Chapter 35: Bad Intentions
||->->Chapter 35 Ill-willed
Hua Xiyan changed into a carved gold button peony pattern Shu brocade dress, with a smoke cloud butterfly skirt, six beaded coral bat hairpins on the weeping cloud Wangxian hairpin, a double luan dot emerald gold step on the right sideburn, the long pearl tassel hung directly to the shoulder, accompanied by her lotus step lightly, slightly shaking, on her cheeks reflected layers of dazzling golden halo.
But this luxurious and graceful dress is still less than one-twelfth of her beautiful face. It seems that the fine clothes and jewelry are just for her body and hair, and will not add even a little bright color to her. Standing there, she was a splendid scenery.
The people who were still whispering fell silent for a moment, and quietly watched the woman walk slowly with a decent smile, and saluted everyone generously and decently, without a trace of inappropriateness.
"Uncle, aunt, brothers." Huaxi Yanyan skirted up the jade steps and bowed to ten thousand blessings.
"Okay, get up, come to my aunt!" Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, greeting Hua Xiyan.
"My sister is really beautiful, and now she is dressed like this, I don't know how many men's hearts will be drunk!" Wang Qi held the blue glazed porcelain cup in his hand and said with a smile.
In the past few days, when she saw Hua Xiyan, she was dressed in a very plain dress, and it was the first time that she was so luxurious and graceful. However, because she was born charming, such a luxury seems to be more suitable for her.
"How does the third brother know that he doesn't have the heart of many daughters?" Hua Xiyan blinked, the sparkle in his eyes flowed, and he replied with a smile.
Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then reflexively looked in a certain direction, his eyes were deep.
Hua Xiyan followed his gaze and saw a woman sitting next to Wen Mei, with a humble expression and a soft smile. Hua Xi is clear, this is the second ** of the Wen family, the third brother's sweetheart Wen Lin.
Wen Lin seemed to feel the gaze, turned her head and met Wang Qi's gaze, two red clouds flew on her face in an instant, and her red lips hooked an extremely pleasant arc, Hua Xiyan instantly understood that these two people were really happy with each other.
But thinking of the relationship between the Wang family and the Wen family, how could they agree to the two of them like this? Hua Xiyan watched the silent interaction between the two, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.
"Sister Hua!" Suddenly, there was an extremely delicate call, Hua Xiyan followed the prestige, and then he was stunned, it turned out to be Yang Jinrong, who had not been seen for a long time.
Unchanged for nearly three months, Yang Jinrong seems to have lost some weight, but the delicate energy in her body has not diminished at all, and her big apricot eyes are full of excitement.
Hua Xiyan said a few words to Wang Yao and Mrs. Wang, and then walked towards the bottom with her skirt lifted.
"Young Master Yang, Yang **!" Hua Xiyan greeted the two of them.
She originally thought that the Hongnong Yang clan would send the Marquis of Luling to come, but she didn't expect that it was these two people who came.
"How's it going?" Yang Jincheng looked up at Hua Xiyan and asked with a smile.
didn't ask why she was here, didn't ask her to become the second ** of the Wang family, just a sentence that seemed to be an old friend meeting "It's good lately", which made Huaxi Yan's heart feel a lot more comfortable.
"Good." Hua Xiyan's smile became a little brighter.
"Sister Hua, I almost didn't recognize you just now when you were dressed like this." Yang Jinrong stepped forward, took Hua Xiyan's arm, and said in a coquettish voice, and then lowered his voice and added, "But this is good-looking, this full house of ** has been compared to you." ”
The glass beads on her head are radiant and radiant, exuding a bright luster, making her little face full of infinite youthful vitality.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Hua Xiyan smiled and nodded Yang Jinrong's forehead.
"Yo, it turns out that Wang Er** and Yang** are still old acquaintances?" There was an extremely discordant voice next to him, and he didn't need to look to know that it was Wen Mei.
Hua Xiyan didn't answer, but smiled decently: "It seems that Wen Da**'s face is very good." ”
The daughter saw that her favorite thing was her face, thinking of the last time, Wen Mei still had some lingering palpitations, so she didn't feel ruthless: "Is it you?" ”
Hua Xiyan sneered: "Wen Da** is not right, it is your brother who orders the food, and it is your shop that serves the food, I haven't even touched your things from beginning to end, where do you come from?" ”
Wen Mei also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Hua Xiyan, but Hua Xiyan had just mentioned this matter, so she couldn't help but say so. Now that Hua Xiyan said this, he instantly felt embarrassed, and couldn't help but look a little more embarrassed.
"I hope you can continue to be so proud in the future!" After a while, Wen Mei squeezed out such a sentence from between her teeth.
"Wen Da**'s words are bad, I have nothing to be proud of." Hua Xiyan shook his head with a smile, looking humble.
Wen Mei snorted coldly, looked up and down at Hua Xiyan's luxurious clothes, and sneered disdainfully: "Don't think that if you wear gold and silver, you will become a real noble girl, nothing can change your humble background, you will never be able to melt into that circle!" ”
Hua Xiyan thought that she didn't plan to be a high-ranking lady, and now she came to the Wang family just to take revenge, as for that circle, what does it matter if she doesn't get in or not?
"Then why did Wen Da** rush to talk to me, a lowly person? Or does Wen Da** have the habit of practicing himself? Hua Xiyan said, raising his head slightly, and the earrings of a ruby on his earlobe were extremely dazzling.
"You ......"
"Wen Da**." Hua Xiyan interrupted Wen Mei's words with a faint voice, "Everything is inferior, but reading is high." My father was a jinshi at that time, and he entered the officialdom with the civil service examination. If you reach the ears of others, I am afraid that you will think that you slander the government and government, and if it accidentally reaches the ears of the high-ranking officials present, it will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of your Wen family! ”
Wen Mei's face turned pale, and she naturally understood the meaning of Hua Xiyan's words. Shengtian Shangwen has always respected the officials who came out of the civil official meeting. And her Wen family is just a mere merchant, even if she is called an imperial merchant, it can't change the fact that the merchant speaks out. And if what she just said is heard by someone with a heart, people will only say that the Wen family is not strict in family education, the door style is not right, and the merchants actually slander the government, which is a terrible sin!
Although Hua Xiyan's words were very short, they were every word, and every sentence was reasonable, Wen Mei couldn't help blushing for a while, and she had to look at her resentfully, unable to spit out half a word.
"Wang Er**." A soft voice came from the side, which formed a great contrast with Wen Mei's aggressiveness, like a breeze blowing through her heart, stirring up a layer of ripples and then dissipating invisible, but Yingying lingered in her heart and lasted for a long time.
Hua Xiyan looked up and saw what he had just seen, Wen Er** Wen Lin.
Wen Lin saluted Hua Xiyan and said softly: "My sister is straightforward, what she said just now is not the original intention, and I hope that Wang Er** will not mind." ”
Wen Lin's cheeks are very thin, her eyes are not big, but she is extremely energetic, and her lips are pale pink, which adds a bit of weakness to her whole body, I don't know why, Hua Xiyan feels good about this woman.
Maybe it's because she, like Liu, has that gentle bookish air. Or maybe it's because of her relationship with Wang Qi that makes her sigh and sympathize, and it's difficult to feel disgusted.
"Naturally not." Hua Xiyan said that, smiled generously, turned around and sat next to Yang Jinrong, looking like he didn't say much.
Yang Jinrong pursed her lips and looked unhappy: "Sister Hua, look at what the woman said, why did you hold down and not let me exit just now?" ”
Hua Xiyan chuckled: "What position are you talking from?" ”
"Nature is the position of friends." Yang Jinrong said it as a matter of course.
"Then everyone will give me the name of being proud of **, and it will not do me or you any good." Hua Xiyan picked up an autumn fruit from the jade table in front of him and looked at it slowly.
Yang Jinrong just had a pair of apricot eyes, and he seemed to be a little unclear.
Hua Xiyan sighed, Yang Jinrong was too well protected after all, and he didn't understand those so-called intrigues at all. In those big families, it is really not easy to produce such a simple woman as bright as a peach blossom.
Just thinking to himself, he suddenly heard Yang Jincheng next to him laughing in a low voice, Hua Xiyan looked up at him, a little unclear.
"Wanton and bewitching, ordinary people don't know how to be humane." Yang Jincheng slapped a fan in his hand, the corners of his lips were hooked obliquely, and he spit out such a sentence in a gesture.
Hua Xiyan blinked his eyes, and then looked at it, and most of the people in the flower hall were staring at him, and some young men hurriedly turned their heads after colliding with their eyes, and their faces were scarlet.
Xie Yan sat next to a jade table diagonally opposite Huaxi Yan, and when she saw that everyone's eyes were attracted by Hua Xiyan, she was unconsciously dissatisfied, and the little red plum blossom on her forehead made her eyes look as if they were flushed with blood.
She turned to the maidservant beside her and said a few words, then lowered her expression and sat quietly.
After a while, the maidservant girl came back, Xie Yan suddenly got up, Yingying walked to the middle, bowed slightly to the person on top, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa Guo, madam, Xie Yan has something to show you!" ”
The noise in the hall fell silent in an instant, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo outside the flower hall became clearer, and everyone unconsciously rose a little kind, thinking about what kind of gift it was, and this Xie ** wanted to present it at this time.
Xie Yan turned around and gestured to the maidservant behind her, looked back at Hua Xiyan casually, and showed a smile, but that smile was full of provocation and ill will in Hua Xiyan's opinion.
Hua Xiyan naturally knew that Xie Yan didn't like her, but now she lowered her eyes lightly and ignored it. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, she wants to see what tricks this Xie Yan can play for herself.
