Tianwai Feixian

Chapter 72
Qian Nanyi nodded, and followed Zhong Xiaowu into the room.

After receiving the order, the little maid began to bring the prepared meals from the small kitchen.

A good gruel, some pastries and a plate of hors d'oeuvres.

The seemingly simple food was extremely rich for Qian Nanyi.

The little maid was called out by Zhong Xiaowu after she prepared the meal.

He wanted to eat with Qian Nanyi, if the little maid was here, how could Qian Nanyi serve the meal.

Picking up the chopsticks, Qian Nanyi started to eat without any hesitation.

After eating, Qian Nanyi cleaned up all the dishes and chopsticks on the table, then washed them off, and then moved around in the yard.

Zhong Xiaowu came out in a sky-blue brocade suit, and a crown inlaid with emeralds on his head.

Seeing Zhong Xiaowu's handsome appearance, Qian Nanyi couldn't help but praise: "You said that you are so handsome even before you are an adult. If you become an adult in the future, wouldn't you attract girls' attention even more?"

Zhong Xiaowu didn't expect Qian Nanyi to say such a word suddenly, and said with some embarrassment: "Nanyi, you only know how to laugh at me, so what if I'm good-looking... let's not talk about this, I will take you to my mother's place, My mother prefers lively girls, after you go, you have to make my mother happy, you know."

Qian Nanyi nodded immediately: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, let's go, I plan to go out later."

Qian Nanyi didn't really come here to be a maid, she wanted to investigate who killed the old man, but she came to Tianling City with hatred.

"Then I will go out with you later." Zhong Xiaowu said with a smile.

The Xu family's courtyard is not far from Zhong Xiaowu, and it is also the largest courtyard of the Zhong family.

According to Zhong Xiaowu, there is a small pond in the courtyard.

When he came here last night, Qian Nanyi didn't pay much attention to the beautiful scenery in Zhong's courtyard.

Today I had a chance, and I looked around curiously.

The lake is actually very large and very long.

The courtyards are built around the lake, and there are gardens, pavilions, and pavilions beside the lake.

The Zhong family is really prosperous.

Qian Nanyi didn't feel much at first, but now seeing such a large courtyard of the Zhong family, and the maids coming and going, he was amazed.

This time, Zhong Xiaowu and Qian Nanyi did not take the corridor, but the bluestone path beside the lake.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Zhong Xiaowu brought Qian Nanyi to a courtyard with a vermilion gate.

In the middle of such a big house, suddenly seeing such a courtyard gives people the illusion that there is another family in the middle of the courtyard.

Zhong Xiaowu gently knocked on the copper ring on the door.

Qian Nanyi raised his head and looked at the plaque on the door.

"Luoqiuyuan, why is it called this name?" Qian Nanyi looked at Zhong Xiaowu curiously.

Zhong Xiaowu explained with a smile: "My mother's name is Xu Luoqiu. I heard from my mother that my father and I were deeply in love with each other back then, so my father changed this place into Luoqiu Courtyard with a wave of his hand. It is also the main courtyard of our Zhong family."

Zhong Xiaowu said that he didn't want to see his mother, but actually he missed him very much.

It can be seen from the expression now.

Qian Nanyi smiled slightly, but he did not expose Zhong Xiaowu.

It took a long time for the door to open.

A woman in her thirties, wearing blue cloth with embroidered plum blossom half-arms, looked at Zhong Xiaowu with joy and said, "Master is here, Madam was still talking about you just now."

Zhong Xiaowu's face was full of smiles, and he said to the woman, "Mother Lin, how is my mother?"

Nanny Lin smiled, the corners of her mouth kept curling up, it could be seen that Nanny Lin was very happy for Zhong Xiaowu's arrival.

"Okay, Ma'am is in good health, but she misses you very much. Just now you said that you haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know if you have forgotten her."

Zhong Xiaowu felt a little guilty: "It's all my fault, I will visit my mother often in the future."

Mother Lin is also a person who knows what to do.

Quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's stop standing outside and talk in the yard."

Qian Nanyi stood behind Zhong Xiaowu and followed Zhong Xiaowu into the courtyard.

Luoqiuyuan is really big.

Last night Qian Nanyi still thought that Zhong Xiaowu's courtyard was big, but now compared with Luoqiu Courtyard, it really pales in comparison.

As soon as Luoqiuyuan enters the courtyard, what you see are houses on three sides, and there is a small pond in the middle, and the small bridge and octagonal pavilion are built in the pond.

In the yard, except for a bluestone path that leads directly to the main house, the rest of the paths lead to places where you can sit and play.

The houses surrounded on three sides are connected by corridors. The carvings on the eaves and the red lanterns hanging under the eaves show the exquisiteness of this courtyard.

Qian Nanyi didn't dare to look at the yard too much. After all, it was her first time here, and she was still a little maid. It would be impolite to keep staring around.

Zhong Xiaowu had already walked up the corridor, but at this moment, Nanny Lin stretched out her hand to stop Qian Nanyi.

It can be said that Nanny Lin's attitude towards Qian Nanyi is very bad, she looks superior, and her eyes are a little sharp: "You just stand here and wait."

Qian Nanyi was stunned for a moment, and could tell that she was not kind from Nanny Lin's tone.

Zhong Xiaowu turned his head and frowned, and also noticed the change in Qian Nanyi's face.

He hurriedly said to Nanny Lin: "Don't worry, Nanny Lin, this is Nanyi, it's my good friend and has nothing to do with Aunt Liu and the others."

After hearing Zhong Xiaowu's explanation, Sister Lin's complexion improved a lot. She looked Qian Nanyi up and down, and said, "Since the young master has said so, then Nanyi, please follow me in. Madam likes to be quiet, so don't talk too much."

It can be seen that Nanny Lin is very loyal to Mrs. Xu, and she is still by Mrs. Xu's side at this age, maybe she is really a dowry maid.

And the reason Lin Nanny treated her badly just now was because Lin Nanny was afraid that she belonged to Aunt Liu.

Qian Nanyi understood.

Follow Zhong Xiaowu into the main room.

The layout here is similar to Zhong Xiaowu's main room.

The only difference is that the inside is very large and there are many chairs.

Mrs. Xu probably knew that Zhong Xiaowu was coming, and at this moment she was sitting on the soft couch in the main room, looking at Zhong Xiaowu with a smile on her face.

Qian Nanyi didn't pay much attention to the surrounding layout, but looked at Xu Shi curiously.

Mrs. Xu looks to be in her thirties, well maintained, no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, very good-looking, with willow brows, almond eyes and an oval face, and her facial features are similar to Zhong Xiaowu's. It can be seen that Zhong Xiaowu grew up with his beautiful mother.

Xu's feeling is very amiable, and gentle, in front of her, she can't afford to get angry at all.

Probably because Mrs. Xu seldom goes out and doesn't let outsiders in, so she dresses more casually.

The dark purple satin train is decorated with only one hosta on the head, which looks refreshing and comfortable.

Perhaps it was because Mrs. Xu often worshiped Buddha, the room was filled with a scent of sandalwood.

It's reassuring to smell like this.

As soon as Zhong Xiaowu entered the room, he knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Xu.

Qian Nanyi had no choice but to half-kneel behind Zhong Xiaowu.

When Zhong Xiaowu finished speaking, Xu smiled and let Zhong Xiaowu wake up.

Xu's voice is beautiful, like an oriole.

"Wu'er hasn't come to see mother for two months. I was just telling you, Mother Lin, if you forgot about mother, it seems that I was thinking too much, and we can be regarded as mother and child. How is Wu'er recently?"

These words made Zhong Xiaowu blush a little, after all he hadn't seen his mother for a long time.

Although Xu's words were not reproachful, they also meant disappointment.

"Mother, it's because Wu'er is not good. In the future, Wu'er will come to see mother often. By the way, mother, I will introduce you to a friend of mine."

After Zhong Xiaowu finished speaking, he looked back at Qian Nanyi, smiled slightly, and then said to Mrs. Xu: "Mother, this is Nanyi. Last time I came back, didn't it mean that I was robbed and rolled down a cliff? It was Nanyi who rescued me." Me, Nanyi’s family was in trouble. Not long ago, officers and soldiers robbed her family of food and burned the house. Her grandfather was also beaten to death by officials, so she was the only one left. I got along with Nanyi and wanted to make Nanyi Keep the clothes with you for now."

Xu's heart is kind, Qian Nanyi can see this.

Sure enough, when Xu Shi heard Zhong Xiaowu's words, he looked at Qian Nanyi with some pity.

Reaching out her hand, Mrs. Xu waved at Qian Nanyi, signaling Qian Nanyi to go over.

Qian Nanyi walked slowly to Xu's side, Xu stretched out his hand and stroked Qian Nanyi's head, feeling a little pity.

"Where are your parents, Nan Yi? And are there any other relatives in your family?"

Xu's voice was very soft, Qian Nanyi felt warm in her heart, she could feel that Xu was caring about her.

Qian Nanyi sighed and said: "My parents passed away a long time ago, and my family also suffered later. In fact, my grandfather is not my real grandfather. He picked me up when I was wandering. Grandpa was very kind to me. I treat her as my own granddaughter, but I don’t want to…”

Qian Nanyi's eyes were already red when he said this.

Zhong Xiaowu looked at Qian Nanyi with some surprise, Qian Nanyi had never told him these things.

He felt even more sympathetic to Qian Nanyi, he didn't know about these things.

Xu sighed, looked at Qian Nanyi with pity, and then took off the jade bracelet on his wrist.

"Nanyi, if you don't mind, just call me a godmother in the future, how about I be your relative?" Xu Shi couldn't help but put the jade bracelet on Qian Nanyi's wrist.

Zhong Xiaowu was a little anxious, if Qian Nanyi called Xu's godmother, Qian Nanyi would become his younger sister in the future.

"Mother, you can't do that." Zhong Xiaowu said with a blushing face.

Xu rolled her eyes at Zhong Xiaowu and said, "I'll do as long as I say, I like Nan Yi, and I agree, so don't say more."

Qian Nanyi was a little embarrassed at the moment.

It's not good to say you don't agree, and it's not good to say you agree.

She said those things to Xu's heart and soul just now, her starting point was to win Xu's sympathy, so that she could help Zhong Xiaowu speak.
