Chapter 23: I will only marry Li Junqi in this life
With a flash of thought, Tang Anxia herself was startled, and she took a few sips of strong tea to suppress the feeling of fear.
Yingzi led the two maidservants up with lunch, placed them in the middle of the small round table in the hall, and said with a smile: "Second Miss, hurry up and eat." ”
Tang Anxia wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief, sat on the rose chair, and looked out the door: "Where is Fang Yan?" ”
Yingzi stuck out her tongue: "She's busy teaching the people outside!" It is said that the corners of the yard are not cleaned! The bamboo slips in the study are not neatly placed! If you don't check them for a few days, you'll be lazy! ”
"Fang Yan is careful." Tang Anxia drank a spoonful of lotus seed soup, glanced at the playful and lovely girl beside her, how she wished that what she saw last night was a false dream.
I ate a few bites casually, and I had something on my mind, and I didn't have any appetite at all.
Yingzi tilted her head sideways to look at Tang Anxia, and casually moved the candied red fruit in front of her: "The second lady likes to eat this the most, and the slave maid specially ordered the dining room to bring more." ”
Tang Anxia pinched one and put it in his mouth, it didn't taste as sweet as before.
Yingzi handed her a wet handkerchief to wipe the sticky candy on her hands, and said curiously: "Don't you like today's meal?" What do you want to eat? The slave maid went to the bazaar and bought it. ”
Go to the bazaar......
A plan sprouted in Tang Anxia's heart. She raised her eyes and curled the corners of her lips meaningfully: "It's just right, there is something you need to do, and everyone else will step back." ”
"Second Miss tells you that." Yingzi's eyes flickered.
Tang Anxia stared at the girl who was eating inside and out, angry and annoyed in her heart, but her words were calm: "Do you remember, a few years ago, where did I bring you back?" ”
Yingzi said without thinking: "The slave and the maid will never forget, it was the slave and the maid who were desperate, and on the first day of soliciting guests in front of the door of the Spring Rain Building, the second lady passed by in front of the door, bought the slave and maid, and brought it back to the general's mansion, so that the slave and the maid became your maid, and there was a good life today." ”
The light in Tang Anxia's eyes gradually dimmed: "Do you know, why did I save you?" ”
Yingzi shook her head: "The slave doesn't know, and she doesn't dare to ask." ”
Tang Anxia tasted a bite of longan lotus seed soup, looked at the table full of delicacies she liked, and said quietly: "You are similar in age to Fang Yan, but you are different from ordinary people's smart and clever, I dislike what I like, you can remember it in your heart after observing it for a few days, Fang Yan has followed me for many years and still can't figure it out." ”
Yingzi avoided Tang Anxia's scrutinizing eyes, and her eyes swayed from side to side: "The slave just cares about the young lady and wants to repay your redemption kindness." ”
Tang Anxia could see that she was a little weak and a little ashamed.
"The first time I saw you, I knew that you were not a simple girl, Fang Yan was too stupid, I needed a clever maid to accompany me, and I felt that it would be a tyrannical thing to leave you in that kind of place, so I didn't hesitate to pay to bring you back. However, if you are allowed to stay in Chunyu Building, I believe that with your ability, you will become the top brand there sooner or later. ”
Yingzi's originally expressionless cheeks showed a hint of panic, and the complicated emotions in her eyes couldn't be concealed: "Second Miss, don't make fun of the slave, being able to get your love is a blessing that the slave has cultivated for several generations." ”
Tang Anxia stopped talking, only hoped that she could stop it, the betrayal in the past, and the love between master and servant for many years, could not be blamed for the past.
After a while, Tang Anxia said lightly: "On the east side of the Chunyu Building, there is a shop that has been open for more than ten years, and his family's Fushou fish shreds taste very good. The day I met you, I went to his house to buy it, and I saved you along the way. It's still early today, you go buy a catty, there is a golden hairpin in the box under the bronze mirror, you take it to the proprietress and give it to the proprietress, you don't need to give two silver taels, she will understand. ”
Yingzi opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but she didn't dare to say it after all, and blessed her body: "Yes, the slave will go back when she goes." ”
Tang Anxia stared at her back from leaving in a hurry, and there was an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart, asking her to get rid of Yingzi, how could she not feel distressed? In the past few years, she has long regarded Fang Yan and Yingzi as her sisters, and she never imagined that she would be betrayed by the people closest to her.
At this time, Fang Yan came in with a box of pearl hairpins, saw Tang Anxia sitting at the round table in a daze, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the second miss?" The food is not good, just let the dining room redo it. ”
Tang Anxia retracted his drifting thoughts, and glanced at the golden makeup box in Fang Yan's hand: "Father has rewarded his three daughters again?" Looking at this weight, I am afraid that it is a big man who is going to visit the house, and my father will be so arrogant. ”
Fang Yan nodded, the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and she opened the box for Tang Anxia to see: "The second young lady is so smart, there is really a high-ranking royal family who wants to come to the mansion the day after tomorrow, and the general specially ordered the three young ladies to dress up to attend, and the hairpin rewarded is even more valuable than any other time." ”
Tang Anxia pinched one of the golden steps inlaid with the cold winter red plum, and said thoughtfully: "This is Jun Qi's favorite proud cold plum, I will wear it the day after tomorrow." Put the rest in the mirror and save it for the next day. ”
Fang Yan obediently closed the lid of the makeup box, and while taking it away, she wondered: "Didn't the second lady ask who the person who came?" It can make the General's Mansion a sensation. ”
Tang Anxia carefully observed Bu Shao's exquisite craftsmanship, and said indifferently without raising his head: "The royal family who can come to visit my father is naturally the eldest prince who has always been good friends with my father. My father asked our three daughters to dress up, I am afraid that it really meant to marry the royal family. However, the eldest prince may not be able to afford these eldest ladies of the Tang family. ”
"How so?" Fang Yan raised her head and pouted, "Our second young lady is shy of flowers in the closed moon, and the posture of sinking fish and geese, how can others compare?" You will definitely be caught by the great prince. ”
Tang Anxia glared at the heartless girl unhappily: "I will only marry Li Junqi in this life." ”
Fang Yan hurriedly covered her lips, realizing that she had said the wrong thing, and was speechless for a while.
Tang Anxia couldn't help but sigh, Yingzi's intelligence and Fang Yan's temperament are just the opposite, if the two girls could stay by her side and do things loyally, how good it would be. In the future, I wish to find a good family for them to marry.
"Second Miss, where did your golden hairpin go? It's a token of you and Mrs. Yu! When Fang Yan was sorting out her jewelry, she suddenly noticed that one was missing.
Tang Anxia instructed the other maids to take down the food, and replied unhurriedly: "It's time to fulfill the promise of the year." ”
"Second Miss!" Fang Yan's eyes widened in shock.
Tang Anxia looked at her shocked appearance and couldn't help but chuckle: "You! Or a child's temper, when will it grow up? If I tell you something, will you do it well? ”
Fang Yan owed a big salute: "The life of the slave and maid is the second lady's, no matter what, the slave and maid must do their best." ”
Tang Anxia raised his hand to help her, retreated left and right, and lowered his voice: "The person who gave the golden hairpin today is Yingzi who is like a sister to you, and she is different from you after all." You have to remember that the oath between me and Boss Yu must not be known to anyone, including Yingzi, can you hide it? ”
Fang Yan was stunned again, she was dumbfounded, and after a while, she reacted: "Second Miss, Yingzi ...... her"
Tang Anxia calmly interrupted her: "You don't need to ask more, sooner or later you will know the truth." It's just that you must not show your feet, you can't show the slightest abnormality, can you do it? ”
