Chapter 10: Cousin

"Thank you to the old lady, lady, wife, grandmother and little lady in the house, thank you for being so considerate of us at the bottom." Liu Xiu had already stood up, hurriedly smiled and bent his knees to thank him one by one, the two mothers-in-law politely smiled at Liu Xiu, went out and pushed the cart back, Liu Xiu kept sending out the door, watching the mother-in-law leave, only then turned around and lifted the curtain to come in, in the house, Xiaofu had already opened a suitcase, everyone squeezed over to look at the snacks inside, and the cheerful discussion continued, Liu Xiu smiled and scolded: "It's all useless!" See, you're hungry?! Don't eat that yet, you can't jump after eating for a while! One person drank a bowl of ginger soup first, although that thing is not delicious, it can prevent disease, Xiaofu will give me a bowl! ”

"Hey!" Xiaofu agreed crisply, took the bowl from the suitcase, and handed it to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu slowly sipped the ginger soup, thinking about the little girl who had just broken over, and a faint but warm smile slowly oozed on her face.

Li Danruo, Li Yuju, and Li Jinrui followed behind Dai's and sent off the last female dependent, and several people breathed a long sigh of relief, and grandma Dai turned to look at the three of them and smiled: "I'm tired for a day, hurry up and go back to rest, my wife said, she will have a good rest tomorrow, no need to ask for peace, and the meal will be eaten by herself in each courtyard." ”

"I know, sister-in-law is working harder, take the time to rest first, I can't clean up today, and tomorrow, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will continue to clean up, anyway, I won't run long." Li Danruo said with a smile, Li Jinrui stood behind Li Danruo's side, slanted at Li Danruo with the corner of her eye, the corners of her mouth seemed to be pulled down, and she didn't care about others, she threw a handkerchief and threw herself: "I'm tired, go back first." Even if he said goodbye, turned around and left with Han Bi and Han Xiang, Dai frowned slightly, then pinched Li Danruo's cheek with a smile, looked at Li Yuju and said with a smile: "Ming'er have a good rest, don't remember if you can't catch breakfast, I'll let the kitchen wait for you, when will it start, when will it be ready, okay, go back quickly, it's all good, it's just that I feel sorry for my sister-in-law." Li Danruo and Li Yuju thanked him, and said goodbye to Dai's family, Li Yuju tiredly helped the girl Chunyan, went down the steps, and Li Danruo waved the handkerchief weakly, and walked slowly in the direction of his yard.

Li Danruo took Yao Huang and Wei Zi, laughing all the way and slowly went back to the Xiaying Pavilion, not far from the Xiaying Pavilion, just turned a rockery, a young man in brocade suddenly popped out from behind the mountain, stretched out his hand to stop in front of Li Danruo.

Li Danruo was so frightened that he almost screamed, Yao Huangzheng was talking to Li Danruo, gasped in fright, subconsciously took half a step back, and retracted it forcefully, and was about to rush to Li Danruo to protect him again.

Wei Zi and Li Danruo were almost walking side by side, and they were turning their heads to look at Yao Huang who was talking, but they reacted the fastest, rushed to Li Danruo with an arrow step, opened their arms to protect Li Danruo, and just screamed out half a word: "Youβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’" has already seen the brocade boy clearly, and the second half of the words 'yes' and 'thief' choked back, and the choked Wei Zi hiccuped a few times, and was very angry, crossed his waist, pointed at the brocade boy with his eyebrows and scolded: "You are a bumper!" Or is the yellow soup poured too much?! The longer it gets, the more I go back! How old are you?! ”

"Alas! Scared the hell out of me! Forget it. Li Danruo was full of shock and was scolded by Wei Zi a few words, and stood still with Wei Zi's shoulder, gently pushed her and persuaded with a smile: "Forget it, the eldest cousin has always been reckless, you don't know, forget it, we have a lot of adults, don't worry about him." Wei Zi glared at the brocade-clothed young man fiercely, and took half a step back angrily, this brocade-clothed young man is Li Danruo's aunt, the only daughter of Mrs. Ning, the eldest son of Mrs. Zhongyong's founding uncle, and Liu Shiyang, who has been crowned the son of the world.

"Look at you, you're almost twenty years old, how can you be more reckless when you get older? Hiding behind the rockery like this, and then jumping out so suddenly, aren't you afraid of beating you as a thief? It's not a three-year-old child, and you still have to play officers and soldiers to catch robbers, you are really! Can't grow up?! Pushing Wei Zi, Li Danruo pointed at Liu Shiyang, and then reprimanded him unceremoniously, the tall and sturdy Liu Shiyang was first told by Wei Zi and then by Li Danruo, his face was originally pale with nervousness, and after a while, his face turned red and his face rose, and he couldn't tell the difference, so he stomped his feet again and again angrily, and turned his head around in a hurry, while lowering his voice and said: "I have something to say to you, there is something urgent!" You let your girl avoid it. ”

"Huh? What words? What can you do in a hurry? I also want my girl to avoid it, this is Yao Huang, this is Wei Zi, you don't know each other, they are all my personal and caring girls, don't you know? What do they avoid? Li Danruo clenched his fists on his chest, looked Liu Shiyang up and down, Liu Shiyang swallowed his saliva anxiously, looked left and right with a weak heart, and eagerly discussed: "If sister, if there is really something urgent about β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’, you can let them avoid it, ah?" Just a moment, just a few words. ”

Li Danruo looked at him suspiciously, thought about it, turned his head to look at Yao Huang and Wei Zi and ordered: "You go to the flower stand and wait for a while, the terrain is high, and you can see it as soon as I raise my hand later." Liu Shiyang watched Yao Huang and Wei Zi slowly move to stand under the flower stand, moved half a step forward, felt that it was wrong, and hurriedly retreated, with both hands behind his back, he felt that it was not right, and it was not right to get to the front, and then it was crossed to the waist, even more wrong, or he was back to his back, his face was flushed, his head was lowered, and he coughed in his throat, but he didn't speak, Li Danruo stared at his busy hands, and waited for a while without seeing him speak, and couldn't help frowning and urging: "Hurry up, isn't it urgent?" What's wrong? ”

"Ah Ruo, that β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ thisβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ that β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ is like thisβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ that β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’" Liu Shiyang coughed in his throat, and he waited for Ai Ai 'that' for a long time, without saying a word, Li Danruo exhaled angrily, stomped his feet and said: "I've been busy all day, I'm tired, I don't have time to listen to your cough, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Hey! Don't go, my mother is going to kiss me! Liu Shiyang was neat all of a sudden, Li Danruo was instantly clear, his eyes looked at Liu Shiyang cautiously and straightly, and the smile on his face did not have the slightest unusual smile: "It's not a matter of a year or two for my aunt to propose marriage to you, didn't you start picking a daughter-in-law the year before last?" You are nineteen years old this year, you should have said kiss a long time ago, if it wasn't for your aunt's careful selection, your daughter-in-law would have entered the door at this time, that's it? I already knew about this, and I knew it the year before last, and the daughter-in-law that my aunt chose for you must be better than the one you picked yourself! ”

The flush on Liu Shiyang's face faded, his face turned pale and looked at Li Danruo, his lips trembled, Li Danruo didn't wait for him to speak, looked up at Liu Shiyang and smiled and sighed: "Don't say it, I understand, I think you are really crazy!" From childhood to adulthood, we are like brothers and sisters, you are a bastard if you have this mind, too bastard! What is the difference between you remembering me and remembering Sister Aying? Okay, I don't have much to say about this, you let me, go back and think about it, think about it, I'm tired, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. ”

After Li Danruo finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Shiyang to speak, he turned around and raised his hand, Yao Huang and Wei Zi hurriedly trotted over with their skirts, Li Danruo didn't pay attention to Liu Shiyang, who was fixed in the middle of the road like a fool, and took Yao Huang and Wei Zi to take a detour, walked dozens of steps, and then looked at Yao Huang and Wei Zi and asked in a low voice: "The terrain over there is high, do you see your cousin's little girl?" ”

"I didn't see it, Uncle Liu is not really reckless, he knows it in his heart, even if he comes into this garden by himself, how can he bring the little guy in?!" Wei Zi smiled, Li Danruo breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned in annoyance, her aunt has never liked her very much, and I don't know if it's because she has seen her son's thoughts, if it's because of this, why don't you care about him? And let him run to the Li Mansion all day long? Alas! Forget it, you don't have to think about it, anyway, she didn't plan to marry him at all, he has been really good to her since she was a child, and she really treats him as her own brother in her heart! Even if it's not, she and him are cousins! How can such blood relatives get married? Besides, my aunt has such a fierce temper, she doesn't want to be her daughter-in-law!
