Chapter 84
The one named Li Qiuxia, Xiao Ruan felt that it was necessary to send someone to watch it, so as to avoid any mistakes.
After returning to the room, Xiao Ruan thought about it, and felt that Zhu Yun acted safely, and it was definitely right to leave this matter to her.So, he said to Zhuyun: "You find someone to keep an eye on Li Qiuxia. I don't think she and that Zhao family are easy to use. It is a great joy for my brother to be the editor of the Imperial Academy. If her mother and daughter If it gets messed up, the gain outweighs the loss.”
Although Zhuyun thought that Li Qiuxia was pretty, but she didn't have that great ability, but Xiao Ruan was always thoughtful, since she gave her orders, she naturally spared no effort to carry them out.
After Zhuyun took the order to leave, Xiao Ruan sneered, she wanted to see what Li Qiuxia was up to.
Xiao Zhongheng had already held a dinner party at his home for the examination, now when people have a happy event, naturally they have to invite their good friends and the children of famous families in the city.In fact, it's just to open up relationships so that things will be easier in the future.
It's just that Xiao Zhongheng has always been a good-tempered person, not very sociable, and most of his friends are not powerful, and he has no official position in the court.But now that Xiao Zhongheng is just entering the official career, he not only needs to form good karma, but also needs to have a few people with status and background in his company, so that he will not be bullied.
And this banquet for everyone, although it is a courtesy, but all the famous families in the city also want to see how Xiao Zhongheng's connections are.Of course, many people take a wait-and-see attitude. After all, people in the center of power have to watch all directions and listen to all directions, and be a fool at any time.If you stand on the wrong team, the consequences will be very serious.
So, don't look at it as a small banquet, the deep meaning is self-evident.
Xiao Zhongheng and his acquaintances all sent invitations, and some famous families who needed to move also received invitations, but they all arrived late, obviously they didn't attach much importance to Xiao Zhongheng's banquet.
Seeing this, Xiao Ruan's heart tightened. Of course, she knew that if there was a noble person to attend this banquet.Then these sons and the forces behind them will definitely treat Xiao Zhongheng differently.
At that time, my brother's life in court will be smoother.
However, no matter how thoughtful she is, she is just a girl in a boudoir, where can she find some distinguished friends for him.
Xiao Ruan sighed, and at this moment, Zhu Yun suddenly ran over and said to Xiao Ruan, "Miss, as you expected, this Li Qiuxia has already taken action..."
Zhuyun smiled on her face, she didn't panic at all about being calculated by others, instead she had a rush of waiting to see the excitement.And when she talked about Li Qiuxia's actions, she was even more delighted, as if she was talking about heavenly scriptures.Xiao Ruan couldn't help laughing "puchi": "Really? Then let's wait and see the good show."
This Li Qiuxia has absolutely no awareness of her scheme being discovered, she relied on her beauty before, thinking that Xiao Zhongheng would be fooled by her beauty, but she didn't expect that she expressly hinted that the other party turned out to be like a wooden stake, which shocked Li Qiuxia greatly.Although she despises Xiao Zhongheng in her heart, but she can't stand Zhao's ears, but Li Qiuxia also has her own calculations in her heart.
For this banquet, I heard that Xiao Zhongheng invited many dignitaries, but who are they?
So, Li Qiuxia's mind became lively again, she said to her personal servant girl: "Go to the front yard and ask, who are the people who are coming to this banquet, but who are the important people?"
The girl was a bit dull, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, if you want to know, you might as well ask the two young ladies of the Xiao family. They must know. We are living here as guests now. If we inquire about the affairs of the master's family, I'm afraid it's not right."
Before finishing speaking, Li Qiuxia got a chestnut on the head, and said impatiently: "If you tell me to go, you can go, there is so much nonsense!" She gave the girl a look, and gave the order: "No matter what you use Method, tonight I want to know who is at Xiao Zhongheng's banquet."
Seeing that girl was in trouble, Li Qiuxia added another sentence: "The guards in the front yard are all servants, as long as they are men, there is no one who is lecherous." After saying this, the girl naturally understood what it meant.
Li Qiuxia waited all night, and when she saw the girl came back, she hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
The girl hurriedly said: "Miss, one of the guests tonight is very famous, he is Nanyang Hou Shizi."
Hearing the words Nanyang Hou Shizi, Li Qiuxia became very happy, the expression on her face was extremely joyful, because only the later son is a young talent, not only from a prominent family background, but also a good-looking talent, among many dudes He is a rare talented person, and it is said that he is handsome, and the women who admire him can line up from the city to the suburbs, and they are unmarried.
The status of this Nanyang Hou Shizi is many times higher than that of Xiao Zhongheng, so compared with Xiao Zhongheng, the words Nanyang Hou Shizi fascinated Li Qiuxia even more.
Li Qiuxia suddenly thought about it.
At this time, the Xiao family was full of people, many dignitaries came to congratulate, Xiao Zhongheng took care of the guests in front.Hearing that Nanyang Hou Shizi had arrived, the entire Xiao family was in a state of excitement.After all, for someone with such a prominent status to come here for a legitimate son of the Xiao family, it almost gave the Xiao family enough face.And it made the Xiao family stand out among the children of the aristocratic families in Kyoto.
Although Xiao Zhongheng was also very happy, but he was not familiar with Nanyang Hou Shizi, and had not even met a few times, how could Nanyang Hou Shizi come suddenly?
When he saw Huo Xun beside Nanyang Hou Shizi, Xiao Zhongheng suddenly understood. Could it be that Huo Xun mediated and made a good thing happen?When Xiao Zhongheng was thinking about it, the son of the Marquis of Nanyang had already come in front of him. This son of the Marquis of Nanyang really lived up to his reputation and was quite handsome.He was wearing a plain brocade robe woven with purple clouds, a jade belt around his waist, and silver boots.He was obviously a decisive military commander, but he gave off the elegant temperament of a wealthy son.
He has a handsome face, with sword-shaped eyebrows slanted into his temples, a straight and three-dimensional nose, thin lips as if cut by a knife, especially a pair of eyes that are deep and cold, like a bottomless pool.
He looked Xiao Zhongheng up and down, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is handsome." Then he turned his head to look at Huo Xun, his words seemed to be very familiar: "The person you can admire so much must have real skills of."
Huo Xun nodded yes, and formally recommended Xiao Zhongheng to Nanyang Hou Shizi.At this moment, Xiao Zhongheng realized that Nanyang Hou Shizi came here for Huo Xun's face.After knowing the reason, Xiao Zhongheng was very grateful, but why did Huo Xun go to such lengths?
Mostly because of his younger sister Xiao Ruan.Xiao Zhongheng knew that his younger sister really cared about him. Since his mother passed away, he and his younger sister were the only ones in this world who depended on each other for life.Although he is an elder brother, he should take care of his younger sister, but his younger sister has a lot to worry about him.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Zhongheng asked someone to lead the son to the backyard to have a rest.However, as soon as he followed the servant to the backyard, the servant whispered: "Master, you have a noble status, I am afraid that there are as many women who admire you as koi in the river. Some people with evil intentions, I am afraid they will try their best The method is close to you. Therefore, you should be careful."
After Nanyang Hou Shizi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.He is a smart man, and this servant must have been entrusted to say this in front of him.It seems that something good is about to happen next.
"Who told you to come and report the news?" Nanyang Hou Shizi asked casually.
"Yes..." As soon as the servant opened his mouth, he heard the voice of the woman crying.The two passed through a moon gate, and saw a woman in green clothes nestled next to the rockery by the lake.This woman's waist is slender, her skin is as white as snow, and her whole body is like willow catkins, giving people a sense of tenderness and tenderness that I still feel pity for.
Nanyang Hou Shizi suddenly understood in his heart, the woman in front of him must be the one who was told to be careful.After all, in this big mansion, a noble lady must be accompanied by a maidservant. She is sad and sad behind the rockery alone, which is very suspicious in the first place.Furthermore, if she is really sad, why is she wearing a low-key and luxurious spring shirt, every detail of the clothes is well organized.Looking at her face again, the thin powder, the carefully drawn eyebrows, and the bit of blush all looked so low-key and deliberate.
Ordinary people can't see the clue at all, but Nanyang Hou Shizi, who has seen countless women, can tell at a glance that this woman must be waiting for him here deliberately.After all, it was the first time he saw a woman who didn't have a disfigured face after crying for so long.
This person is none other than Li Qiuxia.
The prince actually knew it well, but he just wanted to see what happened. He wanted to see what kind of tricks this woman was up to.
Nanyang Hou Shizi walked forward, deliberately not looking at the rockery.Seeing that the two of them were about to miss each other, Li Qiuxia turned around suddenly, and shouted in surprise: "My lord, save me—" Then, the sole of her foot "slipped", and she fell into the lake.
Seeing the woman flopping about in the water, Nanyang Hou Shizi frowned helplessly. It turned out that this woman was playing this trick, which was really childish.
As long as it's a wealthy family's house, there are no plots and schemes. He has seen her tricks since he was three years old.
Since she wanted to perform, he had no choice but to let her perform enough!So, Nanyang Hou Shizi left without looking sideways.The servant who was following Nanyang Hou Shizi almost suffered an internal injury from holding back his laughter.
"Help, son, help..." Li Qiuxia continued to shout, until the figure of Nanyang Hou Shizi gradually disappeared from sight, Li Qiuxia had no choice but to sadly find that Nanyang Hou Shizi had really left.
How did things develop like this?The heroic rescue she imagined did not come true, and people didn't even look at her.
Li Qiuxia, who relied on her beauty, suffered a devastating blow to her self-confidence.
Originally thought that Xiao Zhongheng would be fascinated, but it turned out to be in vain, and now Nanyang Hou Shizi also dismissed her, and his pride as a beauty was almost shattered at this moment.
Seeing that the person had disappeared, Li Qiuxia no longer had the desire to act, so she had no choice but to come up on her own in desperation.
