Chapter 561 A Man’s Reason to Retreat
The little maiden led the order to head over to Xie Qingzhao’s position.
Ming Yan still watched from afar, Xie Qingzhao’s side kept drinking, she was really worried on!
The banquet has begun, there are many people coming and going, the girl ring who took the sobering up medicine only turned a small corner, she almost bumped into another girl ring, fortunately that girl ring was quick and pulled her back, so she didn’t fall down, and after saying thank you to the opposite girl ring, the little girl ring went towards Xie Qingzhao’s side again.
“Lord Xie, this is medicine to sober up.” The maiden walked over and respectfully said.
Xie Qingzhao is being around before the same tease pestered no way, and a few cups down, this has really not too line, heard the girl ring in the hands of the sobering medicine, busy took want to drink a few mouths directly.
He will drink a little too much, did not control the movement, a rip, actually from the hands of the maid fell another thing out.
Xie Qingzhao himself didn’t care, and the little maid who sent the sobering medicine also looked at the pad that fell out of her sleeve in confusion, not knowing when she would have such a piece of pad in her sleeve.
Early there is a quick reaction a hand to receive, to be able to see clearly above the handwriting for the slender woman’s handwriting, can not help but loudly teased up, “Xie Ta-Jen, you are not willing to say in the heart of which is a woman, see how long it is only a matter of time, the people will be you wrote the poem mentioned on the paddles.”
“Let me see, let me see!” This pad was grabbed by another person, after reading with a big smile, also with a smug expression, “Lord Xie, this is clear evidence ah, yesterday so late still night meeting beauty, and even left that poem, we also only know today, I can’t imagine that this beauty, yesterday night has been informed, look at this handwriting, writing will not be short ah! ”
“What … is this?” Drinking wine, Xie Qingzhao’s brain reaction is a little slow and blunt, this will not remember what it is.
“What is this …? This is of course a private message between you and that fine lady, come on, tell us who sent you to deliver the sobering medicine, which lady is so concerned about Lord Xie?” Someone himself turned to the little maid with a smile.
The little girl ring to now also did not understand what is the matter, blinked, reached out and pointed to stand over there has been concerned about this side of the Ming Yan said, “is the fourth miss side of the Ming Yan sister let me send, can … can this pad is not mine!”
The little maid consciously cleared the way, she actually wanted to say that the wine was sent to her by Ming Yan, but the paddle did not know whose it was, and the main thing was to say that it was not hers.
However, these two sentences put together, it was easy for people to misunderstand that it was Ming Yan who had asked her to send this paddle over.
“Of course it’s not yours, you’re a rough maid would write such beautiful characters, such beautiful characters, you can’t practice them without a few years, Fourth Miss? Fourth Miss Wei? So Lord Xie’s sweetheart is Fourth Miss Wei!”
We are all young people, and drink more wine, this will not be so scrupulous, some people laugh openly.
Their side of the voice is loud, a time to attract many people side-eye, but also heard that Xie Qingzhao side of the pad is Huayang Marquis House of the Wei four miss, a time secretly frowned, this can be really corrupted the wind of the matter.
This Fourth Miss Wei will soon enter the East Palace, how can she still be involved with other men, this Fourth Miss Wei is not looking for death, how important is the reputation of the Royal Family.
I heard that the Fourth Miss Wei disappeared for a long time last night, could it be related to Xie Qingzhao?
“What is it?” Their side of the commotion is too big, so that the dowager lady also found out, asked the side of the Grandma Hong, Grandma Hong sent a small maid to inquire, not long hurriedly came over to report to Grandma Hong, Grandma Hong face changed, rushed forward to the dowager lady whispered.
Hearing this Mrs. gas chest pain, last night Wei Qiu Fu’s excuses, Mrs. is actually suspected, which raised his eyes to see Wei Qiu Fu around the personal maid ring Ming Yan, which will be a face of concern to stand on the side, watching Xie Qingzhao, gas hand slap chair rail.
“Fu girl, how come you don’t have a waiter by your side!” Wei Qiufu this will also hear the commotion, turned his head to look at the absence of Ming Yan, was about to look for someone, listening to Mrs. Tai said so, busy with a smile to explain, “Grandmother, I let Ming Yan go to fetch something, a moment to come back.”
Ming Yan, because she was afraid that people would see her, purposely avoided going to a corner on one side, Wei Qiufu swept a little and didn’t find it at all.
“You sent her to fetch something?” The dowager lady’s face grew more and more sullen.
“Is … grandmother can have what is wrong?” Wei Qiufu this will also feel bad, but do not feel that they have something wrong, busy.
“Go, pull that bitchy girl over!” The dowager lady was furious, reaching out to point at Ming Yan in the corner, “Not serving your own master, but hiding on the side to watch the show.”
In front of so many people, of course the Dowager Lady couldn’t say anything.
Wei Qiufu’s heart skipped a beat and turned around sharply, just in time to see Ming Yan on the side, then looking in the direction of her concern, her face suddenly turned white.
The past two roughly made grannies, to Ming Yan, directly pulled the person over.
Has been concerned about Xie Qingzhao side of the Ming Yan still do not know what happened, this will be directly pulled over, kneeling in front of the Taifu in front of, still a blank face.
“Men, pull this bitchy girl down and give her ten heavy beatings!” The dowager lady snapped.
Wei Yuewu on the high platform at this time crossed the last note, the sound of the zither stopped, the words of the dowager lady appeared particularly clear, for a time, the whole audience were all shocked, have to look at this side.
“Mrs. Tai, slave girl …” Ming Yan still have to say something more, but saw Wei Qiufu made a wink, busy with tears to shut his mouth, the bigger this occasion makes a scene, the less good it is for himself.
The two grannies pulled Ming Yan out.
“Grandmother … Ming Yan although the service is not good, but … is also Fu’er discipline inappropriate, please grandmother look at Fu’er’s sake, spare Ming Yan this time it!” Wei Qiufu still do not know Xie Qingzhao side of the matter, but also thought that is the dowager lady to see Ming Yan has been to the men’s side of the table looking, unhappy before disposing of Ming Yan.
“She’s a maid not good enough to be born to serve by your side, but she goes to meddle in other idle matters, shouldn’t she be beaten!” The dowager lady snapped, waving her hand, “You don’t have to say much either.”
“Yes!” Seeing how cold and stern the Dowager Lady was, Wei Qiufu had to retreat to the side.
Wei Yuewu on the stage has finished her performance, came down the stage, Jinling busy in the side to help her a hand, by the way, the party gently reported the matter of her.
Wei Yuewu raised her eyes and looked at Xie Qing Zhao’s side, because the music had stopped, the few young Hanlin over there, didn’t dare to make any more noise, surrounded by all the officials with a higher status than them, a few of them with a small character, where would they dare to make a scene.
There were also people who remembered that this Fourth Miss Wei was going to enter the Eastern Palace and shut up in a frightened hurry.
That piece of paddle was now casually thrown at the bottom of Xie Qingzhao’s feet.
Drinking a little too much Xie Qingzhao but did not react, lowered his head and picked up the piece of pad, take a closer look, actually really is his own verses.
The names of these verses were still the ones Wei Qiufu had asked herself to write last night, so how did this appear here?
After reading the words on this handkerchief, Xie Qingzhao couldn’t help but look in Wei Qiufu’s direction.
His actions here were in the eyes of the dowager lady, angry dowager lady’s face is going green, and what makes her even more furious is that this Ta-Jen Xie actually just slowly put the paddle into his own cuffs, as if nothing had happened.
Doing it so obviously and thinking that no one knows, the face of the Dowager Lady would be green and red, after which she looked at Wei Qiufu gloomily.
Along with the gaze of the crowd, Wei Qiufu also saw Xie Qingzhao’s movements, although she did not clearly see the words on the piece of pajama, but that piece of pajama is familiar to her, shocked face, this … how this pajama will be in the hands of Xie Qingzhao? Before the big brother with a group of people, obviously no Xie Qingzhao.
She leapt to her feet and was about to explain.
Wei Yuewu came slowly, “Grandmother, what’s wrong with you, could it be that Dancer’s zither isn’t playing well? Today is a big day, grandmother must not be angry because of a maiden, left is just a maiden nosy!”
Wei Yuewu softly advised, pushing the matter all on Ming Yan, as if she was helping Wei Qiufu, but leaving Wei Qiufu with no words to defend herself, opening her mouth and finding that not a single word could be said.
“Li, continue!” The dowager lady also understood that this was the time to deal with things, and slowed down her anger, saying angrily.
“Good, then let’s draw lots to perform, since there are quite a few young ladies and gentlemen here today, please draw five or into fifteen, twenty-five, thirty-five to go up and perform, we all want to have a lively time on New Year’s Day, not counting anything, just have fun!”
Li’s still very have three or two, this will have set up the game, heard the wife so say, clapped his hands, a maid smilingly holding a sign box for the ladies to draw first.
The scene was buzzing again for a while, and it was as if the wind had just passed through.
It was as if it was really just a small malfunction caused by a maid who didn’t serve her master well and ran off to watch the fun herself.
Wei Qiu Fu still sat beside the Dowager Lady, accompanied by a smile, just how to look at this smile is a bit stiff, those who sit around her miss, madam, although explicitly did not say anything, but one by one with a few points of ridicule to observe her, which makes her as if she is sitting on pins and needles, the hand of the pads are almost to be rubbed to shreds.
Slanting a glance at Wei Yue Ma sitting beside himself, he secretly gritted his teeth, needless to say this matter was bound to have something to do with Wei Yue Ma.
The original piece of the pad is their own calculations Wei Yuewu reputation, but I can not imagine that now fall into their own head, and because Wei Yuewu to push things to Ming Yan, their own this will be the desire to defend incompetent.
“Grandmother, I … want to go see Ming Yan. She … is my maid after all.” Seeing that the attention of the crowd was not all on herself, Wei Qiufu stood up and softly pleaded, no, she must go to remedy the situation.
“Hmph!” The dowager lady gave her a cold, sidelong glance.
“Grandmother … Fu’er … Fu’er will definitely prove it to you!” Wei Qiufu clenched her teeth and dragged out the previous incident as well, “Fu’er will go and investigate this matter right now, so many things happened at Sixth Sister’s banquet today, it’s clear that someone is intentionally framing our Huayang Marquis House.”
She’s going to remedy the situation, she needs a reason to back out …
