Chapter 20: Coming to Explore
Not to mention what happened to Mrs. Jin after she scolded Mama Jin, she only said that this Liu family was a habitual person who loved to take care of things, so as to show his talent and temperament, he came out of Mrs. Jin's Changxi Courtyard, because he wanted to discuss the details of the nineteenth day with the Li family, he didn't even care about dinner, and hurriedly went to Mulan Xiaozhu.
The people in Mulan Xiaozhu have already eaten.
The maids were tired for a few days because of Li's production, and now they are finally free, and they have received the reward from Master Xie Si, and they can't help but relax their spirits while being happy, and they just sit in one place and gossip about melon seeds. Master Xie Si talked to Li Shi in the room, teasing his son from time to time, and his wife Lin'er was by his side, so naturally he didn't care about these maids. Xie Zhen remembered the tonic soup for Li's family, and only took care of the fire in the small kitchen, although she heard the laughter of the maids in the yard, but because of her soft temperament, she played well with Tan'er in that life, and never despised these maids, so she didn't feel that the maids were lazy at this time, let alone teach a lesson.
When Liu entered the courtyard gate, he saw that the maids were all sitting under the porch and joking, and none of the dozen pairs of eyes saw her, so he was angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to grab them and reward them with an ear scraper. It's just that although she thinks so in her heart, she doesn't show any anger on her face, it turns out that she has always pretended to be virtuous and gentle in front of people.
At that moment, the Liu family not only did not stop them, but waved his hand to let the maids who followed behind him not make a sound, and turned to the porch lightly, standing quietly behind those maids.
The maids didn't notice it, and they still laughed with the interesting stories of the masters and subordinates in the house.
After hearing a few words, Liu Shi sneered in his heart, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "Okay, you little hooves, you don't do anything serious, but you are here to be a storyteller!" ”
The maids were bluffed by this sound and lost three souls and seven souls, their faces were as white as ghosts, and they caressed their chests while looking back.
Seeing that it was the Liu family, the maids all breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them dared to say angrily: "Third lady, you have time to make fun of us, which scared us a lot." ”
Liu covered his lips and smiled: "Where did I get any leisure?" I'm busy every day. It's better for you to be idle. ”
Hearing her say this, the maids realized that they had no form in the end, and hurriedly smiled and said a few flattering words such as "those who can work harder", and respectfully invited Liu into the house.
The maid lifted the curtain, and the Liu family went directly into the inner room, and happened to meet with the fourth master Xie who heard the notice and wanted to avoid the study.
"Third sister-in-law." Fourth Master Xie hurriedly bowed his hand.
Liu's gaze turned to the young brother-in-law, and said with a smile: "It's all my own family, and there is no one else, why should the fourth brother be polite?" If there's something to do, hurry up! ”
Fourth Master Xie said yes, but his tone was still polite, "I have heard about the nineteen banquet guests. I shouldn't have bothered the third sister-in-law, but I'm a rough person who doesn't understand this, and now Le Yao is lying on the bed again, thinking about it, this matter can only be entrusted to the third sister-in-law. I also asked the third sister-in-law to arrange it for us, and the third sister-in-law didn't have to worry about the money, just buy everything you need, and it will all be recorded in my account, and I will invite the third brother to drink another day. ”
Liu Shi said angrily: "You don't have to be polite and don't be polite, you forget when you hear it, it's all a family, what are you doing so politely?" If you continue to do this, I will be so annoyed that I will just throw away my hand and leave your business alone. ”
Master Xie Si has a chic temperament, and he has the most hidden things in his heart, although he has heard of the gentleness and peace of this sister-in-law in the past, he has never remembered it in his heart. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name.
It's just that his mouth is like a clever tongue when he coaxes the Li family, and when he comes to other women, he is like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and he can't say anything else except polite words, where can he parry the Liu family? At the moment, he was still thanking him again and again, and he didn't wait for the Liu family to rob him again, so he hurriedly went out.
Liu Shi flicked the handkerchief to hide a few chuckles from his mouth, and when he saw that he was far away, he turned around and staggered to the front of Li Shi's bed.
"Le Yao, are you better?" She said with concern, and reached out to tuck the brocade quilt covering Li's body.
"It's better. The annoying third sister-in-law is hanging. Li Shi smiled.
Hearing this, Liu raised his eyebrows, glared at her and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said?" I am in charge of the house now, which one of the family I don't care about anymore? Only the two of you are so polite. ”
Since the Li family entered the door, the number of times they have been out of Mulan Xiaozhu can be counted with only one slap, and they have only met three times with the Liu family, and they have never spoken like this. At this time, seeing Liu's style of speaking, he felt that Liu's was a very enthusiastic person, and he couldn't help but have a little good impression in his heart, so he only smiled and begged Liu's not to be annoyed.
The Liu family pretended not to comply, and only waited for the Li family to ask again and again, before reaching out and pinching the Li family's cheek, smiled and relieved his anger, and looked left and right, and asked, "Why is the little young master missing." ”
Li Shi said: "I fell asleep." ”
Liu Shi let out an "oh" and said, "What about Xiaoliu?" ”
When Li Shi thought of his daughter, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he only smiled and said, "I think I'm being stubborn outside!" ”
Liu's eyes rolled and said, "I just came in from outside, and I only saw a few maids playing together, but I didn't see Xiaoliu!" ”
She was telling the Li maids about being lazy, and wanted the Li family to teach them a good lesson. It's just that Li Shi was worried about his daughter at this time, and where could he listen to her words, he just nodded vaguely and said "um" to perfunctory her.
Seeing this, Liu also felt bored, and thought: The left and right are just the maids in your fourth room, so she is too lazy to care. Thinking that the time was late, he hurriedly explained his intentions, and put forward a few points about the taboos and procedures on the 19th day to explain to Li Shi in detail.
Li Shi responded one by one.
When Xie Hao came in with the soup cup, she saw her mother leaning on the bed and talking to a woman.
Who is it? She frowned, and took advantage of the time to place the tea tray and carefully examine the visitor.
I saw that the people who came were gorgeously dressed, especially a phoenix hairpin between the buns was particularly exquisite.
Xie Zhen immediately knew who the person in front of him was.
It was originally the mother of her third brother Xie Yu, the wife of Xie San's master Xie Zhen, and the third lady in Xie's mansion - Liu's family.
In that life, the Liu family's favorite was Fengchai. Xie Zhen consciously guessed well, and tried to recall the ending of the Liu family in that life.
In that life, the relationship between the Liu family and the third brother was very tense, and she didn't like the Liu family very much because of the third brother, so she didn't care much about the news about the Liu family, and only vaguely remembered that the Liu family seemed to have died of illness when she was eight years old, and the third brother was also seriously ill for this reason, and almost didn't go with the Liu family. It's a pity that she was young at the time and didn't carefully ask Liu what kind of disease he had.
Eight-year-old ...... Isn't it next year......
Xie Hao stared at Liu Shi with burning eyes.
The cheeks are rosy, the eyes are bright, where is the slightest bit of sickness?
Did you suddenly get sick next year? Xie Zhen guessed wildly.
She was thinking that Liu's afterglow had already seen her, and she couldn't help but look sideways and said, "I just thought it was a little maid who came in with a soup cup, but I didn't expect it to be Xiao Liu'er, Xiao Liu'er is so capable now." ”
Xie Zhen listened to her affectionate little Liu'er, and felt a little awkward in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer, so she only smiled shyly and called the third aunt softly.
Liu Shi responded with a smile, and then turned to Li Shi and said, "You are blessed, you have children and daughters, and you have made up a good word." ”
Li Shi smiled: "Since the third sister-in-law likes girls, why don't you add a younger sister to Brother Yu." ”
Liu sighed: "Where do I have such a blessing. Not to mention whether I can really give birth to a girl, even if the Bodhisattva blesses me to give birth to a girl as I wish, in case it is a temper twist, where can I eat her? Do you just think every girl is as well-behaved as Xiao Liu'er? ”
Li Shi heard her praise for her daughter, and her heart was naturally happy, but she said: "Third sister-in-law, don't always praise her, beware of her tail going up to the sky." ”
Liu covered his lips and smiled.
Xie Zhen listened to them on the side, and only felt very speechless, but seeing her mother so happy, she didn't want to discourage her interest, so she only pretended not to understand and giggled with them, but secretly thought in her heart.
In that life, her mother died of blood, she didn't know that the Liu family was still friendly with her mother, seeing that her mother was chatting with the Liu family so happily, should she give the Liu family a wake-up call? But if Liu Shi pays more attention to her reminder, maybe he can avoid that disease and live well! In this way, the mother will have a companion to relieve boredom in the future, and the third brother will not fall ill because of excessive sadness!
It's just that how to remind the Liu family without showing a trace?
Xie Zhen frowned slightly, and a few thoughts had turned in her heart.
