Chapter 167: Uninvited Second Miss
"Isn't that man the one who said he was kicked out of the list not long ago?"
"Definitely. "
"Then why did you get people back again?" I was even more puzzled.
Sheng smiled bitterly, "Because he doesn't have a good guard like me to protect him!"
"There are no guards to protect him?" I just felt that there was something in the words, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, as if this explanation would make sense. That said, he didn't make a mistake and he wasn't really kicked off the list. It's just because there is a high possibility that he is the reincarnation of a true soul, but there are always competitors around him who want to harm him. Most of these people are powerless and have no ability to protect themselves. So even if Wu Buli took him directly and brought him into that door, no one else would suspect anything because of his disappearance. At most, he will gossip about his competitors. "
Sheng Ku nodded, "All right." "
I stretched, "Anyway, there is still half a month before the dust settles!
Sheng Ku just nodded lightly and didn't speak.
In the light and shadow of most of the year, I and my life and suffering have lingered in this huge Liao City. We even watched the sunrise and sunset in the four seasons of the Liao City. The Tianzi No. 1 room can look at the most prosperous street in the city, and also see all the people who walk on this street. The list on the Ascending God Pillar changed again and again, and I saw that the New Year was approaching.
"Miss Du is there?" was a slight knock on the door, and a young woman's voice was outside the door. I'm a little puzzled, it's always the shopkeeper or the shopkeeper who comes to knock on the door.
Sheng Ku opened the door, "What's the matter?"
The female voice outside the door seemed to be silent for a few seconds, and then said, "The prefect of my family has set up a banquet today, and I hope Miss Du will come in person." Here's the invitation. "
Sheng Ku took it over and looked at it a few times, "Why does Miss Prefect want to invite my young lady? The general list is about to be released, and my Miss Du has ordered it, and no outsiders will see it." As he spoke, he handed the invitation out of his hand again, and then closed the door.
I'm a little strange, because although Sheng Ku has always played the role of a guard, and has a black face to the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, he is very friendly to others, such as the old woman of the Cen family's wonton restaurant. So he was suddenly so rude to a maid, and it was the first time I had seen him.
I saw the maid stomp her foot against the gate of the maid, as if she was not lightly angered, and a butterfly hairpin on her head trembled, and then walked away as if scolding.
"You're too careful, too. "I just thought it was funny when I saw it, and I turned around and started to joke. He was very unimpressed, "Obviously, the Hongmen banquet will not be good for you to go." "
"Actually, I really wanted to go. "I was lying on the table, bored. "I haven't been out lately, and there's nothing lively to watch, it's so boring!"
A smile appeared on his bitter face, he looked out the window at the street, and then smiled slightly, "Your excitement is here." "
"What?" I looked up, not knowing what he meant. But in a matter of seconds, there was a noisy sound at the gate of the Silky Fast. When I ran to the window to look, there was nothing but the noise that slowly moved from the first floor to the second floor, and stopped in front of my door.
"Is Miss Du here? The second lady of our prefect's family is coming to visit!" Outside the door was still the voice of the maid who had just left, but at this time the tone was also higher and louder.
I looked at the suffering, and said in my heart, you just didn't let me go, but I didn't expect people to turn around and move the Buddha!
He didn't open the door, but said through the door panel, "It turned out to be the second lady of Governor Liu's family, but I'm sorry, my young lady is not feeling well today, and it is really not suitable to go out." "
As soon as the words fell, a young woman's voice came from outside the door, "I don't know whose rules this is, it can be seen that this Miss Du doesn't even have a personal maid, she only sent a vulgar man back and forth to Miss Ben!"
Looking at me with bitterness, I can even imagine the earthy purple color of the so-called prefect's face outside the door. But if I don't say anything at this time, I really can't get by. Originally, my identity as Miss Du Mengbai was fake, and I offended this young lady of the Liaocheng prefect for no reason. Although it is only three or two days before the day of the general list, I don't want to have any extraneous complications at this time.
"Bitter, retreat. I lifted my breath, and said in the delicate voice of the young lady, only to see Sheng Ku looking at me with a shocked face, as if I was a fake in front of me. I glared at him and asked him to keep me calm. "I don't know if the second lady is here, it's always rude for me to come! But my sister happened to have a cold today, and I couldn't see each other in real time. "
I thought that hearing me say this would make it difficult for the people outside the door to retreat, but I ignored one point, it was imperative for these two young ladies to come. So when the door was suddenly pushed open, I was still there leisurely drinking tea.
The second lady of the prefect's family wore a snow-white dress, and her makeup was just right, like a clear pear blossom. But the eyebrows were not flat, and the slightly frowning eyebrows had already revealed her impatience and anger. But when she saw me, she embodied the self-cultivation of a young lady of her family. She immediately smiled like a flower, and sat down across my table by the maid's hand. Sheng Ku just picked up the teapot, but she shrank her hand at her, and the maid next to her immediately took it.
I laughed in my heart, this life has been arrogant for a while, but I didn't expect that there would be a day of cowardice today.
"Sister, I don't know how old you are, but judging by his appearance, I call myself a sister, isn't it too much?"
I was secretly amused in my heart, saying that it has been more than two years since I graduated from college, and you are a teenage girl doll who will take advantage of me like this. Although my facial features have indeed become a little younger after I entered the demon, I am not to the extent that I am called a sister!, but I still maintain a smile on my face, "What did my sister say, I am already embarrassed that my sister can come here to see me." "
The second lady looked me up and down, and suddenly burst out laughing, I was a little puzzled, "Why is my sister laughing?"
"Sister, you don't know, someone told me that you are extremely ugly, I was scared for several days, today I see my sister so beautiful, and then think about the words of that day, I just think it's funny. "
I also followed her example, covered my mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "My sister is indeed not as good as my sister." "
"Everyone is on the list of the Fun Pavilion, so don't be modest!" the second lady put down the teacup and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
I knew I was going to get down to business, so I just looked at her.
"Sister, sister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. "
"Sister, but it's okay to talk about it. Although my sister is young, I also hope to relieve my sister's worries. "
The second lady looked at the entourage behind her, and those people all retreated. She coughed softly, and her gaze fell on the bitter face standing behind me. I smiled and kicked him lightly, and he seemed to react suddenly, and he made a gesture and respectfully withdrew.
"Sister, I see that my sister is also a big family, why didn't even a maid follow in the house, we are all young ladies of the noble family, so we should avoid suspicion. "
I smiled, showing helplessness, "This guard grew up with me since childhood, and he is a strict person, and my father saw that he was reliable, so he agreed to let him take me out." Shuntian is so far away from this, if you bring guards and maids, I'm afraid it will be too ostentatious. "
The second lady nodded, but she didn't seem to really care about this, just sat down in the chair closest to me and lowered her voice. "Let's get down to business! Do you know who's going to be at the top of the list this time?"
I looked at her eyes sparkling, I didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, I just shook my head blankly. "My sister said with a smile, I don't even know who is on this month's list, how can I know who will get the top spot. Besides, what kind of place this Fun Pavilion is, whoever is at the top of the list must be fair and just!"
As soon as my words fell, the second lady suddenly laughed again, "Silly sister, do you really think that this top spot is uncontrollable?"
"Or else?" was still a perfunctory conversation, but suddenly I became interested. Xin said that if what she said was true, then this witch would be angry to death, and it was no wonder that she had been looking for the reincarnation of the true soul for so many years without success.
"Sister, say it quickly, my sister is really curious now!"
The second lady smiled slyly, but because of her sweet appearance, this smile would only be mistaken for playful, "We are discussing this important matter tonight, do you want my sister to go with us?"
"Where?" I said excitedly, and even started dancing. But I was sneering in my heart, such a nonsensical lie to deceive me is really too low-level.
"Come to my house, where we have a feast tonight. Wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't come?"
"Okay, please ask my sister to lead the way!"
The second lady smiled slightly, as if the trick had succeeded. But when she pushed the door open, I didn't follow, and for a moment a hint of weakness flashed across her face.
"Sister, what happened?"
I lowered my head and smiled, "Such a good thing, my sister should be done in secret, why did she invite me to join?" "
The second lady's face suddenly froze, and her eyes kept wandering, but she just didn't look at my eyes.
"I thought," I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her helpless appearance, and said that if I didn't relieve her of this siege, I might not be able to sing this play. "Maybe my sister thinks that no matter which of us is the top of the list, we won't be stingy to share the method of immortality!"
The second lady rolled her eyes and smiled very happily, "That's right! In this way, the success rate of our goal will increase! It's a win-win situation!"
I stood up and stretched, "Sister, let's go! It just so happens that I've been bored lately, and I'm going out for a walk!"
"Sister!" The second lady followed suit when she saw that I was moving, and hurriedly grabbed my wrist and said in my ear, "Today's arrivals are all the ladies on the monthly list, if you take this guard with you, I am afraid it will be inconvenient!"
I looked at Sheng Ku, his face was gloomy as if it was about to thunder and rain, and he knew without asking, he must have heard what the second lady said.
"You don't have to follow. I turned around and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk with Miss Prefect, and you'll just be here to standby." "
"Miss!" I interrupted him sharply when I was about to say something, "There are so many attendants and guards around Miss Prefect, you don't need to say more!"
