Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

Time flies!

Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu had been on the boat for almost a month. During this period, except for Lin Daiyu who suffered from seasickness, nothing happened after being cured by Mu Xi. They arrived in Jinling smoothly.

Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu stood at the bow, looking at the bustling dock, and were very happy that they could finally land.

As soon as they docked, both of them were a little eager to get off the boat.

At this time, Butler Lai, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward.

"Greetings, my cousins. I am the housekeeper of the Jia family. The old lady has ordered me to wait for you here for a long time. Please follow me."

Old lady is a respectful title for Lady Jia.

Although Butler Lai looked respectful, there was actually a bit of contempt in his eyes and his attitude was somewhat casual.

When Lin Daiyu heard that it was someone sent by the old lady, she didn't know what to do for a moment and could only look at her sister with tears in her eyes.

When Mu Xi heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. This calculation was really a good one. If she went there now, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and nothing would be left.

At this time, Butler Kobayashi came forward with two maids!

Butler Xiao Lin said, "Miss, the Lin Mansion has been repaired. These two maids are Madam Mo and Madam Gu. They are maids from the Empress Dowager's palace. The master specially asked for them."

"Meet the county lady!"

As soon as Nanny Mo and Nanny Gu came forward, they bowed politely!

It also points out that Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu are of noble status.

Mu Xi helped the person up kindly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your courtesy, both maids. We two sisters will trouble you to give us more guidance in the future."

Lin Daiyu also followed suit and helped the nanny up.

Seeing that the new master was kind and respectful, Madam Mo and Madam Gu said, "Master, you are embarrassing us."

Butler Lai, who was standing by, felt a little angry when he saw that he was being ignored, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

He said respectfully, "My dear cousins, the old lady is still waiting at home. Please come back with me."

Mu Xi was a little surprised when she heard this. She thought that as long as the Lin family came, the housekeeper Lai would leave tactfully. Then she gave a look to the two maids, asking them to refuse, so that she would not be accused of being unfilial.

Nanny Gu stepped forward and answered loudly, "Is this housekeeper Lai? Our young lady has just arrived in Jinling and is exhausted from the journey. I'm sure the old lady feels sorry for her. Why don't you let her go back home and rest for a while, and then come to visit her another day with gifts."

Madam Mo also stepped forward and agreed, "Yes, our young lady is already very tired. The old lady loves the young generation so much, she must be reluctant to let our young lady drag her tired body to visit her."

Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu also showed an appropriate look of fatigue when they heard this.

After listening to it, the people around felt that there was no problem.

At this time, Mu Xi said softly, "Please ask Butler Lai to go back and tell the old lady that my granddaughter will visit her another day. She is too tired today."

"County Lady, I will take you back to the Lin Mansion to rest. The carriage is ready. Please get in."

Butler Xiao Lin also raised his voice and pointed out the identities of Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu.

When Butler Lai heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and his face turned pale and blue. He didn't expect that the two cousins ​​would directly refuse.

Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu ignored the ugly face of Butler Lai and got on the carriage and went back. Butler Xiao Lin still had to put away the things shipped back from Yangzhou Prefecture.

When the onlookers heard that the two young ladies were actually county princesses with noble status, and that the Jia family only sent a housekeeper to pick them up, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

Butler Lai could only watch Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu leave, and boxes of things slipped away from his sight, and he returned to the Jia Mansion angrily.

Grandmother Jia sat on the couch, enjoying the service of the maids comfortably, waiting for Butler Lai to bring back the good news.

Who would have thought that after listening to Butler Lai's exaggerated story, the man who was smiling just now now turned faceless and waved his hand casually to send everyone away.

Then he started to curse under his breath angrily.

"These two girls are not playing by the rules..."

Then, the voice said gloomily, "Go to the Lin Mansion and hand in a note to invite the two of them to stay for a few days."

When Nanny Lai heard this, she nodded and went to make the arrangements.

......

Lin Daiyu asked with some concern, "Sister, if we leave like this, will grandma be angry?"

Mu Xi smiled when she heard this, touched Lin Daiyu's little head, and said softly, "She will definitely be angry. But sister, do you want to live in the Jia Mansion?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head and retorted, "I don't want to. What good is it to live under someone else's roof? I'm just worried that someone will ruin our reputation."

Mu Xi spoke softly again, "Madame Gu and Madame Mo said it so loudly just now, just to prevent people from using this matter to accuse us of being unfilial. Sister, you can rest assured."

"Grrrrrr!"

The carriage moved forward slowly and soon returned to the Lin Mansion.

Both of them felt exhausted physically and mentally, so they went back to wash up and rest.

That night, Mu Xi saw the invitation in her hand and was speechless. How anxious was this old lady? She had already said that she would come to see her, but she couldn't wait to send her an invitation.

Then, Mu Xi called Lin Zilan and said, "Prepare some gifts for me, one for each master in the Jia family. Prepare larger gifts, such as colored glaze, which is not valuable to us but looks expensive, so you can prepare more..."

Lin Zilan left after hearing the instructions.

The next day, after Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu had a rest, they took several large carriages full of gifts and dozens of servants, and set off for the Jia Mansion in a magnificent carriage.

People passing by all leaned over to watch the fun.

"Whose lady is this? Why is she so grand?"

"And what are those things on this car?"

"This is the newly appointed county lady by the emperor. She should be going to the Jia Mansion."

"With so many gifts, these two cousins ​​are so kind to the Jia family."

......

Mu Xi's lips curled up slightly. She wanted everyone to know that she had given a lot of things to the Jia family.
