MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 40
An Ruoxi also pretended to meet her by chance and said: "I just went to Ziyun Tower to meet eldest sister, and I didn't expect to meet Master Qian by such a coincidence."
"It's a coincidence." Qian Pei smiled, "Miss An is good."
"Elder Sister is very nice. Now that she is the steward of Ziyun Building, there are maids and servants to serve her every time she goes in and out. It's no worse than being at home."
"What did you talk about with the big girl?"
"It's just gossiping, let's not talk about the situation later." An Ruoxi answered carefully, carefully considering every word.
"The eldest girl and the second girl seem to be very harmonious."
An Ruoxi thought for a while before replying: "Let Master Qian read a joke. The elder sister took the opportunity to ridicule and reprimand me, but according to my parents' instructions, I paid a lot of careful words and tried a lot to please, but in the end I didn't It’s the sisterhood that has been maintained.”
Qian Pei smiled: "That's really wronging the second girl."
"Don't be wronged, it's what I should do."
Qian Pei said again: "It's good that the second girl can think so. In the future, the sisters will come and go frequently, which is also a good thing."
An Ruoxi nodded, then made a embarrassed expression, and sighed: "It's just that my sister has a big temper, and it's not easy to please her."
Qian Pei laughed: "If the second girl has any difficulties, just tell me. I have a lot of fate with the eldest girl, and we almost got married. The eldest girl doesn't like me, but I miss her. Day I'm afraid I will have to ask the second girl to give me good words and help me."
An Ruoxi said: "This is naturally possible. Tell me what Master Qian has ordered, and I will definitely do my best. It's just..." An Ruoxi paused, and took a careful look at Qian Pei, "It's just that I heard rumors that , my father was afraid that Mr. Qian would hold a grudge against the eldest sister's escape from marriage, and wanted to marry Mr. Qian again to make up for the wrong he did to Mr. Qian. I will obey the orders of my parents, but if I have a marriage contract with Mr. Qian again , I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk with the eldest sister. She won't even see me when she sees her. I want to help Master Qian, but I'm afraid I will be powerless."
Qian Pei laughed out loud. An Ruoxi laughed so frightened.
Qian Pei finished laughing, and said: "The daughters of An's family are really interesting to compete with each other. I really didn't realize it before. The second girl is ice and snow smart, which makes people happy."
An Ruoxi swallowed nervously.
Qian Pei said: "Second Miss, please don't worry, I didn't take Master An's jokes to heart. Second Miss can do things for me at ease, and I will definitely not treat Second Miss badly."
An Ruoxi smiled and said: "Master Qian is being polite. Eldest sister used to be ignorant and shamed An's family. Master Qian did not hold grudges, he really has a big heart."
"Then today, can the eldest girl mention the news about the fourth girl to the second girl?"
An Ruoxi hurriedly replied: "The elder sister doesn't know the whereabouts of the fourth younger sister. It sounds like she hasn't given up yet and will continue to look for it. If there is news in the future, I will definitely tell Master Qian."
"Okay." Qian Pei nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "I heard that Mr. An sent away all the people in the eldest girl's courtyard, so there is no one in the mansion that the eldest lady cares about. Who did the eldest lady ask today?" ?”
An Ruoxi thought for a while, and replied: "The Mrs. Lu who delivered vegetables to our Anfu is the eldest sister's helper."
An Ruochen quietly put "The New Biography of General Dragon" on the table in Long's house. Long Da was away, she deliberately picked this opportunity to come here. Put it down and leave, inexplicably feeling a little hot on the face.
Back in his own courtyard, he took care of some chores, reconciled the accounts that Steward Fang had told her to reconcile with her, and then had nothing else to do. As soon as I was free, I started to think wildly, and the more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I felt, and I felt the urge to get "The New Legend of General Dragon" back.
When she first wrote "Biography of General Dragon", she just made up a **** in front of her father, An Zhifu, so she made up nonsense and made it up without getting stuck at all. But this time, this new biography has been carefully thought out, carefully recalling the military deeds of General Long mentioned by Mr. Storyteller, as well as the good achievements of generals heard from Zong Zeqing, Lu Zheng, Tian Qing and others. And added his own exaggerated praise. Since he flattered him, he slapped it hard, let him see what the general wants to see for himself.
I am very happy when I finish writing, as if I have completed a big event. But now that I think about it, did she boast too much? He is brave and brave, but also wise, witty and cute.
An Ruochen thought of the last word and almost slammed his head on the table. How could she lose her mind and write that the general is cute? What did she think when she wrote it? But to be honest, in that story, General Lu met several children who were separated from their families due to the war. He solemnly comforted, nagged and cared, and secretly thought of tricks to make the children no longer afraid and sad. When encountering enemy troops, he led his subordinates to protect the children, rushed to a safe village, and finally helped them find their families. When An Ruochen wrote, her mind was full of the appearance of the general when she was reprimanded, but her face was thoughtful, and there was warmth in her extremely serious expression. It's like deliberately hiding a soft heart under the cold armor.
What a cute general!
An Ruochen wrote very happily, and felt that his writing could not be better.
As a result, now that the book was placed on the general's desk, she felt awkward.
No, the general will be back in a while, and he will see the book.
An Ruochen sighed. It was too late to take it back, the guard had already seen her take the book into the general's room, if the general knew she took it away while he was away, it would be too shameful.
An Ruochen covered her eyes, this was more embarrassing than writing that the general is cute.
An Ruochen decided to go out for a walk, to spy on Li Xiuer at Jiangjiayi Shop, and see how she reacts this time? Will Zhao Jiahua appear again?
Well, at this time, it is most effective to comfort myself with such serious business.
Jiang's Clothes Shop had a lot of customers, An Ruochen waited for a while before Li Xiu'er noticed her.
Li Xiu'er came over to say hello, and said that at that time, An Ruochen and An Ruochen had agreed to pick up the clothes the day after tomorrow, but now the clothes have not been made yet, and there are too many guests at the end of the year, so they are too busy, so they can only pick up the clothes at a later day.
An Ruochen laughed and said that she was just taking a walk along the way and did not remember the day when she picked up the clothes. She asked if there were any new materials, and chatted about the New Year's sale and other gossip. Li Xiuer agreed one by one. Later, there were other guests who needed to be greeted, so Li Xiuer hurried to go.
An Ruochen stayed for a while looking at the material of the clothes. She noticed that Li Xiuer secretly glanced at her from time to time, walking back and forth in the backyard of the hall of the shop. An Ruochen secretly wondered if she would inform Zhao Jiahua again. Sure enough, Li Xiuer came over and asked her if she was busy, and invited her to the private room to drink tea and rest.
An Ruochen readily agreed.
In the private room, there were several guests who were drinking tea and trying on clothes, but An Ruochen didn't know any of them. Hearing them gossip about each family, An Ruochen further confirmed that this place is indeed a good place to gather information. She drank several cups of tea and waited for a long time, but still did not see Zhao Jiahua, feeling a little disappointed. It's just that Li Xiu'er always came over to greet dim sum and tea in her busy schedule, which made her think that sitting around might be rewarding.
The result is not.
An Ruochen finally decided to leave. She didn't know whether Li Xiu'er was playing tricks or Zhao Jiahua was teasing her, but she felt that she had waited enough, it would be good if she came here today, and she couldn't be too passive.
An Ruochen walked all the way thinking about what to do next.
Li Xiu'er and Zhao Jiahua were indeed in the same group, and they had a connection.
Zhao Jiahua was stronger, and it felt like Li Xiuer was under her orders, just like she was under Xu Matchmaker's orders.
I don't know where Zhao Jiahua is in Mr. Xie's organization. Could it be that she is a higher level than Matchmaker Xu, which is why Mr. Xie is relieved to let her provoke?
An Ruochen even boldly guessed, is it possible that Zhao Jiahua is higher than Mr. Xie, and everything is just a cover. What was controlled by Matchmaker Xu, what was brought back from a brothel in another county...
An Ruochen stopped.
She saw a little **** the side of the road, about two years old, with delicate features and cute eyes, holding something in her hand, standing alone.
An Ruochen recognized this doll.
Liu Yin - Zhao Jiahua's daughter.
At this time, Liu Yin's little face looked a little flustered, as if she was crying but didn't dare to cry, she looked around.
An Ruochen also looked around, but she didn't see Zhao Jiahua, nor did she see anyone who looked like a servant, servant, or woman.
Only little Liu Yin, who seemed to have been abandoned, stood on the side of the street aggrieved and pitifully.
This is a bait.
An Ruochen knew it in her heart.
She looked at Liu Yin and thought of her fourth sister An Ruofang.
When the fourth sister was five years old, she was tricked by her aunt to trick her, which resulted in her mother's belongings being robbed and she was severely beaten. An Ruochen still remembers the horror, guilt and tears on An Ruofang's face after knowing the truth.
She used to hate Fourth Sister very much, she was wary of her, but Fourth Sister always liked to cling to her, trying every childish way she could think of to please her and make up for her.
She intentionally made it difficult for her to ridicule the fourth younger sister. At that time, the fourth younger sister had the same expression on Liu Yin's small face, flustered, as if she dared not cry.
An Ruochen walked towards Liu Yin.
It's a bait, she told herself.
She decided to swallow the bait.
Before, I wondered why Li Xiuer deliberately kept her and Zhao Jiahua didn't show up.
I see.
she appeared.
Just another way.
An Ruochen didn't understand his intention. But she'll figure it out.
An Ruochen walked slowly, and glanced at the corner of the street while walking. Lu Zhengzheng was standing there, nodding to her. This means that there is no danger near Liu Yin, she can go.
"Yin'er." An Ruochen knelt down in front of Liu Yin.
Liu Yin blinked at her, obviously not recognizing who she was. He wanted to speak, but the thing in his left hand fell to the ground.
An Ruochen looked down, it was a sweet jujube candy.
Liu Yin is also watching. Look at the one on the ground, then at the one on the right. The one in my hand has been eaten halfway, and the one that fell on the ground has not had time to eat.
When Liu Yin raised her head, there were tears in her eyes, and her small mouth curled up, as if she was going to cry at any moment.
An Ruochen was amused by her cute appearance, she asked Chunxiao to go to the sugar shop in front to buy another pack of jujube fruit candies, and then said to Liu Yin: "Yin'er, where is your mother?"
Liu Yin shook her head, then looked down at the jujube sugar that fell on the ground, hesitated for a while, and bent down to pick it up.
An Ruochen stopped her. He took out the handkerchief and gently wiped her hands, then asked, "Who brought you out? Why are you here by yourself?"
Hearing this, Liu Yin looked around and seemed to be looking for someone, and said after a long time, "It's gone."
"Your mother is gone?"
Liu Yin shook her head: "Ping'er."
An Ruochen guessed it was a girl's name.
"Ping'er brought you out?"
Liu Yin nodded: "There is also Grandma Chen."
"Where did Ping'er and Granny Chen go?"
"I don't know." Liu Yin shook her head, "I disappeared as I walked."
"Where's your mother?"
"I didn't come."
Are you so relieved to let the two servants bring the child out? An Ruochen smiled at Liu Yin and said, "Does Yin'er remember me? I'm your mother's friend, we met last time at the clothing store."
Liu Yin tilted her head, and looked at An Ruochen seriously.
Chunxiao bought Tangtangzi back. An Ruochen opened the paper bag.
Liu Yin watched eagerly, and replied, "I remember."
An Ruochen laughed, this baby, if he wants to eat candy, he just says he remembers it. She picked one and handed it to Liu Yin: "It's okay if you don't remember. Come on, eat this one. We don't want the dirty ones. Here's a pack, all for Yin'er."
Liu Yin took it and ate it beautifully. Looking at the whole bag of sweet jujube candies, she laughed.
An Ruochen fed her two, handed the paper bag to Chunxiao, and hugged Liu Yin himself: "Auntie will take you home to find your mother, okay?"
Liu Yin looked at the paper bag greedily, and Chun Xiao hurriedly handed her another jujube candy, Liu Yin nodded, and said in a childlike voice, "Okay."
Little greedy cat. An Ruochen rubbed her face, and carried her towards Zhaofu Restaurant.
