Chapter 3 First Look
After seeing off Aunt Su, it was already noon. Ju Bai went to the small kitchen to check the meals in person. The other three people stayed close to watch over Shen Qiaochen. Ever since Shen Qiaochen fell into the water, the maids were like frightened birds. Everything around their girl Never leave things to others again.
"You're here to watch over me and you don't have to do anything anymore?" Shen Qiaochen said helplessly.
The three of them looked at each other, walked forward and knelt down together. Qingdai whispered: "It's all the fault of the slaves. The girl was left alone there and put in danger. The slaves must bear the blame for her death. Please, girl." Punishment.”
"This matter has nothing to do with you, get up." Looking at the regretful faces of the three of them, Shen Qiao sighed.
"Since the person behind the scenes has such evil intentions, there will be a next time if it doesn't work this time. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide a gun from a hidden arrow, but hard to prevent it. Now that I know the identity of this person, I naturally have a way to deal with her."
"Someone actually pushed the girl into the water? Who is so vicious? I have to skin him!" Yunling has the most violent temper. In her previous life, she was cowardly and was bullied in the cold palace. She was short of food and clothing. If it weren't for Yunling, Ling risked her life to fight with others, but she might not survive to the end. Now that she knew that her daughter fell into the water and was harmed by others, she immediately became furious.
"Does the girl really know who that person is?" Qingdai asked calmly.
"Of course, girl, what I said is true." Xu was surrounded by familiar people and environment, and Shen Qiaochen unconsciously showed a bit of squeamishness.
Knowing that their master was already worried, the three of them felt relieved.
"Zi Fu, go to Third Brother's courtyard and find me some men's clothes." Shen Qiaochen said suddenly.
Zi Fu was stunned, "Why does the girl want men's clothing..."
"I'm leaving the house after lunch. By the way, remember to also need two sets of servant's clothes."
The three of them were stunned. Their girl had been raised by the old lady herself since she was a child. Mrs. Shen was born in a famous family, so she taught her granddaughter according to the rules of a legitimate daughter. Although she was a little too doting, in the past, her own girl was never allowed to dress up as a man. What's more, he has to leave the house privately.
Now that I think about it, the girl has been different since she fell into the water and woke up. She seems to be more independent, but this is not a bad thing, the three of them thought at the same time.
Thinking of this, Zifu nodded, turned and left.
At this time, Jubai came back with the meal. Yunling and Qingdai immediately stepped forward to help set the meal. Qingdai approached Jubai and whispered something, seeming a little worried.
Shen Qiaochen didn't care, he still stayed in the cave, flipping through a storybook, and letting out laughter like silver bells from time to time.
Until she sat down at the table, Ju Bai didn't say anything, and still served Shen Qiao Shen the dishes carefully and thoughtfully.
Just when Shen Qiao was about to move her chopsticks, Zi Fu came back empty-handed, hesitating with a grimace, and a young figure flashed out from behind.
"Sister, what do you want to do in men's clothing? Are you planning to sneak out of the house?" Shen Qiaoran sat down at the table and said straight to the point.
"Yes, after being sick for so many days, I want to go out for a walk."
"Don't go to such trouble, I'll just take you there." Shen Qiaoran raised his eyebrows with a bright look on his face.
Shen Qiaochen immediately smiled, "Really? Then I'll trouble Third Brother~"
Thirteen-year-old Shen Qiaochen has not yet opened her eyes, and her young face still has the innocence of a child. Now it seems that it has added a hint of girlish naivety, as delicate and cute as an enamel doll.
Looking at his coaxing sister, Shen Qiaoran's eyes flashed with pity, and he casually ordered Ju Bai to add a pair of chopsticks.
"It turns out that my brother came here to eat at Xiao Qiao's place~" Shen Qiao complained with her little mouth pouted and kept picking up the chopsticks in her hands.
After lunch, Shen Qiaochen, who had freshened up, did not wear men's clothes. Instead, she wore a light crimson butterfly-colored floral tapestry trousers, paired with a moonlight pleated skirt of the same color, with several embroidered flowers on the skirt corners. The fluttering colorful butterflies looked bright and bright. The wound on his forehead had not yet healed. Orange Bai thought about it and took a curtain hat.
After instructing Jubai and Qingdai to pay attention to the movements of Lin's mother and daughter, Shen Qiaochen took Zifu and Yunling to meet Shen Qiaoran who was waiting at the door of the house.
Sitting in a comfortable carriage, sipping good tea, Shen Qiao narrowed her eyes in contentment, as if she didn't care where she was going.
After burning the incense, the carriage stopped, and Shen Qiaoran, who was following the carriage on horseback, knocked on the carriage and said, "Xiao Qiao, we are here."
Yunling and Zifu got out of the car first, and then helped Shen Qiaochen down.
Shen Qiaochen raised his head, and the three characters "Zuijiang Yue" came into his eyes. It turned out to be here. Shen Qiaochen raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence.
Wearing a curtain hat and following Shen Qiaoran, he saw a few people outside the door poking their heads, and there were only a few tables of people sitting sparsely in the lobby.
Shen Qiaoran walked up to the second floor in a familiar manner. Just after passing the door of a private room, the door suddenly opened and an unknown object flew in front of his eyes. Shen Qiaoran instinctively avoided it, but suddenly thought of his sister. Still behind him, it was too late to stop him. Everyone stared in dumbfounded eyes as the thing headed straight towards Shen Qiaochen's face.
"Xiao Qiao!"
With a sound of "Bang!", everyone came to their senses. Shen Qiao Ran immediately rushed to Shen Qiao Chen's side and looked at his sister carefully, "Xiao Qiao, how are you? Are you hurt?"
But they saw Shen Qiaochen shaking his head, not looking hurt. Following Shen Qiaochen's gaze, everyone discovered that the "hidden weapon" just now was a teacup, which had been smashed to pieces on the ground, with only a trace of water stains and splashes. On Shen Qiaochen's skirt.
Wearing a dirty skirt is already considered rude, but fortunately, wealthy families always carry a few spare pieces of clothing and jewelry with them when they go out.
Shen Qiaochen nodded to everyone in the room and said to Shen Qiaoran, "Third brother, I'll be right back when I go." After that, he turned around and went downstairs with the maid.
After Shen Qiaochen left, the room was quiet for a moment, and suddenly a voice said: "Ah Ran, I...I didn't mean it, we thought you were the only one...but you are really fast, you are worthy of being a 'lucky star' Coming to the world..."
It turned out that today was the time when the Imperial Academy was having a rest, and all the young masters had nothing to do, so they met at Zuijiangyue for a drink. While they were chatting and laughing, someone saw Shen Qiaoran entering the lobby, and they became interested in promoting narrow-mindedness. Unexpectedly, he was behind him Following him was actually Shen Qiaochen, the legendary fourth lady of the Shen family with eccentric personality.
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qiaoran picked up a filled teacup with a half-smile and threw it away.
"Pfft..."
"Hahaha... Yan Ruoqing, you deserve it..."
The room was filled with the laughter and curses of the young people. Only the young man named Yan Ruoqing had tea leaves hanging all over his head and face, and his grass-green brocade robe was stained with tea stains. He looked extremely pitiful.
"By the way, thanks to Brother Huaijin, I missed the tea cup in time, otherwise, Miss Shen would have suffered." A handsome young man wearing a royal blue brocade robe said.
"Yes, Huaijin, you... eh? Where is Xiao Huaijin?" Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all confused.
There was only a handsome young man wearing a red brocade robe with dark patterns beside the window. He gently shook his paper fan and said unhurriedly: "Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it..."
…
Shen Qiaochen strolled downstairs, and just as he reached the door of Zui Jiangyue, a figure suddenly fell from the sky. The man whistled softly in the air, and a black horse came out of the alley next to him. In the blink of an eye, the figure flew onto the horse. , and looking again, he had landed firmly on the horse.
He was an extremely outstanding young man, and no words were enough to describe his beauty. He had black hair as tall as crow feathers and was dressed in a black brocade robe with a moire pattern and a jade-embedded brocade belt around his waist. He had narrow eyes. The shape is as bright as the stars, and the long figure leans lazily on the horse, looking proud and dangerous.
His eyes were lowered, his feather-like eyelashes formed shadows under his eyes, and the mole under his left eye was as bright as blood.
The person in front of her was familiar yet unfamiliar to Shen Qiaochen. She had seen him kill people in his previous life when he grew up, and she had also seen him kill people while talking and laughing.
Shen Qiaochen closed his eyes, he was Xiao Jue, Xiao Huaijin.
