Chapter 55: Ascending the Mountain to Worship Ancestors
In the blink of an eye, the day of going up the mountain to worship the ancestors is coming, this day.
In the hall, "Old lady, the daughter-in-law has already arranged the trip." Lei lowered his head and made a cup of tea for the old lady, in the past, things in the house were arranged by her, but recently the old lady has a lot of prejudices against her, so Lei has to ask for instructions everywhere to show his respect for the old lady.
"Hmm." The old lady's fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, signaling her to put it down, her eyes always fell lightly on the hall, and she didn't even give Lei a straight face, which made her feel a little worried.
"It is a big deal to worship ancestors in the Hou Mansion, so the daughter-in-law arranged the same carriage for the young ladies and young masters, I don't know what the mother wants?" Lei's eyebrows were smiling, and he looked extremely gentle.
When the old lady heard this, she glanced at Lei's family, "Whatever you want, since you have decided, don't ask me." The tone was as detached as ever, with a bit of deep meaning, Lei's body stiffened slightly, and the smile on her face immediately froze. The daughter-in-law went to arrange other matters first. With that, Lei got up and saluted.
"Hmm." The old lady closed her eyes slightly, and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth made her feel a little weak.
His own arrangement should be seamless, just wait for today, he can get rid of those two thorns in his eye. Lei Shi warned herself in her heart that she must be calm and composed, just out of the old lady's door, her steps were a little anxious, the corner of her eyes observed the surroundings, but her face had to pretend to be calm.
In the deserted garden, the breeze blows, with a little coolness.
Lei's eyes shone with a cold light, looking at the rippling lake, and in front of him was a sour-looking housekeeper, "Are you ready to explain your affairs?" ”
The family's fine eyes swept around before he nodded, "Madame, don't worry, the servant has replaced Miss Six's coachman with a distant relative in the countryside, and he promises that after doing this, he will take the silver and fly away, and he will never reveal half a cent." The first time to update the time, just waiting for the lady to arrange. ”
Hearing this, Lei Shi smiled proudly, but she suddenly remembered something, "The bandit didn't say anything more, did he?" ”
Jia Ding smiled, "Madame gave so much silver, the bandit naturally knows what to do." ”
"Well, that's very good." Lei's eyes lit up, "That's right. ”
"What do you command, Madame?"
"Arrange for a crony to go to the cheap girl's carriage and keep an eye on it, remember, don't be discovered, let him take a good look at whether the cheap girl and the two maids have eaten the pastries we prepared!" When Lei said the word pastry, his eyes were filled with coldness. Be the first to update
"Yes, ma'am." The family stooped and retreated.
Early the next morning, the entire Hou Mansion began to get busy.
"What? The fifth aunt suddenly felt unwell and didn't go to worship her ancestors? When Lei Shi heard the news, his mood suddenly became gloomy. What did the old lady say? ”
"This is what Master Hou meant, I want the fifth aunt to rest in the Hou Mansion." The family on the side replied.
Lei Shi shook the hand in his sleeve angrily, it was really hateful, he wasted this great opportunity in vain, forget it, let's solve that cheap girl first.
……
There was a long queue at the door, and there were more than a dozen luxurious golden carriages to worship the ancestors, and at the back of the procession were boxes of prepared wine and food. More and faster chapters are here.
Before getting into the car, Seventh Miss Liu Yunyao suddenly walked in the direction of Yun Shu with a smile.
"Miss, it's Miss Seven." Yu'er saw that it was Yun Yao, so she moved closer to Yun Shu vigilantly. She won't forget what Miss Seven did to her family last time, and Miss Seven has been at peace for a while since the last incident, so why does it seem like it's all right now.
Yun Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't be nervous. However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Liu Yunli, who was standing with Liu Yunhua not far away, staring closely in their direction.
"Sixth sister, this is a pastry that Yun Yao has carefully prepared for you, we have a long way to go, Yun Yao is worried that my sister will be hungry on the way, so eating the pastry is a good supplement for the body. More and faster chapters are here. Her voice was sweet, but Yun Shu still heard a bit of reluctance. Yun Yao stretched out his hand and lifted the bamboo basket in his hand, and ten exquisite pastries appeared in front of him.
Yun Shu didn't answer, just looked at the little woman in front of her quietly.
Yun Yao felt weak in her heart, but when she remembered what the fourth sister had explained, she mustered up her courage, "Sixth sister, what happened last time was not good for Yun Yao, I hope that the sixth sister will not be angry with Yun Yao and accept these pastries." As she spoke, her eyes immediately turned red, as if tears would fall at any moment, and her eyes were full of endless remorse, as if she had been wronged.
Yu'er and Chunxiang on the side glanced at each other, this seventh lady is so strange, so will Miss accept this pastry or not?
Liu Yunhua in the distance gritted her teeth, this Yun Yao is really useless, she hasn't seen that cheap girl move for so long, if she doesn't accept the pastry, how can they act in this play?!
The anxious two people over there fell into Yun Shu's eyes, she smiled faintly, and reached out to take the basket in Yun Yao's hand, "Seventh sister, I'll take a few pastries, and you can take the rest back." Don't cry, we're going to worship our ancestors, you cry before you go, and when you see it, you think the sixth sister is bullying you. ”
And at this time, Young Master Xi ran over out of nowhere, and when he saw Yun Shu, he shouted loudly, "Sixth sister, I want to play with you!" ”
Hearing Young Master Xi's voice, Yun Shu looked over, with a little helplessness in her tone, "Young Master Xi run slowly, the ground is slippery in the morning, you don't have to fall." ”
"What are you afraid of, my mother said, a manly man, there is nothing to be afraid of, if I really fall, I will get up again." As he spoke, Young Master Xi looked manly, and reached out to pat his chest.
This appearance amused the people around him, but Liu Yunyao took a step back and looked back at Liu Yunli's direction, as if to say what should I do?
"This useless girl, let her not always look back, it will make Yun Shu suspicious!" Liu Yunhua hated the tone of iron and steel, and didn't care that Liu Yunli next to him was Yun Yao's sister, and didn't give her any face.
“…… Yes, Yun Yao is indeed not in trouble. Yun Li smiled awkwardly.
Just as he was talking to Yun Shu, suddenly, Young Master Xi saw a delicate small box in Yun Yao's hand, so he leaned over curiously, "Sister Yun Yao, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
"......" Yun Yao's face was a little unnatural, she didn't dare to offend this second aunt's sweetheart, besides, he was disdainful when he saw himself on weekdays, so he came to join in the excitement today, "It's nothing, just some pastries." Be the first to update"
"Pastry?" Young Master Xi usually likes to eat pastries the most, and the second lady often makes them for him by herself, and this trip is no exception, "Let me see, is there any delicious food prepared for me by my mother?" ”
After that, without waiting for Yun Yao to react, he stepped forward and lifted the Jinpa that Yun Yao covered on the pastry.
"Ah, how is it colorful, it looks so delicious!"
Yun Yao bit her lip, "Yes, yes, it's all kinds of fruit flavors." ”
Could it be that he thought......
Sure enough, in the next second, Young Master Xi stared at her expectantly, "Sister Yun Yao, I like your pastries so much, can I exchange them with you that my mother made for me?" ”
"No, you can't!" Yun Yao blurted out without thinking about it, but when she just finished saying this, she regretted it, and there were a lot of puzzled glances around her.
Yun Shu on the side bent down with a light smile and gently stroked the top of Young Master Xi's hair, "Young Master Xi, don't be naughty, if you want to eat, the sixth sister's is for you." ”
This scared Yun Yao a lot, she hurriedly stepped forward to block it, "Don't, Sixth Sister, Yun Yao should exchange her and Young Master Xi, these pastries were prepared by Yun Yao for Sixth Sister, anyway, there is still leftover, give it to Young Master Xi." ”
"Really?" Hearing such a result, Young Master Xi blinked his eyes happily, and as soon as he shouted, a maid trotted over with a small basket in his hand.
"Of course, here you go." Yun Yao was afraid that Yun Shu would regret it, so she hurriedly handed the pastry in her hand to Young Master Xi and exchanged the basket in her hand with the maid.
"Great, Sixth Sister, then when we go up the mountain, Cheng Xi will come to play with you again!" Young Master Xi held the small box, and his two eyes smiled into a slit.
Looking at Young Master Xi's happy appearance, Yun Yao secretly thought in her heart, what are you afraid of? At best, there is a little ** in this pastry, and Young Master Xi eats it just to sleep a little more, and it is not in the way. At most, people are misunderstood because he is tired from walking on the mountain road, and he is asleep.
As long as he completes the things assigned by the fourth sister, thinking of this, Yun Yao walked in the direction of Liu Yunli with palpitations.
"Go back to your carriage, we're leaving." Yun Shu reached out and touched Young Master Xi's head, and smiled warmly.
"Hmm." Young Master Xi regained his usual expression at this moment, which was a little different from Fang Cai's innocent appearance.
After settling down for a while, the Hou Mansion and his party went on the road in a mighty way.
As soon as Young Master Xi stepped into his carriage, he was surrounded by a warm embrace.
"Xi'er, is it done?" The second lady kissed Young Master Xi's forehead affectionately, and her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, as if she was hugging the most precious treasure in the world.
The young man writhed mischievously in the arms of the second lady, "Hehe, Xi'er can definitely do what her mother orders, as long as she can help Sister Shu." ”
As he spoke, Young Master Xi took out the pastry in his hand, his big eyes flashed innocent, "Mother, Xi'er really likes Sister Yunshu, Xi'er thinks she is the best person in the world except for her father and mother." ”
"Look at you ghost, don't make trouble for your sister Shu!"
"Not really!" Liu Chengxi's small mouth hung high. "But, mother, are those people going to embarrass Sister Shu again?"
"Don't worry, your sister Shu is very smart."
The second lady lifted the curtain, looked at the slowly moving team, and asked Xi'er to change Yun Yao's pastries, in fact, it was what she meant, the situation of the sixth lady in the Changrong Marquis Mansion was really dangerous, she had saved Xi'er before, and she had to protect her no matter what.
Outside the carriage, a family member nodded at the second lady and walked towards Liu Yunyao's carriage. You know, it's not just the Lei family who knows how to monitor.
