Chapter 17: He Strikes Suddenly
Hua Ying came to tell Miss Liu that Zhang Momo's maid had come to the house to deliver a letter to Miss and invited Miss to Xinsheng Building for a gathering.
Chunlin was very funny, the young lady was casually perfunctory that day, Zhang Momo took it seriously, and sent the slave maid to remind her.
Miss Liu thought that today was the time of the day, and it was not easy to refuse if she had already promised others, so she asked Hua Ying to tell the maid who came that she would go to the appointment when the time came.
Chunlin looked at her in surprise, "Miss is really going to go?" ”
Miss Liu said lightly, "It's just an appointment with a woman, what's so surprising, it's not a man." ”
Chunlin flattened her mouth, "Then Chunlin is also with her, what's the matter, Chunlin can protect Miss." ”
Miss Liu smiled, "What can this be?" ”
"That's not for sure, who knows what kind of heart that Momo'an has." Chunlin sneered.
When the hour was approaching, Miss Liu went out, and Chunlin followed.
When Miss Liu walked out of the mansion, the second lady saw it, and from a distance, she looked at the back of Miss Liu walking out, and said to the servant woman next to her, "Why did Miss Biao go out again?" ”
"Miss Cousin seems to have been out of the door several times in recent days."
The servant woman whispered.
"What is she up to?" The second lady muttered to herself.
"This time it seems to be an appointment for the Zhang family Momo in the matter." The servant replied respectfully again.
"Is the eldest lady clear?" The second lady asked the servant.
The servant shook her head, "Maybe not. ”
When Miss Liu walked into the lobby of Xinsheng Building, she saw that the hall was very lively. It's a place where you can relax and play when you don't have anything to do on weekdays.
In addition to a number of guest tables in the lobby, there are also wooden targets for archery in front of the hall, and some guests are playing with interest.
Miss Liu casually glanced around, wanting to see where Zhang Momo was.
At this moment, Zhang Momo came down from the second floor and beckoned to Miss Liu.
Miss Liu walked over to her.
Zhang Momo was very enthusiastic, grabbed Miss Liu's wrist and took her upstairs.
Chunlin flattened her mouth, and felt that Zhang Momo's hospitable and warm behavior was really too ordinary.
Miss Liu just didn't have much expression faintly, and followed Zhang Momo to a private room.
On the second floor, you can see everything downstairs by the windowsill of the elegant room, and Zhang Momo asked Miss Liu to sit by the window, and at the same time sat down herself.
Miss Liu saw that there was one of her maids in addition to Zhang Momo, and there was no one else, so it seemed that Zhang Momo had specially invited Miss Liu to be alone.
The waiter in the building was busy bringing drinks and snacks.
Chunlin and Zhang Momo's maids each stood behind their masters and remained silent.
After Miss Liu sat down, she smiled and said, "Miss Momo, please come to the memory, I don't know what's the matter?" ”
Miss Liu felt that it was impossible to just invite her to have some tea and something to eat.
Zhang Momo smiled sweetly, "Momo really just invited Miss Liu to come out and play, sit down, and there really isn't anything else." ”
Miss Liu snorted and smiled softly, half-believing her words.
Zhang Momo looked at the hall downstairs, then pointed to the man who was shooting, and said with a smile, "Miss Liu, you see how well he shoots, he hit the bull's-eye." ”
Miss Liu followed her gaze and saw a man in a snow-white brocade dress dressed in fine ice-blue silk and embroidered with an elegant bamboo leaf pattern shooting arrows with a bow and crossbow in his hand.
Miss Liu just glanced at it lightly, not much interested.
Zhang Momo glanced at Miss Liu's expression, and then said with a smile, "That son is Zhao Xuhao, the second son of Zhao Jinli, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, with a personable demeanor and a talent. ”
Hearing this, Miss Liu felt that this Momo was like a blind date.
Miss Liu smiled softly.
Chunlin also heard the meaning, lowered her head and pursed her lips and chuckled.
"How is it, Zhao Gongzi is good." Zhang Momo looked at Miss Liu with a smile.
Miss Liu nodded and responded to her with a faint smile.
When Miss Liu looked downstairs again, there was just a glance from the other side, it was Zhao Xuhao who looked upstairs at them, and even smiled at Miss Liu.
When Miss Liu met his gaze, she was just indifferent and didn't have much expression.
Zhao Xuhao was obviously stunned by Miss Liu's indifferent expression, but he immediately beckoned to Zhang Momo, as if calling her down.
Zhang Momo nodded, and after standing up, she grabbed Miss Liu's arm and said to her with a smile, "Let's go down and have fun." ”
Miss Liu wanted to refuse, but Zhang Momo said busily, "It's okay to play, they are all from the capital, and they will be familiar with each other." ”
Miss Liu still didn't nod.
"Just accompany me." Zhang Momo invited with a smile.
Miss Liu then got up.
The four of them went downstairs together, Zhang Momo walked towards Zhao Xuhao, and hurriedly introduced him, "Liu Piaoyi from the Prime Minister's Office, Miss Liu." ”
Miss Liu smiled faintly at Zhao Xuhao, indicating etiquette.
Zhao Xuhao introduced his name, and then said, "I'm very interested in meeting Miss Liu." ”
Chunlin really didn't know what this Zhang Momo wanted to do, let her young lady come out, just to play with her?
However, when Chunlin saw this Zhao Gongzi, she really felt that he was really a talent and personable.
"Miss Liu, let's have fun together." Zhang Momo nudged Miss Liu's back and sent her to the stage to shoot arrows.
Miss Liu was pushed by her like this, and her steps stepped onto the stage, but she was a little displeased. Glancing back at the audience, there were all the eyes of the guests.
Zhao Xuhao thought that she couldn't shoot arrows, so he was busy playing a round for her, "If Miss Liu can't, Zhao can teach you." ”
"yes, I won't teach it." I don't know who in the audience coaxed a sentence.
Miss Liu didn't reply, just glanced at the bow and crossbow on the table.
"Zhao Gongzi, teach, teach this Miss Liu."
I don't know who said it in the audience.
Chunlin looked at her own young lady, but she knew that Miss Liu didn't know how to shoot arrows at all, what could she shoot when she came to the stage, it was just a fool, and she was very worried.
"She, I'll just teach, don't bother Zhao Gongzi......"
At this time, a mellow voice came from the door of Xinsheng Building.
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the hall at the entrance was already full of a horizontal row of brocade guards, and in front of the brocade guards, it was Zhang Jianxiu, who was wearing the clothes of the commander of the brocade guards.
Miss Liu also looked and saw the tall and slender figure, the majestic and majestic momentum, and the indifferent and indifferent face.
The hall was suddenly silent, and I saw Jian Xiu walking from the door to Miss Liu step by step from the middle of the hall.
Zhao Xuhao smiled coldly.
Zhang Momo was even more surprised and didn't say a word.
Miss Liu watched Jian Xiu walk up, glanced at herself, and then looked at Zhao Xuhao, and said without any expression on her face, "Zhao Gongzi is always so leisurely. ”
Zhao Xuhao laughed, "I, Zhao, am like the commander of the Jinyi Guard, an important minister of the court, busy with public property, and he is just a son and brother who is idle at home, and there is time to be leisurely." As he spoke, he laughed again, "Why, Lord Zhang is also free today?" ”
Jian Xiu's thin lips smiled faintly, "It's okay to come from time to time to relax." ”
In the eyes of everyone, seeing this time, they seemed to feel a menacing force, is this Lord Zhang worried that other men will contact Miss Liu.
Anyway, Zhang Momo thought so at this time, and she was coldly surprised in her heart.
Didn't you say that this conductor never cared about women's affairs?
Oh, by the way, Miss Liu is his cousin.
Zhang Momo came back to his senses and smiled at Jian Xiu, "Since the commander wants to play, let's teach Miss Liu." ”
