Chapter 31: Suoli

In the afternoon, Li Xiaoxiao came.

When Zhao's mother knocked on the door to report, Mu Dianke was really stunned. She and Li Xiaoxiao only have a two-sided relationship, and have no friendship, she was in distress at Liu's house in the morning, and Li Xiaoxiao came over in the afternoon.

There is only one possibility, Chang Qianfo invited her to come.

Everyone has arrived, and of course you can't close the door.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't have the habit of going out with a maid, she held two carved mahogany boxes in her hands, asked Zhao's mother to lead all the way into the door, and said with a smile: "I heard that the third lady is a little bad luck today, I'll bring some gadgets to see if I can rush the bad luck, Miss Bo San smiled?" ”

She didn't wear a red dress today, but a sapphire blue dress. A simple style, worn on her, has an atmosphere for no reason.

Li Xiaoxiao bent down and put the box on the long table at Mu Dianke's feet, took the teacup from the maid's hand, and smiled kindly: "I'm tired." ”

The little maid was flattered, and it was natural for a slave to serve tea to the master and guest, how could she have been so sincerely grateful? At that moment, his face turned red with excitement, and he said, "Where is Miss Li, what should the slave do." ”

Xiao Ye has been reading a lot of books recently, and blurted out: "King Zhou You smiled for his concubine, the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, what did Miss Li bring Miss Bo San to smile?" ”

Mu Dianke reprimanded lightly: "Xiao Ye, it's rude. ”

Li Xiaoxiao didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "I heard that the third lady usually likes to read and is knowledgeable, and sure enough, even the little girl next to her has ink in her stomach, and she also knows the allusions of the princes of the Beacon Opera." ”

Xiao Ye Mian said suddenly: "I just learned it." ”

Mu Dian laughed and said: "It's all her own view, I haven't taught her much." ”

Xiao Ye hurriedly corrected: "Why didn't the third young lady teach me?" I didn't go to school, and if it weren't for Miss San teaching me to read, I wouldn't even know what was written in the book. ”

Mu Dian was embarrassed to tell Xiao Ye that he taught her to read because he thought she was noisy, so that she could read quietly after reading and not bothering her.

But later, she really liked this little girl, and she really taught her with her heart.

Li Xiaoxiao took out the box below, handed it to Xiao Ye and said, "This is for you." ”

Xiao Ye was taken aback: "And mine?" ”

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Naturally, you open it and take a look."

Xiao Ye couldn't wait to open the box, only to see a box of Chen Ji's dim sum neatly stacked in a large wooden square box two feet long and one foot wide. There are plums dyed with frosting, golden milk rolls, sour jujube cakes, wine candy, one grid at a time, the classification code is open, colorful, and it is very good-looking.

Xiao Ye shouted happily: "There are plums, and wine candy, this candy is the best, but it's so expensive, I am reluctant to buy it every time." Excitedly took Li Xiaoxiao's hand and shook it: "Miss Li, you are really good." ”

An excitement pulled to the injury, and I couldn't help but let out a "ahh

Li Xiaoxiao was so shaken by her that the tea in her hand was spilled, and said with a smile: "If you like to eat so much, I will buy you more next time." I look at the good-looking colors of these candies, red, green and green, I always like to buy them, but I don't like to eat them, so I'm cheaper for you. ”

Xiao Ye's eyes lit up happily, and he searched for adjectives for a long time, and finally had to say again sincerely: "Miss Li, you are so good!" ”

This time, Mu Dianke also laughed.

Li Xiaoxiao reached out and opened the smaller box. I saw that there was a set of eight dolls carved from yellow stone in the box, some male and female, fat and thin, with different expressions and lifelike. Xiao Ye couldn't help but let out an exclamation, leaned over and touched it, and said, "What a cute little doll, where did you buy it, Miss Li?" How can anyone have such a skillful hand? ”

Xiao Ye Wuzi was amazed by the workmanship of the doll. Mu Dian is a man who knows good things.

Although the doll is finely carved, the most precious thing is not the ingenious craftsmanship, but the material used to carve the doll. The material of the doll looks like a stone at first glance, but it is actually jade, and it is a good jade of the best material, called ambergris, which has the miraculous effect of driving away cold and generating warmth, calming the mind and calming the heart.

When Mu Dianke was two years old, Jin Zhenyue gave her a jade pendant in the shape of a small dragon, which was made of ambergris jade. She wears it all the time.

On the night of the fire in Julinyuan, Ah Ku said that she wanted to eat steamed buns, but she had nothing, so she took the jade pendant to Zhen Rong's steamed bun shop and exchanged for twenty steamed buns. Later, she sent someone back to Luoyang to look for it, but the owner of the steamed bun shop had passed away, and the jade pendant was missing.

Li Xiaoxiao raised her head and smiled at Mu Dianke and said, "I don't know what the third lady likes." Last time, I saw that the third lady couldn't put down the stone doll that Xiao Ye got back, so I hid and gave it away. ”

Mu Dian Ke said: "Miss Li is such a big gift, how dare Yun Lin accept it?" ”

Li Xiaoxiao didn't know that Mu Dian could recognize ambergris, thinking that she was just politely prevaricating, and said with a smile: "It's just some stone carvings, it's not valuable." The third lady helped Yiluo relieve the big fence, and he often talked to me. It's just that today is unfortunate, Yiluo just happened to have something to do, and he couldn't come to thank the third lady in person. ”

Mu Dian is not stupid. This kind of priceless thing is not something that can be taken out by the poor sect of the Nanshan faction.

Besides, with Han Yiluo's uninhibited and free temperament, would he want to get such a thing as a gift?

Although Li Xiaoxiao is the daughter of the head of Chongdetang, she does not have this kind of skill.

Since it was Chang Qianfo who made Li Xiaoxiao come, the ceremony was naturally brought by him to Li Xiaoxiao. At that moment, there was a strange feeling in my heart that crept into my heart, indescribable, and the slightest thread seemed to be ...... Joy?

Mu Dianke was shocked, and hurriedly pressed his ridiculous idea, and was about to speak, Li Xiaoxiao said again: "I see that the third lady is dressed thicker than ordinary people, and I want to be cold." Although this doll is not a valuable thing, it has an extremely rare benefit, that is, it can absorb the cold in the human body and drive away the cold and heat up. I'm a stove, and I wear a lot of clothes on snowy days, and my palms are sweaty. These things are a useless ornament in my hand, and they are wasteful, but the third lady just needs them. On weekdays, when you go out, you can put one in your sleeve, or put one close to your body when you sleep at night, and keep your body warm all day. ”

Mu Dian still had to refuse, Li smiled and said: "It's rare for me to give a second gift, and the third lady won't let me take it back as it is, right?" ”

If you can't give gifts, it's not easy to get along with Chang Qianfo.

Since Mu Dian entered Gusu, she was frequently forced to accept gifts, Qin Momei sent it, Liu Xinyuan sent it, she really didn't want it. This time, I was also moved.

There are two voices in my heart, and no one will let anyone. Let's take it together, people have some kindness, and then it will be too unkind. The other said, Mu Si, are you confused, what kind of person is Chang Jiabao, what kind of person is Chang Jihai, do you dare to provoke him?

Hesitating and struggling for a long time.

Xiao Ye looked at her on the side and said, "Third Miss, you just accept it, you see how cute these dolls are." ”

She could see that the third lady really liked this gift, and she must have been embarrassed to take Li Xiaoxiao's things, so she hesitated so much, and said, "Why don't we give Miss Li a gift." ”

Li Xiao smiled and said, "That's a good idea. ”

What a bonus!

Mu Dianke choked. This Miss Li is also too ...... It's a little more informal.

If you shirk it again, it will look twisted and too pretentious. Mu Dianke said: "Then thank you Miss Li." ”

Li Xiao smiled and said, "What's polite." Although I have only a few face-to-face relationships with Miss Three, I feel cordial when I see Miss Three, I already treat you as a friend, and Miss Three says such a thing again, it is deliberately separated from me. ”

Li Xiaoxiao's face was not red and her heart was not beating when she said this, and she was taken aback by herself.

She is a lively and hearty person, and she really doesn't like Mu Dianke's gentle style, nor does she dislike it much. The relationship between the two sides, the impression is only that this woman does not talk much, and she looks good.

As for cordiality, that's talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Mu Dianke said: "I don't know what Miss Li likes......"

Before she finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao interrupted her: "If the third lady is willing, how about I pick the one myself?"

Xiao Ye and Li Xiaoxiao are like bosom friends in the mountains and rivers, and they immediately happily agreed: "That's the best, the third lady of the province has to bother to think about it, Miss Li doesn't like it yet."

Mu Dian couldn't interject, and lowered his head to acquiesce.

Li Xiaoxiao picked up a book on the low table, opened the page, and took out a bamboo bookmark from it.

The bookmark is thin and thin, carved into a wrapping pattern, which is quite delicate. You can faintly smell the fragrance of bamboo.

Li Xiao smiled and said: "This bookmark is chic, I have the cheekiness to ask the third lady for it, I don't know if the third miss is willing to give it?" ”

Mu Dianke was about to speak, when he heard Xiao Ye say very proudly: "Of course, this bookmark was made by the third lady of my family herself."

Li Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Third Miss can also make bookmarks?" ”

Mu Dianke was a little embarrassed by Li Xiaoxiao's reaction, and said with a slight expression: "It's idle and fun." ”

She definitely doesn't make bookmarks for fun. It was after her hands had been soaked in the potion that the newborn hands were too flawless, so she would take an abrasive cloth in her hand every day, grind bamboo chips, and engrave bookmarks. It took hundreds of pieces of bamboo to grind back and forth before grinding a pair of hands a little rougher, no longer so eye-catching.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Since the third lady did it herself, I'm welcome." What could be more valuable and tangible than this gift? ”

Xiao Ye nodded again and again, thinking that Miss Li was really a real person who valued love and righteousness, and what she said was so reasonable.

What else can Mu Dianke say?

Li Xiaoxiao sat until it was dark before getting up and leaving.

When she was young, she often traveled with Chang Qianfo and Li An'an, as short as three or two months, and as long as a year and a half. I have traveled to more places and seen more new things.

Li Xiaoxiao is also a person who is very good at expression. When it comes to the story, it is really wonderful and fascinating.

Xiao Ye didn't blink his eyes when he heard it.

Before you know it, it's dusk.

Li Xiaoxiao got up and said goodbye, and her words were quite enlightening: "What happened in Liu's house today, I heard my father probably say it. Since the third lady is safe, she should be bitten by a dog, and she doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

Xiao Ye echoed continuously: "Yes, yes, Miss Li is right." Liu Xinyuan is a dog, a big evil dog. ”
