Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 15 Kite Flying

The second room is Xihu Garden.

Since Li Xiangru was sent back by Danwu, he has been in a trance, and he couldn't stop crying when he thought of marrying that vulgar handyman.

"Crying, crying, crying, what's the use of crying? Look at the stupid things you did. If Dafang told the old lady about it, even I would be dragged down by you! Didn't you say that nothing would go wrong? Why didn't Su Li Save you, but the one who saves you is a servant?" Guo Shi gave Li Xiangru a bitter look, and said with a sullen face.

Standing aside, Mrs. Liao saw her daughter crying pitifully, and wanted to comfort her with distress, but she dared not go forward because of Mrs. Guo's presence.

After Li Xiangru fell into the water, Mrs. Guo thought she was a success, and wanted to go to the guest room to see her, but was held back by Madam Lu of the eldest room.Nanny Lu chatted with Mrs. Guo about family affairs, and after she left, Mrs. Guo heard about Hualutianxiang from her maid.

Li Xiangru is such an idiot, even thinking about it, Guo felt ashamed and flustered on his face.

Mrs. Guo was still puzzled, when the maid brought tea, she knocked over the cup with her hand, and Li Xiangru flinched.After a while, Mrs. Guo managed to calm down, and said to Liao's mother and daughter: "Cousin, today's matter is like my sister's mistake. She doesn't know her identity, and she wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix. Afterwards, please take care of me." Teach her, don't do this kind of thing again. As for the big house and the old lady, I will explain it myself."

The implication is that this matter was planned by Li Xiangru and has nothing to do with Erfang.

Mrs. Guo left it clean at the moment, and Mrs. Liao naturally disagreed. After all, she was her own daughter, and she couldn't be ruined by a handyman. "Second Madam, how could you say that... If you hadn't brought us to the Su Mansion and told us...how could Sister Ru do such a thing."

Mrs. Guo didn't admit it, and lifted her lips and said: "Really? I never said it clearly. If you didn't have such thoughts, you wouldn't do it even if I said it out of your mouth." A sparrow can become a phoenix by flying on a branch. She only gave a few words of guidance, and they couldn't wait to jump into the pit.

Liao Shi trembled all over, and said angrily, "You..."

Although Li Xiangru also hated Mrs. Guo for picking them cleanly, she had to turn to Mrs. Guo for help at the moment, "Auntie, save me, I don't want to marry that servant... Please..." ", in order to get closer to each other.

Guo Shi said: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but that you have said it to death, and you keep saying that you are dead to prove your innocence. Now, the lady has fulfilled you, but you are not willing. This is not your own beating. face?"

Li Xiangru really regretted it to death right now, who knew it wasn't Su Li who saved her?Thinking of what she said swearingly while kneeling in front of Yin Shi, she felt ashamed to death. "My aunt told the eldest lady that I had a fever, and I..."

Mrs. Guo interrupted her: "Is it burnt or not? Please ask the doctor to see it. I can't let me decide. It depends on what the old lady says. If the old lady nods, it seems that you call me auntie." For your sake, I can only give you an extra dowry."

This is where there is no room for redress.Li Xiangru's body softened, and when he thought of Su Li's handsome and flawless face, he suddenly felt hopeless, and he covered his face and sobbed unwillingly.

The matter eventually reached the ears of the old lady.

The old lady called all the people from the first room and the second room over, because she had heard from Yin Shi in advance, her face looked calm, she asked about the cause and effect, and said very understandingly: "Although it is a bit wronged to marry Chang Ping , but Miss Li insists on repaying her kindness, and the Su family has absolutely no reason to stop her, so let's discuss it another day and get the marriage done."

The old lady has lived in the back house for most of her life, and she has seen a lot of dirty tricks. She can tell Li Xiangru's thoughts at a glance, and because she is bored, she deliberately said these words to disgust her.

Sure enough, Liao's and Li Xiangru's faces turned pale.

The old lady was too lazy to talk to them, so she sent Liao's mother and daughter away.

"Second daughter-in-law." After Liao's mother and daughter left, the old lady looked down at Guo Shi who was sitting in the rose chair, "I treat the second daughter as my own, and treat you equally as the eldest and third daughter-in-law. Originally I also said that you were just confused for a while, and you really let me down this time, so you wouldn’t know that the mother and daughter of the Liao family did such a thing? If Brother Li was not careful, wouldn’t you fall into their trap? Are they You brought it into the mansion, and you are also at fault for this matter."

The old lady's words were tactful enough, she didn't point it out, she just wanted to give Guo Shi a chance for Su Yang's face, and beat her up.

Mrs. Guo bowed her head and said, "What mother taught me is that my daughter-in-law knows her mistakes."

The old lady said: "In two days, I will go to Xiangshan nunnery to recuperate, and I will punish you to go with me. The place is quiet and not too many people are allowed to enter. Every time I go back, I will only bring Madam Li with me. Madam Li is very old. It's not good to serve her well, this time you go, just in time to take over from her."

Every time the old lady goes back to the Xiangshan Nunnery, it takes ten days and a half a month, that is to say, she is here to serve her these days?What's more, even the old lady can only take Madam Li with her, so she can't surpass the old lady, and can only bring one maid at most.Guo Shi gritted her teeth, and said after a while: "...Yes."

Within two days, the Liao family and Li Xiangru moved out from the Su residence.

Su Xi heard from Yan that Chang Ping knew of Li Xiangru's "declaration" of repaying his kindness that day, and later the old lady personally agreed to their marriage, so Chang Ping went to the door of Li Xiangru's guest room every day to discuss the two parties' agreement. For the matter of my relatives, I even brought my mother over from other places.Li Xiangru was overwhelmed and unwilling to marry him, so he couldn't take it anymore one day, and fell ill in bed.

Mrs. Liao told the old lady that she was worried about infecting the people in the house with her illness, so before the doctor came to see her, she packed her bags and rushed back to her hometown in Kaifeng overnight.

Never dare to say anything about repaying gratitude.

The day when the old lady took her second wife, Mrs. Guo, to Xiangshan nunnery happened to be the day when the ethnology school was on break.

Su Xi and Yin brought the old lady to the door. Guo's face was so heavy that water could be squeezed out, and behind him was only a little girl who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.

The old lady stood in front of the black-painted flat-topped carriage, motionless.After a while, Mrs. Guo came to her senses, supported the old lady and said, "Mother, please slow down." Although the words were respectful, there was no reluctance on the face.

The old lady said: "Xiangshan nunnery is a quiet place, you can still cultivate your body and mind when you go there, it's not bad for you."

Guo Shi didn't say a word.

After the carriage left, Su Xi returned to Hualu Tianxiang.Today she promised Su Baiyu to take him to the other courtyard to fly a kite, and it happened that the second brother was also at the house, so she asked Tingyan to prepare the carriage, told Yin, and the three of them went to the western suburb of Long'an Mountain.

Long'an Mountain in the western suburb is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It faces Taiqing Lake, and there are continuous mountains behind it. There are peach forests in the east and a hot spring pool in the west. The scenery is comparable to a paradise.Those who can afford to build other courtyards here must either be rich and noble in the capital, or the emperor's grandson. Rao is a famous family like the Su family, and they can only build a courtyard with three entrances on the mountainside. The top of the mountain is the royal family. territory.

After arriving at the other courtyard, the steward Zhu Li led them to their respective rooms.

As soon as Su Xi sat down, before he had time to rest, Su Baiyu stood at the door with his goshawk kite, walked into the room with his short legs, walked up to her, stretched out his hand and tugged at her skirt, black and white. "Let's go fly a kite" was written brightly in his swarthy eyes.
