"It's been a long time, has the injury on Miss Fourth's hand healed?"
There was a sudden sound, jumping out from the side, and there was the coolness of gurgling spring water in the sad wind, but it was like cold water pouring on Shen Nanbao, giving him a sudden chill.
Mrs. Wang, who was chatting with her, raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Chen Xiaohou, why didn't you have a drink in the west hall and instead came to join our group of women?"
Chen Fangyan smiled and raised his fists in response, "The men in that room were drunk and stinky. I hid here because I smelled unlucky, so as not to go back smelling drunk and be nagged by my mother."
He was still speaking in such a toneless manner, but he was handsome, from a very noble family, and always had an elegant rhyme. Mrs. Sui Wang didn't feel the rudeness, she just covered her lips with a fan and smiled slowly, "You are the only one who dares to say these things, look. Look at the other young men, who is not hesitant?"
With that said, he stretched out Shen Nanbao with his arm, "Fourth girl, do you think so?"
Having said this out of breath, Shen Nanbao felt like he was in the clouds just now, but now he fell to the solid ground. He broke out in a cold sweat. Facing Chen Fangyan's thorny gaze, he straightened the corners of his mouth and said, "No."
Chen Fangyan, who had just been crowned, had a face like a cucumber egg, and his eyes were soft and squinted in ridicule.
It makes people look at it and think it is plain and honest, but when it comes to kindness, it is definitely out of the question.
After all, he was able to deceive himself and everyone in his previous life for many years. Now that he has been reborn, isn't his mind even more like an abyss, with no corners exposed and no bottom visible?
If I didn't keep my heart in mind and act like a knife, I'm afraid that he would find out the clues, and then I would be really helpless!
What about revenge?
Even though I thought so and had taken precautions before, the hatred had already become gangrenous in my heart. Now I met Chen Fangyan and listened to his few words, the hatred was like a wave, slapping Shen Nanbao on the brain. , the hands tucked into the armholes could hardly restrain themselves from trembling.
Chen Fangyan seemed to be quite at ease, and looked at her with a faint smile, "I just saw He Ji in the east hall, drunk for a long time after drinking wine, and I noticed that the fourth girl looked like she had left her soul."
Shen Nanbao was horrified, her hands and feet were numb, but she didn't dare to raise her head, fearing that others would see the fear and hatred in her eyes, so she lowered her head and pretended to be angry and said: "Mr. Chen Xiaohou, you have to pay attention to what you say. , I am a good girl, and I have not left the court, so how can I drink like that!"
Chen Fangyan snorted, "Fourth girl, don't be upset. What I said is reasonable. I just asked Fourth girl how your hand was doing, but you didn't answer. It's not like you were absent-minded."
There was a consistent ridicule in his tone, and Shen Nanbao just wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave, but because of such an occasion, he had to frown and kneel, "Thank you, Mr. Chen Xiaohou, for your concern. Yue Yue's condition is just a broken arm and lameness. Everything is healed, so my little injury is nothing to worry about. I think the young Marquis is drunk and has nothing to say."
Her original intention was to be polite and distant, but there was hatred in her heart, so she didn't do it satisfactorily. The more she talked, the more she said it, and her voice was bright and clear, and she was rubbing her teeth with a hint of anger. Mrs. Wang even forgot to shake the fan in her hand.
Her eyes looked left and right, thinking that the two of them knew each other, and seeing that the woman's charming face and the man's rosy face complemented each other perfectly when they stood together, Mrs. Wang wisely stopped poking her eye sockets in front of others, just He turned to smile at the women gathering in another place.
"Mrs. Qi, which shop did you get this soft smoke gauze from? Why is it so fine?"
As Yi Bi'er spoke, Yi Bi'er walked away, leaving Shen Nanbao and Chen Fangyan looking at each other.
Looking at each other in confusion should be out of the question. After all, Shen Nanbao kept his head buried, as if he wanted to fold his head on his waist, but he was secretly annoyed with Mrs. Wang. Fang Fang didn't seem to have any eyesight, so he had to talk to her in front of her. , now I am so selfish that I insist on taking advantage of him.
However, just because Mrs. Wang knows how to apply oil on the soles of her feet does not mean that she cannot.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, Chen Fangyan suddenly closed his fan and interrupted her, "Fourth girl, I saw your Hui Zhai from a distance. It is really exquisitely embroidered. Can I ask who the fourth girl studied under?"
If Shen Nanbao were a cat, she would definitely be furious right now, but she wasn't. She was still weighing the scale in her heart from time to time, for fear that if it was tilted, he would see something fishy, so she would look at each other with a piece of fake leather. he.
"I just learned it from my grandmother who raised me since I was a child."
In any conversation, you ask a question, I answer a question, and then ask questions. Only in this way can you come back and forth with me, and the conversation can go on smoothly.
But Shen Nanbao didn't. She didn't answer until Chen Fangyan asked her. Every strand of her hair was filled with her reluctance.
Xiao Yichen, who was being teased by several ladies, looked at it from a distance, but that was not the case. He only felt that Shen Nanbao's lowered head was the shyness of the young lady when meeting her lover, and occasionally when she raised her head to look at each other, there was also a green willow breeze. The warmth and tenderness of her were completely different from the cautious and heartfelt uneasiness with which she treated herself.
His eyes just darkened, as cold as a knife, and the ladies who were trying to cling to him felt horrified and hurriedly avoided him.
Xiao Yichen put his hands behind his back and strode forward. At such a short distance, the hot wind in the hall felt no warmth on his body. Even the green and flowing dandruff in front of him was gray. Only the face that was getting closer and closer had a trace of color. Fresh and warm color.
But the color was not because of him, but because of others. Xiao Yichen walked up to them and heard his voice was like ice, so aggressive that it could penetrate people's lungs, "Why are you here, Mr. Chen Xiaohou? Just now I saw Mrs. Guogong's Mansion." I was looking for you, saying that there is a young lady from another family who wants to see you."
The sudden interjection directly relieved Shen Nanbao's troubles, and he bent his knees with a smile like a flower, "Commander, why do you come to the east hall too?"
That smile comes from the heart, just like what he saw when he came in just now. The eyebrows are curved and hooked, which can draw people's hearts into the honey pot. Thick syrup surges up, so sweet that Xiao Yichen can't help but smile. rising.
But after all, he is the commander-in-chief of the palace who is responsible for life and death. He needs to be calm and steady at all times, so he purses his lips and suppresses it.
His mouth was suppressed, but he couldn't hide the shallow lines at the ends of his eyes. When they were heated by the bright candlelight, flowers bloomed into Chen Fangyan's eyes, causing his eyebrows to darken and his voice to be cold.
"Did the Commander-in-Chief make a mistake? I made it clear to the Duke's wife earlier that I have recently been favored by the officials and given the title of Ambassador of Comfort. I should put official duties first, and we can talk about the love between our children later."
The two points are very clear, but most people are not willing to interrupt someone's marriage. After all, if you take away the husband they are talking about marrying, no matter how reasonable and well-founded it is, it will inevitably be laughed at and said to be a habit of flirting. Show off.
Shen Nanbao didn't know why Xiao Yichen suddenly asked like this, but she obeyed his words and pretended to be sensible, and she smiled more politely with Chen Fangyan.
Xiao Yichen was not satisfied when he saw this. He put his hands behind his hands and smiled more and more harmoniously, "Maybe I remembered it wrong. It's not the wife of the Duke's Palace, but the wife of some other lady next to me?"
Shen Nanbao couldn't help lowering his head and chuckled silently.
She originally thought that the commander of the front office was good at making use of his eyes and knives, but she didn't expect that his mouth could be so powerful that he could poke people like sieves.
As for Chen Fangyan, the one who spoke was the commander of the Palace Front Division, and he also had the title of County Prince. He could not lose face, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth and said: "I am even more confused by what the Palace Commander said. I have been busy preparing all day long." Hanbao will know a little lady, madam."
That's fine. I believe that based on Shen Nanbao's eyesight, he can tell that he lacks confidence.
What's more, Chen Fangyan is a Meng Lang, and the whole Jinling knows that he doesn't need to beat her again and again. Beating her too much will turn things upside down, and it will not encourage her to rebel.
Then Xiao Yichen nodded, and was about to say a few high-sounding words to end the conversation, but he didn't expect that Shen Nanyi couldn't hold it anymore and rushed towards several people.
"Mr. Chen Xiaohou, you are here, and we were still thinking of looking for you. However, the female family members couldn't go to the east hall to gather together, so we thought we had missed it."
The unclear words continued Xiao Yichen's joke just now. Shen Nanbao couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Just now, I was wondering which young lady wanted to find Mr. Chen Xiaohou, but it was fate. My big sister."
Shen Nanyi didn't know why she was laughing, but she just felt that the smile was dazzling, and immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded her, "Why are the fourth sisters smiling so well? A man laughs like an idiot and a woman laughs weirdly. Aren't you afraid of being seen criticizing the lintel of the Shen family? "
As he said that, he looked at Chen Fangyan, who had a face as dark as a pot. "Don't be offended, Mr. Chen Xiaohou. The fourth sister was born in the market, and she didn't have to learn many lessons, so she was so careless. I'm here to take care of the fourth sister." I apologize to you."
She thought she spoke tactfully and could show off her elegant demeanor, which would make Shen Nan Bao Ni Tu Colorless and make Chen Fangyan feel comfortable on the stage.
The more Xing thought this, the more Shen Nanyi saw the scene where Shen Nanbao was hiding his face in shame, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raised up, almost grinning to the ears.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fangyan frowned, and a gossamer smile slid coldly from the corner of his mouth, "If the eldest lady didn't say what she just said, I didn't think about it. But now that the eldest lady has said it, I am very suspicious." , After all, the eldest girl is a serious legitimate daughter of the Shen family, how come her words and deeds are so arrogant and sound like someone from the market?"
Shen Nanyi was startled, and the joy on her brow suddenly stopped, "Chen, Mr. Chen Xiaohou..."
Chen Fangyan glanced at Shen Nanbao and saw that she was smiling heartlessly. He didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, he looked for an excuse and walked away with a stern expression.
The figure who waved his sleeves was bound to shake off all the tedious things on his body, which made Shen Nanbao feel mixed in his heart.
On the one hand, she is conscious and happy. For such a cruel person, even a hundred times a thousand times of pain can't relieve the hatred of her previous life.
On the other hand, she thought that when she met him in her previous life, she always saw him in a graceful and graceful state, but never saw him in such a shriveled state.
She was in mourning and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Yichen turned his head, as if his eyes were dazzled by candlelight, and frowned fiercely, "The fourth girl is still attending the banquet. Everything must be done carefully, otherwise how can Wei Ni do well?"
