Chapter 3: The Deceased (1)
As soon as the man who called Master Xia stood up, five or six strong men in brocade clothes beside him also stood up, and for a while, the momentum was overwhelming.
Xia Ruixi glanced at the man quietly, and saw that the man was dressed in an extremely ordinary green cloth spring robe, but he had a jade crown tied on his head, a jade belt tied around his waist, and the boots under his feet were also extremely exquisitely made. Such a contradictory dress has never given people a sense of nondescriptry, but feels extremely coordinated, and the reason is only because he is as rich as jade and radiant. That is to say, someone else is a man with clothes, but he is a man with clothes. He found that Xia Ruixi was looking at him, and hooked the corners of his lips at her without a trace, his eyes were gentle and focused, as if she was his long-lost lover.
Master Xia snorted heavily beside him, which showed that he was extremely displeased. Xia Ruixi was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his eyes, looked at his nose and looked at his heart. But it was strange in my heart, this person seemed to know her, no, it should be said that she knew the original body. She had a faint conjecture, but there was no place to confirm it, so she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Wan'er, only to see that Wan'er's expression was quite unnatural, and she understood most of it in her heart, this must be Zhao Mingtao, the eldest son of King Shou, and became more and more cautious between actions, just afraid of causing misunderstanding among others.
Xia Ruibei was young and rarely went out, so naturally she had never seen such a man, so she couldn't help but be interested, and asked strangely and softly, "Who is this person?" ”
Master Xia changed color and reprimanded in a low voice: "There are no rules! What to ask? Don't want to get in yet? ”
Xia Ruixi turned around and walked into the compartment without thinking, Xia Ruibei was a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to ask more, and lowered her head and followed Xia Ruixi into the compartment.
When Master Xia saw his daughter enter the cubicle, he smiled lightly and walked over to Zhao Mingtao and hugged his fists, "Lord Shizi, I never thought that I would see a noble person in this wilderness. ”
Zhao Mingtao smiled lightly and replied: "I happened to pass by here for something, and I heard that this family's wine is very mellow, and the dishes are also very natural, so I will give it a try." "Very kindly invite Master Xia to sit down and talk. Master Xia sat down unceremoniously, and ordered Xia Jin to settle the accounts of this group of people, Zhao Mingtao did not refuse, smiled and thanked him, and chatted with Master Xia.
In the cubicle, Xia Ruibei looked at the square table bench that was dark and swarthy, and could no longer see its original color, and frowned: "How can this sit well?" ”
Yan'er and Wan'er quickly took the brocade mat and put it on to the two masters, took out a white muslin to cover the table, and said with a smile: "Miss, please take a seat." ”
Wan'er turned back to Chun'er and a second-class girl named Fang'er and said, "See, next time the masters want to sit, you two have to lay out the mat in advance." ”
Fang'er was specially bought by Mrs. Xia for Xia Ruibei after Hong'er's death, and there was also a letter with her. In order to show that she is average to her two daughters, Mrs. Xia deliberately promoted Xia Ruibei's two girls to be second-class girls. Just because Liang'er was beaten by that beating, although she had recovered, it was still a little inconvenient to walk, so Mrs. Xia made the decision to let Liang'er and Xin'er stay at home together, and only let Yan'er and Wan'er be two first-class girls, and Chun'er and Fang'er two second-class girls to serve Xia Ruixi sisters. In this way, Xia Ruibei couldn't find any gossip.
Although Fang'er's complexion is a little dark, she has a pair of beautiful big eyes, long, dense and curly eyelashes, like two small brushes, her facial features are also thoughtful, and her mouth is extremely sweet. She was not as domineering as the dead Hong'er, she only wanted to please others in all aspects, and immediately smiled and went up to pick up the towel cloth in Yan'er's hand to wipe the dishes and chopsticks: "Sister Yan'er, I'll come, you can guide me next to me." ”
Yan'er shook her head, and kept wiping the dishes and chopsticks in her hands: "No need, you can watch what I do this time, and next time, there is still a long way to go." ”
Chun'er had already wiped Xia Ruixi and Master Xia's dishes and chopsticks, and Wan'er supervised on the side, let her wipe them three times, and asked the store to send a pot of hot water to scald all the dishes and chopsticks.
Xia Ruibei was bored, and when she saw Wan'er walking in, she instructed the other servants to do things, handed the tea and tea set she brought to the master for a while, and arranged for the store to wash the dishes for a while, and she was very busy, so she said sourly: "The two girls of the second sister are really capable, and they will compare my two girls to the bottom at once." Fortunately, Liang'er is still a little weak and can't go far, otherwise, your three girls are enough to serve our three masters, Yan'er and Fang'er are useless. ”
Fang'er heard Xia Ruibei say this, and was a little aggrieved, but Yan'er didn't seem to hear it, and lowered her head to do her own thing. Xia Ruibei glanced at Yan'er: "Look, I'll just say it, Yan'er is like a living dead, she won't cry out in pain if you poke her." ”
Xia Ruixi knows Wan'er's temper very well, she wants to show it and overshadow all the girls, but she is also thoughtful and enjoys it. It's just that Xia Ruibei's words are easy to cause conflicts between the girls, and she smiled lightly at the moment, "It's good for me to look at Yan'er and Fang'er." I really like Yan'er's gentle and quiet temperament. ”
Xia Ruibei's eyes rolled: "You like Yan'er, so why don't we change it." How about letting Wan'er follow me, and Yan'er following you? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were different. When Yan'er heard this, her body was shocked, and her eyes faintly showed some joy, and she quickly covered it, and stood aside with her head hanging and did not speak.
Wan'er opened her mouth, her face turned white, her whole body stiffened when she stood next to her, she couldn't speak, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She knew that Xia Ruixi didn't like her, so she worked hard and paid attention to performance, but she didn't think that her diligence would lead to disaster. No matter how powerful Xia Ruixi is, no matter how much she doesn't like her, she is better than the third lady to treat her better. Besides, if the third lady can't escape and marry into the Sun family in the future, it will be the life of a widow, what will she do? Isn't there no hope for the future? She didn't dare to open her mouth and it was inconvenient to beg Xia Ruixi, so she could only look at Xia Ruixi pitifully.
Xia Ruixi cleared his throat: "Although Yan'er is good, Wan'er has followed me for many years, and I am used to her serving." She didn't like Wan'er, she was thinking that she would send Wan'er away sooner or later, but she couldn't change it if Xia Ruibei wanted to. Xia Ruibei, this girl is used to kicking her nose and face, and if she gives her three colors, she will open a dyeing shop, so naturally she can't agree to her.
Xia Ruibei snorted coldly: "Duplicity." Yan'er is so good, would you want to change? ”
Xia Ruixi was speechless, she didn't know what Xia Ruibei was in her head. The personal girl is a good assistant by the side of the young lady, another pair of eyes and another pair of hands of the young lady, but she always beats and belittles her personal girl in front of others, and she doesn't know how to buy people's hearts. A shrewd and capable person like Master Xia and Mrs. Xia didn't know how to give birth to such a daughter. Since she occupies someone else's body, Xia Ruixi decided to do her duty and find an opportunity to discipline Xia Ruibei well, as for whether she is willing to listen or not, it is her business.
Not long after, the food ordered by the Xia family came up, and the people outside also finished eating and left, and Master Xia came in to eat with his daughter.
Xia Ruibei ******** to inquire about Zhao Mingtao, so she first praised the dishes in this store for being natural and original, and then asked Master Xia: "Daddy, who was that person just now?" Dressed so strangely. Since he was wearing ordinary cloth clothes, it can be seen that he wanted to show that he was very ordinary, very ordinary, very low-key, and did not want to attract the attention of others. Partial birth but with a jade crown, a jade belt, and so many servants in gorgeous clothes to follow, it is difficult for people not to pay attention to him, what does this mean? ”
What she said was to the point, Xia Ruixi had thought that Ming Gongzi's dress was a bit like that. The corners of Old Man Xia's mouth twitched, and he said seriously: "This is a nobleman." He is honest and low-key by nature, and what he loves most is to interact with ordinary people in the market, and he is not luxurious, so he naturally wears ordinary cloth clothes. As for his jade crown and jade belt, as well as the people who follow him, it is due to his status and status, and for the sake of the dignity and rules of the nobles, he naturally has to pay attention to it. ”
"Cut! Isn't that pretending? If he is really not luxurious, honest and low-key, he should not bring the jade crown and jade belt, the people around him can follow, but they don't have to dress so luxuriously. Could it be that if you don't bring a jade crown and a jade belt, your status will be lowered? Since he cares so much about his status, he shouldn't interact with the people in the market. It's not pretending to be presentable, like that? If you want to cover it up, right? Xia Ruibei popped out a long list of particularly intelligent words.
Xia Ruixi heard it funny, and deliberately echoed it, to show that he was not uncommon to this nobleman, and he had long forgotten the past. Master Xia glanced at her, and reprimanded Xia Ruibei in a low manner: "Nonsense! Is it up to you to talk about the affairs of a noble woman? Beware of the misfortune that comes out of the mouth! ”
Xia Ruibei saw that although Master Xia was scolding her, her eyes showed a happy look, and she couldn't help but become more and more lawless, sandwiched a chopstick beef in Master Xia's bowl, and smiled: "My daughter didn't say anything wrong, and she didn't say it in front of outsiders." Just follow my father's orders, and never say it again. ”
Master Xia shook his head and nodded her nose dotingly: "You girl, when can you not let me worry about it?" ”
didn't wait for the meal to finish, Xia Ruixi suddenly had a cramping pain in her abdomen, so she quietly asked Wan'er to find the toilet. Wan'er went out to ask for a while, and came back and said, "Yes, on the other side of the willow forest, it's just too dirty." ”
People have three urgencies, but Xia Ruixi couldn't care about it, and asked Xia Ruibei if she was going. Xia Ruibei frowned and said, "Don't go!" Don't go! This place to eat is so dirty, I can't even get my feet down when I want to come to that place, and I'm afraid that the smell alone will smoke people to death. ”
Xia Ruixi smiled, in her previous life, when she went on a long-distance trip, the dirty toilet didn't know how to go, no matter how dirty it was, she had to solve the physiological problem, and she couldn't solve it in the open air, right? said to Master Xia: "My daughter will go back when she goes." ”
Master Xia thought that this toilet was nearby, and there were two girls following, surrounded by his own slaves, there should be nothing to do, so he waved his hand carelessly: "Go and go back quickly!" It's inconvenient to go out, be careful when eating, and don't spoil your stomach. ”
Xia Ruibei was stunned and laughed out loud.
Xia Ruixi blushed and said nonchalantly: "Dad, what did you say?" "Based on the habits developed in previous lives, detoxification is the number one priority. So her life has always been very regular, and the first thing in the morning is to solve the detox. She is going out today, and she is fully prepared, who knows if people are still not as good as the sky, why does it suddenly hurt in this stomach? She didn't eat anything unclean, huh?
