On the twenty-third day of the first month, the birthday banquet of the lord of Anping.

On this day, the warm winter sun made a rare appearance, and in the small courtyard of Yunxi Pavilion, the red plum stood tremblingly on the branches, carrying the food box in shock, and rushed into the warm pavilion tremblingly.

And a cold wind blew from her, and the red plum that was leaning on her head suddenly fell to the ground.

Xie Li glanced at it lightly, and saw that the red plum was annihilated on the soles of the stunned feet.

"Girl, this morning Mrs. Zhang made thin noodles and went through the hot chicken soup, which is your favorite."

Shocked took the food box to the little girl Qingmei who was waiting on the side, and let out a breath of white air.

Qingmei neatly arranged the chicken noodle soup and delicious side dishes one by one, and Xie Li's eyes moved from the red plum that fell into the snow.

Such a good color will only happen overnight after all.

"Girl, you ...... Feeling bad? Seeing that Xie Li was persistent, but he didn't pick one up for a long time, he asked cautiously.

Xie Li glanced lazily and lightly hooked his lips: "It's okay, I ate a little too much last night, and I'm not hungry now." ”

The corners of his mouth squirmed, and he lowered his head slightly, but finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Girl, are you afraid?" ”

Xie Li looked over in confusion, his eyes were as clear and translucent as a deer in the forest, which made his heart soften.

"Don't be afraid, girl, the slave will definitely protect you. If...... If the Lord of Anping County does something to you, I will definitely tell Master Hou! ”

Xie Li: ......

Was the original Xie Li so useless?

Just as he was about to speak, Bai Lu took out the rose-red coat from the back wing.

Hearing the conversation between the stunned sting and Xie Li, she quietly slammed the stunned Nunu mouth, signaling the stunned sting not to "make a big fuss".

"Girl, wear this today?"

Xie Li nodded.

At this moment, a little girl recklessly broke in.

The person who came was Banxia beside Xie Chen.

"Say hello to the eldest lady, the lady and the second lady are already in front of the door, send the slave maid to invite the eldest lady."

Banxia saw that there was still a small half bowl of chicken soup shredded noodles on the table, and said subconsciously.

"Miss, Master Hou said, who knows that Chinese food is hard work. Never let us waste food.

This chicken soup shredded noodles are the most particular, so you can eat a little more. ”

After speaking, Banxia looked at Xie Li with a smile.

Xie Li didn't make a sound, Bai Lu and Shocking didn't make a sound, the two of them respectfully waited for Xie Li to put on the big hat, and then the master and servant stepped over the middle summer without squinting and walked out.

Banxia, who was left aside for the first time, widened his eyes and suddenly raised his voice as he watched the three of them cross the threshold.

"Miss!"

However, as soon as the words came out, Banxia himself was stunned.

Although in the past, she was "a fox and a fake tiger", always holding chicken feathers as arrows, but she has never been so "presumptuous".

In the past, at most, it was just a few slaps in the face of stings and white dew in a place where no one was.

So, Banxia chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Xie Li.

But he didn't think about it, Xie Li stood still.

"What else?"

A light and light question, but Banxia gave birth to a chill from the bottom of his heart.

Is the person in front of you really the eldest lady who is outward and ruined?

"I didn't ...... All right. ”

Xie Li nodded, suddenly raised his hand and tore off a red plum on his head, and threw it to the ground.

"It's time to clean up this Yunxi Pavilion's ghostly spirit."

"Yes, girl." Bai Lu glanced at Banxia, "I heard that the concierge Gu's mother's dog gave birth to a cub, and it was cold this day, so the slave maid asked for a favor for this little cub, so I gave it this noodle." ”

The corners of Xie Li's mouth twitched, his eyes lowered to look at Bai Lu, who had a serious face, and he also let out a serious "um".

Then in the stunned eyes of Banxia, the three of them walked away.

What kind of obfuscation operation is this?

After half a summer, he consciously pinched himself.

"Hell, why is this eldest lady suddenly so good at burying people?"

In the past, Xie Li was empty and beautiful, had no brains, and was always straightforward.

Shouldn't there be a big fuss in this case?

What's going on?

Xie Li, who walked out of Yunxi Pavilion, finally couldn't help the reserved corners of his lips, and hooked it fiercely.

"Bai Lu, you're really slippery."

Bai Lu deliberately pouted at Nunu behind her, "The girl used to be too used to these people. ”

This is a pun, on the one hand, it reminds Xie Li of what he did before, and on the other hand, he tells Xie Li that he should rectify these rebellious "villains".

Xie Li couldn't deny it, and said "um".

As he spoke, he arrived at the door, and saw Xie Chen wearing a red coat, staring indignantly at the three Xie Li who came over.

"Xie Li, today is the birthday banquet of the county lord of Anping, how dare you come so late?"

"Mother is well." However, Xie Li directly skipped Xie Chen's aggressive question, and instead curtsied to Mrs. Wang, who walked over quickly.

Mrs. Wang, who had prepared a basket of words of relief, suddenly froze in place, as if she didn't know Xie Li, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Xie Li.

"Ma'am." Mother Rong, who was one step behind Mrs. Wang, stepped forward, "It's time to go." ”

"Huh? Oh, yes, let's go, let's go. Chen'er, Li'er, let's go. ”

Mrs. Wang took the lead in getting into the carriage, and Xie Chen, who was left aside by Xie Li, glanced at Xie Li fiercely, and got into the carriage in front of Xie Li as if angry.

At this time, Xie Li saw Xie Tian who was shrinking behind Mrs. Wang.

A bright green cross-collar dress, and a dark green coat, make her more elegant, light and supple.

"Fourth sister." Xie Li glanced Xie Tian up and down, "This dress is like a sprout in early spring, it's pitiful." ”

"It's not as good as the big sister's temperament." Xie Tian bent his knees, looking pitiful again.

The two of them stepped forward and got into another carriage.

In the Furong Pavilion, Mrs. Lu closed her eyes and slowly turned the Buddha beads in her hand.

"Old lady, eldest lady, they have already gone out." Linlang lifted the curtain and walked in.

"How's the big girl?"

"I've gone out without a hitch."

Linlang replied in a low voice, subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Lu, and saw her waving her hand lightly, and Linlang retreated.

"You say, is it okay for a big girl?" After a while, Old Madam Lu sighed and suddenly asked.

I poured a cup of tea from my mother and put it on the small coffee table on the kang.

"After all, the eldest lady is also a famous family, she was young and ignorant before, and she was a little willful, but now with the careful teaching of the old lady, she is naturally unparalleled."

"You old mother, but you are flattering the old woman in a different way." Mrs. Lu scolded with a smile, took the tea from Xiang's mother's hand, and sighed again.

"I hope so."
