Chapter 18: Homecoming

Someone came outside, Liu Ruoxi sent Qingmei to take a look, and Qingmei came back after a while and said that the Li family sent her eldest maid Honglian to inform: "If they are all ready, go to the hall to round, they are all ready." ”

Liu Ruoxi came to the hall with Qingmei and saw that Liu Sewu, Li Shi, and Liu Xiyue were already waiting for them.

Li Shi stepped forward and took Liu Ruoxi's hand and said apologetically: "Can you go down the mountain now?" I originally wanted you to rest for an extra day, but I was afraid that it would be too late for your grandmother to worry, so I wanted to go back early. ”

"I'm fine, aunt, why haven't the eldest brother and second brother come yet?" Liu Ruoxi looked around and found that he didn't see Liu Zhuoxuan and Liu Wenxuan.

"The second brother said that there was something wrong and had already gone down the mountain, and the eldest brother went to bid farewell to the abbot, and it is estimated that he will come back in a while. Liu Sewu looked in the direction of Liu Zhuoxuan and said with a smile: "Look, Cao Cao Cao will arrive."

Liu Zhuoxuan ran to this side. walked up to Li and saluted Li: "Mother, everything is fine, we can go down the mountain." ”

Li nodded: "Let's go." ”

When everyone was about to get on the sedan chair, a voice came from behind: "Wait a minute." It turned out that Qi Chen was running towards this side, shouting as he ran.

"Qi Chen Shizi must have come to find the eldest sister, I said eldest sister, you saw that Qi Chen Shizi thought you were leaving, so he hurried over. Laughing and quipping.

Liu Sewu listened to Liu Xiyue's words, and her face turned red with shame, "What is the second sister talking about? Don't be misunderstood by Qi Chen's son." After speaking, he looked at the direction where Qi Chen Shizi was running.

Qi Chen was still a little out of breath because he ran over, and saluted to the Li family, "Aunt is disturbed, I just heard that you are leaving, and I rushed to see you off, a little rude, I hope that Aunt will not be surprised." ”

Li Shi looked at Qi Chen who was still panting because he was in a hurry, and looked at his daughter's worried expression because she was worried that she would blame him, and couldn't help but smile, "Shizi, you are too outward, I'll go to the sedan chair first, and you can talk." He glanced at Lyuse, and motioned for Lyusee to step forward.

Li got on the sedan chair, Liu Ruoxi glanced at Liu Sewu and Qi Chen, and now he was not sad at all facing him. opened the sedan chair and was about to go up, Qi Chen saw that she was going to get on the sedan chair and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm. Liu Ruoxi looked at Qi Chen's hand holding his arm and looked at Qi Chen suspiciously.

Qi Chen put down his hand embarrassedly, "I heard that you woke up and your throat was uncomfortable, I dragged a friend to bring pears from far away, this is good for your throat." He motioned for Xiao Si to take the basket in his hand and open it, and there was a golden pear in it.

Liu Ruoxi glanced at a pear and glanced at Liu Sewu, she was looking at Qi Chen sadly, she didn't want to have any entanglement with Qi Chen in her life.

"Xie Qi Shizi's kindness, but I'm better now, and I don't need it anymore. But I heard that my sister seems to be a little uncomfortable in her throat, so why don't you give it to my sister. Liu Ruoxi looked at Qi Chen and said lightly.

Qi Chen glanced back at Liu Sewu, who was looking at herself aggrievedly. "You can take this. I'm ready for Miss Liuser's too. Put the things in Liu Ruoxi's arms, and turned to leave.

Liu Ruoxi wanted to say something, but looking at Qi Chen, who turned to leave, he shook his head helplessly. Looking back, Liu Sewu glanced at himself aggrievedly, and turned to get into his sedan chair.

"Some people sometimes just can't tell their status. Liu Xiyue glanced at the pear in Liu Ruoxi's arms, glanced at Liu Ruoxi jealously, and turned around and got into her sedan chair.

Liu Ruoxi looked at the pears in her arms, reluctantly handed the pears to Qingmei, and turned around and got into the sedan chair.

Liu Ruoxi: The same as when they came, went back very smoothly.

Back at Dingguo Mansion, Li instructed them to go back and freshen up before going to greet the old lady.

They all saluted the Li family, said goodbye, and went back to their own garden. Li didn't go back to change his clothes, and hurriedly went to the old lady's Ning Xinyuan to ask for peace.

Liu Ruoxi went back to freshen up briefly, and then went to the old lady's Ning Xinyuan to ask for peace. By the time they arrived at Ning Xinyuan, Liu Sewu, Liu Xiyue and the Li family were already there.

Liu Ruoxi saluted the old lady. The old lady's face was a little ugly, and she looked at Liu Ruoxi worriedly.

"How are you now? Are you uncomfortable there? I'll ask them to go to the doctor, and I'll come and check your pulse in a moment. ”

Liu Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the Li family had already told the old lady about the situation in Huayin Temple, "Back to grandmother, I'm fine." ”

"Well, it's okay. I also heard that Qi Shizi seems to be very good to you. After speaking, the old lady looked at Liu Ruoxi carefully, and unconsciously realized that this granddaughter had grown up, and it was time to get engaged. However, this Qi Shizi is for the sake of Liu Sewu, and hopes that Ruoxi will not have any undue thoughts.

Why did grandmother ask like this? Liu Ruoxi glanced at the people in the house, Liu Sewu lowered her head, the eldest aunt couldn't see anything on her face, Liu Xiyue looked at herself with a joke expression, it turned out that someone had told her grandmother right and wrong.

Liu Ruoxi hurriedly knelt down for the old lady and explained nervously: "Did grandmother say that Qi Shizi gave me pears? Then grandmother must have misunderstood, I didn't know Qi Shizi before, and it is estimated that he will only send me pears for the sake of his sister's face." ”

The old lady kept staring at Liu Ruoxi, looking at her, it didn't look like she was lying, could it be that she was wronged.

"Okay, no, no, what are you kneeling for? I don't know, I think I'm going to do something with you. Motioned to Mama Wang to help Liu Ruoxi up.

The old lady waved her hand, "Come to Grandmother." ”

Liu Ruoxi walked to the old lady's side, and the old lady took Liu Ruoxi's hand, "Don't blame your grandmother, it's just that Qi Shizi is the object of your eldest sister's betroth, if you get too close to him, it will not be good for you." ”

"Well, I know Grandmother is for my good. Liu Ruoxi nodded obediently.

The old lady saw that Liu Ruoxi really listened to her words, and then patted Liu Ruoxi's hand with confidence.

"Mother, they must be tired. Let them all go back to rest. In a few days, I will go to a banquet hosted by Princess Celestia. Li reminded the old lady loudly.

"What kind of banquet, what kind of banquet?" asked Liu Sewu, looking at his mother Li Shi in confusion.

"It's the eldest princess who holds a birthday banquet for her daughter Jiahe County Lord, and the sons of various families will also go at that time, and you should take a good look at each other when you have reached the age of kissing. After speaking, he looked at Liu Sewu, Liu Xiyue and Liu Ruoxi, and saw that they all lowered their heads shyly.

The old lady also smiled and quipped: "Yes, the three girls in our family are all the best, and they will definitely be able to provoke the eyes of the sons." ”

The faces of the three young ladies lowered with shame, and they all turned red.

The old lady and the Li family explained to them some details that needed to be paid attention to in a few days, and then asked them to go back and prepare.

Liu Wenxuan left in advance to investigate Liu Ruoxi's poisoning, and after running for a day, Ruofeng, who had just returned to Jing Yaxuan, came, Liu Wenxuan poured himself a glass of water and glanced at Ruofeng, "Say, has anything happened in the past two days?"

"Back to the master, Miss Liu Ruoxi is fine after you leave, but when you came back, Qi Shizi gave Miss a basket of pears. ”

Qi Chen gave Liu Ruoxi a basket of pears, Liu Wenxuan's face instantly darkened, and he dared to think about my people, "Then did she accept it?"

"Accepted. As soon as the words fell, he heard a "click", and the cup in Liu Wenxuan's hand was pinched into powder by him.

When did the master's kung fu become so powerful, looking at the master who was full of cold air.

Ruofeng hurriedly explained: "That is Qi Shizi who was forcibly stuffed into Miss Liu Ruoxi's arms. After speaking, he wiped the sweat on his head, the master was terrible just now.

Thinking of Liu Ruoxi's reaction to seeing Qi Chen before she fainted, Qi Chen gave her pears again, and she couldn't help but want to be angry. It seems that she is usually too good to her, but now she doesn't ask where she is, but she has a good relationship with others.

"I know, in the future, you just want to protect her safety, and you don't have to report her affairs to me. ”

"Yes, that Jiahe County Lord wants to invite you to her birthday banquet, is the master going?"

The lord of Jiahe, the one who has been chasing after him and saying that he likes him. If you get close to the Lord of Jiahe, then it will be convenient to investigate the previous matter, "Well, I'll go." ”

"The subordinates will go and command. ”
