"I'm here, Miss, but what's important?" The implication is: It's nothing important. What's the purpose of coming to my house to disturb me?
After Jinxi asked, he drank several sips of the fragrant tea served by Jiangrui. After walking around for a whole morning and admiring the swordsmanship of the two for a while, he was indeed thirsty.
"It's such a pity that this good tea..." After quenching her thirst, Jin Xi laughed and sighed. If Ama found out that she drank tea like this, she would definitely ask her servants to give her a big bowl of boiled water.
.
"This is what Fourth Elder Brother just sent a few days ago. It is said to be the special Yuqian Longjing collected from Hangzhou. The master was afraid that Gege would drink it like this, so he kept it in the front yard..." The person in charge of serving tea in the front yard
When Siyu, the eldest maid, heard what Jinxi said, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. If they were talking about the person they were least afraid of in this house, it must be Da Gege. Of course, the premise is that they made no mistakes.
"It's true, Amma. Even you all know that I'm not good at tea tasting." Jin Xi said, turning to look at Xiang Keyu who was sitting in the guest seat looking at her with fascination. She couldn't help but be stunned.
I don't know why the other party had such an expression. It was obvious that he didn't hear the question he asked her as soon as he entered the door.
So, he raised his voice slightly, leaned forward slightly, and called out doubtfully: "Miss Xiang?"
At this time, Xiang Keyu's mind was filled with beautiful fantasies: in the future, she could be like Jinxi, with maids serving her in front and behind her, and the food and clothing expenses were the best among the best...
Suddenly she heard Jin Xi calling her, and then she came to her senses, "Oh, cough...Sorry, I just heard this sister say that this tea is Hangzhou's Yuqian Longjing tea, and I couldn't help but feel homesick..." Xiang Keyu pointed out
Pointing to Siyu who stood beside her to refill her tea, she explained softly.
"Oh, I almost forgot that Miss Xiang is from Hangzhou." Upon hearing this, Jinxi also smiled and said, "I just wonder what happened to Miss Xiang when she came to visit today? Oh, is it about those snacks?
What about Fang Zi?
Well, I'm just a boudoir girl. If I don't have time to show up, Miss Xiang can go directly to the Xiteng Tea House to find the shopkeeper Qin. To be honest, I have never intervened in the affairs of this shop. Shopkeeper Qin takes care of it all.
"
Jin Xi’s words are true. Apart from the fact that Xi Teng Tea House is her property in name only, and she reads the account books twice a month and occasionally comes up with some novel ideas, she has never had any involvement in it.
Xiang Keyu is not stupid either. Naturally, he heard the meaning of seeing off guests in Jinxi's words. He explained a little shyly: "As for the snack recipe, I was reckless. I came today just to apologize to Ge Ge.
of."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Jinxi could understand, Xiang Keyu felt ashamed first. He said he was apologizing, but he didn't prepare any gifts. He came empty-handed and drank two glasses of special Yuqian Longjing. It didn't look like he was here to apologize.
. It seemed like she was a guest. But the host had no intention of treating her as a guest. This scene made her suddenly embarrassed.
When Jin Xi saw this, he couldn't help but sighed secretly. After all, it was a "fellow hometown" incident, not to mention that the other party didn't really do anything bad to himself or Xi Teng Teahouse, so this matter ended there.
, let’s just expose it.
So, she smiled and nodded, "I accept my apology to Miss Xiang. From now on, if Miss Xiang goes to Xi Teng Tea House to spend money, I will ask the waiter to give you a 20% discount." This can be said of Xiang Keyu, a fellow countryman.
"Just give me a little thought.
"Thank you so much, Princess..." Xiang Keyu felt a mixture of joy and sorrow in his heart. He was happy that he also enjoyed the VIP treatment of Xiteng Teahouse, but what he was worried about was that this was not what he hoped for, but to be able to pass the future in front of him.
The fourth prince, Fujin, met his fourth elder brother, the future Yongzheng Emperor.
Just at this time, the boy on duty at the gate hurriedly came in and announced, "Gege, Fourth Brother is here to visit, but the master has just left the house, so..."
"Brother Si!" Without waiting for Jinxi's reply, Xiang Keyu jumped up with a look of surprise on her face, which made Jinxi couldn't help but doubt the purpose of her visit this time.
Then he narrowed his eyes and calmly told the boy: "In that case, please ask Fourth Brother to wait in the main study room for a while. I will go over immediately and you can send someone to find the master."
After the boy took the order and left, Jin Xi raised a faint smile and asked Xiang Keyu: "Does Miss Xiang know Brother Si?" If this is true, Yinzhen deserves a beating for daring to lie to her.
"No, I don't know him... However, I heard that everyone in the capital is praising Brother Si, saying that he is a handsome young man, talented in literature and martial arts, and that he is kind-hearted and has established the affordable Renhe Medical Center for the people...
..." Xiang Keyu praised him, but in his heart, he was already filled with jealousy.
, when she said this, she suddenly changed the subject, looked at Jinxi coquettishly, and sighed with a smile: "Gege is so lucky! To be able to marry someone like Si Age..." If she had traveled through time.
This Princess is just fine, why would so many things happen...
Hearing what Xiang Keyu said, Jin Xi did not answer, but looked at her with a half-smile, with a hint of anger that could not be observed on her peaceful face.
Xiang Keyu didn't know what was wrong with him. At this time, he dared to look at Jinxi so boldly. A few hints of unknown longing flashed in his eyes, longing to see Yinzhen, longing to start a relationship with him.
An enviable and unparalleled love... Then, the most blessed person is her, not the Manchu character in front of her who can't compare to her in body and appearance...
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, until Jiangrui became a little anxious and couldn't help but remind Jinxi: "Gege, don't keep Brother Si waiting for too long."
Only then did Jinxi look away, smiled faintly, and said to Xiang Keyu: "That's right. How can we keep Brother Si waiting for so long? Miss Xiang, if you have nothing else to do, please forgive me for not entertaining you. Siyu
, wait for Miss Xiang to finish the tea before sending her out of the house." After saying that, he stood up from the chair, without looking at Keyu again, walked directly out of the hall and walked to the main study room on the left.
The further they go, the more angry they become. After doing this for a long time, Xiang Keyu actually came to show her off. The target seems to be Yinzhen... Aixinjueluo. Yinzhen, you are dead now...
"Here?" Yinzhen, who was sitting in the main study drinking tea, heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from outside. Knowing that Jinxi had arrived, he put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up with a smile, only to be met by her who was filled with anger.
Yi's little face couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "But what happened?"
"Hmph, you have the nerve to ask me! Tell me, have you ever seen Xiang Keyu?" Jinxi pushed away Jiangrui and Feng Yi. He took a few steps to stand in front of Yinzhen and poked Yinzhen with his index finger.
chest, raised his head and asked with gritted teeth.
"Xiang Keyu? Who is it?" Yinzhen was confused.
Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Jinxi immediately vented the sudden anger in her heart. Thinking that she was really like the wind and rain, she couldn't help but slump her shoulders, pouted and muttered softly: "Who else could it be? No.
It's the same type who caused trouble in Xiteng last time! He was looking provocative at me just now..."
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jinxi in surprise, "She came to the house to challenge you?" Are you tired of living? She didn't even look at the target of the provocation!
"Although I didn't say it directly, it's not far from that meaning..." Jinxi sighed weakly. When she thought of Xiang Keyu's eyes shining with naked affection, she became angry and tried her best to poke Yinzhen again.
Two times: "Hi. I
I’m warning you, I don’t like to work with others, even if you are a prince. If you are like the prince, eldest brother, third brother, etc., with a group of wives and concubines... don’t blame me for being rude..."
"Oh? Why are you so rude?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Dive me away? Castrate me? Or..."
"You..." Hearing this, Jin Xi rolled her eyes speechlessly, quickly covered his mouth, looked back at the study door, and growled: "Don't talk nonsense. If others listen to you, just pay back."
Yes." A warning is a warning. But after all, it is still
She is getting married before we are married. If this is spread, it will be a big deal. She was the first one to be cramped and skinned by Fei Yanggu. In other words, her cheap father said: Is she really tired of living? How dare you treat a prince's brother?
Say these treacherous words!
"Ha..." Yinzhen pulled down her little hand and shook his head with a chuckle: "I'm just telling you what's in your heart, why are you so nervous?!"
Jinxi rolled her eyes at him, "Since it's from the bottom of my heart, it's okay to know everything. Why do you say it so thoroughly? Aren't you hoping that Amma will beat me up in disguise? Or have you already hoped so much?"
Yinzhen glanced at her funny, then pulled her to sit on the mahogany chair in the study room, "I'm just joking with you, why are you serious about this? I'll leave that to Xiang Keyu, you.
Just be your bride with peace of mind, and I’ll make sure no one comes to mess with you again.”
"How are you going to deal with it? I think she loves you very much...it's really strange. Since the next monarch is Yongzheng, why would she love you if she doesn't pester him?" Jinxi murmured while eating snacks.
Fortunately, Yinzhen hasn't drank water yet, otherwise she would have choked again. It is said that his little wife knows a lot of skills, but she knows nothing about history. Oh, I can't say that, at least she still knows a lot about some distorted history.
For example, Crescent Princess should be from the time of Emperor Shunzhi, for example, Dou Erdun was a righteous man who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty...
"By the way, what do you want to see Ama for?" After eating a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Jinxi wiped the corner of her mouth and raised her eyes in confusion and asked. There should be nothing that needs to be exchanged between the two of them recently.
"I just came to see you. But I can't say it directly because it will affect your maiden name. I have to say that I came to visit Fei Yanggu." Yinzhen took a sip of tea and explained. Then he seemed to have thought of something and smiled.
Then he said: "The Shangwu Alliance, the Caravan, and the Cao Gang have sent people to send gifts to them one after another. Do you want to go and see what they are?"
"What is it?" When Jinxi heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. Although the dowry was almost ready, and she was almost tired of seeing the gifts from other governments and relatives and friends from her parents' generation, she heard that it was Sifangyi.
I couldn't help but become curious about the cosmetic gifts sent by the other three parties of the alliance.
"When are you free? I will take you to see it." Yinzhen had already guessed the result, so he asked with a fond smile.
"Then let's do it tomorrow. Is it still Futa Temple? It is said that there will be a lot of people at Futa Temple today, so it should be emptier tomorrow."
"Okay. Let's see you at Futa Temple. It's good that you are the only one who knows about this, so as not to make your mother suspicious." Yinzhen touched the top of Jinxi's hair and reminded him in a low voice. After all,
, the fact that he is the leader of the Sifang Yi Alliance cannot be made public yet. Therefore, he can only tell Jin Xi privately about these three gifts, as long as she knows.
"I know." Jin Xi nodded and looked at each other with a smile. This is their shared secret, so good. (To be continued)
