This is also something that Xie Songhua has always been worried about.
When Xie Tu said those words to herself yesterday, the expression on her face was really too determined. She was so determined that she could feel that she meant it sincerely.
Looking at her reaction yesterday, it was clear that there was no room for negotiation at all, which made Xie Songhua worried and frightened.
I'm afraid she wasn't acting impulsively.
But at that time, she had no better way. She could only ask someone to look at Xie Tu and ask her to calm down her emotions first.
Who knew that this girl would actually say these words to the old lady today.
Not only did he say it, he said it in front of so many people.
In such a situation, what is the use of my past?
Xie Songhua couldn't help but feel a little upset. He really couldn't figure out how Xie Tu, who had always been smart, could make a mistake at this time.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind. She turned to look at Xie Tu's maid in front of her and said, "What have you girls been doing during this time?"
The maid was a little confused by her question, "I didn't do anything, just lying on the bed..."
"No!" Xie Songhua interrupted her, "I mean before yesterday."
"Before yesterday..." The maid thought for a while before saying seriously, "The girl has been preparing for the wedding seriously. She spends most of her time embroidering the wedding dress in the house, counting her belongings, and arranging the little maids in the yard."
She thought as she spoke, "Besides, I help take care of Brother An, accompany the old lady, and occasionally go out. The old lady urges me to take advantage of this time to go out to buy more. The old lady always feels that
The girl came out of the palace too hastily, and she picked up a marriage that the fourth girl didn't want. I felt sorry for the girl, so..."
"Then where do you girls usually go when you go out?"
"The girl likes women's red. If she goes out, the most common places she goes to are sewing shops and cloth shops. Occasionally she will go shopping elsewhere. One time she even took us to Rouge Lake for boating, oh by the way!"
The maid said as if she had thought of something, "The girl suddenly fell in love with the golden cakes in Ertiao Hutong, and she was afraid that others would laugh at her, a lady from a wealthy family, for liking such a street stall, so she took her slave to Ertiao Hutong several times."
Gold cake?
Xie Songhua called someone from the kitchen to ask. After learning that the golden cake was made of maltose wire drawing, he immediately frowned and said: "Fifth sister doesn't like to eat too sweet snacks at all. This golden cake is said to be a cake, but in fact
It's just candy wrapped in a layer of dough, how come fifth sister suddenly likes it?"
Hearing what she said, the maid was also stunned, "That's right! Servant... Servant was actually a little strange at the time. She thought it was the girl who suddenly changed her taste. Besides this golden cake,
, the girl’s taste for snacks has not changed much either.”
Xie Songhua asked the maid not to leak today's conversation, and took Dingxiang and Xiaoqing to Ertiao Hutong the next day.
As the little maid said, there is indeed a small shop selling golden cakes in Ertiao Hutong. It has a small storefront, but it seems to be very popular. As soon as I entered, I saw a long queue in front of the stall.
Xie Songhua specially found some very ordinary clothes to wear today, and Xiaoqing and Dingxiang also dressed more plainly than usual.
It looks like a girl from an ordinary official family traveling with her maid.
When he walked to the stall, Xie Songhua glanced at the busy couple at the stall, then smiled and said: "There are so many people queuing up here, I'm afraid this golden cake is really better than other places."
Ding Xiang pointed to a small tea shop at the back and said: "How about the girl goes upstairs over there to drink tea, and the slave waits in line here to buy two for the girl to try?"
Xie Songhua hesitated for a moment and then readily agreed. Then he took Xiaoqing to the teahouse and sat by the window facing the street. Sitting in front of the tea table, he could just see Dingxiang queuing up to buy cakes.
Although the queue was long, the store shipped goods quickly. After waiting for less than half an hour, Dingxiang came back and brought back a box of four cakes with different flavors.
Xie Songhua picked up one and took a sip, but was not interested at all.
Her taste is salty and spicy, and she has never been a fan of such sweet snacks.
So he gave the rest to Dingxiang and Xiaoqing. The three masters and servants did not pay attention to the so-called etiquette. They sat at a table and drank tea while tasting the golden cake. They only talked about some temporary things.
Trivial things that come to mind.
After sitting like this for a long time, I didn't notice anything unusual.
Seeing that the waiter was getting a little impatient, Xie Songhua said: "If you don't go back, you will be scolded. After all, I have tasted this cake. It is not a wasted trip. Let's go back!"
After waiting for the carriage, Xie Songhua asked Xiaoqing, "Is there anything unusual?"
Xiaoqing shook her head gently, "No."
Ding Xiang was even more confused, "Princess, I didn't see anything."
Xie Songhua sighed helplessly, she didn't see anything.
But from Xie Tu's point of view, only this golden cake sounded a bit weird. If the problem didn't lie there, she really couldn't understand how Xie Tu, who had always been smart and aware of current affairs, could suddenly act like this.
Just when the carriage was still some distance away from the palace, it suddenly stopped. The driver outside said apologetically: "Something happened up ahead and the road was blocked. Princess, should we take a detour or wait?"
A moment."
When Xiao Qing received Xie Songhua's gaze, she immediately jumped out of the carriage and came back after a while, her face a little ugly, "It was the people from Dongchang who had a conflict with Jin Yiwei."
Xie Songhua was expressionless, "How long does it look like?"
Xiaoqing's face looked a little ugly, "Look at that posture... the quarrel might last for half an hour."
"Take a detour!"
Xiao Yu and Han Jian were able to maintain a semblance of peace, and even said hello to each other when they met.
However, the people under the two men would start quarreling if they disagreed. In addition, the division of responsibilities between the two parties had some overlap. Therefore, whenever something happened in the capital, the two parties would rush forward and attack each other.
Legal entries.
They have been old rivals for many years, and every time they follow the same set of procedures, the final result is 50-50, with both sides winning or losing. It's just that the two groups, who are obviously famous, sometimes fight each other.
It's actually a bit unsightly.
When encountering one or two people crawling up from the bottom, their gibbering words are no different from the scolding of a shrew.
The two people who led the two forces did not seem to feel that there was anything wrong with this situation, and just treated it as if it had not happened.
If the superiors don't stop it, they support it. Therefore, not to mention the people in Prince Chen's Mansion, even some people in the capital have become accustomed to this kind of situation.
When the carriage went around the place of disputes, Xiao Qingcai said softly: "It seems that it was because a dead war horse was found in a small alley yesterday."
Xie Songhua was startled for a moment, then gently shook his head, "Let them go."
Since Jun Mozui already knows about this matter, there is no reason for Jinyiwei and Dongchang not to know about it.
It's just that both parties chose to deal with it in this way, which only shows that this clue is not important, or that neither Han Jian nor Xiao Yu felt that it was necessary to involve the three major camps.
Xie Songhua silently crossed out the news in his heart.
When I returned to the banquet stage, I saw Xiao Yu sitting in the living room, working on official documents in front of his desk.
When he heard the news of her return, he finished the things in his hands first, then put away the things on the case and handed them to the subordinates who came after him. Then he wiped his hands and came over, "Why are you out today? I thought you were here."
I went back to my parents’ house, but I ran there but no one was there.”
Hearing his words, Xie Songhua was stunned, "Your Majesty, are you going to the Xie Mansion?"
"Xie Tu's plan to enter the Su family has made a big fuss. I'm afraid you'll be too excited."
Xiao Yu's words made Xie Songhua startled again, "What."
