Chapter 17: First Encounter
The news that Gao Ming's family led a group of subordinates to Xiangqu to pick up the fourth lady spread throughout the courtyard. Many people up and down are discussing this fourth lady. At first, I was just curious about what kind of person the fourth lady was, but as time passed, gradually many people in the house talked about Xiaoshan.
Miss Serious is back, what should I do with Xiaoshan, the "fake lady"?
Yingque complained dissatisfiedly: "The good girl didn't treat them badly on weekdays, why did she raise a bunch of white-eyed wolves?" ”
Xiaoshan raised his eyes, glanced at the warbler, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
This warbler is Xiaoshan's personal maid, and when she is busy, she does not help her.
Yingque's face was a little ugly, and he hesitated for a while before replying: "Isn't the fourth lady from Uncle Anyuan's Mansion coming?" ”
Xiao Shan played with the hairpin in his hand and said casually: "Yes, I want to come." ”
"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" The warbler muttered quietly, "Either you don't come, or you come inexplicably." The old lady has lived in Xingchuan for so many years, and she has not seen anyone from An Yuanbo's mansion. It's the eldest lady over there in the Huaixing Marquis Mansion, who has to come once a year. ”
The old lady is the master of the Li Mansion, and Xiaoshan is liked by the old lady. The warbler can serve Xiaoshan, which is also a rare dignity. However, recently, when she was walking in the house, she heard some bad words, which made her very frightened.
"They are coming, and we can't stop them. After all, the young lady over there in Uncle Anyuan's Mansion is the master of the Li family. ”
"But ......" Yingqi said anxiously: "The fourth girl is here, what should the good girl do?" ”
Xiao Shan's eyes looked into the distance, and he didn't seem to listen carefully to the words of the warbler. However, her hands, which had been playing with the hairpin, stopped at this moment.
"Do you want me to teach you?" Xiao Shan glanced at the warbler, "Since you are here, you must always respect it." Anyway, the people in the capital can't live for long. What should I do in the future, or what will I do. ”
"That's just as well." Only then did Yingque feel relieved and said, "If you have the heart to live forever, you should have come to see the old lady a long time ago, why wait until today?" Then I'll prepare according to the specifications of the eldest lady's visit, what do you think, good girl? ”
"Not necessarily." Xiao Shan said softly: "Just prepare according to the specifications of the Xingchuan Lu clan's visit." ”
Yingque was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted and answered yes.
After the warbler left, Xiao Shan glanced down at the precious hairpin in his hand. Without saying a word, put the hairpin back into the bun.
As soon as she entered the boundary of Huaizhou, Li Jiangwei felt dry for a long time. The clouds in the sky seemed to be cut off by something, and for several days, the sky was cloudless.
Xingchuan is not far from Xiangqu, but it will be there in a few days. After entering Xingchuan, they drove to the Li Mansion in the city.
Gao Ming's family entered the courtyard first, and shouted loudly: "Miss has returned home!" ”
After this, a brightly dressed girl with a somewhat similar appearance to Lu Jiangfeng led the other maids forward.
The dazzling Xiao Shan is compared with Li Jiangwei, but she is more like a young lady in Yifu.
Xiao Shan smiled with a smile that was not polite, and said softly: "Welcome Miss back to the house, I have already ordered someone to prepare the Xichun Hall for Miss." If you want to come to Miss after a long journey, you should rest more. ”
Nian Yue listened, and her brows couldn't help frowning. Because of the atmosphere, she didn't speak.
"I want to visit the old lady, take me there."
Xiao Shan bowed slightly and said to Li Jiangwei: "The time when the young lady came back was not coincidental, and the old lady fell asleep. If Miss doesn't want to rest in Rongxi Hall too early, you can go to the flower hall to sit and let Xiaoshan talk to Miss. ”
"Flower Hall?" Li Jiangwei was puzzled: "What are you going to do there?" How can there be a reason to go home and go straight to the flower hall? Don't have any guests to meet? ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Jiangwei glanced at Xiao Shan. Xiao Shan was still smiling quietly, without the slightest intention of explaining.
This person's thoughts, Li Jiangwei suddenly understood.
"If you want to report to me on the affairs of the house, it's the same to go to the room to listen."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Shan's face changed slightly.
"By the way, what was this Xichun Hall originally?"
Li Jiangwei asked Nianyue with a smile, Nianyue didn't dare to hide it, and said, "It's a place in the house to entertain guests." Generally, the eldest lady goes home and lives in Rongxin Hall. ”
"Where does the old lady live?"
"Rong En Hall."
"What's your name?" Li Jiangwei said to Xiao Shan, and pretended to think for a while, "It's okay, it doesn't matter what it's called, take me to Rong'en Hall." ”
Xiao Shan's face changed slightly, and he still said calmly: "The old lady is resting, and it's not good to disturb her old man at this time." ”
"When did I say I was going to disturb her old man? My own granddaughter wants to meet the old man, why can't she go? ”
Li Jiangwei frowned lightly and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you preventing me from going to my grandmother? ”
"I ......" Xiaoshan gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "If you wake up the old lady, Miss can't say that mine is not." ”
"Oh? You call yourself me before me. Are you the big girl next to your grandmother? ”
"Yes......"
Li Jiangwei covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and said, "Looking at your clothes, I thought you were the godgranddaughter recognized by my grandmother." Later, I thought about it, my grandmother is a granddaughter, and the big sister can't have no news at all. But ......"
Raising her eyes, Li Jiangwei's eyes suddenly sharpened, "I don't want to sign up for my own number until now, this big girl is too rude." What's your name? ”
Xiao Shan lowered his head and replied, "Xiao Shan." ”
As she spoke, fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
"I heard from the Gao Ming family that you are in charge of this courtyard now?"
Xiao Shan's heart tightened, for fear that the fourth young lady would dig some trap and wait for him to jump.
"This is Miss Lu's arrangement, I dare not disobey it."
"That's kind of weird." Li Jiangwei put her hand against her chin and muttered casually: "In the eyes of a big sister, I will never pick such a rude girl." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Shan lightly.
"What? Still not leading the way? ”
"Yes......"
If the old lady in general is not the heroine's backer, she will become the heroine's mountain years ago. In this era of no internet coverage, age is the best experience.
However, Mrs. Chen's decades of experience dissipated due to an illness. The well-dressed old lady in front of her was rubbing her sleepy eyes and looking at the room around her in a fog. After seeing the rag doll at hand, I happily played with it.
"Where's your girl?" She smiled: "She likes this rag doll the most, how can she leave the rag doll in my house." ”
"Old lady, this is the girl who is in the old lady's house."
"What's going on!" Old Madam Chen hurriedly said, "What if you break it and the girl cries?" ”
Xiao Shan changed his depressed look, and walked towards Old Madam Chen with a smile: "How can it be so easy to cry." Is the old lady underestimating me? ”
Seeing Xiaoshan, Mrs. Chen smiled, beckoned to her happily, and said, "Ouch, I'm talking about you!" Come here, come and sit next to me! ”
