Chapter 117: Talking nonsense is like not asking for money
"Miss is back!"
Zhihua was busy, and inadvertently turned his head to see Qiao Nianxi and Saiyue coming in, put down the work in his hand and got up to pick it up, seeing that Qiao Nianxi seemed to be in a good mood, and there was a little more smile on his face.
Zhihua has been with Qiao Nianxi since the beginning, and she has been accepted as a confidant, although she is young, she can be regarded as a relatively old person in Mellow Xiangyuan, Qiao Nianxi doesn't like too many servants around her, so she is promoted to a first-class maid around her.
Speaking of which, Zhihua is also smart and clever, but also a visionary, although it is a big girl in the yard, but everywhere to worship the moon as the big, come over at the same time to worship the moon in the hand of the things down, follow in.
After entering the house, Zhihua put it away, and brought the tea that had been prepared to Qiao Nianxi: "Miss drink tea!"
Qiao Nianxi stretched out her hand to take the cup, her eyes fell on Zhihua, and suddenly remembered what Ye Xuanling said, there are people with outside hearts in his yard!
Thinking in his heart, Qiao Nianxi's eyes were cool, and he held a cup in his hand, but he didn't drink it for a long time, and he wrinkled his brows and fell into deep thought.
"Miss, what's wrong?Is the tea not the right taste?" Zhihua saw that Qiao Nianxi was so gloomy, and subconsciously became a little more nervous.
Qiao Nianxi usually looks like hee-hee-ha, and rarely thinks about being so cold now, and she is really scared of Zhihua for a while.
Qiao Nianxi was reminded of a question, turned his hand and put the cup on the table, his clear eyes were silent: "Is there anything wrong in our yard recently, or someone who is wrong?"
Zhihua paused, looked at Qiao Nianxi's solemn face, wrinkled his brows and thought about it carefully, and shook his head: "Recently, everyone is no different from usual, and there is nothing abnormal." ”
Qiao Nianxi nodded indifferently, her face was solemn, and she reached out and took a shallow sip of the cup: "During this time, you pay more attention to the people in the courtyard, and tell me anything unusual as soon as possible." ”
Zhihua was stunned for a moment, suddenly understood something, and said in surprise: "But there are people with two hearts in our yard?"
Xu was too surprised, and Zhihua shouted directly.
"What are you shouting!"
Sai Yue's face was stunned, and he hurriedly covered Zhihua's mouth, and then glanced at the door, and when he saw that no one was there, he let go, and said with hatred: "There are some things you know, you don't have to say it, Miss trusts you to tell you this, you should also know how to measure!"
Zhihua knew that he had done something wrong, rubbed his hands and looked nervous, and he didn't dare to speak, so he only responded again and again: "Yes, Zhihua will definitely pay attention to the people in the yard!"
"Don't be so nervous, just like usual, you can go out first!" Qiao Nianxi took a sip of tea and waved his hand towards Zhihua.
There is no doubt that this child is loyal, but after all, he is young and has little experience, so he still needs to be experienced.
"Yes!" Zhihua got up and retreated, looked up at Qiao Nianxi near the door, and walked out.
"Does Miss think it will be someone from our yard?"
According to Qiao Nianxi's instructions, Saiyue put the empty box that originally contained the four treasures of the shark bone study on the shelf, and turned around and walked to him.
Qiao Nianxi narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and said leisurely: "It's hard to say, since King Ji has people around him who can shrink his bones and change his appearance, he can't guarantee that the people around him will be recruited, people are in the dark, and we are in the light, so we must be on guard everywhere." ”
Saiyue lowered her head and thought about it, her face was a little more solemn, Qiao Nianxi was right, a person like King Ji did make any tricks, and before he found that person, it was possible for anyone.
Here, Qiao Nian was thinking about how to deal with the people hiding in the shadows, and the Lin family on the other side was also watching to clean up Shen Hanyun's yard.
This courtyard is not unfamiliar, it is the Qingfeng Courtyard that Qiao Nian didn't want because of his practice before!
The Lin family also has some skills, and they have blocked everyone's mouths before Shen Hanyun came over, not to mention the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, even Qiao Chuxi and those in the Third Courtyard who don't think about the excitement also don't mention anything about the previous matter.
"This courtyard is the largest in our Hou Mansion now, and I originally wanted to use it for your cousin to marry, but when you come, my aunt will give it to you!"
Lin pulled Shen Hanyun around with a smile on his face, it was originally a courtyard that no one wanted to live in, but now it seems that Shen Hanyun has taken a big advantage.
Shen Hanyun heard Lin say this, and her face was a little embarrassed: "Since it is for my cousin to marry a relative, Hanyun should choose another place!"
was originally sent under the fence, Shen Hanyun naturally understands the truth of introverted, listening to what Lin said so well, even if you like it, you can't ask for it!
"Silly child, my aunt treats you as her own, and naturally wants to give you the best, so you can live with peace of mind, and this will be your home in the future!"
Lin looked at Shen Hanyun's eyes, which was called a gentle and loving one, even closer than when he looked at Qiao Chuying!
The maid next to her was chilled when she heard this, but she didn't dare to speak, so she only reached out and rubbed her arm back and forth in private.
Not to mention the maid, even Qiao Chuying pouted when she followed behind, firstly, seeing that the Lin family was so awkward to Shen Hanyun, and secondly, from the Lin family's rhetoric to Shen Hanyun, it seemed that she also saw her own shadow, after all, it is still unknown when the three million taels of silver will come back, in case the Lin family really doesn't give it, she, the daughter, will not be able to make any money.
Shen Hanyun followed the Lin family all the way, the more she looked at the big yard, the more bottomless her heart became, after all, living in it was to live in, but the old lady also said that she had to bear these expenses herself!
"Auntie, will it cost too much to have such a large yard? After all, I don't have any source of money except the money left by my father. While Shen Hanyun was speaking, the silk handkerchief in his hand was screwed together.
Lin Shi paused, turned his face to look at Shen Hanyun's face, saw her frowning, and hurriedly coaxed: "You don't have to worry about this, your aunt will buy the things in your yard for you, and your aunt Qian will keep them for you for the time being, and when you get married, she will give them to you as they are." ”
"Thank you, Auntie. Shen Hanyun bowed her head in response, covering the blush on her face very well.
"Mother, don't forget the money my grandfather left me, if this money is gone, my daughter will not even have the face to worship!" Qiao Chuying saw that the Lin family mentioned the matter of money, and hurriedly interjected, for fear that the Lin family would gag her mouth with words, and the old marquis would move out.
Lin's face stiffened, the corners of his lips twitched unnaturally, and he turned his face to look at Qiao Chuying's nervous face, a little more embarrassed: "I can't forget, I can't forget it!
Qiao Chuying and Shen Hanyun looked at the Lin family and didn't speak, but their hearts were not as calm as they appeared on the surface, especially Shen Hanyun, she knew that entering the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion would end like this, but she still came in without hesitation, just to get closer to that person.
The Lin clan blocked the hole on Qiao Nianxi's side, and everyone also benefited, even if this matter was in the past, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion temporarily returned to the previous faction of harmony, of course, it was only superficial.
On this day, Qiao Hongyuan had just left the gate of the palace early and wanted to get into the carriage, but he heard a shout behind him.
"Brother Qiao, stay here!"
Qiao Hongyuan's footsteps froze, turned his head, and watched from a distance an official who was also wearing the same court uniform running by, squinting his eyes, waiting to see the person clearly, and greeted him.
The person who came was the Marquis of Xiangyang, who had recently returned to the imperial capital from Chenzhou!
Xiangyang Hou Mansion and Zhenguo Hou Mansion are world friends, the two old marquis are sworn brothers, Qiao Hongyuan and Xiangyang Hou also grew up together, fifteen years ago Xiangyang Hou Mansion moved south to Chenzhou, so there was less contact.
Fifteen years later, the Marquis of Xiangyang was transferred back to the imperial capital, and he didn't have time to talk to the Marquis of Zhenguo in the court just now, so he followed all the way after he dispersed the court.
"When did Brother Bai arrive?"
Xiangyang Hou was at the pass just now, Qiao Hongyuan didn't see him, and now he was full of surprise when he saw people.
"I just arrived today, and I followed Ning Wang's convoy back on the way, so it was a day earlier than expected!" Xiangyang Hou was very excited to see his old friend after being away for so many years.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Qiao Hongyuan stretched out his hand to support Xiangyang Hou's shoulder, and his eyes were a little more excited, although he hadn't seen each other for so many years, his feelings were still there.
Xiangyang Hou was excited, his voice was a little choked, and he exchanged a few words with Qiao Hongyuan, as if he thought of something, and put away the expression on his face: "My mother has been talking about the old lady on the road, I don't know if the old lady is okay recently?"
The two families of Xiangyang Hou and Zhenguo Hou are world friends, and the two old women used to be like sisters, and they haven't seen each other for so many years, so they are naturally worried.
"Okay, everything is fine! A few days ago, her old man was still talking about setting up a banquet for you!" Qiao Hongyuan said, the smile on his face was also a little thicker, and he didn't let go of the hand holding Xiangyang Hou.
In recent years, he has been restrained everywhere, and the courtiers and officials seem to have a little exclusion from him, with the relationship between the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, Xiangyang Marquis is back, it is like an extra powerful helper, Qiao Hongyuan is very welcome.
Qiao Hongyuan is such a person, saying that he is selfish and ruthless seems to have wronged him, but he finally has such a little true feelings, or puts interests first, and in the end he doesn't know how sincere he is.
"That's really a thank you!" Xiangyang Hou saw that Qiao Hongyuan was still thinking about his feelings, and his heart was also a little more steady: "At the end of next month, it is my mother's birthday, if it is convenient for the old lady, please come in person!"
After not coming back for so many years, Xiangyang Hou didn't know how the old lady's physical condition was, whether it was still convenient to move, so in order to avoid abruptness, he asked first.
"The old lady has been talking about this recently, and we will definitely prepare a big gift to congratulate the old lady Bai on her birthday!" Qiao Hongyuan smiled all over his face, he was already wrinkled, but now he was even more crowded like a bun fold.
"Then thank you again! My mother will be very happy to know it!"
Xiangyang Hou was also full of smiles, looking at the folds on Qiao Hongyuan's face, his voice sank slightly: "Speaking of which, when we come back this time, we are not going to leave again, after so many years, we are old and the children have grown up, and when our mansion is settled, we can consider the marriage of the two children." ”
Qiao Hongyuan was stupid by Xiangyang Hou's words, looked at Xiangyang Hou in a daze, and asked with a puzzled face: "Which two children are Brother Bai talking about?"
