Old lady Xuan Pinghou pointed at Xia Qi and smiled: "That's not your brother?" ”

Xia Jin said goodbye to Cen Ziman, jumped out of the car, waved his hand, and walked towards Xia Qi: "I'll go back with my brother, you don't have to send it." ”

Xia Qi obviously also knew what was going on in Luo's mansion. Seeing his sister jumping off the Cen family's carriage with a smile on her face and a look of no sorrow, the heart he had been carrying finally let go. walked over to Xia Jin, and thanked Mrs. Xuanping Hou.

Old lady Xuanping waved her hand: "Okay, since you don't let me send it, I won't nag anymore." Then he turned and ordered his men to hire a carriage.

Luo Qian looked at Xia Jin and everyone quietly, and there was no superfluous expression on his face; And until Xia Jin followed Xia Qi into the car, he didn't say a word.

"Are you alright?" Xia Qi asked Xia Jin in a low voice in the car.

"It's fine." Xia Jin shook his head.

Xia Qi stared at her and didn't speak for a long time.

Xia Jin just sighed that she has parents and her brother's love in this life, and it feels good that her brother can think about her at a critical moment. It can be seen that Xia Qi looked at her like this, she felt uncomfortable, touched her face and asked with a smile, "Why do you look at me like this?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”

Xia Qi didn't speak, only turned his face and faced the front of the car. After a while, he turned his face around again and said softly, "Third Master Luo asked me to bring you a word." ”

Xia Jin's heart jumped: "What words?" It's not that she's not calm, it's really Xia Qi's appearance that makes her feel furious.

Xia Qi stared at Xia Jin's eyes and said slowly: "He asked me to tell you: what he said, leave everything to him." ”

Xia Jin was stunned for a moment, and didn't realize what Luo Qian's words meant for a while.

He had told her not to worry about it. Luo Yu's affairs will be handled by him. But he deliberately asked Xia Qi to bring these words to her, and she felt that he was referring not only to Luo Yu, but also to her. She can still understand the voiceover of his words, which contains the meaning of "leave all the wind and rain to me, and I will cover it for you".

But today's thing. Does it have anything to do with her?

"You were in the house just now. What the hell is going on? She asked, adding, "Tell me what you see and hear." ”

Xia Qi was about to open his mouth. Xia Jin suddenly remembered that the coachman sitting in front of the carriage was not Lu Liang of the Xia family, and quickly stopped Xia Qi and said, "This is not the place to talk, I'll talk about it when I go home later." ”

Xia Qi saw that he would be home soon, so he shut up.

Shu Shi saw that Xia Jin had just gone out with Cen Ziman. In a blink of an eye, he came home again, and he was very surprised: "Why did you come back again?" ”

"The banquet is broken up over there." Xia Jin said.

Shu Shi was stunned: "It's gone?" Didn't you say you were going to have dinner? ”

"I guessed wrong. People don't eat dinner at this kind of banquet. Xia Jin was reluctant to let Shu know about these things. She was worried that Shu's family would find out, and she felt that the eunuchs were too chaotic and didn't let her associate with Cen Ziman, Luo Qian and others.

Not only did Shu Shi never attend a banquet, but he had never even heard of what a banquet was like for an official eunuch. Listen to what Xia Jin said. He believed it and said, "I'll tell the kitchen to prepare more dishes." With that, he got up and went to the kitchen.

Xia Jin sent all his subordinates out, and then said to Xia Qi: "You can say it." ”

Xia Qi recalled carefully. "At the beginning, everyone was there. The three brothers of the Luo family behaved quite harmoniously, Lin Gongzi asked Luo Qian to drink, Luo Yu also said that the third brother was not in good health, so he drank a small glass on his behalf, Luo Chen also smiled and whispered a few words to Luo Qian.

When we played the pot throwing game, Luo Yu didn't know where he went; Luo Qian played a round with us, and disappeared quietly; Among the three brothers, Luo Chen's temperament is the most introverted, and he doesn't talk to people much during the two times they play together, and he is always with Zhu Youcheng, the eldest son of the Zhu Governor's family. They were drinking next to us when we threw the pot, and when I looked back later, I found that he and Zhu Youcheng were also gone. ”

Xia Jin frowned, searching for the information in her mind: "Zhu Youcheng, Zhu Xinlan's brother, the gentleman who used to flirt with women on the street?" ”

Xia Qi nodded: "That's right, it's him." ”

In order to avoid inadvertently offending people, before the last time the brother and sister participated in the Xuanping Houfu banquet, they learned about the children of the official eunuchs in Linjiang City through various channels.

Among these people, the children of the Zhu Governor's family are the least successful. Zhu Youcheng, the eldest son of Zhu, is extremely lustful and does not know how to hide it. Two years ago, he was molesting a beautiful married woman on the street, causing them to almost hit a wall and die. The other party's husband went to the yamen to complain to Zhu Zhifu about his son, which caused a great sensation in Linjiang City.

Xia Jin's eyes turned cold, and she vaguely guessed Luo Yu's plan.

Luo Yu calculated that the Xia family failed twice, and this was to use the Luo Mansion banquet to calculate the Xia family again. Zhu Youcheng, a womanizer, couldn't be more suitable to use him to molest her, a civilian woman with no status and no status. When the time comes, Zhu Youcheng will only pretend to be drunk, and then take on the responsibility of taking her as a concubine, and no one will accuse him of anything; But she had no other way to go except to enter the Zhu Mansion and become Zhu Youcheng's concubine.

And she became the concubine of Zhufu, even if Xia Qi went far on the road of the imperial examination in the future, no matter how big the official was, the Xia family would not be able to raise their heads.

Luo Yu, what a vicious mind! Only let him marry Li Yuyuan, it's too cheap for him.

She said expressionlessly, "What happened later, you continue." ”

Xia Qi keenly felt that the air pressure on his sister's body suddenly decreased, but he, who rarely touched the dark side, did not connect Xia Jin with what happened in Luofu at all, so he didn't understand why Xia Jin suddenly became angry.

At this time, Xia Jin couldn't be provoked, he didn't dare to ask a word, stared, and continued: "After they left for a meal, someone from Bai Tongju's family came over, saying that Master Bai was unwell and wanted to go home, and asked Bai Gongzi to wait for him to go back; Immediately afterwards, Lin Yun's family also sent someone to call him. Lin Yun wanted to ask me to go with her, but Mrs. Xuanping sent someone to let me meet her. When I entered the front hall, there was only Mrs. Xuan Pinghou alone in the hall. I asked her where you went, and she said that you and Miss Cen went home to change clothes, so I should not worry, and told me to sit on the side and not go anywhere.

Later, Mrs. Luo came in, and Mrs. Xuanping Hou went to the side hall to talk for a while, and when she came out, Mrs. Xuanping waited for the old lady with a full face, and Mrs. Luo apologized again and again. After half a cup of tea, Luo Qian also came, saying that you had come back and were waiting in the carriage outside. So I followed them to the door. ”

Knowing what happened, Xia Jin stood up and admonished: "Don't tell your father and mother about this, lest they worry." ”

Xia Qi nodded.

Xia Jin is not a personality who is willing to suffer dumb losses, even if because of her caution, Luo Yu did not calculate her, Luo Yu's actions still completely annoyed her. But all this is her speculation after all, and before taking revenge on Luo Yu, she has to investigate and confirm it.

After dinner that day, when it was completely dark, Xia Qi changed into night clothes and jumped onto the wall.

"Scare...... She was almost startled when she saw a person sitting on the roof of her house's vestibule. After looking closely, he realized that the person was Su Muxian.

She suddenly got angry, walked over and kicked him.

Su Muxian didn't know what he was thinking, he was thinking about it. was kicked by her and almost cried out.

Xia Jin hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and said through gritted teeth in a low voice: "If you dare to shout, I will throw you down." ”

"Hmm......" Su Muxian shook his head desperately.

Xia Jin let him go, ignored him, turned around and ran into the distance, until he ran to the place where he spoke last time, he stopped, turned around and asked Su Muxian: "I said, what are you doing on the roof of my house all day?" Are you a voyeur? ”

"No, I didn't." Su Muxian's face turned red, "I came last time and tonight, and I haven't been here before." And I went to the roof of the front hall to wait for you, and the backyard has never been there. ”

Xia Jin also knew that Su Muxian was telling the truth.

If he had reached the roof of the backyard, she would never have been unaware.

However, she still didn't give Su Mu a good face, frowned and asked, "Why are you coming to me again?" ”

"I ......" Su Muxian said a word, then paused, blushing and speechless for a long time.

"If you don't say it, I'll go." Xia Jin couldn't see him like this.

"Hey, don't go, I said I'll say." Su Muxian grabbed Xia Jin.

Xia Jin looked at his hand: "Let go." ”

Su Muxian didn't let go this time, anyway, he grabbed her arm tighter: "I want to marry you." ”

"I said you're not sick, right? I've told you this question twice, so why can't you make sense? Next time, can you change your line? "Xia Jin is about to go berserk.

"Today in Luofu, Master Luo just hugged Miss Li, and everyone forced the two to get married." Although Su Muxian's face was very red, his words slipped smoothly, "We, we're all like that, if you don't marry me, who else can you marry?" ”

Xia Jin calmed down, ignored his next few words, and asked, "Do you know today's incident?" ”

Su Muxian nodded: "I have the tip of my ear, I heard everything they said." ”

It didn't take much effort to get it, and Xia Jin came out to inquire about it. Now that Su Muxian knew, she didn't have to bother.

She patted Su Muxian on the shoulder: "You let go of your hand, let's find a place to sit down, and you can tell me about today's events." ”

Seeing that Xia Jin had no intention of running away, Su Mu obediently let go and followed Xia Jin to the side of the road and sat down.

"Tell me everything you know." Xia Jin said.

Su Muxian and Xia Jin, although they have different backgrounds, each has a secret, one is simple and the other is serious, but the two are the most similar kind of people, that is, they are not bound by secular etiquette at all, and they belong to the kind of people who can do whatever they want and go straight to the topic.

So the two get along, there is no red tape at all, and they speak straightforwardly and are extremely honest.

Su Muxian didn't treat Xia Jin as a woman, didn't think about what to say to her and what not to say, and told him what he knew. (To be continued)
