280, sweet soup
After Jiang Chong said that he was going to enter Beijing, the whole house began to prepare in a hurry, taking away what should be taken away, loading the packing car, and saying goodbye to the people who were good friends.
Jiang Xuan didn't have a very good handkerchief in Jinling, but it was the little girl who the Cui family had relieved her last time, and Ren Linlang was good friends, she sent a letter to the two, and then received a parting gift from the two.
Ren Linlang is going to marry in the capital, and the wedding date will be in the spring of next year, and then they can meet again in the capital.
However, Cui Ying, the little girl Cui Ying, is very regretful, the old lady Cui Zhishi, will always live in Jinling in the future, it will be difficult for the two to meet, she is very sad in the letter and asks Jiang Xuan to write more letters to her.
Jiang Yu is the Yin of Jinling Mansion, and when the time comes, he will stay alone in the old mansion, Jiang Xuan wants to live with Jiang Yu in Jinling, but Jiang Chong disagrees, and the old lady does not agree.
Jiang Xuan has been in his teens for almost ten years, and he has been stumbling until now, there is no good family in Jinling, and there are many people in the capital, so there is always one suitable for Jiang Xuan.
On this day, after Jiang Chong returned home from a banquet outside, he called Jiang Xuan to the study.
Jiang Chong saw his daughter's smiling appearance, thinking of his wife who died early, his heart was sour and relieved, he opened a box on the table and pulled out a few posts from it.
He laid out the posts one by one, spread them out on the table, and said with some relief,
"Dad's obedient girl is also so big, although there were some stumbles in the past, but there are hundreds of female begging in the family, these are the days when I went out to the banquet, and people with vision sent posts asking to marry a good girl.
I chose a few of them, and I took a look at them with my father, and if there was anything I liked, you agreed, and my father will book it for you. ”
He smiled and counted carefully, "This is the prince of Shenjun, his wife has passed away, and there are no children left, but his temper is a little violent, it is rumored that he likes women, lingers in flowers, is an out-and-out prodigal son in love, and does not refuse women, and has a bad reputation."
Daddy is ready to push this post, and Daddy's good girl deserves better. ”
I didn't expect the Shenjun Wangfu to really send a marriage post, she thought of the scene of the quarrel with the prince of Shenjun on the street, and her body suddenly trembled, but fortunately, her father pushed the post.
It's just that she has also seen the princess many times, she is a kind person, even the prince is not bad, how can she raise such an arrogant and domineering son?
I saw Jiang Chong pointing to another post and said, "This is the post of the second grandson of the Cui family, although he is not the eldest grandson, he will split up in the future, but the Cui family knows the roots, and the family style is good, although this child was born in wealth, he has great ambitions, and his father has already passed the school examination, so let your brother inquire."
This kid is a good one, if Xuan'er follows him, it won't be an insult to my Zhenbei general's name. ”
Jiang Xuan looked at her father's rare smiling face in the past few days, listening to his chatter, she always knew that her father was good to her, and hoped that she could live well.
Thinking that a few days ago, she had suspected that Jiang Chong had played a bad role in her mother's death, and she felt a little guilty.
Because Uncle Xu and Xu Bin were there, they naturally wouldn't attack Xu, but Xu didn't dare to come out, just shrunk in the courtyard and didn't go out.
Jiang Chong is still enthusiastically commenting on the possible candidates for Jiang Xuan's future husband, he chooses those who have a clean family style and good character as disciples, maybe it doesn't look very remarkable at the moment, but the future is limitless.
"Xuan'er, take a look at this post." He picked out a post and handed it to Jiang Xuan.
"This is the son of the Xu family? How so? Jiang Xuan glanced at it and whispered in surprise.
Jiang Chong said, "Not to mention the Xu family, Xu Bin, this child, is deep and cold, he is the most proud grandson of Uncle Xu, and he will definitely inherit the title of the earl in the future."
But the Xu family is a little involved with our family, and I don't know how it is now.
However, in this world, I always feel that it is too deep, and your brother also said that he can't see through him.
Anyway, my father felt that Xu Bin's life seemed to be not suitable for marriage. ”
Jiang Xuan agrees with her father's point of view too much, and the two encounters between her and Xu Bin are inexplicable, and even once they almost let Xu catch the handle.
What made her even more uncomfortable was that Xu Bin had this dangerous aura on her body, as if as long as one thing didn't go well, she would ruin the things around her, which made her feel very bad.
Besides, let her marry into the Xu family? How can it be? Or a clan woman.
"Daddy, my daughter doesn't want to get married now, so let my daughter accompany you more. By the way, the eldest brother is also in his twenties, you can look at him......"
Although Jiang Xuan's move has the meaning of moving eastward, Jiang Yu has indeed reached the age of marriage.
That prince of Shenjun is about the same age as Jiang Yu, and his wife has already been hung for a term, and Jiang Yu is wife's shadow doesn't know where it is.
Jiang Yu, who was working in the mansion, suddenly sneezed, he shook his head, and Jiang Hai on the side said worriedly, "Young Master, let's go home and drink a bowl of ginger soup, but don't catch a cold." ”
Jiang Chong is a military general, he doesn't like to be rigid and small, and when he saw Jiang Xuan talking about his marriage generously, he didn't have the twisting and pretentiousness of an ordinary little daughter.
thought that she was willing to stay at the door in order not to say goodbye.
He smiled, "Inner house woman, daddy is rare to see, if Xuan'er sees a suitable one, you can tell daddy, daddy let people inquire, it's time to find someone to take care of your brother." ”
Jiang Chong saw that Jiang Xuan was not interested in these posts, and he didn't force it, anyway, he was going to the capital, maybe Xuan'er's fate was in the capital.
He put the post away, talked about the conversation again, and Jiang Xuan took his leave.
After the Jiang family and the good friends said that they were going to move to the capital, but because Jiang Yu was still in Jinling, Jiang Chong thought that before leaving, he would invite the good friends to a banquet and let these uncles and brothers take care of Jiang Yu.
For Jiang Chong's proposal, the old lady naturally agreed, the son is important, the grandson is equally important, only when everything is good, the family will become more and more prosperous.
Because of the short time for the banquet to prepare, the second and third wives had to buy and decorate, although there was a housekeeper to help, they still felt that the time was tight.
The second wife thought about Jiang Ling, thinking that she was going to get married, and she always had to go through it, but it was not good to let Jiang Ling follow her to deal with these things.
So, she thought to the old lady that the girls in the family should take care of their own stalls, and she and the third lady would take care of them behind.
The old lady is naturally willing, the girl's family will have to know these things when she reaches a certain age, and she will not be black-eyed when she marries in the future.
Jiang Xuan was assigned to be in charge of the kitchen's procurement, dishes, Jiang Zhu'er also assigned the task, in charge of the dishes and utensils, although it was not big, it was hateful and important.
The other Jiang Ling and Jiang Xuan also had their own errands, and they were busy, and soon it was the day of the banquet.
On the day of the banquet, Xu Shi just came out in a hurry to meet the guests, so he said that he was unwell and returned to the courtyard.
It's Jiang Zhu'er, after meeting the guests, she accompanied the little sisters in the garden.
At the beginning of the banquet, Jiang Xuan and Jiang Zhu'er, as the main family and sisters, sat at the same table, and the girls on the sides were the girls they had befriended.
Jiang Zhu'er didn't have a break today, the banquet was harmonious, and when the last sweet soup came up, Jiang Zhu'er said with a smile,
"This is our chef's specialty, and it's hard for you to eat it."
It was a hundred fruit sweet soup, a small cup for everyone, Jiang Xuan scooped it in with a spoon, and saw that there were peanuts in the soup, she frowned, the spoon in her hand paused, and instructed Biyun who was clothing vegetables behind her,
"You go to the front yard mat and take a look, don't let Ju'er eat this sweet soup."
Jiang Zhu'er on the side listened to her words, frowned, and then put down her chopsticks, "Eldest sister, why do you have trouble with your younger brother?" If I have sinned against you, I will not pay you for it. “
"There are so many people today, it's too ugly for you to do this, it's just a sweet soup, don't you let your brother eat it?"
"He's your brother, too."
The people at the banquet, some of whom were close to Jiang Xuan, and some of whom were close to Jiang Zhu'er, were all girls who were good friends, so they naturally knew that the two sisters were not very harmonious.
Because she got up, not only their table, but also the people on the side also looked over, plus Jiang Zhu'er deliberately raised her voice, and almost everyone who looked over didn't have very kind eyes.
Jiang Zhu'er offended Jiang Xuan again and again, as if she was so domineering at home, and she didn't give her brother a single sweet soup.
Jiang Xuan hooked the corners of her lips and did not respond to Jiang Zhu'er in a hurry.
"Eldest sister, what's wrong with Ju'er, why can't you let him eat well in one meal?" Jiang Zhuer angrily accused Jiang Xuan.
Although Jiang Zhu'er has a bad temper, it does not prevent her from making some little sisters, who will stand by Jiang Zhu'er's side and look at Jiang Xuan dissatisfied.
Jiang Zhu'er was a little proud when she saw those people standing beside her, but her face became more and more aggrieved, "I don't know where my brother offended her, or where I offended her." ”
Jiang Xuan ignored Jiang Zhu'er's smug eyes, but leaned back in the chair, looking directly at her with both eyes, "What do you mean, do you have to let Ju'er eat this sweet soup?" ”
Jiang Zhu'er was uncomfortable with her, but relying on the secret that only she knew, she became bolder.
"What do you mean by that? Can't Ju'er eat the banquet you helped prepare at home today? ”
She was soft and weak, so she said that Jiang Xuan helped prepare this banquet.
Jiang Xuan chuckled, turned to Biyun and ordered, "Come on, don't go to the front yard, just let Jiang Ju eat that bowl of sweet soup." ”
With that, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Zhu'er.
"Oh......" Jiang Zhu'er let out a long 'oh' in a strange voice, and she pointed at Jiang Xuan, "Jiang Xuan, what do you mean by this?" This sweet soup, my brother has always loved to eat it, you know it, or stop it, could it be that there is something greasy in this soup? Or do you suspect that the soup is poisonous? ”
Hearing the word 'poison', everyone present was stunned.
Those who drank the soup immediately felt like they were stuck in their throats, and even wanted to vomit.
Jiang Xuan is impressed by Jiang Zhu'er for the first time, although her acting skills are clumsy, her ability to sow discord is first-class.
first said that she prepared a banquet, and then said that there was a problem with the dishes at this banquet.
She looked at Jiang Zhu'er with a smile, "It's poisonous or not, you won't know if you drink it." None of the people present were unwell. ”
Jiang Zhu'er said with a cold face, "Then what do you mean?" You just look down on our brother and sister, do you? Is it meant to insult us? My grandfather is still here, and you are doing this to us? ”
Jiang Xuan got up and smiled, "Poisonous or not, everyone knows it, since you said so, it seems that Ju'er has to eat this sweet soup today, and if you don't eat it, you have to eat it." ”
"Biyun, you go to the front yard and let Ju'er eat all the sweet soup in front of everyone, but Jiang Zhu'er will be responsible for the consequences."
Jiang Zhu'er took a step back, she didn't expect Jiang Xuan to come to this hand, even if Jiang Xuan didn't remind Biyun to go just now, she wouldn't let Jiang Ju eat this cup of sweet soup.
Her grandfather hasn't left yet, he was a guest at Jiang's house, and he is also sitting at the banquet today, if at this time, Ju'er has something wrong, such as what poisoning she eats, then Jiang Xuan is managing the dishes in the kitchen, and she will definitely not be able to eat good fruits at that time.
Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Zhu'er with a calm face, "Didn't you find peanuts in this soup?" Don't you know that Ju'er will get a rash all over her body when she eats peanuts? ”
"I stopped Ju'er from eating, but you said that I had bad intentions, I want to ask, who is ill-intentioned?"
Her indifferent gaze did not leave Jiang Zhu'er, watching her face become whiter and whiter, "You must have discovered it a long time ago, so at this time, outsiders don't know the truth, and they will only think that I have treated Ju'er harshly." Even the government mistreated you two brothers and sisters.
In the end, Ju'er was poisoned, and it was also my discordant sister who poisoned her. ”
"Although everyone has eaten sweet soup, I can't guarantee that you will still say that there is a problem with Ju'er's bowl alone, yes or no?"
Jiang Zhu'er wanted to retreat, and at the same time her heart trembled.
She didn't expect that something that she was so sure of would be exposed by Jiang Xuan.
Her face was not very good, and the faces of the other guests were certainly not very good.
Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Zhu'er with a sneer, and the coldness in her eyes was about to freeze Jiang Zhu'er to death.
When the bowl of sweet soup came up, she knew that there was a problem, she knew that Jiang Ju would have a rash after eating peanuts, originally, she didn't agree with this soup on the table, but the steward who prepared the ingredients said that it was good not to put peanuts in it.
After all, the fruit soup is as delicious as the Jiang chef's chef
But unexpectedly, something went wrong, her eyes narrowed, this is being pitted, right!
Jiang Xuan's words made a large group of people who were silently condemning Jiang Xuan's mistreatment of his younger siblings before instantly look at Jiang Zhu'er with incredible eyes.
This is also too clumsy, too vicious, even ignoring his brother's body, just to frame his sister who is not compatible with him.
Jiang Zhu'er didn't expect Jiang Xuan to know that Jiang Ju would have a rash if he ate peanuts, and Jiang Ju had only had a seizure once, and that time it was still at Xu's house in the capital.
When I was a child, once Jiang Ju ate peanuts, his whole body was covered with rashes, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Jiang Ju only ate a few extra peanuts that day, and Xu was careful not to give Jiang Ju peanuts after that.
At the time of the Xu family, Jiang Ju accidentally ate it, but the Xu family did not spread it, and the Xu family would not spread it.
This can be said to be a fatal shortcoming, what if it is known and comes to harm Jiang Ju?
Why would Jiang Xuan know?
Jiang Zhu'er was really palpitating at this reversal, she was vague and shook her hand, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't, how could I harm my brother." ”
She covered her face and cried, "Sister, where did you hear that?" Said that Ju'er would get a rash after eating peanuts? “
"I don't even know, since you know that Ju'er can't eat peanuts, why do you still let this dish be served, aren't you afraid that if he accidentally eats it, he will die?
Why is your heart so poisonous? You have prepared this feast today. ”
Jiang Zhu'er trembled angrily, and she suddenly screamed, "Come on, come on, go to the front yard to see, if Ju'er eats it, will he die?" ”
Jiang Xuan hooked her lips and stared at Jiang Zhu'er's performance tightly, she really didn't expect Jiang Zhu'er to learn Xu's shamelessness, no, her behavior like this can't be described as shameless.
She sneered and squinted at Jiang Zhu'er, "Why this soup came up, I will find out clearly, but you don't hesitate to use your brother's body to make trouble, which is rare in the world." ”
"Even if I have ulterior motives, but I asked people to stop Jiang Ju from eating this sweet soup as soon as possible, what are you doing?"
Her gaze swept over Jiang Zhu'er's face, and she said in a rambling voice, "Go, send someone to grandmother, Mrs. Xu, and Uncle Xu to say that this is a matter of life, and everyone knows about it."
In addition, all the people in the kitchen, from the purchaser to the cook, to the handyman, and the person who serves the food, are all gathered together. ”
Jiang Ling and Jiang Xuan were already apologizing to the girls on the side.
Cui Ying, the little girl of the Cui family who had been standing beside Jiang Xuan, couldn't help but walk up to Jiang Zhu'er and said loudly, "It's a shame that you came up with such an idea, it's really a shame for someone like you to be the Jiang family." ”
Jiang Ling glanced at Jiang Zhu'er and saluted the girls, "I'm sorry, it's Zhu'er messing around, I'm sorry, I'm scared of you." ”
Jiang Zhu'er was embarrassed, just covered her face and cried.
In the front yard, Jiang Ju naturally didn't eat the bowl of sweet soup, he didn't have much appetite during this time because of his life experience.
If it weren't for Old Uncle Xu sending someone to call him, probably he wouldn't even have attended the banquet.
When I came up on the table, I just ate a few bites hastily, and then put down the chopsticks.
Jiang Xuan sent Biyun over, and in front of Old Uncle Xu, Xu Bin, Jiang Chong, and Old Lady Cui and others, he turned his head back crisply
What happened in the flower hall was repeated.
Old Uncle Xu was also shocked.
Xu is his second daughter, as soon as she was born, he was promoted, so he was very fond of her, even if she wanted to marry Jiang Chong, he had no choice, so he admitted it and helped.
Now, he is still working hard to let the Xu family stay in the Jiang family, but he didn't expect his granddaughter to come out and dismantle the stage.
He didn't expect Jiang Zhu'er to be so reckless and frame his own brother.
He was angry with Jiang Xuan again, and he was so ruthless, and said what Jiang Zhu'er did in front of the guests.
He really hated Jiang Xuan in his heart, and today's things were all bad on Jiang Xuan, he really didn't understand, why was this girl so ruthless?
However, he looked at Jiang Chong lightly and said, "I heard that today's banquet was prepared by the eldest girl. Speaking of which, the eldest girl is really amazing and well-prepared. ”
Since she knew that peanut soup was Ju'er's taboo, how could she still serve it? Well, check it out.
Don't be a big girl who is kind to her brother, but when she comes to the next person, she is against yin and yang.
Speaking of which, it is also my girl's poor health, if she is in good health, she still needs to take care of the middle feed of the eldest girl on behalf of her mother at a young age. ”
This time he was armed with a stick, which not only satirized the Jiang family's lack of rules, but also secretly satirized Jiang Chong, and also picked out the Xu family.
Outsiders naturally don't know whether Xu's illness is real or fake, but it is the old lady Cui who said with a smile,
"The eldest girl of their family, I have always liked it very much, but I am asking for marriage for the second child, although the eldest girl is older than the second child.
However, the female junior, reporting the gold suit, maybe our Jiang family will go back with a golden egg. ”
Xu Bin, who was sitting at the bottom, listened to Mrs. Cui's words, and immediately tightened the wine cup in his hand, his eyes drooped slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Later, Jiang Xuan went directly to the big kitchen, and the people in the big kitchen stood in a courtyard, from the steward, the chef to the chores.
Biyun put the chair under the porch, Jiang Xuan sat up, and looked at the black head below.
She directly ordered the steward who didn't prepare peanuts that day and pointed it out,
"Why are there peanuts in the sweet soup served today?"
The steward was stunned, "Girl, after you gave your orders that day, the little one didn't buy peanuts, how could it be...... You have to ask Master Chen. ”
Master Chen, who was named by the steward, hurriedly came out and shouted, "The menu that the girl gave me indicated that there were no peanuts, but they were mixed with peanuts before entering the pot, and the small one had someone to ask the girl."
Later, the Yuping girl came over and said that the girl said that it didn't matter, and the little one saw that she was not serving in the girl's courtyard, and she specially asked if she was sure.
At that time, the Yuping girl said that there were many guests today, and the people around the girl were not available, so she was sent to talk back.
Then, the little one went down to the pot to boil the soup. ”
Today, she has been entertaining the girls of various families, and she has not seen the person sent by Master Chen to ask for instructions.
As for Yuping...... Jiang Xuan's face changed, and he instructed Bilan, "Go, go to the main courtyard and find Yuping." ”
Yuping is a second-class maid in the main courtyard, and Jiang Xuan will not order her to go to her head.
What's more, this jade screen itself was not cleaned up in the matter of Xu's calculation of her, so how dare she fake the news?
Bilan didn't delay for a moment, went to the main courtyard, and after questioning all the way, she didn't find any news of Yuping, as if she had suddenly disappeared from this mansion.
It's too much of a coincidence, just about to look for her, she disappeared, the corner door locks everywhere are intact, and the door on the gate swears that he didn't see Yuping go out.
Jiang Xuan's heart tightened, this was no longer a simple matter of making a mistake in the dish, she looked at the housekeeper who heard the news, and Mama Shen beside the old lady, with a solemn expression,
"Yuping is not seen at this time, it's too weird, since I haven't seen her go out on the door, then she must still be in the house, and now the guests in the house haven't dispersed, let the people look for it slowly, don't make too much movement."
Jiang Zhu'er also went to the kitchen from the front, only to see her running over angrily, and when she arrived in front of Jiang Xuan, her face was distorted, her eyes were red, and she said to Jiang Xuan, "It must be you, it's your poisonous hand, you want to harm Ju'er and keep your brother's position, don't you?" ”
"Jiang Yu is already Fu Yin, Ju'er is still young, how can he threaten Jiang Yu's status? Jiang Xuan, why are you so vicious? ”
Jiang Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to Jiang Zhu'er's hysterical roar, Yuping's disappearance was definitely not simple, she was afraid that Yuping was dead now, if so, it was really a bit unclear.
Here, who is trying to harm her? Hsu? Or the second wife, the third wife? Or maybe it's Jiang Zhu'er?
When was this game done?
Jiang Xuan frowned, thinking that there were still guests to entertain in the front yard, so she asked Mama Shen and the housekeeper to quietly take someone to find Yuping, and she went to the flower hall.
As soon as she walked to the three-way intersection, she was stopped by a low male voice, she turned around and saw that it was Xu Bin, who was standing at the intersection, looking at her with a smile.
Xu Bin, who was dressed in a purple and red brocade robe, stood there heavily, his breath was cold, but his eyes were very intense, in such a cold early winter, Jiang Xuan felt uncomfortable inexplicably.
Although she felt uncomfortable, her face remained calm and cold, "Cousin Xu, why are you here?" ”
……
The capital, the suburbs of the palace.
Lin Yi was lying on his side by the window in a wide-sleeved robe, supporting his forehead with one hand, a few strands of hair hanging down on his forehead, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, his eyes were pure and broad, like a calm sea, which made people feel at ease when they saw it, with a romantic charm.
Xiao Yue on the opposite side was pursing his lips and pouring tea.
"You're more serious than before, Xiao Jiu, so that your queen can bear it?" He said lazily with a smile.
Xiao Yue didn't raise his eyelids, "If you're afraid that Niannian won't be able to stand me, then you can go back to the palace and take this broken position back." ”
He said coldly with a calm face.
"No, no, it's good that you're so serious, and you're getting more and more majestic." Lin Yi sat up, straightened his clothes, and smiled lightly.
Xiao Yue snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know that you and Zhang Chunzi confessed that you were not in good health." He said heavily,
"Count it as fast as you can."
Lin Yi didn't feel the slightest displeasure at what Xiao Yue said, he laughed softly, "You know, this Zhang Chunzi, he betrayed me when he turned around."
However, you're doing better than me now, and I made the right decision, didn't you? “
After he finished speaking, Shi Shiran picked up the tea poured by Xiao Yue, and the seven-point full tea cup turned in his hand, and suddenly said,
"I know about Concubine Shu, and the second prince, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Xiao Yue took a sip of tea and frowned, "This is just ordinary tea, why are you such a baby, you didn't let me make tea before, when did your taste become so ...... Peculiar? ”
"What Concubine Shu did has nothing to do with you, you don't need to give any explanation, as for the second prince, he is even more kept in the dark."
Lin Yi looked at the clear tea soup, this was the tea that Jiang Xuan gave him at the beginning, he brewed it from time to time, and slowly, there was only so little left.
He put down the teacup in his hand and sighed inwardly. ()
