Chapter 17: Chaos (5)
After Peony walked briskly for a distance, he wanted to hide back in his courtyard, but after thinking about it, he changed his course and went to the banquet venue. Li Xun and the others had already seen the ugliness of Liu Chang and the county lord of Qinghua, and these two did not dare to attack them, for fear that they would come to find their bad luck. If you want to make trouble, make a big fuss, what are you afraid of!
At this time, there were people who continued to compose poems and lyrics, there were also those who drank and laughed at the banquet, watched the musicians play songs and dances, some played Go in silence, and some played gambling money.
As soon as Peony showed her head, she saw a dignified young maid wearing green shoes and a lake green half-arm, looking for her, but it was Madame Bai who arranged to look for her.
Peony followed the maidservant girl to the grass pavilion behind the lilac bush, and saw Mrs. Bai and a girl with a black haircut, a gorse hairpin, eight begonia red Luo skirts, a golden tulle shawl, a goose egg face, long eyebrows and handsome eyes, a Joan nose and a sandalwood mouth, and a proud girl sitting in the pavilion, talking softly.
When Madame Bai saw Peony entering, she got up with a smile and said, "I didn't see you when I turned around just now, I thought you would say goodbye without saying goodbye." ”
Peony pushed: "Shicai has some things, I have to deal with it, I don't dare to disturb Mrs. Yaxing, so I didn't inform it, but the concubine was rude." ”
Madame Bai pulled Peony to her side and sat down, and said with a smile: "I'm joking with you, you are the master's family, and there are a lot of trivial matters, where can we just eat, drink and have fun?" ”
The two laughed once, and Mrs. Bai introduced the woman to Peony: "This is the seventeenth mother of the Wu family in Qinghe, the small character Xilian, we usually call her Ah Lian." ”
Wu Xilian only raised her body slightly, smiled faintly at Peony, and didn't say much.
Peony saw that Mrs. Bai had not introduced her identity to Wu Xilian, so she knew who she was, and Peony didn't take her disapproving attitude to heart. This Qinghe Wu clan is one of the famous families in the country, and the royal family also likes to marry them, and over time, they have formed a state of no one in their eyes. Even if the county lord of Qinghua is in their eyes, he may not be so noble.
Mrs. Bai said with a smile: "The Dragon Boat Festival in May is the queen's birthday, from the Qinzheng Building of Xingqing Palace to the Chunming Gate east of Jinguang Gate, and to the west of Jinguang Gate as a theater, there are hundreds of performances, do you want to go then?" ”
Wu Xilian said with a smile: "My father said a few days ago that he was going to build a watchhouse, and he must go if he wants to come." ”
Peony didn't even know whether the Liu family would go to see the shed, let alone know if he would be able to go out at that time, so he said: "I don't know." ”
Madame Bai said: "Okay, if you want to go, I will send a car to pick you up at that time." ”
Wu Xilian glanced at the peony and said, "If you are not polite, it is difficult for you to live such a life!" If it were me, I would have been out of office a long time ago. ”
Peony smiled faintly: "If I am Ah Lian, how can I be treated like this?" ”
Wu Xilian froze for a moment, and said harshly: "Even if I were you, I wouldn't live so aggrieved, it's better to die than to live like this!" ”
Madame Bai said unhappily: "Ah Lian, I once told you that people have different circumstances, different personalities, and different ways of dealing with problems. Is your sister doing well? Am I doing again? ”
Wu Xilian brushed her sleeves and got up: "Ah Xin, you are my sister's good friend, she suffered misfortune, not only did you not sympathize with her, but took out her pain as a talking point, which is really chilling!" ”
Mrs. Bai said: "I kindly introduced a friend to you, but you embarrassed her in public, didn't you also embarrass me?" I thought that you were different from others, you were informed, and with me and your sister in front of you, you wouldn't be as superficial and boring as others. I didn't know I was wrong about you! ”
"I'm superficial and boring?" Wu Xilian was so angry that her nostrils widened, and her eyes were red: "Ah Xin, you just met her, and you bullied me for her?" ”
Mrs. Bai said: "I'm not bullying anyone, I'm not protecting anyone, I'm just talking about things!" Many of these things you will know when you get married. ”
Wu Xilian pouted and said, "I won't marry this kind of person!" ”
Peony got up and saluted the two: "It's really not mine to make the two of them angry for me." I still have something to do over there, so I'll quit first. "If the so-called words are not speculative, why should Mrs. Bai offend her friends for her own sake?
Mrs. Bai wanted to keep the peony, but seeing that the peony looked faint, there was no sadness or joy in her eyes, and she was calm and natural, thinking that if she was forced to stay, it would be unpleasant, and it would be plain to block the peony, so she got up and sent the peony to the pavilion, shook her hand gently, and said in a low voice: "I'll see you another day." ”
Peony nodded, and only walked a few steps away, when he saw Pan Rong and Li Xun coming in a hurry, bluffed, and quickly dodged away.
Pan Rong said loudly: "Brother and sister, don't run, listen to me, this is nothing...... his voice was very loud, attracting everyone's attention.
Seeing this, Peony hid farther and farther.
Li Xun sank his face and grabbed Pan Rong: "Are you here to help, or are you here to add to the blockage?" You did it on purpose, right? If you mess with what we said before, it will be null and void. ”
Pan Rong blinked: "You don't want to deny it!" It's nothing. If she didn't adapt to it sooner, wouldn't she suffer in vain? Having said that, the detective called Madame Bai out.
After hearing his words, Madame Bai said strangely: "I don't see how sad she looks when I am just right." ”
Pan Rong said: "It's broken, it's broken!" Mourning is greater than dying, not only does she come back here, but she can also talk and laugh at you, she must have the will to die! You hurry up and tell her not to think about it! ”
Before the words fell, he was "bah" by Li Xun, and Mrs. Bai glanced at him lightly, did not say much to him, nor did she greet Wu Xilian in the pavilion, and went to look for peonies.
Peony avoided Pan Rong and others, and met Yu'er and a young woman playing with Yu'er, Yu'er had already lost a lot, so she strongly invited Peony to sit down and play together. Peony smiled: "I don't know how to play." ”
Yu'er smiled: "It's very simple, the young lady will play it once." Saying that, he taught the peony: "Throw five all-black for Lu, color 16 ......" before the word was over, and suddenly heard someone say: "Two pheasants and three black pheasants, color 14; Two calves and three white calves, color 10; Five are all white and white, color 8; These four colors are called expensive colors. ”
It turned out to be Liu Chang who answered.
Yu'er was so frightened that she quickly got up and saluted, Liu Chang naturally sat down next to Peony, Peony smelled the fragrance of smoke coming from his body, and thought of the situation at that time, and almost wanted to gag. It's not that she has any emotions for him, but it's disgusting to think that she sits so close to a public toilet.
Liu Chang saw that the peony was silent, only lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard in front of him, and said condescendingly: "I'll teach you to play." The tone was affirmative rather than inquiring.
It's weird. Peony raised his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, what is the scumbag going to do? Tell her to keep quiet? Don't cry? Does she look like she's going to cry out loud? He might as well go to his fox friend Pan Rong and talk about it. Why didn't he settle accounts with her? What about the county lord of Qinghua?
When Mrs. Bai came over, she saw Liu Chang and Peony sitting face to face in front of the chessboard, Liu Chang had a calm face and threw the five arrows over, and Peony was like a piece of wood, straight where the pestle did not move, there was no sadness or joy on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Mrs. Bai thought about it, then stepped forward to say hello to Liu Chang and looked at Peony: "Brother and sister, I have something to look for you." ”
Peony let out an "oh", got up and said, "Yu'er, you play with your son." ”
Yu'er felt that something was wrong with the situation, and she didn't dare to say that it was good, nor did she dare to say that it was bad, so she just smiled and stood beside Liu Chang, and didn't dare to say much. Liu Chang saw that Peony and the Bai clan were getting farther and farther away, threw the arrow in his hand, got up and joined a group of men who were gambling hotly.
Madame Bai pulled the peony to a secluded place, retreated left and right, looked at her seriously, and said, "What do you think?" ”
Peony knew that she already knew what had just happened, and smiled faintly: "I don't have any ideas." ”
Madame Bai said sternly: "There is nothing to be done, so why don't you think about it?" Or is it already desperate, so everything comes to mind? I'm telling you, it's nothing! She grabbed Peony's wrist and grabbed Peony's wrist painfully, "It's not worth it to seek death for this kind of person!" The more they do this to you, the more you have to live well! ”
It turned out that he was afraid that he would seek death, but Peony smiled: "I won't seek death." I didn't think much of it, but I just didn't care. It's like, I'm very comfortable basking in the sun at the moment, and someone says to me, it's raining somewhere else, so what does it have to do with me? ”
Madame Bai was silent for a moment, seemed to believe her statement, and said, "This is the best." You'd better be careful, beware of her failing to make a plan and having a plan, her face is small, and her life is big. ”
The peony was in a daze, and he was busy saluting and thanking him.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, and everyone rushed towards a certain place like a tide. Madame Bai beckoned the maid in green shoes to come over: "Go and see what's going on?" ”
After a while, the maid went and returned, glanced at Peony, and said, "It was Liu Fengyilang and Li Gongzi who had a dispute over trivial matters and made a move." ”
Madame Bai and Peony knew that it must be for what happened just now, and the paper couldn't contain the fire, and it wouldn't be long before this ugly incident would spread throughout the capital through everyone present. Madam Bai frowned: "It's not you helping anyone, it's better to go back first." ”
