Chapter 35 Crying
But isn't this what you want me to embroider?Yu Qiu dared not ask.
The mother had taught her embroidery, and there were many embroiderers and maids in the mansion. Yu Qiu didn't do needlework very often, and would only embroider for a day or two when she was bored or interested.
Not to mention how brilliant she has learned, she can still look at it when she takes it out, so as not to get her hands full of injuries.The needle holes in my hands were caused by my haste and restlessness.
She chose to embroider the purse by herself instead of letting a maid instead, because the people she wanted to give the purse to were all sincere.
Needless to say, Daddy and Xiao Qingning, her own body must be exactly the same as Yun Heng's, and for Yun Lang, she should pity him, coax him and thank him for his care these days.
It is true that Yun Lang is mischievous and difficult to discipline, but have to say that his temperament has helped Yu Qiu a lot, such as teaching Xu Boqian to vent his anger in the street, or deterring the servants in the house.
Yu Qiu said from the bottom of his heart: "I am willing to embroider it myself, it is a little bit of my heart."
The moment she spoke, it was obvious that Yun Heng's aura had changed and became extra gentle, as if he was really the gentle prince according to folklore.
Yu Qiu's fingers were gently rubbed by someone, the other's fingers were rougher than hers, and the pads of the fingers rubbed against each other, the numbness, just like the feeling of being tingled by the fingertips, was directly transmitted to the bottom of my heart.
This made Yu Qiu very uncomfortable. Is Yun Heng acting as a caring fiance who cares about her?yes?They are going to visit the old Taiwei today.
By the way, she hasn't figured out how to please Old Captain Xiao yet.
Yu Qiu cheered up, expelled the strange feeling in his heart, and lightly twitched his fingers, the fingertips pulled out a little, and he was immediately grabbed back.
Yun Heng stared at her like a bottomless pool of water, making Yu Qiu restless.She tentatively moved her hand again, and finally regained her freedom.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit weird, Yu Qiu calmed down and decided to take the initiative to break the atmosphere, saying: "I thought His Royal Highness would make a fuss and go together."
Before leaving the mansion, she had been worried about this matter, because she was afraid that Yun Lang would be so spoiled that she would insist on going to Xiao Yufeng together.
Yun Heng's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and his words were casually loose, "He is safe for the time being, and will not take the initiative to find trouble."
"Huh?" Yu Qiu thought he had heard wrong, and looked at him in confusion.
"You have to think for yourself." Yun Heng raised his hand towards her, Yu Qiu leaned back slightly, but he couldn't dodge in the end, and was tapped twice on his forehead affectionately, "Connect the cause and effect before and after, use your own brain to think."
The antecedent is too long, Yu Qiu can't figure it out, he can't start thinking about Yun Lang's birth in this world, right?Yun Heng had just told her about the consequences, and she couldn't get in touch.
Yu Qiu didn't have enough brains, so he said honestly: "Can you think about it later? I'm going to the Grand Marshal Mansion later, and I want to think about how to face Captain Xiao first."
Yun Heng was amused by her, and the smile was undisguised, "There is no rush, you go first. There is plenty of time, and you can think about other things later."
Yu Qiu was puzzled by his laughter, and looked at him again, unable to understand, so he calmly thought about what he was about to face next.
There were servants waiting at the gate of the Grand Marshal Mansion, and when they saw the carriage from afar, they hurried in to communicate.
Xiao Taiwei was full of anger and was being comforted by someone.
"The prince greeted him in advance, explaining that he didn't intend to force his father to submit, so let him save face." Xiao Lun said.
Mrs. Xiao also said: "It is Yu Qiu who came today. She is only a little older and doesn't understand anything. If her father frightens her, it will not be good to hear about it."
Xiao Taiwei turned his back to several people, facing the portrait of Confucius on the wall, his face sank like stagnant water, unmoved at all.
The husband and wife looked at each other, and just about to persuade her again, Xiao Qingning, who was standing quietly behind her parents, said softly: "Grandfather doesn't want to see her, there is actually a way, it's very simple..."
Several people turned around, their eyes all focused on her, all puzzled.
The twin brother has always been less intelligent than the elder sister, and at this moment she is extremely stunned, shouldn't she try to persuade her?
"It's the same as ten years ago." Xiao Qingning's voice was not loud, and every word in the silent environment was like pearls falling on a jade plate, and it was transmitted to the ears of everyone present, "Let the younger brother pretend to be slippery, and once again putShe just pushes until her head bleeds."
The Xiao couple quickly glanced at each other, and both lowered their heads, pretending not to hear what their daughter was saying.
Taiwei Xiao turned around suddenly, his gaze was like a torch, and the coercion accumulated over the years as an official was forced towards Xiao Qingning and his brother.
Xiao Qingning stood upright, like a strong bamboo in the wind and snow, motionless.
Contrary to her, Xiao Yufeng, who hadn't said a word since the whole family got together, was almost distorted.
God is sorry, he is already trying very hard to pretend to be dead!
There was dead silence in the hall, only the grandparent and grandson confronted each other silently.
"Taiwei! The prince has arrived at the gate of the mansion!" The servant reported in a panic.
Xiao Taiwei's anger almost came out of his nose, he swept the people in the room angrily, and stepped out of the room with his sleeves thrown.The rest of the people quickly followed, and when they passed by Xiao Qingning, Mrs. Xiao nodded her finger.
The siblings followed behind, Xiao Yufeng complained in a low voice: "How could you do this..."
"Shut up." Xiao Qingning stepped out without looking sideways.
At the gate of the mansion, Yu Qiu looked at Yun Heng's outstretched hands towards her, and thought to himself that he really did it for the people of the Grand Marshal Mansion, so it's better to cooperate with him, lest he get angry and trouble others.
She obediently put both hands up, supported by Yun Heng's arms, and jumped off the last two steps, the corners of her skirt were blown up by the wind, and fell lightly like a puff of smoke.
Yun Heng straightened the purse around her waist, exposing the lovebird, which was the same as his.
The two stood still, turned around and looked at Xiao Taiwei who came out of Zhumen. Xiao Taiwei was old but strong, and when he crossed the threshold, he paused indistinctly, and then walked quickly, bringing his family to salute Yunheng.
"Taiwei, please get up." Yun Heng helped him up, and said with a smile, "Today I just brought Aqiu over to sit for a while, so you're welcome."
He faced Yu Qiu, "Aqiu, why don't you call someone?"
Yu Qiu opened his mouth, moved his mouth, and wrinkled his face in embarrassment.She thought about it halfway, and thought through all the countermeasures, but she was still stuck at the beginning.
Should she be called Master Taiwei, or grandfather?
This is very important, it determines whether she will be kicked out, and if she is not driven out, how to call Mrs. Xiao and the others later.
She quickly glanced at Xiao Qingning behind her, but failed to get any hint from her.
This movement was caught by Yun Heng, who also glanced at Xiao Qingning, and calmly opened his mouth to draw Yu Qiu's attention back, "Don't you even recognize your grandfather?"
Yu Qiu's watery eyes blinked at him gratefully, and hurriedly saluted Taiwei Xiao: "Aqiu has seen my grandfather."
Xiao Taiwei made a short sound from his nose with a cold face, and he didn't know whether it was a response or a cold snort. The only thing Yu Qiu could be sure of was that he didn't even look at him.
It's a good start if you don't get kicked out.
She quietly went to see Yun Heng, Yun Heng said to Xiao Taiwei: "Aren't you going to invite Gu and Aqiu in?"
Xiao Taiwei held back his anger, turned sideways and said, "Prince, please."
Yun Heng nodded to Xiao Lun and the others, then looked down at Yu Qiu, beckoning her to go in, then took the lead by himself, and Yu Qiu hurriedly followed.
In the main hall, Xiao Taiwei's complexion was still not good, he held his breath and greeted Yun Heng politely, Xiao Lun occasionally added a sentence or two.
He didn't say a word, but the atmosphere was very cold.
Just when Yu Qiu looked at the tea noodles in embarrassment and didn't dare to look up, a cry of "ah" sounded, and everyone looked at Xiao Yufeng.
Xiao Yufeng covered his waist and glared at Xiao Qingning resentfully, and took a step bravely under Xiao Taiwei's murderous gaze, facing Yu Qiu and said, "Cousin."
Yu Qiu was overwhelmed by the flattery, stood up abruptly, forcibly stabilized his emotions, and greeted him dignifiedly, "Cousin."
"Cousin, you haven't met my parents yet, have you?" Xiao Yufeng introduced Yu Qiu while bearing Taiwei Xiao's anger.
Xiao Yufeng thought that he had angered his grandfather today anyway, so he would die, so he simply said, "Cousin, it's the first time you've come back to the house, and your grandfather has ordered your mother's old yard to be cleaned up in advance.you go look?"
Yu Qiu's eyes fluttered here and there, and Xiao Taiwei's eyes that wished to shoot someone could tell that it was impossible for him to let someone clean up the yard.
She didn't know whether she should go with Xiao Yufeng and the others.
"Since it's been cleaned up, let's go and have a look. When Aqiu comes again in the future, he can directly live in her mother's yard, saving the mansion from trouble. What do you think?" Yun Heng asked with a smile.
Taiwei Xiao blew his beard and stared, Madam Xiao hurriedly spoke for him: "That's a good relationship. Qing Ning, Yu Feng, take Aqiu there."
Yun Heng nodded to Yu Qiu, and when he was walking outside, he called Chang Ji to follow.
This protective gesture was very clear, Xiao Taiwei's wrinkled face turned into a liver color, after all, he didn't say a word.
Leaving the main hall, without letting the servant girl get too close, the three of them passed through the door in the backyard, looked at each other, and finally were able to breathe smoothly.
Xiao Yufeng preemptively accused: "Can you say hello next time before you start?"
"Definitely next time." Without any guilt, Xiao Qingning led Yu Qiu across the long corridor to the locked courtyard, and said, "Now I'm greeting you, let's break the lock."
The small courtyard was not cleaned by Taiwei Xiao at all, it was the two siblings who secretly picked the lock and cleaned it.Anyway, the parents turned a blind eye, as long as they didn't hide it from Taiwei Xiao.
The three of them were quite happy in the back.
Xiao Qingning wanted to remind Yu Qiu that she had offended Yun Heng, and she was afraid that Yun Heng had recognized her.After thinking about it, when the two of them got together today, Yun Heng took care of everything, and secretly felt that the two of them had probably confessed to each other.
That being the case, she didn't need to talk too much, so she buried the matter in her heart.
But Yu Qiu was not coldly spoken by Captain Xiao, and also recognized his cousin and aunt. He was very happy and forgot all the things he had been thinking about before.
After staying like this for most of the day, lunch was used at the Grand Marshal Mansion.
At first, Taiwei Xiao looked very ugly. For some reason, after Yu Qiu and the others went for a stroll in the backyard before returning, his attitude eased down, and he actually looked at Yu Qiu seriously.
The day went smoothly, the two said goodbye in the afternoon, and everyone saw off at the Grand Marshal Mansion.Before leaving, Captain Xiao called to Yu Qiu, "Come here."
Not only Yu Qiu, but the rest of the Xiao family were astonished, only Yun Heng lowered his eyebrows and smiled after thinking for a while.
But his smile didn't last long, because in a blink of an eye, he saw a purse on Xiao Qingning's body.
It is light brown, the same as the purse on his body.
He was sure that Xiao Qingning didn't have this thing on her body before Xiao Qingning took Yu Qiu to the backyard.That's what Yu Qiu gave her. Yu Qiu gave Xiao Qingning her purse?
Clouds filled Yun Heng's heart, and he quietly took off his purse, still with a smile on his face.
Don't worry, I'll interrogate her later.
After waiting for a few words, Yu Qiu followed Taiwei Xiao and walked back, stepping slowly, with the purse on his waist shaking slightly.
Yun Heng stared at Xiao Qingning again.
Before the matter was clarified, he never startled the snake. Yun Heng kept this in mind and helped Yu Qiu into the carriage.When the carriage was running smoothly, he pondered: "Does your hand still hurt?"
Yu Qiu was absent-minded and didn't hear him, "What?"
That's fine, it doesn't hurt.
"Did Captain Xiao ask you to go again every few days and not let me accompany you?" Yun Heng asked again.
Yu Qiu was surprised, "How do you know?"
Xiao Taiwei was so far away when he instructed her, and his back was facing Yun Heng, so he can let him know?
A slight smile floated on Yun Heng's face, and said: "He told you to go, you just go."
Yu Qiu always felt that he seemed to know everything Xiao Taiwei wanted to say.
Yun Heng helped her a lot today, she was in a good mood, approached Yun Heng, grabbed his sleeve, and begged: "Prince, tell me first, what does grandfather want to tell me? I'm afraid of him, so I want to do it first."Get ready..."
"Then answer my question seriously." Yun Heng cut off her words and asked in a deep voice, "Did you embroider my purse yourself?"
Yu Qiu nodded obediently, feeling a little uneasy, "I embroidered it myself, don't you think it's bad?"
Yun Heng looked into her eyes, and seeing Yu Qiu's heart trembled, he flinched back a little.Wasn't she still fine just now, why did she change when she got on the carriage?
Oh, because it is away from the Grand Marshal Mansion.He was so considerate before, he pretended to show Taiwei Xiao.
Yu Qiu sighed in his heart, in fact, he didn't need to do this at all, as long as he obeyed Captain Xiao to make things difficult for him, he might be able to win people over.
This way of turning a corner and forcing the two families to reconcile will displease Taiwei Xiao.
Yun Heng didn't know what was going on in her mind, so she looked away, closed her eyes and meditated, and ignored Yu Qiu.
Perhaps she and Xiao Qingning secretly made an appointment to embroider the same kind of purse, but the appearance is similar but the inside is different.
Girls like this.
Along the way, the two had their own thoughts, and neither spoke again.
When he arrived at Yu Fu, Yu Xingshu had been waiting for a long time. Before the carriage stopped, he stepped forward and asked, "Qiu'er! Did the Taiwei make things difficult for you? Did he hurt you?"
"No, my aunt and uncle are very good, and they even gave me something..."
The father and daughter asked and answered one by one, talking non-stop, no one paid any attention to Yun Heng.
Yun Heng touched the purse hidden in his arms, and then looked at the exact same thing Yu Xingshu was wearing, a sneer slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth.
It was in vain that he took care of Yu Qiu in every possible way today, and made a good face for her. In order to make Taiwei Xiao take the initiative to meet her, he did not hesitate to expose his edge to make Taiwei Xiao suspicious.
Yu Qiu was kind enough to fool him with the purse that everyone had.
The eye of a needle in her hand is indeed true.what is this?Beauty tricks and bitter tricks go hand in hand?
Yu Aqiu, good, very good.
In the flower garden in the backyard, Yun Lang was reading a book lying on the soft couch under the green tree, with his chin resting on his hands, his feet comfortably raised high, swinging back and forth.
There were three books scattered on the soft couch, and under one of them was a very familiar purse.
Sensing that someone was approaching, Yun Lang tilted his head, saw that it was Yun Heng, sat up with bowed waist, picked up the purse and put it away.
Yun Heng asked: "Where did you get the purse?"
Seeing his gloomy eyes, Yun Lang felt joy in his heart, and he was really angry!
He shook his head and flaunted: "Given to me by my sister-in-law, this is the first purse she embroiders, but it is meticulous and meticulous, even more attentive than yours. By the way, do you have any?"
"My sister-in-law embroidered a total of five, you don't have any of them, do you?"
Facing Yunheng, he rarely had the upper hand, swung the purse in his hand, and shouted triumphantly: "I'm angry—hehe, you're so mad! You're so mad!"
Yun Heng remained silent and approached expressionlessly.Yun Lang watched him coming, suddenly felt something was wrong, and said sternly, "Your father-in-law and my sister-in-law are still in the mansion, I think you dare to hit me..."
He looked at Yun Heng vigilantly, seeing him getting closer, he panicked, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and wanted to run to the front yard with bare feet.
He just looked down at the pebbles at his feet, but he couldn't lift it up again, and was caught by the neck and buckled down.
The father and daughter who were still talking in the front yard suddenly heard a scream that pierced the sky, and looked towards the back yard in panic. The next moment, the wailing that once rang through the mansion sounded again.
