Chapter 87 Ripples before the wind and rain [2](2/2)
Although she usually has a gentle and quiet temperament, once she is fully devoted to something, she will ignore others and act as if she is there.
This is one of the reasons why Baochai often says that she is 'Dai Xiangling'.
At this time, Mrs. Yang stood up and said with a smile: "This girl is looking for you, maybe there is something urgent - you said yours, I just happened to go outside for convenience."
Si Qi hurriedly got up and sent her to the door, and ordered a little maid to accompany Yang to the toilet to avoid bumping into each other inside.
When a maid in the courtyard responded and ran forward to support Yang, Siqi returned to the house.
"Tell me, what's the reason for you running here like the wind?"
She glared at Xiang Ling angrily, then went back to the couch, then reached out and patted the opposite side of the Kang table, motioning for Xiang Ling to sit down and talk.
Xiang Ling, however, stood still and stared at her wrist with a curious and inquiring look on her face.
Siqi glared at her again and asked, "What kind of monster are you doing?"
"That bracelet..."
Xiangling laughed and said, "Could it be that Brother Laishun had someone bring it to you?"
"What nonsense!"
While Si Qi tried his best to deny it, he couldn't help but touch the bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand.
This scene was like a self-inflicted mistake. Xiangling covered the cherry and smiled with crescent moon eyes.
"I told you it wasn't from him!"
Siqi was so irritated by her smile that he stood up and stamped his feet: "You girl, are you here specifically to make me angry? If you mention that thief and murderer again, I will drive them out - tell me, what do you want from me?
thing!"
Xiangling thought of business and stopped smiling. But when she opened her mouth to say something, she remembered Siqi's threat again, so she quickly closed her mouth again, puffing out her cheeks and looking embarrassed.
Seeing this girl's hamster-like appearance, Si Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud. He stepped forward and pinched her fat-like face, urging: "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it.
, don’t pretend to be pitiful with me.”
Xiangling probed cautiously: "Then should I tell you something related to him?"
Seeing that Si Qi had no objection, she entrusted Qingwen to Ying'er, and Ying'er entrusted her to herself, and she told Si Qi the matter again in a tongue-twisting manner.
Si Qi was almost confused by her. He thought about it for a while before he figured it out. He couldn't help but sneer and said: "She knows that the shop is only run by the thief who kills her, but she has the nerve to ask people around for help!"
It was only then that Xiangling suddenly remembered the grudge between the two, so she opened her mouth in embarrassment, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Kekeke..."
Si Qi was amused by her again, so he easily squeezed a grape and stuffed it into her mouth, and said: "Don't worry, it's not difficult. I'll just find a way to do it for you."
Xiang Ling had kept a secret for the past six months and was kind enough to bring her and Lai Shun together - even though she didn't want to be associated with the ambitious thief, she still wanted to accept Xiang Ling's love.
As for the so-called grudges...
Qingwen really suffered a loss that day, and she had not lost anything, so she would not be as obsessed with it as Qingwen.
Xiangling immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her several times, but then brought the topic back to the bracelet.
Because of her endless guessing and nonsense, Siqi finally got so angry that he kicked the crazy girl out of the courtyard.
When he returned to the west wing, he saw that his aunt Yang had already sat on the couch.
Siqi then rolled up his sleeves and wanted to take off the gold bracelet and throw it to her.
"If I keep pushing, I'm afraid I'll have to inflate my fetus."
Yang stopped her movements with just one word, and said with a smile: "He said it was to thank you for the secret warning. Since it was a thank you gift, you didn't owe him anything, so what would you get if you just accepted it?
"
Si Qi lowered his head to look at the bracelet, and weighed it with his right hand. He frowned and said, "With this weight, this carving, and the beads, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it for twenty or thirty taels of silver, right?"
"Recently, the whole government has been focusing on that shop. How can he be so lavish? It is said that he is always in charge of the shop, but after all, it is 'the light grass supports the beams of the roof - it cannot be the main (pillar)'. If someone can hold it for this reason,
Weaknesses, but what to do?!"
"Look, look!"
Yang patted the table and chuckled: "I was just pretending to be clear about it, but now I'm worried about him again."
"Who worries about him?!"
Siqi stamped his feet repeatedly and said angrily: "I, I'm afraid of being implicated by this stolen goods!"
Seeing her uncaring expression, Yang couldn't help but laugh, and then she held her stomach and comforted Siqi: "Don't worry, the shop's business is so good, the government can't let him work in vain.
The old lady and the second wife alone are rewarded with two hundred taels of silver, not to mention the Xue family, and the Wang family also has their benefits, this thing will definitely pass the investigation!"
Si Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But I heard Yang say again: "It's not for nothing that I ran errands for him this time. He also promised to bribe me with a longevity lock. When the time comes, I will say that it was you who gave it to me. Remember not to reveal the matter."
, otherwise I won’t help you hide it!”
Si Qi only regarded it as a 'little thing', so he didn't pay much attention to it. He casually agreed to the matter and told Yang about Xiang Ling's request.
When Mrs. Yang heard that they were going round and round, she just felt that the camp was in chaos and simply didn't bother to think about anything else.
In the evening, after finding a secluded place to meet as agreed, they relayed the matter to Laishun as it was.
While Laishun felt the connection between blood vessels across his belly, he felt an inexplicable tightness on the other hand.
Qingwen asked Siqi to come to Xue's house and still managed to make sense. So what's the point of Ying'er, a messy person, asking Si Qi to contact her?
I really don't understand the brain circuits of these people.
But for such a trivial matter, I can finish the account to Wang Xifeng tomorrow and just mention it to Lai Da by the way. It doesn't take much effort.
His focus was mainly on Yang's belly - the first bloodline in his life, and he didn't know whether it was a son or a daughter.
But by the time this child is born, he should have successfully conquered the title, right?
…………
That night.
It was already late at night in Lixiangyuan, but suddenly a stumbling figure rushed out of the main room.
She was disheveled, holding a blanket, and tiptoed like a cat to the west wing, and knocked lightly on the door with her fingers.
Inside, Ying'er didn't sleep at all. She got up quickly and pretended to ask: "Who is it? Is there something wrong at this late hour?"
"Yes, it's me."
I heard a timid voice from outside: "Ying'er, open the door quickly and let me in."
"Xiang Ling?"
Ying'er still pretended: "Didn't Madam ask you to accompany me to talk? Why..."
As she spoke, she opened the door.
Before the door could be fully opened, Xiangling slipped in and rushed into the bedroom without saying a word.
By the time Ying'er chased her in, she had already taken the quilt and wrapped herself into a rice dumpling.
Ying'er couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this, secretly wondering what method her wife had used to verify it, and why...
at the same time.
Baochai also dressed neatly and left the east wing, found her mother's room and quietly asked about the result.
"I just said she is measured!"
Aunt Xue said with a happy face: "You should keep a close watch these days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can choose a day to ask your brother to take her in as his wife."
When Baochai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then sighed again after a while.
[In the previous chapter, Zhang Guanli wore it, and the allusion of "Bi Hen took a bath, She Yue combed her hair" was reversed.
However, Bihen didn't have many scenes. After the thirty-first episode, she simply disappeared, so we might as well give her scenes to She Yue.
Also: The metaphor of "She Yue combs her hair" comes from Chapter 20, when Baoyu combs She Yue's hair, but Qingwen breaks it.
