Chapter 68: A thorn in the eye
As soon as Zhou Hanyan really left like this, Yang Qingyun and Tian Shuang were both relieved.
"Tsk, I didn't look down on her before, I just thought she was not good character, but I never thought she was so pestering." Saying that, Tian Shuang only felt comfortable, "But just now we cooperated quite well, and it feels very fresh." β
Yang Qingyun was also in a good mood at the moment, she echoed two sentences but didn't dare to relax too much. It's a good thing that they can do their best to have a slight upper hand in front of Zhou Hanyan, but there is still a lot of time to come, and Zhou Hanyan will not give up so easily.
There are only two people left in the pavilion, and they talk much more freely and wantonly, the two of them talk and laugh, and they talked about some precautions, and privately thought that if they continue to maintain like this, Zhou Hanyan estimated that there was nothing they could do about them.
Tian Shuang was very happy, and as soon as she was in a good mood, she took Yang Qingyun to take a walk in the hundred tea gardens.
Yang Qingyun is actually not in this mood, and is worried that Zhou Hanyan and them will make a fuss when they come back and bump into each other.
Tian Shuang glared, "Is it difficult to rest, can you really only sit and not move for a moment?" Nonsense! I'm going to take a walk to show her! β
Yang Qingyun let out a faint smile, "That's the same reason." β
The scenery of the hundred tea garden is unique, the various colors of camellia on the branches are charming, the fragrance is elegant, and it is very pleasant.
It didn't take long for Tian Shuang to cover her stomach.
ββ¦β¦ Maybe I just ate something bad, and I have to go to the toilet. She frowned, the maid beside her was very clever, and after a while she inquired about the approximate location.
When Tian Shuang left, she told her, "I really don't worry about you, don't run around, just wait for me here." I'm afraid that Zhou Hanyan will cheat, no matter who calls you, don't move the ground. β
Yang Qingyun smiled and said hello.
Tian Shuang covered her stomach and trotted away.
Yang Qingyun looked at the camellia on the side by herself.
"Girl, the slave maid noticed before, that mountain spring and waterfall are not far ahead, next to the railing, and it is said that the scenery is very special. Now that there is no one else here, you don't have to be so guarded, girl, you can take this opportunity to take a look. β
Tanmei said as she pointed forward.
Yang Qingyun thought about it, but felt that this idea was good.
Tian Shuang shouldn't be able to come back for a while, and Zhou Hanyan is not here, so there is really no need to be so nervous.
It's also idle to be idle, and it's okay to find something to do to pass the time.
Yang Qingyun took Tanmei and Chuhe over.
Soon, the mountain spring that fell from top to bottom appeared in front of me. Hatsuho was too excited to stand too close and splashed his face, and even his hair was a little wet.
Tanmei laughed at her on the side.
Yang Qingyun also pulled out a laugh mark, and looked up to appreciate this beautiful scenery again.
Unbeknownst to them, the movements of their master and servant were all in the eyes of others.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't expect this small hill to be quite chic, and there was also a game of Go on it. Xu Rulan was full of interest, and after going up the steps, she was attracted by the things on the stone table at a glance, and sat down next to Go in three or two steps.
In addition to her talent for poetry, she also has some research on chess, and when she saw a black and white child next to her, she held one in her hand.
When I looked back and saw Zhou Hanyan standing on the edge of the half-human-high railing and looking down, I felt bored, "What's so beautiful, aren't they all flowers and plants." Xu Rulan's interest in flowers and plants is not as great as that of Go, and she invited her while leaving the child, "I should be tired of watching, while it is clean now, we can play a good game of chess." β
Zhou Hanyan's deep gaze moved away from the three masters and servants below, and when he turned around, a subtle smile hung on his lips.
"You only have chess pieces in your heart, where do you remember what I called you here for?" She rubbed her forehead as she spoke, looking exhausted, "There are many people, and I always feel that what I do is becoming more and more thankless." β
Seeing this, Xu Rulan left the chessboard and went to Zhou Hanyan.
"I know you are wronged," Xu Rulan comforted her, "Yang Qingyun and Tian Shuang are really not all the way to us, no matter how much you say and do, no one will think of your goodness, on the contrary, they always feel that you want to harm them." At the beginning, I said to you, these two can't be friends, why should you force it? β
Zhou Hanyan sighed, "Qingyun used to be my good friend, I thought I would get better if I accompanied me more than I yelled." As for Tian Shuang...... She's all here, so naturally I can't snub her, right? β
Xu Rulan said: "That being said, Tian Shuang has always looked down on us in every way, and it is in vain for you to please us." You just have a clear conscience, you don't have to get her approval to become a ......"
Zhou Hanyan watched Xu Rulan speak, thinking about what the palace maid who served the prime minister's wife at the palace banquet that day said.
The prime minister's wife admired Xu Rulan very much.
Anyone who robs her is a thorn in her side.
What's more, she took the first place in today's poetry on a whim in the Hundred Tea Garden, stealing the limelight that should have belonged to her.
And Yang Qingyun is not far away.
β¦β¦ It's such an opportunity.
Xu Rulan leaned on the railing, still talking about the truth, not at all prepared for what would happen. Zhou Hanyan stared at her without blinking, and invisibly took two steps closer to her.
"Rulan, what do you see down there?" Zhou Hanyan covered one hand behind him, and pointed in a random direction with the other.
When Xu Rulan heard this, she immediately stood on tiptoe and looked down.
"Where? Why didn't I see anything......" She looked left and right, and unexpectedly saw a few figures beside the mountain spring, and immediately frowned, "You're talking about themβ"
Before she finished speaking, she was hit the back of her head, her eyes turned black, and she immediately fell into Zhou Hanyan's arms.
Zhou Hanyan was very calm, and didn't seem to have any feelings about himself knocking Xu Rulan unconscious, seeing that the master and servant were still in place, he hurriedly threw the bricks in his hand and began to lay out.
After a while, a cry for help sounded in the hundred tea garden.
"Help...... Someone! Who's going to help me! β
"Rulan, Rulan, you hold on!"
"Come on!"
Cries for help were accompanied by sobs and intermittent gasps.
Yang Qingyun thought that she had heard it wrong, and when she turned around and saw someone hanging on the railing of the small hill behind her, she was suddenly frightened.
She was close enough to see the situation clearly.
The person who fell under the railing was Xu Rulan, the noble daughter of the Xu family, and I don't know why her eyes were closed at the moment, as if she had lost consciousness; Zhou Hanyan pulled one of her hands with enough strength, her face was full of tears, probably too hard to bear Xu Rulan's weight, and her little face was already red.
She spotted her too, and cast her eyes ecstatic.
"Qingyun, help me quickly, I can't hold it anymore!"
