Chapter 167: Temptation (Second Update, Seeking Pink)
"If you want to get Lone's care, let Lone see your ability first, and see if Lone is worth being a backer for you." The prince walked out of the warm pavilion, left Chen Yuejiao's courtyard, and went straight out of the city, going to Leyouyuan in the suburbs to meet with the crown princess to enjoy the snow.
This time, the crown princess of the East Palace came forward and invited many ladies, young grandmothers and little ladies in Chang'an City to come to the royal palace to enjoy the snow.
The daughters of the Jingzhao Yin Xu family and the daughters of Xiao Shiji, the captain of the light car, were all invited.
Du Hengxue wore a royal blue brocade phoenix wearing a peony big hair cloak, combing a double-ring bun, wearing a dazzling fish basket Guanyin gold inlaid jade sideburns on both sides of the bun, a pair of meticulously carved mutton fat jade white rabbit pounding medicine earrings swaying on the cheeks, the eyes of the mutton fat jade white rabbit are two good rubies, under the snow light, more and more lined with her complexion like jade, picturesque eyebrows, lips and eyebrows, stunning beginning.
Du Hengshuang took Xiao Yanran over to enjoy the snow. Because Xiao Shihe was still fighting hard in the north, Du Hengshuang refused to decorate it, combed his head with a bun, only inserted a ruyi cloud-patterned mutton fat hosta, and inserted two pearl stoppers the size of rice grains in his ears. The clothes on the body are also elegant, covered with bean green brocade moon white silk with burr edges, wearing a silver-white blue edge embroidered gold silk algae leaf pattern silver mouse jacket, lotus lotus double forest silk silk cotton jacket, tied with a green Ruyi peony brocade inlaid silver mouse lining long skirt, a pair of fever deerskin boots on the feet, the most warm.
Xiao Yanran was wearing a big red feather veil in the morning, and when she saw Du Hengshuang dressed elegantly, she was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly changed the lotus green bucket pattern silver silk white plum crane in the morning, and the gold inlaid jade on her head was also taken off when she was distracted. Replaced with a gilded small phoenix hairpin.
Her appearance follows Long Xiangye, not very beautiful, but she is quiet and silent, has a moderate demeanor, and has a good temperament.
But standing with Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue, a pair of sisters, she was almost overwhelmed.
Xiao Yanran didn't seem to care, and kept following Du Hengshuang with a smile, refusing to go a step or say a word.
acted generously, but many of the ladies and wives present were eye-catching. inquired about her family background.
To be known, she is the sister-in-law of Xiao Shihe, the newly promoted lieutenant of the light car. The ladies and ladies were even more zealous.
A few ladies who were familiar with Du Hengshuang on weekdays simply said to Du Hengshuang: "Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao rarely comes out, right?" Why don't you let her sit with us? ”
Du Hengshuang felt that it was not good to leave her sister-in-law alone, and was about to excuse herself, when Xiao Shi and the wives of colleagues surnamed Wu gently pushed her. smiled: "Give me your sister-in-law." When the feast is over. I promise to return her to you with all her beards and tails. ”
Du Hengshuang said with a smile: "Mrs. Wu said this, don't I disagree with it and become a sinner through the ages?" As he spoke, he whispered to Xiao Yanran, "Mrs. Wu, you also know it." Would you like to sit with them? ”
Xiao Yanran nodded a little shyly, and said in a low voice: "I saw my sister-in-law's mother-in-law over there, sister-in-law go over there, I'll go sit with Mrs. Wu and come back." ”
Du Hengshuang was not at ease in the end, so she reached out to help Xiao Yanran re-tie the strap of Dayu, and said with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, I'll let Ou Yangniang accompany you, okay?" ”
Ou Yangniang has an extraordinary background, and she is most familiar with the twists and turns between the wives of this family. Let her go with her, it is like a fish in water.
Xiao Yanran also knew that the Ou adoptive mother beside Du Hengshuang was not an ordinary person, and she did not have an adoptive mother herself, so she nodded hurriedly and said, "Sister-in-law has deviated from me." He turned around and bowed to Ou Yang Niang, "There is Lao Ou Yang Niang." ”
Ou Yangniang understood Du Hengshuang's concerns, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, eldest lady, my wife is just following the standing ankle and won't cause trouble to the eldest lady." ”
Xiao Yanran took Ou Yangniang and Mrs. Wu to sit in the pavilion and eat tea and talk.
Du Hengxue watched Xiao Yanran walk away with a smile, and then hugged Du Hengshuang's arm and said, "Sister, now you are mine." ”
Du Hengshuang angrily and funny stretched out her finger and tapped Du Hengxue's forehead, and said angrily: "You little girl, you are getting more and more weird." You also eat irrelevant flying vinegar. ”
The two talked and came to Fang Yuniang's side.
Fang Yuniang, as the head of the Xu family, also has two concubines by her side.
Seeing Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue coming over, Fang Yuniang hurriedly said: "I heard that the prince is also here today, and he also invited a group of male guests, you have to be careful, don't go too far, it's not good to collide." ”
Xiao Shiji is not around, and Du Hengshuang is not enthusiastic about snow appreciation. If it weren't for the fact that the crown princess personally made a post, and Xiao Yanran wanted to find her mother-in-law's house, she wouldn't have bothered to come to today's snow party.
Long Xiangye also wanted to come, and sent a letter to her mother's family, wanting to pick up her niece Long Shuzhi to go to the banquet together, but Long Shuzhi refused to come. Her father and mother asked out that Du Hengshuang did not allow her to come to the door, and they were all furious, and they originally said it to Long Xiangye, and blamed her for marrying a good daughter-in-law, so soon she didn't want her uncle's house.
Long Xiangye was so annoyed that he couldn't sleep all night, but he caught a cold at night and couldn't get out of bed today with a fever.
Zhu Susu went to see Long Xiangye early in the morning, but he didn't come.
Because it was the crown princess's post, the Xiao family couldn't help but give face. Du Hengshuang had no choice but to take Xiao Yanran over to sit down, although Guan Yunlian wanted to come, but Xiao Taiji asked her to serve Long Xiangye at home, and she was not allowed to come.
When Du Hengshuang arrived here, of course, it was indispensable, and it was good to accompany Fang Yuniang to sit quietly on the side.
Du Hengxue is a child's temper, seeing the snow-capped mountains and fields here, as well as the various plum trees covered by snow, he was itchy for a while.
The two concubines of the Xu family glanced at each other, smiled quietly, walked over and took Du Hengxue's hand and said, "Xue'er, let's go over there to build a snowman?" There are a lot of little ladies we know over there. ”
Du Hengxue nodded again and again, turned her head and begged Fang Yuniang and Du Hengshuang, "Mother, sister, I'll go over and play for a while, okay?" ”
Fang Yuniang knew that this place was heavily guarded, and irrelevant foreign men would never be able to enter, and she felt sorry for her little daughter who had been detained tightly at home for a while, and she wanted to let her loose, so she nodded and said: "Go play, take your mother-in-law and maids, don't run around alone." ”
Du Hengxue smiled. Hurriedly followed the two concubines of the Xu family to the depths of Meilin.
Today, the little ladies of the wealthy families in Chang'an City are here.
There are also many wives and wives who are interested in seeing their daughters-in-law.
Most of the little ladies know that this kind of snow banquet is actually a blind date banquet in disguise.
But these little ladies together, they are not as good-looking as Du Hengxue alone.
Several sons of the family came from the other end of Merlin.
The little lady who was still chattering just now immediately quieted down, stood together in twos and threes, covered her face with a feather fan that did not leave her body in winter, and secretly looked at the young master who came and went.
Du Hengxue stood alone under a plum tree in full bloom, and picked up her feet to pick a plum blossom.
But she couldn't reach it, and she was so angry that her little face flushed. Puff out your cheeks. There is three points of reckless innocence in the beautiful color, and there are several sons who can't take their eyes off it.
A long-bodied boy couldn't help but walk over, personally helped her pick the plum, and handed it to her with a smile. asked: "May I ask the little lady's surname?" ”
Du Hengxue took the plum with a smile. Thank you. But he did not say his name.
There was a little lady next to her who said with a smile: "She is the little lady of Jingzhao Yin Xu's family." ”
The boy was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "It turned out to be a little lady Xu." ”
The two concubines of the Xu family sneered and hurriedly turned around to hide their faces. Hidden.
Behind the plum tree, a few young masters came out, and it was An Zichang, Xu Yanhui, Xu Yanbang and Sun Yaozu and their party.
Hearing that the jade-faced boy kept asking Du Hengxue's name, Xu Yanbang couldn't help but walk over, snatched the plum in Du Hengxue's hand and threw it to the ground, stepped on it twice, and sneered: "Are you pretending to be Miss Xu again?" Drag oil bottle ——! ”
The words "drag oil bottle" dragged on for a long time.
Du Hengxue's red face left, and the color of blood faded. Her lips were closed, and she endured and endured it, so that she didn't cry out in public.
"Am I wrong? You don't have the surname Xu at all, the surname is Du! Our Xu family, when will there be a little lady surnamed Du?! - Look in the mirror yourself and see if you are worthy! Xu Yanbang's words are like knives, and he is late to Du Hengxue.
"Huh? It turned out to be a drag oil bottle? - It's the daughter brought by Mrs. Du's house, right? ”
"That's right! I've forgotten about it. That Lord Xu's house-filling lady, I heard that she is a businessman's widow, and she is so lucky to be able to marry Jing Zhaoyin as a house-filler......"
"One person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, what's all the fuss? - The mother became a lady, and of course the daughter was promoted to be a lady. ”
Du Hengxue's appearance originally made these little ladies a little uncomfortable. Now that I can stomp on her when I have the opportunity, naturally some people will not let go of this opportunity.
Be kind and silent.
The meaner ones are even more unpleasant.
Xu Yanbang looked at Du Hengxue's sad appearance, and suddenly felt better in his heart. - He looked at her every day, but he couldn't get close to her, just like being Ling Chi. Today, he also let her taste such a painful situation......
Du Hengshuang's tears finally rolled down.
An Zichang sighed lightly, and was about to speak, but Sun Yaozu had already taken the first step, stood beside Du Hengxue, took a silk to help her wipe her tears, took her hand and said, "Don't cry." It's not your fault. Only ignorant and rude people can say such things as dragging oil bottles, and you should not be like those people. With that, he pulled Du Hengxue and left Merlin.
Xu Yanbang was so angry that his whole body trembled, but Xu Yanhui and An Zichang followed him left and right, grabbed him tightly, and did not allow him to follow again.
"Let go of me!" Xu Yanbang glared angrily at An Zichang and Xu Yanhui.
An Zichang whispered: "If you do this again, you will regret it for the rest of your life!" ”
Xu Yanbang vigorously broke free from their shackles and smashed his fist on the plum tree.
The snow on the plum tree fell downward, closing the petals, and sprinkled on Xu Yanbang's body one after another.
Outside Merlin, Du Hengxue broke free of Sun Yaozu's hand and scolded: "Don't touch me!" I don't want you to pity me! ”
Sun Yaozu put his hands behind his back, looked at her with pity, and said slowly: "Xue'er, you haven't changed your surname, I admire you very much." ”
Du Hengxue wiped a handful of tears fiercely, choked up, and said, "If you still want to sarcastically mock me, please go away." ”
"How could I be sarcastic about you? I really admire you. No matter how powerful Jing Zhaoyin is, you can keep your nature and forget your ancestors. It is common to be a person to worship and see a low step, so people like you are especially valuable. ”
Du Hengxue listened in a daze for a long time, then raised her head and asked, "Do you really think so?" You're not laughing at me for being inadequate? ”
"Of course not." Sun Yaozu looked at Du Hengxue's flawless little face like petals, and his heart was itchy. She is a stunning beauty, and her heart is as clear as crystal. is not like those little ladies who say a word, at least a dozen or so hearts, calculating and calculating, but calculating the four words of fame and fortune.
Sun Yaozu persuaded for a long time, and finally persuaded Du Hengxue to burst into laughter, and his heart was full of joy.
When the two walked to the small pavilion where Fang Yuniang and Du Hengshuang were sitting, they were already talking and laughing.
Fang Yuniang saw Sun Yaozu accompanying Du Hengxue over, and said curiously: "How did you get together?" He asked Du Hengxue again: "Where is your maid?" ”
Du Hengxue was startled, looked around, and stuck out her tongue, "I forgot about them in Merlin." ”
While speaking, Du Hengxue's eldest maid Zhishu hurriedly walked over with a few maids, and saluted Fang Yuniang and Du Hengshuang: "The slave maid just lost the third miss, please punish the lady and the eldest aunt." ”
Fang Yuniang sighed, waved her hand, and said, "You go down, it's none of your business." Then he glared at Du Hengxue, "I know that I am naughty." If you do this again in the future, I won't take you out, I'll let you stay at home all the time. ”
Du Hengxue knew that there was nothing to do, so she hurriedly walked up to the pavilion, sat between Fang Yuniang and Du Hengshuang, drank a sip of hot almond tea, and then hugged the arms of the two people to be coquettish, and the embarrassment and heartache just now were immediately swept away.
Sun Yaozu smiled, and the other party's concubine and Du Hengshuang arched their hands and said, "Uncle, eldest cousin." ”
"Don't dare to be. Sun Gongzi, who are you here with? Du Hengshuang asked.
Sun Yaozu pointed to the depths of Merlin, "Cousin An, eldest cousin and second cousin are all over there." ”
Du Hengshuang knew that he was talking about An Zichang, Xu Yanhui and Xu Yanbang, and nodded hurriedly: "Then we won't disturb your friends." "Politely ask Sun Yaozu to leave this pavilion.
Sun Yaozu knew that Du Hengshuang didn't like him a little, and he didn't get angry, so he turned around and saluted the other woman's mother and said, "Uncle, I got a letter from my father and mother the day before yesterday, and they are going to come to Chang'an to visit my uncle and aunt during the Chinese New Year." ”
Fang Yuniang was overjoyed when she heard this, and knew that Xu Shao had hinted at the family affairs that Sun Yaozu had hinted at, it seems that the old couple of the Sun family attach great importance to it, otherwise they would not come to Chang'an from Luoyang to see Du Hengxue after the New Year.
"It turned out that Master Sun and Mrs. Sun were coming. Rest assured, when the time comes, we will definitely entertain you. Fang Yuniang said with a smile and sent Sun Yaozu away.
Du Hengshuang glanced at Fang Yuniang, Fang Yuniang nodded slightly, and opened Du Hengxue, "Xue'er, you go and fold two plum blossoms for your mother and sister." There's a plum tree right next to it. ”
