Chapter 458 Stopping the Carriage
"Miss, Madam has such good taste. This orange dress makes your skin look particularly white." Lian Xin started praising Xiao Jiuyue as soon as she helped her change her clothes.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at herself dressed up in the bronze mirror. Today she was going to Qingfeng Temple, so she asked Lianxin to dress more simply. However, the clothes Su Su gave her were all made of the best materials, so the jewelry was simple, but still looked luxurious.
"Miss, this is just right. This is Shengjing, not Hongdu. You're already wearing something very plain." Lian Xin keenly noticed Xiao Jiuyue's dissatisfaction and quickly explained, "Unmarried girls in Shengjing dress flamboyantly even when they go to burn incense."
"Then let's go out and take some ointments prepared by Doctor Wang." Xiao Jiuyue said, and hurried out. Cui Yao had been poisoned for a long time, and she was really worried. What if Cui Yao was killed by the Cui family?
During the family dinner yesterday, Xiao Jialing hesitated to speak several times. Xiao Jiuyue then realized that Xiao Jialing wanted her to go to Qingfeng Temple to see Cui Yao. However, Xiao Jiuyue had just returned home, so Xiao Jialing was embarrassed to speak.
"Take the snacks and things my brother brought." Xiao Jiuyue turned around and saw Donggui coming out with something. Xiao Jiuyue looked at the wooden box curiously and said, "I understand giving snacks, but this box is small and I don't know what's inside."
"Miss, you can open it and take a look." Donggui said. The wooden box was not locked.
"No." Xiao Jiuyue shook his head: "This is what my elder brother gave to Cui Yao. How can I peek at it?"
"Speaking of which, big brother has very skillful hands. He made me an ornament out of shells. It's really beautiful." When Xiao Jiuyue saw the sailboat ornament made of shells, she was stunned. She didn't know how big brother made it. It was delicate and beautiful. It was absolutely pleasing to the eye when it was placed there.
"What the young master puts his heart into is naturally good." Lianxin said from the side.
This time, Luo Kui stayed at home to prepare for Hua Qing and Jin Wu's wedding. Dong Gui, Hua Qing and Jin Wu went out with her. In the words of Hua Qing and the others: What if the young lady goes out without someone who knows martial arts and gets bullied?
Xiao Jiuyue retorted: "This is Shengjing."
Dong Gui and Hua Qing said in unison: "Sheng Jing should be more careful, killing without shedding blood!"
Their words made Xiao Jiuyue stop talking. The memories in her mind told her that the secrets of the backyard and some of the methods used by the backyard were indeed hard to guard against. Fortunately, the Xiao family was small in number, otherwise, the things happening in the backyard alone would have disturbed her.
"The carriage is also luxurious?" Xiao Jiuyue walked into the carriage and found that the outside looked the same as an ordinary carriage, but the inside was different. Sitting in the carriage, it was not so shaking. The seats were covered with soft cushions. In the innermost part, there was a cabinet with tea and snacks on it, which was very comfortable.
"Miss, this was specially made for you by the master and the eldest young master!"
Lian Xin saw Xiao Jiuyue's expression and immediately explained, "I don't know how the master and the eldest young master came up with this, but the carriage is better made than before. The cushions inside were made for you by Madam, and the pillow for the backrest was made for you by Aunt Lan."
"Oh, and this thin blanket was made for you by the Third Madam," Lianxin explained, introducing them one by one. "The curtains on the carriage were made by Miss Yurong, and the sachets in the four corners were embroidered by Miss Tingwu. Look, these sachets contain your favorite spices, and they smell amazing."
"Is it just my carriage that looks like this, or have everyone's carriages been modified?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Lian Xin replied: "Everyone's carriage has been modified, but these things are made by themselves, unlike the eldest lady."
"They are thoughtful." After getting the answer, Xiao Jiuyue found that the comfort of sitting in the renovated carriage was indeed much improved. The tea next to it was also fixed, so there was no need to worry about the tea spilling.
Xiao Jiuyue was drinking tea and could vaguely see the scenery outside through the transparent gauze curtain.
When he returned to Beijing that day, there were many things to do, and Xiao Jiuyue had a good time to take a good look at the scenery of Shengjing.
"Miss, someone is following us." Dong Gui, who was driving the coach, said in a low voice.
Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyebrows: "Who?" She had just returned to Beijing, and she was already being treated as a thorn in the eyes of others?
"Miss, no one is going to harm you, right?" Lian Xin felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
"Probably not." Xiao Jiuyue shook her head.
Soon, Jin Wu came back and whispered, "Miss, it's Prince Song."
Prince Song?
Which Prince Song?
Xiao Jiuyue didn't react for a moment.
"Song Mingyuan? Miss, he dares to come?" Lian Xin's face turned red with anger. If Luo Kui were here, Luo Kui would probably want to roll up his sleeves and beat him up.
At first, Song Mingyuan pretended to be deeply affectionate, but when something happened to the Xiao family, he broke off the engagement faster than anyone else.
"Miss, how about I put a sack on him and beat him up?" Donggui's eyes were filled with excitement. He dared to snatch a woman from his master. Humph, it's a good thing that he broke off the engagement!
Hua Qing said: "I'll get him some medicine so that he can never be a man in his life!"
As soon as Hua Qing said this, Jin Wu, who was riding a horse beside him, felt a chill in his crotch.
"Coward, I didn't say anything about you." Hua Qing glanced at him sideways, taking his reaction into her heart. She smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything rash, I will definitely not attack you!"
After the voice fell, Hua Qing smiled at Jin Wu, and Jin Wu immediately said: "Don't worry, you are enough!" He had seen too many things caused by women before. Deep down, he felt that too many women would bring trouble!
Especially after arriving at the Xiao family, everyone in the Xiao family was harmonious, except for the second house. Mr. Xiao had a wife and a concubine, and they often caused trouble.
"Hmph." Hua Qing snorted lightly, but from her eyes one could tell that she was very satisfied.
In the carriage, when Xiao Jiuyue realized it was Song Mingyuan, a vague image appeared in her mind, but it was not real. She said, "Let him follow."
She was curious about what Song Mingyuan wanted to do with her.
Xiao Jiuyue leaned against the carriage and began to search through her past memories. In her impression, Song Mingyuan was a spoiled child who grew up in a pampered environment. He was a sentimental person and would book a theater to please her just because she casually said that a play was good.
Because she thought roses were beautiful, she planted a hill of roses in the farm.
Everyone in Shengjing praised Song Mingyuan for his loyalty and righteousness, but when the Xiao family got into trouble and the Song family broke off the engagement, Song Mingyuan did not show up from beginning to end. It was not until later that she heard that Song Mingyuan accidentally fell into a cesspool!
The carriage drove all the way to Qingfeng Temple. As soon as it left Shengjing, Song Mingyuan came to stop the carriage: "Yuer." His eyes were full of affection and his words were choked with emotion. People who didn't know the situation would think that they were a pair of loving lovers who met again after a long separation!
