Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sleepless Nights
Old Madam Su beckoned everyone to disperse, because it was indeed not early.
Then he turned to Jin Xi and said, "Jin Xi, you go to me." β
Jin Xi said, "Yes." Then she went to the old lady's bedroom with the old lady, but she didn't notice the vicious eyes behind her, as if they were about to melt Jinxi's body. Those eyes were coming from the eldest lady Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: "Okay, you dead girl, since you made me unable to raise my head in front of the old lady and everyone in the Su family, I won't do anything, you wait!" β
Jin Xi followed the old lady to her bedroom, and the old lady sat on the chair: "Jin Xi, this time it is thanks to you that I have saved the reputation of the Su family, so I want to reward you with something." β
As he spoke, he glanced at the next person, took out a small red cloth bag and handed it to Jin Xi's hand: "Jin Xi, this is what your grandmother left me when I passed the exam of Guihuang Academy, you have to put it away." β
Jin Xi said: "Such a valuable gift, I ......" Jin Xi was a little hesitant, not because she was moved by the old lady, but because she felt that she must have another purpose behind her. "What the hell is the old lady thinking? I didn't pay attention to me before, but now I ......"
Old Madam Su smiled slyly and said: "You have to understand that the weight of this phoenix hairpin is not just what you imagined, in the future, the success or failure and future of the Su family will depend on you." β
Jin Xi chuckled in her heart: "Hmph, I'll just say, this old witch is scheming, how can she give me such a valuable thing for nothing, it's just that she is wearing a high hat for me." β
But she didn't say anything on the surface: "Mrs. Xie, I will live up to my mission." Rest assured. Then he put the phoenix hairpin in the pocket in front of his chest.
The old lady yawned and habitually stomped on her crutches: "Okay, ha~ The old man is sleepy, you go down." β
Jin Xi possessed the old lady and returned to her room.
The wine master was sitting in the front hall of her room drinking, and Jin Xi said, "Wine master, this time it is thanks to you. β
The wine master put down the wine gourd in his hand, stroked his beard and said, "Little girl, don't say much, if it weren't for your talent, you wouldn't have been able to have such a level in such a short time." β
Jin Xi said, "Is the wine master ready to leave...... Because I remember that you said before that if you help me succeed this time, you will continue to travel all over the world, I wonder when you will set off, Master? β
The wine master waved his hand: "I originally thought so, but I didn't expect that you girl still has a lot of wisdom, in fact, I have been traveling all over the world for so long, and I have always wanted to accept an apprentice, but I have never had good materials, until I met you." β
When Jin Xi heard this, his joy blossomed: "What does Master mean...... You're not leaving? β
The wine master also deliberately teased her: "If you want me to go, then it's okay, I'll continue to live my leisurely life......"
Jin Xi hurriedly said, "No, no, Master, you can be here, teach me to draw until I graduate from the academy, okay?" β
The wine master said: "Yes, yes, but I want to tell you first, I don't know what is going on in your family, and I don't want to know, so if there is something because of you that affects my peace of mind, eating meat and drinking, then I will definitely not stay for a moment and leave immediately." β
Jin Xi frowned and said, "That...... Shall I arrange a place for you to stay outside tonight? Would it be nice to find you a new place to live tomorrow during the day? β
The wine master's eyes widened: "Why is this?" Stumped? The wine master guessed the reason, "Is it because of your sister and sister?" I guess they won't let you go today, maybe tonight. The wine master also had a worried expression.
Jin Xi also said worriedly: "They will definitely have a move, but they are about to go to the exam of Guihuang Academy, it is estimated that they will scare and scare me, but it is inevitable that there will be noise, so you should go to the inn for a night, right?" β
The wine master said, "You girl is confident, but don't let me go to a corpse tomorrow morning to ask for wine and meat!" β
Jin Xi said confidently: "Look at what you said, absolutely not, as long as I still have a breath, I will definitely be able to let you drink enough, okay?" β
Jin Xi said and took out some scattered silver and gave it to the wine master: "Master, this is enough for you to find a room, and the money for wine and food is enough." β
The master of wine waved his hand, took the silver, and staggered through the back door to find a place to stay.
Jin Xi's guess was right, Zhao Yunlan and Jin Ruo Jinxuan were discussing how to deal with Jin Xi in the house.
Zhao Yunlan gritted her teeth with hatred: "This brocade, I can't get out of this evil breath today, how can I get mixed up in the Su family in the future?" β
Jin Xuan could only cry: "Woo, mother, I was wrong, I blamed me for being too naΓ―ve, so I listened to Jinwan's words...... Woo woo, it's all she said that Jin Xi didn't paint well, I ...... I...... Woooooooo β
Zhao Yunlan shouted: "Enough! You girl, don't cry! What's the use of crying? Su Jinwan's girl, which sentence is either listening to the wind or rain? You believe her word too! β
Jin Ruo said: "Mother, it's not a way for us to get angry, it's better to ...... Are we like this? β
Jin Ruo's bad stomach started to work again, and they decided to pretend to be a thief and then take the opportunity to search Jin Xi's room.
The plan was quietly and in full swing.
Of course, Jin Xi didn't dare to sleep here, she knew that the eldest lady would definitely find a way to deal with herself, so she turned off the lights and pretended to close her eyes on the bed to recuperate.
Just when Jin Xi's sleepiness crept up her eyelids, there was a noise and the sound of people walking outside the door, and the entire Su family's mansion could be found to be lit up from a long distance.
Jin Xi didn't know what was going on outside, but saw an agile figure wearing night walking obedience to the wall outside his bedroom.
By this time, the sound of very untidy, crackling footsteps could already be heard outside. There were also people shouting, "Catch the thief!" Catch the thief! Voice.
Jin Xi was shocked: "It's not good! β
But at this time, it was too late, and the eldest lady slammed the door violently at the door: "Su Jinxi! Are you in the house? Open the door! β
Jin Xi got out of bed unhurriedly and went to open the door.
The eldest lady couldn't help but push open the door of Jinxi's bedroom: "Jinxi, a few pieces of my Jinruo and my jewelry are missing, did you see the black shadow just now?" I'm afraid that our family has recruited thieves. I just saw that he seemed to have disappeared from you? β
Jin Xi said: "I did see a figure shuttling past, but he jumped over the wall from behind. β
Zhao Yunlan was quite unreasonable, and looked at Jin Xi, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and became angry: "Oh? Really? β
