Chapter 23 arrives
A group of five people rushed for almost ten days to finally come to Shenjiabao.
Qiao Xi looked at the towering city wall in front of him, and the three words on the city wall with iron and silver hooks looked very majestic.
"Shen Jiabao? It was actually someone from Shen Jiabao. She learned about the affairs of the rivers and lakes from books and the oral accounts of Furong, Shen Jiabao's status in the rivers and lakes is very noble, and there have been three successive generations of martial arts alliance masters, and his reputation in the four countries is very loud.
The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the court has always had no trouble with the well water, and there has been nothing wrong with each other for many years.
"yes, it was a surprise." guessed that Shen Wei was a person from the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect that they would be from Shen Jiabao, which was really unexpected.
At this moment, Qiao Xi had a sense of retreat, if she was a little more ordinary, she wouldn't have much concern, but Shen Jiabao, it was easy to go in and out, but I was afraid that it would not be easy.
"What's wrong with you, girl?" Seeing Qiao Xiwei frowning, Furong asked suspiciously.
"If they don't let them go, with the strength of the two of us, can we get out of Shenjiabao safely?"
“~~~”
"Look, you're running out of words." This is a very high possibility, but if so, what is the best of the best?
"Miss Qiao, let's go." The door opened, and Shen Wei turned around to greet Qiao Xi.
"Why don't I stay with Fleur in the town we passed by?" Thinking of the possibility just now, Qiao Xi really didn't want to go in, she didn't know anything about Shen Jiabao, so it wasn't the same as falling into the tiger's mouth.
"What?" Shen Wei thought he had heard it wrong, and said in surprise.
"~~~ When I didn't say it." Qiao Xi is twisting to death at this moment.
"Miss Qiao, don't worry, since I promised you, I naturally won't embarrass you." Shen Wei quickly reacted and said comfortingly.
He thought something was wrong, probably because he was frightened by Shen Jiabao's three words, but they were also negligent, and they never officially told her who they were.
"Let's go." It's already at the door, let's take one step at a time, if they really mess around, even if they fight to the death, she won't compromise, no one can threaten herself.
As soon as they entered the Shenjiabao range, someone had already gone to inform them.
The entire Shen Jiabao knew that only Shen Nianshen, Shen Jingtao's wife Zhang Mengyao and Mingfeng went out.
Shen Jingtao's letter back only arrived two days earlier than them, and in the past two days, Zhang Mengyao has already cleaned up the courtyard next to the old owner and the old lady in two rooms according to the letter.
As soon as the people in front came to report, Shen Nianshen and his daughter-in-law Zhang Mengyao hurriedly came out to prepare to greet them.
"The owner, the child, the young master." The door opened, and someone came out of it.
"Get up, this is Miss Qiao, this is her maid, Miss Qiao will live in the castle for a while, and polish my eyes a little." Shen Jingtao glanced back at Qiao Xi, introduced it with a very serious expression, and issued a warning at the same time.
The guards on the ground raised their eyes to look at Qiao Xi and Furong, and respectfully saluted, "Hello Miss Qiao." ”
Shen Jingtao led Qiao Xi ahead of the curve and walked less than a few hundred meters ahead, and walked towards the old man who thought that the old man and a lady who still had charm, and after seeing Qiao Xi, the two of them stopped one after another, their faces were full of joy, and the smile on the corner of their mouths couldn't be suppressed at all.
Zhang Mengyao suppressed herself with tears in her eyes, not letting the tears flow, Shen Jingtao saw this, stepped forward to hug her, and said softly: "Don't scare the girl, wipe your tears." ”
"Hey, hey, I'm just happy, happy." Looking at her, I seemed to see the little sister-in-law back then, and I always called 'sister-in-law' happily when I saw her, who dared to say that she was not the daughter of the sister-in-law, she must be anxious.
The old man was also excited, and muttered to himself, "Like, like, too similar, it's really exactly the same!" ”
Shen Wei could understand the feelings of his grandfather and mother, but he couldn't leave the guests aside, so he could only remind him loudly: "Grandpa, mother, don't do this, it will scare her." ”
"The girl came from afar, and we lost our temper. The girl doesn't have to be restrained, just treat it as her own home. Shen Nianshen said with a loving face.
"Old Master Shen is good. Hello Mrs. Shen. When he saw the old farmer, there was a sense of familiarity between his eyebrows, comparing his face with her mother's, not to mention that there was really a little similarity, but his face was still impassive, and he greeted them with a faint smile.
"Okay, okay, you must be very tired from the journey, go rest first, and talk well later." When the old man saw this, he was even more happy, what a calm and unhurried woman, her eyes were clear and clean. "Meng Yao, you take Miss Qiao to rest."
"Yes, Dad." Zhang Mengyao responded.
Old Master Shen and Shen Jingtao went to the study, Zhang Mengyao took Qiao Xi and Furong to the courtyard, and they were followed by two followers, Shen Wei and Lin Zhijie. Small composition
"What are you two doing along?" Zhang Mengyao turned her head to look at her son and nephew behind them.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do, let's go and see."
"Me too, me too."
"Whatever you see, give me a rest."
"Mother, I'm not tired, you just leave us alone." He really didn't feel tired.
Zhang Mengyao saw that she couldn't move them, and she didn't bother to say them, "It's up to you." ”
"This is my sister-in-law's yard, and since my sister-in-law disappeared, it has not been inhabited anymore, and it has become a forbidden place in the fort. This main house is the house where my sister-in-law once lived. Zhang Mengyao led Qiao Xi into Minghua Garden.
Qiao Xi followed behind Zhang Mengyao, listening quietly, looking at the door she pushed open, the furniture inside was as good as new, it seemed that someone came to clean up every day, spared the screen, came to the bedroom, everything in the house was preserved as before, Qiao Xi subconsciously touched the dressing table beside her, it was spotless, the jewelry was classified in an orderly manner, and every piece of jewelry on the table was very exquisite, which showed that it was indeed favored as they said, it was really spoiled to the bones.
"Does the girl like this room?" Zhang Mengyao looked at Qiao Xi with her peripheral eyes while introducing, and saw that she didn't have too much expression on her face, so she couldn't guess her mind for a while, so she could only ask tentatively.
Qiao Xi shook his head and refused, "Madame, let's arrange one in the courtyard." "How embarrassed she is to live in this room, it will make her feel like a dove occupies a magpie's nest, and it will also make her uncomfortable.
"Okay, girl, come with me." Zhang Mengyao didn't say anything persuasive, but followed Qiao Xi's words.
"Girl, rest well, and come back tomorrow to disturb." Zhang Mengyao didn't stay long, and left Minghua Garden after settling Qiao Xi.
"Miss Qiao, I am Shen Jiabao's housekeeper." Steward Gu stood outside the door, respectfully waiting for Qiao Xi to reply.
Qiao Xi was looking at the room where he lived, and when he heard the other party claiming to be the housekeeper of Shen Jiabao, he nodded towards Furong.
When Fleur opened the door, she saw an old man who was over half a hundred years old and still in good spirits standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Please be inside the housekeeper." ”
The housekeeper nodded towards Furong, raised his feet and walked in, looked up in Qiao Xi's direction, was stunned for a moment, and tears instantly filled up in his eyes, "Miss." "The butler couldn't help but call 'Miss'.
"Butler, are you alright?" One or two of them had such expressions, which made Qiao Xi's firm heart shake a little, as long as she had seen her, no one was not excited.
When the housekeeper heard Qiao Xi's voice, he immediately came back to his senses, only to realize that he had confused people, "It's okay, let the girl laugh." Although Madame had already told him just now, he didn't take it to heart, after all, he had been disappointed so many times, and this time it was estimated that it was only a little similar.
But as a result, he slapped him deeply and fiercely, which made him stunned directly, and he also admitted that he was wrong.
The two of them were so similar, if it weren't for the fact that her voice and tone were different from Miss's, he would have really thought that Miss was back.
Thinking of Miss, when I was a child, I always liked to follow behind me, calling myself uncle, every time I was greedy, I would secretly tell myself that I wanted to eat candy, but I was afraid that the old owner would know, and I twisted my face with a bewildered expression, and now I feel soft-hearted and don't want to be soft-hearted when I think about it, I can't wait to hold all the good things in front of her, I just want to see her smile.
"Butler, is it really that much like that? Can I see her portrait? Being able to keep so many people in mind for so many years also began to wonder what kind of girl could make them so memorable.
"Like, it's really the same." The housekeeper gave an affirmative answer, and then the topic said: "The portrait of the young lady is now only in the old lady's house, and the other portraits have been put away by the old owner, and the old slave can't get it." ”
"Who is cleaning this courtyard?"
"This courtyard has always been cleaned by the old owner and the old lady, but after the old lady had a serious illness last year, the person collapsed, and the old owner's energy was put on the old lady, and it was handed over to the old slave to take care of." Steward Gu hunched his waist and replied to Qiao Xi's words seriously.
"Girl, these are ordered by the old farmer, sent to you to summon, if the girl feels bored, you can let them take them out for a walk, Shenjiabao is very big girl can take a good look."
The housekeeper clapped his hands, and some people walked in one after another, and after standing firmly, they all saluted Qiao Xi, "Say hello to Miss Qiao." ”
Looking at the people who bent their bodies to greet her, Qiao Xi whispered, "Get up." ”
"Thanks, Miss Joe."
"Girl, the person has been delivered, the old slave will not disturb your rest, and the old slave will retire first."
"Butler, wait, I don't need so many people to serve, just leave two." Qiao Xi glanced at these people in front of him, and hurriedly called out to the housekeeper who was leaving.
"This~~"
"The housekeeper doesn't have to be embarrassed, I don't like too many people to serve, a lot of things are done by myself, and the reason why I left two people is because I first came to Shenjiabao and am not familiar with this place, so as not to collide." She appreciated their kindness, and she really didn't need so many people to serve.
