Half a month later, on a rainy day, Joey returned from Anhui County, and after sending Lu Wei back, he didn't want to be stumped by things again, so he stayed at home for many days, and finally settled down, and there was nothing to do.

On the carriage, Joey looked outside with the curtains, and saw that although the rain was not heavy, it was continuous, and there was no trace of the sun, so he sighed and said: "I wanted to find Meng Gongzi, how to explore the road on such a rainy day!" ”

Qiao Bier stretched out her hand to lower the curtain, got up and approached Joey's side, and said leisurely: "Miss is so anxious, it turns out that it is for that pretty gentleman, don't you hate to marry?" After speaking, he covered his mouth and chuckled.

Joey's hand loosened, threw the curtain open, snorted coldly, turned sideways and grabbed Qiao Bi'er and said, "Which one hates to marry?" Only allow you to talk sweetly with your lover, and don't let me think of my lover? How can there be such a reason in the world? Besides, I'm at the age of being out of the cabinet now, even if I'm really married, it's also a serious matter, let your little hooves tease me, and I don't want to fight! ”

Qiao Bi'er hurriedly dodged over and said, "Since Miss is determined to go, I have to accompany you on a journey, just today." ”

Joy said: "This rain is coming very quickly, and there is no sign of sunshine, so it is inconvenient to go." ”

Qiao Bier said: "Why is Miss so cheesy? ”

Joey snapped, "Why am I cheesy again?" ”

Qiao Bier said: "This time the sky is beautiful, just as the drizzle is continuous, we have been in the past for a while, and we are showing the courtesy of the young lady, why do we want to change the day?" Now that the heat is rising, why not visit while it's cooler? ”

"Well, that's right!" After pondering for a long time, Joey said: "Tell the handlebar style to go straight through the city to the east gate, and we will go to Shilipo to find Meng Gongzi!" ”

"Okay."

The carriage traveled all the way, and did not stop after passing the East City, but went directly out of the East City Gate, deviated from the official road, and stopped until it reached the bank of the Xijiang River.

Seeing that the path was narrow and the carriage was inconvenient, the handlebar pushed the car to the side and said through the curtain: "Girl, the road is slippery on rainy days, and the upward path is not easy to walk, girl, look?" ”

Qiao Bi'er lifted the curtain, held up an oil-paper umbrella and said, "Drop off the footstool and rest here." ”

"Hey." The handlebar hurriedly put down the small stool, helped Qiao Bier get out of the car, and went to pick up the car curtain.

Qiao Bi'er stepped forward and patted his hand and said, "Why are you so unruly, hairy, while carrying an umbrella." ”

The handlebar lowered his head and hurriedly held the umbrella again.

Qiao Bier lifted the corner of the curtain, Joey held up the umbrella and came out, Bier let her hold her arm and walked down slowly.

"Miss, the road is slippery this way, let's walk up the path."

Joey looked at the road and said with a bitter face: "There is also rain on the path, isn't it generally slippery?" ”

Qiao Bi'er said: "It's all here, if the young lady can't bear this hardship, then go back to the city, and the sky will be better another day, and it will be the same if you come again." ”

Joey said: "You want to provoke me, am I the kind of person who is excited?" ”

Qiao Bier tilted her head and snickered.

Joey frowned slightly, and said with his skirt in his hand: "If you don't provoke me with this, I will also go, but if my feet slip and I fall all over the muddy water, won't it make Meng Gongzi see me laughing?" ”

Qiao Bi'er smiled and said: "That's it, Miss should have thrown off the mud, so I should stay here for a little longer, and I will go home and get you some changes." ”

Joey turned his head to look at Qiao Bier, Qiao Bier tilted her head to meet Joey's gaze, the two of you look at me, I look at you, poofed twice, and laughed in unison.

"Let's go, we don't know if Meng Gongzi is not at home, if he is not there, won't he toss around again? I have suffered myself in vain. ”

Qiao Bier held an umbrella with one hand and held Joey with the other and said: "It doesn't matter if he is there or not, we want to act like this, we can't coax ourselves, how can we coax others?" ”

Joy said: "But it's also this reason, walking, often going to the play, I haven't acted in person, I'll see if you, the noble lady of the small jasper, will be a slave." ”

Qiao Bi'er said: "Which slave doesn't have high eyebrows, but my girl is not subject to you?" ”

Joey shook his head and said, "Pick up some beautiful words to coax me, it's really something, and you don't know where to secretly laugh at me." ”

Qiao Bier said with a smile: "Miss is also very careful, she has always been "the lord humiliates the minister to death", how can there be a girl who laughs at the master?" ”

The two of them supported each other all the way, and walked towards Meng Feishi's small courtyard under the light rain, turned the corner, and there was really a small courtyard, thinking that it was Meng Feishi's residence.

Qiao Bi'er said, "Miss, we're here." ”

Joey looked up, but saw that the small courtyard was elegant and chic, not like a man's residence, Joey said: "How can such an arrangement look like a woman's handiwork?" ”

Qiao Bi'er also looked at it and said, "I almost forgot, isn't that little slut also here?" ”

The smile on Joey's face disappeared without a trace, and he said, "If it's really here, how do we deal with it?" ”

Qiao Bi'er thought for a while and said, "It's better to respect Meng Gongzi's convenience and call her a sister-in-law." ”

Joey's eyes widened, and his voice immediately became stern, and he said, "You want me to call her a sister-in-law?" You can't die! ”

Qiao Bi'er said: "Miss, let's calm down the anger first, I mean, pick up the people first, after all, we still have to face Meng Gongzi, if we say it directly to death, Meng Gongzi's face is not good-looking, we will hold her high, so that it will be convenient to deal with her in the future." ”

Joey asked, "Do you have any ideas again?" ”

Qiao Bier said: "Miss only regards catkins as a sister-in-law, and if she has convenience, I will help Miss pay attention to it." ”

Joey breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let this little slut go for the time being!" ”

Rubbing her stiff face, Joey put on a smile again and instructed Joe Biel to call the door.

Qiao Bier stood outside the courtyard door with an umbrella and shouted, "Is there anyone?" Is the host's house there? ”

The catkins have never gone out today, and the day in June is like a sad matchmaker, picking up some good places for trysts in the future, so that lovers who have a heart to meet have dispelled the idea of going out. Liu Wu and Meng Fei were the same, they didn't go out, they only lived at home, the two were chatting in Meng Fei's house, and suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard calling the door, Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Which one will come in this weather?" ”

Meng Fei said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Liu Wu said: "I'll go." ”

Liu Wu got up, took the umbrella from the front of the door, opened the door and went out with the umbrella.

Pulling the door of Meng Feishi's room shut, Liu Wu turned around and walked into the rain, and when he came to the door with an umbrella, he took a look, but it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, the same age as Liu Wu, Liu Wu carefully identified it, but felt familiar, and asked: "Whose sister is this, who are you looking for here?" ”

Qiao Bi'er looked at the catkins with a sideways face, she hadn't seen her for a few months, but the catkins had fallen a lot and lost a lot of weight, and she said at the moment: "Miss Liu, but you don't recognize the slave?" ”

Liu Fu frowned when he heard this, and then looked at it carefully: "I look at some fate, but I can't remember where I saw it." ”

Qiao Bi'er smiled and said: "The girl and noble person forget things, and it is normal not to remember the slave maid, but my young lady and the girl often come and go." ”

Liu Wu asked, "Who is your young lady?" ”

Qiao Bi'er pointed behind her and said, "Isn't that my young lady?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Wu looked behind her, and when she saw it, she was like being struck by lightning, and suddenly remembered her deceased father, and unconsciously fell into memories.

In the courtyard of the Liu family's mansion, the girl hurriedly ran inside, shouting as she ran: "Woe to you, woe to you!" ”

Liu Feng, Liu Feng's father, came out and asked, "Why are you so panicked?" ”

The girl cried and said: "Master, I don't know what happened, the county sent more than a dozen public servants to break in, and they wanted to take the master over to question!" ”

Liu Feng frowned and said: "On weekdays, he has never shortened his filial piety, how can he embarrass me for no reason?" Where's Miss? ”

The girl reported back: "I said that I made an appointment with Miss Qiao's family to go out, and I went out in the morning." ”

Liu Feng said: "Hurry up and chase the young lady back, disaster is coming, and I don't know if I have the life to escape!" ”

The girl withdrew and found someone to call the young lady.

Liu Feng walked out of the front hall, saw the servant stopping the servant, hurriedly drank the servant, and stepped forward to greet him: "I don't know if you have passed the house, but what does the county lord order?" ”

The officer replied, "Your Excellency only told me to come and ask for a gentleman, and did not explain anything to us!" ”

Liu Feng took out a bag of silver from his cuff and gave it out one by one, and the rest was not taken back, but directly stuffed into the leader's hand.

The messenger checked the silver in his hand and said, "Mr. is a fateful man, it just so happened that I listened to our master's words, and I replied to you today, which can be regarded as repaying this kindness." ”

Liu Feng said: "Thank you, thank you." ”

The officer's eyes looked left and right, Liu Feng understood, and retreated from everyone.

The messenger stepped forward and said, "What does Lord Wen call when he mentions the master of the Qiao family and mentions your crimes?" ”

Liu Feng hurriedly asked, "What crime?" ”

The messenger said, "Sir, let me remember it carefully. After a while, the messenger clapped his hands and said, "Yes, belly slander!" ”

Liu Feng frowned and said, "This crime has long been abandoned, how can you use it to find me?" ”

The messenger said: "I don't know what the allusion is, does the gentleman still have an explanation?" ”

Liu Feng said: "If you are not busy, it is good to eat some tea in my house, the little girl has not returned, I really can't rest assured, when you want to leave, each person will seal fifty taels of wine money." ”

The servant smiled and said, "Sir, how can there be no reason not to follow me like this?" Then bother Mr. for a while. ”

Liu Feng was still confused when he was picked up, and when he saw his father Liu Feng, he saw that his face was not good, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Daddy so sad?" But my daughter didn't ask her father for instructions when she went out, and my father annoyed me? ”

Liu Feng said: "Good daughter, if this is not the case, my father was drunk the day before yesterday, and said something wrong, and he didn't want to be listened to, so he sued me at the county honor, and now the messenger is in the house, and he is waiting for me to reply to the house, and I don't know what a blessing or misfortune." ”

Liu Wu said: "Why did you get into a lawsuit again?" Which one is guilty of harming your father like this? ”

Liu Feng said: "The errand report said that it was the master of the Qiao family in this county, you have been moving around a lot with the Miss Qiao family, what is wrong with seeing her today?" ”

Liu Wu said: "It's nothing else, it's just that I have never taken a girl out, but today I followed a smart girl." ”

Liu Feng said: "Nothing else? ”

Liu Wu thought for a while and said, "Joey is talking a lot more straightforwardly today. ”

Liu Feng sighed: "Presumably this kid also knows, beware of you, I have sent someone to find a way out for you, if you are a filial person, then follow me." ”

Liu Fu cried and said: "What Daddy said is so serious, how can my daughter not follow it, I don't know what Daddy wants me to do?" ”
