65. Chapter 65
Xie Liangying stared at Zeng's face and kept looking, almost trying to see a flower in her face. It wasn't until Zeng touched her face embarrassedly that she withdrew her gaze.
"Mrs. Zeng...... Your face, what's going on? โ
Zeng smiled, it turned out to be this. She said: "This is the method taught by Imperial Doctor Cai. When he was originally practicing medicine in the whole country, he was afraid that the enemy would come to his door, so he came up with a way to use a kind of medicinal powder to wipe on his face, so that ordinary people would not recognize it. After all, I'm not very clean, so it's better to change my appearance when I go out this time, so as not to let someone with a heart recognize you and not cause you trouble. โ
What Zeng said was unclean was because she now hung up the name of nowhere in the Liu family. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Liu family at all, so she simply changed her face and told people not to report to the Liu family.
Xie Liangying nodded knowingly, and was also interested in this medicinal powder that could change the appearance. She decided to wait until she came back and ask Zeng about the recipe for this powder, and try it herself another day.
There was suddenly another person in the room, and I had to talk to the housekeeper. Yan was in a coma, and the eldest lady was not in the house. Xie Liangying took the Zeng family to see the grandmother of the Xie family, and informed her that after crossing the bright road, he would take people with him tomorrow and follow him. She used Xue Jian's Zhuangzi who was not worried about going to Qiyang Palace, so she specially sent a grandmother to serve her.
Anyway, in the grandmother of the Xie family, as long as Xue Jian's name is raised, she can generally pass the test.
The grandmother of the Xie family is old, and she can't see Zeng's appearance very clearly. Although she also felt familiar, but when she looked closely, she didn't feel like anyone she knew. She said: "Since it is Yunyang Hou's intention, then you can accept it." Anyway, I only stayed in the house for one night, and I didn't need to teach the rules. It's just that you have to serve your master with all your heart, but there is nothing else. โ
Zeng kowtowed to the grandmother of the Xie family and thanked Mrs. Xie. Xie Liangying watched from the sidelines, and felt that Zeng's was really like a familiar grandmother who was used to serving people.
After the grandmother of the Xie family, there is nothing to be afraid of. The second room is now only concerned about living his life behind closed doors, except for the usual dinner invitations, he can also meet a few times, and he can't meet together when he is next to him.
Xie Liangying asked Mama Lian to arrange a room for Zeng's family, and it will be one night for the time being. I told her that I would leave early the next morning.
Since the Zeng family hit the Liufu, he has not been up late, and he does not feel sad.
When there is something to do, time always flies. Night soon came, and lanterns were hung throughout the Xie Mansion. Xie Liangying and Zeng's two compartments rested, and after waking up, they were full of energy, and they were ready to go.
Just when they were about to leave the mansion, the Wei family also sent someone over, saying that Xie Liangying would be able to pass over now, and Mrs. Wei had arranged everything there.
Xie Liangying said with a smile: "I'm tired of the little brother to go back and say to the old lady, I'm going to pick up someone here, and I'll go over together when I get it." โ
The Wei family servant said: "Then the slave will go back, and please Miss Xie Wu hurry up." โ
"Got it."
Xie Liangying boarded the carriage and ordered the coachman to hurry in the direction of the Qiyang Palace.
The Wei family did not leave anytime soon. He is a subordinate, and the master of the Xie family is also half his master, so he can't ask who Xie Liangying is going to. So he specially kept an eye on it, and avoided Xie Liangying's carriage when it came out, wanting to see clearly what direction the carriage was heading.
The carriage went all the way along the avenue at the entrance and turned left at the third fork. The Wei family knew that most of the directions were the residences of the princes and princes in Beijing, so he calculated it in his heart, roughly guessed who Xie Liangying was going to look for, and then went back to the Wei family.
When Mrs. Wei heard that the little maid came back to report that Xie Liangying was going to pick up someone, she said curiously: "She's not in a hurry to come here, who are she going to find?" โ
The little guy said: "I paid attention and looked at the direction of the carriage, about ...... It's to find which princess and princess of the county. โ
Wei Shi frowned slightly after hearing this, and couldn't guess who Xie Liangying was going to find early in the morning. However, Xie Liangqing, who was more worried about the uncertain life and death in her heart, felt a little resentful of Xie Liangying in her heart at the moment. Yesterday it looked stable, why did I get out like this today. Is there anything you can't do after you come back from Nanzhili? I can't tell which is more important, but it's still a child's nature.
Old Madam Wei naturally saw her daughter's thoughts, she patted her hand, and said, "I don't think that child is a bad child. Maybe it's going to move some kind of rescuers, and I can't tell you. If she really couldn't figure out the severity, she wouldn't be in a hurry to send someone to Nanzhili to check on Aqing's current situation. โ
Wei listened to his mother's persuasion and put away the careful eyes in his stomach. "It's my daughter who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
"No, let's wait, it's not too much time left and right. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so you can eat some with me. You didn't eat much yesterday. Old Madam Wei comforted, "Don't worry about Aqing, isn't this my grandmother, my in-law?" Can I still let her be wronged? โ
Last night, Mrs. Wei came back from the next court and was very happy to see her daughter, who rarely came back since she got married. Taking advantage of Wei's return this time, after hearing about Xie Liangqing's accident, Mrs. Wei spared no effort to persuade her daughter, wanting her to nod her head about leaving at that time. After a meal, I don't know how many eyes were whitened by Mrs. Wei. It's rare for a family to have a reunion dinner, and this old man knows how to mix blindly.
Wei personally carried Mrs. Wei into the house. As early as when Mrs. Wei said that she wanted to eat, the clever maid put out two bowls of porridge that had been simmering on the small stove, and took out all kinds of side dishes prepared in the food box to eat on the road. The porridge is fragrant, and people can't help but move their index fingers.
Mrs. Wei took Wei to sit down and specially sandwiched her daughter's favorite rose sauce melon slices for her. "Eat more. Don't Aqing came back, but you fell ill. When the time comes, I don't know who to take care of when I'm an old bone. Is it that Aqing saw that your body was not appropriate, and with her pure filial piety, she didn't cry like a tearful person? โ
Old Madam Wei sighed: "You two are really the same in this regard. I don't know where so much water comes from, I don't think I'm like that. โ
Wei took a sip of porridge and said with a smile: "My mother also said that when my father wanted to go out, you were not allowed to go, I don't know how many tears were shed in secret." โ
Old Madam Wei pretended to be angry, "Okay, you, you actually arranged your own mother." โ
Seeing that Wei finally showed a smiling face, Old Madam Wei's heart was also relieved. She is going to Nanzhili, and the most reassuring thing is her daughter. I'm afraid that she will be worried and sad in Beijing every day, and she will not be around, so she can't be persuaded. However, how can the people's hearts be persuaded by others, in the final analysis, you still have to see for yourself.
When Mrs. Wei and the Wei family finished breakfast, Xie Liangying also arrived.
Because the time was relatively tight, Mrs. Wei didn't let Xie Liangying in, but went to the second gate by herself. In this way, you can get into the carriage and go.
As soon as she arrived at the second gate, she couldn't help but smile when she saw the carriage of the Qiyang Palace, pointed to the carriage and said to the Wei family: "Look at what I said is right, isn't this just going to move the rescue soldiers?" She looked at Xie Liangying, who got out of the carriage, and teased, "I knew that the old princess was going, then I could take a rest." Who in Beijing doesn't know that if the old princess goes out, there is nothing that cannot be done in this world. You can fight and retreat when you get on the horse, and you can clean up the filthy officials when you get off the horse. When I look at her, there is nothing I dare to do. โ
The old princess opened the curtain and said angrily: "You know how to arrange me!" Have I ever gone to war? How have you ever cleaned up corrupt officials and corrupt officials? โ
Old Madam Wei replied as she got into the carriage, "Yo, don't deny it." At the time of the first emperor, who couldn't rest assured that the old prince would run to the front line single-handedly without anyone taking land? I heard that the old prince was trapped by the enemy army, and he raised his knife to kill him without saying a word? Not to mention the rescue of the old prince, he also gave the derelict grain transport officer a good beating when he came back. This is not the end, I returned to Beijing and participated in another book. โ
She laughed at Xie Liangying, "This incident can make me remember it for a lifetime, and I have never encountered such a funny thing." You're young, so you don't know. At that time, for this lawsuit, the first emperor hid for several days and did not dare to go to court. โ
The old princess said: "You just remember it, and you won't be too tired to panic if you remember it for a lifetime." โ
Old Madam Wei said through the curtain: "Not only do I have to remember it for a lifetime, but I also bring it into the coffin." When I got to Lord Yama, I had to tell him. โ
The old princess snorted heavily and stopped talking.
Xie Liangying held back a smile and got into the carriage with the help of Shuangjue.
Although these two old ladies fought fiercely, anyone could see that the relationship was really good. When they were young, they were still young ladies in the boudoir or brides, and they quarreled like this.
Before the carriage moved, Wei specially walked to the side of Xie Liangying's carriage and whispered, "Ah Ying, my mother will ask you, take care of the road." โ
Xie Liangying nodded, "Auntie don't worry, I will do my best." โ
Wei nodded and took a few steps back.
The carriage slowly drove away from the second gate of the Wei family.
Wei Shi looked at the carriage in the distance, and clenched the Buddha beads in his hands tightly - that was given to her by her mother last night when she slept with Mrs. Wei. This is an object that his mother has not left for many years, and Wei naturally understands that his mother gave this to himself in the hope of diverting his attention a little and not pushing himself too hard. Old Madam Wei's hard work, how could the Wei family not accept this love.
Until he couldn't see the carriage anymore, Wei Shifang turned around and said to the bridal grandmother who was left yesterday: "Grandma pack up, let's go back to Xie Mansion." โ
"Yes." The marrying grandmother said again, "Don't wait for the old lady to come back from the next dynasty and say goodbye?" โ
Wei Shi walked inside, and replied, "No, when will it take?" I just said goodbye to my sister-in-law and younger siblings. If I go back a few minutes late, there will be people in the Xie Mansion who say that I am not. The dignified mound woman actually lingered in her mother's house and left her in-law's family behind. When the time comes, the clan will not know what to think of me. โ
Now that he has made up his mind to reconcile and separate, Wei will never let others catch his mistakes. She will never give the Xie family a reason to give up, otherwise she will lose the face of her mother's family, and she will have to be tired of the marriage of several of her nieces.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu. Wei's thoughts had long been expected by Mrs. Wei, who was not by her daughter's side. Old Madam Wei knows Wei's temperament very well, if she hasn't figured it out, she will still go all the way to the dark. But once you make up your mind, you can't pull back eight cows. And will be single-minded to do things to the extreme.
I taught it all by myself. Except for the fact that Mrs. Wei felt that she had taught Wei too seriously, she was extremely satisfied with everything else. She even felt that even if the Wei family wanted to marry for the second time after leaving, she would never marry worse than the Xie family.
A multi-faceted second-married woman is much more sought-after than a little girl who doesn't know anything. What's more, the Wei family's family background is not bad, and the old lady Wei and her sons are either the noble Hanlin Academy, or the powerful officials in the household department. Not to mention filling the house for the newly bereaved wife's third-rank official, it is also for the second lord's mansion to make the main room.
Old Mrs. Wei, who was on the road with peace of mind, felt a little bored after a while. When she was younger, she enjoyed being alone. There is no trouble from her children, and there is no need to stare at her family to see if she is in trouble. Now that I'm older, I like the excitement.
Especially along the way, there is an old Princess Qiyang who will never stop.
Old Madam Wei didn't believe it, that one would be able to hold her temperament. She held back and waited for a few more words when the other side said that they wanted to ride in the carriage together.
But the same thoughts, the old princess also has them. We have known each other for decades, so how can we not know each other's temperament. The old princess can also hold back and not mention it, just see who loses herself or Mrs. Wei first.
There are three carriages, the one at the head is the old princess's, the one in the middle is Mrs. Wei's, and Xie Liangying is the last one.
Xie Liangying lifted the curtain and poked her head out to look ahead. She retracted her gaze and said to Zeng: "The old princess and Mrs. Wei are really calm. I'm suffocating to death when I sit alone. โ
Zeng's came this time as Mama Zeng. She and Shuangjue sat together with Xie Liangying in the carriage. It's just that the three of them usually meet often, and they have already talked about what they should say and what they can say. It took several days to go from the capital to Nanzhili, and I couldn't repeat what I had said before. But sitting like this, it's also very uncomfortable.
There was a commotion outside the carriage, and Xie Liangying lifted the corner of the curtain to peek at it curiously. She saw a number of carriages passing by them, one of which she recognized.
It was Liu Chengfang's carriage as Princess Ke.
Xie Liangying raised her eyebrows, "Cousin Chengfang doesn't stay in King Ke's mansion, how can she come out and mess with these people?" โ
The carriages on both sides were not running fast, so Xie Liangying could still recognize who was in the carriage with Liu Chengfang. Most of them are not very famous people in the capital, looking at the decoration of the carriage, both men and women.
Zeng sneered and said, "The fifth girl doesn't know yet, right?" Princess Ke fell out with King Ke and moved out of the mansion by herself. She didn't even go back to her mother's house, maybe because she knew that after the ugly things she did were known by the second elder of the Liu family, she would have to be counted. Now he is living in his own dowry village. That Zhuangzi and the five girls are still somewhat related. โ
Xie Liangying raised her eyebrows, "Oh? โ
"That Zhuangzi was originally a dowry made by Mrs. Xie for her daughter, and later Liu Yuanzheng's original wife died, and the dowry became Princess Ke's." Zeng pouted, "Back then, they defended me like something. Who is rare about those things? Can my eyelids be so shallow? Phew, I can't look at it at all. โ
Xie Liangying knew that these past events were the thorn that pierced Zeng's heart. If Liu Chengfang was willing to show mercy to his subordinates at that time and didn't toss Liu Qingfang, maybe the Zeng family would not have such a big temperament. But after Liu Chengfang was kicked out of the house, she almost died of illness. Didn't the Zeng family hate Liu Chengfang and the Liu family miserably?
It's a pity that there is no if. If Liu Chengfang doesn't kill Zeng and Liu Qingfang, it won't be her temperament.
Thinking of this, Xie Liangying had to sigh. A person's character determines what path he will take. Isn't that true of yourself? In her previous life, she blindly went to her mother's family, but in the end, the Xie family gave her something. gnawed her own bones, drank her own blood, ate her own flesh, and as soon as she turned around, a bottle of โกโก was stuffed into her mouth.
Xie Liangying was thinking about her thoughts, and asked in a daze: "Then what is the matter with Cousin Chengfang's calling men and women like this now?" โ
Zeng said disdainfully: "Who knows her? Anyway, since she left King Ke, she has been so lively every day, and she actually brought the eldest prince of King Ke's mansion with her. I don't know what King Ke's Mansion thinks, and I'm not afraid of tossing a sister-in-law into trouble. That is the only concubine of King Ke's mansion. โ
Xie Liangying came back to her senses and stopped mentioning Liu Chengfang. She saw that the two old ladies in front of her had not moved, and said, "That's it, the old princess and the old lady Wei are angry, and they don't have to make us suffer with us." She said to Shuangjue, "You go to the front and say something, just say that I have a delicate temperament, and I am bored in the car alone, and ask the two old ladies if they would like to sit together." Without us, you can laugh in a carriage. You woke up early in the morning and haven't eaten yet, have you? If you're hungry, your stomach hurts when you're hungry, and that's not fun. โ
Shuangjue said: "Then I will thank Madame for her kindness, so I will go to the front and ask the two of you what they mean." โ
Seeing that someone broke the deadlock, the old princess and Mrs. Wei were naturally happy. The two of them were already holding back, so as soon as Shuangjue came over to ask, they responded immediately.
The three carriages were ordered by their masters to stop immediately. The carriage of the Qiyang Royal Mansion was the most spacious, so there were three masters. The carriage at the beginning was the carriage of the Xie family, although it was smaller, but it was newer, and there were a few old women sitting in it. Zeng and Shuangjue were reluctant to separate, and got into the last Wei family carriage together.
When everything was arranged, the carriage moved forward again.
The old princess let out a long sigh of relief in the carriage, and finally someone had spoken to her. Her son and daughter-in-law, for fear that she would be too jumpy and spicy, and when the time came, she would overdo it without paying attention, so the people sent to follow her were all stuffy gourds, and they couldn't make a fart for three days.
Old Madam Wei's city is the deepest of the three, she doesn't show it on her face, but she feels much more relaxed in her heart. Gain was holding his breath and had to compete with the old princess. Now that I have achieved my goal all of a sudden, I let out a breath, and the string in my heart has loosened.
Xie Liangying asked the two of them to sit together, not only because of the long distance, but also because they wanted to relieve their boredom. More importantly, I want to ask the two old people who have gone through the ups and downs and handled things properly, after arriving in Nanzhili, how to do it more appropriately. She herself is not a person who likes to fight, after repeated setbacks in her previous life, she has always been submissive, relying on Xue Jian for everything. After being reborn, many things have not had time to be done, or they are just gently pushed, and things are done.
Now if you really want to have a real war with people, Xie Liangying really has no score in her heart.
Although the old princess said that when she arrived in Nanzhili, she just went to talk to Mrs. Cao and Feng Xiang, but after all, she was entrusted by Xue Jian, and she couldn't really be a shopkeeper. Hearing Xie Liangying ask for advice from herself, she said: "I'm an outsider, I can't interject, even if I go to the Li Mansion to suppress the formation, my heart is very empty." It's Nan Zhili's team, I can say a few words for you. The old princess also wondered in her heart, "The son of the Li family, who is an official in Beijing, I remember that he is only a fifth-grade official, right?" The so-called daughter who is pregnant with a dragon son is just a concubine who is not particularly favored. Why is Old Madam Li so majestic? I look a little older than the Queen Mother. โ
Being an official and achieving five grades is a hurdle. If you go up, one day, you may be one person below ten thousand people, become a scholar, and become a prime minister. The sons of the Li family, who are officials in Beijing, are almost forty years old, and they are still wandering around the five grades, and it is a big unknown whether they can go in the future. He was able to rely on the money to buy off the officials or ministers, and go to the south to ask for an official from the fourth grade. But everyone knows that Nanzhili's Cong Si Pin is worse than the six Pin in Beijing.
Besides, the officials are now all looking at the white phase. And people like Li Fu can't look down on Bai Xiang. Now that he wants power and power, he wants people to have people, and Bai Xiang is no longer the person who didn't care about it in order to climb up. He also wants to pick people, and not everyone who is willing to surrender accepts it. With Bai Xiang's current power, I am afraid that no amount of silver will be used - much richer than the Li family.
Old Madam Wei listened to the old princess's words and chuckled, "Look, this is what a straight person like you can't figure out." Without waiting for the staring old princess to speak, she continued, "Although Nan Zhili is the capital of the city, the emperor is far away. Although Feng Xiang is said to be a phase, compared to the one surnamed Bai in Beijing, it is far behind, right? How many people in the Nanzhili team have never passed through Beijing since they were transferred to Nanzhili, and if they want to know the wind direction and news in Beijing, they can only report to Di. But how many clues can be seen in the newspaper? There are always such multi-minded people who make a fuss by those ambiguous words. โ
She motioned to Xie Liangying to stuff a hidden sac behind her waist, so that she could be more comfortable by leaning down. "As long as they dare to brag, someone will dare to believe it. Not to mention the officials of Nanzhili, the people there are afraid that they haven't even touched the edge of the Di Bao, how do they know what happened? Old Madam Wei sneered, "That old lady Li is also stupid." I don't know if I really took those lies seriously, thinking that my son and daughter crawling out of my stomach were angry. I still believe in the instigation of such deceitful masters and subordinates who are accustomed to speaking good and obedient. actually walked sideways in Nanzhili. โ
Xie Liangying also felt that it was very strange that the Li family was so bullying, and she asked, "Isn't there still Feng Xiang in Nanzhili, and there are other officials?" They don't care? โ
Old Madam Wei sneered and nodded Xie Liangying's forehead, "Silly girl." โ
"Huh?" Xie Liangying was stunned by Old Madam Wei's voice. She rubbed her sore forehead and looked at the two old ladies in bewilderment.
"I know that." The old princess said, "Although Nanzhili also has a set of teams of three provinces and six departments, it is said to be the same as the capital, but everyone knows that it is far behind. Except for Feng Xiang, who was specially sent by the Holy Lord to โกโก, who next to him didn't sharpen his head and want to squeeze into the capital? This person can't be in a hurry. Once you are in a hurry, you can't see the shape clearly. Treat a fake sparrow as a real phoenix. thought that he could rely on the Li family, who was a little flowery in Beijing. โ
Saying this, Xie Liangying understood. No wonder even Nanzhili's Mansion Yin is willing to sell the Li family's face, thinking that he wants to let the Li family say a few good words in front of the emperor at that time, and promote himself back to Beijing.
"It's just that I pity the second sister, such a good person, who was born to go to that kind of place." Xie Liangying said with regret, "If the marriage is decided, how good it would be for my grandfather and grandmother to be able to check it again." โ
Old Madam Wei sneered, "Even if the second elder of the Xie family doesn't nod and agree to this family matter, but your good uncle recognizes someone else as a family member, what else can they say?" After all, the grandparents are separated by a layer, and the marriage is still the master of the parents. No matter how much authority they have in the family, they can't overpower it. Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly looked at Xie Liangying with a straight face, "Didn't the old woman toss my eldest granddaughter to death?" The Li family does not have more than one son, and I feel that maybe Nanzhili and the people next to him have also suffered crimes. But the mother's family didn't dare to come forward, so they suffered this sin. โ
Xie Liangying thought thoughtfully, "What does the old lady mean...... After arriving in Nanzhili, ask someone to check if there are any people who are related to the Li family? โ
Old Madam Wei nodded, "It's not just about this idea, I expect them to be bold, even outside the mansion, there will be no shortage of bullying men and women." I heard that Mrs. Li has a lot of concubines? Of course, some people are willing to give it to him, but how many local good families in Nanzhili have been robbed into the house? I don't believe there is any of them! A good woman from a good family, once she becomes a concubine who trades through trading, who can be willing? It's just that I'm just suffering from this anger. If someone is willing to stand up for themselves, they will be the first to come out. โ
Xie Liangying wrote down all the words that Old Madam Wei said.
While the three of them were talking, they arrived at the post station. Before I could get out of the car, I heard a commotion outside.
Old Madam Wei was careful and stopped the old princess who was about to get off the car, "Wait in the car for a while, we didn't bring a few little girls this time, most of them are women." Most of the people who come and go here are related to the capital. Ah Ying is not married yet, in case he collides with her, turning around and asking people to recognize her is not good for her reputation. โ
Although the old princess was impatient, Mrs. Wei's words were reasonable, so she endured it and didn't get out of the car.
The three of them waited for Mama to tell her outside the car that she was okay, and then got out of the car.
Because they came out this time for a private matter, and there was no official document on them, they couldn't live at the post station, and they couldn't even rest. The post house was specially prepared for officials with official documents, as well as messengers who reported the news urgently. When ordinary people come here, they can only live in hotels that are opened next to the post station. Those inns are dedicated to the business of people like Xie Liangying who can't stay at the post station.
Before the masters got out of the car, the mothers had already used the money to charter a hotel that looked cleaner. The tent on the side of the hotel has also been erected, and when people nearby look at it, they will know which noble lady or noble girl in Beijing is going out, and they can't bump into it.
The hostel is a mom-and-pop shop, small but clean. Xie Liangying looked around and was quite satisfied.
"Three distinguished guests, please have tea." The proprietress made the tea she had just taken from Mama and brought it to them. She has been running a shop here for several years, so she knows that many dignitaries don't eat outside things, so she doesn't have any opinions about the grandmothers' actions. Anyway, it's just a lot of silver.
"I'm tired." Xie Liangying picked up the tea on the table to warm her hands.
When she had nothing to do, she looked at the proprietress instead. About because all the guests came this time, the boss was busy in the back, and the work of greeting the guests in front was done by the proprietress .
This proprietress looks okay, not as good as a passerby, but she is attractive. When I looked at it, I didn't think it was beautiful, but after looking at it for a long time, I felt that there was a taste different from that of the ladies and ladies in Beijing. She was wearing a clean blue linen dress, and the hemp material was easy to wrinkle, but the proprietress was very neat, and she should have ironed it before wearing it. She had a women's bun on her head near the capital, which was worn by ordinary women, and she made some changes to make it look much simpler. Probably because I have to get up early every day to open a shop and do business, I don't have that time to do my hair.
Xie Liangying looked at the proprietress 's bun and felt that something was wrong. She jerked herself to her feet, approached the proprietress and startled the person. She didn't care about the disapproving eyes of the old princess and Mrs. Wei, and blindly wanted to see the boss's bun clearly.
"Bang", the teacup in Xie Liangying's hand fell to the ground and shattered. The dry loess mud floor in the hotel was soaked with tea, and Xie Liangying stepped on it and dirty a pair of embroidered shoes.
Old Madam Wei frowned and scolded, "Ah Ying, sit down!" What does it look like! โ
Xie Liangying pointed to the proprietress 's bun, and before the words could be spoken, two lines of tears fell first. "Dare to ask the lady, where did the hairpin on the bun come from?"
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out and touched the hairpin in the bun. She saw that Xie Liangying cared very much, so she simply took it down and handed it to the other party. Anyway, this hairpin is not something of unknown origin.
Xie Liangying hurriedly took the hairpin and looked at it repeatedly.
Can't be wrong! Can't be wrong!
The proprietress didn't know what was wrong with Xie Liangying, she was crying and laughing. She said timidly: "This hairpin was given to me by a woman a few days ago. She asked me if I could exchange this hairpin for some nests for her, and I saw that this hairpin was beautiful, so I agreed. She turned her head to look at the old lady Wei and the old princess with uncertain faces, "Is it ...... What's wrong with this hairpin? โ
If there was a problem, then she wouldn't dare ask for it. But a few nests in exchange for nothing is worth much.
Xie Liangying squeezed the hairpin tightly and asked, "What was that woman like at that time?" Where did she go? โ
The proprietress has a lot of guests to receive every day, so she thought for a while before she remembered, "The woman was dressed in tattered clothes, her face was very dirty, and she couldn't see her original appearance anymore." However, although the material of the clothes was dirty, it could be seen that it should have been good, at least it was worn by a woman from a rich family. After she changed nests with me, she asked me where I was going in the capital. I showed her the way, and I never saw her again. โ
Xie Liangying took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from the purse on his waist and stuffed it into the hand of the proprietress, "I took one hundred taels to buy this hairpin with you." โ
The proprietress was ecstatic, one hundred taels is not a small amount, where is there any reason to disagree.
At this point, if Mrs. Wei and the old princess still can't see anything, they will have lived in vain for so many years.
Old Madam Wei slowly stood up from the stool, looked at the hairpin that Xie Liangying was holding tightly in her hand, and asked her in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes...... Aqing ......"
Xie Liangying kept nodding heavily.
Old Madam Wei got Xie Liangying's affirmation, and suddenly fell backwards. Fortunately, the old princess quickly helped her up.
"Alive, alive!" Old Madam Wei cried and laughed, "Still alive!" โ
The old princess also had tears in her eyes, kept patting Old Madam Wei's back, repeating her words, "Well, I'm still alive." โ
The proprietress hugged the tray and stepped back without a trace. She really can't understand these nobles in Beijing.
Xie Liangying didn't care about taking the handkerchief, so she wiped the tears off her face with her sleeve and fell on the hairpin.
Great, the second sister is still alive!
