Chapter 160: Sinister
Of course, not only Xiao Pei, but even Xiao Yu didn't know that Li Ying had already hated her because of jealousy, and this could really be said to be a disaster.
Li Ying originally wanted to deceive people to the Jingnan County Mansion under the pretext of making friends.
When he heard that the people from the palace came to the door, Xiao Pei was very surprised. However, because of her previous experience, she immediately subconsciously became vigilant.
Isn't that the lord of Shuhui looking for trouble because of the last collision?
Despite thinking so, Xiao Pei politely let people in.
There were two men and two women, both dressed in red and green, and they were very particular. They politely conveyed Li Ying's goodwill.
said that the palace would hold a banquet in a few days and invite Xiao Pei to participate.
The handmaid who looked beautiful and clever smiled and said: "Now Miss Xiao Yu has become the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling, Miss Xiao, you and Brother Ling have taken such good care of Miss Xiao Yu in recent years, and your identity is naturally extraordinary, and it cannot be compared with ordinary farmers." Especially Miss Xiao, as the sister of Miss Xiao Yu, you should also walk around more with the girls from big families in Yong'an County, and have more knowledge, so as not to lose Xiao's face. ”
Li Ying thought that any peasant girl would be pleasantly surprised when she heard such an invitation. As long as she shows enough sincerity, understands reason, moves with affection, and then tempts her to benefit, she will definitely be able to trick Xiao Pei into the palace.
When the time comes, if you are charged with collision or theft, Xiao Pei will still be able to escape?
As long as Xiao Pei has an accident, Xiao Yu, who had such a good relationship with this sister before, should be very sad, and maybe she will go back to Yuedi.
Li Yingguang thought that Xiao Yu would be in pain, and he felt happy in his heart. And if that little slut really comes back, are you afraid that you won't find a chance to kill her?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Pei was not fooled.
If there was no previous conflict, perhaps although Xiao Pei was dissatisfied with the tone of this maid, out of fear of the power of the county king's mansion and for the sake of Xiao Yu, he would have responded stupidly.
But now, Xiao Pei has experienced what happened last time, and he also knows the reason why Li Ying hates Xiao Yu, and he is very wary of the Jingnan County Palace.
Xiao Pei felt that with the ruthless and narrow-minded temperament of the county lord Shuhui, how could he be so disregarding the past suspicions? Especially when she remembered the terrible experience of almost dying that day, she still had palpitations.
Because he didn't think of how to deal with it for a while, Xiao Pei had to let the maid serve tea first.
Lichun saw that Xiao Pei's face was not very good, and he said with some worry: The girl is not comfortable? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Pei was moved, nodded, and said to the people in the Jingnan County Mansion with some weakness: "Thanks to the love of the lord of Shuhui, the slave is flattered. It's just that he has been in poor health recently, and the doctor said that it is not appropriate to go out to walk around and blow the wind, and he is afraid that he will be sick to the county lord and all the daughters, so he really doesn't dare to go with illness, and he also asked a few people to say a few kind words in front of the county lord. ”
When Xiao Yu heard Xiao Pei say this, she felt a little guilty and said, "I let Sister Ah be wronged, and she cursed herself like this." ”
Xiao Pei shook his head and smiled: "Ah Yu doesn't have to be like this, as long as he can send those people away, what is the matter with these few words?" ”
Xiao Yu nodded and asked, "What happened later?" ”
Lichun next to him took over the conversation and said.
After Lichun was almost killed with a cane in the general's mansion, he also saw that these people might have bad intentions, and when he went down to serve tea, he asked the little girl to boil the tonics.
Several people in the Jingnan County Royal Mansion put on a sick look when they saw Xiao Pei, no matter what they said, they only weakly said that they couldn't make the trip, and then they fainted directly after some people in a tone, and they didn't even take the medicine that was served.
A few people really had no choice but to go back to their lives.
After these people left, Xiao Pei immediately asked someone to call Xiao Yucheng back. She thought about it for a long time and felt that Li Ying just had bad intentions.
Li Ying and Xiao Yu should not have any conflict, and the conflict between the two comes from Hua Yue.
At that time, Xiao Yu and Hua Yue's identities were very different, and it stands to reason that she would not pose any threat to Li Ying, she looked like she was going to eat people, and now Xiao Yu is already a daughter of a famous family, and Hua Yue is in charge, wouldn't she be even more jealous?
After Xiao Yucheng knew that Li Ying asked people to invite Xiao Pei to the county king's mansion as a guest, he also felt that it was right that she did not go rashly, and then he told the people of the general's mansion when he asked Hao Jun to return to the city, and spread the matter to Changzhou.
The people from the Jingnan County Mansion came to the door again and brought the imperial doctor over.
Li Ying suspected that Xiao Pei was pretending to be sick and wanted to arrest her so that she could deceive the county lord and convict her. But Xiao Pei was prepared.
Xiao Yu has a lot of strange medicines there, and several of them are symptoms that make people feel like they are sick after taking them. Although he had to suffer a little, Xiao Pei, for the sake of safety, heard that the people from the Jingnan County Mansion were coming again, so he hurriedly took one.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face sank, and he was about to speak, but Xiao Pei continued to speak.
After repeatedly checking the pulse, the doctor determined that Xiao Pei was indeed infected with wind chill and had some fever.
Li Ying couldn't, so she pretended to ask the attendant to send good medicinal herbs over.
This illness is half a month, Li Ying couldn't hold her breath, and she was ruthless at the moment: soft can't work, can't she come hard?
The people from the Junwang Mansion went to Xiao's house again in a menacing manner, but found that there were several more soldiers in robes and armor at the gate of the courtyard, and a few people were stopped as soon as they approached: "Bold! Who dares to trespass in the heavy land of military aircraft?! ”
Several guards of the Jingnan County Palace's palace were startled first, stopped, and when they came back to their senses, the leader was suddenly annoyed and angry.
These people have no ability, but they are used to bullying people on weekdays, arrogant and domineering, and they don't know the relationship between the Xiao family and the General's Mansion.
The leader sneered and said, "When did a small peasant family become a military machine?" Pretending to be an official is a felony of killing the head! ”
After saying that, he swaggered forward.
The soldier lowered his face coldly, and without saying a word, he picked up the spear and picked it up, knocking the man a few steps away, and several people next to him also pulled out their swords and unsheathed: "Who dares to take another step forward, and there is no mercy for killing!" ”
The rest of the county king's mansion retreated in fright, and the more shrewd one of them stuffed silver into the little soldier who seemed to be more sleek and easy to talk to the side, and asked what was going on.
The soldier quietly put away the silver and whispered with satisfaction: "Do you know the sacred object that the Holy Lord ordered the general to supervise?" ”
The people from the Jingnan County Royal Mansion nodded: "What kind of corn is that, I heard about it, what does it have to do with here?" ”
The little soldier sighed: "The relationship is big. Now that the corn is recovered, it will be placed in Xiao's house, so this has become a military aircraft center, and idlers can't walk around at will, otherwise it will be the end. ”
It is said that this corn has been planted and is very likely to become the main source of military food in the future.
A few people from the Jingnan County Royal Mansion didn't dare to mess around, picked up the injured one, and left quickly.
Not long after, Xiao Yucheng got the grapevine that the lord of the palace, Shuhui, was sick, and couldn't help but gloat with Hao Jun.
Li Ying was sick with qi and fever, and was lying on the bed top-heavy. On this day, she looked at the delicate dim sum on the table, and suddenly thought of Lan Kwai Fong's fairy grass jelly.
Since discovering this dessert, Li Ying has often asked people to buy and eat it in the summer.
That fairy grass jelly is said to be from the Xiao family?
It's winter now, and Lan Kwai Fong no longer sells the fairy grass jelly that is sold as an ice drink. Li Ying called Begonia over and pointed out that she wanted to eat fairy grass jelly.
Haitang naturally didn't dare to disobey, and asked the imperial doctor and said that as long as it was not iced, eating some fairy grass jelly would also be beneficial, so he went to Lan Kwai Fong and asked him to send it over quickly.
However, there is no fairy grass jelly in Lan Kwai Fong now.
In order not to offend this Shuhui county lord, Wei Ruying had to send someone to the Xiao family to ask for it. How did the people from Klan Kwai Fong get into the Xiao family? finally handed over the news, and by the time Xiao Pei made the fairy grass jelly, two more days had passed.
Lan Kwai Fong immediately sent the fairy grass jelly to the Jingnan County Palace, but not surprisingly, Li Ying said that Lan Kwai Fong was deliberately negligent, not only got angry, but also ordered someone to throw all these fairy grass jelly at the door of Lan Kwai Fong.
The next day, the people from the county king's mansion went to Lan Kwai Fong again, saying that the county lord wanted to eat fairy grass jelly. After doing this several times, Lan Kwai Fong proposed to terminate the contract with the Xiao family.
Wei Ruying also vaguely told Xiao Pei about the pressure from the county prince's mansion, reminding her that there would probably be no more shops in Yong'an County to buy this fairy grass jelly.
Although the sister and brother were angry, they also endured it. No store dares to buy it, and you can sell it yourself, not to mention that even if you don't have the input of fairy grass jelly, there are other sources of money at home.
A few days later, Drunken Xianju also came, saying that he would not accept the Xiao family's sour bamboo shoots in the future.
Although Xiao Pei knew that the Qin family must have been forced by the power of the county king's mansion and had to do it, he was still a little disappointed.
When something like this happened, Qin Guangyu didn't come over.
Seeing this, Xiao Yucheng mentioned: At this time, Qin Guangyu may be studying hard behind closed doors in preparation for the spring of the next year.
Xiao Pei felt a little comforted at this time, and then couldn't help but feel melancholy. If Qin Guangyu takes the fame test, the gap between the two will get bigger and bigger.
These things that Li Ying made up quickly reached Ling Yi's hands. However, in order to avoid Xiao Yu worrying, no one told her.
Although Ling Yi and Hua Yue went to Changzhou, of course there would be no one in the general's mansion.
The military advisor Bai Yu knew the relationship between Xiao Jiahe and Ling Yi, and without Ling Yi's orders, he knew that someone should be arranged to protect the safety of the Xiao family's sisters and brothers.
On this day, Li Ying asked people to go to Xiao's house to find fairy grass jelly, and brazenly said that it was really inappropriate to trouble the Xiao family every day for this, suggesting that Xiao Pei would directly hand over the recipe.
The two sisters and brothers laughed angrily, and simply didn't even make fairy grass jelly for Li Ying.
Li Ying thought that the Xiao family sisters and brothers would not offend their palace for a recipe, and they were going to get the recipe of this fairy grass jelly first, and then take all the exclusive secret recipes for sour bamboo shoots and winemaking. But she miscalculated.
When the people from the Jingnan County Mansion came to the door again, Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei met with him very politely. (To be continued.) )
