Chapter 9: Who is the Comer?

It's finally here!

Xia Xiaodong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and followed Xiaodao Gu to the side hall of Xianfu Palace where Guanli received foreign guests.

Lord Yu Guan is already inside, and there are two people, a man and a woman, who are probably the so-called 'people from the Xia family'.

Xia Xiaodong first saluted the Lord, and then raised his eyes to look at it, and was taken aback.

These two ...... No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Li Dalang's father and mother.......

Judging from the close range of this man and woman, these two are obviously husband and wife, and they are both middle-aged.

The man wore a long sauce-colored robe with dark patterns, smooth and smooth in texture, of fine material, with a short beard on his lips that was very neatly trimmed, and his eyes were slender, and he looked like a man of a gentle temperament.

The woman's clothes are very plain, with a lake-green satin jacket and a dark skirt, which is very neat, but the two hairpins on her head are red gold, and the other is flat, but it is a tortoiseshell texture.

This can't be the coachman's father and peasant woman in Li Dalang's mouth!

Lord Yu Guan smiled and introduced: "This is the white steward and his wife from Suzhou. ”

When the two saw Xia Xiaodong coming in, they looked at each other, then said, "I've seen the eldest lady", and came over to bow together.

Xia Xiaodong hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "I was young when I left home, and I really don't remember anyone." ”

The lady in charge of the white steward wiped the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "It's true that time waits for no one." In a blink of an eye, the young lady is so old, and she has reached the age when she should say goodbye, so the old man is worried about it, let the young lady go back. ”

The white steward touched a letter from his bosom and handed it to Yu Guan with both hands: "This is the letter from the master to the Guan Lord." Thank you for taking care of my young lady for many years. He bowed again.

Yu Guanzhu's expression was a little stiff, I don't know if he was worried that Xia Xiaodong, an impostor, would show his feet when he went back, so he took the letter and looked at it twice, and handed it to Xia Xiaodong.

The letter paper seems to be special, and there is a seal similar to an emblem in the upper right corner, which is a summer character in seal font. The content of the letter is very simple, and the white steward couple said in the mouth is roughly the same, the font is flying, not very good, but quite a bit of martial arts temperament, the name belongs to a dragon flying phoenix dance, except for the first 'summer' word, the last two words are not understood, and a small round private seal is stamped.

Perfect letter.

The white steward looked outside at the sky and said with a smile: "The car is already outside, if you can catch up, it is better to leave early, so as not to turn around and miss the accommodation, the young lady is expensive, and it will be difficult to settle at that time." ”

Yu Guan looked at Xia Xiaodong, and couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he had to soothe a few words with gentle words and let Xia Xiaodong pack up his things and go home.

When Xia Xiaodong walked out of Xianyiguan, his mind was quite complicated.

It is certainly quiet to be salty and beautiful, but if you only seek food and clothing, it is not a problem. Once you leave here, it's red dust.

But since I came here, there is no reason to shrink into the shell of Xianyiguan and be a turtle.

The carriage of the Xia family stopped at the gate of the Taoist temple. There are two cars, one large and one small, and the big one is naturally for the young lady.

The two black and shiny high-headed horses, snorting, glanced at Xia Xiaodong with dark eyes, then turned their heads, lifted their thick lips, and went to eat the beans handed over by the coachman, biting loudly.

Xia Xiaodong took a closer look at the coachman standing in front of the horse's head, but did not find Li Dalang's shadow.

Seeing that the little Dao aunt behind Xia Xiaodong only helped to hold a small burden, the white housekeeper couldn't help but sigh at the girl's hard life, and reached out to help Xia Xiaodong get into the car while chattering.

The carriage looks not small, the workmanship is very good, the window is hung with delicate Hunan bamboo curtains, and there are silk pendants on both sides of the door.

Seeing the Xia family emblem on the outside of the carriage that was consistent with the letterhead, Xia Xiaodong finally gave up and decided to accept the reality.

is completely impeccable, it seems that it is really the Suzhou Xia family who has come to pick him up.

The moment he lifted his feet and got into the car, Xia Xiaodong actually thought that he wouldn't wait for him to leave, Li Dalang and his father would come, right?

Then, I met Ah Fu.

With a round face, Ah Fu is very similar to the big Ah Fu clay man.

With two bags on her head, wearing a light cyan long armor, Ah Fu was completely dressed as a maid, and when she saw Xia Xiaodong getting into the car, she smiled and reached out to help her sit firmly, and even bent down to straighten Xia Xiaodong's skirt.

The lady of the white housekeeper also got in the car and sat on the other side of Xia Xiaodong, just one left and one right with Ah Fu, sandwiching Xia Xiaodong in the middle.

The car didn't go away for a while, and there was all kinds of movement outside.

The white steward was saying goodbye to the Yu Guan Lord and the Zhike who were sent out.

Yu Guan seemed to be apologizing, saying that the maids who came with the girl back then were all old and married, and they couldn't go back together, so that Miss Xia had no one around at this time, and she didn't look decent enough.

Later, the white butler got into the car behind.

The white butler lady, Xia Xiaodong, and Ah Fu in the carriage did not speak, but listened quietly.

Until the car shook, the coachman outside shouted, as if it was about to start, the white steward lady reached out and lifted the curtain of the car window, and said lightly: "The girl should look out at this time and say hello to the watcher." ”

Xia Xiaodong leaned over and looked out of the window.

Lord Yu Guan's eyes caught Xia Xiaodong's, his eyes met, and he quickly separated with the carriage. The impression of the two of them is fixed in the last smile that seems to be there.

The carriage was not fast at first, but after getting on the official road, it galloped all the way. The wheels are made of wood, and although the outside is covered with rubber, at such speeds, the inside of the car is still bumpy and there is no comfort at all.

The white housekeeper lady and Ah Fu each 'supported' Xia Xiaodong's arm, but still didn't speak.

Xia Xiaodong didn't ask anything.

When the car finally stopped, the first thing the women in the car did was to tie up their loose hair.

The general will be packed up, and the carriage door opens.

The white steward stood in the doorway.

There was no longer any gentleness on his face, and his slender eyes narrowed even more, staring at Xia Xiaodong's face again and again.

"Come down." The white butler stepped back and let the door out.

Xia Xiaodong found that the car arrived at Yunchang Mansion and is now parked in the courtyard of a large inn.

The lady and the white housekeeper looked at each other, still 'supporting' Xia Xiaodong's arm, and said flatly: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

The room is naturally already booked, it is a suite, an open hall for guests, and bedrooms on both sides.

Li Dalang was sitting on the circle chair in the open hall, and when he saw that the white steward and others had brought Xia Xiaodong in, he immediately stood up and called out to the white steward: "Uncle Bai." ”

I didn't expect this white butler to really have the surname Bai.
