Chapter 170: First Encounter
Walking on the reflection of the glorious clouds all over the ground, two figures quietly appeared in front of the large mansion where the guests were sparse due to the laziness of the host's family. One is tall and slender, the other is slightly shorter. Both of them were dressed in blue clothes, and although the weather was getting hotter now, they seemed to feel no heat at all, and they were both wearing mopping robes, and they seemed to be too weak to erect wide robes, and when the wind blew them, their clothes swayed back and forth, like red paper lanterns under the eaves of the black tiled eaves in front of the door of the house.
Even in such a disguise, Fu Bo, the housekeeper who opened the door, still saw the fact that these two people were daughters at a glance.
He was stunned for a moment, and then owed a little, his silver and black hair was exposed in front of the two people, "Two little boys, what are you doing?" He used the words very appropriately, not only did not reveal the true identities of the two of them, but also made the other party feel that they were seen through.
The slightly shorter "son" opened his mouth first, and his tone was also very polite, "This old man, may I ask if this is Zhongfu?" ”
"Indeed." Fauber was not the slightest surprised by such a strange beginning of the conversation, because he saw the cold arrogance in the eyes of the tall man, and these two people must have come from a lot of background.
"Then this Zhong Mansion is Lord Zhong Liangye's mansion?" The short man asked again, and this question seemed more like a nonsense than the one just now. There were three or two small people gathered around Fu Bo, who seemed to be very curious about how Fu Bo had opened the door for so long, and no guests had come in, you know, they had not had guests in this Zhong Mansion for a long time.
"This little boy is right, it is Lord Zhong Liang Ye Zhong's mansion." The little guys next to him couldn't help but snicker, as if they were laughing at the conversation between the two people, which was very ridiculous. Fauber glanced at them slightly, and the young guys, who were not very old, stopped their mouths, hurriedly dispersed, and went about their own work.
"In that case, please lead the way, my son-in-law wants to meet Lord Zhong." The shorter man said.
Fu Bo pondered for a moment, then clenched his fists and said, "The two sons please go into the mansion to have a cup of tea, and wait for the old man to go in and report it." Fu Bo called two servants over, served the two into the west living room for a while, and went into the main house by himself, and informed Zhong Liangye to know.
In the main house, Zhong Liangye was writing the folding document that he planned to sell tomorrow, Fu Bo knew that he didn't like people to disturb him the most at this time, so he muttered outside the house for a long time before he hesitated, turned around and left, and next to the room where Zhong Liangye was the room with lingering smoke.
Clusters of green trees and red flowers show that this place is a woman's residence.
Lingering smoke usually takes a nap in her room at this time, and she doesn't seem to be in good health these days, always showing some signs of lethargy and snoring, and several times she sleeps in the afternoon, and these days she has brought this rest time to the morning.
Fu Boluo was a little embarrassed, Zhong Liangye was busy with official business, and the only girl in the family who could take charge of the cigarette was also resting, how should the two guests deal with it now?
"Fauber? What makes you so embarrassed? A girl's crisp voice came from behind him, and Fu Bo turned his head with a raised eyebrow, it was Xiaohong, the personal maid beside Miss Lingering.
"Where's the Smoke Girl? But still asleep? He asked evasively.
Xiaohong was very well-behaved, and quickly shook her head, her face was also full of joy, "Our girl doesn't want to rest today, and she is facing a post at this time, not to mention that she wants to drink tea, I went to boil water." She raised the teapot in her hand as she spoke, and it was really fragrant, it was the best tea, and when she smelled it, she knew that it was the first tea, which was refreshing and sweet.
Fauber nodded, and reached out to knock on the door twice for her, "Since Miss Lingering is not asleep, then the old man will go and beg for mercy." He raised his feet and wanted to leave, but Xiaohong grabbed him, "Hey, Fauber, my girl hasn't dressed up yet, so you just go in?" Fu Bo's face flushed, and he took back the foot that had just stretched out, and frowned, "That's still Little Red Girl, you go and help me tell Miss Yingyan, saying that there is a guest visiting today to see the adult, and the adult is busy, please help Miss Yingyan to meet." ”
Xiao Hongmei nodded with a smile, "I know, I know, this is to help Master Zhong, my girl is willing." After speaking, he was not afraid of spilling the tea in his hand, so he ran straight in. She was a little maid who had been serving Yingyan, when Yingyan got out of the Qinglou as an official prostitute, she also stunned her out, she was a person who was used to living in the Qinglou, she was quite bold, the people of the entire Zhongfu, she didn't look at it at all, if it wasn't for Yingyan telling her a big reason several times, she herself would have almost become the boss of this Zhongfu. Fauber watched her go in, and then turned back to the shade behind him to wait for a reply.
After a while, Xiaohong ran out again, "Fubo, go and do your own work, my girl will come out." When Fu Bo arrived, Xiaohong was startled, and dodged back, "Don't, don't be like this, you see, I said that as soon as the girl got involved with Lord Zhong, it was one hundred and twenty hearts." Sticking out her tongue mischievously, Xiaohong turned around and ran in, talking to him while talking, "I'll go in first to serve the girl and change her clothes, Fubo, please poop." ”
There was about half a cup of tea, and as soon as the door panel opened, a Tingting curling figure walked out of the house, Xiaohong helped her, and reminded, "The girl looked at the soles of her feet, the weather has been good in the past two days, and the grass at the door has grown, and it is very slippery with a little water." "Is there grass growing on it? Yingyan lowered her head and took a closer look, sure enough, a few clusters of green grass grew crookedly next to the crack in the door, time was really fast, when was this, she didn't even notice it at all, probably because she was too sleepy these days, right?
"Guests are taking it?" She looked around, but she didn't see the guest Fauber was talking about. Xiaohong pointed in the direction of the living room in the front yard, "Fauber told them to stay there first, let's go over." Yingyan nodded and walked over with Xiaohong.
When her gaze fell on the two people sitting idly in the room, the gentle smile on her face changed slightly, because she also keenly saw that these two people were not real men, but women in disguise. Why did two women who didn't know who come back to visit Zhong Liangye? With such a question in mind, she walked in.
When she looked at it again, there was no little surprise on her beautiful and moving face, and she came to the two of them, slightly blessed, "The two sons have been waiting for a long time, and the slave family is polite." ”
The two men looked at her and couldn't help but be surprised, especially the tall woman, who had a visibly surprised look when she turned her head. Even if she herself is a beauty who has fallen into the country and the city, her face with obvious alien characteristics has been hidden by her sleeves, and it is not until this moment that she puts it down, and the owner of that beautiful face is the princess of the moon.
Most of the women in the palace are beautiful and beautiful, but Xianyue insists that the so-called beauties she has seen are not as beautiful as the one in front of her. Her charm is soft, as if it can penetrate into people's bones, and after taking a look, she just wants to look away, but she can't.
"Are you a smoker?" She asked softly.
Lingering smoke evoked a little smile, "The slave lingering smoke, I have given my son a salute." Lord Zhong is sorting out his official business at this time, and he may not be able to come over to accompany him in person. Please also forgive me. Her voice is just as gentle and touching as she is, even if she says something that rejects others, the other party will not be so disgusted.
Xianyue smiled, this is the power of a real woman, when she rejected you and seduced you, she was silent and untraced, in ignorance, she captured her prey and returned.
"It's okay, I've heard the good name of the girl who lingered for a long time, and it's also a beautiful thing to finally see it today." She looked up and down at the legendary woman called Lingering Smoke, and a thought suddenly flashed through her heart.
"If Childe has something important to say to Lord Zhong, you can do it here for a while, and wait after lunch." She glanced at the empty teacup on the coffee table, and called a small servant over, "Take out the good tea at home and brew a pot carefully." ”
"You're welcome, girl." The more she looked at this woman, the more she felt that she was really a rare smart person, and she was definitely her good partner. Her heart moved, and she asked casually, "I often heard that the girl has a different status in the Zhong Mansion, why, can't she still pass the word for Lord Zhong?" The implication of her words was to point out that Zhong Liangye did not trust her as much as she appeared to be.
Yingyan was unmoved, and smiled gently, "Adults are busy with major events, state affairs, a little woman from a slave family, and a woman from a Taoist family, I really don't dare to participate rashly." ”
"Have you heard of the current Eagle King's Mansion? I heard that it was because there was no capable master mother that it would become so down. If the Eagle Princess was here, the Eagle King's Mansion would not have ended up in today's fields. String Moon sighed.
Lingering smoke moved slightly, as if she understood the meaning of her words.
"Eagle King's Mansion? The slave family has only heard of the prestige of the Eagle King, but they don't pay much attention to the Eagle King's mansion, after the prince is gone, it is inevitable that such a big family business is not as good as before. Her reply was not leaky, the little maid came in at this time to add water, and Yingyan took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye, "It's almost noon, so please don't dislike the two guests, let's have dinner in the cold house." Duobao, go and ask the cook to cook a few good dishes and entertain the VIPs. She commanded softly, and the little servant hurried out again.
She turned to Xianyue and said, "Childe, please take a break, and when the adult's official business is completed, I will come to see the two of you, and the slave family will not bother much, and I will not accompany you." She lifted the corner of her skirt and stepped back.
Xianyue stood behind her, her gaze a little cold. I can't help but praise in my heart: What a shrewd woman who doesn't fall into a trap!
