An Xiabai was embarrassed to say that she saw the scene of her fighting with Zheng Zhinan when she was wandering around, so she smiled and said: "Madame has a temperament on her body, and judging from the dress on her body, you can see at a glance that she is not an ordinary person, and I guess it." ”

"It's really amazing, no wonder Ah Xiao always praised you with a letter from me before."

When Liu Zhen laughed, it was like a flower blooming in spring, and An Xiabai was not joking when she praised her temperament. This Liu Zhen is not very outstanding in appearance, but she is dressed very elegantly, and there is always a feeling of comfort when she is close to her, especially when Liu Zhen smiles, this kind of warmth and daring becomes more and more obvious.

However, An Xiabai did not ignore the core issue.

"Hasn't Ah Xiao come back yet?"

She keenly noticed just now that when Mrs. Zheng Liu Zhen mentioned Yang Xiao, she was talking about the letter, not face to face, which means that Yang Xiao has not returned to Luoyang City?

This thought made An Xiabai feel flustered.

According to the time, even if Yang Xiao stops and stops all the way, he should return to Luoyang, why hasn't anyone come back yet?

Could it be that something happened on the way?

People start from Lingcheng, and An Xiabai naturally puts the responsibility on himself. I saw her looking at Liu Zhen expectantly, but the other party couldn't understand her mood at this time.

Because Yang Xiao really didn't come back.

"Hasn't Ah Xiao been in Lingcheng all along, when did he come back?"

An Xiabai's whole heart was cold.

"A month ago, Ah Xiao left Lingcheng, saying that she wanted to go home to see her relatives at home, according to her footsteps, the slowest is half a month to arrive, but why hasn't she returned to Luoyang today?"

Liu Zhen also panicked. Yang Xiao is her best friend, although the two are not related by blood, they have long been sisters to each other, and now that Yang Xiao is suddenly all the same, of course she is worried. But after all, she is a young lady from a big family, even if she is flustered, her face is not revealed, and she only asks An Xiabai, have you seen any suspicious people on the way here?

An Xia Bai shook his head.

This trip from Lingcheng to Luoyang, they didn't have time to hurry, where did they have time to care about the suspicious characters on the road.

Seeing Anxia Bai Xinjide's appearance, Lu Li held her hand and hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, don't panic, Miss Yang Xiao is not an ordinary person, she hasn't returned to Luoyang yet, maybe something is delayed, or it's not impossible to take a detour when something happens, I'll send someone to look around along the route from Luoyang to Lingcheng later, she will definitely be fine." ”

That's the only way to do it now.

After An Xiabai asked Yang Xiao, he asked about the Yang family.

At the beginning, I passed through Luoyang, but the Yang family helped, and now it is rare to come here, of course, I have to come to thank you. Before coming, An Xiabai had already thought about these things.

After asking someone for the address of the Yang family, An Xiabai asked Lu Li to carry the special products brought from Lingcheng to the Yang family with large bags and small bags.

On the way, Lu Li couldn't help but joke and said: "No wonder Mrs. insisted on bringing so many things when she came, it turned out that she wanted to send the old lady of the Yang family." Madame, why didn't you tell me about this earlier, if you did, I might have been able to help you choose. ”

An Xiabai knew that he wanted to relieve his feelings, so he smiled facelessly.

"I don't believe in your level of selection."

If Lu Li is asked to choose the gifts for Mrs. Yang, maybe he will pick out those gold, silver and jewelry, but the Yang family is not short of these things, and the business family, it is estimated that the most important thing is silver, right? It was precisely because of this consideration that An Xiabai specially brought Lingcheng's specialties over.

The elderly should like this kind of gift that can represent their hearts, right?

An Xiabai thought worriedly.

The two came to the door of Yang's house together.

"My surname is An, I came to meet your old lady, dare to ask if the old lady is at home?"

The watchman's eyes swept over Lu Li and An Xiabai, nodded respectfully and said, "The old lady is in the mansion, please wait for a while." ”

is worthy of being the descendant of a big family, and even the etiquette is much more thoughtful than the average person, obviously they haven't figured out the identities of An Xiabai and Lu Li, so they have already invited people in, and then they also offered almost, this general treatment of a distinguished guest made An Xiabai a little flattered.

"It's General Lu and his wife, right?"

When An Xiabai and Lu Li were confused, the old lady walked in from outside the door.

It was an old lady with kind eyes, even if she was old, she still walked like a gust of wind, causing her head to be full of silver frost like snow, looking at her smiling appearance, An Xiabai suddenly remembered the Jiang family who was far away in Lingcheng, and her heart suddenly became a little more kind.

"We haven't reported our names yet, but I didn't expect the old lady to guess who we are."

"Isn't it? Since Mrs. Zheng sent us the news that the two distinguished guests were coming to Luoyang, I knew that Mrs. Lu and General Lu would definitely come back and were looking forward to it. ”

"No wonder the janitor let us in as soon as he heard my surname, it turned out that the old lady had ordered us in advance."

An Xiabai didn't think that the old lady was looking forward to her arrival so much because she liked herself, she felt that the more reason was Yang Xiao, it was estimated that the old lady wanted to ask about Yang Xiao.

Alas, it's a pity that I can't give her an accurate reply.

After the two laughed and greeted for a while, the old lady turned her gaze to the objects brought by Lu Li.

"What are these?"

An Xia smiled shyly and said: "It was a Lingcheng specialty that I brought to the old lady, I heard Ah Xiao talk about the old lady's preferences when I was in Lingcheng before, so I picked some of the old lady's likes and brought them over." ”

The old lady sighed: "What a good boy. ”

Xu is An Xiabai's deliberate choice of gifts touched the old lady's heart, or maybe because An Xiabai and Yang Xiao are of the same age, and the two are friends, the old lady really likes An Xiabai, not only took the initiative to take her hand to chat, but also asked An Xiabai and Lu Li to stay for a light meal at night.

"I heard that Ah Xiao said that Mrs. Lu used to open a restaurant in the capital, and her craftsmanship was first-class——"

Before the old lady could finish speaking, An Xiabai said, "If the old lady likes it, I can cook a delicious meal for the old lady myself." ”

Her sincerity evoked a gentler smile from the old lady.

"I want the kitchen to cook a meal to taste often, but not today, Mrs. Lu is a guest, where is there a reason to let guests cook in the past, let my granddaughter come." As she spoke, the old lady pulled out a shy girl from the side.

In fact, it is not right to say that it is a girl, this one knows that she is not young at a glance, but the bun she pulls is not a woman's bun.

"This is Ah Xiao's eldest sister, right? I heard her mention it in Lingcheng before. ”

"That's her, my granddaughter, although her skills are not as good as Mrs. Lu's, but the taste is not bad, why don't you let her cook a table of wine and food tonight? When Mrs. Lu tastes it, she can also give her advice. ”

Just as the old lady was speaking, Yang Yi raised her eyes and smiled softly at An Xiabai, and her good impression suddenly came.

"Then it's going to trouble my sister."

The people of the Yang family were obviously prepared to entertain the guests, saying that they were going to invite An Xiabai and Lu Li to have a light meal, but it didn't take long for the dishes to be served, which showed that they were prepared to entertain them in advance, which made An Xiabai feel ashamed in his heart.

"Ah Xiao is in Lingcheng, and our Yang family has no acquaintances over there, so we can only ask General Lu and Mrs. Lu to take care of them more," the old lady said with a smile, "This child has always acted in a hurry, and no one can control her temper, I hope she didn't collide with General Lu and Mrs. Lu when she was in Lingcheng." ”

Anxia diphtheria choked and was a little speechless.

The Yang family treated them like this, but they couldn't even figure out where Yang Xiao was now, and they were really a little ashamed.

Fortunately, at this time, Lu Li reacted, and said to the old lady before An Xiabai opened his mouth: "Miss Yang Xiao has helped us a lot in Lingcheng, it is us, and the benefactor of the entire Lingcheng, where can we say that we are responsible?" What's more, Miss Yang Xiao had never caused trouble when she was in Lingcheng. ”

Hearing Lu Li say this, the old lady was completely relieved.

"I'm old, and now the only thing I think about is Ah Xiao's child, but she is running around, and she hasn't been idle that day, when I heard that she went to Lingcheng, I was scared a lot, until recently, the people said that Lingcheng's situation is getting better and better, and I can sleep well, otherwise I don't know when to worry."

As he spoke, the food and drinks were already on the table.

Yang Yi's craftsmanship is indeed not as good as An Xiabai, but the craftsmanship is quite good compared to ordinary people, the dishes served are all colorful, fragrant, and almost not good, and everyone present has a feeling of moving their index fingers when they see it.

The old lady smiled and asked everyone to take their seats.

"Yi'er's craftsmanship is not very good, Mrs. Lu has to say more after trying it, so that she can correct it in the future."

"Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely give it a try."

An Xiabai's gaze swept over the dining table, and finally landed on a green vegetable.

Her expression became more and more solemn as the fragrance emanated.

The old lady didn't know why, and asked with a frown: "Is Mrs. Lu taboo this dish, if you don't like it, I'll let people take it down." ”

"It's not a taboo, but this dish can't be eaten,"

If she remembers correctly, the green vegetables on this table are a kind of poisonous vegetables, and their toxicity is almost the same as poison, once a person eats it, if he is not sent to the hospital in time, he may die.

Looking at the old lady's surprised look, it was obvious that it was not her intention to bring this poisonous vegetable to the table.

"Why can't I eat this green?"

"Old lady, I have seen this green dish, when I opened a restaurant in the capital before, I studied many dishes, and I am proficient in distinguishing dishes. This kind of dish is generally used to extract poison, and it is a veritable poisonous vegetable, and people will die if they eat it. ”

The old lady's face changed suddenly: "How can this dish be ...... Mrs. Lu, it was definitely an accident that this dish was brought to the table. ”
