Chapter 22: Jade Skin Cream
At the beginning of Shen, the originally blue sky suddenly appeared with a large ink-colored dark cloud, as if it was about to fall. With the signs of a rainstorm to come.
The girls who came to Qi Mansion as guests said goodbye one after another under the urging of the maid's mother.
Qi Xuexin sent everyone all the way to the Hanging Flower Gate, and during this time, she was reluctant to hold Le Xi's hand.
Le Xiwaner, I don't know why I was so liked by Qi Xuexin. Before boarding the carriage, he repeatedly promised her that he would definitely invite her to Bofu to play, and Qi Xuexin waved her hand with a satisfied smile.
The carriages drove away from Qi Mansion, and Qi Xuexin ignored the persuasion of the maid and went to Lian's in the gloomy sky.
As soon as the front foot entered the main house, the rain poured down from the sky and fell on the roof and the ground, crackling.
"Mother, thanks to you for reminding me to invite Sister Xi to play, she painted the pattern of the pearl hairpin in front of us, I really opened my eyes today." Qi Xuexin's phoenix eyes smiled, and she shouted as soon as she entered the house.
Lian had just taken a lunch break, leaning lazily against the collapse of the magpie pomegranate pattern in Huanghuali, and laughed when he saw his daughter's happy face. Eyes full of love.
"Look, this is officially seeing people twice, and my sister is so intimate that she can't leave her mouth. How can you be so angry that you can do it with people last time? ”
In the face of Lian's joke, Qi Xuexin's face was slightly red, and she twisted. "That's not my daughter's stupidity, there's no next time. If the mother doesn't give advice, her daughter really can't turn her rivalry with Sister Xi, and her temperament is not as rumored. What a great guy to work with! ”
Seeing Qi Xuexin's youngest daughter's appearance, Lian no longer teased her, and said that since they got along, they would move around more, and the two mansions were already close to each other. I asked if I had sent anything I had prepared, and what I was playing today.
Qi Xuexin smiled and replied that it was all arranged, and remembered that her brother had robbed the boat, and complained to Lian.
The mother and daughter talked to themselves in the room.
Lexi who came out of Qi Mansion on that side, but after a three-third journey home, he encountered a pouring rain. The coachman became more and more anxious to rush back, Lexi listened to the sound of the rain knocking on the carport, and she was even more anxious to return home. Fidgeting with a handkerchief.
All the way back to Bofu, Xu's mother got Li's order and waited at the Hanging Flower Gate with an umbrella and a coat. Seeing Le Xi returning, he hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the robe, and the dressed Le Xi got out of the car with Qiu Ju's support. Surrounded by the maid and the mother-in-law, he walked quickly to Ronghui Courtyard.
In the Ronghui Courtyard, Le Shaoyuan of the previous dynasty has also returned home. When Le Xi entered the house, he saw that the couple were chatting about something, and the maids were all sent to the next room to do embroidery work.
"Daddy, mother, I'm back." Le Xi took off her robe, lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped into the house.
Li looked at her rain-soaked skirt and embroidered shoes, and was really frowning, and panicked to ask the maid to take her to change her wet clothes.
Le Xi has been pressing the matter of the boy in soap-colored clothes in his heart, how can he care about this, he sent the maid away and didn't even drink the tea that moistened his throat, and he told Le Shaoyuan and his wife what he saw in Qi Mansion.
Hearing that he saw someone who was suspected of being his son, Li was so excited that he almost dropped the tea bowl, and Le Shaoyuan also asked again and again. After Lexi described it again, he lowered his head and groaned.
"I will send someone to investigate this matter. These days, the guards are also asking if there are people who are missing, or who look alike. I've also heard a few, don't worry, I'll check them one by one. ”
After a while, Le Shaoyuan spoke. Just a few words, Lexi's excited mood instantly fell.
Things are the same, people are similar.
This capital is not small, Le Shaoyuan has looked for several in these days, who knows if his brother is not among them? Moreover, she only glanced at the person from a distance, and she didn't even figure out her identity.
I still cared about it, it was too boring, but fortunately I didn't ask Qi Xuexin. Otherwise, if a girl's family inquires about other sons-in-law, she may be misunderstood.
Thinking about it, Le Xi secretly calmed his mood and comforted the Li family, who was as lost as himself. Only then did he call Qiu Ju and retreat to the inner room to change out of wet dresses and shoes and socks.
When Le Xi came out again, he saw Le Shaoyuan holding a delicate multicolored ceramic box in his hand, listening to what Xu's mother was saying.
"Daddy, what is the ceramic box in your hand, it looks weird and beautiful." Le Xi stepped forward and stared curiously, and when his eyes swept away, he found that the gift box in Xu's mother's hand was a little familiar.
Le Shaoyan handed the thing to Le Xi, Le Xi opened it, and a fragrant smell suddenly lingered on the end of his nose.
"Is this a spice?" Looking at the crystal clear paste-like item, Le Xi asked with a wink.
At this time, Xu's mother replied with a smile. "My good girl, this is not a spice, it is a tribute that money cannot buy! It's called Jade Muscle Condensation Cream, which is a tribute from the outer domain, and there are only ten boxes a year! has the miraculous effect of removing scars and condensing skin, and it is basically rewarded to the masters in the palace! ”
This little grease actually came from such a big one?!
Le Xizheng listened to it and listened to Li's words again: "Mrs. Qi gave such a valuable thing, how can we accept it?" ”
"Take it, since it's an ointment to remove scars, Xiaoxi can use it. Inviting Xiao Xi to Qi Mansion today is mostly to deliver this thing to us. It should be for the second girl Qi to apologize for the incident, and also to make friends with the uncle's mansion. ”
Le Shaoyuan's mind flashed Qi Shangshu's eyes that were as deep as the sea and made people unable to figure out their emotions, and the glow crossed under his eyes, rubbing the jade wrench on his thumb.
Listening to the deeper words in it, Li pursed his lips, and then asked Xu's mother to put things away first. After the blood scab on Le Xi's forehead is completely peeled off, he will take it out and use it.
The pouring rain outside also gradually became dripping between the three of them talking.
Soon, the sound of the rain faded and the dark clouds dispersed. The rain-washed sky is blue, and the air smells of fresh earth.
Le Yan stepped on the still wet bluestone slab, and gave Le Shaoyuan and Li a blessing gift with a smile, and Le Yu also entered Ronghui Courtyard after a while, with a cold feeling between his eyebrows.
Le Xi didn't want to pay attention to Le Yan, nor did he want to provoke his brother, who was dissatisfied with him in the morning, so he simply went out of the main house and went to the small room where the maid was doing embroidery work on the side, and was engrossed in the contact he wanted to give to Yu's.
It wasn't until dinner was passed that the Li family sent Chunya to come, and Le Xi accepted the work. Wash your hands and return to the main house.
While eating, Le Xi was so frightened that his hand holding the bowl trembled three times when he was given a chopstick dish to himself. Curious, he secretly glanced at him, and found that he still didn't like to take care of himself, so Lexi had to bury his head in the food. I didn't have a taste for it......
