Chapter 94 How can he compare to me?
Hearing this, Sang Ru staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing how frightened she was, Yu Qinghuan sighed, "I was just saying a few words to tease you. It's no big deal. Look how scared you are."
Sang Ruxu wiped a cold sweat off her forehead. She almost knelt down to the Madam just now. Not to mention it was a joke, even if the Madam really dared to divide it, she would not dare to accept it!
These four people are either rich or noble, and it is impossible for ordinary people to deal with them. She only hopes that the lady will be here, and there must not be a fifth person.
Thinking of this, she whispered to Yu Qinghuan, "Madam, what did the Crown Prince say to you just now?"
Yu Qinghuan only then remembered that Xiao Jinghe had asked her to go to Jingyuan tomorrow, but she didn't know what he wanted to do.
"Sang Ru, you'll go out with me tomorrow, so be smart."
Sang Ru had a bad feeling and needed to be more careful. It was definitely not a good thing. She was immediately uneasy and asked tentatively, "Madam, where are we going tomorrow?"
If the situation is like today, she doesn't want to go out, so she eats some croton seeds in advance and stays in the house.
Yu Qinghuan coughed lightly. Worried that Sang Ru would run away like she did last time at the night market, she didn't tell her the truth. She just said perfunctorily, "Tomorrow I'll take you to Jingyuan to enjoy the snow and drink wine. I'll also buy you some plum blossom cakes from Xifenglou."
When Sang Ru heard this, her eyes lit up, "Madam, you are so kind to this servant!"
The plum blossom cakes in Xifeng Tower are only sold during the New Year holidays, and are provided in small quantities every day. One portion costs more than ten taels, and the taste is excellent. As a maid, she is reluctant to buy them, so sometimes Yu Qinghuan sees that she is greedy and gives her one or two pieces.
How could the girls from the rich and powerful families in Beijing feed their maids such delicious food?
Thinking about how he had just been speculating about the lady and even wanted to eat croton seeds to avoid trouble, Sang Ru suddenly felt guilty. He felt that he really shouldn't have done that and was really unworthy of the lady's trust in him.
Just for this plum blossom cake, she made up her mind to follow Yu Qinghuan for the rest of her life!
Seeing her loyal and trusting look, Yu Qinghuan suppressed his conscience. The price of plum blossom cake has recently increased to 20 taels per piece, which can be regarded as compensation for Sang Ruming's fear with him.
…
The next day, Sang Ru dressed up beautifully and put on makeup for the first time. She thought that only the rich or noble families in Beijing could go to Jingyuan, and she couldn't let herself be outdone by the maids from other families, as that would bring shame to the lady.
She carried the plum cakes that the servants had queued up to buy before dawn, and followed Yu Qinghuan happily. However, when she saw the two carriages parked in front of the marquis's mansion, the smile on her face froze.
I saw the Marquis waiting at the door, with the Second Master standing next to him. Both of them were dressed neatly, and it was obvious that they were going to Jingyuan.
Yu Qinghuan said to Sang Ru, "They should go too."
Sang Ru silently weighed the plum blossom cake in his hand and thought: I am just dealing with the Marquis and the Second Master, and it is not the first time. It is worth it to get twenty taels of plum blossom cake for free on this trip.
Seeing that Yu Qinghuan was dressed simply today, Xie Zhiwen suddenly realized that since he came back, he had not seen Yu Qinghuan wear such bright red clothes as before.
The clothes she is wearing now make Yu Qinghuan look more fragile, which makes people want to take care of her.
So, Xie Zhiwen personally helped Yu Qinghuan onto the carriage, holding Yu Qinghuan's hand tightly with one hand and protecting Yu Qinghuan's lower back with his entire arm, showing great care.
Xie Zhili narrowed his eyes and looked at the arm that was across Yu Qinghuan's lower back. His back teeth were almost bitten off, because before Xie Zhiwen came back, it was he who helped Yu Qinghuan get on the carriage, and it was he and Yu Qinghuan who rode in the same carriage.
But at this moment, he could only watch Xie Zhiwen and Yu Qinghuan get into the carriage together, which was extremely annoying.
Sang Ru noticed Xie Zhili's eyes and sighed in her heart. There are so many girls in the world, why should the second master focus on her wife?
Until the curtain of the carriage was lowered and no one could be seen, Xie Zhili snorted coldly, turned around and got into his own carriage, thinking: Yu Qinghuan will be mine sooner or later, there is no need to rush.
Qing Zhui, who was standing next to him, immediately followed, feeling very happy.
When the eldest lady was around, he could only sit outside the carriage, shivering in the cold wind.
Now it’s good, I can get into the carriage and sit with his second master!
Qing Zhui was torn. He wanted his second master to get the title, but he also didn't want him to be involved with the first lady anymore. It was really difficult.
...
The branches of the trees in Jingyuan were covered with snow, and the ground was also covered in white. When the few people got off the carriage, there was still light snow falling from the sky.
Jingyuan is bustling with people coming and going. Some are reciting poems and composing couplets, some are drinking and chatting, some are playing the piano, and some are dancing in the snow.
Xie Zhiwen was the first to get off the carriage. He took the oil-paper umbrella from the servant and stood beside Yu Qinghuan to shield her from the falling snow. This scene was seen by many people in Jingyuan, and they sighed.
Xie Zhiwen was a frequent visitor to Jingyuan in the past, and he recognized him at a glance.
Yu Qinghuan's song at that time also attracted a lot of people's attention.
Many people in Jingyuan knew about the acquaintance and friendship between these two people. Some looked down on Yu Qinghuan, while others envied her.
Everyone said that she had fought hard and won the position of a marquis' wife. How could people not envy her good luck?
They are all girls from respectable families. They don't have the courage and can't afford to take the risk. After all, not everyone is the Marquis of Ningyuan. If they lose their clean reputation, they can only become concubines.
Facing these not-so-friendly gazes, Yu Qinghuan naturally knew what these people were thinking. Those from better-off families than her looked down on her behavior in Jingyuan, while those from the same family as her did not dare to do the same thing as her.
Whether you despise me or envy me, everything I have now is achieved step by step. Whether it is good or bad, it is what I deserve.
The curtain of the pavilion was lifted, and a group of people entered the pavilion. The aroma of wine instantly filled their noses.
Mu Huaian had already been waiting in the pavilion, with a pot of wine boiled, just waiting for them to come.
Sang Ruren was dumbfounded. Madam didn't even mention there was a young master! ?
She suddenly felt that the plum cake in her hand was not so sweet anymore... She immediately looked at Yu Qinghuan, but at this moment, Yu Qinghuan had no time to pay attention to her.
As soon as Xie Zhiwen smelled the wine, he knew that Mu Huaian had really taken out all the fine wines from his collection. He didn't care about Yu Qinghuan and sat down directly, impatiently urging Mu Huaian:
"Huaian, give me a drink!"
Mu Huaian smiled and poured three cups in a row, one for Xie Zhiwen and two for the two people standing in front of him.
After taking a sip, Xie Zhiwen narrowed his eyes in pleasure, "Good wine!"
This good friend of his is truly closer than a brother. Look, just to welcome him, he actually brought out such fine wine without holding back at all!
Xie Zhili, who was standing next to Yu Qinghuan, glanced at his brother, sneered, and asked Yu Qinghuan, "What on him is worth your attention?"
How can his behavior of throwing women aside after drinking be compared to mine?
Yu Qinghuan pursed her red lips and turned to meet Xie Zhili's sneering eyes. "Of course it's a title you don't have."
Xie Zhili's eyes suddenly turned cold...
