Chapter 036: Trap
Pei Jiao lost weight, and his face was as pale as paper.
I have to say that Pei Jiao is really worried day and night these days, and he can't sleep if he can't eat well.
She understood that if her relationship with Gu Yaolian was really estranged, the Ji family would definitely dislike her, and even the people in the third room would not care for her in everything as before.
Pei Jiao didn't want to obey Aunt Ren's arrangement, and didn't want to marry an ordinary businessman or become a talented lady.
If she has to marry, she must marry someone like Jiang Wensheng and Liu Jue, so that she can raise her eyebrows in the Bofu.
"Sister, I really know it's wrong." Pei Jiao apologized to Gu Yaolian in a low voice, "I will do whatever my sister says in the future." Sister, don't ignore me. ”
"If it weren't for my sister helping me in secret, how would I have lived so leisurely? Sister, I'll never have any more dealings with the Liu family in the future, really. ”
While talking about how pitiful her life experience was, she also mentioned her sisterly relationship with Gu Yaopian in the past.
Gu Yaolian didn't answer, but Xiangwei, who was following behind Gu Yaolian, was about to roll her eyes.
In these years, is it true that whoever pities them will take advantage of them?
Xiangming looked at Xiangwei's appearance and couldn't help but smile.
Gu Yaolian didn't speak all the way, and Pei Yao's heart was even more bottomless.
"Sister, will I come to the hot spring with you later?" Pei Jiao finally couldn't help but ask, "Just me and you, our sisters have a good conversation." ”
Gu Yaolian looked at Pei Jiao, and Pei Jiao's eyes were full of guilt, but full of sincerity.
"Good!" Gu Yaolian replied, "Wait for you to come to me." ”
Pei Jiao finally cried with joy when he heard this, "I knew that my sister wouldn't really ignore me, and I knew that you were the most kind." ”
After Pei Jiao finished speaking, he wiped his tears happily, "I'll come to my sister later, I'll go to the kitchen to make my sister's favorite lotus seed cake." ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Gu Yaolian a chance to refuse, turned around and ran.
Guquanzhuang covers a small area, and there are a few apricot trees planted in the yard, because it is warmer than Yanjing City, and the people on the village have already picked the apricots, leaving only the withered yellow leaves on the branches.
Gu Yaolian lived in the spacious West Garden, while Aunt Ren, Pei Jiao and Ji were surprisingly crowded in the South Garden.
I heard people say that Aunt Ren felt that Nanyuan was close to the hot spring pool, so she didn't come to Xiyuan.
But in the eyes of people who don't know, I don't know if Gu Yaolian is domineering, or the Pei family dotes on Gu Yaolian.
The people on the Zhuangzi had already cleaned up the house, and after Xiangwei poured a glass of water for Gu Yaolian, she asked Gu Yaolian, "Why does the girl still take care of the third lady?" ”
"If it weren't for her, how could the Jiang family brother come to our Chang'an Courtyard without permission? Fortunately, Mother Zhong was smart, and only said that the son of the Jiang family helped Mrs. Shen send things to Miss, so she didn't fall into the mouth. ”
Xiangwei could see that this matter was inappropriate, and Wang Ruolan and Mother Zhong naturally understood.
This is also the reason why they snubbed Pei Jiao.
Pei Jiao's heart is not correct.
"They all grew up in Bofu, and they can't tear their faces when they look up and don't see them down, right?" Gu Yaolian said, "Besides, this time it was Aunt Ren who invited us to Zhuangzi, it's not too stiff." ”
"Xiangwei, you go and ask the people in Zhuangzi if there are any doctors who are good at acupuncture in the vicinity these days."
Since she wants to make a play, she has to do a full set.
Xiang Wei's heart was big, and she was quickly distracted, she nodded and went out to inquire about the news.
As soon as Xiangwei left, Xiangming lowered her voice and said, "This time it was Mama Yu who followed the eldest lady to Zhuangzi." ”
It's not the smart Mama He.
Gu Yao smiled pitifully, "I'm afraid it's going to be lively today." ”
Xiangming nodded, "Twelve will be here, miss, don't worry." ”
"Hmm." Gu Yaolian naturally believed in Yuan Twelve, after all, this person became his uncle's right-hand man a few years later.
If he didn't have the ability, how could his uncle reuse him.
When Gu Yaolian finished lunch, Xiangwei came back.
"I heard Zhuang Tou say that there was a doctor who was good at acupuncture before, but it was half a year ago, and this doctor had already left." Xiang sighed slightly, "I heard that it was invited by the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, and it was for the old lady to administer needles." ”
Gu Yaopian was not surprised, "It's a pity." ”
"It's a pity, we're late." Xiangwei seemed to remember something happy, "But the slave maid heard that there are green plums in Li Zhuang, which is not far from us." ”
"Now Li Zhuang's steward is Mama Lan, and she often comes to Mama Lan in our house!"
Xiangwei said, saliva about to flow out.
It's no wonder that Xiangwei is so greedy for green plums, this thing was once a tribute, and it was cultivated for decades before they could grow in Yanjing.
However, this green plum has a very sour taste.
"Who told you that?" Gu Yao smiled pitifully, "I also listened to you, so I knew that there are green plums in this Li Village!" ”
"It's Aunt Fang from the kitchen." Xiangwei said, "She and Mama Lan often come and go, and I heard that Miss likes sour fruits, so she told me." ”
If she remembers correctly, the people of this Fang family were recommended by Mama He to enter the mansion back then.
Mama He is really leaky.
Mama Lan used to be Shen Xi's personal grandmother, and she came to Li Zhuang because she was old and retired here.
If Gu Yaolian asked for some green plums, Mama Lan would definitely send them in person.
It's just that Mama Lan's legs and feet are inconvenient, and when Mama Lan arrives here, I'm afraid I'll have to talk to her.
What will you bump into?
What does Dafang want Mama Lan to see?
"Go for it." Gu Yaolian thought for a while, "I'm also hungry for this sour taste." ”
"But you have to tell Mama Lan that it is for Aunt Ren and Mrs. Ren, otherwise people will laugh at me for being unruly and greedy."
"The slave knows!" When it comes to eating, Xiangwei's smile can't be hidden.
Not long after Xiangwei left, Ji's side got the news.
"Go." Mama Yu said to Ji's, "Yuan Twelve and Xiangwei went to Li Zhuang together." ”
"From here to Lizhuang, if the foot is fast, it will take more than half an hour. Ma'am, should we ......?"
"Wait a little longer." Ji Shi remembered Mama He's instructions, "Mama Lan's legs and feet are inconvenient, she must not have come here so quickly." ”
"I want her to see it with her own eyes, and then tell Shen Xi in person."
Ji couldn't help but laugh out loud as he spoke, "How can you say that Wang Ruolan still has the face to defend Shen Xi?" ”
"You, go to Xiyuan now." Ji Shi said to Pei Jiao, "After this matter is done, I will naturally reward you heavily, and I will also help you get a good family affair." ”
"If you can't do it...... I will send you to the lowest kiln, and you will be tortured to death. ”
It's not the first time that Ji has threatened Pei Jie, Pei Jiu has long been used to hearing this.
But this time, Pei Jiao realized that if she really couldn't do it, the Ji family would really make her worse than death.
Her bet this time was too big, and she also gambled on Aunt Ren's trust and the chance that Sanfang gave her again.
"Don't worry, ma'am." Pei Ji said, "I will definitely do it!" ”
