Chapter 43: Sisters
As soon as Chen Rong stepped into the steps, the door of the hall opened, and a gust of incense came to his nose, and the scholars walked out, but it was a feast.
Chen Rong was stunned, she hurriedly avoided in the corner, stood there, looking at Wang Wulang's figure in the figure building, a trace of chagrin flashed in her eyes. Throughout the night, she didn't find another chance to be alone with Wang Wulang.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Rong followed the flow of people and rushed to the square where the carriage was parked.
Next to the carriage, Pingyu and Shangsuo were all there. When they saw Chen Rong approaching, they hurriedly surrounded her, looking at her with sparkling eyes.
Shang Su smiled and said, "Girl, girl, have you seen the rest of the Langya Wang clan?" Are they the same as Wang Qilang, they also have the appearance of immortals? ”
Concubine Ping poked him on the side and asked, "Girl, did you borrow the help of the people in the palace during the banquet just now?" They are both from Pingcheng and us, and we have a lot of help from you along the way. The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you can ask the prince to help you persuade your uncle. The best thing is that Wang Wulang promised to marry you. ”
When Chen Rong heard this, she smiled bitterly, she shook her head, and said to Pingfei: "Fei, you think things are too simple. ”
With that, she passed the two of them and climbed into the carriage.
After Chen Rong got into the carriage, he didn't drive immediately.
The people in this square, in terms of status, she can be said to be the lowest. She didn't want to compete with people who had a lot of potential.
After half an hour, the square was empty, and Chen Rong's carriage slowly drove out of the palace.
At this time, the streets of Nanyang were already pitch black. Only under the eaves of those Zhu Menhuadi, there are still dark red lanterns fluttering.
When I came out just now, I was fine, but after walking only a few steps, a drizzle suddenly fell in the sky.
Chen Rong sat in the carriage, looking back at the palace shrouded in drizzle through the curtain. The gate of the palace was opened, and the voices of people inside were faint, and on both sides of the gate, eight lanterns inlaid with gold leaf, were constantly swaying in the drizzle. The dim red lights swayed in the rain.
Chen Rong glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
It was not far from the palace to the Chen Mansion, and half an hour later, her carriage drove silently into the Chen Mansion compound and into her courtyard.
As soon as Chen Rong stepped out of the carriage, he heard a burst of laughter from Chen Wei's courtyard next door. She didn't pay attention to it, and when she continued to walk forward, a girl's voice came from outside her courtyard gate, "Ah Rong is back?" I said you minion, open the door quickly! ”
As soon as the girl drank, the courtyard door squeaked open.
In the blink of an eye, five or six girls in fancy clothes poured in, and the sound of chirping filled the entire courtyard.
Chen Rong raised his head, looked at the sky where the dark clouds had disappeared and the bright moon had reappeared, and secretly thought: Why did the rain stop? If it's still raining, these girls won't come in the rain, hey, alas.
As soon as the girls came in, Pingyu and the others hurriedly got up. After a while, her study was brightly lit, and the wine and meat were fragrant.
Chen Qian raised her head, looked at the bamboo slips in the room, and said with a smile: "I heard people from Pingcheng say that Ah Rong, you are not a person who likes to read. In that case, why do you have so many books in this study? Is it elegant? ”
Chen Rong, who was sitting on the main floor, lowered his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, and replied softly: "Who said I don't study?" ”
Chen Qian was stunned.
She tilted her head and looked at Chen Rong, thinking of irony, and suddenly thought that her performance for a while was really not something that a person who didn't read could have. He flattened his mouth and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong." ”
At this time, Chen Wei, who was sitting in the corner and had been silent, suddenly shouted: "Ah Rong, did you say that General Ran doesn't want me anymore?" Did you say I bullied you? ”
The further the sound goes, the more it gets a little out of control.
Chen Rong raised his head.
Her eyes widened, she looked at Chen Wei in astonishment, and unconsciously, she reached out to cover her left cheek, which had been slapped by her, and said in surprise: "When did I say that General Ran doesn't want you?" When did you say you bullied me? ”
Chen stood up slightly, she pointed her middle finger at the tip of Chen Rong's nose tremblingly, and shouted, "If you hadn't said it, why would everyone laugh at me like this?" You, you're still covering your face, do you want everyone to know that I slapped you like that? ”
Chen Rong hurriedly let go of her hand, she half-lowered her eyebrows, and said seriously, seriously: "Ah Wei, I dare to swear, I never said that General Ran didn't want you. I never said you bullied me. ”
In the candlelight, Chen Rong's eyes were so dark that she looked at Chen Wei, and said a little puzzled: "This marriage is arranged by her own parents. Since it is the order of your parents, how could General Ran not want you? ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Wei fell silent.
Slowly, a smile appeared on her face.
At this moment, Chen Qian shouted impatiently on the side: "Okay, don't talk about these boring words." ”
She is the daughter of Nanyang's lineage, ranked second, and her status is higher than that of the girls here, as soon as she spoke, Chen Rong and Chen Wei both bowed their heads and responded: "Yes." ”
"Ah Rong, tell me quickly, who did you see in the palace just now?"
As soon as Chen Qian said this, she looked up and saw Chen Rong's beautiful and charming face under the light, and suddenly her voice was mentioned, interrupting her who was about to answer, "Okay, let's not mention this matter for the time being." You tell us, have you met Wang Qilang? What did he say when he confronted you? ”
As soon as Chen Qian's voice fell, seven or eight little faces turned around, staring at Chen Rong with interest, just waiting for her answer.
Looking at these impatient eyes, Chen Rong's mouth opened, she wanted to tell them that Wang Qilang didn't blame her for spitting on her at all, on the contrary, he also comforted her gently.
But these words can't be said like this, and if they are not handled well, the future will be even more difficult.
Her eyes drooped, and a look of exhaustion appeared on her little face.
Chen Rong's expression greatly amused the women. Chen Qiange smiled and said, "I'll just say it." was confessed in public by someone of your status, and bluntly said that he wanted to be his wife. This is really an insult to the noble and incomparable Wang Qi. Don't say it's you, even I, I'm not worthy of being his wife. ”
Chen Wei also seemed to have a fire, she covered her mouth, and her eyes were bent into a line with a smile.
Just when the women were laughing happily, Chen Rong hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a very secret, seemingly happy and satisfied snicker.
This expression made Chen Wei and the other women who saw it stunned, and when they stared at Chen Rong carefully, Chen Rong stood up, she said to the women, and said tiredly: "Sisters, I'm really tired." ”
"Hmph, who's impatient to stay with you?"
Chen Qianyun flicked her sleeves and turned around and left with the women.
Looking at the girls who were getting farther and farther away, Pingyu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Hey, when the girls were young, they always messed around in the boys' pile, and you were the only girl in the house, and you didn't even have any experience in getting along with girls." Just now, you should have waited for them to get tired of it and wanted to leave, and you should stay enthusiastically, so that it is in line with the way sisters get along. ”
Chen Rong just smiled, and she said in a low voice: "Concubine, prepare hot soup, I'm going to bathe." ”
"Yes."
