72 Encounter Begonia Garden Again
Speaking of which, Qin Shao is also nineteen years old during the New Year, and among the relatives and nobles, there are really very few people who have not yet decided on a marriage at the age of nineteen, and many people have already become fathers at this age.
After a few things that happened before, Concubine Hui asked Xiao Yunmo to contact Qin Shao more, so as soon as she received the invitation to the flower party, Xiao Yunmo came to the Begonia Garden for the first time.
What kind of people? When Qin Shao heard this, a person's shadow crossed his heart, but he hooked his lips slightly disdainfully, if the two lives were planted in the hands of the same person, then he was really a fool.
It's just as if all his enthusiasm and emotions have been exhausted in the previous life, and in this life, he has always jumped out with the mentality of a spectator. He wanted revenge, and he had implemented the plan, but the woman seemed to be so lucky that she wouldn't die.
The person he sent to Rouran to find the slave trader had sent back information a few days ago, the slave trader Lao Ba had indeed sold a girl who was very similar to Ye Chengcheng, although it had been a while, but because Ye Lingcheng was sold to a wealthy merchant in Kuizhou with another boy, the price was high, and there was a red birthmark on Ye Chengcheng's back, so Lao Ba remembered it deeply.
Birthmark, slave! Hehe! Qin Shao sneered in his heart, then this person is Ye Qingcheng, and he can't be wrong. I didn't expect her life to be so big, obviously she had already choked her breath, and she was abandoned by him at the door of the slave camp, but she could come back to life.
He has already ordered people to continue to investigate the rich merchant in Kuizhou, and I believe that it will not be long before news comes back. When the time comes, you will be able to determine exactly whether Ye Chengcheng is true or not.
"What about you?" Seeing that Qin Shao pursed his lips and was silent, Xiao Yunmo asked again.
Qin Shao looked back at Xiao Yunmo and bowed his hand, "Let it be." ”
"It's a good word." Xiao Yunmo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "I really envy you, but it's a pity that I decided on my family early?" ”
"Could it be that the prince is dissatisfied with his future wife?" Qin Shao asked, he regretted it a little after asking, this kind of thing is private, and the other party is the prince. It was a bit abrupt for him to ask.
"It's not a grievance." Xiao Yunmo was stunned again, and then smiled gently, "I just feel a little awkward to settle down early, and I envy that you can choose the person you like according to your heart." And this king is in the royal family, but it is ......" Before he finished speaking, his voice lowered, and a pair of eyes looked straight at the path among the flowers outside.
Qin Shao felt that his eyes were strange, so he turned around and looked at Xiao Yunmo's gaze.
The branches of the begonia flowers extend to the path between the flowers, intertwining a flower shadow layer by layer, and the sunlight is projected through this flower shadow, forming a mottled light on the ground, and three women come up on the bluestone paved road, followed by several maids.
The leader was dressed in crimson palace clothes, dignified and beautiful, and behind her were two girls, one white and one pink.
The faces of the two girls are not inferior to the begonias, but with a bright but not demonic, beautiful but vulgar color. The gauze skirts on their bodies slightly rippled with their steps, as if sliding on the bluestone road, and like falling flowers flying red under their skirts. The smiling girl in a white wide-sleeved long skirt was pointing to the spring color of the begonias in the garden and whispering to the girl in pink on the side, and between the eye waves, it was better than the spring color in the garden, and the girl in pink pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were slightly bent, with an indescribable demure beauty. From time to time, she nodded because of the words of another girl, and with a slight bow, it was another look of shame that wanted to speak.
It's Ye Chengcheng! Qin Shao's eyes fell on the girl in white and couldn't move away, her mother even invited her, what was she doing? An inexplicable anger arose, and his eyebrows were inadvertently twisted slightly.
"It's really rare to see these two cousins dressed up like this." Xiao Yunmo touched his chin with interest and looked at it, then turned his head and said to Qin Shao, "It's taken away the spring color of this garden." Do you think that this yard full of girls' house, and the two cousins of this king are the two most outstanding in appearance. ”
Why didn't Ye Allure be so beautiful before? Xiao Yunmo looked at Ye Chengcheng carefully, saying that he hadn't seen her for a few days, and he was busy these days.
In the past, she was always clinging to herself, and during this time, she didn't go to Dingwangfu to harass, and it seemed that life was a little too peaceful. Speaking of which, I used to be very disgusted with her entanglement, so I didn't even bother to look at her more, and the inadvertent glance just now made Xiao Yunmo suddenly have a feeling of brightness.
"Especially my own cousin." Xiao Yunmo continued.
"I heard that she didn't take it upon herself to apply for next year's martial arts exam, and together with the eldest lady of General Li's family, she also brought Ye Miaocheng with her." Xiao Yunmo said to Qin Shao with a look of disdain between his eyebrows, as always. "It's a lot of nonsense. Now this matter has been treated as a joke in the capital again. My cousin, I really can't live this day without doing it for a while. ”
"Oh. Hehe. Qin Shao withdrew his gaze from Ye Tingcheng's body and turned to Xiao Yunmo, seeing that he was still staring at Ye Tingcheng, Qin Shao said indifferently, "Since Her Highness saw her, what she said has never left her." ”
"Really?" Xiao Yunmo was startled, and watched a little dazedly as Ye Tingcheng was taken by his aunt and disappeared into a field of flowers, and then he withdrew his eyes. "It's probably because she usually makes too much trouble. So when I saw her, I couldn't help but want to count her down twice. Sign up for the martial arts test. It's a fantasy. After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the scene of meeting Ye Chengcheng in the border city, and the disdain in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
"Maybe it's not all nonsense." Xiao Yunmo muttered.
"What?" Qin Shao had obviously heard this sentence, and he heard it very clearly, but he still pretended not to hear it and asked again.
It seems that not only himself, but even Xiao Yunmo has discovered Ye Chengcheng's abnormality.
That's why he asked.
"Nothing." Xiao Yunmo shook his head, retracted the sentence just now, and closed his mouth and didn't mention it again. "Is it really good that you, as the master, have been accompanying this king to this nest here?"
"My mother Zhang Luo's affairs, just let people who like Zhang Luo do it." Qin Shao wasn't interested in these gatherings in the first place, if it weren't for the fact that his grandmother wanted to drag him here and find a reason to escort his cousin, he really didn't even bother to look at it.
"Let's go. Don't embarrass your aunt too much, let's go down and have a look. Xiao Yunmo patted Qin Shao on the shoulder, in two years, he will be eighteen, and he will be married at that time, and Qin Shao is now nineteen years old, but he hasn't even scratched the word, I really don't know whether to envy him or laugh at him.
Qin Shao also knew that what Xiao Yunmo said was right, and seeing that he was also urging himself, he saw that it was almost lunch time, so he could only get up and accompany Xiao Yunmo out of the pavilion.
Lunch at the Yasukuni Mansion was arranged in the Flower Hall and the Water Pavilion, which was divided into male and female guests, with the male guests being ushered into the Flower Hall and the female guests being placed in the Water Pavilion.
Ye Chengcheng has been used to fighting and killing all her life, it's not that she hasn't had social activities, and she has also participated in a lot of drinking parties and banquets when performing tasks and celebrating achievements, but she is still very unsuitable for this situation.
In modern times, as soon as she participates in banquets, she adheres to the purpose of eating more and talking less, so being here is no exception.
After sitting down, his mother and the ladies of the various families exchanged pleasantries, Mrs. Mei said a few words, and then announced the opening of the banquet, Ye Tingcheng saw that he had nothing to do, so he simply sat on the side and kept eating.
"Are you hungry?" Ye Miaocheng couldn't stand it anymore and asked in a low voice.
"No, it's not." Ye Qingcheng looked at her a little blankly. "What's wrong?"
"Everybody's looking at you." Ye Tingcheng reminded in a low voice.
"Really?" Ye Tingcheng looked around the water pavilion at this time, and noticed that there were really many young nobles who wanted her to cast strange glances, so she put down her chopsticks in a daze. "Really, didn't the opening of the banquet be announced? I won't be allowed to eat it. Do you want to live a life that is not pleasant? She whispered to Ye Miaocheng.
"Alright." Ye Miaocheng secretly tugged at her sleeve, and said even more quietly, "But whenever you participate in this kind of party, the nobles of all provinces will be reminded not to eat more when you go out, first, to damage the image, second, to destroy the temperament, and third, to eat too much, it is not very convenient, and the waist will become thicker." ”
"There are so many rules." Ye Tingcheng flattened his mouth slightly, Emma was really guilty. If you have this American time to grind here, it is better to take Ye Miaocheng to strengthen your physical training. Seeing that everyone was already looking at her like that, she could only put down her chopsticks and pretend to be a lady.
She looked and found Li Zhen in a corner of the wall, Li Zhen saw Ye Chengcheng looking at her, she pursed her lips and smiled at Ye Tingcheng.
"I'll go, Li Zhen will look like a dog when she puts on a long skirt." Ye Tingcheng couldn't wave at her because the princess was by his side, so he could only smile in return, and then said to Ye Miaocheng in a low voice.
"County Lord......" Ye Miaocheng glanced at Ye Qingcheng speechlessly. She is also the concubine of General Li's mansion, why do you look like a dog......
Ye Tingcheng was not salty or light for this meal, and finally after it was finished, the princess was surrounded by the ladies of various prefectures and went to the courtyard on the side to talk, rub hemp, and rest. Some noblewomen followed, while others walked in groups to eat.
Ye Chengcheng was told a few words by the princess, so he took Ye Miaocheng to find Li Zhen.
"Oh my god, but it's suffocating me." Ye Tingcheng, Ye Miaocheng and Li Zhen found a relatively secluded place, so they breathed a sigh of relief and complained to the two of them.
