Chapter 11: The Romance Under the Wisteria Flower (1)
Dong Di just deceived a lotus lantern in the hands of a pretty boy, and then sold it to Mrs. Wang of the silk shop, making a small profit. Just now I was just flirting, and I was blinded by the white little face for a while, and I forgot the agreement with Xiang Ye, who knew that the son wanted to propose marriage to her later, and she was scared to borrow urine and slip away, which was really boring.
Dong Di came out of Xu Ji's baked cake shop, feeling a little sorry for Xiang Ye, and planned to buy a lamp to make amends for her.
When she arrived at the most sophisticated "Sanwei Xuan", she glanced at the first floor a few times, and then went up to the second floor to see.
The reason why "Sanweixuan" is called "Sanwei" is because it specializes in selling "gold, stone, and jade" three kinds of treasures.
They hold an event every year: on the day of the "Zhouhe Lantern Festival", they make an exception to sell unique lanterns. The lamps are made by different craftsmen, each one unique and has its own story.
It is said that it was because their shopkeeper and his wife met on this day twenty years ago, and the two fell in love with the same lamp, so they got married. Later, in order to commemorate, Sanweixuan made its own lamps and picked lamps to sell every year.
Not every lamp is expensive, and many of them are made by unknown craftsmen. It's just that compared with other families, his family is always more unique and exquisite.
Dong Di knew that Xiang Ye loved these gadgets the most, and he was watching them carefully.
Behind the corner of the second and third floors, Dong Di saw the small lamp of "Wisteria Rose" at a glance.
Most of the common lamps are lotus, begonia, and narcissus, which have round and straight petals, because they are made in good shape and bright in color. This is the first time Dong Di has seen a string of wisteria-like lamps, the petals are white on the top and purple on the bottom, the brighter they are, the darker the color, cross-stacked, beautiful and mysterious. Purple things are generally dark and uneye-catching, but when you look closely, you are easily attracted. Dong Di walked to it and looked around carefully, it was not all exquisite and lifelike, without flaws, but the mysterious fantasy of the vine was firmly grasped by the craftsman.
She returned to the front and looked at its story: "Wisteria climbing frame, small chair coarse clothes, twisted braids, serving a bowl and asking you, are you thirsty?" ”
After reading it, Dong Di did not hesitate to call the shopkeeper and planned to pay.
Out of the store, she carried a wisteria lamp the size of a palm and walked to Xiang Ye's house. I walked to the street in front of me, smelled the aroma of the soup, and ate a bowl of beef noodles on the spot. Later, I bought a few small snacks and carried them, and tasted a few sips of the wine just brewed by Mrs. Zhao on the side of the road.
Dong Di rubbed his eyes and looked around, it should be the forest behind the "Scenery Building". She discerned the way and planned to go out, rounded a few trees, and faced a man in white who sat there.
When moonshine is alone, it is easy to be cold. When a man and a woman are romantic, they are prone to affection.
The light is silver, and the silver is transparent because it is bright. The earth was ash, and the ashes were shone again, and were cleaned. The clothes were white, and the white was dark and quiet.
Dong Di has seen a lot of handsome sons, but there are not many who have a sideways face like him. She has seen a lot of people who love to put on music and pretend to be charming, but there are too few that can be seen just by sitting there.
As a young girl who likes handsome sons, Dong Di gently pinched the handle of the hand, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Ye Ye." Then, with a smile on his face, he shook his hair with one hand and walked over.
Kuang Zhu had just finished drinking a jar of peach blossom brew, the jar was thrown everywhere, and he sat down on the spot along the trunk of the tree, intending to sober up and fight again. Before he sat down for a stick of incense, he heard someone coming over here, sounding like a girl, he didn't want to slip away, but he felt that he was very lucky today.
Before he could take the initiative to speak, the little girl came to the front with a wisteria lantern: "Son, have you married a wife and taken a concubine?" ”
Kuang Zhu replied: "What if you marry, what if you don't marry." ”
Dong Di walked up to him and squatted down, saw his face clearly, and smiled sweeter: "If I marry, then I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life." I didn't get married, the weather was just right these two days, the wind was warm and not dry, you can go boating on the lake with me, and fly kites in the suburbs. After two days of rain and rain, the weather is not beautiful, we can sit in the pavilion to make tea, play chess games. Look, beauty, beauty? ”
Kuang Zhu couldn't help but laugh and replied to her: "Then do you have any promises?" ”
Dong Di smiled evilly, suddenly leaned his face closer, raised his eyebrows and asked him: "What if you make a promise, what if you don't make a promise?" ”
Kwong Zhu was startled first, and then smiled and moved his face closer to her, but the little girl was so shocked that she retreated. He stood up with a smile and said, "Yes, naturally there is no follow-up." No, and there is no follow-up. ”
With that, the man flew away.
Dong Di was startled when he saw him suddenly flying up at first glance, and scolded again: "Twist, you don't need to have feet, what kind of bird to pretend." ”
After that, he sighed: "Hey, I'm blind with a handsome face, and I have no beads." ”
She searched for her way out, but found that her wisteria lantern was missing. She went back the way she came, but she couldn't find it. She was so angry that she spent silver to buy a narcissus for Xiang Ye. On the way home, I ate another bowl of beef noodles before I recovered.
Lose money and lose color.
Two days later, a painting of Xiang Ye's imperial gift disappeared.
It's okay to say that it's other paintings, but this is Lu Tanwei's famous work, the painting is the Yushan Mountain behind the capital, which was rewarded by the emperor, and the queen did her birthday two days later, and the palace specially sent someone to say hello in advance, asking to bring the painting into the palace. Now that I have lost it, it is not easy to explain it.
When Xiang Ye rushed to the study, his father and brother were already discussing countermeasures, and the servants below were kneeling together.
Xiang Ye already knew that the painting was lost last night, and although it was important to strengthen security and pursue accountability, it was not urgent. What really matters is how to get the painting back. Xiang Ye sat down and sent people to kneel outside the door before asking, "Is there a countermeasure?" ”
Yan Ding replied: "Since we found out that the painting was lost, we reported to the official, and most of the government soldiers were sent out to find it, but there was still no news." No one was alarmed last night, and the painting was gone, either because of strong martial arts, or because of internal collusion. Let's go down these two paths first. But this palace, I'm afraid you'll have to come with me. The Queen's birthday is approaching, and we can't be sure we'll get the painting back before then. It is always the best thing to confess first. ”
Xiang Ye nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "Have you had a grudge with someone recently?" ”
Yanding said: "Officialdom doesn't care about family enemies. ”
Xiang Ye is clear.
Yanding said again: "It's just that a few days ago, I participated in two books of Hua Guogong, which made him lose face. ”
Yan Jue held the teacup, blew the hot steam, took a sip, and said, "It won't be Hua Guogong." ”
Neither Xiang Ye nor Rock Top spoke.
After being quiet for a while, Yanding said to Xiang Ye again: "I don't have a close enough relationship with the people in the Yamen on weekdays, and they have already investigated, and it is not in accordance with the rules to invite them again." You go and ask Dong Di, do you know people with strong martial arts, please come over and see if this is the way to go first. ”
Xiang Ye knew who Yanding was referring to, Dong Di had molested the senior brother of the Lancang faction the year before last, and the senior brother was also a lover, he was stunned to follow Dong Di for a whole year, and wanted to marry her back, which was known to everyone, and the little girl always complained, in order to coax him, she didn't dare to say a word to other sons for a year, and finally I don't know what she said to others, but the senior brother was also happy to go back to the sect to practice martial arts. The Lancang faction is the closest sect to the capital, and if you go now, it will arrive tomorrow soon.
Xiang Ye nodded and replied: "After eating, I'll ask." ”
Who knew that Xiang Ye pounced in Dong's mansion, and the maid said that Dong Di went to the suburban hunting ground early in the morning to find Qin Gongzi.
Xiang Ye thought to himself: "Where did this come out of Qin Gongzi?" ”
The situation was urgent, and Xiang Ye couldn't wait for her to return home, so he turned around and went to the hunting ground to find her.
When she arrived at the hunting ground, the steward led her to the east, saying that Miss Dong had just gone this way. She followed the road to look inside, and walked out of a long way, Dong Di didn't find it, but met Jian Yunzhen.
Jian Yunyan and a few sons sat around talking, and the servants on one side were building a grill, and the other was baking clothes in the distance. Xiang Ye thought that he should have finished hunting.
Just when she was hesitating whether to go over to say hello, Jian Yunqi also saw her. When he saw her, Jian Yunyun laughed suddenly, and his whole person softened a lot.
He walked over to her, and the sons who were traveling with him were a little strange when they saw him stand up suddenly. For some reason, Xiang Ye felt that his heart was suddenly beating a little fast.
Jian Yunzhen walked up to her and spoke, "You haven't drunk today, have you?" ”
Xiang Ye couldn't help laughing, remembering that he was drunk and dizzy last time on the scenery upstairs, and he couldn't get down. He flew up to take her, sent her home, and was bumped into by his brother, so he was inevitably a little embarrassed.
She gently slammed him: "Don't mention it again." ”
Jian Yunzhen laughed, looked at her softly, and said, "Okay." ”
Jian Yunzhen pointed to the front and motioned for her to walk that way. He asked, "Why did you come alone?" ”
Xiang Ye replied: "Come to Dong Di." Did you see her? ”
Jian Yunqi said: "I've only heard the name, but I can't recognize it when I see it." Would you like to make an appointment with her? ”
Xiang Ye stopped, with Dong Di's casualness, he asked his son to play, purely for fun, where to go, he would not make a plan in advance at all, chasing it like this, not to mention time-consuming, at worst it may be in vain, and he still needs to write a letter to invite the senior brother of the Lancang faction, and the twists and turns are also troublesome. But Jian Yunzhen, he is a master who is alive in front of him.
After thinking about it, Xiang Ye asked Jian Yunzhen: "Do you have any other important things today?" ”
Jian Yunzhen looked down at her: "It's just to meet them to roast game." ”
Xiang Ye nodded.
Jian Yunzhen said again: "Where do you want to go, the cape is still the end of the world." ”
Xiang Ye smiled: "Let's go to Haijiao first." Look at the sea first, and travel far away. ”
Jian Yunzhen also smiled: "Xiaozhou is gone? ”
Xiang Ye replied: "Jianghai sends the rest of his life." ”
Without waiting for Jian Yunyun to speak, Xiang Ye said again: "However, before wandering in the four seas, you have to go home with me and pack your luggage." ”
Jian Yunyun called the servant who followed behind and asked him to go and talk to the son-in-law who was traveling with him, and he would go first.
He bent down to make a "please" appearance, and Xiang Ye stepped forward lightly on the lotus.
