Chapter 176: Asking for Help

"There's the small family, and maybe the ice." Ruohong thought for a while, looked at Ruoxue and said, "There should still be that prince in the family." ”

Ruoxue nodded and said, "Try it!" ”

She stood up and walked to the opposite wing, looked at Mei Zhiyuan and Mei Zhigao who were guarding here, and finally watched Mei Zhigao call him out, let him die in the courtyard, and ask the prince for some ice to come back.

Mei Zhigao didn't accept it immediately, how could he afford such a difficult task, if he didn't get the ice back, what was wrong with Grandma, wouldn't his sin be great!

Mei Zhigao said hesitantly: "This ...... It's not appropriate for me to go, right?! It's better to let the eldest brother go, he is the eldest grandson, and it is more suitable for him to go than me. ”

Ruoxue saw what he was worried about and said, "You go." I won't blame you if I can't ask for it. ”

Mei Zhigao saw the insistence in Ruoxue's eyes, "Then I can go, don't blame me if you can't come!" He said.

"Well, there you go."

"Okay."

Mei Zhigao turned around and walked out, just out of the Songhe Courtyard, he saw Cailian coming to him, he walked over to Cailian, and said, "What are you doing under the sun?" ”

"I'm willing to run! Uncle Tao is waiting for you at the second gate, go and see, don't let him wait too long. Cai Lian pulled him and pushed him outside.

"Got it."

When Mei Zhigao heard that his uncle was coming, he shook off the hand of the lotus picker, quickened his pace and walked a few steps outside, then turned around and came back to tell the lotus to go back quickly, and then went outside.

Tao Zhe stood in the shade under a big tree, waited for a while, and saw Mei Zhigao come out of the second gate.

Tao Zhe walked over and asked Mei Zhigao why he hadn't gone to school in the past few days, was he sick? Or is something wrong?

Mei Zhigao told him about Mrs. Cao's illness, and Tao Zhe hurriedly asked, "How is your illness?" But does it matter? ”

Mei Zhigao said: "I looked good the day before, and I didn't look at it as a matter of importance."

When I woke up yesterday morning, I couldn't watch it, and I couldn't wake up. I couldn't wake up anymore, so I hurriedly invited Dr. Qi to prescribe medicine, and I didn't wake up until last afternoon. ”

Tao Zhe Lamei Zhigao went to the shade of the tree and asked, "Is it heat stroke, or is it some other disease?" ”

"At first, it was a bit of heat stroke, but last morning Dr. Qi said that it was a stroke, so he took the medicine according to the stroke, and it has been effective after drinking it for a day, and I woke up more energetic this morning." Mei Zhigao finished speaking in one breath, and said that he was going to ask for some ice from others and put it in Mrs. Cao's house to cool down.

Tao Zhe heard that he was going to ask for someone, and he thought that he would help where he could, so he said, "Where are you going to ask?" I'm going with you. ”

Mei Zhigao happily agreed, two people are better than one person, he pulled Tao Zhe and went outside, while telling Tao Zhe that he was going to die in the courtyard and begging Li Tao for ice.

"I heard that the son of the world is not a good person." Tao Zhe said.

The two got into the carriage at the gate of Mei's house, and rode to the courtyard where Li Tao, the prince of King Jin Zhang, lived, and asked the guards to pass the word, and after waiting for a while, the family came out and invited Mei Zhigao and them in.

Mei Zhigao and Tao Zhe were let into a hall and served tea, "Two of you, please sit down first, our prince is meeting guests, and I will come to see you later." Jia Ding said.

The two of them didn't wait for Li Tao, but it was Murong Baotong who came out to see them.

"How did you get here? Is your sister looking for Brother Tao for something? Murong Baotong asked.

Mei Zhigao saw that it was Murong Baotong who came out, and he didn't want to talk to her, for fear that he couldn't help but fight with her again, and if he messed up the matter of begging for ice, it would be worth the loss!

Hearing her ask like this, she got up and said, "Yes, my eldest sister asked me to ask Shizi for some ice." ”

Tao Zhe also stood up with him, looking at the person who came in, I don't know who she is, but she is a good-looking young lady, dressed in extravagant clothes, and there is the momentum of a person who has been in the top position for a long time, which makes people feel awe when they see it.

"Asking for ice?"

Murong Baotong was about to tease a few words, when he heard Mei Zhigao say again: "My grandma is sick and needs some ice to put in the house to cool down, so I came to ask the prince for it." ”

Murong Baotong accepted the look of ridicule on him, thinking that he was asking for filial piety and saving people, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and asked the family standing at the door, "What about Brother Tao?" ”

The housekeeper said, "Meet the guests over there." ”

"Go and ask Brother Tao to come over first, the matter here is more urgent." Murong Baotong said.

"Yes."

The family turned around and went out.

Murong Baotong turned around and saw Tao Zhe next to him, and said, "Is he your younger brother?" ”

Mei Zhigao was embarrassed for a moment and said, "This is my uncle." ”

Tao Zhe smiled and said: "I am his uncle, my own uncle!" ”

Tao Zhe is two years younger than Mei Zhigao, and the two look a little similar, looking quite like brothers.

Murong Baotong's face was slightly red, he turned around a little shyly, and when he walked to the door, he said, "I'll go and see if Brother Tao is here." ”

Tao Zhe waited for Murong Baotong to go out, raised his hand and stabbed Mei Zhigao, and asked, "Who is this!" Why is it so scary to watch? ”

Mei Zhigao turned around and sat back on the chair and said, "She is the lord of Xiyang, the daughter of the king of Deyang. ”

"No wonder! It turned out to be a royal person, with dragon energy on his body. Tao Zhe also sat in the chair, looked at the door and said, "Why didn't you get married when you were not young?" ”

Mei Zhigao jumped down from the chair and reached out to cover his mouth, you can't talk nonsense! Talking about a girl's age and marriage is no different from humiliating someone.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Tao Zhe also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly closed his mouth, glanced at the door, and saw that there was no movement in the open space outside the door, so he relieved himself.

He and Mei Zhigao are here to ask for help, not to cause trouble, if this offends people, wouldn't it be a big mistake.

As everyone knows, Murong Baotong was at the door at this time, she didn't go far, and was hesitating to go in and talk to them, when she heard such a sentence, she stomped her foot angrily and ran outside.

"County Lord!" Candle Shearers and Red Sleeves shouted behind and chased after them.

The two big eyes in the room stared at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, Li Tao belatedly walked into the house, and he apologized to Mei Zhigao and the others, "I made you wait for a long time!" He said.

Mei Zhigao and Tao Zhe stood up and bowed back, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Li Tao sat down at the top and asked them to sit down again, only then did he ask them what they meant.

Mei Zhigao said what he wanted to do and asked, "I don't know if there is still ice in the house?" ”

"Yes. I'll have someone take it out and send it to the house. Li Tao called people in and told them to go and get the ice out.

Mei Zhigao and Tao Zhe stood up and thanked each other.
