Chapter 189: The Instigator
Seeing Wei Yining hesitating, Lu Yinshu threw out another sentence: "The county lord hates people to retreat without telling him, are you sure you want to leave?" ”
She really wasn't talking nonsense, a hospitable and lively person, of course, didn't want any guests to leave early.
Wei Laner also walked over and whispered to Wei Yining: "Otherwise, you can bear with it and stay, in case-"
"Then I'd better endure it a little longer!" Wei Yining seems to have compromised.
Lu Yinshu was proud in her heart: Forgive you and don't dare to offend the county lord.
At this time, a maid from the county lord's mansion happened to pass by, Wei Yining quickly stretched out her foot and tripped over her, and the maid pounced directly on Lu Yinshu, and Lu Yinshu overwhelmed her maid again.
The Mochou Hall was full of curtains, and when a few people fell, they ripped off a piece, and the curtain fell, just covering them inside.
Wei Lanqi saw Wei Yining quickly pick up the brocade box that Lu Yinshu had dropped on the ground, then opened and closed it, as if he had put something inside.
But because Wei Yining's hand was moving too fast, she couldn't see it clearly at all.
What the hell is Yining doing? Wei Lanqi couldn't figure it out for a while.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Yining put the brocade box back in its place, with a calm face, and there was no trace of nervousness and panic at all.
Wei Laner helped Lu Yinshu and the others out of the curtain, Lu Yinshu was a little embarrassed, but she was quite stable and did not lose her temper.
The maid of the county lord's mansion didn't know why she fell, Wei Yining kicked out too quickly, and she didn't realize what was going on at all.
"Is my little aunt okay?" Wei Yining asked.
Lu Yinshu glanced at her and picked up her brocade box.
Wei Yining let her look at her, her expression remained unchanged, and Lu Yinshu couldn't see any clues.
However, Lu Yinshu is also a careful person, opened a crack in his brocade box, looked at the contents inside, and then closed it with confidence.
Wei Lanqi couldn't help but wonder, didn't Wei Yining put something in it? Why didn't Lu Yinshu notice it?
Wei Yining gave her a slightly calm look, and several people went back to their original positions to sit.
A maid came over and hung up the curtain again, but it was just a small episode, and no one paid attention to it.
However, after waiting for a while, the county lord began to summon the guests in turn, and Wei Yining and the others were behind Lu Yinshu.
Lord Duanmin sat cross-legged on a red sandalwood Zen chair, wearing a red robe, Wei Yining knew that this clothing had a name called Phoenix Fire, which was a high-quality material made inside.
With a purple gold phoenix crown on her head, she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is born with a cold and charming posture, and she is a rare beauty.
Some of the gifts presented by the people in front of them only glanced at the box, and some would ask someone to take them out and take a closer look.
Wei Yining found that the county lord would not look at all calligraphy and paintings, but he would take a few glances at the embroidery. If you agree, you will signal the maid to put it aside.
Those who are chosen, those who give gifts consciously have a light on their faces, and those who are not selected will inevitably have some criticism.
It can be seen that people's hearts are competitive, and they must fight for it in this regard.
It was Lu Yinshu's turn, she embroidered a pillow, and the phoenix wore the peony pattern, which took a month to complete, and she put her mind to it.
The maid took out the pillow from the box, who thought that there was still something wrapped in it, it was a handkerchief.
Lu Yinshu's heart jumped, how could there be a handkerchief in her box?
She subconsciously glanced back at Wei Yining, and the other party had an expression of distraction.
At this time, the maid had already opened the veil, and the face of the county lord of Duanmin suddenly became extremely ugly.
snatched the veil, threw it directly in Lu Yinshu's face, jumped up and scolded: "You dare to entertain me?!" You poop-eating maggots in the dung pit! ”
Although Wei Yining expected that the county lord might be angry, he didn't expect her to scold such words.
is so vulgar and filthy, I am afraid that even the subordinates in the mansions will not be able to scold.
can peek at the others, but no one showed a surprised look, which shows that except for himself, everyone knows the temperament of the county lord.
Lu Yinshu was so frightened that she hurriedly pleaded: "The county lord is angry, someone must have framed me!" I only prepared this pillow, no handkerchief. ”
"Framing you? Who? Lord Duanmin approached her face: "You find this person for me!" ”
Lu Yinshu turned around, pointed at Wei Yining and said, "It's her!" My brocade box had fallen to the floor before, and she must have taken the opportunity to put the handkerchief inside. ”
Everyone looked at Wei Yining, and the Duanmin County Lord's eyes swept over with coercion.
Wei Lanqi couldn't help but sweat for Wei Yining, she saw Wei Yining put something in Lu Yinshu's box with her own eyes, for fear of being discovered by the county lord.
When the county lord of Duanmin is not angry, he is indeed noble and dignified, but once he is angry, he will be like a different person, and if he says something unpleasant, he is exactly the same as a country shrew.
"Who are you?" Lord Duanmin asked Wei Yining: "Are you really framing her?" ”
Wei Yining's face was not frightened or angry, calm and peaceful like a sculpture: "I don't know what she said, I didn't frame anyone." ”
"That's you!" Lu Yinshu couldn't care about maintaining her usual dignity, and her originally low voice was raised very high, with hoarseness, which sounded very harsh: "It must be you!" You are annoyed that my mother-in-law wants to give me to your uncle, and you hate me for embarrassing you at the banquet. ”
Wei Yining smiled slowly: "But the family affair didn't work out at all, but you didn't take advantage of it at the table, on the other hand, you should hate me, right?" ”
Lord Duanmin's eyes shuttled back and forth between Lu Wei and the two, wanting to see who was doing the trick.
"County Lord, it's been less than half a year since I returned to the capital," Wei Yining said to Duanmin County Lord: "It's the first time I've met you, and I don't know your preferences or taboos, how can I still use you to frame others?" ”
Her words made Duanmin's anger dissipate a little, but her gaze at Lu Yinshu became sharper.
"You don't have garlic!" Lu Yinshu rushed over and snatched Wei Yining's box: "That handkerchief is obviously yours, it's obviously in your box, you take it out and stuff it into my box, your box must be empty!" ”
Wei Yining's brocade box was opened, and it was indeed a handkerchief, embroidered with a bush of jasmine, only green and white, but the embroidery was fine and lifelike, which was more chic than ordinary handkerchiefs.
Lu Yinshu was completely stunned, she had obviously asked someone to replace the handkerchief in Wei Yining's box and replaced it with the handkerchief that was enough to make the county lord of Duanmin angry.
It was carefully prepared by myself, and it took three days to embroider it.
But now that the veil is in her box, how can she explain it? How to prove that Wei Yining stuffed in?
"In fact, the most important thing is to see who this veil is from," Wei Yining's voice was shallow, like gurgling water: "After all, no matter where it is placed, the most important thing is to catch the initiator." ”
"That's right," Lord Duanmin nodded: "Let me find out who embroidered it, I have to pick her skin!" ”
Lu Yinshu was dumbfounded at that time, her original plan was that the county lord would be furious immediately after seeing the gift presented by Wei Yining, and would not give her a chance to argue at all, and the veil would be destroyed soon, so naturally she would not carefully check whether she embroidered it.
But now? As long as she compares the pillow, she knows that it is her own work, because she wants to keep this matter as confidential as possible, and she does not let anyone else handle it at all.
