Chapter 335: The Game
Xue Baiqiao's matter, Hongchen really didn't feel the need to be in a hurry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
She has encountered a lot of strange things, and it seems that a person can suddenly become a cat, and it seems that there is nothing left.
When it came to Xue Baiqiao, he didn't look anxious at first, he himself had been delaying for so long, who dared to say that he was in a hurry. At this time, it was pitiful, it looked miserable, and it didn't rush much, just looking at Hongchen with wet eyes.
Hongchen is okay, barely able to do his own thing slowly and methodically.
Lin Xu came over once, and when he saw his appearance, he was speechless, and after asking clearly, he also sank his face, and hurriedly urged Hongchen to hurry up and deal with the matter.
Not for Xue Baiqiao, but also for the Miss Yun family.
Originally, the marriage date was set, but the fiancΓ© suddenly came up with all kinds of ideas, saying that he would not marry anything, this is the Miss Yun family, and she was replaced by another sensitive and thoughtful person, who said that she would not be depressed and become ill.
Women are no better than men, when they encounter such things, for men, even if they have a bad reputation, it will have little impact, and for their daughters' families, especially the ladies of large families, it is like a bolt from the blue, and it will definitely affect a lifetime.
Hongchen is not the first time he has come to Ninghou Mansion.
However, it was the first time I entered the courtyard of Xue Baiqiao, and when I went to Ninghou Mansion before, I was all entertained in the lobby or in Yilan Garden.
Today, Ning Hou is not there for his old man, and it is estimated that Xue Baiqiao is specially chosen for his absence.
"This is the county lord of Rong'an, hey, I'm not in good health, and I don't go out often, it's the first time I've seen him."
Xue Baiqiao's sister-in-law's surname is Xing, she looks like a good-looking and gentle woman, entering the door with Hongchen's hand, with a slight smile on her face, amiable, "This little brother-in-law of my family doesn't do his job all day long, and he always plays with those fox friends and dog friends, which can make his eldest brother **** a lot of heart, and it is fortunate to be able to make friends with the county lord......"
What Xing said sounded normal, and it also revealed a sense of intimacy.
Xue Baiqiao stood aside with a straight face, as if he didn't mind.
But Hongchen heard a strange taste from her tone, with a little contempt.
Now Xue Baiqiao can be regarded as a high position and has won the trust of the emperor, and there is already news that after a while, the emperor may let him go to the Criminal Department, it seems that he intends to let him serve in the Sixth Department, and finally see where the talent is, it can be said that he is quite concerned.
Even now, Xue Baiqiao is also a close minister by the side of the Son of Heaven, he can face the saint at any time, other ministers want to see the emperor, then they have to wait for the summons of the Long Live Lord, Xue Baiqiao enters the palace and goes home The feeling is almost the same, he lived in the palace for many years when he was a child, and his palace has not been appropriated for other purposes, and has remained the same.
Such an official, who is already serving in the DPRK, treats a woman like a child, and casually evaluates his friendship, even if it is his sister-in-law, it feels strange enough.
Hongchen didn't pay attention at first, but when he looked at this Xing family carefully, he didn't feel frowning, a little disgusted, this person's qi was very turbid, it should be riddled with sins, and I don't know how she was a woman who lived in the boudoir, how did she get into this appearance, when she saw this, Hongchen didn't have the spirit to take care of it, probably those things in the inner house, speaking of which, it seems that the women in the inner house are not a few people who are riddled with sins, and since she can gradually see these things, she will always can't help but sigh a few words about the danger of the inner house.
After a few simple copies, I went to Xue Baiqiao.
Leaving this sister-in-law, Xue Baiqiao frowned and said, "Don't mind Hongchen, my sister-in-law is just that...... There's nothing bad about it. β
Xue Baiqiao and his eldest brother have a bad relationship, even if they don't want to embarrass his eldest brother too much, even when he is the most naughty, he doesn't disrespect his sister-in-law, although he doesn't like this sister-in-law, no one likes people who stand tall at every turn and inexplicably despise themselves.
"You'd better hurry up and see what's wrong with my place." Xue Baiqiao had a bitter face, "I have a feeling now, maybe I will pounce when I see a mouse, maybe in a few days, you will be able to see me jump into the pond to catch fish." β
He didn't want to spread rumors after a while, that little Hou of the Ning Hou family was a madman!
Hongchen nodded, looked at Xue Baiqiao's courtyard in general, and at a glance, the sky was clear and clean.
He entered his room again.
As soon as he entered Xue Baiqiao's room, Hongchen saw how favored he was at home, every furnishing in the room was very precious, and he said that the piano on the piano table was worth a thousand gold, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone visited on the table were all fine works in the palace, and the inkstone was the masterpiece of the former dynasty Zhiyan master, and even the vase thrown on the windowsill casually looked milky white and bright, and it was definitely a good thing.
There is also a small screen standing in front of the window, on which is a landscape painting, green mountains and green waters, ancient forests, red dust can not see the calendar, but also can see that it is not an ordinary thing.
Xue Baiqiao didn't feel anything strange about the furnishings in his house, and stared at Hongchen nervously.
"How? What did you find? β
Hongchen narrowed his eyes and slowly approached the screen.
Xue Baiqiao was suddenly taken aback: "There is a problem with this screen?" "No, he likes this thing very much, and has been in the house for more than ten years.
"It's an old thing, it's been used for a long time, and nothing happened before."
Hongchen smiled: "Don't worry. As he spoke, he squatted down and looked carefully at the hut in the screen.
After looking at it for a while, he beckoned Xue Baiqiao to come over, "You come, look here." β
Xue Baiqiao was stunned, leaned over and looked hard, he didn't see anything wrong at first, and suddenly his eyes froze: "Is there someone in the house?" Someone behind the window! β
He was a little incredulous: "I never found out!" β
You know, this screen is his beloved thing, he has liked it since he was a child, and the furnishings in the house are often changed, but the screen has not been changed, and he will often enjoy one or two.
At this time, he suddenly found that he couldn't figure out what was on the screen, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't help but lean over to take a closer look.
"A girl? Wait, this girl, this girl is so familiar. Xue Baiqiao felt that she was very familiar, racked his brains and thought about it for a long time, he couldn't remember who it was, and his head hurt a little.
Hongchen stared thoughtfully at the screen for a while, and suddenly sighed.
Xue Baiqiao was stunned: "Hongchen? But what's wrong? β
Hongchen pondered for a moment, and suddenly murmured: "It's a little interesting, let's take a look." β
As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Xue Baiqiao: "I haven't been to you for a while, why don't you let me stay today, and get close to your family by the way, and call Sister Yun here, I haven't seen her for a long time." β
Xue Baiqiao's face changed.
In the end, I followed Hongchen's wishes.
"Play a fun game at night and try to get as many people as you can in the family."
The county lord of Rong'an casually ran to Ninghou's house to live, which didn't seem very appropriate, but Hongchen opened his mouth, and it was so natural that no one could say a word.
Yun Shujun also came soon, this general's lady is very busy on weekdays, but she has been idle recently, everyone knows why she is idle, only Xue Baiqiao pretended to be stupid.
But even if Xue Baiqiao was 'bullied' like this, Yun Shujun had no resentment on his face, he was still so calm and generous, only occasionally showing a hint of haggardness.
Such a good girl, think about Xue Baiqiao's childish behavior...... Hongchen really felt that it was a flower inserted in that for a while, and of course Miss Yun could only be a flower.
Although the Yun family is in decline, it is also a big family that can lead troops, and Xue Baiqiao's sister-in-law was still polite to her, but when she saw that Hongchen had a good relationship with her, she immediately showed a very surprised expression: "I didn't expect that the relationship between the county lord and Miss Yun is so good?" β
Xing covered his lips and showed a very special smile, "That's good, I'm still worried...... You can't get there. β
Yun Shujun couldn't help frowning, and said solemnly: "The county lord of Rong'an has a great kindness to my Yun family, and my family is grateful to Dade, if one day, the county lord needs it, my Yun family is at the mercy of the dispatch." β
These words were loud, and when Xing heard it, he was a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Yun Shujun is not a person who likes to embarrass people, not to mention that this person is still Xue Baiqiao's sister-in-law, so she didn't say much.
A few people sat and talked for a while, Xue Baiqiao's eldest brother didn't come, he called his little nephew and little niece, and a cousin who was temporarily living in their house.
Only then did Hongchen discover that Ninghou's Xue family was also a big family, with a large population.
Xue Baiqiao's sister-in-law Xing looked a little awkward, but the two children were very cute, all of them had red lips and white teeth, especially the older boy, who looked a little similar to Xue Baiqiao, and there was a red mole in the center of his eyebrows.
These two children were not born to the Xing family, but to Xue Songqiao's two concubines, because after these two concubines gave birth, their bodies were weak and they went early, so they were raised under the name of the Xing family, but they were usually taken care of by the old lady.
Xing's family also had a son-in-law, but he was raised until he was three years old, and he accidentally died, Xue Songqiao was good in other places, with outstanding ability, and was established as a son of the world early, but the fate of the children was not enough, and the children could not be raised in the early years, but fortunately, they were better later, and they raised a pair of good children.
These two children are very lively, they are quite pampered at home at first glance, and Xing's treat them quite affectionately, even if they are not really their own, they are also very careful.
However, the children are still young, usually not many opportunities to see outsiders, at this time there are guests at home, it seems to be very curious, Hongchen casually took out a pair of dragonflies carved by children, the carving is excellent, the wings are as thin as cicada wings, the wind blows and gently vibrates, a pair of eyes are red and red, bright and dripping, very good-looking, all of a sudden the two children were bought, around her chatter.
Xue Baiqiao had something hidden in his heart, and he rolled his eyes: "Such a good thing, I don't know how to prepare one for me." β
Hongchen: "......"
Well, this is also a big kid who doesn't grow up.
After talking for a while, everyone is familiar, they have eaten, and they have nothing to do, so they naturally want to play games, such as drumming and passing flowers.
Hongchen gave Xue Baiqiao a look.
Xue Baiqiao's face showed a little entanglement, then disappeared, stood up and said loudly: "What's the point of beating the drum and passing the flowers, it's not fun to throw pots, it's night now, you can't go out to run horses and hunt, Hongchen, aren't you a spirit master, let's play a fresh one, you recruit a wild ghost to come and play with us, I remember you said before, there are spirit masters who can serve ghosts, pour tea and water for people, and sing and dance for people." β
Everyone: "......"
Yun Shujun's face was red, and she couldn't wait to cover her face with her sleeves, but she didn't know this person, but she knew Xue Baiqiao in the end, and she didn't think he would be unreasonable, so she vaguely guessed that this guy must have a purpose, coughed, and whispered: "It's really interesting." β
Everyone: "......"
Even Xing glanced at Yun Shujun in disbelief...... I didn't expect that this young lady of the Yun family was actually a soft character, and she was obedient enough to Xue Baiqiao.
Xue Baiqiao deliberately showed a particularly curious look: "How about it, okay?" I remember you told me that in the previous dynasty, there were spiritual masters who held a night banquet, invited powerful and powerful heroes, invited the most famous beauties in ancient and modern times to accompany them, and an invitation to a night banquet was hard to find. β
Hongchen smiled suddenly: "It's okay, if you're not afraid, let's have a play." β
"Don't be afraid." Xue Baiqiao made a disdainful look, "Master, I really want to see it." β
Yun Shujun also smiled: "There are more people than ghosts, and there is nothing to be afraid of." β
Xue Baiqiao's cousin was originally a shy girl, and when she heard someone talk about this, she laughed: "I have no taboos since I was a child, and I have never been afraid of ghosts. β
As she spoke, she glanced at Hongchen with a sharp gaze.
Hongchen didn't think it was funny, this girl's eyes, looking at her was similar to a liar who pretended to be a ghost, she was quite famous in Beijing, and now there are few people who dare to treat her as a liar.
The others didn't pay attention to the eyebrow lawsuit here, and thought about it, this kind of play is really rare, the spirit master can't be invited to play at home casually, and there are not many approachable people, besides, they also want to give Xue Baiqiao face, so they agreed one after another.
Xing Shi scolded a few ridiculous words with a straight face, Xue Baiqiao just didn't hear it, not only that, but he also grinded and soaked hard, pulled Ning Hou and Shizi, who had just gone home, and dragged them hard, so angry that Ning Hou's face changed, and when he saw Hongchen in the door, he could only restrain his anger and smile like a kind elder.
Hongchen said hello seriously, and explained that Xue Baiqiao was going to play a game by the way, showing that he was very face-saving.
Xue Baiqiao, who was attacked by Ning Hou's eye knife: "......"
Since they were all enthusiastic about playing, Hongchen ordered Luo Niang to bring a box, take out the incense burner from it, and put a very strange spice in it.
This is the spirit of rhino incense, also called Tongtian rhino, the ancient book records, there was a person named Wen Qiao, one day to go to Niu Zhu Rock, heard the sound of music under the water, the water is unfathomable, it is rumored that there are many monsters under it, so burn the rhino horn and shine on it. When I saw the water tribe covered in fire, strange shapes, or riding a carriage, I dreamed at night that someone said: 'What do you mean by being separated from you and Mingdao?' ββ¦β¦ The so-called rhino horn is a spiritual rhino, as long as it is ignited, it can be channeled. Hongchen chuckled, "This method is much more convenient and less troublesome than opening your spiritual eyes. β
"Little Hou Ye, are you sure you want to play?"
"Play, have to play."
Hongchen nodded and lit the spirit rhino incense himself.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but as the smoke rises, everyone vaguely really feels a chill. (To be continued.) )
