Chapter 23: Turnaround

Xianchen has always been carefree, and he doesn't hide things in his heart, but many unexpected things have come one after another recently, and he was too tired during the housekeeper's period, and he fell seriously ill. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, he barely cheered up, put a chaise longue in the courtyard, lay lazily, ordered to close the door and thank the guests, and basked in the sun quietly.

The little maid at the door came to report that Mrs. Xiao's room had led Miss Su Jinse, a cousin from Yunfu, to wait outside the door. The Su family has no female dependents, and they have not moved around during the New Year's Festival in previous years, but this year, Miss Biao went to school in the house, so she came to visit Mrs. Xiao on behalf of the Yun family, and because she was a good classmate with Xianchen, she came to sit at Xianchen's place.

Although she said that she was closed to the outside world, she was actually afraid of facing her family, she couldn't be indifferent to the current situation in Yanfu, and she couldn't easily ruin her life. No matter what the attitude of General Yan and Mrs. Xiao was, she was in a dilemma, so she had to hide first and find a way.

As soon as I heard that Su Jinse was coming, I couldn't tell the joy, and finally someone could chat and relieve my boredom. Hurriedly asked Xiao Yu'er to go out to greet him in person, and ordered Caixia to prepare refreshments, and he also sat up "ho", as if he had taken a panacea.

Seeing Su Jinse come in, Xian Chen immediately ran over, took her hand and went to the flower hall, chatting as she walked: "Why are you here?" I haven't seen you in a few days, are you okay? I'm bored, but it's a ...... you."

Jin Se saw that she was still as talkative as before, and her spirit was fine, so she smiled slightly: "Come and say hello to Mrs. Xiao, I heard that you are sick, come and see how well you are." ”

"It was very uncomfortable, but when I heard that you were coming, I was cured without medicine, and I don't know if you are the panacea." Xianchen said with a grin.

Su Jinse saw that she was wearing a silver embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirt today, with a powder and blue silk smock on the outside, a blue hairband tied the black hair at the back of her neck at will, her temples were fluffy, and occasionally a few traces of green silk floated up, which was quite a bit of the beauty of a prodigal wreckage. smiled and said, "You look good, but you must be very worried, right?" ”

Xian Chen, who was so easy to mention his interest, immediately felt like a frosted eggplant when he heard this: "Even you have heard about this matter, it is useless to be anxious, can you still force your head if you don't drink water?" ”

Su Jinse knew that she had poked her heart, but helplessly, the purpose of her coming today was this matter, so she said, "I don't know what General Yan wants?" Do you have a solution for yourself? ”

"Naturally, my father didn't want me to go that far, but if it was clear from there, but my father refused to do so, I think I would have a grudge in the future. I don't want him to go so far for me. I thought about it, it's a big deal to run away from home, and at most I will be laughed at for a while. ”

Su Jinse was shocked: "Don't come nonsense, you were just ...... by my cousin last time It caused a lot of gossip, and if you really ran away from home and didn't return all night, your reputation would be ruined. ”

"It's okay, it's a big deal not to marry someone for the rest of my life, and I won't marry someone I don't like." The dust broke the jar and broke the road.

Su Jinse glanced at Xian Chen, and Xian Chen understood, and asked Xiao Yu'er to lead the people out.

Su Jinse sat a step closer to Xian Chen, and whispered: "I know that you will take risks, so I am here to tell you that at least three months, at most half a year, this catastrophe will pass." You have to find a way to procrastinate, but don't act impulsively. ”

Xianchen looked at her in disbelief and said, "Why are you so sure? ”

"You just have to believe me, and I can't reveal anything else."

Xianchen didn't ask anymore when she knew her temperament, and the two chatted for a long time, Xianchen bit her lip, and after much entanglement, she still asked: "I heard that your cousin has taken a leave of absence from school because of his ill health, how are you now?" Can you go back to class? ”

"Yes, but by mid-July. I didn't go back to class, and my uncle asked my cousin for an errand in front of His Majesty, saying that it was an experience. ”

"Oh. What disease did he have? Don't get me wrong, he saved me after all, so I should have asked, right? Xianchen seemed to be explaining to Su Jinse, and as if he was explaining to himself.

Su Jinse showed a slightly surprised look: "You don't know? ”

"Should I know?"

"......" Su Jinse pondered for a moment and said, "It's really inconvenient for me to mention this matter without his permission, you have a chance to ask him again." ”

Su Jinse saw that it was not early, so he quit Xianchen and came out, but he bumped into Yan Lang at the door of Jingyuan. Both of them blushed, Su Jinse bowed and was about to leave, Yan Lang hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Miss Su is polite, are you here to see the third sister?" ”

Su Jinse said with a red face: "Yes." ”

"Miss Laosu is bothered, why don't you sit down again?" Yan Lang said sincerely.

"No, I've been bothering for a long time." Su Jinse still lowered his head, "Second son, I quit." Then he turned and left.

"Miss Su stays...... That one...... That 'rainstorm note' is indeed a good self-defense, and you must take it with you when you go out. ”

Su Jinse turned his head and glanced at him in surprise, then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't speak, but still turned to leave.

For a long time, Yan Lang stood in place stunned, and unconsciously walked in the direction where Su Jinse left. It seems that he forgot that he was here to find Xianchen, and he didn't even enter the door of the Jingyuan.

It's no wonder that he didn't really come to find Xianchen, but when he went to ask Mrs. Xiao to say goodbye, he heard that Miss Su came to see Xianchen, and he sent it to the door to pretend to meet by chance. As Xianchen said, "heavy color and light girl".

The Mid-Autumn Festival in August came as scheduled, and Mrs. Qiao brought several carts of gifts to visit on this day. There is a box of pearl agate, 100 pieces of jade, 100 pieces of silk and satin, and 10 boxes of high-quality medicinal materials...... got off at the gate of Yan's Mansion, and the gift boxes were continuously carried into Yan's Mansion, and a yard was set up sprinkled.

General Yan and Mrs. Xiao were both in a dilemma at the moment, General Yan easily squeezed a smile that was more ugly than crying and said: "Mrs. Qiao's arrival is far away, you are an elder, how dare you drive?" ”

Mrs. Qiao's smile froze for a moment, and then returned to her usual words: "General Yan is so polite, although I am a few years older, I dare not call myself an elder." Let's be commensurate with each other. ”

Mrs. Xiao played a round and said: "Mrs. Qiao, you are a distinguished guest, we dare not slack off, please use tea." As he spoke, he personally took the tea from the maid's hand and handed it over.

Mrs. Qiao did not go straight to the point, but talked to General Yan and Mrs. Xiao for a long time, nothing more than caring about Xiao Guogong's body, and said that Xiao Wubai, the son of the Xiao family, had a very good personal relationship with Liu Shangshu, and everyone would be a family in the future. At this moment, General Yan's face was extremely ugly, he had heard about Liu Baiqin's party, but he never thought that the Xiao family was also involved.

General Yan said goodbye and left on the grounds that "it is inconvenient to stay for a long time on official business", and when he left, he instructed: "Mrs. Qiao is a distinguished guest of the Yan Mansion, and Mrs. must greet her properly, and she must not break the rules and mess up her seniority." Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to respond.

Mrs. Qiao raised her hand and grabbed the Pearl of the East China Sea on her head, and was about to speak, when she saw a maid crawling in, looking panicked, and shouting: "Madam, it's not good, it's not good...... Third Miss She ......"
