Chapter 004: Money-loving and gold-hungry
"Xuanxuan!" In a short silence, Fu Yun appeared and shouted anxiously, "What's the matter?" Is there anything wrong with you? ”
Seeing her brother, all the strength that was pressing on Fu Xuan's heart immediately collapsed, her eyes turned red, she stood up with Fu Yun's outstretched hand, hid beside him, and cried aggrieved, "Brother, someone pushed me into the water......"
The beauty wept and trembled, and as soon as the pitiful voice with grievances came out, many Langjun who came with Fuyun around the ground suddenly felt compassion, and there was a burst of restlessness in the crowd.
or sighing, or indignant voices came from among the Lang Jun, and my sister's golden beans kept falling, all like invisible swords, piercing straight to the tip of Fu Yun's heart. He endured his anger, raised his Tsing Yi wide sleeves, wiped his tears for Fu Xuan, and comforted him gently: "It's okay, my brother is here." ”
Then he looked at Xie Zhan fixedly, and asked in his words: "Sixth Prince Xie, but do you know who did it?" ”
Fu Yun is a quiet and gentle person, but at this moment, because of Fu Xuan, his eyes showed a rare fierceness. His eyebrows were not sharp, and his angry appearance was more like a mighty wolf dog, vigilantly protecting the little cub behind him.
Xie Zhan's heart tightened, and the jerky discomfort that had just arisen in his throat was even worse at this moment.
He looked away, landing on Xie Yuan first. Ling Yan's eyes swept away, and he was silent, but everyone knew that he was questioning.
Xie Yuan's robe was soaked, he was shivering from the cold, and in the face of this cousin of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he didn't dare to lie, he only trembled: "Cousin, I, I, I jumped when I heard someone shouting 'help'." was going to save her, but I didn't expect it, I drowned, and in the end, I was saved by her. ”
"Who?" Xie Zhan asked coldly, glancing around the crowd, asking who was calling for help.
The vast jade tree, the cold and handsome Lang Jun's eyes looked at him, and the girls blushed their cheeks for a moment, revealing a shyness.
No one answered for a long time, and Xie Zhan said impatiently, "Huh? "Yes.
This voice was extremely thin, with an indescribable sense of oppression. Xie Zhan stood there like this, his identity, status, power, and temperament all suppressed everyone present.
The air was deadly frozen, and the atmosphere suddenly stiffened.
Suddenly, under the invisible coercion, a woman in pink finally stood out in the crowd, and said in a trembling voice: "It's a slave...... When the slave saw someone falling into the water, she called for help. ”
When everyone heard the sound, Fu Xuan was shocked, it was the maid of Wang Ai, the girl of the Wang family.
She knew this person, and Xie Zhan naturally recognized it.
He narrowed his eyes, swept his gaze over the girl of the Wang family, and asked Fu Xuan's maid sideways, "Why not you?" ”
"The night wind is cold, and the slave maid has gone to fetch the girl's clothes." Linglong replied calmly, and added with some pride: "My girl can swim in the water, even if the slave is here, there is no need for the slave to call for help." ”
"Can anyone see the thing?" Xie Zhan asked again. He was answered by the silence of the multitude.
This is a coincidence, at that time, Fu Xuan was single and had no witnesses. The people who came to the banquet were all people from the family, and they paid attention to their faces, and everyone was asking questions, for fear that the other party would not confide in them. Xie Zhan was silent for a while, thinking about it, or find a side room, bring the relevant personnel in, and then continue to ask.
In Yu Fuxuan's opinion, she will fall into the water, and she must have nothing to do with Wang Ai. But Xie Zhan's silence at the moment was more meaningful.
She laughed at herself in her heart, if it weren't for her ability to swim, if it weren't for her cold, she sent her maidservant to get the cloak in advance, today, she is a girl who was picked up by other Langjun, and at the moment she was soaking wet, accepting everyone's unscrupulous scrutiny, embarrassed and embarrassed to help the family.
Thinking of this, she felt a chill in her heart, in the past, she was sneered at by the nobles because she was given to marry Xie Zhan, but now, she was calculated, and he was still watching from the wall, planning to save face for the Wang family.
What the truth is, I'm afraid no one cares except her.
When Xie Zhan looked over, what he saw was Fu Xuan looking at him, and in his eyes that were expectant, the bright light dimmed little by little.
The ghost sent the gods to the ground, and his heart fell.
He was about to speak, when Fu Xuan's somewhat weak voice sounded: "Gongzi Xie Yuan, I saved you today, didn't I?" ”
Xie Yuan looked at Fu Xuan inexplicably and nodded.
"I don't know how much is Xie Yuangongzi's life worth?" Fu Xuan asked angrily, without waiting for Xie Yuan to answer, and said: "How much is your life worth, why don't you send it to the Fu family." ”
After the words, everyone was shocked, and the sound of gasping in the crowd was endless, and some people whispered ridicule, "There are still people who are so greedy for money and money."
Fu Xuan's eyes were red, she tried her best to calm down, and added to Xie Yuan: "I saved you today, if you want to make a personal promise to your life-saving benefactor, I can't stand it." It's better to settle your money and life in front of my fiancé, so as not to be misunderstood. Mr. Xie Yuan, what do you think? ”
As soon as he heard "make a promise to each other", the simple-minded Xie Yuan trembled more and more in fright, he had ten thousand courages, and he didn't dare to make a personal promise to Xie Zhan's future wife. He glanced at Xie Zhan, who looked uncertain, and responded, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll ...... another day." No, it'll be delivered tomorrow! ”
**
The sunset is getting more and more radiant. The smoke willow shakes the shadow, and the wind dyes the spring.
The clouds on the horizon are reflected more dazzling by the gorgeous glow, like a huge red peony blooming in the beautiful bloom, full of fragrance and spit out, gorgeous and delicate, reflected in the clear lake water, causing the microwave ripple in the center of the lake.
Like someone.
Xie Zhan suppressed the faint smile in his eyes, withdrew his gaze from the crimson embroidered cloak, and glanced coldly at the embarrassed Wang family girl.
Just now, before Fu Xuan left, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and her eyes were not fixed on anyone, but the words were told to someone: "My clothes were smoked this morning, and I haven't had time to change them, and there may still be poison of 'scopole' on it." Those who have suffered from me today, remember, soak your hands in tea juice as soon as possible, so as not to become serious. ”
Last month, Jiankang City just had a case of deliberately killing people with scopoles, and the murderer used this poisonous weed to poison the lives of the victim's family of six. This case caused a sensation in the whole city, and the grass was also rumored to be miraculous, and everyone knew about it. Dali Temple specially issued a warning to the public, the leaves, flowers, roots, branches, fruits of this grass are poisonous, the poisoned person first has a dry mouth and hoarseness, and then delirium convulsions, and finally falls asleep, if you eat by mistake, immediately chew a large amount of tea, and then seek medical attention in time.
Only the poison of this scopole needs to be swallowed before it can be hit, how can it be dangerous if you touch it? Besides, she is still wearing this garment, how can she not be poisoned?
It's just alarmist and heart-attacking. didn't see her words fall, the daughter of the Wang family shook her wrist and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
Oh, it's a little clever.
And, regardless of the fact that so many people were watching, she said coquettishly that she couldn't walk, so Fu Yun immediately leaned on her body and let her climb on her back.
It's really arrogant.
Xie Zhan pondered with his eyes, his whole person was bathed in the glow, his cold white skin was shrouded in warm light, his eyebrows and eyes were slender, and his expression was a little rare and gentle.
The girls were already amazed by his appearance, and when they saw this scene, they looked at Fenghua Langjun obsessively, and couldn't extricate themselves. Except for Wang Ai, who was nervous, everyone seemed to have been hooked by spirits.
It's a pity that in just a moment, Shi Qing shouted "Childe", and this beautiful scenery came to naught.
Xie Zhan turned his head to look at where the voice came from, the light fell on one side of his face, half-light and half-dark, only to see that the deep eyes deepened and deepened, and the whole person seemed to form a thick layer of ice again.
"What?" Walking away from the crowd, Xie Zhan asked Shi Qing.
Shi Qing glanced at his son-in-law, and felt a little regretful that his words were too eager. You know, it seems to have a slightly happy look, which is really rare. Since he went to Dali Temple to serve, people have become more and more happy and angry.
Shi Qing replied, "Madame, please come over." ”
As shrewd as Xie Zhan, he naturally guessed Mrs. Xie's purpose.
He confirmed, "Mother has just been here?" ”
Shi Qing's jaw is the first time. I came, and stood behind the crowd, and listened silently for a long time.
Xie Zhan knocked on the folding fan behind him, and turned to look at Wang Ai, who was leaving in a hurry with the maidservant, who was opening and closing her mouth, as if she was scolding the maid with low eyebrows and bent waist. He snorted coldly and led Shi Qing to Mrs. Xie's courtyard.
Gotta spare her for once.
