The moonlight penetrated into the room, casting a faint silver light, and Xu Nuo's eyes moved away from Xiao Yuan's slender hand. Ice@Fire!Chinese ..com
Although he is cynical and rogue in his behavior, the bigger the occasion, the more ruffian he becomes, and he always looks arrogant and provocative to everyone he speaks to.
She had doubted more than once whether he was from a noble family, but after seeing his eating appearance today, her previous doubts disappeared immediately.
The bigger the family, the more rules and regulations there are. Every habit of the children is taught from an early age. Such habits developed since childhood are difficult to change and cannot be concealed.
When they were eating the roast duck just now, both Xiao Yuan and Xu Nuo went straight to it. Xu Nuo's hands were full of oil stains, but Xiao Yuan only touched the meat with the thumb and index finger of his right hand from beginning to end. The bones after eating were arranged quite neatly, and there was no trace of oil stains on his lips. No, the only oil stains on my hands were quickly wiped off with a handkerchief.
When he peeled off the rice dumplings, not even half a grain of glutinous rice was left on the rice dumpling leaves. After eating four rice dumplings, his hands were still clean.
Although he eats quickly, every move he makes is gentle!
Xu Nuo never thought that Xiao Yuan could be associated with the word "gentle", but he was indeed very gentle in his appearance, just like a son carefully cultivated by a powerful family.
Although she is gentle, she doesn't feel like Xiao Yuanniang!
Xu Nuo really wanted to ask Xiao Yuan about eavesdropping, but he remembered that with his skills, eavesdropping on anyone's conversation was no problem. What's more, she had no right to interfere with what others did, nor was she qualified to ask him to answer, so she didn't ask further questions and asked casually: "Who did you say?"
Her mother has really been thinking about her marriage recently. She went to Yingcheng Yuan several times and bumped into her mother and Aunt Li discussing the matter in the room.
She had good ears and could hear the conversation between the two from a distance, but they stopped talking when she entered the room.
"Everyone who went to the Ye family's villa today said it, and in the end it seemed that he was the fifteenth son of the Ye family."
Xiao Yuan didn't expect Xu Nuo to be so calm. He was not curious as to why he eavesdropped on the conversation between Mr. Xu and Mrs. Lu, and his heart was pounding. Was Xu Liu Niang actually deeper than she seemed?
People who grew up with senior brothers should be as simple as a blank slate!
Xu Nuo didn't know that she asked a question that made Xiao Yuan think so much. He said "Oh" and was not interested in the topic just now. He asked: "Can they tell you how to solve the Wang family's matter?"
Her parents would not tell her these things. Now there is an information officer like Xiao Yuan. She had to make the most of it.
Xiao Yuan glanced at Xu Nuo strangely. She didn't care about her life-long affairs, but she asked this?
"The second master of the Wang family apologized. It seemed that he wanted to compensate the Xu family for a teahouse, and asked the Xu family not to spread the matter. Wang Ying also said sorry to Ding, but Ding soon found out that Wang Ying and Xu Guyu were It’s over.”
Xiao Yuan's voice was casual, with a playful look in his eyes. He looked like he was waiting for a good show.
Xu Nuo was already used to Xiao Yuan's attitude, so naturally she didn't know these things. He felt that there would be a sequel to this matter: "With Wang Ying's acting style, he will not tell the eldest aunt directly about this matter, and make sure that the eldest aunt will not publicize the matter after learning about it."
Once word spreads that Wang Qiniang is the daughter of Wang Ying and Xu Guyu, Wang Qiniang's marriage will be over.
With Wang Ying's love for Wang Qiniang. She would not let such a good marriage get away, let alone do anything to damage Wang Qiniang's reputation.
But what capital does she have to ensure that Ding doesn't tell the truth? You must know that Ding is also a powerful character, only when others suffer her losses. But she never suffered a loss.
"Yes, Wang Ying is a smart person. She probably designed it to make Uncle Xu think that Ding knew what happened back then, and then let Uncle Xu admit it. But she must be holding something in her hand, which is enough to make Ding dare not If you tell me about this, you can only stop sulking in your heart."
Only Xu Guyu's personal admission would make Ding believe this.
Just looking at Wang Ying's repeated interference in the Wang family's business affairs, we know that she is not a person who can settle down, and she has done such stupid things, and she should have died long ago.
There was something interesting in Xiao Yuan's eyes. He was best at investigating the background and exploring the root of the incident. He knew what happened between Wang Ying and Xu Guyu more than ten years ago precisely because someone asked him to carefully investigate the Wang family's affairs more than ten years ago. , he inadvertently dug it up when he dug deeply into the ground.
Xu Nuo agreed with Xiao Yuan's statement and nodded.
She and Xiao Yuan could figure out Wang Ying's purpose and what he might do. Her father had personally investigated the whole thing a few days ago and might have a clearer idea, and he might even have begun to lay out the plan.
Dafang has been in chaos recently. Xu Nuo thought that although he was taking advantage of the situation, maybe he could take this opportunity to get back the tea houses that should have belonged to his father?
Her father was thin-faced and didn't want to quarrel with Dafang, but her face was thick enough.
Xu Nuo thought about many things, and finally looked at Xiao Yuan and said seriously thank you. Thank you for accompanying her to Wang's house at night even though he was seriously injured. Thank you for the news and roast duck rice dumplings he brought today.
Xiao Yuan stood up, his eyes slid over Xu Nuo calmly, and finally stopped on her clear and indifferent eyes. His lips wriggled and he finally said nothing and turned around to leave.
Xu Nuo looked at the back of this uninvited guest and remained silent. He stood for a while to digest it, then closed the back window before going to bed.
May 10th arrived as scheduled. Xu Pingqi and five or six classmates from Dingjia Academy came to Xu's house after class at noon. The eldest among them were Song Qi and Ji Xuan, both fourteen years old, and then Ye Qingchen. The rest were not Ten years old is nine years old.
Lu personally entertained them and set a table of exquisite dishes for them in the flower hall.
In the tea room, Xu Nuo saw that the time was almost up, so he and Madam Ye asked for leave in advance.
Mrs. Ye nodded, with a clear smile in her eyes, and said: "Fifteenth Lang has always said he would come over during the Dragon Boat Festival, and today he finally got his wish. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has not celebrated his birthday at home." As he spoke, Look outward.
Ye Qingchen’s birthday is also today?
Surprised, Xu Nuo didn't ask. After leaving the tea room, he immediately turned to ask Chuntang.
Chuntang thought for a while and then said: "Erlangjun went to the Xu Mansion of the Ding family in June last year. It was the first time in nearly a year that someone was invited to the house. I don't know much about Ye Fifteenlang. But I heard Others say that the fifteenth prince of the Ye family is also born in May, and they don’t know the rest."
Every time Xu Nuo asked about family matters, Chuntang would tell her more so that she could understand better.
Xu Nuo nodded. After ordering, two women brought out her tea set.
Just as they moved the tea sets out of the tea room, they saw Xu Pingqi and two young men walking over quickly, and then they went to the flower hall in the outer courtyard together.
When Xu Nuo entered the house, there was no one in the flower hall, but the water in the cup was still steaming, which showed that everyone had stayed away.
In the middle of the flower hall, there was a six-panel screen with pictures of mountains and distant waters. Xu Nuo could tell at a glance that this picture was painted by his father.
The Xu family only needs to be put to use. All hanging are Xu Gucheng's paintings and pens.
It's not that Xu Gucheng likes to show off. It was Mrs. Xu and Xu Guyu’s idea.
After Xu Nuo sat down, he heard a young man's voice coming from outside. Several people entered the room and seemed to stand in a row. Then I heard all of them saying, "So-and-so, pay homage to Mrs. Xu Liu."
Xu Nuo stood up from the mat in fright and returned the greeting through the screen: "The Sixth Mother of the Xu family pays homage to you all." The future number one scholar saluted her so carefully, and she was a little shorter than usual when she saluted.
She just heard six different voices. Xu Pingqi, Xu Sanlang, Ji Xuan, Ye Qingchen, Song Qi, only Ding Wulang was unknown to her.
Xu Sanlang is Xu Guyu's bastard. He is also his only son, eight years old, well-known, and shy.
Xu Nuo did not expect that Ji Xuan would also be invited by Xu Pingqi. Didn’t Ji Xuan study medicine? How did you become a student of the Ding family academy?
In a flash of lightning, a white line flashed in her mind, since Xu Pingqi knew Ji Xuan. And when he came to Xu's house to check his mother's pulse, he only covered his face with a scarf. There was no reason why Xu Pingqi couldn't recognize him!
At that time, Mr. Ding greatly praised Ji Xuan's medical skills. After Lv's throat recovered, she wanted to repay her kindness many times, but could never find Ji Xuan, while Xu Pingqi remained silent from beginning to end.
This younger brother really shouldn’t be underestimated!
Even a bit sinister?
Xu Nuo sighed and prepared to ask Xu Pingqi when the meeting was over to find out how much he knew.
She ordered tea behind the screen, and when the tea was ready, Chun Tang would hurriedly bring it out, and there would be a burst of admiration from the other side of the screen.
She made Xu Pingqi's profile, Xu Sanlang's front face, and Chun Tang and Qiyue's faces on the tea soup one after another in the form of a tea show.
They came to watch the tea show with her this time just to see the portraits she made, so she only painted portraits.
A young gentleman on the other side of the screen complained: "Sixth lady, you have made a maid's face into a tea play, can you make one for me?"
Of course, the promise didn't matter, but meeting here today, separated by a screen, she had never seen their faces, so she couldn't do their portraits, which was really helpless.
If you go out for a banquet, it is normal for men and women to meet each other, or it doesn't matter if someone comes to visit you. But today, only one girl is promised, and the other six are teenagers, so the men and women have to take care of it.
Although Xu Nuo, who has a mental age of twenty-four, treats the six people on the other side of the screen as children, she looks like a twelve-year-old girl.
Someone suggested that Xu Nuo should wear a curtain hat so that the screen could be removed.
After several people asked Xu Nuo's opinion, they sent Chuntang to ask Lu.
Mrs. Lu valued Ye Qingchen, and there were not many opportunities like this, so she immediately agreed. She also picked a curtain hat that could cover her neck and asked Chuntang to bring it over. Then she sent a message to the gentlemen to sit further away.
After promising to put on the curtain hat, two women removed the screen.
She stood up and saluted the people across from her. Because today was Xu Pingqi's birthday, she wore something a little brighter, a pink jacket and red skirt, and a very exquisite and gorgeous headdress.
The disappearance of Xu Nuo many years ago made a big fuss, and later the rumors of the poisonous mother made a big fuss. These gentlemen have all heard of her name. After the Dragon Boat Festival, they even learned that she had good calligraphy and played in the Ye family courtyard. That wonderful song, I really want to see her.
Xu Nuo raised his head, and the first thing he saw was Ji Xuan, who was dressed in white robes and standing quietly at the farthest end. His eyes were still as clear and clean as a clear spring water.
