Chapter 144: Ice and Snow Are Smart and Heavenly
Xiao Zihuan was also very unbearable, he had already blamed himself for designing Xiao Zijin to marry the prince, after all, Xiao Zijin had no intention of thinking about the prince, it could be said that he was exchanging the happiness of her life, but he didn't expect the current situation to be worse......
Xiao Zijin didn't care at all, even if she didn't care much about her lifelong happiness, her indifferent attitude towards anything has not changed from the beginning to the present.
Someone had asked Xiao Zijin a question before, but at that time, Xiao Zijin's answer shocked everyone, and for the first time felt that such a little girl was so terrible, and even sane to a terrible point.
The man asked her, what if you picked it up?
This person is an elder of Xiao Zijin, and he used this joking sentence to provoke many ignorant juniors of the Xiao family to cry, but only Xiao Zijin did not cry, and said with a small face with a doll fat, "Uncle, Zijin was not picked up by my father." ”
"Oh? How do you know? ”
Xiao Zijin was not tall at that time, so he could only raise his chin and look up at the elder directly, and said lightly, "Because I am a concubine, the concubine of the Xiao family's house is also the face of the Xiao family...... What's more, even if you really want to change the tanuki for the prince, it should be replaced by a male baby. ”
This incident shocked many elders of the Xiao family, and Xiao Zijin was only five years old that year.
Even now, Xiao Zihuan can still remember Xiao Zijin's indifferent look and tone when he said this, which is not like what a five or six-year-old girl can say.
Xiao Zijin caught a glimpse of the look on Xiao Zihuan's face. Knowing what he was thinking in his heart, his expression softened, and he said softly. "You don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to blame yourself."
"Zijin ......" Xiao Zihuan was helpless, so he could only cheer up and said, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
Xiao Zijin didn't speak, but silently moved his gaze to Liu Yufei.
Liu Yufei was smart and clever, so she naturally knew what was going to happen next, and she couldn't be heard by outsiders, so she went back to her room with interest.
"Did you really decide to marry her?" Xiao Zijin saw Liu Yufei enter the house. Only then did he ask coldly with a wooden face.
Xiao Zihuan's old face turned a rare red, and he coughed slightly with his sleeve to cover his face, and said in a low voice. "The wedding date is in the middle of next year, I wonder if you will have time to watch the ceremony?"
"Matchmaker, people, Fei ......" Xiao Zijin lightly opened his lips and said word by word.
"What...... What the? Xiao Zihuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and even his voice began to become unstable.
Xiao Zijin glanced at Xiao Zihuan. There seems to be a faint dislike in his eyes. Even there was a hint of arrogance in his voice, "What I'm saying is, matchmaker fee, it's been so long, it should be given, right?" ”
Seeing that Xiao Zihuan still didn't understand, Xiao Zijin explained, "I helped you sabotage Miss Liu's marriage, and later provided you with a lot of news about her." Shouldn't you even thank me? Do you really think you don't have to bother to seduce a man? ”
The corners of Xiao Zihuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he was so frightened by Xiao Zijin's cold look that he not only took a small step back. His face was full of helplessness, and he whispered, "I don't know who said it doesn't matter just now......"
"It really doesn't matter if you marry King Yu, at least Princess Yu's identity still has the value of use, but if you say Zhao Tao...... That's really not worthy of me. Xiao Zijin's always cold expression was full of disdain, obviously the months she spent with Zhao Tao really made her lose her appetite.
Xiao Zihuan sighed softly helplessly, removing the coat of the wooden beauty, Xiao Zijin's true face hidden under it made him even more cold.
"How much?" Xiao Zihuan asked directly, lest Xiao Zijin have other things at that time.
"Then 10,000 taels is good, seeing that you have been fighting with Shu Wangjin so poor recently and you are cousins and sisters, I will give you a preferential price." Xiao Zijin blinked, and he had a rare vivid side.
The corners of Xiao Zihuan's mouth twitched even more this time, it was just a headache before, but now even his liver hurts, he couldn't help but stroke his forehead and said, "Zijin, now I only have a few thousand taels on hand......"
He was right, last time for Xiao Zijin to enter the palace, he spent at least 50,000 taels of silver to deal with the relationship between the top and bottom, as small as the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, as big as Ning Tuoshu and the like, plus Xiao Zijin brought 20,000 taels of silver and jewelry worth 30,000 taels when he entered the palace.
And recently, he and Shu Wangjin have been fighting openly and secretly, and a lot of silver has been used, and now the silver in Xiao Zihuan's hand is indeed not much.
"Are you poor?" Xiao Zijin's voice was slightly surprised, but it was fleeting, the lines at the corners of his mouth softened, and he said softly, "In that case, what should I do with the dowry that Miss Liu wants?" Knowing this, I should have persuaded her when I was in the carriage at that time, a man like you who can't even get 10,000 taels of silver in his hand should not marry, so as not to suffer himself when he gets it......"
"Zijin ......" Xiao Zihuan also lost his temper with his cousin, so he could only smile bitterly and sigh a few times, and said admittedly, "Where do you live with King Yu now, I will have someone send you the 10,000 taels of silver in a few days." ”
Seeing that he got what he wanted, Xiao Zijin couldn't help but squint, turned around and left away happily, and left a word for Xiao Zihuan when he left.
"I forgot to tell you...... The prince has also come to Linshan County, it seems that he has been in love with Miss Liu for a long time......"
Xiao Zihuan was still glad in his heart that he finally sent this plague god away, but after listening to Xiao Zijin's last words, he couldn't be calm.
On the side of the county magistrate's mansion, Qi Xiuchao was still flipping through the books related to the plague in Linshan County, and suddenly heard a report from the porter, saying that there was an old man visiting, I don't know if the adults will see it?
"Old man......" Qi Xiuchao squinted, and suddenly thought that it might be the prince, so he let the man in, and when he entered the door, he saw that it was the prince who arrived in Linshan County a few days in advance, that is, the strange man that Lin Mei frequently met, he was the current prince Qi Xiuwu.
"Xiuchao, if it weren't for someone reporting to me, otherwise I really didn't know you were here......" Qi Xiuwu and Qi Xiuchao get along closely, and they are the rare two princes among the princes who are not secretly intrigued, sometimes even Shangguan Guifei can't stand it, and asks how his son is so friendly with the prince, but he is always perfunctory by Qi Xiuchao.
