Chapter 102: Riots in the middle of the night
In the evening, Dong Xun finally couldn't help but say: "Miss, it's not a bad thing to go back home, you've been born for a while, and you haven't been angry yet?"
The weather was hot and sultry, Xue Ying drank the sour plum soup without taking a sip, and said listlessly: "I'm not angry, I'm just not happy." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
What's the difference between being unhappy and being angry?
Dong Xun was struggling, someone knocked at the door, and Aunt Sun came in.
"Miss. ”
Xue Ying straightened up: "What's wrong?"
"Today in the carriage, Zhen's mother has been inquiring about things in the house, Aunt Wang is a little impatient, so she didn't say much, but I'm worried that Aunt Wang will ask about some things tomorrow, and Zhen's mother is defenseless and will ......."
Xue Ying frowned: Aside from the past and the broken things, what else can't be said?
"Miss," Aunt Sun couldn't help but be helpless and amused when she saw her expression, "You have done so many things in Beizhuang, you really don't need to hide it at all?"
Xue Ying reacted at this time, and returned to the table in frustration: "That's why I'm not happy to go back! I'm used to it, there are so many rules in the house, and I will definitely be uncomfortable when I go back." ”
When Aunt Sun heard this, she spread her hands: "I think so too." ”
Xue Ying looked up at her, and then the two of them laughed at the same time, and some tacit understanding was self-evident.
"Alas. Xue Ying sighed, "I know, you let Zhen's mother come here, and I'll tell you again." Although she is too anxious to return home, she is not a person who does not know proportions - especially about the matter of Ganxiao Temple, she can't let others know anything!"
"Why?" Dong Xun didn't understand, "Miss is filial, can't you let people know?"
"Of course not. Xue Ying pouted, "This is something that the third master has told me thousands of times." ”
"Miss!" Aunt Su heard the words "third master", and couldn't help but stiffen her face and reprimand.
Xue Ying had no choice but to put away her resentful attitude and obediently changed her words with a respectful look: "That's what my father ordered." ”
"After returning home, you should pay special attention to your words and deeds, and no matter how uncomfortable you are, you must endure it. Aunt Sun advised.
"Yes, I understand. "Xue Ying doesn't have the courage to confront the times and the family, anyway, in less than three months, she will go to the Ganxiao Temple to practice, and the time spent in the Jian'an Hou Mansion will not be too long, and she can still do it if she can endure it.
After a while, Aunt Sun really brought Zhen's mother here. Xue Ying coquettishly sold cute threats, and used various means to use one side, using excuses such as "you must not ruin her image", and finally made Zhen's mother obey, and guaranteed that the outrageous things she did in Beizhuang would never be revealed - after all, the last thing Zhen's mother wanted to see was that Xue Ying "fell out of favor" again.
But she's never been favored!
For some of Zhen's mother's deep-rooted thoughts, Xue Ying can only be helpless.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion on the silent street, and the firelight could be seen through the window, Dong Xun was so frightened that his face turned pale and trembled, but Xue Ying inexplicably had a feeling of "getting used to it", it was estimated that the thrilling exercise in Beizhuang had exercised her nerves before, and now she is very able to accept this "accident".
When Aunt Sun arrived, what she saw was Xue Ying hugging Dong Xun, comforting each other without a match. When Xue Ying saw her, she asked, "How is Mother Zhen?"
"I saw that she was so excited, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep, so I let her drink some soothing tea before going to bed, and she hasn't woken up yet. ”
"That's good. Come and sit. Xue Ying looked outside, "It seems to be getting noisier and noisier." ”
Aunt Sun stood in front of the window and listened, hesitating: "It seems to be outside the inn." "The courtyard where they are now is the innermost one, and it is still quite a short distance from the street, so even if the troublemakers are right outside the door, it is not too close to them.
Dong Xun in his arms trembled several times, and his face became more and more ugly. Xue Ying asked Aunt Sun helplessly, "Do you still have soothing tea?"
Aunt Sun reluctantly took out a silver needle from her sleeve, and after burning it with the candle, she pricked a few stitches on Dong Xun's body, and Dong Xun's tense body finally relaxed and fell asleep.
When Aunt Sun moved Dong Xun away, Xue Ying moved her sore arms with a wrinkled face: "These days are getting more and more peaceful, and there are troublemakers wherever you go." ”
"A year of famine is inevitable. Aunt Sun said softly, "Miss, aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I'm afraid, but now, I can only resign myself to fate. Xue Ying listened a few more times, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and it seemed that those troublemakers actually wanted to break into the house-but I don't know if it was this inn.
"Probably not so unlucky, right?" she muttered to Aunt Sun, "put out the candle." "Lighting a lamp at night is tantamount to making yourself a target.
Fortunately, this farce did not last long, and it subsided after about half an hour, and there were only fragmentary sounds left, but because of such a fuss, Xue Ying didn't sleep well at night, and her eyes went black the next day.
When they went out, they heard Aunt Wang reprimanding the shopkeeper, and the suspects did not do a good job, which frightened their group. The shopkeeper could only smile bitterly and apologize again and again - although last night's incident was also a disaster for him, but it was also a dereliction of duty to do this business to not ensure the safety of the guests.
Xue Ying saw that the shopkeeper's forehead was still wrapped in gauze, and the shopkeeper who led the horse for them was also limping at her feet, knowing that they had suffered a lot last night in order not to be broken, she frowned slightly and raised her voice: "Aunt Wang, it's not too early, let's go." ”
Aunt Wang was taken aback by her, but it was not good to continue to train people, she shook her handkerchief and got into the carriage angrily, and before leaving, she did not forget to shout to the guards who escorted them: "Protect Miss well, if you are hit by those chaotic people, you will see!"
Dong Xun muttered: "This Aunt Wang is so fierce." ”
"You've never seen anyone like this before?"
Dong Xun froze for a moment, and then reluctantly admitted: "Of course I have seen it." "Otherwise, she wouldn't have been the kind of person who was submissive and couldn't make a sound with eight sticks. It's just that I've lived in Beizhuang for a long time, and I've been infected by Xue Ying and Qiaoya, and I've forgotten the pain after the scars.
Now she also had a bitter face: "Miss, I don't seem to want to go back to the Hou Mansion either." ”
Xue Ying touched her head to comfort her, then leaned aside and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Although there were still displaced people on the road, the convoy returned to Anjing City smoothly. Needless to say, the prosperity of Anjing City is needless to say, just listening to the sound outside through the curtain feels extraordinary, but it is a pity that before the process, Aunt Wang came to tell another round, saying that after entering the city, you must not open the curtain, so as not to show your face and break the rules. The implication is that he is worried that Xue Ying, a "hillbilly", has never seen the prosperity of Anjing City, and she is out of shape and making jokes.
Because of this, Xue Ying and Dong Xun both held their breath, and they didn't look out the window until they entered the mansion, nor did they say a word.
