Xian Yi didn't speak in the inner room, listening to Chen's mother talking alone for a long time, she was kind and persuasive and begging, and finally talked about Aunt Yan, saying that Aunt Yan had spent half of her savings over the years for this matter, which was thousands of taels of silver, just for her marriage, her reputation, if she lived up to Aunt Yan's intentions, those silver would be lost.

Chanyi couldn't help frowning even tighter, it seems that when Aunt Yan was housekeeping, she made a lot of money from it, otherwise how could she have saved so much money, years of savings, thinking about the money prepared by the Xia family, a daughter is only three thousand taels, and a few thousand taels were spent at once, and I don't know if Aunt Yan would feel distressed.

I heard Xian Yi say again: "When will the prince go out of the city?"

Chen's mother said: "I heard that I will not leave until the Shangyuan Festival, and I will go to the temple to worship the Buddha during the Shangyuan Festival......"

After saying half of the words, she was afraid that she would talk about the temple, so she refused to go, and immediately said: "That temple is not far from Guang'an Temple, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the ladies of each family will not be detained by the elders at home, you ask the old lady again, presumably the old lady will not be so unreasonable, and then the side lady will think of letting you meet the prince, you can rest assured." ”

Chanyi felt quite funny when she heard it outside, and she didn't know if Aunt Yan was too naïve, or if Mother Chen was too simple, if the prince's itinerary could be found out so lightly, then the prince didn't know how many times he had died, this was clearly a trap, but Aunt Yan was still stupid to push Xian Yi out, and she didn't want to think that if the prince was really so calculating, the east palace where the prince lived would have been filled with women for a long time, where would it be the turn of a concubine from a four-grade civil official family like Xian Yi to pick up the bargain.

Xian Yi said lightly: "I know, you went back to my mother, and said that I have to prepare for this matter." ”

Mother Chen nodded and said, "Miss, don't be confused, this is a great thing......

Having said this, Chanyi didn't have the idea of listening, and coughed heavily outside, "Sister Xian, are you there?"

There was no sound in the inner room immediately, and there was a gentle sound of footsteps in the outer room, which made Xian Yi's heart jump in a panic.

Then Chan Yi's words with a little self-talk came into the inner room.

“…… It's strange, there's no one in the yard, there's no one in the house, is it because you've gone out of the house?"

If Xian Yi doesn't respond, Chan Yi will say that if she goes out of the house, she won't see the concierge come to pick up the car and report it...... Almost at the same time, Xian Yi replied, "Yes, I'm here." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain of the inner room, looked at Chanyi, and rubbed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, making it look like he had just woken up.

"I just made a little red, and my eyes were a little astringent, so I went to the inner room to lie down, is there anything wrong with the second sister looking for me?"

Chanyi smiled lightly, didn't tear her down, and put the box in her hand on the table.

"I don't know if you can't live in the habit, here was originally my grandmother planned to stay in the summer, and a row of bamboos was planted outside, every summer, the wind blows through the bamboo forest and always makes a rustling sound, but people can calm down, that is, it is a little cold in winter, I deliberately dialed some silver frost charcoal to the meditation house, just entered the house and found that the earth dragon burned very warm, do you have frozen?"

Chan Yi said as she spoke, and then said to the maid outside, "I walked all the way just now, why didn't I see a maid woman? There was no one in the house, what was going on? I remember that I deliberately asked Feng Youwang's family in the house to come and take care of the yard, but they were lazy and slippery?"

As he spoke, he taught her a lesson, and his tone was quite like the meaning of the eldest sister: "...... No matter how you are the master of the house, how can you let them be powerful and blessed on your head? If there are those who are disobedient, you tell me, I will just throw them out, and then I will pick some clever ones to send to you here, but don't learn those things that are not on the table, thinking that it is lenient and generous to indulge your subordinates in this way, and you are sending your own face to others to beat people, and if you don't stand up, even your subordinates will not look down on you. ”

Xian Yi was afraid that she would hear what they said in the room just now, so no matter what Chan Yi said now, she didn't dare to argue, so she had to nod obediently and say yes.

But Chen's mother heard it clearly in the inner room, where is the second miss talking about the fourth miss, it is simply an insinuation that Mrs. Fang can't be on the stage, she was angry when she heard it, and couldn't help but want to go out to argue with the second miss, but she didn't go out just now, if she went out now, the second miss would have to suspect the head of Mrs. Fang, if it was bad for Mrs. Fang, I was afraid that Mrs. Fang would be even more sullen in the future, thinking of this, she held back her breath and kept silent in the inner room.

Chanyi couldn't help but want to laugh, Xian Yi couldn't understand the words, Chen's mother may not understand, just Chen's mother was already angry in her words, I'm afraid this time I'm even more angry, but she was angry, but she couldn't come out to argue, otherwise she would have to bear her questioning, and if she was in a hurry, I was afraid that some things would be exposed, and if Aunt Yan's matter was ruined, Chen's mother would definitely have trouble sleeping.

People, that's it, if you have something to worry about, you will take care of it, and if you take care of it, you will be afraid, and it's the same for everyone.

She looked at Xian Yi and pushed the box to her, not bothering to fight her again, "Look at the thing you left behind." ”

Xian Yi was still nervous, but when she suddenly said something like this, she suddenly thought of what was in the box, and was so shocked that she immediately went to open the box with her hands and feet, but because she was too flustered, the box was not taken properly, and it fell to the ground at once.

"Dangchang", the contents of the box were thrown out, the bright red of the water was the silk she liked, she looked at it, and couldn't help but think of the situation that day, the young man's hand roamed over her, like a poisonous snake, Zizi spit out the core, those words seemed to be still in her ears, so that her whole person couldn't stop shaking, tears rushed out, crying silently.

Chanyi looked at her like this, sighed deeply, and hoped that after this incident, she would be able to have a long memory, and not be used by others every time to do something that she regretted.

Chan Yi whispered to Jin Se: "You go and bring a brazier." ”

Jin Se nodded and went down to prepare, and after a while he came in with a brazier, and there were a few burnt red carbons in it, and the fire looked vigorous.

Chanyi glanced at Xian Yi, who was still crying, frowned slightly, took out a few handkerchiefs of Xian Yi, handed them to her, and her tone was a little disgusted: "Okay, don't you take it all back, why are you crying? ”

Xian Yi held the handkerchief and wiped her tears, she thought that she would never be able to turn over again in her life, and was held with such a handle in her hands, even if the young man's life and death in the palace were uncertain, she would not have a good family come to the door to ask for marriage, otherwise the aunt would not have come up with such an idea, let her be a concubine for the prince, and wanted to use the prince to press the young man, so that the young man obediently grasped the things to hand over, so she saw this pocket clothes now, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

As soon as the person relaxed, his words were a little out of proportion: "Second sister, you don't know, I'm so afraid, I dream of that day every night, he just holds my pocket in his hand like that, and he ...... me like that"

Chanyi's brows furrowed even tighter, she dared to say such things in front of her subordinates, if it was known to everyone, why did she bother so much?

Chan Yi stretched out her hand and covered Xian Yi's unfinished words, and glared at her, "What nonsense? Isn't your pocket clothes dirty? Don't you hurry up and burn it, the brazier can't stay in the house for too long, otherwise it's easy to get carbon gas, don't rub it." ”

A sentence pulled Xian Yi's chaotic thoughts back, Chan Yi was helping her conceal, she nodded hurriedly, picked up the piece of cloth and threw it directly into the brazier, the carbon in the brazier immediately melted the cloth, the flames rushed up at once, and in a moment the clothes were burned into powder, leaving only some black powder on the charcoal fire, and nothing else was left.

Xian Yi finally put her heart back, her expression was relieved, and she raised her eyes to look at Chan Yi, the Chan Yi in front of her was only the same age as her, but her eyes flashed with a calm light, calm and calm, it seemed that everything was under control, no matter how others calculated her, she would be easily resolved by her in the end, but the wound on her neck she saw clearly that day, so deep and so heavy, how could she dare to be so ruthless to herself?

Xian Yi has always been very disgusted with Chan Yi pressing her everywhere, but after this incident, although she still dislikes Chan Yi, she has to say in her heart that she is indeed stronger than herself, and the one that is calm and cruel to herself just overpowered her, so that she has to be convinced.

Thinking that her handle was also taken back by her so lightly, she looked at Chanyi's eyes, and felt a little more awe, thinking that she would not dare to calculate her again in the future, otherwise she didn't know what kind of fate she would end.

She saw that the clothes had been burned, and she turned around and said a few words to Xian Yi, "The New Year is coming soon, don't cause any more trouble, what happened in our family this year has been enough and messy, and it is more important than anything else to pass this year. ”

Every word is for Xian Yi's consideration, Xian Yi hung her head, a little unsuitable for her gentle treatment, awkward appearance, but let Chan Yi see clearly.

Chanyi didn't pay much attention to it, she said it on purpose, so that Xian Yi could understand that if she didn't do something out of the ordinary, she was willing to pull her along, give her a good future, and let her know what she could and couldn't do.

She finally left, "If you have anything difficult, you can come to me, I can't help you make decisions on major matters, but some trivial things, such as going to the temple to get incense, I can accompany you." "When she said, 'In that temple,' she emphasized it emphatically and went back to Fujudo.

Xian Yi was in the room, pondering her words carefully, and then it dawned on her that she had heard what they said in the inner room, otherwise how could she have left such an ambiguous sentence.

Mother Chen heard Chan Yi leave in the inner room, hurriedly went out of the inner room, looked at Xian Yi and couldn't help but say: "Can you listen to the second miss, she will only hope that you are not as good as her, where will she help you think of a little idea......?"

Xian Yi was very tired of listening to it, and immediately looked at Mother Chen with a cold face, "You have been out for so long, who has left my mother to wait? She is not in good health, you can't keep coming to me and not going back, I know everything you said, if I have an idea, I will naturally let people sue my mother, you go back first, don't stay with me, my subordinates here have been sent out by you, so that people can see it and think that there is something unsightly in my house." ”

Mother Chen blocked her mouth in one breath, looked at Xian Yi with some anger, angry that she didn't know what to do, but in the end, she was a slave, and she couldn't say anything disrespectful to her master, so she had to listen to the order and go back to Xifeng Garden.

Aunt Yan was tilting her head on the warm kang, and when she saw Chen's mother coming back a little angrily, she hurriedly asked her, "How is it?"

Mother Chen sighed, looking at such a motherly Mrs. Fang, she couldn't bear it, and reached out to put a cushion behind Aunt Yan, and said softly: "Fourth Miss is still too young, I don't understand what you are planning for her, the slave maid just made your meaning clear, she shouted that she would never be someone else's concubine, and then the slave maid persuaded the fourth lady for a long time, and the fourth lady finally agreed......"

Aunt Yan secretly wept and said: "She was delayed by me, peeing and watching me be the master's outer room, and she was bullied all the way to grow up, no matter how I protect her, it is impossible to cut off all those rumors, she will always hear some, she will have such thoughts I can also guess, but being the prince's concubine is different from being other people's concubines, what is the prince? ”

Chen's mother said: "Isn't that what you said, but the second miss suddenly came to intervene and provoked the relationship between you and the fourth miss, openly and secretly said that you can't be on the stage, even the fourth miss was moved by her, just agreed to the slave maid, turned around and the second miss left, the fourth miss drove the slave back, and said that she would think about it again......

"What?" Aunt Yan couldn't help but sit up, but such an action made her breathe a little, "Xia Chanyi is too bullying!"

Mother Chen was so frightened that she hurriedly went to help Aunt Yan and persuaded: "Don't worry, Mrs. Fang, the fourth lady was also blinded for a while, don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely handle this matter for you properly." ”

Aunt Yan took a few breaths, her eyes narrowed, and she said softly: "If you dare to spoil Sister Xian'er's affairs, I can't spare that little slut!"
