Chapter 289: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
"Miss Table, the little one is also worried about your safety, I heard that the old mansion in the county seat was sold, I thought you hurried over to make sure Miss Table's safety."
This steward Li with gray temples knows how to speak very well, and he says half and leaves half.
Ripple had already sat down, but he didn't mean to let this Steward Li sit down, he held a handkerchief in his hand, and said with red eyes:
"I asked the housekeeper to sell the old house in the county seat, and as soon as my father died, there were rumors in the city that my father left me a family property, and I was a twelve-year-old girl, and I was frightened to finish my father's funeral, so I could only hide in the Zhuangzi to live.
If there really is so much money in the family, even one ginseng plant a day, it can also hang my father's life, why would my father leave me early?
I also sent someone to report the funeral to the Li Mansion in the capital, thinking that my uncle could come to support me, but it has been three months since my father's funeral was completed, and you are the only one who comes to the door. ”
After speaking, he began to wipe his tears with a handkerchief.
When Steward Li heard this, his face changed, and he immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
"Little damn it, I didn't see Miss Cousin, I don't know if you're okay, you have no sense of proportion, you make Miss Cousin sad, and you will be punished when you go back.
Miss Cousin wronged the master, and when she learned that your father had died, the master sent the step-grandfather and young master to bring people to Jiangnan for the funeral."
"Really?"
Ripple stopped his tears, asked in surprise, and then frowned and said:
"What about others? Why didn't I see it? ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Steward Wu.
"Miss, if the young master comes to the funeral, how dare I hide it? Besides, the young lady is in the mourning hall, and you have seen all the people who mourn. ”
"Yes! I didn't see my cousin. ”
Ripple threw the question at Steward Li again.
"This is also the reason why I came this time, the young master disappeared on the way to the funeral here, and we have already reported to the official."
"And such a thing?"
Ripple pretended to be surprised and opened his mouth slightly, and then said with some suspicion:
"Are you telling the truth? Isn't that coaxing me? Did my cousin go somewhere else? ”
Steward Li immediately cursed and swore that what he said was true, but unfortunately both Ripple and Steward Wu were skeptical.
Ripple didn't want to listen to Steward Li continue to talk nonsense, so she coughed directly, Luo Ying raised her eyebrows, and said with some displeasure:
"Steward Li, you also saw my young lady, she was already sick, and my young lady who was still tired came out in person, what if the wind evil worsened?"
"It's mine, it's not."
Steward Li can only say that.
"Luo Ying, help me go back and rest!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Ripple waved his hand to Steward Li, and was helped away by the two maids, leaving Steward Wu and Steward Li staring at each other.
Steward Li is also self-aware, and people obviously don't want to see him, and he doesn't even mention staying overnight, so he can only take the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
I wanted to inquire with the people in Zhuangzi, but although these people were very respectful to him, they didn't ask anything useful, only said that Miss Wu was kind and treated them very well, etc.
Back in his boudoir, Ripple immediately returned to his original appearance, and Min Min, who was following on the side, asked curiously:
"Miss, why are you so polite to that Steward Li?"
"He represents the Li family in the capital, although the Li family is a declining family in the capital, but for the small county town in the south of the Yangtze River, they still have some effect, and they will deter some small children, although the young lady doesn't want to get too close to them, but it is far from the point of tearing her face."
Luo Ying patiently explained.
"Luo Ying is right, after the three-year filial piety period is over, maybe they will come to take me into the Li Mansion in the capital."
Ripple wiped the white powder off his lips and said with a smile.
"If you know that the other party has bad intentions, why do you want to go?"
Zhou Minmin frowned and asked.
"Your young lady and I will be in time in three years, this is something that needs to be handled by the elders, just to leave here justifiably, and take you to the capital to see the mayor when the time comes."
Ripple said with a smile.
Luo Ying shook her head, but she also knew that her young lady knew it, so she didn't say much.
When Steward Li came back the next day, Steward Wu's face was long, and before the other party could speak, he preemptively said:
"Steward Li, if you have anything to say, yesterday you insisted on seeing Miss, and Miss dragged her sick body to see you, but she suffered from the wind, and this morning she had a fever again."
Steward Li had a black line on his head, so he had to pretend to be concerned and asked:
"But you asked the doctor to come and see it?"
"I invited it early in the morning, Miss just drank the medicine to reduce fever and calm the nerves and fell asleep, and now it is inconvenient to disturb."
Steward Wu said lightly.
"That's good, it's nothing, on behalf of the Li Mansion, I invite the young lady to live in the capital, the province is lonely here, and it is still remembered."
"It's not necessary, Miss said that this place is close to the lord and the lady, and she can go to the grave at any time, besides, it's not appropriate to keep filial piety by the side of relatives!"
Steward Li knew that this was a proposal that was rejected, so he didn't bother anymore, he came this time mainly to find the young master, so he left after a while.
Steward Li left, Zhuangzi returned to his former calm, and Ripple was not idle for a moment while learning martial arts, but also taking care of the study of other skills.
Wen Lu is more and more energetic, she found that her own young lady is too powerful, she only teaches the sword move once, the other party can remember, and when she teaches it a second time, the young lady can already draw it according to the cat and the tiger, although there is no internal force blessing, but just looking at the sword move is still very bluffing.
Min Min taught her own young lady to learn boxing, and she also encountered the same situation, she once suspected that Miss Ripple's boxing was the authentic Vajra Demon Fist, except that the strength was a little worse.
Of course, this is the reason why Ripple has reservations, and she won't let people know all of her hole cards.
In the second month of moving to Zhuangzi, she had already used the spiritual essence of the space to attract qi into the body, and she originally had the attitude of giving it a try, after all, this was not the cultivation realm, but to deal with the evil qi that came out of nowhere, she felt that she still had to have a certain amount of restraint.
After inducing qi into her body, Ripple felt the suppression of Heavenly Dao, but it seemed to be open to her.
"Nineteen, the Heavenly Dao here allows me to cultivate the truth."
"This is the agreement that this Temporal Authority has reached with this Heavenly Dao, we will send someone to eliminate the threat that enters this interface through the spatial gap, and he will turn a blind eye and allow you to have the matching strength.
It's like if you enter the ancient interface, but the enemy has guns and ammunition, in order to destroy this enemy, you also need matching weapons, but in order not to disturb the whole interface, you can only have weapons that are beyond the development of the plane. ”
Shi Jiu explained it very clearly.
"Got it!"
Now that she has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, she has cultivated with all her heart, and after three years, she successfully cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining, but there was no Thunder Tribulation to help her break through the foundation building period.
At this time, the person sent by the Li family in the capital to pick her up also arrived at the villa.
