077 Meet (2nd Shift)
When Duanmufei returned to Zhanqing Courtyard, it was noon, Duanmujun was sitting by the window reading the account book, the two windows were open, and the rich shadow of the tree shone on her face, so quiet that it was like a lady's painting. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
As soon as he saw Duanmu Fei coming back, Duanmu Jun put down the account book in his hand and showed a bright smile, "Zhen Zhen, you're back!" ”
After Duanmu Fei responded, he sat down next to Duanmu Jun, and after drinking half a cup of tea, he said: "Sister, Cousin You was injured a little in Jiangcheng, but my sister can rest assured, Cousin You has already used the Li family's injury medicine, and there is no major problem." ”
Hearing that Li Tingyou was injured, Duanmu Jun couldn't help frowning, and said thoughtfully: "So that's the case. Zhen Zhen, my mother told me before, the children of the Li family from their grandfather to the four-year-old children are all roosters, regardless of the wind, rain, frost and snow, the scorching heat and cold, they must practice together, day and night, day and night, from the beginning of every day, they will follow Mr. to study the astronomical calendar, geography and martial arts...... Decades like a day. Cousin Yu is a child of the Li family, and his grandfather and uncles asked him to participate in this course, so he must not be far behind, and he should not be at the bottom of the answer. ”
Duanmu Jun took a sip of hot tea and calmed down.
She thought that since Li Tingyou was able to go on the pilgrimage to see the emperor and successfully passed the answer, presumably the injury should not be too serious, her expression gradually eased, and she turned her head to Duanmu Fei and said: "Zhen Zhen, Cousin You shouldn't want people to know about his injury, so I think it's good that the two of us know about this matter." ”
If this is to let other candidates know about Li Tingyou's injury, it may give someone with a heart an opportunity to take advantage of it and specifically target Li Tingyou's weaknesses in the martial arts test.
"That's what my sister said." Duanmu nodded obediently in agreement.
As the sisters spoke, their voices were soon drowned out by the rustling of the wind in the courtyard and the sound of cicadas chirping one after another......
In July, the cicadas in the capital are constantly chirping, and the air is so hot that it seems that a little spark will cause an explosion.
July 13 is the day of the undergraduate martial arts examination.
After getting out of the boudoir school, Duanmujun and Duanmufei sisters were waiting for news in the mansion, but they didn't expect that the results of the martial arts examination had not yet come, so they heard someone come to say that the eldest princess's carriage had just entered the mansion.
Naturally, this news not only spread to Zhanqing Courtyard, but also from Yongxi Hall to other rooms, and there was a commotion all of a sudden.
No matter what the princess came to the mansion, the person who came was a guest, and it was naturally impossible for Shangshu Mansion to be indifferent, and soon, all the ladies gathered in Yongxi Hall, and then hugged the He family to meet each other at the Yimen.
A new black lacquer flat-topped carved carriage had already stopped outside the Yimen, and everyone stepped forward and curtsied: "See Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess." ”
In the next moment, I saw a fair-skinned bare hand open the curtain, revealing Wuyang's bright little face.
She said "no courtesy" with a faint expression, her eyes swept over everyone, and stopped at Duanmu Fei's body, "This palace is here to invite the fourth girl of Duanmu to go out to play today, and I don't want to alarm Mrs. Duanmu." ”
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Duanmu Fei, with different thoughts.
Who of the dignitaries in the palace and outside the palace didn't know that the queen and Duanmu Guifei were not on good terms, but the eldest princess suddenly came to Duanmu Mansion for some reason, and also named Duanmu Fei to go out to play, what is the purpose?
He's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness is polite." As she spoke, her loving eyes looked at Duanmu Fei, "Sister Scarlet, what do you mean?" ”
Duanmu Fei smiled slightly, and happily responded to the blessing.
Soon, the carriage carrying Duanmu Fei and Wuyang slowly left under everyone's strange eyes, and only Duanmu Jun was worried in his heart, and at the same time there was a feeling that my family had a girl who had just grown up, and my sister should have her own friends when she grew up.
As soon as the carriage drove out of the main gate of Duanmu Mansion, it became faster and faster, speeding along the wide, empty street.
There were four masters and servants sitting in the car, and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels from outside made the carriage more and more quiet.
Wuyang looked at Duanmu Fei, who was sitting opposite her, her expression was a little subtle, and she suddenly asked, "Fourth Duanmu girl, why did you come out with this palace?" ”
Duanmu hooked his lips and smiled, and asked strangely, "Sister Princess, didn't you ask me to come out?" She blinked wide, puzzled.
Wuyang was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and a haze flashed in his eyes.
Chu Qingci and Wuyang have been handkerchiefs for many years, and Duanmu Fei knew that she was in a bad mood when she saw the subtle changes in Wuyang's expression, presumably something happened in the palace.
Duanmu Fei leaned his little face towards her and asked, "Sister Princess, you left the palace because someone made you angry?" ”
Wuyang's eyes darkened slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly: "So what?" ”
In the afternoon, she had a little trouble with the queen, and left the palace in a moment of irritation, but it was not the queen who made her angry, but some people who didn't even know shame.
Yesterday evening, she strolled to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, and after walking for a while, she took a tea break in the Tinglan Water Pavilion. When she was about to leave, she saw Yang Huifei's sister Yang Wu girl walking towards the Qingzhi Water Pavilion on the other side.
In this harem, there were female relatives of the concubine's family visiting from time to time, and Wuyang didn't pay much attention to it at first, until she saw that Yang Wu's girl "accidentally" dropped a handkerchief in her hand, and then the palace maid who led the way picked up the handkerchief again, and carefully "placed" it on a cluster of gardenias, and then the two walked into the Qingzhi Water Pavilion......
And the embroidered handkerchief seems to have been completely forgotten by these two people!
Wuyang is a smart person, and since he was a child, he has not seen the yin and selfishness in the palace, where do you not know this Yang Wu girl, no, it should be said that the Yang family is playing with some ideas!
Yang Huifei entered the palace at the beginning of last year, young and stunning, and was favored by the emperor for a while, but the emperor has always liked the new and hated the old, and since this year, she has slowly faded to her, but Liu Cairen has been promoted to Jieyu because of her pregnancy...... Thinking that Yang Huifei was in a hurry, the Yang family wanted to send her own sister Yang Wu into the palace to fix her pet.
Shameless, shameless!
Wuyang was in a hurry, so he asked the palace maid to pick up the veil, and went to Qingzhi Shuixie to talk to the fifth girl Yang, asking her if the veil was hers.
It didn't take long for the emperor to come, and he came over to talk to them for a while, and Wuyang simply took advantage of the emperor to ask her about her homework, and deliberately told the emperor that she was reading "Mencius" recently, and also memorized a few sentences of "Dedicated Chapters and Sentences", so as to mock Yang Wugirl.
The emperor didn't care, the matter was already in the past.
Who would have thought, the queen somehow found out about this, and called her today, saying that she was too impulsive, and said that "porcelain does not touch rotten tiles".
Wuyang was said to be aggrieved by the queen, and after coming out of Fengluan Palace, he simply went out of the palace to relax.
But after leaving the palace, Wuyang didn't know where to go, so he asked the coachman to drive in Beijing at will, and the god remembered the chance encounter with Duanmu Fei in Huangjue Temple that day, so he impulsively ran to Duanmu's house to call Duanmu Fei out.
"Sister Princess, let's go eat some delicious snacks!" Duanmu Scarlet's cute and delicate little face smiled very well-behaved, "Golden silk jujube mud cake, frosted millet cake, osmanthus honey lotus, cream fried cake, donkey rolling...... Every time I'm upset, my sister makes me a snack to eat! ”
Duanmu Fei gave examples one by one, and she couldn't help but glance at Duanmu Fei, why did this girl say that everything was her favorite dim sum?
"Then let's find a place to have a snack." Wu Yang said as he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, "Zhongsheng Street...... The main palace remembers that there is Luhua Pavilion in front, so let's go to Luhua Pavilion and sit down. ”
Duanmu Fei echoed, the corners of his mouth curved, and his bright eyes shone brightly. In the past, she and Wuyang would occasionally come to Luhua Pavilion to sit and have tea together.
The street outside was very lively, people came and went, and the coachman outside shouted, and the speed of the carriage slowly slowed down, and stopped at the door of Luhua Pavilion, which was more than ten feet away.
Immediately, the mother-in-law and maid of Luhua Pavilion greeted her, the mother-in-law helped take care of the carriage, and the maid entertained Duanmu Fei and Wuyang into the teahouse facing the street, today's teahouse is very lively, the lobby on the first floor is almost full, a lively and noisy.
Wuyang and Duanmu Fei were a little surprised, they didn't expect today's Luhua Pavilion to be so lively.
The maid led the way for the two in front and respectfully made a petition: "Two girls, please, there is a private seat upstairs." ”
As they walked up the stairs, they heard the crisp chatter and laughter of the girl's house coming from the direction of the second floor:
"There's no news from the martial arts arena yet?"
"There are a total of 500 candidates, only 100 are taken, how can it be so fast?!"
"It's been most of the day since I entered the venue in the morning, and it's so hot...... Why did the military department choose such a time, it's too frustrating. ”
"Miss Liu, look at what you said, when you are fighting, the enemy will never say that it will be cold because it is hot, right?"
"That's what Miss Wang said."
The girls on the second floor became more and more cheerful the more they talked, and the laughter was like silver bells.
Duanmu suddenly realized, no wonder there was so much excitement in Luhua Pavilion today, it turned out that the girls from various provinces gathered here to wait for the results of the martial arts test.
As soon as Duanmu Fei and Wuyang arrived on the second floor, they attracted a lot of attention, and the girls who were originally chatting by the window looked over curiously, and most of them glanced at the two of them, and then withdrew their gaze, but there were also a few eyes that stopped at Wuyang in surprise, as if they didn't expect her to appear here.
After the girls exchanged a few words, more eyes looked at Wuyang.
There was silence all around, except for the noise of the streets outside......
The maid was also accustomed to seeing dignitaries and nobles in the Luhua Pavilion, and vaguely felt that the identities of these two girls seemed to be unusual.
The girls stood up one after another, and after dressing up, they walked in the direction of Wuyang and Duanmufei.
Duanmu Fei saw at a glance that there were several familiar faces among these girls, such as the big blue girl he saw at the condensation meeting last time, Zeng San girl, and Chu Qingyu.
Chu Qingyu followed behind the girls slowly, she wore a blue twined branch treasure bottle makeup gown, pulled a crescent moon bun, and only wore two vivid silk flowers on the sideburns......
