Chapter 178

King Heng and Ling'er escaped from Fubu Villa and arrived in the capital safely, King Heng first went back to the palace to deal with daily affairs, and Ling'er also hurriedly rushed to Wang Jiuye's mansion.

Qingxi sat on the threshold with his chin in his hands and looked at the few people who came and went outside the door with blank eyes, often pedestrians, the young lady had been away for a few days, and there was no news at all, Zishan and Zilin had disguised themselves as ordinary people before to send firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea to the Ruiwang Mansion, and they went for a few days in a row, and the places that should be explored were investigated, but there was no clue. The three masters and apprentices were not in a hurry, and they searched everywhere in the capital every day, and even if there was a clue, they would definitely go to see it day and night. And little girls like Qingxi and Nuo'er can only guard in the house, preparing the clothes and food that Miss used to like at any time, and she may suddenly appear when she looks at Miss and speaks.

Ling'er and King Heng were separated, looking at the sun outside, and they were in a long hurry, although it was not very tiring to ride in the carriage, but after all, the journey was bumpy, and the water was never a good drink. When she arrived in the downtown area, she suddenly wanted to eat fresh fruit, so she got out of the carriage and walked towards the small vendor on the side of the road.

"Sell grapes, sell grapes, fresh and fresh big grapes, you can taste them before you buy them!" A shout came into my ears, and it was normal to shout like this, but today it sounded particularly graceful, not as skilled and enthusiastic as the ordinary hawker. Following the sound, I saw a woman in a floral cloth shirt selling grapes, wearing a hat to cover the sun on her head, and the brim of the hat was pressed very low. Ling'er knew at a glance that this must be the person who doesn't come out and walk around often, and her skin is very thin, and it is really embarrassing for her to wrap herself tightly in such a big summer.

"Girl, I want all these grapes, is a tael of silver enough?" Ling'er handed a tael of silver in front of the woman and said with a smile.

"Ahh No, no, these are only ten dollars. The woman who sold the grapes heard that someone was going to buy her things, and she hurriedly said. Looking up, he met Ling'er, who bent down slightly, "Miss!"

Ling'er saw the woman's face clearly, it was the servant girl Xiaoping who she had released in the past, when she was let out, one was that she made a mistake and tried to murder Ji Ran for the sake of silver, and she did have a family that could have a good home. But looking at her description today, it seems to be a bit ordinary, Ling'er Yuan also sympathizes with this ancient woman, she can only obey the arrangements of others in her life, and she can't do anything at all, seeing Xiaoping in a daze, the silver in her hand shook again, "Take it quickly, these grapes are mine." ”

Xiaoping's face turned red, and she stammered: "No, no need for so much, if the young lady likes it, just take it and eat it."

Ling'er stuffed the silver into her hand, only to see that there were some faint bruises on her wrists, and she wanted to look more carefully, but Xiaoping was shocked to see that Ling'er was looking at her wrists, so she hurriedly retracted her hand, and then lifted the basket of grapes and handed it to Miss.

Ling'er also stood up and took the basket without thinking, "If there is anything that you can't get over, come to me at any time, and I won't watch you suffer." ”

"Thank you, Miss, Xiaoping is doing well, so I won't bother you." Before he finished his sentence, he turned his face as if he saw someone, and hurried through the crowd.

Ling'er looked at Xiaoping's back strangely, remembering that although this girl was not very fat before, her small body was still straight, after all, she was only a teenager, but today she looked like a shrimp with her back bent, her neck shrunk, and her little head became more and more thin. When he was far away, Ling'er withdrew his gaze, and was about to walk back with the basket.

"You're not afraid of being tired, these things are sent to other people, so why bother to do it yourself." Mu Chenfeng looked at Ling'er's sunburned red face with amusement, and stubbornly carried a basket of grapes in his hand.

"Isn't this your coming, just right, help me send things back, and by the way, I can reward you with a few bunches to try." I haven't seen Mu Chenfeng for many days, but I feel very kind when I see it at this time.

Mu Chenfeng stretched out his hand to take the basket, this little girl has been wandering outside for so many days and is still such a quirky character, when the following people came to report that King Heng and his wife had entered Fubu Villa, they wanted to go several times, but in the end they still didn't make the trip. Today, when I learned that the two of them had returned to Beijing, I had been following behind the carriage of the two, and finally chose this time to appear.

Qingxi planned to get up and go in when the number of passers-by in front of the door reached a hundred, and she secretly made a bet with herself in her heart that if the young lady hadn't come back after she counted to a hundred, then she would wait another day. But I still have a little hope in my heart, and the moment I turn around, I can't help but look back again, hey! Is it your own eyes? Slowly, Mu Chenfeng and Ling'er's figures got closer, closer. "Miss!" Qingxi ran straight over like a pony like a pon, holding the young lady with one hand and looking up and down, left and right, as if she couldn't see enough.

"Silly girl, you torn my clothes, don't let go, be careful to go back and let you eat sour plums." Qingxi is afraid of acid, and she doesn't dare to taste all the sour things on weekdays, so Ling'er specially picks up her weaknesses and makes fun of her.

"As long as the young lady comes back, even if the slave maid eats the sourest plum, she will be willing." Qingxi smiled and laughed out of tears, swearing.

Ling'er felt so warm in her heart, she took Qingxi's hand, and the two entered the courtyard together. As usual, Nuo'er said that Miss's favorite sour plum soup was placed on the table, and she sighed faintly in her heart, I don't know if Miss can drink it today. Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps, and turned around in surprise, it was the young lady who came back, and she was also overjoyed.

Mu Chenfeng followed Ling'er into the room, put the basket of grapes on the table, and instructed Nuo'er: "Your young lady's favorite food, hurry up and wash it with cool well water, and then put it in the jasper plate last time."

Nuo'er was willing, seeing that Mu Chenfeng said so carefully, as if she knew Miss better than herself, she pursed her lips and smiled, lifted the basket and was about to go out. "Miss Hu, when did you come over? Come in and sit down. At first glance, seeing Hu Dieyi standing outside the door, Nuo'er hurriedly invited him.

Ling'er was resting on her Taishi chair refreshingly, and suddenly heard that Hu Dieyi was coming, so she hurriedly stood up from the chair, greeted her and said with a smile: "My sister came in time, I just entered the door, and you have arrived."

Hu Dieyi smiled faintly, "I'm not the only one who came in time, my sister has been out for so many days, I am very worried about myself, fortunately, I finally came back safely today, how can I not hurry up and come over to see, I have sent Yu Nu to invite the uncle and the two junior brothers to come back, they have worked hard for you for a long time." Hu Dieyi said so many words in a rare breath, and after speaking, the corner of his eye swept Mu Chenfeng, who was sitting next to him.

Mu Chenfeng originally took a book of poetry on the desk to read, and when he saw Hu Dieyi coming in, he wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know how to say it for a while, so he just listened to him and Ling'er talk blankly. Unconsciously swept away by the corner of his eye, he seemed to feel something in his heart, and he was even more uncomfortable, so he had to turn around and pretend to read a book.

Ling'er wondered in her heart, this Hu Dieyi used to say a lot of ten words a day, why was he so verbose today. But it's not surprising to think that I've been gone for so many days, and there are naturally a lot of things that have happened, and it's all about myself. "Sister, sit down, Young Master Mu just came back with a basket of grapes for me, but they are all extremely fresh, you can also taste them together." Ling'er had the intention to let the two of them go further, and only thought about mentioning Mu Chenfeng, so this grape would arouse Hu Dieyi's interest.

"Oh? Young Master Mu is really considerate, but why didn't he see His Royal Highness King Heng, but it was sent by you, if Dieyi ate this grape, wouldn't he live up to the young master's heart for his sister?" Hu Dieyi picked up a silk handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled very elegantly, and looked at Ling'er with her eyes, which was a bit interesting.

Ling'er didn't expect Hu Dieyi to say this, but she didn't know how to say it when she stayed where she was, she was originally kind-hearted, and seeing this situation made the two of them estranged.

The three of them were uncomfortable, at this time Nuo'er walked in with the washed grapes, and when she saw the young lady's eyes, she hurriedly brought a plate of grapes to Hu Dieyi first, "Mu Gongzi originally said that not only my young lady loves to eat grapes, but Miss Hu also loves to eat, I was so busy that I forgot to call you, how about you taste it first?"

Hu Dieyi's scrutinizing eyes carefully looked at Nuo'er for a long time, and Nuo'er was so uncomfortable when she saw it, and said with a smile: "Isn't there something on the slave's face, and the girl looks at me so uncomfortable."

"I just see if you have honey on your mouth, where is it so good, your young lady is accompanied by a girl like you, and it is also a lot easier."

"Sister, don't praise her, be careful that she is satisfied, one day she will change her mind and not serve her sister, but that is good, save her from chattering, my ears hurt when I heard it earlier." Ling'er took the opportunity to lead the topic to Nuo'er, which solved the embarrassment just now.

Mu Chenfeng sat aside for a while, watching a few girls eat grapes, and had nothing to say, so he wanted to get up and say goodbye. How did Hu Dieyi stand up at this time and said: "My sister is back now, but I have to be good and can't mess around, sister, I'm also tired, I should go back to see if Yu Nu has come back."

Ling'er hurriedly stood up and thanked him, and said to Mu Chenfeng: "Sister wants to go back, if it is convenient for Master Mu, please send it to me, I still feel very tired after a few days of walking."

Mu Chenfeng naturally knew Ling'er's intentions, so he didn't excuse himself and followed Hu Dieyi out of the door.

The two walked silently for a while, and Hu Dieyi saw that he had arrived at his door, so he said to Mu Chenfeng: "It's here, Young Master Mu wants to come in and sit." (To be continued.) )
