Chapter 244: Self-inflicted humiliation
"Miss Xiaohui, why are you in the capital?" Shao'an blurted out a question, guessing in her heart, who did she come with? Who to come to? Looking for a millet girl? Or are you looking for your own son-in-law?
Shao'an has been following Li Qiyu, although he has not seen this little girl a few times in Yunling Town, he has already seen her thoughts about his son-in-law. This is not unusual, Childe has a good family background, is good-looking, talented, and there are more women who have a crush on Childe.
Shao'an also knew that his son-in-law was not interested in this little girl at all, and he liked her sister Miss Xiaomi. Hey, if you like your son, you can't look down on your son, you like it, people don't mean that to your son, and Shao'an has sighed for his son several times.
Actually, Shao'an thinks that this temperament is still suitable for his son-in-law, and the one who is a sister is not worthy of his son-in-law at all. He couldn't figure out what Childe thought, but he liked the one who was his sister.
Obviously, a few years ago, I knew that the one who was my sister didn't behave like a girl, but now, when I have grown up, not only has I not become dignified, but I have become worse. It's all Lord Zhong's daughter, and I don't know where to hold it yet.
Even if you can't change your habits for a while, at least go out and put on a little outfit. But she's good, she doesn't even bother to pretend! I'm afraid she knows that she doesn't have to worry about getting married! That's why I'm so careless.
Look at the person in front of you again, how good Wenwen is quietly.
Shao'an just boasted in his heart, but found that he praised too early, because the girl didn't pay attention to him at all and went straight to the son.
Hmph, it's so rude, I looked away with my eyes, this is what I would pretend to be on weekdays? Shao'an pouted. didn't chase after it, but continued to walk towards the teahouse, quickly returned the things, and put two taels of silver on the counter.
Childe is a low-key person, and he can't move the name of the master out because the people in the teahouse are not worried about the teapot, or bet on some silver to save trouble.
In fact. Just when Shao'an stopped for a while. The people under the tree have noticed this.
Others don't know Xiaohui, but Xiaomi and Li Qiyu recognize it at a glance. The latter, of course, was visibly surprised. "Your sister." He turned his head and said. But after seeing Xiaomi's expression, she immediately understood that she knew.
Xiaomi didn't say anything, just stood there. Watching Xiao Hui get closer and closer. She was also as curious as Shao'an, and she didn't know which one attracted Xiaohui over. Myself? Or Li Qiyu? He should be Xiaohui's first love, right? Even if you have a better goal, it doesn't mean that you can forget it, right?
"My sister's heart is really big, the Luo family is in trouble, and I don't know how they will be dealt with. You're still in the mood to go shopping with a man. After Xiaohui glanced at Li Qiyu, she walked to Xiaomi's side and said with a sad and angry face.
Li Qiyu heard Xiaohui say this. His face changed immediately, but the person who came was Xiaomi's sister after all. He wants to see how Xiaomi reacts. In his impression, Xiaomi is a master who refuses to suffer, not to mention that Xiaohui has wronged her now.
For the sake of the Luo family, Xiaomi has compromised into Shangshu Mansion. This time I called someone to look for me, but also to make sure that the Luo family was really fine. If she is really selfish, these things can be ignored at all.
Because, from Xiaomi's point of view, the Luo family was actually not the benefactor who raised her, but caused her to be taken away not long after she was born, she had reason to hate the Luo family, but she didn't. Knowing that the Luo family was in trouble, she was anxious to find a way.
For the sake of the Luo family, she obviously didn't like to contact herself, but she still asked herself for help. If it weren't for her Yiluo family, Li Qiyu really couldn't find any other reason.
He felt that Xiaomi would be wronged and angry when he was accused of being wronged like this. But he was wrong.
Because at this time, Xiaomi's face was not aggrieved, nor was there any sign of anger and annoyance, but a smile rather than a smile.
Xiaomi is really not angry, Xiaohui's accusation when she meets, she has grasped the point. It seems that Zhong Shangshu decided not to pursue the Luo family's affairs, but this girl didn't know. lives in King Qin's mansion, but King Qin Yin Ziyan didn't tell her about it, which seems a little unreasonable.
That King Qin, who knew the relationship between Xiaohui and the Luo family, why didn't he tell her? Xiaomi tried hard to think about it, but couldn't think of a reason. There is a possibility that the girl didn't take this girl seriously at all.
What else could it be? That prince would never agree to Old Man Zhong's decision on the surface, and in private, he didn't plan to let go of the Luo family? That can't be said, if he really had such an idea, the Luo family's affairs would not be kept secret so well, and until now, no rumors have been heard in the capital.
Moreover, Xiaomi dares to assert that this time, the prince will not be good. He needs to rely on Old Man Zhong as a backer, so he can't go against Old Man Zhong. If you do something against the Luo family in private, sooner or later you will have to expose your stuffing, and you won't be able to hide it from Old Man Zhong at all.
The most important thing is that Old Man Zhong is very healthy, and the official position of this Shangshu, as long as there is no accident on the emperor's side, there will be no changes, and King Qin will not risk offending him.
"What are you laughing at, am I wrong?" Xiaohui saw that Xiaomi didn't respond to herself, but smiled and asked again angrily.
"The mouth is on your face, you can say whatever you want, I don't care. I'm just curious, you said I have a big heart and I'm in the mood to go shopping, so why are you going? Is it for the Luo family's affairs to move around?
Or did you just come back from a gift from the minister's office? Oh, I see that the things in the hands of those two girls seem to be from Chen Ji's shop, right? Xiaomi said without hurrying or getting angry, and her eyes glanced at the hands of the two maidservants behind Xiaohui.
When Xiaohui heard this, her little face immediately turned red; "You, don't go anywhere else. I have been the daughter of Lord Zhong, but I don't know the inspection yet, and I have been separated for more than a year, why are you still so ungrown? ”
"Stop, you hurry up and stop me. Who are you to teach me? Don't you know yourself? It wasn't that you were jealous at a young age, and you went to Lu's place to make a small report, and I am still living at my uncle's house.
Tell me about inspection, do you know the meaning of the word inspection, will you follow King Qin all the way to Beijing? If you know the checkpoint, you won't live in the Qinwang Mansion. Don't tell me. King Qin is not a man.
What's the matter, since you've bumped into me again, are you going to make a small report again? Then go, at this hour, Lord Zhong has already returned to Shangshu Mansion. Xiaomi shot back unceremoniously, not caring that it was on the side of the street at this time.
I didn't plan to let Old Man Zhong scarce his daughter, but he didn't have a chance. Of course, you have to make good use of it.
Albeit on the side of the road. However, Xiaomi's pitch is a little high, which still attracts the curiosity of some passers-by. Xiaohui regrets this, originally thought that he used this opportunity to bury millet. She calculated that the identity of Xiaomi is different now, and she should be afraid of being embarrassed outside.
However, unexpectedly, Xiaomi not only didn't care at all. On the contrary, there is also an intention to make a big deal out of it.
"You, you. It's unreasonable, I'm too lazy to embarrass people here with you. Xiaohui didn't dare to continue, if she didn't leave quickly, her reputation would be dragged down by her.
Millet saw her like this. Laughing even more; "Don't be in a hurry to leave, don't you see your eldest brother's friend here? Why don't you say hello to him, such a faux pas. It's not like your style. ”
Xiao Hui glanced at Li Qiyu with a red face, and quickly turned her gaze away. not without a false retort; "What big brother's friend, it's clearly a man who doesn't know anything about you."
With such ugly words, Xiaomi was still not annoyed, but deliberately looked at Li Qiyu. I saw that man's face was gloomy, as if it was about to rain heavily. Oh, it seems that this girl has really changed her target to Lord Qin.
"Oh, how do you say that? He is a man who is not clear with me, you disdain to pay attention to it, then you should also know that the king of Qin also has a little relationship with me, if it is according to your understanding, it should be considered unclear, so why do you still live in other people's houses and do not avoid suspicion? Xiaomi played with the handkerchief in her hand, slowly circled around Xiaohui, and asked sarcastically.
"You are bold, you dare to slander the prince so much, and compare the prince with such ordinary people, they are different." Xiao Hui's voice was a little out of tune because of his anger.
Millet turned to her, stopped, smiled and put her mouth close to Xiaohui's ear, and said to her softly; "I don't know what is different between them, but one thing is absolutely the same, and I would like to remind you that I will be kind enough to remind you of the situation of living with you for a while.
This ordinary person in your mouth, as well as the prince Qin, no matter who you choose, you will have the same experience, that is, when you enter the door, you have to take a sedan chair to enter through the side door. In other words, no matter which of these two men you marry, you are a concubine.
Hey, but everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't meddle in dissuading you. I hope your wishes come true! ”
The last seven words, Xiaomi's language is very slow, and it is said slowly word by word. After saying that, he didn't pay attention to the people who were already trembling. Greeted Li Gongzi, let's go, let's Yuxianglou go.
At this time, Xiaohui was poked in the sore spot by millet, her eyes were black, her chest was stuffy, and her body shook a few times, not the maid who was a few steps away with sharp eyes and stepped forward to support her, I am afraid that she has fallen to the ground.
Just now, the two sisters were arguing, and although the two maids were a few steps away, they could hear it clearly. However, this Xiaohui girl suffered a loss, but the two of them had no intention of stepping forward to help. The last time I went to the teahouse with Miss Xiaohui to see Miss Xiaomi's unpleasantness, I learned it to my master word for word.
After hearing this, the master was unhappy, and told her that the two of them should take care of Miss Xiaohui's daily seclusion, and there was no need to participate in other things. The implication is that after the maid figured it out, she understood that if she encountered something like this, she didn't have to defend Miss Xiaohui.
Therefore, I heard that Miss Xiaohui suffered a loss today, and I pretended not to hear it and didn't know.
From beginning to end, the confrontation between Xiaomi and Xiaohui, Li Qiyu didn't hear the last few words. However, seeing that Xiaohui was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, he was also curious because he didn't like gossip.
A few steps to catch up with Xiaomi, and asked in a low voice what he said in the end.
Millet smiled at him, and didn't hide it, just told him word for word. Such a man can also gossip, how can he not be satisfied!
No wonder, after Li Qiyu heard it, he really had to admire Xiaomi's mouth, it was really poisonous. He wanted to say that Xiaomi shouldn't have said that to Xiaohui, but thinking about it, Xiaohui didn't seem to be a good kind just now.
Moreover, the fire of war should have been ignited by Xiaohui first. deserves to fight with millet, isn't that self-inflicted! In the end, that's what Li Qiyu thought.
However, there is one more thing that I can't figure out. Even if Xiaomi and Xiaohui are not biological sisters, they have lived together for more than ten years, and they should always have some sisterhood with each other, right? No matter how inconsistent it is, it shouldn't come to this point.
When he confessed to Xiaomi in the back garden, it was Xiaohui who told the Lu family, and Li Qiyu only found out after listening to his friend Luo Qian talk about it after drinking. However, at that time, Li Qiyu only thought that Xiaohui was young and ignorant, and he didn't think much about it.
Now that I know, I understand that the girl is so scheming at such a young age, no wonder Xiaomi is not close to her. He didn't have any thoughts about that girl, so even if he heard that she entered Beijing with King Qin, and now she lives in King Qin's mansion, he doesn't feel anything in his heart.
To say that there was a relationship before, it was entirely because she was Xiaomi's sister, so, when we met at that time, I would be a little more patient with her. Shao'an's kid said several times that Miss Xiaohui was interesting to him, and he also scolded Shao'an for talking nonsense.
A dignified and intelligent girl is certainly pleasing to people, but what is the use of not being kind-hearted and not authentic? Marrying back, whether it is a wife or a concubine, is a restless person, so can there be a good life in the back house?
The unhappiness brought by Xiaohui did not affect Xiaomi at all, and the atmosphere between shopping and Li Qiyu was better. When I saw something delicious and fun, I bought a little bit of everything. The hands of the two maidservants of the Zhong Mansion were full, and Shao'an also helped to share some of them, and later remembered that there was their own carriage behind them, so they were free.
After getting along for a long time, Li Qiyu found that he was more and more unwilling to lose this girl. If you can get the top prize in the palace exam, will you be qualified to marry her?
This thought just made him feel that there was still hope, and when he was excited, he suddenly thought that there was a very serious and critical problem, that is, he had a wife, and Xiaomi made it clear that he would not be small, and his heart immediately fell to the bottom.
After having lunch with Xiaomi in Yuxianglou, the two went their separate ways outside the restaurant and went back to their respective homes. Xiaomi got into the carriage of Shangshu Mansion without any regret, but Li Qiyu stood at the door of the restaurant, watching the carriage go farther and farther away.
When Xiaomi returned to Shangshu Mansion in a good mood, she heard a news that she was very resistant to, and the emperor told him to enter the palace in the afternoon of the next day.
Why did the emperor want to see her, she really couldn't guess, anyway, it didn't feel like a good thing, because looking at Huang's expression, she felt that something was wrong...... (To be continued)
