Chapter 8: Twists and Turns (2)
Zhen'er helped the eldest lady to stand up slowly: "Jiang Qiufeng, what else do you want?" ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Jiang Qiufeng's eyes, and he said leisurely: "Father originally prepared a red agate peony carved bracelet from the foot of Rong Mountain for the eldest lady, but the eldest lady fell in love with that cheap hosta, it's a pity." The red agate bracelet on my mother's wrist was bright red, and even a peony petal was expensive, and the whole bracelet was even more valuable. ”
The eldest lady recalled that the bracelet on the eldest lady's wrist was shiny and lush, and it seemed that it was really a mistake, and she suddenly felt a little heartache.
Jiang Qiufeng saw the loss on the eldest lady's face, and said softly: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, don't you want to know the whereabouts of this bracelet?" ”
The eldest lady said: "Of course it's in your mother's hands, do you need to say that?" ”
Jiang Qiufeng was suddenly startled: "Big lady, my mother left the cloves to Qiufeng before leaving, and Qiufeng was playing by the lake and accidentally ,....."
Jiang Qiufeng saw that the eldest lady's eyes were full of surprise, looked at her eyes, and smiled slightly.
The eldest lady thought that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run: "Mrs. Ben is tired, go back to Xiu Yaxuan." ”
Jiang Qiufeng lowered his head and said respectfully: "Qiufeng, send off the eldest lady." ”
"Peony, cloves, send the eldest lady."
"Jiang Biwan, send off the eldest lady."
Lilac gently helped Jiang Qiufeng up, and Jiang Qiufeng knelt unsteadily on the ground.
Lilac said worriedly: "Third Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Jiang Qiufeng pounded his legs with both hands and said, it was really dangerous just now, but fortunately he was calm, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jiang Qiufeng looked at the other pair of hands on his arm: "Fourth sister, are you willing to accompany the third sister to have lunch and then go back to Yuxiu Pavilion?" ”
Jiang Biwan's heart was full of red agate bracelets, and she said softly: "The third sister hasn't slept all night, Biwan won't bother, and will come to visit the third sister another day." ”
Jiang Qiufeng saw that Jiang Biwan was in a hurry to leave, and her eyes were full of tenderness: "That's okay, sister will go to Biwan Pavilion to visit the fourth sister another day." ”
Jiang Biwan walked out of the Autumn Wind Pavilion, thinking that she would also rush to the lake to fish for bracelets. Jiang Biwan's eyes were full of hope when she heard the agate bracelet. Jiang Qiufeng smiled, and suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness coming.
Jiang Qiufeng approached the couch and lay down, exhausted.
He hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and Jiang Qiufeng closed the skin of his heavy eyes.
When Jiang Qiufeng woke up from his sleep, Peony helped Jiang Qiufeng get up. Jiang Qiufeng looked out the window at the mandala garden at sunset, the golden sunlight dyed the white mandala pale yellow, delicate.
Jiang Qiufeng remembered something and whispered in Peony's ear. A smile appeared in the corner of Peony's eyes and she nodded. The two then walked out of the Autumn Wind Pavilion.
The golden sunlight sprinkled the entire courtyard, and Peony helped Jiang Qiufeng to stroll on the path paved with golden sunlight and walked towards Lingbo Lake.
Having just walked past a tall poplar tree, Jane was standing on the edge of the lake and searching carefully with her bare feet. "Big lady, do you say that what the third lady said is true, and the agate bracelet is really here?"
The eldest lady looked at the pale yellow daffodils by the lake, stretched out her slender hand to peel off the daffodils, and examined them carefully. "With her character, she is the one who will do this, and you will look for it in the distance?"
Zhen'er's hands were already white, "Madam, we've been looking for two hours." ”
The eldest lady didn't care: "So what, if you find it, two days is worth it." ”
Jiang Qiufeng just wanted to leave, when he saw a pink figure approaching the eldest lady, it was the fourth sister Jiang Biwan, Jiang Qiufeng stopped and listened carefully with his ears sideways.
Jiang Biwan's eyes were full of regret, and she could barely endure it in the Autumn Wind Pavilion just now. I don't know why the eldest lady let Jiang Qiufeng go at the most critical moment. "Big lady, how can you let Jiang Qiufeng go so easily, then we haven't wasted our efforts. If you miss such a good opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to have another chance in the future. ”
Peony listened to Jiang Biwan's words, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Jiang Qiufeng put his finger to his mouth and motioned for her not to make a sound, and Peony nodded.
Jiang Qiufeng pulled the peony and whispered, "Do you remember what I told you?" ”
Peony blinked and said, "Third Miss, Peony remembers." ”
Jiang Qiufeng looked at the eldest lady and Jiang Biwan who were looking for bracelets, it seemed that they had taken the bait, very good, and the show was about to be staged. "Alright, it's our turn."
Jiang Qiufeng bypassed the tall poplar trees, avoided the eldest lady, and walked along the edge of the lake to a small bridge in the center of the lake.
Jiang Qiufeng glanced at the eldest lady and Jiang Biwan in the distance, who were still looking, and the timing was just right.
Then he raised his eyes and glanced at the peony.
Peony's clear voice echoed on the surface of the lake, "Third Miss, are you sure the bracelet really fell here?" ”
The eldest lady and Jiang Biwan looked for the voice, and when they saw Jiang Qiufeng on the stone bridge, they hurriedly pulled the peony and said softly: "Peony, you should be quiet." If someone hears about it, then the precious bracelet will be gone. ”
Jiang Qiufeng glanced at the person in the distance, gently wrapped one hand around the pillar on the stone bridge, leaned down slightly, and stretched out his other hand to the lake. ”
Jiang Qiufeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go ask someone to help." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked down the stone bridge from the other end.
The eldest lady, Zhen'er, Jiang Biwan, and Cui'er walked together to the stone bridge in the middle of the lake, and the eldest lady looked down at the daffodils floating in the center of the lake, and the pale yellow daffodils blocked the eldest lady's view.
Jane hugged the stone pillar with one hand and reached out to the lake with the other, but she still couldn't reach it. Jiang Biwan was looking at Zhen'er struggling to reach the water, and she had an idea in her heart.
Jiang Biwan proposed: "It's better to do this, Cui'er and I hugged Zhen'er, Zhen'er bent her body towards the lake, and her hands could fish together, I think this might be done." ”
The eldest lady thought to herself that this was a good idea, "Okay, Zhen'er, you go a little further, and the fourth lady and Cui'er will hug you." ”
Zhen'er began to bend towards the stone bridge, stretching out her slender jade bi and stretching out to the water, Jiang Biwan and Cui'er behind her hugged Zhen'er's waist tightly. Jane slowly fished down, gently peeling off the daffodils with her hands, scooping them up.
Zhen'er saw a red shadow at the bottom of the lake rippling with the water, and said in surprise: "Big lady, I seem to have seen a bracelet." ”
The eldest lady's eyes immediately lit up: "Good job, this lady will definitely reward you heavily." ”
At the other end of the stone bridge, two columns of maidservants and guards were walking towards the stone bridge, and the eldest lady felt a burst of joy when she looked at the visitors, these people must have helped her to get the bracelet together.
But in the next second, before the eldest lady could speak, all the maids and guards poured onto the stone bridge.
