Early this morning, Mrs. Liu of Liuzhuang sent an invitation to Sai Mansion, saying that the new tea introduced by Liuzhuang from Bashu could be tried and drank. Mrs. Liu of Liuzhuang admired the camellias and drank the new tea together.
Mrs. Sai was addicted to tea, and Liuzhuang was the most famous tea house outside Yangzhou. The tea produced was of the highest quality, and even the tea merchants in the capital purchased from Liuzhuang, exclusively for the high-ranking officials in the capital. Mrs. Sai
He is a frequent visitor to Liuzhuang. No matter what good tea is produced, the servants of Liuzhuang will leave some for Mrs. Sai to send.
Over time, Mrs. Sai and Mrs. Liuzhuang became close friends, and Miss Liuzhuang and Sai Jiangnan also became best friends.
In the past, Mrs. Liu mostly came to visit, but Mrs. Sai rarely visited Liuzhuang. Although I was surprised to receive the invitation today, I was also full of expectations.
I dressed up simply and set off before noon.
Before going out, Mrs. Sai found that her maid had gone somewhere, and when she arrived at the door, she was not even ready to drive. She felt a little unhappy in her heart. She happened to see Jiang Nan coming out of the house and asked:
"Jiangnan, have you ever seen that maid?"
Jiang Nan pretended to be confused and shook his head.
"I'm going to visit Liuzhuang today. Miss Liu specially mentioned that she wants you to come with her."
"Mom, my daughter is not going. I haven't finished the homework assigned by my husband yet."
When she mentioned her husband, Mrs. Sai couldn't help but frown, thinking whether it was a blessing or a curse for the wolf to enter the house. Her daughter was becoming more and more obedient to him now, so what should she do in the future?
I was in a dilemma, but I couldn't find a suitable solution, so I could only hold back my worries.
Suddenly, Mrs. Sai noticed that her daughter was holding an umbrella in her arms, and when she looked at the scorching sun, she became confused: "Jiangnan, the sky is so big, why are you holding an umbrella?"
"Oh! I almost forgot, this is for mother. It's going to rain soon!"
Mrs. Sai frowned: "How can it rain in such weather?"
Jiang Nan replied seriously: "That's what my husband said. If he says it's going to rain, it will definitely rain."
Mrs. Sai found that her daughter's admiration for her husband was almost blind, but her daughter also had good intentions, so she could only accept it.
"Where has this servant gone? No one has been seen all day!"
As he said that, a carriage drove up the street and stopped at the door of the house. Xiaocui got out of the car and shouted crisply: "Madam, Sister Xiaoqing said she is unwell, so I will accompany Madam to Liuzhuang."
"Feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Sai murmured, but didn't take it to heart. She quickly got into the carriage and left.
Seeing his mother's car disappear from sight, the relief on Jiang Nan's face was quickly replaced by tension.
Her tight little face lost its former luster, and she looked at the sky with a worried look. The sun was so fierce today.
"Is it really going to rain?"
At this time, a woman in white clothes appeared behind Jiang Nan. The scarf was gone, revealing a pale and bloody face. She looked like Mrs. Sai's maid.
"Miss, your arrangement has been completed."
Jiang Nan looked back and was shocked: "Sister Xiaoqing, why are you so hurt?"
"Thank you for your concern, Miss. It doesn't matter, my slave."
He said it easily, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart: "Injury? If I ran slower, it would not be as simple as being injured. It is not known whether I will come back alive."
Jiang Nan knew how powerful the maids around her mother were. There were countless thieves who tried to do evil to her in the past, but they were all easily driven away by her. In her memory, she had never seen this maid injured.
Moreover, this time she was just asked to feint and lure the man out, but she didn't expect that he could be hurt like this.
Just how powerful is the person you have to deal with?
When he thought about this, Jiang Nan became even more worried.
"Sister Xiaoqing, do you think sir, will he be in danger? Will sir's plan succeed? At what time is it time for sir to lure him here?"
Xiao Qing wanted to comfort her, but after fighting, she realized how terrifying that person was. For a person who doesn't know martial arts to plot against such a master is tantamount to death! After all, she still hopes that Xia Shang will be killed.
The lady's concerns were resolved.
"Miss, I think you should be mentally prepared. Your husband's actions are nothing more than using human power to fight against nature."
Jiang Nan's pretty face turned pale: "No! Sir, I have a plan. It's a god coming down to earth. Nothing will happen to me."
"maybe……"
"Sister Xiaoqing, how about you help me?"
Xiao Qing's expression changed and she grabbed Jiang Nan: "Hurry up, people are coming!"
…
It goes without saying that I ran all the way from the alley to Saifu, and I went through many narrow escapes.
This was completely different from Xia Shang's plan. He had previously thought that his opponent would become very weak under the combined effects of croton, aphrodisiacs, poison, and poor Qi and blood.
But he never expected that the other party would still be extremely fast and powerful. In terms of speed, reaction, and strength, he was much stronger than Xia Shang.
The only thing Xia Shang relied on was the route he had planned in advance and the use of shelters along the way. He was almost overtaken several times, and he used emergency stops to run back from the dead end.
If he had known this earlier, Xia Shang would not have taken such a big risk even if he was beaten to death.
Now his life was hanging by a thread. If he made a mistake, he would be dead. Xia Shang was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.
Fortunately, he had unleashed all his potential by running all the way. Not only was he much faster than before, but he also ran with all his strength for a quarter of an hour without feeling any physical weakness.
Now, Sai Mansion is in front of us. I wonder if Jiangnan has arranged the green bamboo array inside as required.
Also, when will it rain?
It definitely won't work under such strong light.
Although all the mechanisms have been exhausted, there are still too many uncertain factors in the actual situation, and we can no longer control so many of them!
Behind him, Lu Xun was still roaring angrily: "You little thief! I thought you could run to the ends of the earth? Today, you will die!"
"If you can talk nonsense, why not kill me right now! If you don't catch me today, don't look back! Whoever doesn't chase me is my grandson!"
Xia Shang never loses to anyone in his talking skills, and he is not a person who suffers from words. Even if he dies, he will still lose money if he deserves it.
The distance between the two was only seven or eight meters, but they always maintained a distance.
Lu Xun also felt strange and wondered where this kid got his strength. He could run so easily without getting tired or out of breath, and he was so fast that even ordinary warriors couldn't keep up.
Seeing Xia Shang get into the backyard of a house, Lu Xun also jumped into the air, climbed over the courtyard wall, and landed in the yard of that house.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lu Xun couldn't help but stopped and looked around. He saw green bamboos, rocks, small pavilions and attics. He could only hear the clear water surging and the koi carps spitting beads, but Xia Shang was nowhere to be seen!
Lu Xun frowned and wondered where the leisure and elegance of this family came from, and how could they create such a complicated courtyard. Although it was beautiful, it had a lot of obstructions.
"Grandson, why don't you chase me?"
Lu Xun was still wondering where Xia Shang had gone, but he didn't expect that this kid would come out to provoke him first!
