Chapter 28: Friend or Foe

Shu Manyao propped up her body, and then looked at Wang Shumin and Li Yingying in front of her, if there is a problem with the fragrance of flowers, what if there is anything wrong with the two of them? Sensing a burst of dizziness coming up, Shu Manyao called out to the two people in front of him: "Sister Wang, Sister Li." ”

Li Yingying turned around with a grin: "What's wrong?" Man Yao, why are you walking so slowly? ”

Wang Shumin saw it a little, frowned, and then came back again: "What's wrong?" But what happened? ”

Shu Manyao shook his head and said with a smile: "I just think that after seeing the Zuo family's flower room, I'm afraid that if I go back, this winter will be boring, so I thought, if the Zuo family doesn't mind, let's pick two flowers and go back?" ”

Li Yingying's eyes lit up, and she immediately clapped her hands and smiled: "This is a good idea, Mingzhu has always been generous, I will let the maids ask Mingzhu, Shumin, Manyao, what flowers do you want, say it first, I will let the maids ask." ”

Wang Shumin stood in front of Shu Manyao without a trace, tilted her head, and thought for a while before saying: "I like that hibiscus flower, that flower tree is quite big, two flowers should not be rare, right?" As for Sister Man Yao, I remember that Sister Man Yao likes Bowl Lotus? This is easy to feed, even if it is placed directly in the house at this time, it can also bloom. ”

Li Yingying responded with great interest, and immediately called the maid and asked the maid to ask Zuo Mingzhu.

Shu Manyao stretched out his hand and pointed to the pavilion not far away: "Let's wait there for a while, if Miss Zuo agrees, let's go back and choose two directly, the little maids in the province don't choose well, so we don't have to run back and forth." ”

Li Yingying immediately responded, Wang Shumin looked at her elated figure, turned her head and looked at Shu Manyao with a little worry: "What's wrong?" ”

Thinking of Wang Shumin and Mrs. Wang's previous maintenance of herself, Shu Manyao gritted her teeth, why not gamble once? If you win, you can be regarded as the first good sister in two lives, and if you lose......

Anyway, the Shu family is about to move to the capital, even if her reputation for frailty spreads, there is a way to solve it when she turns around, right?

The most important thing is that in his last life, he has never been out, and Xu doesn't know what his body is like outside, but his father has also found a husband for himself. In this life, you can probably get married, right?

After weighing it in her heart, Shu Manyao made up her mind, raised her eyes to look at Wang Shumin, and looked serious: "Sister Wang, if I say that I have been calculated, will you believe it?" ”

Wang Shumin was stunned, and then asked, "But the peony flower before?" ”

"Sister Wang is really smart, Sister Wang, I have to go home now." Shu Manyao looked at Wang Shumin and lowered her voice, in fact, she didn't deliberately lower her voice, and she didn't have much strength to speak at this time: "I only ask Sister Wang for one thing." ”

"You want me to get that peony flower?" Wang Shumin asked again, Shu Manyao shook his head: "No, I had an accident, Sister Wang is good, Sister Li didn't have an accident, just based on this, I can't say that there is a problem with the Zuo family's flower room." The most important thing is that we have been out of the flower room for so long, and the peony flower has been dealt with a long time ago, even if we go back now, I am afraid that we will not be able to find any flaws. ”

Wang Shumin tilted her head slightly, with some doubts on her face.

Shu Manyao noticed that the strength in her body was getting less and less, and she hurried up and said: "I just ask Sister Wang to go to the front and tell my mother, the family sent a maid over, and said that one of my grandmother's objects at home could not be found, and I will go back to help my grandmother find it." ”

Originally, she wanted to say that her grandmother was not feeling well at home and that she would go back to take care of her, but when she thought of her grandmother's age, she was reluctant to say anything similar to a curse.

"Okay." Wang Shumin didn't even think about it, she nodded and agreed, looked at Xia Xi, who was supporting Shu Manyao, and called her eldest maid again: "Let her send you out, she still knows a little about the road in Zuofu." ”

Shu Manyao smiled and half-squatted down to salute Wang Shumin: "Sister Wang's great kindness, Manyao will always remember it, and ask Sister Wang to say it in front of all the ladies when she goes to report to my mother later." ”

"I know, you just have to go back." Wang Shumin replied with a stiff face, seeing that Shu Manyao was about to turn around, she suddenly frowned and asked, "You can get out of the inner courtyard, but how can you get out of the outer courtyard?" The coachman you brought ......"

"Sister Wang, don't worry, my grandmother is still healthy." With his grandmother here, the Xu family will never be able to truly master the Shu family. Wang Shumin nodded clearly, no longer looked at Shu Manyao, but turned around and walked towards Li Yingying, and said as she walked: "Don't you want to see the buds of the plum garden?" Man Yao took the maid to break two branches and came back. ”

Li Yingying was overjoyed, and said while waving at Shu Manyao: "Xiexie Sister Man Yao, Sister Man Yao must choose the best-looking one." ”

Shu Manyao also turned around and waved his hand, and then walked away with Xia Xi and Wang Shumin's eldest girl. Yujian Zuo's maid mother-in-law, I tried my best to dodge, fortunately, the Zuo's house is still exquisite, and there are a lot of rockery suspension bridges and pavilions everywhere.

Occasionally unable to hide, Xia Xi blocked in front of Shu Manyao, and Wang Shumin's maid came forward and made an excuse that the girl was looking for something, although the road was thrilling, the three of them finally touched the door of the inner courtyard.

After letting Wang Shumin's maid go back, Shu Manyao looked at Xia Xi: "I asked you to pay attention to the route of the Zuo family before, do you remember everything?" ”

Xia Xi nodded hurriedly and helped Shu Manyao to hide in the outer courtyard to find his carriage. Although there are a lot of people who come to the Zuo family today, there are not many who can directly drive the carriage into the Zuo family's house, so it is not too difficult to find it in Xia Xi.

It was past lunchtime, and the coachmen had eaten their lunch. It's just that they know that this banquet won't end too early, and they won't wait at this time, but just hide elsewhere to warm up. Xia Xi inquired about the silver, and then found a room of coachmen, and hurriedly called his own one to come out, and the coachman saw Xia Xi and Shu Manyao come out, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly stood up: "Big girl, Xia Xi girl, you are ......"

Shu Manyao didn't even have the strength to speak, but fortunately, there were still two little maids in the carriage, and when the girls went out, there were always two maids waiting outside, just in case. Here's where it comes in.

"Uncle Luo, don't talk about it yet, let's go back quickly." Xia Xi didn't have time to explain, and after helping Shu Manyao into the carriage with the two little maids, she immediately whispered: "Just say, Madame told you to buy snacks on the street outside......

Although Uncle Luo didn't know what was going on, looking at Xia Xi's expression, he also knew that the matter was not trivial, and then he thought that the eldest girl was favored by the old lady during this time, and even their mother-in-law had a good errand because of the eldest girl, so he hurriedly responded, and drove the carriage directly to the door.

"Brother Luo, what's wrong?" As soon as he walked two steps, someone came out and asked, Uncle Luo laughed: "Madame has always been filial to the old lady, every time she goes out, she must bring the old lady her favorite snacks or something, at this time, you sent me out to buy it." Hey, I really don't want to move in this winter. ”

Someone sneered: "Brother Luo, your wife doesn't have a reward?" ”

"How could it not be? Madame has always been merciful, and she pities us the most people, and I have run well on this errand, this number. Uncle Luo smiled and stretched out a slap, which immediately caused exclamation.

"Then Brother Luo, you should hurry up, the masters commanded, how can we not listen to the people of the moment? What's more, if you still have the silver, we won't delay you, so you can go quickly. Someone said with a smile, Uncle Luo answered, and drove the carriage out of the yard.

When I got to the door, I still said the same thing. It was impossible for those guards to go in and go to Madame Zuo to testify, and besides, they were just coachmen, so they didn't have much to do.

After leaving Zuo's house safely, Xia Xi breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look again, and saw that Shu Manyao had fainted. Xia Xi had never gone through this battle, and her face suddenly turned pale: "Girl, girl, how are you?" ”

The two little maids are also second-class maids in Shu Manyao's room, and they are also sincere to Shu Manyao, so they came over at this time: "Sister Xia Xi, I look at the girl's symptoms, it seems that she is going to have a rash." ”

Xia Xi was stunned for a moment: "Rash? ”

Jingqiu nodded: "Yes, I heard my mother say that the eldest girl doesn't seem to smell Poria cocos powder, and when she smells it, she will have a fever and a rash. ”

"How does your mother know this?" Xia Xi asked suspiciously, Jing Qiu's eyes widened: "Sister Xia Xi, you forgot, my mother used to serve the old lady, but later because she was sick, she went back to recuperate, and then I entered the house." ”

Xia Xi patted her head: "Look at me, the girl's illness came together, and I was scared." Do you know how to cure the girl's disease? ”

Jingqiu shook his head with a guilty face: "I was young at the time, and I can't remember clearly, I only know that the old lady guarded the girl for several days, and my mother went back and was glad that the girl's appearance was not hindered." ”

Xia Xi gritted her teeth, the Xu family was really vicious. The first time the girl had a rash, it may be because of her young age and the doctor's timely treatment, which avoided the result of disfigurement. If this time, the girl is still in the Zuo family, maybe the Zuo family will invite some kind of doctor to go back, and then there will be a case, the girl's face will ......

Thinking of this, Xia Xi was afraid for a while. He lifted the curtain again and called Uncle Luo: "Uncle, we have to hurry up, the girl can't delay here!" If she goes back in time, the girl will not forget her uncle's merits. ”

The voice of the little girl is not too low, Uncle Luo all stopped in his ears, at this time he naturally knows the importance of the matter, since he chose to stand on the side of the big girl just now, Uncle Luo can't be allowed to regret it at this time, just want to go back as soon as possible, if he can save the girl's life, the old lady will definitely reward their family.

Even if she didn't have time, the old lady was reasonable, and she would definitely not be angry with him.

"A few girls sit down and want to hold the eldest girl." Uncle Luo answered, flicked the horsewhip, the carriage obviously sped up, he was also familiar with the roads in the capital, only picked the small road that was few people and close, and rushed all the way back to Shu's house.
