Chapter 182: The Lady (1)
The hot wind is scorching, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are swaying with a huge round dome, sprinkling a piece of greenery, in an extremely comfortable house on the outskirts of Beijing, the courtyard is deep, and the outside is surrounded by a heavy lotus pond, pink lotus, green leaves, astragalus, it looks very comfortable in this summer evening.
It's a pity that there are only a few traces of lonely cold cast in this huge mansion, and it doesn't seem to blend with the warmth and comfort around it.
Ruoxi sighed and got off the soft sedan chair, her current identity is not what it used to be, even if she has said it to Wei Sa hundreds of times, she just went out of the palace to relax, and she didn't need to be accompanied, but that guy still had to send a soft sedan chair over, fortunately, she would only go to Bai Jiang in advance, and let him replace the sedan chair bearers with his own people, otherwise the destination of her trip would be easily exposed.
She didn't want Wei Sa to know that she was going to Zhong Ergongzi's mansion, it would be really bad.
Ruoxi stepped off the sedan chair, raised his eyes, and saw a boxy plaque hanging on a high place, with four big characters written on it gilded and chiseled.
"Fragrant".
The font is neat and there is also a charm of romance, from the word view of people, it is not difficult to see that the person who wrote this plaque is actually a person who is very uneasy about the status quo, and there is a state of contempt that can not be ignored in his little handwriting, and there are some sharp edges hidden faintly.
Ruoxi restrained her gaze, lifted the skirt, took two steps forward, Xiaoxiao has been following her side, and patted the door panel for her, the copper ring on the vermilion door with a shiny lacquer surface swayed back and forth, making a clear sound, a little muddy and heavy, at the moment when the door was opened, Ruoxi faintly smelled a faint smell of medicine.
Frowning slightly, Ruoxi smiled at the old man who came to open the door, the old man was about fifty or sixty years old, and he seemed to be a little hunchbacked, so compared to Ruoxi's height, he was a little shorter.
"Girl...... Looking for someone? "Unexpectedly, the old man's voice is not the kind of aging desolate voice, but very loud, and his opening made Ruoxi and Xiaoxiao startled." Uh, this ...... Uncle, is this the Zhong Mansion? ”
The old man smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were even worse, "Yes, and it's Zhong Ergongzi's mansion." He learned from the experience of the last conversation with the moon and said it in advance, Xiaoxiao obviously didn't react to what this old man was talking about, so he turned his mind and looked at Ruoxi in confusion to ask for some explanation.
Ruoxi's mind was all on the lotus pond in the courtyard, this pool was much better than the pool he passed by when he came back from Wei Furong last time, but it was much more beautiful, at least, the lotus flowers in this pool were complete, and the flowers were very large, and the lotus leaves were as big as a car cover.
She was so fascinated that she didn't even receive a smile for help, and walked directly between the two in the conversation, while admiring, "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful lotus!" She was amazed at the beauty of the flower pond in front of her, ignoring the main house behind the pond, and hurried out of the house. When the man saw Ruoxi, his face was very raw, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and ask, "Hey, who are you?" How did you get in? ”
Ruoxi heard someone shouting, looked up, and when he saw it, he was happy, and there was a pretty little girl standing in front of him, who was about a year or two older than herself, but she had a long baby face, and her voice was also very sharp and crisp, as if the sound of bamboo shoots being cut after the rain.
"I'm Bai Ruoxi, hehe, if you ask me how I got in? This is, of course, coming in through the gate. Ruoxi smiled very scoundrelly, the girl was stunned, as if she thought her answer was very interesting, and when she smiled, she felt that it was inappropriate, and she crossed her hands on her waist and asked, "Are you here to find someone?" ”
"Yes, I'm looking for Miss Smoke, I heard that she's not in good health lately, so I'll come and have a look." Ruoxi said as he looked around, stretching his neck, "I just don't know if she's not there." ”
"Oh, little red girl, these two girls are here to visit Miss Lingering Smoke, and before I can ask if this is true, this girl came in first." The old man said very politely to this girl named Xiaohong, Xiaohong saw that it was him, and smiled, "It's okay, Fubo, you go and get busy, I'll just greet these two girls." Fu Bo smiled and left, and when he left, he took a deep look at Ruoxi's body, and Ruoxi felt that his head was beginning to go numb.
"Miss Lingering is my girl, what's the matter? Are you an old acquaintance with my girl? Xiaohong is a person who fights with others in three minutes, not to mention that this woman who made her feel good at first sight still rushed over after hearing that her girl was sick, which made her feel more at ease.
Ruoxi also likes this kind of person with a big grinning personality, smiled and shook his head, "Although I am not an old acquaintance with your girl, I can definitely say that I have been friends for a long time. Ruoxi smiled very sweetly, giving people a taste that could not be refused, Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "You don't know my girl?" How do I know that my girl is sick? ”
Ruoxi smiled mysteriously and leaned into Xiaohong's ear and said, "In the past, Miss Lingering Smoke was full of friends, if I wanted to inquire a little about Miss Lingering's current situation, it shouldn't be a difficult matter." ”
Xiaohong nodded suddenly and patted her head, "That's right, I said why are so many people coming to visit her recently!" It turned out that they were all summoned by friends, hey, next time I have to let them stop being so loud, they always come, and the second son should be unhappy. ”
Realizing that she had said too much, Xiaohong happily took Ruoxi's hand, "The girl just drank the medicine, and she is lying in the house at this time, she shouldn't have fallen asleep yet, you came just in time, if it were a little later in the evening, it is estimated that she will sleep again." ”
Ruoxi smiled and took her hand, "This is my fate!" Xiaoxiao, divide the fruits we brought to Xiaohong girl," Xiaoxiao agreed, took a big step forward, handed her the fruit basket in her hand, and smiled sweetly, "Sister Xiaohong, I am Xiaoxiao, this is a little bit of our girl's heart, don't shirk." Xiaohong looked at the strange-shaped fruits in the basket, and couldn't help but be attracted to the past, several kinds of fruits in the basket were strange fruits she had never seen before, some red, some purple looked very beautiful and attractive.
Xiaoxiao saw her like this, and hurriedly lit another fire, "Some of these fruits are transported from far away, absolutely fresh, hehe, you can just keep it, maybe the girl will like it." Smiled and pointed to the purple one in the basket, "This mouth is sweet, but it's delicious." Xiaohong subconsciously swallowed her saliva, took the basket full of fruits with joy, and pulled Ruoxi into the house with a smile.
The room should be occupied by a single person, so there is a strong fragrant fragrance, Ruoxi came into the house, and very carefully smelled a faint imperceptible medicinal smell in a fragrant fragrance, as if the owner of the room was deliberately using incense powder to cover up the medicinal smell in the room.
The pink curtain hung long and softly on the floor, smooth and overlapping with various patterns, as if the structure and layout of the room had been carefully arranged by the owner. Ruoxi fixed his gaze on the hanging vertical portrait on the wall, the narrow scroll with delicate patterns depicted with meticulous brushwork, although the age and yellowing of the paper, and some places seemed to have been eaten by insects, and there were traces of small holes.
But the woman in this portrait is definitely a peerless beauty, with unparalleled beauty, a slender waist, and a faint sadness and favor between her expectations, as if she is silently looking at her negative lover with a full house of autumn water. It makes people unconsciously immersed in it when they look at it.
"Girl, a guest has come to see you." Xiaohong jumped to the side of the bed, helped Yingyan up, Yingyan's slender body appeared in the gauze tent Zhizhou, she seemed to be very thin, Ruoxi saw her move, and her heart was relieved, just when she entered the house, she barely felt a little bit of the breath of life in this room, and almost thought that Yingyan had fallen asleep.
If she had slept, wouldn't she have come for nothing today?
"Who is it?" There was a clear weakness in Haunting's tone, as if these words were a lot of physical work for her.
"Smoke Girl?" Ruoxi took a step forward, Xiaohong opened the gauze tent on the bed at this time, and the lingering smoke poked her head out of it, Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh when she looked at her haggard pale face, and the two looked at each other, as if something was inadvertently revealed.
That thing is probably called "sympathy".
Heroes cherish heroes, and beauties love beauties. This is a truth that has been passed down through the ages, Ruoxi sighed slightly, her eyes stayed on her body, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of beautiful and colorful woman she should be when she is healthy! The skin is like coagulation, the lips are like red ling, the two willow leaf-like curved eyebrows hang under the forehead, and the pair of Danfeng eyes are even more seductive. She didn't seem to smile much, and there was a faint, natural charm at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
This woman is definitely a red face that can turn the country upside down!
Zhong Liangye, Zhong Liangye, do you have the ability to let such a peerless stunner stay by your side? How did you be so ruthless that you let this woman suffer because of your son? How could he bear to poison her own hands to kill her?
Ruoxi muttered to herself, looked at the pair of slightly distracted eyes, and said softly, "Qingben beauty." ”
