Chapter 12: The Boy in White
At noon, a snowy day is not suitable for going out, and the thriving streets of Sheng'an are occasionally walked carefully by people with umbrellas, and the deserted streets are as cold as the winter day now.
But it is such a cold and lonely capital Sheng'an, but there is a popular place, located in the west of Sheng'an's West Street, many restaurants and inns on both sides of the street are very prosperous.
"Did you hear that? The day before yesterday, Ling Yiyi, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and Ling Xuerou, the fifth lady, landed on the lake on the Ice Jubilee Festival, and were finally rescued by King Xian's personal guards. ”
"What did I hear, but I saw it with my own eyes, that Miss Ling and Miss Ling Wu were dancing on the ice, I don't know why, there was a big hole in the ice, and the two of them fell!"
"I also saw it, the eldest lady's sword dance is really ugly, I can't see anyone, and I don't know why she is so thick-skinned, and she actually came out to perform."
"Isn't that because there are five young ladies? That Miss Lingwu's flying dance is not bad, and it is enough to help Miss Ling support a scene. ”
"Why, can it be why, it's not for the handsome second prince!"
"I heard that there was an assassin in the eldest lady's boudoir that night, and he was killed by her maid, but the eldest lady was stabbed with a big hole in her body, and she is still unconscious?"
"There is an assassin breaking in, and I don't know if the eldest lady has been defiled by the thieves!"
"If you want me to say, then Miss Ling deserves it! Who made her so domineering and unreasonable, and the people under her were so arrogant that people wanted to beat her up a few times! ”
"If you have the ability, you can beat it!"
"Don't you dare, those dozens of guards will knock you down with one punch."
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.
That Miss Ling said that it was okay, but it was not okay to provoke, they ordinary people wanted to live a few more comfortable days.
"I heard that Miss Ling has a bad idea for the second prince, not only often haunts the second prince, but also shamelessly beats and scolds or drives away the women who appear next to the second prince, and the face of the auxiliary general's mansion is really lost!"
"You guys better don't talk about it, if Miss Ling knows about it, and she doesn't give you a good meal, she is not a master to mess with!"
The discussion in the restaurant was very small, but it was enough for everyone to hear, or in other words, almost everyone in the restaurant was talking about this Miss Ling, and the evaluation of Miss Ling was also very bad.
"That's it, this Miss Ling is deeply favored by Old General Ling and General Ling Feng, even Old Madam Ling turns a blind eye to what she does, and the dozens of guards around her are not easy to mess with!"
Even if the ice and snow covered the entire Sheng'an, and the weather was so cold that people didn't want to go out, it still couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for gossip, as well as their disgust for Ling Yiyi.
In a room on the second floor of the restaurant, a maid dressed in light blue stood by the slightly open window, looking at the people downstairs who were talking.
"Miss, this Ling Yiyi's reputation is too stinky, how dare you think of the second prince?"
Another maid in a light blue dress turned her head, looked into the room with a smile, and complimented, "Isn't it?" That Ling Yiyi is a toad who wants to eat swan meat, how could the second prince like a disgusting woman like her, the second prince's favorite is of course my young lady! ”
There was obvious flattery and schadenfreude in his tone.
"That's right! The second prince and the young lady are childhood sweethearts who have no guesses, so Ling Yiyi is a vulgar person, how can she get into the eyes of the second prince! ”
A gentle scolding came from the room, "Presumptuous! Are these words the words of you two lowly maids in vain, and when they are heard, will you not speak? My master connived at the slave and the maid to control the subordinates! ”
Du Dan, who is as weak as a winter day, is pitiful, like a breeze that brings soft warmth.
The voices of these people are very familiar, isn't it exactly, on the day of the Ice Frolic Festival, the girl in white who watched the game on the high platform and left last, and the two maidservants who slapped themselves beside her?
The two maids in front of the window leaned over in unison to plead guilty, and there was not much sincerity in their words, and they were perfunctory when they heard it. "The slave is guilty! Please punish the lady! ”
The gentle voice sounded again, soft and pitiful. "In the future, when you talk and do things, you should keep your eyes bright, what to say and what not to say, you must know in your heart!"
"No!" The two maidservants got up and walked into the house, where they were no longer visible from the window.
The discussion in the restaurant is still continuing, all talking about Miss Ling.
"Afraid of what? That Miss Ling is a rude and violent woman, arrogant and domineering, and disrespectful to her elders! We can't say enough! At the feet of this god, freedom of speech, I don't believe she can really kill us all! ”
"That's it, it's ......"
"I really don't know, why does General Ling Feng like this daughter and spoil her like a jewel, this Miss Ling deserves General Ling Feng's favor."
"That's it, Miss Ling's reputation is really ......."
The window on the side of the first floor was suddenly opened, and the cold wind blew in through the open window, colliding with the heat emitted by the stove in the restaurant.
Located by the window on the first floor, by the small open window, a small square table is placed with a few exquisite side dishes, two pairs of chopsticks, two wine glasses, and a pot of warm wine.
The glass full of fine wine exudes a faint aroma of wine, the fragrance is pure with a little osmanthus fragrance, filling the entire box, making people want to drink two cups when they smell the fragrance, it must be a good wine.
A handsome-looking young man in Tsing Yi slapped the square table, "Little ...... Young Master, these people are so hateful, how can they not understand why, just slandering Miss Ling like this, it is simply hateful! Let the little ones teach them a lesson! ”
After that, he put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, stood up from the round stool with a bang, and the round stool behind him made a loud sound.
The guests who were discussing downstairs heard the sound of slapping the table, and all of them kept looking at the place where the sound came from, and the movements stopped, the drinkers stopped drinking, the cups were taken by the cups, and the dishes were not eaten to their mouths, and their puzzled eyes all became amazing!
"Sit down!"
A voice as cold as a pearl and jade sounded, like a cold wind in the clear moon, blowing through the heart, so cold that it penetrated people's hearts, directly stopping the young man in Tsing Yi from taking steps.
I saw that in front of the small square table by the window, a young man in Tsing Yi who looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old was standing at the table, holding a sword in his left hand, and his right hand was clenched into a fist.
Opposite the young man in Tsing Yi, another young man in white lowered his eyes, a strand of hair on his forehead flew with the cold wind that penetrated in, his slender hand like jade played with the wine glass in his hand, and the other jade hand supported his forehead like a boneless, his elbow against the window tower, and the whole person sat on the round stool by the window.
The young man in white has skin like a jade sword and eyebrows lightly, looks twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a snow-white Shu brocade embroidered green bamboo robe, a precious jade pendant hanging under the belt of jade ink clouds, long black hair is tied by a silk ribbon, draped behind him at will, and the big red fox fur collar cloak looks even more pure and enchanting!
His appearance is not stunning, at most he can only be regarded as beautiful and childish, but he exudes a temperament that is not what he should have at this age.
Lazy and casual, quiet and indifferent, elegant with elegant, fairy-like cold with demonic spirit, people can't help but be deeply attracted to him.
Especially those clear and innocent eyes, like jewels, dazzling, as if amorous and ruthless, people can't help but fall into it.
The young man in white waved his long sleeves, rudely drank the wine in the cup, and swept everyone with displeased eyes. "Look at it, I haven't seen a beautiful man!"
The young man opened his mouth, and the whole fairy spirit was completely dispersed, only cuteness remained, and the guests in the restaurant almost fell, and this image was subverted too quickly.
The restaurant resumed the lively situation just now, and continued to talk about the eldest lady of the Ling family, and after a few breaths, everyone came back to their senses, they were choked by the young man.
"How does the boy speak? Just like you, if you don't have any hair, you can be called a beautiful man! Someone was not convinced, and stood up with a slap on the table.
The young man in Tsing Yi stood up again with his eyes crossed, and instantly drew the sword on his waist, pointing at the man who had just spoken. "Presumptuous!"
The anger of the young man in Tsing Yi suddenly emanated, and a thick murderous aura shot towards the man in front of him. Just as the man said one more word, the sword in his hand would pierce the man's heart without hesitation.
"Ah, draw your sword!"
"What's going on?"
The windows of the upstairs box are open! The figure is shaking! "Have fun."
The man who spoke just now was pale, stared at the young man in Tsing Yi with fear, stammered and took two steps back, and held the table behind him with his hands very scared.
"You, you...... What do you want? ”
"It's going to kill someone!"
"It's going to be a good show again!" There's everything in the restaurant.
"Gentleman...... The gentleman speaks...... Don't do it! ”
"Hah...... Haha, hahaha......" A few clear chuckles came from behind the young man in Tsing Yi.
As pure and clear as spring water, happy and light with childishness, deeply attracted.
