Chapter 10: The Secret

"I have received this Xuanzhen view by the grace of Mrs. Fang," the master said, sighing, and there was regret in his tone, "Mrs. Fang is an extremely intelligent woman, I originally thought that nothing in this world would be difficult for her, but I didn't want to ...... it."

I don't know if it's the casualness in my bones or I don't treat her as an outsider, after she started calling herself a "poor way", she never called herself a "poor way" anymore, and she spoke like a friend who had a good relationship with her.

Qiao Ran sat down on the futon in front of her: "How is my aunt?" ”

"I don't know." He shook his head as he spoke, and then looked at her, "She asked me to take you in, and she has a word for me to bring to you." ”

Qiao Ran's heart jumped, and she blurted out: "What words?" ”

"She told you not to mind her business." The Guan Zhu glanced at Qiao Ran as he spoke, hesitated slightly, and said, "There is also the second half of the sentence, if you insist on taking care of it, remember not to enter Beijing, not to Chang'an!" ”

Qiao Ran was stunned, and many thoughts flashed through her mind: but those thoughts were so miscellaneous that when she thought about it again, she couldn't grasp it. With a heavy sigh of relief, Qiao Ran looked at the viewer, got up and saluted her: "The little girl knows, thank you for the reminder." ”

The viewer nodded and looked at her, "What else is going on?" ”

She is a cheerful person, Qiao Ran did not squirm, and shook her head: "If there is something, the little girl will come to find you." ”

"Okay." The viewer responded with a "yes", grabbed the dust that she threw aside, shook it, and said: "The poor road will not leave you, please do it to the master!" ”

began to call himself "Poor Dao" again, Qiao Ran understood, said "Thank you, Lord" and turned around and walked out, before he reached the door, he saw a few Taoist children rushing in.

"Lookout!"

"Lookout!"

……

The little Taoist boys shouted nonsense: "I want the talisman water that Xuanxiang drinks!" ”

"I want it too!"

Guan Lord's eyebrows jumped: "What's the matter?" ”

Xuanxiang, who was hiding behind the little dao boys with her sleeves and her face, quietly raised her head.

This time, Qiao Ran, who had already stepped out of the palace, couldn't help but stop.

Under the sun, Xuanxiang's little face is like a peeled egg: white and tender, even if the facial features are not brilliant enough, it also looks extraordinarily lovely.

Xuanxiang in Su Ri is not like this, Huan's Xuanxiang who runs out all day is a little tanned, and because of greed, occasionally one or two pimples will appear on his face, which surprised everyone.

The viewer just glanced at it lightly, as if he was not surprised, and grabbed a few talismans to those little Taoist boys, but said: "The skin is a thing outside the body, don't be persistent!" ”

Although her mouth was stern, she acted very gently, Qiao Ran looked at her thoughtfully, and her heart should be a cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

The little Taoist children who got the charm ran away happily, and when they passed by her, they would draw gourds and shout, "Lord Qiao is well."

After all, he is still a child, how can he really be an outsider like an adult? Qiao Ran shook her head and was about to leave, but was stopped by the viewer again.

"Miss Qiao," the viewer looked at her, his eyes were subtle, "I drew the talisman myself, I know best how many uses it has, what happened to the bowl of talisman water that Xuanxiang drank?" ”

Qiao Ran was stunned, what happened yesterday flashed in front of her eyes like a horse, she subconsciously rubbed her fingers, and slowly turned her head: "I don't know." ”

The viewer only stared at her eyes for a moment, and then smiled: "There are no outsiders here, so I will say it directly." Miss Qiao, I don't know what's wrong with that bowl of runic water, but it must have something to do with you. ”

"How so?" Qiao Ran's expression remained unchanged.

This look fell on the eyes of the viewer, and she showed a satisfied look: "The husband is innocent and guilty, and Miss Qiao has a secret." But before she could speak, the Guan Zhu said: "It is better to hide the secret that can let the old lady Li not hesitate to let the relatives of his most beloved grandson ask for marriage regardless of the name of the family." Miss Qiao herself understands this truth, and that is the best. ”

"I thought that Old Lady Li was different from those juniors of the Li family," the words had come to this point, and Qiao Ran didn't bother to hide it anymore, just a little embarrassed, "It turns out that this is not the case." ”

"It's just human nature." The Lord said, "Why don't you solve problems that can be solved with money?" The Li family is not short of money. I understand Mrs. Fang, there must be a reason why she protects you so much. On that occasion five years ago, the things given by Old Lady Li were sincere enough, which impressed Mrs. Fang. ”

It's just that I didn't expect the younger generations of the Li family to oppose it, and the old lady suffered a stroke in a hurry, and the matter was over.

"In that case, I have to thank them?" Qiao Ran smiled, noncommittal.

The Lord said, "That's your own business, just remember to hide your secrets." ”

Qiao Ran nodded, her eyes fell on the ruined medical canons beside her, and she paused, "I thought the Lord would let me help." ”

"People like Master Dong don't need your secrets," said the Viewer, "I already have a way." ”

Qiao Ran said goodbye, but this time she was not stopped again, she followed the road back to her small courtyard.

Xu is to solve the problem that has plagued him for a long time, for a few days, Qiao Ran slept very soundly, seeing this red bean only extinguished the idea of going to find the theory of the master, ready to take advantage of this time, to make a few more dresses for her, so that everyone can see that their own young lady is much better looking than that Miss Li.

Qiao Ran only thought it was funny: Hongdou seemed to be completely polar with herself in some ways, and this idea that she used to find extremely boring seemed to Hongdou as if it were a big deal.

The days in the view are plain and comfortable, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

Jinling City under the mountain has quietly begun to be lively.

Seeing a group of noble ladies walking out of the mansion, Li Chen, who had just come back from outside, stepped forward and saluted, called "sister" a few times, and looked at them with a smile in his eyes.

If you don't know this person's nature, just looking at the harmless appearance of this human and animal, I don't know how many people will be deceived by him.

The ladies smiled at him reservedly, got into the carriage and left.

This attitude is completely different from the attitude towards Miss Li and Li Sangongzi. Also, even if Li Chen looks good, but such a gentleman who has a long beauty and a short beauty all day long, even if his surname is Li, it is best to stay away, so as not to say anything clearly.

The attitude of the nobles, Li Chen didn't know, but he didn't care.

He strode into the house and asked, "Sister", even if someone pointed to Miss Li's location.

Miss Li was picking out clothes in her house at this time, and when she saw that Li Chen didn't knock on the door and walked in without anyone knocking, she couldn't help but glance at him, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

is also a younger brother: if the third brother is the dragon and phoenix among the people, the sixth brother is a worm, and somehow the gap is so big. Miss Li has never had a good face towards her sixth brother.

"Eldest sister," Li Chen called to Miss Li, and poured tea for her flatteringly, "You drink tea." ”

Miss Li didn't take his bowl of tea, only sneered and raised her eyes to look at him: "Don't think I don't know what you've been doing lately, the stupid boss of the Qiao family has come to look for you several times." What, have you fallen in love with that broom star? ”

Li Chen laughed twice and said, "The eldest sister still understands me......"

"There are more good-looking people, you can bite whoever you want, but this one can't work." Miss Li said, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, "She makes me feel sick." ”

"It's just a matter of one sentence......

"You know what?" Miss Li stood up suddenly, with a bit of suppressed anger in her tone, "Even if I die, I won't let the people of the Li family have the slightest intersection with that woman!" ”

Li Chen knew that he couldn't move her, so he immediately lowered his face and threw the teacup, turned his head and left.

"Miss." The maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the teacup.

"Thrown!" This shrill voice startled the maid, and she really didn't expect that her own lady, who had always spoken softly, would make such a harsh sound.

Miss Li didn't care about the maid's reaction, but wiped her hands slowly and vigorously with a handkerchief, and the expression on her face was unprecedented and gloomy.

"It's disgusting." Miss Li suddenly spoke three words slowly, and then turned her head to look at the shadows on the side.

There seemed to be a girl standing in the shadows: she looked at her with a disdainful and proud look.

"Who knows if you got the wind in advance and pretended to be there? After all, there are many people in this world who deceive the world and steal their reputation! The girl laughed happily and proudly, "Miss Li said that I guessed randomly, and my guess was justified, not random...... Also, the Li family went around preaching that my aunt cheated on marriage, and it was Mrs. Li who mentioned it in person, what you said and did was contrary to Mrs. Li, contradictory everywhere, yang and yin, partial and self-righteous and noble, and I don't know where the face came from, it is really a 'model of filial piety in Jinling'! ”

"Whoa-" There was a sound, and the celadon tea cup on the table smashed against the wall, and Miss Li suddenly sneered, pointing to the corner of the wall and scolding angrily.

"What are you? You deserve it! ”

"No matter how bastard the sixth is, it's not something you can touch with this mud!"

"Shameless slut!"

……

The maid in the house knelt on the ground, cowering and not daring to speak.

After scolding enough, Miss Li sat down and looked at the maids.

"Get up!" Her voice returned to its previous softness and gentleness, and her words and smiles were clear and dusty, "People think I'm treating you harshly!" ”

"Slaves don't dare." The maids answered with their heads down.

Miss Li hummed, turned her head away and stopped looking at them, her voice moved a little joy and expectation: "What time is the beginning of today?" Count the days, the third brother is coming back! ”

The inspection of Sioux City will soon arrive in Jiangnan Mansion, and there are many young officials in the official ranks, and Li Zhao is also among them.
