Chapter 173: Immortal Crane Pavilion

Zhou Xi looked up and down at Zhiwan and counted his eyes, and had some guesses in his heart, after all, the Su family and the Zhao family made such a big disturbance before, Zhao Ruer failed to recognize the princess of the county, and the one who came today was dressed plainly, but the temperament was leisurely and elegant, although the makeup was plain, it was difficult to hide the luxury, far from being comparable to ordinary ladies, and besides, the princess of the county lived in the Su family, it made no sense for the Su Xue sisters to come out to play and hang her at home, wouldn't they lose their hospitality?

Su Xue looked at her expression and knew that she had guessed, but she was not so sure, and said with a smile, "My cousin has the little prince and the main county to take care of, how can I easily go out for a long time?" ”

Zhou Xi nodded, it is true, her sister-in-law went out for half a day, and she was worried about her little nephew, and she couldn't wait to go out to meet guests.

There are seventeen or eighteen ladies who participated in the Lake Poetry Club today, and the youngest is Su Rou, usually she doesn't have a chance to come, but she doesn't know if it's late, so she will accompany her to play.

After everyone greeted each other and sat down, Su Xue instructed the maid, "Go and bring the food in the house and invite the girls to taste it." ”

Zhiwan raised his eyebrows lightly, a little puzzled, Su Yi smiled and said, "This should also be unique to Yongzhou, in fact, it is also recent." ”

Su Xue glanced at Su Yi and said to Zhiwan, "There are one or two specialty dim sum in every house, so we will make an appointment to bring dim sum over when we participate in the poetry meeting of the lake, so that everyone can taste it, so that they can compete with each other." ”

Zhiwan's eyes widened, the corners of his mouth arced, no wonder he pulled a few maids from Poria in the morning and asked them to make ice cream.

Knowing that the tea was served lightly in the evening, I saw seven or eight maids, holding the tray in an orderly manner, and there were exquisite porcelain plates in the big red lacquered wooden tray, all of which were double, and one was placed in front of everyone's ladies. The other was placed in front of the young master of the family.

The most special thing is the Su family's pastry plate, which is very large, and it is placed on the table, which has a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Zhou Xi couldn't help but ask. "What's on that plate, so big?"

Su Rou couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "That thing is delicious, don't look at the big plate, in fact, I can eat it all by myself without eating it at all." ”

The corners of Zhou Xi's mouth opened wide when he heard this, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he glanced at the plate again, if there were pastries in it, there would be at least thirty or forty pieces. I usually feel panicked when I eat three or four pieces, can I eat it?

Just guessing, four more maids came over there, carrying a big wooden box, and they looked very struggling. Look at the style of clothes, it is owned by the Su family.

Zhou Xi turned his head to look at Su Xue, "Isn't the one in the box also eating?" ”

Su Xue covered her mouth and chuckled, nodded, Zhou Xi lowered her forehead, and said with a smile, "It's just the weight prepared by the Su family." I'll just compare the rest, I'll say first, if I can't finish eating ...... in a while. ”

Before she could finish speaking, Su Rou rushed to say, "Don't worry, I'll help you eat." ”

Su Yu slapped Su Rou on the head. "The people who are here today are all the ladies and the young masters of the family, and there are noble ladies above, are you afraid that others will not know that you love to eat?"

Su Rou pouted and rubbed her forehead aggrievedly, "Grandmother said." It's a blessing to be able to eat, what she doesn't like the most is those delicate and weak girls, she can't eat two bites of a meal, and she drinks all the medicine, I like this to my grandmother, you are a few years older than me, but you can't eat me, you have to reflect on it. ”

Su Yi was defeated, and Zhou Xi nodded continuously, "Su Rou is right, it is a blessing to be able to eat, but as soon as I eat too much, I am easy to gain weight, unlike you, I can't get fat no matter how I eat." ”

For Zhou Xi's words, Su Xue and Su Yi nodded again and again, they also love to eat, but when they eat too much, they are afraid of getting fat, and they will not be beautiful in clothes, so they can't help but look at Su Rou, Su Rou raised her back and patted her small chest, "Born, no way, you can be envious." ”

Su Rou also knew how hated she was, so she ran away after speaking, Su Yu and Zhou Xi chased after her and beat her, Su Rou was the one who was tired, twisting her waist, grimacing, and muttering, "Innate, you can't blame me." ”

Not to mention Su Xue, even when Zhiwan heard this, she couldn't wait to punch her twice to get angry, but her delicate little face, with a shallow pear nest when she smiled, was extremely cute, how did she do it?

However, Su Yi and Zhou Xi were not pitiful, chasing and running, Su Rou was afraid that her face would be ravaged, so she dodged left and right, who wanted to accidentally step on her skirt and plant forward.

Frightened, she screamed again and again, and at that time, Zhiwan was looking at An Tianran not far away, only to take a look, then she heard the screams, turned her head to look, and saw a tall figure flashing forward, with a long arm, she hugged Su Rou and turned around half a circle.

The man is wearing a brocade robe, his face is clear, his eyebrows are long, his nose is narrow, his lips are straight, his eyes are like jade, there is a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, and his black hair is fixed with a jasper hairpin, which is of excellent texture, as clear and green as washed by snow, and his skin is as white as ice and snow, and it is like a fine mutton fat jade, which is amazing.

The voice was as mellow as wine, "Is the girl okay?" ”

Su Rou had never seen such a handsome person, to be precise, she had never seen such a beautiful man so closely, and she was still held in her arms, and she immediately blushed and was full of shame.

Breaking free from the man's arms, he ran to Zhiwan and stood behind Zhiwan, twisting his handkerchief without speaking, and even forgot to say thank you.

The man didn't expect Su Rou to run away so recklessly, holding it in his arms and thinking that he was fifteen or sixteen years old, who wanted to run away only to find that he was petite, his face was a little immature, his body had not fully grown, and he was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he was sure that he would definitely be a big beauty in the future.

The man hooked his lips and smiled, his smile was gentle and handsome, like the warm sun in winter, which made the room brilliant and gorgeous in an instant.

As soon as the man showed his jade fan, Li Sixun and Su Ang came in with a smile behind him, Su Rou stomped his feet when he saw it, and the eldest brother was outside, and he didn't even know how to save her, he was so angry!

* The young master came in and landed, the pavilion was very large, and the red carpet in the middle was four or five meters wide, but you could still see the faces of the young masters, and none of them were ugly.

Soon, the man's identity spread, the man was noble, but he didn't expect it to be a county king, and his father was the king. He passed away three years ago, and he inherited the throne and was named King of Chengjun.

King Chengjun looks handsome and is not young. is twenty years old, but he has not married a wife, mentioning this, Zhou Xi feels pitiful for him.

Princess Cheng set a family for him, but the girl was too young, and finally waited for the girl to marry and return to the house, who wanted to marry the king but fell ill, and the family affair was repeatedly delayed and dragged on for a month. In the end, he died.

The father passed away, and the son had to keep filial piety for three years, who would have thought that his fiancΓ©e would die of illness the next year, and the filial piety period just came out last month, and the twentieth birthday passed in half a month.

Zhou Xi finished speaking. whispered, "I heard that Princess Cheng is not in good health, she has been bedridden for more than half a year, and I don't know which day it will ...... This will be ...... three more years of filial piety. ”

Zhou Xi's voice became smaller and quieter, and finally she hummed like a mosquito, although what she said was reasonable, it was too rebellious. If it reaches the ears of King Chengjun, it can be convicted, and after saying that, she will be afraid, so she has always been good friends with the sisters of the Su family, and she is not afraid of complaints.

Zhiwan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, she had seen three county kings. It seemed that everyone had a story, and he couldn't help but look at him twice, but he saw Su Ang patting him on the shoulder, which was very good for the two brothers, and smiled. "Don't think that you saved my little sister, I'll help you intercede, one yard to one yard."

Li Sixun looked at Su Rou, he knew the rules of the Su family, whether the descendants were married to the official family or not, and Su Rou was still young, he was righteous and brave, and he was the king of the county, so everyone didn't dare to talk too much.

King Chengjun took a sip of tea, hooked his lips and smiled lightly, "Since I promised you, I will naturally do what I say." ”

Su Ang poured Li Sixun a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Don't let him, he's not young, and it's time to marry." ”

Li Sixun smiled when he heard this, "If Princess Cheng knew that you were so dedicated to King Chengjun's life, she would definitely appreciate you." ”

Su Ang nodded again and again, "I have long heard that King Cheng loved to treasure ink treasures during his lifetime, and Lin Daozi's "Crane Picture" was treasured by him in the previous dynasty. ”

King Chengjun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was about to speak, but Su Ang stopped him and said, "I am me, and my cousin is my cousin, but I can't mix them up, what she loves is the silver ticket." ”

Zhiwan took a sip of tea, and squirted it out directly, glaring at Su Ang secretly, although what you said was the truth, there was no need to introduce her like this, right?

Zhiwan's table was opposite Su Ang's table, as soon as she sprayed tea, Su Ang and King Chengjun looked over, just when they saw Zhiwan wiping the corners of his mouth with an orchid handkerchief, his eyebrows were light, with a slight hint of anger, with a smile of disgust, and King Chengjun's eyes flashed with a touch of amazement.

In the middle of the pavilion, the maids were busy and happy, helping their masters to pick out food.

Su Rou's maid didn't take anything else to eat, and came back with three plates of beef jerky, Su Rou threw them into her mouth one by one, occasionally glancing at King Chengjun sitting opposite, with a red face and a thick neck.

It's not the first time Li Sixun has eaten beef jerky, when he likes this kind of food, he looked at Su Ang, "I heard that the prefect sent ten cows to Su's house, and there must be a lot of beef jerky, send me a cow." ”

Su Ang led the wine, ate the beef jerky, heard Li Sixun's words, a sip of wine squirted out, fortunately Li Sixun had already prepared, the jade fan was unfurled, blocked the wine, and looked at him reproachfully, but Su Ang rolled his eyes, "Your lion's big mouth is too big to avoid opening, this beef jerky, you don't know how much my grandfather and grandmother like it, I still want to be able to share a cow, just what you eat now, or my sisters saved it." ”

Li Sixun's face was a little sneering, "Isn't the Su family able to make it?" Yesterday, I fell and injured three cows in my village, didn't they all send them to the house? ”

Su Ang glared at Li Sixun, "It's only ten catties, is there more." ”

"Twenty."

"Fifteen."

"Good brother!"

King Chengjun sat there, glanced at it alone, and then glanced into the distance, and a guard stepped forward, and King Chengjun ordered, "Send three wounded cows to Su's house." ”

The implication is that he also wants fifteen catties of beef jerky, but he is the king of the county, so he is embarrassed to open his mouth.

Su Ang's face was full of black lines, his father only gave him a total of 100 catties, he ate day and night, there was not much left, in fact, he wanted to say, when the Su family's Chunfeng Building opened in a few days, the beef jerky would be supplied in limited quantities, so there was no need to be so anxious.

When everyone was almost finished, Yinbao saw that the big box was opened, and suddenly the cool air in the pavilion was overwhelming, but Yinbao shouted happily, "Ice cream!" ”

Su Ang was slightly stunned, glanced over, and saw that the ice cubes were full of ice cream in porcelain bowls, and remembered the coldness. Su Ang said, "Bring me a bowl to cool off." ”

King Chengjun wondered when he saw it, "That thing seems to be more popular than beef jerky?" ”

Yinbao brought three bowls over, and Li Sixun couldn't wait to eat them. It turned out that there was no spoon, Yinbao hurried to get it, and King Chengjun saw that Li Sixun didn't even care about etiquette, so he looked at the bowl in front of him again, took the spoon and ate it, and praised it again and again.

Xiao Yu'er sat there, her mouth pursed high, she had quarreled with the Su family twice before, she lost face, and she was angry and said that she would not eat the Su family's things. At this time, seeing that everyone was eating happily, they were full of praise, and they felt depressed, and they were even more panicked, so they swept their eyes. I can't wait to poke Zhiwan out of a few holes, just change her clothes for a while, she knows that Su Xue will use the sound of the piano to suppress her today, it is all Zhiwan who picks it up, and she hates Zhiwan.

I was thinking that I couldn't get along with food, I was too stupid. I was about to ask the maid to go over and get it, but I saw that Poria took the last one in her hand, took the spoon and ate it, and she almost fainted when she was angry.

There are a lot of ice cream on the shipyard, and Poria is lazy to run, but Xiao Yuer doesn't eat it. This thing has a cold temperament, and there is only one copy left, and it is not suitable for anyone, so I asked Zhiwan and waited for her to agree. only dare to eat.

In fact, Poria doesn't know, there are a lot of ladies and young masters of the family are staring at the ice cream, this thing is really delicious, but the hand has not finished eating, embarrassed to take it, is eating it violently, okay, there is only a little left after eating, but it was taken away by the maid, this thing is from the Su Mansion, of course the maid of the Su family can eat it, but it's a pity, there are so many people, and the food doesn't know the taste......

The prefect's wife was also there, nodding again and again while eating, and the maid who was guarding the side smiled and said, "Madam, the old man didn't get a few Shanglian by chance, and he meditated hard for two days, but he couldn't come out, so you might as well take advantage of them to think about it while they are tasting the food, and it is also good to solve the master's doubts, so that the master can concentrate on the office." ”

The prefect's wife nodded her head, "You still have a heart, no matter who comes out, there is a reward." ”

The maid was overjoyed, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, and walked downstairs.

Zhiwan saw Su Rou pouting, and knew that the show had begun, and sure enough, the maid told the origin of the couplet, I heard that it was a pair that the prefect couldn't match, and the talents were all excited to try, and everyone was full of interest, although they had some talents, but they were far from the talents.

The crisp voice of the warbler in the empty valley came, "The first link, the upper link: sit in the north and face the south to eat watermelon, and throw the skin to the east." ”

After the maid finished reading, the prefect's wife smiled first, "Yes, eating a watermelon to relieve the heat is a good thing, but our lord himself is embarrassed." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a lady smiled and said, "The prefect is worthy of being born in the list, but I am afraid that he will not forget the poetry when he eats and drinks tea, which is like our master, eating watermelon, looking at watermelon seeds, holding books, I am afraid that I will plant watermelon in my head." ”

As soon as these words came out, the second floor burst into laughter.

However, this pair is really not simple, and the speed at which those young masters eat ice cream has dropped significantly, and their brows are slightly twisted.

Zhiwan was eating leisurely, and Su Rou saw that she didn't mean to think at all, so she asked, "Cousin, will you be right?" ”

"When a blind cat touches a dead mouse, it will."

β€œβ€¦β€¦γ€‚β€

Xiao Yu'er changed places with others, and sat on Zhiwan's right hand, and when she heard her words, she immediately said loudly, "Don't be ashamed, so many talented people here won't, will you?" ”

Su Xue looked at her a few times, this person's brain is broken, no one said whether it will be good or not, the prefect over there smiled and said, "Which lady will show you, you might as well try it." ”

Xiao Yu'er pointed at Zhiwan with a calm face, Zhiwan was speechless, Su Rou stood up and retorted to her, "My cousin said that when the blind cat touches a dead mouse, she will, if she doesn't have ears, don't talk nonsense." ”

Su Xue and Su Yi blindfolded their hands with their hands, wishing they could even cover their ears, when her four sisters were stupid, they were really not ordinary stupid, they just knew this, everyone knew about it, and they were embarrassed to lose their cousin's face, okay?!

What Xiao Yu'er wants is Su Rou's trick to discredit Zhiwan, but Su Rou doesn't feel anything, the prefect won't, they won't be normal.

Xiao Yu'er stood up calmly, "Xu I heard it wrong, I only heard the words, I didn't expect that there was a blind cat in front of me who touched a dead mouse, I don't know when she met a dead mouse?" ”

Hearing this, except for the Su family, everyone present burst out laughing, and Su Rou stomped her feet angrily, eager to pick up the food on the table and call it in her face.

Zhiwan glanced at Xiao Yu'er lightly. He put down the spoon in his hand and licked the ice cream on his lips, which were suddenly like washed cherries, tempting. Zhang Hejian exhaled like an orchid, "After thinking about it, read the left pass, and turn the page to the right." ”

After Zhiwan finished speaking, Su Rou was proud, her back was straight, as if she was right, and her eyes were shining and dazzling, "Being bitten by a dead mouse, my cousin was inspired." Isn't that right? ”

The laughter in the pavilion was even worse than before, Xiao Yu'er was angry for a while before she reacted, Su Rou scolded her for being a dead mouse, and couldn't help but stomp her feet angrily and gritted her teeth.

The maid glanced upstairs. The prefect's wife nodded, and the maid brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to let Zhiwan write down, and there was a brocade box on top of the pen and ink, and the box should be a reward.

Zhiwan wrote a couplet, and Poria opened the reward to see that it was a high-quality white hosta, with a crystal clear texture. The prefect's wife used it as a reward or for the ladies of the extraordinary family, if the texture is too poor, it will only end up being laughed at.

With the reward, everyone's energy is even stronger, and the maid said. "Sishui River is the first, Sishi Xia is the second, Mr. lives in Jiangxia, who is the first and who is the second?"

Xiao Yuer listened. began to look at Su Rou provocatively again, "Will she still be there?" ”

Su Rouqi's cheeks hurt, this person is really annoying, she doesn't speak and no one treats her as a mute, "Are you a dead mouse?" If you are, my cousin will! ”

Xiao Yu'er gasped and said, "If she wants to, I am!" ”

Su Rou swallowed, her mouth was the Su family's well-known sharp teeth, but when she met a stupid person, she couldn't resist it, and looked at Zhiwan with some bitterness, "Cousin? ”

Zhiwan leaned into Su Rou's ear and muttered a few words, Su Rou's eyes lit up, and she snorted heavily at Xiao Yu'er, "You are sitting down, in the future, don't call her Miss Xiao, call her a dead mouse, the next link is: Sanjiao Confucianism is in front, Sancai is in the back, the kid is a Confucian, how dare you be in front, how dare you be in the back?" ”

Su Rou's voice fell, and there was a long burst of applause in the pavilion, which lasted for a long time, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhiwan's body, exclaiming, appreciating, and bowing to the wind.

And Xiao Yu'er, her face was blue and purple in turn, and her silver teeth were almost crushed, seeing everyone laughing and silent, she was even more embarrassed, she couldn't wait to throw her sleeves and leave, looking at Li Sixun pitifully, "Cousin, she bullies people!" ”

Li Sixun rubbed his temples, his cousin, who is looking for a bad stubble, and he bumped into the hands of the princess of the county, can he clean up the obedient person who can clean up the unstoppable king of the county, will it be simple?

It's just that he didn't expect the princess of the county to be so talented, and he studied hard for ten years in vain, but he couldn't compare to a woman.

It's not that Li Sixun looks down on women, but he is ashamed, he knows that he is younger than him, and he has to learn female popularity, and he has to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as that outstanding medical skills, it will take time, in this way, he will also overpower these talents who are immersed in books, what is this not a slap in the face?

King Chengjun looked at Zhiwan, and saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and was praised like this, and there was no smugness, so he couldn't help but raise his handsome eyebrows, and the jade fan in his hand was lightly tapped on the table, and the corners of his mouth arced into a pleasant smile.

Li Sixun glanced at it, just caught the smile, was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Let you pick the princess of the county, don't pick her." ”

King Chengjun hooked his lips and smiled, "She can't be the princess of the county?" ”

It's not that you can't do it, but people already are, "After all, you can't choose her, otherwise you're asking for trouble." ”

The more Li Sixun said this, the more curious he became, "Could it be that she has an arrogant temperament and is indispensable?" ”

Su Ang looked at King Chengjun, looked at Zhiwan again, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "My cousin is gentle like water, violent like fire, ordinary people can't control it, you have to stay away, let alone my cousin, even the maid next to her, not a soft character." ”

Su Ang saw that Zhiwan was combing her hair in a bun, so he didn't dare to reveal her identity, and King Chengjun looked at Zhiwan twice, Zhiwan was eating beef jerky, and he found that there was an inconvenient gaze shooting from the opposite side, and he couldn't help frowning, pretending to be vicious and glaring back, but it provoked the opposite King of Chengjun to smile comfortably, and the jade fan shook lightly, "What an interesting girl!" ”
