Chapter 121: Gifts
The night of the Lantern Festival is always a little more noisy than usual.
On the second day, before Li Suluo could get up, he heard Xiaolian's knock on the door outside.
Xiaolian's knock on the door was very gentle, as if she was tempting.
"Please come in." Li Suluo shouted outside, and then got up from the bed by himself.
When I opened the window, it was already dark.
Li Suo Luo suddenly remembered Xiaolian's words last night, according to the rules, she was going home to visit her family today.
In other words, she needs to go back to Qufu today.
No wonder Xiaolian knocked lightly on the door outside, but she didn't dare to really offend her and wake her up.
Xiaolian outside heard Li Suoluo's words to invite in, so she cautiously pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.
Li Suo Luo glanced at her, and behind this little lotus, there was actually another palace maid.
Xiaolian, on the other hand, was carrying toiletries.
These days, it has always been Xiaolian who takes care of Li Suoluo's washing, and Li Saluo doesn't like too many people, even Mama Du has been turned away.
In the past, Xiaolian would not bring anyone else in, but today she didn't know why.
Li Suo Luohu glanced at the palace maid who came with him suspiciously, and then looked at Xiaolian with an inquiring gaze.
Xiaolian also seemed to realize the doubts in Li Suoluo's heart, and immediately put the toiletries in her hand on the special table on the side, and called the palace maid who followed her to the front.
"Miss, this palace maid claims to be here to give a gift to Miss."
"Gifts?" Li Suluo squinted his eyes and asked.
It's strange who would give her a gift.
Xiaolian was on the side, helping Li Suo Luo to wash, and explained with a smile: "Miss doesn't know, many palace maids will bring some gifts and the like when they return to the palace after visiting relatives, and some people will help others carry them in order to make a little money." ”
The palace maid who followed her bowed, and when she heard Xiaolian's words, she also nodded.
Li Suluo waved at her and said, "You wait next to her first." ”
The palace maid also retreated to the side with amusement, and stood obediently.
Xiaolian continued to wash Li Suoluo.
It's just that I don't know who will bring her a gift, and I don't have any friends, so this so-called gift is definitely not a good thing.
Li Suluo thought like this, and from time to time glanced at the palace maid standing aside.
A small man, he doesn't look very old, but he already has some obvious wrinkles on his face, which seems to be a bad maintenance job, or he may have no money at all.
After all, she was just a palace maid, and if she wasn't short of money, she wouldn't take such a risk to bring her something.
Soon, Xiaolian finished helping Li Suo Luo finish grooming, she found a place to sit down by herself, and beckoned to the palace maid standing aside.
The palace maid was still carrying a burden on her back, obviously, she had just returned from outside the palace, and she had not even had time to go to the residence to put down the burden, so she rushed over directly.
Seeing Li Suoluo's greeting, the palace maid immediately stepped forward to salute.
"What do you have for me?" Li Suo Luo asked.
Only then did the palace maid open her baggage and handed over one of the paintings inside to Li Suoluo.
It was a not very long painting, so it looked small when rolled up, and with a slight pinch, the whole scroll was placed in the palm of your hand.
"Miss Huiyu, this is it." The palace maid said, and gently placed the delicate and small picture scroll in her hand in Li Suoluo's hand.
Li Suluo took the scroll, but did not open it immediately.
"Who asked you to give it to me?" Li Suluo asked.
The palace maid shook her head and said, "The other party didn't say it, the slave maid only knows that it is a man, a very handsome man." ”
A handsome man?
Li Suo Luo was puzzled, maybe only by looking at whether there was any mystery in this painting could he guess who it was.
Just in case, it's better not to let anyone else know about this painting.
Li Suluo glanced at Xiaolian, and Xiaolian immediately nodded in understanding, indicating that she understood.
Li Suluo didn't continue to ask the palace maid questions, this palace maid is probably just the person who the person found to do the work, in fact, except for what she wants to do, she doesn't know anything else at all.
She waved her hand at the palace maid and said, "You can go." ”
The palace maid saluted and slowly withdrew outside the door.
"What is this?" After the palace maid left, Xiaolian pointed to the scroll and asked curiously.
Li Suo Luo shook his head and said, "I don't know what this is, I don't even know who sent it, but, Xiaolian, you have to remember not to tell others about this painting in the future." ”
"Yes Miss." Xiaolian replied.
"Are you going to arrange a trip home today?" Li Suluo asked.
Although she didn't want to go back to that Qufu at all, it was a process that had to be followed, in order to avoid the gossip of outsiders.
At the same time, having received such a painting as a gift this morning, Li Suluo felt that it might be necessary for her to go back to Qufu.
At the very least, she might need to meet this Qu Yu properly.
The titular dad of hers.
At this time, the familiar voice of Du's mother came from outside.
Li Suo Luo and Xiao Lian poked their heads out together and found that Du's mother was poking out her head and watching the two of them from the window.
"Miss, it's time to eat." Mother Du smiled all over her face and said to Li Suoluo.
Li Suluo glanced at her, and she suddenly wondered if Mother Du had ever thought that when she laughed, the flesh on her face was piled together, and the wrinkles were deeper.
But she wouldn't say this in front of Du's mother, after all, Du's mother was also very beautiful when she was young, where could she stand such a statement.
Li Suluo thought about it, but couldn't help but smile in his heart.
There was also an uncontrollable smile on his face.
After getting along these days, she no longer hates this Du's mother as much as she did when she first met.
This hard-mouthed and soft-hearted woman is just that.
Xiaolian stood aside, made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time helped Li Suo Luo open the door of the wing room in front of her.
Li Suo Luo straightened out her clothes, then walked out, walked to Du's mother's side, and let Du's mother take her to the next room next to the kitchen.
Shuying Hall is still different from other palaces, and at the same time, because Li Suo Luo really can't believe that the food coming in from the outside, he has always asked Mother Du to make it herself.
Du's mother is also very happy about this.
Soon, after eating, Li Suo Luo remembered the scroll in her room, perhaps, before going to Qufu, she should have studied the scroll that suddenly appeared.
Thinking so, she was about to get rid of everyone and go back to her room by herself.
Why is it silent
