Chapter Ninety-Seven: Accidents

Fat chapter, ask for pink.

**

Mrs. Liu was sitting on the couch, looking at the new forehead embroidered by the girl Peony. This forehead is a dark blue background, with yellow silk threads embroidered with a pattern of swastika heads, and an oval topaz is inlaid in the center of the forehead. Mrs. Liu seemed to like it very much, and looked at it over and over again with her forehead.

"This girl's needlework is getting better and better." Mrs. Liu praised the peony medicine.

After some time ago, Mrs. Liu intended to give the peony to the second master Liu to be the person in the house, and the peony coped with it very well, and did not annoy Mrs. Liu because of this, but made Mrs. Liu feel that she was more intimate than other girls, and she was not selfish, so Mrs. Liu became more and more fond of the peony. Only occasionally remembered that one day, Peony would eventually leave her side, and such a good girl could not be given to any son, Mrs. Liu still felt a little pity.

Seeing that the second old man Liu's family of three was coming, Mrs. Liu asked them to sit down in front of the couch.

Peony saluted, and then retreated, leaving only the other girls to come and serve. After all, although the matter is not said, Peony still has to avoid suspicion. But whenever the second master Liu comes, the peony will always avoid it when it can. No one annoyed her with her behavior/things, but everyone thought this girl was respectable and cute. Liu Ruoxi also thinks that Peony is a really smart girl.

Although he avoided suspicion with Second Master Liu, after that incident, Peony treated Second Mrs. Liu and her a little differently than before. There is nothing on the face, but if there is anything on Mrs. Liu's side, Peony will always think of a way to pass on the news.

For Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi, this is really an unexpected good thing.

Second Master Liu sat down. I told Mrs. Liu that Mrs. Liu was going to take Liu Ruoxi to Zhuangzi.

“…… The wheat harvest is about to be harvested, and there is something going on in Zhuangzi recently. Gotta see for yourself. Second Master Liu told Mrs. Liu.

"Are you going with you?" Mrs. Liu asked Second Master Liu.

Second Master Liu thought about it and shook his head.

"The matter of the Hanlin Academy. I can't leave these days. "Second Master Liu originally wanted to accompany Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi, but they were really inseparable.

"Oh." When Mrs. Liu heard that Second Master Liu was not going, she didn't pay much attention to it, "Then let's go." Planning to go for a few days? ”

This is to ask Mrs. Liu.

“…… It's done, and I'll be back as soon as possible, but it's only a day's work. Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "Wait a few days, the weather will be hot, and I want to invite the old lady to live in Zhuangzi for a few days." Beat the heat. ”

"I'm old, and I'm too lazy to change." Mrs. Liu said.

Every winter and summer, Mrs. Liu would come to invite Mrs. Liu to her Zhuangzi to cool off in the summer and go to the hot springs in Wolf Mountain in the winter. However, Mrs. Liu never agreed.

As she spoke, the little girl outside came in to report that the begonias were coming. When Mrs. Liu heard this, she nodded.

"Let her in."

Mrs. Liu commanded. A little girl opened the curtain, and Begonia wore a pale green dress and walked in with Chan'er in one hand. Haitang took Chan'er and asked Mrs. Liu to say goodbye first. came over again to salute Second Master Liu, Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi.

Second Master Liu stood up, said a word to Mrs. Liu, and left to find Master Liu.

Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi did not leave immediately. Still sitting, gossiping with Mrs. Liu.

Begonia is no longer the embarrassed appearance when Liu Ruoxi saw her. Just look at the black hair and slender figure, you can see that she is a beauty. Just one of her faces. still made Liu Ruoxi a little disappointed. Liu Ruoxi listened to the little girl below chewing her tongue, saying that Lord Liu used the ointment for the begonias that only the nobles in the palace could use, and it took one or two gold to buy a small bottle, which was made of extremely precious medicinal materials, including the best jade.

Begonia used this ointment, and the wound on her face has been much better, no longer swollen/swollen, but it is still slightly red, and the scar has not faded, so you can't see your original face.

Haitang was very attentive and careful in front of Mrs. Liu, and asked Chan'er to get close to Liu Ruoxi.

Liu Ruochan saw the golden lock on Liu Ruochan's chest at a glance, and couldn't help but hold it up and look at it carefully. The appearance of this longevity lock is indeed different from the ordinary lock, with a begonia flower depicted on it, and the back is Liu Ruochan's birthday. Liu Ruoji saw it, so she let Mrs. Liu Er. watch it.

What Haitang said at the time about this longevity lock seems to be the truth. I just don't know how this lock came back into their hands.

Liu Ruoyuan pondered like this, and recalled Liu Ruoyuan's depressed and somewhat indignant expression. There is no need to ask, it must be Master Liu who wants to come back from Mrs. Liu. At that time, Mrs. Liu's words also revealed that Liu Ruoyuan secretly did bad things, and Master Liu must have reprimanded Liu Ruoyuan. Otherwise, Liu Ruoyuan would not have been so honest in the past two days.

Mrs. Liu was just general about Begonia, but she beckoned the little girl to bring a snack for Liu Ruochan to eat.

"Thank you, grandmother." Haitang taught Liu Ruochan.

"Thank you, grandmother." Liu Ruochan seems to be very well-behaved, she speaks milkily, long and full of likability, looking at Mrs. Liu's appearance, she still likes this little girl a little.

Because she has no official identity, Begonia usually only stays in her own small yard, and then she comes to Mrs. Liu. Let Liu Ruochan get close to Mrs. Liu, and she will be like a girl, doing needlework for Mrs. Liu and serving Mrs. Liu. Begonia doesn't say much, looking gentle and submissive. Liu Ruoxi thought that in time, Mrs. Liu would probably look at Begonia differently. Therefore, Mrs. Liu eats this set the most.

Begonias can have so many, is it out of nature, or is it the point of Master Liu. After all, Master Liu can't be at home all the time, and only Mrs. Liu can shelter Begonia and Liu Ruochan.

Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi sat in Mrs. Liu's room for a while before saying goodbye. No one said anything, so Haitang hurriedly pulled Liu Ruochan and sent it out.

This delivery was delivered to the gate of Mrs. Liu's courtyard.

“…… It was the three girls who saved the lives of slaves and Chan'er. Nu and Chan'er will never forget the saving grace of the third girl, "while no one is paying attention around." Haitang saluted Liu Ruoxi, "The slave status is not embarrassing." It's not good to come to the door to say hello to the third girl and the second wife. The kindness of the wife and the girl, the slave and Chan'er are all in their hearts. ”

Haitang asked Chan'er to salute Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi.

Liu Ruoxi understood. Master Liu asked Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu to settle down for Begonia, and he should have told Haitang.

"It's just a coincidence." Liu Ruoxi said, glancing at Chan'er, "If there is any shortage in Chan'er, just send someone to me." ”

When Mrs. Liu raised her eyes, she saw Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan coming over.

"Go back and serve the old lady." Mrs. Liu said to Haitang.

Haitang also saw Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan, and hurriedly took Chan'er back to Mrs. Liu's house.

Liu Ruoyuan's face was very ugly, but Liu Ruojuan was not abnormal, she still looked a little woody. Two of them came over. all saluted Mrs. Liu.

"Who did you see my aunt talking to just now?" Liu Ruoyuan asked, with a clear sense of reproach in her tone.

"The big sister's face is not good-looking, she is sick. If you are really sick, your eyes will look wrong, and you will not be able to speak. It's better to ask the doctor to come and see it earlier, don't become a major symptom! Liu Ruoyuan was not happy, and said to Liu Ruoyuan lightly.

"You ......" Liu Ruoyuan was counted down by Liu Ruoyuan, her face was red, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"The old lady is in the house. Go ahead. Second Mrs. Liu didn't bother with Liu Ruoyuan, just said a word, and took Liu Ruoyuan away.

Back in the house, Second Master Liu had already come back first.

"I told my eldest brother. The eldest brother is very grateful. Second Master Liu told Second Mrs. Liu, "He also said that if he is useful, let us just open our mouths." ”

"I'm going to put my heart into it." Mrs. Liu nodded.

Early the next morning. After breakfast, Liu Ruoxi cleaned up. brought Mama Chang, Layue, June, and the fifth and seventh days of the first month, and resigned from Mrs. Liu with Mrs. Liu. I left Liufu in a car, went out of the north gate of the capital, and went outside the city.

The Zhuangzi of Qingxi where they are going is in the north of the capital, about sixty or seventy miles away from the city, and it is one of the big Zhuangzi under the name of Mrs. Liu's second wife, which is far away from the capital. The group came out early, and there were not many pedestrians on the official road.

Liu Ruoxi sat in the car with Mrs. Liu, occasionally lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside, and only felt relaxed and happy.

"I've been bored at home for a long time, and I'm so happy when I see it and come out." Second Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Ruoxi and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Isn't my mother happy?" Liu Ruoxi also smiled, "If my father is free today, it would be better to come out with us." ”

came out to see the scenery of the countryside, and stayed away from the rights and wrongs of the house, and there was no reason to be unhappy with whoever it was. This line is full of their people, and when they get to Zhuangzi, it is the private property of Mrs. Liu, and it is Liu Ruoxi's paradise, which is much more relaxed than in Liufu.

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Ruoxi, Liu Ruoxi combed her double-ring bun today, only wore two red gold Buddha's hand hairpins on her head, her hair bun was decorated with bean-sized Dongzhu, and her ears were hung with two Dongzhu pendants the size of a fingernail, accompanied by a goose-yellow butterfly dress wearing flowers, which lined her skin with snow and picturesque eyebrows, but it was a few points better than when she was her age.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be very emotional.

"Seeing you're so big!" Mrs. Liu sighed, one was happy, and the other was a little worried. I am happy that my daughter has grown up, not only looks thoughtful, but also smart and polite, and is very filial. The worry is that the girl is old and can't stay by her side all the time. This matter is also both joyful and worrying.

Liu Ruoxi glanced at Mrs. Liu, then thought of something else, and hurriedly leaned into Mrs. Liu's arms.

"My mother is young, too. I've seen so many wives and grandmothers, and none of them are as good-looking as their mothers. I still remember that when I was a child, my father once told my mother that the statue of Guanyin at that temple fair seemed to be painted by my mother. ”

As soon as Liu Ruoxi said this, the sorrow of Second Mrs. Liu immediately disappeared.

"It's sweet in your mouth. It's been a long time, but you still remember it clearly at your young age. ”

The two of them were talking and laughing in the car, and when they got out of the carriage, they suddenly jolted violently. Liu Ruoxi and Mrs. Liu sat in the car, and they both shook a little, and the two of them helped each other.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ruoxi hurriedly asked.

With Liu Ruoxi's words. I heard a noise outside, and the carriage came to a complete stop.

"The horse is sick!" Liu Ruoxi could hear a small servant outside say.

A moment of work. The girls and mothers-in-law who followed them hurriedly caught up. Mama Chang and the rich daughter-in-law lifted the curtain and prepared to dismount. Please ask Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi to get out of the car. It turned out that the horse pulling the cart suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell, but thanks to the rich and experienced charioteer, who controlled the carriage, and the people who followed him stepped forward to help, the cart did not overturn.

Seeing that the horse would not get better for a while, the car could not be sitting, so the people who followed came up and asked Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi to get off first. Make sense again.

Fortunately, there were few pedestrians on the road, and Liu Ruoxi and Mrs. Liu Er were surrounded by everyone and walked a few steps forward, and sure enough, they saw a horse pulling the cart lying on the road.

Second Mrs. Liu pulled Liu Ruoxi, and she was a little afraid.

"This is thanks to the official road, if you go to the countryside for a while, the mountains are high and the water is low, it is not easy to get along!" Mrs. Liu was shocked, thanks to the smooth and spacious road, if you change places. The horse suddenly reversed, the car overturned into the water or down the hillside, and Liu Ruoji was injured with her. Or, the injury is a small thing. Mrs. Liu didn't dare to think about it. His face was also rarely stern, "When you came out, why didn't you look good?" What's going on? ”

Fugui hurried over and knelt down.

“…… It was fine last night. When I came out in the morning, I looked at it carefully, and it was fine. …… It's the minions that deserve to die. "The rich are busy pleading for sin.

Liu Ruoxi shook the hand of Mrs. Liu. Let Mrs. Liu Er calm down first.

"Mother, Fugui has always been a safe person. Over the years, nothing has ever gone wrong. This time, it was an accident. "This carriage is exclusively for Mrs. Liu, and Fugui has always taken care of it very well. However, the horses that pull the cart are kept in the stable together with other horses in the house, and they are usually fed by special people. Fugui is a very conscientious coachman, and whenever he has free time, he will go to the stable and take care of the horse himself.

"Can you see what's going on?" Liu Ruoxi asked about wealth.

Fugui shook his head, already sweating in a hurry. He couldn't see it, he had never seen a horse like this.

“…… Or maybe you have eaten something. This is the only guess Fugui can make.

The horses can't be used, but they can't just stop here.

"Check the car again, and if the car is fine, replace the animals pulled behind. This horse, a well-arranged person, looks at where there is a house nearby, it is best to cure it, even if it can't, you have to figure out, what is going on? After eating something, you have to find out what you ate and how you ate it? Liu Ruoxi thought about it and ordered.

Fugui hurriedly agreed, so he carefully checked the carriage up and down, and there was no problem with the carriage. However, wealth is a bit difficult.

"Girl, the cattle in the back cars can't pull this car."

They came out today, in addition to the car that Liu Ruoxi and Mrs. Liu Er's wife were in, and then there were the girls and daughters-in-law who followed, and they took two other cars. However, those two cars naturally cannot be compared with Mrs. Liu's car, and the animal pulling the cart is not a horse-like horse.

It's impossible to let Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi go to sit in the pony carriage where people are sitting! The car is not as comfortable as Mrs. Liu's car, and if you want to go to the countryside, I am afraid that Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi will not be able to stand the bumps.

"Then send someone to look around, and you can always find a suitable horse......"

As he was talking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, getting closer and closer.

Liu Ruoxi raised her head in surprise, and saw that on the official road in the distance, as if a black cloud was pressing down, a team of fast horses was galloping over. Although she didn't really see it, Liu Ruoxi instinctively felt that it was not an ordinary horse team. Because although it was still far away, with the horse team rushing to the face, it was clearly a murderous aura.

Thousands of troops, bloody gas rushed out in the rain of swords and blood.

Everyone was also stunned, and before they had time to react, the team of men and horses had already arrived in front of them, seeing that they were about to step on the head of the lying horse and rush straight over. But the man on the horse pulled the reins, and the coal-like horse raised its front hooves and stopped.

Liu Ruoxi didn't seem to see the jujube red horse of the divine horse, and everything in heaven and earth seemed to be pulled away from her in front of her in an instant, leaving only ...... The one right away! (To be continued......)
