Chapter 11: The Storm
Mrs. Fang, who has always been eating fasting and chanting Buddha behind closed doors, was almost furious after hearing the news, and was still angry after tearing up a broken teacup, and slapped the little girl next to her twice, she never expected that things would start in such a way, let alone that the woman who was a loser received such a big gift, gritted her teeth and pointed to the direction where the bottle lived and scolded, and slapped herself loudly, pondered for a long time and then ordered: "I will also go to Baoyuefang for a good look in the past few days." , in case I meet someone from Yixiuyuan again, I will pick the most expensive thing to see, even if it is my favorite ......"
"Who doesn't know that Madame has always been the most frugal, even if I go, will others think that Madame really wants to buy it? Isn't that a joke? Cuizhu, a maid who has been with Mrs. for more than ten years, couldn't help but say loudly, "It's better for Mrs. to swallow her anger, right?" Who made the master so partial? ”
"But ......" Mrs. Fang sighed helplessly, and only said after a while: "Forget it, don't embarrass yourself." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI see how long that little slut can be proud...... But how can I swallow this breath? You should have a tailor come back for me, and make two good clothes. Hmph, no matter how frugal I am, I can't stand her as a loser? Didn't they say they were going to a wine feast? I've got to get dressed up, too. No matter how much the master spoils her, he can't take her to Yixiu Garden, and there will be a storm in the city at that time. ”
Cuizhu didn't dare to speak again, she secretly felt a little funny, even if she really invited the tailor to come, I'm afraid she might not be willing to spend that manual fee.
Qian Jinyan and his wife also received an invitation, and in addition to the Qian couple, Qian Shaokang was also specifically mentioned. Qian Jinyan handed the invitation to his wife, and said slowly: "It seems that they have done some work, at least they know who our family is?" ”
"It's an easy thing to do, right? Just ask a little about it, isn't it immediately clear what kind of situation is going on? A complicated expression appeared on Mrs. Meng's face, "No matter what, the owner of this Yixiu Garden is prepared. They seem to know a lot about us, but we ...... him I can't even figure out whether it's a man or a woman, and it's the first time we've encountered such a passive thing. Are you planning to go to the banquet? ”
"Even if it's for my wife's illness, I have to go to Yixiu Garden to find out." Qian Jinyan's face raised an extremely complicated expression, and after a while, he said again: "That girl named Sun Yuehua, the person we sent has already asked a painter to paint her portrait, and she will be handed over to the capital soon." If she was really a disciple of that divine doctor...... It's just the right time to invite them to come to the house and give Madame a serious conditioning......"
"I'm still resigned to my fate, right?" A miserable smile appeared on Mrs. Meng's face, she took Qian Jinyan's outstretched hand, and said slowly: "I am already satisfied to be able to accompany my husband for so long." It's just that I can't bear it...... Xianggong should still listen to my instructions, find a suitable person as soon as possible, and take care of Xianggong for me. ”
"Madame is talking stupidly again." Qian Jinyan patted her hand and comforted her repeatedly: "Don't say such stupid things again in the future." By the way, Rong'er will come back in a few days, and you will be able to see your little grandson who talks about every day. ”
Mrs. Meng's face was a little pale, and she said the word "Rong'er" in her mouth, but it was only for a moment, and then she quickly shook her head, sighing and not saying another word.
In fact, even if their invitation was not sent, the people in Luoyang City were already speculating that Yixiuyuan would inevitably hold a banquet to entertain those with heads and faces in the city, after all, they were newcomers, and they had to pay homage to the people here no matter what. But the owner of Yixiu Garden didn't seem to be as they wished, although there were many people in and out of Yixiu Garden, they didn't see them prepare a generous gift to visit anyone.
But no one would have thought that among the well-dressed people sent out by Yixiuyuan early in the morning, someone would come to the Cuixiang Courtyard. It was a secluded courtyard on the edge of Luoshui, the same deep and simple, the same indifferent to the world, almost no one dared to disturb the tranquility of the owner of the other courtyard, but no one dared to ignore the existence of the master. When the people of Yixiu Garden, who had eaten the closed door, handed out the prayer post, and repeatedly emphasized that the host would be asked to read the worship post before deciding whether it would be a guest, even the person who opened the door was shocked: no one had ever dared to be so wild in front of the Cuixiang Courtyard. What surprised the person who opened the door even more was that after just a glance at the post, the owner actually ordered the person who delivered the letter to come over for questioning.
Not far away, the people who had been paying attention to the movements of all the slaves in Yixiu Garden were also startled. Although he didn't quite know what was going on, he knew very well that he had indeed discovered something amazing: the identity of the owner of Cuixiang Courtyard was extraordinary, but he was a person with an extremely strange personality. Then the identity of the owner of Yixiu Garden is even more suspicious, who is he sacred, and he can be received like this.
Especially after seeing the goose-yellow skirt appear behind the door, and then sent out the servants of Yixiu Garden, the people not far away were even more surprised, and he almost couldn't wait to turn around and immediately go back to report to his master.
Yixiu Garden is naturally very lively, and the news continues to come from the outside, which only confirms Bai Shizhong's conjecture before: anyone who leaves Yixiu Garden has a special person to follow them, and even the leftovers that are not used from Yixiu Garden have special people to check them, the purpose is obviously to find out their identity.
"Fortunately, we were prepared, otherwise, I am afraid it would be really difficult to deal with for a while." Bai Shizhong showed a rare smile on his face, but he quickly frowned again, he knew that it was too late to say anything, so he just sighed slightly and said, "It seems that they are also equally curious, wondering what you are thinking?" Have you figured it out? When will it appear? I'm afraid it will be a few more days before the new Lord Yin takes office, and until then, I'm afraid this will be the focus of the whole city. ”
"I'll have to hear what he has to say. Presumably I will be able to meet Mr. Jean this afternoon...... Auntie, right? Su Shaoqing's face raised a bright smile and said, "But I still think it's best not to alarm anyone, the more mysterious the better." ”
