Chapter 115 Du Qi
"Seriously, how can Pei Zhuo come so slowly?" Du Ye suddenly put away the same joke in his eyes and said with a serious look, "He lives in Anyifang, which is much closer than others. Even if there are many tourists coming to the Qujiang Pool today, and the carriages and horses should not be so slow!" The female crown came from Qing Wangguan!"
"Maybe Pei Zhuo's car broke down in the crowd, or the horse was shocked. There are so many people going out today, and it is inevitable that there will be some surprises, but Pei Zhuo is not a delicate girl, and it won't be a big deal." The man whispered slightly, "The third brother is not worried. Why don't you ask someone to go out and look for it?"
Du Ye said, "There are so many people, how can I find them?"
While talking, the door of Yajian was loudly, and there was a noise outside the door, mixed with laughter that both of them were familiar with: "Third brother, twelfth brother! The guests have almost arrived, but you two are still hiding in the elegant room? Is this the way my Du family treats guests?
"Oh, Qilang is here!" The two people in Yajian looked at each other. The person called the twelve brothers stood up, and Du Ye also opened the door. However, he saw a group of people standing outside the door, most of whom were uncrowned teenagers, many of whom were women. The first one was the age of being crowned, with a narrow face, peach blossoms in his eyes, a scarry brocade robe, a yellow sachet hanging around his waist, and ajin Ai Ren looked at them with a smile.
Du Ye glanced at the crowd with hairpin and laughed, "You're late. The twelfth brother arrived earlier than you. How dare you say that?"
"I just came a little later than you, but it was just in time for the guests to arrive." Du Qizhen said, "You two are really bold. Even Cui Dalangjun, who is famous in Chang'an, dares to leave the seat and not greet him in person. Aren't you afraid that the girls in Chang'an will come to our Du's house tomorrow to seek justice for Cui Da?"
He spoke loudly, and there was laughter from far and near upstairs.
Yuanxiu moaned behind the bamboo curtain, covered his face with his sleeves, and whispered, "Oh no, how could they invite Cui Fengwu to come..."
However, a familiar and clear voice not far away replied: "Brother Zhibai's words are bad. Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that Brother Bai is romantic and attracts the beauty to win the favor of each other, so why make fun of Chengmei?"
Cui Fengwu's character is clear and beautiful, but Zhibai is a word taken by Du Qi and Du Liu. Both of them are generally the talked-provoking Langjun in Chang'an City, but the former is as bright as the moon. Although his posture has fallen in love with the whole Chang'an girl, even the golden branches and jade leaves in the deep palace, it rarely comes out. Which girl is close? On the other hand, the latter is that the girls from Chang'an love and hate. Du Liu has won the crown this year, but his romantic reputation has existed since he was 14 years old. His father Du Huangyi didn't know how many methods he used to correct his family tradition, but Du Liu refused to change this sex. Zi, and his means of deal with the aftermath are quite good. No matter which girl he seduces, he can always make people willingly calm people after the event. Over time, Du Huangyi simply ignored him and went with him.
This time, the Du family arranged a banquet in Guanlanlou in advance. In name, it was for Du to finally return to Chang'an for many years. They took the opportunity of the Dragon Boat Festival to invite relatives and friends everywhere to gather to celebrate. In fact, it had nothing to do with Du Qi's vigorously encouraged him. The purpose of his intimulation was naturally to show off the new beauty.
Cui Fengwu's words happened to arouse everyone's questions, and he heard someone ask with a smile, "When it comes to the beauty of Du Qilang, I don't know why Qilang is single today?" We have all heard that you will bring a beautiful woman today. This beauty is still a wonderful person with both talent and beauty. She is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Is it that something is coming? I'm worried that there will be a lot of talents in the building today. Are you afraid that the beauty will not hug the pipa? This is not like Qilang's temperament!"
"Brother Wei, you are wrong! It's not that Changqilang and others are determined to destroy their prestige. Although there are many people upstairs today, who dares to say that they can win the hearts of beautiful women more than Qilang?
The previous brother Wei asked, "In this case, why don't you invite the beauty out quickly so that I can wait for a look?"
"Brother Wei and Brother Zhang, why are you anxious?" Du Liushi smiled and said, "The Cui girl accidentally stained the skirt, and my beauty accompanied the Cui girl to change clothes, and she will come naturally in a moment!"
Yuan Xiu was listening attentively, but he heard someone cheering outside, "Cui's girl, but Chengmei's sister? I didn't expect Yao Niang to come too! Du Qilang, you have a great face!"
"This is not my face!" Du Liuyu said with a smile and only said half of it, but was looked at by the people behind him with a smile. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He fooled over and pushed the humane around him, "Please feel free to take your seats - the little man below just came to report that the dragon boat was put into the water. It will start later. Although Guanlan Building can't see the end As a result, you can see the longest and most tortuous part. Don't just make fun of me and Chengmei and miss today's Zhengjing!"
Yuanxiu heard this and also looked up to the east. In her position, she could see the surface of Qujiang Pool through the bamboo curtain, but after a while, the dragon boat came, and all the people upstairs would definitely rush to the railing to see, but it was about to block her sight. She couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth and wondered why Du Qingtang didn't. Come on?
Outside under Du Liu's perfunctory, all the guests dispersed and took their empty seats to sit down.
The seats around Yuanxiu are gradually full of people, and the seats are only covered by bamboo curtains, and the number of people between each curtain is limited. Therefore, many people, because they are familiar with each other, ordered the prepared servants of the Du family to come forward and roll up a few bamboo curtains, or simply remove them, and make several seats together.
"This..." Yuan Xiu was still thinking about when Du Qingtang would appear. The bamboo curtain beside her was suddenly opened. A maid in an emerald green dress and a pair of girls, who looked very handsome, opened the curtain. Bai Shengsheng's face was about to speak with a kind smile. Unexpectedly, she said two words. Yuan Xiu She turned her face unconsciously, and the maid raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Yuan Xiu looked at her and was still confused, but the maid had thrown down the curtain and ran to the next door.
"What's on my face?" Yuan Xiu was extremely puzzled and quickly turned his head to ask Shouzhen around him.
Shouzhen stared at her face seriously, but shook his head affirmatively.
Yuanxiu was still touching his face and depressed, but he saw the figure behind the bamboo curtain, and then the curtain was quickly beaten up and put down again. A girl in an apricot yellow skirt lined with a peacock blue chest skirt and a drooping bun slipped in vigorously. A fairy red slanted pendant on her temples, fragrant and lowered. Voice: "Your master?!"
After staring at the girl for a moment, Yuan Xiu finally understood what the previous maid's reaction was - Pei 24 Niang!
"Shh!" Yuan Xiu made a silent gesture, and Pei 24 Niang suddenly understood and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't speak up."
"Why did you make the woman lift my curtain?" Yuan Xiu asked strangely.
Pei Si Niang looked at the sackcloth bun on her body, hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and then said, "Well, I am familiar with several seats nearby, so I thought about tearing down these curtains like next to me. Because I saw someone inside you outside, but I didn't know if they were familiar with each other, so I asked someone to take a look first, but I didn't I thought it was your lord... but why is your lord dressed like this? She received Yuanxiu's sister with the head of Shengping County and Jinkang County in the house of Princess Jiashan. At that time, her maid was naturally also on the side. No wonder she knew Yuanxiu, but there were many people on that day, and Yuanxiu could not remember a little maid.
"Uh...I..." Yuan Xiu opened his mouth, glanced outside the curtain, turned his eyes and said, "I want to see the dragon boat!"
"The king's son was crowned by Princess Cui, and the opposite Tinglan Pavilion, and his vision is a little better than here. The prince of Lu, the princess and other clans are all over there. Don't you know?" Pei 24 Niang asked curiously. Because Emperor Xianzong hesitated on the establishment of the crown prince for several years, after Fengchun succeeded to the throne, he allowed his uncle King Lu to stay in Chang'an, but among his brothers, except for the young King Xu, he was sent to the fiefdom. The fief of the king was in Hedong, Yunzhou, and Princess Cui died in Emperor Xianzong. After going to live for a period of time, because Yunzhou was far less prosperous than Chang'an, he asked the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian to move back to live in Chang'an. On behalf of the king, he sent his son Li Yun to accompany Princess Cui to serve his grandmother. Fengchun also acquiesced in this matter.
Yuanxiu coughed and tried to make his face look as if nothing had happened and said, "Well, I happened to go to Qing Wangguan to pray for blessings yesterday. My third aunt gave me an invitation to attend for her, so I pretended to come in the name of Qing Wangguan's female crown - is there anyone who knows me outside?"
Pey 24's eyes turned around and said sympathetically, "There are two people, you must have heard it in there just now..."
"Two?" Yuanxiu thought it was the brother and sister of the Cui family, but he didn't expect that Pei 24 Niang sighed, "One Cui Fengwu and the other is naturally his cousin Liu Zhebye!"
Yuan Xiu stroked his forehead and said, "What should I do?"
"It's not a big deal for your master to go out of the palace to see the dragon boat. Why do you have to... um, dress like this?" Pei 24 Niang is very puzzled.
"...Today's banquet, I... escaped from the banquet, and..." Yuan Xiu opened his mouth. At this time, a strange young man's voice came from outside, saying with a trace of doubt, "24 Niang, who is inside? But do we know each other? If not, we can remove the other curtains. Why don't you go in and come out?
"We know each other, and we have something to say!" Pei 24 Niang quickly answered and whispered to Yuan Xiu, "Well, your Lord doesn't want others to know your identity, but only this... I'll go out first and quietly remind Cui and Liu. By the way, your lord pretends to be the female crown and doesn't know what to call it?"
Yuanxiu settled his mind: "The Taoist account is the truth!"
"... Taoist priest, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go!" Pei Si Niang covered her sleeves and smiled, got up and lifted the curtain.
