Chapter 138: The Puzzle
It's okay not to ask, but by her question, Xia Qiaoyun felt that her self-esteem was thrown into the mud by the other party and trampled on fiercely. In an instant, his face burned red, his eyes were full of anger, mixed with grievances, and he bit his lower lip and stared at Xia Xue'er.
She is not the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and she does not have a rich ancestor like the Zhao family, and she does not have a mother who can raise eyebrows with her father, and she is destined to have a different fate from Xia Xue'er before she is born. The degree of self-snack wearing is the same as that of others, although it is quite generous, but it is not the best, she just likes to pursue good things, is this also wrong?
New clothes will be cut every festival and change of seasons in the house, but the material is always very different from Xia Xue'er's, and only Xia Qiaohui, the little girl who doesn't know anything, is happy to wear such clothes! Although the clothes on her body were newly cut with the mansion at the beginning of spring, the old lady specially instructed Mrs. Wang that the fabrics and styles of the clothes were the best and most up-to-date.
She regarded it as a treasure at the bottom of the box, and she would only wear it on heavy occasions, but in Xia Xue'er's eyes, it was worthless, and she poured black tea on it the first time she put it on! Helplessly, the fabric of this skirt is highly absorbent, and it was dyed after only a while, and she was distressed, so she asked the maid to carefully clean several dishes, and the tea stain faded!
Today is the wedding banquet of the prince of Jian'an Houfu, and the guests who went to the banquet are all well-known figures in the city, and she also knows that such a grand occasion is not something that a concubine like herself can go, but she can't resist the temptation, after all, she will be sixteen years old in two months, and it is already rare for a woman who has not said kiss at her age!
I wore this dress and came out today, just to earn a superficial glory for myself, so why did I have to tear her down?
However, Xia Xue'er was indifferent to Xia Qiaoyun's appearance of wanting to eat people, and calmly met her gaze, without any waves in her eyes. Then he closed his eyes and leaned back on the cushion to recuperate. She didn't want to continue, and a smile kept on her lips, as if her inquiry was just a momentary auditory hallucination.
The weather was hot, and an ice basin was deliberately placed in the carriage, and the curtains were not pulled to death, and the wind that originally carried the heat blew in through the cracks in the windows and became cool after pounced on the body. Xia Xue'er closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but she could still feel the two sharp gazes from the opposite side fall on her face, and she refused to move away for a long time, until Cuizhu bent down and came in to add tea.
The carriage drove steadily, and the noise on the street gradually cleared up, and I don't know how many streets it passed, until the joy gradually became louder, Xia Xue'er opened her eyes, opened the curtains and looked out.
The street scene here is in stark contrast to the neighborhood of An Guohou's Mansion, with few vendors walking around and few shop fronts. As far as the eye can see, the main sights are basically the mansions of large families and the mansions of officials in the DPRK and China, and the gilded large-character plaques show the identity and status of the owner's family. The style of the building is without exception decent, there are few high-rise buildings, the fence stands high, it is difficult to see the exquisite scenery such as the tree shadow garden, pavilions and pavilions in the house, and it is a group of buildings of the age at a glance, but it is solemn and stumbling.
Since entering the residential area, the carriage has slowed down, and now it is even more stopped, and there is nothing to see outside the window, Xia Xue'er glanced casually and then withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes and waited for a long time and still couldn't feel the movement.
"Why didn't the car go?"
Xia Xue'er asked, and Dongmei half-lifted the curtain and replied: "Miss Huiyu, after turning this street, it is the Jian'an Hou Mansion, and there are carriages coming to the banquet in front of you, and the road is blocked." β
In that case, we can only wait patiently. But whenever Xia Xue'er goes out, Cuizhu will prepare a few books, or famous books, ancient score painting books, or miscellaneous travelogues, in short, she can pass the time, and today is no exception.
"Do you want to see it?" Seeing Xia Qiaoyun looking at herself, as if she had something to say, Xia Xue'er generously handed her a book.
Seeing this, Xia Qiaoyun was stunned, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, she never thought that Xia Xue'er would ask herself so calmly and without distractions, and after hesitating for a moment, she still reached out and took the book, but she never turned a page, she just looked at it stupidly, looking thoughtful.
After being silent for a long time, he finally asked, "Why?" β
"What, why?"
Xia Xue'er's eyes wandered between the lines, and at this time, she heard this brainless inquiry from the other side, and she didn't look up.
"You know what I'm asking, sue me."
Since Xia Qiaoyun didn't look at it, she didn't hand her back the book in her hand because of this, but put it on the small table in the middle of the carriage, pressed it with one hand, and used great force, as if she was afraid that it would fly away with wings.
Thinking of that day, Xia Xue'er first splashed the tea on herself, and then shattered the teacup thrown in the air, she still couldn't help but chill all over her body, as if it was not blue and white porcelain that broke into powder in the air, but herself! And she has always had a question in her heart, if Xia Xue'er really hates her in her heart, then why is she reluctant to do it, with her ability and scheming, it must be easier to deal with herself than to deal with Bai Yining; But if she didn't mind the mistakes she had made, then why would she say such things and act like that in the Bishui Pavilion?
After a long time, Xia Xue'er reluctantly raised her head from the book, glanced at Xia Qiaoyun, her eyes that revealed both expectation and fear stared at herself, and then looked at the hands that pressed the books, the fingertips were slightly white, the corners of the books were upturned, and a very obvious sunken palm print could be seen in the middle. Immediately, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, half reached his body, and forcibly rescued the poor book from Xia Qiaoyun's hands, gently patted it twice, and said: "My things, without permission, others have never been able to touch them!" β
In a word, just a few words, when it comes out of Xia Xue'er's mouth, it always makes people feel that it has other meanings. Xia Qiaoyun thought hard for a moment, and suddenly felt terrified!
"The cup that fell is my Xia Xue'er's, and the tea that was spilled is also my Xia Xue'er's, what you want is my Xia Xue'er's own business, if you really want it, then you have to have the ability to catch it, right?" "My things, without permission, others have never been able to touch!"
Although the two sentences are in different situations, their meanings are similar. Thinking about it carefully at this moment, she felt that she had been wrong from the beginning, how could she think about Xia Xue'er with ordinary people's thoughts? She's different from everyone else!
Bai Yining is the tea she has drunk, Xianglan is the cup in her hand, and even this book is an object taken out of her box, and she will be so confused that she will poison Bai Yining, and even more so confused that she will form an accomplice with Xianglan behind her back!
Xia Xue'er glanced at Xia Qiaoyun's pale lips, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and then she closed her eyes and went to recuperate. Last night's wound pulled the pain of the whole nerve, naturally I didn't sleep well, and I don't know what will wait for me for a while, so it is the most important thing to seize the time to recuperate.
