Chapter Twenty-Eight: Uncle
Screams!
Xiao Zhen was not slow to react, and soon realized something and caught up with Xiao Yu.
And on the nine-curved turnaround bridge, it has been chaotic. Out of nowhere, a snake, as thick as a child's arm, was winding its way across the bridge. But as long as there are women, there are few who are not afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and I don't know who discovered this thing first, in short, it immediately caused a chain reaction. The screams of the girls also frightened the snake, and it crawled irregularly, so to speak, from side to side, and brought even greater fright. Even, some young ladies were directly frightened and fainted.
The small table of the banquet is two people, and the others are in fright, instinctively pulling the people next to them, and the two support each other, even if they are frightened, but there is no danger. But Ruri sat on her own, and retreated to the bridge railing in two steps. The bridge railing is not high, in terms of Liuli's stature, it is not up to the waist, and she retreated in a hurry, almost turning into the lake.
"Ruri, be careful!" Xiao Zhen shouted anxiously, but his voice was drowned out in the cries one after another.
At this moment, the snake didn't know what was wrong, suddenly stood up, put on a posture of attacking when it was in danger, and then pounced on Liuli with lightning speed.
Liuli exclaimed, subconsciously retreating. However, she had no way to retreat, and her body, which had managed to hold her steady ground, fell backwards, and fell into the water with a plop.
In the heart of the bridge, in the middle of the water, if you can't swim, it's too late for others to save you.
Xiao Zhen almost jumped straight down, but he thought that he wouldn't be able to swim when he stepped out on one leg. But he reacted super fast, and immediately reached out and grabbed Xiao Yu, "Eleventh brother......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yu had already jumped into the lake.
On the other side, the glass fell into the water and kept sinking. She held her breath and raised her head, and actually saw the light and moonlight reflected on the water, which was really ...... Beautiful. She didn't know how much lung capacity she could have, and the people who wanted to come to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion would not let her drown.
The sister of the Cao Gang leader, the future princess of Jin, this is the benefit of identity.
Just as she was thinking, a large splash suddenly appeared not far away, and the water ** led her deeper into a deeper place. But she knew that this was a regurgitation, and she did not panic, but proved that someone was swimming quickly in the water to take her out of the deep water.
The water of the lake is clear, sinking in the water is like being in another world, it is wonderful, silent and breathless, sober alone. She suddenly remembered that her sister came to the Taoist temple to find her before she got married, and said to her: I had determined not to marry, because I am not alone, there are too many people around me to protect and take care of, and I can do it. I thought I never needed a man. But when you meet that person, you will understand that you are not married, just to wait for him.
My sister is talking about Wen Ningzhi.
That year, when my sister was leading the troops on patrol, she rescued Wen Ningzhi, who was being chased and killed by the Tatars. At that time, he was already a favorite official of the emperor, a talented man who was full of great Zhao, but his position was very low and he had no achievements. So he received a secret decree and stole into the territory of the Tatars, wanting to understand the customs and people, so that the court could use troops abroad in the future.
My sister just likes to save people, and under her strong appearance, she has a particularly soft and kind heart. She saved Wen Ningzhi and was moved by his persuasion to give up the independence of Fanzhen and give the people real peace. At that time, my sister's face was smiling all day long, so gentle and full of yearning. Think of a woman who is almost thirty years old, at the age when she will be a grandmother in a few years, but meets someone who is waiting in the dark.
What kind of miracle is this?
But what about the miracle? Wen Ningzhi got glory and wealth, cold jade and cold incense wore gold and silver, and there were many people who benefited from betrayal. Only my sister, who died so tragically, didn't even give birth to her own child, take a look.
Sister is so stupid, that person, is she really waiting? Is it really that important?
Liuli said that she would stop crying, but at this time her eyes were hot, but she was in the water, and she didn't know if she was crying. However, at this moment, when she closed her eyes and opened them again, suddenly a person suddenly appeared beside her.
The water, as if a membrane had crossed his face and body, blurred so that she could not see clearly. By the time she widened her eyes to determine who this person was, he had swam behind her, one hand around her waist and the other around her neck.
Floating! Floating!
Suddenly, there was a blinding light, and her breathing was so rapid that she coughed and her lungs ached like pins and needles.
"Are you alright?" A man's voice came from behind him.
Slightly hoarse. Even at the moment of life and death, it makes people's hearts itch.
It turned out to be Xiao Shiyi! She believed that he had a devil's heart, so he would act with the smell of temptation, and would never force his opponent to surrender willingly.
But why him? Shouldn't it be Xiao Zhen? Obviously, there is only one sentence in the investigation: the princes are good at traveling.
It seems that the intelligence is also inaccurate, and she will learn a lesson in the future. And even if Da Zhao Minfeng is open, even if he is in a hurry, he has a skin-to-skin affinity underwater...... Although she will not be sunk or scolded, at least her reputation will be damaged.
In the end, she is still Xiao Shiyi's future brother-in-law! It's really ugly to hug and hug your uncle like this.
In Liuli's thoughts, Xiao Yu took her to swim to the shore, but stopped a foot away from the shore and waved her hand to the shore.
Xiao Zhen immediately understood, and hurriedly called the people from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion who rushed to clear the scene, leaving only the female dependents in charge, Wang Linlang, the fifth mother of the Wang family, and a middle-aged woman dressed as a noblewoman. and a few capable mothers-in-law and maids.
When everyone dispersed in a hurry, Xiao Yu took Liuli to the shore.
The two strong mothers-in-law stretched out their hands, pulled the glass up, and wrapped it in the big cloak that had been prepared earlier. At the same time, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Yu both turned around, and their demeanor was extremely good.
"Are you alright? Does the abdomen swell? Liuli stood firm, and Xiao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Xiao Yu, who was a mi, walked out of the lake, casually took the large cloth towel handed over by the maid, loosely wrapped it around his waist, and then fell into the water like this, standing as if watching the excitement on the side.
Ruri shook her head, "I'm fine." It's just that...... Lose face. ”
"You're just frightened, how can you lose face?" Xiao Zhen softened his voice.
Liuli glanced at Xiao Yu and didn't speak.
What does this mean? Please Xiao Shiyi understand it for himself. They saved her life, and she has nothing to condemn. But after all, there is something unreasonable, in fact, he can throw a rope to her......
Xiao Yu smiled, "I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Cao Gang would not know how to drink water." I once heard that the Cao Gang has a rule that the family members of the gang leader, even women and children, must soak in the water for a few days. This proves that the family members of the gang leader and the gang live and die together, and share weal and woe. ”
As soon as he speaks, he picks loopholes and attacks people's weaknesses, this person is really hateful!
Liuli was annoyed, and her face was inadvertently revealed, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed. But she quickly made up for it, as if she was uncomfortable, but she reluctantly said, "When I was a child, I went to the river to play and almost drowned." Later, I was afraid of water, and it was a shame to say it, and the Cao Gang knew it. ”
Hmph, she has been preparing for three years, and she has thought of everything in every detail, and she is not afraid to ask. Is it easy to get the emperor to give a marriage? Have eight generations of ancestors investigated?
"Don't talk about this yet, it's important to change into clean clothes quickly." Xiao Zhen is very considerate.
The middle-aged lady on the side said apologetically, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Miss Shui, they are all poorly entertained by the Mansion, which almost hurts people, and I am afraid to think about it." Fortunately, Jiren has his own natural appearance, why don't Miss Shui go to the inner courtyard to clean up first, I have already invited the imperial doctor to come, and I will talk about it after asking for the pulse. Linlang, you take Miss Shui there. "I didn't give anything to say, but the tone was sincere, obviously silent, and the act was magnificent.
Liuli nodded and followed Wang Linlang. When passing by Xiao Zhen's side, Miss Wang Wu did not squint and had a natural attitude.
What does the Marquis of Weiyuan want to express? Otherwise, why bother with Wang Linlang, such a young lady from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the fifth miss is a cold one, and it is not suitable for hospitality. What's more, there are some rumors between her and Xiao Zhen, the king of Jin. It's like putting the problem on the bright side, telling Ruri that there's nothing between them. Everything, just rumors.
Ruri has some faith because of intuition and observation.
If it is not completely unprofitable to make this trouble tonight, at least she took the opportunity to see that Xiao Zhen did not fall in love with her, and Wang Linlang did not love Xiao Jiu either. When they were facing each other, they didn't feel embarrassed at all, and Xiao Zhen was also very generous, indicating that the two knew each other, but they were only acquainted. And the fact that Xiao Zhen didn't fall in love with her made her feel relaxed. She wants revenge, she doesn't need love. It is best to have nothing to do with each other. When she retreats, she can be free of worries.
"Not me." As he walked through the garden path, Wang Linlang's voice came, a little annoyed, "It's not us either." ”
She couldn't have understood what she meant, tonight's event was deliberately arranged. Probably many people will suspect her and suspect the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, after all, she has a hatred for "taking her husband" with Shui Liuli. Originally, she didn't want her brother to invite Shui Liuli to come, but Xiao Wen Zhuangyuanlang was half the master, how could she ignore his sister-in-law? And what my mother meant was to make her behave frankly, so that the rumors would be self-defeating. She didn't know who was the one who spread such gossip or what ulterior motives they had, but she was also annoyed. Of course, she will not take the initiative to show favor to Shui Liuli, it is naturally not good to cover up, and it will be suspicious to overdo it.
That's the case in Tokyo, it's clear that you don't have the intention, but when others say you have the intention, you can't figure it out.
"Oh." Ruri nodded.
Wang Linlang was strange, couldn't help but stand still, turned around and looked at Liuli, "Do you believe me?" ”
"Why don't you believe it?" Liuli looked innocent, "Many people just like to make things simple and complicated. ”
In fact, it is too low-level to make her ugly in this way, so she doesn't understand people in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion today. But if someone wants to test it, it can be regarded as a surprise trick.
"Fifth Miss, please tell me, where is my maid?" Ruri asked.
