Chapter 190+191
Zhiruo looked at Xuan'er with a happy face, and quipped sourly: "Look, I don't think the gifts from the Pan Shizi brothers and sisters are so good, how can we make the three girls happy like this? ”
The two pink purses are said to be the gifts prepared by Pan Shuling, the second sister of the British Mansion and Pan Shizi's only sister-in-law. In addition, there is a vivid fine white porcelain fat cat, which is cute and cute, which makes Zhixuan love it. The purse for Bai Xue contained a pair of silver gilt bells that were obviously hanging from the dog's neck, yellow and shiny, with soft white snow satin, which was really suitable for Bai Xue without a single stray hair.
Pan Shizi also prepared a gift for Zhixuan, and when the gift came, Shijo explained for his master: "The three girls' three-sided large, medium and small glass round mirrors were bought by our prince from Western merchants, and the other set was given to our four girls. "This set of mirrors, the smallest is only the size of Zhixuan's palm, and it is very cheap to carry around, and the largest is similar to the copper mirror commonly used on the women's dresser of the Daying Dynasty, of course, it is too clear and bright!
Of course, Zhihui knew that the eldest sister was not really annoyed, she was just teasing Zhixuan, and she also drooped her face and cooperated: "No, it turns out that Xuan'er likes bead flowers, and I would not embroider a veil if I knew it." "There is a place to buy beautiful beads, so what kind of glass mirror is ...... In the past, my mother would ask people to buy some strange toys from Western merchants, but I really hadn't seen a glass mirror.
Zhixuan is a villain, where to eat two sisters? Still smiling: "How is it the same? You are my sister, the eldest brother and the sister of the Pan family are friends, whether it is a pearl flower or a mirror, it is the heart of a friend." "The sister of the Pan family has a heart, and she asked her eldest brother to bring gifts from afar, and they are all beautiful and cute things. Although they haven't met each other yet, she feels that the young lady named Pan Shuling is already her confidant, Brother Sijo said, the cute fine porcelain white cat is the fat cat raised by the sister of the Pan family, the queen mother let people burn a group of six according to the various demeanors of the fat family as a birthday gift for the sister of the Pan family, the sister of the Pan family is very baby, and she doesn't let people touch it on weekdays, but she didn't expect to give one to her this time, she was so moved!
Listening to Zhixuan's smiling defense, Zhiruo suddenly had a sour nose without warning, yes, after the family accident, Zhixuan basically has no friends of the same age, and children of this age are very eager for friends.
She arranged four little maids in Zhixuan's yard who were about the same age as her, or one or two years older, and also meant to find her playmates, but in this era, the concept of hierarchy was deep-rooted, and the gap between different classes was difficult to cross, how could they be friends? And with the situation that their Yin family was facing now, she couldn't put the person who didn't have a deed of sale on Zhuangzi and beside Zhixuan. Alas, it is no wonder that Zhixuan attaches so much importance to the child Pan Shuling, whom she has never met.
"Yes, yes, the hearts of friends are mutual," Zhiruo said with a smile, "When your eldest brother returns to Beijing, you should also prepare a special gift for him to bring to the younger sister." This white porcelain fat can be stored, and your syrup snow can't last long. ”
When Zhixuan heard this, she really frowned, so what should I do? Do you also burn a fine porcelain white snow? It's not good! It seems too insincere.
Zhihui has always been the best at understanding Zhixuan's careful thoughts, and pursed her lips: "Is it good to embroider white snow on both sides?" One side has a demeanor, which must be very flattering, "Second sister will help you embroider two double-sided embroidered fans, one for you and Miss Pan." Xiaoxue's demeanor is different on each fan. She also borrowed from the queen mother's set of six different expressions and fat ideas.
Zhixuan's eyes lit up, the chicken pecked at the little head like rice, and embroidered white snow on both sides? Isn't there four different white snow in the two paintings? Okay, good, she likes it!
Zhiruo also looked at Zhihui approvingly, double-sided embroidery is not easy to learn, fortunately, this sister has a talent for embroidery, and she is diligent in learning and practicing, she believes that it will not be long before Zhihui can really embroider double-sided embroidery snow. Because there is another advantageous condition for embroidering white snow, that is, the color is relatively small, hehe, it can be used as a good material for Zhihui to practice. With Zhihui's love for Zhixuan, if Zhixuan can be predicted, I am afraid that Zhixuan will have an unknown number of double-sided embroidered snow in the future: well-behaved, coquettish, quiet, running, and angry......
The sisters were laughing and talking warmly, and the magpie came in with a letter and a smile on her face. Before she could speak, Zhixuan rushed over excitedly: "Is it a letter from the eldest brother and the second brother? Are they coming back?"
The magpie smiled and replied, "Yes, the Shunfeng Dart Bureau just delivered." ”
Zhiruo took the letter from Zhixuan's hand, took a quick glance at it with the modern reading method of reading the contract, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Ze'er They have already walked more than half of the distance, and if you calculate it, it is estimated that you will be able to get home in more than ten days." Three girls who love to receive gifts, it is said that your two brothers bought you a lot of strange toys along the way. ”
Zhixuan raised her chin proudly: "That's for sure, the eldest brother and the second brother promised me before they left." "Especially the second brother, I love to buy gifts for her on weekdays, can I still buy them after walking so far? Well, there are also Grandpa Su and Grandpa Banshan, they also said that they would bring her gifts, if they forget it, hum, she will hide their wine and delicious food.
Zhiruo looked at the arrogant little peacock-like Zhixuan, shook her head funny, and was about to say something, but Rudong also came back: "Girl, Mother Cui from the Lin Governor's Mansion came over and sent some things from Beijing, by the way, Mother Cui also brought a lot of rewards to Aunt Tian, saying that Aunt Tian reminded their mother in time to help the Lin Mansion." ”
Ruchun sneered: "Even if she is reasonable, this time she has gained a lot of benefits!"
Zhiruo also smiled and said, "Magpie, you go and see if Don't forget if you are there, let him come over." Hui'er, you take Xuan'er back to Twist Plum Courtyard, the eldest sister has something to deal with. ”
Zhihui nodded and got up, and Zhixuan also sensibly quickly asked the maid to help her put away all her things, and went back to the Plum Courtyard to take a slow look. They all know that in order to make their siblings live a better and safer life, the eldest sister has a lot to do.
Rudong held his breath for a while, and when Zhihui and the two left with the maid, he pouted: "This time it's cheaper Lord Lin again, and it won't be long before I can be promoted back to Beijing." "As soon as she thought of the last time Mrs. Lin came over as a lobbyist and helped Concubine Zhao calculate some snacks, she was so angry, what kind of person, what a white-eyed wolf!
Ruchun gave her a roll of her eyes and whispered: "Don't you want to be cheap Governor Lin? Do we want to go to the store and arrest people ourselves? Or do we want to watch so many people being harmed by poisonous incense? I heard that there are still many people in the capital who ask people to buy butterfly seven incense from Los Angeles." Ah, I don't know if King Jing's Mansion and Tie Mansion will be among them, by the way, and Miss Xu will be among them. ”
In Ruchun's opinion, Jing Wangye and Tie Muyuan are both nobles of her girl, and they are still the kind who send charcoal in the snow at critical times. Especially Tie Muyuan, if it weren't for him, it would be difficult to say whether the girl would be able to go smoothly and leave that day. And Xu Qianran, the second daughter of the Xu family, is the girl's best friend, and she is also the only noble daughter of the Yin family who has still been in contact with the girl since the accident.
"......" Rudong opened his mouth to refute, but closed it with a "hum". She originally wanted to say that at least let the world know the exploits of her girl, isn't it? Fortunately, she is still a little sober, and remembers that Zhiruo said that they are now "not strong enough, they have no ability to protect themselves, and being too flamboyant is the rhythm of looking for death."
Entering the meeting room, Zhiruo said with a smile: "The instinct of human nature is to protect oneself first, speaking of which, Mrs. Lin's behavior last time was also normal, we are not related to her, why should she offend the Rui Wangfu for me, if it is not good, it will affect the future of Lord Lin, or even more." Since we arrived in Los Angeles, Lord Lin has taken care of a lot, otherwise we would definitely have encountered no less trouble. So, we don't have to worry about that thing all the time, just know it. "Not all the people who have benefited or befriended the Yin family and the Qi family will be as affectionate and righteous as Tie Muyuan, and some people can only be mutually beneficial collaborators, and it is good if they don't fall into the ground.
"But ......" Rudong is not angry after all, there is a kind of grievance that cannot be expressed with indignation, fortunately, she has always only looked at her girl's horse, since the girl said "It's good to have a number", it means that the girl has her own considerations. After a series of changes, the girl became more and more stable and capable, and what she could think of, the girl should have thought twice a long time ago.
In modern times, Zhiruo, who has experienced all kinds of human feelings and sophistication, really doesn't think much about Mrs. Lin's affairs, without it, I don't think it's necessary, it's mutually beneficial, but just keep an eye on it. What made her "think more" at this time was the fact that Qiu Ling's mother and daughter would follow them back to Los Angeles as mentioned in Ming Ze's letter.
The mother and daughter who "just happened" to meet their uncle and uncle Su Kang when they were forcibly sold to the building?
When Zhiruo first heard about this incident, she had a premonition that the mother and daughter would come to Los Angeles together, so she didn't feel strange today, what made her pay attention to Ming Ze's seemingly unrelated words: "Senior Brother Shi Xin was going to go all the way with us, but then the master asked him to go back to Beijing first", "Sister Ling wanted the master to take their mother and daughter to the capital to see the world, but the master didn't agree, saying that she was not available", "Sister Ling asked Senior Brother Haotian for a maid"......
Zhiruo frowned, this Qiu Ling really adapts quickly, and she is quite polite, a poor woman has become accustomed to the maid's waiting in just a few days, and she "fell in love at first sight" with a certain maid in Qi Hao's Heavenly Mansion?
Also, if Qiu Ling is really a chess piece arranged by someone with a heart, is it for their sister and brother, or is it ...... Shi Xin?
If you come to Meizhuang, the target is easier to guess, it should be the envelope that her father asked her to keep. In other words, the enemy family has not been blinded by what Yin Hui handed over, and how many of their sisters and brothers are targeted?
If you come to Shi Xin, what is the purpose?
I don't know why, Zhiruo really has a strong sixth feeling at this time: Qiu Ling is coming for Shi Xin, the first guard with a knife in front of the emperor.
That's it, Zhiruo shook his head, and now he can't guess the reason for random guessing, so let's wait for someone to arrive. In short, if you really want to come, you have to accept it, right? In any case, you can't lose the face of the old man in the middle of the mountain and Su Kang without evidence, and when the time comes, let Mo forget to stare at the master and servant of Qiu Ling. In addition, the last time she asked Yu Dayong to send someone to investigate the situation of the relatives in the old man's hometown in the middle of the mountain, there should be news back soon.
Seeing that Zhiruo suddenly frowned and shook his head thoughtfully, Mo Forget, who had just been welcomed in by Rudong, also frowned: "Girl, there's nothing wrong with the two young masters, right?" The Shunfeng Dart Bureau had just sent a letter, and he happened to have something to deal with at hand, so he asked the magpie to bring the letter back to Guanmei Courtyard.
"Well, no," Zhiruo said with a smile, "they're fine, they should be home in more than ten days." However, this time they brought back three people, the niece and her daughter of the old man in the middle of the mountain, and a maid, who may live in our Zhuangzi for a while, and you can arrange for someone to keep an eye on it at that time. ”
"Niece?" Mo Forget's brows furrowed even tighter, the old man in the middle of the mountain had also talked a lot about things when he was looking for him to drink, why did he never mention any niece? Didn't he say that his relatives were all in his hometown, and he lived alone in the Mid-Levels Villa? He went south to drink happy wine, but brought back a niece from the northwest? Could it be that his niece couldn't find him, but he knew that Qi Haotian was his apprentice, so he went to the Qi family in the South China Sea to find his relatives, right?
If that's all there is, why is the girl frowning and shaking her head?
Don't forget to ask more, and responded directly: "Don't worry, girl, I know what to do." He has always been cautious, and he will take a different approach to everyone who enters the Zhuangzi, and he will "pay attention" to it differently for a while, until the suspicion is completely eliminated, including Mr. Su Kang and the old man in the middle of the mountain.
Zhiruo nodded: "I don't have to worry about you doing things, by the way, what happened to the Ye family's mother and daughter?"
"It's all arranged," Mo Forget replied, "It seems that the two of them are in a hurry, but it is estimated that they should start to rush to find Langzhong at this time." ”
Zhiruo pursed his lips, what will happen to the two close sisters of the Ye family and the Ji family this time? Biting each other, or is it the same to the outside world? In any case, Qiu Yiran is going to be planted again! The more he wants to climb up, the more she wants him to fall, and he will fall more and more violently every time. R1152
