Volume 5 Good and Well Path Absolute Dust 4, Uninvited Guest 4

After sending the pickers away, Xia Xiaoman urged the cherry soup to come up to the kitchen, which was also the previous words.

After saluting in Jicui Pavilion, and then sitting down in Liuyu Pavilion, she served two bowls of soup, one bowl of Nian Nuo, and one bowl of Ji Lingshu, who was blushing from eating wine.

Ji Lingshu took it and smiled sweetly, and said thank you in his mouth, but his mind moved to Lian Shi. She was excited when she talked about poetry, and now the poems are more and more addicted, and when she sees that there are people who can't think of good words, she can't wait to go for others, and from time to time she chatters with others, and today she will use up the rhyme of "Seven Yangs" before dispersing. Sitting beside her, Nian Nuo saw this scene, and he couldn't help but smile.

Xia Xiaoman looked at the little girl who was smiling like a flower, and sighed slightly in her heart, such a spiritual Ji Lingshu, doesn't the eldest sister like it? There is absolutely no such thing, it can be seen from the eyes of the eldest sister looking at this girl, it is completely different from Nian Liang's love house and Wu, she likes it from the bottom of her heart.

She remembered that the second lady had said that when she looked at Ji Lingshu, she remembered her daughter when she was young, and it seems that there is a similarity between Ji Lingshu and Nian Xu. Love you like yourself? She shook her head in her heart, maybe it was a more complicated emotion, but she liked it so much, and she was not ready to let Ji Lingshu become the granddaughter-in-law of the old family, and she still had this blind date banquet in the end.

Be...... Portal's view? The old lady thinks that Ji Lingshu is only worthy of being given to her grandson, and Nian Nuo also thinks so? If that's the case, then it's useless to think about it, she can't throw the little girl on the Nian Yu bed to do this. The top priority is......

She still turned her head, as if unintentionally, but carefully observed the woman in the banquet. Sifted it first. The portal was put in the first place, the merchant women were excluded, and the concubine women were excluded, and then the remaining top-notch ones were selected as research objects, observing their dress, speech and behavior, and secretly remembering the food they ate the most, and speculating on their preferences. I'm going to sort out the information as soon as I get back.

It is impossible to run away at this moment, and the case of Nian Shoutang is still hanging. She ran away, probably turning around and becoming a wanted criminal. Fugitives die faster than fugitive concubines.

Anyway, according to the rules, even if you decide who to marry today, or even this month, you can make a small decision, then it will be half a year later at the earliest. She still has time...... Besides, there is no rule that a new grandmother will immediately kill the side room as soon as she passes through the door. If you want to be famous, you have to pretend to be shameful for three months.

In any case, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and information is the foundation of everything.

When Xia Xiaoman's observation and research was in full swing, he saw Xiao Wei's sister-in-law, who was dispatching help over there, coming here. Xiao Wei's sister-in-law first blessed her body and greeted Nian Nuo Ji Lingshu, and then said in Xia Xiaoman's ear: "Second grandma, there is a Master Feng and Mrs. Feng in our house, and Master Feng went to the master's study to talk, because Mrs. Feng wants to see grandma." The grandfather asked the second grandmother to accompany Mrs. Feng in the Lilian Hall. ”

Feng? Xia Xiaoman glanced at the Miss Feng family sitting on the seat diagonally opposite, and frowned slightly, Mrs. Feng was also sitting in Jicui Pavilion, and the surname Feng in Meizhou City was the only one......

She owed herself and confessed, and went out of the courtyard with Xiao Wei's sister-in-law and walked away. It was Lian Zhu who asked: "Surname Feng?" Is it an acquaintance? Out-of-town? Did you see that? How old is that lady? How...... You're here in person? ”

Why do you want to see her? I want to see why she hasn't come to the Ji Mansion yet, but there is still a banquet. suddenly remembered that the woman, whose real name is Shu Yunru, whose stage name is Yan Ruyu, and her surname is not reliable, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law said: "It's not familiar. Xu is from other places, Mrs. Feng has a northwest accent, and Master Feng's voice is like our Fuze. The two of them are afraid that they are over half a hundred, and their hair is gray, but they are still very tough when they look at their bodies. ”

Xia Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he didn't know him. Still, the Northwest? It seems that the old man is in the northwest......

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law continued: "I'm afraid that the little maid won't understand the words. They couldn't tell what they were asking. made the second grandmother anxious, so she came by herself. ”

Xia Xiaoman smiled and took Xiao Wei's sister-in-law's hand. said: "It's still Sister-in-law Wei's heart. I've always said that, thanks to you for helping me! "Nowadays, there are a few people who are reliable, and if you can do things that you can trust, it is Xiaowei's sister-in-law.

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law smiled: "Where did the second grandmother say!" After speaking, she crossed the private alley and arrived at the Nian Mansion, she smiled slightly, hesitated, and said softly: "Second grandma, although you are busy, you should also take care of your own body...... Why don't we go to the kitchen for a bite to eat? ”

Xia Xiaoman was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's still Sister-in-law Wei who is worried about me!" You don't have to eat, you know I'm the most hungry, where can I be hungry? Fang just ate at the banquet. ”

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law paused, sighed, full of smiles, and said in a low voice: "Why don't I worry!" Fang Cai Ye came back from the Ji Mansion toast, and when the fourth master of Qia Dou came, the master asked me to send someone to pass the word, and at the end I listened to the master recite a sentence by himself, "I didn't eat much snack in my head, and I don't know how long I have stood for a while. Isn't this just the grandfather who went over and looked at the second grandmother standing, worried. ”

Belch...... Xia Xiaoman clicked his eyes, and he didn't know what lines to use. , Nian Liang really thinks so, and he won't mutter.

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law saw that she was stunned, struck while the iron was hot, supported her arm, and said in a low voice: "It can be seen that the second grandmother is still attentive, and the second grandmother should also be more attentive." Didn't the second grandmother Bai Yan worship Gao Yu and choose a child? This worship of Gao Zhen is the most effective......"

Sure enough, again...... Xia Xiaoman glanced at her helplessly, it was a child again. The female boss entered the door in a blink of an eye, at this time, she was looking for death if she had a child, counting the time, did she want to run away with a big belly? Or is it quite a big belly to deal with the female boss?! At that time, it will be easier for the female boss to ask her to die, and if she says anything else, she can tripped her and died.

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law was about to say more, but she saw a little maid running over there in a hurry, saluted Xia Xiaoman, and said to Xiao Wei's sister-in-law: "Xiao Wei's sister-in-law, there are a few masters in front who are drunk." I missed a stack of plates, cut my hands, and Steward Xiao Wei asked you to get medicine, and asked Kaiku to take some more dishes out for preparation. ”

Xia Xiaoman frowned and asked, "How did you fight?" Fight? Who hurts? "Wouldn't it, the feast of bloodshed can be turned into a feast of blood? Why is it so unreliable?

The little maid looked bitter and said, "Go back to the second grandmother." The slave and the maid really don't know that the slave and the maid are not waiting for the place. It was Xiao Wei's housekeeper who called the slave maid to pass the word. ”

"I can't go over, you can go and see. Xia Xiaoman hurriedly said to Xiao Wei's sister-in-law: "The eldest aunt has just gone back, the sixth master will meet guests in the study at this time, Uncle Ji is not a person who can preside over the overall situation, there is really a distinguished guest who is drunk, and the two Wei stewards are probably not easy to speak." In this way, if you can't do it, please ask Master Wang San to suppress one or two first. "Sister-in-law Xiao Wei is going to go. She grabbed her sleeve again, and she lowered her voice again: "Ask more people to come over, watch a little, don't ask anyone to take advantage of the chaos to make moths, especially ...... The ...... surnamed Dou"

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law nodded and hurriedly went.

Xia Xiaoman looked back at Cardamom - Fennel was left on the Ji family seat to support, and only Cardamom was waiting by his side, and he said in his heart that this baby was really not an ordinary bad luck. Last time, the psychological disorder was not good, I thought that it would be lively these days, so that she was busy chattering and enriching her heart, so that she could get rid of the shadows as soon as possible, but there is such a thing here, don't see any blood and horror, I am afraid that it will be more serious once or twice.

Xia Xiaoman beckoned Cardamom to come to his side. He took her little hand in his hand to reassure her, and then instead of taking a shortcut near the Liuyu Pavilion, he turned a corner and walked through the small garden to the Lilian Hall.

Along the way, the birds and flowers were not appreciated, Xia Xiao was full of only pondering the information of the prospective female boss in the Liuyu Pavilion, and when she walked along a flower barrier, she suddenly vaguely heard a sentence: "What are you doing?" Lao Tzu ......" The voice was quite loud and annoyed, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted, and another voice was low, cold and short. But I can't hear it clearly because of the distance.

She smacked her head. Like an electric overpower, he immediately paused. Holding Cardamom's hand couldn't help but tighten, Cardamom was stunned, and just about to ask, she hurriedly made a silent movement.

She began to beat faster, and looked around, but there was no one, it was over there, what was going on there, and her mind was confused for a moment, and all that was left was the typical southern accent.

…… The robbers spoke with an accent that day.

Be calm, be calm.

She looked at Cardamom who was nervous, and barely squeezed out a smile, wanting to comfort in a low voice, but she didn't dare to say anything, would that bandit be like the legendary martial arts master, listen to all directions, and any slight movement could not escape their ears.

No, it won't. There are two large flower ponds over there, and this movement is far away, and it is still too late to run. Which way can you run? Not...... Where does the sound come from?

She inhaled deeply, stabilized her mind, and listened attentively, but there was no sound, and her heart became more and more bottomless. She didn't know if she had been discovered, she didn't know if those people were sneaking towards the flower barrier like killers, and she didn't know if a sharp knife would pass through behind the flower barrier in the next moment......

No, she shook her head and scolded herself, don't think about horror movies, it's important to get out of the garden quickly, and then ...... Shouting people.

It's a shame that Yashan Villa sent fifteen men,—— although maybe those people in front of the martial arts masters are like radish and cabbage, but but, more people are better than fewer people, and there are many guests today, and there should be someone who can do kung fu in the long follower, and it would be best to have bodyguards......

For a moment, the map was clear in her mind. Go to the rockery, go around there, and then there are a few guest rooms in the east corner, which are actually used for the guests to go to the bathroom, and there should be a small servant on duty there, and two people were assigned at that time.

She patted the cardamom soothingly, silenced her again, took the little hands, and walked all the way to the rockery quickly and lightly, not daring to turn her head back.

Someone will do. It's easy to have someone. Originally, there was a banquet today, and most of the manpower was arranged on the kitchen table, not to mention that there was an accident just now, and they must have gone over there......

Something happened just now......

She suddenly became clear, and couldn't help frowning, just now, it can't be these two robbers who mixed in to make trouble, right? Dou Xuyuan? …… Dong Lei?!

Her feet are getting faster and faster, and her brain is spinning faster and faster, what is this called? What exactly is Dou Xuyuan going to do? Demonstrate?! He didn't dare to commit a crime, could he run away if he committed a crime? How many "VIPs" today! Can't. He shouldn't dare ......

She was thinking about it when she suddenly felt cardamom tugging at her. "How?" She asked, tilting her head. But he heard......

“…… Xiaoman. ”

*

The sky is above, at this time, the first thing she Xia Xiaoman doesn't want to see is the bandits, and the second one who doesn't want to see the ground is you Yao Geng!!

Looking at Yao Geng, who stood up with the rockery, Xia Xiaoman wanted to cry without tears. What a life this TMD?

But...... It's better to run into Yao Geng than to run into bandits. When encountering people, the safety factor is greater.

I thought of cardamom next to me. She felt a little more steady in her heart, and barely managed to squeeze out a smile. He said, "I've seen Second Master Yao." How are you sitting here? ”

Yao Geng drank a few sips of stuffy wine at the banquet, and was led by the young man of the Nian family to relieve his hands, and when he walked into the garden, his stomach suddenly stirred, and all the wine and food vomited out. The little guy wanted to help him go to the guest room, but he was bored, so he just chose a flat stone with the rockery over there and sat on the wind to sober up. The little servant did as he was told, and then ran to pour him tea.

Yao Geng sat down for a while. I almost rested, and I didn't see the little guy come back, and I was afraid of finding the wrong way when I went back, and it was not good to bump into people's homes, and I was hesitating, but I suddenly saw Xiaoman coming from there.

He thought he was drunk, and he was dazzled in a dream, and rubbed his eyes vigorously. The man got closer and closer, wasn't it Xiaoman? It's just that Xiao Man's brows are frowned, his face is not very good, and his feet are extremely fast,...... Didn't look at him. He sighed inwardly, she never looked at him. It was the little maid in the restaurant who recognized him. He also reached out and dragged her.

He stood up with the mountain rock, and called out in the end, Xiao Man......

She smiled reluctantly, and called Yao Erye.

Yao Geng closed his eyes slightly, opened them again, and smiled reluctantly, and returned the salute.

He politely said the reason, Xia Xiaoman pondered, that little guy went to get tea and asked someone to arrest him on the way to Liuyu Pavilion to pull a rack. That's why Yao Geng was hung here.

Not...... Isn't it. God didn't play tricks on her, did he give her a bodyguard? She hesitated. Can this bodyguard be used? Will it bother him? Also, will it affect her?! Once upon a time...... Hey, it's okay, she can say that she has amnesia, and she wants people to bump into the two of them all the way...... It's hard to deduct seven outs, and it's best if she is Hughed - she can't ask for it, but the biggest possibility is to dip in the pig cage......

Cardamom was on the side, and her body trembled slightly. She was already a little mentally sensitive, and she was getting more and more nervous because of her master's nervousness before, but when she saw Yao Geng at this time, she suddenly forgot the nervousness just now, and there was only another kind of fear left - the same as the master's thoughts, what if people see it. The master is dead, can she live?

Seeing the cardamom trembling, Xia Xiaoman completely misunderstood, she only followed her own train of thought at this time, and she was only afraid of bandits. The bandit is more terrifying than Yao Geng. This is her conclusion. So, she quickly made a decision, and then tried to make her smile as natural as possible, and said: "I actually left the guests here, because the subordinates are unconscious, and I will punish them when I turn around." That, now I'll take Second Master Yao out. ”

Cardamom heard that her legs were weak, but she knew the master's temperament, and she didn't dare to persuade her.

"This ......" Yao Geng hesitated, although she said politely and acted politely, but if it really caused someone to bump into them all the way, he was nothing, I was afraid that it would hurt her, "It's not appropriate, it's still small...... Well, Aunt Xia, you can go first, and then the little girl will pick me up. ”

For the first time, he changed his name to "Aunt Xia", the bitter water was full from his chest to his mouth, his face was full of bitter smiles, and he only said in a very low voice: "Also prevent the little one's mouth." ”

Xia Xiaoman also sighed in her heart, just like that, she still used him as a bodyguard to replace the dead ghost? She wanted to open her mouth and say that it was okay, I will go first, but suddenly remembered that she should leave him here in case the bandits were killed......

Ten seconds. Twenty seconds. Thirty seconds. She finally spoke, "Let's go, I'll take you out." She added, "Hurry up, I've got something to do." ”

*

She walked in front, her pleated skirt flickering, her feet were extremely fast, and she thought that there was really an urgent matter, but in the end she still led the way for him. Yao Geng paused, and saw that there was no one around, and the maid was obviously a confidant, so he called in a low voice: "Xiao Man......"

She didn't stop at all, she only picked up a voice: "...... Well? ”

He said, "You...... Always good? ”

He was behind, of course, not knowing that her expression could be described as a smoke. Xia Xiaoman is so angry, she is highly nervous here. I've been on guard against where the bandits will appear from nowhere, and he's still asking nonsense! However, it was not good to have a seizure, so he just said: "It's good." ”

Her face was clearly sad. Although he thought so, he couldn't say anything. After a while, he said what he had always wanted to say, and he said, "Xiaoman...... Autumn, the ...... of February 12"

However, she still didn't pause in her steps, and just said, "Oh......" as if it were an irrelevant person.

He sighed inwardly. Is she going to forget about the Xia family?

In fact, she didn't have her head there. Didn't react. suddenly realized, isn't Xia Qiuling the original version of her sister?! She rolled her eyes, she really couldn't get her head spinning.

That girl, tell her sister, I want to live a good life.

Now, after entering the Yao family, he is living a good life. February 12 passed the door......

Ay? She paused, and turned her head to look at him. "February 12? "It's only the third day of the third month of March today, and the newlywed Yan'er will come out to work? Is it dedication, or is it ...... "businessmen value profit over separation".

Day...... Hey......

Yao Geng saw her suddenly turn around, bluffed, and paused, seeing that her eyes were standing up, and she didn't know what she said wrong, so she opened her mouth in disdain. He closed it again and looked at her.

She sneered, finally exhaled, and said, "It's okay." When he turned around, he couldn't help but mutter, "Don't just think about business." ”

He was stunned for a moment. I didn't understand what she said at all, so I had to answer.

Out of the courtyard in silence, she walked on her own, he didn't look familiar with the surroundings, he didn't know where she came, and he didn't know where she was going. Xiao Manfang was clearly angry......

He frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "Xiaoman, I'm not ...... Well, it's actually a business with the south this time. From here, you have to take a sea boat. ...... who came to Meizhou"

Xia Xiaoman raised his eyebrows and pulled the corners of his mouth. This is not to explain why the new daughter-in-law was abandoned at home, but to explain that he did not come to Meizhou on purpose? On that day in Gyeonggi Taipingdu, today on the bank of the Dingwu River, he can do "not recognize", and he is considered to be thinking about her and refusing to come out.

Well, she won't have to put on a shelf here.

She let out a sigh of relief, wanting to loosen up the topic, and said, "Going on a sea boat? I thought you were the one who led the horse on the horse, and the horses followed suit. She had seen cloud pigs, cattle and sheep fence trucks before, but she really couldn't think of how to transport these domestic animals in ancient times, and the carriages pulled the horses...... It sounded like a tongue twister, walking on the sea boat, she somehow remembered that the black slave ship was coming, and said casually: "Where is this going?" Crossing the ocean. ”

So instead of being relaxed, the topic became more solemn. He repented and squeaked, "It's not anywhere." ”

Xia Xiaoman heard that he was not quite right, and he also realized that he had said the wrong thing, it was a matter of business secrets, she actually asked people about this, is it an idiot! She looked back and smiled apologetically, "Hey, I'll just ask." ”

He smiled reluctantly, steadied himself, and said, "...... It's not a near place either. "I didn't say it.

Without any more words, she walked out of the middle road, and walked to the left through the hall to the Lilian Hall, and she was safe. Xia Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, looked at a small guy standing on the door of the hall, and called him over, saying, "This master came out with his hands and got lost, and he happened to meet me." Go and lead him to the Wandering Pavilion to feast. ”

The little guy lowered his hand and asked Yao Geng again.

In front of the little girl, Yao Geng didn't dare to look at her hard, but he couldn't help but look at her, and finally endured it, hugged his fists and saluted: "Thank you......"

Xia Xiaoman also took a serious salute, but he thanked him for the free bodyguard escort in his heart, and said politely: "Don't dare to be, Second Master Yao is polite." ”

"Aunt Xia" he refused to call again, but "Second Master Yao" she called naturally, polite and distant.

Yao Geng smiled self-deprecatingly, straightened up, looked at her carefully, and finally said, "Take care of yourself......"

She smiled, still in the same tone, and replied, "Second Master Yao, take care." ”

Yao Geng smiled, nodded, turned around and followed the little guy. Five steps, ten steps, he clenched his fists slightly, and finally turned his head.

But she had already gone through the hall.

The empty mecca does not even have a corner of clothes.

*

Ripple Hall.

As soon as Xia Xiaoman entered the door, he saw a lady standing on the guest chair, looking more than fifty years old, if sixty is afraid of some people, the hair is already gray, the skin is loose and has deep lines, but the eyes are bright, and the figure is well maintained, sure enough, it is Xiao Wei's sister-in-law who said that the body is tough.

"Mrs. Feng?" Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "The banquet is busy over there, it's late, let the lady wait for a long time, please forgive me." ”

"It was the old man who took the liberty to visit and disturbed the second grandmother, and asked the second grandmother to forgive me. Mrs. Feng seemed to be laughing, but she couldn't tell that she did have a northern accent, hearty and loud.

Madame Feng was polite. Hurry up, please take a seat! Xia Xiaoman hurriedly gave up his seat and asked the little maid to bring tea up. After sitting down, he smiled and asked, "How ...... is Mrs. Feng here?" ”

Mrs. Feng turned her head, and a thin maid behind her came up with a medium-sized food box, put it on the table, and left. Xia Xiaoman looked at it and wondered, seeing that Mrs. Feng didn't look at her mouth, only looked at the people in the hall, she hesitated for a moment, and then waved her hand to call the maids who stood to retreat, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Mrs. Feng got up herself, took the food box and put it on Xia Xiaoman's side, and opened the lid, which was full of nuts like quinques. She rolled up her sleeves, Xia Xiao's eyes were sharp, and she saw that the skin on her arms was fair and firm, which did not match the folds on her hands at all, and suddenly became alert, and her first reaction was to jump up from the chair and stand aside, her eyes wandering between Mrs. Feng and the door, panting slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

"The second grandmother is smart. Mrs. Feng smiled in her voice, but there was still no smile on her face, and her hand turned over, revealing a few round and smooth beads in the pile of nuts, and she said: "But I have no malicious intentions, and I ask the second grandmother to be lenient." My grandson and I are here to thank the second grandmother and the sixth master for saving their lives. ”
