The carriage was staggering forward, and outside the carriage, Jia Yuanchun and Baoqin were mixed in the middle of a bunch of girls and mothers-in-law and followed the carriage slowly, and in the carriage Jia Jiu and Xue Baochai were sitting silently, full of worries.

Today, the eldest princess of Duanrong obviously invited a lot of people, out of Ningrong Street, across the two roads, there are more sedan chairs on this road, if the people of the Zhang family are here, they must be able to see that there are many female dependents in the mansion of the eldest princess Duanrong, but most of them are the female dependents of the clan, and there are not many female dependents of the minister's family of civil and military affairs.

When they arrived at the place, Jia Jiu and Xue Baochai found that there were more strangers next to their carriage, and they were not subordinate officials of the princess's mansion.

Jia Jiu squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Alien? ”

Zhao Dong's family hurriedly bent down and said in a voice that could be heard by both girls: "It's from the Wang family, the old slave who came recognized it, and the waist card has also been confirmed." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Big sister is ready?" ”

Zhao Dong's family said: "The big girl is wearing a dance costume, and when she gets to the place, she will go to the outer clothes and add jewelry, and people who don't know how to do it will never find it from afar." ”

Jia Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Got it." Two people to help Sister Bao. Ying'er is young and can't be busy alone. ”

Zhao Dong's family immediately responded.

Of the four nurturing grandmothers, two immediately stood behind Jia Jiu, and the other two took the maidens and sons to settle for the ceremony. Xiaohong naturally wanted to follow Jia Jiu, but Qingwen took someone to follow the nurturing grandmothers to the dressing room prepared for the girls.

At this moment, Xue Baochai knew the importance of manpower, but at this moment he could only thank Jia Jiu.

There was a warbler next to him. You can't leave this little girl in the locker room. It's too strange that a lady doesn't have a girl around her, that is, the girls who need to be alone at the hairpin party, and they also have a girl and a woman from afar. If Xue Baochai wants to take Ying'er. Then his clothes can only be handed over to Jia Jiu's people to take care of.

Although there was some uncertainty in his heart, Xue Baochai's face was still quite calm and said to Jia Jiu: "Second sister, let's go." ”

Jia Jiu nodded, glanced at Jia Yuanchun deeply, and finally walked side by side with Xue Baochai.

This terrible big sister, maybe she won't be able to face each other again in the future, right? I don't know what kind of future he will bring to the Jia family and the two lines of the Jia family. Whether it is an abyss or countless challenges and opportunities, no one knows at this moment. But Jia Jiu believed. got the benefits of the Xue family, turned his head and put Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu together to openly ruin Xue Baochai's reputation, Jia Yuanchun's brain was as rough as his methods and he didn't know what to do. Such Jia Yuanchun can bring good changes to the Jia family. The possibilities are infinite and tend to zero.

However, Jia Yuanchun's stupidity also made it convenient for Jia Jiu to keep his home. If Jia Yuanchun has Xue Baochai's two strokes, then Jia Jiu wants to protect his family, and he doesn't know how much effort he will have to waste.

At this moment. The only thing Jia Jiu is sure of is. If this big sister can't get smarter, it's an unknown how far he can go.

With Xue Baochai registered his name under the guidance of the princess's mansion governor, received the hairpin, and helped each other to put it on, the two walked to the garden, passed the big archway, bypassed the huge rockery, and saw a huge lake in front of them, and the lake was sparkling. In this winter day, the bottom can be seen almost clearly. Under the clear and transparent lake, the entire back garden of the princess's mansion becomes more and more sky-high and wide.

Look around. Most of the girls frolicking around the lake didn't know each other, and a considerable number of them wore hufu clothes, and some showed each other their scimitars and jewels. If it weren't for the fact that more than half of the girls were wearing Hanfu, and if it weren't for the fact that there were many maids in palace costumes on the side, Jia Jiu would have thought that this was a gathering place for the Hu people.

Seeing such a scene, Jia Jiu couldn't help but be a little nervous, and when he turned his head again, he saw a golden-red figure holding an umbrella standing under the huge magnolia tree. Probably because the aura is too strong, this person occupies this piece of magnolia tree, and no one on the side dares to compete with him for territory.

When Jia Jiu saw it, he was overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Sister of the Liang family! ”

The man turned around slowly, who was it not Liang Lihua?

Xue Baochai was wondering if this woman was the young lady of Prime Minister Liang's family, but when he saw the other party's eyes sweeping over, Xue Baochai shivered. Xue Baochai couldn't help but hug his arm. If Ying'er hadn't supported him, Xue Baochai would have fallen long ago.

What is that? What's going on? Who is this person?

Xue Baochai's mind was in chaos, and the whole person couldn't react. On the other side, Jia Jiu had already run to the other party's side with her skirt.

"Xiangbo is like tears, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the jade tree is sad and self-defeating in the wind, and the children of the general horn are invited. Girl, you're messing with my thoughts. ”

Jia Jiucai didn't care, he rushed over and grabbed the other party's sleeve, and said, "I just want to say that my sister is still making fun of me." Is there a sister in my sister's house? ”

Liang Lihua sighed and stayed on Jia Jiu's hand pulling his sleeve, Jia Jiu retracted his hand embarrassedly, straightened up and stood up. I only heard Liang Lihua sigh and said: "Father accompanies me, mother doesn't want to join in this virtual excitement, brother and sister-in-law and nieces and daughters have something to do, so I am the only one to come." ”

Jia Jiu pretended to exaggerate and said: "Sister Liang, you didn't see it, just now when I was receiving the hairpin, I saw that most of the people on the list I didn't recognize, and I didn't know it in my heart, and when I saw my sister, I was relieved." Good sister, please today! ”

Liang Lihua looked at the little girl who was looking up and showing a flattering smile to herself, and sighed in her heart. This girl probably knows a lot of things related to herself from the Daomen. If he really ignored him, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain if he went back in the future, but he was held hostage by a little girl like this, and he was unwilling.

Just as Liang Lihua was about to speak, she saw another girl at the entrance, who also stood in Jia Jiu's position and looked around for a while. When he saw the golden-red figure under the magnolia tree, he was obviously stunned, and when he saw that it was Liang Lihua and Jia Jiu, he was obviously relieved.

Lu Jingzhi came up to greet Liang Lihua and Jia Jiu. He also said: "I only said that I am the only one who was cheated today, but it turns out that I still have you with me, which is really good." ”

Liang Lihua just bowed slightly, it was considered to have seen the other party, and it was obviously very rude, but he was very good-looking and full of momentum. It also makes people feel like he should be like this. It was Jia Jiu who replied with a proper salute before saying, "Sister Lu, why do you say that?" ”

Lu Jingzhi shook her head. Motioned to Xue Baochai and said, "Who is this person?" ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly apologized: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce it to you." This is Wang Ziteng's niece and daughter. I wrote to the Zhang family before, wanting to ask if the two families could act together, who would have thought that luck would not be good. My grandmother's body was not very happy. Even several cousins and cousins in Beijing took leave to go home to serve the sick, and the cousins and nieces couldn't come. This hairpin sticker was sent directly to our old lady, and I could only ask Sister Xue to come with me. ”

The implication is that if it weren't for the fact that Princess Duanrong didn't do things properly, he would have gone to Zhang's house to express his concern, and he wouldn't have come to participate in this inexplicable hairpin party at all.

introduced Liang Lihua and Lu Jingzhi to Xue Baochai: "Sister Bao, this golden and red is the young daughter of Prime Minister Liang, and the one on the side is the beloved daughter of General Lu, the current envoy of the Jingying Festival." ”

I heard that it is Wang Ziteng's niece and daughter. Lu Jingzhi's eyes widened unconsciously, and said, "Sister Bao? Not your cousin? ”

Jia Jiu shook his head. "No, it's another one." ”

Lu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Hello Miss Xue." ”

He knew Xue Baochai's identity. Wang Ziteng's two younger sisters, one married into the Guogong Mansion and the other married into a merchant family, which is not a secret in the army. Even if he is just the daughter of a military general, even if Lu Jingzhi has not received any beautiful upbringing, he is also a lady of the official family, and Xue Baochai, no matter how good and educated he is, no matter how beautiful his behavior is, he is only the daughter of a businessman. Greeting Xue Baochai with his chin head was enough for Lu Jingzhi.

Xue Baochai heard that one was the daughter of the prime minister and the other was the daughter of Wang Ziteng's successor, so he was a little more eager. He also knew that words that were too eager would be offensive, so he tried to greet the other person as gracefully and dignified as possible.

He looks good, even if he is still young, but from this face, you can already see the romantic atmosphere when he grows up. It's a pity that sometimes, just looking good, having a good temperament, but no identity to support it, will only ask for trouble. Xue Baochai's beauty and elegance will only embarrass him.

Also, people like Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are born to be the focus of the world, unlike Jia Jiu and Jia Qian, as long as they are willing, they can make the people on the side unable to find them at all. It's a natural skill for them.

After the ceremony, without waiting for Xue Baochai to speak, Jia Jiu said eagerly: "When I knew that the old lady received this post, I felt that something was wrong. But there are some things I can't say for sure. Sister Fang Cai Lu said that she was cheated, but what is the special reason? ”

Lu Jingzhi said: "It's best for our military general's family not to chirp crookedly with foreign vassals, it's easy to cause trouble." This Duanrong eldest princess said that she was the princess of our Great Qi Dynasty, but everyone knew that he was the concubine of the leader of the largest tribe on the grassland, and he also gave birth to a son for the other party! Looking at the hairpin club on his house, you can know that most of other people's homes are dominated by debates and discussions on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and the subset of scripture and history, that is, there are occasional horseback riding, archery, pot throwing, etc., which are just embellishments, and only the hairpin here will be the opposite. I heard that it was a trivial matter to cause a death at a banquet in his house in previous years! There are a lot of barbarians who come and go here. In any case, my father also led the Jingying, and if people saw me getting too close to those Hu women, my father would be in trouble. Sister Liang, what about you? ”

Liang Lihua slowly spit out seven words: "My father is the prime minister of Daqi." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Could it be that Liang Cheng also has an opinion about this princess?" ”

Jia Jiu wanted Liang Lihua to give him a clear answer, but when he saw that Liang Lihua had turned around and left, he couldn't help but smile. How could you ask such a boring question yourself. Absolutely. If you don't even know this, how can Liang Jian be the prime minister of the Great Qi Dynasty?

Lu Jingzhi pulled Jia Jiu and followed Liang Lihua to the front, and said, "Speaking of which, when I went out today. My father said something very strange, saying yes, don't let people take the hairpin. But the hairpin at the hairpin flower meeting has always been in his hand. But it's a shame. How could my father say this inexplicably? What is the matter in the court, and what does it matter to me? ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "This is really confusing. However, since General Lu would say so, there must be some reason. However, what if someone asks my sister for a hairpin? It's not good for my sister not to give it? ”

Lu Jingzhi said: "Why don't I have a fight with my sister and then lose the hairpin to my sister?" ”

Jia Jiu was stunned, but Liang Lihua suddenly put away the umbrella. And the tip of the umbrella pointed at Jia Jiu with a "swish".

Liang Lihua said: "He is mine." ”

The sudden change startled Xue Baochai. Although Liang Lihua and Lu Jingzhi did not say it explicitly, they had already hinted at the reason for the matter, and eighty percent of it was related to the dispute between the two countries. Combine the life of Her Royal Highness the princess and the age of her son. It is likely that Her Royal Highness the princess wanted to choose a wife for her son. As the young lady of the Great Qi Heavy Minister's family,; Whether it is Liang Lihua or Lu Jingzhi, their marriage is directly related to their family. If it is better if the king gives them a marriage, they can still get a good name. But if there is a scandal at this kind of hairpin party. I'm afraid that it will make people think that they are in Cao Ying, and their hearts are in Han, and they are disconnected from Yi Di Lotus. That would only bring ruin to their family.

As far as Xue Baochai himself is concerned, it is a very decent thing to be favored by the eldest princess, but Xue Baochai himself also knows very well that with his own identity, he is selected, and at most he is just a concubine. Xue Baochai is definitely not willing to be a little concubine. Maybe becoming the concubine of Prince Yidi can bring a new business route to the family, but there is no one in his own family, so he was chosen. It's just cheaper for nothing. And now Xue Baochai is still young, and it is not that there is no other choice. In the case of a fallback option. Xue Baochai was also unwilling to ask for trouble.

Although his identity is not enough, where will there be no shortage of money to fight? If the Xue family is targeted, and they can only consign themselves to a small concubine after offering a large sum of money, then it is called wronged!

Xue Baochai said after weighing it again and again: "Maybe it's a little presumptuous, I also think that General Lu's words have something to say. Since Miss Liang wants to compete with her second sister, why don't we use this hairpin as a bet? In this way, even if someone else asks, we have something to say. ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, and saw that Liang Lihua also happened to come over. Those narrow phoenix eyes carried full of battle intent.

"Liang, Sister Liang, since Princess Duanrong won by martial arts here, there should be a school field, let's go to the school field to have a look. What does Sister Liang want to compare? ”

Liang Lihua smiled slightly and said, "No." We are here than that. ”

"Here?"

Liang Lihua pointed to the lake in front of her with an umbrella, near the lake on this side, there was originally a lotus pond and a bend of Lingzhou, but now it has been withered, but it has not been cleaned up, and it looks more and more desolate. The competition between the lotus pond and the Lingzhou was originally very considerate of everyone's skills, and now this lotus is defeated, if one is not careful, or the reaction is a little slower, it is simply a proper rhythm of the soup chicken, right?

Lu Jingzhi said: "Sister Liang, isn't this too difficult?" ”

Liang Lihua said: "You learned foreign kung fu, so naturally you can't do it." However, I don't have a problem, and neither is this girl. Girl, draw your sword. I can already hear the sound of swords. ”

Jia Jiu wanted to complain: I'll wipe it, I just took out the famous sword and hid it under the jacket, and you heard it! What an ear this is! You are not the fourth master of the wind, and you still listen to the sound of the sword.

But when the words came out, it was: "Sword, I naturally carry it with me, what about my sister's sword?" ”

Answering him, it was a chuckle, the red umbrella was spinning, and when the red mist in front of him dissipated, Liang Lihua was already standing on a withered yellow lotus leaf, in his hand, the red gold painting umbrella was still rotating, and finally, when the streamer stopped, the umbrella had disappeared, and what stayed in Liang Lihua's hand was a red gold and red jade sword. I don't know what kind of material this sword is, but the hilt and the golden color on the sword body add a bit of slaughter to this sword for no reason.

This is a murderous sword, but the killing intent on the sword can be felt from afar.

Only then did Xue Baochai understand what he was afraid of, this was the fear of death. Liang Lihua has a condensed killing intent, but it has been condensed but not released, and it is not a showmanship.

There are many girls frolicking around this lake, and some people actually stand on the withered lotus leaves without borrowing external force, and they also hold a sword that looks not light, and many girls scream.

Jia Jiu sighed slightly exaggeratedly and said, "I see that I don't agree with the hairpin club, why do I have to fight with people every time I participate in the hairpin club?" ”

What answered him was a sword qi that stirred up a column of water and came straight towards Jia Jiu. If it weren't for Jia Jiu's quick reaction and a palm wind, I'm afraid that he would already be singing "The Temptation of Wetness" at this moment.

"It's coming, it's coming."

A lift, a lightweight. Jia Jiu had already flown on another lotus leaf, and with him flying into the air was the famous sword Jin Feng that had been unsheathed.

The girls around ran here one after another, and the first girl to run here grabbed Xue Baochai and said breathlessly: "Fa, what's going on?" ”

Xue Baochai pointed to the lotus pond and said, "The younger sister of the Jia family fell in love with the hairpin of the elder sister of the Liang family, and they gambled." ”

Lu Jingzhi understood in seconds, and immediately said: "Hey, Xue family girl, do you want to bet with me, I bet that the sister of the Jia family will win!" "Lu Jingzhi was once defeated by Jia Jiu's hands, of course she didn't want to see Jia Jiu defeated in the hands of others. As long as Jia Jiu keeps winning, he will not be ashamed.

Xue Baochai said helplessly: "Then I can only bet on the sister of the Liang family?" When the sister of the Liang family put on the lotus leaf, the lotus leaf never shook. However, when the younger sister of the Jia family put on the lotus leaves, not only the lotus leaves swayed, but even the lake was not calm, and even a few lotus leaves around it swayed together. I think the Liang family's sister has a bigger chance of winning. ”

Lu Jingzhi said: "Oh? If Sister Jia wins, I will ask for your hairpin. ”

Xue Baochai said: "Doesn't that mean that if the Liang family's sister wins, I will be able to take your hairpin?" ”

Lu Jingzhi said: "What's not to do? That's it. ”

The girls on the side also found it interesting and placed bets one after another. Of course, most girls don't know anything about superior martial arts, they only know that Xue Baochai is very reasonable, and they all pulled out the hairpin on their heads and pressed it on Liang Lihua's body.

Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi shouted at Liang Lihua: "Sister Liang, your odds are not high, just admit defeat." We can make a lot of money! provoked the girls on the side to laugh and scold him for being a money fan, and he actually cheated blatantly for a few hairpins. There were also a few women in bearded clothes who secretly withdrew the hairpins in their hands.

In the middle of the lotus pond, Jia Jiu asked Liang Lihua: "Sister Liang, do you want to surrender?" ”

What answered him was a sword qi, and with the arrival of the sword qi, it was a fierce sword light.

Jia Jiu hurriedly dodged, but forgot that under his feet were soft lotus leaves, and under the lotus leaves was water, not hard ground. When he stepped on the air, Jia Jiu immediately reacted, and the famous sword Jin Feng flicked, borrowed three points of force on the lotus leaf, and moved back in an instant, until Lingzhou stopped.

Just like that, Jia Jiu's skirt was already soaked, and even his feet faintly felt wet. Without looking down, Jia Jiu knew that his movements were too big, and the upper of the shoe was wet.

Just now, some people thought that these two people were putting on a show, but seeing that Jia Jiu was really moving freely on the water, the girls around them screamed. The lotus pond and the Lingzhou look like they are next to each other, but in fact they are separated by at least four feet of water. In winter, the water is very cold and clean, and everyone can see that there is nothing underwater. The ripples on the surface of the lake are also very natural and easy to see.

At this moment, the girls were all excited, and they called friends one after another, and came to watch, and even the male guests who were elsewhere were also alarmed.

One of the girls secretly dealt with the handkerchief on the side: "Wow, these two are really sassy." One was golden-red all over, and his clothes were golden-red, and even his sword was golden-red; The other clothes are okay, but this sword, this should be a sword specially made according to his figure, right? Didn't you say the three-foot Qingfeng? And it's also golden, with a bunch of gold tassels hanging up. If they weren't fighting on this water, I really thought they were acting. ”

The girl on the side hurriedly pulled him: "You be quieter." They can hear it. (To be continued......)
