Chapter 69: Trouble Comes to the Door
Xiao Jinyu was reluctant in her heart, but how could Xiao Jinxuan give her a chance to shirk.
Seeing her expression darkened, she said in a very sad tone: "Originally, before coming to Beijing, my father also said to Jinxuan, when I get here, my sister is my biggest dependence, let our sisters support each other, it seems that Jinxuan doesn't know the importance of it, sister's daughter-in-law, sister is just a concubine, and she is indeed not worthy of praying for your grandmother with you." ”
In the end, Xiao Jinxuan even used the honorific title "you", and her slightly lowered head looked like she was deeply shocked, as if Xiao Jinyu was saying half a word of refusal, and she could cry immediately.
And the one who was really made to cry without tears was actually Xiao Jinyu, she didn't expect that things would end up like this.
She hesitated just now, although the old lady didn't say anything, but looking at her face was still a little disappointed.
After all, Xiao Jinxuan invited her to pray for the other party's blessing together, but she didn't immediately agree, and it was normal for the old lady to feel uncomfortable.
And now that she hasn't coaxed the old lady well, Xiao Jinxuan has buttoned her up again, a cheap sister, and a hat that holds her own identity.
Xiao Jinyu obviously felt that there was something else in her eyes when everyone around her looked at her.
Especially the Zhao family, Xiao Jinxuan helped her out in front of the mansion, and she had a good impression of this new niece.
Coupled with the fact that she is straight, looking at Xiao Jinyu's twisted appearance, she immediately couldn't help it.
"It's okay if Jinyu doesn't want to, after all, you are delicate and expensive, Jinxuan, don't be uncomfortable, when my Jinwen comes back, I will ask her to accompany you to pray for the old lady."
Xiao Jinwen, the daughter of the Zhao family, is the eldest lady of the Shuai Mansion, and now she has gone to her grandfather's house in Zhejiang, and it will take a while to come back.
And Xiao Jinyu, who was already in a dilemma, heard Zhao's words, her face turned red, and mist rose in her eyes.
Even if Xiao Jinyu is not afraid of hardships and agrees, it will be too late, after all, after Zhao said this, she is expressing her position, and everyone will say that she will agree to it for the sake of face, not from the heart at all.
Looking at Xiao Jinyu's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Jinxuan sneered in her heart.
She was stupid in her previous life, and when she came to the Marshal's Mansion, she really thought that they were sisters, so she was obedient to Xiao Jinyu and relied on her in every way.
If the other party had said this before, she would have been so stupid as to believe that the other party was for her good, hoping that she could please her grandmother as soon as possible.
But often she works hard, but her good reputation is all taken away by Xiao Jinyu.
Now that she is reborn and back, the other party is still doing this trick, is she really the same Xiao Jinxuan as before, it's really funny!
In the end, the old lady couldn't stand it, although she was quite disappointed, Xiao Jinyu prayed for her, but hesitated.
But in the end, it has hurt the heart for fifteen years, and when he broke the siege, he said: "Okay, the eldest daughter-in-law, you don't say a few words, to see if it scares the child." ”
Then she looked at Xiao Jinyu and said softly: "Your sister just came, you should be your sister's companion, you can go to the Buddha hall with Jinxuan, and it is good for sisters to communicate their feelings." ”
What else can Xiao Jinyu say, although she doesn't want to, she can only admit it.
Secretly glanced at Xiao Jinxuan, who had already walked back to her position, and the disgust and resentment in her eyes were even stronger.
Sure enough, this sister-in-law is specially designed to steal the limelight with her, and as soon as she comes, she will lose face, what kind of sister, just because she is a concubine, she is also worthy of being her sister, don't even think about it in this life!
At dawn in the morning, the air is crisp and a little chilly. Xiao Jinxuan stretched her waist, got up from the simple wooden **, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and walked towards the Buddhist hall in front of the small side room.
Yesterday when she came out of the old lady, she and Xiao Jinyu were taken directly to the small Buddha hall.
The two knelt and copied Buddhist scriptures until late at night, although Xiao Jinxuan's tired waist couldn't straighten up, but looking at Xiao Jinyu, who was more unbearable than her, she only felt happy in her heart, and even the pain on her body was much lighter.
It wasn't until the two of them each copied ten volumes of scriptures that Xiao Jinyu hummed and chirped, and was helped back to rest with tears in her eyes.
And because she was the one who was punished, she naturally didn't have the treatment of the other party, so she was directly locked up in the Buddhist hall, and she could only spend the night in a small side room.
And now, Xiao Jinxuan has finished copying half of the scriptures early in the morning, and Xiao Jinyu has only come overdue.
As soon as the other party entered the room, she looked at Xiao Jinxuan, who was kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva to copy the book, and she glanced at the other party with hatred.
"My sister is really diligent, but there is no one around, why don't you sit down and write, you don't feel tired of kneeling like this."
In fact, she wanted Xiao Jinxuan not to take it too seriously, if the other party sat down to write, then she would have a reason not to kneel, and someone would know afterwards, but it could also be pushed on the head of this concubine, who let the other party not kneel first, she just had a good example.
Xiao Jinxuan, who was writing scriptures, didn't raise her head, and the corners of her mouth only hooked up a shallow smile.
"Sister's words are wrong, how dare I be lazy with you, otherwise you will fall on my head if you break the rules, and my sister doesn't know how to be punished."
"You ......" Xiao Jinyu frowned and looked at the other party angrily. I secretly hate that this sister is so cunning, and she doesn't fall for it at all.
Just when Xiao Jinyu accepted her fate and was about to kneel down to copy the scriptures with a bitter face, her personal maid Huanbao pigeon hurriedly ran in.
As soon as she came in, Bao Ge ran to Xiao Jinyu and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, Xiao Jinyu's eyes lit up, and blurted out, "Is it really here?" ”
As soon as the words came out, she quickly covered her mouth again, and saw that Xiao Jinxuan on the other side didn't notice her abnormality, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Xiao Jinyu looked at the treasure pigeon again, and saw that the other party nodded affirmatively at her, and instantly she smiled more delicately.
Then I saw her think about it for a moment, and then suddenly her brow furrowed, and a trace of pain appeared on her face.
"Oh, Bao Pigeon quickly hold me, maybe I slept late yesterday, why did my head suddenly hurt, help me into the side room of the small Buddha hall."
After speaking, she stretched out her flawless jade hand, put it on the wrist of the treasure pigeon, and walked to the side room step by step.
It's just that when she passed by Xiao Jinxuan's side, a look of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Jinyu thinks that she is doing it seamlessly, but in fact, Xiao Jinxuan has long been paying attention to her small actions.
Seeing the other party's figure disappear in front of her, and closing the door of the side room with her hand, Xiao Jinxuan instinctively felt that the other party must have something to hide from her, and it was not a good thing to estimate.
So Xiao Jinxuan, the moment the side door closed, she immediately stood up, and almost at the same time, the door of the small Buddha hall was kicked open from the outside.
Xiao Jinxuan was startled, and out of instinct, she hid directly to the inside of the Buddhist hall, just when she stood firm and looked back at the door.
Before she could see who was coming, she saw that a whole bucket of lamp oil had been splashed on the place where she had just knelt, and the scriptures that she had not had time to pick up were poured into the cold, and they were all soaked in oil.
Xiao Jinxuan secretly shouted in her heart that it was dangerous, and only then did she have to look at the person who came.
At this time, there were five people standing at the door, and in the front was a woman wearing a rose-pink hundred butterfly skirt, with her hair combed in a blonde bun and four red gold pink jade treasure hairpins. The whole body is full of jewels and wealth.
And this woman is also white and delicate, with pretty eyebrows, a rare beauty.
But the only fly in the ointment is that the arrogance on this woman's face is extremely heavy, which dilutes her sense of beauty a lot, and just one glance shows that she is definitely a hot-tempered, brutal and willful person.
And Xiao Jinxuan naturally recognized who the person was, this woman's name is Xiao Jinke, the daughter of the Qian family in the third room, and also the only blood and blood left by her third uncle, in order of generation, she still has to call each other in this handsome mansion, the third sister.
And this Xiao Jinke was indeed a savage and pungent character in his previous life, the Qian family held real power in the Shuai Mansion, and naturally he would not be stingy with this only daughter, as long as the other party asked for it, the Qian family would not refuse.
And the old lady also remembered that the other party was the third son, the only child, as long as she didn't go out of line, she would open her eyes to everything, close her eyes, and let her do nonsense.
The attitude of the elders, if Xiao Jinke's temperament can be good, it is strange, when she was five years old, she was forced to jump into the well, and she had a glorious record.
As she grew older, her tyrannical temper not only did not subside, but intensified, and now it is about to become, and the handsome mansion is a disaster.
And now, seeing this Xiao Jinke, holding an empty bucket in his hand, seeing that he missed a blow, his brows immediately wrinkled together, and he stared at Xiao Jinxuan with standing eyes.
"You are the Xiao Jinxuan who killed my mother in front of the mansion and lost face? It's just a concubine, Miss Ben splashed you, you dared to hide, and the acquaintance quickly lay down in the oil pool and rolled a few laps, and asked Miss Ben to burn you again, to see if you dare to bully my mother. ”
Don't look at Xiao Jinke's bad temper, but she is extremely filial to the Qian family, she died of her father when she was two years old, and the mother and daughter depend on each other for their lives, but whoever dares to hurt the Qian family in the slightest, she dares to carry a knife to fight with people.
So yesterday, when the Qian family went back to change clothes, Xiao Jinke knew that her mother was so miserable by a concubine who had just come, and she immediately had to settle accounts with the other party, but Xiao Jinxuan was in the old lady's courtyard at that time, how could the Qian family let her come nonsense, and she was coaxed and scared for a long time, so she was appeased.
And today, Xiao Jinke knew that this concubine was imprisoned in the small Buddha hall to copy scriptures, and she naturally couldn't let go of such a rare opportunity, so she took her personal maid and the two aunts who guarded the Buddha hall, and kicked the door of the hall to find the other party's bad luck.
With the experience of her previous life, Xiao Jinxuan naturally knew that Xiao Jinke was a ruthless and bold star, and she now understood why Xiao Jinyu just said that she was unwell and wanted to hide in a side room to rest.
is clearly planning to avoid suspicion, and then borrow Xiao Jinke's hand to clean her up, and as long as the other party is not present, she can lie that she doesn't know afterwards, so that even if she is beaten up, no one will say that Xiao Jinyu is cold-blooded and does not defend her sister.
Glancing coldly, glancing at the side room with the double doors closed, Xiao Jinxuan smiled mockingly.
Xiao Jinyu, you are good enough in this abacus, you are tired of me, but you don't want to take on the notoriety yourself, so you want to borrow a knife to kill people, right?
But I'll let you know that this knife is sometimes not so easy to borrow, and if you don't get it right, you will hurt yourself!
Thinking like this in her heart, the glow in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes deepened a little.
