163.Xia Ji's Troubled Times (3)
"Wait a minute...... Madame, this is not good!" Xiao Liu'er clutched the corner of her clothes and shouted hesitantly.
Although she knew that Madame didn't like Dr. Gongsun and Dr. Yi, she had been thoughtful and polite to them before, so why did she suddenly not want to see them today?
Han Ruo, that is, Xia Ji, heard this, and knew that this little girl was planning for herself! But as a maid, she can't build her happiness on the misfortune of her master, right? This is too unprofessionally conscious.
Before Han Ruo could speak, Fu'er had already started to reprimand Xiao Liu'er angrily.
"What do you mean by being bad? Is the master the master talking and you are the beak? is the lady the master, or are you the master?"
That's a bit of a weight. Xiao Liu'er's eyes were red, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a face full of grievances: "Madam, that's not what the slave meant. The slave maid is just worried that if she offends Lord Gongsun, it will be detrimental to her wife! Lord Gongsun is a courtier that His Majesty fancy!"
Xia Ji looked at Xiao Liu'er under her knees, and her heart gradually hardened. The original owner attached the same importance to Xiao Liu'er and Xiao Xu as to Fu'er, but these two people are obviously the type of man who forgets the master. They were only planning for themselves, and they didn't want to think about the impact that letting those two people come to the forest often would have on their master.
Well, since they are unjust, there is no need for them to be too merciful in the future. Gongsun Ning and Yixing's father must be eliminated by themselves. If they're still like this, it's no wonder they're on their own.
Xia Ji's eyes were cold, but her tone was very gentle, and she said to Xiao Liu'er: "It's still thoughtful." But I don't want to see anyone today, so go and explain it to Gongsun!"
As soon as Xiao Liu'er heard that she could go and talk to Gongsun Ning in person, she immediately turned her sadness into joy, got up from the ground and tidied up the emerald tunic cardigan skirt, and only after confirming that there was no problem with her appearance did she give Xia Ji a blessing, and walked to the door outside.
"Madam, don't be fooled by Xiao Liu'er and Xiao Su. The two of them are now so bent on climbing the high branches that they don't think about you at all. When Fu'er saw her wife like this, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
"I know. Natsuhime sighed faintly.
"You know, why are you still going with them......" Fu'er's eyes widened with a beautiful gap.
"Let them do it first, after all, I will give them another chance. If they don't choose the right one, then I won't dare to keep them. ”
"So you had a plan!" I thought ......," Fu'er scratched her head embarrassedly.
"Think I'm confused?" Xia Ji looked at Fu'er with narrow eyes.
"Slaves don't dare!"
Fu'er thought that she had upset her master, and she was about to kneel on the ground as soon as her legs bent. Xia Ji hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her.
"You, you~ Just kidding you! Don't talk about this, what has Nan'er been doing lately?" Xia Ji hasn't been out of the bedroom door for the past few days, and I don't know what happened to the child. When I think about it, I'm a little worried.
"Childe has been practicing martial arts riding and archery all day long, and he has opened his eyes since the third watch of the rooster's song, and he can't rest until the twilight, and he has to shoot several arrow targets every day. The slaves and maidservants advised him to rest, but he did not listen. It's so distressing to watch!"
Fu'er really deserves to be Xia Ji's right-hand man, even if Xia Ji doesn't explain something, she will consciously take the initiative to take it to heart, and she can answer whatever the master asks.
Xia Ji knew that Fu'er was really worried about her. In the last life, the Chu army broke through the Chen State, Xia Nan was torn apart and died tragically, Fu'er pretended to be himself and fell into the hands of Gongsun Ning and Yixing's father, so that he could buy time to come to the king of Chuzhuang, and did not fall into the hands of those two people, so that he had a later acquaintance with Qu Wu and a stable old age.
And Fu'er didn't want to be humiliated, nor did she want to become a pawn for others to blackmail his wife, so he committed suicide bravely.
As for Xiao Su and Xiao Liu'er, who knows where they were at that time!
The original owner's wish did not directly mention Fu'er, but Han Ruo, who is now Xia Ji, knew that she must have hoped that Fu'er would also have a good ending. Because when Xia Ji saw Fu'er, she could feel that the original owner had some respect for her.
A maid who can win the respect of her master must be a rare good maid! Xia Ji decided to protect her for the original owner.
"Madam, don't worry, I'll let the doctor of Situ Mansion stay by Gongzi's side all day long, and if Gongzi is injured, he can get the most timely treatment. There won't be any problems. ”
Fu'er saw her wife tilting her head and looking at the ground distractedly, thinking that she was worried about the child, and hurriedly comforted her.
Xia Ji retracted her thoughts and said to Fu'er, "Let's go, let's go see Nan'er!"
The arrow target is a consumable-resistant product, and it hurts several times a day, even if it is a hundred steps to wear Yang, it doesn't need to be like this! Where is this kid practicing archery, he is obviously ruthless!
Thinking about it, I also know that the children of single-parent families are inherently fragile and sensitive, and the original owner has to wronged herself to cater to those prodigals, even if she doesn't say it herself, the child is very uncomfortable. He was just a child and couldn't do anything, so he had to practice martial arts desperately, hoping to get ahead in the future and let his mother no longer be humiliated.
The matter of Yi Xing's father a few days ago obviously stimulated Xia Nan. When Xia Ji heard Fu'er's words, she was really a little worried that this kid would treat herself as a drag oil bottle, self-pity, self-abandonment, and torture him to himself.
In ancient times, the layout of the courtyard was generally for women to live in the inner courtyard and men to live in the outer courtyard. Except for the couple's house, which is arranged in one place, everyone else's residence strictly follows this rule.
Xia Nan is already eleven years old, and he has long moved to live in the outer courtyard, and has also opened a training ground in the outer courtyard to practice martial arts. Uncle Xia Yu is the Sima of the Chen State, and is in charge of the military administration and military endowment of the Chen State. Xia Nan is also determined to grow up and inherit his father's position.
When Natsuhime and the others came, they didn't see Natsumi at the training ground. Hasn't this kid been confined to the training ground all day lately and sweating profusely? Why didn't he come today?
Xia Ji thought for a while, and then took Fu'er to the Liufeng Pavilion.
Because of its high floors, Liufeng Pavilion is known as the artistic conception of climbing high and looking far away. At the same time, due to the geographical location, you can not only see what is happening in Sima's Mansion clearly, but also monitor the dynamics at the entrance of Sima's Mansion.
When Xia Ji climbed to the third floor, she saw Xia Nan pulling a curved bow into the shape of a full moon, and a sharp arrow was on the bowstring, and the arrow was firmly facing the direction of the door of Situ's mansion.
The young man was seven feet tall, and his dark eyes were full of anger, and his whole body showed a fierce momentum. The killing intent that was about to come out, even Fu'er felt it.
"Childe ......" Fu'er wants to persuade his son. You don't have to think about it to know who his anger is directed at. But Gongsun Ning has an official position, although he deserves to die, killing his own son-in-law will also be in trouble.
Fu'er watched Xia Nan grow from a small meat bun to the handsome young man he is today, how could he bear to see him have an accident?
"Fu'er!" Xia Ji stopped Fu'er's actions. It's better to be blocked, Xia Ji herself wants to teach Gongsun Ning a lesson.
Xia Ji came to Xia Nan and stood side by side with him, looking in the direction of the mansion gate.
"It's not a wise choice to kill him now. Why don't you do it differently?" Xia Ji turned her head and looked at her son with sparkling eyes.
"Mother?" Xia Ji knew when they first came up, but he thought that his mother was here to stop him, so he didn't move. I didn't expect it to be not.
"Where's your shadow, let it go!" said Natsuhime with her son's surprised look.
Chasing Ying is a shepherd dog raised by Xia Nan. Children who are sluggish are easy to be bullied by children of the same age, not to mention that Xia Ji has a bad reputation due to Yixing's father and Gongsun Ning. Xia Nan didn't want to endure the ridicule and ridicule of others, and in addition to reading and practicing martial arts every day, he only accompanied by chasing shadows.
Now as soon as Xia Ji spoke, Xia Nan knew what she meant. It's just that the mother's transformation is too great. A few days ago, I still didn't want to offend the attitude of those two people, how can I help myself fix them today?
"Mother, you really want to ......"
"Well, Mother figured it out and didn't want to put up with them anymore. It's not good to just hit it hard. Just let the shadow chaser bite that person, but don't bite out any human life!"
"Okay!" Xia Nan looked at his mother and smiled, the bright smile shining on his face like a ray of sunshine.
Fu'er next to her was stunned for a while when she saw this scene. It's been a long time since she's seen such a smile on her son's face, and it's clear that he loved to laugh so much when he was a child.
A whistle sounded, and Xia Ji only felt a flash of golden light in front of her, and a majestic golden retriever dog stood in front of her.
"Chasing the shadow, go, bite that man!" Xia Nan stroked the smooth and shiny golden retriever on the top of the shadow chasing head with one hand, and pointed at Gongsun Ning and said.
The shadow chased "whoosh" and rushed to the bottom of the flowing wind building like a bolt of lightning.
"Wang...... Whew...... Wang ......"
"Help......!
Gongsun Ning was talking to Xiao Liu'er affectionately, when suddenly a big dog ran out and bit him wildly. He was so scared that he was about to pee his pants.
However, because of Mrs. Xia's abnormal behavior today, Gongsun Ning asked the guards to stand a little farther away in order to facilitate Xiao Liu'er's words. By the time his guards came around, Shadow had already bitten him several times. A man and a dog are tangled together.
A reckless guard stepped forward and slashed at Shadow Chaser, but although Shadow looked huge, he was actually extremely agile, and when he heard the whistle of the little master in the distance, he cleverly dodged it. The guard didn't cut the shadow, but he hurt his master. Although he only cut a little skin, Gongsun Ning couldn't help but curse.
"Bastard, you don't have eyes, huh...... Beware of Lao Tzu killing you...... Ah......h Kill this dog for me!"
Now all the guards did not dare to use their swords. We are also flesh and blood! Everyone wailed in their hearts when they saw such a big golden retriever, but when they thought of their master's usual behavior, they still gritted their teeth and surrounded them. If there were fewer injuries on his body than he did, and he had a grudge, all their families would not have to live. Especially the guard who accidentally injured Gongsun Ning just now, he was the most afraid.
