Chapter Thirty-Eight: Expensive in front of people, difficult in the future
"Miss!" Shui Se hurriedly walked in from outside, "Just now, Xiaoshu, the maid from the third lady's yard, came over to spread the word, saying that the third lady will come over for lunch in a while." ”
Jiao Youhan was stunned, and then frowned: "What is she doing here?" Showing off your might? ”
"Miss, Shui Se thinks this is a good thing." Shui Se closed the door and walked to Jiao Youhan's side and spoke softly, "Miss has gotten along with Miss San on the surface over the years, and she can be regarded as helping Miss San. At least last time, if Miss hadn't let Jin Er out, the third lady would have frozen to death in the pigsty. The third miss has always been stupid, and she won't know what the second miss you did, in this case, this time the third miss comes, you might as well get together with her and have a good relationship, after all, the young lady will enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet in a few days, in order to avoid the third miss from embarrassing the second miss at the palace banquet, today is a very important opportunity. ”
Shui Se's words made sense, Jiao Youhan nodded: "Yes, I've been playing with her in my hands for so many years, I don't believe that she will be able to turn over in a few days." Mother often said that Aunt Liu, the biological mother of the third sister, was a shrewd person, but in the end, she was defeated by her mother...... Shui Se, you go and tell the kitchen, starting today, I will serve some porridge and side dishes here, I want the third sister to sympathize with my poor second sister, let her relax her vigilance against me, on the day of the palace banquet, I want her to have a life to go in, but not to come out! ”
Got rid of Xiao Shu, Jiao Yuzhen walked alone on the way to Jiao Youhan's yard, it was only half a day that she didn't even dare to drink tea, that Xiao Shu was really dangerous, he actually poisoned her or tripped her up and then the ground was full of inexplicable sharp things, it seemed that he wanted to let her fall to death and poison her immediately, this is not called assassination, but Ming killing!
Because it is certain that Xiao Shu was definitely not sent by the Wang family, after all, if the Wang family is not crazy, he doesn't even want his own biological children to be so broken, otherwise he won't let Xiao Shu come to her side, and because he doesn't know who Xiao Shu is, Jiao Yuzhen doesn't want to drive Xiao Shu away on the first day, but this Xiao Shu is a strong Ming kill her, Jiao Yuzhen feels that this half day is as long as a century!
"Third sister."
Jiao Yuzhen's steps forward hesitated slightly, the only person who would call her "third sister" in Mrs. Jiao's mansion was Jiao Hongfu alone, but this Jiao Hongfu seemed to have always been raised by Jiao Lihe's mother, Jiao's old lady Pan's side, and rarely appeared in front of everyone, perhaps because of this, his temperament was completely different from that of Wang and Jiao Youhan. Thinking of this, Jiao Yuzhen couldn't help but sigh, this old lady Jiao is really far-sighted.
"Say hello to the third sister." Jiao Hongfu walked in front of Jiao Yuzhen and made a bow very respectfully.
Seeing the child in front of her salute herself, Jiao Yuzhen felt uncomfortable, especially this Jiao Hongfu's childish little face with baby fat, but it was also matched with a pair of deep eyes, which were still full of the feeling of the city, the city, and made her feel that a chill was always in her heart.
"No need to be polite, Hongfu has something to do with me?" Jiao Yu calmed down and smiled.
"Where is the third sister going to the second sister now? If you want to go, it's better for my brother not to go. Jiao Hongfu's voice was very calm, but that calm sounded strange.
Jiao Yuzhen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?" I'm about to have lunch with my second sister. ”
"Third sister, my mother left the house early this morning, the second sister should be sad time, the third sister went at this time, I am afraid that the second sister will not entertain the third sister well, if the third sister wants to have lunch with others, the younger brother is willing to have lunch with the third sister. However, the younger brother usually lives with his grandmother, so can he let the younger brother go to the third sister's yard for lunch? ”
Jiao Yuzhen felt that she shouldn't listen to Jiao Hongfu's words and come back to the yard with him for lunch, she was about to suffer from anorexia after eating this lunch, because Jiao Hongfu, a dead child, used this kind of indifferent look, calmly tried every bite of the meal with a silver needle before eating, so there was almost no grain of rice to try, and he also said while trying that this was taught by Mrs. Jiao's old lady Pan, saying that no matter where he was, he couldn't help but be careful, Jiao Yuzhen thought that if Jiao Hongfu was poisoned to death, it was estimated that she would definitely be regarded as a murderer.
Watching Jiao Hongfu drink the last mouthful of soup, after putting down the bowl and the silver needle in his hand, Jiao Yuzhen also put down the chopsticks in his hand, and this meal was finally over: "Hongfu, although I think it's very troublesome for you to eat like this, but it's also very safe." But you have been by your grandmother's side since you were a child, and your mother is also the main room, and there are no aunts below, why do you need to be so careful? ”
After taking a deep look at Jiao Yuzhen, Jiao Hongfu looked at Xiao Shu who was waiting on the side: "You go down, you don't need to come in without the master's order." ”
Xiao Shu looked at Jiao Yuzhen with some embarrassment, but when he saw Jiao Yuzhen nodding, he had no choice but to retreat.
"Okay, there's no one else, just talk to me, aren't you...... See what's coming? ”
Ignoring Jiao Yuzhen's question, Jiao Hongfu said softly: "From what I can remember to now, I have been assassinated more than a hundred times, if I hadn't been raised by my grandmother's side, I probably wouldn't have survived now." ”
"How can you?" Jiao Yuzhen looked at Jiao Hongfu in surprise, "You are the biological son of the eldest mother, she won't harm you, so is it the eldest sister?" The eldest sister doesn't seem to be to that extent to you. You see each other twice a year, and there's nothing to conflict with! Your second sister and I won't do anything to you. ”
A sneer appeared on Jiao Hongfu's childish face, and that smile had a faint mockery: "The third sister has never experienced the life of Miss Jiaofu, let alone the life of my sister-in-law. In fact, the person who wants me to die, as you said, is never in the house, but from outside the house. ”
Jiao Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, and then put on a deaf look.
Jiao Hongfu seemed to be very satisfied with Jiao Yuzhen's demeanor, so he nodded and continued to speak: "Daddy is Taifu, and he is the teacher of the saint today, but the saint is obviously an ungrateful person, and he has long distrusted his father, and many important official positions in our Qingguo will have hereditary situations...... Of course, if the Holy One had ordered it himself, I would have died a long time ago. The saint only needs to reveal the slightest rejection of my father, and there will be a lot of hemp bugs rushing to send someone to assassinate me, which is why I grew up with my grandmother since I was a child. And now the situation in the house is even more serious, the third sister, you are the future concubine of the saint who gave marriage to Prince Jing, no matter how down-and-out Prince Jing is, it must be an opportunity for the saint to give the Jiao family, if the father will not let the saint suspect again, the marriage of the third sister can give our Jiao family the name of a royal relative, but if the saint is really suspicious of his father, not only our Jiao family, but also the third sister, you and Prince Jing will definitely die...... Although no one has ever dared to say that Prince Jing's injury was related to the saint, and my father has always been loyal to the saint, I know very well that Prince Jing was killed by the saint. This time the marriage is given, one is a discredited princess, and the other is a disabled and declining prince, what does the third sister think? ”
Listening to Jiao Hongfu's analysis, Jiao Yuzhen had a suspicion that the little boy in front of him was also reborn, and he was still a conspirator in his previous life!
"Third sister." Seeing Jiao Yuzhen staring at him but not speaking, Jiao Hongfu couldn't help but continue to speak, "You have moved a new yard, naturally there are a lot of newcomers, and the housekeeper Uncle Qian still arranges all the newly bought people outside, even if it is me...... I think it's weird. Although the mother took most of the maids, grandmothers, and family members with her when she left the house this morning, it was not so that even a few people could not come in line. The third sister's yard is full of newcomers, there must be some ulterior motives mixed in, the third sister should be careful. There are many people who don't want to see our Jiao family rely on the marriage of the third sister and Prince Jing to get new opportunities. ”
"What my brother said is, so who do you think has a problem with my brother just now?" When Jiao Yuzhen said this, he smiled lightly, "You also know that the third sister only had Jin'er as a maid before, and Jin'er also grew up with me, so I don't know how to choose people." ”
"But my brother thinks that the third sister has chosen very well, and I think the little maid named Xiao Shu just now is very problematic...... Jiao Hongfu said unhurriedly, "There are two kinds of killers, one is good at hiding their killing intent and acting in a low-key manner, and the other is constantly highlighting themselves and lowering the target's vigilance, so as to stay by the target's side, and then constantly look for opportunities to start." The second type of killer is generally meticulous, and it is often heard in the script that he is mixed into the palace or the army or something, but I think Xiao Shu is exactly like this. Because such killers are rare, they can make the target more unguardable. The third sister fell in love with her at a glance, not only made her a personal maid, but also made her think that the third sister liked her, so that she had more ideas, and then the third sister could not only take precautions clearly, but also detect how she was going to be unfavorable to you at the first time. This is also a high trick. I was still worried about the third sister, but now that this lunch is over, I am relieved. ”
"My younger brother is so smart, and he will inherit the Jiao family in the future, and I, the third sister, are also relieved. I was taken care of by my younger brother many times before, and I haven't had a chance to thank the third sister, since my brother has said it so directly, the third sister I also said it straightforwardly. Jiao Yuzhen paused and continued to speak, "First of all, that Xiao Shu did have a problem, I was also confused by her at first, but when I found out that the tonic she gave me was poisonous, and she directly put the blame on the head of the housekeeper Uncle Cai, I knew that she had a problem, but I didn't know who ordered her to kill me, so I endured it." However, I didn't care about my marriage to Prince Jing before, but my brother was right, since I am the daughter of the Jiao family, I should take on the responsibility of protecting the family. I will marry well to Prince Jing's mansion, but I can't guarantee it...... I will always stay in Prince Jing's Mansion. ”
After taking a deep look at Jiao Yuzhen, Jiao Hongfu retracted his gaze: "If I wasn't sure that you were my third sister, I would have thought you were a fake, your temperament, these shocking words, how can you not look like a cowardly third sister all the time." You said that after marrying into Prince Jing's mansion, you have to leave...... If she is given a leave of absence by Prince Jing, the third sister will have the green lantern ancient Buddha for the rest of her life, does the third sister still want to become a monk? ”
