Chapter 377: Visitation
After Jiang Ruanyan confirmed her thoughts, she wanted to jump up happily, but Gu Shenyuan was still beside her, so she couldn't show it too obviously, so she had to give up.
Shake him off first, and then she ran directly to the backyard happily, "Come on, prepare a car for me." ”
A group of servants were startled when they saw the young lady suddenly appear in the backyard.
After hearing her summons, a servant respectfully walked up to Jiang Ruanyan, "Miss, where are you going?" Do you need to let Steward Jiang go out with you? ”
"Go, go and call him." Jiang Ruanyan replied happily.
Usually, Jiang Ruanyan wants to go out, and he asks Jiang Qing to prepare, and most of the time when he goes out, he is accompanied by Jiang Qing, and he feels a lot more relieved.
But today she suddenly came to the backyard, although it was her own home, but when she heard that she was going out, the little servant didn't see Jiang Qing next to her, and she still felt a little strange.
Fortunately, there was a reminder from the servant.
After Jiang Ruanyan finished speaking, the people below divided into two routes, one ran to find Jiang Qing, and the other went to prepare the carriage.
When Jiang Qing came to the backyard, the carriage was already parked outside the door, and someone brought Jiang Ruanyan a cloak, and he could set off at any time.
"Miss, where are we going?" Jiang Qing arrived in the backyard, but he didn't understand, and when he saw Jiang Ruanyan standing here, he was even more confused.
"Let's go to Xia's house."
"Go to Xia's house, doesn't Miss want Xia Zhiyi to go to the construction site again?" Jiang Qing has always understood Jiang Ruanyan's thoughts.
Although the two days of teasing made the young lady very happy, in essence, he clearly knew that the young lady did not want people with ulterior motives to get involved in the affairs of the victims.
Not to mention Miss Xia, whose purpose was impure at the beginning.
When he got up early this morning, he heard that there were rumors that drove away this Xia Zhiyi, Jiang Qing felt quite comfortable in his heart, and he could live a few days to stop living.
Never thought that now the young lady actually wants to come to the door, doesn't she want Naxia Zhiyi to come back and continue to work as a coolie?
But even if you trick Xia Zhiyi and go, will it be inappropriate for Miss to come to the door now? After all, a while ago, the Xia family wanted to use Xia Zhiran's death to trouble them.
Jiang Qing first breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, allowing himself to relax, and then tried to ask, "Miss, what are you going to Xia's house for?" If it's just a small thing, you might as well leave it to me. ”
"No, no, I'm going to ask for money, you're thin-skinned, you can't do this, just accompany me out." Jiang Ruanyan waved his hand, put on his cloak, and walked towards the door.
Jiang Qing stood in place, his mind still echoing what Jiang Ruanyan had just said, and it took a long time to come to his senses.
When he arrived at Xia's house, Jiang Qing got off the carriage and went to greet the people at the door.
The people at the door, when they first saw their carriage, the expressions on their faces were a little wrong, and after Jiang Qing reported his home, an extremely complicated expression appeared on his face.
First shock, then anger, then disbelief.
After a long delay, Jiang Ruanyan was invited into the mansion.
Because this time Jiang Ruanyan explained that he came to find Xia Zhiyi, and Xia Zhiyi declared that he was unwell, so Jiang Ruanyan was directly invited to Xia Zhiyi's boudoir and did not go to the main hall.
Jiang Qing stayed outside.
As soon as Jiang Ruanyan entered the boudoir, he smelled the aroma coming to his face, and there was no smell of Chinese medicine at all, and he was looking at Xia Zhiyi, who was dressed dignified and decent, half-lying on the bed with clothes on, and his legs were covered with quilts.
Jiang Ruanyan knew at a glance that this was pretending to be at all, how could anyone lie in bed to recuperate, and comb his hair neatly, wouldn't he panic?
However, as soon as he saw that the other party was pretending to be sick, Jiang Ruanyan was relieved.
She deliberately stepped forward to shush Han and asked for warmth, "Miss Xia, why didn't you send someone to inform you when you were sick?" I also heard from the people in the house today that I found out that you were sick. ”
Jiang Ruanyan's words are obvious enough, listening to the people in the house, it is naturally listening to what the people say.
In this capital, everyone knows that although these ladies do not have the external characteristics of long-tongued women like village women, they are also quite curious about the family affairs of each family.
And the people who pass the news between them are the people who will come into contact with each other in the market, and although they hear a lot of news from their mouths, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Not to mention, a lot of these rumors are born from it.
As soon as she heard the "people in the house", Xia Zhiyi naturally thought of the rumors that ruined her reputation this morning.
However, before Jiang Ruanyan mentioned it, she couldn't expose it first.
Xia Zhiyi glanced at Jiang Ruanyan angrily, and sneered, "Don't worry about Miss Jiang, it's just a minor illness, and it's not enough to worry about it." ”
Jiang Ruanyan wanted to laugh when she heard this, but she couldn't help it, hurriedly changed her anxious look, and warmly took Xia Zhiyi's hand.
"Miss Xia, don't say that, you were on the construction site yesterday, but you did your best for the victims, and you did everything yourself, if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be so tired that you would fall ill."
Everyone present could hear that Jiang Ruanyan was ridiculing again, yesterday Xia Zhiyi personally handled the matter of building a house.
"In this way, there is an information desk on my construction site, in which I have arranged many doctors on duty, their medical skills are good, very trustworthy, I asked them to quickly transfer a doctor over and show you."
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to shout Jiang Qing, but Xia Zhiyi hurriedly grabbed her.
"No need Miss Jiang, it's just a minor illness, the doctor has already come to see it, so you don't have to bother the doctor over there to make a trip."
Originally, Xia Zhiyi didn't want to be exposed, and now she didn't want to have anything to do with any men on the construction site.
When she returned to the house yesterday, she was still very happy, after all, that person was so similar to Gu Shenyuan, and he built a house with her, and talked to her for a long time, this is simply what she dreamed of.
But despite this, that person never said his name, nor did he admit that he was Gu Shenyuan, so rumors spread all over the place today, which made Xia Zhiyi not even have the slightest evidence to refute it.
I can only hide at home, praying that the rumors will pass quickly. Otherwise, she will be innocent in the future.
"Oh, did the doctor say that it will take a few days to heal?" Jiang Ruanyan thought to herself, we don't care so much, she is ready and starts to set up.
"This doctor didn't mention it, but he only said that it was a minor illness, and he could recuperate for a few days." Xia Zhiyi was immersed in his anger and didn't notice it.
"That's good, if this time is delayed for too long, I'm afraid that the victims on the construction site will think of you, and when the time comes, they will all come to visit and disturb the rest of Miss, it will not be good."
After Jiang Softyan's words were finished, Xia Zhiyi's heartbeat was frightened, those victims were stupid, but there was no need to come to the house to visit her, it would be even more troublesome for people to see her when the time came.
The most important thing is that she doesn't want this clean room to have the complicated smell of the embroidery room.
"No need, Miss Jiang, please help me tell them, I'm just a minor illness, just recuperate for two days, and I'll go to see them when I'm well."
Jiang Ruanyan heard this, smiled and nodded.
"Where are you going?"
However, just as the two were talking, a stern voice sounded outside the house, and as soon as Jiang Ruanyan turned around, all the servants in the house had already lowered their heads and looked respectful.
An old woman walked in, if it weren't for the surrounding environment, Jiang Ruanyan would have thought that he had seen the queen mother.
The old woman looked fierce and vicious, dressed in a low-key and luxurious manner, and walked in the middle, supported by a maidservant, and followed by a group of people.
Jiang Ruanyan looked at her and wondered, just walking in the yard of her house, why do you want so many people to follow? Isn't it too much trouble?
However, I wondered if the elders were here, and there had to be politeness, Jiang Ruanyan hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Madame." ”
"Mother." Xia Zhiyi on the bed also shouted weakly.
"You don't have to salute, just lie down." As soon as the old lady waved her hand, Xia Zhiyi shrank aside and no longer dared to speak.
"When I passed by the boudoir just now, I happened to hear the conversation between the two of you, this child is kind-hearted and wants to help the victims, but I, a mother, are really distressed to look at him, so I don't plan to let him go to the construction site in the future, and I ask Miss Xia to go back and redo the arrangements."
Jiang Ruanyan doesn't care about this, if she doesn't go, she won't go, and it won't affect her anyway.
And she saves effort, so she doesn't have to arrange this arrangement or that. It's just that this old woman may have misunderstood the purpose of her trip, thinking that she had made a special trip to persuade Xia Zhiyi to go back, so she was so angry.
Jiang Ruanyan snickered in his heart when he thought of this, "Madam, if you really think so, then you really underestimate me." ”
"What Madame said is that Miss Xia is unwell now, so she should have a good rest." But it's also a little interesting to tease her old man on this.
"But the victims on the construction site miss Miss Xia very much, not because of her hands-on, but because Miss Xia feels very affinity, and everyone likes her so much."
"Miss Jiang, you don't have to joke with me, do you? If you want to compare this affinity, I think it will be difficult to find a second one among the ladies in the capital, like Miss Jiang, a girl who can give people such affinity. ”
Jiang Ruanyan was not difficult to hear that Mrs. Xia was laughing at her identity.
Yes, old lady, she was so poisonous as soon as she came up.
"Mrs. Xia's words are bad, although I have affinity, but your young lady is not bad, otherwise, how can there be such rumors in the market?"
Jiang Ruanyan's eyebrows jumped slightly, she didn't need to explain which rumor it was, she knew that the mother and daughter were very clear in their hearts.
"You are so presumptuous, you dare to come to my house, say such things, come on, blow her out for me." After Xia Fu finished speaking, a group of people behind him almost stepped forward.
"Mrs. Xia thinks twice." Jiang Ruanyan turned around unhurriedly, picked up the tea next to him, lifted the tea lid gently, blew it, and took a small sip before continuing slowly.
"Mrs. Xia, please think twice, I am not only representing me personally, but also Jishitang, and Jishitang is not just a small shop now, it has a more important responsibility, that is, to help the victims."
