"Fell asleep??"
The wind and snow sent people home, and the carriage swayed in front of the champion's house.
When Cai Luan saw Jia Qi hugging the little girl, she slightly curved her mouth and her eyes were filled with amusement.
Jia Qi didn't say much and shook his head, "Don't think that I am so dirty. Go clean up a house and wait until she settles down to talk about anything else!"
Cai Luan covered her mouth and smiled, "If the slave family hadn't known the details of the Marquis, I would have been deceived by someone's serious expression!!"
Jia Qi rolled her eyes angrily, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, Xiang Ling, go ahead~~"
When Cai Luan heard Jia Qi's words, she knew that the old man was probably angry, so she quickly pulled Xiang Ling and said with a smile: "I understand, it's not okay to go to the slave's house~~"
Cai Luan took Xiang Ling to clean up the house. It didn't take much effort at all. It was just getting two new quilts, two fire pots, adding some girl's rouge and gouache, and preparing two new dresses. Just a few coats.
These are all ready-made and don't take much effort.
On the way, Xiangling asked aloud: "Sister Cailuan, which room should we clean up?"
Cai Luan heard Xiang Ling's words, reached out and tapped her forehead, and said with a smile: "Why, you're scared!!"
Xiangling heard Cai Luan's words and blinked, "What is sister Cai Luan talking about?? We are going to clean up the house!!"
Cai Luan felt happy in her heart. This little girl has a simple mind and can't hide anything. But according to Jia Qi's character, even if he wanted to do something, he would not touch her first. Firstly, she is too young, and secondly, Jia Qi's current He is his good brother.
"Don't worry, your uncle still cares about you the most!!"
"No way~~"
...
"You have been following sister Xichun for so many years. I already know the cause and effect of what happened today. Xichun is very good to you. Your uncle, I, was also fished out. People should be self-aware. If there are any unnecessary words I don’t want to say more, so you can do it by yourself~~”
Jia Qi temporarily placed Xichun in his room, covered her with a thick blanket, and then said to the little maid who followed Xichun into the painting.
Ru Hua had been silent since she entered the Hou Mansion. When she heard Jia Qi's words, she stood aside and nodded cautiously.
Then Jia Qi said no more and turned around to go to the study.
Just when Jia Qi left, Xichun's eyelashes lying on the couch moved slightly. It was obvious that this girl should have woken up long ago and was just pretending to be asleep!
She opened her eyes, looked at the little maid beside her, and said softly: "Enter the painting!!"
I was still in a daze when I entered the painting, and suddenly I heard a familiar voice coming over, and I couldn't help shouting: "Girl, you're not asleep~~"
Hearing Ru Hua's words, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Xichun's face. She had just woken up. She was not pretending to be asleep. Since she had been dreaming a few days ago, she had been sleeping very lightly. She would wake up whenever there was any disturbance. Today in Jia Beside Qin, she rarely slept so deeply.
She woke up just after Jia Qi left.
"I just woke up, Xin... where is my brother!!"
Xichun rubbed his sleepy eyes that were still a little sleepy.
He entered the painting and said casually: "Master Hou just went out, I don't know where he went??"
Recalling what Jia Qi said to her before, Ruhua knelt on the ground and said again: "Girl, this time Ruhua has caused trouble for you!! Ruhua is willing to be punished~~"
Xichun looked at the painting and raised his eyebrows. This heartless maid was not stupid, but she didn't do it all for her sake.
"What are you punishing for? It's not because of you. How dare you scold Mr. Bao?"
Xichun knew why Mrs. Wang plotted against her. Wasn't it because she said a few words about the phoenix egg? He was mentally fragile and wanted to seek death and survival, but it really seemed like this at the moment! ! Compared with Jia Qi, he is really in the same heaven and on earth.
She was sure that Phoenix Egg didn't have the courage to stand on the opposite side of Jia Mu, but Jia Chu dared. In Jia Chu's body, she felt an indomitable spirit and a mountain-like thickness. A gentleman has certain things to do and certain things not to do.
It is hard to imagine that this is a reckless man who kills people without blood, rather than a scholar.
"Go and pour me some tea~~"
Xichun directed Ru Hua to pour himself tea. When Ru Hua turned around to pour tea, Xichun began to whisper to himself again.
"Yes, hello, your brother Qi, that's it!"
...
In the study, Jia Qi had just sat down when he saw Er Niu walking in.
"Is something wrong??"
Erniu cupped his fists and said, "General, Miss Lin is here!!"
When Jia Qi heard this, he was slightly startled. Daiyu is here. It seems that this girl is still worried about her father. She must be here to ask for help this time!
“Where are the people??”
Erniu touched his forehead and said, "Go to the main hall! The maids in the general's room are waiting on you!"
Everyone in their house knew that Lin Daiyu had a special status, and she was most likely the mistress of them all, so they did not dare to neglect and respectfully invited her to the lobby.
Jia Qi shook his head, then stood up, "Okay, I got it, go and do your work!!"
Since Lin Ruhai had sent someone to pass the message before, Lin Ruhai probably didn't want to send someone herself. If Daiyu came today, she might sneak over by herself. This girl went out and became a lot more courageous. She also learned how to behave like Xichun. set.
Lin Ruhai's move south involves a lot of things. Although he is not afraid, the current situation in the capital is indeed as Lin Ruhai said, it is on the verge of breaking out. If he doesn't take action then, others may not. Especially the one sitting on the dragon throne.
Once something happens on his side, that person may not be able to sit still. Does Miaoyu know about his current state? ? No, it should be because Master Dingxuan knows too much, right? ? If you knew it, what happened on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month would be so interesting.
The difference between Zhixuan and Celestial Signs is not even a slight difference in combat power. If Master Dingxuan’s fortune-telling on that day was his current self, then it would have been extremely correct for him not to take action when he rescued Xue Pan. 's decided.
So now is not the best time to take action.
In the main hall, not long after Daiyu sat down, Cai Luan and Xiang Ling came over. After all, they just clicked their lips and there was no need for them to do those small things themselves.
Then they heard the report from the servants that Lin Daiyu was here, so they hurried over.
Xiao Xichun, who was in Jia Qi's room, heard something moving outside and asked Ru Hua to come out and inquire about it. After hearing that it was Daiyu who had come, she was also quite confused. This Sister Lin is probably the first time she has come to the Champion House today. !
Didn't it mean that it was inappropriate for her to come to the Hou Mansion before they were married? Why did you come at this time? ? She thought about it and combined it with some of the information she heard on the carriage before. She felt that the Lin family must have something, or it was a big deal, otherwise they would not have chosen this time to come, so she came too.
So when Jia Qi came to the main hall, he saw this scene. Daiyu was there, Xichun was there, Cailuan, Xiangling, Qingwen were there, and even Miaoyu and Guan Ziyue were here.
Almost all the girls in the house came. Miaoyu didn't say anything to the side. She glanced at Xichun from time to time. Her hands hidden in the sleeves of her wide robe kept moving back and forth, as if they were calculating something. Of course, these movements were very secretive. Others Several people only felt that Miaoyu was a little strange and did not notice her little movements.
A few other people started chatting.
When Daiyu saw Xichun here, she felt a little strange. She had only left Jia Mansion for an afternoon, so why was she here? ?
"Sister Xichun, why are you here??"
However, this is not easy to answer. Xichun is now the one who has been quarreling with each other. Mother Jia probably doesn’t want to see this disobedient granddaughter anymore, not to mention Mrs. Wang, who almost sent her son away. This way She can't afford the Bodhisattva.
Cai Luan and Xiang Ling knew why Xichun came, but they couldn't say it. After all, the person involved was here and it was still the same thing.
Xichun said indifferently: "It's nothing, I just said a few words to Mr. Bao, and the old lady kicked me out!!"
When Daiyu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. What kind of fuss was going on? ?
How long had she been away from Jia Mansion? How could something like this happen and be kicked out by the old lady? ? Will this have an impact on Xichun's maiden name? With such a name, which family would dare to ask for it in the future? ?
"How could this happen~~"
Daiyu asked nervously.
At this moment, a voice came in, "Don't listen to her nonsense, I am the one who picked her up to stay here for a few days!! Besides, who can catch my sister?"
Everyone stood up when they heard the sound.
After a while, Jia Qi came in from the door.
When Xichun heard Jia Qi's words, she raised her little head and looked elsewhere, but she did not refute Jia Qi's words.
"Brother Qi~~"
Daiyu stood up and greeted Jia Qi.
Jia Qi nodded slightly in response.
"Sister Lin is here because of Uncle Lin's trip south!"
Jia Qi guessed Dai Yu's purpose, so he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
After Daiyu sat down, she looked a little nervous. She was no longer the young lady who knew nothing. Lin Ruhai's trip to the south of the Yangtze River didn't seem to be a big problem, but the matter of salt luck involved too many things. Who can be sure that the person behind this matter is not someone above the court.
Once these people work together to murder Shen Zao, this matter may kill his father in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Xing, my father was ordered to go south to solve the problem of salt transportation. I'm worried..."
Jia Qi nodded and said softly: "I can understand Sister Lin's mood, but I have already arranged this matter. Don't worry, no matter how many years it has been, Uncle Lin and I have become a family. I won’t let anything happen to him!!”
Jia Qi's words made Daiyu blush. What kind of family is this? ! But she heard that Jia Qi had already arranged the matter, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. Since Jia Qi had made arrangements, there should be no problem with this matter.
"Brother Xing, are you having any difficulty arranging your father's affairs~"
Thinking of what Lin Ruhai had explained to her before, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask it again, but she felt a little embarrassed when she asked it. Isn't this obvious? ?
But she was worried that things would really bring inconvenience to Jia Qi. After all, in her heart, Jia Qi was equally important to her, and she didn't want Jia Qi to make things difficult for both sides~~
I have to say that the youngest daughter’s family is still very conflicted.
"It's nothing~just some small tricks!!"
