Chapter Thirty-Eight: Returning Home
In this way, Miao Xianbao was secretly sent by Bai Lian to Xiao Xiaohan's garden in Beijing that specializes in raising animals, but he was not informed, and the matter was not reported for the time being.
Let's talk about Xie An's return to Weicheng.
Early the next morning, Xie Anyi and his party set off in a majestic manner, and when Aimo got into the carriage, he glanced at the surrounding small guys and carriages, and couldn't help but smack his tongue, this formation is much bigger than when he came.
Xie An also didn't care about anything, and when he got into the carriage, he lay down and fell asleep. By the time she woke up, it was already dawn. She asked in a daze, "Where are we?" ”
Ai Yan handed her a handkerchief and cleaned her face again, and said, "Girl, we just came out of Jing'an Temple." ”
"What?" Xie An was also shocked, could it be that he crossed over again? Isn't it back to Weicheng? Jing'an Temple is in two directions with it, what to do around Jing'an Temple?
Ai Yan wrung out the handkerchief and explained: "That Wang's mother said that we went to Zhuangzi this time because the girl was filial and wanted to pray for the old lady. Although the girl said that she lived in Zhuangzi, she still had to climb the mountain to the Jing'an Temple every day to burn incense and worship the Buddha to show her sincerity, and this kind of filial piety was a model for a woman in the boudoir. Now that it has been 7749 days, the girl dares to say that the carriage has appeared in Jing'an Temple again. ”
Xie An also listened, and with a "poof", the salt water that had just rinsed his mouth sprayed Aimo's face. Aimo didn't dislike it, wiped his face with a handkerchief, handed over the salt water again, and said: "I don't know what their idea is, they secretly sent the girl over, and sent it back with great fanfare, and made up these lies." ”
Xie An didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that this should be to build momentum for her and gain a good reputation, so as to meet their goals. Could it be that her marriage is developing again? I don't know what method the man used, so he really sent her back from the Zhuangzi.
"Whatever their purpose, this girl and I have a good reputation, aren't you happy?" Xie An also quipped.
Aimo Aiyan hurriedly shook her head, they only live for Xie An in this life, if she is well, their life will be fine.
"But seriously, Aimo, you remember, this time we went back to the old house, you must have a good relationship with other people, we are weak, no matter what news is not clear, we must be restricted everywhere. Anyway, now that you have some silver, when you go back, you will ask Bailian to help you change it into a copper plate, which is convenient for rewarding. Don't give too much every time, where does the silver come from for us who are not favored, but if you give it a few more times, others will remember your goodness. ”
"Yes." Aimo hurriedly answered.
Previously, Xie An had also arranged an identity for Bai Lian. said that when her mother Qian did not marry into the Xie family, she gave Bai Lian two meat buns when she was still a child, and it was these two meat buns that saved the lives of Bai Lian and her brother. Later, Bai Lian grew up and sold herself to the Xie family, but she didn't know that the life-saving benefactor of that meal was the deceased wife of Sanfang, Xie Anyi's biological mother. It wasn't until the last time I went to Jing'an Temple that I accidentally found the portrait of the Qian family when I was packing up my things, and I didn't dare to make a noise.
What Xie An didn't expect was that such a lame lie, Aimo Aiyan, completely believed it. There are three reasons, one is that in the concept of the ancients, this kind of behavior of repaying gratitude is too normal; the second is that Aimo Aiyan entered the mansion relatively late, and at that time the Qian family had already married Xie Zhili; The third reason is that the blind cat met the dead mouse and Xie An was right, the Qian family really gave the little beggar meat buns when he was young, but it was not a white lotus. This, when the Qian family's nurse was still there, once told the little girls that they believed that the little beggar was the White Lotus.
And that silver, since the last time Xie An also told Aimo that he didn't know why he had silver in his hand, Aimo has always thought that the silver belonged to Xiao Xiaohan. I don't know how she told Ai Yan, Ai Yan also believed it and didn't ask.
In this way, it was already dusk when the group arrived at the old house of the Xie family in Weicheng. Xie An also got out of the carriage at the door and entered the house through the side door, but he didn't expect Hua Hong to wait there with a small sedan chair, and when he saw Xie An, he also gave them a salute and said, "Girl, you can come back." Old lady, they are still waiting for you to eat. ”
The sound of the bonus was loud and crisp, and although it was at the side door, a few passers-by stopped when they heard the sound and looked towards Xie An. Not far from the side door, there happened to be a noodle stall, and a few noodle eaters secretly asked Xiao Er: "Little second brother, how many girls are these Xie family?" is so valued, then Mrs. Xie has to wait for her to use dinner. ”
Xiao Er shook his head, and said in his heart that he had never heard of a girl who was so valued before, so he wanted to inquire with the janitor.
Xie An didn't know what happened outside, and when she heard Hua Hong say this, she asked Aimo to take the little girl to Qingfeng Yuan to put her luggage. She got into a soft sedan chair, followed by Aiyan, and walked to Rongci Hall.
Ai Yan saw that there was no one else except for the two rough mothers-in-law who carried the sedan chair, so she quietly walked up to Hua Hong, took out a small piece of broken silver and secretly stuffed it into Hua Hong's hand, and asked, "Sister Hua Hong, it is really my girl's fault to let the old lady wait for my girl to eat." I don't know who else is here, if everyone is waiting, then my girl's sin will be too great. ”
Hua Hong stuffed it into her sleeve pocket without even looking at the silver, she really looked down on the seventh sister for being stingy, but who thinks that there is a lot of silver, don't be in vain. Besides, I have seen that the old lady's attitude towards the seventh sister has changed recently, and the master is polite, how dare she be a slave.
"The sisters are here." Hua Hong whispered, she thought about it, and added: "The eighth sister is also here." ”
The words of the two were listened to word by word by Xie An on the sedan chair, and she had a kind of expectation in her heart, wanting to meet this legendary "good" sister.
……
As soon as I got off the sedan chair, a little maid went in to report. After a while, Ye Lu came out to help lift the curtain, and Xie An also walked in with Ai Yan.
As soon as she entered the house, she didn't have time to kneel down to give Mrs. Xie a big gift, when she saw a blue shadow flying towards her: "Sister, people miss you so much!" You're finally back! Grandmother has been waiting for you for a long time! ”
Xie An was also stumbled by her, and almost didn't stand firm, then the blue shadow let go of her and took a step back: "Sister, why don't you answer me?" Are you really suffering from the disease of losing your soul, as they say? ”
"Eight girls, what are you talking about, come back quickly. You are so reckless, how will you marry in Beijing in the future and take charge of the back house? Although Mrs. Xie's words were harsh, her tone was full of doting.
The blue shadow stuck out her tongue and obediently returned to sit down beside Mrs. Xie.
"Green tea!" This is Xie An's evaluation of this sister who has "admired the name for a long time".
"Yo, why did you suffer from soul loss and even forget etiquette. Why didn't you salute your grandmother for a long time when she came in. Another voice beside the old lady said mockingly.
