Chapter 210: Visit
Lotus helped Xia Zhixue all the way to the main hall, Xia Zhixue was a little surprised, if it was normal, she would definitely not have walked back, she could see Xia Zhiqiu sipping tea while holding the maid in her room to get angry. This is also the reason why every time Xia Zhiqiu comes, Xia Zhixue's maid will rush to the back room to do things.
"Didn't you say that the eldest lady is here? Why didn't you see her? ”
The maidservant girl who had just come to report had a small voice like a mosquito, "The eldest lady is still waiting outside." ”
Xia Zhixue frowned, isn't this Xia Zhiqiu's style? Did you take the wrong medicine today? Lotus was also full of doubts when she heard it, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Xia Zhiqiu today?
"Let her in." Xia Zhixue waved her hand, and then sat on the main seat.
Soon the maidservant girl led Xia Zhiqiu in. Xia Zhiqiu's dress today is unusually simple, without the usual purple and red, Xia Zhixue is really a little unaccustomed.
"Lotus, why don't you know how to prepare tea when your guests come?" Xia Zhixue's face was full of anger, but in fact, she really wanted to take a good look at what kind of demon this Xia Zhiqiu wanted to be?
"What a distinguished guest is not a valuable guest. The third sister is really serious. My sister just came to see my sister. By the way, I saw that the apricot trees in the yard were blooming very well, so I picked a few big ones for my sister to taste. As he spoke, he motioned to the maidservant next to him to hand it over to Xia Zhixue.
The apricot fragrance that came last year made Xia Zhixue want to drool greedily. But this was sent by Xia Zhiqiu, if there was nothing else, how could he come to send this good thing to himself?
"Eldest sister has something to ask her sister today, right?" Xia Zhixue took a sip of tea unhurriedly, but she didn't mean to take the sweet apricot. The maidservant who was responsible for delivering the apricots was not, and it was not appropriate to take it back, so she had to obediently maintain a bent posture.
"My sister is wronging my sister when she says that." Xia Zhiqiu's face was full of grievances, and a pair of pitiful apricot eyes were about to shed tears. "My sister just thought that this sweet apricot was excellent, so I brought it to my sister to taste, but I didn't expect my sister to think like this. Sister's heart is really cold. ”
Heh, Xia Zhixue sneered in her heart, if you want to say that this Xia Zhiqiu is specially here to send sweet apricots to herself, it is better to say that this sweet apricot is poisonous, and she can still believe it.
The maidservant girl on the side was still holding the apricot, and finally her arm couldn't stand the soreness, and the apricots were all scattered all over the ground.
Xia Zhixue remembered that there was such a servant, so she hurriedly instructed the lotus to help the handmaiden pick up the sweet apricots on the ground. Seeing this situation, Xia Zhiqiu hurriedly stood up, pointed to the maid's nose and said, "You are so careless, how do you let the third sister eat?" If the third sister starts a fire and wants your life, I can't save you! ”
Feelings, this is a change of law, saying that he is cruel, but he didn't expect Xia Zhiqiu to be so sharp now.
"It's just some sweet apricots. Don't. I won't punish you, just be careful next time. Xia Zhixue gave the lotus a look, and the lotus quietly helped up the maid who was kneeling and crying.
The maid hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, and the lotus finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled it up directly to the maidservant, "Okay, I don't know, I think our young lady likes to ask for the lives of some innocent people." The lotus deliberately used the word "innocent" and bit very hard. Xia Zhiqiu came this time, and she could see that she hadn't changed her way to find fault with Miss. But if Su is dead, he is dead, if it wasn't for the idea of always beating Miss, how could he end up like this? 88
Xia Zhiqiu bit his lip and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. If you can't hold back now, all your hard work will be in vain. So she forced out a smile, "Don't apologize to the third lady soon." The three sisters blame this clumsy subordinate, and the next time they come, their sister will bring them to their younger sister. ”
Before Xia Zhixue could speak, Lotus put down the sweet apricot in her hand, "Lotus thank Miss for her kindness, but Miss Lotus doesn't know, our Miss is allergic to this sweet apricot, so we won't bother Miss to run again." If something goes wrong with the young lady, maybe there are still people who suspect that the eldest lady is murdering your own sister. ”
Xia Zhixue was amused by the lotus flower's appearance, but she still couldn't hold back her laughter and smiled gently at Xia Zhiqiu, "It's true, it's really a waste of the eldest sister's kindness." Eldest sister, I'm going to sleep, eldest sister, why don't you go back and rest first! "That's what it means to chase customers. However, today's goal has been achieved, and I don't expect this Xia Zhixue to eliminate her defenses or anything at once.
Xia Zhiqiu led the maidservant out of Xia Zhixue's courtyard.
Looking at the sweet apricots scattered all over the place, Xia Zhixue couldn't help but feel a little distressed. I don't have an allergy to sweet apricots. What's more, Xia Zhixue basically doesn't have any fruits that she doesn't like to eat, especially the sweet apricots in this autumn, and she really feels very happy when she takes a bite.
"Miss," Lotus kept watching Xia Zhiqiu walk away, before turning her head to look at Xia Zhixue and said, "Did you ask what it tastes like?" ”
Xia Zhixue sniffed vigorously, "Yes, the sweetness of the apricots in the room." ”
Lotus squinted her eyes helplessly, if Miss was poisoned one day, she didn't know how she died.
"No, it's not. I mean, did you ask about the smell of arsenic, frost, or something. ”
Xia Zhixue hit the lotus on the head, this girl is really getting more and more nervous. "No matter how stupid Xia Zhiqiu is, she won't be stupid enough to poison this sweet apricot, if I die, the first person to find out is her!"
Lotus scratched her chin, indeed, what Miss said did make sense. But she always felt that today's Xia Zhiqiu was strange compared to usual. Weasels can give New Year's greetings to chickens, how can they have any good intentions?
Xia Zhixue looked at Lotus's worried face, so she pinched Lotus's face, "This can only show that Xia Zhiqiu has a brain." Lotus, we will have a hard time in the future. I'm not afraid that Xia Zhiqiu will go on a rampage, I'm afraid that she has brains, and there will be another enemy in the shadows in the future. ”
The lotus silently cleaned up the sweet apricots on the ground, yes, if Xia Zhiqiu really has a countermeasure in the future, there is no doubt that it is another Su Shi who has "lived". The young lady wasted so much strength to bring down the Su family, and now there is another daughter of hers. If it was Xia Zhiqiu in the past, in addition to saying a few bad words about Xia Zhixue every day, and being a gunner of the Su clan, these would not be enough to worry. It's just tickling the giant.
But now Xia Zhiqiu is quiet and makes people feel frightened. gentle, intellectual, and most importantly, when I came to send sweet apricots to Xia Zhixue today, I would secretly satirize Xia Zhixue's reputation.
Suddenly, the lotus asked a stronger sweet apricot flavor, and for a while, the lotus's saliva was about to flow out. The lotus turned her head and saw that it was Xia Zhixue who was stealing sweet apricots.
"Since it's all delivered, there's no reason to waste it. Lotus, you taste, especially sweet! ”
