Lady Zhao

Chapter 17

The melody was coming to an end, but the sudden sound of plucking the strings seemed like something was accidentally knocked by the wine cup. At the banquet, everyone's attention was mostly on Zhao Yuanli, and they didn't pay attention to it.Thanks to her strong psychological quality, Zhao Wenwan waited quietly for a while, and then took a curtain call under the light gauze, and slowly walked out of the pavilion and exited along the long corridor. Everyone only saw a man in a fine brocade dress from a distance. A tall and slender girl in a pink dress, charming and graceful.

Zhao Wenwan's steps became faster and faster after leaving everyone's sight. Unstoppable applause could be heard behind her. She couldn't help but lifted her skirt and began to trot, and the pearls on the embroidered shoes trembled slightly.

The hidden place in the rockery parallel to the temporary high platform was pitch black at the moment. Zhao Wenwan took a closer look under the moonlight, and his heart was half cold. The technician she invited was gone.

The surrounding pianos are still well placed on the table, but the wooden pier for people to sit on is overturned to one side.

Zhao Wenwan frowned and breathed slightly, who could it be that found the luthier and got him away?My mind was spinning quickly, the complicated eyes of Mrs. Ye on the table who had been keeping her eyes on, Aunt Xia's jealous and resentful look, and Mrs. Xu's third room staring at him as if nothing... I flicked through it over and over again, and my heart became more uncertain. .

"Miss Zhao is also lost?" A cold voice came faintly, and a tall figure gradually appeared in the dark.

Zhao Wenwan, who was suddenly startled by the sound, looked warily in the direction of the sound, only to realize that there was someone standing there at some point or for how long.Through the luxuriant branches and leaves, the sparse moonlight shone on his face, and on his body, the half-toothed moon shone with the waves of the lake in the night, reflecting the beauty and elegance of that person like a beautiful jade.

When Zhao Wenwan was staring at him, he was also looking at Zhao Wenwan, with a pair of dark and deep eyes, unable to detect emotions.

Dazed for a moment, she heard a slight sneer, and Zhao Wenwan blushed suddenly, because Zhao Wenwan had already recognized that person, he was the son of the current Grand Tutor, and he was even more handsome than the portrait. The choice of golden thighs is quite good, but I didn't know that when the servant brought the portrait for him, he accidentally confused the two.

"Young Master Feng, follow the path on the left and go right to the banquet place."

The tall man raised his eyebrows unexpectedly when he heard the address, and when he looked carefully at Zhao Wenwan, he became a little more inquisitive, but seeing her clear eyes, it was obvious that he didn't realize that he had misidentified the person, so... it's interesting up.I don't know myself, but my obsession is known to everyone. Is it possible that he is coveting the position of princess?But remembering that this person later disliked his own portrait in every possible way, he had another thought in his heart.

Gu Jingxing took advantage of the opportunity to conceal his identity, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a meaningful arc, "It's a beautiful day, just drinking, wouldn't it be disappointing, just now I saw Miss's piano skills, I'm still full of ideas, who would have guessed that there is also a piano here, I wonder if Feng has one? Is it an honor to listen to Miss play again?"

Zhao Wenwan didn't remember his business until he reminded him, his expression was slightly tense, and he asked tentatively, "I don't know who left this piano here, did Mr. Feng see it?"

Looking at her appearance, Gu Jingxing felt more wickedness in his heart, but said more honestly on his face, "No, I thought it was Miss who likes to play the piano, even places like rockery."

"Hehehe..." Zhao Wenwan smiled awkwardly, thinking about the whereabouts of the luthier in his heart, and met Feng Yuxiu's expectant eyes. It's not suitable...isn't it?"

After hearing this, Gu Jingxing sneered slightly, took two steps forward, and approached Zhao Wenwan, his deep and hoarse voice was like a whisper, "I'm glad I got a good opportunity."

Zhao Wenwan stared blankly, as if bewitched, his ears were on fire, and he had the idea that he didn't want to disappoint this person.And when the latter saw the obsessive look on her face, he pulled away without a trace, and a slight mockery flashed across her face in the dark.

Unaware of it, Zhao Wenwan is still immersed in the temptation of the beauty of the golden thighs in the future. The son of the Tai Tuo, gentle and elegant, romantic, and the vow of a couple for a lifetime made the ladies of the Beijing and middle families flock to it, and it is very in line with Zhao Wenwan's criteria for choosing a spouse .Thinking of this, Zhao Wenwan once again looked at 'Feng Yuxiu' with a trace of fanaticism in his eyes, and made up his mind to hug this thick golden thigh!
When Gu Jingxing bumped into that anxious gaze, he actually felt that there was some incomprehensible light shining in her black eyes, and he felt panicked. When he thought about this attitude, he was rushing towards Feng Yuxiu, and his heart was even more inexplicable. Unhappy, I also forgot that it was the person I hooked up with first, and after the other party gave a response, I found an excuse to go back to the banquet.

"..." Zhao Wenwan didn't look away regretfully until the back figure disappeared. The time spent alone can cultivate feelings!
Gu Jingxing returned to the table with a sullen complexion, full of aggrieved feelings of being teased but being almost raped by others with his eyes, which made everyone dare not step forward to provoke him, and finally even the singer and dancer prepared by Zhao Hongsheng didn't even take a look Voila, drink to calm down.

The banquet of the female relatives ended early, and Ye Shi arranged to send those back home, and those who were interested in riding horses also arranged for them to go back together after the men left.

Another ten jars of chilled plum wine were sent to the front yard. After everything was done, Ye Shi was relieved and returned to Shaonian Garden.As soon as he entered the door, he leaned on the soft couch as if he had lost his airs, and recruited two maids to beat him. Mother Zhao came in with a bowl of ginseng tea and lily lotus seed soup.

"Madam is tired all day, drink some ginseng tea to refresh your mind."

Ye Shi opened his eyes, with a tired face, took a few sips of ginseng tea, and said to the maid pinching her leg, "Go and invite the second young master over."

"Yes."

Zhao Yuanjin, who had been completely upstaged by Zhao Yuanli today, was feeling depressed in the room taking something to vent his anger, when he heard Ye's summons, his heart skipped a beat, and he followed the servant girl to Shaonianyuan disgruntled.

As soon as he entered the door, Doutou threw a porcelain bowl at him. Ye Shi didn't really want to smash his son, but he was too angry, but his hands were still a little accurate. Fortunately, Zhao Yuanjin dodged it nimbly, and the porcelain fell to the ground The clear and crisp sound echoed in the room, and Zhao Yuanjin's legs almost went limp in shock, and then he met Ye Shi's eyes full of anger, and called out to his mother.

"How did my mother teach you on weekdays? I hired the best teacher for you, and taught you very strictly. I hope that one day you will be better than that sick man. But look at today, the limelight is all over that useless brother and sister. After that person got sick, it's not like you don't know how much your father valued you, but after today, which one do you think your father would value more!" Mrs. Ye was really anxious, and Aunt Xia troubled her all day. I can bear it, but I can't bear my child being compared to that person's children, and I am more worried about the future...

"Mother, you can't blame me for this matter..." Zhao Yuanjin subconsciously shied away, and was slapped severely by Mrs. Ye.

"I don't blame you? If you usually work harder and spend less time on useless things, why are you making such a fool of yourself today!" Mrs. Ye trembled, her eyes were scarlet, "I transferred the maid in your yard. , you just look for it outside, the people with you are all cronies, it seems that they brought you, even dare to do the thing of buying test questions, you are really... really maddened!"

Zhao's mother quickly supported Mrs. Ye, and interceded, "Master Jin is just playing for a while, and after learning the lesson, he will not dare to do this next time. Madam, don't be so angry."

"Yeah, mother, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again next time!" Zhao Yuanjin, who was stunned, came back to his senses, seeing his mother panicked like this, and promised again and again.

Ye Shi took a sip of ginseng tea, calmed down a little, and his eyes fell on Zhao Yuanjin, showing a touch of weakness.If Zhao Yuanli was in his heyday, Jin'er would never have a chance, but now Zhao Yuanli is almost useless, as long as Jin'er makes no mistakes and works hard, then the master's title, expectations, and love will all fall on him. How could the child not understand her painstaking efforts!

And Zhao Yuanli appeared in front of everyone today, needless to say, it must have been the handiwork of that lowly girl... Thinking of how everyone praised those two at the banquet, Mrs. Ye promised on the face, but in private he tore the veil in his hand, Those voices sounded more like mocking the children she taught for being inferior to others.

She is the mistress of the Zhao family, but what about the future... Ye Shi felt a chill in her heart, and was stuck in her own thoughts for a long time.Mother Zhao helped Zhao Yuanjin up, sighed, "Your mother is anxious for you today, Zhao Yuanli is cunning and insidious, Zhao Wenwan is arrogant and domineering, if the two of them gain power, life may not be easy for your mother and your sister, young master You should also take care of them."

"Well, Yuan Jin understands." Zhao Yuanjin responded, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet his mother's tear-filled eyes, and the pressure suddenly increased in his heart.
