Chapter 78
Shen Yuanqi was a skilled person who was sleek and skillful at work. At this moment, the younger sister he had been thinking about was by his side, so he naturally had a lot of spiritual responses. But in a moment, the two girls became familiar with him.
After hearing his story about the past when he was a slave in the Xue family, Yu Xiang asked while marveling, "Do you have ten taels of silver?"
Shen Yuanqi reached out to get the purse and said softly, "Of course." He didn't realize that there was something wrong with the girl who had only met twice.
Yu Xiang covered his face and said, "I didn't say that when you become rich, you throw the silver back to my face. I didn't expect that one word would become a precept. You throw it, I, Yu Xiang, is not that villain who breaks his promise. Besides, the silver is mine, and there is no reason not to ask for it back. The most comfortable thing in this world is to be smashed by the silver. You can smash it. As long as you don't smash my face, I can stand it even if I have to pay more than a hundred taels."
Shen Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Such a weird but unrestrained little girl is his real sister, thousands of times more adorable than he thought. Why did God insist on messing with people and let her go to the Yu family and send the star of the demise to the Shen family? If it weren't for this, their family would have lived a very happy life now.
As he smiled, a deep bitterness ejaculated in his eyes.
Yu Xiang seemed to have some sense, but the Ninth Princess held her chin and stared at the top scholar Lang's extremely handsome smiling face, intoxicated.
Just then, a low and thick voice came, "Mr. Shen, Your Highness the Crown Prince is looking for you."
The few people turned their heads and looked back with different expressions. The Ninth Princess and Shen Yuanqi were inexplicably restrained, but Yu Xiang called out brother in surprise.
Yu Pinyan stepped forward to greet the ninth princess, then stared at her sister and asked, "Have you known Lord Shen long ago?"
"Well, Lord Shen fell under my wheel and was almost crushed to death, so I paid him ten taels of silver to suppress his shock." In order to save some face for the top scholar, Yu Xiang vaguely took over the matter of "seeking death".
Shen Yuanqi nodded laughingly.
Yu Pinyan turned her wheelchair in a direction, pushed towards the corner door not far away, and said softly, "This is the front yard area. I can't help but encounter a man who bumped into the Ninth Princess. Take the Ninth Princess back. Just now, the old general Fan has arrived, and Miss Fan must be looking for you."
Yu Xiang obediently turned his promise and pulled the reluctant ninth princess to go. Yu Pinyan watched the two of them go away, then turned back to Shen Yuanqi, with a sharp look, "What did you say to Xiang'er?"
"I didn't say anything about Xiaguan, please don't worry, please don't worry," Shen Yuanqi paused, and finally couldn't help asking, "Yu Dutong, you said you would send Xiaguan's sister home, but you don't know when will you wait?"
Yu Pinyan glanced at him deeply and walked forward, "Wait until Xiang'er and the hairpin."
Shen Yuanqi followed suit and asked, "Why do you have to go after the hairpin?" He couldn't wait for a moment.
"You can get married after being married after being in the hairpin, so you will naturally have to wait until then." Yu Pinyan smiled in an unknown sense.
Shen Yuanqi closed his eyebrows and thought deeply.
---------------------------------------
Yu Miaoqi was thrown in the side hall by the Ninth Princess because she was the legitimate daughter of the Yongle Marquis's Mansion, and the three sisters of the Crown Princess treated her very kindly. The girls gathered together to talk about dressing up, rouge and powder, family matters, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The Crown Princess's mother's family is the Min family in Cangshui. He has four imperial teachers. The Crown Princess' grandfather has taught the emperor and the crown prince step by step. Although he has retired now and the Crown Princess' father only serves as the bachelor's position as the second-rank Hanlin Academy, the Min family's status is very transcendent.
Therefore, the three girls in the Min family are all generous, noble and imposing. There is also the youngest and most beautiful one. They vaguely regard themselves as their masters, and they all cook very well from guests to servants.
Yu Miaoqi looked coldly and realized the other party's thoughts. She was planning to inherit the Crown Princess's last wish to be the second wife for the Crown Prince. It's so stupid that it's hopeless! The Crown Princess has already given birth to a pair of Lin'er. How could she not consider her children? She would definitely coax her sister to drink sterilization medicine before she died, and then let the other party willingly raise her children for herself.
The disaster is coming, and these people are still dreaming with smugness!
After lowering his head and sipping hot tea, Yu Miaoqi smiled complacently. Regardless of whether the Crown Princess had this idea or not, they could just turn things around and their sisters could make a fuss. Apart from the Min family, looking at the entire man, who is more suitable to be the crown prince's concubine? Of course, the sister of Yu Dutong, who is the crown prince who is accompanying the emperor's important minister. If the crown prince wants to ascend the throne successfully, it will never be possible to win over Yu Pinyan.
Yu Miaoqi was so immersed in her mind that she saw a big, round-haired and dark-skinned girl stepping into the side hall and looking around.
The three Min sisters hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Jiaojiao is here, sit down."
Such a stout character, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was almost thought of the man from a family if she hadn't been wearing women's clothing, so she took the name of Jiaojiao. Yu Miaoqi lowered her head and used a veil to cover the sarcastic smile on her lips. From the corner of her eyes, she saw many noble girls like her, and she couldn't help laughing and mocking her eyes.
The three sisters of Min, the older one is Min Song, the second one is Min Zhi, and the youngest one is Min Lan. Because the Crown Princess was seriously ill, she asked the three of them to greet the female relatives. Although the eldest and second sisters had no relationship with Fan Jiaojiao, they had no intention of despising them. Instead, Min Lan's smile appeared very stiff, and she dispersed the noble aura on her body, and she no longer had the grace of the past.
Fan Jiaojiao was straightforward. When she saw Min Lan, she immediately lowered her face and spontaneously picked up a stool to sit down. She asked, "Where is the Ninth Princess and Xiang'er? Why didn't you see it?"
Min Song sent someone to serve her tea and said in a gentle voice, "She went to play when she saw the princess's sister. She didn't know where to hide now. Don't worry, she would naturally come back when the banquet starts."
Half an hour left after leaving the banquet, thinking of slandering with these delicate noble girls, Fan Jiaojiao felt like she was covered with ants, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and her already dark skin looked even more dull. She looked around and pointed at Yu Miaoqi beside her and asked, "Which girl is this? Why are you so angry?" If it is appropriate, use it to pass the time.
"This is Yu Xiang's twin sister, a lay disciple of Master Lekong. After the trip to Egang, he returned home." Min Zhi explained softly.
Min Lan sat in the main seat, while pricking up her ears to listen to the few people talking, while dealing with the other noble girls, as if she was in charge of the master.
Fan Jiaojiao stared at Yu Miaoqi, and swept her up and down, her eyes were extremely unrestrained. Yu Miaoqi felt unhappy and felt a little nervous. If she could get along well with Yu Xiang, this person must not be the one who is easy to get along with.
Sure enough, Fan Jiaojiao spoke in a veil the next moment, "Is this really Xiang'er's twin sister? Why do you look so ugly? Could it be that you're wrong?"
Her voice was already loud, and in shock, she increased several decibels. Not to mention the noble ladies in the side hall, even the crown princess and the ladies in the main hall could hear it clearly. The noble ladies covered their mouths and endured their laughter, and a few of them were caught off guard and laughed out loud, which made Yu Miaoqi want to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Min Song was slightly stunned. After coming back to his senses, he quickly smoothed out the situation. "The twins also look different, so is the two youngest sons of Lord Wang. Furthermore, Miss Yu Er is so beautiful and charming. If she can be called ugly, how can we, the ones who are in the middle-aged, live?"
Fan Jiaojiao heard her mother coughing next door, and knew that she had been in trouble again, so she remedy, "She is actually not ugly, but she looks ugly compared to Xiang'er. I was wrong just now."
You have to throw away goods and die if you compare goods. You might as well not explain! There were laughter in the hall one after another, and even Min Song, who had always been reserved and steady, couldn't help but smile.
Yu Miaoqi's cheeks had turned blue and purple, and there was a far-fetched smile on the corner of her mouth. She gritted her lower teeth tightly, and a faint smell of blood spread in her mouth. She really wanted to roar without hesitation and tell everyone that she was the real daughter of the Yongle Marquis' Mansion. Yu Xiang was just a bastard and a humble business girl.
But as soon as this idea emerged, she suppressed it tightly. She knew that she could not say this. In this life, Yu Xiang would have to be her twin sister and the legitimate daughter of the Yongle Marquis' Mansion. Denying Yu Xiang would deny herself, and destroying Yu Xiang would be equivalent to destroying herself.
Yu Miaoqi was suffering in dire straits. When she saw that she was about to be unable to bear it, the sound of a wheelchair turning sounded outside the door. The laughing noble girls instantly stopped and pretended to chat with their companions. Even the proud Min Lan couldn't help but show fear. They all knew that Yu Xiang was an extremely short-skinned person. She could bully her people, but she could not tolerate others' oppression.
But this time everyone guessed wrongly. Yu Xiang and Yu Miaoqi were not only not their own, but also their enemies who never ended up dead.
"What are you saying, laughing so happily?" A sweet voice floated in with the rich fragrance of flowers.
"I didn't say anything, just say that your sister doesn't look like you." Fan Jiaojiao rushed up, took the wheelchair from Taohong's hand and pushed forward, for fear that she would say that Yu Miaoqi's ugly things would be shaken off by others.
"What's so strange about her mother and I look like my brother?" Yu Xiang glanced at Yu Miaoqi, who looked blue and purple, and did not take any damage. In the Marquis' Mansion, in front of the simple Ninth Princess, she could say whatever she wanted, but in front of these noble ladies who were thinking around, she wouldn't let anyone laugh at the Yongle Marquis' Mansion.
Min Song agreed repeatedly and took the lead in saluting the Ninth Princess. The other noble girls quickly gathered over and greeted them respectfully.
The Ninth Princess has never been very happy, so she waved her hand and hid behind Yu Xiang and Fan Jiaojiao. Yu Xiang pulled her out, pushed her forward, and looked at Min Lan, who was pouting, "What's the delicious, delicious, and fun, hurry up and come in for the Ninth Princess. Haven't you been entrusted by the Crown Princess to pick up the customers today?"
"Why don't you hurry up and hand in the water pastry." Min Lan pointed at a palace maid and shouted. Finally, she gave the Ninth Princess to the main seat and asked in a quiet voice, "Princess, let's play Huarong Road?"
Before the Ninth Princess spoke, Fan Jiaojiao refused in a muffled voice, "If you don't play, you can't afford to lose. The 200 taels of silver you owed last time has not been paid off."
Min Lan's face turned red in an instant, which made Yu Miaoqi feel much better. She thought to herself: It is said that birds of birds gather together to make a flock of people, and this is indeed very reasonable. Yu Xiang is a poisonous mouth, and her friends can choke to death with just a mouth.
Yu Xiang narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said lazily, "You can play, but the lottery has to be increased. If you lose one game, you will be able to get one hundred taels of silver. Do you dare?"
