Falling Horse Chapter 017: Trading
"Xiaocha, you're finally back." When Lili opened the door after washing, she saw Xiaocha preparing vegetables at the table in the yard.
"You're awake, we'll go to Madame's after breakfast." Xiaocha beckoned Lili to sit down.
"Wow, did you do this?" Lili sat down, looked at the table full of breakfast that exceeded the specifications of the next person, and exclaimed.
"Count... Right. Xiaocha's answer was vague, but fortunately, Lili didn't care.
Instead, he beckoned to Xiaocha:
"Come on, come on, let's eat together."
I don't know if there is a heart or not, this yard is only arranged for Xiaocha and Lili, although it is small, but it is better than exquisite, there should be no shortage of the same, as a subordinate, this is the envy of many other maids in the house.
"Okay." Although the small tea is made of delicate dim sum, it is a little tasteless.
This morning, she arranged everything and walked in with a token from the gate of Suifu, but saw Cheng Rang who had been waiting for a long time at the corner under the corridor.
Against Xiao Tang's face, Cheng Rang was expressionless at the time, Xiao Cha saw that he couldn't avoid him, so he had to resign himself to his fate, Cheng Rang didn't say anything, just gave Xiao Cha the food box in his hand, and patted her shoulder, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them:
"A new life begins."
With a pun, Xiaocha took the food box back, and found that Cheng Rang had prepared a hearty breakfast for her, most of which were unseen western Yunnan, delicate and small, Xiaocha couldn't finish it alone, so she simply gave it to Lili to share.
The two of them had breakfast and walked towards the courtyard of Mrs. Sui.
"Xiaocha, have you taken care of your family's affairs, so far away, you must not have had a good rest in the past month." Seeing that Lili was a little sympathetic to herself, Xiaocha felt a little helpless but didn't know whether to say it or not, she had been recuperating from Cheng Rang's injuries for the past month, and she even gained two pounds.
Fortunately, Fucheng's mention made Xiaocha deliberately wronged herself in the past few days, and at this moment, it looks like she is really a little tired.
"It doesn't matter." Xiaocha smiled at Lili.
"That's good, Mrs. Sui gave you a month's vacation without asking too much that day, and Mrs. treated us very well." Lili said to Xiaocha.
The person on that day was not the real Xiaocha, but later I learned that it was Yunqiu pretending, and his body was really similar to Xiaocha.
"Sister Lili, I understand." Xiao Cha nodded to Lili, Lili had always known that Xiao Cha was smart, and she didn't say anything more at the moment, the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards Mrs. Sui's room.
"Ma'am." Lili knocked lightly on the door of her wife's room, but when there was no answer, she pushed the door open.
The two came very early, and before it was time to get up with Mrs. Sui, they consciously brought hot water and waited for Mrs. Sui to get up and wash.
"What time is it?" The figure of Mrs. Sui came from the curtain.
"Mrs. Hui, just when you are ugly." Xiao Cha replied.
"It's Xiaocha back." Mrs. Sui immediately heard Xiaocha's voice:
"Wash up with me."
"Yes." Xiaocha and Lili hurriedly arrived.
When Mrs. Sui had breakfast, the two were still waiting by their side, and the grandmother next to Mrs. came to report:
"Madam, what kind of trip is there today, the old man is good to arrange."
"Lili." Mrs. Sui put down the chopsticks in her hand and said.
"Ma'am." Lili took a step forward.
"The clothes I ordered at the show half a month ago should also arrive, you can go and get them for me in person, and then see if there are any good and new materials, and set them together." Mrs. Sui instructed Lili, Lili embroidery was originally the number one, and because of this, she had to follow Mrs. Qing's eyes.
"Yes, ma'am." Lili saluted.
"Xiaocha will go out of the house with me, and the New Year is approaching, so it is naturally indispensable to worship Buddha and incense." Traveling with the wife, especially going to the temple, is always not happy with many people.
"Yes." Small tea should also be served.
Lili went out of the house with Mama, and after breakfast, Xiaocha wanted to dress and change clothes with Mrs. Sui, but when she came to Mrs. Sui with her clothes, Mrs. Sui had no intention of standing up.
"You all step down, Xiaocha can serve me." Mrs. Sui said to the others in the room.
"Yes." After the other maids left, Mrs. Sui smiled at Xiao Cha and said to her:
"Rare."
"Ma'am?" Xiaocha wanted to look into Mrs. Sui's heart at the moment, and she didn't know if she knew something.
Mrs. Sui didn't speak, but she took out something out of nowhere.
"That's what you've been looking for, isn't it?"
The boxy frame, the whole body is white and flawless, it is the blood jade that Xiaocha has been looking for.
"The slave doesn't know." Xiaocha simply lowered her head and said to Mrs. Sui.
"You know." Mrs. Sui patted Xiaocha's heart:
"Your piece is right here."
Xiaocha never thought that Mrs. Sui was also such a master of insight into people's hearts.
"Madame already knows, don't you want it?"
Xiao Cha saw Mrs. Sui's eyes, although they seemed to be as warm as water, but under these eyes, there were thousands of turbulent waves, so she simply took out her blood jade.
"It's beautiful." Mrs. Sui held a piece in one hand and praised.
"Blood jade and jasper are originally tiger talismans." Xiaocha said to Mrs. Sui:
"It's you, or Jiang Guifei's."
"Huh." Mrs. Sui's words that she didn't know was Xiaocha amused her, and replied to Xiaocha's words:
"Why can't it be shared between me and Concubine Jiang."
"You and Concubine Jiang are not all the way." When Mrs. Sui was young, she was the current one, and she didn't want to be the current Jiang Guifei.
"Why is it also my own sister, you say this, aren't you afraid that I will be angry?" Mrs. Sui's eyebrows are different from Sui Yuesheng's, but Cheng Rang has a little belief, and his heart is tough and strong.
"Madame exposed her words in the past 100 days today, so naturally she knows a little about me, isn't Madame afraid that I will be angry?" Xiaocha asked Mrs. Sui rhetorically.
"You won't." Mrs. Sui said confidently.
"Just because I am Suiyue's mother, the staple lady of Suifu, and even more, the person who allowed Cheng Rang to stay in Suifu."
"Madame is too confident in what she said, what does this have to do with me." Xiao Cha can basically be sure at this moment that Mrs. Sui didn't know that she was the city lord of Pulau City, but she got closer to Cheng Rang and attracted Mrs. Sui's attention.
"I was like that when I was your age."
"So what does Madame want to say today." Xiaocha interrupted Mrs. Sui's memories, now Mrs. Sui is very good, but Xiaocha doesn't want to be bound by her love for another person, she is free, she always has been.
"I can give it to you, but you have to promise me three things." Mrs. Sui finally got down to business.
"What if I don't agree." Xiaocha simply rejected the proposal, she didn't like such a deal.
"Like you said, blood jade and jasper are tiger talismans, if you only have blood jade in your hand, it will have no effect." Mrs. Sui felt that Xiaocha was lurking in Suifu, but it was just for the sake of the tiger talisman, and only she could get the jasper at the moment.
Xiaocha smiled, very presumptuous.
"If I don't, never."
Xiaocha came to Suifu, it was also a coincidence, this tiger talisman thing, she didn't come for this, although it was a pursuit at the moment, but if it was really jade, she would rather not.
"You have jasper in your hand, and I can also destroy this blood jade."
"It's a big deal, no one wants to force me to do anything." Xiao Cha had an evil smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to Mrs. Sui unscrupulously.
"Okay." It's not Mrs. Sui, but it's the voice of Suiyue.
Coming in from the window over the wall, Sui Yuesheng applauded at Xiaocha and said:
"He is worthy of being the person that the Eighth Prince has a crush on."
Speaking of Cheng Rang, Xiao Cha frowned, at some point just now, she had also thought of Cheng Rang.
"Today, is it your game?" When Xiao Cha faced Sui Yuesheng walking towards them, he instinctively took two steps back with the blood jade.
"Not ours." Sui Yuesheng pointed to the sky:
"It's you with him."
"I don't know what you're trying to do with all this effort, but whatever it is, I'm not interested." Xiao Cha's hand hooked, and the blood jade was hidden again.
"Then it can't be helped." Sui Yuesheng shrugged his shoulders as if regretful:
"There is nothing we can do about the sixteen months."
"Say it again." Hearing the words of Sixteen Lu Yue, Xiao Cha instinctively reacted sensitively.
"These days, the Five Princes have been trying to dismantle the Sixteenth Moon, I believe you know."
"And we originally wanted to form an alliance with you and fight against the five princes together......"
What Sui Yuesheng said to Xiao Cha is not unreasonable, Xiao Cha has been hiding his identity as the lord of Pulau City, and now he is being targeted by the five princes, if he sits and waits to be killed, he is afraid that everything will be revealed in the near future, and Sixteen Luyue is in crisis at this moment.
Sui Yuesheng and Cheng Rang are now in the dark, naturally they can't be as smooth as the five princes, and the best way at the moment is for them to form an alliance and fight against the five princes inside and outside.
"Inside and outside?" Xiaocha grasped the point in Sui Yuesheng's words.
When it comes to these four words, Sui Yuesheng doesn't know what Cheng Rang thinks, is it just perfunctory in the past, and the real purpose is to use Xiaocha as a chess piece.
"You go and get close to the five princes, and I'll take care of the rest."
Xiaocha was laughed at by Sui Yuesheng's words:
"Since An Lao already knows that the blood jade is on me, how can I get close to the five princes, which is tantamount to making me commit suicide?"
The danger of the five princes, Xiaocha has already understood from the fact that Sixteen Luyue and Cheng Rang were both pitted, not to mention that he was afraid that he would not be angry that day, and how Xiaocha approached the five princes in a bright and bright way.
"Where is Cheng Rang, I want to see him." Right now, in this room, it's just that Suiyue's mother and son are talking to Xiao Cha.
Sui Yuesheng looked at Xiaocha and was about to walk out of the door and stopped her:
"It's useless for you to go now, Cheng Rang has already left Thousand Yang City."
Cheng Rang hurriedly explained the matter to Sui Yuesheng, and left Qianyang City without saying anything, and he didn't know what Cheng Rang was going to do.
Xiaocha didn't stop, and without speaking, she directly pushed open the door and left.
