Chapter 20: Swimming in the Lake (2)

Shi Qingluo was silent for a while, raised his arm and said: "Although I want to accompany my cousin, but I am still injured, and it will inevitably disturb your Yaxing at that time, not to mention that the county lord did not invite me, I am uninvited, if the county lord is to blame, my cousin will not be able to get over the face." ”

"If the county lord of others is naturally not happy, but what the cousin says is also the lady of Shangshufu, presumably the county lord also understands, and will not say anything, as for the cousin's injury, it is okay, as long as it does not touch the water, we are just drinking tea and chatting on the painting boat, and if we don't do anything else, my cousin will not shirk. ”

Ding Xiuxiu persuaded again and again, her original intention was to make a fuss on tomorrow's lake tour, if Shi Qingluo didn't go, then what would it mean for her to go? Anhe County Lord's temperament has always been difficult, I'm afraid that if it weren't for the fact that King You'an and Ding Mao had some contacts, Anhe County Lord wouldn't have paid attention to her.

The young ladies invited by the county lord of Anhe were all from the local Taishou county family, and they didn't look down on her from a merchant family, and they had to go when they were invited to go on weekdays, and they had to be sneered at, Ding Xiuxiu wanted to take Shi Qingluo there, just hoping to divert the attention of these eldest ladies.

Shi Qingluo pondered for a moment of embarrassment, raised his head slightly, smiled, and said, "In this way, I might as well obey my fate respectfully." ”

When Zhang heard that Ding Xiuxiu was going to lead Shi Qingluo to the invitation of the county lord of Anhe, he was still quite upset, so he rushed to Ding Xiuxiu's courtyard early in the morning, and told her bitterly: "When you arrive at the banquet, you must not talk nonsense, remember not to make mistakes in front of the county lord of Anhe, if you don't like Shi Qingluo, your mother will naturally be able to avenge you in the house, don't be impulsive, but lose the interest of the county lord of Anhe!"

Ding Xiuxiu's cannon-like temperament doesn't know how many articles have been done in Youzhou, the ladies of the family in Youzhou City are not happy to get along with her, Zhang's heart is broken for Ding Xiuxiu, I am afraid that she will be impulsive this time and cause trouble for herself.

Ding Xiuxiu sat in front of the bronze mirror and made up, and interrupted Zhang with an impatient expression, "Okay, mother, don't say it, I have my own measure." ”

Zhang glanced at her angrily, and saw that Ding Xiuxiu didn't want to listen to her anymore, so he simply got up and walked out, casually beckoned Yuexing, who was guarding the door, and whispered: "You follow the second lady to the banquet, you must protect her, if you let me know that something happened, you are the only one who asks!"

Yue Xing nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, madam, the slaves and maids all understand, and they will not let the young lady suffer!"

When it was time to arrive, Zhang followed Ding Xiuxiu to the door of Ding's mansion, and Shi Qingluo was already waiting at the door.

She was weak, wearing a green embroidered acacia armor, with a rabbit down collar around her neck, and a sharpened jaw buried in the rabbit down, making her face more and more small, and Biran stood beside her, holding a fox fur shawl in her hand.

Seeing Zhang's group coming from a distance, Bi Ran looked at Shi Qingluo, who was stunned with his hair down, and said, "Miss, Mrs. Zhang and Miss Ding are here." ”

Shi Qingluo came back to his senses, turned his head to the side, and waited for the Zhang family to approach before bowing to him, "Uncle, cousin." She whispered.

Zhang didn't want to deal with her, but Ding Mao's warning was still ringing in his mind, Zhang smiled on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, "Don't be so polite, you are not in good health, your cousin and I know it." ”

Zhang looked her up and down a few times, "You are still wearing less, you are weak, but don't blow the wind and get cold, and get offended again." ”

Zhang pretended to be worried and frowned, Ding Xiuxiu stepped forward and said, "I can't stand it, there is a stove burning on the carriage, on such a cold day, the county lord on the painting boat must have also mentioned something, it will definitely not freeze you." ”

"What my cousin said is that my aunt doesn't have to worry. It's not too early, but don't delay the appointment. Shi Qingluo withdrew his hand and said.

The Zhang family always felt uneasy that something was going to happen, but it was almost time to make an appointment with the county lord of Anhe, and Shi Qingluo was here again, so Zhang couldn't tell Ding Xiuxiu anymore, so he had to watch her and Shi Qingluo embark on the road to Qianse Lake one after the other.

The lake tour place set by the lord of Anhe County is in a suburban lake not far from Youzhou City. The area of Qianse Lake is very large, there are trees standing around, the scenery is excellent on weekdays, there are many ferryboat boats on the lake, and there are people who board the boat to visit the lake on weekdays, and it is also lively.

This time, the county lord of Anhe used his own painting boat, and only invited three or four girls who were good friends on weekdays, all of whom were from extraordinary backgrounds, and when the carriage of the Ding Mansion arrived, there were already three luxurious carriages parked by the lake, and a few prepared subordinates came and went on the painting boat.

Shi Qingluo lifted the curtain and glanced at it a few times, but he didn't see the sign of Youwangfu, presumably An and the county lord hadn't come yet.

Shi Qingluo put his hand on his lap and waited heartily.

Ding Xiuxiu glanced at her a few times, hooked her lips and said, "Cousin, are you nervous? Don't be afraid, Lord Anhe is an easy-going person." ”

Shi Qingluo blinked, "The year before last, at the birthday banquet of the noble concubine in the palace, I was fortunate to enter Beijing with my father, and I also had a relationship with the county lord of Anhe, who returned to Beijing with the edict, and the county lord is indeed an easy-going person." ”

In Shi Qingluo's impression, Qi Jingqing, the lord of Anhe County, has a gentle temperament and a stunning appearance, when she returned to Beijing to congratulate the concubine at the birthday banquet, she just passed the concubine's birthday banquet, and it happened that Shi Qingluo's sister Shi Jiaolan was also in the year of the concubine, Shi Jiaolan did not like Qi Jingqing, and once made things difficult in public on the birthday of the concubine, Qi Jingqing slapped Shi Jiaolan's face with thousands of pounds, and she was an extremely smart woman.

Ding Xiuxiu didn't expect Shi Qingluo to see Qi Jingqing, and when she heard her say that Qi Jingqing was "easy-going", she sneered and didn't want to pay attention to Shi Qingluo anymore.

After a while, someone outside the carriage said loudly: "Yo, Miss Ding Er has arrived, why can't she shrink into the carriage and not get down? Could it be that she lost face in front of the eldest prince last time, and she didn't even have the courage to see the sisters?"

There were a few coquettish laughter outside the carriage, with a clear sense of ridicule, Shi Qingluo glanced at Ding Xiuxiu, saw that her face was like black charcoal, pushed open the carriage door and scolded: "Li Sigui, you long-tongued woman, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Ding Xiuxiu stepped on the back of the slave and jumped out of the carriage and walked up to the woman in the pink shirt with a look of disgust.

The woman in the pink shirt is Li Sigui, the second daughter of the governor of Youzhou, who has always been unhappy with Ding Xiuxiu, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, not to be outdone: "Am I talking nonsense, the sisters all know that you can't flatter Brother Wei, but he pushed him out of the yard and fell in front of the courtyard, that's called an embarrassment!"

There are still two people standing behind Li Sigui, Tsing Yi is Wei Zipei, the second daughter of Taishou, and the Taishou son that Li Sigui said is her eldest brother.

When Wei Zipei saw Ding Xiuxiu come out, the disgust in her eyes was revealed without concealment, and she pulled Li Sigui's sleeve

"Sisi, don't say it, what is there to say to this kind of woman who doesn't know how to be honest. ”

"That is, knowing about the marriage between Brother Wei and the county lord, and going to the pole to be a concubine, what kind of good thing can it be. ”
