Chapter IV
Li didn't understand why his daughter's expression changed suddenly, so he asked, "Hey, isn't this candy delicious?" I'm going to get you the candy. ”
Mingshu suddenly didn't know what to make, in the eyes of her mother, she might be a foodie.
If you're in a good mood, you're in a good mood. If you're in a bad mood, it's because the food doesn't taste good.
is regarded as a simple foodie, and I don't know if it's good or bad......
Forget it, that's not the point, it's better to go back and emphasize that I'm not a foodie.
Mingshu coughed and said seriously: "Is my mother planning to take the land route or the water route?" "In my previous life, my mother and father traveled by water, and in the end, they were buried in the water, and their bones were never found.
"Take the waterway." Li Shi hugged his daughter and smiled, "The waterway is fast, and you can bring a lot of fresh aquatic products back to Ling Ling to eat, do you want Ling Lingxi?" ”
Mingshu: Why is it that "......" is inseparable from food in three sentences?
However, the wontons under the small shrimp are really delicious. Mingshu swallowed her saliva quietly, and her face was very calm.
Mingshu turned to Li and said, "Mother, you can go by land." He blinked, and said, "I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that there were two boulders two people high in front of a mountain, and an old fairy was resting underneath. I was curious, so I went and pulled the old fairy's beard. Woke up the old fairy. Mingshu pursed her mouth, "Mother, I promised to offer melons and fruits to the old fairy, and then I woke up in fright." ”
Li was slightly stunned and didn't speak for a long time. His expression finally became a little more solemn, and he turned to look at Mingshu's maid Hongli.
Hongli stepped forward and said respectfully: "The slave didn't know that the seventh lady had a dream, but the seventh lady woke up, so she asked the slave and the maid without a head - what is the mountain, there are two boulders two people high in front of the mountain." The slave maid has been in the capital since she was a child, and she has never been to other places, where do you know this. ”
He didn't say anything more, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked. Looking at the situation of the third lady, there is probably really this mountain.
Mingshu said angrily: "I don't know, I also went to ask the fifth brother, and the fifth brother said that if I go to my grandfather's house by land, I will definitely be able to see the two boulders, which are very majestic." ”
Anyway, it was impossible for her mother to ask the fifth brother, so Mingshu naturally lied without any psychological pressure. Besides, my mother was already half convinced by this time.
Seeing that the Li family was a little shaken, Mingshu made persistent efforts, "Mother, you just take me, I want to personally offer melons and fruits to the old fairy......" and twisted his body affectionately in Li's arms, hugged Li's neck and said: "Otherwise, the old fairy will blame me-"
Li was still very hesitant, but looking at the delicate and glutinous girl, he couldn't help but worry.
She was originally soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and she was very devout to the things of God and Buddha. Now that Mingshu said this, where could he resign, he rubbed Mingshu's forehead and said, "I will discuss with your father and take you back by land." “
He smiled slightly.
Mingshu looked at the Li family who was smiling softly and kindly, and only felt extremely sour in her heart. In her previous life, she envied that other people could be coquettish in the arms of their parents.
In fact, she also has parents who can be spoiled...... In this life, she must keep the people around her!
Mingshu played with Li's side for a while, and the sugar steamed cheese that Li had made before was also ready, Mingshu finished eating it with satisfaction, and then left Li and returned to his grandmother's yard.
……
The sun gradually disappeared behind the banana in front of the window, and even the window was extremely dark in the house.
Gu Huali closed the book in his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream, his eyes drooped slightly, and he took steps to the bedroom.
The little guy hurriedly broke in, who knew that he bumped into him, and involuntarily shrank for a moment, and only after a while did he arch his hand and say: "Wulang-kun, no one answered the door...... I just broke in, and Lang Jun forgave his sins. He peeked at this Gorou-kun in the second room, and felt that he was an extremely outstanding character, but he didn't know why the second room despised him so much. Even the gatekeepers dare not put their masters in their eyes.
Seeing that Gu Huali's face remained unchanged, he just nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"The younger one is Gu Er from the third room, and this time, the third lady wants to ask Lang Jun, has the seventh lady ever asked about Jiucong Mountain?"
Nine Mountains? After a little thought, he knew that this was a place on the official road to Huzhou. As for Gu Mingshu, she didn't bother to look at herself at all, how could she ask herself this.
He sneered lightly, his face was cold, and he said neatly: "There has never been such a thing." ”
The little guy just saluted him respectfully, and then retreated.
When Li Shi heard this, he frowned for a long time, and said to Xiuyu, the maid beside him: "Ask Gu Er to come in and talk back." ”
The little girl stood outside the moonlit silk embroidery screen in the lotus pond with his hands down, and carefully recounted what he had said to Gu Huali before, and added: "The little one remembers it clearly, and he hasn't missed a word." ”
Li Shi didn't speak, and only after a long time did he say to himself: "Ling Ling has only been to Huzhou three or four times with me, and all of them are waterways, so how do you know the ...... of Jiucong Mountain?"
The maid didn't speak, but Li's nurse Mama Du smiled slightly and said, "The seventh lady saw this in her dream, it was a chance, why didn't Mrs. go by land?" ”
Li's eyes were still a little wandering, and he said to himself: "What did Ling Ling do to lie to me." ”
As soon as Mama Du winked, Xiuyu quietly withdrew, sent Gu Er away, and closed the door again, while she sat under the porch by the door and cut the flower branches.
"Maybe it's the Seventh Lady who wants Madame to go by land," Mama Du smiled, her eyes fell on Li's well-maintained onion fingers, "Madam, the Seventh Lady had a serious illness a while ago, and the people around her were not satisfied." ”
As soon as he heard this, Li was so angry that he covered his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Mo Ju's cheap maid, I thought she was smart and caring. It can be seen that the brains and eyes are white, and it even caused Ling Ling to be lost on the mountain on a rainy day! She tugged at her handkerchief, "I still have to talk to my mother-in-law and bring Ling Ling back." ”
Mama Du gently gave Li Shi a smooth breath and said slowly: "Madam, Mo Ju is not stupid, you can see it. If she was really a brainless fool, you wouldn't put her next to the Seventh Lady," paused, "Where can a smart person do stupid things?" What I'm afraid of is doing smart things for others. ”
Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If this is the case, the sale is really a light punishment for her." ”
This time, Mama Du didn't speak, Li Shi said it well, it was indeed a light punishment. It's just that Li's father and brother loved her very much when she was a child, and she only loved to read poetry and travelogues, and married to the Gu family of Pingxi Hou Mansion, and most of them followed the third master Gu Cong in office, and the third master Gu Cong took great care of her, so that the Li family never understood the bad things in the big family. After someone else, I am afraid that I will not give up after figuring out this matter, so I must find out.
But his own master has not been in the house for many years, and he is not only unintentional but also powerless.
