The birthday banquet of Mrs. Jin is now the top priority of the Jin Mansion. Of course, Mrs. Jin's special identity also attracted many congratulators, and these people brought the congratulatory gifts to the Jin Mansion early in the morning.

Xi'er came back from outside, and when she passed by the front yard of Jinfu, she saw a group of people carrying boxes tied with red silk flowers passing by, and the boxes were pasted with the two big characters "Jiangfu".

"Jiangfu?" Xi'er was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled an accompanying maid and asked, "Sister, what are these boxes?" ”

"Don't you know the way? This is the old mansion of Nanjing Jiangge, that is, the birthday gift sent by the young lady's mother's family. Hey, aren't you the young lady's dowry maid? Your Jiang family is rich and noble, you see that this birthday gift is worth a lot of money, right? ”

I see, it seems that no one from Jiangfu can come, so I sent the congratulatory gift first. Xi'er was very proud: "That's nature, our Jiang family is everyone in Jiangnan, and the etiquette is the most thoughtful." ”

"Yes, not only is it a heavy salute, but I heard that Mrs. Jiang is already on the way, and she will be there soon."

Mrs. Jiang...... That's it...... As if a bolt of lightning struck Xi'er's heart, she was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What?" You said Mrs. Jiang was coming? ”

"Yes, just let the birthday ceremony go first, and Mrs. Jiang will arrive later." After the maid finished speaking, she left in a hurry, leaving Xi'er, whose face had changed greatly, standing alone in a daze.

Xi'er was stunned for a long time, then she came to her senses, and ran towards Gu Changfeng Medical Hall in a hurry: "What can I do about this?" Madame is coming, and now I'm going to die. ”

At this time, the jade unicorn was smiling and pulling Jiang Xiaoxuan to chat in the garden.

"Is your eldest young master serving? Feeling well-up? Jiang Xiaoxuan quipped.

The jade unicorn stretched his face: "You are also here to mock me?" ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan couldn't help but smile: "Don't dare." Don't dare, he's enough for you alone. I have a dancing dress, you come with me to see if it fits. Let's take a look at what kind of hairstyle you comb. If you want to perform at the birthday party, you need to practice now. ”

"Alas, I've almost forgotten about this-" Jade Qilin complained, "I've never seen such an awkward person as the gold ingot, finding fault in everything, and then suddenly being happy again, it's just a natural psychopath!" ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "But after a long time, I still think it's cute, right?" ”

The jade unicorn saw this. With a roll of his eyes, he smiled even more happily and said, "It's still not as cute as Han Changfeng, right?" ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan was slightly embarrassed: "Changfeng, he is a stupid ......"

The voice did not fall. Xi'er came out of a flower bush in a panic, looking anxious and desperate, stopped the two of them and said, "Death is coming, you two are still so leisurely!" ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan hurriedly grabbed her: "Xi'er." Take your time. What's wrong? ”

Xi'er raised her big teary eyes to look at Jiang Xiaoxuan, and cried: "Our wife is coming to pay tribute to Mrs. Jin!" Whining...... I'm dead! ”

As soon as they heard this, the two of them thundered like five thunderbolts.

Jiang Xiaoxuan hurriedly asked, "Really?" How do you know the way? ”

"How do I know about the Dao? I just saw the birthday gift sent by the Jiang Mansion, and the maids said that Mrs. Jiang would come to pay homage to her birthday in person! You're both going to get dressed! "Hysterical.

Jiang Xiaoxuan comforted in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, let's find a way to ...... together"

"Miss, what can you do now? Do you know how serious the consequences are when the road is discovered? Are you really not afraid? You're not afraid, I'm afraid! ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan had nothing to say.

"Before Mrs. arrives, you two hurry up and change back, otherwise I will be the first to be killed!"

Jade Qilin was distressed: "It's useless to change it now?" Could it be that the people in the Jin Mansion are blind? They won't hide it for us! ”

"I know the truth...... I knew I shouldn't have counted on you two! Do you really think this is a playhouse? Now that disaster is coming, I'll see what you do! What an idiot I am. I thought you really had something to do! Xi'er turned around crying.

Jiang Xiaoxuan hurriedly stopped her: "Xi'er-"

Xi'er slammed her hand away, crying and running away.

Leaving Jiang Xiaoxuan and Yu Qilin to look at each other. Both of them had timid and desperate looks.

After staring at it for a long time, Jiang Xiaoxuan gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go to the concierge to inquire." ”

Jade Qilin nodded frustratedly: "I'll go and prepare our luggage for us and run away." ”

The two walked away separately, and the joyful atmosphere was gone.

The jade unicorn returned to the Songzhu Garden with a heavy heart.

Jin Yuan Bao was reading a book wrapped in gauze around his neck, and when he saw her coming, he couldn't help but smile lightly, put down the book, and coughed.

Unexpectedly, the jade unicorn actually listened to it and sat down at the table, stunned.

Jin Yuan Bao looked at the jade unicorn for a while, thinking that she was worried about the birthday banquet, so she didn't hesitate to persuade her: "In fact, the birthday banquet is just a virtual and lively scene in the final analysis, I don't care if it looks good or not, even if it's my mother, I don't really take these gimmicks to heart." ”

The jade unicorn came back to his senses and looked at the gold ingots blankly.

"So you don't need to be so close to the enemy, if you do it well, you should spend money to buy happiness, if you don't do it well......" Jin Yuan Bao shrugged, "How to live and how to live, the matter of having a meal is also worth your lack of interest." ”

He was obviously comforted by the boundless, but the jade qilin was moved for a while, and smiled reluctantly: "How do you know that I am here for the birthday banquet!" ”

Jin Yuan sneered disdainfully: "What else can you do with that little head melon?" The boat can't be overloaded, and it's you. ”

The jade qilin was quiet, as if thinking about something, suddenly turned around, looked at the gold ingots seriously, and asked, "What if I do something else wrong one day?" ”

What's wrong with her? Jin Yuan Bao was shocked by her serious expression, and then Mu Mu replied: "You can't make any big mistakes in your brain, I will forgive you." ”

In her heart, she was surprised and delighted for a while, Yu Qilin looked at him seriously, the pear vortex on her lips slowly rose, and she said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

"But......" the gold ingots muttered, "there is one thing I cannot tolerate. ”

"What's the matter?" The jade unicorn's heart tightened.

"Lie to me." Jin Yuan said: "No matter what the situation, even if you are outrageously wrong. Don't deceive me! ”

The jade qilin was stunned after hearing this, his face sank suddenly, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. The heart that was excited just now suddenly seemed to have been smashed down by a boulder, and it was stuffy and painful, and it sank deeply......

At this time, Jiang Xiaoxuan suddenly appeared outside the door, and beckoned urgently, and the jade unicorn caught a glimpse of it, and immediately jumped up and ran out.

"Why don't you come in and talk? What does the probe do in the brain? The gold ingots wondered.

The jade qilin glanced at him with disgust. didn't tell the difference, and pulled Jiang Xiaoxuan to the outside of the Songzhu Garden.

Jiang Xiaoxuan gasped: "It's okay, my stepmother won't come." ”

Jade Qilin was taken aback: "Who did you listen to?" ”

The porter said. There are two greeting posts, Xi'er saw yesterday, my mother plans to come to pay homage, and today I sent one urgently. Say. There is something at home that stumbles, and I can't come, so the post is just to apologize. I've seen both of them with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong. ”

A feeling of prostration struck suddenly. The whole person of the jade unicorn relaxed, and his hands were folded"|Thank God! ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan also smiled and patted her chest, and then looked around: "What about Xi'er?" I'm going to tell her quickly. ：

The jade unicorn hurriedly grabbed a mustache and asked, "Where is Xi'er?" ”

The maid thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Sister Xi'er seems to have gone to Steward Liu?" ”

Jade Qilin wondered: "What did she do with Liu Wenzhao?" ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan and the jade unicorn looked at each other for a moment. Immediately turned away: "Not good! ”

The two of them walked briskly through the garden.

The jade unicorn ran in front of the horse, and Jiang Xiaoxuan followed as best she could with her skirt.

Turning the corner of a flower bush. The jade unicorn saw the corner of Xi'er's skirt flashing from a distance, and hurriedly shouted: "Xi'er! ”

But Xi'er didn't hear it from afar.

Jade Qilin asked anxiously and confusedly, "What did you say she was doing when she went to Steward Liu?" ”

"Blame me, I should have thought that Xi'er was scared all day long." Jiang Xiaoxuan immediately decided: "I'll go to her, she is emotional now, I am her old master, and it is better to talk to her." ”

The Jade Qilin was silent for a moment and said, "Go quickly." ”

***

Xi'er patrolled outside Liu Wenzhao's study for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and knocked on the door and called, "Steward Liu." ”

Liu Wenzhao opened the door and came out, and when he saw that it was the jade unicorn maid, he was stunned for a moment, and then changed to a humble and polite face: "Xi'er? Is there anything the young lady commands? ”

Xi'er hesitated for a while, Liu Wenzhao saw that something was wrong, got up solemnly, gently closed the door, and said gently: "Is there something inconvenient for the young lady to come forward?" Just tell me. ”

Xi'er pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and looked at him with determination, but her voice couldn't hide the trembling: "Steward Liu, there is a big matter related to the young lady, I don't know who to discuss with when I think about it." If this matter is exposed, it will not be good for the young lady, or even the young master and madam; Xi'er, as a maid, my life is even more difficult to protect. Xi'er is incompetent, and only hopes that this matter can be solved quietly and not affect anyone. ”。

After that, she looked at Liu Wenzhao expectantly: "Steward Liu, you promised me to come to you if I have something, what Xi'er wants to tell you, can you promise me first and never tell others?" Can you guarantee that? ”

Hearing such a big event, Liu Wenzhao was naturally excited in his heart, but his face was even more solemn and sincere: "Don't worry, no matter what it is, I will weigh the weight, and I will do my best to help you solve it, if not, I will definitely not leak half a point." ”

Looking at his sincere face, Xi'er exhaled softly: "The young master and the young lady have never had a round house, what do you know about the road?" ”

No roundhouses?! Liu Wenzhao was taken by surprise, and then saw Xi'er's solemn expression, and hurriedly pressed it to listen carefully.

"Because of the young lady, actually—"

At this critical juncture, the door of the study was knocked open by Huo Ran, Jiang Xiaoxuan stood at the door, looked at Xi'er with an anxious face and said, "Xi'er, you are here, I am looking for you-the young lady is looking for you so hard!" ”

Xi'er looked at Jiang Xiaoxuan earnestly: "Girl, do you still think—"

Jiang Xiaoxuan hurriedly intercepted the conversation: "The young lady called you back to prepare a return gift to your in-laws!" Mrs. Jiang couldn't come, so she only sent a few family members over to give gifts, and the young lady said that you are most familiar with the affairs of the house and asked you to go back. ”

"Madame can't come?" Xi'er was stunned.

Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at her and nodded very affirmatively: "I just went to the concierge, and Mrs. Jiang sent a new post in the morning, and she temporarily stumbled over something." I apologized and gave a generous gift to congratulate Mrs. Jin on her birthday. ”

That's really ...... Xi'er didn't know how to describe it or say it. I feel dizzy at this moment!

Jiang Xiaoxuan gently supported her and gently persuaded: "Come with me, I and the young lady are here in everything." ”

Xi'er slowly bowed her head and was taken out by Jiang Xiaoxuan.

Jiang Xiaoxuan bowed lightly to Liu Wenzhao and left.

Looking at the backs of the two, a chill gradually appeared on Liu Wenzhao's modest face, and there was a touch of playfulness in his eyes.

was half-carried by Jiang Xiaoxuan to the garden. Xi'er still felt dizzy and quickly stopped. "Miss, you don't lie to me? Madame is really not coming? ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan looked around carefully, and then nodded lightly to Xi'er: "I don't lie to you." I really went to the concierge just now and asked. Madame is not coming. ”

Xi'er was relieved and recited the Buddha: "Amitabha, thank God!" ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at Xi'er and asked, "Xi'er." What did you come to Liu Wenzhao for? ”

Xi'er panicked. But he hurriedly intercepted her words, and said stubbornly: "Miss, Xi'er has served you for so many years, and I don't want to see you lose your life in a daze, you don't want to do it, so I have to think of a way for me, a maid." Don't worry, I didn't say anything. Young Master Liu is a gentleman, and he will not be suspicious. ”

"I know. It's me who didn't think it through. Forget that you're scared of me all day. Jiang Xiaoxuan was very guilty.

Seeing this, Xi'er burst into tears. pleaded: "Xi'er grew up with you since she was a child, and will always be on your side. But miss, I beg you to think of a way quickly, are you really so at ease? What is fake is fake, and it doesn't matter if I am dead if it is really exposed one day, what can you do? ”

"Don't worry......" Jiang Xiaoxuan held her hand and begged in a soft voice: "When Qilin and I are ready and finish what needs to be done, we will leave here together, okay?" ”

A cool breeze blew and drilled into Xi'er's clothes, she only felt a slight coolness in her chest, and where she stood there, she didn't know what to do for a while...... After a long time, he sighed and nodded.

Jiang Xiaoxuan nodded with satisfaction and touched Xi'er's bun, "I'll leave first, you can go back quickly." ”

"I know ......"

However, after Jiang Xiaoxuan left, Xi'er still stood in place and thought about her thoughts.

Although she believed that the young lady would not leave her alone, although the lady did not plan to come to the birthday banquet anymore...... However, she was still very uneasy.

Her eyes were full of mist again, and she felt more and more that being a subordinate was a difficult and painful thing.

"Ahem......"

Xi'er was feeling sorry for herself when a soft cough suddenly came from behind her, interrupting her thoughts.

She hurriedly turned around, and after seeing the person clearly, she immediately bowed her head and saluted: "Young Master Liu." ”

"No need to be polite." Liu Wenzhao modestly supported her, then looked at her reddish eyes, and asked, "Xi'er, I think you haven't finished your words today?" ”

As soon as she heard this, a trace of panic crossed Xi'er's face, but then she turned into a loyal servant, "Actually, I just want to say that the young master and the young lady have always quarreled, and they still ...... So far, there is no round house, I am a maid, I am anxious for my young lady in my eyes, you are the cousin of the young master, I want you to persuade the young master, let my young lady more. ”

"Oh? Just for this? Liu Wenzhao obviously didn't believe it.

Xi'er's face was pale, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

Looks like I can't ask anything today. Liu Wenzhao didn't slack off, thought about it, a smile hung on his lips, his eyes looked at Xi'er sincerely, and said very gently: "Xi'er, I want you to know one thing." ”

When Xi'er heard this, she hurriedly raised her head, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she looked at Liu Wenzhao quite affectionately, and in an instant, her heart skipped a beat.

"Of course, you are alone in this mansion, but whenever you have a problem or a problem, you can always come to me." Liu Wenzhao said it with great sincerity.

Unconsciously, a layer of mist filled Xi'er's eyes, and she asked in a trance, "You...... Why are you so good to me? ”

Liu Wenzhao looked at her directly, and said slowly, slowly: "The same is the end of the world." ”

Xi'er was stunned.

"Although I am a master, in fact, in this mansion, I just look at people's faces and struggle alone." Liu Wenzhao laughed self-deprecatingly.

Hearing this, Xi'er was greatly moved, and tears fell from her eyes.

"So you remember, whenever you have something to say, you can trust me. Do you know the way? ”

The night breeze is gentle, and the dark fragrance floats.

The aroma came from an unknown corner, looking at Liu Wenzhao's handsome face, Xi'er slowly raised her head and bit her lower lip, as if she wanted to restrain the moving that kept surging in her heart, but the more she suppressed it, the more flustered her heart became.

"Okay?" Liu Wenzhao lowered his head and looked at her.

His masculine aura hit the sky overwhelmingly, and Xi'er involuntarily took a step back, choked and nodded.

"Good." Liu Wenzhao smiled with satisfaction, reached out and touched Xi'er's sideburns, and left in style.

Looking at his back as he left suddenly, Xi'er only felt a heart, as if she had sunk into the mire, sinking deeper and deeper...... (To be continued......)
