Chapter 129: Tent Becomes Snake Nest?
Hearing Shen Ninghua's words, Chu Junyi not only did not get angry, but laughed proudly. Maybe Shen Ninghua didn't pay attention to herself, she was becoming more and more relaxed and casual in front of her.
Thinking of Shen Ninghua, who was always on guard and used all his mind to close and protect himself, Chu Junyi felt distressed and relieved in his heart, he would definitely keep his current state, since he had already stepped into Shen Ninghua's world with one foot, he would not be driven out by her again!
Shen Ninghua didn't notice Chu Junyi's inner fluctuations at all, and after seeing that he was sarcastically ridiculed by himself, not only did he not become angry, but he also smiled with a gentle face, and suddenly felt that he was a little unreasonable, and shook his head to drive this thought out of his mind: "Bu Jinglan also invited your sister, right?" β
Chu Junyi nodded: "Well, someone has already been sent to deliver an invitation." β
"Then I'll tell you in advance, take care of her, don't let her come to me for trouble!"
There are a lot of things that have happened during this time, although she is not afraid, but she also feels tired, if Xiao Huanxi does not take the initiative to provoke her, she is too lazy to care, anyway, there is that gambling contract, Chu Junyi knows what to do, if she takes the initiative to provoke, she will not have to scruple!
"Don't worry, I'll make people look good at her."
The next day, Yang Yingxue prepared things early and waited in Shen Ninghua's yard: "Cousin, this safari should go well, right?" β
Seeing her somewhat uneasy look, Shen Ninghua felt funny: "Cousin, there are no absolutes, not to mention that there are so many people participating in the safari, and no one can ensure that they are safe and sound, so just take care of yourself." β
In Kyoto, especially among the families and royal families in Kyoto, there are people who are constantly calculating, and if they want to be safe, they might as well pray for the sun to come out of the west.
Yang Yingxue followed Shen Ninghua to several banquets, although she came back safely every time, but the process was thrilling, and she was really a little scared: "Well, I will take care of myself." Thinking of Shen Ninghua's intelligence and magic, Yang Yingxue secretly decided in her heart that when she arrived at the garden, she would definitely follow Shen Ninghua and not say a word else.
Shen Ninghua smiled, secretly thinking in his heart, although this cousin is not worry-free, he will not be able to do much in the future.
Shen Xuanlin pulled Yun Chuan and ran over, his face was full of displeasure, but he obediently saluted Shen Ninghua first: "My brother has seen my eldest sister." β
Shen Ninghua put down the comb in his hand: "Why are you here?" Don't need to practice martial arts today? β
Shen Xuanlin's body has grown a lot, and his martial arts body is also very strong, he rushed to Shen Ninghua like a calf, grabbed her sleeve and shook it: "Eldest sister, you won't call me when you go hunting, I have long said that I will hunt a red fox for my eldest sister to make a scarf!" β
Shen Ninghua laughed for a while, this kid is also honest, and he has a talent for martial arts: "I was also invited by others, but I don't have the right to take people at will." And, you're going to hunt a red fox? How many stones can a bow and arrow pull apart? β
"Thirty stones!" Shen Xuanlin proudly held his chest up.
Shen Ninghua was slightly shocked in his heart, thirty stones is not light, it can be said that he has outstanding talent among his peers, this kid has really worked hard.
Yang Yingxue on the side spoke: "Cousin, Cousin Xuanlin is very hardworking, why don't you take him with you?" β
"No, Xuanlin, the eldest sister may not be calm when she goes out this time, taking you with you is equivalent to dragging her feet, when you can protect yourself, the eldest sister will take you out!"
Shen Xuanlin lowered his head and took Shen Ninghua's hand with a somewhat helpless look: "Eldest sister, but I want to protect you......"
"Protection is not something you say, but you have to do it with actions, and now you are not qualified." Shen Ninghua didn't leave his feelings because Shen Xuanlin was still a child, living in such an environment, even a child didn't have the right to be naΓ―ve all the time, and protecting him too well was the harm to him.
"Yes, big sister, I see."
Seeing Shen Xuanlin walking out with his head down and a sad expression, Yang Yingxue paused and followed.
Bai Wei looked at Yang Yingxue's back and reminded softly: "Miss, where is the little young master......"
"It's fine."
Yang Yingxue chased Shen Xuanlin to the side of the corridor: "Cousin." β
Shen Xuanlin turned his head and looked at her suspiciously, "Cousin, what's the matter?" β
"It's nothing, it's just that you seem to be very sad just now, cousin, she didn't mean to say it so ugly, don't be angry."
"Why should I be angry?" Shen Xuanlin looked at Yang Yingxue with a concerned face, and felt angry and vigilant in his heart, did she say this to sow discord?
"Huh?"
Shen Xuanlin was vigilant in his heart, but his face was silent: "Cousin misunderstood, I know that the eldest sister said that for my own good, if it weren't for the strict requirements of the eldest sister, I would not have made great progress, I will definitely learn martial arts well, and then strive to be qualified to protect the eldest sister!" Only the weak will be discouraged by setbacks! β
The young man Yun Chuan on the side was also high-spirited: "Yes, I also want to learn martial arts to protect the county lord!" β
Watching the two teenagers run away hand in hand, Yang Yingxue was stunned in place, she just wanted to say something nice to win a little people's hearts, how did she feel as if she was being sarcastic......
Yang Yingxue gritted her teeth, but she wanted to vent her anger, but when she thought of Shen Ninghua's means, she could only put her mind down.
Shen Ninghua took Yang Yingxue, Qingque, and Bai Wei to the gate of the palace.
A lot of people have gathered at the palace gate, and the scale of this safari is also grand, and everyone can only gather at the gate of the palace, and the status is clear at a glance at this time.
The low-ranking officials are all gathered on the periphery, and they have to be careful not to block the path of the big people, although they are not trembling, they can definitely be said to be cautious.
Yang Yingxue was helped out of the carriage, and at a glance she saw Yang Yao, who was smiling at an official in the crowd, since she lived in the county lord's mansion, she had not seen her father, and she couldn't help but say a little excitedly for a while: "Father! β
Yang Yao was also stunned when he raised his head, but he hurriedly stepped forward to salute Shen Ninghua: "I've seen the county lord of Zhaohua." β
Shen Ninghua smiled: "Uncle-in-law doesn't need to be polite, since my uncle-in-law came to Kyoto, I haven't set up a banquet to entertain me, and when this safari is over, I will definitely hold a banquet to make amends to my uncle." β
"Don't dare, don't dare, the county lord has tormented the officials." Yang Yao refused repeatedly, he knew more about officialdom than Xia Jingqiu and Yang Yingxue, and naturally knew Shen Ninghua's current status, now even the emperor's serious Princess An Ning and Princess Anqing were not favored by her, and no one could easily offend Shen Ninghua.
Seeing her father's flattering expression, Yang Yingxue's heart trembled, and a feeling of humiliation rose from her heart, at the beginning in Jiangnan, her father had always been the object of flattery, but now he has to cater to others with trembling, power can really crush people!
Shen Ninghua didn't stop long, and walked towards the position of Princess An Ning after saying a few words.
Yang Yao hurriedly motioned for Yang Yingxue to follow.
Yang Yingxue took two steps, and couldn't help but look back at Yang Yao, but saw the official who had just ignored his father's flattery, and was smiling at this time:
"Brother Yang, it turns out that you are a relative of the county lord of Zhaohua, why didn't you say it earlier, when the safari is over, there will be a banquet in Qinyang Building, Brother Yang should not refuse......"
Bai Wei took two steps back and reminded softly, "Miss Yang, it's time to go." β
Yang Yingxue shuddered, hurriedly retracted her gaze, followed Shen Ninghua's footsteps, but there was a trace of fire in her lowered eyes, she also wanted to be like Shen Ninghua, sought after by everyone, enjoying the best of everything, and making her father proud!
Bai Wei blinked, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Power is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that it is a double-edged sword, and it may hurt yourself from time to time, depending on how to pursue it. Judging from the look just now, this Miss Yang is afraid that she will really climb up at all costs as Miss expected.
I don't know if it's because of Chu Junyi's warning, Shen Ninghua didn't see Xiao Huanxi's shadow along the way, until he came to the destination, the guards began to set up tents, and Xiao Huanxi, who was dressed in a royal blue dress, came over with two maids.
"I've seen the county lord."
"Miss Xiao is polite."
"Is this the county lord's tent?" Xiao Huanxi turned around and looked at the guards who were busy in the open space behind him and asked.
Shen Ninghua smiled: "The scenery here is good, it is very suitable as a campsite, where does Miss Xiao plan to live?" β
"I'm not as good as the county lord, I live on the periphery like other official ladies. Without bothering the county lord, I left first. β
Xiao Huanxi left, and Bai Wei said a little strangely: "Miss, this Miss Xiao came all the way to say a few words?" β
A smile filled Shen Ninghua's eyes: "If she doesn't have any purpose, I'm afraid she won't come to see it, just look at it." β
After the camp was set up, everyone went into the tent to rest and prepare for the official start of the safari tomorrow.
Shen Ninghua entered the set up tent and looked around.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Shen Ninghua hooked the corners of her lips and coldly spit out a few words: "The inappropriateness here is a big deal, Bai Wei, do you remember the appearance of the few guards who helped us camp today?" β
"The slave only remembers two people, and the other ......" There are too many people today, and she can't react.
Qingque on the side spoke: "Miss, all the slaves and maids remember." β
"Okay, Qingque, you go to Chu Junyi, tell him the appearance of a few people, and let him find a way to control these guards, and don't let them commit suicide or be killed."
"Yes, miss."
Bai Wei was a little flustered: "Miss, but those people did something when they were camping?" β
Shen Ninghua looked around the tent: "Someone took advantage of the camping time to bury the pollen of the nightshade on the ground, there is a poisonous snake that likes to smell this kind of pollen the most, and it is not expected that in the middle of the night, this place will become a nest of snakes!" β
"Ahh Bai Wei couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaimed, whose mind is so vicious?
"Miss, let's change the tent quickly!"
Shen Ninghua's eyes were deep: "We want to change it, but not now." β
It's best not for Xiao Huanxi to do this matter, if she finds evidence to prove that it was her black hand, Chu Junyi's bet will be lost.
