Hearing this, Ji Xiang snorted lightly, "It's not restless at all." The young lady didn't know that after Xia Qingrou came that day, she used the silver to buy the maid who was waiting. She was really willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy the maid and mother-in-law. ”

"She didn't do anything else, she only let them take care of the two maids after she bought them, and she didn't do anything else, and she didn't let the two maids pass the word."

When Xia Qingli heard this, she probably guessed Aunt Wan's intentions, "Just keep staring." Aunt Wan and the Zhu family are all the way, and these two people will not give up their calculations even if they die. ”

She remembered one thing, "You go and tell Aunt Wan, the day after tomorrow, I will go to the banquet held by the Zhu family, and I will take her with me and let her dress up well." ”

"Yes."

Jixiang came to Aunt Wan's courtyard.

When Aunt Wan saw her coming, she hurriedly stood up with the support of the maid, and didn't dare to put on a score: "I don't know why the auspicious girl came?" It's good if you have something to say, how dare you bother to run in person. ”

auspicious and inconspicuous blessing, "It was my young lady who asked the slave to come." Aunt Wan, Miss Wan is going to participate in the flower-viewing banquet held by the Zhu family the day after tomorrow, and I want to take you with me, please dress up. ”

Aunt Wan thought about it for a while, and already understood the purpose of Xia Qingli taking her to this banquet, "Okay, I'll dress up." ”

This banquet is also an opportunity for her.

"Then the slave won't bother." The words fell, and Jixiang left.

Aunt Wan lay back on the bed, thinking about how to use the banquet to achieve her goals. Whether it is Xia Qingli or Zhu, she will not let go of any of them.

The other side.

Gu Jinghan found the housekeeper and asked what treasures in the house were suitable for hiring: "Needless to say, there are general things. ”

The housekeeper knew the reason, he thought for a while, "There are a lot of things that can be hired, but there are not many treasures of the kind that the master said." Besides, the slave doesn't look like Miss Xia's temperament is like a person who likes these, why don't you send her something that interests her? ”

Gu Jinghan frowned, "What do the girls generally like?" ”

The corners of the housekeeper's mouth twitched, "Master, Miss Xia is not an ordinary girl's family, and she can't be prepared with the preferences of an ordinary girl's family." ”

He really felt that if it weren't for Miss Xia taking the initiative to pursue the master, with the emotional intelligence of the master, it would be impossible to catch up with Miss Xia in this life.

Gu Jinghan supported his forehead with one hand, thinking about Xia Qingli's preferences, and then his handsome face was as black as ink, that woman likes beautiful men!

No, let him take a group of beautiful men as a dowry.

He shook his head and took a few deep breaths, "Prepare as I said first, and I'll think about the rest." ”

"Yes." The butler bowed and withdrew.

Gu Jinghan pressed his eyebrows, Xia Qingli's woman didn't seem to have any other preferences except for beautiful men.

He was suddenly stunned, and now that he thinks about it, he doesn't know much about Xia Qingli, and he doesn't even know her true preferences.

"Anshun."

An walked in and saluted, "Master? ”

Gu Jinghan looked sideways at the sky outside the house, "Do you know Xia Qingli?" ”

An Shun was stunned, not knowing why, "The slave doesn't understand Miss Xia." The minion doesn't have much contact with Miss Xia, so he can't judge what kind of person she is. But in the eyes of the minions, Miss Xia is a very smart and measured person, who loves and hates clearly, and she will never do things that she shouldn't do. ”

He has been with his grandfather for many years and has come into contact with many young ladies from big families. Many young ladies from big families are more or less hypocritical and calculating, thinking about the best side everywhere, and trying their best to maintain their reputation, it is difficult for anyone to be like Miss Xia.

Gu Jinghan was silent for a moment, "I suddenly found that I don't know Xia Qingli, I don't even know her preferences, I only know that she likes beautiful men." ”

"It's not wrong for Miss Xia to like beautiful men, everyone likes beautiful things, just as men like beautiful women." Anshun said.

Gu Jinghan's expression was stunned.

"In fact, in the eyes of the minion, Miss Xia is just appreciating beautiful men, flirting a few words from time to time, and she will not do anything excessive, why does the master care about this so much?" Anshun asked.

Gu Jinghan was stunned, yes, why did he care so much about this? It doesn't matter whether Xia Qingli likes beautiful men and wants to be with him, but he cares so much.

Why is that?

"You say, did the toxin invade my brain? That's how weird I am. ”

An Shun didn't know what kind of expression it should be for a while, and he was so dull that he was like Ye, and there was no one left, "That's what Ye thought?" ”

Gu Jinghan was puzzled, "Then what should I think?" ”

Anshun is stopped, should I say, is it worthy of being a master? At this point, I still don't understand my feelings.

"Master, let's think about what things to prepare for the next hire."

He had a feeling that if he told Ye now that he liked Miss Xia, he wouldn't believe it, and he would cite a lot of reasons to refute him.

Gu Jinghan was very embarrassed by this, "In your opinion, what things should be prepared for the next hire?" ”

Anshun looked up at Fang Liang and wanted to say: Master, you are hired, not a slave!

"The minion doesn't know. Why don't you discuss with Miss Xia? In addition to the regular dowry, it is best to discuss the rest of the dowry with Miss Xia, lest she dislike it. ”

Gu Jinghan nodded slowly, he had to discuss with Xia Qingli. The most important thing about the dowry is that she likes it, not according to him.

It's just that he just quarreled with Xia Qingli, and it's not good to go to her now.

Let's wait two days.

After this, it was the day when the Zhu family held a flower-viewing banquet.

Xia Qingli took the Zhu family to the Hewang Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the palace, Xia Qingli saw the lights everywhere, making it seem like marrying the king, which caused many guests to discuss.

"I don't know what He Wang thinks, but he let an irrelevant old woman of the Zhu family be powerful in his palace, and he also used his name to hold a flower-viewing banquet."

"Haven't you heard that Zhu's kung fu in bed is amazing? I heard that she relied on her kung fu in bed to coax and the king. If you want me to say, the old woman of the Zhu family will not be proud for long. ”

As soon as Xia Qingli arrived, it attracted the attention of many guests, "She is the daughter of the Zhu family...... No, the adopted daughter, I don't know whose girl it is, it's really pitiful, she was harmed by a woman like the Zhu family. ”

Xia Qingli turned a deaf ear, she swept around and didn't see the Zhu family or the people from the palace, and raised her eyebrows high. She can understand that the people from the palace did not appear, but the Zhu family, as the master, did not appear, so it is interesting.

You know, Zhu likes to express himself very much.

"Miss Xia." Lan Lingling walked over with the maid and gave a salute: "I thought that Miss Xia would not come to this banquet." ”

Xia Qingli smiled faintly, "How could I not come to such an interesting banquet." By the way, why didn't a single host see it? ”

Lan Lingling pouted, "The people of the palace are ashamed to come out, and the Zhu family hasn't appeared for some reason." If you want me to say, Hewangfu is a shame, let the Zhu family toss with the Wangfu, and I don't know what Hewang thinks. ”

Dad asked her to stay away from everyone in the palace, especially from the king, so as not to be calculated.

Xia Qingli guessed that something should have gone wrong, causing the Zhu family to not appear until now. I just don't know what's wrong.

"I've kept you waiting." Zhu Shi was late, and her face was not very good: "Today is my poor hospitality, please forgive me." ”

None of the guests took care of her, and the guests did whatever they had to do.

"Let's stay a little longer and leave. If anyone knows that I have come to attend the banquet held by the Zhu family, it will affect my reputation. It was also my father and mother who asked me to come over for the sake of the king's face. ”

"Me too, me too. Originally, I didn't want to come at all. ”

"Where did you say that the Zhu family's face came from, as Xia Xuesong's concubine, she has been living in the palace and holding a flower viewing banquet with the palace as her own, which is really disgusting."

Xia Qingli stood there with her arms crossed to watch the play, she was also very curious about where Zhu's face came from, thinking that living in Hewangfu was the master of Hewangfu, and he held a flower-viewing banquet with great fanfare, which was really ridiculous.

Zhu's smile stiffened slightly, and she tugged hard at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, these damn sluts! When she marries that man, she will definitely make these sluts look good.

"Everyone, please take a seat, I have prepared a lot of refreshments. If you are not satisfied, just say it. ”

There was still no one to pay attention to the Zhu family, and all the guests let her talk to themselves.

Zhu couldn't hold the smile on her face anymore, she walked quickly in front of Xia Qingli, "Qingli, are you here?" ”

"If I don't come, how can I see you so down?" Xia Qingli smiled at the corner of her lips and stared coldly at her intact face.

Zhu almost tore the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, she secretly told herself not to worry, "Qingli, I know you blame me......"

"Stop, stop, you're disgusting to me!" Xia Qingli took a big sip of a cup of tea before he could barely suppress the disgusting feeling in his heart, "Zhu, I'm really bothering you not to make such a look, don't use such a tone, it's too disgusting to me." ”

The guests burst into laughter, all mocking Zhu.

"Zhu, when she is a twenty-eight-year-old girl? Thanks to her age to make such a disgusting action, I was disgusted just by looking at it. ”

"Look at what you said, people have always thought that she is a peerless beauty, no woman in the world has her beauty, and all men will be fascinated by her beauty."

"Gross! Just this kind of old woman who is played by men? Who doesn't know that she has been played with by a group of subordinates, so she doesn't pick with the king, and she can roll together with this kind of woman. ”

The unbearable criticism of the guests, the disgusted eyes, like invisible threads, kept winding around the Zhu family, circle after circle, strangled her almost out of breath.

"Qingli, I know you blame me." She covered her face and cried, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" ”

After today, she will be able to turn over and beat Xia Qingli into the abyss.

Xia Qingli had already stepped aside and chatted with Lan Lingling and the others.

"Aunt Zhu, the eldest lady is not here." Aunt Wan gloated.
