Chapter 34: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
At this time, there was a small canopy boat moored not far from Fengxiang Lake, and a young man stood at the bow of the boat, wearing a black Tang scarf and a royal blue round-necked silk shirt. It was Xue Yu, the prince of the protectorate, and there was a small guy Dong'an standing next to him. Both men looked at the shore with solemn faces.
Xue Yu saw Xiaoyu prancing horse rushing in front, and his face became more and more ugly. Dong'an looked at Xue Yu's face, and was also secretly anxious: Zhou Li, the youngest son of King Xing, can't afford to lose the most, but Miss Xia has no face for him today. The prince laid out this game, but it was not easy to come forward at this time
Thinking that Xiaoyu had rushed to the finish line, he didn't stop the horse, but ran to the seventh brother, and then he grabbed the reins suddenly.
Xue Yu immediately retreated to the cabin, took out a crossbow, and aimed at the shore.
Song Zhuojin was also a little anxious in his heart, the young man who led today was Zhou Li, the youngest son of King Xing, if he refused to stop and made trouble, this matter would become more and more unsightly. Although this Xia girl is a common person, but so many of her brothers have some ability, and today she came out with Sun Fuyin's son, I'm afraid it's not easy to bully.
Looking at Zhou Li in the back, his face was cloudy, and he was reaching out to the guards on the side to get a quiver. Song Zhuojin secretly complained bitterly, regretting that he shouldn't have watched the excitement at the beginning.
At this moment of lightning, Xiaoyu suddenly fell from the horse and fell into the arms of the seventh brother.
Zhou Ligang's outstretched hand immediately retracted, and he hurriedly went over to check.
Song Zhuojin looked at this qiē blankly, and only after a while did he look at the seventh brother thoughtfully.
Xue Yu on the boat looked at the chaotic crowd on the shore in a daze, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that his back was cold, and his middle coat was wet with cold sweat. Hurriedly instructed Dong'an to prop up the boat.
The captain had only held up two shots, and Xue Yu suddenly looked back nervously as if he remembered something. Vaguely seeing the seventh brother running towards the Sun family's carriage with Xiaoyu in his arms, Xue Yu's heart rose again. He said to Dong'an in a dumb voice: "Later, send a doctor to Xia's house to have a look." ”
The seventh brother was also frightened into a cold sweat at this time, and rushed to the Sun family's carriage with Xiaoyu in his arms, and Ruhai also followed quickly. It wasn't until he was about to get to the carriage that the seventh brother heard Xiaoyu say in an inaudible voice: "Go to the one on the left, that is the carriage of the Sun family's maid." ”
The seventh brother's body froze, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But he deliberately paused, glanced at both sides, and then jumped into the carriage on the left. As soon as I got in the car, I called the driver: "Hurry up to the stone alley." ”
The carriage ran for a while, and Xiaoyu saw that there was no movement, so she got up, stroked her chest and said, "It's so dangerous." The seventh brother also calmed down at this time, and couldn't help but secretly say that it was dangerous. Ruhai came back to his senses at this time, and when he thought about it again, those people didn't seem to be simple, and he was also scared into a cold sweat.
The seventh brother took Xiaoyu home, and sent Ruhai to invite a doctor, which was considered to be enough to make the play.
On the second day, the third sister-in-law and the third brother came over, saying that the newly bought mansion in Fengxiang Mansion had been cleaned up. Seventh Brother, Xiaoyu and Ruhai hurriedly packed up their things and moved over.
Xue Yu didn't arrange for the imperial doctor to go over, but only asked Dong'an to send two clever servants over to watch. The little guy who was waiting to reply said: "The doctor said that the body was a little weak, and the emotions were too fluctuating. Let it rest at home. Xue Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Li looked at the Sun family's carriage that had gone away, and was still a little confused, and turned his head to ask Song Zhuojin: "What's the matter, why did you suddenly faint? ”
Song Zhuojin slandered in his heart: "It's not that I'm scared by you." I'm afraid that you can't afford to lose, so settle accounts with her. But he said: "Xu is too nervous about the competition, after all, she is still a little girl, and she looks only eight or nine years old, you have nothing to do in the camp every day." ”
Shen groaned and added: "I don't hesitate to pity the jade at all." ”
Zhou Li listened, hesitated for a moment and said, "Otherwise, send a doctor to take a look, see that she is dressed like a country girl, and the family doesn't have much money to hire a good doctor." ”
Song Zhuojin looked at him in surprise, and saw that he didn't look like he was suspicious of the girl. I thought to myself: This is really evil.
Zhou Li thought about it and said, "Oh, I forgot what my name was to tell her." ”
Song Zhuojin almost fell off the horse when he heard this. The girl of the Xia family has her brother below, but he doesn't, so he hurriedly tightened his legs to stabilize his body.
When Zhou Li returned home, he immediately ran to his mother's room before he had time to change his clothes, and shouted: "Mother, mother." ”
The little girl who was cleaning in the room was startled, and hurriedly saluted: "The princess is in the front hall." ”
Zhou Li hurriedly ran slowly to the front hall, only to see the princess sitting in the middle of the hall looking at the account book in her hand on the small kang table. Seeing Zhou Li hurriedly running over, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand, took the sweat towel from the hand of the personal maid Liu'er and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then asked with a smile: "Why are you running in such a hurry?"
Zhou Li said: "I met a little girl today, raced with me, and planted off the horse. Mother, you can send a doctor to see her!"
"Oh!" the princess's smile slowly faded, and she asked lightly, "Whose girl is it?" ”
"Huh?" Zhou Li raised his head and thought hard for a long time before he said, "It seems to be surnamed Xia." ”
"Surname Xia?" The princess looked back at the maids and mothers-in-law who were waiting beside her: "Do you know the Xia family?"
The crowd shook their heads.
Zhou Li laughed when he saw it: "It's just a little girl from the countryside." Only eight or nine years old. How would you know. ”
When the princess heard this, she spread her hands and said, "Then where can I send the imperial doctor?"
Zhou Li was also stunned, and then lowered his head and thought about it before saying, "Her brother seems to be Sun Haoran's classmate." It is the son of that Sun Fu Yin. ”
The princess narrowed her eyes when she heard this: "Then I will send someone over to ask him where his family lives in a while." ”
Sun Haoran returned to the house and ran quickly to his father's study.
Sun Lu looked at his rough son, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "It's going to end next year, why are you still so unstable." ”
When Sun Haoran heard this, he immediately shrank back in fright, and saw that his father didn't ask him what he meant. Hurriedly said: "Today, I took my sisters out to enjoy the flowers, and I met King Xing's son who also came out to go out." Very arrogant. ”
He also told Zhou Li about the boat fight with them. Finally, he said: "When Sister Yanzhao came over, we were already planning to back down, but I didn't expect him to know that I was your son and still wouldn't let go. ”
"Nonsense!" Sun Lu was so angry that he threw the pen in his hand on Sun Haoran's body.
"He's the son of a dragon and a grandson, what do you compare yourself to? Get out. ”
Seeing Sun Haoran walking out, he shouted again: "Come back, copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times." ”
Sun Haoran lowered his head in response, and only when he came out wiped the sweat on his forehead. Secretly said: "It's not too bad. ”
As soon as Sun Haoran left, Sun Lu called the little servant and invited the staff to come over to discuss.
Song Zhuojin returned home and met the eldest brother who also came back. The two went to their father Song Lanyun's martial arts training hall together, Song Zhuojin sat heavily in the chair and sighed long: "This day has passed, it's so frustrating." Dad, please change me to an errand, serve these two ancestors every day, how can I fight when my spirit is gone. ”
Song Zhuojin's eldest brother, Song Zhuoyu, smiled and said, "You can't even be a little hairy child, and you still want to go to war?"
Song Zhuojin listened and sat up from the chair suddenly: "Don't you know that today, it can really kill people in a hurry." ”
He poured beans into a bamboo tube and said today's events again: "Look at it, it's obvious that she was tricked by someone else's little girl, and he still has to send a doctor to treat her, and she can't tell the difference between good and bad." ”
Song Zhuoyu listened, stroked his palms and laughed and said: "The girl is a wonderful person, and it is the hearts of the people who plan it. If you are going to march and fight in the future, it would be nice to have her three points to improvise. ”
Song Zhuojin was a little unconvinced when she heard this: "Where is she powerful, her brothers are called powerful." He told Xiaoyu's brothers again.
Now even Song Lanyun was a little curious: "There are still such people in this world, I don't know who their father is?"
Song Zhuojin listened: "I'm also curious, I didn't finish asking at that time, and I didn't dare to ask too much on the road." As he spoke, he called his little servant in: "Tell me, what's so strange about that Xia girl's fourth brother." ”
The little guy listened and hurriedly said: "In the past, Miss Xia's fourth brother was the most inconspicuous, but he was just a carpenter in the village, and he didn't talk much. ”
Song Zhuojin said impatiently: "You say it quickly." ”
The little guy hurriedly picked up the important thing and said: "The craftsmen who make weapons under the command division are friendly with Fourth Brother Xia, so they talk about the Lianzhu crossbow with Fourth Brother Xia." As a result, Fourth Brother Xia said a few tricks, and heard that the range of the crossbow had increased a lot at once. The craftsman recommended him to the chief, and heard that the capital had rewarded him with a lot of silver taels. ”
The father and son looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
Or Song Zhuoyu came back to his senses first: "Who is their father?"
The little guy smiled and said, "Their father is very famous, and he is a famous talent in our village." The surname is Xia, we all call him Xia Xiucai. ”
When the father and son of the Song family heard this, they couldn't cry or laugh. A talent who didn't even get into the exam, is it really a person who hides the dragon and crouches the tiger?
A few days later, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law also heard about it, and she was so angry that she stroked her forehead and said to Xia Xiucai: "Look at it, this girl is inseparable from people all her life, but she is just one day away, so she can't wait, so she has to do something for you." ”
Xia Xiucai stroked her beard and said, "The girl is quite clever, and she knows how to pretend to be dead." ”
Xiao Xia's mother-in-law ignored him, packed her things overnight, and asked the fourth brother to take her to the house in Fengxiang Mansion the next day.
This newly bought house is a five-entry mansion, and the room of Xia Xiucai and Xiao Xia's mother-in-law is left in the middle. The east cross courtyard is the third brother and the third sister-in-law, but the west cross courtyard is the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law. Xiaoyu is in the side courtyard behind the main house, and Seventh Brother and Ruhai live in the front yard.
It took some time for the servants of Xingwangfu to find the Xia family, but it wasn't all because Seventh Brother had just moved. It turned out that Sun Haoran listened to the people from Xingwangfu inquiring about Brother Xia Qi's family, thinking that Zhou Li was not convinced and wanted to take revenge on the Xia family, so he told the people in the family not to talk nonsense.
By the time the imperial doctor sent by the Xingwang Mansion came over, it was already seven or eight days later.
Mrs. Xia is busy buying servants and training slaves. I was really taken aback when I saw the post handed over by the next person to Xingwangfu, and said in my heart: "The older this girl gets, the better her ability to cause trouble." ”
I had to invite the imperial doctor in, check Xiaoyu's pulse, and prescribe a few calming medicines before sending people away.
