Chapter 211: Chrysanthemum Banquet (II)
As soon as Lu Wanwan's words fell, he saw a familiar figure walking into Chonghuayuan, he was wearing a purple robe, with a purple jade hair crown, his figure was elegant, and his nobility was difficult to hide, he slowly walked to the middle of a group of male guests, talking to several of them, the corners of his mouth were always smiling, and his expression seemed to be quite pleasant.
Even if you can't hear what they're saying, this demeanor alone has already attracted the attention of many women.
When Lu Wanwan saw that person, she immediately lowered her head with a little weakness, but Dong Xuan pulled her sleeve and whispered in her ear with some excitement: "I thought the prince would not come today, I heard that a few days ago, he was captured by the Zheng family, and he was locked up for several days before he was released......" She was halfway through her words, and then remembered that Lu Wanwan seemed to be a member of the Zheng family, and the unfinished words suddenly stopped abruptly, looking at Lu Wanwan with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Lu Wanwan's face didn't have any expression, she smiled with Dong Xuan comfortingly, and said, "I really don't know about this matter, I haven't married into the Zheng Mansion at that time." ”
Dong Xuan was also relieved when he heard this, thinking that Lu Wan was the daughter of the Dong family after all, and she should be more oriented to the Dong family, so she put her mind at ease and continued with her in a low voice: "I heard that it was a strategist of the Zheng family who captured the prince by means, and later asked the Qin Wangfu to exchange soldiers and horses for the prince, and everyone thought that the prince would be devastated because of that incident, but now it seems that he has not been affected too much." ”
Lu Wanwan didn't speak, but just glanced at Li Wei again, and at the same time, Li Wei, as if he had a sense, looked at Lu Wanwan, and the eyes of the two collided, but they didn't avoid it. After a while, Li Wei smiled slightly, and then looked away, as if he hadn't seen Lu Wanwan.
While Lu Wanwan was talking to Dong Xuan, many male guests had already walked to the front of the desk and began to evaluate the chrysanthemums one by one.
The way to evaluate is also very simple, look at its shape, smell its taste, and finally vote for your favorite tooth card.
Some men and women are interested in each other, and they have made an appointment in advance. The man confirms the target first. Then I walked directly to the pot of chrysanthemums, smelled it a little, took a look, and threw the tooth card into it. Although he was ridiculed by his friends. The face is slightly red. But he is also willing to eat.
Some of them are rough, and they don't have patience after reading a few, so they just cast one casually.
Some of them really enjoy chrysanthemum viewing. Walk slowly along the way, smell slowly, remember what you like, and finally decide, this is the most serious participant.
In the different expressions of those people, there was the sound of everyone's snickering in their ears, and many people found this process quite interesting, especially to observe everyone's expression after smelling the incense, and guessing where those handsome men threw their tooth cards, which was actually very interesting.
However, Lu Wanwan is naturally not included among these people, and her more attention is still on Li Wei, she always feels that the Qin Wangfu will invite her to participate in this chrysanthemum appreciation party, and the purpose is probably not so simple.
Lu Wanwan was absent-minded, she didn't notice that there was an extra maid serving vegetables next to her, the maid was holding the vegetables with both hands, as if she had tripped over the corner of her skirt, and the whole person rushed to Lu Wanwan, fortunately, Dong Xuan, who was sitting next to her, had a quick eye and pulled her up, but after all, there was still a lot of juice falling on Lu Wanwan's skirt, and the red, red, yellow and yellow juice looked like a wolf.
"Slave and maid deserve to die, lady atone for her sins!"
Before Lu Wanwan could speak, the little maid was first scared half to death, knelt down with a pale face, and kept kowtowing to Lu Wanwan to apologize.
"How did you do it, so carelessly!" Dong Xuan looked at Lu Wanwan's exquisite pink skirt full of filth, and suddenly felt sorry, such a light-colored skirt was considered a waste, so he couldn't help but reprimand the maid.
Lu Wanwan is not a stingy person, just a skirt, she doesn't care much, but she feels that this matter is a little strange, there are so many guests in this garden, how can it be so coincidental that vegetable juice will be spilled on her.
Lu Wanwan subconsciously raised his head to look for Meng Feiyang's figure, but he didn't see him, and his suspicion suddenly became even worse.
Princess Qin was originally in the main seat, Xu heard the movement here, and at this time she was already in a hurry, as soon as she saw Lu Wanwan, her brows furrowed tightly, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes very quickly, but when the maid next to her whispered something in her ear, a trace of doubt appeared on her face, and she looked at Lu Wanwan carefully, and then suppressed the love on her face, walked in front of Lu Wanwan with a smile, and said: "This is Mrs. Zheng, it is the subordinates of my palace who are not well entertained, I will let people go to the palace tomorrow to give gifts and apologize." , which can be regarded as compensation for Mrs. Zheng's loss. ”
Lu Wanwan saw Princess Qin's reaction when she saw her, and she already knew in her heart that Li Wei should not have told her about herself, so she just smiled slightly at this time, and said open-mindedly: "It's not in the way, the maid in the house didn't mean it, but it's just a skirt, and the princess doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Princess Qin glanced at Lu Wanwan deeply, there was still doubt in her eyes, she nodded slowly, and said, "Mrs. Zheng is so inconvenient at the moment, I will let someone accompany you to change your clothes." ”
Lu Wanwan was really inconvenient to be in front of people now, so she nodded and agreed, but she also had a heartfelt look and said to Princess Qin: "I don't know if I can let my clan sister accompany me." ”
Princess Qin glanced at Dong Xuan beside Lu Wanwan again, and the doubts in her eyes were much less at this time, and she nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, the two of you, please." After that, she instructed the maid behind her to say a few words, and the maid stepped forward to salute Lu Wanwan, and then took them to change clothes.
Lu Wanwan and Dong Xuan followed the maid to the backyard wing, and the maid let the two sit and wait for a while, and then moved a box, which was full of brand-new skirts, and a few had more than a dozen sets, which made the two a little dazzled.
The maid took out the skirts in the box one by one and selected them for Lu Wanwan, each of which was no less than the one she was wearing at the moment, Lu Wanwan was better, but Dong Xuan's face was already full of admiration.
Lu Wanwan finally picked out a skirt of the same color as her body, and pulled Dong Xuan to change clothes behind the screen.
Dong Xuan held the brand-new skirt in her hand, and said with emotion: "I knew before that Princess Qin was a woman from a big family in the capital. If it weren't for King Qin's fief in Qicheng, she wouldn't have come here, the family in the capital is different, you just saw it, that box of clothes, every one of them is not in our Qicheng style, and those are not worn by the princess, now think about it, it really makes us look like a hillbilly. ”
Lu Wanwan had seen a lot of good things before, and listened to Dong Xuan's words. Just smiled undeniably. said: "Don't be presumptuous, that Princess Qin looks glamorous on the surface, but she may not be good on the inside, but she is just a box of clothes." What's so rare. ”
Dong Xuan felt that Lu Wanwan's words were also quite reasonable. He gave her a strange look. Only then did he say with a meaningful face: "Sister Xin, I found you to be such an interesting person, but it's a pity that you didn't grow up in the Dong Mansion." Otherwise, the two of us must be good, you may not remember, your eldest sister is really not very popular, her eyes are above the top all day long, which makes people look uncomfortable, fortunately she married and went to the capital, otherwise in this Qicheng, I still have to look at her face. "Dong Xuan's father is the second oldest in the Dong family, because he is not out of office, so he just deals with some family business, and his status is naturally not as good as the eldest brother and second brother who is an official, and the identity that Lu Wanwan is wearing now is the daughter of the uncle of the Dong family, and the uncle of the Dong family was promoted to the capital a few years ago, and the eldest sister in Dong Xuan's mouth is Dong Xin's eldest sister, who went to the capital with the uncle of the Dong family, and the marriage match is naturally in the capital.
"I really don't remember, I went to Zhuangzi when I was very young, and my father and mother were afraid that I would give my sister too sick, and rarely let her come to see me." Lu Wanwan followed Dong Xuan's words and said casually.
Dong Xuan looked at Lu Wanwan's eyes and suddenly felt a little more sympathy, and said with great regret: "If Sister Xin is not sick, with your appearance, the person who comes to ask for marriage is probably going to step on the threshold of our family, your eldest sister always thinks that she is a beauty, it is because she has not seen you, otherwise she will definitely have no face to mention the word 'beauty' again." ”
"Where is my sister, what you said is so exaggerated." Lu Wan rarely interacts with women of the same age, but today he is very compatible with this Dong Xuan, and he also likes her temperament very much.
"I never exaggerate, you should have seen it too, when you first came in, everyone was stunned, we people are used to seeing beauties since childhood, not by my sister you amazed, I dare to pack tickets, among those noble girls in the capital, I'm afraid I can't find one better than my sister's appearance." Dong Xuan said with an oath.
Lu Wanwan is confident in her appearance, in her previous life, the capital could compare with her beauty, and she could count it on one hand, but she was still very modest, she was already very jealous, and if her attitude was more arrogant, wouldn't it be more hateful.
When Lu Wan was about to change his clothes, Dong Xuan's face suddenly changed, and he covered his stomach with his hand, his whole face wrinkled together, and he looked very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Wanwan saw Dong Xuan's appearance and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"I seem to ...... I have a bad stomach......" Dong Xuan's face was very ugly, and he said very embarrassed.
"Then let the maid outside take you to the toilet first, I'll wait for you here." Lu Wanwan's expression was suddenly a little subtle, but he immediately said to Dong Xuan.
Dong Xuan obviously couldn't help it, nodded hurriedly, and rushed outside.
Lu Wanwan looked at her appearance, couldn't help frowning, she finally tidied up her collar and cuffs, and slowly walked out from behind the screen, at this time there was no one in the room, she walked to the table, picked up the teacup that Dong Xuan had drunk just now, put it under her nose and smelled it, a flash of clarity flashed on her face, she put down the teacup, and sat down on the chair, with no expression on her face, but her dark eyes seemed to be full of anger.
Lu Wanwan didn't wait long, the door was quickly pushed open, and when she saw the person who came in, she still didn't have any expression on her face, she just stared at him with her eyes, and there were many complicated feelings in her eyes.
"Wanwan, I said we'd meet again soon." Li Wei closed the door and lowered his head and smiled, his smile was a little strange, which made people shudder.
Lu Wanwan looked very calm, although the current situation was obviously unfavorable to her, the current Li Wei was no longer the Li Wei she knew before, she couldn't see through him, and without knowing what Li Wei would do to her, Lu Wanwan's situation at the moment was very dangerous.
"Li Wei, maybe we should have a good talk." Lu Wanwan pondered for a moment, and finally spoke.
"I thought you were pretending you didn't know me, Madame Zheng! But whoever you are, we really need to talk! One! Talk! Li Wei had already walked in front of Lu Wanwan, looked at her condescendingly and said, there was a touch of gloom in his eyes.
Lu Wanwan frowned, Li Wei felt very uncomfortable for her now, like a cold poisonous snake, she felt that even if a person changed, it would not become so complete, it was impossible to change from a harmless animal to a bloodthirsty and cold-blooded poisonous snake in an instant, so she guessed that this would be just a disguise for Li Wei.
Lu Wanwan raised her head, looked at Li Wei with sincere eyes, and said softly: "Li Wei, I hope you can sit down calmly, and we can have a good talk." ”
Li Wei looked at Lu Wanwan, suddenly sneered, then leaned over and stared at her face tightly for a while before he spoke: "You just used your face to fascinate that Zheng Houzhong, not only helped you forge a background, but also married you as a wife, you are now proud of the spring breeze, I just don't know what kind of expression Jian Yu will have when he sees your current appearance, I think at the beginning, he loved you and didn't even want to die, now think about it, he is really stupid, But I'm not qualified to laugh at him, because I'm also that fool, but Wanwan, if you play with men like this, aren't you afraid that one day, you will suffer from it? ”
Lu Wanwan didn't expect that she was already such a lewd and vicious woman in Li Wei's eyes, but she didn't intend to defend herself, she just said with a cold expression: "If you want to think of me like this, I have nothing to say, it's just that you tried your best to get me here today, don't you want to talk to me about this nonsense." ”
"Wanwan, you are still so smart......" Li Wei smiled lightly, as if he couldn't help but reach out and wanted to caress Lu Wanwan's cheek, but was avoided by Lu Wanwan alertly, and then got up flexibly and moved away from Li Wei, fortunately, she has been practicing martial arts these days, otherwise with her woman's strength, she would definitely fall behind in the face of Li Wei.
