Xin Yi swept the lady of the same acquaintance and took a sip of tea slowly.

When she was young, although she didn't know much about the rules of the world, she was also a rule person, a female gentleman who didn't use her words.

After all, the only one who has been beaten is the fourth girl of the Gao family.

At that time, she instigated the seventh princess to the fifth brother in the palace, and she heard it.

Later, she didn't pay attention to the specific follow-up, after all, the entire Gao family had already declined after the evil deeds of the national teacher were exposed.

The senior girl was bitter in her heart, and said in her heart, this is the woman Xiao Wulang has a crush on, and she is not in a proper position everywhere, but Xiao Wulang is dead set on her, and takes her with him wherever she goes.

Xin Yi is also very depressed, it is rare that she is willing to attend a banquet, but she meets such an old person. ’

Although it is winter now, it is a cold and snowy land, but Mrs. Huang's Zhuangzi is very exquisite.

The "Red Plum Banquet" lives up to its name, and there is a large area of red plum outside the window.

She didn't want to entangle with the lady of the same acquaintance, so she stood up, looked at the window, made another detour, turned to the door, and wanted to appreciate the red plum, maybe she could ask Mrs. Huang for two branches to go back and insert the plum vase.

She walked with a real fragrance in the Merlin, which had a large pond with withered yellow lotus and a few thick pieces of ice floating on the water.

To Xinyi, the four seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each season has its own unique beauty.

"It's really fragrant, we cut off this red plum and brought it back to the fifth brother, and I don't know how the fifth brother has been doing with Rusi in the past two days."

She reached out to touch the red plum branch, and suddenly felt someone coming behind her, she turned her head, and suddenly she felt her hair explode, and the person rushed straight towards her.

didn't have time to take a closer look at who it was, Xin Yi dodged, and Zhenxiang reached out and grabbed and pushed.

"Ahh Screams rang out.

"Plop!" Someone fell overboard.

This voice aroused the alarm of the servant on the side, and when he came out to look, he hurriedly shouted, "Someone has fallen into the water." ”

The water was bitterly cold in winter, and the servant woman brought by Madame Huang was well-trained and immediately went into the water to save people.

The person who wanted to push Xin Yi obviously didn't expect such a thing, fluttering in the water.

Xin Yi finally saw clearly the person rushing towards her, the fourth girl of the Gao family, and now the wife of the same acquaintance, Gao.

She really didn't expect that this Tongzhi lady had a grudge more than her, and actually wanted to secretly push her into the water!

It's really hard to learn!

Gao's eyes widened, and he wanted to take advantage of Xin Yi's pruning plum blossom branches to push her into the water and tell Xin Yi to suffer a little hard.

to avenge the destruction of the Gao family that day.

I didn't expect her to react so quickly, not only did she not go into the water, but she got into the water.

She was annoyed and angry, and realized that Xin Yi deliberately did evil, so she desperately grabbed the hand of the servant woman who rescued her and swam back to the lake, after all, in this winter, the lake water is cold, and her body will freeze for a while longer.

Xin Yi didn't take the Gao family to heart, not even the grasshopper after the autumn.

But the heads that can be sent to the door can't be collected without receiving them.

She didn't want Gao's life either, but it didn't prevent Gao's from suffering a little.

Xin Yi gave Zhenxiang a look, and Zhenxiang nodded imperceptibly.

Gao's desire to survive was too strong, and the mission was to catch the servant's hand, but he never thought that the water was too cold in winter, and the servant's feet were numb, and her body collapsed, pulling Gao's and sinking down.

Zhenxiang quickly lifted the servant woman up, the servant was too loyal, and when she came up, she grabbed Gao's shirt, but Gao's placket couldn't stand the force, and a large piece was immediately torn off.

At the same time, another servant woman who went into the water also sent Gao to the surface.

"Whoa!" With a sound, the rescued Gao gasped, never feeling that fresh air was so precious.

The ladies who were staying in the warm pavilion had already run out, and when they saw the situation in front of them, they shouted one after another.

"Mrs. Gao."

"Sister Gao."

Gao was drenched, and sat on the ground, 'cough cough cough', spitting out a large mouthful of water, his teeth rattling, and shivering.

Xin Yi stood on the side, her face was pale, as if she was frightened, holding a blooming red plum in her hand, anyway, she was a delicate and weak little woman, and she would not do anything else except eat and drink.

The ladies crowded over one after another and surrounded the Gao family who had been rescued ashore.

Only Li Zhukuai stood by Xin Yi's side, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Xin Yi shook his head weakly, "It's okay. ”

Mrs. Huang, as the host, hurriedly asked Gao to wrap up the futon, carried him to the room next to the warm pavilion, brought several charcoal basins, ordered someone to boil ginger soup, and asked the doctor to come over to check Gao's pulse.

"I'm really sorry, I invited you to come over, but I didn't make good arrangements, so Sister Gao was frightened."

Before she could finish speaking, Gao Shi, who drank a large bowl of ginger soup, exclaimed,

"Sister Huang doesn't need to apologize, it has nothing to do with you, someone pushed me into the water!"

The crowd around the bed was taken aback when they heard this.

Asked the lady she knew,

"Sister Gao, who pushed you into the water? How could there be such a vicious person? It's just too much. ”

"Oh my God, it's such a cold day, and you actually push people into the water...... It's horrible. ”

Someone answered with doubts, "What else is there to ask, there was a master and a servant standing on the shore just now, and Sister Gao said that she was pushed into the water, who else could it be?" ”

As he spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Xin Yi's body.

Li Zhukuai is a straightforward and fast-talking, and he opened his mouth and said,

"What do you say? How could Madame do such a thing? ”

"Is it impossible?" The lady asked coldly, "Miss Li doesn't know the inside story yet, so she packed the ticket for Mrs. Xiao, aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?" ”

Li Chu was quickly angry, turned his head and asked Xin Yi, "Madam, you said, you didn't push her, right?" ”

Xin Yi's face was pale, and he was a little afraid, "Yes, I didn't push her." ”

"That ......"

Xin Yi picked up the second half of the sentence,

"I did watch her fall overboard, though."

Such an admission was even more surprising to everyone than when they heard that it was she who pushed Gao into the water.

This...... Isn't it, don't you excuse yourself? Even if Xiao Yuanyou is the emperor's adopted son, he can't be so arrogant!

Not to mention that now Xiao Yuanyou has been assigned to the border, if he is really the emperor's favored adopted son, he can't be assigned.

The man who spoke had a mocking expression,

"This is not a self-confession, it really gives me and other border people more knowledge, this noble girl in the capital is so rude!"

Li Zhukuai was still standing on Xin Yi's side and said,

"Ladies, don't make any judgments, okay? Mrs. Fang Cai said 'look at the falling water,' but she didn't say that she pushed into the water. You didn't think of anything? ”

Gao sneered, "Miss Li, what do you mean?" If you want to bite back, I'll be clear, don't point to Sang and scold Huai! ”

"Also, Miss Li, your Li family can be half of the county's home, is it necessary to see the face of this county lady?"

Mrs. Li's face immediately changed, and she glared angrily,

"What do you mean, Mrs. Gao? Our lord is just a county magistrate, but he was in charge when the court did not send a county order, and our lord was the head of Lord Xiao. ”

"Mrs. Gao can't spew blood."

Li Zhuai made a grimace at the Gao family on the side, "I didn't mean that Sang scolded Huai, but on the matter, it was Mrs. Gao who was in such a hurry to bite indiscriminately, is it a weak heart!" ”

Gao sneered, "What is my heart weak? What do I have to be ill-intentioned, what, Xin Weiwei, do you still want to bully others? ”

"This is not a capital, there are people from your Xin family who are in charge for you, and the queen mother is in charge of you."

She didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she said Li Zhu, she sneered, "When it comes to bullying, isn't Mrs. Gao the best?" ”

"When Mrs. Gao came to Yan County, relying on her identity, except for Mrs. Prefect, who else let you put it in your eyes."

"It's going to be embarrassing to say something bullying!"

She looked at the pale Gao family, and immediately added, "Mrs. Gao wants to bully others, but can she afford it?" You can't slap your swollen face and become fat, and pretend that you have an identity. ”

Identity, Li Zhu quickly bit these two words very clearly, and Mrs. Gao showed an expression of wanting to eat people when she heard it.

The faces of the people around him also became delicate.

Li Zhukuai's words have a deep meaning, when the Gao family followed Chen Tongzhi to the border city at the beginning, he said that his grandmother was the emperor's nurse and the companion of the seventh princess, and she looked like she was on top.

Unexpectedly, he was stabbed open later, and after shrinking at home for a period of time, because Chen Tongzhi was very reused by Lord Huang, the Gao family also followed the scenery.

Now in the entire Yan County, except for Huang Zhifu, Chen Tongzhi is the largest, and no one else mentions this stubble.

Who knows, Li Zhukuai is so faceless, and he will step on it.

Gao was furious, "Miss Li! You...... No wonder no one dares to ask you for you and can't get married. ”

Seeing that it was not good, Mrs. Huang, as the master, hurriedly came out to play a round, not to mention that she wanted to look at Miss Li today, and when she was said like this, it seemed that her vision was not good.

"Everybody don't say a word."

Li Zhukuai didn't stop, "Aunt Huang, if it was in the past, looking at your face, no matter what Mrs. Gao said, I was a junior, and I would let it go, but today, it is related to the innocence of us and the county parents, so we can't let it." Mother, you said yes. ”

Mrs. Lee, "......"

She wanted to say no!

But what can she say? No! could only stiffen and nodded, "Indeed, Mrs. Gao, it's better to make the words clear, you said that Mrs. Xiao pushed you into the water, do you dare to swear?" ”

Gao sneered, "I said yes, you suspect me of lying?" ”

Li Zhuai also wanted to say that he was stopped by Mrs. Li.

Although the people in the border city are not ashamed of the woman's appearance, who doesn't want to marry a gentle and virtuous girl?

Yes, her daughters are already eighteen years old, and they haven't decided on their family affairs yet, so finally Mrs. Huang has an idea, but something like this happened today.

Mrs. Li already wants to cry without tears, but even if the Li family can be the master of half of the county, shouldn't Xiao Yuanyou still be respected on that face?

When you get to the female dependents, you have to focus on Mrs. Xiao.

Today is really going to make Mrs. Xiao lose face here, and I don't know how to complain when I go back.

She is not a simple-minded daughter, and now clearing the stigma of Mrs. Xiao is the most important thing.

Mrs. Li turned her head to look at Xin Yi, who was pale and weak, and asked,

"Madam, you just said that you watched her fall into the water, which means that you were there at the time, right?"

Xin Yi nodded cooperatively, and he still looked palpitating.

Mrs. Li asked again, "So, how did you watch her fall overboard?" ”

Xin Yi did not hesitate, "At that time, I was discussing with the maid to cut a branch of red plum down, and when the time came, I told Mrs. Huang to bring it back and insert the bottle, and this Mrs. Gao rushed over from not far away, wanting to knock me into the water, fortunately, my maid pulled it in time, otherwise I would have fallen into the water with Mrs. Gao......"

"I'm so scared......"

Crowd, "......"

What a ghost who believes in you!

Li Zhu stepped forward immediately, smug, "Mrs. Gao, you heard it, you pushed people first, and it turned out that stealing chickens and rice would not be successful!" ”

Her 'ah' tone dragged the old elder, and her face was sarcastic. ”

Gao Shi would not admit what he had done, and suddenly said,

"She said yes, yes? Why, can't I be trusted for what I say?"

Li Zhukuai put his hands around his chest,

"Of course." She pointed at Xin Yi, "Mrs. Xiao and her maid are still holding red plum blossom branches in their hands, isn't it possible that they are so fast?" pushed someone, and by the way, did you break a red plum? ”

Gao Shi froze for a moment, covered himself tightly with the quilt, and blushed, "Maybe she broke it when she pushed me down?" ”

Li Zhukuai shook his head,

"Everyone can take a look, the red plum in Mrs. Xiao's hand is not folded, but the incision is flat, and it is cut with scissors."

The onlookers suddenly showed a strange expression, some were stunned, some wanted to laugh and endured, in short, their faces were distorted.

And the person who spoke for Gao just now quietly hid behind the quail and pretended to be quail.

Lying and being caught red-handed is a matter of character.

Even if you are familiar with the Gao family, it is not worth losing your reputation.

Suddenly, Gao felt that he was isolated and helpless, and he was so angry that he screamed, and most of his arrogance was immediately extinguished, as if he was angry.

"Why don't you believe me? It's really her. It really is. ”

Xin Yi's face was ugly, and he looked at Gao's shaky, "Mrs. Gao, I don't know what I offended you about, so that you are so desperate to chase after me, regardless of your identity, you have to wronged me, making me ugly." ”

"Madam, you can rest assured, I really won't tell others that you are prying other noble girls on my husband, so as to break up my marriage with my husband."

Gao's mouth suddenly opened wide, "You...... You...... Where did I do something to break up......"

She seemed a little frightened, and emphasized again, "You're talking nonsense. ”

Xin Yi seemed to laugh angrily,

"I don't talk nonsense, you know best in your heart, we originally met at this border, and it was fate in the end."

"But Madame doesn't think so, all the ladies are here today, Madam Gao simply said it clearly, what do you mean?"

I told others this plainly, but don't think about using them as a raft.

Gao's face was immediately unsightly, red and dripping blood, and his lips trembled, but he couldn't refute a word.

After eating the ginger soup, Lang Zhong drank all the medicines prescribed by Lang Zhong, and Gao's sneezes one after another, looking very pitiful.

No matter how pitiful she is, she is not as pitiful as Xin Yi looks.

Xin Yi smiled helplessly, and cried, hey, why is it so indisputable? Why do you still do bad things?

It's been a long time since she pretended to be weak, this Gao has probably forgotten what she used to be, right?

There was such an accident, and everyone didn't have much of the heart to talk and play.

Pack up and go back to the house, even for dinner.

Mrs. Huang never expected such a thing to happen, so she hurriedly settled the guests, and then cleaned up a little by herself, and went to rest.

However, before resting, she still went to see Xin Yi once and sincerely apologized.

Xin Yi's face was reasonable,

"Madame is polite, this has nothing to do with you, I used to be a little unhappy with that lady in the capital, which annoyed Mrs. Tongzhi."

"Hey, I was also frightened, so I thought about dodging, but I didn't expect her to jump into the river instead."

"This time I will take it as a lesson, and in the future, I will not stand by the river, the pond, or anything else."

Mrs. Huang's heart was rolling, and when she said it, it was Mrs. Tongzhi who took the lesson.

After today, she has lost face.

Since I came here to apologize, naturally how good I can say it, how good it is, in short, Mrs. Huang's nice words don't slip out like money.

Xin Yi said to Mrs. Huang, "Madam, I am young and have just come to Hexian, so I am shy and bold, and I will follow you to take the last seat, as long as all the ladies take me to increase my knowledge, don't laugh at me." ”

Mrs. Huang comforted her with kind words, "You are the queen's mother, the marriage is given by His Majesty, you have the edict given by His Majesty, and you are the mother of the Duke of Yasukuni, how noble, and your identity has nothing to do with your age." ”

Xin Yi was comforted and moved by his face, "If there is a lady, I will drink tea slowly in the house with peace of mind." ”

Mrs. Huang said a bunch of good things again, and then she said goodbye and left.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one around, it is really fragrant,

"I didn't expect this senior girl to be like a child."

"It's really shallow, just look into it."

Xin Yi grinned,

"Today, the Gao family has lost a lot of face, and that Li Zhukuai is really interesting."

Obviously, she was disgusted with her before, but now she continues to defend her and clear her of the charge of pushing people into the water.

Zhenxiang was also confused, "This girl didn't expect to be quite beautiful as a daughter, but unfortunately she didn't get married." ”

Xin Yi smiled, it is actually nothing to marry someone or not, just like herself, she has never thought about marrying the fifth brother before.

She feels that if two people want to get married and live together, they must be happy with each other, not marrying for the sake of marrying, just like her and her fifth brother.

Their children are also born in this world because of sincere and beautiful affection, not for the entanglement of interests or the continuation of incense.

After Mrs. Huang left from Xinyi's side, when she went to her yard, she saw Li Xiancheng's wife standing at the intersection waiting for her.

The two didn't say anything, and entered the courtyard one after the other.

"Ma'am, how are things going on?" Mrs. Lee asked.

Mrs. Huang looked tired and nodded, "The Gao family has already settled, and Xiao Wulang's wife didn't say anything." It's reasonable. ”

Mrs. Li was a little ashamed, "Madam, she ...... Hong'er today."

"Hey, it's all my fault that I can't teach my children......"

Mrs. Huang waved her hand, "Don't talk about you, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, that Gao family, in the end, is a descendant who can't be on the stage." ”

"Speaking of which, it wasn't born with mud legs, why is it so ......?"

Mrs. Li said, "When the Gao family first came, we didn't know the situation, but it was not that she was fooled for a long time, or that Mrs. Madame's sister came, which pierced her true face." ”

Mrs. Huang motioned for the maid to go down, and when there were only her and Mrs. Li in the house, she asked,

"Look, today's Gao family fell into the water, is it the hand of Xin Qidong?"

Mrs. Li thought for a while, "It shouldn't be possible, although Hong'er said that she was straighter, she would have solved the case if she solved the case, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to arrest it at the beginning, what she said was the one who showed that the Gao family did it, and Mrs. Xiao was just a victim." ”

Mrs. Huang said, "That Gao did fall into the water under her nose, since her handmaid knows kung fu, can't she catch it?" ”

Mrs. Li said again, "Speaking of which, the Gao family is still too vicious, thinking about hitting Mrs. Xiao into the water, who would have thought that just looking at Hongmei would kill him?" ”

That Mrs. Xiao looks really weak and capable, if she has such ability, she will not follow her belittled husband to such a bitter cold place.

Is it hard to stay in the capital? These are natives of Yanjun, with rough skin and thick flesh, and they are used to the wind and snow here.

Mrs. Huang smiled, "You, like Hong'er, are very optimistic about that Mrs. Xiao?" ”

It seems that every sentence is excruciating Xin Yi.

Mrs. Li felt a little bitter in her heart, this is not because her daughter supports her wife who is on the peak, if she doesn't make up for her daughter, how can she do it?

She thought for a moment, "It's not very good, but it's just that she is so delicate and reasonable, and it's always better than a fool like Gao." ”

Mrs. Huang said meaningfully,

"Gao is stupid, but stupid people can handle it well, smart people, but they have their own ideas, but they can't eat in a pot."

Mrs. Lee's heart sank.

Mrs. Huang said, "This Xiao family is really not simple, and the arrogant and domineering lady who was rumored at the beginning is not the same at all. ”

Mrs. Li nodded in response.

However, she didn't expect Mrs. Li to respond, but she forgot that she still had a good daughter.

Li Zhu was not angry with Gao, and took advantage of the absence of people to carefully check the scene, and asked several maids, all of whom pointed to Gao, that is, Gao wanted to push Xinyi into the water, but he sent himself into the water.

At the same time, she even found out that this Beizhuang actually dropped a handkerchief handed over by her, that is, an object of Lord Wei's daughter.

And this object was a gift she gave to the handkerchief when she was about to leave after Master Wei got the order.
