Chapter 20: Visitation (2)
The old lady and Li Yue were chatting, and when they saw Zhao Gao walking in, they immediately waved their hands and said, "Gao'er, you are here, come and see the fourth lady." ”
"Mother is fine, Miss Fourth is fine." Zhao Gao looked at his mother, reluctantly stepped forward and saluted his mother, and then said to Li Yue.
"Zhao Gongzi is fine." Li Yue got up from the chair and returned the salute to Zhao Gao shyly.
Zhao Gao frowned when he saw the expression on Li Yue's face, then nodded at Li Yue, sat on the chair opposite Li Yue, and did not speak.
"Gao'er, why are you so rude." When the old lady saw Zhao Gao like this, she shouted angrily.
"Old lady, it's okay, don't blame Zhao Gongzi." Li Yue saw that the old lady was angry, and immediately said with a smile.
Seeing that Li Yue was not angry, the old lady immediately said to Li Yue with a smile on her face: "Fourth Miss, sit down, Fourth Miss is really sensible, considerate, gentle and generous." ”
Li Yue listened to the old lady's words, enjoyed it very much, sat back in her place quietly, or didn't look at Zhao Gao shyly, Zhao Gao saw this, frowned again, but didn't say anything, of course, the old lady sitting on the throne also saw this situation, and was secretly happy in her heart, it seems that these four young ladies have taken a fancy to Gao Er, if Gao Er marries the fourth lady, the future will be immeasurable, thinking, the old lady said to Zhao Gao with a smile: "The fourth lady came to thank you on purpose, thank you for saving your life yesterday." ”
"Fourth Miss is polite." Zhao Gao listened to his mother's words, and with his understanding of his mother, Zhao Gao naturally knew what kind of wishful thinking his mother was making, so he opened his mouth and said lightly to Li Yue: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about." ”
"Zhao Gongzi, if it weren't for your life-saving grace yesterday, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the sun today, I have come to thank Gongzi today." Li Yue said while shyly pointing to the large and small boxes on the ground and said, "These are for Zhao Gongzi to repay Zhao Gongzi for saving his life." ”
Zhao Gao looked at the large and small boxes on the ground, which were full of gold, silver and jewelry, but there was no expression on his face, Zhao Gao said to Li Yue: "Yesterday was just a gesture, even if it wasn't the fourth lady yesterday, it was anyone on the spot, I would save it, compared to a human life." ”
Li Yue was very conspicuous and didn't expect Zhao Gao to say this, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but when the old lady saw it, she immediately said, "Gao'er, how can you be so rude?" ”
Zhao Gao looked at his mother with an angry face, with a warning in his eyes, Zhao Gao's heart became even colder, Zhao Gao stood up and said to his mother: "Mother, I still have important things to do today, so I will retire first." After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he immediately left without looking back.
Leaving the old lady Li Yue and the others, the old lady was embarrassed for a while, and didn't know what to say, so she could only say to Li Yue: "Fourth Miss, don't blame, Gao'er is such a temper, when he comes back, I will definitely teach him a good lesson." ”
"Old lady, it's okay, Zhao Gongzi may really have something urgent, Yue'er won't blame, and it's true that Yue'er bothered today." Li Yue didn't get angry either, Li Yue looked at the back of Zhao Gao leaving, and didn't know why, she just felt that Zhao Gao was different, different from the people under her father's name, and would not flatter herself all day long, Li Yue felt that Zhao Gao had a backbone, and Li Yue felt that she liked Zhao Gao more and more, so she secretly swore in her heart that Zhao Gao must fall under her pomegranate skirt.
Seeing that Li Yue was not angry, the old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then praised with a smile: "Fourth Miss is really magnanimous. ”
"Why is the old lady so polite, just call me Yue'er." Li Yue thought about Zhao Gao, so she wanted to please the old lady, so she said to the old lady with a smile.
"Yue'er is good, let Yue'er be close, and call the fourth lady Yue'er after the old student." When the old lady heard Li Yue's words, her heart became even happier, it seemed that what she was thinking was true, and the four young ladies seemed to really like her son.
Li Yue chatted with the old lady for a while and left, in front of the Zhao Mansion, the old lady took Li Yue's hand and said closely: "Yue'er will often come to accompany the old man when she is free in the future." ”
"Okay, old lady, Yue'er will come often in the future." Li Yue said with a smile on her face.
"Okay, good, Yue'er is so good." The old lady said very happily.
"Old lady, Yue'er is leaving." Li Yue saluted the old lady and said.
"Okay, okay, be careful on the road." The old lady did not stop her, and said with a smile on her face.
Li Yue was helped into the carriage by the maidservant, and the moment she sat down in the carriage, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and as the carriage walked slowly, Li Yue said to her personal maid with a disgusted face: "Quickly take a handkerchief to wipe my hands clean, that dead old woman, dare to grab my hands, it's really disgusting." ”
Ru'er, the personal maid beside Li Yue, has been with Li Yue for many years, what kind of person Li Yue is, of course she knows it well, only to see Ru'er immediately take out the handkerchief that had been prepared, carefully wipe it for Li Yue, and don't forget to say: "That old woman is too bold, how noble is the fourth lady, how can she touch it." ”
"If I hadn't looked at Zhao Gao's face, how would I have come to such a broken place, and I really thought that I was in my eyes." At this time, Li Yue was already gone, the smile on her face just now was gentle and considerate, but now she has a completely rude, willful, and vicious expression.
"That's it, that's Zhao Gao too, don't look at what he is, the fourth miss came to thank him, and he dared to show the fourth lady's face, I think he just doesn't want a small life, if the adults know, they will definitely make him look good." Ru'er saw that her young lady was so disgusted with the old lady, so she continued to speak, trying to smooth her young lady's anger.
However, what I didn't expect was that Li Yue's eyes flashed with viciousness, and a slap slapped Ru'er's face, Ru'er instantly had a red mark on her face, and then slowly swollen, Ru'er was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, Li Yue said fiercely to Ru'er who was kneeling in front of her: "The person I'm looking at, how can you talk nonsense, you cheap maid want to say that Miss Ben's vision is not good?" ”
"No, no, the fourth miss is the slave and the maid is wrong, the slave and the maid should not talk nonsense, the slave and the maid slapped their own mouths, begging the fourth miss not to be angry anymore." Ru'er slapped herself while talking, because she wanted Li Yue to dissipate her anger, Ru'er hit very well, and the carriage was full of slaps for a while, and Ru'er's face was also red.
After a while, Li Yue was deflated and said slowly: "Enough, it's noisy." ”
When Ru'er heard Li Yue say this, she immediately stopped, for fear of making Li Yue angry again, Ru'er looked at Li Yue cautiously, and Li Yue said dissatisfiedly: "What do you see, why don't you come over and help me wipe my hands clean." ”
"Yes, Miss Four." Ru'er immediately stepped forward after hearing the order and slowly wiped her hands for Li Yue.
Li Yue looked at her hands, suddenly frowned and pushed Ru'er away, and then said irritably: "Forget it, I'll go back to the house later, bathe and change clothes for me, and then throw this set of clothes away for me." ”
"Yes, miss." Ru'er didn't dare to speak anymore after this palm, but replied respectfully on the side.
"You go back to the house later, find someone to inquire about what Zhao Gao likes and what interests and hobbies he has, and then report to me." Li Yue continued.
"Okay, Miss Four." Ru'er replied, and then looked at Li Yue cautiously, with an expression that wanted to stop talking.
Seeing this, Li Yue said impatiently: "You can say whatever you want, what kind of expression do you have, it's so ugly." ”
"Fourth Miss, if you really like Zhao Gongzi, you can go and tell the adults, with your identity, I think that Zhao Gongzi will definitely fall in love with Fourth Miss, why bother." Ru'er asked with a puzzled expression.
"What do you know, the person that Miss Ben fancies can be such a layman, if such a person is like my eyes, why should I be too good to that damn old woman." Li Yue looked at Ru'er with an arrogant face and said: "The person I fancy will definitely not be the kind of flattering person, Zhao Gao, I will definitely let him willingly bow down under my pomegranate skirt." ”
"Of course, regardless of the fact that Miss Fourth is the most beloved daughter of adults, just because of Miss Four's beauty, how can a man in the world not be tempted." Ru'er saw that Li Yue really took a fancy to Zhao Gao, and immediately patted her horse and said.
"That's nature." Li Yue was very satisfied with Ru'er's words, then looked at Ru'er's already red and swollen face, and said with a disgusted face: "Later, let me go back to the house, go get some medicine and wipe it, it's ugly and dead, and it's a shame to take it out." ”
"Miss Xie Si reward, Miss Xie Si reward." When Ru'er heard Li Yue's words, she immediately knelt down happily and kowtowed to thank her.
Li Yue looked at Ru'er, who was desperately kowtowing to thank her, with a sneer on her face, she was really a lowly person.
On the other side, after Zhao Gao left, he came to Meng Tian's place, Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao, who came to his house early in the morning, and said helplessly: "What are you doing so early?" Coming for breakfast? ”
"Lao Meng, you are a worm in my stomach, how do you know that I am here for breakfast." Zhao Gao had a rogue expression on his face and said to Meng Tian with a smile.
"Your family, there is no rice?" Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched a few times and said.
"Where, Li Yue came to the door early this morning and said that she was grateful for saving her life, she was annoyed to death, how dare I stay at home, can't I only take refuge with you?" Zhao Gao said helplessly.
"Li Yue? Lees's fourth daughter? Meng Tian asked curiously: "I heard that these four young ladies are arrogant and arrogant, how can they come to thank you in person, should it be that they have taken a fancy to you?" ”
"Hey, hey, Lao Meng, don't talk nonsense, don't scare me." Zhao Gao said with a frightened face after hearing this.
"It's hard to guarantee, yesterday your hero saved the beauty, maybe people secretly agreed?" Meng Tian spoke like this for the first time, looking at Zhao Gao's expression, Meng Tian smiled in his heart for a while.
