said that Xue Chengjiao went all the way out of the palace, got into the carriage but didn't tell him to go home, and went straight to Tan's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, at the gate of Tanfu, she unexpectedly met someone.
Yan Xi happened to come out of the mansion, originally he was idle today, and came to talk about Chang Nian.
And Yan Xi has always been not good at being bound by the rules of etiquette and religion, since he regards Tan Changnian as a friend, he naturally doesn't want to put on the shelf of the world in front of others.
So Tan Changnian sent him out, and before he reached the gate, he sent someone back.
At this time, he walked out alone, but he happened to meet Xue Chengjiao, who had just gotten out of the carriage.
He tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then approached with a smile: "Where is the county lord from?" ā
Xue Chengjiao came down with her back on her back, and suddenly heard a male voice, and she was startled at first.
But Yan Xi's voice ...... She still heard it.
After settling down, he turned around to look at him, and bowed: "Just came out of the palace, did the prince also come as a guest?" ā
It's not that she doesn't shy away from suspicion.
After living down that day, don't talk about Gao Xiaoli, even the Zheng family said - now that they have entered Beijing, it is naturally indispensable for the noble women to move around each other, but a character like Yan Xi, if they meet for a while, there is no reason to avoid it.
At first, Xue Chengjiao felt that it was very inappropriate, but then she pondered for a long time, but she also saw it.
She doesn't see a foreign man every day, but she just happened to meet outside, and gossip is still made, otherwise it would seem like she was hypocritical.
Yan Xi snorted: "It's okay to be idle, come and sit down." ā
After he finished speaking, he saw Xue Chengjiao holding a brocade box in his hand, and sighed: "The county lord is sending something?" ā
Xue Chengjiao subconsciously glanced down at the thing in his hand, smiled and stiffened first, and then nodded: "It was sent to Tan Ji." ā
Yan Xi's mind turned, and after a while, he asked, "Brought out from the palace?" Or did the county lord bring it into the palace first, and then come by when he left the palace? ā
Xue Chengjiao sighed, but didn't reply to him for a while.
Her silence, in Yan Xi's opinion, was particularly suspicious.
So his eyes were even more fixed on the brocade box.
The red square box, carved is a picture of a dragon and a phoenix, he has seen a lot of things in the palace, just take a closer look, and immediately recognize it.
But it was only because he recognized it that he frowned: "Is this what the concubine asked the county lord to bring out?" ā
Xue Chengjiao coughed lightly and nodded.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he found that Yan Xi was frowning, so he tilted his head and explained: "The concubine picked two palace flowers, and it happened that she asked me to enter the palace today, so she brought them out." ā
"You ......" The corners of Yan Xi's mouth moved slightly, and the words were retracted when they reached her mouth.
As he said to Cui Min, he is not a complete gentleman.
He still understands this idea entanglement.
Talking about the status of the concubine in the palace, outsiders don't know, he has a clear heart.
Now the concubine is asking someone to bring things out, and why don't the people next to her look for it? Why did you find Xue Chengjiao?
A sneer curled into Yan Xi's lips.
Xue Chengjiao looked a little chilled when he looked at him, and subconsciously took two steps back: "If the prince has nothing else, I will go in first." ā
"Wait."
As soon as she staggered past Yan Xi's side, Yan Xi had already opened her mouth to stop her.
Xue Chengjiao paused, turned around and looked over: "Is there anything else to do with the son?" ā
Yan Xi took a breath: "In the future, when you enter the palace, please return and ask for peace, don't take things out casually." ā
Xue Chengjiao's heart sank.
Sure enough, is there something wrong with this box?
It's just that Yan Xi didn't seem to want to say more to her, but just glanced at her deeply: "Put your things and go home quickly, I will go to Gaofu to find your cousin in a while, if you have anything to say, you can ask him yourself when you get home." ā
Xue Chengjiao's head tilted slightly, and he took his words in his heart a few times before he understood.
Yan Xi may not really want to go to her cousin, it's just a problem with this box, he can't talk to her again, and this is at the door of the family's house.
He was going to go home and tell his cousin that she would go and listen to his cousin's explanation.
Even though Xue Chengjiao had thousands of doubts in her heart at this time, she couldn't ask again.
So I had to salute again: "Thank you, Shizi." ā
Seeing her say this, Yan Xi thought that she understood his words, and her brows stretched slightly: "The county lord go in, this is all a trivial matter." ā
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xue Chengjiao stood at the door for a while, looked up at the vermilion plaque at the gate of Tanfu, and took a deep breath.
Wei Shu followed beside him and called the girl.
Xue Chengjiao turned her head to look at her, signaling that she had something to say.
Wei Shu bit his lower lip lightly: "Then shall we still go in?" ā
Xue Chengjiao smiled lightly: "Everything is taken, can you not go in?" As she spoke, she reached out and gently squeezed Wei Shu, "Let's go and talk back." ā
Wei Shu hesitated for a moment, but stepped forward to deliver the message.
Not long after, someone came out of it and welcomed Xue Chengjiao into the house.
Xue Chengjiao looked at it fixedly, and found that it was Tan Ji himself who came out to greet her.
She thought for a moment, lifted the hem of her skirt, and stepped closer: "Why didn't you go to the banquet today?" ā
Tan Ji smiled and greeted her inside: "Didn't you go too?" ā
Xue Chengjiao sighed, moved the brocade box in his hand, but didn't pick it up: "The concubine summoned me to the palace, and I sent someone to tell Yan Qi." ā
Tan Ji's smile was obviously stiff on his face.
Xue Chengjiao saw it in her eyes and narrowed her eyes even more.
It's just that the conversation calmed down quickly, and asked her softly, "What did your aunt tell you to do?" ā
Xue Chengjiao shook the box in his hand with her at this time: "It's just a few words of gossip, when I came out, the concubine asked me to bring these two palace flowers out for you, saying that there is no such style outside now, so let's wear a fresh picture for you." ā
Tan Ji smiled even more, stretched out his hand to take it, but I didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but I said a few more words: "My aunt has always been like this, I don't like to call the eunuchs in the palace to give rewards, I always feel that I am angry." In the past, Yan Qi went to the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and her aunt asked her to bring me something out. ā
Xue Chengjiao sighed and looked at her quietly: "The concubine has said this." ā
Tan Ji sighed in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic: "It's a coincidence that you came, Brother Yan Xi came over today, and my brother asked someone to take a lot of snow water from last year, can you also taste it?" ā
"Nope." Xue Chengjiao looked at the smile on her lips becoming more and more stiff, but she still had to make a warm appearance, and she only felt that there must be something wrong with this matter.
Thinking of this, where do you have any thoughts to chat with her and eat tea.
So he said goodbye to Tan Ji: "There are still some things at home, my aunt wants to give me two new bracelets, and she is still waiting for me to go home and choose materials." ā
Tan Ji bit his lower lip, and saw that he couldn't keep her, so he had to nod, handed the brocade box to the girl, and then sent her out of the house again. (To be continued.) )
