Chapter 10: Haruka

At noon on the second day, after a full meal, Du Huanting sat in the garden to bask in the sun.

Two orioles flew on the table, a female and a male, who were watching me and me, Du Huanting's eyes lit up, and she wanted to catch them, she quietly walked to the table, and was about to pounce over, as if she heard the movement of people, and with a bang, the birds flew away.

"What's the spirit? I don't know how fast Xiu'en loves to die! Du Huanting angrily scolded Huang Li, who was nowhere to be seen.

She turned around, and Haruka stood coldly behind her, holding a few gorgeous clothes in her hands.

"Surprise me! Haruka, how elusive are you. She grumbled and sat back in her rocking chair.

"Miss, when has it been, and you're still here to be angry with the birds?"

Du Huanting got up and had an epiphany: "You're right, it's noon, it's time to go back to the room for a nap." She walked up the steps, yawned and continued, "Go --- Xiang'er, give me a warm bed." ”

Chunxiang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Du Huanting's hand and said, "What are you talking nonsense about?" It's the Great General! The general is going to come to the mansion as a guest from time to time, and the lord asked me to ask you if you are ready? ”

Haruka stomped her feet in hatred.

Du Huanting pushed away Chunxiang's hand and said upsetly, "You go back to the master and say, I'm sick, lying in the boudoir, and I'm not entertaining guests today." ”

"No! Miss, you can't get sick. Haruka said with a crying voice.

“..... Silly girl, what are you crying about, I'm not really sick, this is called a routine, understand? Du Huanting held Chunxiang's little hand and comforted softly.

"Haruka knows! But this young lady general can't be seen! ”

Du Huanting held her forehead and said: "This general is fragrant, my daughter can't make her own decisions?" ”

"If you change to someone else, you can't see it, Miss, but this general is coming at you today, if you don't see it, it will definitely hurt the harmony between Xiangguo and the general, and the Du family will suffer!"

Du Wan was dumbfounded when she heard this, and was stunned for a long time, "Chunxiang, I don't read much, don't scare me, is it so serious?" ”

"Miss, do you know that the lord and the general are at odds in the court."

"Discord? Then invite him to my house? Just drive it out! ”

Chunxiang hurriedly covered Du Huanting's mouth, "Miss, have you forgotten, the three generations of generals have been loyal to the emperor, and their status is not as good as Xiangguo, but they can hold half of the military power of the imperial court, these are still what you told me, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye!" ”

Du Huanting had a sense of foreboding, and she asked tentatively, "The master won't want to marry me to this general, right?" ”

Chunxiang shook her head, and Du Huanting took a long breath.

"The old man thinks about it, but people... The Great General... I didn't agree..."Haruka said the second half of the sentence hesitantly.

"Thank God, Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara, Amen!" Du Huanting bowed all the time, she said: "Don't cry and mourn your face, Chunxiang, are you looking forward to me getting married?" ”

"I'm sorry for Miss, and the general is clearly embarrassing you..... Our young lady is beautiful and fragrant, what is not worthy of him? ”

"Green vegetables and radishes have their own love." Du Huanting put her hands on Chunxiang's shoulders and said, "The twisted melon is not sweet." ”

Chunxiang pouted aggrievedly and said, "Miss, you want to open it, but the master doesn't give up, and he wants to please him!" ”

Du Huanting thought to herself: Can this arranged marriage be good, I am not Du Liniang, I will be slaughtered by others!

"Tiger poison doesn't eat children! Let's go, let's go and meet that general, I don't believe it, one doesn't marry, the other doesn't marry, what can my father do to me? ”

Chunxiang stopped Du Huanting and handed her the clothes, "Miss, wait a while, change the clothes first." ”

Du Huanting took the clothes handed over by Chunxiang, looked at the embarrassing color of the powder, and exclaimed: "I'll go, Chunxiang, are you sure I'm going to meet guests, not to pick up guests?" ”

"Miss, what do you say! Miss is like a peony flower, only this color is worthy of you,"

........

"I can imagine the young lady wearing it and dancing the frightening dance." Haruka said infatuatedly, looking into the distance with a look of adoration.

“.... What a dance... Dancing in the Sky? ”

Du Huanting thought to herself: This Du Liniang is simply making a fuss about nothing.

"Yes, when Miss was ten years old, she danced a thrilling dance at the birthday banquet of the Son of Heaven, compared all the princesses, and was praised as a national treasure by the saint."

.........

"Do you have to do this dance?"

"Miss, this is your trick! I watched your dance, and I saw how angry that general was. ”

Du Wan walked around anxiously, not knowing what to do, but suddenly she had an idea, clapped her hands and laughed: "I'm a genius!" ”

"Miss.... What's wrong with you? Haruka asked worriedly.

"Haruka, bring the wine!"

In the wine cellar, Chunxiang took two jars of fine bamboo leaves, and Xu Bu walked in the courtyard, thinking in his heart as he walked: "Miss doesn't know what the moth is, and she still has to drink and have fun at this time." ”

Walking through the winding corridor and passing by the rockery, I heard two maidservants chatting behind the rockery.

Maiden: "Oh, they're looking this way. ”

Maiden B: "Looks like you're looking at me." ”

Maiden: "What kind of dreams do they have in broad daylight, they are watching the mandarin ducks playing in the water." ”

Haruka looked curiously and saw two handsome sons standing on the other side of the bridge, one holding a folding fan and the other carrying a sword. I was admiring the mandarin ducks in the lake.

Rigidity and softness, a harmonious picture.

Maiden Jia: "The white-clothed scholar is weak in literature, but he is delicate and dusty." ”

Mai Yi: "I still prefer the heroic one, looking at the dress, it must be a family of military generals." ”

"Ahem..."Chunxiang coughed deliberately, and the two maids heard someone behind them, so they quickly stopped talking and looked back.

"Sister Chunxiang." The two maids called out awkwardly.

"What are you chewing on the root of your tongue here in broad daylight, why don't you go and wait for Miss to dress up and delay Miss Hospitality, can you afford it?"

"Yes, the slave knows her mistake." The two maids left in a hurry.

"It's all you, I don't know how important to speak..."

They blamed each other as they walked.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Chunxiang sneered and laughed, and then pouted and thought, "Even the subordinates are thinking about spring, why don't our young ladies open their minds." ”

Seeing that there was no one around, she flashed behind the rockery, covered her body, poked her head out, and quietly looked at the two teenagers on the opposite bank, thinking: "But it's really good-looking, if you look closely, if this face grows on a woman's face, it is on par with the young lady." ”

Thinking of this, Chunxiang's eyes flushed pink, and before the flush faded, she bit her lip and whispered to herself: "Chunxiang, what are you thinking?" Let's go, Miss is still waiting! ”

Chunxiang turned around and bumped into the maid armor head-on, "Oops, I'm scared to death!" ”

“.....”

"Why don't you go yet! Hiding here and eavesdropping on me? Haruka said angrily.

The maid hurriedly denied it, explaining, "Miss urged you to come over!" ”

"I'll go, you.... Don't come along, you just heard anything, you know? ”

The maid looked at Chunxiang in confusion.

Haruka turned around in three steps, "No.... Don't come along! ”
