Chapter Forty-Eight: Listening to Laughter
I grinned awkwardly, stared at his nose, deliberately didn't look him in the eye, and muttered, "I've always been polite, you just don't know."
Wen Er chuckled, looked at me, and bowed slightly: "There was a misunderstanding in Wushuochuan that day, Wen Er failed to recognize the princess, and I hope the princess will not blame."
I hurriedly waved my hand: "Don't blame, don't blame, but I offended Miss Wen, and I hope you don't have the same knowledge as me."
Changji was confused: "What misunderstanding?" You've already seen it? ”
Wen Er and I were silent at the same time, and we both kept silent about that day.
Turning into the corridor, Changjiyun glanced at me lightly, I was a little depressed, and turned my head to look at Duobu, she didn't seem very happy, and kept her face stiff.
"I heard from my mother that you have been learning embroidery recently?" After Changji sat down across from me, he suddenly asked aloud about it. His eyes narrowed, as if he was waiting to see my joke, and he looked ill-intentioned. I refused to answer, and he teased again: "This is also difficult for you, with your little ability, let you learn to be a female celebrity, it is obviously to catch ducks on the shelves." How about the hand, I didn't get pricked by the needle. ”
I was a little embarrassed, and subconsciously looked at Wen Er, afraid that she would laugh at her. She had a soft light in her eyes and whispered: "The princess should not listen to his nonsense, he is used to making fun of others."
I was silent, lowered my voice and said, "Where is a joke, it is obviously a blow." ”
Changji smiled, noncommittal. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the head of the lunar eclipse, and fed it a piece of osmanthus cake, the lunar eclipse just sniffed, and he smiled again: "The mouth is really picky, the same as your master."
I snatched his pastry and stuffed it into my mouth: "I don't pick my mouth at all!"
The corners of his mouth were raised, and he didn't argue with me. I looked up and saw a few people coming in from the entrance.
Tao Yu'er stood beside Baili Yuan, Qin Luoxue followed Princess Yanchen, and after that, there were Tao Ruo and Wu Pingqi, plus a Sheng Yunjiang, who was inconspicuous behind people. I secretly said, what the hell is this combination.
I saw from the left to the right and from the right to the left, but I didn't see Yu Gui and Yunkang, I got up and asked Qin Luoxue: "Why don't you see Yunkang?"
Qin Luoxue's eyes were dim, and she smiled, but she didn't reply to me.
I asked Baili again: "Did Yu Gui come with you?"
Baili shook her head: "She doesn't want to come."
The corners of my eyes twitched, and I didn't want to come? How is this possible, she loves to be lively the most, and always loves to follow Baili Li, wherever she goes, she will be willing to get along with such a good opportunity. said that if she didn't want to come, it would kill Baili Li, and I didn't believe it.
There was laughter outside, and I looked over to see that it was Meng Jie. As soon as he entered the door, a room of people stood stunned, and he hesitated: "What kind of meeting is this?"
Wen Er got up and said, "Please take a seat, everyone." Feel free and don't be inhibited. ”
"I thought everyone would be here today, but there were still a few fewer people. If you don't see it, the herring fish, even if you don't have good health. It seems that your face is not big enough. ”
Thirteen Niang is Wen Er's nickname, and Yu Hui told me before, but this is the first time I've heard someone call her like this.
Tao Xu'er's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people around her to hear clearly, but she had sharp eyes, and she could tell at a glance who had not come. Everyone said it, but they didn't mention Yunkang.
A subtle silence followed. The smile on Qin Luoxue's lips was originally still encouraging, but now when she heard it, she said coldly: "Yes, you shouldn't come, but you shouldn't come."
This time, he offended everyone. However, everyone knew that he was disappointed that he didn't see Yunkang, and he didn't have any displeasure for the time being, and one by one he intentionally or unintentionally, openly or secretly, set his eyes on the banquet ministers sitting beside Qin Luoxue. The banquet minister was calm, and dragged Baili Yuan into it with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Fourth brother, let's quickly pick a good position and sit down, so as not to be robbed later."
Baili Yuan was not in a hurry or impatient, walked in slowly, his eyes slowly moved from the banquet to Wen Er's face, Wen Er bowed his head slightly, Baili Yuan's eyes were bright, and his smile was warm.
The eclipse suddenly came out from under the table and swaggered to me, rubbing my hands affectionately. I crouched down and hugged it. Wudi, Tao Fu screamed, tremblingly ran behind Tao Ruo to hide, showing his head and pointing at the lunar eclipse in panic and shouting: "Where is the dog, come here, blast it out."
My eyes were like knives, and I glared at her fiercely, which was really rare and strange.
After a while, the people in the house paid attention to the lunar eclipse, looking like they wanted to touch it but didn't dare to touch it, and they were very witty.
The banquet naughtily tugged at the ears of the lunar eclipse, wrapped his arms around its neck without fear, and said happily: "What a big dog, it's the first time I've seen such a good-looking dog."
I corrected, "The eclipse is a wolf, not a dog."
Really, is it so difficult to identify, my family's lunar eclipse is faceless, the dignified snow wolf is always treated as a dog, how can the dignity of the wolf clan exist!
Tao Xu'er said angrily: "How can anyone tame a wolf as a pet, isn't the princess joking."
The atmosphere here is harmonious and happy, and she is treated as transparent. She sat with a blushing face for a moment, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, Wu Pingqi's face changed, and he said in a stiff tone: "This is my wine glass......
Tao Xu'er glared at Wu Pingqi, pursed her lips and said, "I want to use it, what's wrong."
The corners of Wu Pingqi's mouth rose, and he sneered: "Miss Tao, I just want to remind you that this cup was licked by the lunar eclipse just now, and I originally planned to change it." Since you don't dislike it, then keep it. ”
Seeing Tao Xu'er's ugly expression of wanting to cry without tears, as if eating a fly, I couldn't help laughing, and several people looked at me and laughed, and they couldn't bear it anymore, and they covered their mouths and snickered.
Tao Xu'er was annoyed and angry, but she didn't dare to accuse others, so she had to stare at Tao Liulang and scold him for being angry. Tao Ruo touched his nose and looked at everyone apologetically.
If it were ordinary, Tao Xu'er would have turned her face with Wu Pingqi a long time ago, because in her eyes, Wu Pingqi's background was not as good as her, and she could scold and belittle the object. But at this moment, in the face of this unprecedented humiliation, she didn't even make any moves. After glancing at Wu Pingqi coldly, she stared at Baili Yuan fixedly, but how could there be her in Baili Yuan's eyes, only Wen Er could be seen. Tao Yu'er became more and more resentful, and when he slammed, he smashed the cup on the table.
Wen Er didn't say anything about it, only asked his subordinates to clean up the fragments of the cups, and before long, he instructed his subordinates to start preparing the tea cups.
I didn't move any of the candied fruits, dried pears, jujubes, almonds, and pastries brought by the maid, only focusing on the plate of grapes in front of Zhao Qingyu, but I have never dealt with her, and I was really embarrassed to ask her for it. She glanced at me proudly, knowing that I loved to eat this fruit, and deliberately moved the plate of grapes farther away because she wanted to anger me. This move, the position is better than before, and it is moved to the front of Tao Xu'er. I licked my lips and smashed them again, staring at the plate of grapes unwillingly. I pitifully tugged at my long sleeve and winked at him, he sighed helplessly, stretched out his long hand, took the plate of grapes and handed it to me: "Eat." ”
For a while, I was emotionally complicated, surprised and happy, and I was simply flattered. I looked up contentedly, and everyone was looking at me, and I was in a good mood eating the grapes in their surprised eyes.
At this moment, the banquet minister was picking up a piece of transparent flower cake and preparing to stuff it into the mouth of the lunar eclipse, when he saw that there were grapes in my hand, his movements froze, and he glared at Changji and said: "Changji is eccentric, there are good things that don't honor the elders first, and I haven't eaten your little aunt yet."
Changji smiled with his eyebrows and handed over a plate of dates: "The grapes are cool, and they are not suitable for my little aunt." You are still suitable for eating dates. ”
"I don't eat dates!"
The banquet minister pouted in displeasure, pushed Qin Luoxue, and ordered: "Little snowman, go, bring me a plate of grapes."
Qin Luoxue didn't move, only looked out the door with a stiff face, I knew that he was still waiting for Yunkang. The banquet minister's face was as red as dansha, as if he was about to be angry, and when he was about to say something, I grabbed it and said, "Eat this, mine is for you."
In order to calm down this turmoil, I decided to cut my love and immediately handed her the grapes in my hand. She glanced at me, took it, and stuffed the grapes into her mouth one by one, as if she was angry. I was so distressed, I felt sorry for the grapes that I was about to be wiped out before I could eat a few of them.
My heart is dripping blood, leave some for me, leave some for me, don't eat it all......
Grapes are rare in Nanzhan, and they can't be eaten a few times a year, and ordinary people have never seen them. Wen Eryin had just returned from the Usho River, so it was not surprising that there were grapes in the house, but the number of grapes he brought back was limited. There are two plates on the table, one plate is in Baili Yuan, and it was swallowed by this guy Meng Jie, and the other plate was originally mine, but now it is all in the stomach of the banquet minister. I looked at the empty plate on the table with a disheartened heart and sighed.
Just as I was feeling sad, Wen Er suddenly accosted me, she chuckled reservedly, and said softly: "I heard that the princess is also studying and practicing calligraphy in Shangshuyuan." It's really envious, presumably the academy must have a lot of interesting things to do on weekdays. It's a pity that I went to Saiwai with my father, and I didn't have the opportunity to go to school, otherwise, I really wanted to listen to Hao Fuzi's lectures. The master is both virtuous and artistic, and he is full of peach and plum all over the world, and he is really lucky to be his student. ”
I smiled and didn't know how to answer, so I just said: "Miss Wen is very good-natured, smart and clever, but she is not taught by Master Hao, but she also has the talent to sing the words, and she has a beautiful mouth." Not as dull and foolish as me, listening to the Master's teachings every day, I still haven't made much progress. ”
"The princess is exaggerating, how can Wen Er have the princess say so well. Princess Bingxue is smart and generous, which is what Wen Er yearns for. ”
I didn't laugh and didn't say anything. You yearn for it, and so can you.
Wen Er said something to me one after another, most of them were praising me, but I didn't have anything worthy of her praise, and it wasn't all polite words. I don't like to talk to her, I always feel like I'm playing a game of idiom solitaire, I'm stupid, I searched for a few idioms and finished speaking, I really don't want to continue this topic.
While talking, a maid had already pushed open the door and came in, bringing a porcelain basin for cleaning her hands. After that, a maidservant girl picked up the bead curtain, brought the tea set, and after a while, the lake crab was served one after another.
I learned that everyone knelt firmly on the thick brocade mat, and the small table in front of me was a table for eating crabs later. The maids knelt down and began to wash their hands and burn incense, and arranged the flower arrangements that were trimmed elegantly and beautifully, and seven or eight maids, Wan Tingting, came forward, each holding a small silver basin in her hand.
