Chapter 45: The Fish Takes the Bait (2)
Pei'er briefly talked about the situation with Qiu Xi, and Qiu Xi was not surprised, so she just nodded and didn't ask anything more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When the group arrived near Fangfei Garden, they saw more than a dozen maids walking through the courtyard, all of them lightly and without making a sound.
Pei'er's face was a little ugly: these servants must have been sent by the wife, and I am afraid that if they show a little intention, they will reach the ears of the wife......
Zhao Linyi also frowned, and kept a calm face and did not speak.
Qiu Xi stepped forward and said, "Girl, leave this matter to the slave maid." β
"You, what can you do?" Before Zhao Linyi could speak, Pei'er opened her mouth first, although she took her because she understood Qiu Xi's cleverness, but she was very unhappy to let this second-class maid steal her limelight.
Zhao Linyi didn't care about Pei'er's thoughts, but her eyes were staring at Qiuxi.
Seeing this, Qiu Xi smiled, turned her head and said softly: "Girl, look, the flowers are standing over there, but Shi Xiang next to the third girl?"
Zhao Linyi heard Yanchao and looked over there, and really saw a maid in stone blue clothes in the flowers, although her face was not very real, but her body and outfit were exactly the same as what she saw earlier.
When the maid saw the three of them, she left in a panic.
She was even more anxious for a while, she didn't expect Sanniang to really dare to come like this, if she was given time to come up with a countermeasure, it would be troublesome. No, she must not let her succeed!
"What do you have to do, let's hear it. She flattened her tone and said to Qiu Xi.
Qiu Xi looked at Pei'er, who had an ugly face, a hint of imperceptible mockery flashed in her eyes, and she said a few words to Zhao Linyi with a smile as usual.
Zhao Linyi was a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but Qiu Xi smiled and said: "Girl, don't care about this, it doesn't matter in whose name, it doesn't matter who the Hou Ye likes in the end." Besides, in this way, your risk is greatly reduced, girl, isn't it?"
She thought for a moment, then nodded. Qiu Xi turned around and hurried away.
Pei'er pursed her lips and asked Zhao Linyi, "Girl, do you really want to do this?"
"It's come to this, there's no way back if you don't do it, let's go, let's go to Mingchuan Pond. Zhao Linyi shook her head, no longer hesitated, and left.
Pell gritted her teeth and followed.
Qiu Xi walked in the opposite direction along the road in front of Fangfei Garden for a while, and saw a path half covered by flowers and plants. She looked around cautiously before quickly making her way through the path.
After turning around, we came to the back door of an exquisite annex. She carefully hunched over to the hollow window with a few bamboos and listened to the movement inside.
The door creaked open, and a female voice said: "Master Hou, this is freshly brewed sobering tea, and it has been cold for a while, you can drink a little, it will feel better." β
"Put your things down and go out. A mellow male voice sounded a little tiredly.
"Yes. The woman's voice answered, and the door rang again, and all was quiet.
She waited cautiously for a while, seeing that there was no more sound, and then cautiously poked her head out to observe the situation inside.
I saw a man in fancy clothes sitting on the bed, taking two sips of tea and putting it down, rubbing the acupoints on his forehead, looking tired.
Qiu Xi took a closer look, Xu Xian's face was not red, and he had no intention of undressing and falling asleep, so he was not very drunk.
She called softly: "Master Hou......"
Xu Xian heard the movement, looked out the window, and saw that it was a maid with a raw face, and couldn't help frowning.
He walked to the window, furrowed his eyebrows, and said, "Who are you?"
"Back to Master Hou, I'm here to send a message to my girl: The girl invites Master Hou to go to Mingchuan Pool in the house to talk. β
"Your girl?" Is it Zhao Qingyi?
At the banquet just now, he saw it clearly, his fiancΓ©e, but he had only seen him twice, and she looked like she had a deep love for him, such a woman was too ordinary, and he couldn't look down on it. In the future, he married back as an ornament, but he was too lazy to make a false deal with her.
"Ben Hou is tired, and he doesn't want to go out at this time. Xu Xian said perfunctorily, raising his feet and leaving.
Qiu Xi was in a hurry, how could she refuse so simply, she finally had a chance to start......
"Master Hou doesn't want to know who my girl is?" Qiu Xi shouted in a low voice.
Xu Xian paused, talking like this, could it be not Zhao Da? He turned his head, stared at her, and did not speak.
Qiu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I am Qiu Xi next to the third girl." β
Wasn't the third girl the little girl who made him feel a little strange? What did she ask him for? What did she do with him? If so, he was looking forward to seeing if the expression on her face would be different from the rest of the people when he flatly refused......
Qiu Xi saw that he didn't answer immediately, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Sure enough, there is a play, Hou Ye really thinks differently about the three girls, but Fang Cai's coldness, isn't it aimed at the eldest girl?
She secretly guessed in her heart, but when she raised her head, she saw Xu Xian nodding and said lightly: "I know, I'm tired of you leading the way." β
Yiying was holding a plate of fruits, walking with Yang Xue, a second-class maid from Jifutang, on the road from Jifutang to Dongcross-courtyard. Passing through Mingchuan Pond, the two turned into a two-lane bluestone road, with a row of poplars in the middle of the road, separating the two sides.
Since the two of them were going to the East Cross Courtyard, they walked on the left. Yang Xue looked at the fruit in her hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. is really polite to that Aunt Li, she sends her things twice in three days, and other aunts don't have this blessing." β
Yiying couldn't help but smile, other aunts? Aunt Zhang is not short of this thing, Aunt Wang is a medicine jar, it is better to send her medicine. Left and right just wanted to show that she was a benevolent housewife in front of her subordinates, and chose this obedient aunt to be a raft.
"Yes, my wife has always been kind-hearted. Yi Ying also politely said a few perfunctory words. It's just that what she can't understand is why Pei's has been asking her to do some things that the maids in Jifutang should do recently, giving fruits to her aunt, gifts to the Hou Mansion, and even sending detailed accounts to her mother in the outer courtyard...... Although she did everything she could, she was very uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know what Pei was planning.
The two of them were talking together, but they heard the voices of a man and a woman coming from the opposite path.
"How much longer?" the man's voice was a little impatient.
"Soon, soon, the third girl is waiting for you in front. The woman said in a flattering tone, very flatteringly.
She was shocked, this voice was not ...... In order not to meet him, she kept asking Zhishu to go for her when she was entertaining guests in the morning, and looked at the courtyard of Ming Seju by herself, but she didn't know that Pei's special instructions for her to send fruits to Aunt Li...... She was so distraught that she wanted to run away.
Yang Xue next to her also stopped, her willow eyebrows raised, and she wondered: "Isn't this the inner courtyard, how can there be a man? Also, what is the relationship between this man and the third girl?"
Yiying woke up suddenly, yes, the third girl...... At noon, Xu Xian came here and got involved with Zhao Jiayi again...... She suddenly had a bad premonition, this place should not stay for a long time!
Yang Xue had already quietly picked up the leaves and glanced at the situation over there. Suddenly, as if she had seen something unbelievable, her eyes widened and she was about to scream.
