Somehow, although Xie Dongli didn't say a word, her cold and bleak posture and eyes that seemed to be perceptive saw that Situ Ying's sleeves were under great pressure, and beads of sweat were dripping down her forehead, and she actually had an inexplicable sense of guilt for being a thief and being caught......

It's weird.

Situ Yingsleeves hurriedly retracted into the car, pretending not to see Xie Dongli.

But her father, Situ Jianren, poked out in the car behind him and greeted loudly: "Fifth Master Xie, where did you come back from?" ”

Situ Yingsleeve remembered that he had just seen Xie Dongli carrying a sheepskin water bag on his saddle, and it seemed that he had just returned to Beijing from other places, which was similar to their situation.

Xie Dongli bowed his head slightly to Situ Jianren, which was regarded as a greeting, and then tightened the reins with one hand, whipped back and whipped violently, and reprimanded in a low voice, "Drive!" "Drive the horse away.

His servant Ah Shun rode forward behind him and said to Situ Jianren: "Our son has just returned from Xingzhou. How many of them are also far away? ”

Situ Jianren smiled and nodded, "We just came back from Leizhou. Hehe......"

"It's the New Year, and I'm very busy. The little one doesn't bother Master Situ, Miss Situ. Ah Shun smiled and stepped aside, letting the Situ family's cart pass first.

Situ Yingsleeve said loudly: "You go first." Your master is angry, why don't you catch up quickly? ”

Ah Shun glanced at Situ Yingsleeve and said with a smile: "That little one is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." So saying, he whipped the horse's ass hard and chased it forward.

"Let's go, too." Situ Ying sat back in his seat sullenly, no longer looking at the bustle outside the car window.

……

"Madam, second miss, the master, the eldest lady, and the eldest young master are back." The mother-in-law on the second door happily came to the room to return.

Zhang got up with a smile and said, "I'm finally back, but I'm worried to death." As he spoke, he took Situ Dark Xiang to pick them up at the second gate.

"Master, Yingsleeve, Xiao Lei, you are back!" Zhang stepped forward, smiling all over his face.

"Dad, sister, Xiao Lei, you are finally back, I am not interesting alone. Don't leave me alone next time. Situ Darkincense squeezed forward, took Situ Ying's sleeve's hand and said coquettishly.

Situ Jianren smiled and took out a purse and handed it to Situ Dark Xiang, "Dark Fragrance, take it." Dad has been out for a long time this time, thanks to you remembering Dad, what a filial child. Saying that, he walked two steps quickly, came to Zhang's side, held Zhang's arm, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't be polite, let's go in and talk." He added: "It's so cold, why don't you wear the silver fox I bought for you last time?" ”

"It's at home, a few steps away, no silver fox. I just got my squirrel cloak on, and I love it. Zhang said softly, and Situ Jianren turned around and walked onto the verandah.

Situ Dianxiang, Situ Yingsleeve, and Situ Chenlei followed behind, talking and laughing all the way, and said, "...... Sister, what my father gave me, I will share it equally with my sister and Xiaolei when I go back. If you have mine, you will have my sister and Xiaolei! ”

Situ Yingsleeve smiled slightly, and said gently: "No need, you can keep it for yourself." Xiao Lei and I have already had it, and this is left for you. ”

"Oh." Situ Dianxiang was even happier and said, "It's really good." Dad should love my sister and Xiaolei more. ”

"They are all descendants of the Situ family tree, so you don't have to be arrogant." Because of the sisterhood of ten years in her previous life, Situ Yingsleeve has always cherished Situ Darkincense.

Back in the upper room of the main courtyard of the inner courtyard, Situ Jianren went to the bath room to wash up first.

Zhang was talking to Situ Yingsleeve outside.

"Yingsleeve, did you save two fathers and daughters surnamed Zhao on the way to Leizhou?" Zhang's ordered someone to serve tea on Situ Ying's sleeve, and asked Situ Darkincense to accompany Situ Chenlei to eat snacks.

Situ Yingsleeve took the tea and said with a smile: "I saved two people, I forgot what their surnames were." I can't remember what it took to do it. By the way, I'm hungry too, can you give me a little bit of my mother's snacks? ”

"Didn't you say it earlier, kid?" Zhang said angrily, "Let's go, let's eat with Dark Xiang and Xiao Lei." ”

Shaoqing dim sum was served, Situ Yingsleeve tasted it first, and then took two pastries and put them on Xiao Lei's plate, while saying casually: "Xiao Lei, other pastries are too sweet, not good for your teeth, don't eat them." Just eat what my sister gave you, okay? ”

Situ Chenlei pursed his lips and objected, and then ate all the snacks on the table one by one before pushing away the plate and going off the table to play with Xiao Meow.

Situ Yingsleeve was surprised, her face didn't show it at all, and she said with a smile: "Mother, Xiao Lei is becoming more and more disobedient. ”

"He's different from other children, you have to bear more." Zhang Shi was not angry at all, and said with a smile, "By the way, the father and daughter you saved last time, do you know whose relatives they are?" ”

"Who?" Situ Yingsleeve was a little curious, "Could it be someone we know?" ”

If he didn't know him, Zhang wouldn't have said it in this tone.

Zhang nodded, "That's exactly what I know." It's the Xie family, the Xie family who just won the champion. ”

"Is it their house?" Situ Ying's eyebrows raised high, "Such a coincidence?!" How do you know? ”

"It's a long story, they came to the capital to join their relatives and found our doorstep. Who knew that the Xie family had already moved to Xicheng. As a result, your sister and I were going to the Great Compassion Temple to offer incense, and your sister was soft-hearted, and when she heard Ma Pozi and Xu Pozi say that you had saved them, she took the father and daughter to the house for treatment, and later learned that they were relatives of the Xie family. The Zhang family told the story, and pushed the merit of accepting the father and daughter into the mansion to Situ Darkxiang.

The news that Ma Pozi and Xu Pozi returned to Situ Mansion alive, Situ Yingsleeve had already learned from the letter written by Zhang to Situ Jianren.

Of course, it was not she who read the letter directly, but Situ Jianren told the treasurer Lu Da about the content of the letter, and the shopkeeper Lu told Situ Yingsleeve about the matter.

"Oh, I mean, it's so coincidental." Situ Yingsleeve nodded, "What about them?" ”

"The Xie family has already sent someone to pick it up." Zhang sighed, "It turns out that they are the cousins of the three brothers of the Xie family. That Zhao's father's wife is the sister-in-law of the former Prime Minister Xie Dacheng. Alas, how beautiful was she when she got married? Although I was in the countryside of Jiangnan at that time, I had also heard of Miss Xie's ten-mile red makeup. ”

"Oh?" Situ Ying's sleeves frowned slightly, "...... Is it the Xingzhou Zhao family? ”

In her last life, she had not heard about the Zhao family in Xingzhou.

She only knew from her grandfather that Xie Dongli had spent a lot of effort to investigate and punish the crimes of those officials in Xingzhou who deliberately deceived their superiors and subordinates, not only to uncover the shady curtain of Xingzhou's great water, but also to lay a solid foundation for him to take over the appointment of Situ Yingsleeve's grandfather and become a great prime minister.

It turns out that among them, there is also Xie Dongli's aunt's family who has made great efforts?

"yes. The Xingzhou Zhao family is also a big family, but I heard that they are almost dead, and only the father and daughter escaped. Zhang sighed, "It's really miserable." ”

Situ Ying's sleeves trembled in her heart, and she hurriedly held Zhang's hand and comforted her: "This father and daughter are also considered to be blessed people, and mother doesn't have to be sad." ”

……

In the inner courtyard of the Xie family, there was also jubilation at this time.

"Fifth Uncle is back!"

"Tori is back!"

The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Xie family, the second brother and sister-in-law, and several nephews and nieces all rushed up to greet Xie Donglian.

Xie Dongli took a step back, "...... What do you guys do here? I didn't bring a gift this time. ”

"Fifth Uncle said this, we are so sad...... Whining...... Woo woo...... "The children of the eldest brother and the second brother of the Xie family began to play treasure and amuse.

Xie Dongli showed a faint smile on his lips, nodded and said, "Have you memorized all the books?" Did you write a few of the essays I wrote before I left last time? ”

"Huh?" Several children looked at each other, turned around and shouted, "...... Let's go write it! With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

"It's still the fifth brother. With so many children clamoring, my head was growing twice, but I couldn't get rid of them. Xie Dongming, the second master of the Xie family, said with a smile, and came in to sit down and talk together.

The eldest Xie Dongyi and his wife Lu Ruilan sat at the top, the second Xie Dongming and his wife Ning Shumei sat at the bottom, and Xie Dongli sat opposite the second husband and wife.

The maid rushed in with a teacup and served them tea.

Lu Ruilan took a sip of tea and said to Xie Dongli: "How is the situation in Xingzhou?" ”

Xie Dongli held the tea cup, and his thoughts flew to the front of the Zhao family's mansion in Xingzhou......

He remembered standing in front of the muddy hillside, unable to believe his eyes.

“…… Is this really the Zhao family's mansion? ”

"Childe, if you don't believe it, go to the county master of the state and the county to come and ask to see if this is the Zhao family's mansion. A lot of people from these four towns and five neighbors died, but no one died more than the people of the Zhao family. Others were hit by floods, they were flooded with landslides, and they were all buried at once. It's miserable......" the man said with a sigh as he patted his thigh.

The former mansion of the Zhao family was praised for its good feng shui, and it was a good place to make money and gather energy.

Unexpectedly, the heavy rain that has not been encountered in a hundred years poured down, and this feng shui took turns. In the torrential rain, the mountain behind the house was washed away, and a mud and sand flow caused half of the mountain to collapse, pressing the house tightly.

“…… All at once buried? Did anyone run out then? ”

"I don't know. I heard that there is. A few Zhao family members seemed to go out to eat and drink, but they were not at home, so they escaped. ”

Thinking back to what he saw and what he heard, Xie Dongli's mood was a little heavy, and he said slowly: "...... The Zhao family in Xingzhou is indeed gone. Not only encountered the Xingzhou flood, but also the mudslide of the landslide, the Zhao family entered the mansion seven times, and the east and west sides of the seven courtyards, none of which were spared. ”

"Huh?! It's really gone! Xie Dongyi shouted, his eyes turned red again, "That means that I don't even have the opportunity to hold a funeral for my aunt and repair the grave?" ”

The Zhao family's mansion is now a big tomb, what other grave is needed?

Xie Dongli shook his head, "Big brother, you should mourn and change." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming choked up and couldn't talk to themselves.

Xie Dongli sat quietly for a while before getting up and said, "I also want to report back to the prime minister about Xingzhou." ”

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw a father and daughter walking around the shadow wall and towards the steps of the cloister.

Xie Dongli retreated to the pillars of the cloister and made way for the door to open the door.

"This is the East Fence?" The older man stopped, saw the handsome, noble, elegant and indifferent tall young man next to the pillar, and asked tentatively.

Xie Dongli nodded and smiled: "You are my aunt's husband?" ”

The man nodded, it was Zhao Junxing, "When we came, I heard that you went out, and we only saw you today." ”

As soon as Zhao Jinqi, who was behind Zhao Junxing, saw Xie Dongli, his beautiful eyes flashed slightly.

She stood beside Zhao Junxing and blessed her, "Fifth cousin." Congratulations to the fifth cousin for his victory and winning the championship. ”

Xie Dongli smiled, "Thank you, cousin." After a pause, he looked at Zhao Jinqi's begonia red sleeve brocade jacket, yellow and clear red gold luan bird hairpin, and red garnet neck, and said quietly: "Cousin, it's been less than a month since my aunt died, right?" ”

Zhao Jinqi nodded, "Not in mid-November, and it's only a few days to a month now." ”

Lu Ruilan heard it, walked out of the house, also glanced at Zhao Jinqi, and said with a smile: "Cousin, didn't the subordinates prepare plain clothes for you?" ”

How can there be a biological daughter who has not married for less than a month after her mother died?

If it was in the Zhao family, she would definitely be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

But their father and daughter ran out of Xingzhou to join their relatives, and they almost didn't have any money for food, and they lived in the Xie family to join relatives to fight the autumn breeze, where is the money to buy plain clothes?

If there is a mistake, most people will think that the Xie family is not taking good care of it, right?

Zhao Jinqi understood what Xie Dongli meant by asking her about the day of her mother's death, and after listening to Lu Ruilan's words, her face turned even redder, and she hesitated for a while, and said, "...... The eldest cousin-in-law, who was sent in plain clothes. It's just that I thought about seeing my fifth cousin for the first time, and it was unlucky to wear plain clothes, so I changed into auspicious clothes. As he spoke, he looked up at Xie Dongli and said, "The fifth cousin has just won the champion, and I can't touch the fifth cousin's moldy head." ”

“…… Obeying filial piety is a virtue of our Zhongzhou people, how can you think of touching the mold? Xie Dongli said coldly, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Zhao Jinqi burst into tears all of a sudden, grabbed her father Zhao Junxing's sleeve and bowed her head silently.

Of course, Lu Ruilan was on Xie Dongli's side, and Zhao Jinqi's father and daughter were not wearing plain clothes, so she was also a little uncomfortable, and said with a light smile: "The fifth brother is this temper. Uncle and little cousin don't be surprised. ”

"No, no." Zhao Junxing hurriedly said, "It's because we didn't think it through, so let's go back and change!" Let's go back and change! As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Jinqi and turned around and left, without even entering the door.

……

As soon as Xie Dongli left the Xie family, a few eunuchs came to the palace and said to the Xie family: "Where is Xie Zhuangyuan?" The queen summoned him to the palace to speak. ”

"Our fifth brother has just gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion, please wait a while, and I will send someone to call him back." Xie Dongyi hurriedly said, went out to ride a horse in person, and went to Shen Xiang's mansion.

In the queen's Changchun Palace, several people from the Zhang family's family were talking in front of her.

"Queen, do you think this is appropriate?"

"It's fine. This palace came forward to say that it would be a favor for Xie Dongli to accept your Zhang family. Queen Qi Xueyun said with a smile.

She is in her forties, but she looks like she is only in her early thirties, her eyes are condensed in autumn water, her eyebrows are smoky, and she easily holds the bright yellow brocade phoenix on her body and is about to fly, revealing the sable lining inside, which is indescribably extravagant.
