Chapter 734: Xia Mansion
Huang Xiaoxian took the Ninth Young Master to the Xia Mansion.
On the way to Xiafu, Huang Xiaoxian suddenly had a sense of vicissitudes, although she is only fifteen years old now, but in real life, she should be thirty-two years old.
She got off the sedan chair with the young master, looked up and saw that the gatehouse of the Xia family was in front of her, and on the boulevard on the side of the road, those trees that were once full of life vitality had already taken off their green clothes at this time, and they seemed to have entered the end of their lives, and an indescribable complex emotion surged into Huang Xiaoxian's mind, whether it was the present or the distant past or the present, it seemed ethereal and illusory in Huang Xiaoxian's mind.
The tree has a coming year, but the man has changed.
In the past, it was the lady of Xia Mansion who received her, and sometimes it was also the one who had the final say among several aunts and wives, anyway, the red willow green and yellow fairy couldn't tell who was who, although she had seen the master of the Xia family, but only once or twice, and only said hello.
This time, it was also Mrs. Cui who received her, but she separated her from the young master and took her to the inner room.
At this time, when supper was over, the servants began to light the lamps and candles in the antechamber, and the situation was like that of the White House, and the room, which had been dim just a moment ago, became ashamedly bright.
Huang Xiaoxian just sat down, and suddenly heard the report: "Master and Mrs. are here." ”
A little girl lifted the curtain and saw a lean man walking in.
Huang Xiaoxian had been to the Xia Mansion before, and he had never officially met the master of the Xia family, at this moment, I saw his general dark robe, a sword similar to a jade pendant hanging from his waist, his exposed skin was dark brown, and his face was crisscrossed with wrinkles, I didn't know that I thought he was seventy or eighty, but looking at his original Mrs. Cui, who was very well maintained, was about forty years old.
And the old man of the Xia family, his hair is all white, although he is wrapped in a scarf on his head, but there is no green silk in sight.
Huang Xiaoxian hurriedly bowed down, and with a wave of his hand, the Xia family waved his hand, and the people all went out, leaving only the lord and his wife.
The first impression of the Xia family master on Huang Xiaoxian was not good, he was obviously at the end of the crossbow, but he had to pretend to be an important person in the prosperous world, and his voice seemed to imitate the upper class society very deliberately when he walked and spoke.
In fact, he didn't need to be like this when he faced Huang Xiaoxian, maybe he was used to it, no matter who he treated, the shelf couldn't fall down.
"How are you in the Bai family now?" asked Master Xia, looking high-minded, and his expression was so cold that he couldn't understand it, and he didn't know that he thought it was Huang Xiaoxian who took the initiative to find him.
What does this mean? Huang Xiaoxian didn't know how to answer, and said yes? It's not too good, and it's okay to say yes.
Huang Xiaoxian stared at him and said nothing.
The old man of the Xia family looked confused when he saw her, and he had to get straight to the point.
"How did the Bai family survive this time?" asked Master Bai straightforwardly.
"I don't know who reported that the master has signs of rebellion, how is it possible, the master of the Bai family is loyal to the emperor, I don't know which villa......in framed him" Huang Xiaoxian didn't know why, and suddenly he was a little afraid of Master Xia, even if the gentleman is angry, you don't have to be afraid, what you are afraid of is the villain, they are calculating you anytime and anywhere, and you will accidentally enter the kang.
"I asked you how you solved it. Master Xia asked solemnly.
"Doesn't the emperor know about nothing?" Huang Xiaoxian said cautiously.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm asking you how you told the emperor, and how he was persuaded by you, don't answer those useless ones. ”
"The emperor is aware of everything, and I don't play a role. "Huang Xiaoxian came up with a trick to play Tai Chi.
Huang Xiaoxian thought, I just want to play Tai Chi and give you an answer to your question.
"Of course the emperor knows everything, what I want to know is how did you convince him?" Old Man Xia was obviously a little unhappy.
Huang Xiaoxian thought to himself, how old are you? What do you care about what I do, so he said: "Since he knows everything, I don't need to talk nonsense, maybe he also figured it out." ”
"Presumptuous, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have turned such a big thing into a small thing and a small thing into a small ......"
Huang Xiaoxian heard him say this, and he felt no stranger at all, and in his vague impression, the master had asked this more than once, and the thirteenth aunt seemed to have asked the same thing.
"What am I capable of?"
"I think you're pretending to be stupid, can you be serious?" said Master Xia seriously.
"I don't understand what you're asking at all, national affairs, how can my generation control it?" Huang Xiaoxian wanted to pretend to be stupid to the end.
"Have you entered the palace?"
"Of course. ”
"See the emperor?"
"Of course. ”
"What have you said. ”
"Why do you want to tell you, in what capacity do you question me? Our master didn't dare to ......" Huang Xiaoxian's tone was originally very resolute, but when it came to the master, he was a little weak-hearted.
"Of course we're qualified, I'll tell you why. Mrs. Xia Jiacui, who had not spoken, said, "How much benefit have you taken from me? Do you want to pretend to be confused?"
Huang Xiaoxian finally heard his wife say what was in her heart, looking at their smug expressions, she suddenly had a pleasure of fooling them, her waist couldn't help but straighten up, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but sneer.
"What are you laughing at?" replied Madame.
Huang Xiaoxian immediately turned his face and said, "How many benefits did I take? Those things are benefit fees? I thought it was given by your distressed daughter, how do I know that you still have such a mind?"
"Who are you? My daughter? My daughter died in your Bai family, do you think you can really become her? Have you forgotten who you are?"
"Of course, I won't forget, I'm a girl who burns the fire, but you do everything possible to recognize me as a daughter. Huang Xiaoxian said slowly.
"You deserve it too!" Mrs. bit the word too vividly, and casually 'bah'.
Huang Xiaoxian saw that Mrs. Cui was talking energetically, and she also turned her face and said, "I want to be your daughter? Do I know you? Who cried and shouted for me to be your daughter in the first place? The master didn't agree at all, how did you slap our Bai family?"
"your Bai family" Mrs. Cui suddenly laughed and said: "You are too self-conscious, your Bai family? What are you in the Bai family? You are a little girl who burns the fire, who will take you in his eyes? Don't talk about the Bai family, you are far away from the Bai family." ”
"That being the case, I'll go at once, and I'm still self-aware. Huang Xiaoxian ignored what his wife wanted to say, and hurriedly walked out.
"Stop!" the old man's voice was not high, but Huang Xiaoxian immediately froze.
