Chapter 30 Self-Defense
Yu Minzhong smiled and said: "Miss, the appearance of this belt is no different from usual, but the middle is hollow, and there is a sharp needle, if someone is rude, as long as you press the button, the needle will pop out and pierce the human body."
As he spoke, he gently turned a red gem on one side of his belt to the left, only to see a "brush" sound, and a three-inch-long steel needle popped out of each gem, standing on the belt with a brush, shining with a cold luster.
Le Yu and Zhu Ji were both shocked, but Qingmei turned a blind eye, Le Yu was secretly happy, if such a belt was worn, if someone had bad intentions, as long as he smeared poison on the needle, the moment he hugged him could be killed.
Yu Minzhong is very good at observing words and feelings, and immediately put the belt aside and opened another box, but it was a simple and smooth hosta.
Yu Minzhong twisted his beard and smiled, "The middle of this hairpin is empty, and you can hide it by unscrewing the hairpin." Saying that, he opened several other boxes, there were fast boots with knives hidden in the soles, and bracelets with hidden poison needles, but Le Yu took a fancy to a small crossbow arrow, all cyan, with a total of six arrows, as long as they were tied to the arm, they could be sent out by aiming, which was very convenient, and it was advantageous to fire in a row.
Le Yu had already fantasized about using all these things on that person's body that night, if she had this crossbow arrow in her hand, she would have been able to stab the assassin to death last night.
Le Yu was very satisfied, pointing to the belt crossbow arrows and the hosta and bracelet, "Shopkeeper, I want all three." Yu Minzhong was already smiling, rubbing his hands and saying: "Thank you Miss for your patronage, our things here are unique, because the female dependents don't need these much, so there are only a few things, this price, it's a little expensive..."
Before he could finish speaking, Le Yu had already interrupted: "It's okay, I'm very satisfied with the things. Yu Minzhong was happy in his heart, and said: "The crossbow arrows and belt are five hundred and one taels, and the hosta bracelet is two hundred and twenty pieces, a total of one thousand four hundred taels, the first time the young lady patronizes, I will give you a discount, even if it is one thousand three hundred taels."
Le Yu was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly bitterly, no wonder the best flower tea was also brought to entertain guests, so expensive.
Seeing that Le Yu was embarrassed, Yu Minzhong couldn't help but be embarrassed when he guessed the reason, so he heard Le Yu say: "That's it, I'll give you two hundred taels first, you wrap up the things and send them to Da Sima Mansion to find the fourth girl, and I will give you silver."
Yu Minzhong was taken aback, and then ecstatic, he didn't expect that it was the young lady of the Great Sima Mansion, a noble person of this level who he couldn't reach on weekdays was a female dependent, he nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Make the envoy, it turned out to be Miss Xiao Si, the little old man was rude, and he personally sent it to the young lady in the afternoon."
Le Yu put down the two hundred taels of silver tickets and left, in the afternoon, Yu Minzhong really sent them in person, Le Yu gave him the remaining silver tickets and said with a smile: "If there is such a thing in the future, please inform me in the shopkeeper." Yu Minzhong agreed with a smile, "Since the fourth miss likes it, if there is something new in the future, I will definitely bring it to the young lady first."
Le Yu asked Xiu Yu to send Yu Minzhong out, and saw Qiu's mother running with a smile on her face, and when she entered the door, she exaggerated her joy and said, "Fourth girl, great joy."
Le Yu stood up, with a subtle smile, and instructed Lingge: "Pour tea, Mother Qiu sit." Mother Qiu sat down on the next brocade stool with a big grin, and said with a smile that she couldn't see her teeth: "Fourth girl, the old lady told the old slave to come and inform the girl, and the old lady will enter the palace to greet the queen mother the day after tomorrow, and say that she will take the eldest girl and the fourth girl together, and let the four girls prepare well." ”
Le Yu was taken aback, and hesitated: "Enter the palace?" In her previous life, she didn't like the old lady and never entered the palace, and the queen mother in the palace had never summoned her, and now she suddenly wanted her to enter the palace, Le Yu couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Since she was reborn, all kinds of things that have happened have been completely different from her previous life, and she is sometimes a little scared, she actually doesn't have much advantage over Le Xian.
Thinking of the strange attitude of the emperor in her previous life, Le Yu instantly made a decision, affectionately pulled over Qiu's mother, took off the eight-treasure ring on her hand, and said with a smile: "I know, bother my mother to run away, and my mother will take it to drink tea." ”
Mother Qiu had a trace of greed in her eyes, clutched the ring tightly, and said with a smile: "The slave and maid thank the four girls for the reward, so you're welcome." ”
When Le Yu saw that she accepted it, she asked as if unintentionally: "In the past, my grandmother was accompanied by my eldest sister when she entered the palace, why did she take me into the palace this time?"
Qiu's mother checked the ring, thinking that this was not a secret, Le Yu turned her head and asked a little girl from Ning Tang casually, so she made up her mind and told the truth: "Don't hide it from the four girls, it was the aunt next to the Queen Mother who came to pass the word, saying that the Queen Mother missed the old lady and wanted the old lady to enter the palace to sit, and also said that let the old lady bring the four girls, and the Queen Mother wanted to meet her old man." ”
Only then did Le Yu understand, and said with a smile: "I see." Then I know that when I enter the palace, I will kowtow to the Queen Mother twice. Qiu's mother is also the old lady who served the old man before she got married, and for the sake of the ring, she mentioned Le Yu again: "The queen mother is today's biological mother, the most charitable and kind, the emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, if the queen mother likes it, maybe the queen mother can marry it in the future." ”
Seeing off Qiu's mother, Le Yu fell into deep thought. No wonder the old lady suddenly brought herself into the palace, it turned out to be the meaning of the Queen Mother. But it's so dignified, how could the Queen Mother want to see such an insignificant person as herself? Le Yu thought of the previous Spring Festival Banquet, and then thought of the discord between the Queen Mother and the old lady who heard Gu said in private, and she knew it in her heart.
Le Yu thought about it steadily, her mind was far away, and she didn't know where she had gone. Gu Shi learned the news, and hurriedly came over to get some clothes and jewelry for Le Yu, and reminded her of her manners. As an edict, she had entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, and she told her experience one by one.
When the day came, he chose a light blue dress and only took Qingmei to follow the old lady into the palace. Because he needed to be low-key when entering the palace, he traveled in the same car with Le Xian.
The carriage was chariotling, and some small sounds were intermittently indistinguishable, Le Xian stared at Le Yu's face that had been dressed like a new lotus after the rain, and her soft words made people shudder: "The fourth sister has become smarter, and this face is getting better and better, and she is about to die." ”
Le Yu was not afraid, and calmly agreed: "The eldest sister really praised me wrongly, when it comes to being smart, who can compare to the eldest sister?
Le Xian said proudly: "That's nature, who is the real phoenix and who is the crow, at a glance." It's just that my father was confused and couldn't tell the difference. ”
Leyu was too lazy to talk to her, and closed her eyes and leaned on the wall of the car to recuperate. Le Xian was not satisfied, and smiled proudly, "My sister has never entered the palace, she will follow me for a while, but don't make a mistake and embarrass the Xiao family." ”
Le Yu was impatient to perfunctory with her when no one was around, and said tiredly: "Noise! You talk so much nonsense, it's better to tell people books." ”
Le Xian changed color, suppressed her temper, glared at Le Yu fiercely, turned her head and didn't say a word. When I arrived at the palace gate, there were already attendants in the Queen Mother's palace who greeted me and took a few people all the way in.
Le Xian observed Le Yu from time to time, thinking that she would always look around curiously or nervously when she entered the palace for the first time, but who knew that Le Yu actually lowered her eyebrows and walked slowly, following the old lady's rules without any mistakes, even the old lady looked at Le Yu a few more times, some surprises and praise.
