Chapter 67: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
As soon as Liu Jun and the two saw the princess's unhappy face, they also began to mutter, this aunt's "milk" and "milk" must not be mad, so that his brothers can smoothly follow the first day's class, when the prince assigns the task in the morning, Liu Jun doesn't care, but Xiao Li resisted a little, fortunately, it is a daily shift, and in the evening, Wen Yuxin comes by himself, and it will be Lian Cheng and Ziqi's turn tomorrow.
"The prince really ordered us to do this for your safety, don't worry, you can do whatever you want, just because our brothers don't exist." Liu Jun hurriedly stated his position, which means that it is not that the two of us are willing to come, this is not what the prince said!
Jiang Xinyi didn't want to embarrass them, so she reluctantly continued to walk forward, she wanted to go to see Ping'er to make sure she was really okay. Liu Jun didn't dare to get too close to her, and always kept a distance from her. I met a few people on the way, and they all greeted her respectfully, the current princess is amazing, living in the prince's bedroom, that is the second child of this Yu Wangfu.
Yesterday, because she killed her two chickens and beat her personal girl, she took a stick to smash the things in Mrs. Hui's house, and beat Mrs. Hui, not only was the prince not angry, but he actually helped her, and gave Mrs. Hui who had been in the house for a few years to that, and even the corpse was sent out of the Yuwang Mansion, which is really pitiful.
The people all understand one thing, that is, don't provoke this princess, otherwise they don't know how she died, they privately guessed that the Dong Lang that Mrs. Hui said before she died was probably the gardener Dong Wu in the house, and some people had found out that there was JQ between them before, but who dared to talk about the affairs of the masters, in this way, it is no wonder that the prince disregards the relationship between husband and wife.
Where would Jiang Xinyi know what they thought, she wanted to see Xiaoping quickly, when she walked outside the courtyard, she heard crying inside, begging for mercy, and walked to the door to see, good guy, it was a bit like a three-hall trial, Concubine Lian sat on a chair, and there were several ladies standing next to her, and there was a girl next to her, Xiaohui was kneeling on the ground at this time, the mother-in-law who looked like Mama Rong was standing behind her with a rattan in her hand, and Xiaoping was still begging next to Concubine Lian.
"Master Lian, you spare Xiaohui, she really didn't steal your materials, it was the odd piece of cloth I bought outside with my monthly money." Xiaoping said with a crying voice.
"Yo, I said Xiaoping, you don't care about this matter, your current identity is terrible, I don't dare to offend your master." Concubine Lian said with a sneer.
"Yes, the next person will see the wind and rudder, sister, you see, even this cheap hoof knows how to knot, she has been with me for a few years, and I haven't seen her sew me a purse sachet, and now she will steal the fabric to make shoes for others." A bewitching woman pointed at Xiaohui and scolded.
Jiang Xinyi knew who she was, since she was Xiaohui's former master, then she was Mrs. Miaoyun, she couldn't bear to go over, she wanted to hear what else they would say?
"Master, it's not that the slave doesn't make it for you, the skills of several sisters around you are better than Xiaohui, Xiaohui is afraid that the things made will stain your eyes, this material is really bought by Sister Xiaoping, not stolen by the slave." Xiaohui was so frightened that she hurriedly explained.
"Hmph, it's weird and nice, aren't you afraid of staining Master Yi's eyes?" Mrs. Miao Yun asked.
"The cheap hoof is really hard-mouthed, it seems that you won't suffer a little, you won't tell the truth, Mrs. Rong hurriedly started and pumped me hard." Concubine Lian said viciously.
When the Rong woman heard this, she immediately smiled and rolled up her sleeves, seemingly ready to do her best.
Without waiting for Mrs. Rong to pick up the whip, Jiang Xinyi shouted angrily: "Stop me." Then he strode over.
The people in the courtyard originally focused their attention on Xiaohui, and they didn't pay attention to her arrival at all, at this time, when they saw her, they immediately seemed to see a ghost, and they were so frightened that their faces changed color, Concubine Lian pretended to be calm and tidied up her clothes, stood up and gave Jiang Xinyi a salute and said: "My sister didn't know that my sister was coming, I didn't greet her, and I forgot my sister's forgiveness." ”
"Hmph." Jiang Xinyi snorted and walked straight over, pulled up Xiaohui, who was full of tears and trembling with fright, and said to Xiaoping: "Ping'er, how many times have I said it, why can't you remember, my daughter also has gold under her knees, you can't kneel casually, hurry up and come over to me." ”
"Sister Yi, don't get me wrong, my sister really doesn't mean to embarrass Xiaoping, it's just that Xiaohui is too bold to steal our fabric to make shoes, and it's not good for the lady to bother the prince anymore, so my sister wants to figure it out first." Concubine Lian said, and saluted Jiang Xinyi again.
"That means it's to help the prince share the housework, you really have a heart, Ping'er, tell me what's going on?" Jiang Xinyi wiped Xiaohui's tears with a handkerchief and asked Xiaoping, but her eyes didn't look at Concubine Lian.
"Back to the master, the slave wanted to make you a few pairs of spring shoes to wear in the spring, so I asked Dagui to buy me some better cloth that can be used as a shoe upper when I went home to see his mother, Xiaohui also said to help make it, but I don't know who told the informant, saying that the fabric in our hands was to steal the lotus master, so that's it." Xiaoping said aggrievedly.
"Call someone to call Dagui, and then go and confirm the tailoring shop he said, don't you understand? The same fabric is not only bought by people in Yuwangfu, others will also buy tailor-made clothes, so what's so unusual about having the same cloth in a tailoring shop? Jiang Xinyi stared at Mrs. Miaoyun and said.
"Sister Yi is right, I think there is a misunderstanding in this, and there is no need to be so troublesome, just forget it, Xiaohui is so hearted, if you want to make shoes for Sister Yi in the future, what fabrics and silk threads are needed, just go to my yard to choose." Concubine Lian felt that today was not the time to be reckless and competitive, so she hurriedly said soft words, thinking that big things would turn small things into small things.
But Concubine Lian didn't want to think about it, is this aunt's "milk" and "milk" a fuel-efficient lamp!
Jiang Xinyi smiled slightly and said: "What's the trouble then, but since you said so, it seems that I am making a big fuss if I insist, so let's do it, who is the informant, hurry up and stand up for me." ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what she wants to do, Jiang Xinyi's eyes looked around, and she saw the panicked appearance of Mrs. Rong.
"What, no one has come forward to admit it? Then everyone should not leave, stay in this courtyard, and wait for the prince to come back, he can't handle the affairs in his own house, what are you going to do in the palace? Jiang Xinyi put down her face and said.
With a pop, someone knelt down, Jiang Xinyi saw that it was Mrs. Rong, only to see that she hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Master Yi spare the slave and maid, it's all my fault, I didn't figure it out, and I talked 'nonsense'." ”
Jiang Xinyi walked up to her and asked with a sneer, "Do you know who I hate the most?" ”
Mrs. Rong shook her head nervously.
"I hate it the most, the one I hate the most is the informant villain, the traitor, the dog's leg, you and Xiaohui are in the same palace, and they don't get along for a day or two, what kind of person she is will never know, colleagues should take care of each other, you are good, not only do you not take care of her, but also play with right and wrong, framing her, it is really a scourge for people like you to stay in the palace, why don't I go and talk to the prince, change places for you, I just don't know if you can sell it!" Jiang Xinyi said word by word, and her voice was very loud, for fear that everyone would not hear what she said to Mrs. Rong.
"Don't, Master Yi, you will forgive the slave and maid once, I don't dare anymore, Master Lotus, please help me plead for mercy." After Mrs. Rong kowtowed to Jiang Xinyi, seeing that she ignored herself, she was so frightened that she crawled in front of Concubine Lian again, holding her legs with both hands and begging bitterly.
Concubine Lian frowned, kicked her away in disgust and scolded: "You deserve it, who let you tell you right and wrong and make Sister Yi angry." Then he turned his head away and stopped looking at her.
Mrs. Rong threw a handful of snot and tears at the other ladies for help, but they all turned their heads without exception, and in desperation, she had no choice but to climb to Jiang Xinyi's side again: "Master Yi, you can spare the slave maid." She wailed.
Xiaoping knew her master's temper and ignored her, but Xiaohui reached out and pulled Jiang Xinyi's sleeve and said, "Master Yi, anyway, if the matter is clear, let her go." ”
"Xiaohui, it's not that I'm ruthless, if I hadn't just arrived just now, I'm afraid she wouldn't be so kind to help you intercede. You are afraid of her, but I am not afraid, if you don't teach her a lesson, maybe one day she will frame someone else. Jiang Xinyi held Xiaohui's cold hand and said.
Xiaoping also signaled Xiaohui to stop care.
Jiang Xinyi actually didn't want to go too far, in case she left the palace, she was afraid that this evil woman would bully Xiaohui and Xiaoping even more, she sighed to calm herself down, and then lowered her head and said to Mrs. Rong: "Just slap fifty times, remember, you are also a subordinate, why bother to embarrass a hard-working person like you?" ”
When Mrs. Rong heard this, she quickly kowtowed and thanked her, and then opened the bow left and right with both hands, and slapped herself with a snap, without any water, and after a few clicks, the corners of her mouth were bloody.
Jiang Xinyi didn't care about Concubine Lian, she took care of herself with one hand and Xiaohui with the other hand to the house where they lived, Xiaoping told her that Steward Ji arranged another room for her and Xiaohui, that is, next door, Liu Jun and Xiao Li followed to the door as they were, but they didn't dare to go in, Liu Jun was admired, Xiao Li also looked back at Mrs. Rong who was kneeling and fanning her mouth from time to time, with a gloating face.
"Which of you two is going to get a brazier and charcoal, okay?" Didn't you take care of me? It would be your dereliction of duty to freeze me cold. Jiang Xinyi opened the door, and after saying to Liu Jun and Xiao Li, she immediately closed the door, leaving the two people looking at each other.
"We are dignified guards with knives, how can she do this." Xiao Li whined.
"I don't even care about the lord of the prince, are we two farts? What to see, do you go or do I go? Liu Jun said disapprovingly + passionately.
"I'd better go." Xiao Li strode away as he spoke, as if fleeing, Liu Jun looked at his back and smiled.
Lunch and dinner, Jiang Xinyi and Xiaoping ate together, the meal was specially sent by Ji Hai, the stove in the house was prosperous, the three of them talked and laughed, it was so lively, Xiaohui was much more natural than the first meeting, in the afternoon, Xiaoping was ordered to open the door and ask Liu Jun and Xiao Li to enter the house to roast the fire, but neither of them dared to enter, and Jiang Xinyi didn't care about them anymore.
"Master, do you really want to sleep here?" After dark, Xiaoping asked Jiang Xinyi, who was washing and undressing.
"Yes, don't you welcome me? Don't worry, the prince hasn't come back until now, it is estimated that he is picking up girls outside, he won't come back tonight, hurry up and go to bed, I'll tell you a story. Jiang Xinyi said to the young ladies who were stunned on the ground.
"Master, what about the stove? Don't go out anymore? Xiaoping asked.
"It's okay, I've checked, there are several air leaks in this house, so don't worry about poisoning." Jiang Xinyi turned the two quilts sideways, made a quilt nest, and got in.
Just when Xiaohui and Xiaoping also took off their coats and were about to turn off the lights and drill the quilt, there was a rough knock on the door, "Xinyi, are you sleeping?" Open the door. ”
"It's over, what can I do here, master, the prince is here." Xiaoping was so frightened that she stomped her feet, not knowing whether to open the door or not.
"What are you afraid of, there is no man in our house, tell him that I am asleep." Jiang Xinyi didn't mean to get up at all.
"Lord Wang, Master Yi asked me to tell you that she is asleep." Xiaohui said such a sentence in fright, which amused Jiang Xinyi and the prince outside the door.
"Hurry up and open the door, or I'll kick it in." Wen Yuxin pretended to be very angry and said.
This time, Xiaoping only put on her coat honestly and opened the door.
Wen Yuxin walked to the front of the shop, looked at Jiang Xinyi blinking at him innocently with big eyes, and asked, "Why don't you wait for me in the house?" What does sleeping in this room look like? ”
"Aren't people afraid of the cold, who knows if you won't be able to come back at night, so I sleep with them." Jiang Xinyi said pitifully.
"Xinyi means that this king must come back every night, otherwise, you won't sleep alone?" Wen Yuxin asked.
Jiang Xinyi nodded, and then said with a sweet smile: "That's it for now, if you are also cold, go to the concubines and them, I promise not to be jealous." ”
"If Xinyi says so, it is better for this king to sleep here tonight and accompany you." Wen Yuxin said badly, and was about to untie his robe.
"No, you don't give me a crooked brain, and ruin the reputation of Xiaoping and Xiaohui." Jiang Xinyi was excited, lifted the quilt, knelt on the bunk, and said to him fiercely while pinching her waist.
Wen Yuxin ignored her, picked up her cotton robe and wrapped her, untied her cotton robe again, wrapped her again, hugged her and said, "Then go back with me obediently." ”
Jiang Xinyi didn't dare to resist anymore, she nestled in his arms honestly, and let him cover his face, Wen Yuxin walked out with a smile, and in the courtyard, Liu Jun, Xiao Li, Lian Cheng, and Ziqi watched the prince come out with a big bag, and no one dared to say: "Lord, come, let's hold it for you." ”
In the room where the next person lived, there were pairs of curious eyes everywhere by the crack of the door and the window.
On the way back, Wen Yuxin was wondering, how to talk to her about tomorrow?
