Chapter 37: Return to Weicheng

When Xie An woke up again, it was almost dusk, there were no candles in the room, the sunset shone in, and there was a faint light in the room. She sat up, stretched, yawned again, rubbed her eyes, and remembered where she was. looked around, but didn't see Xiao Xiaohan. And a small figure is lying in front of the couch to take a nap, it is Aimo.

Xie An also pushed Aimo and woke her up.

"Girl, you're awake. Slave maid is going to dress up with you, it's winter now, it's getting dark fast, we have to hurry back, don't miss it. ”

"Are you alright?" Xie An also thought that Aimo was knocked unconscious and carried away before.

"The slave is fine. Although Chengyang's kid said that he knocked me out, he apologized to the slave when he woke up, and promised the slave a lot of silver. Girl, the slave doesn't know whether to accept it or not, you see......" said Aimo and took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket.

The man was really generous, knowing that she was short of silver, so he would find a reason to send some if he was fine, was this the rhythm of pleasing her and making her die for him?

"Give it to you, and you'll keep it. In the future, there will be more places to use money. By the way, how did you get in? ”

"Chengji came in through the gate with me. It turned out that the man was actually the prince, and he really couldn't see ......"

It seems that Xiao Xiaohan did not tell SΓΉ Aimo about the secret passage, and the matter of the edict cannot be said. Xie An also thought about it, his expression was stern, and he looked at Aimo and said word by word: "Prince Nali should be recuperating in Beijing now, but he appeared here, there must be some conspiracy, we must not be involved, otherwise not only will it be difficult to protect ourselves, but the entire Xie family will inevitably be implicated." Just now he asked me to be here, because he wanted to inquire about the divorce from the Meng family. It is said that Prince Li and the Meng family are like fire and water, and it seems that he wants to seize the handle of the Meng family from me to deal with the Meng family. Fortunately, I didn't know much about the Meng family, so he gave up. You know what is happening today, and you must not let a third person know, otherwise you and I will surely die. ”

After listening to this, Aimo's head nodded like pounding garlic. Fortunately, Xie Anyi came out this time to bring Aimo, she was simple-minded, and it was easy to deceive the past, if it was Ai Yan, even if she promised it, she must still have doubts in her heart.

After instructing Aimo, Xie An also re-dressed herself, sneaked out of the side door of the courtyard with Aimo, drilled the dog hole, and returned to the Xie family Zhuangzi. There was nothing to do all the way, so let's not show it for the time being.

……

The next day, Bai Lian sent a bed and futon to Xie Anyi's room under the pretext of cold weather. The two of them talked about the time of a stick of incense in the room, and Xie An also sent her back.

Although Bai Lian has been helping her, Xie An can't treat her as his own person no matter what, that is Xiao Xiaohan's eyeliner, so that she has no secrets in front of Xiao Xiaohan.

Today, Bai Lian gave her a general idea of the situation of the four major families in Beijing. From this point of view, the Meng family has the deepest background, and it has been rooted in various families for so many years. The Yuan family and the Lu family each have a concubine who married into the palace, one is Concubine Zhen, who is favored by the emperor, and the other is Concubine Hua, who gave birth to two little princes. The Yuwen family has only occupied a place in the court in recent years, and the general Yuwen guards the border passes, so that the northern Tartars bow down to the dynasty and dare not offend for ten years. And each of these four families has unmarried daughters, if you want to break into the social circle in Beijing, you must first have a good relationship with these women. But these women are good at riding and archery, and the other three are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is embarrassing Xie Anyi, she doesn't know anything.

Xie An also believed that Xiao Xiaohan would do what he said, and he said that she could let her go back to the Xie family, and she believed it. He said she would go to the capital, and she believed it. But she wondered what he would do to get her back.

After a few days, Bai Lian told her some anecdotes about Beijing every day, and gradually, Xie An also had a preliminary understanding of the capital.

On this day, Wang's mother came back. She entered Zhuangzi and went directly to invite Xie Anyi, and as soon as she entered the door, she made a big gift, which startled Xie Anye. Hurriedly asked Ai Yan to help her up, gave her a seat, and said, "Mother Wang, why is this, it's broken." ”

Mother Wang put away her previous humility and arrogance for the first time, and said with a smile on her face: "The old slave is here to pick up the girl back." ”

"Go back? Where to go? Xie An also asked knowingly, pretending to be stupid.

"Naturally, it's back to Weicheng. The old lady heard that the girl was deeply blessed by the Jing'an Treasure Temple in Zhuangzi, and the illness was almost cured, so it was sent to the old slave to take you back. Departure early tomorrow morning. ”

"So fast?" To be honest, Xie An didn't want to go back at all. She felt that her life in Zhuangzi was very leisurely and unrestrained, and now that she has the silver in her hand, her life is better. But if you go back to Weicheng, you have to do things for that person, not only is your life and safety threatened, but you are also constrained in doing things.

"Look at you, you're so happy that you're confused. Since you came to this Zhuangzi, the old lady misses you every day and looks forward to your return. The eighth sister is also in the old house now, and when she heard that you were going back, she was very happy, and said that I should leave as soon as possible. ”

Xie An also didn't believe a word about this Wang's mother's words, but said: "Then thank Wang's mother, I'll let people clean up their things." After speaking, he served tea and sent it off.

Ai Yan sent Wang's mother out of the door, and when she came to the door, she secretly handed over a silver hairpin. Xie An was also tight on money before, and rarely rewarded people, this is the first time that Mother Wang has taken her reward, and she can't help but be surprised, why is this seventh sister getting richer and richer in Zhuangzi?

Ai Yan took the opportunity to say: "Mother Wang has worked hard, she has been running all the way, so she should rest as soon as possible." It's just that my mother knows that our girl is going back this time, but what's the matter? ”

Mother Wang took the silver hairpin into her arms and said with a smile: "The girl will know when she goes back." A good thing, a great thing. ”

Ai Yan went back to report Wang's mother's words truthfully, but Xie An couldn't figure out what this good thing was even if he wanted to break his head.

In the evening, Aimo Aiyan had already begun to organize his luggage, and Xie An also sent someone to call Bailian, sent others away, and asked, "Is your master still in Jing'an Temple?" ”

"Back girl, I saw you that day, and the master set off for Beijing that afternoon. If the girl has anything, you can order the slaves and maids, Chengwu and they are near this Zhuangzi, one to protect the girl's safety, and the other to listen to your dispatch at any time. ”

Yo? I'm also a person with a secret guard? Xie An was also a little proud in his heart, and then remembered the big event he was going to find her today: "That's the case, I'm going back to Weicheng tomorrow, but I can't rest assured of this wonderful fresh bag here." You ask Chengwu to find someone to send it to your master, anyway, he said that I am about to enter Beijing, and it will not be too late to return it to me. I don't think there will be no boiled meat in the Liwang Mansion. ”

White Lotus's heart is dead, this ...... If the dog is sent over, it is not trivial for the master to get angry. But if it is not delivered, the dog really doesn't know what to do.

Xie An also seemed to see through her thoughts: "Since I want to do great things for your master, how can he not help with this little favor." Otherwise, ask him and see what he says. ”

Bai Lianxin said that this can be asked casually, the master will answer if you ask. Forget it, let's die, Bai Lian's heart was horizontal and responded.
