Chapter 84: Temper
It is natural to be happy when something is lost and found.
However, the person who returned it was Xiao Shu, which was somewhat strange, and Jiang Xuening was not very used to it. Fortunately, Xiao Shu didn't intend to use this to talk to her, and left after returning the sachet.
So she was also happy and continued to watch Zhou Baoying and Fang Miao play chess.
This time it's Go.
Fang Miao's move has already entered the long test, and it will be uncertain for a while.
Zhou Baoying looked bored, so she grabbed the peanuts beside her and peeled them. She also turned her head to look at Yao Xi and You Yue, and asked curiously, "Have the two elder sisters gone to enjoy the plum blossoms too?"
Yao Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Shu had left, but hearing Zhou Baoying's question, she couldn't help but feel a little tighter, and she forced a nonchalant smile and said, "I went too, but I didn't look at it for long. I talked with the ladies of the palaces."
Zhou Baoying said "Oh".
She seemed to want to say something, but just at this time Fang Miao fell down with a "snap", her eyes immediately looked away, and she immediately clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "I knew Sister Fang Miao was coming down here! Look! I will eat half of your eyes!"
Fang Miao saw where her finger landed, and immediately shouted anxiously: "You! How can you get down here? No, no, I haven't made up my mind yet, I won't get down here!"
"No regrets, sister!"
Zhou Baoying had to win another game with great difficulty, so she was not allowed to regret the game easily, and the two began to fight on the chessboard.
Yao Xicai went through a lot of dangers, but felt mentally and mentally exhausted, pretended nothing happened and looked in the Liushui Pavilion for a while, then said he was sleepy, and went out.
Seeing this, You Yue followed her with a flash of her eyes.
When Jiang Xuehui came out of her room, she happened to see the two of them coming back one after the other, and greeted them lightly, but maybe it was because she had refuted them face to face before, the expressions of the two of them didn't look very close, It seemed weirdly cold.
At the moment she didn't care.
When I returned to my room after dinner, I noticed that Jiang Xuening's sachet was scratched, so I asked, "What's wrong with this sachet?"
Jiang Xuening looked down, and said: "It probably dropped it accidentally, was picked up by Xiao Shu, and it was already like this when it was returned to me, it must have been scratched somewhere."
The sachets and sweat towels are all belongings of the daughter.
She is used to messing around outside, and doesn't care much about these little details, but Jiang Xuehui was raised in the back house of the Gaomen, she frowned slightly when she heard this, and said: "When did you lose it?"
The relationship between Jiang Xuening and her was not close, and the two of them would not speak unless necessary.
Now Jiang Xuehui took the initiative to ask.
After careful consideration, Jiang Xuening knew what she was worried about. After all, if this kind of private property went into someone's hands in the palace, and if something about men and women was brought up, it would be enough to cause a big deal in the eyes of someone with a heart. up.
She didn't reply either, she just took off the sachet again and opened it to look at it.
There are still dried flowers and incense slices inside, but nothing else.
It's just that Du Ruofang's breath was originally delicate, and there was a refreshing fragrance in it...
Very light, but still smellable.
Jiang Xuening's heart shuddered slightly, and what came to mind was the plum blossom feast in the palace that she did not attend today. From going out this morning to having dinner in the evening, the places she stayed and passed were only from Yangzhizhai to Fengchen Palace, and the palace roads in the middle. There was absolutely no plum blossoms in the middle, let alone the tiger-foot plum. The earliest...
Unless Xiao Shu uses plum fragrance.
But as far as she knew, it wasn't.
Jiang Xuehui just wanted to ask when she lost it, afraid that someone in the palace would make a fuss about the sachet, but she didn't expect that Jiang Xuening would frown after taking the sachet off.
She couldn't help worrying: "Isn't it?"
Jiang Xuening's eyes were covered with a layer of gloom, she only looked at the gate of Yangzhi Zhai and the palace road outside the gate, and without answering, she tied the sachet and saw that there was no one else around, so she went straight down the steps and looked carefully all the way. with.
When she reached the gate of De Yang Zhi Zhai, she suddenly remembered something and stopped walking.
The palace gates in the palace are all made of wood.
At this moment, the two doors are still closed, and round copper rings hang down on both sides. But at the waist height of the door on the left, there is a wooden spike protruding from it, and a few strands of extremely slender moon white silk hang from it.
Jiang Xuening took a closer look and found out.
She gently lifted her fingers to pick off the few strands of silk, and then spread out the sachet in her palm. The scratch on the sachet was still fresh, and the moon-white background was exactly the same as the thin silk.
Thinking back again, when she returned to Yangzhi Zhai from Fengchen Palace earlier, she did hold this door and looked back.
Thinking about it this way, it should have been lost at that time.
At that time, I met You Yue and Yao Xi, but I didn't see anyone else. But this sachet was picked up by Xiao Shu in the end, and there were a few wisps of plum fragrance on it...
Seeing her posture, Jiang Xuehui knew something had happened.
But Jiang Xuening seemed to know what she wanted to say, and said, "Don't worry about it."
After speaking, he took the sachet and went back to the room.
After experiencing the incident where Yang Zhizhai was confiscated and framed last time, Jiang Xuening has become a lot more careful. After all, she is no longer the queen of the previous life, and even a little conspiracy by others can put her in danger.
Is there anything strange about this, let's talk about it for the time being.
The important thing is, if there is something wrong, what will be involved?
The lamp was lit in the room, and the sachet and the strand of silk thread were placed under the lamp. Jiang Xuening sat in front of the desk and looked at it for a long time.
It was late at night.
Soon, the laughter from the Liushui Pavilion subsided, followed by the voice of Fang Miao saying goodbye to Zhou Baoying, probably after the chess game was finally over and they agreed to continue the game tomorrow.
At this time, Jiang Xuening thought: Instead of thinking and doubting here, it's better to go to Xiao Shu directly tomorrow, and pre-emptively ask. After all, what has never been done is what has not been done. If others want to frame it, it is inevitable that there will be incompleteness and imperfection, and flaws will definitely be exposed, and people will find out their flaws.
Moreover, Xiao Shu is really not confused.
Once she made up her mind, she planned to take a shower and rest.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Knock knock."
Someone knocked on her door lightly, followed by Zhou Baoying's soft and waxy voice: "Sister Ning, are you asleep? I've finished the pastries in my room, do you have any more here?"
Jiang Xuening was startled for a moment.
Whether it was the previous life or this life, she didn't have a deep connection with Zhou Baoying. I only vaguely remember that this girl married Yanping King later, she didn't think about anything, she studied eating and drinking all day long, but she was unrestrained from ordinary people.
Still looking for something to eat in the middle of the night?
She went up to open the door and said, "There are some more, can I get you some?"
Zhou Baoying had just returned from playing chess with Fang Miao, and stood outside the door a little shyly, as if it was embarrassing to find someone to eat like this. When she saw Jiang Xuening opened the door for her, she smiled, jumped in and said, "Thank you sister Ning .”
The cakes in the palace are all given as a rule.
Zhou Baoying was delicious, and he didn't listen all day long, and it was common for him to run out of pastries in his room.
Jiang Xuening was the complete opposite.
After entering the palace, he ate very little, and was not very satisfied with the current cooks in the palace.
She put all her plates of pastries into the food box and said, "I don't like them either, why don't I give them all to you?"
Zhou Baoying bit her lip: "Ah, this is not so good..."
Having said that, she involuntarily stretched out her hand towards the food box that Jiang Xuening handed over, and held it tightly, her eyes were bent like crescent moons, bubbling with joy.
Those who are fed are good people.
So to Jiang Xuening, she poured out a basket of good words: "I knew that Sister Ning was good-looking and kind-hearted, it hurts me very much! I also saw the sachet that Sister Xiao picked up for you today Well, but I was standing on the porch at that time, sister Yao Xi and sister You Yue were at the door, they had already picked it up first, I thought they would return it to you, so I didn’t go there again. Seeing that they didn’t say to give you incense when they came back Sac, I wondered for a while, but fortunately, Sister Xiao actually took it out. Really, it would be great if I picked it up, otherwise it would not be a waste of eating my sister’s pastries at this moment..."
The two eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked a little worried.
She spoke softly and softly, but her speech speed was not very slow, like pouring beans, with a rhythm.
To say the past almost made people unable to react.
But when Jiang Xuening realized what she said, she suddenly raised her head to look at her, she was slightly taken aback, her heart was shocked!
Zhou Baoying seemed to be unaware of this, holding the food box in both hands, looking a little distressed, gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, and said to Jiang Xuening: "Let's do this! This time I took my sister's pastries, and I'll wait for the next time When the palace people bring cakes, I will give half of my share to my sister, and I will never regret it!"
Jiang Xuening: "..."
Zhou Baoying took it as if she agreed: "Then it's settled like this! Thank you sister, I will go back?"
Only then did Jiang Xuening smile lightly, and said, "Go back and rest early."
Zhou Baoying jumped out of the door again, and waved to Jiang Xuening: "Sister also rest earlier!"
After finishing speaking, he happily carried the food box to his room, and before he could hold back halfway, he lifted the lid of the box and stuffed a piece of almond puff pastry into his mouth, as if he was so greedy.
Jiang Xuening watched her back disappear into the corner of the corridor, then lowered her eyes, and slowly closed the door.
But the mood suddenly churned.
Sure enough, it was Yao Xi and You Yue...
But she had suspected this before, so she was not very surprised when she heard it from Zhou Baoying. What surprised her was that Zhou Baoying sneaked over to talk to her.
It seemed casual, but if she hadn't noticed the strangeness of this matter before, these words were enough to wake her up and make her vigilant.
this little girl...
Jiang Xuening couldn't help but smile, although she likes to eat and drink, but after all, she is a chess idiot who can kill Fang Miao without leaving any pieces on the chessboard, not as stupid as she appears on the surface. This kind of cleverness is not available to ordinary people.
The next day when she got up early to go to Fengchen Hall for class, Jiang Xuening looked nonchalant.
Xiao Shu also looked normal.
On the other hand, Yao Xi didn't seem to have slept well, she was a little sleepy and not very energetic.
Chen Shuyi also teased her: "This little girl looks haggard, what are you thinking about at night? Oh, I forgot, our girl Yao Xi is different, she is a person who has settled her marriage, so of course she thinks a little more. .”
If she had said this before, Yao Xi would have blushed.
Then there will be a lot of fights, and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Yao Xi's complexion suddenly changed, and she even became very embarrassed. She raised her head and looked directly at Chen Shuyi with a hint of anger.
Chen Shuyi realized it immediately.
The smile on her face stagnated, she stopped laughing, hesitated for a moment and said: "Why, didn't you not marry that Zhang Zhe?"
Everyone in the hall knew about her marriage with Zhang Zhe. At first they knew that she was going to withdraw from the marriage, but later they did not. After meeting Zhang Zhe unexpectedly in the Compassionate Ning Palace, they seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Zhe.
A man with a talent and a woman's appearance, although they are not matched, but if the woman has no complaints, she can also become a good couple.
According to common sense, this marriage is naturally settled.
Even if there was a letter from Zhang Zhe who voluntarily resigned, everyone didn't think it was a problem.
Including Xiao Shu, everyone's eyes turned to look at Yao Xi.
Yao Xi clenched her fingers tightly on the table.
She only felt that there were malicious explorations and scrutiny hidden in these curious eyes, and there was even a faint expectation of waiting for a good show. She had already read the letter of Zhang Zhe's resolute resignation, and her father scolded him coldly for making a joke in Fengchen Palace!
I hate it when I think about it.
What I hate even more is that Zhang Zhe dared to withdraw his kiss!
For a lady like her, where should she put her face in the future?
At this moment, the concerned eyes of everyone not only did not alleviate the embarrassment in her heart, but aggravated the resentment in her heart.
But she would never say such a thing.
Which girl is willing to say frankly that she has been divorced?
Yao Xi gritted his teeth and smiled at Chen Shuyi, without being polite, and said: "That Zhang Zhe doesn't know good from bad, and comes from a small family. Even a good-looking talent would look shabby, let alone ask someone to do it. Lone Star Fate. So after much deliberation, forget it.”
Everyone said "ah" in surprise.
Jiang Xuening had personally heard about Zhang Zhe saying that she would voluntarily withdraw his marriage. From what Yao Xi said now, it seemed that she had voluntarily withdrawn Zhang Zhe's marriage, and even opened her mouth to say that Zhang Zhe was "the lonely **** of evil." Star fate"!
How is this different from what she discussed with You Yue that day?
Her face turned slightly cold.
Yao Xi deliberately glanced at her provocatively, and pointed out: "However, the people I don't like, those who come from small families are rushing to get them. Maybe you can find a good one. Although it may not be able to compare with me, you may not be able to see mung beans like a bastard!"
The others were all confused.
Only Jiang Xuening knew that these words were scolding herself, and her chest twitched for a moment. But if she wanted to have an attack, and the other party didn't name her, if she jumped out, it would be as if she really had some ulterior relationship with Zhang Zhe, and it would be in his favor.
Just at this time, the teacher who was in class arrived, and she forcibly suppressed the anger in her chest.
It's just that the more you press it, the more anger you get.
Today she studied books and etiquette, and her complexion was not good during the whole process.
The gentlemen in that class mistook her for the first time and thought that they had taught her wrongly. After knowing that Jiang Xuening had forced the two gentlemen away, they couldn't help trembling. They were afraid that they would be the next one to suffer, so they didn't bother her.
When get out of class was over, Jiang Xuening was about to leave the hall, and Yao Xi just walked up.
She didn't want to let it go, and neither did Yao Xi.
The two squeezed together.
Jiang Xuening's temper came up, she frowned and pushed her directly, and said unceremoniously: "I'm walking ahead, what are you grabbing, are you rushing to reincarnate?"
Yao Xi was also suddenly asked about her marriage by Chen Shuyi today, remembering the hatred of Zhang Zhe's resignation, she always felt that this matter had something to do with Jiang Xuening, so she had to fight against her without knowing it, and refused to give in, but I forgot how unforgiving Jiang Xuening's temper is, just a little bit.
Pushed by her, she almost staggered and fell down!
The gentlemen in the hall hadn't left yet, and the palace people stood aside, they were stunned seeing this scene, they couldn't believe that someone had such a hot temper, and immediately exploded under the eyes of everyone!
Even Yao Xi herself didn't think of it.
She was supported for a while before she stopped, but after she realized it, she was furious: "Jiang Xuening, what do you mean!"
Jiang Xuening sneered: "I want to mess with you."
Shen Zhiyi didn't even walk that fast, she was still behind at the moment, she didn't know what grievances and grievances the two of them had before, so she was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene.
Others quietly looked at her expression.
Yao Xi wanted to compete with Jiang Xuening, but she turned her head and glanced at Shen Zhiyi who was watching the progress of the matter, but retracted the finger pointing at Jiang Xuening with extreme fear, and said bitterly: "If you don't be a thief, you don't have a guilty conscience." , Of course the villain secretly became angry from embarrassment."
Jiang Xuening snorted softly: "You don't need to point fingers at Sang Huai, I advise you to restrain yourself, and behave obediently with your tail between your legs when someone divorces you. After all, a fate is easy to gather and break up, and no one else will make a fuss about it. But if you want to lose face If you refuse to make others feel better, that person has eleven thousand ways to make you feel better. If you dare to go out and talk nonsense, I dare to let the whole capital know what you did to get divorced! "
Get divorced!
So Yao Xi turned out to be the one who was divorced?
Didn't you say with great confidence that Zhang Zhe withdrew his marriage so as not to implicate her, and as long as she refused, the marriage would be settled?
Everyone was shocked when they heard Jiang Xuening's words.
Then he looked at Yao Xi with a subtle, sympathetic look, but also a little hard to say.
Yao Xi never expected that Jiang Xuening would tell this matter in front of everyone so unceremoniously, and being watched by everyone, her face turned blue and red, and she was shaking with anger.
Tears fell down in a flutter.
After all, the girl's family cares about face, and of course it is extremely wronged to be slapped in the face.
Jiang Xuening finally let out a breath of anger, she didn't even bother to look at her any more, she flicked her sleeves and walked straight to the side hall.
Anyway, she is domineering by nature, and others can say whatever they like.
It's just that she will keep her word, and she will do what she says!
If Yao Xi dared to do the bullshit, slander and suppression of Zhang Zhe in her previous life, she would give up this life and not leave the capital to stir up trouble in this Shura field, and she would fight her to the end and make her pay the price!
The side hall was full of warmth, the earth dragon was burned in advance, and even the water for making tea was put on the stove in advance.
Xie Wei arrived early in the morning.
Beside a small food box, a plate of peach sliced cakes was placed on the corner of the tea table, but he looked at the light green tea soup in front of him, a little lost in thought.
Jiang Xuening opened the door and came in, he turned around and saw it.
It's just that compared to the past, this face is condensed and cold, as if he has a grudge against someone.
Xie Wei slightly raised his eyebrows.
He wanted to ask again: Who recruited you again?
But thinking about asking this question yesterday, he didn't say anything.
However, Jiang Xuening felt that she was very angry, so she walked over and bowed to Xie Wei first, when she got up and saw that he was looking at her expression, she knew that she was overjoyed, and because she was afraid that Xie Wei would misunderstand, she said: "I just met the **** There was a quarrel, sir, don't blame me."
Xie Wei: "..."
The use of these two words is really angry, Ning Er never said such things in the past. In other words, to qualify as a "slut", something must be serious.
He thought about how angry she was, and she didn't seem to be able to play the piano quietly, so he pointed to the opposite side of him and said, "Sit."
Jiang Xuening walked over sullenly and sat down.
Xie Wei saw her bitterness and hatred on her face, she sat down and didn't move, then lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice: "Wait for me to pour you tea?"
Jiang Xuening brewed the tea before Jiang Xuening came, and poured it into the sea of tea.
Only then did Jiang Xuening react.
In the past, when Xie Wei poured tea for her, it was the tea maker's etiquette, and she didn't pay attention to it after drinking it only twice. Because of his point, the back of her head felt cold, she quickly picked up the sea of tea, and watched Xie Wei put down the teacup. So he refilled it obediently for him first, and then turned around and poured one for himself.
She didn't dare to speak either, she took a sip of the tea cup with both hands.
Today is Monkey King.
Obviously it is also an imperial tribute in the palace, the entrance is smooth, and the teeth and cheeks are sweet. After drinking, you can still smell a bit of sweet fragrance...
Hmm, sweet?
Does Houkui smell like this?
Jiang Xuening was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she saw the plate of peach cake next to her.
Same as yesterday.
She was a little disgusted with that taste, and didn't want to try it a second time.
After taking a look, she turned her gaze back and continued drinking tea.
Xie Wei said: "When doing things in the palace, restraint is the most important thing, but you are making enemies everywhere, and why are you arguing with others?"
Jiang Xuening muttered: "I also know that my temperament is not suitable for staying in the palace, but you guys didn't give me a chance to choose."
Speaking of which, the sweet fragrance came again.
She couldn't hold back, and turned to look at the plate of peach slice cake: It's so unpalatable, but the aroma is so tempting, what's the matter? The cooks in the palace are just showy and mean-spirited! Be a man with backbone, don't reach out! Otherwise, if you can't finish eating in a while, you have to bite the bullet and stuff it in front of Xie Wei, it's just too miserable!
Xie Wei raised his eyebrows: "Are you blaming me?"
Jiang Xuening was absent-minded, and didn't even remember what she said just now, subconsciously said "ah", and immediately said: "Don't dare."
Xie Wei's eyes shifted to the peach cake.
He had already noticed that Jiang Xuening looked at it more than once, and said, "You can take what you want, no one is holding you back."
"No no no, I'm not hungry."
Jiang Xuening immediately shook her head, expressing her refusal.
Xie Wei: "..."
