Chapter 24: Sui Yuan (5)
Suddenly, the guests at the West Third Table screamed and got up and scattered.
The girl didn't realize that she was crawling with insects and ants, and when she looked down, she was frightened, screaming and stomping her feet and shaking her skirt.
But there are so many insects and ants, and some of them have already climbed to the belt, and they can't shake at all when they see them running towards their chests. "Helpβ" cried out the girl in despair.
Another woman next to her shouted, "Take off your clothes quickly, quickly." β
But in front of a room full of guests, asking a girl to strip her clothes in public, even if it is to save her life, is a great humiliation.
Where did the girl dare to take off her clothes, she only jumped desperately and cried in place, which was very miserable.
There were a few girls among the guests, who were familiar with this girl, and mustered up the courage to come forward to save them, but they were dragged by their parents, just afraid that their children would also provoke this insect and ant, and make a fool of themselves in public.
The house was in a panic, only to hear a coquettish shout, and a dark red shadow attacked the girl.
"It's Miss Chen!" Someone exclaimed.
That's right, it's Chen Muzhi.
Seeing the girl screaming helplessly, Chen Muzhi didn't have time to think about it, so he casually tore off a dark red silk rope that tied the curtain beside him, and waved it out like a horsewhip.
She is accustomed to the horsewhip, and although this rope is not as flexible as the horsewhip, it will also be used.
When the girl saw the silk rope coming, she subconsciously turned around to hide. Chen Muzhi shouted: "Don't move!" β
I saw the silk rope attacking, wandering around on the girl's clothes, and everywhere I went, it was like a wind sweeping, and insects and ants fell one after another.
Everyone was dazzled, and with the waving of the silk rope in Chen Muzhi's hand, the sound of exclamation in the house came and went.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Muzhi's wrist flicked, and the silk rope flew back "obediently", and it obediently wound back to Chen Muzhi's right arm like a living thing.
The girl was frightened, looked down at herself, but found that a sky-blue dress was not damaged at all, the skirt was still rippling slightly, and the black pressure under her feet was full of the corpses of insects and ants.
She felt nauseous, quickly jumped a few steps away, approached Chen Muzhi's side, and said tremblingly, "Thank you." β
But Chen Muzhi didn't seem to hear it, and stared at her chest.
The girl's frightened face turned pale again, and she trembled and raised her voice: "Thank you......"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Muzhi suddenly stretched out his hand......
"Ahh The girl exclaimed.
Chen Muzhi smiled, and stretched his finger to her: "Look at this head, I'm afraid it's not an ant king, and I didn't sweep it down." β
Only then did the girl react, it turned out that Chen Muzhi was catching insects.
A middle-aged woman came over, patted her chest, and said with a smile: "I'm really frightened, thank you Miss Chen for coming to the rescue." Qing'er, don't you know yet, the one who saved you is the second lady of the Anguo family, who is famous for her good skills. β
The girl saluted again, and was supported by Chen Muzhi: "Sister Qing'er, don't be polite, and let people sweep away the insects and ants in this place, let's continue to drink." β
As he spoke, the county lord of Lanxin came over with his head held high.
She looked at Chen Muzhi, stared curiously at the silk rope wrapped around her arm, and made sure that it was indeed the curtain tie in the flower hall, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
However, the county lord of Lanxin didn't speak, took two steps forward, walked around the ant corpse slowly, and admired the various ways of death of the insects and ants, and then waved his hand to call someone to come and clean up.
The county lord of Lanxin walked back to Chen Muzhi slowly, squinted at her, and said, "Not only can you splash, but you are also very good at dancing?" β
Chen Muzhi put on a smiling face: "The first trick I used to treat my cousin was called 'Smelling the Chicken and Dancing', the county lord, you said, am I very good at dancing?" β
Everyone's curious eyes once again looked at Wang Hualan.
Wang Hualan obviously hated it so much that her teeth were itchy, but she couldn't show it, so she had to put on an extraordinarily dignified appearance, and gently covered her mouth and smiled, which was considered to be cooperative.
The servants came up to clean and sprinkle medicine, and all the guests returned to their seats, but the people at the third table in the west could not sit down.
The county lord of Lanxin was originally a face that owed money, and when he saw that some people were grinding, he was even more unhappy in his heart, and said with a cold face: "If you feel that I can't sit down in Suiyuan, you can bring your congratulatory gift to say goodbye." β
Although the girl named Qing'er was extremely uncomfortable in her heart, the matter was caused by her, and she was already extremely guilty, so she reached out and pulled the sleeve of the middle-aged woman next to her: "Mother, let's take the table." β
The middle-aged woman looked embarrassed.
Chen Muzhi had just taken off the silk rope on his arm, and before he returned to the table, his heart moved when he saw this scene.
She turned around and said to the main table: "Princess Jun, this sister Qing'er was scared just now, I can repel insects and ants, can I sit with Sister Qing'er?" β
Na Qing'er suddenly cast a grateful gaze.
On the other side, Zheng Cunfang also stood up: "Princess Jun, I also want to sit with Sister Qing'er and Sister Muzhi." β
The princess looked at the two, a smile couldn't help but appear on her face, and her eyes were full of appreciation.
"Princess Jun, please allow me to go and sit with Sister Qing'er."
"Princess ...... County"
The girls who had just been dragged by the elders stood up in unison.
This is really overjoying, Princess Yujun smiled so much that her eyes became crescents: "Cheng, Cheng!" Let's not be formal today, just let the children sit together and have fun. β
So after a lot of busyness, the steward immediately brought the maids over to rearrange the seats, and changed the rest of the ladies at the third table to other tables. The group of teenage girls happily entered the third table in the west.
The group of girls led by Chen Muzhi not only rounded the field of the county lord of Lanxin, but also solved the awkwardness in the hearts of those noble ladies. It's extraordinarily satisfying.
Princess Yujun looked at the third table in the west, the girls had already begun to talk and laugh, and they were quite happy in their hearts, and turned to Lord Lanxin and said, "Look at these girls, they are all like you, they are bold." β
The county lord of Lanxin actually smiled very rarely, although the smile was very shallow and the harvest was extremely fast, but everyone saw it, and the house was full of surprise for a while.
"Does my mother dislike me and want to drive me to their table?"
Princess Yujun immediately pulled the hand of the county lord of Lanxin, and said with a deliberate tiger face: "That's not possible, today is your birthday, and my mother will definitely want you to accompany you, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." β
The old princess laughed: "Look at this mother and daughter, showing off in front of me, I'm angry that I didn't give birth to a caring girl." β
Everyone took advantage of the situation and burst out laughing.
For a while, laughter and laughter resumed in the flower hall, and the maids held their daughters red, shuttling back and forth between the banquets, and the ladies were also flying, heroic and not letting men.
At the third table in the west, the young girls are getting to know each other.
Chen Muzhi shines today, and naturally he is already the focus of everyone, so there is no need to introduce it. The rest were also from noble backgrounds.
The round-faced and gentle one is Miao Wenlan, the granddaughter of the Miao scholar, the petite one is Lu Miaohong, the second lady of the Dingguo family, the outgoing and lively one is Qiu Lin, the second miss of the Hou family of Laiyuan, and the one who doesn't like to talk is Yan Xiuhua, the daughter of General Jinwu......
The Qing'er who recruited insects and ants is Liu Qingyan, the youngest daughter of the Liu family of Yuanma Shaoqing.
Among these young girls, Zheng Cunfang is of course Chen Muzhi's best partner, and some of the rest have met but are not familiar with each other, and the Liu family is a Beijing official who was promoted a few years ago, so Chen Muzhi doesn't know him at all.
