187 to 188 (two changes in one)
Hearing the knock on the door, the people inside quickly quieted down, and Zhou Xiaofu instantly sensed it with her mental power, it was this guy.
It was Li Ranqiu, who was supposed to rest in the guest room of the outer courtyard, and this guy was so bold that he actually ran to his cousin's boudoir!
With the knock on the door, none of the maids sleeping in the outside room answered the door.
heard something faintly said inside, and soon Wang Errong opened the door of the room and welcomed Zhou Xiaofu, who was angry, in.
Knocking on the door like this, the maid couldn't even hear it, this guy was blowing some kind of drug.
Some of them were angry and went directly into Wang Errong's bedroom, and when they entered the door, they saw that there was no one inside.
Zhou Xiaofu sat on the bed angrily, and Wang Errong came over with a sheep's horn lamp with a not very good face, and said apologetically: "Cousin, I'm sorry, this mother-in-law is asleep, so." β
Zhou Xiaofu glanced at her cousin, who couldn't even lie, and suddenly said helplessly: "Let people come out, it just so happens that I have something to tell you." β
Wang Errong was stunned, and looked at Zhou Xiaofu for some reason, what is this cousin talking about, let people come out, how did she know.
Just when she was a little anxious, a man in a black cloak stepped out from behind the screen.
The light is too dim to see very clearly, but you can recognize this person at a glance as Li Ranqiu, which will see Zhou Xiaofu's expression a little sneering.
Originally, he wanted to come over and ask this Wang Errong what he had to say, but in order to make it easier for the two of them to talk, he blew smoke into each room before he came in, but before he could say anything, someone came to knock on the door.
Originally, I wanted to hide in the house for a while, and then come out when the people left, who would have thought that when people came, they would find him in the house, and they were afraid that they had heard a voice in the house just now?
He knew that such behavior was simply rude, and ran to the room of an unmarried woman in the middle of the night.
Zhou Xiaofu glanced at Li Ranqiu, who was a little embarrassed, and nodded, "Sit down, I have something to say." β
Wang Errong saw that his cousin didn't mention what he had lied about just now, and he was also a little embarrassed, he was still wearing a coat, and he was still facing this foreign man, and he suddenly blushed.
Under the dim light, Zhou Xiaofu looked at her cousin's red face and looked at her clothes, frowned, and said, "Cousin, go to bed first." β
Wang Errong suddenly felt embarrassed to dress like this, so he quickly put down the croissant lamp in his hand, climbed onto the bed, and pulled up the quilt to cover half of his body.
After Zhou Xiaofu saw that Li Ranqiu had also found a place to sit down, she looked this person up and down, and saw that this person's eyebrows and eyes were very good, but his complexion was darker.
After thinking about it for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Ranqiu: "I talked to you halfway today, but after I came back, my grandfather kept asking, what did I say, I was really forced to helpless, so I said that you are going to propose to your cousin after a while." β
Zhou Xiaofu said directly to Li Ranqiu.
Rao is no matter how big Li Ranqiu is, his face is red in the face of such a problem.
Wang Errong on the bed suddenly asked anxiously after hearing this: "Cousin, you won't tell your father that he hid with me for a night, right?" "If that's the case, my father will go straight to the guest room and beat him to death.
Zhou Xiaofu looked at the girl's outgoing cousin, sighed and said: "No, I just said that you went to the Mazu Temple to offer incense and met Li Gongzi by chance, but as a result, Li Gongzi asked if you would like to marry him, and then said that you had never known each other before, and the first time we met was at the wedding of the Hu family." β
Then Zhou Xiaofu told the two of them in detail about some of the content she had tampered with.
Seeing that neither of them answered, Zhou Xiaofu said to Li Ranqiu, who was sitting opposite: "Tomorrow, my grandfather will definitely ask you, why did you break into the General's Mansion at night, you have to think about how to answer." β
Li Ranqiu was stunned for a moment, they already knew? How could it be, why didn't you ask anything when you knew it, and let them continue.
Zhou Xiaofu said lightly: "You are not only in the General's Mansion, but also in the study of the Zhou Mansion, I don't know what you are looking for, what you want is bright, is it good to be sneaky like this." β
Zhou Xiaofu didn't wait for the shocked person to answer, so she said directly: "I'm leaving, please wake up your cousin's maid before you leave, otherwise it will be troublesome if your uncle knows, and be careful when you go back, today you are a guest in the house, and your uncle has sent additional people to patrol nearby." β
What does this mean, when you come to the house as a guest, you will send more people? Do you have such a bad reputation? Li Ranqiu suddenly felt bad.
How did she know that the maid in this room was stunned by herself? It's weird.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiaofu nodded at Wang Errong and went out directly.
It's cold and windy at night, and Zhou Xiaofu, who is walking in the wind and snow, doesn't care what these people are looking for, as for how he answers, it's all his business, and it has nothing to do with her.
Soon back in the courtyard, I saw a small lamp in the living room, and Qingbi was still sitting cross-legged on her couch as always, practicing breathing.
As soon as Zhou Xiaofu entered the door, Qingbi opened her eyes instantly, stepped forward to help take off the big dart outside, and said, "Miss, do you want to use some snacks." β
Zhou Xiaofu shook her head and said, "No need, eat when you come back, bring me some water, wash and sleep, I can't leave tomorrow, I can't leave the morning after tomorrow." β
After hearing this, Qingbi hurriedly went to the ear room and carried the small kettle squatting on the stove and brought water to Zhou Xiaofu.
Zhou Xiaofu simply scrubbed and fell asleep.
And Wang Errong's side stared at each other for a long time, Li Ranqiu had no experience in getting along with girls since he was a child.
Li Ranqiu coughed embarrassedly before saying, "Your grandfather, they already knew?" β
Wang Errong was on the bed, pulled the quilt on his body and said carefully: "I also told my cousin about your plan to propose marriage two days ago, and my cousin said that you came to the study in the house three times and twice to rummage for things, and then the grandfathers already knew, but they never said it." β
Li Ranqiu's already dark face became even darker, I thought they were doing it unconsciously, but I didn't expect that people would already know about it.
Wang Errong suddenly thought that he was looking for him to ask questions, and immediately said, "That, what are you looking for?" β
Seeing the girl asking, Dye Qiu hesitated for a while before saying, "It's a codex." β
Wang Errong said curiously: "Then how do you know that you are in our mansion." β
Li Ranqiu explained embarrassedly: "This codex has been divided into more than a dozen copies and added to the book, we inquired, these books happened to be bought by your house, so we will look for them." β
Li Ranqiu's answer was half-true, but he also told most of the truth.
Wang Errong is a simple-minded woman, and after asking the question, she will not bother with the "answer" case, as long as she is not doing evil.
Li Ranqiu said with some curiosity: "Your cousin is very strange? How does she know everything? How could your grandfather tell her all this? β
Wang Errong thought for a while before saying: "That's the case, my cousin really wants to have a very powerful master, and my grandfather needs the help of my cousin's master, so I often need my cousin to pass the word, so my cousin knows a lot of things." β
Li Ranqiu nodded before saying, "No wonder, this afternoon my carriage crashed into your grandfather's carriage, and your cousin got off the carriage behind." β
Only then did Wang Errong understand that his cousin said that in order to pass on a message to her in the afternoon, his grandfather knew about it.
Wang Errong asked a little nervously: "The carriage was hit?" Are you hurt? β
Li Ranqiu's dark face turned black and purple, and he said a little shyly: "No, it's just that the carriage broke down, so I took the carriage in your house to return to Jindu, and then I heard your cousin say that you have something to do with me, so I told the old general that I wanted to stay overnight, and by the way, I asked you what you were looking for me." β
Wang Errong suddenly felt very sweet in his heart when he heard this.
The two stayed awkwardly for a while, and then Li Ranqiu took out a paper bag from his arms and put it on the machine on the side and said: "You put this in the incense burner and light it, and your maid and wife will wake up, it's okay not to order, but it will get up later tomorrow." β
After saying that, he got up and took his leave. When he went out, he closed Wang Errong's door tightly.
Wang Errong covered his red face and lay on the bed alone, thinking a lot.
The next morning.
On the morning of the eighth day of the new year, the goose-like snow covered the entire Jindu, and it snowed in the nearby prefectures and counties, both on the ground and on the houses.
In the morning, the snow stopped, and the sun was shining brightly on the snow.
Zhou Xiaofu was woken up by the sound of cleaning outside in the morning, and turned her head to look at the newly replaced carbon basin in the middle of the room, which was red, obviously someone had added fire to her in the middle of the night.
The room was also warm, Zhou Xiaofu turned her head and hugged the pillow and continued to squint, she was too tired in the past two days.
There is nothing to do this morning, you can sleep a little, and my uncle and brothers will only take the energy beads after lunch.
She fell asleep all at once, and when she woke up again, she saw Qingbi taking her clothes and putting them on the head of her bed.
Zhou Xiaofu stretched her waist and said, "Do you have anything to eat, I'm starving." β
Qingbi smiled and said, "You slept well today, and there was a word from the big kitchen that said when you would get up and when you would bring food." β
Zhou Xiaofu reached out and took the middle coat at the head of the bed and put it on, she was not used to being served by others closely, like taking a bath or something, she still liked to do it herself.
After getting dressed and washing, Qingbi stepped forward to comb Zhou Xiaofu's hair, Qingbi was a dead soldier before, and she was really not good at combing her hair, far inferior to Cui HuΔ and Zining.
Yesterday, Zhou Xiaofu's hair was combed by the little girl in the house, which made Zhou Xiaofu see Qingbi's embarrassed look, and she was stunned with the comb, and immediately hurriedly said: "Qingbi, you go and help me go to the big kitchen and say, let's go directly to lunch, it's all ordered, and I won't eat any breakfast." β
When Qingbi heard this, she immediately felt liberated, put down her comb, and hurried to the kitchen to settle down and eat.
Zhou Xiaofu glanced at Qingbi, who was leaving quickly, and smiled, but it still didn't work after combing it for a long time, alas, this hairstyle was troublesome in ancient times, in fact, it was troublesome to comb it, and it was also troublesome to dismantle, and it would take a long time to sleep at night.
And to style your hair, you have to apply a lot of hair oil.
When I went to the hall, I saw a little maid wiping the table, Zhou Xiaofu asked a maid who could comb her hair to come and comb her hair, and the little maid quickly took the order and went out to find a slightly older daughter-in-law to come in, and the daughter-in-law respectfully asked Zhou Xiaofu what kind of hairstyle she wanted.
Zhou Xiaofu thought about it and said directly that it would be okay to have a simple round bun, there was still something to do at noon today, and she had to stay in the backyard all the time, and it was too uncomfortable to comb her hair that was too complicated.
This daughter-in-law was very fast, and after a little smearing of tea, she combed Zhou Xiaofu's round hair in a smooth bun.
I found some huΔdian in Zhou Xiaofu's jewelry box and inserted it.
Qingbi came back at this time, and when she saw that Zhou Xiaofu had found someone to comb her hair, she was a little embarrassed and said, "Fourth Miss, I arranged lunch for you, and I will send it in a while." β
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "Well, give this aunt a reward first, you are not here, I was in a hurry to comb my hair, so I found someone." β
Zhou Xiaofu said this deliberately, deliberately saving some face for Qingbi in front of others.
Qingbi heard Zhou Xiaofu say this, her face was a little red, she took a small purse from the side drawer and handed it to the daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law took the purse and saluted with a smile and went out of the room.
Qingbi was a little embarrassed when she saw that there was no one: "Fourth Miss, when the slave goes back, she must learn to comb her hair." β
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "No, you're not here to comb my hair, don't care about these small details, and I won't comb my hair, what's so strange about this." β
Qingbi smiled and went out to prepare the dishes and chopsticks.
Soon the lunch was delivered, there was a large pot of white radish and duck soup, with Cordyceps, the stew was fragrant, Zhou Xiaofu didn't eat breakfast, and drank a big bowl of soup before starting to eat.
Because Zhou Xiaofu is a cousin and came to her grandfather's house as a guest, the people in this house attach great importance to her, especially Ai's special explanation to the big kitchen, she can prepare whatever she wants here, and she must not be lazy.
Therefore, the dishes sent by Zhou Xiaofu here are particularly rich and the amount of dishes is also very large.
Zhou Xiaofu beckoned Qingbi to bring a plate, evened out everything for her, asked for a big bowl, weighed the soup for Qingbi and asked her to serve it, and then she let go and eat.
The dishes on the dinner table were basically eaten, and Zhou Xiaofu ate six bowls of rice before stopping, she was really hungry, there were too many things in the first two days, she was nervous, and she didn't have a good meal, she ate with people, and she couldn't let go.
After getting up and moving, Qingbi also came in after eating and soaked Zhou Xiaofu in a thick pu'er.
Zhou Xiaofu, who felt better after drinking tea, approved Dayu and Qingbi and walked to the backyard together.
I saw that my grandfather and a few uncles were already waiting there, so I guess if I didn't come again, I would let the little maid invite them.
Soon Zhou Xiaoyang also came.
Zhou Xiaofu saw that several uncles were standing there, so she went over and saluted in turn before saying, "Grandpa, did you ask?" β
Of course, the old lady knew what her granddaughter was asking, and said with a smile: "I asked, I said that I was looking for this notebook." β
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "So family, does my grandfather agree?" β
The old lady smiled and glanced at the eldest son: "Actually, put aside this kid to go to our study to rummage around, the person is still good, worthy of Errong, but it has to wait for them to propose to be counted." β
Zhou Xiaofu also nodded.
Soon, Wang Qingchen on the side said to Zhou Xiaofu with some concern: "Why don't you forget Brother Yang this time?" Next time. β
Zhou Xiaofu glanced at Zhou Xiaoyang, who was standing on the side, and was a little hesitant in her heart, but her brother's strength is too weak now, if he really meets those people, he will really have no return.
However, he still calmly said to Zhou Xiaoyang: "Brother, this time is not an ordinary stimulation of potential, if the body can't support it, it will explode and die, do you think you can." β
When Zhou Xiaoyang heard his sister say this, he didn't answer immediately, and thought for a moment: "I can do it, I heard my uncle say that if you have to rely on willpower to insist, I can do it." β
Zhou Xiaofu nodded when she heard Zhou Xiaoyang's words, and didn't persuade him again.
There were a lot of more than twenty people over there to the back yard. This time it was arranged by Wang Qingbiao.
Zhou Xiaofu, as she did last time, tested everyone's physical state, and finally sent a gram of energy beads to everyone according to what she sensed.
The last time I saw that the room was for my grandfather alone, I got a colorless bead, and after looking at it for a long time, Zhou Xiaofu thought that my grandfather was worried and explained: "Grandpa, my granddaughter will guard you outside, in the process of stimulation, once there is an abnormality, I will help you guide the energy in the body, you can rest assured, there will be no problem." β
The old lady blinked and said, "Sister Fu'er, do you think I will be like your uncle to stimulate abilities?" β
Zhou Xiaofu finally knew what the old man was thinking, and suddenly felt a little helpless, is it really good that the old man is so curious.
After going out, Zhou Xiaofu and her uncles sat directly in the middle living room, drinking tea and waiting.
When I was bored, I practiced the military body boxing with my uncle, dismantling all the places that my uncle didn't understand, and the two of them paid attention to the situation of everyone in the room while disassembling the movements.
Soon in the afternoon, the room was still quiet.
Meals were delivered to three people outside.
After eating, the eldest uncle Wang Qingxuan was anxious to go around the room, while Zhou Xiaofu scanned the situation of each room, and began to take out instant * coffee from the space to brew it.
Soon, the smell of brown permeated the room.
After Zhou Xiaofu gave the *coffee to the two uncles, she nestled in the chair and drank the *coffee while reading the book.
Hearing the sound of 'flutter', Zhou Xiaofu looked up and saw that his uncle Wang Qingxuan had spit out all the things in his mouth.
Zhou Xiaofu looked at her uncle in a daze, couldn't she get used to drinking.
"Sister Fu'er, why do you give your uncle medicine, it's so bitter." Wang Qingxuan said aggrievedly with a wrinkled face.
Zhou Xiaofu was stunned, pursed her lips, picked up her own *coffee and took a sip before saying: "Uncle, this is from Fanbang, called *coffee, which is made of beans called *coffee beans, just like our country's tea, they have been drinking this for a long time, but this is very refreshing after drinking, and I won't be sleepy after drinking it." β
Wang Qingxuan was refreshed when he heard it, frowned and looked at the black thing in the quilt, and saw that Wang Qingbiao drank it without changing his face, so he took a few sips of his own.
It's so hard to drink, doesn't my niece like him, why do you give him medicine, and what else is *coffee.
Soon in the second half of the night, I heard painful moans from various rooms, Zhou Xiaofu scanned every room, and saw that everything was fine, but at the beginning, after looking at my grandfather, the old man did not react at all.
The two uncles who had drunk the *coffee were walking around the house in great spirits, very worried, and there were their own father and nephew inside.
Zhou Xiaofu sat down on the chair after scanning the side, and began to rest the breathing method, but he didn't care.
It wasn't until almost dawn that I listened to the moaning getting louder and louder, and it was about to be the last moment.
Zhou Xiaofu scanned every room again, and when she got to her brother, she saw her brother rolling on the ground in pain, Zhou Xiaofu wanted to use her mental power to help guide the energy, but the potential stimulated by such words was limited, and the appearance of my brother should be able to persevere.
The people in the other rooms were almost the same, they were all rolling on the floor in pain, but the fifth uncle was better, even if he was uncomfortable, he was just lying on the bed, and he was trying to resist the vibration.
When I arrived at my grandfather's room, I found that the old lady was sitting there safely, without any reaction, what was wrong, it was invalid, it was inducted with energy, and there were energy fluctuations in the body, but it seemed that it was almost absorbed.
Zhou Xiaofu stared at her grandfather's room strangely for a long time, what is going on, is it because the energy of the energy bead is not exciting enough, but when she saw that people were fine, she put her mind at ease, but her grandfather was thinking about having a special ability or something, and now he is going to be disappointed.
After breakfast, the two uncles were anxious to turn around the house, but Zhou Xiaofu couldn't tell them that they were all fine.
The two didn't sleep all night, until they stayed up until noon, they saw that the circles under their eyes were dark, and the time was about the same, Zhou Xiaofu scanned it, her grandfather was already fine, the fifth uncle and a few others were finished, and the brothers were still fine, so they got up and went directly to their grandfather's independent room.
As soon as Zhou Xiaofu entered the door, she smelled a foul smell, but she wanted to check her grandfather's body, so she had to go forward to check it.
The old lady's skin became rosy, but his body was too dirty, he didn't feel it at all, and said happily: "Sister Fu'er, has grandpa stimulated any potential?" β
Zhou Xiaofu said helplessly: "Your physique seems to be a little different, an energy bead doesn't seem to be enough, it's just enough to detoxify, and it's not enough to stimulate your potential, but this is also good, and your health is also good if you detoxify." β
When the old lady heard this, she suddenly became a little unhappy, and said a little scoundrel: "Then give me another one." β
Zhou Xiaofu sighed and pinched her nose and said, "After a while, you will talk about it when you get used to it, let's go out and take a bath first, grandpa, can't you smell it, it stinks to death." β
The old lady sniffed her arm in hindsight, and felt a little smelly, so she went out to take a bath in her room with some displeasure.
And Zhou Xiaofu doesn't want to stay here anymore, it will stink for a while.
I quickly said hello to my uncles and went straight back to the yard, but after making an appointment for dinner, I went directly to the study to test these people this time to see which of them were stimulated.
Zhou Xiaofu, who returned to the yard, was tired and sleepy, so she took off her clothes and fell asleep directly on the bed. (To be continued.)
