Chapter 108: Missing
Chen Yanhong, who had been nesting in the house for two days, was dressed up by Mrs. Chen on the night of this hunting ground night banquet, and then forcibly pulled out, no matter what, for people like them, the marriage of their children is not only a major event in their children's lives, but also closely related to the fate of the family, so for Mrs. Chen, it is impossible for a miscalculation to make her fall.
Besides, there must be a lot of nobles attending tonight's night banquet, and whoever doesn't show up will suffer for himself.
The moon had risen in the sky, and outside the tent, a man-high bonfire was lit almost every ten steps, and the bright light of the fire illuminated the hunting ground as if it were daylight, and all kinds of game were bubbling with oil on several barbecue grills, and the mouth-watering fragrance slammed into everyone's nostrils, and immediately hooked the worms in people's stomachs.
Dozens of servants came in and out of the tent like a market, and the golden glass bowls, carved agate plates, as well as the attractively colored fresh melons and fruits, and the mellow and intoxicating old wine, were moved out of the carriage that had just stopped outside the tent one by one, and then sent to the tent like a flowing water. The richly dressed girls and sons either frolicked together, or chatted with the elders, and there were several clansmen who had a hearty personality and were familiar with the piano art, and came with Zheng Guogong, holding a horsehair piano in their hands, unfolding a loud and rich singing voice, sitting by the bonfire and playing and singing one song after another, which attracted many aristocratic women who couldn't help but come out of the tent and look at each other frequently.
Tonight's excitement is simply dazzling, and the busy figure of the next person is also overwhelming.
After Chen Yanhong came to the hunting ground, she waited from sunset to the moonrise, but she couldn't see Shangguan Yu's figure, and she didn't even look at Tang Lu'er's shadow, the unhappiness in her heart became heavier and heavier, and she turned several corners before she finally found out that the two people seemed to have ridden out in the afternoon, and Concubine Anyuan was just asking someone to find Prince Anyuan.
Just when Chen Yanhong couldn't sit still and was about to go out to take a look outside the tent by herself, she suddenly saw a subordinate of Anyuan's palace enter the tent, walked to Concubine Anyuan's side and said something softly, only to see Concubine Anyuan nodded slightly, gave an order, and then the subordinate got married.
Chen Yanhong's heart moved, she made an excuse at random, and got up and walked out, Chen Yanyun, who was not far from her, was talking softly with a girl next to her, and after Chen Yanhong left, she also used an excuse to go out for a walk, and then left the position, there are many people in the tent, and there are always people who go in and out to serve tea and water, so the departure of these two girls did not attract the attention of the side.
Chen Yanhong didn't think that as soon as she went out, she actually saw the picture of Shangguan Yu helping Tang Lu'er get off the horse.
Although the place where the two people stopped was still some distance away from the tent, and although the light was already a little faint after the bonfire on this side shone on that side, Chen Yanhong recognized the two people at a glance.
A few days ago, in the hall of Mrs. Chen, when Mrs. Chen led all the ladies and ladies to testify against Tang Lu'er, the young and handsome prince was like this to protect the girl. The bonfire next to it burst into the sound of burning firewood, the hideous tongue of fire led the wind upward, and the red firelight illuminated Chen Yanhong's delicate face very brightly.
As soon as Tang Lu'er got off the horse, two entourages ran in front of him and said to Shangguan Yu: "Lord, the concubine has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Shangguan Yu nodded, threw the horsewhip to an entourage, and then instructed Zhao Yun to lead Tang Lu'er back to his tent, find a maid to bring a set of clean clothes for her to change, and then went forward.
After watching Shangguan Yu leave, Tang Lu'er looked at the bright and brilliant castle-like tents over there, as well as the extraordinarily dressed nobles, and then looked up at the stars and moon above and the gloomy grass under his feet, and for some reason, he sighed in his heart.
As soon as the young prince walked into the range illuminated by the bonfire, he was surrounded by everyone, and then they all walked into the tent together, even if they didn't know King Anyuan, as long as they could keep up, they all went in to join in the fun, which made the outside of the tent a lot more deserted all of a sudden, Chen Yanhong stood at the door of the tent, watching Shangguan Yu come intently.
waited until the other party walked to her side, she opened her mouth in a hurry, but before the words came out, Shangguan Yu walked over without squinting, she was stunned, her eyes were slightly red, she lowered her face and bit her lip, and glanced at Tang Lu'er hatefully, and then turned around and followed.
……
"This, Miss Tang, you wait first, I'll find you Xing'er, she should bring clean clothes." After receiving the order to take Tang Lu'er to Shangguan Yu's tent, Zhao Yun turned around a few times, but he didn't see the figures of the maids, so he came back with a red face and said a word to Tang Lu'er.
Tang Lu'er looked at the busy scene outside, and then looked at the clothes that had been dried on her body, and was about to say no, but after Zhao Yun dropped these words, she turned around and walked away, Tang Lu'er was stunned, so she followed him, but after she stretched her waist, she suddenly remembered Meng Sanlai, and she didn't know if he was still here at the moment, but she forgot to ask just now.
After waiting for a while, but Zhao Yun didn't come back, Tang Lu'er walked a few steps near the tent at random, wanting to find out from the people who came and went, to see if there was anyone familiar and asked her to inquire about Meng San.
It's just that I just slipped around, and asked a few familiar people, either I didn't see Meng San, or I wasn't very impatient with her, so I just glanced at her and walked away, Tang Lu'er was a little sneering, and suddenly a servant woman of about fifty came over next to her and asked her: "But Miss Tang?" ”
"You are?" Tang Lu'er was stunned, there were a lot of people who came over tonight, and when they looked at the past, they were all face-to-face, and she was obviously dressed as a maid, everyone was busy, only she looked like she was lounging, so she slipped down and called her to do things, and there were many people who scolded her for being lazy, but no one came forward to talk.
"Meng Gongzi asked me to come over and call the girl, saying that I had something to say to the girl." When the servant woman heard that she had found the right person, she smiled innocently.
"Oh, where is he?" Tang Lu'er was stunned for a moment, then looked around, and said, "Why didn't he come by himself?" ”
"It's over there, this will be talking to a master, and Meng Gongzi asked the girl to go over to find him." As she spoke, the servant woman pointed to the side.
Tang Lu'er followed her finger and looked at the other end of the house, where several carriages were parked that were responsible for transporting melons and fruits, sprinkler utensils, tables and chairs from the other end of the house. At the moment, there are still people unloading from the carriage, but they are about to be unloaded, and the last unloaded is scattered, and I don't know what they are.
After Tang Lu'er walked over with the servant, she didn't look at Meng San's figure, and the servant woman was also a little surprised: "Yo, I was still here just now, why did I disappear in a blink of an eye, or where did I go around?" ”
"Forget it, thank you, Auntie, I'll look elsewhere." Tang Lu'er didn't care, thinking in her heart that the people in the Meng San clan would come over, and she didn't know what it was, but she wanted him to go back immediately, so should she be ready to follow, after thinking for a while, her heart was a little unsettled, and she didn't know what kind of situation she would face and what the future would be.
"Girl, can you help me bring these jars to the car, and I'll hand them to you from below." Tang Lu'er was about to walk away, but the servant woman was busy and stopped her, and said with a smile: "I have a little problem with my waist, it's not easy to get in and out of the car, as soon as those girls and things are unloaded, they are all lazy and run away, I don't know where to find them." ”
Tang Lu'er smiled, and jumped on the green canopy lane: "Okay, you hand it to me, and I'll help you load it." ”
"What a kind girl." The servant woman smiled and narrowed her eyes, then picked up a jar and handed it to Tang Lu'er and said, "The tired girl is in the innermost place, and she will have to load things outside for a while." ”
Tang Lu'er responded with a smile, hugged the empty jar, and bent down to walk into the car, but when she put down the jar, straightened her waist slightly, and was about to turn around, a ghostly hand suddenly poked in from the window at the front of the carriage, and lightning-like a little towards her. Tang Lu'er's brain was confused, her body was numb, and as soon as her mouth opened, a handkerchief covered her nose, and she only felt a burst of extremely exciting taste poured into her nasal cavity, and then she lost consciousness.
After Zhao Yun looked for Xing'er, he was about to lead Xing'er over, but Zhao Li called him, so he only explained a few words to Xing'er, saying that it was ordered by the prince, and then went to Zhao Li. Xing'er was a little reluctant to take out her own clothes, but when she walked to Shangguan Yu's tent and shouted twice, she didn't see anyone answering, she frowned, confessed, and then went in to take a look, and found that there was no one inside, and came out to find a nearby guard to ask, only to know that the girl had just left the tent and went to the other side of the bonfire, Xing'er pouted and went back to put her clothes away, and did not look for Tang Lu'er, let alone tell Zhao Yun about it.
In the middle of the moon, Meng San walked out of one of the tents used by the subordinates, looked at the lively and noisy scene outside, smiled, stood there and watched for a while, and then walked towards the bonfire. At this time, Concubine An Yuan, Wang Yeguo, Grandpa Hou, and the girl and others also came out, and the strings of the horsehair qin accompanied by the men's loud singing voice, stirring up the atmosphere of this hunting ground to the hottest.
Many subordinates stood in the distance and watched, Meng San turned around, and never saw Tang Lu'er's figure, so he inquired to the side, but even asked several people, but no one knew. He got into the circle of people and glanced at Shangguan Yu, and after a while, Shangguan Yu got up and walked to him, and before he could speak, Meng San asked, "Where is Lu'er?" Why didn't I look at that girl everywhere? ”
Shangguan Yu was stunned: "Hasn't she been with you all the time?" Just after saying this, as soon as he saw Meng San's expression, and without waiting for Meng San to answer, Shangguan Yu immediately called Zhao Yun over.
Then Xing'er called over, and then he strode to his tent, and called the guards who were guarding outside to ask him.
Holding on to the last hope, he threw off the thick felt curtain and walked into his tent, but inside, except for the pile of sketches on the table, there was no Tang Lu'er.
