Chapter 97: Trivial
"Good." Wei Zhao touched Xie Yanhe's heart, and said uneasily: "Did I tell you about it?" When you encounter something that can't be solved, go to Kong Siquan. ”
Xie Yanhe nodded obediently and watched Wei Zhao turn over and get on his horse.
The man's movements are chic and neat, with a sense of beauty like flowing water. The corners of Xie Yanhe's lips curled unconsciously.
On the way back alone, Xie Yanhe felt that it was much farther than before.
The mandarin duck followed Xie Yanhe's side and said respectfully: "County Lord, Princess Ying and Hejing County Lord have urgent matters in the mansion, so I will go back first." Princess Chengjun was old and had a problem with choosing a seat, so she also left first. The mother and daughter of the Cui family were escorted back to the Cui Mansion by His Majesty's guards. The wife of General Jin Wuwei, Lord Shen, took the two young ladies of the Shen family away half an hour ago, saying that she was going to settle accounts with the Cui family. These guests are all sent by Princess Fuqing. ”
"Mrs. Shen took Yuhua and Yuxiu away?" Xie Yanhe smiled lightly, and a hint of melancholy appeared on his picturesque eyebrows: "Mrs. Shen took care of me a lot when she was in the northwest, I should go and ask her for peace." But she walked so quickly, I think she avoided me. ”
"County Lord, don't you have to give the gift you prepared for the Shen Mansion?"
Mandarin Duck thought of the long list of gifts he had just sorted out, as well as some valuables on the gift list, which was not only painful, but also worthless to his own county lord.
"After all, people have been wronged in my house." Xie Yanhe hooked his lips, and a pair of bright peach blossom eyes flashed with a faint sneer: "You don't have to feel distressed about things outside your body." ”
"County master, the slave doesn't feel sorry for this thing. It's for you to be unjust. Today's matter is that Princess Yichang borrowed your place to move, and Princess Yichang found a helper herself, but she also asked you to apologize! The mandarin duck had a thin anger on his face, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became: "At that time, on the boat, Cui Zisu fell into the water for no reason, and the slave guessed that none of these people were clean." ”
"You've guessed it." Xie Yan and Dai Mei bent their eyebrows, and said in a mocking tone, "Our Mandarin Duck sister is as wise as a torch. ”
"All of these people are involved?" The mandarin duck stomped his feet hatefully, and said angrily: "What kind of people are these!" That Sun Youyun looked innocent and delicate, how innocent the slave maid thought! ”
The mandarin duck chattered and said: "And that Du Minyi, the beautiful model praised by the old ladies, the vain slave maid thinks how virtuous and chaste she is!" It turns out that he is also a person who is different from the outside. ”
Liu Rongjia is even more ridiculous. Looking at the dust-free, high and sparse under the eyes, it turns out that it is also a raccoon dog. ”
The mandarin duck angrily commented on everyone, but he still felt angry, and said angrily: "County Lord, these people watched the dirty water splash on you but didn't say a word, Princess Yichang should give you an explanation." ”
"What do you want to explain?" Xie Yanhe raised his hand to brush away the hibiscus branches that poked out from the flower garden to the corridor, and his eyebrows were faint: "It was Princess Fuqing who I agreed to first, and it was also I who acquiesced to Princess Yichang's arrangement." ”
"Princess Yichang chose to do it at your banquet, but she is not sensible. How can a guest add to the host's blockage? Let Princess Fuqing intercede, it's not because you owe Princess Fuqing a favor. ”
The mandarin duck looked at his master's light and breezy expression, secretly clenched his fists, and his voice unconsciously raised: "You are just too good." ”
"Can't you just see me wronged?" Xie Yanhe's eyes drooped slightly, and her long, thick eyelashes covered her sparkling eyes. This sentence is as light as a whisper.
The mandarin duck was stunned for a moment, and said calmly: "No matter when and where, the slave will always stand in front of you. ”
The mandarin duck's tone was not half impassioned, as if it was just a statement. Xie Yanhe heard the determination and strength in it.
She retracted her thoughts and sighed with a smile, "I know that you will always be loyal to me. It's not that serious. ”
"County master, slaves and maids are afraid...... In the future, anyone will climb on your head. A trace of misery appeared on the mandarin duck's face, and her eyes almost wanted to cry: "Are there still few people who have fallen into the well?" When you first arrived in Jiangnan, the slave will never forget. You can't sleep all night, you can't eat, and you're so thin that you're only a handful of bones. It's been three years, and your body hasn't been raised. The slave felt heartache when she thought about it. ”
"Am I not okay right now?" Xie Yanhe's eyes moved slightly, but the smile on the corner of her lips did not change at all, and she said softly: "It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow." I don't know where my future is, and I can't complain that others don't help me speak. ”
Looking at the maid who was still angry, Xie Yan and Wanyan persuaded each other: "People have the ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they respect me and stay away because they are afraid of getting into trouble." ”
"County Lord, one day, they will regret it!" In front of Xie Yanhe, Mandarin Duck has always been the image of a caring, capable, shrewd, and clever caring person, and this is the first time that Mandarin Duck is so uncalm.
The practices of these ladies are really chilling. The county lord doesn't care, that is the county lord's tolerance and generosity, and she, a maid, doesn't have the good cultivation of the county lord.
These people waited for themselves. The mandarin duck's nails pinched into her palm: she won't let go of any of these people.
"It doesn't matter to me if they don't regret it." Xie Yan and Yanran smiled, their peach blossom eyes shining like stars. She said in a man-like voice: "Instead of worrying about these irrelevant people, it is better to ask my sister Mandarin Duck to make me more lotus cakes to eat." ”
The mandarin duck couldn't hold it, a bright smile appeared on her face when her anger dissipated, and she said softly: "County master, don't make fun of the slave maid." The craftsmanship of the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid themselves can barely eat, where dare to harm you. ”
Xie Yan and Meimu bent, and their sweet and soft voices were smiling: "The almond tea you make can still be drunk." ”
It's an almond tea that can be made by a girl! The mandarin duck silently swallowed the ridicule from her own county lord, and she said in a broken voice: "After the slave returned home, she practiced her cooking skills hard. ”
"Stop!" Xie Yanhe hurriedly made a gesture and said with a smile: "I still remember that Qiao Niangzi came to me to complain, saying that you were going to smash her kitchen." ”
"County Lord ......" the mandarin duck stomped his foot. Talking and laughing, the haze in her heart was swept away. The mandarin duck found himself comforted by his master again. In addition to guilt, it is full of gratitude.
Mrs. and the county lord are the best people she has ever met in the mandarin duck's life, as if the hardships of her childhood are just to let her cultivate such a fate.
"The lake should be lively at this time." Xie Yanhe looked up at the darkened sky.
"The men are all gone, right?"
"It's long gone. After Chu Juma sent the guests away, he went back to the house alone. The mandarin duck said. In addition, the slave maid asked people to count the utensils on the banquet, and only more than a hundred taels of silver were lost. ”
Xie Yanhe bowed her head, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said with longing: "I don't know when my brother will come back?" If my brother comes back, for such a thing as a banquet, my brother and sister-in-law will come to Zhang Luo. ”
"When the Hou Ye drives the Hui people back, the county lord, you can reunite as a family." At the mention of Xie Han, the mandarin duck's eyebrows were flying, and her face was full of pride, and she said happily: "When the time comes, Master Hou can support you." ”
Does this girl think she's so easy to bully? Xie Yanhe held back the smile on the corner of his mouth.
At that time, in front of Wei Zhao, Xie Yanhe did not give Princess Yichang eye medicine, but he did it without leaving a trace. After all, Wei Zhao was reluctant to blame her, so he had to blame his daughter.
Xie Yanhe suppressed the sweetness in her heart, her beautiful face pouted with a light smile, and she instructed the mandarin duck sideways: "Let's go listen to Yuxuan first." ”
Listening to Yuxuan was on the other side of the Spring Pet Garden, which was passing by, and it was exactly the opposite direction to the place where the guests were feasted during the day.
However, with a stick of incense, the sky that was still bright just now completely darkened.
The sheep's horn palace lamp on the cloister exudes a soft light, but the glazed palace lamp hanging on the branches is brilliant, and the countless lotus lamps floating by the lake reflect each other, reflecting the world in front of you into a glorious world, crystal gorgeous, like a dream.
"County Lord, look, how beautiful!" The mandarin duck looked at the beautiful scene in front of him and sighed sincerely.
Xie Yanhe chuckled and quipped: "I remember, you were very distressed about this large sum of silver at that time!" ”
Mandarin duck apricot eyes widened, pretending to be helpless and said: "The flowers are all spent, and the slave and maid can only be happy in bitterness." ”
It's no wonder that the mandarin ducks feel distressed, the housekeeper spent five hundred taels of silver just to purchase these lanterns. For example, those lotus lanterns by the lake, after being soaked in the lake water, can no longer be used after using it once.
Among the ladies in the entire capital, probably only Xie Yanhe would spend so much money.
Between the words of the master and servant, Xie Yanhe had already arrived to listen to Yuxuan.
Listen to the rain Xuan built on the shore, is a pavilion corridor open on all sides, a clear water in front of the Xuan, the lake is planted with plantains, green bamboo, the lotus leaf pavilion in the lake is like a cover, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the raindrops fall on the leaves, listen to the sound of ticking, there is no interest. Tingyuxuan is named after this.
As far as the eye can see, a long corridor connected to Tingyuxuan spans the water, and you can walk directly to the opposite side of the lake along the corridor.
At this time, listening to the rain Xuan erected screens on all sides, blocking the cool breeze blowing on the lake, only a few glass-inlaid windows are ajar, the night breeze is frivolous, the silk and bamboo are charming, the lights under the corridor and on the water are splendid and brilliant, and the scene in front of you is beautiful and illusory. Being here, it always feels like a dream.
Xie Yanhe listened to the laughter coming from behind the screen, pursed his lips and smiled, and calmly walked into Tingyu Xuan.
"Yonghe is here!" Princess Fuqing held a wine jug, leaned leisurely on the chaise longue, and when she saw Xie Yanhe, she beckoned in confusion.
"Yonghe, you are here, you are much more beautiful at night than during the day. Those who left early, it's a pity. ”
As soon as Princess Fuqing's words fell, a sound exploded in the sky.
Everyone was shocked.
After the maid removed the screen, the lady present hurriedly ran to the top of the corridor and leaned over to look.
I saw gorgeous fireworks explode on the night sky, and the colorful colors reflected the red faces of every lady.
Those ladies who usually don't smile toothlessly, in this sudden surprise, all smiled, that is after seeing the beautiful things at first glance, the spontaneous joy, undisguised, pure.
"You did it on purpose?" Princess Fuqing walked up to Xie Yanhe's side and asked in a whisper close to her ear.
"Deliberately what?" Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
Princess Fuqing's beautiful face showed a wicked smile: "I have been out with my father for so long, and I am afraid of being questioned, so I use fireworks to divert my attention." Why are you so smart! ”
"I've been preparing the fireworks for a long time." Xie Yanhe learned from Princess Fuqing to bite her ears secretly, "Such a beautiful scene, you want to be crooked, it's really a bad scenery." ”
Princess Fuqing smiled but said nothing. She just told the truth, and if you spoil the scenery, you will spoil the scenery!
Seeing this, Xie Yanhe redirected his gaze to the blooming fireworks.
Under the blurry night sky, colorful fireworks lit up Xie Yanhe's face, imprinted in her beautiful eyes, which were even more beautiful than the sky at the moment.
The corners of Xie Yanhe's lips pursed a smile: If you don't see through it, Fuqing is too annoying.
