Chapter 40: True and False (Asking for Votes~)
The official was originally standing at the mouth of the alley, but when he heard Xia Xue'er say that he was the third lady of Xia Fu, he hurriedly dragged away the stunned officers and soldiers and squeezed in front of Xia Xue'er. cautiously asked, "The girl said that she was the daughter of the General's Mansion, but what evidence do you have?" ”
Xia Xue'er reached out to her waist, and suddenly found that she was in a hurry to go out without a token!
The official saw that she had been groping for a long time, and she didn't come up with any proof, so Fang Cai's cautious expression suddenly retracted, and he looked at Xia Xue'er proudly and said, "If the girl doesn't have any identity certificate, then she can only go with us!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xue'er took off a piece of jade pendant and handed it to the official, asking, "Is this a proof?" ”
After the official took the jade, he only felt that this jade was transparent and flawless, and it was a good jade carved in fine fashion, but he didn't think that this could prove anything. After all, the man who was beaten was holding a token in his hand, and there were clearly written on it with the words "Pingyang Houfu"! And this piece of jade, there is no written proof, and it is not a rare thing, as long as it is a rich person, who can't buy such a good piece of jade.
The official held the jade pendant in his hand and said, "This jade has no text, so it can't be proof." ”
Xia Xue'er saw that there was greed in the official's eyes, and she didn't see him return to the jade pendant, so she said: "You are taking a good look, this is the best Hetian jade from the Western Regions, and it is a special reward from the emperor!" ”
The official was startled when he heard the emperor's words, and hurriedly took the jade and checked it over and over again, thinking that he could find out some characteristics.
At this time, the sloppy man also stepped forward with fear, if this woman really had any evidence, then it was too late to slip away, but after he glanced at the jade, he completely put his mind at ease, and said vaguely: "Who are you bluffing!" What Hetian jade Lantian jade, this kind of jade pendant, we grab a lot of it in the house, where is it rare! ”
A small minion beside him pointed at Xia Xue'er and sneered: "You are a fake, you dare to pretend to be the general's daughter!" There are really people who are not afraid of death! ”
After saying that, he found that Su Qi was squinting his eyes and looking at his fingers, his heart was furious, and he hurriedly put down the hand pointing at Xia Xue'er, turned his head and commanded the official: "You still don't arrest her!" ”
Su Qi snorted coldly and said, "In this way, there is only one place to prove her identity." ”
The official hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Where?" ”
Xia Xue'er smiled and replied, "Xia Mansion." ”
When a few hooligans heard this, they were immediately shocked, and the heart they had just put down instantly rose again, could it be that they really went out today and didn't see the yellow calendar and hit the broom star? The sloppy man hurriedly stammered, "Xia Mansion? You...... Do you dare to go? ”
Xia Xue'er didn't know, but raised her eyebrows, snatched the jade pendant from the official's hand, and said sarcastically: "My lord, you can take a good look at these princes of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to read, don't let them run away!" ”
The official was already in a dilemma, and now no matter what he does, he will offend the other party, this Pingyang Marquis Mansion and Yipin Junhou Mansion, which side he can't afford to offend. Now there's an opportunity to verify the identities of both parties, so why not! What's more, looking at this woman's sworn appearance, it doesn't look like it's fake, but it's the sloppy man who stammers something wrong.
So he ordered someone to hold the beaten men and follow Xia Xue'er to Xia Mansion.
And those men, now they can't run away, so they can only go to Xia Mansion hard-headed. I just hope that this woman is just bluffing them, and it is not Xia Xue'er, Miss Xia Fu!
With officers and soldiers following behind, Xia Xueer could observe passers-by openly, and she really noticed that something was wrong along the way, some passers-by were too calm and steady, and they didn't frown when they saw such a scene, the same expression, a straight waist, and a calm lower plate. Xia Xue'er roughly counted in her heart, and there were more than twenty or three people dressed as hawkers and tea customers on the roadside. If you count the restaurants, wouldn't it be more than half a hundred? What kind of mission is it that requires such a large team?
Xia Xue'er was suspicious of Su Han before, but now she feels that it is impossible, even if Su Han is not an ordinary warrior of the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to have such a large escort team. After all, he is not very old, his experience is insufficient, and his status is not high.
But if it weren't for Su Han, who else would be in this Xia Mansion?
Su Qi followed behind Xia Xue'er, and when she saw her looking left and right, she instantly understood her true purpose of choosing not to flee but to go to Xia Mansion to verify her identity. After all, thanks to the sloppy man, with so many officers and soldiers following behind him, no one would be bold enough to fight against the people of the court in broad daylight, right? What's more, if the two sides really fought, then the soldiers of the Xia Mansion would definitely rush out as soon as possible!
When she arrived at the door of Xia's mansion, Xia Xue'er stood up specially, turned her head and glanced at everyone meaningfully, and then stepped on the steps with confidence. ”
At this point, the two men's legs were weak, and they were completely desperate, and they ruined their future just because they were greedy for beauty! And the official was secretly glad that he had just had time to arrest this woman, otherwise, the dream of adding an official to the knighthood would be shattered!
Xia Xue'er instructed one of the servants: "Quickly go to the master and the guests of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion." ”
The little girl glanced at the people who followed behind Xia Xue'er, and hurriedly ran away.
After a while, a group of people and horses walked towards the door, and every inch of the footsteps approached, the sloppy man's heart sank a little bit as he claimed to be the companion of the prince of the Pingyang Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Xia saw her daughter from a distance, so she shook off the girl she was holding and walked towards her daughter quickly. Fang Cai Xiaowu came to report that Xia Xue'er came into the house with officers and soldiers with a stern expression, and the first thing she thought of was what kind of grievance her daughter had suffered outside, and she was really shocked!
Now I came to my daughter, and hurriedly pulled it over to check carefully, but there was anything wrong. It wasn't until after inspecting that there was not a single scar on his body that he stopped, stood up and asked, "Why did you sneak out of the house again!" ”
Before Xia Xue'er could answer, Xia Qingxuan came to her, followed by the wife and prince of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and Xia Xue'er saluted them.
Xia Qingxuan also looked nervous, and looked her daughter up and down carefully, and then looked at the official master and asked, "What's going on?" What happened to my Xia Mansion, I want the labor officers and soldiers to come to the door! ”
When the official heard this, he hurriedly stood up, bowed to Xia Qingxuan, and said, "Some misunderstandings have disturbed the interest of adults, and the officials deserve death!" ”
Xia Qingxuan's face was stern, exuding an inviolable majesty all over his body, and he said in a deep voice: "What a misunderstanding, such fanfare, the old man wants to listen to it." ”
The official didn't dare to stand up straight, and bowed over and told the story of the matter. Then he added: "That's all Xia Guan knows, please read the specific details with Ling Aihe." ”
Everyone turned their eyes to Xia Xue'er, and Xia Xue'er roughly said what happened from beginning to end, before they turned their eyes to Mrs. Pingyang Hou and Shizi, it turned out that the red-clothed man who made things difficult for her several times at the Meiyuan Poetry Meeting was Pingyang Hou Shizi, Xia Xue'er smiled silently in her heart, if so, then it would be right.
Xia Xue'er walked in front of the two, bent down and saluted Mrs. Pingyang Hou, and then looked at Pingyang Hou Shizi and asked: "I have heard that the prince pursues perfection in everything, so I don't know what to do with the prince's companion to bully others and buy officers and soldiers?" ”
In fact, Pingyang Hou Shizi is an extremely protective person, and he often relies on his identity to do things around. And what a close person he is, he naturally has to protect him!
Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, in front of Xia Qingxuan, Mrs. Hou Fu was naturally afraid that her son would speak disrespectfully, so she offended the Xia family. So, as soon as the prince was about to speak, Mrs. Hou Fu hurriedly grabbed the words and said: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention a little companion!" Dare to do such a disrespectful thing to the third lady, naturally it is not a pity to die! ”
Xia Xue'er saw the reluctance on the face of the prince, smiled slightly and said: "Thank you Mrs. in this way, I can't hide it, the chivalrous man has already taught these people a lesson when he came to the rescue, and I am still worried that the prince will be unhappy because of this, since this is the case, then I am angry at this moment, how about handing it over to the government to deal with according to the law now?" ”
Pingyang Hou Shizi was forced by his mother's coercion, so he had to say with a wry smile: "It's all up to the third lady to decide." ”
Xia Xue'er bent slightly towards Pingyang Hou Shizi and said, "Thank you, Shizi." ”
Mrs. Pingyang Hou is more and more fond of Xia Xue'er, I heard that the third lady of Xia Mansion has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and shy flowers, and today I can see this woman's extraordinary courage, and she is calm and unhurried, and there is no lack of intelligence and cleverness. There are many guests at today's banquet, if Xia Xue'er directly brings people to the scene, she is afraid that the face of the Pingyang Hou Mansion will be lost by this little companion! She could have done this, but she chose a better way, and this is the way she pleases!
Pingyang Hou Shizi was depressed, his face was lost by this little rabbit cub! He had made Xia Xue'er unhappy in Merlin before, and he was thinking about how to make up for it, this bold minion gave him such a play, and now he doesn't know how Xia Xue'er thinks of him!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and kicked at the sloppy man who was kneeling on the ground, but this kick caused a big problem. The sloppy man originally buried his head in front of his chest, but the whole person was knocked to the ground by this sudden kick, and his hidden face was finally revealed!
Shizi looked at it and exclaimed, "This is not my companion!" ”
"What!" The official also exclaimed, he almost offended General Xia for this companion today, and now he says that he is fake, how can he accept it!
Shizi pointed to the sloppy man who was paralyzed on the ground and said to everyone: "This is indeed not my companion! Then he bent down, grabbed the sloppy man's collar with one hand, and raised his fist with the other hand and scolded angrily: "Say! Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my companion! ”
Mrs. Pingyang Hou hurriedly coughed and signaled her son not to lose his sense of proportion in the Xia family, leaving a bad impression on Xia Xue'er! But her precious son was furious at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to her meaningful cough.
Just when the fist was about to land on the sloppy man's face, Xia Xue'er gave Su Qi a look, and Su Qi pinched Shizi's fist with lightning speed, Shizi was annoyed and angry, and this time, he aimed his fist at Su Qi. Seeing that her fist was about to fall on Su Qi, Xia Xue'er's heart was raised.
This time, it was Xia Qingxuan who reached out and clenched his fist, and stopped him in a loud voice: "Shizi, please pay attention to your words and deeds!" ”
Not angry and arrogant, Pingyang Hou Shizi slowly lowered his fist and glared at Su Qi angrily, Xia Xue'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Previously, the prince had promised to hand over this person to the government to be dealt with according to the law, how could he be beaten now!" After Xia Qingxuan finished speaking, he turned his head to the official and said, "Today is the birthday of the little girl, since the adults are here, let's sit together!" ”
The official naturally knew that Xia Qingxuan's invitation was not sincere but just out of politeness, and he also knew that what he did today had swept away the other party's interest, not to mention that there was a big difference between him and the official rank of the guests in the house, and if he really sat on the banquet, he would only be an outlier, so he bowed again and again and said: "Lord Xie's good intentions, it's just that the lower officials should take this person back to prison, so don't bother more." ”
"No."
After the officers and soldiers outside the mansion were withdrawn, Xia Qingxuan turned around and looked at Su Qi, first looked up and down, then showed an appreciative gaze, and asked, "I don't know the name of the knight." ”
"In Xia Suqi."
"Thank you Su Gongzi for coming to the rescue today, if you don't dislike it, how about staying in the house for dinner?"
Su Qi saluted respectfully and replied, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your orders, thank you General Xia!" ”
"Let's go! Take your seat! Xia Qingxuan was in a good mood, waved his sleeves, and led Su Qi towards the main house with a smile on his face.
Xia Xue'er also unconsciously had a sweet smile on her face, which showed that she was in a good mood!
Only the prince looked resentful, looking at Su Qi's departing back, he was even more angry, and hurriedly saluted Mrs. Xia, and said, "Thank you Madame for your hospitality, I still have something to do, say goodbye!" Without waiting for Mrs. Xia to speak, she turned around and strode away.
Mrs. Pingyang Hou watched her son leave helplessly, and hurriedly smiled and apologized: "My child has a straightforward temperament, and the etiquette is inadequate, please don't blame Mrs. Xia, and come to the door to apologize another day!" ”
Mrs. Xia smiled calmly and said, "Children are more willful and can understand. Seeing that the other party looked anxious, he kept glancing out of the door, and said, "Madame, go quickly." ”
Mrs. Hou Fu was amnesty, and hurriedly said: "Then I will leave!" With that, he hurried out with the support of the maid, got into the carriage and left quickly. Out of politeness, Mrs. Xia stood at the door and watched the other party leave, then turned around and led her daughter into the door.
Mrs. Xia looked at her daughter with a smile on her face, and she was also happy in her heart. The candidate of Pingyang Hou Shizi has fallen off the list, but Su Qi is not bad.
