Chapter 17 There is no good feast for the birthday feast
Ji Ling was originally kind, but he was unexpectedly glared at by Lu Yunlan. I saw that the girl's eyes were circulating, although they were not stunning, but they were annoyed and added a little bit of beauty, which made him feel a little different.
Ji Ling didn't mean to make Lu Yunlan angry, so he changed his tone and diverted the topic, "It's just the head, since my cousin pushed it, then I just ask my aunt to change it again." ”
Xiao Meng saw that his mind was changing rapidly, but he made up his mind to pick and choose in his jewelry box, and couldn't help but take the handle of the fan and point it at him, angry and laughing.
"Look, this little demon star is sure that his fifth sister's sachet is effective!"
"Auntie, my 'Demon Star' has prepared good things for you."
The gifts from the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion had already been delivered, but Ji Ling still let the attendant come in with a basket. Xiao Meng knew that this nephew had always had unexpected ideas, so he looked at him with his eyes and said with a smile, "What kind of rare thing is this, can't you send it with your father and mother?" I just have to hold it myself. ”
After that, she moved lightly and stepped forward, only to see the snow-white mass floating slightly in the basket carried by the attendant, and she was not surprised.
"Ah, that's ......"
Several girls from the Lu family couldn't help but cast their sights. Lu Yunfei in the second room had a lively personality, and she took a few steps ahead of the sisters and took a real look inside the basket - she clapped her hands and smiled, "It's really a snow-white kitten!" ”
Lu Yunying is tall, and he can clearly see that the kitten cub with pure white coat has a pair of extremely beautiful heterochromatic pupils, blue on the left and yellow on the right, lazily coiled in the sun, very small and cute.
Ji Ling smiled at this time, "This Persian cat has a docile temperament and likes relatives, and my aunt will be happy to keep it by her side." But what about the little heart of my 'magic star'! ”
"It's cute, indeed."
Xiao Meng deliberately glared at him, but still happily teased the kitten in the basket, only to see that the kitten looked innocent, lively and active, only the paws have not yet grown, and the fluffy appearance is cute with teeth and claws - she had a white Shih Tzu in her early years, and she was also obedient and sensible, but unfortunately she died of illness later. After Lu Chengjin and Lu Chengyao were born one after another, she was also not available for a while. Now that her two sons are older, she wants to raise something to pass the time, and Ji Ling's gift just happened to match her heart.
After instructing Qingzhu to take the cat down to take care of it, Xiao Meng said to their brothers and sisters.
"What are you doing standing? Today, your third uncle invited the troupe to come, hurry up and order two plays to watch a lively one! ”
But everyone was disrespectful, so the maid led the way and walked to the place where the stage had been set up.
Lu Yunying took the lead, Lu Yunmeng was half a step slower, and talked and laughed in a low voice with Lu Yunshao and Lu Yunfei in the second room, Lu Yunlan wanted to be with Lu Yunying, but Ji Ling gave her a look when he left Xiao Meng's courtyard - what to do? Something to say to her?
Lu Yunlan wanted to pretend that she hadn't seen it, but she felt that she was obviously eye-catching with him, so why bother pretending to be.
The girl in blue took a few steps behind without a trace, pretending to hold a white jade water lily-like pearl hairpin on her sideburns, and whispered, "Cousin." ”
The girl's voice was as clear as a spring, and it was particularly moving when it fell into her ears, Ji Ling laughed when she heard it, and she also lowered her voice and called her.
"Fifth cousin."
"My cousin is just like that...... But what's the matter? ”
The smile on Ji Ling's lips gradually deepened, and his eyes swirled on the pink rose skirt in front of him before he said.
"I heard that my cousin is now learning from Mama Xi, but I don't know what Mama Wang is used to? Mama Gao...... Is it good to teach? ”
The surprise on Lu Yunlan's face was undisguised, "Yes, it's just how did my cousin know...... The two teaching grandmothers are Gao Mama and Wang Mama? The two grandmothers were both sent by the concubines. ”
Ji Ling clenched his fist with his hand and put it to his mouth and coughed lightly.
"My cousin is smart and shrewd, I'm just asking."
Under the bright sun, the purple clothes on the young man's body made him look radiant. Ji Ling was born handsome and naturally loved to laugh, but anyone who saw him couldn't help but praise "Ji Lang is a good color". At this moment, he smiled slightly at Lu Yunlan, and even the lotus rong and cuckoo who followed the master were slightly taken aback, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again.
"Mama Wang taught me very carefully, and Mama Gao ......" Lu Yunlan suddenly paused when she said this, her mind was racing, and she looked back at Ji Ling, "The two grandmothers are both born in the palace, so naturally there is nothing bad." ”
At the end of her words, she seemed to be smiling.
"Just, cousin, don't laugh like that anymore...... In case my cousin you hook the soul of the girl next to me, where can you tell me to find it when you turn around? The girl's voice was lowered, and she covered half of her face with a veil, "...... Also, has my cousin ever heard the words 'keep a low profile'? Lan Niang had no intention of showing off among the sisters, so she specially gave her aunt an ordinary sachet, but my cousin's words made me lose all my efforts. ”
Ji Ling didn't expect that she would make a joke first, and then tell her bluntly, she was speechless for a while, and could only watch the girl in blue walk slowly forward, chasing her sisters.
"I didn't believe the last time you said that he suffered the loss of the fifth sister, but now that I look at it, it's really the case-"
"What am I talking about? You didn't believe me when you heard it that day, but now you see it, right? ”
"Hey, don't say that, after all, I haven't seen this with my own eyes, how can I believe it? Our cousin ......."
"It's extreme, it's extreme!"
Ji Ling was still distracted, and he couldn't help but hear the two male voices behind him talking and joking, one after another, making him unable to parry. The purple-clothed young man sighed, and his shoulders were hooked up left and right.
"Cousin Ling, it's a coincidence."
"Cousin Ling, it's early."
“…… What about the two of you singing? ”
Ji Ling wanted to break free from the actions of his two cousins, but Lu Chengjin and Lu Chengyao were not seven or eight-year-old children anymore - Lu Chengjin was even more fond of martial arts and had a strong physique.
The three of them stumbled into the main courtyard in this awkward position, laughing and laughing along the way. Even if other daughters saw it, they just laughed, "No wonder the people outside, Anguo Hou and Qingguo are good, look at these sons, they must be used to playing a little fun" Yunyun.
After each of them took their seats, Lian Rong attached it to Lu Yunlan's ear and whispered.
"Slave maid, look at it, the young master seems to be a little different from you......"
"Don't talk nonsense," Lu Yunlan glanced at her obliquely, and then said to the cuckoo as if she remembered something, "I have a handkerchief left in the house, you go and help me find it." ”
"Yes." The cuckoo was blessed and hurried away.
Only then did Lu Yunlan lower her eyes, held the teacup that was not cold or hot, and casually picked up the white porcelain teacup.
“…… He said so much, just to let me know that the two grandmothers had done something he had done. ”
"Why is that?" Lian Rong was puzzled, and she was afraid that her young lady would be wronged, "Could it be that Mama Wang is wrong?" But the slave maid...... I didn't feel ......."
Lu Yunlan shook her head imperceptibly and smiled helplessly.
"He told me, how could it be Mama Wang, naturally it was ......" Before the words were finished, the meaning had already arrived, and Lian Rong immediately reacted. It's just that she still doesn't understand what the purpose of this is.
"Miss, why did the young master do this?"
Naturally, it was because Ji Ling saw with his own eyes who was the person who damaged Gongju that day, and who specially wanted to blame her.
This guy said that he didn't see anything, but in fact, he was like a mirror in his heart.
Lu Yunlan wanted to laugh for some reason.
But...... Her heart moved slightly, thinking of what happened to Ji Ling in her previous life - she didn't die after falling from a horse, she was seriously injured in the head, and she was stupid and stupid for a lifetime, which was really pitiful.
The girl in blue sighed slightly, "...... Let's find a chance to tell him next time......"
reminded him to pay attention, it can be regarded as returning the favor, but she can do only a limited amount after all, I hope this life will be ...... Ji Ling is such an interesting person, don't be a fool easily.
Among the troupes invited by Lu Sanye are famous singers from the south of the Yangtze River, who mostly sing songs in the southern dialect. Lu Yunlan sat for a while and listened, Hua Dan and Tsing Yi were all singing softly, the tune was clear, and after a while, some people ordered "Pearl Tower", "Agarwood Fan" and other famous passages one after another, and after a while, someone came on stage and babbled and sang "Five Women's Birthday", everyone applauded, which was both appropriate and lively.
The cuckoo came back after a while, and she handed the handkerchief to Lu Yunlan, but there was a slight hesitation on her face.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Lu Yunlan asked, "But what happened to the Wind Lotus Courtyard?" ”
"Yes...... Shenando. The cuckoo said softly, "The slave saw Xue Lan enter the young lady's room, and thought that the young lady had instructed her...... He hurriedly followed. ”
"This little hoof!"
Lian Rong scolded secretly until Lu Yunlan glanced at her.
"Say, say whatever you see, and you can't flash your tongue."
The girl in blue spoke lightly, as if what the master and servant were talking about had nothing to do with her.
Xue Lan, this girl, can't hold it back.
"Slave maid...... I didn't see anything, but as soon as Xue Lan turned around and saw the slave maid, she was so frightened that the three souls were gone, and the slave and maid ...... I really think it's weird. ”
Du Juan is honest, and she looks like an old lady who works on an errand in Lancui Courtyard, and now she can talk like this, which is very unexpected for Lu Yunlan. She nodded, slightly happy, "You did a good job, I know, you two just don't know." ”
"Yes, miss."
Lianrong and Du Juan responded together, and the three masters and servants relaxed their hearts and continued to watch the play.
This play is either sung upright or upright, and the people on the stage have changed several times, and the number of people in the audience has gradually increased.
There are upstart generals who want to flatter Lu Sanye; There are old friends who want to come and ask for a glass of wine; There are also many ladies and ladies who are good friends with the little Meng family or the Meng family come to visit.
Around noon, the male guests were led out by the Lu brothers to eat and drink, and the female guests were personally led by Xiao Meng to sit in for dinner. Da Meng's also came, in fact, she didn't look alike to Xiao Meng's, but when the two sisters stood together, it made people think that they were related by blood for no reason.
Lu Yunlan has the intention to avoid this former mother-in-law, but some things are like this, the more you want to avoid it, the more you can't avoid it.
