Chapter 250: A Visit with Ulterior Motives
And the girls who followed up were blocked by Wen Rongxian before they stepped into the inner room.
Then Chun Tao quickly closed the door, and Yun Yao, who was pretending to be Jiang Yuanliu, immediately lifted her gauze hat, looked at Wen Rongxian with a sad face, and said with pleading eyes: "Miss, next time, don't let the slave pretend to be Miss Biao, the slave and maid are scared half to death along the way, if someone finds out that the slave's life will be gone." ”
Wen Rongxian only smiled lowly, then raised his hand and nodded Yun Yao's forehead, and said angrily: "You little girl, you dare to talk to me about the conditions here, why don't you go to the door and guard it, don't let others in." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the bedside with Chun Tao, and when he saw that Jiang Yuanliu was asleep at this time, the two of them were relieved.
"The slave thanked Miss Cousin for saving her life today." Chun Tao carefully inspected Jiang Yuanliu's body, and after seeing that there was no damage, he really put his mind at ease, and then knelt down to Wen Rongxian to thank him.
Wen Rongxian frowned slightly at Chun Tao's appearance, his face was a little unhappy, and then he immediately picked up Chun Tao, looked at Jiang Yuanliu and said softly: "What kind of life-saving grace is this today?" Did Liu Er help the Auxiliary Mansion before? Okay, I should go back now, and you can serve Liu'er alive. When she woke up, she told me that I would come to see her another day. ”
"Yes. The slave sent Miss Watch out. Chun Tao blessed her body, and sent Wen Rongxian to the door, and then returned to the inner room.
Carefully helped Jiang Yuanliu remove the bead hairpin earrings on her head, and after removing the coat on her body, she brought a basin of warm water to wipe her cheeks and hands.
It's just that after seeing Jiang Yuanliu's clean face, Chun Tao's heart was full of doubts, why are the red spots on Miss's face gone?
It's just that seeing that Jiang Yuanliu was sleeping soundly at this time, Chun Tao could only put down the gauze tent on the side and quietly exited the inner room.
After everything in the inner room was quiet again, Gu Jinshu slowly walked out of the screen, lifted the corner of the light veil and sat on the edge of the bed.
Reaching out and caressing Jiang Yuanliu's cheeks, the soft fingertips slid on the delicate and silky cheeks, looking at her in her sleep, she couldn't help frowning, Gu Jinshu couldn't help but bend his lips and smile.
A silver key slipped out of the sleeve of her right hand and gently put it into Jiang Yuanliu's hand, then she withdrew her hand and stood up, tucked the quilt for her and left the courtyard......
On the second day, Jiang Yuanliu woke up faintly, Chun Tao was wiping the table lightly at this time, and after seeing Jiang Yuanliu get up, his face was happy, and he immediately put down the things in his hand and came to the bed and asked softly: "Miss, you are awake." ”
Jiang Yuanliu only felt a faint pain in his forehead now, probably because of the pill yesterday, so he stroked his forehead and nodded slightly, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”
"Miss, are you still uncomfortable, the slave maid will rub it for you." Seeing Jiang Yuanliu's gentle forehead, Chun Tao asked with a worried face, "The slave maid is going to ask for Dr. Xiao Chen now." ”
"No need, you wait for me to get up now. Today's body is no longer hot, and my spirit is much better than yesterday, so I only need to rest for a few days. With that, Jiang Yuanliu went down to the ground.
'Ding Dong. A crisp voice landed on the ground from when Jiang Yuanliu got up.
Chun Tao looked for the sound, and saw an extremely delicate silver key on the ground, and quickly picked it up and handed it to Jiang Yuanliu.
Jiang Yuanliu took the key that Chun Tao handed to him, this key is made of sterling silver, not at all like those relatively large keys on weekdays, this key looks extremely small and chic, but it has a unique flavor.
"Miss, what is this?" Chun Tao asked puzzledly, there should be no such a unique key in the Guogong Mansion, even the key to the treasury has a certain size, and it is the first time she has seen such a small key today.
But Jiang Yuanliu directly put the key into his sleeve, if nothing else, it must have been handed over to her by Gu Jinshu last night while he was asleep.
Chun Tao saw that Jiang Yuanliu had already walked to the dresser and sat down, so she immediately waited for her to dress up.
Suddenly remembering the greeting post brought by Aunt Tang before, he immediately turned around and took it and handed it to Jiang Yuanliu and said, "Miss, this was sent by Aunt Tang before, saying that the lady of the Yuanguo Mansion will bring Miss Yan to visit our Prime Minister's Mansion."
In addition, there are many invitations, saying that they invite the young lady to come to the house. Oh, by the way, today, the housekeeper received many congratulatory gifts from other places, saying that they congratulated the young lady and the little marquis on being married by the emperor. ”
Jiang Yuanliu took the greeting post sent by Aunt Tang, and after opening it, he saw the small characters on it that immediately made people's eyes shine, it seems that this Yuanguo Mansion is coming with a purpose today.
"What about the gifts?" Since they are all given to themselves, they naturally can't be swallowed by others.
"Aunt Tang put it all in the welcome living room in the name of Miss, and it didn't go through Madame's hand, and now she is waiting for Miss to go and collect it." Chun Tao held a comb in her hand, carefully combed Jiang Yuanliu's smooth hair, and then skillfully curled her hair into a bun with both hands, and picked up a few pearl hairpins that Jiang Yuanliu loved every day and put them on her hair.
"Oh, by the way, miss, this is something that the little marquis asked the housekeeper to personally send over early in the morning, and please take a look." Jiang Yuanliu took the heavy-looking mahogany box in Chun Tao's hand, the box was locked with an extremely small silver lock, Jiang Yuanliu took out the key in his sleeve and put it into the keyhole and twisted it gently.
'Click. The silver lock was indeed opened by itself.
Jiang Yuanliu opened the lid of the box and saw that all the boxes inside were priceless jewelry.
"Yikes. No wonder there is a lock on this wooden box, it turns out that the contents are so valuable. Chun Tao looked at the priceless jewelry inside and said in a low voice of surprise.
But Jiang Yuanliu didn't make a fuss like her, but looked at the jewelry inside.
I found that these pieces of jewelry are not the most popular styles in Kyoto today, but if I looked closely, I found that even the luster on them had become slightly dull after a long period of baptism.
However, no matter how many people's hands these pieces of jewelry have passed through, it can be seen from the patterns carved on them alone that these pieces of jewelry are not for anyone to wear.
And today Gu Jinshu sent these to herself, probably because she was worried that she would not be able to deal with some high-ranking and powerful people, so she should wear these to press the scene.
With such an analysis, Jiang Yuanliu raised his hand to take off the extremely elegant orchid hosta, and then randomly picked out a winged phoenix hairpin in the dresser, and asked Chun Tao to insert it in the right bun for her.
"Miss's dress is more noble than usual." Chun Tao looked at Jiang Yuanliu, who was extravagant in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but smile, her young lady was too plain on weekdays, but she made others look down on her.
And Jiang Yuanliu only smiled faintly, then stood up and sat down at the table, Chun Tao served her with some light breakfast, and saw Aunt Tang walking in in a hurry.
"I've seen the eldest lady." Seeing that Jiang Yuanliu was rinsing her mouth, Aunt Tang waited respectfully to the side, not as anxious as when she came in.
"Auntie, why are you here?" After wiping his hands clean, Jiang Yuanliu asked people to withdraw their breakfast, picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip lightly, and then spoke.
Although Tang Wan was quite anxious in her heart, she was still very respectful when facing Jiang Yuanliu, and she would not urge Cui Jiang Yuanliu, everything was waiting for Jiang Yuanliu to ask questions before she spoke.
Seeing Jiang Yuanliu asking, she said with a smile: "Back to the eldest lady, the lady of the Yuanguo Mansion is now visiting with Miss Chang, and she is chatting with the old lady at this moment." Mama Ke is now the maids-in-law, counting the congratulatory gifts in the living room, and the slave maid will come over to invite the young lady over now. ”
Aunt Tang's words hide three meanings, one is to explain that the lady of the Yuanguo Mansion brought the young lady to visit today, and now she has entered the courtyard.
The second is to show that these two people have now been invited into her courtyard by the old lady without making a claim, and the third is to show that the old lady has not asked people to invite Jiang Yuanliu over.
Jiang Yuanliu comprehended in an instant, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seems that this old lady is really Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten.
The old lady is not Jiang Fengmao's biological mother, but the wife of the main house of her grandfather, so Jiang Fengmao only respects her, but because she is not her own, the old lady does not treat Jiang Yuanliu's granddaughter very well.
On the contrary, he was quite concerned about the grandsons of his mother's family, and a few days ago, he actually received the Guogong Mansion to live together, and Jiang Fengmao couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
It's just that this old lady's face is too thick, and she is always making up her mind that she wants to pave the way for Zhao Qixian's three brothers and sisters.
"Aunt Tang, all the congratulatory gifts from various provinces have been sent into the courtyard, remember not to let someone swallow them privately. Go, don't keep your grandmother waiting. Since the other party is so anxious, then he naturally can't let them succeed, so wouldn't he be too sorry for the play they played.
When Aunt Tang saw Jiang Yuanliu say this, a smile quickly flashed in her eyes, and then she took the order and left.
"Miss, this Mama Ke is really too presumptuous, she dares to move Miss's things, and she loses ......" Chun Tao's remaining words were frightened by Jiang Yuanliu's eyes and immediately swallowed into her stomach.
Jiang Yuanliu said with a sneering face: "These people have always recognized money and not people, and they can manage only one hundred taels for a while, how can they manage one life?" ”
In this world, there are a few people like Mama Zhang and others, who can even ignore their own lives for the comfort of their masters, and Mama Zhang destroyed one of her own eyes in order to protect her mother's relics from being snatched away by others.
