I promise

Chapter 31
Li Xiaoxiao came in the afternoon.

When Mother Zhao knocked on the door to report, Mu Dian was taken aback for a moment.She and Li Xiaoxiao only met each other and had no friendship. She met danger at Liu's house in the morning, and Li Xiaoxiao came over in the afternoon.

There is only one possibility, Chang Qianfo invited her here.

Everyone has arrived, so of course we can't close the door to thank the guests.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't have the habit of taking her maids with her when she went out. She held two carved mahogany boxes in her hands and asked Mother Zhao to lead the way in. She said with a smile: "I heard that the third lady is a little bit unlucky today, so I'll bring some small things here , See if you can get rid of the bad luck, Miss Bo San smiles?"

She didn't wear a red dress today, but a sapphire blue dress.The simple style, worn on her body, has an atmosphere for no reason.

Li Xiaoxiao bent down and put the box on the long table under Mu Dianke's feet, took the teacup from the servant girl, and said with a friendly smile, "Thank you."

The little maid was overwhelmed by flattery, it was only natural for a servant to serve tea to her master and guests, how had she ever received such sincere thanks?Immediately blushing with excitement, he said: "Where is Miss Li, a servant should do it."

Xiaoye has been reading a lot of chatterbooks recently, so she blurted out: "King Zhou You wanted to make his concubine smile, and the beacon fire played the princes, what did Miss Li bring to make Miss San smile?"

Mu Dianke reprimanded lightly: "Xiaoye, you're being rude."

Li Xiaoxiao didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "I heard that the third lady loves to read books and is very knowledgeable. As expected, even the little girl next to her has ink in her belly, and she also knows the allusions of the princes in Fenghuo Opera."

Xiao Ye Mian said shyly, "I just learned it."

Mu Dian laughed and said: "She sees it by herself, I haven't taught her much."

Xiaoye hurriedly corrected: "Why didn't Miss San teach me? I never went to school, if Miss San didn't teach me how to read, I wouldn't even know what was written in the book."

Mu Dian didn't have the nerve to tell Xiaoye that he taught her to read because he thought she was noisy, so that she could read quietly while reading without disturbing her.

But later, she really liked this little girl, and she really taught her with all her heart.

Li Xiaoxiao took out the box below, handed it to Xiaoye and said, "This is for you."

Xiaoye was taken aback: "And mine?"

Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Of course, you can open it and have a look.

Xiaoye couldn't wait to open the box, and saw a box of Chen Ji's snacks neatly packed in a large wooden box that was two feet long and one foot wide.There are plums stained with icing sugar, golden silk milk rolls, wild jujube cakes, wine heart candies, one by one, the classification codes are open, colorful, really beautiful.

Xiaoye yelled happily: "There are plums and Jiuxin candy. This candy is the best, but it's so expensive. I'm reluctant to buy it every time." She excitedly grabbed Li Xiaoxiao's hand and shook it: " Miss Li, you are really kind."

One was so excited that it hurt, and he couldn't help but "ah yo".

Li Xiaoxiao was shaken so much that the tea in her hand was spilled, and said with a smile: "If you like it so much, I will buy you some more next time. I see these candies are beautiful in red and green, and I always like to buy them. I was born to myself and I don’t like to eat, so I’m taking advantage of you.”

Xiaoye was so happy that her eyes lit up, she searched her brains for a long time to find adjectives, and finally had to say it again sincerely: "Miss Li, you are so kind!"

This time Mu Dianke also laughed.

Li Xiaoxiao reached out and opened the smaller box.I saw a set of eight dolls carved out of yellow stones in the box. There were males and females, fat and thin, with different expressions and lifelike.Xiaoye couldn't help but let out an exclamation, leaned over to touch it, and said, "What a cute little doll, where did you buy it, Ms. Li? How could someone have such skillful hands?"

Xiaoye was amazed at the workmanship of the doll.Mu Dianke knows good things.

Although the doll is exquisitely carved, the most precious thing is not the ingenious craftsmanship, but the material used to carve the doll.The material of the doll looks like a stone at first glance, but it is actually jade, and it is a high-quality jade, named Dragon Saliva, which has the miraculous effect of dispelling cold and warming the mind, calming the mind and calming the mind.

When Mu Dianke was two years old, Jin Zhenyue gave her a jade pendant in the shape of a small dragon, which was made of ambergris jade.She wears it all the time.

On the night of the fire in Julin Court, Ah Ku said she wanted to eat steamed buns. She had nothing, so she took the jade pendant to Zhenrong Steamed Bun Shop and exchanged for twenty steamed buns.Later, she sent someone back to Luoyang to look for it. The owner of the bun shop had passed away, and the jade pendant was nowhere to be found.

Li Xiaoxiao looked up at Mu Dianke with a smile and said, "I don't know what the third lady likes. Last time I saw that the third lady couldn't put it down for the stone doll that Xiaoye took back, so I just hid and gave it away."

Mu Dianke said: "Miss Li is such a big gift, how dare Yunlin accept it?"

Li Xiaoxiao didn't know that Mu Dian could recognize dragon saliva jade, thought she was just being polite, and said with a smile: "It's just something carved in stone, it's worthless. The third lady helped Yiluo untie the big siege, and he often talked to me about it." Just talking about it. It’s just a coincidence that Yi Luo happened to be busy today, so he couldn’t come to thank Miss San in person.”

Mu Dian is not stupid.This kind of priceless thing cannot be obtained by the poor sect of the Nanshan sect who protects agriculture and guards the military.

Besides, with Han Yiluo's unrestrained temperament, would he want to get the gift?
Although Li Xiaoxiao is the daughter of the head of Chongdetang, he doesn't have such a skill.

Since it was Chang Qianfo who asked Li Xiaoxiao to come, naturally he also asked Li Xiaoxiao to bring the ceremony.At the moment, there is a strange feeling in my heart, I can't explain it clearly, it's lingering, it seems to be... joy?
Mu Dianke was startled, and hurriedly suppressed his absurd thought. Just as he was about to speak, Li Xiaoxiao said again: "I think the third lady is dressed thicker than ordinary people, and I want to be afraid of the cold. Although this doll is not worth much However, it has a very rare benefit, that is, it can absorb the cold air in the human body and drive the cold to heat up. I am a stove, and I wear more clothes in heavy snow days, and my palms sweat. A useless decoration, really a waste, but the third lady just needs it. Put one in your sleeve when you go out on weekdays, or put one next to your body when you sleep at night, and keep your body warm all day long."

Mu Dian still wanted to decline, but Li Xiaoxiao said, "It's rare for me to give you a second gift, Miss San won't let me take it back as it is?"

If the gift cannot be sent out, it will be difficult for Chang Qianfo to do business.

Ever since Mu Dian entered Gusu, he was frequently forced to accept gifts, gifts from Qin Yuemei and Liu Xinyuan, she really didn't want them.But this time, I was also moved.

There are two voices in my heart, neither will let the other.Let's say it together, it's too unreasonable to evade it after some good intentions.Another said, Mu Si, are you confused? What kind of person is Chang Jiabao, and what kind of person is Chang Jihai? How dare you provoke him?
He hesitated and struggled for a long time.

Xiaoye looked at her anxiously, and said, "Miss San, just accept it, look at how cute these dolls are."

She could see that Miss San really liked this gift, she must have been embarrassed to take Li Xiaoxiao's things, so she hesitated so much, and said, "Why don't we give Miss Li a gift too."

Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "That's a good idea."

What a surprise!

Mu Dian choked for a moment.This Ms. Li is too... a little informal.

To shirk any longer would be twitchy and too hypocritical.Mu Dianke said: "Then I would like to thank Miss Li."

Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "You are welcome. Although I have only met Miss San a few times, I feel close to Miss San when I see her. I already regard you as a friend. If Miss San says something like this again, it means that she is deliberately separated from me." .”

Li Xiaoxiao's words were so blushing that her heart skipped a beat, she was taken aback by herself.

She has a lively and cheerful personality, and she doesn't really like or dislike Mu Dianke's gentle manner.The relationship between the two sides, the impression is only that this woman doesn't talk much, and she looks good.

As for kindness, that is talking nonsense with open eyes.

Mu Dianke said: "I don't know what Miss Li likes..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao interrupted her: "If Miss San is willing, how about I choose one myself?"

Xiaoye and Li Xiaoxiao are like bosom friends in high mountains and rivers, and they immediately echoed happily: "That's the best, save the third lady who has to bother to think about it, and Miss Li doesn't like it."

Mu Dian couldn't intervene, so he bowed his head as acquiescence.

Li Xiaoxiao picked up a book on the low table, opened the pages, and took out a bamboo bookmark from it.

The bookmark is a thin piece, carved into a flower-wrapped pattern, which is quite delicate.Bamboo fragrance can be vaguely smelled.

Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "This bookmark is made uniquely. I have the cheek to ask Miss San for it. I wonder if Miss San will give it?"

Mu Dianke was about to speak, when Xiaoye said proudly: "Of course, this bookmark was made by my third lady herself."

Li Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Miss San can still make bookmarks?"

Mu Dianke was a little embarrassed by Li Xiaoxiao's reaction, and said with a blushing expression: "I have nothing to do, it's fun to do."

She's definitely not doing bookmarks for fun.It was after the hands were soaked in the potion that the newly born hands were too perfect and flawless, so she would hold a piece of emery cloth in her hand every day to grind bamboo slices and carve bookmarks.After grinding hundreds of pieces of bamboo back and forth, the hands became a little rougher, making them less noticeable.

Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Since the third lady made it herself, I will not be polite. A thousand gold is not worth the price of affection. What else can be more precious and more real than this gift?"

Xiaoye nodded again and again, thinking that Ms. Li is really a real person who values ​​love and righteousness, and what she said is so reasonable.

What else can Mu Dian say?
Li Xiaoxiao sat until it was dark before getting up and leaving.

When she was young, she often traveled abroad with Chang Qianfo and Li An'an, as short as three or two months, as long as a year and a half.Traveling all over the world, the more places you have been to, the more new things you have seen.

Li Xiaoxiao is also a very expressive person.Telling the story vividly, using both hands and feet, coupled with vivid expressions, is really wonderful and fascinating.

Xiaoye didn't even blink her eyes when she heard it.

Before you know it, it will be dusk.

Li Xiaoxiao got up to leave, and his words were quite enlightening to Mu Dianke: "I heard what happened at Liu's house today. I heard my father say something about it. Since the third lady is safe, just treat it as being bitten by a dog, don't let it go. In my heart."

Xiaoye repeatedly echoed: "Yes, yes, Miss Li is right. Liu Xinyuan is a dog, a big vicious dog."
