Text Chapter 204 Lin Yongmei and her people
Yan Xiaowei smiled shyly at Li Chongming: "Lord Li is really joking. β
After a while, he lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup in his hand, and listened to the conversation between Rong Xiu and Li Chongming as if he didn't care.
Although she was calm on the surface, she was anxious in her heart.
Now that the Allure City has been arrested, the Rong family army is stationed on the west street of Yongji Town. If Lin Yongmei is really Allure's downline, if she can't contact Allure, she will inevitably be suspicious. At that time, if she finds that Allure has been arrested, and the Rong family army is eyeing her again, then she will inevitably flee in panic. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to catch her and extract useful information from her mouth.
Therefore, before Lin Yongmei found out that Allure was captured, and did not discover the true purpose of the Rong family's army coming to Yongji Town, she must first find a way to contact this Lin Yongmei. Fight against her and make her voluntarily go to their side.
Thinking like this, Yan Xiaowei had a flash of inspiration in her mind, pretending to slip under her hand, only to see the tea cup in her hand crooked, and it slid down the gap between her fingers.
Yan Xiaowei screamed "oops" in panic, and hurriedly reached out to grab the slippery teacup, but even though she was quick with her eyes, the teacup still fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered into several pieces with a "pop". The tea in the tea cup was even more splashed, and Yan Xiaomei was all over her skirt. The original light blue dress was quickly printed on the top of the long skirt like a large camellia, leaving a large area of turquoise water stains on the skirt, and there were tea stalks floating on it.
What's even worse is that Yan Xiaowei was really burned this time, and she didn't know that the skin under her skirt had a burning and painful feeling, and even her fingers that were inadvertently drenched with tea were red.
Yan Xiaoyi stood up from the chair with a spirit, shook his hands and stomped his feet, and shouted half-truths and half-truths in his mouth: "Oops, it's burning me!" β
Seeing this, Rong Xiu on the side was startled, and hurriedly walked over in three steps and two steps, holding her hand to check the burns, with a thick nervous face: "How are you, are you burned?" You say, why are you so careless! β
His big palm suddenly pressed on the burned place on his hand, and Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but "hiss": "The tea cup is so beautiful, I only care about appreciating it, who knows that I didn't pay attention for a while, and my hand slipped!" Oops, it hurts me! What she said was a lie in the front, but the latter sentence was true.
She was just thinking about finding a way to get close to that Lin Yongmei, and she didn't pay attention to the temperature of the tea for a while. Now that she has been scalded like this, Yan Xiaowei can't help but tighten her eyebrows, knowing that she would wait for the water in the teacup to cool down a little before acting.
However, now that she has made this appearance, she can no longer regret it.
Therefore, she blinked twice with a pair of big eyes, looking at the Yaobian Tianmu teacup that had been broken into several pieces on the ground, with a deep apology on her face: "Lord Li, such a precious teacup was accidentally broken by me, I'm really embarrassed, I will definitely accompany you to a new set another day." β
Li Chongming saw Rong Xiu looking at Yan Xiaoyun with a nervous face, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Madam, look at what you said." It's just a cup of tea, don't take it personally. It's better to see if you've been burned first! β
Yan Xiaowei reached out and touched her soaked skirt, and her eyebrows frowned slightly: "It shouldn't matter, it's just a little painful, I'll take a closer look when I go back later!" β
Seeing this, Li Chongming immediately wrinkled his eyebrows: "Then where is it, this girl's skin is the most delicate!" If it burns somewhere, it won't look good in the future! Saying that, he said to Rong Xiu: "Little General, didn't the two of us discuss it just now, you and your wife have been staying in our Li Mansion in Yongji Town these days. Now that the lady is burned, I don't have to go now, just stay in the lowly mansion! β
Rong Xiu twisted his eyebrows and looked at Yan Xiaoyi's red and swollen skin exposed outside, and couldn't help but agree: "Okay, then I'll bother Master Li." β
Li Chongming was worried that the little guy in the concierge had offended someone, and at this time, seeing that Rong Xiu had agreed to stay, he hurriedly looked around and planned to behave well.
He said in a duck voice to the outside: "Come on, take the general's wife to change into clean clothes, and then pack up a clean room for backup!" β
When the maid heard this, she hurriedly bowed over Yan Xiaoyu and saluted: "General's wife, please come with me!" β
As he spoke, he held Yan Xiaoyu with one hand, turned down the corridor, and went to the backyard to change clothes.
Along the way, Yan Xiaowei looked at her nose and nose, and quietly touched the basic terrain up and down the Li Mansion, and firmly remembered it in her heart. Along the way, she passed by the front hall of the reception, Li Chongming's study, and Li Chongming's wife's bedroom, and then turned a corner and came to this guest room specially used to entertain guests.
On the opposite side of this room is a semi-enclosed courtyard surrounded by bamboo trees. Yan Xiaowei estimated that the people who lived there should not have a low status in this Li Mansion, either Li Chongming's heirs or concubines.
Originally, she accidentally knocked over the teacup in order to sneak into the backyard of the Li Mansion and get close to Lin Yongmei as soon as possible. However, who knew that Li Chongming did not call the second aunt Lin Yongmei, but a little maid.
However, since he has entered this Li Mansion in advance, he still has to act as soon as possible.
Thinking so, she quickly took off her wet, tea-stained skirt and replaced it with a rose-red dress that the little maid had prepared for her. Although she had just been burned for a while, it didn't seem to matter much now, so Yan Xiaowei changed her clothes, quickly pushed the door, and walked out of the room.
Hou Xiaoxiao's little maid in the outer room saw Yan Xiaoyu change her clothes, and couldn't help but bend her lips and smile: "Madame is really handsome, she looks good in anything!" This red skirt was originally our second aunt's, but the second aunt looked too lively and pretty, difficult to control, if it was not worn well, it was really rustic, so I was asked to put it away, and I didn't wear it once. I don't want Mrs. to wear it now, just like the plum blossoms in the snowdrift, delicate and pretty! β
Yan Xiaoyun pretended to be embarrassed, lowered her head and smiled shyly: "It's okay if you call me Yan Xiaocun, Rong Xiu and I haven't married yet, it's too early to call Mrs." β
When the little maid heard this, she nodded kindly: "Since that's the case, I'll call you Miss Yan." β
As she spoke, she hooked her lips at Yan Xiaoyi: "Our master has explained just now, you and General Rong live here, if there is anything you are not used to and need, just tell me." But whatever I can do, I will satisfy you. β
Yan Xiaoyan heard this, and hurriedly smiled back: "So I'm going to trouble you." β
The little maid shook her head: "Girl, you are too polite, this is all as it should be." β
Yan Xiaoyi saw that this little maid had the intention to say goodbye, and couldn't help but lick the corners of her dry lips quietly, and said as if unintentionally: "By the way, it's been a few hours since I came to our house, why haven't I seen your lady and other aunts and wives?" β
Afraid that she would suspect something, Yan Xiaowei stretched out her finger and pointed to the clothes on her body: "I'm really embarrassed to come to our house today to disturb and wear your second aunt's clothes again." I wondered, should I find an opportunity to meet my wife and aunts? β
When the little maid heard this, she put away the puzzled look she had just now, and waved her hand: "There is no need to see the ceremony, we have a total of one lady and one aunt in our Li Mansion." The eldest lady is now eating fasting and reciting Buddha in the nunnery in the back mountain, and she has not come back for a long time. The second aunt is too temperamental and a little eccentric, and she doesn't like to see people. So, you don't have to worry about any rudeness, just live here with peace of mind! β
Yan Xiaoyan listened to it and blinked curiously: "Second aunt doesn't like to see people too much?" Why? β
As soon as the second aunt was mentioned, the little maid seemed to be a little scared, and suddenly walked to the door and looked outside, and saw that there was no one around, so she walked back and lowered her voice and said: "Originally, I shouldn't pay attention to the master behind my back, but when I see Miss Yan today, I think you have a good face, so I have to remind you a little." β
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned towards Yan Xiaoyu and lowered her voice: "I heard the old man in the house say that there is a festival between the eldest lady and the second aunt. The eldest lady has been married to the Li Mansion for more than ten years, and she has no children, until the second aunt married a few years ago, and she was happy all of a sudden. The eldest lady ate the taste, and secretly put some bad things in the second aunt's Tai's soothing soup, but the second aunt almost had a miscarriage. Although the little master was born safely, because of this incident, the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel, so later, the doctor was sent to the nunnery by the master. β
She frowned: "The second aunt has been emotionally unstable because of that incident, and she especially hates people getting close to her yard, for fear that someone will poison her or the little young master again!" So this Li Mansion, except for the master, almost didn't dare to approach her. If someone really accidentally approached the yard where she lived and was discovered by her, then ......" she said, making a "killing" gesture with her hand on her neck and grimacing.
After a pause, she continued: "Moreover, I heard that the little young master has been sick recently, so the second aunt is not in a good mood." β
"So", the little maid nodded with her chin in the direction of the small courtyard covered by the bamboo forest not far away: "Miss Yan, during the time you live in this mansion, don't get close to the second aunt!" β
According to what this little maid said, this second aunt Tailin Yongmei is really an unapproachable and terrible character.
However, Yan Xiaowei had a reason to get closer. Not only do you have to take the initiative to approach her, but you also have to find a way to get something useful out of her mouth!
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but have a little big head.
After a while, Yan Xiaowei sent away the little maid in front of her, walked to the window alone, pushed the window open a small crack and secretly looked at the courtyard where Lin Yongmei lived opposite. I saw a huge courtyard, the doors and windows were closed, and I didn't see a maid or mother-in-law come out of it for most of the day.
Yan Xiaowei is not tight, and secretly slanders herself, it seems that this Lin Yongmei is really a difficult character to deal with.
However, even so, Yan Xiaowei still had to find a way to get close to her.
Thinking so, she pushed the door open, put on a fox fur, and paced slowly outside as if she were looking at the scenery.
Although the sun shone down on her body from overhead, the north wind still blew her body shivering, and she felt that the blood in her body was gradually starting to grow cold.
She put her hand to her mouth and sighed, and was thinking about whether to go back to the house, when the door of the small bamboo courtyard not far away was pushed open, and a maid-like person hurriedly walked out of it.
Passing by Yan Xiaoyi, she was obviously stunned, wrinkled her eyebrows, and asked in a very angry temper, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you? What the hell are you doing here? β
Yan Xiaowei saw that this little girl was not very polite, but she was not angry, but smiled gently at her: "Oh, you shouldn't have seen me, my surname is Yan, and my fiancΓ© and my fiancΓ© came to the house early this morning." For some reason, I was taken to the back room first, but after waiting for a while, my fiancΓ© had not yet come, and I was a little anxious for a while, afraid that he would not find here, so I thought about meeting him on the road, but I didn't expect to meet you at this time. β
Yan Xiaowei saw the little girl's gaze and swept over her suspiciously, and looked at the rose-red dress she was wearing for a long time. couldn't help but reach out and pick up the fox fur outside, and smiled lightly at the little maid: "Oh, my clothes are dirty, this is what other little maids found for me to wear, it is said that it is the second aunt's." β
Seeing that the little maid was still a little suspicious of her, Yan Xiaoyan couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I'm really not a bad person." If I'm a bad guy and I'm going to do bad things, how can I walk around this yard in a bright way? β
When the little maid heard this, she pursed her lips, and suddenly sniffed at her. At the end, he covered his nose with his hand, and asked angrily: "Oh, what kind of smell does this smell on your body, so rushed!" β
Yan Xiaoyan put away the hand in her sleeve that was secretly sprinkling medicinal powder on her body, and smiled at her embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm a doctor, and the smell of medicine on my body may be a little bigger!" β
When the little maid heard this, she suddenly stretched out her hand and patted it on the door of her head: "Look at me, I patronized and talked, and I forgot even about business!" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pulled Yan Xiaoyi's cuffs, and dragged her all the way to the yard like a frightened wind: "It's just right, our little master is sick!" You're a doctor, go over and take a look! β
Yan Xiaowei was dragged by her, stumbling forward, but her heart was extremely calm. Just seeing the appearance of this little maid, Yan Xiaowei intuitively felt that something had happened to the little young master in the mouth of the little maid before, so she secretly sprinkled the medicinal powder on her body, in order to deliberately tell the girl opposite that she was a doctor, so as to get close to Lin Yongmei.
Sure enough, after the little maid heard that she was a doctor, she looked like she had finally found someone, and dragged herself all the way into the hut deep in the bamboo forest.
As soon as she entered the door, Yan Xiaowei smelled a strong smell of medicine, choking her breath.
There was a woman half-leaning on the side of the bed in the inner room, about twenty years old, with a long face, young and beautiful, but at the moment there was a deep tiredness on her face, presumably, this woman was Lin Yongmei.
At this moment, she was holding a little boy about four or five years old in her arms, her eyes were closed, her little face was burning red, and she kept whispering: "It hurts, mother, I hurt!" β
Lin Yongmei leaned down, pressed her face against the little boy's forehead, frowned, and comforted her in a warm voice: "Mother's good baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon!" β
Maybe her words played a little effect, the little boy's voice suddenly lowered, and he subconsciously rubbed on Lin Yongmei.
Lin Yongmei stroked the little boy's body with pity, and suddenly heard the movement outside, her eyes swept over Yan Xiaoyi, and she didn't stop at all, and fell directly on the little maid beside her, and her tone was sharp: "Let you go to the doctor, what are you doing when you go out for a long time!" β
The little maid's body was shocked, she looked at Lin Yongmei tremblingly, and stretched out her hand to point to Yan Xiaowei next to her: "The slave maid is planning to go, who knew that as soon as she went out, she met this girl, she said that she was a doctor and came to our house as a guest." I thought that the little master's illness could not be delayed, so I brought her over directly. β
Lin Yongmei's eyes fell on Yan Xiaoyi, but in just a moment, her light eyebrows tightened, and she scolded: "Nonsense! I'll tell you to go to the doctor, and you'll find it! What if I bring such a random person in halfway, what if it is a bad person or a quack doctor who cures my son? Can you take this responsibility? β
As she spoke, she suddenly stood up from the bed, rushed over in three steps and two steps, and stretched out her legs to kick the little maid.
The little maid was defenseless for a while, and the whole person was kicked her lower abdomen, her forehead was sweating in pain, and she rolled on the ground with both hands holding her lower abdomen.
However, Lin Yongmei didn't mean to let her go, and her willow eyebrows were raised: "What are you, you dare to joke with my son's life?" If he is delayed, you will pay with your dog's life! β
As she spoke, she moved her feet, obviously wanting to make up for another kick.
Yan Xiaowei saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly dodged out from the side, impartially, and just stood in front of the little maid.
Lin Yongmei twisted her eyebrows and said unceremoniously: "What are you, get out of the way!" β
Yan Xiaowei was not frightened by her momentum, raised her head slightly, looked straight at the woman opposite with her eyes, and did not dodge at all: "Since I have come, how about you let me see?" It won't delay you for long! β
Lin Yongmei sneered: "Just because you are also a doctor?" Oh, so many doctors came to see my son before, all of them are qualified doctors, you are a child who deceives some brainless people to mix some silver, you want to fool me, no way! β
Yan Xiaoyun blinked and smiled slightly: "You said I can't, what is the reason?" Is it because I'm too young, or because I don't seem to be as skilled as the old doctors? β
Lin Yongmei pursed the corners of her lips and said disdainfully: "Both!" β
Yan Xiaoyan listened, but she was not annoyed at all, but chuckled: "Oh? In that case, then, those old doctors who are old and seem to have good medical skills have cured your little son? β
