Chapter 264: Changing to the wind with unpredictable intentions

Looking at the pile of bright red posts in his hand, Liuli touched his forehead and let out a long sigh.

Tomorrow is Laba, a big day when every household prepares animals to worship ancestors and uses medicine to drive away epidemics. It is time to start making preparations for the New Year. There are many things to buy and even more gift lists to make, but Ayan is the first. A daughter was born in the day, and she was not even out of the moon yet. Han Si was confused about everything except practicing medicine. In addition, there was Yunyi in the prince's palace who was in trouble whenever Qu Chongyu was away. Although there was an extra girl named Qu Jingyu this year. After all, Liuli was still not at ease. She had to send people to two places to ask questions several times every day, so she was even busier than in previous years. If Ji Chu still has to dress up every day to deal with these high-ranking women in Xizhou, will she still live her life?

 Xiaomi looked at those posts, curled her lips in disdain, and murmured in a low voice, "They are all people who take advantage of the excitement."

Liuli smiled and shook her head. Xiaomi's words were not wrong. For more than a month since Su Nanjin came to Xizhou, her Pei residence was one of the cleanest places in Xizhou city. But in November, the 50,000 stone After Liangmi entered Xizhou, there was an endless stream of posts about people wanting to visit her and inviting her to banquets and outings. They were just words and tricks. In the final analysis, they were just two words: "wine tax". She could only smile and pretend to be confused, but she couldn't pretend anymore, so she said, "How can I understand these government affairs? Chang Shi never told me." Originally, these days had gradually become quieter, but a few days ago, when the news came that Pei Xingjian and Qu Chongyu had annihilated thousands of horse thieves in Western Xinjiang, and that Daduhu wanted to take credit for them, this post started flying around again. …

 It’s really a waste of time to deal with these people. Liuli took a long breath and pushed all the posts forward, "You ask the stewards to go to these houses to say sorry, and then say that I am not feeling well, can't go out, and can't see guests. Please forgive me."

 Xiaomi responded crisply, took the post and walked out. Within half a day, several more groups of people came to the door and delivered some valuable medicinal materials and supplements. Liuli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only look at it once, and write down the people who wanted to repay the gift and the amount of the gift. Before she could count them one by one, Xiaomi's smiling voice came from outside the curtain, "Ms. Yun is here!"

As soon as the door curtain swung, Yun Yi came in like a gust of wind. He saw Liuli sitting in front of the desk and keeping accounts. He was startled for a moment, slapped his forehead and laughed, "Sister, you are really fine!" He turned around and shouted, "Jing Niang" , I lost!"

After a few breaths, Xiaomi's greetings and Qu Jingtang's slow voice were heard outside, "You have also seen the methods of those people. If you are still like this, the aunt will definitely be even more impure. I will do the same." It doesn’t feel good to push one’s body, but it’s better to keep it out of sight.”

Liuli smiled, put away her pen and paper, and stood up, "Jing Niang is a rare visitor."

Qu Jingtang was still dressed plainly, and the cold sarcasm in his smile was exactly the same as that of Qu Chongyu, "Who taught me that in Xizhou City, you are the only one who can hide safely here." As he said this, the elder on the table went to As soon as he sat down on the stool, he waved lazily to Xiaomi and said, "Even if your wife hits me today, I won't leave. If there is anything to eat or play with, bring it quickly. Don't hide anything!"

Xiaomi responded "Yes" with a busy smile. Liuli couldn't help turning her head and glanced at Yunyi, wondering in her heart: Jing Niang had only moved to the Crown Prince's Mansion for more than two months. Could it be that she had been infected with Yunyi's fatigue? ?

Yun Yi hurriedly waved her hands, "I have nothing to do with you!" Then she pointed at Jing Niang and said, "Sister, you don't know, she just pretends to be a fairy in front of others. In fact, she has a worse temper than me. She is the best at saying weird things. Today she also said that those women I'm afraid they're all reincarnated as fleas. Seeing that winter is coming, how can I survive by sucking blood for warmth?"

Liuli couldn't help but laugh, "That's right..." She really is Qu Chongyu's sister.

Qu Jingtang raised his eyebrows lightly, "Is it possible that I have wronged them?"

Yunyi sat down with a sad face, "I would rather have some fleas on my body, or listen to the sarcastic comments like before, than face their smiling faces every day now! I don't know when Yulang will come back, I I can’t stand the noise anymore!”

Liuli suddenly nodded with concern.

Qu Jingtang took a sip of the hot jujube juice served by Xiaomi and looked at the two of them with a half-smile, "You two are really unusual. What someone wants in life is just to have everyone look up to her and apologize. , when it comes to you, it becomes a burden."

Yun Yi asked curiously, "Do you think this is looking up and making excuses for laughing? Why do I feel that the fishhook with bait and the horse trip holding the rope are meant to coax us into taking the bait so that we can be slaughtered and put into the pot? Is it possible? What do some people want in life just to be treated like a fat sheep?”

Everyone in the room burst out laughing. Qu Jingtang almost spit out the jujube juice in his mouth. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed so hard that he couldn't lift his head. Liuli suppressed her laughter and stepped forward to pat Qu Jingtang on the back. Good luck. After a long while, she regained her composure and said with a smile, "If your words get out, I'm afraid it will **** people off again."

Liuli was a little surprised, "Who is the mirror lady talking about?"

Qu Jingniang's expression was a little indifferent, "Let's not mention those idlers." She held the cup and smiled and said, "Why do you make the jujube juice here better than elsewhere?"

Liuli shook her head, "You have to ask my maid, she likes to think about these things when she has nothing to do." She turned around and was about to find someone to call Zizhi when the little maid outside said softly, "Madam, Madam Zhang is in the outer courtyard. She said she is coming. Visit the sick.”

 Zhang Minniang? Liuli couldn't help but be stunned, what was she doing? The little maid whispered again, "Ms. Zhang said that she hasn't seen Mrs. Qu and Jing Niang for a long time."

Liuli shook her head, "Then invite her in!" After saying that, he took the hairpin ring, went to bed and leaned on the soft pillow, smiling bitterly, "Do I look like a good lice farmer?"

Yunyi frowned tightly, "She doesn't look like a flea, she's actually a leech!"

Liuli glanced at her in surprise, and Qu Jingtang said calmly, "You don't know something. This Minniang has looked for Yunyi three or four times in the past few days, but she was pushed away. She never thought that she would catch up with her today." Here! She is the one I am most impatient to see in this city of Xizhou..." The sound of footsteps and voices came from the courtyard. Qu Jingtang stopped talking. After a while, the little maid raised the curtain. , revealing Zhang Minniang’s slim figure.

She was dressed very elegantly today. Under the green lotus-colored brocade cloak, she only wore an 80% new beige jacket, paired with a plain snow-green six-piece long skirt. She looked a little more feminine than usual. After coming in, He smiled and saluted Qu Jingtang and Yun Yi, then walked to the bed and bowed, and looked at Liuli's face carefully, "Buddha bless me, my sister-in-law looks good." Then she explained with a smile, "Amin today I heard my sister-in-law talking about how my sister-in-law seemed to feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden, so I thought about it in a hurry, and then I heard that Jing Niang and Yun Niang were also here, so I had the courage to come and disturb her. "

Liuli leaned forward on the bed, "Thank you Min Niang for your concern. I'm probably used to being lazy, but these days I've been busier with people coming and going, so I couldn't stand it anymore, which made Min Niang laugh." After your great joy, I have not yet said congratulations to you and wish you a happy marriage with Mr. Su."

Zhang Minniang seemed not to understand the meaning of Liuli's words, and smiled without changing her face, "Thank you Auntie Auntie. Auntie Auntie's body should be taken care of more."

Liu Li nodded and smiled, but did not answer. Zhang Minniang turned around and walked to Yun Yi and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence that I finally met you today."

Yun Yi's tone was undisguisedly wary, "What do you want from me?"

 Zhang Minniang smiled softly, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't know where to put the portrait that my sister-in-law gave me. I would like to ask how to place the portrait of Yun Niang?"

Yunyi gave her a puzzled look and said, "Hang it on the wall of the inner study room."

 Zhang Minniang seemed a little hesitant, "Is it appropriate to hang it there?"

Yun Yi became more and more confused, "Why is it inappropriate?"

 Zhang Minniang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've also hung it in the study, but I still think it's a little inappropriate. I wonder how Yun Niang hung it. Maybe I can take a look?"

As soon as these words came out, Liuli and Qujingtang, not to mention Yunyi, showed surprise. They really couldn't tell what kind of medicine was buried in Zhang Minniang's gourd. Yunyi thought for a while and said impatiently, "How about another day?"

Zhang Minniang sat down calmly and said, "Any day is fine, it's up to you. Anyway, I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a while. Today is such a coincidence that I wanted to disturb my sister-in-law for a while so that I can talk to you later." Go back with Jing Niang." He then smiled at Jing Niang and said, "I hear everyone talking about your Wang Ming Mansion every day, and they are all envious."

Qu Jingtang smiled indifferently, "It's nothing. He just has a more practical mind and doesn't know how to act according to the wind, so he won't be in a dilemma."

 Zhang Minniang smiled and nodded, "Exactly, Mirror Lady is so lucky..."

Listening to Zhang Minniang's soft words as if nothing had happened, Yun Yi couldn't help but frown tightly. She looked up and saw Liuli's expression was a bit impatient. She couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and said, "I Let’s go back first. Do you want to go with me?”

Zhang Minniang was a little surprised when she stopped talking and laughed, "Is Minniang going home? It would be great to see her today." She looked at Qu Jingtang eagerly, "Jing Niang is going back together." ?”

Qu Jingniang hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "I want to sit for a while longer." After saying that, she winked at her maid, who nodded, and waited until Zhang Minniang politely and thoughtfully left. He went out behind Yun Yi and followed him with brisk steps.

Listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing, Liuli shook her head and sighed. This Zhang Minniang was really a headache, and she was a little confused. She was definitely not interested in such trivial matters as where the portrait was hung. , What is the purpose of being so persistent in wanting to see Yunyi and see the portrait these days?

She was lost in thought when she heard Qu Jingtang suddenly shout in a low voice, "Oops!"

I'm going to send it to the airport soon. I'll upload it first and fix it later. I'll try to get more code tomorrow...
