And the two sisters, Gao Yiyao and Gao Yiyan, were also by her side, not knowing what they were relieved of.

The distance was a little far away, Xie Ning didn't have the heart to listen carefully, and there was only a faint whisper in his ears that "Cousin Xie has a bad temper" and "take care of me", and with a sneer in his heart, he lowered the curtain and turned to Wei Qingcheng and said, "It's okay, don't worry about them." Let's go ours. ”

"Hmm," Wei Tingcheng nodded slightly, and at the same time, the groom in the car also drove away. In the sound of wheels, I heard Wei Xiaomei say: "Sister Xie, I'm a little nervous today. ”

Xie Ning didn't know why she was nervous, and sighed in her heart, and the picture she saw in the Peony Pavilion that day resurfaced in front of her. Regarding Xiao Yan, she failed to ask the question in her heart, not because the other party was unwilling to cooperate, but because of various reasons, she missed it by mistake. Now I have no choice but to act at the opportunity, and take one step at a time.

After all, although Xiao Yan is romantic, he is also a straightforward person. If he has something else in his heart, it is that Wei Tingcheng is valued by Mrs. Xiao, and this family business may be difficult to achieve.

Xie Ning shook Wei Chengcheng's little hand, his face did not show any worry, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, I will accompany you today." ”

Wei Xiaomei didn't know that Xie Ning's companionship was under the guise of supervision, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up and said, "Then it's decided." ”

After doing this all the way, when Xie Ning and the others arrived at the Xiao Mansion, they were already in front of them. The carriages and horses were all parked on both sides, and the people who walked out of them were all young women of good age.

As far as the eye can see, it is full of purple and red. It's so impressing.

"Sister Ning, Sister Wei."

A female voice came from behind him, Xie Ning turned his head and saw Gu Qingyun's figure coming slowly. She wore a long red gauze skirt today, with a green silk hair also pulled into a delicate flowing cloud bun, a beaded hairpin in her hair, and a smoke-colored shawl between her arms, her outfit was as eye-catching as ever, and naturally attracted the attention of many women present.

On the other hand, Xie Ning and Wei Chengcheng were eclipsed by her in an instant.

It's the same cardamom age. Gu Qingyun, who was a little older, already had exquisite curves on her body. And Shainin is just a yellow-haired girl. The dress is also very ordinary, a crescent white shirt, and a water-green skirt, and there is nothing else.

After greeting her separately. The three of them didn't stop in front of Shangshu Mansion for long. Under the attendant of the Xiao family, he entered the inner courtyard.

The place where the banquet was held. It is a small building located in the southwest of Shangshu Mansion. This building is more than four zhang high, there are three floors up and down, vermilion lacquer tiles. It's exquisite. Xie Ning raised his eyes and looked, but saw a plaque hanging at the entrance, with three strong and powerful characters written on it: Lanyue Building.

The name of this building is elegant, but the handwriting on the plaque is too domineering, which makes people feel disobedient. If this font is a little elegant, it is perfect. ”

Gu Qingyun was also looking up at the plaque, and Xie Ning was about to echo it, when she saw her retract her gaze and said, "I am afraid that the only thing that can match this Lanyue Tower is the words of His Royal Highness King An." ”

Rao is Xie Ning doesn't know how to appreciate and evaluate, and he can see at a glance that Qin Feng's handwriting is indeed excellent, otherwise she wouldn't copy the other party's font afterwards. But Gu Qingyun's praise, Xie Ning only felt weird when he heard it.

I still remember the last time we met, the woman in front of me was still sad because of Qin Feng's refusal, and she used wine to dispel her sorrows. Now mentioning the other party's name so directly, isn't it already relieved to let go?

Xie Ning thought for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, Wei Qingcheng had already taken the opportunity to answer: "Since Sister Gu said this, presumably His Royal Highness King An's words must be very elegant?" ”

"I'm just lucky enough to see it once," Gu Qingyun blinked, and her eyes turned to Xie Ning, who was silent on the side, and asked with a smile: "But Sister Ning has accompanied His Highness to train soldiers, presumably what His Highness's handwriting is, you should know it very well, right?" ”

When Xie Ning heard this, he couldn't help but skip a beat, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. She shook her head slightly, trying to throw the uncomfortable feeling elsewhere. Only then did he reply: "Sister Gu, don't laugh with me." Xie Ning has no ink on his chest, and he doesn't know a few big characters, where can he tell the quality of His Royal Highness King An's font? ”

It's not that she deliberately concealed it, but she was in Xiao Mansion at the moment, surrounded by either the maidservants who were with her, or the ladies who came to the banquet. Gu Qingyun could not shy away from mentioning this matter in front of others, but Xie Ning, a person who had a marriage contract, was not easy to comment on Qin Feng's handwriting, so he could only shake a shot and respond with self-deprecation.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, the group of young ladies and maids around her, who were originally waiting for a response with their ears pricked up, suddenly lost their interest, glanced at Xie Ning with disdain, and walked past her.

Gu Qingyun didn't expect her to answer like this, and the face of Furong, who had always been smiling, also showed a little embarrassed, "Sister Ning......"

Unexpectedly, she was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by a shouting call from behind her - "Qingyun! ”

This female voice is very familiar, and Xie Ning doesn't even have to look back to recognize the identity of this person. Of course, she didn't look back.

"Qingyun," Gao Yiyan's voice came again, this time the other party had already walked to their side, Xie Ning glanced at the corner of his eye, and saw two figures, one blue and one purple, from the afterglow. Raising his eyebrows, he subconsciously took a step back.

Wei Chengcheng also retreated with her appearance, and the two stood together again.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyun's face couldn't help but become even more embarrassed, and she glanced at Xie Ning with a hesitant expression, before she was about to speak, the words came to her mouth, but she wanted to speak and stopped.

In Xie Ning's impression, this was the first time he had seen Gu Qingyun so embarrassed. Seeing that everyone was in a stalemate here, she met Gu Qingyun's gaze and took the initiative to say calmly: "Sister Gu, I went first with Allure." You talk slowly. ”

The disagreement between Xie Ning and the Gao sisters is now known to all Beijing. Gu Qingyun looked at Gao Yiyan, who was holding her arm beside her with a happy expression, so she had to nod at Xie Ning and said with a smile: "That's good." I'll have a few words with Yiyan first, and then I'll go in and find you later. ”

"Hmm." Seeing that the stalemate between the few of them was about to reach the door of the Moon Tower, Xie Ning had no intention of staying too long. Nodding to the Gao sisters, he pulled Wei Chengcheng and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, there was the sound of zhengle music pouring out like flowing water, Xie Ning looked left and right, and deliberately chose a square table not far from the first case, but the location was extremely remote, and sat down. Because of the sound of this music, he was unaware of the movement outside the building.

"Qingyun, what you said in the letter-" I don't know if it was because she was too excited, Gao Yiyan's voice suddenly raised very high, attracting sideways glances from others for a while. Even Gu Qingyun. There was also a look of displeasure on his face. Pulling his arm out of the other person's side, he walked to no one's place with his negative hand.

Gao Yiyan looked panicked, and hurriedly followed Gao Yiyao over, this time she finally learned to be obedient. He lowered his voice and said, "Qingyun." Your letter is vague. We met today. Tell us why we're here, right? ”

Gu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and her gaze swept over the two sisters in front of her. He said lightly: "I have something to ask you to help." ”

After a pause, she turned her head to look at Gao Yiyan and said coldly: "What you said earlier is right, it is indeed possible that King An is interested in Xie Ning. ”

"Huh?" Gao Yiyan was stunned for a moment, her expression froze, and she said, "Impossible...... I did think that there was something special between His Highness and Shainin. But now...... Qingyun, are you mistaken? Didn't you also tell me that His Highness has a very high eye, and he won't like a vulgar woman like Xie Ning? ”

When Gu Qingyun heard this, her face became colder and colder. didn't smile at all, but looked more arrogant and cold than Gao Yiyao on the side, "I just said maybe." His Royal Highness already has a favorite person, but he has always lived in a simple place, and he has not seen many women except for a few of us. What's more, his attitude towards me has only started in the past few months. Presumably the person he likes, except for Xie Ning, is only Wei Chengcheng. ”

"One or two are not good things," Gao Yiyan cursed with disdain, and turned to look at Gu Qingyun with a concerned expression: "In this case, what are you going to let us do?" ”

"It shouldn't be Xie Ning, she is now married to Wei Qingyang." But it was Gao Yiyao who suddenly said loudly.

"Oh, sister......" Although she lowered her voice, the helplessness in Gao Yiyan's voice was still very clear.

Gu Qingyun heard the news for the first time, and her expressionless face finally showed a hint of interest, "She and Wei Qingyang are married?" The person Her Highness likes may not be her...... However, there are no absolutes in everything, so let's try it out and be more secure. ”

"What's more," Gu Qingyun suddenly cast a glance at Gao Yiyao, and said pointedly: "It is so easy to hand over the family affairs of the Wei State Mansion to others." Yiyao, are you really willing? ”

"What if you are unwilling," as soon as this stubble was mentioned, Gao Yiyan was so angry that she didn't fight anywhere, "Qingyun, don't you know my sister, you can just play prestige with me." For Shaining, an outsider, he has always respected each other like a guest. In addition to listening to my mother's instructions and leaving her alone, what else has she done besides letting her get acquainted with two highnesses? ”

Gao Yiyao glanced at her, with a straight face, but did not speak.

"You don't have to be anxious," Gu Qingyun suddenly hooked her lips and smiled, "Your sister has always acted steadily, so she naturally knows this." Let's give it a try, if Wei Tingcheng is His Royal Highness's favorite person, I will help you take back the family affairs of the Wei State Mansion, how about it? ”

***

Xiao Mansion's banquet this time was really direct. As soon as everyone came, the meal was served on the table, and before Xie Ning could use a few bites, Mrs. Xiao, who was sitting at the top, slowly raised her voice, "I, I am usually a person who likes to be lively." Thanks to the ladies today, you don't have to be restrained, just play with each other in the past. If any of you young girls are willing to show off their talents, it will be more to my liking. Even though it's to accompany me to relieve my boredom, I, an elder, won't look at it in vain, and add some gadgets to it as a lottery head. ”

Although this Mrs. Xiao claims to be an elder, she is not very old-fashioned in terms of her face. If you change the woman's bun on her head, I'm afraid that Xie Ning will definitely think that she is a young lady from a certain family. It can be seen that she talks with a good attitude, and she seems to be not much older than her second aunt He.

What surprised Xie Ning even more was that the pair of peach blossom eyes on her face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, were ten out of ten like Xiao Yan. A few days ago, when he saw Xiao Shangshu in the city tower, Xie Ning saw the similarity in the appearance of the father and son. At that time, she was already impressed, and now that she saw this Mrs. Xiao, she couldn't help but be even more surprised.

However, Qin Feng once told her that this Mrs. Xiao was not Xiao's mother. Presumably, the similarity of the eyes of the two is just a coincidence.

Xie Ning's thoughts were staggering, but someone at the table had already responded, and said in a hearty voice: "Madam, the little girl Yiyan will come first to offer ugliness." ”

"Okay."

Mrs. Xiao smiled and stroked her palm, but Xie Ning couldn't help frowning, and her eyes were cast in the direction of Gao Yiyan, secretly suspicious.

Although Gao Yiyan is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she does not have much talent for her studies. In terms of her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is not much worse than her ignorance, but it is just an embroidered pillow. Now it's a bit unbelievable that he actually appeared first.

"Sister Yan's trip was not my intention," as if seeing the doubts in her heart, Gu Qingyun, who was sitting at the same table with them, took the initiative to lean over to Xie Ning and explained in a low voice: "She stepped forward at this moment, not to take the lead. I just wanted to end it earlier and deal with it. ”

In this way, with Gao Yiyan's level, even if she leaves an impression on Mrs. Xiao, I am afraid that it is not a good impression. Xie Ning nodded clearly, and his eyes turned to the middle of the field, but when he saw Gao Yiyan whispering a few words to the maid on the side, the latter nodded and hurriedly retreated.

"By the way, what talent do you have to show?" Gu Qingyun still maintained a sideways posture and asked aloud at Xie Ning and Wei Tingcheng.

Mo said that Xie Ning already had a marriage contract, but if she didn't, she wouldn't have any plans to come forward to offer her ugliness, and when she saw Gu Qingyun asking, she only smiled and said, "I'm just here to see the excitement, so I won't go." ”

Gu Qingyun nodded, and turned to look at Wei Qingcheng, "What about Sister Wei?" Are you also here to see the excitement? ”

"No...... No. Wei Qingcheng blushed and said loudly.

Gu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and the smile on her face became more and more full, and she said with a smile: "That's great." I'm interested in stepping forward, too. Allure, would you like to join me? ”

Wei Qingcheng didn't want her to ask such a question, his expression was a little stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately looked at Xie Ning hesitantly.

Taking all her demeanor and movements into her eyes, Gu Qingyun suddenly showed a little understanding, and said with a smile: "Yiyan just wants to throw bricks and attract jade, she doesn't mean this, and naturally she won't bring any surprises later." (To be continued.) )
