Chapter 257: Find Someone
Concubine Rong saw her go away, so she said helplessly, "Dad, don't mention this matter again in the future, I asked Xiaojiu, she doesn't want to marry into the Hou Mansion, you say so much, it will only make both ends embarrassed." ”
Mrs. Lu said, "She still doesn't want to even look down on Cheng'er, what kind of one else does she want to find?"
No matter how powerful it is, she is a slave after all, and it is not a good thing that her heart is too high.
Concubine Rong sighed, "Radish and cabbage have their own loves, and we can't be strong."
Mrs. Lu "That's it, the twisted melon is not sweet"
Lu Hou's eyes widened, and he interrupted her words, "What twisted melons are not sweet, not twisted, not even sweet melons"
Concubine Rong
Su Xiaojiu didn't dare to approach the tent anyway.
Walking around aimlessly outside, the dumplings had already been transported by Xiao Jing to the bamboo house in the middle of the lake, and they were making a lot of fun, and they didn't need her for a while.
Xiao Jing was still standing upright on the roof, his eyes glancing over to this side intentionally or unintentionally, remembering what he had just said in front of his mother, Su Xiaojiu was inexplicably weak, so he had to pretend not to see it, turned around and went to the temporary small kitchen next to him to make some tea, and sent it to Aunt Gu.
Because the length of the bamboo is different, in order to make a bamboo raft, it is necessary to take parts of about the same thickness, so there are a few soldiers who are responsible for sawing bamboo next to them, and it is the people who went to cut bamboo together last night.
Su Xiaojiu served them hot tea and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the weather is cold, let's drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body first"
As the person in charge, her grade among the palace maids is not low, but she personally sent tea, everyone felt flattered, and thanked them for a while, Su Xiaojiu returned the salute one by one, walked to the bamboo raft, and saw that most of it had been tied, and the progress was really not slow.
Although they are all from the village, the hands of several aunts are very skillful, and the bamboo raft tied out is neat and sturdy, and there is no need to worry about safety at all, Su Xiaojiu is extremely satisfied, and he said that he will have a hearty lunch for a while, so that the aunts can eat well.
One of the aunts saw Su Xiaojiu coming, got up and pointed to the sawn bamboos next to him and said, "Girl, these bamboos are sawn down, it's a pity to throw them away, it's better to make them into tables and stools and put them on the raft, and they can also be used for the nobles to rest, what do you think?"
The farmer can't see that things are wasted, those bamboos are good, so it's really a waste to throw them away, it's better to make the best use of them.
After all, the bamboo raft is not a boat, the carrying capacity is limited, they came out with big solid wood tables and chairs, all of them are bulky, if they are placed on the bamboo raft, it is indeed unsafe, hearing the idea of the aunt, Su Xiaojiu should not be, and hurriedly thanked, "Auntie is still thoughtful, this bamboo bench is much lighter than solid wood, but the process of making tables and stools is more complicated, is it easy to do?"
The aunt smiled and said, "I can't do it, but if the girl in charge of my house doesn't dislike it, I'll call him."
Su Xiaojiu looked at Aunt Gu, and Aunt Gu smiled and said, "The girl just let her go, her house is not far from here, and it will be there after a few turns, and it will be guaranteed that the nobles will not be able to use it."
"In this case, it will be troublesome for the aunt."
It's just that I used people in vain, thinking in my heart that when the meeting was over, I had to remember to give others an extra salary.
The bamboo raft was not done, and the tent couldn't go back, Su Xiaojiu was idle for a while, and he didn't know what to do, remembering that Xu Ying said yesterday that he was going to pick persimmons, or he should take advantage of this time to pick some first
When picking persimmons that day, she seemed to see a few hawthorns, and she didn't know if the fruit was still good, but she could pick some back to make sugar gourds.
So she asked Aunt Gu, "How long will it take for this bamboo raft to be ready?"
Aunt Gu looked at the remaining bamboo, asked for a moment in her heart, and replied, "If both of them are made, and then nail the bamboo stool, I am afraid that it will not be another hour." ”
That was more than two hours, enough for them to go back and forth, Su Xiaojiu thanked him, and went directly to Xu Ying, but he didn't see her shadow for a long time.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that she hasn't seen Xu Ying since Aunt Gu and the others came over just now, the terrain here is complicated, and she is not familiar with it, so don't go around and play and get lost
asked a few patrolling guards, and they all said that they didn't see her nearby, Su Xiaojiu couldn't help but be anxious, she followed herself, if something happened, how to explain to the king of Nanyang is that the mother has to take responsibility.
By the way, go and ask Xiao Jing, he stands tall and sees far away, maybe he knows.
When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say it, Xiao Jing was in the middle of the lake, if he wanted to call him, he must raise his voice, and the people around him would hear it
Especially the mother's tent is next to it, and the Hou Ye and his wife are also inside, so she should not ask for trouble.
was hesitating, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, a person from far and near, seeing that she was wandering around for a long time and her face was full of entanglement, so she asked, "Miss Su, do you need help?"
Su Xiaojiu turned around and saw that it was Lu Cheng walking towards her, she instinctively glanced at the figure in the middle of the lake, and then quietly moved a few steps to the side, and said, "No need, thank you Lu Gongzi." ”
"Miss Su doesn't need to be nervous, Brother Xiao is responsible for the safety of His Highnesses, and it's the same if you tell me anything."
"Ah, no, I'm really fine, thank you."
Noticing her movements, Lu Cheng's eyes revealed gloom, but what stinged him even more was the movement she subconsciously looked at Xiao Jing just now, the picture of the two walking side by side last night resurfaced in front of him again, Lu Cheng's heart tightened for a while, but his face said as if nothing happened, "It's okay, then let's go and get busy first." ”
As soon as Lu Cheng left, Su Xiaojiu walked to the lake and swept around a few times with her 50-year-old eyes, but she still didn't see Xu Ying, and she couldn't help but be a little anxious.
The people on the roof in the middle of the lake also noticed her, and after a few clicks, they swept over and stood beside her, asking "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Jing, have you seen Xu Ying, I haven't found her for a long time, but don't let anything happen."
"It seems to have gone with the two children in the village."
His responsibility is to be optimistic about His Highnesses, and he doesn't care about the whereabouts of Xu Ying and the others.
Su Xiaojiu was stunned, "Do you know where they are going?"
Xiao Jing pointed in a direction, "I don't know, but I went that way." ”
A Yixi
Isn't that direction where the Cloud Gate Cave is located?
Su Xiaojiu patted her head, she told Xu Ying yesterday that Yunmen Cave was destroyed by immortals, this guy shouldn't really go to verify it
No wonder they called Gu Yu and Han Lu, they must have wanted them to lead the way
I was in a hurry, and my tone was a little bad, and I couldn't help complaining to Xiao Jingdao, "You don't know how to stop it, if something happens, I have to hurry up and chase them back."
Xiao Jing didn't care about Xu Ying, but he couldn't see that she was in a hurry, so he said, "Let's go, they've been gone for a long time, and you can't catch up at all." ”
"Wait a minute, the kids are still in the middle of the lake"
