I comforted him for a long time while I was on the way, and he finally made up his mind to go to Yanjing early.
Back at the Holy Lotus Hall, it was already half the afternoon. The gate was locked, and I found a rock to break the lock before entering the yard.
Yesterday, I heard Bo Jiang say that Yueying and the coachman were locked up with the two senior brothers. I don't know where the two brothers are being held.
I was about to ask, but Master took another path on his own. I rushed up, and the master said as he walked: "Except for my room, the other side rooms are occupied by Bojiang and them, and your two senior brothers are probably locked in the firewood room by them." ”
I nodded and said, "I don't know if the senior brother and the second senior brother are willing to go to Yanjing with the master, I also think it's inappropriate for them to stay here." ”
Master replied, "Tell them then." ”
When I went to the firewood room, the door of the firewood room was also locked. The master shouted outside, "See far? See? ”
There was a noise in the firewood room, and then I heard the two senior brothers shouting, "Master? The senior brother asked again, "Master, are you alright?" ”
"It's all right," Master replied, "I'll open the door for you." ”
I had to go to the yard and pick up another stone, and after a few "toms", the lock was smashed open. I threw the broken lock to the ground and the door was pulled open from the inside.
The senior brother and the second senior brother said hello to me, and then went to the master. As soon as the two of them flashed away, I saw Yueying and the coachman.
Yue Ying hurriedly walked up to me, grabbed my hand and looked me up and down, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Her voice was hoarse.
"Get out and talk." I held Tsukiei's wrist and looked at the coachman again.
The two brothers went to the kitchen to boil tea, and I sent the coachman away. The remaining three went to the antechamber.
Yueying said to me: "I heard Zhu Niang's two senior brothers say that the people who locked up us are all from the White Lotus Society. I told them that Zhu Niang had come here after receiving a letter from Master Bai, but they told me that it was impossible for Master Bai to write to Zhu Niang during this time. That's someone else deliberately deceiving us. These are the affairs of the White Lotus Society, how can they be involved with Zhu Niang? ”
I briefly told her why.
Yue Ying's eyes widened when she heard this, and she half-covered her mouth and said, "They actually slandered Zhu Niang and Master Bai like this, they ...... How dare they? Then he asked, "What about then?" What happened? ”
Senior brother, they brought tea over, I took a cup and warmed my hands in my hand, and told them about being rescued halfway, but when I said it, I hid Zhao Yuan's real name.
After talking about what happened, the master mentioned to the two senior brothers that he wanted to go to Yanjing.
Although the two senior brothers also hesitated, they finally nodded and said that they would go to Yanjing with the master.
We went down the mountain overnight, stayed in an inn for the night, and then went home together. Daddy was deeply surprised that Master was going to Yanjing. Master and Daddy explained that it was because he had withdrawn from the White Lotus Society, and the members of the White Lotus Society could not tolerate him, so he had to leave. Daddy then dispelled the idea of persuading the master to stay.
Master wanted to stay in Qiantang for a while, because there were a lot of things hidden in the Holy Lotus Hall, and he hadn't had time to take them down the mountain yet. Daddy sent someone to move some of the things in the Holy Lotus Hall according to the master's instructions.
Liangyuan is five months pregnant, but because she is relatively small and wears winter clothes, it is not easy to see it. I heard the third brother say that she vomited whatever she ate at the beginning, but when she went home to eat together this time, she saw that her appetite was good.
After staying at home for two days, although a voice in my head reminded me that it was time to go back to Haining, there was a voice in my heart that kept saying "just stay for one more night". As a result, I stayed at home for another two nights.
The third brother often stays in the shop on weekdays, if I don't come back, there is only a junior in the family, and I want to go out for a walk and am embarrassed to pull A-Niang to accompany her.
The day after I got home, Liangyuan said that she wanted me to go out with her, and I happily agreed. But unfortunately, the weather was not very good, and A-Niang did not let us go out. I had to go out and give up.
On the fourth day, when the weather seemed to be good, Liangyuan asked me out with me. When we arrived at the West Lake, Liangyuan said that she was a little tired, so we had to go back to the carriage. I took a carriage to the Drum Tower, visited a few shops selling fabrics, and then went to a restaurant to eat. When we came back, we happened to pass by the third brother, and the third brother went back with us.
The carriage walked very slowly, and Liangyuan turned over the fabrics he bought one by one to show the third brother, and told him what kind of clothes he wanted to make with these fabrics.
The third brother was full of smiles, listened carefully to what Liangyuan said, and then said to me: "Sister Zhu is back, and Yuanyuan is also more lively." I wanted to spend more time with her, but I couldn't afford to spend the whole day. After a pause, he sighed again: "It would have been great if Sister Zhu had married in Qiantang at the beginning, even if one lived in the east of the city and the other lived in the west of the city, they could still make an appointment together every day." ”
I smiled and didn't speak. Seeing them so sweet, I suddenly had a sour feeling in my heart.
When I returned to the house, I met the housekeeper who was giving a lecture to a housekeeper. Intermittently listened to the housekeeper say: "The living people come to inquire about things, and they can't just talk about it...... Mr. Bai must not tell anyone about his coming here...... You said that he also asked you about the second lady, how did he ask you? ”
I paused and walked over to the butler. The third brother and Liangyuan also followed, so I turned my head and said to them, "You go back to the room first, I just have something to ask the housekeeper." He smiled again and said, "Liangyuan looks quite tired." ”
And they were all gone.
The housekeeper saluted and said, "What does the second lady want to ask?" ”
I looked at the family standing in front of me and said, "Who came to inquire about Mr. Bai and me today?" ”
The family replied, "A man, not very old, looks like a servant, but not like an ordinary family. He spoke quite kindly, and asked if Mr. Bai and the second lady were at home, and I ...... I don't see like he has malicious intentions, so ...... Told him. ”
Before I could speak, the housekeeper immediately lectured: "'Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts', a living person, who is not related to us, but inquired about our private affairs, obviously has a plan, you have not been a housekeeper in the house for a day or two, why are you so careless?" ”
The family hung his head and said nothing.
I asked again, "Did the man leave after asking?" ”
"Yes, I'll leave after asking." Jia Ding said.
I said to the housekeeper: "After greeting him, don't tell others about the affairs of the family casually, this cold air outlet, each other is cold." (To be continued.) )
