CHAPTER XIV
Because today is the tea tasting meeting of several ladies in Beijing, the first floor of Pinzhen Building has been packaged, and the box upstairs is not for ordinary people to enter, so there is no usual liveliness.
If it weren't for Wen Zhili's identity, He Luo wouldn't have been able to enter Pinzhen Building at all. Thinking of this, He Luo felt that he was lucky, if it was usually Wen Zhili, he would not join in the excitement at all.
They entered the box on the second floor, and Wen Zhili ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks. He Luo stood beside him, and did not speak, but kept his eyes on the door.
Guessing her thoughts, Wen Zhili said, "Since you are so curious, why don't you go to the first floor to see?" ”
He Luo's eyes seemed to be shining, and he asked, "Is it really possible?" ”
"If you want to be blasted out." Wen Zhili said and took a sip of tea.
"Master, aren't you curious?" He Luo asked.
Wen Zhili glanced at her and said, "I don't like to be too lively. ”
"Then you're coming here?" He Luo muttered quietly.
"That's because Pinzhen Building is usually noisier." Wen Zhili's voice was calm.
"Master, it seems to have started below?" He Luo has been carefully concerned about the movement outside.
"So you want to see it?" Wen Zhili raised an eyebrow at her. Hearing him ask, He Luo nodded excitedly. Wen Zhili shook his head with a smile, picked up the fan and got up from his seat, and walked towards the door.
Xiao Er, who was guarding the door, saw Wen Zhili come out, and saluted and asked him if he needed anything. Wen Zhili shook his head, walked to the edge of the railing and looked at the young ladies who were already seated below.
The little second saw that Wen Zhili was fine, so he continued to stay in his place. He Luo stood next to Wen Zhili and looked down curiously.
Almost all of those young ladies appeared in the portraits given by the old lady, and when He Luo investigated, he basically remembered who was who. She introduced Wen Zhili one by one: "The one who wears the lake green clothes is the daughter of Master Xue of the Ministry of Rites, the blue one is the Miss Xie I said, and the pink one is Zhang Hanxi, Miss Zhang, who I also talked about." And ......."
When He Luo introduced them one by one, but when he saw a person, He Luo said "Huh", and Wen Zhili looked at her with some doubts.
He Luo whispered: "Master, Miss Chu is also here." It was the girl in the red shirt and the simple bun with a whip at hand. He Luo said, pointing.
Wen Zhili looked along He Luo's hand and saw a very handsome woman, she sat there impatiently, as if she couldn't sit still.
"I think it's novel that Miss Chu would come to such an occasion." He Luo's voice was very brisk, "But it doesn't seem that I saw Miss Ye Shangshu's family." ”
"Ye Shangshu's daughter will not participate in this kind of occasion." Wen Zhili's voice is gentle.
"Do you know Miss Ye?" He Luo looked at Wen Zhili curiously.
"One side." Wen Zhili's voice was very gentle, and his eyes were observing those young ladies.
At this moment, He Luo saw what Miss He said to Miss Xie, Miss Xie's hand supported the pearl hairpin on her head, and she pulled Wen Zhili's sleeve. Wen Zhili looked at her, and He Luo said to him: "Master, the show has begun." ”
As He Luo's gaze looked, I saw Miss Xie slowly speak: "Sister Yan'er really has good eyesight, this pearl hairpin is a new product of Zhenbao Zhai." But I didn't buy it myself, it was given to me by someone else. ”
"Who gave it to my sister?" He Yanran asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid you won't believe it, but I met the person on the left when I was shopping yesterday, and it was given to me by that person." Xie Lingxi covered his mouth and smiled after speaking.
"Sister, you can't talk nonsense, what did the people of Zuo Xiang do when she sent her sister Zhuchai?" Xu Rouling's voice was a little questioning. The other ladies also discussed Xie Lingxi's words, and Chu Anning yawned, hoping that this tea party would end soon.
"Sister, do you know that there is a personal maid next to Zuo Xiang, who looks like she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and it seems that she is called Heluo." Xie Lingxi looked at Xu Rouling proudly.
"You told her your name?" Wen Zhili frowned and looked at He Luo.
He Luo waved his hand and said, "Master, I didn't mention my name in half a sentence. But Sister Yingying was also there yesterday, and she introduced me to Miss Xie, maybe she said it. ”
Wen Zhili nodded and didn't say anything more. He Luo was afraid that he would be angry, so he kept secretly observing him, and saw that he didn't react, but just looked down calmly with his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Rouling thought about it carefully, Wen Zhili was surrounded by a girl named He Luo, and she had just seen it. She looked at Xie Lingxi's smug appearance and was a little unhappy. So he said: "Maybe it's just that the maid sent it to you to please you, and it has nothing to do with Zuo Xiang." ”
"Sister, this pearl hairpin is so expensive, where does a little maid get so much money?" Xie Lingxi's words are already obvious, this pearl hairpin was given by Wen Zhili to the maid.
The other ladies on one side were whispering, after all, Wen Zhili proposed to the Xu family, and the dowry was returned to spread in the circle of the ladies. As soon as she was withdrawn here, she gave Miss Xie something over there, and the fool understood what it meant.
Xu Rouling's face was a little unbearable, and Xie Lingxi looked at her unhappy appearance, and her heart was even more proud. I saw Xie Lingxi take a sip of tea and said, "Didn't my sister return the dowry of others?" Why, I don't seem to be happy at this time. ”
"Sister, don't be complacent, I'm seeing Zuo Xiang today. And he gave me a sachet. Xu Rouling said and took it out of her sleeve.
Xie Lingxi didn't take it seriously, she slowly spoke: "Sister, your sachet seems to be some years. Zuo Xiang won't send you this kind of thing! Also, how do you prove that it was sent by the left? ”
"My maid-in-law has seen it, do you need any proof?" Xu Rouling raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
"Sister, your maids and mothers-in-law are all your people, and they will definitely help you speak!" Xie Lingxi continued.
"Sister, don't forget, Zuo Xiang came to my house to propose." Xu Rouling moved out of this matter at this time.
Xie Lingxi smiled after hearing this: "But Zuo Xiang didn't go in person, right?" ”
Xu Rouling was a little embarrassed on her face, but she still steadied her mind and said: "Zuo Xiang is busy with official business, and it is not incomprehensible. But the two men sent were his henchmen. ”
Wen Zhili heard this and said to He Luo: "Go back." ”
He Luo was seeing Xing's head, Wen Zhili turned to leave, she didn't stay, she didn't go. After a moment's struggle, he looked at the argument below, gritted his teeth and kept up with Wen Zhili's footsteps.
