Fu Laiqing's voice was a bit loud, which made Qi Cheng's head buzz. He covered his ears: "Why are you so loud?"
After rubbing his ears vigorously, Qi Chengcai said: "We are just discussing, not decided yet."
"My mother really likes the daughter of the Qian family. She says she has a straightforward temper and looks good. My father also said that Qian Shangshu is a transparent person. He doesn't have too many twists and turns like those in the court. He married his daughter. , so there won’t be too much trouble.”
Qi Cheng didn't notice the wrong look on Fu Laiqing's face. He just raised his eyes and looked at the crowd not far away. He was concentrating on Qian Qiyue, a little girl beside him who was competing with others to thread needles and beg for skills. His eyes fell on her, who was more beautiful than peony. On the pretty face.
They are from a family of military commanders, and he has been wielding swords and guns since he was a child. If he really marries a cute little girl, he doesn't know how to get along with her, but it is this girl from the Qian family.
Remembering the last time he saw this little girl swinging a whip and beating a bully around in the alley, with a pair of phoenix eyes filled with anger as she scolded, Qi Cheng couldn't help but have a hint of smile in his eyes.
She looks a bit like a girl from a military commander's family. If she really gets married, she should get along well with him.
Fu Laiqing, who was standing aside, looked at the expression on his friend's face and couldn't help feeling depressed.
"Do you like the Qian girl?"
"It's not like I like it, I just think it's suitable."
Fu Laiqing's face suddenly sank: "What is appropriate or inappropriate? Since you are marrying a wife and living it for a lifetime, naturally you have to be happy with her heart."
Qi Cheng turned his head and was surprised when he heard this: "In a family like ours, whether you like it or not, it's a good thing if you can meet the right one. The girl from the Qian family has a good appearance and a good temperament. She can't fight with me." acquaintance……"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Fu Laiqing turning around and walking away. Qi Cheng was astonished and quickly caught up with him: "Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you leaving?"
Fu Laiqing slapped his hand off his shoulder and looked at his friend with doubtful eyes. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a long time. He should have been happy that his friend was getting married, but he felt depressed. There was a heavy discomfort, as if something was blocked.
Fu Laiqing pursed his lips slightly: "You and Mrs. Qian haven't gotten engaged yet, so don't mention her so carelessly, so as not to ruin other people's reputation."
Qi Cheng laughed: "I'm just telling you, isn't it? You don't know how to talk to others..."
Fu Laiqing said with a sullen face: "That won't work. A woman's reputation is greater than the sky. If something spreads out, wouldn't it hurt her reputation?"
Qi Cheng felt that his friend was acting strangely tonight. In the past, they had no scruples in talking to each other, and they didn't say anything excessive when they just mentioned the marriage.
But seeing that Fu Laiqing was unhappy, he didn't say anything more and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't mention it if I don't mention it."
There are too many people at Yinghe Lake, and there are many high platforms near the lake, almost all of which are necessary for competitions during Chinese Valentine's Day every year.
As soon as Fu Laiqing raised his eyes, he could see Qian Qiyue and the others in the crowd. The person following Tang Ning should be the concubine from the Song family. I heard that she changed her name to her mother's surname.
The little girl concentrated on threading the needle and thread. Qian Qiyue and Tang Ning stood quietly beside her. After a while, Xue Ru was the first to thread the needle and thread in her hand and put it on the silver plate on the table.
As the gong rang, the sound of "Miss Xue wins" was heard, and the crowd suddenly burst into applause.
"Aru, you are awesome!"
Qian Qiyue hugged Xue Ru and laughed and jumped. Her good mood could be felt even through the crowd.
Fu Laiqing softened his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile too.
"What are you laughing at?" Qi Cheng wondered.
Fu Laiqing's mouth suddenly straightened: "It's nothing..."
He was just about to say that it was too early to go back, but his face suddenly paused, and then he frowned and looked at Qian Qiyue and the others who were walking to the other side of the competition table.
Several little girls stood happily in the crowd, looking into the ring where the competition was taking place. Behind them, there were several people in the crowd who seemed to be approaching the ring, but if they were not mistaken, When he was in the restaurant earlier, he saw them walking behind Qian Qiyue and the others.
Is it a coincidence?
Fu Laiqing frowned tightly, wondering if he had seen it wrong. After all, most of the people who went out to play tonight would gather at Yinghe Lake. Maybe they just happened to be on the same road.
But just as this idea came to her mind, she saw Qian Qiyue pulling Tang Ning towards the other side, and those people followed suit. There were many people separated by them. Although they were not close to them, they still looked in the same direction.
Fu Laiqing's heart suddenly trembled, and he suddenly remembered Lu Qin's plot to kill Tang Ning's carriage and kill her. He quickly grabbed Qi Cheng beside him and walked quickly towards the lake.
"Hey, Ah Qing, what are you doing?" Qi Cheng, who was watching the excitement, was staggered.
Fu Laiqing lowered his voice: "Someone wants to harm the Lord of Yiyang County!"
Qi Cheng was stunned for a moment, the head of Yiyang County, Song Tangning?
He suddenly looked at Qian Qiyue, who was missing in the crowd. Thinking of the little girl in gorgeous clothes next to her, his face became solemn, and he hurriedly followed Fu Laiqing into the crowd.
…
"Aru, you are so awesome. I didn't expect you to thread the needle so fast!"
Qian Qiyue walked backwards with a smile on her face: "Have you seen the faces of those people? Fortunately, they laughed at me, but I was slapped in the face by Aru. I think it's funny when I think of what they looked like just now!"
Xue Ru's face turned red when she was praised: "I'm not very powerful either..."
She was just threading needles and threads. She had too few clothes in the past. Without a change of clothes, she had to take them off and mend them at night when no one was around.
There was too little lamp oil in her yard, and sometimes she was reluctant to use it, so she figured out how to thread the thread without borrowing a light. She never thought that one day she would be praised for this.
Tang Ning knew that Xue Ru was not a prostitute, and the Song family did not give her the conditions to learn. She could probably guess how Xue Ru could thread needles so quickly and accurately, so she touched her with distress. Forehead hair.
"A'ru is very powerful. My sister and your sister from the Qian family are not as good as you."
Xue Ru's face turned redder, but her eyes were sparkling and beautiful.
Hang Li, who was following behind, saw that the little girl was so happy after being praised a few times. He couldn't help but frowned, and suddenly felt that it was too easy for him to just break the leg of the third son of the Song family.
When someone came over, Tang Ning pulled Qian Qiyue, and Qian Qiyue took Tang Ning's hand.
"Let's go over there in a moment. There is also a needle-throwing skill test, which is to throw the needle into the water and look at the reflection when the needle floats up. Last year, someone threw a rabbit. There are also scissors and flowers. Let's Go try it out and see what you can throw..."
"boom!"
Before Qian Qiyue finished speaking, she heard a sudden loud noise from the crowd not far away, like the sound of firecrackers falling to the ground. The sudden fire and sound scared the people around them to scream. It was originally bustling and crowded. The crowd instantly became chaotic.
Tangning was not prepared for the sudden chaos. She and Qian Qiyue were hit and staggered forward. When she reached out to grab Xue Ru, she saw that Xue Ru had been knocked backwards.
