Chapter Twenty-Eight: Bringing Back Good News
Taking advantage of Ying Fei's eyes staring at Ye Qiu's body, Yue Xi immediately slipped out of the open window of the kitchen, and then went straight through the livestock shed to look at the donkey Baoqi who was eating forage there, and then climbed over the wall and walked out of the yard under its gaze.
Ye Miancheng knew that he was waiting to see this little donkey, and Yuexi was absolutely relieved to keep him here.
After wandering around a few shops in the town, Yue Xi bought some food to coax the children, and bought a few thick and leafy cakes to put in the baggage, and walked towards Huagai Mountain on his back.
When she came out, she went around the mountain under the road, and when she went back, there was no donkey cart, she didn't have to worry about whether the road was good or not, set the direction, and copied the shortcut road that could be walked all the way, only to rest a little at night, and the next day at noon, Yue Xi turned around from the path of the col with a full of fine sweat beads, and saw the stone houses hidden in the woods!
The gate of the courtyard was open, and several women sat in the courtyard, embroidering flowers with flower bandages in their hands, and looked up at the courtyard from time to time, while Xilai, who was standing at the door, stretched her neck like a goose and looked around......
On one side, the little thing was seeing Yue Xi coming over with a smile, he cheered, and the girl greeted him: "Daddy is back!" Aunts, look, I'm not talking nonsense! ”
Throwing down the burden on his shoulders, Yue Xi smiled and stretched out his arms to catch him, Xilai didn't wait for her to exert himself, he climbed on her body neatly, his two hands tightly wrapped around her neck, and his little face kept rubbing against Yue Xi's face: "Daddy...... Daddy......"
"Look at the sweat on my face, don't rub it......" Yue Xi dodged back hard, but Xilai hugged her neck harder: "Daddy, I dreamed of you!" ”
"Oh?" Yue Xi saw that this kid didn't dislike himself at all, and he was also happy in his heart, and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek: "Is it wetting the bed again?" Was you scolded by your aunts? ”
"No ......" The little boy is so old and occasionally wets the bed, and is often painted by the cloud with a few jokes, and now that Yue Xi said it, he also knew the cold, and frowned, and then put his head on Yue Xi's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Do I just want to be a daddy......"
Yue Xi sighed secretly in his heart.
Xilai has been raised as a girl since she was a child, although she later learned that she was a male doll, but the habits she developed in a few years are so easy to change?
Now he will show a bit of a woman's appearance from time to time in his gestures, Yue Xi is afraid that he will become a man with five or three rough eyebrows and orchid fingers when he grows up, so he has always let him follow him, so it is difficult for him to be a woman and a woman.
"Master!" Yun Hua and Xia Ran walked quickly to Yue Xi's side and saluted, Yun Hua lifted the burden on the ground and couldn't help frowning and muttered in a low voice: "After walking such a long mountain road, why are you still carrying things back?" It must be another snack for Xilai, he is seven years old, and he is still used to ......"
"My son, I'm not used to whom?" Yue Xi smiled and kissed Xilai's cheek again, put the child on the ground, reached out and grabbed the burden in Yunhua's hand and stuffed it into Xilai's hand: "Son, what your Aunt Yunhua said is right, many of these are snacks bought for you." Manly husband, carry it yourself, don't let the aunts laugh! ”
"Whoa!" Xilai nodded with a smile, and carried the burden with all his strength and struggled to move it into the yard.
"Yuexi is back, this big family always lets you go out alone to suffer...... Jiang Lan Jinniang also came around, you said a word, with a smile on your face, and you saw her happy from the bottom of her heart!
"Oh, the girls are sensible! It can be seen that it doesn't hurt you in vain......" Yue Xi stretched out his paws with a hippie smile, and caught a glimpse of Su Jinyan who was standing at the door and looking at this side, her hand touched Jiang Lan's face: "Lan Lan, our son has dreamed of me, have you dreamed of me?" ”
Su Jinyan's face immediately darkened, and he grinded his teeth helplessly......
"you! Nothing big or small! Jiang Lan opened her hand, but she still said with a smile on her face: "You say it's also evil, Xilai has been talking about it since yesterday that you are coming back today, our sisters still don't believe it, after lunch, this child can't stay in the yard, I have to pick you up, who dares to let him run around by himself in this barren mountains and mountains?" No, we're all in the yard with him......"
Several women chattered around Yue Xi, and everyone entered the courtyard together.
"Master," Gao Wen, who was standing in the courtyard, also came over to salute Yue Xi, but was stopped by her raising her hand: "Don't mind!" Our family counts how old you are, let's not come to this set again in the future, we are tired! ”
"This is the rule......" Gawain straightened up, smiling kindly.
Yue Xi felt that if she dipped him in a gray beard, it might look more pleasing to the eye, or she would always feel that something was wrong with the old man's smooth chin.
"Wow! You've made a big table again! When she entered the courtyard, she saw the newly made long dining table at the door of the kitchen, Yue Xi walked over quickly, and after a circle, she nodded and said, "Your hand is really coincidental!" ”
"What is this!" Gao Gonggong followed and walked over, and said with a little pride: "I know how to do more skills, not to mention making a table, even if I build a house!" ”
"Awesome!" Yue Xi picked his thumbs with both hands, pouted and exclaimed: "When my son marries his daughter-in-law, the new house will be built for you!" ”
"What is this?" Gao Gonggong is steady, and it is rare for him to brag a few words. After the cowhide was blown, he felt that he had promised too hastily, so he said a little embarrassedly: "When I get married, I am already old, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to build a house by myself, so it will take a few people to send me a few people, master." ”
"That's not a problem." Yue Xi sat on the chair that Yunhua had placed for her at the dining table, reached out and took the cloth towel that Xia Ran threw at her and wiped her face, and then stretched out her hand and pointed at the black face
Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Jinyan, who had a black face, and said: "Send him to you, he has strength in this courtyard, don't be polite, just instruct him!" ”
Su Jinyan raised his head and shook his head with a wry smile on the smiling faces of everyone looking at him.
There is no one who has such a meat and vegetarian master......
"Yuexi, did you find out any news on this trip?" Everyone laughed, watched her sit down and took a breath, Jin Niang asked in a low voice.
When she opened her mouth, everyone closed their mouths, and they all stared at Yue Xi, waiting for her to speak in fear.
"Alas!" Yue Xi put away his smile, let out a long sigh, and then opened the burden on the table, took out all the kinds of food inside, opened it one by one and set a table, and then said to everyone: "Eat, you will have to eat these things in the future......"
Such a result can be said to have been expected by everyone for a long time, so the expressions on everyone's faces were much more relaxed than Yue Xi.
"Isn't it just hiding in the mountains? It's okay, it's a hundred times better than not being able to eat and drink in the palace and wait for death! On the eve of the moon, you also eat. Jiang Lan casually took a piece of snack from the oiled paper bag and gave it to her: "Are you hungry?" I'll cook for you! ”
"Hey, hey!" Yue Xi didn't take snacks but reached out and grabbed Jiang Lan, who was getting up to go into the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Who said we want to live here forever?" ”
"Huh?!"
A courtyard of people, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Yue Xi's sly expression, and then his eyes lit up: "Is there good news?" ”
Yue Xi raised his eyebrows, and then nodded: "It is indeed good news, your great names and positions have been written off in the palace, that is to say, the fire in this palace has taken away all the people there, and there will be no more concubines and concubines in the future, and there will be no palace maids and maids!" ”
"Oops! It's true? After a while, Jin Niang looked at Yue Xi in disbelief and asked, "We...... Are they all free? ”
"Hmm." Yue Xi nodded with a smile in his eyes.
"Yuexi, you didn't coax us, did you?" Chu Huihui also asked in the same tone as Jin Niang.
"No, ......" Yue Xi replied in a long voice, and was afraid that she would not be able to see her shaking her head with bad eyes, so she added: "It was the king of Chengping County who also told me personally, of course it can't be fake!" ”
"But I look forward to seeing this day alive......" Jiang Lan, who was standing beside Yue Xi, didn't finish her sentence, tears had already flowed out, she glanced at Su Jinyan who was leaning against the courtyard gate with teary eyes, and then turned around and covered her mouth and cried 'woo'.
Tears are contagious.
In the blink of an eye, the people in the courtyard, except for Yue Xi and Xilai, whose mouth was stuffed, even Gao Gonggong secretly wiped his eyes.
Yue Xi stretched out his hand to pull Xilai, and picked a piece of snack from the table and handed it to him, his heart was also sour and uncomfortable.
She had been in the palace with them for six years, and no one knew their feelings better than she did.
From living and waiting for death, to finally being able to live seriously, the pain in the hearts of these people is difficult to describe in words.
It seems that there is no other way to vent the grievances accumulated in my heart except crying......
"How many of them are the big ones?"
Finally waiting for everyone's feelings to slowly calm down, Yue Xi found that there were several people missing: "Big man, Aunt Wang!" ”
She pulled her neck and shouted in the direction of several rooms: "The master is back, why do you all come out!" ”
"They're not home." Xilai's mouth was full of food, and his speech was slurred.
"The eldest uncle dug several big pits in the woods, saying that he wanted to catch the mountain jump!"
"Mountain jumping?" Yue Xi frowned, not understanding what the kid was talking about.
"It's a hare." Su Jinyan said: "There are a lot of wild things around us, and the big brother moved his mind, saying that he would catch a few and come back to roast and eat." ”
"Let's go, let's go!" Yue Xi came to her senses as soon as she heard this, and she didn't care about walking for a day, the soles of her feet were blistered, and she pulled Xilai and walked out.
"Master, don't go!" Xia Ran was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled her and said, "There are a lot of pits dug in the forest, and I dropped Xilai into it in the morning, so you better wait for them to come back!" ”
"Yo! What is this thing called? Yue Xi looked at Xi with a smile and said, "Son, why don't you have that mountain jump cleverness?" ”
"It's not just me, even the eldest uncle fell down by himself." Xilai said disapprerovingly: "If I hadn't pulled him out, I wouldn't have fallen......"
"Awesome!" Yue Xi pouted and said, "Dig a pit, even pit yourself, this is crazy, right?" ”
