Chapter 21: Sui Yuan (2)
Behind the rockery are two young women whispering.
One said, "All you have to do is sprinkle this powder on her clothes, a little bit is enough." ”
Another said, "Understood." ”
Then there was a sound of asking, and a woman in a light purple dress hurried away from behind the rockery.
Zheng Cunfang exclaimed: "Sure enough, there is a ......"
Chen Muzhi covered her mouth and didn't let her make a sound.
After listening to the rockery, the woman from before sneered in a low voice: "Everyone wants to climb the high branches...... You also want to marry into the county king's mansion, hehe. ”
In a moment, another snow-blue woman dressed as a servant woman came out from behind the rockery and disappeared to the other side.
Chen Muzhi let go of his hand and explained to Zheng Cunfang: "I'm afraid that you have alarmed them. ”
Zheng Cunfang was so shocked that it took a long time to come to his senses: "Muzhi, how do you know that there are people behind the rockery, I have been prick up my ears for a long time, and I haven't heard any movement." ”
Chen Muzhi's memories of the earlier ones still have a considerable part of them at this moment, so Chen Muzhi's words and deeds are not very abrupt today.
Chen Muzhi smiled: "I didn't tell you, my ear power is stronger than ordinary people." Over the years, he has practiced martial arts with his father, and his ability to listen to voices has also improved. ”
"So what are the two men plotting? Do you really hear it? Zheng Cunfang asked.
Chen Muzhi said: "Naturally, I heard it really, saying that it was what kind of medicine powder was going to be sprinkled on someone's clothes." ”
"Sprinkle the powder?" Zheng Cunfang pondered for a moment, but still didn't understand the point, and said, "Are you going to poison anyone?" ”
"A little sprinkling on your clothes can poison people, what kind of fairy medicine powder is this, I haven't heard of it. And you want to poison people and sprinkle them on your clothes, aren't you afraid of causing others to suffer? ”
Zheng Cunfang thought for a while: "It also makes sense." However, even if it is not so serious and sneaky as poisoning people, it must be harmful. ”
"Yes, it's okay to hurt people."
Chen Muzhi thought back to the last sentence again, and suddenly felt that he had found the direction of a breakthrough.
"Cunfang, have you heard that a girl from any family is discussing marriage with the Yujun Palace?"
Zheng Cunfang suddenly twisted up, turned around and leaned back on the railing, and said, "Muzhi, have you ever seen a big fish in the sea?" ”
This sentence was asked without a head and no brain, Chen Muzhi suddenly became suspicious, and then saw that Zheng Cunfang's face was already flushed, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed: "Could it be you?" ”
Zheng Cunfang was a little angry and turned around: "You must have heard about it a long time ago, so you deliberately came to ask me." ”
"God pity me, Sister Cunfang. I've been floating at sea for a few months, and I don't know what happened in the capital. ”
Chen Muzhi pulled Zheng Cunfang back, and said with a straight face: "It was you who was the one who was the victim just now!" ”
"Ahh Zheng Cunfang was taken aback, "What are you doing to me?" ”
"What do you say about climbing high branches, I want to marry into the county king's mansion. I'm going to sprinkle the powder on you. ”
Zheng Cunfang was furious when he heard it: "Phew! My grandmother was the lord of the county, my grandfather was a scholar of the six books, my father was a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and my mother was ordered to add to his body, but he was the fifth son of the Yujun Palace, where would it become a high branch? Are these people blinded by birds? ”
That's it.
The king of the county is hereditary, and he only has the eldest son, and the fifth son can be dressed and eaten even if he inherits the ancestral shade, but he is not the Zheng family.
Chen Muzhi said: "Presumably, which girl is also greedy for this Wei Wulang, chewing these tongue roots that are not on the table behind her back." Cunfang, don't worry, we all saw the figure in the light purple shirt just now, and when we sat down for a while, we kept an eye on it, and when they played tricks, we caught all the stolen goods. ”
The two girls agreed, got up and left the water pavilion, and walked towards the garden in front of them.
It can really be said that when you come, you are innocent, and when you go, you are ready to go.
*
In the garden in front, the female dependents of each family gossip is also about the same, although the end of February is the germination of all things, the spring breeze is not very warm, the princess of Yujun accompanied a few older princesses to visit the garden, and then beckoned the ladies to enter the flower hall.
Chen Muzhi followed behind Wang, but his eyes kept staring at Zheng Cunfang's side, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment, for fear that in the blink of an eye, he would let the woman in light purple clothes sprinkle the medicine powder.
It is also strange to say that although it was bustling when he entered the table, no one deliberately approached Zheng Cunfang.
The flower hall of Suiyuan is larger than the main hall of ordinary people, and there are twelve tables full, which shows the pomp and circumstance of the 20th birthday of the county lord of Lanxin.
Wang took Chen Muzhi and Wang Hualan to sit at the second table on the west side, and Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Cunfang were at the third table on the east side, with a wide aisle in the middle.
Although he was not at the same table as Zheng Cunfang, Chen Muzhi was still very satisfied with such a position, his sight was uncovered, not only could he see Zheng Cunfang, but he could also see the entire flower hall clearly.
All the ladies and attendants entered the flower hall, but there were about a dozen maids dressed in light purple.
The maids are not as simple as the ladies and ladies, and although they are from various provinces, there is not much difference in looking at them. Chen Muzhi carefully identified it several times, but he couldn't determine which maid left from behind the rockery.
As for the woman who left on her back feet and wore a snow-green servant dress, she was not in the flower hall at all.
Chen Muzhi carefully looked at the entire flower hall, and when he met Zheng Cunfang's eyes, Zheng Cunfang also shook his head slightly.
It seems that Zheng Cunfang did not find the woman behind the rockery.
Seeing that Zheng Cunfang was also so vigilant, Chen Muzhi was half relieved. At least, Zheng Cunfang will not let a suspicious person in light purple clothes approach him, and it will be even more difficult for the other party to attack.
Just as he was thinking, the Duchess of Dingguo, who was at the same table, spoke.
"Mrs. Chen, your wooden branch is almost fourteen, right?"
Chen Muzhi hurriedly put up a well-behaved and lovely smile, withdrew his eyes, and looked at the Duchess of Dingguo.
Wang said with a smile: "There are still thirty days to go on the fourth birthday of the fourth month of April. ”
Duchess Dingguo also smiled: "The children grow up so fast, the last time I saw her, she was only so ......tall" Duchess Dingguo gestured, although it was very inaccurate, but it was also interesting, and said, "In a blink of an eye, they have become big girls." Like An Guogong's eyebrows, what a good-looking girl. ”
Immediately, there was a female family member next to her who pulled the Duchess of Dingguo.
Duchess Dingguo noticed that she had lost her words and smiled awkwardly.
Chen Muzhi had seen the Duchess of Dingguo and knew that she was kind, although he was gloomy when he mentioned his father, but he couldn't embarrass others, so he said, "Mrs. Xie praises." My father is brave and martial, and Mu Zhi not only wants to look like his father, but also to be a frank man like his father! ”
The table full of people was immediately amused by her.
"You're a little girl, how can you be a man?"
Chen Muzhi grinned and changed his words: "Then be a frank woman." ”
"Good boy, it's a pleaser."
The Duchess of Dingguo praised it, and the people at the table immediately echoed it. Only Wang Hualan's face was gloomy, and jealousy made her unrecognizable, and she even forgot to pretend to be virtuous and virtuous.
"Here, Lord Lanxin has come out."
I don't know who shouted, and everyone in the flower hall looked in the direction of the entrance in unison.
