Chapter 672: Good errand
Jiang Yingxue returned to the small courtyard with a heavy heart, looked at the sleeping Chang Ning, and showed a happy smile, the burden on her body didn't seem to feel the weight.
Jiang Yingxue lay flat on the bed, remembered the scene by the lake again, and most of her sleepiness disappeared, so she got up and muttered: "If the Su family sisters and brothers are just here to arrest me, it seems that there are other ways, why do you want to stay in the house, wouldn't it be more troublesome?" ”
Jiang Yingxue was puzzled, sighed lightly, saw that the candle was about to burn out, and hurriedly closed her eyes, brewing sleep.
Su Pei held a wood carving in his mind, his eyes were tender and crying, as if he wanted to see the person he liked through the wood carving.
This kind of look Jiang Yingxue is too familiar, and it will appear when she is in love with someone.
Once she thought of this, Jiang Yingxue was completely sleepy, opened her starry eyes, and said in surprise: "It must be the person Su Pei admires who is in the hands of the Su family and is ordered by the Su family, since this is the case, it is better to separate the two sisters and brothers first." ”
Su Ming can only stay in the mansion now, but Su Pei is different, he is young and strong, and there are more reasons to send him.
In this way, even if Su Pei finds an opportunity to attack, he will have to think about it for some time, find out his whereabouts, and prepare in advance to be prepared.
Jiang Yingxue kept thinking about it, and gradually fell asleep, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
The sun had long been high and lit up the courtyard that the servants had cleaned, and it was a good day.
Jiang Yingxue's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, she snorted, turned over, and opened her eyes reluctantly.
Seeing the bright sunlight shining in through the window paper and sprinkled on the clean ground, Jiang Yingxue held her forehead, got up slowly, and asked, "What time is it, why didn't anyone wake me up?" ”
After a while, Baicao walked in with a basin of water, gently placed it on the table, and said, "Back to Madame, it's already too late, the slave tried to wake up, but Madame didn't respond." ”
Baicao twisted the towel, remembering that after a few pats, Jiang Yingxue was still asleep, and couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Yingxue took the wet towel, wiped her face, drove away the sleepiness, moved her body, and said regretfully: "It's because I thought too much yesterday, but I didn't expect that I would sleep so late that I can't even wake you up." ”
Jiang Yingxue stood up and washed quickly, she had always felt shallow before, but last night was unusual.
"Madam, it's Mrs. Liu, and they're here for yesterday's event." Furong trotted in, saw Jiang Yingxue putting down the small bowl, and said anxiously.
Jiang Yingxue wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, walked into the hall quickly, and said with a light smile: "Two sisters, it was Yingxue who didn't entertain well and made the sisters wait for a long time." ”
Seeing that the maid hurriedly changed the tea, Mrs. Liu shook her head, not angry, but looked behind Jiang Yingxue, and asked tentatively: "The pair of sisters and brothers yesterday, the Su family should be careful." ”
Recently, Jiang Yingxue's story has been spreading among the people, and many people are waiting to see her liveliness.
Mrs. Liu found out the matter clearly, so she brought Mrs. Shen with her, for fear that something would go wrong.
Jiang Yingxue sent someone to serve the pastries first, and asked the cook to make them according to the "Jiang's Recipe", and sat upright and said with a smile: "Sister, you might as well eat some pastries, I'll let Su Pei come over." ”
Mrs. Liu nodded, picked up a piece lightly, took a sip, her eyes instantly brightened, and she said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there are chefs with this kind of craft in Suzhou, sweet but not greasy, with a faint floral fragrance." ”
Picking up another piece as she spoke, Mrs. Shen saw that she was happy to eat, so she couldn't help but pick a piece and taste it.
Jiang Yingxue gestured casually, looked at the rose cake on the table, first made a flower sauce with good honey, and tried dozens of attempts on the pie crust before finding this recipe, which is sweet and soft, and leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth.
In particular, this rose was bought from a ship in the harbor, and it has a beauty effect, which is the favorite of noble ladies.
After Mrs. Shen found out, she cast a praising look, took a sip of tea, and asked, "You have to be careful with these Su family brothers and sisters, and transfer them elsewhere as soon as possible." ”
Knowing that the Su family siblings were going to rely on Jiang Yingxue, the two of them secretly felt that something was wrong, so they hurried over.
"I'm also irritated about where to send them, Su Ming is afraid that he can't leave because he is weak, and it's not convenient to see people today." Jiang Yingxue looked like she had a headache and shook her head.
Mrs. Liu wiped her fingers with a handkerchief with satisfaction, she liked it very much, smiled lovely, and said happily: "I have a good place to go here, it is the patrol officer in the city, in order to clean up the ruffians on the streets, there is a shortage of people." ”
A few ruffians who appeared in the sacrifice were locked up in prison, but after they were released, they became even worse, and since the old man with prestige refuted the rumors, he no longer spared the nonsense.
There were not enough government personnel, so an inspector appeared, who was not an official, but rich in silver.
Seeing that it attracted attention, Mrs. Liu made even more efforts, gestured and said: "Let the man leave first, and there is no reason to come back after sending it out, since I keep saying that it is for you, I will definitely be able to agree to this little thing." ”
Jiang Yingxue felt good, and there was nothing embarrassing, so she couldn't help but smile and nodded.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Pei coming over with a puzzled hesitation, saluted the three of them, and said respectfully: "I don't know what Madame commands?" ”
The attitude is respectful, and he looks like he is willing to serve, and there is no trace of last night.
Jiang Yingxue was very surprised, hid the vigilance in her eyes, signaled him not to be polite, and said gently: "I was in a hurry yesterday, I don't know what you will do, I am worried that I will give in if I send you down." ”
Mrs. Liu is willing to help herself, and the current errand is also good, and Su Pei is not easy to refuse anything.
Mrs. Liu changed her posture and looked at Su Pei casually, her eyes flashed with surprise, seeing that he was tall and mighty, with a straight nose, a pair of handsome eyes that were bright, and the strength of his arms could be seen in a coarse cloth shirt.
I heard that yesterday he knocked several people to the ground alone, with brute force, and now it is really the case.
Mrs. Liu retracted her gaze, nodded approvingly, and said in a deep voice: "It's competent, not bad." ”
Su Pei's eyes flashed with panic, he walked forward a few steps forward, and said respectfully: "Madam, the little one is willing to stay by Madame's side, even if he can contribute a little strength, he will be satisfied." ”
Su Pei lowered his head and stood straight, if he didn't look at the nervousness in his eyes, it was really sincere.
"Now is a good opportunity for you to repay Mrs. Liu, you go to be a patrol officer to find out the source of the rumors for Mrs., this is to repay the kindness." Mrs. Liu persuaded with a smile.
Su Pei's posture makes people have to be on guard, there is no other purpose, it is not familiar with it, it is better to send it away as soon as possible.
Jiang Yingxue nodded in agreement, holding her forehead, with a sad look, and said in a deep voice: "I have been affected by rumors before, if you can solve this problem for me, it will be really great." ”
