Chapter 281 Beauty is like a flower (18)
Sit down for a while and drink two cups of tea, then Xiaoxiao left with his maid.
"Siniang, are you going to study with Miss Liu again?"
As soon as he returned to the Lu family, Xiaoxiao immediately went to the old lady's room and helped the old lady beat her legs and shoulders. While admiring the small and unique technique, he asked casually.
“Yes, grandma, Sister Liu is very talented, but my granddaughter is clumsy and can’t understand many of them.”
"If you don't understand, then learn more. I don't object to you getting close to Miss Liu. Her name as a miracle doctor is also well-known far and wide. I heard that there are nobles even in the capital to inquire about her and want to invite her to the capital for medical treatment, but She is unwilling and doesn’t know why she is in our small place." The old lady shook her head and sighed.
Xiao Xiao smiled deeply and replied: "Sister Liu is a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth. She was born and raised here, so she wants to repay the local people, especially the poor people in Qingshui. She doesn't charge a penny. Healing..."
"Okay, don't talk about that." The old lady was not happy when she heard the dirty spot in the water, so she stopped talking.
She pressed her temples, looking particularly tired.
"Yes, grandma." Xiaoxiao became quiet and just massaged silently.
The old man Zhang Ma, who was serving the old lady next to her, saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and said: "The fourth girl is also filial. Because of the young lady's illness, she went to various medical clinics in the city to seek help from famous doctors. As a result, those who had no courage said they did not dare to treat her. That’s why Miss Liu came boldly.”
“Who would have thought, oh, it really happened.”
Mother Zhang said it so vividly that she also made the old lady laugh.
In Zhang’s mother’s opinion, the old lady was still the young lady who had not left the government, and she had not been able to change her words for most of her life.
The two have an unusual friendship, and the old lady naturally attaches great importance to Zhang Ma’s words.
"Yes, Miss Liu was only a teenager at that time, and she was still a little girl. She had such courage. Fusheng and Shousheng originally said that they would send her out as a liar." The old lady recalled the situation at that time and shook her head with a smile. shook his head.
"Of course, thanks to the young lady's sharp eyesight, I can actually see that Miss Liu is extraordinary and is willing to use her." Zhang Ma joked.
Xiao Xiao also nodded: "Grandma is still brave and wise, and she is willing to give Sister Liu a chance."
"You, little slippery man, it wasn't you who said you were willing to use My life is guaranteed, you forced me." The old lady nodded her forehead and said with a smile.
"Six Niang didn't dare, it was my grandmother who made the decision, and it was God's will. She wanted her to live a long life."
Xiao Xiao's pleasant words made the old lady and Zhang Ma look at each other and smile.
Then Xiaoxiao took off his shoes and socks again, knelt on the soft couch and gently pressed the old lady's temples.
The old lady closed her eyes and enjoyed it, sighing in comfort.
She can't live without Xiaoxiao now.
Although Xiaoxiao is not her biological granddaughter, she is well-behaved and obedient, and is willing to coax her to serve her. Who can not like her?
Moreover, how can her biological grandchildren and pampered young masters and ladies be allowed to do these things of serving others?
"You said those brothers and sisters of yours would be as worry-free as you are."
The old lady was closing her eyes to rest, but she didn't know what she thought of, and her brows furrowed.
The small and tender hand gently brushed the old lady's brow: "Grandma, don't frown, you will get wrinkles."
"You kid, you are so good at telling lies, grandma's face His face is already full of wrinkles.”
"Grandma doesn't look old at all, and my granddaughter didn't lie."
The old lady knew that Xiao Xiaoxiao was just saying words of relief, but she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Ma Zhang also smiled: "Miss, she does look young. Maybe it's because her children and grandchildren are filial and don't worry too much."
"Hey, you're here to bluff me too, why not Worried?" The old lady sighed, "There is no news from the long house..."
Halfway through, Zhang Ma coughed lightly.
The old lady saw Zhang Ma's eyes drifting towards Xiaoxiao behind her, and knew what Zhang Ma meant, so she didn't say anything further.
Xiao Xiao seemed not to have heard anything, and just concentrated on massaging various acupuncture points on the old lady's head.
That’s what the old lady likes about her. She is smart but doesn’t show off her intelligence.
This granddaughter is outstanding in appearance and smart and well-behaved, but she is not too young. The old lady thought of those dirty looks and thought it would not be good to leave her here any longer.
The old lady's mind changed and she said: "But, Si Niang, you should calm down and stop running away all the time."
Xiaoxiao didn't speak, quietly waiting for what the old lady would say next.
“You are old now, and we can start arranging your marriage.”
“Yes, grandma.”
The old lady heard Xiao Xiao’s sweet answer, His heart softened, he pulled her to his side, looked at Xiao Xiao's obedient appearance and said, "You have to remember that grandma is doing it for your own good." "When you get married, having a husband to protect you can save you a lot of trouble. ”
"You don't know how many evil things there are in this world." Seeing Xiaoxiao's confused face, the old lady emphasized her tone even more, "Do you still remember the girl from the Wang family who played with you when you were a child?"
Xiaoxiao nodded: "Remember, Sister Jia."
"She disobeyed her parents and had a secret meeting with a poor man, and the result was a dark knot..."
"Grandma, What should I do about this?" Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.
"What can we do? The man is not willing to marry her, let alone marry her into a wife. The Wang family can only lock her in a house in the country, and send her to a nunnery when the child is born."
The old lady looked at her small eyes and opened them even wider, full of shock and confusion. When she looked in again, a trace of coldness passed through them, but it seemed like her illusion.
"So, women should take care of their bodies and be pure and innocent." The old lady said at last.
......
At night, Xiaoxiao accompanied the old lady to eat some porridge and waited for the old lady to rest before leaving.
Back in his house, Xiao Xiao glanced at the two maids sweeping the yard and asked, "No one has touched my house, right?"
"No, miss, you ordered no one to come in." A lively-looking maidservant said.
Xiao Xiao smiled gently: "Okay, I was making a longevity picture for my grandmother yesterday. It would be bad if you went in and messed up my bead embroidery thread."
"Miss, we absolutely don't dare." The quick-tongued maid said first.
Other maids also expressed their fear.
The lady looks gentle and gentle, with a kind-hearted temperament, but somehow, she makes people awe and dare not make mistakes.
Xiaoxiao looked around before opening the door and entering.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw indeed that there was a huge embroidered table on the floor. On the table was a huge piece of red silk with the Chinese character "Shou" half embroidered on it. There were few beads and embroidery threads scattered on the ground.
Go further inside and lift the curtain, which is her embroidery bed.
The body that originally lay on it was gone.
As if it was just her imagination.
Xiaoxiao slowly approached.
Under the layers of red gauze, the water-red brocade quilt is spread smoothly, as if it is brand new.
Xiao Xiao sat on the bed and gently stroked the surface of the brocade quilt.
Remembering the morning, the body was already slightly stiff, lying on her quilt, and the quilt sunk a little.
The thick blood spread on the water-red quilt. After a night, it has darkened, condensed into a dark color, and turned into a deep black pattern.
It's a nice pattern.
But at this time, all this no longer exists.
Even the strong smell of blood in the air disappeared.
Xiao Xiao smiled softly and stroked the quilt.
Suddenly, the smile on his face froze, and his hand froze, as if he had touched something.
Her green onion-like fingers gently picked at it.
A small hard piece, pick out a few crumbs.
Lift up your index finger, and there are some black chips in the tip of the pink petal-like nail.
Putting it to your nose, you can smell the familiar smell of blood.
Light and greedy.
She lowered her head and took a closer look. On the water-red brocade quilt, there was a dark circular mark the size of a fingernail.
Inconspicuous, you can completely ignore the past.
But Xiaoxiao knew that it was blood stains.
