Passing by
Hearing that Li Du was coming, Mengxi was so shocked that cold sweat oozed from his forehead. I was at a loss. Zhichun saw that the second grandmother's face was wrong, and asked:
"Second grandma, what's wrong with you?"
After listening to Zhichun's words, Xiao Jun and Tao Gongzi looked at Mengxi together.
Seeing the two of them looking over, Mengxi's heart moved, raised his hand to his temples, and said softly:
"Second master, I think it's been out for a long time, and the concubine feels dizzy"
"Xi'er is tired?"
"The concubine wants to retire first, please forgive the second master and Tao Gongzi"
After Mengxi finished speaking, she gave a slight blessing to the two of them, and saw that Xiao Jun was looking at her, and without waiting for him to nod, she helped Zhiqiu and walked slowly towards the door, she was really worried that the two would not let her go.
Xiao Jun looked at Mengxi worriedly, it had been a long time since he came out.
I didn't want to see Li Zhan, but after listening to Tao Gongzi's words, Xiao Jun was thinking about how to shirk it, and seeing Mengxi like this, he hurriedly arched his hand towards Tao Gongzi and said:
"Don't hide it from the virtuous brother. Mrs. has recovered from a long illness, her physique is still weak, and she has been in this plate for a long time, thinking that she has long been physically exhausted, and her virtuous brother is gracious, and she has received it for her brother's heart. β
Listening to Xiao Jun's words, Tao Gongzi was disappointed, looked at Mengxi's back, he was shocked at the first sight of her, and saw that her talking talent was all upper-class, he had already admired her, seeing her like this, he held back the words that he wanted to blame Xiao Jun for being heavy and light, and nodded helplessly:
"Let go of Brother Xiao for the time being, he and I will be drunk and rest"
"Good!"
Xiao Jun said hello, turned around and followed Mengxi's footsteps to climb, climb, and chase after him, and Tao Gongzi also sent him out.
Supporting Zhiqiu, the three of Mengxi's master and servant went out, and saw from a distance that Xiao Xia had prepared a carriage waiting on the opposite side of the road, walked down the steps slowly, and slowly walked towards the carriage.
Suddenly, I felt Zhiqiu's hand tighten, and called softly:
"Second grandma, Li Gongzi is here, let's ......"
Zhiqiu said, his face was a little pale. Looking along Zhiqiu's eyes, I saw Li Zan flying in front of the painting hall, stopped on the side of the road, flew off the horse, handed the reins to the little guy next to him, straightened his clothes and hats, and walked over.
Mengxi gently patted Zhiqiu's hand, signaled her to be calm, straightened up, helped Zhiqiu, and continued to walk towards the carriage in the direction of Li Zhan.
When he was about to pass by Li Zhan's side, he suddenly saw him arch his hand, and was shocked to learn that the autumn soul was flying out of the sky. was about to answer, but heard Li Zan say:
"Brother Xiao, it's been a long time, it's better to meet by chance!"
Seeing Li Zan greeting the second master who came out, Zhiqiu pressed his left hand to his chest and let out a dark breath, and the master and servant slowly passed by Li Zhan. Behind him, the second master's greetings came:
"Brother Li Xian, long time no see......"
I met Xiao Jun. Li Zan suddenly realized that the person who had just passed by had a familiar feeling, and when he looked back, he saw that Mengxi and Zhiqiu had boarded the carriage, and the curtain was slowly falling.
Seeing Li Zan looking at Mengxi's carriage inexplicably, Xiao Jun inexplicably felt annoyed, opened his mouth to stop him, exchanged a few more words with Tao Gongzi and the three of them, and walked towards the carriage.
The car started slowly, and Zhiqiu covered his chest and said:
"I'm scared to death of the slave!"
As the carriage started, Zhiqiu lifted the corner of the curtain, Mengxi looked out, but saw that the second master was sitting on a horse and said goodbye to Li Zan and the two, Li Zan was looking thoughtfully at the carriage slowly leaving.
The second master rode a horse on the side of the carriage, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the front window.
"Second Grandma ......"
Seeing Li Zan like this, Zhiqiu called the second grandmother worriedly.
"The second grandmother and Zhiqiu know this person, by the way, how could the second grandmother worship the prince?"
Mengxi put her hand to her lips, shook her head at her, and signaled that she would talk later, and the two maids closed their mouths in amusement.
The carriage left Jingyun Temple, and Mengxi saw that Zhiqiu and Zhichun were still sitting there with a nervous face, remembering the matter of drawing lots, and asked casually:
"By the way, I've been shopping for a long time, and I forgot to ask you, how is the signing? Good no good? β
After listening to the words of the second grandmother, Zhichun became excited and said:
The second grandmother didn't say. I really forgot, the slave and maid won the lottery, saying that as long as they keep the old way, they will be safe, and everything will be auspicious as long as they wait for the opportunity."
Mengxi frowned when she heard this, how could it be the same as her signature, it was all "wait", it wouldn't be the same as fooling people! Thinking like this, he was speechless.
Zhiqiu was still in the fright just now, and he didn't come back to his senses, how could he have anything to do with Zhichun's words.
Seeing that the two were silent, Zhichun pouted, and said unwillingly:
"Zhiqiu drew the lottery, much better than the slave maid"
"By the way, how to solve the sentence 'Illness is a miracle medicine is health'?"
"The master said that Zhiqiu's signature is a dream of a hundred flowers, the image of the auspicious celebration of the door, the last sentence means, everything meets the nobles, the second grandmother, the slave maid thinks that this sign is quite accurate, Zhiqiu's family is unlucky, forced to sell themselves as slaves, since the second grandmother, everything is fine"
Zhiqiu listened to Zhichun's words. He nodded too.
"The slave also thinks that this sign spirit, now the slave's father and brother are living very well, thanks to the second grandmother, the slave's father often said, grandma's great kindness, our Li family is unforgettable, and the next life to be a cow and a horse will be repaid. By the way, how to solve the second grandmother's signature? β
"I also drew the lottery, which is similar to Zhichun's, and the master warned me not to rush everything. It's time to do it."
"Then what does Master Jingyun mean that we don't have to leave the Xiao Mansion in a hurry?"
Zhichun said. Mengxi gave her a blank look:
"How did the master know that we were leaving the Xiao Mansion, who said that this is the case?"
"Didn't Grandma draw lots for this matter?"
Mengxi was stunned, she really couldn't tell what she was drawing the lot for, and she pondered for a while.
Speaking of Xiao Mansion, the relaxed mood of the three of them became heavy again, and the car fell silent for a while, only the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone road, and the occasional shout of the coachman.
In silence, the carriage stopped, Zhiqiu gently lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, it turned out that he had unconsciously returned to the Xiao Mansion, and had entered the Hanging Flower Gate, the second master had already dismounted, and was talking to Baozhu about something?
Seeing that the second master looked back at the carriage, Zhiqiu casually lowered the curtain of the carriage, and after a while, he heard Xiao Xia come to the front of the carriage and replied through the curtain:
"Back to the second grandmother, the eldest lady has something to pass on to the second master to go to the Heart Garden, and the second master instructed the slave to send the second grandmother back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard first"
The three people in the car looked at each other a few times, Zhiqiu and Zhichun's faces were flushed, and they were just about to speak, Mengxi put his hand to his lips, signaled them to shut up, and said outside the car:
"Got it, let's go."
As Mengxi's voice fell, the coachman shouted, and the carriage started slowly, all the way back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
Mengxi sat on the soft foot in prostration, and was really tired, reached out to take the tea presented by Zhixia, and took a sip, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, tossed all morning, and was really hungry, and was about to order the rice, when he heard Zhichun say:
"This girl is getting more and more unpleasant. How can there be a little bit of everyone's beautiful reserve, the second grandmother hasn't ...... yet, and before she can do anything, she deceived the door and robbed the second master in front of a slave. β
Zhichun wanted to say that the second grandmother hadn't gotten out of the hall yet, and the show girl had deceived her, but she was taboo in her heart, so she changed her mouth and held back all the way, and now she finally couldn't help complaining, and Zhiqiu also agreed:
"That is, the second grandmother and the second master are incense together, the second master should have sent it back to you, if you want to invite it, you should also go to Xiao Xiangyuan to invite it, and it is not a big deal for a dead mother, how can there be on the second door, in front of so many slaves, so that the second grandmother is so undignified. What's the difference between this and a roadblock! Let the old lady comment, is there any reason for this?
The second grandmother and the second grandmother were incense, and the relationship was unexpectedly eased, which made Zhichun happy all the way, she always thought that the second grandmother and the second grandfather were young and vigorous, and no one refused to bow their heads, so they were so stiff, and now they have a good start, and they will slowly get better, who knows, just after entering the Xiao Mansion, the second master was called by the eldest wife.
said that there was something, and the ghost knew what was going on, and he did such a thing because of his wife's identity as a housewife!
It was like a scoop of cold water poured on the head, which made Zhichun's newly warmed heart cold again, and said secretly, not to mention the woman in the yard of the second master, Miss Guangxiu is so tormented, don't think that the second grandmother and the second master can be reconciled in this life!
"There are a lot of people in this house, and there will be no nonsense in the future, the second master was passed on by the eldest wife, filial piety is the first, this matter can't be stopped, the minions in one place are all looking at it, making trouble, we will only be more shameless!"
Mengxi didn't take this seriously at all, and after listening to the complaints of the two, although she knew that she was kind, she was also afraid that the two would become enemies against Xiu'er, and they would be open-mouthed, and disaster would come out of their mouths.
With her situation in Xiao Mansion, if these two girls get into trouble, she won't be able to protect them if they can't protect them, so she stopped the two of them seriously.
Zhichun Zhiqiu saw that the second grandmother's face was solemn, although she was uneven, she didn't dare to say anything, and the two of them hurriedly whispered:
"The slave knows"
Seeing the two maids standing there silently, Mengxi also knew that what she had just said was heavy, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart, thinking of the matter in the medicine hall, she changed the topic and said:
"By the way, listening to the conversation between Tao Gongzi and the second master today, I found that Yichun Hall has an extraordinary reputation in this Pingyang City, and it has attracted the attention of the second master?"
"Of course, the slave maid heard from my brother that our Yichun Hall has the support of the prince behind us, and the pills exclusively prepared by the second grandmother, it seems to have become the largest medicine hall in Pingcheng, even those high-ranking officials and nobles often go to ask the slave and maid's brother."
Hearing the second grandmother mention Yichun Hall, Zhiqiu suddenly came to his senses, forgot what happened just now, and said excitedly.
Seeing Zhiqiu mention the prince, Mengxi glanced at Zhichun, afraid that this girl would be disgusted, so she simply told her about her marriage with the prince, and finally sighed and said:
"As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and it's good that this Yichun Hall is famous, but the tree is big, I'm afraid it won't be a good place to live in the future?"
"Second grandma!"
Listening to the words of the second grandmother, Zhiqiu screamed, she was really afraid that the second grandmother would close Yichun Hall because of this, it was the hard work of her brother and fatherγ.γ
