Chapter 250 Ice and Lamp
Miss Shen Liu was panicked and took the bus back to Liyunyuan in a daze. Before Mrs. Zhou came back, Miss Shen Liu hid in her room like a frightened bird and refused to come out again. The two girls had pale faces and kept shaking.
Zhou Jiugu watched Miss Shen Liu enter the house with worry, frowned slightly, and sat upright in the warm room outside Miss Shen's house, waiting for Mrs. Zhou to come back.
After more than an hour, Mrs. Zhou hurried in from outside. She didn't bother to chat with Zhou Jiugu and rushed into the inner room. Miss Shen Liu curled up in the corner of the bed. The two girls were full of fear and restlessness, and they stood in front of the bed with their heads down.
Mrs. Zhou threw herself on the bed and hugged Miss Shen Liu. She felt so distressed that tears fell like rolling balls.
"My son, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? Why are you so scared? You look like this, my mother feels so heartbroken!"
Miss Shen Liu hugged Mrs. Zhou and burst into tears. The two girls fell to the ground, soft on the ground, and started to cry. Miss Shen Liu cried while crying:
"Mom, mom, who have you promised me...? Who have you promised me?"
Mrs. Zhou hugged Miss Shen Liu and patted her to comfort her. After hearing this question, she immediately pushed Miss Shen Liu away, with anxiety and shock in her eyes, and she looked at Miss Shen Liu's hair and clothes in a panic.
"What happened to my son? Tell me quickly and tell me quickly!"
Miss Shen Liu opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word, and she burst into tears again with grievance. Mrs. Zhou hugged Miss Shen Liu, turned her head, and stared at the two girls who were lying on the ground and crying bitterly.
"You two sluts, tell me, what's wrong with you lady? Take care of your skin!"
The two girls lay on the ground, kowtowing constantly, and they were in a mess. Finally, they told the matter roughly. Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale and her breath became unstable. Miss Shen Liu pulled Mrs. Zhou's sleeve and cried sadly.
"Mom, I will never marry him even if I die, and I will never marry him even if I die..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I haven't agreed to this marriage, I will never agree to this marriage. If I don't marry such a person, don't worry, I will never let you jump into the fire pit. Don't cry, don't worry, if I have my mother here, don't worry."
Mrs. Zhou hugged Miss Shen Liu, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly. Miss Shen Liu sobbed and slowly stopped crying. Mrs. Zhou ordered the little girl to bring hot water in, twisted a handkerchief, cleaned her daughter's face, and watched her drink a bowl of calming soup, lay on the bed, comforted her softly for a while, and watched Miss Shen Liu slowly fall asleep, leaving two mature nannies watching, and then quietly left the house.
Zhou Jiugu was waiting outside respectfully. Mrs. Zhou stared at her coldly for a while, raised her jaw slightly.
"You come and talk."
Zhou Jiugu lowered her head slightly, followed Mrs. Zhou respectfully, left Miss Shen Liu's house, followed the hand-broken veranda, and entered the main house.
Mrs. Zhou sat down at the top, took the tea served by the little girl, took a few sips, and then put the cup heavily on the table. She stared at Zhou Jiugu, who was standing with her hands hanging down, and asked slowly:
"If something like this happens, your cabinet is so big. Just let you come over and explain the past?"
Zhou Jiugu accompanied her smile on her face, bent her knees and said respectfully:
"Mrs. Zhou, Miss Liu seemed to be frightened, but she was not well taken care of by the small trumpet. According to the rules of the small trumpet, anyone who bumped into the guest would punish the person and destroy the things. The guests could not be wronged at all. Miss Liu seemed to be frightened just now. The young men dared not stare at each other and asked in detail. She was afraid that Miss Liu would be wronged again. She had to send Miss Liu back to the mansion. Now, Mrs. Zhou would also ask Mrs. Zhou to tell me whether it was the small trumpet or the things that made Miss Liu wronged. The young men took a message back and handed it to our shopkeeper for strict handling. Our shopkeeper would come to the door to apologize and give Mrs. Zhou an explanation."
"you!"
Mrs. Zhou stared at Zhou Jiugu with her fingers trembling slightly. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. After a while, she asked fiercely:
"How come there are men in your Tianyifang?"
Zhou Jiugu looked at Mrs. Zhou in surprise, and a confused flashed in her eyes. She frowned and thought about it carefully for a while before she replied respectfully:
"Mrs. Zhou, Xiaozhao never receives male guests. Today, the only men who come to Xiaozhao are..."
Zhou Jiugu hesitated, gritted her teeth, looked up at Mrs. Zhou, and explained in a low voice:
"The Master Aunt of Tianyifang General Account arrived at the small trumpet last night. Because the Fourth Prince had to discuss with the Master Aunt, I had been to the Small trumpet today and only sat for half a cup of tea. Mrs. Zhou probably didn't know that the Fourth Prince is also one of the owners of the Small trumpet and is really not considered an outsider."
Zhou Jiugu paused and said with a smile:
"If the fourth prince bumps into Miss Six, the younger one will go back to report. According to the rules of the small trumpet, our shopkeeper will also invite the fourth prince to come to accompany Miss Six."
Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale. She was angry and her body trembled slightly. After a while, she raised her hand and pointed at Zhou Jiugu and squeezed out a few words from her teeth:
"Get out! Get out! Don't go up to my door again!"
Zhou Jiugu lowered her eyes, and didn't mind Mrs. Zhou's anger. She bent her knees and respectfully asked for retreat. She left the door, straightened her body, lowered her eyes slightly, raised her lips upwards, gently brushed her clothes, and returned to Tianyifang with a peaceful expression.
Madam Zhang shrank into the house and carefully held a package to report:
"Thank you, the clothes that the wife ordered last time have been ready, so I took them back."
"Take it out! Get out!"
Mrs. Zhou became furious and viciously knocked away the bag in Madam Zhang's hand, and her voice roared sharply.
Before the beginning, snowflakes rose and fell in Pingyang Mansion. Li Qing was wrapped in a sable cloak and stood in the corridor with her hand stove in her hand stove. Xiaoying directed the little girls to make snowmen and play. Du Ruo walked along the squeaking veranda to Li Qing with his knees and reported:
"Madam, Ding Yi has sent a lot of ice lamps over. He is waiting outside the yard. Please tell me."
Li Qing was stunned, tilted his head and thought about it, and slowly started to laugh.
"Let him send it in."
Du Ruo responded with a smile and ran out to pass the message.
Soon, Ding Yi led in front, and the servant behind him carried dozens of exquisite ice lamps of various shapes and sizes in them. Ding Yi saw Li Qing and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps.
"The ground is full of snow and water, don't kneel."
Li Qing hurriedly ordered, Ding Yi responded with a smile on his face, bowed his body and asked An with a smile, reporting:
"Go back to Madam, these ice lamps were all carved by me personally after seeing the drawings and asking people to carve them. This morning, I immediately ordered the slave to send them to my wife. Madam looked at them. Madam said that if Madam felt that it was not good, I would let someone carve them again."
Li Qing nodded with a smile, got down from the steps, walked to the yard, looked carefully at the ice lamps all over the ground, and after watching one by one, he turned around and looked at Ding Yi with a smile and said:
"Everyone is very good. When you go back, tell me, thank you for your trouble. I like it very much."
Ding Yi smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to one point, nodded repeatedly, bowed his body and replied loudly:
"Yes! I must be very happy to hear this from my wife."
Ding Yi laughed and followed a few words in a low voice. Li Qing turned to look at him, and smiled and ordered:
"Thank you too, it's so cold, running back and forth."
As he said that, he turned around and ordered Shui Su:
"You go to the kitchen and take some fresh snacks for Mr. Ding to fill his stomach on the way, and then get a purse and give it to him."
Shui Su smiled and bent her knees and responded, turned around and rushed out, called the little girl to go to the kitchen, went into the house to get a purse, put two small golden crocks, showed it to Li Qing, and handed it to Ding Yi. Ding Yi took the purse with bright eyes, bowed deeply, and then took the servant to leave the yard respectfully.
Li Qing directed the mother and the little girls to light up the ice lamp and put it all over the place, until the end of Shen, when the sky was completely dark, it was barely ready.
Li Qing wrapped his cloak tightly, walked around and looked around with satisfaction before returning to the main house.
King Ping returned to Zhuyuan, looked at the staggered ice lamps placed in various parts of the yard, stopped and carefully admired for a while before entering the main house with a smile. Li Qing took it out and waited for him to change his clothes. King Ping took the tea, took a few sips, and said with a smile:
"I heard that you rewarded Ding Yi? Master's ice lantern today, so he asked him to ask for it, and he was cheaper."
"I admire him because he is so cold and has worked hard to run back and forth, not for this ice lamp, so how can it be considered cheap?"
Li Qing looked at King Ping with a smile and said, King Ping raised his eyebrows and reached out to pull Li Qing into his arms.
"What about me? I won't have to work hard when I run back and forth every day? How do you reward me?"
Li Qing looked at Ping Wang helplessly.
"Master, you are the master. Only you can reward others, only you can reward me. How can I reward you? Master is really, the more you say, the less rules you are, the more you say."
"In your yard, there are only your rules and my yard. When you reach your yard, you can't count them. Tell me, how can you reward me for my hard work?"
King Ping held Li Qing and said like a scoundrel with a silk scoundrel. Li Qing blinked his eyes and looked at King Ping in a little astonishment. After a while, he spread his hands.
"What do you want?"
"Well, you can embroider a purse and give it to me."
Li Qing choked in his throat in one breath and spoke for a while.
"Have you seen me touching the needle or thread?"
"Well, what's the point of not touching the needle and thread? You are so smart, but you can learn it after taking a look at the needle and thread. I don't pick on the needle and the needle corners, as long as it's done by you."
Li Qing blinked in a daze, and looked at Ping Wang and said slowly:
"Since this is the case, I have to do the tricks and inscriptions on this purse by myself. I don't rush to use this purse anyway. I just wait for me to practice calligraphy first, practice calligraphy, then learn painting, learn needlework, and then embroider this purse for me."
King Ping raised his eyebrows high, and after a while he hugged Li Qing and fell on the kang with a smile. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in. There are more chapters, support the author and support genuine reading!)
