Chapter 17: A Momentary Show of Weakness
The episode that happened in the depths of the jungle was only a few people from beginning to end. After Bai Panpan vented the breath blocked in his heart, he walked back slowly.
Under the attic, Yu'er and Die'er looked around a little nervously, until they saw Bai Panpan's wandering figure, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they hurriedly walked over here.
Butterfly opened her mouth, but she didn't have time to speak. Yu'er had already opened her mouth first: "Miss, where have you been?" But let's have a good meal, where is the panic in the sun outside, where is it comfortable in the attic? Let's go back quickly. β
The Wen family is delicate and proper, not only taking care of these ladies and ladies, but even the maids have prepared some food and tea. Compared to the heat outside, the attic is a different world.
When Die'er heard this, she somewhat agreed. "Miss's skin is good, but it's not good looking if she gets sunburned."
It's just that a girl's tone is full of dissatisfaction, and a girl's tone is full of concern.
"Just take a look." Bai Panpan's eyes were slightly constricted. Go up the stairs.
In the dense forest, "Let's go, Jianan, we should go back." I've been wandering around outside for a while, and if I don't go back, it's time for gossip. Lin Lanqiu persuaded softly, although she was pampered by her father and brother since she was a child, she was not a fool, although those ladies would not say anything to their faces, they might not chew their tongues behind their backs.
The county lord of Jianan is the county lord of the pro-feudal county, and the rank is almost the same as the daughter of the prince and the vassal king. As long as she is willing, it is naturally easy to do family affairs, but Lin Lanqiu has not yet come out of the cabinet, if there is any gossip, first of all, she and Bai Yu will bear the brunt.
The county lord of Jianan had just scolded the little maid angrily, and the anger in his heart had dissipated for five or six points, and he was coaxed by Lin Lanqiu and Bai Yan, and now his mind was naturally clear.
"Let's go!" The county lord's face has resumed his entry, only a pair of slightly upturned and somewhat domineering eyes, the whites of the eyes are slightly red, and he looks a little angry.
If she changes someone else today, she will definitely not back down, but Bai Panpan does have a special identity, as the fiancΓ©e of the only prince with the highest rank in Da Chu, she has such a strong mother's backing, even the emperor has to take care of one or two, her head is not so iron, dare to compete with her face to face.
For now, this is just a temporary show of weakness. She still has a chance to break back.
The county lord of Jianan wiped the beads of sweat and tidied up his appearance before going back to the attic with Lin Lanqiu and the others.
After confirming that the person was gone, between the flowers and leaves, a wisp of elegant and clear figure landed calmly, the silver mask shone with a cold luster, although the face could not be seen clearly, but from the delicate jaw exposed, the posture of heaven and man could also be glimpsed.
The man glanced in the direction the girls had left, his eyes dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He curled his fingers slightly, brought them to his lips, and whistled of various lengths.
Standing in place, for a long time, his subordinates did not respond, the masked man pursed his thin lips, and went along the stone road to the direction of the wall of the Wen family's garden.
As soon as Bai Panpan returned to the attic, Ren E came over, looked her sister-in-law up and down, and found that she was in good shape, and she didn't look uncomfortable. I was a little relieved. smiled and said, "You also play with those little girls~"
Bai Panpan waved his hand and refused. She has a mental heart, where can she talk to those teenage girls.
Before the county lord of Jianan reached the attic, he saw a group of men on the first floor coming out of the attic. The teenagers were smiling in fresh clothes, and their faces were full of youthful spirit.
The county lord of Jianan and the others hurriedly paused. The maids took the initiative to take two steps forward, separating the distance between the two groups.
The young man at the head of the sword eyebrows starry-eyed, with a smile in the corner of his eyes. Even the scarlet tear mole was a little softer than usual. The person who came was Lin Qinghan. Dingyuan Bofu abandoned martial arts, Lin Qinghan's schoolwork was quite outstanding, and the masters liked and liked it. As a man of the year in Qingchuan Academy, he naturally has a certain status among the sons and daughters of the nobles.
He and the teenagers behind him said hello to the county lord of Jianan, "Lord Jianan County~" and then took the initiative to stagger a road to give way.
The county lord of Jianan stretched out his hand and stroked his sideburns, and the big eastern pearl on the hairpin was round and full, and the color was soft. Between raising her hand, the exposed wrist is also white and slender, and she has always been more dazzling among girls.
The county lord of Jianan smiled at the corner of his lips, and there was a hint of curiosity in his expression, "Where are you going?" Are there any activities? β
"The flower-viewing banquet naturally has to have poetry, wine and competition, so that it can be regarded as a live together." Xie Lanfeng holds a folding fan in his hand, and the folding fan is painted with ink landscape paintings, and there are four big characters of "Merry and Graceful" on it. The folding fans are one by one, and the four words on it are also trembling. It looks very angry. "When a group of our young people who are both civil and military come together, we naturally have to have a good competition, and we can only have fun when we are different."
Another round-faced young man is Wen Shangshu's sister-in-law, Wen Qing's brother Wen Ruyuan. As the host, he also hugged his fists and saluted the lord of Jianan County. "It's the county lord. I'm sorry ~ If the county lord of Jianan is interested, he can also go to the female family, there should be activities too! β
The county lord of Jianan nodded, said hello to everyone, and then went to the second floor on the way out from the side.
The ladies looked as usual, and still greeted them cordially, pretending not to see the disagreement between her and the future Princess of Annan, Bai Panpan.
In the attic on the second floor, Wen Qing was also talking to the ladies and ladies present about the activities of the flower viewing banquet.
It's just that the women who have become relatives have long passed the age of having fun, and they come out to participate in these banquets, but they are just contacting each other, gossiping and other personal contacts. Only those girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet will be interested in such activities.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the venue over there." Wen Qing was full of interest.
Bai Panpan took a bite of refreshment, and saw Wen Qing walking towards her, "Sister Bai rarely participates in such activities, but today she wants to follow me to open her eyes." I took out the lottery for these activities, and my sister is a capable one, and she must show us her hands well in a while. β
Bai Panpan frowned slightly. "Good to say~"
Ren E next to her gave Bai Panpan a few looks, "Go ahead, it's fun." also take this opportunity to find two intimate sisters. β
The sister-in-law's personality has been a lot more restrained recently, and there is no impatience and anger between her eyebrows and eyes at the moment. Ren E observed the words, kicked her nose and gently pushed her, with a look of eagerness.
Bai Panpan...... In the end, under Wen Qing's half-pull and half-drag, he went to the event venue.
Qingluo followed behind Ren E, feeling that her master had really pushed Miss Five...... My own lady is also a little floating.
This venue is a big one. There is a thin gauze in the middle, symbolically separating men and women, and the writers prepared activities such as pot throwing, archery, painting, poetry, etc.
The pomegranate flowers of the Wen family are relatively famous in the capital. The Wen family has held a flower-viewing banquet for many years, and it can be regarded as quite experienced.
