Chapter 136: A Delaying Tactic
"What the hell is so flustered?"
Hu Qinqin was originally in a very good mood, but when she saw Yahuan's panicked appearance, she felt a little disappointed.
"It's the eldest aunt who came to the house, and it's for the eldest son to ask for marriage."
The maid continued to Hu Qinqin in a panic.
"Madame, she agreed."
"You said my mother should do this family business?" Hu Qinqin was still drinking tea leisurely, but after hearing the maid's words, she hurriedly put the tea on the table and said with a surprised face.
"Does Father know about this?"
"I don't know if the master knows about this, but the lady is now agreeing with the eldest aunt about marriage."
"Miss, wait for me."
Before the maid finished speaking, Hu Qinqin gently lifted her skirt and trotted away, and the maid hurriedly chased after her.
What Hu Qinqin looks down on the most is her eldest cousin, not to mention that he has made a private lifelong agreement with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, if his mother should do this family business, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end in the future.
"Big boss, not long after you left, the second lady Pear Blossom came."
After Xu Hu heard Ergouzi's words, his face became slightly ugly, and he asked in a panic.
"Has Miss Li ever been injured?"
"Answering the words of the master, Miss Li is not injured."
After Xu Hu heard Ergouzi's words, his face looked a little better, but he was still very nervous. He glanced at Li Youran's door and whispered to Ergouzi.
"Do you know what the two of them said?"
"Big boss, I've been guarding outside, and I can't hear what is said inside." Ergouzi looked thoughtful, paused, and continued.
"I think Miss Li must be unhappy, otherwise tonight's dinner would not have been returned intact."
After Xu Hu learned that Li Youran had not eaten a drop of water at dinner, his mood was very complicated. He mistakenly thought that Li Youran was sulking after learning about Pear Blossom's identity, so he didn't think about it.
Xu Hu turned back and forth several times outside the door like a headless fly, and finally looked up at Li Youran's door, as if he had made up his mind, so he walked towards the room.
"Miss Li, in Xia Xuhu, I don't know if it's convenient to come in?"
Xu Hu knocked lightly on Li Youran's door and said in the way he thought was the most polite.
"Big boss, Miss Li has rested."
Peach Blossom gently opened the door and said to Xu Hu.
Seeing this, Xu Hu glanced into the room, and sure enough, Li was lying on the bed leisurely, looking like he had fallen asleep. Xu Hu waved his hand at Peach Blossom and motioned for her to come out.
"Peach Blossom, has Miss Li suffered a loss this afternoon?"
Xu Hu had already heard Ergouzi tell what happened this afternoon, and knew that Li Youran reached out and grabbed Pear Blossom's whip, but he was still relieved, worried that Li Youran would suffer a loss.
"The big boss, Miss Li is not angry, and she has some kung fu in her hands, and she has not suffered."
Peach Blossom shrugged her shoulders as she said and continued.
"But whether you're angry because of Rika's identity, I don't know."
"What happened to Peach Blossom's identity?"
After Xu Hu heard Taohua's words, he was stunned.
"You can't talk nonsense in front of Miss Li, this is your future cottage lady, if she misunderstands me because of this. If you don't want to be a cottage lady, it's bad. ”
Xu Hu said with a frown.
"Do you still need me to say these things about the big boss? Who here doesn't know that you haven't married a wife until now, and it's not because of Pear Blossom. ”
Peach Blossom was not afraid that Xu Hu would be angry, and continued angrily.
"If it weren't for the second lady in the middle, maybe ......"
"Maybe what?" Xu Hu said sternly to Peach Blossom.
"I don't mean that to Peach Blossom at all, and if I hear such words again in the future, I won't spare it."
Xu Hu's angry appearance was very scary, and his body exuded cold air, but Peach Blossom didn't take it to heart and snorted coldly.
"Okay, don't mention this matter again in the future, Miss Li can't make her angry."
Xu Hu thought that in the next few days, Li Youran must be with Peach Blossom a lot, he was afraid that Peach Blossom would say something unpleasant in front of Li Youran, so he hurriedly changed his smile and said to Peach Blossom.
"Erya finally found such a beautiful lady for me, if she doesn't want to marry me, wouldn't it make Erya waste of effort? Erya has the best relationship with you, you must be reluctant to make Erya sad, right? ”
"The big boss said it well, but a woman's mind is really so easy to guess."
After Peach Blossom finished speaking, she was about to leave, and turned back to Xu Hu as if she thought of something.
"Big boss, since you have the heart to marry Miss Li Weiki, I think you still have to protect her more, I'm afraid that the second miss won't give up easily."
Xu Hu nodded when he heard this.
At this time, Li Youran, who was lying in the room and pretending to sleep, also heard the movement outside the door, although it was separated by a layer of doors, but Xu Hu's angry voice clearly fell into her ears through the crack in the door.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between children and daughters in this small village, which can be described as intentional and ruthless."
Li said to herself leisurely, she stretched out her hand to look at the ring on her hand, remembered Tang Lei, I don't know if Tang Lei can find the cave where she is hiding, find this village, and rescue her.
Since Xu Hu is interested in her, Li Youran is not worried about her safety for a while.
The only thing she was worried about was that Xu Hu'an couldn't bear to want to marry her as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Li Youran suddenly remembered Pear Blossom Heart, it is better to use Pear Blossom as an excuse to delay the marriage in the future.
At this moment, Li Youran heard the sound of Peach Blossom opening the door and walking in, she hurriedly closed her eyes and continued to pretend to sleep.
"Miss Li, you better eat something, otherwise your body will be empty."
I don't know how long later, Li Youran vaguely heard the sound of peach blossoms, she opened her eyes, and sat up sleepily.
"I can't eat because I'm bored, so why don't you accompany me to go for a walk outside."
Li leisurely glanced at the food, and said to Peach Blossom with a look of no appetite.
Seeing this, Peach Blossom didn't say much, so she took Li out to breathe.
"I really didn't expect that there is such a water curtain cave in this world."
Li Youran looked at the waterfall in the cave with a surprised face, she never thought that this cave would be so big, and there was flowing water in it.
"This blessed cave is very rare, although the people in our village are isolated from the world, but they also live happily."
Peach Blossom said as she introduced the cottage to Li Youran.
"Not only are lotus roots planted in this pond, but also a lot of fish are raised."
Peach Blossom said as she pointed to a forest on the other side.
"Although there is little sunlight in the cottage, the temperature here is everything, and the soil is fertile, so there is no shortage of fruit all year round."
Li Youran looked for the direction pointed by the peach blossoms, forgetting the past, and there was really a peach forest not far away.
She looked at this cave and this peach forest with peaches, not only thought of Sun Wukong's water curtain cave, but also gave birth to a bold conjecture in her heart.
"Peach Blossom, where is the exit of the mountain race?"
The peach blossom who originally enthusiastically introduced the cottage to Li Youran, after hearing Li Youran's words, hurriedly closed his mouth and looked at Li Youran with a vigilant look.
"Miss Li, if I say I don't know, you definitely don't believe it."
I saw Peach Blossom say as she looked at the lonely look in the peach forest again.
"My mother was born in this peach grove back then, and I named me Peach Blossom."
Peach Blossom said this, sighed, and continued.
"I haven't left the cave since I was born. Not all the people in this village are qualified to go out with the head of the house to buy supplies, and only the elders and the head of the house are qualified to go out. ”
Li Youran gently patted Peach Blossom's shoulder as a sign of comfort.
She didn't continue the conversation, but her eyes lingered on the waterfall for a moment.
The secret guards sent by His Royal Highness the Second Prince have already investigated all the stockades on Wolf and Tiger Mountain, but they have not found Li Youran's figure.
At the same time, the transferred officers and soldiers were also ready to take their positions, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince ordered to start collecting the mountain.
"Wu Gongzi, I think it's better for you to wait here so as not to cause trouble."
"Tian Gongzi is too worried. I'm not like you who can only read, I'm both civil and military. ”
Wu Yong wanted to go with him to find Li Youran, but after hearing Tian Alang's words, he turned around and said.
"Tang Gongzi is much more heroic than you, but there has been no movement so far, presumably Miss Li's whereabouts are extremely difficult to find, and it is just in vain if you go, it is better to wait here, if you have orders, you can help."
Tian Alang said unhurriedly to Wu Yong.
His eyes were very deep, and he looked towards the endless Wolf and Tiger Mountain.
At this time, after Wu Yong heard Tian Alang's words, he also began to hesitate, he knew that it was just in vain to go. But waiting here, I'm a little restless.
Thinking that Li Youran's whereabouts were unknown, Wu Yong's heart seemed to be increased.
In the end, Wu Yong still gave up the idea of going to find Li Youran with him, he turned around and went back to the tent where he was temporarily settled, and wrote a letter to the National Protector Mansion.
After taking a turn in the cottage, Li Youran and Peach Blossom returned the same way, and before she could enter the corner of the room, she saw a figure flash past his room.
"Peach blossom, it's boring to go back horizontally, why don't you talk to me about the cottage."
"Miss Li, don't worry, I'm a PHS in the cottage, and there is no news that I don't know."
Peach Blossom mistakenly thought that after Li Youran went around in the cottage, she stopped thinking about leaving and wanted to stay in the cottage to live, so she volunteered to tell Li Youran about the things in the cottage.
After entering the room, Li Youran cautiously looked at all corners of the room.
But there was no trace of anything in the room being moved, and Li Youran had some doubts in his heart.
"Miss Li, the night is cold, why don't you sit on the bed, cover yourself with the quilt, and listen to me tell you slowly."
Peach Blossom said as she poured a cup of warm tea for Li Youran, and Li Youran also felt that her fingers were a little cold.
"Peach Blossom, come up with you."
Li said leisurely, and while lifting the quilt, he continued to speak to the peach blossom.
"You and I are of the same age, and we are very close to each other, so it is better to be called sisters in the future."
Peach Blossom originally wanted to refuse Li Youran's proposal, but seeing that Li Youran was so sincere, she couldn't help but feel a warm heart.
"Ah~"
Before Peach Blossom shed tears of emotion, I saw Li Youran as if she had been electrocuted, she dropped the quilt in her hand and jumped away from the bed.
"Peach blossom, there is a snake!"
Li Youran said as he hid behind Peach Blossom.
"It's brightly lit and dry, so how can there be snakes?"
As she spoke, Peach Blossom rolled up her sleeves, picked up a stick from the corner of the wall, and walked towards Li Youran's bed.
Hit the snake and hit seven inches, and the peach blossom went up to directly hold the little cauliflower snake.
"Miss Li, don't be afraid, this snake is usually under a waterfall or by a pool. I got lost today, and I ran to your room. ”
As she spoke, Peach Blossom threw the snake out of the room, and when it landed on the ground, it crawled away in a winding way towards the place where there was water.
"The serpent is innocent, but the man who brought the serpent must not be spared."
After Peach Blossom finished speaking, she left angrily, leaving Li Youran alone.
"It's quite righteous."
Li Youran looked at the back of the peach blossom leaving, and thought to himself that although this little girl was like a small bomb, she was quite righteous.
Suddenly, she had an idea to delay her time.
"Peach blossom things can be eaten indiscriminately, words can't be said indiscriminately, but the speech must be based on real evidence, why do you say that the snake in Li Youran's room was put in by us?"
Xiao Cui put her hands on her chest and said to Peach Blossom with an unconvinced look.
"Whew! With your little trick, I don't have to think about it to know it's you! ”
Peach Blossom is not weak, and after speaking, she turned her head to look at Xu Erya and continued.
"Miss, this afternoon, the two of them went to Miss Li's room, and threatened to reward Miss Li to the brothers in the cottage!"
Peach Blossom said through gritted teeth.
"Miss Li and I left the room with the front foot, and a snake was released on the back foot, and the two of them did it!"
I saw that Xu Erya didn't speak, put her hand on the big knife behind her back and swept her face, and the pear blossom on the side pulled out the whip on her back without a trace.
"Pear blossom, I'll fight with you today!"
The old accounts of new hatred and old were piled up together, and Xu Erya couldn't bear it anymore for Pear Blossom, so she rushed forward as she spoke.
The four masters and servants scuffled together like this, guarding the two dogs outside, and hurriedly called Xu Hu.
"Stop for me, is there any end?"
Xu Hu said as he struggled to separate Xu Erya and Lihua, stood between the two of them, and scolded them angrily.
"How many years, haven't you fought enough?"
"It's not good for the big boss, Miss Li has an accident!"
Just when Xu Hu instructed the two of them, the second dog hurriedly ran to say.
