Chapter 63: 到達
[To arrive]
The girl looked at Tang Xiaobao sadly, as if he had done something wrong to himself. When Tang Xiaobao received this gaze, he was shocked and showed a puzzled expression to the girl, not knowing why she was looking at him like this.
“Miss, is there something wrong with you?” Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit off, Green Lotus walked up and asked the girl very respectfully.
The girl glanced at Tang Xiaobao, who seemed to be confused about the situation, and the maid who stood calmly in front of her, and said in a questioning voice: “I originally came here to participate in this Flower Festival, but I don’t know how I got here. Now, I don’t know how to go back?” The girl said, her expression seemed a bit embarrassed.
Tang Xiaobao looked at the girl, and then looked at Green Lotus. Just now, Green Lotus went to ask for directions, and came back after such a long time, so she should have already asked for directions. But when he looked at Green Lotus, he just about to open his mouth.
Then he heard Green Lotus standing there, softly saying: “It so happens that we are also going there, if young miss do not mind, please join us.”
That girl heard that it was so busy that it pile up, nodded, then thought of something, toward Tang Xiaobao said: “I surnamed Sang.” After that, she looked at Tang Xiaobao with sparkling eyes.
Looking at her sparkling eyes, Tang Xiaobao didn’t know what came to his mind, and then said tentatively, “Miss Sang, my surname is Tang.”
Getting Tang Xiaobao’s surname, a bright smile suddenly appeared on the girl’s face, and a touch of redness appeared on both sides of her cheeks, looking like a young girl in the throes of love.
Green Lotus, who had always found the sudden appearance of this girl very strange, stepped forward to separate the two, and then said respectfully, “Miss Sang, let’s go there earlier, perhaps the banquet has already begun.” Looking at the dress of the young lady, it must be a very rich family, even if it is not seen in other people’s banquets. But at this moment, the maids following this young lady should have been very flustered, perhaps they have already started to look for someone.
After Green Lotus reminded her, Miss Sang nodded and asked Green Lotus to show her the way.
Green Lotus had always maintained a very respectful attitude towards Miss Sang. Just now she met the subordinate who used to work together, it just so happened that the two of them still have an old grudge, and at this time, Green Lotus followed Ji Ling back, and when one person got the way, it was inevitable that she would be said a few mean words, so she wasted some time because of this argue. However, Tang Xiaobao did not blame her, she celebrated while not forgetting to remind herself of her duties as a servant.
Green Lotus led the way, while Tang Xiaobao and Miss Sang followed behind. But she felt that Miss Sang was looking at her from time to time, and her eyes were strange in a way that could not be described. It was only as the three of them arrived at a crowded place, and that girl seemed to feel that something was amiss and withdrew her gaze, that Tang Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of them was originally the mansion’s large garden, about the reason for this banquet, moved a lot of expensive flowers over. It even has a lot of tables, chairs, and food. It really is a bit like the previous life of the open-air party. Only here, we still enjoy the flowers in our spare time, and say a line or two of elegant poetry in the meantime.
The purpose of organizing this time, in fact, we all know very well, so most can see three or two men and women standing together to talk, seeming to get along with a very happy look. The moment Tang Xiaobao stepped into the place, he saw Ji Ling, who looked like a star in the crowd, even among a group of heavenly children, he was also a very dazzling existence.
Tang Xiaobao stood there and looked at that kind of Ji Ling, even though he was indifferent, he still could not hide others’ interest in him. He didn’t know why, but he couldn’t take a step forward, and he wanted to turn around and go back.
Miss Sang, who has been paying attention to Tang Xiaobao, could not care less about the maid who was about to cry when she was looking for her from afar, and looked at him with concern and asked, “Brother Tang, what’s wrong with you?”
“Me?” Tang Xiaobao just wanted to open his mouth to say that he didn’t have anything, only to see that Ji Ling who was standing in the crowd turned his head to look at this side. He saw a layer of warmth coloring his originally cold gaze, and then said something to the people around him, striding towards Tang Xiaobao. Seeing this instantaneous change, Tang Xiaobao stood there frozen until Ji Ling approached.
Following the direction of Tang Xiaobao’s line of sight, Miss Sang saw the man striding towards them. The first thing she saw was his face. She had never seen such a handsome man before. It wasn’t until the man arrived in front of them that he opened his mouth and said, “Why have you come here? If you said you wanted to come, I should have brought you here.”
Only after hearing Ji Ling’s question did Tang Xiaobao come back to his senses, and he was at a loss as to how to answer, saying that he came here because he didn’t worry about Ji Ling? Although this is the truth, he always felt that his words would lead to a new round of family crisis. So he looked at Ji Ling, not knowing how to say it.
While the two were looking at each other, a very bright voice came from behind Ji Ling, asking loudly, “Mr. Ji, who is this very cute-looking brother in front of you?”
Ji Ling turned his head to look at his newly-acquainted friend, and did not intend to hide anything, saying directly, “This is my husband who has already married.” As soon as the words left his mouth, the atmosphere around him instantly quieted down for a moment.
The person who asked the question seemed to find it a bit hard to believe, glancing at Ji Ling’s cold face, and then looking at Tang Xiaobao’s very good and pleasing looks, only after half a second did he hold back a sentence, “You, this kid, you hid it deeply enough, and actually married a husband who’s so lovely.”
“I have never hidden anything.” Ji Ling said indifferently.
The man was disliked and immediately shut his mouth.
Only Miss Sang, who was standing beside Tang Xiaobao, had some difficulty accepting it and looked at Tang Xiaobao with a somewhat pained look.
