Chapter 42: Clever Tricks to Move the Water Eastward

While these thoughts were circling in her heart, Du Zhixuan also pretended to ask casually: "Auntie, I heard that there is a banquet in the house?" ”

"Xuan'er, who did you listen to?" Qian asked without thinking.

Du Zhixuan looked at the two mothers-in-law who couldn't wait to suddenly crack on the ground, and then jumped in and buried themselves deeply, and said with a smile: "That's what they said!" It was because of the banquet in the house that my carriage could only enter through the back door. ”

Qian glared at the two mothers-in-law fiercely, which was not good for these two people, but also pit her fiercely, and the mother-in-law did not have a good face, and decided to turn around and clean up the two mothers-in-law fiercely, but there was just the right amount of surprise on his face: "How come?" ”

"Alas, Xuan'er, look at me, I was so anxious that I forgot that you hadn't held a banquet, and I didn't know that it was not so easy to hold a banquet."

"For this banquet, the first thing to consider is which people need to post, and which people need to come to the door in person to invite? This alone will take at least half a month. Next, the refreshments, dishes, decorations, and training and arrangements for the servants in the courtyard took longer. ”

"So, to hold a banquet, without a month or two of preparation time, it is simply impossible!"

"......I see," Du Zhixuan nodded, "I wonder, I haven't received any news of a banquet in the house, why did these two mothers-in-law keep saying that the house is holding a banquet today, so they have to lead my carriage to the back door." ”

…… Can you not have a back door, can you not mention the banquet again and again?!

Qian was crazy in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

"I don't know who these two mothers-in-law instructed to embarrass you like this!" While speaking, Qian also glanced at the direction of the courtyard where Aunt Li lived, intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't directly tell Du Zhixuan, in this great Yongcheng Waiting Mansion, except for Aunt Li, there is no second person who will deliberately calculate Du Zhixuan, and spare no effort to find trouble with Du Zhixuan.

"Hmm." Du Zhixuan nodded, and said with an annoyed face: "No matter what, I am also the fourth lady in the house." If it weren't for the fact that these two mothers-in-law were instructed by others, how would they dare to treat me so arrogantly. ”

"I don't know who hates me so much, after getting the news of my return home, he set up one trap after another on the road, but he still doesn't feel satisfied, and he will calculate me fiercely after returning home. I don't want to think about it, even if I do go home through the back door today, so what? ”

"Could it be that my reputation has been affected, and the other sisters in the house will be able to escape? What a bunch of idiots! ”

"However, auntie, there are people in this house who dare to go past you to calculate me, this is obviously not taking you seriously! You have to check it carefully, don't be the gun in someone else's hand, not only affect your own reputation, but also make others provoke our friendship. ”

Although Du Zhixuan was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, the Qian family always had a feeling that Du Zhixuan was actually deliberately scolding herself.

However, soon, Qian slapped such an idea away.

If Du Zhixuan really had such a scheming, then she would not have been "killed" like this, let alone ......

Mama Yu, who received the signal of Qian's movements, took a few steps forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, I know that you feel sorry for Miss Four, but the weather is cold outside, why don't you go home with Miss Four first, and then chat slowly." ”

"Look at me!" Qian patted his forehead, this kind of coquettish action that should obviously belong to the little girl, when it was made by Qian, not only did not have a trace of disobedience, but also because of the charm and phoenix love that belonged to the woman on Qian's body, and bloomed with a unique charm.

Even in the memory of the original body, Du Zhixuan, who already had a deep understanding of Qian's appearance, couldn't help but be amazed at this moment.

Looking at the subordinates who came down from the carriage one after another, the corners of Qian's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help asking, "Xuan'er, did you bring these subordinates back from the general's mansion?" ”

"Yes!" Du Zhixuan tilted her head and looked at Qian with a kind of "Auntie, you actually asked knowingly": "Auntie, when I was in the family temple, I asked those subordinates who betrayed the lord to go back to the house to find you punished, didn't they come back?!" These subordinates don't know if they have eaten bear heart leopard gall? Neither of them will come to us seriously. ”

"Auntie, this fugitive slave is a serious crime, and there is no need for their families to call them back to be punished, just report their names to the government, and save us a lot of trouble."

…… In this case, it would be Du Zhixuan who said it?!

Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his long eyelashes covered the surprise under his eyes.

With Qian's understanding of Du Zhixuan's character, Du Zhixuan would never have thought of this, and would follow what she just said. Then, she can ask Du Zixuan why she doesn't trust the subordinates of Yongcheng Houfu, and wants to get back so many subordinates from the General's Mansion, this spreads, and outsiders must not think that everyone in Yongcheng Houfu has abused Du Zhixuan?!

However, Du Zhixuan, who was easily turned around by her in the ditch in the past, is so sharp today! not only avoided her calculations, but also turned her against her army.

Du Zhixuan didn't seem to see the thoughts on Qian's face, and added casually: "Auntie, you don't know, since I was a child, I have always 'stretched out my hands for clothes and opened my mouth for food', and I have never done anything to wash myself." After those subordinates left, I waited in the family temple for a whole day, but I still could not wait for the subordinates sent by the government to serve me. ”

"In desperation, I had to do everything myself. In just ten days, I was ten years older! Fortunately, my grandmother took care of me and didn't worry about me, so she took me back to the General's Mansion and invited the imperial doctor to recuperate my body, drinking different health pills every day. Otherwise, this time, you will definitely see me thirty or forty years later. ”

Qian didn't have to look back, he could feel the mocking and sneering gazes of the ordinary people around him who had been specially arranged, and he could hear their whispering discussions.

As long as she thought that after today, the perfect reputation that she had painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years would be greatly affected, and she was furious!

So, Qian, who was provoked by the raging anger in his chest and lost his mind for a while, sighed and looked at Du Zhixuan with a compassionate gaze: "I didn't expect that Aunt Li would be so bold and reckless......"

"Huh?" Du Zhixuan exclaimed, her face full of disbelief: "Auntie, you mean that Aunt Li stopped those subordinates you arranged to serve me, and wanted to make me suffer a little, it is best to make me old and haggard, and I don't look like a pampered young lady of the noble family at all, so as to bring out the beauty of the eldest sister with my ugliness?" ”

Without waiting for Qian's reply, Du Zhixuan said again: "Impossible! Although Aunt Li is my grandmother's niece, she is not a housekeeper, how can she bypass you, the housewife, and instruct you to arrange for someone to wait for me? There aren't so many gold, silver and jewels to buy them! It won't ......"

When she said this, Du Zhixuan bit her lip, her face full of anger.

Qian was overjoyed, but his face was still disguised worry: "Xuan'er, in the entire mansion, you are the smartest." I haven't been able to figure it out. Today, you're finally back. It is said that 'the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear', presumably, you have guessed who wants to be against you, right? ”

Du Zhixuan responded in a sullen voice, revealing an aura of sadness and despair from the cracks in her bones: "I always thought that although my grandmother didn't like me, she just ignored me at most. It's not going to be impossible for me to die right away, but ...... It's just, what exactly am I doing wrong? ”

Qian was overjoyed in her heart, as she expected, Du Zhixuan was suspicious of the old lady, but there was a look of surprise on her face: "Xuan'er, these words can't be said casually. ”

Du Zhixuan flattened her mouth and didn't say anything more.

…… I really didn't say anything more?!

Qian looked at the people who saluted and greeted him on the side of the road with a regretful expression, and his eyes swept over the few people who were waiting in the old lady's courtyard. In the past, Du Zhixuan couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion, and the more others persuaded her, the more she would believe that her thoughts in her heart were correct, so that Du Zhixuan, who insisted on going her own way, would continue to act according to the script she planned, so that when she just returned home, she officially started a fight with the old lady.

Unfortunately......

Qian's gaze lingered on the few grandmothers waiting beside Du Zhixuan, and he couldn't help but recall the message sent by Qian Shiya. finally had a clear understanding of Qian Shiya's statement that Du Zhixuan was no longer easy to deal with.

However, for Qian Shiya's vigilance and vigilance in her heart, Qian disagreed.

Years of pampering have cultivated Du Zhixuan into a lazy character, even if she has a good talent, but the acquired laziness can still destroy it lightly.
