The young master looked Qin Yao up and down with great interest, his eyes full of amusement.
Just when Qin Yao thought he was going to expose her prank, the man suddenly changed the subject, looked to the side and said: "Chen Si, Chen Si, I didn't expect that you are so skilled now, we are really impressed. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man came out from behind him, laughed and said, "Second Young Master Xia accepted the offer."
Everyone in the pavilion suddenly realized that it turned out that Mr. Xia was talking about Mr. Chen just now.
Xia Qian stood up with a smile and greeted: "Second brother, Mr. Chen, Mr. Kong."
Among the three people who came, one was Xia Di, the second son of Duke Wei and Xia Xian's second brother.
Seeing Xia Di calling him, Xia Di responded with a smile and strode towards the pavilion.
The remaining two stood still, one was the fourth son of the Ningyuan Hou family, who was also known as Chen Si in Xia Di's mouth.
The other one is the youngest son of Zhongshu Ling's family, named Kong Weide.
The girl in purple clothes stamped her feet and looked at Chen Sidao: "Brother! Look at my clothes, they were splashed like this. It's obviously her fault." After saying that, she turned around and pointed at Qin Yao bitterly.
Kang Ping also nodded sharply and said: "Yes, yes, that's her. I can see it really."
Chen Si frowned secretly. He was behind Xia Di and didn't see clearly what was going on in the pavilion, but he thought that Zuo was just a little fight between the girl's family, and Mr. Xia obviously had the intention of exposing the matter. If they The brother and sister kept holding on to her, inevitably looking petty, so they looked at their sister admonishingly, trying to stop her from talking.
Unexpectedly, when the fat-headed and big-eared Mr. Kong next to him heard what the girl in purple clothes said, he rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Aqi, don't be sad. I want to see what happens." Who is so bold as to dare to make you suffer!"
"As he spoke, he looked directly at Qin Yao, his eyes were cold and sharp, as if he could drill a hole into Qin Yao.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, oh, here comes the helper, and such a "big" helper, but I don't know what method Mr. Kong plans to use to stand up for Miss Chen?
Ms. Chen glanced at Master Kong with disgust, and instinctively wanted to say: "What does it have to do with you?" Then she thought about it, why not let Mr. Kong embarrass Miss Qu? He wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said with great grievance: "I was passing behind Miss Qu just now. I was fine, but suddenly a burst of hot tea was poured out from nowhere, soaking half of my clothes. Everyone present at that time Only Miss Qu is the closest to me, and Kang Ping also witnessed that it was Miss Qu who did it, but now Miss Qu does not admit that she was the one who splashed it."
It was rare that the delicate Miss Chen was willing to talk to him so much. Mr. Kong was overjoyed and became more energetic. He walked towards the pavilion aggressively: "Isn't this simple? Just see whose cup is empty or full?" Because he was too eager to consolidate Miss Chen's good impression of him, Mr. Kong didn't notice the obvious frown of Mr. Xia in the pavilion, let alone the wink that Mr. Chen gave him.
"If the tea is spilled, the cup won't be full. Let's all see who spilled the tea on A Qi!" He bullied Qin Yao and picked up Qin Yao in front of everyone. Due to excessive force on the tea cup in front of me, I accidentally burned my hand with the hot tea in the cup. I said "Ouch" and the flesh on my face trembled with pain.
"It's scalding me to death, it's scalding me to death!" He hurriedly put the tea cup back on the table and exhaled repeatedly into the hand that was red with heat.
Qin Yao felt hurt for him and expressed her sympathy: "Master, are you okay?"
Mr. Kong was in pain and embarrassed. The tea cup in front of Miss Qu was obviously full. He had wronged others and had humiliated him so much in front of Miss Chen that he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.
Just when I didn¡¯t know how to find my place, I suddenly caught a glimpse of an empty tea cup on the table. I didn¡¯t even bother to see who the owner of the cup was. I pointed forward without thinking and shouted: ¡°This cup is empty!¡±
Everyone followed his finger and looked up, raising their eyebrows in surprise. They saw a young girl with an angry face sitting in front of the empty teacup. It happened to be Kang Ping.
Second Young Master Xia laughed secretly and looked at Qin Yao with a more meaningful look.
Mr. Kong is honest, how can he afford to offend this princess? If he started to talk nonsense, he might smash the Kong family to pieces. He didn't bother to stand up for his sweetheart, so he hurriedly slapped himself in the face and said: "This, this method is not appropriate. It is probably because we have made a mistake. All the ladies in the pavilion are the same." A young lady from an aristocratic family with a Shili family would never do something like this. Perhaps a servant accidentally spilled it on A Qi just now, and she was afraid of being punished, so she didn't dare to admit it. These servants will be able to tell the difference."
"One word brought the fire to the servants of Duke Wei's house again." Mr. Chen sighed secretly; Qin Yao was stunned when she heard this. She looked up and down at the person with wide eyes. She couldn't connect the thin and gloomy man in front of her with the handsome and noble Jiang Sanlang back then.
How come Mr. Jiang has lost so much weight in just one month?
Thinking of A Miao who died in his arms that day, Qin Yao couldn't help but suddenly realized that since ancient times, being ruthless has been evil, and being sentimental has been painful. Looking at Mr. Jiang's current situation, I'm afraid he still can't let go of A Miao, and his emotional wounds are hard to heal. , no wonder he became so haggard in just a short period of time.
It wasn't until Jiang Sanlang called her out: "Taoist Sister Yuanzhen, are you okay?" Qinyao came back to her senses, sighed secretly, nodded and said: "Sister Jiang."
Xia Di said in surprise: "Taoist nun? Is she a Taoist priest?" She asked Jiang Sanlang, but her eyes looked up and down at Qin Yao in surprise, with a look of disbelief.
Jiang Sanlang looked at Xia Di with solemnity: "Miss Qu is a lay disciple of Qingyun Temple. She once helped to get rid of evil spirits in my house. She is the most righteous person. How did you fight with her so well?"
Xia Di was stunned for a while and then said with a smile: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Miss Qu, I didn't know you were the third brother's friend, so I offended you so much just now." Having said that, there was no trace of guilt on his face. .
Qin Yao responded coldly and said to Jiang Sanlang: "Third Young Master, I'm afraid there's already a banquet ahead of this meeting. Could you please take me to the flower hall?"
Only then did Jiang Sanlang notice that there was no servant around Qin Yao, and asked in surprise: "Why is there no servant around the Taoist nun?" He turned to look at Xia Di, and understood instantly, and gave Xia Di a harsh look. , then led Qinyao to the corridor: "Miss Qu, please follow me."
?? Seeing Jiang Sanlang and Qin Yao walking forward, he hurriedly followed them and said sarcastically: "No, it's getting late. Mother and the others may be impatient by now."
The three of them arrived at the flower hall, but the banquet was not held in the hall, but in the small garden outside the hall.
The tabletops merge into a long tabletop, which can accommodate hundreds of people. There are male guests on the left and female guests on the right. The two sides face each other across the table.
The banquet has started, and everyone on the table is drinking and mingling, wearing fragrant clothes and having shadows on their temples, it¡¯s so lively.
Qinyao searched everywhere for a while, but couldn't find her brother, so she had to let Jiang Sanlang lead him to Xia Qian.
Jiang Sanlang only told Xia Di that Qin Yao was lost in the garden. He and Xia Di happened to be passing by, so they brought Miss Qu over.
Xia Qian showed a relieved expression and said, "I'm about to send someone to find you."
He led her to a seat to sit down, and introduced her to the right and left in a low voice: "This is the second young lady of Jinghaihou's family, her maiden name is Qin Yuan." Qin Yao looked down and saw a fair and delicate girl. The young lady is about thirteen or fourteen years old. She looks a little timid when looking at people, far more fragile and naive than ordinary ladies.
Qin Yao nodded to her and said with a smile: "Miss Qin." Qin Yuan hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, stuttering a little: "Miss Qu, Miss Qu."
Xia Qian then introduced Qin Yao to the woman on the right side of her seat: "This is the daughter of Wang Shangshu's family, her maiden name is Wang Yingning."
Ms. Wang¡¯s eyebrows were gentle and pretty, and her demeanor was as calm as water. Qinyao fell in love with her at first sight, and said with a smile: ¡°Ms. Wang.¡±
After Xia Qian introduced the three of them, she turned around to greet the other guests.
Qin Yao sat down between the two of them. When she saw the table full of delicacies, her stomach rumbled for a while, so she started eating without caring about being polite.
Qin Yuan's eyes were wide open, as if she had never seen such a cheerful attitude, but Wang Yingning smiled slightly, took two pieces of roasted venison for Qin Yao, and said, "But are you hungry? This venison is very roasted. Okay, you have a try." Treating people is as natural as flowing water.
Qinyao paused, smiled and winked at Wang Yingning.
As soon as the banquet was over, the servants led Qin Yao and others to the inner courtyard. They said that the princess had ordered a poetry meeting to be held in the evening, and all the ladies and gentlemen were invited to show off their talents.
Qin Yao and others walked to the pavilion where they had tea before, and saw Xia Xian from a distance talking to a young man. The man was wearing a robe of clear color after the rain, with a long body, standing in the garden. Under the projection of the inner lantern, it is particularly eye-catching.
Xia Qian¡¯s eyes were focused, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of smiles, and her expression seemed a bit softer than before.
The man seemed to be absent-minded, looking in the direction of the garden entrance from time to time. Qin Yao could not help but be surprised when she saw the man's appearance clearly, but it was Lin Xiao.
As soon as Lin Xiao saw Qin Yao, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. He said something to Xia Qian and walked towards Qin Yao.
