Chapter 4
In Wei Yuanhou's study, in addition to Wei Yuanhou, there is also the second master Li Jichang.
"Po is here, sit down." The second old man said with a smile. He was born handsome, with a beautiful man, and looked like a romantic uncle. On the contrary, the Marquis of Wei Yuan has a face of Chinese characters, and he looks naturally majestic, and it is said that he is most similar to the deceased old Marquis Wei Yuan.
After Po stepped forward to salute the two of them, he sat down on the stool brought by the maid who was waiting in the study. When she was seated, the maid made tea, and went down, leaving only the three uncles and nephews in the house.
Wei Yuanhou touched the short beard on his chin, smiled at his niece who had grown into a big girl, and asked some family routines kindly and softly, such as how Ah Bao's father is doing, whether his injuries are healed, whether he is busy with the border war, whether he has taken good care of his body, etc., Ah Bao answered one by one according to the facts, and said whether it was good or bad.
According to Ah Bao's thoughts, his father was stationed at the border for this big family, earning military merits, and was also named the general of Zhenbei by Qin, and gilded the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. No one has their own father!
Then it was the turn of the second master, the second master was much more detailed and warm-hearted than his eldest brother, and it can be seen that the second master is a more careful man, in addition to asking about his fourth brother's work and physical condition, it is also related to Bao's body and life and study status.
After talking about the old, it is time to get into the main topic.
"Mingjin, you tell us about today's events, how did you come across the evil star of King Jin? You're not hurt, are you? The second master still asked, for fear that when King Jin arrested the fugitive, he would not know the severity of the attack and affect his niece.
Po smiled: "I wasn't injured, I just hit my shoulder, and it didn't get in the way." He didn't say that the shoulder was already blue, and continued: "Today, when we arrived at the post station outside the city, we thought that there would be an hour before we arrived in Beijing, so we let everyone rest and drink saliva at the post station, but who happened to meet the fugitive, who wanted to hijack our carriage and leave, I was so close that I was almost threatened by him with a knife, so I had to save myself. ”
Hearing the word "self-help", the hearts of the two men who were almost a hundred years old trembled, and they looked at the little girl's little tiger teeth with strange faces emitting a cold light in the light, only to feel that the cold light seemed to be the sharpest blade, and the next moment it would stab their hearts with blood.
No wonder they are so sensitive to the word "self-help", remembering that when this girl was eight years old, she went out with a group of noble girls of the family to go out for spring, and unfortunately encountered a few wild boars running wildly, the guards were far away at the time, and the other girls were all disgraced and screaming and trembling for protection, but this bear child climbed the tree and broke a branch, brushed a few times to drive those wild boars away, and protected a group of weak and reserved little girls and fought and retreated, so not heroic.
She was heroic, but the fierce and fierce image has since been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even those sons of Beijing Chinese and elegant have been frightened by her and lost their handsome faces. Due to the momentum of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, and because the situation was really urgent at that time, no one dared to make fun of her about it, and she was very grateful for her righteous act at that time. However, who would dare to ask such a girl to be a daughter-in-law if Nima is so cruel? I'm really worried that she won't be able to get married.
After this news spread, even the saint praised her courage, and the queen called her into the palace to look over the reward, and asked her with a smile if she was afraid at the time, and the eight-year-old little Lori was not ashamed to answer the day: "Save yourself, if you don't save yourself, we will all be arched by pigs." ”
It is conceivable how cruel this answer is, and several concubines who were drinking water at that time sprayed Youmu?! Mrs. Weiyuanhou, who was in charge of bringing her into the palace, heard her answer so honestly at that time, and she almost couldn't breathe, feeling that this girl was really hopeless, who wanted you to save yourself, you should be like your sisters at that time, meet the world's requirements for women, and weakly shrink together and let the guards protect you.
Of course, this is just one of the small things in a girl's short seventeen years of life, in addition, there are countless murderous acts of this girl since she was a child, she was so cruel when she was a child, and she can understand her young age, even if every time she answers, it can be said that it is a child's words. But now, what kind of murderous is it? And the culprit who raised her to be so murderous was the girl and her father.
"The two uncles rest assured, Ah Bao has his own measure, except for letting Na Qin break his leg, he didn't do much, thinking that King Jin is a reasonable person, he will not take this matter to heart."
“……”
The two of them frowned, and they were speechless to this girl again, so they didn't worry about the prisoner's broken hand or arm, but only worried about whether she accidentally offended the King of Jin, and then was hated by the King of Jin, which affected the whole family. However, this kind of thing naturally can't be said to the niece, for the niece's performance, the two felt a little frustrated in their hearts, and this kind of thing happened when they returned to Beijing, and so many eyes saw it at that time, and they couldn't cover it if they wanted to. originally thought that her niece had been away from Beijing for a few years, and her reputation for being fierce and murderous should have almost disappeared, and now it was just right to tell her about her family, but now, they are not so sure, and they are even more afraid that they will be entrusted by the fourth brother and will not be able to tell their niece about family affairs.
"King Jin...... Why did you let the government guards escort you into Beijing? Wei Yuanhou asked again, this was what he cared about. King Jin will not be targeted, how can he escort a noble lady into Beijing in such a good mood?
Wei Yuanhou couldn't help but suppress conspiracy theories!
Ah Bao still smiled: "At that time, my niece was a little frightened, and was helped into the car, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao later, it was really chaotic outside, I heard the constant guard say, it seems that there are a few fugitives lurking nearby, my move today has ruined their plan, and they will definitely be worried, and the king of Jin will also return to Beijing, so he will escort his niece by the way." ”
This statement is normal, but the post station is not far from the capital, and Ah Bao is taking the official road, no matter how bold those fugitives are, they will not dare to hijack the daughter of the court official in the official road, and the move of King Jin seems to be redundant.
The two asked for some details, and Ah Bao said them one by one, without the slightest concealment, which was similar to the answer of the accompanying guards, Wei Yuanhou chewed in his heart for a long time, and really didn't understand why the King of Jin would escort Ah Bao into Beijing so arrogantly, so that his niece's murderous reputation was remembered again.
After asking the question, Po stepped back.
Leaving the study for a distance, Ah Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the dim sky, today is a little more thrilling, after coming back, I have to appease the elderly, and I have to do a good job in the ideological work of the elders, for fear of leaving a bad reputation, it is really tiring, it is better to be at the border, although the environment is worse but a simple life. However, today, the King of Jin escorted them into Beijing with such fanfare, although he didn't know what Lu Dao was going to do, but he thought that his family affairs would have twists and turns, and I don't know if Lu Dao's father would twist his eyebrows into twists again if he knew Lu Dao.
Again, I felt a little helpless.
"Girl?" The goose called back.
Po stared at the sky for a moment, and came back to his senses at the call of the wild goose.
*********
The next morning, when Ah Bao was woken up, he felt a paralyzing pain in his shoulder, and carefully pulled the clothes on his shoulder to see that yesterday's bruises had turned blue and black, lined with white and crystal skin, which was still terrifying.
Ah Bao sighed in his heart, and underestimated the injury, which is estimated to take ten days and half a month to disappear.
The wild goose replied to the sound of the wild goose and lifted the curtain of the flower tent, and waited for Ah Bao to get up and change his clothes, and naturally saw the blue-black bruise, and changed his face on the spot.
"Don't scream, when you come back later, Xunhua's mother will ask for some essential oils to rub them slowly." Po said that she had just come back, so she didn't have to work hard for this little injury.
Yan Sheng frowned, Yan Hui was wronged for her, but since Ah Bao had made up his mind, the two could only keep their mouths shut.
After washing, he ate some light sweet cakes to cushion his stomach, and Ah Bao took the maid to Rong'an Hall to greet the old lady.
In Rong'an Hall, today is especially lively, it is just the time of the morning saving, the master of the entire Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has arrived, Abao slightly glanced at it, and was dizzy, in addition to the elders, there is also a large group of cousins and sisters, a few years away from Beijing, a careless little nephew and niece are all on the ground, led by various nurses to the old lady to say goodbye.
Of course, today can be so lively, and because Ah Bao came back, I haven't seen him for a few years, and I am afraid that I will not even recognize my own family, so I naturally want to see it.
When Ah Bao stepped into Rong'an Hall, he found that the person who had come was almost there, so he smiled on his face and asked for guilt: "I'm late, so my grandmother and you have been waiting for a long time." ”
Wei Yuanhou smiled: "The time is just right, and it's not too late." ”
The eldest patriarch of Weiyuan Marquis spoke, and the rest of the people also spoke one after another. Ah Bao came over on time, and it was not too late, but she underestimated the importance that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion attached to her, and everyone came early, one was to show the old lady, and the other was to show that she valued Ah Bao. If Bao's father hadn't been able to make a name for herself now, who would have looked down on her if Bao came back alone?
After Ah Bao greeted the elders, he also greeted his cousins and sisters who had not seen him for several years. After saying goodbye, because he still had to go out to work, Wei Yuanhou left with a few brothers and his sons and nephews, leaving a room of female dependents to accompany the old lady.
The men left, the women were easier to talk to, Po and the sisters hadn't seen each other for a few years, they had grown from Lori to big girls, and they were a little strange for a while, and they were busy looking at each other secretly.
Ah Bao glanced at the cousins present, one of the things he could see at a glance was sitting next to the old lady Li Jinyi, who was the daughter of the big house, and the sisters were in the seventh row, lively and pretty, and they were bright and generous. Then there is the second room daughter Li Mingfeng, line six, with a smile on her face, standing beside the second lady, looking dignified and graceful, but when she looked at Ah Bao, she winked playfully, and the girl who followed several uncles, the most beautiful is the girl who stood quietly next to Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, at a glance, it is really beautiful, this is the daughter of the big house, Li Mingxia, line four.
Bao was looking at the sisters, and the sisters and several aunts and uncles were also looking at Bao. Ah Bao was taken to the border at the age of fourteen, and stayed for three years, and even when he was in the middle of the war, he happened to miss it because of the serious war situation at that time and could not return to Beijing, so he hastily asked several older and faceless ladies to help preside over it in the border. I haven't seen her for three years, the little girl has grown into a big girl, looking at the bright and decent smile, elegant and clean, although she has been away for a few years, she has not been infected with the rough atmosphere of the border girl.
The old lady was also a little satisfied, the girl from the Marquis Mansion of Weiyuan was educated by her grandmother when she was young, even if she was a concubine, her bearing was also good. What's more, Bao's father is the son of the old lady, and Bao is also the granddaughter, even if the old lady has opinions about Bao's biological mother, the granddaughter is to be seen.
After accompanying the old lady to breakfast, everyone dispersed.
Li Mingyi, Li Mingfeng and others did not leave with their respective mothers, but said: "Mother, the fifth sister is back, we miss the fifth sister very much, and we want to talk to her." ”
Bao's biological mother died early, and his father was stationed at the border, Bao was raised by the old lady since he was a child, but he was raised under the name of Mrs. Weiyuanhou, and the second lady took care of Bao for a period of time when Bao's mother died, and because of her husband's reasons, she also treated Bao with some affection, so the relationship between the girls in the two rooms and Bao's was good. Po is back, and naturally wants to talk affectionately with her sisters.
Mrs. Weiyuanhou and the second lady all agreed, but said that Ah Bao had just come back, so don't be tired of the sisters, and let them go.
