Chapter 81: Strange Woman
After Mei Xue returned to the palace, she went to see Song Zhijie and told Han Yu what she wanted.
Song Zhijie smiled, looked at Mei Xue and said:
"Han Gongzi may have a problem for you this time."
Mei Xue drank tea while listening to Song Zhijie talk about Zhao Qixia's situation.
The main book of Guozijian belongs to the seventh grade, in the capital Luoyang, which is simply not an official.
But because Zhao Baorong's wife, Mrs. Kong, is from the Qufu Kong family, the Zhao family is also somewhat decent in the capital.
For example, at several palace banquets every year, Mrs. Kong will be invited.
Zhao Qixia is deeply loved by Zhao Baorong and his wife, and has followed Zhao Baorong to study in the Guozijian since she was a child.
When Mei Xue heard this, she probably knew why Han Yu had an entanglement with Zhao Qixia.
But Song Zhijie's next words made Mei Xue speechless.
"This Miss Zhao is about a person with great ambitions. So far, she has been married three times and withdrawn three times.
The last time I quit my family, it was on the third day after Han Daren's high school. ”
Mei Xue almost squirted out a mouthful of tea in her mouth, and was stunned for a moment before she smiled lightly and said:
"It can also be said that Miss Zhao was unlucky, and she finally found the right person, but Lord Han had this kind of thing again."
At this time, Mei Xue really understood why Zhao Qixia had not moved for so many days since Han Yu's accident.
Song Zhijie also nodded, but smiled a little meaningfully.
Mei Xue got up to say goodbye, smiled bitterly and said to Song Zhijie:
"Mr. Song, I probably won't be able to fulfill my wish for Lord Han this time, so please make preparations in advance."
Song Zhijie nodded, and said while sending Mei Xue out:
"It's simple, girl, don't worry."
When he and Jiu'er returned to the bamboo garden, they saw Ping'an walking staggering in the yard, and Yurong bent over like an old hen and stretched out her arms behind him.
Li Jinzhi hugged Li Mingze and stood aside with a smile.
Mama Mei sat under the flower stand to enjoy the shade, and Mama Zhang was next to her and bowed her head to do needlework.
Mei Xue stopped to look at them, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.
In the afternoon, the summer breeze was slightly dry, and the shopkeeper in the teahouse was drowsy behind the counter.
Mei Xue walked up to the second floor, took off her hat and sat down by the window.
Jiu'er sat opposite Mei Xue, looked out the window and said to Mei Xue:
"Girl, this Miss Zhao is really difficult to invite, the slave has almost broken the threshold of her house in the past two days."
Mei Xue glanced out the window and said to Jiu'er:
"A girl who has not been out of the cabinet, it is understandable that she is not willing to go out to meet strangers, no matter what you say, it is difficult for us to be strong, don't complain."
Jiu'er still pursed her lips dissatisfied, but didn't say anything more after all.
An ordinary green oilcloth sedan chair turned out of the corner and stopped under the big willow tree in front of the teahouse.
When Jiu'er saw the mother-in-law who was following the sedan chair, she said to Mei Xue:
"Girl, someone is coming."
Mei Xue glanced outside, then looked at Jiu'er and said:
"You go to the door and wait for Miss Zhao, remember, you must not be rude to Miss Zhao's master and servant."
Jiu'er frowned and said "um", got up and walked outside.
Out of the sedan chair came a goose-yellow figure, with a snow-white hat, holding the hand of the mother-in-law next to him into the teahouse.
Mei Xue retracted her eyes, lowered her eyes and looked at the fragrant tea in front of her and smiled faintly.
Mei Xue has never judged people by their appearance, but when Zhao Qixia, who was standing in front of her, took off her hat, she still had a slight surprise in her heart.
Zhao Qixia, who is almost seventeen years old, is only about the height of Mei Xue's shoulders, her complexion is slightly dark, her lips are thick, and her chin is particularly short and slightly tilted forward.
For a moment, Mei Xue remembered the picture of the ape she had seen in a book in her previous life.
Although it was not revealed on her face, Mei Xue still smiled apologetically at Zhao Qixia because she had such an impolite idea and said:
"It's rude to disturb Miss Zhao this time, I apologize to you first."
As she spoke, Mei Xue politely saluted Zhao Qixia.
And Zhao Qixia just glanced at Mei Xue lightly and sat down, and only when Mei Xue also sat down with an embarrassed expression did she say coldly:
"Miss Mei, you are a popular figure in the capital, and I am very panicked when I come to the door again and again."
Mei Xue was silent and could only apologize again.
Seeing that Zhao Qixia finally stopped being reluctant, but picked up the tea and began to drink it slowly, Mei Xue politely said her request.
Zhao Qixia smiled coldly again, put the tea cup in her hand on the table and said:
"Miss Mei is the imperial doctor of His Majesty, and the distinguished guest who lives in the palace of the King of Shu, even if she rolls in the pile of men, she can be said to be saving lives to the outside world.
And I'm just an ordinary woman from a good family, why should I go to meet a foreign man? ”
Zhao Qixia scolded people so bluntly, Mei Xue was a little angry in her heart, and she put away the apology on her face and said lightly:
"I understand your feelings, and I've said goodbye repeatedly. If you don't want to visit Lord Han, I can't force it, and I will never reveal it in the slightest.
But I think, no matter what, Miss Zhao, you shouldn't hurt people. ”
Zhao Qixia sneered, and a fierce light was already revealed in her eyes:
"Han Yu was born in poverty, and in the past few years, he has been studying in the Guozi Prison, and he has been able to maintain it thanks to my father's funding, so I didn't expect him to have delusions.
Please go back and tell him that I, Zhao Qixia, have never had a friendship with him, and if he dares to ruin my reputation outside, I will not spare him. ”
After speaking, Zhao Qixia got up and walked out, and from beginning to end, she didn't even have a kind word.
Mei Xue was really shocked, and sighed that there was such a strange woman in the world.
Jiu'er has been guarding the door, and naturally he also listened to it, and after entering the house, he said angrily:
"A woman who dares to withdraw from marriage three times is embarrassed to mention any reputation, her skin is really thicker than the city wall."
Mei Xue was amused by Jiu'er's words, patted her on the shoulder and said:
"Anyway, we took the initiative to find her, and there's nothing wrong with her not wanting to. You remember, you must not tell anyone about this matter, not even Yurong and Mama Zhang. ”
Jiu'er replied with a sullen head, but in the end, she was angry in her heart, and when she raised her foot, she kicked over the chair that Zhao Qixia had just sat on.
When he returned to the palace, Song Zhijie was already waiting for Mei Xue in Li Jinzhi's courtyard, and after looking at her, he understood everything, and then took out two things from his sleeve and put them on the table.
A silver hairpin of exquisite workmanship, and a letter.
Mei Xue took out the letterhead and glanced at it, then said to Song Zhijie with a smile:
"It's hard for me to get something so private."
Song Zhijie smiled, shook the fan in his hand and said:
"Miss Zhao is a person who has retired three times, so this kind of thing is not rare."
Song Zhijie rarely had such a silent time, Mei Xue knew that he was a little angry, but she could only smile helplessly.
Song Zhijie still had something to do, Li Jinzhi accompanied Mei Xue back to Zhuyuan, and whispered to her on the way:
"Anyway, let's treat Han Yu's leg injury first, I hope he can figure it out when he gets better."
Mei Xue nodded, smiled faintly and said:
"Debts always have to be repaid, and love debts are debts."
Li Jinzhi didn't speak again, just quietly shook Mei Xue's hand.
At night, Jiu'er stayed in Meixue House to keep vigil, but she was still so angry that she couldn't sleep, so she couldn't help but sit up and said:
"Girl, Lord Han has such a good character and knowledge, and he can be played with by a woman like Zhao Qixia, it's really infuriating."
Mei Xue smiled, turned to look sideways and said:
"You have to remember that there is a strange woman in this world, who is not beautiful, but she can hold a man's heart.
You think Zhao Qixia is indifferent and ruthless, but she has withdrawn three times, but her reputation has not been damaged, this is a kind of ability.
She certainly has something good about her, but we are women, and we are not in the scope of her profit, so she doesn't bother to pretend to be to us. ”
Jiu'er was so angry that she grabbed her hair, but after all, she had nothing to say, and she actually came out with a sentence:
"Lord Han must be stupid in reading."
Mei Xue was amused, and comforted Jiu'er not to get angry and go to bed quickly, and she would follow her to Han's house early tomorrow morning.
In the dark, Mei Xue quietly looked at the top of the tent, and the corners of her mouth pursed slightly.
No matter how clever Zhao Qixia's methods are, it is impossible for Han Yu not to know the news that she has already decided to marry.
Even if he doesn't care that Zhao Qixia has withdrawn from his family, but he is entangled with a woman who has a family affair, is Han Yu not wrong?
It's just that you're in love and don't sin that way.
