438:-for-tat
As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge and hidden arrows are difficult to defend.
Xia Wen's arrival brought the enemy to the forefront.
Regarding her mother's letter, Xia Ruan was a little pleased.
At this time, my mother finally understood these truths.
On the contrary, Ai Ye, who was on the side, was dumbfounded, she hesitated for a while, and then asked Xia Ruan: "Madam, why did you let the fourth young lady come to the White Horse Temple." ”
Ai Ye has been by Bai Yanshu's side these days, and he has heard some movements in the capital.
She really couldn't understand Xia Ruan's approach.
Raising tigers is a problem.
When she was in the house in the past, she had heard people say that Xia Wen seemed to be a little inappropriate. Even, Xia Wen went to Xiao Jiu many times.
Xia Wen seemed to be hidden, but for some reason all these things came out.
In Ai Ye's opinion, these things are probably spread by Xia Wen herself, so as to test Xia Ruan's reaction.
Du Ruo, who was on the side, laughed, "Ai Ye, what are you worried about?" ”
"Sister Du Ruo, you know, Fourth Miss, she ......" Ai Ye hesitated for a while, then looked at Xia Ruan's eyes before continuing, "You have also heard of the things that Fourth Miss did before. This time, the fourth lady came to the White Horse Temple, didn't she become a teenager and block her wife? ”
Sometimes, Ai Ye doesn't want to make things so obvious.
Xia Ruan laughed instead, and said to Ai Ye, "Since you know why she came to me, you can just prepare." ”
"If the thirteenth miss and the fourth miss of the Nan family are right, let's see." Du Ruo also laughed. "Ai Ye doesn't need to worry too much, it's a good thing that the fourth lady came to the White Horse Temple."
Ai Ye was a little confused by Xia Ruan and Du Ruo's words, but she didn't ask again.
She is not smart, so Bai Yanshu often calls her a fool.
Ai Ye thought that as long as Madame knew what kind of person Fourth Miss was, she would also be relieved.
……
This night, Xia Wen didn't sleep well.
The next day, just after dawn, she got up and changed her clothes.
When the grass fruit enters the house. looked at Xia Wen in a daze. "Fourth Miss, the old lady has already asked people to prepare the carriage, you can leave at any time."
Xia Wen listened to Caoguo's words, and she was even more unpleasant.
The Li family actually asked her to go to the White Horse Temple?
This was not what she expected.
She thought she was going to cry and make a fuss. Even moved out of his own dead parents. The Li family will allow her to go to the White Horse Temple. Although she said that she was praying for Xia Rui's blessing. But in fact, how could she help Xia Rui pray for blessings? She longed for Xia Ruan and Xia Rui to die in front of her, like this. The Xia family's things are all owned by her.
"Second aunt, didn't you say anything else?" Xia Wen still couldn't figure out the reason for this, and couldn't help asking, "What do you have instructions?" ”
Caoguo thought for a while, nodded and said, "The old lady said, this time the fourth lady went to the White Horse Temple, and those old clothes should not be brought." Also, the old lady will ask someone to send jewelry over, saying that it should have been given to you a long time ago, but she was too busy these days and accidentally forgot about it. No, now that I think about it, I asked Caowu to send it over quickly. ”
At this time, Xia Wen was speechless.
Li also sent her jewelry?
She remembered that she had a jade bracelet of 100 taels of silver that she had in her eye, and the Li family was reluctant to buy it for her, so she would take the initiative to send something to her?
Before Xia Wen had time to think about it, Cao Wu walked outside the house and walked in.
She held a few jewelry boxes in her hand, and then slowly placed them in front of Xia Wen, "Fourth Miss, this is specially prepared for you by the old lady, you still like it." ”
Xia Wen's hands trembled slightly, and when she opened the jewelry box, she was so frightened that she almost stood up on the chair.
These things, she's seen.
When Xia Ruan got married, Xia Ruan had such a set of exquisite jewelry in her dowry. She was a little blushing at this, but Li didn't seem to see her expression, and still put these jewelry in Xia Ruan's dowry. If Xia Ruan hadn't insisted on leaving these things, I am afraid that these jewelry would have gone to the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an.
"This is, for me?" Xia Wen couldn't believe her eyes, this set of jewelry that she once liked most actually reached her hand, "Did you send it wrong?" ”
Cao Wu smiled and said, "How could it be sent wrong, this was handed over to the slave maid by the old lady herself, and the slave maid was sent to the fourth lady." Fourth Miss, do you still like it? ”
"Like, like." This sentence comes from her heart, this set of jewelry is worth at least a few thousand taels of silver. How could she not like it, "Thank you for my second aunt." ”
Xia Wen was overjoyed to see this.
Caoguo said on the side and took out the jewelry, "The slave maid put it on the young lady, right?" ”
Xia Wen nodded, "Okay." ”
These are like pies falling from the sky, which makes Xia Wen a little dizzy.
Li sent these things to her, did he want to give her more things?
Xia Wen knew that Caoguo and Caowu were the people around the Li family, so she said tentatively, "Caoguo, can the second aunt be happy today?" ”
"I'm glad." Caoguo helped Xia Wen put on the hairpin and explained, "The old lady said that the fourth lady helped the little master pray for blessings this time, and it was too hard for the fourth lady. However, she was happy. The slave maid looked, when the fourth lady got married in the future, the old lady would definitely be grateful to the fourth lady. ”
Li has always believed in Buddhism and loved Xia Rui, these words fell on Xia Wen's ears, so that Xia Wen did not have any doubts.
In the past, when she was with her aunt, her aunt said, "Li Changyue is a useless thing, if you treat her a little better, she will not forget your goodness." Such a person is easy to master. ”
She didn't believe her aunt's words at first, after all, she had tried her best these days, and she couldn't make the Li family like her more.
Her second aunt, how could she be a useless thing? The second aunt is shrewd.
However, looking at the jewelry she was wearing, Xia Wen believed the words of her aunt in the past.
If Li is smart, how can he not see it, what she said is a lie.
It is impossible for her to pray for Xia Rui, and if she does not help Xia Rui's villain, it is the greatest tolerance.
But that's fine, as long as Li is willing to believe her. Then when she went to the White Horse Temple this time, she would be able to figure out what Xia Ruan and Xiao Jiu wanted to do. Yesterday at noon, she received a letter from Tang Jingxuan, Tang Jingxuan said that Xia Ruan went to the White Horse Temple this time, which made the six princes a little suspicious.
In fact, the meaning of this has already been clearly explained.
Tang Jingxuan was inconvenient to go to the White Horse Temple, so Xia Wen naturally wanted to go instead of him.
Things in the court are changing rapidly, and Tang Jingxuan wants to be in the capital to observe the movements of Xiao Jiu and Li Changfeng.
Xia Wen looked at the letter and felt that it was okay.
Things that Nanruo can't help. She can help.
And. Tang Jingxuan defeated Xiao Jiu and Li Changfeng, and Xia Ruan would become a pitiful worm.
When the time comes, the six princes will ascend the throne, and Xia Ruan will kneel at her feet.
She'd waited too long for such days. I can't wait to raise my eyebrows tomorrow.
Everyone said that Xiao Jiu and Xia Ruan were talented and beautiful. She hoped that Xiao Jiu and Xia Ruan would become the most despicable and pitiful people.
On the way from Xia's house to the White Horse Temple. Xia Wen smiled happily.
When this matter was done, she took the initiative to mention to the Li family that she was going to marry Tang Jingxuan.
Trousseau?
Caoguo also mentioned it just now. Li wanted to thank her and seemed to be already helping her prepare the dowry.
Xia Wen couldn't help but wonder, would her dowry be more than Xia Ruan? More lucrative ......
The carriage staggered towards the White Horse Temple, and came to a halt after a few hours.
Cao Wu said outside the car, "Fourth Miss, it's here." ”
Xia Wen lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Du Ruo, who was standing outside the temple, hurriedly greeted him, "The slave has seen the fourth lady. ”
Xia Wen looked at Du Ruo and raised her eyebrows, "Sister Du Ruo is doing these days?" ”
"The fourth lady has tormented the slave maid, and the slave maid is doing well." Du Ruo smiled and led the way to Xia Wen, "Madame has already asked people to prepare a wing room for the fourth young lady." ”
Xia Wen knew that Du Ruo had been by Xia Ruan's side for many years and was Xia Ruan's confidant, so she didn't say anything more.
At this time, she didn't plan to anger Xia Ruan.
She wanted to know the news she wanted from Xia Ruan's mouth, so she had to come step by step.
In the White Horse Temple in summer, lotus flowers are in full bloom, and sandalwood wafts in the temple, mixed with the fragrance of some lotus flowers.
Xia Wen took a few steps and stopped.
In the distance, Nan Ruo was leaning in the pavilion, watching her smile gently.
Nanruo ......
How is she here.
Xia Wen's feet seemed to be chained, and she could barely move her feet.
Nan Ruo also found out that she was looking at herself, so she stood up from the pavilion and said softly, "Ah, isn't this the fourth lady of the Xia family, but by coincidence, I met here." ”
Xia Wen replied to Nan Ruo's words with a smile, "Why did Miss Thirteen come to the White Horse Temple with Yaxing?" ”
After finishing speaking, Xia Wen walked towards Nanruo.
Cao Guo and Cao Wu stood with Du Ruo, and did not follow Xia Wen to the pavilion.
"Alas, the fourth lady must also know that I will marry to the Pingyang Hou Mansion next month, right?" Nan Ruo covered his mouth and smiled, showing a somewhat shy look on his face, "Pingyang Hou asked me to help him pay back his wish." ”
The corners of Xia Wen's mouth twitched, "Wish?" ”
Nan Ruo smiled and did not answer Xia Wen's words again.
She said it here, Xia Wen already had a ghost in her heart, how could she not understand what she was saying.
Xia Wen listened to Nan Ruo's words, and she was a little unpleasant.
Tang Jingxuan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do well, so did he let Nan Ruo come too?
However, how could Nan Ruo get close to Xia Ruan, Nan Ruo couldn't help Tang Jingxuan with anything at all.
Xia Wen looked at the blooming lotus flowers outside the pavilion, closed her eyes and took a breath, "The air here is still good, unlike in the capital, where you always smell a copper smell." Miss Thirteen must be the same as me, she doesn't want to smell the copper smell in the capital, so she came. As for wishing......"
Xia Wen said that half was left and half was left, and she didn't directly say that Nan Ruo's words were a bit false.
"There is indeed a lot of copper smell in the capital." Nan Ruo took Xia Wen's words, "But there is a smell of copper, which is better than no copper smell." This smells of copper, which means that there is silver in his hand, but it is not like some people, who are shabby everywhere they go, and those who don't know her think they are beggars on the street, Miss Four, do you say yes? ”
Xia Wen heard this and revealed the bracelet on her hand, "What Miss Thirteen said is that these beggars never look at what they look like, they always treat themselves as swans, but they don't want to be just a dirty toad. ”
After Nan Ruo heard this, his face changed greatly. (To be continued......)
PS: The reason why it's been slower lately is because it's coming to an end, and I don't want it to end.
In addition, at the end of the company's year, I have to take inventory of the things in the warehouse, and I have to work overtime until 9 o'clock almost every day.
QAQ, I'll try to update it in the next few days.
I'm sorry to say to everyone.
