Chapter 114: Matchmaking
Coming back from the lake, Wen Xian'an lay at home for a few days, not going out of the door all day long, like a rice worm.
Another day, light rain, last night's light wind and autumn rain, ten in the evening, dark clouds lined up towards the sky, the sunset receded early, and the rest was silent.
The bird of no return pointed its throat, tactfully desolate, fluttering its wings, wandering in the sky, as if it had fallen behind, and was chasing the lost team, gradually into the night, the sky was darker, the moon and the stars were nowhere to be found, it was very cold, only a light rain, playing unknown songs.
The raindrops of the bean size fall into the pond, the ripples at the beginning of the point, the fish shake their tails, revealing the water, the fish gills close and open, the mouth spits bubbles, makes a gurgling sound, the lotus flowers in the pond bloom and fail, I can't remember how many times it opened, I only remember that the flowers are bright, fresh and refined, the fragrance is pleasant, especially refreshing, the light steps are light, the windows are erected with wooden folds, and the cold wind escapes into the house, blowing away the tiredness and dullness of the house.
There was a lamp in the room, the yellow light was a little dazzling, and the cover was taken and put on the candlelight, which instantly darkened a lot, and the humid climate was easy to attract snakes and insects, and the room flew a lot of moths, Wen Xian lay on the soft couch, supported his forehead on his right, held a scroll in his left hand, half-curled up, a moth stopped on the scroll, frowned, was a little annoyed, and called softly to the half-covered door,
"Lightness,"
After calling a few times and not responding, it was dark outside the house, and when I was wondering, a head poked in from outside the door and answered, and a woman in a yellow goose dress walked in,
"Miss, what do you call me?"
Fan away the moth, pointed to a black bottle on the corner of the table not far away, and said, "Put those powdered wine around the corner of the room to avoid the invasion of snakes and insects." β
Qingling took the black jar, the smell inside was a little choking, coughed twice, and endured the smell and sprinkled the yellow-brown powder in the jar on the corner of the famous place.
Until the second half of the night, the sound of the rain became smaller, Wen Xian'an lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time, with her eyes open, without any sleep, listening to the sound of the rain, and remembering the words of the white peony leaning in her ear, the tone and look seemed to be vivid.
"Although I am a person of Hongchen, but my heart is clean, I am happy with him, but I don't know what he thinks, I am also a woman, I think Miss Wen also has feelings, if there is a chance, I also bother the girl to inquire about Peony."
Thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing out loud, such a graceful and upright woman would actually like a Wu Rendi who is five big and three thick all day long, but although Wu Rendi is her master, she doesn't know anything about blocking skills.
Thinking about it this way, it's still a bit troublesome to pull the red rope.
Night.
"Three poles at night, watch out for candles."
Knock knock knock......
As soon as the sound of a gong sounded, penetrating from the streets and alleys, the husband held a lantern in his right hand and a gong and drum glowing with copper light, and the silent alley was only the sound of the whirring wind and the long figure being pulled underground.
The breeze was light, and unknown wind chimes jingled.
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines through the window, mottled shadows, reflected on the wall, the person on the bed moved, turned over, and fell asleep again, when he woke up again, the sun was already in the middle of the sky, Wen Xian'an stretched his waist, his hair was casually draped behind him, frowned, a little tired, and gently pushed open the door and walked in,
"Miss, you're awake."
nodded, lifted the curtain and got out of bed, the sunlight outside the house was dazzling, and he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and it was sunny for a long time.
The eaves are covered with large drops of raindrops, dripping down the cracks, or hanging between two rubbles, and the newly sown medicinal seeds are moistened by the rain and break through the soil, and flocks of butterflies swim in the newly blooming yellow stamens, which are all new scenery.
After a hasty breakfast, he went out of the house to relax his heart, and went out of the prime minister's mansion, and on the way, he met Wen Zheng, who had just finished the morning court, and looked in a hurry.
However, Wen Cheng didn't say anything, just asked her to go out of the house to pay attention to safety, and wanted to arrange two attendants to travel to protect her, but she was too troublesome, so she refused directly, only to see her father's hurried appearance, it seemed that there was something important, and she didn't say much, and left in a hurry with the housekeeper, and before she had time to salute, she disappeared.
Wen Xian'an lowered her eyes, puzzled.
But soon, she put these behind, out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and not long after walking, she met Xu Nianchun who had just traveled at the corner of the street, and only received a maid by her side, with a spring breeze on her face, and she was also surprised to see Wen Xian'an, and happily stepped forward to grab her hand, and exclaimed: "Xian'an, it's really a coincidence, I actually met you here." β
Wen Xian'an smiled faintly, watched her walk hurriedly, and asked curiously, "Where are you going to go?" β
Xu Nianchun blinked, looked mysterious, looked around, pulled Wen Xian'an, gently put it in her ear, and whispered: "It's not to listen to opera yet, if you are interested, you might as well go together, I heard that this is a rare performance." β
"Why do you look like a thief when you listen to opera? Didn't you do something bad to cover it up? Wen Xian'an clasped her hands and asked with interest.
Xu Nianchun frowned, twisted Wen Xian'an's arm, sneered, and said, "You also know my father's temperament, if he knows that I ran out to watch the play, I'm afraid I will have to be closed again." β
"Yo~ It turned out to be sneaking out." With a snort, Wen Xian'an covered her mouth and was happy, Xu Nianchun looked left and right, and muttered.
"Don't make a noise."
Wen Xian'an nodded very cooperatively, and was finally dragged to the stage, saying that he wanted to do a full set of plays, and he looked helpless, but he couldn't resist Xu Nianchun, so he had to agree.
said that she was listening to opera, but in fact, only Xu Nianchun was interested, only she was left sitting on the chair and dozing off, half-asleep and half-awake, she saw Xu Nianchun next door watching with relish, on the stage, a man and a woman were entangled in grievances, deducing love and hatred, she really didn't understand, why the young lady in the boudoir was only interested in this kind of love and hate.
What's more, she saw through too much love and hatred in her previous life, and these are just a passing glance for her.
The people on the stage were singing, and they heard the word "chance encounter" in a trance, although it was a very bad clichΓ© plot, but it suddenly gave her a lot of inspiration, since Bai Peony was happy with Wu Rendi, she might as well push the boat down the river, do a marriage deal, and match the two together.
It's just that Wu Rendi is not only interested in gambling, but he doesn't know his intentions, so he has to knock on the side.
