Chapter Twenty-Six: Seeking Danger (Part II)
Cao Yingguan was instructed by the Cao family to go out early in the morning to invite the play, and then went to Xianyuan Nunnery to invite his sister-in-law. There were two people invited.
One is pure light, and the other is pure light, and the apprentice is called Pudu.
This is an unexpected result that Yu Qi expected. Thinking about the terrible thing, Chunguang was not arrested by the officers and soldiers in the first place? Wasn't Xianyuanan washed in blood? As the leader of the incident, how did Chunguang survive from the blood path and still be alive in Xianyuan Nunnery?
Even if she saw her in person, she might not dare to ask these questions, not to mention that she hadn't had a chance to meet them yet.
At this time, everyone sat down in the mirror flower, said the gifts, and said which guests to invite, and who came. Before he could tell Yu Qi a thorough understanding, Shou Zhongju sent someone to spread the word, saying that Miss Qi would go over to meet the guests, and the guests would give the girl a birthday greeting.
When the people sitting in Jinghua Xie heard this, they jumped up with joy, hugged the clusters, and pushed Yu Qi to Shouzhongju.
Entering the Shouzhong Curie Hall, the line along the way is full of people, compared to weekdays, today is a big faction, all of them are bright, those people standing are from the Zhuang Mansion, and some are the servants of the guests outside, all of them are a group of harmony.
Yu Qi was pushed in front, Zhuang Ying and Su Yuan followed, and Zhuang Qi and other sisters and girls followed. As soon as she crossed the door, a little girl reported: "Miss Qi and the gentlemen, the girls are here." ”
At the right time, the laughter and laughter in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their heads to look outside the curtain.
At the door curtain, I saw a few shadows cast on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a wave of people pushed me, covered their mouths and smiled to welcome them. At that moment, the children of the guests knew the girls of the Zhuangfu, and they all hurried out to greet them.
The old lady sat on the head of the main kang, and the old Fujin sat on the side, and the old Fujin sat opposite an old man, who was about the same age as the old lady, and I didn't know what to call it. When I came in, I saw the old lady asking for tea, and vaguely heard her called "White Old Lady." ”
When everyone stood in, the old lady said to Yu Qi: "Son, these distinguished guests have made a special trip to celebrate your birthday. Although you are the biggest today, you must also bow to the old nobles. ”
After the old lady finished speaking, Yu Qi knelt down in the direction of the kang, kowtowed, and turned to kowtow to the guests.
The old lady and the others couldn't stop laughing, and saw Lao Fujin say, "It's polite and polite." ”
The old lady smiled: "You can help yourself up, and the others don't have to kneel." Free of their birthdays. Then he introduced people to Yu Qi one by one. When introducing Mrs. Bai, the old lady said to Mrs. Bai: "Last time I went back to the eldest sister's birthday in Longfu, I asked this girl to go with her, but I happened to meet her uneasy, and I didn't have a chance to see the old sisters." Today, I'm going to kowtow to you first. ”
Bai Lao Niang looked at Yu Qi carefully and praised: "This girl's eyebrows look a little similar to you back then." Don't say that you recognize your kindness, I believe you when you say kisses. But because she was born with such a good appearance, the eldest girl didn't get married back then, and she didn't end up with her water! ”
Everyone laughed, it was a compliment to Lu Qi.
Bai Lao Niang's words, everyone who listened to them thought that it was the big girl Zhuang Hu.
The old lady knew very well in her heart that the "big girl" that Bai Lao Niang was referring to was Zhuang Hui, who was Yu Li's mother. The old lady just nodded, and should not answer anything. The white lady said again: "After today, should it be more than a dozen?" ”
Yu Qi replied with a red face: "Eighteen." ”
The white old lady smiled and said to the wives and the old lady: "Eighteen! It's time to point to one. ”
The old lady nodded and said, "I promise you to go back and help take a look, there is a suitable handful for you." ”
The white old lady leaned over, her eyes hooked to Lao Fujin and said, "I dare to say something big, her grandmother is here!" He hooked up to the county lord and said, "Now her mother is also here, and she wants to be a central person, and she is also their central person." You just sit and enjoy. ”
The old lady said, "This child is not as good as the children in the house." What if I didn't care about all these things in the house! She had a very hard life, and before she came in, she was stabbed for my grandson, and she almost lost her life. ”
So, everyone began to talk about family affairs, and Bai Lao Niang said that she had several grandsons in the Bai family's mansion, and they were just the right age, otherwise, the people of the Zhuang Mansion responded, and let Yu Qi give up the past to be the daughter-in-law of the Bai family. Because it was a joke, the old lady and others said it. After that, I talked about the family affairs of the girls and young masters of the Zhuang Mansion one by one, and talked about it, and finally only said the second girl and the third girl.
It's embarrassing here, one thing, Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying's faces turned red, purple and white, and they wished they could hide it in an orderly way, because the Tong Mansion and the He Mansion were both present, and the two young masters who were married were also there; Second, the mother of the two girls who were discussed was not there, and there were no serious parents to help prevent shame.
Therefore, Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying are ashamed, it's hard to be safe!
Therefore, the old lady asked, "Why hasn't the second wife come yet?" ”
Zhuang Hu replied: "Presumably my wife is not at ease, she is arranging an afternoon play!" ”
As everyone knows, the Cao family is not arranging an afternoon singing at this moment, but discussing how to drive away demons in Beifu. After Zhuang Hu replied to the old lady's words, he asked Dao Feng and Jian Qiu to go to the back yard to find the Cao family. After a while, Dao Feng and Jian Qiu came back to report to Zhuang Hu, and privately said that they hadn't seen the Cao family.
After listening, Zhuang Hu didn't report it to the old lady, and while the room was lively, she went out by herself.
When he got outside, he asked Daofeng in detail: "Talking about the second girl, why didn't my wife come!" Have you all figured it out? ”
Dao Feng said: "I looked around and asked around, but I said I didn't see it." The wife came to arrange it first, and the person who led the team came to the back, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The people down there think they're with us! There are still a lot of dishes in the kitchen, and the people there still want to ask her, but they haven't seen anyone yet. I'm in a hurry. ”
So, Zhuang Hu sighed, went to the kitchen to stare at it first, gave some advice, and then went to the theater, and sure enough, he didn't see Cao. Therefore, Zhuang Hu said: "You look at the back, I think the time is almost up." Let the people who sang the opera eat lunch and quickly prepare for the show. How long will the people in the room sit down? The old lady urged, so there was nothing to say. ”
Dao Feng and Jian Qiu replied and went their separate ways.
Zhuang Hu did not return to Shouzhongju later, but rushed to Beifu.
When I arrived outside the gate of Beifu, I happened to see Aunt Nazha and Yi Linglong coming out, presumably they were going to Shouzhongju at this moment.
Zhuang Hu couldn't be missing, and said casually in a fake voice: "What about the past?" ”
Aunt Nazha thought that Zhuang Hu was not talking to herself, so she didn't answer. Rubbing shoulders with each other, like strangers. Zhuang Hu entered the door, feeling a little uneasy, stood up slightly, and turned his head to look back. At that time, Yi Linglong also turned her head to look at Zhuang Hu. After Zhuang Hu left, Yi Linglong said to Aunt Nazha with a heavy heart: "Lady go with them first, I'll come later." ”
Aunt Nazha nodded, and continued to walk with the help of the two girls, sour plum and chili.
Yi Linglong turned around and went back to the bamboo garden. Here, there are some small stories.
Before Yi Linglong came out, the Cao family sent someone to look outside the fence bamboo garden, and he didn't know what to see, Yi Linglong couldn't pull down to ask, and felt strange and suspicious, so he asked the girl to ask. When I asked about Cao's girl, I came back and told her, "Mrs. let me come and see, did my aunt go to Miss Qi's side?" ”
When Yi Linglong heard this, she scoffed and ignored it. After waiting for a while, someone from the Cao family came. Yi Linglong felt strange, thinking that the Cao family had already known that there was a stranger hiding here, and when they left, they could come to search for them.
Yi Linglong couldn't help but be angry, and rushed out and said to Cao's girl: "Look, Miss Qi, we won't go there." ”
The girl was so frightened that she ran away, and she didn't come back.
After all, Yi Linglong said angry words, the first day I took someone else's new clothes, and the old lady invited her to sit down, how could I not go? I also want to see the pomp and circumstance. After that, she and Aunt Nazha changed into new clothes, sat for a while, and then went out. Before going out, carefully tell the white-haired ghost mother in the house to let her be honest before going out. When he went out, he went to find two big locks and locked the door of his room tightly. When the girls saw it, they were very strange, so they asked, "Why is the girl still locked up?" It's not a long way out. ”
Yi Linglong is also smart, and replied directly: "I think you also have to lock it, otherwise someone will enter your house with the intention of stuffing goblins, and then they will come and quietly search, and you will be found out one by one, waiting to die!" ”
Therefore, the people of the fence and bamboo garden locked the door of the house. After it was done, they went their separate ways, and Yi Linglong and Sour Plum Chili waited for Aunt Nazha to be discharged from the hospital.
Now that he bumped into Zhuang Hu outside the gate of Beifu, he was uneasy.
She couldn't help but think: It can't be called by the tiger woman, this big girl also has the ability to climb over the wall and uncover the tiles. If she did it, wouldn't my house be overturned?
Because of this, Yi Linglong made an excuse to Aunt Nazha that the things were left in the house and she wanted to go back to get them. Actually, it's to go back and squat to guard in case of accidents.
However, the eldest girl Zhuang Hu came by herself, not the Cao family's pager. When she came to Beifu, she didn't let the girl pass it on, and went straight to Cao's courtyard. At that time, the Cao family didn't know that Zhuang Hu was coming.
Zhuang Hu walked into Cao's courtyard, and there was no shadow of the girls walking all the way. On weekdays, if the Cao family is here, the girls are the busiest, not industrious in the courtyard, but also outside. She was hesitating whether to go in first or report to herself outside, and when she hesitated, she saw Guiyuan and Yuyuan holding a teacup coming out of it.
Because of seeing Zhuang Hu, the two girls Guiyuan and Yuyuan felt polite.
Zhuang Hu took advantage of the situation and stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Are there any guests?" ”
Gui Yuan and Yu Yuan were a little uneasy, but they still deliberately made a calm appearance.
Gui Yuan flashed: "There is no one. ”
Zhuang Hu looked at the saucer, put four cups on it, and said that there was no one, it was perfunctory. So, Zhuang Hu recognized, smiled, and took the initiative to retreat.
Gui Yuan felt rude, and beckoned Yuyuan to carry things by herself, but she quickly followed, grabbed Zhuang Hu, and said, "Big girl, I said that there is no one." Mrs. is guarding against anyone, the big girl is coming, so naturally she wants to talk to the big girl. Therefore, he pulled Zhuang Hu into the courtyard and whispered: "Isn't it Miss Qi's birthday today?" Mrs. invited someone to come for Miss Qi. ”
Zhuang Hu was surprised, Cao's and Jinghua Xie had already been at odds with each other, how could they treat Miss Qi for her birthday?
Zhuang Hu said: "Who is invited?" Is there one I don't recognize? ”
Gui Yuan smiled: "The big girl really doesn't know each other. ”
Zhuang Hu was even more puzzled and said, "Who is it?" ”
Guiyuan smiled slightly, leaning into her ear and whispering.
After hearing this, Zhuang Hu's face changed drastically, he was shocked, and he lost his voice again and again, and said, "Ouch, how can you do it?" How? As he spoke, he waved his hands and legs, and wanted to slip clean, so that he didn't touch and hear.
Gui Yuan was about to chase out, but Cao, who was originally talking inside, heard the movement and came out to see, and just happened to see it.
I saw Cao Shi raise his hand and greet Zhuang Hu loudly: "Why did the eldest girl go?" Come in and sit for a while! ”
Zhuang Hu stopped, complained bitterly in his heart, and when he turned his face, he had to pretend to smile again. Secretly, I cursed myself: what did I do here, and I asked what the hell I was doing.
After all, Zhuang Hu still listened to the greeting and walked in front of the Cao family.
