Chapter 393: Shangsi Spring Outing
March 3 every year, the Qujiang pond is full of traffic, there are both the noble and prominent brocade tents stretching and setting up, there is no lack of cloth cloth people to play together, it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the peach and plum are bright and fragrant, the spring color is so enchanting, how not to be fascinating.
Although the aristocratic spring banquet, more set up brocade tents around the screen, but because it is the annual Shangsi Festival, the elders do not restrain the juniors to play and enjoy the spring, so under the willows by the water, it is always common to see men and women in fresh clothes and angry horses traveling together, and even some unmarried men and women who are good for the family, can also meet in a grand manner with the acquiescence of the elders, and there are bold and even have the opportunity to block by the flowers and willows, and quietly pull the little hand, although it is a touch of the part, but there are always teenagers who are smiling and distracted by the intimate contact, and there are always fair ladies who are suddenly ashamed.
A girl who has never been married at such an age as Eleven Niang will naturally be more free, she just sat in the brocade tent with the elders for a while, and was pulled by Jiu Niang to play by the pool, of course, there is no shortage of family servants behind her, and there are a few clan brothers to protect the left and right, "dog skin plaster" Xiao Jiulang will naturally not let go of this great opportunity, no matter how Jiu Niang looks at each other, his green horse has always followed Eleven Niang's jade dragon horse to the left.
Since the winter of the year when Renzong died, Jiulang this is the first time to meet Eleven Niang, of course, this is all due to the Empress Dowager Wei's too much, every year, although Eleven Niang has to be allowed to return home, but Xiao Jiulang will also return to his own home, and because this spring Shangyuan Festival will only let go of the banquet, so there have been many helpless misses between the two, Xiao Xiaojiu is easy to look forward to the Shangsi Festival, for this time with the lady in his heart to travel Qujiang, excited and excited, so that several nights tossing and turning can not be stable, It wasn't until he accompanied his sisters to Liu's house earlier that he finally saw the woman who was thinking about him for a long time, and his bright eyes refused to move his proportions.
Winter goes to spring, hundreds of days pass quietly, although it is still the beautiful and lovely face in the memory, it seems to add a little more beauty, the eyebrow color is more like a green feather, the cheeks are just like a red ling, the twin born quiet ink eyes, obviously more profound, but between the looks, it seems to be like a shark pearl aura, even if it is hidden in a thousand feet of secluded sea, it is still difficult to hide the scorching jade, as if it is just a casual sweep by, but in the eyes of the meeting, the purple and red have faded color, and the warbler and bird song are silent, and under the eyes of the brain, there is only the woman in the pink dress and green skirt, With a smile on his face, he asked softly: "Brother Nine has always been okay?" ”
Regarding Xiao Xiaojiu's scorching gaze, Eleven Niang has long felt it, and she is so helpless in her heart - since she noticed that this cousin had an "untimely" mind about her, Eleven Niang has been paying attention to keeping her distance, but in the past few years, the intentional estrangement has caused the other party to worry about it from time to time, and today is the case, even the two little ladies of the Xiao family have seen the clues, covering their mouths and fighting the lawsuit, their eyes continue to scan at her and Xiao Jiu, and their own nine sisters are even more angry. Although Eleven Niang is no longer worried about the trouble with her sister at this time, she still does not want to estranged her sisters because of Jiulang, so that question is not only not tender, but even a little stern and dignified, intended to remind Xiao Jiu of his gaffe.
In Xiao Jiulang's eyes, any of her moods will automatically transform into tenderness, but instead of being vigilant, she became more and more fascinated, while constantly shaking her head, while repeating "Thank you Eleventh Sister for your concern", the whole person was so excited that she seemed to immediately grow a tail to shake left and right, and that mood was really unbearable.
Xiao Xiaoniang laughed out loud: "It is said that Brother Jiu is a genius, I think he is obviously a nerd." ”
Liu Jiuniang turned the horse's head over, and forcibly "stepped in" between the two horses that were originally neck and neck, seeing Xiao Xiaojiu's annoyed glare, and his apricot eyes were also round: "Isn't the ninth brother self-aware, the eleventh sister is so easy to go home empty, joking with our sisters on this day, you are like a dog skin plaster straight up, you see that there are fourteen, some time ago you were clamoring to get off the test site, you should go to communicate with Lang Jun and the scholars, you are used to looking down on our daughter's family, why bother to come forward." ”
Xiao Xiaojiu woke up like a dream, and retorted with a stiff neck: "I don't look down on a vulgar and willful lady like you, but I have always been heartbroken by the character and talent of the eleventh sister, and today I am also on the order of my relatives to protect the sisters in the family to step on the spring, what do you have to do with Xiaojiu?" ”
"In this way, then we will go our separate ways, Eleventh sister, you come with me, you don't have to be disturbed by this smelly plaster." Although Liu Jiuniang said this, her face did not lose her earlier anger, especially after receiving the support of Eleven Niang's "action", she turned her anger into joy, and proudly gave Xiao Xiaojiu an eyebrow.
The two Xiao sisters saw that the pair of rivals were about to "open the bar" again, so they came forward to play a round together, and one said to Xiao Xiaojiu: "Ninth brother, how old are you, why are you still arguing with your cousin, if your uncle hears about it, he will definitely be punished again." One smiled sweetly at Liu Xiaojiu: "Cousin Nine annoyed Brother Nine, but he can't implicate us, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's easy to get this opportunity, and Cousin Nine can't bear it?" ”
Liu Jiuniang no longer insisted, and said with a smile: "Cousin, cousin, don't worry, I'm just scaring Xiao Jiu, so I won't be like him." ”
Seeing that the two Xiaojiu were fighting again, Eleven Niang felt backward, gossiped with Ting all the way, and sure enough, she confirmed the news that she was about to return to her hometown, and thought about it or advised: "If Sister Ting is in trouble, don't forget that the eldest mother told her in advance, don't be wronged because you don't want to go." ”
Before the words were spoken, Ting Er understood the meaning, and bowed his head slightly to Shi Niang with gratitude, and said in a low voice: "Over the years, the relatives in the clan have been sheltered, and the sisters are so friendly, especially the eleventh sister, if you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that I wouldn't even be able to see Shiro's last face, and then there will be Xiao Jiu...... If it weren't for the proper arrangement of the eleventh sister, I am afraid that Lu Rui would have been poisoned, and it would have caused a disaster because of me. ”
The first half of the sentence is okay, but the last sentence surprised Eleven Niang, Xiao Xiaojiu was kidnapped by Lu Rui, and even Mrs. Wei didn't know that she was behind it, how did Ting know about it? couldn't help but be puzzled, only listened to Ting and said again: "I have seen many things in my eyes, I was just secretly suspicious before, and I should have expected the situation of seeing the eleventh sister today." ”
"Sister Ting......"
"Don't worry, the eleventh sister doesn't want this matter to be leaked, I naturally won't talk much, but the eleventh sister, you have always been smart, you must be able to see Xiao Jiu's thoughts, you have the heart to snub him, maybe it's because of the ninth sister?"
Eleven Niang: ......
"I also quietly tried the ninth sister a few times, she really has no other thoughts about Xiao Jiu, but the two grew up together, and bickering has become a habit, and the ninth sister even said that her most disdain is to be as pretentious as Xiao Jiu and despise women, Eleventh sister, you are still young, maybe you don't know how lucky it is to meet a confidant beloved, if it is because of the ninth sister, you don't have to avoid Xiao Jiu."
Seeing that Eleven Niang was silent, Ting and did not ask any questions, she has been under the fence since she was a child, compared to her peers, she will naturally pay more attention to the world, she has long seen that although this sister is four years younger than her, her heart is far beyond her reach, don't look at getting along with her sisters, but she has never really had a heart to any of them, but Ting is still very grateful for the maintenance of this precocious and kind sister for her, so before parting, she uncharacteristically said a few words.
Eleven Niang's pedestrians didn't pay attention, on another trail not far away, there was a girl who was silently concerned, especially to Jiu Niang and Xiao Xiaojiu's dispute, and when they were sent away, the girl called the maid: "If I remember well, the group in front of me is the daughter of my aunt's family?" ”
"Exactly, the little lady is finally completely clear?!" The maidservant was pleasantly surprised.
The girl didn't answer the maidservant, and asked: "I know about Sister Liu Jiu and Sister Eleven, but I don't know who the young man in white is arguing with Sister Liu Jiu, and the two girls are strangers to look at." ”
"The young man in white has been a guest in the house, but the little lady happened to enter the palace at that time, and the maid has seen it from afar, if you recognize it well, it should be Xiao Jiulang, and the two little ladies must also be from the Xiao family."
The girl let out a long "oh": "Is it the one who won the reputation of a talented man because of his good poetry in his childhood?" ”
So he turned around and boarded the car: "Follow them." ”
The maid hurriedly said: "The little lady insisted on not letting the little ladies follow, and refused to enjoy the spring with the rest of the little ladies. ”
The girl was quite impatient: "Didn't the eldest mother also say, with you people to follow and serve, why can't you rest assured?" Besides, the cousin of the Liu family is also related to us, and it is not as good as outsiders, I haven't seen Sister Liu Eleven for a few days, and it is worth making a fuss about catching up with her? Don't talk nonsense, if you don't listen to my orders, be careful and let my mother sell you! ”
Seeing that the little master was really angry, the maid didn't dare to dissuade her, so she had to tell the driver to follow the order, with Liu, Xiao and the others along the Qujiang Pond to the west, only they were only slightly behind in this trip, not far before and after, but separated by a distance from the left and right, so that the girl as long as she rolled the gauze curtain lightly, she could quietly pay attention to the respective manners of the eleventh Niang and her party in the car window, seeing that Xiao Jiulang wanted to turn the horse's head every time, but was strongly blocked by Liu Jiuniang, so the two of them unfolded their words and arrows again, and the Xiao sisters kept busy persuading, Liu Shiniang always talked and laughed with another older woman and enjoyed the scenery, as if she was blind.
The girl couldn't help but whisper to herself: "Although I don't know if Xiao Jiulang really has a talent for poetry in seven steps, but he is a beautiful man, no wonder Liu Jiuniang has been entangled, that Liu Yishui is indeed smart, very self-aware, knowing that she can't compete with her sister as a concubine, no wonder she is a little old, she can actually get the Empress Dowager Wei's weight, just a concubine, but now no one dares to underestimate it, it seems that this Empress Dowager Wei should really like smart and talented people, so it's good, to talk about talent, I don't believe that these so-called ladies who have no insight can compare to me, as long as I am given another chance to enter the palace......"
The corners of the girl's eyes were slightly small, and she was very complacent and stroked her forehead: "Since things have been like this, I can't go back, maybe it's really fate, and I want to fight for the empress who commands the world to be a pawn, it's interesting to think about it, and if it comes, it will be safe, Xie Ying's name is destined to be passed down through the ages." ”
