Chapter 4: Toss
"Don't think too much about it, those people are just secretly protecting you, as long as you have something big, you will show it to your grandfather.
"They are usually in inconspicuous places, Rao is so, and they have blocked a lot of pots for you."
Ji Yue quietly stared at Helan Xue.
For some reason, she always felt that Helan Xue was a little different, smarter than before, and her vision of problems was also full of pertinence.
What surprised her the most was that the cowardice of the past had disappeared and was replaced by a shocking heroism.
"Well, I see, thank my grandfather for me."
Helan Xue had a warm current in her heart, at least, the original body still had a maternal ancestor family worth relying on, didn't she?
Although it is just Aiwu and Wu, it is much better than Helan Mansion.
"One more thing, you're going to be in time, what are your plans for the future? Do you still want to marry the Fourth Prince now? Or do you have other plans? β
"At the beginning of the month, cousin, I will not be with the fourth prince. When my mother was pregnant with me, it was Yang Guifei who rushed to marry me, and now she dislikes me in turn.
"The clay figure is still three-point bloody, how can I be a living person?"
Helan Xue smiled at Ji Yue, and captivated the country and the city.
Ji Yue also smiled lightly and hooked his lips, and it was only at this time that he really accepted this cousin:
"That's right, my Xue'er is so good, why can't a good man find it?"
She raised her eyebrows:
"Grandfather also said that the four princes are not a good match, and their hearts are floating, and they always drill into the red willow and green places.
"A lot of people who love their children are reluctant to marry their daughters to him, if my sister-in-law is still there, I will regret that I will easily promise this family business, and I will make up for you as a fool."
Then he was glad to get up:
"Fortunately, you have finally come to your senses now, and grandfather would be very happy if he knew about it."
Ji Yue is one year old when he is a year old, and he usually considers himself an elder, and he also loves this little cousin very much. Now Helan Xue is no longer obsessed with An Lingxuan, she is happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
Helan Xue's face was always red, thinking of the stupidity she had committed for An Lingxuan in her original memory, she was ashamed and angry, but she was also glad that Ji Yue cared about her so much: "Let my cousin bother." β
The two chatted for a while before reluctantly parting.
After Ji Yue left, Helan Xue remained motionless in her original position, and Hongyu looked worried: "Miss, let's eat some snacks." β
"Not necessarily." Helan Xue said: "The person I was waiting for is here." β
Sure enough, a voice entered the hall.
"Sister Xue'er, today is so majestic!"
Helan Ya looked at her with a smile, if there was no sourness in her tone, this cordial attitude would definitely be more real:
"Didn't you say hello when you saw your mother?"
In those narrow Danfeng eyes, there was a deep temptation.
Helan Xue was also looking at Helan Ya:
The girl in front of her was dressed in a plain snow dress, her hair was pulled into a flying fairy bun, a circle of pearls was placed on the hairpin, and a butterfly hairpin was inserted.
The begonia flower in the forehead stiffly lined a beautiful girl into a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
Yin Yin only has a seven-point appearance, and it is forced to reach nine.
Helan Xue had to sigh, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles.
It's a pity that I gave birth to a snake and scorpion heart, no matter how beautiful my appearance is, it is all floating clouds.
"What did my sister say? Today, there are guests in the house visiting, I am still lying for my mother's face, and it is understandable that I forgot to salute my mother.
"Could it be that in the eyes of the eldest sister, my courtesy is more important than my mother's face?"
As she spoke, Helan Xue smiled at Fang's family: "Xue'er has seen her mother. β
The smile on Helanya's face froze, and she said that Helanxue didn't salute her mother, and now Helanxue was in a hurry to slap her in the face, isn't this girl always timid and afraid? What's going on?
The cruel words she put out a few days ago were enough for Helan Xue to spend the past few days in bed. How did you know she could become so sharp-toothed? And Helan Xue's previous cowardice is completely gone, but has become heroic.
Inexplicably, Helan Ya had a sense of crisis.
The Fang clan didn't feel anything about this, Helan Xue had been suppressed by Helan Ya all these years, and the wealth of Helan Mansion also made her relax her vigilance.
So although she noticed the changes in Helan Xue, she didn't care about it.
Perhaps, by the day she really pays attention, everything has already reached the point of no return.
"Xue'er, in a blink of an eye, you and Xiaoya have grown up, you should be in time for next month, right? I'm going to have a banquet in the house, do you have any ideas? β
Just now, the old lady told her and asked her to hold a ceremony for Helan Xue. Of course, she was unwilling, but she couldn't disobey. Before she could, though, she had to reap some benefits.
In the face of Fang's kind face, Helan Xue was alarmed in her heart, but she still had a clever smile on her face: "Xue'er has thanked her mother, but everything is up to her mother." β
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Sure enoughβ
"Xue'er, didn't your grandfather's family give you a cloud silk brocade? How about you give it to your mother for safekeeping? Mother will send you to the Splendid Workshop to buy you the clothes you will wear during the ceremony. β
Helan Xue's eyes turned cold, it turned out that the Fang clan had the idea of Yun Sijin. If Helan Xue in the past was said by the Fang family, she would have been obediently offered with both hands.
But she is not the original body after all, and she doesn't want to live for the original body like that.
Helan Xue raised a fresh smile, but said, "What Mother said is ...... But ......"
Helan Xue deliberately made a look of embarrassment, hesitated but didn't speak.
Fang and Helanya looked anxious, but they were helpless: "Sister Xue'er, what do you mean by this?" Mother won't be greedy for you? β
As he spoke, Fang had another idea in his heart. When the time comes, she will secretly replace Yun Sijin with other materials, and Helan Xue is not worthy of wearing clothes made of such good materials.
I'm afraid you're greedy!
Although she thought so in her heart, Helan Xue still made a panicked look on her face:
"Sister, where are you talking about this? How can my sister be such a stingy person? The items you brought to the Glowing Snow Pavilion for various reasons and excuses have not been returned. Have I ever been in trouble?
"It's just that this cloud silk brocade is really valuable, and at the beginning of the month, my cousin had already contacted Aunt Yao from Jinxiufang for me to make clothes, so I didn't bother my mother."
Aunt Yao!
After patiently listening to Helan Xue's words, the faces of Fang's mother and daughter were very ugly.
It is rumored that Aunt Yao has a strange temperament, but she has a good embroidery skill, and no one is not amazed by the dresses that pass through her hands.
But this person has an unwritten rule that she only makes clothes for people she approves. If it weren't someone she approved, even if you were the emperor, she wouldn't do it for you, and even if she took out a mountain of gold and silver, she wouldn't be able to impress her.
What, you said to behead Aunt Shake? Oh, how is that possible? I don't know what's going on, this Aunt Yao's backstage is even harder than the emperor's, and the emperor can't touch her at all.
In today's world, there are only a handful of people who wear the clothes made by Aunt Yao. And all of them are famous people in the world.
Aunt Yao made clothes for Ji Yue. After all, Ji Yue is also the first talented woman in the capital, and the county lord of the emperor's royal seal.
But it is a clothing for the unknown Helan Xue. Hehe, it's impossible, it's just a dream.
Although the two of them thought so in their hearts, they didn't doubt He Lanxue's words, maybe Ji Yue would really ask for He Lanxue?
The Prime Minister's Mansion attaches great importance to this granddaughter, and they see it in their eyes.
Helan Ya forced a smile and said, "Sister Xue'er, you misunderstood. You said that Aunt Yao wants to make clothes for you, is this serious? β
Are you kidding! She didn't wear any clothes made by Aunt Yao, why could He Lanxue wear them?! This realization made her go crazy with jealousy.
Helan Ya stared at Helan Xue deadly, trying to find a trace of lying. only saw the calmness on Helan Xue's beautiful face.
Seeing that his daughter was suffering, Fang couldn't help but say, "Xue'er, after the ceremony, it's time for you to get married, what do you think about this matter?" β
Fang's meaning was that Helan Xue's marriage was still in her hands, threatening Helan Xue to restrain herself.
But Helan Xue didn't eat this set at all, and her beautiful eyes turned around and said:
"Everything is up to the mother, but Xue'er is not young, it's time to learn to take care of housework, otherwise if you marry into your husband's family, won't you be laughed at Helan Mansion for having no rules?
"I think my sister has been studying since she was 12 years old, and my mother wants to favor one over the other?"
After a pause, Helan Xue mentioned as if unintentionally:
"Isn't there going to be a kitchenette in Fuchu recently? I heard that there was going to be a smuggling account, but Xue'er's monthly routine couldn't support it.
"Didn't I think that my mother's treasury kept the dowry left to me by my mother? It was an opportunity to take it back. β
She looked at Fang Clan with fixed eyes:
"Presumably - mother is so good, she won't refuse Cher's little request, right?"
She didn't think about staying in Helan Mansion for a long time, how could she do it without money when she was out and about?
It seems very shameless to say - although she has no intention of avenging her original body, this dowry is to be recovered.
Life in the world, food, clothing and housing, what kind of money is not needed?
"What?" The Fang clan was really a little panicked at the moment, he wanted to take Helan Xue, but he couldn't steal the chickens and rice.
The Ji family left a rich dowry for Helan Xue, and many old people in the house knew about it.
But since she took it, how could she spit it out? She still wants to keep it for her own children!
"Cher, this matter is not in a hurry. The small kitchen is done by your mother for you, you are still young, you don't understand this, don't mention it for the time being, if you want to return the dowry. β
In the face of Fang's lobbying, Helan Xue did not waver at all, shook her head and said, "Then how can it be done?" The affairs of the house are so busy, and my mother comes to help me with the kitchenette. It's too tiring for you, so let's take care of it herself. β
Seeing Helan Xue's appearance of not entering, Fang was angry in his heart, but he didn't have the slightest solution. According to the laws of the kingdom of Eucalyptus, the dowry is the real estate left by the mother to the daughter, and once she reaches the age, she must give it to the daughter, and even the biological father cannot embezzle it.
This is also the protection of the Eucalyptus Kingdom for those concubines and concubines who beg for a living under their mothers, stepmothers or scumbags, and the original concubines and concubines.
Even if the Fang clan wanted to get those dowries, they would not be able to stop Helan Xue from liquidating their property. It is only natural for children to inherit their mother's inheritance.
This time, I really knocked out my teeth and swallowed it in my mouth mixed with blood - I lost it.
"Since you have made up your mind, it is difficult for your mother to say anything. But it's almost noon, and when you're done eating, your mother will send some more people to bring you the dowry, okay? β
"It's okay, mother and sister go slowly, and I don't send Xue'er." Although she didn't know what tricks the Fang clan was playing, she wasn't afraid at all.
Thanks to the thing that Ji Yue left before he left, otherwise, it would have been a little more difficult to get back all the dowry.
When Fang's mother and daughter walked away, Helan Xue neatly put on her cloak and said to Hongyu, who was always standing quietly on the side: "Hongyu, get ready, let's go to the big kitchen." β
Hongyu looked up at Helan Xue in surprise when she heard this, but she didn't ask much, and buried her head in saying yes.
She only needs to be responsible for doing things, and the master's mind is not something she can figure out.
Helan Xue naturally saw Hongyu's doubts, but she didn't intend to explain. If she had to explain everything, she wouldn't die of exhaustion.
In the past, the younger brothers and sisters were all dissatisfied with it, and they did whatever they wanted, and they were smart and efficient, and they didn't need her to bother to explain them one by one.
Unconsciously, this attitude was involuntarily brought out when she faced Hongyu.
They are all little brothers, and there is no big difference...... Right?
She rubbed her slightly hot ears, this hateful aristocratic feudal hedonist, strange people don't like it. It's just that she is new to the world, and she has no intention of challenging secular authority, so she can only try not to mix with the dirt.
Previously, she was the first person in the ancient martial arts world, the senior sister in the sect, and with a wave of her hand, she was a group of junior brothers and sisters who were saddled in front of and behind the horse, no matter what their personality was, they were all very strong in their bones.
Therefore, Helan Xue really lacks the experience of getting along with a person like Hongyu who is docile and soft on the outside, but sensitive and stubborn on the inside, and has some inferiority complex.
Let's take one step at a time.
*Β·*Β·*
Large kitchen,
"Is the steward there? Hurry out to greet Miss. Ruby shouted in the big kitchen.
"It's coming, what's the second lady doing?" The steward hurried out, and he had long since lost his previous swagger.
The news of the people in the house is often the most well-informed, who doesn't know that the second lady is now the "red person" in front of the old lady.
They are accustomed to pleasing people, and now he only hopes that the second lady will not come to turn over the old accounts, otherwise he doesn't know if he can continue to do the work.
"Is the winter warm?" Helan Xue asked as if she didn't care.
"Huh?" Her question was very abrupt, and the steward was very confused.
"Let me ask you, where is the maid Dongnuan who I was exploited two years ago?"
Helan Xue originally had four maids: Hongyu, Dongnuan, Zhihua, and Chun Peach.
Among them, Chun Tao rebelled and fled the house by fornication; Hongyu is the most clever, counter-espionage Fang; Dong Nuan was sent to the kitchen by the Fang clan to suffer; As for Zhihua, he was beaten to death by Fang's fabricated mistakes early.
Helan Xue smiled sarcastically, no wonder she felt that her original body was useless, she couldn't even protect her own people, this person was really cowardly.
It's just this smile, I don't know if it's laughing at the original body, or laughing at the former self.
"Yes, yes," the steward glared at the group of people behind him who were not too busy, and ordered, "Why don't you bring the winter warmth quickly." β
