Chapter Fifty-Eight: Unformed Speculation
“…… Listening to you say so much, I don't really understand one thing, you said that every time the second miss of the Xue family comes to the house, her aunt will personally cook and entertain her, and even usually make pastries and send them to the Xue mansion herself, so it seems that the second miss of the Xue family still likes her aunt's cooking skills? Xiaojin, tell me, what do you think of the attitude of the second lady of the Xue family towards your eldest young master? ”
Listening to what Xiaojin said so much, a bold and unformed guess came to Liangyue's mind. However, it has not been verified, and she can't say whether her idea is right or wrong, and now it is late at night, she must not break into the Xue Mansion overnight to verify it, it is better to take this opportunity to listen to Xiaojin's opinion.
Xiao Jin scratched his head and said uncertainly: "This...... To be honest, in Xiao Jin's opinion, the second miss of the Xue family doesn't seem to be very interested in my eldest young master...... Unlike other young ladies, two of the three sentences do not leave my eldest young master, and some even quietly send things to Xiaojin, wanting to find out some of the eldest young master's preferences. The second lady of the Xue family didn't ask, she asked once in a while, and she still asked when the eldest young master was often not at home. ”
"Huh?" Liang Yue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, it seems that Xue Yirou didn't want to meet Zhou Zhiping? "So what do you say? What did she say later? ”
Xiao Jin thought for a while and replied: "Xiao Jin said that the eldest young master is dealing with some things in the countryside Zhuangzi, and he should not be able to come back in the near future." Xiao Jin remembered that the second miss of the Xue family was relieved and obviously relaxed when she heard her words, and suddenly became a little entangled, but still said truthfully, "After hearing this, the second miss of the Xue family looked very happy, but probably remembered that Xiao Jin was from the Zhou Mansion, and pretended to be a pity, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's a pity that you can't see the eldest young master, but it looks like ...... It's like I'm happy because I can't see the eldest young master......"
Hearing Xiaojin say this, what else can Liangyue not be sure about, Bacheng Xue Yirou is also a drunkard, she can get so close to the Zhou family, it is estimated that it is so that the Zhou family can give her a good meal......
Thinking of the temperament of that little cousin, I don't think it's strange. In order to please her, the Zhou family cooked food for her, gave her clothes, sent jewelry, and even put down the shelf of the lady in charge to play with her, just imagine Xue Yirou's temperament of eating, drinking and having fun, someone is willing to accompany her like this, what can she not be happy about? Besides, with the Zhou family accompanying her, she can play more unscrupulously and unrestrained, after all, Xue's father and Xue's mother can manage their daughter, but they can't manage Zhou. With the Zhou family, it is equivalent to having a pass token that can enter and exit the house at any time, which is not too cost-effective. -- Probably Zhou is a conscientious playmate in Xue Yirou's eyes.
Soon, Liang Yue thought through seven or eight points.
But as for whether what she thinks is right, it's safer to find an opportunity to verify it.
I didn't expect to easily get the exclusive inside story on the first day of entering the house, Liangyue looked at Xiaojin more and more pleasing to the eye, the more pleasing to the eye, the more pleasing to the eye, the more I liked it, and said a lot of thanks to her for sharing gossip, and also sent a few novel small things with her, which let her go down to rest.
Almost as soon as Xiaojin went out with his front foot, Zhou Zhiping crawled out from behind the screen with his back foot - he really used his hands and feet together and crawled out.
And his face is full of resentment.
Liang Yue was startled by him, and patted her head before she remembered that Zhou Zhiping had been hidden behind the screen by her before she had time to leave......
"Don't look at me like that, like I've bullied you." Liang Yue hurriedly helped him up and sat on the stool, unable to bear to look directly at his sad and painful expression.
"You're embarrassed to say it! In front of me, he instigated my little maid to gossip about me, and he didn't say anything about me, and he talked about it for so long! Did you forget me? I couldn't even stand up to the back...... My feet are numb......" Zhou Zhiping complained very aggrieved.
Liang Yue knew that he had really forgotten him this time, so he didn't dare to stand cautiously behind the screen for more than half an hour, so he hurriedly apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry, who called your story so exciting, I was fascinated by it, and I accidentally forgot about you...... Are your legs still numb? I'll give you a thrash? As he spoke, he was about to squat down and beat his legs.
Alas, it's all because the gossip stories are too misleading......
Before she could bend down, Zhou Zhiping hurriedly grabbed her, and the expression on his face became even more resentful: "I found out, did you do it on purpose?" ”
Liang Yue looked innocent: "Isn't it? Isn't this my attempt to make amends for your sins, to pinch your legs or something, so that you don't get angry? Rise? Cousin? ”
Zhou Zhiping covered his face with one hand and said that he didn't want to see her innocent appearance, waved weakly with the other hand, and said quietly: "If I really let you pinch my legs tonight, I dare to guarantee that by tomorrow at the latest, my legs will be broken by Su Yi's kid......"
Blame him for being too sober, and saw through Liangyue's "conspiracy" in time, and grabbed the reins on the edge of the cliff where his legs were about to be crippled.
Alas, it's better to be a man who is as self-aware as he is, and he must have a strong desire to survive anytime and anywhere......
"Okay, okay, I'll be relieved, I'm leaving, Helan is still waiting for me, you be careful in everything, my cousin's lifelong happiness is all counting on you!" Zhou Zhiping patted Liang Yue's shoulder as if entrusted with a heavy responsibility, said with a solemn face, and then opened the door, looked out with a probe, and walked away.
Xu is body recognized the bed, the cool moon tossed and turned for most of the night, stunned and couldn't sleep, and finally the chickens were about to crow, so he fell asleep shallowly, but he didn't sleep for long, and he was woken up again.
"Moon girl, are you awake?" Outside the door was Xiaojin's voice.
Liangyue was easy to wake up from a light sleep, and when she called her like this, she immediately opened her eyes and sat up with the quilt. "I'm awake, come in."
Xiao Jin walked in in small steps, first carefully put the box in his hand on the dresser, then turned around and said excitedly: "Miss Yue, hurry up and get dressed up, Madame said that she would take you to the street." Belch...... Moon girl? Xiao Jin finally saw the faint dark blue under Liang Yue's eyes, and was immediately shocked, "Miss Yue, what's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? ”
Liang Yue shook her head slowly and stiffly, "No, I just don't get used to sleeping in bed." ”
It's so painful to admit bed insomnia or something.
Xiao Jin stepped forward to take a closer look, and only after confirming that Liang Yue was not unwell did he put his mind at ease, and hesitated: "Then do you want to continue sleeping for a while?" If Madame knew, she would definitely be very distressed, anyway, there is still a while before breakfast, can you close your eyes and rest? ”
Liang Yue shook her head with two godless eyes, and asked Xiaojin, "Didn't you just say that Auntie was going to take me to the street?" Why so early? ”
Xiao Jin nodded, "Madam said, first take you to see the clothes and jewelry, and then go to the Xue Mansion." ”
As soon as she heard Xue Mansion, Liang Yue hurriedly asked, "Auntie doesn't want to take me with her, right?" ”
Xiao Jin nodded, "Yes, that's what Madame said." ”
How could she miss such an opportunity, Liang Yue hurriedly rubbed her face to make herself look more energetic, and said to Xiaojin while getting out of bed and putting on her shoes: "Quick, hurry, I want to freshen up, didn't my aunt say where I eat?" ”
Xiao Jin said with a smile while helping her change her clothes, "Madame has already ordered, you can freshen up and dress up, and go to the front hall to have dinner together, and the master is here today." ”
"Ah yes, Madame said, these earrings are new, Madame sees that it suits you, so she will send it over, Miss Yue, you see, which hairpin do you want to bring?" Don't look at Xiaojin's young age, but she is a first-class worker, just while talking, she has already helped Liangyue comb her hair, and specially combed her with a hairstyle that looks particularly quiet and gentle, seeing that Liangyue didn't even look at the jewelry in the box, she had to take the two hairpins in her hand and compare them and ask her which one she wanted to wear.
Liang Yue couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair, and said with a tangled face: "I said Xiaojin, can I change my hairstyle?" ”
Xiaojin was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "Okay girl Yue, what kind of change do you want?" ”
"Just comb it casually, just take a wooden hairpin on it and pull it up, don't be so troublesome." Liang Yue pointed her little finger and looked at Xiaojin with a blank eye.
This gentle and quiet hairstyle really doesn't fit her style......
Xiao Jin was suddenly a little unhappy: "Miss Yue, do you dislike Xiao Jin's hair that combs you is not good-looking?" ”
"No, no, it's good-looking, it's much better than mine." Liang Yue shook her head in the mirror and praised it heartily. "It's just that this style doesn't look like mine......"
Xiaojin selectively ignored the last sentence, and became happy again, "That's it, Madame said, you must be dressed beautifully, Miss Yue, let's change your face again, right?" By the way, it's good to cover your dark circles, Xiaojin promises that you will definitely dress up like a fairy! Although you're good enough......"
“……”
Liang Yue has completely given up communicating with her, anyway, no matter what she says, this little girl will always have a way to persuade her, so she will simply be at her mercy.
Just when Liang Yue was about to fall asleep while sitting, Xiao Jin's voice suddenly sounded in her ears with some surprise: "It's done!" Moon girl, wake up, look in the mirror, do you think you are more beautiful? Saying that, he hurriedly took the mirror and let Liang Yue take a look, with an excited expression of "praise me, praise me, praise me".
Looking at the delicate and beautiful little face in the mirror, Liang Yue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, reached out and pinched her face, and at the same time nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Mmmm, it's very good, Xiaojin, it's just a dead wood in spring!" ”
Xiao Jin couldn't cry or laugh when she heard her words, and said helplessly: "Moon girl, that's not how dead wood is used in spring, you are obviously a fairy descending to earth!" ”
"Just you little girl can talk!" Liang Yue funnily pinched Xiaojin's somewhat fleshy face and made trouble with her.
In the front hall, Zhou was about to send someone to call Liang Yue over, when he suddenly heard Xiao Jin's laughter, raised his eyes, and was obviously stunned when he saw Liang Yue dressed up.
I have long known that the moon girl was born beautiful, but now she dresses up a little, and she looks more bright and moving. It would be nice if this girl didn't have a heart, but it's a pity......
A trace of regret flashed in Zhou's eyes, and then he came over and took Liang Yue's hand, looked at it carefully, and felt even more satisfied, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Okay, good, if you dress up so slightly, the beautiful ones are almost unrecognizable, look at this little girl, you should dress up well, oops, Yue girl, Auntie really likes you in my heart." ”
Being praised by the Zhou family like this, Liang Yue suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and pointed at Xiao Jin and said: "How can there be such an exaggeration as what Auntie said, it is still Xiao Jin's skill, in the final analysis, it is still Auntie who loves me." As he spoke, he turned around in front of Zhou, and grinned and grabbed Zhou's arm, "Thank you Auntie for the clothes you prepared for Yue'er, they are so beautiful." and the hairpin on the head, all of them are beautiful. Auntie, you're so nice. ”
These words simply spoke to Zhou's heart, she had already liked her daughter, and now that she saw that Liangyue was born and beautiful and could speak, she liked her so much, she couldn't wait to accept Liangyue as her goddaughter.
It's just that when he thinks of the son who came from home, Zhou is a little entangled, is his goddaughter not as good as his daughter-in-law......
While the two were talking, Xiao Jin had already passed the breakfast, almost as soon as the meal was set, he heard the salute of the subordinates, Liang Yue hurriedly saluted and saw Zhou's father, Zhou's father saw Liang Yue and naturally complimented him again, the three of them sat down in turn, and the meal was very happy.
Zhou's father was busy with business, and as soon as he finished eating, he said a word to Zhou, and left in a hurry.
Zhou Shi half explained and half complained: "He is often so busy, today I still saw that you came to take the time to have a meal with us, otherwise he would have already gone out." I have long said that the family has enough food and clothing, but he doesn't listen, he doesn't say that he is not tired, he just bought a new shop yesterday, and he is probably in a hurry to see it now. ”
Liang Yue was a little happy when she heard this: "Uncle is really good to Auntie, look at a meal, Uncle is full of Aunt You, no wonder Uncle is so active in making money to support the family, because there is a beautiful wife like a flower at home~" After speaking, he blinked his eyes mischievously, and his face was full of "I understand" a clear look.
"Poof......" Xiao Jin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing, but he quickly covered his mouth smartly, for fear that Zhou would hear it.
How could Zhou not hear it, but she couldn't help laughing, nodded Liangyue's head with a smile, and said with some disgust: "You, just such a little mouth is like smeared with honey, I'm so old, it's embarrassing to be teased by your little girl." ”
Liang Yue hurriedly said: "How can there be, my aunt is obviously a bright and beautiful flower, even when she walks on the street, people will think that we are actually sisters." ”
"Little ponyf." Zhou's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and the more she looked left and right, the more she felt that Liang Yue's dress suited her heart, so she smiled and rewarded Xiaojin with a few taels of silver in public, and pulled Liang Yue to say that she would buy whatever she liked on the street later, which showed that she was really happy.
After talking for so long, seeing that the Zhou family finally said that they were going to take her to the street, Liang Yue couldn't help but be happy: Great, there will be half a day at most, and she will be able to follow the Zhou family into the Xue Mansion in a bright light!
