Chapter 18: Temptation (II)

After eyeing the eyes of the county lord's eldest maid Begonia with a needle bayonet, Yan Shiyi smiled faintly, turned his head and walked to the back window, pushing the window to look at the lotus flowers in the lake.

Although the lotus flower has not yet bloomed, it has a fresh fragrance wafting in, which makes people feel calm.

Haitang hated her for being forgivable, and she would have a good relationship with her when she had the opportunity, after all, she still had to go in and out of the county lord's mansion in the future......

A gust of wind came, lotus leaf field. Looking at the water pavilion opposite, the figures are shaking, and there seem to be a lot of people gathered.

In the water pavilion, there were seven or eight sons of families who had just passed the crown. Jing Can grabbed the teapot on the stone table, poured the jasper teacup in a circle, first picked up a cup, and gave the tea.

Everyone followed the tea tasting and praised the good tea.

King Xiaoxian sat on the wooden ladder that stretched out into the lake outside the water pavilion, stretched out his hand to puff the water, and watched his reflection in the water break and gather, looking a little bored. If it weren't for Dongyang Hou Shizi inviting him to come, he wouldn't have participated in such a boring party. Instead of socializing with people who don't join the contract, it is better to stay in the room and write and draw. Thinking of the half-painted beauty picture and Xiao Qian, who was alone, I couldn't help but feel anxious.

There was an uproar in the water pavilion.

"What a special beauty!"

I don't know who liked it. Jing Can shouted to King Xiaoxian, look at the other side of the lotus pond.

"The beautiful face is like a flower shining on the water, and the fairy posture is like a fairy descending to earth."

The sons in the water pavilion raised their eyes and looked at each other. King Xiaoxian stood up and looked over there. Seeing the woman in the window of the Cloud Pavilion on the other side of the lotus pond, her eyebrows were twisted, and the corners of her mouth were pursed with disdain.

"Isn't that the Chaoyun Pavilion where King Xiaoxian stayed?"

Jing Can remembered, his expression revealed two points of jealousy, and said:

"What a joy it is to be a neighbor with a beautiful woman! The county lord was really sympathetic to King Xiaoxian. ”

That woman is really ambitious, and it is not enough to covet him, she wants to use her posture to provoke this group of sons!

Bah!

"How can you be a beautiful woman, a vulgar fan! I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. ”

King Xiaoxian stepped on the wooden bridge directly from the water pavilion and left. The crowd in the water pavilion turned their heads to look at him, not understanding why he was so violent.

"Don't look at it, that beauty must have been prepared by the county lord for King Xiaoxian."

Jing Can's explanation made everyone come to their senses, and they sat down again and continued to talk about poetry and lyrics. When Jing Can looked back again, there was no beauty in the window by the lotus pond, and there was a faint hint of amazement.

Yan Shiyi poured a cup of tea and held it in his hand, and there was still hot air curling around the rim of the cup.

Peony had been gone for half an hour, and if nothing else, she should have come back soon and asked her to meet the county lord......

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A polite and rhythmic knock on the door.

It must be the peony that is coming.

After arranging her skirt and sideburns, she walked quickly to the door, pressed her heart first, and then opened the door, raised her eyes and smiled before saying a word. When he saw the visitor, his smile froze, and then he closed it unnaturally, and his eyes looked down at the ground.

Xiao Qian didn't wait for Yan Shiyi to ask, and spoke first.

"Excuse me, girl, I have something to ask for, can you let me in?"

Lonely men and widows are in the same room, even if it is a blue sky and a white day, they will fall into the hands of people.

Yan Shiyi glanced at Xiao Qian, and his eyes were full of the words "Lord Wang, please respect yourself".

Xiao Qian realized that something was wrong, and said with a smile:

"I do have something important to ask the girl for, or ask the girl to follow me to the gazebo over there, and there is a mother-in-law pruning outside the gazebo."

Xiao Qian's implication was that he would not get along with men and widows alone, and raised the string of kraft paper medicine bags he was carrying in his hand, looking extremely sincere and helpless.

"If it's a doctor, I can't help it."

Yan Shiyi was unmoved.
