Chapter 62: Assassination
The lantern show was very lively, and the bustling people were all happy, and Chu Xi stood in this lively crowd, only feeling as if she was out of place. Yun Songyi was having a lot of fun, pulling a few girls to take a look here and there, anyway, she had enough money in her pocket, and she would buy whatever she liked, and after a while, even Green Sprout was holding a lot of things for her.
"Who should I be, it turned out to be the eldest lady of the Chu family." A slightly harsh voice came, and the first to react was not Chu Xi, but Yun Songyi.
"Which one should I be, it turned out to be Miss Shu of the Yun family." Although Yun Songyi is refreshing, he has learned a lot of ironic kung fu.
Yun Songyue saw her not far away, her face suddenly darkened, and she looked her up and down, the first-class blue Hangzhou silk skirt, the high-quality jade bracelet on the wrist, and the priceless jewel Zhu Hai on the bun Not to mention, the whole person looks rich, this is like a serious lady, although she came out to dress up deliberately, but in the end, the Yun family is not as profound as the Yan family.
Yun Songyi walked over gently and dexterously, and looked at her with a smile: "I heard that you were punished by the old lady a while ago, how can you come out?" Didn't your aunt send you out to look at each other, and then find a good family to marry? Yun Songyi doesn't like this eldest sister, her mother and father reconciled at the beginning, and part of the reason was that her mother was a hindrance.
Chu Xi didn't know the grievances of the Yunyan family, and she didn't plan to fight with others on this street, so she pulled Yun Songyi's sleeve: "Miss Drunken Moon's performance is about to start, let's go first." ”
Yun Songyi snorted, then turned around and prepared to leave with Chu Xi, but Yun Songyue, who was so immortal, insisted on fighting for this breath.
"The second sister lives under the fence in Yanfu, and she is still dressed so gorgeously, the old lady who wants to come to Yanfu must love her sister very much, but her sister can't stay in Yanfu forever, although your mother and father are reconciled, but you are still the daughter of the Yun family, I will tell my father and the old lady when I turn around, please go back to the house." Yun Songyue picked on her pain points.
Chu Xi grabbed Yun Songyi's hand, who was about to go crazy: "It's not a moment to compete. ”
Yun Songyi raised her eyes to look at her, and saw that her expression was very calm, and her dark eyes were like a lake, which made people feel calm. Raising his eyes to look at the crowd again, Yun Songyi stood up straight, hooked up a decent smile, and Ying Ying looked at Yue Songyue: "Then it's bothering the big sister." With that, he turned his head and left with Chu Xi.
When Lin Qingyu came over, he happened to see Yun Songyue angry like a black-faced Bao Gong, and looked at Chu Ji puzzled: "I rented a small boat, do you want to take that black-faced lady with you?" ”
"Not necessarily." Chu Xi said lightly.
Lin Qingyu smiled, and his narrow eyes shone brightly.
As soon as Yun Songyue raised her eyes, she met his eyes, and her heartbeat missed a beat. Lin Shizi, who had never looked carefully at this cynical before, was stunned when he looked at it now.
"Miss, the little boy is already waiting, let's go over first." The girl next to her reminded.
Yun Songyue looked at the white figure in front of her who was still very eye-catching in the crowd, and her face was slightly red: "You go and ask someone to inquire, the Anping Hou family can marry the son of this world." "If only he could be his wife. It's better not to fight with others and go to the Xiaoyao Palace, not to mention that the Lin family is still so rich.
Even though Yun Songyi has just reined in her temper, she is still angry: "She thinks she is a green onion, but she is just a concubine, her mother is also a cheap concubine, she used to be looking for trouble when her mother was there, and now we are still the two of us are soft persimmons." ”
Chu Xi smiled and pointed to the noodle seller in front of him: "That noodle person is interesting, why don't you let him pinch one according to your appearance, it must be good-looking." ”
Yun Songyi's temperament is straightforward and simple, and his attention is very easy to shift, and when he saw the lifelike face, he immediately forgot about Fang Cai's unhappiness.
Chu Xi followed behind, looking at the red lights everywhere, and bent her eyes.
"Here you go." Lin Qingyu handed a small box in front of Chu Ji.
Chu Xi raised her eyebrows: "No"
"Hidden weapon," Lin Qingyu said with a sly smile.
Chu Ji's face was stunned, and then he heard Lin Qingyu say: "Hairpin bracelets or something, there are dozens of boxes in my warehouse, if you like it, wait for you to marry me." All for you as a dowry. ”
Chu Xi was dumbfounded, hesitated for a moment, and then saw Lin Fu on the side unwillingly and said: "I have been looking for this secret weapon for several years, it is made by the best craftsmen in the world, if Miss doesn't want it, I want it."
Lin Qingyu didn't wait for Lin Fu to finish speaking, and then opened the box, it was a bracelet inlaid with purple crystal, which looked no different from an ordinary bracelet.
Lin Qingyu turned the bracelet over, pointed to a small metal button on the side and said: "Press here, a silver needle will come out of it, a total of ten rounds, and the needles are quenched with the best drugs, you have to use them carefully." ”
Lin Fu glared angrily, but he didn't speak with a cold face.
Chu Ji looked at his white and clean fingers, and was in a trance, and in a blink of an eye, the bracelet had already been worn on her wrist, and Lin Qingyu warned lightly: "King Xiaoyao is really nothing good, no power and no money, unlike me, although I have no power, but I am very rich, and if you like power, I can have it too." ”
Chu Xi was slightly stunned, what is the matter with King Xiaoyao?
Yun Songyi had already come back with a smile at this time, still holding Lin Qingyu and Chu Xi in his hands: "Oh, you also have it." ”
Lin Qingyu smiled and took Chu Xi's one, Chu Xi was dumbfounded, took the rest of the noodles and handed them to the side of Lu Tan to hold, and a few people went to the river. On the deck of the painting boat stood a lot of strong guards and girls dressed in cool clothes, with heavy makeup, thin powder, bewitching and elegant, all kinds of things. There is everything, which makes Yun Songyi dazzled.
Lu Tan also stared at the looming carcass/bodies of those girls: "Aren't the sisters cold?" ”
A few people laughed, and after a while, they arrived at the boat that Lin Qingyu said.
Yun Songyi's mouth has become an 'o', where is this a small boat, it is clearly a huge painting boat, it is not a problem to sit in it with twenty or thirty people.
"Lord Shizi, you are also too generous"
Before Yun Songyi finished speaking, Lin Fu pulled out a small boat that could only seat four or five people from the back of the big painting boat, with a lantern hanging on the bow, and Lin Fu jumped on the bow of the boat to support the boat.
Chu Xi actually raised the corners of her mouth, this is like Lin Qingyu's style.
A few people got on the boat, and Lin Fu propped the boat to the center of the river with the best view, because the boat was small, and it was very flexible to walk through the middle of these large painting boats.
"Hey, isn't that the black-faced girl from Fangcai?" Lin Qingyu looked at Yun Songyue Road, who walked up to the big painting boat not far away.
Yun Songyi frowned, turned his head and entered the cabin, and was really surprised when he arrived at the cabin. The cabin looks small, but it is very elegantly furnished, with tables and chairs made of bamboo and rattan. On the cushioned seat on the side sat a girl with an elegant face, wearing a long green bamboo dress, with a scorched tail guqin on her lap, and a smile, which made people feel like a fairy coming out of the bamboo forest.
"Su Su has seen Miss Chu, Miss Yun." The woman in Tsing Yi stood up and saluted.
Lin Qingyu smiled faintly: "You're welcome, sit down, the performance will start in a while." ”
Su Su's cheeks were slightly red, and he sat down and raised his hand, quiet and melodious.
Chu Xi's face turned a little colder, but she abandoned the distracting thoughts in her heart and didn't think about it anymore.
After a while, it was lively outside, and a middle-aged woman wearing a dark purple gown on the largest painting boat walked up to the plywood, raised the red handkerchief in her hand and said familiarly: "Today is the day of our drunken moon girl's official performance, everyone feels good and shouts good, if you feel bad, there are other girls on our other boats, you have a good time." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, cheers rang out from the boats around her.
In the capital, the matter of Fengyue is an elegant thing, don't say that ordinary people, that is, the old men, but whoever is good at this, these days will come out to see, one is to be lively, the other is to compete for this top brand girl, not only for their own use, but also as a good gift for Yali, but today the drunken moon girl just officially came out to show her face, the auction of this budding for the first time, and it will take three days later, because then the bustard will know how the reaction is, so as to set a high price.
Not long after, a woman in a pink long-gauze dress walked out with small steps, the night wind blew the light veil on her body, and the pink belly pocket in it was clearly visible, and some of them couldn't bear it and began to throw silver directly into the boat.
Drunken Yue smiled slightly, her pink lips raised, a pair of eyes that seemed to smile looked at the bottom, and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Drunken Moon will dance a song for everyone today, if it is not to your liking, please bear with me." ”
The delicate voice, the simple appearance, made those men start to applaud and make friends, and then, a song of phoenix begging for a phoenix began to play, and the waist of the drunken moon and soft man also appeared in the eyes of everyone.
The man on the other boat drooled at the sight, his eyes constantly looking up and down the whirling figure.
"The drunken moon girl is really a must in the capital." The one who spoke was the son that Yun Songyue specially came to see today, Jiao Simiao, the son of Keqing in the Xiaoyao Palace. Originally, Yun Fu, the son of a guest Qing, didn't have to be like this, but Jiao Simiao's father was very talkative in front of King Xiaoyao, and he was very compatible with the little son of the Yun family, so he called Yun Songyue over this time to see if he could let Jiao Simiao go back and say a good word or two.
"That's, I've been waiting for a full year, not only is she good-looking, but also versatile, and she is the most gentle and understanding, if such a flower is placed in the house, then I would rather not go to the flower building to find the girl." Yun Kangdao, the youngest son of the Yun family.
"That's what you said last time." Jiao Simiao smiled, and the two looked at each other and smiled: "You have had enough of the girl I bought back last time, don't forget me after you buy this drunken moon girl this time." ”
Yun Kang's eyes were a little gloomy, and he smiled clearly: "Don't worry, why do you have to explain this more about your relationship with me." ”
After the two of them spoke, they all laughed, but Yun Songyue followed behind, but her hairs stood up when she heard it. These two people have such quirks, and Yun Shangshu also knows it, but they have beaten and scolded, and now among the many sons, Yunkang is the most promising, and he can only rely on him.
Yun Songyue felt bored, and stood along the side of the boat, trying to find the white figure, looking at it. I was really happy to open my eyes wide, but in a blink of an eye, I saw Chu Ji and the others standing next to Lin Qingyu, their palms slightly tight. He turned his head to look at Yun Kang and Jiao Simiao, who were smiling obscenely, and thought about it.
"Yunkang, do you think it's the second sister over there?"
"Second sister? Which second sister? Yun Kang walked over puzzled, and at a glance he took a fancy to Chu Xi, who was standing beside Lin Qingyu with a slightly cool expression, although he was still young, but where he was standing, he was so noble that people didn't dare to look at it directly, but the little face was so delicate that people couldn't take their eyes off, especially the seemingly nonexistent charm in the corners of his eyes, which made people's hearts itch.
Jiao Simiao naturally saw it, and looked at it in a daze: "Which young lady is this?" Ordinary people seem to have never seen it? ”
"Miss Chu Family." Yun Songyue laughed when she saw that her goal had been achieved.
Jiao Simiao's heart was itching: "It turned out to be the eldest daughter of the Chu family who was making a lot of noise, quickly, move the painting boat over, and I'll go say hello to the beauty." ”
Yun Kang naturally agreed, and hurriedly asked someone to row the boat that way.
Yun Song Yue saw that the goal was achieved. He laughed, his eyes glued to the white figure.
Lin Fu noticed the abnormality and whispered in Lin Qingyu's ear: "Master, what should I do?" ”
Lin Qingyu raised his eyes to look at the boat that was slowly approaching, lowered his eyes lightly, and said with a smile: "Xu is Tian'er is too hot, let them soak in the water and sober up." ”
"It seems that the boat is the son of the Yun family's young lady and the son of the staff member in the Xiaoyao Palace" Lin Fu said, he meant whether to start lightly, but he didn't expect Lin Qingyu's smile to be even bigger: "Then put on fire again, they will definitely like it." ”
The corners of Lin Fu's mouth twitched, the master is really going to be on a par with the King of Ease.
When Chu Xi heard the movement here, she looked at Su Su, who was standing quietly behind Lin Qingyu, and simply put her mind on Zuiyue who was not far away. She dances lightly, it can be seen that she has been practicing for many years, and looking at the situation here, she doesn't need to prepare much tomorrow, and she is worth a lot of money.
Yunkang and the others were salivating. Suddenly, someone came to report that the cabin had a big hole and was leaking.
"How so!" Yunkang hurried, and after a while, it could be seen that the ship was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and people were desperately scooping someone out of the leaking place.
"Boat, quick, I'm going to get on the boat!" Jiao Simiao hurriedly said, the back of the big boat will be followed by one or two small boats just in case, but before he finished speaking, he saw the little guy sweating profusely to report: "Oh no, the cabin is on fire, we can't go over." ”
The three of them were startled again, and Yun Songyue simply shouted towards a big boat next to her: "Quick, we are Miss Gongzi of Yunfu, let us get on the boat!" ”
The strong man on the boat was a little embarrassed, and Yun Kang turned around and shouted: "Don't hurry up and save your master, do you know who my father is?" ”
The strong man hesitated, but handed the ladder over. But halfway through the group, the ladder broke, and the three of them threw themselves into the icy river like dumplings, shouting for help.
The strong man hurriedly found someone to rescue, and when he rescued him, his face was already blue from the cold.
This river was guarded by the people of the government, and when they saw the fire, a group of people came to clean it up after a while.
Yun Songyue looked at the three people on the painting boat and laughed: "How did they get to the painting boat in Qingfeng Building." ”
Chu Xi looked at it intently, and the three of them really didn't react that it was Qingfeng Lou's painting boat, and now they had entered the cabin in front of so many people, and Yun Shangshu was afraid that he would be so angry that he would jump to his feet tomorrow.
"Master, it's done." Lin Fu appeared behind Lin Qingyu out of nowhere, Lin Qingyu raised his eyes and swept around, stopping his gaze on a heavily guarded ship: "It's the ship of the Eighth Prince." ”
"Didn't the Eighth Prince go back to the house to deal with things?" Yun Songyi was the first to say.
Lin Qingyu restrained the emotions on his face, coldly listened to the movements around him, and suddenly, the sound of a long sword breaking through the air came, and before Chu Xi could react, he fell into Lin Qingyu's arms, seeing a cold arrow glowing with a green light flying quickly, nailed to the thick hull of the boat opposite, and then raised his eyes, there was already a man in black boarding the ship with a sword.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Lin Qingyu stopped Chu Xi behind him and looked indifferently at the man in black in front of him, but the man in black didn't speak, and he killed him with his sword.
Green sandalwood protected the green shoots, and Lin Fu protected Yun Songyi and a few people behind him: "Master, the eighth prince is probably in danger." ”
In the blink of an eye, Lin Qingyu saw twenty or thirty assassins heading towards the Eighth Prince's ship.
"Su Su sent her back home, and Lin Fu sent Miss Yun away." Lin Qingyu broke the neck of the black-clothed man in his hand, and quickly arranged, and when he turned his face, Chu Xi saw clearly that the place on his face that had just been cut by the poisonous arrow had begun to darken.
"Yes!" Lin Fu was worried, but he didn't say much to refute it, looked at Yun Songyi and said, "Miss Yun, offended!" With that, he grabbed her waist and kicked away the man in black in front of him, and quickly walked into the darkness.
Su Su didn't know when she appeared beside Chu Xi: "Offended." "Say it. Seemingly weak, she also picked up Chu Xi, and Lin Qingyu solved the black-clothed man behind Su Su with a sword: "Hurry up!" ”
Su Su gritted her teeth and walked away with red eyes, Chu Xi looked at the white figure that was getting farther and farther away, and there was a faint worry in her heart.
Lin Qingyu knew that Chu Xi was very fond of the girl beside her, glanced at Lu Tan, who didn't dare to break through, and stepped forward to block the four or five secret arrows that came to her for her: "You take this girl first, and I will block it for you." ”
Lu Tan was stunned: "They are better than the brocade guards in the palace"
The corners of Lin Qingyu's mouth rose evilly: "I'm better than the most powerful people in the palace, remember to tell your young lady when I go back." ”
The corners of Lu Tan's mouth twitched, but Lin Qingyu did solve the people on the board of the boat at once, and left with Lu Bu when he found the opportunity.
After dealing with the people on the boat, looking at the Eighth Prince who was holding a sword and fighting with people, Lin Qingyu thought about it, raised his sword over, and picked up the sharp sword that stabbed behind the Eighth Prince with a sword.
"Are you finally willing to come back and help me?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at the white figure in front of him, although he has been studying in the mountains, he is the most powerful person in the rivers and lakes, the art of war, he has been familiar with it since he was a child. Such a talent, he doesn't know how many times he has invited him openly and secretly, but he only said that he only loves wealth and glory, and never refused to meddle in the affairs of the DPRK and China.
Lin Qingyu's face was indifferent, and he actually made Zhao Xuanyi see a little threat.
"Eighth Prince, the ship is on fire." A guard approached the road.
Zhao Xuanyi frowned: "Qing Yu, you"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Lin Qingyu killed the man in black in front of him neatly, turned around and bowed his hand to him slightly: "The minister still only likes glory and wealth, and now this group of people almost scared my guests, so I made a move, and I hope that the eighth prince will not blame the minister for being nosy." ”
Seeing him like this, Zhao Xuanyi frowned fiercely: "You"
"The rest of the people, the Eighth Prince, can be solved, and the ministers have been poisoned and retired first." Lin Qingyu raised his eyes, and Zhao Xuanyi saw that his face was already filled with black gas, where was this just poisoning. It's about to hang up.
"I'll help you find the Imperial Doctor"
Lin Qingyu waved his hand, suppressed the fishy sweetness that had reached his throat, turned his head and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhao Xuanyi's personal guard saw the person leaving, and his face was not good: "Master, this person is so wise and close to a demon, and now he refuses to join your command, his subordinates are not as good as him" He made a movement to wipe his neck.
Zhao Xuanyi's face was cold, if he could kill him, he would have killed him a long time ago, but as he said, Lin Qing's foolishness is almost a demon, if he is murderous, the consequences are only unimaginable. He hasn't made a choice yet, and he also believes that with Lin Qingyu's character, he will never choose the eldest prince who acts viciously and unscrupulously.
"Don't mention this matter again, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he was about to leave, and halfway through, he seemed to remember something, and turned back and said, "Go and find out who his guest is tonight." "To make him so angry may be a breakthrough.
Su Su sent Chu Xi directly to the gate of the Chu Mansion, and Green Sandalwood and Green Sprouts also came.
"Miss Chu, there is no danger here, Su Su will retire first." After Su Su finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Chu Xi has struggled several times in her heart, after all, Lin Qingyu saved her, and it seems that she is too unkind to ignore her: "Your son-in-law"
"My son-in-law should be in Ruyifang." Su Su winked at Chu Xi and smiled: "That poison looks quite heavy" Su Su smiled and smiled, her eyes were red, and she turned her head and disappeared into the darkness.
Chu Xi's face was pale, looking at her departing back, not knowing what to think.
Lu Tan entered the house with the frightened green buds, and before a few people could take a breath, Jiang's mother came over.
"The old lady sent a slave maid to send you a set of hairpins, do you like it?"
Chu Xi changed into plain clothes, let Xiao Fu'er serve hot tea, and smiled softly: "Thank you, grandmother." ”
Mother Jiang smiled: "Miss, can you still have fun today?" ”
Knowing that Mother Jiang was here to probe the wind, Chu Xi smiled and told her all about the situation. But when it comes to Jinghualou, he doesn't mention the Eighth Prince and Lin Qingyu.
Mother Jiang knew that Yun Songyi liked Chu Xi, so she went back to pay for it.
Before Jiang's mother left, Chu Xi asked someone to turn off the lights in the yard, and whoever came only said that she had rested.
Green Sprouts waited for Chu Xi to wash, and Lu Tan followed behind Chu Xi and said: "Miss, you don't know how majestic Lin Shizi was when he stopped the assassin for us, and although he is young, I see that his internal strength is definitely more than fifty years, tsk, I really don't know if it is an old monster wearing the skin of a young man or a master outside the world who has given him all his internal strength." Lu Tan said with envy and worship: "I can't imagine that he is so powerful as a person who looks weak and dumb."
Lu Ya hadn't come back to his senses yet, listening to Lu Tan's chatter, he was a little relieved: "Lu Tan, you like Lin Shizi so much, it's good to marry him." ”
Lu Tan's face turned red: "What are you talking about, who can't see that Lin Shizi likes my family."
"Ahem!" Green Sprout hurriedly interrupted her: "Okay, it's not early, let's rest." I'm serving the young lady. ”
Lu Tan bowed his head, walked to the door and turned back, and looked at Chu Xi: "Miss, Lin Shizi's poison is afraid to be disfigured, if you want to marry, you have to think clearly." ”
Chu Xi smiled faintly: "I don't have any intention of getting married now, you all go down and rest." ”
Green Bud glared at the talkative Green Sandalwood, and then retreated with her.
She was the only one in the room, and she lay on the bed tiredly.
How did the Eight Princes appear today? It stands to reason that he should be dealing with the woman who gave birth to the Eighth Prince, and it is not surprising that he should have found out that it was the eldest prince's hand, but how could he suddenly appear on the painting boat?
Chu Xi couldn't figure out a series of questions, which was different from her experience in her previous life. However, Chu Xi can also understand that since she has been reborn, things must have begun to change.
But I don't know what happened to Lin Qingyu, his injury
The more Chu Xi thought about it, the more upset she felt, so she simply sat up, opened the window, and let the cool breeze blow on her body, calming down her chaotic thoughts. Wait until dawn. I fell asleep in a daze.
Seeing that Chu Xi was sleeping soundly, Green Sprout didn't dare to disturb her, and didn't wake her up until dawn.
"Miss, Mrs. Li sent a letter early in the morning, saying that the matter of the cousin has been clarified, and she will be released today, and she wants to ask the young lady to go with her to pick up the cousin from prison." Xiao Fu'er took it and came over early, chattering.
Lu Tan poured out the gossip thoughts: "Is the cousin okay?" ”
Xiao Fu'er nodded: "I heard that the Eighth Prince was assassinated last night, and when I went back, the woman who made a big fuss was also assassinated, and the Eighth Prince checked along this line, and found out that someone wanted to use the woman to frame the Eighth Prince, and seeing that the Eighth Prince was slow and didn't attack the woman, he couldn't wait, so he simply sent someone to assassinate the Eighth Prince and killed the woman at the same time." ”
Chu Xi drank the porridge in the bowl lightly, but she understood in her heart that the woman was killed by the assassin, and I was afraid that it was just an excuse for the Eighth Prince. Even Xiao Fu'er knows that this news can be spread, and I am afraid that he deliberately arranged it. not only disposed of the woman, but also put the fault on the man in black. However, the assassination of the man in black should not be directed and acted by the eighth prince, who will it be, could it be the eldest prince?
"Little Fu'er, you know so much." Green Sandalwood sighed.
Xiao Fu'er raised her chin proudly: "That's right, I heard about all of this from the porter, and I heard that the master is worried about things here." ”
"What are you worried about, master?" Green sandalwood was puzzled.
Xiao Fu'er shook his head: "I don't know about this." "Although she is the wind in the house to inquire, but private things will not be known to everyone.
Chu Ji had breakfast, and Li Chu's family came.
"Say hello to my aunt." Chu Xi stood up and saluted.
Li Chushi stepped forward with a smile and helped her up, looking her up and down again, calm and calm, not arrogant or impatient, but her temperament is excellent, but she is too beautiful, which is not good in the back house.
"The girl told you, you will go with me to pick up your cousin in a while, and go to my house to sit on the way, I just bought a house, and I am not very popular."
Chu Ji smiled: "It seems that it is not in accordance with the rules for me to pick up my cousin, after all"
Before Chu Xi's words were finished, Li Chushi laughed: "Don't be afraid, your grandmother will also go over, I will take her to my house to live for a few days, and you will follow you, as well as your third sister and fourth sister." ”
Chu Xi's eyebrows raised slightly, but there was no Qin Xue's mother and daughter, it seemed that they were deeply knotted.
Chu Xi couldn't shirk it, so she could only ask Lu Ya to pick up a few sets of clothes, and then followed Li Chu's out of the door.
Chu Bingsong didn't care about the affairs of the back house, and Qin Xue, the housewife, was so snubbed, so he naturally didn't care about it.
Chu Xi asked Xiao Fu'er and Chunzhi to stay in the mansion for a few days, and go to Aunt Yanxue's courtyard to walk around, what she was afraid of was that Qin Xue would take advantage of their absence to attack Brother Hong.
Out of the house, Li Chushi took her hand and talked all the way, asking the female student, asking the female red, and almost asking the eight characters.
The old lady saw her intentions, and when she was about to ask, she interrupted lightly: "The big girl is a good person, she is stable and smart, and with this kind of status, even if she enters the royal family, she can also enter the royal family." ”
Li Chushi was stunned and looked at the old lady: "Mother, what do you mean, you plan to make a big girl"
"It's not a decision yet." The old lady glanced at Chu Xi, who was sitting on one side with her eyes down and not speaking, and said lightly: "The big girl will not be fourteen in a while, this looks like other people's affairs are not in a hurry, you don't have to worry about her, although her biological mother is not there, but there is still a housewife in the house, and I will always take care of it for her." ”
The old lady also understood what she meant, she would not let Chu Xi marry Li Xiao.
Chu Xi didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or hang her heart when she heard this, she didn't want to harm Li Xiao, nor did she want to marry someone like the Eighth Prince.
Let's take one step at a time.
It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and Li Chu's enthusiasm for Chu Ji had obviously dropped a little, and he looked at Chu Dai'er after getting out of the carriage.
When Li Xiao came out of prison, he was depressed, and he came to the capital to seek fame and went to prison, such unfortunate things naturally made him feel dull, but when he looked up, he saw Chu Xi standing on the side of the carriage, wearing a smoke-blue long skirt and a snow-white cape, and only a droplet-shaped step on the bun, swaying and shaking, it became more and more that she was full of aura, and her small body stood there like that, and her unearthly temperament was stunned.
Chu Xiao naturally noticed it, and quietly took a step to the side and stood behind the old lady, Li Xiao instantly sobered up, her ears were hot, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Xiao'er!" Li Chushi hurriedly stepped forward.
Li Xiao also wet her eyes: "Mother, grandmother." ”
The mother and son exchanged pleasantries, then got into the carriage and headed for Li's mansion, but Li Xiao, who was sitting in the carriage, never moved her eyes away from Chu Xi's body, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more exciting it became.
Li Chushi looked at him like this, and became more and more distant from Chu Xiao in his heart, but fortunately, Chu Xi was also kind-hearted, and she tried her best to save Li Xiao, and her face was not too ugly.
The carriage stopped in front of a house after a short time, this house was bought with the help of the old lady, and it used to be the courtyard of a large family, although it was not as grand as the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was also elegant and rich.
In the courtyard of Sanjin, the back house is in the innermost, and Lord Li is still on an errand, so Li Chushi directly explained the place where his subordinates arranged for a few people to rest, and he pulled Li Xiao to accompany the old lady to talk.
Chu Xiu and the three of them were arranged in a courtyard, Chu Xi and Chu Daier lived in the east wing, and Chu Xiuxiu lived in the west wing.
Chu Dai just stopped, and Chu Dai'er came over.
"Big sister." Chu Dai'er is still gentle and polite.
Chu Xi smiled faintly, which led her to sit down on the warm couch.
Green Sprouts brought tea over. Lu Tan was bored, so Chu Xi let her go to the yard to play by herself.
"I heard my grandmother say that my father seems to be interested in marrying the Eight Emperors' Mansion?" Chu Dai'er blushed and said.
Chu Xi looked at her little white rabbit and smiled faintly, she could remember the death of Shen's mother clearly: "The fourth sister wants to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion?" ”
"No, it's not." Chu Dai'er hurriedly waved her hand: "Where do I dare to climb the Eighth Prince, I just think that my grandmother will show me a small family in the future." Saying this, what she was thinking about was Lin Qingyu. Such a person who is indifferent and knowledgeable, and such a net worth, is undoubtedly the best destination for his daughter's family, but that person seems to be interested in the eldest sister.
"Where is my sister Gao Pan, now you are also a serious daughter of the Chu Mansion, how can you not marry the Eighth Prince." Chu Xi smiled, looking at the disgust on Chu Dai'er's face that she didn't even notice, the corners of her mouth raised, but she said inadvertently: "I heard that the fourth sister's mother used to be from Southern Xinjiang, I don't know if Southern Xinjiang is also like the Central Plains, it likes rain in spring and snow in winter." As soon as the three months before and after the Chinese New Year, the major officials began to hold the Flower Society Poetry Meeting. ”
Chu Xi's words were like the complaint of the youngest daughter, Chu Daier didn't think much about it: "I have read in the book, the seasons in southern Xinjiang are not much different from those in the Central Plains, but these customs are not there, the folk customs there are simple and open, if the son of which family falls in love with the girl of which family, he will come directly to the door to ask for marriage." ”
Chu Ji saw that she said naturally, and said: "Yes, I read what is written in the book, the men in southern Xinjiang are all tall and strong, with fair and delicate skin, which is better than women." ”
"That's Hun said, men in southern Xinjiang are clearly dark-skinned or wheat-colored, how have they ever seen fair and delicate, better than women" Chu Dai'er's words stopped abruptly halfway through: "I also saw it in a book." ”
Chu Xi looked at her determined appearance, and smiled lightly in her heart, in her previous life, the King of Joy taught her, said something obviously wrong, if the other party was very disdainful and very sure to refute, it was that person had seen it with his own eyes.
Chu Xi didn't pierce it, and responded lightly: "Yes." ”
Chu Dai'er looked at Chu Ji who lowered her head and drank tea, bit her lip slightly, remembered the purpose of coming over, and said with a smile: "Big sister, do you still remember the prince of the Marquis of Anping?" ”
Chu Xi's hand paused slightly, and she looked at her with a natural expression: "Some impressions, what's wrong?" ”
Chu Dai'er's face was shy: "The prince saved me that day, I thought, it would be best if I had the opportunity to be grateful." ”
Chu Xi looked at her such a shy appearance, frowned slightly, and no longer mentioned Lin Qingyu's related words.
As the two were talking, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside, followed by the voice of Lu Tan shouting to strangle Chu Xiuxiu.
Chu Xi hurriedly came out, but saw that Chu Xiuxiu's face was slightly pale with fright, and the mother-in-law on the side hurriedly pulled the angry green sandalwood, but the white and delicate face of the green sandalwood was a bright red slap print.
"Miss." Seeing Chu Ji coming out, Lu Ya hurriedly stepped forward to tell the reason, but it turned out to be Lu Tan's playfulness. There was a snowman built in the yard, Chu Xiuxiu didn't know what to do, pinched the snowball and beat the snowman piled up by the green sandalwood, scolding while beating back, the green sandalwood was so angry that he wanted to come to the theory, and pushed Chu Xiuxiu without saying a word to Chu Xiuxiu.
How did she know that Chu Xiuxiu's body was so light, and she pushed her to the ground with a push, Chu Xiuxiu was annoyed, and when she got up, she slapped Lu Tan hard. Where did Lu Tan suffer such a grievance, so they quarreled, and the more they argued, the more fierce they became.
When Chu Xiuxiu saw Chu Xiu come out, she straightened her back more and more, but it was Chu Xiu who was at fault this time: "Big sister, even if Xiuxiu is not favored by her grandmother and mother, you can't condone your subordinates to humiliate me like this." ”
When Chu Xiu heard this, she was a little surprised, how could this Chu Xiuxiu's brain be bright and know how to use soft nails?
"Green sandalwood, apologies." Chu Xi looked at the green sandalwood with a blue face.
"But" Lu Tan was full of tears of grievance, and looked at Chu Xi with a sour nose: "It's not me who did wrong, it's clearly her" Lu Tan pointed at Chu Xiuxiu with his finger, but Chu Xiuxiu grabbed the handle: "I remember that the girl who bumped into the big sister was directly killed by her mother." ”
The corners of Chu Xi's mouth were slightly hooked: "What does the third sister mean, I want to kill Lu Tan alive in front of you now, so I can stop?" ”
Chu Xiuxiu glanced at Chu Dai'er behind her, and said sarcastically: "I don't dare to compare myself with my big sister."
"If you know, it's good." Before she finished speaking, Chu Xiuxiu cut off, so angry that Chu Xiuxiu's face turned red, and she couldn't let out her anger.
"But big sister, you can't let this girl pass the test so lightly, she just pushed me to the ground! If the big sister does this, then I will have to go to my grandmother to reason. Chu Xiuxiu said angrily.
Seeing that she couldn't bear it, Chu Xi chuckled: "What is the third sister anxious about." After that, he turned his head to look at Lu Tan: "Go to the gate of the courtyard and kneel, don't eat dinner." ”
"But" Lu Tan was still not convinced, and when she saw Chu Xiuxiu's face, she couldn't wait to kick her away.
Chu Xi stared at her lightly, Lu Tan gritted his teeth, turned around and went to kneel at the door.
Chu Xiuxiu smiled proudly, seeing that these subordinates still dare to ignore her!
Chu Xiu turned around and looked at the proud Chu Xiuxiu: "I don't know what the third sister means by throwing something at the door of my room, is it because she sees me as an eyesore?" ”
"I didn't mean that, I was just joking," Chu Xiuxiu said busily.
"Jokes?" Chu Xi chuckled: "Lu Tan, you are just playing with the third sister, why didn't you say it earlier." ”
Lu Tan was slightly flustered, and Chu Xi said again: "Since it was a misunderstanding, then you don't have to kneel, but because of playing, you accidentally pushed the third sister to the ground, and you should still be punished, go to the house to copy the big characters a hundred times, and you are not allowed to eat if you don't finish copying." ”
Chu Xiuxiu was stunned, but Lu Tan stood up very quickly, and in response, he grimaced at Chu Xiuxiu with a smile and went to the warm room.
"It's cold outside, the third sister wants to come and sit in my room?" Chu Xiu looked at Chu Xiuxiu and said.
Chu Xiuxiu gritted her teeth but was helpless: "No need." Then he turned his head and went outside.
Chu Xi stood quietly and looked at Chu Xiuxiu's back running away, before turning around and seeing Chu Dai'er's sarcastic smile that she hadn't had time to retract.
Chu Xi laughed playfully, and before she could speak, Yahuan came outside, saying that Miss Yun was here.
Chu Xi remembered what happened last night, thinking that Yun Songyi was afraid that she was also worried about Lin Qingyu, so she sent someone to talk to the old lady and took the two girls out of the mansion, but the carriage parked in front of the mansion was not the one that Yun Songyi parked yesterday.
"My master is waiting in the car, Miss Chu, please." A sharp-eyed mother-in-law walked up to Chu Xi and said.
Chu Xi looked at the mark of the Eight Emperors' Mansion carved along the side of the car, and knew that he couldn't escape if he had come out, so he made a gesture to Lu Tan, and then got into the carriage.
As soon as he got into the carriage, he met a pair of eyes full of suspicion and anger.
