Chapter 177: A Thrush
Su Qianyun took it suspiciously, and after glancing at Su Xiyun, she slowly picked one and put it in her mouth. When you bite it gently, your mouth is suddenly full of sweetness. She ate it slowly, and then said in surprise: "This thing doesn't taste sour, is it a grape?" ”
Giggled and said: "Naturally, it's grapes, but it's the grapes of Fanbang, not what we can have, this thing is actually good-looking, in fact, it's not as good as the grapes we have here." Come on, come on, Xiyun, you can try it too. As she spoke, she reached out and took a string and handed it to Su Xiyun.
Su Xiyun didn't know how much she had eaten in her previous life, this was really not a novelty for her, but on such an occasion, she had to cooperate with the words of the county lord of Jingyi and pretend to be surprised, not to mention how tired she was, even she felt that the smile on the corner of her mouth was fake. But the county lord of Jingyi on the other side didn't seem to see it. Still smiling and handing it over, waiting for Su Xiyun to pick it up.
Looking at the string of watery mentions in the other party's pair of slender jade hands, Su Xiyun took it and ate it a little helplessly, and then showed a smile: "It's delicious." ”
The county lord of Jingyi ordered someone to take down the plate. Then he sat there and was served breakfast by someone serving the dishes. During this period, Su Xiyun was bored to sitting, so she took Su Qianyun to the porch and teased a thrush hanging there, which was petite and had a graceful call, which made Su Xiyun, a person who had never seen a thrush before, very interested. Looking at the joy of the birds, she remembered a poem by Ouyang Xiu, a great poet in the Song Dynasty: Thousands of voices move at will, and the mountain flowers are red and purple trees. I knew that the lock listened to the golden cage, and it was not as free as the forest. I don't know if this bird is lucky or unfortunate to be in a cage.
Who knew that Su Xiyun was in a mood, so she read out the poem, and as soon as the words fell, a laugh sounded next to her: "Miss Su is so picky." ”
Su Xiyun hurriedly turned around, and saw that the maid named Xiuyue appeared again, still smiling, respectfully greeting them, and then standing there pretty, as beautiful as she looked.
Su Xiyun looked at this pretty girl who came over Yingying, she really didn't know what to say, she really wanted to ask Xiuyue, don't you have to serve your master? Are you so idle? But no matter how entangled and depressed she was in her heart, she didn't say a word, because she could see that this Xiuyue girl didn't seem to be an ordinary maid. When she didn't know what the hell was going on with this person, she usually kept quiet.
Xiuyue stepped forward with bird food and took the initiative to say to Su Xiyun: "Two young ladies, this thrush was brought back from the south by our county lord, take a look, is this bird different from usual?" As he spoke, he wanted to hand the bird food in his hand to Su Xiyun. Stay in the garbage.
If Su Xiyun is a bird lover, or if she is very curious and playful, then she will definitely reach out to take the bird food, but Su Xiyun did not reach out to take it, but said with a smile: "What's different, forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't see it." In fact, it was an ordinary thrush at all, and she was not a specialized animal researcher in her previous life, so she really couldn't see it from the outside.
Su Qianyun originally wanted to reach out and take the bird food over to feed the birds, but when she saw Su Xiyun's movements, she dispelled the thoughts in her heart. She knew that Su Xiyun was implicitly vigilant by doing this, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances at this Xiuyue, but unfortunately, she couldn't see anything else except that the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the other party looked like Ruyue.
Seeing that neither of them reached out to pick up the bird food in her hand, Xiuyue smiled and said, "Listen, two young ladies, how happy this bird is!" Feeding the birds is also a rare pleasure, and the two ladies don't want to try it? ”
Yes, seeing that they didn't reach out to pick it up, she asked directly.
Su Xiyun smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "No, I have never fed the birds, this is the county lord's beloved thing, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be the sin of the two of us, or don't want it." As she spoke, she glanced at Xiuyue and said, "Miss Xiuyue, are you going to feed it?" Oops, we blocked you, why don't you say it? With that, she hurriedly pulled Su Qianyun to the side, far away from the birdcage.
Seeing this, Xiuyue's eyes flashed quickly, and then said with a smile: "The two young ladies are out of sight when they say this, everyone knows that the two of us are the best friends of our county lord, how can the county lord blame you?" Besides, this bird was originally raised for ornamentation, and it was an honor to be appreciated by the two young ladies. ”
Saying this, she didn't say anything more, but stood on the edge of the cage with the bird food in her hand, carefully and slowly sprinkled the food into it, the two birds immediately ate happily in the cage, Xiuyue poured water into the sink in the bird cage again, and waited beside her, until the two birds were full of food and drink and stood next to them and began to comb their feathers, then she turned around and smiled and said to Sister Su Xiyun: "Two young ladies, our county lord should finish breakfast if he wants to come here, please come in!" ”
Su Xiyun stared at the birdcage behind Xiuyue with straight eyes, and said in a daze: "You, look at that bird." ”
Xiuyue hurriedly turned around, but saw that the thrush bird, which was still jubilant just now, had fallen in the cage with its back to the sky at the moment, and it looked like it couldn't survive.
Xiuyue's face changed greatly, and she immediately hurriedly ran over, checked it carefully, and then turned around and said angrily to Su Xiyun: "Miss Su, what did you feed it just now?" actually killed it, what are your intentions! ”
As soon as Su Xiyun heard this, her face immediately changed and said, "You are spewing blood!" My sister and I have been standing here all the time, and we have never been near the cage at all! It's obviously the food and water you fed it single-handedly, but now that something has happened, you don't want to find out what is going on first, but it's actually here, I want to ask you what your intentions are! ”
When Xiuyue heard this, she was about to refute immediately, and at this time, the bead curtain in the door was lifted, and Monarch Jingyi walked out accompanied by the maid woman, she looked at the tense picture in front of her, and said in surprise; "What happened? What are you talking about? ”
Su Xiyun glanced up at the county lord Jingyi, and did not speak with a calm face.
Just now they made such a big disturbance here, and the county lord Jingyi sat in the house, even if he didn't hear all of them clearly, he would definitely listen to them all the time. But at this moment, she pretended to be ignorant and didn't know anything, what did she mean?
Without waiting for Su Xiyun to dig deeper, the county lord of Jingyi had already turned to his maid Xiuyue, and said with a gloomy face: "Xiyun and Qianyun are good sisters that I invited so easily, let you entertain them well, this is how you entertain?" You're taking my words as a deaf ear, aren't you? What the hell happened here just now, you shouldn't hurry up and get the truth! ”
Xiuyue immediately knelt down with a "plop", admitted her mistake again and again, and then spoke: "County Lord, just now the two young ladies of Bofu came out of the inner hall, and saw that this thrush bird was very cute, so they teased it next to it, and also told the slave maid to fetch some food to feed the birds, the slave maid did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to look for it, because yesterday the food prepared in our crape myrtle courtyard has been used up, and the slave maid had to go to the kitchen to find it, the sex kitchen is not far away, the slave maid went for a while and returned with food, although the two young ladies thought that the slave maid had been gone for a long time, But he didn't say anything, the slave and maid handed over the food, and the two young ladies reached out and grabbed some and threw them in the birdcage, and when they saw that the birds were eating happily, the young lady also added water to it. ”
As Xiuyue's words came one by one, Su Xiyun's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and Su Qianyun next to her did not let it go. She already knew what Xiuyue was going to say next. couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart: she was already so careful, why did she still fall for this girl's way! But is this what Xiuyue means, or what Lord Jingyi means? After all, Xiuyue is the maid of Monarch Jingyi, and she still trusts her very much......
Su Xiyun glanced at the county lord of Jingyi, but saw that the other party also had a dark face.
Xiuyue secretly observed everyone's expressions, and continued: "The slave maid didn't pay much attention to the birds when they saw that they were eating happily, but what the slave maid never expected was that they ate the food fed by the two young ladies and fell to the ground in just a moment. Speaking of this, Xiuyue was already crying.
Monarch Jingyi's face was very ugly, she listened to Xiuyue's words, she didn't turn around and question the Su Xiyun sisters, she didn't even look at them, she just looked at the birdcage with straight eyes, walked over slowly, stretched out her hand and stroked it gently, the beautiful county lord, the dead bird in the delicate birdcage, this picture, how weird it looks.
Xiuyue only glanced at it, and then hurriedly lowered her head.
Su Xiyun didn't dodge or dodge, her eyes looked straight at the back of the county lord of Jingyi, she was a little angry in her heart, she didn't expect that when she traveled to this ancient time, she was on every defense in the Bo Mansion, and Su Daiyun was such a scheming person who couldn't design her, but now she was set up a trap in this county palace, and that person still wanted to make her bitter and couldn't say it, how could this not make her extremely depressed?
To be honest, she didn't expect that there would be someone in this county palace to deal with her. Even when Qi Junhan's hanging world was entangled with her all the time in the past, she had never been so angry, these days, although she still had a feeling of escape when she mentioned the county king's mansion, but for the sake of the county lord of Jingyi, she still came hard.
Today's matter, no matter what the outcome is, Su Xiyun swears that she will never set foot here again!
