Chapter 43: A Narrow Encounter
When the three of them were joking, a sound of laughter came, Bai Shu looked at the voice, and when she saw the person, she couldn't help frowning, and then returned to her original dignified and elegant appearance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Third cousin, you are here! so that we can find it!" a girl with a lily bun smiled, wearing an apricot yellow shirt embroidered with small spring flowers, a green pleated skirt, a peach cloud brocade shawl on her shoulders, and a delicate jade cicada worn by a red ribbon hanging from her waist.
"Cousin Shiozuki. Compared with the girl's enthusiasm, Bai Shu's attitude can be described as cold.
"What's the matter, cousin, don't you have two outsiders?" A domineering voice came from the mouth of the girl next to Wei Xiyue, and Cui Jiayin was expressionless, glancing at it casually as if she was looking at some crazy person.
The girl was stimulated by the naked disdain in Cui Jiayin's eyes, and sneered: "Yes, it's too late for the girl of the Cui family to please her! How could she think of a cousin who has a pitiful background in the middle of the family?"
"Huo Huanting, is it possible that a girl as big as you has not learned the rules?" Cui Jiayin squeezed: "What does it look like to be so noisy!"
"Wan Ting, don't ...... like this" Wei Xiyue persuaded, the look on her face made people feel pity, if Cui Jiayin was not the person concerned, Xu would still be deceived by her!
I don't know if Wei Xiyue's ability to pretend to be too high, or Huo Huanting's ability to pretend to be too high, or Huo Huanting's person is too brainless, Huo Huanting even hugged her upset: "Sister Xiyue, don't persuade me, I can't get used to her for a long time! They talk about you like this, obviously they don't take you seriously! Anyway, you are also a cousin, not to mention whether your status is expensive or not, can you still disrespect your sister as a younger sister? What are the rules?!"
Cui Jiayin squinted, looked at the angry Huo Huanting and the pitiful Wei Xiyue on the side, and suddenly felt funny, she raised her delicate chin slightly, deliberately put on an arrogant look, and sneered: "What are you doing? What did we say? Why did you bully this delicate and expensive cousin? It's boring for you to do this, I haven't said anything!"
"You!" Huo Huanting was angry, shook off Wei Xiyue's hand, and was about to rush up to reason with Cui Jiayin, but was stopped by Lin Jingzhi, who had been standing aside and watching the show.
Lin Jingzhi glanced at Wei Xiyue with a smile, the meaning of ridicule and warning in her eyes couldn't be more obvious, Wei Xiyue hurriedly lowered her head, a flash of embarrassment and shame on her face was seen through, and she quietly clenched her fists.
Huo Huanting looked at the sleeves of her clothes that were pulled by Lin Jingzhi, and said angrily, "Cousin, what are you stopping me for?"
Huo Huanting's mother and Lin Jingzhi's mother are sisters of the same mother, Lin Jingzhi's mother followed the family's choice to marry the Marquis of Changping, and Huo Huanting's mother fell in love with Huo Qiqing, the little-known youngest son of Weiyuan Marquis at that time.
Huo Huanting and Cui Jiayin have not dealt with Bai Shu since they were children, and there is also this reason. She is a girl from the Hou Mansion, and she has an aunt who is Mrs. Hou of Changping, in her eyes, her background is no worse than Cui Jiayin and them, so she also dares to argue with Cui Jiayin.
But she didn't think that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was just a down-and-out family, and the Cui family was the head of the family, even if the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion still had a trace of confidence, would she still dare to fight with the Cui family?
And thinking about relying on the Marquis of Changping is even more ridiculous. Protecting you, that is also without involving your own interests, if it endangers herself, her aunt, who is Mrs. Hou, will be the first to throw off her burden.
A trace of disgust flashed in Lin Jingzhi's eyes, he was really stupid, couldn't he see that others were setting up a trap? It's just that this disgust was also fleeting, so Huo Huanting didn't find anything wrong.
"Wan Ting, Miss Cui is joking with you, what are you doing like this?" Lin Jingzhi smiled gently and quietly, looking like a sensible lady.
"Cousin, where is she joking with me? It's clearly a provocation!" Huo Huanting didn't understand her hard work, and retorted.
Lin Jingzhi and this so-called cousin have only been together for a few days, and there is no sisterhood at all, so the persuasion is just for the sake of her aunt, offending the owner of the Bai family's territory, which is not good for her reputation.
Now that she doesn't listen, why should she persuade again?
She just wanted to leave it alone, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure on the rockery, and a smile suddenly appeared on her slightly cold face.
Lin Jingzhi pulled Huo Huanting to Bai Shu and Cui Jiayin, and apologized to Huo Huanting in a proper manner, saying: "It's Huanting's fault, Bai Girl and Cui Girl are still young for Huanting's sake, don't worry about her." ”
Cui Jiayin raised his eyebrows, didn't he still shout his sister's affection last time? This time, he called Miss Cui.
When Huo Huanting heard Lin Jingzhi's apology, she thought that she had lost her face and made herself lose her prestige in front of Cui Jiayin, so she said angrily: "Cousin, why do you apologize to them!"
Cui Jiayin didn't know why Lin Jingzhi suddenly changed her mind, and when she saw the disagreement between the two sisters, she smiled gently, and said understandingly: "It seems that Miss Lin's sister is unwilling! ”
Lin Jingzhi listened and said with a smile: "Miss Cui is not out of sight like this?"
Then he glared at Huo Huanting again, and whispered, "Have you forgotten what your aunt told you?"
When Huo Huanting heard this, she shrunk her neck and didn't dare to speak again. When she went out, her mother asked her to listen to her cousin, and if her mother knew that she had quarreled with Cui Jiayin again, and she hadn't listened to her cousin, she would definitely not be able to escape the beating. Although Huo Qiqing is a gentle scholar and has never had any requirements for Huo Huanting, he can't bear that Mrs. Huo is a stern person, and firmly believes that "filial piety comes from under the stick", and she doesn't care that Huo Huanting is a girl's family, she will beat her if she makes a mistake, and she will never be soft.
Although he was unwilling, thinking of Mrs. Huo's stick education, he had no choice but to stare at Cui Jiayin and them, and there was no other action.
Lin Jingzhi smiled with satisfaction, turned her head and asked Bai Shu and Cui Jiayin, "Are these girls satisfied?"
"Well," Cui Jiayin nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Since Miss Lin and Huo Huanting have a deep sisterhood, then I will also tell her more rules, I heard that Miss Lin's rules are excellent, and there is no such big difference between sisters." ”
When Lin Jingzhi heard the rules, she remembered the last time Cui Jiayin kindly reminded her in Baixiu Building, she hated her in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she still looked gentle, and said: "Miss Cui said that she was laughing, Wanting is just young, and it will be good when she grows up." ”
