Chapter 190: The lady refuses to be invited
Xu Man'er is radiant, her eyes are full of water, and when she doesn't gossip, she looks like a beautiful girl; After greeting Miss Su for a few words, she found that there was a girl beside her, so she squinted her eyes and asked kindly, "Which lady is this?" I've never seen it before. ”
was asked by such a special name, Su Yingyue hurriedly smiled and blessed her body, "I am a girl from Su Mansion, the third in line, and I rarely go out of the house, so the girl of the Xu family has never seen me." ”
Su Nianyu nodded and said with a smile: "My third sister is afraid of life, so she rarely shows up outside, I think I can't go on like this, so I want her to practice her courage in this banquet." ”
As soon as Xu Man'er heard this, she knew that Miss Su had the intention of taking Miss Su San, so she glanced at the girl who was standing quietly, and praised with a smile: "Miss Su San is very well-behaved, and she looks so quiet, but she is much better than that person." ”
Su Yingyue only laughed with her, knowing "who" in Xu Man'er's mouth, but she didn't dare to talk; Su Nianyu also didn't expect Xu Man'er to be so open-mouthed and directly insinuate the second sister.
Come to think of it, Xu Man'er is haunted by what happened in Wang's Mansion before.
Fortunately, now the second sister "sent" Wang Xuan into the house, otherwise, the two would have to make trouble at the gate of the house.
Thinking that the time is not right today, otherwise, she would have to set up a table on the side to make a pot of tea and knock some melon seeds to watch.
After standing and talking to Xu Man'er for a few more words, he sent the right-hand man who had been waiting by the side for a long time to lead her into the house.
As soon as he turned around, he smiled and said to Su Yingyue: "Isn't the third sister doing a good job?" You just have to keep going like this. ”
Su Yingyue smiled. Because of Xu Man'er's departure, his face relaxed a little, "...... In fact. I was very nervous. After thinking about it, he was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I almost had weak legs, for fear that the girl of the Xu family would dislike my identity enough, but I didn't expect her to be kind to me......
Su Nianyu smiled, and saw that although Su Yingyue was ashamed, her eyes were bright. The respect she had earned to come to her delight made her very happy.
She didn't say anything more, and stood at the door of the mansion waiting wholeheartedly for the other ladies of the boudoir to come to the door.
I thought that the people who would come next should be endless, and I didn't think about it. After a long time, there were only a few people who followed Xu Man'er, except for Pan Jingruo, there were two or three lively official ladies. They were all taken into the house.
Su Yingyue didn't look right. opened her eyes and whispered: "Big sister, there seem to be a lot of invitations sent out that day, but there are not as many people as I imagined today......" Before he finished speaking, he happened to see the frowning brows of the eldest sister beside him, and he knew that this situation was not very good.
Busy with his mouth, his eyes flashed and he racked his brains to find a reason to come out, "Certainly, it must be that they have made an appointment to come together, so." Not many people are here now—"
Su Yingyue was about to cry, and she felt that she was really slow.
The big sister held a banquet. Isn't it obvious that no one came on that day? It must be because people won't come...... She still doesn't open which pot to mention, isn't this causing chaos for the big sister?
Su Yingyue thought about it, so she blamed herself, looked at the frowning girl on her side, and said in a low voice: "Big sister, I didn't mean to." ”
He lowered his head, thinking that if the eldest sister was in a bad mood, she was willing to let her scold her to relieve the pressure in her heart; In the end, I also know that if a girl from another family encounters such a thing, she will definitely feel faceless, and it is understandable that she will be sad.
In her case, she was also very distressed.
…… After preparing for so long, in the end, it was a bamboo fetch.
Su Nianyu was frowning and thinking about things, but she was suddenly made to cry and laugh by her third sister: "Third sister, you think too much, you haven't done anything wrong, where did you come from intentionally or unintentionally?" What's more, what you say is also true. ”
Su Yingyue also knew that the current situation was not optimistic, and she couldn't take care of self-blame, so she was so anxious that there was a trace of tears in her eyes: "Big sister, if this situation happens, how can I solve it?" ”
Su Nianyu condensed her eyebrows, but she didn't speak, she just looked far away, and she was also thinking in her heart.
Thinking that no one had come for a long time, I knew that the ladies of the boudoir who had been invited by her were still holding a wait-and-see attitude.
Although she is the daughter of Sufu, her reputation was severely damaged because of her previous reputation, and she recovered a little later, but those gossips in the market are true and false, and those young ladies are unwilling to take this risk to befriend her, and they may not damage their reputation because of this, so the gains outweigh the losses.
I don't dare to return the invitation casually.
Although the reputation of the daughter of Su Mansion is not very good, but the father of the family is a Su bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, if she does this, it is the next policy to make the two sides grudge; So, I could only hold the invitation of the other family and stay until that day to see if there were many people going to the banquet.
If there are many people who go, they will follow. If there are not many people who go, then they can-
"Girl, the daughter of the Fengtianfu Cheng family on Dongxiangkou Street replied to the invitation, saying that it happened that a sister came to the mansion as a guest, and the banquet couldn't come, so she specially sent someone to apologize."
*
Ling Shubai has been very troubled recently.
Speaking of which, he knew that the eldest girl of Su Mansion held a banquet on June 10, and these were thanks to his secret guards.
Even if he wanted to, he would know exactly what she had done at that hour that day.
If he wants to know, he can call someone in and ask him to get the most detailed answer.
However, he was really troubled.
He got up early in the morning of June 10 and sat behind the desk in a coat, the wind blowing in from the window still carrying the coolness and humidity of the morning, hitting his face for a while.
But he remained motionless, his dark hair was slightly messy over his shoulders and back, and he looked like a restless master who slept.
The picturesque delicate man just pursed his beautiful red lips, held a brush placed on the desk in his hand, and unconsciously drew circles; There seemed to be a little confusion in his eyes. His eyes moved, and a circle of neat and beautiful eyelashes drooped, and the tails of his eyes turned up bewitchingly.
I sat like this for a while. The secret guard hidden in the shadows couldn't help but talk softly.
The dark guard was shocked: "You say, why is the prince like this?" ”
Dark Guard pretended to be restrained: "It must be for that." ”
The dark guard's eyes widened: "No......"
Darkguard was confident: "How could it not? Definitely, yes! ”
Suddenly, there was a dark figure on the beam, and the two secret guards who had just ignited the fire of gossip hurriedly shut up and saluted the new person with fists.
The man listened to all the words of the conversation between the two of them, and couldn't help but warn in a cold voice: "The matter of the son of the world, Hugh has to speculate!" ”
The two dark guards looked startled and replied. Hurriedly jumped on the beams of the house and disappeared.
The head of the secret guard who had come to take over watched the man leave with a straight face, and then focused his attention on the man who was still sitting quietly behind the desk; This turned his head and leaned out, and a trace of gossip flashed in his eyes. How can there be a cold expression on his face?
If it weren't for the sword on his waist nested on the beam, he looked murderous from a distance, making people dare not make a mistake, and it was normal to be regarded as a gentleman on the beam.
I saw him muttering to himself: "...... They talked about it a lot. I think it's for that, too. ”
The Dark Guard didn't have time to think further. Then he saw the man turn in his direction with a wooden face, and his voice sounded softly: "Gray wolf, come down." ”
The gray wolf is the name of the leader of the Dark Guard.
Originally, he didn't have this name, but at the beginning, the prince gave him a name called Wolf, which originally meant a wolf that was terrifying, but this barking always felt a little weird; Later, the prince was guided by his roundabouts. finally found that this name was easy to cause misunderstanding, so I simply changed his name to a new name called Howling Wolf.
But after he pondered it. almost cried, and after all his efforts, he got the title of the gray wolf behind.
Now, as soon as he heard his master calling him, the gray wolf shook his body a few times, and then stood in front of him without blushing and panting.
"What does the master command?"
The man rubbed his forehead, and a few strands of green silk crossed his impeccable side face and fell on his red lips, and there seemed to be a trace of confusion and confusion in his voice: "...... These days, I always feel a lot of pain in my head, and I always think about what to do. ”
When the gray wolf heard this, his face was indifferent, but he was roaring in his heart: Sure enough, the master was annoyed by her, and he was so annoyed that he was thinking about it early in the morning, thinking about it day and night, and it was time to share his worries for the master!
The gray wolf was in a surging mood at this time, but he pretended to have a stern face, "Shizi, let the gray wolf say a few words." ”
Ling Shubai raised his eyes, "You say." ”
The gray wolf said: "For this matter, the gray wolf feels that the son of the world does not need to worry so much. After a pause, he glanced at the master cautiously, and found that the master was indifferent, and then continued, "After you came back from Puying Temple, Princess Rong'an ran to the Hou Mansion twice in three days, and the master always drove her back to the palace these days, which will definitely cause her to rebel, and then she will come to you even harder, so you might as well ignore her, she will naturally not be able to stay after she is bored......"
The gray wolf's face was very deep, but in his heart he was secretly happy with his good ideas.
It is really not easy for his master to endure the noise of Princess Rong'an since he was a child, and now, if he really helps his master solve this important matter, it will be a good thing.
But the man's action of rubbing his forehead suddenly turned into touching his chin, and he opened his clean eyebrows and thought about it: "Hmm, have I taken care of her?" ”
Gray Wolf: "......"
The gray wolf instantly felt that he didn't know what to say.
The man continued, "What's more, what's there to worry about? She said hers, I slept mine. ”
Gray Wolf: "......"
So, in the past two days, the secret guard has been privately circulating in the secret guard about what is going on with the master, are they all wrong?
Even he, a master who was once praised by his master for "doing a good job" for gossip, was planted?
The gray wolf silently wiped his sweat and did not speak.
Ling Shubai frowned slightly, and said, "...... It was her first time hosting a banquet, and I always felt like I had to go. ”
The gray wolf was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of Miss Su, and said, "It's a small party between the girls' families, and if the prince goes, it doesn't seem to be good?" ”
"But I want to go, but I have to." Ling Shubai is serious.
The gray wolf asked, "Why?" ”
Ling Shubai said: "Because the right eyelid has been jumping." ”
The gray wolf thought for a moment, and his tone changed slightly, "The right eye jumps." ”
Ling Shubai hummed and replied as a matter of course, "So this banquet should be quite interesting, why don't I go?" ”
The gray wolf opened his mouth, but he was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to respond; After reacting, I realized that I was once again dizzy by the prince.
"So," when the gray wolf was still dizzy, Ling Shubai spoke again, he looked at the bright sky outside and said, "How long will it take for Rong An to come?" ”
The gray wolf's eyes widened.
I don't know if the son of the world is getting more and more tricky, or if his intelligence has deteriorated, or if he heard it wrong?
The prince was looking forward to Princess Rong'an coming to find him?
When the gray wolf was puzzled, Ling Shubai looked at him and said calmly: "If I don't take her, will it be possible that I will go to the mixed women's party by myself?" ”
The gray wolf's whole person was already showing a cracked appearance, but Ling Shubai looked out the window by himself, and said faintly: "Besides, didn't you follow those invitations one by one to inquire about the attitudes of those people in the past towards this banquet?" Somebody has to come forward......"
As soon as the voice of the person who walked to the window fell, he suddenly muttered to himself again: "Well, by the way, I have to quickly let Liangzhu come into the house and help me find what clothes to wear-" looked up at the dumbfounded dark guard, "You will go out and help me call Liangzhu in." ”
Before Ling Shubai's tail note fell, the gray wolf disappeared in a flash.
It's horrible! Is this still their self-acting amateur nature and vain as the sky falls, and his face will not change? If you want to go to Su Mansion, you will consider taking Princess Rong'an to avoid suspicion, oh no, that's not the point, the point is-
The incomparably handsome and noble son of his family is actually going to save Miss Su!
And on the Su Mansion's side, after receiving the tactful refusal of the six boudoir ladies in a row not to come to the banquet, Su Nianyu's smile faded.
Su Yingyue encountered such a situation when she participated in the banquet for the first time, and she couldn't help but be anxious.
“…… Why, why can't you say it all of a sudden at this time? She was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the spot, "If one or two have something to do temporarily, it's just one after another, as if they were discussing to do this together." ”
Su Nianyu was not annoyed or troubled, and said softly: "...... There is indeed no shortage of negotiables. ”
Those boudoir ladies looked around for a long time, and saw that there were very few people who came to the banquet, and there must have been some boudoir ladies who had more private contacts to exchange letters and discuss what to do, so they were relieved to let the family send a reply to the refusal.
What kind of body is not well, what is the guest at home, what is going to go to the incense, what do you want to do, all the boudoir ladies just picked the moment when the banquet was about to start "Something happened", is she really stupid? It's just a prevarication. (To be continued......)
