Chapter 174: Finding the Jade Plaque
She sat there, biting her lip and watching Princess Danyang maintain order, and watching those young ladies write pieces of paper and throw them in, smiled coldly, and turned back to her maid named Yulan and commanded a few words.
Yulan listened, looked out the door, and quickly picked up the empty plate on the table, hurried out the door, and caught up with the pale green figure in front.
The one wearing the pale green dress was Lin Xiaozhu. Seeing that everyone had started to vote just now, she signaled to Princess Danyang from afar and withdrew. There were still two more snacks to be served, so she had to go and see how the preparations were going. Break hands with the county lord of Wanhua, you have to be very careful. The cake just now was the main product of the dim sum shop, and she had no choice but to do it herself. Now that it's done, it's natural to go back and concentrate on making the remaining two dim sum dishes so that nothing goes wrong.
Since the place where the female guest is located is a water pavilion, it is naturally set up on the water, like a lake-center pavilion in a garden, and connected to the land is a winding step path. The trail is not wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Lin Xiaozhu held on to the railing and was going down the steps when she heard footsteps coming in her direction behind her. Before she could give way, a huge force on her left shoulder slammed into her, and she swooped down on the right railing with a twist. Luckily, the railing was still relatively high, up to her chest, so it stopped her. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the belt was suddenly lifted up, and with a light foot, an inverted onion climbed over the railing and threw herself straight into the water. Fortunately, she has practiced martial arts, has quick reactions, and is calm-headed, and at the moment when her body lost control and jumped over the railing, one hand grabbed the barricade in time. The other hand turned around and grabbed the clothes of the person who carried her belt, and at the same time let out a loud exclamation: "Ahh Why are you pushing me? ”
Whatever the case may be, someone wants to push her into the water, that's for sure. She understands water and won't drown, and with so many people present, she won't be drowned. So at this moment, catching the person who hurt her and screaming to attract people's attention is the most important thing.
Tui Lin Xiaozhu is naturally the maid Yulan just now. She is a person who knows martial arts. And the martial arts are quite strong. Thinking about pushing a weak little girl into the water is not a difficult thing, and when everyone is busy voting, it is natural to do it without knowing it. When everyone found Lin Xiaozhu falling into the water. She had already retreated to the side of the county lord of Wanhua. didn't expect to catch geese all year round, but was pecked by geese. This Lin Xiaozhu actually grabbed her shirt at a critical moment. And at this moment, she let out a shrill scream, which attracted everyone's attention and confirmed her crime!
"Ah, everyone, come and help." Fortunately, she was still a little anxious, and she couldn't get out, even if she asked Lin Xiaozhu to let go at this time. Everyone has also arrested her. had to show an anxious expression, but pretended to reach out to stop Lin Xiaozhu. The way she came up. Regardless of whether Lin Xiaozhu heard the sound just now or not, she couldn't admit that she pushed Lin Xiaozhu into the water.
"Don't panic, hold steady." A man's voice sounded, and then the azure figure flashed to their side, and stretched out his hand to pull Lin Xiaozhu, who was about to enter the water, up in time.
Lin Xiaozhu didn't care how others saved her, she just grabbed the man's clothes in her hands. As soon as their feet hit the ground, they raised their heads to look at each other. Seeing that the other party was indeed the maid brought by the county lord of Wanhua, she shifted her gaze to the man in the azure robe. When she saw who it was, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, it was Shen Ziyi who saved her.
"You...... You jade brand ......" Shen Ziyi muttered in his mouth, his eyes staring tightly at Lin Xiaozhu's chest, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
Lin Xiaozhu was suddenly startled, reached out and touched his chest, but his fingers touched something hard and smooth. It turned out that when she was doing a handstand just now, the jade plate that had been hidden in her clothes slipped outside. She quickly stuffed the jade plaque into her neck and shook her head gently at Shen Ziyi.
Yulan was thinking about how to exonerate herself, and at the same time broke Lin Xiaozhu's fingers and pulled her shirt out of her hand, but she didn't notice the subtle actions of these two people.
With Lin Xiaozhu's exclamation, the movement outside had already alarmed the people in the water pavilion and the dragon boat. Yuan Tianye also came to Lin Xiaozhu's side at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhu, what's the matter?" ”
Yulan was waiting for this question, and before Yuan Tianye's words fell, she said loudly: "Just now I walked behind this girl, and I saw her slip under her feet, so I threw myself into the water. I quickly reached out and pulled her, but I didn't want to be carried away by her weight, and I almost fell into the water with her. Luckily, Tsubashi was nearby, which saved both of our lives. ”
After speaking, he straightened his clothes and saluted Shen Ziyi respectfully: "The slave maid is Yulan, the maid of the county lord of Wanhua, and Yulan is here to thank Yigongzi for his great kindness." ”
As soon as she finished saying this, the county lord Wanhua, who had been paying attention to this side, came over and scolded: "Yulan, you girl, why did you ask for a piece of dim sum, but you made so many troubles?" What does it matter to you that people fall into other people's wrestling? Now it's not good to save people, and she was wrongfully pushed into the water, I see how you can argue! ”
The hostility of the county lord Wanhua towards Lin Xiaozhu had been obvious since that day in Shen Yuan. Today is in such a state again, although the number of votes has not yet been counted, but the cream cake has obviously more surprises than the rose fruit honey cake. So after hearing Lin Xiaozhu's cry just now, Yuan Tianye knew what was going on. However, at this time, in the face of the backlash of the Wanhua County Lord, it is not easy to distinguish between right and wrong.
And Yuan Tianye had no intention of distinguishing right from wrong with them.
He no longer asked Lin Xiaozhu, nor did he look at Lord Wanhua, but just arched his hand to Shen Ziyi and said, "Young Master Yi, thank you for saving Xiaozhu just now." ”
Shen Ziyi hurriedly replied and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, everyone is playing in Shen Garden, if there is an incident in the water, I can't escape the blame." Just now, I just happened to come over to get the voting bucket, and it happened to be the meeting, so I really didn't deserve Doctor Yuan's thanks. ”
Yuan Tianye smiled and raised his voice: "However, Yi Gongzi, in order to avoid such an incident of falling into the water again, I suggest that you raise the railing a little higher." You see, this railing is only up to my waist, and if it slips, it can easily fall into the water. ”
After saying that, he walked over to the railing and gestured.
As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly realized, and their eyes fell back on Lin Xiaozhu, and finally fell on Yulan.
Yuan Tianye is tall, with a height of 1.8 meters; And Lin Xiaozhu is only about 1.66 meters. Although the railing only reached Yuan Tianye's waist, it had already reached Lin Xiaozhu's chest. To the railing on her chest, no matter how slippery she was, she couldn't turn over and throw herself into the water. So, thinking of Lin Xiaozhu's initial exclamation, there is only one answer, that is, it was indeed Yulan who pushed Lin Xiaozhu into the water just now. Otherwise, a little cook in Langzhong, no matter how bold she is, she will not dare to wronged the people of Duanwangfu at will.
Thinking like this, everyone looked at the county lord of Wanhua differently.
I can also think about it, why did the county lord of Wanhua knock Lin Xiaozhu into the lake-isn't it because the dim sum can't compare to others, and he is annoyed and angry? A dignified county lord, it stands to reason that she shouldn't compete with Yuan Tianye. If you want to compete, then let's compare, even if you lose, it's not a big deal. After all, the county lord of a country, who would dare to make fun of her about this? Instead, he will praise her for her generosity. But she didn't want her to be so narrow-minded, and before the result came out, she wanted the life of the other party's cook. And in front of everyone, in Shen Ziyi's garden, in front of Yuan Tianye, it's too stupid to do this, right? Yuan Tianye is still curing the illness of the emperor and King Duan, and if she does this, isn't she afraid that others will scold her for being unfilial?
Feeling everyone's gaze, Lord Wanhua trembled with anger. If it weren't for the fact that Yulan had martial arts, and just pushed Lin Xiaozhu into the water and made her make a fool of herself in front of everyone, she wouldn't have done it. didn't expect that such an easy thing, Yulan went wrong.
And now, Yuan Tianye is just giving Shen Ziyi an opinion, not saying anything about her. If she answers, won't she become a weak heart? But if she wants to say nothing and do nothing, swallow this breath raw, and let everyone look at her like that, she can't stand it. I had to raise my hand and give Yulan a slap, and said, "You stinky slave, look at the good things you have done, have you aroused the suspicion of others?" If you're going to be so nosy again, don't blame me for punishing you. After speaking, he turned around and went to the water pavilion.
As if he hadn't heard Lord Wanhua's words, Yuan Tianye turned his head to Lin Xiaozhu and asked with concern, "How is it?" Where is it hurting? Let's go, I'll help you to sit down over there. ”
"No, I'm fine." Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile, followed Yuan Tianye, left the crowd, and walked under the banyan tree.
Walking out of the bridge, Lin Xiaozhu turned his head to Yuan Tianye and said, "Childe, I'm fine." You'd better go back to the boat, and I'll see how the other two snacks are doing." ”
Yuan Tianye saw that Lin Xiaozhu was walking normally, and his face was as usual. Knowing that she was not the kind of woman who was timid and afraid, the fright just now didn't seem to affect anything, so she put her mind at ease, nodded, and turned around and walked towards the dragon boat. According to the style of the prince of the family, he should have sent Yuan Shi to inquire about the incident just now, instead of coming over in person. At this time, since it has been dealt with, and then follow Lin Xiaozhu to the place where he makes dim sum, it should be discussed. He didn't care about himself, but he didn't want Lin Xiaozhu to be pointed at.
