Chapter Eighty-Seven: Suspicion
This Tingzhuxuan has an excellent view, and sitting by the window, you can take in the scene in front of the Dingxiang Building and on the street.
King Yan's gaze fell somewhere, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
Only the guards standing beside King Yan saw what King Yan was looking at.
A coachman was driving the carriage to turn around, and a group of women wearing hoods and making difficult faces were getting into the carriage. King Yan's gaze clearly fell on the girl in the azure dress.
If you can't see the face, just look at the slender and moving back, you can guess that this is a rare beauty.
It seems that this is the Miss Ling Jiu that Grandpa Xi said.
That Miss Ling Jiu was quite keen, as if she noticed that someone was staring at her figure, and quickly turned her head to look over. Through a layer of light veil, it touched the gaze of King Yan from afar.
His Royal Highness King Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Miss Ling Jiu didn't react, and quickly turned around and got into the carriage.
Then, the Ling family's carriage did not stop for a moment, and soon set off to leave.
Miss Ling Jiu, who is stubborn and stubborn, intelligent and quick-witted
King Yan's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of an inexplicable smile crossed the corners of his lips.
Gonggong Xi noticed that King Yan was distracted, not only did he not panic, but secretly became happy. It seems that King Yan just planned to punish him a little, and did not make up his mind to take his life.
"The slave is loyal to the Lord, and I also ask His Royal Highness to spare the slave's cheap life, and allow the slave to be an errand in the future to repay the master's kindness!"
Father-in-law Xi's crying showed his loyalty and was quite emotional.
King Yan tugged at the corners of his lips: "It's a pity that you became a waiter, it's a pity that you have your talent, if you go to the pear orchard to be a play, you will already become famous and famous." ”
There was a joking tone in it.
In other words, the deception just now is in the past.
My father-in-law was overjoyed. Squeezed out a flattering smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment." However, the slave has to serve His Highness all his life, and this pear orchard can't go. ”
King Yan frowned in disgust: "Go and wash the blood and tears on your face and come back again, it's really embarrassing to watch." ”
Father-in-law Xi responded in a row, and hurriedly got up and retreated.
After Father-in-law Xi left, King Yan instructed the guards around him: "Li Jun, order someone to check Ling Zhiyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works." Find out all the people in his house. ”
Especially this Miss Ling Jiu.
This last sentence. It doesn't have to be spoken. Li Jun naturally understood and immediately received the order: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
Ling Jingshu sat in the carriage with a calm expression. In his heart, he secretly recalled the glimpse before the carriage.
A quick glance, and against the light, I didn't really see it.
However, she knew it clearly. The person sitting by the window watching her was King Yan.
She was under house arrest in the Lu family in her previous life, and she had a vague impression of what was going on outside. I only know that the person who finally sat on the throne was King Yan. I don't know anything about King Yan's temperament.
This meeting was just a short time, and a few words were spoken. Based on these, only the most superficial and superficial impression can be drawn. This Yan King's way of acting. Quite willful and uninhibited. It is completely different from the imperial grandson who always has a cold face and is moody.
The true face and temperament of King Yan are unknown.
There was silence all the way, and when I returned to Ling's house. It's already Shen Shizheng.
Everyone went to see Sun first.
Sun was a little surprised when he saw that everyone's interest was not high. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you guys?" After going out to play for most of the day, why didn't I be happy, but came back one by one with a drooping face. Is something wrong? ”
"Nothing." Everyone replied in unison.
The answer was too neat and consistent.
It's like a negotiator
Sun had doubts in his heart, and he didn't look at Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu's sisters and brothers, but only asked Jiang: "Yu Niang, is there really nothing going on today?" ”
Forced to ask by his mother-in-law like this, Jiang Shi was quite calm, and replied with a smile: "We went to the Huichun Hall first, and the name card has been given to the steward, and the name of Cousin Xiao has also been recorded." Wait until the morning of the fifteenth day, and you can see Dr. Wei if you go over early. Later, I went to Dingxiang Building for lunch. ”
"Ding Xiang Lou is famous and prosperous, and there is only one private room left today. After we entered the private room, the guests who had been booked for the private room came again. Therefore, there were a few quarrels and a sulk. Fortunately, the empty private room was vacated later, and we came back after dinner. ”
"It's just a trivial matter, but I'm a little depressed, so I'm not very interested. It made my mother-in-law worried. ”
It's not half a lie, but it cleverly avoids all the main points. In the future, if the matter is exposed, the Jiang family will not fall into the handle of deceiving the elders.
Words and deeds are really thoughtful and detailed.
Ling Jingshu couldn't help but secretly admire the Jiang family.
Sun really became suspicious, and said with a smile: "That's it, it's just a little thing, don't take it to heart." You're tired after running around for a long time, so go back and rest first. I'll have you called you at dinnertime. ”
Since leaving Dingxiang Building, Ling Jingyan has not spoken again, nor has she looked at Ling Jingshu again.
Living in the same Luoxia Temple, it is inevitable to go all the way.
Ling Jingyan lowered her head in a daze, and never spoke to Ling Jingshu all the way.
Ling Jingshu didn't step forward to be bored, and took Ling Xiao's hand and walked forward slowly. I thought in my heart, when Ling Jingyan's anger is over, I will talk to her and coax her
Just thinking about it, Ling Jingyan, who had already stepped into Luoxia Courtyard, suddenly turned around with a stiff face: "Cousin Shu, you come with me." I have something to say to you. ”
Ashu, who was originally intimate, has become Shu's cousin again.
The tone is also tense, completely devoid of the usual playfulness and liveliness.
Ling Jingshu sighed secretly in her heart, but the smile on her face was as usual: "Okay, I'll send Ah Xiao back to the room first and then come to you." ”
After sending Ling Xiao back to the bedroom, Ling Xiao grabbed Ling Jingshu's sleeve and didn't let her go: "Ashu, listening to Cousin Yan's tone, it seems that she is making trouble. Don't go, lest you quarrel with her. ”
"We are now living in the uncle's house again, you and Cousin Yan have a conflict, no matter who is right or wrong, the aunt and uncle must protect Cousin Yan. It's always you who suffers when the time comes. ”
Looking at Ling Xiao's serious and worried face, Ling Jingshu's heart warmed: "Ah Xiao, your worries are not unreasonable. However, since you know Cousin Yan's temperament, you should know that I have to explain the misunderstanding even more. Otherwise, if the two of them leave this pimple in their hearts, it will be even worse in the future. Besides, we don't know how long we're going to live in the capital, and we can't hide from her all the time! ”
Ling Xiao was silent for a moment before reluctantly letting go: "I always can't talk about you." ”
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, patted Ling Xiao's shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." (To be continued.) )
