Chapter 12 Dormant
Chapter 12 Dormant
"Xiao Qier."
The voice behind him whispered again, Xiao Jin helplessly adjusted his expression, shrunk his shoulders and lowered his head slightly, and turned around.
"Eldest Young Master Wen." He lowered his head and looked at Wen Yelan's white shoes, his eyes moved up a bit, looking at Young Master Wen's straight legs, Xiao Jin couldn't help sighing at the preference of heaven.
Wen Yelan was really surprised to see Xiao Jin here in Shuxiang Pavilion. He frowned slightly, staring at the timid Xiao Qier in front of him, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
"Buy books?" Wen Yelan's voice still had the clarity of a teenager, but in the clarity there was his unique clarity, which was very pleasant to the ear.
Xiao Jin didn't raise his head, but with his hands stirring his sleeves, he stammered and whispered: "Yes... yes... big... young..."
Mei Xiang, who was standing behind Wen Yelan, glanced at Xiao Jin, shook her head, and turned her gaze back to her master.
Wen Yelan took two steps forward, shifted his gaze to the bookshelf beside Xiao Jin, reached out and took down the history book of Zhu Song Dynasty that Xiao Jin touched just now.
Xiao Jin didn't expect that Wen Yelan would suddenly approach him, and a faint scent of peonies lingered at the tip of his nose.
"This book is pretty good." Wen Yelan glanced at the title of the book and handed the history book to Xiao Qier. Seeing that he was still dumbfounded, he sighed softly, "Go back, let Fang Fu read it." It won't be good."
"Thank you...Young Master..." Xiao Jin shook the book in his hand, nodded, took out a copper coin from his belt, stuffed it into Wen Yelan's hand, and walked out of Shuxiang Pavilion.
"Master, this is..." Mei Xiang stared at a copper coin lying quietly in Wen Yelan's hand, and asked suspiciously.
Wen Yelan looked down at the copper coins in his hand for a while, then chuckled, he stared sideways at the back of someone who had already run away, and said, "This Xiao Qier has become more interesting."
After Xiao Jin ran a long distance, the fluster and cowardice that was pretending on his face faded away, and a gleam of light flashed in his black eyes.Interesting, really interesting.
Xiao Jin didn't want to buy books, nor did he think that he would meet Wen Yelan.Wen Yelan must have seen that he had no money, so he "kindly" "given" his book. As long as Xiao Jin accepted his book, he already owed the other party a favor.
This Wen Yelan is not only good-looking, but also very good at maximizing his own interests.You come and go, the thrill of meeting your opponent makes Xiao Jin feel competitive.
Xiao Jin didn't know if Wen Yelan saw anything, but this kind of small mutual testing was extremely interesting.Xiao Jin raised the book in his hand, and said with a smile, um, it is not a loss to exchange a copper coin from Fang Fu for a book, it is really a profit.
Xiao Jin stood by the side of the street, tapped his finger on the side of his thigh, smiled in a low voice, and decided to follow Wen Yelan's words and go back to Qingxiang Inn directly.Although Xiao Jin was sure that Fang Fu would not find him, but Wen Yelan kindly reminded him, Xiao Jin was willing to accept it.
Xiao Jin was walking along the street towards Qingxiang Inn. At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes behind him. Xiao Jin just glanced sideways, and saw a luxuriously decorated carriage whizzing past him.
Xiao Jin looked intently, and out of the corner of his eye, he only caught a glimpse of the face of a delicate young girl under the curtain blown by the wind behind the carriage.He frowned slightly. Although he had just glanced at the girl in the carriage just now, he always felt that the girl's facial features were somewhat familiar.
Just as Xiao Jin was about to think carefully, an old woman selling vegetables behind her complained in a low voice.
"The eldest daughter of the Wen family really doesn't look like a lady."
The eldest daughter of the Wen family?The corner of Xiao Jin's mouth hooked slightly.
No wonder... the girl on the carriage does look a bit like Mrs. Wen.
Xiao Jin shook his head mockingly. As a modern person, he knew that in ancient times, women should be educated and reasonable, dignified and elegant were the most important things, and being too ostentatious might not necessarily be a good thing.
Wen Ziyao's current behavior may have already fallen into the eyes of everyone in the capital.
Mrs. Wen puts too much emphasis on fame and rights, but she doesn't know that this is the easiest way to stumble, and her daughter is bound to have no good results in the future.
But what does all this have to do with him?Xiao Jin never thought of himself as a benevolent person.
Xiao Jin raised his foot and continued to walk forward.
Wen Ziyao was smiling, and her fingers gently stroked the steady and regular handwriting on the letter paper on her lap.
The maid Rong Xiang sitting next to her looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss, if the First Prince knows that you like his letters so much, he will be very happy."
Two blushes appeared on Wen Ziyao's face, she stretched out her hand to pat Rong Xiang, and said angrily, "Rong Xiang, who taught you to say such... irritating things."
"Miss, Rong Xiang is talking too much." Rong Xiang covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
Wen Ziyao glared at her pretending to be angry, then turned her gaze back to the letter paper, and asked in a whisper, "Rong Xiang, do you think the First Prince... likes me?"
That day she tamed Ben Hongchi in front of the First Prince and the others, and two days later the First Prince sent someone to deliver this letter.There was only a paragraph in the letter, to the effect that she admired her equestrian skills, and asked her to ride horses together at Yunhai Racecourse today.
Wen Guowen was furious after knowing that she went to the racecourse last time. He felt that it would be embarrassing for Wen Ziyao to go to the racecourse where men gather to show his face. He ignored Wen Pangshi's dissuasion and directly Let the servants press Wen Ziyao back to the room to contemplate behind closed doors.
Wen Ziyao felt angry and wronged by Wen Guowen's treatment.What happened to the woman?Women can ride and tame horses just like men!
Wen Ziyao was so angry that she threw the things in the room to pieces.Wen Pangshi also felt that Wen Guowen's approach was a little too much. It was a good opportunity for Wen Ziyao to go to Yunhai Racecourse to get to know the eldest prince. This is a good thing for their Wen family to climb into the royal family!Although Wen Ziyao was not as good-looking as Wen Yelan, she was still as beautiful as a flower. How many men could resist their beauty?
Wen Pangshi did not oppose Wen Guowen openly, but secretly withdrew the servants and servants guarding Wen Ziyao's room.
When Wen Ziyao thought of being locked up in the room by his father for two days, the expression on his face became gloomy and ugly, and he became more and more displeased with his father in his heart.
She folded the letter paper carefully, smiled and said to Rong Xiang: "Rong Xiang is really thanks to you this time." If Rong Xiang hadn't sent her this letter, today's agreement with the eldest prince might have been missed .
Rong Xiang shook her head and said softly, "This is what Rong Xiang should do."
Rong Xiang lowered her head slightly, her face was ferocious for a moment, she clenched her fingers tightly in her sleeves and then released them, she raised her head and frowned at Wen Ziyao.
Wen Ziyao put the letter paper into the red carved lacquer wooden box, stroked the uneven surface of the box with her fingers, her eyes darkened.
Today's matter is really thanks to Rong Xiang.
If it wasn't for Rong Xiang who just went out to buy things, she would have missed the person sent by the first prince to deliver the letter.She really didn't expect that her father would not even give the eldest prince face, and even shut out the eldest prince's servant.
Doesn't father really want her to be a princess?
No, of course my father hoped that the Wen family could have a relationship with the royal family, but that person didn't necessarily have to be her, Wen Ziyao.When Wen Ziyao thought of Wen Ziying, who was born in the concubine that Wen Guowen loved so much, his heart flashed with ruthlessness.
She would never let Wen Ziying take away everything that belonged to her.She and her mother were able to take away one Wen Yelan, and they were sure to take away another Wen Ziying!
From the corner of Rong Xiang's eyes, she saw Wen Ziyao's gnashing of teeth, and the slight arc of the corners of her mouth disappeared in an instant.
The carriage drove slowly to Yunhai Racecourse.Rong Xiang helped Wen Ziyao out of the carriage, and the two quickly entered the racecourse.
Daqing stood in the corner watching their figures silently, and said to the big man behind him, "Go in."
The tall man standing behind Daqing responded in a low voice, then turned and walked into the alley. The end of the alley was cut to the back door of Yunhai Racecourse.
If Wen Ziyao were here now, he would immediately recognize this tall man as the boy who pulled Ben Hongchi and advised her not to get on the horse.
After Wen Ziyao entered the racecourse, he immediately saw Song Mochen running in Zhao Yebai.After five laps, Song Mochen drove the horse back to the entrance slowly.Seeing that he was about to dismount, Wen Ziyao wanted to step up, but Rong Xiang held his hand.
"Rong Xiang?" Wen Ziyao stared at Rong Xiang with some displeasure.
Rong Xiang approached Wen Ziyao and said softly: "Miss, you see that the eldest prince is surrounded by men now, and you are always a woman. If you go up rashly like this, I'm afraid you will lose the eldest prince's face."
Although Wen Ziyao felt that Rong Xiang's words were a bit far-fetched, but after thinking about it, it was really not a good thing for her daughter to rush to find Song Mochen.
Seeing that she gave up the idea of going forward, Rong Xiang continued: "Miss, think about it, didn't the eldest prince mention in his letter that he admired your equestrian skills? Why don't you perform again today, maybe the eldest prince will be happy?"
Wen Ziyao thought about it, and felt that what Rong Xiang said was very true.She raised the corners of her mouth, and turned her head just in time to see the boy from the racecourse leading the horse Ben Hongchi out, with a brighter smile on her face.
It's just a mere horsemanship, can it still stump her?Although I still have some palpitations about the experience of riding a horse last time, the eldest prince likes it. She tamed the Xianglin horse last time, and this time she can still do it!
Seeing her high self-esteem, Rong Xiang's smile grew stronger.
Everyone will be vigilant about the things they try for the first time, but after trying something two or three times, the vigilance of the other party will slowly disappear.As long as the opponent is completely relaxed at the moment, the opponent will surely be able to catch him and achieve his goal.
This is what Wen Yelan learned from Wen Pang's people in his previous life. In this life, he will hide in one place like a bug hibernating, waiting for the right opportunity to give them all back!
