[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 151 Chapter 144 Inquire
How could Jiang Qinghua not know the reason, naturally knew what kind of character Jiang Ronghua was, and what kind of woman Wu Zhirou was.
I saw Jiang Qinghua's face becoming more and more serious, and said, "Give it back to her!" ”
Jiang Ronghua looked at Jiang Qinghua's undeniable appearance, bit the corner of his mouth, and said, "No, I won't!" After speaking, Jiang Ronghua took the bottle of jade cream and ran out of Juxia Building.
What she Jiang Ronghua fancies, why should she give it to that Wu Zhirou! Hmph, Wu Zhirou's father was Prince Baoluo's back then, and the emperor was already generous and benevolent if he could let their family go. What's more, it's just the daughter of a general soldier's family, even if she robbed Wu Zhirou's things, so what! Sister Tsinghua is too fussy to make a fuss, and she didn't give her any face at all in front of so many people!
Jiang Qinghua saw that Jiang Ronghua ran out, for fear that she would cause some trouble again, so he hurriedly walked up to Xiao Ruo and said, "Boss Jin, I'm sorry, I still have some things, I have to go first!" ”
Xiao Ruo, who was always paying attention to everyone, naturally saw the scene where the jade cream in Wu Zhirou's hand was taken away just now, and also saw Jiang Qinghua reprimanding Jiang Ronghua, and said with a smile: "Young Grandma Li is busy, in the future, Xiao Ruo will visit Li Mansion again." ”
Jiang Qinghua didn't care about being polite with Xiao Ruo, nodded, and chased out with his maid.
Seeing that Jiang Qinghua and Jiang Ronghua had left, the ladies all went to Xiao Ruo together and said, "Thank you Boss Jin for your hospitality today, it's not too early, so we'll leave." ”
"Then Xiao Ruo won't delay the young ladies," Xiao Ruo blessed her body and continued: "You can receive the gifts prepared for you by Ju Xia Lou at the door today. It's the same jade cream, but it's a little smaller than the jackpot. I hope that all the young ladies will laugh and accept it. "It's no wonder that many people have ceremonies, Xiao Ruo thought like this from the beginning when he held this opening ceremony.
"Thank you, Boss Kim." The women naturally wanted to get the skin care products, so they immediately apologized with a smile on their faces, took the small jade cream and left.
Jiang Ronghua's attitude towards Wu Zhirou can know that those women who come with Jiang Ronghua will naturally not pay attention to Wu Zhirou.
Wu Zhirou saw that everyone was gone, although she was still distressed about her bottle of jade cream, but she was no longer cheeky to stay here. immediately walked in front of Xiao Ruo, and was ready to leave.
"Miss Wu still has some free time? If it's okay, it's better to go upstairs with Xiaoruo to chat, okay? Xiao Ruo looked at Wu Zhirou with a smile on her face, just like looking at Wu Qianrou back then.
"En......" Wu Zhirou hesitated for a moment, nodded reluctantly, and said, "I'm fine, since Boss Jin invited, then I'll go sit and leave." ”
Xiao Ruo nodded, took Wu Zhirou's hand, and walked towards the Accord upstairs.
Wu Zhirou was a little stunned by Xiao Ruo's movements, no one had ever treated her like this......
In the Accord, if it was to be cleaned up, Xiao Ruo poured a cup of Longjing for Wu Zhirou and said, "I don't know what kind of tea Miss Wu likes, this Longjing is good, Miss Wu can taste it." ”
Wu Zhirou replied with a smile: "Boss Jin is polite, and I would like to thank Boss Jin for his hospitality today." ”
In the Accord, there were only the two of them, and Wu Zhirou could finally relax a little. She didn't really like to deal with those young ladies at all, she knew they looked down on her, and she didn't want to deal with them. If it weren't for her mother's insistence urging her to socialize, she would rather stay in her own room, read books, and water the flowers.
"I saw that Miss Wu gave the bottle of jade cream to Miss Jiang just now, and Xiao Ruo specially took a new bottle of jade cream and gave it to Miss Wu." Xiao Ruo took out a jade bottle the same size as the grand prize from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.
"Do you really want to give it to me?" Wu Zhirou looked happy and asked in disbelief.
"Really." Wu Zhirou's smile was just like Xiao Ruo gave the portrait of the two people painted by Lan Yucheng to Wu Qianrou that day. Suddenly, a trace of warmth flowed in Xiao Ruo's heart.
Wu Zhirou took the jade cream, opened it, and sniffed the fragrance in it.
"The invitation that Xiao Ruo handed over to the concierge that day said that it was an invitation to all the young ladies in the house. I heard that in addition to Miss Zhirou, there is another person in the Wu Mansion. I wonder why I didn't come today? Xiao Ruo's words seemed to be just a random question. She tried her best to consider her words, lest she be seen by Wu Zhirou about something.
"What you said should be Sister Qianrou, right? Boss Jin should have just arrived in Kyoto, so naturally he wouldn't know that his sister has been sick for five years, and now her health is getting worse and worse. Wu Zhirou said a little sadly.
Sister Qianrou is her mother's biological daughter and a serious young lady. But Sister Qianrou has never disliked her, she is just a concubine born to a concubine, she will bring her some delicious food, and if she has any fun things, she will also say it and share it with her. Therefore, the relationship between them is like that of sisters. Whatever they have to say, they are willing to say to each other. Sister Qianrou is sick, she is really sad.
"Is Miss Wu Qianrou sick?" Xiao Ruo only felt that his heart suddenly wanted to be grabbed by a pair of hands, with a slight pain and a feeling of suffocation.
Wu Zhirou shook her head and said, "Maybe it's a heart disease." When she saw the worry on Xiao Ruo's face, and when she was sad, she unconsciously continued: "In the year when the new emperor ascended the throne, my father wanted to marry Sister Qianrou to a young master of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion. I heard that the boy ate, drank, prostitutes, and gambled, and everything was done. Sister Qianrou naturally refused to agree, but her father still insisted on going her own way. Somehow, that son drowned in the river in front of Goolan Street the day before the wedding. The marriage naturally ended, but after that, rumors of Qianrou's sister Kefu appeared. Since then, Sister Qianrou's health has become worse and worse, and because of this, Sister Qianrou has never gone out again. Therefore, her mother will now let her replace Sister Qianrou and move between the ladies of various provinces.
"What did the doctor say?" Where can Xiao Ruo care about whether Wu Zhirou will notice anything now, her whole heart is already on Wu Qianrou's body, and now she can't wait to run to Wu Mansion to see her.
"I just said that I had to take care of it well, I couldn't put too much thought into it, and I also prescribed a few pairs of medicines, but I always felt that Sister Qianrou's body was getting weaker and weaker." Wu Zhirou didn't know why she said so many things to a woman she had just met. It's just that she can see that this Boss Jin's worries are sincere. Although she couldn't figure out why.
"Why is this happening?" Xiao Ruo lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"Do you know Boss Jin and Sister Qianrou?" Wu Zhirou looked at Xiao Ruo and asked suspiciously. Because Xiao Ruo's appearance really doesn't look like the attitude that a caring stranger should have.
"I don't recognize it, I just think it's a pity that Miss Qianrou is so old." Xiao Ruo forced himself and continued to smile. It's just that she can laugh now.
"Then Zhirou will thank Boss Jin for Sister Qianrou's concern, and when Zhirou goes back, she will tell Sister Qianrou about today's events. Maybe when she finds out, she will be happier and her illness will get better. "Regardless of whether what Xiao Ruo said is true or not, at least Wu Zhirou chose to believe it, otherwise, there would be no other answer, wouldn't it?
"Then thank you, Miss Zhirou." Xiao Ruo nodded, she couldn't wait to see Wu Qianrou.
"Boss Jin is polite, Zhirou would like to thank Boss Jin for this bottle of jade cream!" Wu Zhirou said with a smile.
"This is what Miss Zhirou deserves today, it's nothing." Xiao Ruo shook her head and said. Wu Zhirou is like Wu Qianrou, who was often bullied by Xie Danniang back then, and it is natural for Xiaoruo to treat her preferentially.
"At home, the mother may have been waiting for Zhirou to come home, and Zhirou will not stay longer." As she spoke, Wu Zhirou stood up and saluted Xiao Ruofu.
After Xiao Ruofu returned the gift, he personally sent Wu Zhirou out of the gate of Juxia Building, looking at the distant back, Xiao Ruo thought in her heart that she had not seen Wu Qianrou for a long time.
