Chapter 39: A Mysterious Journey
39 old rules, push and receive rewards, hurry up and support.
Xi Fei immediately made an act that surprised everyone present, only to see her take off her coat, revealing a simple-to-wear coarse linen dress inside, completely ignoring the surprise of all the clan relatives, indifferently walked to the woman in the field, picked up an idle sickle beside her, and smiled softly at her: "The conversation with me just now must have wasted a lot of your time, so I will help you, and it can be regarded as making up for your loss." Ignoring the woman's sluggishness, he bent down and went straight to harvest the grain.
The clan relatives were completely stunned, and watched Mrs. Xi dressed in coarse linen clothes, with the slaves and maids beside her to get barefoot on the ground, working side by side with the common people, and there was a lot of discussion for a moment.
An old clan member walked up to Ji Xi with a little panic, saluted, and said: "Master Hou, Madame's behavior is inappropriate, Madame is the mother of our country, how can she ...... with the common people."
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Ji Xi, who looked at Xi Fei in the field with a smile, and said slowly: "Madame naturally has Madame's thoughts when she does this, don't say much." ”
What an honor it is for the wife of the lord of the country to now wear coarse clothes and work with the common people in the countryside and fields, which is unreasonable! What's more, this Mrs. Xi is from the Chen royal family, with golden branches and jade leaves, pampered, where can she withstand such scorching sun exposure? For a time, there were many people who dissuaded Ji Xi. But there are also a lot of jokes with arms crossed.
However, Xi Fei's next performance stunned the sects.
What all the clan relatives didn't expect was that Concubine Xi and her subordinate slave Yinmeng were holding a sickle in their hands, harvesting rice neatly in the rice field, even though the sickle blade had stopped, but their speed did not decrease, which made all the clan relatives a little surprised, the dignified Princess Chen Guo, Mrs. Xi Guo, actually did these inferior rough work so neatly, and couldn't help but be a little impressed.
These clan relatives didn't know if they were a little embarrassed in their faces, or they were infected by Xi Fei, and then they ordered their subordinates to bring tea to quench the thirst of the busy people in the land of Wangji.
None of the people who took this tea bowl were not grateful, but they were more optimistic about the mother of the country who worked with the common people in the fields.
And Xi Fei brandished the scythe in her hand, and did not show her delicacy, like those people, who did not rest until dusk.
After nearly a day's work, Xi Fei is also a golden branch after all, where can she support it, and at night her body is still a little tired and a little sluggish. Returned to the post house, I didn't see Ji Xi's figure, guessing that maybe it was going to meet with the clan, so I summoned Yin Meng, and I had to rest after a simple freshening up, and at this moment, a person walked in from the door.
The man saluted respectfully and said, "Madame, don't rest, please go to a place with the servants!" ”
Xi Fei turned her head, glanced at the person, a little familiar, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "Oh, you are the close attendant next to the Hou Ye, do you have something to do with coming to the palace now?" Where do you want Hongu to go with you? ”
The attendant smiled meaningfully and replied, "Since Madam recognizes that the slave is the person next to the Hou Ye, then she won't take too much precautions against the slave." ”
As soon as he heard this, Yin Meng responded smartly: "Ai, this is not accurate, maybe you were bought by others, and you took advantage of the lack of people tonight to trick my wife into going out, and wanted to do harm?" ”
When the waiter heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh a little, shook his head and said: "Miss Yinmeng is really good at laughing, don't joke about the villain anymore, the little one's life still has to be boiled for a few years, if it is heard, it is really impossible to say it." He turned his head to look at Concubine Xi, nodded and said, "Madam, the little one was sent by the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye sent the villain to invite the lady to visit." ”
Xi Fei was puzzled and asked, "Swim, swim what?" What is there to visit in this big night? ”
The attendant snorted and said vaguely, "This ...... The little one doesn't know, the little one is just ordered to come to invite the lady, and the others will not know until the lady goes! ”
This passage is vague, and the key points are not clear, anyone who listens to it will have a kind of disbelief, Yin Meng posted it, leaned on Xi Fei's ear, and said softly: "Madam, I think this person is very weird, I can't tell some of the other conspiracies in this, seeing that his eyes are flickering and vague, there must be something to hide, do you believe him or not?" ”
Xi Fei also frowned slightly, unable to believe or disbelieve, and hesitated.
It seemed that he could see the knot in Xi Fei's heart, and the attendant smiled slightly, and said: "Madame still can't believe the villain, it's no wonder, this is out of the palace, no better than inside the palace, this safety is naturally vigilant, but the villain is indeed sent by the marquis, if the lady really refuses to believe it, then ask the lady to send General Yuan Hong to drive for the lady." This General Yuan Hong is strong in martial arts, and ordinary bandits are not his opponents, I don't know this, is Mrs. a lot more relieved? ”
After hearing this, Xi Fei also felt a little more real, thinking that this Yuan Hong could indeed be regarded as a first-class master, and it was naturally a lot more reassuring to have him driving for himself, and this close attendant could say such a thing, or it was really Ji Xi who sent him, or he arranged a more powerful opponent somewhere, but the two are more likely than the former, and he is hated again, but he is just a lady, how can he let people arrange such a powerful enemy, just to take his own life.
Thinking about it like this, I was relieved, and then smiled indifferently, and replied to the attendant: "Since it is the order of the Hou Ye, the palace will go with you, but this General Yuan Hong is busy, so I won't bother him, please lead the way!" ”
The carriage jolted, and Xifei and Otomu sat in it with their bodies shaking. After driving for almost half an hour, the two of them felt that the trend of the carriage was an upward trend, and they didn't know where it had gone.
It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and the attendant outside the curtain said, "Madam, it's here, please come down, the marquis is waiting inside!" ”
Yin Meng jumped out of the carriage first, looked around, and after confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, he said to Xi Fei in the car: "Madam, get out of the car!" ”
Xi Fei got out of the carriage with the help of Yin Meng, looked at the surrounding environment, everything was very ordinary, some ordinary trees, a simple bamboo house, and didn't understand what it meant for Ji Xi to bring herself here.
The attendant was about to leave, and before leaving, he said to Xi Fei: "Madame, hurry up and go in, Master Hou has been waiting inside for a long time." Then he turned to Yinmeng and said, "Yinmeng girl, let's go look elsewhere, it's boring to wait here, how about it?" ”
How could Yin Meng not understand that this was to separate himself from Xi Fei, how could he let him succeed, Li Se refused: "No, I feel pretty good here, and I don't want to move around." ”
Xi Fei was a little curious about what Ji Xi had prepared for her inside, and she was a little anxious in her heart for a moment, knowing that Ji Xi didn't want anyone to interfere, so she complied: "Yin Meng, you can go!" ”
When his wife said this, Yin Meng had no way to refuse, but he still didn't feel at ease, and after hesitating again and again, he still ran to Xi Fei's side, took out a short knife from his body, hid it in his sleeve and disappeared, and instructed: "Madam, this short knife is for you, I won't go far nearby, once you encounter danger, you must call me immediately, I will definitely come." ”
Looking at Yin Meng's uneasy look, a warm current rose in Xi Fei's heart, and she sighed with a smile: "Okay, I know." ”
"Definitely!"
"Got it!" Xi Fei replied with a smile, while walking towards the bamboo house, a burst of green fragrance came, vaguely familiar, gently stretched out her hand to push open the door of the bamboo house, and what caught her eye was a piece of pink, peach trees all over the yard, all in full bloom.
