Chapter 40

"Don't you know that the story of the fourth Miss Xie's fighting against Linglong Pavilion yesterday has already been spread out? Yesterday, some sour literati wrote some Doggerels. It's really interesting to sing. I'll listen to them with you some other day. "

A few people you a word I a language of quite lively, but angry bad side of Jiang Qinglan.

Jiang Qinglan was raised in a big family since she was a child. The family rules of the Jiang family are very strict, especially the words and deeds of her children. Once upon a time, Jiang Qinglan just took her brother to make fun of her. She was immediately ordered by her mother to go back to her room to reflect on herself. In the big family, the most taboo thing is not only the discussion about the royal family, but also the arrangement of elders.

How many families of children can speak freely in such a big capital? But women's gossip is irresistible, once given the opportunity, they all want to say recklessly, desperately. As if the worse others are, the purer and purer you are.

So, the voice is getting louder now, but most people are waiting for the opening of a good play.

"My courtesan would like to greet the empress of the virtuous imperial concubine. She is blessed."

After receiving the brocade box from the master's mother, Jiang Qinglan goes to the table of the virtuous concubine and gives a gentle salute.

Everyone was surprised by this accident, and quickly put down the harsh words in his mouth and looked over here.

The virtuous imperial concubine obviously knew who the woman was in front of her. She said with a smile, "this is the girl of the Jiang family. She is more and more beautiful."

Jiang Qinglan bent her lips, stirred up a gentle smile, and said, "thank you for your praise. I don't dare to take it. More than a month ago, my daughter's mother got this jade. It is said that the jade is warm and moist, and can sleep under the pillow. Knowing that she likes jade, she specially gives it to her as a gift for the Mid Autumn Festival. I hope you don't dislike it. "

As soon as the box was opened, the virtuous imperial concubine knew the value of the things inside, and then she bent her lips with a smile, "Mrs. Jiang has a heart."

"I wish she liked it. After all, it's such a festival. In front of so many officials and women's families, courtiers and women can't lose their family's face. " As Jiang Qinglan said this, she meant something.

"Jiang Qinglan, how dare you use this arrangement to insinuate." Before waiting for the virtuous imperial concubine to respond, Zhang Xiuyan next to her immediately began to criticize.

"My daughter just said that today is a palace banquet, a flower banquet hosted by a virtuous empress. All of you are my daughter's friends and respected wives. It's not such a bad place as the vegetable market. I don't mean to slander Miss Zhang. I hope Miss Zhang doesn't get me wrong. " Jiang Qinglan behaves decently and has a degree of advance and retreat, but before she speaks, she takes something to block the mouth of the virtuous imperial concubine. Although this is very hard, it is also reasonable. Zhang Xiuyan, who is pressing forward, shed tears and ran out of the palace.

"Things without brains."

The virtuous imperial concubine scolded in the heart, but she had to maintain a smile on her face and said, "Yan'er is really spoiled by our palace. She always loves these little temperament. You don't need to worry about her at all. Now it's too late. When you wait for the Spring Festival Palace Banquet, you must go to our palace and talk with us. "

"With the love of your mother."

The people who were waiting to see the play actually saw such a farce, and the girls who were satirized by Jiang Qinglan were not worried. With a turn of their eyebrows, they all went with Zhang Xiuyan. So the crowd soon dispersed.

It's hard to explain the danger in a few words just now. Looking at the actions of the virtuous imperial concubine, Xie ruzhuo felt that his back had been wet in half a cup of tea. Looking at Jiang Qinglan again, her face is white.

No matter in the past or now, this friend has been rushing in front of him to keep out the wind and rain. At this moment, Xie ruzhuo only feels that his nose is slightly sour.

"Look at your coward. Am I not good?" When she took the plate from the maid in waiting, Miss Jiang was very proud.

"Well, you're proud." Xie ruzhuo held back the warmth in her heart and took a look at her.

Jiang Qinglan couldn't see her like this, so he said, "let's go there to enjoy the flowers. It's said that the second prince specially invited the students from the academy to enjoy the flowers and write poems. The scene is very lively."

Among the official ladies who are usually locked up in the courtyard, the most common one is the jealousy between their wives and aunts, and the most common one is the ruthless means with no compromise. Naturally, they are proficient in this way. Moreover, because of this, they can't stand the scenery of others. They want all the gold paper to be pasted on their faces. Seeing the scenery of Xie's family at this time, it's natural that all the ladies here have tightened their handkerchiefs.

Just at this time, a woman's voice rang out, "Miss Xie, you've recovered so quickly. Congratulations."

It's her enemy, Shen Jingci!

At first hearing this voice, Xie rucao's body suddenly froze. In the scorching sun, a figure appeared in front of her. She wore a silk smock with chrysanthemum pattern on her upper garment and a long embroidered dress with silk and gold silk on her lower garment. Her head was full of pearls and her eyebrows were exquisitely carved. What a beautiful woman!

If the beauty of Xie rucao is as dazzling as a rose, with thorns, it is aggressive; The beauty of Shen Jingci is soft and introverted. She blooms quietly like a lily, beautiful enough soft and dignified enough.

However, such a dignified and introverted woman destroyed the whole Xie family!

"Miss Xie, why don't you talk? This is our Miss, Shen Jingci. " Seeing that she had not spoken for a long time, the servant girl on one side spoke first and introduced her with pride.

The tone of the maid's mouth was too complacent. Shen Jingci, with a touch of satisfaction, falsely reprimanded, "hold the piano, don't be rude." Then he said with a smile, "Miss Xie, the servant girl is rude. Don't blame her."

All sounds seem to have gone away, only the face of the woman in front of her magnified several times in front of her.

incognizance? How could she not know? This voice, is turned into ash, she Xie ruzhuo also can still distinguish clearly! Xie rucao desperately suppresses the irritable anger in her body. Her green fingernails buckle into the meat, but the pain in her heart can't match the deep hatred in her heart!

Her eyes looked around, and the guard in the distance held a sharp sword. If she snatched it at the moment, stabbed it into Shen Jingci's heart and stabbed it hard, would Shen Jingci be killed immediately?

But she couldn't do anything.

The only thing she can do is to raise her head, slowly evoke a smile, as if it were painted, someone described it one by one, and finally complete a beautiful smile, "how can it? That day in the hunting ground, sister Shen led the soldiers to save me and the third prince. I'll never forget the kindness of saving my life. "

Yes, that hunting is her rebirth, and it will certainly be the beginning of Shen Jingci's disaster! How can Shen Jingci be as contented as her previous life when she comes back with a vengeful heart?

Sure enough, as soon as she heard about the hunting ground, Shen Jingci's eyes became cold. However, in a flash, she said with a smile again, "good sister, what you said is obvious. I like it as soon as I see you. Yes, there is a pavilion over there. Let's go and have a seat there. "

In previous lives, it was the same opening line! Shen Jingci, but in this life, are you sure everything can still be as you wish?

"Well, it's a pleasure." Xie ruchuo looks at Shen Jingci's calculation in her eyes and smiles slowly.

Jiang Qinglan wants to go with her. When she hears Mrs. Jiang calling her, she has to look sorry. Then she whispers in Xie rucao's ear, "be careful."

Xie rucao nodded, then took a look at Shen Jingci and followed her.

Many people gathered in the pavilion. When they saw Shen Jingci, they all gathered around and said with a smile, "sister Shen, you've come. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Obviously, Shen Jingci has a good network. On the contrary, Xie ruzhuo is not so optimistic. The only one who greets her is Zhang Xiuyan, who has a holiday. "We are here to enjoy tea and discuss friends. What are you doing here?"

As soon as Zhang Xiuyan opens her mouth, she is full of contempt. She just looks down on Xie ruzhuo. Besides her good face, what is her ability? When she thought of her aunt scolding herself just now, Zhang Xiuyan was even more angry.

Without waiting for Xie rucao to speak, Shen Jingci said with a smile, "they are all from her own family. Why do you have to be so bitter! If Zhuo's younger sister is called by me, it's not good for us to have fun together. "

When she spoke, Zhang Xiuyan's face suddenly changed and muttered, "in that case, come here. But I can say that it's better to make tea today. If you can't make tea well, don't blame me for looking down on you. "

Xie rucao followed her eyes and saw a set of tea set on the stone table.

As soon as someone in the palace set the tea set aside, Li CICI, the daughter of Li Shilang's family, said with a smile, "sister Shen, since you made that rose tea last time, I've been thinking about it very much. Would you like to make it again?"

As soon as she said this, several girls looked at her eagerly, obviously missing the taste.

Shen Jingci was not polite either. She went to the stone table and laid out the tea bowl word by word. She washed and made tea without dropping. When the budding rose is put in, when it is opened again, it will smell the fragrance of flowers. The water is slightly pink. In the middle of the white porcelain cup, there is a blooming rose, which is really full of color and fragrance.

One by one, she handed them to the public and said, "I'm too weak in talent and learning, and I'm too timid."

They happily took it. When they gave it to Xie rucao, Xie rucao took the cup and held the water symbolically, but did not drink it. Shen Jingci's things are dirty!

"Xie rucao, you've had your tea too. Is it your turn to show off? Don't just rub your tea. You can't do anything yourself. " Zhang Xiuyan finished the flower tea, and first of all, she challenged Xie ruzhuo.

In her previous life, she was really attracted by her fame, but because she could do nothing, she was ridiculed by several people. Coupled with the subsequent incident of falling into the water, he was completely disgraced in front of the emperor!

But this life is different, she Xie ruzhuo, will not be in any place, in front of anyone, call Xie family face nowhere to put!

Xie ruchuo didn't look at Zhang Xiuyan either. She just told the girl, "go and get me the tip of the snow mountain fog. I'll make some tea for the ladies."

Xueshan Wujian, which is the top tea, with 36 processes, can make the purest taste. These aristocratic ladies are usually spoiled. Who will really learn tea art? It's Shen Jingci, who just does some face work by taking advantage of opportunism!

Now hear Xie Ru Zhuo say like this, everyone immediately some looks at each other.

Zhang Xiuyan didn't believe that she would have such a good tea art, so she sneered, "Xie rucao, don't lift a stone and smash your feet!"

The maid of honor went quickly, but after a while, she took the tea Xie rucao wanted.

Xie rucao nodded to thank him, went to the center of the stone table, took the packet of slightly bitter snow mountain fog, and said carelessly, "will you, please wait and see."
