Chapter 1552: Tiger Girl 36
Zhao Yingxue sat in a respectful manner, as she had seen Mrs. Zhao always like this. She lowered her eyebrows and replied submissively: "The atmosphere in Beijing is like this, so people naturally flock to her."
It's so flattering to say that it seems like a lot of people are just following the trend, and they don't follow the trend if they don't know how to make tea.
Xining smiled and pretended to be miserable.
Zhao Yingxue immediately stood up and said goodbye as soon as she saw him.
"Sit for a while longer." She begged to stay "reluctantly".
"I also want to stay a little longer, but I haven't finished copying the scriptures for the old lady. I'm afraid that I'll have to remember it later, so it's better to finish it as soon as possible." Zhao Yingxue sighed slightly as if inadvertently.
"Second sister, thank you for your hard work. Come here more often when you have time." Xining asked Qiuye to see her off.
After Qiuye came back, he couldn't help but ask: "Why did the lady talk about tea?"
Xining thought for a while: "I'm a little hungry and want to eat steamed cakes. Dongmei, take the people out to make some. Just have Autumn Leaves here to serve you."
Dongmei knew she had something to say, so she left Qiuye behind and took the others out to make steamed cakes.
There was no one else in the room, so Xining said with a smile: "Guess the question just now."
Qiuye also smiled: "How can I guess the lady's thoughts?"
Xining touched the hand stove in his hand: "Then just take a guess and see how many points you get."
Qiuye thought about it for a while before speaking: "The young lady wants to remind the second young lady that she doesn't know how to make tea. But why she did this, I don't know."
Zhao Yingxue has been working hard to learn everything that a lady should master, such as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery, making tea and arranging flowers. But apart from calligraphy, painting and tea, everything else can only be said to be average.
Seeing that she was silent, Qiuye said hard, "Second Miss can't hold a tea party."
Zhao Yingxue was a concubine, and no concubine from any family could hold a banquet. Even if it is possible, those famous ladies will not be honored to participate.
As expected, Qiuye is much smarter than other maids. She was slightly satisfied and reminded: "She can't do it, others can."
Qiuye frowned: "Could it be that the lady thought she would reveal the news to..."
The ones who have the deepest grudge against the Third Miss are naturally the Lord of Jiashun County and the Grand Tutor's daughter Liu Ruxu. If these two hold a banquet, the noble lady will reward them. But they don't like the second young lady either. Could it be that the second young lady is trying to stand up for herself and will run to remind her and let her enemies hold a tea party to embarrass her third sister?
Xining took a deep breath and said calmly: "It's the Chinese New Year, so I should go out for a walk. Jiashun doesn't like me, so he will naturally look for opportunities to cause trouble for her, hoping nothing will happen."
Qiuye was stunned, bit his lip gently with his teeth, and stopped talking. The third young lady was thinking too deeply. This matter was between two young ladies. It would be better for the maid not to say more.
Xining looked at Qiu Ye and sighed slightly.
In the previous plot, although Qiuye got married with his master, because of Poria cocos, he was framed and had a secret relationship with a servant within half a year, and was beaten to death in the Rongguo Duke's palace.
In the small room in the middle of the night, everyone saw the two people's disheveled appearance. The body owner couldn't save him even if he wanted to, so he could only watch Qiuye being fined thirty boards. Qiuye couldn't survive and died on the spot.
Put it in front of Xi Ning, her heart was very bright.
The slayer did exactly what he was told, especially the one in the palace. To get started, wrap the straw in paper and round it with a board. After practicing for a while, the grass on the board was completely broken, but the paper on it was not broken.
If you know you can't keep it, if it goes down for more than a dozen boards, the bones inside will be broken, and it may even kill someone. If you get a benefit, even if you get a hundred blows and the blood is flying, it will only hurt the skin and flesh, not the muscles and bones, and you can go to the ground after ten days and a half.
Qiuye must have known something at that time, or in other words, in the eyes of Poria and Rongguo Gongfu, it was a needle that had to be pulled out to feel at ease, and that's why he lost his life. So she reminded: "Qiuye, no matter whether the master has thought about it or not seen it, as a follower, you must say it. The master and the slave are both prosperous and destructive. If the master is unlucky, the slave will suffer sooner or later." From now on, you won’t have to say a word in front of me, and I will be easily exhausted and will not have enough energy to think about you in the future. "
Qiuye was shocked and immediately knelt down: "Those who knew only a little about it before were afraid of saying something wrong. From now on, I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay, why are you kneeling? Others saw you and thought you had made some mistake. Get up!" Xining asked Qiuye to get up first. Qiuye stood up with his head lowered, not daring to look at her.
She smiled and said: "Go and call Zhao Huyuan and Qiu Huwei in and tell me that I have something to do."
"Yes!" Qiuye lowered his head and walked out quickly with small steps.
After a while, Zhao Geng and Qiu Tian walked in and saluted with clasped fists.
Xining asked Qiuye to go out and serve tea. Qiuye looked at the two old men standing in the room. There were no other maids in the room with them, but he still followed the instructions and walked out.
Seeing this, Zhao Geng knew that something must be wrong, so he clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, Miss, what can I do for you?"
Xining said straightforwardly: "Can you do what I asked you to do for me?"
"This~" The two people looked at each other.
Zhao Geng thought for a moment: "The general just asked us to protect the safety of the lady. What do I want to ask the lady first?"
The corners of Xining's lips curled up: "How is Aunt Xu's investigation going?"
Zhao Geng was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied: "The general will leave this matter to others to investigate, I don't know."
Xining turned his gaze to Qiu Tian who was standing next to him: "What about you, do you know?"
Qiu Tian hesitated for a moment, then spoke after careful consideration: "The general has sent people to Xuzhou and Yangzhou. The inquiry will take some time, and half a month has passed. Regardless of whether there is news or not, a letter will be sent in the near future. ”
Xining nodded with satisfaction and said leisurely: "If you have any news, come and tell me. You are all father's people, so you will naturally tell your father what happened today."
Qiu Tian immediately responded: "Since the general assigned the two of us to the lady, of course it is the lady, and we should comply."
Xining shook his head: "Lying."
Zhao Geng straightened his neck and said calmly: "Miss is right, we are all members of the general, so naturally we will report anything to the general."
This made people angry, but Xining nodded: "You're right, so you have to tell the general what you just said, and don't forget it."
Zhao Geng and Qiu Tian looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine this lady was selling in her gourd, and reminded them not to forget it.
Then I heard the third lady say again: "Shoot someone out and keep an eye on the second lady when she goes out. You don't have to interfere in her affairs, just tell me who she meets after she goes out."
They were sent here to protect the safety of the third lady. Why were they ordered around by the third lady? The two looked at each other again, and finally Zhao Geng agreed: "Yes!"
If the third lady didn't do what she was told, she would go to the general to file a complaint. If she couldn't bear to eat, she would have to walk around. Anyway, it was just a small matter to keep an eye on, so it would be done as soon as it was done. Anyway, this matter can be told to the general. It seems that the third lady just wants to do something and does not want to hide it from the general.
