Chapter 140
In the second half, Li Junran didn't wait too long, and Yuzhu next to Miss Cheng Fu appeared in front of Li Junran.
"This should be the old lady of the Li family, the slave maid is Yuzhu next to the eldest lady, Yuzhu has seen the old lady of the Li family." Yuzhu's body leaned forward slightly, and he made a normal salute when he saw a guest. Li Cuishi was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately turned sideways to avoid Yuzhu's salute, and then followed back a regular salute that was not standard.
Although Li Cui's is a common man, and Yuzhu is just a slave who sells herself as a slave to serve others, Yuzhu gives Li Cui's salute and Li Cui's doesn't need to return the gift at all. But as the old saying goes, there are seven officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't look at it as just a little slave and maid who serves people in the prime minister's mansion, it's even more unbearable than a seventh-grade official. Although there are untrue and even exaggerated effects in the words, it also shows from a certain aspect that those little slaves and maids who are close to the big people are also a force to be reckoned with. Otherwise, there would not be such a thing as "beating the dog to see the owner" and "dog fighting the human power".
Of course, Li Cui's chose not to say anything, and returned the gift, more for the sake of Li Junran's little granddaughter. Don't forget that Li Junran's identity is the same as that Yuzhu at this time, Li Cui's is not willing to inadvertently offend some people because of his behavior, and even his well-behaved and filial little granddaughter, and even Li Cui's is thinking about whether to secretly stuff some copper plates and make a little bit, so that Yuzhu can take care of his little granddaughter in Cheng's mansion.
Regarding Li Cui's actions, although Yuzhu didn't show it on his face, he couldn't help but look up to Li Cui's by a few points in his heart, and even slightly changed his impression of Li Junran, a girl of the same level who was dumbfounded all day.
"Miss Fang Cai heard that the old lady of the Li family is here. He specially beckoned the slave and maid to come over, and wanted to invite the old lady of the Li family into the house for a cup of tea. ”
Li Cuishi looked at Li Junran beside him in surprise. found that his little granddaughter still maintained that dull expression, and he was not sure how to answer for a while.
In fact. Li Junran was not as calm as she appeared, and she was still panicked in the bottom of her heart. According to Li Junran's original plan, Cheng Yuyan knew that she couldn't take out the medicinal oil in the first place, and most of them would send her most trusted cronies such as Mama Xia to come over to inquire, and maybe secretly send someone to Lijiatun to make sure again, according to her identity, she would not come forward to inquire about this matter in person. But I don't want to surprise Li Junran this time. I just don't know if this exception is an occasional whim, or is it a ......
"Yuzhu girl, the old woman is just a country mud leg, and she has never seen much of the world."
"The old woman of the Li family is fine. Our eldest lady is the most kind-hearted. If you don't believe the old woman of the Li family, ask your little granddaughter Qiliu. "Don't look at Yuzhu's age, how can you really not see Li Cui's concerns. It's just that her eldest lady Cheng Yuyan told her to do this, which is a trivial matter, if she can't even do such a simple thing, wouldn't it seem that she is very incompetent?
Li Junran also heard the meaning of Yuzhu's words, and naturally understood that Li Cui's trip to Chengfu was a must-go. Cheng Zhang's and Cheng Yuyan want to calculate her life, which Li Junran is almost certain. But before she acted, she was okay with her, or Li Cui's. There shouldn't be any danger to her life, at most I'm worried about whether she will be pinched and coerced by Li Cui's family. If Cheng Zhang's and Cheng Yuyan really do this to involve the Li Cui family and even the Li family, she is not a soft persimmon that everyone can handle. It's a big deal, the fish dies and the net is broken, one life for two lives!
"Grandma. The eldest lady is very good to the seven girls, and will give the seven girls a lot of delicious food. ”
"No wonder the old woman looks at the seven girls and seems to have grown taller and fatter again." Li Cuishi smiled and reached out to pinch Li Junran's cheek, and then there was a little more embarrassment on his face. After looking around very carefully, he secretly took out a few big characters and stuffed them into Yuzhu's hand. He lowered his voice and said, "Yuzhu girl." The old woman really hasn't seen anything in the world, if you don't do well for a while, please give the old woman a reminder. The old woman thanked Miss Yuzhu here. ”
Before the words fell, Li Cuishi made a gesture to salute Yuzhu. Where did Yuzhu dare to accept Li Cui's copper coin, Li Cui's gift was even more daring to bear, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Cui's and said with a smile: "The old lady of the Li family, aren't you folding Yuzhu's birthday." You are Qiliu's own grandmother, Yuzhu and Qiliu are serving the eldest lady in Cheng's mansion together, and when it comes to seniority, aren't you also Yuzhu's elders. You can rest assured that the eldest lady is kind-hearted, just ask as a rule, and care about us little girls who are waiting by her side. If there is really any rudeness, Yuzhu will definitely help you say a few kind words. ”
Seeing Yuzhu say this, Li Cui's most important thing was that he didn't see any reaction from his little granddaughter standing beside him, although he still had no bottom in his heart, he finally relaxed a little. Xu wanted to be more at ease, but Li Cuishi didn't plan to take back the big characters he took out, and he said that he would stuff them into Yuzhu. Yuzhu pushed a few times, but finally accepted it.
Five big characters are equivalent to fifty copper plates, although it is not much, in the end, you can buy several beautiful silk flowers, or a box of mid-range rouge that is not too bad.
Li Cui followed Yuzhu, passed through the corner gate, and walked along the cobblestone stone road in the direction of Jing Yaxuan. Yuzhu led Li Cui's and Li Junran on a small road, although the distance was not close, and even took a long detour, but it was better in the middle of nowhere. On weekdays, because most of them are slaves, they don't meet many irrelevant people.
Obviously, Cheng Yuyan didn't want too many people to know that she had seen Li Cui's family.
Although Yuzhu has been leading the way, he will still inadvertently look back at Li Cuishi out of curiosity. found that Li Cui's had been walking all the way, and he had been keeping his head down and rarely looked around, and he couldn't help but have a little more admiration for Li Cui's in his heart. Although Li Cui's is a country woman, she doesn't have those who are also mud legs outside, but she likes to look around and talk a lot, which is actually very rare.
After Yuzhu took Li Cuishi and Li Junran through the crescent moon gate, they came to a water pavilion corridor. Far away, Cheng Yuyan was sitting in the pavilion of the water pavilion. Li Junran couldn't help but give Cheng Yuyan a thumbs up. The corridor of the water pavilion where she is now is built on a lotus pond.
The lotus pond is surrounded by water on three sides, and the pond is full of lotus flowers, and there are many big red koi fish in the pond. If it's summer, it's a good place to cool off and watch the lotus. It's just that it's late autumn now, and some of them are just lotus leaves that have begun to wither in the pond, with the autumn breeze outside.
However, Li Junran can understand why Cheng Yuyan chose here. The only entrance and exit of the entire water pavilion corridor is the crescent gate that she just passed through, and there are no bystanders nearby who can see it at a glance, it is indeed a good place to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.
"Slave maid Yuzhu has seen the eldest lady." Yuzhu took the lead in saluting Cheng Yuyan, who was sitting in the pavilion, although Li Junran was still a beat slower, but she still didn't dare to cut corners.
"Nanaliu has seen the eldest lady."
Li Cuishi waited for Yuzhu to finish saluting his little granddaughter before taking a step forward. It's just that Li Cui's did not kowtow to Cheng Yuyan, but bowed slightly and performed a regular salute. The voice is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Old woman Li Cuishi, see the eldest lady of the Cheng Mansion."
"The mother-in-law of the Li family is exempt. Xiao Qi, why don't you hurry up and move a round stool? ”
There are only stone tables and chairs in the gazebo, and soft cushions are placed at the door. Although the stone chair is not fixed, it is also a bulky thing, and the rough mother-in-law who is used as a coolie man in the backyard has to take some effort to move it alone, not to mention Li Junran's small body with small arms and legs. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Li Junran can really move those stone chairs, is it possible that Li Cui's really dares to sit down? If you want to sit on that stone chair, you must at least be on an equal footing with Cheng Yuyan, or even have a higher status than her.
Therefore, Cheng Yuyan asked Li Junran to move the stool for Li Cui's to sit on, with only one purpose, that is, to support Li Junran. Li Junran was naturally unwilling to let Li Cui's out of her sight, and continued to stupidly try to move those stone benches. And Li Cui's self-aware identity, he didn't want his little granddaughter to be tired, so he waved his hand again and again:
"I can't help it, but the old woman is still standing, standing and listening to the eldest lady."
"It's okay." Fortunately, Cheng Yuyan didn't insist too much. (To be continued......)
