Wang Xiu returned to the room and found that her daughter was still in Lu Yunhong's arms, with her round eyes open.
Those little eyes moved silently, as if they were waiting for Lu Yunhong to fall asleep.
She is such a smart little girl. She knows that she cannot escape if the environment changes. She seems to be waiting for an opportunity.
Wang Xiu chuckled, took her daughter from Lu Yunhong's arms, and joked: "Are you still coaxing her to sleep? I think it's her who coaxes you!"
Lu Yunhong didn't refute, just smiled and said: "She was a little sleepy at first, but when I took her from Grandma Fang's hand, she was like this. She kept her eyes open, and she would close them when I looked at her.
My eyes pretended to be asleep, but when I looked again, they were open again."
"You're such a naughty girl, I don't know what His Highness has taught her, but it's harder to take care of her than before."
Wang Xiu was dissatisfied and snorted: "You are the one who is difficult to take care of. Don't talk about my daughter."
Lu Yunhong quickly raised his hands in surrender and asked about Pei Shan.
Wang Xiu said: "I sent him back and met people from the Jiang family who came to deliver things. Looking at what Mr. Xia meant, he seemed to be very satisfied with Jiang Qing."
"But I asked Pei Shan, and he said he hadn't thought it through clearly. Looking at his pitiful look, how could I dare to force him, so I quickly said I would wait until he thought it through."
Lu Yunhong couldn't help but laugh and said: "You, you, can be cruel to everyone, including me. How can you be merciful to Pei Shan, let alone attack him, even say a few words to him?"
Wang Xiu said angrily: "If you don't show mercy, just go and talk to me."
As if she didn't know, wasn't he defending Pei Shan when they were in the hallway just now?
Lu Yunhong heard her thoughts and secretly felt funny, so he walked over and pressed her shoulders, teasing her daughter at the same time, and said happily: "I don't dare. If I really tell you to leave, you will blame me again."
"So I'd better pretend to be deaf and dumb."
After saying that, he also said to his daughter: "Xinran, how about daddy imitating you? Don't care about anything, just eat and sleep, and sleep and eat?"
Lu Xinran turned her head and leaned directly into Wang Xiu's arms, as if to say, you just eat and sleep, and you eat after you sleep!
Seeing that her daughter seemed to understand, Wang Xiu laughed immediately, and her original depressed mood disappeared. She didn't know how happy she was.
…
Wang Xiu didn't wait for Pei Shan to rest, she went to Jiang Mansion the next day.
Wang Xiu had only been back to Beijing for a few days, and Mrs. Jiang was extremely happy to be able to find time to come to Jiang's house. What's more, Wang Xiu said he was here to pick up Jiang Hua, and now that Lu Yunhong has returned to Beijing, naturally he can no longer let Jiang Hua go.
study.
Mrs. Jiang asked someone to call Jiang Hua and apologized to Wang Xiu. She said that she was supposed to take Jiang Hua away for a visit, but thinking that the couple had just returned to Beijing and needed to rest, she did not come to disturb him rashly.
Wang Xiu also took advantage of the situation and said: "His master still wants to be lazy for a few days, but he can't stand the filial piety of Jiang Hua. He has people walking around our house all day long, delivering cakes and fruits. His master said, then
Just take it over."
"It just so happens that during the Chinese New Year, doesn't the prince want to choose a reading companion? His master means that there can be no further delay."
Although Mrs. Jiang felt a little surprised about the gift, after all, she was not clear about it. But when she heard that Dong Gong wanted to choose a reading companion, she was immediately overjoyed.
If Wang Xiu hadn't said this news himself, she wouldn't have believed it.
And Wang Xiu said in front of her that he was definitely 70-80% certain to choose Jiang Hua.
Mrs. Jiang was so excited that she held Wang Xiu's hand and said gratefully, "I should have gone there earlier."
After finishing his words, he said sincerely: "If that day comes, I will let Jiang Hua kowtow to you properly and remember your great kindness for the rest of his life."
Wang Xiudao: "Since he is one of his own family, how can we not wish him well? I only hope that he will study hard and not let down this hard-won opportunity."
Mrs. Jiang nodded repeatedly and said that Jiang Hua was very good now and could review his homework by himself without having anyone watch him.
He also quickly asked his personal nanny to pack a few books that Jiang Hua often read, as well as some homework copybooks, etc., and took them with him and gave them to his master for review.
While waiting for Jiang Hua, Jiang Qing came first.
I haven't seen Wang Xiu for a long time, and she seemed a little embarrassed and reserved.
Mrs. Jiang did not check, but took her hand and said, "You are here just in time. Sit with Mrs. Lu for a while while I go pack some personal belongings for your brother."
After saying that, he bowed to Wang Xiu and expressed that he would excuse himself for a while.
Wang Xiu guessed that she had something to tell Jiang Hua and nodded with a smile.
As soon as Mrs. Jiang left, Jiang Qing looked at the mother-in-law and maid beside her, and slowly sat down.
Wang Xiu seemed to know that she had something to say, so he said: "Second Miss, for example, take me for a walk. Sitting all the time is quite boring."
Jiang Qing didn't want it, so she quickly stood up and said, "That's great."
The maids and wives around were completely confused by the sudden words. Jiang Qing realized it later and explained in confusion: "Yes...I'm sorry, I just..."
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "I know, you also want to see Jiang Hua, right?"
"Let's go and take a look."
Jiang Qing nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked ahead to lead the way.
There was a maid and a woman following behind him, so Wang Xiu said: "Don't follow me. Ask someone to prepare the carriage. Your Fourth Master is going to stay for at least a month or two, or at most half a year. You need to prepare many things.
But you can't run back and forth and let outsiders see the joke."
The servants of the Jiang family all knew that Mrs. Jiang valued face the most, so they immediately felt frightened and went to spread the message separately, not daring to follow her any longer.
Jiang Qing took Wang Xiu on a small path. On the winding path, there were many shades of trees and everything was quiet. She seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat, but she tried to make it calmer.
She said to Wang Xiu: "Mrs. Lu, to tell you the truth, I want to ask how Pei Shan is doing? I heard that he was seriously ill when he was in Xuzhou. I wonder if he has recovered?"
Wang Xiu sat on the stone pier and motioned for her to sit down too.
This place is in the middle, with long passages on both sides. If anyone comes, they will be able to see clearly.
Jiang Qing knew her good intentions and leaned on the side quietly, her panic gradually calming down.
Wang Xiudao: "You even knew that he was sick in Xuzhou, which shows that you care about him very much."
"But if I say he doesn't have you in his heart, will you be sad?"
Jiang Qing was visibly disappointed, but then she laughed again and said with relief: "But he doesn't have anyone else in his heart, right?"
Wang Xiu smiled helplessly, and didn't know whether to exaggerate Jiang Qing's intelligence or not. He nodded and said, "Yes."
Jiang Qing continued: "I knew a long time ago that he doesn't seem to care about the relationship between men and women, and lives a simple and pure life."
"If I'm not afraid of Madam's laughter, I think Pei Shan now is just like Mr. Ji who was playing behind Mr. Lu back then. He is still in love."
"But now, isn't Lord Ji deeply in love with my cousin?"
"I think I can wait."
She is such a persistent and good girl, Wang Xiu doesn’t even know how to persuade her?
"Is it worth waiting for a fruitless result?"
Wang Xiu asked, trying to persuade her to let go.
Jiang Qing said, "Madam, when you come today, you probably know that I used my younger brother's name to send something to Mr. Xia, right?"
