Chapter 144: The embarrassed Li Zhou
Many days have passed, many things have begun to get on the right track, and the Zhou Wangfu has also begun to be in full swing, preparing a lot of things, soap things, and some other things in the house, Ke'er, Wanrong, Wanshuang, day and night began to be busy, planning how to prepare for this year, how to innovate, several people gathered together to discuss wildly.
Li Zhou didn't have the mood to watch them quarrel wildly, once it came to these rouge gouache things, he found that women would go crazy, even Ke'er was no exception, the disputes continued, each expressing their opinions, they felt that there were not enough people, and desperately pulled the innocent Ximenbei, poor Ximenbei also began to participate in the harm of several women.
"Ke'er, I don't think it's right for you to do this, you look at your soap and it doesn't smell, I don't think it smells, it should be only you who like it, right? Many ladies in Chang'an don't like your faint taste, and besides, the soap in our Chunmanlou is a fine product, so you should forget it, right? ”
Zhao Wanshuang was blunt, accusing Ke'er of being bad, Ke'er was not angry, pouted, and said: "Madam, what you said is not right, we have a lot of this kind of soap in your hands in Chunmanlou, countless, the ones in your hands have been eliminated, and the piece in my hand is the latest, what Chunmanlou does not have, and it is also what those rich people in Chang'an need." ”
Holding the soap in her hand high, with a sassy face, Zhao Wanshuang was unhappy, why? I made this with my own hands, and I was most satisfied, so I retorted, "Really? How did I not know? Ke'er, you can't deceive your wife, I don't understand? ”
Ke'er continued to laugh, pouted and concluded: "Madam, you definitely don't know, because you haven't been to Chunmanlou, every time you call you to go, you say that you are not available, and you are tired of being by the young master's side all day long, these things are all to know, if you don't believe it, you ask the second lady and Qing'er, they all know." ”
Zhao Wanshuang was definitely unwilling, but she still looked at Wanrong and Qing'er beside her, not surprisingly, the two nodded, and even Ximen Bei nodded unexpectedly, it seemed that she liked the soap in Ke'er's hand, and she didn't like the soap in Zhao Wanshuang's hand, Zhao Wanshuang was stunned, and asked weakly: "Is this true?" ”
"Madam, you really don't believe it, no, let's go to Chunmanlou to have a look, you haven't been there anyway, young master, he won't refuse, don't you say, young master." Ke'er looked up at Li Zhou, who had already come to his side, and several people looked at him, Li Zhou smiled, waved his hand, and walked over, pretending not to know anything.
"Aha, what are you talking about? Had such a nice chat. ”
Ke'er gave Li Zhou a roll of his eyes and concentrated on doing his own thing, the other few people had no accidents, they were all white-eyed, Zhao Wanshuang put down the soap in her hand, came up and grabbed Li Zhou's arm, and said coquettishly: "Husband, Ke'er, this girl bullied me, and she started bullying early in the morning, you see, she ignored me, husband." ”
Li Zhou looked at Ke'er, Ke'er made a grimace, her teeth were exposed, Wanrong pursed her lips and smiled, Li Zhou grabbed Wanshuang's hand and said: "You, why bother with Ke'er, she is like this, but what Ke'er said is also ah, you can go shopping with them, and by the way, you can go back to visit Mrs. ”
Zhao Wanshuang nodded, there was no dissatisfaction, Li Zhou's words were expected by her, and she was also a little worried about her mother, and wanted to go back to have a look, her eyes were on Li Zhou, Li Zhou smiled and said: "Okay, I'll accompany you back, and go to Chang'an Street by the way, don't you want to go to see Chunmanlou?" Then drop by. ”
"Yes."
Li Zhou looked at the girls again, and said apologetically: "Today, my wife and I went to visit the old lady in the Zhao Mansion, let you and Qing'er stay at home, if there is anything to find the housekeeper Uncle Liu, he will solve it, Ke'er, go and prepare." ”
Ke'er stood up, went to prepare with a laugh and sighed, nodded gracefully, she still didn't go to this kind of thing, after all, it was not a good thing, and she also knew that Li Zhou was afraid of the old lady, after all, it didn't take long for her to get married, and she married the second lady directly, and it was impossible for anyone to be happy, at this time, she went to hit the muzzle of the gun again, isn't this the birthday boy eating arsenic and looking for death!
"Husband, you go, don't worry about me, Ke'er and I will watch at home, and besides, there is Miss Simon here, you can go with confidence." Wanrong smiled and pushed Li Zhou away, Qing'er was dedicated to making her soap, very attentive, it seemed that she couldn't hear them talking, Ximen Bei's ears were closed, he couldn't hear anything, and Qing'er was alone, holding the soap.
"Well, then my wife and I will leave first, and the family will be handed over to you." Li Zhou gave an apologetic look again, took Zhao Wanshuang's arm and walked to the hall, the neat Ke'er had already prepared what should be prepared immediately, only more, no less, there were many gifts, Wanshuang was frightened, pointed to the gifts on the ground and was shocked, and looked at Li Zhou suspiciously.
Li Zhou pinched her weak little hand, felt very good, and said with a smile: "Your husband has already prepared these, just look at you and don't say go back, your husband is waiting for you to speak, who knows that you still don't speak, that husband can only do it himself and take you back to see." ”
Moved, happy, unable to suppress the emotions in her heart, Wanshuang lay in Li Zhou's arms and cried, tears were like a waterfall falling down, couldn't stop, dragging a long ripple, slowly down, Ke'er watched the two hugging each other, her face was pink, although she was a little shy, her eyes still never left, and she wanted to lie there herself.
After crying for a while, Li Zhou wiped away her tears, held her little hand, and whispered: "Okay, don't cry, crying again will delay time, we still have to visit the old lady, okay, we're leaving, don't cry." ”
Wanshuang's crying slowly stopped, no longer crying, still lying in Li Zhou's arms, refusing to come out, not wanting to be laughed at by Ke'er, Ke'er waited for this moment, Li Zhou smiled, these two little girls, helpless, he could only open his mouth and order: "Okay, we're all leaving, Ke'er, let's go, don't look at it anymore." ”
Li Zhou's words fell, Ke'er began to move, Wanshuang also came out of Li Zhou's arms, helped pack things, and carried them to the carriage, after a while, the preparations were ready, Xiao Wu drove the carriage and left the Zhou Palace, the big box and the small box moved towards the Zhao Mansion, crossed several roads, and arrived smoothly all the way, less than half an hour, arrived at the Zhao Mansion and dismounted.
Li Zhou's heart began to beat wildly, he began to get nervous, his legs were a little weak, and the heroic words just now turned into a faint fear at the moment, after all, he had done something he shouldn't have done, and he didn't know how to face the old lady.
Hearing the news that Li Zhou was coming, the old lady dragged her still sturdy body out to greet her, took her daughter's hand and slowly went in, Li Zhou followed her and walked into the hall, the old lady asked Li Zhou to sit down, Li Zhou was not polite, and found a place to sit down, the old lady held Wanshuang's hand and kept starting to talk homely, and her eyes never looked at Li Zhou.
After nagging for a long time, the old lady finally remembered that there was such a person as Li Zhou, and smiled apologetically: "Let Your Highness see and laugh, when people are old, they love to nag." ”
Li Zhou dared to sit down, so he quickly stood up and said, "The old lady doesn't care, I understand, I understand." ”
The eyes of the two were intertwined intentionally or unintentionally, Li Zhou's arrogance was suddenly extinguished, and he didn't dare to look at the old lady's eyes again, after all, he owed the old lady, what explanation, good words, it was useless, the old lady glanced at her daughter, and Li Zhou's look, although she was old, she was not blind, her daughter was very good, very happy, and smiled more.
Moreover, as soon as Wanshuang met, she kept admonishing, explaining, telling the old lady what happened, as well as Wanrong's identity, and constantly asking her not to be angry, it was all her fault, the old lady glanced at Li Zhou, not angry, but a little more relieved, but her face could not show it.
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time, look at your look, Your Highness has been doing well lately."
Li Zhou's expression changed, and there was something in his words, although he would not say it directly, it was impossible if he was not angry in his heart, Li Zhou bowed down and apologized: "Where did the old lady speak." ”
Whether it's good or not, I can't say it, besides, he is really doing well, Wanshuang pulled the old lady's arm beside the old lady, and was disgusted, the old lady smiled and patted her hand, so that she didn't have to worry, and continued to look at Li Zhoudao: "Your Highness, why do you have time to visit the old man today?" ”
"It is my duty to come and visit the old lady."
Li Zhou was even more respectful and didn't dare to get angry, the old lady looked at Li Zhou with satisfaction, and said quietly: "Your Highness, the old body has heard something about His Highness today, it's extraordinary." ”
It was extraordinary, Li Zhou's sweat kept dripping, and he was so nervous that he could only hide the nervousness in his heart with a smile, and said embarrassedly: "Where is the old lady, His Royal Highness feels very sorry, I'm sorry Wanshuang, I'm sorry." ”
"Hehe, Your Highness doesn't need to be like this, you are Your Highness, and the old body is just a commoner, which is unreasonable." The old lady smiled, and her face kept smiling.
Li Zhou was even more nervous, his throat was dry, and he didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, Wanshuang made a move, holding the old lady's hand, and kept being coquettish, the old lady was helpless by her daughter, and kept smiling dotingly, touching Wanshuang's hand.
"The little girl is naughty, which makes His Highness smile."
Li Zhou hurriedly smiled, hiding the bitterness in his heart, and constantly embarrassed in his heart, the old lady's eyes kept smiling, smiling, as if she was very satisfied with Li Zhou's reaction, and no longer continued to ask Li Zhou, Li Zhou finally exhaled a breath, and stopped torturing him, Wanshuang kept smiling at Li Zhou, a little embarrassed in her smile, and playful.
Li Zhou returned the embarrassed smile and continued to sit there helplessly, waiting anxiously.
