Chapter 116: It's Only Blame You for Having Eyes and No Beads 1
"Hello, I'm Xia Yu!" The corners of her mouth were coldly hooked, today's Xia Yu was wearing a white long dress, although it was simple, it made her look more immortal.
"In the next week Wentao, my hometown and Luqiao are from a county town, thanks to Miss for not giving up, I am willing to let my sister and I have a place to live!" Zhou Wentao, who was originally calm, was still a little flustered when he saw Xia Yu.
Because, as the owner of the house, Xia Yu not only did not look down on him because he was a country man. It is not because he is a man, but he still has to rely on the mercy of women to get a place of sacrifice.
Dressed in white and not stained with dust, he obviously doesn't look very old, but that kind of transcendent amazement still makes Zhou Wentao's heart feel a kind of solemnity.
Born in a poor family, Zhou Wentao's only hope is that one day, he will get ahead and give his family a rich life. Without the ability to practice and practice martial arts, he can only read poetry and books and hope to become famous! But they left their hometown, and the brother and sister depended on each other for several years, but they had no choice but to spend all their savings, but they didn't even have a chance to take a fair imperial examination!
He is so humble and insignificant!
But right now, this woman, she is the one who can enter the Academy of All Souls, and even enter the Ten Thousand Swords Cave to find the summoning sword. Even though she has an unbearable past, she has now shown her edge, and she is no longer the waste lady who anyone could bully before.
"I'm starving to death if I'm ready to eat." The voice was faint, very casual, Xia Yu didn't say much when he heard Lu Qiao say that there were people preparing meals, and he raised his feet and was about to walk to the house. However, when she walked to the door and found an empty plaque hanging on the door, she immediately froze in place.
"This is what Madame meant, saying that it is the title of the house, and you will wait for Miss to come back." Zhou Wentao and Lu Qiao walked behind her, and when they saw her look up, they explained loudly.
"'Meizhuang'!" Xia Yu didn't think about it, immediately spit out two words, and strode in casually.
Zhou Wentao behind him couldn't help but be stunned, but with such a crisp and neat vote, it seemed that he didn't want to have anything to do with Xihou Mansion.
"Mother." Zhuangzi is huge. Two gardens, square wings. As soon as Xia Yu saw Aunt Mei's figure in the front hall, she rushed towards her with joy. She was like a child who hadn't been home for a long time, nestled in Aunt Mei's arms. Feel the only warmth left in the world!
She has been a human being in two lives, and has been born and died several times, in fact, she also longs for a stable and happy home.
"Hehe, they are already people who are admired by everyone, how can they still look like a child." Aunt Mei smiled helplessly. But his face is full of love for Xia Yu.
"Xia Yu would rather be a child in her mother's heart for the rest of her life." Xia Yu raised his head, with a begging and loving look, and the mother-daughter relationship was deep, which made Lu Qiao and Zhou Wentao on the side smile. Especially that Zhou Wentao, he couldn't imagine that a girl who had just been temperamental would be as cute as a child in the blink of an eye.
"Ma'am, the meal is ready." A weak voice came, Xia Yu looked up, and saw a person wearing an apron. An ordinary-looking woman came from inside. And when she found the unfamiliar Xia Yu in front of her, she suddenly had a look of surprise and fear.
"Oh, by the way, this is Wen Tao's sister Wen Qian, and the two brothers and sisters are also pitiful, so I made the decision to let Lu Qiao leave people first. After all, such a large mansion is empty. ”
Aunt Mei looked at Xia Yu with a loving face, and immediately introduced her to the pair of Zhou brothers and sisters.
"My mother is in charge." Xia Yu smiled faintly. I didn't expect that I had only been away for a few days, and those two siblings could get such trust from Aunt Mei and Lu Qiao.
"I've seen Miss."
Zhou Wenqian cautiously walked towards Xia Yu, except for a trace of fear and worry in her eyes, people couldn't see any other looks. Xia Yu was nestled in Aunt Mei's arms. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he smiled at her:
"Wen Qian? The name is beautiful and elegant, but I don't know what happened to people! ”
His face turned red instantly, and although Xia Yu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, it was not difficult for people to hear some irony and embarrassment. When Zhou Wenqian heard this, she thought that she had done something wrong and made the eldest lady who had just returned home angry, and she panicked. pounced and knelt in front of Xia Yu.
"Little ...... If Miss doesn't like Wen Qian's name, please give her another name...... I just begged Miss not to drive our brother and sister away. Zhou Wenqian knelt on the ground, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and looked so pitiful.
His eyes darkened, Xia Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with the brothers and sisters this week, but this weak scholar who was a brother was neither humble nor arrogant, how could he get to this sister, but he was so afraid of her.
"I'm just complimenting you on your name, and I don't mean anything else, why are you so nervous?" sneered, although Xia Yu had the intention of testing this Zhou Wenqian, he didn't expect a simple sentence to scare people like this.
"This Zhuangzi is very big, if you brothers and sisters want to stay, thank you more for helping you say good things! I'm hungry, what's so delicious!! ”
The words were faint, but there was a kind of warning. The Zhou family brothers and sisters were able to stay because of the permission of Lu Qiao and Aunt Mei, so Xia Yu didn't hope that one day in the future, these two people would be chilling.
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yu immediately pulled Aunt Mei towards the front hall, only to see that the long table was already full of all kinds of delicacies! In the days since she left Xihou Mansion, Xia Yu either ate wild fruits or nibbled on steamed buns, and she almost forgot what it was like to eat meat!
And the only thing that was stained with meat was the bowl of chicken soup sent by Shui Lan yesterday, so when a table of rich fish and meat was placed in front of him, Xia Yu was unceremoniously able to eat and drink!
"Brother, am I upsetting Miss?" With a hesitant face, Zhou Wenqian cowardly looked at the 'terrible' young lady in the front hall, and immediately asked her brother beside her carefully.
"No, Miss's words really mean nothing else." Of course, she also warned us brothers and sisters not to forget our roots...... Smiled gently, Zhou Wentao did not tell his sister the second half of the sentence, because the smiling Lu Qiao was still by their side at this time.
"Well, Miss, she's very nice. You two should stop thinking nonsense and just make this place your home! Lu Qiao smiled and said happily, and happily threw himself towards the sumptuous meal in the front hall.
***
The air was a little dreary, as dusk approached.
At this time, Xia Yu walked alone and came to the courtyard and saw a swing under a lush tree. There is a wind blowing, and it is swaying leisurely......
His eyes were lowered, and his hand unconsciously touched the anti-heaven ancient jade on his chest. Here, Xia Yu can no longer hear the sound of Qingling. With a long sigh, there was a lot of melancholy in my heart, but unfortunately at this time, Zhou Wentao was walking towards her with a stack of account books. said that he wanted to report some of the recent accounts of the house to her.
Xia Yu didn't care, but she casually flipped through the account book he made, and when she saw the clarity of the bill, she felt that this week Wentao. He is a capable and careful person. But with his talent, how could he rest assured in her small manor.
Xia Yu didn't ask, and she didn't know what Wentao thought of this week, but at this moment, Lu Qiao hurriedly ran to tell her, saying that the crown prince Murong Tian suddenly came.
"Murong Tian? How would he know I lived here? His eyes darkened, and Xia Yu was very puzzled. After returning to Wanling Academy from Zhengyuan Hall for a day, Xia Yu and Ling'er went back to Meizhuang directly without a branch of Xihou Mansion. In this way, when did Murong Tian follow her and know about this......
"Miss. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the front hall, do you want to see him? Lu Qiao asked weakly, but he didn't want Xia Yu to sneer and laugh lightly, "What, if I don't see him, can you send him away?" ”
"Miss ......" Lu Qiao pouted in displeasure, she found that since her young lady drowned, the whole person has not only become cheerful, but also has better skills, and now even the kung fu of making fun of children is not unwanted.
"Invite him over." Xia Yu sits on a swing. Said lightly.
"Then I'll avoid it for now." Zhou Wentao waited beside Xia Yu and suddenly said.
"It's okay, you're right here to help me push the swing." Xia Yu said lightly, and his voice fell. Zhou Wentao was stunned for a moment.
"What...... Pushing a swing? ”
Xia Yu stopped talking, and the whole person was half-leaning on the swing, lazy like a cat.
After a while, Lu Qiao led the grim-looking Murong who had no expression on his face to come here. Today's Murong Tian is dressed in black brocade. As soon as she walked into the yard and found Xia Yu, her sharp eyes instantly glanced at Zhou Wentao, who was pushing the swing behind her.
"Zhou Wentao meets His Highness!" When Murong Tian walked over, Zhou Wentao, who was behind Xia Yu, stepped forward slowly and bowed.
"Who are you?" The thin lips opened lightly, and the cold words made people not feel cold to the bone. The toes touched the ground, the swaying swing suddenly stopped, Xia Yu looked up, and saw Murong tilting a pair of eyes, staring at Zhou Wentao burningly.
"I ......"
"He's my butler! Is there something wrong with the prince's visit at this time? ”
Zhou Wentao was hesitant and didn't know how to answer, but he didn't want Xia Yu to speak first, saying that he was the housekeeper of this house. Xia Yu sat on the swing, and when she met those deep eyes, she said: "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that Xia Yu has a top, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient to salute you." ”
Inconvenience? Inconvenient people can have Yaxing swinging under the tree like this? Xia Yu, would you be too funny with this excuse......
However, knowing that Xia Yu was fooling himself, Murong Tian was not angry. I saw that his face was cold, but there was endless tolerance for this girl in his eyes.
"You go down first, I have something to tell your master." Murong Tian opened his mouth coldly, and the people he was referring to in his words were naturally Zhou Wentao and Lu Qiao.
"They're people I trust, and I don't have to leave." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Xia Yu said lightly. Although, she still doesn't know what Murong Qian wants to say to herself. However, she didn't want to give him a chance to be alone with her. Because, she already knew what Murong Tian was thinking about her now......
His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and something in his deep eyes was fleeting. Xia Yu knew that he was trying his best to hide himself!
Lu Qiao has always listened to Xia Yu's words, and at this moment, he stood in place, not knowing what to say. However, Zhou Wentao stepped forward smartly and said: "Miss, I suddenly remembered that there are a few omissions in my accounts, I will go down first and check it again, and report it to Miss another day." ”
"Okay." With a narrowing of his eyes, Xia Yu was not reluctant. saw that Zhou Wentao quietly handed Lu Qiao a color when he passed by Lu Qiao's side.
"I ...... I'm going to make a cup of tea for the young lady and the prince! ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Qiao also ran away with Zhou Wentao. Xia Yu pursed his lips helplessly, and immediately felt that Zhou Wentao was very smart this week, and his excuse did not provoke Murong Tian or offend himself!
The night was getting darker and darker. The autumn wind hit, rolled up pieces of residual leaves and floated in the air, and the moon quietly climbed up the treetops, because of the weather, her body was like a soft veil!
"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for Xia Yu?" With thin lips slightly open, a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xia Yu sat on the swing, swaying leisurely.
"Why didn't you go back to Xihou Mansion? This time, you can enter the Sword Cave to find the Summoning Sword, and the Imperial Court will definitely pay more attention to the Xihou Mansion! The words were light, and Murong said lightly.
"Hehe" A chuckle burst out, Xia Yu raised his head, and couldn't help but feel that his words were a little funny, "Prince, the summoning sword was desperately found by my Xia Yu, whether it is glorious or not, it has nothing to do with Xihou Mansion!" And whether the court is serious or not, it has nothing to do with our mother and daughter from now on! ”
Murong Qian knew that Xia Yu and her aunt had been untreated in the Xihou Mansion, and even a maid of a concubine could humiliate them. And when poor Aunt Mei was hurt by someone, and even wanted to charge her with killing her mother, I was afraid that Xia Yu would not regard Xihou Mansion as her home for a long time.
"I'm sorry......" His eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage, and Murong Tian actually said these three words to Xia Yu.
"Heh, What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I have some entanglements with Xihou Mansion, how can you be sorry for me? Xia Yu asked with a smile.
With his fists clenched and his hands raised, Murong Tian actually stepped forward slowly and walked towards Xia Yu. Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, wondering what was going on with this Murong Tilt, but she didn't want to At this time, a string of sugar gourds was suddenly handed to her.
"This is ......" Xia Yu raised his eyes in shock, and did not reach out to pick it up, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Xia Yu, forgive me, I never knew that we had known each other for a long time, and when we met again in the same way, I turned around and left behind your back. Xia Yu, you must hate me, right...... Otherwise, it wouldn't have changed so much all of a sudden. When he spoke, he still had that indifferent look on his face, but the faint sadness in his eyes was difficult to hide.
"What have I changed?"
"Xia Yu, it's because I didn't recognize you because I didn't recognize you, and it was because I didn't find my heart in time that I hurt you. That's why you're so indifferent to me now, so you can punish me with this......" Murong Tian said a little sadly, his deep voice trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to hide something.
