Chapter 99: Appointment
The Qingfeng House these days has been much quieter than before, for no other reason than that the owner of this courtyard has become extremely sleepy recently.
"Isn't Miss awake yet?" In front of the courtyard gate of Qingfeng Residence, Cuiluo, who had just come back with the monthly silver, asked in a low voice, with a melancholy on her face that could not be concealed.
The little girl guarding the gate of the courtyard looked around cautiously before lowering her voice and said: "No, Miss doesn't know what's going on these days, except for going to Mr. Chu's class, Ping Suli is asleep for most of the hour, even if she is awake, the whole person looks very tired." ”
The little girl's reply was expected by Cuiluo, she pursed her lips and didn't speak again, but her face became more and more ugly.
"Sister Cui, you are the most face-saving in front of the eldest lady, and you have to take care of the young lady's body more. Miss is a very good person, and she never treats us servants as people, and I am really worried......"
Cuiluo gently patted the little girl's shoulder to reassure, "This is nature." ”
The leaves of an evergreen tree not far away trembled, and soon regained its composure.
Xu Lian has been living a quiet life recently, in fact, she has been so idle since she first returned to the Su family. Returning to Su Mansion, although Su Qingyuan lifted her grounding, she did not restore her stewardship, and now she is probably the most leisurely of all the wives.
Today, however, there are some exceptions. Her precious son Su Jun, who is away all the year round, rarely goes back to the house today, Xu Lian got up early in the morning and personally urged the people in the kitchen to start preparing Su Jun's favorite food, and asked the people to clean up the hibiscus, and even specially asked for a few pots of orchids from the flower room.
As Su Qingyuan's only son, Su Jun was born to take on the responsibility of inheriting the Su family's business, but Su Qingyuan was a little different from other fathers, he completely handed over the right to choose to Su Jun, and it was all up to him to choose as an official and a businessman. Su Jun has been fond of reading since he was a child, and he has no interest in business, so he spends most of his time in the school.
"Wait, move the flower a little more. Maybe she was in a hurry, or maybe she paid too much attention to Su Jun's return to the house, Xu Lian not only personally supervised the kitchen, but she also paid attention to such a small thing as arranging flowers.
"Ma'am, there's news. A little maid hurriedly entered the Fuyuan Hall, went straight to the place where Xu Lian was, and just saw Xu Lian and came to her and whispered.
There are naturally many kinds of this news, Xu Lian responded absentmindedly, and motioned for the maid to continue.
Before dawn, the slave maid stood behind an evergreen tree in front of the courtyard of Qingfeng Residence, and finally heard that it was the eldest lady's personal maid Cui Luo who talked about the door, looking at her appearance, the eldest lady's situation must not be better. ”
It is not an exaggeration to say that Qingfengju's precautions are as solid as an iron bucket, Xu Lian can't put people in at all, not only that, but the maids and women in Qingfengju are also very tight, so Xu Lian had to send someone to guard in front of the courtyard gate in order to hear some useful news.
"That little slut, don't you think you can hide it from everyone? Recently, she has been going to Xie Pei less often, if it weren't for her physical discomfort with her temperament, it would definitely not be like this. She wants to hide the news, isn't she afraid that I will take the opportunity to be unfavorable to her?" Speaking of this, Xu Lian couldn't help but hook her lips and snorted coldly, "Even if she doesn't say it, don't try to hide it from me." ”
The maid who was sent by Xu Lian to find out the news was just a more useful maid under Xu Lian's hands, and she was not a confidant, so Xu Lian did not tell her the whole story, and after telling her to go down to receive the reward, she asked Zhiqin to come over.
There are so many maids and daughters-in-law in Furui, but the only one Xu Lian can see is pleasing to the eye, but there is only one Zhiqin. Not to mention that this maid is smart and clever, she is also extremely loyal to her, especially after experiencing the time when she went out to do business with Su Qingyuan, Xu Lian became more and more serious about her.
"Ma'am. Zhiqin quickly rushed over and bowed his head to Xu Lian.
"That little slut is really poisoned, you go and help me make an appointment to meet the master of the Song family, the sooner the better, if he doesn't want to see me, you will report the name of the Xu family." ”
"Yes. Zhiqin said obediently.
Xu Lian felt more and more relieved in her heart, and when she saw her henchman in front of her, she couldn't help but say a few more words: "I want to see if that little slut can be arrogant for a few days, and then there will be a time when she kneels and begs me." She really thought I was trying to frame her, and she thought too highly of herself! But this time, thanks to the poison I had begged from my mother. ”
Zhiqin thought deeply of the last sentence in Xu Lian's words, that Mrs. Xu was not a simple character.
"Mother, the child has returned. The child's unique crisp voice came, and Xu Lian's body couldn't help but tremble when she heard it.
Xu Lian was almost scared out of sweat, "Jun'er, you, what did you hear?"
Like all mothers in the world, Xu Lian didn't want her son Su Jun to see the side she was hiding in front of people, even though Su Jun was only a ten-year-old child, she was still a little worried about whether he would listen to her words. Xu Lian, who was relieved, glanced at the maid who was sent by herself to take care of Su Jun, and the chill in her eyes was quite terrifying.
"Mother don't blame them, I begged them not to be polite, Jun'er wanted to surprise her mother. "Su Jun is much taller than children of the same age, because he lives in the school all the year round, his temperament is more independent, and he is much more mature than his peers.
"That's right. When facing Su Jun, Xu Lian could still see half of the anger on her face, "Okay, well, my mother listens to Jun'er, don't blame them." ”
While talking, he didn't forget to glance at Zhiqin.
Zhiqin, who understood, immediately bowed down and retreated.
……
After having lunch with Su Jun and resting for a few hours, Su Jun was about to rush back to the school, and Xu Lian personally sent him to the school on the grounds that he was reluctant to give up his son.
The mother and son said goodbye at the door of the school, but Su Jun, who saw Su Jun entering the school, had no intention of going back home immediately.
"Master Song is busy, why did you agree to meet me so quickly?" On the carriage that ran to Fumanlou, Xu Lian opened her mouth in a deep voice.
Zhiqin said with a calm expression: "It's a coincidence that Master Song happened to be entertaining guests in the Drunken Immortal Building, and after the slave conveyed his wife's instructions to Master Song this morning, he didn't hesitate for too long to agree." ”
"There are many people in the Drunken Immortal Building, but they can also hide people's eyes. Xu Lian is no stranger to the name Zuixian Building, this one is one of the best restaurants in Yizhou.
Xu Lian rushed to the door of the Drunken Immortal Building after a while, and before she got off the carriage, a person dressed as a small maid stepped forward to ask her identity, and after learning her identity, he led her to a private room on the second floor.
Because of their identity, Xu Lian and Song Zhentang have met many times, but this is the first time they have met in private.
"Master Song. Xu Lian calmly entered the private room, and bowed to Song Zhentang with a slight smile.
Song Zhentang also symbolically returned the salute.
"Ming people don't say secret words in front of them, the concubine came this time to talk about a business with Master Song. ”
