Chapter 540: Cold Reception
I haven't seen her for a few months, and the plump cheeks of the originally tall girl are sunk in, and she is wearing a duck egg blue jacket skirt with snow fox fur, which makes the weak girl have a little more sorrow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Miss Kou has been cleared. Qiao Zhao walked over.
Kou Zimo stared at the girl in front of him for a moment, then reached out to hold her hand: "Third Sister Li has grown taller. It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk. ”
Her voice was gentle and calm, but it inexplicably made people feel a little sad.
Qiao Zhao followed Kou Zimo into the house.
There were a few braziers in Kou Zimo's boudoir, and as soon as she entered, she couldn't wear her big clothes, so she took off the big coat and handed it to the maid, and beckoned Qiao Zhao to say, "Third Sister Li, sit down." ”
The maid served hot tea and silently withdrew.
"It's almost noon, Sister Li San will eat with me. ”
"No, when I came out, I told my mother that I wanted to go back and eat. Another day, I will invite Miss Kou to dinner, and then call Miss Zhu Qi and them for a small gathering. ”
Kou Zimo looked at Qiao Zhao seriously, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "I heard that my cousin recognized Li San's sister as a righteous sister. ”
Qiao Zhao nodded calmly: "Well, I am very close to Brother Qiao." ”
"How do you fall in love?" Kou Zimo asked.
Qiao Zhao looked at Kou Zimo deeply, and from her eyes, she didn't see the vigilance and unhappiness of the girl because of her sweetheart's closeness to other women, but was full of curiosity and confusion.
Qiao Zhao smiled slightly: "When I saw Brother Qiao, I felt that he was the same as my own brother, as if we had been brothers and sisters in our previous lives." ”
Kou Zimo lowered his head when he heard this, and silently rubbed the handkerchief in his hand.
"Lady Kou?" Qiao Zhao felt that Kou Zimo was different from usual, as if he had infinite concerns, and shouted softly.
Kou Zimo raised his head and looked into Qiao Zhao's eyes: "Third Sister Li, call me Sister Kou, you and my cousin are brother and sister, and you are the same as my sister in my heart." ”
Qiao Zhao nodded with a smile: "Okay, Sister Kou." ”
Seeing the girl in front of him couldn't help but smile, Kou Zimo suddenly reacted, and said with a pretty face: "Don't get me wrong, I, I don't mean anything else-"
Qiao Zhao looked at her with a smile.
She has always known that Kou Zimo has a deep love for her brother, and her attitude towards this is to go with the flow.
She hoped that her brother would marry a girl who was in love with each other.
"I really didn't mean that...... Kou Zimo suddenly became excited, and in the end, he couldn't help choking, and then it was as if the embankment had burst, and he instantly broke down and cried.
"Sister Kou—"
Kou Zimo hugged Qiao Zhao, his hands trembled violently, tears crossed his cheeks, and he was already cold: "Third Sister Li, you don't have to say anything, let me lean on, just lean on......"
Qiao Zhao was silent, reaching out and patting Kou Zimo on the shoulder.
She didn't ask Kou Zimo why she was crying, but she vaguely guessed that she couldn't get rid of her brother.
Since his brother moved out of the Kou Mansion to live in the Champion Hou Mansion and was also imprisoned, Kou Zimo has visited his brother many times, and it is unknown what happened between the two.
Kou Zimo sat up straight, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said abruptly, "Let Third Sister Li see the joke." ”
"Sister Kou doesn't have to feel embarrassed, everyone has times when they are sad. If you don't cry when you're sad, don't you laugh? Cry when you should cry, laugh when you should laugh, it's not a big deal. ”
Kou Zimo pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "What Third Sister Li said is, thank you." Stay for dinner today, and talk to me. ”
Hearing Kou Zimo say this, Qiao Zhao nodded in response.
After a few gossips, the two arrived at the meal, and the maid came over with a food box from the large kitchen and put the food on the table.
Kou Zimo cried in front of Qiao Zhao, and invisibly felt that the two were a lot closer, so he asked casually: "Didn't you tell the big kitchen to add a yam and mutton soup and two stewed snow clams with rock sugar?"
The maid bit her lip, glanced at Qiao Zhao quickly, lowered her eyes and said, "The big kitchen said that the girl was late, and the yam and mutton soup were too late to cook." ”
"What about the snow clams stewed with rock sugar?"
The maid's head hung lower: "The snow clams happen to be gone, and I will only buy them tomorrow." ”
Kou Zimo's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a careful look at the dishes, his heart suddenly moved, and he understood something.
She has a calm temperament, although the knuckles of her fingers in her big sleeves have been pinched white, her face is silent, and she said lightly to the maid: "Stand down"
After the maid retreated, Kou Zimo reluctantly smiled at Qiao Zhao: "I'm in a hurry today, and the hospitality is not good, so I can't help the third sister Li." ”
Qiao Zhaoyun smiled lightly: "How could it be, Sister Kou's food is much richer than ours." This braised carp happens to be my favorite food. ”
Kou Zimo breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to your taste, the winter food is cold quickly, let's talk after eating." ”
The two of them adhered to the rule of eating without saying a word, and ate silently.
Eating the half-cold and not hot fish meat in his mouth, Qiao Zhao only felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax.
The corners of her eyes were a little sore, and she blinked before she pressed the astringency down.
The married daughter is a coquetteer when she returns to her parents' house, and she is also a little coquettish as a granddaughter. She has been to her grandfather's house many times, and knows that her grandfather's hospitality table is divided into six classes, and she used to use the first class, but now she uses the last class.
The little girl Li Zhao may not understand, but she remembers clearly that the last banquet of the Kou family entertains the decent people brought by the distinguished guests.
Kou Mansion entertains the friends of the eldest girl in the house with the food that entertains the subordinates, and the meaning of this is self-evident.
They deceived the girl of the Li family and didn't understand, and their intention was to tell Kou Zimo, hoping that she would not invite the girl of the Li family to come to the door in the future.
The eldest aunt was imprisoned for being insane, and now the second uncle Dou is in charge of the Shangshu Mansion.
But the Dou family can't afford to lose Kou Zimo's face like this, and being an aunt's meddling in the problem of nieces and nephews making friends is purely thankless, so why not use this time to raise their own children?
So the person who signaled the big kitchen to do this was already very clear, it was her maternal grandmother Xue.
Once, her grandmother treated her kindly and lovingly, and every time she came to be more affectionate than her own granddaughter, but now, she has become Li Zhao, but she can only get a meal to entertain her subordinates.
The initial grievances passed, and Qiao Zhao straightened his back.
It's nothing, she has a father and grandmother who love her, because she is Li Zhao, and now she is treated like this, or because she is Li Zhao.
There are gains and losses, at least she can live again, and she is already making a lot of money.
Qiao Zhao's heart suddenly brightened, and the food tasted in his mouth.
Kou Zimo sat on pins and needles, waited for Qiao Zhao to leave, and raised his feet and went to Mrs. Xue's house.
"Zimo is here. Old Madam Xue glanced at Kou Zimo lightly, "When you get to your grandmother, why don't you speak?"
Kou Zimo bit his lip: "Grandmother, today-"
"You want to ask about lunch, right?"
Kou Zimo lowered his eyes and acquiesced.
Old Madam Xue said lightly: "Zimo, don't associate with the girl of the Li family in the future." ”
"Why?"
