Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Narrow Road Encounter
Qin Yunuan took off the hairpin as she spoke, and inserted her backhand into Qin Yun's hair bun, causing Qin Yun's makeup body to tremble as if it was stirred by cold water.
"Big sister, you're going to get married, and my sister doesn't have anything to give you, so let's give this hairpin to the big sister for the time being." Qin Yunuan smiled sideways, adding a bit of sincere joy to her peach-like face, as if she was really happy for Qin Yun's makeup.
After briefly explaining some other miscellaneous items, and when it was time to leave, Qin Yunuan helped Qin Yunxiang, who was a little paralyzed, to walk slowly along the garden path, even though Qin Yunxiang was very reluctant to let Qin Yunuan touch her, but at this time, she couldn't walk with her own strength.
Empress Chen stayed with Sima Rui for a long time, and when Sima Rui came out again, it was already dusk, and the blood-colored remnant sun smeared the sky with a layer of red brilliance, shining on the cyan tiles, with a faint layer of weird dark green.
"Did you find out?" Out of the palace gate, Sima Rui asked Liu Bao in a low voice.
Liu Bao replied in a low voice: "I still haven't found the little eunuch who led the way as His Highness said, and the servant estimates that he is not from the palace at all." ”
Sima Rui rubbed his nose, he had expected it a long time ago.
"Alright, let's go down."
Empress Chen's superficial kung fu is extremely well done, and on the palace road, there are already two soft sedan chairs waiting, all of them are people dressed as eunuchs, and the four of them are lifted, waiting for the two Qin family girls.
Before getting into the sedan chair, Qin Yunxiang looked back at Qin Yunuan with a painful expression: "Now are you satisfied?" Are you happy to see me like this? ”
"It's still early," Qin Yunuan's voice was cold, "I still have too many things that I haven't gotten back for my mother and Baochuan." ”
This sentence was cold, and with the ups and downs of the soft sedan car, Qin Yunxiang's heart also fluctuated, but the exhaustion had made her have no strength to think carefully.
The road is narrow, and before he arrived at the Suzaku Gate, Qin Yunuan saw a familiar shadow from a distance, dressed in pretty red clothes, with a bright and delicate golden phoenix-shaped step, covering a row of beaded curtains, and the shadows were so full that the people in the sedan chair were mysterious and unpredictable.
It was the county lord of Shuhua, and Qin Yunuan recognized it at a glance.
Thinking that the Queen Mother was bent on matching Leng Changxi and Lord Shuhua, Qin Yunuan's heart was filled with a faint bitterness, and her eyes became narrow and vigilant as she looked at the sedan chair that was slowly approaching from far and near.
According to the rules, Qin Yunxiang and Qin Yunnuan, who have no grade, should salute this fourth-grade county lord.
When the two teams of sedan chairs were still a few steps away, Qin Yunnuan and Qin Yunxiang got off the sedan chair one after another, and were about to bless the sedan chair of the Shuhua County Lord, but the Shuhua County Lord, who was lazily lying on the soft pillow, suddenly raised his voice and said: "That's it, there is no need to salute." ”
The palace is the world of the county lord of Shuhua, Qin Yunuan knows that the county lord of Shuhua is by no means so simple as wanting to exempt the two of them, although she does not know much about this high-ranking county lord, but in her previous life, she had heard how unreasonable this Shuhua county lord was, and she had also seen her ability in Xiuzhuang before.
Sure enough, the next moment the county lord of Shuhua spoke: "It's not that everyone is worthy of saluting the county lord, you, hmph, just leave it." ”
Qin Yunxiang was slightly stunned, and immediately said in a low voice: "The county lord Jin Zhi Yuye is indeed not something that a country contempt like us can climb. ”
The county lord of Shuhua was very satisfied with the flattery, and glanced at Qin Yunuan contemptuously through the tinkling bead curtain and said, "What about you?" I don't think it's even a country spicy. "Let's say, I laughed quietly again, the silver bell-like voice carried the taste of arrogance and fearlessness, this time Leng Changxi is not here, who can help this lowly concubine?
Qin Yunuan owed a debt, and said with a smile in a faint tone: "Yu Nuan indeed, I have never thought of myself as a country contempt," he said, and glanced at Qin Yun again, "But I have never felt that there is anything wrong with the country people, the gauze clothes worn by the county lord, the food eaten, and the wine drunk are all from the hands of those hard-working rural people, if Yu Nuan dislikes it, Qi will also offend the county lord, Yu Nuan can't do such a thing." ”
The county lord of Shuhua just said a word, but Qin Yunuan replied a few words eloquently, and every sentence was reasonable, the logic was smooth, and the words were vibrating and almost made people feel guilty, but she Shuhua was not so easy to convince herself.
"You are really unruly, I just said a word about you, can you talk back to me like this?" The county lord of Shuhua raised his eyes at a grandmother serving beside him and said, "Grandma Sun, you say, how should you punish the county lord for contradicting him?" ”
Grandma Sun is also a person who can read colors, and immediately bowed down and said, "It stands to reason that the palace staff should be fined eighty." ”
The county lord of Shuhua looked at Qin Yunuan proudly, and his eyes seemed to say, you are finished.
But Qin Yunuan knows very well that the county lord of Shuhua is just talking, a person like her, in addition to messing around, she will only mess around, if she really moves, just think about the hundreds of taels of silver she lost last time, and she doesn't dare to act arbitrarily.
Sure enough, the county lord of Shuhua shook his head and said: "I heard it, it's just that the county lord has a good heart, and I will spare you today, but you also have to make up for it." As the lord of Shuhua spoke, the arm that was as white as a lotus root climbed up to his bun, slowly took off the pure gold step, gently pinched the phoenix-shaped step shake and stretched out the bead curtain, and as soon as the hand was deliberately loosened, he heard the crisp sound of the golden step shaking on the ground, and scattered a few white pearls that were as thin as hair, and this step shook was afraid that it had been broken.
Qin Yunuan looked at the county lord of Shuhua coldly, to see what kind of trick she was going to play.
"You, come here." The county lord of Shuhua hooked his finger to Qin Yunuan, and then pointed down at the step that had fallen a little scattered, "Pick it up for the county lord." ”
Qin Yunuan suddenly raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, this Shuhua County Lord and Concubine Yun are all the way, one is relying on the favor of the Queen Mother, and the other is relying on the emperor's favor, and their character is still kept on the simplest side.
The county lord of Shuhua seemed to be stunned by Qin Yunuan's smile, and she raised her voice: "If you don't pick it up, the county lord will tell others that this step shake was broken by you, and this step shake is made of pure gold, and the pearls on it are all transported directly from Dong Qin, just this gold thread on it is enough for you to be afraid." ”
"What is Yu Nuan afraid of?" Qin Yunuan glanced around at the eunuchs and maids around her, and even saw a gloating expression on Qin Yun's face, "So many pairs of eyes are watching, how is this step broken The county lord can't frame me." ”
Like a fist with 120,000 points of strength hitting a ball of soft cotton, as soon as the eyes of the county lord of Shuhua opened, he suddenly opened the bead curtain with his hand and glared at Qin Yunuan fiercely.
Qin Yunuan smiled again: "In fact, the county lord does so many things just to embarrass Yu Nuan, in fact, why should the county lord be like this, the county lord is in the palace, Yu Nuan is the female dependent in the backyard of the Taiwei Mansion, the county lord has the favor of the queen mother, although he opens his mouth, Yu Nuan is just the daughter of the Qin family who has been living with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, Yu Nuan is really not worth the county lord's trouble." ”
These words somewhat made the county lord of Shuhua feel a little more comfortable, she pouted, and said angrily: "Since this is the case, you should know, keep me away from Leng Changxi." ”
Qin Yunuan was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that Lord Shuhua would ...... for this reason
"Hmph, although the county lord doesn't want to see him, since the queen mother has taken a fancy to the person who is going to be left to the county lord, she can't allow others to get involved." Lord Shuhua glared again, "Especially a concubine like you who tries to fly up the branches and become a phoenix." ”
"Yu Nuan is a good concubine," Qin Yunuan's tone was already a little cold, "But I never thought of flying on the branches, who General Leng is willing to marry and who he is willing to get close to is something that Yu Nuan can't control." ”
"Then you just don't want to?" Lord Shuhua was in a hurry.
Qin Yunuan turned sideways slightly: "What is Yunuan willing to do?" What if you don't want to? Does the county lord think that there can be someone in this world who can force Leng Changxi, the first general of Great Qi, to do anything? Yu Nuan advised the county lord, instead of spending his energy on advising Yu Nuan, it is better to accompany the queen mother, now the queen mother spoils the county lord, the county lord can naturally do whatever he wants, if the county lord's words and deeds really anger the queen mother, I am afraid that the county lord will receive more than just an account list. ”
The county lord of Shuhua was about to continue to make trouble, but Qin Yunuan took a few steps back and made a decent and standard palace salute towards the sedan chair of the county lord of Shuhua, raised his head and said: "This is the rule that has just fallen, the county lord, the palace gate is about to close, and Yu Nuan and his sister will leave as soon as possible." ”
After that, he went straight to the sedan chair, Qin Yunxiang saw this, and also saluted the county lord of Shuhua very respectfully, and wanted to take this opportunity to win over the county lord, so he spoke: "County lord, she doesn't understand ...... sister"
"Get out!" The county lord of Shuhua couldn't listen to any words anymore, she roared at Qin Yunxiang, "I don't need you to pretend, you can get out of me!" ”
Qin Yunxiang shrunk her neck, and when she turned around, she saw Qin Yunuan's extremely cold eyes, knowing that the careful tricks she had just thought of were known by this vicious woman, and her back was like leaning on ice cubes, it didn't matter, she was just a concubine after all, Qin Yunxiang comforted herself in her heart, and when she returned to the Qin family, as long as she waited back to the Qin family, she must come up with a way to completely destroy Qin Yunuan with her mother, it was best to marry her to a place where birds don't, let her marry a farmer, and live with her face to the loess and her back to the sky, A day when I think about three meals every day.
"I'm! I'm! After Qin Yunuan's sedan chair walked away, the county lord of Shuhua was still sulking, and said coquettishly to the nurse Sun Mama beside her: "Look at what kind of tone she has, what does it mean that I am all dependent on the queen mother, is my Shuhua so unbearable?" Could it be that my Shuhua can't live without the Queen Mother? Don't...... Not. ”
Mama Sun immediately covered the mouth of the county lord of Shuhua, and quietly warned: "Ancestor, you can't talk nonsense, everything we have now is given by the Queen Mother, be careful, the wall has ears." ”
