Chapter 136: Plum Garden
Xue Yan said with a smile, "The charcoal fire in the house is hot, it's a little stuffy, I also want to go out for a walk, besides, with this warm jade, it's much better than before." ”
This Qishan jade has been worn for a long time, and it is indeed somewhat useful for Xue Yan's physique, but in just a few days, it has not come to this point, Xue Yan said this just to comfort Xue Ling, but Xu Lanfeng heard it.
Xu Lanfeng glanced at it, and then saw the half piece of jade exposed at the placket of Xue Yan's clothes, and was a little surprised, so he said with a smile, "This piece of jade is warm and moist, glowing with a moist light, and it looks like a piece from Cousin Sheng from a distance." ”
Xue Ling secretly screamed badly, and several girls looked at it with puzzled looks.
Second Miss Wu failed today's performance, but after listening to a song played by Xue Ling, the depression has not dissipated until now.
After careful calculation, among the girls, only Jiang Tingxue and Xu Lanfeng were the least affected, and the rest of them were more or less affected by mood swings.
Thinking about it, Jiang Tingxue and Xu Lanfeng have grown up being held since they were young, and they don't have many worries.
Second Miss Wu was sour at this time, "I don't know when the two sisters of the Xue family climbed His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, no wonder." ”
Xu Lanfeng was not angry, but he still said thoughtfully, "Cousin Sheng's piece of Qishan jade must have lost to Mr. Zeng in chess, I was just a little surprised that this piece of jade was in the hands of the fourth girl of the Xue family." Xu Lanfeng looked like an unintentional look, but with an inquiry, "Mr. Zeng has always been humble and detached from his cousin, and he never deals with girls on weekdays, but I didn't expect to give you such a valuable thing." ”
Second Miss Wu remembered Zeng Yi, "Is that the handsome and extraordinary Mr. Zeng?" She looked at Xue Ling sourly, "Third Sister Xue is really amazing." ”
Jiang Tingxue listened to it on the side, and then said, "Mr. Zeng and my brother are old friends, and this time they stayed at my house for a day,"
Jiang Tingxue defended Xue Ling very much, "Our Jiang family is all distressed Yan'er, my brother saw that Mr. Zeng had a rare warm jade in his hand, so he cheekily asked Mr. Zeng to come over and give it to the fourth sister, what is there to wonder." When you think about these things all day long, you think that everyone is the same as you, don't insinuate, Ah Ling is still in the filial piety period, how can you criticize it. ”
Xue Ling glanced at Jiang Tingxue with a smile.
This kind of thing is very generous, but what I am most afraid of is being deliberately answered.
She can also explain, but if this explanation comes out of Jiang Tingxue's mouth, it is obviously more credible.
Xu Lanfeng had already smiled and said, "It turns out that there are such twists and turns,"
She was born into a nobleman, even if this kind of small object is valuable, she didn't take it to heart, she pulled Xue Ling and said, "Ah Ling, you don't know, Mr. Zeng and Cousin Sheng fought against each other all night, and in the end, Mr. Zeng won three pieces." ”
The girls next to them didn't say a word, they just listened to it.
My cousin asked Mr. Zeng what he wanted to make a victory. Mr. Zeng didn't say anything, and then I left, I guessed that it must be that time my cousin lost this Qishan jade. ”
The girl next to Xu Lanfeng said, "But this piece of Qishan jade, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has promised it to our young lady, and later His Royal Highness the eldest grandson told the young lady that the jade was gone, and our young lady didn't take it to heart, but I didn't expect it to be taken by Mr. Zeng." ”
Xue Ling said, "What does Miss Xu want in return, no matter what, this is also your love." ”
When Xue Yan heard this, she reached out to take the jade on her neck and said, "It turns out that this is Miss Xu's thing, then I will give it back to you."
She didn't want to embarrass her sister and was about to pick it.
Xu Lanfeng had already held it down, and she said with a smile, "My cousin has already given me another birthday gift, which Mr. Zeng won with his ability, not to mention that it is already a sister's thing, and this thing is also fateful, since it is in the hands of my sister." It's this fate with you. If you want to repay the favor, you can pay it back to anyone, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
She explained carefully to Xue Ling, "I haven't said it yet, my cousin told me that the piece of jade was gone, so he discussed it with me,"
I couldn't help but laugh as I spoke.
Xue Ling listened quietly on the side without interrupting.
The girl took over, "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, personally took our young lady to pick a birthday gift, speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Zeng." ”
Xu Lanfeng pursed his lips and smiled, "To be honest, I still like light-colored and delicate objects, although this ink-colored jade is a treasure, if it is really given to me, it is just thrown aside, and now it is good, make the best use of it." ”
Regardless of whether Xu Lanfeng is sincere or fake, it is about his sister, Xue Ling still sincerely thanks, "Miss Xu is broad-minded, which makes me ashamed." ”
However, she noticed that between Xu Lanfeng's words, when she mentioned the emperor's eldest grandson, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all the shyness of her daughter's family, and then she realized one thing she didn't know before, Xu Lanfeng, it should be the emperor's eldest grandson Nangong Sheng.
turned out to marry Nangong Chen by mistake.
Xu Lanfeng is at the age of carefree, and he is tired of Nangong Chen, which can be regarded as sad and lamentable.
Xue Ling pondered that if Xu Lanfeng married Nangong Chen again, he didn't know if what happened before would happen again.
A few people talked, and then walked to the plum garden.
Xue Lian stepped forward, "I heard that this is the precious red plum that Cousin Chen found for his aunt." ”
She introduced the varieties one by one like a number of treasures.
Xu Lanfeng said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Third Sister Xue is also a person who loves Mei. ”
Xue Lian hurriedly said modestly, "I just occasionally heard my aunt mention it, so I wrote it down." ”
Because Xue Lian deliberately agreed, she wanted to talk happily with Xu Lanfeng.
Jiang Tingxue deliberately got rid of it, so he pulled Xue Ling and Xue Yan to a place with fewer people.
Xue Ling said, "I see there's a pavilion over there, let's go sit down." ”
This is an octagonal pavilion, built on the top slope, about thirty or forty steps, I think it was built for the purpose of viewing plums.
Walking all the way, Mei Xiang bursts.
When she climbed to the top of the slope, Xue Yan was already out of breath.
A girl stepped forward and said, "Girls, sit down on the road while I'll prepare refreshments." ”
Xue Ling looked over, this woman was only seventeen or eighteen years old, "What do you call my sister?" ”
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, "The girl is polite, just call me Xiaoya." ”
"Sister Xiaoya is in charge of the plum garden? I wonder if I can pick a plum blossom? ”
Ah Zhu was a little surprised, but quickly said, "The girl went to pick the plum blossoms inside, it looks better." ”
Xue Ling smiled softly, this girl did not refuse, but adopted a compromise method, it seems that she is not a stupid.
"In that case, Sister Xiaoya will accompany me, and you will pick that one plant if you say it."
Ah Zhu didn't shirk either, "Okay." ”
Xue Ling turned around and said, "Listen to Xue, you are tired of walking, sit with Yan'er, and I'll take a look." ”
