Chapter 218: The bigger it is, the more confused it gets

The number of popular skirts in Beijing has increased, from four to six, eight, and then to more than ten. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mulan is wearing a twelve-piece moonflower skirt today, with pleats extending from her waist and wrapping around her chest and abdomen like a colorful lotus flower in early bloom. She was already tall, and with this dress, she looked more and more slender and slender.

Li Cang was stunned when he saw it, and when he heard Mrs. An coughing, his face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes and politely greeted Mu Lan.

Mrs. An is not that stubborn old who can't wait for people's feelings, how could she not know why Li Cang came to pick them up in such a hurry? After chatting a few gossips, she said that she was going to clean up and prepare to go out, and asked Hongyu to help her go back to the room.

The girls were also interested, and they retreated to the door one after another, and there were only two left in the hall, Mulan and Li Cang, and the atmosphere was as uncomfortable as ever.

Mulan was thinking about saying something to break this embarrassment, when she heard Li Cang open her mouth first, "You...... Is the wound on your foot healed?"

Mulan nodded, "It's already well, thank you for the medicine you sent." ”

In fact, she hadn't used it, and although the medicine he got in exchange for Babatao was very good, it was far worse than the gold sore medicine that had been passed down from the family. It's also a shame that Mrs. An remembers the recipe, and deserves a pair to come out, and the wound will scab over and heal after only a few days of application. Now there is only a thin and shallow white scar on the sole of the foot, which cannot be seen without looking closely.

Li Cang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a face full of shame: "Fortunately, you are not seriously injured, otherwise what face would I have to come to see you? I should have saved your ...... that day."

"In that kind of messy situation, it's hard to find someone, and even you can get in. It would be wise for you to take your sister back to the house first. Mulan said with a smile, and couldn't help but think of Du Shunwen.

Although she didn't ask, she knew in her heart that he had rushed to save her. I don't know how he found her in the crowd that can only be described as crazy.

Li Cang's expression was calm when he saw her say this, and there was no resentment in his tone, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. He would rather she lose her temper or complain to him than to be reasonable, so as to at least prove that she had placed hope in him and had thought of relying on him.

I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I had to be silent.

Mulan didn't bother to find a topic to talk to him, and the two of them each held a tea cup and thought about their hearts.

Fortunately, Mrs. An didn't go for long, and she turned back after a while. Seeing that the hour was almost up, he said hello and led his mother-in-law out of the door. The two ancestors and grandsons rode in the same carriage, and Li Cang rode a horse with him, passing through the streets and alleys, and went straight to Li's house.

stopped in front of the Li Mansion, Li Cang turned over and dismounted, trotted all the way over, and personally opened the curtain. I got out of the car with Mrs. An first, and was about to reach out to help Mulan, when I heard a timid voice next to me, "Second brother, ......"

Following the prestige, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl wrapped in a half-worn cloak and standing there with a white face, it was none other than Hao Linglong. I couldn't tell if I was surprised or happy for a while, and blurted out: "Sister Linglong, didn't you go back to Shaonan?"

Hao Linglong was stunned for a moment, then her eyes were red, and she bit her lip as if she wanted to say something.

Hearing that Li Cang was commensurate with his brother and sister in public, Mrs. An frowned first.

Seeing that Mulan was still hanging in the car, Hongyu glanced at Tan Yun, Tan Yun immediately stepped forward to catch Mu Lan, and said intentionally, "Girl, you take care of your step!"

Li Cang came back to his senses at this time, and it was too late to help him. Mulan grabbed Tan Yun's arm and got out of the carriage lightly, Bao Fu and Pan Yun caught up from behind, this skirt and that dress, surrounded her in the middle, and squeezed him aside.

He was embarrassed and explained a little helplessly: "Sister Linglong is the daughter of an uncle's family who is good friends with her father......"

When Mulan heard the name "Linglong" at first glance, she knew in her heart that it must be the girl who Baofu and Socai said had something to do with Li Cang. Although she didn't eat that share of dry vinegar, Li Cang shouted other people's names in front of her and Mrs. An, and it was a bit too much to communicate with her brother and sister.

She didn't want to pull down her face, nor did she want to pretend to be virtuous and generous, so she set up a platform and paved the steps for him to round the field, so she didn't hear it, and walked in with Mrs. An surrounded by the girls.

Seeing her like this, Li Cang's heart panicked, and he faintly revealed a sense of joy. wanted to catch up and explain to her in detail, but saw Hao Linglong looking at him with teary eyes and pitiful eyes, and raised her feet a few times, but she couldn't take a step out.

He turned around to meet him, and asked him generously: "Sister Linglong, haven't you left the capital yet? Why is it only you, Aunt Hao Shi? This spring is cold, you are so thinly dressed, what should you do if you catch a cold?"

Hao Linglong's lips moved and she shouted "Second Brother", and tears fell down her eyes.

"Why did you cry so well? Do you have any difficulties?" Li Cang asked softly, seeing that she only cried and did not speak, he became more and more convinced that she had something unspeakable, so he said, "This is not the place to talk, you can go in with me." ”

Hao Linglong shook her head, took out a purse from her sleeve, grabbed two steps and stuffed it into his hand, "If the second brother takes pity on me, come and see me for the last time." ”

Without waiting for Li Cang's reaction, he ran away with his skirt.

Li Cang looked at her extraordinarily thin back, and subconsciously clenched the purse that was still dyed with her body temperature, and his heart seemed to be sour and astringent, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.

As soon as Mulan and Mrs. An left the Guogong Mansion, someone came back one step earlier to report the news. Mrs. Li came out early to wait in the Yimen, and before she could greet anyone, she heard that Hao Linglong had intercepted Li Cang outside the gate, and her face turned blue with anger.

She had long seen that Hao Linglong was not a safe person, and she had originally discussed with Li Jiye, and sent the mother and daughter of the Hao family away as soon as the New Year came out. Who knew that on the fifteenth day of the first month, there was a rebellion in the Pingchang Marquis Mansion, and the entire capital was under martial law. I don't want to make extraneous branches, so I will push this thing again and again.

Hao Linglong has been working Li Cang for a while, just because she kept an eye on her and didn't do anything too excessive. As soon as the ban was lifted in the capital, she found a reason to send the Hao family's mother and daughter to Zhuangzi. Lest Li Cang pity Xiangxiang and pity the jade to find him, he lied that they had returned to Shaonan.

The Zhuangzi is very remote, twenty or thirty miles away from the capital, and there are special people watching it. She only had to deal with it safely, so she was relieved to hold a flower party, but she didn't expect Hao Linglong to have the ability to find it back. also specially picked a day like today, and in front of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Xie family, he couldn't get along with Li Cangpan.

She didn't pay attention to Hao Linglong's ideas and methods, and it was Li Cang who really made her angry. She felt that she had never shortened his upbringing, so why did he become more and more confused as he got older?
