Chapter 97: Good and Bad Thoughts (Big Chapter: Two More Together, Asking for Pink Tickets)

With the permission of Lu Ruilan, the mother of the Xie family, Zhao Jinqi will be able to visit Xie Dongli justifiably.

She walked out of the upper room of the inner courtyard, and did not go to the outer courtyard immediately, but turned a corner on the road and went to the courtyard where Xie Dongli lived.

The two big maids in Xie Dongli's inner courtyard, Lu Chun and Hong Xia, greeted them and curtsied: "If Miss Biao has something to order, just send someone to call it, why go in person?" ā€

Zhao Jinqi smiled and said, "Don't dare to bother the two sisters." I was ordered by my eldest cousin to see if there are any suitable Buddhist scriptures here for my fifth cousin. I want to copy a Buddhist scripture for my mother. ā€

Lu Chun and Hong Xia glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Looking for Buddhist scriptures?" Miss Cousin is looking for the wrong way. This is the inner courtyard, how can there be books? Childe's books are all in the study outside the outer courtyard. Miss Cousin has to ask Sister Shuxiang to borrow it. ā€

Zhao Jinqi didn't rush to leave, took care of himself and looked around the upper room of the courtyard where Xie Dongqi lived, found a place to sit down, and said, "In this way, I'll go to the outer study to find Sister Shuxiang later." After a pause, she said again: "Two sisters, when will the fifth cousin come back?" ā€

"We don't know about that. Childe is very busy on weekdays. Lu Chun smiled and ordered the little maid to serve tea to Zhao Jinqi, and Hongxia went to the ear room to load two plates of dim sum and send them over.

"Our son-in-law doesn't like to eat these pastries, and the small kitchen is only prepared for hospitality, Miss Biao, don't dislike it." Hong Xia put a plate of plum-shaped red shortbread and a plate of glutinous rice and red bean soft cake on the table next to Zhao Jinqi.

Zhao Jinqi hurriedly picked it up and ate it, and said, "Well, this snack is really delicious." I've never eaten such delicious dim sum in Heungju! As he spoke, he finished the dim sum in two bites, and asked with a smile: "Good sister, can you give me another piece of glutinous rice and red bean soft cake, it's really delicious." ā€

"Okay, it's good if Miss Biao doesn't dislike it, and the slave will go get it." Hong Xia pursed her lips and smiled, and went to the ear room with the tray.

Zhao Jinqi paid close attention to the dresses of Hongxia and Luchun, both combing the girl's bun, and two strands of hair hanging down from her ears, not a woman's head.

The two walked in a light and graceful manner, with neat eyebrows and stretched smiles, not like women......

They shouldn't be the fifth cousin's roommates, right?

Zhao Jinqi picked up the tea and took a sip, and spoke to Lu Chun who was standing beside her: "Sister Lu Chun, sit down." If you want to stand again, I'm too embarrassed to sit again. ā€

Midoriharu smiled, didn't answer, just shook his head, and didn't sit down.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I have one more thing to do today. Zhao Jinqi saw that Lu Chun smiled lightly and didn't sit down, so he had to say again: "Today I went out to light the lantern for my mother to go to the Great Compassion Temple, and when I came back, I met a ruffian, fortunately I met my fifth cousin to relieve me, otherwise I ......."

"Oh?" Lu Chun was a little interested, and her eyes rolled, "Our son-in-law helped Miss Cousin out of the siege?" "It doesn't seem like Childe's style......

"yes. Ah Shun went in person, I am very grateful, I just want to thank my fifth cousin. Sister Luchun, you are most familiar with my fifth cousin, why don't you tell me, what does my fifth cousin like to eat? Zhao Jinqi tilted his head and asked innocently, "I also learned a little cooking skills from my mother-in-law on the stove at home in Xingzhou." ā€

"What the son likes to eat, the slave doesn't know much. It seems to eat everything, but I don't eat sweets, and I don't pick anything else. Lu Chun smiled and said, "Besides, Miss Biao is a distinguished guest in the family, and our son-in-law should take care of Miss Cousin." Miss Cousin doesn't have to be so polite. ā€

Zhao Jinqi stood up with a smile and patted Lu Chun's shoulder, "Sister Lu Chun, don't be too humble, I treat you as a sister-in-law......

"Ouch Miss Watch, you can't talk nonsense!" Lu Chun was so frightened that his face turned white, "The slave and maid have already decided to marry someone, you say so, how can the slave and maid marry?" ā€

"Huh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't know, I really don't know. Aren't the big girls in the general son's room all ......? That's how my late eldest brother was. I thought...... I thought it was ......" Zhao Jinqi bit her lower lip shyly, blessed Lu Chun, and said in a panic: "It's really disturbing, I'm leaving." With that, he left Xie Dongli's yard with a puff of smoke.

Hong Xia came over with a pastry, and when she saw that Zhao Jinqi was gone, she said strangely: "Where is Miss Cousin?" Don't you still want to eat pastries? I made it for her. When I went to the ear room just now, I found that there were not many pastries left. ā€

"Gone." Lu Chun stomped his feet, "This young lady doesn't even talk with a door, what kind of nonsense are you talking about!" ā€

"What's wrong?" Hongxia simply ate the pastry with the green equinox, "What did she say?" ā€

Lu Chun pursed his lips, "Ask if I'm from the son's room." ā€

"Huh?" Hong Xia was taken aback, then leaned back with a smile and said, "What is Miss Biao doing when you inquire about this?" ā€

"Who knows......" Although Lu Chun has speculation in his heart, he will never say it.

The most important thing to be a big girl is to have a tight mouth.

If you can't control your mouth, you can only be a doorman.

Obviously, Zhao Jinqi also thinks the same way.

She felt that the two big girls of Lu Chun and Hong Xia looked very tight, and they couldn't pry anything, so they still went to talk to the mother-in-law who watched the second door.

Zhao Jinqi came to the second door, gossiped a few words, and found that at this point, only the mother-in-law was alone, so he boldly asked: "Mother Liu, what are the names of the sisters in the fifth cousin's room?" I'm afraid of getting my identity wrong and making people laugh. ā€

Mrs. Liu was bored when she saw Ermen, and she was very happy to see someone coming to chat with her, and some of them didn't say anything, so she hurriedly said: "There are two big maids in the fifth master's room, four second-class maids, and four rough mothers-in-law." What's wrong with that? ā€

"Huh? Who among these maids ...... Who is more important? Zhao Jinqi asked cautiously, "My fifth cousin has done me a great favor today, and I want to thank him." The fifth cousin doesn't lack anything, and it's good for me to show my heart to the maid next to him. ā€

"More important?" Mrs. Liu looked at Zhao Jinqi twice, and suddenly understood what she meant, "You are asking, who of them is the fifth master's room?" ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I see that my fifth cousin is not young. Our Zhao family's grandfathers will be released after fifteen rooms. Zhao Jinqi hurriedly said, "The fifth cousin will be nineteen during the New Year, right?" ā€

"Oh. Well, our fifth master doesn't have anyone in the room yet. Three years ago, the fifth master traveled away from home and only came back this year, and the eldest lady had not had time to arrange for the fifth master. Mrs. Liu glanced at Zhao Jinqi with a smile, and secretly wondered if this young lady also took a fancy to the fifth master?

To say that if the Zhao family did not suffer, it would be a match for the fifth master.

As the saying goes, aunt cousin, kiss kiss......

Thinking that the fifth master had just been divorced by Vice Prime Minister Zhang's family, maybe this young lady had a chance.

Although the Zhao family suffered, who can tell the affairs of men and women?

And the uncle and the second grandfather's respect for their aunt Xie Chang is well known to the Xie family, maybe in order to help this little cousin, they will also let Xie Dongli marry her?

Or if you don't do the main room, even if you are a concubine, it must be a famous second room, not a cheap concubine.

So Mrs. Liu was more respectful to Zhao Jinqi, and her words became more and more point-promising.

Zhao Jinqi asked what he wanted to ask the most, and went back satisfied.

The next day, she spent the whole day making a cup of flower carving ginseng stewed hen and brought it to Xie Dongli's yard.

"Did the fifth cousin have dinner?" Zhao Jinqi walked in with a food box.

Xie Dongli walked out of the back room, put his hands behind his back and said, "What's the matter?" ā€

"Fifth cousin here." Zhao Jinqi smiled in surprise and raised the stew cup in his hand, "Fifth cousin helped me on the street yesterday, I am grateful." After thinking about it, he made a soup for the fifth cousin, hoping that the fifth cousin would appreciate his face. ā€

Xie Dongli looked at the stew pot in her hand, tilted his head and asked, "...... Did you make it yourself? ā€

"Hmm!" Zhao Jinqi nodded heavily, and his heart couldn't help but thump. Fifth cousin's voice, how can it be so good?!

"Put it down. Thank you little cousin. A smile appeared on Xie Dongli's lips, which made Zhao Jinqi dizzy, one foot deep, one foot shallow, as if walking in the clouds, he returned to the outer courtyard where he lived, tossing and turning all night, and in his dreams it was Xie Dongli's smiling and detached face.

……

The next day.

"Miss Table! Miss Table! The little maid who was waiting in the guest house slammed on the door of Zhao Jinqi's boudoir, and she was about to go crazy.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jinqi opened the door and squinted at the bright sky light outside the door.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Miss Cousin, Madame, please come and speak. The little maid didn't dare to say a word, so she ran away.

Zhao Jinqi changed into plain clothes and went out in confusion, and came to the upper room of Lu Ruilan, the eldest lady of the inner courtyard.

I saw two familiar girls kneeling in front of Lu Ruilan.

Zhao Jinqi fixed his eyes and saw that it was the green spring and red summer in Xie Dong's fence room.

What's going on?

Zhao Jinqi faintly felt that something was wrong, and slowly walked over and curtsy and saluted, "Cousin-in-law." ā€

Lu Ruilan's face was full of anger, and she pointed to the two big girls kneeling on the ground and said, "You guys said in front of Miss Cousin, what the hell is going on?!" If you dare to tell a lie, I will immediately call someone to sell you! ā€

Lu Chun lowered his head and insisted that it was Zhao Jinqi, "...... The slave did not dare to lie. Yesterday, only Miss Biao gave the fifth master a cup of flower carving ginseng stewed little hen, the fifth master drank the soup, and fell asleep without eating anything else. As a result, the abdominal pain was like a strangulation overnight, and I invited the doctor to come over overnight, and it was relieved. The imperial doctor said that the fifth master is ...... Be...... Poisoned! ā€

Zhao Jinqi's brain buzzed, and he was almost invisible in front of him.

She leaned on the corner of the table, stopped her staggering body, and said in a trembling voice, "...... No way! So how can the soup be poisonous? I did it with my own hands, without going through the hands of a second person. ā€

"Yes, it didn't go through the hands of the second person, but our fifth master ate it and was poisoned at night. Tell me, Miss Cousin, what the hell is going on? Hong Xia's face was full of anger, she looked up at Zhao Jinqi, and said sharply.

Zhao Jinqi glared at the two maids, and found that he couldn't even tell if he had a mouth!

If she wants to harm Xie Dongli, can she use such a clumsy method as poisoning the soup?! Or did she do it herself!

Zhao Jinqi was so stunned that his intestines were cleared, and he clenched his neck and teeth, but he refused to carry this black cauldron.

She knelt down with a thud and cried to Lu Ruilan: "Sister-in-law, it's really not me!" Let's not say that the soup was made by me, if something happens, others will definitely be the first to think of me. Am I that stupid? Besides, my father and I came here helplessly, how could we think that it would be unfavorable to my fifth cousin? If the fifth cousin is gone, what hope does the Xie family have? The Xie family has no hope, how much better can my father and I be? One must build on a firm foundation? There is also a truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, I understand it, and it will not destroy the way back! ā€

She has a point.

Lu Ruilan looked at her quietly, her eyes flickering.

……

Xie Dongli's inner room.

Ah Shun stood aside with his hands tied and said in a low voice, "...... Fifth master, is it really good for you to do this? Is there any particular purpose? ā€

Xie Dongli had a satisfied expression on his face, leaned on the big pillow embroidered with entwined roses on the newly made side, flipped through the book, and said casually: "What's wrong?" As soon as I smelled that soup, I was nauseous, and even vomited, what is the difference between poisoning and poisoning? Besides, the Imperial Doctor said that I was poisoned, are you more powerful than the Imperial Doctor? As he spoke, he glanced at Ah Shun with slanted eyes.

Ah Shun hurriedly lowered his head and said secretly, Fifth Master, with your ability, you let the imperial doctor say that you can drink Heding Hong...... It's just that you turned away all the women who have a crush on you, and you still don't marry a wife?!

Xie Dongli noticed Ah Shun's actions, blinked, figured out Ah Shun's careful thoughts, and couldn't help but sneer: "Ah Shun, I can't see it, you think a lot." ā€

Ah Shun grinned and said, "Of course, the small one can't be compared with the fifth master." But in the small opinion, Miss Cousin has no bad intentions. You do this ......"

"Do you have any bad intentions, can you see it?" Xie Dongli put down the book, held his head in both hands, leaned on the big pillow, thought silently for a while, and Yang Yue's lips pursed an imperceptible arc, "...... It's not bad intentions. But I have to accept their kindness? Annoying, every day to fix these demon moths. I wasn't interested in their celebrity cooking skills at all. ā€

So come a ruthless, it's a hundred, see who dares to "stew" him at every turn......

"Fifth Master, what do you want to do?" Ah Shun seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he still asked dutifully.

"You go and see how the main courtyard is handled. Green spring and red summer have been gone for a long time. Xie Dongli got up and dressed.

Ah complied, and hurriedly went to the vicinity of the main courtyard to inquire for a while.

After inquiring about Zhao Jinqi's reply, Ah Shun hurriedly came back to report to Xie Dongqi.

Xie Dongli listened, smiled slightly, and said, "...... It's indomitable too. So saying, he went to the main courtyard.

When he came to Lu Ruilan's upper room in the main courtyard, Xie Dongli bowed, "Sister-in-law." ā€

Zhao Jinqi looked back and saw that Xie Dongli was coming, big tears fell straight down, and she choked up and said, "Fifth cousin, it's really not me!" I can swear by the necklace's hair! ā€

Xie Dongli quietly listened to Zhao Jinqi's defense, and said with a smile: "It really sounds like it has nothing to do with the little cousin." However, if everyone thinks so, what about the person who poisoned it? Wouldn't it be even more brazen? In this way, it may be dark under the lights. Things under our noses are not clearly visible. Sometimes we can't overcomplicate things, it's just the truth. ā€

After speaking, looking at Zhao Jinqi's stunned expression, Xie Dongli said again: "Little cousin, don't be careful, I'm not talking about you." ā€
