sister-in-law

Chapter 135
Su Ruoli glanced at the small island in the middle of the lake surrounded by water, and frowned involuntarily.The second lady of Cheng Guogong's mansion is so elegant that she actually set the venue of the flower viewing party in such a secluded place?

There are so many boudoir ladies with weak bodies, and the wind is blowing in all directions. Do you believe that they are still in the mood to enjoy the flowers?
Although I have never lived in an aristocratic family, I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs run.Anyway, she is also a person in two lifetimes, such a little mystery can still be seen.

Tightening the rabbit fur cloak around her body, Su Ruoli stood opposite the small island in the middle of the lake.Here, there is not even a bridge, how can it be a place to entertain guests?
After waiting for a while, I heard a few people in red and green chattering on the opposite side, and soon, a small boat rowed over there.

The emerald green lake water was rippling, and the boat floated unsteadily in the green ocean like a leaf.

A quarter of an hour later, the small boat came over, and there was only one boat lady on it.

Seeing Su Ruoli, the boat lady saluted lukewarmly, and then said: "Our second young lady ordered my servants to come and fetch the young lady!"

Su Ruoli's eyes flickered, and she took a few glances at the boat lady, but she was a slender woman with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, about 30 years old, wearing a set of lake blue jacket and trousers, with a piece of cloth wrapped around her head. The blue cotton headscarf keeps the whole body neat and tidy.

His complexion was neither humble nor overbearing, and his eyes were distant and indifferent, which is only the servant girl of this kind of aristocratic family.

Su Ruoli smiled, nodded and said, "Well, I'm sorry, sister-in-law." No matter whether the other party is polite or not, as long as her interests are not touched, she doesn't care about it. It's better to be more open-minded.

The boat lady supported the boat with a penny to prevent the boat from shaking, but she didn't extend her hand to show them that she wanted to give them a hand.

Su Ruoli wrapped her cloak tightly indifferently, stepped forward and jumped onto the boat.

When she turned her head and reached out to Ling'er, she saw that girl's complexion was pale, her legs were trembling, and her face was wrinkled, as if she had eaten a green olive.

"Girl, servant girl, I have never been on a boat since I was a child. I'm afraid, I'm afraid...very!" Ling'er is a northerner, a typical landlubber. When she saw this bright lake, she was so frightened that she couldn't even speak clearly. .

The corner of Chuanniang's mouth twitched, and she gave Ling'er a disdainful look. After all, she didn't come from a wealthy family, even a girl can't get on the stage like this.

Her mouth couldn't help urging, "Hurry up, girl, our second young lady is waiting on the island, the banquet is about to start, if the girl drags on, it won't be good if it's too late."

Her tone was full of contempt, and Ling'er bit her lip when she heard it, her face was already half red, she secretly complained to herself that she was stupid and had embarrassed her own girl.

Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes and wanted to jump onto the boat.

But Su Ruoli reached out and grabbed her, and said coldly without looking back: "I don't know your second lady very well, so I didn't want to come, who would have thought that your second lady would just post a post for me? It's not good to come. If Second Miss really can't wait any longer, well, then we won't go, one more and one less, Second Miss won't care if I want to come, right?"

It's a joke, look at her, do you want to come?She is not the person who shakes this second lady's chin. If you are polite, I will treat you well.If you want to humiliate others, I'm sorry, but I don't have time to spend time with you.

After Su Ruoli finished speaking, she pulled on her cloak and wanted to jump ashore.

Who are you scaring?I don't eat yours and drink yours, so you can tell whoever you like!
When the boat lady first met Su Ruoli, she thought that this little lady was kind and easy to talk to.I also heard from the girl of the second lady of her family that the second lady didn't like this girl very much, so she didn't have to treat her like other girls.

She just thought that this girl was someone who had never seen anything in the world to be fooled. When she saw her, she was so indifferent, but she didn't care much, and she believed in her own judgment even more in her heart.

So he became more daring, thinking about how to make this girl suffer!
That's why he dared to deliberately humiliate her girl in front of this girl.

As the saying goes, "it depends on the owner to beat a dog". If you bully this girl, isn't it the same as bullying this girl?

But who would have thought that just after I said the two threatening words, the girl reacted so quickly, and the boat lady broke out in a cold sweat from fright.

Regardless of her own lady's attitude towards other girls, she must not be so ignorant of the rules as a servant.If someone picks out the thorns and embarrasses Cheng Guo's mansion, then she won't be able to stay in this mansion anymore.

The boat lady was also quick to respond, she quickly pulled Su Ruoli's arm, and smiled all over her face, "Oh, girl, don't leave, it's all slaves who don't listen to you. The slaves are a little impatient, You shouldn't have said that to this girl!"

It can be regarded as an apology to Ling'er, and enough face for Su Ruoli.

Su Ruoli did not want to embarrass the boat lady because of Li Fu'an's face.So she nodded and said to Ling'er: "Just hang out on the shore, I'll come to see Miss Er."

Ling'er seemed to be pardoned, her face was red and white, she didn't dare to get off the boat, so she could only respond: "Miss, go now, this servant is waiting for you here, and I won't go anywhere!"

Only then did Su Ruoli turn around and sit down on the bow of the boat, and said in a cold voice, "Let's set sail."

The boat lady didn't dare to be careless, and she was no longer negligent like before, she hurriedly said "Sit down, girl", and propped up the penny and slowly drove towards the small island in the middle of the lake.

When we got closer to the small island, we could see that there was a tightly closed pavilion on the top, which was blocked by curtains on all sides, and only had glass windows on one side. It was clear at a glance from the outside, and the scenery on the lake was also clear. painting.

It was early winter, and there was nothing to see on the water, only half of the lake's residual lotus floating there, which reminded Su Ruolii of the poem "Leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of rain". , this lake is also "connecting the sky with endless green lotus leaves".

Gradually approaching the small island, Su Ruoli could see clearly that there were several white jade stone steps leading to the small island and the lake, the boat stopped there, went up the stone steps, and arrived at the pavilion.

At this time, there were two girls in red and green standing there, looking forward to it, it seemed that they were specially waiting for her.

The boat lady drove the boat very fast, and arrived at the stone steps in a short time.At this time, the boat lady was different from the beginning, she parked the boat respectfully, and said to Su Ruoli, "Miss, we're here."

The two girls hurried up to greet her and asked, "I don't know which house the girl is from?"

Su Ruoli stood up, tightened the cloak tightly, and said softly just now: "I am Su Ruoli from Sanyuan Hall."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the expressions of the two maids changed, and the older one hurriedly laughed: "It turns out that Miss Su has arrived, and this servant will tell the second lady to go." She raised her head and faced the pavilion above. The people inside shouted, "Second Miss, Miss Su from Sanyuantang has arrived."

Su Ruoli couldn't laugh or cry, did this girl from Duke Cheng's mansion really not understand etiquette or did she do it on purpose?Just let her stand on the boat like this, and still have to wait for her lady to speak?
She can only go up if the second lady of Chengguo Duke's Mansion speaks, so why post a post for her again?

But she is a person who is not surprised by favor or humiliation. Although she feels weird in her heart, she just stands there calmly and waits quietly.

She wanted to see what kind of tricks the second young lady of Duke Cheng's mansion was trying to play?

As soon as the girl's words fell to the ground, the cotton curtain of the pavilion was lifted away, and there was a man wearing a gorilla felt cloak, a smoky purple collar embroidered with folded plum branches and gauze jacket, and ten hundred pieces of silver and white brocade underneath. The girl in the pleated skirt came out gracefully and walked towards the stone steps with a frosty face.It was Li Fuan's younger sister whom she met in the palace that night - Li Lanxin.

Seeing her walking towards him with a noble and arrogant face, Su Ruoli secretly smiled, since he didn't want to see her so much, why did he post a post to invite her?I don't know if she wants to find abuse or find fault?

She really didn't understand, she and this Li Lanxin were just acquaintances, how could she be so indifferent to her?If you say you don't like yourself, then you shouldn't invite her.Since she was invited here, she still put on such a stinky air, which is a bit unreasonable for every lady.

The last time I was in the palace, I felt that she looked at me with unfriendly eyes. Su Ruoli still hasn't figured out when she and this Li Lanxin had an enmity?
She has only been in Beijing for more than half a year, how could she offend such a charming lady from an aristocratic family?
But she never showed it on her face, and she still has the ability to coax little girls.Immediately, he went up the stone steps with a smile, and said, "I have seen the second lady!"

The corners of Li Lanxin's mouth twitched, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.The girl on the other side hurried forward to pull Su Ruoli's hand, "Young lady, you are welcome, please help the girl up here."

At this time, Su Ruoli had just stepped on the first stone steps, and there was a deep and secluded lake under his feet.The girl stretched out her hand out of good intentions, as if she wanted to give her a hand, Su Ruoli didn't care, and naturally placed it on her hand.

But as soon as his hand was on the girl's arm, he felt a strong push, but he just grabbed it in vain, how could he grab it?Immediately, he leaned back, one foot was out of the air, and he staggered and fell into the green lake.

Suddenly, at the moment she fell, she saw a smug smile flashing in Li Lanxin's eyes on the shore.

It sounded like a frying pan exploded in the pavilion, "Oh, someone fell into the lake."

The chirping was very noisy, and there were many maids and women on the shore who were eager to get into the water, but they were all weak women, and after a long time of tossing, no one chased them down.

Although the water of the lake in early winter is not icy cold, it is also very cold.

As soon as the hot body fell into it, all the muscles in my body felt cramped.

Su Ruoli choked on several mouthfuls of the cold lake water before shaking off her hands and feet, tearing the cloak off her body with all her might.

Damn, you know that if there is no good banquet, there will be no good meeting!
