Chapter 385: Almost
Originally, Xia Li was a little worried about Chu Fang, but later when he thought that he was the second prince, he laughed at himself and didn't want to be redundant.
But at this time, it was just half past night, Xia Li said that she didn't want to, but she still couldn't sleep crankily, she listened carefully to the dull footsteps on the street for a while before stopping.
The night is already quiet, and with her profound skills, she hears more than others, so listening to this sound feels like being in the courtyard of Xia Mansion.
The footsteps are far away with a very fast rhythm, listening to a little panic, the pace is different, a sound is from the full running, I don't know if there is something urgent in Beijing, like to catch someone, I don't know who is in trouble, I hope they are all safe.
Xia Li no longer felt sleepy because of this disturbance in the middle of the night, and kept his eyes open until dawn.
As soon as the day dawned, he cleaned himself up, and he didn't dare to go to the front yard to disturb, and his father and third uncle were still asleep and didn't wake up, and then he heard a sound in the kitchen in the front yard, so he went to take a look, and then found that the cook had gotten up to prepare breakfast, Xia Li asked Qing Shui to invite this person, and the salary he gave was not low, after all, people were also going to celebrate the New Year, and he didn't reunite with his family to help her here, so Xia Li gave twice as much as others in terms of money.
When she got there, she found that the cook had already sat down with several delicious things, including steamed cakes, dumplings, bean cakes, and a few golden fritters.
The cook lady is a middle-aged woman in her forties, probably because of the poverty of her family, her face is full of wrinkles, and she looks like she is in her fifties.
When this person came, even his clothes were patched, Xia Li specially ordered Qing Shui to lead her to buy a few sets and come back to change them, and now she looks old, but she is clean and neat everywhere on her body.
Aunt Wang was startled by her sudden voice, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Miss Master, and said, "Miss, you scared me, why did you get up so early?"
Xia Li said there: "I got up much earlier than I got up."
Aunt Wang smiled: "It's going to be the New Year, how can I get a few more things to eat, and I don't know what you all like to eat, so I got some of everything."
When she came, Xia Li told her that the people in the family had the same food as them, and they should do more to do anything, so as not to have enough food for these people.
In addition to being surprised by the generosity of this master, Aunt Wang also felt that the family was very kind.
Xia Li said there: "There are many people in the family, and you are busy working alone, it is really hard Aunt Wang"
"Miss is too polite, these are what I should do, I don't feel hard, Miss asked someone to give me so much wages, that is my man can only earn by doing a whole year's work, he is still sick, with this money can be raised at home for a while longer and then work"
Aunt Wang put the food in the pot and warmed it, and then covered the lid before saying to Xia Li.
Xia Li has never lived such a life, and of course she doesn't know what kind of life it is, but if you think about it, it must be similar to when she didn't eat or drink.
After thinking about it, in that way:
"Aunt Wang, don't worry, as long as you do a good job with me, I won't lose you"
Aunt Wang hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Miss, thank you."
Xia Li had nothing to do early in the morning, and chatted with Aunt Wang here for a while before leaving.
This was only when Aunt Wang drove her away, saying that there was a lot of smoke in the kitchen, and then she was smoked, and told her to hurry up and stay elsewhere, waiting for everyone to get up and eat.
Xia Li was afraid that Aunt Wang would think she was hungry for a while, and thought that she would eat first, so she didn't leave any longer.
When she walked to her father's room, she heard only the sound of rustling inside, and it seemed that the people inside had already started to get up, but she didn't know if her father had gotten up.
She was afraid that the third uncle would not be dressed in it, so she didn't enter, so she thought that everyone would pack up after a while, so she walked around the front and back of the house alone.
The winter in the morning is a little cold, and the clouds of white air exhaled are like clouds and mist, which makes people feel like they are spitting out something magical from their mouths, which is fun and beautiful.
Xia Li had nothing to do for a while, so he stood in the corner of the house and exhaled, exhaled, and practiced exhaling in his body.
Although I haven't been in the mood to practice for a long time, I feel a stream of air flowing through my body when I practice, and I don't feel cold at all.
At this time, the sun had just risen, revealing its round red face, and the smoke of various colors of the roof flew up, like a youkai dancing into the air.
This is still every time Xia Li sees such a scene, she was not in the mood to notice these when she got up early before, and she had never gotten up so early before, often turning black and white upside down, and sleeping until late before getting up.
Today she really has nothing to do to look at the distance in the sky, the capital in the morning is calm and peaceful, she didn't hear any bad sounds, like last night's chaotic footsteps are a bit like her nightmare, is it really her dream, she doubts.
Later, when I thought about it, the sound was real, and what happened must be true, otherwise I wouldn't have raised the army in the middle of the night.
Thinking of this, she walked towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but before she had taken two steps, she heard the third uncle in her father's room shouting quietly: "Hurry up...... Go and call someone."
Although Xia Li's body was moved when he heard this, he used a lot of strength, just looking at her figure, he entered his father's house in a flash, glanced at his father who went straight to the bed with a blue face, quickly helped his body up, and used his strength to push down from his neck, only a few pushes of his father's breath to ease up.
Obviously, he was so enchanted by phlegm that he couldn't breathe this breath, and if she came one step too late, his father would have held it back.
Xia Zhifang, who was standing on the side, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the second brother's face had improved, and then looked at Xia Li in surprise for a long time before saying, "Li'er...... You...... How did you just get in? ”
Xia Li looked at the third uncle in front of him and didn't talk about this topic, but just said: "Fortunately, the third uncle found out in time, otherwise my father would be in danger today."
The third old man, Xia Zhifang, forgot to ask because of this interruption, and said there: "I'm scared to death, I only saw your father like this when I turned around in this gongyi, but it's okay...... Good thing you arrived in time."
At this time, Xia Zhi'an also woke up, and after this toss, he was refreshed, opened his eyes and looked around, and said, "What is this?" ”
Xia Zhifang was happy when he saw that the second brother was sober, and hurriedly went over and replied: "Second brother, this is your second room in the Xia Mansion!" Did you forget? ”
Xia Zhi'an looked left and right, and found the desk he used to use, the pen and ink placed on the desk, and the few unclosed books he used to read in the cabinet next to him, and said: "This is indeed my study, and I really go home."
