Chapter 395
But Xu Chu is different, although she is in the limelight, she is just a petty official in the final analysis.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't stop accidentally spreading the news of her autopsy, so how could she care about the reputation of gossip among women? What's more, although she doesn't have her mother's family to help, she is friendly with the lord of Ming and has won the favor of King Jing'an, and this is indeed more reliable than the family background of others.
Unlike what other ladies think, the more Tang Jiaoer thought about it, the more she felt that Xu Chugou looked down on people and deliberately poked her sore spots, which was really vicious.
At this time, she didn't want to think about who was the first to provoke this. If she hadn't used marriage as a raft everywhere, how could Xu Chu take the initiative to provoke her?
At this time, most of those who have some eyesight have already moved away from her. Fortunately, Xiao Mingzhu looked at the excitement and waved everyone to find a seat to sit down, so as not to affect her to look at Tang Jiaoer's ugliness.
It's really not that she gloated, but that she was with Tang Jiaoer before, and most of them would be squeezed by her openly and secretly into a rude, willful, unreasonable, and naturally domineering appearance. Even if it is her own father, sometimes she will be deceived by her and scold herself.
Anyway, when she grows so big, whenever she sees Tang Jiao'er in trouble, she is happy in her heart.
After everyone sat down, naturally no one paid attention to Tang Jiaoer anymore. And because Yuan Pujia looked at the scene too ugly, she was worried that it would disturb everyone's interest, so she took the initiative to look at Xu Chu and asked, "I heard my father say that Miss Xu is a rare talent, and I have heard too much of your words, so I admire it very much." Those strange and complicated cases came back, but it shocked many people."
She smiled delicately, with joy in her eyes, as if she was really happy to see Xu Chu in person.
Xu Chu glanced over, still with his usual calm expression on his face, and said quietly, "With the support of the prince and Lord Yuan, and the emperor's attention, I can't be lazy in my feelings." Moreover, regardless of whether he is a servant or a Dali Temple, it is within his duty to find more evidence to solve the case."
Yuan Pujia nodded and agreed, "My father often said this, you can't live up to the grace of God. But I still admire you, if it were me, let alone an autopsy, I was afraid that when I saw those corpses that were so rotten that I couldn't see the appearance, I would have to be scared and my legs would go weak. Not to mention that Miss Xu also went to inspect it in person, it was really a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go. ”
Xu Chu sneered in his heart and stopped talking.
However, because of Yuan Pujia's words, many of the ladies present who were still showing inquiring and kind eyes to Xu Chu subconsciously shrank a little, and their faces were slightly difficult to look at. If it was Xu Chu's gaze, he would dodge it.
They almost forgot that this person not only had the blue eyes of King Jing'an, nor did he have a personal relationship with the lord of Mingzhu. She's been in the pile of corpses, and she's dissected the corpse, and I've heard that it's the kind that cuts open all the internal organs of the corpse
When Tang Jiao'er, who was angry and angry, heard this, she immediately snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what face you have to stay here and be touted, after all, you are a despicable person who plays with corpses, who knows if you have something unclean on your body!" ”
After she saw that after she finished speaking, Xu Chu was still sipping the tea lightly, and couldn't help but become more and more embarrassed and said, "I advise you to see your own position clearly, after all, I have never heard of a lady who does not know piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but only rotting corpses and rotten meat." ”
Xu Chu glanced at her, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "My position?" Are you talking about the location of Dali Temple, or the position of Princess Zhun Jing'an? Also, although I don't like your noise, I still have to retort to you, I don't just play with rotting corpses."
Tang Jiao'er looked over when she heard this, and looked at Xu Chu's swarthy and unwavering eyes, as if they were not the eyes that humans should have. She instinctively shuddered, feeling an eerie chill rush to her back.
"What are you going to do?"
Xu Chu saw that her frightened face turned pale, and Hui Yi sneered, "Don't do anything, just tell you, I will not only dissect corpses, but also dissect living people." Well, I know how to cut your throat to avoid the blood vessels, so that you don't lose too much blood and die, and you don't die of pain. Or, let you look at your internal organs, but you don't feel pain."
When this sentence fell, Tang Jiaoer was completely stupefied, and her teeth couldn't stop trembling in her mouth.
Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, sighed and said, "How can you be so daring." Originally, I pondered, if you want to enter the Jing'an Palace, you have to be bolder, otherwise how dare you face the bloody qi that the prince brought back from the Three Law Divisions? After all, the places where the prince stays most often are death row and the autopsy."
As soon as these words came out, not only did Tang Jiaoer feel endless fear, but the ladies around her also gasped, feeling that their gums were a little trembling.
Xu Chu glanced at Yuan Pujia, who was a little pale, and suddenly grinned, making Yuan Pujia, who was still enthusiastic and generous just now, instantly lower his eyes.
Xu Chu hid the sneer in his eyes, and said in his heart that when he worked with Lord Yuan, he was really upright. How could his daughter be so scheming? If it weren't for the fact that I was good at observing words and feelings, and saw that when she talked about the marriage, her upper lip was slightly raised, and her eyebrows were slightly drooping, I was afraid that I would also be deceived by her overflowing joy and adoration.
It's really the thoughts of the daughter's family, don't guess.
In fact, there is no need to guess, but whenever she heard Tang Jiao'er belittle Xu Chu's identity and origin, and reprimanded her for not being worthy of King Jing'an, although Yuan Pujia's face was embarrassed, her micro-expression was mostly approving and disgusting. Therefore, after a little speculation, it is not difficult for Xu Chu to guess that Yuan Pujia is the rotten peach blossom of Xiao Qinglang hidden in the capital.
And she jumped out eagerly this time, presumably because she admired Xiao Qinglang. Perhaps, she has never lost her temper or expressed her intentions before, because Xiao Qinglang has the same attitude towards all the women in the capital, the same indifference and lack of attention.
But this time, Xiao Qinglang quietly asked for the holy decree, and he was also very attentive to Xu Chu's careful care.
Yuan Pujia must have known Xu Chu's details for a long time, so she felt more and more that Xu Chu was not worthy of the handsome Xiao Qinglang. It's just that she didn't dare to speak easily, but the jealousy in her heart couldn't be suppressed, so even if she was powerless, she had to be disgusted.
Xu Chu thought clearly, and considering today's occasion, he naturally didn't want to worry about her. Left and right, no matter how much she jumped, it was in vain.
On the side, Xiao Mingzhu originally had a good impression of Yuan Pujia, thinking that she would make friends in the future, but before she could talk to Yuan Pujia, she looked at her sister Chu and saw that Yuan Pujia's expression changed slightly.
Although Xiao Mingzhu has been arrogantly raised since she was a child, she is not completely careless, not to mention that in her heart, her own sister Chu is omnipotent. Therefore, what can make Sister Chu change her attitude must be to see what Yuan Pujia has bad intentions.
In this way, she couldn't help but think carefully about everyone's words just now, and sure enough, she noticed the clue.
Just when everyone fell into a strange embarrassment and silence, the maid of the Wind Lotus Garden came to spread the word, saying that the banquet had begun, and Princess Qi invited the young ladies to the garden.
The palace of the king of Qi held a banquet, but all the people in the capital came with some faces. Of course, the women and the men have to be separated from each other.
The ladies were all in the garden, while the men were entertained in the front hall by the father and son of the king of Qi in the palace.
When he arrived in the garden, Xu Chu saw a group of noble ladies sitting down at the table that had been set up. When they heard the movement, they introduced their daughters to each other with a smile.
Xu Chu knows this scene very well, probably because his parents help each other first, and if there is a right person, it will be good to leave an impression in the future.
As soon as a group of people approached, Xiao Mingzhu first snuggled up to the side of the woman in a hairpin dress, and said coincidentally, "Mother, guess that is Sister Chu." ”
Obviously, the woman who was dressed in a hairpin suit and looked very gorgeous and luxurious was Princess Qi.
When Princess Qi heard this, she nodded her forehead with a smile, looked at Xu Chu and said with a smile, "Mingzhu is spoiled, I'm afraid I have caused a lot of jokes with you." ”
As the princess of Qi, how can she not recognize her own quasi-concubine? Regardless of the fact that when Xu Chu was friendly with his daughter, his own prince had already sent someone to check her details, even when she entered Beijing as an official, many people with ears and eyes had already obtained her portrait, lest the people in the family would offend people without a long eye.
Moreover, the Queen Mother and the Emperor Qi have been worried about King Jing'an's marriage for many years, and now Xiao Qinglang, who has heard it at first glance, has proposed marriage in person, how can these family members not get a letter?
Xu Chu saluted and said with a smile: "Xu Chu has seen the princess and the ladies. ”
Because this time it was not for the purpose of investigating the case, she bowed down to the woman as a matter of course.
After the salute, she said to the princess, "The county lord is lively and cheerful, and he is very intelligent, how can he make jokes?" ”
The sincerity she said made the smile on Princess Qi's face more and more genuine. Who doesn't want their daughter to be praised? Even if her daughter is really arrogant, she can only say it at home, not outsiders.
Now, Xu Chu did not praise her daughter perfunctorily, how unhappy she was!
When everyone saw Princess Qi's attitude towards Xu Chu, they muttered more and more in their hearts. Could it be that the princess is really so broad-hearted, even if she is a servant on her side in the future, she doesn't mind at all?
Of course Princess Qi doesn't mind, let alone doesn't mind, it's just hopeful. In the past, when she listened to her prince's nagging to find a family affair for her brother-in-law, her ears were calloused. partial, I helped Zhang Luo a few, and every time I responded to myself, it was the cold and terrifying gaze of the little uncle.
Now, this matter has been solved, and I no longer have to be urged by the prince. And on the uncle's side, there is someone who can control it.
Besides, her own portal is not high, and even her brother Duwei's official position was later promoted by the prince. Therefore, she really didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xu Chu becoming Princess Jing'an and calling herself a sister-in-law.
