004: Intentional matchmaking
Nalan Jinxiu then remembered that the two personal maids beside her were very loyal to their masters. It's a pity that it's not smooth enough, because he doesn't know how to be flexible, he naturally can't get Xu Jinsheng's like.
When the two girls heard the old lady ask this, their faces turned pale suddenly, and they were just waiting to be sent to the Huanyi room to do some rough work, but they heard their own girl say lightly: "They are very good, they are all for me, I misunderstood them before." ”
"Is that really the case?" asked Old Madam Ji with some suspicion.
Nalan Jinxiu flattered and said, "Naturally, it's true, I dare to lie to you?"
Old Mrs. Ji nodded suspiciously, and glanced at Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan, who had not expressed their position for a long time. The two of them were still awkward in their hearts, but they didn't dare to dismiss Nalan Jinxiu on their faces, so they had to politely return the salute.
But she was still muttering in her heart, she was frightened out of her mind, and she was willing to salute them so kindly? Is she pretending to be reconciled again, but what conspiracy is actually brewing? The two of them looked at their grandmother sternly after thinking about it, and could only reluctantly apologize to her.
Nalan Jinxiu wanted to say that it was not in the way, but Xu Jinsheng was too stubborn, but he was afraid that they would think they were too abnormal, so he nodded sheepishly, and accepted their apology.
Seeing that she was so well-behaved today, Mrs. Ji loved her even more, and seeing that she was far away from herself, she asked her to sit beside her and touched the top of her head lovingly.
"Jin'er has really grown up and become more and more sensible. ”
Xu Jinsheng's body is only thirteen years old, while Nalan Jinxiu is already nineteen years old. Especially after the ups and downs of the family, I have deeply realized the hot and cold state of the world, and my mood has long been indifferent and indifferent.
At this time, I really can't be the coquettish state of a little girl, but if I suddenly lose my closeness to Mrs. Ji, I'm afraid it will lead to even more speculation, so I thought about it sideways and said, "Grandmother, I smell the smell of cheese." ”
"Just know how to eat, this little nose is more turin than a dog's nose. Mrs. Ji pinched her delicate nose, and then instructed the maid to bring her the cheese.
Nalan Jinxiu is not a particularly smart person, and this cousin Ye makes her feel very stressed, and she doesn't understand where this feeling comes from, probably because this person's aura is too strong.
She was afraid that she would arouse his suspicion in everything she did and reveal her identity. If it is known that she is resurrecting her soul through a corpse, she must be killed as a demon rod. I simply don't look at them, I don't talk to them, I just bury my head in eating.
After all, she is still young, and she is a lawless and unruly person, and it is not normal to behave too decently. But then she found out, how can this cheese be so delicious? She has loved this since she was a child, and her mother has collected many cooks to make pastry cheese for her, but no one has made it to her taste.
Ji Hongye saw her eating there, and always felt that she seemed to be a little afraid of him? How could it be, she had always been a person who didn't know the height of the sky, and she didn't pay any attention to him, the eldest grandson, and she was so arrogant that people had to hate it.
At this time, she was petite, and the sandalwood chair that adults sat on seemed to be a little too big for her. Sitting there looks like a small ball, and because of his young age, he is still childish, and he looks a little fluffy, which is quite pleasant.
He is old, and his personality is calm and he doesn't like to talk much, he is not as lively as the fifth and sixth children, and he has no intention of talking to his grandmother at all, so he can really only sit here. Usually he would think about the new file, where the verdict was unfair, or where there might have been grievances.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. He once went to and from school with the children of the nobility in Taixue, and reviewed the books he had already read over and over again. Taoguang is obscure, diligent and diligent. He is the eldest son of the Ji family, and after being a businessman, although he has money to make ghosts grind, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the turbulent Jinling court, he still has to work several times more than others.
At this time, he didn't have the heart to think about what was worth pondering in today's file, because the cheese on the other side seemed to be delicious.
I saw Nalan Jinxiu sitting in a regular manner, and he was also very elegant when eating, and he was slow and methodical in his eyes, but in fact it was extremely fast, and a large bowl of crisp cheese quickly bottomed out.
Probably feeling a little unsatisfied, she gently pulled the sleeve of Mama Guo beside her, and pointed to the empty bowl. Mama Guo didn't understand what she meant, thinking that she had eaten well, so she asked the girl in the back to clean up the dishes.
She watched as her subordinates took the bowl, wanting to eat it but being embarrassed to ask for it again, and a pair of clear and smart eyes looked at Mama Guo. Mama Guo was confused by her, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what do you need to do with your orders?"
She bowed her head and said nothing, looking at her fleshy hands. If you want to say that this Xu Jinsheng is fat enough, a typical bone and flesh is abundant, and he will not become a fat man after growing up like this, so let's eat less! Nalan Jinxiu thought so, and shook his head against his will.
Mrs. Ji held back a smile and pointed to Mama Guo: "Do you still have some cheese?" ”
Only then did Mama Guo react and approached her: "Sister, you can't eat any more, the bowl of cheese you just ate was ordered by the slave maid to be served in a big bowl, and it is already the size of two people." ”
Ji Hongxuan is still young, and he can't hide his emotions the most, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard Mama Guo's words. As soon as he smiled, Nalan Jinxiu was a little panicked and looked up at him. He was not convinced, and glared back at her very obediently, and the two children stared at her with big eyes.
She turned her head angrily, and looked at Ji Hongye's eyes again, which were as calm as ever, but the corners of her lips slightly pursed revealed his smile. Really...... What's so funny? She can just eat some, and she can't be blamed, it's obviously Xu Jinsheng who is greedy.
"Alain, give her less serving. "Alain is Mama Guo's maiden name. Old Madam Ji looked at Nalan Jinxiu gently, and said, "Jin'er, now it's getting hotter and hotter day by day, you can't eat too much, lest the food accumulate into a fire and cause the heat." ”
In this way, no matter how tempting things are, Nalan Jinxiu can't eat it, she got down from the chair in a dignified manner, and saluted Mrs. Ji: "Grandmother, I can't eat anymore, I feel a little stretched at this time, and I want to go out for a walk." ”
"It's okay, go and eat less, Ye'er, you haven't been to the backyard for a few days, accompany Jin'er for a good turn. ”
Mrs. Ji obviously wanted to create a chance for the two of them to be alone, and Ji Hongye thought that she would take this opportunity to make it clear to Nalan Jinxiu, so that she would break off her thoughts that she shouldn't have. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Nalan Jinxiu shaking his head with a smile: "It's difficult for Cousin Ye to get a trip to the backyard, so it's better to accompany my grandmother, I'll take my maid with me, and I won't lose it." ”
Ji Hongye's expression was as calm as usual when he heard her words, and Mrs. Ji didn't say anything, but Ji Hongxuan frowned and muttered a few words in Ji Hongye's ear.
The distance was too far, Nalan Jinxiu couldn't hear what he said, only knew that it shouldn't be a good word, probably arranging her again.
