Chapter 14 The Grass Dowry is Humble 1
In Yicuixuan, Xu Ying was reading a book, and red beans were embroidering on the side.
Suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, Hongdou put down the embroidery rack in his hand, and quickly got up, "It must be here to deliver food, these people in the kitchen are really getting more and more dishonest, and they are all here, so they came to deliver food." ”
Xu Ying nodded with a smile and continued to read the book in her hand. This book is a Taoist classic, and it is a few introductory exercises, Taoism and Fu Seal Painting.
This is something that Xu Ying spent a lot of effort to get her hands on before, and before she could see it, she died. Unexpectedly, Zhou Chuan turned around, and it still returned to her hands.
This is also fate.
Xu Ying had just turned the page when she saw the little girl Red Bean coming back angrily, still carrying a food box in her hand.
"What's wrong? Who bullied our red beans again, and they can hang oil bottles on their mouths. ”
Hongdou opened the food box and said with a sad face: "Miss, they are too bullying." Actually sent these things to fool Miss, is this something that people eat? Woowoo woo ......"
Xu Ying opened the food box and looked at it, a bowl of fried vegetables that had been yellow and a little rancid after I don't know how long it had been placed, and two steamed buns with a faint black mold, just frowned and said, "Don't be sad, red beans, let's go out and buy some." ”
Hongdou turned around, with two lines of tears still hanging on his face, and hiccuped: "Miss, no...... No, we still have to stay...... I've been here for a long time. You're only twelve,...... I still have to ...... when I go out. What are we going to do for a few years? ”
Xu Ying took off another bracelet and handed it to the red beans, and said, "Take it and buy something delicious." ”
Hongdou looked at the gold bracelet and said, "Miss, you can't always be like this." ”
"It won't always be like this, trust me."
Hongdou didn't bother with Miss about this issue, but secretly swore in her heart that she would not let Miss continue like this. didn't think at all that her little girl could do anything to change all this.
Qingzhu listened to Gongzi's arrangement, packed up his things, and prepared to go back. However, Childe never said that he would go back with Miss Xu.
That means that I won't be able to see the good-looking and gentle lady for a long time in the future, as well as the capable and beautiful sister Hongdou.
Xiao Douding, who is only ten years old, has not opened his love, but he feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, and when he can't help being alone, he looks in the direction of Yi Cuixuan.
On this day, he really watched it.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Hongdou looked at Xiao Qingzhu, his bad mood dissipated a little, and said, "I'm going to go to the pawnshop, take this as a treat, and prepare dinner." ”
"Don't you have a big kitchen? Are they lazy? ”
Xiao Qingzhu doesn't say it's okay, speaking of which, red beans are a belly of fire. Along the way, he poured all the bitter water on this little boy who was a few years younger than himself.
As a bracelet, I bought something to eat, and when I was about to walk to Yi Cuixuan, I remembered, looked at Xiao Qingzhu and asked, "How many days have passed, how is your son's illness?" ”
"It's already great, that Doctor Gu is really a miracle doctor. said that half a month, not even a day, the wounds on Childe's face have already scabbed, and people can walk around on the ground. ”
"That's good, that's good." Hongdou said twice in a row, and had an idea in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.
What can a poor scholar do then, and Miss follows him, maybe it's worse than now.
Hongdou briefly chatted with Xiao Qingzhu, and the two went back to their respective places.
Back at Yi Cuixuan, Hongdou looked at Xu Ying still sitting there reading the book, and even her posture did not change, but the pages of the book had already turned to the middle.
The expression is focused and serious, and it looks more and more delicate and dusty, and there is a feeling of a little fairychild.
I know that my own lady is not so stupid, and the rumors are wrong.
It's just that such a good young lady is treated like that.
"Miss, it's time to eat. I picked the dim sum and food bought from the most popular shop on Suzaku Street, you can try it. ”
Xu Ying put down the book, looked at Hongdou no longer had the indignation of going out in the afternoon, there was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she was also a lot relieved, and teased: "It's only been less than half an hour since I went out, and I'm in a good mood." Red beans, tell me, are you going to see your lover? ”
When Hongdou heard this, he "giggled" and laughed, "Still a lover?" Miss, you're too good at thinking about it. The slave maid met Xiao Qingzhu in the Lixiang Courtyard just now, and it was he who led the slave maid to buy these things. ”
"Did he say what happened to their son?"
Hongdou said: "It's already good, and the third lady has sent someone to see it." The words are meant to be funny, Miss, what do you mean? ”
Xu Ying didn't answer and asked: "Hongdou, you said that your parents have passed away, do you want to leave the capital and go to Jiangnan?" ”
Hongdou was stunned, "Miss means to follow ......"
Xu Ying nodded, ate a steamed dumpling, and nodded, "It tastes good, and I don't know how the food in Jiangnan is." Can you get used to it? ”
Hongdou saw that her young lady had made up her mind, and said without hesitation: "As long as Miss doesn't think the slave is stupid, then wherever the young lady goes, the slave and the maid will follow."
Unless the young lady doesn't want to be a slave, otherwise, the slave and the maid will be with the young lady for a lifetime. ”
What a faithful girl.
Xu Ying opened her eyes and could distinguish the anger in this person's body, whether she lied or not, she could see at a glance that no one could hide it from her.
It's a pity that this ability is only ineffective for the beloved. If she likes someone, she can't tell if the person is lying, and maybe even the person's luck.
This was said by her grandfather before, but Xu Ying knew very well that she couldn't see through whether Xiao Chonghua was lying at that time, but she could see what his luck was.
Is it because of the reason why he borrowed from the sky?
After Xiao Qingzhu returned to Lixiangyuan, he saw his son-in-law Zhao Hongfei folding his clothes and putting them on the carriage.
"I haven't seen anyone for half an hour, where did you go?"
Qingzhu lowered his head and said, "I went to the pawnshop with Sister Hongdou to exchange money, and then I bought food." ”
Zhao Hongfei frowned when he heard this, tired a few burdens, turned to look at Qingzhu, and asked, "Tell me clearly, how can you do it well, you want to go to the street to buy food?"
Don't all the ladies and girls in the house have big kitchens to deliver food? ”
Qingzhu told him everything that Hongdou told him, and Zhao Hongfei listened to it, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly. In the end, Qingzhu couldn't stand it anymore.
He could only whisper and suggest: "Childe, can we bring them to Jiangnan together?" Didn't you come here to marry Miss Xu? ”
"Did you say that?"
Qingzhu hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "No, no, absolutely not." What Childe didn't say, how could the little one say it. ”
Zhao Hongfei also did not say anything, whether he wanted to take Xu Ying and Hongdou away. To take away, how to take away.
If you don't take it away, how should you say goodbye.
