Chapter 7 Sisters Are Sisters After All
On the first day of returning to King Su's Mansion, there was actually nothing to say, after all kinds of courtesy greetings, Xu Buling and Lao Xiao sat in the council hall to listen to the conversation of Suzhou officials and strategists, which was also a court meeting, but Xu Buling was not yet an adult, strictly speaking, he was still a child and couldn't take care of things.
Xu Buling didn't interject nonsense, but just listened to many strategists and officials talk about the situation in the twelve states in the past two years, the current diplomatic attitude of the departments outside the Guan, and so on.
On the other side, Mrs. Lu, under the leadership of the maid of the palace, came to a courtyard in the back house to live, and Xiao Xiang'er followed inch by inch, and the two were still ready to live in the same room.
Mrs. Lu has just arrived, although she brought her own maid, but after all, she has lived in Jinghuayuan for ten years, and she is always a little unaccustomed to living in someone else's house, and it is more reassuring to have a good sister by her side.
And Xiao Xiang'er's thoughts are much more complicated, in order not to let Mrs. Lu 'misunderstand', she naturally has to live under Mrs. Lu's nose.
Secondly, Mrs. Lu has an identity, she is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in Jinling and the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family in Huainan, and even King Su was treated politely when she saw it, and the housekeepers and guests of the palace were naturally terrified.
Xiao Xiang'er is different, the Queen Mother is dead, she has been removed from this world, and now she is a black household, and there is only a little maid with no use by her side, and she doesn't even dare to say what her name is.
inexplicably ran to Xu Buling's territory, if there was no trustworthy person to take care of it, it would not be allowed to be kneaded and pinched flat.
It's nothing to be despised by the housekeeper's maid, in case she and Mrs. Lu are separated, Xu Buling finds a small black room to shut her up, and then does whatever she wants, but she should not call the earth and the earth unspiritual, isn't it that......
Although Xiao Xiang'er knew that Xu Buling would not do that kind of thing, it was always more reassuring to have a sister who could take care of things.
In the blink of an eye, it was already night, and after a day's work, Qiao'e and Yuenu commanded the maid and put all kinds of objects into the wing room of the courtyard, and put them in the appearance that Mrs. Lu was used to.
Mrs. Lu, who had just bathed, closed the door, turned around and looked at the sea of tea, bead curtains, soft couches, show beds, cabinets, etc., and finally settled a little in her heart, thought about it, walked to the side of the cabinet, took out two paintings from it, and hung them on the wall.
Xiao Xiang'er was wearing a bright red skirt, her face was watery, she was a little tired from driving and riding for days, she leaned on the soft couch a little lazily, watched Mrs. Lu walking around in front of her, thought about it, and said softly:
"Red Luan ......"
There had been maids in front of them before, and this was the first time the two had been alone since that night.
Mrs. Lu carefully sorted out the picture scroll, originally two paintings were hung together, after hearing Xiao Xiang'er's voice, she took Xiao Xiang'er's painting down and hung it under Xu Buling.
Xiao Xiang'er frowned slightly, and there was a little annoyance in her apricot eyes, but it was not easy to attack, so she just said softly:
"Hongluan, come here, let's talk."
After Mrs. Lu hung up the picture of the beauty, she clapped her hands, walked to the dignified and elegant side sitting next to the soft couch, picked up the teacup and took a sip:
"What are you talking about?"
Xiao Xiang'er pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and then got up and made a dignified appearance:
"I'm in a hurry, and you don't know my temper? It's much stronger than you...... Xu Buling's life in the Taiji Hall is in danger, you are about to go crazy, at that time, Xu Buling begged me to save him, what can I do? You can't see death without saving ......"
Mrs. Lu's expression was obviously a little weird, and she was a little dissatisfied, and snorted lightly:
"Then you tricked me into going to Furong Temple to burn incense, and left me in the palace and Ling'er Cave Room? No wonder the quilts and pillows have all been changed......"
"You—"
Xiao Xiang'er was a little annoyed: "I'm detoxifying him...... I'm a virgin, and you don't know it, how can you be so unremarkable? At that time, he couldn't even move, he was dying......"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she suddenly blinked, turned her head a little puzzled, and looked Xiao Xiang'er up and down:
"That's right, it was difficult for Ling'er to get up at that time, how did she detoxify?"
“……”
Xiao Xiang'er's face stiffened, looked left and right, sat a little closer, and said with some grievances:
"Do you know how much I have suffered to save your baby? I hadn't even pulled a man's hand before, but he couldn't move when he wanted to detoxify...... I had to undress myself and ...... And then it's what you saw last time, it hurts, and I want to die...... But I couldn't die at that time, and I didn't know what to do, so I still didn't let that guy hold my waist and teach me ......"
Speaking of the first scene, Xiao Xiang'er was red-faced, and her face was even more aggrieved: "That white-eyed wolf, he bullies people when he can move, at that time I was ready for poisonous wine, and he died after saving people, he was still quite energetic, I don't know how uncomfortable I felt in my heart, and forced me to call him 'brother', bah—......"
Mrs. Lu's eyes were weird, her face was a little red, and she thought about it:
"Don't talk nonsense, Ling'er has always been gentle and elegant, how can she be so unbearable...... It's definitely ...... you."
"Are you finished?"
Xiao Xiang'er suddenly became angry, tears were about to come out, and she said coldly: "In order to save him, he bullied me, and you bullied me too?" What do I owe to you both? If I hadn't had to detoxify a hundred times, I would have died a long time ago, do you think I was joking? I don't have a heart......."
Mrs. Lu frowned, and glanced at her suspiciously:
"You're tough, that day...... I saw and heard it that day, and you pressed Ling'er and refused to get up, and you said 'don't go'......"
"I'm dizzy, you chick, you know what...... I'll die for you! ”
Xiao Xiang'er's face was red and purple, and she was so angry that she wanted to get up and find scissors to kill herself.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly raised her hand to hold Xiao Xiang'er, and said softly: "I didn't say you, Ling'er's poison is cured, and I have to thank you...... But you said that you are just for detoxification, nothing else, I don't believe it, and I'm not blind. ”
Xiao Xianger is still intellectually self-deceiving, thinking that she is just detoxifying, and now she is dignified:
"What don't you believe? I've been in a hurry these days, and I've never even seen Xu Buling, and I've been staying with you......"
Mrs. Lu frowned slightly: "I saw it with my own eyes, you are obviously not light detoxification, at that time...... At that time, the expression was so good, and there was a fox tail...... I haven't heard of a round house when it grows a tail......"
Xiao Xiang'er's face was flushed, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, but fortunately, Mrs. Lu was still a chick and didn't know much, so she could only say seriously at the moment:
"That's a way to help him detoxify, you think it's interesting? It's uncomfortable...... And as soon as you detoxify the person, you will faint, you must not be able to imagine that feeling......"
Mrs. Lu picked up the teacup and took a sip, naturally she couldn't imagine it, and she was skeptical:
"You have been smart and clever since you were a child, Taishan collapsed and did not change color, not much worse than your sister, how could you lose your mind and faint......"
Xiao Xiang'er couldn't make sense, thought about it a little, suddenly stood up, ran to her small box, took out the purse containing the golden quail eggs from it, sat down on the soft couch again, and looked at Mrs. Lu seriously:
"Hongluan, you lie down."
Mrs. Lu was inexplicable and sat back: "What are you crazy about?" ”
Xiao Xiang'er wanted to convince Mrs. Lu that women would be dizzy sometimes, so she forcibly pounced and overwhelmed Mrs. Lu, and said seriously: "Don't move, I don't mess around, I just let you experience ......" said and pulled the quail egg a few times, and stuck it under Mrs. Lu's stomach through the skirt.
"You...... Are you crazy? ”
Mrs. Lu felt itchy, and glared at Xiao Xiang'er a few times with some annoyance.
Xiao Xiang'er was very serious: "You close your eyes, you will know later." ”
Mrs. Lu frowned, with a little dissatisfaction, and when she saw that Xiao Xiang'er was not messing around, she closed her eyes.
And then......
And then, naturally, there was no reaction at all.
Mrs. Lu is not a lily, her mind is clear and innocent, and she doesn't feel it at all except for itching through the vibration of her clothes.
Xiao Xiang'er's eyes were full of doubts, and she was about to break the quail eggs to no avail, so she had to say with some annoyance:
"Anyway, you just don't understand, if you don't want to ...... You're definitely ...... faint."
Mrs. Lu "spit-" and said: "What nonsense, I'm his aunt!" How could he ...... me like this" Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu was also a little weak-hearted, after all, Chinese New Year's Eve Xu Buling's drunken appearance, she still can't forget it.
The two of them were at a stalemate for a moment, but Mrs. Lu still sighed softly:
"That's it, I didn't say anything to you, I did it when it was done, and the original intention was to save people...... It's just that if you can't solve the poison a hundred times, you will really commit suicide, anyway, the Queen Mother is dead, and you finally got a free body...... Alas...... After so many years, sister, you can live better, how can I make irresponsible remarks......"
Xiao Xiang'er was actually shaken in her heart for a long time, but after all, she couldn't accept the reality so quickly, so she thought about it and said softly:
"A hundred times, that's a long time...... I can't see people with their true faces in my life anyway, so take advantage of this time of detoxification to take a good look, and there will be no regrets when I die. ”
"Don't keep thinking about dying, when the detoxification is over, you will go back to the Xiao family in Huainan to find your sister, with the skills of the Xiao family, it is not impossible to change your face to give you a new identity, and then find a wishful Langjun, and this life will be stable."
Xiao Xiang'er squinted slightly, raised her hand and hit Mrs. Lu:
"I've given Xu Buling to detoxify, how can I get married?"
Mrs. Lu was very serious: "You can't marry Ling'er, right?" You have no personal affection for him, just detoxification, how can you wronged yourself to marry a junior you don't like. ”
“……”
Xiao Xiang'er blinked, her heart suddenly twitched, and she was silent:
"That's natural, I'm just detoxifying him, how can I marry him to be a child, I'm the concubine of the Huainan Xiao family, I'm a queen everywhere, and no matter how bad it is, it's a princess......"
"You are the queen mother, how can you be a princess...... It is said that Ling'er will be crowned soon, the princess has not yet decided, and now that she has returned to Suzhou, it is time to consider it......"
When Xiao Xiang'er heard about the princess, she suddenly had an idea, and with the intention of pulling a cushion to die, she said:
"Hmm...... Or I'll write a letter to my sister and divorce you, and then ......"
"Phew—"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Lu became annoyed: "Xiao Xiang'er, are you crazy?" I have been widowed for so many years, and I haven't been sorry for your Xiao family, why did you divorce me? ”
Xiao Xiang'er sighed, didn't say anything, and said casually:
"Then it's up to you, I'm just talking...... Xu Buling's concubine will be Princess Su in the future, and the only ones who can marry are the daughters of the 'Xiao Lu Cui Wang Li' family, and there are few people who are right......"
"Alas~ It's a pity that my niece got married, otherwise I could still kiss and kiss ......"
"You're an elm head......"
"How do you curse? Are you sick? ”
The boudoir was chattering and noisy, and gradually regained some of its former atmosphere......
