Chapter 8 Matchmaking
Dai Qiu secretly observed that Xue Changji's appearance was indeed very outstanding, and his temperament was good, and he was indeed a good match for her girl.
It's just that in case of trouble, whether he will go out of his way to protect the girl, he still needs to test it.
She nodded and smiled: "That's natural, doesn't Childe still believe in his talent?" ”
Xue Changji smiled heartily: "I know that she is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and it is not in vain for me to treat her like this." ”
At this time, a little maid came over to serve the pastry, Dai Qiu put it in front of Xue Changji one by one, and introduced: "This is the autumn water hibiscus cake, this is the mandarin duck Zhaoyu crispy, all of which our girls usually like to eat, with this cedar rain and dew, it is the most refreshing and pleasant. ”
Xue Changji had already smiled and smiled, and when he came to the door today, he was nervous, but now he can let go of half of his heart, eat snacks and drink tea very happily, and chat with Dai Qiu with or without a match.
Xue Changji smiled happily: "Seeing you so happy, I can rest assured, I invited you and my third sister to go out to the lake that day, but I didn't expect it to frighten you, I also specially prepared a small gift for you today, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”
As he spoke, he ordered the little servant behind him to present a small brocade box.
Dai Qiu was slightly surprised, seeing that this exquisite brocade box was not a valuable jewelry, but just a special snack of Bafang Zhai, so he took it generously, and said with a smile: "Xue Gongzi really has a heart, slave thank you Gongzi." ”
Xue Changji smiled and lowered his head to taste tea: "It's okay." ”
Dai Qiu thought about it, put down the brocade box, and walked in half a step slightly, with a face that wanted to speak and stopped.
Xue Changji really paid attention to it, and asked with a smile: "What does the girl have to say?" ”
Dai Qiu bowed his head to Xue Changji and said: "Son's eyes, the slave does have a matter, and I want to bother Gongzi to help." “
Xue Changji put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Girl, it doesn't matter, as long as Xue does his best, he will definitely not refuse." ”
Dai Qiu first leaned over and thanked him, and then whispered: "I don't know if Gongzi has heard that there have been many bandits in Kyoto City recently, and I heard that they are from the south, and there seems to be a gang." ”
Xue Changji's father and brother are all officials in the court, and he has friends everywhere, so he is naturally well-informed.
He nodded and said, "I've heard that my second sister-in-law's uncle's house was also patronized by this gang of bandits and stole a lot of things, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin is already stepping up to solve the case." Recently, there has been some unpeace, the fighting in the south has been tight, and many displaced people have fled to various places, so you should also be careful. ”
Dai Qiu pretended to be horrified, "I see, the son doesn't know, recently every night in the house, it seems that there is some unusual sound of chickens and dogs barking,
The lord and the son are not at home, and the lady has not been sick in the past two days, not that the slave and maid believe in the house, but the courtyard of our three girls is in the southernmost corner, and the adjacent street outside is the West Market.
In case there is a movement, the house is now full of female dependents, but how is it good, if it is convenient for the son, can you send someone to help take care of it? ”
Xue Changji couldn't ask for this kind of opportunity to protect the flowers, so he agreed: "What should I do, what's so difficult about this, I will send a team of guards at home to patrol outside the house from time to time." ”
Dai Qiu saw that things were going well, so he smiled and gossiped with Xue Changji again.
On the other side, Taozhi served Xi Fangyu on the embroidery floor and played the kite, and also said a lot of good things about Xue Changji, why did he come to take the blame for it, these days I have a girl in my heart, and everyone has been cleared and so on.
It made Xi Fangyu have no heart to play the piano, and said with a smile: "How much benefit did he give you, and you actually worked for him like this." ”
Taozhi took the fox fur cloak, Xi Fangyu got up and put it on, and Taozhi smiled: "Where is the slave and maid like that, the girl doesn't believe it, go down and take a look yourself." ”
The two laughed and went down the embroidery building, Dai Qiu was ordering someone to change the second tea for Xue Changji, Xi Fangyu saw it, and smiled from afar: "What about you?" ”
Xue Changji hurriedly put down the teacup and got up to greet him, smiled and shook it to the ground, and said, "Third sister An." ”
Xi Fangyu smiled and saluted slightly, and said as he walked inside: "He's so angry with me, why do you still give him so much delicious food?" ”
Xue Changji stood aside and only stared affectionately, smiling without saying a word.
Dai Qiu said with a smile: "The girl is really a knife mouth and tofu heart, didn't you tell the slaves and maids to prepare, saying that you must take care of Xue Gongzi, why is this son too thoughtful." ”
Xi Fang was angry, laughed and wanted to hit someone, and said: "You girl is not honest, when did I say such a thing?" ”
Taozhi smiled at the right time: "It's rare for the son to come over, the girl will say it to the son if she has something to say, and the slaves and maids will retreat first." ”
As he spoke, he took Dai Qiu's hand and was about to leave.
I only heard that Xi Fangyu behind him was still smiling and complaining, so Xue Changji said: "Third sister, it's rare that no one else is present, let's talk about it." "Covered up.
Dai Qiu and Taozhi looked at each other and smiled, and quickened their steps.
Xue Changji sat inside for two sticks of incense before saying goodbye and leaving.
Dai Qiu was careful, and although he removed the people who served with him, he also left the doors and windows of the flower hall wide open.
I can't hear the inside talking, but I can see their every move, and when it comes to it, Miss Yu's reputation is also okay.
Xi Fangyu sent Xue Changji out of Langqiu Pavilion, Xue Changji turned around and said: "I heard that Mrs. is sick, I can't go straight to visit, I will send someone to send some fish maw deer antler velvet over in a while, you can go and bring it to Mrs. for me." ”
Dai Qiu and Taozhi both smiled when they heard this, Xi Fangyu's face turned red, and he didn't shirk it, and said slightly: "Thank you Brother Xue for remembering, I thanked my mother first." ”
After Xue Changji left, Taozhi was the first to quip: "Girl, why did Xue Gongzi become Brother Xue in just one afternoon?" ”
The little girls joked and joked for a while, and then went back to the room together.
Before entering the door, the moment Dai Qiu opened the curtain for the room, he seemed to see a figure in the corner of the corridor, and he disappeared in a trance.
Probably knowing who it would be in his heart, Dai Qiu deliberately pretended not to see it, and followed the footsteps of the third girl to enter.
In the evening, the two little maids came together again to talk, and when they mentioned the prank that the two of them played to the third girl during the day, they leaned forward and leaned back together with laughter.
Dai Qiu said with a smile: "It's exactly what I expected, our three girls really have Xue Gongzi in their hearts, you look at her angry face, you can't tell how happy you are." ”
Taozhi also nodded and said: "Yes, looking at the pair of jade people who are right, according to me, if you have a stubborn temperament like our girl, you should find someone as lively as Xue Gongzi." ”
She sighed: "It's just a girl's wedding, and it always has to be overnodded by the lady to count." ”
Taozhi's words also talked about Dai Qiu's heart.
