The dialogue between the master and servant of the Huang family was full of swords and swords, and they fought for several rounds in just a few words, all of which were tricks in the back house, and everyone would not fail to see it, but they only did not see it. Ni and Li talked and laughed along the way, and soon came to the second gate, and everyone got into the car.

Chen Ying and the others sat in a four-horse cart, so in addition to the three girls, there were three other servants who also followed the car, namely Xunzhen, Little Kite and a middle-aged servant woman of the He family, Chen Ying listened to He Sui call her sister-in-law Ye.

Although Ni had already explained, but there were suddenly two more people in the car, Li Xi was a little unhappy, and after getting in the car, he pulled Chen Ying and didn't let go, insisting that she sit next to the car window, and also lifted the curtain to look out together, but ignored He Sui.

That Er He girl is also interesting, Li Xi ignored her, but she kept looking at Li Xi quietly, her eyes were shining, eager and curious.

Chen Ying observed the two of the He family with the rest of her eyes, and soon discovered a strange thing.

Since Sister-in-law Ye got into the car, she sat silently in the corner, ignoring He Sui, which was in stark contrast to Xunzhen who was serving tea and delivering snacks.

Chen Ying couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Although the rules of the small family are not so strict, this Sister-in-law Ye seems to be too useless, Mo Dao is diligent, and she can't even do the most basic service, and although He Sui is a little unsafe, she doesn't blame her, as if she has completely given up being the master in front of Sister-in-law Ye, or she doesn't know how to train such a servant at all.

Another strange pair of master and servant.

Chen Ying thought, subconsciously thinking of Guo Wan who met by chance in the Guilin forest.

The pair of master and servant were also very strange.

At this moment, the carriage is still parked and has not moved, and the outside of the window is just the gate of the mansion, so there is nothing to see at all, but Li Xi is interested, pulling Chen Ying and saying, "Cousin, look, there is a donkey cart over there." ”

Chen Ying looked out helplessly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a man in a gray shirt hurrying out of the mansion, and it was Steward Lu.

Chen Ying immediately stopped talking and stared at him.

Ni had not boarded the car at this time, and was busy arranging the vehicles next to him, and at this moment, he also saw Steward Lu, so he asked him with a smile: "Why did Steward Lu come over?" ”

He is the most useful steward by Li Heng's side, and Ni Pingsu also respects him for three points, and he is polite in his words.

Before Steward Lu could speak, he only strode up to Ni's face, bowed, and handed over an envelope first, Fang said in a deep voice: "This is what the master called to hand over to Madame." ”

Ni Shi was slightly surprised, and then amused: "What is there that is not good to say in person, why write a letter?" While speaking, he received the letter in his hand, and was about to open it, who wanted to be in charge of Lu suddenly raised his hand to make a stop action, and said solemnly: "Madam, the lord is specially explained, and the letter can only be read after the car travels two miles outside the city." ”

When he said this, his expression was very solemn, and he raised his hand to point to the envelope.

Ni Shi lowered her head and looked at it, only then did she realize that the letter was actually sealed with fire paint, she couldn't help but be stunned, pinched the letter and looked at Steward Lu, with a hidden question in her eyes: "What does this mean, master?" ”

Steward Lu shook his head solemnly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if it's small." Only the lord asked the lady to remember that the letter must be opened two miles away from the city, not in advance, and not postponed. After a pause, he said in an accentuated tone: "This matter is extremely important, and the lord asks the lady to listen to him." ”

When Ni heard this, he became more and more confused, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "I know, you go back and tell the master, just say that I will do what he says." ”

Steward Lu bowed and saluted, and then strode back again.

Looking at his back and disappearing behind the door, Ni's face was stunned, and Chen Ying in the carriage was also slightly uneasy at this time.

"Why did my father send a letter at this time?" Li Xi, who was on the side, stretched his neck for a long time, and saw that Ni got into another carriage, so he gently turned Chen Ying with his elbow, "Cousin, guess what is written in that letter?" ”

Chen Ying habitually wanted to twist the corners of her mouth, but she didn't succeed.

The letter sent by Steward Lu, as well as what he said, made her pay special attention.

Is Li Heng in the house at the moment? If not, what did he do early in the morning? And if so, why don't you come out and explain it yourself, but instead send a steward to deliver the letter?

Also, why did he have to go two miles out of the city before allowing Ni to open the letter?

Inevitably, Chen Ying remembered Li Heng's recent actions and the seemingly tense atmosphere in the outer study.

This is a bit unusual.

“…… Cousin, cousin, what are you thinking? Ignore me! Li Xi's slightly coquettish complaint came suddenly, and then Chen Ying's sleeve was pulled.

She pulled back her thoughts, turned her head to look at Li Xi, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was distracted for a while, and I didn't hear you speak." After a pause, he added to her last question: "Uncle must have something important to deliver the letter at this time. ”

Li Xi frowned, bit her lip, and thought about it for a while, but when she glanced at it, she saw a longbow and a pot of arrows in the corner of the carriage, and her attention was immediately attracted.

"Cousin, how did you bring out all the bows and arrows? Do you want to practice shooting in the mountains? She asked, curiously leaning over and touching the quiver, picking up the leather bracer and fiddling with it for a while, and finally even touching the arrow, which startled Xun Zhen next to her.

The tip of the arrow is solid iron, and it is very sharp, and it will be a bad thing if it is tied to Li Xi.

"Watch out, this arrow is not shrouded, don't touch it." Because he was sitting on his knees, Xunzhen stepped forward on his knees while talking, took out a pair of gloves from his sleeve, and presented them with both hands: "Cousin girl is wearing this glove, which is covered with extremely thick cotton, and she is not afraid of pricking her hands." ”

Chen Ying was also taken aback, she didn't expect Li Xi to be so reckless, and hurriedly reminded: "Cousin, put on gloves first, this bow and arrow is not a joke." ”

Just as they were talking, no one noticed that Sister-in-law Ye suddenly raised her head, glanced at Chen Ying attentively, and continued to sit with her head down, with a somewhat indifferent expression on her face.

At this time, the strange-looking gloves obviously diverted Li Xi's attention again, she no longer cared about the bow and arrows, picked up the gloves with one hand, and smiled with the other: "Cousin, why do you take this strange thing with you everywhere you go?" What kind of gloves do these look really ugly. ”

Chen Ying had not yet spoken, and He Sui, who had always been sitting on the side like an invisible person, opened his mouth at this time, and his soft voice was like a thin layer of smoke, wafting past everyone's ears: "This thing was originally called a glove, but it is really exquisite, Miss Chen San is so smart." ”
