Chapter 113: A Chance Encounter
As soon as Han Sidao greeted a few of his peers and several sons of the Zhou Mansion, a servant came in and invited him out. "Shi Dashan and a few of them are coming over, why are they looking for me at this time?" At this time, Zhou Lingling had already excused herself to leave the backyard flower hall and returned to the small courtyard where she had lived before, after Han Sidao came in, she asked while looking at the decorations in the house, and walked to the pot of camellia wrapped in red makeup and looked at it carefully, and then said, "This flower should be carried to the front, have you told your father-in-law about this?" Zhou Lingling didn't pay attention to Han Sidao's words at all, just stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right at the clothes on her body, and then asked the maid to kneel down and wipe her satin high-soled cloud-toed shoes with some mud stains. Han Sidao glanced at the kneeling maid, then looked at his wife from the mirror, and then smiled, and didn't bother her, just stood there admiring. After about a stick of incense, the maid stood up carefully, bent down and said, "Grandma, it's clean." Zhou Lingling lowered her eyes, stretched out her foot slightly and looked at the upper of her shoes carefully, and then nodded: "You are really a clever person, no wonder your grandfather has always loved you so much, and after asking you from your uncle, he deliberately changed your name." The maid shrank her body, her head hung low, and she did not dare to say a word. Zhou Lingling smiled: "What are you afraid of, I'm not a tiger, I can't eat you." "If she doesn't serve well, just change someone." Han Sidao finally noticed that his wife seemed to be holding back a nameless fire in his heart, thinking that it was for this maid's business, so he stepped forward with a smile and said. Zhou Lingling glanced at him, smiled, and then waved her hand at the maid, and after the maid withdrew, she slowly turned around and glanced at Han Sidao, and then hooked the corners of her mouth: "What are you nervous about, I know you think about her for a day or two, go back today, I will let you take her, so that you don't have to worry about it all day." "What do you say, it's just a waiter, who else can I worry about with you." Han Sidao smiled, then glanced at Zhou Lingling again, and then praised it. Zhou Lingling glanced at him: "You vomited so badly yesterday, and you got up once at night, even when you went out before, your face was not very good, what do you think of this?" Is it still uncomfortable in the stomach? Han Sidao hugged her waist and said affectionately: "It's hard for you to still think about it, in fact, it was okay last night, you specially called me over to ask about this?" "Well, before going out, my mother told me once, oh, this is the jujube tea that I just asked someone to brew for you, and it's cold today, so you can drink something to warm up." Zhou Lingling pulled Han Sidao to the table as she spoke, gently picked up the blue glazed gold teacup and handed it to Han Sidao, and after he took it, she asked again, "Where did you eat those candied roses yesterday, I didn't hear who invited the banquet yesterday." Han Sidao was just about to drink, but when he heard Zhou Lingling's words, he stopped, and then raised his eyes and asked, "What candied roses?" Zhou Lingling raised her eyebrows, and then snorted: "Hide it from me, my mother told me before, you have to vomit for most of the day as soon as you touch that thing, I was startled yesterday and forgot to ask you." "Oh, it's a candy shortbread sold by a guy in the store, and I happened to be a little hungry at the time, so I ate one, and I didn't think that the sugar cake was actually filled with candied roses." Han Sidao shook his head and smiled as he spoke, and after taking a sip of hot tea, he added, "If it's really not good, it's just a piece of cake, but it tossed me for most of the day, but fortunately I didn't eat much." Zhou Lingling took the tea cup in Han Sidao's hand: "The guy in the store bought it?" A few of the lads were hungry for those snacks. Han Sidao explained slowly: "The person bought it for the girl in his family, and by the way, he just took a few pieces to honor me." After Zhou Lingling put the tea cup on the table, she raised her face and reached out to help him straighten his collar: "Those people should come over this meeting, you go and accompany me first, I will go and talk to my father, and ask him to send this pot of flowers out in public for a while, and then those people in the hall should understand in their hearts who are standing behind you, and no one dares to earn anything with you." Moreover, since Shi Dashan and they deliberately chose to hold a banquet in my Zhou Mansion, they must also want to please my father. Han Sidao nodded, and then said in a low voice: "You have prepared all the things I prepared for my father-in-law?" Does Mrs. Zhou know? "I sent it over yesterday, she happened to visit her relatives at that time, my father was very happy yesterday, and I will definitely say good things for you today, go." Zhou Lingling gently pushed Han Sidao as she spoke, and Han Sidao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was about to kiss her. Zhou Lingling half-pushed and half-accepted it on the spot, but after Han Sidao went out, she walked a few steps in the house, looked at the pot of camellias, and then looked at the cup of red date tea that Han Sidao had drunk just now, and pondered for a while, still a little suspicious in her heart. …… After Han Sidao came out of Zhou Lingling's place, when he walked through the garden of the Zhou Mansion to the front yard, he didn't want to suddenly run into Mo Li who came here from the front. He was stunned, and couldn't help but slow down, Mo Li also saw him, so he led the red bean over to Han Sidao and nodded: "It turns out that Steward Han has already come over, I didn't see Steward Han in the hall just now, and I thought you vomited in the Jialian shop yesterday, and your body didn't recover, so you won't come today." Han Sidao saw that there were maids walking back and forth not far away, so he politely bowed his head and said, "There is Miss Lao Mo to worry about, Han is no longer in the way." Mo Li smiled faintly: "That's good, yesterday I was really shocked when I suddenly saw Steward Han vomiting so badly." Han Sidao smiled slightly: "Shi Dashan and the others have all come over, why did Miss Mo come out of the hall?" "I'll go out for a walk, I'll be over in a while, Steward Han will take care of yourself." Mo Li turned slightly sideways as she spoke, and Hongdou followed her closely. Han Sidao glanced at her with some nostalgia, nodded, and walked past her. After Han Sidao's footsteps drifted away, Mo Li said to Hongdou again: "Why hasn't the maid who led the way just now come back, could it be that she is also lost here?" This garden is big, but it's hard to find a place to get rid of it. The corners of Hongdou's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head and was speechless for a while. Mo Li looked left and right as he spoke, then took a few steps to the side, and then saw the shadow of a maid flash from the other side. She only didn't see it, and walked a few steps as usual, until the figure disappeared into the stone corner pavilion in the garden, she stopped and turned back, and then saw Ah Sheng quietly walking out from the side and nodding to her. Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately went up and asked, "That maid just now followed Han Sidao all the way?" Ah Sheng nodded: "Well, this will go back the same way." Mo Li sighed softly: "I know, I owe you today, you go back to the hall to find Jia Hei and Xie Gongzi first, and I will go back in a while." Ah Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at her: "You can't stay out for too long, after half an hour, if I still can't see you go back, I'll come out to look for you." "You ......" Mo Li was stunned, but before she could speak, Ah Sheng had already turned around and walked away. How is his nose so good! Hongdou muttered, and then looked at Mo Li and said, "Girl, Ah Sheng is right, although the snow is small, it hasn't stopped yet, and it can't warm much even if you hold the hand stove." Mo Li sighed helplessly: "I know, I'll go back immediately." She does feel that her head is getting heavier and heavier, but she can't be negligent in any part of today's incident, otherwise her work will be wasted. Zhou Lingling is not Han Sidao's opponent now, and the amount of medicine Li Yue'er just called is not enough, she needs to add another dose to make Zhou Lingling feel convinced.
Fortunately, she only wandered around the garden for half a pillar of incense, and then she saw Zhou Lingling find it from there.
"It turned out to be Miss Mo, we met in Xie Mansion, does Miss Mo still remember me?" As soon as Zhou Lingling saw Mo Li, she came directly to her and said with a smile.
"Sister Zhou." Mo Li hurriedly owed Zhou Lingling, "Sister Zhou had a big day that day, but unfortunately I couldn't go over to congratulate Sister Zhou in person because of my filial piety." ”
"You're too polite, just get your mind to it, who doesn't have an inconvenient time." Zhou Lingling smiled, and then asked straight to the point, "By the way, just now the maid next to me passed by, and I happened to see you and my father-in-law meet here, and it seems that I heard you tell my father-in-law that he vomited a lot yesterday?" ”
Mo Li nodded: "That's right, when I was delivering the horses to the guests yesterday, I passed by Grandma Lin's Jiaying shop, and I wanted to go down to say hello, but I saw Steward Han suddenly vomiting at the door, which scared me a lot." ”
Zhou Lingling gritted her teeth and smiled forcefully: "I said that why did he come back yesterday with such a bad face, by the way, what are you doing here?" Shouldn't you go to the front room? ”
Mo Li smiled embarrassedly: "I drank more water when I came out this morning, and it was a little inconvenient to come over this time, just now I asked a sister to lead the way, but that sister was called away halfway, so I turned around in place, and I didn't want to be a little dizzy." ”
Zhou Lingling chuckled, showed Mo Li the way, and then led her maid to turn around and walk back.
"Girl, did she believe it?" After Zhou Lingling walked away, Hongdou quietly asked.
Mo Li glanced back and smiled faintly: "Go back, the people in the front hall should be all here, just send me." ”……
After Zhou Lingling returned to her room angrily, several clicks immediately came from the room. The maids in the room were all frightened, but no one dared to stop her crazy behavior.
The delicate petals and verdant branches and leaves, as if they had been ravaged by a violent storm, all fell to the ground in a slump, and then were mercilessly trampled into mud by the high, hard soles of the shoes.
In the end, Zhou Lingling threw the scissors in her hand between the broken flowers and leaves, and then spat out fiercely.
