Chapter 61: Calculation

The entrance of Ruyi Garden was a little cold, first Chu Bingsong, who had never said much about Qin Xue, lost his temper with her because of his aunt, and then the old lady directly promoted the position of the fourth lady, and even the two concubines made mistakes one after another.

Chu Xi followed her mother-in-law all the way forward, she was very familiar with here, when her mother was there before

Chu Zhen stopped, in her previous life, Chu Zhenzhen said that her mother was also a kind person who was killed by being a human with her limbs broken

"Miss, what's wrong?" The mother-in-law was a little surprised when she saw Chu Xi's face suddenly turn white and pant slightly.

Chu Xi closed her eyes and waved her hand, and after adjusting her mood, she raised her head and walked forward slowly.

When Chu Xi arrived, Qin Xue was crooked on the warm couch, her sick face was covered by a thick layer of fat powder, and when she saw Chu Xi coming in, her face turned cold: "The big girl is here." ”

Chu Xi still saluted respectfully, as if nothing happened to the Yan Mansion.

Qin Xue looked at the inner room, and her tone softened: "I heard Tai'er say, you seem to have some misunderstanding with him?" ”

"Misunderstanding?" Chu Xi raised her head innocently: "I have never seen my eldest brother, how can there be a misunderstanding." ”

Qin Xue asked people to sit up from the couch and stared at her: "Haven't you seen it?" Don't lie to your mother, Tyre will tell you everything when she comes back. After that, he paused, and said: "I didn't call you over this time to punish you, but I just felt that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between you and Tai'er, so I specially called you over to ask." Your grandfather's family has nothing to rely on now, and if you marry out in the future, you have to rely on these brothers and sisters to help you, right? ”

Qin Xue's words were natural, but Chu Xi didn't eat her: "The eldest brother was only drunk yesterday and wanted to break into my pavilion, and he said a lot of nonsense, but I didn't take it to heart, why did my mother suddenly say that I had a dislike for my eldest brother?" ”

Qin Xue looked at Chu Ji, who didn't admit to threatening Chu Qitai with a hairpin in the Yan Mansion at all, and secretly misunderstood, Tai'er was right, she was really very smart and cunning: "Oh, yes, is it that Tai'er came to me to talk nonsense, and I will punish him well when I turn around." ”

Chu Ji smiled lightly, with a hint of urgency in her expression, and said, "Mother asked Ji'er to come over, but is there anything else?" ”

Seeing this, Qin Xue's straight body softened a little: "It's okay, can't I ask you to come and talk to my mother?" You've been back home for so long, I've been busy with other things, and I haven't had time to talk to you, and now you're fourteen years old, and you're old enough to get married."

"Grandmother said this before." Chu Xi cut off her words, do you still want to influence her marriage in this life: "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that the second sister has something like that, and my mother should find someone for the second sister to find a family, so that it will save a long time and cause trouble." After all, I heard that day."

"How can there be a reason for a sister to marry in front of her sister." Qin Xue's eyes turned cold.

Chu Xi smiled: "I don't mind, as long as the second sister is good." "It's best to marry the King of Freedom in a high-profile manner after being ruined!

Chu Xi looked at Qin Xue, and saw that the corners of her eyes kept looking inside, and she knew in her heart: "By the way, mother, do you know Cousin Li Xiao?" ”

The palms of the people in the room were slightly tight, and Qin Xue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Your cousin Xiao is indeed a good boy, if your father promotes him, the future is limitless, you have a daughter's family, how can you mention a foreign man?" After that, the conversation changed: "You're not right Xiao'er"

"Mother misunderstood." Chu Ji became more and more sure of the identity of the person inside, she was in such a hurry to 'invite' herself, was it just to reveal her true face in front of that person. Although Li Xiao is frugal, her mother is very good at managing money, and she has saved a lot of money over the years, Qin Xue must be playing with the idea of this silver, but I don't know how it will be involved in herself. But God helped her: "It was a while ago that my cousin and my second sister seemed to have a misunderstanding, thinking that I had a good relationship with my second sister, so I came to Zhujing Pavilion and asked, I have a daughter's house, I didn't dare to stay longer, but I invited my cousin out after half a cup of tea, and I don't know if my cousin was angry with me." ”

Qin Xue's body was slightly stiff, when did Zhen Zhen have something to do with Li Xiao's kid who didn't have half an official position, although his family had a lot of property, but his mother was extremely thrifty, and all the money was saved to come to the capital to buy a big house, a stupid woman.

"Yes, Zhen Zhen never said it, I'm afraid it's a joke between children." Qin Xue wanted to bring it over with a joke, but Chu Xi looked at the person in the room who couldn't bear to walk to the door, lowered her eyes and smiled: "Xu Yes, the second sister is not yet fourteen this year." ”

Although he is less than fourteen, he is still a child.

Qin Xue looked at Chu Xi, who seemed to be unintentional but poked at the main point, and directly glanced at the mother-in-law next to her, the mother-in-law nodded slightly, turned her head and went out, and after a while, she saw Chu Qitai walking in.

As soon as Chu Qitai saw Chu Ji, he was like seeing a ghost, and hurriedly took a few steps back: "Big sister"

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Chu Xi looked at him puzzled, there seemed to be a grievance in Yingying's eyes, and he sat alone beside Qin Xue, who had a slightly gloomy face, which made people feel pitiful.

Seeing that Chu Qitai was stunned, Qin Xue hurriedly coughed, Chu Qitai came back to his senses and raised his hand to cover his neck: "Big sister, I don't dare to drink nonsense anymore, and ask my big sister to let me go." ”

"What is this big brother talking about, how dare you worry about big brother. If the eldest brother refers to the fact that you broke into my yard the day before yesterday, Ji'er is not angry, really" Chu Xi tried her best to defend herself. It's more like being afraid of Qin Xue and having to do it.

Chu Qitai saw that she didn't admit it, he couldn't bear the anger in his heart at all, and forgave her for not daring to make a move in Ruyiyuan, so he walked directly to her and grabbed her, pointing to his chin: "I mean here, you took a hairpin and said that you wanted to pierce my head, the eldest sister has such a bad memory?" ”

Chu Qitai stood in front of Chu Xi, and also blocked all the eyes that looked at her, the corners of his mouth were indifferent, and he looked at him without making a sound: "I said it, I will definitely do it!" ”

Chu Qitai is not a patient person who can endure it, and when Chu Ji provoked her like this, he raised his hand and pinched her neck.

Chu Xi gritted her teeth slightly, secretly calculating the time when the green sprouts found Chunzhi, and then Chunzhi invited the old lady to hide the fierceness on her face: "Big brother, what did I do wrong?"

"You"

"Qitai, what are you doing!" Qin Xue said busily.

Chu Qitai frowned: "Mother." She threatened me just now! ”

Qin Xue stood up, looked at Chu Xi, who was only uncomfortable on her face, and her face was cold: "Don't let go yet!" ”

Chu Qitai hesitated for a while, and then let go of his hand hatefully.

Chu Xi's face was flushed, her body was easy to leave bruises when touched, and now as soon as Chu Qitai let go, there were large bruises on her neck, which was extremely terrifying.

"Mother, if there is nothing else to do, Ji'er will go to grandmother first." Chu Ji finished coughing before he said.

Qin Xue thought she was going to sue, and sighed: "You also know your big brother's temperament, reckless and impulsive, but he loves you the most on weekdays, who dares to bully you, your big brother is the first to help you deal with it, how are you?"

Chu Qitai also came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "Big sister, it's me"

Chu Xi was too lazy to listen to their acting, and the people in the room should have a judgment in their hearts now, but they only needed another dose of fierce medicine.

"No, my mother misunderstood my grandmother, I heard that Cousin Li Xiao was in trouble, so I heard that"

"What did you say happened to Xiao'er?" Chu Ji's voice did not fall, and a plain woman rushed out of the room, around forty years old, I also saw it when I had a reunion dinner during the New Year, the young daughter of Mrs. Chu, when the Chu family had not yet developed, she only married a showman, and then Chu Bingsong developed, so he picked a county official to send him, but he was a dead student, he didn't know how to be an official at all, and he was squeezed out of it in less than two years.

"Little aunt." Chu Ji was stunned.

Li Chushi hurriedly helped her up: "Good boy, what do you say is wrong with your cousin?" Her eyes were full of anxiety, although Chu Xi couldn't bear to hide it from her, but she had a deep hatred of blood, so she could only make them suffer a little: "I, I heard" Chu Xi's lips trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Chu Qitai: "I sent Yahuan out to buy some silk flowers today, and she saw her cousin in front of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, saying that her cousin brought a woman and was pregnant with a child, and she was making trouble in front of the Eighth Prince's Mansion." ”

"How come" Li Chushi was also blind, and turned his head to look at Chu Qitai: "Tai'er, didn't you say that you have a good relationship with the eldest prince and the Xiaoyao King, can you go and beg the eldest prince and the Xiaoyao King to save my Xiao'er." ”

Chu Qitai hurriedly threw off his sleeves, and said in a disdainful tone: "Little aunt, it's not that I don't help you, it's just that you offended the Eighth Prince, who in the court doesn't know that the Eighth Prince doesn't like to mess around the most, and he has always been cold-blooded, don't say that the eldest prince and the Xiaoyao King are very busy on weekdays, even if they have time, they don't have to offend the Eighth Prince for a person who just came from the countryside and doesn't know where, don't you say?" ”

Li Chu's family didn't know the situation in Beijing, but when he heard Chu Qitai's words, he was cold, and turned his head to look at Qin Xue again: "Sister-in-law, please come forward to help talk about this matter, I heard Xiao'er say that the eighth prince likes to go to Dingguo Mansion the most."

"I won't tell you the truth, the Dingguo Mansion is now all up to my stepmother, and I can't interject a sentence from a young lady" Qin Xue was embarrassed, but she was telling the truth.

Li Chu's face turned pale with anger, and Chu Xi pursed his lips slightly: "Whether it succeeds or not, my brother and mother will write to ask first?" Can it be done? The eldest prince has always loved the eldest brother and the second sister, maybe, maybe look at the face of the eldest brother"

Chu Qitai has no status in front of the eldest prince and the king of Xiaoyao, and now he is praised by Chu Ji. Naturally, he was happy: "Although the eldest sister has a point, but" He wanted to admit this false name but didn't want to go to the eldest prince to touch his nose: "Little aunt, I'm going to take the Spring Festival exam soon, if I offend the eighth prince because of this, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" ”

Li Chu's heart became more and more chilling, and he looked at Qin Xue dissatisfied: "I have the same experience with my sister-in-law now, the prime minister's house is all up to my stepmother, and I don't have half a miss for a young lady."

"Who said that the prime minister's house is all up to the stepmother!" A cold voice came from outside the house, Qin Xue only felt a little dizzy, after the family went out today, it happened that Li Chu's family came back, so she quietly invited her to her courtyard. She was a very talkative person in front of the old lady, she originally planned to let her see Chu Xi's true face clearly, and then she told the old lady, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Mother, my sister-in-law has misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?" Li Chu's voice was a little sharp, she was most similar to the old lady, suspicious but steady. Now, if it weren't for Li Xiao, he would never have torn his face with Qin Xue.

Li Chu's family roughly talked about Fang Cai's affairs, including how Qin Xue's mother and son framed Chu Xi, and how they couldn't save them when they died.

Old Madam Chu glanced at Chu Xi's shocking neck, and frowned tightly: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you send the eldest lady home?" ”

Green Sprout's eyes were red early, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help Chu Xi, Chu Xi still saluted in a proper manner before leaving, and then left, but after delaying for so long, Li Xiao was afraid that something would happen.

Qin Xue is not worried here, although Li Chu's family looks kind on the outside, he is by no means a weak and easy to bully.

Out of Ruyi Garden, Chu Ji exhaled with a headache: "Go back." ”

"Isn't the young lady going to find the old lady?"

"No need." Chu Ji turned his head to look at Chunzhi: "Thank you Sister Chunzhi this time." ”

Chunzhi lowered his head: "These are the duties of slaves. ”

Chu Xi smiled and no longer dwelled on this topic.

"Is the green sandalwood back?"

"Not yet, maybe I'm playful again." Green Sprout Road.

Chu Xi bowed slightly, didn't say more, and went back to the Pavilion to rest, so many things happened today. She was tired. Thinking about this period of time, he only broke Qin Xue's two mothers-in-law, but he exposed himself too much, and he also provoked the eighth prince.

Thinking of the Eighth Prince, Chu Ji became more and more headaches, she didn't want to get involved in the royal entanglement, not to mention the troubles of the Eighth Prince, and the men were all lucky, even if they were full of satisfaction now, how long could they last? Not to mention the Eighth Prince, the kind of person who has to exchange everything, she knows her own weight, the Chu Mansion is dedicated to supporting King Xiaoyao, she can't bring anything to the Eighth Prince, even if the Eighth Prince can accept it, the concubine Niangniang will definitely not be able to accept it, and then it will be another bloody storm.

She will have to be more careful to avoid the Eighth Prince in the future.

After a nightmare, I woke up tired the next day, and the green buds and the green sandalwood that I hadn't seen all night came early to wait. Chunzhi accidentally caught the wind and cold, and Chu Xi allowed her to rest and not use it to serve, but she also got quiet.

Lu Tan cautiously looked at Chu Xi, who was slowly drinking porridge one by one, gritted his teeth, and said tentatively: "Miss, my cousin was thrown into prison." ”

Chu Xi's hand paused slightly, she had already thought of it, but she didn't speak, and continued to drink porridge.

Lu Tan didn't give up, and said: "I watched the whole process yesterday, don't you want to know what the relationship between your cousin and that woman is?" ”

Chu Xi put down the spoon, rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands before looking at her leisurely: "What do you want to say?" ”

Lu Tan's face turned red: "Miss, do you really have no intention of your cousin?" ”

Chu Xi smiled: "If you don't say it, I also know that my cousin has nothing to do with that woman at all." ”

Lu Ya slandered in his heart, but smiled: "Miss is smart." ”

"You mean to call me ruthless." Chu Xi glanced at her lightly, and Lu Tan looked away with some weakness: "You don't care about your cousin at all, what's wrong with your cousin?" ”

Lu Ya listened anxiously: "Lu Tan, you didn't say what you had or didn't have, just talk about what happened yesterday, and whether you sent the letter." ”

Lu Tan glared at her, patted her clothes and moved the small pestle and sat down on the side: "You are more anxious than Miss." After Lu Tan finished speaking, he saw that Lu Ya was about to beat her, and hurriedly said: "I said, I said, that afternoon, the woman really had a seizure, and after making a big fuss at the door, she saw red, and shouted that it was the mother-in-law in the Eighth Prince's Mansion who beat her child alive, and she shouted whoever came to pull her in." The Eighth Prince is going to kill people and kill his mouth', the Eighth Prince has always had a good name, so naturally he couldn't forcibly drag her in, and finally the cousin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he didn't know whether to follow the Prime Minister into the house or stay, and finally he was hugged by this woman and begged to be the master for her."

Lu Tan understated, and Lu Ya was surprised: "It's not that this woman is really pregnant with the child of the Eighth Prince, otherwise how dare she make trouble, and you don't have to think about it." It's going to be a loss of life. ”

Chu Xi smiled slightly, ordinary people do think like this, the eighth prince in his previous life also did it very neatly, and after solving the woman, he buried it, and there was news in the market that the eighth prince was weak.

Although this strategy was not on the table, it really made the Eighth Prince suffer a loss.

"Hey, after the Eighth Prince came back from the palace, when he saw this, he was so angry that his face was blue, you didn't see it, the Eighth Prince was so handsome, he was as angry as a black bread man."

"Has your letter been delivered?" Chu Xi asked her.

When Lu Tan heard this, he hurriedly straightened up: "I, I"

"Didn't deliver?"

"Not really." Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi in embarrassment, just when he was about to send it, he was tripped and fell, and when I got up, the letter was gone.

"Nope!" Chu Ji frowned, if such an object is discovered by others

"But," Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi timidly. I looked around the street, and then I was taken to a remote alley by a good-looking girl, and asked me to return this to Miss, and said that please be careful next time, and the Eighth Prince's Mansion is a person who specializes in recognizing handwriting, and if you want to convey it, she will arrange someone to say it. ”

Chu Xi looked at the letter that had been opened, and her heart lifted, she was indeed eager to save people, but she also paid attention to changing the font, in her previous life, King Xiaoyao personally taught her to imitate other people's handwriting, but no one in this life knew her skill.

"Who's that girl?" Chu Xi asked.

Lu Tan shrunk his neck: "I didn't ask, I thought that the girl would want to know when I came back, so I drew a portrait of her overnight, and the girl would see if she could know her" After that, Lu Tan shyly took out a piece of paper from his chest that had fallen into a tofu block.

Green Sprout stepped forward to take it, spread it out in front of Chu Xi, and when she saw the portrait inside, she almost couldn't straighten up with a smile: "Green Sandalwood." Are you drawing people or horses? ”

"I didn't learn to draw, that's all I can do." Green Sandalwood blushed shyly and lowered her head to play with her fingers.

Chu Xi smiled helplessly: "Do you remember what characteristics that person has?" ”

"White skin, big eyes, majestic chest and delicate waist, a smile is amorous, such a girl, if she goes to the Qinglou, it will be a proper top brand"

Chu Xi looked at the green sprouts who were about to die with laughter, and knew that Lu Tan couldn't say anything, so he had to wave his hand: "Since the eighth prince knows, then the cousin will be fine, what about the other things I asked you to inquire about?" ”

"I heard it, I heard it." Lu Tan hurriedly said: "This bad-hearted guy, he likes to go to the gambling house the most, I heard that the gambling products are very poor, and he often cheats, others look at him as the prime minister's son, and let him score three points, but there are two grudges that are quite deep, and a young son of Yunshang Shufu is a girl who has fallen in love with him in the same flower building; The other is a ruffian, Chu Qitai saw that he was a grass man, and often took his money by tricks, and I heard that he broke one of his legs some time ago, and forced his wife to hang himself before he stopped. ”

Lu Tan said indignantly, it's okay if Chu Qitai doesn't come back, but as soon as he comes back, he will harm people everywhere.

"Who did you say was the girl who was fighting with the Yun family?" Chu asked leisurely.

"I haven't asked this clearly, that girl seems to be still a clear child, and she hasn't budded." Green Sandalwood Road.

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth hooked up a trace of evil spirit: "You go and find out the identity of that girl, and then ask her how much the ransom is, and after asking, just tell the old bustard twice as much that you want to redeem her, and say that your son-in-law ordered it." ”

Lu Tan blinked, and seemed to understand something, Chu Qitai has been very short of money recently.

"Don't worry, the slave and maid will go back and find two reliable ones to redeem the girl for the son, and this ransom will not stop until it reaches 10,000 taels!"

Lu Ya opened her mouth in surprise, but Chu Xi was satisfied and brought to her all the golden silk dates on the table: "One point." ”

"That's what the girl taught." Green sandalwood squinted and ate sweet dates. After a while, Xiao Fu'er ran in from outside with a happy face: "Girl, Miss Yun is here and says that she invites you to go out together." ”

"Which young lady of the Yun family?" Green Sprout said nervously.

Xiao Fu'er naturally heard about the previous incident, and hurriedly said, "It's the Miss Yun who lives in Yan Mansion." ”

Chu Xi thought about it for a while, and was about to refuse, so she saw Yahuan come in again: "Girl, Mrs. Li sent someone to ask, you have time in a while, Mrs. Li wants to invite a few young ladies to talk." ”

Chu Xi had a headache, Li Chu was a smart person, and after she got into a fight with Qin Xue, she knew that she would come to find out the bottom of their concubines first, but she didn't want to be used as a spear by Li Chu.

"Let's just say that Miss Fang Cai Yun came to invite, but Miss couldn't refuse, and was about to ask the old lady to ask for an order to go out." Green Shoots is clever.

Yahuan took the order to go out, and Xiao Fu'er went to the old lady to tell the situation. The old lady was hoping that Chu Xi would get through with these powerful families, and she had little contact with the powerful ladies in Beijing because of the old lady's affairs. Although Hou Qin Xue likes to go out, she is always going to the people who like to hold her, but she has no face in ordinary big families.

Chu Ji got the order, so he went out, just to breathe.

In the carriage, Yun Songyi looked at Chu Xi with a smile: "Sister Xi'er really looks good in everything, she looks very refreshing and neat, and her temperament makes people feel rich and noble." ”

Chu Xi looked at Yun Songyi as if her mouth had been smeared with honey, and smiled: "Where are we going?" ”

"I heard that there are a few new satins in Ruyi Fang today, let's go there first, and then go to Jinghualou to listen to Duan Qu'er and have a good meal."

Chu Xi didn't come out for a long time, so she arranged it. After a short time, the carriage arrived at Ruyi Fang.

The embroidery lady standing at the door immediately invited the two to the private room, and moved the satin out one by one for the two to take a closer look. ”

Chu Xi's eyebrows raised slightly, that was natural. Ruyifang is not really buying clothes.

"Miss Yun, Miss Chu." A coquettish and somewhat refreshing voice came, Lu Tan and Yun Songyi raised their heads at the same time, only to see the pink skirt that appeared by the door, Lu Tan's eyes widened: "It's her." ”

Chu Xi looked back at her, and saw that Lu Tan hurriedly pointed to her chest and wanted to stop talking, Chu Xi knew that what she said was that the person in her portrait was Mei Niang, the second master of this Ruyi Fang, but she painted a beauty like Mei Niang as a horse, and Lu Tan also had the ability.

"Hey, this is the new girl ring next to Miss Chu?" Mei Niang didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it.

Chu Ji looked at her frank appearance, a little puzzled, but Yun Songyi spoke first: "I like this girl, she is actually a fist and kicker, I asked my mother to find me such a place to put around, but my mother refused to say anything." ”

Chu Ji looked back at Lu Tan, how did Yun Songyi know that she could punch and kick.

Midori Tan coughed, lowered his head and did not speak. Before, she looked around for the right person to protect herself for two years, and she was against Yun Songyi. The two also fought, but Yun Songyi learned martial arts not long and was defeated in three or two strokes.

Mei Niang's smile became bigger and bigger, and she looked at Chu Xi: "It's rare to see a girl who can punch and kick, the eldest lady is so blessed." ”

Chu Xi heard the meaning of her words, could it be that Ruyi Fang even had information about green sandalwood?

Lu Tan's head was about to be pierced into the ground, Chu Xi didn't ask her, Mei Niang beckoned the two to sit down, and let people bring the newly arrived cloth, Yun Songyi was happy, but Chu Xi didn't choose.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? Yun Songyi asked.

Chu Xi smiled faintly: "The money in the temple was swallowed up by those sisters-in-law before, and now that I have just returned home, although I have issued some silver for the New Year, I am afraid that it will not be enough to buy these satins." ”

Yun Songyi was stunned, a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually said that she couldn't afford two satins in her pocket.

"I'll help you out"

"No need, there are sisters at home, how can these two skins of satin be enough, besides, I don't lack clothes to wear now." Chu Xi smiled, without the slightest embarrassment.

Yun Songyi looked at her like this, and liked it more and more: "Okay, I won't give you satin, I'll ask Mei Niang to help make two sets of clothes and send them to you." ”

Chu Xi looked at her firmly, but she didn't refuse, and pointed to a plain embroidered satin of medium level: "Just this one." ”

Yun Songyi couldn't resist her, so she agreed, and the two of them stayed here for a while before setting off for Jinghua Tower.

Mei Niang sent a few people away, no longer mentioning the matter of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and after everyone left, she went to the next door to the private room of Fang Cai Chu and their private room, looked at the man who was lazily playing with the jade pendant in his hand, and stepped forward to salute: "Master, the Eighth Prince's Mansion has already asked people to take Miss Chu out." ”

"Hmm." Lin Qingyu's expression was indifferent, and he didn't have half a minute of the previous cynicism: "Tell me to go down, this line of the Eighth Prince's Mansion is closely watched, and it is best to let him find the eldest prince directly." ”

Mei Niang raised her eyes to look at him: "Are you planning to help the Eighth Prince?" Didn't Master Hou tell you not to meddle in the affairs of the royal family? ”

Lin Qingyu looked at the carriage slowly departing downstairs with a faint expression: "If he really didn't let me take care of it, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to let me come to the capital." "Helping the Eighth Prince is to fight the Great Prince, and to fight the Great Prince is to fight the King of Ease, very good.

How did Mei Niang know what he was thinking about: "Yes, Mei Niang will arrange it." ”

"Hmm." Lin Qingyu's thin lips raised a slight arc: "The color that the girl fancied, I asked the water lady to help me do it, and I sent it all." ”

Mei Niang looked at him strangely: "Master, your offensive is too fierce, I'm afraid that Miss Chu will be disgusted, after all, she is still a girl who has not left the cabinet."

Lin Qingyu frowned in distress: "Then you look at it, I have to give her these clothes anyway." After that, he stood up, the tall figure stood in front of Mei Niang, Mei Niang actually raised her head slightly to look at him, a slight fragrance came, Mei Niang's palms tightened, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at his deep eyes: "Yes." ”

"Hmm." With that, Lin Qingyu walked away.

He walked for a long time, Mei Niang was still standing in place, the smile on Fang Cai's face was completely gone, biting her lip slightly, and finally she only turned into a sigh, turned her head and went out to order.

Jinghualou is the most gorgeous and expensive restaurant in the capital, ordinary people are nobles, I heard that the Jinghualou is just an ordinary businessman, who is behind it is not clear, but there is really no one who dares to cause trouble here, and I don't know why.

Yun Songyi was familiar with the way and took Chu Ji to the second floor, wanting to go to the private room by the lake, but he didn't want to be occupied.

"Didn't I tell you I was coming, how did I let people take my place!" Yun Songyi said dissatisfied.

Xiao Er hurriedly smiled: "Miss Yun, the private room is really full, and you haven't come for a long time, and a noble person has come to ask for a private room, so it's just."

The people inside probably heard the sound and made people come out, and as soon as they came out, Chu Xi felt the killing intent all over his body: "Who." ”

"Which one are you!" Yun Songyi directly slammed it over.

Chu Xi pressed Yun Songyi's hand, stepped forward and said, "I don't know that there are nobles inside, please forgive me if there is any offense." ”

Yun Songyi was skeptical, but didn't say more, the man looked at the two, nodded, closed the door and went back.

Chu Xi pulled her: "Why don't you go to the lobby and sit, let's choose a seat near the window and sit down." ”

Yun Songyi wanted to speak, after all, the Yan Mansion is a big family in Beijing, even the princes have to be polite, although she has not been messing around since she was a child, but it is obvious that she can't bear to be bullied.

When they arrived in the lobby, Xiao Er hurriedly chose a corner place for the two to sit down, and Chu Xi said: "You still have studied kung fu for two years, don't you know how powerful that person is?" ”

was said by Chu Ji like this, Yun Songyi pouted: "He is a big man, and he can still do something to a delicate little lady like me." ”

Chu Xi chuckled. Turning his head to look at the green sandalwood who was scared into a cold sweat: "Green sandalwood green buds, you go to the table next to you to rest and order some food." ”

Lu Tan nodded like pounding garlic, if he really got up, if that person really did it, he would inevitably be beaten down in just three moves, and that murderous aura was really frightening.

Chu Xi saw that Yun Songyi was relieved, and then said, "Can you see the big red python suit exposed by the man's cuffs?" ”

"How do you know it's a big red python suit?" The man was clearly dressed in ordinary clothes.

Chu Xi had seen a lot in the palace in her previous life, so she could naturally recognize the material embroidery at a glance, but it was not easy to explain it to her more, and she said a few words: "That person is straight, his eyes are sharp, and he is full of murderous aura, only ordinary generals who kill a lot have such momentum, but when have you ever heard that there is such a young general in my dynasty?" ”

"You mean, that person is from the palace" Yun Songyi made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Chu Xi nodded, and Yun Songyi broke out in a cold sweat in fear: "The people in that room are not as simple as the prince." That could be the emperor."

"Hmm." Chu Xi interrupted her: "Don't talk about the affairs of the heavenly family, think about what to eat." ”

Yun Songyi was relieved when he heard that he had eaten, and began to put his mind on the dishes.

After a while, a group of people came down from the second floor, and there were attendants with solemn and vigilant faces standing around, and in the middle was a woman with a knee-length veil hat, because of the white veil, Chu Xi couldn't see the person's face clearly, just when Chu Xi felt that this figure seemed familiar, the woman seemed to have a feeling, and also looked at Chu Xi, and when she met that look, Zhen Niang's face immediately appeared in Chu Xi's mind.

Yun Songyi also sensed this strange atmosphere, and touched the cup in his hand, and the cup fell to the ground, making a harsh sound.

The woman smiled and turned away.

Chu Xi's face was slightly condensed, how could Zhen Niang appear here at this time, did she already plan to stay in the capital and join forces with King Xiaoyao? But why did she join forces with the King of Freedom, and why didn't she choose the Eighth Prince?

Chu Xi couldn't figure it out, but she had to check it, if Zhen Niang was willing to help the Eighth Prince, then the Eighth Prince would be like a tiger.

Not long after, another group of people came down from the second floor, and it turned out to be the eldest prince, the king of Xiaoyao and the eighth prince surrounded by a man about sixty years old.

When Chu Xi saw that face, she felt sick in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Zhao Xuanyi also saw Chu Xi, his eyes showed joy, and he turned to look at the personal servant behind him: "Tell her and let her wait for me for a while." ”

The little guy bowed his head and quietly retreated.

When King Xiaoyao heard the movement here, his expression moved slightly, did the eighth child fall in love with the big girl of the Chu family?

King Xiaoyao pulled the corners of his mouth with some disdain, and looked at Chu Xi not far away, she seemed to be dressed up a little today. It is much brighter than the ragged old clothes that day, and it is also much better looking than the appearance of losing her soul in the Yan Mansion, the daughter of the Chu family, one is really more interesting than the other.

Chu Ji had already planned to drag Yun Songyi away, but the eighth prince's servant had already stopped her: "Miss Chu, my grandfather's private room is invited." ”

"Who is your grandfather?" Yun Songyi stepped forward and protected Chu Xi behind him.

"Eighth Master." The little guy said respectfully.

Yun Song Yiergen red: "Yes, it's the Eight Emperors"

"Two young ladies, please." The little guy leaned to the side, and Yun Songyi smiled and bent his eyes: "Okay!" ”

Chu Xi was dumbfounded, but if she wanted to hide today, she couldn't hide, with Yun Songyi on the left and right, the Eighth Prince should not do anything out of the ordinary, so he was relieved, but his heart was bitter.

At the gate of Jinghua Building, as soon as the emperor left, Zhao Xunyan, the king of leisure, called the eighth prince: "Old eight, the matter of the woman in your house can be dealt with, why don't we discuss it together?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi's face was cold: "No need." With that, he turned his head and went inside.

The eldest prince was a little dissatisfied with his attitude: "The attitude of the eighth child is becoming more and more arrogant, if he has to ascend to the high position one day, where will we still have a way to live." ”

Zhao Xunyan smiled: "He has a beautiful woman in his heart, and the eldest prince is not careful." ”

"Beauty?" The eldest prince laughed, waved his hand and glanced at the others: "Uncle Huang seems to know something." ”

Zhao Xunyan smiled: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, didn't the eldest prince say that he was trying to take a side concubine." ”

The eldest prince's eyes lit up slightly: "Didn't the imperial uncle say before that he wouldn't let me stuff women into the mansion again." ”

Zhao Xunyan's smile was still the same: "That's hoping that the eldest prince won't stuff some useless women anymore, and the useful ones are different."

The eldest prince was naturally happy, and got into the carriage and let him go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't see Zhao Xunyan looking at him with both disdain and some sympathy.

Chu Xi drank tea with a calm face, thinking about how to deal with it for a while, Yun Songyi was a little restless: "Sister Xi'er, do you think I look good today." ”

Chu Xi looked at Yun Songyi, who was excited, and frowned slightly: "Yi'er is interested in the Eighth Prince?" ”

"Hmm." Even though Yun Songyi was ordinary and cheerful, he blushed at this moment: "The Eighth Prince is both handsome and handsome, and there are a few who don't like it. ”

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, this silly girl just liked his appearance, and there was still salvation.

After a while, the eighth prince pushed the door and came in, but his face was very unpleasant, because with his steps, there was a man dressed in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, which had a bit of the charm of a merry son.

Lin Qingyu naturally sat down next to Chu Xi, the Eighth Prince stared at him with a dark face, he seemed to be unconscious, let people serve good tea, and looked at the Eighth Prince with a smile: "I heard that there was a woman making trouble at your door yesterday?" ”

The Eighth Prince's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak, someone from the Eighth Prince's Mansion handed over the news outside, saying that he had found something and asked him to go back quickly.

The eighth prince looked at Chu Xi, who was drinking tea with his head down, and his face turned cold: "Miss Chu, see you next time." ”

The Eighth Prince's face was cold, and when he heard this, it was like a warning in the ears of others.

Several people hurriedly got up and saluted, and the eighth prince looked at Lin Qingyu, who happened to have taken advantage of the loophole, and wanted to say but didn't know what to say, so he threw off his robe and left.

Chu Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Qingyu also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at a few people with a smile: "I heard that there is a lantern exhibition today, do you want to go out and take a look?" ”

"Can we go?" Yun Songyi is a lively person, and as soon as there is excitement, he immediately forgets Fang Cai's reluctance.

Lin Qingyu looked at her with a smile: "Naturally, those who put river lanterns, dance big drums, make butter tea, and sing small songs are fun." ”

Yun Songyi listened to the moon and slapped the table briskly: "Let's go!" ”

Chu Ji had a big head, but Lin Qingyu quietly turned sideways and said, "I heard that the drunken moon girl in Qingfeng Building is making her debut today, don't you want to take a look?" ”

The drunken moon girl in Qingfeng Building?

Chu Xi looked at him suspiciously, the drunken moon he said was not the one Lu Tan said

Receiving a positive answer in Lin Qingyu's eyes, Chu Xi thought slightly, nodded, turned his head and sent the green sprouts back to tell the old lady that he would come back later.

When he turned his head, he saw Lin Qingyu's fox-like eyes glowing with a terrifying light.
