Xinyue turned around and saw that it was the owner of Liubao Zhai, who was called Boss Ji by Chai Bizhi in the restaurant just now.

"Is there something wrong with Childe?" Fei'er stopped in front of the two men and told him not to come forward again.

Boss Ji immediately stopped and refused to salute, "Miss Xu, my surname is Ji, my name is Feiyu, and I specially caught up with her this time to thank the girl." ”

"I didn't help you just now, but I delayed your business, so you want to thank me?" Crescent Moon asked suspiciously.

"Girl, please listen to me, a few months ago, when I went out, I met a group of thugs, chased all the way to the outside of Jinling City, and still refused to give up. At that time, I was subconsciously unclear, just listening to the girl, and the guards who sent it to the hospital intermittently, thinking that you were the side concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince, and then inquired in many ways, and there was only one princess in the East Palace.

"Why are you? Thought I was dead? Xinyue didn't have any impression of him, and when she heard him say this, she remembered that there was such a thing, but she really didn't take it to heart.

"Naturally, I don't dare to curse the girl like this, now I know the girl's true identity, the girl is above, and the next worship, the girl's life-saving grace cannot be repaid in the next, but as long as the girl is useful in the next place, she should do her best in the next place." As he spoke, Ji Feiyu suddenly knelt on the ground, and Xinyue hurriedly reached out to stop it, but it was too late.

"Ji Gongzi, hurry up! It's on the street, and if you're thinking about me, don't do that. Crescent Moon regretted not wearing a hat at this point.

"Yes, it's a little ill-conceived." After Ji Feiyu heard this, he immediately got up from the ground, but his originally plain robe had been stuck with dirt.

"Why does Gongzi Ji bother to make this big gift, the little girl is just a gesture, since Gongzi is fine, then it's good. It's getting late, and the little girl is leaving, so she says goodbye. "Looking at the already dark sky, the plan to visit the cloth village was also disrupted by Chai Bizhi, and he could only go home first.

"Girl, I have to do something next to repay the girl." Ji Feiyu naturally refused to leave Xinyue like this, and hurriedly chased after him.

Xinyue looked at Feng'er, who was palpitating and lying beside her, and said to Ji Feiyu, "Ji Gongzi, how do you think you know, it is not convenient for the little girl to chat with you here now, you said that you want to repay my life-saving grace, then as your life-saving benefactor, I want to repay the favor without you repaying the favor, is it okay?" I want to take my maid back now, who would have thought that I would encounter such a wicked young man when eating in a restaurant. With that, Crescent Moon and Feng'er, Fei'er got into the carriage and left.

In the carriage, Xinyue reached out and grabbed Feng'er's hand, only to feel that her hand was cold, "Good girl, frightened, right?" ”

"Girl, the slave is fine. It's you, entangled with that villain, and it might even affect your reputation. As she spoke, Feng'er shook Xinyue's hand with some excitement.

Crescent Moon smiled, "My reputation is nothing to lose anyway." It's good that I'm notorious so I don't have to marry again. It's just that my brother and sister-in-law's reputation is not good, I must find a way to clean up this firewood wall."

"Then the slave maid will have to wait and see, girl, the last time you said to clean up Miss Shan, you threw her newly made embroidered shoes into the pool, she lost her temper, and threw your shoes into the pond, and Madame punished both of you for not having dinner, and punished you for standing in the courtyard, and it was not His Royal Highness the Prince who interceded for you that you could go back to the room." As soon as Feng'er said, Xinyue paused, this was already ten years ago, "Yes, but Shan'er is my relative, and what I did was just such a little trick." And Chai Bizhi must pay a price. ”

Feng'er and Fei'er both looked at Xinyue's sinking face, and after a moment, Fei'er said cautiously, "Didn't General Jiang already relieve the siege for us and teach Chai Shizi a lesson?" ”

Xinyue didn't expect to meet Jiang Yang today, such a coincidence is really a headache, "Why should we accept the favor of some people we can never repay." ”

"Girl, drink saliva, your lips are dry."

It's been a long time since she returned to the house, and Xinyue has been sitting on the couch next to her bed thinking about something, and Feng'er carefully brought a cup of tea to Xinyue.

Xinyue stretched out her hand to take it, but instead of drinking, she said to Feng'er, "Have you gone to invite sister-in-law?" ”

"Yes, Madame said come here." Feng'er also just came from Cao's room.

Fei'er packed up the clothes that Xinyue had changed, put the purse, jade pendant, and some personal items that Xinyue wore around her waist beside Xinyue, and said worriedly, "Girl, your pale green lotus leaf purse is gone." ”

The crescent moon looked up, and sure enough, everything else was there, except for the green purse, "where did it fall?" ”

"The slave and maid remember that when you came out of the palace, the slave and maid saw that there were some stains on your skirt and wiped it for you, it was on the left side of your waist."

Xinyue was a little worried, if this kind of private thing fell outside, it was not as simple as dropping a hairpin, "Is it dropped in the place where you eat?" ”

"It's possible" Fei'er has been with Xinyue all the time, but she didn't think when this purse was lost.

"What's wrong?" When Cao's sister-in-law came in, she saw Xinyue holding her forehead with one hand, thinking about something worriedly.

"I just lost a purse, but on that purse, there is nothing that can confirm my identity, this is also the first time I wear it, it should be no big deal, sister-in-law, you sit, I have something to tell you."

"Let the people who follow you be careful, if you can find it, you still have to find it, otherwise it's always a problem. If you fall somewhere you know, send someone to ask. Cao nodded, feeling that it was indeed not something that should be careless.

"Okay" Xinyue nodded, and decided to let the next person look for it near Liubaozhai tomorrow.

"Say, you are worried, something must have happened in the palace." Cao could see at a glance that Xinyue's troubles were more than this.

Xinyue called Cao's to come, just to have something to say, so I told her about the things that were in the palace today, and the maid Mei'er beside the crown princess bit herself, and how to solve it, and finally said, "Sister-in-law, when I discussed with the queen mother in the palace, I couldn't think of anyone who wanted to harm me and tarnish my reputation, I was worried that it was someone in the palace, but the concubines in the palace who had something to do with me, even the queen, I had no grievances with them, and that Mei'er finally bit me to death, and was killed by the emperor's cane, I didn't ask who wanted to do this to me, Sister-in-law, you are outside the palace, and you are good at checking people's understanding, you think about it for me, whether I have quietly offended the person who can instruct Mei'er. ”

"No wonder you were so worried when I came in that it was going to rain on your gloomy face. But don't worry too much, she has hurt you, not once, there will definitely be a next time, but as long as it hurts people, there will definitely be horses' feet, this Mei'er, is already a dead move, that person will relax some vigilance in his heart, you, be cautious in your actions, we can't find the hand hiding behind, we have to accumulate strength, and when the hand is stretched out, grab her. If you want to say that you are the person you asked, I have heard of your name since I was in the boudoir, and it is even louder than the Queen's niece, the Lord of Cheshire, who is used to coming out of the Queen's family. Your mother-in-law takes care of you and maintains your reputation very carefully, except for the palace banquet, you almost never appear at other banquets, but in the ears of outsiders, there are always rumors about you, but most of them say that you are a smart and demure woman, and you are the one who wants to marry the prince. The people you said were hostile to you, and even robbed of your light, not to mention one or two, that Chai Bi Jun, and the Cheshire Lord had to hate you so much. However, these people are all young ladies of the big family, and it's not a big deal, so why should they harm you? ”

Xinyue listened to it, and felt that what Cao Shi said was also very reasonable, although he couldn't sit still, but he could first act as if nothing had happened, pretend not to know, and then arrange some traps, maybe it would be more rewarding, but Xinyue never realized his existence, and for others, it was such a sad thing "Sister-in-law, my brother should be able to go home in ten days, Your Majesty's will, I am looking for it, and I will come down, and it will be difficult for a while in the future, but now it is also temporary, the Queen Mother has promised me, I'll find an opportunity to intercede for my brother. ”

"Really? It's good that your brother can go home, and it's not too bad for a good day to be a bad day, as long as our family is together. Cao Shi reached out and touched Xinyue's cheek, but saw that she was still frowning, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xinyue thought about it, since the Cao family was her own family, she thought for a while, and told the Cao family that the Queen Mother was going to marry Jiang Yang for herself.

After hearing this, Cao's mouth didn't close in surprise for a long time, "I, I really didn't expect it, how old is General Jiang Yangjiang this year?" ”

Xinyue expected her to be like this, and said sullenly, "There is a teenage boy in Chinese New Year's Eve this year, listen to the Queen Mother, if it were not for the prince's affairs, he would have been knighted this year, he is a very capable and down-to-earth person." ”

"The queen mother said that a good person must be good, that is good, that sister-in-law will personally prepare for you this time, you can rest assured, although your sister-in-law is not as experienced as your aunt, and there have been some changes in the family, but sister-in-law will not wronged you, although, although it is a second marriage, sister-in-law will definitely make you beautiful."

"Sister-in-law, I treat you as a family member, so I'll say something from my heart to you, I don't want to marry again, I don't expect anything from men, I just want to live my life by myself."

"In a few days, you will only be twenty years old, how can you say it like a withered old woman?"

Xinyue nodded, "I want to be a withered old woman, so that no one will come to provoke me." ”

"Sister-in-law won't let you say that. Although we women have been taught since we were children, from the beginning to the end, my sister-in-law can see that you have not obeyed him Yu Xiaowangye, and you do not regard him as your husband. Therefore, my sister-in-law wants you to meet that, and you are willing to follow and accompany him, just like, just like your eldest brother, even if he is demoted to the stable to feed the horses today, as the wife of the groom, as long as I can follow him, I am willing. Cao Shi looks at it this way, she is a very transparent and intelligent person, at this moment, the firmness in her face and words is incomprehensible to Xinyue, but I have to admit that she was really moved by Xinyue.

Xinyue nodded, "I'll think about it, it's just that General Jiang may not want to marry me, don't you say that he and his wife have a very firm relationship." ”

"Yes, it is said that personnel have two sides, when the couple just got married, but a pair of resentful couples, General Jiang ignored his wife coldly and ignored the whole Jinling everyone knows, several of his side rooms, dare to kick the nose in the face, the two have been married for ten years, the first five years have not said a word at all, later, for some reason, the two suddenly got good again, love like a young couple who have just gotten married, in and out of pairs, even General Jiang went out on the expedition, and asked Mrs. to quietly follow outside the station, and when he was free, he went out of the camp to see Mrs., In the end, the good days didn't take long, the lady was sick first, who knew that the illness was worse and worse, and the child was getting weaker and weaker, and finally died in childbirth, after the death of the lady, General Jiang's whole person collapsed, and he was depressed for several years. Xinyue listened with a little surprise, it turned out that Jiang Yang and his wife still had such a past.

Subsequently, Xinyue sorted out her thoughts and said, "Sister-in-law, how many people can you love in this life?" Look at General Jiang, he just loves one, but he is so tired that he lost half his life, what can I hope for? The Queen Mother said that he must be a man who can be entrusted for life, be good to me, and let me rely on, but Rong Xu is not, it's just... It's just that if something happens, such as someone wants to frame me and slander me, because he doesn't love me, he won't think about me in his heart, he will doubt me, and even ignore me, let me be harmed by calculations, if this is the result I want, why should I waste all my strength and break free from my marriage with Rong Xu? ”

Cao didn't understand much, because these things were things that she had never thought about for her, and she could feel it, which was what Xinyue longed for, "If you have other plans, my sister-in-law can't say that she fully supports you, but she must not stop you." ”

"With the words of my sister-in-law, I am relieved." As she spoke, Crescent Moon laughed.

Cao Shi felt warm in her heart, this is the crescent moon she has never seen, and she is in her heart, the new moon that she has been longing for "acceptance" and "acceptance", you will definitely find your happiness. ”

"I don't have any ambitions, I hope that as long as I can live my life comfortably, I can live up to my father, my mother and my life."

"That's enough, I also hope, Minhui, Mincong is enough." Speaking of his own children, Cao's eyes are even more gentle.

promised the Queen Mother, Xinyue also had her own idea in her heart, so she decided to meet this Jiang Yang in person, he had a way to let Mrs. Zhuang for so many years fail to marry him, there must be a way to refuse this marriage.

Otherwise, as long as he doesn't agree, who can force him to bow his head?

Thinking about it like this, Xinyue was thinking about how to meet this busy man, General Jiang.

On this day, Xinyue went out to buy cloth according to what she had agreed with the two girls before, and this time she learned to be obedient, put on a hat, and the purse sachet and other things on her body, if she can not bring it, she will not bring it.

Beifu, the name of the founding queen Zhang, lived on this street when she was alive and did not marry Taizu. Moreover, when entering Jinling, the soldiers were strictly ordered not to move a single soldier of the people in the city. At that time, the tyranny of the previous dynasty made the people miserable, and the people in Jinling City gathered on this street to welcome the soldiers led by Empress Zhang and enter the city from the north city gate, and this street also had this name.

Because Queen Beifu is a woman, but she led the troops to fight and made great contributions to the establishment of the country, therefore, since the founding of the country, the requirements of the great saint for women are not so pedantic, and women are relatively free.

This street is also the most prosperous street except for the main road, Suzaku Street, and in addition to the prosperity, because there are some shops along the street that buy daily necessities and snacks, so it seems to be particularly fireworks.

And the cloth shop they came to today is the Jinyun Pavilion, the cloth village with the best reputation on Beifu Street.

As soon as they entered the store, the shrewd and clean grandmother who was the same as Liubao Zhai received them, "Girl, what do you need?" ”

"Our girl wants some materials for autumn and winter clothes, what are you good about, pick one for our girl."

"Yes, the girl, please go upstairs, and the little one will be sent up." So saying, the mother-in-law asked a little maid with a double bun and clean clothes to lead the way for the new moon, and the new moon followed her up to a side room with a long table for the selected cloth.

As soon as I sat down, someone knocked on the door, and the little maid said, "It's Mama Quan who has brought material to the girl." ”

"Bring it in." Crescent Road.

After the door opened, Mama Quan and four or five mothers-in-law behind her, a total of three or three twos hugged more than a dozen cloths of different colors for the new moon. At a glance, the new moon took a fancy to a pale crimson brocade cloth.

"The girl has good eyesight, this is the only one horse this year, the red on it, the atmosphere and a little delicate color, the most suitable for young women to wear, last year's five horses, only one day was sold clean, this year has not been placed on the market, if the girl likes it, you have to hurry up." After hearing what Mama Quan said, Xinyue reached out and touched the material, if it is embroidered with silver climbing branches and made into a robe, the sister-in-law will definitely like it very much.

Xinyue nodded, and Feng'er said, "It's settled." ”

"Yes," she said, and Mama Quan ordered someone to put the crimson brocade cloth on another table.

Look again, there is a black horse mixed with dark silk woven with silver threads, if you make a long coat with a climbing collar for the eldest brother, it must be very suitable for him, so Xinyue pointed to this piece of cloth "This, two"

"Yes"

"Girl, this lake-blue silk is very suitable for you." Saying that, Fei'er pulled this faint lake-blue dress, and compared it with Xinyue's body, sure enough, her skin was as white as fat, and Xinyue also liked it a little, and when Fei'er saw Xinyue's expression, she said to Quan Mama, "Mama, you can tell me, what's good about this material, our girl heard it, maybe she bought it." ”

"Oops, this is not a Huzhou satin that has been ordered, how did you bring it to the girl." As soon as Mama Quan looked carefully, her face changed, she immediately pulled up the fabric, looked at it, and said in surprise, and then immediately said to Xinyue accompanying, "Please forgive me, it's all small and not careful, this Huzhou satin has been set by the county lord girl of the Chai family, and it was put in front of the girl's eyes, it really shouldn't be, and please forgive the girl." ”

Xinyue heard that this grandmother was very good at talking, and first told herself to forgive, and then brought out the master of the clothes, and suppressed herself, so that she did not dare to embarrass her because she was afraid of the prestige of the Lord of Cheshire.

Naturally, she didn't want to embarrass the grandmother, so she nodded, "This piece of cloth, just give it to the Lord of Cheshire, and settle the account with these in a while, and then you can send someone to her house." This aqua-red satin is a rarity, Cheeky. ”

"Yes" Feng'er picked out the satin of the crescent moon finger and handed it to the mother-in-law.

The appearance of Xinyue when nothing happened, so that this Quan Mama was really unsure of who this moody and extraordinary girl was, and she wanted to give away this expensive Huzhou satin, Quan Mama couldn't help but ask, "Girl, dare to ask who your surname is, when you send the cloth to the Cheshire Lord's Mansion, the little ones also have an explanation." ”

"You just say, this is a gift from Miss Xu." Feng'er spoke, and Xinyue also nodded, "That's it, these materials are enough, let's go." ”

Saying that, Xinyue was supported by Fei'er and slowly went downstairs, and Feng'er naturally stayed behind to settle the bill. As soon as she walked to the carriage, Xinyue heard a sentence behind her ear again, "Xu Hounu, slow down." ”

When Crescent Moon turned around, she saw a woman in plain clothes, a silver hairpin, and a hat, and stopped herself, and Crescent Moon recognized from her voice that she was the Lord of Cheshire who had given her cloth.

This Cheshire Lord, nine out of ten this year, was first regarded as a candidate for the crown princess, delayed for a while, and then the marriage was not smooth, and he went to the house, but he put a good girl at home.

Chai Bijun is a beautiful, generous, very elegant woman, Xinyue heard her call herself, and returned the salute with her, "I have seen the county lord." ”

"Lady Xu, you are the daughter of the eldest princess, even if you don't have the title of county lord, you are more noble than the prince's county lord, why should you be so polite to me." Chai Bijun's words, there is no problem at all, but it is not a comfortable feeling, Xinyue frowned when she heard this, this gun with a stick, she didn't seem to have provoked her, so Xinyue smiled and said, "I am noble or not, I don't know, it's just that the position of your county lord is here, naturally, you want to get a gift from me, I don't know what the Lord of Cheshire asked me to do?" ”
