The news that Miss Thirteen was going to move to Xianyaju soon reached Chun'er's ears.
She looked at Mother Wu, who came to tell her the news, with a stunned expression, and didn't come back to her senses.
Miss Thirteen is moving to Xianyaju? The closest yard to the main courtyard?
This news is a big surprise for Chun'er.
At first, Xiao Yuanxi was going to live in Xianyaju, but Aunt Lin said that Xianyaju was not as quiet as Chunfangyuan, so she rejected Steward Xue's proposal.
When Chun'er heard the news, she trembled with anger.
Chunfangyuan is indeed much larger than Xianyaju, but Chunfangyuan is some distance from the main courtyard.
Later, someone comforted Chun'er, saying that the reason why Mrs. Lin let Miss Thirteen live in Chunfang Courtyard was because the name of this courtyard had the word 'Chun'.
Hearing this, Chun'er's heart felt a little more comfortable.
But no matter how comforting she was, she also understood that the place she wanted to go to had always been Xianyaju.
If you can't see that person, no matter how big and good the yard is, it's not satisfactory to live in.
"Congratulations to Miss Chun'er, congratulations to Miss Chun'er." Mother Wu heard the news from Steward Xue's mouth, so she hurriedly ran to tell Chun'er. The people in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an have always known the amount of silver Chun'er took in the account room, so Mother Wu also wanted to ask for a reward at this time, "This must be the order of the Hou Ye, otherwise in this mansion, who would dare to say a word to Aunt Lin?" ”
After Chun'er heard this, she smiled even brighter.
Her wait seems to have borne fruit.
Chun'er took out the silver from her cuffs and handed it to Mother Wu: "Mother Wu, thank you." ”
Mother Wu took the silver. She was very happy: "Miss Chun'er said that she laughed, this is what an old slave should do." Miss Chun'er, this must be Hou Ye's order. ”
As soon as Wu's mother left, Chun'er felt refreshed.
It seems that her plan last night was still very effective.
The miracle medicine in the Western Regions is really colorless and tasteless, and even a powerful doctor like Dr. Zhou has not discovered it.
Chun'er took a deep breath, but still couldn't hide the smile on her face.
After Xia Ruan appeared, she had a hard and sad life every day.
Xiao Jiu is a concubine, and the rumors outside are weak and incompetent. Chun'er thought at the time. If only she had tried. Isn't it okay to be with Xiao Jiu? But Chun'er never thought that Xiao Jiu, who seemed harmless to that person, actually did something more amazing than anyone else.
The fourth prince and Wen Zhonghuai said some words, and Chun'er, who was sending tea, listened to them.
The fourth prince said: "He can go all the way to the present." Do you think he doesn't have any means? He and Li Changfeng are the same kind of people. Li Changfeng is a 10,000-year-old fox. And your ninth brother is a smiling tiger. ”
Chun'er felt at that time that the four princes were too much to promote Xiao Jiu. If it weren't for Li Changfeng's secret help, how could Xiao Jiu be the marquis.
But later. Only then did she realize how completely wrong she was.
Xiao Jiu's light was too dazzling, and the tiny dust around him couldn't be covered up at all.
Xiao Jiu is getting better and better day by day, and Chun'er is also beginning to panic completely.
The higher Xiao Jiu's status, the less she can get.
If that person was ordinary and not noticed by the people around her, she would have a chance to enter Xiao Jiu's heart.
So as soon as Xia Ruan entered the door, Chun'er was completely flustered. She never expected that Xia Ruan was exactly as good as the rumors outside, and her rich dowry shocked many people. Moreover, the Li family did not mean to give up Li Changyue at all, as Li Changfeng's niece, Xia Ruan naturally had more status than ordinary people.
It was at this time that Chun'er thought of Xiao Yuanxi.
Xiao Yuanxi's trust and dependence are the only qualifications for her to participate in winning Xiao Jiu's attention.
In the capital, she knew a powerful merchant who was said to have come from the far Western Regions. She once tried this merchant, saying that she wanted to buy a colorless and odorless poison, which ordinary people would not notice when they used it, but as time went by, this poisoned person would get sick from time to time and hallucinate. This kind of medicine can't be discovered by Daqin's doctors.
When the merchant heard this, he told her that there was such a poison.
The poison in the Western Regions is notoriously terrifying, so that the poisoned people can't find it at all.
It's just that this medicine requires a gold bar to buy a small bottle outside.
She wanted to buy it, but she couldn't afford it.
If it weren't for the fact that this merchant later saw her pitiful and sold her for a hundred taels of silver at a low price, then she really wouldn't have been able to carry out the plan so smoothly.
Doctor Zhou, it was also this businessman who helped her get her back to the countryside.
It's just that I didn't expect Dr. Zhou to come back so soon-
Chun'er was a little scared, afraid that Xiao Jiu would know what she had done.
After all, Xiao Yuanxi is Xiao Jiu's most beloved sister, especially after Xiao Yuanan's death, Xiao Jiu is even more obedient to Xiao Yuanxi.
Thinking of this, Chun'er tightly clung to her clothes.
She is not to blame for any of this, it is not her fault.
If Xia Ruan hadn't married into the Marquis of Chang'an, Xiao Jiu would definitely notice her in the future, and Xiao Yuanxi liked her so much, of course she could marry Xiao Jiu as his wife. Obviously, she met Xiao Jiu first, and it was she who fell in love with Xiao Jiu first, why is the woman standing next to Xiao Jiu now not her.
The corners of Chun'er's eyes were a little sour.
Now, she's winning the bet.
Xiao Yuanxi has a high fever and has always relied on her. Last night, Xiao Yuanxi's performance made Xiao Jiu understand that Xiao Yuanxi liked her instead of Xia Ruan.
Therefore, she was able to move to Xianyaju with Xiao Yuanxi smoothly.
Chun'er thought very clearly, even if she was a concubine, she would marry Xiao Jiu.
She loves this person.
Chun'er gathered her thoughts, and then pushed open the door in front of her: "Thirteen Miss, the slave is ......"
"Is that really okay? Madame, you are really a bodhisattva, slave and maid......"
Chun'er found that Xiu'er was standing in front of Xia Ruan in the house, with a smile on her face. And Xiao Yuanxi obediently and quietly held Xia Ruan's hand, and the whole person smiled very happily.
The smile on Xiao Yuanxi's face was from the heart.
The number of times she could see such a smile was only a handful.
Chun'er was stunned for a moment, why is Xia Ruan here? She just went out for a while, and Xia Ruan actually came.
And outside the gate, why is there no Yahuan?
Xiu'er saw Chun'er come in, and was slightly stunned: "Chun'er, Madam is here, why don't you knock on the door?" ”
Chun'er looked at Xiu'er with a stunned face, this dead girl actually called her Chun'er? But he didn't call her Sister Chun'er.
And Xiu'er's face changed from a smile just now to resentment.
"The slave maid greets Madame, and the thirteenth lady greets." Chun'er hurriedly saluted Xia Ruan and Xiao Yuanxi, she couldn't show a flaw in front of Xiao Yuanxi, let alone let Xiao Yuanxi know what she was worried about.
Xiao Yuanxi's smile faded a little, and the hand holding Xia Ruan tightened again.
Xia Ruan looked at Chun'er's first entry into the house, and her eyebrows revealed the spring breeze, and she knew that the news was put down: "You came back just in time, come to persuade Miss Thirteen." ”
Xiao Yuanxi listened, shook his head a little embarrassedly, and then hid in the bed a little.
After Chun'er heard this, she was a little puzzled: "Madam, what do you mean?" ”
"I'm very clumsy, and now that autumn is about to begin, I want to make a dress for Master Hou myself." Xia Ruan clenched Xiao Yuanxi's hand tighter, and then said with a little sweetness, "But my embroidery has not been very good since I was a child, so I want Xiaoxi to help me." Of course, you have to keep this a secret. ”
As soon as Xia Ruan's voice fell, Xiao Yuanxi became even more shy.
However, Xia Ruan didn't tell a lie, her female celebrity did a very poor job, not as good as her mother did at all.
Chun'er looked at Xia Ruan, her whole eyes widened, she couldn't believe what Xia Ruan said.
How can this person be so shameless?
Xiao Yuanxi's embroidery is indeed good, but compared with the powerful embroiderer, there is a big difference. No matter how Xia Ruan is, she is also a young lady born in a merchant household, if the embroidery is not as good as Xiao Yuanxi, then what qualifications does she have to marry Xiao Jiu?
Moreover, Xia Ruan actually called her to keep it secret?
How could she keep it a secret for Xia Ruan.
She couldn't wait to run out early and say that Xia Ruan's embroidery was a mess, and when everyone around her knew about it, this would definitely reach the ears of Xiao Jiu and Aunt Lin.
When the time comes, the person who makes a fool of himself will be Xia Ruan.
Thinking of this, Chun'er replied with a smile: "Madam, you are laughing, how can your female celebrity be bad." ”
"You don't believe it either?" Xia Ruan had a smile in his eyes, looking a little innocent, "Look at those on the table, they are all embroidered by me." ”
As he spoke, Xia Ruan stretched out his other free hand and pointed to the things on the table.
Chun'er pretended to be surprised and slowly approached the table, but she almost laughed when she saw the embroidery on the table.
This...... What is this?
Xia Ruan saw Chun'er's appearance, and continued helplessly, "Can you tell it's a butterfly?" ”
Butterfly?
Xia Ruan actually said that this is a butterfly?
Chun'er finally couldn't help but pinch her head and laugh.
Seeing Chun'er's sarcastic smile on her lips, Xia Ruan was not worried at all.
Her female popularity is not good, she has known it for a long time.
At that time, when she embroidered these things, Xiao Jiu also took a special look at them in person, and Xiao Jiu looked at them for a long time at that time, and didn't say a word, as if she was thinking about what she was embroidering.
So Xia Ruan couldn't help but turn her head to look at her handsome husband and asked, "Master Hou, do you think I embroider well?" ”
"Good, good." Xiao Jiu still had a smiling face, but his eyes were a little embarrassed, "But these little things, just let the subordinates do them, Madam doesn't have to work so hard." ”
Xia Ruan pursed his lips, and then pretended to be happy and asked, "Master Hou, can you see what I embroidered?" ”
The smile on Xiao Jiu's face froze a little.
After a long time, Xiao Jiu coughed and said slowly, "Madame's moth embroidery is good." ”
Xia Ruan almost laughed when she heard this, her husband's restraint and calmness seemed to have disappeared cleanly at this time.
She pretended to be heartbroken: "But Master Hou, I'm embroidering butterflies." ”
Xiao Jiu: "......" (to be continued......
