195 Uneasy
Xu Qian's carriage first went around the downtown area, and then drove to a remote road, and the car slowly moved forward to a remote side gate of Ning Wangfu.
A month ago, when Xu Qian returned to Bianjing, he was sent to this door by the people of the county lord of Jiaren.
She put on her hat and got out of the carriage, told the coachman to park outside the alley, and knocked on the door herself.
Soon, a small maid opened the door, stretched out her head timidly, her big eyes turned around Xu Qian, her little hand held the door frame, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
Xu Qian frowned, she had already sent a message to the county lord of Jiaren, saying that she would come to King Ning's mansion to order tea today, but the county lord of Jiaren didn't send anyone to wait here!
The little maid had long eyelashes, and her eyes blinked like grapes, and she wanted to speak, but a hand reached behind her and dragged her in, and she screamed, and she could see that she had fallen to the ground through the gap in the door.
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
The woman who dragged the little maid down opened the door and looked at Xu Qian with a resentful expression, with a little impatience in her tone.
Xu Qian stared at the poorly dressed woman in front of her for a moment, took off her hat, and whispered the code.
When the woman heard this, her expression immediately changed, she was full of smiles, and complimented: "It turned out to be a guest of the county lord, I was rude just now, come in." ”
The woman hunched her waist and stretched out her hand to please.
Her sleeves were rolled up, leaving one of her forearms exposed, thick and red.
Apparently a rough servant of King Ning's Mansion.
Xu Qian thought that the county lord of Jiaren was asking a rough maidservant to receive her, and her originally good mood immediately became bad.
She followed the woman through the verandah. arrived outside the courtyard gate of the county lord of Jiaren.
The woman entered the hospital to report, and Xu Qian stood outside, looking at a few rhododendrons outside the courtyard. Somewhat distracted.
"This lady, the county lord is entertaining guests, please go to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers first, she will come to look for you after seeing the guests. The woman was wearing rough clothes, and she was a little cramped in front of the slim and delicately dressed Xu Qian, and the sleeves that were originally rolled up were also silently put down.
When Xu Qian heard this, she instantly frowned.
She and the county lord of Jiaren made an appointment to meet at this time. The county lord of Jiaren didn't arrange a person to guide the way, so how could he receive guests?
Could it be that someone suddenly came to find the county lord of Jiaren?
Thinking in his heart, he began to inquire about the woman in front of him: "You just went in to spread the word." Have you heard who the county lord of Jiaren is receiving?"
"I heard the big maid next to the county lord say that the county lord saw an embroidery girl surnamed Wu, who seemed to be preparing clothes for the flower viewing festival in a few days. The woman didn't know where to put her hands as she spoke, rubbed them twice in front of her and then put them behind her.
Xu Qian listened. Immediately realized that Jiaren County was seeing Wu Niangzi.
Since the birthday of the old lady of the Hu family half a month ago. Xu Qian regarded Wu Niangzi as a great enemy, an enemy like a promise.
The county lord of Jiaren actually let her suffer under this big sun for the sake of Wu Niangzi, what kind of flower appreciation, it is obviously a bully!
Xu Qian glared, looking angry, and saw the woman standing on the side couldn't help but take a step back.
As soon as her heart was crossed, she left the woman and walked towards the house of the county lord of Jiaren.
The woman looked at Xu Qian's back. Stunned in place, then reacted. immediately caught up and reminded in a low voice: "This lady, I will come to see you when the county lord sees you." She didn't want to be scolded by the county lord, she didn't want the child to be thrown out by the county lord, she wanted to stop this lady and not let this lady enter the house.
"I know. Xu Qian held the handkerchief, shook off the woman's outstretched hand, and ignored the obstruction of the maid outside the door, and broke in directly.
When she entered the house, the county lord of Jiaren and Mrs. Wu were talking happily, and both of them were full of smiles.
With Xu Qian's appearance, the laughter stopped.
Wu Niangzi stared at Xu Qian incredulously, and the main face of Jiaren County was a little surprised.
"Siniang, why don't you say anything when you come?" The county lord of Jiaren reacted quickly, stretched out his hand and motioned for Xu Qian to sit over, with an impeccable smile on his face.
When Wu Niangzi saw the county lord of Jiaren expressing her attitude, she had to purse her lips and smile, but she didn't say a word.
Xu Qian once wanted to ruin her reputation, and she would not deal with Xu Qian anymore.
Xu Qian felt that today's things were strange, but she didn't know what was wrong, and said coldly: "Jiaren, have you forgotten that you asked me to have tea with us today?"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Wu Niangzi.
The county lord of Jiaren looked as if he had just remembered something, clapped his hands and said: "If you don't say it, I will forget, it just so happens that Mrs. Wu is also here today, let us see your tea art." ”
After finishing speaking, he beckoned people to carry the tea set into the house.
Xu Qian listened to the words of the county lord of Jiaren, and her face couldn't help but show a little reluctance.
Mrs. Wu added luster to the promise at Mrs. Hu's birthday banquet, but this is the only one, she never wants Mrs. Wu to drink the tea she ordered in her life.
When Wu Niangzi saw the tea set, her brain buzzed, and her usual vigilance told her that she had to go.
"Jiaren County Lord, Siniang of the Xu family, I've been here for a long time today, it's time to go back, you taste it slowly, I'll go back first." After finishing speaking, he straightened his sleeves and stood up, saluted the county lord of Jiaren and left.
The county lord of Jiaren was not forced to stay, and after saying a word of caution on the road, he asked Wu Niangzi to go out.
After leaving King Ning's Mansion, Wu Niangzi's personal maid couldn't help asking: "Lady just arrived at King Ning's Mansion, why did she come out?"
Wu Niangzi sneered and said: "I used to think that the county lord of Jiaren was a little strange today, and he always spoke distractedly, as if he was waiting for something, but when there was movement in the courtyard, the corners of her mouth hooked, she thought that no one knew her thoughts, I had known her for so long, but I had already understood it." ”
Wu Niangzi's maidservant frowned and thought for a long time but didn't understand the meaning of Wu Niangzi's words, and finally asked: "I don't understand what Niangzi means." ”
Wu Niangzi didn't care about the messy hairstyle, leaned her head against the wall of the car, and said faintly: "Somehow, I panicked in my heart today, the county lord of Jiaren has always been a cautious person, she knew that there was a gap between me and Xu Siniang, but she arranged the meeting time together, obviously intentionally." I was originally skeptical, thinking that Xu Siniang came by herself, but I didn't expect the county lord of Jiaren to wave the maid to carry the tea set in, if it hadn't been prepared early, how could it be so fast? And if it wasn't for her intentional arrangement, Xu Siniang wouldn't have been able to break in at all, and she would have been stopped by Mama a long time ago. ”
"The reaction of the county lord of Jiaren in front of Xu Siniang just now was all pretending, she has lived in this kind of place since she was a child, and she has long been accustomed to disguise, Xu Qian can't see it at a young age, but I can see it clearly. ”
What is the county lord of Jiaren going to do with this arrangement?
"Will the county lord let you and that Xu Siniang release their suspicions?"
"Joke, I'm a person who holds grudges, the county lord of Jiaren won't know, it's impossible for me to forgive Xu Siniang. Moreover, I can see that Xu Siniang also regards me as a mortal enemy, and she will not let go of the previous things so easily. ”
Mrs. Wu had a wry smile on her face, so she whispered with the maid all the way and went home. (To be continued......)
