Chapter 395: Agreeing to the Invitation
"Master, the little Lan girl beside the county lord invites you to go to their yard to enjoy the flowers."
When Xie Chengli heard this, he didn't even raise his head, his eyes were tightly on the book, and he said, "How to answer, do you still want me to call you?" ”
"But master, this is the third time that the county lord has come to call you, and you have been refusing people, isn't it too faceless to give people face? This is still in Prince Rong's house, we haven't fully agreed to the matter of borrowing grain, master, or you can go, it's a big deal that I will keep it secret for you, and I will never tell Your Majesty about this! ”
Xie Chengli raised his eyes and glanced at the wind shadow casually
Kazekage rubbed his head and said, "Okay, I'll go and refuse." ”
When the wind shadow came to the door, he saw the impatient Xiaolan who was already waiting, and he was also a little weak-hearted, but then he thought about it, anyway, he didn't take the blame himself, what was there to be weak-hearted? Kazekage straightened his back, walked over with an indifferent face, and said to Xiaolan: "I'm very sorry, my master is a little unwell and has already laid down, I thank the county lord for his kindness on behalf of my master." ”
Why can't Xiaolan hear that this is prevarication? As Yan Liu's personal maid, she can walk sideways in Yangzhou City, and she has already given Xie Chengli enough face to ask for three or four invitations, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so ignorant.
Xiaolan frowned, but she couldn't say anything cruel to the face of the wind shadow that had saved her, so she could only stomp her feet helplessly and turn away.
Looking at the back of Xiaolan leaving, Fengying was also relieved, and only hoped that this county lord could retreat despite the difficulties, she had to understand that the kaolin flower of her master was not something that anyone could pluck.
The next day, there was an unexpectedly sunny day.
These days in Yangzhou, Fengying, as a northerner, really can't stand the weather here, and today the sun is shining warmly on his body, which can be regarded as being able to remove the cold in his body.
Just as he was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, he saw Xiaolan walking towards this courtyard not far away, not to mention how desperate Kazekage was in his heart.
"Miss Xiaolan is here, do you have any orders today?"
Xiaolan still had a smiling face, but it was obviously more ugly than yesterday, "The county lord sees that the weather is good today, and wants to invite Mrs. Xie to go for a walk in the suburbs together, and trouble Lord Fengying to pass it on his behalf." ”
"Excuse me, Miss Lan, wait a minute."
Feng Ying actually wanted to tell Xiaolan right now to let her go back, anyway, even if he asked Xie Chengli, the answer he got would be the same.
Fengying entered the house, and sure enough, he saw Xie Chengli reading again, and said, "Master, the county lord invited you to go for a walk in the suburbs, but I still refused for you like yesterday." ”
"No, go tell the county lord, I'll go."
"Huh? What the? Master, what are you...... Could it be that you are going to betray Your Majesty? Yesterday I was talking about fun, if you really can't resist the temptation and do something to betray Your Majesty, I will kill your relatives in righteousness. ”
Xie Chengli resisted the urge to throw the wind shadow out, and then said, "You don't have to go with me today, stay here and reflect on why I did this." ”
Hearing that he couldn't go out with Xie Chengli, Fengying began to regret his impulsiveness just now, you know, since they came to Yangzhou, smelling the fragrance of food wafting in the air and the smell of rouge gouache all day long, it made him fascinated, and finally had a chance to go out to play, but he was punished and grounded, Fengying really felt a little stuffy, but he could only reply 'yes'.
The haze on Yan Liu's face, who received Xie Chengli's response, was swept away, "Taifu Xie really agreed?" ”
Xiaolan was also very excited, "Really, County Lord, Taifu Xie said that he would come to our courtyard to meet you in a while." ”
"What? Mrs. Xie is coming soon, but I haven't dressed up yet, the hairpin I wore today is too plain, and the hairpin on my head doesn't match, Xiaolan, you go and bring the red dress that my father rewarded, I want to wear that. ”
Xiaolan saw Yan Liu's hurried appearance, and she also covered her mouth and snickered, "County Lord, don't worry, you are so beautiful, you look good in anything." ”
Yan Liu has indeed never been worried about her appearance, but after all, Xie Chengli is the person she admires, and in front of the other party, she always has an indescribable inferiority.
Yan Liu wanted to dress up again, but she was worried that Xie Chengli would wait outside the door for too long, so she had to give up this idea, and when she went out, she was always worried that she was not beautiful enough.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Xie Chengli dressed in white, standing under the tree, so elegant and calm, which was exactly the appearance of the best man in the world in Yan Liu's heart.
"Let Mrs. Xie wait for a long time." Yan Liu said slightly apologetically.
Xie Chengli bowed slightly, "The county lord is too worried, I haven't waited too long, I am also a newcomer to this Yangzhou City, and I don't know where the scenery is beautiful, so I can only ask the county lord to lead the way." ”
"This is natural, Yangzhou City is my home, since Mrs. Xie is here, I should also do my best as a landlord and entertain Mrs. Xie on behalf of my father."
Yan Liu thought about it, and it seemed that only the scenery of West Lake could be worthy of Xie Chengli.
The two of them rode in the same carriage, in a narrow space, it seemed that even breathing could blend together, Yan Liu had been secretly looking at this Xie Chengli from time to time, and he didn't dare to look at it more, just glanced at it and lowered his head shyly, and Xiao Lan on the side shook his head.
And Xie Chengli has been closing his eyes and recuperating, and he doesn't care at all in the face of the other party's gaze, and over time, Yan Liu is also a little frustrated by the other party's indifferent attitude.
Xiaolan really couldn't stand it anymore, ignoring Yan Liu's obstruction, she said with anger in her tone: "Mrs. Xie, I don't know why Mrs. Xie has been refusing the invitation of my county lord a few days ago, but what is there to hide?" ”
When Xie Chengli heard this, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was no dodge in his eyes, and said generously: "The county lord also knows that I am a northerner, and I am really not used to the weather in the south. ”
After listening to Xie Chengli's explanation, Yan Liu smiled, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, naturally Taifu Xie's body is more important, it just so happens that the weather was not good a few days ago, today is a rare sunny day, Taifu's body is also healing, and it can be regarded as double happiness, right, Xiaolan?" ”
"What the county lord said is naturally right."
