Chapter 109: Adjusting the Tiger
Chapter 109 Tune the Tiger
That's right, Cheng nodded.
The wait in the dark night is always very slow, Xie Ke leaned on Cheng's shoulder with a tired face, surrounded by several maids, the maids were surrounded by a circle of curtains, and outside the curtains were damaged carriages and guards.
The girls are naturally tired, and they rely on each other in groups of three.
Soon there was silence all around, with only the occasional neighing of horses or two.
At this moment, there was a sudden chaos on the periphery. Subsequently, there were reports of guards outside the mantle. "Miss, there was a sudden fire in a carriage, and the car was filled with a noble gift from Master Kong to the fourth master, and the fire was very urgent, and it was too late to put it out."
Cheng almost jumped when he heard this. "How so? The box, the box...... Sister, how is this good? "There's a guy in that box. Even if you don't like that young man, it's also a life. What's more, with the young man for the past two days, feeding water and food, Cheng felt that the young man was not a bad person.
“…… However, it seems that my father has no chance of this gift. There is no need to save it anymore, stay away from the fire, and your life is at stake. Xie Ke replied, and the guards seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and took the order to retreat.
"Sister, how can you not save it? Maybe ......," Cheng wanted to say, maybe the boy wasn't dead yet.
Just facing Xie Ke's calm gaze, Cheng's flustered heart suddenly cooled, the sister is not ruthless, could it be that the young sister has made other arrangements.
"It turns out that my sister has arranged everything." Cheng suddenly changed his words and whispered. Xie Ke nodded vaguely. Only then did Cheng relax and bend down again so that Xie Ke could lean on.
It turned out that my sister had arranged it early in the morning.
It really scared her, she really thought that the boy was still in the box at this time? But when did the sister arrange it, and how did she arrange the young man.
Cheng had the heart to ask, but Xie Ke had already closed his eyes at this time.
About an hour later, the carriage that came to pick up Xie Ke finally arrived, and Cheng helped Xie Ke to get into the car, and this time, the carriage entered the city very smoothly.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, but there were already people waiting outside the Xie family's door, and Cheng couldn't help but let out a soft cry when he saw the person waiting.
"Sister, it's the fourth master."
Xie Ke picked up the curtain and looked over, only to see Xie Nian standing by the door with his hands in his hands, and when he saw the carriage, he stepped forward and lifted the curtain in a few steps. "Sister Bao, but what happened?" There was a knock on his door late at night, and Cheng Shancai reported back, saying that Sister Bao returned home overnight, but there were problems with the carriage one after another. At this time, the horse house had sent another car to greet him, Xie Nian couldn't help but get up in a hurry, he wanted to meet his daughter in person, but the carriage had left, and he had to wait anxiously outside the door.
Finally saw the carriage return.
In the car, my daughter was fine, and there was nothing unusual. "Isn't the fourth master sick? At night, my sister received news that the fourth master was seriously ill and lying in Chuang, and my sister was in a hurry, so she rushed back to Xie's overnight. Could it be ...... Is this news fake? Cheng exclaimed.
Xie Nian wrinkled his eyebrows, and Cheng Shancai on the side took the letter handed by Cheng and looked at it.
Then said. "The handwriting is very similar, no wonder my sister can't tell the difference."
Xie Nian's brows furrowed tightly, and he really couldn't figure out who would imitate Cheng Shancai's handwriting and send such news to his daughter. But fortunately, my daughter returned home safely, and the rest will be investigated slowly. "No matter what, it's good to come back safely, hurry up and help the young lady back to the yard, don't alarm others." Xie Nian commanded.
Cheng nodded, and Shui Qing stepped forward and helped Xie Ke walk into the door.
Xie Ke returned to his courtyard, and the eastern sky had already emitted a faint white light, and Cheng served Xie Ke to sleep.
Then he got up and went out of the courtyard......
She is not stupid, although her sister didn't say some things, she also guessed a few points. I'm afraid this letter has something to do with the young man's escape. That is to say, you must not let the fourth master track it down, if you are tired of your sister's reputation, it will be ruined. The more Cheng thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he hurriedly went to find Cheng Shancai.
At this time, Xie Nian held the letter in his hand that imitated Cheng Shancai's handwriting.
The person who wrote the letter seemed to be quite resilient. He was a little hesitant to put down the first few words, but the latter words were done in one go. The so-called words are like their people...... But what did this man mean by writing such a letter?
Even Sister Bao read this letter, and she may not set off immediately.
No, Cheng told her that his wife was like this at the beginning, but she was infected with the cold, but she didn't want to live day by day, and eventually died soon.
No wonder...... This letter fell into the hands of Sister Bao'er, she naturally thought of her mother, and then confused her mind, don't look at Sister Bao'er on weekdays to be calm, but such a thing, how can she be calm, after all, she is only a thirteen-year-old girl.
Could it be that the person who wrote this letter expected that Sister Bao would leave at night? On the way, Sister Bao'er's carriage was damaged several times, I'm afraid it was not an accident...... It's just that what is the purpose of that person, Sister Bao returned home safely, and the Xie family only lost a few carriages, which is really a trivial matter.
At this time, Cheng Shancai knocked on the door and entered.
Xie Nian beckoned. "The more I look at this letter, the more I feel that it is different, and the other party's arrangement must have a purpose. Could it be that the other party is coming for the Xie family...... It's just that she doesn't seem to be embarrassed by Sister Bao. ”
Cheng Shancai couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart when he heard this.
The fourth master regards Sister Bao as more important than his own life. If something happens to Sister Bao'er, I'm afraid the fourth master will go crazy...... Do you want to tell the fourth master about the things in the temple?
Cheng told Cheng Shancai what happened in the temple, and naturally, what Cheng said was general and concealed.
She only said that she begged Sister Bao to save someone, and the person never woke up...... So it has nothing to do with the issue of sister's name. My sister suddenly received such a letter and came back suddenly, perhaps it had something to do with the person she saved.
As for who that person was, Cheng only said that he didn't know.
She didn't want Cheng Shancai to misunderstand that Fourth Master Chu's subordinates had ulterior motives. After all, Xie Ke has been in the Chu family for seven years, and he has been taken care of by Fourth Master Chu, and last time the old lady made it difficult, it was Fourth Master Chu who helped him.
After hearing this, Cheng Shancai felt that this matter was a little risky, but he thought that it was in vain.
Even if the fourth master is here, he will definitely respond.
I didn't think much about it. I thought that I would go back to Xie Nian...... But at this time, Cheng Shancai felt that it was better not to say anything.
Sister Bao is bold and careful, but the fourth master is soft-faced and rough-hearted. If the fourth master shows his feet, it will affect his sister. “…… Thinking about it, maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to encircle or get close to the Xie family, but the sister brought too many guards, and the other party had no chance after all. Cheng Shancai replied.
Xie Nian lowered his head and thought about it.
"Your guess is ...... In the past few years, His Majesty ~ has been injured from time to time. The prince has a soft personality. Several princes were restless. It's just that Jian'an is a few hundred miles away from the capital...... How could someone even hit Xie Shi with his idea? ”
“…… Don't forget about the flower feast. Perhaps, it is unknown whether the news has reached the capital. ”
As soon as Cheng Shancai reminded him, Xie Nian suddenly woke up. Yes, there is also this matter, my daughter has a lot of property in her hands, and there is a lot of silver in these every year......
Even he felt that the silver was enough to make people red, not to mention those who had empty titles but short of silver.
In the past, he also felt that the gift from the Chu family was a generous gift, which could allow his daughter to live in peace. But at this time...... How good is that? Could it be that the shop was returned to the Chu family with great fanfare? is to return the shop to the Chu family, but most of the Xie family's family business is still Sister Bao'er's after all.
Xie Nian finally felt that Chu Ye's words a few years ago that he had more money were not all right.
Since the Chu family also has a kind of 'merit' in this matter, should he seek Chu Ye to discuss.
Xie hesitated......
***
Xie Ke quietly returned to the house, and it was not until noon on the second day that the news of Xie Ke's return last night spread in the Xie family. The explanation given by Xie Nian is that the return to the house at this time was calculated by Master Kong.
This is beneficial to the Hsieh.
As soon as the name of Master Likong came out, who would dare to question it.
Even Old Madam Xie also felt that since it was arranged by Master Kong, there was really nothing to be picky about. What's more, when Sister Bao came back yesterday, she had already slept peacefully.
As for the fault of not coming to greet her early this morning, Xie Nian was burdened by himself.
Seeing her son protecting her granddaughter like this, Mrs. Xie felt a little unhappy in her heart, but she could only hold on.
Seeing this, Mama Cheng couldn't help but say softly. "Sister Bao is coming back soon, and the old lady will set up a banquet in the evening, so as to introduce Sister Bao to the Jiang girl."
Mrs. Xie nodded, thinking that Mama Cheng had a good idea.
These days, I have been accompanied by Sister Yun, but Sister Yun'er is too ordinary in terms of temperament and appearance. Standing with the little girl in her mother's family, it was a bit embarrassing for the Xie family...... is her own mother's family, and she is also a married aunt after all. If you let your nephew go back to meet people, it is quite embarrassing to say how the Xie daughter can't hold up on the stage.
Fortunately, Sister Bao is back.
That is the case, naturally let the mother's family meet Sister Bao.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Old Mrs. Xie had to admit that standing with Sister Bao, the girl of the Jiang family was really lost. When the news arrived in Xie Ke's courtyard, there was only one hour before the banquet. Cheng was a little resentful......
"Why did you send the news at this time? My sister still has to dress up, how can I get there? ”
Cheng couldn't help but complain. Xie Ke didn't have a displeased expression, she went to Dafuze Temple, and made it clear that she was hiding from the Jiang family.
Now that she is back, the old lady naturally has to take the opportunity to 'discipline' her, but she is only two hours late to inform her to go to the banquet. It's really ...... It's a big punishment for a small punishment.
Shui Qing and Shui Qing hurriedly served Xie Ke to bathe and change clothes.
Until it was time to wear what to wear, but I was embarrassed......
The girl of the Jiang family is a guest, and the girl of her own family is the master. It stands to reason that the master should not have pressed the guests to go. But no one in the courtyard has ever seen the girl of the Jiang family, I don't know what kind of dress the girl is used to on weekdays, does she like to be more elegant, or is it more expensive?
My sister is dressed elegantly, if the girl also likes to dress up elegantly.
With my sister's appearance...... Wouldn't it be called a deception? (To be continued.) )
