Chapter Eighty-Seven: Knocking
In the next few days, Lu Guang and Yuan Changqing lived in a firewood house, and Shi Manman would deliver meals on time every day.
Shi Manman had no intention of killing Yuan Changqing, and after discussing with Xiao Lei, she decided to let the injured Lu Guang watch Yuan Changqing in the firewood room, and after the six-tailed fox was over, she let Lu Guang and Yuan Changqing leave.
Yuan Changqing was already a madman in the eyes of everyone, and she was not worried that after Yuan Changqing was released, someone would believe his words.
……
Xiao Jin will go to Mo Yuanju to sit in the past few days, and at this time he is discussing with Xiao Lei the hard-won written test a few days later. There is a decree of the Holy Father, if you pass this written test, you will be able to participate in the temple examination exceptionally. But the number of people is limited, so the importance of this written test is beyond words for Xiao Lei.
"Ahh Slaves and maids should be damned! As soon as Xiao Jin stepped out of the courtyard door, a figure was coming in from outside the door, and he almost knocked down a piece, but the other party reacted quickly and dodged to the side, but the clothes in his hands were scattered.
"Where are the eyes! Don't you have to fight the rules that an inferior maid should have to fight to remember?! After Huan Yan stabilized Xiao Jin, he pointed to the woman who was kneeling on the ground and repeatedly told her to spare the inferior maid dressed up and scolded.
"Yunxi?" Xiao Jin shouted hesitantly.
"Yes...... It's a slave. Yunxi shuddered, still not daring to raise his head.
"That's it, get up." Xiao Jin looked at Yunxi's eyes full of astonishment, she knew Xiao Lei's temperament, and she would not be willing to be punished heavily if she wanted to leave Yunxi. But the pitiful people in front of him clearly have a miserable appearance. Xiao Jin had to admit in his heart at this time that his soft-hearted younger brother had grown up without him noticing.
"Miss......" Yunxi raised her head and stopped talking, she had secretly planned in her heart after seeing Xiao Jin come to Moyuanju on the third day. Today's meeting is no coincidence.
But Xiao Jin didn't seem to see the expectation in her eyes, she just said Yunxi got up, and walked past Yunxi with Huanyan's hand, and even Yu Guang was stingy.
When Yunxi watched Xiao Jin disappear around the corner, the mountain of hope collapsed silently, and it also crushed her once arrogant back. She could only choke back tears, silently gritted her teeth and picked up the clothes on the ground one by one.
No one knew what had changed in her heart, only the bloody wound on her lip flap that had been bitten by the Hao Fang, stained her lips scarlet.
"The embroidered handkerchief I wiped my hands just now seems to have fallen in the Lei'er courtyard, Huanji, you go and get it back." When he walked to the Yusheng Courtyard, Xiao Jin suddenly remembered something and said to Huan Yan on the side.
Huan Yan was slightly stunned, and looked at Xiao Jin suspiciously.
"Xishijing embroidered Pa, forgot?" Xiao Jin glanced at the other party helplessly, as if complaining about the other party's memory.
"Slave and maid, go and get it." Huan Yan remembered something in an instant, and after saluting Xiao Jin, he turned around and walked towards Mo Yuanju.
……
Liu Yemei invited the people of Qianxiu Pavilion to customize the wedding dress for Xiao Lei, and naturally he would not forget the stone vines.
As soon as she invited Wan Niang that day, she was ordered to Xiao Lei's courtyard, and Xiao Lei's happy event made her forget the rule of order among her elders. Still under Xiao Jin's reminder, after measuring Xiao Lei's size, he hurriedly took Wan Niang to Xiao's grandmother's courtyard.
Although it was for Xiao Lei, Grandmother Xiao did not embarrass Liu Yemei, but Grandmother Xiao still picked bones in the eggs and tossed them before setting the clothes and style.
This delay dragged on for two days.
Two days later, Liu Yemei can bring the empty silk girl to the shallow residence for the stone vines.
When I entered the hospital, I listened to the lively laughter in the hospital.
"The old ancestor is also here." Liu Yemei didn't seem surprised that Grandmother Xiao appeared in the center of the shallow plain.
These days, I have heard people mention that Grandmother Xiao has to sit in this shallow house for several days before she is willing to go back.
Today, Xiao Lei Shi Manman and Grandmother Xiao sat together, and Xiao Lei didn't know what to say to make Grandmother Xiao laugh.
But the smile on Grandmother Xiao's eyebrows disappeared after seeing Liu Yemei enter the door, and she said coldly: "When did the Xiao family become so unruly." ”
When Liu Yemei heard this, the smile on her face immediately stiffened, and she adjusted her expression in an instant, and stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "It's a concubine who is rude." ”
When Liu Yemei saluted Grandmother Xiao, Xiao Lei was beside Grandmother. He wanted to avoid it, but who knew that Grandmother Xiao pulled Xiao Lei and said, "It's just a concubine." The concubine is a high-level slave, a slave is a slave after all, you are the master, you can afford this ceremony. ”
Xiao Lei's face was embarrassed, and he still respected Liu Yemei very much. But he is only deep in his grandmother's temperament, and if he speaks out for Liu Yemei here, it will only make his grandmother doubly humiliate the other party.
Liu Yemei's face could no longer maintain a smile, and a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes, but he still saluted the two without pause.
Grandmother Xiao snorted coldly, "Get up." looked like I was crying and mourning, and I didn't know if I thought I was scolding you. Remember this rule, when the vine enters the door, it is the serious housewife of the family, you don't forget the rules! ”
Liu Yemei was slightly shocked when she heard this, and Grandmother Xiao's meaning was already very clear. As long as she is in front of Grandmother Xiao, she, the "elder", must also bow her head to the junior. In Grandmother Xiao's heart, she is just a slave.
"The concubine didn't dare. It's a concubine's rudeness. When Liu Yemei got up, she adjusted her mood, and looked at Grandmother Xiao with a smile on her face again, as if the grievances and embarrassments just now had never happened.
Xiao Lei's eyebrows were already tightly twisted together, and Grandmother Xiao seemed to affirm Shi Manman's future status in Xiao Mansion in front of everyone, but it invisibly caused Liu Yemei to give birth to a "class" gap between her.
"Ancestor, I'll take someone to measure the shape of Miss Shi, look ......" Liu Yemei cautiously asked.
"Vines. From now on, it will be a family. In addition to the wedding dress, choose a few more pairs of ingredients. What style and color of dress do you like, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Grandmother Xiao didn't seem to hear Liu Yemei speak, and said to Shi Manman.
Liu Yemei was accustomed to Grandmother Xiao's attitude of ignoring herself, and she glanced at the girl behind her. Wan Niang understood, and stepped forward to take a measuring stick to measure the body of the stone vine.
"This emerald brocade can be used as a cloak, huh...... The vines seem to love plain colors, which can be made into a plain velvet embroidered jacket...... It's getting colder and colder, so you have to pack a few more items. Grandmother Xiao looked at the clothes presented by her subordinates, looked at them carefully, and said something in her mouth, and she didn't know that she thought that Shi Manman was Grandmother Xiao's granddaughter.
Liu Yemei looked at the enthusiastic grandmother Xiao, and she didn't know what it was like.
Grandmother Xiao loves Xiao Jin, but she only loves her, not as doting on Xiao Lei to the bone marrow.
She also knows a lot about her own reasons, so after Xiao Lei's biological mother passed away, Liu Yemei took the initiative to pass Xiao Jin under the name of Xiao Lei's mother. At this point, Grandmother Xiao has paid more attention to Xiao Jin than before.
"That's all. Lei'er should be adding some more clothes, and when she enters the palace test, she can't wear it so shabby. When Grandmother Xiao mentioned her grandson, her eyes were always full of light.
"Grandmother's noble words, my aunt has prepared it for Lei'er a few days ago." Grandmother may be harsh on Liu Yemei, but she has always loved him from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, Xiao Lei can only mention a little bit of Liu Yemei's goodness from the side, instead of arguing with Grandmother Xiao directly.
"It's kind of a thing." Grandmother Xiao said lightly.
After measuring the size of the stone vines, Grandmother Xiao no longer made things difficult for Liu Yemei, which seemed to mean that all the atmosphere in Liu Yemei's presence was destroyed. After only chatting casually, he left Mo Yuanju a little earlier than usual.
