CHAPTER XXIV
When they arrived at the gate of Shangshu Mansion, after Cuiyun helped Xu Jiayi get off the carriage, Xu Jiayi looked sideways at the brown horse, paused and said, "Uncle Wang, this horse is taking care of it." ”
"Yes, the old slave saved it."
Xu Jiayi bowed slightly, and then slowly went to Jiaxi Garden.
In the main room, when Cui's went out, he happened to meet Qian's who came to find Zhao's, and couldn't help but pause, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, bowed his head slightly, and after bowing slightly, he didn't say a word, and stumbled out.
Before Qian opened his mouth and asked, he saw that Cui had already walked away, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked curiously as he walked into the house, "What is she doing here?" ”
"Say goodbye." Zhao's body trembled, and when he saw Qian's face, he looked better, glared angrily at the direction where Cui's disappeared at the door, and said angrily.
"Say kiss? To Sister Qing? Qian's eyes widened in surprise, although Cui Qing was older than Wang Yunxiu, but it had only just passed and not long ago, and the people who had already settled so quickly had progressed to the point of saying kiss?
And it's a good thing to say that it's pro, why is my sister-in-law still angry like this?
"Which family's young master is fixed?" Qian didn't regard himself as a guest at all, he found a place to sit down, and when he saw Zhao's ugly face, he poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "What did Cui Shi say, everyone has already left, are you still angry?" ”
Zhao drank a glass of water in one go, only to feel that the fire was still pressing on his heart, and he didn't have the heart to answer after listening to Qian's words, so he only snorted dissatisfiedly.
However, the early summer who was waiting by the Zhao family's side saw that the master did not speak, and he also answered with an indignant face, "The second lady doesn't know, Mrs. Cui came here today because she wants my wife to go to Jiaqing Bofu for Miss Qing to propose her relatives!" ”
"Which young master is from Bofu?" Qian was a little surprised, his eyes widened, and seeing that Zhao's face was ugly, he filtered the situation of several young masters in Jiaqing Bo Mansion in his mind, and there was only one person of marriageable age who did not have a marriage contract.
Qian guessed in disbelief, "Is it the son of Jiaqing Bofu?" ”
I thought it was just my own random speculation, but I saw Zhao nodding.
Qian was even more surprised, and was speechless for a long time.
This Jiaqing Bofu is a famous family, especially this prince Mu Qingfeng, who can be regarded as an outstanding figure in the entire Yanjing City.
Not only is he from a good background, but he is also a motivated and talented person.
Outsiders say that the brothers in their Shangshu Mansion are outstanding and young and promising, but they are not the children who belittle themselves as mothers, Jing'er and the others are no match for Mu Qingfeng.
Not to mention Cui Qing, it is the Yunxiu girl of their Shangshu Mansion, from some aspects, it can be regarded as a high climb.
I don't know what this Cui family thinks, but she knows that Mu Qingfeng is good, why don't she look at what her identity is, can she climb high to others? !
I heard that the reason why Mu Qingfeng has not had a marriage contract so far is because the noble concubine in the palace deliberately pointed out her niece to Mu Qingfeng, so she has been dragging it out.
Seeing that Zhao didn't want to mention it again, Qian smiled and said, "In a few days, it will be Sister Yun'er's ceremony, I came today to ask my sister-in-law if there is anything to help here." ”
Speaking of his daughter, Zhao's face finally showed a little smile, "Speaking of this, I have thought about the rest of the ceremony, and the praiser has already said that it will be decided one by one, but this Zhengbin has not yet decided who to invite." ”
The guests generally select the elders with virtue and ability to act as the main responsible for the presiding and adding of the whole ceremony, expressing the blessings of the elders to the younger generations. And the selection of Zhengbin is simple and simple, complicated and complicated, the more valuable the identity of Zhengbin, the more faceful the girl with the Xu.
Zhao thought about it for a long time, but there were several alternatives, but he had been hesitant and didn't know who to decide.
When the Qian family heard this, they immediately discussed it with the Zhao family, talked about the respective advantages of these guests, and finally decided to set Mrs. Ming of the Qing Mansion of Dali Temple as the main guest.
After Cui came back from Zhao's side, he went back to the house directly, and looked at his daughter who was waiting in the house, and paused before stepping in.
Cui Qing knew that Zhao definitely didn't agree when he saw Cui's face, and his face sank.
"Anything that is treated equally, it's a lie!" Cui Qing angrily threw out the teacup in his hand, and fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered into several pieces, "If the person who went to her for help today was Xu Jiayi, she would have gone to Jiaqingbo Mansion in a hurry!" ”
Cui Shi shrunk his neck, and waited until Cui Qing calmed down a little before he said loudly, "Qing'er, although the son of the world is good, but Jiaqingbo Mansion is not something we can climb, or ...... Forget it. ”
In the past eight years in Shangshu Mansion, at the beginning, the Cui family could still call the shots for Cui Qing, but as Cui Qing's age increased, it was Cui Qing who was in charge, and the Cui family had no room to speak. Even Cui's mother, in front of Cui Qing, always felt a head shorter.
was still angry in his heart, but after hearing Cui's words, Cui Qing couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Cui's eyes, seeing Cui's heart numb, and laughed embarrassedly.
Cui Qing snorted lightly and looked away.
Since Zhao refused to help her, she would figure it out by herself!
Jiaxi Garden
Yuan Xiang didn't go out of the house with Xu Jiayi today, seeing that the hour was getting late, but she still didn't see Xu Jiayi come back, and she was very anxious in her heart. Glancing at the sky, Yuan Xiang stomped her feet, thinking about going directly to the second gate to greet the girl, but as soon as she left the courtyard gate, she looked at Xu Jiayi's figure.
As soon as Xu Jiayi stepped into the door, Yuan Xiang immediately surrounded her.
Seeing Xu Jiayi limping while walking, Cuiyun's eyes were also a little swollen, and her eye sockets were bloodshot. The clothes of the two people were even more covered with dust, and when they saw this situation, they panicked, "Girl, what's the matter?" Did you fall? Do you have a foot injury? Slave and maid, go to the doctor! ”
"Stop! Don't go to the doctor! Xu Jiayi scolded with a cold face, and when she saw that Yuan Xiang paused, her face was a little kind, and her face eased, "I'm fine, I don't need to invite the doctor over, just ask someone to bring a few buckets of hot water in, I want to bathe." ”
Yuan Xiang turned her head a little embarrassed to look at Xiangqiao who came over after hearing the sound, and saw that Xiangqiao nodded slightly before turning around and answering, "Yes." ”
After returning to Jiaxi Garden, Xu Jiayi looked at Cuiyun, "Cuiyun, I don't need you to serve here, you can also go down to take a bath first and have a good rest." ”
"Yes......" Cuiyun nodded and retreated silently.
After the maid filled the bathtub with hot water, Xu Jiayi withdrew everyone else, leaving Yuanxiang alone to wait.
The moment her body was soaked in hot water, Xu Jiayi only felt comfortable, and the fatigue and sourness of her body all day disappeared at this time. Slowly closed her eyes and leaned against the edge of the wall of the bathtub, letting Yuanxiang clean her hair and comb her hair......
After Yuan Xiang washed Xu Jiayi's hair, she found that Xu Jiayi was asleep, and couldn't help whispering in her ear, "Girl, the water is a little cold, be careful about the cold." ”
Xu Jiayi slowly opened her eyes and found that the water temperature had indeed cooled down, so she nodded. I got up from the tub, took a change of clothes and dressed neatly, took a handkerchief and dried my hair before walking to the inner room.
Xiangqiao had already come back after visiting Cuiyun, and saw Xu Jiayi wiping her hair and walking over slowly to take the handkerchief and carefully take over Xu Jiayi's water, knowing that Xu Jiayi didn't want to say what happened today, Xiangqiao didn't ask.
I just went to ask Cuiyun about the situation, and Cuiyun didn't say what happened for a long time, and finally said that the girl was injured after accidentally falling. For Cuiyun's words, Xiangqiao didn't believe a word.
How can a fall hurt like this?!
What's more, if she really accidentally fell, how could the girl not want to ask the doctor to come over, but secretly wanted to hide the matter.
But now that the girl is grown, she likes to make her own decisions about many things. She, a servant girl, can give opinions, but she must not go against the will of the master or influence the master's thoughts. Yi Xiangqiao thinks that it doesn't matter if Xu Jiayi says it or not, as long as the person is fine.
Xiangqiao paused and only said, "The old lady was a little angry after knowing that you were out of the house, girl, and asked Mama Su to come and see if you came back at noon?" ”
"I'll go to Wan'an Hall to say hello to my grandmother later." Xu Jiayi bit her finger and answered.
"The Girl's Wounded ......"
Xu Jiayi was silent and looked down at her ankles. There was a skirt outside, and as long as she didn't lift the skirt, she couldn't tell that she was injured, but it was a little obvious when she walked.
Not to mention the injuries on the hands......
Xu Jiayi wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, looking at the mark of her palm being strangled by the horse's reins, and was a little irritable. Although this wound is not very painful, it looks terrifying, and if the old lady knows about it, I am afraid that she will be worried again. But if you don't go, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, which provokes the old lady to speculate.
Xu Jiayi shook her hand in front of Xiangqiao's eyes and asked, "Xiangqiao, is there a way to cover this trace?" ”
"The girl's hand hurts too?!" Xiangqiao couldn't help but be surprised, she thought she only hurt her foot, but she didn't know that her hand was also injured, so she immediately looked down. After seeing it clearly, my heart ached, "Girl, I'll go get some medicine for you." ”
"No, it's okay to wait until bedtime to apply it. Find a way to cover it first, so that your grandmother doesn't see it. ”
Xiangqiao thought for a while, "I don't know if it will work with lead powder." ”
After Xiang Qiaozi carefully coated Xu Jiayi's palm with a layer of lead powder, although it looked less terrifying, it was also very obvious. Xu Jiayi frowned slightly, looked at the sky outside, and stood up, "That's it, I'll be careful not to show my palm." ”
When Xu Jiayi led Xiangqiao to Wan'an Hall, the old lady was pruning the flower arrangement. Hearing that the maid was coming to Xu Jiayi, the old lady paused with her hand holding the scissors before continuing to prune the flower branches in her hand. After Xu Jiayi entered the door, the old lady only glanced at her and didn't speak, only snorted lightly and turned her back to Xu Jiayi.
Xu Jiayi knew that she had secretly left the house this time to worry her grandmother, so she lengthened her voice and said coquettishly like when she was a child, "Grandmother ......"
