Lu Huiwan walked back slowly, and when she walked to the gate of Chu Xiuyuan, a black shadow suddenly flashed out, blocking her way, Lu Yanwan was startled, and jumped back, only then did she see the person who came clearly by the light on the side.

Shi Jingyao was wearing a gorgeous dance dress, and her innocent little face was painted with flawless makeup, but her face was a little weird under the lantern.

Lu Yanwan's face was slightly worried, and she said unkindly: "What are you scaring here!" The expression on Shi Jingyao's face was a little gloomy, and she took a step forward, approached Lu Yanwan and asked, "You just ...... Is it with Jian Gongzi? ”

Lu Yanwan glanced at her and said coldly: "Why should I report my affairs to you, and what does it have to do with you who I am with." After speaking, Shi Jingyao passed over and was about to leave, but Shi Jingyao suddenly grabbed Lu Yanwan's arm, stared at her face and said: "Lu Yanwan, you will regret it, do you think that Jian Gongzi will really like you such a broken girl, he just pities you, you don't have to do those delusions anymore." ”

Lu Yuwan was amused by Shi Jingyao's words, she didn't think she had something wrong with her brain before, why is it so abnormal now, Jian Yu is not hers, what is the matter with her coming to her to swear sovereignty.

Lu Yanwan vigorously broke away from Shi Jingyao's hand without showing weakness, and sneered and mocked: "Jian Gongzi doesn't like me, will he still like you, don't forget your identity, it's not so easy to climb a high branch or something, be careful that the high branch didn't climb, but fell to your death, I also advise you today, it's better to keep to yourself, otherwise there is a lesson for you in this workshop." After speaking, he didn't look at Shi Jingyao again, strode away, and decided to stay away from her in the future, as soon as this person's desire swelled, his brain slowly became abnormal, and sooner or later he would fall to the ground and shatter his bones.

After that night, Shi Jingyao didn't come to trouble Lu Yanwan again, Xu was she just hung up the card, very busy, Shi Jingyao was already beautiful, and the freshness of the listing was not over, and it was naturally very popular among the dignitaries, almost stealing one-third of the guests of Shishi and Si Qingqing, after all, both of her are considered "older" in the female Ji industry, and naturally they are not as young and beautiful as Shishi.

Qin Qin's injury is basically good, except for not being able to speak for a long time, there is no other big problem, because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and this year's dragon boat racing workshop in Jinmingchi is also going to send female ji to perform, Qin Qin is busy again, and began to urge several female jiji in Yichun Courtyard to rehearse the program to be performed on the dragon boat race, this year's list of female performers was decided early, Si Qingqing and Shishi were naturally among them, and two female jis from Yichun Yuan were selected, but there was no Shi Jingyao's share, I heard that Shi Jingyao begged Qin Qin for a long time for this matter, but Qin Qin never let go, after all, Shi Jingyao had just been listed, and it was only a matter of a month to enter Yichun Courtyard, and she had no experience in performing outside, so Qin Qin naturally didn't worry about her performing in front of the palace.

When Shi Jingyao knew that she was not on the list, she was so angry that she immediately shook her face, and because she was angry, she hid in the room and couldn't eat.

This kind of gossip, Lu Yanwan naturally doesn't pay attention to it on weekdays, on this day, Lu Yanwan sat and chatted in the courtyard with Shishi and Si Qingqing, the three of them talked and talked, and they talked about it, Shishi is most unaccustomed to pretending people like Shi Jingyao, and scolded Lu Yanwan in front of him, "I can't get used to her kind of person the most, I really think how capable I am, if you want to say that talent, you can't even catch up with half of you, look, didn't I say, that kind of childish look, and those who have no taste will like it." ”

Si Qingqing's relationship with Shishi was not very good, but since Shi Jingyao entered Yichun Courtyard, the relationship between the two suddenly became harmonious, because they had people who didn't like it together.

Si Qingqing's temper is not as straight as Shishi, and he is much more euphemistic when he speaks, drinking tea, and said slowly: "I said yes, but it's just a little girl, I really think that anyone can go to the imperial performance, we have been in Yichun Courtyard for several years, so that the teacher can be selected, as far as she is just listed, I really think I can do it, but I am really too arrogant." ”

Lu Yan swallowed melon seeds in the evening, pretending to be very serious and listening to the two of them complaining, in fact, she had already been distracted, thinking about what kind of stuffing zongzi Ming'er would wrap first, she herself likes to eat ham, but Qin Qin likes to eat eight-treasure zongzi, and Zhen'er is pregnant now, she can't eat too greasy, and the red dates are more healthy......

"Wanwan! Have you listened to us again? Shishi has a bad temper, and when she saw Lu Yanwan's soul wandering out of the world, she directly stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek and shouted.

Lu Yanwan happened to be choked by a melon seed shell, and immediately freed his face from Shishi's hand, and poured a sip of tea while rubbing it, and then said: "Listen!" Listen to it! Sister Shishi, you are really becoming more and more violent, no wonder you can't get married now! ”

Si Qingqing chuckled lightly on the side, lest the world be chaotic and quipped: "Shishi, where can't she get married, is she obviously picky, Lord Dong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Hanlin Editor Wang have always wanted to accept Shishi as a concubine, but our Shishi just won't let go." ”

Shishi glanced at Si Qingqing angrily, and replied: "You're not the same as me, Sang Gongzi still wants to raise you as a wife, why don't you agree?" ”

Listening to Shishi's question, Lu Yanwan also looked at Si Qingqing with a curious face, the full name of Sang Gongzi in Shishi's mouth is Sang Yang, he is a maritime businessman, it is said that he was just a crew member who ran a boat when he was young, but he was bold and lively, after going out of the sea a few times to earn enough capital, he began to do his own business, these years of business sat down, and he was also thin and wealthy, he originally married a wife, but later he was seriously ill and died, leaving only a pair of young children, this Sang Yang can be described as a deep love for Si Qingqing, Two years ago, I began to frequently come to the teaching workshop to support Si Qingqing, and at the beginning of this year, I promised Si Qingqing that if she was willing, she would pay for her to redeem herself and treat her as a wife, which is not a good destination for the female ji of the teaching workshop, after all, the position of a wife can already make many female Ji flock to it, but Si Qingqing doesn't know what to consider, and has not let go of his promise to Sang Yang, Lu Huiwan felt that Si Qingqing must have her own considerations, so she never asked her, in fact, she was also very curious.

Si Qingqing lowered her eyes slightly, took a sip of tea slowly, and then replied faintly: "There are some things I didn't want to tell you, but now that I think about it, if I always think nonsense alone, I will inevitably get into the horns, so I will say it, and let you and I have an idea." ”

When Si Qingqing said this, Lu Yanwan was even more curious, and together with Shishi, they all stared at Si Qingqing with wide eyes, waiting for her next words.

"Sang Yang is indeed a good man, and he doesn't mind my ruined body, and prefers to treat me as a wife, but ...... Although he is sincere to me, but her family is unwilling to accept me as a dusty woman to enter the door, some time ago, Sang Yang's mother came to visit, she and I made a condition, if I want to enter the door, I can do it, but I must drink the soup before entering the door, otherwise she would rather break with her son, and never allow me to enter the door. ”

Shishi and Lu Xianwan listened to Si Qingqing's words, both of them were angry, Shishi slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "It's really too deceitful, our girls are not women, why deprive us of the right to be mothers, then don't marry the Laoshi Zisang family, I don't believe that with your talent, I can't find anyone better than them, but it's just a little businessman, I think how great I am!" ”

Si Qingqing sighed for a long time, and said with some concern: "I am an ordinary woman after all, which woman doesn't want to have her own children, I have been like this in my life, so I can only place hope on my child's body, but if I even deprive myself of this hope, I really don't want to ...... in my heart."

Lu Yanwan listened silently and didn't speak, she didn't know what to say to comfort Si Qingqing, maybe the position of the wife was tempting, but if it was based on trampling on their self-esteem, it would rather not.

"Does Sang Yang know about this?" After Shi Shi made a fire, she asked Si Qingqing angrily.

Si Qingqing shook his head, "I didn't ask him, I'm afraid that after knowing the answer, it will only be more sad......"

"Just ask." Lu Yanwan finally opened his mouth, "You always have to ask clearly, if Sang Yang also means this, then this man doesn't want it, if it's just his mother's own opinion, you have to discuss with him, let him appease his mother, since he wants to marry you, he must deal with these things well, as a man, he shouldn't let his beloved woman be wronged, this responsibility should be there." ”

Si Qingqing listened to Lu Yanwan's words, and nodded approvingly, "It seems that I really wanted to fork it up, anyway, it is a knife to stretch out my head, and it is also a knife to shrink my head, why don't you make it clear." ”

"It's because there are so many troubles, so I don't want to get married, marry a small family to be the main room, there is a mother-in-law on the top, marry an official eunuch family as a concubine, and there is a wife on the top to press, anyway, life will not be easy, it is better to be free in this workshop, no one can give me a comfortable face." Shishi pouted and said with a tired face.

"Wait until the ** person is old and yellow, no one wants it, I see if you are in a hurry." Si Qingqing was used to being against Shishi, but she couldn't help but stab her.

Shishi still didn't care, glared at Si Qingqing and said: "Then I'll redeem myself, buy a small yard next to the teaching department, buy a few maids and servants, and live my own small life, anyway, I have saved a lot in the past few years, enough for me to live the rest of my life, maybe I can recruit a son-in-law and give birth to a big fat son." ”

Shishi's words were quite bold, Si Qingqing's cheeks were slightly red when she heard this, she smacked her, and said: "It's really getting more and more faceless and skinless, Wanwan is still here, you just say that these are some and don't, don't teach the children badly." ”

"Wanwan is about to be married, and she is not a child, she always has to know about men and women, but I heard that she has a good relationship with the little prince of Wu'an Hou Mansion, how about it, is that little prince who has taken a fancy to us."

Lu Yanwan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the poems that had no lower limit, and said angrily: "You also know that he is the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, how can he take a fancy to me, I just helped him a few times before, and he only took care of me a little, just like me, who likes me." ”

Si Qingqing was not happy to listen to Lu Yanwan say this, slapped her lightly, and said: "Wanwan, don't be presumptuous, I have said to Shishi, your appearance is first-class and good, even the original Hunan lady, that is not as good as yours, if it weren't for the scar on your face, I don't know how many people you would be fascinated." ”

Lu Yan had heard a lot of this in her previous life, but she really understood in this life that a woman can be beautiful, very beautiful, very beautiful, but if she is beautiful and blind, it is definitely not a good thing, but from ancient times to the present, as long as it is a woman with a stunning appearance, no one will have a good end. Lu Yanwan subconsciously stroked the uneven flying scar on his cheek, and said with a smile: "I'm very glad that I have this scar on my face, otherwise how could I still be as relaxed as I am now." ”

Although Si Qingqing and the others also know that appearance is very important to a woman, it is not a good thing to have a stunning appearance like them.

The day soon came to the eve of the dragon boat race, Lu Huiwan has been helping Qin Qin dance in the past few days, Qin Qin's body is just right after all, she can't be too tired, she took care of a lot of things, and she has a good relationship with Si Qingqing and Shishi, and it is much easier to urge them to practice dancing.

After practicing dance in the afternoon, Lu Yanwan was returning to the bedroom to rest, but Yan Qiu ran over with an anxious look, and didn't even bother to knock on the door, so she came directly into the house, pulled Lu Yanwan's arm and said hurriedly: "Wanwan, it's not good, Fang Caisi Niangzi and Shishi Niangzi were bitten by a snake!" ”

Lu Yanwan immediately stood up, frowned, and asked, "How are they now, how can there be snakes in our workshop?" ”

Yan Qiu was sweating profusely, and said with a crying voice: "I don't know, the two ladies were just walking, and suddenly a snake came out of the grass, first biting the poet lady, Si Niangzi was startled, originally wanted to save the poet lady, but another snake came out and bit her!" ”

Lu Yanwan's face was already very ugly, this thing was really strange, there could be no snake in the workshop, this snake could only be brought in by someone from outside!

"Let's go, I'll go see the two ladies first." Lu Yanwan had already walked out of the house, and she only hoped that the two snakes were not poisonous, and Si Qingqing and the others would not be in danger of life.

Because Si Qingqing and the others were bitten by snakes, the female envoys didn't dare to move them too much, but just took a handkerchief to tie the bitten place tightly, and let the two of them sit on the stones in the courtyard first, waiting for the doctor to come for treatment.

Yan Qiu took Lu Yanwan to the place where Si Qingqing and the two were injured, Si Qingqing and Shishi saw her coming, their expressions were much more relieved, they all knew that Lu Qingwan helped Qin Qin treat her injuries, and they were still very confident in her medical skills.

Lu Yanwan squatted down directly at the feet of the two of them, carefully examined the wound, at this time the bite was already swollen, but fortunately, the blood that flowed out was still a normal color, which proved that the two snakes were not poisonous, Lu Yanwan was also slightly relieved, and first used a needle to stop the bleeding for the two, and then stood up and said to them: "It's okay, it's not a poisonous snake, although the wound is a little deep, but it will be raised for a few days, and it will be fine when the swelling is gone." ”

Si Qingqing and Shishi heard that the snake was not poisonous, and their brows stretched slightly, but they still said with a sad face: "What can I do, Ming'er is a dragon boat race, but I and Shishi are both injured, so ...... perform in front of the palace?"

"You go back and rest first, leave this matter to me and the teacher, and I'll have someone send some ointment later, you apply it every day, it will be faster, and it won't leave a scar." Lu Yanwan had already guessed that today's poisonous snake incident was deliberately done by someone, just to make Si Qingqing and Shishi unable to participate in tomorrow's imperial performance, and the person behind the scenes, she could guess who it was with her toes, but how could she let that person succeed lightly, since she dared to use such a subordinate method, don't blame her for a tooth for a tooth.

Qin Qin also quickly heard the news and rushed over, knowing that Si Qingqing and the two were not in danger of their lives, so they relieved themselves and accompanied her back to the room with Lu Yanwan, and then returned to their room with her.

"Wanwan, what do you think about this?" Qin Qin's face was full of coldness, and he asked Lu Yanwan in a loud voice.

"Hmph, it's just a despicable trick used by some people, I really thought we wouldn't know her purpose." Lu Yan snorted coldly and said his thoughts directly.

The expression on Qin Qin's face suddenly became a little complicated, and after a while, he spoke: "I really didn't expect that she would do such a thing, in vain I have taught her for so many years. ”

Lu Yanwan knew that Qin Qin must be uncomfortable in her heart, after all, Shi Jingyao was taught by her, and now that she did such a thing, Qin Qin must blame herself in her heart.

"Teach Xi, this matter has nothing to do with you, although you taught her, but her nature is like this, you can't help it, now let's think about it, what to do with tomorrow's imperial performance."

Qin Qin's brows were about to wrinkle into "Chuan", and after thinking for a long time, he said helplessly: "If Qingqing and Shishi only hurt one, it would be fine, and it would be a big deal to change it to one of them dancing solo, but now that both of them are injured, and Red Peony is not able to take the lead alone, this matter is really difficult......"

Lu Yanwan sneered again, and said slowly: "I think that Shi Jingyao is the idea of dancing solo, so that she can dominate and let the emperor notice her, if I am not mistaken, after a while, she will take the initiative to come to you to be willing, for the sake of the workshop, she also wants to make up for this lack of righteousness." ”

Qin Qin was also very angry in her heart, and naturally she didn't want Shi Jingyao to succeed, so she said in a heart: "Wanwan, you can go up!" ”

Lu Yanwan obviously didn't expect Qin Qin to make this decision, she was slightly stunned, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No!" No way! I can't, I'm not a female ji in the workshop, and my face is like this, how can I get on it, don't joke about it. "It's too late for her to avoid Li Yan, how could she bump into him.

Qin Qin said with a firm expression: "I have a reason to let you go, you have helped to rehearse the dance in the past few days, you are familiar with the whole dance, as for the scar on your face, you don't have to worry too much, it's a big deal that you and Red Peony will wear veils when the time comes, so you won't be able to see it, it's just an opening performance, and you dance like this every year, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Lu Yanwan still refused: "Teach Xi, I really can't do it......" If there was no Li Yan, she would have been on the hard side, but when she thought that she might face Li Yan from time to time because of this, she didn't want to take this risk.

"Do you really want Shi Jingyao to get this opportunity, if you let Shishi and Qingqing know that they don't want to vomit to death, even if it is for the two of them, you can't agree with Shi Jingyao, you can think about it again." Qin Qin moved out of Shishi and Si Qingqing again, and persuaded without giving up.

Lu Yanwan was really entangled, and he was afraid of seeing Li Yan when he went, and he was unwilling to let Shi Jingyao succeed like this if he didn't go, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Jiaoxi, you let me think about it again, and I will give you an answer early tomorrow morning." ”

Qin Qin also knew that he couldn't force Lu Yan too much, so he nodded, "Then you go back and think about it, haven't you always been bold, why are you afraid at this time." ”

Lu Yanwan smiled bitterly, and didn't know how to explain to Qin Qin, so she could only turn around and leave helplessly, and as soon as she walked out of Qin Qin's room, she saw Shi Jingyao coming towards her, and smiled at Lu Yanwan very proudly, stopped in front of her, and asked slightly provocatively: "Is there something wrong with Wanwan also coming to teach you?" ”

Lu Yanwan's big black and white eyes stared at her for a long time, and Shi Jingyao was a little hairy, and then said slowly: "I will send you seven words, 'If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself', remember to close the doors and windows when you go to bed at night, otherwise no one will know that something will run in." After speaking, Shi Jingyao left, but when she passed by, she sprinkled some white powder on her.

Shi Jingyao's face flashed with fear quickly, but she didn't know what she thought of, she instantly became proud again, glared at Lu Yanwan's back hatefully, and then turned around and entered the house.

Lu Yan returned to the room in the evening, took two boxes of ointment and sent them to Shishi and Si Qingqing, and then took out a small bottle from her body, came to Shi Jingyao's bedroom, and quietly sprinkled some white powder on the window and door of her bedroom. RS
