Chapter 578: Giving up and Being Pretentious
Chu Qing walked into the pavilion slowly with a boy beside him. When he saw Shao Yanru sitting there, he asked softly: "Miss, can I ask for a cup of tea?"
This was said in a very polite way. A gentle and handsome young man met an elegant and pretty lady by chance. Both his behavior and appearance were extremely decent.
Shao Yanru frowned, she recognized Chu Qing! But he felt that Chu Qing should not appear in front of him at this time. The person Chu Qing should be looking for at this time was Shao Wanru. Could it be that he hadn't found the person yet.
"Shuqi, is there still a cup?" Shao Yanru looked at Chu Qing calmly and said, she also wanted to know what this situation meant!
Shuqi understood and took out another cup from the package he was carrying. He poured a cup of tea and respectfully sent it to Chu Qing. Chu Qing smiled slightly. After taking it, he took two sips before looking at Shao Yanru with a smile, " I don’t know which family this young lady belongs to, but I’m sorry to bother you today. I’ll definitely give you a tea set as a thank you for the tea today!”
This means that he has used Shao Yanru's tea and wants to thank him.
Shao Yanru stood up and bowed sideways: "Young Master, you're too polite. It's just a cup of tea, it's nothing."
"For the lady, it's just a cup of tea, but for me, it's more than just a cup of tea. The lady must give me a chance to thank you!"
Chu Qingxiao became more and more gentle, holding the tea in her hand, but she did not sit across from Shao Yanru politely. Instead, she stayed far away from her, still standing outside the pavilion, looking both polite and well-behaved, which made people feel at ease. From the first glance, you can tell that this is a gentleman who does not bully the dark room. He is a young master with both talent and appearance who was raised by a wealthy family.
Compared to that kind of oily-haired and pink-faced dude who can't walk around when he sees a woman, I don't know how many generations of good ones there have been.
But even so, there was a bit of intimacy in his words. After raising his eyes to look at Shao Yanru, he lowered his head, but there was a slight blush on his face, which made what he said before feel a little more different. What a meaning!
But not annoying!
No young lady from an aristocratic family would hate this kind of reserved but extremely polite behavior. She was so polite that she didn't even step into the pavilion, just for fear of ruining the reputation of the young lady in the pavilion.
"This one is really good at pretending!" Yu Jie couldn't hear the two of them talking, but felt that each of them was better at pretending than the other, so she couldn't help but whisper.
Needless to say, my eldest daughter acts like she is kind, kind, dignified, and meticulous at all times, but in fact she has a dark and poisonous heart, and she will keep a close eye on her whenever she gets the chance. After asking her own young lady to speak, Yu Jie now clearly saw that this young lady's character was probably even darker and more vicious than the previous young lady Qin's.
But this piece of leather looks much kinder, and has a good reputation, which is not comparable to the former Miss Qin!
Shao Wanru smiled slightly at Yu Jie's words without saying a word. He raised his long eyelashes and looked at the pair of people who looked pleasing to the eye through the gap between the trees.
It's a pity that both of them are very scheming, but they have wasted this good show before the flowers and under the moon. Even now, she still doesn't see what the fuss is about!
This should be Prince Qing. Although he was far away yesterday, she saw some of it. Although she didn't recognize it immediately, she thought about it for a moment and relied on that familiar feeling to immediately recognize the person in front of her. He is the newly appointed King of Qing County, and this person is not a kind person!
Shao Yanru wants to hook up with the Qing County Prince? Isn't it really Shao Yanru's original intention to leave the good King Zhou and King Yue alone instead of hooking up with the King Qing, who has no power and no prospects at all?
That was a chance encounter!
However, this chance encounter, coupled with Shao Yanru's meticulous dressing up before, was a bit unjustifiable. His watery eyes slid over Shao Yanru's shabby clothes that were similar to his own, and finally landed on the white jade hairpin on her hair. It actually looked like the one on her head. The white jade hairpin is somewhat similar, and the watery eyes narrowed slightly. This looks really interesting!
"Miss, when did the eldest lady change her hairpin?" Yu Jie also discovered Shao Yanru's hairpin at this time and said in surprise.
"It should have been changed when I went back with Shuqi just now!" Shao Wanru twitched the corners of his lips, smiling with a bit of sarcasm.
When she went out later, Shao Yanru said that she had twisted her foot, and that the two of them went into the forest separately, but they did not notice that the hairpin on her head had been changed!
"The eldest lady is dressed like you today, even the hairpin is the same as yours. Could it be that she is also dating this young man in your capacity?" Yu Jie patted the surface of the stream hard with her hand, angrily road.
Two happy little fish swimming in the creek were frightened and swam away in a panic.
Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat. She was pretending that she and Prince Qing were affectionate. If so, she should go out now to break her mind!
But inexplicably, I felt that this matter was not that simple. Shao Yanru was not a shallow-minded person. How could he expose her plan so easily?
"Let's see again!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said calmly. She was not in a hurry. She wanted to see it to the end rather than act out the drama.
"Our young lady is from Duke Xingguo's mansion. We don't need this tea set. You'd better be polite, young master!" When Shuqi heard Chu Qing's words in the pavilion, he immediately raised his neck and said very proudly.
The name Xingguo Gongfu also represents power in Beijing.
"It turns out she is the young lady from Duke Xingguo's mansion. I am rude. If I have the chance next time, I will definitely thank Miss Shao!" Chu Qing put the tea cup in her hand into the hands of the servant behind her and bowed deeply to Shao Yanru. , Shao Yanru hurriedly stood up to avoid it, and then turned sideways to salute, which was regarded as returning the salute!
"My lord, you are..." Shuqi said in surprise, his eyes widened, and for a moment he seemed so shocked that he couldn't even speak!
One of her maids was frightened, and it was normal for her to make a fuss. But she immediately realized what she had done, and immediately restrained herself from her previous behavior. Following Shao Yanru, she also bowed deeply to Chu Qing. As the personal maid next to a young lady from a wealthy family, Huan, the reaction is natural and appropriate.
The master is likeable, the maid is also polite, and she is also smart.
"Miss Shao, I will not disturb Miss Shao's enjoyment of the scenery. I have used this cup myself, so I will return it to Miss Shao without being rude. I will definitely give Miss Shao a new pair in the future!" Chu Qing said gently, With a smile on his face, he waved his sleeves after speaking, turned around and left in a long stride.
Seeing that he left like this, Shao Yanru's eyes flashed slightly. She still hasn't figured out why Chu Qing appeared in front of her instead of Shao Wanru. She scanned the surroundings and found no whereabouts of Shao Wanru. , his eyes became more and more confused.
But his face didn't show any signs of it, and he suddenly asked: "My lord, could you please inquire, have you seen a woman who looks and dresses similar to me?"
When she opened her mouth, she did not inquire about the identity of the so-called prince, but only cared about other women. If it were known that the person she was asking about was her fifth sister, it would definitely make people think that this is a really good sister. No matter what the circumstances, They will all take care of their sister.
"Oh, I wonder who Miss Shao is looking for?" Chu Qing turned around and asked with a smile.
"She's also my sister. Did you see her when you came here?" Shao Yanru frowned and asked softly. Her eyes were also very beautiful, and the beauty's frown made her even more pitiful. Even though her face is now covered with a gauze scarf, it does not impair her softness.
It's hard for a man to resist, especially when this man had implicitly expressed his goodwill just now, a kind of goodwill that was polite and courteous!
"I haven't seen him. Are you lost? Do you want me to help you find him?" Chu Qing's face showed some concern. Just the right amount of concern can make people feel good.
Shao Wanru looked over from a distance and had to sigh, this pair is really a match for each other. It seems that there is a lot of affection between you and me. Even though they are far apart, there are still two people. It seems to be very polite when people are around, but inexplicably it makes people feel that there is affection between these two people.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty sees her, please ask her to come over here. I'll wait for her here!" Shao Yanru bowed sideways again.
"Okay!" Chu Qing agreed readily, looked at Shao Yanru again, turned around and left with the boy. In the end, he did not say which prince he was.
Although there are not many princes in the capital, and they are all children of the royal family, this king is different from that king. Judging from his age, no one would guess that he is Prince Cheng, and of course no one would guess that he is the sick King Chen. , a self-proclaimed “king” is sometimes a bit more clever than directly naming someone.
Whether it is King Yue or King Zhou, they are much more valuable than his current status!
The two of them, one reluctant to talk and the other pretentious, seemed to match each other very well. Seeing that Prince Qing was also passing by, Shao Wanru pulled Yu Jie to avoid the shadow of the stone. The direction he came towards seemed to be his. Could it be that he came to him after some instigation from Shao Yanru?
Although he felt that this person was not easy to fool Shao Yanru, in order to prevent him from following the trend, Shao Wanru didn't want to see him at this time. Fortunately, there was a big rock here that blocked the two people.
Seeing Chu Qing hurriedly leave from the big stone beside them, Shao Wanrucai and Yujie stuck their heads out and looked at the pavilion in the distance. Shuqi was clearing the stone table and seemed to be going inside.
Shao Yanru's movements when she came out of the pavilion were smooth and smooth. She didn't look like she had difficulty walking while holding the book and chess pieces before. Sure enough, this was just a move she made to show herself that she had to walk two ways with him!
The scenery is long and beautiful. It seems that there are quite a lot of scenery along the way today!
After Chu Qing had disappeared, Shao Wanru and Yujie turned around and walked back, returned to the previous path, and continued to walk forward. If they guessed correctly, the Qing County Prince was now walking on his own in front of...
