Chapter 37: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
Fu Zhen didn't expect that the fifth brother would say such a thing, and he was furious.
Jingxian and Mingyang have always disliked to be involved in right and wrong, and although they were a little disgusted with the words of the five princes in their hearts at this time, they only looked at Duanmu Qing sympathetically, and they were not easy to help.
Regarding Zhao Yuxuan's actions, Zhao Yufeng knows the inside story best, he has always known how to make the most correct judgment in the shortest time, but he is just Duanmu Qing, and it is really not worth offending the five princes for her.
Although Ning Changqing and Chen Jiannan were the young masters of the meritorious family, they pretended not to hear it, and lowered their heads and talked to each other.
Han Ling poured himself a drink, occasionally his eyes slanted on Duanmu Qing, but with a hint of banter, and then he only cared about himself drinking, as if he had no interest in it, and seemed to want to see what Duanmu Qing would do.
Duanmu Cang and Duanmu He's faces were very ugly when they heard this, Zhao Yuxuan was humiliating Duanmu Qing nakedly-naked!
Although he didn't like his sister from the bottom of his heart, in Duanmu Cang's eyes, the people in his family couldn't be humiliated by outsiders, and they were about to have a seizure.
"The five princes should pay attention to it, this is ...... But it's born from the heart! The courtiers were a little curious about what the five princes would become in the future. ”
A soft voice sounded, but it was impossible to ignore the chill in his words.
Everyone turned their heads to see that a woman wearing a azure jacket and combing a three-girl bun was standing at the door, her thin body like a weak willow supporting the wind in the cold wind.
Between the eyebrows is a weakness that cannot be concealed, the eyebrows are frowning, the delicate panting is slight, and the eyes are watery, like the rainy season in March in the misty south of the Yangtze River.
Originally, when Zhao Yuxuan said that sentence, he was in the arms of An Ning, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were proud, who knew that such a person suddenly appeared, and he also returned this humiliation to Zhao Yuxuan, and his face suddenly turned black.
"Su'er, you're here!" The first to react was Fu Zhen, she hurriedly ran down her position and pulled Duanmusu's hand, "Are you feeling better today?" Do you still cough at night? The plum blossom cake I brought back last time, the mother said that it was well done! ”
In this way, even if this topic is diverted, firstly, it will no longer be entangled in what Zhao Yuxuan said about Duanmuqing, and secondly, it will make others have no way to care about Duanmusu's rudeness.
Originally, that sentence was blurted out by Duanmusu for a while, and it was inevitable that he would be a little afraid afterwards, but at this time, when Fu Zhen said a few words, his heart relaxed a lot, but his face was flushed.
"This is ......"
An Ning squinted her eyes, this young lady from the Yongding Marquis Mansion is very powerful, one or two let Fu Zhen treat her as a sister.
Duanmusu looked at Duanmuqing a little bewildered.
With a slight smile of encouragement, Duanmuqing stood up and introduced: "This is the daughter of my third uncle, Duanmusu.
After speaking, he pointed to An Ning and said, "Su'er, this is the county lord of An Ning of the Marquis of Jingyang." ”
Duanmusu immediately saluted, not giving An Ning a chance to speak, Duanmu Qing introduced everyone again.
After a round of introduction, it was far from the little episode just now.
"The Yongding Marquis Mansion really lives up to its reputation, and even the young lady in the mansion is also a clever match." An Ning did Zhang and covered her lips with a handkerchief.
Xiqi women regard tranquility as beauty, and they are too articulate and have always been regarded as women with long tongues and many words, which is said to be indecent.
An Ning's words were clearly ridiculing the fact that there was no tutor in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and Duanmusu's little face suddenly turned pale.
"According to Yichen, the two sisters are not as good as Princess Anning combined!"
The obviously angry male voice suddenly sounded, making everyone present slightly stunned, only to find that Duanmu Cang looked at the wine glass in his hand with a calm face, and the anger in his eyes was undisguised.
Fu Zhen almost laughed out loud, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to quarrel about this matter, so he hurriedly shouted: "Isn't it a barbecue today?" Why are they all here one by one? ”
Jingxian smiled: "If you still want to speak, I heard your mouth." ”
Mingyang hurriedly took the cup and handed it to Duanmuqing and Duanmusu, "This wine tastes good, faint, and the fragrance of pine needles, it is very distinctive!" ”
Finally got this stubble over.
It's just that Duanmusu has never participated in such a party, so she is a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, she has Fu Zhen and takes care of her everywhere, and she will not feel left out.
A room full of people are all children of high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are a few children of the royal family, and the Yongding Marquis Mansion bears a lot of burden.
Not to mention the bright or dark guards outside, even there are a lot of maids and women who come and go, adding charcoal for a while, sending water and snacks for a while.
"What is this doing, it's not easy to come out to play, so many people come and go, how can you have a good time!"
It was Han Lingxi, who had been drinking lazily all the time, who spoke, which surprised Duanmu Qing.
But when An Ning heard this, he immediately said: "Don't retreat quickly, tie your hands and feet." ”
Duanmu Qing's heart was alarmed, and when she looked at An Ning again, she saw her eyes staring at Han Lingxi with a bright look.
It was suddenly clear in his heart, no wonder there was no way to marry that person in his previous life, it turned out that Shi Dongli was the eldest prince, as a proton, how could the emperor marry his true niece.
I was laughing in my heart, but I suddenly found a sharp gaze falling on me.
Duanmu Qing suddenly looked over there, only to see Han Lingyan drinking wildly with a big wine glass, but the corner of his eyes was looking at her, as if he could see through what she was thinking.
In the pavilion on the rockery not far away, a purple-clothed girl with a veil in her eyes was full of resentment, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled together, "Duanmu Qing!" ”
Even if you can't see her face, the resentment can still be heard very clearly in her voice.
"Miss, let's go back quickly! You can't blow the wind outside like this when you have medicine on your face, otherwise, I'm afraid that the first day of the new year will not be better! ”
Suddenly there was a chill in her heart, and she hated to kick the maid next to her who reminded her of her shame, but when she thought of her face, she had to compromise, and glared at Guang Luxuan below her fiercely, and the corners of her lips under the veil hooked a small arc.
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? Fu Zhen's nervous voice pulled Duanmu Qing's thoughts back, and when she turned her face, she saw Duanmusu's miserable white face, and her frowning brows could see her patience.
"I ...... Wow......"
Before he finished his sentence, he spit it out.
Duanmuqing was startled, and hurriedly went up to help her, "What's the matter?" I'll help you back. ”
Fu Zhen was also in a hurry to follow, but Duanmu Qing declined.
An Ning pinched her nose and frowned, "Don't hurry up and help me go, let someone come and clean up." ”
Suddenly, a room full of people was in a hurry, Zhao Yuxuan pursed his lips in disgust, and walked out first.
When he returned to the Dancing Ink Pavilion, he instructed Silver Butterfly to take good care of it, and asked Lu Xi to prepare the ingredients according to his instructions, and boiled a pot of porridge and stewed slowly in the room.
"Miss, the second young master said that there is something urgent to tell you." A little maid hurriedly ran over and secretly stuffed something to Duanmu Qing.
This little maid was a little familiar, and Duanmu Qing recognized that she was serving wine in Guangluxuan.
Looking at the thing in my hand, it was a small paper bag.
Seeing her so mysterious, I also knew in my heart that it must be some secret thing, and I opened the paper bag with my back, only to find that it was a small bag of red and black powder, and I carefully picked a little bit and put it in front of my nose and smelled it, it was mulberry powder.
Duanmuqing turned his face to look at Duanmusu's room, originally this mulberry powder was a good product for bartending, but for a body like Su'er, it couldn't stand it at all.
"Take me there." Duanmu Qing had a cold face and said to the little maid who came here to call her.
"Whoa!" Seeing the eldest lady's expression, where did she dare to procrastinate, and the small broken steps led the way in front.
went all the way to Guangluxuan, but before she could get there, the little maid said: "Miss, the second young master asked you to go behind the rockery over there, saying that there are too many people here." ”
Duanmuqing turned his face to look at the little maid who brought him over, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that his body was numb for a while, he looked up in fear, but Duanmu Qing smiled brightly, "Okay, I know, you go first!" ”
Looking around, he beckoned a little maid to come over, whispered a few words in her ear, and waited for the little maid to go far, calculating that the time was about the same, and he went to his destination.
Before I got closer, I heard a loud "poof" and the sound of something falling into the water.
At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared inside the rockery to cover his nose, and then his waist tightened, and he was taken to a hole above the rockery.
Shaking his head, Duanmu Qing frowned and didn't look at him.
Only then did she let go of her mouth, and Han Lingxian pointed not far away, motioning her to look over there.
Because he was standing on a high place, the situation below could be seen clearly, Duanmu Qing followed Han Lingyan's line of sight, and saw that there was a person in the water who was struggling desperately, and on the other side, Mama Li, who was beside Li Ningshuang, was walking towards the water's edge excitedly.
Mama Li ran to the river and found that there was no one, obviously very surprised, not knowing what was going on with this strange empty lake shore in front of her.
But before he could say anything, he saw Steward Zhao trotting over in confusion, and was taken aback when he saw the people struggling in the water.
In such a cold winter, it is a cold lake, and the people struggling in the water have no strength at this time, and the fluttering movements are getting smaller and smaller. The bright red clothes on his body had become a blood-like color because of the water, and his black hair was also scattered on the water, which was shocking.
And just when Han Lingyan, who was next to Duanmu Qing, saw Steward Zhao rushing over there, the essence in the phoenix's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but turn his face to look at the girl next to him, only to see a cold light flashing in her apricot eyes, and a cold smile condensed on her lips.
Damn, I thought she would fall into a trap and save her, it turned out that she had already arranged it.
Xiaohan: The weekend has passed, and those who should go to work tomorrow have to go to work! Are you having fun, folks? I still envy the children's shoes who have a summer vacation
