Chapter 108: Distant Relatives
King Chu couldn't help but sigh, "How many bad thoughts do you have?" β
"Do you want to experience it?" Xue Jinyi looked sideways and smiled.
King Chu said coldly: "I don't want to." You should use it where it should be. β
"Yes," Xue Jinyi turned around, and the flying hem of her skirt swept the corners of King Chu's clothes, "Whoever makes me unhappy, I will use it on whom." β
With that, she bounced down the steps.
King Chu looked at her back, and shook his head with a faint smile.
Mother Yang returned to the Weiguo Mansion and waited for a while before seeing Mrs. Xue.
Mother Qin showed off her power in front of her, "Madame, you have a lot of things, you reply quickly and briefly, don't babble about useful and useless." β
"......" Mother Yang felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she could only hold back, respectfully came to Mrs. Xue, and said after saluting: "The matter that Madame confessed, the slave and maid have already done it." The eldest princess saw it with their own eyes, and asked the slave maid. β
"Oh?" Mrs. Xue put down the letter in her hand and asked, "Did that person say anything?" β
"It is said that the Duchess and the young ladies of Weiguo have a heart." Mother Yang lied without changing her face, she has been in this huge mansion for a long time, and she still has this ability.
Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, we have to let the eldest princess have a good impression of us, and we can't let Xue Jinyi's little cheap hoof be arrogant for too long." β
Mother Yang even claimed "yes" to coax Mrs. Xue to be happy.
Mrs. Xue motioned to the maid beside her to hand over the letter to Mother Yang, "My cousin, who married far away in Shenzhou, has been married to Shenzhou for more than two years, and she has been bullied in her in-law's house, and she wants to bring her daughter to the capital to join us." You arrange for someone to pick them up, and then arrange a place to live or something, and everything is according to the second wife. β
Mother Yang hurriedly responded: "Madame, don't worry, the slave will be done." β
It doesn't seem like a good errand, but Madame's willingness to take them in is useful.
She'll see if she can get any benefit.
On the way to the Land Gong Temple, Xue Jinyi didn't open the sandalwood fan, and said to the King of Chu with a smile: "You take me to see the place selected by the Ministry of Industry, okay?" β
"Not good."
The King of Chu refused very decisively, almost making Xue Jinyi not know how to argue.
"Give me a bad reason?"
"It's too dangerous."
Xue Jinyi smiled, "Are you so easy to deceive when I am a three-year-old child?" β
King Chu said: "How can I deceive you, the five places selected are all ownerless places full of plants, trees, strange rocks, and wild beasts, if a beast rushes out, how can you escape with this appearance?" β
Xue Jinyi looked at the dress on her body, it was quite convenient to walk in the Land Gong Temple, but it was indeed a little inconvenient to go to the mountains.
"I don't want to sit on that ridiculous name again."
Xue Jinyi smiled, "This is easy to do!" She lifted the curtain of the car, shouted "stop" to the driver, then jumped out of the car, called Qinglan, and the figures of the two quickly disappeared into the vast sea of people in the West Market.
The king of Chu leaned against the window, looking at the people coming and going.
After a while, a bouncing figure appeared in the crowd, and he immediately noticed it.
The man walked towards the carriage and waved and laughed when he met his gaze.
King Chu watched her get into the carriage and looked around from head to toe.
Just now she was a delicate girl in a green skirt, and now the green silk is bundled, tied up with a strip of cloth with a look of color, and she is wearing a colorful beard dress with a group pattern, and a belt is wrapped around her waist, and the whole person looks neat and capable.
"Well, is it okay now?" Xue Jinyi proudly raised her chin to him, she had expected that the King of Chu would definitely take the problem of clothing and prevent her from going to the place chosen by the Ministry of Industry.
It just so happened that after she wandered around the West Market a few times, she found that many women in the Great Zhou Dynasty loved Hufu or men's clothing, which was heroic and cool, and it was more convenient to ride horses and do things.
She took the opportunity to also set up this outfit to see what else the King of Chu had to say.
"What other reason do you have not to let me go?" Xue Jinyi didn't wait for his answer, he asked again, and when he turned his eyes, he found that the King of Chu was looking at him directly.
King Chu retracted his gaze and said lightly, "I'll ask someone to take you there." β
"You're not going?"
King Chu didn't hear the surprise and reluctance from these three words, but more of a snickering joy.
"I've been there once, so what are I going to do?" He looked at Xue Jinyi funny, "Do you like me to accompany you all the time?" β
Xue Jinyi laughed twice, "That's okay, don't dare to bother His Royal Highness the King of Chu." β
She took out her small sandalwood fan from her arms, picked up the book next to her, and read the book while fanning.
The king of Chu smelled the fragrance, but this time he didn't let go of the side, and said, "Reading in the carriage will hurt your eyes." β
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Xue Jinyi smiled, there are more cars and horses entering and leaving the car door in the morning, so the carriage walks very slowly, not bumpy, how boring it is to look at the scenery outside at this time, it is better to read a book.
When he got out of the city gate, he gradually arrived at a sparsely populated place, and the carriage began to jolt a little, Xue Jinyi put down the book and looked at the mountains in the distance.
After more than half an hour, they came to the Digong Temple, where order was normal and everything was fine.
Xue Jinyi got down from the carriage, and before she could take a look at the gate of the Land Gong Temple, a dark shadow passed by her, and then a woman's somewhat squeamish voice sounded behind her.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Zhao Wen'er? Xue Jinyi turned around, and sure enough, a green-shirted figure fell into view, and pounced in front of King Chu who had just gotten out of the carriage like a big moth.
King Chu leaned back slightly, dodged Zhao Wen'er's hand, and asked coldly, "Why are you here?" β
Zhao Wen'er looked concerned, "Wen'er is staying in the Chu Palace, I don't know the news of His Royal Highness, where can I rest assured?" It's not good to go to the eldest princess's mansion rashly, I heard that Her Royal Highness is coming here to visit refugees these days, so I came to see you. β
Her eyes are very similar to that of a wife who has finally seen her husband who has been away from home for many years and finally returned, and with her soft appearance, it is easy to make people feel pity.
However, King Chu is not a person who knows how to cherish flowers, so he turned his gaze coldly, "There are many people here, it's not the place you should stay, go back to the capital." β
"......" Zhao Wen'er was stunned for a moment, and then swept her hateful gaze over Xue Jinyi's face.
Xue Jinyi didn't want to deal with this matter, it was none of her business, and she planned to get rid of the King of Chu and sneak into the Digong Temple, but as soon as her eyes fell in front of the temple gate, the foot she was about to lift stopped.
No matter what time and space it is, people have a heart that loves gossip!
At the entrance of the temple stood many men, women and children, all looking excited and curious.
The fiancΓ©e allowed her fiancΓ© to hook up with other women, presumably in this crowded land temple, she could chat with relish for several days?
