Chapter 33: Wang's Search
The next day, Lexi woke up to the crisp sound of birds.
Looking at the green double-embroidered flower and butterfly yarn tent, she slowly propped herself up.
Yesterday, Li said that she didn't have to get up early, and she would still rest if she hurt her foot, and she would explain it to Yu.
Since she came here, she has not slept well until this hour for a long time, and now she is very satisfied, and she feels more refreshed.
Hearing the movement, Dongmei, who was guarding the side, immediately stepped forward to raise the curtain, put the big welcome pillow behind her and said with a smile: "The girl is awake, the uncle has gone to the court, and the lady has gone to Wufuyuan to ask for peace... Counting the time, it's time to go back. ”
Le Xi nodded, Dongmei instructed the little maid on the side to fetch water, and Mother Li opened the bead curtain and came in to see Le Xi squinting and smiling.
"The girl is up, does it still hurt in her shoulders? I'll give you the medicine and then wash up, and the little novice will have to wait for the hour. ”
Hearing this, Le Xi raised his arm lightly, and found that it was no longer as painful as yesterday. The originally cautious and shining expression instantly relaxed, and a shallow smile hung on his lips. "The effect of the medicine is really divine, I don't think it hurts much."
Mother Li's face was overjoyed when she heard this, and she recited the Buddha's horn in her mouth because she had met a monk, and then gave Le Xi good medicine with the help of Dongmei. and waited for Lexi to freshen up.
The party was just done when there was a noise outside.
Lexi looked out, the bead curtain collided and made a crisp sound, and Li's figure walked around the screen. His face was not abnormal, but his lips were slightly pursed, and Le Xi immediately knew that Li was angry. She pursed her lips like this when she was angry.
"Why did you sit up, does the injury still hurt?" Li stepped forward quickly, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked with concern.
"Third sister."
"Third sister..."
As soon as he opened his mouth to answer, Lexi heard a few more calls coming from the screen.
Looking up, the girls in the second and third rooms were all together.
Le Xi glanced at Li again, and when she saw that she had no other reaction, she knew that these people were coming back with her. Hurriedly smiled and greeted: "As soon as I woke up, I listened to the chirping of the happy birds, it turned out that the sisters were coming." ”
Several girls laughed when they heard this, and Le Xin took the lead and stepped forward. "My sister's mouth is honey in the morning, look at this sweet."
"Third sister, I wanted to come yesterday, but my mother didn't let me, for fear of disturbing my sister's rest. Are you feeling better? If it weren't for me, the third sister wouldn't have fallen..."Le Yao also stepped forward, with an uneasy look, and looked at Li timidly after speaking.
Le Xi looked at her uneasiness in her eyes, and secretly said in her heart, isn't it because of this that the Li family is angry? But she didn't notice on Li's face that she was dissatisfied with Qi Yao.
"That's my sister's business, it's no wonder that Miss Chen didn't go steady, you were also implicated."
"It would be good if the fourth sister should be farther away at that time, so that she would not be dragged down by the Chen family's sister, and the third sister would not be injured." Le Wan also squeezed to the bed, blinking a pair of big eyes, looking innocent.
Le Yao listened, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she looked at Le Xi guiltily.
Le Xi is slightly invisible, Zou Mei, is this Le Wan just a child's words?
After seeing Le Yan's two faces and three knives, Le Xi didn't dare to underestimate these young ladies in the boudoir, but she could look at Le Wan's clear eyes. He secretly said that he was once bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
After collecting other thoughts, Le Xi beckoned to Le Yao, letting her get closer to her, and reached out to pinch her white and tender cheeks. "You see, I'm not very good, I can raise my hand and pinch people. In a few days, I'll be able to draw you a pattern, and I'll be able to promise you a while. ”
The Li family on the side also followed: "Your third sister didn't blame you, silly girl, don't cry, when you cry, others don't know that your third sister has wronged you." ”
The two persuaded each other like this, and Le Yao smiled.
Mother Xu came in here and asked the girls if they had breakfast here. When a few people heard this, they waved their hands again and again, and the third sister was still injured and couldn't make trouble for the eldest aunt anymore.
After speaking, he rushed out to Li and Le Xi.
Le Xin, who was behind the two people, turned around before reaching the screen, and stepped forward to bend his knees deeply at Li, with uneasiness on his face. "Auntie, don't take your mother's words to heart. Mother is such a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted character, you can bear more. ”
After speaking, Le Xin saw that Li Shi looked at her in surprise, and hurriedly explained: "This should not have been said by my junior, but this is my brother's confession, and the Tao is that my father is not here today, so he has to trespass." ”
Li smiled after hearing this, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly. "I know what your brother means. Go back, slow down on the road. ”
Seeing this, Le Xinfang bent his knees again and left quickly.
Le Xi asked suspiciously, "What did the second aunt say in Wufuyuan that was not good?" ”
Li's smile disappeared in an instant, and his face was uneasy. "When did she say something nice? It's even worse today! As he spoke, his eyes fell on Le Xi's forehead, and he turned his head and instructed Mother Li to bring the ice muscle cream before continuing. Le Yan had a fever last night, and she didn't know why the maid next to her begged her doctor. As soon as I arrived at Wufuyuan, I made a good meal of this matter and insinuated that I was superficially virtuous, but now the concubine is sick but I have not seen it. I want her to worry about an aunt. ”
Le Xi opened her mouth wide when she heard this, and she was thinking about why Le Yan was sick again, it was a new trick. I heard Li's indignation again: "Forget it like this, and say that autumn is about to be, why hasn't there been a letter to make autumn clothes in the house until now, how was it in previous years." Isn't this taking eye medicine in front of that person, trying to say that I am in charge of things?! ”
"Madam, you really can't be angry with the merchant's daughter, that second lady has always been such a trouble-provoking thorn. Last year, Mrs. was not too early, but she said that the latest brocade cloth had not yet arrived in Beijing, and she had done it at this time, and she would not be able to catch up with the fashion. Everything she said was justified. "Mother Xu, who went and returned, had disdain in her eyes." It's just that because the family is richer, when the Bofu encounters difficulties, she takes out a handful of silver, and thinks that she has gained face, and shows her copper smell all over her body every day. What's more, those gangs are only the third masters, and our big house never owes her any favors. Besides, when will Bofu be dictated by the wife of one of her concubines! ”
It turned out that the Wang family had also helped Sanfang, and although the Yu family did not like the Wang family, it was not too obvious. Le Xi was about to nod, but his forehead was lightly poked by Li, and said that she should not move, it is important to put on a good ointment.
As a last resort, Lexi sat up straight again. "Since she is such a person, mother, don't take it to heart at all, don't be angry with yourself. That... Is Le Yan really sick? ”
"I'm still sick, and I say it's nonsense. Hey, do you see if the girl's scar is lighter? Li carefully wiped the transparent plaster and called Xu's mother a few people.
Mother Xu and the others looked at it seriously, and they were all shallow, and the corners of Li's eyes and eyebrows were dyed with some smiles. "It seems to be working."
Handing the ointment back to Dongmei, Li turned his head and instructed Lexi. "By the way, I'll go back to the Li Mansion in a while, you stay obediently and don't move around."
Le Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, why was it so sudden.
