Chapter 186 The Old Master and the Old Servant
Haitang listened to Li Xiaoyi's words, hurriedly carried the box over, filled the fine dim sum she brought, and poured a bowl of red date lotus seed soup out, Shen Pozi took a sip of soup, ate a bite of dim sum, suddenly remembered, hurriedly swallowed dim sum, and said with a smile: "You find someone to deliver a letter to Liu Niangzi, just say that I talked to the old sister, let her not be anxious." ”
"Grandma, don't worry, I invite you to come, Huang Yuanshan knows."
Mrs. Shen's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "This noble person Huang Yuanshan met is you?" Li Xiaoqi thought for a while and nodded: "Probably." ”
"Alas! That's good, that's good, you don't know, in the past few days, I almost didn't scare Liu Niangzi to death, and even my heart is up and down, and I don't have a place to live! Mrs. Shen didn't care about eating and drinking for a while, she raised her hand and patted her chest, breathing a long sigh of relief, Li Xiaoqi became inexplicable, Mrs. Shen was relieved, and laughed while thinking about it, looked at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "How did you clean him up?" How did it become like that? Alas, this person has changed his sex too much, it's scary! ”
"I didn't care much about him, I didn't want to keep him, just kill him, but then I thought about Liu Niangzi, dragging a child, if there is no Huang Yuanshan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live, he is here, so he is a dependent." Li Xiaoqi explained, and while serving the red date lotus seed soup to Shen Pozi: "Grandma, eat first, let's talk slowly." Mrs. Shen took the soup and drank two sips, shook her head and sighed: "It turns out that he is afraid of death!" You're right, it's really without him, Liu Niangzi•••••• alas, don't say that you can't compare with me, this person is really stupid, she has a good heart, she is very kind, and she is also diligent and willing to work, but she is stupid! Teach her to do needlework, and until now, the toe of the shoe still can't be straightened! Huang Yuanshan is still a bit human, he has a stutter, and he can still think of his son, he is often away from home for ten days and half a month, Liu Niangzi takes his son to eat with me, my body is not as good as a day in the past few years, and I can also do needlework, fetch water, cook on fire, wash clothes, etc., all of which Liu Niangzi helped do, alas, thanks to her, she is also thanks to me, these years have been so hungry and full of food. Li Xiaoqi listened sadly, and hurriedly persuaded Mrs. Shen: "Grandma drinks soup and then talks, eat a piece of red bean crisp, I remember that Grandma likes to eat this the most." ”
"Good!" Mrs. Shen responded with a smile, took a few bites of red bean crisp and ate it, and the begonia poured a bowl of soup over, and Mrs. Shen said while eating: "When Huang Yuanshan came back that day, I remember it clearly, my face was white and no one looked, holding the Hu cake, as soon as I entered the door, I stuffed the cake into Liu Niangzi's arms, and said while stuffing it, 'You eat, Xiaobao eats, I will eat the rest!'" 'I almost didn't scare Liu Niangzi to death, from then until today, this Huang Yuanshan has completely changed into a person, and he has become a perfect person who is difficult to find with a lantern, and he can do it, and he earned four or five taels of silver in a few days, and he can't say anything about Liu Niangzi's good ••••••! Mrs. Shen's face was amused and emotional: "Mrs. Liu is frightened, I can't figure it out, you say that no one can figure it out if you put this matter on anyone, right?" So that's it! Li Xiaoqi listened to it funny and sad, and did not urge Mrs. Shen, accompanied her to gossip, slowly ate a few more snacks, and rested for half an hour, before instructing Haitang to take a black silk cotton hooded cloak for Mrs. Shen to wear, out of the yard, and sneaked away with Xi'an and Changchang to Qingfeng Nunnery.
Xi'an stabbed open the courtyard door where the Xiao family lived a few times, and led Li Xiaoqi and Shen Pozi to the main house directly, Shen Pozi grabbed Li Xiaomi's hand, Li Xiaomian leaned into her ear, and comforted her in a low voice: "Grandma, don't worry, it's all arranged." Mrs. Shen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Xiaoqi held her, helped her into the main room with a little force, and turned into the inner room, the inner room was like a bean, and there was a withered woman lying on her back on the bed, her sparse hair was completely white, unkempt and scattered on the pillow, her eyes were closed, if it weren't for the slight ups and downs in her chest, she would be a dead person.
Mrs. Shen stared at the person on the bed, a gluck of fear came out of her throat, her two hands spasmodically picked the back of Li Xiaomi's hand, and the tears of Li Xiaomi's pain came out, Li Xiaomi's heart understood, and she hurriedly dragged Mrs. Shen out, Mrs. Shen suddenly got rid of Li Xiaomi, rushed forward a few steps, and fell in front of the bed, looking at Xiao Shi on the bed, tears fell in strings, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to drag her up, Mrs. Shen shook her head, pushed Li Xiaomi, retreated back on her knees, and kowtowed three times respectfully at Xiao on the bed, Only then did Li Xiaoqi help him stand up and leave the house. Out of the yard, Haitang hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xiaoqi help Mrs. Shen, and walked forward for half an hour to get into the car, Xi'an rushed to the car, and the car quietly galloped towards the north gate of Taiping Mansion.
The car ran for a long time before Mrs. Shen shouted through her tone: "Mrs. Xiao•••••• she is really not dead!" She'•••••• pitiful! Li Xiaoqi stretched out his hand to stroke Shen Pozi's chest and breathed down, and persuaded in a low voice: "Grandma, don't be sad, don't you often say, it's everyone's life." Mrs. Shen nodded again and again, kept wiping her tears, Haitang handed over a handkerchief, Li Xiaoqi cried in a low voice by Mrs. Shen for a while, and then signaled Begonia to pour a cup of tea, handed it to Mrs. Shen and persuaded: "Grandma drink a cup of tea." Shen Pozi took a deep breath and exhaled a few breaths, took the tea and drank it, and even sighed a few times, Li Xiaoqi didn't wait for her to speak, and then said: "I asked Grandma to send Grandma to Kaiping Mansion, Grandma walks slowly, you go first, after a few days of finishing things, I will also rush back, and Grandma will follow me to support the elderly in the future, don't go back to Taiping ••••••Mansion." ”
"Girl, tell me the truth, what are you doing now?" Shen Pozi asked suddenly, Li Xiaoqi was silent for a moment, and explained in a low voice: "Grandma, I can't say it clearly for a while, don't worry, it's not a bandit business that kills people and oversells goods, Brother Shui Sheng just passed the Wujieyuan exam in Beiping a few days ago, and he is preparing to take the martial arts exam, and the eldest brother is the commander of the four armies in Beiping." Li Xiaoqi said while looking at Mrs. Shen, who heard something that made her stunned or surprised this night.
"Grandma, you can't go back to Taiping Mansion again." Li Xiaoqi added in a low voice, Mrs. Shen sighed, nodded, and understood: "Mrs. Xiao came back from the dead, I'm afraid that something big is going to happen, I heard about the girl's placement, and it is also my blessing to be able to follow the girl to support the elderly." Li Xiaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, Haitang handed over a purse, Li Xiaoqi pulled out the purse, handed it to Shen Pozi and looked at it and explained: "There are five hundred taels of silver tickets here, and there are some bits and pieces of silver, you put it away, I arranged two guards, one surnamed Zhang, one surnamed Sun, let them send you over, they are all used to this road, you don't have to worry about living and eating along the way, there is no hurry on the road, if you feel that the itinerary is too tight and tired, just tell them, slow down, where uncomfortable and unsatisfactory, But I have told you everything. Li Xiaoqi explained carefully, and Mrs. Shen nodded again and again: "Don't worry, girl, Grandma is also a person who has gone through things." While speaking, the car slowly stopped, Li Xiaoqi and Haitang helped Shen Pozi get out of the car, and there was a wide and sturdy, paulownia wood car for long-distance travel parked next to it, and two sturdy guards dressed up stood in front of the car, and when they saw Li Xiaoqi and others coming down, they hurriedly stepped forward to give Li Xiaoqi a salute first, and then saluted Shen Pozi to the end: "Old lady!" ”
Li Xiaoqi instructed a few more words, helped Mrs. Shen to get into the car with Haitang, and looked around again, then put down the curtain, took two steps back, explained a few words to the two guards, watched Mrs. Shen's car trot into the night, then turned back and got into the car, found a secluded place and waited until the city gate opened before returning to Taiping Mansion.
In the lobby of the rich Qian family house in the north of the city, Luo Yan wore a black gauze hat that hung down to his feet, sat proudly on the first chair on the left, sobbing from time to time, Qian Fuze sat on the top, one hand clenched into a fist on the high table next to him, the corners of his eyes twitched non-stop, staring at Luo Yan viciously, speechless angrily, Wu Xianzhong, the steward of Wu Mansion, stood on the right side of Luo Yan with his hands on his chest, plucked the corners of his mouth, looked at Qian Fuze with disdain, and said in a weird manner: "•••••• our lord hates you villains the most!" deceived people, and deceived money! What is it! Dare to love that this full house of richness is deceived like this? Listen, you don't have time to grind your teeth with you, our lord said, you can do this by yourself, if you don't recognize it, go back to the master and ask for a post, first check from the tea house, and then check the silk shop, check one place and seal one place! How to eat and how to spit it out for the master! ”
The flesh on Qian Fuze's face shook violently for a while, the Wu family, he can't afford to provoke it, no one can afford to mess with this merchant in the city, this slut actually caught up with the eldest son of the Wu family, okay! This heel admits it to itself! Count her ruthless!
"I admit it! Count me as honoring the eldest prince of Wu••••••"
"Whew! Our uncle wants you to be filial? People who want to honor our uncle can line up all the way to Chizhou Mansion from the palace gate! Your turn? Bah! Steward Wu didn't give half of the face, and blocked it back with a loud 'bah', Qian Fuze's face was purple, his lips trembled for a long time, and he didn't dare to use his fingers to point at the falling geese, only stared at the falling geese, dumb throat, and said in a low and fierce voice: "Okay!" The mountains don't turn, you wait! Luo Yan stared at him straight and replied: "That's a good thing, the mountains don't turn around, see who turns into whom!" Qian Fuze blocked his throat in one breath, and a cool breath came out of his heart.
"Don't talk nonsense! There are a lot of things to do! If you want to pay it back, be neat! Steward Wu urged impatiently, Qian Fuze suppressed the coolness and anger in his heart, called the little guy in, and ordered the library to take a few boxes of gold, jewelry, and jade.
