Chapter 225: Unresolved
I have been in the Shao family's mansion for many days, and the hostess finally appeared!
Although I had never seen her, whether it was mentioned by others or what I heard, I was full of curiosity about this current lady of the Shao family.
She also deliberately asked Yun Chu to meet him.
The information that Yun Chu revealed to me was to inquire about Shao Si's homework.
In the garden, waiting to see her form really scared me!
As a woman who has raised such a big son, she must be too young.
Rong has a long face, a pair of phoenix eyes looking forward to Shenfei, and when she is swept by her eyes, my heart trembles as a girl.
A trace of doubt flashed through my mind, how could this woman's appearance be somewhat familiar, I could not have seen her beforehand, which person in my memory left me with an impression that overlapped with her?
It's just that now, I have one of the biggest doubts that suppresses this hint of déjà vu that comes to mind, and I imagine that she shouldn't be like this.
Since she is so charming and moving, what should be the explanation of the enchanting medicine in the mandala?
Does she need to use such a trick to stabilize her position in the Shao family?
The most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the southwest is Xu Xiaochan, but compared to her, Mrs. Shao's appearance is not inferior to her!
I watched her graceful figure like a twenty-eight beauty walking towards us step by step, with a strong dress, and there was a trace of nervousness for no reason.
By the way, what am I nervous about?
At the critical moment, you have to remember that your own setting is not.
I looked away, and Lilac was already reflexively saluting her.
Mrs. Shao frowned, looked at Lilac and said, "Why isn't Xiao Si in the room today?" ”
"I've also been to the study, but I'm not there."
"Back to Madame's words, the fourth young master went to the courtyard where Mr. Chu lived to ask him, saying that he had some doubts about his schoolwork." Lilac replied like a stream, without a trace of stumbling.
"This Mr. Chu. It's magical. Mrs. Shao pursed her lips and smiled, her beautiful eyes looked at Lilac: "Xiao Si's violent temperament is actually taught to be obedient when he arrives in his hands." From this point of view, his success is just around the corner. ”
What does she mean?
I don't think this sentence sounds a little weird to me. said that it was a compliment to the little four, but it didn't seem to be exactly.
Her eyes flashed, and she turned her head and took a step closer to me and said, "This girl looks a little dumb and can't speak?" ”
Lilac hurriedly said: "She is very obedient, she doesn't make trouble, except that she likes to eat something delicious, there is nothing else"
"Delicious?" Mrs. Shao looked at me intently for a few seconds and said with a smile. "Lilac, you took her to the big kitchen, the car I bought in Yizhou City today is back, not only is there delicious food. And there's fun to play. “
"It's not easy for Mr. Chu to take this girl." "I heard that this time, the purchasing steward got a few birds with plumage in Yizhou City, so you can take this girl to choose one."
If it weren't for the fact that I had heard Shao Si say it before, the timing would not be right at all. I almost thought that these two people had a good idea.
Why did Shao Si on the front foot say that I went up to the tree to dig out the bird's nest, and went to Yizhou City to ask someone to buy one for me another day, and his mother on the back foot said such a thing.
What a coincidence!
Mrs. Shao was right, in the evening, a carriage returning from shopping in Yizhou City hurriedly drove into the side door.
A man got out of the car carrying several delicate birdcages.
The large kitchen unloaded a large pile of food purchased in the city of Yizhou. Clothing and the like, full of several cages.
I heard Lilac talk about it, only to find out that the Shao family's mansion almost every three or five days has such a carriage to Yizhou City, no wonder a few days ago he said that he was going to buy paper and pencils, and Shao Si agreed to it.
In this era, there is still a huge difference between men and women, and men just have more opportunities to walk outside, even if it is just a small housekeeper, and the degree of freedom is not a little worse than the maids in the yard.
I looked at the green-haired parrot in the cage staring at me. "Fool!" I blurted out. "Fool!" The parrot said to me, and the intonation of the voice was learned vividly.
I sighed.
The green-haired parrot sighed as well.
Lilac laughed and bent over.
Lilac said lightly at this time: "When I met Mrs. before, my heart was still hanging, but fortunately, nothing happened?" “
What could happen? I glanced at Lilac in surprise.
On the way back, Lilac whispered to me: "The fourth young master was actually not born by Madame. “
I frowned.
Earlier they sent me and Lilac to the big kitchen, and I thought that the lady of the Shao family would definitely come to the courtyard where we lived.
When Lilac and I walked back to the small courtyard along the road, it was unexpectedly deserted, and when we calculated the time, it was only half an hour that had passed.
Mrs. Shao didn't come?
My face changed, and I walked quickly to the room where Yun Chu lived, leaving Lilac to carry the green-haired parrot cage for me.
Yun Chu was sitting alone on the edge of the desk writing something quickly, and from my point of view, I was a little surprised.
He looked up at me, but he didn't put down his pen, he whispered to me.
"What are you writing about?"
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, and said with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't have to hide it from you, this is to prepare a letter to be sent to the bottom of the mountain." ”
"When did you have a friend in Yizhou City?" I couldn't resist asking again.
"Speaking of which, it's not a friend, but it has something to do with you." Yun Chu's tone sounded calm and self-contained.
I was stunned for something to do with me, and then reacted, and lowered my voice a little bit: "It's Snow Eagle?" ”
"Yes, this is the letter to him."
I had a few questions in a row.
"How are you going to deliver it? Is it safe? Is there a good candidate? ”
"Shao Si entrusted me with the help of Xueying, this letter is to mention some strategies I wrote down in the City Lord's Mansion to govern the southwest region, which were entrusted to my subordinates at that time, and he went back to the mansion to connect with that person." "It's kind of a reward for his help."
Yun Chu's faint words not only did not solve my doubts, but the mystery in my heart was even worse.
"You're weird. This kind of thing, when the Shao family is done understanding it, you can meet with Xueying and then hand it over to him personally. Why send someone to this trip now? ”
"The person you said was also a person under Shao Si. Is it reliable?"
"Since he entrusted me with an errand, how could he not even deliver a letter safely."
I was silent for a while, and then I realized that "In this way, you have been prepared as early as when you practiced medicine in the City Lord's Mansion, and you have always had a plan in your heart. ”
"Yun Chu, what are you planning on this trip to the Shao family?" I couldn't help but say after all. "I guess you must have a reason to come, but even if my senior brother arranged a group of people for me in the southwest."
"From beginning to end, I haven't received any news about the secrets of the Shao family."
"That means your intelligence network has far deeper tentacles than his, but you're by my side most of the time. Not to mention treating the injured day and night during the earthquake, even if you arrive in Yizhou City, you also have the role of teaching Shao Si in the Shao family, where do you have the time and energy to do those extra things? ”
"Unless there's a possibility, you're long before you come to the Southwest. I have already planned this trip to the Shao family. ”
"Yun Chu, what is there in the Shao family that is worth the risk you have to take a trip?"
"Don't sue me, I just got clues and came to investigate that unsolved case."
Yun Chu smiled: "It's good again!" ”
"The answer you want should be tomorrow, why don't you wait patiently."
Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Lilac came to me after hanging the bird cage for me.
There was a knock on the door, Yun Chu took my hand and said softly, "Then you can go and have a look." ”
He pushed open the door and saw Lilac standing outside, and before we could speak, Lilac had already spoken first: "Mr. Chu, is it that Yaya is here to ask you to see the parrot bought in Yizhou City." ”
"yes, you lead the way." Yun Chu glanced at her and pushed the boat down the river.
"Where is it hanging?"
"Under the locust tree in the yard."
It was night, and the crescent moon hung in the dark blue sky.
Yun Chu and I sat in the gazebo in the small courtyard and looked up at the moon.
The autumn wind swayed the shadows of the trees, and my heart was still a little unresolved.
After a while, I whispered to Yun Chu in a daze: "Yun Chu, the time you are waiting for, since it is tomorrow, don't you need to make some preparations before you start?" ”
"It's going to be done, but it's not in the Shao family." He was silent for a few seconds before answering me.
I fixed my mind, staring at Yun Chu with undisguised inquiry in my eyes, and I really wanted to get a clue from his face.
After a while, I reluctantly gave up this idea.
This person has a deep mind and does not leak.
And this person, half of the speech will always be left, I don't want to get the answer I want from his mouth.
I had a hunch in my heart that no matter what I did, he wouldn't leave me behind.
There is no reason for it.
Yun Chu took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, and looked at me for a long time before he smiled: "Do you know that the letter last night was supposed to be to take care of you for me with Xueying, and I also thought about finding a reason to send you to Yizhou City." ”
"But if that's the case, I'm a little worried."
"After thinking about it for a while, I changed my rhetoric."
My eyelashes moved, and I bowed my head and said, "What are you going to do with me, settle your silly sister, and go into danger alone?" "Once this happens, I will never forgive you." I bit my lip and said, "The moment you brought me to the ship in Snow Country, you should have known that I was relying on you. “
Yun Chu chuckled lightly, lowered his voice and said, "It's really a scoundrel." ”
His tone sounded like he was in a good mood.
"Yun Chu, the Shao family's confused account, I don't have any big requirements, but you know, I took in Shao Wenzong and Fang Jinhua in Qibei."
After I pondered for a moment, I raised my head and said to Yun Chu: "I have a promise with Sister Fang, if I can do it, I will definitely let them return to the southwest with dignity." "What you promised Shao Si, as long as it doesn't hinder it, you can do it to your heart's content."
