Chapter 2216: Spring is not too late
On the first night at Fang's house, Shi Li witnessed Fang Yu's absurdity very directly.
After dinner, when it was time to light the lamps, Shili took a walk in the yard to digest the food.
Just across the wall, one could hear the maids' laughter coming from Fang Yu's yard, mixed with Fang Yu's frivolous voice.
Although not every sentence was clear, there were always three or five out of ten sentences that reached Shi Li's ears.
This step, it’s better not to disperse!
Shi Li was very depressed and turned back into the house.
However, the weirdo from the Fang family was not going to let her go.
There was a faint knock on the door outside. Qiu Zi walked out puzzledly, wondering who would come to bother her at this time.
"Who's outside?" She approached the door.
Then Fang Yu's voice was heard, "It's me. It's the first day that cousin Li comes here. She hasn't talked well yet. I came to see my cousin."
Qiu Zi clenched her teeth tightly for the second time today, took a deep breath, and replied, "Our girl just went to bed. When she gets up tomorrow, I will tell you that you are thinking about her."
"Ah? She went to bed so early?" Fang Yu's voice was full of disappointment, and then he said, "Then let me go in and take a look. I won't disturb her, I just want to take a look."
Qiu Zi: ...
She is such a pretty girl, but the veins on her forehead are almost popping out.
But he still had to be patient and perfunctory, "Mr. Fang, please go back. It is really inconvenient to invite you to visit at this time."
After saying this, fearing that Fang Yu would continue to pester him, he deliberately walked back into the house with heavy steps.
Fang Yu wanted to knock on the door, but when he heard footsteps, he had to put down his hand in disappointment and returned to the yard next door with his head down.
The maids in the yard were laughing and making noises. When they saw him coming back, they wanted to pull them to play with them, but he pushed them away with a dull look and went back to his room alone.
When the maid saw this unusual look, she thought that Shi Li had said something bad to him. Her eyes turned slightly, and she had a little more prejudice against Shi Li in her heart.
The maids felt that Shi Li looked down on them because she came, and was far less friendly to them than Zhao Qianyue was usually.
Qiu Zi walked back into the house, and Shi Li immediately asked, "Leaving?"
"Let's go." Qiu Zi assured her, and then she couldn't help but whispered, "I've never seen such an unruly family."
Shi Li first made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and then the master and servant looked at each other, blinked, and smiled together in tacit understanding.
The next day, the weather was fine and the wind was gentle.
Shi Li immediately asked Qiu Zi to find Zhao Qianyue and told her that she was going out.
Hearing that Shi Li was going out, Zhao Qianyue of course asked her where she was going. After knowing that she was going to visit Ming Mansion, the expression on her face revealed a little complexity.
"That's good, of course. Have someone harness the carriage and ask the old women and maids to go with Sister Li. Don't be negligent." Zhao Qianyue spoke tactfully and appropriately, acting like the mistress of the house.
Qiu Zi didn't care and told Shi Li happily when she came back.
As long as she can go out, Zhao Qianyue can dress however she likes.
"Then let's pack up and get ready to leave."
Shi Li was very active and had prepared a lot of gifts for Madam Ming when he was in Jiangnan. Now he asked the maids to pack them up and load them all onto the carriage.
Everything was ready. Shi Li led the maids out, passed through the carved corridor, and came to the second door.
Then he was stopped by an old woman who was running breathlessly.
"Cousin! Cousin!"
The old woman stopped in front of Shi Li and said with a smile, "The old lady just woke up and kept talking about wanting to see the young lady. Everyone else was driven out and she refused to even drink a cup of tea! Young lady, please be kind and go see the old lady first! This is urgent!"
Shi Li stopped helplessly and looked at the old woman's face.
No matter whether what she said was true or false, she couldn't just walk out of the second door without caring.
But I was really holding my breath.
"Of course I have to go see my grandmother first." Shi Li endured it again and again, and just turned her head to Qiu Zi and said, "Go to the Ming Mansion for me first, give the gift to Madam Ming, and then tell her that I will go to apologize another day."
"Yes."
After giving the instructions, Shi Li pretended nothing had happened and followed the old woman, turning around and heading back to Madam Fang's room.
I don’t know whether it was true or not, but everyone in the yard was really driven out and stood in a row outside the door, including Mrs. Fang and Zhao Qianyue.
Both of them looked unhappy, and they forced a smile when they saw Shi Li.
"Sister Li, please go in quickly. The old lady is waiting for you." There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhao Qianyue's voice that was hard to conceal.
