Chapter 23: Badness
Lu Siniang wanted to nod, but now that she was so close to the water, she really didn't dare to move: "I just want to vent my anger for Grandpa, I really don't intend to kill you......"
He Lingjiang snorted lightly, he didn't intend to harm her life, but if she fell into the water, it was inevitable to make a fool of herself, could this be that she was merciful to her subordinates?
She moved her fingers, so frightened that the fourth lady didn't dare to move.
He Ling Jiang's eyebrows were gentle: "It's not impossible to pull you up, it's just that your brother said something, Lu Siniang has to tell me one by one, and you can't deceive me." ”
"I said I said." Lu Siniang hurriedly agreed, lest she would throw herself down if she was unhappy.
At this time, there were also footsteps behind him, and I thought that the people around heard the screams and rushed over.
"Then I'll listen to Lu Siniang's words later." He Ling Jiang made a hard effort, and Lu Siniang, who was originally hanging upside down on the water, was pulled back to the wooden bridge by her.
This place is standing firmly, and the people who heard the sound also happened to be in front of them.
A group of people looked anxious: "A few ladies, I don't know what happened?" "If the nobles have an accident in the house, they really can't afford it.
"Nothing." He Ling Jiang let go of his hand and brushed his shirt for Lu Siniang, "It's just that Lu Siniang almost fell into the lake when she reached out to pick lotus flowers, and I pulled her up." It's all right. ”
The servants were taken aback and almost fell into the lake!
They took a look at the railing of the curved bridge here, if the ladies walked on the curved bridge to enjoy the lotus according to common sense, naturally there was no need to worry about the danger, but if someone leaned over the railing and wanted to lean over to reach the lotus leaves in the water, that one was not careful, and there was indeed a danger of falling into the water.
Cold sweat flowed from the corner of the housekeeper's forehead: It was his negligence, but fortunately these ladies did not have an accident, otherwise his position as a housekeeper would be difficult to protect.
"Thank you Lady He." The housekeeper leaned over again and again to thank him, and then saluted Lu Siniang, "Let Lu Niangzi be frightened." ”
Lu Siniang was shocked, and she blamed herself for this, it really had nothing to do with the princess's mansion, and she could only shake her head and complain about others.
Her two maidservants hurried over when they heard the sound, and when the four ladies went out, they deliberately separated the two, and now they were startled when they saw her wet clothes, and hurriedly hugged her to change their clothes.
Lu Siniangzi said: "I still have a few words to say with He Qiniang, you step back first." ”
Waving away the servants and maids around her, she told the cause and effect of how she had such a foolish mind.
It's nothing more than her brother whispering in her ear some things about the He family's review of the copper and iron case, pulling out the Fan Yang Lu family, and making her grandfather very worried. Lu Siniang just met the sisters of the He family during the banquet, and she was indignant in her heart, and she wanted to teach them a lesson when she got the opportunity.
If it is said that this Lu Siniang is not happy with their He family, it is human nature.
But the brother of her family knew that she was going to attend the birthday of the eldest princess in the past two days, and the He family would inevitably be there at that time, and he also said bad things about the He family to Lu Siniang, either because his mind was too straight, or his mind was too deep.
When he heard that his clan brother came to Yingdu from the clan a few years ago, and he had been working under Lu Shaofu Supervisor since then, He Ling Jiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he also had thoughts in his heart.
She watched Lu Siniang gradually move away, and then turned her head to He Yunchu and the others: "Let's go back too." ”
The servants and maids around her had dispersed, He Yunjia glanced at her, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you really want to throw that Lu Siniang into the water just now?" ”
"How?" He Ling Jiang smiled lightly, "It's just to scare and scare her, so that she can learn a long lesson." ”
A person like Lu Siniang who is emotionally exposed has nothing to be afraid of. She dared to reach out, and after being knocked with a stick, she knew the pain and didn't dare to mess around again.
This kind of thing is much easier to deal with than those who quietly rub and stumble people.
"I knew it!" He Yunjia glanced at He Yunchu proudly, "Sister Fang is still worried that you are angry, and you really threw that Lu Si into the water......
If Lu Si fell into the water, no matter whether he was justified or not, he would inevitably bite their sisters angrily and disturb the eldest princess's birthday banquet in vain. According to Ling Jiang's temperament, he will definitely not do it regardless of it.
He Yunchu is also concerned about chaos, otherwise he wouldn't be confused.
She looked at He Yunjia with a smile: "Okay, okay, you're the best." All in all, it's good that there is no incident, let's be away from the table for a long time, let's go back quickly. ”
Lu Siniang almost fell off the bridge, and all the ladies more or less heard it, and they stopped walking around at the moment, and they all sat down in the banquet to talk to people they knew well.
Seeing that He Lingjiang and the others had also returned, He Qingrong, the county lord of Dening, hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "The lady of the He family is not surprised, right?" ”
He Lingjiang shook his head: "It's okay, Lord Lao is worried." ”
The county lord of Dening breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he Qiniang was there, so he didn't let Lu Siniang really fall into the water, otherwise it would be a dereliction of duty for his master.
When Pei You saw her come back, he only glanced up, and then lowered his head to focus on the wine cup in front of him, and he also looked cold to those ladies who came forward to talk to him.
and those who had the heart to make friends with him, so they had to retreat and go to the crown prince Duanwang instead, or Cui Shu He Chen was around.
So, in the whole banquet, there were all smiles and smiles everywhere, but Pei Yu was the only one, which was very deserted.
He Lingjiang was amused when he saw it, he didn't want to deal with others, so why did he have to come to this banquet?
With the military power of the Zhenbei clan in the north, he didn't interact with anyone when he arrived in Ying, and the emperor was happy.
After all, a king with a different surname who holds military power like King Zhenbei already makes the emperor vigilant, if he still has close contacts with the magnates of Yingdu, how can he sit on the throne safely?
For the Zhenbei clan, being a lonely minister is the best choice, they are stable, and the emperor is also at ease.
Because of this consideration, although He Lingjiang and Pei You knew each other well, after arriving in Yingdu, they did not see each other many times.
In the past, in Linchuan and Yaozhou, they joined forces to investigate the case and track down the Divine Palace, and the two had a lot of contact and talked about the past, but now that they are in Yingdu, if they meet frequently, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
It was her grandfather, who told her thousands of instructions to distance her from Pei You.
So far, they have only met two or three times in private.
He Lingjiang looked at him one by one, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, when did Pei You's amount of wine become so good? She remembered that this person was a small half-pot that could be emptied, and she never dared to drink too much in the past.
She glanced at the servant girl serving wine behind him, didn't this guy let people pour water into it? Looking at his clear expression again, He Lingjiang was even more convinced at this moment.
Princess Yongmu on the side saw him sitting alone and drinking alcohol, and couldn't help reminding him: "Today's pear blossom brewing is easy to get drunk, and the prince should not be greedy for a cup, otherwise it will inevitably be uncomfortable in the future." If you like it, I've got some in that place, and I'll send it to you another day. ”
Between the words, it was a very familiar look of concern.
The people around were stunned for a moment, and then understood that Princess Yongmu and the Pei family were also acquaintances when they were in the north.
Pei You's expression remained unchanged, and he raised another glass of his hand, and Fang replied lightly: "Thank you princess for your concern, I'm not good at drinking, so the princess should keep the wine for herself." ”
This......
Everyone couldn't help but be silent, is he not good at drinking?
