Chapter 59: Euphemism and subtlety
"Cousin Hong, which style do you like?"
"Plain bamboo pattern this."
"No, that's too plain, just choose this, the one with big golden branches and green leaves."
“……”
"Cousin Hong, which of these two embroidery styles do you like?"
"The one of the moon-white honeysuckle flowers."
"No, if you want to choose a little more joyful, let's just choose Phalaenopsis."
“……”
"Cousin Hong, which of these colors do you like?"
"Well, you can pick it for me."
"Cousin Hong, you're going too far, this is your marriage to the Lord of Shuoyun, how can you let someone else choose for you? Tell me, Cousin Hong, which color do you like? ”
"Then choose the royal blue one."
"The royal blue one, the color is also bright, but Cousin Hong, I think it's better to be magenta, what do you think?"
"I think it's still royal blue ......"
"Okay, let's go for magenta."
“……”
Qi Hong really felt a headache now, his body was very sore, his eyes were full of stars, and he actually felt that the air was a little thinner - my God, what a great blessing I suddenly felt to be quiet now!!
In the Beiding Palace, after Xu Youshan and Xu Mingcheng rendezvous, they came to Qi Hong with a huge "bombardment", which made Qi Hong helpless. But I have to say that Qi Hong is really a young man who has cultivated to his grandmother's house, and in the face of such four girls who continue to bombard him, Qi Hong still hasn't lost the slightest temper. Even helplessly, on his face, there was only a gentle feeling of breeze blowing on his face. It's amazing.
But no matter what, anyway, as long as it is against a person like Qi Hong, who is gentle and good-natured, it is impossible for people to "torture" him for long, because people like Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng are incredibly strong, after seeing Qi Hong's helpless smile, they couldn't help but say to him: "Cousin Hong, are you tired?" ”
"Hmm." Qi Hong replied quickly.
"Then Cousin Hong, go and rest. We'll take care of the rest. Xu Mingcheng patted his chest and reassured.
"Then thank you sister-in-law and three cousins." Although they didn't know that Xu Youshan and the others were actually Qi Hong, who had softened their hearts, they were still a little confused, but they still seized the opportunity and fled to the west side of Shiji. Although the old princess of Beiding will not "shield" him in this matter. But there was no way, Qi Hong could only run to the west side of the old princess's rock.
Because in the current Beiding Palace, except for the west side of Shiji, there is no quiet place.
……
……
"Which one do you say is better?"
And although Qi Hong is relieved. was raised by Xu Youshan and the four of them. Let him go, but after he left, Xu Youshan and the four of them were also enthusiastic and continued to struggle in a lot of gorgeous clothes and brocades.
"The one on the left. So which of the two I have in my hand is better? ”
"It's the one on the left, too."
"Okay."
So Xu Youshan and the four of them also continued to work hard without hesitation for someone's wedding who had slipped away. And this busyness has been busy until the afternoon and evening. was so busy that Qi Hong was embarrassed to take the initiative to come back from the west side of Shiji twice. As for dinner, of course, Xu Youshan and the four of them were forced to stay in the Beiding Mansion by the old princess to eat. Otherwise, when they returned to Dongyang Lane, they would be afraid that they would be hungry.
But originally today, Xu Youshan and the three of them came to Beiding Wangfu early in the morning, and they also met Qi Xuan who went to Taixue on the way, so they should not have stayed in Beiding Wangfu at night, but hurried back to Dongyang Lane and Qilin Fang. But who knew that there were a lot of things today, and Xu Youshan and the others had been busy for a long time, so the old princess of Beiding said that they had to stay and eat, and in front of the old princess, everything that should have been and shouldn't have suddenly become what it should be.
So although it was a bit of an accident, Xu Youshan and the others still stayed in the Beiding Palace, but this accident led to another accident. And this other accident makes some people happy and some people sad.
So who is happy and who is sad?
Judging from Xu Yourong's eyes shining with green light looking at the slender figure who came in with Qi Xuan, and Xu Youshan's face that immediately turned his head sideways and looked at Xu Mingcheng and Xu Ming's collapsed faces, this can still be immediately distinguished.
"Nie Liu, why are you here?"
But compared to the emotions that Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan can understand at a glance, the feelings brewed in Nie Suhyun's peach blossom eyes at this time are much more complicated, "Miss Xu." And Nie Suhyun didn't answer Xu Yourong's question lightly, but just bowed politely to the girl who ran in front of him.
But the more Nie Suhyun was like this, the more Xu Yourong looked at him directly. Anyway, she is the most sure of his temperament, at least among the people here, there will be no one who knows Nie Suhyun better than her. Therefore, even if Nie Suhyun didn't answer her words, but just bowed to her lukewarmly, she didn't reduce her enthusiasm and looked at his slightly drooping eyes, and said, "Nie Liu, you haven't answered my words yet." ”
And if anyone knows the most about the relationship between Xu Yourong and Nie Suhyun, then of course it belongs to the Xu family. But apart from the Xu family, who knows the relationship between the two best?
- Naturally, it is the Qi family of the Beiding Palace.
After all, in addition to Xu's Mansion, Beiding Wangfu is where Xu Yourong and her have been jumping everywhere since they were children, and in Beiding Wangfu, Xu Youshan and her sisters have long been familiar with each other, like their own back garden. Since this is the case, the Qi family also knows everything about Xu Yourong and Nie Suhyun.
Therefore, when they saw Xu Yourong's eyes at this time, where there was Nie Suhyun, they could only see that his situation happened again, and everyone had no reaction. And fortunately, Xu Youshan and the others are here now in Qi Xuan and Xu Mingxi's Yuehan Zhai. Because Xu Youshan and the four of them have been busy for Qi Hong for a day today, the old princess and the Rui family don't want the four of them to work hard, so they hold it in front of their elders. Therefore, they all ordered them to let a few of their juniors eat in the Yuehan Fast.
And because of this, after Qi Xuan returned home, he didn't ask, and he didn't expect Xu Youshan and the others to leave and not say. I didn't expect Xu Youshan and the others to accompany the old princess on the west side of Shiji, but they all gathered in Yuehanzhai, which caused Qi Xuan, who was going to take Nie Suhyun to the study to talk about things, and after entering Yuehanzhai, he slammed into Xu Youshan and the four of them, who were all sitting in the flower hall and chatting after dinner.
"Miss Xu, I have something to discuss with Qi Shizi, so I went to the palace to disturb her."
But in any case. No matter how coincidental this accident was, they all ran into each other straight now anyway, so under Xu Yourong's untactful eyes, and almost very sure of the repeated questioning. Although Nie Suhyun lowered his eyes and avoided her direct gaze, he finally answered her question.
And Nie Suhyun, who was once in this kind of public view, could ignore Xu Yourong and leave. How could he answer all questions to Xu Yourong like this? Xu Yourong pursed her pink lips. He smiled like a little fox.
Of course, that's because Nie Suhyun can't leave her behind now, because he has something to discuss with Qi Xuan, so how can he go? And in this kind of situation where he can't just leave, Nie Suhyun can't and can't ignore Xu Yourong, otherwise the consequences will be terrible...... Therefore, when Qi Xuan saw Xu Yourong, whose eyes were glowing green, trotted in front of Nie Suhyun, he was extremely wise to ignore the gaze that Nie Suhyun also immediately cast, and leisurely swung to Xu Mingxi's side.
"Oh~~~ That's it!"
can ignore Nie Suhyun's somewhat rare gaze with a sense of distress. is not only Qi Xuan, but also Xu Yourong.
Xu Yourong was now completely ignoring the glance that Nie Suhyun had just cast at Qi Xuan. Directly as if he hadn't seen it, he continued to ask Nie Suhyun, "Then have you had dinner together?" ”
"I used it."
"It's so early." It's just the beginning of the unitary period, and it's a bit early to have dinner at this time. Although Xu Youshan and the others had already had dinner at this time, it was because they were so hungry that they were allowed by the old princess to set up dinner in Yuehanzhai, so Xu Youshan and the four of them started the meal early when Qi Xuan said today that he would not come back to eat.
"Cousin Xuan, didn't you say that you would come back late today, how could you come back now? If I had known this, I would have been waiting for you to eat together. And because of this, when Xu Yourong was arrogantly blocking in front of Nie Suhyun, Xu Youshan and their side, Xu Mingcheng also asked like Qi Xuan.
"Originally, there was something going on in Taixue today, so I would tell you in the morning that I would come back late today. But who knew that in the afternoon, Su Hyun suddenly came to me and said that there was something to discuss with me, so I came back early. Qi Xuan and Xu Mingcheng said.
Qi Xuan and Xu Mingcheng were whispering here, but Xu Yourong's side didn't mean to be subtle at all, and the voice was so loud that Xu Youshan and the others here could hear her and Nie Suhyun clearly.
"Do you have something to discuss with Cousin Xuan? Oh~~~"
And hearing this, it seems that Xu Yourong over there also asked why Nie Suhyun came to the Beiding Mansion at this time. But when Nie Suhyun said this, he hoped that Xu Yourong would know that he and Qi Xuan were on the right track, and said that he could open a little road and let him pass.
Unfortunately, some people are also very avoidant of the important.
"But this matter shouldn't be urgent." Xu Yourong knew Nie Suhyun very well, and knew that she once complained about herself, so now she doesn't need to look at him a few more times and study his expression more, Xu Yourong can know that the matter that Nie Suhyun wants to discuss with Qi Xuan, although it may be a big event, it is definitely not a big thing that is very anxious.
"......" And for Xu Yourong's understanding of Nie Suhyun, there are other people who also complain about her, such as Nie Suhyun herself.
Today's Xu Yourong didn't expect to meet Nie Suhyun at all, so she was full of normalcy in her eyes. But these "ordinary" fell in the eyes of others, but they were all brilliant.
It's like the golden tassel jade hairpin on Xu Yourong's head now, although it is not a complicated hairpin at a glance, but when you get close to it, you will be surprised to find that whether it is a tassel or a trace of jadeite texture, there are almost thousands of tempered gorgeous carvings, exquisite to the point of shocking. So. Not to mention the detailed study of Xu Yourong's body, other more gorgeous and workmanlike clothing, it is really nothing ordinary.
Therefore. Just when Xu Yourong secretly regretted that he didn't dress up well today, and tried to have a stunning impression in front of Nie Suhyun, Nie Suhyun had already taken his eyes off her and moved elsewhere. Because no matter what, Nie Suhyun didn't want to stay on Xu Yourong's body for too long; Because whether it was her too bright smile or her too sure understanding of him, he didn't want to keep his eyes on her.
"Nie Liu. Why don't you speak, because I guessed right. ”
But Nie Suhyun's silence and avoidance of eyes were for Xu Yourong, who had already been honed by him with a strong heart. It wasn't a problem at all, so she continued to ask him.
And Nie Suhyun really can't say a lie like "No, you guessed wrong, this matter is a hundred thousand urgent big things". Therefore, when Xu Yourong quietly approached him again. Nie Suhyun frowned her beautiful brows, and once again couldn't help but look up at Qi Xuan's side, hoping that he would not continue to play dead.
But Nie Suhyun didn't look at it, but this look was given by the small figure next to Qi Xuan and Xu Mingxi, who had almost completely turned his back.
So who is this little figure, who can fix Nie Suhyun's gaze? - Except for Xu Youshan, there is no need to think about him. And at this time, Xu Youshan's heart was also broken, how could she not die and meet the sixth son of the Nie family again. They are too fateful, so fate that Xu Youshan herself wants to look up to the sky and roar.
And originally for Xu Youshan. Nie Suhyun usually sees her at a glance when there is her. But today, it was because of the relationship between Nie Suhyun and Qi Xuan that was blocked by Xu Yourong as soon as they arrived in Yuehanzhai, resulting in Nie Suhyun not discovering Xu Youshan for the first time.
After all, even if Nie Suhyun's enthusiasm for Xu Yourong is cold to the end, it cannot be denied that Xu Yourong's peerless bright face still has a great visual impact, so big that in front of her, it is difficult for people to be distracted from other things under her approach, which is a fact that even Nie Suhyun cannot be an exception.
But at first, Nie Suhyun didn't find out that Xu Youshan was okay, and after he found her, the situation would be ...... Not much has changed.
"Nie Liu, don't go too far, you have to ignore my problem a few times."
Nie Suhun's gaze was fixed on Xu Youshan, and the pretty face that was suddenly magnified was forcibly moved back. And looking at Xu Yourong in front of him, who was unconsciously approaching him with two big steps when he lost his mind, Nie Suhyun pursed his lips and took a step back, and said lightly: "Miss Xu, I don't mean to ignore you in the future." ”
"Then what are you doing, I've called you several times, but you didn't react at all."
And looking at Nie Suhyun, who was retreating, Xu Yourong did not chase after him this time, but hugged his chest with both hands. But does Xu Yourong really not know what Nie Suhyun is doing? Of course not, when he first saw Xu Youshan stunned, she found out. And the sadness that suddenly surged in her heart, she also found out as soon as possible. But what is the most unrelenting thing in the world?
Popularity.

"We're just running out, are we okay?"
"There's nothing you can do about it, otherwise you can see the look of the sixth son of the Nie family looking at me...... It is estimated that it will not take too long for the eldest sister to be 'gentle, and she can't be gentle' anymore to use her wrong hand on me. ”
This is a small garden not too close to Yuehansai, full of lush, lush vegetation and delicate flowers, and the scenery is endless. And it was in this delicate and petite garden that a few guests were welcomed at this time - Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen.
It turned out that just now, after Nie Suxun found out that Xu Youshan was also there, he looked at her eyes, which was so focused that even Xu Youshan himself found out, so when Xu Yourong pulled Nie Suhyun's attention back later, Xu Youshan planned to sneak away quietly. However, Xu Youshan had just gotten up when she was discovered by Xu Mingwen next to her, and Xu Youshan didn't whimsically think that Xu Mingwen, who was closest to her, would not be able to see her escape.
Therefore, after exchanging a quick glance with Xu Mingwen, the two simply slipped away together.
"Alas......"
But Xu Youshan didn't say
Fortunately, as soon as Nie Suhyun's name was mentioned, she sighed for a long time, and Xu Mingwen, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile: "Sister Rong and the sixth son of the Nie family were originally a bad relationship that couldn't be explained, but now it's better." Even you stepped into this mess. I also saw the eyes of the sixth son of the Nie family looking at you just now, and it was almost the same as when Sister Rong looked at him. ”
"Ouch, sister-in-law. Can you please not be so blunt. ”
But after listening to Xu Ming's words, Xu Youshan sat directly on a stone chair, and said with a sad face: "The eldest sister and the sixth son of the Nie family have a relationship that can't be explained, sister-in-law, you don't need to say that I already knew, otherwise why do you think I am avoiding him like a plague god?" It's not because I don't even know much about it now, how much the eldest sister likes this sixth son of the Nie family. ”
Xu Youshan's hiding from Nie Suhyun was like hiding from the plague god. The other three, of course, know best. But it's bad here, even if Xu Youshan hides from Nie Suhyun, it's already like she's hiding from the plague god. But the sixth son of the Nie family was still focused as soon as he saw Xu Youshan, focusing on Xu Youshan and they were thrilled, afraid that Xu Yourong would be gently stabbed a few times in the heart by Nie Suhyun, who looked at Xu Youshan like this.
"But this sixth son of the Nie family. It's also a ...... That's what. It doesn't matter if you say that he doesn't like Sister Rong, after all, people's feelings can't be easily swayed by others who have been consistent, unabandoned, and sincere for many years. But he doesn't like Sister Rong, and we can't say who he likes is not, but he likes you. …… Alas, this doesn't mean to rub more salt on Sister Rong's wounds. ”
These words seemed to be very righteous and awe-inspiring, but Xu Youshan laughed out loud after Xu Mingwen just finished speaking. "Sister Wu, don't you just say that he's a bastard."
"Ugh. You said it, oh, I didn't say it. But Xu Mingwen had an expression that didn't matter to me.
"Yes, yes, you didn't say anything, I said it." And looking at Xu Ming's wife who pushed all the responsibilities cleanly, Xu Youshan felt as if she was blocked by a big stone, and at this time she seemed to be lighter; She looked at Xu Ming's smile, and she was a little more.
But Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen, who successfully "escaped" here, ended up at ease, but Nie Suhyun, who was still blocked by Xu Yourong in the flower hall, was just the opposite.
"Nie Liu, isn't Brother Su Li back, then why don't you accompany him and discuss something with Cousin Xuan?"
But the person who is just the opposite of Nie Suhyun, Xu Yourong is very happy at this time, because there are a few people who are too eye-catching, and now in the entire huge flower hall, only she and Nie Suhyun are left, which really can't make Xu Yourong smile.
"Big brother, he's going out to visit friends today."
And looking at Xu Yourong in front of him, smiling with such obvious satisfaction, Nie Suhyun didn't know what it was like in his heart, this was simply a more complicated emotion than after he found out that Xu Youshan had slipped away just now. Although he was a little irritated that he was unknowingly forced into a corner by her, and she blocked the only exit.
"Brother Su Li went to visit a friend, no wonder you would be here, otherwise you wouldn't be sticking to Brother Su Li for twelve hours a day." But unlike Nie Suhyun's irritability, Xu Yourong is enjoying the current situation very much. After all, if Nie Suhyun wanted to leave, then she had to be asked to give way, but would she take the initiative to get out of the way?
No, yes, yes!
If she didn't take the initiative to give way, and he insisted on leaving here, he would have to push her away, but would he Nie Suhyun come to push her?
No, yes, yes! …… Although Xu Yourong was still looking forward to his first physical contact.
"Miss Xu, please pay attention to your words." But just when Xu Yourong was thinking wildly, Nie Suhyun frowned at the few sentences in her words just now, expressing extremely, very disapproval.
"Huh?" But Xu Yourong said with a natural face: "What words should you pay attention to, you are like this, since before, as long as there is a place where Brother Su Li is, when have you ever left Brother Su Li?" Anyway, when I saw you, you were all with Brother Su Li, you said it yourself, isn't that the case. Xu Yourong said it as a matter of course, and this was a rare euphemism for her. (To be continued......)
