Chapter 15: The String Intention Takes the King's Heart (Part II)
At this time, the gate of Du Mansion looked solemn and solemn, and the fallen leaves were silent.
The third prince of the Gao Wangfu slowly kicked down with the support of the head of the palace, crossed to the front of Mrs. Liu, lightly opened his lips, and said "no courtesy" and "please", and then put on a posture of please.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly put away the gesture that the salute had been completed, walked aside, and led the third prince to the welcome hall of the Du Mansion. On the other hand, he instructed his subordinates to hurry to the hall to replace the fragrant tea decorations, and wait in the hall to call for thoughtfulness.
When you arrive at the hall, sit down.
The third prince teaed with the upright fragrant tea in his hand without saying a word, blew the lid and mouthpiece, and tasted it. In the middle, there are a few 'tsk' compliments, as if they are enjoying themselves.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Liu didn't dare to ask more, and she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the three sons, so she had to wait aside and adapt to the situation.
After tasting a cup of fragrant tea, the third prince seemed to suddenly come to say with interest. "Mrs. Liu, it's really my son's fault to disturb your mansion today, and I ask Mrs. Liu to forgive me. In the future, this son must have thanked him in person. ”
Mrs. Liu hurriedly responded, "The third prince is polite, I'm afraid that the Du Mansion is not well entertained, and I hope that the third prince will be more provocative, and the old man is grateful." ”
"Hey, Mrs. Liu, I won't interrupt any other gossip. Time is pressing, let's get into the topic, can Mrs. Liu give my son a little thin noodles, and please invite Dong Yanzhi, the stunning woman in your mansion who is superb in piano, chess, and music, to come out and meet? ”
After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, the third prince immediately cut into the purpose of coming today. Since he is not vain and does not disdain it, it seems that he does not intend to give Mrs. Liu a chance to delay his breathing.
Mrs. Liu seemed to be surprised and said, "Ouch, this, third son, what kind of stunning woman in my family is the best at piano, chess, and music?" It's not all those people with bad intentions outside, who indiscriminately put a high hat on our Du Mansion. The old body has to ask the third prince to take more rest, and return a clean slate for the reputation of Du Mansion. After saying that, Mrs. Liu looked at the third prince of the 'Gao Wangfu' very carefully, for fear that she would anger the person in front of her who was not of ordinary status and power by shirking it like this.
"Oh, in this way, Du Mansion doesn't have this stunning woman with the best skills in piano and chess? Where is it so boiling outside, and what does Mrs. Liu say? The third prince held the teacup in his hand, just put it to his mouth and pressed it down again. It seemed that he didn't feel much interest in this unhurried question.
Mrs. Liu was just about to explain, but unexpectedly, Mr. Wang, who was on the side, took the lead and said coldly. "Mrs. Liu, you won't even look down on the third prince of our 'Gao Wangfu', right? The third prince is a popular person in front of the lord of the country, and how many women in this world are looking forward to it is still out of reach. The people of your Du Mansion are good, and they set up a big shelf first. Even the third prince came to visit in person, and put up a face, I think this is yours. As he spoke, he lengthened the latter sentence and accentuated his tone heavily. It makes people feel yin and biting, not yin and yang.
The third prince immediately squinted and glanced at Manager Wang coldly, as if he blamed him for being too talkative for a while, "Manager Wang, you step down, it's not your turn to speak here." As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table again, and then said, "Mrs. Liu, you say, don't worry about this old minion." Mr. Wang consciously felt bored, answered, and quietly retreated.
Only then did Mrs. Liu respond soothingly, "Third son, I do have a little girl like Dong Yanzhi in my family. But she is not a stunning woman with outstanding piano and chess skills, as it is rumored outside. Besides, the Dong girl in my family is too strong and too steel, and the old body is afraid that she will sweep away the interest of the third son. When the time came, it was angry and affected the fishing pond, so he didn't dare to rashly ask Dong Yatou to meet the third son. After speaking, he looked suspiciously at the third son who was drinking tea alone.
The third prince waited for Mrs. Liu to finish speaking, and slowly pondered for a while before raising his voice and speaking leisurely. The sunshine in the words is unclear, and the reality of holding it is even more visible.
"Look, look, Mrs. Liu is serious. This son is neither the ten vicious and stubborn people, nor the unreasonable and vulgar people, so why do you have a niece who sees evil like this? Could it be that Mrs. Liu refuses to give this son a few thin noodles? Or Mrs. Liu still can't trust her son's personality? ”
Mrs. Liu was forced to cry out by the words of the third prince, and it was difficult to refuse bluntly for a while, so she made a stalemate. She replied in a trembling voice. "Third son, you are serious. The old body is just telling the truth, so dare to slander the third son of Bai. If you don't believe it, you will know when you see my niece, is what the old man said true? ”
At this time, the third prince of the Gao Wangfu still did not express his position, and always played with the tea set in his hand alone, drinking the fragrant tea in his cup alone. In the meantime, he always glanced out of the hall, intentionally or unintentionally.
After Mrs. Liu finished speaking with difficulty, she saw that the third prince was not green, and she couldn't guess what the third prince meant for a while. I was so anxious that I was sweating slightly on my forehead, and my heart was beating nonstop. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned around and shouted to Du Ruhe, who was sitting with him. "Son, you go back to the Hexin Courtyard quickly and invite Dong Yanzhi to come to the lobby to meet the third prince of the Gao Wangfu. By the way, find an old woman and carry the guqin together, so as not to wait and turn it over blindly. ”
Du Ruhe seemed to be relieved of the caged rabbit, said "um", hurriedly stood up and ran straight to the small garden in the backyard.
Du Ruhe entered the small courtyard and saw Dong Yanzhi leaning in front of the windowsill, looking at a cluster of red-spit plum branches that came into front of the window. Du Ruhe immediately exclaimed, "Sister Yanzhi, hurry up and get ready, and follow me to the front hall to meet the third prince of King Gao's Mansion." As he spoke, he stopped for a while, so that people were prepared, and he took Dong Yanzhi's hand and was about to go out.
Dong Yanzhi raised her eyes and said listlessly.
"Sister Ruhe, I won't join in the fun. These noble sons of the palace are all a humble ugly appearance. Seeing a woman with a little bit of grace is like seeing a golden baby, and even the soul is lost, and I can't wait to take a bite. Happy today, as soon as the wine glass got drunk and said that he liked your foolish words, the Ming Dynasty woke up and threw you to the back of his head. I hate these swinger brothers, and I hate their behavior even more, but they are not as good as my Qiusheng brothers. ”
After finishing speaking, he ignored Du Ruhe for a while, and sat directly in front of the piano table next to him and carefully looked at a guqin on the table.
Du Ruhe pursed her lips and said with a smile. "Sister Yanzhi, I'm afraid I can't help you this time. People want to see you by name, and they also say that they want to listen to your solo piano, chess, and music. If you don't go, I'm afraid that you will lose the kindness of the third son. When the time comes, we will be furious on the spot, maybe we will not be able to eat and walk around. After that, he finally put on a helpless look and clubbed in the house.
"Heh, heh," Dong Yanzhi smiled, and finally shook her head. "That's because you, Du Fu, are afraid of causing trouble and losing face. I'm different, after the trouble of Lei Xiangfu, I finally understand what's going on. It's a big deal if I squat in a cage again, can they still destroy our Du Mansion? As he spoke, a face of indignation and hatred emerged.
"Oh, Sister Yanzhi, don't be reckless. Okay, okay, I know that you Dong Yanzhi are not afraid of things, but you have to think about it for my mother. She is a person who is more than 100 years old, and she is really in prison because of this, and she doesn't necessarily want you Dong Yanzhi to get there. Du Ruhe coldly said this sentence behind Dong Yanzhi's back, like a long sword piercing her heart.
Dong Yanzhi was speechless for a moment and hesitated slightly. Glancing out the window, he finally sighed and bowed his head and sighed.
"Well, for the sake of your mother and my aunt, then I will go to meet the third son of this 'Gao Wangfu'."
Du Ruhe breathed a sigh of relief, and finally turned around and waved to the old woman who was standing on the side. "Don't worry about it anymore, you go and move Miss Dong's guqin to the front hall as well."
The old woman who served hurriedly turned around and moved the guqin as if she had received an order.
Dong Yanzhi packed up and walked to the hall with Du Ruhe. Before he reached the gate of the main hall, he saw the three sons of the 'Gao Wangfu' rushing down from their seats. greeted him, and then bowed down and humbly entered the hall of the Du Mansion together.
The third prince suddenly opened a stiff face with a happy and pleasant smile, leaned in, and said with a smile. "Miss Dong is really a mortal fairy who is rare in the world, no wonder this Han Baiyi cares about you so nervously. If it were me, I wouldn't have loved the beauty so much. ”
At this moment, before Dong Yanzhi could salute the third son, she heard such a straightforward obscenity. There is naturally a slight sourness in the heart, which makes people want to vomit. However, in front of so many people, it is not good to blush people's faces as soon as they meet, which is embarrassing, so I have to endure the unhappiness in my heart and bow my head and smile bitterly.
The third prince is probably also a shrewd and intelligent person, and at a glance, he saw Dong Yanzhi's embarrassed face and seemed to be displeased, and he already understood the subtle relationship. Maybe it was because the words I said just now were a bit too straightforward, which hurt the heart of the beauty, and then rushed to the topic.
"I heard that Miss Dong is also a good hand in the piano and a fairy in the song. Today's visit is really abrupt, but he is full of admiration and affection. If it is not my son's uninvited, I still hope that Miss Dong is more considerate, and my son is grateful and happy. ”
Dong Yanzhi looked at the polite and ceremonial posture of the third prince of the Gao Wangfu, and the trace of disgust that had just been born in her heart immediately sprouted.
I thought that the noble son of the prince of the palace could know his mistakes in time and correct them, which was already commendable, and it was always better than Han Gongzi to understand things. Although I'm tired of it, I don't want to say much about it, but I have to take care of this piece of sincerity of others, and I can't lose my etiquette.
Therefore, when Dong Yanzhi decided to return the courtesy, something happened that even she didn't expect. I saw Dong Yanzhi moving forward, like a graceful girl, walking towards the third prince affectionately.
Less than five feet away from the third son, Dong Yanzhi's body suddenly leaned forward and backward and shook violently a few times, with a bang, and fell down like a green onion on dry land.
For some reason, everyone in the hall suddenly became a mess. You ignore me, I ignore you, screaming and pounced on Dong Yanzhi who fell in the center of the hall.
Mrs. Liu was even more anxious, hugging Dong Yanzhi and shouting, "Yanzhi... Yan Zhi... What happened to you...... ”
