"Tap tap tap..."
Seven horses galloped in the racecourse and circled along the edge of the racecourse. Among them, five tall horses were far ahead, and a white horse and a slightly shorter red horse were lagging behind.
"Call——"
Nangong Xin pulled the reins, letting the black horse slowly slow down, and finally stopped at the pavilion beside the racecourse. Behind him were a black horse on the snow, a white horse and two brown horses. They were only less than one horse length behind him, and they also slowed down. Although Nangong Yue's black Dawan horse was A little behind the four of them, but still chasing after them.
"Yaoguang County Master, your riding skills are really good!" Chen Quying on one of the brown horses praised without hesitation. As he spoke, he glanced at Nangong Xin in surprise.
When she first met Nangong Xin, Chen Quying felt a little pity that the young man had a weak mind, but she never thought that his riding skills were so good. Although several of them were not racing horses and did not try their best, Nangong Xin seemed to be able to do it with ease and enjoy it very much. It is estimated that if they really compare, the outcome will be hard to say!
Nangong Yue jumped off the horse skillfully and was about to speak. At this time, she heard another sound of "Hu--", and the white horse and the red horse, which were far away from everyone, finally rode up. These two horses Sitting immediately were Jiang Yixi and Yuan Yuyi. Yuan Yuyixiang, who was on the red horse, said dripping with sweat: "Yue'er, your riding skills are really good, but you have been learning for many years?"
Nangong Xin proudly answered before Nangong Yue: "My sister has not learned to ride a horse for half a year!"
At the same time, Xiao Yi, who was not far away, also jumped off his horse, Black Cloud on the Snow, and said proudly: The stinky girl can ride so well, it is all because of the good teaching of his enlightenment master. As the saying goes, famous teachers make great disciples!
"Yueer, you have only been learning for half a year?" Yuan Yuyi whispered in disbelief, "I have been learning for several years, and I am not as good at riding as you." Yuan Yuyi actually knows her own problem, Although she could ride a horse, she was timid and never dared to gallop. Letting the horse trot like just now was her limit.
In comparison, Jiang Yixi was much better. He was just worried that she would not dare to run, so he deliberately lagged behind to match her horse speed.
Nangong Yue smiled and said: "Sister Yi, I have been riding for at least an hour every day for the past six months. There is an old saying that goes well, there is no other way to do anything but what you are familiar with!"
"Sister Yue, you said it well." Jiang Yixi looked at Nangong Yue with admiration. She only felt that her sister Yue was usually gentle and cute, but now she looked heroic in this riding outfit. She looked different. A bright vitality.
"Yue'er, I have been riding for so many years, but it still takes me longer than you who have only been riding for half a year." Yuan Yuyi said with emotion, "It seems that this has something to do with talent!"
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. My brother learned to ride horses later than me, but he rides better than me."
As soon as she said this, everyone's surprised eyes fell on Nangong Xin. Although Nangong Yue can ride well, if you look closely, you will find a hint of beginner's stiffness. However, there is no trace of it on Nangong Xin. His riding posture is so natural and skillful, as if he is one with the horse, but he is just one Less than half a year of study?
In fact, Nangong Yue was once amazed at the fact that Nangong Xin was so talented in riding. His father only taught him twice before he dared to trot on a horse alone, and his body naturally found the rhythm of the horse. , as it bumped and undulated... even my father was surprised. This may be because my brother is simple-minded and does not think as much as ordinary people like them. He also likes to be close to animals by nature, so he quickly found a way to get along with horses.
Horse riding soon became one of the two siblings’ favorite pastimes. Although she always lost to her brother, she did so willingly...
Everyone present is not stupid, they are all thoughtful.
Although it is autumn now, the sun is still a little bright. Yuan Yuyi took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go to the pavilion to rest for a while. Sister Xi, Yue'er, what do you think?"
Jiang Yixi also wiped the thin sweat from his forehead with a pink handkerchief, nodded and agreed: "I have to rest for a while first."
"Brother, Sister Xi and Sister Yi and I are going to rest for a while." Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Xin gently and said, "Do you want to ride for a while longer?"
Nangong Xin looked at Nangong Yue hesitantly, and then at the black horse he sat on. In fact, he hadn't had enough riding yet. But his father and mother often told him to take care of his sister. Is that okay if he leaves his sister behind and goes horseback riding alone?
"Axin... I am a few years older than you, so I asked you to call me "Axin." A young man in a moon-white riding costume controlled the white horse and walked to Nangong Xin's black horse with a cool posture.
It was Yuan Lingbai who spoke.
As soon as he said this, he attracted several strange looks. Yuan Yuyi, Chen Quying and Tian Lianhe, who were familiar with him, all knew that he was definitely not the type to be so enthusiastic about strangers, unless he had ulterior motives... …
Yuan Lingbai was not as slow as an ox, so of course he felt the deep meaning in everyone's eyes, and he felt extremely innocent in his heart. Of course he doesn't want to make trouble, and all this is not because of his mother.
On that day, after Princess Yuncheng sent the invitation to Nangong Mansion, she summoned him, saying that she not only invited Yaoguang County Lord, but also Yaoguang in the invitation. Nangong Xin, the direct brother of the county lord, asked him to make the two brothers feel at home. She also added by the way that Nangong Xin was mentally ill, so that he could be mentally prepared.
Yuan Lingbai was dumbfounded at the time!
Is your mind defective? What exactly does it mean to be mentally deficient? He, the second master of Princess Yuncheng's Mansion, has never dealt with such a person. However, no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do. His mother had already invited people, and the Lord of Yaoguang County had also cured his sister Yi Jie'er's face. He should treat the two brothers and sisters well, both emotionally and logically.
It's just that how to entertain him made him a little confused.
But the casual Princess Ruyuncheng ignored her son's embarrassment and dismissed Yuan Lingbai with a wave of her hand.
After leaving Ronghua Residence, Yuan Lingbai almost went crazy. He invited the person over willfully, then changed hands and threw it directly to him. He really wanted to ask his dear mother, is it really okay to do this?
In short, he has been very unlucky recently! Yuan Lingbai decided that after passing this level, he had to go to Bailong Temple to burn incense sticks!
Yuan Lingbai thought about it carefully and finally made a decision. First of all, on the day of the horse race, those indifferent people must not be invited to the princess mansion. After much deliberation, in addition to Xiao Yi, Yuan Lingbai also invited Chen Quying and Tian Lianhe; as for the female family members, Yuan Lingbai Bai Ye deliberately and implicitly told his sister not to invite anyone else except Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi.
His careful consideration was indeed in vain. Jiang Yixi, Chen Quying and Tian Lianhe were really discerning people, and none of them looked at Nangong Xin strangely. As a result, today's small gathering has gone very smoothly so far...
Of course, he also admitted that although Nangong Xin was a little clumsy, she was handsome, naive but not stupid. She was not annoying, and even a little cute...at least she was better than some of the bullies in the capital. Thousands of miles.
What he didn't expect was that Nangong Xin's riding skills were so good. He was surprised and relieved at the same time. I am not afraid of people being stupid, but I am afraid that people are worthless. Since Nangong Xin is good at riding, I can guarantee that he will feel at home!
Nangong Xin naturally knew nothing about this.
"Okay." Nangong Xin nodded, "Then I'll call you..." He suddenly remembered that Nangong Yue had told him in detail about the Princess Yuncheng's Mansion before going out. He is the second oldest. "Brother Yuan?" As he said this, he glanced at Nangong Yue uncertainly, and finally felt relieved when his sister nodded affirmatively to him. Fortunately, I remembered correctly.
"Axin, it's boring to be with girls like them, we should go horse riding." Yuan Lingbai said enthusiastically, "Let's run around again to see who runs faster and wins. ..." He frowned slightly, thinking that he didn't know what to choose as the lottery. The lottery was too small and boring, but the lottery was too big, and he was worried that Nangong Xin wouldn't be able to afford it.
His eyes finally fell on Dahei and Xiaobai lying on the ground not far away.
The dog and the cat were extremely calm, yawning lazily, and Xiaobai slowly licked his front paws.
Yuan Lingbai's eyes lit up, he pointed at Dahei and said: "If you lose, give me your hound. If I lose, how about finding a famous dog for your hound to be your wife?" He felt smugly that his idea was a great one.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Xin rejected it without hesitation: "No!" After a pause, he added, "Dahei is my dog and cannot be given away!"
Yuan Lingbai didn't expect this reaction at all. He didn't know how to respond for a moment, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"I don't think so?" Xiao Yi suggested with a smile, "If Xiaobai loses, I will give Dahei a dog lady; if Axin loses, then when Dahei has a dog baby, I will give him one. How are you, Xiaobai?" He called Axin directly to Nangong Xin in a very affectionate tone, as if he had known her for a long time, which also attracted a strange look from Chen Quying.
Nangong Xin finally smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
Yuan Lingbai finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Fortunately, he did not fall short. Thinking about it again, I felt like there was something wrong with this bet.
Xiao Yi didn't let him think too much, and said again: "Count me in. If I lose, how about giving Ah Xin a famous horse?" He had just seen the rides of Nangong Xin and Yuan Lingbai. He was probably 90% sure that Yuan Lingbai would lose. As for himself, he would just let the stinky girl's brother get wet once. My elder brother is happy, and the smelly girl should be happy too.
Nangong Xin did not respond for a moment, tilted her head and looked at Xiao Yi, blinked her black and white eyes, and suddenly said: "Have I seen you before? Your voice sounds so familiar..." As he said , he wrinkled his delicate face.
Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered that in order to treat Nangong Xin's illness, he and Nangong Yue pretended to be ghosts to scare him. Unexpectedly, more than a year later, Nangong Xin still remembered this incident. Who said his brother-in-law was stupid? He's obviously incredibly smart, okay!
"Axin, this must be because we were destined in the previous life!" Xiao Yi hit the snake on the stick without any guilt, and said kindly and attentively, "From now on, just call me Ayi." He felt a little worried in his heart. Abacus, although he is one year older than Nangong Xin, it is hard to say who will be called eldest brother in the future.
"Okay, Ayi." Nangong Xin nodded innocently.
Xiao Yi's attitude was so kind that Tian Lianhe was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off. He looked at Xiao Yi and then at Yuan Lingbai, feeling that both of them were a little weird today. , I wonder if I took the wrong medicine? However, he thought with a wink: Since even Brother Xiao Yi is so kind to Nangong Xin, then his attitude should be more considerate and thoughtful...
Xiao Yi turned to Nangong Yue as if nothing had happened: "Can you please ask the county master to shout commands for us?"
Nangong Yue naturally agreed.
Chen Quying squinted her eyes and smiled thoughtfully: "Then Brother Tian and I will be a referee for you."
Three tall horses stood side by side on the starting line. After Nangong Yue shouted from "one" to "three", she saw the whip flying and the horses galloping out.
Horse hooves are flying, flying like startled swallows, and dust is flying.
Three young men in bright clothes and angry horses look like a wild horse racing picture.
For a moment, Nangong Yue was almost fascinated by the sight, and a faint layer of mist appeared in the corner of her eyes. It’s great to see a brother like this...
"Sister Yue, how about we go to the pavilion to rest and watch their game?"
At Jiang Yixi's suggestion, Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi hid in the pavilion with her. Xiaobai meowed "Meow" and rubbed the corner of Nangong Yue's skirt. Nangong Yue reached out and picked it up.
Yuan Yuyi looked at Xiaobai enviously and said: "Yue'er, your Xiaobai is so good and courageous. I remember one time I brought Xueqiu to Sister Xi's house, but she scared Xueqiu. It's broken, I almost lost it..." After that, Yuan Yuyi no longer dared to take Snowball out for a walk.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiaobai in her arms. This stupid cat seems to have had the characteristic of being ignorant and fearless since he was a child. He dared to provoke Xiao Yi when he was a child, and later he was not afraid of Dahei... Can he survive safely? Now, it’s really not easy!
"Sister Yi, do you want to hug it?" Nangong Yue asked with a smile.
Yuan Yuyi was about to nod when she heard a familiar "meow" sound, and a fat, long-haired white cat jumped to her side from behind. Yuan Yuyi was shocked. Snowball has always been domineering. Her mother had raised other cats before, but they were all bullied miserably by it. In the end, she became the only overbearing cat in the princess mansion.
But who would have thought that after the two white cats looked at each other, they sniffed each other, and then they became a ball, playing for a while and licking each other's hair. They were so harmonious that Yuan Yu Yi found it very interesting.
"They're almost done!" Jiang Yixi shouted, turning their attention back to the three horses on the racecourse.
At this time, the three people who were almost walking side by side had pulled away, but the furthest distance was only one horse body... The three horses broke through the finish line in the final sprint, and the first one was impressively It was Nangong Xin, Xiao Yi was only a horse's head behind him, and Yuan Lingbai was nearly a horse's length behind.
After that, the three of them tightened the reins and slowed down their horses.
"Axin, you win today." Yuan Lingbai was a person who could afford to lose. He said cheerfully, without showing a trace of annoyance on his face, "Give me a month, and I will find it for you Dahei." A good lady." He said with a smile, thinking this was quite interesting. While speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yi quickly, always suspecting that he was letting off steam.
After all, Xiao Yi didn’t become their eldest brother for nothing, he seemed to have lost too easily this time...
Could it be that...
In an instant, Yuan Lingbai suddenly realized that the candidate for his future "sister-in-law" was not Miss Jiang, but the head of Yaoguang County! So Xiao Yi is trying to please his future brother-in-law?
The more Yuan Lingbai thought about it, the more it made sense. He finally realized what was wrong with the bet that Xiao Yi made for Nangong Xin. The dog baby was obviously fake. What if Dahei never had a dog baby? How could he win? Isn’t winning in vain? !
Yuan Lingbai felt that he had discovered the truth, and he despised Xiao Yi, a guy who was so scheming and protective of his shortcomings!
Scorned, Yuan Lingbai still said enthusiastically: "Axin, we are so familiar with each other anyway, don't call me Yuan Erge in the future, just call me Xiaobai." He was always like this. That’s it, I hope that for the sake of my future brother-in-law, my eldest brother will beat me less often in the future.
For Nangong Xin, the name is just a title. It doesn't matter whether it is "Yuan Er Ge" or "Xiao Bai". Hearing this, he nodded vigorously and said, "Okay. Xiao Bai!"
The others on the sidelines became more and more confused, thinking: What happened to the former second master?
But Yuan Yuyi had some idea: what her mother, Princess Yuncheng, said to her second brother, she also said to herself. It was just a warning to her second brother, but a kind word to herself.
However, even if my mother had warned me, my second brother would not be so attentive with his temper. What is going on...
This morning was definitely a happy one for both host and guest. After lunch at the Princess Mansion, everyone left separately.
Nangong Xin left in Nangong Yue’s Zhulun car, as did Dahei and Xiaobai. In the carriage, Nangong Xin was still in high spirits, her cheeks were flushed, and she was smiling from ear to ear: "Sister, today is so interesting! Can we go horse riding at Xiaobai's house in the future?"
"Of course!" Nangong Yue said affirmatively, "Even if the former second master doesn't invite you, you can still invite him."
With Princess Yuncheng’s invitation this time, no one will miss my brother when there is an invitation to the Nangong family in the future, and they will even add it specially. After all, even the eldest princess of Yuncheng invited someone warmly, so it would be unjustifiable for other palaces not to invite her.
After going back and forth like this, Grandma Su will no longer have the opportunity to hide her brother in the house and prevent others from seeing him. As for the elder brother who wanted to invite someone to the house, and the person he invited was the youngest son of the eldest princess of Yuncheng, it was probably too late for the grandmother to be happy, so how could she refuse to agree?
Nangong Yue raised the corners of her lips. Compared with the four words "Hui Zhi Lan Xin" that Princess Yuncheng asked the emperor to give her, there is no doubt that this invitation is what she values the most.
This was the first time for Nangong Xin to have friends other than family members. Her smile became brighter and she nodded vigorously: "I'll tell my mother when I get back!"
The two brothers and sisters talked happily, and even Yimei, Baihui and Nangong Xin's maid Qingya who were standing beside them also smiled.
While talking, the carriage passed by a busy street. Hearing the noise outside, Nangong Xin curiously opened a corner of the car curtain and looked outside. While looking, he excitedly said to Nangong Yue:
"Sister! There are candied haws for sale there!"
"Sister! I saw the paper kite, it's such a big eagle!"
"Sister! Look, someone is making a face over there!"
……
Nangong Yue looked at him with a smile and responded from time to time. But at this moment, Nangong Xin suddenly let out a soft sigh, turned around and said, "Sister, it's Auntie and Sister Liu!"
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment. She followed Nangong Xin to open the curtains and glanced across the street. She happened to see two familiar figures walking into the Jinyu Shop, Yuhuangxuan.
Nangong Yue could not be mistaken, it was indeed Zhao and Liu Qingqing!
But, how could they be together? Nangong Yue knew very well how much Zhao hated Liu Qingqing...
Not only Nangong Yue couldn't figure it out, Liu Qingqing was also confused.
She was reading in her room today, but Zhao suddenly sent her maid to look for her. At that time, Liu Qingqing was already mentally prepared that Zhao would make things difficult for her again, but unexpectedly, Zhao seemed to Forgetting what happened last time, he greeted her very politely to accompany him to the Jinyu Shop.
Liu Qingqing had no reason to refuse and could only follow him out.
Zhao was very affectionate to her along the way. Although Liu Qingqing should be happy that Zhao could change his attitude towards her, she had an indescribable weird feeling, and she always felt that something was not right.
Until she stepped into the gate of Yuhuangxuan, the weirdness in Liu Qingqing's heart still did not lighten a bit, but her face did not show any signs of it, and she walked about half a step behind Zhao in a dignified manner.
Yuhuangxuan is the most prestigious gold and jade shop in the capital. All the people coming in and out are richly dressed dignitaries and ladies from aristocratic families. The shop is elegantly and luxuriously decorated, with pieces of exquisite jewelry placed on the glass counter.
While Zhao took Liu Qingqing into the shop, she observed Liu Qingqing's expression and behavior without leaving any trace.
If a child from an ordinary poor family entered the Jade Phoenix Pavilion, he would be a little shy and look shabby and shameful.
But Liu Qingqing was different. Although she was dressed simply, she had no inferiority complex at all. When she saw those expensive jewelry, there was only a hint of admiration in her eyes, without any envy or greed.
At this time, even Mrs. Zhao could not help but sigh in her heart: If Liu Qingqing's family background had not declined, she might not have been an excellent daughter-in-law candidate.
But...
Zhao's heart only softened for a moment, and then hardened again.
Nothing or anyone can compare with her brother Sheng's future!
Brother Sheng is her only son and the eldest son of Nangong Mansion. He will inherit the entire Nangong Mansion in the future. How can he let a girl like Liu Qingqing ruin her future?
So, Liu Qingqing’s trouble must be solved!
Ms. Zhao's eyes flashed, and then she affectionately pulled Liu Qingqing towards the glass counter on the right. She glanced around casually, then pointed at one of the white jade and said distractedly: "Sister Qing, what do you think about this jade?" How do you feel?"
I saw that the white jade center was made of the finest white jade with extremely delicate flower leaves and petal-shaped supports. The flower stamens were inlaid with hibiscus stones, purple fluorite, malachite, moonstone, sapphire, etc. that were smaller than a grain of rice. , both exquisite and gorgeous.
Liu Qingqing nodded, the style of this jewelry was obviously more suitable for girls, so she responded cautiously: "This white jade is transparent and exquisitely made. It will definitely look very beautiful if worn on Sister Qing's head. ”
Zhao's mouth curled up, but she was not in a hurry. She nodded and said, "Sister Qing has really good taste. This jade will definitely look great on Sister Qing's head." Following her, she ordered those around her. The maid asked her to tell the shopkeeper to keep this jade for them.
Ms. Zhao continued to pull Liu Qingqing forward to a glass counter, and pointed lightly with her bare hand: "Sister Qing, what do you think of this jade phoenix hairpin?"
The jasper phoenix hairpin is green all over, with a transparent and warm color. It is carved from a single piece of fine jasper. The body of the hairpin is carved with a lifelike colorful phoenix, and a lotus blossoms on the head of the hairpin, which is completely natural.
Liu Qingqing didn't need the hairpin yet, so she thought that Zhao was buying it for herself, nodded and said, "It's so ingenious and elegant."
Zhao's lips curled up and she said softly: "Sister Qing, I remember that you will be getting hairpins next year. How about my aunt giving this hairpin to you?"
Liu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Zhao was showing courtesy for nothing and must have some agenda, so she refused and said, "Aunt Nangong, Qingqing..."
Ms. Zhao took her hand, patted it gently and said, "Sister Qing, are you still angry with your aunt?"
Zhao's words made Liu Qingqing speechless and she could only reply: "Qingqing doesn't dare."
"Then accept it and treat it as my aunt apologizing to you for what happened last time."
Since Mrs. Zhao said so, Liu Qingqing really had no reason to refuse, so she could only say thank you and accept the valuable jade phoenix hairpin.
Ms. Zhao seemed satisfied. With a smile on her face, she took Liu Qingqing around the Jade Phoenix Pavilion for a long time. She also bought some jewelry for herself and Nangong Cheng, and finally decided to return home with satisfaction.
The two of them walked towards the carriage together, surrounded by the maids.
A maid first helped Zhao get into the car, and then just as Ziying was about to help Liu Qingqing get into the car, a middle-aged woman suddenly shouted angrily from the front right: "Where is this beggar! He's running rampant... ”
Liu Qingqing's movements couldn't help but stopped for a moment, and she intuitively looked in the direction of the sound. She saw two ragged, unkempt beggars rushing toward the carriage with white-faced steamed buns in their right hands. There was another one behind. The fat man chased after him angrily: "Damn beggar, you dare to steal my steamed buns. If I catch you, I will take you to see the official!"
"Girl, be careful!" Ziying screamed and hurriedly stepped forward to block Liu Qingqing's front, thinking: She must not let these dirty beggars collide with her girl.
But the next moment, she let out a low cry and was hit so hard by the previous beggar that she fell to the ground. Another beggar behind was rushing toward Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing's pretty face turned pale and she quickly tried to step back. Her movements were a bit hasty, her steps staggered slightly, and she was about to fall. At this time, she heard a slightly familiar sound. An urgent voice came from behind.
"Miss Liu, be careful!"
Liu Qingqing recognized that this was Zhao Ziang's voice. She frowned slightly, glanced back quickly, and saw Zhao Ziang rushing towards her with a worried look on his face. Seeing that his hands were about to embrace her, Liu Qingqing's pretty face froze, and she quickly held onto the carriage with her right hand, stabilized her body, and hid sideways.
Zhao Ziang stretched out his hands in a daze, standing like a fool, and thought to himself that it was a pity. If he helped Liu Qingqing at this time, it would be too suspicious, so he could only withdraw his hand in a dignified manner.
Ziying reluctantly climbed up, rushed over to help Liu Qingqing, and asked worriedly: "Girl, are you not scared?"
"I'm fine." Liu Qingqing smiled reluctantly at Ziying, then expressed her gratitude to Zhao Zi, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your help!"
"You're welcome! Zhao didn't help much either." Zhao Ziang responded politely, "As long as the girl is fine."
"Thank you Mr. Zhao for your concern. I will take my leave first." Liu Qingqing saluted again, and then got into the carriage with Ziying's help.
Zhao, who was sitting in the carriage, saw her coming up and asked with concern: "Sister Qing, are you okay?" She was like an elder who was worried about her younger generation, holding Liu Qingqing's hand and asking carefully Looked at it carefully.
"I'm fine!" Liu Qingqing said with a gentle smile on her face, "Thank you for your concern, aunt!"
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao looked relieved, then raised her voice slightly and asked, "Is this Ang Ge'er outside?"
"Aunt, this is my nephew." Zhao Ziang saluted respectfully, "My nephew happened to go to the bookstore to buy some used books today, but I didn't expect to meet my aunt's car."
Ms. Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Ang, it's really good that you are so studious."
After a few words of greeting, Zhao Ziang resigned.
The carriage began to move forward with a clatter. Zhao patted Liu Qingqing's hand and said fearfully: "There were not so many beggars in the capital in the past. Those two must be refugees from Huaibei. Fortunately, Ang Ge'er is here, if he accidentally bumps into you, what will happen?"
Liu Qingqing lowered her eyes, with a series of things that just happened echoing in her mind, and she responded obediently: "Yes, fortunately Mr. Zhao arrived in time."
Having said that, she always felt a little strange in her heart: last time I heard from her brother, the refugees in Huaibei were being sent back to their places of origin one after another, and the court had also dealt with those corrupt officials. Although the specific details were not something that she, a woman in a boudoir, could find out, she always felt that these two beggars had nothing to do with the refugees in Huaibei. And their appearance was too inexplicable, as well as Zhao Ziang... Is this really just a random coincidence?
Liu Qingqing couldn't help but frowned.
Ms. Zhao nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Yes, it's really a coincidence. It's also fate." As she said that, she looked at Liu Qingqing's expression, but saw that he looked calm, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't reveal his little daughter at all. The shyness of the family.
Ms. Zhao felt a little disappointed, but she continued without giving up: "Among the many nephews in my natal family, Ang Ge'er is the most outstanding. His appearance and knowledge are all first-rate. Maybe this spring will be the best." Being named on the gold list can be regarded as a honor for our Zhao family."
Liu Qingqing took advantage of the situation and congratulated: "If this is true, then I really have to congratulate my aunt."
Ms. Zhao praised gushingly: "Not to mention our appearance and talent, our Ang Geer's character is also outstanding. All the elders in the clan praised him. Even the governor of Qingzhou, my hometown, met him, and he also praised it. What a commendation!"
Liu Qingqing thought that the Zhao family wanted to show off their children of the Zhao family, so she smiled and congratulated the Zhao family: "Then I really have to congratulate my aunt, the Zhao family, for having such talented and clean children. It's no wonder that Mr. Zhao is so outstanding. Auntie looked happy and praised again and again."
What Liu Qingqing said was obviously a compliment, but when Zhao heard it, she felt it was extremely strange. After savoring it carefully, her expression suddenly changed.
Ms. Zhao praised Zhao Ziang for his good knowledge, good character, and cleanliness. Those who don't care, just think that she is simply praising her junior, and those who have more thoughts, wouldn't they think that she intends to recruit Zhao Zi'ang as her son-in-law.
When she thought of this, Zhao felt bad all over and had no intention of flirting with Liu Qingqing anymore.
Liu Qingqing saw that Mrs. Zhao suddenly lost interest. Although she didn't know the reason, she was still glad that her ears were finally quiet.
Back at Nangong Mansion, Zhao did not keep her anymore and dismissed her hastily.
That night, Liu Qingqing, full of doubts, went to bed early under Ziying's service.
On today’s trip, one play after another took place. Liu Qingqing’s spirit was extremely tense. After returning to Hefengyuan, she felt exhausted and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. past.
When the moon reached its zenith, the Hefeng Courtyard was silent, and everyone fell asleep...
No one knew that a petite figure walked up to the door of Liu Qingqing's room. Seeing no one around, she gently opened the door and tiptoed into the house. Make some noise.
Under the moonlight, she walked to Liu Qingqing's dressing table and saw a purse made by Liu Qingqing placed on it. She immediately beamed with joy. She picked up the purse and turned to leave, but she didn't want to think that she was sleeping soundly. Liu Qingqing suddenly turned over and faced the outside of the bed. She was so frightened that she froze instantly and stood there without daring to move. She thought to herself: It's over!
After a long while, Liu Qingqing's eyes were still closed and there was no sign of waking up. She breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed out of Liu Qingqing's room, closing the door gently. After carefully exiting Hefengyuan, I felt really relieved!
She finally fulfilled her mission!
She lowered her head and looked at the purse in her hand, then quickly ran towards the west door.
Outside the west door, there was a young man in Tsing Yi looking anxiously. When he saw a little maid running over panting, his eyes instantly lit up.
When the little maid ran up to him, the servant quickly asked: "Have you got it?"
"Of course!" The little maid handed a purse to the boy with a smile on her face, "Leave it to your young master!"
The young man looked at the exquisitely made purse, smiled, and said flatteringly: "Thank you sister this time!" After saying that, he thrust a silver nugget into the little maid's hand.
The little maid accepted it with a smile, looked around a few times warily, and then cautiously left the side door.
