Chapter 266: Zoo (2)
The black wolf became extremely excited after smelling the familiar scent. It jumped off the carriage impatiently before it stopped and ran straight towards the golden tiger.
The fences around the zoo were made of fine iron and were very sturdy. The two beasts could only jump and dance excitedly through the fences. The black wolf, who had been holding back for a long time, wagged its tail, raised its head and howled at the sky, the sound resounding through the sky.
Shangguan Qingyue smiled with relief when she saw this. Her Black General should live like this. No matter how comfortable the house in the city is, it is not a place for wild beasts to stay.
Bai Er personally led everyone to their respective rest rooms. Since they came here for hunting today, they had to change into light riding clothes.
Shangguan Qingyue, who had never ridden a horse, regretted not bringing her donkey Xiaohua, who had been staying at home to grow fat. She couldn't help but back off when she thought about the horses, who she could only reach their legs.
"Sister, I won't change my riding clothes. I'm afraid I'll fall off the horse and never see the sun again."
Shangguan Yunxin didn't react at first, but after she understood what her younger sister meant, she hurriedly patted the wooden door and kept muttering:
"Pooh, pooh, the bad ones don't work, but the good ones do...
Qingyue, come here and follow me! Who would curse themselves? If it happens again, I will tell my mother. "
Tsk tsk, feudal superstition is not acceptable. She was clearly just making an assumption.
In the end, Shangguan Qingyue still put on the heroic riding suit, and rarely chose the bright pomegranate red.
Baili Jinlin and Baili Jinheng had already gone out and found an open space to stretch their muscles. In today's hunt, the two of them secretly competed with each other and were determined to show off their skills.
As for Fu Qiuyang, he secretly changed into clothes of the same color as Shangguan Yunxin and waited for the two sisters to come out at the gate of the courtyard.
He had restrained his previous unruly appearance and had a silly smile on his face. The busy days had made him look more mature and steady.
Shangguan Yunxin felt a little distressed when she saw this. She liked this man's free and unrestrained appearance and didn't want to see him restrain his nature for her.
After a little hesitation, he still asked the question:
"How's the shop going? Is everything going well?"
Fu Qiuyang's beautiful eyes instantly brightened up. He took out a folding fan from somewhere and opened it. He smiled evilly and then said in a brisk tone:
"These are all things I am very familiar with, Xin'er, don't worry. In less than half a year, our Shangpin Pavilion will be well-known in the capital, and it will be just around the corner to make a fortune."
"puff--"
Shangguan Qingyue laughed so hard that she bent over. It turned out that men were naturally good at bragging. He made a fortune every day. Could it be that all the clothes sold in the shop were embroidered with gold?
And that intimate name, and the word 'we', he said it without blushing or getting nervous, he's really thick-skinned!
Shangguan Yunxin supported her little sister who was laughing so hard that she was staggering. Although her ears were a little hot, she agreed to everything. An unprecedented sweet feeling surged in her heart, making her greedy.
Baili Jinheng and the other two standing not far from the three people were a little dazed at the petite girl with a beautiful smile. My little cousin looks so good in red clothes!
"What's so funny?"
A cold voice came from the other side, and what came into view was Xuanyuan Yan's expressionless face.
He was dressed in black, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and black hair, looking like a mighty general who was about to go into battle to kill the enemy.
When Shangguan Qingyue heard the voice, he stood up straight reflexively, and swallowed the word "sir" before he could even utter it.
"Meet the Third Prince."
Seeing the person opposite him bowing respectfully like a lady from a noble family, speaking in a gentle and soothing tone, Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, this girl really looks like she is so serious after pretending.
He raised his hand to support
"No need to be so polite, today is just a gathering among friends, there are no so many rules."
In addition to Qing Yi, who was always by his side, there was also an icy beauty standing beside him. Shangguan Qingyue guessed that this person was the maid Xuanyuan Yan was going to give her.
Tsk, he doesn't look very obedient!
At this time, a luxurious and exquisite carriage drove over from a distance, followed by seven or eight servants. Seeing Xuanyuan Yan's cold face, Shangguan Qingyue guessed that the owner of the carriage must have come uninvited.
Looking at the gorgeous carriage crowns and guardrails at the front and back, as well as the beautiful gauze curtains fluttering in the wind, it seems that there is a woman sitting in the carriage.
The maid lifted the carriage curtain, and before she saw the person coming, she heard a woman's voice as sweet as an oriole calling out:
"cousin."
Then a stunning girl in a smoky purple brocade dress walked out slowly. Her every move exuded refinement and elegance.
The autumn weather is crisp, the sky is clear, and a breeze blows, bringing with it a fragrant breeze...
"Ah-"
At this moment, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but sneezed loudly, which scared the girl so much that she almost sprained her ankle. Fortunately, she was firmly supported by the maid beside her.
The person who came was Wang Shuhua.
She had rehearsed the series of actions for getting off the car countless times in her mind, just to leave a deep impression on her cousin whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Who would have thought that Shangguan Qingyue's sneeze would ruin it completely...
She had never seen such a vulgar woman!
"Sorry, sorry, I can't stand strong spices."
The maidservant following behind Wang Shuhua blushed and couldn't help but sneer:
"Second Miss Shangguan is such a joker. The incense our young lady uses is a tribute from the Western Regions given by the Imperial Concubine. It is so rare for a noble lady to have it. How can it not smell good? It seems to me that you are deliberately making things difficult for her!"
It would be fine if the master just said that, but Xiangxue couldn't stand it when a servant dared to be so rude to her mistress. She subconsciously wanted to roll up her sleeves, but finally held back.
He took a step forward and refuted with great momentum:
“As the saying goes, everyone has their own preferences. Even if you praise the spices to the skies, my young lady just doesn’t like them.
People with pure minds cannot understand your twisted thoughts. Don't judge others by your own standards!"
After saying this, Xiangxue was very proud. The great principles she had just learned from the nanny yesterday were put to use today. It is good to be educated, and you can even curse people without using any dirty words!
Wang Shuhua reached out to stop the maid who was about to continue arguing, and asked as politely as possible:
"I wonder what kind of spices the second Miss Shangguan uses on a daily basis? I'm very interested in aromatherapy, we can discuss it together."
Shangguan Qingyue looked at the girl in front of him who was exquisite from head to toe, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: What a silly girl, why bother to keep pestering a heartless man?
Unable to help but glance at Xuanyuan Yan, who was standing there like an ice cube without saying a word, she then spoke:
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint Miss Wang. I grew up in the countryside and have no idea what aromatherapy is. Apart from the smell of soapberry, the only scent I can accept is the scent of silver dan grass."
Xuanyuan Yan unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth. The little girl was still as frank and fearless as ever, lively and pure. He finally spoke: "Cousin, is there something you want to do here?"
Wang Shuhua, who was somewhat dazed, immediately came back to his senses, showing a sweet smile, and said in a slightly coquettish tone:
"I just wanted to go hunting, so I came directly to the zoo. My cousin won't blame me for coming uninvited, right?
I will entertain the two young ladies, and I promise that your trip will be worthwhile."
Looking at the huge crowd, Xuanyuan Yan's good mood had long since disappeared. He turned around and walked towards his mount without saying a word.
Baili Jinlin had been eager to try them out, as those horses were rare and excellent. If he was not mistaken, the Third Prince's mount was a Ferghana horse!
This huge zoo was built around a mountain and was divided into a breeding area and a hunting area. There were countless rare and exotic animals. He must show them off in front of the person he liked!
So he looked at Shangguan Qingyue and asked:
"Cousin Qingyue, what do you want to eat? I'll hunt and roast it for you later!"
She is a person who can't bear to kill even a chicken, so she is not interested in these things at all! Shangguan Qingyue had no choice but to reply:
"Well, grilled fish should be good."
Everyone:...
