Chapter 19: The Old Lady
"Don't waste it, you can't get in at all." An Yize made a mocking voice, "The Li Mansion is not something that people like you can enter. ”
"Really? I see you, don't you wait outside the door as well. Mo Xiaoqi finally spoke, but one mouth made An Yize sulk.
The door of the Li Mansion finally opened, and a pretty maid came out of it, and she looked Mo Xiaoqi and An Yize up and down.
Just when he wanted to open his mouth to pick up someone, An Yize handed over a gold ingot.
But the maid sneered, and instead of reaching out to take it, she said, "Let's go!" The old lady is not a guest today. ”
"I heard that the old lady has a bad appetite recently, and she brought some delicious food and a doctor, and I sincerely want to meet the old lady." An Yize began to display his charming smile, but the maid didn't react as if she didn't see it.
"Sister, I'm here by someone, people can't go in, so can you help me bring things in? Let's just say that I am a guest incense. Mo Xiaoqi saw that this maid was a master who didn't eat hard and soft.
"Nope." The maid refused outright.
Just when Mo Xiaoqi and An Yize were very disappointed, Zhao Hongyi stood behind Mo Xiaoqi.
"Let's go, let's go in." Zhao Hongyi took Mo Xiaoqi's hand and entered the door under the watchful eye of the maid.
Then An Yize also wanted to follow in, but the maid immediately reached out to stop him.
"What? I let you in? The maid's arrogant appearance made An Yize deflated.
If he changed to an ordinary woman, he would definitely find a way to sleep until she was convinced, but this maid of the Li Mansion, he still didn't dare to make a move.
"Why can they go in, but I can't." An Yize smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat teeth.
"That's my little boy, of course you can enter, who do you think you are." After the maid finished speaking, she closed the door directly.
And the moment he closed the door, An Yize saw Mo Xiaoqi turn around and smiled at him.
Damn woman, An Yize gritted her teeth, snatched the food box in the maid's hand and slammed it directly on the ground.
He never expected that Zhao Hongyi would still have such a relationship with Mrs. Li.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" The maid asked aloud.
"Go home!" An Yize kicked the food box on the ground, turned his head and left.
It's not the first time that the An family has delivered food boxes, but they haven't been able to see Mrs. Li every time.
So this time he came in person, but he never expected that this time he couldn't even enter the gate.
Seeing that the hateful woman entered the Li Mansion, but he had nothing to do, and he couldn't use force, this feeling of aggrieved made him very uncomfortable.
"It seems that the An family also wants to fight for the hosting of this birthday banquet." Mo Xiaoqi held the food box in his hand, whether it can be done or not depends on today.
Zhao Hongyi smiled gently, turned his face to look at her, and said, "Don't worry. Grandma must love you. ”
"I hope so. But it's useless to just like me, you have to like what I make first. Mo Xiaoqi walked all the way, never taking his eyes off the carefully tended flowers in the garden.
The house is full of flowers and trees, and it can be seen that the owner is a person who loves flowers and plants.
"Don't worry, this grandmother is a very kind and gentle old man." Zhao Hong wanted to let her relax, but she didn't understand.
The two were walking in the garden, and Zhao Hongyi didn't seem to be in a hurry to take her to see Mrs. Li.
This made Mo Xiaoqi wonder if he didn't know the road at all.
"Hongyi, do you know the road? I went around several times, but I still couldn't get out. The corners of her mouth twitched.
Zhao Hongyi touched the back of his head and smiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiaoqi, I am busy with official business on weekdays, and I often come to see my grandmother at night." This cold day comes, and I don't know the way all of a sudden. ”
"Okay. Then let's ask someone. Mo Xiaoqi wasn't angry, just helpless.
"Cheng, you just stay where you are, I'll go and ask someone. I just saw a gardener over there. Zhao Hongyi walked away quickly, and soon his figure disappeared into the flowers and plants.
"Hongyi? Lord Zhao? Mo Xiaoqi saw that Zhao Hongyi had gone for a long time and did not come back.
If he didn't come back, the food in the box would be cold, even though she had made it warm.
So she tried to call his name in the garden.
But no one responded, she didn't know the way, and the flowers and plants here were like a maze that made people lose their sense of direction.
She was very glorious, she got lost again, and she couldn't even find the place where she was waiting for Zhao Hongyi.
As she walked, she saw a courtyard wall, with the triangular plum clinging to the wall, and a small wooden door with mottled colors between the shadows.
She thought to herself, instead of sitting still, she would go out and have a look through the small wooden door.
But before I could push open the small wooden door, I heard an "ouch" sound.
She followed the sound and saw an old man in coarse cloth clothes fall beside the courtyard wall, under the triangular plum.
"Grandma, are you alright?" Mo Xiaoqi hurriedly put down the food box and stepped forward to help. The old man got up from the ground, but sat down on the ground again.
"Oh, this man, he's old. and the bones are no longer at the mercy of the command. The old grandmother sighed and raised her eyes to look at Mo Xiaoqi, "Girl, thank you." ”
"No thanks, grandma, are you okay with your legs?" Mo Xiaoqi said worriedly.
"Ahem, it's okay, it's fine, it's just that my legs are weak all of a sudden, and I can't stand." The old woman said with a smile.
Mo Xiaoqi wanted to help the old man up, but the old man shook his head and said, "No need, I'll sit for a while, it's not bad to rest in place." ”
"Grandma, are you the gardener in the house?" Mo Xiaoqi noticed the small hoe in the old man's hand.
"Gardener? No, my grandson is helping in the house, I'm afraid he will work hard, thinking that my old bones can also help. The old man smiled kindly and touched the small hoe in his hand.
"I see. Then your grandson is very powerful, the flowers and plants in this garden are very prosperous, especially the triangular plum on the wall, it is really beautiful, like a waterfall of flowers. Mo Xiaoqi said in an admiring tone.
"yes. My grandson is excellent. When the old man heard someone praising his grandson, his eyes were smiling like a thread.
Mo Xiaoqi felt that it was inappropriate to stand and talk, so he simply sat on the ground. Anyway, it's better to wait for this old grandmother to rest well, and then let the old lady take her out.
"Grandma, do you know the way here?" Mo Xiaoqi was a little embarrassed, "Don't hide it, I'm lost." ”
"Lost? What a coincidence, girl. I'm also lost in old bones. The old man glanced at Mo Xiaoqi sympathetically, "But my grandson will come to me." ”
"That's right. So when will he be found? Mo Xiaoqi asked.
"I don't know, I'll find it." The old man's speech was a little out of bounds, which made Mo Xiaoqi very distressed.
