Chapter 349: Shooting and Killing (Plus Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Liu is her mother-in-law, and her mother's family goes back five generations...... It's all blank......
Yingsleeve only glanced at it, and there was no disrespect, and he felt that Xie Dongli didn't care about the family, when he was still the daughter of an imperial businessman, he was willing to marry himself, this kind of temperament should be the same as his father, right?
Thinking about it like this, Yingsleeve was even happier with this mother-in-law.
Xie Dongli came out of the small room, saw Yingsleeve with her eyes closed, her hands clasped together, and silently prayed to her mother's tablet, so he stood aside with his hands behind his back and looked at her quietly.
When she finished praying, she opened her eyes and offered incense, and then stepped forward to take a stick of incense with her, "Let's go." Xie Dongli stretched out his hand from under the big curtain and shook the hand of Yingsleeve.
In addition to lighting incense, there is no brazier in the ancestral hall, and there is no earth dragon and fire wall, so it is very cold here.
The stove with her sleeves was also placed in the main hall where she had just confessed her relatives, and her hands were as cold as ice cubes.
Xie Dongli held her hands in his palms.
His hands were warm and dry, and his palms were like fire.
Yingsleeve's hand quickly warmed up.
"I'm much warmer." Yingsleeve looked embarrassedly at the maid around her who lowered her head, and glanced at Xie Dongli with disgust.
Xie Dongli has always been as cold as ice and snow in front of outsiders, and even a little harsh, which is very different from the appearance in front of Yingsleeve.
His gaze turned around, then he let go of his hand and glanced at Ah Shun.
Ah Shun hurriedly sent the oil-paper umbrella in his hand over.
Xie Dongli opened the oil-paper umbrella, held the umbrella in one hand, and held the hand of Yingsleeve in the other, and took her out of the ancestral hall. I went back to the yard of my new house.
The confession and temple meeting are completed, and the rest of the time is their own.
The two returned to the burning dragon. There is also a wall in the warm pavilion with a wall of fire.
Yingsleeve took a deep breath, and the whole person came to life, blood rushing on his body, just like a freshly thawed glacier, even tingling.
The cold is a terrible thing that can take away a person's vitality little by little.
"Make Madame a bowl of hot almond tea to warm her stomach." Cai Sang followed in to help Yingsleeve take off her big hat, and at the same time ordered someone to make food for her.
Yingsleeve looked at Xie Dongli. Remembering that he didn't like to eat sweet things, he said to Cai Sang: "Hot two beef scallion pancakes, and add a bowl of hot cheese." ”
Xie Dongli smiled and nodded at her. "Thank you, ma'am."
Cai Sang took the big coat and put it up, and quietly retreated.
Not long after, she walked in with a food box and placed it on a small rectangular corset table in front of the beauty under the window of the warm pavilion.
Open the food box. Take out a steaming bowl of almond tea from inside. The hot crisp cheese side by side with the almond tea, because Xie Dongli doesn't like to eat sweet, put a little salt in this crisp cheese, and a plate of small and exquisite beef scallion pancakes, which is only the size of a three or four-year-old child's palm.
Yingsleeve and Xie Dongli sat opposite each other and ate snacks.
A bowl of steaming almond tea went down to his stomach, his sleeves were so comfortable that he didn't want to move, so he turned around and nested on the beauty's lean, and set up a fox skin blanket. said to Xie Dongli: "I'm sleepy, let me rest for a while." ”
Xie Dongli said: "I'm also sleepy. Let's take a break. So saying, he picked her up and went to the bedroom.
Walking all the way, measuring her waist with his hands all the way, he whispered: "...... It's too thin, you need to eat more......"
Yingsleeve was drunk last night, and she still has a hangover today, just now she was forced to recognize her relatives and see her temple, and now that it is all done, she relaxes, her headache seems to crack, and her eyes can't be opened.
After a while, when Caisang came to clean up his things, he found that there was no one in the warm pavilion.
The hollow gilt incense burner on the corner of the house rises in the incense burner, adding a touch of freshness to the warm room.
There was a pot of daffodils on the windowsill before the shoots were drawn.
The beauty under the window was a little messy, and there were two empty bowls, an empty plate, and the food box she had put down earlier on the rectangular girdle in front of the beauty.
Cai Sang hurriedly went to clean up the table, and asked someone to come in to clean up the beauty, she walked to the corner of the house, lifted the lid of the incense burner, grabbed a handful of agarwood incense and sprinkled it in, and then went out backwards.
Ying Sleeve and Xie Dongli were already asleep in the bedroom inside.
Both were extremely tired.
Xie Dongli looked at this rare weather, it was his first taste, and he was eager to try, but seeing that the blue and black under Yingsleeve's eyes came out, he withdrew his hand again, and only fell asleep with Yingsleeve in his arms.
As a result, the two slept until dawn the next day.
Cai Sang and Cai Yun came to see it several times, and saw that there was no movement in the bedroom, so they had to stay outside the door and take a nap with their clothes closed.
Xie Dongli was the one who woke up first.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he realized that the snow outside should have stopped, the clouds were dissipating, and he couldn't be so close to Yingsleeve anymore, so he hurriedly let go of Yingsleeve, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Yingsleeve grunted, wrapped in the quilt and rolled into the bed.
Xie Dongli walked to the window, opened the curtain and took a look, and found that the snow had indeed stopped, and the yard was covered in silver, and the rising morning sun shone on the snowdrifts, which was almost dazzling.
Xie Dongli pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and called out to the door, "Prepare hot water." ”
The maid outside the door had already prepared, but she listened to his command and hurriedly brought in the hot water.
Yingsleeve noticed that Xie Dongli got up, she thought it was still night, opened the curtain and looked at it, frowned and said, "What time is it?" Do you want to set dinner? ”
Cai Sang laughed, came over and curtsied, and said, "Madam, it's the second day of November, and you want to go back to your uncle today......"
"Huh? It's already daylight?! Yingsleeve pounded her head in annoyance, "Why have I slept for so long?" She hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Cai Sang brought her water out to clean her face first, and then went in to bathe.
The bath room was very large, there were three bath buckets, one each for Yingshou and Xie Dongli, but when she went in, Xie Dongli had already washed out.
Ying Sleeve quickly came out of the shower, hurriedly ate breakfast, and went back to the house of the Lady of Zhongzhenguo with the return gift that had been prepared long ago.
Because the heavy snow only stopped early in the morning, many places on the street have not been cleared, and the big cars cannot go at all.
Xie Dongli abandoned the car and rode a horse. Let Yingsleeve sit in the sedan chair, find four strong guards to carry the sedan chair, and eight maids and women to bring back to the door. Go back with them.
Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei waited at home, waiting for Yingsleeve to return to the door.
Xiao Lei stayed in the gatehouse of the gate, looking at the situation outside.
Little Meow also ran out and played in the snow, its black and smooth fur shining in the sunlight against the snow, very conspicuous.
"Little Wangye, the eldest aunt and the eldest aunt are back!" A man who was waiting for news on the street, sweating profusely, ran back to report back.
In order to make the sleeve return to the door smooth. Shen Yongjie ordered someone to clear the snow on the street early in the morning, and it was necessary to sweep the road in front of the door out of a passage.
As soon as Yingsleeve and his group turned onto this street, it was much easier. You don't have to walk very hard like you do on other streets, one foot deeper, one foot shallow.
The swept snowdrifts are on both sides of the street. It was so high that it became a snow-capped mountain.
Xie Dongli's ears moved. Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, he raised his hand on his horse, "Stop." ”
Everyone looked at each other.
Ah Shun came over and asked, "Fifth Master, there is the Lady of Zhongzhenguo's Mansion not far ahead, why did you stop?" ”
Xie Dongli's eyes looked at the scenery in front of him.
From the swept streets, to the high snowdrifts on both sides of the streets, the eyes finally stop at the snowdrifts.
"Whew......" Xiao Meow suddenly came from not far away and rushed towards Xie Dongli.
But after running this way. It didn't pounce on Xie Dongli, but swooped down on a tall snowdrift on the side of the street.
I saw the little meow constantly biting and digging on the snowdrift. Splash snow everywhere.
"Little Meow, what's wrong? Crazy or stupid? Ying Sleeve heard the movement outside, and also opened the curtain to look.
Seeing that Little Meow was about to throw the snowdrift out of a hole, a man who was so white that he was almost indistinguishable from the snowdrift jumped out of the hole, holding a scimitar in his hand, and flew towards the sedan chair with sleeves!
Before he could land, Xie Donglian's guards had already bent their bows and arrows, and shot an arrow over.
The man in white was hit by an arrow in mid-air, immediately fell down, screamed, rolled on the ground a few times, and then convulsed.
The screams of the men in white were like a signal to attack in advance, and the tall snowdrifts on both sides of the street suddenly moved.
Whew!
A group of white-clothed people rushed out of those big snowdrifts, with bows and arrows in hand, and shot at Xie Dongli and the people in the sedan chair!
"Iron Wall!" Xie Dongli's guards shouted, and each of them drew a shield from the belly of the horse, instantly surrounding Xie Dongli and the sedan chair.
They swung their swords and swept away all the arrows.
Archery was just the first wave of attacks.
Immediately after a round of shooting, the men threw away their bows and arrows, swung their long knives, and swooped down on them.
The group of white-clothed people were covered with white scarves and divided into two groups, one group of people attacked around Xie Donglian's side, and the other group rushed towards the sedan chair where Yingzhi was sitting.
Yingsleeve hurriedly put down the sedan curtain and sat back in the sedan chair, she felt strange when she saw Xiao Meow shaving snow, and when she saw the white-clothed man who pounced on her sedan chair, she knew that she was in ambush.
It's a pity that in broad daylight, she couldn't directly use the silver lightsaber, so she had to pick up a crossbow that Xie Dongli specially put in the sedan chair for her, and slowly raised it in the direction of the door curtain of the sedan chair.
Swish!
The curtain of the car was lifted.
A man in white glared at Ying Sleeves, but found that he was not facing a frightened weak woman, but a black crossbow!
Ying Sleeve saw that it was a man in white, and immediately pulled the trigger.
Sou!
A blue-arrowed crossbow shot the man in the throat!
The man screamed and collapsed in front of the palanquin.
Another man in white rushed over, and Yingsleeve pulled the trigger again.
Master had taught her to use a crossbow before, but she had only practiced it, and today was the first time she had used it in actual combat.
She was not unfamiliar at all, she was shooting at those moving targets, and her crossbow arrows were fast and accurate, like deadly arrows, and she quickly killed seven or eight white-clothed men who tried to hold her hostage.
The remaining four or five men in white saw that the situation was not good, and they were about to flee.
"Catch them!" Xie Dongli commanded loudly.
Dozens of guards suddenly appeared from the rooftops of the houses on both sides of the street, blocking the way of these white-clothed people!
