Chapter 135
Chapter 147 The Third Extraordinary 1
September of the eleventh year of Yuanqing.
The yellow flowers were all over the ground, and it was warm and cold, and there was laughter in the Anhua Hall.
Several girls from the Xu family were talking around Xuhou.
Empress Xu sat on the Arhat couch and smiled at Mother Zhuang: “These girls are more beautiful than the other girls.”
Xu Siniang Xu Lianyi said: “My aunt is very polite and she is one in a million. How can we compare?”
Xu Sanniang and Xu Yining nodded in agreement: “There are no outsiders at the moment, and my niece dared to say something. No one is as good-looking as the aunts whom I saw just now.”
“The mouths are sweeter than the other, just like wiping honey.” Empress Xu smiled, glanced out the window and said: “It’s not early anymore, the palace won’t keep you a few, later. Go to the side hall, take things, and go back.”
The girls from the Xu family bowed to thank you.
Empress Xu took a sip of tea and said, “Sanniang stays, this palace has something to say to you.”
Everyone should have retreated. Empress Xu took Xu Sanniang’s hand and said, “Ning’er, how close are you to those girls from the Shen family?”
Xu Sanniang nodded, “Shen’s third year is a little bit younger. My niece doesn’t talk much with her, and is closer to Shen Jia and Shen Yao.”
Xuhou nodded and said directly: “There is something in this palace, I would like to ask you for a favor.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Sanniang was shocked and immediately said: “The aunt’s words are serious. As the daughter of Xu’s family, she should regard her aunt’s words as a standard. No matter what her aunt calls her niece, she can’t talk about the word’help’.”
After Xu smiled.
These are the daughters of their Xu family, one by one can be clearer than the other.
Xu Hou whispered in her ear, Xu Sanniang’s eyes opened wider and wider.
“Manny!”
Xu Hou said indifferently: “Don’t worry, you do what the palace says, this palace will not ask anyone to suspect you about this matter. You and the Shen family will continue to be as usual in the future.”
Xu Sanniang squeezed her palms and said, “My niece has something to ask.”
“You ask.”
“Then Li Di, but the son of a poor family?”
Xuhou nodded, “Yes. You don’t have to worry about the rest, Ning’er, you only need to let Shen Lao go to the banquet alone.”
“The niece understands.”
Empress Xu looked at her and said, “My palace knows that you don’t want to marry Fan Yanglu’s Shishi Lang.”
Xu Sanniang said, “Since the marriage has been decided, Yining wants to marry.”
Xu Hou smiled and said: “My palace also knows that you like that Xuanping Hou Shizi Suiyu.”
Xu Sanniang blushed and said, “Auntie!”
“Curious how did I know?” Xu Hou bent his eyes and stood up. “For a daughter of your age, everything is written on her face. It’s not hard to guess, Ning’er, I see you as my own child. Whether it’s done or not, my aunt promised you and helped you withdraw from your marriage with the Lu family.”
Queen Xu nodded her nose and said, “I won’t let your A-niang know.”
Xu Sanniang’s cheeks flushed, and she whispered, “What the aunt said…but is it true?”
Queen Xu: “Can’t you trust me?”
Xu Sanniang said anxiously: “How dare you!”
—
Early the next morning, Xu Sanniang came to the gate of Yunyang Houfu.
The housekeeper led her through the corridor to Lanning Garden. This is the yard of Mr. Shen.
As soon as Xu Sanniang entered the door, she took Shen Ao’s hand and said, “Sister, while the rumor is not there, I want to tell you something.”
Shen Jia smiled helplessly: “Aren’t you the best with her? Is there anything you need to avoid?”
Xu Sanniang said: “But I don’t want to be known as a rumor. A sister promised me that no one would say it. Xu Lianyi doesn’t know about this matter.”
Aunt Shen sat down, poured a glass of water for her, and said, “Sure, you can talk about it.”
Xu Sanniang sat down, took a deep breath, and whispered: “I have a marriage contract with Fan Yang Lu Jia Shi Shi Lang, Sister A knows it.”
Shen Jia nodded, “What’s the matter?”
Xu Sanniang’s face became redder and red, covering her mouth, and leaning to Shen Jia’s ear, said: “He is going to take part in next year’s scientific examination. Right now, he has already arrived in Chang’an.”
“Sister, I had a marriage contract with him a long time ago, but I still don’t know what he looks like…”
Shen Lao knew immediately, and said, “Do you want to see him? Where are the others? Hongwen Hall?”
Xu Sanniang hesitated for a long while.
Shen Lao said directly: “You can speak directly, there are no outsiders here.”
Xu Sanniang said: “The Queen Niangniang will host a flower appreciation banquet at Mulan Lake on the eighth day of the eighth day. In addition to the female relatives in the past, she also invited a few students to write poetry. Sister accompany me, OK?”
Shen Lao said: “If I go with you, rumors…”
“No!” Xu Sanniang said anxiously: “Sister A also knows the temperament of rumors. She has always watched the excitement and is not too big of a problem. If she is told to know, she will have to tease me…”
After hearing these words, Shen Jia could think of Shen Yao raising an unkind expression on his jaw, and sighed: “Sure, I will go with you.”
Xu Sanniang took Shen Jiao’s arm and said, “You are simply my dear sister.”
At noon, Xu Sanniang left Yunyang Hou Mansion.
Riding in the carriage, said to a maidservant beside him: “Enter the palace.”
—
A sycamore leaf makes a sound of autumn.
The eighth day.
The carriage stopped, Shen Hao and Xu Yining first went to greet Queen Xu, and then went to Shuming Pavilion to enjoy the chrysanthemum with many female relatives.
Looking around—
Today, the banks of Mulan Lake are not like they used to be, with crowds of pedestrians and colorful tourists. Only in the depths of the corridor bridge, there are a few men in Chinese clothes each holding a book and joking.
Shen Lao whispered: “But there?”
Xu Sanniang nodded.
The blue clouds are smooth, the green waves are rippling, the maple trees are slightly off, and the pines and cypresses are emerald green.
The red fish and the mallard are chasing each other.
While chatting with female family members with authentic tea, Xu Yining whispered: “Sister, please accompany me over.”
Shen Yao’s apricot eyes curled, “Okay.”
The two of them walked all the way with arms and wrists, and when they reached the waterside pavilion, Xu Sanniang hesitated, her face full of thoughts from her daughter’s house.
Xu Sanniang said, “I can’t breathe anymore.”
Shen Jia laughed at her: “Go or not?”
Xu Sanniang said: “Sister A is here, waiting for me. I’ll go to him and ask for directions. I think I’m gone.”
Shen Hao frowned: “Will this be too obvious?”
Xu Sanniang shook Shen Ao’s arm, “Sister A, can you have another way?”
This kind of thing, where did Shen Lao get it, and said: “Such a thing, don’t ask me.”
Xu Sanniang said, “Sister A is here waiting for me. If I haven’t come back after a moment, Sister A should look for me, how about?”
Shen Lao said: “Success.”
Xu Sanniang left, and Shen Hao looked sideways to admire the lake, the sunlight shone obliquely, the rays of the sun shone, and his heart said: It’s so beautiful.
I don’t know, she is the most beautiful in the eyes of the man behind the shade of the tree.
Eye light is better than Qiubo, laughter is better than fireworks.
Li Di stopped breathing.
Is she the eldest daughter of Yunyang Houfu?
After a while, seven or eight maids walked towards them slowly holding snacks, tea, aromatherapy and other things.
The west wind suddenly came to a halt, and the cicadas stopped abruptly. One of the maid stomped on the hem of the predecessor’s skirt and leaped forward. Eight of them fell towards Shen Hao one after another.
Tea, snacks, and aromatherapy are all overturned.
There was a sound of “dang, dang”.
Shen Hao was hit, she slipped, and she leaned backwards like weightlessness—
The maid looked behind the tree, and as she looked at each other, Li Di nodded. He ran a few steps quickly, leaped, and jumped into the lake with a “puff”.
The maid frowned, and vaguely, how could she hear two sounds of entering the water!
Look back again!
How is this going!
At the moment there was no time to think about this situation, and she had to pretend to shout, “Come on! Someone has fallen into the water!”
Several other maids also shouted together, “Come here! Someone has fallen into the water!”
—
When Shen Hao had difficulty breathing, she was forcibly pulled upwards. The lake was choking, and my mind was blank.
She can’t see anything.
Can’t hear anything.
The whole person is weightless.
When she opened her eyes, she met a pair of eyes, narrow and deep, which belonged to a man.
There are water beads on the forehead and the straight bridge of the nose of the person in front of me.
“Tick” on her.
Shen Hao breathed heavily, getting more and more hurried, she forced herself to calm down…
However, he couldn’t calm down at all.
At this moment, she is being beaten and hugged by a strange man…Her clothes are soaked!
Beautiful eyes were full of panic.
She wanted to talk, wanted him to put herself down, open her mouth, but coughed involuntarily. The man put her down, patted her back, and whispered: “Speak slowly.”
Shen Jia was unsteady with Ben, and his body was swaying, so the man had to stretch his hand over, “The girl is holding on to the bottom, she won’t move.”
As the autumn wind blew, Shen Hao shuddered.
Those beautiful eyes stared at his shabby but clean Tsing Yi, and sternly said: “Who are you on earth!”
After that, her body shook again.
The man had to step forward to catch her, and whispered: “The next surname is Zhou, the name is Shu’an, and the word is Rongjun, from Jiaxing, Suzhou.”
