Chapter 182 Question
In fact, what she wants to pay most attention to is Concubine Lu, but Concubine Lu lives in a deep palace. Not to mention the two little kids like her and Chu Jingqi, even her uncle Chu Xuanyu may not get any news about her.
And several princes were still under adulthood, and they all lived in the palace. The eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince... She wanted to know their every move.
This is related to the future of the Xia family and her future. It is impossible not to pay attention to it.
Of course, she could only think about this idea in her heart. She didn't dare to say it out casually, otherwise, she would be in serious trouble.
Chu Jingqi stayed there for a while, and then reluctantly left under Xia Zihan's glare.
The next day, Xia Zihan asked Nuan Yu to dig out a new piece of black fox fur she got last year.
After bringing the leather, she estimated Chu Jingqi's height and cut the leather directly. Then she carried it onto the kang, told Si Cao to bring her sewing box, and sat down on the kang to sew alone.
The little maids of Nuan Yusi Cao were also smart. When they saw that the style of the cloak in her hand was that of a man, no one asked anything, and they all pretended not to notice.
Xia Zihan did a lot of sewing in the morning.
After having lunch with Zeng, she started sewing again.
She was sewing vigorously when Chu Hao came in and reported, "The Crown Prince of Song is here and waiting outside the second door."
Ever since the last time Song Huai left here in anger, Xia Zihan had issued an order not to allow Song Huai to enter the inner courtyard in the future.
Therefore, when Song Huai came to the door today, he was stopped outside the inner courtyard by the woman guarding the second gate. He waited outside the second gate for a long time before a little maid came and said, "The county master has something to say, let me take Song Huai with you." The prince went to the hall to wait, and the county lord came over after changing his clothes."
Changing clothes is just an excuse. The master is currently sewing a black fox fur cloak on the kang, and he doesn't want to get up.
The master's move made it clear that he wanted to dry out Song Huai.
Chu Hao led the way with a smile. When they arrived at the hall, she left Song Huai and returned to the inner courtyard.
She was a maid in the inner courtyard and did not have to wait on the guests from the outer courtyard. The hall had its own maids and boys from the outer courtyard to wait on Song Huai.
Song Huai waited for most of an hour.
At first, he could chat leisurely with Manager Lu. Later, when a steward came to see Manager Lu, Manager Lu went to deal with the matter, and he was drinking tea alone in the hall.
Two young men and two maids stood guard in the hall, refilling his tea at any time.
After Song Huai drank three pots of tea, Xia Zihan's face became darker and darker before he showed up.
Just when he lost patience and was thinking of breaking into the inner courtyard, Xia Zihan finally wandered over.
"Cousin Huai, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I just came to Muyu." As he said this, his face became more shy and his cheeks were bright red.
He didn't know whether it was because he had just been soaked in hot water or because he was ashamed. In short, Song Huai was stunned, stunned, and lost his soul. Even the anger he had been waiting here for an hour disappeared in an instant.
Xia Zihan sat down and said with a smile, "I wonder why cousin Huai came to see me?"
What's the matter?
What's up?
Song Huai was confused for a moment, and then finally remembered what he was here for today.
His expression immediately became serious and he asked her, "Did you bully Miss Shi yesterday?"
The first thing he opened his mouth was a question.
She wasn't even given a chance to plead her case.
Xia Zihan laughed angrily at him, with cold eyes, "In what capacity does Cousin Huai come to question me?"
What status?
"I am your fiancé, what do you think?" Song Huai puffed out his cheeks and glared at her, "Just tell me whether you have ever bullied Miss Shi."
Using the title of fiancé to pressure her again, damn...
Xia Zihan wanted to curse or even hit someone.
I really, really, really want to.
Better to punch him to death.
However, the person in front of her was not worthy of her using the bad reputation of a shrew to beat him.
His retribution will come sooner or later. She is not in a hurry, but she is not a person who takes offense. She will not let others bully her.
She sneered, sent several servants in the hall down, and then said, "Since Cousin Huai also said that you are my Chu Yu's fiancé, then shouldn't you be helping me more? Why are you standing next to Miss Shi instead?" Over there, help Miss Shi to question me?”
"Yesterday at Dou's house, when Miss Shi saw me, she asked me if I was your fiancée, and then targeted me everywhere. I tolerated everything because she was Shi Hanlin's daughter and for your sake, I I don’t know her the same way. After all, Shi Hanlin is your teacher. Even if it’s for you, I can’t offend Shi Hanlin.”
"But it's strange. No matter how much I tolerate it, Miss Shi just doesn't like me. She speaks repeatedly and seriously hurts me. In the end, she also belittles my grandfather and my grandmother in her words."
"Song Huai, what virtue and ability do you have to make me endure a little girl to harm the reputation of my grandmother and grandfather?"
"My maternal grandfather was a first-class minister in the cabinet. He was honest and honest all his life. He dedicated his life to the people and the country until his death. Why should he be looked down upon by a little girl after his death?" "My maternal grandmother has always treated people with sincerity and sincerity throughout her life. , I have never offended anyone, why should someone from her Shi family make irresponsible remarks?”
"Is it just because I am your fiancée?"
"Cousin Huai, please explain to me why Miss Shi doesn't like me and targets me everywhere. I have never offended her. No, I have never even seen her before this. Cousin Huai , please tell me, I’m curious.”
Why?
How does he know?
No, maybe he knew, but was just pretending not to know.
Every time Miss Shi saw him, her face turned red and she spoke softly. When she was young, she even gave him a handkerchief.
That was before he got engaged. He had just turned seven years old and had only been studying with Shi Hanlin for a year. Miss Shi was the same age as him, also seven years old. She had just learned embroidery from Mrs. Shi, so she secretly embroidered a handkerchief as a gift. he.
At that time, he received a gift from the girl's family for the first time. His heart was beating with excitement and he felt very satisfied.
It turned out that Song Huai was so popular that the teacher's daughter actually fell in love with him.
Haha...
At that time, he was really excited.
I dare to ask, which young boy doesn’t like more girls to fall in love with him?
But later, he got engaged. When Miss Shi found out, she was very sad and avoided him for a while. She didn't say a word to him for two years. Even if they met, she would avoid him automatically. .
However, after Mr. Chu Ge passed away, he was frightened at Baoxiang Temple and did not follow him to Yi'an City. After taking a period of leave from Shi Hanlin, he went back to class.
He found that Miss Shi also studied with Shi Hanlin and was doing well in studies. And she started talking to him again, and their interactions were the same as before.
She secretly admired him and found various excuses to get close to him. He knew it, but pretended not to understand her heart.
It was inevitable that she would dislike Chu Yu.
Let me ask, which woman would like her sweetheart’s fiancée?
Song Huai sighed deeply, knowing that he was wrong about this matter. He came to Chu Yu to lose his temper without even asking. He was too impulsive.
He hurriedly apologized to Xia Zihan, "Cousin Chu Yu, Miss Shi will target you. She is probably angry that you haven't come back for three years in Yi'an City. Please fight for me. After all, I am the teacher's favorite student, and the teacher treats me like As good as a biological son, Miss Shi is also like a biological sister to me. When she sees that I miss you all the time, and you are in Yi'an City, she can't help but feel sorry for me."
"Chu Yu, you have a lot of knowledge, so don't be like her. If she targets you again in the future, just tell me and I will tell the teacher and the teacher, and let the teacher and the teacher teach her."
An excuse was given to him, which also made Xia Zihan feel a lot less angry.
No matter what, this person would still waste his brains to find excuses to coax her, but at least she didn't regret her decision to wait until he grew up to see his retribution.
"It's just for the sake of Cousin Huai that I don't have the same experience as her. I just didn't expect that Miss Shi would complain to you and beat you up."
Xia Zihan was about to cry and choked with sadness, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Miss Dou how Miss Shi bullied me yesterday. Cousin Huai, I am really wronged."
< br>
Song Huai hurriedly walked over, held her hand, and comforted her, "I believe you, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have hurt you without asking clearly. It's all my fault, please stop crying, okay. ”
"Then will Cousin Huai hurt me for outsiders in the future?" She didn't want to have to fight and quarrel with Song Huai all day long because of a stone girl.
"No, no, it won't happen again." Song Huai quickly promised, "Then don't cry." Then he said with a smile, "I got a small incense burner inlaid with gems a few days ago. I will send it to you tomorrow. I’m here to warm your hands. If you want anything else, I’ll look for it at home and bring it to you.”
Xia Zihan immediately raised his head and said with tears in his eyes, "I've fallen in love with a set of red coral jewelry from Yu Hosta Pavilion. Please give it to me."
Humph, the idiot who comes to your door is worthless if you don't kill him.
In his previous life, he had defrauded her of tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Then this time, let her collect some interest first.
Song Huai gritted his teeth and wished he could slap himself.
He just asked casually, but Chu Yu was not polite and actually asked him for something.
Then he despised Xia Zihan's lack of reserve in his heart.
In my heart, I devalued Xia Zihan as worthless, but on my face, I smiled and nodded, promising to buy it for her.
Song Huai coaxed Xia Zihan for a while, and it wasn't until nightfall that Xia Zihan let Song Huai leave.
Of course, before he left, he asked Chu Hao to bring him the sable scarf and return it to him.
The next morning, a small incense burner inlaid with small rubies and a set of red coral jewelry from the Jade Hosta Pavilion appeared in front of Xia Zihan.
