Chapter Ninety-Eight: Flattery
When Xu Changfang was there, the relationship between the Xu family and the Qiu family was very good, otherwise Xu Jinyan and Qiao Yurong would not have been married.
Ruyi Lane and Jiuru Lane were originally an alley, once lived in the founding general Zhong Rujing of the previous dynasty, and later Zhong Rujing was named the king with a different surname, the title Pingliang, and the alley was also renamed Pingliang Lane.
Zhong Rujing is a very smart person, since ancient times, the king with different surnames has nothing to do, Zhong Rujing in order to have a good start and a good end, after being named the king of Pingliang, the old Zhong family opened the ancestral hall and removed himself from the family tree. Zhong Rujing himself has no descendants, after Zhong Rujing's death, Pingliang Lane Pingliang Wangfu was divided into two by the saint and rewarded to the Wen Zhuangyuan and Wu Zhuangyuan at that time. Pingliang Lane is also divided into Ruyi Lane and Jiuru Lane.
The Xu family and the Qiu family moved in at about the same time.
Therefore, the layout of the Qiu Mansion is almost exactly the same as that of the Xu Mansion.
Xu Qiyao pursed her lips and smiled: "A few years ago, I thought that the flowers and plants here were beautiful, and Sister Qiu was also good-natured, and these eighteen bachelors were pruned more and more refined." said that the houses of our two families are separated, and the layout is almost the same, but when you compare these flowers and plants, Sister Qiu's side is much better. ”
Xu Qiyun was not to be left behind, and also said: "Are these eighteen bachelors actually pruned by Sister Qiu herself?" The big sister didn't say it, Yun'er thought that she had invited a capable person from somewhere! ”
Qiu Yuanyuan was praised for her five-body understanding, glanced at Xu Qirong with a smile, and then remembered that Xu Qirong had a bad voice, and turned her head to ask Xu Qijin: "What does Second Sister Xu think?" ”
Xu Qijin has been the county lord's companion in Yuwang's Mansion for many years, and because of the relationship between the county lord of Jiaren, he often goes in and out of the eldest princess's mansion and the general's mansion.
This eighteenth bachelor plant is a very ordinary variety in her eyes, and now it has passed the flowering period, and the branches and leaves are pruned to look like immortals guiding the way, but it is a little too much.
You can't say this to Miss Qiu Er.
Xu Qijin smiled and nodded: "I won't look at this, the eldest sister and the third sister said yes, then it's good." ”
Qiu Yuanyuan was proud but did not forget to flatter Xu Qijin, and said with a smile: "Sister, this is inevitably too modest, just ask Xijing City, who doesn't know that the second miss of the Xu family is quick and prosperous, I have this ability, in front of my sister, this is ugly." ”
Xu Qijin pursed her lips and didn't speak, she was not happy with the flattery of Qiu Yuanyuan's sister and sister here. First, Xu Qijin is a little arrogant, and he can't look down on Miss Qiu Er's style; Second, the county lord of frost mercy is her friend, and the county lord of frost mercy hates his brother as a quasi-side concubine very much, and Xu Qijin has no reason to make friends with Miss Qiu Er again.
Xu Qijin's attitude, Qiu Yuanyuan was not angry, and still greeted him with a smile. But Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun were so angry that they choked.
Xu Qiyun's temperament is not as "steady" as Xu Qiyao, and he turned his head and whispered to Xu Qiyu behind him: "Look at her crazy appearance!" ”
Xu Qiyu smiled, did not refute or respond, and kept his eyes on Xu Qirong. In the entire Xu family, except for Master Xu Si and Xu Qijin, Xu Qiyu has the most contact with Lanzhi Academy. Xu Qiyu is not a fool, and now he has noticed that something is wrong. There was no one in Fengbo Building, there was no word all the way to Jiangzhou, and now his throat was uncomfortable, and the guess in Xu Qiyu's heart was only one chance to confirm.
Xu Qiyu's eyes rolled, and when she saw that Xu Qiyun was about to step forward and continue to talk to Miss Qiu Er, she hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said to Xu Qiyun: "Who is crazy that the third sister said?" ”
Xu Qiyun pursed his lips: "Whoever is crazy I say who!" The eyeballs were gestured to Xu Qijin.
Xu Qiyu whispered: "If you don't speak, you're crazy?" I haven't heard my fifth sister open my mouth for several years! After speaking, he raised his heel and went up, looking natural, as if his words were just casually mentioned.
"The speaker has no intention" The listener is intentional, Xu Qiyu mentioned this, Xu Qiyun's heart jumped.
Looking up, Xu Qijin was taking a piece of ice silk handkerchief and leaning on Xu Qirong's forehead, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the ice silk was naturally cool, and it was applied to the forehead, not to mention how comfortable it was. It's just that ice silk is rare, and it's just such a small square handkerchief, which Gao Bo got by chance and spent a lot of money. Qiu Yuanyuan praised Xu Qijin with envy on her face, and Xu Qirong had a deep sisterhood.
Xu Qiyao gritted her teeth and didn't speak, she has always been clear that there is money in the fourth room.
Xu Qiyun thought about his brother Xu You, who was getting closer and closer to the fourth uncle, and the scene in front of him became extremely dazzling. Her fourth brother will pass under the knee of the fourth uncle, and the property of the fourth room should be her brother's.
Thinking of the fact that I hadn't heard Sister Rong open her mouth all these years, the malice in my heart poured out, but the smile on my face became sweeter and sweeter, and I stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's not that sisterhood is deep, if you calculate it carefully, in the past three years, the fifth sister has also spoken to the second sister, but she can't avoid us cousins and cousins." ”
Xu Qiyun thought that if she said so, Miss Qiu Er would definitely ask along the way. When Xu Qirong was speechless, it would be better if she, as a cousin, disregarded sisterhood and just pushed the matter to the point of ignorance.
Xu Qiyu looked innocent, and was a little surprised, and expressed full confusion about Xu Qiyun's words.
A trace of disdain flashed on Xu Qiyao's face, her cousin was really impulsive, and then after a little thought, she became a little dignified. Among the girls of the Xu family, she is the most favored by Mrs. Guo, and she is dedicated to making friends with a little lady with a better family background than herself, and because she hates Princess Pingtai on the side of Mrs. Guo, she has less contact with Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong sisters. Now that I think about it carefully, even if I have less contact, I shouldn't have heard Xu Qirong speak for a few years!
A trace of anger flashed on Xu Qijin's face, and he said coldly: "What is the third sister talking about?" Those who know say that the third sister likes to joke, and those who don't know think that our Xu sisters are against each other! ”
Xu Qijin is like this, Xu Qiyun is still a little afraid, but the more angry Xu Qijin looks, the more Xu Qiyun feels that he has grasped the handle, and he immediately stubbornly talks back to Xu Qijin: "Why is the second sister so angry, I just casually told the truth, who in the Xu family doesn't know, why did they become sisters?" ”
"You ......" Xu Qijin was angry, his mind was spinning, and he was thinking about how to fool this matter over.
Qiu Yuanyuan only looked at Xu Qijin and Xu Qiyun's faces, and then thought of Xu Qirong's communication in the past three years, and immediately understood what was going on.
If it is someone else, with Miss Qiu Er's temperament, she also wants to find out. But now she has a request for Xu Er and Xu Wu, with a faint smile on her face, and her mouth is gentle and irrefutable: "Sister Rong has no mother to take care of her, and Sister Jin is an excellent sister, and it is also appropriate that the two sisters are closer than others." Sister Rong has a quiet temperament, and she will definitely have a future better than us noisy ones in the future. ”
Xu Qiyao didn't speak, Xu Qiyun opened his mouth, and immediately reacted, if he opened his mouth now, wouldn't it be the most noisy, so he had to swallow back the unwillingness that came to his mouth. Xu Qiyu lowered his head to hide the disappointment in his expression.
While Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong breathed a sigh of relief, they also had a little more secret hatred for Xu Qiyun in their hearts.
Next, even if Miss Qiu Er deliberately protects Xu Qirong, no matter how provocative Xu Qiyun is, Miss Qiu Er can guide the topic to what she wants to say. Although Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were not happy for Miss Qiu Er to guess the truth, they still praised Miss Qiu Er's "smartness".
No wonder the county lord of Frost Mercy doesn't like Qiu Yuanyuan.
There are two kinds of people that Lord Frost Mercy likes. One is particularly smart, so smart that he doesn't deliberately reveal his cleverness, and knows how to hide clumsiness at any time. In the eyes of the county lord of frost, Xu Qijin is the representative of this kind of person. There is also an honest person, who is a bit clumsy and honest, and is honest to everyone. In the eyes of the frosty county lord, Xu Qirong is a representative of this kind of person.
Qiu Yuanyuan is smart, but she likes to show her own cleverness all the time, and in the eyes of the frosty county lord, such a person is a little hateful.
Because she always paid attention to solving the siege, Miss Qiu Er never found an opportunity to ask Xu Qijin about the affairs of Yuwangfu. When the ladies of the Xu family said goodbye and left, Miss Qiu Er's brows furrowed unconsciously.
Since Master Xu Si made it clear that he wanted to succeed Xu You, Princess Pingtai's mood has not been very good. When she made an appointment to meet with the Hua family, Princess Pingtai was obviously a little irritable.
The premise of Princess Pingtai's calmness is that things are still under her control, and these days, there are a lot of things that are not under her control.
Xu Qirong also sensed that Princess Pingtai's love was wrong, and she was a little worried, she was afraid that there would be trouble with the Yi family. So every day, I tried my best to get to Princess Pingtai's side and inquire, which made Princess Pingtai's heart even more irritable.
Finally, Princess Pingtai became angry and instructed Mama Gui to reduce Xu Qirong's afternoon tea and supper, and almost all the meat dishes for the three meals were withdrawn.
After not having enough to eat, Xu Qirong didn't have the energy to pester Princess Pingtai, two grapevines were planted in Lanzhi Courtyard, the amethyst that ripened in early July, and the hard green at this time, the mother-in-law who took care of the vines didn't see it in a blink of an eye, and was ruined by Xu Qirong.
When the mother-in-law who took care of the vines finally made up her mind to complain to Mama Gui, Mama Gui happened to accompany Princess Pingtai out of the house.
Go out to meet the Hua family.
Before going out, Mama Gui was still a little hesitant: "Why don't you go down for the old slave?" If there is any gossip, the second master is fine, the uncle is an official in the court, but I am afraid that it will be more and more difficult. ”
Princess Pingtai was stunned for a moment: "This Hua family leader is an unpredictable person, even people like Hua Yude have been defeated by him, I want you to go, but I'm afraid of making things more difficult." ”
As soon as Princess Pingtai said this, no matter how much Mama Gui said, she could only hold back. R1152
