Chapter 710 Flattered
"Sister Xiao, get up quickly." Before Zhu Yuluo could say anything, Li Jingshu took a step forward, helped her stand up again, and scolded: "You are a healthy person, so don't be constrained by such vulgar etiquette."
Xiao Wuhen smiled bitterly and said: "This slave and my mistress haven't seen each other for twelve years, so we should have a proper meeting."
Zhu Yuluo has always been gentle and easy-going towards others. Although Xiao Wuhen was just a maid in the Korean government, she was treated as a relative by her because of her hard work and well-behaved nature. In addition, Xiao Wuhen's parents were implicated in Li Shanchang's case until their death.
She also felt guilty about him. If Xiao Wuhen hadn't disappeared all these years, she would have tried to find a way to repay him.
At this time, hearing Li Jingshu say that Xiao Wuhen was "a person with a body", and seeing the terrible scar on her face, Zhu Yuluo didn't know what kind of life Xiao Wuhen had been living in the past many years, and all kinds of emotions came together...
He quickly asked: "Are you married? Who is the other party?"
Lan Qiao and Li Jingshu looked at each other, remembering the fire last night, and their expressions darkened at the same time. Just as Xiao Wuhen was about to answer, Li Qi's voice came from the room.
"It's hot outside, but it's cool inside."
Zhu Yuluo nodded and saw that Li Jingshu had taken the initiative to help Xiao Wuhen and walked through the path in the front yard to the main room. She looked at Lan Qiao who was still at the door, as if asking: "Can you come in?"
Lan Qiao felt scared when she saw her, but he still mustered up the courage to call out: "Mother."
Zhu Yuluo smiled and asked, "Did Xiao Shu teach you this?"
Li Jingshu, who was walking in front, even the back of her neck turned red, and she said without looking back: "Who would teach him such a messy thing, you big stupid fish, you are so stupid!"
Zhu Yuluo blinked and seemed to be more interested in this young man who deeply occupied the heart of her beloved daughter. She covered her red lips and smiled: "I should have given you a big red envelope for calling you mother, but I should have given you a big red envelope.
There is no time to prepare now. Let me treat you to tea. Good tea is made freshly."
There is a tea room on the side of the main room. An old tree is planted next to the tea room. The thick branches and leaves shade the tea room below. The summer wind blows, and the thick leaves rustle, like thousands of small fans constantly turning.
, it’s really pleasant to the ear.
In the center of the tea room is a large tree stump that can be hugged by three people. The top surface has been smoothed and painted. It is a tea table with a natural charm. Several soft cushions are scattered around randomly, whirling.
The shadows of the trees reflected on the window paper were indescribably leisurely and comfortable.
Zhu Yuluo walked into the tea room first, took off her shoes at the door of the tea room, and walked to the innermost cushion wearing only white stockings. She sat down on the cushion demurely, raised her hand and said, "Please sit down."
Lan Qiao, Li Jingshu and Xiao Wuhen slipped into the house together and sighed: "I finally know that Xiao Shu's various charms come from her mother."
Li Jingshu was about to sit down, but after hearing what he said, she tugged at the corner of his clothes and said angrily: "You are the only one with such a sweet mouth." She first pulled Lan Qiao to sit down, and then sat down next to Xiao Wuhen.
Li Qi came in last, took off his shoes and socks at the door, walked barefoot to Zhu Yuluo, and sat down straight on the other side next to the blue bridge. So the five people sat in a circle, starting from Zhu Yuluo, in order
It's Xiao Wuhen, Li Jingshu, Lan Qiao and Li Qi.
Zhu Yuluo waited for everyone to sit down, then stood up again, turned to the small stove in the corner of the tea room to boil water, prepared tea at the same time, and then placed five teacups in a row on the table.
Anyone who knows anything knows that Zhu Yuluo treats them as guests and wants to serve them tea personally. Not only is Li Jingshu a little surprised, but Lan Qiao and Xiao Wuhen are even flattered.
"Mom, let me do it." According to Li Jingshu's idea, these people are either parents or husbands, and there is also a pregnant patient. She should be responsible for serving tea.
"Sit tight." Zhu Yuluo rolled her eyes at her, then smiled and said, "It's rare for our family to be reunited, and we have such a good new uncle. Mom is very happy."
She made tea and poured the tea soup into five tea cups. Li Qi brought one of the tea cups in front of Lan Qiao but did not look at him. Obviously, he was not in as good a mood as Zhu Yuluo.
Lan Qiao smiled awkwardly: "Thank you dad."
"Hmph!" Li Qi still didn't look at him and handed another tea cup to Xiao Wuhen, "Sister, drink tea."
"Thank you, Master." Xiao Wuhen held the tea cup with both hands.
Seeing Li Qi put the third teacup on the table in front of Zhu Yuluo's cushion and then made no move, Li Jingshu opened her eyes wide and said, "Where's mine?"
Li Qi said angrily: "You don't have any hands?"
Li Jingshu blinked aggrievedly, and finally Lan Qiao helped her get the teacup.
Zhu Yuluo sat back on the cushion, glared at Li Qi angrily and said, "My child called you dad, why didn't you respond? It's so rude."
Li Qi shrugged his shoulders and said "oh" noncommittally, which was considered as coping with it, but everyone could see that he was angry and dissatisfied with Lan Qiao, the cheap son-in-law who "sent from heaven".
"He has such a temper, just ignore him." Zhu Yuluo smiled kindly at Lan Qiao and said, "I'll go get some refreshments."
Lan Qiao was just about to say, "No need to bother," but she immediately added: "My mother-in-law loves my uncle, as she should."
Zhu Yuluo temporarily left the tea room, and the remaining four people suddenly fell into the embarrassment that no one knew how to speak. However, Xiao Wuhen coughed lightly and took the initiative to break the silence and said: "Master, are you still in good health these years?"
She paused and clasped her fists, lowered her head and said, "That time on Master Jie's ship, I had the guts to fight with you. Although there was no direct confrontation, it was still extremely disrespectful."
Li Jingshu glanced at her gratefully, knowing that at this time, only she, an "outsider", could speak to break the awkward silence.
Although Li Qi and Xiao Wuhen were originally masters and servants, the situation at this moment was more like host and guest. They were too indifferent to her and said with a smile: "It's not bad. Thanks to your young lady, I haven't been dismantled yet."
This old bone."
Li Jingshu knew that he was referring to the incident on Tianlian Peak. She chuckled, rubbed her hands and said, "My daughter also has her own reasons. If I reveal my identity in advance at that time, my father will definitely capture me and bring me back, then..."
Li Qi said: "What about that?"
Li Jingshu instantly became on the verge of tears and said pitifully: "My daughter and her husband were not long married at that time. Could it be that my father had the heart to separate us, a pair of miserable lovers?"
Li Qi asked again in disbelief: "Looking at what you said so lightly, can Miss Feng family tolerate you?"
"Xiao Ye is so kind to me. I'm not as petty as my father! At that time in Juyong Pass, the two of us faced hundreds of Mongolian soldiers. She would rather die than protect her daughter." When Li Jingshu said this, her eyes suddenly rolled.
"If dad is not convinced, why not confront Lord Feng?"
Li Qi said disdainfully: "My dearest daughter, Mo Ruofu, you want to take the opportunity to drive me away and keep me away from the capital. I don't believe your lies."
At this time, Zhu Yuluo came back and brought six-color exquisite tea snacks. After setting them up, she sat down again and interrupted the conversation between Li Qi and the others: "I remember that in the mansion, the eldest sister and Mr. Xu were the most affectionate. Mr. Xu hinted several times
, wants us to promise you to him. My husband and I discussed it, thinking that since Mr. Xu has a title, it would be a blessing for you, a maid, to be able to serve him. I was about to agree, but who would have expected... misfortunes are coming, what misfortunes are coming."
I don't know how many times this past event reappeared in Xiao Wuhen's mind, but she was very calm at this moment. She took a sip of the best Jiangpu tea and said calmly: "It was Mr. who rescued me at that time. This scar on my face
, was also left behind during the melee in Licheng.”
"My family can't help you." Zhu Yuluo sighed and asked, "What happened next? Where did you go? This...the father of this child is Mr. Xu?"
Xiao Wuhen nodded, thinking of the fire in Panlong Tower last night, and became silent again.
Lan Qiao didn't want Zhu Yuluo to continue asking about Xu Qiuyu and the topic was heavy, so he patted his head and said: "Back in Jinan, Xiao Shu made me a kind of 'clear plum tea'. The buds of plum blossoms bloomed one after another in the boiling water.
The cold fragrance is lingering, the fragrance of flowers and tea is refreshing, my mother is a master of tea art, have you ever heard of such a practice?"
Zhu Yuluo was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she thought about it, glanced at Li Jingshu slyly and said: "If you ask me, this should be 'Green Plum Tea', the green plum of childhood sweethearts. Oh, that's right, this is the book given to me by Xiao Qingmei."
It’s her sweetheart’s consideration.”
Li Jingshu's little girl's thoughts were exposed by her, and she immediately blushed with embarrassment and said angrily: "Mom, you still laugh at me."
Xiao Wuhen lost no time and added: "I know where this Qingmei Tea comes from. When we were in Chushui City, the eldest lady tried repeatedly to find the best formula for Qingmei Tea. It was indeed well-intentioned. It turned out that it was for
Please your lover."
"Sister Xiao!" Li Jingshu saw that even Xiao Wuhen had come to "tease" her. On the one hand, she was relieved that she had temporarily overcome the grief of losing Xu Qiuyu. On the other hand, she was even more embarrassed. She tightly covered her burning ears with her beautiful hands,
Putting on a cute look like "I won't listen, I won't listen", she bit her cherry lips and said loudly.
