Chapter 145: Showing a Hand
"Who are you scarring, who in the whole capital doesn't know that Master Taifu has no heirs, and which liar did you come out of nowhere."
The maid didn't dare to say anything, but the little girl who had just gone downstairs and heard Chen Xiuyan's words immediately scolded her.
"Seventh sister." The older girl spoke up.
"Fifth sister, you also know what to do without letting people say."
"Master Taifu has taken in two disciples, this woman may be the family member of one of the disciples."
"Fox fake tiger might."
"Isn't this young lady so arrogant because of her family's name, does the young lady herself have something to be awe-inspiring?" Chen Xiuyan said helplessly.
"You ......"
"And I'm different from you, I ......" Chen Xiuyan was about to show her hand, when a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Su Xinbo's reputation has been ruined by your descendants who have no one in their eyes."
Chen Xiuyan turned her head to look, a familiar voice, a familiar person, "Pei Liu." ”
"Chen Xiuyan, you are really easy to bully, you don't need to pay for the medical expenses if you come forward to beat those people." Pei Liu hates that iron does not become a steel road.
"I don't usually do anything to women, children, or children." Chen Xiuyan smiled, "It's not ......."
"Smack-"
Chen Xiuyan casually stretched out her fist and hammered the high stool she had been sitting on just now, and in an instant the stool fell apart and scattered on the ground, "The most intimidating and intimidating." ”
Seeing this, Pei Liu twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Oh, why is this stool broken, do you need me to pay for it?" Chen Xiuyan pretended to exclaim.
The people in the lobby were as quiet as quails, and their eyes didn't dare to look directly at Chen Xiuyan anymore, nor did they dare to show an undeserved look.
"No compensation, no compensation." The shopkeeper of the shop finally appeared, and said with a smile to Chen Xiuyan, "Madam, please forgive me for being slack, any jewelry that Madame bought today is one percent cheaper." ”
"Then I don't know if I can buy this ring?" Chen Xiuyan glanced at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly.
The two young ladies of the Su Xinbo family behind him did not refute a word.
"Seventh sister, the ring before was also given to people."
"Fifth sister."
"No, you don't." Chen Xiuyan looked at the ring that was worn in her hand, but she was not interested in letting her family wear it again.
"Miss Pei Liu."
"Miss Xiao Wu is quite reasonable, but Ling Mei really makes people disagree." Pei Liu sneered, not giving the sisters face at all.
"See you later, Miss Pei Liu." Miss Xiao Wu's eyes were forbearing, and she greeted with a smile, she was a rare person who could hold on, of course, mainly to look at the other party.
"You're out there today, and it looks like you haven't seen the post yet." Without the influence of idle people, Pei Liu talked to Chen Xiuyan about the flower-viewing banquet half a month later.
"Enjoy the flowers." Chen Xiuyan thought of the chrysanthemum banquet held by Liu Mansion in Yijiang County, and everyone really liked the banquet of watching flowers.
"A greenhouse has been built in the backyard of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, specializing in cultivating precious flowers, although it is winter, you can enjoy the flowers of all seasons, and then there will be a flying flower order, and those who have won the ranking can choose a pot of their favorite to take away." Pei Liu explained.
"Well, this should be the girl's game." Chen Xiuyan looked at Pei Liu with a wink, "I'm a married woman." ”
The hair that was pulled up gave Pei Liu a blow, and every time she saw Chen Xiuyan's immature face, she would always forget the fact that she was married, "It's not interesting." ”
Pei Liu's interest was lacking in an instant, she didn't have any friends in the capital, if you want to say that she has a good eye, Chen Xiuyan is still the first one, but one of the two is unmarried, and the other is married like a few mountains, whether it is a banquet or any activity, she is not a partner who can play together, should she also get married.
"You pick something, I'll invite you to Tianxianglou for dinner later." Pei Liu's divergence from the topic.
"Tianxiang Building?" Chen Xiuyan thought in her heart that there was so much silver, and she could open branches everywhere.
"Tianxianglou is the dowry of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials." Pei Liu explained.
"The secretary of the ministry?"
"The grandfather's house of the third prince."
"Oh." Chen Xiuyan knew that Pei Liu's future mother-in-law's family would be her grandfather's family in the future.
Chen Xiuyan finally chose the one inlaid with pearls, as well as a male ring with a pure gold ring, and chose a pair of jade ones.
chose a pair of male and female rings inlaid with gold and jade for himself and Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan.
"Alright." Chen Xiuyan said to Qingfeng after picking and asked him to wrap it, and in the end, Chen Xiuyan only paid twenty taels for these three pairs of rings.
After buying the ring, Chen Xiuyan got into Pei Liu's carriage directly and went to Tianxiang Building, where Pei Liu was familiar with the private room on the third floor.
"As is the usual practice."
Hearing this, Chen Xiuyan said that she understood.
I ate millet sea cucumber porridge in Tianxianglou again, of course, the sea cucumber this time is not fresh, but the dried sea cucumber seafood flavor is stronger.
"You know you like it." Pei Liu looked at Chen Xiuyan with a satisfied look, and said with a smile, "There are also dried and soft fish, dried and steamed fish, and the rest can only eat meat." ”
"Follow Pei Liu's seafood to eat." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.
"By the way, I haven't solemnly thanked you yet, thanks to you, I let Brother Yan get out of danger." Pei Liu raised his teacup to salute Chen Xiuyan, his face was overflowing with gratitude.
Chen Xiuyan smiled and raised her glass, "No thanks, because of that, my money bag is a lot thicker, and I can buy a property in the capital this time." ”
Pei Liu's smile deepened, Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised, she felt that Pei Liu in front of her was a little open to herself.
"Although I am the sixth lady of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, my father and mother are no longer there, and I was only ten years old at that time." Pei Liu showed a trace of sadness and said, "People are not affectionate, my grandfather and grandmother are not only my father's son, they cherished me very much at the beginning, and pity me for losing my father." ”
"But the big family is the most profitable, and without my father and mother to protect me, I gradually became a little transparent in the house." Pei Liu said sarcastically, "But the year before last, the prince chose a concubine, and I was pointed out to the third prince, and since then, I have been different in the mansion, and everyone has flattered me again." ”
"What family affection can't be measured by the word benefit, which is why I don't like to associate with those ladies of the same age, my own family treats me like this, not to mention those outsiders."
Pei Liu smiled when he looked at Chen Xiuyan after speaking, "But you are different, you are the only one who saved me even if you don't know who I am, and then you know who I am, and you still treat me normally, with you, I am very comfortable and happy." ”
"At the beginning, when I was in Yijiang County, I didn't want to have in-depth contact with you, after all, the gap between the doors and the family is too big." Pei Liu said truthfully, "You will only be hurt by such a gap." ”
"I was surprised and pleasantly surprised by my chance encounter in Fucheng, we still have some fate; Of course, what really made me decide was that you saved Brother Yan. ”
Speaking of the third prince, Pei Liu's expression softened, "He is the most important person in my heart now, and he is also the person who protected me when I was at my lowest point and gave me hope, if you save him, it is equivalent to saving me again." ”
