In the Dingbo Pavilion, visitors have come one after another, and the principal in the palace has not yet arrived.

In the back garden of the Dingba Museum, there is a natural lake, which is rare for living water to drain, and this is the only place.

This exquisitely repaired Feng Shui annex was awarded by the emperor or the prince of Jinshang, and later succeeded to the throne and gave it to his younger brother King Xiang.

On weekdays, outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave the Dingbo Hall casually, and only on a good day like today, it is rare to be lively.

On the shore of the lake, several water pavilion flower houses, the figure is sufficient, on the lake, zigzag across a bridge corridor, the bridge is densely lit with lanterns, like a colorful dragon lying on the water.

In the middle of the lake, there is an octagonal pavilion, in which a musician, strings and bell pipes, sound on the lake, fairy music fluttering.

Xin Liu met Situ Qinglan who had made an appointment outside a flower house, and there was also a Miss Ning who came with her, and the three girls walked around on the bridge together.

At this time, on the bridge deck, there are many clothes and sideburns, dazzling eyes.

The girls invited tonight are all carefully dressed, with new clothes and new accessories, not to fight for the only two golden jade hibiscus, but also to show their demeanor at this annual banquet, not to fall behind her.

"Look there, there's a big bunch of koi!"

Xin Liu lay on the railing of the bridge, leaned over and pointed to a large wave of carp swimming under the bridge, which was illuminated by the lights on the bridge, as if a huge colored cloud was floating under the inky black water.

When Situ Qinglan saw it, she couldn't help but admire: "Such a group of three-color red domes, in addition to the palace garden, I am afraid that it can only be seen in the Dingbo Pavilion, I raised a pair last year." It's in the feng shui pool, and it's far less colorful than in this lake. ”

At this time, there was a laugh next to him, "This girl is very knowledgeable, and the koi fish are indeed the best living water." ”

Situ Qinglan turned around, and saw a young man standing a few steps away, looking upright and generous, nodding politely at them, but his eyes obviously fell on a yellow dress. Situ Qinglan, who has a light and elegant appearance.

Situ Qinglan's face was slightly red. Some of them took half a step back in a cramped way, and were about to salute when they heard Xin Liu call out someone:

"Second Brother Qi, why are you alone. What about the little lord? You two are not inseparable. Isn't Meng out of focus? ”

The person who came was Qi Mingxiu, the second young master of the Qi University Scholar's Mansion. And the little lord in Xin Liu's mouth is the little son of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, Ruilin is also.

Qi Mingxiu retracted his gaze and said helplessly to Xin Liu, who had a lively temperament: "Ruilin is going to bring my sister with me today." I didn't walk with him, not to mention that we are just little brothers, and it is true that we often interact with each other, how can we be as slimy as you say. ”

Xin Liu pouted and said, "Grand Prince Xue and Feng Zhaomiao are brothers, and they are not as affectionate as the two of you. ”

"Ahem," Qi Mingxiu glanced at Situ Qinglan embarrassedly, and Xin Liu couldn't help but continue to speak openly, hurriedly changing the topic and asking:

"I don't know which lady this girl is, can you tell me your surname?"

There is a huge Anling City, some people have lived for more than ten years, raised their heads and bowed their heads, but they have never seen each other, especially between men and women, only hearing its name, not seeing its face.

Situ Qinglan was born in a family in the end, and he was a little older, so he was not shy and rude, and bowed to Qi Mingxiu Yingying, and said:

"My surname is Situ."

Xin Liu interjected: "Sister Situ is a student of our Taishi Academy, an eighth-rank Yi Master, and her grandfather is an academician Fang who teaches thaumaturgy. ”

"It turned out to be Miss Situ, and she was rude when she was under Qi Mingxiu." Qi Mingxiu also waved his hand at Situ Qinglan.

It was a strange man and woman, who met for the first time at this banquet and inquired about the name of the net worth, and the same situation did not only happen in this place.

Qi Mingxiu can speak well, and soon borrowed the topic of koi carp to talk to Situ Qinglan, Xin Liu couldn't interject, but Miss Ning was a little aware of it, Lala Xin Liu, to go aside.

Xin Liu was puzzled: "Just talking, what are you pulling me for, Sister Situ is still there." ”

Miss Ning whispered to her: "Shhh, you Han Liu'er, I didn't see Second Master Qi and I didn't bother to take care of you and me, people are here for Miss Situ, and we are on the side, isn't it in the way." ”

The two stood far away, Xin Liu looked back at Qi Mingxiu and Situ Qinglan again, and felt that Qi Ershao was very attentive tonight, and then turned his head to look at the various young men and women on the bridge, and at some point, there were a few more pairs of figures.

"Bah," she took a sip and rolled her eyes, "It's really boring, I knew I wouldn't be able to come." ”

Miss Ning ignored her, only holding her hand to prevent her from running around, while looking carelessly in the direction of the bridge, as if searching for something.

"What are you looking for?" Xin Liu asked her.

Miss Ning was born in a scholarly background, she is also a generous person, and she is best friends with Xin Liu, so she said honestly:

"I'm like you, I can go out every day, I'm bored at home all day long, only the sedan chair can go out, there are many people in the capital, just heard, but never seen, tonight is hard to have a chance, to feast your eyes."

"Oh?" Xin Liu was curious, "So, who do you want to see?" ”

Miss Ning pursed her lips and smiled, leaned into her ear and said, "I have seen a few women with outstanding looks in the capital, such as Mingyue of the Yin family, Zizhu of the Rui family, and the county lord of Xiwen of the Xiangwang Mansion, so I won't talk about it." I'd like to see these men for myself, to see if they're worthy of their name—"

"One of them is Daozi Jingchen, who has become famous recently, the youngest academician of Taishi Shuyuan, the son of Yunhua Yizi and Princess Luyue, what kind of fairy is Jiyue? The second is that he did not move the capital three years ago, and was hidden in the city for a while, and became famous at a young age. The third is Zhu Qingjue, the king of small medicine, I want to see if this maniac, who is known as the number one madman in Beijing, will give birth to three heads and six arms. ”

After hearing this, Xin Liu smiled, pinched her arm and said, "I have seen all three of them, how can I be told by you, and suddenly the gods chatter." ”

Miss Ning glanced at her with disgust, "That's just right, when you see someone later, you can point it out to me." ”

"What's that," Xin Liu's eyes rolled. Sweeping across the bridge, looking into the distance, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly raised his hand to the shore—

"See, the person you want to see is coming."

Miss Ning followed her finger and looked at the shore, but was instantly robbed of her sight by a white dress.

But I saw that the man was tall, with two sleeves accompanied by the wind, a white face and no beard, and a handsome appearance could be vaguely seen. Like a white crane and independent. It is like a fresh breeze.

"Well, this is Academician Jing."

Miss Ning admired it and nodded: "This kind of demeanor is only lined with 'Daozi' No. 1." ”

Xin Liudao: "Academician Jing is good-looking. He is also kind-hearted. I don't know how many young students in the Taishi Book Garden admire him. Openly and secretly, the young lady of the Zhan family who I told you a few days ago is the one who just entered Si Tianjian as a female official. I've been thinking about Academician Jing, and I don't know if she's here today. ”

Miss Ning came back to her senses and said, "Most of you women in the family are bold and shameless. ”

"Phew, I don't know who came to see the man."

Xin Liu reached out to twist her waist, Miss Ning dodged and retreated, and the two laughed at the bridge, no one noticed, and accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ugh!"

Miss Ning stepped on one foot, heard a cry of pain, was pulled by Xin Liu and stood firm, and hurriedly turned around to apologize, and before she could say "I'm sorry", she heard a coquettish reprimand:

"What kind of place is this, you dare to fool around, and are there any rules?"

Coincidentally, it was none other than the Zhan Xueyuan that Miss Ning stepped on, it was Zhan Xueyuan that Xin Liufang had just mentioned.

When Xin Liu looked up and saw the visitor, he frowned, held the handkerchief, and sneered:

"Do we have any rules, it's not your turn to teach, the bridge is so wide, who asked you to lean on us."

Zhan Xueyuan also recognized Xin Liulai, and knew that she was good friends with Yu Shu, so he hated Wu and Wu, and sneered:

"It seems that some people not only don't understand the rules, but also are quite unreasonable, they really gather like things, people are grouped, what kind of people, what kind of friends they make."

Xin Liu is not easy to mess with, listening to her allusion, he raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?" ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Miss Ning had a big head and wanted to persuade her, and on the other end, a few girls who were traveling with Zhan Xueyuan also approached.

The one who was hugged by the front and back was actually the county lord of Xiwen.

"Whatever you shout, don't say a word, are you afraid that you won't be embarrassed?"

Tonight's Xi Wen, really took the trouble to make up, wearing wide sleeves, purple skirt and iris, delicate and delicate body to help the wind and weak willows, combing the double-ring flying fairy bun, the forehead is dotted with peach blossoms, the face is delicate, and there is a circle of priceless purple jade tassel rings hanging on the neck of the condensed fat Saixue, which is shining and moving.

As soon as she appeared, she took the limelight from this half of the bridge, dwarfing the rest of the women.

Xin Liuzong was unconvinced, and he knew that he couldn't fight her, so he stepped forward to greet Miss Ning.

Zhan Xueyuan saw that they were soft, and he was proud in his heart, and walked back to Xi Wen's side, his expression became a little flattering:

"County Lord, there are a lot of people on this bridge, why don't we go and sit in the flower house over there."

Xi Wen glanced at her, but did not agree, but asked Xin Liu:

"Where's the rest of the operator?"

Xin Liu heard that Yu Shu and Xiwen County Lord had a holiday, so he said vaguely: "I came early and didn't see her." ”

Xi Wen smiled, shook the beauty fan in her hand slightly, and turned her head to speak to a beautiful girl behind her, who was not inferior to her:

"Sister Zizhu shouldn't have seen our female operator, you are often in the boudoir, probably haven't heard of it, this year's Dayan, the Yu operator, is in charge of Cousin Rui's forgetting machine building, and she is close to her cousin, as if she lives in a restaurant, and often goes in and out with her cousin."

As soon as she heard this, Rui Zizhu immediately frowned, as early as a month ago, she had heard the elders in the family mention that she intended to marry her to the eldest son of the Xue family, and she also had a little girlish thoughts about Xue Rui, so how could she like it when she heard that other women had too close relationships with their future husbands.

Xin Liu also frowned, and when he heard the ambiguity in Xi Wen's words, alluding to Yu Shu's misconduct, he said in an urn:

"The county lord doesn't want to listen to people's nonsense, Lianfang's family lives in the south of the city, why do you need to live in a restaurant, besides, she and the eldest brother of the Xue family have a brother and sister friendship, we all know the way."

"Brother and sister?" Xi Wen blocked her mouth with a fan, shook her shoulders with a smile, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "No wonder I heard her shouting affectionately with a big brother." ”

This time, Rui Zizhu's face was even more ugly, Miss Ning looked at it, quietly pulled Xin Liu's back, said goodbye to Xi Wen, and dragged her away without knowing anything.

After they left, Xi Wen grabbed Rui Zizhu and bit her ear in a low voice:

"What I said, you can listen to it, don't take it to heart, be careful that this female operator will snatch the golden jade hibiscus tonight, if Cousin Rui is confused by her, what should you do."

Rui Zizhu bit her lip, and couldn't help but worry, everyone knew that at the Furong Gentleman's Banquet, the two golden jade hibiscus flowers were a godsend, as long as both men and women were willing, they could do good things.

"Me, I"

"Otherwise, it's okay, I'll grab the golden jade hibiscus, you help me secretly, listen to my orders later, and you must not let her get the benefits."

Rui Zizhu was already upset and had no idea, and when she heard Xi Wen propose this, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

But I didn't see Xi Wen's flickering gaze and a calculating look. (To be continued.) )

PS: (In the past two days, I have been a little anxious because of the reality, and I only have the empty code word tonight, so I have been waiting for a long time.) ）
