Chang Anqing

Chapter 75
At this time, Li Sui saw that Chen Zhiyan downstairs seemed to be intertwined with others, gentle and polite, but for some reason, she could see the melancholy on her face that others could not see.

Li Sui couldn't help looking at Baoying, who was sitting opposite, and sure enough, at this moment Baoying tried her best to put her head away, and only looked at the jade cup filled with the nectar and jade in front of her eyes, drinking one cup after another.

Li Sui looked depressed, and was about to raise her hand to block, when she heard the noble lady at the next table suddenly gossiping.

"I haven't seen Bohai County King attend the Chang'an event for a long time, but now I see how it has been reduced."

Seeing a woman in a green shirt asking curiously, a little lady in a red dress beside her asked mysteriously, "You still don't know?"

As she spoke, the little lady came up mysteriously, raised her eyes and looked at the gentle and jade-like figure on the first floor and said, "Some days ago, for some reason, the King of Bohai County suddenly suffered from a serious illness, which lasted for half a month. Yu, although the person has gotten better later, his personality has changed a lot. He used to be a free and easy young man, but now he has become more stable. Everyone is guessing that the prince was hurt by love—"

Having said this, Li Sui couldn't help frowning, and almost at the same time, the faint sound of wine glasses falling on the table beside him also came to his ears.

I saw Yuzhan lying alone on the table, the Pu Tao wine inside spread out little by little, and the fragrance was overflowing, and Baoying sat there in front of me, her right hand holding the cup still stiff. His eyes could no longer be restrained and turned to move downstairs, and there was a faint urge to cry that could not be concealed.

"Look, everyone said that although this Pu Tao wine has the sweetness and sourness of grapes, it has great stamina. You don't believe it."

Under the curious eyes of the people around, Li Sui calmly pretended to be angry, while holding Baoying's hand and pinching it calmly, at this moment Baoying came back to her senses and saw her smiling eyes with deep meaning, Immediately, his hands froze, he tried his best to hide his tears, and said with a slight smile, "It seems that I can't drink this wine anymore."

Niannu next to him cleverly ordered someone to quickly clean up the mess on the table, and everything seemed to be calm again, but only Li Sui knew what kind of pain Baoying felt at the moment.

"By the way, I heard that King Linzi and Shang Shuling have had many contacts these days. The saint seems to have the intention of giving marriage."

"Give marriage? Whose marriage was given?"

At this moment, the ladies at the table were still happily discussing.

Li Sui held Baoying's hand tightly and was about to take her away from the land of right and wrong.

But hearing one sentence made Baoying's palms go cold again.

"Naturally, the marriage was given to a pair of beautiful people, the Prince of Bohai County and the San Niangzi of Shangguan."

When the words fell, Li Sui could almost see the blood on Baoying's face fade little by little.

She has known this since her previous life, but how should Baoying bear it.

"Baoying drinks a little too much. I'll take her out for a walk. You stay here so that my aunt won't see us and worry for nothing."

Li Sui knew that the situation was tense and could not wait any longer, so he ordered Niannu beside him to help Baoying out.

Baoying naturally knew Li Sui's good intentions, so she just nodded, and she was going to be supported by Huirong and leave.

"The county master—"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, Li Sui turned her eyes and saw Lady Wen on Cao's body came over respectfully, smiled and said: "Hail the county master, the saint has rewarded many things this time. , Madam said that some of them are very suitable for the county master, and she has already asked the captain, and the captain also suggested that you go over and take a look at some of the ones you like."

Seeing this seemingly friendly face in front of her, Li Sui didn't know the meaning of it, but she was afraid that she would not go, so she deliberately moved out Yang Chongyuan to her and her aunt Li to listen.

"Since Madam Cao is so interested, Aman, you should go and have a look."

Hearing Li's words, Li Sui naturally wanted to go, so she turned her head to look at Baoying with worry in her eyes.

"It's okay, you can go."

Seeing Baoying smiling gently at her, Li Sui could only suppress her annoyance, still playing Tai Chi with Wen Niang on her face: "Aman wants to thank Madam for her love."

When Li Sui followed Wenniang to Cao's house, as expected, Cao's family treated her like a half-daughter at the moment, pulled her to sit beside her, opened the gift list and ordered several things that were precious but not too luxurious. Figured out her usual preferences.

"As soon as I saw these, I felt that only you were worthy of it."

Li Sui sat next to Mrs Cao and accompany him to say a few words, only when Mrs Cao felt that the time was right and the heat was excellent, then he ordered: "I will give the gift that I just selected properly. When you go to Wuzhu Garden, don't bump it, or be careful."

Hearing Mrs Cao's words, someone quickly took the order. Li Sui also gave Mrs Cao a smile and said, "Thank you, Madam, Aman."

"You girl."

Mrs Cao smiled and touched Li Sui's hair on the temples, and said affectionately like Mrs Li: "You grew up in the Taiwei's mansion, so I will drag you up, like the Taiwei's wife, and treat you as a Half a daughter, where do you need these words."

I don't know if it was this sudden identity that blinded me, or whether it was because of alcoholism. Seeing Mrs. Cao talking like this, Mrs. Cui and others on the side were surprised when they saw it.

I don't know what Cao thinks, what is the identity of the Yongning County Lord?Her mother was a pilgrim aunt, the younger sister of the late emperor, and her father was also a direct descendant of the Li family, who came from the head of a family.

It is human nature for Mrs. Li to treat Yongning County Master as half a daughter. What kind of identity is she, Mrs. Cao, dare to say such words, it is really arrogant.

"Aman-"

At this moment, Mrs. Li, who had not said a word at first, finally made a move. She turned around to look at Mrs. Cao without even looking at Mrs. Cao, and only pointed at the red pear in front of her and said meaningfully: "This red pear is a hangover, I think you drink it. There are also a lot of them, come and use some, don’t get drunk, you will be at ease for a while, you won’t be able to sleep soundly tonight.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, and the people around her could not know what it meant.

I'm afraid that in Li's words, it is not the Yongning County Lord who should hangover when he is drunk, but Cao's.

Li Sui heard the sound and responded, and when she said goodbye to Cao, she saw that Cao's expression was not very good, but in front of her, she still maintained an easy-going way: "Go."

After going to Li's place and using a small half of a red pear, Li Sui wiped her mouth with a spar, and then said, "Auntie, I'm going back to my seat."

Seeing Li's nodding, Li Sui returned to her seat. Seeing Baoying's absence, she asked in a low voice, "Where did Baoying go?"

Yu Nu heard the words and whispered in Li Sui's ear: "Miss Bao said that she drank a lot, so she went out for a walk first."

Seeing that Niannu was ordered to stay, Li Sui quietly left the second floor with Yunu. When he came to the Echo Pavilion, he saw that there was no one under the shadow of the lamp, so he had to take Yunu to the road where he came.

The wind was blowing leisurely in the night, and there were a few whispers of crickets from time to time. Yu Nu lit the lamp and supported Li Sui. The two just walked a few steps when they saw a maid who was coming with a lantern. bowed to them.

"The county lord."

Li Sui nodded indifferently. Seeing that the maid was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can you see Mrs. Bao?"

The maid nodded again when she heard the sound, and said respectfully, "Back to the county lord, this servant was just having a face-to-face with Madam Bao. Madam Bao seemed to be very drunk and could not walk far, so she and Hui Rong supported Madam Bao first. Go to Qingfeng Pavilion not far away to rest for a while, and wait for someone to carry the little rattan chair and send the lady back to the yard quietly."

Seeing Li Sui's worried expression, the maid stopped talking.

"Go to Qingfeng Pavilion."

Under the bright moonlight, Li Sui and Yu Nu hurried to Qingfeng Pavilion, leaving the maid standing alone, and when she lowered her head and walked forward, her eyes flashed a little more.

The Qingfeng Pavilion, Li Sui knew, was the closest place to the Echo Pavilion. It had only one floor and was surrounded by verdant trees and flowers.

When I came to the attic, I saw two silk lanterns hanging outside the building, shrouded in shadows, and there seemed to be faint lights in the attic.

Li Sui walked over slowly with Yu Nu, and the bamboo shadows of the trees outside the building were projected on the next door by the moonlight, inexplicably giving rise to a bit of silence and bleakness.

The soft shoes embroidered with pearls and jade are stepping on the stone steps, and the beautiful woman's body adds to the tranquility of this scene.

Only after hearing a "squeak--", the door was slowly pushed open, and the moonlight suddenly fell into the door, making it much brighter.

"Baoying?"

Li Sui whispered softly, and seeing no one responded, she put on her skirt and walked in slowly, until Yu Nu also walked in with a lantern, and the outside of the building was quiet again.

At this moment, with the sound of rustling in the corner of the attic, after waiting for a while, two figures came out of the shadows, but they were two maids.

I saw the two of them looked around vigilantly, and then they walked carefully to the outside of the attic, took another look outside the courtyard, and then they both entered.

The two of them covered their mouths with the wet silk cloth, and before they took a few steps, they saw two weak figures lying there, looking extremely quiet.

The two stretched out their hands and pushed each other, and found that the two seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Immediately, the two helped Li Sui to the sleeping couch behind the twelve screens. One of them changed the fragrance in the room, turned around, and lifted Yu Nu together to go out together, until the door was once again "squeaked--" "Close it, and two women flashed out of nowhere, and quickly carried Yu Nu away from here.

"Okay, I'll go back and report, you're still here to watch."

Earlier, a maid was the first to speak, and the other maid said cautiously, "Yes."

When one of them quickly disappeared into the night sky, the other handmaiden returned to the corner again, but suddenly pulled out a unique small bamboo whistle from her sleeve and blew it gently, sending out an inconspicuous but somewhat unique bird cry.

It looks very meaningful in the dark.
