Chapter 34: Goodbye Xie Yan
The sunlight shone on the surface of Huaxi smoke, plated with a layer of golden light, and when viewed from the side, it looked like a finely carved jade. Her eyebrows were a little lighter under the bright golden light, making her whole person a little less aggressive. The diamond lips were gently hooked, and the corners of the lips hung with the same faint smile, and the whole person revealed a gentle state of spring breeze.
Wang Lan walked on the edge of Huaxi Yan, as a woman, she couldn't help but be dazzled by the beauty in front of her.
The small garden was not very far from Mochizuki, and after Hua Xiyan walked in, he heard a fierce and harsh voice.
Meng Ru cowered and knelt on the ground, Xie Yan looked down at her condescendingly with her head held high, and there was a buttoned porcelain cup next to her, and the soup and water were spilled on the ground.
Hua Xiyan walked over, smiled lightly and said to the gushing Xie Yan: "Miss Xie, what's wrong?" Why is it so angry? ”
Xie Yan stared at Hua Xiyan and saw that the other party was surrounded by ayaluo, although the jewelry was simple, it was worth a lot at a glance. Even the smile on her face that was the same as before had a bit more noble and cold in her eyes.
Her voice sank a little, and she squinted and said, "Huaxiyan, it's really you!" ”
Wang Lan was stunned, and looked at Hua Xiyan's eyes as if to say: You know each other?
Hua Xiyan patted Wang Lan's hand, meaning to explain later. She stepped forward slowly, embroidered shoes decorated with golden tassels walked around the puddle of soup to the shrunken Meng Ru, and said in a clear voice: "My maid has offended Miss Xie?" ”
Xie Yan snorted coldly, wrinkled her delicate nose, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, I will see this kind of cheap billet?" ”
Huaxi Yandai raised her eyebrows lightly, and turned her head to look at Meng Ru: "You say, what's the matter?" ”
The skirt of the splendid Luo skirt spread out like auspicious clouds in front of Meng Ru, layer upon layer, complex and gorgeous, and the broken diamond gold of the skirt emitted a cold light. Hua Xiyan's soft questioning voice made her feel creepy.
"Meng Ru, Miss asked you!" Seeing that Meng Ru didn't answer for a long time, he asked Xia to remind anxiously.
Meng Ru came back to her senses at this time, quickly kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave maid went to serve the white fungus lotus seed soup for Miss, but she left in too much hurry, collided with Miss Xie, and dyed Miss Xie's skirt. ”
Hua Xiyan looked down and saw a small dirt on Xie Yan's bright red skirt.
"I wonder what Miss Xie wants to do with this matter?" Hua Xiyan pondered for a moment and looked up and asked.
"I want this slut to pay for his life!" Xie Yan's slender fingers painted with peony red dankou pointed at Meng Ru and said without hesitation.
Wang Lan frowned, stepped forward and said, "Miss Xie's move is a bit excessive, is it too unkind to ask for this maid's life with a skirt?" ”
"Miss Wang, my skirt is a Shu embroidery forging that only produces ten horses a year, and it is not too valuable to be worth the city, is it not worth the life of a girl?" Xie Yan snorted coldly and spoke clearly, looking unrelenting.
In a big family, the girl's life is naturally worthless, if you catch up with the master and are in a bad mood, it is commonplace to kill a few girls casually. Wang Lan didn't know that Meng Ru was collected by Huaxi Yan halfway, but he only thought that he brought it from Rongzhou like Wen Xia, so the meaning was naturally different, so he made up his mind to protect this girl for Huaxi Yan.
Wang Lan was about to speak, but was stopped by Hua Xiyan raising her hand, she turned her head and looked at Hua Xiyan with some puzzlement.
Hua Xiyan knew that Xie Yan was embarrassing herself, if this matter spread today, people would only say that she was a good bully, and she couldn't keep her face, not only would it cause criticism, but I was afraid that it would also make everyone in Wangyuexuan lose their hearts, so in the future, I am afraid it will be even more inconvenient.
But if she protects Meng Ru, people will only say that she is not strict in discipline and allows her subordinates to behave indiscriminately, then others will also question her, and her reputation will still be damaged.
Thinking about this, Hua Xiyan casually glanced at the porcelain cup on the ground, and then the beautiful eyes that drooped slightly flashed a fine light.
She suddenly turned her head, pointed to a servant girl with a very low sense of existence next to her, and asked in a clear voice, "Who are you?" ”
The maidservant who was ordered was shocked, and then hurriedly knelt down and replied respectfully, "Slave maid...... It happened to be passing by...... I didn't quite bump into it......"
Hua Xiyan nodded, and then asked, "You also saw Meng Ruchong bumping into Miss Xie?" ”
The maid hung her head and said yes.
Hua Xiyan sighed helplessly, a look of sadness flashed on her beautiful face, and even the words she said were a little helpless: "Meng Ru, since Miss Xie wants you to fight with your life, I can't protect you......"
Everyone present was stunned, they didn't expect Huaxi Yan to be so ruthless, and they would give up.
Meng Ru's face turned pale all of a sudden, she took a few steps on her knees, grabbed Hua Xiyan's skirt tightly, and burst into tears: "Miss, the slave really didn't mean to offend...... The slave maid has been with the young lady for many days, and the young lady also knows the slave and the maid, for the sake of the past feelings, save the slave and the maid! ”
After that, he actually kowtowed to Huaxi Yan.
Hua Xiyan lowered his eyes with a cold look, and looked at Meng Ru with a calm expression. It's just a few words, and she said her past feelings, if she really didn't save it, wouldn't she become the ruthless and unrighteous person who didn't miss the old love?
Meng Ru's head thumped, and everyone who heard it was shocked, but Hua Xiyan's demeanor did not fluctuate in the slightest.
After a while, I only heard her speak in a cold voice: "On such a big day as today, you can collide with your guests, what do I want you to do?" You keep saying that you want me to save you, doesn't this make Miss Xie embarrassed? Miss Xie has always been broad-minded and never takes small things to heart, but this time she is extremely angry, which shows that you are really wrong! How can I protect you? ”
Hua Xiyan's words were sonorous, and between the words were accusations against Meng Ru, but in Xie Yan's ears, it was not like this.
She has never been polite to Hua Xiyan, but now she keeps saying that she is tolerant and generous, nothing more than to forgive this slave by herself. It's all said that this is on, what else can she do?
Xie Yan elegantly stroked the rich and noble double happiness golden step on her head, and the long pearl hung down to her ear, which also made her voice seem like a jade plate: "Okay, today's good day, it's really bad luck to see blood." For your master's sake, I will spare you! ”
Hearing this, Meng Ru was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again to thank him, grateful to him.
Xie Yan snorted lightly, as if sparing a person's life was no different from sparing a dog. She just looked at Hua Xiyan with a proud expression.
Hua Xiyan turned a blind eye to the hostility in her eyes, turned her head to Shang Qiong, the eldest girl beside Wang Lan, and said, "Trouble Miss Shang Qiong to take Miss Xie to the guest room to change clothes." ”
"Yes!" Shang Qiong saluted, and led Xie Yan and the others towards another small scripture.
"Miss Wang Er's sharp teeth are really admirable!" Xie Yan walked up to Hua Xiyan and threw down such a sentence.
"Miss Xie's open-mindedness is the most admirable!" Hua Xiyan said with a smile, with sincerity on his face.
"I'd like to see how long you can be proud!" Xie Yan said, threw up her sleeves and left, leaving a fragrant breeze in the air.
Wang Lan frowned and looked at Xie Yan's slender and luxurious back, and frowned: "Why is this Miss Xie so hostile?" ”
Hua Xiyan smiled but didn't answer, and looked down at Meng Ru: "This white fungus lotus seed soup is all down, why don't you go and prepare again?" ”
Meng Ru hurriedly got up, responded repeatedly, and hurriedly picked up the porcelain cup from the ground and hurried away.
Hua Xiyan whispered a few words beside Wen Xia, only to see that Wen Xia's face turned pale, and he nodded solemnly at random.
Wang Lan heard Hua Xiyan's words, and said a little confusedly: "What, do you suspect that your servant girl can't succeed?" ”
"It is indispensable to guard against others." Hua Xiyan sighed lightly, her beautiful eyes were empty, with a trace of ethereal and distant expression, and said slowly, "I hope I'm suspicious!" ”
When it was almost noon, most of the guests had already arrived, and Wang Yao led everyone to sit in the flower hall in the front yard.
The flower hall lives up to its name, and several white jade pillars stand around it, more than three zhang high. The pillars are layered with vines such as ivy and glazed chickweeds. Emerald green with a little purple, green with a hint of elegance. There are all kinds of flowers under the columns, and even the middle aisle is full of flowers.
There are two long cases, with two jade steps at the top and several jade platforms on the top. Each jade table and table are full of flowers, and there are beautiful and delicious foods between the flowers. Because the flower hall is set up in the open air, there will be a breeze from time to time, with bursts of floral fragrance, fragrant and fragrant, refreshing, and will not make people feel the bleak and sad state of late autumn.
The guests in the row all sighed and sighed at the careful arrangement of the Wang family, and at the same time, they were even more looking forward to what the second Miss Wang looked like, which could make the Wang family work so hard.
"Miss, please!" Wang Yao ordered to a waiter beside him, and then picked up the wine glass in front of him to entertain everyone.
Whether it is a dignitary, a son of a family, or a famous lady, no one who has never seen Huaxi Yan, there are people who are absent-minded, and frequently look outside the venue, with a full curious look on their faces.
"What's there to see, it's just a woman from a small place, even if she flies on a branch, she can't become a phoenix." Xie Yan changed into a silver-patterned embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirt, waving the fan in her hand, with a gloomy expression.
Although Mrs. Wang was unhappy in her heart, she still had a generous and decent smile on her face: "Listening to Miss Xie's words, it seems that she is an old acquaintance with our niece?" ”
"Nature." Xie Yan bowed slightly, and when she saw that everyone in the hall was looking at her, her heart was even more serious, "I went to Shengzhou by chance and had a few encounters with the second lady. At that time, the second lady was just the daughter of a county order, but she didn't expect to become a noble girl now, and the world is really impermanent. ”
Xie Yan sighed, and everyone's faces changed to inexplicable looks, originally thinking that these two young ladies were a high-ranking daughter no matter how poor they were, but they didn't expect it to be a county order, in their hearts, this is not an exaggeration. Although she is in love with the Wang family, she is a foreign lady after all, what use can she have?
Thinking like this, the person who originally had the idea of Huaxi smoke slightly restrained his thoughts and watched from the wall.
Just as they were thinking, there was a commotion outside, and everyone turned their heads to see a woman in a gorgeous costume smiling and coming slowly.
