Chapter 81 The Yi Family Who Sells Licorice and Coptis chinensis
Because Xu Qirong couldn't speak, Xu Qijin simply said that Xu Qirong had some heat stroke, and then prepared a meal and sent it to the room.
Xu Qiyu was a little suspicious in her heart, when she just got off the carriage, she obviously saw that her fifth sister had a ruddy face and calm steps, where did she look like she was suffering from heat stroke? However, Princess Pingtai stood in front of the stone table with a cold face, and Xu Qiyu immediately thought about serving Princess Pingtai for dinner, and the little suspicion in her heart was thrown aside.
Xu Qijin stood in the west wing and watched Yu Qiu deliver the food box in, and after Yu Qiu came out, he turned around and walked back together. Yu Qiu couldn't help but say, "Girl, how long have you not seen Miss Five, why don't you go in?" Miss Five seemed to be angry with someone, she was crooked on the chair alone, and the maid brought the food in, Miss Five glanced at it and didn't say a word. ”
It's weird to be able to say it! Xu Qijin said in his heart, but his mouth was perfunctory: "After sitting in the carriage for so long, I must be tired!" Sister Rong has been thin since she was a child, and she can't compare to her fourth sister. ”
Yu Qiu nodded suddenly, and then took the initiative to say: "There is half a catty of East China Sea fish gelatin in the warehouse, but it is excellent for stewing lotus seeds, and the girls on the left and right don't like the smell of the sea, why don't you cook a cup every day for Miss Fifth for supper these days?" ”
Xu Qijin remembered Mama Gui's control of Xu Qirong's diet, hesitated for a moment, and still pitied her sister, so she said: "It's okay, you just say that it is white fungus stewed lotus seeds, the new cook is not likely to master the heat, and the white fungus is stewed." Don't wait for the night, wait for Sister Rong to wake up from a nap every day, and then give it to her! ”
You must know that it is a big tonic such as fish gelatin in the East China Sea, Mama Gui will never let Xu Qirong eat a cup of food every day, white fungus lotus seed soup clears heat and detoxifies, lowers fire and moistens the throat, wakes up a small cup in the afternoon, and talks to Mama Gui about it, and you can mix it up.
Lunch is served in a pavilion, surrounded by several osmanthus trees, and grapevines climb on top of the pavilion. At this time, the vines are covered with grapes, the size of pearls, green and green, and you can see that they are very sour. However, because of the osmanthus tree and the vine, this pavilion is really like its name, and from time to time there is a breeze coming slowly, which is very cool.
When Xu Qijin returned to the pavilion with Yu Qiu, he saw Xu Qiyu respectfully standing beside Princess Pingtai and scalding the ivory chopsticks with hot water for Princess Pingtai, and was slightly surprised.
Respectfully asked Princess Pingtai to say goodbye, and then remembered Xu Qirong who was eating in the West Wing, Xu Qijin felt that he needed to cover it up again, and then showed a helpless look, and said to Princess Pingtai: "I don't know what kind of anger Zhuo is angry with, I stayed in the wooden barrel for a long time when I just bathed, and the heat was smoking, my whole face was red, and my head was a little dizzy." When her granddaughter delivered the food, she still shouted that she had no appetite! ”
When Mama Gui heard this, her face twitched, and she said in her heart, tsk, just like Miss Five, when she is hungry, she can eat white sugar as a snack, and it is strange that she will have no appetite!
Xu Qijin's focus is naturally on the two words "shouting", and if he can shout it, Xu Qiyu will naturally not doubt Xu Qirong's words.
Princess Pingtai snorted, and was about to signal Xu Qijin and Xu Qiyu to sit down and eat together. As a result, Xu Qijin was determined to pull out all the doubts in Xu Qiyu's heart, and continued to say to Princess Pingtai: "On weekdays, Sister Rong listens to her grandmother's words the most, and she is also sensible. Besides, it is true that there is some heat stroke, grandmother, don't blame Sister Rong. ”
Princess Pingtai paused, but still said coldly: "No." "Words are like gold!
Xu Qijincai didn't care about Princess Pingtai's coldness, turned his head and said to Xu Qiyu: "Fourth sister, you are two years older than Sister Rong, you are your own sister, don't be angry with her." Along the way, she originally wanted to ride in the same carriage with her grandmother, but the fourth sister knew how to serve her grandmother better than her, and she was inevitably a little apprehensive. ”
Xu Qiyu thought about it carefully, along the way, Xu Qirong seemed to be really reluctant to see her, and even pouted when he saw her, refusing to say a word. At that time, she thought that Xu Qirong was reluctant to go out.
Xu Qijin saw that Xu Qiyu was thoughtful, the corners of his mouth pulled into a smile, and then said: "Sister Rong is spoiled by me, her temperament, can I still be unclear as a sister?" I'm afraid that I didn't give the fourth sister a good look along the way. Fourth sister, don't worry, the second sister is not that eccentric person, when Sister Rong'er is better, I will definitely talk about her. ”
This can be regarded as an excuse for Xu Qirong not to speak along the way. Princess Pingtai and Mama Gui looked as usual, for more than two years, if it weren't for Xu Qijin's careful and thoughtful handling of Xu Qirong's affairs, I am afraid that the unspeakable secret would have been spread long ago.
Xu Qiyu has always been a good at observing words and feelings, and he pulled up a smile at the moment and said sincerely: "What is the second sister talking about, I am the elder sister, the fifth sister is the younger sister, and the elder sister naturally wants to let the younger sister." made the fifth sister unhappy, it turned out that I didn't do a good job as a sister, how can I blame the fifth sister again! ”
Xu Qijin looked happy: "It's the heart of the second sister and the villain, and the fourth sister is generous at first glance." ”
Princess Pingtai said lightly: "Let's make a dish!" Then he turned his head to Xu Qiyu, who was standing aside, and said, "You also sit down and eat." ”
Xu Qiyu was overjoyed, and was even more glad that she had reacted quickly just now, thinking that Princess Pingtai must have softened her attitude towards her because of what she said just now, so she softened her attitude so much.
Ping Taigong mainly knows what Xu Qiyu is thinking, and it is estimated that she can't cry or laugh, she is a princess and an elder, how can she embarrass a little girl? asked Xu Qiyu to sit down, one is that she didn't want to learn from any juniors, and the other is that Xu Qiyu is still young, she is a young lady, where can Bucai compare to the big girl silver carp next to her!
After lunch, Princess Pingtai asked Xu Qijin to accompany her to play chess, Xu Qiyu was also alert, knowing that they had something to say, she didn't blindly follow, but went back to the east wing to rest. These days, she is indeed very tired.
Yu Qiu found a black jade chess with ice cracks, the white son was polished by white cold jade, and the black son was polished by black jade, and it was cold in his hand for a while, and it was very comfortable. Therefore, Princess Pingtai and Xu Qijin both abandoned the jade Ruyi handle and put the chess pieces on the chessboard with their own hands.
Princess Pingtai's chess style is the same as her temperament, with a kind of coldness, when she encounters Xu Qijin's killer moves, she also tries to retreat, and when Xu Qijin is forced to be ruthless, she frowned, and her means suddenly turned defeat into victory in an instant.
That is, there is a big difference in the level between the two, if Xu Qijin's level is a little higher, Princess Pingtai's way of playing, I am afraid that she will not be able to wait for the moment when she wins.
After winning two games in a row, Princess Pingtai looked at the silver carp and Yu Qiuqing chessboard, and said lightly: "I heard that you are going to marry the Yi family who sells licorice and coptis?" ”
Xu Qijin was not restrained, but was a little surprised when he spoke: "Who did grandmother listen to?" Didn't the granddaughter write a letter to her grandmother about this? Didn't grandmother receive the letter? ”
Three questions in a row, Princess Pingtai's face stiffened, of course she received the letter, and she received it before the Yi family's people came to propose, but she felt that Xu Qijin was a safe one, so she didn't say much to Sister Rong. She just asked that, but she wanted to ask a little tactfully, where to think of what was wrong with the wording!
Xu Qijin saw that Princess Pingtai didn't speak, and immediately understood what was going on. At the moment, he thought that he had not saved the three problems just now, and said: "The Yi family is in the medicinal materials business, in addition to licorice and Coptis chinensis, they also sell others, Angelica dahurica, Guolu Huang, Houttuynia cordata, Ganoderma lucidum, mountain ginseng, cinnabar, silkworm chrysalis or something, all of them." ”
Princess Pingtai naturally answered: "You want to marry their family?" ”
Xu Qijin nodded: "The Yi family is one of the top medicinal herb merchants in the entire Jiangzhou, and even in the entire Xinchen Kingdom. "Since Ye Lin is a miracle doctor, and he may still be in Jiangzhou, if he wants to come to the Yi family, it will be much easier to find people. Besides, even if it wasn't for Ye Lin, if Sister Rong's dumb disease needed some rare medicinal materials, it would be much easier to find it if she guarded the Yi family.
Princess Pingtai frowned rarely: "Zhuo Zhuo may not want to see you like this." She also heard about Ye Lin's matter, and she also sent someone to look for it in secret, but there was no news at all. She can't find anyone, and she doesn't have that much ability to come to the Yi family.
Xu Qijin smiled, shook his head and said: "Burning is a dead brain, in fact, there may not be anything bad about me marrying into the Yi family." Although the young master Yi is older, he is only in his early twenties, his reputation in Jiangzhou City is also good, and the Yi family has the heart to make friends with the Shen family, so my future life may not be difficult. If grandmother also feels sorry for Jin'er, she will help Jin'er persuade Zhuozhuo. ”
Mama Gui couldn't help but say on the side: "Young Master Yi's reputation is really so good, and he won't be married in his early twenties!" Something else is wrong, right? ”
Princess Pingtai obviously thought so: "I brought Zhuo Zhuo to Jiangzhou, which is also what I meant." This marriage, the idea is messing up!
Before the Yi family went to the Xu family to propose marriage, Xu Qijin agreed first, so for the sake of Xu Qijin's reputation, even if Princess Pingtai was unwilling, she still agreed to the marriage by Xu Tingyuan. came to Jiangzhou, one is for Zhou Wei's sister, and the other is to think of a way to not only disrupt the marriage of Huang but also make Sister Jin get out.
Sister Jin couldn't cry or laugh, and persuaded softly: "Grandmother, Jin'er is a sister, so naturally she has to protect Sister Rong." Although Jin'er was stupid, she also vaguely guessed that something was going on her father's side, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to the Yi family's proposal so freely. Jin'er is measured, so the Yi family, can it still be the Longtan Tiger's Den? Besides, there is a grandmother who is a princess, and they don't dare to bully me. What's more, Jin'er still has two years to go, so there's no hurry. ”
Xu Qijin talked a lot, and in the end, even Mama Gui was moved, and she actually opened her mouth to help Xu Qijin say a few words. Princess Pingtai sighed and said no more.
After playing another game of chess, Xu Qijin went back to the West Wing to find Xu Qirong. was ready to be blamed and blamed by Xu Qirong, and when he entered the west wing, he found that Yu Xia was sleeping soundly on the back of the chair, but Sister Rong didn't know where to go. R1152
