Fortunately, the next place is not as noisy as you might imagine.
Mrs. Li took Bai Feng and the four of them to her usual resting place, which was an elegant and exquisite hut located due north of the entire mansion.
Inside the cabin, bead curtains and silk cloth are often used to separate the space areas. There are seven or eight maids and maids serving in the cabin. They seem to be waiting for the return of their wives at any time and have prepared everything in advance.
Several guests responded to the maid's request and opened the bead curtains, and walked into a small area. Apart from a low table with fruit snacks of different colors on it, there were only four gauze lanterns placed in the small pavilion. in the four corners.
Mrs. Li informed Su Qing casually and said, "Wait a moment and I'll come as soon as I can." Then she disappeared for a long time.
During the long wait, you gradually felt the host's arrogance. No matter how many times they asked, the maid behind the bead curtain would always respond: "Please wait a moment, the lady is taking a bath and changing clothes."
After all, she didn't go to find anyone to confirm whether Mrs. Li was bathing and changing clothes, or whether she had gone back to the carnival to enjoy herself. She just stood there blocking the door, not letting anyone in or out.
After several perfunctory replies in a row, the four of them, exhausted from traveling all night, could no longer bear the physical and mental fatigue, and could not help lamenting their fate and whispering in their ears.
Zi Chai put her arm on Murong Yan's shoulder, drowsy and frowning, but she didn't have the strength to shed tears, "I really want to take a bath and change clothes, and then sleep on the same bed, it doesn't have to be that expensive velvet bed, even if it's A bed made of straw would be good too.”
At this time, in order not to be recognized by the gangsters, the Xianbei witch still wore a veil on her face and sat cautiously on the seat cushion. Days of exposure to the sun and harsh winds in the wilderness had sculpted her facial features. She hadn't put any makeup on her face for several days, and her complexion was already very gloomy. Naturally, she wanted to have a good rest.
However, now that they are guests in other people's homes and have requests from others, how can they dare to make more demands?
"Sister Zichai, please rest on me for a while, right?"
Seeing that Murong Yan was so kind and considerate, Zi Chai politely said no need, and said: "Oh, I just complained casually. I feel like I have gone back to the days when I lived with Mr. Su without a fixed place."
Su Qing was on the sidelines and said, "Anu has this temperament and likes to be condescending. The more we complain, the more joyful and interesting she feels. Why not take this opportunity to have a good rest, since the assassins can't get in anyway." !”
After hearing her son's explanation, Zi Chai happily laid her head on Murong Yan's knees and closed her eyes in peace. Bai Feng, who was also sitting not far away, also began to close her eyes and rest.
Su Qing, on the other hand, continued to enjoy the fruit cakes on the table in front of the low table. From time to time, he deliberately smacked his lips and made a loud noise when chewing food, in order to tell others how comfortable he was. .
Just as Su Qing said, the maid guarding the door saw that the guests in the pavilion were not at all polite. After a while, she suddenly left from behind the bead curtain, and after a while, he finally greeted his wife respectfully.
After being groomed and groomed, the "Anu" in Su Qing's mouth didn't look like a slave in any way. She dressed up beautifully, changed the black silk skirt she had just worn into a white dress, opened the bead curtain, and walked towards Su Qing.
Her eyes were blurred and her eye sockets were deep. A touch of pink makeup applied to the corners of her eyes and cheeks was flattering enough. However, she did not forget that she was already married. When she formally received guests, she would still pull up her beautiful black curly hair. Tie your hair into a bun.
She has a graceful figure, light steps, and always looks coquettish. She still didn't wear any shoes on her feet, and she jumped up and down in the small pavilion. Before everyone could recover, she quickly went to sit in front of Su Qing. She looked like the person embroidered on her skirt. The flying birds are as agile and lively as the fish.
This woman looks to be only twenty-five years old at most, and she still exudes endless youthful charm.
Before anyone saw her figure, there were several bursts of special perfume smell coming from her body, like the scent of crushed gooseberries and lavender; when everyone came to their senses, they saw her appear in a familiar manner. Once you are around Su Qing, you will be attracted by her unique appearance of the Jiehu tribe, as well as the transparent jade bracelet on her hand and the exquisite copper bell crown embedded on her forehead.
"You guys really don't treat yourselves as guests." Mrs. Li felt a little dissatisfied and said, "We women from the Western Regions, no matter how ignorant we are of etiquette, we will not lie down and sleep in the waiting room."
After finishing her words, Zi Chai quickly stood up from Murong Yan's lap and apologized to her host. She was just closing her eyes to rest, but Bai Feng was still sitting upright as well.
Seeing that the visitor finally acknowledged the words "honor and inferiority, order" in front of her, Mrs. Li showed a smile from the corner of her mouth. However, Su Qing still went her own way and wolfed down the food in front of her.
"Brother Su, have you been hungry on the road for how many days? Do you want me to ask someone to cook a pot of delicious food and bring it to you?"
After saying that, instead of responding, Su Qing put on airs and handed the desserts to several friends, urging them to taste them too.
Mrs. Li only showed some kindness to Su Qinghui, but this did not mean that she would miss any opportunity to ridicule other people. Soon, she vented her resentment caused by her failed attempt at courtesy on others.
When she saw the haggard and shabby appearance of the two women who were traveling with Su Qing, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and sneered: "Oh, these two sisters are really plainly dressed. How about I give you some clothes?"
"That's not necessary, Mrs. Li." Su Qing couldn't see others ridiculing his partner in front of him. At this moment, he was finally willing to speak out and face the other party, saying: "Now I am not the poor boy I used to be! I will take them there tomorrow The tailor shop in town will order a set of winter clothes to keep out the cold. If Mrs. Li needs it, she can come with me."
"Oh, Brother Su is so kind to the slave family! It's a pity that you are being hunted everywhere now, like a rat crossing the street. You are followed wherever you go. Fortunately, this is the slave family's house, and now it is the seventh day of every month that Li Mansion opens its doors , during the banquet for the rich and powerful in the town, those bad guys just didn't dare to attack."
"Then...what can Mrs. Li do to reject Xiao Sigu?"
"Brother Su, have you misunderstood?" Mrs. Li immediately stood up, turned her back, revealing her looming back under the white gauze, glanced slightly sideways, and replied frivolously: "The slave family hasn't agreed to help yet. What about you, Brother Su, you just made your own decision and asked the slave family to help you?"
"You, what do you want me to do?" Su Qing lowered her head, her face turned gray, and she said helplessly.
"From now on, wherever I go, you will follow me. Isn't this too much to ask?"
"What about my friends? What should they do?"
"Them? Their slave family can't control it. Anyway, Xiao Sugu named the person he wanted to kill, not them."
After hearing this, Su Qing suddenly had an idea, and looked at Bai Feng. The two of them seemed to recall their previous conversation at the same time - if Su Qing was entangled by Mrs. Li, Bai Feng and others could escape on their own.
"Okay... okay, I can go with you." Before Su Qing finished speaking, his little sister Zi Chai said rudely: "No, I want to go with you too!"
"Master Su, how could you be tempted by such a frivolous woman! Have you forgotten Sister Chu Chu..."
Su Qing and Bai Feng had a secret affair, but the other two girls never knew it. Su Qing had to admit to her face that she was already married, and because her wife couldn't stand him taking risks all day long, she ran away secretly.
When Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, I never thought that Su Qing, who was handsome and unrestrained in the past, would be today? Is this karma? In the past, you left others behind and escaped secretly. Now, in exchange for It's because you were despised by your wife who is a loser. Brother Su, it seems that God arranged for you to come back to me."
"Enough talking, Mrs. Li." Su Qing, who usually loves to play and laugh, finally no longer feels so comfortable when talking about his former love affair and Mrs. Xiang. He pretended to be submissive to Mrs. Li's skirt, followed her inflated vanity, and said, "Please tell me, where are you going now?"
"Come on, let's go back to the room and rest."
"Yes." Su Qing did not hesitate, walked away, took the other person's hand, pushed open the bead curtain door, and was about to leave the pavilion. At this time, Mrs. Li did not forget to say a few words to several distinguished guests before leaving.
"I know what you are thinking. You must want to sneak away now, right? Then, with Brother Su's skills, he must be able to come and go by himself without any problem." Mrs. Li stood under the bead curtain and looked back. The three of them continued: "I advise you not to have such evil thoughts. I know who you are. As long as you don't disturb the affairs between me and Brother Su, I guarantee that you can leave safely and there will be no further problems." People dare to follow and hunt you."
This ultimatum-like announcement completely canceled Su Qing and Bai Feng's plans. It seems that they have to stay here for a while.
