177, outsiders
In Li's confusion, Xu Shu came in dressed in a gorgeous dress, "Say hello to the old lady!" He said to Wan Shi again, "I like the clothes my aunt gave me, thank you, aunt!" ”
"If you like it!" Wan's eyes flashed, hiding the light of calculation.
The maidservant led Xu Shu to sit under Xu Ting, Deng Yarong couldn't hold back any longer, and asked Xu Shu directly, "Aren't you sick?" Why is it still here? ”
Xu Shu glanced sideways at the direction of the Li family slightly, and replied, "Yesterday I was really not feeling well, my mother hurt me, so she let me stay at home to rest, but the day before yesterday, the old lady specially sent my grandmother to invite me, if I don't come, I'm really sorry for the old lady's heart, so I came!" ”
"It's good to be here!" Deng Yarong's eyes flickered, and countless ways of revenge came to mind.
There was a Xu Ting between Xu Shu and the Li family, and the Li family couldn't ask where Xu Shu had just gone, but seeing that Xu Shu finally came, the dissatisfaction in his heart before dissipated.
Xu Ting didn't expect Xu Shu to come, and so quickly, and neatly dressed. She thought that at least Xu Shu would be bumpy in the bumpy carriage with her hair in a bun and her clothes messed up, so she would be embarrassed to come to Qi's house.
But now Xu Shu is here, so fast, so fast that she didn't have time to prepare psychologically, did Xu Shu find out that she had done something to the horses? Xu Ting was bothered by this kind of worry, and she didn't have the heart to care about anything else, and she didn't even hear Li call her several times.
"Sister Ting, ask where Sister Shu has just been!" Li finally couldn't help but push Xu Ting.
"Ah......" Xu Ting woke up in shock, "Oh......"
But after agreeing, Xu Ting couldn't open this mouth for a long time, Li couldn't help but shake his head, determined to find an opportunity to ask himself later.
Seeing that Li sighed, Xu Ting seemed to be very disappointed in herself, so she hurriedly restrained her emotions and asked Xu Shu in a concerned whisper, "Ninth sister, where did you run just now?" Isn't it fun? But I worried my mother! ”
Although Xu Ting lowered her voice, this volume was just enough for Li to hear, and the worry and slight reproach in her voice were just right.
Xu Shu touched her sleeves and said ashamedly, "I passed by a theater and was fascinated by it, so it's too late!" ”
Xu Shu's explanation was also heard by the Li family, and it was not good to say anything about Xu Shu, after all, Xu Shu, who was blind, had nothing else to do.
Xu Ting's heart suddenly, it would be fine if Xu Shu truthfully said that she was delayed by the startled horse, but Xu Shu lied, Xu Ting obviously watched her startle the horse with her own eyes, did Xu Shu lie because she had discovered the truth about the startled horse, or was it just to not want everyone to worry about her? Among these two guesses, Xu Ting instinctively leaned towards the first guess.
Deng Yarong looked at Xu Shu who was sitting opposite, and finally couldn't sit still, Qiao Shengsheng stood up and said coquettishly to the old lady, "It's boring in the room, can I take Miss Xu Qi and Miss Xu Jiu out for a walk?" ”
Old Madam Qi glanced at the adults in the room, and also felt that it was not good to leave a few children here, so she nodded, "You are also half a master, but you have to take good care of Miss Xu Qi and Miss Shu!" ”
Deng Yarong nodded again and again, turned her head and beckoned Xu Shu to go with her, "Let's go, I'll take you to a fun place!" ”
Before Xu Shu moved, Xu Ting stood up first, "Thank you, Miss Deng Wu!" ”
Deng Yarong remembered that there was another Xu Ting, and reluctantly greeted, "Come too!" ”
Xu Ting's face stiffened slightly, and she relieved the embarrassment by helping Xu Shu, Xu Ting reached out to help, Xu Shu couldn't get up, so she had to stand up, Deng Yarong hurriedly took Xu Shu's hand on the other side, and left the main courtyard under the satisfied gaze of Mrs. Qi.
Walking a little further, Deng Yarong had the heart to calculate Xu Shu, but because Xu Ting had to hold it on the side, Xu Ting did not stop on the side, and said a few words from time to time, just talking, and was suspected of showing off his knowledge, and gradually wore out Deng Yarong's patience.
"The Taihu Lake stones in this garden are exquisitely clear, with layers of mountains and mountains, and the posture is changeable, which has been passed by the hands of masters, right?"
"How did I know, this is not my home!" Deng Yarong finally got impatient, she had come to Qi's house countless times, but she had never paid attention to the stones in the garden, and she calculated Xu Shu's heart, at this moment, she only felt that Xu Ting was particularly in the way, how could she still be in the mood to talk to Xu Ting, she just wanted Xu Ting to disappear in front of her immediately.
Xu Ting was choked by the smile on Deng Yarong's face, and a crack appeared, and it took a long time to recover, "Miss Deng Wu said with a smile, just now Mrs. Qi also said, Rongguo Mansion is half of your family!" ”
Deng Yarong rolled her eyes, secretly sneered at Xu Ting's cheekiness to justify herself, and was about to choke again, when she suddenly saw a group of people coming, she immediately changed her expression and waved at the visitor, "Big cousin, fourth cousin!" ”
Deng Yarong's cousin...... That's the eldest prince of Qi and the fourth prince of Qi!
Xu Ting's eyes lit up, she slightly turned her back to Deng Yarong and cut her haircut, straightened her cuffs, and leaned on Xu Shu's side with a gentle smile, but Xu Shu didn't move, as if she hadn't heard what Deng Yarong said.
Deng Yarong thought that Qi Peng and Qi Rui were walking slowly, and couldn't help urging, "Hurry up!" ”
Qi Peng smiled, "I can't be fast if I want to be fast!" ”
Deng Yarong pouted, reluctantly watching Qi Peng and Qi Rui slowly bypass the twists and turns of the path, and finally walked to her side.
"I've seen the eldest prince of Qi, and I've seen the fourth prince of Qi!" Xu Ting bowed, and when she bowed, she glanced at Qi Rui from the corner of her eye, although she didn't see anything, her face was still red.
Xu Shu also saluted.
Qi Rui didn't wait to see Xu Shu, turned his head directly, and even ignored Xu Ting together, Xu Ting straightened up in embarrassment, only to find that Xu Shu had already stood up straight, thinking that Xu Shu knew Qi Rui's temperament, so he only said all the courtesies, and didn't expect Qi Rui to respond.
Qi Peng glanced at Xu Shu with a smile and said hello, "Miss Xu Jiu, this is Miss Xu Qi, right?" ”
Xu Ting bowed her head slightly sideways, which was considered to answer Qi Peng's question.
Deng Yarong crossed his waist and said dissatisfiedly, "The eldest cousin is eccentric, why don't you greet me?" ”
Qi Peng shook his head and smiled, "I'm my brother, if you want to see me, you should also greet me!" ”
Deng Yarong pouted and ignored Qi Peng, walked around to Qi Rui's side, saw Qi Rui's stunned face, and asked, "What's wrong with the fourth cousin?" ”
Qi Rui glanced at Xu Shu coldly, "A good family banquet, what do you do with some irrelevant outsiders!" ”
The irrelevant person refers to who is present The five people all knew it, Xu Ting's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, but Xu Shu still had a calm face.
"Fourth brother!" Qi Peng scolded dissatisfiedly, but Qi Rui didn't buy it, Qi Peng was about to apologize to Xu Shu, Xu Shu suddenly said, "You talk, I'll go first!" ”
"Seventh sister, let's go!" Xu Shu turned around first, her tone could not be refuted, and Xu Ting hurriedly followed Xu Shu away.
