Chapter 23: Shoot yourself in the foot
But there was nothing but the wind blowing and the branches shaking.
"I saw a flash of purple just now, why is it gone? Could it be that I miss that handsome guy too much?"
Qiao Nianxi muttered, and frowned: "Speaking of which, the three-day deadline has also arrived, I don't know if he can find me!"
Somehow, Qiao Nianxi had some expectations for the reunion with that person, although she had only met her once, she felt that she couldn't understand it.
"Third Miss, please come with the old slave!"
The housekeeper saw Qiao Nianxi tilting his head and reminding him.
"Oh!"
Qiao Nianxi retracted his thoughts and followed the housekeeper inside.
Passing by, Qiao Nianxi secretly remembered the route in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help sneering again.
It seems that the original owner is really a bully, such a far yard, almost to the back door of the Zhenguo Mansion, and everyone is unwilling to let her always show up.
However, since the original owner gave this body to Qiao Nianxi, she has to get it back, whether it is for the original owner or for herself.
Qiao Nianxi wore the cloak given by the Lin family, looked at it all the way, and when she turned her head, she always felt that something was scratching the back of her neck, and after a few times, there was a tingling sensation.
Stopping, Qiao Nianxi untied the cloak, swept his gaze over the collar, stretched out his hand towards the feather, and two silver needles were pulled out with Qiao Nianxi's hand.
Qiao Nianxi didn't speak, just stared at the silver needle for a long time, snorted coldly, reinserted the silver needle into the brocade collar of the cloak, and continued to walk with the butler as if nothing happened.
After bypassing two corridors, passing a flower garden, and crossing a pond, the butler stopped in the most secluded corner of the Zhenguo Mansion.
"Third Miss, this is Huayue Pavilion. ”
The housekeeper explained, let Qiao Nianxi in, and couldn't help sighing.
The housekeeper Uncle Li is the son of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, how old he lived, how many years he stayed in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, he was loyal and loving, and the Zhenguo Marquis respected him very much.
Seeing Qiao Nianxi go in without making a sound, Uncle Li shouted in the back again: "Third Miss is the first time to come, if you have any grievances, bear with it first, and only after a while can you calm down." ”
There are some things that Uncle Li can't say more, his leg was healed by Aunt Zhang, and he is a little more grateful to Qiao Nianxi, but after all, he is a subordinate, it's okay to mention some, and nothing else can be done.
Qiao Nianxi didn't know the reason for this, but seeing that Uncle Li was different from those people, he was a little softer to him: "Thank you Uncle Li for mentioning something, I will take care of myself." ”
After saying a word, Qiao Nianxi turned around and walked in, leaving only Uncle Li sighing leisurely outside the door.
"I've seen Miss Three!"
The three voices came out in unison when Qiao Nianxi came in.
Qiao Nianxi stopped, her eyes swept over the faces of the three people who came over, and her eyes were a little more scrutinized.
Judging from their age and clothing, it is obvious that one mother, two maids, and three people have a smile on their faces, just laughing, and have no feelings.
The mother may be more sophisticated, she can control the expression on her face, and she didn't show anything in the face of Qiao Nianxi, but when the two maids looked at Qiao Nianxi, they still tilted their heads, obviously not taking this unlucky young lady in their eyes.
"Get up!"
Qiao Nian raised his hand and asked them to get up, and his face did not change much.
Maybe it was this reaction that made the three of them a little surprised, with a cowardly character like Miss Three, shouldn't she express it to her subordinates when she first arrives, and ask them to be dedicated to themselves?
But looking at the person in front of them, that noble temperament actually suppressed them, and just said a word, which suppressed their energy, so it seems that the task given by Mrs. Hou is not so easy to complete!
"The third miss just came back and doesn't know us, let the old slave introduce the third miss first!"
The mother was the first to react, and as she spoke, she looked up at Qiao Nianxi, and saw her nodding, so she continued, "The old slave is Mother Chun, this is Bai Ke, this is Bai Pear, now that the third miss is back, I will be sent over to serve the third miss, and I will definitely do my best." ”
Qiao Nianxi nodded, her eyes swept over the faces of the three of them again, Mother Chun was only thirty or forty years old, and she looked quite kind, and the white pears on the side were also beautiful and moving, but the arrogance that came out of thin air made people look a little uncomfortable.
Retracting his gaze, Qiao Nianxi seemed to ask casually: "You all used to work in your mother's yard?"
Mother Chun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Miss Huisan, the old slave was originally the second-class mother of Yumantang, and Bai Ke and Baili were second-class maids, and Mrs. Hou was afraid that the new mother and maid would not take good care of her, so she sent us over." ”
Qiao Nianxi still nodded, but when she saw Da Bai Ke Baili obviously raised her head when she heard Chun's mother say "second-class maid", she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
The second-class maids dare to be so domineering, it can be seen how arrogant the Lin family has become in this family, no wonder the old lady is unhappy with her.
"The courtyard of the third lady is here, and the slave maid will put the third lady's salute together. ”
As Mother Chun spoke, she was about to reach out and take Qiao Nianxi's things.
It's said to be luggage, but it's just a package of a few clothes, what is there to put away?
However, Mother Chun's words also reminded Qiao Nianxi that the yard was hers, and she hadn't had time to take a good look, however, this look made Qiao Nianxi clench her hands tightly, this Huayue Pavilion called a beautiful name out of thin air, but it had nothing to do with beauty at all.
Looking around, the windows are covered with cobwebs, and the yard is overgrown with weeds, so no one will live in such a place!
Retracted his gaze and looked at the clothes on the three of them, although they were all second-class minions, they were all brocade and smoke skirts, coupled with that arrogance, the tone said that they were here to serve people, but it was better to say that they came to be a young lady, this is obviously another disadvantage of the Lin family!
"Don't worry about the luggage, I don't like the grass in this yard, you guys clean up the yard first!"
Qiao Nianxi stretched out his hand and pointed to the weeds all over the yard and instructed the three of them, turned around and found a clean place, walked over with the package and sat on the platform.
The three of them looked at each other, originally thinking that she would cry and be wronged, but they didn't expect to send the work to them! No, Mrs. Hou didn't say that before she came!
"What's wrong? Are you waiting for me to do it?"
Seeing that the three of them did not move, Qiao Nianxi's face turned cold, and a trace of fierceness flashed between her clear eyes.
"Why, how! We're going to clean it up!"
Mother Chun reacted and glanced at Bai Ke and Bai Li, and the three of them reluctantly but helplessly squatted down to pull the weeds, and the specific situation had not yet been reported to Mrs. Hou, so now they can only endure it.
Qiao Nianxi was quite satisfied with this reaction, while watching the three of them work, he reached out and took out an apple from the package, wiped it with the cloth of the package, and bit it down.
The sweet juice filled the lips and tongue, such a taste is not found in modern times, Qiao Nianxi squinted his eyes and tasted it carefully, his face was indescribably pleasant.
The three people in the courtyard saw Qiao Nianxi's appearance like this, and they were almost so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out, didn't they say that the third lady was cowardly and afraid of things? What the hell is the person sitting under the sun now eating apples and enjoying himself!
However, annoyance is annoyance, and now the three of them dare not say anything, after all, they came with a mission.
Under the scorching sun, only the crisp sounds of one after another and the sound of pulling weeds were heard, and Mother Chun and the two maids were sweating after a while, they were second-class status, where had they ever done such coolies!
However, you have to do it if you haven't done it before, and if you just let it go, you won't be comfortable finding it, and maybe the situation will not be as good as it is now.
Qiao Nianxi squinted at the three of them while eating apples, a wicked smile crossed the corner of her lips, and she was about to speak, but she heard a sharp exclamation from outside the courtyard.
"What the hell is this place!
The movements of everyone's hands stopped, and they all looked towards the door, only to see a brightly dressed figure appear in front of everyone.
Although he covered his mouth and nose with his hands with disgust, the sharpness of his face was still recognizable, wasn't this Qiao Chuxi who was fighting in the hall just now?
Qiao Chuxi walked inside, raised his foot and kicked away the branches and messy things in front of him, and his arrogant and domineering appearance was not at all related to the well-behaved appearance of the old lady.
In a moment, Qiao Nianxi sent the apple in his hand to his mouth again, although this ancient was not developed, but the food is pure and natural, and the taste is delicious!
"Third sister, this mood is really good!"
Qiao Chuxi walked in with a mockery, but seeing that Qiao Nianxi's face was not annoyed, and he even enjoyed such a life very much, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Click, another bite!
Qiao Nianxi chewed the crisp apple in his mouth, squinted his eyes and glanced at it, and then slowly chewed and swallowed it, and then replied: "It's not bad! The sun here is very warm, and it makes people want to sleep." ”
In a word, the faces of the four people all changed, and the three people who were squatting on the ground and working looked at each other, and for a while they couldn't figure out the meaning of Qiao Nian's pity, and their hearts hung up.
Putting everyone's expressions into his eyes, Qiao Nianxi curled the corners of her lips as if she thought of something, and continued: "Speaking of which, the fifth sister's hundred times of female virtue was copied so quickly?"
Qiao Chuxi's face darkened, and he glared at Qiao Nianxi, but after thinking about his purpose for a moment, he was fierce again.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs, since you like it here, let's live well!"
Qiao Chuxi endured his temperament, and after saying a word, he raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Nianxi, and didn't say much, and went straight to the topic: "I heard that my grandmother rewarded the third sister with a set of pink heads, I was thinking, the third sister grew up in the temple, she shouldn't like such a bright color, and it's a pity to put it at the bottom of the box, it's better for my sister to help the third sister wear it, it's not a tyrannical thing." ”
It turned out that he was here to grab something!
This sister has nothing else particularly outstanding, but this shameless character is really inherited from Qiao Hongyuan, and it is really biological!
Qiao Nianxi curled the corners of her lips and sneered, raised her head to meet Qiao Chuxi's gaze, and just when everyone thought she was going to refuse sternly, she changed her words: "You said you came to help me clean up the yard? Then I will thank you, the cobwebs on the window will trouble the fifth sister!"
Poof!
Bai Ke and Bai Li, who were still squatting and pulling weeds with hatred on their faces, couldn't help laughing, the third lady's mouth is really good!
