Chapter 226: Sisters Match
On the bumpy official road, a series of convoys walked slowly, led by a tall and thin young man, he was mediocre in appearance, not handsome, but there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows that was difficult to ignore.
"Laifu, how far is it?"
A shrewd-looking young man came on a horse, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy: "Young master, we have arrived at the boundary of Changzhou, there are still two hundred miles away from Changzhou City, and we will be home in two days at most!" ”
The young man looked at the sky and said, "Okay, let's go faster, we need to get to town before it gets dark." ”
"Young master, don't worry, you can go over the mountain in front of you, and when you arrive at the boundary of Changzhou, it will be at our doorstep, the master must have arranged it a long time ago, let's move in directly."
"Don't be careless, you have to be careful until you get home."
"Yes, the little one will go and pass the word."
The young man named Laifu rode a pony and trotted to the back of the convoy, raising his voice as he ran: "Everyone cheer up and go faster, we will go over the hill in front of us to the foothold, and we will be in Changzhou in two days......
The curtain of one of the carriages was lifted, and a young woman with crooked eyebrows and a beautiful face stretched out her head: "Hey, little brother Laifu, what did you say?" Two more days to Changzhou? Really? ”
Laifu stopped and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, I can't fool anyone, Sister Xiangxiang!" ”
Yu Xiangxiang glanced at him: "Flamboyant tongue, don't learn well at a young age!" Hey, Laifu, let me ask you, how far is Changzhou from Jiangzhou? Won't you go to Jiangzhou? ”
"Jiangzhou has to go to the east, it's not too far, just two or three hundred miles! Our family is from Changzhou, so it's natural to go back to Changzhou, but Sister Xiangxiang can rest assured. Since our son has agreed, he will definitely send you to Jiangzhou. ”
"Okay, I'm relieved to have this sentence, you are busy!" Yu Xiangxiang waved her hand and retracted into the carriage.
She looked back at the big-eyed girl beside her and bumped her arm: "Hear me, sister, we're almost there!" ”
The girl smiled and nodded. The hand that grabbed the burden tightened.
Yu Xiangxiang glanced at the burden. muttered dissatisfiedly: "You girl is really, she thinks I am my sister, and she still treats her burden baby like that." What's in there? Can't you show me? ”
Xiao Xia immediately held the burden in her arms and looked at her vigilantly, Yu Xiangxiang shook her head: "Stinky girl, miser, fortunately, we didn't meet thieves along the way." Otherwise, you're screwed! ”
Xiao Xia glared at her dissatisfied, and turned her head to look out the window.
Count it up. It's been half a month since I left Beijing, and halfway through I heard that the third prince Feng Jin Tianshun had ascended the throne, and the queen's family was uprooted and wiped out. What a tragic word, it is said that even the queen herself hanged herself, and none of the officials and royal relatives who participated in the battle for imperial power had a good end.
Xiao Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I was not in the capital, otherwise I would have seen that bloody scene. She must be so scared that she can't even sleep well, and now the only thing she cares about is Su Linglong's whereabouts, and she doesn't know what the Liang family will do to her?
Xiao Xia has been very distressed about this problem, Su Linglong is too vicious, it stands to reason that this kind of person is not worthy of sympathy, on the other hand, Su Linglong is also a part of himself, if Liang Chenjing is ruthless to her without knowing it, does it mean that he will not show mercy to himself when he makes mistakes? But if he really did something like Su Linglong, he couldn't forgive himself, so he just died.
This is an unsolvable problem, Xiao Xia shook his head and didn't want to think about it.
"What? Thinking about your sweetheart again? Stinky girl, tell me, what does your sweetheart look like? ”
Xiao Xia looked up at Yu Xiangxiang, she had the same surname as herself, and she happened to meet her by chance on the day she left the city, when she was looking for a ride to the convoy to the south.
Actually, this is not the first time Yu Xiangxiang has seen her, Yu Xiangxiang herself doesn't know, but Xiao Xia remembers it clearly, thinking that when she and Liang Chenjing were not married, they were kidnapped by a female thief in a dress and hung on a tree to blackmail Liang Chenjing.
And Yu Xiangxiang was the woman who helped herself talk in the group of female thieves at the beginning, Xiao Xia didn't know what happened to the group of female thieves later, but she learned from Yu Xiangxiang's words that the group of thieves was exterminated by the government, and the women were all arrested close to the government, and after being locked up for half a year, they were sold one after another, and Yu Xiangxiang was also bought back as a concubine by a rich man.
The woman who had been a bandit was bold and ruthless, and it was easy for her to deal with a rich man, and she didn't stay long to make a fuss at the rich man's house, and finally was kicked out by the old lady with a letter of resignation, which just weighed her intentions, let her regain herself, and also took a sum from the rich man's house.
said that the sisters were proposed by Yu Xiangxiang herself, and the reason is very simple, because they are all surnamed Yu, they are all single women, they all go to Jiangzhou, and the sisters in the same township and road are commensurate and easy to take care of.
thinks that sisters are not really like sisters, and for half a month along the way, Yu Xiangxiang has always been talking, but she has never said that she has a brilliant record in the rich man's house, and she never mentions this before, let alone being a bandit, so Xiao Xia doesn't trust her, and only treats her as a partner on the same road.
Half an hour later, the convoy entered a town called Dingjiaji, and Laifu rode a horse to inform everyone to enter the town in turn, and after arriving at the place, they went directly to the lobby to get a sign to find a place to stay.
When the carriage was stable, Yu Xiangxiang took the lead in going out to take a look, and when she turned around, Xiao Xia beckoned: "Come, sister, come soon, it's time to get to the place, you can finally rest and rest!" ”
Yu Xiangxiang jumped down from the one-meter-high carriage, and then turned around to help Xiao Xia.
"I'll do it!" A dark and powerful hand with distinct bones stretched out next to him, and Xiao Xia looked up and saw that it was Xue Yongan.
Yes, I was lucky, I didn't go far with Yu Xiangxiang when I met Xue Yongan's southbound convoy.
Although Xue Yongan didn't know him, he knew him very well, and it was not difficult to persuade him to bring him.
"Miss Xiaoxia, I'll help you down!" Xue Yongan saw that Xiao Xia was looking at him and didn't move, and it was difficult to retract his hand, so he could only repeat it awkwardly.
Xiao Xia smiled brightly at him, put his little hand in his palm, Xue Yongan took advantage of the situation to hold her and put her on the ground, "The two are girls, the room has been arranged, it is the second room of this inn." It's right next door to my room, I'll take you inside! ”
Yu Xiangxiang's thief's eyes swept between Xiao Xia and Xue Yongan, and said excitedly: "Okay, then there is Lao Xue Gongzi!" ”
"It's an honor to be under it, please!" Xue Yongan has always been polite, which makes Yu Xiangxiang very satisfied.
When she entered the room, Yu Xiangxiang invited Xue Yongan to come in for tea. Xue Yongan glanced at Xiao Xia. said that he had a lot of things to do, but in the end he didn't come in.
As soon as the door was closed, Yu Xiangxiang rushed to Xiao Xia's side:
"Hey. Stinky girl, you are so blessed! In just a few days, then Xue Gongzi has taken a fancy to you! I've already inquired, don't look at that Xue Gongzi is over twenty years old. They still haven't married a wife.
I heard that the Xue family is a well-known family in Changzhou, and they do the imperial business. Specially dedicated to the palace to worship porcelain, it is a mountain of gold and silver, more valuable than a family fortune!
Hey, stupid girl. How's that for you? ”
Xiao Xia shook her head funny, and Yu Xiangxiang was anxious: "Hey." Don't you just shake your head? What's wrong with Xue Gongzi? To be tall, to have height, to have character. If you want to have family wealth, even if your face is not handsome enough, it is not bad!
What's the use of being pretty, man? Mother, look at the one surnamed Shangguan in the capital, those two sons are beautiful, right? Did it work? Both of them are broken sleeves, that kind of person is simply born in the wrong place, and it will be troublesome to grow something for nothing, so I'm really worried about his family......"
Yu Xiangxiang derogated the Shangguan Yan brothers for a while, Xiao Xia was funny and speechless, I didn't expect that even Yu Xiangxiang knew Shangguan Yan, that narcissist, you must want to kill someone if you are talked about like this, right?
"Silly girl, I'm really good for you, think about it?"
Yu Xiangxiang leaned in front of Xiao Xia and winked at her, Xiao Xia smiled and shook her head gently, pointing at her throat and waving her hand.
"You said you can't speak, for fear that Xue Gongzi will dislike you? Hey, don't worry, it's not that Xue Gongzi doesn't know that you can't speak, he doesn't mind what else do you mind? According to me, a woman is good in any way, as long as she can have children, no other problem is a problem. ”
At the mention of this Xiao Xia, her face immediately turned white, thinking that when she was with Liang Chenjing, the old lady wanted to hold her grandson so much, so urging, but she was not angry, and she had no way to give birth to her, even if she changed her body, she was also not qualified to have children, so she never planned to find a man again in her life.
As for Liang Chenjing, in fact, as long as Su Linglong is sincere to him and they live happily, he will not break them up, even if there is no Su Linglong, according to Liang Chenjing's character, identity, status, and the Liang family's family background, what kind of woman do you want to find? I believe that sooner or later he will forget the vicious Su Linglong, and by the way, forget his former self.
Xiao Xia bowed her head silently with a faint pain in her heart, and Yu Xiangxiang looked at her expression and exclaimed, "Won't it?" You can't have children either? Why? You are innocent and a good girl, how is it possible? ”
Xiao Xia looked at her with a white face and turned her head, Yu Xiangxiang saw that she was really sad, she thought about it, and comforted her kindly: "Okay, okay, don't be sad, it's all bad to blame my sister, my sister is too talkative, don't be sad, in fact, there are many women in the world who can't have children, don't hide it from you, I can't either, our sisters are really fateful!" ”
Xiao Xia looked at her in surprise, and stared at her up and down, how could he not be born and raised if he was a thief and didn't enter the Qinglou?
Yu Xiangxiang touched her nose in a daze: "Don't look at me like this!" I...... I didn't do anything unseemly, I just ...... It's just that when I was thirteen years old, I was abducted and sold to the Qinglou, and my mother forced me to drink sterilization soup and wanted me to pick up customers. ”
Yu Xiangxiang glanced at Xiao Xia, for fear that she would be afraid or look down on herself when she heard that she had passed through the Qinglou and had been a thief, but Xiao Xia's appearance was very calm, as if she felt that her experience was nothing.
"Sister, didn't you understand what I said?"
Xiao Xia smiled and nodded to show that she understood.
"Understood, you're not afraid of me?"
Xiao Xia blinked, why be afraid? I already knew that you had been a bandit, but I didn't expect you to enter the Qinglou, and her life is extraordinary enough.
Of course, Xiao Xia couldn't speak, and Yu Xiangxiang didn't know what she was thinking, she just stared at her scrutinically for a long time, and suddenly hugged her happily:
"Great, finally someone knows that I am not afraid that I will not alienate me in the past, I really didn't misunderstand you, stinky girl, we will be real sisters in the future, rest assured, my sister will take you everywhere, we will depend on each other in the future, ah!"
Xiao Xia was strangled by Yu Xiangxiang uncomfortably, it is rare for her to look down on me, there is no one to accompany me all the way, it is good to have her with her, at least it is much more convenient.
After a while, Yu Xiangxiang let go of Xiao Xia: "Hey, by the way, stinky girl, you haven't said anything about your life experience, your family?" ”
Xiao Xia thought for a moment and shook her head.
"No?"
Natsu nodded.
"Don't have a family?"
Xiao Xia nodded again, Yu Xiangxiang's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she took her hand sadly:
"Poor girl, don't worry, my sister will be your family in the future, and my sister will take care of you, ah!"
Seeing her expression of pity for herself, Xiao Xia smiled, this Yu Xiangxiang is really a person with a temperament, her temperament is like herself who has just come to this world, and now she has a feeling of vicissitudes.
"Hey, by the way, sister, what are you doing in Jiangzhou? Are there any relatives over there? ”
Natsu shook her head.
"Friends?"
Natsu shook her head again.
"If you don't have relatives or friends, what are you going to do there? Is there an enemy who can't do it? ”
Xiao Xia thought about it, she came here to find colorful beads, she clearly remembered that when she first arrived in this world, didn't she just meet Liang Chenyu who was looking for colorful beads in the Li family of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion in Jiangzhou?
She later inquired intentionally or unintentionally, and that time she met Liang Chen, Liang Chenjing, Shangguan Yan and the three princes in Jiangzhou within a few days, and they all appeared in Jiangzhou at the same time for the colorful pearls.
The Liang brothers went because Lao Taijun was critically ill during that time, and he almost died, and they went to save Lao Taijun; The third prince naturally went to find it for the old emperor, as for Shangguan Yan, he himself said that he just happened to travel near Jiangzhou, and when he heard that Liang Chenjing appeared in Jiangzhou, he followed to find it, and now in retrospect, he always feels that Shangguan Yan is lying.
Those people had their own purposes, and they turned over the Hou Mansion a few times in the open and secretly but didn't find anything, thinking that it might be rumored that there was a business trip, and the things might not be in the Hou Mansion, so they dispersed.
As for the rumor, Xiao Xia once heard Liang Chenjing personally say that it was a friend on the rivers and lakes who saw with his own eyes that a group of bandits on the border of Jiangzhou hijacked the team escorting tribute and took away the colorful beads. After that, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits and destroy the thieves' den, and the colorful beads disappeared from then on.
It is true that the Li family of the Hou Mansion has colluded with the bandits, Xue Yongan can confirm that outsiders only say that the Hou Mansion husband and wife are modest and polite, and they are low-key, but Xiao Xia, who has entered the Hou Mansion, knows best, those two old things are extremely treacherous, and they are the best at acting, and the colorful beads must still be in their hands.
"Sister, you won't really seek revenge, will you?"
Xiao Xia glanced back at Yu Xiangxiang, pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded clearly, yes, I am here to seek revenge. (To be continued.) )
