Concubine's true colors

Chapter 281 Helping Jinwen
Xiao Jinwen's character has indeed inherited the tradition of the aristocratic family, she is very ladylike, dignified and quiet.

However, unlike those ladies from aristocratic families, Xiao Jinwen is not so conservative and dull in terms of foresight and thinking because she loves reading.

That's why Xiao Jinxuan said this to comfort her if she doesn't succumb to fate and strives for happiness by her own efforts.

Although it was a bit deviant at first hearing, Xiao Jinwen knew that her heart, which was as silent as stagnant water, was beating at this moment.

Wiping away the tears with a brocade handkerchief, Xiao Jinwen raised her head and looked at the gentle and quiet face of the cousin in front of her.

Suddenly, she seemed to be greatly encouraged, and she didn't want to suppress the feelings that had been buried in her heart all this time.

Immediately, Xiao Jinwen seemed to feel that she had found the best person to confide in, and saw her holding Xiao Jinxuan's hand, with a hint of loneliness in her expression.

"Sister Jinxuan, to tell you the truth, before I saw Mr. Meng, I never knew what it means to be in love with yourself, but ever since I met him in your yard that day, my sister has never forgotten Mr. Meng's appearance, even if I have warned myself countless times, as a woman, I must not be so shameless, but my sister really can't control my heart, and now I finally understand that the pain of lovesickness really can It is inspiring, and the taste in it is endless, making it unforgettable for a lifetime."

In fact, Xiao Jinwen knew very well in her heart that if others knew about her concern for Meng Mian, it would definitely ruin her boudoir name.

But it was too hard for her to bear this longing alone, and she also had an inexplicable sense of trust in Xiao Jinxuan, this decisive and ruthless cousin.

And judging from the other party's previous behavior, Xiao Jinwen can still conclude that this cousin's methods are a bit vicious, but she is definitely not the kind of despicable person who murders others behind her back and likes to spread rumors.

So now that her mind was broken, she admitted it frankly.

Moreover, after the words that were suffocated in her heart could finally be uttered in the light of Fa-rectification, she also felt that she felt a lot more relaxed in an instant, and she no longer felt so depressed.

After quietly listening to Xiao Jinwen's words, Xiao Jinxuan looked at the other party with a smile, and did not say a word of comfort. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Cousin, look at me. I think the matter between me and Yu Wang has been spread all over the capital, and my sister must know about it. If the facts are not in front of you, you would have thought that a mere name It is unheard of that a concubine daughter from Yangzhou would stay with the current king of war. Since it is so unimaginable, Xianyu and I have never given up on each other, and we finally came together. Imagine if you are willing to fight How do you know that you won’t get what you want, and grow old with the one you love.”

Xiao Jinwen, who had a downcast look in her eyes, immediately looked at Xiao Jinxuan fiercely after hearing this, and then she was a little uncertain, and whispered in a very confused voice:
"Sister, I am different from you. You are a strange woman, but my sister is not half as courageous as you. Moreover, I have to consider my family. My status as a descendant is doomed to my marriage. I must seek benefits for the handsome mansion. And most importantly, Mr. Meng may not like me at all, I don't want my unrequited love to cause any trouble to the other party."

Xiao Jinxuan is not a nosy person, but this cousin has always been nice to her since she came back.

Last time, even at the risk of offending the Bai family, she wanted to tell her all the details of Mrs. Wu and Bai Liu. Xiao Jinxuan never forgot this kindness.

And the reason why Xiao Jinxuan moved Xiao Jinxuan the most, and made her not hesitate to talk to Xiao Jinwen, was because this cousin didn't recommend Meng Mian's identity, putting aside all the rich and poor, all she wanted was a sincere relationship.

After all, with Xiao Jinwen's status, her status in the commander's mansion is not lower than Xiao Jinyu's. As long as she wants to marry someone, she must be the main wife of the Hou's mansion, or the general's wife.

In the eyes of others, Meng Mian's position as the No. [-] Scholar may indeed be promoted step by step, but it is not worthy of Xiao Jinwen's status at all.

But this cousin didn't care about these at all, and Xiao Jinxuan could tell that the other party loved Meng Mian.

Even if the other party loses Sun Shan this time, Xiao Jinwen's infatuation will not change in any way.

For such a woman who is so affectionate and reasonable, and who loves so purely, it's hard for Xiao Jinxuan not to be touched.

Therefore, in this matter, she has already made up her mind to help Xiao Jinwen as much as possible, so that the other party can get what she wants and have a happy home.

So after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Jinxuan lowered her voice a little bit, leaned closer to Xiao Jinwen's ear, and then whispered:

"Cousin, I already know your intentions now. If you trust me, my sister is willing to lead this marriage for you, and go to ask Meng Mian's intentions. If the other party really has no intentions, then the cousin should give up this idea as soon as possible. Thank you It will be the best result. But if Mr. Meng is also interested in my sister, then for the happiness of this life, my cousin should also fight, and Jinxuan will definitely help you."

Xiao Jinwen is naturally eager to know whether the man she admires also admires her.

Although she was a little shy, she couldn't bear the trouble of lovesickness after all. Xiao Jinwen nodded immediately, and then said in a voice as soft as a mosquito:

"If my sister is willing to help, my sister is really grateful. No matter what the answer is, I, Xiao Jinwen, will definitely remember this kindness in my heart, and I will never forget it in this life."

But when Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she laughed. She was willing to help, simply because she had a good impression of Xiao Jinwen and was touched by the other party's infatuation.

As for whether the other party will repay her in the future, she has never considered it at all.

"My sisters don't need to say these polite words, and Meng Mian and I are old acquaintances, so it is most appropriate for me to ask. In this case, I will set off and go back, and then I will send an invitation to this Jinke champion. When the time comes After inviting you to have a long talk, you will know exactly what the other party has in mind.”

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan got up and was about to leave after finishing speaking, Xiao Jinwen quickly stood up too, and said with sincere concern:
"Even if my sister wants to go back, there is no rush. At this moment, you haven't chosen the same fabrics and jewelry, so why not take a few and go."

The relationship with Xiao Jinwen, because of Meng Mian's incident, brought them closer together, so Xiao Jinxuan didn't want to hide anything when she spoke, and she smiled and shook her head immediately, and said calmly:

"Actually, Jinxuan was invited to come here today, not because she really wanted to choose any fabric jewelry, but because she was afraid that after the quarrel with her aunt yesterday, if she didn't come to the appointment, her cousin must be thinking wildly, so she was invited Come here, just to make you feel at ease. Now that the relationship between our sisters is getting closer, my sister is not afraid to say these difficult words directly, so my cousin doesn't have to worry about me. The palace dress and jewelry Jinxuan has already prepared Well, there is really no need to spend money on me."

At the last celebration banquet, Zhou Xianyu didn't wear the palace dress that Xiao Jinxuan gave him, but he kept it in his heart.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu had already told Xiao Jinxuan to arrange and prepare Xiao Jinxuan's costumes for this state banquet.

And Xiao Jinxuan had already agreed to the other party, so Xiao Jinwen had good intentions, but she really didn't need it.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was talking about this point, it was naturally inconvenient for Xiao Jinwen to force her to stay.

But thinking of this cousin, after having an extremely unpleasant fight with her mother, in order to consider her feelings, she still came here at the appointment, just to reassure her.

Xiao Jinwen couldn't help being moved by the other party's care.

Immediately, she not only personally sent Xiao Jinxuan out of the room, but also asked Ziying to wrap five pieces of the best expensive silks and satins in her warehouse, and then chose two sets of jewelry worth thousands of gold, and gave them all to Xiao Jinxuan.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan refused to accept no matter what, Xiao Jinwen immediately turned her face hard, took the other party's hand, and said in a graceful voice:

"Little sister, these things are precious, but they are just things of status. If you are declining, my sister will really annoy you. We are cousins ​​and sisters. We should not distinguish each other, so you should stop being polite. "

Seeing that the kindness was really hard to turn down, Xiao Jinxuan didn't stop refusing. Immediately after Zhu Xin took over all of them, she thanked Xiao Jinwen, and the two sisters separated.

And when he led Zhu Xin, he returned to the Forsythia Courtyard, almost as soon as Xiao Jinxuan entered the courtyard, Wen Xin came out to greet her, and from the look on his face, he knew that the other party must have something to tell her.

Sure enough, as soon as he got close, Wen Xin immediately lowered his voice and said impatiently:
"Jinxuan, the things you asked us to do have already been arranged. I have selected 100 of those abandoned children and orphans, and there are many good seedlings. I think with a little training, I will be able to send them to the big ones in the future." use."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan was naturally very satisfied, she nodded, and she immediately said calmly:

"You don't need to save money for me. These people must be well-trained. You should be responsible for all the housing costs. Wenxin, and you must pay attention to concealment. I want to use these people as a hidden card in the future, so It must not be exposed so early."

Unexpectedly, Wen Xin got the order, but didn't do it right away. Instead, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face, as if hesitating to speak.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was walking towards her boudoir, knew that Wen Xin must have encountered some troubles when she saw this. Immediately, she frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking with concern:
"When recruiting these people, what trouble did you encounter? Wenxin, you don't have to complain to me. What happened, you can tell me quickly."

Seeing that his own thoughts were seen through, Wen Xin immediately sighed heavily, and then said with a little self-blame:
"Actually, Jinxuan, in my opinion, let's choose someone else. You don't know that these orphans are too difficult to restrain, each of them is very stubborn and difficult to train. Moreover, the more than a hundred people I selected are still secretly formed. A force, the leader of the trouble is a young man named Su Qi, and he also threatened to see who the master behind the scenes is, otherwise he will kill them, and he will never serve us."

Seeing Wen Xin's expression was extremely ugly because of being too angry, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly smiled after a slight difference.

"I really didn't expect that there would be a remarkable person among these orphans. In fact, Wen Xin, you can change your mind and recover all the hundreds of orphans in such a short period of time. Qi's youth is really not easy. Maybe these people are really hard to control, but what I'm looking for is not a slave who can only obey orders. He has courage and ability, and can deal with emergencies well. It's the person I, Xiao Jinxuan, want."

Then she ignored Wenxin and wanted to persuade herself, but Xiao Jinxuan had already made a firm decision:
"Okay, Wenxin, I'll think about whether these people are available or not. As for that Su Qi who wants to see me, then you can bring him in secretly tomorrow, and I'm also curious, this guy with poor leadership ability , and a young man who is very good at conquering people's hearts, what exactly does he want to say to me."
