As Xie Ruzhuo said this, he turned back and wanted to call Xie Huainan to pay the bill.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, she heard an extremely annoying voice, "This hairpin is good. I think my aunt will like it. Man, wrap it up quickly."
Before the Xie sisters could react, the hairpin on the cabinet was snatched away by another pair of hands.
A face appeared in front of him. He had pretty features, but the domineering look in his eyes was so obvious that Xie Ruzhuo frowned. It was her, and it turned out that we were enemies on a narrow road.
"I was the first to like this hairpin."
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo speak, the visitor immediately sneered, "What a joke. This hairpin is clearly on the cabinet. You didn't pay for it, so why would you say it's yours? Besides, if you call it, will it agree?"
Xie Ruzhuo knew this girl, and she had some troubles with her. This person is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and the nephew of the Concubine Xian. She has been chasing after Xiao Junhan since she was a child, and considers herself the future fourth princess. In his previous life, because he wanted to marry Xiao Junhan, he often secretly made things difficult for him.
Even the Xie family's downfall, I'm afraid she was behind it!
When he thought of this, a cold light suddenly appeared in Xie Ruzhuo's eyes. He glared at Zhang Xiuyan and said, "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Miss Zhang from Shangshu Mansion. Is this your tutor from Shangshu Mansion? I don't think it's very good!"
Such a delicate young lady like Zhang Xiuyan was used to being overbearing, but now she felt a little creepy when Xie Ruzhuo glared at her. She couldn't help but take a step back. After hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "How is my tutor? I don't need you to comment."
Things don’t cost much, but the key lies in the thought! She had previously made Concubine Xian unhappy because of a few words, so she originally wanted to use a gadget to coax her. But who would have thought that Xie Ruzhuo would take the thing she was interested in first? How could she not be angry!
Zhang Xiuyan felt very angry when she thought of the way Xie Ruzhuo used to flirt in front of Xiao Junhan. She stared straight at Xie Ruzhuo and said word by word, "It's your tutor in the Xie Mansion who just allows the female family members to go out, but still shows great courtesy in front of men. It's really embarrassing!"
"Haha, what a joke." Xie Ruzhuo laughed angrily. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Xie Ruyue held his hand.
"Okay, what are you talking about when you are noisy outside?" Seeing more and more people gathering around, Xie Ruyue couldn't help but frown, pulled Xie Ruzhuo and said, "Miss Zhang, it's just a hairpin, if you like , just take it.”
It's a pity that she meant to show kindness, but the other party didn't appreciate it.
Zhang Xiuyan blocked her way and sneered, "What, you guys want to leave now that you're in the wrong? I was the first to take a fancy to this hairpin, and I asked the guy to keep it for me, but I don't want to go to the second floor. , how come you have given it to me? I, Zhang Xiuyan, really don’t care about what others give me!"
"Since Miss Zhang doesn't care about the things given by others, why did she bother to snatch the invitation from the eldest princess earlier?" Xie Ruzhuo was too lazy to argue with her, but it didn't mean that she would suffer from this cowardice. Since I can't leave, I'll just have a good time!
Zhang Xiuyan blushed with anger when this matter was mentioned. When the eldest princess sent the invitation, she was not invited originally. Later, she shamelessly went to ask for one from other ladies.
But although she did it, it doesn't mean she will admit it, "Stop slandering me!"
"Whether it's slander or not, you know best in your heart." Xie Ruzhuo snorted coldly and frowned at the woman in front of him.
Seeing that her little sister was not at a disadvantage, Xie Ruyue did not want to make any more noise, so she tried to persuade her, "Miss Zhang, my sister is young and ignorant. The Zhang family is also a respectable family and there is no need to make a fuss over a hairpin. What do you think?" right?"
She originally thought that Zhang Xiuyan would restrain herself after she carried out the Zhang family. But who would have thought that instead of dying down, the other party became even more aggressive.
"You also know that I am from the Zhang family, so you should know that the Zhang family is not so easy to bully!"
"Since some people are shameless, let's make a judgment." Xie Ruzhuo laughed angrily and looked directly at the waiter beside him, saying, "Man, tell me if this hairpin is mine." The one you like first."
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo asking the waiter, Zhang Xiuyan was not far behind and said, "Brother, let me ask you, before I went up to the second floor, did I ask you to take a good look at the hairpin so that no one else would look at it again?" She said and cast another sidelong glance. Xie Ruzhuo, "You are quite good at confusing right and wrong, but unfortunately, there are witnesses here!"
"Three ladies, even the youngest one doesn't know."
Although the clerk was smart and had stayed in Linglong Pavilion for a long time and gained a lot of experience, it was obvious that he couldn't afford to offend any family now. A pile of sweat broke out on his anxious face, and he suddenly turned his eyebrows and said, "Ouch, my little one has a little stomachache. I'll go to the backyard first." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Seeing that the waiters were scared away by them, the people watching on the side curled their lips and thought to themselves, this so-called wealthy family has a bad reputation!
Xie Huainan on the side obviously also noticed the situation here.
The young ladies who have never left the court should originally behave in a moderate manner, but now they are causing trouble in the shops on the street. If someone catches them and makes some excuse, it will be extremely detrimental to their future marriages.
But what if you try to persuade it yourself
A grown man like himself insisted on getting involved in the quarrels between their daughters. Not only would the young lady from the Zhang family not appreciate it, but she might also blame her. After all, it is just a conflict between girls at the moment. If he gets involved, it will be a family matter.
But just let them make trouble there? First of all, the identity of the Zhang family has a deep connection with Concubine Xian. It is unknown whether they will become the in-laws of their children. Secondly, if you allow your younger sister to be so presumptuous in public, wouldn't it make people laugh at the family tradition of the Xie family? It would be fine if it was Lin'er, but a look could scare him. But for such an old sister, there is almost nothing she can do right now...
Xie Huainan took a sip of the already cold tea, and then came to his senses and found that the battle on the other side had almost reached a fever pitch. The two sides were going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, which attracted the attention of the people around them.
"To say that the Xie family has a strict family tradition, and to say that the younger generations of the Xie family are well-educated and well-controlled, in my opinion, these are completely fabricated by people who deliberately curry favor with you Xie family. You, one of the two concubines in the capital, are even more famous. It's just a false reputation. If the children born in your family are really like the rumors outside, wouldn't your behavior of robbing things today be a public slap in the face? "
When she said this, Zhang Xiuyan felt that her whole body had become rational. She was probably too excited, and even the steps on her head were shaking violently.
This petite official lady used tricks like a shrew, and it was obvious that she had no other abilities.
It's a pity that Xie Ruzhuo's expression became more and more indifferent as she spoke so hard. After Zhang Xiuyan finally shut up, she asked, "Miss Zhang, are you finished?"
Zhang Xiuyan obviously didn't expect her to react like this, and she was a little stunned for a moment.
If she didn't speak, she would acquiesce, "Now that you've finished speaking, let me tell you. Who saw this hairpin first and who decided to buy it first, let's not care about it for now, because anyone with a discerning eye can It's easy to see. As for the issue you mentioned about the Xie family's family tradition, I admit that our Xie family is indeed not as good as your mansion. After all, children of the Xie family can't do what you just did."
Xie Ruzhuo's words made Zhang Xiuyan's already rosy face flush even more. It's a pity that Xie Ruzhuo didn't give her a chance to speak, so he continued, "It was not my intention to choose the same hairpin as Miss Zhang. It's just that my mother's birthday is coming soon. As a daughter, I should express my feelings. After all, my mother works for the house day and night. After all the hard work, children should also be filial, right? Miss Zhang, are you right?"
Compared to his own indiscriminate words and rough neck, the other party's voice was not loud, and every word he said was particularly reasonable. He didn't say a single curse word, but he scolded himself inside and out. The ladies at the showcase next to her were even pointing here, and Zhang Xiuyan almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl through.
Seeing that the quarrel had come to an end, Xie Huainan in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he finally saw how powerful this sister's mouth was.
"It's getting late. Miss, let's go back to the house. The master is still waiting at home." Seeing Zhang Xiuyan blushing with anger, but unable to say a word, she was almost on the verge of breaking out. The maid behind her was busy He came out to smooth things over and reminded him by the way.
A maid showed the steps. Zhang Xiuyan angrily pulled the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Xie Ruzhuo, your eloquence is indeed good, but I warn you, don't get complacent too soon!"
Xie Ruzhuo calmly looked at Zhang Xiuyan's leaving figure and said, "Man, pack up the hairpin."
One party had already left, and the farce was quickly put away. The waiter didn't make any excuses to leave this time. He quickly wrapped the hairpin and handed it to the maid respectfully.
Xie Huainan from the other side of the banquet also came over. The brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled. No one noticed that what happened here had already fallen into the eyes of the people in the teahouse opposite.
There was a table placed by the window of the tea house, with a person sitting on each side.
"This woman is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family? Didn't you say that she is unreasonable and willful? The rumors are really hard to believe." The girl sitting opposite the man patted the crumbs on her hand, and then said thoughtfully, "She looks very brave. No wonder she can help you block arrows. It's a pity that I still don't like her!"
After saying that, the girl picked up a piece of snack again, made a position for Xie Ruzhuo, and started eating by herself.
Hearing her words, Xiao Junxi couldn't help but smile, but did not speak.
heroic? This word? It seems a bit suitable to describe her. The way she looked at the beginning was really like a bird with fried feathers, brave and fearless, and very cute.
Xiao Junxi looked over again and saw that the little bird with fried feathers had returned to its docile appearance. Next to him was the eldest son Xie, who clearly wanted to look serious but was full of helplessness.
"Brother, we agreed that you will be responsible for the checkout today. You can't go back on your word now." Xie Ruzhuo looked at his elder brother with a sly smile on his face, holding a lot of trophies in his hands.
Xie Huainan glanced at her helplessly and said, "It's just this once, it won't be the same next time."
"Okay, I know."
"What if you know your mistakes and don't correct them?"
"It's okay to serve as a domestic servant." Xie Ruzhuo said this with a crooked look, and then said angrily, "Oh, brother, you are so wordy, please pay quickly."
