Chapter 64: Provoking trouble
As soon as Luzhi sat down, a group of people came over.
Looking at the person in the middle, Zhao Wangshu stood up and saluted: "I have met the Xinxing County Lord, the County Lord Wan'an."
Xinxing County Lord looked her up and down, "You are Who?"
"People's daughter Zhao Wangshu." Zhao Wangshu bowed his head and said.
"It turns out that you are the Queen's family. What are you doing here?" Xinxing County Lord stared at her with an unkind look and asked.
"If you are tired from walking, let's rest here."
"Sit on the floor? Miss Zhao is really informal." Xinxing County Lord obviously did not believe her statement.
"I am a country girl, I have gone to the fields, so I don't have to pay much attention to it."
"You are really self-aware." The Xinxing County Lord chuckled. "How long have you been here?"
"Just arrived."
"Really?" Xingxing County Lord asked questioningly.
“I dare not deceive the county lord.”
“Okay, then let me ask you, have you ever seen a young master wearing Xuanyi?”
< br />"I've never seen it before." Zhao Wangshu replied calmly.
The head of Xinxing County was not interested in talking to her anymore. He flicked his sleeves and left with her group of maids.
“You can’t be quiet even if you hide here.” Zhao Wangshu took Lvzhi and left the way he came from Xinxing County.
In addition to the lotus in the pond, the Lotus Garden also has other beautiful scenery, including pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and painted buildings, rockeries and strange rocks. Every place is unique and poetic.
The master and servant walked along the path beside the pond, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Lotus Garden.
The breeze blows, the lotus leaves sway gently, and the fragrance of the lotus is refreshing and intoxicating.
"Girl, look at that lotus with a dragonfly parked on it." Green Branch pointed at a lotus bud that had just emerged from the water in the pool.
"It's strange to see something small, as ancient poems say: 'As soon as the little lotus reveals its sharp corners, a dragonfly will stand on it.'" A sudden voice interrupted.
When the master and servant turned around, they saw it was Liu Furong.
"It's Miss Liu, hello." Zhao Wangshu smiled politely.
"You Zhao family are really good at digging into the camp, and you dare to come to participate in the Lotus Viewing Festival even if you are naked." Liu Furong waved her fan gently, with a sarcastic look on her face.
Zhao Wangshu said coldly: "Miss Liu, why don't you go to the empress and say this."
Liu FurongseLi Neirong said bluntly: "You don't have to use your mother-in-law to pressure me. I, the Duke of Yongguo, are not easy to mess with."
"We all respect the late queen's natal family." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
When Liu Furong saw Zhao Wangshu's indifferent attitude, she felt even more angry, but she had no choice but to snort coldly, turn around and leave.
"It's none of your business that I'm talking to my girl. It's a dog's fault." Luzhi spat at her dissatisfied.
"Don't be angry, let's go." Zhao Wangshu held the green branches and continued walking in the lotus garden, admiring the beautiful scenery.
"Girl, look over there, there is a lotus flower on both sides!" Green Branch suddenly pointed at a lotus flower not far away and said.
Zhao Wangshu looked in the direction pointed by the green branch and saw a pink lotus flower standing gracefully on the blue waves. The petals were stained with crystal dew, which was really beautiful.
“Bingtilian is quite rare.” Zhao Wangshu smiled and walked towards the pond.
“Girl, be careful.” A voice exclaimed.
"Whoosh!" A black shadow passed in front of Zhao Wangshu. Zhao Wangshu was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost slipped. Fortunately, Green Branch helped her in time, "Girl, are you okay?"< br />
“A rat?” Zhao Wangshu didn’t see clearly.
"It's a wild cat." The person who reminded her to be careful was Xiao Bin, who won the first prize in poetry. He walked over and handed over his hand, "Xiao Bin has seen a girl, and the girl is polite."
“Thank you, Mr. Xiao.” Zhao Wangshu returned the courtesy.
"You're welcome, girl." Xiao Bin smiled, "The road beside the pool is slippery, so it's better not to get close, girl." "
She took the green branches and left. Xiao Bin opened his mouth and whispered, "I haven't asked your name yet?"
Zhao Wangshu could hear it. Before he could say anything, he walked to the viewing pavilion in front and sat down to rest. Suddenly, a burst of music came from the piano.
The sound of the piano is sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes low and gentle, sometimes like rough waves, sometimes like the gurgling stream.
"High mountains and flowing water!" Zhao Wangshu heard it, closed his eyes, leaned against the pavilion pillar and listened quietly.
She didn’t go looking for people to see who was playing the harp. The eggs were delicious, but she didn’t need to know which chicken laid them.
When watching the sun, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, and Zhao Wangshu slowly walked to the front yard of Fuyu Garden. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw two girls.
One is Gao Caining, and the other is wearing a pink and blue embroidered skirt. She was sitting with Gao Caining at the poetry meeting.Together.
She was teasing Gao Caining, "Why are you in such a hurry to come out? Why don't you talk to your brother Xiang for a while?"
"Oh, someone came in, please stay away. I said it." Gao Caining glared at the girl in blue, "Hello, I am Gao Caining, from the Duke of E's house. Which family are you from?"
"I am Xu Juying, from the Duke of Cheng'en. I don’t think I’ve seen you before.” Xu Juying.
Zhao Wangshu smiled and said: "My surname is Zhao and my name is Wangshu. I'm glad to meet you."
"Please sit down." Gao Caining said with a smile.
Since we are not familiar with each other, we can only talk about the poems from today’s poetry meeting.
After chatting for a while, several more girls came to the small hall one after another and exchanged greetings with each other.
After the Zhao family arrived, everyone went out and took a carriage back to the Zhao family mansion.
Mrs. Zhao asked them lovingly, "Did you have fun today?"
"Very happy." Zhao He replied.
"That's good, I'll rest assured that you are happy." Mrs. Zhao glanced at the girls, "You are tired too, go and have a rest, and come back for dinner later."< br />
Zhao Wangshu expected that Mrs. Zhao would ask her for questions. After all, she and Zhao Jiahua were the only ones bringing maids who were not arranged by the mansion. Mrs. Zhao had no idea of their whereabouts.
But she didn’t expect that Mrs. Zhao would be so direct in her question, “I have seen so many noble gentlemen, are there any that Wang Shu can catch my eye with?”
“Old Mrs. , I'm still young." Zhao Wangshu lowered his head and pretended to be shy.
"You are not young anymore. You are almost fifteen years old. It is time to get to know each other. When you are old enough, you can get married."
"The eldest brother in the family I’m not married yet, so I’m not in a hurry about my marriage.” Zhao Wangshu said.
"Men and women are different. A man can get married later for fame, but a daughter's appearance is easy to age, so there is no need to delay." Mrs. Zhao said earnestly.
"Besides, if you have someone you like, you can also make a marriage arrangement first. It won't be too late to wait until your eldest brother gets married, and then you can arrange your marriage."
Zhao Wangshu Wen He said with a sneer, it seemed that Old Mrs. Zhao really wanted her to marry into a wealthy family, but she did not want to act according to Old Mrs. Zhao's arrangements and be a supporter of the wealthy family.
"If I really find someone I like, I will tell the old lady." Zhao Wangshu prevaricated.
"Okay, then you should pay more attention to yourself. If you meet a suitable candidate, you should tell me in time." Mrs. Zhao did not dare to force her desperately.
Zhao Wangshu nodded obediently, "I will pay more attention."
"That's good." Mrs. Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "You can go back."
Zhao Wangshu saluted and retreated, but she did not go far. She was near the courtyard of the upper house. After a while, she saw the magpie leading Zhao Jiahua in, smiled understandingly, and turned around to leave.
Note: Mrs. Zhao said she was fictitious, but Xiao Yue'er was actually only thirteen years old.
