Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Four, Who is Mr. Xu?
"If eldest sister has been hiding in the nunnery, have you ever thought about what others will say?" Yu Xi said softly, with a trace of sincere concern in her eyes.
What would others say? Yu Zhuqing smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly, as if to shake off her thoughts. If she really escaped from the world inexplicably, all kinds of unpleasant remarks would be made not only to her, but also to her family, and even
Dead relatives will also be brought out for discussion.
Jiuquanxia's parents will also feel uneasy because of her.
"Sister, the so-called idea of escaping from the world can escape for a while, but it cannot escape for life. Look at the evil appearance of those nuns in the nunnery."
Yu Xi advised in a gentle voice.
Yu Zhuqing nodded, looking at Yu Xijiao who was really caring about her, she could easily say the words that were not easy to say at first: "Third sister, I know... In fact, it's just what I feel. Ning Qing is not
What a good person, he looks sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact he is a... lecherous person, who stopped me from talking to me several times before... "
"In the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion or in the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion?" When Yu Xijiao heard that it was indeed the case, a sharp look flashed in her eyes.
My mother should not have been so merciful to Ning's nephew.
"I've encountered them in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, and I've also encountered... in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." Yu Zhuqing said.
This is not the work of Ning alone. Qian and Ning are indeed plotting together, which shows that the two people have reached an agreement.
What are you plotting against eldest sister?
money?
"Young Master Ning went too far. He once stopped our girl and said something very... unpleasant. He also wanted to pull our girl away. She kicked her to the ground. Fortunately, the eldest Young Master Xu happened to be in the house. He saw this and came over to kill Ning.
The young master gave me a good beating, and then my wife scolded our girl."
The maid Caiyun said angrily.
"Who is Mr. Xu?" Yu Xijiao raised her long curly eyelashes and asked.
"The young master from the residence of General Jingyuan." Yu Zhuqing blushed slightly and explained, "Young Master Xu came that day to deliver some sacrifices to my biological father for General Jingyuan."
Yu Xijiao had heard about this eldest son. General Jingyuan was guarding the border. General Jingyuan's wife and son lived in the palace of General Jingyuan in the capital. This eldest son had also gone to the battlefield with his father and learned martial arts well.
, there is no major war on the border now, and those who should be transferred back to Jingzhong should now be serving in Jingzhong.
"General Jingyuan and the eldest sister's biological father know each other?" Yu Xijiao asked in surprise.
"My biological father... used to follow General Jingyuan, and then he risked his life to save General Jingyuan." Yu Zhuqing said.
Yu Xijiao's heart moved, it was a life-saving grace. No wonder the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion was so nostalgic: "Do you send sacrifices here every year?"
"I send it every year, and sometimes I also send some specialties from the border." Yu Zhuqing said softly, pinching and putting down the handkerchief in her hand, and then picking it up again.
"What kind of person is this eldest young master?" Yu Xijiao became more and more curious, blinking twice, and continued to ask.
"Master Xu... is a very good person. I... actually don't know, we haven't met a few times." Yu Zhuqing bit her lip gently.
"In the past, when delivering sacrifices, it was basically Mr. Xu who came here, except for two occasions...I heard that Mr. Xu was still at the border at that time."
Yu Zhuqing's voice was almost like the whisper of a mosquito. If Yu Xijiao wasn't right next to her, she really wouldn't have heard it. Her jade-faced face turned red with embarrassment. After she finished speaking, she shook her hand vigorously: "My business
It has nothing to do with Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is a very good person. When he beat Ning Qing, it was because Ning Qing went too far."
"When did it happen?" Yu Xijiao smiled like a flower.
"It's been more than a year, it's been a while..." Yu Zhuqing said vaguely, biting her lip gently, then took a deep breath, and raised her head vigorously: "Third sister, I am no matter what.
I won’t marry Ning Qing either.”
"What the eldest sister said is that a person like Ning Qing must not be able to marry."
"But... Madam, she..." Yu Zhuqing frowned tightly. Madam had already informed him of this matter, which shows that it is not so easy to resolve.
"Girl, tell Mr. Hou." Qingyue couldn't help but suggest.
"It's useless. The Marquis won't believe what the girl said. That time our girl also wanted to talk to the Marquis about this matter, but when she mentioned Mr. Ning, the Marquis praised him full of praise and said he was a good person. He also said
Among the aristocratic families in the capital, although Ning Qing's family background is not the most prominent, he is the most talented and has a good character."
Caiyun said angrily.
Ning Qing was beaten, and the girl went to file a complaint, but when she heard the Marquis praising Ning Qing, the courage she finally mustered up was gone. How could she tell the truth?
The lady scolded her and banned her from copying scriptures. The most annoying thing was that Mr. Ning actually ran to the door of the girl's courtyard. If the girl hadn't threatened him with death, Ning Qing would have rushed into the house that time.
It's still scary to think about this now.
After listening to Caiyun's explanation of the aftermath of the original incident, Yu Xijiao was silent for a moment, looked at Yu Zhuqing, and said honestly: "Sister, I'm afraid this matter is not over yet. Even if we go and tell father, father
They may also mistakenly think that we have seen it wrong and think that we are young and ignorant.”
After hearing what she said, the blush on Yu Zhuqing's face slowly receded, and she nodded. She didn't back away this time. She bit her lip and said, "I will not marry Ning Qing."
"Sister." Yu Xijiao held Yu Zhuqing's hand and found that her fingers were cold, "Don't be afraid, I won't let you marry Ning Qing."
"But..." Yu Zhuqing was very uneasy.
"Sister, there is no excuse. Since such a person is not a good person, we don't have to be polite." Yu Xijiao's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness.
Just saying this today is obviously not possible. Even if his father doesn't care about anything, he still has to let him know that Qian is not that dedicated to his eldest sister. Even if Ning Qing can pretend, she will tear off his mask.
However, I'm afraid this matter won't be so urgent. There must be something about a sachet. Yu Lanxuan's sachet is not just a matter of a sachet...
"Sister, is the sachet you embroidered for the eldest daughter of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion ready?" Yu Xijiao asked Zhu Qing with a smile as she sat down.
"The sachet has been made. I was going to show it to my third sister, but today... I was suddenly called over by my wife. Caiyun, go get the sachet I embroidered." Yu Zhuqing ordered the maid.
Previously, Yu Xijiao expressed that she had great ideas about Beijing's sachets, and she especially wanted to see the ones embroidered by Yu Zhuqing. She asked Yu Zhuqing to bring them to her after she finished the embroidery.
Caiyun came back quickly, and soon she brought a sachet. The green bamboo on it was elegant and bright, and the embroidery work was excellent.
Yu Zhuqing has a quiet temperament, and her embroidery skills are even better than those of ordinary daughters from aristocratic families. The green bamboos above make people fall in love with them at first sight.
Yu Xijiao had seen it before, but it was not as stunning as the complete one now.
"Sister, how about I change it for you?" Yu Xijiao looked through it a few times and then took a look.
"If Third Sister likes it, I will embroider it for you. This is the gift promised to Sister Clan." Yu Zhuqing said in embarrassment.
"Sister, I have an urgent need, how about you exchange this for mine?" Yu Xijiao smiled and asked Mingyue to go inside and take out the sachet she had prepared.
It is also a green bamboo sachet, and the embroidery work is also good, but the embroidery method is slightly different from that of Yu Zhuqing. At first glance, there seems to be no difference, but upon closer inspection, there are still some differences.
The ups and downs of Yu Zhuqing's embroidery needles have some of her own subtle characteristics, which are different from this sachet.
In fact, some daughters of aristocratic families with exquisite craftsmanship have slightly different characteristics. If they are not clearly stated, others will not notice them and will only notice the exquisite embroidery.
Yu Zhuqing's bamboo embroidery is the best, and she also likes to hide the knot of the green thread at the first knot of the bamboo from the bottom. This is also her little characteristic. It may be a habit of hers, which is different from others.
Ordinary embroiderers are not so independent.
Yu Xijiao is also very good at embroidery. When she pressed it with her finger, she discovered such a characteristic.
The sachets she provided were bought outside because the embroidery was good and the price was high, but the thread processing was quite satisfactory.
"This..." Yu Zhuqing was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Yu Xi's delicate watery eyes, he agreed, "Okay, this looks very good, the clan sister shouldn't care! I'll give it to you next time.
Give the clan sister a sachet."
"Thank you, eldest sister." Yu Xi smiled tenderly, stretched out her hand and handed the two sachets to Mingyue, who accepted them.
"Actually, I have embroidered sachets in the past and sent them out, but not like this. The green bamboo on this... I have never sent it out before." Yu Zhuqing's eyes fell on the sachet in front of her, with sadness on her face.
"Sister, I understand." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly.
The two sisters talked for a while, and Yu Xijiao comforted Yu Zhuqing and told Yu Zhuqing to notify her immediately if she found Ning Qing arriving at the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Yu Zhuqing left with the people, and Yu Xijiao took over the job of delivering the sachet to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion next door.
When Yu Zhuqing left, Yu Xijiao's eyes turned from Qingyue's face to Mingyue's face, and then from Mingyue's face to Qingyue's face.
"Girl, let me deliver it to you. I just came to the house." Mingyue took the initiative.
Qingyue also wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, she still kept her mouth shut. In fact, it would be best for Mingyue to see her off. Mingyue had just come to the house, and the people in Zhengyuanhou's house didn't know her.
"Ming Yue, please go and send the sachet over, just say it's what the eldest sister means." Yu Xijiao's last eyes fell on Mingyue. Compared to Qing Yue, Mingyue is indeed more suitable, "Let me tell you, in a few days
The eldest sister took me to offer incense to the county king."
Mingyue looked at her heart and said: "Girl, I understand."
He reached out and left the sachet embroidered by Yu Zhuqing. He took the sachet prepared by Yu Xijiao and went to the side door. He asked the woman guarding the side door to open the door. He opened the side door and knocked on the opposite side door. The opposite side door opened.
A maid.
The maid looked at Ming Yue up and down, then said with a cross-eyed look: "Who are you? Are you from the eldest girl in your house? Why are your eldest girls moving so slowly? It has been so long and you haven't finished the embroidery yet?"
