56. It's this set again
As soon as autumn comes, the osmanthus is fragrant, especially there is an osmanthus forest belonging to the Xia family in Jinling, which is like a golden cloud covering the sky. Coupled with the rich and sweet fragrance wafting over, this place has become the most important mark of the Xia family in the eyes of Jinling people.
There is another grand event this year, the Xia family bought an old tree that is more than 100 years old from other places and transplanted it into their own osmanthus forest. Taking advantage of this incident, the Xia family held a feast, and also invited the opera troupe to sing in the hall, and it was to enjoy the flowers and listen to the opera, which became a grand event.
Grandma Xue, as Xia Jingui's close friend, naturally got a warm invitation, and it was the first time she had someone post for her in Jinling, and she excitedly showed it to Baochai, wanting her sister-in-law to go with her.
"I heard that the Xia family's osmanthus forest is very famous, wouldn't it be good for us to go to the pine and loosen together. Save yourself from setting rules for the old lady every day, and having to be served by someone to eat, which is really boring. ”
Xue Baochai smiled, but she knew that this sister-in-law really regarded her as a family member, so she would say so. If it was someone else, she would have gone, but Xia Jingui, others don't know, but she knows that there are some grievances with her mother-in-law, and it is really inconvenient for her to go.
"Then how do you call making rules, that is my filial piety to the old lady, and the old lady is willing to let me be filial. If your sister-in-law likes it, bring two more girls with you. Baoyu studied hard all day long, and someone always had to serve the soup, besides, he was such a fun-loving person, wouldn't he be angry to death if he knew that I ran out to play alone and threw him at home to study. ”
Shanhuai had a good impression of Baoyu, and nodded when he heard this, "Also, I didn't have to let your husband and wife have a gap, but it was mine." Then I will invite the cousin of the Lin family to go together, and Ulan Gege, they are not married, they must be free. ”
"Don't, they don't have a good relationship with the Xia family." Xue Baochai sweated down, who didn't know that Xia Jingui was slapped on the street by Ulan Gege. But this sister-in-law didn't know at all, and almost had an accident.
"And this kind of thing, Ulan Gege doesn't look like such a person." Grandma Xue's eyes widened, looking at her age several years younger, waiting for Baochai to give her an answer with a cute and cute face.
"Ulan Gege is a royal princess, and her identity is different from ours. What reason does she need to hate someone, if she hates it, she hates it, and when she hits, who dares to ask why? ”
Baochai flickers the mountain acacia like this, and one mouth can manage a hundred. Shan Huai nodded his head, "Then I won't call them." After thinking about it, he added, "It's not that I'm not bad with them, it's that someone else will invite them to enjoy the flowers in the future, and then call them." ”
"It's good that my sister-in-law thinks so." Baochai said in his heart, Ulan Gege and Lin Daiyu, are you what you want to call? People are in a good mood and are kind to you, which does not mean that they treat you as a friend. But these words rolled in her heart, and she didn't spit out half a word.
Shanhuai smiled shyly, "My husband always said that if I can learn half of my sister, he won't worry about me getting into trouble outside." ”
Xue Baochai was stunned, would his brother even say such a thing? What is it like to be protected by a man, thinking of Baoyu, she feels that she probably can't feel it in her life.
Daiyu still went to the Xia family's flower viewing party and accompanied Ulan Gege. Because Ulan Gege suddenly became interested in Osmanthus Forest, as for who Xia Jingui was and what, she had been rewarded with a few mouths, she had long forgotten. It doesn't matter how you remember.
The important thing is that she is interested, does the Xia family dare not to accept it?
She also generously pulled Daiyu to accompany her, Daiyu said in her heart, Xia Jingui saw that they could probably breathe fire angrily. But she didn't worry about Ulan Gege going alone, she remembered the poisoning of Xia Jingui in the novel.
Grandma Xue was naturally very happy to see Daiyu and Ulan Gege, and thought to herself, it seems that the sister-in-law is thinking too much. Maybe the previous thing was a misunderstanding, and it had already been resolved, and he happily beckoned them to sit with him.
Shanhuai did it very naturally, and she didn't think much about it, but that doesn't mean that others won't think about it. A lady who believed that her status was higher than that of the Xue family, she stood in front of Shanhuai without smiling or smiling, and directly stretched out her hand to Ulan Gege.
"How can you sit with the merchant's family, the host's family arranges a seat, and you want to let the guests sit down, and the host's poor hospitality is a trivial matter, which is a big crime of contempt for the royal family."
Ulan Gege was displeased, she wanted to sit with the mountain locust, but she had to admit that the lady was right. Her identity is destined, she can't sit casually, and the seat represents not her personally, but respect for the royal family.
"What's this, let's sit down and ask Grandma Xue to come and sit with you. This lady was too worried, and Grandma Xue just asked Ulan Gege to say goodbye. Daiyu smiled slightly, and easily resolved the embarrassment of Shanhuai standing on the spot.
He took Ulan Gege to the most scenic position and sat down, and beckoned to the mountain acacia: "Gege called you, but you can't come yet." ”
Grandma Xue looked at the lady, then at them, and walked over. Although she couldn't figure out the twists and turns, she knew that the lady was embarrassing her. And Daiyu helped her, but she embarrassed the lady.
For the lady stretched out her hand to invite Ulan Gege to where she was sitting. But Daiyu picked another place, obviously telling her from the side, Shanhuai is not qualified, and you are also not qualified. In the eyes of the royal family, your identity is not particularly different from that of the mountain acac.
Shanhuai sat down without hesitation, and didn't mention what happened just now, just pointed to the dim sum on the table and said: "Osmanthus cake, osmanthus cake, fried osmanthus, and osmanthus nectar water, and smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, if you want me to say, this forest is really a good place, even if it is given to an emperor, it will not be changed." ”
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the emperor does not need to exchange things." Daiyu glanced at her and poured a cup of osmanthus nectar for Ulan Gege.
"Osmanthus can also make wine, if Grandma Xue likes it, you can ask the Xia family if there is anything saved in previous years, otherwise you can go home and brew it yourself." It's safer to change the topic.
Grandma Xue glanced at Wulan's face with anxiety, and saw that she didn't order someone to drag her down and cut off her head, so she was finally relieved. Secretly scolded herself for being a bastard, she was used to talking nonsense on the mountain, and she had changed a lot after coming down the mountain, but she didn't expect her mouth to be quick for a while, and she forgot about the taboo.
Hurriedly said: "Really? That's good, I'll ask Jin Gui for a few jars in a while, let's find a place to have a good drink. ”
Ulan is picking up fried osmanthus to eat, one by one osmanthus and into the flour, spread thin twisted into a flower shape and put it in the oil pot to fry. Brush another layer of osmanthus nectar on the top, it is really crisp and fragrant. Mix sweet and crispy fried in one place, eat a piece, and leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth. People can't help but send it to their mouths one by one, and when they think about it, they have already eaten too much.
Seeing that the maid persuaded a few words, Ulan didn't listen, so Daiyu poured water for her again, and a little person, if she drank too much, she couldn't eat. Stopping his mouth, he was still unsatisfied, and instructed his maidservant, "Go and ask how to do it, and we will go back and make food." ”
The maid answered and left, someone at their table came up to change the tea for them, and the maid who poured the water took a little bigger, stepped on the corner of her skirt, and leaned forward like this, seeing that she was about to pounce on Grandma Xue with a teapot.
Daiyu's brain reacted, but unfortunately the arms and legs couldn't react at all, and she watched the maid fly over.
Immediately afterwards, several people covered their eyes, needless to say, it must have been a mess on their backs. As a result, Grandma Xue's body twisted, and her hand stretched out and turned around again. The little maid had already been grabbed by her by the back of her neck, and directly lost her strength, turned around in a circle, and stood in the same place as she was, still holding the teapot in her hand.
"Oh my God, you know kung fu." Ulan Gege was the first to call out.
Daiyu didn't expect that she not only could ride a horse-drawn bow, but also such a small kung fu, and she was immediately impressed by her.
Grandma Xue was very proud and hugged her fist at Wulan, "Of course, my master is very powerful." ”
The king of the mountain actually had a teacher, Ulan became interested, and a table of people threw the little maid who changed the tea to the back of his head. Only Daiyu went to see her and beckoned her to come over, "This dress is not yours." ”
As soon as Daiyu looked down, she saw the little maid's hands, white and tender, with a pair of golden cloves hanging on her ears, and she looked like she was serving people in the house. It's completely different from those little girls who serve tea and water outside.
"It was the housekeeper's mother who made the slave wear it, and the slave didn't mean it." The little girl's frightened soul is about to fly.
"Guess what the housekeeper's mother would think when she saw that I had been talking to you for so long. I guess she'll probably feel like you've betrayed her. Sue me, you deliberately spilled tea on Grandma Xue in order to lure her to change her clothes. You say, did I guess right? ”
Daiyu's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear each other's voices. The little maid's body was already shaking like chaff, and she trembled: "The slave and maid don't have it, it's nothing, and I didn't say anything." The voice was already crying.
"Look, you're shaking like this, if it's not a snitch, how can you explain it. If I say it now, you say, will Xia Jingui throw you out and kill you on the spot? Daiyu's voice carried a demagogic power, and it was so evil that the hairs on his body stood on end.
The little maid finally cried, and of course the lady would beat her to death, and only by killing her could she get rid of herself.
"Look, you know it's going to be like that. Let's make a deal so you don't have to die. Daiyu smiled, and only those who were close could see it, and her eyes were cold.
Daiyu's luck is good, the little maid is afraid of death, and in order to keep it secret, Xia Jingui is looking for all of her henchmen. Not only do they know what they are going to do, but they can also guess what others are going to do.
The little maid was sent away by the apricot fruit when she changed the tea, and also gave her a purse, saying that she told a lot of legends and stories about osmanthus, and the eldest lady of the Lin family was very satisfied and rewarded her.
Daiyu poured water for Wulan again, but her hand slipped and splashed the water on Grandma Xue's skirt. They screamed, and Grandma Xue's maid immediately went back to the carriage to get her clothes, and a maid from the Xia family took her to change her clothes.
Wulan waited for Grandma Xue to leave before he said loudly: "What the hell are you doing, why don't you let me listen." ”
"Because it's an adult's business, children can't listen to it."
Ulan was unwilling, but he could only be obedient. The child's intuition is the most intelligent, she knows that although Sister Lin is much gentler than the eldest brother, she will take care of her, and even pour water for wiping her mouth. But one thing is the same as the eldest brother, saying one thing and deciding something, and he will never compromise with her.
Grandma Xue walked away for a while, and Ulan began to feel bored, "She still has to tell me about the war, and she hasn't finished talking about it." ”
"It's okay, I'll ask her to come out next time." Daiyu glanced at Xingguo who came back from going to the toilet, Xingguo nodded faintly, shrank to her and stood beside her.
Ulan was slightly stunned, why didn't she wait for a while to come back and continue to speak, but next time.
couldn't help pursing her rosy lips, "She's going to be fine." ”
"Don't worry." Daiyu glanced at her, such a young child, did she feel this unusual? She didn't realize that it was her own subconscious words that aroused Ulan's vigilance.
During the period when they were waiting for them, many people came to greet them, and Xia Jingui, as the master, also sat down with him, "The concubine went to greet Brother Hongxiang just now, it's too late, forgive your sins." ”
Although the ninth master has no interest in her, the Xia family has always been very filial, and he also thinks that the Xia family belongs to himself. At this time, of course, we have to give them a little decency, so that people know who is behind the Xia family. So he let his concubine go, sit down, drink a glass of water and wine before leaving, which can be regarded as an expression of attitude.
"Brother Hongxiang didn't go to the osmanthus forest to move an osmanthus tree back and give it away?" Ulan asked knowingly.
Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, Ulan really hit the other party's face, if the person concerned hears it, he will probably be mad.
Xia Jingui also smiled awkwardly, knowing that Wulan was laughing at her, but she could only endure this breath and continue to laugh.
What I was thinking in my heart was, aren't you going to be good with Grandma Xue? In a moment, you will be a witness for yourselves.
witnessed Grandma Xue's wild and difficult training, hooking up with thieves outside, and cheating on the Xia family's place, but was broken through. Then, predictably, she will be swept out of the Xue family. At this time, she simply didn't do it, and she didn't stop asking for his life.
Restore the free body, and then accompany the Xia family's family business as a dowry, think about it, few men can resist this temptation.
Wait until Daiyu finally said: "It's strange, why hasn't Grandma Xue come back, it's been so long." ”
"Why don't I take you to see it, it's not far from here where she dresses." Xia Jingui looked like the master was dutiful.
"Then there will be labor." Daiyu smiled and got up.
There are so many people, no one thinks Xia Jingui's formulation is weird, and no one thinks Miss Lin should be weird. Only Ulan opened his mouth slightly, smashed it and closed it again.
There was a red-faced sound of love from the changing room, and a maid behind Xia Jingui suddenly called out, "There's a man inside." ”
This call, people who have been paying attention to their movements, are attracted to it. I don't know who led the way, but a large group of people surrounded Hulala. They all inquired about what happened.
"Let's go back, I'll take a look first." Xia Jingui was very embarrassed, and looked at Lin Daiyu with a helping look. That seems to mean that it's your friend in it, you say what to do, if you can help me, you will definitely help.
"Everyone is here, and if you leave without figuring out what's going on, what's the matter." Daiyu spoke for the onlookers.
pointed to the door and said to Xingguo: "Kick the door open for me." ”
Xingguo didn't hesitate for a minute, "Bang" was a kick, and the door was kicked open. The room is not big, on a chaise longue, a man is pressing on a woman's body, up and down, full of energy.
When the door collapsed, he grabbed a thin quilt and covered his body, turned his head, looked not afraid of being seen, and raised his eyebrows at who he didn't know who he was very proud of.
"The access control of the Xia family is really strict, who is this man and how can he appear in the backyard. Don't sue me, he is your husband, Sun Shaozu. Daiyu preemptively grabbed the fault of the Xia family and pushed Xia Jingui's head.
"I don't know this person, and it's definitely not our master. How so, what's going on? Xia Jingui looked like she was about to faint, and was supported by the maid behind her.
"I don't want to share it with you girls, I made an appointment to have a private meeting here. Lang has a concubine who has intentions, what does it matter to you. The man picked up the clothes that had been thrown on the ground and put them on one by one, slowly and calmly. Of course, at this time, someone in the Xia family had already taken a screen and covered the chaise longue.
"Since it's the Xia family's private matter, then we won't bother." Daiyu looked at Xia Jingui with a smile, wanting to know what she would do.
"What is the private matter of the Xia family, we don't know this man, and the woman is not from our family, what does it matter to our Xia family. It's just that we are too kind, and we inadvertently created a condition for people to come to our house, phew...... In the end, it is a wild road, and it cannot be put on the table. Xia Jingui took a sip, and many people agreed in their hearts.
By now, everyone should know and know. The eldest grandmother of the Xue family is not a wild person, I really didn't expect that she would do something unruly.
"What are you talking about?" One person pushed aside everyone, Shi Shiran stood behind Daiyu and patted her shoulder, full of affection.
Next to it is Ulan Gege, apparently the two of them came together.
Ulan Gege hurriedly cleared up, "When she came back, you were all gone, and she didn't worry about me being alone, so she let me come with me." She didn't come by herself, though she wanted to join in the fun.
"Yes, yes, I brought her, what's the matter." The appearance of Grandma Xue made everyone's faces look like they had opened a dyeing workshop, all of them were wonderful. Xia Jingui retreated even more, if Grandma Xue was here, who would be the person from where.
Grandma Xue didn't care so much, she pulled the screen open with one hand, picked up a woman from the chaise longue, and her fine skin and tender flesh were exposed to her without an inch.
"Autumn geese." The maid behind Xia Jingui suddenly broke her identity, and it was the personal maid who served Xia Jingui like her. Qiu Yan and Qiu Xiang, who in the Xia family doesn't know that they are Xia Jingui's henchmen.
Qiu Yan covered her face and cried, Grandma Xue said "Huh" and said loudly: "Aren't you the maid who led the way for me?" What's going on, if there are two lovers who are happy with each other, let him come to the door to propose. What's going on with sneaking, we mountain people also know that we can't be husband and wife without worshipping heaven and earth. If you make this kind of mistake, you will have to dip in the pig cage. ”
Come on, you should understand everything, Xia Jingui set up a situation to harm people, but it didn't hurt anyone, but hurt his maid. Sure enough, she is a merchant girl, there are no rules at all, and this kind of person must not come and go again.
shouldn't understand, yo, the big girl who is close, just make peace with others, or in broad daylight. The maids are like this, and the people who serve can go where they can be. Early in the morning, I heard that there were some rumors from Xia Jingui and Brother Jiu, but it was true.
Xia Jingui's face didn't know how to describe it for a long time, it was white and blue for a while, and it was colorful for a while, crying, crying, laughing, laughing. Frozen in place, I wish I could just faint.
Grandma Xue threw Qiu Yan away and threw it directly at Xia Jingui's feet, and she didn't know why, there had been a commotion outside for so long, and men knew how to wear clothes, but she still didn't wear anything. Only Grandma Xue laughed secretly, clothes, jokes, you can find your own clothes, count my light skills for nothing.
"Such a dirty place, do you think you can cover it with a little floral fragrance? I'm never going to come again, so I don't have to get dirty. Grandma Xue raised her head, took the maid, and walked out proudly. Daiyu and Ulan glanced at each other, and Daiyu took Ulan's hand and walked out.
As soon as they walked out, as soon as Grandma Xue got into the carriage, in front of Daiyu, she cried "wow". He cried and cried, "How can this be, how can a man be so bad?" I know she doesn't like me as much as she says she does, I know that. But I thought, no matter what her purpose was, it would be enough to be kind to me like this and treat me as a friend. But I didn't think about her, why did she do this, I never offended her. She said that the coral beads I was wearing were beautiful, and I took them off and gave them to her without saying a word. She said that she wanted to buy goods on Xue Pan's way, and I also helped her speak in front of Xue Pan. But why, why did she do it? ”
When Grandma Xue was taken by Qiu Yan, she poured her a cup of tea. She is a mountain king, and she is a little bit more familiar with this kind of medicine that plots people, not to mention, she has already been ordered by Daiyu. She was skeptical, but when she smelled the medicine, she knew it was true.
didn't say anything, directly knocked out Qiu Yan, and poured a pot of water into her. Then he threw her on the chaise longue, and jumped on the beam himself to see what would happen.
As soon as the others came, she quietly went to the ground, picked up the clothes of the autumn geese on the ground, and flew out of the fan, without being noticed by the man. She still had a fluke, she couldn't say that this matter had nothing to do with Xia Jingui, she was also kept in the dark.
She hid behind the onlookers and heard that Daiyu had been helping Xia Jingui with this matter at least twice. If Xia Jingui defends her, she can't react the first time, and she should react the second time. But no, she didn't want to do anything, and even went into battle in person to prove that the person inside was her, the grandmother of the Xue family.
"What is this, man, who knows what is hidden in the heart? Or, she is jealous that you are better than her beauty and marriage. Daiyu didn't care at all, she only learned today that Grandma Xue and Xia Jingui actually had some friendship, and it was better to break it, otherwise she would be poisoned by her one day sooner or later.
Qiu Yan was beaten half to death and thrown out, and after the news came out that she couldn't survive and died, everyone thought that this matter was like this. It's probably that Xia Jingui is not out of hiding, and the Xia family and the Xue family are also considered to have a feud, and they can't imagine that there will be new developments in things.
Sun Shaozu actually died, in the house of a little widow. The little widow escaped by hiding under the bed and saw him stabbed to death by a man. As soon as the portrait of this man came out, it matched the person who made peace with Qiu Yan that day.
