Chapter 217: Gift-giving
Winter in Kyoto is quietly at night, and from early in the morning, a light layer of snow accumulates on the floor of the house. After Yuan Xi finished washing, he changed into an embroidered jacket with a Su embroidered face, and gently stroked the soft wind hair on the neckline.
Zhao Kezhen hadn't gotten up yet, because Yuanxi didn't let her go out, and she wasn't allowed to see anyone, so she had nothing to do, and she didn't bother to get up early. Even if you draw eyebrows and sideburns, who will show them?
Mother Zhong took a bowl of porridge and put it on the table: "Niangniang, your porridge is ready, I am afraid that Niangniang will eat heartburn, so the slave maid made her own decision and added some vegetables and vegetables into it." ”
Yuan Xi took the spoon, blew out the hot air, and scooped a spoonful: "Don't give this to Concubine Zhao when you go back, she is still the same, so as not to spread the word that I deducted her." ”
Mother Zhong nodded: "Niangniang didn't deduct her, she only deducted herself." The body is just getting better, and I only eat such a small bowl of porridge for breakfast. It's been a long time, but how can it be good?"
The porridge is more refreshing than those sweet and greasy snacks.
Yuan Xi saw that Mother Zhong was a little worried, so he smiled and said, "Mother Zhong, ask the small kitchen to make a plate of begonia cake, and the two of us will have tea in the afternoon." ”
"Okay, slave and maid will go. "Mother Zhong not only wants a plate of begonia cake, but also a plate of quiche and a plate of kidney bean cake. The dim sum is sweet and greasy, and he asked his subordinates to prepare a thick Qi Hong, which is the most greasy.
The carriage and horses had been prepared at the gate of the mansion, and Yuan Xi and Zhong's mother boarded the car and drove to the upper pavilion.
In the box of the upper cabinet, Wei Yuanjia was fidgeting with a peanut, a peanut was finely crumbled, and the red skin fell on her snow-white robe, like broken roses in cheese.
"Why haven't you come yet?, could something have happened?" Wei Yuanjia threw the peanut in his hand and turned his head to look at Hongyu and Wang Ma.
Hongyu sighed, shouldn't it mean that Zhao Kezhen had already returned to the Prince's Mansion and was safe and sound? Didn't it mean that Wei Yuanxi would never dare to touch a single hair of Zhao Shangshu's face for the sake of Zhao Shangshu? Moreover, not only the Prince's Mansion, but even the people in Shangshu's Mansion said this, so it should not be wrong.
"Auntie, let's wait and see, the first snow is today, the road must be slippery, and Concubine Zhao is not easy to walk. ”
Wang Ma poured a bowl of hot tea for Zhao Kezhen: "Niangniang, you can drink tea first to warm up your body, right?"
Wei Yuanjia picked up the teacup in one hand and took a sip. Somehow, her heart is always up and down, and she is uneasy. When she entered the cabinet just now, she saw the word "Wei" on the plaque, and she was not happy. Although she is also surnamed Wei, everything in the Wei family has nothing to do with her. A huge cabinet, no matter how much profit she makes, has nothing to do with her.
and the look in Boss Lu's eyes when he looked at her, as if he was mixed with something unspeakable. This Lu Shenglin used to be Xiao Rongshen's subordinate, but now he has defected to Wei Yuanxi, shouldn't his eyes be full of hostility? But he doesn't seem to mean that.
Is it sympathy, pity, or contempt? Yuan Jia couldn't tell.
Could it be sympathy for her marrying a eunuch prince? The more Yuan Jia thought about it, the more he became more and more heartbroken, and took a sip of tea. It's not a taste in the heart, and it's not a taste in the mouth. She slapped the teacup hard, poured half a cup of tea on the bowl, and sprinkled it on the jade-colored tablecloth.
Wang Ma was startled: "Niangniang, are you okay?"
Wei Yuanjia gritted his teeth and glanced at Wang Ma: "You go outside to greet Concubine Zhao's car." ”
After a long time, I didn't see Wang Ma come back. The anger in Yuan Jia's heart became more and more vigorous: "Hongyu, go and see if Wang Ma is dead!"
Wang's mother died, it was an angry remark she said casually. I dislike her for not coming back for too long. Hongyu answered, went out to find someone, and didn't come back.
Wei Yuanjia felt a little strange, opened the window and looked down, the street was still full of people, as lively as ever, but he couldn't see Wang Ma and Hongyu.
Zhao Kezhen didn't meet, and Hongyu and Wang Ma were lost again. What kind of thing is this? I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and everything was not going well. Wei Yuanjia breathed a sigh of relief, he must teach these two unconscious Diao slaves a good lesson when he goes back, and he doesn't know where to run.
Yuan Jia waited for a while, but no one came. She vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although this Shangge is Lu Shenglin's shop, it has already hung Wei's business name. Yuan Jia felt a little regretful, the people in the capital met in the upper pavilion just to be bold and strong. If she had known, she wouldn't have looked for this routine today.
Yuan Jia opened the door and was about to leave. Suddenly, a group of people appeared out of nowhere and pushed her back. Yuan Jialian took a few steps back and stood still, only then did he see that it was not a group of people who came, that is, three people. The person who pushed her just now was Liu Tianbao, a partner from Xiyintang in the former family.
"Liu Tianbao, why are you here?" Yuan Jia was stunned.
Liu Tianbao flashed, revealing a beautiful shadow.
Wei Yuanjia's face changed in an instant: "It's you, why are you here?"
Yuan Xi hooked the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "My sister came here to drink tea, why don't you call my sister?"
Yuan Jia had a cold face and sneered disapprenowndly: "What's the matter with you? Don't call a sister, I listen to it coldly." Let's open the skylight and say something, all three of you, let me out, you are not welcome here. ”
Yuan Xi stood motionless: "Didn't my sister send a letter and say that she wanted to meet her sister?"
"When will I ......" Yuan Jia reacted suddenly, and her letter to Zhao Kezhen was deducted by Yuan Xi. Wei Yuanjia was a little annoyed and angry, and said, "Wei Yuanxi, you are too much, you can also read other people's letters?"
"Compared to my sister, my sister is not excessive. Yuan Xi lowered his face coldly, and shook out the letter written by Wei Yuanjia to Zhao Kezhen from his sleeve. Pointing to the two lines of words, he said sharply: "People are stolen and seized, my sister asked Liu Yun and Mrs. Chen to frame my sister, shouldn't my sister give me an explanation?"
Wei Yuanjia gasped indignantly, and said angrily: "You detained this letter, and you went to great lengths to block me here today, just to say such useless nonsense?"
"Nonsense? Sister thinks this is nonsense?" Yuan Xi glanced at Zhong's mother: "Since my sister thinks I'm talking nonsense, then I just won't say it, let's get straight to the point." Concubine Zhao was not in good health, so she entrusted me to bring a gift to my sister. Would you like to take a look?"
Wei Yuanjia didn't have a score in his heart, and he couldn't do it, so he said, "What is it?"
Mother Zhong presented two wooden boxes with both hands, and held them in her hands: "Aunt Wei, this thing is very expensive, you can handle it gently." ”
Wei Yuanjia frowned, and carefully opened the box on it. Inside, a pink, soft, puffy thing that smelled bad and had yellow water flowing from it.
"This, what is this?!" Yuan Jia looked at Yuan Xi in surprise.
"Sister Bogu Tongjin, why can't you recognize this thing? Isn't this just a human tongue? Sister will look at the second one. ”
Yuan Jia held his breath and opened the second box again, this box was even more disgusting, two rotten lychees?
"This?"
"It's a pair of eyes. Won-hee replied.
"This is what you call an incomparably expensive gift?" Wei Yuanjia looked at Mother Zhong inexplicably.
Mother Zhong smiled: "If you go back to Aunt Wei, the parents who are exposed to the body are naturally the most precious things in the world. Moreover, this has an auspicious meaning in it, auntie might as well guess?"
These two rotten human organs, still said to be auspicious? Yuanjia covered his mouth and almost vomited in disgust. Fortunately, I had no appetite in the morning, so I only drank some tea, otherwise it would have squirted out at this time.
"Can't guess. Wei Yuanjia was impatient: "Can I go?"
"Sister, why is she in a hurry to leave, don't you want to hear Mother Zhong reveal the mystery?" Yuan Xi said and gave Mother Zhong a look.
Mother Zhong smiled happily: "Aunt Wei, you can listen carefully to the meaning of this. A pair of eyes means to know people, and a tongue means clever words. These two things are lacking, aunt, and you say that this gift is just right?"
"You!" Yuan Jia's eyes widened.
Her anger lasted less than ten numbers before it dissipated in an instant.
Wei Yuanxi replaced Zhao Kezhen to meet with him, and Zhao Kezhen must have asked her to be detained. She gave these two disgusting things as gifts, if you heard it right, she just said that it was brought by Concubine Zhao. Could it be that these eyes and a tongue belong to Concubine Zhao?!
Wei Yuanjia shuddered and looked at Yuanxi in dismay.
Can't be wrong, she definitely has the guts. She even dared to force her father's pillow person to death, what else did she dare not do?
"What about Hongyu and Wang Ma?" Wei Yuanjia asked timidly.
Liu Tianbao smiled, raised his hand, and hung a red gold pendant. It was the one that Ruby was wearing. Wei Yuanjia only felt that the blood was cold.
"You, you give them away?" she paused: "Wei Yuanxi, you are so bold, you even dare to move me and the subordinates of the prince's mansion, aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you?"
Yuan Xi slapped Yuan Jia's finger in front of him: "Sister, when did I move your person?" Yuan Xi took the opportunity to squeeze a handful of her hand: "However, my sister has a sentence, I hope my sister can remember it." If you don't move this time, it's to save face for Prince He, and if there is a next time, Prince He's face will be exhausted. What will happen then, my sister will not dare to pack a ticket for my sister. ”
"Where are they?"
"It's downstairs, in your carriage. ”
Wei Yuanjia didn't want to be entangled, it was difficult for her to deal with Wei Yuanxi alone, not to mention that there were three people here? She turned around and opened the lattice door and said, "There will be a period later." ”
"Sister. Yuanxi grabbed Wei Yuanjia's shoulders and said in a low voice, "Sister, you haven't taken your gift with you yet." ”
As soon as Wei Yuanjia turned around, he saw the two smelly boxes on the table, turned his head angrily, and held them in his arms: "Are you satisfied now?
Yuan Xi slowly stretched his smile, solemnly and solemnly, as if nothing had happened: "Sister, I will go to see my grandmother and father when I have time, they miss you." The yard where you lived when you were a child, the things in the yard, haven't changed. You're still the former Miss Wei, but you're just the Miss. ”
A layer of frost gradually formed on Yuan Jia's face, she trembled, and after all, she didn't dare to fight back, she only snorted, and then turned her head and left the upper pavilion.
