Chapter 32: Overshadowed
"Girl? It turns out that you have already seen it. The girl chuckled a little embarrassedly.
"You're a woman?" Zong Zhengye looked at the girl and saw that she was white and clean, and she did have a bit of a woman's posture and appearance.
Liangchen didn't care too much about her honesty, but her next sentence also made Liangchen curious.
"It's no wonder, after all, everyone is pretending to be a man, how can they not see it? Yes, miss. It turned out that she had already seen her daughter's outfit.
It's kind of interesting.
"Hehe, yes." Liangchen replied with a helpless smile.
The girl didn't say anything more, but bent down and said, "Then we will meet again, miss." I'll remember this favor. Then she turned around, and walked away with her little servant in the opposite direction to Liangchen.
"Eldest sister......" Zong Zhengye called out to the cool dust who was in a trance.
Liang Chen came back to his senses, and didn't say anything, so he tugged at the corner of Zong Zhengye's clothes and said, "Let's go, let's eat."
The people are noisy, and at night, it is the most lively time in Shaohuayuan. Laughter and cheering filled the tall and bright building, and the men and women, some hugging and some affectionate, couldn't bear to look at it directly.
But right here, there is a quiet room, where the red candles are lit, and the red night spring tent is waiting for the beauty. But on the round table in the room were five beautiful men.
There were delicious dishes and qiong brew on the table, but none of the five people moved their chopsticks, at most they just picked up the wine glass in front of them and took a sip, as if they were drinking tea.
Yan Wuyuan supported his head with one hand and looked at Yan Jiusi with a smile, making Yan Jiusi feel that he had bad intentions at a glance, picked up the teacup on the side and blew a few sips and asked, "What do you think of me doing this?" There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Uncle Huang, this Miss Zongzheng is quite funny. How's your progress? Yan Wuyuan was also a bad taste, and deliberately asked him this question.
"There's no progress, she's pretty well guarded." Yan Jiusi finished speaking very indifferently, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea, soothing his eyebrows. This tea is fragrant but not as greasy as imagined, only a little fragrance lingers between the lips and teeth.
"This tea is good." Yan Jiu Si said, he didn't seem to care about Fang Cai's affairs at all.
Just now he saw Liangchen being pulled in and holding the beauty in his hand, originally wanted to see how she solved it, but she used that trick "picking thorns". He wasn't too surprised, he just felt that she wasn't stupid, and it wasn't that easy to deceive in vain.
"This is specially made by Wan'er for you, and it took Wan'er a lot of thought." A shrill voice came, followed by the sound of the door opening, and it was the old bustard who had just come to cool the dust. She still walked in gracefully twisting her willow waist.
But this time she didn't dare to pounce on anyone, she didn't know what the people sitting there were. The emperor of the dignified Southern Emperor Dynasty and the famous King Xuansi are also here, and the few people around him who are either royal or high-ranking officials just look at their clothes and bearing. It's just that the other three imposing men all look like they are only in their twenties, and they shouldn't be high-ranking officials, they should be the children of nobles with high status.
"Aunt Linglong, can you send someone to guard outside?" Yan Jiusi didn't pay attention to Linglong's rudeness of pushing the door at will, because it was too confidential, and it was not a good place for people to talk about it. Therefore, Yan Jiusi generally doesn't say anything important here, and sends some people from this Shaohuayuan to do some things, so he is naturally familiar with this exquisite old bustard.
But for the sake of prudence, the second floor was usually emptied if they were to come, and many people were sent to patrol it quietly in turn.
"Hey, Lord Wang, don't worry, I have already sent someone to guard it strictly. It's just that the woman just let her escape, and she didn't get anything out. Linglong only then did she restrain her profligacy, and she bowed to Yan Jiusi, and became respectful and serious.
"It's okay, it's just a woman anyway, and after fleeing, a person is helpless, and it can't pose a threat." Yan Jiusi didn't even look at her, just looked out the window and said. The night outside was confused, and the moonlight was shining, like a woman dancing on the ground.
"If it weren't for the stinky girl who came out of nowhere and was dressed as a man, maybe she would have gained something by now." Linglong pursed her lips and said with some cold hatred.
Her words caused a boy next to her to laugh, who was wearing a brown brocade robe and holding a folding fan, which looked a little old, and the skeleton of the fan had been somewhat polished smooth. He opened the folding fan and fanned it a few times, unable to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Ah Xiao, what are you laughing at?" Yan Wuyuan looked at Gongsun Xiao a little cluelessly, and asked curiously.
Gongsun Xiao glanced at Yan Jiusi, who was indifferent, and his smile increased a little, and he poked Yan Jiusi's backbone with some meaning, and said: "That's it, which girl is so disobedient, and a woman dresses up as a man to spoil the prince's good deeds." He said very reservedly, wanting to see how Yan Jiusi reacted.
But unfortunately, he didn't react at all now, and as always, he played with the folding fan in his hand, not caring at all. After all, Zongzheng Liangchen is just his nominal princess, and he doesn't need to think too much about it at all, so her affairs are just, so to speak, he sent time in his spare time.
"Huh? Which one? What are you talking about? Didn't you say that you came here to find out if there were any spikes from the northern country mixed into Lingcheng? Why is this girl, that woman dressed as a man? There were some immature men beside Gongsun Xiao who looked one or two years younger than the others, full of confusion and curiosity.
Listening to them go around and around, this girl, that woman's, he was confused. He is not a good person, he has a straightforward temperament, and he can't bear to ask around the corner.
"Hehe, Lin Huan, you still don't understand. Every time we get down to business, it's like you've just woken up. Gongsun Xiao shook his head helplessly and said to Lin Huan.
"Hey, I don't understand, can't I talk well? I have to beat around the bush, and I am in a hurry to hear it. Lin Huan pursed his lips to express dissatisfaction.
"If I'm not mistaken, the woman you're talking about is the fugitive lord of the northern kingdom, right? And the other ...... It's ......" Finally, the beautiful man looked at Yan Jiusi with interest, and was glared back by Yan Jiusi. He also forced a smile and said no more.
"Why did even Aze start learning Brother Jiusi, I don't know if I haven't read many documents since I was a child, and I have been practicing the art of war and reading military literature with my father, where is it so twisted?" Song Ze's "help" caused Lin Huan to be extremely dissatisfied and complain endlessly.
Song Ze patted Lin Huan's shoulder helplessly, but said a little comfortingly: "You, if you continue to be so upright, you will suffer." The world is sinister, learn more from the Nine Divisions. It made Lin Huan's heart a little more depressed.
Yan Jiusi didn't care much about their jokes, but turned his head to Linglong on the side and ordered: "You go down first, the county lord of the northern kingdom doesn't need to think too much, let's see if there are any people or officials who have done a thing."
"Yes, follow the orders of the prince." Linglong possessed and saluted to receive the order.
"Let's go down."
"Yes."
Linglong walked to the door and saw a stunning woman leaning on the side, wearing a peach-colored gauze dress, her black hair was simply pulled up, but she had been quietly taken care of, wearing a peach-colored pink hairpin, delicate and gorgeous. The woman's skin was fine and white, her eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and her facial features were petite and fine, like she was dressed in Jiangnan smoke and rain.
If Zongzheng Asakawa sees it, I'm afraid he will have to be a little lower than her in appearance.
The woman Qianqianyu was holding an antique pipa in her hand, with a hesitant look on her face, but her cheeks were shy, as if she was nervous.
Linglong suddenly remembered something, turned to the people in the room and smiled: "Since there is nothing serious, then everyone should rest and relax." Lord, I'll ask Wan'er to play a song for you. ”
Linglong turned around and beckoned Yao Wan'er, who was waiting on the side, and Wan'er hesitated and was about to step forward, her face was even more shy, which was endearing and pitiful.
But just as she took the first step, Yan Jiusi's voice as clear as a sweet spring came from inside the house: "No need, you are not allowed to approach here without my orders."
This beautiful voice pierced Yao Wan'er's heart like a sharp ice pick, cold with a chill, without a trace of emotion. She was really sad, it had been nearly a month, he hadn't seen her, and the last time she spoke to him was to report the information she had gathered for him.
Now he finally came here again, but decisively refused to see her. Yao Wan'er's shyness dissipated, and only the tingling sensation kept beating her, making her burst into tears.
“…… Be. After hearing Yan Jiusi's instructions, Linglong couldn't say much, so she had to close the door, gently soothes the sad Yao Wan'er with her hand, and comforts her softly: "Don't worry, when the prince is busy these days, he will naturally come again, and then you have to behave well in front of him to tie his heart."
Yao Wan'er didn't suddenly become enlightened by Linglong's words, just nodded, reluctantly looked back at the closed door, and walked away.
Linglong watched Yao Wan'er leave with the pipa in her arms and sighed helplessly, and murmured: "You stupid boy just fell in love with someone who shouldn't be watched, even if you like it in a thousand ways, it may not be effective." That's all I can do for you. ”
The most famous thing about this Shaohuayuan is that there is no one in the top brand, Yao Wan'er, who has only shown her face once in front of everyone so far, but it has attracted many men to fall in love with it. She is good at singing and playing the pipa, only art, has always been the treasure of Shaohua Garden, who would have thought that she is so lonely and embarrassed now?
