Chapter 22: invitation

At Mao the next day, the White House.
The oil lamp on the table was burned out, and Lingxiu, who was dozing off with his head in the morning light outside, was awakened by a muffled sound outside the door.
What's going on? She rubbed her eyes, got up questioningly, and opened the door.
Outside the door stood a dignified and generous beauty, with a graceful back and dark hair like a cloud, and a brocade dress with a pattern of Yaochi peony was born. The embroidery on the skirt is exquisite, the layered petals, even the stamens are very clear, and between the swings, it looks like the wind is blowing through someone's peony garden, and you can still smell the fragrance.
Lingxiu stared blankly, and asked cautiously: "This noble man, who are you looking for?"
Hearing her voice, Beauty turned her head and yawned: "Are you awake? Come and help me."
With apricot eyes and cherry lips, and a small porcelain white face, he looked familiar. Lingxiu stared at her in amazement, and exclaimed: "Miss?!"
Huaiyu smiled at her: "It's a bit late to come back, but it should be in time. You hold this one."
As she said, she stuffed a heavy pinewood makeup box into her arms, and then went through the door to drink two sips of cold tea.
Lingxiu held the makeup box in a daze, and followed her into the room with two steps, still shocked: "Where did your clothes come from?"
After swallowing the tea and taking a breath, Huaiyu said, "Someone else gave it."
What? Sent? Lingxiu shook her head repeatedly. how can that be possible? This kind of good material is not worse than the ones in the palace, let alone such exquisite embroidery, which is worth half a year's salary of the master, whoever has a bad brain will give it away!
"Don't worry about this for now." Putting down the tea cup, Li Huaiyu got up and went to the dressing table. "When I came back over the wall, I saw a carriage waiting at the door of the White House. Hurry up and choose jewelry for me, and wait for them to leave. , Let's go too."
Lingxiu was full of doubts, but Jiang Mansion was the top priority, so she quickly took the makeup box and opened it, planning to take two pieces of jewelry to embellish the lady.
As a result, as soon as she opened the makeup box, she froze again.
"Huh?" There was no movement next to him for a while, and Huaiyu looked down at her strangely.
Lingxiu opened her mouth and widened her eyes, pointing to the contents of the makeup box and turning her face pale: "Miss, did you go to grab the jewelry shop?"
"..." Dumbfounded, Huaiyu shook his forehead and muttered to herself, "Just say don't let him be so exaggerated."
There are two sets of precious heads in the makeup box, and there are some random hairpins, steppers and flower tins, which are mixed with gold and jade, which is very dazzling. Take a gold wire and eight treasures to save the bead hairpin at will, they are all ingenious and good looks, which are very valuable at first glance.
When Lu Jingxing picked it up for her, he frowned and said, "I really feel distressed."
It was said that, the things that should be given to her were not soft at all, and in the end she couldn't stand it anymore. He punched him against the wall before he stopped.
"Are you crazy?" she asked, staring.
Lu Jingxing rubbed his chest and sighed: "I'll be beaten as a gift. How can there be such a thing."
Standing straight and putting the last hairpin in her hair bun, he smiled again: "But you, no matter what you look like, you must be graceful and luxurious."
Li Huaiyu rolled his eyes at him.
Now thinking of Lu Jingxing's expression at the time, Huaiyu felt that most of this kid felt extremely regretful after she died, so now he has changed his way to make up for the regret.
People, sure enough, you have to lose one time to know the preciousness.
With two sighs, Huaiyu picked up a set of heads and faces and shook them one by one, and put them into Lingxiu's hands: "Your lady is sitting firmly, she hasn't stolen or robbed, so you can rest assured."
This is obviously not convincing, Lingxiu frowned, but still Yiyan tidyed up her bun and put on jewelry.
The fourth lady of the Bai family, who seemed to have settled down, was dressed up like this and immediately became a noble princess.
Looking at the person in the mirror, Huaiyu was still satisfied, so she got up and took Lingxiu out.
At that moment, Bai Dezhong had taken Bai Xuanji into the carriage, and Li Huaiyu and Lingxiu hid in the corner outside the courtyard wall and waited, waiting for the carriage to exit the official road before standing out.
"Miss." Lingxiu asked hesitantly, "have you figured out how to get to Jiangfu?"
"How else can I go?" Huaiyu smiled, "Come on a ride."
"That's not what the slave maid said." Lingxiu shook her head, "Jiang Mansion’s guards are already strict, and when the young master Jiang is having a banquet, guests must rely on posts to get in and out. You can get a car, but you can’t get a post. You post an unknown person. You can't get in."
Upon hearing this, Huaiyu was dumbfounded: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"..." Just now, I only cared about the outfit of Miss Shocked.
Lingxiu sighed and grabbed the veil and said in a low voice: "Actually, you regretted it when you left the house last night. You shouldn't have made the master so embarrassed. If you can't go, you won't be able to go. As long as the master is well, we can live our life. ."
Li Huaiyu looked back at her.
This little girl clearly cares about this matter and cares so hard, but now she is comforting her, her nose is red and her eyes are firm.
Sighing, she was about to say something, but from the corner of her eye she saw someone coming from a distance.
"That person..." He squinted his eyes and said, Huai Yunu said, "Look, see, is there a "Jiang" embroidered on his chest?"
Following her gaze, Lingxiu nodded: "It's the servant of Jiang Mansion."
Her eyes lit up, Huaiyu stretched out her hand and pushed her out: "While he hasn't reached the front door, hurry up and get a close fit."
Lingxiu was stunned: "What does the set almost do?"
"You are stupid." Huaiyu stomped, "You go to the suit and almost attract his attention. I attacked him from behind, knocked him out and then took off his clothes. There is no way we can get into Jiangfu!"
Shocked with horror, Lingxiu shook her head like a rattle: "This won't work! It won't work! It won't work!"
"Oh, don't be long-winded, I will be with your lady in everything, go!" Pushing her out hard, hiding her in the dark, intending to wait for the opportunity.
Lingxiu stood stiffly in the middle of the road.
With something in his hand, the slave walked in a hurry. Seeing Lingxiu from a distance, she greeted him with joy: "Is this the maid of the White House?"
"……Yes."
"Do you recognize the Fourth Miss?"
"Yes, I just served her."
The slave was greatly relieved, and smiled and handed her what was in his hand: "This is our little master specially sent to Miss Bai Si, please..."
Post.
The last word was not spoken, and the slave only felt a bang on the back of his neck, and then there was darkness before his eyes.
Li Huaiyu blew his hand and looked at Lingxiu triumphantly: "How about? I'm good, right?"
Lingxiu: "..."
"Huh? Why do you look like this?" Looking down at the thing she was holding, Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, "What is this?"
