Chapter 8: Cherry Blossom Feast (2)
As soon as Yun Yu's front foot left, a slightly urgent footstep followed.
The person who came was not the one Mu Chuyan was waiting for, but the scarlet-clothed woman she saved that day, that is, Ning Tianyu, the little county lord of the Ning family.
Compared with the anxiety on Ning Tianyu's face, Mu Chuyan was not in a hurry and slowly got up to greet her.
Before Ning Tianyu could finish her salute, she helped Mu Chuyan up: "Miss Mu, get up quickly, leave here with me first." ”
Mu Chuyan brushed away Ning Tianyu's hand without a trace, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, county lord, since I came to your mansion today, it's not that I can't see things clearly." ”
"I was presumptuous. Since Miss Mu is a smart and yin person, she should be yin and white, and she shouldn't come here today! Ning Tianyu was a little puzzled, she understood Yin Yin, why did she come to this Hongmen banquet.
"Isn't the county lord also white everywhere, why is he so tolerant?" Mu Chuyan asked rhetorically.
In the depths of the mansion, how much dirty and messy, Ning Tianyu can still bear the honorific title of the county lord when her eldest sister finds it, she looks weak and expected, but she is not really a fool, but the real reason is only known to herself.
Ning Tianyu was asked, looking at the woman in front of her with a smile on her face, her clear eyes reflected her stunned appearance at the moment.
At this moment, many things passed in front of her eyes, Ning Tianyu closed her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "I am not as transparent as Miss Mu, I happened to hear the secret words between the eldest sister and her maid a few days ago, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Miss Mu, I thought that Miss Mu would refuse directly, but when I heard that Miss Mu was coming, I was a little anxious." ”
Mu Chuyan nodded clearly: "The county lord can do whatever he wants, don't worry about me, Sister Ling misses me so much, I can't let her down, right?" ”
Ning Tianyu was relieved when he heard this, looked around and proposed: "Since Miss Mu can deal with it, I can rest assured, I don't come to the corner pavilion behind the autumn cherry garden on weekdays, Miss Mu can go with me to the front to enjoy the flowers, and now is the most beautiful time to bloom." ”
Mu Chuyan shook his head and refused, Yan Yin didn't like to smell too strong aroma.
After Ning Tianyu left, Mu Chuyan continued to leisurely enjoy the swimming fish, and didn't let her wait too long, and a maid came and said that Miss Ning was invited.
Mu Chuyan took Qinzhu with him.
I thought that I would take her to a hidden place so that it would be convenient to act, but she was wrong about this Miss Ning, and the maidservant took her directly to the front yard, that is, the autumn cherry blossom garden where all the noble daughters gathered.
When I came, I was a little confused, and I didn't take a closer look at the layout of this garden, but now it seems to be very elegant, in the spring, the breeze is gentle, occasionally blowing off the clusters of cherry blossoms, falling down the pink petite petals, surrounded by a faint fragrance, lingering on the tip of the nose, very warm.
The ladies sat or stood, or whispered and talked or looked around, if you put aside some too thick fat powder fragrance, you can still see it.
Mu Chuyan was brought into the corner pavilion surrounded by cherry blossom trees, and there were three or four noble ladies in exquisite costumes sitting in it, but they seemed to think that Mu Chuyan did not exist, and they talked around the gorgeous woman who was wearing a hibiscus-colored dark flower cloud brocade skirt with several gorgeous golden hairpins, and they laughed and laughed with each other.
Mu Chuyan sneered in his heart, only glanced at it, and turned around and walked out directly.
The woman who was surrounded by the stars and the moon saw Mu Chuyan turn her head and leave, and she couldn't sit still.
Thinking of her beloved cat some time ago, she was suddenly dropped from a high place and fell to death in front of her, and she was scared for a while before she eased up, and she couldn't find out who did it, whether it had anything to do with Mu Chuyan or not, so she was nosy with her, and today she will definitely humiliate Mu Chuyan fiercely.
If Mu Chuyan knew what this Miss Ning was thinking, he really couldn't help but want to bow left and right at her face that was covered with thick fat powder.
I wanted to give Mu Chuyan a dismount, but he didn't pick up the stubble, Ning Tiantang's eyes signaled the maid next to him to step forward and stop the person.
pretended not to know: "Ah, it's Miss Mu who is here, I thought Miss Mu was really not good, and she won't come today!" ”
"Miss Mu, which Miss Mu? How I have never heard of it. The woman in the blue skirt beside Ning Tiantang spoke at the right time and should be with her.
Ning Tiantang glanced at the woman in the water blue skirt strangely: "Sister Xu has been in Qiandu for a short time, I don't know if it's normal, Miss Mu is from Mu Shilang's house, cough ......cough cough since childhood" She also paused deliberately: "I am sick and weak, I don't like to talk to people, and my sister is almost the same." ”
Mu Chuyan watched her perform for a long time, and she didn't want to speak in a hurry, but because she was a little tired today and didn't want to spend too much time here, she raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Miss Ning is quite concerned about my affairs." ”
"Miss Mu doesn't go out for a long time, I thought Miss Mu was almost terminally ill, but now it seems that the rumors are wrong." Ning Tiantang's gorgeous eyebrows and eyes were smiling, but they couldn't smile at the bottom of their eyes.
"Everyone in the world knows that rumors are easy to mislead people, but I can't imagine that Miss Ning is also the kind of person who listens to the wind and rain." Mu Chuyan sneered at each other.
This slut, a mouth is so powerful, Ning Tiantang squeezed the brocade in his hand, hid his thoughts, and smiled undiminishedly: "It's still that Miss Mu comes out and walks around less, and the news that is untrue comes out, Miss Mu, please sit down, taste the pastries given by the palace in this palace, I think Miss Mu has never eaten it, and this is still a special gift from the queen." ”
"Sister Ning, not everyone has such a blessing as you to be favored by the queen."
"yes, yes."
Ning Tiantang, who listened to the echo of the people around him, became more and more comfortable, swept away the depression, half-pushed and half-agreed, and became more and more high.
To be honest, Mu Chuyan didn't know what situation she would face today, but she still felt faintly about to vomit, as an ordinary modern soul, she really couldn't learn what was in front of her, and it was good to suddenly feel that her body was not good.
"If Miss Ning has no ......" before the words fell, Mu Chuyan vaguely glimpsed the maid behind her walking towards her with something, and saw that Ning Qiantang's eyes were looking like she was watching a show, and a noble girl beside Ning Tiantang also seemed to be about to move, obviously she got a signal, and after thinking about Ning Tiantang's intentions for a while, it was self-evident.
In an instant, Mu Chuyan, who could have avoided directly, changed her mind, and was pushed by the noble girl, and then she collided with the maid serving tea, Mu Chuyan waved his hand indiscriminately, and the tray flew towards Ning Tiantang with the tea.
A tragic scream pierced the sky, Ning Tiantang covered his face in pain, screaming in pain, his well-dressed hair bun was crooked at the moment, and there were scattered tea leaves hanging on it, vaguely steaming, and there was a mess around.
Mu Chuyan calmly retreated to the side, looking at the arm that had finally been repaired with distress, and the swing of Fang Cai almost used all his strength, as if it hurt more than the last time, but compared to the one who wanted to harm her, it was also worth it.
Seeing that group of people were in a hurry, Mu Chuyan was not in a hurry to leave, the matter was not over yet.
This little episode ended quickly with Ning Tiantang being carried back to the courtyard, but Ning Tiantang suddenly became the object of everyone's conversation and laughter.
Here, Jing Zhu carefully held Mu Chuyan's injured arm, his eyes were red like a little rabbit.
Mu Chuyan sighed secretly in his heart, and reached out to touch Qin Zhu's little face: "You can't cry, I'm fine, I'll be able to go home in a while." ”
"Miss, you don't have to fool the slave maid, you have a cold sweat on your forehead, it's okay, you don't know that you feel sorry for your body at all, and the old lady has to worry about it again." Qin Zhu said with a crying voice, and gently wiped the sweat stains on Mu Chuyan's forehead with a silk handkerchief.
Mu Chuyan coughed a little weakly, but he still had to warn: "Okay, good, there will definitely be no next time, I will cherish myself, but my father and mother don't need to tell me, it will be fine when I go back and retake the medicine." ”
Begonia Temple
"Ah, my face, mother, it hurts!!"
Ning Tiantang's face at the moment was like a fire, stinging his heart, everything in Yin and Yin was planned, it was that slut who caused him to become like this.
Duchess Yang of Dingguo looked at her baby daughter in pain like this, and her tears flowed eagerly: "Tang'er, don't move, let the doctor give you medicine well, it's okay, you will definitely be fine." ”
Ning Tianyu, who rushed over after receiving the news, just stepped into the door with one foot, and saw this scene, I didn't know whether it was more refreshing or more bitter, if she could be comforted by her mother's soft voice, she was willing to replace Ning Tiantang.
Putting away her thoughts, Ning Tanyu walked to Yang's side with a worried face: "Mother, don't worry, with the doctor here, the eldest sister will be fine." ”
"You said it easily, how can I not worry about your sister's pain like this, let me ask you, where were you at the time of the incident, who caused your sister to be like this?" Yang's eyes were fierce and glared at Ning Tianyu.
In the face of Yang's questioning, Ning Tianyu had long been accustomed to it, and patiently explained: "I listened to my mother's words, and I was busy greeting guests in the front hall, and when I heard that the eldest sister had an accident, I immediately rushed over, and I didn't know the specific situation. ”
Yang wiped away his tears, glanced at Ning Tiantang a few times distressedly, and brought a group of maids to the front yard and asked people to bring Chunzhi over.
Chun Zhi knelt on the ground and trembled, afraid that things would be broken, so she didn't dare to say anything.
"Say, the eldest lady was injured like this, who did it!" The Yang family has been invading the inner house all the year round, and the momentum of Chunzhi is shaking even more.
"Chunzhi, you'd better tell the truth, the eldest sister is injured like this, if you don't recruit from the truth, you will definitely find someone to send you down, think about your young brother and your long-term sick mother, you have to think carefully."
Ning Tian's words attracted the Yang family's suspicious gaze towards her.
"Mother, if you don't ask Chunzhi like this, she won't tell the truth, her daughter is just eager to help the eldest sister find the real murderer who killed her." Ning Tianyu opened his mouth with an aggrieved face.
Yang retracted his gaze and nodded, although this little daughter didn't like it, but she was a clear one.
When Chun Zhi heard this, the whole person sat down on the ground, and told the truth, the eldest lady would definitely not let go of herself if she knew, if she pushed everything on the young lady who the eldest lady ordered to hit, would she be fine.
As soon as Ning Tianyu looked at Chunzhi's expression, she knew that she didn't listen to what she said.
"Chunzhi, there are all distinguished guests outside today, don't say anything about your collision, the eldest sister's face is injured like this, don't think about climbing other people, otherwise it will be found out, not only you, but even your younger brother and mother will not be spared."
At this moment, Chunzhi's face can be described as miserable, someone must take over this matter, offending anyone is a dead end, and it will also affect the family.
Chun Zhi gritted her teeth, and finally decided to accept it herself: "It's all the slave's fault, it was the slave and the maid who didn't hold the tray steady and hit Miss Mu's family that caused Miss Mu to hit the tray, the eldest lady was injured by mistake, and the slave and maid let Mrs. punish her, and only begged Mrs. and the county lord to spare the slave's mother and younger brother." ”
The Yang family is not a brainless person, he knows best what virtue his daughter has, this matter can only end here, as for Tang'er being injured, he has a chance afterwards, even if Tang'er instructed Chunzhi to do it, but Tang'er's face must not be just counted.
"Come on, pull Chunzhi down and throw fifty boards out of the house, and let her fend for herself." After Yang finished giving the order, he hurried to Ning Tiantang's boudoir.
Ning Tianyu looked at Yang's panicked appearance, his eyes were full of loneliness.
"Lu Su, you send someone to quietly tell Chun Zhi, saying that I will take care of her family to reassure her, and then you go to find Miss Mu in person, tell her that she can go back to the house, convey my apologies for me, and make an apology next time."
After watching Lu Su leave, Ning Tianyu finished the final arrangements, and seemed to be a little unable to hold on, this time it was not the body but the heart, so there was no extravagance.
A tear flowed from the corner of Ning Tianyu's eyes, and she left Ning Tiantang's Begonia Courtyard step by step, to continue what she was unwilling to do but had to do.
