The general's wife through time

Chapter 119 How do you know that your uncle is coming to Beijing today?

In Xue Tang's exclusive elegant room.

Si Fangyun sat next to Xue Tang, looking calm, but it was obvious that she was a little depressed.

After the auction ended, Xue Tang left without saying a word, without waiting for her or thanking her for her help. She went to the backyard to pay respects. When she came out again, the outside was already in chaos. She came out to help maintain order, but she failed Being squeezed into the crowd and drifting with the crowd, she watched helplessly as her little uncle went to save the old woman, but he passed by her without even noticing her. As the eldest lady of the Si family, she was always praised by the stars. Today, But being ignored again and again, she suddenly realized that her sense of existence was so low...

Xue Tang raised his hand and signaled Grandma Wang to bring the candy man to Si Fangyun, and then said to Si Fangyun: "Eating some sweets can relieve your mood. Miss Si came forward to help today, and I will thank you well later."

"Miss Si, please take it. Madam left it especially for you. It's been a long time. Don't mind."

After respectfully handing the candy man to Si Fangyun's hand, Grandma Wang looked at the golden nanmu table and thought to herself: Madam, she is not concerned about whether the candy man is in good mood. She must be worried that the candy man will melt on the table. Not easy to clean! This table was specially made by the Fourth Young Master for his wife. It was also engraved with flowers and plants called carnations as the wife said. There is one in the wife's study. The one here was moved here yesterday.

"Thank you! I just helped my aunt today with a little effort. It's not worth mentioning. You don't need to thank me specifically."

Si Fangyun's eyes flickered, and he suddenly found a sense of presence.

Xue Tang actually noticed that she was in a bad mood, which proved that Xue Tang was willing to spend time on her. She always ran to the general's mansion during this period. It seemed that her efforts were not in vain, and she finally made further progress.

Si Fangyun originally didn't touch the candy man, a popular thing in the market, but this time she took the candy man and took a bite. Surprisingly, not only is it delicious, but I also feel much better.

Xue Tang picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "I asked Mu Xian to prepare a table of wine and food for you next door. You can bring the old lady over to eat together. There are many things going on in Taotie House today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time to accompany the old lady. It’s Respect for the Aged Day, but I’m not very polite, please help me say a few nice words to her.”

In one word, he said it politely and showed the style of a master.

It is impossible to arrange a banquet for the elders without notifying them in advance. What's more, Butler Qin has already sent the gifts for today's Double Ninth Festival to the Si Mansion.

Obviously this is just a rhetoric, but there is also a deep meaning in the rhetoric: the elders don't have time to accompany you, and naturally they don't have time to chat with you, a junior, about everyday things.

They all have seen the world, and Si Fangyun's emotional intelligence is occasionally low, but his IQ is not low. She knew as soon as she heard that Xue Tang was sending guests off in a tactful way.

She secretly sighed in her heart: No wonder her uncle said that to deal with Xue Tang, you need to have the same mental state as when you were in court.

She immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you aunt for your kindness. It's just that my uncle just told me that he went to the Yamen to help handle the case. He asked me to go back and inform my grandmother. I'm afraid she has to wait for news about my uncle at home, so she won't be able to do it today." Sorry for bothering aunt. When aunt has time, she must go to the house for a walk. Grandma has been thinking about aunt."

"Thank you, old lady, for remembering me. I will visit her home after I finish my work."

Si Fangyun said goodbye to Xue Tang and was led downstairs by Mu Xian.

When passing by the private room next door, I happened to meet the young man serving food to the guests inside.

Through the crack in the door, Eunuch Li saw the candy man in Si Fangyun's hand at a glance. He was very excited and pointed to the door, his hands trembling a little, "Your Majesty, sir, look at your candy man."

Still 'Your Majesty'!

I told you to call me "Master" outside, but I just can't remember!

Emperor Jingkang was lying on the Luohan couch, impatiently turning his head and looking out the door. He just glanced at it and gave Eunuch Li a knife, "So what? You're going to snatch it back after it's been eaten?" "

Eunuch Li choked, shut his mouth tightly, and stepped aside in a sullen voice, staring at the table unfocused, watching the little boy serving a large table full of dishes.

Downstairs, Mu Xian personally put Si Fangyun into the carriage. Not only did he ask someone to pack twenty boxes of signature dishes, but he also personally handed Si Fangyun a small wooden sign and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Si, for helping at the auction today. Madam has prepared this for you a long time ago." Yes, in the future, as long as you come to Taotie House with this wooden sign, you will get free food and drinks, no matter how much you eat. If the old lady wants to taste the taste of Taotie House, we will also deliver it to your house for free."

When Mu Xian went upstairs again, everyone was already gathered in Xue Tang's private room. Only Grandma Wang and Qin Lu were outside the door. Grandma Wang was the doorkeeper and Qin Lu was waiting for Mu Xian.

Seeing Mu Xian, Qin Lu asked directly: "Did Miss Si accept the wooden sign? How did she react?"

Mu Xian: "I accept it. I like it very much. It's hard to say no to your kindness."

Qin Lu curled his lips, "That's a free qualification. I think she was so happy that she forgot her last name. But what's wrong with her? She's been like a dog-skin plaster lately. She clings to my wife every chance she gets. Don't you know that she's wasting her time? Son?"

Hearing this, Mu Xian showed a hint of displeasure, "She just admires your wife and wants to learn more. Besides, as soon as your wife prompts her, she will immediately know whether to advance or retreat. Don't say it so harshly, she won't delay you." thing!"

"Humph! I knew you would protect her. She was the one who found you in danger, but it was me and the general who saved you. Don't be too partial!" Qin Lu snorted coldly, pushed the door open and entered Yaya. between.

When I heard the door close here, the door next door closed.

Qin Chuan glared at Shangguan Xun angrily, "The dignified Yin of Jingzhao actually did something secretive. Aren't you afraid that the news will get out and the officials will hear that you have misbehaved?"

Shangguan Xun looked at Emperor Jingkang and smiled, "Isn't this because I am loyal to you? Our master has always wanted to know the relationship between the accountant here and the General's Mansion and the Si family. Now that I know, his gossipy heart It’s time to put it back.”

When saying this, Shangguan Xun especially emphasized the pronunciation of the word "Master".

next door.

As soon as they entered the room, Qin Lu and Mu Xian heard Qin Mingshu saying: "Sister-in-law, we have reviewed with Mu Xian and Qin Lu the whole story of how the Wu family, Qin Yuan, and Pei family were dealt with. I am extremely sure that you knew that your uncle would come. That’s why we will close the net today.”

Qin Mingrui asked curiously: "But, sister-in-law, how do you know that uncle will come today?"

Xue Tang asked Qin Lu to specially treat this room with sound insulation materials, so she was not afraid of a few children yelling. She put down the book in her hand and asked Qin Mingyue calmly, "If you are an uncle, you know that your side brother is ungrateful and ungrateful." Will you remain indifferent to the fact that outsiders are colluding to plot against the General’s family business and harm the people in the General’s Palace, and your wife is still involved?”

Xue Tang did not plan to tell them about the smuggling of arms and treason for the time being. She also told Qin Lu and Mu Xian to keep it a secret.

Although Qin Mingrui and the others have made progress than before, Xue Tang doesn't want to use the honor and disgrace of the family and the rise and fall of the country to test how much they have progressed, because if the news leaks out and delays important events, the consequences are not something they can bear.

Regardless of his past life or this life, Xue Tang will never hand over the initiative to others, let alone let himself be passive.

Hearing this, Qin Mingyue slammed the table angrily, "I will definitely not remain indifferent, I will chop them with my sword!"

Realizing that she had lost her composure in excitement, Qin Mingyue immediately looked at Xue Tang, sat down obediently, touched her nose, and coughed awkwardly, "Well, sister-in-law, I will control my temper in the future."

Xue Tang was noncommittal, just took a sip of tea, and then looked at the others to see their reactions.

Everyone frowned in thought.

A few breaths later, Qin Mingqi stroked the purple bamboo flute and murmured, "I won't be indifferent. Does it have any direct relationship with the time when my uncle enters Beijing today?"

Xue Tang put down the tea cup and handed the book at hand to Qin Mingqi, "I dug it out from under the bed. This book is worth reading!"
