Chapter 48: Ruthless
After a good night's dream, Chu Xi moved the yard early the next morning, but the name of the courtyard was changed to the Pavilion of Chasing Brocade according to her instructions, and Chu Xi's explanation to the outside world was to chase the splendor.
Wanrong was the first to come, saying that she wanted to help Chu Xi take care of the new yard.
"Miss, look at what is still missing, clothes, jewelry, bedding and cotton clothes, the slave maid will prepare them for you immediately." Wanrong was dressed in an emerald green dress, with a cloak embroidered with red plum blossoms on the outside of a crescent moon, and a golden hairpin in her hair, which looked quite joyful.
"Since Sister Wanrong is so enthusiastic, why don't you tell me about the rules on the first day of the new year?" Chu Xi said with a smile.
Wanrong pursed her lips slightly and said with a smile: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the ladies have to stay in the courtyard to fast and bathe. ”
"That's all?" Chu Xi smiled and asked, "How do I remember that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I had to go to my grandmother's place early in the morning to pay respects to the New Year, and then go to my father and mother to say goodbye?" ”
Wanrong smiled: "Yes, the slave hasn't said it yet......"
"I think you just don't want to say, why delay my young lady's time here." Green Shoots dissatisfied.
Chu Xi glanced at Wanrong, who was pierced and her face was slightly pale, and was about to go out, but she was nervously stopped: "Miss, do you think your coat is inappropriate, do you want to change it?" ”
"Get out of the way." Chu Xi said lightly, but it was very powerful in people's ears.
Wanrong looked out nervously, turned her head to look at Chu Xi and said with a smile: "Miss, slave maid ......"
"Come on, send Miss Wanrong away." Chu Ji said.
The surrounding maids and daughters looked at her, and then at Wanrong, but their footsteps didn't move for half a minute.
Chu Xi glanced at them sideways: "It seems that this is not my maid's ring, it is my mother's." ”
Wanrong frowned, and hurriedly curtled her knees: "The eldest lady misunderstood." ”
"Really?" Chu Ji looked at them and said, "Didn't hear my words, send Miss Wanrong away!" ”
Chu Xi's words fell, and two maid rings moved, and it could be seen that the people around them did not move, and they retracted their steps again.
"Since that's the case...... Chu Ji blinked: "Then you can't blame me." After that, he turned around and looked at the green sprouts: "I went to my grandmother's place, and I said that I was stopped in the yard by my mother's maids-in-law, and I couldn't go over to ask for peace and ask her old man to forgive her sins." ”
Wanrong's anxious forehead was sweating, and she kept looking back until she saw a person in a crimson dress in the corner of the door, and she was relieved.
Her relieved look naturally fell in Chu Zhen's eyes, Chu Xi looked at Chu Dai'er in a scarlet dress who appeared at the door, and was a little surprised, the girl ring she followed was another taciturn but powerful Yahuan Muxiang beside Chu Zhenzhen.
"Big sister......" Chu Dai'er looked at her softly, Chu Ji smiled slightly, and watched her take out a polished knife from her sleeve.
Green Sprout hurriedly stopped in front of Chu Xi: "Fourth Miss, what do you want to do?" ”
Chu Dai'er smiled gently: "This is my gift to my eldest sister, I heard that day that eldest sister likes to play with objects such as daggers, so I specially asked people to search for it, I hope my sister will not dislike it." With that, he handed the dagger over.
Lu Ya looked at the dagger that didn't even have a scabbard, and frowned: "Fourth Miss, why do you ...... the scabbard?"
"Miss, the slave is an old lady......" A serious female voice suddenly came from outside the door, Green Sprout raised her eyes, and before she could react, the dagger in Chu Dai'er's hand, which was very close to herself, suddenly deflected, and stabbed towards Chu Dai'er, Green Sprout was startled, and reflexively pushed Chu Dai'er, but she didn't expect that the dagger would directly cut Chu Dai'er's wrist for some reason, and the blood suddenly gushed out.
Green Sprout was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she knelt directly on the ground, Chu Xi looked at Chu Dai'er who had fainted, and her face was slightly gloomy.
"The eldest lady is going to kill the fourth miss, come on!" Wanrong suddenly shouted in horror, and the surrounding maids and women instantly rushed up, squeezing Chu Xi to the outside.
Chu Xi looked at the obvious disgusted eyes of Chuncao sent by her grandmother when she looked at her, and knew that all the efforts she had made at the old lady had been in vain.
