"How dare you to threaten me?!" Sheng Weiqiao was shaking when knowing that he killed Jiaoyu and Meng Lijiang, and she even got worse later. It was not because of fear, but anger!
As the apple of a wealthy family's eyes, she had never been through grievance like this!
She was afraid that she would be extremely embarrassed when others knew that she drugged Sheng Shuihe with the aphrodisiac. However, as a long-term spoiled Miss, she would not surrender easily.
She would not only refuse to surrender, but also lose her temper!
She scratched Sheng Shuihe on the arm again, and smiled coldly, "Sure, I can't compete with you, because you are the third legitimate son of Gaomi King Family and the chief of Wuyi Battalion. Facing Gaomi King Family, even my parents could not save my life. I could not kill people easily like you, but I can end up my own life bravely!"
The girl gave him a sharp look with her beautiful eyes, and said
Sheng Shuihe didn't blink a bit, and said happily, "Sweetie, if you want to kill me, I will never resist!"He even took out the dagger tied secretly on his arm, turned the handle to her side and said gently, "How about now?""You think you can scare me?!" Sheng Weiqiao only said it to make him angry, but she was provoked when seeing him handing her the dagger, so she took the dagger instantly, pointing at him and yelling, "You think that you can scare me with it?"Sheng Shuihe lifted his eye brow, and looked at her with a big smile, "Sweetie, I have never wanted to scare you."His tone was calm while the words were tough, "However, if you can't kill me by yourself. We will have a lot to do with each other in the future!"Sheng Weiqiao thought that he was going to surrender when hearing the first sentence, while she was pissed off by his next sentence and send the dagger forward!The dagger was kept by Shen
Sheng Weiwu was glad to see Sheng Weiqiao, thinking that she was here to bring her to the lantern festival, so she talked about the deer's sinew that they had eaten on Lantern Festival with excitement, “It will be great if we can have it every day. Our cook had made it before, but it was not as delicious as what we had that day.”Once she brought up the deer's sinew, Sheng Weiqiao was reminded of what Princess Qingfang told her on that day and Sheng Shuihe immediately, which made her feel so uncomfortable.While facing the little sister, she could not lose her temper, so she just swallowed her words and forced a smile, “You will get tired of it in three days if we have it every day. What’s more, we have lived in Nanfeng County for a long time, so we may get sick if we’re not careful about what we eat in Chang’an. At that time, we could only eat less and stop going out.”Hearing it, Sheng Weiwu was reminded of the boring time when she had been l
It was mainly because Sheng Weiwu had heard that it was the last day of the lantern festival and insisted to go. Sheng Weiqiao, who had no interest in it, comforted her for a long time, while the little girl complained in tears, “You promised me two days ago that as long as I agree on returning to Nanfeng County, I can do whatever I want! But you didn’t even allow me to watch the lantern!”“The festival has lasted for ten days since the Lantern Festival!”“And I have only gone there twice!”“I could only watch it from the building. It is just like when we were at home and looked at the street on the building!”“It is boring!”“Tonight is the last night of the festival! And you don’t allow me to go.”“Shengxiang said that the room was booked for ten days!”“You don’t let me go even if the room was booked!”“You don’t love me anymore!”The little girl cried hurtfully wh
The person sounded as if he were old from his voice, while he could speak clearly with great energy and raciness, which was cordial and enthusiastic but not annoying. So the onlookers were very supportive, letting him explain.The man-made a bow to the people with hands folded in front before continuing, "My master loves lantern riddles. Every year during the lantern exhibition, he will personally come to our store and stay on the third floor! All the people, no matter men, women, the young and the old, the rich and the poor, as long as you can guess thirty lantern riddles correctly on the first floor, you can go to the second floor. After guessing ten lantern riddles correctly on the second floor, you can go up to the third floor! At the top of the stairs on the third floor, there will be three lantern riddles made by my master himself. If you can guess them correctly, my master will welcome you and give you one hundred tael as a reward!"One hundred tael
Sheng Shuihe and his companions didn’t know the situation in Buye Tower this day. When Sheng Weiwu asked Sheng Shuihe to guess the riddles for them, Sheng Weiqiao was upset and didn’t even want to agree. However, when she planned to take Sheng Weiwu away, she saw the grievances on her face. The little girl looked back at the lantern riddles again and again with reluctance, so finally Sheng Weiqiao agreed.After all, it was rare for girls to have the chance to go out at this time. Even if Sheng Weiwu was still too young to get married, and even if her family allowed her to come out to have fun in the Lantern Festival after missing the game this night and going back to Nanfeng County in a few days, the prosperity there could not compare with Chang'an.Unless her little cousin married Chang'an in the future, or according to common sense, this night might be the last time for Sheng Weiwu to witness the splendor of the lantern exhibition of Chang'an.
Sheng Weiqiao cast an eye over Sheng Shuihe, only to see that he maintained that mild smile and calm demeanor as if nothing had happened. Beaming, he gestured at her and said to Zhao Siblings, "These are my two sisters. The older one ranks third in our family also, and the younger one is my Eighth Sister. Still, we have a niece in our group who has visited you before as well. She isn't here, lazing in her room tonight."Third Miss Zhao came up and curtseyed to them, "You have my greetings, Third Miss Sheng and Eighth Miss Sheng!"Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu curtseyed in return. The three exchanged their names and had a small chat. Sheng Weiqiao's eyes were fixed on this Third Miss Zhao, with whom she had been wishing to make acquaintance. She was fairly a beauty, with her white skin, slim waist, red cheek, and soulful eyes. And the chignon set up on the side with a peony hairpin somewhat brought out the seduction hidden in her immature body of a virgin.
Sheng Shuihe had been feeling impatient for a while. His knowledge of painting was imparted by Huan Guanlan, the celebrated scholar who was accomplished in literature and had somewhat delved into other fields including the zither, chess, calligraphy, and the painting.Huan Guanlan's painting was inferior to his literature. And as his disciple, Sheng Shuihe's painting literacy appeared to be even more inferior, because it wasn't his major subject, and he was too young to study it thoroughly.But Zhao Li was too young also. And though Zhao Family, the family that bred him, was known for its achievement in literature, it hadn't got an artist in its family tree. And in the hope that he would repent his way, Zhao Family didn't formally find him a master, either. He had been teaching himself the painting so far.Hence, he admired Sheng Shuihe, the disciple of Huan Guanlan, very much.However, as a man determined to work for the imperial
“You may find an old acquaintance to be a stranger, and you may see a new friend as a confidant." Huang Wujiu's face also darkened at the name of Sheng Shuihe, but being a man more unflappable than Gao Chengxuan, he managed to keep his refined demeanor despite his cold eyes. He said nonchalantly, "I don't know, for I haven't seen him yet."Unwilling to talk about it in public, he flicked his sleeve and tried to change the subject, "I suggest you go upstairs now, or you'll keep others waiting!"Gao Chengxuan groaned, seemingly unsatisfied with his vague attitude. But still, he managed to gather thirty sticks rapidly by solving some more riddles nearby and then made his way to the staircase in his servant's company... Things would have wrapped up, with the visitors on the ground floor snapping their gaze back, if he hadn't been attracted by Zhao Taoxuan's pretty appearance after taking a few steps. His eyes gleamed, "Miss, may I know your name? I am..."
