Chapter XXVII: Insult
After Chu Xiuxiu's incident, Chu Xi finally got two days of quiet life, in the end, with the identity of Miss Yan, Qin Xueming didn't dare to do too much, because it was approaching the end of the year, and the house was going to receive guests, so he also asked people to prepare clothes and jewelry for Chu Xiu.
There are people in the capital who make clothes and jewelry, and they are all looking for the best Linglong Fang in the city, and Prime Minister Chu's Mansion even invited the second master of Linglong Fang.
"Mei Niang has seen the big girl."
I heard a charming female voice from afar, Chu Xi looked at the person who came, wearing a pink wide-sleeved cross-collar long skirt, with delicate peach blossoms embroidered on the neckline, and a piece of mutton fat jade pendant around her waist.
Chu Xi knows this person, Linglong Fang is ostensibly doing jewelry and clothing trading for dignitaries, but in private it is a good hand at listening to the news, in the previous life, King Xiaoyao tried to win over several times and finally failed, before she was imprisoned, she also heard that Linglong Fang evaporated like the world overnight, so that the people sent by King Xiaoyao to check it were empty.
Just when Chu Xi was looking at Mei Niang, Mei Niang was also looking at her. Seeing that she was slender but resolute, her complexion was yellow due to malnutrition, but the whole person gave people the feeling of dignity and inviolability, and under her delicate and slightly flattering facial features was hidden indifference and disdain.
Interesting.
"Big girl, now I want to give you a weight?" Mei Niang asked with a smile.
Chu Xi looked at her big and charming eyes, and her lips raised slightly: "Okay." ”
Mei Niang measured the size of Chu Xi very neatly, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what color the girl likes?" ”
"White." Chu Xi said lightly.
Mei Niang was a little surprised, most of the ordinary ladies like pink and yellow, but the second miss of Chu Mansion loves pure white, and now she actually chose white.
"What about jewelry?" Mei Niang asked as she took out a stack of style drawings of jewelry.
"Three taels of hostas are enough."
Mei Niang was a little surprised: "Don't you want jade pendants, bracelets, gold and silver Zhuchai?" ”
Chu Xi smiled lightly: "No need." "In my previous life, I wore a lot of these things, and I got tired of them.
Mei Niang's eyes flashed slightly, and the eldest lady of the Chu family, whom the master specially explained to take care of, was so indifferent to her money, which became more and more interesting.
Mei Niang saluted Chu Xi: "Don't worry, big girl, Linglong Fang will deliver your things within three days." ”
After she finished speaking, she left, neither looking around nor probing too much, which was different from the second shopkeeper of Linglong Fang that Chu Xi knew in her previous life. But thinking that she didn't appear in his plan, he didn't care much.
In the evening, the green buds who came back from fetching food had red eyes, both cheeks were red and swollen, and there was still a little blood on the corners of his mouth.
Chu Xi frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
Green Bud held back the sourness in her throat: "Miss, I saw Mother Shen." ”
"Mother Shen?" Chu Xi's hand shook while holding the book, Shen's mother was the dowry grandmother of her biological mother Yang Pei, she loved herself very much when she was a child, but after leaving home to go to the nunnery, she lost contact with the people in the house, and this time when she came back, she couldn't find any of the people around her biological mother before.
"I just passed by the laundry room, and saw that the maid ring next to my wife was forcing the crippled mother-in-law in the laundry room to bite the hot charcoal with her mouth, I looked too much, so I wanted to talk about it, but who knew that I recognized Shen's mother." Green Sprouts wept silently.
Chu Xi's palms were slightly tight, looking at the red and swollen face of the green buds, and went straight to the laundry room, when she arrived, a maid was stepping on the head of the person on the ground with her foot into the pile of hot coals that flickered and dimmed, the old man seemed to be unable to scream, and his hoarse voice could only beg for mercy weakly and weakly.
Green Bud rushed forward and pushed the girl ring away, and turned around to protect the emaciated Mother Shen on the ground in her arms.
"Yo, who should I be, you little with no eyes!" Yahuan, who was pushed away, looked at the green sprouts, and kicked her back hard, only to find that there was no expected laughter around her, and she couldn't help frowning and looking up, but saw Chu Xi standing at the door, wearing a thin old cotton coat.
"It turned out to be a big girl......"
"Smack......
Before Yahuan's smug expression fell, a slap fell on her face, and a blood mark was torn from the corner of her eye.
"The eldest lady has killed someone!"
A scream spread directly from the laundry room, and the green sprouts suddenly turned pale with shock.
