Chapter Ninety-One: A Mysterious Date
"Why is there no news at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Duanyue leaned in the pavilion in the garden, looking at the lake lifelessly and in a daze alone.
Cuiguo also lay beside Duanyue, holding a fan in his hand, and helped Duanyue fan the cool breeze one by one. Five days have passed since the wind set out, but not a single letter has been sent back from the front, which is really worrying. The huge Ninghou Mansion was like a plate of loose sand all of a sudden, and everyone was decadent in an instant.
"The county lord doesn't have to worry, Lord Hou will be fine." Cuiguo casually comforted Duanyuedao, but she sighed secretly.
Rong'er walked along the path with her head bowed and smashed, she looked at the arrears of the Duanyue payment, and said respectfully. "County Lord, Miss Yu is waiting in the courtyard." When the wind was not there, Rong'er had nothing to do, and she followed Duanyue with nothing to do, and now it was like a copy of the emerald fruit, and no one in the house dared to bully her.
Duanyue heard that the mandarin duck was coming, but she was not as energetic as before, she lazily stood up from the railing and asked slowly. "Why is the mandarin duck here?"
"What? I can't even come anymore, can I? The mandarin duck was wearing a red printed gown, and the tulle draped on her arms hung lightly at her side, and when the wind blew, it fluttered like a cloud. She stepped on the gravel road, walked to the pavilion where Duanyue was, and looked at her helplessly.
"Master Hou has just been out for a few days, and you are worried about this, look at the folds on your face, you are several years old." She laughed at Duanyue, and couldn't help but laugh out loud after saying a few words. "I see that you are bored at home every day and are about to grow mushrooms, why don't you take advantage of the good weather to go out for a walk?"
Duanyue shook her head, how could she have the heart to go outside to play now? She can remember the wind with all her heart, and she doesn't want to fidget at tea and dinner. She propped her head and pursed her lips aggrievedly.
How could the mandarin duck give up like this, she immediately took Duanyue's hand affectionately, forcibly pulled her out of the pavilion, looked at her with a smile, and tried to make her happy. She looked Duanyue up and down, reached out and pinched the peony in the roadside flowers with her fingernails, and inserted it into Duanyue's bun.
"This pink peony is so beautiful, it makes your little face pink and tender." The mandarin duck tilted his head and smiled.
"Do you mean I'm like a peach?" Duan Yuejiao said angrily, and finally couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. "I really can't help you, so let's go."
She turned her head and whispered to Emerald standing behind her. "I'm out for a stroll with Mandarin Duck, so you can stay in the house and have a good rest." Cuiguo nodded, and then sent Duanyue out with Rong'er on the side.
Duanyue held the mandarin duck silently, and the mandarin duck's eyes always glanced at her uneasily, thinking that she had to say something to enliven the atmosphere. She pursed her lips and suddenly leaned over. "Huh! What do you say the county lord of Jin Zhao is doing these days? I don't think there's any news of her. ”
"Whatever she does." After thinking about it carefully, I haven't seen Lu Qingyi for a long time. According to Lu Qingyi's temperament, no matter whether there is anything wrong or not, she will always come to Ninghou Mansion once or twice, and chat with Duanyue for a while. However, Duanyue still wished that she wouldn't come, and looked at her and didn't know what to say, looking very embarrassed.
Mandarin Yuan didn't notice the dissatisfaction in Duanyue's tone, and continued. "It won't be long before she will become your sister-in-law, and she will have to live under the same roof in the future, so naturally you have to pay more attention."
"Don't talk about it, I really don't know how to get along with her, it's so strange to have someone out of thin air."
"Okay, okay, I'll not say anything." Mandarin Yuan knew that he had said a bad topic, so he hurriedly stopped, and stopped talking about it according to Duanyue's meaning. But she lowered her head, remembering that day when she was in Zeyang Palace, she was ridiculed by everyone, and only Lu Qingyi was willing to come forward, so she couldn't help but sigh.
"But Xiao Yue, I really think that Lord Jin Zhao is a good person. She didn't know me, but she was able to help me speak at the expense of offending Wei Que. She stared at Duanyue's eyes tightly and continued. She's not as bad as we thought. ”
Duanyue's eyes closed slightly, and then he said in a state of confusion. "Of course I know she's not a bad person, and she's good to me and my brother, but I still need a buffer."
After hearing this, the mandarin duck nodded, and then stopped talking.
The mandarin duck remembered what Duanyue said before about "going to the temple fair", and he couldn't help but pull Duanyue all the way to the south of the city. Duanyue felt that she might have planned it a long time ago, otherwise how could there be a temple fair so coincidentally?
After many years, I came to the temple fair again, and the sugar man windmill that I couldn't put down in my childhood is now swept by without stopping. Duanyue's eyes were attracted by the juggling on the side of the road. I saw a group of people forming a semicircle, Duanyue and Mandarin Duck finally squeezed in, and saw that it turned out to be those street tricks, which were nothing more than spitting fire and swallowing swords and smashing boulders in their chests. But even with such an ordinary trick, the two of them were still shocked.
Seeing that the skinny man raised his head and opened his mouth, swallowing the half-human iron sword, the mandarin duck was so frightened that he hurriedly squeezed Duanyue's palm, and Duanyue's face wrinkled in pain.
"Scared the hell out of me!" The mandarin duck turned her face, and a frightened little face made Duanyue smile.
Duanyue was about to open her mouth to laugh at her timidity, but she caught a glimpse of a dark red figure. She saw it very unreal, just at a glance, she felt very familiar, and then thought about it carefully, there were some like the beautiful shopkeeper of the Hu Yan Restaurant, so her curiosity was immediately raised.
Seeing her sudden distraction, the mandarin duck stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her. "What are you looking at?"
"I really want to see someone I know, I'll go and make sure it's not!" With that, he squeezed out of the crowd. The mandarin duck glanced at her helplessly, she had long been accustomed to her whims, so she had to hurriedly follow her, like a little tail.
Duanyue followed the dark red figure and turned onto a less crowded road. When she saw the figure, it looked very much like the vague figure in her mind. Mandarin Duck glanced at Duanyue, then followed her gaze to the dark red voice, and asked in a soft voice beside Duanyue. "Is that the woman? If you just go up, why bother following behind. ”
Duanyue turned her head and smiled awkwardly at her. "I said, I know her, but she doesn't know me."
The mandarin duck let out an "oh", closed its mouth beside Duanyue, and followed the woman strangely. But along the way, the woman still didn't notice the two ill-intentioned people behind her.
The woman came to the end of the street, which was a small river about three feet, and she looked around as if she were looking for someone. As soon as she turned her head, Duanyue saw her face, and it was indeed that beautiful woman. When the mandarin duck saw her face, her eyes widened and she was reluctant to take her off.
"Oh my God, there is such a beautiful woman in Chang'an City!" The mandarin duck secretly exclaimed.
The woman's eyes lit up, as if she had found her target, she beckoned, and sure enough, a man slowly walked not far away. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Duanyue squinted her eyes and looked, isn't that man just a little wolf who is eating and drinking in his Ninghou Mansion! With these eyes, nose and mouth, of course Duanyue can't admit it.
Seeing that the two of them were so familiar, Duanyue suddenly remembered the first time she met the little wolf, just what the second junior in the nonsense restaurant said.
"'Again' is coming."
Now that I think about it, I didn't even notice the word "again".
She took the mandarin duck by the hand, and even turned away, not wanting the two to notice her.
