Chapter 54: The Boy Next Door
The place where Li Qianqian took a medicinal bath was not in the yard where she lived, and Lan Hai was not so relieved about her maids, so she didn't let her take a medicinal bath in her residence, but found another yard in the garden, and asked Jinyi to get a small kitchen here, so that there was no need to cook the medicinal juice in the big kitchen and send it over, just cook it in the yard, and the medicinal materials would not flow out.

When Lan Hai made a request, he was still a little nervous, he was afraid that the sect leader's door-slamming person would not agree, and he didn't want the sect leader to frown, so he responded directly, "You pick a good yard in the garden, let me arrange it, isn't there a servant woman around Qianqian who is good at making soup?" Let her be responsible for cooking the medicinal juice of the medicinal bath, and by the way, let her make some nourishing soup for the two girls to drink." ”
Although Lan Hai did not forget to take care of his daughter when he took care of Li Qianqian, he quietly piggybacked, and the sect leader picked it out and said it clearly, but there was a big difference, Lan Hai was grateful, but he never brought it out in person, but after he went back, he took care of Li Qianqian more wholeheartedly.
As soon as there is Liu Er, an almighty little helper, it is natural to do things like a fish in water, and within two days of hard work, the yard picked by the blue sea was repaired, and there is a water pavilion in this small courtyard that leans against the small lake in the garden, this small lake is made by leading the Chu River, and the mansions in the east city of Zhenjiang City do this, without exception.
After Li Qianqian soaked in the medicinal bath, he played with Lan Tang in the water pavilion.
She has to soak once every five days, Lan Tang followed to accompany her, taking a medicinal bath is not a comfortable thing, the medicinal juice must be hot, soak in it to absorb the medicinal properties, and it is also a loss for Lan Tang to sit aside and chat with her, distracting her attention, otherwise Li Qianqian feels that he may not be able to survive.
On this day, when it was time to take a medicinal bath, Mother Ye prepared the medicinal juice, but found that the little master was standing next to her and did not move.
"Miss, why don't you have a wide coat?"
"Sister Tang hasn't come yet. ”
Mother Ye found out that Lan Tang was not in the house, "The slave goes out to take a look, you wait for a while, wait for the slave to come back, and then wait for you to go in." ”
"Hmm. ”
Li Qianqian nodded and urged Mother Ye to find someone quickly, Mother Ye came out of the small kitchen, her face was so hot that her face was covered with sweat, she grabbed a sweat towel and hastily wiped her sweat, and then came out to find someone, and when she went out, she saw Lan Tang coming in a hurry. "Sister Tang, you can come. ”
"Shallow, starting to soak?"
"Not yet! I'm waiting for you. ”
Hearing this, Lan Tang quickened his pace, and Mother Ye followed closely behind, and couldn't help but ask, "Where have you been, why are you late?"
"Hey, hey, I'll tell you and listen to it in a moment. ”
Mother Ye smiled bitterly, Lan Tang is good at everything, it is good to gossip, and sometimes she will make money, ask the maid to inquire about the news, and come back to tell her, I don't know where she learned the habit, Mother Ye is not Lan Tang's servant, even if she wants to correct her habit, it is not easy to speak.
Later, when I saw her talking about gossip, she never went out of line, saying something that the daughter of the boudoir should not hear, but what she said was very attractive, so she extinguished her heart of correction, and was assimilated and liked to listen to her gossip.
Li Qianqian watched Ye's mother change coldly, and then couldn't help but say to his friends, "The gossip charm is unstoppable to mortals!"
Laughed at Lan Tang until his stomach hurt.
At this time, there was wind under Lan Tang's feet, and he entered the house all of a sudden, Mother Ye hurried slowly, and when she entered the house, Lan Tang had already helped Li Qianqian enter the bath bucket filled with medicinal juice.
Mother Ye prepared Bai Kai, which was for Li Qianqian to drink, and brought mung bean soup and a food box with small snacks to cool off, which was for Lan Tang, and then put the tea and melon seeds she drank away, and Lan Tang spoke.
"You know, before we moved in, there were a few houses sold in the east city of Zhenjiang City, right?"
"Hmm. Li Qianqian only dared to nod slightly, because Mother Ye soaked the medicinal juice in a cloth towel and wrung it out, and then rested it on top of her head.
"The Cao house next to our house was sold to a pair of brothers, I heard that their surname is Yao, the brother was really handsome, their family opened a jewelry shop in the city, I heard that the jewelry he designed, the ladies and ladies in the city rushed to buy it. ”
"yes?"
"Also, that Du Mansion has been renovated a few days ago, and I heard that the new owner of the house is the young owner of Qingcui Villa. When Lan Tang talked about Qingcui Villa, there was a little disgust in his eyes, Li Qianqian looked a little surprised, and he had the impression that Lan Tang did not seem to have this kind of performance.
Mother Ye was eating melons and listening to gossip, and when she heard about Qingcui Villa, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does this Qingcui Villa do?"
Forgive her for being just an ordinary person before, even if she worked in the home of a high-ranking official, she didn't know anything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
"Qingcui Villa is a martial arts family! When Xiu Laozhuang was in his prime, he had competed with the owner of Zhengqi Villa at that time for the master of the martial arts alliance, but unfortunately, it did not succeed, but failed miserably, since then, he has concentrated on business, but he has not had good luck and failed to do any business, and finally handed over the family business to his sons and then did nothing. ”
"The master of Xiuda Village has mediocre martial arts, but he is very good at doing business, and in just a few years, he has run Qingcui Villa and become a well-known martial arts family in Southern Chu. His son Xiu Zixi heard that he has been outstanding in martial arts since he was a child, and his daughter Xiu Zining is known as the first beauty in martial arts!"
Yes, Li Qianqian can be sure that when Lan Tang talked about Xiu Zining, his tone was sour, which made people's teeth soften.
After exchanging glances with Mother Ye, Mother Ye asked knowingly, "How old is this Miss Xiu? The first beauty in martial arts, are there many people pursuing her?"
"She is sixteen years old this year, but she is not engaged yet, and I heard that Feng Yan, the eldest son of Fengjiazhuang, and Meng Dasheng, the current owner of Zhengqi Villa, are pursuing her. ”
When Li Qianqian heard the eldest prince of Fengjiazhuang, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, yes! It must be him. Lan Tang has lived in Fengjiazhuang since he was a child, and he must be familiar with Feng Dagongzi, listening to her tone, she regards Feng Er Gongzi as a brother, and Feng San as a younger brother and partner, although Feng San is older than her, but think about Feng San's performance that day, don't blame Lan Tang for treating him as a younger brother.
As for the eldest son, well, it seems that the little girl's feelings for him are not ordinary!
No wonder they are very hostile to the Xiu family.
"I don't know how this first beauty in martial arts is doing? What kind of woman can be called the first beauty?"
Lan Tang snorted coldly, took out a piece of preserved fruit from the food box and chewed it vigorously, "Who knows." ”
"You just said that the young owner of Qingcui Villa bought the Du Mansion?"
"Yes!" Lan Tang scratched his cheeks, "but he didn't buy it from the Du family, but from the people." ”
In other words, why the Du family sold the house, they don't know the inside story.
But it's no wonder that the Du family can be regarded as a famous family in Zhenjiang City, and they used to let their subordinates disturb their neighbors, just to buy someone's house, such a domineering family, but suddenly sold the house, moved to nowhere to go, and even a group of relatives and friends did not know his whereabouts, how can it not make people curious, what happened to his family?
"By the way, do you remember the young palace master of the Water Moon Palace?"
"Remember, how don't you know. When his cousin saw him, he turned away the Daoqing Guanmen. Li Qianqian was sweating, and even her hair was wet, so Mother Ye got up to help her wipe her sweat.
Lan Tang poured a glass of water for her, held the tea bowl, and took a sip of warm water, although it was warm water, but Li Qianqian felt that his body was not so hot.
"Didn't Shuiyue Palace originally cooperate with the Chengtong Chamber of Commerce?" Lan Tang took the empty tea bowl from Li Qianqian's hand.
"The people of the Water Moon Palace also settled in Zhenjiang City, right?"
"It's not him, it's Cheng Ziyao, the eldest son of the seventh room of the Chengtong Chamber of Commerce, who bought the yellow house in the incense tree. ”
Not to mention the Yao brothers, let's just say that the Chengtong Chamber of Commerce and Qingcui Villa, why did they choose Zhenjiang City to settle down at this time? When I heard Xue Muhua talk about Cheng Ziyao that day, it could be seen that the two of them had a good relationship, could it be Xue Muhua who suggested that Cheng Ziyao come to Zhenjiang City?
Mother Ye saw that the time was almost up, so she wrapped Li Qianqian with a big cloth towel and took her out of the bath bucket, helped her take a bath and wash her hair, and the whole person was refreshed, so she asked Lan Tang to help her dress, and she went to deal with the medicinal juice in the bath bucket.
After soaking in the medicinal bath, she drank a large cup of warm white water, Li Qianqian began to be drowsy, Lan Tang sent her to bed, and helped her cover the quilt before turning around.
She walked to the bathroom, Mother Ye had already processed the medicinal juice and was brushing the bath bucket, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Are you hungry? ”
Lan Tang smiled and nodded, helping to tidy up the bathroom, Mother Ye looked at it for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Why does Miss want to take a medicinal bath?"
Miss is still so young, it is really a sin to let her suffer like this!
"Qianqian is a premature baby, and the sect leader is afraid that she will have a weak body and will suffer in the future, so he asked my father to find a way to make her body strong. ”
"I see!" Mother Ye realized, and then asked embarrassedly, "Sister Tang, why do you all call Master Sect Master?"
"Huh, didn't the Fourth Elder's Lady tell you?"
Mother Ye pursed her lips and smiled, "Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything! ”
"Oh, the sect leader is the sect leader of the Rui Yao Sect, and my father is the head of the Rui Yao Sect Medicine Hall. ”
Mother Ye's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that she was so lucky that she was able to enter the Ruiyao Sect as a servant. "And our miss?"
"She's the master's apprentice and the master's niece, so sometimes she calls him cousin. ”
Mother Ye was still a little out of state, and just nodded blankly.
Lan Tang couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw this, pushed her, and saw that she came back to her senses, before asking, "I remember that you used to wait in the house of a high-ranking official, so you won't be used to looking down on the people of the rivers and lakes, right?"
"Sister Tang said that, we are subordinates, aren't we waiting for people there? The high-ranking official's house seems to have strict rules, but in fact, it's all one set on the face, and another set on the back of people, it's not as refreshing as the people in the rivers and lakes!"
Lan Tang looked at her for a while before saying, "That's good." Do you know that the founding leader of the Ruiyao Sect is the second son of the Xian Prince of the Tiansheng Empire?"
Mother Ye's eyes widened, I really haven't heard of this!
Lan Tang smiled and bent his eyes, led Mother Ye out of the bathroom, and then began to tell her about the history of the Ruiyao Sect, which said that Li Qianqian woke up from sleep.
She was woken up hungry.
Mother Ye saw her come out and was busy serving her to eat, "You can use it too!"
"We've eaten, how are you sleeping?"
"Hmm. ”
After eating, the two little sisters played in the water pavilion, saying that they were playing, but they were throwing pots, practicing their arm strength and accurate head and eyesight, and a little later, the sect leader sent someone to invite them over, saying that a neighbor had visited.
Mother Ye hurriedly sent someone back to Li Qianqian's residence, asked Fang's mother to pick up the clothes, and asked the big girl to send the jewelry, and Lan Tang's also took it.
I was busy for a while before I came to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard hall, the sect leader was drinking tea slowly, and the Yao brothers were sitting below.
When Young Master Yao heard the movement, he turned his head and saw two little girls with pink makeup entering one after another, and Second Young Master Yao also turned his head to look at them, but he turned his head with just one glance, the Yao family was in the jewelry business, and Young Master Yao naturally estimated the jewelry around the two little girls.
After estimating, I was shocked, it seems that this Loei family has a thick background!
