Chapter 33: Cousin
Early the next morning, Long Xuanling disappeared, he should have gone out to be busy again, I understand him, he is waiting for him in this house every day.
Every day, I can only see Long Xuanling at night.
A month later, the order in Youzhou was gradually restored, and the market became more and more lively, and we people could also walk out of the house.
And the eldest lady of the Zhao family has already brought several letters, saying that she wants to come to see me, I hesitated, after all, the distance is too far, but I know that she really can't rest assured of me, and finally agreed.
Long Xuanling recruited a lot of subordinates for me to serve my diet and daily life, and the door of the house was also replaced with a plaque of the Shuai Mansion.
The eldest lady arrived at noon, and the sun was very strong, and as soon as she got out of the car, I went up to help her.
"Xiaowan, you can make my mother worry about death." After she finished speaking, she looked at me with her eyebrows, as if she had a thousand words, but she didn't know what to say at the moment.
"Mother, look, I'm not fine, am I fine?" I said, holding her hand.
She looked at me and sighed.
Immediately afterwards, I saw another man get out of the car, and that man I had seen was Zhou Xuanling, the cousin who was originally selected by the eldest lady to marry him.
When Zhou Xuanling saw me, he smiled at me and said, "I said that my cousin was cured of your "illness", but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
"Cousin, thank you for accompanying my mother and coming to see me all the way." I thanked him.
"Young Master, madam, let's go in and eat, Miss started to open up early in the morning and prepared a table of delicious food." Xiaohe was also very happy to see the eldest lady and Zhou Xuanling, and hurriedly invited them in.
The eldest lady held my hand tightly, entered the house with me, and when I arrived at the dining room, looking at the table of food, the eldest lady did not sit down, but just glanced around, and asked, "Xiaowan, where is he?" ”
In the doctor's mouth, he naturally refers to Long Xuanling.
"These days, Qi Ye has been very busy, but he said that he will definitely come back today and have lunch with us." As I spoke, I glanced out of the dining room, but I didn't see any trace of Long Xuanling.
"Xiaohe, you ask Vice General Liu to invite your uncle over." I whispered to Xiaohe on the side.
Xiaohe nodded, and was about to invite, but the eldest lady opened her mouth to stop her.
"No need, we'll just wait here." The eldest lady said this, and sat down on the wooden chair.
I hurriedly asked Xiaohe to serve tea first, and asked the eldest lady about Master Zhao and Zhao Tianyu's situation, which was considered a homely affair to ease the atmosphere.
"This Mu Qiye is too unruly, your father and your brother didn't want to let their mother come over." The eldest lady said, looking at me: "But my mother's heart is here, what can I do?" Xiaowan, look at it, this Youzhou army is in chaos, otherwise, you can go back to Jincheng with your mother. ”
"Mother, what do you say, pray that the night is here, how can I go back to Jincheng alone?" As I spoke, I glanced at Xiao He again, and Xiao He immediately understood, and quietly slipped out of the dining room to find Long Xuanling.
I called Corning to play with the eldest lady, who liked Corning very much, and finally showed some smiles on her straight face.
An hour later, Long Xuanling arrived late and entered the dining room with Xiaohe one after the other.
At this time, the food was already cold, and I wanted to ask someone to help get it to the kitchen to heat it up, but the eldest lady waved her hand and looked at Long Xuanling with an expressionless face.
"Come today, my mother just wants to see if you are doing well, pray for the night, Xiaowan has lost a lot of weight, and her complexion is also very bad, presumably on weekdays, you just ignore Xiaowan, right?" The eldest lady's words were full of reproach.
"Mother?" I frowned, trying to interrupt her.
The eldest lady frowned, glared at me, and said in a word: "Pray for the night, Mrs. Mu has already told me everything about you." ”
I suddenly chuckled in my heart, presumably it was Mrs. Mu who went to the eldest lady to sue Long Xuanling, so this eldest lady would come so far and rush over.
"Mother, what did my aunt say to you?" Although Long Xuanling was tired, his attitude was extremely good, and he was not angry because of the cold attitude of the eldest lady.
"What did you say?" The eldest lady sneered, and then looked at me: "Our family Xiaowan is simple-minded, and if you don't have so many hearts, you can only deceive her, and you can't deceive others at all." ”
"Mother, what are you talking about, I don't understand?" Long Xuanling looked at the eldest lady with a suspicious expression.
"Mother, praying for the night is really good to me, you don't need to be because of Mrs. Mu's words?" I want to speak for Long Xuanling.
The eldest lady couldn't help but shake her head, looked at me and said, "Xiaowan, my mother will not let anyone bully you, this Mu Qiye is really too deceitful, otherwise my mother would not have come here." ”
"Mother?" When I saw that the eldest lady was so angry, I knew that it should not be a trivial matter.
"Mu Qiye, I want to talk to you alone." The eldest lady looked at Long Xuanling with calm eyes.
Long Xuanling nodded immediately and readily agreed.
He took the eldest lady to the backyard, and I beckoned the next person to warm the dishes and entertain the cousin in front of me for dinner.
Because, I didn't know anything about the cousin in front of me, so I could only laugh dryly, a little cramped.
When the food comes up, it's just a matter of strength, and he will serve him with vegetables.
"Xiaowan, you don't have to be so restrained, in the past, weren't you the closest to me? We don't need to be so polite to each other. He looked at me with a smile on his lips, very gentle.
I looked at him and saw that he was so easy-going, and gradually put my mind at ease, and chatted with him without a word.
It's just that this cousin gives me a strange feeling, whether I say it or not, he likes to look at me, which makes me a little uncomfortable.
"Oh, this young master eats more." The fat monk on the side, seeing this scene, actually sat down between me and Zhou Xuanling.
talked to Zhou Xuanling very enthusiastically, and threw flattering eyes at each other from time to time, so that Zhou Xuanling was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at me.
We ate embarrassedly for more than half an hour before Long Xuanling came out, saying that the eldest lady was tired and rested directly in the wing room in the backyard.
I listened, and hurriedly asked Long Xuanling what the eldest lady said to him.
Long Xuanling just said lightly, "It's okay" and left, leaving me alone in the dining room.
"Cousin, I'll go see my mother." I didn't want to stare at Xuanling with this week, so I pulled Kang Ning to the backyard wing.
The eldest lady also seemed to be waiting for me, and when she saw Corning, she reached out and hugged Corning.
"Mother, what did Mrs. Namu hear from you?" I asked, looking at her.
"Xiaowan, my mother didn't want to tell you, but now, if you don't say it, you will definitely be even more sad if you know it in the future." She looked at me with distress and helplessness in her eyes.
