Chapter 8 Winning the Lottery
When Yuan Ziyan heard others talking about the Su family sisters, her face was very ugly. She secretly complained about Cheng Ying's horn voice, obviously she had just told her not to say it, no, she poked it out in public.
"Okay, although the affairs of the Su family have passed for a year, the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are still taboo, you have to mention it again!" Yuan Ziyan said coldly,
The girl in the pavilion was suddenly silent, and she didn't dare to squeak anymore, for fear of getting into trouble.
Yin Xiaojun's face was pale, she took a sip of tea from the blue and white porcelain teacup, and said nothing, while Cheng Ying tilted her head, not caring at all, she didn't understand what happened to the Su family, but the girl's family was always right.
Back then, the prince alluded to Su Yun'er for cooperating with her brother, causing the queen to give Su Yun'er a white silk, which was just an excuse for the royal execution of Su Yun'er, she didn't believe it, she didn't have much contact with Su Xiang and the two masters of the Su family, but she couldn't understand Su Yun'er's character anymore, Su Yun'er's beautiful scenery was by no means the kind of person who secretly harbored evil intentions.
Yuan Ziyan asked again if anyone had guessed the riddle correctly, and many people shook their heads again.
Ye Yun raised her eyebrows and looked at the poem with a sly sneer, today is bound to make Ye Xi in the limelight, she believes that what happened in the Bai family must not escape Bai Jian's eyes,
She wants to make Ye Xibo eyeballs, let Bai Jian notice the Ye family, and then pave the way for Ye Huai to take office.
Ye Yun pulled her sister Ye Xi, who was standing in front of her, and said a few words in a low voice.
Ye Xi was stunned, but she knew that she shouldn't ask more at this time, but should seize the opportunity to fight for the interests of the Ye family.
Ye Xi took a slight step, walked out of the crowd, blessed Yuan Ziyan, and calmly replied: "He is thousands of miles away, but he is not showing off his talents." Increase learning to help the mystery, and the local people are like sparse children. This is a clutch poem, the first two sentences of the prefix 'He' and 'Ke' can separate 'people', and the last two sentences 'Zeng' and 'soil' can separate 'Zeng', and the two words are combined into the word 'monk'. Therefore, the riddle is exactly a 'monk' word! ”
Ye Xi's explanation surprised everyone!
Not only the girls who were watching, but also Cheng Ying and others who were sitting looked at her in surprise.
This girl is very raw, where did she come from? She actually guessed Su Yun'er's poem correctly?
Ye Yun stood in the crowd, lowering his eyebrows slightly, his face was as heavy as water, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Since she returned to the capital alive, she will not let the Su family die in vain, she believes that her father and brother will not do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, the Su family lost the battle and cheapened the northern alien Tatars, what is the benefit to the Su family? Daddy and brother don't dig their own graves!
The matter of the Su family, she is bound to find out!
Everyone's stunned eyes fell on Ye Xi for a while before he came back to his senses.
"This sister is so beautiful!"
"That's right, this sister is both talented and beautiful, and even Su Yun'er's poetry riddle can be solved!"
"Isn't it, Su Yun'er was only crowned in the capital back then, if it weren't for her poor health and not showing up often, it is estimated that the name of the first lady in the capital would have fallen on her instead of her sister!"
"Look at what you said, I heard that Su Yun'er doesn't compete with the women of the boudoir, and she doesn't care about these false names!"
There was a lot of noise in the Lianxiang Pavilion for a while, and seeing someone praising Ye Xi's beauty and talent, Mu Yancui on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes coldly, while Yin Xiaojun's gaze looked at Ye Xi with a little sharpness.
Seeing that she was slim and elegant, like a spring moon, and her beauty was not under herself, she felt a sense of color in her heart for a while.
"This girl has very good eyes, I don't know which sister you are?" Yin Xiaojun asked gracefully and coldly.
"Yes, yes, this sister, what's your name?" Cheng Ying's voice was like a pearl falling to the ground, crisp and loud.
Ye Xi gave a salute to several girls, and said generously: "My name is Ye Xi, I am fifteen years old this year, my father is stepping down from the prefect of Yangzhou, and will be transferred to the capital, and now I live in my grandmother Mu's house!" ”
When everyone heard this, they knew that the daughter of the prefect of Yangzhou also dared to come to the banquet, it turned out to be the idea of currying favor with Bai Jian, and everyone couldn't help but show a sneer on their faces for a while.
Ye Xi was a little embarrassed, but he tried to keep a decent smile.
Cheng Ying had a good impression of her, and she was surprised to be able to guess Su Yun'er's poems, thinking that Ye Xi was also a talented person, so she opened her bright eyes to excuse her, "Haha, Sister Ye Xi, don't be embarrassed, you come here, either to please the old Bai Ge, or to take a fancy to the old Bai Ge talent, everyone is the same!" ”
Cheng Ying's straightforward words broke everyone's minds, but they couldn't be annoyed, and they didn't know who took the lead, so everyone actually laughed.
Ye Xi's heart was much more comfortable, and he was deeply grateful to Cheng Ying, and he also had a good impression.
Ye Yun smiled faintly and shook her head, in her previous life, she was cold, and she almost never cared about things that were not of her interest, so even if Cheng Ying often followed behind her sister, she didn't pay much attention to her, and when she saw this scene today, she found that the little girl was optimistic and straightforward, not hiding it, very happy, but she liked it a little.
Cheng Ying pulled Ye Xi to ask questions, Yin Xiaojun also occasionally interjected a few words, but Yuan Ziyan was left aside, she suddenly felt that Ye Xi had stolen her limelight, and her heart was not very happy, as the master, she immediately put on a dignified and generous appearance to entertain the girls.
Later, some stayed here to talk to a few celebrities, and some knew that they couldn't climb the high branches, so they went to play elsewhere, and most of the people in the Lianxiang Pavilion dispersed.
Cheng Ying talked to Ye Xi for a long time, and asked her what books she reads on weekdays, Ye Xi was embarrassed to answer the truth, "It's just some romance books, popular travelogues, women's rings and the like." After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Ye Yunlai, who was standing next to the water pavilion and watching the fish.
Cheng Ying nodded weakly when she heard this, feeling a little strange, maybe when she saw someone who could solve Su Yun'er's mystery, she would always think that the other party should be a character with a similar character to Su Yun'er, but she also knew that she was thinking too much, so she immediately smiled.
"Actually, the reason why I followed Sister Shuang'er before was because I really wanted to get close to Sister Yun'er, and I heard my brother and cousins praise her too much, so I couldn't help but want to see what kind of woman she was, but unfortunately she was indifferent and difficult to approach!"
As soon as Cheng Ying said this, Ye Yun, who was not far away, suddenly looked stunned, and was a little stunned, in her previous life, she was like this in the eyes of the world?
She really didn't know, and even she didn't know why the royal family wanted to kill her, not to kill a famous lady in the world, but to kill her a weak woman who stayed at home and committed Shen Ke.
Hearing Cheng Ying's words, she was a little apprehensive, in her previous life, she had been living in her own world, and because of her poor health, she had already looked down on life and death, and she never paid much attention to people or things other than her relatives.
It turned out that Cheng Ying was good with her sister, but it originated from her!
Ye Yun shook her head and smiled, a little helpless in her accident, she took a plate of fish food from the painting screen, and sprinkled it into the water little by little, there were a lot of goldfish gathered under her skirt.
The breeze was sticking to the water with a scent of moon flowers, Ye Yun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and looked at the opposite bank, but unexpectedly found that there was a figure in white by the lake on the shore, because it was too far away, she only saw the shadow of the white dress, vague, but a little familiar.
She was just as she stepped forward to take a closer look, when the white shadow turned into the two bushes and disappeared, so that Ye Yun suspected that it was her hallucination.
When Cheng Ying was chatting with Ye Xi, her eyes inadvertently touched Ye Yun who was standing on the wide platform outside the curtain, and saw her pinching the fish food in her hand, her eyes were shallow, the corners of her lips were lazy and smiling, and her expression was indifferent to everything.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt that Ye Yun's demeanor was very familiar, but she couldn't say why, she was just instinctively attracted to her, and while listening to Yin Xiaojun and Ye Xi talking, she looked at Ye Yun blankly.
Ye Xi is a delicate character, just right to praise a few words of Yin Xiaojun, leaving no traces, Yin Xiaojun is not as cold as before, talking to her, the more he talked, the more he talked about the fresh patterns in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the embroidery styles of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and these are the areas that Ye Xi is familiar with, the more the two of them talk, even the girls of the Cui family and the Yu family also joined in the fun.
Although Ye Xi is not as good as the girl here in terms of identity, her conversation gives people the feeling of a spring breeze, and everyone is completely inseparable from her.
After a while, an old lady from Baifu came over and beckoned the girls to dinner.
The Ye sisters went to the inner courtyard with Cheng Ying and others, and the ladies and ladies sat separately, originally Ye Xi and Ye Yun sat on the table in the open hall by Mu Yancui, but for some reason, a grandmother in Baifu specially invited Ye Xi to be a VIP seat in the inner hall with Cheng Ying and them.
When she heard the news, many girls in the open hall threw surprised and even envious glances at Ye Xi, and Ye Xi was naturally very surprised, she looked at Ye Yun.
I don't know why, she is always the one who makes up her mind on weekdays, but today she can't help but look at Ye Yun.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Yun's eyes, but he nodded lightly at her.
Ye Xi asked Mu Yancui to take care of his sister Ye Yun, got up and bowed generously to his grandmother, and followed inside.
"Didn't you guess a riddle correctly? As for letting her sit in the VIP seat because of this, the daughter of the prefect of Yangzhou? ”
Some of the bold girls in the open hall chewed their tongues, and some whispers began to be whispered.
A girl at the same table asked Mu Yancui and Ye Yun curiously: "I see that Sister Ye Xi is very close to Miss Cheng and Miss Yin today, and it is estimated that the two sisters called her to go!" ”
Mu Yancui's face was slightly cold, and he answered casually: "You guessed wrong, this is the Bai Mansion, and the only people who can call the shots are Mrs. Bai and Old Bai Ge!" ”
The girl at the same table was surprised when she heard this, so that Ye Xi was more decent.
Mu Yancui looked around at the servants in the Bai Mansion who were preparing to serve the food with his head held high, and said to Ye Yun intentionally or unintentionally: "Your sister is lucky, what a rare opportunity to impress the old Bai Pavilion!" Mu Yancui couldn't say that she was happy or jealous.
Ye Yun lowered his eyebrows when he heard this, raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and did not make a sound.
Mu Yancui can say these two sentences, at least it shows that she is not stupid, first she can see that it is the Bai family's idea, and secondly, she can see that it is Bai Jian's meaning. No matter how big Cheng Ying and Yin Xiaojun's faces are, it is impossible for them to point fingers in other mansions, only it may be the master of the Bai family, and Old Madam Bai is not a delicate and transparent person no matter how she looks at it, so it can only be Bai Jian's meaning.
It seems that Bai Jian is really not simple, he is a deep-thinking master, and just such a trivial matter caused his idea not to mention, and even directly asked her sister to sit at the table.
Ye Yun herself was also very puzzled, no matter how smart she was, she couldn't understand that Bai Jian raised her value and let her be a seat just because Ye Xi guessed a riddle?
It's a bit capricious to do this!
No matter what, it's a good thing for the Ye family, if you can notice Ye Xi, you will definitely pay attention to Ye Huai, it seems that Ye Huai's affairs should be fine.
After Mu and Mrs. Zhou in the inner hall heard the girl's report, they were stunned for a while, and the girl roughly talked about the things in the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion, and the old lady and Mrs. Mu knew about it, and they were all happy.
The Ye family and the Mu family are close to each other, and it is a good thing that the Ye family girl is valued by Bai Jian.
Mu Shi and Mrs. Zhou are both understanding people, and they immediately knew that this was what Bai Jian meant, and Mu Shi was greatly relieved, this trip was too worthwhile.
Mrs. Zhou had other guesses, this Bai Shangshu shouldn't have taken a fancy to Ye Xi, otherwise why would she be at the table because of such a little thing, and promote her so much?
Old Lady Zhou took a deep look at Mu Shi and decided to go back and talk about it.
After lunch, the subordinates of the White Mansion led the lady and the young lady to watch the singing, and the old men in front of them drank wine, played chess, and chatted in the open courtyard in the east. The house is very popular, and it is bustling everywhere, and it is much more lively than in the morning.
Ye Yun sent a picture screen to inform Ye Xi and asked Ye Xi to play with Cheng Ying and them, and she came to the shore of the lake in the morning.
She had been thinking about the white shadow in her heart, and she wanted to find out.
There are also people walking and enjoying the winding corridor or water pavilion on the lake, but a small forest between the lake shore and the flower hall is dark and uninhabited.
The painting screen had already got her orders, and quickly followed, Ye Yun came to the stone path between the two bushes according to the inference, looked up slightly, and saw that there was a two-story eaves hidden under several big trees, she suddenly had a trace of curiosity, her eyes were glued to the attic, and she walked in step by step.
The painting screen followed behind in a bit of confusion, "Miss, is it appropriate for us to go in?" This is Baifu after all! "The screens with relatively large nerves feel a little inappropriate.
Ye Yun shook his head slowly, "It's okay, I'll just take a walk, and when others ask, they will say that they are lost." ”
"Really? It's so close to the lake, are you embarrassed to say that you got lost and strayed into it? ”
A cold voice rang out suddenly.
