Chapter Twenty-Four: Whose Calculation?
Wow, that's a lot of delicious food.
I stared at a table of delicious sweets, and my saliva was almost full.
"If you want to eat, you can do it." Jiu Ye lightly took the wine glass and took a sip.
"Then you're welcome." With that, I took the soft green pastry from the basin in front of me. I can't stop holding it in my hand.
I saw that the white soft pastry in front of the ninth master was good, and there was red mixed in it, so I immediately stood up and reached out, but I couldn't get it.
Jiu Ye took one directly and stuffed it into my hand, I took a look at it, and found that I seemed to be really rude, so I smiled slightly and sat down immediately.
Jiu Ye stared at me who had been patronizing and eating, and looked a little dazed, because even he couldn't tell the difference: whether it was Xueyi or Shu Qiao at the moment, even if the two people were very similar, they wouldn't be so similar.
Jiu Ye was afraid that he would think too much, so he immediately took a wine glass and continued to drink.
I saw that he didn't say anything, not even eating pastries, so I stopped eating in my mouth: "Ninth Master, why have you become so cold again."
"You haven't seen me before, how do you know that I used to be cold." The Ninth Master asked with some doubts, but I said lightly.
I stuffed something into my mouth and said, "Oh, I heard Sister Wang say it before."
"Your sister Wang...... Have you ever mentioned me to you? The Ninth Master actually had a burst of anticipation in his heart.
"Yes, the eighth master, the ninth master, the tenth master, the fourteenth master and the fourth master, she has mentioned them all." I don't want the Ninth Master to have other thoughts.
"Oh." Jiu Ye said lightly, and suddenly felt a little lost in his heart, but fortunately, after all, people who have seen the world always have the ability to control themselves.
"Sister Wang said, it's good for you to talk more and smile more." I really kindly admonished me, I always keep my face stiff all day long, which is not good for my health.
"Really?" The ninth master turned his wine glass: "How can there be so many things to laugh at in life."
I listened to it, and what I said was indeed right: in the future, the nine sons will win the heir, and some will be big scenes, anyway, the doomed ending, what can I change.
When the Ninth Master saw me eating, his speed suddenly slowed down, so he interrupted me eating and said, "By the way, what do you think is better for me to give you Sister Wang?"
"If you ask, I'll ask the right person." I patted the powder in my hand: "My sister Wang, you don't need any gold and silver jewelry, you can just give her something special."
"Special?" The ninth master drank a glass of wine and thought about it.
I saw that he seemed to be thinking, and I thought: it is my wedding gift anyway, it is better for me to propose it myself.
"Ninth Master, why don't you give Sister Wang a wooden statue, I think, she should like to have such a small figure." I said happily.
"Well, it's really like her style." The Ninth Master looked up at me and looked at me embarrassed.
I laughed a little and continued to grab the contents of my plate and eat.
"It's getting dark, in a while, I'll take you to see Kong Ming lanterns." The Ninth Master looked at me and said.
"Then trouble the ninth master to pack these things and give them to my sister Wang." I don't want to waste food.
"Just buy her some new ones." The ninth master looked at the pastries on the plate and said coldly.
"Sister Wang doesn't like people to waste food." I sat up straight and said.
The ninth master muttered in his heart: It seems.
Jiu Ye looked at it a little stunned, he felt that it was not Xueyi who was by his side at the moment, but Shu Qiao.
"Got it." The Ninth Master stood up, not wanting to have too many illusions, and said, "Let's go."
Naturally, I stood up and walked over.
The four subordinates have already lit the lanterns, and the color of the paper of each lantern is also different, there are red, blue, yellow, orange, at a glance, isn't this a colorful lantern? All seven colors appeared, and it was really thoughtful.
The people slowly lit the lanterns.
All of a sudden, it was like the land was full of fireflies, oh no, big fireflies. Or colorful and dazzling fireflies, my whole body is immersed in this different world.
Suddenly found that the way you don't speak is really similar to Shu'er.
Perhaps, the first time I missed you, it was my fault.
looked at the people around him, but there was always a lingering shadow of Ai Shuqiao in his mind.
If at this moment, Jiu Ye knew that Xueyi sitting next to him was actually Shu Qiao, what would he do.
"It's so pretty." I wanted to thank him, at least, I saw such a beautiful night, really, really, so rare.
"Shh Jiu Ye took his hand, put it to his mouth, and made a shushing gesture. "Don't speak, just watch quietly." After speaking, I took off the cloak on my body and put it on the ground, and then, Jiu Ye and I sat down quietly.
It's okay to talk too much, and there will inevitably be flaws, so I sit quietly, and it seems to have become my habit to put my hands on my cheeks, and I quietly enjoy the beauty of the night.
"Alas, is the Kong Ming lantern good tonight?" Xueyi sat in my room and said with a grin.
"You did it on purpose." I put the pastry on the table: "Eat, this is your pastry." I can't help it, now that this misunderstanding has been opened, I can only accept it.
"Isn't it fun?" Xueyi said with a smile, in fact, she understands everything, but on the one hand, the reason is also for fun.
After eating and chatting, it is natural to rest.
Several days have passed, and after enough fun and food, it is time for Xuefang and Xueyi to leave.
"Xueyi, I don't know what to send you, I bought you some pastries, remember to bring some to my father and Xiaohai." I took her hand and said reluctantly.
"Okay, it's not that we won't meet, I'll come back next time." Xueyi said with relief.
"Okay, don't be sad." Gakufang stood next to me and said.
"Brother Wang, next time you come, I'll surprise you." Next time Brother Wang comes, the fourth sister should come, when the time comes, I must let them be together, since the two are happy, why can't they be together for so many reasons
"Surprise? I waited. Xuefang turned to the eighth prince and said, "Eighth master, then let's take our leave first."
Xuefang and Xueyi saluted, got into the carriage, and then waved goodbye to us.
I didn't cry, but there was a trace of loss, the hardest thing was parting, and the most painful thing was death. Since it's not the last time, I naturally won't cry.
I walked in with the eighth master, and before I entered the lobby, I heard a loud voice from behind: "Wait a minute."
Let's look back, isn't this the tenth master? I saluted with Bafujin, and the eighth master said, "Tenth brother, you are so reckless, but you are rude."
"I know Starling doesn't dislike it." Then he glanced at me and said to the eighth master: "Eighth brother and sister-in-law, if you don't go back first, I have something to say to Shu Qiao."
The eighth master glanced at me and knew that I might be annoyed to death by the tenth master, so he smiled and said, "Hmm." Then he walked back with the Beatitudes.
"Tenth Master, what are you looking for me?" I walked back to my own courtyard, since the tenth master is here, I have to give him a cup of tea, right?
"You also said that when you got married, Xiao Yu'er was busy with your gifts, and she was so busy that she didn't have time to eat, and she lost weight." Seeing the tenth master so upset, I knew that it must not be so simple.
"It's my fault that I let Xiao Yu'er be busy and don't have time to pay attention to you." I said in front of the Tenth Master.
"No" The tenth master was a little weak when I asked, and when he saw that I had been staring at him, he relieved himself and said, "Okay, okay, you guessed right."
I continued walking: "By the way, what gift did Xiao Yu'er give me?"
The tenth master immediately covered his mouth and said, "I don't know, I promised Xiao Yu'er what I couldn't say."
I looked back and saw him so funny, and I stepped forward and pressed forward.
Seeing that I had no intention of retreating at all, the Tenth Master immediately put on a momentum: "I'm a master, you can't treat me like this."
"What am I doing to you, I want to invite you to tea?" I said smugly.
"Of course, let's go." Then he walked faster than I did.
I stood in place, and I was about to start planning about Xiao Yu'er: it seems that I have to be optimistic about Xiao Yu'er's future, and I can't let her follow Abi'er's path anymore.
I'm practicing embroidery, and when I get married, I always have to prepare something by myself. This osmanthus fabric pillow was carefully prepared by me, and I spent a lot of time on it.
"Princess, someone is looking for you outside." A maid walked in, saluting and talking.
"Do you know who it is?" I put down the needlework in my hand and asked.
"One is the attendant of the former Ninth Master, and the other is a girl." The little maid said indifferently.
The Ninth Master Attendant? And a little girl? Isn't that the two of them?
I immediately got up and said, "Put it in."
"Yes." Little maid.
I immediately ran to the door and saw either of them.
"Shilan, Brother Eagle, you're finally here." I happily held Selan's hand.
"Sister Qiao, there are some delays, but we still have gifts." Shilan's childish face said. Even if I wanted to be angry, I couldn't.
"Alright, come in with me." I walked in with them.
The Fourteenth Master walked to the Ninth Master, and saw that the Ninth Master was sitting on the courtyard table very seriously and reading the account book, and he didn't speak, but the Fourteenth Master couldn't help it: "Brother Nine, you plan to stay here all the time."
"Isn't it good? I do what I have to do, and every qiē is restored to the origin. Although the ninth master spoke, his eyes never left the ledger.
"There is never an unchanging origin, and the origin you say is just an excuse for yourself to escape." The Fourteenth Master didn't shy away from it, so he said it as a matter of course.
The ninth master put down the account book in his hand and smiled: "Fourteenth brother, can you not speak so directly, anyway, your ninth brother I am also serious now, and besides, personal private matters are small, and brotherly righteousness is great, you don't want me to fall."
"Yes, Brother Jiu, you're right. I won't say more. "The Fourteenth Master must have been defeated by the Ninth Master's words, it's rare that the Ninth Brother has such a righteous heart, and he can't be extinguished.
Jiu Ye continued to read the book, and drank tea at the same time.
Seeing that the ninth master was so calm, the fourteenth master thought that it would be better to say some things clearly.
"Brother Jiu, Shu Qiao should get married in about half a month, when will you go back." The Fourteenth Master came this time, firstly, to see the Ninth Master, and secondly, to see what the Ninth Master thought.
"I have some big business to deal with recently, so I won't go back, and I will send someone to deliver the gift when the time comes." The ninth master said extremely calmly, as if this was just the wedding of an unrelated person.
"That's fine, after she's done with her marriage, we should also do other things." The Fourteenth Master also said indifferently.
I sat in my little study and started drawing. I can say directly that I am painting the wedding dress in my likeness.
Although I can't wear a wedding dress, I don't have beautiful photos, I always want to draw my own wedding dress, and I don't know if I'm so willful, it's right to get married here, but I always feel that life here is like a dream, and I should live according to the trajectory here. Instead of waiting for your future to be arranged by this world, it is better to arrange a perfect future by yourself.
I carefully painted every embellished place, but I never noticed that the little girl Shilan had quietly walked in.
"Sister Qiao, this is so beautiful." Shilan stared at me with glowing eyes. "Why is the front of this wedding dress only up to the knees? And the best thing is that this skirt is also so long. ”
"Because, this is something I've seen like this in other places before, and I thought it looked good, so I drew it." I can't explain to her that it's our 21st century wedding dress combined with an ancient wedding dress, because I'm going to have to explain, and to explain this kind of thing, either I'm going to have to lie, or I'm going to have to break it. It's nerve-wracking.
"Is this my sister's wedding dress?" Shilan picked it up and looked at it, and she liked it in her heart.
"My wedding dress, naturally, is set by the people of the Fourth Master's Mansion." I looked at Shilan and thought that she should use it in a few years, so I stood up and said, "I'll give you this drawing, you just happen to be able to make clothes, and you can also wear your own hand-sewn wedding dress in the future."
Shilan said a little embarrassed: "Sister said that I laughed, I am only fourteen years old, where can I marry."
Seeing that she was so shy, I still had to tease her: "Since you don't want to marry, then give me back the drawings first."
"That's not good" Shilan put the painting aside and said, "Since Sister Qiao gave it to me, then I can't refuse to accept it, I'll leave first."
I just snickered. But it's true that this fifteen-year-old girl is only junior high school in our time. How could anyone associate them with marriage.
"Papapapa......" The sound of firecrackers outside the Eighth Master's Mansion sounded, I stared at my box, and put the flute sent by the Ninth Master, as well as the jade pendant sent by the Fourth Master, the red luster just corresponded to my happy event today.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed outside, I immediately put the jade pendant in the box and covered the veil on my head.
Siniang walked in slowly, and I didn't notice that the fourth sister, who had disappeared for so long, actually appeared on my wedding day.
"It's not too late, I can see your most beautiful moments." Fourth sister.
I immediately lifted my skull, and happily ran over and grabbed the fourth sister's hand: "Fourth sister, where have you been in the past few months?"
"Today is your big day, I'll tell you about these things later." The fourth sister looked very weak, as if she had experienced a serious illness, and as if she had experienced something big.
"Fourth sister, what's wrong with you." I saw her weak appearance and couldn't help but ask.
The fourth sister shook her head and just said, "It's okay." When he lowered his head, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and immediately asked, "Why does your clothes only have one happy word?"
I looked down and saw that it was, "I was happy just now, but I didn't notice it, but it wasn't like this yesterday."
Who is trying to make a fool of me?
"Do you have a spare wedding dress?" The fourth sister asked worriedly.
I thought about it for a while, and it happened that my own design came in handy, and thanks to Shilan, I turned my design into reality and gave it to me as a big wedding gift.
I nodded, and that's the only way to go. (To be continued.) )
