Chapter 102: Who Counts
Xiao Jinxuan slept very unsteadily this night, but she didn't know that for some people, this was also a sleepless night.
Huai'an Houfu, Huayang lives in the Wutong Courtyard, now the night is dark, seeing that there is half an hour, it is about to be time, but the main house, still brightly lit, through the window paper, you can also see a figure, walking around the house, there is no moment to stop.
And the figure reflected in this is actually not someone else, it is Princess Huayang.
Glancing out of the window anxiously, but there was still no movement, Huayang muttered irritably: "It's been a day, and I don't know if Yunhong has done it, if he is disappointing Princess Ben this time, then he, the little marquis, can be regarded as the end." ”
Hearing Huayang's words, a beautiful maid in willow green who was standing beside him bent her eyebrows and frowned slightly, and then hurriedly whispered:
"Why is the princess so angry, I think Young Master Hong must be because he wants to do things for you wholeheartedly, it's too late to return, or the slave maid will serve you to rest first, what is waiting for Ming to say."
Huayang looked at it, and after saying this, she stepped forward to help her green-clothed maidservant, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she snorted coldly.
"Pity, it seems that the Hou Ye is not in the mansion today, you have time to come back and serve me, but you are now the top treasure of the Hou Ye, how dare this princess bother you to serve."
The pity that originally had a smile on his face, as soon as he heard this, he immediately knelt down in fear.
"The princess's words are really tormenting the slave maid, mercy is from your yard, no matter when I dare not forget your grace, not to mention that the Hou Ye is just a fresh picture of the slave maid, the Hou Ye's heart, the most worried about you is naturally the princess, mercy will never dare to have the slightest thought, and please princess Mingjian."
The words of mercy said that he was humble, and after Huayang heard it, the fire of jealousy in his heart was discharged a lot.
As soon as this woman gets older, she will inevitably be old and decrepit, and when Huayang married into the Hou Mansion, relying on her young appearance and noble status, she could naturally suppress the concubines in the mansion unscrupulously.
But as she grew older, and she never gave birth to a son-in-law, Huai'an waited for Qian Ming, thinking about taking a concubine, although she was angry, but there was nothing she could do.
In order not to be shaken, in desperation, Huayang had to take the initiative to send someone to Qian Ming's room, and mercy was the maid she gave to her husband.
Huayang chose mercy at the beginning, also because when the other party served her, she had always been sweet-mouthed, good-looking, and clever.
And this compassion has not disappointed Huayang since it was sent, in the past half a year, Qian Ming has almost been the only one party, and Huayang is naturally mixed with this.
Therefore, whenever Qian Ming was not in the mansion and came back to serve, Huayang couldn't help it, squeezed her a few words, and vented the jealousy in his heart.
After glancing at it again, Hua Yang's heart was happy, so he looked arrogant and asked the other party to stand up again.
And at this moment, suddenly outside the door, there was a knock on the door, Huayang was overjoyed, and hurriedly called mercy to open the door, and then saw Qian Yunhong, who had been looking forward to her for a long time, walking in from the outside.
As soon as he saw Qian Yunhong coming back, Huayang couldn't wait for the other party to sit down, and he didn't even hand over a cup of tea, so he couldn't wait to ask:
"Yunhong, the matter can be done, then Miss Xiao, is she willing to help you, she won't tell us what we are planning."
Qian Yunhong took a breath, and said with a smile: "Mother can rest assured, Xiao Jinyu was already at odds with her sister, plus a few days ago, her forehead was injured, and she was also angry with Xiao Jinxuan, and now she has a scar, and she hates even more hatred, how can there be any reason not to join forces with me." ”
As soon as he heard that the matter was right, Huayang raised his head and smiled, looked at Qian Yunhong, and was rarely pleasant.
"Speaking of which, most of the success of this thing is due to Hong'er, if you hadn't secretly made it aggravate Xiao Jinyu's wound, I'm afraid she wouldn't have taken the risk so easily and joined forces with us."
When Qian Yunhong heard this, he didn't speak, but the light in his eyes flashed, and he smiled silently.
That's right, Xiao Jinyu was injured that day, although it took some time to seek medical treatment and bandage, but Qian Yunhong asked the doctor privately and learned that because the wound was not deep, after healing, it could recover as before.
Xiao Jinyu has an outstanding appearance, and when he learned that the wound would not damage the other party's appearance, Qian Yunhong was indeed relieved, if such a good face was ruined, he also felt that it was a pity.
But suddenly, he thought about it, if Xiao Jinxuan's scar is not healed well and leaves a scar, then Xiao Jinyu's resentment can be imagined, how big it should be.
As soon as this idea came to mind, Qian Yunhong had a vicious plan in his heart.
According to his observation, Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Jinxuan, these sisters are very at odds, so he thought, why not use this opportunity to make these sisters completely turn against each other and never die, so as to better use him.
After making up his mind, Qian Yunhong bought it, and the doctor who bandaged Xiao Jinyu privately changed the medicine originally used to heal the wound to a medicine that damaged the skin.
Therefore, Xiao Jinyu, who was originally fine, would leave that eye-catching scar after removing the gauze, and all of this was from Qian Yunhong's handwriting.
And before Qian Yunhong, he had to leave Xiao Jinke by Xiao Jinyu's side, not really to relieve her boredom, but to change the dressing every day, in order to prevent others from finding out something strange, so he arranged this cousin in the other party's room.
Poor Xiao Jinyu thought that she had calculated Qian Yunhong, but she didn't know that this man who had just been with her had been in the clouds and rain had calculated her again and again since the day of the flower party.
But for Qian Yunhong, Xiao Jinyu, who was vicious and unaware of it, slept very sweetly this night, and in her dreams she also dreamed of how to love each other and rely on each other.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Jinxuan, who was going to say goodbye to the old lady and was disturbed by the nightmare, looked very sleepy, and drank a bowl of contemplative tea boiled in Baizhu to recover a little energy.
After feeling a lot better, Xiao Jinxuan took Zhuxin and Chi Ling and rushed to the old lady's Ningtai Courtyard.
Now her forsythia courtyard is also fully staffed, with Wen Xin in charge outside, and Baizhu watching in the courtyard.
And by her side, there is a bamboo heart to serve and Chi Ling to protect, if she encounters the last time Huayang made things difficult, Xiao Jinxuan is also confident that she will not be alone.
It didn't take long for Xiao Jinxuan to arrive at Ningtai Courtyard, and after meeting the old lady, Xiao Jinyu also came before she could sit down.
I saw Xiao Jinyu, who was dressed very delicately today, and her face was also full of charm, which was more stunning and moving than in the past, but the bangs in front of her forehead were much heavier than before.
Xiao Jinyu had a scar on her forehead, and the old lady went to visit yesterday, and she also saw it.
So now as soon as the other party came, she called Xiao Jinyu with pity and hurriedly came to sit down beside her.
"Yu'er, come to grandmother, I feel better today, although I hurt my forehead, you must relax, grandmother will definitely find someone to heal you."
When she came in, Xiao Jinyu, who was still smiling, heard this, her expression darkened, and then she was aggrieved and nestled into the arms of the old lady.
"Grandmother is so good to me, but Yu'er doesn't want to live now, not to mention the scar on her forehead, outsiders also say that Yu'er is self-inflicted, because she deliberately wanted to harm Sister Xuan, so she hurt herself, grandmother, you say, where can Yu'er be such a vicious person."
At the flower party that day, Xiao Jinyu thought that the assassination of Xiao Jinxuan was extremely secretive, but she didn't know that her action of pushing people was clearly seen by some tourists nearby.
In addition, after Xiao Jinxuan was rescued, she looked at Xiao Jinyu and said the self-inflicted words, which also made the onlookers suspect that it was this Jingshi Immortal who deliberately harmed people behind this.
So a few days after the flower party, there were rumors in Beijing that Xiao Jinyu was vicious and assassinated his sister, it can be said that Xiao Jinyu's reputation outside is not good, and he is shamed by many people.
Xiao Jinxuan, who was quietly drinking tea on the side, heard Xiao Jinyu's complaints, raised her eyes and glanced at the other party, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and lowered her head to take a sip of tea.
This sister-in-law, her ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is really becoming more and more exquisite, and now in front of her, she is telling lies without blushing at all, I have to say, this is also a kind of ability.
Xiao Jinxuan suddenly figured it out, no wonder she couldn't fight the other party in her previous life, just with Xiao Jinyu's cheeky layer, it is definitely impossible to compare with other idlers.
But don't care what Xiao Jinxuan thinks, the old lady just eats this set very much.
Looking at her favorite granddaughter, with her pitiful appearance, the old lady's heart was about to be crumpled.
"Good boy, you tell grandmother that I can do something for you, as for outsiders, Yu'er doesn't have to go to her heart, grandmother knows that you have been wronged."
Xiao Jinyu's crying red eyes, hearing this, couldn't help but flash a look of pride, sure enough, her grandmother took her unusually, and she was willing to rely on her for everything.
"Grandmother, in fact, Yu'er does have something, I want to ask you for help, seeing that three days later, it is the birthday of Guanyin on June 16, you go to the incense this time, can you invite the ladies and ladies of the various provinces to go with you, and then let Sister Xuan, clarify in public, I didn't push her that day, Yu'er's innocence can not be revealed."
The old lady believes in Buddhism, so every year on the birthday of Guanyin, she has to go to the Guanyin Temple outside the city to pray for incense.
But in previous years, the old lady did not invite Beppu, and went to the first place together, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, everything must be cautious in words and deeds, too ostentatious, it is always inappropriate.
But the granddaughter she loves the most wants to take the opportunity to clear her name. The old lady couldn't bear to refuse.
"Yu'er, do you think it's okay for grandmother to arrange for the daughters of the various mansions who are good with you to come to the Shuai Mansion for a small gathering, and then let Jinxuan help you clarify the misunderstanding in public, if it is only because of Guanyin's birthday, invite all the mansions to go together, I am afraid it will attract criticism."
If the old lady personally invites her, the invited people must be the family members of the officials, the Shuai Mansion is already a high merit, even the Ming Emperor is jealous, if you act in such a high profile, it is too easy to cause misunderstanding, and make people suspect the intentions of the Shuai Mansion, which the old lady does not want to see.
But Xiao Jinyu seemed to have thought that the old lady would say this, so she immediately said:
"Grandmother, if it's just Guanyin's birthday, the reason is really not sufficient, but if on the day of the birthday prayer, the coral Guanyin enshrined by the Queen Mother is also there, and you use this as a reason to invite everyone to appreciate it, isn't it logical."
Without waiting for the old lady to ask, Xiao Jinyu smiled lightly and continued:
"More than a month ago, the third aunt didn't say, to give my grandmother a red coral Guanyin, but then the aunt was grounded, this matter is not over, but yesterday when the little marquis came to see me, and I mentioned this matter, it turned out that Huai'an Houfu, has long been this Guanyin, for the grandmother to prepare, and this Guanyin is the past, the queen mother enshrined the one, grandmother mercy, you take this opportunity to help Yu'er."
Hearing that the Qian family actually got the coral Guanyin offered by the Queen Mother, and wanted to give it to herself, the smile on the old lady's face, not to mention how bright it was.
In a good mood, she also agreed to Xiao Jinyu's request, after all, if it was the queen mother's former thing, it was indeed reasonable to invite people from all prefectures to visit and appreciate, and this request was still made by her favorite granddaughter, how could she not agree.
