Chapter 64

64, poppy

The owner of this pair of hairpins is a poppy beauty who was named Jingshi more than ten years ago.

Many years ago, a group of merry scholars in Jingshi wrote a poem called "Yu Beauty", just asking for the favor of the beauty surnamed Yu.

The beauty's father is just an inconspicuous little civil servant in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who has been doing chores and copying documents all his life, and he didn't expect that he would be touched by his daughter's light, and he will soar to prominence.

She went to the yamen to deliver food to her father, and was begged to go home to fill the house by the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at that time.

She was married at the age of sixteen, and her husband was a full twenty years older than her.

climbed into this in-law, and the Yu family has since made a fortune.

Qianqian's impression of her parents is very weak, but she has a deep impression of her. The eldest sister is like a mother, and Qianqian seemed to have spent a little more time with her sister before the Yu family was in trouble.

My sister got married, but she often went back to her parents' house, and then took her out to play. The brother-in-law is old, and he doesn't have the mind of a young man to please the person he likes, but he is very tolerant of his little wife and gives her a lot of freedom, no need to serve her in-laws with tea and water, no need to take care of the children left by her deceased wife, she can do whatever she wants, so people often see the wife of the Yushi family, holding an umbrella across the Mandarin Duck Bridge, and a smile is fascinating.

Qianqian took her hand, and the two sisters walked across the bridge together. When she was young, she looked up at her eldest sister and saw a peach blossom face smiling, but her eyes were cold.

My sister is unhappy, and she has always been unhappy.

Until one day, they walked across the Mandarin Duck Bridge again and saw a young man.

"Sister," Qianqian, who was only four years old, pulled her sister's sleeve and pointed to the young man with grass in her hair and said curiously, "That person has grass on his head." ā€

The elder sister walked over with a smile, looked at the boy from head to toe, and raised her eyebrows: "Sell...... Body? ā€

Qianqian couldn't remember what they said later, and she forgot whether her sister had bought this person, she only remembered that since then, her sister has become very happy.

That's a good thing. Qianqian was also very happy.

My sister took her on a horseback ride. The poppy wears a red riding outfit, and everything around her pales in comparison, but she stands out from the crowd.

She asked people to bring Dawan horses and taught Qianqian to feed the horses brown sugar: "If you feed it, it will listen to you." ā€

Qianqian rode on the Dawan horse, and the slave of the horse farm took the horse and took her to the grass and woods to play, and then her sister was usually gone, and when she came back from riding, her sister would wait for her in the same place, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Come on, we're going home."

On the way home, my sister bought her candy to eat, and always asked her what she would say if someone asked.

Qianqian ate the candy and said with a smile: "Let's just say that Sister will take me to ride a horse!" ā€

"Did I ride with you?"

"Hmmm! Sister has always been with me. ā€

"Good." My sister praised her and gave her an extra piece of candy.

Lying will get sugar, and deceiving people is always sweet. Qianqian has felt that it is good to deceive people since she was a child.

She was too young to notice that every time she came out of the racecourse, the poppie's clothes were always a little messy, her hair was occasionally mixed with grass, and she often lost one earring or something. In fact, maybe she noticed, but she didn't understand it yet, and she didn't understand that she had become a cover for her sister's cheating.

"Sister, your hairpin is so beautiful."

"Do you like it?" The poppy plucked a begonia hairpin, inserted it into Qianqian's double bun, and said with a smile: "When you are ready, I will give you another one." ā€

"What is a contemplation?"

"The woman is fifteen and she will get married after the flute, and I hope that my little sister will find a wishful husband, and the husband and wife will love each other for a long time."

"Has Sister found Ruyi Langjun?"

"Me...... Got it. ā€

Where is Lang Jun? Where is the eldest sister? Where are the parents?

Qianqian held the begonia hairpin, and her eyes were red and painful.

"Qianqian? Thousands? ā€

A familiar voice echoed in his ears, and Qianqian came back to his senses for a long time, raising his eyes to Shang Miaofan's worried gaze: "What's wrong with you?" ā€

"Nothing." Qianqian put away the begonia hairpin, grabbed his arm, and pretended to be nothing: "Uncle Lu is really, and my hairpin is so mysterious and mysterious, I guessed for a long time!" ā€

She couldn't see anything unusual in her hip-hop, and Miao Fan didn't think much about it, and tightened her neckline to shield her from the cold wind.

"Let's go."

They went to the plum hall, and heard that it used to be a private garden, and then somehow started a business, opening the door to welcome guests and enjoying the plum blossoms in winter, and only gave a few dollars to the old slave who watched the garden.

Mei Tang was generously paid by the people today, and no longer received other guests, when Miao Fan and Qianqian came over and heard what other guests said, they retreated.

"Why don't you come back another day? It's not a coincidence today. Miao Fan looked at the post in his hand and sighed slightly, asking for thousands of opinions.

"Hmm...... Good. Qianqian didn't react for a long time, and didn't show much disappointment, trying to make herself laugh, pointing to a red plum sticking out of the wall and saying, "Xianggong folded it to me." ā€

Miao Fan hesitated: "It's not very good......

"If you can't go in and see, why can't you break the branches?" Qianqian twisted him coquettishly, "You can't come for nothing, how nice it looks to fold it back and insert it in a vase, fold it to me-"

Miao Fan was helpless, untied the cloak and handed it to her to hold, walked farther away and ran back, jumped under the flower branches, and reached out to break the plum blossoms.

Qianqian shouted next to him: "Xianggong is so good, so good!" ā€

The branches trembled and the petals withered, falling on the shoulders above his head. He came over and handed the flowers to Qianqian, raised his fingers and carefully brushed away the fallen flowers on his body, and recited a scripture with his lips.

Plants and trees are ruthless beings, flowers flourish freely on the branches, and it is his sin to be destroyed by him for no reason.

When Zhou Tao came out of the plum hall, he happened to see Miao Fan, who was dressed in falling flowers, standing at the root of the wall and chanting scriptures, as beautiful as the spring breeze in March, and couldn't help but shake his heart.

"Let's go." After Miao Fan finished reciting the scriptures, he stretched out his hand to lead Qianqian, and at this time, Zhou Tao hurriedly ran from the rear, "Stay - Tan Gongzi stay!" ā€

Qianqian looked back in confusion and was surprised to see that the person who had come.

What the hell is this!

Zhou Tao panted and ran closer, stopped in front of Miao Fan, bent over to support his knees and gasped for breath, and said intermittently: "Don't, don't hurry...... I—I've been waiting for you for a long time! ā€

"Are you ......" Miao Fan stared at him for a long time before remembering that this was the person in the court, but he forgot his name for a while, so he frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ā€

"You don't remember me?" Zhou Tao was surprised and a little angry, the person he had been dreaming of for a long time had forgotten him, it was really hateful! But he still suppressed his anger and put on a smiling face and was polite: "In the next surname Zhou, a single name is a Tao character, a majestic Tao." ā€

"Hmm." Out of politeness, Miao Fan greeted him, "In Xia Tan Miao Fan." ā€

Zhou Tao smiled: "I know what your name is, and I also know a lot of other things about you." ā€

For example, he used to be a monk in the temple, but later he became vulgar, and then he was lifted in the autumn season, and then went to Beijing to wait for the next year's meeting...... Oh yes, he married a wife halfway through, and it's this sharp-toothed shrew next to him!

Zhou Tao was sullen when he thought about it, and glanced at Qianqian, with resentment in his eyes.

Not to be outdone, Qianqian glared back: "Look at what!" Looking for a fight?! ā€

Zhou Tao didn't fight in one place, pushed his cloak back in a chic manner, and strode forward to "theoretical" with Qianqian, but saw a touch of crow blue getting closer and closer.

He was so frightened that his tongue was knotted: "First first first first ...... Mr! ā€

Zhan Liantai approached slowly, his footsteps creaked on the snow, covering the ground, rolling up a little snow foam, and a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

"Tao'er, what are you doing here?" He opened his mouth to speak to Zhou Tao, but his eyes fell on Qianqian.

She was wearing a peach-colored dress and holding plum blossoms, which was exactly the same as back then.

Zhou Tao stammered: "Student, I, I...... Come and enjoy the plum blossoms. ā€

Zhan Liantai approached and smiled gently: "What about these two?" Do you invite guests? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ No. Zhou Tao lied.

"Not? How can Tan Gongzi have an invitation to the Prime Minister's Mansion in his hand? ā€

Zhou Tao saw that he couldn't hide it, so he lowered his head and picked the corner of his clothes and admitted: "I invited it...... But I just asked him to appreciate the plum blossoms, and I didn't mean anything else. ā€

Zhan Liantai's eyes curved: "That's right, then let's go together." He looked back at Mifan and nodded at him.

Miao Fan was still immersed in the memories of the meeting with him alone, and it took a beat late to come back to his senses and bow his hand: "Miao Fan has seen Master Zhan." ā€

Zhan Liantai raised his hand slightly: "Tan Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, please." ā€

In all fairness, Miao Fan didn't hate Zhan Liantai, although he said a lot of Qianqian's secrets in Jiangzhou, causing disagreement between the two, but what he said was the truth, Qianqian was indeed a liar. Therefore, in Miao Fan's view, Zhan Liantai is just from the position of the government, and he can't tolerate thousands of deceptions, and he has no bad intentions.

At this time, Zhan Liantai took the initiative to invite, and Miao Fan felt that it was not good to live up to the kindness of others, so he nodded: "Lord Zhan, please." ā€

But Qianqian grabbed his sleeve and whispered to him, "I don't want to go." ā€

Miao Fan was puzzled: "For what?" ā€

"If you don't want to, you don't want to ......" Qianqian refused to admit her fear of Zhan Liantai, and made up random reasons, "The snow is too slippery, I'm afraid of wrestling." ā€

"......" Miao Fan sighed helplessly, "Then I'll carry you away." ā€

"Still don't go, don't go, don't go!" She couldn't find an excuse and started making trouble.

Miao Fan had no choice but to apologize and say to Zhan Liantai: "Master Zhan, I'm sorry. My lady is not feeling well and wants to go home, so we won't go to enjoy the plums, you and Zhou Gongzi will go. ā€

Zhan Liantai's smiling eyes swept over Qianqian, and suddenly said: "The jade hairpin on Mrs. Tan's head is very distinct, I don't know which famous person it came from?" ā€

Qianqian was startled, and suddenly raised her eyes to look directly at him.

His face was unwavering, and he said lightly: "The white jade phoenix bird begonia hairpin, madam, the begonia should be red." ā€

Red...... The eldest sister's hairpin was red and stained with blood.

Qianqian's mind was like a howling wind, blowing overwhelming sand and stones, hitting her temples suddenly.

Who is he? What does he have to do with his eldest sister? Why does he have that hairpin?!

opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound, but then Zhan Liantai turned around and said to Zhou Tao, "Tao'er, let's go in." ā€

"Wait!"

She finally changed her mind and followed Zhan Liantai.

"Your Excellency has kindly invited you, how can we brush off your good intentions?"

The author has something to say: Meow, Uncle Jiu himself was abused by Uncle Zhan and Yu Meiren, so he ate two more cakes...... This is the rhythm of being fat!
