Chapter 100 Is Your Medicine Effective?
It rained for days in a row, and the moisture of the spring rain seemed to penetrate into people's bones.
Early in the morning, Chen Tang sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking a little lazy.
"I haven't been out for many days, and suddenly I have to meet so many people... It's a bit annoying."
Qi Huaijing stood behind her and kissed the top of her head.
"There are many people here today, and some of them have never seen you. Let's let them see you so that others will pay less attention to me."
Bai Lu was helping Chen Tang choose hairpins and rings, and when she saw the two people behaving intimately, she immediately lowered her eyebrows.
Chen Tang put down the sandalwood comb and turned around to scold him.
"Oh, I've never seen someone as shameless as you! There are so many handsome men in the world, why do you have to be obsessed with you? ... It's just me, I haven't seen much of the world, I've only seen my cousin."
Qi Huaijing nodded deeply.
"I know. My wife praised me as a handsome man."
"Bah, you really are..."
After her hair was done, Bai Lu picked out a pearl flower, which was the most fashionable style in the capital, and handed it to Chen Tang for her to take a look.
"I see that it's a rare sunny day today, so it's a good idea for you to go out for a walk, just to relieve your boredom."
Today is the engagement party for the eldest daughter of the Yue family. Most of the people coming and going are from the Yue family, but Chen Tang hasn't taken the initiative to talk to Old Man Yue for a long time...
In this world, if there is someone who can smile happily at the person who is matchmaking for her husband, it is really admirable.
She picked up the pearl flower from Bai Lu's hand, tried it in front of the mirror, and nodded.
"Okay. After this, we'll go back to Guangling. I haven't seen Li'er for a long time. Every time I see Xixi, I miss her... and Huaping, and Fengxi, and Azhen..."
Qi Huaijing took the pearl flower and pinned it in her hair, then seeing the person in the mirror looking a little lazy, he changed his mind.
"Forget it, you better not go! Stay in the yard and sleep. I'll go out for a walk and come back to accompany you."
Chen Tang looked at her finished hair and makeup in the diamond-shaped mirror.
"It's okay. It's been raining for days, and I've been idle for a few days. I've been sitting and writing for a long time, and my arms and legs are a little sore. I'll go out for a walk today, just to relieve my fatigue. After all..."
After all, the sooner Miss Yue can get married, the more relieved she will feel.
Qi Huaijing was silent for a moment, nodded, and gave another reminder.
"Okay. Just go take a quick look around, handle the situation, and come back early."
Shen Tang agreed casually.
Just as April began, the sky cleared up after a long period of rain, and there was another happy event in Yue Prefecture. Naturally, everything was new, with flowers in bloom, and beautiful people in fragrant clothes and pearls and jadeite around.
At the wedding of the engagement ceremony, both the host and the guests were very happy, men and women sat at separate tables, and the sound of music filled the ears.
Chen Tang sat below Madam Du, next to Cheng Xinyu.
Cheng Xinyu was extremely happy today and had a good alcohol tolerance. If it weren't for Mrs. Du being there and Xixi being beside her, she would have wanted to play finger-guessing games with Shen Tang.
Unfortunately, Chen Tang didn't know how to play finger-guessing games, and wasn't in a very good mood. Even though the golden cup was filled with amber wine, he only drank half of it and put it down.
While drinking, she turned her head and spoke to Bai Lu behind her.
"I want to go out for a walk."
Bai Lu nodded and helped her stand up. After Chen Tang explained the situation to Madam Du and her aunt, the master and servant left the banquet hall together.
Outside the hall, the spring breeze was gentle and the sun was shining brightly, illuminating Chen Tang's rose-colored satin skirt.
"Today there are too many people, and the weather is hot, so the house is a bit suffocating. Even the sweet wine on the table doesn't taste as refreshing as before..."
Bai Lu agreed casually, but she was actually absent-minded and unconsciously tightened the laces of her green skirt.
Before the banquet started, a little maid had come to her and asked her to take Chen Tang to Feixia Pavilion and then... have a cup of tea.
When she spoke, Bai Lu tried her best to suppress the tension in her throat.
"It's always a bit depressing when the sun clears up after the rain. Third Grandma, why don't we go... go to Feixia Pavilion and take a walk."
Feixia Pavilion is located by the lake, surrounded by water on three sides and with corridors on four sides. Thousands of red fish are raised underneath. The aunts of the Yue family once took Chen Tang there to feed the fish and go fishing.
Shen Tang nodded.
"That's good. The water is wide and it's a good place to relax."
In another attic, Yue Lingshu stood at the window on the second floor, looking at two figures, one in blue and one in red, from afar, slowly walking towards the lake.
As the eldest brother and the biological mother were not at home, Mr. Yue and Mrs. Du personally came forward and performed the engagement ceremony with Duan's parents to arrange the marriage for their granddaughter.
She withdrew her gaze and turned to Yue Liuer beside her.
"Has the medicine been administered?"
"Yes, don't worry, sister. It's in the tea tray of Feixia Pavilion. It's colorless and odorless, and it's the same kind we used to use."
"If you leave it out for too long, I'm afraid the drug won't be effective. Have you tried it on cats and dogs?"
"I tried it. I remember everything my sister taught me."
Yue Lingshu was satisfied and nodded.
"Remember, after they enter Feixia Pavilion, a man will go in a quarter of an hour later... After another quarter of an hour, you should start looking for people to watch. The more the better! It would be best to find a few aunts and grandmothers, the elders. They will understand at a glance, and when you mention it to others in the future, you can tell it more excitingly."
Yue Liuer nodded repeatedly and couldn't help swallowing.
In the past, this kind of medicine was most often used by them to play tricks on cats, dogs and maids, and it had also embarrassed a few sisters who were not sociable... But this was the first time they had done something so real, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Sister Shu, why don't you...you stay and watch too, it must be very lively. I, I'm a little..."
Yue Lingshu was so disappointed with her that he poked her hard on the forehead.
"No! Today is my engagement day, how can I show up so easily? I'll leave this matter to you. If you can't do it... it will be your turn next time!"
Yue Liu'er became even more panicked. She nodded repeatedly and watched Yue Lingshu leave. She then looked at the green and red shadows in the distance again, calming her mind and calculating the time.
In the corridor of Feixia Pavilion, the two green and red figures were walking around, apparently feeding fish.
They fed the baby for a long time, and Yue Liuer became a little impatient, so they went into the pavilion.
A quarter of an hour later, a man in purple robe really entered Feixia Pavilion, but she couldn't see clearly who he was.
Yue Liuer's palms were sweating with nervousness. She thought it was almost time, so she hurried downstairs and happened to meet a few familiar cousins. She immediately pulled them to the lake.
"Come on, come on, the weather is so nice, let's go to the lake and feed the fish."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and walked hand in hand towards the lake, chatting and laughing as they walked through the flowers and willows.
Yue Liuer had no intention of joking with others.
She was thinking that she had only invited these sisters, which was not quite what Sister Shu wanted. If she got angry, she would turn against her like she did before...
She changed her mind and realized that she would be marrying Huang's brother soon anyway. Could she really go to the Huang family to take revenge on herself?
She couldn't help but urge everyone.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we'll be at Feixia Pavilion soon! The fish are waiting!"
