Seeing Mrs. Lu and Nanny Li leaving, Xu Qian's eyes almost burst into flames. 【Read full text】
Ding Mo will return to Bianjing after the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is her last chance. If she doesn't seize this opportunity, she and Ding Mo will never have any fate again.
Xu Nuo's eyes were calm, and when he met Xu Qian's eyes full of anger and resentment, he chuckled: "You'd better be calm these days."
No matter how Xu Qian tried to trip her up, or how she plotted against her, she could use the troops to cover up the water or the earth, or at most she could just go along with the flow and keep Xu Qian grounded.
But if Xu Qian dared to pay attention to her mother, she wouldn't mind fighting Xu Qian or killing Xu Qian.
After promising to speak, she threw down the curtain and left. Xu Qian angrily smashed all the new porcelain in the room that had been replaced for two days. She also cut the bedding from beginning to end. Several tables fell to the ground and broke their legs. The maid experienced another horrific day.
When Xu Nuo returned, he saw two more pots of crabapples in the house, one red and one white.
The white ones are beautiful, the red ones are bright, and they all bloom just right.
Chun Tang was wearing a moon-white short jacket and a pink long skirt today, which perfectly complemented her delicate appearance. She happily said to Xu Nuo: "Didn't I think Madam Ye's crabapple flowers were blooming well earlier? After you left just now, Ye The lady ordered two pots to be sent over."
Xu Nuo looked at it for a while and nodded with satisfaction. Mrs. Ye was good at tea ceremony and was also good at flower arrangement and trimming stamens. Xu Nuo promised that they would have new flower arrangements every time they went to the tea room.
"Begonias are trees. They will not grow well if they are planted in pots. We will move them to the flowerbed in front of the wing tomorrow morning." Xu Nuo lay down on the mat and spread out the large fonts.
Chuntang was a little confused. : "Madam, this flowerpot is big enough for the crabapples to grow up. And it's windy and rainy outside. The flowers might wither faster." She thinks there are two pots of beautiful flowers like this, and she puts them in the house and looks at them every day. better.
"Your name is Chun Tang, and it can be regarded as a crab apple. Do you want to grow it in a flower pot or in the yard?" Xu Nuo got up and propped his head with his hand and said.
After hearing this, Chuntang frowned and said coquettishly: "Madam, don't make fun of me. I am two years older than you, so I still understand these principles. I just feel that your room is empty. There are no flowers to reflect it."
Qi Qiyue laughed at the side: "Sister Chuntang, it's enough to have you as the background of a crabapple flower in my wife's room."
"You guys, when did you learn to be sharp-tongued? Let's see if I don't deal with you." Chuntang smiled and picked up the round fan to hit Qiyue. July deliberately didn't hide. This made Chuntang's hand stop in mid-air, neither moving forward nor retreating. Finally, he snorted and turned his head away from Qiyue.
Xu Nuo was very relaxed about the people in the house. They were not used to it at first, but later they relaxed and were not too restrictive. Xu Nuo was also happy to watch them play around.
"The flowers that Mrs. Ye has done must be good. Chun Tang, you can draw a few embroidery samples. When the time comes, embroider some handkerchiefs. In addition to giving some to mother, I will also give a few pieces to Mrs. Ye." Xu Nuo said, I took my pen and ink and prepared to draw these two pots of crabapples.
Qi Qi hurriedly came over to grind, and Chun Tang also moved over to sit on a table and lay on it to draw embroidery patterns.
Just after painting the red basin, a maid from Yingcheng Court came over and asked Xunuo to have dinner. Xunuo put down her pen and left in a hurry.
At Tiansheng Casino, Zhu Shang knocked Xiao Yuan on the head with a folding fan. Xiao Yuan turned his head, and Zhu Shang took the opportunity to snatch the handkerchief from his hand.
"What are you doing with such an ugly veil? Your old man didn't give you any money?" Zhu Shang looked at it with disgust and threw it to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan took it back, patted it carefully, folded it neatly and put it in his arms, and said angrily: "Iron money smells bad, don't touch it." After saying that, he picked up the pen from the desk and quickly wrote a letter.
Zhu Shang's squinted eyes opened slightly, and he said more inquiringly: "Where did it come from? If you don't tell me, I will check it." If he wanted to check, it wouldn't take much effort.
Xiao Yuan dried the letter, put it in an envelope, photographed Zhu Shang, and said proudly: "Someone gave it to me this morning."
Zhu Shang laughed out loud. He originally thought that Xiao Yuan was bored and wanted to try out female craftsmanship, so he embroidered such a strange looking handkerchief, but he didn't expect that it was a gift.
That man had the nerve to embroider such a virtue and give it away!
Zhu Shang thought to himself, Xiao Yuan never cared about anything, but today he cared so much about a handkerchief. Could it be Xu Liuxiu's?
Thinking of this, he laughed even harder, and in the end he lay down on the mat. He had not laughed so freely in many years.
Xu Liu can roll the dice no problem, but his embroidery skills are really...
Xiao Yuan was even more ridiculous. He had two wrinkled handkerchiefs embroidered with red lumps on them and protected them like a treasure.
Xiao Yuan glanced at Zhu Shang who was laughing so hard that he fell on the mat. He was very puzzled. He straightened his robe, picked up the letter on the ground and left.
When he was about to go out, he heard Zhu Shang shouting: "I was injured just yesterday. Be careful when you go out today."
Xiao Yuan nodded and left quickly.
After Xu Nuo had dinner, she followed Lu to make a colorful purse for the Dragon Boat Festival before returning to the house. He found a pot of white crabapple next to the red crabapple she painted. The petals were full and translucent, and the stems and leaves were bright.
Her painting of red begonias looks a bit silly in comparison.
Two pots of flowers painted on the ground are not at the same level.
Although this pot of flowers was exquisitely painted, Xu Nuo didn't have time to appreciate it and became immediately wary.
He took off the golden hairpin on his head and looked around, moved it slightly, and stabbed it behind the cage with all his strength.
The next moment, a head emerged from behind the cage. Xu Nuo recognized it as Xiao Yuan at a glance. His hand that moved downwards quickly stopped, and the hairpin stopped an inch before his left eye.
Xiao Yuan was sleeping in a daze. Seeing Xu Nuo's frightened look, he opened his mouth and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Xu Nuo looked at Xiao Yuan's expressionless face and was so angry that he couldn't speak. She almost blinded him, and he actually asked her what she was afraid of?
Can't he see the hairpin within an inch of his eyes?
He broke into a woman's boudoir, painted a better work next to the unfinished painting, and slept behind a cage. What on earth was he thinking?
If she hadn't stopped in time just now, his left eye would definitely be gone!
Only then did Xiao Yuan realize why Xu Nuo had that look on his face just now, his mouth opened wide, and he asked with a smile: "Do you dare to go to Wang's house? See what they are going to do?"
Xu Nuo's eyes brightened a little. But she was very angry, more than Xiao Yuan's cynical look.
Xiao Yuan's sleepiness had dissipated and he said in a deep voice: "I came today to thank you for taking in me last night. I had no other intention. I was behind the cage just now because I was worried that your maid would come in and see me. I didn't mean to scare you. But. Since you don’t dare to go, then I will go myself.”
As he spoke, he patted his robe and stood up.
He was chased yesterday, and when passing by Xu's house, he came in without thinking. As for the structure of Xu Mansion, he had already seen it and knew exactly where Mingjin Pavilion was. If Promise drove him away yesterday, he might bleed to death.
That's why I came here to express my gratitude and give Xu a chance to go to Wang's house to find out. But if he doesn’t promise to go, he won’t force him.
Although Xu Nuo was angry, she could tell that he was provoking the general and called Chuntang through the door. Tell Chuntang that there is no need to hold the lamp at night. She was ready to sleep.
Chuntang looked puzzled, why did the lady rest so early again?
"Even without you, I'm going to take a look at Wang's house." Xu Nuo took out the night clothes he had prepared from under the pillow, pointed at the back window and said, "You go out first, I'll come out immediately."
Since it was the Wang family that was responsible, and now that the Xu family has gotten the news and is looking for the cause of the incident, the Wang family must be thinking of ways to disrupt the Xu family's attention and delay time. Therefore, there is a high probability that Wang Ying will not be in the Liyuan. As for who else in the Wang family participated in this incident, Xu Nuo wanted to find out.
Xiao Yuan glanced at the clothes in Xu Nuo's hands. He smiled and said, "You saw me changing clothes yesterday. It's just in time for today..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Nuo threw a paperweight over and cursed in a low voice: "Can you do the same? Get out of here."
Xiao Yuan caught the paperweight and placed it on the ground. Ma Liu pulled it out from the back window and couldn't stop the smile on his lips.
Xu Nuo changed clothes quickly, took out a dagger from the cage and inserted it into his boots, and tied a rope around his waist before going out.
The two of them met, made a gesture, and left over the wall in the dusk.
The Xu family is in the north of Suzhou City, and the Wang family is in the east. However, the two of them walked quickly and crossed the alley, and they arrived in a short time.
Before entering Wang's house, Xiao Yuan introduced the structure of the palace to Xu Nuo. Seeing Xu Nuo's doubtful eyes, he explained a little more: "After coming to Suzhou, I have seen the structure of all the houses of all the people who can be named. There will be mistakes."
He came to Suzhou to find his senior brother, and he knew everything about not only these houses, but also the gambling houses and restaurants. It can be said that he is familiar with every place in Suzhou and can draw a picture in his mind.
There were many guards around the Wang family yard. The two of them searched around and stopped in front of a high wall.
Xiao Yuan naturally signaled Xunuo to step forward. Xunuo realized his intention and shook his head in disbelief: "Aren't all men being stepped on? And you can't climb such a wall?" Xiao Yuan was more than a head taller than her. Climbing this wall won't be much of a problem.
"I was injured yesterday, so please feel sorry for me." Xiao Yuan was serious, without any guilt or embarrassment on his face.
Xunuo glanced at him, untied the rope from her waist, with her homemade flying tiger claws on the top, threw the rope to the wall and fixed it, and quickly climbed up.
Just as Xiao Yuan was about to climb, Xu Nuo put away the flying tiger claws, jumped off the wall, and entered the palace.
Since he was injured, there would be no advantage in entering the Wang family. If the nursing home found him, it would be inconvenient to escape. What's more, his injury is not healed, and climbing over the wall may cause the wound to open.
Looking at the affairs of the Wang family, she has no problem being alone. After all, she has done many similar things in her previous life.
According to what Xiao Yuan said about the structure of the Wang family, Xu Nuo quickly visited Mrs. Wang's yard and went outside the main hall, only to find that the lights were dark and no one was there.
After going there again, I entered the place where Mrs. Wang lived. The lights were on and several people were talking inside.
Xu Nuo avoided the maid guarding outside and quietly walked around to the back, preparing to eavesdrop from the back window.
Hearing that Mrs. Wang was lecturing people, she seemed very angry.
Xu Nuo's face changed slightly, and she put her ear to the window, ready to listen carefully. (To be continued...)
