Chapter Seventy-Four: Hijacked
Linglong was furious in her heart, and slapped him a few more times, until Gui Ying grabbed her, and she was still scolding at the middle-aged man while struggling.
The middle-aged man was so dizzy that Linglong was so strong that he couldn't say a word.
There were more and more onlookers around, and Gui Ying hurriedly pulled Linglong away, "Miss, okay, don't let people see the joke." ”
Linglong stopped, his eyes scanned the surroundings coldly, "Sue you, I, Su Linglong, am now a serious young lady of the Su family, who dares to say anything to my grandfather?" Let me see who puts a stinky face on me in the future, this ...... That's the end! Hum! ”
Linglong flicked his sleeves and strode away, Gui Ying lowered his head and stepped on small steps to follow, and walked out for a long time before they slowed down, Linglong shook off his aching hand, I didn't expect it to hurt so much, but just after venting so much, the anger in my heart was discharged, and my mind was much clearer.
"Gui Ying, isn't my appearance particularly scary?"
"Hmmm! It's kind of a bit! ”
"Have you ever been angry like this?"
"No, but my lord often blows his beard and stares, and his wife is always soft and unhurried, just enough to cure my lord."
Linglong stopped and looked back at her: "You mean that I shouldn't learn from your master, but should learn from your wife?" ”
"The slave doesn't dare, but the slave and maid feel that many things in the back house can't be solved by getting angry, and maybe it's better to learn from my wife's soft temperament."
Linglong lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, she also knew that she was impulsive, but the scene she saw at the door made her really can't help it, it was so annoying! Two living beings! They are only fourteen or fifteen years old, like flowers! If you die inexplicably, you will be spurned. She was so angry that she happened to see the ugly middle-aged man, so she couldn't help but start.
"But Miss did a good job, and the slave wanted to pump him, but she couldn't! What the young lady did was simply delightful. ”
"Really?"
"Really, miss. It's just that those two maids have no relationship with you and have no reason, and they are still serving by Miss Lingxuan's side. The slave originally thought that the young lady would not care! ”
"People can be ruthless if they are not grass and trees. I didn't expect Su Lingxuan to be so ruthless, so be careful when you meet her in the future. ”
"Yes, miss."
They were talking. When I looked up, I met Su Lingxuan.
Now she is dressed like a flower, and she is not the messy crazy girl in the morning.
Obviously, she also saw Linglong and the two, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer. Stepping on the lotus step, he walked over slowly, and blessed his body in front of Linglong: "Lingxuan has seen the second sister." ”
Second sister! Linglong looked at her in surprise. Since I first met, how have I ever heard her call her half a sister? Now she calls herself second sister.
Su Lingxuan was very satisfied when she saw Linglong's surprised expression, she turned sideways slightly, and pointed to the two mothers-in-law behind her: "Second sister, these two were specially invited by my grandmother to teach me etiquette." They used to be the grandmothers of the little master in the palace, and today's noble concubines and virtuous concubines have been taught by them. ”
The two grandmothers performed a standard palace ceremony to Linglong. Ling Xuan smiled and said:
"I also want to thank my sister for mentioning it, there is news from the palace. At the end of this year, the palace will post a draft, and all unmarried ladies between the ages of 12 and 16 can directly participate in the election. There is no need to participate in the auditions.
Second sister, I'm ...... Soon will be selected, and you ......"
Su Lingxuan covered her mouth and smiled, pacing slowly around Linglong: "Don't say whether you are engaged or not, even if you are not engaged, firstly, the third uncle's official position is too low and not qualified, and secondly, you are seventeen this year, who wants the daylily to be cold?" The concubine in the Liang Mansion is not disgusted. ”
She walked to the front of Linglong, looked at Linglong's eyes, and said in a smart and cheerful voice: "Second sister, let's see, I will soon realize my dream, second sister's knees are ready?" ”
Linglong stared at her and pursed his lips and smiled: "Sister Lingxuan, don't be too happy, even if you are chosen, you are just a little master without quality, prepare well, wait for you to climb to the concubine position and then read s;." ”
"You ......" Su Lingxuan glared angrily, Linglong nodded at her, and slowly walked towards Tingfeng Courtyard with her.
When he passed the corner, Linglong glanced at it, and just saw Su Lingxuan clenching her fists and glaring at herself, Linglong chuckled: "Gui Ying, you're right." ”
"What? What did you say, Miss? ”
"You're right, it's not a good thing to be reckless, you look at Lingxuan like that, if I am angry like that, I must be very ashamed, and people are still hiding in the dark to watch jokes."
Gui Ying smiled: "Miss, are you saying that you are hiding in the dark to watch Miss Lingxuan's jokes now?" ”
Linglong glanced at her with disgust: "You know I didn't mean that." ”
"Yes, miss, the slave understands."
"When I go back later, don't mention the two maids to my mother, and don't mention meeting Lingxuan."
"Yes, miss."
After arguing with Lingxuan for a few words that day, Linglong honestly stayed in the courtyard for a few days.
Fortunately, Su Lingxuan was busy learning palace rules and etiquette, so she didn't have time to find trouble for herself; Zhu was busy figuring out the draft, so he didn't care about it for the time being; Since the last time the old lady went to the Liang Mansion, she felt very shameless, and she was blamed by the Zhu family and daughter, her mind suddenly faded, and she didn't care much about the things in the yard.
On this day, Linglong shrank in the room and painted all day, her current habit is to start painting every day when she has nothing to do, first, to practice the pen, and secondly, he is more energetic than himself, and he must draw a good painting for Liang Chenyu.
So her room is full of portraits of Liang Chenyu, with half-body, full-body, scenery, all kinds of things, as if she was holding an exhibition.
Whenever someone wants to come in, Zhishu Zhihua and Gui Ying have to scramble to clean up, although Linglong himself doesn't think it, but so many portraits have to be seen by others, and they think that Linglong has something to think of Liang Chenyu.
Don't you just think that normal people will see it this way, right? Even knowing books and paintings is no exception, they have always been suspicious, why is the second son of Liang who is obviously engaged to the young lady, but all the paintings are the eldest sons of the Liang family?
Of course, they can only discuss this matter in private, and Linglong will never dare to talk nonsense in front of them.
Before I knew it, it was late at night, and Zhihua reminded me for the tenth time: "Miss, it's time to sleep!" ”
Linglong put down the paintbrush and let out a long breath, and finally drew a good one! She held up the portrait and looked at it with satisfaction, it was really good, gentle and generous, and her eyes were gentle and very expressive.
Linglong happily called Gui Ying over: "Look, how is it?" ”
Gui Ying was shocked, this one is really good, it is more expressive than the second son's one, this is a full-body portrait, the person on the painting is lifelike, as if he can come out at any time!
Gui Ying clapped her hands and applauded: "Great, Miss, the hard work pays off, anyone who sees this one is satisfied!" ”
Linglong smiled proudly: "Come, help me put it away, and when I color it tomorrow, I will send it to be framed, and then I will personally send it to Brother Liang!" ”
Gui Ying carefully took the portrait scroll and said: "The eldest prince must like it very much, the young lady has a heart!" ”
"He helped me so much, he deserved reads;! Alas~~~ I'm so tired, what time is it? ”
"Miss, it's past time, and people have reminded you many times!" Zhihua muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Alright, okay, go to sleep."
Linglong yawned and washed hastily and returned to the room, she did not have the habit of keeping vigil, and sent a few maids to sleep next door before she went to bed.
She closed the door and window by herself, put the oil lamp on the table, sat on the edge of the bed and fell down with a bang, so tired! It's still more comfortable in bed.
She kicked her shoes with her eyes closed, didn't even take off her clothes, rolled around and wrapped the quilt around her body and fell into a deep sleep.
The room fell silent, except for the sound of her even breathing.
Suddenly, the lamp on the table flickered, and there was an extra shadow in the room.
The shadow was silent in the room for a moment, its bright eyes scanning the surroundings, especially the portraits hanging on the walls outside.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and an anger rose in his heart.
He flashed to the side of the bed silently, looked at Linglong who was sleeping, pulled out from his sleeve and put the dagger on Linglong's face and swiped gently.
The cold touch made Linglong frown slightly, she closed her eyes and brushed away the dagger and muttered: "Gui Ying, don't make trouble!" ”
Gui Ying? The dagger returned to Linglong's face again, and the man in black stared at Linglong with unkind eyes.
Linglong felt uncomfortable on her face, and reached out to remove the thing again, but that thing was annoying and couldn't get rid of it, and after being tossed for a while, she opened her eyes angrily: "Don't make trouble!" ”
But when she shouted this sentence, she regretted it, what happened to the man in black in front of the bed who only showed his two eyes and held a dagger in his hand? Flower thief?
Linglong swallowed saliva and stiffened her whole body, she tried to calm herself, staring at the eyes that were shining in the dark: "You...... Who are you? What do you want to do? Robbery or robbery? ”
The other party's cold eyes flashed slightly, a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes, he suddenly put away the dagger, Linglong jumped out of bed and wanted to run out, but he felt that his back was poked twice, and his body could no longer move.
Linglong opened his mouth and found that his throat couldn't make a sound, damn it! Could it be that it was pointed? Damn, isn't this Su Mansion? Isn't Old Man Su a big official? How can a flower thief come as soon as he comes?
"Miss? Can slaves and maidservants come in? Outside the door, he suddenly remembered Gui Ying's voice, Linglong was overjoyed, great, Gui Ying, you are really my savior! In! Come on in!
She shouted loudly in her heart, but she couldn't make a sound, the black shadow slowly walked in front of her, looking at herself coldly, Linglong was shocked and scared, wasn't it? Is Miss Ben's reputation going to be ruined at the hands of this flower thief?
"Miss? Miss? Gui Ying's voice was a little hurried.
"Miss, if you don't answer, the slave will break the door!"
Break! Hurry up and break! Gui Ying, come in and save me!
The man in black glanced at the door, and suddenly put a sack on Linglong's head, she couldn't see anything, only felt her body rise into the air.
"Miss!" Gui Ying's voice is getting farther and farther away, Linglong really wants to cry, who am I provoking and who am I provoking? What bad luck happened to me? (To be continued)
