Chapter Ninety-Six: Don't Give Face
"Ancestor! Mother! Aren't you very busy in the house, why did you think about coming to see me? ”
Xiang Yeqi shouted to the old lady in an extremely exaggerated tone, this seemingly warm hug almost crushed the old lady Xiang's old bones, and she couldn't even breathe for a long time.
Bo Zhaoxu smiled knowingly, especially curious about what interesting things this woman could perform for him today.
"Grandmother doesn't come to see you, don't you know how to go back to see your grandmother?"
Before she could complain to the old lady, she coughed loudly, but she really didn't show mercy to the night, and the old lady Xiang really almost swallowed this breath, and it took a long time to react.
She was not polite, she sat in the guest seat generously, and in addition to "missing", she was full of arrangements for Xiang Yeqi's cold temperament: "How many days have you not been home to see since you went out?" Grandmother knew that Xiang Jia was down at the moment and couldn't help you, but she didn't expect that you didn't think about your old feelings at all. ”
"What educates the old lady." Bo Zhaoxu choked on the situation, "According to my father's intentions, I want this king to open up branches for the royal family as soon as possible, so it will be delayed." ”
The fact that Bo Zhaoxu protected Xiang Yeqi couldn't pretend to be stupid if Xiang Old Lady wanted to.
But Bo Zhaoxu also moved the old emperor out, what else could she say to the old lady? You can't disobey the will of the old emperor and put yourself in it......
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty said yes."
Xiang smiled flatteringly at the old lady.
"The old body came here today, firstly, a few days ago, I heard that the night girl returned to Beijing and tossed all the way, so I asked someone to find a few blood swallows to make up for the night girl, and sent it to Xiangfu this morning, and I sent it to her."
At this time, most of the blood swallows are offered into the palace, which is extremely difficult to find.
The price is enough for a headache, and it is very difficult to find, it can be said that there is no market, Bo Zhaoxu got a few to eat for Xiang Yeqi to eat, but this thing is very complementary, most of them are solid fetal blood when the fetus is safe, or the body is very weak, so I found one or two to make up for the body.
It's different for Mrs. Xiang, now that Xiang Mansion is declining, and the light of Xiang Ye's marriage to Bo Zhaoxu has given her three points of past brilliance, and she wants to get so many blood swallows...... That's really hard to get to the sky!
The maid accepted the gift in response, not as shocked as Xiang Lao Madam imagined, but made Xiang Lao Madam a little confused. She thought that after this servant saw the blood swallow, it should be similar to seeing some amazing treasure.
Bo Zhaoxu has never cut off the supply of all kinds of food to the night swallow, and there is nothing surprising about this blood swallow compared to it.
"Thank you for your grandmother's concern, but grandmother shouldn't have come to give gifts."
Xiang Yeqi can hear the words of the old lady clearly, since there is "one come", then there must be "two comes" and "three comes", and these first few purposes are just the foreshadowing left by the old lady first, and the last is the real purpose.
"If I don't come, will you even forget your father's birthday?" Xiang asked the old lady abruptly, "I can't even carry a letter, can I come to remind you personally?" ”
This made Xiang Yeqi asked, how did she know when the original owner's father was born?
Besides, she doesn't understand the rules of Huaguo, generally speaking, the birthday starts from the second year of the deceased's death, how can this ......
Xiang Yeqi frowned and prevaricated: "It's a little negligent to be busy, after all, when my father passed away not long, I still thought of my father as a general, and now I think about it......"
After that, Xiang Yeqi sighed, squeezed out a few more tears, and quietly pointed the finger back at the old lady.
Old Madam Xiang was a little speechless for a while, so she had to follow the rhythm of Xiang Yeqi: "This, this is not your fault...... Who told your dad to leave suddenly! Your father loved you the most when he was alive, and now he is about to celebrate his birthday, you should always come! I was thinking, go up the mountain to pray for the Buddha for your father, so that he can give birth to a good family in the next life, you know, the few small ones in the house are not successful. Only you, the night girl, are the most loved by your grandmother. ”
The contemporary double standard master is none other than her to the old lady.
In these small ones in her mouth, she not only pointed to the aunts and girls who had no status in the house, but also pointed to the grandchildren who she was afraid of melting in her mouth, but now she is the only one who is pampered.
Bo Zhaoxu frowned a little dissatisfied, and asked in a low voice, "Do you need this king to accompany you?" ”
"No, you don't."
Xiang Yaqi also whispered in response.
"Grandmother has said so, and I understand what you mean, when you send me a letter a day in advance, I will prepare a carriage to pick you up at Xiangfu."
With Xiang Yeqi's words, the old lady Xiang suddenly smiled and said, "Hey! I know that you are filial, so a few days later, my grandmother will order someone to inform you! ”
The old lady Xiang should have come for this second, and after agreeing to Yeqi, she left in a hurry.
It's like I'm afraid of being caught by the tail.
"If you don't want to go, you will get sick."
As soon as Bo Zhaoxu saw Xiang Yeqi smiling so bitterly, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and because he didn't know how to comfort him, he just thought about being a backstage for others: "With this king to support you, no one dares to point fingers at you anymore." ”
Yes, Bo Zhaoxu expressed his stance twice today, which time didn't he generously show the pain towards the night diaphragm? In the future, few people will dare to talk about her, and it is estimated that she will be able to be offered back to the mansion.
"I know you're good to me, but it's not this ...... I'm worried about"
Xiang Yeqi looked thoughtfully at the blood swallow in the handmaid's hand, and muttered out the words in his heart by mistake.
Now, somehow, as long as Bo Zhaoxu is by his side, he can always let down his guard and feel extra relieved......
Thinking of this inexplicable feeling, Xiang Yeqi's heart was even more chaotic.
"What are the conditions of Xiangfu now, I still have some sense of proportion in my heart, even if she can afford the money for these blood swallows, she may not be able to buy them. She said that she asked someone to buy it, how could it be? ”
That's where the doubts of the night go by.
One of the reasons why Xiangfu fell into decline is that after the death of Master Xiang, the friendships with Master Xiang were all broken off with Xiangfu.
When people go to high places, there are a few people who can have the heart to turn back and drag up an old clan who has lost their backbone.
What's more, you can get this thing like a blood swallow.
"I guess she didn't ask someone to get it, but someone wanted to borrow my grandmother's hand to send it...... A priori check whether this thing is poisonous or not. ”
Xiang Yeqi sighed with emotion - how many people did the original owner offend? How many people have you offended with your own efforts?
If it weren't for the identity of the fourth princess, even if the original owner was a peaceful person who would never offend anyone, the hatred she attracted to Yeqi alone would be enough for her to die a thousand and eight hundred times......
"Huh?"
The maid opened the jade carving gift box in her hand with some surprise, and said strangely in her heart, if you really want to poison the night and find some ordinary bird's nests, why bother to make a big deal and start with such a valuable thing? It's really distressing to look at.
But in the end, it was the order of his master, and the maid turned around and passed on the blood swallow, and patiently ordered: "Take a stew pot, boil this blood swallow and see if it is poisonous or not, don't forget to catch a live chicken, you have to find a live creature to try." ”
After a little while, the carefully stewed blood swallow was presented.
"Lord, princess, it's all taken care of."
A group of domestic servants set up a table in front of the two of them, as if they were going to prepare for some extremely formal dinner, but on the huge pear wood table, there was always a white porcelain stew cup.
This is the protagonist who waits for the future.
First, a sister-in-law holding a brocade handkerchief stepped forward, flicked her sleeves and took out a silver needle from the brocade hand, dipped it in the blood swallow and waited for a while.
There was no noticeable change in the silver needle, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was covered with a misty blue, as if it had been stained with something.
The sister-in-law twisted it with her hand, and she was able to wipe off something, frowned and said with relief: "Maybe there is something miscellaneous in this blood swallow, it can't be called a high-grade one, as for poisoning...... The slave and maid didn't think it was very similar, if there was really something hiding poison that could kill people, this silver needle could be detected. ”
There are many people in the world who can make poison, but those who are good at using poison are at least the few, and ordinary poisons are really not able to hide the silver needle specially used for drug testing.
It is said that Xiang Yeqi should be relieved at this time.
But once the wind of doubt blows, it is not so easy to calm down.
Bo Zhaoxu has witnessed much more unpredictable people's hearts than Xiang Yeqi, and the domestic servants who work under him have naturally seen many ups and downs with Bo Zhaoxu.
The sister-in-law reported her opinion to the two of them, and then strode back, and the rough girl who was holding the hen followed closely behind, and she was skillful and sophisticated in catching the chicken, and pressed the hen to the ground with one hand, and then scooped a spoonful of blood swallow and blew it twice, and fed it to the hen's mouth.
Xiang Yeqi's brow furrowed, and now ...... I have to see how this hen reacts after eating, and I don't want to give Mrs. Xiang a "face".
It seems that this hen is not very face-saving.
About a small spoonful of blood swallow entered her abdomen, and the hen suddenly straightened up, stiff like a wax figure.
After a moment of stiffness, the hen fell to the ground in an instant, and blood gushed to the foot of the table.
Xiang Ye's face turned white in fright, she knew that the cheap grandmother of the original owner was not a good thing, but she didn't expect it to be like this......
But she glanced at Bo Zhaoxu, who didn't seem surprised.
He seemed to be used to this kind of blood-related killing.
Even the rough girl holding the dead chicken had a calm face, as if what happened today was no different from what happened on weekdays.
It's just ordinary eating, eating, and sleeping, and there's nothing surprising about it.
"It's too bad luck to let the prince and the princess see the red, you guys hurry up and pack this up, it's been left for a long time, it's unlucky." The rough girl cared more about this, "The slave and maid retreated, as for this blood swallow, the slave and maid will find someone to deal with it." ”
The corners of Bo Zhaoxu's mouth raised a slight imperceptible arc.
