Chapter 33 The so-called good policy
It's raining. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info like a hair-like drizzle fell one after another, gradually deepening the color of the ground.
The catkins that were still flying around in the air just now also rested on the ground because of the weight, and were trampled into a ball by walking passers-by, stained with muddy water, and looked a little disgusting.
But Xie Zhaolin didn't care at all, she patiently stepped on the wet catkins with every step, experiencing the dense and soft wetness, and behind her was the red love of holding an umbrella for her.
Next to her was the green warbler who was also playful, she didn't have an umbrella, she was just like that in the drizzle, she stepped on the catkins like Xie Zhaolin, and from time to time she let out a few hearty laughs.
Xie Zhaolin looked at the water droplets stained on the green warbler's hair and her smiling face, and couldn't help but be infected, and she also covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed.
How long has it been since you've laughed like this? It's been two years, since she entered the palace, she has such an embarrassing identity and the deceit in the palace. It's really scary!
As the laughter of the two of them rippled in the air, the silence of the previous death was broken, and Qian Yuanyuan came back to her senses from her contemplation. She glanced at Xie Jialin, who was gradually moving away in front of her, and finally made up her mind.
"Yilin, I didn't expect your fourth sister to come out today, but fortunately, she also came to Tongxinlou for dinner, which made you disappointed." Qian Yuanyuan said slightly apologetically.
Xie Zhaolin happened to step on a ball of catkins at this time, and when she heard this, she withdrew her foot, took another step and replied: "This is not something that anyone can control, besides, I don't feel unhappy."
She was really not unhappy, on the contrary, she was a little lucky. After all, if there was no Xie Jialin, Ma Gongzi would not have paid attention to Xie Jialin, so she would not be so easy to hide her unfamiliarity with Ma Gongzi.
So, in a sense, Xie Jialin also relieved her, didn't she? Although in that way.
Qian Yuanyuan naturally didn't believe her words, she just thought that Xie Zhaolin was trying to maintain everyone's beautiful demeanor.
Qian Yuanyuan was so angry that Xie Jialin would really be so shameless to eat at the same table with them and attract Ma Gongzi's attention throughout the whole process, and she naturally believed that Xie Zhaolin was the same.
So it would be most appropriate to persuade her now.
Just when Qian Yuanyuan was about to speak, Xie Zhaolin, who had been stepping on the catkins, suddenly turned her head and looked at her with those clear eyes.
For a while, Qian Yuanyuan actually had a feeling of being seen through, and the words that she wanted to blurt out in her mouth were stuck in her throat like this.
The two looked at each other for a long time and were speechless, only the sound of the rain that gradually fell echoed around them.
Finally, Qian Yuanyuan was ready to open her mouth to break the deadlock, however, at this moment, another Cheng Yanjin appeared.
A carriage passing by the side of the road suddenly stopped, and a round hand lifted the curtain of the car, revealing the face of a well-groomed lady.
It's Mrs. Xie!
She softly asked Xie Zhaolin and Qian Yuanyuan to get into the car, it was raining heavily outside, and it was easy to get wet when walking.
Mrs. Xie's kindness could not be refused, Qian Yuanyuan sighed, so she had to follow Xie Zhaolin into the carriage, and when she entered the carriage, she found that there was still a person sitting inside.
Qian Yuanyuan, a slightly mean-looking woman, also recognized that it was Mrs. Ma, the mother of Ma Gongzi.
Hiding the surprise that flashed in her eyes, Qian Yuanyuan sat silently next to Xie Zhaolin, brushing her slightly rain-soaked hair with her fingers.
Xie Zhaolin was also unfamiliar with Mrs. Ma, so he also sat there with his eyes down silently, and the atmosphere in the carriage froze for a while.
Mrs. Xie lifted the curtain and looked out the window again, turned around and smiled at Qian Yuanyuan: "Let's send Mrs. Ma back first, and then go to Qian Mansion, okay?"
I have to say that Mrs. Xie asked this very level, not only taking care of Qian Yuanyuan's emotions, but also not showing disrespect to Mrs. Ma.
Because Qianfu and Mafu are completely two directions, the time to go to Mafu and come back is completely enough for Qian Yuanyuan to walk back, but since the family got into the car, there must be no reason to get off again, so this wrongful road still has to run.
Qian Yuanyuan naturally couldn't have any opinions, so she smiled lightly and nodded, and then the carriage fell silent again.
This time, even Mrs. Xie no longer tried to liven up the atmosphere, so she was speechless all the way to Mafu, and before getting out of the car, a rare smile appeared on Mrs. Ma's mean face, and she said to Mrs. Xie: "I hope it can be decided next time."
Mrs. Xie took Xie Zhaolin's hand with one hand and patted it affectionately, and watched Mrs. Ma get out of the car.
This was originally an ordinary sentence, but it caused an uproar in Qian Yuanyuan's heart.
I hope it can be decided next time! What to decide? Is the marriage of the two families?
The conjecture kept her sullen until she stepped through the door.
In Qian Yuanyuan's room, Mrs. Qian was sitting there waiting for her, and there was a pink Xia Li silk at hand, which seemed to be preparing to make new clothes for her daughter.
Seeing Qian Yuanyuan coming back, Mrs. Qian immediately got up to greet her, and when she got closer, she found that her daughter had a bitter face, the corners of her skirt were also a little wet, her hair was damp, and the whole person was deflated, so she joked with her: "What's wrong with Yuanyuan, this look is not good-looking, how can Ma Gongzi like it?"
It's okay not to mention Ma Gongzi, as soon as Ma Gongzi is mentioned, Qian Yuanyuan remembered the ambiguity between him and Xie Jialin at noon, as well as Mrs. Ma's specious words just now, and the unhappiness in her heart came up, anyway, in front of her mother, she simply didn't pretend, and said angrily as soon as she stomped her feet: "I'm finished!"
After speaking, he saw the pink Xia Li silk, and added sarcastically: "It seems that my mother already knows that I am going to make small for others, and even the cloth for making wedding dresses is ready!"
Then he threw himself on the bed and began to cry.
Since ancient times, women who have married can only wear red for their wives, and they can only wear pink or other slightly different reds for partial houses. Even the concubines in the palace who were canonized at the same time as the queen were the same, because no matter how noble their status was, they were just concubines, just concubines of the Son of Heaven.
So it makes sense for Qian Yuanyuan to look at the pink cloth and say such a thing.
At this time, Mrs. Qian was stunned, and hurriedly went over to pat her daughter's vest and liver baby for a while, and finally got the words out of Qian Yuanyuan's mouth.
Who knew that Qian Yuanyuan wiped her tears and spit out her grievances, and Mrs. Qian smiled: "My stupid daughter, you are so naïve!"
Qian Yuanyuan didn't continue to cry this time, and asked with an attitude of being humbly taught: "What does my mother mean by this?"
"I'm just laughing at you for thinking too stupidly about the second miss of the Xie family. You've fooled her into jumping into the lake once, and it's true that she almost lost her life because of something good! So you're going to fool her into hanging again this time, can she listen again? If you want me to say, it's a good thing you didn't have a chance to open your mouth this time!" Mrs. Qian shook her head again and again at the thought of her daughter.
"Then what did my mother say I should do? Now that the Ma Xie family is about to get married, I won't do it at this time, but when? What else can I do!" Qian Yuanyuan wrung her handkerchief and almost cried again.
Mrs. Qian shook her head disapprovingly, and while taking out two bottles from the carved wooden box behind her, she said: "You are wrong again, don't say that you are married, even if you become a relative, there is still a way to use this." It's just that you have to be a later corrector, so it's better to use it now. ”
Qian Yuanyuan followed Mrs. Qian's hand and looked at the two bottles. I saw that they were two plain celadon bottles, but they were marked with "Jin Feng San" and "Yu Lu Shui" respectively.
"What is this?" She couldn't help but wonder.
Mrs. Qian said something in her ear, Qian Yuanyuan suddenly blushed, retreated again and again, and said, "How can this work!"
"Why not? I'll tell you the truth, that's what I used to get your father to marry me. If you want to be Madame Madame, you have to do it!" Mrs. Qian grabbed her daughter's hand and said sharply.
If you want to be Mrs. Ma, you have to be able to do it!
Qian Yuanyuan looked at the fanatical light in her mother's eyes, clenched the bottle, and secretly made up her mind!
