Chapter 59 Plugging the archway of chastity
The flower-viewing banquet of the Suiguo Mansion is one of the feasts that the ladies of the capital are vying to go.
Not only because of the identity of the Duchess of the country, but also because of the annual banquet, the Queen Mother will send rewards, and even occasionally let the princesses in the palace come to be lively, and by the way, choose a horse.
For ordinary people, being a royal colt is the supreme honor.
Early in the morning, Zhu Zhu specially brought a lot of gold and silver beads and hairpins.
But as soon as she came, she saw the brocade box that had been opened on Wei Qingqing's dresser, and the hairpin ring with the brocade skirt inside, gorgeous but not eye-catching, and the workmanship was even better.
"This satin is the palace this year's new treasure brocade, I heard that the palace only got a total of twelve, after distributing to the princesses, two or three horses were given to a few palaces, but there is one horse in the Suiguo Mansion." Zhu Zhu said in amazement, Lan Sheng smiled and shook off his clothes, the pattern of the clothes was embroidered with a little silver thread, and it looked even more shining in the sun, as if the flowers were alive, and the light blue and white color became more and more elegant, which showed that this tailoring was even more effortless.
Zhu Zhu stared at this dress for a long time before he hurriedly urged Wei Qingqing to change it.
Wei Qingqing is not very rare in this dress, she used to be in the Prime Minister's Mansion, because her appearance was ruined, so she was very particular about dressing, and she never limited how much silver. She had worn a lot of such objects.
But her calmness seemed to Zhu Zhu in the eyes, but she was not shocked by honor and disgrace, which made Zhu Zhu admire it even more.
Waiting for Lan Sheng's skillful hands to Wei Qingqing to pull a stunning bun, the hairpin is inlaid with pearl flowers and two or three tassel hairpins, slightly powdered, Zhu Zhu is even more stupid: "Qingqing, I usually only think you are good-looking, but I have never thought you are so good-looking, you are really like a fairy in the sky." The world says that Miss Su Su of the General's Mansion is a heavenly immortal, take my look. You are. ”
"Miss Zhu praises me like this, and I can't say a few words in front of my eldest brother." Wei Qingqing winked at her, and Zhu Zhu's face suddenly turned red.
However, Wei Qingqing is indeed very satisfied with today's makeup, today she just wants to make her eyes, that is, to make everyone who cares to stare at her, so that she can drag Rong Ruizhang to her bureau!
After thinking about it, Wei Qingqing glanced at the pink rouge on one side, lifted the brush, and pointed out a pale pink peach blossom between her eyebrows.
Seeing Zhu Zhu on the side in shock, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, she chose a bright red rouge, and dotted a three-petal plum blossom between her eyebrows, which better matched her begonia red dress today.
"Miss Zhu is also beautiful, just like the person in the painting." Lan Zhi smiled.
Zhu Zhu looked at himself in the bronze mirror, although he was beautiful but inconspicuous before, his facial features immediately came alive at this moment, he was indeed much more beautiful than before, and his face instantly turned red again.
When the two walked all the way to the gate of the Wei Mansion, Wei Hu directly exaggerated the shout, and Wei Xun turned around. The bottom of his eyes also flashed with a hint of amazement, and then he saluted Zhu slightly: "Today's little sister will be taken care of by Miss Lao Zhu." ”
"Where, Wei Gongzi is polite."
Zhu Zhu's face was red as if he was about to drip blood, and he lowered his eyebrows and said softly.
Wei Qingqing could see that Wei Xun was already deliberately approaching Zhuzhu.
She pulled Zhu Zhu's sleeve and smiled lightly: "It's not early, let's go." ”
"Well, my carriage is just outside, and it's only a few steps away, but it's better to keep an eye on it." Zhu Zhu looked at the handsome and elegant Wei Xun with bright eyes, and then hurriedly lowered his head and went out with Wei Qingqing.
Wei Hu still said to Wei Xun heartlessly: "Big brother, let's two big men, let's walk over, anyway, we won't enjoy the flowers, so let's go to the front yard to find a place to have a meal." ”
Wei Xun nodded: "Let's follow the carriage." ”
Wei Xun's voice was not loud, but Zhu Zhu, who was walking in front, still heard it, pursed the corners of his lips shyly and got into the carriage, and then sat down with a tight body.
Wei Qingqing got into the carriage and asked her, "Miss Zhu, has you thought about what kind of person you will marry in the future?" ”
"Huh?" Zhu Zhu was stunned, thinking that Wei Qingqing was making fun of her, and couldn't help glaring at her: "When did Qingqing learn badly." ”
"Getting married is a lifelong thing, Miss Zhu, you can't just look at your appearance." Wei Qingqing didn't know why she wanted to say such a thing to her, didn't she still look forward to Zhu Zhu marrying Wei Xun before, but now, Wei Qingqing always has a little pity for Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu didn't understand Wei Qingqing's words, Wei Qingqing only told her to go back and think about it carefully, besides, most of the marriage of men and women is the words of the matchmaker of her parents, she thought, she will not think about everything to the worst side.
The carriage quickly stopped.
This time, there were no more troublesome people at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, Wei Qingqing and Zhu Zhu went smoothly to the flower hall with Mama Cao, who was waiting, to greet the Duchess of Guo.
However, when she said goodbye, Wei Qingqing glanced at the familiar faces in the upper and lower halls, and guessed the purpose of the Duchess of Guo to invite herself to participate in this flower party.
Out of the flower hall, Zhu Zhucai told her in a low voice about the Guogong Mansion: "The Guogong Mansion has two rooms, the big room is the branch of the Duchess of the State, and the second room is also the old Guogong's wife, but now the old lady is a continuation of the string, which means that although the Duchess of the Guogong is a descendant and has also inherited the title, the biological mother of the Guogong died early." Now although the Duchess of the House is in charge, it is not a simple role to be the living old lady, I heard my grandmother say that the title of the big house was almost a little bit, and it became the second room. ”
Wei Qingqing naturally knew these reasons, and she had also wondered if it was because of this old lady who had not come out of the knees of the two masters of the big house.
"Before, these two rooms have been working as officials outside, and it seems that they have only been transferred back to the capital in the past few days, saying that they are to participate in the wedding of the second master. Qingqing, after you enter the house, you should be careful, I heard my mother say that the second master has married three ladies before, but none of them can live for a long time, although they all died of illness, but who knows if it is ......" Rong Erye Ke wife These words, Zhu Zhu did not say it. Wei Qingqing naturally guessed that the rumors of Rong Cheke's wife were very famous in the capital.
While the two were gossiping, Wei Qingqing was bumped head-on by a girl.
Yahuan hurriedly apologized in a panic, and said: "The slave maid is in a hurry to go to Linglong Mountain to deliver things, and please don't blame the slave maid for the two young ladies." ”
"It's fine." Zhu Zhu saw that Wei Qingqing was not injured, so he hurriedly sent Yahuan away, and saved the people from the Guogong Mansion from seeing it, and made up the words that Wei Qingqing began to bully his subordinates before she got married.
But Wei Qingqing understood the meaning of this girl, it was Rong Ruizhang who sent someone to urge him.
Wei Qingqing looked in front of him, the lake in May was sparkling, many young ladies were boating on the lake, and there were sons on the other side of the bank who were looking here, but their eyes were mainly gathered in the shady pavilion by the lake.
At this time, in the pavilion, Wei Susu was drawing on a pot of pansies that were blooming just right, Xu Yao was engrossed, but the county lord of Chi Yang was bored and shook his handkerchief and looked around.
Seeing Xu Yao, Zhu Zhu's face changed a little.
"Qingqing, let's not be here."
"Okay." Wei Qingqing smiled lightly at the gaze of the county lord of Shangchi Yang, and then turned around and left with Zhu Zhu.
The county lord of Chi Yang was bored, and the moment he saw Wei Qingqing's beautiful little face, he slapped the table and got up.
The people in the pavilion looked at her in unison: "County Lord, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, I'm sitting with sore legs, and I'm going to move my muscles." After saying that, the county lord of Chiyang snorted and walked forward.
Wei Susu saw Wei Qingqing's back from a distance, and then looked at the menacing Chi Yang, and stopped the young ladies who wanted to follow. Smile: "The county lord must be idle, there are women here on the left and right, let her walk freely, let's go with us, but it will disturb her interest." ”
"That's right, that's right." Xu Yao immediately chimed in
Wei Susu glanced at her, the corner of her eyes darkened a little, and she showed the painted painting to the ladies for appreciation, and then sighed lightly: "It would be good if I could get out of the way, the lord of Chiyang County is impatient, if no one follows, I don't worry." ”
When Xu Yao heard this, she immediately volunteered: "Why don't I follow for the third lady." I'll follow you from afar, and if anything happens, I'll call someone back to you right away. ”
"This ......" Wei Susu looked at her in embarrassment: "How can you ask Sister Yao to do such a thing." ”
Xu Yao heard her call herself so affectionately, and felt more and more that she had done the right thing, not only to please Wei Susu, but also to ask the county lord to take a look if something happened to the county lord, so she hurriedly said: "What is this, Su Su, don't worry, I will definitely do things properly, you are here to rest, the sun is bright outside, don't bask you." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up his skirt and quietly followed Chi Yang.
Wei Susu looked at Xu Yao, who was fooled by a little trick, with pity, and covered the disdain in his eyes, so he took the maid ring beside him and went to the place where Rong Che was.
At this time, Wei Qingqing walked for a while. He opened the Zhu Zhu and went alone in the direction of the Seven Tricks Linglong Mountain.
Chi Yang followed from a distance, and saw that Wei Qingqing was actually alone, and went to a rockery sneakily, so he was even more happy, grabbed his whip, and ordered the maids around him: "You all wait here for me, don't come!" ”
"But the county lord ......"
"Whoever is disobedient, the county lord will sell her directly, do you hear!" Chi Yang was used to being domineering, so he didn't care what these maids were worried about, and when he saw Wei Qingqing enter the rockery, he quickly followed.
The maids couldn't, and they were afraid that others would know that their county lord was running around in the Guogong Mansion and causing gossip, so they had to hide under the forest next to them first.
As soon as Wei Qingqing entered the rockery, he noticed that there was no one inside, and Rong Ruizhang hadn't come yet.
But it should be soon.
Wei Qingqing's footsteps stopped slightly, hung the handkerchief in his hand in a corner of the rockery, and hid it smoothly to the side.
She thought that Rong Ruizhang would not be too late.
"What about people?"
Outside. The voice of the county lord of Chi Yang has already arrived.
Wei Qingqing carefully stood against the hole in the rockery wall, and her breathing eased.
At the entrance of the cave, Chi Yang poked his neck and looked into the cave, he really didn't see anyone, and he was unwilling to go back like this, she remembered the last time Wei Hu called her ugly, Su Su also said, this Wei Qingqing seems simple, but he is a scheming person, otherwise he would not have just entered Beijing, so he would have made Rong Xiang jealous of Rong Erye's two uncles and nephews.
Chi Yang also thinks so, she has to teach this fox spirit a lesson today, it is best to make that reckless man Wei Hu angry like thunder!
Thinking of this, Chi Yang became a little happier and happier a little, and walked in without warning.
As soon as she entered the cave, she saw the handkerchief left by Wei Qingqing, which was pale tooth-white and embroidered with delicate orchids.
"Hmph, fox tricks." Chi Yang snorted, then raised the whip and knocked the handkerchief down, but he didn't want to hit it, but he swept out a lot of dust, Chi Yang couldn't dodge, and choked and coughed several times.
When she finished coughing, she felt that something was wrong, her limbs had no strength, and the person shook, barely holding on to the wall to keep from falling.
And at this time, Rong Ruizhang got the news that Wei Qingqing had entered the cave, and he quickly followed. He knew that Granny Jiang was Wei Qingqing's weakness, and with this weakness in his hands, Rong Ruizhang was not worried that Wei Qingqing would escape from his palm at all!
"Is that you?"
As soon as Rong Ruizhang came in, Chi Yang turned his head.
Rong Ruizhang frowned, looked into the cave, and didn't see Wei Qingqing's shadow at all, didn't she care about Granny Jiang's life and death?
Thinking of this, Rong Ruizhang's face collapsed a little, even so. Tomorrow, he will really send Granny Jiang's whole hand over......
"Smack——!
Before Rong Ruizhang could finish thinking about it, Chi Yang's whip was pulled down at him, and it was directly whipped on his face, bringing out a blood mark that could not be concealed.
The county lord of Chi Yang is notoriously rude and spicy in the capital, compared to Rong Jinning, Rong Ruizhang wiped the blood on his face, stared at the little county lord in front of him with misty eyes, and gritted his teeth: "County lord, what's wrong?" Uncomfortable, if so, Weichen doesn't mind sending the county lord out. ”
I can't catch Wei Qingqing, there is a little county lord who sent it to the door. Not bad either!
Rong Ruizhang's thoughts were spinning fast, the little county lord's father, King Ruyang, was the emperor's only brother.
Thinking of this, Rong Ruizhang's eyes sank, and he walked towards Chi Yang.
But Chi Yang doesn't like Rong Ruizhang, even though Rong Ruizhang's appearance and family background are among the best in the capital.
"What do you want to do? Get out of the way, you dare to touch me......"
Chi Yang began to swing the whip indiscriminately, but was grabbed by Rong Ruizhang.
Chi Yang wanted to pull it back, but Rong Ruizhang simply pulled her over, and his hand directly clamped her waist, looking at her with a displeased face, he snorted coldly: "What's wrong with the county lord, you don't even have the strength to stand firm, how dare the lower officials leave you here alone?" ”
"You let go of ......" Chi Yang shook his head, feeling that his consciousness seemed to be gradually becoming clearer, and the strength of his hands and feet was slowly recovering.
She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, although her kung fu is average, but her strength is very great, even Rong Ruizhang, who is a few years older than her, was almost broken free by her for a while.
Rong Ruizhang saw that the matter had come to this, how could he let go?
Marrying Chi Yang, the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely be able to go to the next level, and he doesn't have to be pressed by the Guogong Mansion like now.
"The county lord Xu is happy to have a banquet today, and he has a few more drinks." Rong Ruizhang's hand reached into her waist and touched her belt, and he was about to tear it open in the next second, but in this second, a soft cry from the entrance of the cave had already come.
"County Lord, Prime Minister?"
Xu Yao originally wanted to see how the county lord Chi Yang made Wei Qingqing make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect that when he first came, he saw Chi Yang hugging Rong Ruizhang.
She also had a stiff brain, and hurriedly opened her eyes again, saying, "I...... I'll leave ...... now."
"Don't go... Hmmm......"
Before Chi Yang finished speaking, he was covered by Rong Ruizhang's mouth, and Xu Yao was already blushing and hurriedly walked back.
Chi Yang felt scared for the first time, glaring at Rong Ruizhang and trying to kick Rong Ruizhang, but Rong Ruizhang didn't give her a chance, and directly pressed her against the wall and asked her, "What's wrong with the county lord?" Your face is very hot, did you come here with Wei Qingqing all the way? ”
Wei Qingqing suddenly disappeared. Rong Ruizhang is not a fool, he will not jump into such an obvious trap, but he doesn't want to let go of the fat of Chi Yang County Lord.
mentioned Wei Qingqing, Chi Yang's tears fell instantly, it must have been Wei Qingqing who deliberately harmed her!
She nodded hurriedly, and Rong Ruizhang said: "I was also deceived by Wei Qingqing, it seems that we have all fallen for her." However, the county lord, I see that your face is not good, and you may have been drugged, so I detained you, so that you and I would not be used in vain. ”
"Really?"
Rong Ruizhang let go of his hand slightly, and Chi Yang asked anxiously.
Rong Ruizhang nodded, and said softly: "But now we can talk slowly." After speaking, Rong Ruizhang took out his handkerchief and gave it to Chi Yang, motioning her to wipe her tears.
Chi Yang saw that he had retreated a little, and then took his handkerchief suspiciously, but the aroma on the handkerchief was exactly the same as the one she smelled when she was choked.
Ji Yang was not an idiot, and his hands suddenly stiffened. looked at Rong Ruizhang in amazement: "The smell on this handkerchief is the same as what I smelled just now?" ”
"Same?"
Rong Ruizhang's hand hanging down his sleeve clenched instantly, but he didn't expect Wei Qingqing to actually pose for him here. There is no drug on this handkerchief at all, it just has the smoke and fragrance that he usually uses, and his real drug is in the palm of his hand at this moment, which was originally intended to be used against Wei Qingqing.
Seeing that he hesitated, Chi Yang didn't think about it, turned his head and ran out.
Rong Ruizhang's heart was not good, and he also stepped to follow, but when he heard behind him, the voice of Wei Qingqing, who he had missed for a long time, finally came.
"How about I make a deal with Xiangye?" Wei Qingqing looked at the angry Rong Ruizhang and asked.
"You still dare to make a deal with me?" Rong Ruizhang was about to approach in the direction of Wei Qingqing, but Gong Chang's voice came from outside: "Xiangye, as soon as the county lord went out just now, he met all the ladies who came here together. ”
Rong Ruizhang's face was so black that he was about to drip water, and he turned his head and looked at Wei Qingqing with a sneer: "I always knew that you were vicious, but I didn't expect you to really change at all." Wei Qingqing, do you hate me for neglecting you for so many years, that's right, since I married you and entered the door, I have accepted a lot of concubines, but how can you not reflect on whether you have fulfilled your duty as a wife, taught your husband and children, and served your in-laws, which one have you done and done well? ”
After all, Rong Ruizhang thought that Wei Qingqing would be angry, ashamed, and would realize the reason why he had snubbed her for so many years.
Unexpectedly, Wei Qingqing looked at him and just smiled coldly.
This feeling of not being in control made Rong Ruizhang feel very bad, but now he knew that it was not the time to continue to entangle with Wei Qingqing: "If you still want Granny Jiang to live, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight and serve me happily, I may be able to make her suffer less torture......
Saying that, Rong Ruizhang was about to leave, but he heard Wei Qingqing still standing in place coldly and indifferently, and asked him: "Didn't I just say that I want to make a deal with Xiangye?" ”
"Are you worthy of ......?"
"I don't deserve it. But I think that the chastity archway of the old lady of Shangzhang may be worthy! Wei Qingqing looked at the conceited man in front of him indifferently, since he recognized himself whether he admitted it or not, he recognized that he was the former wife, then she didn't have to hide it anymore, the big deal, the fish died and the net was broken, and they all died together!
