Chapter 72: The Threat Sent by Kumquat
Hearing the name kumquat, Liu Piaoyi had an impression in his mind. also knows what the relationship between Liu Piaoyi and Ling Xinan and Kumquat in the past is.
She thought for a moment before saying to Hua Ying, "Let her come to see me." ”
Hua Ying brought Kumquat into the flower hall of Zixuan Pavilion.
Kumquat had a paintstick in her hand, and instead of sitting, she waited for Miss Liu to come out of the inner room.
Jian Xiu didn't leave, and came out of the inner room with Liu Piaoyi, and even wanted to hear what this Ling Xinan's companion was talking about when he came to the mansion.
Seeing Liu Piaoyi, Kumquat saluted respectfully as before and called her, "Sister Yi'er." ”
But she didn't see the familiarity with her and the warm smile on Miss Liu's face.
Liu Piaoyi looked at the woman in front of her very seriously, in her mind, Kumquat had always been dressed like this. Dressed in very ordinary plain clothes, the top of his head is just tied in a simple bun, without any accessories. is thin and thin, if you don't know that she is a girl, you may always think she is a kid at first sight.
To be able to say that kumquat is her breast, it is simply nothing, unlike the development of girls.
Four years ago, when I first saw Kumquat, Liu Piaoyu thought so, and Kumquat was still wearing men's clothes at that time. At that time, she was more like a boy, but later it became clear that she was a woman.
Liu Piaoyi didn't hesitate to see her, but also because there was a secret, and this secret also had memories of Liu Piaoyi at this time.
"You're looking for me?" Liu Piaoyi asked suspiciously.
Jian Xiu sat down on the chair, with no intention of leaving. Kumquat glanced at him, and saw that Miss Liu didn't let anyone else leave, so she replied directly.
"This is what the third young master asked Kumquat to give to Sister Ji'er." She handed the cartridge over.
Jian Xiu raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "What is it?" ”
Liu Piaoyi glanced at Jian Xiu lightly, and then took the painting tube, opened it, took out the painting inside, and spread it on the table.
Jian Xiu came over, and when he saw the person on the painting, his face instantly turned cold.
The look of Liu Piaoyi on the painting completely made Ling Xinan paint a god, just like a living thing. If it's not too familiar, how can it be so similar?
A sour smell of acetate welled up in my heart.
In this regard, he Zhang Jianxiu is indeed inferior to Ling Xinan.
His eyes glanced at Ji'er, wanting to see what kind of expression she was, and thought that she didn't feel it, but he didn't want to see Ji'er staring at her in a daze, as if she was confused.
"It's just a painting." Jian Xiu said lightly.
Miss Liu came back to her senses at this time, and suddenly turned her head sideways to Jian Xiudao, "You go out first, I have something to say to Kumquat." ”
Jian Xiu smiled faintly, but there was a heavy haze in his eyes that could not be dissolved, and he responded in a daze, "Okay." Then he reluctantly walked out.
"Go out too." Liu Piaoyi said to Chunlin and Hua Ying again.
Young Master Jian has gone out, how can the two of them not listen and go out with them.
Miss Liu then swept her gaze at the painting again, and then looked at Kumquat.
"What does Ling Xinan mean?" Liu Piaoyin smiled.
Kumquat smiled, "The third young master just wants to send a painting to Sister Ji'er." ”
Draw.
Liu Piaomei snorted softly in her nose.
How could she not understand the scene on this painting.
It was by the river in Luodingzhou that year, Liu Piaoyi and Ling Xinan played together, and on that day, Ling Xinan also painted the same picture. But an incident happened that day, when Kumquat was wearing men's clothes and playing with a man by the river, Kumquat had a quarrel with the man, and the man slapped Kumquat, Liu Piaoyi couldn't see it, and went to help Kumquat in anger and asked why the man beat someone.
The man was angry with Liu Piao's nosyness, and he was about to smash the stone on the ground at her, but Kumquat blocked it, and then Liu Piaomei was angry, and even stepped forward to return him a stone, and Kumquat was frightened. And after the man's forehead was bleeding, he was angry and wanted to beat Liu Piaoyi again, Kumquat reacted, stepped forward and pulled again, and fell into the water with the man in the pull.
At that time, Ling Xinan was cleaning up the painting stall on the side, and hurriedly ran over when he saw this. Liu Piaoyi saw that the two of them fell into the water, and asked Ling Xinan to quickly go into the water to save people.
However, only Kumquat was rescued, and the man sank into the water and never resurfaced.
Such an old story, if you talk about it, Liu Piaoyi can't get rid of the relationship of killing. She was very scared at the time, afraid that her father would know, afraid that others would know, and even forced Kumquat to shut up.
After Kumquat learned the identities of Liu Piaoyi and Ling Xinan, she had a request to let Ling Xinan take her by her side, so she buried this matter in her heart forever and never raised it.
Liu Piaoyi remembered for herself, so she agreed to Kumquat's request. Ling Xinan did not refuse for the sake of Liu Piaomei.
But later, Kumquat served Ling Xinan very well, and kept her promise, and she didn't mention the events of that day to anyone.
Later, the relationship between the three also got along very well.
It's just that four years have passed since this incident, what does Ling Xinan mean by drawing the scene under the willow tree again?
Do you want to threaten her and make her remember that such a terrible thing happened?
Although this incident was not done by her Zhu Lianshuang, she is now Liu Piaomei, can she erase these.
Coming back to her senses from these memories, Miss Liu chuckled with interest, "Ling Xinan doesn't have anything else to say?" Just to show me this picture? ”
The corners of Kumquat's mouth still had a smile like a breeze, "The third young master asked Sister Ji'er to see the peach blossoms in Xiangshan in the western suburbs of the city tomorrow afternoon." ”
Liu Piaomei sneered at the corner of his mouth, sure enough, he had intentions.
After Kumquat left, Jian Xiu came in from the courtyard, and his dark and deep eyes were very suspicious of the truth that Kumquat had just sent the painting and remembered that he was going to meet alone.
He looked at that face, a little dazed, and in his deep eyes, a complicated look flashed, and the speed of change was so fast that it was unpredictable.
She smiled at him before he asked, "What did you say to Ling Xinan's subordinates?" ”
Liu Piao's eyes couldn't help but droop slightly, and he said lazily: "It's nothing, it's just reminiscing." ”
Is that also the past between her and Ling Xinan, he doesn't want to be like this. wanted to ask again, but Liu Piaoyi sat on the chair and didn't want to pay attention to his expression at all. Before he could say anything, she said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest." ”
She was driving him away, but he understood, and didn't say anything more, and said with concern, "Then you have to rest." ”
~~~~~~~~~~
After lunch, Liu Piaoyi wanted to go out for a walk, so he asked Chunlin to accompany him and went to the market for a walk.
Before leaving the house, she specifically reported to the eldest lady, saying that she wanted to go out and buy some rouge gouache for women. I never use these decorations on weekdays, but today I proposed to buy these, and the eldest lady agreed wholeheartedly, and even gave the silver to Chunlin. Explain to Chunlin, saying that Ji'er can buy whatever he wants to pay for.
On the way out of the house, Chunlin was extremely excited. The eldest lady explained that she could buy anything, and she wanted the young lady to pick a few things well. If the young lady does not use it in the future, it would be nice if it was given to her.
A woman's love of beauty is a preference from ancient times to the present, and as a maid, she agrees to love beauty and wants to smear some on her face.
She knew that Miss never used these, and it was just an excuse to ask for rouge gouache and leave the house, but in fact, Miss just wanted to go out of the house.
Before she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss used to like to hang out outside. After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was not easy for the young lady in the boudoir of the big family to go out, so the young lady went out less.
Chunlin knew very well what the young lady was thinking.
After leaving the house, the young lady is like this, she doesn't want to buy anything at all, she just looks at the market casually, looks at the prosperity of the capital, and the liveliness of the shops.
When passing by a stall, Chunlin hurriedly pulled Miss Laliu and said with a smile, "Miss, don't you buy some back when you come out, didn't you tell the eldest lady to buy rouge gouache, don't buy some back, it's not good." ”
It's really nice to look at the dazzling rouge brocade boxes on the stalls.
Chunlin's words were not wrong, Miss Liu thought about it, nodded and said, "Then buy some." ”
Chunlin smiled excitedly, "Okay, good." ”
The stall owner was busy greeting, and Chunlin picked out a few of her favorites for Liu Piaoyi, and then paid for it.
But at this time, someone in the crowd noticed the two of them, walked towards them, and said behind Liu Piaoyi, "Miss Liu." ”
The voice seemed familiar, and Miss Liu turned around and saw that the person calling her was Zhao Xuhao. I have seen it once, and it can be regarded as an acquaintance, Miss Liu smiled faintly, "This is Zhao Gongzi." ”
Zhao Xuhao raised his hand and saluted, "It's exactly below." Then he smiled and said, "Miss Liu shopping?" ”
Liu Piaoyi was calm and calm, fearless and fearless to reply to him, "Yes." ”
Zhao Xuhao smiled like a humble gentleman and said with a smile, "It's Zhao's honor to see Miss Liu again, can you invite Miss Liu to the teahouse for a cup of tea?" ”
"This ...... Still don't use it. Liu Piaoming snorted and smiled.
Zhao Xuhao said urgently, "Goodbye is fate, drink a cup of tea, we are also friends." ”
Liu Piaoyi had already seen that the man in front of him had bad intentions, and he sneered in his heart.
Chunlin sneered lightly in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"That's it, tomorrow I will go to Xiangshan Peach Blossom Temple, in case you come too, there is no need to get together today." Liu Piaoyi said with a smile on his face, a very sincere invitation.
Hearing this, Zhao Xuhao's heart blossomed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuhao hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Okay, Zhao will definitely go, wait for Miss Liu there." ”
Liu Piaoyi smiled at him again, then left, walking back. It's just that the moment she turned around, the smile on her face immediately turned into a cold and complicated smile.
Zhao Xuhao was still looking at her figure stupidly, and the joy stopped on his face for a long time.
Chunlin followed Miss Liu's footsteps and asked her incomprehensibly, "Why did Miss ask this Zhao Gongzi to go to play together?" ”
Chunlin didn't understand it very much, and couldn't guess what was going on in Miss's mind with her lips. I didn't want to see Ling Xinan, but I made an appointment with such a gentleman.
Liu Piaoyi didn't reply to her words, her face was gloomy, and Chunlin didn't ask any more.
~~~~~~~~~
In July, the capital enters the rainy period of autumn, the rain has been a little cool, the Xiangshan Temple in the western suburbs of the capital is shrouded in the rain, it is more and more green, and the Taoist view on the mountainside looms.
The peach blossom view is located on the mountainside, built by the mountain, there is only one hall of the mountain gate, it is narrow but the scenery is very good.
There was a light rain last night, but today the rain is clear again. On the way to the Peach Blossom Temple, the stone steps are still a little waterlogged, but it does not stop the people who go up to the view.
Liu Piaoyi came alone today, without bringing anyone, and just told Chunlin to say it, so that Chunlin didn't have to tell the people in the house.
Before leaving the house, Chunlin was very worried about the safety of the young lady, but the young lady couldn't help it if she didn't let her follow. I just took a cloak and asked the young lady to put it on, so as not to be cold in the shade of the mountains and forests.
Looking at the peach blossom view on the mountainside, Liu Piaoyi walked up the steps step by step, his steps were calm, and his expression was calm.
When she approached the Peach Blossom Temple, a cold smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
