Chapter 175: Zhao Mansion Distinguished Guest
In the past two days, Zhao Xiancheng's family has a distinguished guest, and at this moment, he is sitting in the front hall, drinking tea with the distinguished guest.
"Well, that's good," the guest smiled, and all the maids in the room gasped slightly...... It's so beautiful.
His hands lazily rested on the armrests of his chair, and the wide scarlet sleeves slid down, revealing a small white wrist that sparkled like a jade carving.
"This is specially prepared for you, this year's new tea, a little bit of the heart of the lower officials." Zhao Xiancheng had a smile on his face, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were finely wrinkled.
"Lord Zhao's mind is not a little," the fingers of the distinguished guest gently turned the teacup, and the pale red tea slightly rippled a few wives, like a lake under the sunset, giving birth to a seductive light, and a few turquoise tea tips slowly rose and fell up and down.
Turquoise tea, light red water, this is produced in the snow of the hanging red strain, the origin is extremely cold, a year only to survive one or two plants, tea with the fragrance of snow and cold, slowly taste on the tip of the tongue, cool fragrance taste such as moist in the heart.
The smile on Zhao Xiancheng's face stiffened slightly, the tea he had obtained with great effort and a lot of money was offered at this time to win the favor of this distinguished guest, of course, this was just the beginning.
It's just that...... Why do you listen to the tone of your guest so unkindly?
He cleared his throat, smiled and said, "To do things for you, the lower officials naturally have to be dedicated." ”
"Hmm." The distinguished guest replied softly, always with a faint smile on his face, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
"I'm tired," the guest pushed away the teacup in his hand, slowly stood up, and the black hair draped over his shoulders instantly drooped down, like a waterfall splashing down the mountain, making people can't help but want to hold it.
"I have already arranged a place for you to live, and the lower official will show you the way." Zhao Xiancheng hurriedly stood up and stretched out his arm to guide the direction.
The nobleman stroked his sleeves, his scarlet robe shone gorgeously in the candlelight, every time he moved, it shone brightly, the snow-white skin was like a cloud in the red light, fluttering softly, the corners of the eyes and eyebrows that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, three points of charm, seven points of confusion, the maid and the maid all pursed their mouths and held their breath, and a heartbeat lost its beat.
Zhao Xiancheng personally carried the lantern, cautiously explored the road in front, and said from time to time: "You are careful of your step. ”
The few guards behind the distinguished guest couldn't help but despise in their hearts, the master's eyesight is much better than yours!
Finally arrived at an elegant and chic courtyard, it can be seen that it has been carefully arranged, the distinguished guest looked around, the smile on his face was still faint, "Lord Zhao has a heart." ”
"Where, where," Zhao Xiancheng smiled, "it should be, it should be." ”
He still wanted to flatter a few more words, but the distinguished guest waved his hand and yawned again, he could only be unwilling, but said in his mouth: "Then the lower official will retire first, and will not disturb your rest." ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Xiancheng retreated, not daring to stay, until he walked out of a distance, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and let out a long breath.
It is rumored that the Seventh Prince always looks like he is smiling and never angry, but just that faint smile is enough to make many officials big and small sweat drenched.
He looked up at the night sky, the moonlight was good tonight, like a round jade plate hanging in the thick night, the stars around him were brilliant, like countless charming eyes, he suddenly remembered that such a description was what Aunt Pei had told him.
Thinking of Aunt Pei, her charming little appearance is like a fluffy little hand, constantly scratching the tip of his heart, he smiled, and remembered that the grandmother in the courtyard came to report this afternoon, saying that Aunt Pei's body is not very comfortable, but he has been accompanying the Seven Princes, and he really can't get out.
Thinking that the beauty was still sick, although someone had invited a famous doctor, it was still worrying, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps and walked towards Aunt Pei's yard.
When Zhao Xiancheng was accompanying the Seventh Prince in the front hall, Rong Xi took out a piece of silk cloth and gently put it on Aunt Pei's snow-white wrist.
Aunt Pei carefully looked at this cultivator who has been famous for everyone recently, the young man under the light raised his long eyebrows, gently stretched out in the night breeze, he lowered a pair of eyes, and his thick eyelashes rolled like butterfly wings, blocking the bright light in his eyes.
The fingers he put on his wrist were as full as jade, and like snow-white hostas blooming quietly in the night, and she suddenly felt that her small piece of skin under the silk handkerchief was slowly burning.
Her gaze couldn't help but fall on the young man's lips, his lips were slightly pursed, like two delicate flowers, ruddy and full, exuding a sweet scent, quiet but indescribably amorous, intoxicating.
Aunt Pei couldn't help but regret a little, such a good person...... Is......
She hesitated slightly, looked up and saw two glances from Mama Qin, which were reminder eyes, she was excited, and finally ruthlessly made a decision.
A qiē is nothing but a moment.
Rong Xi raised his fingers, pulled the silky silk handkerchief, and raised his eyes to look at the faint blue and white between Aunt Pei's eyebrows, as well as the flush on her face, and her eyes fell on her slightly purple lips.
Then he turned around and stood up, walked to the table, Xiao'er took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, and Rong Xi said while writing the prescription: "Aunt Pei, if you are not mistaken, you should be poisoned." ”
"Ahh Aunt Pei immediately let out an exclamation, but the look on her face was not surprised, and Mama Qin, who was beside her, immediately said, "Auntie, the old slave will go back to the master." ”
"Aunt Pei, I really admire your courage below." Rong Xi held the brush in his hand and said slowly.
Her speed of speech was very slow, but she successfully held Mama Qin's footsteps, and Aunt Pei's hand that was retracting stiffened slightly, and then said with a gentle smile: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Although she smiled, there was a little cold light in her eyes.
Rong Xi just smiled indifferently, this kind of small role is also worthy of pretending to be deep in front of herself, you are too tender, she glanced at Xiao'er.
Xiao'er Xiao'er immediately understood, took a step forward, and said: "Aunt Pei, don't talk about my son-in-law, I have already seen that the villain is a villain, you are poisonous, but the weight is extremely light, it just makes your complexion look a little worse, and makes you feel slightly uncomfortable, but ...... And that's all. ”
The smile on Aunt Pei's face was like a petal gently withering, the cold light in her eyes lit up little by little, Mama Qin stepped forward, and said with a calm old face: "What does little brother want to say?" ”
"What I want to say is," Xiao'er puffed out his cheeks, "If it is really as this grandmother said, you were poisoned and murdered, then the person who poisoned must be a fool and a nerd, the weight of poisoning is so light, you can't poison people at all and cause trouble, why bother?" Therefore, the villain dared to think that how did this poison come about, presumably Aunt Pei had a conclusion in her heart, my son-in-law is just a doctor, and he relieved the physical pain for you, as for the rest...... We just can't manage it, and we don't want to. ”
Rong Xi curled the corners of her lips slightly, well, this girl is a manufacturable material, it seems that although her previous temperament was weaker, after all, she grew up in the courtyard of a deep house, and she has seen countless struggles, and this kind of house fight of the Cheng family in a small county can't stop her eyes at all.
"You!" Aunt Pei's palm slammed on the edge of the bed, the gentleness just now receded, her pretty face was gloomy as water, and the bottom layer of her eyes was full of calculations.
Xiao'er rolled her eyes, hmm, the truth is revealed, right? The...... And the second lady has a virtue.
Mama Qin's breathing was slightly faster, and cold sweat broke out slightly in the palms of her hands, these two people were really not simple, when they first entered the mansion, they felt a little different when they looked at their calm expressions, and now they ...... actually saw through the plan that Aunt Pei had finally set at a glance.
She sneered twice, and said in a low voice: "Little brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" If you don't see a good disease, you will say that you can't see a good disease, our aunt is magnanimous, and she won't care about you, what do you mean by saying these words now? Is it necessary to pour dirty water on our aunt in order to save your reputation? What a nonsense! ”
"Who can't see it!" When Xiao'er heard this, she was not angry, and immediately wanted to refute, but Rong Xi gently raised her hand and suppressed her hand.
"Yes, I am only shallow in the next year, so Aunt Pei should ask for another master." Rong Xi put away the brush, took the half-written recipe in his hand, and gently pulled it, and then pulled it again.
The square was slowly torn apart by her, her gaze was thin and cold, like a sharp blade scraping quickly, making people's hearts tight.
Aunt Pei's breath stagnated, and she felt that today's Xiu Gongzi's demeanor was really not like a doctor, she waved her hand and said to Mama Qin: "What are you doing in a daze?" Drop-off! ”
"Yes!" Mama Qin immediately understood, and said coldly, "Please." ”
Xiao'er was annoyed by her attitude, and just wanted to theorize, Rong Xi shook her head lightly at her.
The two of them followed Mama Qin, and she led them to the outside of the mansion.
It's just that Rong Xi's heart has never relaxed its vigilance, the subtle words that Mama Qin said in the carriage on the way here, as well as the strange poison in Aunt Pei, and her later attitude, as well as ...... In the end, the look in her eyes when she motioned for Mama Qin to send her out was unusual.
Rong Xi always felt as if he had fallen into some conspiracy trap, like a prey, and slowly walked into the center of the trap in ignorance.
At this time, Mama Qin, who was walking in front, suddenly bent over, covered her stomach and said, "Ouch...... No, the old slave suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so please wait here for a while, and the old slave will come back in a while. ”
She didn't wait for Rong Xi to come back, and she didn't care about Xiao'er's stomping and shouting in the back, but it was just a blink of an eye, and there was no trace.
