Chapter 123: The Willows on the Green Embankment by the River (Thanks to the Book Friends Who Support "Yi Shinuo")
He had been talking for four or five miles.
In front of it, a silvery river floats between the mountains, undulating with the terrain, extending north-south until it is submerged between the layers of green.
This river is an artificial river in the four directions, which runs through the east and west directions, and the flowers and willows are planted all over the two banks, which is specially used for ornamentation. Pavilions are set up all over the river, and the promenade is walking, and it is a sight.
The highest place of the riverside terrain has built three layers of stone platforms, and built a octagonal pavilion with a height of about one zhang, two zhang of length and width respectively, the eaves are warped, and the floating wood is carved, and it is extremely ingenious. The flowers and trees outside the pavilion are verdant, scattered, and become a big landscape of their own.
This pavilion is the Yongcui Pavilion, because of its high terrain and wide vision, it is the best place to watch the scenery near the river. At this moment, although it is getting late, the flow of people inside and outside the pavilion is still unabated.
Several richly dressed ladies sat in the pavilion, eating snacks and tea, listening to conversations, they should be the ladies and ladies of the official eunuchs who came from health. The maids and servants came and went to serve fruit snacks, and it was lively.
Most of the boudoir women in high-ranking families do not practice martial arts, they are pampered on weekdays, and they do not have much vigilance, and many people are completely unaware of Mu Dianke's arrival.
Mu Dian can carry Tang Ning, avoid pedestrians on the side of the road by means of flowers and trees, and sneak into a dense shade of flowers under the Yongcui Pavilion. After placing Downing, he poked his head out of the shade of the flowers and made a secret mark on a conspicuous tree. The cat went back and observed the surrounding terrain through the cracks in the branches.
After a while, Mei Longxue came with a large cluster of purple-leaved shrubs.
Mu Dianke took Tang Ning and Mei Longxue to a blind spot by the Fulian River, found a rod-shaped stone on the river bank to make a pestle, cut off the stems and leaves of the shrubs picked by Mei Longxue, and put them in a washed golden scoop and mashed them.
Mei Longxue hurriedly took over and said, "Mother, let me come, I have a lot of strength." ”
Tang Ning laughed out loud.
Mei Longxue glanced at her dissatisfiedly: "What are you laughing at?" ”
Tang Ning smiled: "I'm laughing...... Your mother, you can really bend and stretch. ”
Mu Dianke was numb to Mei Longxue's state of being in the role at any time, and asked Mei Longxue to hurry up and pound the flower mud, take off one of the earrings on Tang Ning's left ear, and throw it into the grass by the river.
The turquoise tassel pendant streaked through the air, rolled like willow leaves, and fell silently into the ankle-length grass, without a trace.
Mu Dianke looked at the grass by the river, and suddenly his heart moved, and he turned back to Tang Ning and asked, "You are dressed like this, but who are you imitating?" ”
When I first saw Tang Ning, she was dressed in cotton and linen, and she didn't apply fat powder, so she was obviously a person who didn't like to dress up. There is no reason to dress up carefully before the assassination.
Tang Ning has just made a beauty incense, and he may be using it just right. Beauty incense, Zhu Yan smiled, when it comes to using drugs, who will be more handy than this genius eldest lady from the Tang Sect.
Tang Ningxu was much more surprised, he was slightly stunned when he heard this, and soon returned to his usual complexion, and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss is really a little insightful. I have worked hard in the past two years, but I have never been able to get close to Rong Yi. I asked him about some of his preferences. I heard that Rong Yi is so green, willow trees are planted all over the house, and even the flowers cultivated in the garden are the green color of Yishui: green chrysanthemum, green lotus, green peony, all kinds of green flowers. The seasons are always in full bloom. But the women in the house are not allowed to wear green, what do you say this is for? ”
Mu Dian remembered the lush grass he saw in the Biyu Pavilion, and suddenly understood a little.
Tang Ning said: "I followed this clue to inquire, and I learned that before Rong Yi became a concubine, there was a good woman named Liu Qingwu. The riverside is green, and the new willows are on the embankment," Tang Ning sneered: "I didn't expect that our Rong Xiangye, who doesn't care about the lives of others, is actually a rare infatuated person." ”
Xu is suffering the same thing, Mu Dian Ke secretly felt a little sympathy for the Miss Liu who had never met before, and said: "Since I have given up, I am separated from each other." What are you going to do with this useless infatuation? It's fake. ”
Tang Ning glanced at Mu Dianke: "Are you complaining about yourself?" You claimed to be Jin Liu's own sister, but you were also given up by him? ”
Mu Dianke knew that he was excited, and suddenly regretted saving Tang Ning, and said, "You are too lenient." ”
Tang Ning sensed that Mu Dian was really displeased, so he stopped talking and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Mei Longxue practiced internal kung fu, and the strength in her hands was amazing, and she pounded the stems and leaves of flowers and trees into a paste in three or two clicks, and gave Tang Ning a look at Mu Dianke's request.
In the distance, the voices of dogs barked, and the noise was abnormal, but it was the group of guards who found the right direction and chased after them.
Mu Dian Ke instructed Mei Longxue to carry Tang Ning to hide in another shade behind the pavilion. He stayed behind, quickly cleaned up the broken branches and leaves on the river bank, and heard the sound of footsteps approaching, so he shook his hand and threw the two embroidered shoes that had been taken off Tangning's feet into the river.
Shu brocade shoes embroidered with green peonies float and sink on the surface of the river, go down the river, and soon go far.
Mu Dianke flashed and hid in the shade of the flowers where Mei Longxue was hiding. As soon as he squatted down, he saw a large group of people pulling hounds to the bottom of the Yongcui Pavilion. Following the scent, I found the shade of the flowers where a few people had been hiding before, and then went to the riverbank.
When the ladies and ladies who were drinking tea and enjoying the scenery in the pavilion saw this battle, they all got up and looked, and someone had already sent the servant women around them to come down the steps to inquire.
Several chamberlains and hounds searched the riverside for a while, dug out Tangning's earrings from the grass, and began to search back and forth along the riverbank around Yongcui Pavilion. After barking wildly at the river, the three sturdy hounds finally found their way and ran wildly in the direction where the embroidered shoes had drifted away.
Tang Ning watched a large group of people follow the hounds in the direction of the lower reaches of the river, turned around and smiled: "No wonder people in the rivers and lakes say that the fourth lady is a calculating ghost and a person who is close to a demon." ”
Mei Longxue said angrily: "My mother saved you, and you still scolded her for being a demon." Why are you so annoying? ”
Mu Dianke said lightly: "People in the rivers and lakes also say that I have a cruel temperament, so I can drink with human flesh, Miss Tang had better be careful." ”
A few people took advantage of the surrounding flowers and trees to turn back to Liuxian Residence by the same way.
Five or six young men came in groups from the direction of the woods. One of them was dressed in purple clothes, and it was the young man who accosted Mu Dianke in the "Echo Spring of the Empty Valley", but was ridiculed. A group of people walked over with laughter and laughter, and the young people were lively and jumpy, making gestures from time to time, and the laughter was loud, so lively.
Mu Dianke bypassed a group of people and walked into the forest for a while, but he was not halfway through when he heard footsteps at the end of the woods.
The footsteps were deep and steady. The pace is not very fast, but the pace is very precise, and the interval between steps is perfect. It's not like the skills of Jianghu people, but people who have maintained strict training for a long time.
The soldiers who appeared in the Quartet were naturally Rong Yi's people.
