"Miss Xu Jiu stays, Miss Xu Jiu stays!" Qi Peng limped and limped after him, his face full of anxiety and apologies, "The fourth brother was just scolded by his father today, and he is in a bad mood, Miss Xu Jiu should not be like him!" ”
Xu Shu said calmly, "What Fourth Prince Qi said is not bad for me, why should I care?" Master Qi is too worried, I just want to go around! ”
"That's good, that's good!" Qi Peng said enthusiastically, "It just rained a few days ago, and many places in the garden are still wet, I'll take you where you want to go!" ”
Xu Shu looked at Qi Peng, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, "I want to go to a place where there is no place for you Qi eldest son and Qi fourth prince!" ”
Qi Peng's face turned red instantly, just like after Xu Ting heard about Qi Rui's outsiders just now, he looked back at Qi Rui and found that Qi Rui and Deng Yarong had a very happy conversation, and then turned his head to see that Xu Shu and Xu Ting had already gone away, so he had to shout, "There are many people in the family today, Miss Nine is careful to be hit!" ”
Xu Shu and Xu Ting didn't go far, they found a gazebo nearby to sit, Xu Shu didn't speak, Xu Ting felt that the atmosphere was a little cold, so she casually found a conversation, "The Rongguo Mansion is so big, but the Qi family is not prosperous, and the huge mansion is so deserted!" ”
"Hmm!" Xu Shu replied, but agreed with what Xu Ting said, the Qi family is indeed not prosperous, including the in-laws of the Qi family, they are not prosperous families, but the Qi family is especially strong, of course, this also has something to do with the Qi family's lack of raising concubines.
The ancestors of the Qi family are military generals, and most of the military generals guard the border, or in bitter cold places, or on the front line of the battlefield, and they live very hard, because they are not restrained in women. The first Rong Guogong was like this, every time he came back alive from the battlefield, he had to celebrate with a beautiful concubine, but once he didn't accept a fine work sent by the enemy, and almost became a merry ghost who died under the peony flower, and then he woke up, and since then he has set up the rule that the Qi family has only one wife and one concubine, which has been observed to this day.
Xu Shu's attitude was very cold, so Xu Ting couldn't help but think about the carriage, and began to guess Xu Shu's attitude, and when she was suffering, two maids suddenly walked over, "Miss Xu Qi, Miss Xu Jiu, it's cold in the garden, the eldest lady ordered, let the slave maid send two cold cloaks to the two of you!" ”
The two maidservants presented a cloak to each other, and Xu Ting took it and said gratefully, "Thank you, madam, it's really colder in winter!" ”
Another maid put a cloak on Xu Shu, and was about to retreat when she was suddenly grabbed by Xu Shu's wrist, the maid was startled, and couldn't help but snort, but saw Xu Shu smile and asked, "What kind of hair oil do you use, it's so fragrant!" ”
The maid patted her chest and hurriedly replied, "It's the tung flower oil of magnolia!" ”
"No wonder!" Xu Shu smiled, "You did it yourself, right?" You can't buy this taste outside! ”
"Yes!" The maidservant replied, and said, "The eldest lady also explained that the cool breeze is easy to hurt the body, and the two young ladies will go back to the house to warm up after playing for a while, don't be greedy for fun!" ”
"Got it, sister went back and thanked Madame for us!" Xu Ting motioned to Ye Qing to give the maid a dime of silver as a reward.
The servant girl took it with a smile and walked away with the other servant.
Xu Shu pinched and pinched the cloak and didn't notice anything wrong, and said in her ear, "Miss, you are exactly the same as Miss Seven's cloak!" ”
Xu Shu was a little relieved at this time, but she still felt that something was wrong, Wan's performance today was too unusual, and she was obviously with Deng Yarong, three people came out, but now there are only two people who send the cloak, which means that this cloak is for her and Xu Ting, Deng Yarong has no share, there must be something strange here!
Thinking like this, Xu Shu took off her cloak, and Xu Ting said curiously, "Ninth sister, aren't you cold?" ”
"You'd better take your cloak off too!" Xu Shu endured it, and in the end, she still reminded Xu Ting.
"Why?" Xu Ting was puzzled, but looking at Xu Shu's serious expression, although she didn't get an answer, she still got rid of it honestly.
"Let's go back!" Xu Shu felt that it was safe to stay in a crowded place.
Xu Ting took off her cloak and felt cold, so she nodded.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a chaotic footsteps, Xu Shu hurriedly squatted down, and Xu Ting squatted down for some reason.
"What about people?"
It was a strange man's voice, Xu Ting's face immediately turned white, and she looked around in a panic, and found that there was no way to escape, and she suddenly began to despair.
"Didn't you say it's right here?" Another man's voice rang out.
"Look! Mrs. said that wearing a red Shu brocade cloak, it was easy to find! The voice of a third man.
Xu Shu glanced at the cloak in Bang Feng's arms, and her intuition was really right.
Ye Qing was so frightened that he threw away the cloak in his hand all of a sudden.
"What sound?" Someone suddenly looked at the place where Sister Xu Shu was hiding, and was attracted by the movement of Ye Qing throwing her cloak.
Ye Qing glanced at Xu Ting with a white face, and suddenly stood up and ran in unison, Ye Qing pointed to Xu Shu's hiding place and shouted as he ran, "The person in the cloak is there!" ”
The three men quickly surrounded them, but Xu Ting and Ye Qing had already run away.
Xu Shu picked up the cloak that Ye Qing had thrown away and held it in her hand, a smile gradually crept up on her face, mocking to the extreme, she ran really fast!
Slowly putting on the cloak, Xu Shu paced back to the pavilion and sat down, holding the wind in front of Xu Shu, glaring angrily at the three men in front of him, with the momentum that they dared to step forward and tear them to pieces.
Afraid of the tall figure and hideous expression of the wind, the three men looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.
Xu Shu pulled Bangfeng and motioned for her to get out of the way, and Bangfeng moved away slightly, so that Xu Shu could "see" the three men.
"Mrs. Qi called you here!"
Xu Shu used an affirmative tone, and the three men glanced at each other, but no one answered.
Xu Shu said again, "Did she ask you to come here to find two girls wearing red brocade cloaks, and then find a way to get their personal belongings?" If you can't get it, you know the consequences! The last sentence was like the tone of Wan's speech.
Xu Shu thought about it, there was only this possibility, Wan Shi was not bold enough to dare to let people do shameless things to her in the Qi family's house, at most take some things, and when the time came, she would make trouble on the charge of private teaching, and what she was wearing today was all things sent by Wan Shi, as long as she was taken back, Wan Shi could recognize it at a glance, and she was not afraid of playing tricks on her own, it seems that Wan Shi is guarding herself.
The three of them glanced at each other again, their eyes were shocked, Xu Shuchai's score was exactly right, they were all sons of the Qi family, and the lives of the family were in the hands of the Wan family, so they couldn't help but be disobedient.
Finally, one of them had the courage to step forward, but when he saw Xu Shu put his hand into his sleeve pocket, he immediately retreated.
