Chapter 42: Cinderella's Banquet
You are not satisfied, your whole family is not satisfied!
Gentlely, she stepped on the wheel, turned around and glared at him fiercely: "Second Young Master, didn't I say that you have always been disliked by women, do you really not reflect on why?"
Xiao Jingtang raised his eyebrows, looked at the gentleness, but did not rush to argue, but stretched out his hand to push her into the carriage, and then sat down and said, "Why do you think I am not popular?"
"I can't speak!" Gentle hatred itched her teeth: "Women like to praise, do you understand praise? Can't you praise me well?
"If I praise you, you will like me?" Xiao Jingtang raised his eyebrows.
"No, it won't. Gentle replied without thinking about it.
His eyes darkened, the second young master's jaw tightened, and he sneered: "A woman like you won't like me because of a compliment, and then it's even more impossible for others, so what's the use of compliment?"
"Can it make people more harmonious and harmonious with each other, do you understand?" said gently and angrily: "I scold you every day, do you hate me?
"Don't. Spit out these two words coldly, Xiao Jingtang twisted his head to the side, and his face was very ugly.
Gentleness: "......"
This person must not be able to get a graduation certificate in kindergarten in modern times, he is simply naΓ―ve and a ghost!
He didn't speak, so she didn't say either, the two of them twisted their heads to one side, crossed their arms and puffed out their mouths, and went back to Xiao's house in silence all the way.
When she saw the red silk at the door, she remembered that today was the day when Xiao Jingtang took a concubine, and after this person finished the banquet, he even went out with her for an afternoon!
It was almost dusk, and she looked down at herself gently, thinking about politely saying thank you, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiao Jingtang's expressionless dead face, and she was angry when she saw it, so she simply didn't say anything and went straight to the house.
Second Young Master Xiao stood at the door and didn't move, and when she went in, she let people lead the horse, and she didn't need dinner, so she turned around and went to the porcelain kiln.
At this year's ceramic conference, he put a lot of thought into preparing a carved and hollowed out fine porcelain vase. The bottle is as thin as paper, and the hollow carving is even more beautiful, plus the gem-inlaid base, it must also be able to amaze the party.
Originally, it was Pei Ji who was a little threatened, but I heard that there was an inner ghost in their porcelain kiln, and the things prepared had been broken, so he must not be able to come up with a better one for a while.
Thinking of Pei Fangwu, Xiao Jingtang frowned slightly, still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He really has nothing to do with Du Wenwen?
On the day of the ceramic conference, Gentle was picked up early in the morning.
"I'm sleepy. She didn't open her eyes, she flattened her mouth, hugged the person next to her and coquettishly: "Let me sleep for another five minutes, just five minutes, okay?"
Xiao Jingtang stared at the person hanging on him, and snorted coldly: "It's about to dawn, did you steal cattle last night?"
"Do you blame me?" muttered in a daze, gentle and aggrieved: "A few little girls play mahjong here and forget it, or pull me to watch the cards!"
In order to welcome Yun Dianyan, Ling Wanmei took her head and took her to play mahjong together, and the five people took turns, and those who lost a lot went down to watch. There are always disagreements between partial, so I quarrel with her a few times, so that she sleeps in the middle of the night, and now she has to get up before dawn, and let people live?
Impatiently tearing the person off her body, Xiao Jingtang reached out and pressed her in front of the dressing table and motioned for Shufang to clean it up for her. Shu Fang was not ambiguous, wiped her face and rinsed her mouth for Wen Wen and began to apply makeup.
Gentle leaned on something and slept without hesitation, and when she slept about the same, she opened her eyes and saw that she was already a noble classical beauty in the bronze mirror.
"Where are you going?" asked softly, yawning.
"Shattered Star Tower. Xiao Jingtang said: "I have eaten there all day today." β
"Oh. Gentleness just asked, "Is there any meat?"
Looking at this point, he was really a little worried about taking her out to be embarrassed! Xiao Jingtang gritted his teeth, pinched her waist and walked out: "There is so much meat that it can choke you to death!"
"Then I'm relieved. "Smash your mouth and follow me gently and obediently into the car.
Second Young Master Xiao, who was sitting opposite her, kept looking at her, his eyes full of worry.
"What, isn't it pretty?" raised her eyebrows gently, "But you chose it." β
"It's not pretty. Xiao Jingtang closed his eyes: "I'm afraid that your behavior can't stand up to this outfit." β
If you go to the Shattered Star Tower and eat as if you haven't seen meat in eight lifetimes, then the Xiao family's reputation will really be damaged.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm a very measured person. Gently raised his chin: "Isn't it just a high-class party?
After saying that, he immediately straightened his waist, reached out and stroked his ear hair, and then folded his hands on his knees, and smiled with great grace.
Xiao was stunned and frowned slightly.
Why does this person look the same for a while? Can he really become anything?
So when is she the most authentic person?
The car stopped suddenly, gentle and a little happy: "Arrived so soon?"
"You're waiting in the car. Xiao Jingtang said this, got out of the car, and after a while, he came back with a pair of embroidered shoes, and threw them to her very casually: "Change this on." β
Gentle stunned for a moment, and then looked at the small embroidered shoes, white satin embroidered with red brocade, and the pattern on the upper of the shoes just corresponded to the one on her bandeau chest, but it was a set of correct. Yesterday, I bought clothes and head, but I didn't pay attention to my shoes.
Refreshingly changed in the car, his gentle mood was a little better, and he looked at the person opposite and asked, "Surely you haven't heard the story of Cinderella and the crystal slipper, right?"
"Hmm. Xiao Jingtang was a little tired, leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes: "The road is still long, you can talk about it." β
Seeing that he really gave her blood, Gentle said patiently: "Once upon a time there was a little girl, her mother died, her father married her stepmother, and her stepmother abused her and often let her stay in the ashes, so everyone called her Cinderella......"
Gentleness is childlike, Disney has not seen less, although the values are not necessarily the same as Disney's, but there is still a girl's heart for the prince to ride a white horse to save him, so when it comes to this story, it is with relish.
However, after a story was finished, the carriage did not stop, and the person on the other side did not open their eyes.
"Sleeping?" pouted unhappily and muttered softly, "It's white." β
"You mean, are you Cinderella?" Xiao Jingtang, who had his eyes closed, said lightly: "I am your fairy mother-in-law, I gave you a beautiful dress and snow brocade shoes, and you are going to see the prince?"
When he said the last sentence, his voice was an octave colder, and he shook his head softly in fright: "Let's tell a story, don't substitute yourself, okay?" I just want to say that these shoes are very beautiful, like a princess's crystal slipper." β
Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Jingtang looked at her and said, "The door is not right, your prince marries Cinderella back, and Cinderella may not be able to live many good days." β
"It's just a fairy tale, for children, can we be less vulgar?" Gentle rolled her eyes: "You really don't have romantic cells." β
The car finally stopped, Xiao Jingtang got up and went down, and whispered when he passed her: "It is impossible for people from two worlds to be together, this is a truth that children should know." β
Slightly stunned, Gentle couldn't help frowning at him: "Aren't the aunts you marry also people from two worlds with you?
"They have to come, not what I want. β
A low word, the voice was so soft that I didn't hear it clearly, I looked at his back blankly, and it took a while to remember to get out of the car and hurriedly follow.
The Shattered Star Tower is the largest gathering place for scribes in Yukijo, and it is usually a place where people with vassal elegance talk about the world, but there is a day every year when it is filled with the smell of copper.
Today is a day full of copper smell, gently following Xiao Jingtang's side, watching many people in luxurious brocade clothes walking inside, for a moment there is an illusion of a modern accompanying boss to a drinking party.
"The second young master of the Xiao family has arrived?" The little guy who greeted them at the door was extremely excited when he saw them, and as soon as he shouted, the people around him all looked over.
Gentle was a little nervous, but she didn't show any on her face, and followed Xiao Jingtang, who had a calm face, to walk inside. However, before he took two steps, he was already surrounded by people.
"The second young master is here? β
"I heard that the third prince is also here today, but except for the second young master, no one else knows him, so the second young master might as well identify us, so that we don't collide." β
The faces that were full of wrinkles with a smile were gentle when they looked at it, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies. The people next to her didn't smile like a big mountain, stretched out their hands to protect her and kept walking inside, completely ignoring these people.
For a moment, Gentle felt that this person had a dead face was still quite useful, at least it could scare away many uninteresting people.
In the box on the second floor of the Shattered Star Building, Xuanyuan Jing was chatting with Pei Fangwu, and he heard the little guy at the door say, "Xiao Er Shao has arrived." β
Pei Fangwu paused, and the hand holding the teacup tightened.
Xuanyuan Jing was happy, waved his hand to open the door, looked at Xiao Jingtang and said: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come and talk to Pei Ji's owner, I asked him where the glass beads came from for a long time, but he refused to tell me." β
This was a joke, but he was already a little angry, and he stiffened when he heard it.
It's this person again, how can this person who wants to kill her stay ghostly, and she can be met anywhere?
"What is the third prince anxious about?" Xiao Jingtang smiled, sat down gently, and then said: "Every business has things that can't be said, and you don't have to be strong. Aren't the beads that the mother wants already ready?"
Sitting opposite Pei Fangwu, he raised his eyes gently and quickly to look at him.
There has been no connection in the past few days, and when I look at it again, Pei Fangwu has lost a lot of weight for some reason.
