Chapter 111: Inquiry
Chang Ke is not as big as Wang Xi's heart, although she is not a person who likes to talk about right and wrong behind her back, but when it comes to Wang Xi's safety, she still said in a low voice: "The Xiangyang Marquis Mansion is not profitable and can't afford to be early, so let's be careful." lest you be wronged. This kind of thing has not been done by the Marquis of Xiangyang. ”
Wang Xi comforted Chang Ke and said, "That's also profitable?" What do I have to offer them? Besides, the women of the house, coming and going are just those means, and we are not fools, beware of them, there will always be fewer chances of being fooled. ”
That's right.
Chang Ke doesn't have a foil on weekdays, and it is inevitable that he will think about difficulties when he encounters things. Wang Xi is different from her. Even if the Xiangyang Hou Mansion has any calculations, it depends on whether the parents agree or not?
When she thought about it, her heart quieted down, and she remembered something else. She smiled and pulled Wang Xi aside, and said, "Then you tell me the truth, is that little pear flower really Chen Luo invited you?" ”
Wang Xi didn't hide it from her, and admitted it generously.
Chang Ke was stunned and said, "How could he do such a thing?" You know, he's notoriously cold-hearted and cold-hearted. Is there anything else involved between you? ”
The more she spoke, the widening of her eyes: "Could it be that Chen Luo really has any careful thoughts about you?" He also helped you beat Bo Mingyue? Bo Mingyue gave you a car of apologies! ”
As she spoke, her mouth widened, and she looked Wang Xi up and down, looking like she was going to re-examine her.
Wang Xi laughed and laughed, knowing that Chang Ke had misunderstood, but there were some things she could say, but some things she couldn't say. She had no choice but to apologize for Bo Mingyue's gift, Chen Luo helped her invite Xiao Lihua to sing in the hall, and asked him to help again.
Chang Ke didn't believe it at all. She muttered: "This is neither like what Bo Mingyue would do, nor like what Chen Luo would do, could it be that these two people have collided with evil?" Bo Mingyue, I'm not sure, but Chen Luo, I know. He kicked his brother-in-law to Chengzhou Wei a few days ago, he is not a kind person! ”
Wang Xi didn't like to hear this, she argued: "You also said that you have only seen the Chen brothers from a distance, and have not been in contact with them, what kind of person is Chen Ying?" What kind of person is Chen Luo? It's all hearsay. How did the eldest aunt of the Chen family go to Chengzhou Wei, do you dare to pat your chest and guarantee that Chen Luo can't do it? Who did you listen to when he kicked his brother-in-law to Chengzhou Wei? ”
Chang Ke blushed and did not speak.
Wang Xi thought, although people's words are terrifying, but I can argue one by one, but I can't ignore them because of my weak words. She simply took Chang Ke's hand and said softly: "We are all older now, we must not say whatever we want like when we were children." I have been in contact with Chen Luo, and he is not bad, but I think that even if he kicked his brother-in-law to Chengzhou Wei, wouldn't there be a Zhenguo Gong? He, who is a father-in-law, is silent, what do we have to hold upon! But that's the reason, you say? ”
Chang Ke frowned, and said after a while: "Ah Xi, you are right. Zhenguo Gong is in a high position, and he loves Sister Jue like a treasure, even if Chen Luo let Jue's brother-in-law go to Chengzhou Wei as others rumored, with the ability of Zhenguo Gong, he will get people back. ”
But the eldest aunt of the Chen family still went to Chengzhou Wei, which shows that things are not as others have rumored.
She said to Wang Xi with some embarrassment: "I really shouldn't say that about Chen Luo. ”
Wang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, took Chang Ke's arm, and said with a smile: "Ouch, we are reading small poems to worry about the ancients, what does it matter to us?" Let's think about what to wear when we go to Egawa's house, okay? ”
Chang Ke nodded.
The two laughed and walked away.
Behind the flower wall where they were standing, two people came out, one was wearing a cane, her hair was like silver but her face was ruddy, and her eyes were blazing, she was the lady of the Marquis of Qingping. The other has a loving face and a dignified appearance, but it is Mrs. Jiang Chuan, who was surrounded by everyone before.
Mrs. Qingping Hou said with a smile: "This little girl is interesting, she actually defended the second junior of the Chen family, do you know whose junior is so beautiful." ”
Mrs. Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "It's the daughter of the second girl who was lost in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, I saw it at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Baoqing, and our family Ling'er and your family Zhu'er can play together, and I should go to greet you when I leave." ”
Mrs. Qingping nodded with a smile, she didn't care about these juniors, but a trace of gloom flashed between her eyebrows, and said, "You say, what does the emperor want to do?" Shouldn't he be like the first emperor, when he is old, he is confused, right? If you don't set up a prince, you will love your concubine, this is a precursor to a faint king! ”
Mrs. Jiang Chuan had long been accustomed to her speaking bluntly in front of her, and sighed: "Who knows! We can only take one step at a time. ”
did not feel uncomfortable because the first emperor was criticized as rumored.
"Fortunately, both of us have their own benefits." She said with some bitterness, "Your family is a large ship with a lot of people and a stable stand, but our family is a small boat with few people and a small boat, so it is good to turn around." I can only look at the moves. ”
Mrs. Qingping snorted coldly, and walked towards the stage with Mrs. Jiang Chuan.
But there was not even a little maid behind him.
*
Wang Xi naturally didn't know what happened after she and Chang Ke left, she followed Miss Wu Er to bid farewell to Mrs. Tai of the Qingping Marquis Mansion before leaving, Mrs. Tai treated her very kindly, and specially said a few words to her.
Mrs. Yongcheng Hou was quite surprised, and looked at Wang Xi again and again, and Wang Xi thought that the makeup on her face was inappropriate.
Mrs. Hou smiled and didn't explain, and said to Mama Pan on the carriage back to the house: "Miss Wang Jiabiao is a blessed person, she can even say a few words in front of Mrs. Hou of Qingping." Much better than her mother. ”
Chang Ning, who was in the same car, sneered and said, "It's just a little bit of color......"
Mrs. Hou couldn't hear her, so she immediately interrupted her daughter's complaint coldly and said, "Good color is also a kind of luck." If you are not convinced, dress up well, overwhelm the crowd, and compare Miss Wang to the bottom. Such a yin and yang weirdness, apart from making people feel funny, what else can be good? ”
Chang Ning thought of her mother's threat about marriage, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't say anything more.
This is all later, now Wang Xi has just come out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and he was chased up from behind by the fifth lady and the second wife who came to participate in the banquet of the Qingping Marquis Mansion on behalf of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, and the second wife also said familiarly: "It can be seen that I have a fate with Miss Wang - we are shouting like 'Miss Wang' and 'Miss Wang', there are many people, Miss Wang probably doesn't know who she is calling, Miss Wang has to share a name with us." ”
The name of the young lady's family can not be easily revealed!
Chang Ke's words still left a mark on Wang Xi's heart, Wang Xi had no contact with this second wife, and she didn't like her very much just after hearing her words, she smiled and said: "It's useless for me to tell you!" Can you still call my name in public? ”
Talking but hiding needles in the cotton.
The second wife of the Xiangyang Houfu looked at her with a sweet smile with a somewhat delicate face, and the eight-faced delicate person was stunned for a few breaths.
Wang Xi didn't want to deal with them more, so he bowed his knees, pulled Chang Ke and ran: "The elders in the family are still waiting for me to return home, and I will salute you next time I have the opportunity." ”
"Hey......" The second wife looked at their backs as soon as they ran away, and didn't have a chance to say the second sentence.
The second wife stepped on her feet.
The fifth lady lowered her head and smiled from an angle that others couldn't see.

As soon as Wang Xi returned to the Yongcheng Marquis' Mansion, he sent someone to deliver the letter to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo was worried in his heart, and when he saw Wang Xi's letter, he didn't bother to spend two or three days making an appointment for a time and place, so he put the letter in his arms, and only responded with a "I know", and sent the person who sent the letter.
Wang Xi got the news, his brows furrowed so much that he could catch a dead mosquito.
The eldest lady of their family has never been neglected like this.
Doing business should have been the business of the masters, why did their eldest lady suffer this grievance.
Wang Xi had a fire in his heart.
Chen Luo climbed over the wall to see Wang Xi in the evening of the same day.
And he's even more casual this time than last time. Last time, he wore an official uniform, and he was well-dressed, but this time he simply wore a half-new plain lake-colored Hangzhou silk robe.
It was the first time Wang Xi had seen Chen Luo wear such a soft color, which made his expression a little softer, which made people feel easier to get close to than before, and it was also very good.
She looked appreciative, and still invited Chen Luo to drink tea under the grape trellis in the courtyard.
Chen Luo saw the appreciation of his appearance for the first time from Wang Xi's eyes, he was slightly surprised, and then remembered that when he went to the barracks when he was a child, he listened to those small flags and general flags talking about women, "It's not particularly beautiful, but after watching it for a long time, the more comfortable it becomes."
Most people are like this, after getting along for a long time, knowing what kind of person he is, the more they look at it, the more comfortable they become. This may be what the book says "in the eyes of the lover".
Chen Luo felt that Wang Xi looked at him most of the same.
Of course, this "lover's eye out of Xi Shi" metaphor is a little wrong, but Wang Xi is probably because he understands him, so he will see him more and more pleasing to the eye, right?
Chen Luo thought wildly, and felt that Wang Xi, who was wearing a very simple white summer cloth skirt and shaking a silk veil fan, was like a white peony, not only beautiful, but also quite cute.
She used to be standing in the crowd, and he didn't see it much.
It can be seen that people still have to get along more.
Wang Xi, who was opposite him, sighed, eager to shake his head.
She coughed heavily, pulled back Chen Luo's thoughts, who didn't know where the soul flew, and asked again: "Do you know that the emperor wants to deduct the military salary of the Marquis of Qingping?" ”
On the summer night of the willow shade garden, the shadows of the trees are abundant, and the sprinkled ground is still faintly filled with the heat after the high temperature of the day, mixed with the rich fragrance of hosta, jasmine and nightshade, revealing a bit of lazy comfort.
Chen Luo suddenly felt that it was such a good summer night, but they were talking about other people's affairs, and some of them burned the qin and cooked the crane to spoil the scenery.
But he just thought about it.
What should be said to be the right moment, he didn't know for a while.
Instinctively, he replied, "I already know about this." Master Yu told me. ”
