Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The Recitation of Irreconcilability
They walked along the passageway towards the central hall, Xiu Qixuan saw hundreds of different kinds of birds in hanging cages creating a soft and melodic chirp.
Without even guessing, he knew that this was a pet that was treated very luxuriously by his employer.
Not stopping walking, Xiu Qixuan kept following the footsteps of Xiu Lingze who was carrying him. They walked straight towards the middle hall.
Arriving there, a guard pulled the door bulkhead as he watched them approach. She said cheerfully greeting; "Mrs Fan. Miss Fan. And, Big Miss Xiu!"
Xiu Qixuan nodded faintly back and smiled at the guard before entering the room.
With indifferent eyes, Xiu Qixuan pulled her gaze at a glance gazing towards the room that exuded luxury.
The floor of this room is wrapped in a smooth silk carpet in the form of floral patterns and foliage. On each side of their heads were beautifully shimmering octagonal lanterns and pillars made of black sandalwood.
Even furniture such as tables and chairs are made of traditional floral carvings with red pear wood. These are all very expensive and hard not to look at. It seems like the people of the Capital are very smart in spending their money.
Inside the room, Lu Ningya was sitting in the middle, she was wearing a green silk robe with goose embroidery forming a pattern of blessing. His head was decorated with jade with mink fur hanging following his direction.
Xiu Qixuan gracefully advanced forward. Putting on a smile, he bowed respectfully to Lu Ningya who was sitting high in the middle of the room. "Xuan'er salutes grandma."
The previous Great General of Xiu, Xiu Sheng Chi, died in middle age. His chief concubine, Lu Ningya, treated the three children skillfully without discriminating. However, Xiu Hongyi, his biological son died unnaturally. Lu Yingya was so distressed, that she never left the main residence, and stayed behind to find peace.
Instead of taking care of her, Chu Yu her daughter-in-law instead decided to go to Ping'an City, naturally Lu Ningya did not like that. He felt that Chu Yu's disobedience had already dropped the already defunct good name of Xiu Hongyi. Since then, their communication has been cut off. And, Lu Ningya had only received news again a month ago from Xiu Haocun, her stepson.
With a little indifference, Lu Ningya waved her hand and said; "Rise." He continued with a soft nod. "Good, when you get there."
Suddenly, Xiu Lingze came over to Lu Ningya. He smiled by throwing a researching gaze towards Xiu Qixuan. "Mother, you must be happy to meet your other granddaughter. Look, he's being very nice, isn't he?" abugn.
Listen in. Xiu Qixuan maintained a wide smile on her beautiful face. His face was obedient and respectful. Not contradicted at all.
The prayer beads in Lu Ningya's hands moved faintly and she simply nodded. Lu Ningya looked at Xiu Qixuan with an indifferent vibe, for some reason she was seen emphasizing her indifference. If, it was another girl—they would probably be distressed by the gaze but not for Xiu Qixuan who looked so calm.
Xiu Lingze glimpsed at Xiao Rou who was behind Xiu Qixuan. He nodded and said; "It doesn't look good if you only have one first-rank servant girl by your side." He continued attentively, "I'll send some servant girls tomorrow for you to choose."
"Thank you for your attention, Auntie. But, I seem to be quite with this. The people I brought from Ping'an were quite skilled at taking care of things." Xiu Qixuan smiled with gratitude, but she refused for many reasons of her own.
Xiu Lingze looked dissatisfied. But he did not force. "All right, just tell me if you need to." With a sigh, he continued saying to Fan Jingran who was standing beside. "Xiao Jing, escort your cousin to Faicheng's courtyard."
Xiu Qixuan knelt down earnestly paying respect to Lu Ningya. After which he followed Fan Jingran out.
Xiu Qixuan focused his gaze on the surrounding buildings they were passing by. Suddenly a soft voice from behind sounded. "Fan Jingran!"
Looking up, their steps stopped.
The slender and elegant figure of a beautiful girl slowly appeared. She had beautiful round eyes with attractive pliant eyes, dressed in light blue clothes with lotus flowers embroidered on the edge of the skirt. Her waist tied by a transparent belt accentuates the beauty of her body shape.
"Qianyu, why did you come?" Fan Jingran asked with an innocent surprised blink.
"You owe me a ride to the bookstore." This girl's figure responded indifferently. "Come, we're going!" abugn.
Xiu Qixuan looked at them lazily. Really, from the very beginning, he was able to sense that his existence was very transparent in this residence. A guest did not even greet him.
"Miss Helan, right now our miss must deliver Big Miss Xiu to Faicheng's courtyard first." An old servant who was sent to accompany them said.
Helan Qianyu, the popularity of this young girl was at the top of the social circle of the capital. She was the young Miss of the Helan Family who was the third rank development minister. She was famous for being beautiful and virtuous, her skills were also outstanding. It was just that he was a little arrogant and looked down on people.
Fan Jingran was his closest friend who was treated like a subordinate. It makes people cluck their tongues!
The pair of beautiful eyes contained a dissatisfaction that was trying to hide, he stared darkly at Xiu Qixuan and smiled compulsively; "Hoh, I became disrespectful from being excited." He continued, "Great Lady Xiu doesn't mind forgiving me, does she?" abugn.
Waving his hands, Xiu Qixuan laughed coldly. "Don't worry. But please next time, come officially to our residence. So that we can arrange a banquet for you properly." he said.
Arrive suddenly uninvited. This educated girl from him?
Within Xiu Qixuan's dark black eyes, a cold glint flashed to intimidate.
He was too tired from the long journey. For now, let's let this pass.
"Jingran, you can go. Thank you for driving me. I'll continue to the yard with the servants." Xiu Qixuan said flatly. After that, he walked away from them.
Standing aside, Xiao Rou whispered out a scolding; "Miss, isn't that girl too arrogant? He didn't even greet you properly." He continued with a rude growl, "Since these people have ignored you."
With a gentle expression, Xiu Qixuan chuckled. "Isn't this good. We don't have to deal with some kind of interference from their antagonists."
