Chapter 170: Bargaining
"Girl, Your Highness, the slaves and maids are back!"
Chu Peijin hurriedly pulled Jingyan and motioned for him to let Nian Xue in and listen to what she had to say.
Jing Yan was in a good mood because of Chu Peijin's words, he sat down and gently pinched her nose, and whispered: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, go back first!" ”
Chu Peijin knew that he had some other thoughts, so he had to nod and say, "That's it, it's okay!" ”
Because Jing Yan was there, Nian Xue and Nian Bing were driven outside the carriage, and poor Wang Shun was in a coma there all the time, so he was pulled back to the outside of Wu'an Houfu.
Jing Yan looked at Chu Peijin with some reluctance and said, "You go back first, and then I'll go over and talk to you in detail when I sort out the matter, okay?" ”
Chu Peijin glared at him, "I said that I would come back and talk about it, but when I came back, you shirked it again." Isn't this really tricky? "Sensitive as her, how could she not notice Jing Yan's cautious expression when facing this matter? He's afraid he doesn't want her to come in, right?
"Well, don't think about it. If you really want to know whether I will hide it from you, it's just that this matter is very complicated, and I'm afraid I can't make it clear to you for a while, so ...... Wait patiently for two days, okay? Jing Yan was always reluctant to let Chu Peijin have a little misunderstanding about him, so looking at her eyes attentively and affectionately, he believed that his little woman would definitely understand him!
Chu Peijin knew that what he said was not wrong, so he didn't get entangled, and only said: "Let people notify me as soon as there is any news." By the way, be careful in everything and don't be reckless! ”
Jing Yan happily reached out and rubbed her little face, "Are you caring about me?" ”
Chu Peijin glanced at him: "How is it possible?" I just care about how things go......"
Looking at her inappropriate appearance, Jing Yan chuckled lightly and glanced at her a few more times before turning around and leaving quietly.
For the first time, Chu Peijin found that it was a very happy thing to be with someone who liked her and didn't hate her, and she was faintly full of expectations for the future of her and Jing Yan in her heart!
It's just that her good mood seems to be ruined, no, as soon as she entered the mansion, she was directly taken to the Nishang Courtyard by the Xia family.
Xia's face was very unpleasant, and when she saw Chu Peijin, she tried her best to endure it and didn't get angry immediately, but her dark and dull face as if it was going to rain let people know that she was in a very bad mood!
"I've seen my mother."
Chu Peijin was in a good mood, and when she saw Xia, she obediently blessed her.
Xia Shi put the cup in his hand on the table heavily, and said unhappily: "Do you still know to come back?" ”
Chu Peijin looked up at the window, the sun was hanging high in the sky, although it was winter and there was not much temperature, it still made people feel warm inexplicably.
"Huh? It's still early......"
For Chu Peijin's careless attitude in the face of her, the Xia family has always been very disgusted, so the phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and snorted coldly: "It's still early?" ”
Chu Peijin blinked a pair of big eyes and looked at Xia innocently, stretched out his finger and pointed out the window: "The sun is still high......
Xia's face turned dark, and he slapped the table with a heavy slap, shaking the teacup on the table and making a clangling sound a few times, but fortunately it didn't fall over, just a little tea splashed out and wet the corner of the table.
"Chu Peijin, you are so presumptuous! Do you still want to go into the ancestral hall and kneel? ”
"Why did my mother scare me with that? It's not like I didn't kneel a few days ago......," Chu Peijin muttered disapplausively.
Xia Shi was so angry that he stretched out a finger and pointed at her: "You...... What is your attitude? Mama Hu, take her to the ancestral hall and kneel, immediately! Right away!!! ”
Mama Hu looked at the tense atmosphere between the two mothers and daughters with some helplessness, and couldn't help but persuade: "Madam, the eldest girl just returned home, and she hasn't seen the old lady yet......"
Xia's heart was strained, he wanted to insist on sending it to the ancestral hall, and he thought of going to explain it to the old lady, and his heart couldn't help but be a little blocked. Recently, the old lady's attitude towards Chu Peijin is like two people before, which makes her have to be a little skeptical about this.
It's just that...... This girl is now becoming more and more arrogant with the favor of the old lady, if she doesn't suppress her arrogance again, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to handle in the future!
Xia Shi pinched the handkerchief in his hand to suppress the unwillingness in his heart, and still said with a cold face: "Since Mama Hu intercedes for you, then temporarily exempt you from the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall, but it is unfilial for you to leave the house without your mother's consent, and you will be punished for embroidering a birthday picture within a month!" ”
Chu Peijin's eyes widened, "Mother, why do you want to embroider a birthday picture?" Why don't you punish your daughter for copying Buddhist scriptures? I'm familiar with this ......."
The corners of Mama Hu's mouth twitched, and she quietly raised her eyes to see Xia's face, and it was really dark and gloomy!
"Big girl, Madame is doing this for your good, don't bargain with Madame anymore......" Speaking of this, Mama Hu immediately realized that she seemed to be wrong, and hurriedly said: "In another month is the birthday of the Queen Mother, Madame asked you to embroider a birthday picture for the Queen Mother and her old man, girl, you should go down!" Mama Hu persuaded bitterly, for fear that Chu Peijin would not be able to pull back the nine cows.
"But I'm better at copying Buddhist scriptures?"
Chu Peijin really doesn't want to embroider, she has never taken a needle since she wore it, let alone she hasn't even touched it in her previous life!
Instead of embroidering, it's really better to write, picture a car or something......
She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and painted!!
Xia was about to punish Chu Peijin severely because of his disregard for his orders, but before he could speak, he heard Chu Peijin say: "Mother, why don't you punish me for painting?" I promise that I will hand over a satisfactory birthday picture when the time comes, okay? ”
Xia pursed his lips tightly, and his heavy gaze swept over Chu Peijin's bright little face. This girl has really grown day by day since she got better, and her eyebrows have become more and more delicate and charming. She didn't know if others had discovered it, but she had seen something that had been overlooked......
"Madam, you see, why don't you let the eldest girl paint?" Since the last time she saw the beautiful fonts written by Chu Peijin, Mama Hu was convinced of what the eldest girl said, although she had never seen the eldest girl draw, but this did not prevent the eldest girl from drawing the fact that it was possible!
Xia actually has the same idea as Mama Hu in her heart, the daughter she raised by herself is now unfamiliar, so she doesn't dare to put her previous experience on her, she can always surprise her, yes, now when I hear her say that she wants to paint Xia's face can also be calm and calm!
"In that case, you can draw it, if you can't draw it......"
"I'm going to kneel in the ancestral hall!" Chu Peijin immediately spoke.
The corners of Xia's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand to send her out.
This daughter is really, out of sight, out of mind!
