Chapter 36: The Lord of the County
Xie Hualing looked down at her arm, her eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't force it, and said some comforting words to tell her not to be restrained, and then she went out with her girl.
Everyone is gone, the flower hall is a little quieter, Xie Qingning just found a vacant table in the corner and sat down, and saw that the girl who "encountered" in the bamboo courtyard at noon was turning in from behind the screen with the maid, and after his eyes fell on her, he was surprised and happy, "Hey, why are you?" I thought you wouldn't be coming to the feast. ”
"How so? I'm just not in good health, and I'm afraid I'm too sick to give the distinguished guests, so I'm a little late. Xie Qingning smiled at her, looked up and motioned for the kite to find someone to prepare a meal for her, and when she entered the inner hall, she was surprised to find that the girl had actually walked up to her and sat down.
"My eldest sister took them to the backyard to play a game of pitching pots, won't the girl go over?" Xie Qingning hurriedly explained, but saw her casually pick up the wine glass on the table and take a sip and said, "I don't like to flatter each other with them the most, and I have to pretend to be a lady in a vassal style, and I am really tired." ”
Xie Qingning opened his mouth slightly, his expression slightly stunned.
Although she thought so in her heart, it was one thing to think about it, and it was another thing to say it, but I didn't expect this girl to dare to say anything.
She asked with a smile, "Since the girl is a distinguished guest from Kyoto, she is naturally different, since you don't want to go to the backyard, then Qingning will accompany you to sit here." ”
As she was talking, Bang Zheng had already brought a tray over, and there were pastries and wine on the plate, but the wine was fruit wine, which smelled very good.
After Xie Qingning waited for her to set it up, he poured himself a glass of fruit wine and said to the girl, "I don't know the girl's name, can you give me advice?" ”
"Oh, don't be so polite, my small character is Zhangyu, my girlfriend's name is Ah Lian, why don't you just call me Ah Lian." The girl was enthusiastic and lively, and ordered the maid to fill the empty wine glass, and then touched her wine glass vigorously and smiled.
"Ah Lian?" Xie Qingning laughed, did anyone use this name?
"Yes, that's what my brother calls me, but my mother likes to call me Zhangyu," Yezhangyu pouted, drank the wine in one gulp, and then let the maid fill it.
"You can drink it slowly, although this fruit wine was not drunk at the time, but it has a lot of stamina, so you still drink less." Xie Qingning only took a sip and whispered comfort.
Yezhangyu frowned and said, "My good sister, I am not allowed to do this or that at home on weekdays, it is rare that the prince of the world is willing to take me out to see the world, you will let me go crazy for a few days, so as not to go back and have to stay in the orphanage, okay?" ”
When she called her "Brother Shizi", Xie Qingning realized that she was the stepsister of the prince of Zhengyang, the only young lady in the palace of Zhengyang, and she was the one who was called "Lord of Hejing" in Beijing.
"Since the county lord said so, Qing Ning is not easy to persuade him, it's a big deal to go back to the wing room to rest first when he is drunk, after all, it's just an unbearable headache after a hangover, and he will be reprimanded by your son's brother." Xie Qingning knew that it was difficult for this kind of noble girl to listen to advice, so she had no choice but to retreat as advance, and carried the prince of Zhengyang out to oppress people.
Yezhangyu was really stunned, thinking of the majestic face of the eldest brother when he was angry, he didn't dare to drink it all after all, but took a few pieces of pastry at random to taste, and asked by the way, "My sister looks like she is only seven or eight years old, I am nine years old this year, if you don't mind, how about calling me Sister Ah Lian?" ”
"The county lord is so easy-going, wouldn't it be hypocritical for Qing Ning to refuse, I just hope that Sister Ah Lian won't dislike me." Xie Qingning changed his name from the kind stream, which made the night palm jade eyebrows smile, and he actually reached out and took off the green jade bracelet on his wrist and handed it over and said, "So very good, I am the youngest at home, and I am all brothers, sisters and brothers when I enter the imperial court, but there is never a sister who can give me love and care, you and I are so close to you, I will give you this bracelet as a meeting gift, you accept it quickly." ”
"How can this be?" Xie Qingning didn't expect her to be so generous, but she was a little embarrassed, and when she looked up and saw that the maid behind her was not depressed, she sighed in her heart, and hurriedly excused herself, "Sister Ah Lian said this, but she saw the outside again, not only is she destined to be a sister, but she also cares about what these things outside her body do, and she has insulted our affection." ”
Yezhangyu was anxious, and forcibly put the bracelet on her wrist, while praising it, "My sister's skin is really white and delicate, you see that this snow-white wrist is paired with this bracelet, and even its luster is a little brighter, isn't it more suitable than me?" ”
The matter has come to this, Xie Qingning refuses to be pretentious, so he has to bow his head and thank him, Ye Zhangyu chuckled with satisfaction, and had a long time with her, seeing that the wine was coming up, his cheeks were crimson, his eyes were like peach blossoms, and he pulled her drunk and laughed and said, "Sister Qingning, what do you think the Lan family and the Han family are crazy?" It's just that the two juniors quarreled a few words and fought, lost some medical money, and apologized, so they had to be entangled, and they also went to Beijing to sue the royal court, which made the temple unpeaceful. Brother Shizi has been tired of coping with it these days, and he feels embarrassed, I think it is better to directly tie up those two boys and bring them back to the capital, and see if the two of them are still making trouble? ”
Xie Qingning's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Then how does your brother plan to do so?" ”
Although the dispute between the Lan clan and the Han clan was a civil matter, she knew that the Ye clan had already planned to weaken the immortal cultivation families in various continents, otherwise how could she take advantage of this incident to send envoys to deal with it, I am afraid that the drunkard did not intend to drink, and took the opportunity to explore the reality of the immortal cultivation families in Lanling City.
"The two of them are making too much trouble, and they have found high-ranking officials to support them in the court, and the prince and brother are also having a headache, so they can only hold back and wait quietly for ......the turnaround," Ye Zhangyu just muttered a few words, Xie Qingning heard dense footsteps coming from the inner courtyard, knowing that Xie Huayan had come back with all the female dependents, and just picked up the half-drunk and half-awake Ye Zhangyu, and when they came in, they quietly left on the grounds of accompanying her back to the wing room to rest.
Xie Huayan didn't want to stay with her for long, not to mention that Ye Zhangyu was a distinguished guest, so naturally he didn't stop her, only Xie Hualing was a little unhappy when he saw her so close to the county lord.
