Chapter 239: Three Letters
Xia Zhiqiu had asked Xiaomei to go to the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion to find Ouyang Huaiyu five or six times, but every time she was prevaricated by the housekeeper for different reasons. Xia Zhiqiu almost wondered if Ouyang Huaiyu had lost his freshness to her.
Women can always be easily attracted to another novelty, such as Xia Zhiqiu, who was still immersed in the Su clan just now and was so sad that he couldn't extricate himself, heard that Ouyang Huaiyu might come to the polo field this time, and instantly planned to meet him with a perfect attitude.
Xiaomei didn't really understand this phenomenon, Xia Zhiqiu licked her lips, "Why are you still stunned?" Go find me clothes that I could still wear last year. I want to see him in the best possible way. ”
"Girl, do you want to write a letter to the Nineteenth Prince, where will you come to the polo field this time?"
Xia Zhiqiu has no doubt about this, if he dressed up and went to see Ouyang Huaiyu, but he didn't see Ouyang Huaiyu, wouldn't it be a wasted effort?
"You go and help me write a letter to Brother Huaiyu, just say that I will be there the day after tomorrow, and you can talk about it then." After speaking, Xia Zhiqiu went to the room to find clothes that had never been worn out before.
Xiaomei, who was standing in the hall, slowly moved to Xia Zhiqiu's study, she followed the ladies to read the book when she was young, and she did recognize a few words, but this time, Xiaomei kept a lot of eyes. She wrote two of the same letters. One letter was signed in Xia Zhiqiu's name, while the second letter was signed in Xia Zhixue's name.
After so many closed doors, she didn't believe that Ouyang Huaiyu really had something to do every day. What's more, once, Xiaomei squatted at the door of the Nineteen Princes' Mansion for a night, and she couldn't wait for Ouyang Huaiyu to come back. It was hard for her to guess whether the prince had not returned all night, or whether he didn't want to see the eldest lady at all.
Anyway, as long as the eldest lady can see Ouyang Huaiyu, it doesn't matter what, no matter who the process is called in.
At the same time, Cui Yingyu instructed a personal maid to write a letter to Ouyang Huaiyu, and the payment was also Xia Zhixue. Xia Zhixue, who was folding clothes in the room, suddenly sneezed twice in a row.
"Miss, but you're feeling cold? I just told Hou Ye about my illness today, and I suddenly caught a cold. Isn't the young lady's mouth open? The lotus smiled secretly on the side, but she didn't forget to add a fluffy coat to Xia Zhixue.
"What opened the mouth?" Furong came in with hot water and prepared to wash Xia Zhixue. "The windows are not closed, Miss doesn't feel the cold, who feels the cold?"
Fleur gently placed the basin full of hot water on the ground, and then walked to the window with a sword step, closing it tightly.
"You don't have to be so nervous. It's time for the change of seasons, but it could be that someone is saying bad things about me behind my back. ”
……
"You go and write a letter and hand it over to the Nineteenth Prince in person, remember to keep it secret. Even if you can't hand it over, you have to hand it over to the butler or the prince's personal guard. Remember, just say that you are the maid of the third lady of the Xia family. ”
Cui Yingyu cautiously handed over the written letter to a maid who usually didn't talk much. This servant girl is relatively reliable, and more importantly, Cui Yingyu controls her brother's life.
On the other side, Xiaomei, who was holding two letters, also hurried out of the door.
In the evening, there were few pedestrians on the road, which made the whereabouts of these two maidservants even more strange. Excellent reading books
Xiaomei was walking in the front, hearing footsteps following behind, Xiaomei slipped into the small alley next to her in a blink of an eye, and made sure that the footsteps of the people behind gradually walked away, and Xiaomei set off to the road of the Nineteenth Palace.
Cui Yingyu's maidservant arrived at the Nineteenth Palace's Mansion one step earlier than Xiaomei. "Bang bang bang~" The maid knocked on the door softly, and it just so happened that it was Ouyang Huaiyu's housekeeper who was on duty tonight.
The butler staggered over and opened the door.
"I am the maidservant of the third lady of the Xia family, and our young lady asked me to give this to the nineteenth prince." According to Cui Yingyu's explanation, the maidservant stuffed the envelope into the butler's hand, and then ran away with a smoke.
The butler silently put away the envelope, and then plugged in the doorknob. Before the housekeeper could walk to the door of Ouyang Huaiyu's study, there was another knock on the door, and the housekeeper had to open the door with staggering steps.
It was Xiaomei who knocked on the door, and she handed the envelope signed Xia Zhiqiu's name to the housekeeper, "This is the eldest lady of our Xia family who asked her to hand it over to the nineteenth prince." Please be sure to hand it over to the prince. Then he put a minot of silver into the butler's hand. It also slipped away with a puff of smoke.
But the difference is that Xiaomei didn't go far, she was waiting for the appearance of the time announcer, she couldn't directly send two letters to Ouyang Huaiyu at one time, Xia Zhixue and Xia Zhiqiu were incompatible, not to mention Ouyang Huaiyu, Ouyang Huaiyu's mansion should be clear to a random person. She had to wait for Naruto to appear, and by the way, she gave a letter with Xia Zhixue's name to Ouyang Huaiyu.
Xiaomei couldn't guess Ouyang Huaiyu's thoughts, but it was always right to be a double insurance for everything.
So, Xiaomei didn't wait too long, and Naruto quickly shouted "It's dry, be careful of the candle".
Mei rushed over with an arrow and stopped Naruto. The temptation of a silver ingot made Naruto knock on the door of the Nineteen Palaces again. At this time, the housekeeper was already a little impatient, what was going on tonight? I don't know how the prince got involved with so many people, last time it was the eldest lady of the Xia family, last time it was the third miss of the Xia family, will it be the turn of the young master of the Xia family this time?
The butler thought about it as he came to the door of the house.
This time it was no longer a maidservant, but a Naruto, and the butler's heart was suddenly full of doubts, what kind of letter did this Naruto write to the prince?
But I heard Naruto say, "This is sent by the third lady of the Xia family." said that it was personally handed over to the nineteen princes. ”
The butler took the envelope from Naruto, only to notice that his other hand was clutching something tightly. You don't have to guess to know what kind of silver it must be. Naruto must have been called out of nowhere to deliver the letter. The butler took out the silver ingot that Xiaomei had just handed him and handed it to Naruto.
"Remember who you're working for. If you say it, your head won't necessarily be on your head. ”
The steward did not know where the three letters came from, but he could not open them without permission. But he was afraid that if something went wrong with these three letters in the future, he was afraid that it would be detrimental to the reputation of the prince. The butler has envisioned the worst-case scenario, and as this kind of steward of everyone, he always has to keep an eye on everything.
Naruto sent a letter and got two ingots of silver, and his heart was so happy that he almost sang a song and sang. Xiaomei, who was staring at the side, watched that the matter was finally done, so she packed up and went back to the waiting house to hand over the errand.
Xia Zhiqiu waited for Xiaomei's return with trepidation, and finally fell to the ground the moment he heard the door ring.
Xiaomei patted her chest and made a confident promise, "Don't worry, girl, the prince will definitely come!" ”
