Chapter 7: The Dinner Party (I)
In the wide dark green box, antique screens decorate several landscapes.
Zhao Mengxi locked the doors and windows, carefully checked the surroundings of the room, and after making sure that no eavesdropping equipment was found, he was relieved and relieved, and casually found a chair to beckon everyone to sit down.
Of course, Lin Yetian is not included.
Lin Yetian didn't care about any etiquette and morality, and when Zhao Yuxi was about to sit down, he accelerated in vain, and squeezed her down one step ahead.
"Wow you you ......"
Zhao Yuxi sat on the ground, covering her buttocks, and couldn't find the words for a while when she wanted to say something.
"Damn! I've never seen such a brazen person!"
Lin Yetian said quickly.
"It's my word!"
Even the lines were robbed, Zhao Yuxi was angry and scuffled with Lin Yetian, and there was a happy atmosphere in the air.
Zhao Mengxi looked at the two of them helplessly, sighed slightly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed a smile.
Lin Yetian, who felt a little bored after playing for a long time, walked lazily to Zhao Mengxi's side, scratched his head and asked embarrassedly:
"Did you just say that I am from the Zhao family because you like me!"
Well...... Well???
Poof-
The eldest lady who was drinking tea squirted out a mouthful of salt soda, and she had never seen such a brazen person!
Coincidentally, Lin Yetian was sprayed with a soup chicken, his whole body was wet in white, and he stood pitifully in place.
Women are really made of water!
The coachman Zhao Fu was also stunned, and his chin was open.
What surprised him was not Lin Yetian's words, but Zhao Mengxi's reaction.
In his impression, the majestic lady who has always been Gujing Wubo and plain still has such a side.
If the rest of the Zhao family knew about it, I am afraid that the worldview would collapse on the spot.
Zhao Yuxi was stunned for a few seconds, and then immediately reacted, he was not talking about himself, but just scolded a few words and bowed his head and didn't speak.
Well......
On the other side, even Lin Yetian, who was known for his cheekiness, couldn't stand it, and without even taking a change of clothes, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran into the bathroom of the wing room to take a shower.
Zhao Mengxi took a deep breath, since she met this teenager, she gradually drifted away from her previous mature and steady painting style.
But maybe that's a good thing?
Zhao Mengxi thought to herself.
On the other side, Zhao Yuxi, who lowered her head and didn't know what to think, also raised her head, even the eldest lady, who was usually a little out of the way, felt a trace of imperceptible secrecy this time.
Taking advantage of Lin Yetian's absence, Zhao Yuxi said indignantly for Lin Yetian:
"How did this Ning Guchen become like this now, he just spoke so harshly. ”
Zhao Mengxi glanced at her sister and couldn't help but quip:
"Yuxi, has your relationship with your son gotten better?"
Zhao Yuxi blushed instantly, and snorted in a low voice: "Didn't I see that my sister just said that he was a member of the Zhao family~"
Without waiting for her sister to reply, she approached Zhao Mengxi and asked in a low voice
"Sister, is there anything unclean here in Ningfu?"
Zhao Mengxi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't found anything unusual at the moment, it's just that I personally feel that I have an indescribable ominous premonition." ”
Zhao Mengxi took a sip of tea and continued, "And the way Ning Guchen looked at Lin Gongzi just now, it was very wrong, like, a long-coveted look?
That's why my son is a member of our Zhao family, so maybe Ning Guchen is afraid of the power of our Zhao family and won't attack him. ”
"The long-coveted eyes......" Zhao Yuxi muttered to herself, her cold hair stood on end, and she actually had a creepy feeling
"Speaking of which, I just felt something watching us outside the gate. ”
Zhao Fu next to him also nodded, looked at the busy servants outside the window, and said with a solemn expression
"Could it be that someone is playing hide and seek?" said Lin Yetian in disbelief.
Well......
There was silence.
"The eldest lady is right, and that old servant, who has been by Ning Guchen's side since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is very good, but now he has fallen to such a point. And the servants here, as far as I can see, are completely alive, but there is a faint and imperceptible death aura on their bodies, which is really strange. ”
"Then sister, let's go quickly, if we get entangled in something unclean, it'll be over"
Zhao Yuxi was nervous, her feet under the table stomped irregularly, her fingers tightly grasping her thighs, and she kept looking around
。 I didn't expect that the second lady, who usually scolds and scolds, is actually the most timid one.
"Wow, how old are you and you're still afraid of ghosts, and you're losing the dead" An inopportune voice came, which frightened Zhao Yuxi and almost ran away.
When I looked closely, it turned out that Lin Yetian had just finished taking a shower and his hair was wet.
"You're afraid of ghosts, your whole family is afraid of ghosts!" Zhao Yuxi was annoyed and angry, and scolded like a scoundrel.
"I'm not afraid of ghosts, because I always feel that every ghost I'm afraid of is someone else thinks about. ”
Lin Ye Tianyi said pointedly.
Zhao Yuxi was stunned, not knowing what to say.
It's like a group of people discussing how much water droplets can hurt people if they fall from a high altitude on the ground, and a scene where they silently ask, "Haven't you seen rain?"
Zhao Mengxi, who was beside him, noticed that the white clothes on Lin Yetian's body showed no signs of dampness at all.
"Actually, you're a ghost too, don't you know?"
Lin Yetian said matter-of-factly.
"Ah" Zhao Yuxi thought that what he said was that he had been entangled in something unclean, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Childish ghost!"
Lin Yetian grinned and ran to find a place to dry his head.
It took a long time to react, and Zhao Mengyu, who realized that he had been tricked, took a deep breath and resisted the urge to hit someone.
Sister Zhao Mengxi looked at her sister and smiled bitterly, looked at the strange atmosphere outside the window, and then decided:
"It seems that this place is not suitable for a long time, so we will leave after packing up our meals today. ”
Everyone had no opinion, and they all agreed.
Not far from the window, the busy servants stopped what they were doing, and the ox that had just been cut in half by cutting its chest open was thrown to the ground like garbage, and then all the servants twisted their heads into a strange angle like marionettes, staring gloomily at the people in the wing......
That night, the servants of the Ning Mansion prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited Lin Yetian and his party to go.
The floating starlight between the canopies of the sky flows through the streets in all directions in the night.
The brilliant light is like the reflection of the ocean and the clouds, and in the Ningfu group, which is close to the suburbs but is brilliant and bright, the aroma of wine and food, and the melodious musical instruments and songs, waft leisurely.
The moonlight gradually became transparent, enveloping the voices of the people coming and going, and the open-air dinner dance party was already immersed in the expensive and gorgeous sparks, like meteors passing over the light and shadow of the people.
A large number of guests came to the feast to prepare for their seats, and sat in two rows, left and right, in a humble and orderly manner. And Lin Yetian and his entourage sat at the main table with Ning Guchen because they had their backs to the Zhao family.
The guests were busy serving tea and water, and the bamboo and pigeon peas were arranged neatly, and the food in the beans was so exquisite. The wine is so mellow, soft and sweet. The chimes and golden drums are already in place.
Zhao Mengxi and the others also felt strange, originally they wanted to eat something casually like a temporary reception, but they didn't want to hold a sumptuous dinner, it seems that this large-scale dinner party seems to have been prepared by the Ning Mansion for a long time, and they just happened to meet it.
Among the many guests, several figures walked straight to Zhao Mengxi and sat down.
Near the armchair on the left is a handsome man with a sword-like face with a figure-eight eyebrows, he is carrying an ancient rusty long sword on his back, which looks quite old, and the whole person is meticulously sitting with his back straight and straight, without moving chopsticks, and he thinks that his character is a righteous person.
Near the armrest on the right is a little chubby dun with a twisted face, dark brown hair, wearing an exaggerated unknown robe, and a happy smile at the sight of the delicious ingredients, and even saliva can be faintly seen salivating at the corners of his mouth.
As soon as the whole person sat down, he raised Erlang's legs and ate a lot, completely ignoring the opinions of others.
Among the three people facing the door, the leftmost one is a woman with a beautiful face, her facial features are quite three-dimensional, quite exotic, and there is a standard beauty mole next to the center of the eyebrows of her right eye.
The body is well-proportioned and hot, dressed in a shape-shaped black tights, and wears a flaming black collar around his neck, revealing the moving curves of his body to the fullest.
She didn't eat after she sat down, but kept throwing winks at Lin Yetian beside Zhao Mengxi.
It's a pity that what she didn't know was that Lin Yetian was a well-known upright gentleman, and he looked up proudly and looked too lazy to pay attention to others.
It's just that the head seems to be raised too high?
In the middle is a very intelligent old man, with a bald head that glows like a light bulb. Wearing a tattered robe that he picked up out of nowhere, his triangular face and big bald head look very sinister.
The whole person took a small sip of the soup spoon and took a sip of the soup to make sure that there was no poison, and only after looking left and right that he didn't see anyone acting abnormally, he carefully swallowed more food.
The one on the right is a young man, who is at most a little older than Lin Yetian in terms of face, and his appearance is ordinary, the kind of person who will disappear immediately if thrown into the sea of people.
Dressed in plain rather loose clothes, he ate peacefully after entering the dinner party, and did not communicate with anyone.
