Chapter Eighty-Eight: Go to the Hou Mansion of Hucheng
Xue Jinyi took out the envelope and almost slammed it on the face of the King of Chu, "Here, three taels of gold, you are optimistic." ”
She opened the account book again and asked the king of Chu to see the signature of the second lady of Jin Anbo's mansion.
"Look, the redemption is real, the number is right, right?"
"Hmm." The king of Chu couldn't continue to ask.
"So, let's go to the Hou Mansion of Hucheng now?" Xue Jinyi asked.
"Okay."
When they arrived at the door of the Hou Mansion, no one spoke again.
"The main door and side door are closed, and there is not even a figure," Xue Jinyi lifted the curtain and glanced around, "It seems that we can go to the Anyue Marquis Mansion." ”
King Chu said: "Now you are stirring up the relationship between the Marquis of Hucheng and Mrs. Xue, maybe someone believes it." ”
"Forget it," Xue Jinyi said, "How can I have conclusive evidence?" And, you see, we're not welcome. ”
The news of who the eldest princess sent to collect the donations should have spread to every household in the capital, and the Hou Mansion of Hucheng put on this posture, obviously not wanting to see her and the King of Chu, even if it would be tongue-in-cheek, so there was no need to make both sides uncomfortable.
Now that the Marquis of Hucheng is resentful, it is better to wait for other opportunities to provoke it in the future.
The king of Chu didn't say anything more, and told the coachman to go to the Marquis of Anyue's mansion.
"After going to the Anyue Marquis Mansion, let's go back to my aunt's house directly, it's not too early."
"Hmm." Xue Jinyi nodded, today's harvest is good, the prince made a generous move, and slaughtered Mrs. Xue again, this money is enough for the early placement.
Although there were only orphans and widows left in the Anyue Marquis Mansion, they also paid ten yuan, and repeatedly told Xue Jinyi that if the money was not enough, they could grit their teeth and make up some more.
On the car back, Xue Jinyi sighed: "I'm a little curious about how much Mrs. Xue originally planned to give." ”
"Judging from her reaction at the time, it may be less than the Marquis of Anyue's Mansion." King Chu said.
Xue Jinyi nodded, and her heart was happy again.
King Chu said: "You just said that the donation is just a matter of doing your best." ”
"That's what normal people say." Xue Jinyi said disdainfully: "For people with malicious thoughts, of course, how much money can be scolded." ”
King Chu looked at her little smugness, and suddenly felt a little unable to take his eyes off.
Xue Jinyi noticed it, and threw a knife over, "I told you to buy a small mirror and look at yourself." Why, reluctant to buy a small bronze mirror? ”
She touched her body, took out three copper plates and handed them over.
"No thanks."
"Who said I was looking at you." King Chu looked at her amusedly.
"Oh?" Xue Jinyi knew that King Chu was clearly going to quibble.
The King of Chu raised his hand and only thought about her ear, "Look there." ”
Xue Jinyi snorted coldly, "What's there to see?" ”
"I advise you to take a look." King Chu said seriously.
Xue Jinyi frowned and slowly turned her head sideways.
A trembling black shadow fell into view.
When she looked at it again, it was a spider half the size of a copper plate!
The black chubby spider spider leaned on a spider silk and hung down from the roof of the car, and was very leisurely "swinging" in her ear.
Xue Jinyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great effort to keep from screaming.
She pretended to move her body to the side calmly, and then smiled at King Chu: "What's so nice about a spider?" ”
"Oh."
“……”
The spider hung in its original position, not moving for a long time, and the eight black feet waved happily.
Xue Jinyi thought about it, pulled out the hairpin on her bun, and probed above the spider, the spider silk stuck to the hairpin, and the spider shook several times with her movements.
As if stimulated, the spider spits out a piece of spider silk and descends a little.
She saw that it was almost there, and swung the hairpin a few times, and the spider's "swing" was getting bigger and bigger, and when it was almost over, she used a skill in her hand, and the hairpin skimmed off the spider silk, and the spider flew out along the inertia, just hitting the placket of the king of Chu.
The spider was so frightened that it scurried around on the placket of his coat with all eight legs.
Xue Jinyi snorted and laughed, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it seems that the spider likes you very much." Well, spiders are all black, and you like to wear black clothes too. ”
The King of Chu glanced at her, stretched out two unhurriedly, and gently pinched the spider.
"......" Xue Jinyi felt her hairs stand on end, "I don't know if the spider is poisonous or not." ”
King Chu slowly raised his hand and actually lifted the spider in front of Xue Jinyi.
After all, Xue Jinyi was born as an actor, and she still looked calm, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it's useless to show me, I can't tell whether spiders are poisonous or not." ”
"So?" The king of Chu neatly threw the spider out of the window.
"Childish." The crisis was resolved, and while Xue Jinyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she did not forget to scold.
King Chu raised his eyebrows, "I'm kind enough to remind you, right?" ”
"Thank you." Xue Jinyi responded sarcastically.
The king of Chu shook his head helplessly and sighed, as if he was very sad because he had been wronged.
Xue Jinyi sneered mercilessly.
King Chu glanced at it, how did he feel that this woman was not afraid of anything?
He was a little sad.
When the chariot returned to the eldest princess's mansion, the eldest princess handed over the money he had received to the eldest princess, and then counted the amount with the household attendant, recorded it in the account, and then allocated it to a special person who was responsible for purchasing food, bedding and medicinal herbs.
The face of the household servant was full of joy, he really didn't expect the prince and the Weiguo Mansion to be willing to contribute so much money, "Your Highness, Weichen thinks that tomorrow we can put up a notice and ask the masters of Baiyun Temple to help and gather the refugees to the Land Gong Temple." ”
The eldest princess nodded and looked at Xue Jinyi with concern, "Jinyi, what are the inconveniences during this period?" ”
"Auntie, no, everything is fine." Xue Jinyi replied with a smile, "Everyone is very positive." ”
"That's good." The eldest princess smiled deeply and asked, "What about ...... Did the king of Chu take care of you a lot? ”
Before Xue Jinyi could open her mouth, the King of Chu spoke first, "Jinyi is thoughtful and decent, and she doesn't need extra care at all." ”
"......" The King of Chu praised her so much, Xue Jinyi had no choice but to save face, "Grandmother, Ah Xuan is very good to Jinyi." ”
The eldest princess laughed and looked at them with relief and joy, "Okay, you guys go and eat, don't go hungry." ”
Xue Jinyi and King Chu withdrew from the flower hall, and Qinglan greeted them, "Your Highness, Miss Xue, dinner is in the guest room." ”
"By the way," Xue Jinyi remembered, "you can taste how the craftsmanship of King Chu is, I hope there is not a chicken feather floating on the soup." ”
King Chu pinched his eyebrows as if he had a headache, "Just now you were still saying that I took good care of you." ”
"Huh." Xue Jinyi sneered, "Can't hear polite words?" ”
The King of Chu asked solemnly: "That's a polite word?" ”
"It's useless for me to play stupid." Xue Jinyi grimaced at him, and then quickly followed Qinglan who was leading the way in front, "Where is the county lord?" ”
She went to Puyang Zhen to play, so she didn't bother to quarrel with this cheeky person who pretended to be crazy and stupid.
