Chapter 7: Hidden Thoughts
The cherry blossom viewing banquet lasted for about an hour and then ended, and all the guests took their leave. Liu Shuyue and Pang Ruyun stood in the corner of the garden of the Xiangfu, where Xia Lang accompanied Pang Ruyan to walk and chat in the corner of the garden, while the maid Zhu'er and Xiaoju waited by the carriage in front of the brightly lit Xiangfu.
Looking at the figures of Xia Lang and Pang Ruyan, Liu Shuyue couldn't help but be stunned, staring at the indigo figure.
"Sister Shuyue, Sister Shuyue. When Pang Ruyun opened her mouth to call, she saw Liu Shuyue staring at her sister and Xia Lang's figure in a daze, and a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. And Liu Shuyue had been in a trance just now, until Pang Ruyun beside her called herself, and then she came back to her senses.
"Sister Shuyue, what do you think, so obsessed. Pang Ruyun smiled on her face, and deliberately followed Liu Shuyue's gaze just now, "Are you looking at my sister and the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion? My sister is really blessed, not only is she the first talented woman in Kyoto, she has captured the hearts of many young talents in our Kyoto, and she is also engaged to the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she will be the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, and many women will not be envious." ”
"yes, that's enviable. Liu Shuyue couldn't help but echo, and the corners of her lips seemed to unintentionally hook up a wry smile. I am really envious in my heart, envy her background, envy the favor of her parents, and envy her relationship with the son of the Prime Minister. She thought about these things in her heart, but she couldn't help but say it, "What if······" , Liu Shuyue just wanted to say the sentence "How good it would be if it was replaced by me", only then did she realize what she was talking about, and quickly coughed twice to cover up her gaffe, and then her expression returned to calm, looking as if nothing happened.
Liu Shuyue lost her temper slightly, Pang Ruyun narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyebrows moved slightly, she quickly pursed her lips and smiled, and asked with interest, "What if?
Liu Shuyue didn't hesitate, and replied with a half-chuckle, "I mean, if only I could be like Sister Ruyan and find a good family." When she said this, Liu Shuyue also secretly glanced at Pang Ruyun, and saw that she didn't see any clues, so she was relieved. stroked the broken hair next to his ears, pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows.
Liu Shuyue wanted to change the topic, but Pang Ruyun was willing to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "Sister Shuyue, you said that when the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to our house several times, you were all in the same place with my sister, and you have been together for a long time, tsk, why didn't he take a fancy to you?" When Pang Ruyun said this, she smiled like nothing, and her eyes did not forget to glance at Liu Shuyue, not wanting to let go of any expression on her face.
The second lady laughed, how can I have this blessing. Liu Shuyue was a little flustered in her heart, but her face was still unfazed, her red lips were lightly raised, and she said with a smile. "Sister Ru Yan is both talented and beautiful, unparalleled in the world, how can other women compare. Besides, Xia Gongzi has admired his sister for a long time, and the two of them can be said to be a talented and beautiful pair, as good sisters, I am really happy for Sister Ruyan. ”
"My sister is the number one beauty and talent in Kyoto, and her husband is naturally one in a million, how can an ordinary woman get into his eyes? When Pang Ruyun asked rhetorically, her eyebrows were raised, her fingers were wrapped around the embroidered handkerchief, and her eyes glanced at the person in front of her.
"It's natural, I'm so happy for them. Liu Shuyue said this, she was sincere, in the past three years, Pang Ruyan has treated her considerate and caring, even if she is her own sister, I am afraid she will not be able to do this, Liu Shuyue is naturally very grateful in her heart. Now that Ru Yan is about to marry Xia Lang, the son of Xiangfu, she also gave up the regrets in her heart and was full of blessings.
"Sister Shuyue has more places to be happy, in a few days, the Prime Minister will send someone to Najib to ask for color, listen to my father's meaning, in a few months, maybe my sister will marry him." First got married, then got pregnant and gave birth, oh, my sister's happy events are one after another. Pang Ruyun's face was full of joy when she spoke, standing in the moonlight, the breeze gently blowing the corner of her gauze skirt, looking very delicate and cute. She is only sixteen years old, but she is already very delicate, and standing in the crowd is also very attractive. It's just that because of her slightly younger age and the fact that Pang Ruyan, the eldest lady of Pang Mansion, is more famous, no one has noticed this second Miss Pang yet.
"Sister Shuyue, you have to hurry up, there are not many outstanding and talented young men in Kyoto. Pang Ruyun smiled, stroked the broken hair around her ears, and kindly reminded. And Liu Shuyue was trapped in her own heart at the moment, and she was noncommittal about Pang Ruyun's words, and only replied "Thank you for your concern", and her thoughts drifted into the distance.
Liu Shuyue was thinking, and a call from afar brought her thoughts back, "Yun'er, Shuyue." ”
Liu Shuyue looked up, and a pair of beautiful people walked in the distance, which turned out to be her sister and Xia Lang's son. And Pang Ruyun next to her saw that it was her sister coming, and a smile appeared, like a delicate rose blooming on her cheeks, smiling briskly and delicately, her body turned slightly, the tassels in her ears were jingling, crisp and smart, she stepped forward and took Pang Ruyan's hand with broken steps, and called affectionately "Sister." ”
Then, Liu Shuyue also stepped forward quickly, respectfully lowered her eyes and blessed Xia Langfu, her lips were slightly dyed with a light smile, like the wind, and looked at Pang Ruyan again, and said with a smile, "Sister Ruyan, are you going back?"
"Well, it's getting late, let's go back. After that, Pang Ruyan smiled at Xia Langyingying, blessed her body and said goodbye to Xia Lang, and the tassels on her waist made a subtle collision sound, crisp and elegant. And Pang Ruyun also learned from her sister to salute Xia Lang as her daughter, and said happily, "Brother-in-law farewell!"
What brother-in-law, he hasn't married yet. Pang Ruyan has always adhered to her family education and is used to being restrained, and when she saw her sister calling Xia Lang brother-in-law, her face couldn't help but be as red as a peach blossom, and she tugged on her sister's sleeve and whispered, "Yun'er, what nonsense, you haven't married yet." Then Ru Yan was a little apologetic, bowed her body, and said to Xia Lang, "The little sister is naughty and doesn't know how to be polite, and please don't be weird." ”
Her voice with Pang Ruyun was extremely low, although Xia Lang, the son of the Xiangfu, didn't hear it clearly, but with the slight redness on Ruyan's face, he guessed a little, and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, it's okay, you and I will get married soon, so this brother-in-law can also bear it." ”
Xia Lang's eyes showed admiration, his eyebrows and eyes were full of warmth, and in addition to being happy, he also took off a piece of exquisite pure white jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Pang Ruyun, "The title of Miss Yun, this son likes it very much." This playable little object should be a gift for you. ”
Pang Ruyun took the jade pendant, and it was difficult to hide her joy between her eyebrows, the jade pendant worn by the prince of the prime minister must be of the highest quality, and she was even happier at the moment. After Pang Ruyun held the jade pendant in her hand, she didn't forget to thank Xia Lang, "Thank you, brother-in-law!" After speaking, she winked mischievously at her sister Ruyan, and her eyes were like a child getting a new dress and showing off excitedly.
In this regard, Pang Ruyan could only smile dotingly, and said goodbye to Prince Xia Lang, and then took Liu Shuyue and the excited Pang Ruyun to move towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After the group got into the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage forward quickly, and when he returned to the front of the Pang Mansion, Pang Ruyan invited Liu Shuyue to enter the mansion to rest for a while and then go back, and Pang Ruyun, who was still excited, also echoed the voice, saying that he invited Liu Shuyue to enter the mansion to taste the new Lingnan fresh fruits. How could Liu Shuyue be full of worries, she didn't want to tell, and she didn't want to be seen by them, so she deduced that it was getting late, so she borrowed the carriage of Pang Mansion and the maid Xiaoju and rushed back.
