Chapter 169: The Beginning of the Hundred Flowers Feast
The necklace that Qin Yu gave with a smile was still only ninety-eight pearls recovered in the end, and one was missing. This undoubtedly made Qin Yuxiao's mood very bad, and a bad feeling always made him haunted and difficult to feel at ease.
"It's really okay, isn't it just one missing, you look at this chain I've re-strung it, it's not that there is not much difference, if you really care so much, it's a big deal that you will have time in the future, and then find another one to make up, there is no need to worry about this little thing, it's not worth it."
Qin Yu smiled and nodded, now it can only be like this.
If he needed to be comforted all the time, then he would really be a little too embarrassed, and he might even leave a bad impression in Shen Zhuru's heart, which was not what Qin Yuxiao wanted.
However, this matter undoubtedly ended up being the unlucky person Hua Yingyue, just because of her pull, Qin Yuxiao recognized her jealousy, and determined that she did it on purpose, and did not want his marriage to go smoothly.
This is a curse of the red fruit, although it is a bit far-fetched, but I have to say that sometimes when a man is cranky, he can think more than you think.
Hua Yingyue was in her own room, seeing that she had sent someone over to invite Qin Yu to laugh, and wanted to explain to her face that she really didn't mean to, but she was just curious, so she accidentally used too much force and broke the rope of the necklace.
In fact, she didn't expect that this chain could be so unexplained, and it would break at the slightest touch.
"It must be her, it must be her deliberately showing off, deliberately causing me to be misunderstood by my husband, it is her eyes that have been so attentive to me in the past few days. Vicious, really vicious. The flower reflected the moon and roared. Thinking carefully about the cause and effect of this incident, she only felt that everything was designed, which made her angry.
Madame was furious. We don't have evidence for this, so we can't just talk about it. Now the second master has a thorn in his heart because of this matter, if Mrs. will blame the fault on Miss Ru's head like this, maybe the complaint will be good in the end, but it will be tired of herself. It's not worth it. ”
"You're right. It's really not appropriate to talk about that at this time. Fortunately, you reminded me well, otherwise I would really be in the trap. ”
"Then the lady should be calm, and wait until the first day of the third month, when the reputation of Miss Naru is completely ruined. In the end, it was not the lady who took advantage of the fisherman. Why bother too much about this. Sooner or later, it will have to be returned. ”
"That's right, sooner or later, I'll have to pay it back." Hua Yingyue suddenly smiled as she spoke, laughing a little indulgently. It makes people think she's crazy.
The last time she sent someone to invite Qin Yuxiao to smile, it was because of her stomachache, but she didn't expect that even this reason would not invite Qin Yuxiao to come, which made Hua Yingyue know. It's useless to toss any longer. It only makes him seem useless.
After finally sending Qin Yuxiao away, Shen Zhuru returned to the room and called Yueyang in.
Shen Zhuru played with the sapphire in her hand, looked at the gem through the candlelight, and really found the words that Hua Yingyue said before in it.
It seems that she is not joking, but it is true, but she is just a little anxious for a while, and she ended up like that.
Of course. It can't be said that she really didn't have a trace of jealousy at that time, it's just that she didn't know it.
"Yueyang. You know wrong. Shen Zhuru said lightly.
Yueyang knelt down consciously.
"Miss, the slave knows her mistake, the slave shouldn't be good at making an argument and breaking the rope of the necklace to blame Hua Yingyue."
"It's good to know. What a good necklace, just like this, it's broken, and a pearl is missing. But this pearl can't be found, as if it has evaporated from the world. Yueyang, your eyes are sharp, what the hell do you say is going on? ”
"Miss, it's the slave who knows it's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Shen Zhuru took a closer look at the sapphire in his hand, and he could also see the word in the gem, which turned out to be a lotus character.
"The slave should not destroy a pearl without authorization, hide it and not take the initiative to tell the young lady."
"You really shouldn't be hiding it. I know that you still think that you are Mu Fenghua's person in your heart, and you will more or less do something beneficial to him because of him. For example, I said that I would say good things for him, and for example, I said that I found a scapegoat and ruined the necklace that Qin Yuxiao gave me, I didn't want him to get his wish, and I wanted him to have a pimple in his heart. You think I'm wrong? ”
"That's right."
"Don't be arrogant in the future. If you ruin my plans, you don't want to be in front of me for the rest of your life. ”
"Yes, miss. If there is such a thing next time, the slave will definitely inform the young lady as soon as possible. ”
"Hmm." Shen Zhuru responded lightly, stared at the sapphire in his hand and looked at it, and then opened his mouth again.
"Yueyang, how much do you know about my Shen family's affairs?"
"What does Miss want to know?"
"My mother. Since I am my mother's biological daughter, do you think my mother looks very similar to me? Or even carved out of a mold? ”
"Why did Miss suddenly remember to ask this?"
"It's nothing, but I suddenly remembered what Gusu Changliu said. He said that there was a portrait in his father's study, and that you and I were carved out of the same mold. You said that if it weren't for the fact that the woman had anything to do with me, or if it was my mother, at least it would be my mother's twin sister. Otherwise, how could there be people in this world who look so similar? ”
"But as far as I know, Miss's mother is just an ordinary woman, if she had such a young lady's appearance, I am afraid that she would have been famous in the capital at that time, not so nameless, and even not as famous as Miss when she was a child."
"Are you sure it's ordinary?"
"Sure. And the slave maid had also seen the portrait of Mrs. Shen at the beginning. It is not so much that Miss and Mrs. Shen are similar in appearance, but rather similar to the appearance of Miss before, and as for the current appearance, it is as if she has changed a person. Could it be that this Mrs. Shen is also wearing a mask like Miss, which makes people unable to detect the signs of disguise. Just, why do this? Isn't it nice for a woman to have a beautiful face? Why hide? ”
"You should have heard of the words "red face and troubled water."
"Miss is ...... mean"
"Maybe that face will cause too many changes, and it will be in constant trouble. It's better to hide it as well. ”
Yueyang didn't answer anymore, but suddenly felt that the Shen family didn't seem to be just a so-called unjust case, and maybe there were things hidden under the seemingly calm surface.
"Yueyang. Can you help me tell your young master, I want to find out what happened to the Shen family's case at the beginning? And is it true that everyone in my Shen family is dead, and there is only one me left? ”
"Yes, the slave will tell the young master on her behalf, and I believe that the young master will try his best to find out everything you want to know for the young lady."
One night passed, and the next day, Hua Yingyue also came to find Qin Yuxiao, but it was good to watch it from afar. He didn't come over suddenly, so as not to make Qin Yu laugh and get angry.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet that was said to be held before should now be prepared. The first finishing work is essential.
The hundred gardens need to be sorted out well, and some potted flowers are sent to the hundred gardens for decoration, the pruning of the pruning, and the arrangement of the arrangement. Just to welcome tomorrow's guests. Don't be rude.
On the first day of the first month of March, the weather is fine, early in the morning, you can smell the aroma of dim sum to the nose, it smells really fragrant, enter the garden of the hundred gardens, the flowers in the garden are delicate, beautiful, no wonder to call the hundred gardens. But it's a little relaxed.
"It's really lively, this person hasn't even arrived, and it's so lively. If all the guests have arrived, it really makes people know how to describe it. ”
"It's really good. If everyone comes, it's really lively. ”
"Sister Ru, it's really strange to come over early this morning."
"Sister, aren't you too early?"
"There's no way, after all, I'm the host of this party, so naturally I have to get up earlier to see what happened, so as not to make any mistakes, and to correct it as soon as possible, so as not to snub the guests in the end, then it's really not good."
"Sister, then continue to be busy, and when the time is almost up, I will send a maid to inform me, and I will go over, so as not to go too early and have an impact."
"It's still my sister who is thoughtful. That's fine, you can rest and rest, and when you can't get it, you won't have time to rest when you're busy. ”
A short conversation, with a different meaning hidden in each other's words, is also a small contest.
As soon as the time came, the guests arrived one after another, and the Qin family, which originally seemed a little deserted, would suddenly become lively and noisy.
People in and out began to get busy, the ladies of each family gathered together to talk and laugh, and the sons of each family will slowly arrive at the hundred gardens, painting and singing poems and fuqin constitute a beautiful scenery of the hundred gardens.
The ladies of each family drank tea and chatted in the Baihua Building, and Hua Yingyue accompanied her.
"Second Young Lady, I heard that the Second Young Master is about to become the prefect of An Shaofu, and you will be happy in the future." Zhang Zhi, the third young lady of the Zhang family, said with a smile.
"It's not wrong to be the prefect, it just so happens that this half month can be regarded as a make-up holiday, and it will be time to go to work with the husband in a while. Although Qiyang County is only a few days away from Nanyang County, it is not as good as this, and you can invite your ladies to come over from time to time. ”
"If the second young lady is not too troublesome, if there is any party in the future, we can also notify in advance, just wait for the young lady to come to the appointment." Zhang Zhi smiled and said with a hint of hypocrisy.
"By the way, I heard that there is a beautiful girl in the house, and it is rumored that this girl is as beautiful as a fairy, so she lives in the house, I wonder if we have a chance to meet this rumored fairy girl?" Xiao Yunhan, the fourth lady of the Li family, asked with a smile, but there was something in her words.
"The person in the words of the fourth young lady should be Sister Ruzhu."
"Sister Ruzhu?" Xiao Yunhan was a little surprised, she asked the name of the so-called rumored famous woman so easily, and thought that this Hua Yingyue would refuse to answer, or take care of other things, but she didn't expect that she would reveal Shen Zhuru's existence so easily.
"Then I don't know what the relationship between this girl and the house is?"
"It's nothing. It was a girl that her husband met in the capital. The ladies also know that this man will always be a little irrational. Fortunately, this sister Ruzhu is also a beautiful girl, worthy of the identity of my husband, and the well-known medicinal restaurant in the capital is owned by her. I heard that Sister Ruzhu has an older brother, but she never had the opportunity to meet her. Thinking that my sister can prepare the birthday peach dim sum needed for the birthday banquet on the birthday of the Queen Mother, you can know that she is also a person with some ability, and she has won the appreciation of the Queen Mother, the princesses and the princes, but she is not a person without identity. ”
"It does sound quite powerful, but it is only one or two times that I have won the emperor's grace, and I can't do it accurately. Lacks a bit of foundation. It's not nice to say, but he's just a cook, so there's nothing to brag about. Second Young Lady Qin, I think that the so-called Ruzhu girl, although she is good-looking, is it not also when you take advantage of your body to occupy the heart of your father-in-law. You have to be careful about this, don't end up in a place where you have no money and no money, then it's useless to cry. However, you don't need to worry about this, at least you still have flesh and blood in your belly, which is the capital you need to make a living. Of course, if a boy has that weight, if it is a daughter, then it is really ......" An Xiaoqiao, the eldest lady of the Yao family, spoke with a slight hint of yin and yang, which was obviously sneering at Shen Zhuru's so-called glamorous name, and even did not forget to sow discord.
"As long as the two are happy, the outside is empty. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't stop it. Why not let her enter the door smoothly, at least it can be regarded as a small comfort to keep the prime minister at home and not run out vigorously. Hua Yingyue refuted with a smile An Xiaoqiao, the eldest lady of the Yao family, and was obviously very dissatisfied with An Xiaoqiao's questioning.
Almost all the people in Nanyang County know the virtue of the eldest young master of the Yao family, An Xiaoqiao has not yet come out, her husband has been in Hualou for a long time, and he is a prodigal son who has gone out, she will talk like this is not because the things in the family have caused her temperament to change greatly, and she will always can't help but have a strange tone of yin and yang when she speaks, offending many people.
It stands to reason that such a person can be invited to the banquet held at home less, so as not to make the atmosphere stiff, but Hua Yingyue specially invited such a master for today's purpose, specially used to make big things, so although he was unhappy that the other party was rude, he could only endure it.
"The second young lady is really open-minded, if I can't bear to enter the house alone. Even if he comes, he must drive people away, otherwise the back house will have to be restless because of a woman. ”
"Young lady of the Yao family, you better say a few words. Come and relax today, enjoy the flowers, don't make yourself unhappy, it's not worth it. The second young lady of the Qi family was busy opening her mouth to persuade her, and she was a well-known good-tempered lady in the county. (To be continued......)
