Chapter 33: The Snow Falls on the City (Part II)
Along the way, I met a lot of young ladies and young women, and I went to the Red Plum Garden, but fortunately, Xia Xue'er, who has always disliked cumbersomeness, didn't know each other, so I didn't need to stop to say hello. Every time she took a step closer to the main hall, her heart tightened, and her cranial nerves were used to think, so she didn't notice that there was a figure in front of her blocking the way. When she was about to crash into the man's arms, Dongmei stepped out at the right time to grab her, and then she came back to her senses in shock, and Leng Buding was startled by the dark green robe in front of her, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Taking a step back, she raised her head and saw that the person in the way was Mu Feiyang, Xia Xue'er was a little surprised at first, and then she was disgusted again. After all the previous things, she had already seen his shamelessness, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless that he would openly block the way in broad daylight!
In view of the fact that there are many foreigners in the house today, and it is her birthday, Xia Xue'er did not express the disgust in her heart, but said politely: "Please also ask Mu Gongzi to move and let the little girl pass." ”
Unexpectedly, Mu Feiyang didn't speak or get out of the way, just stared at Xia Xue'er, Xia Xue'er was very uncomfortable by his looking eyes, so she raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed softly, which called him back to reality.
Mu Feiyang was about to go to Xia Qi's courtyard, but when he saw Xia Xue'er walking slowly halfway, he was a little stunned for a while and forgot to give way. Now that he reacted, he was very embarrassed, so he had to cough twice to cover it up. Then he bowed and said, "I didn't mean to block the way of the third lady, please don't blame it." ”
Xia Xue'er returned the salute, drew a standard smile on her face, and said, "Mu Gongzi said that he laughed, he came to be a guest, so why blame him." ”
Mu Feiyang looked at the smile on Xia Xue'er's face, a little stunned, in his impression, Xia Xue'er had never given her a good look, and he didn't know when he provoked this pretty woman, he always felt that she seemed to hate herself very much.
"I don't know where the third lady is going in a hurry?"
"Mother called me to the main hall and asked my son to let me go."
Mu Feiyang took a step towards the side of the road, turned sideways, and made way wide enough to ensure that Xia Xue'er could walk. Xia Xue'er saluted Mu Feiyang, got up and hurriedly left, but before she could take a few steps, she heard Mu Feiyang's voice again.
"Third Miss, please stay, I haven't congratulated Miss San's birthday yet, how can I miss it so lightly when I meet a birthday star."
Listening to the beautiful but very unbeatable voice behind her, Xia Xue'er closed her eyes and forcibly suppressed the inexplicable rising fire in her chest, adjusted her mood, and then turned around, looked up at the person in front of her and said: "It is the honor of the little woman that Mu Gongzi can come to the banquet, but the little woman is really in a hurry, so she won't chat with the child, and say goodbye!" After that, he took Dongmei and Cuizhu and walked towards the main hall, regardless of the expressions of the people behind him.
The main hall was noisy and lively. But when Xia Xue'er appeared at the door, the whole room was silent, and everyone looked sideways at the door. The beautiful people in the picture are walking towards Yingying, walking lightly, smiling, all exuding the qualification of fascinating all beings.
A little pink delicacy on the face, the country and the city; A pair of black Zhai stone-like eyes, bright and bright; Two distant mountain-like thin eyebrows, distant and detrimental. Wearing a moon-blue embroidered floor-length skirt, a four-finger-wide ivory white tassel around her waist, and a honey-colored soft wool brocade cape, she looks tall and tall, and her skin is whiter than snow. And the hair is black and bright, except for the two strands of green silk hanging down on the chest, the rest is gently pulled up in a bun, only with a golden step and two transparent jasper hairpins, simple and elegant.
Beauty! Like the peach blossoms that bloom in spring, like the jade lotus that blooms in summer, like the golden chrysanthemum that spits fragrant in late autumn, and like the white plum that is proud of the snow in winter! Her beauty has a youthful breath, wrapped in a trace of dusty fairy energy, her beauty makes all trees lose color, let the flowers fade, just a glance, you can never forget!
When everyone in the room was still intoxicated by Xia Xue'er's stunning beauty and couldn't extricate herself, she had already walked to her mother. Leaned over and saluted, "Xue'er asks her mother to say goodbye, it's late, and I ask my mother to forgive me." ”
"No need to be polite, get up, get up!" Mrs. Xia said lovingly, with a smile on her face. Everyone came back to their senses at this time, and they were amazed by the extreme beauty of the third lady of the Xia family, which made Mrs. Xia even more unable to close her mouth.
"Cher, come!" Mrs. Xia beckoned to Xia Xue'er, pointed to the slightly blessed middle-aged woman sitting on the first pineapple chair on the left, and said, "This is your third aunt, you may not remember, I hugged you when I was a child!" ”
Although the third aunt is in good shape, she still has charm, and the smile on her face is as gentle as a spring breeze, although Xia Xueer does not have the slightest impression of her in her mind, she has a sense of familiarity and comfort.
Xia Xue'er smiled and saluted her, "Hello third aunt!" ”
"That's Mrs. Liu, that's Mrs. Zhang, that's Mrs. Ji......"
Mrs. Xia introduced her daughter to the ladies sitting in the hall one by one, these are all wealthy and powerful people in the capital, they all have one or several young and promising sons, if nothing else, her future in-laws will come from which lady here.
There may be an inexplicable sense of tacit understanding between mothers all over the world, not only Mrs. Xia is thinking about recruiting a son-in-law, but the ladies sitting in the hall are already ready to move, and their enthusiasm is like fire. Not to mention that Xia Xue'er combines beauty and wisdom, she is their ideal type of daughter-in-law, just the huge foundation branches and leaves of the Xia family are enough to impress them, or they are the right family or Gao Pan's relatives, who doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law who has both virtue and can help their son? As a result, the huge hall became a birthday party for a while.
In order not to extinguish her mother's enthusiasm, Xia Xueer also cooperated with each other to greet each other, well-behaved without losing everyone's demeanor. Xia Xue'er seemed to be greeting the ladies, but she was actually searching for Bai Yining, but she didn't see Bai Yining's figure when she turned her eyes around, and she was wondering, but in the next second, she saw a figure hiding in the courtyard behind the Taihu Stone that only showed a corner of her clothes, seeing this, the corners of Xia Xue'er's mouth inadvertently slid out a graceful arc.
Xia Xing, who had just stepped into the door, saw this scene and said jokingly: "Is the third sister smiling at me?" It is really worth the trip to make the beauty smile! ”
Xia Xue'er retracted her distant gaze and fell on Xia Xing without hurrying, and couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the words behind her.
Mrs. Xia smiled helplessly, and said, "This kid is really, what nonsense is he talking about, and he doesn't look at the occasion!" ”
Xia Xing smirked, and then took out the politeness that the son of the gate should have, and said to all the ladies in the hall: "Tianxing has seen all the ladies, so he laughed, and asked the ladies not to take it to heart." ”
"The relationship between the second young master and the third young lady's brother and sister is really envious of others."
"The son is magnificent, and the daughter is as beautiful as a flower, this life is enough!"
"Mrs. Xia is really a blessed person!"
Listening to the praise of all the ladies, Mrs. Xia was naturally happy in her heart, and several people chatted more happily. But Xia Xueer and Xia Xing are both people who advocate freedom, and they both like to live casually on weekdays, but they really don't like this kind of complicated social place, and both of them smile helplessly.
Xia Xue'er suddenly turned her face to Xia Xing and asked, "Is there something wrong with the second brother's coming?" ”
Mrs. Xia also stopped after hearing this, turned her head and asked her son, "Yes, Tianxing, shouldn't you greet this guest with your eldest brother, why did you get here?" ”
Xia Xing originally just saw Bai Yining's sneaky actions when he was passing through the bamboo forest, and he was puzzled, so he secretly followed, who knew that he followed outside the main hall, and saw Xia Xue'er in the house, so he stepped into the door with a hot head. Now when I heard such a question, I didn't know what to say at first, but then I saw my sister's eyes with deep meaning, and suddenly realized, and said to Mrs. Xia: "Mother didn't ask me and almost forgot, it was the eldest brother who had something to find the third sister, so I volunteered to be an errand runner!" ”
Although Mrs. Xia was gentle, she looked at her son with sharp eyes and asked, "Really?" Then he turned to his daughter who was standing beside him, and then at his son. Zhizi Mo Ruomu, she naturally knew in her heart that this was just a cover, but she couldn't bear to tear them apart, so she waved her hand and said, "Since that's the case, then you two should hurry up." ”
Xia Xing and Xia Xue'er breathed a sigh of relief and bowed and retired.
"Thanks to the second brother, otherwise I would still be in a quagmire."
However, to Xia Xue'er's surprise, Xia Xing changed her mind and said with a stern face: "The third sister is laughing again!" I'm here on the orders of my eldest brother to take you to him! ”
"Wouldn't it? Did Big Brother really let you come? ”
Xia Xing looked pretentious, and couldn't help but joke: "Naturally... Fake! Hahahaha! ”
Hearing this, Xia Xue'er also put away her surprise, and wrote "However, I have already understood a qiē", and said with a smile: "I knew that second brother, you were here to save me from fire and water, and you still wanted to lie to me!" ”
Summer line was a little frustrated, it turned out that my sister's previous surprise was faked! But he has always thought about it, not because his acting skills are too clumsy, but because his sister is too smart!
Xia Xing and his sister have always been the most connected, but now they are out of bondage, chatting while walking, naturally happy.
Suddenly, a voice came from the side: "I've seen the second young master and the third young lady." ”
The two of them stopped, looked fixedly, and saw a young man in a green robe about twenty years old walking towards them, and they said hello when they were still some distance away. It's just that he has a good time making friends in the summer, and he basically knows the sons of the family who have dealings with the Xia family in this capital, but he doesn't know who this is in front of him. So when the man approached, Fang Exit asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
The green-robed young man held a folding fan in his hand, bowed and replied, "My surname is Li, and my name is Zongyang." ”
Xia Xing raised his eyebrows, and asked again: "But this year's imperial examination is a flower?" Li Zongyang? ”
The man replied, "Exactly below." ”
Xia Xue'er was not surprised to hear this name, Aunt Li had come to listen to Yuxuan for him before, and said that he had not yet started a family in order to study, and originally thought he was a nerd, but now after a cursory look, he felt that this Li Gongzi did not look like a weak scholar, his wheat-colored skin and low voice added a bit of masculinity, but he always felt evil between his eyebrows and eyes.
So he asked: "I heard that Gongzi Li is Aunt Li's nephew, and there are many people today, so I guess I haven't gone to see my aunt yet, right?" ”
Li Zongyang smiled at Xia Xue'er and replied, "I really haven't had time to see my aunt since I entered the city. ”
After hearing this, Xia Xue'er smiled lightly and said: "There is no banquet yet, my aunt should supervise near the kitchen, Li Gongzi will go and find it, we will leave first." With that, he pulled the corner of the second brother's clothes and left.
Li Zongyang stood behind him, looking at the backs of the two leaving, and the smile on his face deepened a little. It is rumored that the third lady of the Xia family is as beautiful as a fairy, and she really deserves her name when she sees it today, but this chick still has some temperament, he likes it!
After the two of them walked away, Xia Xingcai asked suspiciously: "The third sister doesn't like Li Zongyang?" ”
"I don't like it, it's too hypocritical."
"Oh?" Xia Xing was surprised that his sister would be so outspoken, and turned his face to the side in confusion and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”
Xia Xue'er stopped, looked at the second brother and said seriously: "Although the second brother, you often show up outside, but as far as I know, you haven't shown up in the city during the imperial examination and the past month, and I am a person who hardly goes out." For a person who has just arrived in the capital not long ago, he knows very well that you are the second young master and I am the third young lady, don't you think it's strange? ”
Xia Xing said disapprehantly: "What's this, isn't he Aunt Li's nephew?" We're still relatives. ”
Xia Xueer explained: "But he said that he didn't see Aunt Li's face, and he was obviously lying. As far as I know, this Li Gongzi had come to the capital a month ago, but he chose to stay in the inn, and he had not visited the Xia Mansion for nearly a month. And in just this month, Aunt Li has been out of the house four or five times, if it wasn't for the nephew who went to see the flowers, what else could make a backyard woman go out of the house frequently in the ice and snow? ”
After hearing this, Xia Xing suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that you just asked him if he saw Aunt Li for this!" Then Yaoyao said, "In this way, this Li Zongyang is really not a gentleman. ”
Xia Xue'er smiled lightly and said, "Regardless of him, I finally escaped, I want to go back to my Tingyu Xuan for a while." Second brother, go get busy, after slipping away for so long, it's time for the eldest brother to look for you! ”
"Okay, then I'll go, you go back and have a good rest, and you'll be busy in a while."
Xia Xing touched his sister's head dotingly before leaving, although her sister has grown into a big beauty, she still can't help but look at her as a child.
Seeing her brother turn around and walk away, Xia Xue'er instructed Dongmei: "I'm thirsty, you go back first and let the cook cook a bowl of rock sugar pears." ”
"Yes."
When Dongmei left, Xia Xueer glanced at the rockery on the side, and the corners of her mouth hooked an arc. Bai Yining has been following her since she left the main hall, although she hid all the way, and she didn't even notice Xia Xing, but she still found out, so she took her brother and Dongmei.
If you don't give the other party a chance, how do you know whether the other party wants to show their sword or make peace?
But even if she was suing for peace, she thought that she would not let Bai Yining go lightly. Kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to one's beloved! She never forgot the scene of Xianglan falling in her arms, and she never forgot the bloodstains of Yin Hong in that place.
The snow falls on the city, but the people in the city are no longer what they used to be.
