Chapter Twenty-Seven: Self-Satisfaction

The guests and hosts were happy, the night was thick, and the banquet of the Xie family was over.

The Xie family and others sent each other outside the door.

"Stay." Dongping County King said.

Xie Wenxing and Mrs. Xie saluted again.

The eyes of the king of Dongping fell on the little girl beside them, and when he saw him, the little girl's gaze immediately avoided it.

It was as if she wasn't secretly staring at him at all.

This kind of look has been familiar to the king of Dongping since he was fourteen years old, and he has been twenty years old now, and there are such girls secretly watching him wherever he goes.

can save people in the turbulent river, can dance the witch dance of the gods, but she is also a thirteen-year-old girl.

The king of Dongping smiled and turned to get into the carriage.

The post station in the night was brightly lit, and the king of Dongping County washed and changed his clothes and took off his majesty, and the plain cloth clothes made him feel a little more peaceful.

"Cheng Zhen didn't come back?" He asked.

"Yes, in the fireworks building in the city." An attendant said.

A dignified prince actually stayed in the fireworks building overnight, even in the ordinary eunuch's house, such a child would be immediately brought back and beaten, but the king of Dongping just hummed, and picked up a book and sat down.

The maids quietly stepped forward to turn on the lamps of a few cases, extinguished the lights in other places, and quietly retreated with their entourage.

The thick night infects the room, leaving only the light next to the bed, in the light, the man wearing plain clothes, wooden hairpins pulling his hair, and looking at the book in his hand with a serious expression is more and more warm as jade, but it looks lonely and cold.

The attendant closed the door, and the heavily armored guards in the courtyard remained motionless, adding a bit of solemnity to the bright lights.

At this time, the fireworks building in Pengshui City is the most lively time, the women walk through it like butterflies, and the sound of warblers, swallows, silk and bamboo songs are full.

"Master, are you really not going back?"

In a luxurious room, four or five female jiji were playing, playing and singing, Zhou Chengzhen's clothes were half open, with her firm chest exposed, lying on the lap of one female ji, and she was smiling and opening her mouth to take the honey fruit fed by another female ji.

A retinue with a dress as neat as his face knelt in front of him and asked.

Before Zhou Chengzhen could answer, the female jiji around her were coquettish.

Zhou Chengzhen laughed and reached out to hold one in his arms.

"How can you bear to go?" He laughed, "Who would have thought that there would be so many beauties in such a small place." ”

These words made the girls laugh even more.

The attendant still looked stern, oblivious to the beautiful light in front of him.

"But what about the eldest son?" He said.

Zhou Chengzhen raised his phoenix eyes.

"Yes, it's pitiful for him to stay at home alone, since his aunt died, he is like a monk." He said, "Why don't you call him over to have fun?" ”

The attendant apparently ignored his words, but the girls laughed.

"Okay, okay, my master called your uncle."

"Master, your uncle can come and play when he's older."

Zhou Chengzhen laughed.

"My uncle isn't very old." He laughed, "It's only two years older than me." ”

The female jigs laughed even more, rubbing and pushing him.

"So young, let him come, let's play together."

"Yes, yes, the master is so good-looking, and the master's uncle must be very good-looking."

Zhou Chengzhen raised her hand and pinched the girl's buttocks.

"It's so ruthless, you think about other men in front of me." He shouted.

There was another coquettish laughter in the room, and the entourage quietly retreated, sitting in the corner, looking at the living spring fragrance here with a blank expression.

The night faded and the morning light grew brighter.

The sacrifice on March 3 has ended perfectly, and a banquet has also been held for the emperor's envoy, and the Xie family's heart, which has been tense for several months, can finally relax and breathe.

At the end of the banquet last night, Mrs. Xie had already announced that everyone in the Xie clan would receive a big red seal, from the drooping old man to the newborn doll, including the lower people, which triggered a new round of carnival, up and down as bright as the light of this March.

Xie Yao saw Xie Rouhui standing in front of the courtyard from a distance, wearing a pink embroidered gold robe and a yellow pleated skirt, looking more and more delicate and bright, at this time she was facing away from this side, and she was stretching out her hand as if she was handing something forward.

But the neighing of a horse shattered the picturesque beauty, and Xie Yao saw Xie Rouhui retreat sharply, and a horse emerged from behind the courtyard wall, shaking her head and tossing and turning.

It was the strength of the reins and the four or five small guards guarding it that didn't let the horse break free, but Rao was so frightened that Xie Rouhui was also frightened.

"Megumi." Xie Yao hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "What's wrong?" ”

"Are you blind? Can't see what's wrong with me? Xie Rouhui scolded with a split head.

The girls around them hurriedly retreated.

Since approaching the third day of March, Xie Rouhui's temper has become more and more eccentric, especially when she even replaced herself and didn't let her dance, but instead fulfilled that Xie Rouqing, did she always understand wrongly, Huihui didn't dislike Xie Rouqing, but wanted to promote her?

Xie Yao took a few steps back and lowered his head.

Xie Rouhui stabilized her mind and glanced at her.

"Still wronged?" She said.

Xie Yao raised her hand to wipe her tears.

"Don't be aggrieved, Huihui, you must have a reason to arrange, if you want to blame me, I'm not as good as her, and I can't help you." She said.

Xie Rouhui already knew the details of the sacrifice, and naturally knew that Xie Roujia replaced Xie Yao with Xie Rouqing.

This is obviously deliberately bad, trying to sow discord and wanting her to carry the blame.

This!

Xie Rouhui sighed.

"I didn't arrange it." She said.

Xie Yao was taken aback.

"Huh?" She looked at Xie Rouhui.

"It was arranged by the old lady." Xie Rouhui said lightly, stroking her hand and looking at the nails on it.

It's not bright enough, so dye it for a while.

Old lady!

Xie Yao's eyes widened.

"Why?" She asked.

The old lady has always cared about family affairs, although she is not close to her children and grandchildren, but she will never embarrass her children and grandchildren, even if she is not in harmony with her grandfather, she has never embarrassed the descendants of Xifu.

Why didn't you like her this time?

"Then who knows, you go and ask your grandmother." Xie Rouhui said casually.

Then whoever dares to ask, just ask, just thank the old lady for her temper, and you will be light-hearted.

Xie Yao wrung his handkerchief and stopped talking.

"Maybe the old lady likes the third sister." Xie Rouhui said, and turned her head to look at the little red horse tied to the side.

That's right, at that time, Xie Rouqing complained to Mrs. Xie that the eldest lady was dissatisfied with Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie came to the house to make a fuss, and Xie Rouqing was naturally Mrs. Xie's person.

Xie Yao gritted her teeth, I don't care who you like, but you can't step on me.

However, it's not Megumi's meaning, and it's a good thing.

She smiled again.

"That's right, the third sister just did a good job." She said.

Xie Rouhui glanced at her, reached out and waved it in front of her nose.

"Sour." She said in a long voice.

Xie Yao smiled and grabbed her arm.

"Megumi." She also shouted in a long voice, "No one likes me, you must like me, what can I do without you." ”

"Not angry?" Xie Rouhui looked at her and said.

Xie Yao smiled and shook her arm.

"Isn't it angry, it's sad." She said.

Xie Rouhui snorted, looking at the horse in front of her who was still neighing and frowned.

"Megumi, what are you doing with this? It's noisy, it's so fierce. Xie Yao said.

Xie Rouhui looked at the little red horse.

"Fierce?" She said, "It's just a brute, what a fierce thing." ”

She took a few steps forward, and the little men were so frightened that they reined in their horses.

"Miss, this horse is very strong." They reminded.

I originally wanted to make this horse my own, but I didn't expect this horse to be difficult to deal with.

It takes time to tame a horse.

Xie Rouhui looked at the little red horse.

She didn't have the time.

In fact, it is not necessary to have a horse, now that the king of Dongping County has recognized her, even if there is no horse, it is nothing, as long as that person is not allowed to have this horse again.

"Go down." Xie Rouhui said.

The little guys led their horses and hurriedly retired.

"Megumi, you're going out on horseback?" Xie Yao asked.

After March 3, Miss Xie no longer has to have such stressful homework, and she doesn't have to worry about danger, becoming the witch chosen by the mountain god, she will have the protection of the gods, she can come and go freely, and she doesn't have to be locked up at home.

"But this horse is disobedient." Xie Rouhui said, "It's really infuriating. ”

Xie Yao was thoughtful.

"Since it's disobedient, let's kill it and replace it with another one." She said.

"You are so ruthless, what kind of killing, it is a knife and blood." Xie Rouhui glanced at her and said dissatisfiedly, "How quiet and happy it is to die after taking some medicine." ”

Xie Yao was stunned.

"Yes, so that the horse will not be sinned, and it is still benevolent." She said busily.

"But is there such a medicine that makes the horse die in pain?" Xie Rouhui frowned and said.

Xie Yao smiled.

"Huihui, the cinnabar for the pharmacists is my father's responsibility." She said, raising her eyebrows, "There is no medicine in the pharmacist." ”

Xie Rouhui looked at her and smiled.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." She said.

Xie Yao gave a gift.

"Although I will disappoint the old lady, I will never let Huihui disappoint you." She said with a smile.

…………………………………………………

Walking on the street, the sky was already bright, and there were obviously more pedestrians, Shao Mingqing slowed down.

The time is just right, now that I have entered the city, I will arrive at Xie's house in a while, except for the time to talk nonsense, and I can rush back to Yushan when it is dark with the little red horse.

As for the time to talk nonsense, the length of time varies depending on who you are looking for.

It takes the least amount of time to find Xie Wenjun, but I have already asked in the sand shop just now, Xie Wenjun went out today, and I don't know where I am going to go and when I will come back.

Then you can only find Xie Wenxing and Mrs. Xie.

It didn't take much time to talk to Old Madam Xie, but it took some effort to meet her.

Xie Wenxing, whether it is to see or to horse, it is the most time-consuming.

Shao Mingqing was lowering his head and thinking about it, when a shout suddenly came from above his head.

"Hey, hey,"

Shao Mingqing raised his head and saw that on the second floor next to him, the window was wide open, and a young man looked over with his hands on the window, his clothes were loose, exposing his shoulders and half of his chest, and his mouth was hooked with a smile.

With this shout, many people on the street looked up, and when they saw this young man, those big girls and little daughters-in-law suddenly blushed, but they were reluctant to look away, half-concealed and half-hidden, and forgot to walk, and the street fell into stagnation for a moment.

Zhou Chengzhen?

Shao Mingqing looked at him with some surprise, and his eyes fell on the plaque on this side of the building.

Leaning on the Red Temple.

This, this kind of place? At this time? What does this look like? This, the prince of this Zhenbei Wang?

Shao Mingqing looked at the young man by the window on the second floor again.

Zhou Chengzhen smiled at him and reached out to hook it.

"Come on." He said. R1152
