Chapter 150: A Chance Encounter on the Mountain Road
Although the county lord of Qingjiang thought that the brothers and sisters of the Yuan family could not escape, Song Yixiao went back to the room to pack up a change of clothes, and before taking Nie Wuying to Yaohuayuan, he still went to Xiaxuan first: "Aunt Daiguo will definitely come to Buyue Xiaozhu tomorrow and ask me about her guilt, I don't want to learn her methods, so I want to avoid it, do you want to go together?" Aunt's sex. Son, you also know that if you don't leave, let her catch it, but it will not be easy to pass. β
"Not necessarily." Yuan Xuexu's complexion changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly called her brother to come out to discuss countermeasures-but Yuan Xuepei shook his head with a smile after hearing what happened, and said, "This time the prince of Fuyang is also here, I have some love for him, and he won't let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess come to trouble me in person-as for the others, they can't make it difficult for me!" β
Song Yixiao glanced at him with some surprise: According to what Jian Xubai said, the reason why they were captured by Wuhuan back then, in addition to Ji Guogong's calculations, was mainly because they were dragged down by Ji Zifu.
Therefore, since returning to the imperial capital, the relationship between Jian Xubai and Ji Zifu, the two cousins, has never been very good.
It is said that Yuan Xuepei, as a confidant of Jian Xubai, has become a cripple in Wuhuan, even if he is not angry with this Fuyang Hou Shizi, he should be rejected thousands of miles away!
How do you listen to his tone, not only does the two have a friendship, but the friendship is so deep that Ji Zifu is willing to defend him in front of his mother?
However, Yuan Xuepei didn't mean to explain, and Song Yixiao didn't want to ask much, only asked, "Are you sure?" β
Seeing him bow, she stopped persuading, only said a few words to Yuan Xuexu, agreed to meet again when she came back, and then left.
In winter, it gets dark fast, and twilight is already approaching.
The people led the way with lanterns, and the two sisters-in-law held hands, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow on the mountain road - the day of the Spring Pavilion, even in winter, is very beautiful. But at night, the shadows of the mountains and rocks, and the whimpering or cry when the wind passes through the forest, look strange and unpredictable after all.
Fortunately, there were people accompanying them before and after, and the two gossiped all the way, but they didn't feel too scared.
When he was about to arrive at Yaohuayuan, the subordinate who led the way suddenly stopped, turned around and asked: "The first part of the road is a little steep, is it a detour?" β
Song Yi smiled and thought about it for a while, there is indeed a section of the road, in order to achieve the purpose of twisting and turning, it is relatively steep, it is okay during the day, but if you walk at night, it is really a little difficult, so she bowed her head: "Take a detour!" β
This round went around to the vicinity of Lunon Pavilion, and a figure suddenly flashed on the road, so frightened that the maid who was beating her head almost threw the lanterns, and Nie Wuying, who happened to see this scene, screamed even more - the figure was about to disappear behind a rockery in a flash, but when she heard the sound, she stopped, seemed to look back, and said uncertainly: "Who is over there?" β
Hearing Su Shaoge's voice, Song Yixiao, who was also frightened, breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her sister-in-law tightly, and raised her voice: "Is it the second son of Su?" We're going to Yaohuayuan, because there is a section of the road that can't be seen clearly at night, so let's take a detour from here. β
Su Shaoge said apologetically when he heard this: "I was tired of studying, so I came out to practice swords in an open place, thinking that there was no one around here, so I didn't make a lantern, I don't want to scare you?" I'm sorry! β
"The second son is polite!" Song Yixiao was quite speechless when she heard it: Thinking that there was no one nearby, he wouldn't light the lantern? It's so dark, aren't you afraid of falling while walking?
She shook Nie Wuying's hand and was about to say goodbye, but Su Shaoge walked over to them and stood in the place where the lantern could shine - in the dim candle flame, but saw that his green shirt was down, although his robe was thin, there was no hint of coldness between his demeanor; The jade crown is tied with hair, and the white face is probably because he has just finished practicing the sword, and he is slightly flushed, and his color is like a begonia; A pair of peach blossom eyes are extraordinarily bright, looking forward to it, like a cold star.
Behind him is a seven-star long sword, looking like a chivalrous warrior fighting with a sword, heroic and compelling.
"It's dark and the road is slippery, and the lantern is not far away, I'll give a few people a ride!" He pulled the long sword into a sword flower, lightly inserted it into the scabbard at his waist, and after arching his hand, Wen Yan said, "I remember that there are a few stone steps not far ahead, and it is easy to step on the air at night. β
Song Yixiao hesitated, but considering that it was not only herself who walked at night, but also her sister-in-law-this person was just startled, and if she fell and touched it again, she couldn't explain it to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law!
So after hesitating for a moment, he bowed his head and said, "There is Lao Gongzi!" β
"Madame's words." Hearing this, Su Shaoge arched his hand again, turned around and said, "There is a mountain rock here that is slightly blocking the way, please be careful when Mrs. and Miss come over......
With him in front of him, the group walked very smoothly next, and the man was bold, listening to him introduce the road conditions along the way, not only Song Yixiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Nie Wuying quietly said to his sister-in-law when he saw the gate of Yaohuayuan: "Fortunately he is here on this road, otherwise when the wind just now, a clump of branches swept over, I almost thought it was a monster!" Luckily, he said, 'Beware of the branches hooking the hairpin ring,' and I realized it wasn't. β
Song Yi smiled: "Let's go together to thank him later!" β
Nie Wuying bowed his head - at this time, someone had already knocked on the door, and the one who opened the door was the attendant brought by Princess Yushan, and he was very surprised to see a group of people at the door. After knowing that it was Song Yixiao and Nie Wuying who came to borrow it, he hurriedly rushed in to tell him.
Then Princess Yushan almost blew out like a gust of wind - after she came out, she didn't look at the others, went straight to Su Shaoge, and said shyly and timidly: "Second son Su, thank you so much!" If it weren't for your help, I really don't know how my cousin and cousin would have come over this way......"
The corners of Song Yixiao's mouth twitched slightly, and he heard Su Shaoge say gently: "Your Highness has a good reputation." β
Immediately afterwards, he said neatly, "Since Mrs. Song and Miss Nie have arrived, and the night is already dark, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will retire!" β
Princess Yushan: "......!!! β
She didn't think of a reason to stay, Su Shaoge had already left-by this time, Jiang Muyao was late, and asked Song Yixiao in surprise: "Why did you come here?" But Her Royal Highness the Acting Princess, who came to trouble you? β
"Can we go in and talk?" Song Yi smiled and looked at Princess Yushan, who was still looking at Su Shaoge's back with resentment, and spread her hands helplessly, "It's really a little cold all the way!" β
Jiang Muyao hurriedly said: "Come in - cousin, you don't have any clothes, how can you stand in the wind?!" Let's go inside and talk! β
Song Yixiao suddenly realized why Princess Yushan came out so quickly, the tragedy is that although there was no King Zhao to dismantle the stage this time, Su Shaoge couldn't understand the amorous feelings, in the end, it still made this golden branch and jade leaf empty happy!
After a while, the group flocked into Yaohua Courtyard, Jiang Muyao asked someone to make hot tea, and ordered his henchmen to settle the subordinates brought by the two, sent away all the idlers, closed the doors and windows, and then asked with concern: "What's going on?" Does it have something to do with me? β
Song Yixiao was about to answer, but Princess Yushan said impatiently: "I'll talk about this laterβhow could he come with you?" You've been to Lunon Court? β
"I haven't even skimmed the eight characters yet, you vinegar came up first!" Song Yixiao couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, and said: "I'm afraid that I can't see the road clearly, so I took a detour, and I walked near Lunong Pavilion, and it happened that Su Ergongzi finished practicing the sword......"
Princess Yushan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "Where did he practice swords?" β
"It's not far from the rockery outside Lunon Court." Staring at Song Yixiao and carefully detailing the specific points, Princess Yushan was satisfied: "I only heard that he reads very well, but it turns out that he is both civil and military?" β
Jiang Muyao and Song Yixiao glanced at each other, both a little helpless: "The Su family is a martial heirloom, and the eldest prince of Su is still in the army!" No matter how well Su Ergongzi reads books, how can he waste his family heirloom skills? β
Princess Yushan didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly blushed, jumped up and said, "Let's talk, I'll go back to the room a little beforehand!" β
After ......seeing her go out, Jiang Muyao looked at Song Yi and smiled, and said expressionlessly, "My aunt doesn't know the real purpose of her coming here at all!" β
Song Yi turned his gaze away with a smile, pretending to be confused with a clear conscience: "Then what now?" β
"It's fine." Jiang Muyao pondered for a while, but breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief, "Anyway, I don't think Second Master Su has any thoughts about her, otherwise how could she have left so happily just now?" The concubine has no intention of having a lover, let her toss, and now she can't stop it - let's get down to business! β
Song Yixiao thought that he was not the only one who was unscrupulous, and he was not responsible for being a cousin, so he said: "When we went back, Aunt Daiguo had already returned to Ruyi Garden, but there was no news. However, I was afraid that Ming'er would be embarrassed to see my aunt, so the eldest sister suggested that we come here to borrow a night, and clean up another room tomorrow, and avoid my aunt for a while! β
Although she said it tactfully, and she used the county lord of Qingjiang as a cover, where could Jiang Muyao not hear that she was afraid of the revenge of the princess of the acting country?
"I'm dragging you down!" Jiang Muyao pursed her lips and said with some frustration, "I knew they were coming, so I wouldn't have come!" β
"I don't like to hear you say that!" Song Yixiao said disapprerovingly, "People are not weak in their hearts when they are thieves, why are you hiding?" β
Jiang Muyao heard her compare the lord of Nanzhang who snatched love with a knife to a thief, and couldn't help but laugh, and then said gloomily: "Actually, I can't say that she is a thief, after all, it hasn't been mine for a long time, it's just that I'm stupid, I will believe what that person says, I thought he wouldn't lie to me, he really would never lie to me!" β
Song Yixiao thought to herself: "As the old saying goes, the suffocation of a scholar can still be said; The woman's timidity cannot be said. It seems that it still makes sense: the reason why Jiang Muyao was deceived by King Wei is nothing more than the same situation as Princess Yushan's current situation with Su Shaoge, her eyes are full of that person, even if someone reminds her, where can she listen to it? β
She didn't mind talking to Jiang Muyao at night, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Nie Wuying's head little by little, obviously very sleepy, so she sat up straight and said, "Where is there no grass at the end of the world?" I still remember the time when Sister Jiang confronted Concubine Cui, my sister has been sick for more than half a year, and now she has recovered, doesn't she even have the usual sharpness? β
"How is that possible?" Jiang Muyao has always been a little arrogant, when she faced the Nanzhang County Lord before, if she hadn't been injured too deeply, and the Nanzhang County Lord stabbed her in the heart, she might not have been defeated, this would have been provoked by Song Yi's laughter, and she immediately swept away the decadence, raised her chin and said, "It's just a matter of mentioning it - such a person with no conscience, I'm glad it's too late to recognize his true face as soon as possible!" β
"That's right!" Song Yi smiled and quipped, "With your words, we are willing to come here tonight - by the way, is there any extra room?" If not, we're going to squeeze you in the house! β
