Chapter 230: Their Plans
All the way back, Xiao Xia didn't talk to Yu Xiangxiang, even if Yu Xiangxiang kept saying good things, she didn't really get angry, can't she let her kick her nose get used to it, and there will be a good life in the future?
It wasn't until it was time to go to bed that Yu Xiangxiang helped Xiao Xia fetch water to serve her to wash her face and feet, and Xiao Xia gave her a good look.
Yu Xiangxiang glanced at her: "Are you finally willing to ignore me?" Miss Konatsu! ”
She bit the word "young lady" very hard, as if to emphasize: Look, I am not your maid, but I have done what a maid should do, I am good to you, right?
Xiao Xia glanced at her, shook her head funny, and went to bed by herself after washing.
After a while, Yu Xiangxiang turned off the light and went into the bed, Xiao Xia was about to fall asleep, and listened to her sigh:
"Alas, do you think I don't know that Xue Gongzi doesn't look down on me? You think I like to chase and rush up? Xue Gongzi is a good person, but also a good man, regardless of family background and character, everything is good, such a good man really doesn't know if Miss Su Er is blind, and she doesn't want to!
She doesn't want to be right, it's better to be cheap than other women who are not right-hearted, it's better to be cheaper than me. ”
Speaking of this, she sat up and pushed Xiao Xia to shake it a few times: "Xiao Xia! Xiao Xia, I know I'm not asleep, you get up and talk to me, get up! ”
Yu Xiangxiang dug Xiao Xia up stiffly, and the two sat opposite each other with the quilt in their arms, and whispered to see.
"Xiao Xia, I know that although you can't speak, your heart is like a mirror, I know what you think, do you think that I am not worthy of Xue Gongzi, my background is not good, and I can't give birth, I'm afraid that I will delay her, right?"
Natsu was sitting facing the outside of the house, and the moonlight from outside shone right on her face. It also happened to let Yu Xiangxiang see it clearly. Although Xiao Xia didn't nod, her expression was clear.
Yu Xiangxiang patted her: "I knew you thought so, stinky girl, I sincerely treat you as a sister, but you guard against me everywhere, am I not as important as Xue Gongzi in your heart?" ”
Xiao Xia's heart moved, and suddenly found that Yu Xiangxiang said that she was in her heart. Truly. She felt that Xue Yongan was more important than Yu Xiangxiang, just like her relatives, and Yu Xiangxiang had known each other for less than a month. They don't know each other's roots, and it's not easy to treat her as their own.
Yu Xiangxiang sighed lightly, a little sad: "It turns out that I am amorous!" ”
Xiao Xia opened her mouth to be comforted, remembering that she couldn't speak. But she still couldn't bear to see people so sad, so she waved her hand. It wasn't what she thought it was.
Yu Xiangxiang's eyes flashed: "Then why don't you let me get close to Xue Gongzi?" ”
Xiao Xia hesitated, lowered her head and pursed her lips without speaking.
"Didn't you say you didn't like Xue Gongzi? You know that Xue Gongzi likes you, but you hang others, do you want people to revolve around you for the rest of your life, and you can't get married or find a woman? ”
Xiao Xia was taken aback. He shook his head again and again, saying that he had never thought like this.
Yu Xiangxiang glanced at her: "I shook my head, you obviously did this."
Actually. Although I like Xue Gongzi, I also know that I am not worthy. Don't worry, I didn't really want him to marry me or take me as a concubine or anything, that was impossible, I just thought:
My family must be unreliable, I am now free, and I don't want to go to the Hou Mansion as a slave and a maid, but I can't float in a woman's family for the rest of my life, you said to find a small family or a country family to marry, right? People will definitely want you to pass on the lineage.
Even if you start to hide it, you can't have children after a long time, and people don't want to dislike you? When your old Zhu Huang takes you off and kicks you out, it's hard for you to find another person.
But Xue Gongzi's family is different, their family has a big business, and it is not difficult to raise an idler, not to mention that I like him and am willing to follow him, as long as I can be by his side to serve him for a lifetime, I will be satisfied! ”
Yu Xiangxiang said as she spoke, the corners of her mouth gradually raised, her face showed longing and yearning, Xiao Xia looked at her face in a daze, she had mixed feelings in her heart, she never knew that Xiangxiang thought like this, and thought that she wanted to hook up with Xue Yongan and marry into the Xue family and even had thoughts about other people's family property!
Alas, this is really a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, Xiao Xia was ashamed in his heart.
After a while, Yu Xiangxiang came back to her senses and pulled La Xiaoxia: "Sister, do you understand?" I really don't have any bad intentions, I really like Xue Gongzi, can you help me this time?
Or...... Let's follow Xue Gongzi together, right? Anyway, you don't have anywhere else to go, let's have a companion, just ...... In the future, relying on Xue Gongzi to eat and drink, no one dares to bully us together, what do you think? ”
Xiao Xia didn't know what to say, if he was really like what he told Yu Xiangxiang before, it might not be a good thing to live like this, but he had too many worries, and there were still people in the capital looking for him, and staying by Xue Gongzi's side was not a good thing for him.
Yu Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Xia's silent appearance and thought for a while: "Oh, I know, you still want to take revenge, don't you?" Sister, although my sister doesn't speak well, but the Li family of the Hou Mansion has a big business, and ordinary officials and eunuchs can't help them, let alone you are a weak woman? Aren't you going to them to seek revenge and send them to death? Listen to my sister's advice, don't go, let's go with Xue Gongzi? Yes? Good no good? You're nodding, huh? ”
Yu Xiangxiang shook Xiao Xia a few times, she had to nod her head and agree, Xiao Xia naturally refused, she had to get the colorful beads, even if she didn't go back to the capital, she wouldn't see those people in the future, at least let herself be healthy and able to speak, right?
Yu Xiangxiang was so confident about herself, Xiao Xia suddenly felt that maybe the success rate of taking her to the Hou Mansion should be much higher.
She stared at Yu Xiangxiang for a long time, gritted her teeth and turned around to take out the burden placed on the bedside, and opened it in front of Yu Xiangxiang, revealing the delicate big box inside.
Yu Xiangxiang's eyes immediately widened: "Hey, what is this?" What's in there? ”
She reached out to touch her, and Xiao Xia patted her, hitting her painfully, and quickly retracted.
Xiao Xia looked outside, it was dark all around, didn't he deliberately provoke right and wrong when he wanted to take out the Night Pearl at this time? She thought about it, lifted the quilt, and shrunk into the quilt with the box.
Yu Xiangxiang was surprised: "What are you doing?" I'm afraid I want your baby, don't I? Don't worry, I wish I had to wait until now? Hey, what are you pulling me for? ”
Xiao Xia pulled Yu Xiangxiang into the quilt. Rubbing open the box and taking out a night pearl, even if the bead was wrapped in several layers of thick black flannel, as soon as it was taken out, there was a faint light in the black quilt, at least he could barely see the other party's facial features.
Yu Xiangxiang looked at the thing in surprise: "This ...... What is this? ”
Xiao Xia made a silent gesture and stretched out her head to take a look, making sure that there was no one around before shrinking back. Carefully unwrap the flannel layer by layer. Before a layer was unfolded, the beads were a little brighter, layer by layer. Until the end reveals a palm-sized bead that is transparent but exudes a soft shiny.
Yu Xiangxiang opened her mouth in surprise and was speechless for a long time: "This ...... This is...... Could this be the legendary pearl of the night! Oh my God, there is such a thing! It's so beautiful! Xiao Xia, where did you get it? How much is this bead worth? ”
Xiao Xia carefully brought the beads back, and Yu Xiangxiang grabbed her: "Don't worry." Let me touch it too, it's so beautiful! ”
Xiao Xia didn't stop it. Watching her baby hold the beads in her hand, Xiao Xia kept watching, trying to see if there was greed in her eyes, if any. She will immediately go to Xue Yongan and ask him to put Yu Xiangxiang under house arrest, at least not to let her appear until she gets the colorful beads from the Hou Mansion.
Fortunately, her eyes were full of amazement, joy, and even a bit of admiration and awe. But there was no greed at all, and Xiao Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
After reading it, Yu Xiangxiang took the initiative to put the beads on the flannel cloth and wrap them: "Hide them quickly." If this kind of good thing is to be seen by outsiders, it will definitely lead to death, you girl, you are bold enough, the capital has come thousands of miles all the way, you have such a valuable thing by your side, you are not afraid of meeting people with bad intentions and stealing your things? ”
Xiao Xia Xiao Xia didn't answer, carefully wrapped the beads, of course she was worried, so she held the * scatter given by the Yuanfang monk of Huguo Temple in her hand at any time, once someone had bad intentions, a pack of * scatter was enough to let herself get out of the way, which is why she dared to blatantly carry the night pearl with her.
But after arriving at the Hou Mansion, this thing must not be brought in, after all, you can only enter the house as a maid or helper, and large families have to search their bodies when they enter the door, and there is a way to hide a small amount of * incense, but there is no place to hide such a large wooden box.
However, she has already thought of a place to store it, or it will be stored in the money bank opened by the Liang Mansion, she has the identity jade plate of the Liang Mansion on her, and the people of the money village will definitely keep it alive.
However, there is a disadvantage of this method, the capital will soon know that they are in Jiangzhou, and it will only take five or six days for them to fly pigeons, so the time for them to look for things in the Hou Mansion is only five days at most, and they may not be able to find it.
Another way is to hand it over to Xue Yongan for safekeeping, he is a trustworthy person, and he roughly knows his identity, although he doesn't have much to do with him, but Xiao Xia instinctively feels that he will definitely help, and he will definitely keep things well.
That's right, just give it to Xue Yongan, wait for me to get things from the Hou Mansion and then go to him, and then send Yu Xiangxiang to him by the way, so that Yu Xiangxiang can do as she wants.
Xiao Xia glanced at Yu Xiangxiang next to her meaningfully, and her ears were her muttering nagging, but she was thinking about how to tell Xue Yongan tomorrow, and how to let Xue Yongan tell Yu Xiangxiang so that she would be willing to go to the Hou Mansion with her?
Early the next morning, Xiao Xia went to Xue Yongan as soon as she got up, she was fully prepared, and admitted at the beginning that she was Yu Xiaoxia, the adopted daughter of the Liang Mansion, and she was also the side concubine who had married the third prince.
Although Xue Yongan already knew, it was still a little surprising to see Xiao Xia say it so clearly: "Miss Xiao Xia, don't worry, I don't know anything, and I won't tell others." ”
Xiao Xia shook his head, and took out another piece of paper, on which his plan was written, Xue Yongan read it quickly, and said in surprise: "What? Are you going to Dinghou Mansion Li's house? You...... Why are you ......?"
Xiao Xia wrote down the three words of colorful beads, Xue Yongan was startled, turned his head vigilantly to look out of the window, he stretched out his head to look, and confirmed that there was no one around before coming back and whispering: "Miss Xiao Xia, what do you want to do?" ”
Xiao Xia shook his head and asked him not to ask, then handed over the burden containing the eight night pearls, and wrote: "Xue Gongzi, those colorful pearls and these eight night pearls are related to my life, and when I get these few things, I can live safely, and then I can explain the whole matter to Xue Gongzi in person." ”
"What? Can you speak? ”
Xiao Xia shook her head: "You have to get the things later." ”
Xue Yongan stood up, paced around, stopped and stared at Xiao Xia for a while, and then continued to walk around, so repeatedly, he still hesitated, and finally he said in a low voice: "Miss, this night pearl is a thing in the palace, if I help you keep it, it will be a private tribute, this is the crime of raiding the house and destroying the door......"
Xiao Xia quickly wrote: "Don't worry, Childe, it will never be, even if I really find it, I will explain it to the emperor in person, and the emperor will listen to me." ”
Xue Yongan slowly stopped and sat opposite Xiao Xia, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Why are you looking for me?" ”
Xiao Xia smiled and wrote: "Because we are old people!" ”
"Old man? You ......" Looking at her familiar eyes that have been unforgettable for a lifetime and that she has missed thousands of times in her heart, an answer is about to come out in Xue Yongan's mind, how can he be a yaoyao? Distinctly two different people.
Seeing the affection unconsciously revealed in Xue Yongan's eyes, Xiao Xia was ashamed in his heart, it was obviously impossible to be with him, but at this time, he wanted to use his affection for himself to achieve his goal, was it too much?
Xue Yongan turned his head and sighed lightly: "Okay, I'll help you keep it, but Miss Xiao Xia is a weak woman, how are you going to enter the Hou Mansion?" ”
This one...... I'll have to ask him for help again, and I'm embarrassed, but I can't help it.
Xiao Xia wrote down Yu Xiangxiang's affection for him, and Xue Yongan turned his head awkwardly: "This ...... Thank you Miss Xiangxiang for your love, but I don't have a room around me. ”
Xiao Xia's eyes flashed, and her heart was even more moved, is it all because of herself? What a shame.
Xiao Xia roughly said what he thought, and Xue Yongan nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll tell Miss Xiangxiang later." ”
"What did you tell me?" Yu Xiangxiang happened to come in from outside the door, with a smile on her face, Xue Yongan immediately stood up, her face a little embarrassed.
"This ...... Miss Xiaoxia told Miss Xiangxiang about it, and thank Miss Xiangxiang for her love. ”
Yu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, then her face was flushed, and she turned her head and glared at Xiao Xia: "You little hoof, I also said that you are the least able to gossip, it turns out that you are the one who likes to gossip the most, see if I don't beat you!" ”
"Miss Xiangxiang is angry, and I have a reluctant request below."
Yu Xiangxiang stopped and shyly covered half of her face with a handkerchief: "If the son has something to do, just ask me, don't be polite." (To be continued.) )
