Chapter Seventy-Four: Dilemma

Wang Xi is not afraid of being watched.

Her family is a giant in the southwest, with a thriving family, and she grew up in the arms of her elders since she was a child, and she will be stared at by a large group of people wherever she goes.

Her grandfather said that only people who are not confident are afraid of being looked at.

Miss Bo Jialiu stared at her, not only did she not avoid or be shy, but she also generously replied to her with a smile, and took the initiative to greet her warmly: "I saw you at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Baoqing last time. But it's a little far away, I didn't have a chance to meet you, but I didn't expect to meet it in Jiangchuan Bofu, and we still have a lot of fate. ”

Miss Bo Liu was surprised by her initiative, and said with a smile: "It's quite fateful." I am from the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, and I am the sixth among the sisters in the family. I'm a few days older than Shi Zhu, and since you're Shi Zhu's cousin, you're definitely younger than me. If you don't dislike it, just like the second sister of the Wu family, call me the sixth sister. ”

This could be a nickname in the home.

This sixth lady is quite generous.

Wang Xi smiled and shouted "Sixth Sister".

Miss Bo Liu responded with a smile, and affectionately invited Wang Xi to sit in the pavilion next to her, and said, "I also brought some osmanthus cakes and Dingsheng cakes over, and Sister Wang tasted whether they were suitable for the taste." ”

When Bo Mingyue saw it, she muttered in a low voice on the side: "This is really a typical example of only allowing state officials to set fires, and not allowing people to light lamps." She said as if she was in charge of the people, and she didn't come to see my jokes. ”

Miss Bo Liu glared at Bo Mingyue helplessly when she heard this, turned her head and said to Wang Xi apologetically: "My seventh brother has such a temper, but he actually has no bad intentions. If he doesn't stand up to you, I apologize to you on his behalf. For the sake of him being beaten by Second Brother Chen, don't be like him. ”

Wang Xi felt that her grievances with Bo Mingyue had already been settled, Chen Luo helped her out, she had already earned it, where would she worry so much about Bo Mingyue.

She smiled and said, "Didn't he already apologize to me?" ”

Very generous look.

Miss Bo Liu nodded secretly, thanked Wang Xi repeatedly, and drove Bo Mingyue to drink tea elsewhere.

Bo Mingyue looked at Wang Xi resentfully, as if she was very unwilling that Wang Xi did not answer his words, which made Wang Xi laugh in her heart.

It turned out that today was the Jiangchuan Bofu to thank the Qingping Marquis Mansion for sending two cellars of winter ice, and set up a banquet to entertain the female relatives of the Qingping Marquis Mansion, and after the sixth lady of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion knew about it, she invited Wang Xi to come over as a guest in the name of Jiangchuan Bofu, and specially came to apologize to Wang Xi.

Isn't the Qingyun Marquis Mansion known as the most prominent family in the dynasty? Are the people in their family so humble?

Wang Xi was a little suspicious that this matter had something to do with Chen Luo.

It's a pity she has no evidence.

And it doesn't help to have evidence.

She can't just apologize to her because the Qingyun Marquis Mansion apologizes to her, so she won't accept it, right? Or is he yelling that he doesn't accept Chen Luo's protection?

What's the difference between that and those who don't admit it even if they get well?

Miss Wu Er is dressed more plainly today than going to the Baoqing Eldest Princess's Mansion to participate in the birthday feast, not to mention the simple clothes, only smearing some lipstick between her lips, and not even applying powder, but she looks very clean and neat.

She was a little embarrassed and said, "I was supposed to invite Miss Chang San to come and sit down, but unfortunately we didn't know that you would come beforehand, so we wronged her." When you go back, you should explain it to her. ”

What is there to blame for this.

Maybe she herself was called by Miss Bo Liu temporarily.

Wang Xi nodded with a smile and talked about the whereabouts of Chang Ke and the others: "I went to pay homage to Chang Sanye's Mrs. Yue, even if she knew that you invited her, she probably wouldn't be able to come." Then she changed the topic and asked about Dong Bing: "What, is it okay that Dong Bing in the capital has no budget?" ”

In the summer, when the weather is hot, the rich and noble families will take ice cubes to cool off the heat. These ice cubes are usually taken from the cold winter of Sanjiu and then stored in cellars until June.

For it must be stored in the first year, and it will be used in the second year. Therefore, the ice cellars in various places must be booked in advance, otherwise you will not be able to buy them if you have the money.

Jiang Chuanbo is not a meritorious family, if their family is short of ice, Wang Xi doubts that with the ability of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, he will probably have to suffer with the people of the Chang family this summer.

She didn't want to be steaming in a steamer every day in the summer.

6 Ling hurriedly said: "Not really. There are only those ice cellars in the capital, and the emperor doesn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, saying that he will spend the summer in the Qianqing Palace this year, and the nobles in the palace will definitely not leave the palace. ”

After speaking, she frowned a little unhappily and said, "Not only us, but also the concubines and ladies of Cining Palace, it is estimated that the ice supply will be halved this summer." I hope this summer is cooler than usual, otherwise how will this day be lived! ”

However, the Qingping Marquis Mansion sent two cellars of winter ice to Jiangchuan Bofu, which shows that no matter what time it is, there are special people and things.

Wang Xi felt that if this was the case, maybe their Wang family could borrow this east wind, as for how to borrow it, she didn't have the bottom in her heart for a while, and she was ready to take a step by step, and then talk about it.

It's just that this topic is open, and everyone can't help but discuss what to do this summer - originally they would follow the nobles in the palace out of the city to escape the summer, but now that the emperor is staying up in the capital, how can they get out of the city?

Wang Xi thought more.

Why doesn't the emperor go out of the city? Could it be related to his heart palpitations? What is Chen Luo doing? I'm not in a hurry to find a reliable doctor for the emperor to make a great contribution, but I am more energetic with spices, is it putting the cart before the horse or has something else to hide?

It's a pity that the Wang family is quite far away from the inner circle of the imperial court.

I don't know if any of the ladies here are insiders?

Wang Xi thought about it, and couldn't help but glance at a few young ladies.

Her gaze and Miss Bo Liu's gaze met unexpectedly in the air.

Miss Bo Liu seemed to have been quietly observing her.

She was very busy, but she didn't have time to play a guess and guess game with Miss Bo Liu. She simply smiled and asked Miss Bo Liu, "Does Sixth Sister have something to say to me?" Otherwise, why are you always staring at me? The sixth sister and I don't know each other, but the second sister of the Wu family knows me and likes to go straight to whatever she says.

"If you find it inconvenient here, why don't we go out and take a look outside the gazebo?"

Miss Bo Liu was surprised that Wang Xi was so straightforward, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said embarrassedly: "Didn't I see Sister Wang beautiful?" ”

The crowd laughed.

Wang Xi didn't believe half a word.

But if Miss Bo Liu doesn't say it, she shouldn't know what to do, what to say, what to say. Now that she has the initiative, Miss Bo Liu doesn't take the initiative to find her, she can let Miss Bo Liu hold what she wants to say in her stomach all the time.

As long as she can endure it, she can live her life without asking.

Wang Xi divided a little energy and laughed with 6 Ling, and finally waited until the banquet in Jiangchuan Bo's Mansion ended, and she was about to go home, but Miss Wu Er walked side by side with her to the sedan hall as if unintentionally, and quietly told her: "Bo Liu probably saw Chen Luo coming out for you, and wanted to know what the relationship between you and Chen Luo was?" ”

It turned out that the people of the Bo family didn't believe what she said at all.

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows.

Miss Wu Er laughed in a low voice: "Bo Liu's marriage is not easy to handle!" There are not many people who can look at each other, but I am afraid that the emperor will misunderstand that someone wants to form a party. Don't ask if it's worth the risk! ”

So, Miss Bo Jialiu took a fancy to Chen Luo?

This explains why Miss Bo Liu stared at her, and accompanied Bo Mingyue to apologize to her.

Wang Xi was quite embarrassed and felt that everyone's life was not very easy.

By the time she returned to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion to greet Mrs. Tai, Shi Zhu had already returned.

She saw Wang Xi go away as if she hadn't seen it.

Mrs. Tai's expression was slightly gloomy, and she wanted to speak again.

Wang Xicai didn't give Mrs. Tai a chance to speak, smiled and said a few words with Mrs. Tai, and told Mrs. Tai the reason why Jiangchuan Bofu invited her to be a guest, and also chattered about Miss Bo Liu and Miss Wu Jiaer asking her when she would move to Liuyin Garden and come to congratulate her on her housewarming.

"What kind of banquet do you think we're going to have?" She said with a flutter of eyebrows, "I don't know too much about the rules of the banquet in the capital. It's too luxurious, I'm afraid they think I'm too tasteless; It's too simple, and I'm afraid they think it's too simple. I thought to myself, although this banquet is only a matter between a few of us little girls, I still have to ask your old man and Mrs. Hou to help check it. Then there is the day of moving, which has to be decided early. I heard Miss Bo Liu say that the emperor will not go to Xishan for summer vacation this summer, and the banquet in the palace will definitely not be less, so don't collide with any nobleman.

She also said, "Shall we send someone to the palace to ask and see if there are any arrangements in the palace!" ”

Mrs. Tai's expression was a little dazed when she heard this, and said, "You said, Chen Luo beat Bo Mingyue because of you, this, is this true?" ”

"It should be true, right?" Wang Xi smiled, "This is what Bo Mingyue said herself." There's no way he's going to throw dirty water on himself, right? ”

Mrs. Tai didn't say anything when she heard this, and only after a while did she wave her hand at Wang Xi and signal her to retreat.

Wang Xi got up with a smile and saluted Mrs. Tai, and asked Mrs. Tai before leaving: "Miss Bo Liu is still waiting for me to reply, what should I do?" ”

"Then discuss it with your aunt." Mrs. Tai was a little embarrassed, "She knows best which people are feasting." ”

Wang Xi happily agreed to go out as if he didn't know anything.

But as soon as he went out, his face sank, and he said coldly to Bai Guo: "If you covet my yard, you have to have the ability to live in it." ”

Bai Guo guessed that Shi Zhu used Princess Fuyang to let Mrs. Tai call the shots for her and moved to Liuyin Garden to live.

But the eldest lady of their family is not a vegetarian.

Shi Zhu dared to fight the idea of their eldest lady's things, so she had to be prepared to pay the price.

But Wang Xi still didn't think it was interesting in the end.

In the hot evening, she wore a white striped gauze gown woven from Hangzhou silk, took the clairvoyant mirror given to her by her eldest brother at her request, and climbed up to the warm pavilion of the rockery in the back garden.

Lu Mingxuan next door was pitch black, only near the woods where she had met the eldest princess of Baoqing, there was a dim light in the wing, which looked a little lonely.

Their royal family would light lanterns under the eaves.

It is said that in this way, the snitches do not know which compound is inhabited by important people.

Lu Mingxuan is like this, like a target.

However, it can also be a trap.
