Chapter Seventy-Nine: Unwillingness
"Grandmother invited a Taoist priest to come to the house to open an altar to collect demons?" Xiao Jin stared at Xingmu with an unbelievable face.
Shi Manman, who was sitting opposite Xiao Jin, nodded.
The next day after returning to Xiao's Mansion, Xiao Jin asked her subordinates to invite Shi Manman to her courtyard to taste the flower tea she had just figured out.
It was only after small talk that she learned the absurd-sounding news from Shi Manman's mouth.
"Isn't that ridiculous?" Xiao Jin said with a wry smile.
"What's ridiculous?" Liu Yemei stood outside the door with a smile, looking at the two delicate flowers in the room.
"Mother, why are you here. And no one will be informed. Xiao Jin got up and greeted Liu Yemei.
"I heard that Jin'er pondered a new style of flower tea again, so I wanted to come over to have a good time and ask for a cup of freshness." Liu Yemei took the flower tea handed by Huan Yan and tasted it: "Jin'er's craftsmanship is really getting better and better." ”
"What did you just say? What ridiculousness? Putting down the teacup, Liu Yemei continued to pick up Xiao Jin's words.
Shi Manman looked at the purple qi that was getting thicker and thicker between Liu Ye's eyebrows, and was slightly distracted.
Xiao Jin told Liu Yemei about Xiao's grandmother going to Shengyun to seek peace, Liu Yemei listened quietly, and said after Xiao Jin finished speaking: "A lot of things have happened in the Xiao family in the past few days, so it's good to invite someone to settle down." First, it calmed the heart of the old grandmother, and secondly, Lei'er's marriage could be done more smoothly. ”
"I've wronged Miss Shi." Liu Yemei's words turned sharply, comforting Shi Manman.
According to the marriage custom, Shi Manman is to be married in his mother's house. But she married in the Xiao family, which seems nondescript in the eyes of outsiders, and it will also make some tongue-in-cheek people speculate about the reason.
Shi Manman shook it absently, but in Liu Yemei's eyes, he felt a little deeper for her.
"It seems that I haven't seen Lei'er for some days." Liu Yemei said.
"Mother still doesn't know, I just got the news a few days ago, and the emperor doesn't know why he wants to reopen the exam. I'm afraid Lei'er is in the study, I've never seen him work so hard. I used to wear out my mouth, and Lei'er also went in the left ear and out of the right ear, and now I am about to get married, as if I have grown up overnight, and I consciously read a book. Xiao Jin quipped.
Shi Manman and the three of you passed the time in Xiao Jin's courtyard for almost an hour, Shi Manman listened quietly to the small talk of the mother and daughter most of the time, which was nothing more than the shortcomings of the parents and the expenses of the family. She was drowsy when she listened, and in order not to be rude, she was distracted by how she would deal with the six-tailed fox if she came to the Xiao family, and at the same time dealt with the irrelevant questions thrown by the two from time to time.
Finally returned to the center of the shallow prime, but Shi Manman felt even more tired than the original battle with the hooked snake.
"I'll sleep for a while." After saying a word to Yalian, Shi Manman locked himself in the room and fell asleep.
At this time, the sun had not yet set, and the little hooked snake saw that the stone vine was asleep, so he got out of her cuff and slipped behind the screen. After a sparse sound, it stopped quiet.
Mo Yuanju.
Xiao Lei has a basin book in his left hand, and a cold cup of tea in his right hand, and the tea cup in his right hand hangs on his mouth.
"Childe, the tea is cold, and the slave maid will add water to you." A woman dressed in a third-class maid armor pushed the door open, holding a pot of hot tea from the spout. Xiao Lei's contemplative thoughts were interrupted by this soft cry.
Seeing someone coming, Xiao Lei frowned.
The maid who came in was Yunbi left by Xiao Lei's soft heart.
As the name suggests, the third-class maid is the dirtiest and most tiring job in the courtyard, and its status is not as good as that of a rough mother-in-law. After all, it is also the old man in the Xiao Mansion who can be a mother-in-law, and they are happy to bully the new maids.
But Yunbi is different. First of all, she served the two masters in the family, and grew up with Xiao Lei, the only son. Therefore, everyone only thinks that Yunbi's identity as a third-class maid will not last long, and she will eventually return to her original status.
Yun Bi naturally thought the same way. After Xiao Lei left herself in Yusheng Academy, she decided that Xiao Lei had affection for herself, whether there was a relationship between men and women, as long as she had this affection, she would have a day to turn over.
"Who let you in?" Xiao Lei put down the teacup and asked lightly.
Yun Bi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Didn't you also serve the tea of the slave maid before?" I remember that Childe used to like my favorite hair tips for soaking, so I ......"
"Yuan Changqing." Xiao Lei interrupted Yun Bi's words and shouted out the door.
Yuan Changqing walked in from outside the door with a bitter face, and did not forget to dig Yun Bi a hard look.
"Do you remember what I said?" Xiao Lei said indifferently.
"Childe has instructed that no one is allowed to disturb except Miss Shi." Yuan Changqing secretly scolded himself for not being ruthless, but he was helpless. Yun Bi rushed over like this, and said that if he stopped him, he would sue him for indecency.
"Go and call Shen Po to come over, and your moon silver next month, it's gone." Xiao Lei saw a hint from Yuan Changqing's face.
Yuan Changqing Nuonuo said yes, and when he turned around and went out, he happened to meet Lu Guang who came back from tea. Seeing the smile on his face, he glared at him fiercely, and it wasn't until Lu Guang's smile stiffened on his face that Yuan Changqing felt more comfortable.
Yun Bi has been waiting for Xiao Lei for so long, and she knows all his tones and tones.
Childe is angry?
Yun Bi thought in her heart, her hands trembling a little weakly because she had been holding the tray for too long. She didn't understand why Xiao Lei had such an attitude when she just did the same thing as before.
"Childe." After Lu Guang entered the door, he saw Yun Bi, who was motionless like a sculpture, so he symbolically shouted Xiao Lei, put down the tea in his hand, and didn't wait for Xiao Lei to speak, turned around and walked out of the door.
This newcomer is too ignorant of the rules. Yun Bi thought in her heart but didn't speak, she just didn't know why Xiao Lei was unhappy this time, if she mentioned Xiao Lei again, the goal she had just achieved would be ruined.
"Childe looking for an old slave?" Yun Bi stood upright on the side, as if after a long time, she finally heard the voice of Shen Po outside the door.
"Now that I have mentioned you as the steward of the hospital, can you tell me why Yunxi is here?" Xiao Lei finally mentioned Yunxi, but Yunxi heard a trace of uneasiness in Xiao Lei's words.
"This ......" Shen Po has lived to this age, if she doesn't understand what Xiao Lei means, she won't have to stay in the Xiao family anymore.
I knew that I wouldn't listen to this little hoof, and I thought that sooner or later she would resume her status as a first-class maid, and listen to the tone of the son...... Hum. Shen Po secretly scolded Yunxi in her heart, if she hadn't sworn in front of Shen Po, how could Shen Po let a third-class maid enter Xiao Lei's study.
"Forget it, you know the rules, take people down." Xiao Lei waved his hand impatiently, he didn't have much time to prepare for the upcoming opportunity.
"Yes, yes." Shen Po hurriedly agreed, stepped forward and grabbed Yun Bi to take her out of the study.
Yunbi stayed where she was, what did Childe mean by this? She still wanted to ask, but immediately remembered that she was almost subject to the house rules two days ago, and her feet couldn't help but walk out of the study under the pull of Shen Po.
Was she really driven into the mud by the clouds? The position of her heart suddenly changed from her eyes to the sky.
She was not reconciled.
