Chapter 191: The Covenant of the Restaurant
Xia didn't have the heart to watch the two sisters quarrel, so he waved his hand and sent them away first, and went to the old lady to discuss countermeasures.
Chu Peijin just wanted to confirm with Jing Yan whether this matter was really related to her, so she happily returned to Qinglan Courtyard.
"Can you deliver a message to the four princes? He said I wanted to meet him. Chu Peijin looked at Nian Xue, thought about it and said, "Go to the Drunken Immortal Building, just say I'll wait for him there!" ”
Nian Xue nodded in response, and then hesitated again before saying, "Girl, didn't you promise the old lady not to go out for a few days?" ”
It was really that the assassination that day was too ferocious, which made Nian Xue's heart palpitate. It's broad daylight, but who knows if the bandits will go crazy and ignore it? It's fine if it's okay, but what if something happens?
Chu Peijin paused, and then said, "It's okay to just go out for a while." However, my grandmother really needed a statement that would make it happen! Let's send a message to the four princes first! ”
Nian Xue saw that she insisted on leaving the house, so she persuaded her to persuade her, so she had to send the news to the fourth prince Jing Yan.
Here, Chu Peijin wrote a post for Yuxi to send out, and then she took Cuizhu and Cuiping to the old lady.
"Jin girl is here, come and sit!"
Since playing with the pair of fitness beads, the old lady feels that her spirit is much better than before, and she always looks kind every time she sees Chu Peijin.
Chu Peijin greeted the old lady in an orderly manner, and then sat down on the chair next to her.
"Grandmother, are you feeling better during this time?"
Over there, Mama Qin personally brought hot tea to Chu Peijin and put it on the small table beside her, with a very respectful face.
Chu Peijin's eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced at Mama Qin, and then picked up the tea and took a sip slowly.
The old lady looked at her with a smile and said, "It's much better than before." How have you learned with your mother in the past two days? ”
Chu Peijin's face was slightly embarrassed, and she put the cup in her hand back on the small table and said a little uncomfortably: "Grandmother, there are so many and complicated things in charge of the family, and the granddaughter can't remember so many ......."
The old lady looked at her little appearance with a clear expression, and she couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's so embarrassing about this? When my grandmother was a little girl, she was just learning to be in charge of the house, and she was as clueless as you. Don't rush, just take your time! ”
"What my grandmother said is that my granddaughter will definitely work hard!" Chu Peijin hurriedly made a statement.
Mama Qin also said with a smile on the side: "Old lady, the eldest girl is smart and studious, as long as the eldest lady teaches her best, how can there be any reason why she can't learn?" ”
The old lady glanced at her, the smile on her face paused slightly, and said for a while: "The ability of the Xia family to be in charge of the family is obvious to all, as long as Jin Yatou is attentive, she will naturally be able to learn." ”
Mama Qin knew that what Fang Cai said was a little wrong, and her face was also scornful, hearing the old lady say this, she hurriedly bowed down and said: "What the old lady said is very true, when it comes to the housekeeper's ability, the eldest lady is naturally extremely powerful, as long as the eldest girl works hard, there will naturally be no problem." ”
Chu Peijin also knew that Mama Qin was deliberately pleasing herself, so she nodded hurriedly and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, granddaughter will definitely work hard, and she will not lose your old man's face!" ”
Seeing her flattering appearance, the old lady couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay!" Isn't it just a matter of sesame mung beans, so nervous about what to do! ”
Chu Peijin smiled and said, "Grandmother, I'm not nervous, I really don't have ...... However, grandmother, granddaughter has something to ask you. ”
The old lady raised her eyebrows lightly and asked with a pleasant face, "What's the matter?" Say, if your grandmother thinks it's feasible, she won't embarrass you. ”
Chu Peijin smiled, her eyes were almost bent into a crescent moon, and she looked quite happy.
She said: "Sister Jinglan invited me to play at their house before, but my granddaughter has never had the opportunity to go, so I thought that I was free today, so I wanted to go and see her." Coupled with the charcoal matter, the granddaughter also wanted to ask them what was going on, so ......"
At the mention of charcoal, the old lady's smile narrowed slightly, and her brows involuntarily furrowed.
"It's natural to be able to befriend Madam Luo's grandmother, but you only met an assassin a few days ago, and your grandmother is worried about your safety......"
Chu Peijin was overjoyed when she heard this, and it seemed that the old lady agreed to let her go out. Therefore, he hurriedly said: "Grandmother, don't worry, our house is not far from the Hussar General's Mansion, and besides, my granddaughter will definitely bring more guards when I go out today, so naturally there will be no more mistakes." ”
The old lady pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay!" Go ahead, pay more attention on the way, go early and come back early! ”
Chu Peijin stood up with a happy face and saluted the old lady, and then went out happily.
The mother-in-law on the second door saw that Chu Peijin was dressed up and was about to go out with a ring, and immediately stopped her.
"Big girl, Madame said, it's too chaotic outside these days, so the girls can't go out at home."
Chu Peijin's face sank, and said, "Get out of the way!" This girl has asked my grandmother, and she promised me that I could go out today! ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, her face was a little hesitant, but her body involuntarily gave way to the side, and said in her mouth: "Big girl, don't fool the old slave, in case the eldest lady asks, the old slave will reply as you say......"
Chu Peijin glared at her, "Long-winded! After speaking, he strode out of the second gate with Nian Xue, Nian Bing and Cuizhi and went straight out of the carriage.
The woman saw that she couldn't see anyone from a distance, so she hurriedly asked someone to guard at the second gate and go to talk back to Xia.
said that after Chu Peijin left the house, he asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the Zuixian Building first, and then ordered the coachman and four guards to guard downstairs, and he took the maid upstairs.
Cuizhi only knew that her girl was going to Ouyang Girl's house, but now she ran to the Drunken Immortal Building, so she looked uncertain: "Girl, what are we doing here?" Isn't it supposed to go to the Hussar General's Palace? ”
Chu Peijin paused as she went upstairs, thinking that it was not suitable for Cuizhi to know about Jing Yan's existence, so she turned her head and instructed her: "You go to the shopkeeper, let him make a few good pastries, and take them back to see Miss Ouyang." ”
Cuizhi was stunned and asked puzzledly, "Girl, didn't we already prepare gifts before we went out?" ”
For this, she didn't suffer from the cold eyes of Mama Hu who was in charge of the small warehouse.
Chu Peijin choked, and then remembered that going to the Hussar General's Mansion like her was already an official visit, and the mansion would prepare corresponding gifts for her to bring, so as not to appear that Wu'an Houfu did not understand etiquette.
However, soon Chu Peijin had another explanation.
"Miss Ouyang doesn't go out of the house often, and these outside foods are naturally the best gift for her. Besides, I heard your girl say that she likes to eat pastries here! ”
How would Cuizhi know what Chu Peijin and Ouyang Jinglan had talked about, so after hearing this, she didn't doubt that she was going to do something, Chu Peijin left Nian Bing to guard downstairs, and then took Nian Xue upstairs.
