Chapter 26: Powder in the Skirt

It was a two-hour journey from the courtyard where the old lady lived to the general's mansion, and with the old man in the car, the carriage inevitably moved slowly.

Bai Moyang was ready early in the morning, and came to Xi Yao's Cuizhu Garden early to wait to greet the old lady together.

After breakfast, the chessboard was brought to the front, and Bai Moyang held the black chess with his left hand and the white chess with his right hand, and he was very happy to play.

The red incense and the red candle were all rejected by Xi Yao, and for a while, the brother and sister lived together in the outer room of Cuizhu Garden.

Xi Yao rarely wears bright colors, but today she is wearing a pink dress, "Hongxiang, this girl has become more and more rampant recently, what's the matter, Lao Bai, do you plan to keep her?" ”

"Do you think that with this girl who thinks she is very smart by her side, you can see a lot of plans of the Wang family's mother and daughter?"

"So you're saying you're going to keep her?" The movement of turning the pages in his hand froze, and Xi Yao's face was rarely strict.

Whether it is on the twentieth floor of the underworld, or on a mission with Bai Moyang at the moment, what Xi Yao hates most is this kind of treacherous and disloyal minion.

"I know what you're thinking, but see your identity clearly, you are now the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, not Xi Yao, your joy and anger can't be all the same, and the things you can't get used to can't be emptied in front of your eyes, you are on a mission, you have to go in the direction specified by your task, and I think you know very well what to do with the rest."

Frowning slightly, Xi Yao suddenly approached with the book, Bai Moyang held Bai Zi's hand and paused in the air, watching Xi Yao get closer a little, "What?" ”

"You...... Shouldn't you like that girl with Hongxiang? ”

almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and sure enough, in front of his Bai Moyang, Xi Yao's stern sΓΉ couldn't last for three minutes, "Enough, don't make trouble, next, let's think about how to deal with the old lady." ”

Xi Yao's heart was refreshed, she enjoyed watching Bai Moyang helpless and helpless the most, "As usual, anyway, she doesn't treat these big children and grandchildren of the General's Mansion very well, let's be as good as Gao Gao Lan or something." With that, he got up and walked into the inner room.

The sunspot fell, and Bai Moyang seemed to have a smile on his face, "You really think so?" ”

"Well, of course not, I just don't want to admit that I want to go with you...... I know what you think, the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, so although the old lady is indifferent by nature, no one can deny that she plays a pivotal role in the General's Mansion, and now we have no Qin Mansion to rely on, and there is no other backer, but we have to go against the Wang family, we can only find a solid backing to rely on, and in front of us, this best choice is the old lady, so what we have to do next is to please her in every possible way after the old lady returns home, and strive to get her favor...... Am I right? After a few words, Xi Yao walked out again, but she had already changed into a light green dress. The ornaments on the head have also been removed a lot, and the whole person is dry and neat, and it is fresher than just now.

"Well......" Bai Moyang nodded deeply, "It's not stupid...... However, how did you change your clothes? ”

Holding the pink skirt she had just worn in her hand, Xi Yao pulled it hard, only to hear a tearing sound, the edge of the skirt was torn open, and she didn't answer Bai Moyang's meaning, Xi Yao said directly, "But, don't say that I splash you with cold water, this method won't work." ”

"How?"

Fold the pink clothes again and put them on the table, Xi Yao sat down again, "Women's hearts, you men can't guess it, whether it's an old woman or a little woman, it's the same, the old lady is also a woman, so her mind is not simple." On the surface, she may not be close to all her children and grandchildren, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't like it, it's just that people express themselves differently. Your idea is to achieve the favor of the old lady by flattering the old lady, which is very wrong. If Tong GuΓ² could be favored by the old lady, then HD Lan would have been able to get it a long time ago. Living to the age of the old lady, people's hearts are almost transparent, what kind of mentality you have to face her, she will not know, so if you want to get the favor of the old lady, you have to pay sincerely. ”

Bai Moyang hung his head, hiding a deep smile at the corner of his mouth. These are the words he wants.

Raising his eyes, the moment just now was completely gone, Bai Moyang pretended to say, "It seems to make sense." ”

His hands groped for a moment on the pink skirt, and slowly, he took out a thin and long strip of cloth from the stitches, which was folded thin and long, and was flat and hidden in the stitch margins of the skirt, which could not be found if he did not look closely.

Noticing this detail, Bai Moyang frowned deeply, and then realized that something was wrong.

"This is the masterpiece of the little girl Hongxiang you 'fancied'...... If I'm not mistaken, this cloth strip should be wrapped in the medicinal powder, but this is just a medicine primer, and when the old lady is greeted later, the mother and daughter will also take out the real medicinal powder, and others will not be in any big trouble, and if I wear this dress, I will let the two medicinal powders touch my body, and at that time I will not be able to say that there will be any stink in public, maybe it will be itchy all over the body, maybe it will be something else......"

"How did you find out?"

Turning his hand and pouring out some of the powder in the strip of cloth, Xi Yao flexibly pulled the strip of cloth back into the corner of the skirt, "As far as I know, the old lady has no special preferences, she likes to eat some snacks and loves some things that ordinary folk old people like, but there are only two dislikes: one is not to like luxury, and the other is to hate pink things the most." And this morning, Hongxiang only took this pink dress out for me to wear, and the red candle reminded me after she went down, and after taking it off and investigating it carefully, it was good to find this, otherwise there would be a big mess later, the first impression is the most important, the first time I saw the old lady after I came back to life, I made a big fool, and the old lady will treat me in the future. ”

"Now that they have set up an ambush, we can't sit idly by......"

……

"Miss, young master, the old lady's carriage has arrived at the corner of the street, and the lady and the general have ordered you to hurry up to the gate of the mansion to greet you." Hong Xiangle came in to report and found that Xi Yao had changed her clothes, and her face suddenly froze.

Xi Yao smiled slightly, "Hongxiang, I accidentally broke my skirt just now, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear this today, I saw that this light cyan dress in the cabinet was on the side, so I took it and wore it." You can take this dress down and see if you can sew it, and if you can, I'll give it to you. ”

"This, Miss's skirt, how dare the slave ......"

"The left and right are broken, it doesn't hurt to give it to you, I'll order someone to repair it when I come back later." The opening is not big, and it should not affect the wear. ”

Without waiting for Hongxiang to argue anything, Xi Yao and Bai Moyang had already gotten up and walked out of the house.
