Chapter 7: The Lord's Thoughts
The ladies and ladies of the various provinces gathered in the banquet hall in the open space of the garden, and the laughter and laughter were all over the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At noon, all kinds of strange teas and exotic fruits were on the table. On the food table, the glazed plates, full of brilliance, crystal clear, with the lychee rarely seen in the north, plum and other Qiongtai clever things, it is really beautiful and delicious, living and fragrant, attracting people to salivate.
The ladies have soft hands, elegant two fingers twisted lightly, and clever things slow down in the mouth, sweet and sour, sweet and sour. The ladies frowned slightly, their beautiful eyes were half-narrowed, and after savoring them, they were full of fresh fragrance. The compact eyebrows and eyes suddenly stretched, the red lips were lightly wriggling, and the aftertaste was endless.
"Second lady, if you really put a lot of effort into it, I'm afraid that these Qiongtai clever things can not be bought with silver." The county lord of Chaoxiang, who was sitting opposite the second lady, smiled and praised it.
Although she knew that it was a welcome on her face, the good-faced second lady Wen was still as sweet as honey in her heart. With a smile on his face covered by heavy makeup, he squeezed his facial features together, making people unbearable to look at directly. "The county lord's words are to the point, this is all sent back from Qiongtai by my Erlang, the branches are tender and the leaves are green, the color is green and bright, and it is fresh."
The county lord of Chaoxiang casually picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and asked casually, "The second lady's Erlang is far away in Qiongtai, and it is difficult for him." ”
"The county lord is attentive and considerate of our Erlang, which is the blessing of my Erlang. When this child was young, he followed his father to advocate martial arts, and I didn't see his grandfather and his son all year round. Wen said sadly.
Lord Chaoxiang raised his eyes and glanced at the Wen family, and said with a smile, "You can't say that." This good boy has ambitions in all directions. Ling Lang is a handsome young man, and he has a good heart, isn't he a thousand times stronger than those gentlemen who have nothing to do all day? In the future, it will be the material of the pillars. ”
As soon as Wen heard this, he immediately turned from sadness to joy, smiled, the fat powder on his face was jumping, and he was about to speak, only to see Fen'er standing outside the colorful gauze curtain tent with a panicked expression, whispering to the girl Ruyi next to Wen's, Wen's doubts, and seeing Ruyi looking around uneasily, could it be that something happened to the swift? Wen's heart thumped. Ruyi seemed to have lost her mind, entered the falling tent, walked through the banquet, and whispered in Wen's ear about the second lady falling into the water. Wen's face changed drastically, like sitting on pins and needles. The flustered eyes just swept at the county lord of Chaoxiang inadvertently. Wen was embarrassed, his cheeks were hot, and even the heavy fat powder couldn't hide the red clouds that rose instantly.
Wen got up in embarrassment and said, his tongue was about to be knotted, "The county lord sits first, then, there is something over there, I will go back as soon as I go." ”
The county lord of Chaoxiang was as subtle and elegant as ever, with a good demeanor and a modest nod.
Wen was in a hurry, and on the way, Fen'er roughly talked about the process of Zhang Yuyan falling into the water, but she didn't know that Zhang Yuyan and Zhang Yulin were secretly fighting, so naturally the second lady didn't know the reason.
On the rosewood bed in the boudoir, Zhang Yuyan's face was white and her lips were purple, her breathing was not smooth, and she coughed lightly from time to time.
The second lady saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, and ordered repeatedly, "Quickly ask the house doctor." ”
Due to the large population of the family and the fact that Mrs. Tai was old and frail, the family was equipped with two doctors in case of need.
As soon as Wen's voice fell, the government doctor Chu Yunqiu had already arrived. He is a fair, elegant, gentle and humble person.
After entering the door to greet him, he waited for the curtain to fall, put a handkerchief on his wrist, and got permission, so Chu Yunqiu sat down to check his pulse in accordance with the rules.
******************************
Zhang Yuxia and the others dragged away, walked to the lotus pond, and saw the county lord of Chaoxiang wearing a long skirt with violet color painted hibiscus trailing the waist and shaking sleeves, phoenix eyes smiling, long and thick eyelashes, spreading wings like butterflies, a pair of soft and slender white skin, and the orchids embroidered on the cuffs set off the fingers like shaving onions, and the lips were red, and a beautiful curved arc was warped. Ruyu's earlobes carry the Yingluo pendant of Cherry, which is light and dances with the wind. The jade-faced Luo fan in his hand waved lightly, as elegant as a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
"I've seen the county lord." Sister Zhang Yuxia hurriedly greeted her.
The county lord of Chaoxiang is the only sister of the emperor today, married to Zhang Yuxia's uncle three years ago---- Shang'an Hou Qian Fangjun, and now Zhang Yuxia's aunt.
The county lord of Chaoxiang took Zhang Yuxia's hand, looked left and right, and praised, "I have really grown into a big girl, and my aunt almost didn't dare to recognize it." ”
Zhang Yuxia smiled, "Aunt makes fun of my niece." My aunt is a rare beauty in the world, which made my uncle fall in love at first sight. ”
The county lord of Chaoxiang was angry, but he was reluctant to blame him. "Is your mother okay?"
"It's still like that, with medicine every day." Zhang Yuxia smiled bitterly.
"It's the only way to go, the old problem can't come in a hurry." The county lord comforted.
Although the lord of Chaoxiang was born in the royal family, he is not arrogant and approachable, especially the family, and he is sincerely kind. Husband and wife are harmonious, and aunts and sisters-in-law are affectionate, which is difficult to see in other homes.
Even the Anle Mansion, which is known for its filial piety and virtue on the surface, is only maintaining a superficial harmony, and it is not a mess in private.
The county lord of Chaoxiang looked at Zhang Yuxia carefully, as if she had something to say, she led Zhang Yuxia to the side of the pool and walked slowly.
"Sister Xia is getting better and better now, but is there anyone you like? My aunt can also help you with a meal or two. Lord Chaoxiang said seriously.
Zhang Yuxia's face turned red, "Auntie, you are far away again." I don't have the heart of getting married yet. ”
The eyes of the county lord of Chaoxiang fell to the surface of the water, the lotus flowers in the water were blooming thickly, and the white lotus and red lotus were intricately blooming, and a pool was full. White as jade, pink as xia, elegant and clean. The breeze rises, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers sway, and the dragonflies fall in the center of the flowers from time to time, starting and stopping, as if teasing.
The county lord of Chaoxiang pointed to the budding flower bones in the pool, "Sister Xia, look, you are like this flower now, it is the season to bloom." No matter what you think, the time to come is to come. ”
Zhang Yuxia was depressed in her heart, wondering why her aunt would say such words that didn't match the beginning or the end. But she knew that the county lord had a steady temperament and would not say nonsense. She muttered, "Why did my aunt say this? Isn't there something ......?"
Lord Chaoxiang looked at her for a while, and smiled with satisfaction, "Sister Xia is really a permeable person, and you can understand the meaning of your aunt just by saying a word." ”
Although Zhang Yuxia was calm on her face, she was out of proportion in her heart, and said in her heart, it wouldn't be related to the prince, right?
The county lord of Chaoxiang smiled slightly, "Sister Xia, what do you think of the prince?" ”
Zhang Yuxia's chaotic heart was like falling into the abyss, and her face changed instantly, "Prince? She said in her heart, even if she did something today, can't she change her fate?
Seeing her face shocked, the county lord of Chaoxiang said strangely, "Sister Xia, you don't like the prince?" ”
