Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 105 Thrilling, Xiao Shizi rescued
"Back then, Aunt Feng and her grandmother were pregnant within half a month. The grandmother went out to visit relatives and was injured. The baby in her womb grew slowly. The doctor used medicine to make the grandmother give birth to Xuan'er seven days later. At that time, the grandmother's delivery was extremely dangerous. Pay attention to grandma, but Aunt Feng accidentally tripped in the yard, fell down and passed out, no one knew it! When the servant girl found out, she had given birth to a dead baby, who was the owner of this wordless card."

Feng said: "Since then, Aunt Feng Qingdeng Ancient Buddha has been in the Buddhist hall all year round, saying that she wants to pray for the dead child, and hope that he will be reborn into a good family as soon as possible. Later, the grandmother gave birth to Jin'er, and she saw that Jin'er was very cute. It was joy, the grandmother saw that she was born with a heart of mortals again, so she asked her to serve the old Hou Ye again, and gave birth to Gong Qing a year later.

Aunt Feng was the distant cousin of my grandmother when she was in her natal family. When my grandmother was sick and wanted to see her, she came to deliver a letter and unfortunately caught the cold. Seeing that she was lonely and obedient, the grandmother took her into the mansion and planned to talk to her in the future. The marriage is to repay her kindness for coming all the way to deliver the letter!
Unexpectedly, when grandma went out to visit relatives on the front foot, the old Hou Ye got involved with her on the back foot!At this point, the grandmother had resentment towards the old Hou Ye and Aunt Feng, until the old Hou Ye suddenly died of illness. At that time, the root cause of the disease that my grandmother had suffered when she was young broke out, and she fell into a coma several times. The danger was extremely dangerous. Aunt Feng searched for good doctors and collected folk remedies , Serving by her grandmother's side in untidy clothes, so that my grandmother has survived until now. "

Lu Xinyan was seven years old at the time when the old Hou Ye died and Feng's family was seriously ill. She still remembered these two incidents. She remembered that her mother Lin Ruyue was terribly worried at that time. Several doctors went to see her, and they all said that Feng's family was in bad luck and bad luck, but then somehow got better again, it seems that Aunt Feng is at fault.

Lu Xinyan said: "No wonder grandma treats Aunt Feng so well now."

Feng said: "At the beginning, my grandmother suspected that she had seduced the Marquis, and she hated her so much. Later, when her child died, she felt ashamed, and as time went by, the grandmother felt pity again, until the Marquis passed away, these obsessions disappeared completely. You young people have the world of young people, and beside grandma, only Grandma Sun and Aunt Feng will accompany you."

"Grandmother, are you blaming Zhuzhu for not being with you enough?" Lu Xinyan showed a playful expression, "In the future, Zhuzhu will spend more time with you!"

"You, if you are willing to devote all your thoughts to Yu'er, grandma will be satisfied."

Feng Shi hinted several times that she hoped that Lu Xinyan would take the initiative to reconcile with Miyata Yu, but it was the first time that she said it clearly.

"Grandmother, there is a predestined relationship between people. Zhu Zhu has a predestined relationship with grandma, but not necessarily with everyone in the Hou Mansion." Lu Xinyan pointed out: "My son, I will definitely meet my own predestined person." !"

This is also the first time that Lu Xinyan publicly expressed her determination to leave.

Feng's complexion sank, and she sighed. Although she had expected it a long time ago, she still couldn't hide her disappointment, "Help grandma go back."

Lu Xinyan's heart sank slowly.

She spoke so clearly, but Feng did not express his willingness to let her go. What does it mean?
After sending Feng Shi back to the Fushouyuan, Lu Xinyan turned around and went back to the Pomegranate Courtyard, and asked Luanyue to find Uncle Tian, ​​"Uncle Tian, ​​pay close attention to all the movements in the Buddhist hall from now on! If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

"Yes, miss!"

After Uncle Tian left, Xiao He came in and asked Lu Xinyan to eat, and then muttered: "Miss, I heard that Miss Qi's illness is still not cured, can I ask Sister Bai Zhi to take a look?"

"Not yet?" Lu Xinyan said in surprise, "Didn't you just catch a little cold? It's been four or five days and it's still not healed?"

Xiao He said worriedly: "I want to go to play with Seventh Miss this morning. I heard from her maid, Xiaochun, that Seventh Miss's illness recovers for a while and then relapses. I don't know why!"

"I'll take Bai Zhi to talk to Aunt Sanbiao later." If Lian didn't come to look for Lu Xinyan, she couldn't just let Bai Zhi go there.

In the afternoon, Lu Xinyan took Bai Zhi to look for Lian Shi. Lian Shi was busy getting someone to pack presents, but he didn't know which house they were sending them to.

"Zhuzhu, wait for me for a while, I will count the presents, and it will be ready soon."

"I'm not in a hurry, third cousin, you go first." Lu Xinyan said hurriedly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lian's work was over.

Lu Xinyan asked casually, "Where did those gifts go?"

"It's my natal family." Lian replied: "During Qian'er's illness, her uncle and aunt brought many important gifts, I was really embarrassed, so I picked some gifts from my small storeroom as a return gift. "

"What's wrong with Seventh Sister? Why has she been sick for so long?" Lu Xinyan asked along the way.

Lian said: "Speaking of this matter, I asked Zhuzhu for your help! Earlier I thought it was a minor illness, so I asked a doctor to see her, but the doctor's medical skills are not good, and Qian'er has been taking medicine for a few days. It’s not rooting, repeating! See Zhuzhu, can you make Miss Bai Zhi work harder..."

Lu Xinyan said: "Third Cousin is serious! Seventh Sister's illness is serious, and Bai Zhi and I will pass now."

Lian showed a joyful expression, "Then thank you Zhuzhu and Miss Baizhi first."

Several people came to Gong Qian's room.

Gong Qian, who had been ill for a few days, had no flesh on her small face, only a pair of eyes remained, which looked even bigger.

Seeing a few people coming to see her, Gong Qian, who had been bored for a few days, was overjoyed and struggled to get up, "Aniang, sister-in-law, sister Bai Zhi."

"Seventh Sister, don't move, let Sister Bai Zhi help you take a look." Lu Xinyan held her down.

Bai Zhi showed a gentle smile, "Miss Seven, stretch out your hand, I'll take your pulse."

Gong Qian stretched out her hand obediently, and that wrist was pitifully thin.

Bai Zhi took the pulse for her, looked at the prescription prescribed by the doctor before, and said: "Third Madam, Miss, Miss Seven is indeed just infected with a cold, there is nothing wrong with this prescription."

Lu Xinyan asked: "Then why didn't you feel better after taking it for a few days?"

Lian Shi also asked: "Yes, why is it always bad?"

Bai Zhi said: "Perhaps Miss Seven's physique is different from others, so the effect is not obvious. I'll try to prescribe another dose with some different herbs."

Lian muttered softly at the side: "It's not because you think it's bitter, drink half and pour half?"

Gong Qian pursed her lips unhappily when she heard this, and while Lu Xinyan was twisting the quilt for her, she whispered: "Sister-in-law, Qian'er is very good, she drank all the medicine, if she didn't drink half, pour half, and The medicine is not bitter, and it is much easier to drink than the medicine Qianer used to drink when she was sick."

Lu Xinyan's heart moved slightly when she heard this, "Sister-in-law knows, Seventh Sister is the most obedient, when you recover from illness, go to sister-in-law's yard to play with sister Xiaohe, now obediently close your eyes and rest."

It was rare for Gong Qian to meet a playmate she cared for, and she agreed happily at once, she obviously didn't want to sleep, but she obediently closed her eyes, but the eyeballs under the eyelids kept moving, making Lu Xinyan and the others secretly amused.

After returning, Lu Xinyan told Bai Zhi what Gong Qian had quietly told her.

Bai Zhi said: "I also thought it was strange at the time. Miss Seven's illness is very common, and her constitution is not special. Normally speaking, the medicine prescribed by the doctor will be cured within three days at most. It will recur. Now Miss Seven has recurrent relapses, either the medicine she took was not prescribed by the doctor, or she didn’t drink much at all, so she relapsed.”

Lu Xinyan said: "Seventh Sister is simple and obedient, she will not lie! And she said that the medicine is not bitter at all, so the only possibility is that the medicine she drank was not prescribed by the doctor at all!"

"Before I left, I asked Xiaochun quietly, and Xiaochun said that the nurse next to the third lady cooked the medicine herself." Bai Zhi said.

"So, it's Aunt Third Cousin who doesn't want Younger Sister Seven to recover quickly?" Lu Xinyan frowned, this is strange, why did Lian do this?
Bai Zhi shrugged and said, "I'm afraid only the third lady knows the reason."

Lu Xinyan stopped talking, but secretly took this matter to heart.

-

When Lien returned to her own yard, her personal nanny came up to her, with an anxious look on her face, "Third Madam, I heard that the Young Madam and Bai Zhi have gone to see Miss Seven. What you ordered your slaves to do will not be discovered, right?" ?”

"I dismissed it with other reasons." Lian Shi said: "I put the responsibility on Qian'er, saying that Qian'er was afraid of suffering, so she poured out most of the medicine secretly, which made her illness not recover."

"Third Madam, do you really...really want to continue? What if it hurts Miss Seven's body?" Fang Nuo was a little timid. She poured out half of Gong Qian's medicine and mixed it with boiled water. They were all shocked.

"It's already started, and there's no turning back." Lian gritted her teeth and said, "I have never had any disagreements with Dafang in the past ten years since my second sister-in-law and I married into the Hou's Mansion! Overhearing and exposing the incident, the big house became vicious. First, it viciously injured Jie'er. Seeing that Jie'er was lucky enough to save his life, he bribed the servant to poison him! Not only that, when Mei'er went out to pray, the big house actually notified Outsiders want to tarnish Meier..."

Mother Fang lost her voice: "There is such a thing? How did you know, Third Madam?"

"It was Mei'er who was frightened during the day and had nightmares at night. The second sister-in-law saw something was wrong and asked Chuxue to find out." Lian snorted coldly, "Do you know what kind of man is that who wants to insult Meier? A small trader, A 30-year-old widower with a perverted temper, killed his own wife and several concubines! Meier is still a lady of the Hou Mansion, and she must never marry a small businessman to fill the house. Being defiled by such a person is not dead Just to become a monk! If Zhuzhu hadn’t gone there in time, this tragedy would have happened.”

"How did Young Madam happen to go out and save Miss Fourth?" Mother Fang was terrified when she heard that.

Lian Shi said: "It must be what Dafang did, Zhuzhu knows it very well, but she is always Dafang's daughter-in-law, so why would she still report her grandmother and father-in-law?"

"Since the young lady is innocent, why did the third lady drag her into the water?" Mother Fang said: "And the eldest room is still quiet now, don't you think the fourth lady and the sixth young master are all right?"

"There is no movement now, but it doesn't mean there will be no movement in the future! For the sake of Jianer and Qianer, I will never give Dafang a chance to hurt them!" Lian's eyes were gloomy, "As for Zhuzhu, it can only be her fault." No, it's not good to marry anyone, but I married Miyata Yu!"

-

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Wuyang Houfu.

Gong Qing burned the note she had just received, got up and went to Cai Yuanyu's room.

After being beaten with a headache in the street on the night of August [-]th, someone gave Cai Yuanyu two beautiful concubines in the name of recovering from his illness.

Beauty comes first, Cai Yuanyu couldn't hold back, after more than ten days of raising them, disregarding the doctor's dissuasion, he favored the two concubines with the help of medicine.

The two concubines were very skilled. Cai Yuanyu relied on medicine and lived like a fairy. Hearing that Gong Qing saw him, he would be dismissed without even thinking about it.

Listening to the commotion inside, Gong Qing gritted her teeth angrily, and rushed in regardless of the obstruction.

Cai Yuanyu was at the moment of excitement, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, holding on to the last bit of sobriety, he gave her the face of his first wife, and let the two concubines go out first, "What's the matter?" He asked coldly.

Gong Qing gritted her teeth, "Accompany me to the Huayi Festival tomorrow."

"No!" Cai Yuanyu resolutely refused, Hua Yiji was not as important as being with the two beauties.

Gong Qing gave him a disdainful look, "Don't you want Gong Jin? Tomorrow I can make your wish come true!"

Beauty is important, but money is more important!Cai Yuanyu immediately changed his tune, "Okay!"

-

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of September.

The Huayi Festival lasts for two days and is held at the Lanying Villa in the Royal Bieyuan.

The children of the four-rank official families in Beijing and North Korea, regardless of age, can participate in the viewing.

However, because there is a ceremony to worship Queen Minying on the first morning, usually only children over seven years old will be brought to participate, most of them are over twelve years old.

Gong Mei was frightened at the Confucian Temple earlier and dared not go out, Gong Jie's injury has almost healed, but she still needs to rest mainly, and Mrs. Gu didn't go out to take care of the two.

After Gong Qian changed the prescription, she recovered from her illness the next day, but it was the first time for Lian to lead the people of Hou's house out as the head of the house, afraid of any trouble, so she didn't dare to take Gong Qian out.

Gong Qian's eyes were red, Xiao He gave her her rabbit and asked her to take care of it for two days before Gong Qian burst into tears.

Lanying Villa is in the suburbs of Beijing, and it takes about an hour to arrive.

The people who came from other places had already moved in yesterday and the day before yesterday. When Lu Xinyan and his party arrived, there was a steward who was in charge of reception and led them to the exclusive small courtyard.

The Huayi Festival held every three years can be regarded as a major event in the capital, and all the family members of officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital will participate. Arrange accommodation.

A total of six masters came to Guangping Hou's Mansion, Lu Xinyan, Gongjin, Gongtianyu, Gongyu Gongrou, and Lianshi who led the team, plus the maid, woman, and driver. There were only thirty people, and the courtyard where they lived was not large. Big.

When Lu Xinyan and the others saw some families with about two hundred people, they couldn't help but secretly startled.

The time of worship was at a quarter of the clock ([-]:[-] in the morning), and after the few people arrived at the small courtyard, it was only half an hour before it was time to worship, and they hurried to the sacrificial altar.

The sacrificial altar was in the middle of the villa, not far from the residence. When Lu Xinyan and the others arrived, many people had already lined up.

The sacrificial platform is usually a scenic platform overlooking a stone statue of Queen Minying several meters high.

There are 99 steps under the stage. People who come to worship are divided into male left and female right.

Some people lined up here early in order to stand in the front row and be seen by the nobles in the palace who presided over the worship ceremony.

Lu Xinyan was standing at about fifty steps, and Gong Jin and the others were standing next to her, just one stone step up.

After standing still, she looked up at the statue of Queen Minying above.

The appearance is kind and beautiful, with an extraordinary bearing, and his eyes seem to be smiling but not smiling, with a natural expression of compassion.

She looks like a very intelligent woman!
Further down, the girl standing on the first steps could vaguely see Shen Yuyan, Wen Ruxiang, and Du Yueqing.

Shen Yuyan spotted her first, and motioned Wen Ruxiang and Du Yueqing to look down with his eyes.

There was a smile on Lu Xinyan's lips, and she looked at them indifferently, but after they snorted, they turned their eyes away and continued to whisper.

When it was time to arrive, the 99 steps were already densely packed with people.

Because there were too many people, some of them couldn't stand on the steps, so they automatically stood about one meter away from the bottom step, and they lined up one by one, even tens of meters away.

Lu Xinyan looked back, the plain clothes of different shades, the breeze blowing, all of them fluttering, it was a beautiful scene.

The three concubines in charge of the worship ceremony, Concubine Kong Shu, Concubine Yang, Concubine Chen, and several princesses, surrounded by a group of maids, walked up the special path.

A little far away, Lu Xinyan only saw the three of them in elegant clothes, with slender and graceful figures, but couldn't see their faces clearly.

The ladies who were talking were all silent.

When the time came, an old eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "The worship ceremony begins!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately knelt on the stone steps.

At this time, a girl standing on the left of Lu Xinyan pretended to adjust her kneeling position, and suddenly stretched out her right foot to kick Lu Xinyan.

Lu Xinyan slammed to the right, the girl didn't step on it, instead she lost her balance and rolled down, hitting the girl next to Lu Xinyan.

Immediately, like overturned bony Nomi cards, one hit another, and dozens of people rolled into a ball.

The screams of the girls resounded through the sky, breaking the silence immediately, and startled many birds in the villa.

The old eunuch on the stage scolded loudly: "What's going on?"

Shen Yuyan and the others in the front row turned their heads and met Lu Xinyan's sneering expression, and the complacent smile on his face suddenly stopped.

why?Shouldn't it be Lu Xinyan who took the lead in the fall?

Lu Xinyan sneered in her heart.

The Huayi Festival post was sent to her by Wu Wan. Wu Wan wanted to see her make a fool of herself at the Huayi Festival, so no one dared to trouble her before the sacrifice.

But if he doesn't make big troubles for her, it doesn't mean he won't make little troubles to trick her.

So before coming here today, she had already made mental preparations to deal with all kinds of accidents before the start of tomorrow's game.

When she just stood on the stone steps, she looked at the two or three rows of people in front and back.

It happened that the girl on the upper left was the one who was by Shen Yuyan's side in Wuyang Hou Mansion that day.

Lu Xinyan couldn't call out her name, but secretly took precautions.

Sure enough, just as the worship was about to begin, the girl quietly kicked Lu Xinyan.

If she hadn't been prepared for a long time, she would be the one who rolled down at this moment!
The old eunuch was very angry and asked people to investigate, and the innocent girls who were recruited pointed out the culprit one after another. Concubine Kong Shu on the stage said coldly: "I will report today's incident to the emperor truthfully. Fang, let the emperor make a decision."

When this matter comes to the emperor, even if Min Fang is not dismissed, his future benevolence will be hopeless!
Miss Min burst into tears, "Ms. Concubine Shu, my little girl didn't do it on purpose, please forgive me, Concubine Shu!"

Concubine Kong Shu said solemnly: "Disturb the worship ceremony, pull it down!"

Ms. Min looked at Shen Yuyan and the others standing in the first row with tears in her eyes, hoping that they would help and intercede.

Lu Xinyan hehe twice, stupid or not, who dares to intercede at this time?But if he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't be used as a gun. In this regard, Du Yueqing is much smarter than her!

Sure enough, Shen Yuyan and the others didn't even look at Miss Min.

Miss Min opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, and let the maids take her away.

The worship ceremony officially begins...

After the end, all the ladies and gentlemen, go back to the room to dress up.

In the morning, because of worship, they all dressed very simply and elegantly, with at most two jade hairpins on their heads, so they didn't dare to stand out too much.

Next, it's time to compete.

It is rare for Gong Yu to abandon elegant tones and choose bright orange. Gong Rou is not as bright as before, wearing a water-colored skirt with a snow-blue pleated skirt, plus a green lotus-colored trousers.

Gong Jin is wearing a very light pink skirt with a cane-yellow sleeveless pannier that reaches to the calf, which is similar to the comprehensive version of the modern long vest and sleeveless dress.

The pink short jacket has an extra layer of lotus leaf-shaped decoration half a palm long at the sleeve elbow, and the cuffs are tightened in the way of modern men's shirt sleeves, with three pearls as buttons.

The material of the long vest is slightly thick, and it is fastened from top to bottom with a pipa buckle, and a pearl waist chain is worn around the waist. .

They were obviously at an age as beautiful as flowers, and they should be the focus of everyone's eyes, but in front of such Gong Jin, they were rendered vulgar.

The two of them thought about it with their toes, and they knew that Gong Jin's clothes were also written by Lu Xinyan.

Gong Rou desperately tugged on her palm, why?Why is an old woman who can't get married so dazzling?Why did you ask Mr. Li to specially send incense?

She gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but when Gong Jin looked over, she immediately showed a cute and sweet smile, "Fourth aunt, where is sister-in-law?"

Gong Jin still doesn't know that the relationship between Lu Xinyan and Gong Rou is extremely bad, "I'm also looking for her."

While talking, Lu Xinyan came.

On the elegant Lingyun bun, a sapphire blue peacock dotted with emerald green hairpins is inserted vertically. The workmanship is exquisite and lifelike. The peacock holds a ruby ​​pendant in its mouth, which becomes the most dazzling embellishment.

An apricot-yellow slanted open shirt, the slanted front is not the usual embroidered pine, bamboo, and embroidered grass, but is decorated with lotus leaves, and the lower body is matched with a brown Qianshui skirt.

The most amazing thing is the royal blue object she wears on her shoulders. This object is called a shawl.

The shawl is square, with flowing whiskers hanging on four sides, folded in half to form a triangle, and draped over the back at will, with flowing whiskers falling down layer by layer, elegant and elegant.

Gong Jin and the others looked straight at him, "Zhuzhu, this thing on you is so special."

"This is called a shawl, and it can be used all year round." Lu Xinyan smiled and explained, "If Sigu likes it, I'll give you one."

"Then I won't be polite." Gong Jin smiled. After beating Cai Yuanyu and Gongqing together, she and Lu Xinyan became much closer. "Since you sent me some clothes from time to time, I found that I am getting more and more greedy now. Whenever I see something nice, I want to try it.”

"It proves that Sigu Fanxin is still there." Lu Xinyan blinked playfully, "If there is any good opportunity, don't miss it."

If someone else said that to Gong Jin, Gong Jin would definitely scowl, but instead of Lu Xinyan, Gong Jin not only was not angry, but laughed and said: "According to what Zhuzhu said, if there is a good opportunity, I will definitely stick to it." catch."

"Si Gu, you can say this yourself, don't go back on your word." Lu Xin's expression contained deep meaning.

Gong Jin didn't hear it, she just laughed and nodded, but Gong Rou could hear the difference sensitively.

She unconsciously associated it with Li Yu.

Li Yu likes to make fragrances, and most of them give them to relatives, sisters or aunts. If outsiders want it, if they ask for it, Li Yu will definitely give it to them.

But he took the initiative to give incense to others, and Gong Jin was the first one.

Not only that, since Qingyan Temple, he suddenly forbade her to call Brother Yu, but Mr. Li.

Gong Rou has been hiding the worry in her heart, but at this moment, because of Lu Xinyan's words, she suddenly grasped the clue.

She thought, Lu Xinyan must know something to hint to Gong Jin like this.

As for that person, besides Li Yu, Gong Rou couldn't think of another person.

Thinking of what to do next today, the original apology in her heart disappeared in an instant.

If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished!
The first day of the game started at noon, and not long after the priest came back, the kitchen delivered a simple meal.

After Lu Xinyan and the others finished their meal, they decided to take a walk in the villa.

Today is the preliminary round, most of the young masters and ladies are not interested in watching, and they are all playing around in the villa.

There are genteel activities such as throwing pots, reciting poems, tasting tea, and ascending heights, as well as polo, riding and archery, hunting, etc., which make people's blood boil.

Red maples are planted everywhere in the villa, and the sky is full of red, like burning clouds in the sky, which is too beautiful to behold.

The ladies are together in twos and threes, with exquisite makeup, gorgeous clothes, and the singing of Yingying and swallows, whether listening or watching, it is extremely pleasing to the eye.

The clothes on Lu Xinyan and Gong Jin became the focus of everyone's attention.

Gong Jinchuchu was still a bit uncomfortable, Lu Xinyan said: "Si Gu, this will only be a small number of people looking at you and you will be nervous, but everyone will look at you on stage tomorrow, what should we do then?"

Gong Jin subconsciously asked: "What will we do then?"

Lu Xinyan lowered her voice and said: "It's very simple, don't treat them as human beings, just treat them as watermelons."

Gong Jin imagined the situation of sitting in rows of watermelons, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and he relaxed a lot.

"If you don't want to be a watermelon, it's fine. Just treat it like a flower. When you are in the garden, you can smell the fragrance everywhere. It's hard to be nervous."

Gong Jin thought about it and thought it was a good idea! "Zhuzhu, after what you said, I don't seem to be nervous at all."

The two talked and laughed as if no one was around, and Gong Yu and Gong Rou, who were far behind behind them, looked extremely ugly.

At this time, someone shouted: "The polo match has started over there. I heard that Princess Changping has left the field in person. Several princes are watching there."

This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all ran towards one place.

This way, Lu Xinyan, who didn't know the direction, knew where the polo field was.

"Fourth Aunt, shall we go to watch the polo match?" Gong Rou trotted up, pretending to be a little girl and grabbing Gong Jin's sleeves, but in fact she wished to tear off Gong Jin's eye-catching clothes.

"Zhuzhu, are you interested?" Gong Jin asked her.

"If Fourth Aunt wants to watch it, I'll go with you." It doesn't matter if you watch polo or not, but it was Gong Rou who made the request. So straight.

Gong Jin didn't think too much about it, Lu Xinyan didn't object, Gong Rou wanted to see it, so go and see it, "Let's go and see it first, if you're not interested, go elsewhere."

The surroundings of the polo field were already full of people, and the few people looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't see any empty space.

"It's better to sit separately." Gong Ju said.

There were no connected vacancies, so naturally they had to sit separately. Several people pointed to the places they wanted to sit, and each walked towards that place.

The polo match has already begun, and not only Wu Wan, but also Shen Yuyan will be on the field. The two are dressed in red riding outfits, and they are heroic.

The level of the two teams is very high, you fight each other, and there are many thrills. The leader of the blue team did not give in because the red team had Wu Wan and Shen Yuyan, but repeatedly intercepted the ball from them. Good, but judging by his expression, there is no resentment. It seems that the leader of the blue team has a lot of background.

Just when I saw the exciting place, my arms and feet suddenly hurt. It turned out that a lady sitting next to me, whether it was intentional or not, moved too much when she saw the dangerous place. Her foot stepped on Lu Xinyan's foot, and her elbow hit Lu Xinyan's arm. .

Lu Xinyan frowned and glanced at her, the lady smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm too carried away."

Although it was an apology, there was no apologetic look on his face.

Lu Xinyan didn't want to argue with her, so she stood up and wanted to change places.

Just as she got up, she suddenly exclaimed in panic, and faintly heard Gong Jin screaming in panic, "Zhuzhu, be careful of polo!"

The polo field was not enough to sit on, so all the maids stayed outside the field.

Qingtong heard Gong Jin's cry, knew something was going to happen to Lu Xinyan, and it was too late to squeeze in.

Lu Xinyan only felt a gust of wind hit her, but before her body could react, she suddenly heard the scream of "Ouch" from the girl who had stepped on her earlier.

She subconsciously looked towards the field, and Shen Yuyan was holding a polo club in astonishment, looking in her direction.

It seems that Shen Yuyan deliberately missed the ball just now.

"Huh? What's going on? Why did the ball suddenly turn?"

"That's right, it was obviously aimed at that lady, how could it hit sister Zhang?"

"What's that on the ground?" Someone pointed to a green thing on the ground and asked.

A lady in pink who was close was about to pick it up, when suddenly a clear and clear voice sounded, "It belongs to Xiao, please don't move."

"what?"

"Ah! It's Prince Xiao!"

A burst of girls screamed excitedly, instead of surrounding them, they stepped back a few steps.

Everyone in the capital knows that Xiao Shizi doesn't like people getting too close.

Although there are ambiguous rumors that he doesn't like red makeup and prefers martial arts makeup, his unparalleled handsome appearance still attracts the hearts of many boudoir girls.

"Is it Xiao Shizi who just rescued someone?"

"No? Why did he save her again?"

"Who is she? Save what?" Some young ladies have never been to the banquet in Wuyanghou's mansion, so they don't know Lu Xinyan.

"She is the wife of the son of the Guangping Marquis. Last time in the Marquis of Wuyang, Prince Xiao jumped into the water to save her." A very jealous voice said.

"Do you think this young lady used some means to Xiao Shizi in private, so that Xiao Shizi repeatedly rescued him?"

"Why? Although she doesn't look bad, she's a married woman. How can she seduce Prince Xiao? It's shameless!"

The topic is off topic all of a sudden.

Lu Xinyan looked at Xiao Yichen speechlessly, but the guy ignored her and didn't look at her, picked up the jade pendant and left straight away.

"Mrs. Gong Shao, are you hurt?" Gongsun Mobai, dressed in red, approached with malicious intent, his eyes were full of interest, and he clearly wanted to watch a good show.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, the sharp eyes that shot at her became countless more.

Lu Xinyan couldn't help rubbing her forehead: White-eyed wolf, Xiao Shizi, has already caused so many white-eyed and slobbering, and you want to get me drowned by saliva if you mix it in again?
"Mrs. Gongshao, you don't seem to be looking very well. Would you like to invite the imperial doctor to come and take a look?" Gongsun Mobai said without hesitation, with a very gentle voice.

The injured Ms. Zhang lay there moaning, and he didn't ask a single question. Lu Xinyan, who was not touched by the polo, not only expressed his concern, but also said that he wanted the imperial doctor to come and see him?
The girls who had a crush on Gongsun Mobai turned red-eyed.

This Mrs. Gong Shao is too shameless!

Although Gongsun Mobai was not liked by other parents and was hindered in marriage, but he was born with a good skin, flirtatious and fun without putting on airs, more people liked him in private than Xiao Yichen!

"Mobai, you talk so much, why don't you save your energy and ride around the shooting range?" Xiao Yichen, who had already left, turned back suddenly.

Gongsun Mobai's smiling face froze.

It's hard for him to take care of his face, so he doesn't want it!His eyes rolled, "Yi Chen, you are the one who rescued you just now, right? With your skill, even with a piece of jade pendant, you can hit the polo out of the field. Why did the polo hit Madam Gong Shao?" Miss?"

Lu Xinyan wasn't the only one who had this question, Wu Wan, who had stopped playing off the field, was angry, and many girls nearby, including Wu Sheng who was walking from a distance.

"Cousin Xiao, this prince also finds it strange."

Lu Xinyan looked at Wu Sheng and Li Yu who came over, and thought to you two, don't make trouble!
It's a pity that things backfired. Li Yu trotted over and asked worriedly, "Mrs. Gong Shao, are you injured?"

Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes, it was clear at a glance whether she was injured or not, didn't she have eyes?Do you have to ask with your mouth?

"Mrs. Gong Shao, are you injured?" Just as Li Yu finished speaking, Wu Sheng followed closely behind and asked.

Lu Xinyan: Okay, your eyes are all on the top of your head!

"Mrs. Gong, I heard that my sister's polo missed and almost hit you. I apologize to you on behalf of my younger sister!"

Lu Xinyan's eyelids twitched.

That's great, even Shen Qingzhu is here to join in the fun!

Shen Qingzhu's handsome face smiled like a spring breeze, "Thank you, Shizi Xiao, for saving me, otherwise sister-in-law made a big mistake!"

Ms. Zhang lying on the ground crying: Hey, don't you see the wounded lying here?Why do both of them only ask the uninjured woman?

The sleeve corners of the crescent-colored robe moved imperceptibly.

The piece of jade thrown out just now was almost crushed by someone!
Lu Xinyan, you are amazing!It's only been a few days, yet another one hooked up!
Xiao Yichen's face was so cloudy that he could drip water.

Whether it's Li Yu or Gongsun Mobai, although they have a close relationship with her in the past, they will never really get involved with a married woman.

But this Shen Qingzhu is a very well-dressed beast, who secretly hooked up with countless official women!
Look at his master's tone, who does he, Xiao Yichen, need to thank for saving him?
If the resentment had turned into a knife, Shen Qingzhu would have been torn into pieces by now!

Lu Xinyan also didn't like Shen Qingzhu's tone. On the surface, it sounded like she was thanking Shen Yuyan, but in fact, she pulled her together with him, which made people misunderstand, thinking that she was having an affair with him!
Lu Xinyan, who had already aroused the public outrage of all the young ladies, now became the biggest enemy in the hearts of many young women!
"Young Master Shen is serious! Xiao didn't mean to save your sister, but when he was playing with Yu Pei, Yu Pei accidentally flew out of his hand, just hitting the polo that Miss Shen accidentally hit!" Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth in his heart. , the face is still cold, although the coldness is different from the previous coldness, "And Miss Shen's big mistake has been made, Mr. Shen is apologizing to the wrong person!"

He casually pointed to the bleeding Miss Zhang on the ground.

Ms. Zhang groaned: Finally someone saw her save, woo woo~
Only then did Shen Qingzhu seem to see Ms. Zhang, "There were so many people just now, Shen Mou missed it for a while, thank you Shizi Xiao for your guidance."

Then he waved his hand casually, "Come here, take this young lady down for treatment, all expenses will be paid by Shen's residence."

Two servant girls took Miss Zhang away.

Shen Qingzhu said again: "Sister She surprised Mrs. Gong Shao, and I still have to apologize to her on your behalf! If Mrs. Gong Shao feels any discomfort after returning, please feel free to come and find me, I will take full responsibility for it!"

"Master Shen should say this to the lady who was injured just now." Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Although the Guangping Marquis Mansion is not as good as the Shen Mansion, it will never rely on others easily, so please rest assured, Mr. Shen .If I feel any discomfort in the future, it has absolutely nothing to do with what happened today! Mr. Shen, there is no need to worry too much!"

Shen Qingzhu intentionally drew the relationship between the two people closer, causing people to misunderstand. Lu Xinyan used the two mansions to explain the matter, and even satirized Shen Qingzhu's words in such a high-sounding manner. In fact, she was afraid that the Guangping Marquis Mansion would take this opportunity to rely on Shen's mansion, and then she He stated that no matter what happened or not in the future, he would not trouble the Shen residence.

A villain's heart and a magnanimous attitude immediately caused the eldest son of the Shen family to lose a lot of glory.

Shen Qingzhu gritted her teeth secretly, with a warm smile on her face, "I have already said my next words, and I will never take them back. Mrs. Gong Shao, leave!"

He walked very gracefully, but he still couldn't hide his embarrassment when he was forced to leave by a woman.

Before walking far, Shen Qingzhu's face sank, as black as the bottom of a pot.

Gong Jin, who was not far away, kept trying to squeeze in, but there were too many young ladies, and the crowd was so tight that she couldn't squeeze in no matter what, and she was sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Li Yu hurried out, "Fourth Miss, Madam Gong Shao is fine, someone else was injured, you don't have to worry."

From Gong Si Gu to Gong Si Miss to Si Miss, the gradually changing address did not attract Gong Jin's attention.

When she heard that Lu Xinyan was fine, her hanging heart sank slightly.

Li Yu said: "Miss Si, I will accompany you to sit there and wait for the young lady to come out."

Most of the people crowded together to watch, and there were many empty seats in the stands.

Gong Jin nodded without thinking too much.

After sitting down, Li Yu didn't smell the familiar fragrance, "Fourth Miss, did you receive the incense I asked Mrs. Shao to give you last time?"

Gong Jin hummed.

Li Yu suddenly fidgeted, "Then why...doesn't work?"

"After using it for a few days, Rou'er liked it later, so I gave it to her."

Li Yu was disappointed and a little angry. In fact, when he asked, he remembered that Lu Xinyan had told him about it, but now he heard Gong Jin say it again, and he still felt very uncomfortable, "I gave it to you, why did you Want to send it to someone else?"

The complaining tone made Gong Jin look at him in surprise, and asked back: "Are you angry?"

As soon as those bright eyes came over, Li Yu's ears started to turn red, and the anger in his heart suddenly subsided. He mustered up his courage and said, "I... I gave it to you. I don't like it when you give it away."

Gong Jin pursed her lips and smiled, "I know, if you give it to me in the future, I won't give it to anyone else and keep it for myself!"

"Really?" Li Yu's heart was beating with joy.

That little face with pink make-up and jade was very beautiful because it was covered with blushes, and it was so tender that it wanted to be pinched.

"Really!" Gong Jin nodded seriously, and suddenly smiled, "Look at you, you really look like a child!"

Li Yu seemed to be chilled by a basin of cold water, his face flushed instantly, and he jumped up angrily, "I'm seventeen, I'm not a child anymore!"

Gong Jin opened her mouth wide, thinking that she was angry because she said he was a child, and hurriedly said: "I was wrong, you are not a child anymore!"

It's just a little childish, she thought to herself!

He thought that if he followed Li Yu's words, he wouldn't be angry anymore, but he didn't know that the perfunctory tone of coaxing him like a child made Li Yu's eyes almost wet with anger, and he said angrily: "I won't talk to you said!"

Looking at the back of him leaving angrily, Gong Jin thought: This little brat, unexpectedly has a big temper!
Compared with Lu Xinyan, who was surrounded by many men, the small quarrel between the two was basically unnoticed.

Except Gong Rou.

The handkerchief in his hand was about to be torn, and he looked at Gong Jin as if his eyes were poisoned.

When Gong Jin's eyes drifted over, Gong Rou instantly put on a sweet and harmless smile, and walked towards Gong Jin, "Si Gu, I just saw that Young Master Li seemed to be angry. What happened, Si Gu made him angry?" ?"

Gong Rou wanted to marry Li Yu, and Aunt Qin did not hesitate to prescribe drugs for her in Qingyan Temple. Presumably Li Yu was angry at her for giving the incense to Gong Rou because she was aware of it. He was afraid of being misrepresented, so he seized the handle .

Gong Jin felt that she seemed to have grasped the truth, and smiled at Gong Rou, "Mr. Li's temperament is unstable, and he loses his temper when things go wrong, like a spoiled young master, I don't know how to offend him Already!"

She answered irrelevant questions, but hinted that Gongrou Li Yu was not a good man, and told her to stop having inappropriate thoughts.

But from Gong Rou's point of view, she felt that Gong Jin clearly slandered Li Yu on purpose, because the two chatted so happily at first, and Li Yu was obviously very happy. Later, Li Yu left angrily. The way he left, what kind of spoiled young master lost his temper for no reason?

Gritting her teeth, Gong Rou smiled even more sweetly, "Don't Fourth Aunt like Mr. Li?"

"It's okay, it's just that the child is a little angry." Gong Jin said, according to the standards of his nephew, he is also 17 years old, Gong Jin feels that Miyata Yu is much more mature than Li Yu, although Miyata Yu is more stupid, let go Don't want a good daughter-in-law like Zhuzhu, what kind of maid do you want to spoil!
Gong Rou didn't know that Gong Jin looked at Li Yu with the eyes of a nephew, thinking that Gong Jin was asked the truth by her, and she was so angry that she was half dead!
Sure enough, duplicity!He actually robbed his niece of a man?It's really shameless!
Gong Jin didn't see Gong Rou's twisted and deformed face, "The people at Zhuzhu's side have dispersed a bit, Rou'er, accompany me to have a look, I still can't let go of not seeing it with my own eyes!"

"Okay, fourth aunt, I'm also worried about sister-in-law." Gong Rouqiang said with a smile.

Gong Yu saw Wu Sheng on the other side, and walked over involuntarily, "I've seen the third prince."

Wu Sheng turned to see her, and smiled happily, "Miss Gong Er? I was wondering why I didn't see you just now!"

Gong Yu was overjoyed, he never thought that Wu Sheng, who had never paid attention to her before, would suddenly be so enthusiastic!She lowered her head shyly, "There were so many people just now, the little girl couldn't squeeze in."

"Your sister-in-law is fine, so don't worry about it." Wu Sheng looked at the crowd of people around him, "Can Miss Gong Er take a moment to speak?"

Gong Yu was in the middle of his arms, and shyly said: "Third Prince, please."

The two walked one after the other to a secluded place.

Wu Sheng couldn't wait and said: "My concubine mother likes the poem written by the second miss Gong Zhongqiu very much. I wonder if the second miss Gong has any other poems?"

It turned out that it was because of that word!Although Gong Yu had expected it, but when Wu Sheng said it, the joy in his heart faded by two points, "Back to the third prince, too many things happened in the mansion these days, little girl..."

The young master of the Jiang family stumbled and drowned after drinking, and the sixth young master of the second bedroom of the Guangping Hou Mansion was left in the rain with multiple wounds on his body. Wu Sheng also heard about it, and felt very guilty for his own urgency. Second Miss, I was the one to be rude! That poem is so exquisite, my concubine and I can't wait to enjoy other excellent works by Second Miss Gong!"

"It's my daughter's blessing to be loved by the imperial concubine and the third prince. In a few days, my daughter will definitely devote herself to poetry and give the third prince a satisfactory answer!" Gong Yu gave a little blessing.

"Don't be in a hurry, Miss Gong, don't feel any pressure!" Wu Sheng quickly waved his hand, "But Miss Gong, can't that poem really be publicized?"

"The little girl simply loves poetry and doesn't want to be entangled with too many common names. Please forgive me." Gong Yu said apologetically, "In the future, when the little girl feels stable and won't be disturbed by secular rumors, she will definitely publish her poems to the world. At that time, the third prince will be invited to be a witness!"

Wu Sheng said: "Definitely! I'm waiting for the day when Miss Gong Er becomes famous all over the world!"

After Shen Qingzhu was forced to leave the polo field by Lu Xinyan, she met Miyata Yu and his party.

With a thought in his heart, he stepped forward and cupped his hands with a smile: "Young Master Gong is so lucky!"

Miyata Yu was flattered, but also baffled, "Why did Mr. Shen say such a thing?"

Shen Qingzhu said: "Just now, during a polo match between Shemei and Princess Changping and others, Shemei accidentally missed the ball, and the polo almost hit Mrs. Gong Shao. Fortunately, Xiao Shizi came to the rescue and avoided making a big mistake. Afterwards, the third prince, grandson, and grandson, Li Gongzi, all came forward to express their condolences at the first time, looking very worried!

It seems that Gong Shizi has a very close relationship with several people, which is why the third prince waits for Aiwujiwu, and is so worried about Mrs. Gong Shao!And Mrs. Gong Shao behaved properly, chatted and laughed with several people, without showing any timidity, she looked like a good helper of Gong Shizi, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for! "

A group of men with Miyata Yu were all married, and each of them smiled meaningfully upon hearing this.

As Miyata Yu, how could he have the chance to meet the Third Prince and others?If they really got acquainted, they must be following the third prince at this time, how could they be with them?
It is clear that Mrs. Gong Shao knew a few people and was very close to them. As for how close they are...

A group of men had obscene thoughts one after another, looking at Miyata Yu, it was like seeing a green tree!
Miyata Yu was so angry that his face turned green.

He's not stupid, how could he not hear Shen Qingzhu's hint that Lu Xinyan had a "very close relationship" with the third prince and others?

"Brother Gong, congratulations! With a wife like this, it seems that Brother Gong's official career will not be bad in the future!" Someone made fun of it.

"Brother Yu is right! Brother Gong, if you become successful in the future, remember to support your brothers!"

"Brother Gong, the future of our brothers depends entirely on you and your... madam!"

"Hahaha…"

There were bursts of ridicules, and Miyata Yu's face swelled into a liver color from laughing.

He stormed off to the polo field in a huff.

"Young Madam, you are so amazing, you can actually make Mr. Shen speechless! Admiration!" Gongsun Mobai considers himself romantic, but he has never been ambiguous with married women. Regarding Shen Qingzhu's character, I have been unhappy with it for a long time, but what I said to Lu Xinyan was sincere.

"Mr. Gongsun, you also have such ability, it just depends on whether you are willing or not!" Lu Xinyan glanced at him with a half-smile, and gave Xiao Yichen a little blessing, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for 'missing', for saving me from a bloody disaster !"

What kind of hand did you miss? To be able to have this kind of accuracy when you miss a hand is not a distance of one or two meters!Lu Xinyan didn't know why Xiao Yichen said that, and didn't want to know, so she followed his words and decided his action as a 'miss'.

Xiao Yichen covered his face with three feet of ice, "Since it was a miss, I can't afford to be thanked by Mrs. Gong Shao! Hmph!"

He snorted twice, shook his hands and walked away, his face smelled as if he had fallen into a latrine.

Lu Xinyan was puzzled, who offended him?
Gongsun Mobai rubbed his nose, "Probably business has not been going well recently, and I have a bad temper. Young Madam, don't be so fussy with him!"

"Mobai, you are the roundworm in my belly!" Xiao Yichen stopped, turned around and glanced at Gongsun Mobai, "Why don't you go hunting with me?"

Gongsun Mobai didn't expect him to turn back again, he quickly stepped back and waved his hands, looking for a chance to escape, "No, no, no..."

"Lu Xinyan! You are a woman, what are you doing here? Don't you feel ashamed enough? Go back with my son!"

An angry voice came from behind them.
