Chapter 156 One Hundred and Fifty-Six



He immediately became alert and touched a carved block in his hand.

Xu Hao noticed his scrutinizing gaze and quickly turned around and hurried out the door.

Liang Mo chased after him, but saw that he had already run to the alley entrance and disappeared after turning a corner.

Could it really be him?

Liang Mo stood at the door for a long time. When he didn't see any suspicious people, he went back to the house to continue packing.

Before he was about to lock the door, he checked the bolt as usual. Uncle Jackal wagged his tail at him. He rubbed the dog's head and said, "Watch the house carefully."

Uncle Jackal called out twice in response.

Thinking of the man just now, Liang Mo always felt uneasy, always feeling that the man was Xu Si.

As soon as Xu Jiang left, he came to the door. It seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time.

Liang Mo looked at the wall. He clearly heard some noise outside the wall yesterday. Later, there was news that a thief was chased away by a dog. Could that be him?

Uncle Jackal arched his hand, Liang Mo came back to his senses and touched it, and after feeling the collar around its neck, he reached out and untied it.

Zhaoxingfang, a building.

The carriage stopped in front of the house. Liu Mei, who was looking out the door, hurried forward and helped Xu Jiang down personally. Then she asked Yin Yin and the servant to get the things.

"Finally you're here." Liu Mei saw her face flush slightly and quickly took out a handkerchief to blow away the heat on her. "Are you hot?"

"A little." Xu Jiang stopped by the breakfast vendor's shop on her way here. His shop had two or three stoves, which kept it warm in the winter, but in the summer it was so hot it almost turned into a pancake. She and Yinyin had only been there for a moment, and they were already sweating profusely.

The father and son stayed there for years and luckily they managed to hold on.

It can be seen that even in times of peace and prosperity, it is not easy for the people to make a living, let alone in times of chaos?

Xu Jiang looked at the half-open door of the building and asked, "Is your young master back?"

"No, the master hasn't come back yet. He should be back soon." Liu Mei touched her forehead, "The injury looks much better."

Xu Jiang also raised his hand and touched it, then said with a smile, "The injury wasn't serious, it just looked scary."

"How much more serious would it be?" Liu Mei asked angrily, "You were so feverish that night that you were delirious. If it was any more serious, you might have been knocked stupid."

Xu Jiang clasped her hands together and thanked the heavens, "Thanks to God for blessing me." Then she bowed to Liu Mei and said, "Thank you, Madam Liu and Yin Yin, for taking care of me."

Liu Mei couldn't help it and pinched her twice with a smile.

Xu Jiang held her hand and said, "I made some cakes today and brought you some too. Try them later."

"Okay, thank you for being thoughtful." Or rather, if we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same house.

The owners of this building have always been kind to their subordinates, and the bride who is about to marry into the family is also so kind. It is their blessing to marry into such a family.

Liu Mei felt that her hand was a little hot. Afraid that she would get too hot, she pulled her into the house and went straight to the inner house.

Passing by the garden, which was shaded by flowers and trees and swarms of bees and butterflies, it looked bustling with activity. When they reached the second gate, the little maid saw Xu Jiang coming and hurried back to the yard to report the news.

After a while, Mrs. Lou came out in person and extended her hand to her.

When Xu Jiang met her gentle gaze, the uneasiness in his heart instantly disappeared, and he quickly stepped forward and held her hand.

"aunt."

"You're glad you're here." Madam Lou patted her hands and looked at her forehead. Seeing that the wound had healed a lot, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to her, "Go into the house and rest first. I'll take you to see your yard later."

Xu Jiang's eyes sparkled, "Thank you for your concern."

"It's my duty. Don't be so formal." Mrs. Lou held her hand tightly and walked towards the yard.

As soon as you enter the yard, you can smell a faint lotus fragrance. Walk into the corridor and look for the fragrance. You will see tall green roofs and delicate pink flowers.

The lotus flowers planted by Lou Yunchun are in full bloom in the pond.

Madam Lou said, "There are some in the garden planted in stone jars, and they are blooming beautifully. If you like them, I'll move some to your yard later."

"No, no, the stone jar is not light and it takes a lot of effort to move it. There is a big lotus pond in the garden outside. If you want to see it, it's just a few steps away."

"Okay." Mrs. Lou took Xu Jiang into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Jiang felt cool. He looked carefully and found that there was ice in the house.

"Come and sit here." Madam Lou led Xu Jiang to sit on a couch, and then asked the little maid to serve tea.

The tea was Longjing tea, freshly brewed and still a little hot. Mrs. Lou used a fan to cool the tea down before signaling Xu Jiang to drink it.

Xu Jiang took a sip and tasted that it was the best pre-rain Longjing tea. There was also a hint of lotus fragrance in the tea aroma, which she thought was because it had been stored in lotus flowers. She couldn't help but drink two more sips.

Mrs. Lou secretly took note of her preference and planned to make more for her to take to the restaurant to drink.

While drinking tea, Yin Yin came in holding a food box and said to Madam Lou with a smile: "This is the cake made by Sister Xu. Madam, would you like to try it?"

Mrs. Lou nodded, "Okay."

Yin Yin placed the food box on the table beside her. Liu Mei stepped forward to help open it, then brought out the pastries and placed them in front of Mrs. Lou.

Mrs. Lou picked up a glutinous rice cake and tasted it. It was just as delicious as ever. After finishing the glutinous rice cake, she ate a small brown sugar steamed bun. As soon as she took a bite, she knew it was her son's taste and couldn't help but smile.

"tasty."

"If you like it, I'll do it next time."

Mrs. Lou didn't care much about food, and most of the food Xu Jiang had sent before ended up in Lou Jing's stomach. But since Xu Jiang had just arrived, she was afraid of causing them trouble, so she was determined to make up for it. So she nodded and said, "Okay."

Xu Jiang smiled, "Then I'll make a few more tricks next time."

"Um."

After drinking tea and eating cakes, Xu Jiang felt relieved.

Mrs. Lou pulled her up and said, "I'll take you to see your yard."
