Chapter Twenty-Six: Bumping into Each Other
When the two of them walked to the bottom of the mountain, they found themselves in a remote mountain col, with a large area of wild grass and trees in front of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiang Qingliu walked in front of Wang Jian to clean the sharp thatch and thorn wood on both sides for her, and gradually walked to the open place, and he could already hear people's voices. It turns out that not far in front is the famous Wuting Bridge of Slender West Lake, with beautiful scenery and many tourists. They marched into the woods on the shore of the lake, blended quietly into the crowd, and followed the flow of people onto the bridge.
At this time, it is one of the most beautiful seasons of the landscape of Wuting Bridge, the five upright and beautiful wind pavilions are like five lotus flowers rising out of the water, yellow tile pillars, with white railings, painted caisson wells in the pavilion, magnificent. Even though Wang has been here several times, she is still attracted by its distinctive design. She and Jiang Qingliu stopped in the pavilion for a while, watched it, and then got off the bridge.
"It's better to walk here to Jiuqu Hutong for a while, why don't I rent a carriage and come over." Jiangqing Channel.
Wang Jin nodded and said, "Well, then there will be Gongzi Lao Jiang."
Jiang Qingliu smiled slightly, and walked towards a place where carriages gathered in front of him.
Wang Jian stood on the side of the road waiting for him, looking at the crowd in a daze, and suddenly heard a voice full of surprise shouting: "Miss Wang! ”
Qin Ziming walked to Wang Jin's side in a few steps, looked her up and down, and said in surprise: "Miss Wang, why are you here, you have been out for so long, nothing happened, right?" ”
Wang Jin heard Jiang Qingliu say that Qin Ziming was very anxious to find her, and he had to take care of his two younger brothers, so he was also very grateful to him. She said apologetically: "I'm fine, it's just that I didn't make it clear when I was in a hurry, but it made Brother Qin so worried, I really didn't want to go." ”
"Hey, you're fine. By the way, my son-in-law should have sent a lot of people out to look for the girl, have you ever met the girl? Qin Ziming asked.
"Really? Jiang Gongzi also sent others out to look for me? "Wang Jinqi said, then why did he come out in person?" But I met your son-in-law, who's renting a carriage there! ”
"Huh? Is it you who Childe found? Qin Ziming said in surprise, looked in the direction of Wang Jin's finger, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Qingliu talking to a few coachmen. He muttered to himself: Why did Childe run out to find Miss Wang by himself?
He was talking to Wang Hibiscus here, and in a delicate carriage not far away, a maid was paying attention to his every move.
"Miss, it seems that Brother Qin has met an acquaintance and is talking on the side of the road!" The maid said to Chen Huilan, who was sitting on the side.
"Oh? Didn't he say that he had just arrived in Yangzhou, so he had acquaintances? Chen Huilan said with a slight sarcasm: "You can see clearly, is that person the son of the restaurant that day?" ”
The maid took another closer look, and said affirmatively: "No, that person looks even younger, and his appearance is not right." ”
Chen Huilan yanked the handkerchief in his hand when he heard this, and said hatefully: "This guy just gave me a banquet today, but he didn't tell the truth in his mouth, and he kept playing sloppy with me, and he didn't even say anything about his son's surname!" Hmph, Xiaolian, you ask the coachman to follow him for me, I want to see how long he can hide it! ”
Xiaolian responded, lifted the curtain of the car, and was about to tell the coachman a few words, but just when she saw Jiang Qingliu walking in front, she was surprised and happy, and hurriedly returned to the carriage and said to Chen Huilan excitedly: "Miss, I saw him, he is here!" ”
Chen Huilan frowned, she just wanted to scold her for talking so cluelessly, who did she see, she reacted again, and said in surprise: "Really, where is it?" Quick, take me there! ”
Xiaolian opened the curtain again and took a look, and said to Chen Huilan: "He is with that little brother Qin, just in front!" ”
Chen Huilan also lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, and sure enough, she saw the person she wanted to see, she turned her head to Xiaolian and said, "Let's go, let's get out of the car." If the boy doesn't come to see me, I'll go and see him myself. So saying, he put on his hat and got out of the carriage.
Xiaolian followed behind her, but she was very puzzled in her heart, "What is the origin of this son, with the identity of a young lady, he still has to be so condescending to be able to see it?" ”
Jiang Qingliu immediately turned around to find Wang Jin, but saw that Qin Ziming was also there. He briefly described the process of finding Wang Jin, and hid many key parts, only saying that he met in Tingfeng Tower. Qin Ziming naturally had no doubts about his words, and only said in a clever voice, and Wang Jin on the side was not only weak-hearted, but also grateful for Jiang Qingliu's understanding. After they talked for a while, Jiang Qingliu said: "It's not too early, it's not too late to go back if you have anything to say, Miss Wang, the carriage is rented, let's get on the car." ”
Wang Jin nodded in agreement, and was about to leave with him, but he heard a soft voice say: "It's a coincidence today, I didn't expect to meet Brother Qin here again." ”
The three of them followed the prestige, and saw a girl wearing a Hunan concubine Seluo skirt and a white gauze hat standing aside, talking to Qin Ziming, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid beside her. When the girl saw the three of them turn around, as if she had just discovered these two, she waved her hands and feet a little crampedly, paused and continued: "Are these two friends of Brother Qin?" Hey, isn't this the son of Brother Qin's family? I didn't expect to see you again. Haven't asked your son's surname yet? ”
"Under the surname Jiang."
"Jiang Gongzi." Chen Huilan blessed Jiang Qingliu slightly, and said. He then faced Wang Jian and asked, "Then this is...?" "I wondered how this little brother was born with such white skin and red lips, like a woman?
Qin Ziming reacted at this time, and hurriedly introduced: "This is Junior Brother Wang, a friend I made when my son and I first came to Yangzhou. ”
When Wang Jin heard him introduce him like this, he also cooperated with Chen Huilan and said, "Hello girl, under Wang Jin (Jing)." "Hehe, pretending to be a man is my forte!
Chen Huilan saw that she was generous and her voice was not as small as a woman, and she only thought that he was just a boy and a girl, so she also blessed him, and heard Qin Ziming on the side wondering: "Why is Miss Chen here, when I went out, I saw that your carriage was going east." ”
She snorted coldly in her heart, but said with a smile in her voice: "I was going to go back to the house after I came out of the Guanyu Pavilion, but I heard my maid mention that I hadn't come to Wuting Bridge for a long time to see, and on a whim, I urged the horseman to come over, but I didn't expect to run into it again by such a coincidence." ”
Qin Ziming heard this, and said with a dry smile: "Haha, it's really fate, fate!" ”
Chen Huilan turned her head to look at Jiang Qingliu, and asked softly, "Jiang Gongzi also came to Wuting Bridge to enjoy the scenery today?" ”
"Exactly, today, Brother Wang is the guide, taking me to see the beautiful scenery of this Slender West Lake. But we're getting ready to go back now, and I'm afraid we won't be able to talk to the girl. Jiang Qingliu had a polite smile on his face, his tone was gentle but actually alienated, and he was about to leave.
Chen Huilan was bitter in her heart. She took such pains to see him, and the first thing he said was to drive people away. She looked at Jiang Qingliu fixedly, and saw that he was only wearing a plain robe today, without half of the air of wealth and nobility, but he still exuded an indescribable elegance and arrogance, and his demeanor was dignified. The fire surging in her heart was extinguished little by little, and there was only an indescribable tender affection, like a deer crashing. She was unwilling to leave, but she couldn't think of any good way for a while, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious. At this moment, the maid Xiaolian, who was standing behind her, secretly pulled her sleeve and said in a very low voice: "Miss, that little brother Wang seems to be a woman!" ”
Chen Huilan's heart moved, and she looked at a few places on Wang Jin's body through the cover of the hood, and then believed Xiaolian's words. It's not that there are no boys and girls, but there are very few who have pierced ears. Her eyes flashed slightly, looking at Wang Jin's eyes with a little scrutiny, and the more she looked at it, the more sour she became. What Brother Wang, he is clearly a delicate girl! He didn't come to the banquet today, just to accompany this girl to visit Slender West Lake?! The anger and vinegar in her heart rolled together, and the jade hand under the wide sleeves was clenched tightly, and it was easy to suppress this emotion, and she tried to make her tone sound gentle: "Even so, I don't want to delay Childe, but how is Childe going to go back, I see that you didn't come by car." ”
"I've already rented the carriage, thank you girl for your concern." Jiang Qingliu said, but he was faintly unhappy in his heart. He noticed that Miss Chen had been staring at Wang Jian just now, although it was not obvious, he didn't like her behavior very much, so his tone became more and more light.
Chen Huilan chuckled and said, "I'm afraid a carriage is not enough, after all, there is a difference between men and women." But I'm afraid I won't be able to rent another carriage, so Miss Wang might as well take my car. ”
Everyone was very surprised when they heard her reveal Wang Jin's identity, but Jiang Qingliu's expression changed from cold to gentle, and Qin Ziming on the side was terrified. Amitabha, the more angry the childe is, the gentler his face becomes, and if he still laughs, it will be over! This Miss Chen can be regarded as completely offending the son.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to be seen through by you, Miss. It's just that Miss Chen and we are not on the same path, so why bother you to take a long detour to give us a ride? Wang Jin said with a smile, and deliberately said that he was going to take a long detour and make a special trip. When she heard Chen Huilan expose her daughter's identity, she suddenly remembered that her face had already been washed, and she couldn't help but scold herself for being careless. But she also heard that Chen Huilan's words seemed to be interesting and implied hostility, so she lost her affection for this Miss Chen. Jiang Qingliu and Qin Ziming are a man of light and moon, it's not good to say anything to you, I'm not afraid, who wouldn't have thorns in his words?
Chen Huilan didn't seem to understand the irony in her words, and still said with a smile: "My family lives in the city, and the distance from the east is actually about the same as walking from the south. There is a fate to meet today, and it is also appropriate to give the girl a ride. ”
Wang Jin saw that her words were reasonable and extremely generous, and I didn't know if I should praise her for being thick-skinned.
Jiang Qingliu, who was on the side, said: "In this case, I will bother Miss Chen to send this trip." Then he turned to Wang Jian and said, "Miss Wang, you and Miss Chen should take a carriage." "When he just went to rent a car, he found that there were indeed a lot of people today, and he still asked around to find the one he rented. Besides, Wang Hibiscus was found out, and it was really inappropriate to sit in a carriage with him again. Since Miss Chen is so enthusiastic, he wants to see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd!
Although Wang Jin was slightly puzzled in her heart, she also believed that Jiang Qingliu would not harm her, so she nodded and agreed.
"Then Miss Wang come with me, Brother Qin, please lead the way in front." Chen Huilan took Wang Jin to his carriage, Jiang Qingliu also got into the carriage, and Qin Ziming took the coachman to Jiuqu Hu at the front.
