Chapter 39: The Feast
Chen Rong stopped, took the gauze hat handed by Pingyu and put it on, and stepped in from the entrance of the side hall.
In the temple, the clothes and temples are fragrant, the dark red lantern light and the candle light are intertwined, and with the smoke drifting out of the lamp, these beautifully dressed teenagers and girls are all like the characters in the painting. Even in Chen Rong's field of vision, there are not a few who are as beautiful as her, so her arrival is far less sensational than Ran Min.
Chen Rong took a few steps, then crossed everyone's shoulders and looked in the direction of the main collapse.
At just a glance, she saw Wang Qilang, who stood out from the crowd. At this time, Ran Min was sitting with him, and the two didn't know what to say, and were clapping their palms and laughing.
Next to Wang Qilang, there were two middle-aged men with dignified appearances and a handsome young man. These three people were surrounded by everyone, and it seemed that they were from the Langya Wang clan.
When Chen Rong was still looking, he was blocked in the middle of the road, and Wang Wulang, who was arguing with his children, caught a glimpse of her, and walked strode over.
"Ah Rong."
Chen Rong was stunned and looked up.
Wang Wulang's long and handsome face looked a little gloomy in the lamplight, he looked at her and said, "Come with me, there is your place there." β
Feeling the unhappiness in his tone, Chen Rong was stunned, she stared at him, followed behind him, and walked forward.
Chen Rong's location is in the innermost part of the second row on the right, near the wall.
After Wang Wulang asked her to sit down on the table, several maidservants immediately stepped forward and put up a screen around her table.
This was not only for her, but as soon as all the ladies present sat down, a handmaid would come forward and fence their tables with a screen. The screen was only one person tall and covered with a thin layer of glowing white veil. Because the candlelight is lit on the collapse, the girls who surround the screen are a little brighter than others, of course, a little faint.
After Chen Rong sat down, Wang Wulang turned around and left. But as soon as he took two steps, he paused, turned his head to look at Chen Rong, and said in a low voice: "You sister-in-law, you are young, and your scheming is really deep." Do you think someone like Shichiro will take a fancy to you? β
He stood behind the screen, lowered his head, stared at Chen Rong contemptuously, faintly angry, and said disdainfully: "With your identity, it is difficult to find a talented person who is willing to marry you, but you are good, you don't love yourself, and you still make yourself like this." I think your life is over. β
His voice was very low, and there was no one on the collapse next to him, and no one else heard these words except Chen Rong.
Listening to these mean words, Chen Rong's heart was on fire, and he looked up at Wang Wulang with a swish.
Chen Rong stared at Wang Wulang, opening his mouth to say a few words of irony, but when he met the indignation and unwillingness in his eyes, his heart moved, so he lowered his head and said softly: "What's the difference if it's not finished?" My clan wants to give me to the king of Nanyang as a concubine. β
The voice was low, with a faint choked voice, and a subtle, seeming plea for help, as if pouring out.
Wang Wulang froze.
He pursed his lips, staring at Chen Rong's pale and fragile face in the uncertain candlelight, and unconsciously, his voice became gentle, "Give you to the old immortal of the King of Nanyang?" Chen Yuan, that guy is crazy? Didn't he know that King Nanyang just liked to collect beauties, but he never pitied them? If you go into his backyard, you're ruined! β
When he said this, Chen Rong was already crying. After a pause in Wang Wulang's words, Chen Rong said in a low voice and sobbing: "But he is my uncle, I, Wulang, I can only tell you thisγγγγγγ In her teary eyes, she quietly raised her eyes, glanced at him quickly, and lowered her head again.
It's just a glance, but the pear blossoms with rain and the white lotus dew style, it only took a moment to make Wang Wulang completely stunned.
He opened his mouth and stared at Chen Rong stupidly, without looking away for a long time.
At this time, a person called out loudly not far away: "Gorou, Goro, come here, come here." β
Wang Wulang was agitated and sobered up. He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Don't panic, I, I'll think about it." The voice was extremely gentle.
It wasn't until there was another urging that Wang Wulang left. After he took a few steps, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Rong. Looking at Chen Rong from this angle, he could only see her faint, bright and blurred figure, looking at it, he couldn't help but think: It's just that I haven't seen her for a few days, she seems to be more beautiful.
At this moment, there was also a stream of scholars entering, and after a quarter of an hour, the entire hall was already full of people.
Chen Rong, a girl, sitting in a prominent position in the second row, side by side with a group of elders, has attracted more and more attention.
Gradually, a whisper rang out, "Who is that sister-in-law?" Is the daughter of the Langya royal family? β
"No, she is the Chen family Ah Rong who played the phoenix to Wang Qilang in public. Hearing that this time she moved south, she helped the Pingcheng Wang family survive the predicament twice. It's a brilliant one. β
"Don't despise her, this sister-in-law is smart, Wang Zhuo, an old immortal, is far inferior to her."
"Yes, I heard that she was in Pingcheng, and on the eve of preparing to move south, she also made a righteous move to evacuate her family property."
In the midst of the discussion, everyone's eyes looking at Chen Rong became more and more friendly. This discussion even alarmed several people from the Langya Wang clan, causing them to all look at Chen Rong.
Listening to everyone's discussions, and feeling their gazes, Chen Rong's back straightened up more and more!
The affirmation of Chen Rongdi often means the denial of the Pingcheng Wang family. With the sound of discussion in the hall, the faces of the people of the Pingcheng Wang clan were a little unsightly.
Almost suddenly, in the corner behind Chen Rong, a young girl's somewhat shrill teasing voice came, "Chen Arong, my seventh brother is here, are you very happy to see him?" It was the voice of Han Yun, the seventh daughter of the Wang family.
The discussion stopped.
The young children in the first hall all raised their heads and stared at Chen Rong and Wang Qilang curiously.
To everyone's astonishment, at this time, Wang Qilang, who had been talking and laughing calmly, turned his head like everyone else and looked at Chen Rong's whereabouts.
In the eyes of everyone, Chen Rong behind the screen, lowered his head and twisted the corners of his clothes, and said sneering for a long time: "At that time, it was Ah Rong who was embarrassedγγγγγ Thinking about it afterwards, I was ashamed. β
When she said this, she stood up shyly, and without looking up, she walked in the direction of Wang Qilang, and said in a trembling voice: "That day, it was abruptγγγγγγ Xingqilang did not blame, so that Chen Rong had a place to stay. In the delicate voice, there is a kind of self-shame and fragility.
Wang Hong slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and stared intently at the screen behind the screen, in the light, Chen Rong, who became more and more slender and enchanting.
Not only him, but also Ran Min beside him, also turned his head at this moment and looked at her quietly.
In the quiet, Baume & Mercier laughed and struck with both hands. After his crisp slap attracted everyone's attention, Lu Zhi said loudly: "Chen Arong, what are you ashamed of? Since you are happy, you should let Shichiro know! Now that he has been informed, he should boldly chase after him. Maybe, one day Wang Qilang will be dizzy and marry you. Hahaha. β
He laughed at this, and didn't wait for others to talk about him, coughed and explained: "I mean, you sister-in-law, if you dare to do it, you have to dare to do it!" Where there is a beginning, there must be an end, you γγγγγγ He was still rambling, and Wang Hong on one side was already frowning and shouting: "Shut up!" β
Wang Hong spit out a word, and Lu Zhi immediately closed his mouth, and in order to show his obedience, he even stretched out his palm and covered his mouth tightly. Only those bony eyes were left looking at Wang Hong pitifully. This look was very ridiculous, and for a while, laughter broke out in the hall. The atmosphere that was solemn just now was swept away in a blink of an eye.
