Chapter Twenty-Eight: Swimming in the Lake
Back then, although Xiao Wanyan didn't have a good reputation when she was in Daliang, sometimes chasing cats and teasing dogs, and sometimes fighting with swords, she was not as unreasonable as Chu Huairan did.
Now she understands the thoughts of the people who were bullied at that time, it is really like seeing a fierce beast, and it is too late to hide, but now she just wants a small shop, and it is difficult to make money by herself.
As long as Chu Huai is there, she can't be fine.
Xiao Wanyan sat on the stone bench in the garden bitterly, holding her chin in her hand, distracted, the matter of Shangshu's imprisonment had not yet been resolved, and there was another murder on the street, which really made her miserable.
Just thinking about it, outside the courtyard, Qi Jiuyue swaggered in, today he wore a purple robe, and held a folding fan of landscape painting in his hand, which was quite like a handsome boy by the water.
He has always been polite to Xiao Wanyan here, when he saw the grapes on the stone table, he came up and took one, and sitting next to her in a bold posture directly ruined the image of a beautiful man in Xiao Wanyan's heart, Qi Jiuyue is the first man other than Chu Huairan who makes Xiao Wanyan not want to be included in the harem, if Chu Huairan is ruthless and spicy to describe it, then Qi Jiuyue is stupid.
Xiao Wanyan glanced at him and took away the grape/grape plate in his hand: "What are you doing again?" I must let Xiangye misunderstand that I am willing to give up when Hongxing is out of the wall? ”
Qi Jiuyue sighed twice, immediately came to her side, pretended to be intimate, opened the folding fan and fanned her: "Sister-in-law, the scenery outside the garden is always the best-looking, you can't just hang on my cousin's crooked neck tree." ”
It was obviously a tiger wolf's words, but the sad Qi Jiuyue said it seriously, but it was a little weird, she cautiously moved to the side: "Don't give me anything else, what are you doing here?" ”
She always felt that Qi Jiuyue had a plan, but she couldn't figure it out.
I saw Qi Jiuyue pacing to the other side of her, and whispered softly: "Sister-in-law, we agreed yesterday that we were going to swim in the lake today, why did you forget?" ”
Qi Jiuyue pretended to be aggrieved, he shook his head and sighed again, with a pair of bitter eyes: "Hey, it turns out that in my sister-in-law's heart, my words are just a gust of wind, and I forget it when it blows." ”
He made Xiao Wanyan a little uncomfortable like this, in fact, Xiao Wanyan just wanted to use Qi Jiuyue, but she didn't expect him to become more and more clingy, so that she didn't think of a way to make a move, she smiled sullenly: "How come, of course I remember, no, just waiting for you to come." ”
Qi Jiuyue also smiled, and Qi Xiaoran's voice came from a distance: "Brother Huang." ”
Qi Jiuyue took the fan's hand and paused.
Looking at the voice, he frowned: "You don't stay in the palace honestly, what are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Wanyan wanted to make room for the two of them, and said slowly: "Since you have something to say, I will go back to the house first, and the matter of swimming in the lake will be okay next time." ”
Qi Jiuyue couldn't see the look of joy and anger on her face, so she grabbed Xiao Wanyan's arm in time, looked at her and was silent, and suddenly said: "Xiaoran is always like this, she is reckless, I will let her take her back to the palace so as not to disturb you." ”
Xiao Wanyan said: "It's up to you where to go, it's nothing if I'm not upset, anyway, the place in the house is so big, I can't usually see it." ”
Qi Xiaoran was reluctant to hear it, she always felt that Xiao Wanyan had robbed her people, her things, and now even the imperial brother had to help, and a touch of impatience immediately appeared on her face: "Imperial brother, what are you talking about?" In a few days, I will be the rightful wife of my brother, why did I come to live here, and besides, the emperor's brother has agreed, you must not disobey her will. ”
"The emperor agreed?" Qi Jiuyue always felt that this matter was inappropriate, and he had persuaded the emperor not to let Qi Xiaoran marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now it seems that the emperor is going to use the chess pieces to the end.
The two of you have a sentence, I have a sentence, Xiao Wanyan, who was watching it, was a little embarrassed on the side, so she added in a whisper: "I see that the prince and the princess have important matters to discuss, or we will decide whether to swim in the lake later." ”
Qi Jiuyue refused: "The matter of swimming in the lake cannot be delayed, I have carefully prepared for you for a long time, since the imperial sister is also here, then we will go together." ”
Xiao Wanyan smiled awkwardly.
It is said that three women are in one play, but the two women are not easy to deal with, and I don't know what Qi Jiuyue thinks, he wants to take her and Qi Xiaoran together, not to mention swimming in the lake, and even the boat will not be able to live in peace.
Qi Jiuyue continued: "Sister-in-law, let's go, the carriage is already waiting outside the mansion, as for my cousin, I asked him to tell him in advance." ”
He did send someone to find Chu Huairan, but it was just to prevent him from coming back later.
Qi Jiuyue had to go to the lake, but Xiao Wanyan couldn't delay it, so she had to go with her.
On the way, he passed by the shop that Xiao Wanyan fell in love with yesterday, the old man hadn't left yet, but the things in the house were almost cleaned up, and Qi Jiuyue naturally knew what happened yesterday, he looked at Xiao Wanyan's gaze, and immediately walked to the old man with a plan and said, "Old man, are you planning to sell this shop?" ”
The old man glanced at Qi Jiuyue, ignored him and walked straight to Xiao Wanyan, a bronze box on the ground, and said slowly: "This lady, yesterday/You were in a hurry, and the old man didn't have time to say thank you, I was lucky to meet you today, and this thing will be regarded as a thank you gift." ”
Thank you? Xiao Wanyan didn't know why, she opened the box and saw that it was the deed of this shop, she frowned: "Old man, who are you?" ”
"The man who was with you yesterday gave me a lot of money and asked me to give this shop to you, but I have already received compensation and naturally can't accept it, even if this deed is a thank you gift, you can also bring back the money." The old man took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Xiao Wanyan.
This time, Xiao Wanyan was dumbfounded, there was a shop for five hundred taels of silver tickets, and she became a rich person in an instant.
Qi Xiaoran stood aside with a pale face, glancing at her dissatisfied.
Xiao Wanyan clutched the deed tightly, and thought about the man who was with her yesterday, could it be Qi Jiuchen, but didn't he want to kill himself? Why do you want to do it.
After thinking about it, she didn't understand it, so she didn't want to think about it, and she was naturally happy to have a shop.
And Qi Jiuyue lowered his face a little, thinking about getting closer to Xiao Wanyan, but he didn't expect to be preempted by others, he took Xiao Wanyan's arm and walked forward: "Sister-in-law, let's go quickly, it's too late to catch up." ”
Poor Qi Xiaoran was just a foil for this trip, looking at the two of them who were drifting apart, she stomped her feet in place angrily, and muttered: "Xiao Wanyan said that you are in the morning and evening, I will sue Brother Huairan and let her divorce you." ”
Today, the lake is very lively, and most of the people who come here are women, not just to swim in the lake, but when they heard about Qi Jiuyue's coming, they all broke their heads and wanted to see him a few more times.
Good guy, as the so-called shoulder to shoulder, foot on foot, there is not even the slightest gap, which can't help but make Xiao Wanyan think of the Leren Fang in Daliang, just like the top card in the Leren Fang, thinking that she also spent a lot of money just for the Pomeranian to smile, thinking about the past, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
It's just that before she could reminisce about her emotions, a few women next to her didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly squeezed him away from Qi Jiuyue's side, they were very crazy, and kept squeezing forward, and they couldn't stop shouting: "His Royal Highness King Qing, the slave family is ......"
In short, those ladies who can be called the name of the boudoir in the DPRK are estimated to have come, and they see these women in good manners on weekdays, but when it comes to robbing beautiful men, they are also quite domineering as women of their big beams.
Xiao Wanyan didn't want to get involved, she followed her on the boat, found a hidden corner, she looked at the lake leisurely, and inadvertently saw a familiar figure, dressed in white, wearing a veil, a graceful woman, only to see her flash and disappear into the crowd.
She only felt puzzled but didn't care much, just as she felt the cool breeze blowing on the lake, Qi Xiaoran's pretended weak voice sounded: "Sisters, I don't know, the young lady of Shangshu Mansion has rules on the surface, but in fact, she seduces/seduces my two imperial brothers, and the Xiangye only takes care of the feelings, so he doesn't pursue it." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and there was even an official lady who said disdainfully: "I have long known that this woman is not a good thing, and she pretends to be innocent on the surface, but in fact, she is not as good as the woman of Baihuafang." ”
"That's it, that's it, this kind of person is really a shame for us women."
"How could the prince fall in love with this kind of person, it must be that she is charming and seduces/seduces the prince, she is really shameless."
This princess, who is usually rude and willful, can be regarded as an opponent if she is intrigued, but Xiao Wanyan has no intention of entanglement/entanglement with them, so even if they say that she will not get involved.
Face and reputation are external to her, she can't eat or use them, and she will cause trouble for herself, so let them do it.
But Qi Xiaoran must make Xiao Wanyan deflated, she made a look, let the women look at her, I don't know who snorted, and then a cold face, a glass of water splashed towards Xiao Wanyan.
This made Xiao Wanyan, who was tasting wine, immediately annoyed, no matter what those women said, she could turn a deaf ear, but if she wanted to fight, she had never been afraid of anyone.
She slowly stood up and glanced at the crowd with cold eyes: "Whoever splashed the water, stand up for me." ”
For a while, Qi Xiaoran was stunned when Xiao Wanyan's anger was seen, but she still had to care about the princess's face, so she said: "Isn't it just to splash you with a glass of water, what are you yelling." ”
Isn't it just a glass of water? It's really a joke, it sounds like the troublemaker has become an innocent person, and the bullied person has become a wicked person, Xiao Wanyan hooked the corners of her lips, and made a gesture to take a glass of wine and splash it on Qi Xiaoran's face.
Suddenly, a pungency spread on her face, Qi Xiaoran hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, and pointed at her angrily: "Bold, you dare to splash me." ”
Xiao Wanyan learned from Qi Xiaoran's appearance just now: "It's just to splash you with a glass of wine, what are you roaring." ”
