At the entrance of Apricot Hutong on West Street, a green curtain carriage stopped. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A young man who often dresses up quickly walked to the door with the word "Loei" on the door plaque, and buckled the animal-shaped copper ring on the door.

After a while, a door came out, his eyes quickly swept the young man, and he asked politely, "What's the matter?" ”

When the door has a pair of vicious eyes, although the young man in front of him is dressed as a subordinate, but the momentum is stronger than many sons he has seen, so it can be seen that the characters in the sedan chair must be extraordinary.

The young man was neither humble nor arrogant, and said loudly: "Our husband sent the three girls of your mansion home." ”

"Three girls?" Menzi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Which third girl?" ”

The young man was equally stunned: "This is not Loei?" ”

"It's Loei."

"Didn't the three girls in your house get lost?"

Menzi seemed to have been immobilized by a spell, and suddenly jumped up for a while: "Ah, you wait! ”

He slammed the door shut, rushed in like a gust of wind, and shouted as he ran, "The third girl is back!" ”

The news spread like wings and soon spread throughout Loei.

In Qingsong Hall, Mrs. Deng was taken aback: "The third girl is back?" ”

She lowered her face and asked the person who had come to tell her, "Where is it?" ”

The mother-in-law who came in to report the news stopped talking: "Still at the gate...... Menzi said that it was sent back by a gentleman......"

"Sir?" Old Madam Deng suddenly changed color and stood up, "Then don't let people in!" The pestle is embarrassing outside! ”

The three girls were actually sent back by a man, and later-

Old Madam Deng's chest was churning with blood and qi, and she took a deep breath to keep her posture intact, and ordered: "Go to the Hanlin Courtyard and call the eldest master back!" ”

There was a rush of soldiers up and down the Loei province, and the door was instructed to open the side door: "Please come in." ”

The carriage did not move.

Menzi looked puzzled.

The young man who had stood on the side of the carriage and asked for instructions came over, cleared his throat and said, "Mr. said, please come and pick up the master." ”

"Big brother is not joking, is he? Our lord went to the office. Besides, even if the eldest master is in the house, how can there be a reason to come to the door to pick up people? Please go in with the little one. ”

The young man often sneered: "Your mansion is a scholar, our husband has traveled thousands of miles to send your girl back, this is your hospitality?" ”

Menzi rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Who knows if you're here to cheat money." ”

Besides, the three girls have been missing for many days, and it's hard to say whether the masters want her to come back, and the three girls themselves are disgusted with cats and dogs......

Thinking like this, he suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and he saw that the young man often had a cold face, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people.

Menzi's legs were weak, and he hurriedly said, "The little one will go and tell you again." ”

"Is that really what the people say?" Mrs. Deng, who was waiting in the living room, had a calm face, so that people could not see her joy and anger, and stood up and said, "Go to the gate." ”

She doesn't look down on people, no matter what happens to the three girls, if people can send people back, there will be no less gratitude. It's just that she originally wanted to let the people come into the house in a low-key manner, so as not to attract the attention of the neighbors, otherwise the news that the three girls were sent back by the man spread, and the reputation would be even more stinky.

What does it mean that the other party is making such a big fanfare?

Mrs. Deng hurriedly walked out with her feet up, only to meet a woman at the door.

The woman looked like she was twenty-eight or nineteen years old, wearing a bean-green jacquard gown and a light coffee-colored horse-faced skirt, looking slender and beautiful.

"Old lady, is my Zhaozhao back?" The woman obviously came in a hurry, her breath was short, her face was full of tears, and she grabbed Mrs. Deng's sleeve and held on.

Old Madam Deng's eyes swept over the woman's hand that was tugging at her sleeve.

Uncouth!

The old lady withdrew her hand quietly: "He's, don't worry, the three girls are outside the gate, you follow me-"

Before he finished speaking, He had already run away.

The corners of Mrs. Deng's mouth twitched, and the word "rude" was added in her heart.

He Shi ran to the gate with his skirt in one breath, causing the servants he met along the way to look sideways, and just stood firm and asked, "Where is the girl?" ”

Sensing that the neighbors were hiding not far away to watch the excitement, Menzi wiped his cold sweat and whispered: "The third girl is in the car, big lady, you-"

Ho bypassed the door that stood in the way and ran to the carriage.

"Madame, please stay!" Two guards stepped forward and stopped Ho from approaching the carriage.

The faces of the two guards were ordinary, but the evil aura between their eyebrows and eyes could force people back.

He was shocked: "Who are you?" Didn't you mean to send my daughter back? Hiss - Could it be a robber who came to the door to ask for ransom? ”

Menzi supports the forehead.

In the carriage, Doctor Li asked Qiao Zhao with complicated eyes: "Is that really your mother?" ”

He wants to support the little girl on this shelf, so as to tell the world that the little girl was sent back by the white-bearded miracle doctor, and this mother actually shouted that the robber came to the door to ask for ransom?

This is for fear that Li Yatou's reputation is too great, right?

Qiao Zhao looked calm and bowed: "It's my mother, yes." ”

In the memory of the little girl Li Zhao, she has always disliked her mother from a low background, thinking that her mother's background caused her to be looked down upon, and she has always been cold and indifferent to her mother. Qiao Zhao combed through Li Zhao's memories from the perspective of a bystander, but he could see that He really loved his daughter, that is, ...... I was a little anxious in terms of intelligence.

Qiao Zhao couldn't help but think of his mother.

Her mother is a real noble daughter, when she was young, she felt her mother's strictness the most, and occasionally showed a little warmth, and when she lived with her grandparents, it was even lighter.

"Mother, I'm here." Doctor Li stopped Qiao Zhao from lifting the curtains, and she said in the carriage.

He Shi was stunned for a moment, and choked up: "Zhaozhao, my Zhaozhao—"

She couldn't care about the cold air emitted by the guards anymore, and she was about to lift the curtain on the car door.

When Qiao Zhao heard this, he sighed lightly in his heart.

Her mother has never shouted "my Zhaozhao" like Ho.

"He, come here!" An old woman's voice came into the carriage, "The old man heard that Mr. sent my granddaughter back, and I am very grateful, and I also invite Mr. to enter the house." ”

There was silence all around, and even the neighbors were tiptoeing to stare at the blue-curtained carriage.

A young man often stepped forward to lift the curtain, and an old man walked out of it.

The old man looked sixty or seventy years old, his beard and hair were white, but his legs and feet were very neat, and after getting out of the car, he looked at Mrs. Deng with a scrutinizing gaze.

The moment she saw the old man's appearance, Mrs. Deng breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, this gentleman is old enough, old enough to gag the mouths of his neighbors!

Soon, another figure flashed, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old pink-clothed maid jumped out of the car, neither humble nor arrogant to salute Mrs. Zheng: "Servant Azhu, please say hello to the old lady, please say hello to the eldest lady." ”

After Ah Zhu finished saluting, he turned around and stretched out his hand: "Girl, please get out of the car." ”
