Chapter 24: The Sudden Sun Delivers a Letter
"What are you doing with a sigh? If these people don't get their skin paintings back, they won't stop for a day. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xie Jiang picked out a hosta from the makeup box, and when it was not proper to put it on the bun, he patted his clothes and stood up and walked out: "What's more, the small fish and shrimp have run away, so this can attract the big fish." ”
"That's what Madame said." Mama Han took two steps forward and lifted the bead curtain, and when Xie Jiang passed, she put the curtain behind her and said, "Beidou...... Pour water for Madame. ”
In fact, the old woman said that when she saw Xie Jiang coming out, Beidou trotted and picked up the teapot, took a copper basin and poured it in: "Just now, the slave maid thought that Mrs. should wake up, the pot is only filled with hot water, Mrs. try to ......." ”
The mouth of the teapot is small and the belly is big, and a small half basin of hot water is poured in.
Xie Jiang walked over, stretched out his hand to try the heat, and then washed his hands and face in the basin, and after washing, Xinyue took out a clean handkerchief and handed it over, and she took the cloth and wiped her hands.
After wiping his hands, Xie Jiang handed the handkerchief to Xinyue again, walked to the table and sat down, and saw the white cakes and pickles on the table, and then remembered that he hadn't eaten last night.
I didn't eat two meals from last night to this morning, and the white cake was mixed with sesame oil and shredded pickles, which was Xie Jiang's favorite food.
Xie Jiang raised his hand to take the chopsticks, and then twisted his face and ordered: "Beidou, go and serve a bowl of porridge again, your wife is very hungry." ”
…… The sound of footsteps outside the porch, listening to the sound, seems to be two or three people, and the direction of the journey seems to be here.
Xie Jiang gestured and turned his eyes to look outside the door.
Sure enough, a young man wearing a short robe with arrow sleeves stopped at the door, and saluted Xie Jiang, "Madam...... Just now, a girl said that she came from Yinghe to find her wife, and the lord ordered her to send her. ”
The girl from Yinghe? Who would that be?
Besides, Yinghe Grange now does not collect grain and does not farm, plus there are two girls in the inner courtyard to manage miscellaneous affairs, and there are Chunguang to supervise and manage the accounts, and Wang Ang is in charge of major events, what is the matter, the girl will find Huanghua Town all the way?
Xie Jiang frowned, put down his chopsticks, raised his chin to Beidou and said, "Look who it is." ”
The door was already hidden, and Beidou stepped forward and pulled it to the side.
As soon as the door opened, several people in the room were stunned.
Jiaoyang lowered her eyebrows, and as soon as the door "creaked", she raised her head, and when she saw Xie Jiang, she hurriedly bowed her knees, and said happily: "The slave is afraid that she will ask the wrong question, but she didn't expect it to be really a lady." The slave and maid gave the lady a salute, and the lady was well ....... ”
The man who sent her saw that several people were really familiar, so he raised his hand to Xie Jiang and said, "There is another matter...... The Lord commanded the lowly to come and ask the lady, is it feasible to set out in half an hour? ”
Xie Jiang was puzzled in his heart, so he only pressed it down and ignored the hot sun, looked at the man outside the door and said, "Okay...... Mrs. Ben will pack up her things. ”
"So...... Retired from his position. ”
After she gave her a word, the man raised his hand again, turned around and left.
When the footsteps were far away, Xie Jiang beckoned Jiaoyang to come over, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" What happened at the Grange? ”
Jiaoyang raised his eyes to look at Xie Jiang, glanced at it, lowered his eyelids again, and whispered: "There is nothing going on in the grange, but the ninth prince ordered someone to send a letter from outside the river, and the slave maid thought that Madame might ...... And the slave and maid were delivered. ”
Huanghua Town is north of the Yinghe River, about 200 places away from the Yinghe Grange.
It is also common sense to say that Jiaoyang is afraid that the ninth prince is in a hurry, so he hurries up to deliver the letter.
It's just that a young lady in Jiaoyang, who is not escorted by servants, and who does not ask Wang Ang in her words, or who has been promised by Chunguang, and who is alone and suddenly rushes over, Xie Jiang always feels that something is strange.
This strange thought flashed through my mind.
Xie Jiang's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he raised his eyes to look at the sun and said, "What about the letter?" ”
Jiaoyang timidly went to dig out his clothes, took out the placket for a long time, took the envelope sealed with fire paint, and held it with both hands: "The ninth prince ordered Wutieshan to send it to the main courtyard, and because the lady was not there, the slave and maid took it as the master." ”
Hearing her mention Wutie Mountain, Xie Jiang was almost imperceptible...... A raised eyebrow slightly.
When Wang Jiu went to Hewai, because Feng Guan Gaoyang Zhu and a few people had something to do, Xie Jiang was afraid that he would have too few guards around him after a long journey, so he sent Wu Tieshan to lead Wu Fourteen...... Fifteen...... Sixteen accompanying escorts.
Others don't know, but whenever a letter is sent between Xie Jiang and Wang Jiu, there must be an unexplained rule, that is, no matter who sends it, the letter must be handed over to him by hand.
has been following it for four or five years, and it is impossible for Wu Tieshan not to know this rule.
Know this...... And give the letter to the sun?
After a few turns in his heart, Xie Jiang took the letter paper, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, looked at the hot sun, and said with a pleasant face: "Are you tired of traveling?" After asking this, without waiting for her to answer, her eyes rolled and fell on Beidou's face, and she ordered: "Lead Jiaoyang down to have some food, and then find a set of dry clothes for her." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Beidou didn't think about anything else, curtsied his knees, turned around and pulled the sun out: "There are white cakes in the bud kitchen...... There is also porridge...... Do you change your clothes first or eat first? ”
"I haven't ...... with my wife yet." The sun was about to turn around and salute, but the little girl didn't let go of her hands, so she just dragged her out.
Mama Han seemed to be on her heels, and when she saw the two of them kissing and turning through the corridor, she retracted her body, paused at the door, turned back, and asked in a low voice, "The sun is coming over to deliver the letter...... Isn't it that the ninth prince is in a hurry? ”
Xie Jiang raised his hand and took a white cake, took a bite of the cake, and took another pickle, and ate it with relish.
She is an old god, and she has no intention of opening it to read the letter......
Mama Han frowned, and after a while, her old eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Does Madame know what this letter is about?" ”
If you don't talk about it, I'm afraid this meal won't be able to eat well.
Xie Jiang poked the pickle plate with the head of his chopsticks and said, "Dan Fan Jiulang sent me a message, when has Mama ever seen someone who can collect it on his behalf?" ”
Mama Han was stunned, frowned and thought for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Madam thinks this letter is fake?" ”
"The letter can't be fake, I'm just a little weird."
Xie Jiang simply put down his chopsticks and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. After wiping his mouth, he stuffed the cloth into his sleeve again, and then looked at Mama Han and said: "Left and right are just trivial matters, and Wu Tieshan may be negligent for a while." Mama eat quickly, clean up after eating and let's go. ”
The master clearly put on a posture that he did not want to talk about this topic anymore......
Even if Mama Han still had doubts, she had to stop there.
After the meal was finished and the things were packed, a few people sat in the room and waited.
The rain gradually subsided.
In the end, it is the late autumn season, an autumn rain and a cool.
When Liubai came over to call a few people to set off, Mama Han turned out a dogwood brocade rabbit fur cloak and draped it for Xie Jiang.
Xinyue held an umbrella for Xie Jiang, and Beidou helped Mama Han in the back.
Carrying two clothes and burdens, a few people walked through the lobby and walked out of the "Immortal Residence Like the Sea" inn.
Reflecting the door of the inn, four black-painted flat-headed carriages were parked.
