Chapter 045: Xiaoqing Comes to Visit
Another seven or eight days passed, and on this day, the sun was shining, and Li Xu sat at home doing needlework, humming a small tune involuntarily, happy and contented.
Since his younger brother Xu Xian was angry and went to study, the life of the family has been getting better and better day by day, buying meat for two days to eat, and others used to call him Li Zhutou's wife when he went out, but now when he goes out, others call her the sister of Xu's case.
Her husband became the head catcher in Qiantang County, and if her younger brother successfully passed the exam, she would have nothing to look forward to, and her life would be completely satisfied.
Suddenly, she heard a knock at the door of the courtyard, and she couldn't help but pause her needlework, and as she walked towards the gate of the courtyard, she raised her voice and asked, "Who?" ”
Opening the door, Li Xu was taken aback.
I saw a caravan of men and horses parked outside the gate, and in front of it was a magnificent carriage with two horses, flanked by five brightly dressed servants, and behind the carriage was a group of porters, all of whom carried heavy burdens of gifts on their shoulders.
In her surprise, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a beautiful girl in Tsing Yi poked out of it and got out of the carriage.
The girl in Tsing Yi walked up to Li Xu's, Ying Ying bowed, and said with great blessings: "Mrs. Li, hello." ”
"Who are you, who are you? Are you looking for the wrong door? Li Xu said a little openly, her eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the pair of Danfeng eyes of the girl in Tsing Yi, and she only felt that these Danfeng eyes were extremely smart and seemed to be able to speak.
Unexpectedly, the girl in Tsing Yi smiled slightly and said, "You are Xu Gongzi's sister?" ”
"I am." Li Xu nodded subconsciously and asked, "Are you ......?"
The girl in Tsing Yi did not answer immediately, but looked left and right.
Li Xu reacted, immediately got out of the way, and invited the girl in Tsing Yi to come in.
Entering the courtyard, the girl in Tsing Yi immediately bowed deeply to Li Xu's very solemnly: "The little woman Cen Biqing pays a visit to her benefactor's sister." ”
It turned out that the girl in Tsing Yi was Xiaoqing.
"Benefactor?" Li Xu was even more confused.
Xiaoqing immediately explained: "Xu Gongzi has a great grace to me, you are his sister, naturally you are the sister of the benefactor." ”
"Hanwen saved you?" Li Xu said in surprise, "Why don't I know? ”
Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi is noble, naturally he won't say much about this matter." However, the little woman can't take the life-saving grace to heart, so she brought a gift today and came to the door to thank her. ”
After speaking, she turned to the people behind her and ordered, "All the gifts are moved in and placed." ”
Li Xu hurriedly waved his hand and shouted in refusal: "No, no, no......"
Shouting to prevent the porter and slave from putting the gifts into the house.
However, she was immediately pulled by Xiaoqing.
"Sister, don't refuse a little of my thoughts, okay?" Xiaoqing said, "If I refuse even this little bit of heart, how can I feel at ease?" A lifetime of guilt in my conscience. ”
As he spoke, the five ghosts had already instructed the hired porter to move all the gifts into the house.
Li Xu saw that he couldn't stop it, so he had to sigh and respond: "Okay, I'll accept it for Hanwen for the time being, but with so many gifts, Hanwen won't accept it." ”
"My little sister has quite a few assets in her family, and this gift is not worth mentioning, and I can't repay my son's great kindness to me at all." Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Li Xu didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say, "Miss Cen, please sit in the room." ”
Xiaoqing naturally would not refuse, she took advantage of Xu Xian's absence to visit her door this time, just to deal with Li Xu's family, so she generously followed Li Xu's into the hall.
Sitting down in the hall, Xiaoqing "reported to her family" and said: "My little sister's ancestors used Sichuan CD to sell medicinal materials in business for generations, but her parents passed away last year. The little sister didn't want to see things and think about people in CD anymore, so she sold her home, went out of Sichuan with money, and came to Qiantang County, preparing to open another pharmacy in Qiantang County. ”
When Li Xu heard this, he was quite sympathetic and pitiful, and said with empathy: "Poor child." Our Xu family has also been engaged in business and selling medicinal materials for generations, and Hanwen's parents died early, leaving only me and Hanwen as a pair of orphans. Finally, God had mercy, Hanwen and I did not starve to death, and finally grew up after several hardships. ”
"It turns out that my sister and Xu Gongzi also have such a tragic experience...... Xiaoqing said, turning her face and covering her face with her long sleeves, while taking out a silk handkerchief and pretending to wipe her tears, making a choked sobbing sound.
Li Xu has really experienced these hardships, and when he was touched at this time, where could he still hold back, and he couldn't help crying.
For a moment, the two women cried together.
Xiaoqing pretended to cry for a while, and felt that the heat was almost over, so she stopped pretending to cry, and blamed herself for Li Xu's comfort: "Sister, don't cry." It's all my bad, let you ......"
"I can't blame you," Li Xu reluctantly collected his tears, and suddenly became much closer to Xiaoqing, who was "sympathetic", and cared for Xiaoqing, "Miss Cen, what are your plans to go to Qiantang County besides opening a pharmacy?" ”
Xiaoqing immediately seized the opportunity and said, "What can I do as a lonely and weak woman?" In addition to opening a pharmacy, I can only hope to find a reliable man to rely on. ”
When Li Xu heard this, he subconsciously looked at Xiaoqing's appearance and figure again. At this time, Xiaoqing's face was still covered with tears, and she looked so moving, I saw pity, what a beautiful embryo, Li Xu's heart suddenly moved.
……
After a full hour, Xiaoqing walked out of the courtyard gate under Li Xu's affectionate hand.
"Sister, please stop." Xiaoqing said reluctantly.
Li Xu really reluctantly let go of Xiaoqing's jade hand, and advised: "Sister, you must pay attention to safety when you are alone, and be vigilant in everything." If you have any difficulties, remember to ask your sister for help, your brother-in-law is on an errand in the yamen and can help. ”
"Got it, thank you, sister." Xiaoqing Yingying bowed down and thanked her.
Li Xu hurriedly reached out to help Xiaoqing, patted Xiaoqing's little hand, and said, "What are you polite to me." You and I have had the same unfortunate experience as Hanwen, and I have long regarded you as my own sister in my heart. ”
"I'm afraid that Xu Gongzi doesn't think so." Xiaoqing whispered, and at the end of the powder blushed and lowered her head.
Li Xu saw it in his eyes, where he didn't understand what Xiaoqing meant, and immediately said: "He dares?!" Sister is as big as a mother, if he dares to treat you badly, I will cut him! ”
"Thank you, sister." Xiaoqing bowed down again and thanked him.
Li Xu held Xiaoqing, and his heart blossomed.
She is very satisfied with Xiaoqing, not to mention the same life experience, she is very good-looking, has a gentle personality, knows how to repay her kindness, and has a rich dowry, cough cough, and has a rich family.
Where can I find such a brother and daughter-in-law?
Finally, the two said goodbye, Xiaoqing boarded the luxurious two-horse carriage and left, Li Xu watched the carriage go away, and then turned around and went back to the house with an expectant smile on his face.
In the carriage, without outsiders, Xiaoqing recovered her personality and said to herself proudly: "Xu Xian's sister is so easy to deceive, she can be dealt with so easily." In two or three days, Xu Xian should leave Muyang Academy to prepare for the exam in Lin'an Mansion, and I will go to Muyang Academy to pick him up in person. ”
"Hehe, Xu Xian, you can't escape from the palm of my Xiaoqing's hand!"
