Chapter 15 The heart is warm
God seemed to be particularly considerate of Jiang Xiaoyao's thoughts, and the snowflakes gradually floated.
When Bai Xiao came to Zhenyuan's Bofu, he saw Jiang Xiaoyao standing obediently under the corridor, as if a guard was on duty, standing in a proper manner, and hanging down with only one hand.
The fingers are slender and white, and they look like little girls.
Bai Xiao stopped: "Why is Jiang Xiaogongzi standing outside?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyao let out a soft "ah" and lied clumsily: "I...... Come outside and enjoy the snow. ”
Bai Xiao bowed his head and stood beside Jiang Xiaoyao with his negative hand.
Bai Xiao is not as tall as Qi Lin, only half a head taller than Jiang Xiaoyao, his figure is fatter than Qi Lin, and he looks very honest.
"There has been no snow throughout the winter, and finally it has fallen in the wax moon, and the harvest of Zhuangzi will be better in the coming year." Bai Xiao moved a little closer to Jiang Xiaoyao, and inadvertently, he happened to touch Jiang Xiaoyao's hand.
Jiang Xiaoyao subconsciously dodged and took a step to the side.
Bai Xiao paused and said calmly: "Jiang Xiaogongzi's hands seem to be a little cold. ”
Bai Xiao said this, and went to untie the big qi on his body.
"Xiaoxiu, your cloak." Qi Lin lifted the curtain and came out, took it with a natural expression, and wrapped Jiang Xiaoyao in a face.
When Qi Lin came over with Bai Xiao, he walked to the door in a few steps, but he was afraid that he would be impulsive and annoy Jiang Xiaoyao again, so he was forced to hold back in the soft curtain.
But I didn't expect that this Bai Xiao was frivolous and dared to touch Xiao Xiu's hand!
Qi Lin rolled out like a wind.
Bai Xiao's hand paused, and he turned his head to salute: "Young Master Qi is polite." ”
Qi Lin's expression was faint, as cold as snow among the pines: "Why is Bai Shizi here?" If it's a case, you should go ahead and find Master Shangshu. ”
Bai Xiao didn't seem to hear the alienation and coldness in Qi Lin's words, so he bowed his hand and saluted again: "Bai is here to thank Gongzi Qi." Bai had just come out of his aunt's mansion~middle~out~, and the first assistant Qi went to his aunt's mansion to support his aunt, Bai was extremely surprised, and after thinking about it, it should be the credit of Qi Gongzi. ”
Qi Lin returned the salute indifferently: "Bai Shizi is polite, if there is nothing to do, Bai Shizi please go back, the inner courtyard of the Criminal Department is inconvenient to receive outsiders." ”
Bai Xiao was as good as a stream, and his eyes fell on Jiang Xiaoyao again: "I heard that Jiang Xiaogongzi still has to take care of Lord Shangshu's meals, but it's time to go back to Sushun Houfu at this time?" Why don't you have one? ”
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyao felt a little strange, tilted his head and asked, "Is Bai Shizi going to our mansion?" ”
"Exactly." Bai Xiao replied.
"Why did Bai Shizi go to the Marquis of Sushun's Mansion?" Qi Lin glanced Bai Xiao up and down, guarded.
This Bai Xiao was very wrong from the beginning, and the eyes of Xiao Xiu were not the same as others.
Bai Xiao was stunned, as if he was stopped by Qi Lin's words.
"Hmm......" Bai Xiao groaned for a moment and looked at Jiang Xiaoyao: "It seems that Jiang Xiaogongzi doesn't know yet?" ”
"Know what?" Qi Lin's cold eyes stared at Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao frowned, and didn't seem to understand Qi Lin's hostility: "Bai has already married the three girls of the Sushun Hou Mansion. ”
Qi Lin: ???
Jiang Xiaoyao poked his head out from behind Qi Lin and was dumbfounded: "Bai Shizi and my third sister are married?" So fast? ”
Bai Xiao paused, and glanced at Jiang Xiaoyao suspiciously: "Jiang Xiaogongzi knew before that Uncle Zhenyuan was going to marry your mansion?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyao was asked a little weakly, when her grandmother told her before, she said that it seemed that the second aunt and the third sister were very happy and tried their best to be involved in Zhenyuan Bofu......
"I didn't know before." Jiang Xiaoyao's long eyelashes fluttered a few times: "I just think it's strange, Xu Gongzi's funeral has not been completed, and it seems that Bai Shizi and Xu Gongzi have a deep relationship before......"
When Bai Xiao heard this, he clenched his fists slightly, a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his words stiffened a lot: "It's a marriage contract." ”
Bai Xiao's appearance gave Jiang Xiaoyao a not very good premonition.
"I came to see Jiang Xiaogongzi this time, and I also hope that Jiang Xiaogongzi can persuade Bai to one or two and set the marriage date in three years." Bai Xiao said with a calm face: "My cousin has not been buried, I am going to marry, how can my aunt bear it?" ”
Now, even Qi Lin could hear it.
This family business sounds like a ...... The Marquis of Sushun is forcing marriage.
"I ...... I'll do my best. Jiang Xiaoyao lowered his head, not daring to look at Bai Xiao anymore, feeling extremely guilty, as if she was the one who forced Bai Xiao to get married.
"Then thank you Jiang Xiaogongzi, Bai said goodbye." Bai Xiao turned around and left.
"I'll go back to the house and ask what's going on." Jiang Xiaoyao was cramped and uneasy.
How anxious is this, and he refuses to wait for the burial of Gongzi Xu?
What's going on?
Qi Lin: "I'll go with you." ”
"Don't, don't." Jiang Xiaoyao waved his hand again and again: "That Bai Shizi went to our mansion and ...... In case my second aunt sees you, she may have to retire from the family business of Zhenyuan Bofu. ”
Jiang Xiaoyao was extremely uneasy, and told him a thousand times: "You must stay away from our house recently." ”
Qi Lin hesitated: "What do you mean...... Am I better than Bai Xiao? ”
"Definitely."
No doubt.
Qi Lin's anxious mood just now calmed down suddenly.
It's like it's been ironed out.
"Then I'll sort out the top layer of the case file first, and then we'll sort out the bottom one together when you come over in the afternoon." The top layer, Jiang Xiaoyao can't reach.
Jiang Xiaoyao nodded obediently.
Qi Lin went to work with enthusiasm in his heart.
Jiang Xiaoyao went straight to the old lady's courtyard, and before anyone entered the warm pavilion, he lifted the curtain and asked, "Grandmother, is the third sister married to Bai Shizi?" ”
"It's Xiao Yao, your news is fast." Lin was sitting on the Luohan couch with the old lady on the left and right, and answered her with a smile when he opened his mouth.
Jiang Xiaoyao didn't expect the Lin family to be there, so his pace slowed down, and he saluted in a proper manner: "Second aunt." ”
Lin Shi responded, turned his head and continued to talk to the old lady: "Hou Ye and his daughter-in-law have two daughters, Sister Jing entered the palace, and did not take a needle or thread from our Hou Mansion, and now she has arrived at Sister Rui, this is three books and six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs are carried into the Bo's Mansion, if this dowry is thin, wouldn't it be to let Sister Rui be poked in the backbone?" Anyway, it's your granddaughter, you can't be too partial. ”
The old lady had always ignored the Lin family, but she didn't want Jiang Xiaoyao to listen to these nonsense things, so she waved her hand and said, "You go back and make a dowry list first, and then talk about it tomorrow." ”
Lin immediately opened his mouth and said: "Look at what you said, the dowry when the daughter-in-law entered the mansion was later spent for the second master's smooth attack on the lord, where is there any surplus ......?"
The old lady was most annoyed by Lin's appearance of occupying ~ small ~ poop ~ appropriate, and she was even more reluctant to disgust Jiang Xiaoyao, and was about to loosen her mouth, so she sent Lin to go first, so she listened to Jiang Xiaoyao's soft question.
"Did the second aunt mean that she would use the dowry silver to snatch the title from my hands to the second uncle?"
The Lin family came to the old lady's courtyard at this time, and it was planned, so they took advantage of Jiang Xiaoyao's coming back soon, usually at this time, it would be easier for the old lady to agree to her request in order to send her away.
This is the pattern she has figured out over the years.
When the old lady is in front of Jiang Xiaoyao, she will always talk better.
But I don't want to, Jiang Xiaoyao said such a sentence today.
Suddenly, I don't know what to say.
"You kid...... What does this say? It's all a family, what can't be robbed? Lin said.
"If it's a family, naturally there's no need to rob it." Jiang Xiaoyao's watery eyes looked over, and there was an example of Mrs. Xu in front of her, but as long as she was alive, she would not allow others to bully her grandmother.
"But the second uncle was not born by his grandmother, if it is a grandmother's son-in-law, there is no need for the second aunt to dredge it with dowry silver."
"You...... At a young age, what nonsense is ......" Lin was so angry that he immediately turned his face.
"Which sentence did Xiao Yao say wrong?" The bottom line of the old lady is Jiang Xiaoyao, and she slapped the little ones suddenly, and she couldn't help but smack Lin's face: "The second child is a ~ washing ~ feet ~ girl was born, not crawling out of my stomach, I am willing to let him be this Hou Ye, that is for my sake, for the sake of the dead old man, if you want to make trouble with Xiao Yao again, see if he can do it as a Hou Ye!" ”
Lin was taken aback, and muttered: "That's not what I said, how can I say that the second master is also the son of the old marquis, at that time, Xiao Yao was still a nursing doll, what can he understand?" ”
"Then I'm grown up now, let the second uncle give me back the title." Jiang Xiaoyao's voice was soft and glutinous, standing there uprightly, looking very well-behaved and quiet, but his clear eyes did not back down at all.
For the first time, Lin realized that her nephew, who was already fifteen years old.
It's no longer the little kid who doesn't say a word and only droops his little head.
Lin was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Xiao Yao came back just in time, your third sister is going to marry the prince of Zhenyuan Bofu, and when the wedding is a few days away, you, as an elder brother, will carry your third sister on the sedan chair, you have to prepare for a good life." ”
Jiang Xiaoyao sat next to the old lady and said unhappily: "Bai Shizi went to look for me just now, Bai Shizi's cousin has not been mourned, Bai Shizi will marry again in three years, let me persuade the second uncle and second aunt." ”
"How can that be? This is all said to be good, and Mrs. Zhenyuan has agreed. Lin immediately raised his eyebrows, shook his handkerchief and said: "No, I'll ask Mrs. Zhenyuan, it's my cousin who died, and it's not my father who died, is it possible that I still have to keep three years of filial piety?" The Bai family can wait, but my Rui'er can't wait. ”
Lin said and left, Jiang Xiaoyao weakly "hey" to stop, but was dragged by the old lady.
"Why didn't my grandmother let me talk to my second aunt? Just let her go? Jiang Xiaoyao asked.
"What do you want to say to your second aunt?" The old lady glanced at Jiang Xiaoyao deeply.
Children raised by themselves are said to be big when they are big.
Before this, Jiang Xiaoyao had never worked against the Lin family, and this time he ......
Sometimes the old lady wonders if Jiang Xiaoyao has slept on the bed for three years, is there really something different.
Jiang Xiaoyao hung his head and muttered: "When Bai Shizi talked to me, he seemed to be very disgusted with the appearance of the third sister, Bai Shizi had already mentioned such words to me, and it was obvious that he had his own plans in his heart, the second aunt was so aggressive, should she be a relative or an enemy?" ”
The old lady looked at Jiang Xiaoyao's frowning appearance, and suddenly smiled.
