Chapter 40 Jiangbei Searching for Relatives
From Kangguan City in Jiangdong to Changlong County in Jiangbei, Xia Baihe walked for twenty-one days, in fact, if she really walked alone, it wouldn't take so long, but since she recognized Xia Lianxin, and Xia Lianxin didn't lose her identity as Mrs. Hou, how could she let her sister suffer anymore? How could she let her sister go to see her relatives empty-handed?
Xia Lianxin couldn't leave, so she prepared a large bag of food and clothing, and specially hired a dart master from the dart bureau to escort her, the items of the three carriages, plus Xia Lily, Mama Lu, and Ruizhu, a large group of people were mighty, and they naturally couldn't travel fast.

Considering that the Xia family's father and son were exiled, and the place of exile was definitely not a place where the green mountains and green waters had convenient transportation to buy daily necessities, Xia Lily did not stop Xia Lianxin from preparing things, although she originally thought that she would see the people first, and then see what was missing, even if she went over the mountains and mountains to buy them, it would not be difficult for her.
But Xia Lian's heart wants to be filial, can she not let it?
As for Mama Lu and Ruizhu, it was specially prepared for her by Xia Lianxin, and she was with her to protect her, if Miss Qianjin didn't bring her subordinates, she walked alone with a group of male dart masters for nearly a month, it was really a shocking scandal, and the reputation of the Xia family would be finished without being ruined by others!
can't shirk anything, Xia Lihe can only treat herself as a daughter for the time being, and slowly take the carriage to visit the relatives of the original owner.
Xia Hou, the father of Xia Lily, is exactly fifty years old this year.
Xia Boxi, Xia Lily's eldest brother, is twenty-eight years old this year, married his wife You Shi, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, the eldest son Xia Shiming is eight years old this year, and the youngest daughter is named Yaya, who is five years old this year.
Xia Ruowei, Xia Lily's eldest sister, is twenty-six years old this year, the wife of the former prince, and has two daughters.
Xia Lianxin, Xia Lily's second sister, is twenty-three years old this year, the wife of Sun Panshi, the protector of the country, and has two sons and a daughter.
Xia Zhong talked, Xia Lily's second brother, twenty years old this year, this kid is more unlucky, he married a wife to give his grandfather Chong Xi, but a few days after the newcomer entered the door, the emperor Xia Heng died, he wanted to keep filial piety for his grandfather, so naturally he couldn't share the same room with his wife anymore.
According to the rules of the Tianyou Dynasty, it takes two years to keep his grandfather's filial piety, but Xia Zhongtan only had four months of filial piety, and the Xia family was imprisoned and then exiled, and the most important thing is that when Xia Lihe was urgently sent to the Cao family, her second sister-in-law Huang seemed to have just become pregnant......
Whether the child can be saved, Xia Lily has been thinking about it, but she calculated the days, if the child can be saved, it should be born now, so this time she specially brought some more medicine to raise the woman's small confinement, big confinement and premature baby.
I hope that I can be safe and sound, and I can end the obsession of the original owner, so that she can go to find her big bun from all over the world.
Xia Lihe often looked at the scenery outside the carriage, hoping and with a sad face, Mama Lu and Ruizhu could understand, comforting and saying that the Xia family still has a foundation, and there may be no chance to turn over, and the maiden family of the two young grandmothers is not simple, and they will not ignore their daughters because they are married.
Xia Lily learned some more information because of this, and completed her memories of her relatives in this life.
"Mama Lu?" said a middle-aged dart master outside the carriage, "I have already inquired clearly, Master Xia and his family live in Xixi, which is five miles away from Changlong County, but we should rush over now?"
"Of course!" Mama Lu agreed for Xia Lily first, and comforted her, for fear that something would happen to her if she was too excited.
"I'm fine, Mama, I'm here to reunite the family, not to let Daddy and them worry about me......" Xia Lily whispered, making her pretend to be nervous and excited and even fainted, it's too embarrassing!
"The third girl has always been steady..."Mama Lu said sincerely, whether the Xia family is male or female, since childhood, they have been taught that they would rather die than lose their integrity, what the specific temperament is Mama Lu, who has not read the book, does not know, but she has seen Xia Ruowei's graceful atmosphere, experienced Xia Lian's heart almost to die to prove her innocence, and Xia Lily's easy design to save her sister from the magic of fire and water, the girls of the Xia family are all good.
Xia Baihe smiled, of course she was steady, if she was not steady, she would not only lose her life but also affect her comrades-in-arms, so she couldn't panic, and she didn't want to pretend to deceive the Xia family.
"This is Xixi?" the carriage left the county seat and kept going north along the moat, and after crossing a bridge, the scenery gradually became desolate, and the number of people began to decrease, but the crops in the surrounding farmland looked good.
After walking for almost an hour, Xia Lily saw a big river again, and as she watched the carriage go west, she felt that it was almost to the ground.
Mama Lu also felt that it was, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to ask the escort dart master, but they said that they inquired, this river has not yet been out of the scope of the moat, and the Xixi where Master Xia lives is on the west side of a large waterhole on the branch of the moat, so it is called Xixi, and it is time to walk a pillar of incense.
Is there still a crowd in the future? Mama Lu's heart was cold, but in the face of Xia Lily, who was always calm and seemed to have no expectation, she didn't dare to say that the old man and young master might have a very hard time.
Further on, there are really a lot of people's houses, but they are all independent courtyards separated by hundreds of meters, see the carriage that I saw, there are no adults in the yard, but a few children are snuggled at the door, timid and with hope, curiosity and other indescribable complex expressions look over.
Xia Lily's heart moved, and she carefully observed these children, they saw that some of them had unkempt hair and dirty clothes, but they were really different from the native village children, and they were not the same as ordinary children, there was a difference in temperament, and even less was innocent.
"Mama Lu, can you recognize any of these children? I guess they're all convicts. Xia Lily whispered.
When Mama Lu heard this, she hurriedly asked the carriage to stop, and the dart master outside was just worried, and they also felt that they had arrived at the place, but the adults here did not come out, and the timid and fearful appearance of the children made them embarrassed to go over with knives.
Mama Lu is Xia Lianxin's nurse, and according to the criteria for selecting people from large families, she naturally has to be kind and kind-eyed, speak softly, and even walk lightly and silently, and even be able to coax children.
Mama Lu's dress is also the housekeeper of a large family, and this alone makes all the curious and timid children feel cordial at first sight, their original nursing mother, the woman who followed her mother's side, isn't this what she looks like?
So when I saw Mama Lu go to the door of a house nearby, not only did the children of that family not leave, but even a few children who were watching from a distance couldn't help but come here.
Mama Lu is selective to ask people, too young children can't understand at all, it's too dirty, she instinctively doesn't want to approach, the child she chose is a girl, eight or nine years old, although it is a patch of clothes, but the pulp is very clean, the little girl has a good temperament, and she looks a little familiar with her eyebrows and eyes.
"Eldest sister......" Since she guessed that it might be from the eunuch's family, Mama Lu called so closely, and stepped forward with a smile, "Mama asked you something......
The door opened suddenly, and a woman rushed out in terror, picked up the child and hurriedly said, "We don't know anything!" and quickly went back to the house, closing the door tightly!
Mama Lu was stunned, the woman came out quickly, but it was enough for her to recognize it, so she didn't leave at the moment, she stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Is it the eldest girl of the Qu family? I am Mama Lu of the second girl of the Xia family, do you remember?
The closed door was quickly opened again, and the woman stood at the door with some surprise: "Mama Lu, is it really you?"
"Miss Qu. Mama Lu was busy saluting.
"Master Xia, they live nearby, and there are three more families to the west. Knowing what people are most worried about, Miss Qu will make a long story short.
Mama Lu hurriedly thanked her, and then returned to the carriage, she didn't get into the car anymore, let the coachman continue to drive west, and she followed by the window and said to Xia Baihe: "The third girl really guessed correctly, it is the relatives of the criminal officials who live here, and the family just now is even more coincidental, it is the eldest girl of the Qu family!"
“…… What a coincidence......" Listening to Mama Lu's tone, the eldest girl of the Qu family should be an acquaintance of Xia Baihe who can hear it clearly, but what if she doesn't have this person in her memory?
"Yes," Mama Lu sighed very emotionally, "The eldest girl of the Qu family and the eldest girl of our family are close friends, the third girl also made shoes for you when she was a child, her father-in-law is a scholar of Wenhua Pavilion, and her father is in charge of the second young master of our family in the Hanlin Academy, and the family is full of noble people, I didn't expect them to come here......"
Mama Lu is not well-informed in Kangguan City, like her father-in-law and teacher who is the prince, it is inevitable that she will be affected, but she really can't imagine that the maiden family of the eldest girl of the Qu family does not look in line, and she is actually exiled by the family, what happened in the capital? Who else is left?
Because she couldn't think of it, she said a few more words, this is cheap Xia Lily, she remembered that the original owner lost her mother at the age of six, but Xia Ruowei, who was fifteen years old at the time, was appointed as the crown princess when the Xia family was still there, and the three-year period of filial piety expired at the age of eighteen to be able to marry, and the status of the crown princess could not be shaken, and Xia Ruowei's side was naturally indispensable to curry favor.
can still think of making shoes for the youngest girl of the Xia family who is young and not very sensible, I am afraid that it is not only to please Xia Ruowei, but also out of the kindness of friends, right?
The relationship is good, how can I have to visit again after seeing it, Xia Lily reminded herself to remember this matter and not to show flaws.
"Third girl, it's time to get to the place, the old slave has gone to call the door?" The carriage stopped, and Mama Lu's voice couldn't help but tremble.
"Wait until I come down first...... Xia Lily jumped neatly from the carriage without Ruizhu's support, and looked at the farmer in front of her.
