"I'm not here to rush you." Song Yueyi said with a faint smile on her lips, "I was worried that there was something lacking in the gift that my cousin asked Manager Lu to prepare, so I came here to take a look and see if there was anything that needed to be replaced."
Her voice is light and her speaking speed is neither urgent nor slow, giving people a soft and soothing feeling, which is completely different from the previous solemnity.
Xie Jingling stood up and handed her the list in his hand, "I just checked with Manager Lu, there shouldn't be anything wrong."
Song Yueyi took the list and read it carefully, "Since my cousin has read it in person, there shouldn't be anything wrong. It's just that the gold buckle and jade cup on it..."
"Is there something wrong?" Xie Jingling leaned over to look at the list.
Manager Lu was startled and said hurriedly: "This cup is carved from the finest Hetian jade. The jade quality is condensed and soft. Although the cup is small, it looks noble, elegant and extraordinary. What's wrong with giving it to Mr. Su?"
Song Yueyi glanced at Xie Jingling's profile, who was close at hand, and stepped back half a step without leaving a trace: "Guanshi Lu must have heard that Mr. Su loves jade, so he selected this precious gold-buckled jade cup from the warehouse and sent it over. But the ancients Yun, the jade must be intentional, and the meaning must be auspicious. Mr. Su was able to accept my invitation yesterday, not because I, a reclusive woman, have much face. What he looked at was naturally my father’s face, and all he wanted was that he would be able to do well in the future. The official career will be prosperous and the career will be prosperous."
She paused and said, "This gold-buttoned jade cup is valuable when I send it to you, but it's a single one, and it doesn't have a good meaning. I remember that there is a pair in the warehouse that will definitely be as good as you want. Although the material is not as good as the gold-buttoned jade cup, it is better because it has a better meaning." , means that what you want will definitely come true. Mr. Su knows what he wants when he sees things, and things will go smoothly for the fifth cousin when he leaves. What do you think, cousin?"
Listening to her calm and coherent words, one can tell that she is indeed a learned and broad-minded person. She is worthy of being a young lady from a wealthy family. Her knowledge, knowledge, and knowledge of people and the world are much higher than those from ordinary families.
Xie Jingling prided himself on being smooth and knowing how to flatter people and figure out people's hearts. At this moment, she had to admit that he seemed to be lacking in talent and knowledge in front of her, and he was not worthy of being on the stage.
Although he knew that the interactions between those high-ranking scholars and officials were not just exchanges of interests and verbal flattery, but also the art of non-verbal communication, a tacit understanding without making a sound.
But he has been living outside since he was a child. No one taught him how to mediate the details and methods of contact. He wants to do it well, but he is unable to do it well...
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes slightly, the girl's fragrance was still lingering in his nose, and when he saw the yellow jade hairpin in her hair, he felt familiar. Then I remembered the origin of this hairpin...
"How does my cousin know that if there is still a pair in the warehouse, it will be as desired?" he asked.
Song Yueyi's eyes were clear, "Cousin, have you forgotten that when the old lady was seriously ill, she entrusted me with the care of the house's supplies. In order to avoid making mistakes, I personally counted everything in the warehouse."
"My cousin has a good memory." Xie Jingling took a deep look at her, turned around and ordered: "Steward Lu, just do what my cousin said."
Manager Lu quickly took the order and left.
Song Yueyi didn't stay here for long, which was a blessing for her. "My cousin is busy first. I'll wait for my cousin in the front hall."
"There is no need to go to the front hall, lest I have to send someone to call you, which will waste time. Ah Fu, take the cousin girl to sit in the side hall for a while, and we will go together while I change clothes."
Ah Fu led Song Yueyi to the side hall and asked someone to put more charcoal fire on the stove to warm up the room. He also added a pot of fine Biluochun tea and waited respectfully nearby.
After a while, Xie Jingling came out of the house.
At this time, he changed into a moon-white robe embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns, and wore blue silk cloud shoes. Around his waist hung a silver sachet embroidered with flowers and birds, and a pair of yellow jade waist pendants with complicated patterns.
Wearing a dark fox fur cloak, there is a sound of clanging rings as he walks, which subtly highlights the aura of a noble nobleman from a noble family.
Song Yueyi, who was sipping tea, put down the tea cup and stood up. She had to secretly praise that he was indeed born with a good skin. With a little tidying up, people would look at him with admiration.
Her eyes paused for a moment on a pair of jade pendants on his waist. Just as she was about to speak, Ruan Ying's voice came from outside the door, "Agui, brother Ling probably hasn't gone out yet. The weather is cold, and the kitchen is Bian said that he hadn’t had time to have breakfast yet, so I specially made him black chicken soup that can replenish energy and warm up the body..."
As she spoke, she walked in, followed by two maids carrying food baskets.
When she saw the two people in the room, she was obviously shaken.
Then he looked at Song Yueyi in shock and disbelief, "Are you...the cousin of the Song family?"
Song Yueyi said calmly: "Cousin Ruan, we met yesterday."
"But..." How could he look good and bright overnight even though he looked like a consumptive man yesterday?
Ruan Ying suddenly felt an unprecedented panic and self-consciousness. Looking at her and Xie Jingling standing together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, the yellow jade hairpin on her head should also match the pair of jade pendants with the same material and color on his waist. , like a man and woman in love wearing a token of love for each other, it hurt her eyes.
She forced herself to calm down and revealed a puzzled and heartless smile, "Yesterday, Cousin Song was very ill, but suddenly she became so happy overnight. She didn't look like a sick person. I didn't think so for a moment. Just recognize it. Don’t be offended, Cousin Song."
The provocation in his words was not obvious, but it was still audible.
"Today I'm going to see Mr. Su. No matter how sick I am, I can't be rude. Applying more rouge and gouache can always improve your energy." Song Yueyi didn't argue with her at all, she just bowed, "Since Cousin Ruan is giving me Brother will deliver breakfast, and I will wait outside."
Ruan Ying felt bored.
Song Yueyi stepped up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xie Jingling, "No. Yingying, it's getting late. We can't let Mr. Su wait. Put the soup here for now and drink it after I come back."
Ruan Ying felt aggrieved, "But your cold..."
"No problem, Renhuai's matter is important." Xie Jingling waved his hand and went out first.
When passing Ruan Ying, Song Yueyi glanced at the fragrant black female soup in the food cage inadvertently, and a cold feeling flashed in the corner of his eyes.
In the fantasy world, Xie Jingling could endure the soup that replenished her body and body, much better than Ruan Ying.
Because after she learned that he had cold syndrome, she spent a lot of time and effort to find an old Chinese medicine doctor who was good at medicinal diet. She learned from him for half a month before she learned how to select ingredients and control the heat...
Then he would personally cook it for Xie Jingling every now and then to treat his illness and dispel the cold.
As a result, she kept him alive and well, but behind his back he was busy messing around with Ruan Ying, doing the most disgusting things for her...
