Chapter 488: A chance encounter on the top of the mountain
The encirclement and suppression of the Xu family unfolded quietly on a snowy day three days later.
In winter, invite friends to step on the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms, and the tea appreciation around the stove is the most elegant and interesting, and it is also a first-class pleasure in this world.
Xu Yiai is the most critical figure, Ye Linchen naturally has no time to kill time with him or to get closer slowly. After discussing with Xia Fu, it was decided that Xia Fu would take the lead and set up a banquet in the name of getting a good painting, and invited Xu Yiai and his wife to come to the banquet in a manor on the West Mountain.
Because it was a private banquet, in addition to inviting Ye Linchen, Pei Huai and Gao Yuyan were also invited, and there was no one else after them.
When he saw Ye Linchen, Fang Yiai was quite surprised, he originally thought it was just an ordinary gathering of relatives and friends, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness King Jin to be there. In addition, there is not much contact with Ye Linchen on weekdays, Fang Yiai can't help but be a little nervous, and after carefully saluting, he took his wife's hand and stepped aside to wait.
Scanning the eyes of the two people who were extremely affectionate, Ye Linchen couldn't help but hook his lips when he could be so intimate with his wife.
"You don't have to be polite, just sit down." Ye Linchen, who withdrew his wandering thoughts, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Xia Fu, you organized this banquet. If you have anything to say, just say it. Ye Linchen took a sip of tea, "We don't have outsiders here." ”
Hearing this, Xia Fu cleared his throat, "That's nature." Brother Xu, Xia knows that you have always loved painting, how about you look at my painting?"
As soon as the words fell, a maid walked from the side to the middle with a picture scroll in her hand, and with his movements, a lifelike picture of a lady appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the painting, Xu Yiai frowned slightly, then stood up and walked over, admiring the picture of the lady in front of him.
"If I guessed correctly, this painting should be the picture of a hairpin lady painted by Zhou Zhonglang a while ago." There was excitement in Xu Yiai's eyes that was difficult to hide.
"It's that I'm lonely and unheard, but it's actually a painting of everyone Zhou." Xia Fu smiled and looked at Ye Linchen on the main seat, "After Your Highness has eaten, why don't we go to the back mountain for a walk?" The plum blossoms are in perfect bloom here. ”
With a smile on his lips, Ye Linchen looked at Xu Yiai, who had already returned to the knife position, with gentle eyes, "This king has this intention." I heard that the beloved son has superb painting skills, and I don't know if I can have the fate to see one or two. ”
Hearing this, Xu Yiai was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't figure out Ye Linchen's thoughts for a while. After being stunned for a while, Xu Yiai rolled up his sleeves and looked at Ye Linchen respectfully.
"Naturally. However, my wife has always been in poor health, and Weichen is not at ease, so she may have to take her. His Royal Highness is tired of preparing a soft sedan chair for me......" Xu Yiai looked at the lady on the side, and said softly.
Ye Linchen nodded, "Naturally." ”
After the group was ready, they set off to the plum garden not far away, and Xu Yiai carefully accompanied his wife to walk, whispering a few words from time to time.
"Brother Xu and his wife are very affectionate......" Xia Fu looked back and hooked his lips and said, "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”
"Hmm." Ye Linchen looked forward, and happened to see a soft sedan chair parked under the plum tree not far in front of him.
Just as he was wondering, a woman in a red cloak lifted the curtain and came out. With the support of the maid, she looked around, and just in time to see Ye Linchen, the corners of her lips hooked slightly.
"Hey, isn't that Miss Xie? How did she come. Xia Fu wondered.
Hearing this, Ye Linchen didn't speak, and looked at Xie Yaoguang who was standing not far away with his sleeves folded with a smile.
Xie Yao, who didn't know when he came over, folded his sleeves and bowed, "His Royal Highness King Jin." ”
"Miss Xie came at a good time. Why don't we climb the mountain together? Xia Fu touched his beard and said leisurely: "I heard His Royal Highness say that Miss Xie is also a person with superb painting skills, I don't know if I can meet one or two." ”
"Xia Shangshu praised."
Today's Xie Yaoguang is wrapped in a fire fox fur and wearing a white skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, even though his face is a little pale, he is still bright and moving by this lining. After meeting with a few people, Xie Yaoguang looked at Xu Yiai with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the soft sedan behind her, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
The group walked on the forest path, and Xie Yaoguang and Ye Linchen walked side by side. The two of them whispered a few words from time to time, causing Xia Fu, who was following them, to look at the scene in front of them and be amazed, unexpectedly that their Royal Highness the King of Jin actually knew how to please the girl's family.
Of course, after thinking about it, Xia Fu didn't dare to say it in front of them, so he could only look at the two of them and laugh. However, the two people in front of him didn't know what Xia Fu was thinking.
"Auntie, why don't you tell me in advance if you want to come." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a fallen plum on the tip of Xie Yaoguang's hair, Ye Linchen stretched out his hand to brush it away, and then said with a smile: "If I know you are coming, I will pick you up in advance." Cold or not? Do you want Suzaku to change your sleeve stove? ”
The words of concern fell in his ears, and Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows, "I didn't know that Your Highness would be here." If I had known, I wouldn't have come. However, I came to help His Highness, and the third brother was waiting in the garden below. Shall we ......?"
"There's no hurry. The plum scenery in the snow in this place is particularly beautiful, and it is not too late for us to look for your third brother after a while. Saying that, Ye Linchen held Xie Yaoguang's hand and led her all the way forward.
Xie Yaoguang, who felt that this move was quite strange, glanced at Ye Linchen suspiciously. Just as she wanted to break free, Ye Linchen held her hand tighter, and in desperation, Xie Yaoguang compromised.
Due to the snowfall, the plum blossoms and the branches of the trees have a thick layer of snow. All around are covered in silver, and the Qiongzhi jade tree is like a fairyland. It took a long time for everyone to reach the top of the mountain after stepping on the snow, and they all praised the spectacle when they stood on the top of the mountain and looked back at the large plum grove behind them.
After everyone entered the pavilion in turn, Xu Yiai carefully helped his wife out of the sedan chair. Seeing him come out, Xie Yaoguang and Ye Linchen glanced at each other and nodded, so that the other party was relieved. Originally, Ye Linchen planned to let Xie Yaoguang sit in the most sheltered place, but Xie Yaoguang insisted that this position should be given to Mrs. Xu, and Ye Linchen, who couldn't turn her around, could only agree. But this also fulfilled his wishes, and he saw him pull Xie Yaoguang to sit beside him. Until this time, he was still holding Xie Yaoguang's hand, as if he was afraid that Xie Yaoguang would run.
"Your Highness, why are you holding Miss Xie all the time?" Gao Yuyan pulled her lips and smiled: "Could it be that you are afraid that Miss Xie will run away?" Your Highness, you don't have to worry if there is really such a scene, Weichen will definitely be the first to help you stop someone. ”
When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang looked ashamed and leaned in the direction of Ye Linchen.
"Old Gao, don't say a word. Our Highness is worried about Miss Xie! After all, it's windy on the top of the mountain,......" Xia Fu said with a smile.
