176. Sick
The coachman loosened the reins, and after running with the horse for a while, the speed slowed down, and the coachman took the opportunity to stop the carriage at the door of a teahouse, and apologized for asking Xu Shu and others to get out of the car, "Please also ask Miss Nine to get off the car first, and let Xiao check it!" There is a teahouse here, and the lady can take a break! ”
Bangfeng helped Xu Shu get out of the car, but Xu Shu did not go to the teahouse, but reached out and touched the horse's neck, and the coachman reminded in a low voice, "Miss Nine beware, this horse has just suddenly gone crazy, I'm afraid something is wrong, Miss Nine is still far away, beware of being hurt!" ”
Xu Shu raised her other hand to signal the coachman not to speak, and the hand that touched the horse's neck slowly touched the horse's back, and gradually touched the top of the right hind leg, and suddenly touched a little sticky, Xu Shu turned over the palm of his hand, stepped on the snow and exclaimed, "Blood!" Miss, are you hurt? ”
"It's not me!" Xu Shu shook his head, "It's the horse that is injured!" ”
Treading Xue remembered the moment when the coachman urged the horse to raise the whip just now, and couldn't help but glance at the coachman, and said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Zeng, just let you hurry up, and you won't be so ruthless!" ”
The coachman waved his hand again and again, "No, no! It's not a small thing! The small hand controls the strength and will not hurt the horse! ”
Xu Shu's hand continued to touch along the sticky, the horse suddenly trembled slightly, and hurriedly pulled Xu Shu away, and when the horse calmed down, Xu Shu instructed the coachman, "Unload the wheels!" ”
"Yes!" The coachman separated the cart and the horse in twos.
Treadsnow pointed to the top of the horse's right hind leg and said, "The horse is injured!" ”
The coachman glanced at the position of the horse's injury, turned his head to check on the frame that had been unloaded, suddenly let out a low cry, took off an object, glanced at Xu Shu, and handed the thing to Tread Xue, it was a needle, "Girl, this was found in the carriage, tied to the leather rope of the cart, it was this needle that hurt the horse just now, and the horse was crazy in pain!" ”
Treading Xue wiped the needle clean with a handkerchief and held it up in front of Xu Shu, Xu Shu fumbled and held the needle in his hand for a moment, and suddenly pinned the needle on his sleeve, and then instructed the coachman, "Set the car!" ”
The carriage was set, and the coachman asked, "Or go to the Rongguo Mansion?" ”
Xu Shu nodded, "Hurry up, it's not good to be late!" ”
"Yes!" The coachman mustered himself up, grabbed the reins and threw down the whip, and the carriage sped forward at once.
Li's carriage was at the forefront, and Xu Ting's carriage followed closely behind, and Li didn't see it when Xu Shu's carriage ran into another fork in the road.
Xu Ting opened the curtain slightly, watched Xu Shu's carriage turn to another road, couldn't help but show a comfortable smile, put down the curtain, and straightened her clothes, making sure to maintain a very dignified and decent appearance.
When he arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, Li got out of the carriage only to find that Xu Shu's carriage was missing, and he couldn't help but be surprised, "What about Sister Shu?" Left behind and didn't keep up? ”
Xu Ting also pretended to be surprised, "Huh? Where did the ninth sister go? Aren't you going to sneak away somewhere to play? ”
Li shook his head, "It shouldn't be!" If she wants to go out to play, she can do it at any time, and since she agreed to come to the Rongguo Mansion today, she will not not not come, let alone leave secretly without saying hello halfway! ”
Xu Ting chuckled, "Mother, the ninth sister has been very willful recently, although she won't be like this before, but that doesn't mean that she won't be this time!" Have you forgotten that just a few days ago, she had to go to Zhuangzi? ”
Thinking about it like this, Li also felt that what Xu Ting said made sense, and couldn't help complaining, "This kid is really good!" If you don't want to just tell me directly, I can still force her to come! Why do you need to play this kind of trick, it is in vain! ”
Xu Ting naturally grabbed Li's arm, put her chin on Li's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "The ninth sister is still young, and it is normal to be playful, don't be angry, my daughter will compensate you for the ninth sister!" ”
"You! You! Li gently poked Xu Ting's finger lovingly, "Sister Shu stabbed Lou Zi because you helped her deal with the aftermath, and Sister Shu was willful and reckless, and you helped her speak, and she copied other people's affairs all day long, why don't you copied your heart."
Xu Ting smiled sweetly, "My daughter is an older sister, of course I have to care more about my younger brothers and sisters!" Besides, what can a daughter do? Doesn't a daughter still have a mother! ”
Li smiled lovingly, straightened Xu Ting's hairpin, and led Xu Ting into the side door of the Rongguo Mansion.
When I entered the Rongguo Mansion, the Li family found that the mansion was not lively, and I didn't know the reason until I saw the old lady.
"Today is just a family banquet, everyone is a relative, just be casual!"
Dinner!
Relatives!
The Li family was happy in his heart, the Rongguo Mansion treated the Xu family as a family, which means that the Rongguo Mansion recognized the family business!
Li sat down happily, and Old Madam Qi glanced at Xu Ting and asked, "Why didn't the girl come?" ”
There was a slightly embarrassed look on Li's face, and Xu Ting replied softly on the side, "The ninth sister is not feeling well, so she can't go to the banquet, and she has disappointed the old lady's heart, I'm really sorry!" ”
"I'm sick!" Old Madam Qi sighed, "Her body is also thin!" ”
Mrs. Deng on the side said with a smile, "Today's children don't know what to think, they can't wait to be the same as the lady on the picture, a slender gust of wind can blow away, and Yarong has been talking about being thinner recently!" ”
"It's not good to be too thin!" Old Madam Qi glanced at Xu Ting, and when she saw Xu Ting's well-proportioned posture, she couldn't help nodding slightly.
"My grandmother is saying bad things about me again!" Deng Yarong turned around from the back hall with a grin, holding a few flower branches that Xu Ting couldn't name, "This is the flower I gave to my grandmother, is it beautiful?" ”
"Who said bad things about you!" Mrs. Qi scolded with a smile, took the flower branch and sniffed it, and praised, "It's so fragrant, even the incense is saved when it is inserted in the house!" ”
"Then plug it in!" Deng Yarong smiled and beckoned people to insert the flower branch into a beauty bottle, and then went to sit next to Mrs. Deng, and Mrs. Deng urged her to give the Li family a gift, "Don't go and see your Aunt Li soon!" ”
Deng Yarong pouted secretly, but still honestly greeted Li and Xu Ting, and after the meeting, Deng Yarong said curiously, "Xu ...... Why didn't Miss Xu Jiu come? Accustomed to Xu Shu, Deng Yarong almost blurted out Xu Shu's name.
Li replied with Xu Ting's excuse just now, "She is not very well, and she is raised at home!" ”
Deng Yarong sat back with some disappointment, last time in the palace she suffered Xu Shu's loss, but she couldn't retaliate back, she held a lot of anger in her heart, and after going back, she planned countless revenge plans, I was expecting revenge this time, but I didn't expect Xu Shu to come, and she suddenly lost her goal with a fighting spirit.
When everyone was happy, someone suddenly came to the door, "Old lady, madam, Miss Xu Jiu is here!" ”
Old Madam Qi and the others could still hide their surprise, but Deng Yarong couldn't hide her surprise at all, "Isn't she sick?" ”
