Chapter 243: Because of Trust
The girl in front of her, although she was restless climbing trees and touching bird eggs in Yunling Town at that time, but in front of outsiders, she was a bit of a lady.
People say that the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and the more she changes, the better she looks, but she hasn't seen her for more than a year, she has grown taller, her figure has a bit of a woman's taste, and her appearance is indeed more beautiful, but the only thing is that not only has she not grown in her demeanor, but she seems to have regressed a lot.
Look at it, even in enjoyment, there is no dignified in her gestures.
In this private room of the teahouse, Li Qiyu only knows what's going on. Millet came here to enjoy, and after Mrs. Shangshu knew about it, she simply wrapped it for a long time. In other words, this girl didn't enjoy it after she became Zhong Shangshu's daughter, but she was already treated very well in Xuanwang's Mansion before.
Otherwise, she can't be so casual and comfortable in the Xuanwang Mansion, why didn't she agree to Mrs. Shangshu to enter the Shangshu Mansion earlier. Even if I didn't know that it was Shangshu's daughter at the time, being Shangshu's goddaughter would be just as blessed.
Li Qiyu's heart sank to the bottom, even when he was in Yunling Town, he was rejected by her, and not long ago in this capital, he was hit by her again, and his heart was not as cold as it is now.
It was different before, even if she knew that King Xuan cared about her, she was just an ordinary person. Now, she is Zhong Shangshu's daughter, not long after she was born, the emperor pointed her out to the sixth prince to be the princess.
With her current identity, he can't look at it level, he can only look up.
"Li Gongzi, why are you stunned, hurry up and sit down." Xiaomi hadn't opened his mouth since he saw Li Qiyu come in, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he opened his mouth to greet him, after all, he was asking for someone now.
Compared with Zhong Shangshu and Qinshu Wang. No matter what you say in front of you, you can be regarded as an acquaintance. In fact, it is not so annoying for him to stop talking about marrying himself.
"I haven't congratulated you yet, Miss Zhong." Li Qiyu came back to his senses and said with a smile.
"Miss Zhong? Hehe, come on. It's better for you to call me Xiaomi. What is there to congratulate. Besides, if you really want to congratulate me, then at least some kind of affordability will do. What's the point of just talking about it? When Xiaomi heard this, he accepted it quite quickly, and even changed his title.
As soon as I heard Xiaomi say this. I knew she was joking with herself, but. Li Qiyu's originally cold heart suddenly felt warmer. She would joke with herself, which made him feel that the distance between Xiaomi and his original estrangement seemed to be a little closer.
That's just a little bit. It had already comforted him.
"What do you think is the benefit? I'll buy it later. Li Qiyu sat down, looked at Xiaomi and asked.
"Okay, you're in for a treat at noon. How about a table in Yuxiang Building? It's okay if you're inconvenient. Just pay the money, and you don't have to stay with you. "I didn't plan to go back for lunch when I came out in the morning, just to grab a treat.
It's not that she deliberately wants to blackmail this Li Qiyu, isn't it boring, and she doesn't know the situation of the Luo family in Yunling Town, she has to have some fun for herself, otherwise it's really depressing, how can she live.
"It's that simple? I'm not inconvenient, but you, your identity is different now, meet with a man alone, go to a restaurant, you are not afraid of gossip, but it is not good to let Lord Zhong know, right? Li Qiyu kindly reminded her, but she didn't know why in her heart, while despising herself for being despicable, she hoped that she wouldn't take her reminder seriously.
It's best if there is gossip outside, Zhong Shangshu, it's better if the emperor is not happy. As far as her temperament is concerned, she will never be a good girl. Then, if you are a diligent princess, you will not be qualified, how good!
As soon as he heard Li Qiyu's words, Xiaomi laughed with a snort; "Li Gongzi, did you only know me today? Do you think I'm going to be scared? Others gossip about me. I can't help it if Lord Zhong is unhappy, and I don't live for his pleasure, it's best if he gets angry and breaks off my relationship and kicks me out of Shangshu Mansion.
Okay, that's it, you're in for lunch. Now, let's get down to business. ”
Xiaomi's reaction, Li Qiyu only had a wry smile, why did he forget, didn't there be a lot of unpleasant words about her and King Xuan in the capital before, so isn't she still doing her own thing? Those words refused to reach Lord Zhong's ears, so he still recognized her and took her into the mansion.
Li Qiyu suddenly realized that he had become such an idiot and had such childish thoughts? Sighing, nodding, and looking at Millet waiting to hear what she had to say.
Xiaomi waved her hand and motioned for the tea lady and the maid who came with her to go out, and when she and Li Qiyu were left in the room, she roughly explained what she had learned here.
Only then did Li Qiyu know that Xiaomi originally did not agree to enter the Shangshu Mansion, but because Lord Zhong offered to let the Luo family go in exchange, she agreed. At this point, he admires Xiaomi.
It's just that he doesn't quite understand why Xiaomi doesn't like its current identity? Isn't it good to be the daughter of Lord Zhong? The seven sons of the Zhong family, just such a daughter, were lost for many years and were finally found, so they must treat her as a treasure.
Li Qiyu feels that Xiaomi is probably a little unaccustomed to it, and it will accept it in a few days.
"What are you looking for me for?" Li Qiyu guessed that Xiaomi asked herself to come out today, probably because she wanted to ask if the people sent to Yunling Town had sent a letter back, but after thinking about it, Xiaomi knew the distance between the capital and Yunling Town, so she should also know that she didn't get the news now.
Well, it's up to her to help herself.
"I want to trouble you again, can you arrange another person to go to Yunling Town. Help me make sure that the Luo family is indeed fine. I know it's not good to trouble you again and again. But now you are the only one who can help me.
Is this good, I will pay for the cost of going out. "Xiaomi doesn't plan to go around in circles, let's be honest.
In fact, in addition to Yin Zixuan in the capital, she still has people she can trust, the key is. Xiaomi doesn't want to implicate them. has already affected so many people in the Luo family, and Xiaomi really doesn't want to owe Yihai Commercial Bank any more favors.
"Okay, I see, you don't trust Lord Zhong. I'll arrange it later, and as for the cost, I won't be able to afford it. You can rest assured, this matter. It must be done. "Because of the trust of the people in front of you. Li Qiyu's mood seems to be slightly better.
She doesn't believe in Lord Zhong, and she doesn't trust King Qinshu! But believe in yourself!
Li Qiyu nodded happily and agreed, Xiaomi's main task this time will be completed. What's next. It's just a matter of waiting patiently for news. I only hope that during the time when I get the exact news, I won't have any moths.
Xiaomi is not an anxious person, but. She also knew that entering the Shangshu Mansion didn't end there. There's also a potentially big problem. That's what kind of marriage contract with King Qinshu.
Although, for the time being, I didn't find any special abnormalities about the King of Qinshu about himself, but Xiaomi remembered the day he entered the Zhong Mansion. The attitude of King Qinshu made her feel a little unsteady. At that time, she felt that she was overwhelmed.
What should have been said has already been said, Xiaomi is still early to see the time, and the autumn is refreshing now. She suddenly felt that staying in the teahouse all morning didn't seem to be interesting. Thereupon. decided to go around the street, asked Li Qiyu's opinion, and if there was something to do, he could go first.
Li Qiyu said that it didn't matter, and it was good to go around together.
The two of them walked out of the private room, and Xiaomi noticed that the two maidservants who followed Zhong Fu looked at Li Qiyu with a strange look. After thinking about it for a while, I understand why. Xiaomi is not afraid that they will go back to make a small report to Old Man Zhong, so if they are willing to say, let them go.
If that's the case, Xiaomi doesn't plan to retaliate against them. After all, they are of a humble status and do what they are told if they have no human rights.
The streets of the capital are always lively with people coming and going. In late autumn, a few more touches of color were added to the stalls selling agricultural products on the side of the street, dressed as a bright red pepper, white garlic was also braided into a hanging, orange-red pumpkins bigger than the basin, and a basket of yellow-orange-orange oranges, which attracted Xiaomi's attention and made her unable to take her eyes off.
Xiaomi looks at this and looks at that, which is very rare. The stall owner didn't think that such a young lady from such a big family would buy her own agricultural products, and only sold her how sweet her oranges were. Xiaomi picked a few by himself, Li Qiyu was just about to touch the purse and prepare to pay the silver, but he didn't think that someone would move much faster than him, and a maid from Xiaomi grabbed the front to pay for the oranges.
Another maidservant girl stepped forward to take the orange from the vendor.
Li Qiyu frowned, and removed his hand from his purse in some frustration.
Millet didn't notice this, and saw that there were fried chestnuts with sugar at the entrance of the alley in front of her, and walked over again. Ancient chestnuts were all small, but they had a very sweet taste. The chestnuts that have been cut and stir-fried in the shiny sand make you want to buy them.
Xiaomi asked for a pack, this time Li Qiyu didn't make any moves, looking at the servant girl busy paying, very defensive, as if she was afraid of being robbed by him.
This time, the maidservant went to pick up the chestnuts in the hands of the vendors, and the millet spoke, and the chestnuts should be eaten while they were hot. Seeing that her own lady was holding a paper bag containing chestnuts, the two maids were a little panicked, wouldn't the master be planning to eat while walking on this street?
Xiaomi ignored them, looked around, and under a tree not far ahead, there were several big bluestones, and strode towards that side.
The big bluestone should be because people often sit, the surface is already a little smooth, Xiaomi sat down, put the paper bag in his hand on his lap, and began to peel chestnuts.
Li Qiyu looked at the surprised expressions of the two maidservants, shook his head and smiled, opened a little distance in a funny way, and sat down. Millet beckoned him to eat, and he smiled and shook his head, worried that he would lose his temper, so he looked at the flow of people coming and going on the street.
The people who followed, not only the two maidservants, but also the coachman and two guards, as well as Li Qiyu's personal attendant Shao'an.
Xiaomi only let Li Qiyu, but others didn't let him, and he wasn't very familiar, so there was no need to be polite. What's more, let it be for nothing, Xiaomi can be sure that these people will not eat it. The maid stepped forward and said to help Millet peel the skin, but Millet refused, saying that this thing would be better to peel and eat by herself.
The chestnuts are really sweet, so that Xiaomi can't stop, eat one after another, not a lot of effort, a paper bag of chestnuts quickly bottomed out, Xiaomi took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and prepared to put the shell peeled on the bluestone into the paper bag, find a suitable place and throw it away.
The servant girl immediately rushed forward to clean up, and let the young lady do this work herself, so what else do you want them to do? If you let the old lady know, how can you get it?
Xiaomi didn't refuse this time, wiping her hands with a handkerchief, and looking at both sides of the street, thinking that it was better to walk that way. At this time, I saw Shao'an coming over with a tray. There is a pot of tea on the tray, as well as a tea cup.
"The chestnuts have a dry mouth, let's drink tea and then go shopping." Li Qiyu said on the side.
"Well, thank you Gongzi Li." Xiaomi sincerely thanked him, and reached out to pour one himself. Although it was not the kind of tea she liked, this tea came at the right time, and she was really a little thirsty.
The two maidservants next to them complained and accused each other in a low voice, why were they so careless, they didn't expect to go to the teahouse opposite to buy tea for the master. Why didn't you pay attention, when did that Li Gongzi's little guy go away?
It seems that I haven't seen his master explain to him!
"Girl, can you eat this tea? Why don't you go to the previous teahouse and buy it for you? "The one who spoke was the one who grabbed the money before, and Xiaomi remembered that her name was Xiaoqing.
Xiaomi looked up at her, not happy because of her hospitality, but a little awkward. The tea that Shao'an bought is indeed not the same grade as the one he ordered in the teahouse, but it must be the best tea in this teahouse on the side of the road.
Whether it was Shao'an, this kid, was so attentive out of pleasing his master, or he bought it himself. This tea really quenched her thirst, that's enough, why is it so complicated?
"This girl is not such a delicate and fussy person, so there is no need to be so troublesome." Xiaomi said coldly.
"Yes, the slave and maid have overstepped." As soon as she heard that Xiaomi's tone was wrong, Xiaoqing was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
"This girl likes simplicity, if you want to stay with me, you'd better keep it simple." In a hurry, Xiaomi took the opportunity to show its attitude. She believed that the two maidservants would tell the other maidservants when they returned home.
"Yes, slave remembers." The two maidservants stepped forward, bowed their heads in unison, and then retreated back to their places with some fear.
"Your name is Shao'an, thank you for the tea." Xiaomi drank another cup of tea, looked up and smiled and thanked Shao'an.
"Hehe, don't thank the little one, this is, this is what the little one should do." Shao'an was a little flattered, and just wanted to explain that the master had just signaled him to go to the teahouse with his eyes, but when he saw the master shaking his head slightly, he quickly changed his words.
Hey, it's really not that he wants to fight for credit! However, it seems that he is quite smart, and the master can immediately understand what it means with a look. Well, the master will definitely praise himself when he turns around, Shao An thought beautifully.
Millet also smiled, got up and prepared to continue shopping, after all, it was still early for lunch.
When Li Qiyu saw Xiaomi get up, he also stood up, and Shao'an picked up the tray and trotted to the teahouse to return it. Suddenly, Shao'an stopped and looked at the person standing in front of him in disbelief; "Miss Xiaohui...... (To be continued)
