It was spring, and the weather was warm and beautiful.
Ouyang Wu rarely went out these days. Ah Xiu was afraid that she would be bored, so she smiled and advised: "Second Miss, it's beautiful outside. I saw yesterday that the spring orchid you like in the garden is in full bloom. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Ouyang Wu put down the history book in her hand, stood up and stretched, and smiled: "It's good to go out for a walk, otherwise it's boring to stay in the room all day."
I don't know what Ouyang Ying is busy with these days. She didn't come to trouble her once. Fortunately, she was so energetic that she wanted to teach her a lesson.
The spring was beautiful, but there was still a hint of chill. Ah Xiu took a light pink shawl and put it on Ouyang Wu. The master and servant went out of the courtyard one after the other.
The mansion covers a large area, and Ouyang Wu lives in a very remote place, so the master and servant walked for an incense stick of time without meeting outsiders. The two of them walked and stopped, talked and laughed, and felt comfortable.
In the garden, ancient trees, rockeries, pools, canals, pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, and lake rocks are piled up into mountains, dense but not crowded. The winding paths are paved with colorful stones, which are gorgeous and dazzling.
Ouyang Wu was enjoying the view, but she didn't expect to see the person she least wanted to see when she turned the corner.
It was also a coincidence.
The orchids in Ouyang Mansion are particularly beautiful and are very famous among the noble circles in the capital.
Today, the weather is fine and the water is shimmering. Ouyang Xuan and Ouyang Xiu, the two siblings, just invited three or five friends to the garden to enjoy the flowers. Unfortunately, when Ouyang Wu walked to the Biluo Pavilion, she just met them.
The Biluo Pavilion is in the shape of a plum blossom, with a five-petal Xumi pedestal, the upper layer is covered with emerald green glazed tiles, and the lower layer is covered with peacock blue glazed tiles. Various plum blossom patterns are carved on the arc-shaped white stone railings between the pavilion columns.
Four or five handsome boys and young girls were sitting in the Biluo Pavilion. They sat around the table, talking and laughing, looking very happy.
Ouyang Xiu and Ouyang Ying were among them. During this time, no one knew what Ouyang Ying said, but the others all laughed out loud, and Ouyang Ying's face was even more radiant, extremely proud, and at this moment she seemed to be the focus of the whole audience.
"Hey, fifth sister?" Just as Ouyang Wu turned around and was about to leave, Ouyang Ying shouted, bringing everyone's attention to her.
Ouyang Wu secretly said that it was bad luck, but she was not afraid in her heart. She looked at Ouyang Ying calmly: "Fourth sister called me, is there something wrong?"
Ouyang Wu did not miss the gleam in Ouyang Ying's eyes when she looked at her. It was a kind of excitement that was faintly beating after all the tricks.
Ouyang Wu was immediately on guard, but her eyes were still as clear as water, calm and without any unusual emotions.
Ouyang Ying walked towards Ouyang Wu quickly, took her arm warmly, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, come quickly, I'll show you something good. This bracelet was specially given to me by my father yesterday." As she spoke, she took off the bracelet and wanted to show it to Ouyang Wu carefully.
Is she showing off? Or is she showing off? Ouyang Wu glanced at her sideways, pushed her hand away calmly, and said in a light voice: "Since it is a gift from my father, you should keep it well and don't break it."
It was an ice-type Yang green jade bracelet, with a transparent color and delicate carving. It was worth a lot at first glance.
"No, I have to show it to my fifth sister. Good things should be shared with good sisters." Ouyang Ying stuffed the bracelet into Ouyang Wu's arms without saying anything.
Ouyang Wu had a bad feeling, and alarm bells were ringing in her heart. Ouyang Ying acted so hypocritically, was she just trying to show her sisterly love in front of everyone? Ouyang Wu felt that things were not that simple.
Before Ouyang Wu sneered and said, "Since good things should be shared with good sisters, then give this bracelet to me", she saw a trace of malicious smile in Ouyang Ying's eyes, and the bracelet actually fell vertically to the ground!
"Oops!" Ouyang Wu thought to herself, Ouyang Ying blocked everyone's sight just now, no one could see clearly who threw the jade bracelet, Ouyang Ying was going to put the blame on someone!
Before Ouyang Wu could react, Ouyang Ying screamed: "Fifth sister! What are you doing! Why did you break the jade bracelet that my father gave me?!"
Looking at the jade bracelet broken into five or six pieces on the ground, Ouyang Wu's face was as calm as water, but there was a mocking arc in the corner of her eyes, and she looked at Ouyang Ying who was performing in front of her with a smile.
Ouyang Ying's cry was extremely sharp, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the pavilion. Ouyang Xiu even lifted her skirt and swayed gracefully. She looked at the scene in front of her, slightly frowned her eyebrows, her big eyes were shining, and she said to Ouyang Wu with a hint of reproach: "Fifth sister, how can you do this? Daddy gave this bracelet to fourth sister because of her good homework. If you like it, I have another one here, and I can give it to you, but how can you do this?"
Without asking the cause and effect, they directly put the crime on her? The younger sister framed her, and the older sister confirmed the crime. The two sisters really cooperated perfectly. In this way, who else would believe her innocence?
Ouyang Wu looked normal, but a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. She defended herself in a low voice: "I didn't even touch the jade bracelet, how could it be broken? Third sister and fourth sister, are you always accusing people like this?"
I'm afraid that the jade bracelet was broken originally. In this way, she can not only clear herself, but also let Ouyang Wu take the blame for her. It's really a good calculation.
"Accusation? Ouyang Wu, do I, Ouyang Ying, need to accuse you?! It was obviously you who broke it, and you actually said I was accusing you! So many eyes are watching!" Ouyang Ying shouted loudly.
Ouyang Xiu's watery eyes flashed with a hint of reproach, and her delicate eyebrows were furrowed more tightly. There was also a hint of anger in her tone, "Fifth sister, it's fine if you don't admit it, but you actually blame us for framing you? When did you become like this? I am so disappointed in you."
Ouyang Wu's eyes curved, and she looked at the two sisters singing a double act in front of her with a smile. She wanted to see who else disliked her.
As she expected, after Ouyang Xiu and Ouyang Ying, the eldest brother Ouyang Xuan came running in. He had a handsome face with a gloomy and dark look, and a warning flashed in his eyes, "Fifth sister, why don't you apologize to the third and fourth sisters?!"
