Chapter 12 Return the favor
The next morning, Xiao Chan went out to find her cousin Jiang Yuan and told him Xu Xinyue's instructions. She then stuffed the purse into Jiang Yuan's pocket.
"The young lady has always used things from Ningluzhai, which are extremely expensive. Take this money. The young lady said that any remaining money will be yours."
Jiang Yuan heard this, his eyes sparkled, and he patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry, it will be done. Just wait for the news." Then he left in a hurry.
At the tea stall closest to Ningluxai, Jiang Yuan ordered a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts, and ate while looking towards the door.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally saw a little girl who was wearing the same uniform as my cousin said, with a black mole on her chin, come in.
I guess that must be Qiu Lian.
Jiang Yuan put a few copper coins on the tea stall, grabbed a handful of peanuts and quietly followed. Ningluzhai was usually a place that only the nobility could afford, and it would not easily allow common people to stay in and hang out.
Therefore, Jiang Yuan waited until Miss Qiu Lian paid the bill before he went in.
As soon as he entered, a waiter came to greet him. There were so many people coming and going that he could tell at a glance what kind of goods each person could afford.
He didn't look happy, and drove Jiang Yuan away impatiently:
"Hey, hey, hey, you're here to buy cosmetics. What are you doing here, a grown man? Go away, go somewhere else to show your attention."
Jiang Yuan was not annoyed, and he stuffed a small silver ingot into the hands of the second brother, saying flatteringly, "Thank you for your help, second brother.
I want to please my master, but I'm afraid I'm not very discerning. What did the girl buy when she just checked out? I'd like to ask the waiter to give me the same portion. I think it won't be wrong if I follow her orders."
Jiang Yuan was smiling and looked very easy to talk to.
You shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Besides, she was here to buy something, so the waiter didn't say anything. He just glanced at her and asked, "What the girl wants are all the best in the store."
Do you mean you have enough money?
Jiang Yuan didn't say much, but patted his bulging purse. Seeing this, the waiter didn't say much either.
I bought what I wanted, a bottle of rose gel, a small box of snail eye makeup, a box of face powder, and a bottle of hair oil.
Jiang Yuan thought about it, sprinkled the powder into the rose gel and balsam, and called a carriage to the alley behind the Xu Mansion.
He originally thought that Qiu Lian would return after completing her mission.
But it was a rare opportunity to go out of the house, and Qiu Lian was a little girl after all. She had to have a bite to eat, so she bought some snacks and cakes, and secretly drank some sour plum drink before returning home.
Jiang Yuan finally saw Qiu Lian at the opposite alley, called out "Finally here she is", and ran over in a pretend panic.
Qiu Lian saw that they were almost at the gate of the mansion when someone rushed over. She was startled and was about to dodge, but the man bumped into her head-on, and they both fell to the ground with a cry.
The items in Qiu Lian's shopping basket rolled all over the floor.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"what you do!!"
They both spoke at the same time.
Jiang Yuan got up quickly, picked up the things on the ground while apologizing, and when he turned his back to Qiu Lian, he quietly swapped the rose gel and powder in his arms.
Unknowingly.
He handed the basket back to Qiu Lian and kept apologizing: "I'm so sorry, young lady. From a distance, you looked like my sister, so I wanted to run over to ask her why she was here."
Qiu Lian glanced at him unhappily and said, "Who is your sister!" Fearing that something unexpected might happen, she ran back to Xu's house.
Having achieved his goal, Jiang Yuanpao ate the peanuts he had picked from the tea stall and went back to look for Xiaochan.
"How's it going? Is it going well?"
"Don't worry, I replaced the stuff that was mixed with drugs. The original good stuff is here."
Jiang Yuan took out some things and the remaining silver and piled them all in Xiao Chan's arms. "You can take the extra ones. These are all in good condition. They are perfect for you to use."
"I don't want it. They all belong to the young lady. I want to take them back to report."
"The young lady loves you so much, I don't think she needs these things."
"Miss, you love me, but I can't forget my duties as a servant. You are not allowed to neglect me in the future. Do you hear me?" Xiao Chan pretended to be angry and glared at Jiang Yuan.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Yuan didn't seem angry, and smiled as he pinched the soft flesh on Xiao Chan's cheek.
"I have to go back now. I've been out long enough this time. I can't delay the young lady's plans."
"Ah! Are you leaving now? We haven't even had a cup of tea together!" Jiang Yuan was reluctant to let her go, but he also knew that she had a mission and couldn't stay for long. He said goodbye to her with a little disappointment:
"Then you, be careful..."
"I know!" Seeing his frustrated look, Xiao Chan pursed her lips, as if she had made a decision.
She tiptoed and with a "pop" sound, her lips pressed against Jiang Yuan's cheek.
A dragonfly touches the water and disappears in an instant.
By the time Jiang Yuan opened his eyes in shock and put his hand on his cheek, Xiao Chan had already run away for a long distance.
Jiang Yuan returned to the shop with a grin on his face.
"It wasn't a wasted trip, hehe..."
Xiao Chan returned to Xu's house with a red face.
When Xu Xianyue saw this, she thought she was just running back in a hurry: "Why are you running so fast? You don't have to rush back to report to me. Just get the job done. These... are for you. They were bought by your cousin."
Laughing and teasing the little cicada.
Xiao Chan felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned red when she thought of her "impulsive behavior" before they left.
Xu Xinyue never treated servants harshly, let alone Xiaochan, who grew up with her. This time, she intended to give her and Jiang Yuan a chance to be alone.
Who would have thought this girl was so honest.
"Miss, after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet...I can..."
"You can take a day off that day. Let Xiao Shu accompany me at Gong Yan. She should be back from visiting her relatives tomorrow." Xu Xinyue knew what she was thinking and was happy to help them get together.
Xiao Chan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Miss!"
"So, Miss, what should we do next?"
"What we have to do next is wait. You go spread the word that you really like the rouge she gave you and have already started using it."
"Yes, ma'am."
At Hanxing Courtyard, Xu Baiyu looked over the things Qiu Lian bought one by one. He nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, these are indeed the ones."
This little thing cost her several months' salary. She really gritted her teeth and bleeds for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
While thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone outside announce: "Miss, Aunt Rong is here."
"Please come in, auntie."
Soon, a beautiful young woman came in through the curtain. She was about thirty years old.
Almond eyes, peach cheeks, high nose and thin eyebrows. Her narrow eyes showed her charming look. She had her hair combed upside down and did not wear many gold and silver hairpins. She only had a carved jade comb in the middle of her hair, accompanied by a few fresh white camellia flowers.
She wore a white oak-colored soft silk narrow-sleeved shirt on the upper body, a lotus green folded skirt on the lower body, and a turquoise blue long-sleeved double-breasted jacket on the outside. She was like a slender willow in summer, with a slender figure and a weak willow swaying in the wind.
She sat beside her gracefully and charmingly, and gently placed the tray in front of Xu Baiyu from the hand of the nanny who followed her.
Xu Baiyu looked at the gold hairpins and pearls with a little surprise:
"Auntie... this is..."
"When my aunt heard that you ordered Qiu Lian to buy lip balm and facial cream today, she knew that you had plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and would not give up.
Since you have plans, Auntie will give you these items to pave the way. Although your uncle doesn’t have much contact with us, he still thinks of us...”
Hearing Aunt Rong say this, Xu Baiyu's expression paused for a moment. Haha... Uncle is thinking about us...
When she first came into the family, Rong was also favored. Soon she had Xu Baiyu, but she was from a "declining family" and could not bring much convenience and benefits to Master Xu in the officialdom. She also never gave birth to a son, so over time, the favor faded. Originally, she could use the situation to support her natal family, so her uncle naturally treated them differently.
Now, seeing that he was being ignored in the mansion, he gradually became less enthusiastic...
In the past, even during festivals, I had given gifts. Although the amount was not much, it was still valuable. Now...
I'm afraid it's rare to come here even during the New Year.
The warmth and coldness of human nature is like drinking water, you have to rely on yourself.
I guess Xu Xinyue has already started using it.
Use more, use more, only if you use me will I have a chance!
The delusion in my heart is like wild weeds in spring, growing wildly and straight up against the wind.
Xu Baiyu's expression gradually became ferocious...
