On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 264 Invitation

Mrs. Zhou looked disgusted: "Mrs. Li is a second-grade imperial concubine, how could she come out to see you?"

She really didn't expect that the eldest young master could fall in love with a girl from such a family?

As soon as they met, he stared at the gold jewelry he was wearing. It was so shameless.

After looking at everyone present, she finally looked at Xiao Xiu and forced a smile: "Is this Miss Xiao who saved my eldest son?"

Among the three young girls, Xiao Xiu is the taller among the short ones, so Xiao Xiu seems to be more polite and steady.

Xiao Xiu frowned in displeasure: "Since you are not Mrs. Li, it is really unruly for you to not get up."

Mrs. Zhou has lived for more than forty years, and this is the first time since she can remember that she has been pointed at her nose and scolded for being unruly.

This made her so angry that she almost jumped out of her armchair.

"You idiots who have no rules," Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she lost her mind. She jumped up and pointed at them and scolded them: "As long as I am here, you can't even think about entering the gate of Li's house, and don't dream about marrying the eldest son."

Xiao Xiao heard the meaning in her words and understood that Mrs. Li really wanted to stick to Li Yan.

She looked at Mrs. Zhou with a shocked look on her face: "Is it possible that you are Mr. Li's biological mother? Are you General Li's concubine? Only then can you be Mr. Li's mistress?"

"Little sister, you are overthinking," Xiao Lian curled her lips: "She can still be a concubine, unless the general is blind."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhou's blood was about to spurt out.

Although she was the main one among the people who came, if these words were spread to Mrs. Li's ears by the maids and guards.

Madam's jealous and petty mind will definitely make her angry and angry.

Xiao Xiao saw that her face was red with anger and her neck was thick, and her whole body was shaking, but she didn't rush forward to take action regardless of it. She felt in her heart that Li Fu should be a civilized person on the outside.

When Boss Xiao saw his youngest daughter winking at him, he finally spoke.

He glared at his daughters and scolded them angrily: "Shut up, I have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, so you won't be afraid of not being able to get married."

Then in a low voice that could be heard by Zhou's mother, she persuaded her daughters: "Your sister hasn't come in yet, so restrain yourself."

Then he smiled flatteringly at Zhou's mother: "They are still young and not sensible. Don't be the same as them. Sit down. Please sit down quickly. Let's sit down and talk."

Mother Zhou wondered in her heart what the eldest young master looked like, would he fall in love with a girl from such a family?
Then he defended the eldest son himself: in front of the eldest son, their family must have spoken softly and tried to please him in every possible way.

Anyway, Zhou's mother wanted to leave here immediately, and said angrily: "I wonder which girl saved my eldest son?"

"Madam specially asked me to pick up the girl who rescued my young master and go to Yuhang to stay for a few days."

"Miss Xiao, please come with me now?"

Whether it was before coming or when she stepped into the Xiao family's door, Zhou's mother thought she could get a lot of benefits this time.

The Xiao family can live in a two-bedroom house, so it must have some wealth. In order to help you speak well in front of your wife, why don't you give yourself some money?
But who would have thought that everyone in the Xiao family would be like scoundrels.

Not to mention asking for benefits, she was worried that if she stayed a little longer, the gold jewelry she was wearing would be snatched away by them.

It was really not that she looked down upon the Xiao family, but that the Xiao family father and daughter glanced at her head and sleeves from time to time with their sly eyes.

She was really afraid that they would lose control and come to snatch her.

Boss Xiao immediately said: "That's a good thing. Let's all go, and we can go to a big place to broaden our horizons." "No, there are many rules in the general's mansion. Madam only let Miss Xiao go." Mother Zhou didn't dare to bring so many People go back to eat at big houses.

Of course, the General's family has a huge business, so I'm not afraid that they will be defeated, but I'm afraid that they will be too embarrassed.

Xiao Xiao immediately became timid: "That won't work. I'm scared to go out alone. I want my aunt, second sister, and second brother to accompany me."

Seeing what Zhou's mother wanted to say, Xiao Xiao simply said: "If they don't go, then I won't go either."

If Zhou’s mother wanted to refute, she could only swallow it.

If you don't take the person back, you will be the one who gets scolded.

Besides, it was more appropriate to take her father there than to take her second sister and second brother.

She weighed it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, you guys hurry up and pack up. We'll set off later."

I'm afraid that the eldest son will come to stop him if he hears about it.

She finally understood why the eldest son was not exposed in the house. The Xiao family really couldn't do anything about it?
But the words that the eldest son taught him in private didn't sound like he wanted to hide it from Miss Xiao.

Therefore, she didn't dare to guess what her masters were thinking. No matter how much she guessed, she couldn't figure it out.

Mrs. Liu first went back to her room to get a thin cotton-padded jacket and asked her daughter to put it on: "I come from a poor family and have a rich life. I sewed a few gold leaves on the corners and cuffs of my clothes. Don't you throw away this clothes?"

Although silver notes are lighter to carry, they prefer gold and silver, which are practical and can be used at any time.

She did not forget to whisper: "Be careful when you go out. If anything goes wrong, run back quickly."

"Especially be careful when eating and drinking. The sisters should stay together and not be alone..."

Although they know that their daughters are very clever, their parents are always worried that they will be careless and talk endlessly.

After a while, Boss Xiao also walked in and asked in a low voice: "Do you need to bring your bow and arrows? You must bring your dagger. It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Be more careful when you go out."

He also specifically warned: "Can't you sleep in when you're out?"

A carriage also came from the Li Mansion, and the Xiao sisters didn't want to squeeze in with them, so they simply took their own carriage.

Under the carriage were a self-defense bow and arrow, snacks, a small stove, and a change of clothes. The most indispensable thing was a thick quilt.

The two sisters were quite warm as they lay huddled together. Xiao Erlang and Wu were in the same carriage as Zhou's mother and they were driven by two guards.

When they came here, they also paid attention to the inns on both sides of the official road and the places where they could find hotels and accommodation along the way.

So after it got dark, they finally arrived at the inn on the official road.

Nowadays, most inns receive people in the front, and the guards live there themselves. There are horse pens on both sides.

At the back is the room where officials and their families are accommodated.

Of course, it is said that money can make a fool of himself. As long as you are willing to give money, the poor man will also be willing to entertain you.

If Zhou's mother and the others had posted a message from the General's Mansion, they would definitely have been warmly received by the gentlemen at the inn.

It's a pity that on this trip, Madam repeatedly told them to be careful in their words and deeds, and not to let outsiders detect their whereabouts.

Therefore, the guard first went to the chai who was on duty and handed him five taels of silver: "Brother, please help me. We have a female family, please give them a small courtyard to settle down."
