Chapter 136: Coincidence
Xu Murou was slowly walking towards the lake, gradually soaking her body, and then seemed to turn around and say something to the maid, and the maid immediately shouted loudly.
Xu Murou began to flutter in the water, and it didn't take long for a servant woman who could swim in the water to jump into the water and rescue her.
It's a good show. It's just that the real show hasn't started yet, but I want to hear how she sings next.
From the moment she stood by the lake and reached into the lake, as if she had tested the water temperature, Jinghu felt that something was wrong. That's why I called the eight ladies of the Zhao family to come over to see the excitement - it may not be to see the excitement, but to stand up and testify.
What offended Xu Murou today was nothing more than herself and Li Yi, if she wanted to be framed, she would naturally invite the two of them into the urn.
She only paid such a small cost, but she was afraid that she didn't choke on the water for a few bites, so she wanted to drag herself and Li Yi into the water, how could it be so easy.
The eighth lady of the Zhao family has a very gentle temperament, and when she saw such a scene, she was so surprised that she couldn't even speak for a while.
Jinghu still had the heart to laugh, and turned to everyone: "I don't know which one Miss Xu Jialiu is singing." ”
"In the lake where she approached, and then someone was called to come and save her, did she suffer some grievances at home and want to get more love from her elders?"
The others couldn't say why, but the little lady who came with the eight ladies of the Zhao family smiled, "After all, it has nothing to do with us, it's just their family's family matter." Just don't know about it. ”
Jinghu was in the mood to look at the little lady carefully at this moment. She didn't seem to have seen her.
When she saw Jinghu looking, she smiled and saluted, "The little county lord doesn't know me." I was born in the Xie family in Huai'an, and I came to Yanjing to visit my aunt. ”
Huai'an Xie's family? There are quite a few daughters of the Xie family who marry into the Yanjing family, so it can't be so coincidental, right?
Then she continued: "My aunt married into the Ke Taishi Mansion, and my cousin is the sister-in-law of the little county lord. ”
It's such a coincidence. Isn't she Ke Mingxu's cousin?
Jinghu also returned the salute with a smile, "I lived in Jiangnan for half a year the year before last, but I never had the opportunity to go to Huai'an. ”
"To this day, I still often think about the delicacies in Jiangnan, but nothing else is fine, and I am not afraid of Miss Xie's jokes, but I often think about a wild vegetable called 'shepherd', I don't know if Miss Xie likes it or not."
Ke Mingxu took her to eat near Songshi Academy, and mentioned that one of his cousins liked to use this wild vegetable very much.
The little lady smiled gently, "I'm at home on weekdays, and I can't leave it for three meals in the spring, but I have the same preferences as the little county lord." ”
Jinghu couldn't help but be more curious about her. "Those who turn around and turn can be regarded as relatives, and I don't know Miss Xie's name and age."
"My maiden name is Chi Ying, and I am already fourteen years old this year, so I should be older than the little county lord."
is fourteen years old, and he has already held a spring banquet. I don't know if there is a marriage. Probably not, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to walk so far to visit my relatives.
Jinghu laughed, "It turned out to be Sister Chi Ying." I don't know when my sister will go back to Jiangnan, where she lives now, and if she has the opportunity, she will come to my house to play. ”
She replied to her one by one, "My aunt's illness has not been well for a long time, and my father is worried, so I let my mother and I go to Beijing to visit." Now he lives in Master Ke's mansion, so it is convenient to take care of his aunt. ”
"At the end of June, my grandfather will celebrate his 70th birthday, and at the latest, he will go home in early June."
At the beginning of June, there are still more than two months to go. Xie Chiying's grandfather is also Ke Mingxu's maternal grandfather, and I don't know if he will go to Jiangnan at that time.
Probably not, after all, he has to take care of his mother, and he still serves in the Hanlin Academy.
"I see." She actually lives in Master Ke's mansion now, but she hasn't heard Ke Mingxu mention it. On second thought, it seemed that he didn't need to mention this kind of thing to himself.
Jinghu couldn't help but get up, "Please come to my house as a guest when my sister is free, and I happen to visit my sister-in-law and little nephew." Li Yi and I still have something to do, so I won't bother you talking, and I'll go downstairs first. ”
The eighth lady of the Zhao family and Xie Chiying naturally would not keep them, and said goodbye to each other, and Jinghu went downstairs with Li Yi.
Finding a corner that was a little quieter and easier to talk to, Jinghu looked around, but he didn't see Xu Yanjia, and he didn't know where she went. came out to the banquet and said that he would take good care of her, but he didn't do anything.
It's hard to say upstairs, but at this time, only the two of them can see who Xu Murou is doing this for. Fortunately, Jinghu Fang made more preparations and pulled two witnesses, and it is always reasonable to say that he will have to prove in the future.
She had to make a confession with Li Yi first, "Since Xu Murou has done such a thing, she must be able to say anything in front of the elders, she must say that I am bullying others and punish her for kneeling for no reason." ”
"And to say that you did something to her, and ruined our reputation on an occasion like today."
"I have her handle in my hand, far more serious than what she overhears about me and you, and it will affect Brother Keshi's reputation, so I don't want to do it. But we can't just wait for her to splash the dirty water, we have to think of a way. ”
Li Yi thought about it for a while, and lifted her sleeves a little, her arms were not as white as jade like most Yanjing ladies, but had a faint honey color, and a plaster was pasted on them.
"A few days ago, I was arguing with my brother and accidentally injured my hand, my grandmother knew about it, but today it was a coincidence. Since my hand is injured and plastered, how can I do it to her? ”
"In addition, there are two witnesses, Zhao Banniang and Miss Xie, since falling into the water is framed, then it is natural to say that we will punish her and do it to her. If you want to blame, she can only blame herself for lying first. ”
Jinghu glanced at her hand, "Your hand is really injured, so how did you make her kneel?" ”
Li Yi sneered, "Just a lady like her, who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains, how much strength does it take me to use?" ”
He added: "My grandmother has always been protective of my shortcomings, and never said that I and my brother are not, if something really happens, she must be protecting me." But you came with the princess of the county today, she is Xu Murou's aunt, will she face you? ”
She's going to be weird to her.
A few days ago, the mother concubine had just offended her for her brother's affairs, and now that she was doing things, she was afraid that she would not even care about the face of the Yongning County Palace, and wished that she could be caught by her. I can only see the moves.
It happened that two maids came to look for them, "Lord Jingling County, Miss Li, our lady invites you two to go to Songhe Hall." ”
Jing Hu and Li Yi glanced at each other.
