Chapter 282 Beauty is like a flower (19)
Xiao Xiao sat on the bed for a while, then sat next to the embroidery and started to pack up the things on the floor.
【Why was she sitting alone for so long just now? 】
【Perhaps you are feeling spring after hearing what your grandmother said about getting married? 】
【Or, she already has a sweetheart? 】
[I feel extremely sad when I think about not being able to be together if we get engaged...]
[What a sad and beautiful story, woo woo woo. 】
【If there is, that would be great! 】
【Hey, I know what you want upstairs. 】
【Hey, as long as you understand me! Tragic aesthetics is the eternal god! 】
After cleaning up the messy things on the floor, Xiaoxiao called the maids in to help her prepare a bath and wash herself.
The little girl's hair was untied, and her hair was like a waterfall, black and smooth, like silk.
The maid Chunxiao praised: "Miss, this hair is really good. The girls around other ladies came to ask us how we took care of you. We said that we didn't use anything else except jasmine oil. They said That look on his face, Suddenly...hehe."
Xiao Xiaojiao said: "What a mouthful."
She seemed to suddenly realize that a certain voice was missing, and looked around and asked: "Why can't you see Cai Ping? ?”
Caiping is the talkative maid just now. She is the most pushy in front of the young lady, so it is very obvious when she disappears.
Another maid, Tao'er, immediately came forward mysteriously.
"Caiping went to inquire about the news."
"The elder... something happened."
The more he spoke, the more exaggerated his tone became.
Xiaoxiao remembered the way her grandmother was hesitant to speak just now, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know yet, it seems to be related to the eldest young master." Taoer shook her head.
After Xiaoxiao finished bathing and sat in the room with her hair spread, Chunxiao helped dry it and apply jasmine oil, Caiping finally came back.
As soon as she entered the small hut, Caiping opened her mouth and said in shock: "Young master, I'm gone!"
"What?" Tao'er said in surprise.
Xiaoxiao also cast a curious look.
"Yes, he has gone to all the wine shops and brothels he usually likes to go to, and has disappeared. The young men he usually plays with have also asked, but there is still no news at all."
" Now all the housekeepers and servants have gone out to look for him," Caiping said excitedly, "There was a lot of crying in the long room, and it was said that the eldest lady even fainted from crying."
Everyone was shocked.
However, no one in the audience showed any concern about such a big event.
Including Xiaoxiao.
Some people even snorted with gloating.
"I see, this is retribution." Taoer said frankly.
Everyone looked at her. Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at her at this time.
"Taoer, stop talking..." Chunxiao reminded.
But Taoer finally had a good time and kept talking.
"Why can't you say that he bullied us enough? My sister was..."
Tao'er said, her eyes were red, and she clenched her hands into fists and squeezed them tightly. of.
"He treats us maids...that's all. He actually dares to look at us girls..."
As he spoke, his words were choked with sobs.
"I don't know what will happen to the young master, so don't say a word."
Chunxiao frowned and glanced secretly at his young lady.
Xiao Xiao lowered his head and curled his hair with his fingers, saying nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
......
On the second day, the whole house was in turmoil. It was said that the old lady fell down again because she was overly worried, and she even skipped morning and evening readings.
Xiaoxiao was quietly embroidering longevity pictures at home, seemingly not caring about anything.
However, in the afternoon, new news came.
Her father brought it.
Her father, Lu Shousheng, strode into her house.
His brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn.
"Your elder brother is dead." He said as soon as he came. Xiaoxing's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with disbelief on her face.
"How is it possible? This...it's common for my eldest brother to be away from home. He often doesn't go home for several days. Maybe he went somewhere to play, or maybe he waited for a few more days?"
Lu Shousheng stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "No We have to wait, his body has been found."
"And," Lu Shousheng looked at Xiaoxiao, as if he was worried about scaring her, and said cautiously, "All the limbs... that is, the hands and feet. Cut off and gone.”
As soon as these words came out, Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and he bit his lower lip. He was really frightened.
When Lu Shousheng saw this, his heart softened. He held her little body in his arms and patted her back gently to comfort her.
“Don’t be afraid, little heart, dad is here.”
The little fragrant and soft body was in his arms, he lowered his head and gently smelled the fragrance of jasmine in the little hair. .
"Dad, I'm fine." Xiaoxiao gently pushed Lu Shousheng away and lowered his head.
"You kid, don't pretend to be strong. I know you and your elder brother have always been good friends. If you are sad, just lean on dad's chest."
Lu Shousheng patted his chest and stretched out his strong chest muscles. Gotta snap.
Xiao Xiao looked at Lu Shousheng's strong chest muscles holding up the brocade robe, his face turned red and he looked away.
Lu Shousheng was very satisfied with this reaction.
He has always been confident in his own charm. Although he is getting older now, he has always paid attention to maintenance. He often plays ball, rides horses and dances with swords. With his temperament and temperament, he is also an elegant and handsome middle-aged handsome man who attracts attention when walking on the street.
If not, he wouldn't be able to have nearly twenty concubines, let alone countless confidants in the brothel.
Xiao Xiao’s eldest brother who just died regarded his second uncle as a role model in life.
Unfortunately, now he has no chance to learn from his second uncle.
"Anyway, you can follow your mother to the long house later to comfort your aunt, which will also help you and your eldest brother's brotherhood."
"Siniang Understood." Xiaoxiao nodded, his face very obedient.
Lu Shousheng was even more happy when he saw her hurtful look. He stretched out his hand and pinched her smooth and jade-like face.
......
After going to the eldest room and saying goodbye to her mother respectfully, Xiaoxiao took the food box to find her real mother.
To be precise, it should be Xiao Niang.
Since she is in the Lu family, the person who is qualified to be her mother is of course her aunt, who is Lu Shousheng's first wife.
Her mother, Rou Niang, can only be a little girl.
She couldn't figure this out at first, and she received a lot of cynicism, saying that she had grown up in a stinking ditch and had no education at all. Rou Niang was beaten and scolded for this.
From now on, Xiaoxiao dared not do it again.
Xiao Xiao came to Rou Niang’s house and saw Rou Niang embroidering a bellyband for her unborn brother.
As for why he is the younger brother, everyone says he is the younger brother, so naturally he can only be the younger brother.
"Little girl." Xiaoxiao called.
"Six Niang, you are here."
Hearing this, Rou Niang looked up and saw Xiao Xiao, she said lightly, then lowered her head to embroider on her bellyband seriously. The eyes of a little tiger.
The corners of his mouth curled up, showing a trace of kindness.
The two were quiet for a while before Xiao Xiao broke the silence.
"I made anti-fetal medicine for you."
"There is also some soothing soup for dad. Let it be heated and served to him tonight."
Rou Niang glanced at the food box, and asked the maid to bring out her bowl, and then asked the maid to take away the rest of the soothing soup, and then put it on the stove to heat up as Xiaoxiao said.
This is what he said without being salty.
"Six Niang is really serious. As usual, just let the servants deliver it. Why come in person?"
"Because, I have something to tell you." Xiaoxiao said seriously.
Rou Niang didn’t answer.
"You all go out." Xiaoxiao said to the nanny and maid serving Rou Niang in the room.
They looked at each other hesitantly, then looked at Rou Niang.
Rou Niang then raised her eyes and glanced at Xiaoxiao and said, "Is there anything you have to say that you must avoid saying to others?"
"It has something to do with him." Xiaoxiao said without any clue.
But Rou Niang understood and ordered: "You all go down."
