Chapter 022: The Foot Journey Is No Slower Than the Beast
The basket got up and went out, and when he came back after a while, he woke up Pei Xie Tang very suspiciously: "Miss, this is sent by Madame." β
"What about people?" The basket opened the box, but inside were two bowls of warm white fungus porridge, Pei Xie Tang stared at the porridge for a while, and then smiled: "Shouldn't you send it and leave?" β
"Still at the door." The basket got up and called the man in.
"Third Miss, this is sent by the lady to the slave maid, the lady said that she was wrong in the past, and asked the third lady not to worry about her." The girl accompanied the smiling face.
Pei Xie Tang smiled: "Is this what your wife wants to say, or did you say it for her on your own initiative?" β
"Third Miss Mingjian, it is true that every word was conveyed by my wife's slave maid." The girl cautiously glanced at Pei Xie Tang, after the events of the past two days, these subordinates knew that Xie Chengyin in front of them really couldn't be provoked, and they didn't even dare to say out loud: "Madam also said that in the future, the third miss will go to the main courtyard for three meals a day to eat, and the third young lady will eat whatever the main courtyard eats." This porridge is Madame's intention today, if the third lady is unwilling to drink it, that is, she will not forgive her, then she can only send it in person. β
The basket lowered his voice and said in Pei Xie Tang's ear: "Miss, Madam is suddenly so enthusiastic about us, will there be something in the porridge?" β
She's so scared of being harmed!
Pei Xie Tang also muttered in his heart, he was courteous and attentive for nothing, either a traitor or a thief, what idea did the Fan family want to fight?
She thought, slowly picked up the white fungus porridge and brought it to her mouth, and just scooped a spoonful, she saw that the girl was happy, and there was really something wrong with this porridge! Brought the spoon to his nose and sniffed it carefully, a familiar smell rushed into his nose, and Pei Xie Tang smiled.
"Basket, come, this porridge is so fragrant, you drink a bowl." She rolled her eyes, gently pulled the basket and sat down, and without saying a word, she fed the white fungus porridge in the bowl to the basket, Yu Guang glanced at the girl, and she smiled: "You go back and tell Madame, I know her gratitude, leave this porridge, I will drink it later." β
The girl told her a few more words before leaving: "Third Miss, you must drink it, white fungus porridge is not delicious when it is cold." β
The basket thought that Pei Xie Tang was deliberately angry with Fan's, so he fed the porridge sent by Fan to apologize to himself, but he was just pretending, who knew that after the girl left, Pei Xie Tang still didn't mean to take it back, but instead sent the porridge to her mouth with a calm expression, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous, it's good to drink, hurry up!" β
"Miss, what do you mean by that, ma'am?" I heard that it was not poisonous, so the basket believed it and ate the bowl in Pei Xie Tang's hand.
Pei Xie Tang shrugged: "I suffered a loss in my hands, come to show goodwill." β
The basket yawned: "But...... She used to ...... Not so! β
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep." Pei Xie Tang gently stirred the bowl in his hand, looked at the basket and smiled lightly.
The basket shook his head: "No, there is still a small part of Miss's clothes to be ready, the slave maid has to hurry up, otherwise, there will be no clothes available for Miss Wen's birthday banquet tomorrow......"
"It's weird that you can still keep your eyes open!"
Pei Xie Tang saw that her eyelids had collapsed when she spoke, and he leaned softly on the table, stood up and set up the basket, and sent it to the outer couch of his room to lie down, and when he covered the basket with a quilt, the basket was already unconscious. Under the moonlight, the girl's face was quiet, and Pei Xie Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There is indeed a problem with the porridge sent by Fan, but it is not a poison, but a mystery. Medicine.
It seems that the Fan family is playing some kind of ghost idea again!
Pei Xie Tang laughed, fan. The medicine is not tight, the amount of food in the left and right bowls is not much, and the basket will wake up tomorrow afternoon at most, but it solves a big problem for her - this girl is too stubborn, for a piece of clothing, she has never closed her eyes from last night to now, and it would be strange if she stayed up all night and was not tired. She was worried that it would be too difficult to convince the basket to go to sleep, but she didn't expect that Fan's bowl of white fungus porridge would perfectly solve her anxiety.
After closing the room, Pei Xie Tang also fell asleep, but his ears were pricked up in his sleep, and he was always listening to the movements outside.
The main house.
When the girl returned to the yard after delivering the white fungus porridge, Fan and Xie Feifei immediately surrounded her: "Did Xie Chengyin drink it?" β
"The third lady drank a few sips, and the basket was all drunk." The girl blessed her body and said with a smile: "Now, I'm afraid that the people in the Manjiang Court won't wake up until tomorrow afternoon."
"Xie Chengyin only drank a few sips?" Xie Feifei's face was full of disappointment.
Xie Yiyi smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter if Xie Chengyin drinks it or not, she can't do any needlework, and this porridge is also prepared for the basket." When you went, what did you see with the basket of clothes? β
The girl shook her head: "There is still a small part left, it is formed, and half of the embroidery is done." β
Xie Feifei snorted: "Xie Chengyin wants to wear new clothes to the banquet, but we have to see if we agree." You go again later, and when they are all asleep, you will dismantle her clothes. β
Xie Yiyi also instructed: "Be quick with your hands and feet, don't let people see it." β
The girl nodded and walked quickly.
In the afternoon, when Xie Feifei went to Manjiang Garden, he saw the basket making clothes, and when he came back, Xie Yiyi immediately guessed that it was for tomorrow's birthday banquet. Originally, I didn't have to worry about anything, the invitation was in the hands of my mother, and my mother said that if she didn't bring it, she Xie Chengyin could still turn the sky upside down? But I didn't expect such a fuss at night, and my father also knew about the main courtyard deducting Xie Chengyin's money, if I didn't take Xie Chengyin tomorrow, I wouldn't let my father get angry again.
Well, now, there's a reason!
Immediately, the mother and daughter smiled, thinking of tomorrow's events, and the previous depression was swept away.
Xie Feifei leaned coquettishly on Fan's body: "Mother, when tomorrow passes, Young Master Wen will be my sister's fiancΓ©, without the marriage contract with Young Master Wen, whether she Xie Chengyin is good or not, she can't fight us anymore!" Mother, after my sister marries into the Wen family, I must settle today's accounts with Xie Chengyin and pull out her skin! β
Dare to hit her, don't think about Xie Chengyin!
Fan pinched her cheeks dotingly, and then looked at the shy eldest daughter, only to feel that the two daughters were their own backers and their own blessings, full of pride, and all promised: "Okay, when the time comes, my mother will hand over Xie Chengyin to you!" β
Pei Xie Tang has been walking in hell and coming back, and his sleep has become much less, and after getting up early and practicing morning classes, he thought that there were still many things to do, so he deliberately went to the streets for a walk. The prosperity of the capital in the eastern continent, now it is the beginning of spring, the market sells cultivation items, early grain, fresh dishes in an endless stream, Pei Xie Tang walked in it, more and more aware that he is alive, full of joy, if it is not for the shyness in the pocket, I really want to empty the items on the street.
In the end, Pei Xie Tang only bought a few catties of gray noodles and returned to Xie's house.
Where she walked, in the corners where no one had found, two intersecting lines were left.
At this time, it was already three poles in the morning, and after such a big walk, Pei Xie Tang was already hungry, so he went to the big kitchen to get some food, and as soon as he sat down, he was startled by the screams of the basket.
"Miss, clothes, clothes......" The basket was pale and almost unsteady on his feet.
Pei Xie Tang knew what was going on, not long after she fell asleep last night, someone sneaked into the yard, she got up and saw that it was the girl who delivered the porridge who was doing her tricks. This dress is going to be worn to Wensu's birthday banquet, but Pei Xie Tang has no intention of this marriage contract at all, she already has a plan, this marriage contract can't be wanted, it is best to be able to cut through the mess quickly, it doesn't matter at all, so I didn't think about blocking it, but it was a pity that the basket was in mind.
Pei Xie Tang held the basket: "That's it, when we have money, you can make me a new set." β
"But without clothes, Miss won't be able to go to the Wen family......" The basket was teary-eyed.
Pei Xie Tang was about to persuade her, when he suddenly heard a sneer at the gate of the courtyard: "Yo, Xie Chengyin, this is about to leave for the Wen family, why haven't you even changed your clothes?" β
As soon as the two turned around, they saw the two sisters Fan and Xie Yiyi standing at the gate of the courtyard in costumes, Xie Yiyi was wearing a smoky skirt, the skirt was matched with the most popular light yarn at the moment, and she was like a misty moon when she walked, which was particularly beautiful; Xie Feifei was wearing a milky white double-trong skirt, her waist was thinly tied, and her graceful body was visible at a glance.
In comparison, the orange dress on Pei Xie Tang is too plain!
It was Xie Feifei who spoke just now, and she covered her mouth exaggeratedly. Ba: "No, you don't even have a decent banquet dress, do you?" What can I do, take you out, our Xie family will be too embarrassed! β
"Second sister, don't say that you are yin, they are all your own sisters, she is disgraced, aren't we ashamed?" Xie Yiyi gently persuaded on the side, but the words she said were just as sharp as those that pierced people's hearts: "Third sister, if you go out like this, how angry will your father be if he sees it?" You hurry to change your clothes, the carriage is already waiting. If you really don't have it, I'll ask the girl to get a set of what I wore and send it to you, I don't wear it anyway, and it's a waste to put it away. β
"Wait for the girl to get it and come back, it's too late, your father has been waiting for a long time." Fan's face was full of impatience: "Xie Chengyin, whether you go to the Wen family or not, if you don't go, we'll leave." When your father asks, don't say I won't take you. β
"Of course my young lady is going!" The basket hurriedly said, "It's ......"
Fan said angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes?" Xie Chengyin, you want our Xie family to be late, don't you? β
"Mother, let's go first, wait for Xie Chengyin to change his clothes, and come after us." Xie Feifei pulled Fan and Xie Yiyi arrogantly: "Anyway, she is a martial artist, and her feet are no slower than that of animals." β
Hearing her compare Xie Chengyin with livestock, Basket suddenly became angry: "You ......"
Pei Xie Tang pulled her, but smiled: "Okay, you guys go first, I still have to go to the West Chamber to get my jade pendant, back and forth, time is very slow!" β
Jade pendant!
Fan and Xie Yiyi glanced at each other, they were all overjoyed, did Xie Chengyin just say that she hid the jade pendant in the West Chamber?
