Volume 1 Chapter 12 Tea Fight
In the past, the county lord of Yuxi always stayed in the boudoir, and he was not good at talking and laughing with them, which naturally made Luan Mo a little taboo.
Luan Yun looked at Yin Yuxi's expression, and was about to get up, not wanting Yin Yuxi to smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister Luan, why don't you ask your third brother?" ”
Luan Yun saw that Yin Yuxi's expression was slightly softened, and then turned back, propped his arms on the table, and leaned in front of Yin Yuxi, "I did ask the third brother, but the third brother always used some jokes to prevaricate me. Then his eyes blinked, and his voice lowered, "Is it because the third brother has molested Sister Yuxi?" ”
Mentioning this, Yin Yuxi couldn't help but think that when she first met Luan Yi a year ago, in a secluded place in the palace, she pretended to be a palace maid and complained bitterly to Shen Ruoting about her deep affection, Luan Yi had just become an official, and really thought that he was a palace maid pestering Shen Ruoting, so he stepped forward and pushed her away, and it happened that it was raining and the flower garden next to her was muddy, and she fell in the mud and was embarrassed. Since that time, she has hated this Luan Yi to the core. When she was even more angry, since Luan Yi knew that she was the county lord, she didn't feel the slightest guilt, but liked to anger her more and more.
Of course, at this time, she could only pull the corners of her mouth, "I don't know, anyway, Luan Yi always angers me." ”
Luan Yun thought she would say it, but her little face was full of disappointment and she sat back.
At this moment, the ladies and ladies sitting in the front row got up and came to the door, and some even poked their heads out of the window, and the sound of quarrels and noises outside also came in. Luan Yun wanted to go and see the excitement, but was dragged back by Luan Mo, but Yin Yuxi had already gotten up and walked out of the attic alone.
Next to the stone on the shore of the lake, Tan Muxing had already pulled out his long sword and pointed it at the chest of a strange man, and scolded, "You didn't even give me a face in front of so many people, you try it again!" ”
The strange man was well-dressed and his face was tough, and looking at the more and more people around him, his face was a little red, "Tan Gongzi misunderstood." I only knocked over the tea set by mistake, not intentionally. ”
"Not on purpose? You just said that I am just a concubine and I am not worthy of serving you tea, and now ask these people, who dares to treat me as a concubine in this Tan Mansion, and even outsiders dare not treat me as a concubine, you insult me like this. The green tendons on the back of Tan Muxing's hand holding the hilt of the sword burst out, "You apologize to me now, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get out of the gate of this Tan Mansion today." ”
At this time, the woman standing beside the strange man stepped forward and pointed at Tan Muxing, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, my brother never said that you are a concubine, just now you deliberately stepped forward and did not hold the teacup steady, and the teacup never accidentally fell to the ground." Don't slander my brother in front of so many people. ”
"Shut up! Chupe, stand in the back. After hearing this, everyone knew that this man was Yuan Chutian, the general of Yunlu who had just been personally crowned by the emperor, and they only saw that Yuan Chutian put his hand on the blade of the sword and said word by word,
"Tan Gongzi, my original Chutian has always done things above board, if Tan Gongzi thinks that I offended you, then I confessed to this crime today, in front of so many people, I apologize to you for my original Chutian, I shouldn't have knocked over the teacup in your hand."
Tan Muxing didn't expect Yuan Chutian to apologize so quickly, let alone Yuan Chutian who could speak like this, on the surface he was apologizing, but secretly he understood that it was him Tan Muxing who was making trouble unreasonably. Thinking of this, Tan Muxing was even more angry, and with his palm pushed forward, the tip of the sword had pierced Yuan Chutian's clothes, and even blood seeped out from the tip of the sword.
The women around secretly exclaimed!
Yin Yuxi set her eyes on Cheng Jianian who was standing in the crowd, Cheng Jianian's moon-like eyes were deep and thorough, but she could see the meaning of watching the drama hidden under the depths, I was afraid that all this was deliberately instructed by Cheng Jianian to Tan Muxing. Not only she could see it, but everyone here could see that Yuan Chutian had just been named General Yunlu by the emperor himself, and the Cheng Wangfu and Tan Mansion were deliberately crowding out the original family.
Yuan Chupei looked at Tan Muxing in a panic, "Tan Muxing, my brother apologized like you, why are you so unreasonable!" ”
"Now, I want him to kneel down and apologize to me." The anger in Tan Muxing's eyes had all turned into banter.
Yuan Chupei bit her lip stubbornly, looking around, everyone was watching the play, their brother and sister were isolated, and the grievances and anger in her heart made her have to make a decision at this time, just look at her eyes flashing, took out the long sword on her waist, flicked her right hand, and pointed the long sword at Tan Muxing's chest, "Let go of my brother!" ”
Everyone exclaimed again, but they didn't expect the woman to be very decisive. Seeing that the situation on both sides was becoming more and more tense, the two had no intention of letting go.
"Stop! Tan Muxing, don't hurry up and take back the sword. Tan Mufeng frowned and walked quickly, and before Tan Muxing could put away his sword, he had already grabbed the hilt of the sword and threw it on the ground, reprimanding Tan Muxing, "Everyone comes to Tan Mansion to taste tea today, no matter who they are, they are all guests, you really damage the face of Tan Mansion by doing this!" ”
Tan Muxing was not convinced, and still stretched out his hand to point at Yuan Chutian, "Big brother, it was he who was rude first, if I don't teach him a lesson today, wouldn't it make outsiders think that our Tan Mansion is easy to bully." ”
"Shut up!" Tan Mufeng scolded again, and then ordered the guard who stretched out his hand, "Tan Xi, take the second young master down." ”
"Yes, master." Tan Xi stepped forward and grabbed Tan Muxing, although Tan Muxing was angry, but the eldest brother spoke like an uncle in the house, he didn't dare to disobey too much, so he had to go with Tan Xi.
Tan Mufeng looked at Tan Muxing walking away in his eyes, and then arched his fist and apologized slightly, "Let Yuan Gongzi and Miss Yuan laugh, my second brother has always had a bad temper, and I hope the two of you can bear with me." His eyes fell on Yuan Chutian's chest, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "Yuan Gongzi comes with me, let's deal with the wound first, okay?" ”
"Hmm." Yuan Chutian covered his chest, and didn't forget to signal Yuan Chupei to follow.
When Tan Mufeng took Yuan Chutian and Yuan Chupei away, the crowd around the lake gradually dispersed. Yin Yuxi also wanted to turn around to find a quiet place, and when he didn't want to turn around, he was stopped by Cheng Jianian. Yinyuxi's facial features returned to a cold and arrogant color, with an elegant and elegant temperament, and his lips pursed lightly, looking at Cheng Jianian.
Cheng Jianian walked to the opposite side of Yin Yuxi, her moon-like eyes swept over her, and Qingjun's facial features always had a bit of elegance and leisure, "Just now, the county lord saw that the Yuan brothers and sisters were being bullied, why didn't you go and help." Could it be that the county lord still has a little concern for Shen Ruoting, so he also wants to see the jokes of the Yuan brothers and sisters? ”
If it weren't for Cheng Jianian standing opposite her, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him, and her lips opened lightly, "I don't care about Shen Ruoting, what does it have to do with you." Could it be that you are a man who also likes Shen Ruoting? ”
Hearing this, Cheng Jianian raised his head and smiled, his moon-like eyes became more and more deep and thorough, as if he could see people invisible, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I didn't expect the county lord to say these jokes." It seems that the county lord also has some advantages to staying by Tan Mufeng's side. He took a small step forward until the two of them were only two palms away, and he curled the corners of his lips, "Do you know why Shen Ruoting is now used by me?" ”
Yin Yuxi unconsciously took a step back, about to catch the emotions that flashed in Cheng Jianian's eyes, but unfortunately Cheng Jianian's mood changed too quickly, and she could only look elsewhere, "I have broken off with Shen Ruoting, and I ask Cheng Shizi not to talk about him anymore." ”
"Really?" Cheng Jianian smiled lightly and continued, "Do you know that the only person in this world who can make him change his mind is you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to hold him. After all, after so many years, he still has some feelings for you. ”
These words raised layers of waves in Yin Yuxi's heart, Yin Yuxi stared at Cheng Jiannian even more, not letting go of any look on his face, after being sure, the waves in her heart could not be dispersed, but she said calmly, "Cheng Jianian, I am not such a deceitful little girl, don't forget, I am your aunt." ”
"Auntie? Yes, isn't my aunt good at looking at faces, how can she not see the truth of what I said? After Cheng Jianian finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Standing in place, Yin Yuxi did not move for a long time, and now Cheng Jianian was scheming, she couldn't judge whether what he said was true or false, if it was true, did it mean that Shen Ruoting really had some feelings for her, but what was Shen Ruoting afraid of for so many years, thinking of this, Yin Yuxi was anxious to see Shen Ruoting, and wanted to know the answer from him.
"County Lord, let's go inside, shall we?" Behind him, Jue Xiao spoke.
Yin Yuxi retracted her thoughts, and then asked, "Have you seen your brother-in-law?" ”
Jue Xiao shook his head, "The slave didn't see it. Does the county lord want to see his aunt? Seeing Yin Yuxi nodded, she continued, "I heard that the tea party is about to start in a while, and the eldest aunt doesn't like to taste tea the most, so she should come to see it." ”.
"Tea party? But the ladies in each prefecture have to participate? "Yin Yuxi has only heard of it in previous years, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
Jue Xiao said carefully, "Yes, the ladies in each house should prepare to make tea, and then give it to the ladies to taste, and the ladies selected the top three after discussion, and the top three chose the men who participated in the tea banquet in turn, and traveled to the Begonia Garden with them." In order to be able to travel with the man you like, the ladies of each house invited a master to teach the way of making tea in the house a month ago. ”
Yin Yuxi was even more interested when she heard this, but glared at Juexiao, "Why didn't you say that before?" ”
Jue Xiao hurriedly explained: "County lord, the county lord didn't like to participate in these before, and the slaves and maids didn't know about it. It was only when the slave maid and Hua Luo were talking to a few maidservants over there just now that they slowly knew. ”
Hua Luo nodded hurriedly, and said kindly, "If the county lord wants to participate, it's okay." Presumably, those noble ladies will give the county lord some face. ”
"That's it, since I want to go to Begonia Garden, do I still need to compete with those women? Let's just see. Yin Yuxi put away the wide hem of his sleeves and walked into the attic again.
