Chapter 13: Let Her Explain
Jing Wen saw the two of them with joy on their faces, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.
But then it calmed down.
instructed Qingzhu to say, "You go and make some more tea." ”
Qingzhu glanced at the two people who walked quickly to the pavilion, and knew that Mrs. Jing had something to do and didn't want her to hear it.
Nodding yes, he walked out of the pavilion.
Seeing that Qingzhu was far away, there was no one within a dozen steps outside the pavilion, so Jiaxue and Jiayu stepped forward.
Jing Wen hurriedly asked, "Can you inquire?" ”
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Mrs. Huijing, Miss Qi gave the slave maid a note, saying that she asked the slave maid to give it to Mrs. You."
As he spoke, he took out a folded boxy note from his sleeve.
Jing Wen stretched out her hand to take it, and couldn't wait to open it to check.
When she saw the familiar handwriting on the note, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
Since she was a child, she has been studying with her eldest sister, and she is familiar with her eldest sister's words.
Just a few words above.
Tonight, come to the Manor Restaurant.
After reading it, she put the note in her sleeve pocket.
He raised his head and asked, "Which of you is responsible for this?" ”
As soon as Jing Wen's words came out, Jiayu blushed a little embarrassedly, pointed to Jiaxue next to her, and said, "It's all the credit of Sister Jiaxue, and the slave didn't help with anything." ”
Jing Wen followed her fingers to look at Jia Xue, who was standing aside with a smile on her face, neither humble nor arrogant, and she looked like a calm character.
She nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job in this matter today, are those few taels of silver enough?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw two people hurriedly touching their waists, taking out the silver from their arms and putting it in the palm of their hands to show her.
Jia Xue opened her mouth and said: "Mrs. Huijing, it only took two taels, there are still one or two left in the slave maid's hand, and the three taels in Jia Xue's hand have not moved." ”
Jing Wen nodded: "I don't want you to come back, I'm just afraid that you will pay your own monthly salary, since there are still four taels left, then you can divide it equally." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two maids showed joy.
When Jing Wen gave them the money at noon, they only thought that it might run out, and they didn't care too much about Jing Wen's words that the rest was theirs, and now Jing Wen generously rewarded them with all the remaining four taels of silver.
This is simply their monthly salary for two or three.
Now the first-class maid is only one tael of silver, and the second-class maid is 800 copper coins, and one person has two taels of silver more at this time, and the two of them knelt down excitedly and saluted: "Mrs. Xie Jing rewards." ”
As soon as the words fell, a cold snort came from outside the pavilion.
caused the three of them to look up, and they saw a young man dressed in white and jade brocade and wearing a melon skin hat standing not far away.
No, it should be a girl.
Princess Xuanyu? Jing Wen saw that she was glaring at the three people in the pavilion dissatisfied, and secretly said that it was not good in her heart.
How did this arrogant princess come to her courtyard?
These janitorial minions really don't take her seriously, and they just let everyone in.
The sick prince is gone, and now the princess has also been let in, and as he was talking, another person walked in the courtyard.
It turned out to be Qianran, I saw him standing at the door far away, looking at Jingwen apologetically.
said that he couldn't stop this little ancestor.
Jing Wen could only smile and shake her head, indicating that it was okay.
Because Qianran was a man, he stood at the gate of the courtyard quite evasively, looking at Princess Xuanyu from afar.
Originally, he shouldn't have come in, but this Princess Xuanyu is too skinny, for fear that there will be no one if he doesn't watch it, and the two princes will find him to ask for someone, and it will be difficult to explain.
Jingwen stood up, walked out of the pavilion with a smile, and saluted her.
"The concubine has seen Princess Xuanyu."
"You just hit the princess's today?"
She asked.
Jing Wen, who got up in salute, raised her head and looked at her, feeling a little depressed, obviously she bumped into her, and she hid outside the stone road, she was really a messy guy.
"Hey, Princess Ben asks you."
She yelled very dissatisfied, and Qian Ran, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, frowned.
I don't know what to do.
On one side is Princess Xuanyu, who is doted on by the emperor, and on the other side is the concubine of her master.
Is it to let the princess continue to bully Mrs. Jing? Or did you offend the princess to keep Mrs. Jing?
Just as he was thinking, the voice in the courtyard continued: "Are you mute?" Princess Ben is talking to you, deaf? ”
This sound interrupted his train of thought, turned around and called a little man who came to the door, gave him a few words, and sent him away.
Looking at the little guy's extremely fast running towards Jinghe Courtyard, Qianran could only sigh in his heart: I just want the prince to come sooner.
Jing Wen frowned, looking at the princess who was about to kick her.
A flash of anger flashed in her eyes, and the girl was simply unreasonable.
Fortunately, Yujiaxue and Jiayu blocked her.
Otherwise, I would definitely be better than her at this time.
"Princess, don't be in a hurry, the concubine has offended you somewhere?"
She asked, pretending to be calm.
"Hmph, you just offended this princess, not only did you hit this princess, but you also despised the imperial power just now and ignored this princess to speak."
Jing Wen's eyes showed a cold light, this princess was so bold that she could even say so easily to despise the imperial power.
Don't you know that this sentence can be copied directly from the whole door?
But think about it, now she is Yin Mingchen's concubine, even if she is guilty, she will be divided into five horses, and Yin Mingchen will definitely not be involved.
Concerning her own life, how dare Jing Wen be careless, her voice became sharp: "Princess Xuanyu, don't talk nonsense, the concubine was walking on the road, it was you who knocked me to the ground, how could you turn black and white upside down by you in a blink of an eye, and then you despise the imperial power, this is a crime full of beheading, the concubine is your second brother, the concubine of Prince Chen, you are not afraid of letting outsiders listen to the joke, and the concubine does not dare to ignore Princess Xuanyu's words, and the concubine body you say is listening." Since you are a princess, the concubine naturally does not dare to refute, but if you want to add to the crime, the concubine does not admit it. ”
It seems that she didn't expect such a weak woman as Jing Wen to be so sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and Xuanyu was stunned for a moment.
Then she shook off the two frightened and trembling, but still tried her best to stop her maid.
"Y'all get out of here."
As he spoke, he stretched out his foot and kicked Jiaxue and Jiayu to the ground.
As soon as Yin Mingchen entered the door, he heard the words that were neither humble nor arrogant, and even with a hint of anger, and said in his heart: This woman is not as weak as he imagined, and this character is also stubborn.
When I walked in, I saw her standing outside the pavilion, the sun was so hot at noon that people couldn't open their eyes, Yin Mingchen squinted at the woman in white veil.
She is the first woman who can stand in front of Xuanyu like this.
At this time, Jing Wen was not as calm as she looked on the outside, holding an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, the sweat had already wet the embroidered handkerchief, and the other hand was hidden in her sleeve, clenched tightly into a fist, and her heart was like numbness.
In the past, when she was the third lady of the Qi family, her status was not low, and participating in the palace banquet was also the object of everyone's praise, at that time, she didn't dare to offend this Princess Xuanyu, as soon as she heard where she appeared, she avoided it early.
Although I heard a lot about her arrogant deeds in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I only thought that I could stay away from her in the future.
Later, when she saw her bullying palace maids and eunuchs during the palace banquet, and even the daughter of a certain minister, she was so frightened that she avoided it.
I didn't expect to live again now, but in just ten days, I met this Hades-like figure.
To say that you are not afraid is false.
Just thinking that he was going to plant it in her hands this time, Yu Guang saw the three people standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Yin Mingchen and Yin Siyuan stood by the door, with a good look of watching a show.
Yin Siyuan was even more smiling, and Jing Wen was disgusted when she saw it.
At this moment, Xuanyu, who kicked people to the ground, was already walking towards her, and Jingwen's body began to tremble, not knowing what the princess was going to do next.
pinned his hopes on Yin Mingchen in his heart.
I hope that he can save himself once for the sake of being his concubine.
Thinking like this, she heard Yin Mingchen's violent cough, which was not deliberately made by him, but an uncontrollable sickly cough.
Hearing this coughing sound, Xuanyu, who was about to walk in front of her, couldn't help but stop.
A smile appeared on his originally angry face: "Second brother, third brother, you are here." ”
Before Yin Siyuan could speak, he first smiled heartily: "Hahaha, Xuanyu, what are you doing here?" ”
Princess Xuanyu glared at Jing Wen angrily, and snorted coldly: "Teach a slave a lesson." ”
"Oh? Minion? Standing in front of you, this is your second brother's concubine. ”
"Hmph, it's just a concubine, what's the difference between it and a slave."
As he spoke, Yin Mingchen and Yin Siyuan had already stepped forward.
However, when Yin Mingchen passed by Jingwen, his footsteps did not stop, and he walked directly towards the pavilion.
sat on the stone bench panting, looking at the ledger on the table, waiting for Jingwen and the maids to salute.
Instead, he asked, "Xuanyu, what are you doing here in Zhaoyu Courtyard?" ”
His low tone, coupled with the reason for his cough, was a hint of hoarseness, which inexplicably gave people a kind of pressure.
Xuanyu, who was still arrogant and domineering and didn't take anyone in his eyes, immediately became honest.
showed a pitiful expression: "Second brother, I came to your house today, and I was knocked down by her halfway through." ”
As he spoke, he was still covering his buttocks, and added: "I sat directly on the stone road, and my butt still hurts." ”
Jing Wen was a little angry that she was sued by the wicked person first, and she lowered her head and sneered.
But I don't want to, the small actions I do in private are seen by others.
Yin Mingchen's scrutinizing gaze came from overhead.
After looking at it for a while, he looked away again.
In the pavilion, Yin Mingchen and Yin Siyuan sat on the stone bench, Xuan Yu pitifully pulled and stood in front of Yin Mingchen to complain, Jing Wen stood a little behind, bowed her head and did not speak.
Qianran and Jiaxue Jiayu stood outside.
After Xuan Yu finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the pavilion.
This surprised Yin Siyuan.
He naturally knows Xuanyu's character, and the black should be said to be white, whether it is her fault or not, it must be said to be someone else's fault anyway.
But if it was someone else, she couldn't wait to explain, but this woman stood aside without saying a word.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doesn't Mrs. Jing have anything to explain?" ”
Jing Wen raised her head, her face was calm, her eyes did not look at Yin Siyuan, but looked at Yin Mingchen, and asked, "Is there a chance for the concubine to explain?" ”
She was asking Yin Mingchen when she said this.
He is the master of this house, Xuanyu is a princess, and she is just a concubine.
This matter, if he didn't want to offend Princess Xuanyu, then she didn't need to explain.
Because no matter what she says, she will say that it is her fault in the end.
But if Yin Mingchen gave her the opportunity to explain, then he would be the one who was embarrassed about today's matter.
