Chapter 10 Provocation
After walking out of Bai Lantang, Shuixiang held back her words for a long time before she said, "Girl, you were too impulsive today. Fortunately, the tea was not scalding hot, otherwise you would not be able to peel off the skin of your tender flesh? Fortunately, it was sprinkled on your arms."
, what if I burn my face?"
Jiao Niang saw the sad look on her face and patted her hand to comfort her, "It's okay. It's not serious. Go back and apply the burn ointment and it will be fine in a few days."
Shuixiang frowned, and carefully supported the girl, "The girl always wrongs herself like this, and the slave feels distressed when she sees it. If the tea spilled on the old lady today, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. The old lady is hurt.
Not to mention, it’s hard for the eldest lady to explain, but the eldest lady has never really cared about the girl from the beginning to the end.”
Hearing what she said, Jiao Niang seemed to be complaining about Mrs. Ji, so she couldn't help but look at her twice.
When Shuixiang saw Jiao Niang looking at her, she lowered her head and said gloomily: "I just think the girl is too kind, but sometimes kindness is not remembered by others."
Kindhearted? There was a sneer in the corner of Jiao Niang's mouth.
When something unexpected happened, she instinctively went to help Wan Niang. Obviously Wan Niang was already standing, so she let go of her hand, but Wan Niang's arm suddenly tilted, and the teacup tilted in her direction.
She also had quick eyesight and quick hands, so she pushed her elbow under Wan Niang's armpit and headed towards the old lady.
Several people were so busy that they couldn't notice this small movement, but she remembered that Rou Niang was standing on the other side of Wan Niang at that time, and her hand was pressed tightly on her arm.
As for blocking the old lady, it was not out of good intentions. If the water was splashed on the old lady, although Ji and Wanniang would be scolded more severely, it would not hurt in the end.
But if she suffered it because of the old lady, the meaning would be different.
The girl admires herself a little for being so scheming now. She can plan everything in just one moment.
She touched her arm lightly. It hurt, but she didn't even frown.
She had experienced pain a hundred times and a thousand times worse than this, so what did this little pain mean?
After turning around the hanging flower door and just ascending the steps of the corridor, I heard the fragrance of water and looked in front of me and said: "Girl, this is the eldest young master."
Jiao Niang raised her head and looked at the man who was more than ten meters away from the gourd gate and was wearing a royal blue fox fur trimmed cloak and blue satin black-soled boots. She stopped for a moment.
His face darkened slightly, and he continued walking.
This eldest son, the eldest son of the family, she almost forgot that she had such a biological eldest brother.
My father and my aunt reunited after their separation, and my father resolutely brought my aunt back to Beijing. However, my aunt was afraid that she would be the daughter of a criminal and would not let her go public.
It wasn't until Hua Junyi was three years old that his father finally couldn't help but show his hand to Ji and wanted to take his mother back home.
After a scene, Mrs. Ji agreed, but the condition was that Hua Junyi would be raised by her and she would have nothing to do with her aunt in the future.
At that time, my father was determined, and my aunt was afraid that Ji would make things worse and move out of her family, destroying her father and the Hua family.
And Ji is such a powerful person. She was in urgent need of a son to help her gain a foothold in the Hua family, and her aunt happened to bump in at this moment.
After a lot of crying and pretending to be a good wife, she became shorter than her aunt, elder sister, and younger sister, and finally recognized the difference between her and her concubine.
The aunt also comes from a big family, and she has seen the methods used by the back house. She knows that she is not sincere, but for the sake of her father and Hua Junyi, she finally chooses to compromise.
Over the years, every time she thought of Hua Junyi, she would cry, but even if she thought about it again, she couldn't even touch him.
As for Hua Junyi, he clearly knew who his biological mother was, but he never gave his aunt a good face, and he was even more dismissive of her younger sister.
He was a legitimate child and only believed that he was born to the Ji family. Even after his aunt died, he never shed a single tear.
He is arrogant and arrogant, but Jiao Niang knows that he has low self-esteem deep down. He is just unwilling to admit that he is actually a commoner, because if he were a commoner, everything he has now will no longer exist.
When she got close, Jiao Niang stopped and bent her knees slightly. Hua Junyi didn't look sideways and walked straight across. He could only hear the sound of falling snow, quietly.
Back at Xiyan Pavilion, the little maid at the door reported that the fourth girl was here and was sitting in the room.
Jiao Niang was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, she no longer felt strange.
She is always good at being a good person, but if she doesn't show up at this time, it will make people feel guilty.
He still had the same set of clothes from the morning, and he didn't even have time to change. It seemed like he didn't even go back to his room and just came here to wait for her.
"Fifth sister, how are you? How are you injured?" Rou Niang asked with concern, and took out a round bowl the size of a soup dumpling from her sleeve, "I was burned last year too, and I used this burn ointment.
, just apply it a few times and it’s fine, you can use it.”
The body of the bowl is made of blue and white porcelain with a white background. The ointment inside is in the form of a transparent gel with a light fragrance. The young lady handed the water to the scent and said, "I'm sorry for my concern, I'll give it a try when I get back."
"You and I, sisters, should care about each other." Rou Niang whispered softly, and suddenly sighed softly, with a sad look on her eyebrows.
Jiao Niang asked her in surprise, "Why is the fourth sister sighing?"
Rou Niang hesitated to speak, and Jiao Niang asked, "What's wrong?"
Rou Niang grabbed Jiao Niang's hand and said, "There is something I don't know whether to say or not, but if I don't say it, I will feel uneasy."
"Fourth sister, just say it's okay."
"Well, I should give you a warning so that you can be careful in the future." Rou Niang pretended to be mysterious, "Does my sister really think that my sister is protecting my grandmother from disaster today?"
The girl's heart skipped a beat and she pretended to be confused, "How else?"
"The situation was so chaotic that my sister didn't notice it, but I could see clearly that the cup of tea was meant to be thrown at my sister."
With her heart in her throat, Jiao Niang pretended to be calm, "Really?" It couldn't be that she saw her push Wan Niang.
Rou Niang spoke faster, "I saw something was wrong at that time. I was afraid that she would hurt you, so I pulled her. I wanted to knock the tea cup over with my hands, but I didn't expect to go towards my grandmother, let alone my sister.
I tried to block it, but I still hurt you in the end."
Jiao Niang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her with a sneer in her heart. She thought she had offended her. It turned out that it was because she couldn't compete with Wan Niang, so she took the opportunity to pour water on her to create a conflict. Then she came to instigate her again. She was really serious.
Her little girl is a fool.
She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Could it be..." Her eyes narrowed, "But why did she do this? I didn't offend her."
Rou Niang stroked her hand and said, "Sister, I don't know, although you were unable to attend the poetry gathering a few days ago due to filial piety, the Marquis of Chang'an still asked about you. He heard that you are talented and good at poetry.
I deeply regret not being able to see you this time."
"But what does this have to do with second sister?" Jiao Niang blinked in confusion.
Rou Niang lowered her voice, approached Jiao Niang and whispered: "Second sister, she has been interested in the Marquis of Chang'an for a long time."
Jiao Niang exclaimed, covered her mouth, thought for a moment, and then said: "But the Marquis of Chang'an also praised you, sister."
"How can I compare with my sister? My sister's poems and prose are far better than mine, and her appearance is outstanding. The Marquis of Chang'an will definitely like you when he sees her." Rou Niang said sincerely, "Among our children, my father loves you the most. She is always with you.
You can't get along, and now you see the one you love caring about you, with her personality..."
