"Huh? Hey, big brother......"
The man ran in in a panic, and didn't even have time to close the door. Lin Zhenniang even screamed a few times, but she didn't let the porter look back.
"What counts?" Lin Zhenniang frowned and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
The small servants of large families, even if they are not waiting with their masters, most of them have passed through some world, like this gatehouse, leaving their two visitors at the door, and even forgetting to close the door and running away, Lin Zhenniang really hasn't heard of it.
Standing at the door, I couldn't see what was going on inside through a shadow wall, although I felt that it was annoying to be left at the door like this, but it was not good to leave like this. Especially now that the doors are wide open, and they are leaving, there is really something to say.
Fortunately, but after a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the shadow wall, and an old man hurriedly turned out, making a move and playing a thousand, "Two, I'm sorry, Xiao Lao has already asked Xiao Shunzi to go inside to invite the second housekeeper, and please go to the gatehouse to sit for a while." β
is polite and polite, this looks like an old man who is a little old, but it shows a bit of the style of the gentry of Xiao's hometown. Lin Zhenniang and the others were no longer polite, and followed the old man to the small inverted room behind the shadow wall. Although it was a small horse, it was better than being left out in the middle of the night to drink the north wind.
The two sat down, and only then did they talk to the old man about half a cup of tea, and there was already a sound outside.
"Are you really sure they say it's a fat boy who looks like a kid?" It's a man, and just by listening to the voice, you can tell that he's calm.
The porter snorted, and said it several times, but before he could say that he understood, the man snorted coldly, although he did not scold, but he had brought out obvious unhappiness.
When the footsteps reached the door, the old man had already gotten up and went out to greet him. Li An also got up immediately, but it was Lin Zhenniang, and only after the people entered the house did he get up with grace.
She ran in the middle of the night to deliver the letter, and was left out for a while, just in breath! I'm not in the mood to smile at people.
Fortunately, the second housekeeper of the Xiao family was still modest, and when he saw Li and Lin, he first bowed his hand and said a few polite words before he smiled and asked the reason.
"I don't know if the two of you said that the young man is the little lang of our Xiao family!?"
"Who climbed the wall from your back garden, who is not from your Xiao family?" Lin Zhenniang pouted, "Second housekeeper, if you are not sure, you can also send someone to come to me for a visit, if so, you can pick it up." If not, we will send it to the yamen......"
After saying this, she ignored the second housekeeper's expression, and just muttered strangely, is this not Jia Xiaolang just listening. Where are so many ......?"
"Ahem......" Li An coughed in time and covered the second half of Lin Zhenniang's words.
"Second housekeeper, if not, you go to the back house and ask." As soon as Ang Lee's words fell, a person outside had already trotted in.
Attached to the second butler's ear, the little guy whispered back. Lin Zhenniang's ears were sharp, and she only vaguely heard words like "I was in a hurry when I heard it later, it seems to be a ......".
In this way, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help frowning secretly.
Yes yes, no, no, or so?
Although the Xiao family is not fine, but no one can say no to this, right? There are not a lot of words like their own Xiaolang, not yet? One by one, it seems that I am not sure if I have a little man of this age and such a look?
Although it's not easy to ask, Lin Zhenniang still can't help but say Second Steward, do you send someone or not? β
"Naturally." Hurriedly said a word, the second housekeeper smiled, and then calmly said thank you for the little lady and this report, I will go to pick up our Xiaolang. β
Hearing him say to pick up, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't care that the young man was the Xiao family, as long as she picked him up.
However, although he said that he would pick it up, it took him half an hour to get out of the Xiao family. From the time she came back, it took more than an hour, to say the least, Lin Zhenniang's patience was almost exhausted, and her face was very unsightly.
Li An has a good temper, unlike Lin Zhenniang, who is still smiling all the time on her face. walked a few steps, but quietly touched Lin Zhenniang's shoulder, "Did you see it?" β
Lin Zhenniang didn't look back, only looked back from the corner of her eye. As soon as she went out, she saw it. In addition to the second housekeeper and two young servants, there were two other people who went with them to pick them up, one was a maid of about twenty, and the other was a woman who was tightly wrapped from head to toe.
It's spring, and no matter how cold it is at night, it's limited, so where is the need to wrap your head? The woman was dressed like this, obviously not wanting people to see who she was. However, it was just to pick up a teenager who was a little mentally retarded, and he behaved like thisβno, not for this woman, but for that boy. Perhaps, the people of the Xiao family don't want people to have a mentally retarded teenager in their family at all, so this kind of battle is like a secret operation of spies in later generations.
Lin Zhenniang thought about it in her heart, and her face became a little more ugly. For such a family that even her family dislikes, she despises it from the bottom of her heart.
People live for a lifetime, and becoming a family is the fate of the previous life, can you cherish it?
Because of this, she didn't look back with the Xiao family along the way, but just silently led the way. It was Ang Lee, who said a few words when the second housekeeper smiled. It's just just a few sentences, and after a few sentences, there is no one else. Along the way, only the barking of dogs could be heard in the distance.
Before returning to the shop, the barbecue party had already dispersed. Father Wang drank too much, and the night was too deep, so he simply didn't go back to Cao County, but was brought back by Lin Si to "come back with delicious food", and rested there at night.
Liu Yuan lay on the table, half-squinting, as if he was about to fall asleep. Behind him, Chen was holding a jacket and was about to put it on him.
Ruyu on the side was whispering to Lin Jing, and she didn't know what to say, so she suddenly laughed. The fat boy sat opposite, and he didn't understand it, so he looked at Lin Jing and laughed so innocently.
Lin Zhenniang hooked her lips, and before she could laugh, she was suddenly knocked away. Staggering, Lin Zhenniang took several steps to the side to stabilize her figure, turned her head to look, and realized that it was the one who covered her head.
I saw the man running quickly, hugging the young man, crying and laughing, my son, but he suffered......"
At first glance, Lin Zhenniang, who had already been hit by a big fire, immediately became furious.
Meaning? This guy climbed the wall, they ate and drank well, and they deliberately ran so far to inform, this guy suffered?!
"That, auntie......" Lin Zhenniang took a few steps forward, and before she could finish speaking, the woman turned around.
The young man was hugged by her, and he was not honest, twisted left and right, and rubbed the woman's headscarf away, so that the woman turned back, and Lin Zhenniang just saw the woman clearly.
With a pair of eyes, Lin Zhenniang was shocked. Just now she only thought that this woman might be the nurse that the young man said, but now that she looks at it, this could be the nurse?
Under the green cloth coat, it is a good dark pattern brocade shirt, although there is not too much decoration, and the color is not gorgeous, but at a glance you know that it is not a cheap material. The bun was slightly scattered, thinking that it was combed urgently, it was not so neat, and only a golden hairpin was inserted obliquely on the head. But the woman's face looked to be no more than thirty years old, and although there was a hint of melancholy, she was really beautiful. Although it is not as young as that Yumei, it is still above her in terms of appearance, and there is a graceful and luxurious beauty, as if it is a blooming peony, which makes people's eyes shine.
Stunned, Lin Zhenniang was about to speak, but the woman had suddenly pulled her headscarf and covered her face again.
Lin Zhenniang was angry, swallowed what she wanted to say back into her stomach, and only said loudly The second housekeeper, the person is here, look at it, if it is your family's Xiaolang, bring it! β
That's nonsense, that's all hugging, and it's not.
The second housekeeper was not annoyed, smiled, and said to the young man Xiaolangjun, let's go home quickly! You see, put the ...... Anxious......"
He deliberately said the words in the middle very vaguely, Lin Zhenniang couldn't hear what he said at all, but he probably said the woman.
"No, ......no," the young man struggled and pushed the woman holding him vigorously, "No, nurse, no...... I, I'm going to play ......"
was almost pushed to the ground by the young man, but the woman still refused to let go, and only hurriedly said Brother Bao'er, you want to play, the nurse will play with you, it's late, let's go home! β
It's really a nurse?!
Lin Zhenniang raised her eyebrows, flattened her mouth, and remained silent. It wasn't until the young man became more and more ferocious, and even hit people with his body when the two little guys pulled him, and even kicked her small round stool down, that he couldn't help but step forward and scold You are making trouble? If someone from your family comes to pick you up, you'll be fine! Tell you, if you make trouble again, I won't give you meat and cold water! β
I don't know if Lin Zhenniang's voice is too loud, or the young man really loves to eat barbecue too much, but his body was shocked, and he was really honest.
The woman turned her head and looked at Lin Zhenniang strangely, and she didn't bother to say anything else, just pulled the young man's hand and pulled him.
After being dragged and walked a few steps, the young man turned back again, reluctantly, "I'm still here to eat meat......"
Lin Zhenniang didn't say anything, and the young man didn't move, just stubbornly looked at her with watery eyes. It wasn't until Lin Zhenniang nodded that he slapped happily and let the woman drag him away.
The second butler, who was half a step behind, was making a joke and laughing again, only saying that he would come to the door again to thank him, but he didn't mention the identity of the young man.
Lin Zhenniang also smirked, sent everyone away, and then snorted twice and went to help Dongbo clean up the tables and chairs.
Turning her head and seeing that the Chen family had been staring at the Xiao family's distant figure, she couldn't help but wonder, "Mother, are you watching?" β
"Ah, no, no......" Chen smiled, retracting his gaze, but he still couldn't help but murmur strangely, the woman just now - no, it can't be! Will it? β
The woman?
Lin Zhenniang raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen. Xindao: Could it be that the mother of the man actually knows? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
