Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 181 Where is Far and Near (3)
When she was going out, even the third master was going out, Xiang Lai only had a few words with him, and after leaving the mansion, the two went their separate ways.

The fact that she was found by Lian Ke can't be concealed and can only be revealed, but she doesn't want people to know that they have too deep a relationship, lest Lian Ke also be hostile by the people in the house.

After arriving at the rice shop, I heard from the shopkeeper that there was a letter sent from Huikang Mansion last night, because it was too late, and the gate of Lian Mansion was closed, so I didn't send it in.

Xianglai guessed that it was another matter of closing the shop over there. Not knowing whether the court was going well, she hurriedly asked for the letter to read.

After reading it, she felt relieved. The news that she was the daughter of the Lian family had already reached the Huikang mansion. The farm that was opened later near the county is already owned by Xianglai.

Xianglai reckoned that Xu Zongde would use his mansion to pay off the debt when the next batch was accepted, and the old guy would be homeless by then, and his family would be right to punish him to such an extent. It's time for my father.

She settled down and wrote a reply letter for the messenger to take back, telling Tianlai and Second Aunt that everything is fine here, and she will go back to see them when she has time.

After replying to the letter, he went shopping with Xu Che, bought some things and returned to Bianfu.

After entering the mansion, she and Xu Che went directly to Lianxiu's place.

Lian Xiu saw that the new "daughter" came to the front mansion to look for him so ostentatiously, thinking that she had something important to do, and asked, "What are you doing here, is there anything important?"

Xianglai said: "It's not an important matter. I saw that my father seemed to like the scorpion that Yu Zixi gave you yesterday, so I specially bought another one today, and I will exchange it with you."

As he spoke, he asked Xu Che to hand over the Shiyuan gift box.

Lian Xiu was confused by what she said, opened the gift box to look, but saw that the sparrow bought by Xiang Lai was better than the one Yu Zixi gave him, and asked in puzzlement: "What is Lai Er doing? You like this scorpion, or there are other reasons, let me tell you, why spend money to buy it."

Xianglai said: "What my daughter's friend gave to my father is like a gift from my daughter. There is no reason to want it back, so I can only exchange it."

Lian Xiu was still in a daze, but Xiang Lai had already led Xu Che out of the house and left.

When the two went out, they happened to meet Bian Gongliang walking over. Although he had seen Xianglai from a distance, Xianglai had never seen him, so he glanced at him casually and was about to pass.

Lian Gongliang held his breath after hearing what Lian Xiangjin said last night. He didn't want to meet Xianglai in the Qianfu today. Seeing Xianglai's appearance of not knowing anyone, he got angry, stopped and shouted: "Stop, Do you want to go over when you see your brother without even saying hello?"

"Brother?" Xianglai stopped and looked at him.

Lian's family has good blood and good looks, both men and women are good-looking. Even Gong Liang is handsome, but just like his sister, he is arrogant from the bottom of his bones.

Xianglai guessed who he was after seeing his three-pointed Lianxiu-like face and seven-pointed Zhushi face, but when he saw what he thought he looked like, he deliberately asked: "Which elder brother are you? Xianglai first arrived at Lian's house. But I really don’t know it.”

"You..." Lian Gongliang wanted to give birth, but he knew that Xianglai had never met him, and it was normal to say that he didn't know him, so he could only hold back his breath and said, "Who else can be, don't you know that I am the only one in the Lian family generation?" Is it a man, I am your elder brother Lian Gongliang, see you soon!"

Xianglai hated people putting on airs with her the most, and she was even more disgusted when she heard him say that, so she said lightly: "Hello, brother."

After speaking, he turned around and left again.

Lian Gongliang was really irritated by her now, and shouted from behind: "It's really uneducated, so condescending, no wonder the sky is angry and people are angry when they enter the mansion!"

Xianglai turned around again, looked at Lian Gongliang coldly and said, "As the saying goes, it's not the fault of raising one's father. Is my elder brother accusing my father of not teaching me?!"

It so happened that at this time Lian Xiu heard the two quarreling and asked someone to come out to watch, Lian Gongliang was stunned by Xiang Lai, and Tong Ling's father's personal entourage came out in a blink of an eye, so he had to hold his breath and shut up.

Xianglai snorted lightly, and took Xu Che back to the inner house.

After Lian Gongliang entered the study, he said to Lian Xiu angrily: "Father, you really have to take good care of that Lian Xianglai, it's too shameful, she doesn't even pay attention to my elder brother!"

Lian Xiu glanced at his son, and said, "It's normal for her not to know you before. How can she not oppose you if you challenge her for no reason?"

Lian Gongliang was even more aggrieved, and said: "Father, you dote on her too much, you didn't treat Xiangjin well!"

Lian Xiu glanced at him displeased again, and said: "Why are you always so restless, you don't even know who I treat well and who I treat badly, if you don't understand, talk to your mother more Talk, and she'll tell you what to do."

Lian Gongliang didn't know what he meant, but he also knew that his father was unhappy, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

After Xianglai returned home, she inquired about the situation again. Yang Mengwan said that it was a very quiet day, not even one of her family members came over, and no one stopped to dismantle the laundry room.

Xianglai knows that the calm on the surface is nothing, and those who want to deal with her are planning behind their backs, and they must not be negligent because of this.

She didn't go out in the mansion the next day, and together with Huiling sorted out the backlog of accounts, during which Mrs. Zhu asked someone to send two maids and a cooking woman, but they were also returned intact by Xianglai. Well, she didn't dare to trust the people sent by the Zhu family, it might as well be the ones she found outside the mansion.

The next day, she and Xu Che went out of the house again, and went to the rice store to ask the shopkeeper to help buy some reliable maids, and then asked Xu Che to invite Yu Zixi.

There may be more and more troubles in the future, and while there is still time, I will first solve this backlog in the early years, so as to avoid problems on his side when he is worrying in the future.

As for Yu Zixi's contact information, Xu Che knew much better than Xianglai, so he went directly to the Koryo pub and asked the guards to tell Yu Zixi that Xianglai had something to look for him.

Seeing that Xu Che had found out that Xu Che had found this place, Yu Zixi had a bad feeling, so she put down what she was doing and came to see Xianglai.

After these two days of calmness, Xianglai became furious when she didn't see him. Besides, she had different feelings for Yu Zixi and Luo Jinxing, and she never felt that she could vent her feelings unscrupulously in front of him.

After Yu Zixi came, the two drank tea and chatted peacefully for a while.But the more this happened, the more Yu Zixi found it strange, and couldn't help asking Xianglai, "Did Miss Xianglai just want to chat with me about something unimportant?"

Xianglai smiled lightly: "Of course not, I have something to give you."

As he spoke, he took out the three pieces of jade that Yu Zixi had given away in Lianfu that day, and then took out a stack of thick banknotes, pushed them together in front of Yu Zixi, and said, "These are your things, please take them back."
