Chapter 45: The Battle for Favor

On this day, the snow stopped in the afternoon, and the thin winter sun gave people a faint warmth.

Qiu Yulan walked to Cuiwei Pavilion with a not very good-looking face, and as soon as he entered, he saw Deng Yi frowning, sitting under the window and reading.

"Hey, aren't you here to practice martial arts? What's wrong with Wenshu? Qiu Yulan was surprised.

Deng Yi glanced at her, and his brows furrowed even more: "Why are you here?" ”

"I'd like to come over and give you some advice." Qiu Yulan squeezed his hand, and his knuckles made a crisp sound, "You're actually lazy!" ”

"The day after tomorrow is the day when my uncle will assess his homework, and I want to go back to Guangyang Palace." Deng Yi glanced at her white little hands enviously, but not envied the good-looking of these hands, but envied the power contained in these hands, "I've been squatting these days, I have to take a look." ”

Seeing that Qiu Yulan was looking around, with no intention of leaving, Deng Yi couldn't help but ask, "Do you still have something?" ”

"No......" Qiu Yulan said absentmindedly, "I just came here to take a look, lest you talk to me!" ”

Deng Yi snorted: "You are still talking? It's okay to keep shouting at me for so many days, and you want to make me angry two days ago and ruin my promise! Thankfully, I came to my senses halfway through, so I didn't let you succeed! ”

That's definitely overthinking, okay?! Normally, my festival is full...... The total amount of discipline is inherently not high, that's another matter......

Qiu Yulan was about to refute, but Deng Yi said again, "Just say what kind of crooked idea you came over!" Don't think I don't know, two days ago, Ling Xiaohou gave you a lion cat, you little girls like this kind of thing the most, and you just got it, you should stick to it all day long and refuse to let it go. You still have the time to think of me?! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why do I think your sour tone is so complaining? Qiu Yulan said seriously, "Don't you like girls?" ”

Deng Yi was stunned! His face was first red, then white, then blue, and finally he slammed down the book and shouted angrily: "It's just ...... It's shameless! ”

Do you accept incompetence in all these words? To what extent is this guy resistant to women? Looking at his disgusting and angry face, Qiu Yulan secretly wiped his cold sweat and said, "That lion cat is not what I asked for with Ling Xiaohouye. ”

In fact, it was because Su He liked the lion cat so much that they frequently snubbed Qiu Yulan, and Qiu Yulan was embarrassed to openly compete with a cat for favor no matter how much he lost his temperament - thinking of Deng Yi's ghost crying wolf howl last time when he rubbed the medicine and wine, he deliberately came over to find a balance......

The thing she hates the most now is that big white, okay?

As a result, Deng Yi's sharpness in fighting back almost killed her - he smiled nobly and coldly: "You don't need to explain to me, anyway, you and I have been empty husbands and wives in our lives, and we will never think of being husband and wife!" ”

Qiu Yulan vomited blood and said, "I'm stating the facts!! "Do I look so much like a nymphomaniac, knowing that you love you deeply and still have a deep affection for you?!

Deng Yi said indifferently: "It's best like this, no one who sends you anything in the future doesn't have to come to tell me, I don't mind at all!" ”

What if you want to hack him to death?!

Qiu Yulan took a deep breath, brushed his sleeves, and walked out!

Looking at her back in a hurry, Deng Yi felt that he was in a really good mood - but his good mood didn't last long - Qiu Yulan went and returned, not to mention, he also pinched two snowballs the size of a bowl in his hand!

"I'm calling you!" With the huge disparity in force between the two, even if poor Deng Yi jumped up immediately, he still couldn't escape being hit by a snowball head-on on the bridge of his nose! He covered the bridge of his sore nose and screamed, "The gentleman doesn't move his mouthβ€”"

"I call you noble and cold!" The second snowball smashed on Deng Yi's head, and Deng Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: "You fierce and savage shrew!" Do you dare to fight my words openly?! ”

As a result, Qiu Yulan, who was already empty in his hand, sneered, shrunk his hands into his sleeves, and when he stretched out, he took two bigger snowballs, opened the bow left and right, and smashed him all over his body!

"I told you to call me a shrew!!"

"I told you to call me fierce and savage!"

"I told you to jump around and not let me smash it!"

"I told you to stand still like a log, and I didn't smash it well!"

"I call you ......"

Half an hour later, Qiu Xianglan's cheeks were as bright as peach and plum, she stood in front of the low couch with her hands on her waist, gasping slightly, and asked, "You can't come out?!" ”

"Manly man! How can you not believe in your words?! Deng Yi's slightly dull voice came from the bottom of the couch, and he said very strongly, "If you can't say it, you won't go out!" ”

"I don't have snowballs anymore!" Qiu Yulan bent down and reached under the couch to show him.

Deng Yi was angry: "You said the same just now!" As a result, you will pour a basin of snow on you! Thought I'm going to be fooled?! ”

"Now the basin is empty." Qiu Yulan dragged the basin to the front of the couch and turned it upside down to prove his innocence.

"There's a bottle on the table, and you can put a snowball on the couch or something!" Obviously, the deception just now has exhausted Qiu Yulan's credit here in Deng Yi, Deng Yi sneered and said, "In short, if you don't leave today, I won't go out!" ”

Qiu Yulan shook his head and sighed: "Alas, are you so afraid of me? ”

"Who said I was afraid of you?!" There was a sound of grinding his teeth from the bed, and Deng Yi said in a deep voice, "I just don't bother to bother with you shrew!" ”

"Then why don't you come out? Let me get out of the way, won't you be fine? "Qiu Yulan is right.

Deng Yi vomited blood: "You get out of here!" ”

"I told you to tell me to get out!" Qiu Yulan suddenly kicked on the couch, and the old ashes at the bottom of the couch fell......

Listening to Deng Yi's violent cough, Qiu Yulan gathered her hair, tidied up her skirt, and Shi Shiran prepared to leave: "Hmph! For your sake, I'll spare you this time...... Just a weak scholar like you, you still think I'm going to fall in love with you?! If others don't say it, my cousin will dump you at least ten streets, okay?! ”

As a result, before she could say this, she heard the same breathless cough behind her!

As soon as Qiu Yulan turned around, he saw Ruan Qingyan standing at the door with a strange expression, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Qiu Yulan looked at the snow in the room with a weak heart, and stepped forward with a smile, "You just concentrate on Wen Shu, I'll take care of the affairs in the house for you first...... Belch...... These are actually Deng Yi's ones, and I'm talking about him......"

Ruan Qingyan glanced at her with complicated eyes, and said, "Since Gongzi Deng has already handed it over to me to teach, don't worry about it, don't come here casually in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Today is an accident...... Not next time! Qiu Yulan said flatteringly, "Cousin, are you here for me?" Actually, don't worry, the person you see is not my ...... anyway."

At this scene, Deng Yi crawled out in disgrace, and complained to Ruan Qingyan sadly: "Young Master Ruan! Look at your cousin! Are there any rules? ”

Ruan Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "Cousin, apologize!" ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned, this cousin has always been partial to himself, and today he is so fair? But she bullied Deng Yi for a long time anyway, and it didn't hurt to apologize, so she saluted Deng Yi hastily and said with a smile: "Deng Gongzi is really sorry, I won the snowball fight today!" ”

"You're having a snowball fight? You're just hitting me, okay!? Deng Yi gritted his teeth in his heart, and yearned for the martial arts taught by General Ruan: "Young Master Ruan, I've been squatting for several days, do you think it's time to officially teach the arts?" I think my talent for learning things is pretty good. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Yulan contemptuously: This little girl can learn so well, will I be worse than her?

Obviously, Qiu Yulan's performance of force made Deng Yi's judgment of the power of the Ruan family's family martial arts a huge error...... And Ruan Qingyan, who shocked Qiu Lulan with a casual hand, now has almost departed from mortals in Deng Yi's mind......

Ruan Qingyan frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I came here today just to teach you." ”

When he said this, he paid attention to Qiu Yulan's expression out of the corner of his eyes, but saw that this cousin did not mean to be disappointed or sneering, but said with great interest: "Cousin, I also want to learn!" ”

"No way!" Ruan Qingyan refused, "You go back to the yard to practice female red needlework!" Don't keep walking around the house! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right! Qiu Yulan's eyes rolled, and he readily agreed, and walked out with his feet raised.

Then he was stopped by Ruan Qingyan: "My five senses are sharper than you think, if you hide and peek nearby, believe it or not, I will lock you up in the Green Rose Garden and not be allowed to go out for a step?!" ”

Can you still be happily a brother and sister?! You want to be a mother so much, why don't you find a man and give birth to one yourself!

Qiu Yulan left Cuiwei Pavilion angrily, returned to Luqiang Garden, and saw Su He and the others circling around Dabai again, and didn't even pay attention to going out alone, feeling completely unbearable!

She walked over and shouted, "Suhe! ”

"The county lord has taken a nap?" Su He turned his head happily and said, "The tea has just been brewed for you, and it's on the table!" The pastries were also newly delivered...... The chestnut cake you like, Dabai also likes it! I just took a piece and put it in front of it, and it stretched out its claws to catch it...... It's a pity that the person who sent it said that it can't eat it yet......"

Qiu Yulan's face was expressionless: "Today is the second half of the first month, and my cousin will end on the ninth day of the second month!" Do you still have the leisure to revolve around a lion cat?! ”

"County Lord, do you mean ......" Hearing this, Su He and the others were all shocked, put down Dabai in a sneer, walked over and stood with his hands down, waiting for orders.

"Aunt Kang's mother and daughter came to make trouble the day after the meeting, but since we detained Kang Lizhang, everything has been calm - do you think the meanness of the Xihe Palace, as well as the methods of the Empress Dowager Gu, will be so easy to let go?" Qiu Yulan frowned and said, "Especially, there is still a queen mother's nephew living in the mansion now!" ”

Su He and the others lowered their heads in shame: "Don't dare!" ”

"So, county lord, what are we going to do now?" Qiu Yulan was satisfied with his little tricks, so he took the attention of the maids away from Da Bai, but Su He and the others were ashamed, they all got encouraged, and they all tightened their veils and looked at her with shining eyes, "We must not let them ruin my cousin!" ”

Qiu Yulan bit her lip, swallowed back the words "take a step and look at a step", and said: "If they haven't moved in the past few days, it is probably because they want to start on my cousin's way to the examination room." In that case, I would like to ...... I can only borrow someone from the Jiang family! ”

"But is the Jiang family willing to borrow it?" Su He and the others glanced at each other and said worriedly, "Didn't General Jiang Xiao hint at you last time that he didn't want to care about smashing the medicine shop?" ”

He said he didn't want to care, but he didn't know how to care! It's just that he doesn't want me to use the matter of Xihe Wangfu to completely blackmail the Jiang family. It is only a few steps from the General's Mansion to the examination room, and the Jiang family has many masters in the army for generations, and with a little escort, they can change to a young and promising talent, will they do such a good thing? ”

Qiu Yulan rubbed the corners of her forehead, her face was not very good-looking, "With this little manpower in our house, even Aunt Kang can't drive away, how can I escort my cousin to the examination room?" Even if my cousin is good at himself, but he has no eyes, how will he end up if he is injured or excited? ”

Su He was about to speak, but he hurriedly ran in and said eagerly: "County Lord!" The old general suddenly vomited blood!! ”

"What?!" Qiu Yulan stood up suddenly, "Isn't it okay before noon?!" ”

It was a bolt from the blue!
