Chapter 137: If you knew today, why bother
Fortunately, not far from where the carriage broke down, there is a restaurant.
Song Yixiao let the left and right support, and after trekking hard for a while against the wind and snow, he finally stepped into the building.
"Is there a private room?" The guard went to the counter to ask, but not far away, someone said "huh", followed by getting up and walking over, and said, "Brother and sister? How did you get here? β
Song Yixiao was still wearing a hat, it was cold, and the restaurant only left two door panels for people to come in, and there were thick curtains, although the lights were lit in the building, it was inevitably dim. So when she heard this, she immediately looked over, but she only saw a vague figure through the veil, and she didn't know who it was for a while, so she had to say vaguely: "The car is broken, it's snowing outside, come here and wait for someone to go back to the house to find another car to pick it up." β
"Ah Xu'er is probably very busy today, so he may not have time to pick you up, right?" The man said with a smile, "If you don't dislike it, don't wait, just take my car back." β
Song Yi laughed until she couldn't remember who he was, but she was familiar with his tone, so she had to quietly lift up a little veil - at this glance, she almost shivered on the spot: Ji Mingfei!
In fact, although she was embarrassed when she met Ji Mingfei, the "big cousin Ji" who turned the corner did not feel sorry for her, and her attitude was even affectionate. But I don't know why, Song Yixiao felt numb and uncomfortable when she saw this.
This will laugh dryly, and subconsciously want to excuse himself: "Cousin Ji also came by car?" If I want your car, what will you do when you're leaving? β
"I don't want to go!" Ji Mingfei didn't care and said, "There is a family behind this restaurant whose daughter has a good relationship with me, I'll go there for one night, and someone will pick me up tomorrow!" β
Song Yixiao knows the so-called "daughter of a family", eight times out of ten. Nine is some kind of darkness. Prostitute - she couldn't think of a suitable answer after thinking for a while, so she had to say, "Thank you big cousin!" β
"Why do you have to say anything outside your family?" Ji Mingfei smiled and ordered someone to go to the backyard to put his carriage out, looked at his cousin and daughter-in-law, and said, "But Ah Xuan really doesn't hurt people, on this windy and snowy day, what can't be delayed, so that you are a delicate woman and come out to run around?" β
Song Yixiao felt that his words were a little frivolous, but first, he was a relative, and secondly, he accepted the help of others, and she didn't say anything, so she only smiled and said: "Linghu Shangshu is worried, since my husband is in the military department, I have to go to Linghu Mansion to say a little annoyance-when I came back, I met my mother's mother and my sister waiting on the side of the road with a broken carriage, but after sending them home, I walked not far from here, and my own car was also broken!" β
"That's a coincidence!" Ji Mingfei smiled, "I originally planned to drink for a while and leave, but if you come later, you won't be able to meet you." It seems that we are a family in the end, and we are destined! β
"Isn't this man serious?" Song Yixiao frowned slightly, "The eldest uncle has a relationship with his brother and daughter-in-law...... It's not a mess. Len?! How can anyone talk like that! β
Fortunately, at this time, the carriage arrived at the door, Song Yi smiled at this, didn't answer his words, thanked him, and turned around and went out.
This time when she returned to the Yanguo Mansion, she finally didn't encounter any more trouble, she asked Mu Shi first after entering the door, and when she learned that she had left, she asked Wei Chan: "How are you feeling?" Have you ever cried? Do you have a look of embarrassment on your face? β
Jin Xun followed her into the inner room, replacing her with the snow and water. Wet dress, side said: "You just came out of the apricot pavilion with your front feet, and their mother and daughter hugged each other on your back feet, can you not cry?" As for Miss Watch's face, the slave maid looked at it, and she was always sad during this timeβno matter what, why don't you have some food and then go over? β
Song Yixiao tossed for most of the day, and now he didn't even have lunch, and he was really a little unbearable. After hearing this, Wei Chan had already eaten lunch, so he said, "That's called the kitchen to set up the meal, I'm really hungry!" β
After lunch, and drank warm apricot cheese, Song Yixiao wrapped himself in fox fur and rushed to the apricot pavilion against the wind and snow.
Hearing Wei Chan say that Ai Ai said that she would return to Wei's house the day after tomorrow, she was surprised: "Although you can get up now, you are not all right, and you have lived around these days, so why rush to leave?" Especially now that the weather is cold, although the Wei family is in the same imperial capital, they have to cross several streets from here! If the wind blows along the way and freezes, won't it make matters worse? β
Wei Chan swallowed and said: "There is a car sitting horizontally and vertically, and it won't blow the wind." What's more, it's already November, and you're getting busier and busier, and it's not convenient for me to live here. β
"Nothing inconvenient." Song Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Your brother-in-law is in charge of everything in the backyard, and now I don't want to get up early and ask the elders to say goodbye, and there are no uncles and sisters-in-law to take care of, no matter how busy you are, how busy can you be?" β
I wondered, "What did my aunt tell you just now?" Why do you suddenly want to go back? β
"Since the marriage with Lu Sangongzi will definitely be withdrawn, my mother said that it should be sooner rather than later." Seeing this, Wei Chan pursed her lips and said, "Taking advantage of the excitement of the Holy Birthday and the Longevity Festival, I did it quietly, and in the future, others will know about it, and it will be a good time." If I don't go back to this matter, I'm afraid some people will think that my withdrawal has something to do with you and your brother-in-law, isn't this just dragging you two into the water? β
Song Yixiao heard that this was the reason, so she didn't leave her, and only said: "If there is any trouble in this matter, just send someone to tell me." β
Wei Chan thanked herself again and again - the two cousins talked for a long time, until the next person came to tell Jian Xubai that Jian Xubai was back, and Song Yixiao got up and left.
The Apricot Pavilion is really remote, and when she arrived at Keshao Hall, Jian Xubai had not only changed into a robe, but also drank almost a cup of tea in her hand. Seeing her enter the door, he immediately put aside the tea bowl to greet her, and said with concern: "I heard that your carriage is broken down on the road today?" Does it matter to people? β
"The hub is broken, it's just a start, it's nothing." Song Yixiao knew that he was very precious to himself now, and if he told the truth, he might have to punish the coachman heavily - although the coachman was not her person, it was not easy to catch the car on a snowy day, so she walked aisle, "It's also funny: I met my stepmother and second sister first, and their car broke down, so I volunteered to send them home." As a result, after sending them off, on the way back, our car also broke down! β
Jian Xubai was really displeased: "The wheel hub is broken, it must be that the coachman usually doesn't pay attention to it......"
"I want to come back early and urge him to drive faster!" Song Yi smiled when he saw that there was no one in the house, stretched out his arm around his neck, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, there may not be an accident - besides, I'm not bad, I thought it would be good to come back before dark today, but in a nearby restaurant, guess I met someone who lent me a carriage?" β
Jian Xubai glanced at the soft wattle that his wife was putting on his shoulder, his eyes softened, and he chuckled: "It's not Cousin Ji or Cousin Ji?" β
Song Yixiao was surprised: "How do you know? β
"On this snowy day, tomorrow is still the Holy Birthday Festival, and every family is busy, who will go to the restaurant to stay if they have nothing to do?" Jian Xubai said pleasantly, "So the person who lent you the carriage must be a man - you don't have a brother, so the person who lent you the carriage must be a relative on my side, you have only been in the door for two months, I know you, you know you, and this kind of day is still wandering outside, except for the two cousins of the Ji family, who else can there be?" β
Seeing his determined face, Song Yi rolled his eyes with a smile and said, "That's not necessarily!" Although I don't have any brothers, I have a lot of cousins! How do you know that I didn't meet my uncle's cousin and come back in a carriage? β
"I said it, because tomorrow is Holy Birthday!" Jian smiled and said, "The Wei family is just barely qualified to participate in the birthday banquet, so they are very cautious about going to the banquet, how can they let their children eat and drink outside?" If something goes wrong and affects Ming'er, wouldn't you regret it? β
It's just that the Ji brothers who have backers will not care about tomorrow's state. This will dare to drink outside, not to mention, and it is estimated that he will have to stay at the prostitute's house overnight.
Song Yi smiled and pondered for a while, wanting to say something, but only pursed the corners of his lips.
Jian Xubai noticed her action, smiled playfully, and said, "Do you still want to say that it could be Lu Guanlun?" But Lu Guanlun is like me, no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, unless I accompany my elders or female relatives to go out, I will ride a horse, and I will not ride in a car no matter how heavy the wind and snow. So you just meet him, and he doesn't have a car to lend you! β
As for Lu Guanlun who happened to accompany someone to take the car, "He lent you the car, how can the elders or female relatives he accompanied go back?" At most, I will take a detour to bring you back, and I will never lend you the whole carriage! β
Song Yixiao couldn't pick out the thorns, so he had to say stupidly: "Okay, you won, I met Cousin Ji." β
"Although the eldest cousin is romantic, he is still not bad for his relatives." Jian Xubai's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "I guess you're probably meeting him!" β
Song Yi smiled and said, it was not easy to say what Ji Ming was not, but said: "The eldest cousin has not yet married, I have been helped by him this time, but it is inconvenient to thank me personally, you can convey it on my behalf when you go back!" "Such a cousin who she saw with her own eyes having an affair with her mother-in-law, she really wanted to stay away.
"Nature." Jian Xubai smiled and said, "I don't worry when I know that you came back early, how can I not thank him?" β
That's what he said-after Jian Xubai teased his wife for a while, he went to the study under the pretext of official business, and as soon as he entered the door of the study, his face darkened: "Ji Su, you go in person, go and tell the surnamed Ji, he calculates that other people are okay, dare to fight good ideas, I will kill him!" β
Ji Su hurriedly persuaded him to calm his anger, and said, "The eldest prince of Ji likes the matter of a married woman, why don't you tell your wife?" Madame knows, she will definitely avoid him! β
This is more effective than you threatening Ji Ming in private!
After all, Ji Mingfei has this hobby of seducing his wife for a day or two, and even the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the aunt who turns the corner, can do it, not to mention that Song Yixiao's cousin and daughter-in-law are the same generation as him?
It's no wonder he'd give up because of Jane's threat!
The Fuyang Marquis Mansion, who is his backer horizontally and vertically, is not the same as Jian Xubai's current position, and sooner or later there will be a pinch!
It's better to let Song Yixiao know the true face of this relative, increase vigilance, and eliminate the possibility of him seducing him from the root!
ββ¦β¦ Last time, she said that Lu Guanlun used to take good care of her, and I said a few words. Jian Xu's white face sank like water, and he was silent for a while before he said depressedly, "This time, the surnamed Ji borrowed a carriage for her. Son, how can you not miss him? I'm talking bad about him now, what if I misunderstand and I'm going to trouble her again? β
It was not easy for him to reconcile with his wife, but he didn't want to quarrel again in just one night!
Ji Su secretly smiled bitterly when he heard this: Didn't you coax Mrs. Earlier, there would be nothing to do? As a result, now I know that someone is beating my wife's idea, and I don't dare to tell the truth!
