Chapter 54: Making it Clear
Li Xiao originally looked at the arrogant attitude of the mother-in-law, thinking that Chu Xi was just a brutal person like Chu Zhenzhen, but when she entered the flower hall, she realized the difference.
The flower hall is extremely clean, there is only a green-clothed girl waiting, the charcoal brazier is burning, occasionally making a 'crackling' sound, and the eldest sister is wearing a light-colored old cotton coat sitting in the first seat, looking indifferent and quiet, like a hollow valley orchid, but there are a few touches of charm in the corners of her eyes.
On the coffee table next to her, there is a blue and white potbelly vase, and three or two plum blossoms that bloom just right are inserted in it, exuding wisps of fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
"Big sister is polite." Li Xiao came back to his senses and bowed.
Chu Ji chuckled and asked Lu Ya to help him up: "Sit down." Li Xiao is five or six years older than her, but she seems a little reserved.
Li Xiao sat down, remembered the purpose of coming over and hurriedly stood up again, a trace of crimson appeared on his handsome and fair face, and took the wooden box in the hand of the little girl: "This is my little care, and I should ...... it."
"Green Shoots." Chu Xi interrupted him, and the green sprouts understood, turned his head and lifted the curtain, and the girl who was eavesdropping outside was frightened: "Big, big lady......"
"Go back and tell my mother that she cares about me so much, and when Ming'er goes to my uncle's house, I will definitely talk about it well." Chu Xi smiled gently.
Yahuan's face turned pale, and before she had time to kneel, she lowered the curtain and stood at the door.
Li Xiao was stunned: "Big sister, this is ......"
"Inside and outside the house are the maids and mothers sent by their mothers, and it's really hard to discipline, so you can see the jokes."
Chu Xi lowered her head and took a shallow sip of tea: "Since you have seen it clearly, go back early, I have heard people say that Cousin Li Xiao has an excellent memory since he was a child, and his reading is even better than ordinary people, although he is not lucky now, his father is unwilling to carry it, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is a meritocracy, if Cousin Li Xiao is unwilling to go back to the county seat to continue to study hard, you can also go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to try." "Li Xiao in her previous life was an important help for King Xiaoyao, I don't know what will happen if she gives people to Zhao Xuanyi, the eighth prince.
Li Xiao looked at Chu Xi in astonishment, how could she know so much about a boudoir woman.
As if he knew what he was thinking, Chu Xi raised his eyes to look at him: "It's just that you are more careful, and you like to hear people say some miscellaneous things, if Cousin Li Xiao doesn't believe it, just go back to your hometown after Ming'er, with your hard work and talent, you will definitely be able to go to high school in less than three years." ”
Li Xiao looked at her calm appearance, and her previous uneasy heart was a little calmer: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that the eldest sister is only fourteen years old now, so it's really surprising." ”
"It's not too early, in order to avoid gossip, cousin, let's go back." Chu Ji said.
Li Xiao also reacted and asked people to leave their things: "I'll leave now." ”
"You can also take the things with you, I am my daughter's family, and now I am almost in time, it is not appropriate to contain the man's things in the room, if the cousin is still worried about the brother-sister relationship, then I hope that in the future, my cousin will be in trouble, and my cousin can help." Chu Xi's tone was still calm,
Li Xiao's face was slightly red, but her heart was very happy: "Big sister, don't worry." ”
Green Sprouts sent Li Xiao out of the Zhujin Courtyard and said to him: "Cousin, my young lady also asked me to bring you a word, don't be angry when you hear it." ”
"Please." Li Xiao said.
"Miss said that after some things are thrown away, if you pick them up again and again, you can't lose them for the rest of your life." Green Bud winked at him, seeing that he was speechless in shock, knowing that Miss had guessed correctly, he still had expectations for Chu Zhenzhen, but now that Miss had spoken thoroughly, it was up to him how he chose.
Li Xiao looked at the box he was holding in his arms, he had just come out, and he was going to take it to Chu Zhenzhen, but now he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have lived for twenty years, and I am not as good as a fourteen-year-old girl." With that, he strode towards his own courtyard.
Chu Zhenzhen received the news from the mother-in-law of Zhujin Courtyard, and she was so angry that she directly tore off the beads in her hand.
Ying'er stood at the bottom with a white face and didn't dare to make a sound, Chu Zhenzhen stared at her, ashamed and annoyed: "You stupid girl, it's not good to inquire about the news, what do I want you to do, come here, drag me down and hit ten boards!" ”
Ying'er was so frightened that her legs were weak: "Miss, you can't blame the slave maid, it's all the eldest lady, it's the eldest lady who seduced her cousin!" ”
Chu Zhenzhen snorted coldly, her eyes were already full of murderous energy: "She Chu Zhen is talented and beautiful, why fight with me!" After thinking about it, she recruited the little girl to come over, and prepared to write a letter to Yun Songyue, the eldest lady of the Yun Shangshu family, and sent it, she remembered that in order to please herself, Nizi shook off a lot of Yun family secrets, and one of them was that in the Yun family's mansion, there was actually a mentally handicapped and lustful maniac who ate human flesh raw, and she also got this by accident, but Chu Zhenzhen thought, such a 'good' person, isn't it just right to match her Chu Xi!
