Chapter 133: Counterattack
Cai Fu gave a few sweat towels given by Rosin to Jin Chao, and Jin Chao compared and looked at the sweat towel of Hangzhou white crepe.
She is the best at embroidery, and at a glance she understands that this is something embroidered by the same person.
The sweat towel was indeed given to Steward Zhao by Rosin, and the two of them may not have been in private for a day or two. This rosin should have planned to marry Steward Zhao, although Steward Zhao has a wife, but at least he looks good, and he is the steward of the department.
Cai Fu told Jin Chao all the conversations she heard outside the back room, "The slave maid sees that this rosin girl is not a kind-hearted person, but the slave maid doesn't understand, the rosin girl is obviously in love with Steward Zhao." Why do you have such a friendship with the talented son of the detonator again......"
Jin Chao smiled, rosin is such a smart person, with a higher branch to climb, why bother picking it up.
She looked at the sweat towel in her hand, still thinking about how to tell Feng about it. It is definitely not possible to say it directly, it is best for Feng to find out for himself...... Jin Chao suddenly had an idea in his heart.
She asked Tong's mother to come in and said to her, "Can you find out the little girl who helped Rosin deliver things in the East Cross Courtyard?" ”
Tong's mother nodded: "That mother-in-law has been secretly watching and can recognize this girl's appearance." ”
Jin Chao gave the white crepe sweat towel embroidered with peonies to Tong's mother, and instructed: "You found this girl, bought her, asked her to put the things back in their original places, and then went to bring a message to Xu Houcai, and said that the things were given to him by rosin." said that the rosin girl beside Mrs. Tai had always liked him, and wanted to invite him to talk to her in the East Cross Courtyard......"
Tong's mother was a little stunned, the eldest lady said this...... Why is she a little incomprehensible?
Jin Chao explained: "This is a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone. Didn't Xu Houcai dislike that our Qingpu was not worthy of him, so find someone who was worthy of him. ”
Mother Tong thought for a moment before she understood what Gu Jinchao meant, but she was still a little confused: "Miss, what ...... Then Mrs. Tai found out and asked. What should we do if this little girl tells us out? ”
Jin Chao smiled and said: "Didn't she do such a thing before, you just threaten her, if she is disobedient." So he passed on the news of her delivery to Rosin to her grandmother, and kept her obedient. She helped with the aftermath. You give her another bag of silver nudes as compensation. ”
Tong's mother understood, and smiled and promised.
Xu Houcai was watching the little maid add fodder to the horses, and scolded and scolded: "Add so much wheat bran to the hay, you don't need money to be wheat bran!" It's not the time to use it, give me more grass ......" After a few words of training, Xu Hou sat down and took a sip of wine to warm up. It was getting colder and colder, and he was not enough to wear a thin cotton jacket to keep out the cold, so Xu Houcai casually withdrew a few wheat straws. After the group, it is stuffed into the padded jacket to keep warm.
The little girl came over and told him that a little girl had come to the East Cross Courtyard to look for him.
Xu Houcai thought that it was another family matter, and he was not very happy to go, so he waited for a long time to get to the outside of the stable, and the little girl combed her hair and complained for a while when she saw him: "Why don't you hurry up!" This is Miss Rosin looking for something for you! ”
Rosin girl? Xu Houcai naturally knew that he was a celebrity next to Mrs. Tai. Only then did he perk up and asked the little girl, "What is the matter with Miss Rosin looking for me?" But does Mrs. Tai have orders? ”
This girl was a little apprehensive, as if she was in a hurry to leave. lowered his voice again: "Miss Rosin asked me to say that she actually admires you in her heart and wants you to go to the East Cross Courtyard to meet her." She rests the day after tomorrow...... She still has something to give you, just put it in the gap of the Taihu Lake stone outside, you can find it yourself! ”
After the girl finished speaking, she ran away, but Xu Houcai was shocked by what the girl said. The rosin beside Mrs. Tai, who usually has eyes higher than the clouds and doesn't give them a good face, actually admires him? Want to talk to him?
I heard that Rosin Xu gave the third master's family a son who was in charge, could it be that he was going to get married, so he wanted to express his heart to him?
Xu Houcai couldn't help laughing, he could have a good-looking and high-eyed girl like Rosin Xiang to admire him. Can he be unhappy? After straightening his padded jacket, he hurriedly went outside to find the Taihu Stone. Sure enough, I found that there was a white crepe sweat towel inside. The sweat towel is fragrant and embroidered with a cluster of moon flowers. Such a material. But ordinary girls can't use it.
Xu Houcai put the sweat towel under his nose and sniffed it, with a look of intoxication, and then put the sweat towel into his arms. There is still a little pride in his heart, he doesn't look down on the green pu, this rosin girl is a beauty, but it's a pity that she is engaged to someone else...... But as long as they haven't gotten married, then they're not out of luck.
The day after tomorrow, Xu Houcai received the things to be sent to the East Cross Courtyard at the back office and personally sent them over.
Jin Chao was listening to Feng's lecture on Buddhist scriptures in the western room. Gu Lan and Gu Lian were also listening, but Gu Lian was drowsy and didn't close her eyes yet.
Gu Lan glanced at Gu Jinchao, she asked someone to give her a pair of Hetian jade paperweights a few days ago...... What does that mean?
Gu Jinchao wanted to say something, but he actually picked a white jade paperweight. Could it be that she knew about herself and Yao Gongzi...... But how is this possible! Gu Lan has been restless for the past few days, thinking about this all the time, but Gu Jinchao can't see anything there......
Today, it was Gu Jin who visited the Feng family and invited them to come over to listen to the Feng family's lecture. Feng is also very happy, and his daughter's self-cultivation is always good.
Gu Lan didn't see the rosin costume Feng, it should be her taking a turn...... She turned around, but she didn't see Qingpu behind Gu Jinchao.
After a while, the girl came to report: "...... Steward Xu sent something over, and the slave maid put it in the west room for you. ”
Feng Shi frowned: "Why did he personally send it over......"
After finishing the remaining few Buddhist scriptures, Feng Shi smiled and said to Jin Chao: "Seeing that a few days have passed, I don't know if you are in charge of Xu in Qingpu." It just so happens that he came over today, so it's better to let Qingpu go and have a look again, and if he can, he will settle the matter. ”
Feng Shi said, only to find that the green pu behind Gu Jinchao was gone.
She asked with some confusion: "Wasn't Qingpu still there just now, why is it missing now......
Gu Jinchao hurriedly said: "Xu is in a hurry to go out first, grandmother don't care about her, you can tell us another volume of the Diamond Sutra!" ”
Gu Lan glanced at Gu Jinchao, she felt that Gu Jinchao was too impatient in this matter, Qingpu went out, what was she doing in a hurry to cover up for Qingpu? Could it be ...... Who did Qingpu secretly go out to see, to see Xu Houcai?
Gu Lan smiled: "I heard that Steward Xu is here, Miss Qingpu is gone, maybe she went to meet someone by herself!" Grandmother, why don't we go and see the fun. The eldest sister has never agreed, maybe people will fall in love with each other! ”
Gu Lian also pouted when she heard this: "Let's go out and have a look, just take a breath!" "Listening to the Buddhist scriptures, she was really dizzy.
Gu Jinchao looked embarrassed, and paused for a moment before saying, "I asked Qingpu to get dim sum...... She...... She'll be back in a moment. ”
Gu Lan became even more determined when he heard this, "The eldest sister just said that people are in a hurry, and now she says that people are going to get snacks." I think the eldest sister deliberately didn't let us go to see ......" She took Feng's hand and smiled, "Grandmother, we can't let the eldest sister get her wish!" ”
Feng Shi smiled: "Jin Chao, you too, the girl is a person by herself, what are you embarrassed about." ”
Let Sister Lan and Sister Lian'er get up and go outside for a walk. Gu Jinchao had no choice but to follow him out of the door.
Feng Shi beckoned the little girl and asked, and knew that Xu Hou had only gone to the back room. took Gu Jinchao and the three of them, and the girl went to the back cover room, there was no girl in the back cover room at this time, Feng Shi looked around and didn't see Xu Houcai, and was about to open his mouth to call someone, when he heard a woman's voice from the small bush next to the back cover room: "You ...... What are you going to do here...... Let go! ”
Feng Shi felt that something was wrong when he heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, and he took the girl and the woman to step forward a few steps. The mother-in-law immediately pushed aside the bushes, and saw that Xu Houcai was pulling a girl's hand inside, and shouted anxiously in her mouth: "Cheap mother-in-law, I don't recognize anyone at this time!" You're so foolish when you're Lao Tzu! ”
The person he was pulling was not Qingpu, but rosin!
Feng Shi said sharply: "Xu Houcai, you are so bold, you dare to flirt with a girl in the East Cross Courtyard!" ”
Only then did the two of them see the people standing outside the bushes, and they didn't care about struggling and scuffling, so they hurriedly let go of their hands.
Feng Shi shouted again: "There are no rules, what are you doing in a daze, come out and kneel for me!" Make it clear what's going on! ”
These two people actually pulled and pulled in the East Cross Courtyard, or in front of so many people, Feng felt that she had lost her face, if Xu Houcai was just teasing the girl, it would be fine, if these two people taught each other privately, where would her old face go!
The girl who came with her didn't dare to say anything. Gu Lian and Gu Lan were also very surprised, they originally wanted to come to see Qingpu, but how did they become rosin when they met Xu Houcai privately?
The two of them knelt on the ground, hanging their heads and not speaking, Feng Shi stared at Xu Houcai coldly, his voice softened, and asked Rosin Xiang first: "Tell me, what is going on?" ”
Rosin Xiang hurriedly kowtowed and cried: "Mrs. Hui, it's all Xu Houcai's pickled things!" The slave and maid are on a shift today, and he entered the back cover room, so he had to pull the slave and the maid to hide in the bushes, saying that he wanted to talk to the slave and maid, and he pulled and pulled his hands and feet! I just want to take advantage of the slaves! ”
Xu Houcai couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and retorted loudly: "You ghost woman! Obviously, you asked me to come, saying that you like me. Otherwise, how could I run to the East Cross Courtyard to tease you, I wouldn't be afraid of being beaten by the nursing home! ”
Feng Shi snorted coldly: "I haven't let you speak yet, shut up for me!" ”
Xu Houcai hurriedly kowtowed again, took out a sweat towel from his arms and handed it to Feng: "Mrs. Tai, look at it, this is what Rosin Xiang's mother-in-law gave me, saying that she likes me, you can see if it is, and don't wronged me in vain!" (To be continued)
