On the rosewood tea table, a cup of red plum blossom tea, steaming hot, was quietly placed there.

This cup of tea was completely cold until it was put away, and Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting on the side, still didn't take a sip.

And now, she just looked at the envelope that was torn in half in her hand in a daze, stunned, and didn't say a word.

accompanied Bai Shu on the side, looking at Xiao Jinxuan distressedly, since he just came back from outside the house, the other party is like this.

When she was in Jude Restaurant, she and Wen Xin were guarding the door, and Bai Zhu vaguely heard a few words about Zhou Xianrui's conversation in the room, so she knew that her young lady was now afraid that she was trapped by love.

And Xiao Jinxuan is really upset now, and subconsciously, she really wants to open the letter and find out what Zhou Xianyu's current situation is.

But reason told her that she shouldn't be so disconnected, since the two are destined to have no fate, why bother to be involved, and add to the trouble.

Looking at this letter, Xiao Jinxuan's mind will naturally emerge with Zhou Xianyu's evil smile, lazy voice, unruly personality, and the fragrance of the other party's golden orchid.

Just when her thoughts fell into the scene where they were in Yangzhou, the sound of knocking on the door outside pulled her thoughts back to reality.

Then he saw Zhuxin, coming from outside, and said:

"Miss, Miss Jinyu is here, I look at her with a bad look, I'm afraid there must be nothing good, do you want to see her?"

Hearing this, Jinxuan got up and took a jujube wooden box, put the letter in it neatly, and then stabilized her mind, and then said softly:

"Sister Chang is here, how can she be turned away, please come in, I am also curious about why she came."

After a while, Xiao Jinyu was invited in, but as soon as she entered the room, the other party had a bad face, glared at Xiao Jinxuan, and then handed a brocade box to her.

"The fourth sister's heart is really black enough, such a pair of earrings, you actually asked me for six hundred taels of silver, Miss Ben is not rare now, this will be returned to you, the previous note, hurry up and take it out for me."

Xiao Jinxuan reached out and picked up the brocade box, and then glanced at Xiao Jinyu with a smile.

"An hour ago, Sister Chang bought these earrings from my sister at three times the price, why is it that now when I return home, you will change the hexagram, the note set at that time, but my sister wrote it by hand, things are not okay, but the silver can not be less, and I hope that my sister will send six hundred taels of silver to my Forsythia Courtyard as soon as possible."

When Xiao Jinyu heard this, she was so angry that she almost tore the Jinpa in her hand.

Just an hour ago, Xiao Jinyu almost fell down when she was scrambling for earrings, but after being rescued by Qian Yunhong, her heart was even more rippling.

Therefore, in front of the other party, she was even more afraid of losing face, so she was bound to get that pair of earrings.

So when Xiao Jinxuan asked her to pay three times the price to buy it and asked for a note, Xiao Jinxuan agreed without hesitation.

In her opinion, it is a very beautiful thing to be able to spend so much money in front of Qian Yunhong, which can show her demeanor and magnanimity of a handsome lady.

But if the face is too much, something will always happen, and when she got the note, Xiao Jinxuan left satisfied.

But when Xiao Jinyu asked the boss of Baoqingzhai about the price of the earrings, he realized that the earrings in his hand cost two hundred taels of silver.

If it weren't for Qian Yunhong not leaving at that time, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help it, and stepped forward to question the boss, but he was blackmailing her.

You must know that Xiao Jinyu has the property left by Xiao Heng to her, and there is indeed no shortage of money and silver, but even so, two hundred taels is not a small amount.

You must know that in the Shuai Mansion, she can receive Fengyin every month, and her Fengyin in January is only fifty taels, which means that the pair of inconspicuous earrings in front of her will cost her four months of Fengqi.

At the thought of it, the note she had just signed was to buy the earrings at three times the price, so she would have to pay Xiao Jinxuan six hundred taels of silver.

Even if Xiao Jinyu has enough money in her private house, this is not a small amount for her, and she was immediately distressed, and she wanted to cry without tears.

Coincidentally, Qian Yunhong had to send her back to her home in person, so along the way, Xiao Jinyu forced herself to look indifferent, in order to show her financial strength and bearing, but she was about to suffocate internal injuries in her heart.

So as soon as she returned home, she immediately rushed to Forsythia Courtyard to return this sky-high pair of earrings to Xiao Jinxuan.

Anyway, in front of Qian Yunhong, her face was already sufficient, and this pair of earrings that she didn't like very much was naturally useless to her, so Xiao Jinyu wanted to get back the note, and was ready to turn her face and deny it.

But now, Xiao Jinxuan actually said that the earrings can be returned, but the silver must also be taken out, and there is no intention to return the note to her, so Xiao Jinyu will not do it now.

I saw her sneer and said: "Fourth sister, when my sister talks to you with good words, you'd better get acquainted, otherwise if I sue my grandmother, saying that you blackmailed me and fought with me in Baoqing Zhai, with my grandmother's love for me, you should know what the consequences will be." ”

Seeing Xiao Jinyu's current appearance, where is there still that dignified and gentle when she is in front of people, this ugly state that is exposed in its original form is really annoying to watch.

Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyu, she didn't listen to the other party's threats at all, but raised her eyebrows indifferently, and took a sip of tea comfortably.

"What Sister Chang said is, it is estimated that after my grandmother knows, I am afraid that I will be punished to kneel in the small Buddha hall again, but now the small Buddha hall is being repaired, and when it is repaired, Jinxuan will be punished, and I will inevitably invite my sister to accompany her, if it is on fire at that time, my sister can remember to run faster, don't just care about watching the play, and being trapped inside, how can it be good then."

"You ......" stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Jinxuan, Xiao Jinyu couldn't say anything when she was angry.

But Xiao Jinxuan's smiling face suddenly froze, her expression was cold, and as soon as she raised her hand directly, she slapped the other party's finger pointing at her and slapped it aside.

"I don't like to be pointed at and talk, Sister Chang will change this problem next time, as for whether you want to go to your grandmother's to pay the bill, it's all up to you, I'm in Forsythia Courtyard, waiting for my grandmother to summon me."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed, and then she slowly continued:

"But if grandmother asks about today's things, my sister doesn't suggest, how you were stopped by the little marquis, everyone watched, and they didn't want to be separated, and they also said that they heard it with their grandmother, presumably compared with the six hundred taels of silver, grandmother must be more interested in these, and then my sister is telling the people in this house, everyone will definitely talk more about my sister's national appearance, even the little marquis is fascinated, at that time, my sister's reputation in Beijing will be on a higher level."

Looking at the sister in front of her, Xiao Jinyu suddenly felt a little chill in her back, what the other party said was light, but in fact, everything was threatening her.

As a woman, virtue is the most indispensable thing, today she and Qian Yunhong hugged each other, and the things they talked about in each other, if it really spread, I am afraid that her name will be ruined.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Jinyu's arrogance immediately weakened, and her tone also said with a bit of flattery:

"Why should my sister be angry, my sister was just playing with you, isn't it six hundred taels of silver, I'll call Bao Ge to send it over in a while, as for this pair of earrings, since it is my sister who likes it first, then I will also stay, I am my sister, how can I fight with you, but today's matter in Baoqing Zhai ......"

Seeing Xiao Jinyu softening in front of her, Xiao Jinxuan snorted and said:

"Have I seen my sister in Baoqingzhai today? We didn't go out of the house together, and we didn't meet at all. ”

Although the flesh hurt with blood dripping in her heart, Xiao Jinyu was still very satisfied when she heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, and she hurriedly smiled and agreed, and then left in a gloomy manner.

As for the promised silver taels, Xiao Jinyu really sent them, and she didn't dare to miss a penny, and that's for later.

After saying Xiao Jinxuan and sending Xiao Jinyu away, he handed the two earring brocade boxes to Baizhu, and got up and said:

"It's still early, come with me to the second aunt's Changxin Courtyard, and by the way, bring two urns of plum blossom tea, let's visit."

Shen Chuyun likes to be quiet, so the location of Changxin Courtyard is very remote, but coincidentally, Forsythia Courtyard is also secluded, but it is only separated from Changxin Courtyard by a garden, so after walking a few steps, Xiao Jinxuan arrived at Shen's courtyard.

Shen Chuyun's personal maid Siru greeted her, and after asking what she meant, she hurriedly invited Xiao Jinxuan into the room.

As soon as she entered Shen's house, Xiao Jinxuan smelled a very strong smell of medicine, and then she saw that the second aunt was half-leaning on the **, coughing and drinking a bowl of decoction as black as ink.

Looking at the other party's face, even paler and haggard than the last time they met, Xiao Jinxuan stepped forward a few steps, sat on the edge of the **, and said worriedly:

"Second aunt, you are so sick, you should ask your grandmother to invite the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it well, if the decoction does not work, you should change to a new medicine as soon as possible, otherwise when you miss the condition, how can you get it."

When Shen saw Xiao Jinxuan coming, she wanted to speak, but she kept coughing, and it took half a cup of tea for her to say a complete sentence.

"It's Jinxuan who is here, you've been fine in the house recently, I'm such a long-term sick person, you came to see me, how can I give you a sick breath."

When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she shook her head with a smile, and hurriedly said: "What did my aunt say, thanks to my aunt's words and help last time, Jinxuan can continue to live safely in the mansion now, I should have come to see you earlier, but I didn't find a suitable gift, so I didn't come empty-handed." ”

When Shen Shi heard this, he smiled weakly: "It's good if you have this heart, bring everything back, I look like this, I can't use anything." ”

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Shen, who was weak but very kind, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, but somehow, she remembered that her biological mother Yang was here.

Although before leaving, she and the Yang family had a very unpleasant quarrel, but in the end, it was the mother-daughter connection, looking at the second aunt who was the same age as the Yang family, Xiao Jinxuan was thinking, now that she is not by the Yang family's side, if the other party is also sick, will she be like the Shen family, depressed and lonely.

Thinking like this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help frowning and said: "Second aunt, Jinxuan is in this handsome mansion, you also saw it that day, my grandmother doesn't want to see me, and my sister is not close to me, I am actually just a lonely person, I will be free in the future, can I often come to you to sit here, when I see you, I think of my mother." ”

She said this sincerely, and even her eyes were slightly red, Shen was originally a person who was happy and quiet and didn't want to be disturbed, it can be seen that Xiao Jinxuan is like this, and she can't bear it, so she smiled and agreed, and asked her to come over to play often.

On this day, Xiao Jinxuan returned to Forsythia Courtyard very late, and even dinner was used at Shen's place, and with Xiao Jinxuan by her side, it was rare for Shen to eat two more bowls of rice, and even pulled Xiao Jinxuan and talked for a long time before personally sending the other party away.

Since then, Xiao Jinxuan has been a frequent visitor to Changxin Courtyard, and she will accompany the Shen family for a while when she is busy, although the two are not related, but they are all in each other, they have found the warmth of relatives, and the relationship is as close as a mother and daughter, and they remember each other.
