Chapter 37: The Way of the Man
"Third sister!" Murong Xun looked at Murong Shan with a smile, her expression was as gentle as ever, as if nothing had happened, "I don't know what the third sister is doing here?" ”
Murong Shan wiped the corners of her mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and raised her eyes to look at Murong Xun, "Sister knows that you have been wronged in the morning, so she specially came to compensate you!" ”
Murong Xun smiled at the corner of his lips, with a slight coldness between his eyebrows, "It's not my sister's fault, why should my sister care!" ”
"The fifth sister didn't blame the third sister, the third sister was relieved!" Murong Shan smiled, and after the two wanted to talk a few more words, Murong Shan left. It's just that between words, Murong Shan always looks a little absent-minded.
Not long after Murong Shan left, Ying Ge said, "Miss, one of the maids of the third young lady asks to see you!" ”
Murong Xun's eyebrows moved, and he smiled: "Invite people in!" ”
After a while, the maid with thick eyebrows and big eyes was brought in, Murong Xun looked at her and smiled slightly, and said, "Xiu'er, I haven't seen her for a long time!" ”
This little maid was ordered by Murong Xun that day, and she was the embroiderer next to Murong Shan, she blessed Murong Xun and said, "I've seen Miss Five!" ”
Murong Xun smiled: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Xiu'er took out a cloth doll from her sleeve, this doll was full of silver needles, and there was a note pasted on the back, on which was written Murong Shan's birthday, she said: "When the third lady came to see the fifth miss, she ordered the slave maid to secretly put this thing in the courtyard of the fifth miss, and the slave felt that it was a big deal at this time, so she came to ask the fifth lady what she meant!" ”
Murong Xun's eyes were as fierce as the cold moon in winter, and his whole body was full of indifference, "Xiu'er, you did a good job!" ”
"Miss, I don't know what happened to Miss looking for an old body?" Chen's mother was still dressed in plain clothes, and her old face was a little more ruddy. Although Murong Xun secretly did a lot of things for Chen's mother, Chen's mother was still as simple as before.
"Is Mother Chen okay?" Murong Xun held Chen's mother's rough hand and asked with concern.
"The old body is very good, but there has been some gossip about the young lady recently, and I think it is to make the young lady feel wronged!" Chen's mother said with tears in her eyes.
"Xun'er wants to ask Chen's mother to do me a favor!" Murong Xun said, took out a rag doll from his sleeve, looked at the surprise in Chen's mother's eyes, and said: "I often hear my mother mention Chen's mother's needlework, Chen's mother looks at the needle and thread of this rag doll, I want to ask my mother to use this person's stitch to sew something for Xun'er!" After that, Murong Xun whispered a few words in Chen's mother's ear.
In June, thousands of miles are cleared, and between the summer heat, there are already cicadas chirping. In a small garden in the Prime Minister's Mansion, two Yahuan are holding fruit bowls and fruits, walking on the winding path.
"Look, what's that?" A little maid looked at something under the boulder and said suspiciously, she handed the thing in her hand to another little maid beside her, "I'll take a look!" ”
As he spoke, he leaned over and took out something that looked like a purse under the rock, and when he saw the things on the purse, his face suddenly turned red, "Ah! How could there be such obscene/filthy things in the Prime Minister's Mansion! I'm going to report to Madame! ”
As he spoke, he took the thing embroidered with the intercourse of men and women, and hurried to report to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady held the purse handed over by the maid ring in her hand, her face turned red with anger, and she immediately recruited several housekeepers and aunts in the house to copy the prime minister's mansion and find out the person who was promiscuous in the prime minister's mansion.
When this mighty army of copyists came to Murong Xun's Tingyuxuan, they searched all the courtyards, eager to dig three feet into the ground, but they didn't find anything unfavorable, so they had no choice but to retreat.
And when these people arrived at the third lady's residence again, they found a rag doll in the closet in the house, which was full of silver needles, and Murong Xun's birth date was written on the back. The moment she saw the rag doll, Murong Shan's face turned pale in an instant, and she lost her usual leisure and elegance, and said sharply: "I haven't done this thing, someone must have framed me, someone must have framed me!" ”
It's just that many people, so many pairs of eyes have seen this rag doll, even if the eldest lady has the heart to cover it, she is afraid that the paper can't contain the fire, so she has to make this matter clear to Murong Hua, after Murong Hua listened to the eldest lady's words, his expression was cold, and he didn't say anything immediately, but just ordered the eldest lady to put Murong Shan under house arrest temporarily, and no one was allowed to mention the matter. After all, she is also a nominal member of the Heavenly Family, and if this matter is used by everyone to make a fuss, the entire Prime Minister may be implicated.
As early as the period of the first emperor, there was a witch curse, which almost caused chaos in the world, and the common people were in trouble, so the first emperor had issued a ban, and the witchcraft was banned in the territory of Daxiang, and the violators were immediately decided.
This time, Murong Shan wanted to use witchcraft to kill Murong Xun, but it was not that he didn't want to set himself on fire, he just regretted it in his heart, but every stitch and thread of the doll was embroidered by himself, and he was helpless to deny it.
Murong Xun is not a good person, since Murong Shan wants her to die, she is just a tooth for a tooth!
And the days still quietly came to June 6 with their unchanged steps. June 6, the Lotus Festival, is the traditional festival of Daxiang, this day, young men and women are going out to the Wei River across Chang'an, put lotus lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, there are also bold men and women can confess to their favorite people, if they accept, it is considered to be a blind date, yes, many young men and women are looking forward to this day, hoping that this day can meet a good marriage, and it can be regarded as a large blind date venue.
On this day, Shangguan Zisang came early to find Murong Xun to go out to play. The fifth aunt half-leaned on the door, looking at Shangguan Zisang with a smile, her red lips were still enchanting, "If there is one hair missing when I come back, I will pick your kid's skin!" ”
Shangguan Zisang listened to Yuxuan being taught a lesson by Wu Shuangshuang that day, and he was still very afraid of her martial arts in his heart, so he said unwillingly: "Don't worry!" How could I hurt her with my martial arts! ”
After following Shangguan Zisang out of Murong Mansion, he found Shangguan Zixuan waiting for them in the carriage in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he saw the two of them getting into the car, Shangguan Zixuan asked, "Where do you want to play?" ”
Shangguan Zisang came to Shangguan Zixuan's side and said with a smile: "Naturally, I went to the most lively place!" ”
The carriage traveled all the way, and the lights on both sides of the street were brilliantly lit, which was a little more lively than usual.
Finally, we reached the bank of the Wei River, where the weeping willows on both sides of the river were clinging, stretching their waists in the night breeze. The surface of the river is covered with lotus lanterns of various shapes that come to pray, making the surface of the river sparkle like a sky full of stars. The riverside is crowded with handsome men and women who come to put lights and make wishes, looking at it, it is a young and fresh feeling, yes, it seems to see the future of the whole Daxiang, this young man who will control the fate of Daxiang in the future, will make Daxiang as prosperous as the river tonight?
As soon as she stepped into Chang'an City, Xia Shuang had already received several strange glances, indeed, her appearance was very eye-catching, but she was already used to these inquiring glances.
"Sister Xia, I'll send you here, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one should dare to be unfavorable to you!" Teenager holds his fist.
Xia Shuang also hugged her fists and smiled: "Thank you little marquis for your help along the way, Xia Shuang is grateful!" She remembered that the journey back was really thrilling. I thought that they would only be chased by the killer at most, but I didn't expect that the closer they were to Chang'an, the greater the resistance, not only the killer secretly chased and killed, but also in the open, there were also obstructions from the officials in various places, and finally Xia Shuang didn't dare to expose his identity at will, so he had to disguise himself, but he didn't expect that in Juan County, not far from Chang'an City, he actually received an attack from the army under the guise of the name, so he simply escaped a catastrophe and came back with great difficulty.
Along the way, Xia Shuang felt more and more the terrible power of the Shangguan family, it was really a big tree with deep roots, and the power was intertwined and unfathomable, if it was not uprooted, I was afraid that there would be endless troubles in the future.
The reddened eyes glanced at the young man lightly, Xia Shuang chuckled and said: "The little Hou Ye left Subei without permission, this time Xia Shuang just didn't see it, and I hope that the little Hou Ye will also be as you said, play for a few days and go back, don't give birth to too many incidents, Xia Shuang's eyes will always stare at you!" ”
The young man shook his head, and his black eyes took in the lively and prosperous scene around him, "It's so lively, but Sister Xia Shuang wants to talk about these serious things, I know that Sister Xia Shuang is loyal, please let my sister put one hundred and twenty hearts, I won't make it difficult for my sister!" ”
After a pause, the young man tidied up his clothes, helped the forehead on his forehead, looked at Xia Shuang and asked with a smile: "It's the Lotus Festival today, my sister looks at me and I'm still handsome, I plan to capture the hearts of all women today!" ”
Xia Shuang shook her head and said, "Don't play tricks anymore, I'll go first!" After that, Xia Shuang left with Li Erhu, who was dazzled by the sidelines.
After Xia Shuang left, the smile on the young man's face instantly turned cold, and he was also a little interested in looking at the prosperity around him. Leading the horse, walking alone in the unfamiliar streets of Chang'an, there are many bold girls on the street who secretly send him autumn waves, but he seems to have no feelings, and there is a cold indifference on his body that makes people thousands of miles away, so that although other women sigh that they are handsome outside, but no one dares to come forward to talk.
And on the same street, the one who is in stark contrast to the loneliness of the young man is Shangguan Zisang, who is left and right.
Shangguan Zi Sangsheng's handsomeness, coupled with his good mood today, his delicate eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the corners of his mouth are even higher, making him look kind, but with a trace of unreachable, such a man is the most suitable for women to dream, but it is only half an hour, and before he has finished shopping, he has received bouquets from countless women in his hands, and he is also a person who does not refuse.
Originally, Shangguan Zixuan was also an excellent man, gentle as jade, like grinding, but he was the appearance of an ideal husband, but he walked side by side with a woman, the woman was dressed in white, her face was delicate, and her dark eyes were clear and cold, so the average woman retained a few points of distance from Shangguan Zixuan.
At this time, Shangguan Zisang was squatting by the river, gently pushing away the lotus lantern that had just finished writing his wish, and after seeing that Murong Xun beside him also pushed away the lotus lantern beside him, he leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Do you want to know what my brother's wish is?" ”
"Huh?" Murong Xun blinked, his black eyes shining, brighter than the stars in the sky.
Shangguan Zisang smiled and took out a lotus lantern from the side, and whispered: "Brother Fangcai, I haven't been pushed away by the water yet, I intercepted it!" He winked at Murong Xun, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, like two butterflies, and his eyes were smiling, "What, are you interested?" ”
