Chapter 143: I Believe All the Nonsense
"I have been in Hanguang Temple for a long time, and I still maintain this calm temperament when I come back, and even my clothes are light-colored!
Gao looked at Qiao Nianxi with a smile on his face, and the words he said were all praise, full of kindness, if he didn't know her previous behavior, maybe he really believed it. (5) ∨ eight (5) ∨ eight (5) ∨ read (5) ∨ books, .●.●o
The so-called people talk about people, and ghosts talk about ghosts, but the people in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion have expressed this sentence vividly!
Although Qiao Chulian couldn't get used to hearing such an obvious lie from Gao, thinking about the purpose of coming, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qiao Nianxi with Gao's voice.
When touching Qiao Nianxi's light lotus dress, Qiao Chu's frowning eyebrows quickly dispersed, and the corners of his lips were forcibly hooked to bring a smile.
"Yes, the clothes of the third sister are all light-colored, and the accessories are also light-colored, and it is just right with her quiet personality, unlike other people who are lively and more stable and insufficient!"
While speaking, Qiao Chu glanced at Qiao Chuxi's face without a trace, and a touch of disdain curled up on his lips.
In an instant, the smell of gunpowder spread from the originally harmonious room.
Qiao Chuxi glared, and was about to refute but saw the old lady's warning gaze, and after thinking about it, he finally threw up his sleeves unwillingly and didn't speak.
"Yes, I regret that this child has served by the Buddha's side for many years, and he is also stained with a pure temperament, although the young children wear some gaudy clothes to look lively, but I look at it, we cherish the good-looking and wear anything!"
While speaking, the old lady took Qiao Nianxi's hand and patted it on the back of her hand, and her eyes fell on Qiao Nianxi with a smile on her face, the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became!
There is a bit of truth and a bit of falsehood in the old lady's words, I'm afraid the old lady herself can't say it clearly, but at least, from the disgust she avoided when she first came back to the present being willing to come out to support herself, it shows that this old lady is not as heartless as Qiao Hongyuan!
Qiao Nianxi thought in her heart, her eyes swept over everyone's faces, and a touch of cunning appeared in her eyes, it seems that she came a little late, and she missed a good show!
The current situation is very similar to the situation when Qiao Hongyuan and the Lin family proposed their daughters-in-law, but this time the old lady obviously knew it very clearly.
Thinking like this, Qiao Nianxi's lips rose, and a little softness emanated between her clear eyes.
"My grandmother worships the Buddha all the year round, and now she is still in the world, but she still has to serve her grandmother, and she must dress modestly. Qiao Nianxi didn't know what the old lady and the Gao mother and daughter had just said, but it was always right to follow the old lady.
When the old lady heard Qiao Nianxi holding herself like this, her originally smiling face bloomed a little, and she stretched out her hand and tapped on Qiao Nianxi's eyebrows: "Oh, your mouth is sweet!"
The old lady and Qiao Nianxi got along well, and Qiao Chuxi didn't feel good in her heart here, she pulled down her face but didn't show her anger at Qiao Nianxi, she couldn't control who the old lady liked, so she simply turned her head and didn't look at it, out of sight and out of mind.
Gao Shi and Qiao Chu saw that Qiao Nianxi was in a good mood, and the tension on their faces also dissipated, and they glanced at each other and nodded without a trace.
"I cherish this child's clear mind and generosity, it is indeed very liking!"
As if Gao Shi was talking nonsense and didn't want money for you, as he spoke, he made a color to the old lady and stretched out his hand and pointed to his wrist.
The old lady paused, remembered what she had just discussed, and pulled Qiao Nianxi to sit in front of her, with an unconcealable love on her face.
"Speaking of which, there is really something to tell you today, Princess Nanyang, who is far away in southern Xinjiang, sent someone to bring a gift back to Miss Yan from the princely mansion in the imperial capital, it is said that she made it herself, you see!"
While speaking, the old lady took out a bracelet of red thread from Cui's mother next to her.
The weaving of the bracelet has a bit of the craft characteristics of the southern Miao Township, in comparison, the bracelet is more complex, the colored threads play different patterns, separated by two bones to wear a delicate little golden lotus, and then separated by a heart-shaped red bean, very beautiful.
The heart-shaped red beans are not strangers, they should be the red beans mentioned in Wang Wei's ancient poem "Acacia", also called Acacia beans, the color is bright and ruddy, and it is an auspicious color, and many people have used it to make jewelry from ancient times to the present.
The moment her eyes stayed on the bracelet, Qiao Nianxi pursed her lips and smiled, with a little more appreciation on her face: "Princess Nanyang is ingenious, such a delicate thing takes a lot of thought, and the eldest sister is blessed." ”
said that it was for the concubine in the prince's mansion, but now there is only one, and it can only be the eldest daughter Qiao Chuying.
The old lady paused, turned her face to look at Gao Shi and Qiao Chu, a touch of joy floated leisurely in her eyes, and she continued with a relaxed expression.
"It is supposed to be for your eldest sister, but you also know that now she is ordered to worship the Buddha and copy the scriptures in the family temple, and it is not suitable to wear such a bright thing. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Chuxi's face instantly tensed, and he turned his face to look at Qiao Nianxi, and his eyes were a little more nervous.
Not only Qiao Chuxi, but also Gao and Qiao Chulian next to her also looked at her expectantly, and couldn't help but clench their hands nervously.
Qiao Nian took the expressions on everyone's faces into his eyes without a trace, his lips were hooked, and he was about to open his mouth, but he heard the old lady's words and floated over again.
"Now you are also the concubine of our Zhenguo Mansion, it is said that your eldest sister can't wear it, this bracelet should be given to you, but ......"
Halfway through speaking, the old lady stopped and turned her face to look at Gao and Qiao Chulian, and a look was handed over, and the two of them tightened their faces.
"That's right!"
Gao got the old lady's eyes and took over the conversation: "The fifth day of the next month is the birthday of your second sister's grandmother, this old man likes to be bright on his face, this bracelet is made by Princess Nanyang herself, and it carries festive acacia beans, so, the third aunt wants to ask, can the bracelet lend your second sister a few days?"
Borrow?
This kind of close-fitting object is old when it is sold, even if it is going to come back, who will wear it worn by others? This borrowing is a nice thing to say, but taking it back is a gift!
Sure enough, as long as the mother and daughter of the Third Courtyard have a smile on their faces, they must have some benefits!
Qiao Nian didn't speak, Qiao Chu next to him was in a hurry, don't you usually protect your things to death?
In any case, they are all members of the Third Academy, even if you don't like it, you give it to your sisters, and it won't be their turn!
At this time, Qiao Chuxi thought that Qiao Nianxi was a family, and when she didn't speak, she was in a hurry, turned her head and looked at the old lady's face was still happy, thought about it, and finally made up her mind to speak.
"Hey, doesn't the second sister like this lot of colors coming together?"
Qiao Chuxi seemed to think of something, his eyes flickered on the bracelet and Qiao Chulian's face a few times, but his seemingly harmless expression hid a touch of viciousness: "Last time, our second sister at the Fengyuan banquet said that my clothes were too messy!"
As soon as these words came out, the sacrificial moon standing on the side almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he was said to be a green-haired parrot by Gao Yun that day, and you still have the face to take it out and say, this brain the size of a melon seed, it's really hard for you to fight for everything!
Qiao Chuxi felt the movement of the moon, turned his head and glanced sideways, he could touch the gaze of the moon with a knife, his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly looked away.
Gao Shi looked at Qiao Chuxi, turned his head to look at Qiao Nianxi, and immediately changed his flattering appearance: "I just took it to support the façade for the old lady, not to mention that this bracelet is still tied with acacia beans, which means good!"
Qiao Chulian was not as thick-skinned as Gao's, so he only nodded in agreement and did not speak.
The old lady knew that the Gao family had no place in Qiao Nianxi's heart, so after thinking about it, she still opened her mouth: "You will lend it to your second sister for a day, and then return it to you when you come back, okay?"
Qiao Chupian went out to show off the face of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, the old lady has always liked these vanities, no matter where it is, as long as someone holds the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and speaks, she will be happy.
Qiao Nianxi seemed to listen to the old lady's words, turned her head and glanced at the bracelet in the box, and her expression changed slightly.
It is said that this bracelet is not unusual, but after all, it is an object made by Princess Nanyang herself, and the meaning is different.
What's more, I heard that King Nanyang has a plan to return to the imperial capital recently, and when the time comes, everyone who gets the bracelet will definitely wear it when they meet with Princess Nanyang.
Thinking like this in his heart, Qiao Nianxi was ready to refuse, reached out and took the bracelet in his hand, the colorful threads were intertwined, but there was no complicated feeling, and the pendant was decorated with golden lotus and acacia beans was even more exquisite, especially the acacia beans, which were red and moist, and must be the seeds of this year's new knots.
However, holding the bracelet in her hand, somehow an acacia bean happened to touch Qiao Nianxi's left little finger, and an electric tingling sensation quickly flowed through her body, making her face cold.
Poison?
How can it be poisonous? Sea red beans are non-toxic!
According to the analysis data, the toxicity content is not low, and it must not be contaminated on the surface, that is, it is the acacia bean itself that is poisonous?
Qiao Nianxi thought in her heart, went through the data of the chip again, suddenly remembered something, picked up a piece and looked at it carefully, and when she understood it, the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook.
This is not acacia beans, but hen beads!
Acacia beans are sea red beans, that is, the red beans in Wang Wei's "Acacia", which are heart-shaped and non-toxic, but on this bracelet are chicken mother beads, also known as acacia seeds, the common names of the two are one word apart, but they are worlds apart.
The seeds of hen beads contain a protein called hen bead toxin (acacia bean toxin), which is very toxic, and can be poisoned by mistake or close to the skin, and even fatal in severe cases.
Knowing this, it was because Qiao Nianxi occasionally solved a murder case during a training camp, and the polymer chemical formula was seen in the autopsy report, so he remembered it.
The chicken beads are not red all around, but the top third is brown, and now look closely, sure enough, the red beads on the bracelet have traces of polishing, in addition to grinding off the brown and made into a shape that is almost the same as the sea red bean, plus it is stained with a transparent coating around it to brighten, so if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.
"Nian Xi, what's wrong with you?"
The old lady saw that Qiao Nian didn't speak, and subconsciously thought that she was angry, and she was a little unbearable, no one could be happy if she was robbed, but this bracelet didn't have to be for Qiao Chupian to come, if she didn't want to, there was no need to force it.
Qiao Nianxi was summoned back to her senses by the old lady's voice, turned her head and glanced at everyone's faces, and secretly weighed in her heart.
