Chapter 4 Visits
After Qingshu's carriage left, a small man who looked like a maid ran to the market, saw Xiao Yuanqi, and shouted as he ran: "Young master, young master." ”
Xiao Yuanqi saw Xiao Wu running towards him from afar, and heard Xiao Wu's shout, and shook his head helplessly, hey, it seems that he can't run away. simply didn't leave, stood in place and waited for Xiao Wu to come.
"Young master, where have you been, Xiao Wufang has only been looking for a long time." Xiao Wuqi hadn't even breathed evenly, so he hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yuanqi gave Xiao Wu a burst and said, "Where do you care where I go?" ”
Xiao Yuanqi didn't hurt this time, Xiao Wu still smiled after taking this blow: "Young Master, doesn't Xiao Wu care about you?" This snow treading is not always against you, Xiao Wu is afraid that it will lead you to a dangerous place and make you injured, young master. ”
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Xiao Yuanqi crossed his hands on his waist and said, "Hey": "Do you still want to eat a chestnut from me, why don't you open which pot to mention?" "It's because he took him to run around in the snow that he made such a big mess, this little five is still so ignorant, what don't you say, but it's not enough to be ashamed of yourself?
Xiao Yuanqi's threat was useless to Xiao Wu, because Xiao Wu knew that Xiao Yuanqi would not be angry because of these things, but in order to take care of Xiao Yuanqi's face, he still apologized and said: "Young Master, Xiao Wu is wrong." ”
Knowing that his apology was not sincere, Xiao Yuanqi didn't bother to care, handed the reins to Xiao Wu, and said: "I'll hand it over to you when you step on the snow, you have to bring it back to me safely, if there is a hair missing, you will wait to be punished." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's originally smiling face immediately drooped, and he said with a sad face: "Young master, aren't you embarrassed Xiao Wu, you can't pull it, how can I move it?" ”
"Then it's none of this young master's business. Oh, by the way, I was given the silver taels to compensate these vendors. After Xiao Yuanqi finished speaking, he didn't care about Xiao Wu, patted his buttocks, and left in style. Only Xiao Wu was left alone with a group of disobedient horses, and the vendors who were already surrounding Xiao Wu waiting for Xiao Wu to give the silver taels.
"Young master......" Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Yuanqi's back, pouted, he knew not to say those words, but now it's better to be abandoned on the street.
solved the farce in the bazaar, but in the time of a pillar of incense, Mo Qingshu arrived at the mansion that had been purchased earlier, and the old housekeeper Uncle Fu was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Qingshu getting out of the car, he immediately greeted him.
"Miss, you can be regarded as coming, I received a letter from Miss Shengxiao earlier, saying that Miss will arrive today, so I have been waiting here, if Miss doesn't come again, I'm afraid I will send someone to find Miss."
"I encountered something on the way, and I was delayed for a while." Qingshu replied.
"Miss is fine. The house has been cleaned up, so let's go in and have a look. Uncle Fu said, and took Qingshu to the house. Qingshu nodded and followed.
The layout of the house is all built according to the layout of Jiangnan, and even the plants in the garden are selected by thousands of selections, but because of the rush of time, some things have not had time to be purchased, so it looks much simpler than the house in Jiangnan, "but without those complicated decorations, it looks much more atmospheric."
The house is not big, but it is enough, and for her, it is just a place to stay, ready to be discarded. The house is not a home, no matter how big the house is, the house is always cold, just like her heart, because that warm home, as early as ten years ago, was gone, destroyed by her beloved imperial uncle himself.
The red kite residence is the courtyard specially prepared by Uncle Fu for Mo Qingshu, and the scenery here is different from other places, the blue bricks and tiles, the height is staggered, the eaves are piercing the sky, the corners are connected, one brick and one tile, one stone and one wood, all are extremely exquisite. Even the furnishings in the house are extremely exquisite.
"Miss, if there is anything to do, tell your subordinates to do it, these subordinates have all been investigated, and their backgrounds are innocent, so you can rest assured."
Qingshu nodded: "There is Uncle Lao Fu." ”
Uncle Fu smiled and waved his hand: "Where is Miss, serving Miss is the duty of those of us who are subordinates." Then I'll go down first, and the young lady will just give me a direct command if she has something. ”
"Okay." Qingshu replied, and Uncle Fu bowed slightly and left.
Seeing Uncle Fu leaving, Sheng Xiao waited for Mo Qingshu to freshen up, and after freshening up, someone sent lunch.
After lunch, Mo Qingshu was looking at the book when he saw Uncle Fu walking in with a sticker in his hand.
"Miss, this is a greeting post from Xiao Gongzi, look ......"
Mo Qingshu took the post, looked at the gilded words on it, and was a little puzzled, she only arrived in the capital today, and no one knew her identity, why did someone send the poster now, and in her memory, there was no memory of this Xiao Gongzi, looking at this post, it seems that he is also a person with status, for no reason, how can he be willing to come to see himself, an ordinary person who has just arrived?
"Who is this Xiao Gongzi?" Mo Qingshu asked.
"Miss Hui's words, it is Xiao Yuanqi, the eldest son of the Duke of Huguo, and the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo is nearby."
Zhen Huguogong, Qingshu remembered, Huguogong's original name was Xiao Lu, when Bai Di attacked Cangyun, he almost broke through the border defense line, but suddenly a Tsing Yi general appeared, not only blocked Bai Di's attack, but also defeated Bai Di, became famous in a battle, and was called "Tsing Yi General".
After that, he guarded the frontier for several years and resisted Bai Di's attacks many times, because of his deterrence, Bai Di did not dare to attack Cangyun again for several years, because he guarded the frontier, in exchange for several years of peace on the Cangyun border. When her father was there, because of Xiao Luzhen's meritorious service in guarding the border, he was specially named the protector of the country.
I remember that I heard that the Xiao family had a son who inherited Xiao Lu's bravery, but he was already familiar with military books at the age of seven, and his martial arts were not weaker than those who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he had the potential to beat Xiao Lu. Unexpectedly, after ten years, the first person she saw when she returned to Beijing would be Xiao Yuanqi.
"Where is Xiao Gongzi?" Qingshu asked.
Uncle Fu replied, "I'm waiting in the front hall now." ”
Qingshu nodded, "I'll go later." ”
Uncle Fu nodded, and stepped back.
Xiao Yuanqi and Xiao Wu were waiting in the front hall, and the girl who served the tea brought a snack, changed the tea for him, and withdrew.
Seeing the girl leaving, Xiao Wu muttered: "The shelf of the master of this house is really big, and the son of the protector of the country came to visit in person, and this master has not seen anyone for half a day, so he really doesn't take our protector in his eyes." ”
Hearing Xiao Wu muttering beside him, with a displeased face, Xiao Yuanqi asked, "Xiao Wu, what are you muttering about?" ”
"Nope." Xiao Wu hurriedly denied that if Xiao Yuanqi knew what he was talking about, he would inevitably be reprimanded.
"Childe, what is the origin of the owner of this house, and why did Childe come to visit in person?"
Xiao Yuanqi thought for a while: "Coming from?" I don't know. But I always think it's like an interesting person. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Yuanqi's seemingly non-answering answer made Xiao Wu confused, scratching his head and thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with anything.
Just when Xiao Wu twisted his eyebrows and scratched his head to think about it, he saw Mo Qingshu coming, Xiao Wu looked at the door, and wanted to see what the owner of the house was, just a glance, so that Xiao Wu couldn't take his eyes off.
A Luo skirt fluttering, the aqua blue long skirt sends fragrance with the wind, delicate and exquisite, between looking forward to it, the style is graceful, and the city is gorgeous. A pair of slender hands with skin like jade, skin like snow, eyes as bright as stars but with wisdom that ordinary people do not have. I saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, revealing a good-looking arc, and her clever smile was nothing more than that.
Even Xiao Yuanqi was a little surprised, this Hokusai master was so beautiful, but why did he always feel a little familiar?
Just when Xiao Yuanqi was puzzled, Mo Qingshu's lips opened lightly, and she said with a smile, her voice as crisp as a silver bell: "I'm really sorry to keep Xiao Gongzi waiting for a long time." I am the master of this Hokusai, Mo Qingshu. ”
"It doesn't matter, in the end, I took the liberty to come, and if I want to say it's wrong, it's also my fault." Xiao Yuanqi said, and then pushed a flat salute: "Under Xiao Yuanqi." ”
Seeing Xiao Yuanqi introduce himself, Xiao Wu also said: "I am Xiao Wu, the companion of the son." ”
Qingshu nodded slightly, "Xiao Gongzi came here today and I don't know why?" ”
"I came to visit today to apologize for today's shocking incident, and I specially prepared a small gift, hoping that today's incident did not collide with the girl." After Xiao Yuanqi finished speaking, Xiao Wu had already taken out the things Xiao Yuanqi had prepared and put them on the table.
It was a box, made of fine sandalwood, with dark red trim and gold edges, and a relief pattern hovering over it, adding a touch of luxury. The box was not locked, and Xiao Wu opened the box, which was a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, with excellent color and a lot of value.
"This night pearl was obtained by going to the East China Sea with my father when I was a child, and I hope the girl will not dislike it."
"This ......" Qingshu just wanted to say that this was too precious, but Xiao Yuanqi seemed to have guessed her mind and stopped her from going on: "This is my apology, if the girl doesn't accept it, it means that she won't accept my apology." Xiao Wu, if the girl doesn't accept it, then you can kneel here. ”
Seeing Xiao Yuanqi suddenly pull himself in, Xiao Wu let out an "ah" and wrinkled his face: "Childe, this is obviously your fault, why do you want me to kneel?" ”
Xiao Yuanqi turned his head and whispered: "I am your master, you have to listen to what I say, what, do you have an opinion?" ”
Xiao Wu hurriedly shook his head, if he dared to say that he had an opinion, he was afraid that Xiao Yuanzhao would come up with other ideas to rectify him, and when the time came, he would still suffer.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was so well-behaved, Xiao Yuanqi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Xiao Wu thinks so too, girl, you can't bear to watch Xiao Wu kneeling, right?" ”
Mo Qingshu covered her mouth and chuckled, Xiao Yuanqi obviously did it on purpose, since he said so, it would be better for him to refuse, just accept it first, and pay it back next time when he finds a chance.
"In that case, I'll take it first." Mo Qingshu said and motioned for Sheng Xiao to accept it.
