024 The canteen is cleared
"It seems that Miss Fang Er's feelings are no less than Qin Han's, and Qin Han admires them."
"The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other. Why bother to greet and deliberately praise my husband and me? ”
Fang Qingxi's straightforward temperament made Li Qinhan look at her even more, you must know that there are generally only two kinds of people who can tell the truth without reservation, one is really scheming, and the other is to see everything in his eyes, remember it in his heart, and only after careful thinking will he speak. For Fang Qingxi, Li Qinhan believes that she is the latter.
"I just brewed the tea, Miss Fang Er taste it?"
Before today, Li Qinhan only regarded Fang Qingxi as the daughter of the noble house, but after today, she will definitely make a complete change of thinking.
Fang Qingxi, definitely not ordinary.
Wu Zhen's choice is correct, she is stronger than herself, at least she will not be a drag on him.
Coming out of Li Qinhan, Fang Qingxi sent the Li sisters out of Jiaoyanfang. At noon, I was a little hungry, so I thought about going to the canteen of Jiaoyanfang to have a meal, I would be tired of eating a small stove in the yard, and it was a good choice to try more.
After instructing Wanxin and Rosary not to prepare lunch, Fang Qingxi came to the dining hall alone.
In Jiaoyanfang for so many days, Fang Qingxi came to the canteen for the first time.
The canteen of Jiaoyanfang is not so much a place to eat as a restaurant, with a beautiful two-story building and sandalwood tables and chairs carved with exquisite patterns, which gives people a bright feeling as soon as they enter the lobby. It's not as noisy as the restaurant outside, it's unexpected, it's absolutely quiet, and all kinds of beauties eat here, which adds a different feeling here, and the appetite suddenly opens, and the food color is also said to be this truth.
I found a seat around the corner on the first floor, and the guy from the canteen brought me the ordinary food on the first floor. Looking at the food on the table, Fang Qingxi didn't feel anything wrong. But the two who just came were different.
"Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be the second lady of the Fang family."
Zheng Qi'er and the others, who were about to go up to the second floor, happened to see Fang Qingxi eating around the corner. Fang Qingxi had never been to the canteen and didn't know the rules of the canteen, but the others knew it, so they had to look at Fang Qingxi differently.
The reason why the canteen is divided into two floors is to separate the master and servant. The first floor is a place for the attendants, how can the food be compared with the ladies and gentlemen on the second floor? Fang Qingxi chose to eat on the first floor, isn't it self-inflicted?
There are different visions around them, some curious, some suspicious, some sympathetic, and of course, there is no lack of contempt and disdain. Feeling everyone's gaze, Fang Qingxi had nothing but doubts. She just came to the dining hall for a meal, how could she attract so many eyes? Could it be that I did something wrong?
Seeing that many eyes were on Fang Qingxi, Zheng Qi'er's anger was mostly gone, but she was very dissatisfied with Fang Qingxi's indifferent attitude, it stands to reason that Fang Qingxi knew that everyone's attitude towards her should have been expressed, at least she had to react a little, but now she was standing there, and she had no intention of speaking.
"Qingxi, don't you know that this is a place for people to eat?"
Fang Zhiling, who was beside Zheng Qi'er, saw Fang Qingxi standing there with a puzzled expression, she was a little unbearable, so she spoke.
"I ......"
"It seems that Miss Fang Er really doesn't know that this is a place for people to eat, no wonder she took the initiative to pick such a place, maybe she is self-aware."
Zhao Xiyan's words were yin and yang, and Qingxi had long known that she was in the same group as Zheng Qi'er. Since she came to Jiaoyanfang, Zheng Qier and Zhao Xiyan have always squeezed themselves openly and secretly, before she felt that she didn't care so much about them for the sake of the eldest sister's face, but now this situation is a little too much to say.
"I've never been here, and I didn't know there was such a rule."
"Okay, sorry for the words, let's not disturb Second Miss Fang here. Didn't people say it, the first time I came to the canteen, I didn't see where I wanted to stay, so I found my own suitable one. Those who don't know are not guilty, so let's go to dinner. ”
Zheng Qi'er's words were just right, not only to embarrass Fang Qingxi by winning back a game, but also to embarrass Fang Zhiling without losing the face of the Fang family, such a good strategy of killing two birds with one stone is not easy to think of, it is conceivable that such aggressive words have been said more than once or twice, and it is not necessarily difficult to do it in his own house, how many people have been fighting. Perhaps, this is the sorrow of the ladies of the big families.
"Won't you go up with me?"
Seeing that Fang Qingxi intended to stay downstairs, Fang Zhiling's face was a little unpleasant. Zheng Qi'er didn't mean to make the Fang family's face gloomy, and Fang Zhiling didn't want to get involved too much, but it might be inappropriate to leave Qingxi alone on the first floor at this time, if this was spread out, I was afraid that people would think that the two sisters of the Fang family were not in harmony, although this was a fact, but Fang Zhiling didn't want Fang Weizhong to have a headache because of this kind of trivial matter between sisters.
“……”
At this time, Fang Qingxi was a little conflicted in her heart, she knew that her eldest sister was giving her the stairs, but she really didn't want to sit at the same table with someone like Zheng Qi'er.
"You're all here!"
Hearing the sound and looking for it, everyone saw Wu Zhen walking down from the second floor. Wu Zhen was watching from upstairs, and he didn't go downstairs for a long time just because he was thinking about whether he should help Fang Qingxi once. He didn't plan to help, after that day's events, he had already dispelled the idea of starting from Fang Qingxi, he didn't want Fang Qingxi to have the illusion because he helped her. But hearing Zheng Qi'er's remarks, Wu Zhen decided to help Fang Qingxi once, and Zheng Qi'er became more and more presumptuous.
"Lord Wang."
"Lord Wang."
Everyone gave a salute when they saw Wu Zhen, although Fang Qingxi had a bad impression of Wu Zhen, but the rules were not good.
"Lord Wang."
"Miss Fang Er asked this king to wait, it turned out that she had found the wrong seat."
As soon as Wu Zhen's words came out, everyone was puzzled, but they more or less understood from it, as if the prince was waiting for the second lady of the Fang family. Why did the prince wait for a young lady who had not left the cabinet in the dining hall, his class had not been given to Fang Qingxi, and Fang Qingxi couldn't come up with any reason to be with him. What's going on?
"Lord Wang, this ......"
Zheng Qi'er, who was the princess on the side, was the first to open her mouth after understanding the meaning of Wu Zhen's words, she didn't believe that her husband-to-be would have dinner with her rival here, she must ask for clarification today.
"Here's the thing, the young master of the Fang family came to this king a few days ago to talk about the second miss of the Fang family, and the young master Fang hopes that this king can take care of the second miss Fang, afraid that she will suffer a loss in Jiaoyanfang. No, this king is here to invite Miss Fang Er to have dinner together, and by the way, I will ask a few words. Who would have thought that Miss Fang Er had found the wrong place, so she made a joke. ”
In Fang Qingxi's impression, Wu Zhen is an indifferent and arrogant prince who doesn't talk much, and today he makes her puzzled, could it be that he can only make a cold and domineering appearance in front of her? Or is that his nature, and now he's just disguising himself? She trusts the latter more easily than the former.
"Qingxi, is that so?"
Fang Zhiling could see that Wu Zhen was clearly defending her sister, and she couldn't say anything. The candidate for the princess has not moved for a long time, who knows who will be the concubine? If her sister is really going to be the concubine by King Cheng, Zheng Qi'er may be helpless, although there is only a word difference between the concubine and the side concubine, but the difference is more than a little bit.
Facing Zhiling's inquiring gaze, Qing Xi was silent for a moment and then replied:
"Yes."
Although Fang Qingxi's voice was small, it clearly reached the ears of Zheng Qi'er and the others. So far, it is difficult for Zheng Qier and others to continue to investigate.
"Since the prince wants to invite Sister Qingxi to dinner, Qi'er won't bother."
Zheng Qi'er's sentence "Sister Qingxi" made Qingxi feel very uncomfortable, people who were incompatible with her on weekdays suddenly changed their attitude towards herself, and it was in front of Wu Zhen, she naturally didn't feel good in her heart, in her opinion, everything Zheng Qi'er did was nothing more than to please her future husband, so as to leave a place in the palace. It's just that such a woman will be pitied by Wu Zhen? In his heart, he may really be all the chess pieces sacrificed for the country except for the country, including women.
"It's going to be a little cold in the morning these days, and at night, I told the girl who kept vigil to close the window and be careful of catching a cold."
Such gentle words came out of Wu Zhen's mouth that Fang Qingxi didn't expect, although he didn't say it to Fang Qingxi, he also had a strange feeling. What she didn't know was that this prince had always been known for his coldness, and he didn't have many times to be gentle, but he had always been extremely gentle with his own women.
"Got it."
Being able to get Wu Zhen's care, Zheng Qi'er lowered her head shyly, this was the first time Wu Zhen cared so much about herself.
After Zheng Qi'er and the others left, Fang Qingxi also lost interest in eating, and turned to say goodbye to Wu Zhen on the side.
"Lord, if I have something to do, I won't disturb the prince's meal, and I will leave."
"Miss Fang Er, won't she be hungry if you don't eat lunch?"
Wu Zhen noticed the dodge in Fang Qingxi's eyes, since this was the case, he no longer bothered her.
"The prince is too worried, no matter what, this is my own business, don't bother the prince."
Because she was eating in the canteen, Fang Qingxi deliberately lowered her voice, and her words were only said to Wu Zhen alone.
"Don't come out to eat next time, you won't starve to death in your own house. The face of the Fang family is face, so don't you want your reputation? Next time, no one will come to your aid. ”
The tone of Wu Zhen's words was indispensable to blame, and although Qingxi didn't appreciate it, he still tried his best to maintain the smile on his face.
"The prince has good intentions, but the prince doesn't have to be like this next time."
Fang Qingxi's unappreciative attitude was something Wu Zhen had long expected, what he didn't expect was that she was so straightforward and had no scruples, looking at Fang Qingxi's back, Wu Zhen had nothing but a wry smile.
Since she didn't accept his affection, he would make her have a long memory.
★★★★★
According to the usual practice, it was the day when Fang Qingxi returned home, and Wanxin began to pack Fang Qingxi's clothes early in the morning. It's autumn, and she has to change the clothes for the young lady to avoid catching a cold.
Everything is ready, and Qingxi plans to take Wanxin back home earlier. The last time I went back to the house was too hurried, and I didn't even have time to return to Rong Ge, this time it must not be like this.
After getting into the carriage, Fang Qingxi was also relieved, it was a blessing that she didn't meet that prince today, and now she was finally able to get home safely.
There were bumps along the way, and Qingxi and Wanxin didn't feel anything wrong. After the carriage stopped, Fang Qingxi realized how wrong he was.
"Miss, this ......"
Looking at the plaque at the door of the house, Wanxin didn't know what to say for a while, and her own lady's luck today was not very good.
"What is Steward Qin's purpose in bringing us here?"
A few big characters on the plaque came into Fang Qingxi's eyes, "Chengwangfu", these are probably the three most dazzling words.
