Chapter 41: Negotiation (Part II)
With the sound of hooves, a carriage appeared in front of a small courtyard next to the Daxing Palace. The carriage is completely Western-style, with doors on both sides, the black paint is new and shiny, the wheels, window frames, and roof are all precious teak, and the four wheels are all rubber-tyred steel spokes that are rare in Jiangning City, and the whole carriage is kept spotlessly. Pulling the cart were four white ponies with neatly trimmed manes and harnesses all of fine calf skin. The four dwarf white ponies are quite cute, and it looks a little funny to pull the carriage that can seat five or six people. These dwarf ponies can be bought for eight hundred pounds a piece in England, and it doesn't take much to pull such a big wagon, but it just looks like a show.
Spend more than 3,000 pounds, equivalent to Guan Pingyin, almost 20,000 taels to put on this pomp, in the entire Jiangning City, except for Li Xuan and Miss Li, who else can there be!
Of course, Li Xuan can't use the Praetorian Guard's pro-military camp to serve her on the road, Xu Yifan's attitude towards her pomp and circumstance has always been that you use your own money, it doesn't matter, don't touch the public things at all - to be honest, if Xu Yifan is really busy, using his daughter-in-law's money to enjoy the top [***] life of this era is also a great temptation for him who used to be a small white-collar worker with waste wood.
Gong Wei around this carriage, all the messengers wearing uniforms, how can there be more than 20 people, with their mother and the little maid sitting in the Oriental car that has only been passed into Jiangning City not long ago, holding all kinds of boxes in their hands, which are all things that Miss Li Xuan wants to use at any time, this group of warblers Yanyan followed behind the car, attracting a lot of attention from idle people on the road, but looking at the small Canglong flag in front of the carriage, plus more than a dozen officials of the strong class of Jiangning Mansion in the outer circle, I knew who the owner of the car was, but no one dared to follow over to watch.
Li Xuan is absolutely not allowed to use the pro-military camp of the Praetorian Guard, but Xu Yifan does not have the hypocrisy of not having the right to use, Li Xuan likes to run around, and the safety of girls must always be taken into account, he Xu Yifan has a lot of enemies! He himself is not afraid of anything, there are dozens of Goshha guards who come and go, and it would be too much if his daughter-in-law was injured a little. In the Zhuang class of the Bai Da Governor of Jiangning Mansion, there are always more than a dozen errand officers on standby outside the Governor's Office, and they will clear the scene on the periphery when Li Xuan takes Luo Shi Rhododendron out - in this era, as a superior, even if you want to mingle with the common people, the common people still don't accept your affection!
More than a dozen officials stood in the outer circle, looking at such a huge pomp, Li Xuan has gone out a lot of times, but it is rare to put on such a score! This kind of wealth, a little closer can smoke people's heads. Watching Li Xuan's carriage go straight to a small courtyard next to Daxing Palace, these servants were shouting in their hearts, it is going to be bad, it is going to be bad!
The local officials are all ghosts in the ground, and there is nothing they don't know about the ground in Jiangning. Xiuning often visits Xu Yifan and other big gossip alone, how can they not know? In Jiangning City, it is rumored that this flag man has everything behind his back. Bai Siwen also secretly took care of the officials to take care of the small courtyard where Xiuning lived. Looking at this posture, isn't it the lady of the handsome main house who has come here to copy the handsome's outer house? What are they doing to help that guy? Or just pretend not to see it? If it is a wife of the main house, a handsome lady of the outer house who has recently favored something to make a fuss, they are caught in it, and this hanging down is indispensable no matter what!
The vigilante who was awake had already flown to inform Bai Siwen. This kind of thing is a headache for Shangguan, they have narrow shoulders and can't afford it.
In the eyes of the officials who were not embarrassed or embarrassed, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by the maid, and a pair of little girls like flowers and jade came out first, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the shoulders of the white fox Qiu were reflected with a small blushing face. They lowered the steps of the carriage and came down to wait. Then I saw a slender figure with chestnut hair coming out of the carriage. Far away, the lively idlers all let out a low sound of praise.
Under the winter of Jiangning, Li Xuan's countenance of the country and the city simply made this gray winter day bright! The two Nan Xin Ai Nan Ying loves the little girl who has been serving her for so long, and they have never seen the young lady look forward to Shenfei so much! In the curtain of the car, two little heads were drilled out of the brain with a sigh, which were Xiuning and Du Juan.
I don't know if I heard an abnormal noise outside, the door of the courtyard that had always been locked squeaked open, and a local old mother leaned out half of her body, and the place where she came into view was Li Xuan's huge pomp! The old lady who listened to the errand outside was densely packed, and they all stared at her. As soon as Xiuning's legs were weak, the emperor screamed. Then he threw the door and ran inside, Jiang Ning Tubai shouted loudly: "Miss, Miss, there is a team outside!" Block the door so that the rats can't get out, Miss, come and see it! β
Seeing the old mother's panicked appearance, Li Xuan smiled smugly and raised her chin: "Go!" Let's go in and see what kind of talent this sister is! β
She didn't want Nan Xin to love Nan Ying, so she got out of the carriage and swayed into the small courtyard under the arch guard of the North Korean twins. The cuckoo jumped out of the car and followed closely. Luo Shi dragged his long legs, whether to follow or not, and followed behind dejectedly, his little face was full of nervousness.
Outside, the officials of the strong class sighed in their hearts: "It's over, it's over, it's in!" This outer house is going to be smashed! β
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Li Xuan entered the courtyard in high spirits, and saw the curtain in the middle hall lifted, and two little girls came out. It is Xiuning's pair of pearl jade. It's just that at this time, these two little girls didn't have any smiles on their faces, but just looked at them nervously with little faces. Nan Xin loves Nan Ying Ai today and looks at the main master, looking at each other, the whole body is full of energy, and he can't weaken his momentum at this time!
Li Xuan and them have a relationship in Yanjing City, this pair of baby girls are really loved by everyone, needless to say, they gave a precious diamond headdress, and they talked to Xu Yifan for a long time behind their backs. When I saw it again today, love came out of my eyes: "You are also there!" Why don't you come to me? β
Nan Xinai Nan Yingai suddenly collapsed her face and lowered her head to look for ants. Chen Luoshi also slapped his face with a smile: "Today is a real person!" The lord just remembered that this little sister took so long? The cuckoo rolled his eyes behind him and tugged hard at Li Xuan's clothes: "Miss Li............"
The little twin girls just looked at Li Xuan, and with a wave of their hands, it was the diamond headdress that Li Xuan gave them.
"Don't think that our young lady is a bully, just come over when there are too many people!"
"I'm not afraid of you! You don't want to see our young lady! β
"Your things, we don't want to be cold, let's pay you back!"
Nan Yingai is an older sister, much more powerful than her cowardly sister, and immediately raised her head and scolded back: "You are not worthy of using our young lady's things!" When we come back, we will also throw it into the pit and use it dirty for you! β
Nan Xinai hurriedly echoed: "That's it, it's ............"
The two pairs of twins were arguing there, Li Xuan then remembered, patted the cuckoo behind her back and held her hand, and said with a smile: "I'm not looking for you............ The one inside, what kind of ability is it to let a pair of little girls be outside? You know I'm reluctant to bully them, don't I? β
Xiuning's faint voice sounded in the room: "Feng'er Le'er, didn't I let you welcome guests?" Why did you get into a fight? Is this the principle of hospitality? β¦β¦β¦β¦ Miss Li, the maid is not sensible, don't be surprised, I will apologize to you. β
As soon as the words fell, Li Xuan saw the curtain lifted, and a girl with a light and elegant chrysanthemum walked out of it. The hair color is black, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the place is beautiful and elegant, as long as a man sees it, he is afraid that his heart will be soft. It's just that there is a faint layer of sorrow between the eyebrows, but it makes people feel twice as sorry for me.
Li Xuan has never read Yu Zhitong's "Jealousy", so I can't say that I feel pity, let alone the old slave. Besides, she is not a in the first place, and she is not in a big house. She is only nineteen, and she knows how beautiful she really is! It is precisely because of this self-confidence that she will come to the door, just to see how Xu Yifan will be interested in other women after she has her!
Although Xiuning is beautiful, when it comes to appearance, she is far inferior to her. Youthful, healthy and energetic, far inferior to Luo Shi and Du Juan, why did Xu Yifan become confused?
She glanced at Xiuning, who was standing there and saluting, raised her snow-white little face, and said in a big way: "That's it, what did I think it was............ If you do this, you can also charm Xu ...... Our lord, then he is too visionless............ Okay, okay, I'm seeing it, and it's not interesting............"
Xiuning lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Miss Li, I think you misunderstood, it's dry and cold outside, please sit inside, it just so happens that I still have some tribute Da Hong Robe here, drinking this in winter can replenish qi and blood............"
Li Xuan waved his hand: "No need! I'm good here, it's too small for me to go in. β
As she spoke, the little maid outside had already buzzed in, and when she saw Li Xuan standing there, she was busy spreading felt on the stone bench in the courtyard, and putting a layer of fur cushions on top. The white fungus hot soup in the thermos bottle had already been poured out and handed to the little sisters of the Nan family, for fear that Li Xuan would be thirsty. A few rough old mothers even held a big windshield tent in their hands, knowing that Li Xuan grew up in Nanyang, she was very afraid of the cold, and if she stood outside for a long time, she would have to open a tent behind both sides to block the wind for her.
Seeing that Li Xuan was wearing flowers around so many people, Feng Er Le'er snorted quietly and stood beside Xiuning.
Who hasn't seen the scene of wealth and wealth............ Can it still cover the inside of the Summer Palace? Our young lady is willing to be plain now............ Do you want to bully too many people? I can't say anything and let you touch a finger of Miss! It's just that there are too many of them............ As long as you bully Miss today and embarrass people, the two of us will also run to the person surnamed Xu to complain! It's great to let him take advantage of it, and I want to help the young lady out of this breath!
Feng Er Le'er glanced at each other, and the two sisters had a heart-to-heart connection, nodding secretly there.
Xiuning looked at Li Xuan's attitude, but smiled faintly. Li Xuan's beauty made her heart shake when she saw it. There are still such outstanding girls in the world! The body is full of self-confidence, and there is an indescribable sense of superiority, although Li Xuan is a girl, but she is very generous in her speech and behavior, and has a unique temperament that is well-educated and has seen the world. Xiuning has seen many noble girls in her eyes, with grand pomp and wealth, and there are also those who surpass Li Xuan, but none of those noble girls can compare to Li Xuan's reading and confident temperament!
This is the proud daughter of the sky who grew up in the blue sea and blue sky of the South Seas............ Only such a girl is worthy of a hero like Xu Yifan............ Thinking of this, Xiuning was surprised to find that she was actually a little sad!
She quickly cleaned up her mind, she knew very well why Li Xuan came to her. probably thought that Xu Yifan had something to do with her. Characters like Xu Yifan seem to be very good at playing treasure sometimes, but when it comes to big things, how can beauty shake him! Taking advantage of Xu Yifan's absence, this proud eldest lady came to ask for an explanation............ Li Xuan also knew that he couldn't make trouble for Xu Yifan when he was there, and this eldest lady actually knew how to advance and retreat............ What can she and Xu Yifan have! Even the wisdom she was proud of only felt 108,000 miles away from him in front of Xu Yifan. It's not a gap in IQ, it's a gap in knowledge. She Xiuning is rare to be convinced in her life, she really admires Xu Yifan, he is only in his twenties, how can this general trend in the world, the next hundred years, it seems to be a cloud of smoke in his palm!
Xu Yifan saw her several times, just to learn about the noble relatives of the banner people, inside and outside the palace, and the situation of the Yanjing banner people. This Xu Dashuai is preparing to enter the capital and solve the royal family of the flag clan in the capital in one fell swoop, and the rest is nothing more than gossip, and none of them are personal. Men and women are alone, this guy has always been so serious, and the most amazing thing is to show six big white teeth and smile, selling him white teeth!
Miss Li............ Xu Dashuai made an appointment to meet the little girl, also for official business. The little woman knows a little bit about some news inside and outside the capital, and the handsome woman doesn't think that the little woman is shallow, but if she asks one or two, she can't talk about anything else. Miss Tianxian is a fairy-like character, and she is even more beautiful, when she understands the joints, if the little woman has anything to offend, thank Miss Li here first............"
Xiuning gritted her thin white teeth and forcibly suppressed the inexplicable churning in her heart. Facing Li Xuan, I don't know why she didn't want to explain, so she just let Li Xuan make trouble. However, this childish thought was just a flash, and she herself was dumbfounded in her heart, she was now just guarding her old brother under the care of Xu Yifan, and she was no longer the first noble girl in Yanjing City, what did she have to do with Li Xuan!
She whispered there, and Li Xuan walked a few steps, just listening. The cuckoo stood behind her, and her heart was just bitter. It's not a big deal now! She knows Li Xuan's temper, she eats soft rather than hard, and she is proud to the core. Xu Yifan offended her in North Korea, and Li Xuan said that he would leave, causing Xu Yifan to chase dozens of miles on horseback. Basically, Li Xuan is a reasonable person, especially when others are soft, and the word "careful eye" can't be put on Miss Li's head. Xiuning is like this, Li Xuan has no reason to continue to care............ Then she cuckoo didn't become a wicked person for nothing!
She secretly glanced at Luo Shi beside her, and the long-legged tall girl was drinking a bowl of white fungus soup with a dazzled smile. can't see the trouble, I guess she is the happiest. Alas............ Silly girl, I really don't have a sense of crisis at all. If the master becomes the emperor, the title of this harem will be related to the rest of our lives!
After listening to Xiuning's explanation in a low voice, Li Xuan nodded like a little adult, and slowly walked to the stone bench with cushions and sat down. Everyone looked at her face, Li Xuan lowered her head and thought about it, then raised her head and smiled: "Yes, I don't blame you for this, Xu Yifan doesn't see you, and you won't enter the door of the Supervision Office!" I know that our lord is going to overthrow the flag man in the world, you are the flag man, of course I ask the lord to raise your noble hand to your flag man............ I heard that the lives of more than 30,000 bannermen in Jiangning Mancheng were also begged for by you? It's not wrong to see our master for this............"
She smiled and clapped her hands, and stood up again: "Okay! I don't blame you. You are also to blame the poor ............ In the future, you will go to the Governor's Office to see the master, and by the way, come to see me, and bring your little sisters to play with me. Don't worry, there are so many big things, after all, it is inconvenient to take care of you directly, your little sisters voted for my fate, find me more in the future, I will take care of you! β
Under Li Xuan's glamorous appearance, there is actually a thick nerve............ She herself felt that she asked Xiuning to make trouble this time, and in the end, she handled it very decently and spoke benevolently. His nose was almost up to the sky. Xu Yifan came back, she still planned to offer treasures, look, I didn't embarrass you. Talk and do things appropriately! I didn't feel jealous or play the temper of the eldest lady, and I also helped you round the scene and take care of your reputation!
Unexpectedly, listening to her generous and relieved words, Xiuning's face became whiter and whiter, biting her lower lip gently, and her eyes just looked at her feet quietly.
Poor ............ When Xu Yifan first emerged in the capital, he cautiously maneuvered among the various forces. At that time, I Xiuning could decide his life and death with a word!
Poor ............ Now I actually live in Jiangning, and I have to take care of you Miss Li. It's all for the sake of the little sisters next to me............ Poor ............ If it weren't for my brother, I would have gone to the Liangjiang Governor's Office all day long and told the truth of our banner people to the guy who only showed six white teeth and smirked? The world is so big, where can I go Xiuning? Even if I go out on a boat, it's just like that, I don't need your Miss Li family to pity me!
If someone else said something like this, Xiuning might just laugh. But when Li Xuan spoke like this, she couldn't accept it! It's enough for one's pride to be broken by one person, and he can't be trampled under the feet of a second person!
After Li Xuan said these words with a long face, he turned around with a smile and left. The chestnut hair dangled behind her back, bright like a dream, and reflected directly into Xiuning's heart.
It's okay that you Xu Yifan are now in control of the fate of our banner people, even your beautiful fiancΓ©e is going to bully me!
At this time, in Xiuning's heart, in addition to anger, there were grievances.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yes............ The little girl naturally wants to take refuge in Miss Li's care, no matter what, now you have the status of a big house............ But how did the little woman hear that Miss Li hadn't had a round room with the handsome yet? The handsome man said that he had never officially married a wife, and this title was just talking, and what happened in the future, I have to wait and see............"
Xiuning stood there with his face turned sideways, his tone was light, as if he was talking to himself.
Li Xuan turned around, and he froze there, motionless.
In the small courtyard, the scene freezes. Feng Er Le'er covered her mouth, and looked at her own young lady in disbelief!
Xiuning actually wants to do what he wants to do most now is to slap himself in the mouth, but he said as if he was uncontrollable: "A handsome and good match, in addition to being able to settle the house, it is also necessary to help him in the great cause." The little woman is not talented, and the central internal situation is like a palm view. The handsome welcomes the little woman through the door, and it can also calm the heart of the flag clan in the world. In this way, now, I'm afraid that the little girl is more suitable for this position than Miss Li, right? The little woman also knew that Miss Li's family had helped Da Shuai a lot, but at this time, what Da Shuai had to consider was not only the issue of money, but also the position of a concubine with the help of Miss Li's family............ Foolish, does Miss Li think so? β
The more he continued to speak, he didn't know why, Xiuning only felt sour in his heart. The heart of the Anqi clan, the last thing Xu Yifan needs to do is the heart of the Anqi clan, everything he does is to overthrow the rule of the Qi clan! Because of this, he will never marry her Xiuning!
Could it be that she went south to Jiangning, and in her selfish heart, she didn't have the idea of keeping the flag man with Xu Yifan? In the past few years, she has been observing, pondering, admiring, and appreciating Xu Yifan's every move and Xu Yifan's heroic deeds. Could it be that Jinghua is lonely, and his heart is cocoa, and he has long been around this apocalyptic hero?
It wasn't until Li Xuan came over today that she could see the deepest bit of thought in her heart!
But Xu Yifan, he will never have anything to do with himself again............ The words fell slowly, and Xiuning had already turned around. Feng'er and Le'er looked at Miss, but they only saw two lines of tears falling from her white jade-like cheeks.
Our young lady is angry with this Miss Li and crying?
Fight with her!
Feng Er Le'er gritted her teeth, and her dimples danced on her cheeks: "Angry Miss We!" I'm fighting with you! β
The two little girls rushed over with their teeth and claws, and Nan Xinai and Nan Yingai were all over this genuine twin, just to see where they were stronger than themselves. To be honest, the more you compare, the more inferior you are. Although they can't say it, this pair of genuine little twins is really charming, every move, the natural softness in that innocence, even women feel moved when they look at it.
Alas, the vassal kingdom is not as good as the heavenly kingdom............ Feng'er Le'er rushed over, Nan Xinai Nan Yingai kept looking at them, reacted the fastest, and immediately greeted them, one by one, pinching together: "What do you want to do!" Seduce our master and still come to spill? We'll fight with you first! β
The two pairs of little twins fought in one place, and the mothers and little girls who served Li Xuan were vegetarians. These subordinates, there is no wind and there are still three feet of waves, not to mention this matter of protecting the master! The group of females porridge porridge, roll up their sleeves and go up. The local old woman beside Xiuning also picked up a big broom: "You dare to come!" The bully is coming to the door and sewing you all up! β
Seeing that it was about to become a mess, Li Xuan turned around: "Du Juan, Luo Shi, pull them away!" β
Cuckoo and Luo Shi were also in a daze, why did the situation suddenly change? Hearing Li Xuan's order, the two stepped forward, one in one hand, and one in the other. The kung fu of the two of them, these two pairs of little twins were obediently captured. Kicking each other from afar.
"Shameless, shameless! We North Korean women are not easy to bully! β
"What a skill so many people have to deal with the two of us! Bullying our young lady is in trouble, if you have the ability to go to Yanjing City, let's go and ask the big brother and uncle who is good at fighting the camp to come out! Let's see if you dare to bully people! β
The two pairs of little girls were in tears, and the girls pinched up a pair, regardless of whether they could tell the winner or loser, most of them cried first, and they didn't know which family they were.
Xiuning had already walked over quickly at this time, and the tears on her face had already been wiped away, and she had returned to her elegant and calm demeanor. Luo Shi happened to be holding the two of them, and the long-legged tall girl was the most honest girl, and when she saw Xiuning coming, she obediently returned her to her. This unproductive look made the cuckoo shake his head.
Feng'er Le'er was picked up by Xiuning, and the two little twins wanted to hold on, but they were taken by Xiuning, and they couldn't help it, and they cried out when they hugged Xiuning.
"Miss, let's go back to Yanjing City............"
"It's not good here, it's not comfortable to live in, and there are so many bad guys, let's wait for you to go back............"
Xiuning smiled faintly and patted their heads: "Good, Yanjing City will not be our home soon............ Don't worry, I won't leave your ............ anywhere."
Li Xuan stood there with a pout, just looking at Xiuning. She tried to tell herself to be calm, but she couldn't help but puff out her mouth in anger, add three mustaches to one side of her cheek, and almost become a pretty cat.
What a vixen, call me out!
Beat her, this is called more people and less bullying, and it has a bad reputation when you say it. If you don't fight, you can't get out of this breath............ It's all because Xu Yifan is not good, with a super beauty like her, she is still messing with flowers outside! Isn't that the time I met my aunt! Otherwise, it would have been a round house a long time ago, and it would have been the turn of this vixen to shout here!
The cuckoo just looked at her eagerly, but Li Xuan didn't know what to do for a while, but his mouth was puffing out higher and higher with anger.
So many beauties with different characteristics are frozen here, if Xu Yifan can be on the scene, it is estimated that he can sigh with satisfaction, how spectacular this scene is!
When I was not embarrassed, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the small courtyard, and then I heard a person kneeling outside, shouting angrily: "Mrs. Xian, Mrs. Xian, don't make trouble!" Can't make a fuss! What's wrong, it's all from Bai Siwen, if there is anything wrong, how can Beifu talk back to the handsome! This is also related to the reputation of the handsome, Mrs. Xian, the Beifu kneels and begs you to return home, whatever is the matter, wait for the handsome to come back to cook! "If you change to someone else, you will never be so low-voiced, Bai Siwen is from the first county, he is used to having no skin and no face, as long as nothing happens, he can do anything!
Li Xuan stuck out his tongue in the courtyard, why did he drive Bai Siwen here? There are no outsiders, no matter how much trouble she makes, Xu Yifan can go over when she comes back, which alarms Jiangning Mansion, and Xu Yifan is about to pull down his face. According to his words, this can be regarded as interfering with the official affairs of Jiangning Mansion! It's a big deal, maybe the little ass will suffer.
She rolled her eyes, and Luo Shi had collapsed his face and covered his ass.
"I said I wouldn't come............ It turned out to be ............"
"It's not in vain! I'll take your share for you! "The cuckoo is a good man. Luo Shi didn't have the slightest self-consciousness, and he was tired of the cuckoo when he smiled like a flower: "That's it............ As long as I don't get beaten and don't deduct my monthly money, I don't care about the rest............ I will not betray you! β
Xiu Ning's pale face turned slightly red when she heard Aunt Xian's words. She looked at Li Xuan: "Miss Li, how to end, you can say something............"
Li Xuan had long lost his momentum, and turned around listlessly: "Forget it today, I'll talk to you another day!" Don't think you'll be so lucky next time! β
Her eldest lady opened the way, and the others naturally dispersed in a hurry, waiting for her to go out of the small courtyard. I didn't even have time to clean up the precious fur that was laid on the stone bench. The local old woman hired by Xiuning just held a broom and watched them go out, and before the last person stepped out, she closed the door with a bang, and covered her chest with her back against the door and panted: "Ah, Yo Huangtian, Miss, let me tell you, this copy of the outer house has always been smashed before stopping, and the clothes are torn clean for you!" This big house is honestly easy to talk to, Miss, you are blessed! β
Xiuning shook her head with a smile, hugging Feng Erle'er, who was still sobbing and answering, but her eyes couldn't help but look south. Xu Yifan is on his way to Shanghai, he is like this today, and when he comes back, how can he meet him again?
Outside the courtyard, Li Xuan sat down in the carriage with a snort, and suddenly stomped his foot hard: "The first negotiation with this fox spirit is considered a failure!" β
(To be continued)
