Chapter 43: Wipe your saliva (5th update to ask for monthly tickets)
The tea soaked on the polished stone surface, and when the wind blew, the traces gradually faded away.
Chang Suining's eyes moved slightly.
"Mrs. Chang, with such an expression..." Wei Shuyi looked at her and asked curiously, "Could it be that you have already guessed it?"
"Minister Wei, you are too kind." The girl said in a flat voice, "I know nothing about officialdom."
Wei Shuyi nodded: "That's what I think."
After a slight pause, he smiled with an ambiguous tone and asked, "But, Wei is still curious, why does Madam Chang want to inquire about this matter that she knows nothing about and is not interested in?"
Chang Suining looked at this talkative man and said frankly but not completely frankly: "It's a private matter."
She asked this question because she thought that the job Wei Shuyi was doing might be related to what happened to Ah Li.
Secondly, she was just waiting for the fish to bite, and he suddenly showed up and startled the fish. It would not be in her habit to not ask for some compensation.
Hearing her say the word "private matter", Wei Shuyi revealed just the right amount of disappointment: "In that case... I don't think it would be appropriate for me to ask any more questions."
Chang Suining: “Yes.”
Wei Shuyi couldn't help but laugh and sigh.
It's very strange that he, who is so good at setting traps, keeps shooting himself in the foot in front of this little girl.
"Don't worry, Minister Wei, I will keep it a secret." Chang Suining promised.
Wei Shuyi smiled and nodded: "Okay, my official reputation and future are in the hands of Madam Chang."
The girl nodded slightly: "Okay."
Wei Shuyi laughed twice again.
There was a gentle breeze, and the fish in the pond were chasing each other, swinging their tails and creating ripples.
"Madam Chang, please try the Wei family's snacks to see if they suit your taste."
"Thank you, Minister Wei." Chang Suining took a look at the exquisite pastry and said, "I don't like sweets now."
Wei Shuyi suddenly realized: "Why don't I ask Changji to tell the kitchen to prepare some braised beef and roast duck?"
Chang Suining: "...That's not necessary."
"Then try the tea." Wei Shuyi pushed the clean cup towards her with a smile, and casually mentioned Chang Kuo's triumphant return.
Chang Suining slowly drank half a cup of tea, but saw that the person in front of him was still talking nonstop and had no intention of leaving.
This place was originally secluded, but perhaps because Wei Shuyi's arrival attracted people's attention, Chang Suining heard a rustling sound and saw a few young ladies hiding behind the bamboo forest, quietly looking over here.
"Look, it's really Minister Wei!"
“I see, I see…”
The young girls' voices were low but full of excitement.
Upon seeing this, Chang Suining found an excuse to get up, and before more people came to admire Minister Wei's appearance, he left the place with the maid who was waiting not far away.
At this time, the flower show was already halfway through and the atmosphere became more casual. Many young men and women walked across the bridge, reciting poems and chatting in front of the flowers.
A girl's scream pierced the originally harmonious atmosphere: "Ah! Where did the bug come from!"
This sound was like some kind of witchcraft, and all the girls who heard it started screaming.
“There are bugs!”
"ah!"
A group of girls jumped back, all of them looking terrified.
"What a fuss... It's not uncommon to have a bug in a spring garden."
Upon hearing the noise, Wei Miaoqing went forward to check, but the next moment he jumped even higher, almost dying on the spot: "Ahhhh, it's a giant bug!"
She stepped back in fear, closed her eyes tightly and hugged the maid beside her: "There are so many big bugs! Look!"
"Yeah, I saw it." Chang Suining said as he passed by and was caught by her.
Wei Miaoqing suddenly opened his eyes and quickly let her go.
"Don't be afraid." Chang Suining calmly raised his foot and stepped on a large, wriggling green caterpillar. His foot crushed it, and Wei Miaoqing, who was close by, only heard a light "bang" sound, like the sound of an insect's body exploding.
Disgust and shock intertwined on Wei Miaoqing's face.
Chang Suining moved forward again and stepped on another hard-shelled creature to death.
Seeing her kicking people mercilessly, the girls around her were terrified and surprised, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel admiration and emotion in their eyes.
In sight, the man said to them calmly, "Don't be afraid, they are all dead."
At this moment, all the girls felt that the Chang family lady was indescribably tall and majestic, and gave people a complete sense of security - you must know that just when they were frightened and running around, several men also hurriedly avoided them, but they called this, not afraid, but disgusted.
The Chang family lady is the best! Don't be afraid, they are all dead——
What beautiful words!
Love it too much! Yao Xia loves it even more!
"Hurry... have someone clean it up." Wei Miaoqing came back to her senses, looked at the dead insects on the ground, and quickly ordered the maid.
Chang Suining's eyes fell on a master and servant pair in the crowd.
She had just noticed the master and servant who were watching the fun from the dark -
At this moment, the boy's sleeve was bulging, revealing a corner of something hidden inside. It looked like a small bamboo cage, the kind usually used to hold crickets.
Next to the servant was a young man with rosy lips and fair complexion. He wore a lotus root powder silk robe with bamboo pattern and a white jade plum blossom hairpin to tie his hair. He also had a bit of youthful charm.
And this young man was staring at her blankly at this moment.
Chang Suining met that gaze: "Mr. in the pink robe, how old are you now?"
He is still obsessed with such boring tricks as scaring girls with insects.
The young man smiled and bowed quickly, "I'm Cui Lang, I'm seventeen!"
“……”Chang Suining turned and left.
The young ladies were still frightened and did not dare to stay here for long, so they dispersed one after another.
At this time, Cui Tang came over, frowned and asked Cui Lang: "Did you bring those bugs?"
Most of the ladies standing here just now were from the Zheng and Wang families, and they were exactly the ones he wanted to look after on behalf of his elder brother... But what kind of disgusting and stupid ideas were these?
Cui Lang seemed not to have heard what his sister said, and was still staring blankly ahead.
Cui Tang became more and more disgusted: "Brother, please wipe your saliva quickly."
Cui Lang subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his mouth, then came to his senses - nothing was leaking out.
"..." Cui Tang couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"Atang, did you see that...the lady just now was truly extraordinary!" Cui Lang looked inexplicably excited.
Cui Tang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother, please calm down. That lady is not from one of the three great families."
Cui Lang boldly thought: "It's OK to be a concubine..."
"Becoming a concubine, that's a good idea." Cui Tang said, "Then go and discuss it with General Chang in Xingningfang and see if he agrees."
Cui Lang felt a chill on the back of his neck when he heard this: "You mean, this is from General Chang's mansion?!"
"Yes, can you calm down now, brother?"
Cui Lang laughed dryly: "I was just joking, don't take it seriously..."
You must know... General Chang is the only ruthless person in the capital who has beaten his eldest brother! In front, Yao Xia caught up with Chang Suining again, calling her Sister Chang.
"Why don't I see Madam Yao Ran? Didn't she say she was going to the Peony Garden?" Chang Suining asked casually.
"My cousin, she just left with my aunt." Yao Xia explained.
Chang Suining's eyes moved: "Leaving so early..."
…
At this moment, Yao Ran had already boarded the carriage with his mother, Mrs. Pei.
Looking at his mother's expression, Yao Ran hesitated for a long time before he dared to speak: "Mother..."
