Chapter 122: A Little Temper
Chu Xi didn't expect that Jiang Fan really didn't want the child in her belly, watching her slam against the corner of the table, Chu Xi was frightened, grabbed her arm, and used her body to block the corner of the table, but Jiang Fan's child didn't fall, but she almost lost half her life. ziyouge
Hearing the sound, Ning didn't stop Lu Tan.
Lu Tan came in and saw Chu Xi lying on the ground holding her stomach, her face was snow-white, and her brows were twisted together because of pain.
"Miss!" Lu Tan exclaimed, and people kept running in outside.
As soon as the Ning family came in, the first thing he did was pull Jiang Fan, who was standing on the side in shock: "How is it?" ”
Jiang Fan touched his stomach and showed no signs of miscarriage. Su Guifei didn't kill her child now, this child was indeed something she wanted to take out herself, because she wanted Zhao Xuanyi to regret it, but she didn't expect Chu Ji to be one step faster
"Go get a doctor!" Green Sandalwood immediately turned his head and ordered, then calmly took the medicine and gauze, and let Green Sandalwood bring the person into the room.
"Concubine Niangniang, my young lady has accidentally bumped into you now, please spare her for the sake of her being injured now." Green Sprout bent his knees in front of Jiang Fan, holding back the tears in his eyes.
Jiang Fan's lips were a little pale, trembling in response, seeing the maids and women running in a hurry, only to feel a little dizzy, just as she was about to think again, Lu Tan walked out of the room, lowering her eyebrows: "Miss ordered, now that the Chu Mansion is unlucky, the mother is pregnant, it is better not to stay longer, the slave will escort you back to the prince's mansion, and explain today's events to the prince, in order to ask the prince for forgiveness." ”
Jiang Fan grabbed Ning's hand tightly, and Ning hurriedly said: "No need, I'll just send Niangniang back."
"No, my young lady has ordered, you must be escorted by the slave maid in person, the side concubine is inconvenient, otherwise Fang Cai will not suddenly stand unstable, you have always said that the maid who is waiting for her is not dedicated, so it is better to return the slave maid to send you back, otherwise if you have a three long and two short in Chu Mansion, our young lady is afraid that the marriage that is about to be carried out will not be completed." Lu Tan tried hard to suppress her anger and keep herself from scolding, how did Chu Xi fall, as soon as she came in, she understood it, Chu Xi walked slowly and leisurely, and was the most secure, how could she suddenly hit the corner of the table so hard? She must have asked herself to personally escort Jiang Fan out of the Chu Mansion, she must have wanted to make trouble again!
Jiang Fan knew that she was angry, and the look in her eyes became colder, but she still smiled gently: "You better stay and take care of Xi'er, this time it's my fault, I actually slipped my foot, and I want Xi'er to block this for me." I'll tell the prince when I go back, if something happens to the child, it's not about the Chu Mansion. ”
Lu Tan was too lazy to play tricks with her, so he only said, "That slave will send you out of the house." ”
"I'll say a few more words to my sister." Jiang Fan walked in after saying that, and Lu Tan hated it so much that he could only follow him in.
When she came, Lu Ya had already applied ointment for Chu Xi, but it was just a large dark bruise on her abdomen, and her tears fell straight down, Chu Xi used to be in the nunnery, and if she touched her body a little, she would have a bruise and pain for several days, and now this injury, I am afraid that it will not be healed for ten days and a half months.
"Is it okay?" Jiang Fan walked forward a little more and asked.
Xiao Fu'er was afraid of Jiang Fan's identity, and she was also afraid of causing trouble for Chu Xi again, so she hurriedly said: "Miss didn't hurt her life. ”
"But it's pretty much the same." Green Sprout's stubborn temperament also came out: "The abdomen is full of bruises, my young lady is already easy to be injured, and it takes several days for a scar to go down, but now I look at the whole abdomen is bruised, and I don't know how many months it will take to get better." Miss will get married in a few days" Lu Ya sobbed as she spoke, and Ning looked at Chu Xi who was lying on the bed with a pale face, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Fan frowned slightly, she just wanted to knock off the child in her belly, who knew that she would come out to block this, if the prince knew, I was afraid that he would be even more disgusted with himself.
"You all go out and wait first, I have something to say to my sister-in-law alone." Jiang Fandao.
"No!" Green Sprout gritted her teeth and stood in place: "The slave is just such a young lady, and if she bumps it again, she will lose half her life." ”
"When the side concubine speaks, how can you be presumptuous." Ning was dissatisfied.
Lu Tan stepped forward to block in front of the green buds: "If Concubine Jiang comes to Chu Mansion to beat and scold the master's subordinates, let's do it directly." ”
Jiang Fan looked at them one by one as if they were at home, and laughed, but he felt envious in his heart: "I don't mean to kill you, go down, I will come out after I say a few words, if your young lady has another good one, even the prince will not let me go." ”
Lu Tan wanted to say more, but Chu Xi easily regained some strength, and said softly: "Okay, you go out and wait." ”
Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi and bit her lip stiffly: "Then Miss, you have to call me for something, my ears are smart." ”
"Okay." Chu Xiwan'er, a few girls hurriedly went down.
Jiang Fan looked back at Ning's family: "Sister-in-law, you should go out first." ”
Ning nodded, looked at Chu Xi, and also followed the steps out.
After everyone left, Jiang Fan turned his head and looked at Chu Xi condescendingly: "Isn't it strange why I tried so hard to keep this child before, why don't I want it now?" ”
Chu Xi closed her eyes tiredly, and now she only needed to breathe a little harder to feel as if a wound had opened in her abdomen.
"Because I want the prince to be disgusted with you." Jiang Fan didn't intend to let Chu Xi answer, she sat down along the edge of the bed, her eyes were pitiful, and the corners of her mouth were filled with a bitter smile: "But this is not the only purpose, the Jiang Mansion is not liked by the prince now, nor the mother concubine, if I don't like it again, then the Jiang Mansion will be over." When the prince marries the concubine again, I will be finished, I will always leave something to make the prince feel regretful and indebted, so that I am not afraid that I will be like the concubines in the harem who have been beaten into the cold palace, and I will not see the light of day for the rest of my life. ”
Chu Xi didn't want to listen to her calculations, closed her eyes lightly, and adjusted her breathing to stop some of the pain.
Jiang Fan thought she was tired of herself, so she only got up and smiled: "I know that you are starting to hate me now, it doesn't matter, anyway, for so many years, all my sisters have only calculated among themselves, and they are not afraid of one more of you." After saying that, Jiang Fan turned around, hesitated before going out, and turned his head to look at her: "Do you know how many emperors have killed ministers and taken wives in all dynasties?" ”
Chu Ji was stunned, but opened her eyes a little helplessly, and said calmly: "I don't care how many dynasties and dynasties there are, but it will never be my turn." ”
"If yes"
"No, yes." Chu Xi was categorical, and Jiang Fan chuckled: "Ji'er is really a person of affection and sex, if her husband dies and his wife follows, she can also achieve a good story." ”
Chu Xi didn't pay attention to her anymore, she originally only thought that Jiang Fan was true love for Zhao Xuanyi, but now, she is almost to the level of madness and doesn't know it, there have been no other women in the prince's mansion for so many years, and I think she has a 'credit'.
After Jiang Fan left, several girls quickly ran in, Chu Xi looked at it, and when she didn't see Lu Tan, she knew that she was escorting Jiang Fan out, and she felt a little relieved: "Don't spread this matter." ”
"But wouldn't it be better to let the prince know that she should be punished." Xiao Fu'er was also annoyed.
Chu Xi smiled lightly: "Silly girl." "She doesn't want to have anything to do with the crown princess anymore, and it's better not to have a dime relationship.
"It's okay now, you don't have to receive those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods anymore, and you can tell you to go down, no matter who comes, you won't be sick." Chu Xi said with a smile.
The girls all nodded, but Aunt Fu specially brought a decoction to replenish qi and blood, and Chunzhi just happened to bring the doctor back.
At this time, Lin Qingyu had just come out of the Prince's Mansion and heard about Chu Xi, Lin Fu thought that he would be furious, but he didn't expect him to be unusually calm.
"Go back to the Prince's Mansion." Lin Qingyu said immediately.
Zhao Xuanyi was thinking about discussing with Lin Qingyu just now, if the draft really had to start again, a prince like him who had not yet married a wife would definitely be given marriage by the emperor, and he had always felt that the emperor was not optimistic about himself, so it was very likely that the object of marriage to him would not be the daughter of the minister who held the real power he wanted, which made him very embarrassed.
Just thinking about it, he heard that Lin Qingyu had turned back again, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "What did he do when he came back." ”
Just as he was puzzled, Lin Qingyu had already strode over, smiling.
"What's wrong?"
"The minister just thought about it, the ministers who hold real power, most of the daughters in the family are either too young, or there are some unfavored, and the prince should ask for marriage in person instead of waiting for marriage." Lin Qingyu stood aside and said, his eyes shining with a strange light.
"Asking for a marriage?" Zhao Xuanyi frowned: "The prince asks to marry the daughter of the minister, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will fabricate something, I am afraid it is inappropriate"
"The prince naturally can't ask to marry the daughter of the minister, and besides, most of the ministers in the court and the central government have already submitted to the prince, and when the time comes, the prince will accept their daughter as a side concubine or concubine, as for the concubine, who can compare to the Mongolian Khan who is now holding 500,000 elite cavalry!" Lin Qingyu's words were clear, and he seemed to grit his teeth when he said it, but his face was clear and full of smiles.
Zhao Xuanyi didn't think much about it, because when he heard the words of the Mongolian Khan, he also pondered, Mongolia is now guarding the border, and the legend of 500,000 elite cavalry is a division that wins a hundred battles, if there is the support of Mongolia, even if the emperor wants to easily remove him as the crown prince, it is impossible: "But is it not appropriate to let a foreign princess be the crown princess?" ”
Zhao Xuanyi was still a little hesitant, and Lin Qingyu said: "There is nothing inappropriate, if the two countries can form permanent friendly relations, no one will say a word, prince, I heard that someone in the court sent a letter to Mongolia in private, wanting to marry a Mongolian princess for several other princes, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that the road ahead will be more difficult." Lin Qingyu's words are sincere.
Zhao Xuanyi bowed slightly: "What you said makes sense, it seems that we also have to secretly send a letter to the past, after all, we are a big country, I take the initiative to ask for marriage, and I will definitely be seized by someone with a heart to slander the palace with bad intentions, if you can let Mongolia take the initiative to ask for marriage, it is the best." ”
Lin Qingyu saw that the plan had been achieved, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "There is a way, the prince can give it a try." ”
"What's the solution?"
"The Mongolian king is now also suffering from internal and external troubles, the internal struggle of the royal family is fierce, and the most favored at present is the Mongolian prince Yeluqi, if the prince can be friendly with him, and then secretly reveal his intention to cooperate. He will definitely do his best to make it happen. Lin Qingyu said.
Zhao Xuanyi's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyes to look at Lin Qingyu: "The suggestion you made today is much faster than usual, and it is much more useful." ”
"I'm in a good mood today and I'm inspired." Lin Qing was foolish, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say: "Most Mongolians think that we don't like exotic beauties, so how about I find a few for the prince and put them in the mansion?" ”
Zhao Xuanyi frowned slightly: "Now is not the time for arrogance and lasciviousness, the people are still in dire straits"
"The prince is too diligent and loves the people, so people are afraid of it." Lin Qingyu said as if jokingly, but Zhao Xuanyi raised his head suddenly. He never understood why he was so good, and his father still didn't want to see him, was he because he was jealous?
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Lin Qingyu for a long time, he was extremely smart, and he was often by his father's side, thinking that he understood: "Okay, you send it." ”
"Yes." Lin Qingyu smiled lightly, bowed to him, turned around and strode away.
When he got out of the Prince's Mansion, Lin Fu sighed, Lin Qingyu was amazing. He thought that he was really not angry at all that Jiang Fan had hurt Chu Xi, but he didn't think that he would use such a method, which can be described as a punishment, the master's little temper
"What are you laughing at secretly, don't go back and prepare people." Lin Qingyu's face suddenly turned cold and said.
Lin Fu looked serious: "What standard do you prepare?" ”
Lin Qingyu looked coldly at the Prince's Mansion: "Exotic and bewitching, the more seductive the better." ”
"Yes!"
Jiang Fancai came back from the Chu Mansion and went to the prince's study, but before he could go in, he heard a woman's delicate voice inside.
Jiang Fan frowned, standing at the door with a cold face: "Is the prince inside?" ”
"The prince is not here." The man guarding the door was honest.
"What's going on there?" Jiang Fan stared at him.
The man smiled and said, "Inside are all exotic beauties sent by Lin Shizi, and the prince allowed them to play inside." ”
"What" Jiang Fan was stunned, the prince has never been close to women, and he has only shared a bed with him for so many years, and she has even sent away the girls who used to have sex with her, how could she pamper an exotic beauty at this time
"Concubine Fang, it's not early, you should go back and rest early." Ning also followed to the side and comforted.
Jiang Fan's palms were clenched tightly, and he happened to run into a maid from the prince's side. first saluted Jiang Fan: "I've seen the side concubine." ”
"You don't go to serve the prince, what are you doing here?" Jiang Fan suppressed his excitement and asked.
The maid looked at her in embarrassment, and said cautiously: "The prince commanded, recruit someone to go to bed." ”
"Bed!" Jiang Fan only felt a pain in his heart: "A few strange foreign women, why are they sleeping, is it safe, have you checked the details?" And didn't I send a few warm bed rings before, how?"
"Back to the side concubine, the slave maid is just a little subordinate, I don't know why the prince is like this, as for these women, they have been checked, and the background is clean."
Jiang Fan only felt dizzy, and took a step back, the Ning family hurriedly helped her, the girl saw it, and hurriedly glanced at the people at the door, so they opened the door and invited the four exotic women out.
Jiang Fan looked at the four of them. It is indeed beautiful, and it is only in April, and she is only wearing tulle, and the beauty on her chest is looming.
The four of them saluted delicately, Jiang Fan didn't know what to say, so they smiled coquettishly and let people take them down.
Jiang Fan's nose was sour, tears welled up in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth.
"Man, which one is not three wives and four concubines, and at the age of the prince, Concubine Su must already be helping him with Concubine Luo and taking concubines, Niangniang, these are things sooner or later, we women just have to be generous, so that the husband will feel intimate and like it more" Ning persuaded on the side.
Jiang Fan took a deep breath, looked at his stomach, and pushed Ning's: "Sister-in-law, you go back first." ”
"What about you"
"I'm fine." After Jiang Fan finished speaking, he let people help him back to the courtyard.
Ning's saw this. just sighed, thinking that the prince was like this, I was afraid that he knew about today's events, otherwise he would not have deliberately angered Jiang Fan like this.
Ning sighed again, and said that she could understand it.
Not long after she walked out of the prince's mansion, she heard about Jiang Fan's accidental slipping and falling into the water, naturally, the child was not saved, but this time the matter could not be pushed on the prince's head, everyone only said that it was the bad luck of the Chu Mansion, so that no one dared to go to the Chu Mansion.
Chu Xi simply drank some porridge and then rested, and asked the maids to go outside to guard, and then fell asleep, in her sleep, she seemed to vaguely feel a pair of warm hands on her abdomen, but it didn't make her feel pain, but warm. She didn't dream much all night and slept soundly.
The next morning, she was woken up by the gentle breath that fell on her face like a feather sweeping, and when she turned her head to see a familiar face, Chu Xi raised the corners of her mouth, but she immediately felt that the injury in her abdomen seemed to be much better, so that she didn't even feel pain when she took a breath.
Chu Xi looked at the sleeping Lin Qingyu, her skin was fair and delicate, her facial features were clear, her eyelashes seemed to be thicker than her own, the high bridge of her nose, the closed fox eyes seemed to be constantly bubbling with peach blossoms, and the arc of her lips was also very beautiful, but her eyebrows were always wrinkled, which made people feel distressed.
Chu Xi rubbed his eyebrows, and when he saw that he was a little loose, he carefully stroked his eyebrow bone along the center of his eyebrows, and the eyebrow bone was the bridge of the nose and then the lips
"Yikes"
Chu Xi exhaled softly. Lin Qingyu gently bit her naughty finger, and deliberately touched it with the tip of her tongue, which made Chu Xi blush.
Lin Qingyu let go and looked at her with a smile who had recovered her spirits, and then carefully took her in his arms: "Fortunately, you're fine." ”
"I'm not a dead man." Chu Xi pursed her lips and chuckled.
Lin Qingyu kissed her lightly on the face, her eyes full of distress and happiness: "Don't take chances, give me a serious and careful life, next time I bump into it, I will"
"What about you?" Chu Ji stared at him lightly, Lin Qingyu was full of helplessness, and whispered in her ear; "I'll let you get out of bed every day, so I'll wait in bed obediently."
Chu Xi didn't expect him to be so indecent again, his face flushed, he turned his head and plunged into his chest, complaining silently, but Lin Qingyu just laughed out loud, and carefully hugged her in his arms like caring for a treasure.
"Does your stomach still hurt?" Lin Qingyu asked.
Chu Xi blinked: "It's much better." ”
Lin Qingyu said: "Then try not to go out of the house today, just walk around the room a little, and I'll rub it for you at night." ”
Chu Xi nodded sullenly, he kneaded the plaster for himself, didn't he untie his clothes
Thinking of this, Chu Xi stuck his head in his arms like an ostrich and refused to come out, until Lu Tan shouted outside, 'The medicine is about to cool', Lin Qingyu got up: "I'll come back at night, you will marry in a few days, and when the time comes, I will see who can hurt you in the Hou Mansion." ”
Chu Xiwaner, he left a kiss and disappeared into the house.
When Lu Tan came in, he saw that Chu Xi's complexion had improved a lot, and he smiled meaningfully: "Our medicine is all mortal medicine, and some fairies are afraid that it is a heavenly medicine, and the effect of the medicine is much better." ”
"Who is the fairy?" Chunzhi and Green Sprout brought their washing things.
After Chu Xi washed, she looked at Lu Tan: "You are so smart, why don't you give you to the eighteen-year-old boy in the Prince's Mansion."
"Don't, don't, I don't dare to talk nonsense." Lu Tan hurriedly waved his hand, Xiao Fu'er helped Aunt Fu bring breakfast together, Aunt Fu specially boiled japonica porridge, with sugar steamed cheese and jade celery shrimp dumplings, Zhaoji abalone cup and so on a total of more than ten kinds of breakfast.
Xiao Fu'er saw that Chu Xi looked like she had no appetite, and turned her head to look at Aunt Fu with a smile: "Mother, these are all green sandalwood that you love to eat, and Miss can still eat with a porridge." ”
Aunt Fu smiled: "Don't worry, I made the soup, and after the young lady drinks this porridge, my soup can be served." ”
"Then go and watch." Xiao Fu'er pushed Aunt Fu out, and Aunt Fu was pushed out by her before she could speak.
Seeing that Aunt Fu was gone, Xiao Fu'er ran back mysteriously and opened the bottom of the food box, as if it was a cold dish that Chu Xi usually ate a few more bites.
"I asked another mother in the kitchen to make it quietly, miss, eat it, but this thing is cold, you can only eat a little bit, don't accumulate cold when you turn around." Xiao Fu'er admonished.
Lu Tan looked at Xiao Fu'er he: "The little girl is getting more and more clever, it seems that it is right to take you to the Hou Mansion." ”
Xiao Fu'er laughed, and the two small dimples sank deeply: "That's not, who am I, I'm the cutest and most intimate little girl around Miss." ”
Everyone laughed, and Aunt Fu stood outside the door and listened, and laughed too, and then turned around and left.
After breakfast, Chu Xi finally heard the only good news in this period of time, Han Min was released, he admitted the existence of Yu Niang, and Zhao Xuanyi's arrangements were circulating, so he was quickly released from Dali Temple.
Just after noon, Chu Xi had no intention of sleeping, so she sat in the conservatory, wearing the thin quilt that Xiao Fu'er wanted to cover her, looking at the scenery from the window, and listening to Xiao Fu'er's chatter.
"I heard that the Hou Mansion has been lively these days, since the first two days, all the silver money has been replaced with copper plates, and ten baskets have been taken to distribute money at the door, and there are those who come, this Hou Mansion is really generous." Xiao Fu'er sighed.
Lu Tan sat aside to help Chu Xi embroider a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hou likes our young lady, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so much money and effort, wouldn't it?" ”
"Well, if you look at the dowry outside, one hundred and ninety-two lifts, how much silver is it worth." Xiao Fu'er said again.
The two of them talked lively, and Lu Tan was cross-legged Erlang, chewing sauce beef, looking at the two of them, and laughing: "Look at you guys, it's as if you're going to get married." ”
Xiao Fu'er looked at her angrily: "You will spoil the atmosphere!" ”
Chunzhi sat quietly on one side and carefully embroidered her wedding dress, Chu Xi gave her all the materials she had bought to make her wedding dress, and a small pearl for her to embellish, for this master, she admired it from the bottom of her heart, and felt from the bottom of her heart that she should be able to have such a good in-law.
A few people were laughing, and a little girl ran in outside to look at Chunzhi and said with a smile: "Sister Chunzhi, the scholar of the Fu family has brought an old hen over again, and he also brought a basket of eggs, I have to give it to you." ”
The three maidens in the room laughed one after another. They all put down the work in their hands and looked at Chunzhi: "Go quickly." ”
Chunzhi's face was crimson, and his eyes were full of joy.
Chu Xi also became happy: "Go quickly." ”
"Yes." Chunzhi got up and saluted, and hurried out, and before she left, the three girls all followed by the door, staring at the two people standing at the second door without blinking.
Fu Liangsheng is dressed in a half-worn but well-packed blue robe, draped in a gray cloak, with white skin and a bookish atmosphere, so he looks like a good boy with red lips and white teeth. As for Chunzhi, slim and shy, he is really a match with this Fu Liangsheng.
Chunzhi seemed to have a feeling, stood for a while, and when he turned his head, he saw three heads coming out to stare here, his face was even redder, he bit his lip shyly, and turned his head to look at Fu Liangsheng: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Fu Liangsheng didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at her, he stood two steps away, and waved at her: "Then Xiaosheng Xiaosheng won't bother, my mother said that the chickens and eggs at home are worthless, you can eat at ease, it doesn't matter, it's just that our family can't get a better courtesy, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”
"How can you dislike it." Chunzhi was a little anxious, and as soon as he raised his eyes and Fu Liangsheng's eyes collided, both of them lowered their heads in shame.
"Miss is still waiting for me to serve, so I won't say anything more to you." Chunzhi whispered, her tone full of the shyness and joy of her little daughter.
"Then I'll come back next time." Fu Liangsheng smiled, handed over the things to Chunzhi, and then reluctantly left.
Harukeda watched his back disappear around the corner, only to turn around, but saw three excited people running towards her, embarrassed and didn't know what to say, turned around and ran to the kitchen.
"Cousin-in-law, can I take a sip of your soup?" Xiao Fu'er made the bad one shout behind.
"Yes." Chunzhi was angry, but he turned his head and responded.
Xiao Fu'er and the others laughed even more, but Chunzhi didn't think they were laughing at herself, and turned her head and ran away with shame on her face.
Chu Xi listened to the laughter coming from the courtyard, and her mood was much better, she leaned comfortably on the couch, and her lips were raised high.
Such a quiet day lasted until the day before the wedding.
Chu Zhenzhen's is almost good, but it is still said that it is not good, so no one has ever bothered her, let alone these people in the house, Chu Zhenzhen is grounded, and Chu Zhen's courtyard is even more impenetrable and protected, and no one can enter.
But today is different, tomorrow is going to get married, today is the day when the sisters come to give makeup.
Early in the morning, before Chu Dai went out, Chu Daier came.
Today, she is dressed in bright red clothes, and she has a golden hairpin on her head, as if she is going to get married.
As soon as Chu Dai'er came over, the atmosphere in the room was much colder, and none of the girls had a good face, but Chu Dai looked faint.
"Sit down." Chu Xi beckoned, sat on the side of the warm couch and continued to hold his miscellaneous books to read.
Chu Dai'er didn't sit down, but just took out a small box and gave it to her: "This is my heart for my sister, I hope my big sister likes it." ”
Seeing her smiling, Lu Tan felt that she didn't have a good heart, so she took the box for Chu Xi one step ahead and put it away.
"Big sister doesn't take a look?" Chu Dai'er smiled, as if waiting for Chu Xi to open the box before leaving.
Chu Ji wanted to refuse, Chu Dai'er must have a purpose when she came over, she never wasted her efforts, but today she couldn't guess her purpose, it was better not to look at it, but Lu Tan took the first step.
"The slave maid will open the box for Miss." After saying that, Lu Tan opened the box directly, and she not only knew that there was any poison Gu worm in it.
The green sandalwood was opened, and a big black scorpion really fell out of the box.
Everyone was startled, Chu Dai reacted instantly, Chu Dai'er dared to blatantly send a poisonous scorpion, she had to open it now, she didn't want to poison anyone, but to test someone.
Chu Ji saw that Lu Tan was about to make a move, and coughed lightly: "What does the fourth sister mean by sending the scorpion?" ”
Chu Dai'er ignored her, whispering something in her mouth, and the poisonous scorpion pounced directly towards the green sprout on one side.
Lu Tan panicked, where did he think so much, he reached out to grab it, but in that moment of lightning, he stopped moving
"Dead thing, stinky thing, dare to bite someone, I'll kill you!" Xiao Fu'er grabbed the vase of jade on the side and smashed it at the scorpion, smashing it accurately, without feeling distressed at all, just when Chu Dai'er was also stunned, Xiao Fu'er was about to step on it without fear of death, and Lu Tan hurriedly said: "Wait!" ”
Chu Xi glanced at Lu Tan, blinked, and spoke before her: "Don't touch." Pack things up. ”
Green Sandalwood seemed to realize something, and obediently closed her mouth and stood aside without speaking.
Chunzhi reacted, and hurriedly took a copper bowl from the side to basket the dying scorpion, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Green Sprout looked at Chu Dai'er in astonishment: "Fourth Miss, what did the slave do wrong, you want to kill the slave?" ”
Chu Dai'er smiled lightly, squinted her eyes and looked at Xiao Fu'er, and then looked at the green sandalwood standing on the side with her eyebrows lowered, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, this scorpion was bought by me in the market, the stinger has been pulled out, it can be used as a pet, I want to give it to the big sister, and I went to the Hou Mansion in the future, if anyone dares to bully the big sister, the big sister can scare them with this thing." ”
"Thank you for bothering the fourth sister, I will take care of this scorpion, I happened to be reading a book recently mentioned how to raise a scorpion, I can try, but if it is raised, the fourth sister should not be angry." Chu Xi said with a smile.
Chu Dai'er saw her like this, and smiled lightly: "How can you blame the big sister, my sister is here, so I wish my sister and the prince to grow old together." ”
"Lend you good words." Chu Xiwan'er, sitting steadily, didn't look panicked for half a minute.
Seeing her like this, Chu Dai'er turned her head and left, looked at Xiao Fu'er suspiciously before walking out, then looked at Lu Tan, smiled weirdly, turned her head and left.
As soon as she left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Tan hurriedly stepped forward, and said a few words in his mouth, so that people opened the bowl, spread a handkerchief on the scorpion, and pulled out the silver hairpin on the sky, and took the scorpion's life at once.
The green sandalwood face did not change the color and took the scorpion back into the box. After installing it, he said, "I'll send this thing back to her in a moment!" ”
"No need." Chu Xi glanced at her and said, "She's here to find someone, isn't it tantamount to throwing yourself into the net if you go over now?" ”
"Looking for someone?" Green sandalwood's heart is empty.
"It should be." Chu Xi didn't say anything to death, but she could be regarded as giving her a reminder: "Take this thing and bury it." ”
"Yes." Green Sandalwood suddenly became full of worries, turned his head and went out.
Xiao Fu'er watched her go out, and then looked at Chu Xi awkwardly: "Miss, these broken vases and jade"
"Human life is always more valuable than these things outside the body, this time it was you who saved the green shoots, and I have to reward you." Chu Xi said with a smile.
Xiao Fu'er's eyes widened: "What does Miss want to reward me?" ”
Chu Xi smiled lightly and looked at the green sprouts: "I remember that there seem to be two golden hairpins with jade butterflies, you go and get them, give one to Xiao Fu'er and Chunzhi." ”
"Yes." Green sprouts responded, Xiao Fu'er listened, she was overjoyed, she liked the butterfly hairpin too much, but she felt that it was too precious, so she just looked at it twice every time, and she didn't dare to touch it.
"Thank you, Miss!" Chunzhi and Xiao Fu'er thanked each other. Chu Xi looked at Xiao Fu'er as if she was about to jump up, and shook her head with a smile.
Not long after, Chu Bingsong's people also came, and he didn't want to come over, so he only asked people to send over the few items that Yang Pei still had in front of him, which was considered to be flattering.
Chu Ji looked at a few handkerchiefs and three or two hairpins left by her mother in front of her, thinking that Chu Bingsong turned them out of nowhere.
"Go and put it away, and take it to the Hou Mansion when the time comes." Chu Ji said.
Green Sprout bowed slightly, and went down with something.
One after another, there were many young ladies who were not familiar with each other at all who sent makeup, and now even if they don't look at Chu Bingsong's face, they also have to look at the face of the Hou Mansion.
Yun Songyi came over in the evening, and when she came, her eyes were a little swollen, and Chu Xi sat on the warm couch. looked at her and said, "How is Elder Yan?" "She hasn't come for a long time, it's just two reasons, one is that something happened to Boss Yan, and she couldn't leave at all, and the other is that the people from Yunfu and Yanfu collided, and now it seems that there are both.
"The imperial doctor went to see it, and said that he was afraid that he would not survive the autumn." Yun Songyi's voice was a little hoarse, but he hurriedly smiled and took out a box half an arm's length and width. The box is made of high-quality rosewood, carved along the lines of a lot of delicate patterns, open a look, inside is full of delicate Zhu Hai jewelry: "I know you have a lot of these, but mine is carefully selected by me, you must like them all." ”
Chu Xiwaner: "I naturally like it." Chu Xi stretched out her hand and only picked out a hairpin from it: "Your gifts are enough." ”
"But"
"I'll take the rest, but I'll keep it for you, and I'll give it to you when I think you need it one day, how about it?" Chu Xi said with a smile.
Yun Songyi's eyes suddenly wet. Reluctantly looked at Chu Xi with a smile, but with a smile, he lay on the low table in front of him and cried, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances for such a long time.
Xiao Fu'er silently flicked hot water: "Miss Yun, wipe your face, Lu Tan has a lot of sauced beef, and said that I want to have a good time with you." ”
Yun Songyi easily stopped crying, laughed teasingly, washed up, and then sat opposite Chu Xi with warm tea: "Sister Xi'er, you are the best person to me except for my grandfather and my mother, I thought that if I didn't come to see you for so many days, you would definitely be angry with me and refuse to pay attention to me." ”
Chu Ji chuckled: "You didn't make a mistake, why should I ignore you." And I understand your situation, so naturally I won't blame you. ”
Yun Songyi finally laughed after hearing this.
Chu Xi looked at the wetness in her eyes that she couldn't hide even when she laughed, thinking that she had suffered a lot. was forced to go from an innocent girl to bear so many burdens and responsibilities immediately, and Yun Shangshu died. She will definitely not watch the people of Yunfu fend for themselves, but the people of Yunfu are not born in peace; Elder Yan is now seriously ill in bed, if he lets go, Yun Songyi and her mother will inevitably be excluded by the Yan Mansion. She is still so immature, she has to learn to start taking on these burdens, as for the marriage with Li Xiao and the unclear feelings for Zheng Yun, I am afraid that she will be tortured enough.
"That's right." Yun Songyi took out a letter and handed it to Chu Xi: "This letter was given to you by the abbot, and this, my grandfather asked me to give it to you" Yun Songyi took out a jade plaque from his sleeve.
Chu Xi looked at the jade card and was stunned: "This is"
"My grandfather privately bought a lot of Zhuangzi shops, I heard him say what kind of people he has cultivated, I don't understand, my grandfather said you can see for yourself, from now on, these are all for you." Yun Songyi pushed both the token and the letter in front of her.
Chu Xi looked at this token, and was a little suspicious, which one did Old Man Yan sing, did he make himself Yi'er's umbrella? He didn't miss the chance to protect his granddaughter, cunning old man.
Yun Songyi saw that Chu Xi's face was difficult, and hurriedly said, "Sister Xi'er, don't worry." I know what my grandfather means, he wants you to help me in the future, but don't worry, I will marry Li Xiao obediently, and I won't cause any trouble, you can keep these things, I don't need to leave or right, even if I take them to the Li Mansion, sooner or later I will be defeated. Yun Songyi grinned: "And my grandfather actually left me the most valuable money house, don't worry about the dowry or something, you don't have to worry about it at all." ”
Chu Xi looked at her and chuckled, there are so many money houses in the capital, she never knew that there was a Yan Mansion, where did Boss Yan get the money house for her? This silly girl.
"Go pack up, let's go out." Chu Xi said, Elder Yan's action, I'm afraid it's really going to be gone.
"Where?" Yun Songyi was puzzled, Chu Xi directly asked people to bring the robe and cloak over, and said with a smile: "Go to Hanshan Temple!" ”
Yun Songyi was surprised, and before he could persuade him, Chu Xi walked to the door, but they didn't even step out of the door, and they were blocked by the thirty people in the Hou Mansion.
