Chapter 119
After Cuiyu went home, she told Ningxia Qing everything she had said to Master Liu.
Ning Xia Qingzheng listened intently, and suddenly heard Ai Lu's very cold greeting from outside the house: "On this cold day, my cousin doesn't go into the house, she is standing here, what should I do if I get cold?" ”
Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu were silent at the same time, only to hear Du Qiutong's voice from outside: "I...... Didn't I just come here, I ...... I'm about to go in......"
Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu glanced at each other, and the master and servant understood it, and their eyes were full of displeasure.
Ning Xia Qing gestured slightly, Cuiyu nodded, and then walked to the door and opened the door, and saw Du Qiutong, who had a somewhat panicked expression, standing outside.
Cuiyu invited Du Qiutong to come in, and Ai Lu, who came to deliver the medicine, followed behind and also came in.
The atmosphere at this time was very embarrassing, Du Qiutong bit his lip, his expression was a little scornful, and he had nothing to say: "Is this...... What is Ai Lu sending? ”
"It's a big girl's medicine." Ai Lu replied coldly, then put the food box on the table and took the medicine bowl out of it.
"Cousin is sick? Is it serious? What's going on? Du Qiutong asked a few words very eagerly, then stretched out his hand to the food box, and said earnestly: "Ai Lu, you go down first, I will serve my cousin to take medicine." ”
Ai Lu didn't mean to be obedient at all, and said very indifferently: "Don't work for the cousin girl, it's my duty to serve the eldest girl to take medicine, so the cousin girl should sit down first." ”
Du Qiutong's hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly, but Ai Lu was polite and thoughtful, and Du Qiutong couldn't say anything, so he had to sit down curtly, holding Ning Ningqing's hand and saying, "Cousin, are you seriously ill?" When was this? ”
Ning Xia Qing coughed slightly, and in order to caress his chest, he naturally withdrew his hand from Du Qiutong, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm fine, I just felt a cold." ”
Du Qiutong reached out to touch Ning Ningqing's forehead again, and his tone sounded very anxious: "My forehead is still hot, how can it be okay?" In the summer, my cousin was seriously ill, with a high fever for several days, and it was only a few months later, why did my cousin get sick again? ”
"It's inevitable that the seasons will change and you will get the wind chill." Ningxia Qing was too lazy to listen to Du Qiutong continue to talk nonsense like this, so he casually blocked a sentence, then turned his head and instructed Ai Lu: "You go and make some tea for my cousin, take the silver needle tea I bought a few days ago, and add some pine needles." ”
"Yes." Ai Lu answered.
Ning Xia Qing said again: "Take some more pine leaf refreshments that Cuiyu bought the day before yesterday and give it to my cousin." ”
"Yes." Ai Lu nodded, and then withdrew. And Ning Ningqing told Ai Lu that he had ordered this big circle, which also completely reversed Du Qiutong's words just now.
Ningxia Qing opened his mouth and Du Qiutong asked, "Why did you come here today?" ”
Du Qiutong replied affectionately: "I haven't been here for so long, I really miss my aunt and cousin, so I came to see you." ”
While serving Ningxia Qing to drink medicine, Cuiyu asked in a loud voice, "My cousin has already gone to see my wife?" ”
Du Qiutong smiled and said, "Yes, naturally I went to see my aunt first." Suddenly stunned, realized something, and quickly added: "But...... Seeing that my aunt didn't have much energy, I thought not to disturb my aunt's rest, so I just said hello and then came out. So...... I didn't hear my aunt talk about my cousin's illness. ”
Cuiyu's face changed: "Mrs. has no energy? Could it be that my wife is not feeling well? ”
Du Qiutong kept touching his hair and said, "No, it should be because of my cousin's illness, so my aunt has no energy when she looks at it, and there should be nothing to do......"
The round lie is fast enough, Ning Xia Qing thought to herself, couldn't help but smile faintly, looked at Du Qiutong who was constantly touching her hair, and saw Du Qiutong's snow-white fingers sliding between the long black hair, the hair color was bright and oily, and it seemed that Du Qiutong had been very moisturized recently.
After a few more glances, I saw Du Qiutong's pitch-black hair coiled into a bun, the jade hairpin was loose on the top of his head, and there was also a golden step, and the long beads trembled and hung down, swaying between the temples.
Not only is it worn on the head, but Du Qiutong is also wearing more and more luxurious, wearing a white makeup satin long skirt, embroidered with crimson patterns on the skirt, and holding a long cigarette Luo purple light silk on his arm, tied to the thin waist with a purple jadeite brocade belt. Needless to say, it was sent by Tan Wenshi from top to bottom.
Tan Wenshi has always been generous to women. Tan Wenshi once said that he prefers women who want silver to women who want true affection, because women who want silver make people feel at ease, but women who want feelings will only cause trouble to men.
Ning Xia Qing looked at Du Qiutong and thought that Du Qiutong could be regarded as seeking benevolence and benevolence, since Du Qiutong loved vanity so much, he should be able to get his wish now.
Ning Xia Qing said with a smile: "Didn't you say it before, since you are going to leave the cabinet, don't run around anymore." Besides, it's getting colder and colder now, so why did you come here? ”
Du Qiutong smiled gently and said, "It's because it's cold, that's why I'm coming." ”
Du Qiutong took a burden from the hand of the maid beside him, put the burden on the table and unfolded it, took out a few things from it, and introduced them one by one: "Auntie is not in good health, winter is coming, and it is easy to catch a cold." I made my aunt a pair of thick socks, with a layer of cotton on the inside and a layer of velvet on the outside, which were both close and warm, and embroidered with orchids on the sides. ”
Du Qiutong said very intimately: "There is also this pair of knee pads, which is for the old lady." The elderly are prone to joint diseases, and they usually hear the old lady say that their knees hurt. So I made knee pads for the old lady, three layers of velvet outer leather, and I sewed the corners several times, but they were strong, so that the old lady could wear them normally, so as not to blow cold wind on her knees. ”
Du Qiutong said with a smile: "These cotton shoes are for Zi'er." I made a pair for Zi'er last year, but I thought that the child's feet were getting bigger and bigger year by year, and last year's shoes were probably no longer able to wear, so I made a new pair. Zi'er has also reached the age of beauty, so I specially picked a blue satin for Zi'er to cut the upper, she must like it! ”
Du Qiutong finally took out a pair of gloves and said softly: "This is for my cousin, my cousin is now taking care of the shop, so she has to fiddle with the abacus, and her hands are often exposed." So I made my cousin a pair of gloves with open fingers, so as not to delay my cousin's accounting, and to prevent my cousin's hands from getting cold. I also embroidered peony flowers, does my cousin like it? ”
Ningxia Qing lowered his head and looked at it, the peony was lifelike, and Du Qiutong's hand was as clever as ever. Ning Xia Qing smiled slightly and said: "In the end, you are the most careful, I see the old ladies and them every day, and I can't think of preparing this for them, but you stay in the Du family, but you can think of preparing these personal items for them and me." ”
Du Qiutong said tactfully: "I'm just idle and have nothing to do." My cousin is different, my cousin is busy every day, so naturally she can't take care of such trivial matters. ”
Ning Xia Qing said lightly: "When I didn't take over the business before, I never remembered these things. In the final analysis, in fact, I am not as careful as you, and I don't know how to care about people. This is Ning Ningqing's true words, Ningxia Qing knows that he is indeed inferior to Du Qiutong in this kind of thing.
In the years that Du Qiutong lived in the Ning family, he made this kind of thing for these people in the Ning family every winter. The old lady is old, her eyes are not good at seeing the needle and thread clearly, Cao's back is sore and she can't bow her head and bend over for a long time, and Ningxia Qing is really clumsy and has no chance with female celebrities, so in the previous years, Du Qiutong has been working for them.
Du Qiutong knows how to be considerate, and this kind of subtle kung fu is the most touching to people's hearts, although it is not as good as gold, silver and jade, but the meticulous thinking is often touching. If it weren't for this, Ningxia Qing would not have connived at Du Qiutong so much in his previous life knowing that Du Qiutong was not a good person.
Ningxia Qingmo was holding the gloves embroidered with peony flowers, and he was concerned, and suddenly heard Du Qiutong say again: "I originally thought that when I was in the spring, I would make a hat for my cousin." In the spring, the wind and sand are big, and there are many catkins, and my cousin is running around all day, and there is a hat to cover his face, so that the catkins float into his lungs......"
Ning Xia Qing lowered his eyes, put the gloves on the table, and listened to Du Qiutong say: "...... It's just a pity, alas, I'm afraid I don't have time to make a hat. ”
"What's wrong?" Ning Xia Qing asked: "Aren't you out of the cabinet in the summer?" Was there anything else going on before? ”
"It's nothing...... Du Qiutong lowered his head, blushed with shame, and said in a very small voice: "It's just, Tan Ye said that he wanted to carry me through the door in advance......" Speaking of this, the blush on Du Qiutong's face was extremely bright, his eyes were shining with gentle light, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Ning Xia Qing was slightly stunned, and then asked with a smile: "What did Tan Ye say?" ”
Du Qiutong lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Hmm." My brother called me over, saying that Tan Ye wanted to see me. Then Tan Ye told me that he wanted to let me in next spring. ”
Ning Xia Qing immediately understood, and couldn't help but sigh a few words for Tan Wenshi's thoughts.
Tan Wenshi really didn't change his style, and there was only one reason why he carried Du Qiutong into the door in advance, and that was to check and balance Xue Qianqian.
It is estimated that Tan Wenshi's patience with Xue Qianqian is almost at the limit, so Tan Wenshi wants Du Qiutong to pass the door early, let Xue Qianqian's jealousy vent on Du Qiutong's body, let Du Qiutong bring a sense of crisis to Xue Qianqian, and use Du Qiutong to kill Xue Qianqian's sharp energy, so that Tan Wenshi will be much easier.
This is Tan Wenshi's attitude towards women. But does Du Qiutong know the truth?
Ning Ningqing looked at Du Qiutong's blushing face, and saw that Du Qiutong's whole body exuded a gentle and luscious atmosphere, and his face was full of anticipation.
Ning Xia Qing glanced at him, and his heart was as cold as iron.
Ning Ningqing asked Du Qiutong a few more words, asked some trivial things about leaving the cabinet in advance and didn't have time to prepare the dowry, asked if he needed help from the Ning family, and then sent Du Qiutong away on the grounds that he wanted to rest and recuperate.
As soon as Du Qiutong left, Ningxia Qing looked at the table full of embroideries brought by Du Qiutong, his eyes sank, and he glanced at Cuiyu,
Signaling slightly, Jade nodded, and then went out.
Cuiyu came back after a while, and said, "I asked Sister Lan Ying, and the cousin did go to the wife first, and before she could say a few words, the lady said that the girl was sick, and the cousin said that she wanted to come to see the girl, and then she came out of the wife." ”
Ning Xia Qing nodded, and Cuiyu said again: "I asked Lan Ying's sister when the cousin girl came out, if you count it, what we say, the cousin should have heard it." ”
Ning Xia Qing nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's the worst case." ”
Cuiyu pouted and said, "If it weren't for Ai Lu to deliver the medicine today, we really wouldn't have found out that my cousin was eavesdropping." It seems that we have added a few more maids to the house, otherwise we really can't prevent people with hearts. ”
"It's really unstoppable." Ning Xia Qing nodded, sighed and said, "She heard everything, it seems that there are some things that have to be planned quickly." At this, she couldn't help but cough a few times.
Cuiyu hurriedly persuaded her to recuperate first, but she had no intention of lying down and resting. In this situation, there is no time for her to recover.
Du Qiutong knows, which means that Tan Wenshi knows. Tan Wenshi must understand her plans, and he will definitely do his best to sabotage her plans.
The easiest way to sabotage her plan is to take advantage of Master Liu's temper. I just heard what Cuiyu said, Master Liu is a very arrogant person, if Tan Wenshi takes advantage of Master Liu's temper to make Master Liu feel that he is being used by profiteers, Master Liu will definitely be furious and want to cut off the contact with Ningxia Qing.
If she could sabotage her plan, she could not only suppress her, but also suppress the second master Ning who produced "complete merits", how could Tan Wenshi let go of this opportunity? If Tan Wenshi really sabotaged this plan, the "Merit Consummation" might be cut off like this, and she and Ning Er's hope would be gone!
Because of Du Qiutong's eavesdropping, Ning Ningqing's situation suddenly became very critical, and she had to ......
When she regained consciousness, she opened her eyes and saw that it was dark outside.
She suddenly sat up from the bed, and screamed out "ah" in fright to the jade guarding the bed.
"Girl, you...... Are you awake...... Cuiyu came up with palpitations, wiped her sweat for Ning Ningqing, and asked softly: "Girl, are you okay...... How's the rest? ”
"Am I asleep?" Ning Xia Qing asked softly with a hoarse voice.
Jade nodded and replied, "Yes." The girl was thinking about things, but she fell asleep on the table, so I asked Ai Lu to help me carry the girl to the bed. ”
Ning Xia Qing patted his groggy head, and said with some annoyance: "Why did I fall asleep......
Cuiyu said gently: "The girl also said that the girl is too tired every day, so she falls asleep unconsciously." And the medicine has some calming effect, didn't the girl just take the medicine not long before she fell asleep? ”
"At this time, sleep is really a delay!" Ning Ningqing blamed himself to the extreme, and suddenly got up from the bed with the next sentence, but because he was too anxious, he almost fell because he was in a hurry, but fortunately Cuiyu helped him not to sit on the ground.
"Girl......" Cuiyu saw that Ningxia Qing was really anxious, and hurriedly comforted: "Girl, don't worry, you ...... You sit down for a while and then get up......"
Ning Ningqing's eyes widened, his heart was full of the little things he thought about before he fell asleep, and he was very anxious, and asked directly: "What about the shopkeeper Dong?" Still in the store? ”
Cuiyu shook her head: "The shop has just closed, and the shopkeeper Dong has gone home." He was stunned for a moment and said, "What if...... If the girl is really in a hurry, let Ah Zheng go and call the shopkeeper Dong back......"
"Forget it first." Ning Xia Qing shook his head, paused and said, "You call Ah Zheng over, I want to see him." ”
