Chapter Ninety-Three: A Lot of Talk
Lu Yunzhi just said casually, he didn't have any sincerity, he just smiled at the moment, turned to Xia Xiaodong's side, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you all morning, and I don't know where I went." Don't be too busy walking, come with me on a boat to the lake. ”
Xia Xiaodong responded. Anyway, the garden is so big, you can walk around it as much as you want.
Qiao Qiao'er saw Lu Yunzhi's affectionate appearance towards Xia Xiaodong, but she was a little unhappy, her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "This tired garden is a big place, and it is good to visit the garden together when there are many people." But Sister Yunzhi, don't hide good things. Others don't know, but I know, your father bought the Moxiang Garden in Nancheng last year, didn't he? ”
"The garden is sold with a collection of books, and in addition to books, the bamboo forest and plum forest in it are all good scenery. When the plum blossoms bloom in winter, please go over and enjoy the plum blossoms together. ”
Qiao Qiao'er felt that her words were very good, which showed that she was well-informed - her father was Jing Zhaoyin, and it was quite easy to know the news of which family, so she had some affection with Lu Yunzhi, and mentioned the cold activities for a while, and also pulled everyone together, although Lu Yunzhi may not be invited, but if she did, she had to accept her Qiao Qiao'er's love.
"Hmm-" Lu Yunzhi didn't agree, with a tangled expression on his face, and looked at Xia Xiaodong.
It is true that Moxiangyuan was bought by the third master of the Lu family, but ......, it has already been given to Xia Xiaodong. In other words, it was used to exchange with Xia Xiaodong for the Suzhou stone.
It was precisely because Moxiangyuan was newly bought that no one knew about it, so when he learned that Xia Xiaodong wanted a mansion, the third master of the Lu family thought of this place.
There are tens of thousands of books in the Moxiang Garden, and the house inside is not big, only two entrances, but the garden is very large. Look at the begonias in spring and lotus in summer, watch the green bamboo in autumn and enjoy the plum in winter, and the scenery is good at all times.
The best thing is that although this garden is quite famous for its collection of books, the owners of the past generations are low-key people who do not like to be in the limelight, so owning the Moxiang Garden will not attract attention.
Xia Xiaodong was very satisfied with the many characteristics of Moxiangyuan, and soon completed the formalities with the Lu family. Even the title deeds are in place. even thought about waiting for the show girl to finish choosing, so he simply moved in.
Now Qiao Qiao'er proposed to go to Moxiang Garden to play, but it was not Lu Yunzhi who could call the shots.
Xia Xiaodong shook his head almost invisibly at Lu Yunzhi.
Lu Yunzhi understood. He smiled and said, "Many of those plum trees are old plums, and they need to be planted with care, even my father and our sisters. I rarely go there. ”
There is no explicit refusal, but the meaning has already come out. As for why you can't go to the garden to cultivate Lao Mei. You don't have to mention it.
Qiao Qiao'er's face darkened, but she still didn't give up, and reluctantly smiled: "Is it really not good?" Then I got plums when I got it, and my sister wanted a basket. Pickled in rock sugar. The sweet and sour taste couldn't be better, and my mother's favorite is steamed goose with sour plum. ”
This is even the filial piety card has been played.
Lu Yunzhi was very disgusted by this faceless and skinless style, and the corners of his eyes swept away. Pointing to the dishes on the table, he called someone to come and clean up: "This bone dish is full." Why don't you hurry up and change it, do you have to say it? ”
The maid serving on the side was a smart one, looked at the small dish with only one or two bones, and smiled very obediently to come over to change it, and said continuously: "What the girl said is that they are all slaves and maids who have no eyes, and they are really ignorant." After the festival, the slave and maid went to Mama Song to receive the punishment by herself. ”
Lu Yunzhi couldn't help laughing: "Just keep your mouth up, don't close it quickly." You don't have to be punished, just have bright eyes, be diligent with your hands and feet, don't just say it with a small mouth. ”
For a moment, everyone laughed with it. It's just that the look in Qiao Qiao'er's eyes is a little wrong, and even Miss Du stands away silently.
Lu Yunzhi was talking about a maid there, and he obviously thought Qiao Qiao'er was talking a lot.
A father like Jing Zhaoyin, within a certain range, still has some energy. But if it is an old family of relatives like the Lu family, it will not be enough.
If a person misweighs his own pounds, it will become a joke.
Qiao Qiao'er's mention was coldly mixed by others, and her face turned red unconsciously, but she could only hold back, and anyone who was close could see the side of her neck jumping and jumping.
Fortunately, Lu Yunzhi still had to say hello to the other table, so he quickly walked away, Qiao Qiao'er turned her head suddenly, glared at Xia Xiaodong fiercely, and couldn't find fault for a while, so she actually fired at Zhang Wenjuan beside her.
"Are you dumb?!" Qiao Qiao'er said angrily: "Didn't you rush to say something before, you want to visit someone's house." Why did I say let her invite us to Moxiangyuan, you don't know how to help?! ”
Zhang Wenjuan only lowered her head and said in a low voice: "In front of my sisters, I have the right to speak." ”
"Nonsense!" Qiao Qiao'er said angrily: "If you have the part to speak, of course, you have to speak, but if you don't have the part to speak, when you want to help me, you have to say it!" It's useless! ”
As he spoke, he stole his hand and twisted it fiercely on Zhang Wenjuan's waist.
At this time, under the cover of layers of clothes, most of the people didn't see it, but what Qiao Qiao'er said was heard by everyone, and many people showed disapproving expressions on their faces.
Between the ladies, of course, there are also levels.
It is very common for a lady to deliberately befriend another girl. Most of them are because they have something to ask for, or because of the poor official rank of their father and brother, so it doesn't matter if they stutter.
Most people want to make friends who are more noble than themselves, and at the same time they are befriended by people who are not as good as themselves, so they can understand each other.
You like people to come and enjoy the stars holding the moon, no problem. If you don't like someone, snub her, it's okay.
But in front of others, and even humiliation, then there is a problem.
This is a question of the quality of a lady.
Qiao Qiao'er is too much for Zhang Wenjuan.
Xia Xiaodong looked at Zhang Wenjuan, who was holding a bag of tears with tears in her eyes, and felt that Zhang Wenjuan's rank had really risen.
These two teary eyes, no matter how you look at it, are acting in their true colors, and the effect is excellent.
Qiao Qiao'er also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and angrily reached out and took the nearest plate of fried mutton with green onions, bite after bite, competing with green onions and mutton.
When everyone saw this scene, they all held back a smile in their hearts, but they were a little closer to Xia Xiaodong, and a few took the initiative to talk.
The two people who don't deal with it, now one of them is obviously not very good, so naturally the other person is better.
Especially the girl who had a mouth and told the anecdote of the county lord and the county lord before, simply took her dishes and sat next to Xia Xiaodong.
"I am the fourth child of the Qin Shilang family in the Ministry of Industry. Sister's surname? The girl laughed.
The squire of the Ministry of Works is a serious and powerful official, who is in charge of the distribution of many important projects. Xia Xiaodong naturally wouldn't deliberately slack off, not to mention that he had a good impression of this girl, and he also introduced himself at the moment.
"Is my sister and Sister Yunzhi old acquaintances?" Miss Qin Si unearthed the truth from the situation of Shicai.
