On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 291 Tea Serving 4
"Girl," as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Menghui knew that she had called her by the wrong name again, and quickly changed her words: "Young lady, we have guests."

Xiao Xiao used the excuse of changing clothes to lie down on the imperial concubine's bed when she came back, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Although it was calm last night and nothing tiring happened, in the past two days, her married sisters came back to make trouble for her.

The eldest sister was just fine. She was pregnant. Not only the Jiang family, but also her own mother had repeatedly warned the eldest sister not to sleep with them.

It was said that they were not sleeping well and it would be bad if they touched her belly.

Since the eldest sister was not here, Xiao Lian had no scruples and told her about the inner chambers of the Chen Mansion.

It was said that Chen Er's biological mother and aunt were not very enthusiastic towards her at first, but when she saw her always going to Mrs. Chen's yard, she was afraid that she would forget that she was Chen Er's biological mother, so she often walked around in their yard again.

There is also Mrs. Chen who looks nice, but will also get angry at County Magistrate Chen and slam the table.

In addition, she was already on good terms with her sister-in-law Mochou, and she would teach Mochou archery in her spare time.

There is also Mr. Chen's biological mother, Aunt Wu, who may have thought that Mochou was Mrs. Chen's niece and was definitely not something she could win over, so she actually wanted the maid next to her to be her son's mistress.

Mochou almost went back to her parents' home so angry.

Fortunately, she helped with advice, and Mochou turned from anger to happiness and breathed a sigh of relief...

Anyway, Xiao Lian turned into a chatterbox and kept talking to her.

Xiao Xiao couldn't deny that listening to what the second sister said was more interesting than reading a storybook. He was also very excited, so he didn't sleep well for several nights.

Now that she was asked to deal with the people in the Li Mansion, she would rather come back and take a nap.

So when the maid said that a guest was coming, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to get up and muttered: "I originally thought that if I couldn't afford to offend him, I would hide away, but I didn't expect that I even hid in my own yard, and I didn't give up."

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

Yiqing, who came in with water, heard her words and quickly whispered: "Girl, you must not mess around. Is this the general's mansion?"

"The people inside are all good at martial arts, and your skills are incomparable to others."

Xiao Xiao gave her a look: "You damn girl knows how to tell the truth."

He also reminded her specifically: "You called me wrong again before. If I hear you call me girl again, if you call me girl by mistake, you will be fined one or two silver coins."

Yiqing took a breath of cold air: "We only have two taels of silver a month? If we make a mistake three times, will we have to give it to you instead?"

"Thank you for reminding me that this is really a good way to make money." Xiao Xiao also specially added: "I am doing this for your own good and letting you know the importance of being careful in your words and deeds."

Menghui beside her couldn't help but ask: "Yiqing, who is coming outside?"

She suspected that if she didn't remind the girl and Yiqing, she would forget about the guests outside.

Yiqing also came to her senses: "She is the daughter of the concubine of the madam's mother's family. Her surname is Xue. Mother Hu and Mother Yan are accompanying her in the front hall now."

Not only to accompany the uninvited guest, but also to take the opportunity to find out the purpose of Miss Xue's visit when she inquired about her.

Xiao Xiao let the two maids tidy up briefly for him, drank a cup of scented tea, and then went to the front hall to meet the guests.

Miss Xue is the daughter of Chengmen school captain.

The captain of the city gate didn't sound very nice, and he didn't sound like a serious official.

But in fact, he has real power in his hands. Yuhang's Chengmen Xiaowei and Sanfasi Yamen kept each other in check, lest one dominant family endanger the safety of their master.

Therefore, even though there is constant war outside, the public security in Yuhangli is still very good under their maintenance.

Xiao Xiao stepped into the hall and saw Miss Xue sitting there with a reserved look on her face.

The moment he saw Miss Xue, what Xiao Xiao was thinking was: Fortunately, because her surname was Xue, she had more expectations. Did she think she could see Miss Xue who looked like she was walking out of a red building?
It's a pity that this Miss Xue, although her eyebrows are pretty, her skin is fair, and she looks pretty, she doesn't have the beauty of plumpness.

Of course, this Miss Xue can be considered good-looking even if she is not compared with the Miss Xue from the Red Mansion in her memory.

"Miss Xue," Xiao Xiao just greeted her politely and sat at the top: "I wonder what brings you here?"

This person who is neither a relative nor an acquaintance cannot come to recognize him as a relative.

Moreover, she is also a guest of Mrs. Li, so it is even less likely that she is here to get close to him.

She did not dare to be disrespectful to her mother-in-law in name only, but she could not treat her relatives as good-tempered as her mother-in-law.

Xue Yingying is the eldest daughter in the family, and she is also loved by her parents at home.

After she met Li Ji, she also wanted to marry him.

It's a pity that this sweet dream is easy to wake up from. Before he could tell his mother, his aunt decided to marry Li Ji's cousin.

Her girlish thoughts were forced to die young.

She also got engaged the year before last, but she didn't expect that the marriage between her uncle's cousin and her aunt's eldest cousin would fall through.

God knows how much she wants to regret her marriage.

But before she could speak, she heard that her eldest cousin had made an engagement.

The other party was still an ordinary farm girl. Just because she saved her injured cousin, she got the good marriage she had always dreamed of.

She has been enduring it until now, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore and came to see her.

Even if she has no hope of marrying her eldest cousin, she still wants to have something to do with her eldest cousin.

Therefore, she specially brought her mother to her future husband's maid, and said to Xiao Xiao: "I have a good relationship with my eldest cousin, and I was very happy when I heard that he was getting married, so I specially prepared it for my eldest cousin. A gift.”

Xiao Xiao didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

She reflected for a moment and felt that if she could not overwhelm a boatload of people with one pole in the future, how could this bad bamboo produce good bamboo shoots?

She really didn't expect that Li Yan and his aunt's relatives would have a good relationship in private, and the girl would even send them gifts.

I don’t know if it’s gold, silver or jewelry?
"Miss Xue is so polite." Xiao Xiao followed her eyes and said, "Then I will ask someone to invite your husband back."

There was no box or anything on the table or in the hand of the maid beside her. Could it be that she was an honest person and what she gave was a very affordable banknote?
"There is no need to invite the eldest cousin." Xue Yingying quickly stopped: "Since you are already married to the eldest cousin, you can just give me this gift."

After that, he looked at a maid with a low eyebrow and said: "Linglong is a girl who knows the rules and etiquette. My eldest cousin likes her very much. From now on, I will let Linglong serve my eldest cousin."

Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched after hearing this. She had already been prepared in her heart. She had thought about what she would do if her aunt or other elders wanted to give her man a woman.

But he never expected that a cousin would appear out of nowhere to serve him.

She didn't turn her face, but stared at the maid with her head lowered: "Lift it up so I can see?"
