Chapter 295 Floating Half a Day
Several people gossiped for a while and then came out and went back separately.
At dawn the next day, Li Xiaoyao went out of Liushu Hutong and went to visit Mrs. Shen outside the city. Li Xiaoyao's car came out of Liushu Hutong. Su Zicheng took Dongping, Nanning and other close-body men and rode to Li's door of Liushu Hutong. It happened that Mother Zhang had not yet gone out to Wei Shuisheng's new house and rushed out. He kowtowed and saluted, and did not dare to disobey Li Xiaoyao's instructions. He replied respectfully and cautiously, "Go back to the second master, the girl went to the temple outside the city to make incense. She didn't say which temple she would go to, nor did she say when she would come back. She only ordered not to come back for lunch."
Su Zicheng's face was slightly pale. She stared at the ginkgo tree beside the shadow wall behind her back. She didn't say anything and didn't leave. Mother Zhang glanced at him quickly, thought about it for a moment, and said with a careful smile, "The girl said that it's still free these days. When Master Wei's happy event is over, the girl will have to be busy with Zhang Luo's family school. The girl said that this is the foundation of a family. Even if these two things have been done, the foundation of the family will stand. Listening to the girl's intention, it will be done before the beginning of spring next year. It's almost the end of October, and it's all a big deal..." Su Zicheng suddenly turned his head and stared at it sharply. Mother Zhang, Mother Zhang swallowed back the words in horror and stood with her hand down and did not dare to move. Su Zicheng closed his eyes slightly, took a few deep breaths, opened his eyes and looked at Mother Zhang coldly and said coldly, "This is your intention. When she comes back, send someone to Liang Wangfu to talk."
M Mother Zhang hurriedly bent her knees and agreed. Didn't wait for her to straighten up, Su Zicheng had turned around and strode across the shadow wall.
Li Xiaoyao's car walked slowly for nearly two hours before arriving at the foot of the mountain where Han Chan'an was located. The car couldn't get on. Li Xiaoyao got off the car. This place was not a bustling place. There was no sedan who did business on the mountain. Danyue and others accompanied Li Xiaoyao all the way to enjoy the scenery, but walked for a moment. Zhong arrived at the door of Mrs. Shen's courtyard.
"The cicada's temple is there." Qingcheng pointed to a white-walled and gray tile yard halfway up the mountain and smiled and said, "The nunnery is famous for its poverty, but this is a good place. It is a separate courtyard of rich and noble families in the city. Although the autumn scenery here is not as good as Xuefeng Mountain, in spring, there are flowers everywhere, which is no worse than Xuefeng Mountain." Qingcheng pointed to the courtyard hidden in the prosperous forest and gossiped. Li Xiaoyao followed her words and looked around. Danyue went to the door of the courtyard and buckled a few door rings. At first, the courtyard door opened from the inside with a 'squeak'. A clean and neat woman poked her head out, looked at the crowd up and down, and asked politely: " Which one are the girls looking for?
"M Mother Shen is there? The girl came to see her. Danyue smiled and said, and the woman was stunned. She looked at Li Xiaoyao a few times and hesitated and said, "Yes, I just came back from the morning class on the mountain. Is it from Liushu Hutong in the city?"
"Well," Danyue said gently. The woman quickly opened the door of the courtyard, piled up with smiles on her face, and took three steps out of the door and two steps. She would kneel down and kowtow before she could go down the steps. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly motioned Danyue to hold it: "Don't be polite. Look at the dirty clothes." Danyue stretched out her hand but did not hold the woman. The woman had simply knelt down and kowtowed. Li Xiaoyao had to smile and signal Danyue to reward her purse.
The woman got up, respectfully let Li Xiaoyao in, followed herself and shouted, "Xiaotao, tell the mother, the girl is here!" Standing under the moon cave door, Xiaotao, who was curiously watching the lively, jumped to the yard in horror.
Li Xiaoyao crossed the yard and just got under the steps. Mrs. Shen hadn't put on a pair of shoes and dragged them out of the house in a hurry. Li Xiaoyao hurried up the steps, reached out to hold Mrs. Shen and smiled, "Grandma, I came to see you. Grandma is very energetic!"
"I'm fine! The girl is still thin! Mother Lu just came to have a look this month and heard her say that you have worked very hard on Huainan Road. Are you exhausted? Look at your thinness. You must be tired." Mrs. Shen pinched Li Xiaoyao's hand and arm and said with joy and emotion. Li Xiaoyao smiled and did not answer. She only helped Mrs. Shen into the room and sat down on the couch under the south window of the east wing. She also took off her shoes and sat up and smiled, "It's the same hard place to go anywhere. Nowhere on Huainan Road, Mother Zhang and the others are also in Kaiping Mansion. Thank you for your hard work. Grandma also works hard on this mountain.
"Where is this? Can this be the same? Not to mention this, you arrived so early. Have you had breakfast yet? Yesterday, the hunter at the foot of the mountain came to sell wild animals. I asked someone to buy a few pheasants. In this autumn, the pheasant is the fattest and tenderest, and the stewed soup is very fresh. Can you also drink a bowl? Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with pity. Li Xiaoyao quickly nodded several times: "I ate it, but I was hungry. I happened to drink a bowl of soup to go to get cold. If there is more, I will also serve a bowl for Danyue. They are harder than me these days."
"Girl, how can we afford it? I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. The girl's soup can't be greasy. Qingcheng said and laughed. Seeing that Li Xiaoyao responded with a smile, she waved to the cherry, followed a woman, and went to the kitchen to serve soup.
Li Xiaoyao drank the soup and simply widened the big clothes outside. He leaned comfortably on the couch. He screened the maids and yawned, "Grandma, I'm exhausted these days. I'm not going anywhere today. I'll just rest with you for a day."
"It's done! If you are tired, take a few more days and go back on the 25th!" Mrs. Shen smiled and said, Li Xiaoyao stretched out and sighed, "It's good to be free for half a day. If you think about it, you will be greedy. You have to rush back tonight. When Shuiyan comes back tomorrow, you have to ask him about a few things and discuss with him. The day after tomorrow, you will go to see the miscellaneous drama of Luoyan's new platoon. I want to put it in Shuisheng's wedding. If you can perform well, Luo Yan's business will be better, and the eldest brother will also come back. There are still a lot of things... Grandma, you see, it's all about things!" Li Xiaoyao seemed to be fake, but he complained in a really sad voice. Mrs. Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand and patted Li Xiaoyao's hand pitiously: "You are worried about your life. If you get married later, you have to take good care of yourself. No matter how many things you are, you have to rest when you are tired."
"Grandma, I won't marry anyone. There is no one I can marry." Li Xiaoyao lay in the second half and said lazily. Mrs. Shen was stunned and hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "The other side of Lord Liang?"
"He is not a good man," Li Xiaoyao stretched his arm over his head and said with his eyes closed, "He can't marry me. Even if he marries, he can't just keep me in the future and let me and a group of women dig out their minds to rob men. I can't do this in my previous life and this life! Why do you suffer? Why do women make things difficult for women? Mrs. Shen sighed long and said, "You, since you were in Taipingfu, I have seen that you are an arrogant person, and I don't advise you. What this person's temperament is like when he was born? The country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change. In this case, you should think about it, eat, drink, play, and don't be wrong yourself. Ji, you can be happy as much as you want. When you get older, take care of a girl who looks at you. Don't raise a boy. If you marry a daughter-in-law, you are just a white-eyed wolf. The girl is so good..." Mrs. Shen kept talking.
Li Xiaoyao became sleepy in Mrs. Shen's chatter. She yawned several times and said vaguely, "I knew grandma is the best. Grandma, I'm tired. I'll sleep here for a while." With that, she rubbed down and moved herself comfortably. She put her head in the big pillow, curled up and closed her eyes. Grandma Shen answered softly and stood up, gently took the thin quilt placed in the corner of the couch and covered Li Xiaoyao.
After sleeping until noon, Li Xiaoyao stretched out and opened her eyes. Mrs. Shen received the needlework in her hand and smiled, "Wake up? Are you hungry?"
"Well, I'm very hungry." Li Xiaoyao sat up, rubbed his stomach that was about to coo, and smiled. Dan Yue and others did not wait for the order, and quickly set up the table full of food. Li Xiaoyao cleaned his hands and ate with relish. He looked at the half-gloomy and half-eye outside. The weather was excellent, so he simply went out of the courtyard with Mrs. Shen and strolled to the back mountain.
"Is Mrs. Fan better these days?" Li Xiaoyao held Mrs. Shen and asked in a low voice as he walked slowly.
"Alas! It's not good, and it's not bad. It's always been like that. She is very thin, thinner than you. In fact, it's nothing to be thin. Every day, there are few oil stars, and they have to be thin. It's just as bad and not energetic. People say that her heart is like Gujing. She is not like that. She is not calm. She just blames herself every day. Last month, I don't know who heard a sentence that blood copying can atone for sins, so I pierced my finger to copy the blood scriptures every day. I couldn't persuade her several times, so I had to find Master Qing Shen. Master Shen most hated this kind of blood scriptures that is called pious crookedness. He said it fiercely to her, and that's all. Qing Shenshi is a good person and found a few books on Buddhism. Copy the causal storybook for her and tell her to be clear. Mrs. Shen sighed. Li Xiaoyao listened carefully, frowned slightly and asked, "Did she realize any reason?"
"Every day, Wu must be able to realize a little, but she is not calm at this time. I knocked on her side and weighed it carefully. Her mind is the same. She is afraid that your eldest brother will regret this marriage and leave her in this Han Chan'an from now on, alas! It can't be blamed on her. Isn't the girl's biggest idea just to marry a good family, teach her husband and children, and live a good life? She used to be a man with kindness and righteousness like your eldest brother, but it was difficult to find a good future, but she was confused and detained in this cold cicada nunnery. Do you think she won't regret it? Not afraid?" Mrs. Shen sighed for a long time. Li Xiaoyao was silent for a moment and whispered, "What's the use of regret and fear? The eldest brother said that when he sent her to this temple, he told her that he would not regret the marriage.
