On that day, Li Chen invited Jing Ci to go out to play, but Jing Ci decisively refused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
She's got something important to do today.
"Siniang." Outside the gate of Yang's mansion, the coachman pulled the horse rope tightly so that Jing Ci could get on the car.
Jing Ci asked Fang Nian to prepare the carriage and horses early in the morning.
"Let's go."
I didn't see Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao in the Xiao Mansion last time, so she must have something important to do, so she went to visit them again today.
From time to time, Xiao Fu.
The maid added tea to Jing Ci, and before a stick of incense, a maid said with Jing Ci that Ah Lang was busy and couldn't spare time to receive her for a while. Jing Ci raised her hand, it didn't hurt to go straight, she could sit and wait. After a while, the maid on the other side said that Xiao's mother was not in good health and could not see guests.
"What's wrong with Aunt Xiao? Don't want to see me? Jing Ci looked at Xiao An, who was sitting with her.
"How could it be! A-Niang likes you so much," Xiao An sighed lightly, looking quite annoyed, "I don't know what's wrong, Daddy and A-Niang have had a weird atmosphere recently, A-Niang is in a bad mood, and she is very cold to Dad." ”
"Why is that?"
Xiao An shook her head, she couldn't figure it out.
The maid brought some snacks, golden soufflé, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, and milk.
Xiao An glanced at Qingnu and Fang Nian who were standing behind Jing Ci, "You finally have someone to serve you now." ”
"You know I like freedom, but I can't help the rules of the Yang Mansion."
"Although people have to bow their heads under the eaves, they have to learn to be smart and don't be too wronged by themselves. Hey, do you remember that Aunt Huang before? ”
"Remember," Jing Ci nodded, "relying on the fact that he was the person promised to Uncle Xiao by the Lanling Patriarch, he was arrogant and commanding, and he was very powerful, not only murdering us, but also pretending to be pregnant, and finally being kicked out of the house by Uncle Xiao." ”
"What's more, she also framed Ah Niang, while ossifying the relationship between Lanling and Ah Niang, she chewed her tongue to Daddy."
"But why did you mention her all of a sudden?"
Xiao An held Jing Ci's hand, "Aunt Huang is so scheming, A-Niang is such a supple and kind person, if she is really at her mercy, I am afraid that it will not be enough to die dozens of times." ”
Jing Ci raised her eyes in surprise, how could she remember that Aunt Huang was quite respectful to Aunt Xiao? Could there be something else going on?
"In fact, A-Niang had already seen through her fake pregnancy, but she never broke it, but secretly took precautions, and when she took the initiative to attack, A-Niang accumulated enough evidence to calculate the old and new accounts together, which eventually caused her to be kicked out of the Xiao Mansion, and the elders of Lanling did not dare to object."
"I see." Jing Ci nodded thoughtfully, Aunt Xiao is so smart.
"Now that you are living in the Houmen back house, you really can't be as arrogant as before, and you have to pick up and obey those who can affect your life and actions, and you won't be hindered at critical moments." Xiao An looked serious, these things, maybe only she could teach her.
"Well, Xiao An, what you said is not unreasonable." Jing Ci agrees that if someone breaks things at a critical time, it will be too late, and it seems that it is time to rectify the servants of the courtyard.
"Ah Lang Zhi—"
There was a bang outside the house.
Then a middle-aged man walked in, his sideburns were still green, and his eyes were bright.
"Uncle Shaw." Jing Ci stepped forward quickly.
"Jing Ci, you've suffered these days......" Xiao Zhizhong, who was belated, looked at the girl in front of him and looked up and down.
"To be able to see Uncle Xiao's family again, Jing Ci already feels that God has mercy." Seeing Uncle Xiao like a relative, Jing Ci suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart, these days, it is not an exaggeration to say that he will die nine times.
"Skinny, skinny...... A good child has become such a ...... in just a few months" Xiao Zhi's face was full of pity, and his words were sincere, "Are you still used to living in Yang Mansion?" If you don't get used to it, Uncle Xiao will try his best to pick you up. ”
"I'm used to it," Jing Ci comforted the elders, "Uncle Xiao doesn't have to worry about me, the Yang family didn't treat me badly." ”
Xiao Zhizhong nodded solemnly, "You must be obedient and obedient in the Yang Mansion, don't act rashly, your safety is the most important thing at the moment, and it is also your Uncle Xiao's concern." ”
"Jing Ci knows, he won't come nonsense." Jing Ci nodded obediently.
When it was time to eat, Xiao Zhizhong stayed for dinner, and Xiao Ping also happened to return from outside.
The Xiao family sat at the same table, Jing Ci looked at the table of people, exactly the same as when she was in Luoyang, before Daddy went to the manor and didn't come back, she often ran to the Xiao Mansion next door to eat, she liked the laughter of the Xiao family, and liked to eat happily with them.
But today there is one missing.
"Aunt Xiao's condition is very serious? My third sister is good at medicine, next time I will invite her to come and take a look at Aunt Xiao, right? Jing Ci misses Xiao's mother, who regards her as her own.
Xiao Zhizhong shook his hand, "It's the same as before, you also know your Aunt Xiao's body, the seizures have become more and more frequent recently, and you don't have to worry about it after a long illness." ”
"Recently, A-Niang's spirit has not been as good as before, and I think it is necessary to have a consultation." Xiao An said.
Xiao Ping sighed, "It's not that we don't know A-Niang's temperament, if she doesn't want to be a doctor, it's useless for anyone to diagnose her." ”
"That's it, let's eat first."
Xiao Zhizhong looked at the dishes on the table, and glared at the maid next to him, "Why do you put Lingbo vegetables so far?" ”
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to fetch the ......
"Crystal dragon and phoenix cake, roasted goose roast, soup bath embroidery pills, and Jin Suping, bring them to Jing Ci." Xiao Zhizhong continued to command, "These five dishes are your favorite dishes, the chef is brought by us from Luoyang, the taste is exactly the same as before, you can eat more today." ”
"Well, I ate with my belly open today, until I couldn't walk." Jing Zi laughed.
Xiao Ping raised the corners of his mouth, "Beware of eating too much, just pack it and bring it back if you can't finish it." ”
"It's a big deal, ask the cook to do it every day, and ask the little maid to send you to Yang's Mansion when you do." Xiao An said.
"Okay, you guys......" Jing Ci bent the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were not red, "Yang Mansion is not going to starve me......"
Everyone looked at Jing Ci, and their smiles couldn't help but float on their faces, fortunately, fortunately, they could still eat at one table.
…………
stayed in the Xiao Mansion until sunset, and Jing Ci reluctantly said goodbye.
Xiao Zhizhong was sent to the door of the mansion, and said earnestly: "Follow what you should follow in the Yang Mansion, but don't be too wronged yourself, if you are bullied, you must come back, Uncle Xiao will make decisions for you whatever he says." ”
Jing Ci smiled and nodded obediently, Uncle Xiao has always loved her very much.
"Aunt Xiao's ......"
"Don't worry, I will ask a famous doctor in Chang'an to diagnose and treat your Aunt Xiao."
"It's windy, get in the car." The cold wind was howling, and Xiao An urged Jing Ci to get into the car.
The carriage cooed, and Xiao Ping didn't forget to tell loudly behind him, "Remember to send a message if you have something—"
Although the winter is cold, Jing Ci's heart is warm, and it feels good to have family by your side.
…………
Back at Yang's Mansion, Jing Ci suddenly wanted to go to Yuyin Academy, thinking that she hadn't seen A-Niang for a few days.
Yuyin-in.
Aunt Ayuan was very happy to see Jing Ci, and she was as enthusiastic as ever.
Wang Wan had just finished copying the Buddhist scriptures, and it was rare that she didn't rush Jing Ci away, but drank a cup of tea with her. She finally stopped being as indifferent and ruthless as she was last time, but it was also bland.
"I like to be quiet, if there is nothing to do in the future, try not to come to Yuyin Temple to walk around." Wang Wan suddenly said lightly.
"Ah Niang ......"
"It's for your good, Jing Ci." Wang Wan raised her eyes, and her eyes were as calm as water.
"Jing Ci knows." She chuckled.
