Chapter 16: Miss Zhou
Xie Yixin was tired from crying and fell asleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And the light in the old man's study was on for a night.
Early the next morning, at the beginning of the morning, Xie Yixin had already taken An Hong out of the house and went to the Yang Mansion next door. As soon as Xie Yixin entered the Yang Mansion, Ping Feng, who was squatting on the side, immediately went to the Xie Mansion to ask to see Master Xie.
In the Yang Mansion, the big housekeeper of Lian Fang stepped forward, "Miss Xie, come to see the old lady so early?" The old lady is still practicing boxing. ”
"Grandpa Lian Fang, you're laughing at me again! I, I'm here to find Brother Zhaowu! Xie Yixin stomped his feet.
"Miss Xie, that's not a coincidence, the young master went back to the academy last night when he had something." The big butler Lian Fang said with a kind smile.
"Brother Zhaowu left last night?" Originally, there was a belly to say, and Xie Yixin, who wanted to say to Brother Zhaowu, was a little unbelievable.
"The old lady is in the hall, Miss Xie, if there is anything you can do to find the old lady."
"Hmmm! Then I'll go see Grandpa Yang. Xie Yi was blessed and walked quickly to the hall.
In the courtyard of the hall, Mrs. Yang was practicing boxing, Xie Yixin saw that the old lady had finished punching, hurriedly handed over the towel, and served a cup of tea diligently.
"Heart girl, did you quarrel with the stinky boy at Maitreya Temple? With a face, come, tell grandpa, grandpa beat him! "Old lady Yang slowly sipped the tea ceremony.
Xie Yi twisted her hands, "No!" It's just that I want to talk to Brother Zhaowu about something. ”
Old lady Yang looked at Xie Yixin and said earnestly: "Heart girl, many things have to be natural." "Old lady Yang hasn't finished speaking,
"Grandpa Yang, I'll go back first, I still have something to do today, I'll come back to accompany you another day." Xie Yixin's eyes were red, she interrupted, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"Alas! It's a pity that the heart girl, this girl is a good one. I don't know what Zhao'er thinks? Old Lady Yang saw that Xie Yixin was in a hurry and sighed.
The big housekeeper Lian Fang took the teacup in the old lady's hand and said with a smile: "Miss Xie is blessed, let it be." ”
In Xie Mansion here, Pingfeng told Master Xie about going to Maitreya Temple to meet Yelu Falcon in the original way, and at the end he attached the bloodlight disaster that Master Wumei said. Old Man Xie bowed his head and thanked him: "You go back, thank Young Master Yang for me, I will pay attention recently, and I must keep my heart at home." Pingfeng then bowed and retreated.
Regarding the matter of Yelu Falcon, Master Xie also has a little headache, his precious daughter must not be involved with the foreigner.
After thinking for a while, he summoned Xie Gui to order: "You find a few clever guys to walk around the gate of the Yang Mansion." If someone from outside the city comes to inquire about the female dependents of the Yang Mansion, you will say that the female dependents are from the capital and have set off for Beijing. ”
Xie Gui is the son of Old Man Xie's grandmother and the head of Xie Mansion, and when he heard Master Xie say this, he immediately understood.
"Master, someone wants to hit Miss, right? Do you want to ......?"
Master Xie waved his hand, "That's not an ordinary person, he won't stay for long, as long as it's over for a while, it's fine, don't make more trouble." ”
"Yes, sir, I'll do it."
After Xie Gui stepped back, Master Xie wanted to call someone to invite the young lady back. It just so happened that Xie Yixin came back by herself. Mr. Xie pondered how to detain his daughter at home, and when he saw that his daughter was depressed, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good way.
"Xinxin, you didn't see Yang Dalang, did you?"
"Daddy, Brother Zhaowu went back to the academy last night, do you think I'll go to the academy to find him?" Xie Yi was coquettish.
"Of course not. Xinxin, Daddy has a good way to tell Yang Dalang, how about you listen to it? "Master Xie is kind and seductive.
"Daddy! What do you have a good idea, you can say it quickly! ”
"Xinxin, you see, your piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all taught by Yang Dalang, you learned from your father to settle accounts, and dancing Yang Dalang is not uncommon, and you can't do it if you are a female celebrity. Why don't you practice cooking at home recently, and when Yang Dalang comes back, you will cook a meal for him and impress him, how about it? ”
"Cooking? I've never cooked, will Brother Zhaowu like my craft? ”
"Absolutely! It's because you haven't done it that Yang Dalang will be strange! To retain a man's heart, a good cooking skill is essential. Master Xie pulled down his face, and he fought hard to detain his daughter at home.
"That's good! Daddy found me a good craft, I learned it, and I sent it to Brother Zhaowu to the academy! Xie Yi smiled heartily, fantasizing that Brother Zhaowu would eat the food she had cooked, and happily went back to the backyard.
Master Xie breathed a sigh of relief, called An Hong, arranged for a cook who was good at making pastries to go to the backyard, and instructed the porter not to let the young lady go out easily, and he also asked someone to bring back the account book and reconcile it at home. In the near future, you must guard your daughter!
At this time, outside the Yang Mansion, a guest came, and he happened to be discovered by Yelu Falcon's subordinates who had just come to the Yang Mansion and were wandering outside the mansion.
Zhou Lingsu sat in a carriage, took two maidservants, and accompanied a few family members to Yang's Mansion and handed over the name post. Soon the big housekeeper Lian Fang came out and welcomed her into the door, "Miss Zhou, please come inside." ”
"Thank you, big butler, I'm here to send an invitation to Mrs. Yang." Zhou Lingsu smiled and said softly.
"Miss Zhou, don't dare to be. The old lady is in the main hall, Miss Zhou, please. ”
When he saw Mrs. Yang, Zhou Lingsu presented the invitation with both hands, "April 26 is my grandmother's 60th birthday, and I specially ordered me to invite the old lady to appreciate her face and get together in the house." ”
"Back then, your grandmother had a few encounters with my old wife, and since it was her sixtieth birthday, the old man was going to come to the door to ask for a glass of water and wine." Old lady Yang instructed Lian Fang to accept the invitation.
"Old lady, in a few days, my father and mother will arrive, and I will come to visit you when the time comes. Originally, Aunt Minghui was also going to come, but yesterday she wrote that the second cousin had been in poor health recently and couldn't come. I don't know if my cousin is going back to Beijing to visit? I have something I want to bring to Aunt Minghui. ”
"Your cousin has to concentrate on preparing for the autumn festival, and he won't return to Beijing for the time being, if you want to bring something, it's better to find someone else." Old lady Yang stroked her beard and said.
"My cousin was the head of the case back then, and I will definitely be able to get a solution this year." Zhou Lingsu looked like he was honorable.
Old lady Yang smiled silently and took a sip of tea. Seeing this, Zhou Lingsu got up and said goodbye and left.
Waiting for Zhou Lingsu's carriage to go away, Yelu Falcon's people began to inquire about the female dependents of the Yang Mansion. Xie Gui had already received a secret report from his subordinates, and sent an older guy to pretend to talk to him unintentionally.
"I don't know if this eldest brother knows, how many young ladies are there in this Yang family? Have you ever been married? Jeremi's men, pretending to be curious passers-by, inquired.
"This little brother, do you mean this mighty general Yang Mansion? But this Yang family only has the old general and his grandson, and there is no young lady? ”
"Wouldn't it? Didn't a young lady just come out of that house just now? The spy pretended not to do anything.
"That's? That's not Miss Yang, it's Young Master Yang and his cousin, from the capital. ”
"Cousin? Then she has a good relationship with Young Master Yang? ”
"Of course, I heard in the first two days that Young Master Yang accompanied his cousin to Maitreya Temple to listen to Master Wumei's lectures!" A guy disguised as a passerby, looking like a gossip.
The spy was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to inquire about it all at once. He asked again, "I don't know if Young Master Yang's cousin is the young lady?" ”
"That's the eldest daughter of the Lord of Mindan, Miss Zhou!"
"Oh! No wonder it's so pretty. Thank you, big brother, I will say goodbye first, and there will be a period later. The spy quickly departed.
Seeing that the spy was walking away, the guy who pretended to be a passerby hurriedly reported to Chief Manager Xie Gui. After understanding their conversation, Xie Gui continued to send people to pay attention, returned to Xie's mansion by himself, and reported to the master in person.
