Xue Qingyi and Le Ling came out to welcome the guests, got into the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion parked at the entrance of the alley, and after giving the coachman the address, the carriage slowly drove towards the alley of the long street.

Along the way, Xue Qingyi had no intention of admiring the scenery outside the window, she lowered her head and quietly thought about what happened in welcoming guests, and the matter of the book of soldiers was finally smoothly publicized, although there was a little accident in the middle - the party Xiao Rui actually came to the scene, but this did not affect the overall situation.

She had already made up her mind to cooperate with him, and sooner or later she would tell him frankly about pulling him into the water. What surprised her, Xiao Rui was very likely to be the master behind the scenes of this welcoming guest, which made her feel happy and a little worried at the same time.

The good thing is that his strength is so strong, if she cooperates with him, then what she has to plan will become much easier, and the worry is that if he fails to cooperate and he becomes her opponent in the end, then how will she deal with such a strong and difficult opponent.

Le Ling sat quietly beside Xue Qingyi, the cold wind came in through the gap in the car, Le Ling handed the hand warmer prepared in advance in the car to Xue Qingyi and said, "Little lady, it's cold outside, be careful of catching a cold, warm your hands." ”

Xue Qingyi came back to his senses, took it with a smile, sighed at her, and said, "Le Ling, I've been sick for a long time and have done a lot of foolish things, and now I'm really afraid that one day I will be confused again and do something wrong." In case I get sick again one day, you help take care of Azu, who is too old to withstand the blow. ”

Le Ling said hurriedly, "Little lady, aren't you okay now?" Don't say these unlucky words again, taking care of Grandpa Guo is also Le Ling's business, even if the little lady doesn't say it, Le Ling will do her best. ”

Xue Qingyi watched Le Ling's gaze become darker, sighed softly, and said, "Who can predict the things in this world, Le Ling, I'm just preparing for the worst." ”

While the two were talking, the carriage had already driven to the entrance of the long street, and Le Ling took a white fox fur pleats and put it on Xue Qingyi, and got out of the carriage with her.

Passing through the deep alley, turning a few corners, a small mud house with red bricks and green tiles appeared in front of the vision of the two, and a tall grapefruit tree stood in front of the house, and the blue-green pomelo hung on the tree, exuding a burst of fragrance.

Le Ling looked curiously, and saw a bald monk in his thirties in front of the wooden table in the courtyard, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was drinking wine while nibbling on a pig's trotter and feasting.

Le Ling laughed out loud, pointed at the bald monk and said, "Little lady, this monk is actually fishy, and it is wine and meat, so is the scripture he recited still work?" ”

Xue Qingyi glanced at her with disgust and said, "It doesn't work, as long as there is a Buddha in your heart, there is a Buddha everywhere." "It's much better than people who are doing dirty things behind their backs while reciting sutras in their mouths every day.

Xue Qingyi's mind flashed the hypocritical appearance of Old Madam Xiao's hand twisting beads, and the look on her face was also cold.

Leling stuck out her tongue mischievously at her.

Hearing this, the bald monk raised his head and glanced at Xue Qingyi, and then lowered his head casually and continued to fight the pig's trotters in his mouth.

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a cotton coarse dress who looked full of vigor walked out of the house with a plate of hot dishes, and she couldn't help but be happy when she saw Xue Qingyi standing in the courtyard.

As soon as he put the hot dishes in front of the monk's table, he eagerly stepped forward, looked her up and down carefully, and then said happily, "Little lady, I am looking forward to you." Not long ago, I heard that you were sick and it was inconvenient to go to the house to see you, and I was anxious, are you feeling better now? ”

"Sister-in-law Wu, I'm all right now. No, as soon as I get better, I'll come over to see you and Uncle Wu right away. By the way, what about Uncle Wu? Xue Qingyi looked around and saw that there was no figure of Uncle Wu, so he asked.

"Your Uncle Wu went out early in the morning to buy goods, and he hasn't come back yet. He's been talking about you, too. If he knew you were coming, he would be very happy. Sister-in-law Wu said with a smile.

"Little lady, don't stand still, come, sit here for a while." Sister-in-law Wu affectionately took Xue Qingyi's hand and sat down at another wooden table, "I'll pour you a cup of hot tea, you sit and wait for a while." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and went indoors, and after a while. He came out with two cups of hot tea and said, "Little lady, come, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body." This orange peel was just dried by me a few days ago, specially used to soak as tea, you can taste it, it is very fragrant. As he spoke, he handed one cup of tea to Xue Qingyi, and the other to Le Ling.

Xue Qingyi took the teacup, and the thick aroma of oranges wafted out in the cup.

She took a sip and suddenly felt that her lips and teeth were extremely sweet, but the taste was much better than those famous teas that were vain.

"Sister-in-law Wu, this orange tea tastes very good, I like it very much." Xue Qingyi praised.

"The little lady likes it, when I go back, I'll wrap a few bags for you and take them back to the house." Sister-in-law Wu said happily.

"Then there is Sister-in-law Lao Wu, I won't be polite to you." The last time Xue Qingyi came here as Xiao Yu, he only stayed in a hurry for a while, and he couldn't identify himself with Sister-in-law Wu and Uncle Wu.

This time she came here, firstly, to visit Sister-in-law Wu and Uncle Wu, and secondly, she still had something to entrust to the two of them, there were not many people she could trust, and Sister-in-law Wu and Uncle Wu were among the few people she could trust.

"Sister-in-law Wu, is business good these days? Is Uncle Wu okay? ”

"Your Uncle Wu is quite healthy, and the business here is okay, enough for the two of us to have enough food and clothing. Thanks to you, little lady, otherwise the two of us would not have such a comfortable life. Sister-in-law Wu said gratefully.

"Sister-in-law Wu, every time I come, you say that every time, if you do this next time, I won't come." Xue Qingyi deliberately pretended to be angry.

"Okay, good, good, I'll listen to the little lady, I won't talk about it in the future." Sister-in-law Wu and Xue Qingyi looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, the bald monk at the other table finished drinking, stood up, got up and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Wu stepped forward to stop him and said, "Master, you haven't paid for the wine yet?" "This monk looks like a Buddha with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he didn't expect it to be a person who eats overlord meals.

"Amitabha, good, good. The poor monk came from afar, and he didn't have enough money with him, donor, you see, I will give you this scripture of mine, don't you think? With that, the bald monk took out a scripture book from his arms and handed it to Sister-in-law Wu.

"What use will I use this scripture for, and I cannot eat it as a meal, but forget it, and I will do a good deed that day. Let's go. Sister-in-law Wu waved at him. (To be continued.) )
