Capture the Jade

Chapter 23: (two)

Afterwards, as if aware of the strange atmosphere in the flower hall, he couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Teng Yuyi.

Mrs. Du kept looking out the door, seeing Duan Ningyuan's delay in showing up, she sighed in disappointment: "That day in Ziyun Tower, General Duan accused me and Ayu for no reason, I scolded him a few words in anger, Duan The little general is probably still unwilling to come over to see my elder."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed subtly.

Madam Duan said with a smile: "Madam is too worried, what happened that day was purely a misunderstanding, and she said it at that time. Ning Yuan is grateful for the teachings of the elders. Today, when I know that Madam and Ayu are here, it is too late to be happy, so how can I avoid seeing them. "

Mrs. Du smiled and sighed: "That's right, it's because I am an elder who is narrow-minded, and General Duan is famous, so I don't expect to be so confused."

After saying that, he looked at the door again. Since he was not confused, the elders had already come to the door. Why was he late as a junior to greet him.

The distinguished guests in the hall were originally intended to be watched from the wall, but at this time they were a little too hard to see. The grandmother was here, and the female family members of the Tendu family were here. General Duan just shrank and did not show up. He was really indifferent and rude. In this marriage, deliberately dispose of the Teng family.

Among the female family members present, there were already several ladies from Ziyun Tower that day. They knew that Duan Ningyuan and that Dong Er were a little bit innocent, but seeing Teng Yuyi's cheeks flushed as if to endure the grievance, they couldn't help but feel angry.

This Duan Ningyuan dared to bully Ayu like this before he got married. After he got married, was he still good? !

The husband of a certain Mrs. Hou was Teng Shao's comrade, and he was the first to hold his breath and exclaimed: "That day in Ziyun Tower, General Duan claimed that he was confused after drinking alcohol. Are you drunk again? Madam Teng is in poor health, Madam Du is recovering from a serious illness, and Ayu has been exhausted for days and still comes to celebrate her birthday together. General Duan doesn't come to ask for peace, it's a bit unreasonable!"

As soon as these words came out, those female relatives who had been dissatisfied for a long time also rushed to reconcile. For a while, people in the flower hall made excuses, and Mrs. Duan couldn't sit still, and said tremblingly: "Dalang is not such a person, definitely If you stumbled on something, go and tell the master, and let him send someone to look for it."

The servants went away in response, and when they came back, they only shook their heads, apparently finding nothing.

There was silence in the flower hall, could it be that Duan Ningyuan was not in the mansion at all?

The grandmother's birthday, and the eldest grandson is not in the mansion, it is ridiculous to be disrespectful. If you were in the mansion, and insulted the lady who had never been there, no one would be able to swallow this breath.

Teng Yuyi felt the sympathetic eyes of everyone, and apologized to Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Duan. She returned to her aunt and deliberately sat between her aunt and cousin. The three of them had a tacit understanding, either in tears or full of anger. .

Everyone's faces were unbearable, how could the Teng family achieve this level?

Mrs. Duan and Duan Wenyin wanted to find something to resolve, but everyone's mind was floating.

This situation is really embarrassing, the host and guests don't know what to do, there is a sudden commotion outside, and the servants are ecstatic: "The eldest son is here."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Ningyuan strode in, wearing a brocade and jade crown, with a handsome face, he knelt on one knee as soon as he came in: "Grandson is late."

Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Duan were relieved, and they laughed and scolded: "It's so late, I've been worried for so long! Where have you gone? I can't find you everywhere! Remember this today, and I will ask your grandfather to give it to you tomorrow. Make up for it!"

Duan Ningyuan banged his head three times and said loudly, "The grandson should be punished. For today, the grandson specially prepared a birthday gift for his grandmother. How do you know that the little people have rough hands and feet and mess with the makeup and brocade outside? The grandson was afraid of contaminating the grandmother's eyes, so they ordered them to change a new piece of silk, which took some time. The grandson was afraid of being punished, so he wrapped it up and presented it to his grandmother himself. Just punish your grandson less."

His body trembled inadvertently as he spoke.

Old Madam Duan laughed so hard: "It's so pitiful, you can't hide from a beating. Madam Du and Yu'er are over there, haven't you seen it? Just kneel down and do what, don't hurry over and ask for peace. ."

"That's right." Madam Duan said with a feigned anger, "Yu'er happily came to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, but she was left aside for no reason. If you don't apologize to Yu'er today, I won't forgive you for the first time."

Only then did Duan Ningyuan turn to Teng Yuyi and the three of them, and said with a deep bow, "The junior apologizes to the madam. The junior is late for something, and I hope the madam will not blame her."

Mrs. Du squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't be too polite, please get up quickly."

Duan Ningyuan turned to Teng Yuyi again, bowed his brows and cupped his hands, "Forgive me for being negligent... Madam."

Teng Yuyi turned to avoid a salute: "General Duan is serious."

Old Madam Duan and Madam Duan looked at the two with smiles on their faces. Duan Ningyuan straightened up, but suddenly, his shoulders shook again. This movement was almost invisible and hard to be noticed, but he couldn't hide from Teng Yuyi's eyes. She smiled slightly, and lowered her eyelashes calmly.

Duan Ningyuan had overestimated himself, and dared to show his face when itchy bugs were on their upper body.

It is estimated that Duan Ningyuan has been struggling for a while before, and it is really unreasonable to bite the bullet and come out to meet the guests.

If you don't come out to meet guests, you are not filial and arrogant.

When you come out to meet guests, you will inevitably reveal clues.

But if he can keep going, won't Lin Chengyou be bragging? Since it is said that this worm [makes your life worse than death and tickles and blooms], it can naturally make life worse than death.

She was not in a hurry, let's see how long Duan Ningyuan could endure.

After Duan Ningyuan paid his respects, he was about to go to Old Madam Duan, but as soon as he took a step, his body suddenly moved again. This time, the movement was too big and attracted everyone's attention.

Duan Ningyuan gritted his teeth secretly, and Yun Danfeng gently instructed his servants: "Give the gift to grandma first."

Everyone looked around for a while, only to think that their eyes were dazzling, and just as they were about to look away, Duan Ningyuan couldn't help but twitch again.

This time even Mrs. Du and Du Tinglan noticed it, and Mrs. Duan asked curiously, "Dalang, what's the matter with you?"

Duan Ningyuan is tall and straight, and his waist is straight. Even at this time, this pine-like demeanor is still unforgettable. He reluctantly smiled and said, "It's nothing."

However, as he spoke, his eyebrows twitched again, as if it was unbearable itching. Before he could adjust his expression, his neck crooked again, as if to stop the itching, and he gritted his teeth and rubbed against his collar.

This is very rude, just like what Tian Chenu did.

Everyone felt more and more strange, Duan Ningyuan didn't seem to care about saying hello, and went out in a hurry.

Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Duan didn't know what to do. Seeing that Duan Ningyuan was behaving strangely, and consciously losing face, they shouted in unison, "Dalang!"

Duan Ningyuan took two steps, and the footsteps suddenly stopped, suddenly raised his arm, and grabbed it back desperately. This move was almost a gaffe, and many girls were surprised and lost their voices. This... What's going on.

Duan Ningyuan was trembling all over, trying to control himself, but his head was dripping with cold sweat and his expression was extremely convulsive.

Everyone was so surprised that they couldn't move. Several ladies who had been to Ziyun Tower remembered the scene that day, and said in awe: "Isn't this itching poison in Dong Erniang's day?"

"Dong Erniang?"

Mrs. Du was stunned: "I just said why it looked so familiar, not to mention that I haven't remembered it yet, it's weird, how could the poison on Dong Erniang go to Young Master Duan?"

The pot exploded in the flower hall.

"Itching poison? What is itching poison." Someone asked.

"It's an itchy bug."

"Who is Dong Erniang?" Another group of people asked.

"Dong Erniang is the second thousand gold of the county magistrate of Wannian County. On the day of the Shangsi Festival, she pretended to be sick and deceived Cheng Wang Shizi's Liuyuan Pill, and Cheng Wang Shizi found out on the spot. She has been imprisoned in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. Cast itch bugs."

"Ah? Since Dong Erniang is in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, why did Young Master Duan contract this poison?"

Duan Ningyuan's body was hot and cold for a while, and every pore was tingling.

He was so itchy that he couldn't stop it, the sweat rolled down, and his limbs couldn't help twitching. He wanted to leave the flower hall, but every muscle on his legs was trembling, and he didn't listen to his commands.

He was terrified that Dong Erniang had been tortured in prison for the past few days. Because he was unwilling to give others a hand, he had never approached Lin Chengyou, but because he could not bear Dong Erniang's suffering, he had asked several medical officers to examine her one after another.

The medical officer thought of many ways, and they all said that Dong Erniang's poison has no cure, and it can be passed on, so be careful when approaching.

He kept these words in his heart. He hadn't met Dong Erniang in the past few days. When did he contract this poison? He didn't know it at all.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt two icy gazes coming towards him. His five senses were sharper than ordinary people. He gritted his teeth and raised his eyes to look over. A young lady across from him was looking at him in panic. Ru skirt.

Duan Ningyuan was stunned for a moment. He was still young when they got engaged, and he didn't even see Teng Yuyi's face. After she went to Yangzhou, the two didn't even have a chance to meet. After a few years, his impression of Teng Yuyi had faded away. .

He didn't even raise his head when he came in and saluted, he couldn't imagine...I didn't expect Teng Yuyi's face to be so dazzling.

Are those two cold eyes just now hers? He was suspicious, but Teng Yu's panic was so seamless that he couldn't really see the flaw.

While thinking about it, his arm was already grabbing the front chest out of control. Mrs. Duan and Duan Wenyin saw that Duan Ningyuan was so out of control, and they were already panicked: "Go and tell the master that Dalang is ill, and let the master quickly find a medical officer to see a doctor."

After all, Mrs. Duan had seen the wind and waves, and she immediately said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, where is the itchiness? This is clearly a source of discomfort. Dalang suffered from wind disease when he was a child.

"It's the wind group!" Duan Wenyin answered hurriedly, "I heard that this disease is very annoying, and it's exactly what it looks like when it itches."

Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi said coldly: "The wind group can't help the wind. The windows and drawers in the flower hall are all open. If General Duan stays in the hall, the itch will get worse."

Mrs. Duan and Duan Wenyin were reminded by this, and hurried over to help Duan Ningyuan.

Duan Ningyuan shook her head and was about to step back, but one step late, although Duan Wenyin withdrew her hand in time, Mrs. Duan grabbed her son's arm.

Duan Ningyuan trembled all over, used all his strength to push Madam Duan away, and said sternly, "Auntie, don't, don't touch me."

Mrs. Duan was shocked. Before she could figure out what was going on, a strange feeling crept up her arm, which made her shiver. After the first stroke, there would naturally be a second stroke and a third stroke.

Mrs. Duan's skill is far inferior to her son's. Once the attack occurs, it is far inferior to her son's forbearance. The flesh on her face began to twitch, and she scratched everywhere: "Itchy, itchy, itchy."

Everyone was stunned. Before they could figure out what happened to General Duan, Mrs. Duan went crazy in a blink of an eye. The wind group would not be passed on, it was clearly a poisonous insect!

"This is itchy bugs!" Several Hou ladies panicked, "Dong Erniang was like this that day, Prince Cheng said that this poison would be passed on, and told the palace people not to touch Dong Erniang, you see, Madam Duan only touches it. infected."

When everyone heard this, they were both surprised and puzzled: "But according to what you said, there were so many people in Ziyun Tower that day, and no one except Dong Erniang was infected with this poison, why did Young Master Duan suddenly get infected after a few days? ?"

"Then I don't know. This bug won't run around. There must be a reason for it to be infected."

Duan Ningyuan's face became more and more ugly, and several female relatives of the Duan family trembled when they heard it. After such a good birthday banquet, their old faces were all lost.

While talking, the Duan family's mother and son writhed more and more fiercely. People were afraid of being contaminated, and they dispersed like a tide. In a huge flower hall, only the Duan family's mother and son were left struggling.
