"What did my sister say, if you want to get married. I don't pay attention to my family background, but I definitely have to choose a great character. Look. Talent, a companion is indispensable. As for the abundance of family resources. And in the second. Qiao Ke took it very smoothly. As she spoke, her face turned red as soon as she said it, staring at Qiao Siwan for fear that the other party would catch her words.

Qiao Siwan didn't seem to understand what she said, and said with a normal face: "Listen to my sister, but I want to marry a talented man?" ”

Qiao Ke's expression turned even redder, and there was a hint of groping in his eyes: "Sister, if I am married, I really want to marry a talented man." If you think about it, if a man's opinion is high, then it is bound to be good. I'm not very talented, though. But when I hear the sound of people reading articles, I feel very conscious, if I marry a talented man. He was studying under the lamp, and I was listening quietly, and this was my wish, those sons of some big families. But it's not necessarily what I want, and I don't like it. ”

This. It's exactly the same as the old world. Su Shi Yu Meiniang didn't know how many people Qiao Kexiang had seen, but she didn't fancy the son of a lowly merchant. I'm afraid Yu Meiniang is also angry enough.

Qiao Siwan laughed. said: "My sister is an idiot with a porridge book, and I can't keep it in the future to be a champion lady." Congratulations. ”

Qiao Ke was aroused by this sentence, thinking of Su Yulou, who was robbed of the champion, and hated Qiao Siwan for talking too much for a while. I didn't know it, but the ghost was unconsciously surrounded by her, so she didn't say anything.

At this time. Ruby whispered that it wasn't too early. Qiao Siwan stood up and said, "Yes." I should go back too, my sister should rest sooner. ”

Qiao Ke also stood up and sent the person to the door with a smile on his face.

After returning, she sank her face and scolded Xia Xue: "Go and inquire about what the doctor of the Zhang family said to the old lady!" By the way, I also want to ask what happened to Cui Youlan?! ”

Xia Xue lowered her head, Rui's mother looked at Qiao Siwan's back worriedly, there was always an indescribable freshness in her heart, the eldest lady came today. Is it to remind the second lady that the old lady intends to promise her to a fool? Would she be so nice? But if the second lady really marries the second son of Xiangwang, her life will be ruined, Yin's mother thought. No matter what Qiao Siwan is burying her head in, this matter must be clarified.

Xia Xue went out for two times, and Qiao Ke was waiting in the house like pins and needles. When Xia Xue returned, she was scolded for splitting her head. Half of his talent was dissuaded by Rui's mother. Xia Xue knelt on the ground and told her the information she heard little by little.

Dr. Zhang was talking in the old lady's house, and everyone retreated, and no one knew what they were saying. I only knew that the old lady was very happy at noon that day, and she specially reserved Dr. Zhang for lunch. After lunch, the old lady sent her to the door. ”

"Useless stuff!" What he said was very little different from the information that Qiao Siwan confided. But there is nothing more effective to ridicule. "What about Miss Cui?"

Xia Xue said: "That Miss Cui pretended to be unwell. Deliberately waved in front of the eyes of Third Young Master Zhu. Said she was sick, heart. Hurt. Panting, Third Young Master Zhu actually took it seriously. Meiyi helped her up. Immediately turned around and found someone to help her. Who knows when others come. She told everyone that the third young master was rude to her, and her colleagues didn't believe it. But she was holding the jade pendant of the third young master in her hand, and said that if the Zhu family refused to come to the door to propose, she would hang herself at the gate of the Zhu family, so that everyone in Kyoto would know that the Zhu family was a family that reneged on the contract and oppressed weak women! The fight between the three rooms of the Zhu family has always been very strong, and he can't give this sore spot to others in his hands. The second lady of the Zhu family has no choice. The marriage that was told to Cui Youruo was changed to Cui Youlan. ”

"That's right. This Cui Youlan is really too rude. I provoked the disgust of my mother-in-law and husband before I passed through the door, how will I survive in the future! Rui's mother said coldly.

Qiao Ke muttered: "But if a woman like her doesn't play tricks, how can she marry so well!" ”

"Second Miss, you are ignorant, this is not a joke! In Kyoto, everyone in the noble family is connected. This Miss Cui is doing this, don't want to raise her head and be a person in the future! ”

"Hmph, if you can marry a person who is porridge, what if you can't raise your head, and you don't eat in the same family!" Qiao Ke usually listens to Rui's mother's words, but today she was unexpectedly stubborn, Rui's mother sighed and said, "Second Miss." Don't be in a hurry. The servant didn't think that the eldest lady would be so kind to remind you, and there must be something else to do. Don't be fooled by her words!

Qiao Ke lowered his head and did not speak. Xia Xue secretly looked at her expression. Rui's mother noticed it and glared at her fiercely. Xia Xue immediately lowered her head and went out quietly.

As soon as Xia Xue walked into the yard, she heard Rui's mother shouting through the window, "Xia Xue." Go to the kitchen and bring the second lady's lotus seed soup! ”

Xia Xue hurriedly answered and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

All the way out of Lixiangyuan, Xia Xue walked towards the direction of the kitchen. When he entered the kitchen, he asked loudly: "Mother Zhao, where is the lotus seed soup of the second lady?" ”

Mother Zhao replied with a smile: "What I want to do, it happened that the old lady temporarily entrusted her to stew snow clam porridge first, and the aunt who was in charge of the stove took leave again, so it was time to put it aside." You're excellent, come and wait. With that, he welcomed Xia Xue in.

The figure that followed Xia Xue on the opposite side quietly left, and Xia Xue poked her head out of the kitchen to take a look. laughed, turned to Zhao's mother and said, "You watch for me." ”

Mother Zhao smiled: "The old slave knows, the girl is at ease." ”

Xia Xue walked through the kitchen. Go out through the small side door. Go straight to Tingnuan Pavilion. Ruby was already waiting for her at the door, leading her way into the inner room.

As soon as Xia Xue entered the door. Then Yingying bowed to Qiao Siwan.

Qiao Siwan personally helped her up: "Are you seriously injured?" ”

Hongyu pulled up Xia Xue's sleeve and said, "Miss, look, it's not the first time that the second lady has beaten Xia Xue, and she will be angry with her as soon as she has something, and she won't have a piece of good meat on her body." ”

Xia Xue's body was blue and purple, which was thrilling at first glance, Qiao Siwan's eyebrows moved slightly, and she laughed: "She is becoming less and less unpresentable." "Just turn your head and call Ge Pu." Go get the medicine. ”

A trace of hatred crossed Xia Xue's eyes. Said: "The slave followed the second lady. Every time she beats me. Once, I just interrupted a feather duster. Compare to those. These are not much today, and the slaves are used to it. ”

Qiao Siwan sighed, and at this time, Ge Pu took the medicine from the box and wiped it for Xia Xue. Xia Xue stared at Qiao Siwan and said, "Miss, Mother Rui is suspicious. She also sent someone to follow the slave to the kitchen. Fortunately, the slaves had been on guard. Otherwise, if she finds out, I'm afraid that she will cause trouble for the eldest lady. ”

Rui's mother is indeed eye-catching. Qiao Siwan groaned slightly, and said after a while: "Be far away and thoughtful." Don't show your whereabouts. ”

"Yes." Xia Xue responded. Say it casually. "Miss. The servant looked at the second lady today as if she was thinking and acting. ”

Qiao Siwan was not as happy as Xia Xue expected, and was quiet for a while. Cai said: "Mother Rui is very eye-catching, and she is in Lixiangyuan." It's always tied. ”

Xia Xue said with a smile: "The eldest lady is not overly worried, according to the slave, the second lady now wants to take advantage of Rui's mother's strategy to come forward, and she may not have much heart for her." ”

Fang Yanwu raised his eyebrows and laughed lightly, and said, "Miss, why did you remind her about Dr. Zhang's affairs, wouldn't it be better for you to let the old lady promote this marriage?" ”

Qiao Siwan's eyes flashed with a fresh light, and she shook her head and said, "It's a pity that the old lady didn't answer." ”

"Didn't answer? Why is that? Fang Yaojiao was frightened.

Qiao Siwan smiled slightly: "Daddy still expects Uncle Erniang to say a few kind words for him in front of King Qin, so he retains the position of Yu Meiniang's wife." How can he rush to marry his daughter to a fool. He is not afraid of others saying that he can even sell his daughter in order to climb the power? The Qiao family may be face-saving, even if it is sold. He will also sell unnoticed, and will not do a loss-making business. She paused and said softly, "Xia Xue." Qiao Ke's nature, if there is no Mother Rui by her side to mention something, it will inevitably cause an accident, are you clear? ”

Xia Xue was stunned. Xuan came over clearly, curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Yes." The slave is clear. ”

One morning three days later. Xia Xue combed Qiao Ke's hair as usual. Qiao Ke stared at himself in the mirror. His expression was not very good, and he said, "Can you help me see how it's so itchy in this hair?" Do you have a pimple? How can I not touch it? ”

Xia Xue suppressed the smile in her heart, brushed her hair away with her hand to expose her scalp, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, how can this be!" ”

Rui's mother had an itchy scalp all night yesterday. I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, and I was frowning and standing aside to instruct the little girls to send hot water in for Qiao Ke to wash his desires. At this time, when I heard this, I was immediately annoyed: "What is rare and strange!" She walked over quickly and glared at Xia Xue fiercely. Then he looked at Qiao Ke's head. At first glance, he was frightened, and casually gave Xia Xue a slap: "Let you serve Miss." How do you serve?! What's going on on Miss's head? It's not good to do this little thing, what's the use of you? ”

Xia Xue covered her face and didn't dare to speak. Qiao Ke frowned and said, "What the hell is going on!" Why is it so itchy! ”

Rui's mother said worriedly: "Miss." It's head lice! The good ones didn't get close to those inferior people. How to grow this thing! ”

Head louse? Qiao Ke was stunned, and he was casually angry! It is extremely difficult to get rid of lice in a girl's house, not only is it itchy and unbearable, but the black hair will also be covered with yellow, yellow and white lice because of lice. How disgusting it is, how disgusting it is! One of her hairs is usually carefully maintained. Others were reluctant to even touch her. Isn't it a great sin to give birth to such a thing now!

Rui's mother was angry, and gave Xia Xue a slap with her arm and said, "It's useless, and I'm annoyed to boil the hot soup and put herbs for the second lady to brew!" After speaking, he coaxed Qiao Kedao. Miss, don't worry too much, soak a few more times, and then comb your hair with a glypt, and it won't itch. ”

At this time, the little girl who was being raised on the side was stunned. Dumbfoundedly, he pointed at Rui's mother and said, "Mom." Yours on the head too! ”

When Rui's mother heard this, she looked at the bronze mirror in disbelief, and there were really a lot of white dots on her scalp, she was startled, and she was speechless. Joco stood up suddenly. His face turned pale and he said, "Mom." Sure enough, it's you! How can you bring such a filthy thing in! I'm still annoyed to get out! ”

Rui's mother didn't know what was going on, she was in the young lady's room. Usually natural is very important to cleanliness, but I really can't figure out where to provoke head lice after all. How would she have thought of it. Did Xia Xue move on her pillow?

Although Qiao Ke did not quarrel for the sake of Rui's mother being her nurse. But he also drove Rui's mother to the yard. Indicates if her head lice are not removed. Resolutely refused
