Chapter Twenty-Three: The Paper Tiger
A gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of the pot of orchids by the window suddenly filled the room.
"Master, will you let her leave like this?" Leng Jian asked with a cold face, "My subordinates have never seen such a bold girl." ”
"Chuang Qinglou also made trouble here for this king, such a special girl, don't say it's you, this king is also the first time to see it!" Yuwen Jinghuai bent his legs and leaned on the soft couch, his fingers tapped lightly on his knees, and there was some playfulness and laughter in his eyes, "When did Ninghou Mansion have such a bold girl?" Interesting! ”
"The Ninghou Mansion and the Qi State Mansion have a marriage contract." Leng Jian thought for a while and said.
"This king remembers, but there is such a thing!" Yuwen Jinghuai hooked his lips and smiled a little ill-willedly, "Qi Yuzhi seems to be fighting with the third lady of Ninghou Mansion...... When the last time the Chang'an Flower Club was held, the two of them were already eyebrows, speaking of which, compared to this unattractive second lady, the third lady can be regarded as a celestial figure, and this king is also a veteran of flowers, and he has seen countless women, so he still has to take a few more looks. ”
He praised other women so much, and the female companion next to him was naturally unhappy, and said sourly: "Master, is that third lady more beautiful than our two sisters?" ”
"That third lady is beautiful, she looks like a saint, but she is a wooden beauty who is not interesting, that is as charming as you!" Yuwen Jinghuai smiled slightly, "Leng Jian, figure out the causes and consequences of the conflict between the little prince of Fang Cai Ninghou Mansion and others in the Tibetan Incense Pavilion, this king is bored, but he might as well have fun." ”
"Yes."
The June heat made people drowsy, Chu Yue'an was napping in the carriage, Chu Qingbai asked curiously: "Second sister, do we have to go to the yamen to sue the person surnamed Xu?" How to get home? ”
"Don't be impatient, before we go to the Yamen, we still have to figure out one thing." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "Although I have always felt that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years is a, and if there is a vengeance, it is naturally refreshing to take revenge on the spot, but when the strength has not reached that level, the strong head is just being killed, and it is still necessary to carefully accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity." ”
She looked at her brother in front of her, and there was a hint of warmth in her cold eyes.
In her previous life, she had a twin brother, but the Xuanmen tradition has always left only one heir, and she was judged by the elders to be more qualified, so she was retained, and the child was missing. After inheriting the position of head of the family, she tried to find the abandoned child, but the news she received was that the child died of illness at the age of ten.
When he has the power to protect his loved ones, he is gone, which is indeed something that makes people wonder if the power they have is useful. Since her twin brother has died in this life, then this younger brother, she should keep it.
"Old Seven, you are different from me!" Chu Yue'an squinted his eyes slightly, and there was some heaviness in his tone, "I am living again, I don't know what the future will be, and now I naturally want to make myself happy, but you are still young, and there are still decades to go in the future, and every step you take must be steady." ”
Chu Qingbai looked at his sister who was a fellow mother, and there was some admiration in his eyes. The sluggish and clumsy second sister in the past was the person he hated the most, he once thought that the existence of this second sister was his shame, but the second sister in front of him seemed to be a different person, she was reliable and full of power, so that he unconsciously wanted to get close and want to rely on.
"That's right." Chu Yue'an asked, "That King of Chu, do you know anything about him?" ”
"I've heard something about him." Chu Qingbai said, "He is the nephew of the Holy Lord, the grandson of the Queen Mother, and the young people in the capital are the most noble to him except for those princes." However, his reputation is not very good, in short, he is lustful, his Chu Wangfu has countless beautiful wives and beautiful maids, and he also lingers in Fengyue places, it is said that his body is hollowed out by women! Not only that, he is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he can be said to be the number one gentleman in the capital. ”
"It turned out to be just a paper tiger." Chu Yue'an snorted lightly, "Don't care about him for now, it's important to solve the matter in front of you." ”
Zhao Si'er hid in Ninghou's Mansion because of the trouble, and didn't dare to go out to make trouble again, he used to hide behind Chu Qingbai, but he didn't cause less trouble, it can be said that half of the bad things about Chu Qingbai outside are his credit.
At this time, he was drinking a little wine, and a little guy came, saying that the Seventh Young Master was looking for him and asked him to go.
"Didn't he just get beaten yesterday? Why so many things! Zhao Si'er said unhappily, but after all, the other party is the master, and there is resentment in his mouth, but he still obediently passes.
"Seventh Young Master, why did you get up? Are you feeling better? As soon as Zhao Si'er saw Chu Qingbai, he greeted him and said with a smile, "I heard that there is an opera troupe in the capital, and the play "The Drunken Concubine" sang very well, and when the seventh young master's body recovered, the young master took the young master to the theater. ”
How did he know that as soon as he entered the house, the door was closed, and he saw clearly that there was a person sitting next to the young master, and that person was the second young lady who was submissive and crazy.
"Second sister, he is Zhao Si'er." Chu Qingbai said.
Chu Yue'an picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, glanced at Zhao Si'er, and sneered: "Seeing that you are not very old, there are a lot of ghost tricks, the seventh follows you, but there is no less trouble, you are also capable, and you can play the master around." He's a kid, but you shouldn't think we're all dead, right? ”
Zhao Si'er didn't take this second miss in his eyes, and replied with a sneer: "What did the second miss say?" A slave is a subordinate, so naturally it is how the master tells us to do things, and how dare we take care of the master's affairs. The slave has been following the young master for almost two years, and he can be said to be loyal to the young master, the young master said to the east, the slave does not dare to go west, how dare the slave play the master? It's a good thing that the second young lady feels sorry for the seventh young master, but she can't wronged the minion, right? ”
Chu Yuean put down the teacup and said indifferently: "I won't talk about the distant things, let's talk about the things in the Tibetan Incense Building, it can be said that the matter has developed to this point, you are a great contribution!" ”
"The slave knows that he is wrong, but the slave really does what the master tells him, and the master does what the slave says, this is the duty of the slave!" Zhao Si'er bent down and said, "Seventh Young Master, you also speak for the slave, the slave has never done anything that can't hurt you, can't you watch the second young lady wronged the slave like this!" ”
