CHAPTER XXIV
Sitting on the side of the study, Zhu Xishi was burying his head, and his fingers were quickly fiddling with the abacus in his hand, settling the income and expenditure of this month.
Just as he was about to get involved, he suddenly heard a greeting in his ear, interrupting his concentration.
"Xi Shi, I'll go to the post station."
Zhu Xishi, who was stunned, raised his head in a daze, looked at Zhao Xiaoba who was poking his head outside the study, and asked with a chain reaction: "What are you doing at the post station?" ”
"Ask them to seal the family letter a little."
Zhao Xiaoba's letter shook in front of Zhu Xishi's eyes, and he smiled brightly. Suddenly, Zhu Xishi, who suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly reminded him.
"Go early and come back early! Don't hang out outside. ”
"Got it, Grandma. I'm not a child! Just as he was about to turn around and go out, Zhao Xiaoba remembered something again, turned around and told her again: "Xi Shi, boil some hot water for me, I want to take a bath when I come back." I smell of sweat on my body. ”
In this way, Zhu Xishi felt really uncomfortable, I am your maidservant? Or do I owe you nothing? Why. immediately darkened his face and retorted.
"No way! Usually you don't bathe in the stream outside the city, why do you want me to boil hot water for you today? Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, and take a bath to boil water! I don't have time to serve you, the eight masters. ”
A dose of angry white eyes flew by, and Zhao Xiaoba was immediately dried. turned to hide the embarrassment on his face, and he begged with a smiling face.
"Isn't it autumn? The weather has been quite cold lately, and bathing in the snowy stream may be cold. Xi Shi, you can be kind and help me boil some hot water. ”
"You're going to send someone!"
"Okay? Please, beauty. ”
Hurriedly slipped to Zhu Xishi, took her arm, and laughed milkily. When Zhu Xi, who ate soft and not hard, he was also tossed by him for a while, and he couldn't stand it.
"Alright, alright! Got it. You hurry up and send the letter, don't get in the way of the old lady's accounting. ”
"Beauty, you will be blessed!"
Zhao Xiaoba's mouth felt like rubbing honey. Although I feel that this is a bit unconscionable, it can be said from the mouth of his handsome brother, which really makes people dizzy.
"Let's go, let's go! Don't talk to the old lady poorly. ”
"I'll just say yes to you! Aunt Xie was very gracious, and Xiaoba retired. ”
After a few weeks of etiquette, he made a gesture to Zhu Xishi, and Zhao Xiaoba walked out of the study like a happy little sparrow and set off for the post station.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoba's figure through the window lattice not far away, Zhu Xishi couldn't help sighing. The power of his mouth is really not covered, and it has been tried and tested, and few can parry.
It was quiet, and soon Zhu Xishi settled the accounts, then got up and went to the kitchen to boil hot water for Zhao Xiaoba.
Sitting by the door of the stove, Zhu Xi held a burning stick and hooked the burning firewood from time to time. But as for his thoughts, he had already traveled to the clouds at this time.
It's been almost an hour, and Zhu Xishi is also thinking about Zhao Xiaoba, can he be smooth? Holding his big head, he kept shaking his head, complaining that Zhao Xiaoba was really uncomfortable.
For a moment, he filled a piece of firewood with moisture into the stove. Not long after the fire burned, a crisp popping sound sounded in the quiet kitchen, which frightened Zhu Xishi and suddenly fell to the ground.
Zhu Xishi hurriedly pulled the firewood out of the stove, supported his feet, and quickly stepped on the flames. Fortunately, she found it in time, otherwise if she let the water firewood burn, she would definitely burst her old iron pot!
"Zhao Xiaoba, you are really going to make a mess for the old lady!"
When he was in a panic, Zhu Xishi kept scolding Zhao Xiaoba. But his uncle, can he know that he is working here as a coolie and remember her well? Don't even think about it.
At this time, Zhao Xiaoba, who was in the wing room on the other side, suddenly sneezed the boss before he took a sip of hot tea! The tea in the tea bowl was also sprinkled on the ground because of the unsteady hand, which frightened others, and they hurriedly paid attention.
"Childe, are you cold?"
Rubbing his nose, which was a little itchy, Zhao Xiaoba put down the tea bowl in his hand and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Okay, why do you sneeze all of a sudden? Zhao Xiaoba was also surprised, could it be that someone was behind his back, gossiping about himself?
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoba was fine, his expression was slightly soothed to the middle-aged man sitting on the side. is very eye-catching, and cares for Zhao Xiaoba: "It's been cold recently, and the son should pay more attention to his body when he is outside." ”
Zhao Xiaoba, who stopped the itching of his nose, turned back to a faint smile and said slowly.
"Do you remember what you said?"
"Xia Guan remembered, he must not miss a word, and convey the words of the son."
"That's fine. It's getting late, so I won't bother Master Li anymore and take my leave. ”
Seeing Zhao Xiaoba get up, Master Li also hurriedly got up, wanting to keep him.
"The lower official has ordered someone to set up a thin banquet, and invited the son to appreciate the light, so that I can enter the friendship of the landlord."
"Lord Li's kindness is appreciated in my heart. There are indeed many inconveniences, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”
"This"
Seeing Zhao Xiaoba shirking, this Master Li is also in a dilemma, could it be that he dislikes his poor hospitality? I ran out of ideas for a while.
Looking at Lord Li's hesitation, how could Zhao Xiaoba not be able to detect his thoughts, probably because he was afraid that he would neglect himself and affect his future in the future.
"Master Li doesn't have to be so mindful, he has always been a casual person, and I have never liked these complicated etiquette. Please also take care of the things entrusted to you. ”
"Definitely, definitely! Xia Guan must do his best to convey it to Gongzi. ”
I couldn't guess Zhao Xiaoba's temper, and Master Li didn't dare to say anything more.
"Then I will say goodbye, Lord Li, please stay."
"Childe let's go."
Although he said that he was staying, Master Li did not dare to slack off at all, and still followed Zhao Xiaoba closely behind, and respectfully sent Zhao Xiaoba to the door of the post station. Looking at his proud posture, gradually blending into the crowded streets, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out the letter between his sleeves, and sealed it tightly on the fire paint, but there was not a single word left on it. What's in it? It's hard to guess.
But Master Li knew that the weight of this letter was not light at all.
You must know that the person who can take out the "Dragon Gold Medal" is either rich or expensive; Moreover, the place where the letter was delivered was the Rongwang Mansion in the capital! Based on these alone, it can be determined that the son just now has a lot of origin.
"Someone!"
Lord Li, whose face was solemn, hurriedly called the official on standby.
"What do you command?"
"Hurry up and prepare a fast horse, this official is going to enter Beijing!"
The official who received the order immediately received the order to take care of it. Master Li, who was shining brightly, stood alone in front of the post station for a long time, and the apprehension in his heart did not diminish at all.
Success or failure is in one fell swoop, and Lord Li has a hunch that if there is a slight mistake, it may lead to a catastrophe!
