Chapter 387: What, Why?
It didn't take much effort for the ox cart to stop in front of a house. The old man said www.biquge.info the old man that this is the Xi family's mansion.
Such a house, the walls are not high and the house is not deep, it looks like it is two entrances, and the materials are still solid. If it is placed in the city, it is a well-off home, but in this countryside, it is an excellent 'mansion'.
Ning Junwu and Xia Xiaodong looked at it from a distance, and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl sitting at the door, with thin arms and legs, and dark skin.
Before Ning Junwu stepped forward, a half-grown boy suddenly walked over and said a few words to the little girl, and then saw the little girl's eyes lit up, and she ran away as if she was flying.
The young man bowed slightly to Ning Junwu and followed.
The door was not locked, and I pushed the door in with a creak, bypassing the white swaying wall, and was startled by the verdant in front of me.
Behind the wall, it is not the patio or courtyard of the usual house, and there is no embellishment such as a lotus pond...... Farmland.
It's really a one-of-a-kind field.
The soil in the field was black and moist, and there was not even a large amount of dirt, and it was very well cared for. Most of the plants are green vegetables in early spring, and there are some melons and fruits seedlings in close detail, and now all kinds of seedlings have sprouted, the tall ones can be more than one foot, and the short ones are also two inches, and the green oil is gratifying.
Hearing the movement, a woman who was bending down to pull weeds stood up straight and looked over.
The woman looked the same as an ordinary peasant woman, except that there were no patches on her clothes, and her head was wrapped in a blue headcloth, and the hand raised in front of her forehead cast a dark shadow on her face, and she could not see clearly for a while.
Ning Junwu's body suddenly stiffened, and he reached out and grabbed Xia Xiaodong's arm, but he didn't say anything.
The woman put down her hand, slapped her body a few times, and swept away some of the dust from the field, and walked slowly over.
"The twenty-sixth master has arrived. Go inside and drink tea. The woman's voice was low and steady, without surprise or panic.
Xia Xiaodong's gaze turned around Ning Junwu and the woman, and he was inevitably a little surprised.
The woman who threw herself into the peasant woman's pile and promised that she would never find it again, was it Jia Grandma?
From Ning Junwu's half-star narration before, coupled with the experience of being almost captured last time at the dock, Xia Xiaodong's impression of Grandma Jia was probably the old aunt's perverted stubbornness and solemnity, and later learned that she actually had an illegitimate child, and corrected the old aunt to old green tea.
Who knows what the hell is this peasant woman with a gentle expression and calm demeanor when I look at it in person now?!
Ning Twenty-six was obviously even more shocked than Xia Xiaodong. Xia Xiaodong just felt the gap in his imagination, but Ning Junwu clearly felt that an extremely familiar person had become extremely strange.
In addition to the eyebrows and eyes, as well as the nose, ears and mouth, it is indeed Jia Grandma, yes, and the others, whether it is the dress and temperament or the aura exuded by the body, are not right.
Could it be that Grandma Jia still has a twin sister? Maybe Ah Hu and they searched and searched, but they didn't find the main owner, but found another one who had been separated for many years?
However, what Grandma Jia said next quickly dispelled Ning Junwu's suspicions.
"The twenty-sixth master is from the capital." Grandma Jia led the way and walked into the house, only to hear his voice but not his face, and could only see a very flat double ring knot behind the turban.
This sentence is naturally nonsense, and Grandma Jia said to herself: "I want to come with Miss Xia." Since I heard that Miss Xia was named the eldest princess of Minhui, she later made Yanzhou a fief. I thought I might have a chance to meet. ”
Not everyone is road blind like Xia Xiaodong. Chen County is on the way from the capital to Yanzhou.
"You ...... you bought this place a few years ago? It's a lot of planning! Ning Junwu didn't know what to call Grandma Jia, so he simply vaguely passed.
"......" Grandma Jia didn't answer, but just pushed open the hidden door, quickly stabbed the small tea stove that was smoldering, added some water to the crooked clay pot, and put it on to burn.
"Originally, I bought this place for retirement." Grandma Jia sighed, dragged two square stools over, and beckoned Ning Junwu and Xia Xiaodong to come and sit.
The round table is not big, and the three of them sit around just right. If you don't have all the things before, just look at the current scene, the woman with a smile on the corner of her eyes, the young man with dark eyes and handsome lines, and the girl who is beautiful and generous and smiling, looking like a happy family.
The clay pot makes the sound of boiling water. Grandma Jia hurriedly raised her hand and took it down, but she was not busy making tea, but only washed the teapot, teacup and fair cup and other things with boiling water, added a pinch of big red robe to the teapot, and let the tea simmer slightly in it first-the freshly boiled water is too hot, it is not suitable to make tea, you have to wait.
Ning Junwu has seen this scene well since he was a child, but now it's just that the tea set is different, and he didn't feel more and more sad in his heart, and asked in a dumb voice: "Why?" ”
The voice is low, dull and unpleasant like a rough stone. Xia Xiaodong reached under the table, found one of Ning Junwu's hands, and held it gently.
"Why?" Grandma Jia didn't look at Ning Junwu, there was a gentle smile in her eyes, but she looked at the round button on the lid of the teapot: "What, why?" She raised her head and looked directly into Ning Junwu's eyes: "What did I do that needs to be explained?" ”
What did you do?! Ning Junwu glared at her in shock, but he couldn't find the right words to question.
Why are you looking for someone to attack Miss Xia?! Uh, like...... It's to help yourself get it back.
Why are you looking for those nasty guys?! Isn't it unreasonable to ask only about the result and not about the means? Moreover, those guys who really did it, I guess the person who gave the order has never seen it, right?
Why did you steal an illegitimate child?! Do you need to talk to anyone about this? Except for the child, his father .......
Why did you lay a shadow on Twenty-Eight?! Wouldn't it be better for you to arrange for someone to be around your half-brother and raise him indiscriminately?
Why don't you tell me this?! You were young before, and when you are older, tell you that you will agree?
The stuffy stuff in the jar may have rotted and smelly, or it may have been pickled into a crisp and delicious pickle, but no one wants to lift the lid to verify that is the result. A lot of things, it's not that I don't really know, I just don't want to think about it.
Is such a woman, who seems to have guarded herself for at least ten years, really duplicitous, secretly scheming, ruthless, vicious, and heinous?
"Since it's ......," after a long while, Ning Junwu suddenly asked a strange question: "Since you don't object to me being with Miss Xia, why do you have to go to Tianbei Street before I leave?" ”
