Chapter 53 The Girl

Li Xiaonuan had just unscrewed the lotus canopy, and when he heard the movement, he turned around violently and saw Cheng Ke rushing over, his mouth was half open, his eyes were round, and he was stunned.

Zhou Jingran rushed to the bridge after Cheng Ke, looked at Li Xiaonuan, who was like a fool with straight eyes and open mouth, and laughed,

"This girl hurts"

"He's a cat"

Li Xiaonuan scolded viciously in his heart, hurriedly closed his mouth, half-lowered his eyes, tightly held the lotus canopy in his hand, and subconsciously took a few steps back, only to feel that the leader was sensitive.

Cheng Ke stood at the head of the Jiuqu Bridge and smiled proudly, he and Zhou Jingran blocked the bridge, and the other end of the Jiuqu Bridge led to the water pavilion in the lake, Li Xiaonuan wanted to escape, unless he flew over the heads of the two of them

Cheng Ke "brushed" the folding fan, shook it slowly, walked in front of Li Xiaonuan in all directions, "hummed" coldly, closed the folding fan again, stretched out the fan and knocked on the top of Li Xiaonuan's head, and said hatefully:

"Stinky girl, you slipped away fast last time, see where you are running this time?"

Li Xiaonuan stretched out his hand and opened Cheng Ke's fan, pursed his lips tightly, squinted his eyes and glanced at Cheng Ke, lowered his eyes, and took two steps back.

Zhou Jingran squeezed Cheng Ke, came up, looked Li Xiaonuan up and down with a smile on his face, and gently tapped the folding fan in his hand and sighed:

"Although this little girl is a little flustered, this skin is really good-looking, and she must be a country and a city when she grows up."

As he spoke, he turned around and blamed Cheng Ke,

"Look at you, how can you be so rude to other little girls? This girl is still young, if you have something to say, don't frighten people. ”

Cheng Ke pushed Zhou Jingran away and said impatiently:

"You don't know, this stinky girl ......"

Cheng Ke suddenly paused back to the words, a trace of shame flashed on his face, gritted his teeth and muffled "hum", and then said:

"Last year, I accompanied my father and mother to the Gospel Temple to worship Lord Begu, and I saw that this stinky girl dared to steal the tribute in front of the Buddha to eat...... Busy, I didn't pay attention to let her run, I thought it was the lower part of the palace, I thought I would go back and punish her again, who knew that I came back and rummaged through the palace, and I didn't find this stinky girl, it turned out that this stinky girl was a descendant of the ancient mansion"

Li Xiaonuan hung his head, staring closely at the feet of Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran, picking the lotus canopy with both hands, listening carefully to the conversation between the two, the other person must be that Zhou Gongzi, he actually said that she was meowing? He didn't mention that she beat him, well, this face, he couldn't afford to lose his subordinates, he thought she was a subordinate of the ancient mansion, she was a subordinate Li Xiaonuan was overjoyed, and his mind turned quickly.

Zhou Jingran's eyes widened in surprise, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, raised his eyebrows and smiled,

"Sure enough, it's a glutton, last time I stole tribute, this time I stole the lotus pod"

Li Xiaonuan seemed to be extremely timid and shrunk his shoulders, and moved back, Zhou Jingran squeezed to the front, lifted Li Xiaonuan's chin with a fan, bent down slightly, smiled all over his face, and asked extremely kindly:

"Don't be afraid of him, there is Ben Gongzi who is the master for you, tell me, what is your name?"

Li Xiaonuan's eyes swept over Zhou Jingran in a daze, and he hurriedly and timidly lowered his eyes, and while quickly turning his mind, he stammered and said vaguely while his breath was unstable:

"Red ...... Hongfu ......"

Cheng Ke stretched out a fan and knocked on Li Xiaonuan's head, his brows twisted into one place, and he reprimanded sharply:

"What did the master ask you about, didn't the grandmothers teach you how to reply?"

Zhou Jingran stretched out his hand to block Cheng Ke's fan and protected Li Xiaonuan behind him, Li Xiaonuan shrank his shoulders, stepped back again, and sobbed timidly intermittently, Zhou Jingran looked at Li Xiaonuan with pity in his eyes, turned around, pushed Cheng Ke, and said:

"Okay, look, this girl is about to be frightened by you, you stand back, let me ask her properly."

Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, glanced at Zhou Jingran, squeezed half a step forward, and stood side by side with Zhou Jingran in front of Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan timidly took another half step back, Zhou Jingran turned his head, looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile on his face, and asked gently:

"Your name is Hongfu? Hongfu Qitianfu? ”

Li Xiaonuan kept shaking her head timidly,

"No...... No...... Know. ”

Cheng Ke glanced at Zhou Jingran, and sneered:

"A little girl, she doesn't know a single big character, do you still learn to be rich and five cars? Still blessed? ”

Zhou Jingran ignored him, lowered his head and looked at Li Xiaonuan gently, and then asked:

"Where are you on an errand? How old is this year? ”

"Kitchen...... Kitchen, six ...... Seven...... Eight years old. ”

Li Xiaonuan seemed to subconsciously snap his fingers and said in a whisper, Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows, and Zhou Jingran laughed,

"How old are you?"

Li Xiaonuan hung her head, kept shaking her head, and said with a crying voice:

"Mama didn't ...... Didn't teach me"

Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows, stomped his feet hatefully, and couldn't cry or laugh, Zhou Jingran clapped his palms with a fan, leaned back and closed his laughter, laughed for a long time, and then couldn't help but smile and then asked:

"And what are you doing in the kitchen?"

"Burn...... Fire. ”

"What are you doing with this lotus pod?"

"Delicious"

Cheng Ke stared at the lotus pod in Li Xiaonuan's hand, suddenly reached out and grabbed it, and threw it into the lake, Zhou Jingran raised his hand and stroked his forehead, shook his head and laughed again, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke while laughing and said:

"This girl, so cute, it's really interesting, it's a pity to be a fire girl, this girl I'm going to ask Mrs. Li for the night, take it back and put it in the study to grind ink and hold the inkstone, it's also interesting, and I grew up in a few years......"

Zhou Jingran turned his head, squinted his eyes and looked Li Xiaonuan up and down, and said with a smile:

"Such a beauty billet is used to warm the bed, this glamorous blessing is rare"

Cheng Ke's face became gloomy, he turned his head and squinted at Zhou Jingran, and said coldly:

"I saw this girl first, if you want to hold the inkstone, you also go to the palace study to hold the inkstone, and if you want to warm the bed, you have to warm the bed in my Qingjian Courtyard to get you? Hmph"

Zhou Jingran raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and said with a smile:

"Okay, if you really want it, I'll give it to you, but if you want it, you have to take pity on it, and if you are impatient, give it to me."

Cheng Ke ignored him, turned his head, looked at Li Xiaonuan condescendingly, and ordered:

"You go back and pack up, tomorrow morning with the master back to the capital, with the master, if you dare to steal again, the master will break your claws"

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly put his hands behind his back, kept shaking his head, dodged back timidly, biting his lip, and wanted to kick the two of them into the lake

Cheng Ke glanced at Li Xiaonuan condescendingly, snorted coldly, turned around and pushed Zhou Jingran, walked along the lakeside path, and strode towards the corner door by the library.

Li Xiaonuan continued to sob, timid, swept the two of them out of the corner of his eyes, and watched the two of them turn around the wisteria from a distance, and they couldn't see it, so they took a hateful "bah", thought about it, and didn't wait for Lan Chu anymore, turned around and ran wildly in the direction of the big kitchen, and went back to Songfeng Courtyard in a big circle.

Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran went out of the corner door and returned to the study building, Zhou Jingran squinted at Cheng Ke with a smile,

"That old lady Li is a very shrewd lord, you want such a stupid and beautiful girl with her, I'm afraid that she will immediately think that you are for beauty, maybe she will have to teach you a few words, and then dismiss you, hehe."

Zhou Jingran gloated and laughed, Cheng Ke glanced at him,

"The one who lit the fire in your small kitchen in Jingyuan Pavilion is a man or a woman? Girl or mother-in-law? ”

Zhou Jingran choked, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and coughed lightly, Cheng Ke looked at him and suddenly laughed proudly,

"But you reminded me, this person, must be asked for tomorrow morning before departure, if you open your mouth tonight, a shrewd person like Mrs. Li will definitely ask that girl to go over and take a look, this glance, maybe you will get what you said, tomorrow morning, before you leave."

Cheng Ke laughed proudly, Zhou Jingran raised his eyebrows, looked at Cheng Ke thoughtfully, and asked slowly:

"That girl, you just saw it stealing food?"

Cheng Ke's face turned red, shaking the fan and not answering, Zhou Jingran smiled, stared at Cheng Ke tightly and asked:

"Seeing that you are annoyed like that, you must have suffered a big loss, what loss can that girl make you suffer? I'll hear it. ”

Cheng Ke stood up violently and stared at Zhou Jingran angrily,

"That stinky girl can still make me suffer? Hmph"

As he spoke, he turned around and walked downstairs, and shook off as he went,

"I'll go back and rest"

Zhou Jingran shook his head and laughed, stood up lazily, and followed him downstairs.

Li Xiaonuan returned to Songfeng Courtyard, sat on the east couch uncertainly, tried to stabilize himself, sat upright and looked down at the book, the words on the book kept beating, jumping Li Xiaonuan was dizzy, simply threw the book aside, jumped off the bed, twisted his hand and walked to the eaves corridor.

What the hell is going on? Didn't Gu Xiao say that they left early this morning? Didn't the whole family go to the front yard to see them off? How could the two people who were going to be sent away suddenly appear in the garden? What the hell is going on? Have you been sold?

Li Xiaonuan only felt that the blood in his whole body was surging to his head, the blood vessels on his head were throbbing suddenly, his eyes were full of gold stars, and he became dizzy.

Lan Chu quietly stood behind Li Xiaonuan, looked at her worriedly, thought about it, turned around and went in, made a cup of tea, brought it out on a tray, and said carefully:

"Girl, let's have a cup of tea and moisten your throat."

Li Xiaonuan pressed his mind, slowly sat on the corridor chair with the help of the corridor pillar, reached out to take the cup, and drank tea with an expressionless bowed head.

Calm down first, don't think about the worst, something must have happened

Li Xiaonuan squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Lan Chu and commanded in a low voice:

"When you go to the kitchen, ask what you have to eat at noon, and inquire about what happened in the outer courtyard, and the family has gathered in the outer courtyard, there must be something very important, go and come back quickly."

Lan Chu's eyes became solemn, he nodded hurriedly, put the tray back into the house, and hurried out of the yard.

Li Xiaonuan was full of anxiety, and sat quietly under the verandah, waiting for Lan Chu to come back.
