Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Chrysanthemum Banquet and the Mayfly Can Shake the Big Tree (I)

The woman in red still looked arrogant, she was not dressed like a Jingshi person, her hair was all coiled out, she was dressed in a red power suit, and a red plum was embroidered on her sleeves.

She grimaced and snorted coldly, "The name of our valley master, how can you mention it." ”

Seeing that this person was so unreasonable, Zimi couldn't wait to step forward from the side and fight with her, but she didn't know how to do martial arts, so she had to say loudly on the side, "Our young lady is not worthy of mentioning you, which green onion are you?" ”

Liluo took a closer look at her dress, the last time she was in Ah Li's room, she saw this kind of red plum decoration, which was very similar to this, she stopped Zi Mi and asked the person, "The valley master you are talking about is Lang Qingfeng, is it Sister Ah Li who asked you to come?" ”

When the woman heard this, she seemed to be a little flustered, but her face still stinked and she refused to speak again.

Seeing the woman's expression, Liluo had already guessed a rough idea in her heart, and she couldn't help laughing, "Let me guess, you are a certain maid of Ah Li's sister, maybe you were ordered by Ah Li's sister to come to Beijing to procure, or do other things, and suddenly heard a rumor in Beijing that the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple fell in love with the national teacher Lang Qingfeng, so you have been squatting at the gate of Jiangfu for the past two days, wanting to see, who is the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple?" ”

Riro watched her reaction, becoming more and more sure of her guesses, and she then asked, "Am I right?" ”

When the woman heard this, her eyes were panicked and surprised, as if someone had guessed what was on her mind.

Liluo continued, "I guess Sister Ah Li, I shouldn't know, you like Lang Qingfeng." After hearing Ah Li's name, Liluo saw that this person was already panicked, but he was still forcibly keeping his composure.

Liluo sighed slightly, and said indifferently, "Women all over the world like handsome and talented men, but not everyone likes Lang Qingfeng, you go back, I won't expose you, but you have to understand a truth, whether a man likes a woman or not, has nothing to do with other women, if you have a grudge, you should only resent Lang Qingfeng alone, hate why he doesn't look at you more, instead of venting your boring emotions on other women." ”

After finishing speaking, Liluo took Zimi and Yuzhu and their group away, and after leaving, Zimi said with some indignation, "Miss, did you just let her go?" ”

"What if you don't let it go? This alone cannot be convicted, we have limited energy now, we have to quickly find out who is behind the Jingshi's back, now it seems that these rumors are beyond my expectations, I am worried that someone is going to deal with Shen Fu. Pear fell back.

Yuzhu and Zimi nodded hurriedly when they heard this.

Late at night, Jiangfu

Riraku was constantly drawing on the paper in her study, and she was used to thinking in this way.

My brother has continued to go back to Suiyang Academy to continue studying, and next year's spring season will be an important battle for him, and Liu Ziyu has not come to her recently.

If it weren't for the rumors about her and Shen Xitong that have been raging everywhere in the past few days, she still feels that it has been a peaceful day in Beijing recently.

Outside the small courtyard, a long flute sound blew, it was Ning Yi, Liluo said in surprise, listening to his flute sound, it seemed that he was caring about himself.

Liluo opened the window, she didn't find Ning Yi's figure, but the sound of the flute soaked into her ears, as if it was comforting her.

Looking at the banana leaves blooming outside the window, Liluo's mood was a little complicated, but she was reviewing herself, whether it was any kindness to herself by others, she had to keep it in mind.

A little show of favor can move her for a long time, if she tears off this person's mask, will it be different from what she imagined.

Liluo was very afraid, very afraid that Ning Yi's face was hiding countless masks.

She closed the window again and continued to ponder the question, who is most likely to be spreading rumors?

Her first suspicion was the subordinates of the Shen Mansion, and there were very few people who knew the news that Xitong and the Hu Bandit were in love, but there must be many people among the subordinates of the Shen Mansion who knew about it, and if these subordinates spread the news, it would be extremely difficult to be discovered.

Therefore, when the pear fell out of the Shen Mansion, he also specially explained to Shen Chuling and asked him to interrogate the people in Shen Xitong's courtyard.

However, as a high-ranking gate in the Jingshi, the Shen Mansion must also be extremely strict with the control and requirements of the subordinates, and it is not good for him to interfere too much, Liluo thought to himself, if it were not for the subordinates of the Shen Mansion, who would have this possibility to spread rumors?

Could it be Hu Fei? Hu Fei's performance today surprised her, he chose to leave Shen Xitong to avoid greater contradictions, and he also admitted his identity very frankly.

If the rumors were spread by him, he didn't have to do this, but could take the opportunity to blackmail and make the people of the Shen Mansion agree to let him marry Shen Xitong.

Could that be a classmate of Xitong Fangcao Pavilion?

This year, Shen Xitong went to Fangcao Pavilion very rarely, and there were not many people who interacted with her, except for Qin Shiyu is Ouyang Qingluo, she had contact with these two women, and their conduct and morality were all good.

The Ouyang family and the Qin family also had a good relationship with the Shen Mansion, and logically speaking, they would not do the same.

Liluo thought about it, but still had no thoughts, she suddenly thought of Ning Yi, he had a complete intelligence network, and he must be able to find out more things.

Xiao Sheng gradually stopped, Liluo thought about it, forget it, she had already said so many decisive words to him that day, if she let herself be cheeky and go to him again, she really couldn't do it.

The pear fell on the bed and turned around, she suddenly thought of the chrysanthemum meeting, I heard that the chrysanthemum party, there are many noble ladies of the Beijing division will go to participate, why not take this opportunity to explore everyone's tone, maybe there is something to discover.

Xiao Sheng was gone, the man was gone, Liluo walked out of bed softly, stared out the window blankly, and only after she didn't hear any sound did she go back to bed and fall into a deep sleep.

The next day, Shen Mansion.

When Shen Xitong heard that Liluo was going to take her to the Chrysanthemum Festival, she refused with a face full of refusal.

Although she was not as emotional as yesterday, this incident was also a great frustration for her, and she even felt that she had no face to stay in Jingshi, so she refused to agree to participate in anything.

Thinking about the noble girls who she looked down on before, now she must be sarcastic behind her face, she has the best face, and she can't stand others treating her like this.

Liluo had no choice but to persuade Shen Xitong to tell her that the rumors were premeditated, and the people behind them recognized the Shen family, otherwise it would be impossible to make the Beijing master known in one night's work, and some people were even spreading her own rumors, saying that Jiang Liluo, the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, loved the national teacher Lang Qingfeng, and was also entangled with this person, and had twice gone to Yanzhi Mountain.

After Shen Xitong heard Liluo's words, she was a little dumbfounded, others passed on the matter of her and Hu Fei, which was a bit of a basis, but Liluo knew it, she really didn't have a good impression of Lang Qingfeng.

Seeing Shen Xitong's eyes rolling, Liluo continued to say coquettishly, "Think about it, not long after I came to Jingshi, I was splashed with this kind of stigma, and even the subordinates of Beauty Valley followed me in private, and said some unreasonable things to me, sister, don't you stand up for me?" You don't want to find out who is spreading our rumors? ”

After a few days of Liluo's lobbying, Shen Xitong finally agreed to go to the chrysanthemum banquet on the first day of September, and another reason why she agreed was that she wanted to be angry with the Wu family in the second room.

This Wu family, after hearing that she had an accident, came to her grandmother several times to sow discord, making her mother depressed for the past few days.

Since Wu didn't want her to go, she wanted to go.

After the two reached a consensus, soon, the first day of the ninth month arrived.

Liluo came to Shen Mansion early in the morning, waiting for Shen Xitong to go out together, she was wearing a blue emerald cigarette shirt today, wearing a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil, and her white and tender face was slightly flushed with a pair of pear vortices.

Shen Xitong is wearing a garnet-red embroidered Luo shirt today, and a pearl white lake crepe skirt, after experiencing this incident, she has lost some of her previous innocence, and her eyebrows and eyes have converged a lot, but she looks more bright.

Today's chrysanthemum banquet is set up in the Grace Garden of the Lu Guogong Mansion in the suburbs of Beijing, in this season, there are many chrysanthemums with special styles planted in the Grace Garden, and I heard that there is also a cosmos exhibition from the Western Regions.

The formal banquet of the chrysanthemum banquet is around mid-afternoon, but the young ladies and sons of the various provinces who received the invitation have already arrived at the Graceland one after another, and when Liluo and Shen Xitong arrived, there were already a lot of people in the Graceland one after another.

As soon as I walked in the door, I heard the laughter between men and women, and there was a voice among them, Shen Xitong was extremely familiar, it was the eldest son of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Hibiscus.

He has always liked this kind of social occasion the most, and of course he is very happy at this time.

Liluo looked over there curiously, and saw several young women surrounding Ouyang Muhibiscus, as if they were asking him for poetry.

Ouyang Muhibiscus was also enjoying it at the moment, and he was very patient to nominate some young ladies on their hand fans.

Seeing Ouyang Hibiscus's comical appearance, Shen Xitong rolled her eyes, she was about to walk quietly from the side, but was suddenly stopped by Ouyang Hibiscus, as if he was afraid that others would not know, he shouted loudly, "Shen Xitong!" ”

As soon as this voice came out, everyone else heard the name Shen Xitong, and immediately turned their faces to look at it, and their inquiring eyes followed, and a few even rolled their eyes disdainfully.

Shen Xitong didn't get angry, pulled Liluo, and hurriedly walked forward.

As he walked, Ouyang Hibiscus was still behind and shouted loudly, "Xitong, Liluo, wait for me, wait for me." ”

Liluo could only shake his head and think, this person is too eyeless.

After Ouyang Muhibiscus approached, Shen Xitong stared at him tightly with a pair of big eyes, and said with some indignation, "Did you do it on purpose?" I don't think I'm well-known enough. ”

Ouyang Muhibiscus thought for a while, and then realized what Shen Xitong said, he was used to being a casual person, and comforted with a look of indifference, "Oh, it's nothing, the rumors will pass after a while, besides, even if your affairs make the city full of storms, no one dares to marry you, I, Ouyang Muhibiscus, will definitely marry you." After speaking, he also raised his eyebrows.

After Shen Xitong heard this, she hurriedly jumped to a foot away from him, eager to pretend that she didn't know this person, she scolded, "You must not, even if no one marries me, Shen Xitong, I don't want you to marry." Her expression was unstingy with disgust.

Ouyang Mu Hibiscus raised his ebony fan, brought to life a handsome and dignified appearance, and continued to raise his eyebrows and said, "You don't have eyes and don't know gold and jade, this son is very demanding." ”

"It's not that I've been rejected by Ruyan." Shen Xitong said mercilessly.

"You!" Ouyang Muhibiscus was in a hurry.

Liluo looked at the two of them like this, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Ouyang, where is Sister Qingluo?" Why didn't she come with you? ”

"Don't mention her, it's a shame," Ouyang Muhibiscus shook his head and said, "She, she fought with someone in Fangcao Pavilion and was imprisoned by my father." ”

Fight? Riluo was a little surprised, and she asked, "Although Sister Qingluo is young, she has always had a calm personality, why do you fight with others?" ”

"She, what kind of heroine is she, she fights for others, and when someone else's maid says a few words to her, she can't help it."

Riluo was naturally a little curious, and she asked, "Who is Sister Qingluo fighting for?" ”

"Who else, Qin Shiyu's brother Qin Yebei." Ouyang Muhibiscus said.

Seeing Liluo's still curious eyes, Ouyang Muhibiscus became interested, so he said, "The Han family saw that the Qin family was out of prison this time, so they wanted to say that the two families had concluded an in-law and asked Qin to marry Han Shuyao, the daughter of Mrs. Han, but this Han Shuyao didn't agree to live or die, and went on a hunger strike to protest, which completely made Qin Ye sad and went away, so he didn't go to Zhejiang to dig a dam." ”

Ouyang Muhibiscus continued, "My sister, I wrote a poem in Fangcao Pavilion to satirize Han Shuyao, saying that she daydreams all day long, Ning Yu is already engaged to the prince, and she is still there pretending to be, Han Shuyao's maid is angry when she listens to it, and the maids of the two families quarreled, and then there was a simple fight, and she, a stinky girl, also went to help." ”

Liluo and Xitong were very surprised when they heard it, Ouyang Muhibiscus smiled and shook the fan with his hand and said, "To say, this girl also deserves it, a young lady in the hall actually did it herself." ”

Looking at Brother Qingluo with such a big heart, Liluo was also a little speechless.

Ouyang Mujian said to Shen Xitong after speaking, "Stinky girl, let's go together." ”

Shen Xitong made a grimace, pulled Liluo and walked forward, no matter how Ouyang Muhibiscus shouted behind him, he didn't look back.

After walking for a while, Liluo looked at Shen Xitong with some concern, and Shen Xitong chuckled and replied, "Don't worry, Liluo, I'm fine." ”

Riro smiled at Xitong, it seems that this cousin is not as weak as she imagined.

If the chrysanthemums here are grown on both sides of the road, one by one, the cosmos in front is a little different, it grows all over the yard, all kinds of colors, so brilliant that people can't take their eyes off.

There were some voices in front of them, and they seemed to be some urbane readers, who were discussing what kind of calligraphy they were gathering around, and a group of people were amazed at the calligraphy posted on the wall.

Originally, Shen Xitong liked to watch the excitement the most, but at this time he was a little hesitant, this is the only way to enter the main hall, if he can't get over, it will only make people laugh at it even more.

Liluo pulled Shen Xitong's hand and comforted, "Cousin, let's go together." ”

Shen Xitong nodded, the walls around this courtyard were already full of poems, and Shen Xitong didn't know why, he pulled Liluo and looked at it together.

Since she suffered that emotional wound, she seems to have become interested in these poems, and if she reads some sad words, she can often start some grievances.

Liluo looked at Xitong, and felt a little sad in his heart, at this time, Ning Yu of Ningguo Mansion also walked in from the door, and was very surprised to see Liluo behind, and hurriedly pulled Liluo aside, and after Xitong saw it, he signaled that he didn't care about her.

Ning Yu asked softly, "What's the matter with you and my second brother, I wanted to ask you for a long time, but when I saw Shen Xitong's matter, it was not easy to mention it." ”

Hearing this name, Riro lowered her head and said, "This matter is not clear for a while. ”

Ning Yu saw that she didn't want to say, sighed and said, "Liluo, there are some things I don't know how to explain to you for a while, in short, my second brother's personality has always been very cheerful, but since the eldest brother had an accident, he has become a little depressed, I believe that no matter what he does, it must be related to this matter, you must not blame him for this." ”

Thinking of some of the haze in his heart these days, Liluo didn't know where to open for a while.

At this time, Shen Xitong has been staring at a poem on the wall, "A heavy mountain, two heavy mountains, the mountains are far away, the sky is high, the smoke and water are cold, the acacia maple leaves, the chrysanthemums are blooming, the chrysanthemums are remnant, the wild geese are flying high, and the wind and the moon are idle." After she saw it, she couldn't take her eyes off for a long time, as if something had been touched in her heart, and some nameless emotions crept into her heart.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." A man's jade-like voice sounded in her ears.

Shen Xitong turned around and looked up, the man in front of him was wearing a dark plain shirt, with a sky blue gentry belt tied around his waist, he had a pair of clear and bright eyes, tall and elegant, and looked calm, it was Lin Chongyi of Suiyang Academy.

Shen Xitong just thought of Hu Fei, and was sad, her nose was a little red, she turned her face to the side, and said in a cold voice, "What a broken poem, I don't like it." After speaking, he left directly, leaving Lin Chongyi alone and watching her for a long time.
