112: Don't think too highly of yourself
Chang Xi couldn't care less about what Aunt Luo was planning. At this moment, she was chasing Xie Jin into the hall. Even though she always claimed to be able to see through people's hearts, she really couldn't guess Xie Jin at this moment.
What is the purpose of this move?
However, facing this situation, she remained calm. She believed in her previous judgment that Xie Jin would not have a child with her.
Then, she slowed down her pace, there was no need to rush, everything was still under her control.
As for the purpose of Xie Jin's move, it can only be solved as soon as possible.
Xie Jin didn't hear the urgent footsteps behind him, so he knew that the woman behind him would not be easily led by him.
He smiled secretly and began to look at the scenery of the small courtyard. There was moonlight today, so he had a panoramic view of the small garden. There was even a faint scent of osmanthus in the air. It could be said that the small garden was well taken care of.
.
Stepping into the hall, I saw that the furnishings here were not luxurious and flamboyant, but rather elegant. It seemed that Qin had really put a lot of thought into it.
There were several stacked books on the small table on the Arhat's bed by the window. He curiously reached out and picked it up and looked at it. It turned out to be a travel diary. He didn't expect that she liked to read such leisure books.
Then he saw in the travel notes the experiences she had written while reading. He was impressed by the hairpin and small regular script. As far as he knew, Mrs. Chang only learned to read and write after entering the mansion. He did not expect that in such a short period of time, she would actually let her write.
The calligraphy is well practiced, which shows that she is very talented in reading and writing.
It is a pity that such a woman was born in a peasant family, which shows that she is jealous of talented people.
When Chang Xi walked in with her skirt up, she happened to see Xie Jin flipping through the travel notes she had casually placed on the small table. She coughed several times in displeasure, then stepped forward and snatched the travel notes, with a smile on her face.
Without a smile, he said, "Master Xie Jiu, it's not a good habit to pry into other people's privacy."
Jie Jin was caught red-handed by her, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. On the contrary, he lifted up his robe and sat on the Arhat's bed gracefully.
Chang Xi sat on the other side unceremoniously, "Tell me, what is your purpose for doing this?"
Xie Jin turned to look at her. The woman's little face seemed to be glowing under the candlelight. He secretly turned away his gaze and said coldly: "What purpose can I have? Didn't you say before that you wanted me to convince my mother? You said that I
Will mother know about this?"
Chang Xi was startled, and then thought that the Qin family would definitely know. Normally, the Qin family might not keep an eye on her, but it was different today. She left with Xie Jin, and the Qin family would always follow them.
, report their every move to the Qin family at any time.
Fortunately, she didn't speak loudly along the way, so even if someone was watching from behind, they wouldn't easily hear the conversation between her and Xie Jin.
"I will sit in your small courtyard for a while today, and my mother will relax her surveillance on you." Xie Jin said.
As soon as Chang Xi heard this, she understood in her heart that she was going to give Qin a sweet date first to make her think that things were progressing, and then the pressure on her would be reduced drastically, which would buy her time.
However, this is not in line with Xie Jin's style of behavior. Hasn't he always been the least likely to talk to him?
Doing this suddenly made her even more vigilant.
"Master Xie Jiu, excuse me, why are you helping me like this?"
Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Xie Jin looked her up and down and said, "Why am I helping you? Why do you think so?" He continued, "Don't be too naive, Mrs. Qin"
, don’t think too highly of yourself.”
Hearing this, Chang Xi originally had a good impression of him, but this guy has the ability to destroy other people's good impressions of him. He is annoying people with his strength.
"Has anyone ever said that Master Jiu, you are annoying when you open your mouth?"
Xie Jin just raised his eyebrows slightly at such words and did not respond. Anyway, he didn't need to please other people.
"I only know one thing, no one who hates me can kill me."
When Chang Xi heard this, he burst out laughing. What kind of confidence is this? This man actually has such a bad habit. Does he think highly of himself?
But thinking about her previous life, she also told others the same thing
If he said that, his dissatisfaction with Xie Jin was immediately thrown out of the sky.
When Xie Jin saw her smiling, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes did not move.
"Okay, I can't tell you anything." Chang Xi waved her hand and said, "But I can't sit here anymore. It's getting late. Mr. Xie Jiu, please go back and rest..."
"Master Jiu, I've made you a bowl of tea, would you like to try it?" Aunt Luo, who had been hiding in the dark, rushed out with a tea bowl, interrupting Chang Xi's words of expulsion.
Chang Xi looked at Aunt Luo with a cold face as she smiled and fawned over Xie Jin. She really shouldn't have brought Aunt Luo back today because the auction had come to an end and she had to let Xie Ming come back to reunite with the Bai family. Otherwise, the couple would not be together in the future.
If there is another conflict, I'm afraid Qian will point the finger at her...
Dongli and Xiaotao, who had always insisted on refusing to listen to Grandma Luo's way of doing things, hid aside and watched anxiously. This Grandma Luo really didn't look back until she hit the wall. Didn't you see that Mrs. Chang's face turned dark?
?
Chang Xi ordered displeasedly, "Mother Luo, please step back first."
However, Grandma Luo stayed with a shy smile, "Ms. Chang, the bed has been made in the inner room, look..."
"Mama Luo, do you think I'm too talkative on weekdays?" Chang Xi was no longer unhappy now, but really annoyed. She had her own rules for doing things and didn't like others to make decisions for her.
"Ms. Chang, I..."
"I don't want to listen to your sophistry. If I can't help you grow old now, then I will tell you tomorrow, madam, where you came from and where you came from. I can't tolerate your old age in this small temple."
Aunt Luo saw that Chang Xi was really angry, and now she realized that she was afraid. She hurriedly shook her body and knelt down, "Ms. Chang, I...I really didn't mean it, I did this for your own good..."
Chang Xi glanced sideways at Grandma Luo, "I don't like people making decisions for me under the guise of doing my best. Grandma Luo, you have overstepped your bounds."
She had underestimated these middle-aged and elderly servants too much in the past. They were simply unteachable, and their rigid thinking could not be broken.
Mother Luo's old face suddenly became frightened. If she loses Chang Xi's job here, she will be knocked back to her original form in an instant. I wonder if her old sister, Mother Zhong, will give her a hand again?
"Ms. Chang, I really know I was wrong. If you have a lot of money, please allow me one more time, okay?"
Chang Xi doesn't really want to drive Aunt Luo away. After all, she is used to this person, and another one may not be able to do better than her. The key is that running in again will waste a lot of time. These are all
is the cost.
"Forget it, I will give you one last chance. If there is a next time, please find another job." After a pause, she pointed coldly to the door, "Mama Luo, go back and rest."
Aunt Luo didn't dare to look at Chang Xi's face, and certainly didn't dare to look at Xie Jin, so she could only salute the two of them, and then retreated politely.
After this farce, the atmosphere that had calmed down a little had cooled down again, and Chang Xi's face remained stern.
Xie Jin stood up at the right time and said, "It's getting late, you should rest early." Then without waiting for Chang Xi's response, he stood up and walked out.
Chang Xi did not get up to see him off, but said casually, "Master Jie Jiu, go slowly."
Jie Jin, who had already reached the door, looked back at her and saw that the beauty's pretty face was covered with frost, just like the white snow on the winter plum branches. Although it was freezing, she was so pretty that she was swaying in the winter wind, eye-catching and eye-catching.
People linger and forget to leave.
As soon as their eyes met, he nodded stiffly, pursed his lips and strode away, as if something was chasing him behind him.
"Trouble."
Chang Xi snorted coldly, did she think she was some kind of scourge?
This man is really sick. If that's the case, then why does he come in and sit there? It would be better to just go back to the front yard, so as not to make people feel unhappy after seeing him.
Feeling unhappy and displeased with everything he saw, he loudly called Xiao Tao to come in and take down the tea bowl that Aunt Luo had given her before, so that it wouldn't hinder her eyes.
Xiaotao didn't dare to lightly twist Chang Xi's tiger whiskers, so she hurriedly responded, then hurried over and took down the untouched tea bowl.
Chang Xi was still puzzled and continued to sort out
The travel diary was placed on the small table, but she saw that the book she had taken back from Xie Jin was opened. The page spread out in front of her was actually the page she had turned to Jie Yuxin before.
.
This page has the key point she drew, which is the sentence she once pointed out to Jie Yuxin.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu would sometimes offer tea as a tribute. Later, Taizu felt that this was a waste of money and waste for the people, so he ordered the tea production to be discontinued and instead paid tribute with loose tea.
For a moment, she was stunned. Was this an accident or a coincidence?
Why was this page with this sentence spread out in front of me?
Did Xie Jin do this intentionally?
So he suddenly came here not to deal with Qin, but to remind himself deliberately?
At this time, she fell into deep thought.
"Ms. Chang." Dongli came in and made another bowl of tea, calling in a low voice.
"It's Dongli." Chang Xi came back to his senses and smiled, knowing that his previous anger had frightened the two maids, so he said with a gentle expression, "I'm not dissatisfied with you. On the contrary, I'm sorry that you won't do anything tonight."
I am very satisfied with my behavior of colluding with Grandma Luo."
Aunt Luo has been favored by her recently, so she seems to be using chicken feathers as arrows. She seems to be floating. Even if she doesn't find fault with her today, she may have to find fault with her tomorrow.
On the contrary, Dong Li, who was left behind in the small courtyard, seemed to be becoming more and more transparent, so she was also telling Dong Li that there was no need to follow Aunt Luo's lead.
Dong Li then smiled and said, "I have remembered Madam Chang's words."
Chang Xi patted Dong Li's arm, "Do a good job and guard the rear. Don't worry, you are equally important in my heart."
Dongli nodded, and then his lifted heart returned to his chest.
