The maid of the Jiang family brought the curtain on the carriage, and Jiang Mengqi stepped off the horse elegantly, holding a beautiful brocade box in her hand. Ling Fu walked up to Jiang Mengqi and said with a smile: "Miss Biao, you've worked hard all the way, I'll take you to Yilan Courtyard, all the young ladies have arrived, just wait for you." ”

Saying that, Ling Fu was about to lead Jiang Mengqi into the mansion, but suddenly Jiang Mengqi stopped at the door of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and remained motionless.

"I'd better go to my aunt's courtyard to say goodbye first, and then get together with the sisters."

Jiang Mengqi walked past Ling Fu in a quick step and strode towards Tingyuzhai.

Of course, Ling Fu knew that Jiang Mengqi would not be able to participate in Ling Man's banquet at all, he was just looking for another opportunity to get close to Jiang Mengqi, he saw the opportunity, when Jiang Mengqi was about to step over the threshold of the Hou Mansion, he leaned forward and bumped into Jiang Mengqi who was crossing the threshold, Jiang Mengqi was not careful, and almost fell, Ling Fu hurriedly supported Jiang Mengqi from behind, and he took the brocade box in Jiang Mengqi's hand with one hand.

"You minion, you walk so recklessly, are you still a housekeeper?" Jiang Mengqi glared at him angrily,

"Yes, yes, yes, I was careless, but Miss Cousin still has to be careful, some people didn't pay attention this morning, and spilled the rapeseed oil on this threshold, and many people fell on their heels."

"Then why don't you clean up quickly, if you fall Hou Ye and Auntie, can you afford it?"

"Yes, yes, I'm going to have someone clean it up."

Ling Fu gently knocked the brocade box in his hand as he spoke, he quietly covered the brocade box with his wide sleeves, and one hand had already sprinkled the poison lightly on the silk handkerchief, and then he hurriedly offered the brocade box in his hand with both hands, Jiang Mengqi took the brocade box in one hand and walked towards Tingyuzhai without looking back.

"Ling Xi." Jiang Mengqi's crisp call came into Ling Xi's ears, and Ling Xi, who was still in the house just now, looked up and saw that Jiang Mengqi had already stepped into the house, and the spring breeze was walking towards her proudly.

"Cousin!"

As soon as Ling Xi saw Jiang Mengqi, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart, Jiang Mengqi was not only her cousin, but also her best friend in Yicheng, although Jiang Mengqi had a bad temper, she was not bad-eyed, and she was not as pretentious as the lady of the family, so she could talk to her extraordinarily.

"The third lady of your family gave me a post and invited me to come to the party, I didn't want to come, but I thought I could meet you, so I came."

"Are you here to see me, or do you want to come and see my brother?" Ling Xi smiled.

"What do you say, you know everything?" Jiang Mengqi was a little embarrassed, she walked to the table and put away the treasure-like brocade box in her hand.

"Is Brother Ling Zhu in the house?"

"He's not here today, but if he knew you were coming, he would have been waiting for you early in the house."

When Ling Xi said this, Jiang Mengqi became even more shy, and she opened the brocade box.

"Come and see, I've got something good for you."

Ling Xi walked in and saw that there were two delicate silk handkerchiefs in the brocade box, Ling Xi suddenly thought of the sweat towel she embroidered for Ye Muzhi a few days ago, but she didn't give it away, and Jiang Mengqi's two silk handkerchiefs were really different.

"It's so pretty, where did my cousin get it?" Ling Xi couldn't help but sigh.

"I embroidered it," Jiang Mengqi said proudly, as she took out a silk handkerchief, opened it and spread it in the palm of her hand.

"These days, I have studied with the embroidery lady in the palace for a long time, and I embroidered these two silk handkerchiefs, and I don't know if Brother Ling Zhu can look up to me as an embroiderer."

"Then you should embroider a sweat towel, you embroider this silk handkerchief, my brother is embarrassed to use it as a big man."

Ling Xi continued to joke about Jiang Mengqi, she also walked to Jiang Mengqi's side, and carefully looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand, it was so beautiful, Ling Xi didn't dare to pick up the other silk handkerchief in the brocade box with her hands, for fear of breaking it.

"What are you talking about, I embroidered it for you, just by the way, I asked Brother Ling Zhu, what are you talking about."

Jiang Mengqi became more and more embarrassed, and her face was flushed. When Ling Xi was making fun of Jiang Mengqi.

At this time, Dr. Xu slowly walked into the house.

"Second Miss, I'll give you a safe pulse."

“…… Okay" Ling Xi nodded, and Doctor Xu would come to check his pulse every once in a while, in case anything ailmented.

After speaking, Dr. Xu walked to Ling Xi's side, he glanced at the silk handkerchief on the table, he couldn't help frowning, thought for a long time, and said faintly: "This silk handkerchief seems to have a smell, can you let me take a closer look?" ”
