Chapter 27: The Qiao Family's Intent
"It's the fault of the slaves and maids, the young lady led the wrong yard, and please punish the young lady!"
After Bai Ke and Bai Li finished speaking, he kowtowed on the ground, the previous arrogance and disdain, where is there a little more?
Qiao Nianxi looked at the two of them condescendingly, and an innate arrogance made people dare not look directly: "What should be said, I must have told you that Mother Chun has already told you, I am not the tricky master who beats and scolds people, not to mention, you have pulled the grass in the broken yard for a long time, it can be regarded as a punishment, and you will be careful in the future, get up!"
Lu Shi was stunned, she actually let Bai Ke pull weeds from white pears?
Looking down the cuffs of the two of them, I saw that their slender white fingers were covered with mud, and the dancΓ΄me on their nails was torn, and it seemed that they were stained with the green juice of the leaves.
Qiao Nianxi's temperament has changed too much!
"Miss Xie!"
Bai Ke and Bai Li hurriedly got up from the ground, and stood on the side with low eyebrows, Qiao Nian didn't speak, and the two of them didn't dare to move.
The Lu family stood on the side, looking at the two second-class girls who were usually arrogant and domineering beside the Lin family, as if they had seen a cat and mouse here in Qiao Nianxi, and they were surprised, but looking at Qiao Nianxi's fierce face, it seemed that things were taken for granted!
In such a scene, the Lu family finally relaxed a little, didn't stay long, explained a few words, and led Qiao Xinyu back.
Seeing off Lu and Qiao Xinyu, Qiao Nianxi first took the three of them around the courtyard, and deliberately designated a farther side courtyard for Bai Ke and Baili, while Mother Chun was a little closer to herself.
When she came out of the broken yard just now, Qiao Nianxi, who had sensitive ears, heard Bai Ke and Bai Li's words, since these two girls were not convinced, it just happened to make the misunderstanding deeper, and the three of them would fight, so that their lives would not be boring.
Bai Ke and Bai Li were suppressed for an afternoon, and they also learned to be smart, and as soon as they changed their previous arrogance, they all changed their smiling faces, and they almost knelt on the ground to lick the upper of Qiao Nianxi's shoes.
Qiao Nianxi was relieved to accept the favor of the two, and took the freshly brewed tea from Chun's mother's hand, took a shallow sip, and thought of something.
"I don't have the habit of keeping vigils, and you don't use them, just sleep in your room at night. β
The three of them were stunned, a little bit unsure of what Qiao Nianxi meant, but she didn't seem to be unhappy, and nodded in response.
The Lin family asked them to stare at Qiao Nianxi, but when they came, they realized that this master was not a good servant, and the three of them were afraid, and they were relieved not to keep vigil.
Here, Qiao Nianxi was just thinking about changing her yard, but she didn't know that there were also people in the Ling Wang's Mansion on the South Street of the Imperial Capital who were thinking about her.
The window of the study opened slightly, and the breeze blew in, slightly lifting the corner of the rice paper on the table.
Ye Xuanling didn't know when he had returned, still in that phantom purple robe, the robe was not as solemn and cold as before, but it brought out his nobility even more.
The slender and white hand holds the brush and draws on the tip of the unfolded heart, and the handsome face adds an indescribable charm because of seriousness.
"News from the fireworks!"
Starmark came in and knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Xuanling.
Ye Xuanling paused, then guessed something, put down the pen in his hand, and said "um" to the star mark.
Xingji took out a bamboo tube from his arms, reached out and opened the end of the bamboo tube, and in an instant, countless small insects flew out of it.
When the insects flew out, they were irregular, and when they all came out, they were quickly arranged, and in mid-air, they appeared in front of Ye Xuanling as if they were written one by one, stayed for a while, changed directions again, and changed another page, just like turning a book page, which was very peculiar.
In this illusionary letter, it is all Qiao Nianxi's experience over the years, concise and short, not detailed, but it has not missed any important information, and most importantly, the handwriting disappeared as the fireworks left, leaving no trace.
"This town is really not a thing!"
Xingji had a little annoyance on his face, although he had quarreled with Qiao Nianxi before, but Qiao Nianxi saved Ye Xuanling, and he was still grateful to her invisibly, especially after knowing her identity, he inexplicably felt that he had pulled a little distance.
After reading the letter, Ye Xuanling also twisted his brows, and a chill came out between his deep eyes, which eased for a moment.
"The Marquis of Zhenguo owes her, sooner or later they must be allowed to pay it back! However, since she doesn't want to leave there for the time being, let her play by herself! You send someone to keep an eye on her, and as long as she doesn't suffer, let her be happy." β
Ye Xuanling had already seen the scene of Qiao Nianxi in the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, that girl was very clever, and she was not worried now.
"Yes!"
Xingji responded, not speaking, but when he turned around to go out, he was stopped by Ye Xuanling again: "Send a dark guard to guard outside her yard, if someone wants to do something, don't be in a hurry, just beat it up first and throw it into the rabbit's yard." β
"Yes!"
Xingji clenched his fists with both hands to receive his life, and couldn't help but feel a little more excited in his heart, the master was afraid that Qiao Nianxi was bored in the Zhenguo Mansion!
Xingji received the order to leave, Ye Xuanling stopped in his hand, raised his head and stared, his mind flashed the scene of his first encounter with Qiao Nianxi, such an unruly girl broke into his eyes like this.
There are always a lot of surprises in life, and the encounter with this girl is an accident, or it was destined many years ago.
Zhenguo Hou Mansion, Seifu-in.
After the day's events, I didn't dare to deliberately embarrass when the dining room brought food at night, Qiao Nian didn't care about these, and simply used some of them, and after the three of them were disbursed, he hid in the room and took out the cloak that hid the silver needle.
In addition to the two silver needles that were pulled out in front of Uncle Li, there were also a few hidden on the other side of the cloak brocade, Qiao Nianxi pulled them off one by one, put the silver needles in a drawer, and reached out to wipe the amber pendant.
In the blink of an eye, the travel bag appeared in front of him, Qiao Nianxi carefully took out a set of Buddhist treasures given by Master Wunian and put them in the drawer, and then took out a small mirror, and saw that two red marks had appeared on the back of the neck reflected by the small mirror in the reflection of the bronze mirror.
It seems that the Lin family has also investigated the original owner, and she dared to prick the cloak, so she was sure that the original owner would not dare to say it, but she didn't calculate that this body had changed people!
Qiao Nianxi frowned, a fierce color appeared between her eyes, she thought about it silently, and the corners of her lips hooked up with a sneer.
Midnight.
The lights in the yard were all down, and it was dark everywhere, only to hear a creak of the door opening, Qiao Nianxi walked out quietly with a small flashlight in his hand.
It was late at night, and even the cicadas stopped chirping, Qiao Nianxi took the flashlight and quietly touched the corner of the wall, and when she came over during the day, she saw green amaranth in the corner.
There is nothing special about amaranth being a common plant, but adding a little erythromycin ointment to the juice of amaranth, applying it to a person, and gently scratching it with a hairpin, a red mark will quickly appear, exactly the same as the mark on the skin that is cut by a silver needle, even if the doctor can't find anything abnormal.
Qiao Nianxi took the flashlight and looked for it along the root of the wall, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, which made the nerves in her whole body tense, and she subconsciously turned around and shook the flashlight around.
The wind blew, except for the branches in the yard swaying, there was nothing else, Qiao Nianxi wrinkled his brows and whispered a curse, and lowered his head to continue looking, but he didn't know that a person fell out of thin air in the small courtyard where the rabbit was.
Under the moonlight, the tall and slender body stood in the wind, the phantom purple robe was lifted by the wind, and the deep eyes were like eagles in the sky.
That's right, the person who came was Ye Xuanling who appeared on the branch outside the courtyard during the day!
However, at the moment when he landed, Ye Xuanling seemed to notice that something was wrong, raised his foot and moved, and his brows were twisted.
Here Qiao Nianxi has already touched the place where the green amaranth grass has grown, carefully uprooted, and after a while, he has already held a small handful in his hand, and is about to get up, but when he sees the figure getting closer and closer behind him, he breathes tightly, and subconsciously takes precautions!
The black shadow was getting closer and closer, Qiao Nianxi's cuffs moved slightly, and he held the dagger given by Master Wunian in his hand, and when the two of them were three steps apart, he quickly turned around!
However, things didn't seem to be going in the direction Qiao Nianxi wanted in her heart, and at the moment when she started, someone had already appeared in front of her.
The black and vertical hair, the slanting sword eyebrows, the deep eyes as sharp as a goshawk, the thin and lightly pursed lips, and the angular outlines all magnified the appearance in front of Qiao Nianxi's eyes, making her mind blank, and she had no other thoughts except staring at the face in front of her.
"Have you seen enough?"
Ye Xuanling shook his head instantly, and soon came to his senses again, although Qiao Nianxi's reaction made him inexplicably happy, but it was always a little uncomfortable to be stared at like this.
"Nope!"
Qiao Nian replied without thinking about it, his eyes were still staring at the handsome and impeccable face in front of him, it was not enough!
Ye Xuanling's eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips twitched: "You like to look at me so much?"
This sentence dragged back Qiao Nianxi's distant thoughts, she straightened up, raised her head, and smiled with a bit of a dog's leg: "Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention a beautiful man like you, you can earn a little more if you look at it!"
Poof!
Ye Xuanling was amused by Qiao Nianxi's words, and reached out to poke at her head, a natural movement, and neither of them felt anything wrong.
I have to say that Ye Xuanling enjoys this girl's praise for him very much, obviously with a flattering dog's leg, but so sincere.
Qiao Nianxi's gaze wandered over Ye Xuanling, touching his originally injured arm, and asked, "How is your arm?"
When he left, Qiao Nianxi gave him a few anti-inflammatory pills and antibiotics just in case.
Ye Xuanling didn't understand what infection was, but it could be seen that this girl was nervous, and she was in a good mood: "The injury on my arm is no longer in trouble, I didn't expect your medical skills to be so good." β
Qiao Nianxi grinned, waved his hand, and smiled weakly: "No, it's nothing, but it's just a coincidence." β
She just knows some emergency medical care, plus modern high-performance medicine, where is the medical skills?
The more he looked at her like this, the more Ye Xuanling wanted to know more about her, and was about to speak, but saw a subtle change in the expression on Qiao Nianxi's face.
