Chapter 17: The Soul of Gossip

The twilight sun fell on the corners of the mansion, and when Mrs. Lu came back from the Xiao family's ancestral house, she saw that everyone had gone out and returned to the room alone, with a little sadness on her cheeks.

As the matchmaker who courted this time, Mrs. Lu was extremely attentive, but Miss Xiao did not come forward, she could only talk to the ladies in charge of each room of the Xiao family. Where did those ladies dare to call the shots for Miss Xiao, they all promised to help match, but they were actually of no use at all.

After Mrs. Lu was busy for a long time to no avail, she still felt that she wanted to talk to Miss Xiao face-to-face.

Mrs. Lu didn't know that Xiao Qi had been slept by her baby pimple, so she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart - her own handsome man was also a well-rounded man in civil and military affairs, and he was in a high position, and he couldn't even control her aunt......

As I thought about it, footsteps sounded outside the room.

Mrs. Lu glanced up, but saw Xiao Xiang'er floating back in a circle, dancing the palace dance with her skirt in her hand, like a happy little magpie, and the dignified demeanor of the Queen Mother was gone.

Mrs. Lu was worried, seeing that her good sister was so skinny, she had some opinions in her heart, got up and walked to the window and mocked:

"Xiang'er, did you take the wrong medicine?"

Xiao Xiang'er didn't mind Mrs. Lu's tone at all, Ruxing's eyes showed a happy look, and she ran to the house and grabbed Mrs. Lu's arm:

"Hongluan, my sister doesn't blame me, I can be with Xu Buling openly and honestly, are you happy?"

I'm not happy......

Mrs. Lu squinted slightly, raised her hand and patted Xiang'er's buttocks:

"Shame or not? Can you talk about this? ”

The force was quite strong, there was a crisp sound, the tense buttocks trembled a few times, Xiao Xiang'er let out a painful 'woo', and glared at her best friend lightly:

"Why are you doing so much? In case I don't see ...... at night."

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiang'er's face turned red, but she let go of it after thinking about it, and she didn't twist it at all: "I saw a slap mark on my body at night, how can I explain it to him?" He liked it the most to get me on my stomach......"

"Whewβ€”"

Mrs. Lu's face turned red, and she felt that Xiang'er, who was dignified and atmospheric in the past, had gone crazy, and raised her hand to hit again.

Xiao Xiang'er is not a lamb to be slaughtered, so she pinched Mrs. Lu's tight skirt with her backhand:

"Shame on what? You are an elder of Xu Buling, not an outsider......"

Mrs. Lu's figure is about the same as Xiang'er, but after all, she has no personnel, and she can't stand it, so she glared at her a few times and became serious:

"Okay, you saw your sister, have you ever talked to her about Ling'er's marriage?"

"Uh......"

Xiao Xiang'er's face was slightly stiff, she hooked the hair around her ears, and was a little embarrassed: "She is my own sister, where can I speak, and I was ...... last night."

"If you don't persuade your sister to agree, how will you show up in the future? Could it be that I always want to hide in the back house, so I am not afraid of suffocation? ”

Mrs. Lu sighed, looked at Xiang'er with some disappointment, thought about it, and walked out:

"Forget it, you are sisters, it doesn't matter if you can't open your mouth, you take me over to meet your sister, and I'll talk to her."

Xiao Xiang'er also felt that this was too strange for her, so she agreed to come down, put on a cloak to cover her face, and walked from the uninhabited path to the riverside garden.

Xiao Qi's reputation as 'can be a national soldier' is too big, and Mrs. Lu is also a little restrained in the face of it, and she only dares to evaluate it behind her back. was about to run over to talk to Xiao Qi about marriage, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and she called Xiao Qi her aunt, but in fact, it was not very easy to speak, so she inquired about Xiao Qi's tone:

"Xiang'er, when you talked about Xu Buling, what was your sister's attitude?"

Xiao Xiang'er was afraid of being discovered by the Xiao family, so she carefully observed her surroundings:

"My sister has always been resourceful and calculating, Xu Buling can't suppress her at all, judging from last night's chat, my sister doesn't seem to like Xu Buling very much, huh...... Some even resisted ......"

Mrs. Lu's heart tightened, and she frowned and said, "Why? Ling'er is both talented and beautiful, and she is the prince of the vassal king, it is not to be a small princess to invite her to be a princess, is it possible that Dayue has a higher status than Ling'er, she wants to be a queen? ”

Xiao Xiang'er is already the queen mother, and her sister will definitely not be able to be the queen in turn. Xiao Xianger is also a little puzzled by this:

"I can't guess my sister's thoughts, it stands to reason that Xu Buling is so handsome and right, and he should have some good feelings when he came to ask for marriage, but last night was really cold, Xu Buling went with me, and kicked Xu Buling out......"

"Could it be that your sister is shy, this is good news......"

"How can my sister be shy, in front of outsiders, my sister has never been happy and angry...... I guess it's because of me, I'm already living with Xu Buling, and it's enough for me to marry the gate valve in secret, if she marries and becomes a husband with two daughters, or give it for nothing, I feel a loss, let alone her......"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she thought about it a little, felt that it made sense, and softened her tone a little: "Ling'er seems to want to marry Xiao Qi, and they are also compatible with each other, and they have already come over, so they have to talk to your sister well." As long as it's done, it's easier for you to show up in the future......"

Xiao Xiang'er was actually a little unhappy that Xu Buling fell in love with her sister, but for the sake of the future of King Su's lineage, this marriage on the surface still had to be there, so she also nodded.

The two of them came to the Linhu Garden, and when Xiao Qi sent Xiao Xiang'er back, he came out of Zhuangzi, and it was estimated that he would come back in the evening, and the garden was empty.

Xiao Xiang'er took Mrs. Lu directly to the attic and came to the study, which was a temporary residence, and it was impossible to put important objects here, and the files on the desk were all cleaned up.

Xiao Xiang'er made a pot of tea, and the two of them sat on the soft floor and waited quietly, discussing how to persuade Xiao Qi by the way.

In a blink of an eye, it was dark, and the sound of wheels sounded outside the garden, Xiao Xiang'er knew that her sister was back, so she walked to the window and took a look, but saw her sister's carriage parked in the willow forest outside the courtyard wall, and the guards stopped outside, and the two of them walked side by side to the garden, one of them was in a white robe like snow, it was not her stinky brother.

???

Xiao Xiang'er was stunned, she didn't expect Xu Buling to come to the other garden with Xiao Qi, and let the guards wait outside, obviously wanting to be alone.

This......

Xiao Xiang'er's eyes flashed with a little doubt, and driven by the gossip psychology, she hurriedly waved her hand and put away the teacup, and pulled Mrs. Lu to run to the room where the maid was resting.

Mrs. Lu was a little strange, and asked suspiciously: "Xiang'er, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't make a sound, Xu Buling is back with my sister."

"Ling'er is here?"

Mrs. Lu was slightly stunned, and then she was a little suspicious in her heart, and she hid in the small room with Xiang'er without thinking about it. Both of them are people close to Xu Buling, and they know Xu Buling's keen perception very well, and they also covered their mouths with their hands to hold their breath and wait cautiously......
