Chapter 10: The Lady of the Clan
Xu Li said "um" and handed over the brocade box in his hand to Yufu. "This is given to Wanhua by Madame, take it."
"No." Yufu took the brocade box with a smile on her face. "The third prince came into the house and had a cup of tea. My girl just got a good tea, and the third son tasted it. ”
This girl rarely smiled at him, especially so brightly.
Xu Li glanced at Zhuang Wanhua deeply. "I'm not going to drink it yet. You prepare the tea, and after dinner, the eldest prince and I will enjoy it. I still have something to do, so let's go first. With that, Xu Li bowed slightly to Zhuang Wanhua, and then walked away.
Zhuang Wanhua looked at Xu Li without saying a word to her, and her face couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
But Xu Li left, and Zhuang Wanhua's mind immediately followed. She glared at Yufu and stepped to chase after Xu Li.
Can the third prince take a fancy to such a superficial woman as you?
Yufu rolled her eyes widely, and Mei Zizi entered the house with the brocade box.
Xia Wanhua took the brocade box and opened it to see a top hairpin.
What does Mrs. Wang mean by this?
In the summer evening, Andy carefully looked at the top hairpin. In addition to the excellent workmanship of this top hairpin, the Zhu Yu on it is slightly more precious, and there is nothing else special.
"The hairpin?" Yufu also wondered. "Girl, what does it mean that Madame sends a hairpin? How can there be a hairpin for gifts? ”
Xia Wanhua put away the hairpin and handed it to Yufu. "Madame must have a purpose. You put it away. ”
"Yes." Yufu carefully put away the brocade box.
"You girl, you used to only be naughty, I never thought you had such courage. You casually dare to keep the dealer's talented girl out. Xia Wanhua had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were much softer.
"The maid always remembers the girl's instructions." Yufu still blinked her bright eyes.
Xia Wanhua became interested, her body turned slightly, her head was slightly raised, and her eyes fell on Yufu's immature face. "What instruction? How could I not remember? ”
Yufu tilted her head slightly proudly, and her eyes shone with innocence.
"When the maid first came to serve the girl, she was bullied by the old lady of the Hou Mansion and didn't dare to say anything. When the girl found out, she said to her servant, 'It is not necessarily a blessing to suffer. Some losses are gained, which is humility, virtue, and self-cultivation. But there are some losses that should not be eaten, and if they are eaten, they are incompetent! ’。
Yesterday, after the girl said that no one is perfect, the maid carefully tasted the words and deeds of Miss Zhuang San. In the Zhai Palace, she has a posture of saving the people from fire and water, but she is all using the power of others to make her work. She trampled the Xu family, the girl, and other righteous and good families in Dingzhou City under her feet, and let the people in the Zhai Palace call her a female Bodhisattva. Her face was a little bigger. In the palace, it was inconvenient for the girl to show up and discuss with her whether she won or lost, and this dumb man ate it when she lost it. But when we meet again in the Hou Mansion today, I have to spit out this evil breath. ”
Xia Wanhua laughed in a low voice, slowly stood up, walked to the window, and pushed the window open. "Mountains and rivers meet. There will always be a time when he will see you again, what should you do? ”
"See the move!" Yufu's mouth pouted.
Mrs. Wang's intention of the hairpin, Xia Wanhua seemed to have guessed it. Mrs. Wang wanted her to be the wife of the Xu family.
"Three points of forbearance. It's not about putting up with shame and inaction, but it's about reminding yourself to keep a clear head at all times. Zhuang Wanhua has some means and some cleverness, but she is not worthy of the Xu family or Xu Li. Her vision and her pattern can only allow her to stay in the identity of the first talented woman in Hechu. She is nothing more than trying to marry off her scenery in a timely manner. Why should you be serious about such a person? The little ghost is difficult, you get into trouble, and you have to beware of her biting you one day. ”
When Yufu heard this, her face turned pale. "Girl, that's the maid's mistake. The servant has caused trouble for the girl. ”
Xia Wanhua raised her hand and patted Yufu's little head. "It doesn't matter. My Xia Wanhua is a hard bone. I'm worried she'll burst her teeth when she bites me! ”
"Girl, you're really good at laughing." Yufu grinned. But when she heard someone enter the courtyard, she immediately shut her mouth and went out to meet her. When I went out, I realized that it was Chen Xiao who came.
The wedding banquet building is Xia Wanhua's largest industry in Dingzhou, and the shopkeeper Chen Xiao is shrewd and capable, and is her right-hand man. Xia Wanhua explained a few words about the party and shifted the topic to Xu Li.
"Send someone to contact the secret pile around Qiu Changkai and ask him to get Qiu Changkai to Kunze City."
Chen Xiao was slightly shocked when he heard this, and asked randomly: "Girl, this is trying to get rid of Qiu Changkai." ”
The corners of Xia Wanhua's mouth twitched, and she raised her head to meet Chen Xiao's surprised gaze. "If you want to move, he will already move, so why wait until today. I want to get Xu Li to Kunze City to test Zhou Changhuai's attitude. ”
"Xu family, well, girl's good idea. Qiu Changkai controls the northwest, and if Zhou Changhuai sends ordinary people, he will definitely not survive for a few days. But he didn't dare to touch the people of the Xu family. Although the Xu family is far away from Dingzhou, they are in-laws with the Rong family, and they have a lot of troops. Qiu Changkai couldn't move easily. And the third prince was a proton in Hanzhao, and he suddenly disappeared and appeared in Kunze City, this scene is very interesting. At that time, whether it is Zhou Changhuai or Xu Qingfang, it will be a loss. ”
Xia Wanhua nodded, and her tone was deep: "After all these years of silence, it's time to make a move." The return of Prince Zhang Yi will definitely cause a bloody storm in the Dachen royal family. This is the perfect time for us to make a move. ”
"Prince Zhang Yi! Zhou Jianying? When Chen Xiao heard this title, he was no less surprised than Xia Wanhua before. Isn't he dead? ”
Xia Wanhua sneered. "Medicine King Valley saved him."
Chen Xiao's face changed, and his brows furrowed. "What does this mean in the Valley of the Medicine King? I saved the girl, and I saved Prince Zhangyi. Don't you want to pedal two boats? ”
"I don't care if he wants to step on a few boats in the Medicine King Valley, and those who stand in my way will die! Medicine King Valley is no exception! ”
Xia Wanhua clenched her fists, and her sharp eyes looked at Chen Xiao's back.
The two of them said some more things, and Chen Xiao left the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
As soon as he walked out of the side door of the Hou Mansion, a familiar back blocked Chen Xiao's way.
Chen Xiao looked at the man, turned around in his mind a few times, and then stepped forward and stood aside in a regular manner.
"The girl is going to make a move."
The man glanced at Chen Xiao slantedly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "Looks like you've figured it out."
"Yes, Chen Xiao is willing to serve his son, and he will not hesitate to do so!"
"It's good to know the times. But don't think about being a wall grass, I can't tolerate it. I won't be as kind as a woman like Xia Wanhua! ”
Chen Xiao hurriedly lowered his head slightly and replied: "Chen Xiao understands, Chen Xiao remember!" ”
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Chen Xiao watched the man get into the carriage and leave, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and cold sweat was dripping on his back. In order to save the life of the family, he could only vote for his master. As for what happened after the East Window incident, one step at a time.
