Chapter 146: Embroidered Straw Bag
Akisui-in.
Mrs. Xiao was half-lying on the bed, looking at her angry daughter, with a faint sense of loss in her eyes.
"Mother, you don't know, that, that Doctor Wei is so annoying, I'm so angry!"
"I told you to have more contact with Dr. Wei, not to ask you to make enemies with him. ”
Mrs. Xiao looked at her willful daughter, a little powerless.
In order not to let her daughter become a bargaining chip for the Xiao family, she deliberately cultivated Xiao Shuangshuang into a willful and domineering but heartless eldest lady.
Now, it has really become an embroidered pillow, and she can't help but regret it.
Lack of success, more than failure.
"Where is I going to make an enmity with him, I deliberately chatted with him and coaxed him to talk, but what about him, he didn't pay a word to me at all, oh, just ignored me, and said that I was a blessing!"
Xiao's eyes are slightly red, she has been beautiful since she was a child, and she is the daughter of the Xiao family's room, and her grandfather is a member of the court from Liupin, none of the daughters in the second room of the Xiao family dare to say goodbye to her, and the little sisters who play together outside are also for her and coax her, and those young men are even more polite and polite to her, where have you ever encountered such treatment?
Mrs. Xiao frowned without a trace, suppressed the boredom in her heart, and patted her daughter's shoulder, "Okay, talk to my mother, what's going on?"
Xiao Shuangshuang wiped his tears and began to describe.
"Mother, I said according to what you taught, I said to read, he didn't ask me what books I read, how can I continue? I said dancing and playing the piano, but he didn't answer, what can I do? I also deliberately asked the girl to take my piano, thinking that I could show my piano skills? But he didn't pay attention to people at all!"
The girl sat on the edge of the bed in frustration, clasping her fingernails.
"I'm low, I do what he likes, and I care about him with a cheeky face, alas...... He won't talk to me, I, what am I going to do?"
Mrs. Xiao listened to her chatter, and the boredom in her heart was a little uncontrollable.
It's not wrong to use a straw bag to describe her as a daughter.
It's also a pretty appearance that can attract a little boy who hasn't gone through the world, like Wei Wangchu, a mature man who has gone through thousands of sails and seen all the flowers in the world-
Alas, mature men love more**.
I hope Wei Wangchu can like this kind of scheming white, young, and stupid.
Even if it doesn't work, in the end, give Xiao Shuangshuang a long lesson, which is more useful than her being a mother and her nagging a hundred wise words.
Seeing that her mother was looking at her in a daze, the girl didn't react at all to her, and couldn't help but pull up her sleeves, revealing her smooth white jade-like arms and the red cinnabar.
"You said that my cinnabar mole is like a red bean set on white jade, I, I showed it to him, but he still didn't react at all, what can I do?"
Mrs. Xiao laughed dumbly, and laughed angrily.
"My silly girl. ”
She resisted the desire to pinch her daughter's neck, raised her hand and touched her head.
"It's all my mother who didn't make it clear to you. Chat with him, care about his body, and inadvertently show him your beautiful body, such as your delicate dice, it can only be when two people are alone, so many people, how can you show a large area of skin?"
Xiao Shuangshuang glared at his mother unconvinced.
"That, then the scabs on my face haven't faded yet, it may not look good, he doesn't know that my skin is actually white and smooth, smooth and delicate, I, I'll show him an arm, and when my face is better, it will look as good as an arm." ”
Mrs. Xiao looked at the seven or eight scabs on her daughter's face, and said against her will: "Although you have scabs on your face, it doesn't affect your beauty, you want to show him your skin, you have to divide the occasion, if he gives you a pulse alone, it will be no problem, after all, there are so many people guarding it, and his apprentices, think about it, what reaction he can give you?"
Xiao Shuangshuang lowered his head.
"Men, the woman you like is nothing more than that, when you go out of the hall, you are a dignified and polite lady, and when you enter the bedroom, you have to become a delicate and pretty, seductive goblin, you directly pull up your sleeves in front of everyone, what does this look like?"
"What then? It's already pulled up. ”
Xiao Shuangshuang only felt embarrassed at this moment, and he was about to cry.
Mrs. Xiao shook her head, "It's okay, fortunately, there are no others, your brother and your cousin are not foreign men, he didn't speak doesn't mean he didn't see it, your white jade arm red bean cinnabar, compared to the buds and buds, you must also be impressed." ”
Changing into a playful smile, the woman said again: "Perhaps, Dr. Wei has never seen such a bold and arrogant lady as you, and I was taken aback by you, but it is easier to remember it." ”
Xiao Shuangshuang burst into tears and laughed.
Twisting and leaning on the woman, "Mother, is he really as powerful as you say?" I see that he is dressed in homespun clothes, and the one who pulls his hair is only a wooden hairpin, which really doesn't look special. ”
"You can't just look at the surface, some people are dressed in fine clothes, but in fact, the inside has long been hollowed out, whether it is the family background or himself, it is an embroidered pillow that generally cannot withstand scrutiny. ”
Mrs. Xiao sighed, it was she who taught her crookedly.
"You haven't been to the capital, do you say that those first-class and second-grade masters are all brocade robes when they don't go to court?"
The girl took it for granted, they were all first-class members, how could they still wear cloth robes?
"They usually wear half-used plain clothes and robes, and even the furniture and objects used at home are half-used, but often these half-used things, each of which may have a provenance, and the value is much higher than those fresh things. ”
The girl looked incredulous.
Mrs. Xiao closed her eyes, "Do you know what the wooden hairpin on Dr. Wei's head is?"
What else could it be, it was a finger-thick piece of broken wood.
"It is the golden sandalwood exorcism hairpin that the southern fan country paid tribute to the emperor, and it is said that it can avoid hundreds of insects and thousands of ants, and drive away evil ghosts. ”
The girl's eyes opened slightly, so powerful?
"This kind of wood can only grow in the hot country of the extreme south, and it can only grow for one or two months a year when the climate is slightly cooler, and the rest of the time, it is closed and dormant, and often it does not grow a finger thickness for ten years, so you can imagine how precious it is?"
Such a precious? Sure enough, people can't be disgraced.
Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, and after a while, he looked puzzled again.
"Since it can only grow in a slightly cool climate, why don't you plant it in our northern country?
"This wood is not cold-tolerant, not to mention winter, even the cool breeze of spring and autumn can freeze it to death. ”
"That's wood, too, and it's more expensive than gold?"
A sneer hung on the corner of Madam Xiao's mouth.
"Gold? wood is much more expensive than gold, and there is another kind of duck that is more expensive than gold, and it is difficult to find a duck for a thousand gold, have you ever heard of it?"
Duck?
Xiao Shuangshuang shook his head, a pair of eyes as big as a copper bell, didn't it turn into when he ate it in his stomach, and he still wanted a daughter?
"There is a kind of crispy duck in the capital, it is said that the entrance is polarized, the taste is excellent, and it is sought after by the princes and nobles, but this duck is grown up eating cordyceps, which is extremely difficult to raise, and some nobles can't ask for a crispy duck even if they give up their daughters. ”
Mrs. Xiao shook her head, "It's far away, it's all about the nobles in the capital, people like us, don't think about it, you can't buy it with money." ”
Before Xiao Shuangshuang could say anything, he heard the girl knock lightly outside the door.
"What?"
"Madam, the eldest young master is here, and the eldest master invites you to go to the study together. ”
Xiao Shuangshuang also wanted to listen to the affairs of the powerful people in the capital by his mother, so he pulled her and said, "Let my father and brothers go to discuss, mother, you can tell me about the affairs of the capital again." ”
Mrs. Xiao glanced at her solemnly.
"As soon as your second brother came back, he dragged your father into the study, and now he invited your eldest brother over, and invited me again, it must be an important thing, Shuangshuang, you can mess around on weekdays, but you have to remember that you must always distinguish between priorities and priorities. ”
As soon as Mrs. Xiao entered the study, she saw Uncle Xiao and Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu's brothers Gu is face condensed, her heart trembled, and she asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Wu helped his mother sit down and explained Wei Wangchu's words in detail in the afternoon.
The woman's heart sank even more, and the girl pulled her to talk for a long time, but she didn't even mention a word about Gu worms, only thinking about whether the man was rich and noble, and whether he ignored her.
No matter how heavy it is!
was already a little top-heavy and a little irritable, but at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when I was excited by this news.
shook slightly, and leaned on Xiao Wu.
Uncle Xiao looked at her and said to Xiao Wu: "I said don't tell your mother, her body can't stand it!"
Xiao Wu looked at his mother in embarrassment, but he didn't squeak.
Mrs. Xiao waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "So, someone is trying to use Gu worms to control our big house?"
The crowd nodded.
"Go and call Miss. ”
The woman glanced at Uncle Xiao, "Capture the thief and capture the king first, if it were me, I would choose to give you a Gu to you, master." ”
In a blink of an eye, he looked at Xiao Wen again, "It's just that Wen'er is the head of the last children's test triple, and the probability of next year's Qiuqiu High School is also very high, and he is the grandson of the Xiao family, representing the future of the Xiao family's officialdom, if he controls Wen'er, he controls the future of the Xiao family." ”
Xiao Wen shook his head, "Clear-eyed people know how my name as the head of the case came from, but Wu'er, now following the second uncle in business, has begun to emerge, several of my classmates, all have heard of the name of the second young master of the Xiao family, to be honest, Wu'er is the future helmsman of the Xiao family." ”
Mrs. Xiao bowed slightly, and turned her head to look at Xiao Wu, "How many percent of the Xiao family's business have you come into contact with now?"
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, "Forty percent." If you talk to the second uncle about the Lu family's business again in the next few days, there will be seven or eight of them, but the second uncle told me today that his meeting with Lu Ye was canceled, and I don't know why. ”
The woman's heart moved, "Ask someone to follow your second uncle secretly to see if he continues to meet with Lu Ye." ”
Xiao Wu waved his hand, "Second Uncle just went out in a hurry, and he may not come back tonight." ”
"Isn't it?mother, do you suspect the second uncle?"
Mrs. Xiao didn't speak, but the faces of Uncle Xiao and Xiao Wen sank together.
Since ancient times, the royal family has no family affection, their big house is obsessed with scientific research, and the wealth of the Xiao family is occupied by the second room, but there is no queen in the second room, and the Xiao family is bound to fall into the hands of the big house.
What if Second Master Xiao suddenly started to guard against Xiao Wu?
"Could it be that the second uncle has descendants?"
At this point, the faces of everyone in the room couldn't help but darken.
Xiao Shuangshuang arrived soon, and when she saw the expressions of the four people, she was stunned, she didn't make a big mistake today, could it be that the thing she pretended to be controlled by Gu worms was exposed?
I stood there anxiously waiting for my hair to fall, when my mother asked, "Did you steal something the other day?"
Steal?
That's not a big mistake, is it?
At least it's much better than pretending to be controlled by Gu worms and scolding your mother.
Nodding uneasily, "I, I ate Daddy's bowl of old ginseng soup." ”
"Hmm, my daily ginseng soft-shelled turtle soup has never been broken. ”
Uncle Xiao was stunned, since he was sick last winter, he has been taking a bowl of old ginseng soft-shelled turtle soup every day to replenish his body, and he has never broken it.
Xiao Shuangshuang looked at him timidly, "I, I drank it, and I was afraid that my father would blame me, so I filled it with old ginseng chicken soup and filled it." ”
