Chapter 441: Running away
Outside the door of Xianle House, several carriages were parked, and Jin Xin took the children to sit in the carriages.
Qiao Qiaokao was in Jin Xin's arms, looked up at her and asked, "Mother, are we going to move?" ”
Jin Xin smiled: "Yes, we have to move to another place to live." ”
"Aunt Qin and Brother Mingxi, are they going too?"
"yes, everyone."
"And where are we moving to?"
Lei Lei on the side also raised her head and asked, "Yes, mother, where are we going to move to?" ”
Jin Xin paused, and replied with a complicated expression: "Go to our original home." ”
Qiao Qiao blinked, puzzled: "The original home? Isn't this our original home? ”
Lei Lei said: "Mother, are we going to the place where we lived when we were children?" ”
Jin Xin smiled at Lei Lei: "Hmm." Yes. ”
Lei Lei frowned: "Mother, I don't like it there. ”
Jin Xin was stunned: "Why?" ”
"There's such a terrible aunt there!"
Lei Lei was still very young when she left the General's Mansion, but the child has a good memory, and vaguely remembers the events at that time, in my impression, once she was playing in the yard and accidentally fell, there was a very tall and beautiful aunt, dressed in strange clothes and walked towards her, although there was a smile on her face, but it made her heart very scared, and after that, her body was uncomfortable.
The body's memory is sometimes deeper than the brain.
Lei Lei thought back to the incident, and her body trembled, as if she still had the uncomfortable feeling she had at that time.
Jin Xin saw the resistance and panic in Lei Lei's eyes, her brows tightened slightly, and she also thought of Shangguan Ya, she stretched out her arms to hug Lei Lei, and said softly: "It's okay, Lei Lei, that aunt is not there now." ”
"But, mother......"
"We're just going to stay for a few days."
Jin Xin touched Lei Lei's cheek and said, "Lei Lei, there is a mother, don't be afraid, your mother will protect you." ”
Seeing Jin Xin say this, Lei Lei felt a lot more at ease, nodded her little head, and agreed.
Qiao Qiao looked at the conversation between her mother and sister, her face was dazed, she blinked her beautiful big eyes, and asked, "Mother, what terrible aunt?" ”
"Nothing."
Jin Xin scratched Qiao Qiao's nose.
She smiled at Qiao Qiao, then opened the window on one side, and looked out, the people around Shang Yu were closely following the side of the carriage, as if they were afraid that they would run away if they were careless.
Thinking of the environment in the general's mansion, Jin Xin's first feeling was a miasma, in the impression, this place did not leave a good impression on her, especially when there were several other women living in Yu Zijing, and then thinking of all kinds of unpleasant experiences in the past, they couldn't keep her in a good mood, although now Zheng Wanjiao, Liu Li and Shang Yun have left, but Tai Li and Qi Wan are still there, even if Yu Zijing is now full of eyes and eyes only she is a woman, but when he thinks of other women who are related to him, there is always a pimple in his heart, It's not pleasant.
Jin Xin sighed secretly in her heart, if it wasn't necessary, she really didn't want to go back.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the General's Palace.
The housekeeper at the gate of the general's mansion personally led people to wait outside the door for a long time, watched the carriage stop, hurriedly beckoned people to come over, ordered a few to go to the back carriage, and took a few to stand by the carriage in front, watched the coachman get off the carriage, put down the footstool, opened the door, saw Jin Xin sitting inside, bowed respectfully and said: "Madam, the inside is all open, just wait for Madame to move in." ”
Jin Xin nodded lightly, and then walked out of it with a pair of children left and right, and with the help of the family, he put the two children down in the carriage first, and then followed himself.
Ziqin, who was sitting in the carriage behind, also got out of the car with the three children of the Chen family and walked towards Jin Xin.
The next two carriages came down with two family members, and the family members of the general's mansion moved some of the luggage and items in the carriage together.
Jin Xin looked at the head of the guard under Shang Yu's name who was watching all the way, and said, "It's all here, should you follow it inside?" ”
The man bowed his head and said, "Naturally, not." General Shang had already instructed that Mrs. Tiance should be sent to the door of the General's Mansion, and Mrs. Shang could rest assured. ”
Jin Xin sneered, didn't answer, nodded to the housekeeper, and led people straight inside.
Shang family.
Shang Yu directly took a leave of absence from Gao Yanyan, and the elders in the family were quite harsh on him, and he was only relieved after listening to the lessons in Mrs. Shang's house.
When he came out of it, he breathed in the fresh air outside, and he couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief, and he felt a sense of relief.
Li Liang walked over.
Shang Yu walked outside the courtyard, and Li Liang followed.
Shang Yu asked, "Jin Xin was delivered?" ”
"Hmm. The person below replied that it had been delivered. Li Liang continued, and suddenly asked: "General, Jin Xin used to buy a happy house outside because she didn't like the General's Mansion, and at this juncture, she suddenly proposed to go back to the General's Mansion, don't you think it's a little strange?" ”
Shang Yu pinched his eyebrows and said, "It's a little strange. However, if she likes it, it is not that she cannot be satisfied. Perhaps, as she herself said, she has been under house arrest in a happy house, which makes her a little bored, and she wants to change her mood in a different environment. ”
"That's a bit far-fetched." Li Liang frowned, obviously not believing Jin Xin's rhetoric.
Shang Yu looked back at Li Liang and said, "Don't worry, we are staring so closely, can he still run away?" ”
He paused, looked into the distance, and said, "That is, she lives in the General's Mansion now, so I can't go in and out to see her as freely as before." ”
"Isn't that great? General, you don't have to lose control again and again. ”
Shang Yu smiled: "Li Liang, are you worried about me every day, and you can't help it, so you do something that doesn't care about the overall situation?" ”
“……”
"Rest assured. The reason why I was willing to let her move there was also to restrain my own feelings. ”
He said to himself, completely ignoring Li Liang's shocked expression on his face and walked away.
Li Liang watched from behind, his expression became more and more solemn, Shang Yu's words just now did not make him feel at ease, but made his heart turn up like a turbulent wave of uncalm.
Isn't those words an indirect admission that his feelings for Jin Xin are no longer extricable?
Li Liang knows that this is definitely not a good thing. The most taboo thing for those who do great things is nothing more than emotional things.
He kept his face composed, secretly feeling that he couldn't let things go any longer.
It's night. The study of Yu Zijing in the General's Mansion.
In the process of a dull long sound, a whole row of large bookcases placed against the wall were opened on both sides, and the faint light was lit up little by little from far and near, it was Ziqin who walked out of it with a lamp, and behind, Jin Xin followed quietly, after the two people came out, Ziqin carried the lamp to illuminate, Jin Xin turned around, his hand did not know where to touch, the dull sound sounded slightly again, and when the sound calmed down, the originally open bookcase was closed again.
Jin Xin leaned on the desk in front of the bookcase, sat on the chair, and said softly: "This secret passage is really secret, if it weren't for Zijing telling me where the switch is, I'm afraid I won't know that there is a secret passage here for the rest of my life, let alone find the switch that opens." ”
Jin Xin put the lamp on the table and said, "What Madame said is very true. This mansion is worthy of being designed and built by the general himself, and the people who use it are also the most trusted people, which is really a mystery. It's no wonder that the world says that the General's Mansion is one of the most mysterious places in the world, at first glance it is just a mansion, and how many secrets in it are unknown, including the small black house, including this secret passage, I don't know how many mysteries there are. ”
Jin Xin smiled: "At the moment, we only need to know this secret passage, and we don't have to care too much about the rest." ”
Ziqin nodded: "Hmm." ”
Ziqin asked again: "Madam, then shall we go directly through this secret passage at that time?" ”
"Hmm." Jin Xin said: "However, the time to leave must be chosen. Don't be too anxious, we've just moved here in the past few days, Shang Yu must be watching, let's settle down first during this time. Wait until these days have passed, and then act. ”
"Madame, when are we going to ask Black Spider to send a message to Madame Fang?"
"In two days. Wait until the day of departure is confirmed. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble in the middle. ”
"Understood."
Jin Xin got up and said, "Okay, it's not too early, we should go back." ”
The master and servant came out of the study and returned all the way back to the Golden House Pavilion, Jin Xin tiptoed to see the children, and saw that they were sleeping peacefully, so he returned to his room with peace of mind, and said a few more words to Ziqin before resting.
Eight days later.
Jin Xin hugged Qiao Qiao and led Lei Lei to walk, with Ziqin carrying a lantern in front of him, and the three children of the Chen family following closely behind.
Along the secret passage, twists and turns, several paths, and several secret rooms, and finally came to a wall, at the end of the narrow secret passage, a thick wall blocked the way.
"Ma'am." Ziqin looked back at Jin Xin.
Jin Xin put down the child, stepped forward, used both hands together, pressed a few wall tiles at a time, the technique was very fast, and the vision was not very clear, but when her hand stopped, she only paused, and the wall moved heavily and slowly, lifting up a little bit, with the thick wall moving up, bright light poured in from the outside, until the entire dark passage was illuminated.
Ziqin leaned over and glanced outside, and smiled happily: "Madam, we are out!" ”
A few children came along the way, feeling as if they were on an adventure, and at this moment, as if they had found the end of the journey, they had the joy of a winner, and they were so excited that they ran outside one by one.
Jin Xin and Ziqin hurriedly followed, and walked in the dark passage for almost a night, when they suddenly felt the sunlight outside, which was a little dazzling, and everyone couldn't help but raise their hands to block the overly enthusiastic light.
Jin Xin instructed Ziqin: "Look at the children." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Ziqin responded, so he opened up and pulled a few children who were running and jumping together to watch, while Jin Xin turned around, and I don't know where the mechanism moved, and closed the wall again, and then, there were trees that moved automatically, covering the wall.
The children looked at the scene in front of them, stunned and amazed.
Jin Xin turned around, this gave him the opportunity to glance at the outside environment, usually here, it was at night, and he couldn't see clearly at night, he only knew that this was a forest, and now he looked at it more clearly.
She had long known that this was the back of Beacon Mountain, and the other side of the mountain opposite here was Moon City.
"Mother, it's fun here!"
Qiao Qiao hugged Jin Xin's legs and shouted happily.
Jin Xin lowered his head, looked at the child's innocent smiling face, smiled gently, and reached out to touch Qiaoqiao's head.
"Okay, it's not too early, let's go down the mountain." Jin Xin said.
Ziqin looked at the three children of the Chen family and asked, "After walking all night, can you still hold on?" ”
"Aunt Qin, don't worry, we practice martial arts, it's no problem to take this path!"
The eldest of the Chen family put one hand on the shoulder of a younger brother and answered Ziqin very confidently.
Ziqin heard this and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm." Really capable! ”
The three children have never been praised before, and they are a little embarrassed to be praised by her like this.
Jin Xin looked at the three children and asked Lei Lei and Qiao Qiao, "What about you?" ”
The two children replied in unison, "We can too!" ”
"Okay, let's go."
Two adults and five children walked down the mountain like this.
Fortunately, it is already halfway up the hill here, and you will reach the bottom after a short walk, so you don't have to walk too hard.
Qiao Qiao also asked Jin Xin on the way: "Mother, where are we going?" ”
Jin Xin smiled: "Well, isn't it good for my mother to take you outside to play?" ”
"Yes, yes! I'm going to suffocate to death if I stay at home all the time! ”
Jojo said.
Jin Xin smiled: "So you have to come out to breathe." ”
Chen Mingxi, the third elder of the Chen family, asked Ziqin: "Aunt Qin, let's go outside, didn't my father find us when he came back?" ”
Ziqin glanced at the child's eyes and said, "It's okay." He will know where you are. ”
"Really?"
"Hmm. I'll sue him. ”
"That's good, we can have fun!"
Chen Mingxi clapped his hands and laughed.
Lei Lei walked and walked, saw something, trotted to the front, squatted down and stepped on a bunch of green plants, turned to Jin Xin and said, "Mother, this is a grass, very powerful, can cure cough!" ”
Jin Xin walked over and bent down to look: "Really?" ”
The other few heard it and came over to see, the child's curiosity was always very strong, and they asked Lei Lei many questions, and Lei Lei answered them one by one patiently.
Jin Xin and Ziqin watched from the side, smiling.
Everyone seemed to be in high spirits, talking and laughing along the way, and it seemed that they had reached the foot of the mountain in a blink of an eye.
On the side of the mountain road, a large carriage was parked, and the coachman stood beside the carriage, and in front of the coachman, a woman in green was standing.
When Jin Xin saw it, he immediately recognized it and called, "Green Bell." ”
Green Bell saw them from afar, beckoned to them, greeted them, and said with a smile: "It's been a wait for you, I haven't appeared for so long, and I thought something had happened and I couldn't get out." ”
Jin Xin said with a smile: "A few children have a lot of play, and they have played all the way, which makes you wait longer." ”
"You really have a lot of leisure, and the person who is going to run away should not be nervous and full of vigilance? It's good that you can take the kids all the way down to a leisurely pace. It is also rare. Green Bell smiled and quipped, bent down and smiled at a few children: "Children, long time no see." ”
Several children obediently responded in unison: "Aunt Green is good! ”
"That's good." Green Bell smiled and narrowed her eyes.
She straightened her waist, nodded to Ziqin as a greeting, and then turned her head to look at Jin Xin again, and said: "It's all arranged for you, you will set off in this carriage, which has prepared enough dry food, clothes and money for you, the coachman is selected by me, although he is not a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but he is also famous, plus your black spider and Qiji, it should be able to ensure your safety." ”
Because he knew that the secret passage had to go for almost a night, it was very tiring, and it was inevitably cumbersome, Jin Xin didn't bring anything except some necessary things, but asked Green Bell to help them prepare these before.
Green Ling continued: "As for the side of Linzhou City, I have also arranged a place for you to stay. There is a teacher in Linzhou City, who opened a private school called Sifeng Academy. This man is our man, he is trustworthy, I have already said hello, and when the time comes, you will stay in his house for a while. He'll take good care of you. The specific location will be dropped off by the coachman. ”
Jin Xin looked at Green Bell and said, "Green Bell, thank you." ”
"Thanks for what? What kind of friendship do we have, this little effort, it's polite to say thank you. ”
Green Bell patted Jin Xin's shoulder, with a hearty smile, very temperamental of a woman in the rivers and lakes.
Jin Xin smiled, "Okay." ”
Green Bell looked up at the sky: "It's not too early, just in case, you better hurry up." ”
Of course Jin Xin knew, nodded and asked everyone to get in the car.
After everyone got into the carriage, Jin Xin leaned out half of his body and said to Green Bell: "What about you?" How can I get back later? ”
"Are you still worried?" Green Ling smiled: "I'm a woman from the rivers and lakes, I can do light work, and it will only take half a day to climb over this mountain." ”
"I'm too tired."
"It's much faster than riding a horse."
Green Bell laughed.
When Jin Xin heard this, he also chuckled: "This is true. So, we're leaving? ”
"Well, let's go. Remember, take care of yourself. If you need my help, send me a message. ”
"Definitely."
"However, Yunxi is also in Jiangnan, not far from you, if you are too anxious, you will find her faster."
"I'll choose the best."
"Knowing you're smart!"
Green Ling grinned, and said a few more words to the coachman, then retreated some distance and waved his hand at Jin Xin and them: "There will be a period later." ”
Jin Xin smiled back: "Hmm." There will be a period later. ”
The carriage moved slowly, drifting away.
Green Ling stood there and watched the carriage leave, until the carriage was completely gone, she stood still for a moment, then turned around and jumped, and with a light effort, she jumped into the mountains and woods, shuttling between the branches, her body was as light as a swallow, and soon disappeared without a trace.
In the carriage, Jin Xin and Ziqin found dry food and water and fed them to several children.
Qiao Qiao remembered the last time he took a carriage from Longfeng Villa to Yuecheng, and he also sat for a long time, and vaguely felt that this time felt a little similar to the last time, so he couldn't help but ask Jin Xin: "Mother, are we going to take a carriage for a long time?" ”
Jin Xin bit into the pastry, "Hmm." Maybe a little alcohol. ”
Jojo frowned and muttered, "In that case, Jojo's ass will hurt again." ”
Jin Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Qiaoqiao, no." ”
*
Half a month later.
Linzhou City, commonly known as Lincheng.
The carriage that Jin Xin was sitting in slowly entered the city of Linzhou, and the coachman drove the carriage through the main street, turned a corner, and went around to a quieter place, and finally stopped at the gate of a academy.
"Ma'am, it's here."
The coachman jumped out of the carriage, removed the footstool, and opened the carriage door.
As soon as the car door was opened, several small heads immediately poked out of it, and then behind them, Jin Xin and Ziqin.
Jin Xin looked out of the car window at the building outside, occupying a positive place, also very elegant and quiet, the door was open, and there was a plaque hanging on the door beam, writing the four characters of Sifeng Academy.
Ziqin got out of the carriage with a few children first, and Jin Xin got down last.
The coachman led a few people into it, it was a wide yard, planted with flowers and trees, the courtyard was very fresh and elegant, standing in the courtyard at a glance, I saw that there was a school in front of me, the heads were dangling, the sound of reading was neat and loud, and in front of the students, there was a thin man in his fifties, holding a scroll, closing his eyes and recuperating, and his head was shaking regularly because of the sound of students reading.
The coachman asked Jin Xin and them to wait here for a while, and then they went into the school first.
Jin Xin saw the coachman walking up to the thin man, bowed his head and said something, because the coachman's body was blocked, and he couldn't see the man's reaction clearly.
It didn't take long to see the coachman returning, followed by the man.
The coachman led the man to Jin Xin and said to the man, "This is the friend our lady mentioned." ”
As he spoke, the coachman said to Jin Xin again: "Madam, this is the person mentioned by our wife, surnamed Zhang, just call him Mr. Zhang." ”
Mr. Zhang took the lead in saying to Jin Xin: "Hello, madam." ”
Jin Xin nodded and smiled: "Hello Mr. Zhang." In the next few days, I will bother Mr. Zhang. ”
"It's okay, it's okay."
Mr. Zhang waved his hand busily and smiled very kindly.
He leaned sideways and made a gesture of please: "Madam, please follow me to the back hall." ”
Jin Xin nodded and led a few children to follow.
When I arrived at the back hall, I just went in, and I saw a young woman coming out of it, who looked to be in her early twenties, a few years younger than Jin Xin.
Mr. Zhang beckoned her over and said, "Xiaoxi, this is the lady I mentioned to you before." ”
Then he said to Jin Xin: "Madam, this is a little girl, Zhang Xi." ”
Zhang Xi?
Jin Xin felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Zhang Xi smiled at Jin Xin clearly: "I've seen Madame." ”

I was unwell today and wrote only six thousand. I'm sorry.
