The skirt that the maid picked for Su Jiu was carmine, embroidered with gold thread and covered with intricate honeysuckle flowers, which was particularly splendid and bright.

Su Jiu sat in front of the dresser, and the three thousand green silk were pulled into a beautiful and graceful bun.

She endured the discomfort and asked the maid to clean her rouge, and protested softly: "Xie Rongjing, I don't want to dress up so ostentatious. ”

Xie Rongjing stood behind her with his hands in his hands.

Danfeng's eyes crossed the cold, and he smiled gently, "Xiaojiu is only fifteen years old, and he is dressed brightly, what kind of swagger is it?" You don't have to worry about being gossiped about, no one dares to say a word about you with me. ”

With that, he leaned over and picked out a ruby tassel from the jewelry box.

He personally put on the Su wine hairpin, put his big palm on the girl's shoulders, and looked at the beauty in the rhombic glass, "Xiaojiu was too plain in the past, but it's a pity that this face is gone." Colors such as carmine can really bring out the beauty of the wine. ”

In the mirror, the girl's lips are red and her teeth are white, and her appearance after applying powder is extremely charming.

A smile is extremely moving.

Su Jiu glanced at it and avoided his gaze.

Xiao Tingchen is not here, she is dressed up so well, it doesn't make any sense.

It's just a vase for people to see......

Xie Rongjing interlocked his fingers with her, and led her towards the outside of the mansion, "Your brother loves beast fighting lackeys the most, and he will enter the Colosseum later, let's sit with your brother and Zhou Baojin, okay?" ”

Su Jiu didn't say anything.

In the past few days with Xie Rongjing, she has figured out this man's temperament.

Probably because Xiao Tingchen brought too much shadow to him, so he was full of possessiveness towards her and would arrange everything for her.

Whether that's what she likes or not......

The Colosseum was built on the Royal Pear Garden.

Because there are a lot of dangerous beasts, it is strictly separated from the theater.

The Colosseum is a circular stepped building, and hundreds of people sit in the audience, ranging from wealthy merchants to high-ranking officials and nobles.

Su Jiu was led by Xie Rongjing to Lu Cunwei's seat, and Zhou Baojin hurriedly got up, "Su Su! ”

After shouting, when he saw Xie Rongjing, he couldn't help but be a little scared.

The current Xie Rongjing is high and powerful, and he is no longer the smuggler who stole chickens and dogs in Jinling City in the past.

She saw him and Su Su interlocking his fingers, and his big palm wrapped around Su Su's thin waist, as if he wanted to imprison Su Su firmly by his side.

"Susu ......"

Her voice was small, and she called tentatively.

Su Jiu sat down with Xie Rongjing, and reluctantly smiled at her, "You also came to see the fighting beast?" ”

"yes." Zhou Baojin nodded and handed her an orange, "Daqi issued an order prohibiting beast fighting ten years ago, and now it is open for the first time in ten years, so I will definitely come to see the excitement." I've heard that tickets to the Colosseum are all sold out, and it's hard to find them in the market. ”

In the past, fighting beasts was mostly the pleasure of wealthy families, and they spent huge sums of money to make bets, stirring up the miasma of Chang'an.

At that time, Yuan Xiao was busy sending troops to conquer other countries, and for the stability of his family and country, he issued an edict prohibiting beast fighting, which once made those wealthy families very angry.

Now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, it has opened up again......

Su Jiu lacked interest in fighting beasts.

She took Zhou Baojin's orange and was about to peel it, but it was taken away by Xie Rongjing.

He said lightly: "This thing is cold, and it is not good to eat." ”

Su Jiu lowered his eyelashes and didn't make a sound.

She has become accustomed to this man's domineering, and in the past few days, he has to ask her how many cups of tea she consumes every day.

Zhou Baojin was a little embarrassed, quietly pulled Lu Cunwei's sleeve, and pointed at Xie Rongjing and Su Jiu.

Lu Cunwei was also a little displeased, protected Zhou Baojin, and said tentatively: "Master Xie, I came to visit and wanted to see my sister in the past few days, but I was stopped by your little servant...... Although the Lu Guogong Mansion expelled his sister from the house, it was just a father's expedient measure, is it inappropriate for you to be so domineering? ”

Su Jiu was stunned.

She didn't expect her brother to come to visit......

She looked at Xie Rongjing, the man was still as pale as a spring dawn, but Danfeng's eyes were cold, "She is the person the emperor rewarded me." Give it to me, it's mine. She doesn't need to have contact with the Lu family, as long as I accompany her, it's enough. ”

Lu Cun was slightly annoyed, "Xie Rongjing, that's not what I said at the beginning!" ”

"How's that?" Xie Rongjing chuckled, "Do you know how bad Xiaojiu was killed by Xiao Tingchen?!" Do you know what happened to the past generations after the death of the country?! Your Lu family can't protect Xiaojiu at all, only by my side can she get the best care! ”

As the man spoke, Danfeng's eyes gradually turned scarlet.

The big palm that wrapped around Su Jiu's thin waist kept tightening, as if he wanted to imprint this girl deeply into his bones and blood.

Lu Cun was slightly furious, "Xie Rongjing-"

Before he could say anything, a chuckle like a silver bell suddenly sounded from behind.

Su Jiu looked back, and Xue Chengcheng was surrounded by a group of noble women.

Xue Chengcheng covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled brightly, "Yo, the queen also came to see the beast fight?" ”

A noble lady next to her reminded with a smile: "Sister Xue, what kind of queen is Su Jiu?" The emperor didn't send her to a place like the barracks for the sake of the Lu Guogong's mansion, which was full of loyal martyrs......"

"That's it!" Another noble girl pinched the embroidered handkerchief, and her raised eyebrows were full of ridicule, "It's just that the Hou Ye rares her and gets her into the Hou Ye's mansion." It's just a matter of playing, and Hou Ye may not marry her. If you marry, you have to marry a young lady who is the right person, such as Sister Xue......"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Zhou Baojin got up suddenly.

The little beauty who was round and jade was so angry that she trembled lightly, and her eyes were full of grievances for Su Jiu.

"Hmph, we didn't talk about you, what are you angry about?" The nobles were proud, "She knows who we are talking about." This kind of grand gathering among the powerful is also embarrassed to come to participate in it with a shy face...... If we were her, we would have been so ashamed that we would have hid in the Hou Ye's Mansion and would not dare to go out! ”

"You-"

Zhou Baojin was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Lu Cunwei protected her behind him and sneered: "If you dare to say that my sister is not, I will fight with you!" It's just to climb the Xue family, do you really think you can walk sideways in Chang'an City?! ”

Several noble ladies glanced at each other, pushed each other and did not dare to answer.

Xue Xiwen didn't care, and her playful gaze fell on Su Jiu.

In the past, the queen mother who was high on the top, with a pale face, was held in the arms of Marquis Xie, like a servant who was dedicated to the powerful to relieve their boredom.

She also has today......

Xue Xiwen held the gold silk hand stove, as if unintentionally mentioned: "Miss Su came by coincidence, you should have come to this beast fight show today." ”

She smiled and looked inside the Colosseum.

In the iron cage in the field, there are lions, tigers and other wild beasts, and their roars are coming and going, because they have been hungry for three days, and their bloody mouths are very scary.

She smiled, "Because the person who is going to perform the beast fight for us today is Xiao Tingchen." ”
