Chapter 18 The Broken String~
The Xu family warmly received Zhao Qingxuan and his party.
During this period, Xu Xian has always had a gloomy face, and repeatedly tried to rip off the eldest lady's clothes, to bathe her in person, and called it "checking the body". The eldest lady struggled desperately, but finally kept her last innocence and won the opportunity to take a bath alone.
The eldest lady was led to bathe by her subordinates, Xu Xian was still not at ease, and followed step by step, swearing that she was only guarding the door and would never go in to see.
Jiang Nannan watched the two of them toss back and forth expressionlessly.
Since the eldest lady touched Xu Xian's two fake breasts on the street, and now Xu Xian kept saying that she wanted to guard the eldest lady to take a bath, Jiang Nannan felt that she would not be surprised if there was any shocking interaction between these two people.
Xu Zhaoguang was very enthusiastic about Zhao Qingxuan, and walked towards him in the direction of the "Yingyun Garden", which specializes in receiving distinguished guests.
At first, Jiang Nannan followed Zhao Qingxuan in a daze, until Xu Zhaoguang said: "My father is waiting for Brother Zhao in the lobby at the moment." ”
Jiang Nannan sighed in his heart.
The father in Xu Zhaoguang's mouth is not the master of the Xu family, Mr. Xu?
Jiang Nannan couldn't figure out if Mr. Xu still remembered himself, after all, when he was in the palace, Mr. Xu had given her and several imperial sisters a piano lesson. Although it was said that it was a few years ago, Jiang Nannan didn't dare to guarantee whether Mr. Xu would recognize her.
She stopped and grabbed Zhao Qingxuan's sleeve.
Zhao Qingxuan turned his head, as if he had been prepared, waiting for Jiang Nannan to speak.
Jiang Nannan made a lip shape: "I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep first." ”
Zhao Qingxuan glanced at her deeply, until he saw that Jiang Nannan's hairs were about to stand up, and then he said kindly: "Then you go and rest." ”
Xu Zhaoguang has always had strong eyesight, and he hurriedly said: "It's negligence, Miss Jiang has been tired all the way, and she must be tired." Xizhi, take Miss Jiang to the wing room of Chunlai Garden to rest, so that she can wait, and she must not be lazy. ”
A little girl who looked like a maid walked out and answered crisply: "Yes, young master." ”
"Miss Jiang, come with me."
Jiang Nannan breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Zhao Qingxuan and Xu Zhaoguang, and followed the girl named Xizhi to Chunlai Garden.
Xizhi is a cheerful and lively girl, and she keeps chattering on the way to the wing room with Jiang Nannan, maybe she sees that Jiang Nannan is the same age as her, or maybe Jiang Nannan's small round face is easy to make people feel intimate, Xizhi likes Jiang Nannan very much.
Xizhi asked Jiang Nannan with a smile: "Miss Jiang, I heard that you can't come from Zhoushan?" Is it true? I've heard adults say that there are immortals living on the mountain, and everyone who can live on the mountain is like this. ”
She gave her right thumbs up, fearing that it would not be enough, so she put up her left thumb as well.
"They're all very powerful people." She praised, "What's the difference between the people living on the mountain and us, does the mountain lord have three heads and six arms?" ”
Jiang Nannan's face was expressionless.
No, the mountain lord is a bad old man who likes to grab food from children for the sake of old disrespect.
"I heard that the people on the mountain don't eat, so they just drink dew like a fairy every day."
No, the people on the mountain are picky eaters, not freshly fried vegetables, not fresh meat, three meals a day, and occasionally add a supper at night.
"If you live in the mountains, can you really see the gods?"
No, living in the mountains you can only see a bunch of neurotics.
Xizhi chattered for a long time, and finally felt that something was wrong: "Miss Jiang, why don't you speak, do you think I'm annoying and don't want to pay attention to me." ”
Kieda touched her head, looking guilty.
Jiang Nannan has never been accustomed to seeing others show her guilt as if they had done something heinous to her, she waved her hand again and again, stretched out her finger and pointed to her mouth, "Ah" a few times.
Xizhi suddenly realized, a little embarrassed: "Miss Jiang, it turns out that you are dumb." ”
Jiang Nannan nodded vigorously.
Xizhi had a sense of guilt for revealing other people's scars, and then she thought she was very considerate and didn't talk to Jiang Nannan anymore, but when she walked to the gate of the courtyard of Chunlai Garden, she was unexpected.
Next door to Chunlai Garden is Beauty Garden.
I heard that the yard was named by the eldest lady of the Xu family herself, and the eldest lady of the Xu family was brought up by her grandmother since she was a child, and she has been living in her grandmother's yard since she was a child, and she has not moved out to live alone. It wasn't until she was eight years old that she moved out and designed and named this "Beauty Garden" herself.
The theory of the eldest lady of the Xu family is like this, and the beauty lives in the beauty garden, which is very reasonable.
And now, there is a noisy movement in the beauty garden, and the movement is so big that you can hear the quarrel in the spring garden next door.
"Damn! My delicate skin has been ruined like this by you! ”
"Hey, hey, hey, after all, don't do it, I'm not welcome if you do this again!"
"I like the red dress when I wear this one."
"I don't want it! This color girl chirps, don't you have normal clothes? ”
"Ah, why is my hair shortened here, and how the hell do you take care of my body!"
"Don't touch my hair! I don't want to rub rouge, take it away for me, take it away! ”
Jiang Nannan heard it, it was the voice of Xu Xian and the eldest lady.
Xizhi was a little embarrassed, she scratched her head, and tried to justify: "Actually, our eldest lady was not like this before, the eldest lady used to be a person who loved beauty and paid attention to manners, but somehow it became like this." ”
Kieda still has a word left unspoken.
That is, she thinks that the son named Xu Xian brought by the eldest young master is more like the eldest lady than the current eldest lady, although that Xu Xian Xu Gongzi does not look very normal, and she loves to learn how to dress up as a woman, but she is used to it and unexpectedly thinks it is quite good-looking.
Jiang Nannan felt as if she had caught some key clue, but the clue flashed quickly, and she could only catch her tail.
She took out a pen and paper and wrote like the wind: "What is the name of your eldest lady?" ”
Xizhi looked at Jiang Nannan's words of dragon flying and phoenix dance, and it was even more difficult: "Miss Jiang, I'm sorry, I can't read...... If you need anything, why don't I call Sister Lianzhi? She knew a few words. ”
Jiang Nannan shook his head and put the paper back.
It's not a big problem, so it won't bother people.
Zhao Qingxuan chatted with Mr. Xu and Xu Zhaoguang all night, and no one knew the content of the chat except for these three people, but what made Mr. Xu strange was that when Zhao Qingxuan was about to end the chat, he suddenly mentioned the third princess of the Yue Kingdom.
There are only three daughters under the knees of the king of Yue, and the first two princesses are all complete in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are also beautiful and picturesque. In contrast, this third princess is like a garbage heap, not at all like the king's own child.
Mr. Xu recalled it and found that he really had no impression of the third princess at all, but Zhao Qingxuan asked him, and he didn't want to answer anything.
He pondered for a moment and replied very implicitly: "The third princess is a kind and low-key person. ”
is not as good-looking as the two princesses in front of him, and his talent is not as good as the eldest princess and the second princess, can he be low-key?
As for the kindness of the heart, Mr. Xu felt that the word "low-key" to describe the princess of a country did not seem to be of much weight, so he racked his brains to add the adjective "kindness".
Zhao Qingxuan nodded, and the look on his face couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with this answer.
On the other side, Jiang Nannan, who is "kind and low-key", slept the most comfortable sleep since going down the mountain.
Before going to bed, she also took a hot bath and ate a full meal, the bed was new, soft and smelled of the sun. In the past, Jiang Nannan never expected that her requirements would be so low, so low that it would make her feel happy to death.
Especially when he no longer has to worry about waking up and serving Zhao Qingxuan's troublesome essence, Jiang Nannan feels that life can no longer be happy.
Xizhi said that Xu Zhaoguang would send someone to serve Zhao Qingxuan, so she didn't have to worry about it.
Jiang Nannan was so happy that he slept peacefully until the end of the day before waking up naturally.
It's so comfortable!
She stretched and yawned, about to open her eyes for a beautiful day, but was stunned when she opened her eyes to see the scene in front of her.
The eldest lady sat at the head of her bed, her eyes blank and haggard, and there was a heavy layer of blue under her eyes. Her hair was originally combed in a flying bun, but she felt awkward and uncomfortable, and she couldn't pull her hair off after pulling it for a long time, and now her hair was pulled all over by her, like a madman.
That's not all, she was forced to wear delicate makeup on her face before, her eyebrows were outlined with thin eyebrows, the center of her eyebrows was attached to yellow flowers, her cheeks were covered with girlish rouge, and even her mouth was smeared with gorgeous lipstick. I don't know what the eldest lady did to herself, the originally very delicate makeup was messed up by her, but it was not completely wiped clean, and the cherry mouth is now a bloody mouth, looking like a demon.
If you open your eyes at night, you will probably be scared to death.
It took Jiang Nannan a long time to recover from the fright in front of him.
How long has this eldest lady been sitting at the head of her bed? Looking at her like this, she shouldn't have stayed here without sleep all night.
At this time, Jiang Nannan heard Xu Xian's voice in the distance outside.
"What about others? Where did you run again! I declare that from now on, he cannot leave my sight for even a second! I want to take care of my white and tender skin again! ”
The eldest lady also heard the sound of Xu Xian outside.
The corners of her mouth suddenly twitched, and a nervous smile was hooked.
She grinned, and for a moment, Jiang Nannan felt that the eldest lady was going crazy.
In the next second, the eldest lady took out something from behind her, and officially the piano she had been carrying with her all this time. The eldest lady stuffed the piano with the cloth outside to Jiang Nannan, with a hideous expression: "This is for you!" ”
Although Jiang Nannan didn't know what this piano was for, her intuition told her that it was a hot potato, so she subconsciously pushed it out and didn't want to take it. But the eldest lady's strength was unexpectedly great, and she was stunned and stuffed into Jiang Nannan's arms.
She told Jiang Nannan: "Don't say I'm not good to you. This piano is life-saving, at least ...... At least Zhao Qingxuan will be a little better for you for the sake of this piano. ”
Jiang Nannan was very suspicious that someone like Zhao Qingxuan would treat her well because of such a broken piano?
The eldest lady told Jiang Nannan: "Don't let others until this piano is with you." ”
As soon as the eldest lady said this, Jiang Nannan felt that this piano could not be picked up, and she still wanted to push the piano back.
This is a guqin that looks a little old.
This guqin doesn't look like anything special, except for the ......
The third string of the guqin is broken.
The eldest lady saw the broken string and was silent, she stood up abruptly and took the lead in throwing the pot: "I didn't break it!" ”
