Chapter 100: Afraid of embarrassing the Xiangfu
Xin Nianyan looked outside. Although there were no windows inside, he could still see that lights were on outside. It must be dark.
"Let's go to the old lady's place to eat."
I didn't even go to greet the old lady when I came back at noon. If I don't go now, I'm afraid she might have some ideas.
After a simple wash, Xin Nianyan was changed by Xiaozhu, and then prepared to go to the Jingxin Courtyard.
Just as Gang was about to go out, her eyes fell on Xiaozhu's red eyes.
"Did you not go to rest in the afternoon?" Xin Nianyan asked with a frown.
Xiaozhu smiled and said: "Miss, Xiaozhu is fine. I rested outside for a while in the afternoon."
Xin Nianyan sighed: "Don't follow me, go have something to eat, and then go to bed."
Xiao Zhu opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but Xin Nianyan straightened her face.
"obedient!"
Xiaozhu was stunned and had no choice but to obey: "Miss, Xiaozhu knows, then Miss asked Chunxiang to follow you."
"Well, let's go." Xin Nianyan softened his voice and walked out.
Xiaozhu did not follow her, but asked Chunxiang to follow her, and she kept telling Chunxiang worriedly to follow the young lady well and not to be bullied by others.
Xin Nianyan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "I just went to the old lady's place to have a meal."
Those who didn’t know thought she was going to do something!
"Hey~" Xiaozhu touched his head and didn't say anything.
Seeing that she couldn't help but yawn again, Xin Nianyan ordered: "Go to eat quickly and then rest."
"I understand, Miss." Xiaozhu felt that the Miss was caring about him, her heart felt warm, and her little face was filled with happiness.
Xin Nianyan took Chunxiang out of Yanyun Courtyard and walked all the way to Jingxin Courtyard.
Since the incident at Baiyun Restaurant, this is the first time that Chunxiang has followed Xin Nianyan as her personal maid.
It was clear that she and Chun Cao Xiao Zhu were the three big maids around Xin Nianyan in the past, serving closely, but now she actually felt nervous.
Just walking behind Xin Nianyan, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to express herself, her heart was beating loudly. While she was nervous, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Now she and Chuncao are doing odd jobs in Yanyunyuan. Now that she can follow the young lady, does it mean that her status has been slightly improved and she is no longer a low-class maid?
Xin Nianyan seemed to feel Chunxiang's nervousness and looked back at her.
Chunxiang was startled and quickly lowered her head, folding her hands in front of her body and holding them nervously.
Xin Nianyan just glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.
"Madam, haven't you been in trouble lately?" she asked casually.
Chunxiang was startled again, quickly shook her head and said, "No...no, I would like to thank you, Miss."
"Well, no, that's fine."
Xin Nianyan didn't speak, and he went all the way to Jingxinyuan. Xin Yuanwen was also here. Dinner had just been prepared and the two of them were preparing to go to the dining room.
"Grandma, father, Yan'er has come to say hello to grandma."
Xin Nianyan stood in front of the two of them, bowed his knees slightly and was polite.
Xin Yuanwen looked at her with complicated eyes.
The old lady's eyes flashed, and she waved to her with a smile: "Yan'er is here, come on, have you eaten yet? Your father and I are about to go to eat."
Xin Nianyan walked over, held her hand, and said playfully: "No, don't you want to come to grandma's place for a meal?"
"Hehehe, okay, let's go have dinner together."
The old lady laughed and pulled Xin Nianyan to the dining room.
The three of them sat down and the servants began to serve the food.
In the past, the food was served first, and the master came and ate directly. However, now that the weather is cold, we waited for them to come and sit down before serving the food. Otherwise, if they didn't spend more time saying a few words, the food might get cold.
.
"Yan'er, where did you go to burn incense yesterday? Why didn't you come back in the evening?"
While waiting for the food to be served, the old lady couldn't help but ask.
"I went to Fulu Temple, thirty miles away from Beijing. I heard that the incense was strong there and the wishes came true, so Yan'er went there." Xin Nianyan explained truthfully: "Because it's far away, Xue
The road to heaven is not easy to walk, and I was afraid that I would be late when I came back and would not be able to reach the city in time, so I simply stayed in the temple for one night and rushed back this morning."
Since Qin Han had already said before that they stayed at Fulu Temple last night, she just followed suit.
Staying overnight in a temple is better than staying overnight in a village.
Anyway, it was Qin Han who said it first. If someone investigates or something, he will go and resolve it himself.
But you shouldn’t check such a trivial matter. Who would be so bored and have nothing to do?
"Is that so? Were you with Prince Han last night?" the old lady asked again.
There seems to be something in the words.
Xin Nianyan stared at her eyes for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "We are together, maybe. The two meditation rooms arranged by the host happen to be adjacent to each other. If anything happens to each other, we can call each other at any time."
The old lady was startled when she heard her first words, but she was relieved when she heard the rest.
"That's good, that's good. Fortunately, the prince is here, otherwise grandma would really be worried about you being out alone."
After a pause, she scolded again: "You kid, you didn't know to tell me in advance that you were going to stay out for the night. You didn't come back last night. Don't you know how worried your father and I are about you?"
"Haha, grandma, did I also make a temporary decision?"
When I found out that I couldn't make it back, I temporarily decided to stay in the temple for the night."
"By the way, grandma, no one thinks that Yan'er stayed out all night because she was fooling around outside, right?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment and sighed: "It's not what happened. I don't know who is talking nonsense. It's just one morning and it has spread all over the city. Otherwise, how could your father be so angry to find you in the morning?"
Don’t I just want to ask you what you did last night?”
The last sentence naturally opened up the story of Xin Yuanwen's aggressive trip to Yanyun Yuan at noon.
Xin Nianyan smiled, then said angrily: "Some people are really talking nonsense, it's really too much. Are these people's mouths so restless? If I don't go there just to show off, they can still talk nonsense.
"
"Yes." The old lady was also very angry. She was angry before that Xin Nianyan stayed out all night and embarrassed the prime minister's house. Now that she knew Qin Han was there, she was angry that someone was spreading rumors.
"But Yan'er, don't worry. Since the prince is with you, I guess he won't just watch others criticize you." She comforted Xin Nianyan.
