Chapter 36 Entrusted

Changping Bogui is a first-class uncle's mansion, but it is not big, but there are only a handful of brand-new mansions in the capital where every inch of land is expensive.After all, the Son of Heaven respects etiquette in everything under his feet. How could ordinary people dare to live in a mansion as big as Prince Ping's Mansion.

The courtyard where Qin Xiao lives is at the northernmost end of the Changping Bo Mansion, separated from the main courtyard by a large garden.The surrounding ancient trees are uneven, all of which are giant locust trees that can only be hugged by two or three people. The singing of birds is faint, and the courtyard hidden in the shade of the trees has a sense of independence from the world.

Jin Xi looked up at the Qiu Jin plaque on the gate of the courtyard and couldn't help curling his lips, He Beitang?Ugly people do strange things a lot, and only people like Qin Xiao would give such an inexplicable name to a good yard!

"Are you really sick?" Jin Xi couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Qin Xiao who lay unconscious on the bed with flushed face.

Qin Xiao, who was in a coma, didn't respond, but the girl who was lying on his bedside sobbing in a low voice raised her eyebrows and glared at Jin Xi angrily, "You are Miss Zhou who was rescued by my cousin? How could you be so ignorant?" Conscience, it's fine if you don't say a few words of gratitude, but you suspect that your cousin is pretending to be sick?"

Jin Xi also knew that what she said was indeed a curse, but no wonder she suspected that Qin Xiao was pretending to be ill.It's okay for a little girl to jump in the lotus pond, but Qin Xiao, who is rough and fleshy, actually caught the cold?

"Cousin's injury is still not healed. To save you, you were shocked by cold water. Can you not get sick? After drinking several medicines, cousin is still not awake. You still say such things. Your conscience has been eaten by a dog?"

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else! I just..." Jinxi remembered that Qin Xiao had been seriously injured not long ago, and had jumped into the cold lotus pond twice, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Just what? It's just that my cousin's life and death has nothing to do with you, right? Let me tell you, if anything happens to my cousin, I, Jin Wanru, will never let you go!" The corners of the eyes have become a little charming.It was still early, and I was already wearing a brand-new goose-yellow Hunan silk summer dress.The waist is slender, but the cuffs of the skirt are several times wider than the usual size. The body is obviously not moving, but the gestures of the hands and feet seem to be dancing.Such a bright and charming little girl, but now her eyes were cold and aggressive.

In the eyes of every cousin, there is a scumbag who wants to steal her cousin from her.Jin Xi never thought of being a female scum, let alone being bombarded by Jin Wanru who was sour all over.At this time, the explanation is a cover-up, and the cover-up is the fact.She shut up and ignored Jin Wanru's threats.Anyway, she won't lose a piece of meat, besides, Qin Xiao got sick to save her, so it's right for the patient's family to scold her!
Jin Xi's tolerance fell into the eyes of Jin Wanru, but it became a guilty conscience, and he was even more reluctant, "Is there anyone like you who comes to see a doctor? You don't say anything rude, and you don't even have a gift. The concubine born to a lowly maid just doesn't know etiquette and shame." !"

Jin Xi raised her head abruptly and stared straight at Gu Wanru. "May I ask Ms. Gu to be in the same room with Mr. Qin alone, without even a maid and maid, what kind of etiquette is it? What kind of shame? With whom do you follow the rules? Don't tell me that you are brothers and sisters, don't shy away from it. Qianli, your surname is Jin and his surname is Qin. Qin and Jin’s friendship is not like this. Is it appropriate to just serve soup and water without a name or a share? Even if you have a name and a share, I would like to ask where the three teas and six rituals are. What day is the auspicious day scheduled? Has the dowry been embroidered, who are the guests, have the girls from Yihonglou and Baihua Pavilion been notified?"

Everyone has a limit, and Jin Xi's limit is her biological mother who doesn't even know her name.The woman died giving birth to her, sacrificing her own life to give her a chance to live.It doesn't matter if you scold her a few words, and it doesn't matter if you scold her mother, the emperor, and me!
Jin Wanru was just a little girl after all, she was dumbfounded by Jin Xi's scolding, she opened her mouth for a while before realizing it, Yubai's little face swelled into a pig's liver color, and she stretched out her hand to scratch Jin Xi's face, "You bastard!" People, not only harmed my cousin but also slandered my innocence, I will fight you!"

Jin Xi didn't dodge or dodge, staggered her body slightly, grabbed Jin Wanru's hand and moved it into her arms, pulled out the double-strand golden hairpin that the second lady had forced into her head before going out, and stuffed it into Jin Wanru's hand.Holding Jin Wanru's hand and forcing her to hold the tip of the hairpin against her face, she sneered and said, "Want to work hard? Okay, I'll let you do it, blind my eyes or scratch my face, you choose!" Holding Jin Wanru's hand, Jin Xi put the long hairpin on his carotid artery again. "Make a cut here, and within half an hour, I'll be a corpse!" The sharp hairpin pressed tightly against her neck, a strand of blood oozes from her fair skin, and the blood gradually gathers into a bead along the The shining hairpin rolled, Jin Wanru screamed in fright, but Jin Xi didn't realize it, and continued to speak in a cold forest: "Do it? Don't you want my life? Why don't you do it? If you don't have the guts to do it, don't scream, bluff Can't scare anyone to death!"

"Crazy! You crazy! Let go of me! Come here! Come here..." Jin Wanru was so frightened that tears came out, Jin Xi pushed her away with a sneer, and turned the blood-stained hairpin in the other direction , Ling Kong swayed back and forth on Jin Wanru's Shui Lingling face, "If you know I'm a lunatic, stay away from me! Otherwise, I'll go crazy, and I will swipe your little face a few times to see how you get out!"

There was clearly a distance of four or five steps between the two of them, but Jin Wanru felt that the long hairpin in Jin Xi's hand had scratched her face, so she quickly took a few steps back, covered her face and ran out.

Scaring Jin Wanru away, Jin Xi looked down at the long hairpin in his hand that was stained with his own blood, somehow felt the urge to cry.He came to this world out of nowhere, and was bullied everywhere for no reason.So what if Mr. Yun Zong and the old lady were protecting her, the word "Li" and the word "Fa" were like two ropes, tying her tightly.She is a human being with her tail between her legs, but she is always thrown to the forefront.The princess can't afford to be offended, but the orphan girl who lives in the Changping uncle's mansion dares to scold her, what kind of evil did she do?

"Why are you crying when you take advantage of it?"

Shocked by the sudden hoarse voice, Jin Xi subconsciously clenched her blood-stained hairpin tightly.After a few glances inside and out, there was no one in Hebei Hall of Nuo Da, only the rustling of leaves in the wind.The cold wind whizzed through Jin Xi's back, and he took a few steps back, bumping his back against the pillar at the head of the bed, and then boldly shouted: "Who? Come out, don't play tricks!"

"How dare you scare people with this little guts?"

A hoarse voice sounded from behind, Jinxi screamed, and ran forward a few steps before realizing it, and turned around to see Qin Xiao woke up at some point, half lying and half leaning on the pillow looking at him with a smile on his face. she.Jin Xi's lips trembled in anger, "Are you sick? You pretend to be a ghost, do you know that people can scare people to death?"

Qin Xiao spread his hands, showing an expression of being wronged, "If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts calling your door. You have ghosts in your heart, what does it have to do with me?"

I have to admit that Qin Xiao's words were just about Jinxi's sore feet. She has experienced time travel in her own life, and she firmly believes in ghosts and gods.It was precisely because of this that even if she was bullied by Jinxiu, Qingyun and others, she would only punish her with minor punishments and dare not kill her.Otherwise, based on her experience of being a human being in two lifetimes, Jinxiu would still be able to dance in front of her eyes again and again?
"When did you wake up? Are you really sick or just pretending to be sick!"

"What do you think?" Qin Xiao pointed to the copper basin full of medicine dregs in front of the window, instead of answering Jin Xi directly, he squinted his eyes and asked, "What sinful things have you done?"

"Do you think that everyone is like you, doing bad things everywhere? Are you okay, I'm going now! You also take good care of your illness, I wish you a speedy recovery!" Jin Xi got up and left with a few perfunctory words.For some reason, when she saw Qin Xiao's foolish appearance, a flame shot up in her heart. If she continued, she was afraid that she would scratch others.

"Finally said something serious!" Qin Xiao sighed, his tone and expression were almost carved out of Jin Wanru's, and he didn't know who imitated the other.

"You don't speak serious words!" Jin Xi couldn't help retorting, and after finishing speaking, she felt that she couldn't be more serious with this kind of person.

"Hey! I'm thirsty!" Qin Xiao called to stop Jinxi, pointed at the Sydney pears and the small white marble stone mill on the small table, and ordered her unceremoniously, "Grind me a glass of fresh pear juice."

Jin Xi rolled his eyes at him, ignored his complaints, and just poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.Qin Xiao didn't even lift his eyelids, Jin Xi stuffed water into his hand, turned around and left.Love to drink or not, not thirsty.He thought the whole world was his own mother, so he could do whatever he wanted?
Qin Xiao's handsome face suddenly collapsed, he sniffed his nose twice, and his hoarse voice was a little sad when he woke up from a long sleep, "The imperial doctor said to use fresh pear juice to dissolve the stasis in my body, but you also saw it There is no one inside or outside the house..."

Jin Xi couldn't stand people talking to her in such a pleading tone, not to mention the poor person begging for a bowl of pear juice, who once jumped off the lotus pond to save her desperately.Sighing, Jin Xi turned around and picked up a pear, carefully peeled and removed the seeds, and ground it in a stone mill.She is small and weak, and it took a stick of incense to grind half a bowl of pear juice.But when it was handed to Qin Xiao's mouth, the guy didn't appreciate it, and muttered, "It took me so long to get this little?"

Shaking his sore arm, Jin Xi really wanted to smash Qin Xiao's face with soup and a bowl, "That's all, just forget about it!"

Qin Xiao took a sip like taking medicine, then frowned and said in distaste: "It's a little sour, less sugar!"

Sour your sister!Jin Xi turned around angrily, grabbed a handful of rock sugar from the delicate enamel sugar jar and threw it into the pear juice, and looked at Qin Xiao provocatively, is it sweet enough this time?Just drink if you are not afraid of being stunned!
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao drank up the bowl of pear juice as if he had no sense of taste.He also clicked and clicked like chewing beans, and swallowed the half bowl of rock sugar.Jin Xi was dumbfounded, and couldn't help pouring a glass of water for him to rinse his mouth.

This time Qin Xiao didn't refuse. After rinsing his mouth, he looked at Jin Xi with a smile and said, "What sinful things have you done, tell me?"

"Are you finished?" Jin Xi really wanted to find a piece of dog skin plaster to put on his mouth.After such a long time, I still haven't forgotten about it. Isn't this guy's memory too good?
Qin Xiao lay down on his side, put his head on one hand and looked at Jin Xi who got up to leave again with a smile on his face, "I know one thing, how about I tell you?" Gu Zi continued, "Shangyuanye, outside the back door of Baihualou, you and I have been betrothed for life in private..."

"Are you confused?" Jin Xi suddenly turned around, wanting to slap Qin Xiao who was lying on the bed full of nonsense. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I can't spare you!"

Qin Xiao didn't take her threat seriously, "The old man who runs the wonton stall can testify to this matter. The gold ingot I gave you still has the mark of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The account can be checked. And the bead string you gave me, I still keep it with me! This..." As he spoke, he took out a pink coral string from under the pillow and swayed it proudly around his finger. "This is physical evidence. !"

Jin Xi stared at the string of corals the size of rice grains, and it became more and more familiar. Finally, she remembered that it was the headdress she wore the day she first wore it. This guy has it?

"Speak directly, what do you want me to do?" Jin Xi suppressed his anger, wanting to know what value he has, which is worth Qin Xiao's efforts to manipulate her, and even found out which bank Ai's mother went to exchange for gold.

Qin Xiao gave her a big smile, "It's nothing, I just ask you to do me a favor and send this bead to a friend of mine." After speaking, he pressed the mechanism and took out the luminous pearl a few days ago from the hidden compartment at the head of the bed and stuffed it into it. In Jinxi's hand, Jinxi couldn't laugh or cry, "Do you think I have a chance to enter Yihonglou? Which girl do you want to give it to, why don't you ask Prince Ping or Mr. Xie to pass it on to you?"

Qin Xiao ignored Jin Xi's sarcasm, and rarely showed a serious expression on his face, "Send it to a doctor surnamed Shen at Majiapu Xinglin Medical Center in the south of the city."

"You're not kidding, can you die?" Jin Xi angrily threw Ye Mingzhu onto Qin Xiao's bed, "I can't go out casually, how can I deliver something for you?"

"That's your business, remember not to let people know! If people know, I will say that you stole the beads! After the matter is done, I will return the beads to you, and you and I will settle. Or I will go to Zhou's house Propose marriage! Marry me or help me, think it over carefully!" Qin Xiao put his hands behind his head, with a vicious expression on his face.

Does she have a choice?The matter of the ninth princess has not completely subsided, if Qin Xiao starts making trouble again, she really has no way out!
"Just this time!" Jin Xi gritted her teeth and let Qin Xiao wrap Ye Mingzhu in a handkerchief and tie it on her lap. After walking back and forth for two steps, she couldn't see anything hidden under the skirt, so she went out nervously.

Walking through the empty courtyard, Jin Xi's uneasiness suddenly intensified, and an ominous premonition pervaded her whole body.Uncle Changping's adopted son is seriously ill, why is there no one inside or outside the house?
Looking back through the curtain woven of thin bamboo, Jin Xi seemed to see Qin Xiao's dark eyes staring at her. She resisted the urge to bend down to untie the night pearl from her leg, and walked forward bravely.As soon as she stepped out of the gate of Hebei Hall, Jin Wanru's sharp voice called out: "She stole my cousin's night pearl!"
