Chapter Ninety-Nine
Cui Wanqing's mood at the moment is extremely happy and sweet, her steps are light, as if with a gust of wind, and the Jinling sisters behind her have to speed up their pace to keep up with her.
She has spring in the corners of her eyes, a smile on her lips, and a pair of big watery eyes, which are as bright as the brightest morning stars in the sky.
Fortunately, she still knew that at the gate of the courtyard, she stood on her feet a little, and tried her best to calm down her excitement, otherwise, with her spring breeze on her face, it would be strange that Mother Xu couldn't see the clues!
On the second floor, Cao Tang was sitting opposite Ah Tao, the two were playing backgammon, it seemed that Cao Tang was very happy, his little face was flushed, and he was smiling very happily.
But Ah Tao pouted, cautiously looking at the chess pieces.
Needless to say, it must be Cao Tang who won and Ah Tao lost, Cui Wanqing couldn't help but smile and raised her voice: "Yulan, go get two hundred big money, let Ah Tao accompany Miss Cousin happily, happily." ”
As soon as she spoke, Ah Tao hurriedly got up and saluted first, "Miss." You come back to pull. Then he humbly said: "It was the maid who played with Miss Cousin, how could I let you take the money?" ”
Cao Tang smiled and pressed Ah Tao back into the chair, deliberately twisted his head and said: "Silly girl, your master has money, and she gives it to you, then you take it, how can you push the money out of your hand, what a fool." ”
Cui Wanqing said to Ah Tao with a smile, "It's okay, you just have to play with it, you little girl, how much money do you have to accompany her to lose?" ”
"It's not necessary for me to be my cousin's money, and your cousin can win her happiness, right?"
Cao Tang looked at Cui Wanqing and smiled, suddenly stood up and asked in surprise, "Oops." Cousin Qing, what's wrong with your eyes? It's so red! ”
Cui Wanqing sighed, "Hey, it's not Master Zhiran, obviously he is preaching the scriptures, but when he tells the story of the Bodhisattva living by himself, the people who listen to it can't help but cry." ”
"But it's really touching, why don't I tell you about it later?"
"Don't!" Cao Tang was so frightened that she waved her hand again and again, she was most afraid of listening to these boring Buddhist stories, so she quickly made an excuse and said: "I still have to play chess with Ah Tao!" ”
"Cousin Qing just gave her two hundred big money. It's going to take me a while to win. I'm afraid I don't have time to listen to it today, so let's change the day, another day. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Ah Tao to work on backgammon. Don't talk to Cui Wanqing anymore.
Cui Wanqing shook her head and smiled. I went back to the back room. Jin Ling withdrew with her sister, and listened to Yinling's admiring words: "Our young lady is capable, and two sentences will make Miss Biao not mention the stubble of her eyes." ”
Jin Ling nodded and said, "Miss is very powerful." Sensible and polite, and very tolerant, you, look at how the young lady treats people, and when she gets married in the future, she will take care of her own family, so that she can take care of that big mess of trivial things for her husband. ”
Yinling blushed and chuckled, but this was in her heart, her brother-in-law once told her that if Yinling was willing, in the future, she would find a suitable young guard from the left and right guard camps and be a husband for Yinling.
She is only one year younger than Jin Ling, and when the agreement with the prince reaches the deadline, she can marry both and live her own small life.
Her sister asked her to learn more with Cui Wanqing, it was for her good, and Yinling really began to pay attention from this moment on.
Cui Wanqing in this side of the box easily solved Cao Tang, and he didn't mention it when he went to change clothes and rest, Qi Xuanhui in this side of the box was also very happy.
With a rare smile, he went back to his room, and he followed the curtain lifted by Chen Ze and looked inside.
Okay, Han Ning and Yan Shibai are both in the living room, one sitting on the official hat chair on the left hand side, and the other sitting on the official hat chair on the right hand side.
These two, one is a snow-white goose feather fan in his hand slowly, and the other is comfortably holding a pink porcelain tea cup and sipping tea.
It's each doing its own thing, no one cares about anyone, and the atmosphere that should be embarrassing is made extremely natural by the two of them, and it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable at all, and it's really skillful.
Qi Xuanhui couldn't help but wonder, although he didn't want Yan Shibai to put himself aside and make friends with Han Ning, but he didn't expect that these two people would be so disagreeable in terms of fame.
In the past, he still thought about whether Yan Eighteen, who threw himself on his side, because of Zhang Shouzheng's relationship, would be careful to be a man, and find a way to reconcile with Mr. Han Ning, who had a conflict.
After the two reconciled, Yan Shiba, a smart person, would go to Han Ning's side for some reason.
But judging from the current relationship between these two people, his little caution is purely overthinking.
Qi Xuanhui ignored that these two people themselves are amazing and brilliant people, both of them are witty, they are leaders among their peers, those around them, and even their peers.
The two of them are either the best in the capital, or they are sought after in Jiangnan, both of them are too good, and they each have their own careful thoughts.
In a certain way, they are still standing on the opposite side, so it is inevitable that there will be a dispute between Yuliang, the so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, which is the current situation of these two people.
If Zhang Shouzheng, a person who is involved with both of them, can mediate a little from it, let Han Ning not target Yan 18 too much, and then let Yan 18 respect Han Ning everywhere, so that the two of them will not be able to ease up slowly.
But the problem is that now Zhang Shouzheng is not there, but Gao Dengshan is here, this one is bent on advancing and retreating with Qi Xuanhui, and when the two of them speak in private, Gao Dengshan is inevitably biased towards Qi Xuanhui.
It is indispensable to share Han Ning is here to spy on Qi Xuanhui, such things that are taboo to say, with his old friends.
As a result, it can be imagined that not only is it not good for the relationship between the two, but it also makes the rift even bigger.
Anyway, according to Qi Xuanhui's observation, Gao Dengshan's influence on Yan Eighteen is definitely not less than that of Zhang Shouzheng.
Since these two people talked at night and stayed awake for two nights in a row, Yan Shiba's original unwilling mentality of being forced to hibernate has changed a lot.
At least this person is polite when facing Qi Xuanhui now. Always respectful, no longer sour smirk, no longer showing the fangs on his body, looking gentle and easy to get along with.
Just the day before they left, Yan Shibai deliberately pulled Gao Dengshan and discussed the relevant matters on the road with Qi Xuanhui.
Looking at his words and actions, he still paid attention to Qi Xuanhui's safety.
Even when Qi Xuanhui didn't speak, he spoke and let the two young ladies stay in Jiangyuan County. Wait until they're done. It's never too late to play together.
After Qi Xuanhui changed his attitude, he found that once this person settled down, his demeanor and demeanor could be said to be completely different, and he could be filled with the word chic.
plus Qi Xuanhui's disguise master. In order to give him a makeover. Hide tracks. Shaved his long beard.
At this moment, Yan Shibai is at least a dozen years younger, and this figure is maintained very well. The appearance is extremely elegant.
A pair of slightly raised Danfeng eyes, when squinting at people, are simply fascinating.
It is not difficult to imagine how young and elegant the son of the Yan family more than ten years ago was, and his graceful demeanor made countless people fall in love with him.
Qi Xuanhui admitted that he was a layman who liked beautiful things, and Yan Eighteen's excellent appearance and elegant manners pleased him to a large extent.
The initial impression of this person has quietly changed unconsciously.
He felt that no matter what, at this stage, there was still every hope that they could work together, after all, what the two sides wanted to deal with was the same person.
This trip to Qionghua Mountain is a consideration of Qi Xuanhui for Yan Eighteen, but why is it not a test set by Yan Eighteen for Qi Xuanhui?
Qi Xuanhui was in a good mood, that sweetness, that touching, that joy, he didn't need to say anything, just by looking at his inseparable eyes, he understood everything.
I really didn't think that as soon as I returned to my room, I would have to face such a battle before I had time to taste the pleasure just now.
"Can you still let people live in peace?" Qi Xuanhui pouted helplessly, and the smile on his face disappeared.
He threw these thoughts of his mind away for the time being, accepted the salute of Yan Eighteen and Han Ning, sat down in the mahogany carved wreath chair on the main seat, and asked softly: "The two of you came here at this time, I don't know what happened?" ”
"Sir, you might as well speak first."
It's obviously a common sentence, and it also means 'the elderly first'.
But in the eyes of these two people below, they were born by the two of them, and they tasted different tastes.
Han Ning naturally felt that Qi Xuanhui still respected him the most, so he asked him to take the lead in saying his intentions, and he felt quite satisfied with Qi Xuanhui's respect, whether it was true or not.
As for Yan Eighteen, he felt that Qi Xuanhui was treating himself as his own person, polite to the guests, and letting the guests speak first, which was also very natural.
He talked a lot with Gao Dengshan, and Gao Dengshan did not tell Qi Xuanhui's true identity, but it did not hinder him in the slightest, and he put the idea of rejecting Han Ning, an outsider, on Yan Eighteen.
What does it mean to be a common enemy? Yan Eighteen didn't need Qi Xuanhui's affirmation at all, he had already consciously and spontaneously pulled Qi Xuanhui to his side.
Han Ning glanced at it with satisfaction, and Yan Eighteen, who was sitting calmly opposite, said with a light smile: "Childe, according to the current speed, in about two days, you will be able to reach the vicinity of Qionghua Mountain." ”
"Before leaving, the son instructed Li Hongjie and them to go to Jiangyuan County to arrange a place to live, the old man wanted to come and ask the son, this trip to Qionghua Mountain, the two young ladies are still going?"
"If the young ladies don't go, who do you plan to let stay in Jiangyuan County to take care of the two young ladies?"
Qi Xuanhui did not deliberately hide Han Ning in most things, and acted very openly.
It's not that he has such a personality, but because Qi Xuanhui clearly knows that whether it is his maid, the little maid, or the one he carefully selected, among the thirty guards, there is indispensable eyeliner under the cloth in the capital.
As the old saying goes, in order to avoid some unnecessary suspicions, it is better to make these things transparent and save complications.
To put it mildly, the current Qi Xuanhui is already dual-minded, and most of this thought is spent on Cui Wanqing.
The other half is also seriously pondering how to win the fate of this trip smoothly.
For the side things, it is easy to carry and do, but I definitely don't want to spend too much energy on these.
No matter what kind of considerations are there, for Han Ning, it is still necessary to generalize, of course, this does not prevent Qi Xuanhui from finding something to block Han Ning's heart from time to time.
Therefore, Han Ning knew that Jiangyuan County was the place to settle for this trip, but he didn't know what kind of arrangement Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang would make at that time.
He knew in his heart that this Qionghua Mountain, which was announced by people but had no trace in the books, would definitely have a good show, and naturally he had to worry about whether this trip could be successfully completed.
Now that he can come and ask such a question, it means that he still regards Qi Xuanhui as his master, so he will think about Cui Wanqing, who Qi Xuanhui cares about, to settle properly.
He just didn't want other emergencies to affect Qi Xuanhui's decision, but he never expected that this was not biased, coincidentally, and it happened to run into Yan Eighteen.
It is undeniable that Han Ning is a little dissatisfied with Yan Shiba, who is suddenly much younger and more chic.
Because of this person, all the bad water in his stomach fell into the lair of the water bandits.
Zhang Shouzheng is injured, and his personality is so upright, can he get along with the water bandits who plague the people?
As for his temper that doesn't know how to turn, in the bandits' den, he doesn't know how many people he has offended, and what kind of sad life he lives.
This culprit is good, the dress is called a heart, and the small life is called a pleasant, which makes people feel that it is very unhappy!
Yan Eighteen, an insider, after listening to Han Ning's question, had no self-ability, so he answered this question for his master before Qi Xuanhui answered.
His eyes lowered slightly, looking at the big ice cauldron in the corner of the wall diagonally, slightly distracted, but the corners of his curved lips still slightly revealed his happy emotions.
When Qi Xuanhui saw Han Ning come to ask in person, he could be regarded as accepting his care, and he didn't think about continuing to hide it.
He shook his head and said: "Qionghuashan and his party are quite difficult to go, the Cui family, the two young ladies of the Cao family, don't follow." ”
"However, Second Master Cui should still go for a turn, so I thought, leave Huang's mother to Miss Cui, and when the time comes, she will take care of her, and there will be no worries for ten days and half a month."
Han Ning knew Huang's mother's true identity, and he also felt that such an arrangement was very thoughtful, and he could figure out why Qi Xuanhui wanted to bring Cui Yongzhong with him, it was just because of Miss Cui Jiu.
Seeing a dignified prince Chitose, for the sake of a little woman with a mediocre appearance, so painstaking and thoughtful, Han Ning really admired Qi Xuanhui for being so affectionate. (To be continued......)
