Chapter 441: Illusion (12)
The carriage of the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion was already waiting outside the gate of the Wei Mansion, and most of the people living in this area were some bureaucrats.
"Didn't the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion have a quarrel with the Wei Mansion, how could there be a carriage parked here?"
"Zhong Yuwan is a powerful character, otherwise she wouldn't be able to overpower the sisters of the Hou Mansion at the beginning, and she curry favor in front of the Hou Ye alone. Someone said thoughtfully, "Most likely I begged Master Hou to be soft-hearted again." ”
"Snort, the Marquis of Dingyuan is also blind, why was he fascinated by a concubine, and gave birth to the eldest daughter. The young woman's voice was disdainful.
"Die'er, don't talk nonsense!" the man scolded in a low voice, "Don't worry about other people's affairs, in short, you still have to be polite when you see the people of the Wei Mansion in the future, don't show your badness." ”
"Got it, mother. The girl's silver bell-like laughter rang out, and she said coquettishly, "I'll just say a word in front of you, let's go quickly, the street will be lively today." ”
The carriage passed slowly, and after a while, Wei Qianyue came out of the gate of the Wei Mansion, she was dressed up extraordinarily delicately today, which made Lin Wushengsheng, who came to pick up people, dumbfounded.
"What, dumbfounded?" she scoffed, "Do you have to fight again to recognize you?"
As soon as he spoke, his true form was revealed, Lin Wu twitched the corners of his mouth, hugged his fists and saluted, "Miss Wei, the prince has already gone to Pinghu to paint the boat first, please get in the car." ”
"Hmm. She nodded casually, skipped the little guy who stepped forward to support her, and got into the carriage on tiptoe. Seeing this, the big girl behind her suddenly changed her face, but the old man had told her to take a good look at the eldest lady, and she must not have any rude and indecent behavior, but the young lady's force value is too high, how can she persuade it?
Lin Wu was not surprised, and after asking Wei Qianyue's meaning, he arranged for the maid to sit in the carriage behind, and he condescended to set up the carriage himself.
Yanjing Pinghu Lake has always been the most lively place in Kyoto, especially the Tangram Festival, which is crowded with people and vendors. However, the place where the children of the eunuchs play is naturally separated from the common people, and they can not only see the beautiful scenery from afar, but also have sufficient space for activities.
The carriage of the Hou Mansion walked for half an hour before it arrived near Pinghu, and because there were too many people traveling today, the last short distance had to be walked to it. Fortunately, this section of the road has long been separated by officers and soldiers, and even if you walk, you will not be embarrassed by others.
Wei Qianyue slowly followed behind Lin Wu, and swept the night view of Pinghu Lake, the end of the huge Pinghu Lake was brightly lit and the lake was blue. Orange lanterns painted on oil paper hang along the perimeter of the lake, and four huge painting boats are parked in the middle of the lake, separated by some distance from each other, making them stand out among the twenty or so dinghys.
After walking for a while, Lin Wu stopped at the edge of a small boat and said respectfully, "Miss Wei, the prince is already waiting on the painting boat, please go directly to the middle of the lake to board the boat." ”
She looked down at the boat seriously, the wooden material swayed lightly, it looked quite solid, and the man holding the boat was also wearing the clothes of the Hou Mansion, there should be no surprise......
didn't have time to think about it, Lin Wu urged again, she picked up the hem of her skirt, and with the help of the maid with her, carefully got on the wooden boat.
There were three people in a boat, and the guards who supported the boat were skillful, and the lake pushed the boat to row quickly to the middle of the lake. Wei Qianyue watched his quick movements, and gradually relaxed her heart, not to blame her for being too guarded, after all, the so-called kindness was originally fake. What if Zhong Yao had already seen through it and wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on himself?
The boat arrived at the middle of the lake calmly, the painting boat of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo floated to the lake, making the night of Qiqiao more lively. Before Wei Qianyue could come back to her senses, someone on the painting boat had already lowered the plank, revealing a simple staircase.
A man who looked like a guard shouted from above, "Miss Wei, please board the ship." ”
Wei Qianyue picked up the skirt again, secretly complaining that tonight's outfit was too heavy, and if she accidentally started it, she was afraid that it would be a big burden.
Ascending the stairs to the painting boat, the little maid who had been waiting for a long time immediately led her to the wing room on the second floor.
Wei Qianyue looked all the way and found that the painting boat was divided into two layers, and the bottom floor was a large chase room, and there were many people coming from the crack in the door. The little maid took her around the bottom floor, went directly to the top floor from the outside deck, came to the innermost wing and knocked on the door, "Lord Shizi, Miss Wei has arrived." ”
The person inside seemed to pause, and after a few breaths, he said in a faint tone, "Come in." ”
Only then did the little maid push open the door and say to Wei Qianyue, "Miss Wei, please come in." ”
Wei Qianyue has been in the Guzi Temple for six years, but it is the first time to come to such a place, although she still remembers the teachings of Granny Chen, she is more willing to act with her heart, so she walked into the wing room generously, and bowed slightly, "The prince is well." ”
Zhong Yao glanced at her outfit, raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Wei is still so unkind, sit down." ”
There is only one servant serving tea in the gorgeous wing, and there is a custom-made couch next to the window of the wide-open lakeside Xuan, which is paved with plain soft brocade and placed with a few futons. There is also an expensive ebony table on the couch, and tea and snacks are readily available.
The maid who came with her was left outside the door, and Wei Qianyue had to carry her skirt to the couch by herself, and it took a lot of effort to sit on the futon.
Zhong Yao looked at her with a smile and said, "Miss Wei is such a dashing person, isn't it some kind of delusion to go to the appointment in such a costume?"
She rolled her eyes unabashedly, and said coolly, "Zhong Shizi is afraid that he didn't misunderstand something, Wei Sen paid Zhong Yuwan to block it, where is the reason for me not to cooperate." ”
"Huh. The other party smiled lightly, his attitude couldn't tell whether he was a friend or foe, and said with deep meaning, "After leaving your mansion that day, this prince has been thinking, what is the purpose of Miss Wei's sudden appearance in the guest house?"
Wei Qianyue's heart tightened, but she said angrily on her face, "Naturally, it is sabotage, and Wei Sen and they will not succeed, why does Zhong Shizi have other ideas?"
"This son is not a fool. Zhong Yao hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, "But no matter what, no matter how you say it, you can save me once, and I will return it to you today, and it will be cleared up in the future." ”
"What are you going to take?" Wei Qianyue's face changed, and she looked at him with some uneasiness, what kind of moth is this guy going to have.
"I heard you've been looking for You Xuzi lately?"
Wei Qianyue's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed, "Can you let me see him?"
Zhong Yao didn't answer her directly, he turned his head slightly and instructed the little servant, "Go and invite the national teacher to come over, and only say that his request has been approved by this prince." ”
"Yes. The little servant replied respectfully, and immediately withdrew from the house.
Wei Qianyue looked at him curiously and asked, "What did you promise him?"
Zhong Yao glanced at her unkindly, "Lingzhu, don't you want to take a look at it too?"
