Chapter 157: Help Me with a Message
The Li family has a guest coming to the door today.
The maid walked into the house with the refreshments, put down the refreshments in her hand, poured the tea for the guests, and then retreated to the door, waiting for the summons of the guests.
This series of movements did not make a sound from beginning to end, just because this was the most delicate maid taught by the entire Li family, and he came here to serve a guest, which shows that this guest's identity is by no means ordinary.
It's just that the contradiction is that the old lady Li, who is in charge of the family, is not in the house.
Such an attitude is a bit strange, dignified but not respectful enough.
"Why did grandfather come out?" In the pavilion in the east and west corners, Li Zhao, who was talking to the little guy next to him, walked out of the pavilion and faced the oncoming old lady Li.
Old lady Li smiled and said disapprerovingly: "A few cups of tea and water, it's just convenient to come out." ”
There is only a pavilion in the east and west corners of Loei, but there is no other place, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to come here.
It seemed that the grandfather had something to say, and Li Zhao helped the old lady Li into the pavilion.
The little maid Wenzhu also walked outside the pavilion and waited.
"San Lang, do you know who this person is who came to the door today?" Old lady Li sat down and spoke.
Li Zhao nodded and said, "I saw the famous post, it is the father of the original young lady, the original third master of the original family in Chang'an. ”
"What do you guess he's here for today?" Old lady Li asked him with a smile.
Li Zhao shook his head: "I don't know," after a pause, he added, "Maybe it has something to do with Miss Yuan?" ”
"It's related to his daughter, but it's not this daughter," Old Lady Li said and couldn't help but snort, as if he had thought of something funny, "He came to be a matchmaker with you for his other daughter." ”
How can you be a matchmaker who comes to your own door? It can be seen that he is contemptuous, or maybe he looks down on his Li family, a local wealthy family in Jinling, or looks down on the lintel of his original house, such a high-minded attitude of charity, which really makes people laugh.
Li Zhao suddenly said: "Could it be Miss Qiao?" ”
"yes!" Old lady Li said, glancing at him, "He ran to Jinling by himself." ”
As soon as Miss Hara appeared, there were already speculations about many things, such as "stand-in". This matter does not need to be explained, just seeing those two girls is enough to guess. And Miss Qiao, as a stand-in, is strange that she can like this biological father. Originally, I didn't know how to find this person, but at this time, the original third master actually ran to Jinling by himself and explained his identity.
What is this not like a joke?
Li Zhao was also silent, and after a moment, he slowly spoke: "Grandfather means to tell Miss Qiao?" ”
Old lady Li suddenly laughed: "That's what the old man meant. You send someone to Yuhang to inform Miss Qiao, who has clear grievances and will be revenged, and said that a person who claims to be her father has come to my Li family, and my Li family will keep this person for her for a day, if she wants to see it, come and take a look! ”
……
……
In front of the Yuhang County Ya, Master Zhou, who opened a tofu shop in the city, took his sister and niece to surround the official in front of the county yaqian and asked, "Lord Du is back?" ”
The official shook his head and said, "Lord Du will be back in two days." ”
Master Zhou rubbed his hands, couldn't help but glance at his sister-in-law, and after receiving the eyes of Second Mrs. Fang, he hardened his head again and continued: "Poor master, it's like this." My sister and niece are going back to Jinling, the last time Rongfu Zhai, the county government said that my sister and niece are not allowed to leave Yuhang until Lord Du returns, but this ......"
The sister-in-law and niece wanted to go back to Jinling, but he had no choice.
The official was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "I remember, you are a guest at the table where your head is smashed." ”
As soon as these words came out, Master Zhou only felt a chill on the back of his neck, subconsciously touched his head, and then nodded: "Yes, yes." ”
Who knew that a good end would come across such a thing when he went out for a cup of tea?
Last night, I heard that Wanning Guan had walked a lot of carriages in front of him, and the seriously injured guard was also taken away, so the girl urged him to come over and ask if he could go back to Jinling.
I don't know if I was scared by the events of that day, my sister-in-law and niece are always restless these days, chattering to go back to Jinling, he was urged in a hurry, and there was no way.
"But Master Du hasn't come back yet." The official looked at them and shook his head, and said, "You are the witnesses of that day, this is ......."
"Let them in!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice, and an official came out of the county office, looked at them and said, "But Master Zhou and the second lady and second miss of the Fang family?" ”
This poor master actually knows their names? Master Zhou was excited, and said a few words about the truth, but the official who came out had already walked over, looked around them, and then turned around and said, "Come with me, write a good testimony, and your sister and niece can go back to Jinling." ”
Second Mrs. Fang and Fang Xiuting immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and almost pulled Master Zhou, who was still in a daze, to follow the official errand.
Thankfully, there is still some humanity in this Yuhang County Ya, and today, they will be able to return to Jinling.
Master Zhou still seemed to be a little puzzled: "Poor master, didn't you say that my sister and niece couldn't leave before Master Du came back?" ”
Before the words fell, Master Zhou was kicked by Second Mrs. Fang.
"You talk a lot!" Second Lady Fang said in a low voice, this brother of his, is good anywhere, but he is too honest.
The official who was leading the way in front of them didn't see the small movements between them, but stopped suddenly, then raised his chin and pointed forward: "It's Miss Qiao who said that she knows Second Lady Fang and Second Miss Fang, so you want to write and thank Miss Qiao!" ”
The girl drinking tea on the chair in front of her seemed to notice their presence and turned her head to look this way.
Master Zhou immediately recognized the girl in front of him: "Oh, it's the young lady Rongfuzhai that day." ”
He still remembers the girl.
The girl smiled at them.
An exclamation sounded immediately behind him, Master Zhou turned around, and saw his sister-in-law and niece hugging each other, his face was pale, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and hurriedly explained to the girl: "This Miss Qiao, my sister-in-law and niece are timid, and this is the case after being frightened by the events of that day." ”
"It's okay, it's just human nature." That Miss Qiao was very kind.
It's really a soft-spoken girl who knows everything at a glance. Master Zhou sighed with emotion: Somehow, he would provoke such a murderer.
"This Master Zhou, I know Second Lady Fang and Second Miss Fang, and I want to say a few words to the two of them, okay?" The girl paused, then spoke again.
Master Zhou subconsciously glanced at his sister-in-law, and saw that his sister-in-law was just holding her niece and didn't speak, so she agreed, and hurriedly retreated to the door with the official errand on the side.
After they left, Qiao Ran walked over, came to the side of Second Lady Fang and Fang Xiuting, smiled, and showed her white teeth: "I don't eat people, what are you afraid of?" ”
Fang Xiuting's head had been buried in the arms of Second Lady Fang since she saw her, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Do you know we are in Yuhang? ”
The girl nodded and gave them a strange look: "Naturally." Although there were many people that day, I could still see the two of you at a glance. ”
It's as if they had seen her.
She is also very strange, how these two people seem to have changed sex, it stands to reason that when they see her, they should run out and make trouble, but these days they are hiding and disappearing, it's really strange.
Although she felt strange, Qiao Ran continued to speak, she sighed, and her tone sounded quite regretful: "I should have come to see you a long time ago, but for the sake of Ah Sheng, it was delayed." ”
Second Mrs. Fang hugged Fang Xiuting and trembled even more: "You...... What are you going to do? We didn't mess with you this time! ”
"I say this as if I were some heinous wicked man." The girl shook her head helplessly and sighed, "It just so happens that the two of you are going back to Jinling, I just want to ask you two to help me bring a message to Mrs. Fang." ”
