Chapter 36: Return to Jiankang
85_85797 Xie Lang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Seeing the big boat raising its sails, on one side, Ji Ji paced a few steps around Xie Lang, and said to herself: "Thousands of river bandits, they must have come out of the nest." ”
Speaking of this, Ji Ji quietly glanced at Xie Lang.
Unbeknownst to him, the guy was unhurriedly adjusting the strings, his movements were elegant, and his eyebrows were so tranquil, as if the killing just now with less won more had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that the ship was starting to sail, Ji Ji was even more anxious, so she turned to Xie Lang, and after bowing deeply to him, she asked politely: "Eighteen Lang, I don't know what the phrase "Heaven and Buddha take, but suffer from it" means? ”
Ji Ji looked at Xie Lang for a moment, waiting for his answer.
However, Xie Shibai, who is famous for his intelligence, was extremely stupid, and he didn't understand what she was prompting at all. Instead, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and after lazily taking a sip of the warm wine handed over by the servant, he replied to her: "Well, it means that if you don't want what God has given you, you will be damaged in turn." ”
Who really wants him to explain?
She is also a well-educated person, how can she not understand a word so simply?
After Ji Ji flattened her mouth, she glanced at the big boat that had already begun to move, so she said bluntly: "Xie Jialangjun, I don't know if there is a lot of gold and silver in the old den of those river bandits?" ”
She thought, she said it directly enough, right?
Xie Lang, who had been keeping his head down, put down the wine cup elegantly at this time, he turned his head to look at Ji Ji, and said with a smile: "Auntie is short of money?" How much is missing? Go talk to Xie Guang. ”
Ji looked at Xie Lang weakly for a long time, and watched him go to the bow of the boat with wide sleeves, and she took a deep breath.
Walking next to Uncle Li, Ji Ji paced around and whispered, "Uncle, I just found out today that this Xie Shibai is stupid. ”
She quietly glanced at Lang Jun, who was lying idly on the couch and lazily flipping through the books, and emphasized in a low voice: "Very stupid! ”
At this time, the big ship was already moving at full speed.
After Ji Ji complained, she still breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she returned to the cabin.
After a while, a bright blood jade bracelet appeared on Ji Ji's wrist.
I saw her wearing this blood jade bracelet, pacing next to Xie Lang like no one else, and after shining on the bracelet in the sun, Ji Ji sighed lightly and praised in a poetic tone: "Crystal clear, like blood and fire, beautiful from a distance, and blue from nearsighted...... Hey, I knew I was stupid, I should have kept a few more things to wear and play with. Of course, her last sentence was still very small.
She was still there to show off, and on one side, Xie Lang's beautiful voice like a clear spring had come soothingly, "Xie Guang." ”
Xie Guang stomped and ran over.
Xie Lang didn't raise his head, and said slowly: "According to my Da Song law, burglary, what should be the crime?" ”
Xie Guang was stunned.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to see the bracelet on Ji Ji's wrist, and exclaimed, "Huh? Isn't this the treasure of the big boss of Jingdi bandit? No wonder the last time we searched his mansion, we didn't find this bracelet, it turned out to be in the hands of Aunt Ji? Aunt Ji, Luo Datou lost so many treasures, was it stolen by you? ”
Ji Ji's face flushed.
She quickly lowered her head and quietly glanced at Xie Shibai on the side, and Ji Ji said weakly: "Your family Langjun, isn't Lang Lang a gentleman, money is like dung?" ”
Xie Guang on one side had not yet figured out the relationship between her stealing the bracelet and his family's money like dung, and on the other side, the corners of Xie Shibai's mouth could no longer help twitching.
When Guang Sleeve shook off and turned to leave, Xie Shiba's laughing voice floated in the wind, "Xie Guang, Aunt Ji has a lot of doubts about the river bandits, you can explain one or two." ”
Xie Guang hurriedly responded, he turned to Ji Ji and said, "The river bandits we met just now have a total of thirty medium-sized cargo ships, sister-in-law, have you paid attention?" Those cargo ships are all medium-sized, and since they are medium-sized, the ships can carry hundreds of people, but on each boat, there are only more than 30 river bandits, and the bows of the ships have been modified, which is conducive to rapid rudder turning. This situation shows several points: first, these river bandits are habitual bandits, and second, they travel lightly. River bandits with this characteristic generally come and go without a trace, and they are cunning rabbits, and the forces behind them are extremely large......"
Speaking of which, Ji Ji has fully understood, it turns out that Xie Shibai doesn't want those money, but he can't get it at all. He and the others were in a hurry to rush back to Jiankang, but it was not appropriate to investigate this kind of cunning rabbit nest and the habitual bandits of inexplicable forces behind them.
Just when Ji Ji figured it out and secretly hummed at Xie Lang's tricks, not far away, the fairy Xie Eighteen's breezy and moon-like voice floated with the wind, "Xie Guang, you haven't sued Aunt Ji for burglary, what should you say......
Before he finished speaking, Ji Ji had a loud ah, only to see her cover her head ** said: "I have a headache, I was dancing in the rain just now, I got cold, I also saw a lot of corpses and a lot of blood, I was shocked......" As she spoke, this little girl who was cold and frightened had slipped into the cabin like a rabbit, and then closed the door tightly, and refused to come out again.
After enduring it, Xie Lang still laughed.
Xie Guang and the others couldn't help laughing, Xie Cai glanced back at the cabin, and praised: "If it weren't for Aunt Ji who was in a hurry and suddenly danced, this trip would not have been so smooth." ”
On the side, Xie Guang also nodded and said, "Yes, I'm only thirteen or fourteen years old, such a smart sister-in-law, Jiankang can't see it." ”
Xie Lang casually put the book on the side, and after taking a sip of the wine cup, he raised his lips and smiled: "That's it, her dance can be described as a stunning shadow, extremely extraordinary." Lowering his eyebrows, Xie Lang said lightly: "I hope that there will be no wind and no waves on the road below." ”
The following voyage really gave Xie Lang a good idea, and it was smooth sailing.
In this way, half a month later, Jiankang City is already in sight.
After entering the territory of Jiankang, the big ship raised the flag of the Xie clan of Chenjun, and all the ships retreated one after another.
When the dock appeared in the field of vision, Ji Ji found that the carriages and horses on the dock were all here to greet Xie Eighteen.
At the moment when the big ship docked, suddenly, there were cheers composed of thousands of people on the pier, and these cheers, the delicate girl's voice, accounted for more than half.
As soon as Xie Lang got out of the boat, he was surrounded by the crowd that swarmed in, and saw the women screaming happily with the name of "Eighteen Lang", looking at the famous men and women, the top magnates, and also surrounded with big sleeves, Ji Xi suddenly found that Wang Sun's kind smile was just his condescension.
After the Xie family got off the boat, Ji Ji and his party also began to get off the boat.
Compared with the excitement on that side, Ji Ji's dozen or so people are too deserted.
Just when Ji Ji and the others had set up the carriage and donkey cart and the goods began to be loaded, on the other side, Xie Guang suddenly pushed away the crowd and strode over.
He came to Ji Ji, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and said, "Aunt Ji, this is from my family Langjun for you." He said that this is his token, and with it, you can go to Xie Mansion to see him anytime, anywhere. In a blink of an eye, he said with concern: "My family Langjun said that you are new to Jiankang, but I am afraid that you are not familiar with life." Aunt Ji, do you want me to help you arrange a place to live? ”
Unexpectedly, Xie Shibai really took her affairs to heart, and Ji Ji was very grateful. However, she knows very well that human favor is getting thinner and thinner, and she wants to borrow Xie Eighteen's strength when she is critical, so there is no need to be alarmed about this kind of trivial matter of finding a house.
After Ji Ji's refusal, Xie Guang turned around in shock.
Just as Xie Guang turned to leave, not far away, the chattering voices of several girls also sounded, "Who is she?" The daughter of the family? Wang's daughter? "What do you say? Don't you see the servant behind her? There is such a vulgar servant, how can its owner be a scholar girl? "No, when I inquired just now, the people around Eighteen Lang were actually very polite when they mentioned this country girl!"
So, just as Ji Ji kept arranging for the servants to load the car, behind her, a delicate voice came, "Brother Eighteen is not good like this, he, he is actually polite to any country girl." Hey, the politeness of the eighteenth brother, that is the style of the family, I am afraid, I am afraid, some people think highly of themselves because of this. ”
The voice came from behind Ji Ji, and as soon as the voice fell, there were several giggles to accompaniment. Ji Ji was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned her head.
What she saw were four women of the noble clan.
This is the first time Ji Ji has seen Jiankang's scholar girl. It really deserves to be everyone's son at the foot of the imperial city. These four women, regardless of their appearance, all of them have a kind of imperial aura that Ji Ji can never see in the Jingzhou Shi clan. Naturally, this atmosphere is not because of the heart, but because of pride.
Yes, it's just pride, in an era when the door decides a qiē, in an era when the upper and lower classes are clearly distinguished, these scholar women, almost as soon as they are born, there are groups of servants, countless poor families, kneeling by the side of the road at the sight, and their eyes are full of admiration when they look at them......
When Ji Ji faced Xie Shiba, she had never felt this kind of contempt from her bones, but when she faced them at this moment, she knew what the word disdain was like.
Yes, Xie 18 is a gentleman, a famous man with an open mind and a wise mind, he has mountains and rivers in his chest, and he can accommodate people like mountains and rivers, and these scholars and women, they are just birds in the clouds, they can't see the nothingness of their own light and thin foundation, the only thing they believe in is that they are standing in the clouds.
Naturally, Ji Ji is the plaything standing in the mud in their eyes.
Seeing Ji Ji turn her head, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old sister-in-law with a sharp face and a beautiful face, let the maid support herself, and circled around Ji Ji gracefully.
Turning around towards Ji Ji, she lightly opened her cherry lips and chuckled: "Although the appearance is bright, there are thin calluses on her hands, and she is really humble." ”
After turning her head to look at Uncle Yuehong Li and the others, she smiled again: "The manners are vulgar, the advance and retreat are inappropriate, the clothes are old, and they are really despicable!" ”
Then, she looked at Ji Ji's carriages and donkey carts, and chuckled again: "The wheels are dirty and dark, the curtains are stained, and there is no family record, it is really despicable!" ”
After saying "really despicable" three times in a row, the girl turned to her companion and said with a coquettish smile: "Three sisters, you said you wanted to come, but such a lowly thing stained my eyes." ”
Then, she turned to Ji Ji again, and said slowly: "This sister-in-law, if you were plain, just because you made me come on purpose, but you stained my eyes with dirt and stench, I could have killed you." For the sake of you and Eighteen Lang, I will let you go for the time being. Remember, my surname is Lu, my name is Lushi'er, and you have to keep in mind the kindness of the sister-in-law of the Lujia family. ”
After that, she no longer looked at Ji Ji, twisted her waist and walked away.
At this moment, whether it was Uncle Li or Sun Fu, their faces were flushed. But they can only be angry, because this is Jiankang, because this woman is the daughter of a high family!
Just as the woman turned around, and the other three scholar girls also smiled lightly and glanced at Ji Ji with disdain, a handmaiden hurriedly ran over with a few handmaidens.
When Lu Shi'er saw it, her face sank, and she shouted softly, "Walk slowly, walk steadily, what kind of system are you so flustered?" ”
But the maid was sweating profusely, and she didn't care about Lu Shi'er's reprimand, so she hurriedly asked as soon as she came up: "Fifth sister-in-law, did you move the things in a carved wooden box that the third sister-in-law put on a few places this morning?" ”
Lu Shi'er was stunned, she frowned and said, "There's nothing in there." ”
As soon as these words came out, they clearly admitted it.
At that moment, the servant woman fell to the ground and collapsed to the ground.
Just as the handmaid kept crying, "It's over, it's over," a round-faced, elegant woman with a box in her hand, came with five or six handmaidens.
After the woman came to Lu Shi'er, she put the box on the ground and shouted, "Lu Shi'er, you moved the contents of this box?" ”
Lu Shi'er hadn't figured it out yet, just stared at these people blankly.
With a calm face, the woman opened the wooden box in front of everyone, and then she took out an embroidered screen from the box.
Spread out the screen, and all the women screamed at the same time, and someone exclaimed: "Echo embroidery? ”
"Not bad." The round-faced woman said slowly: "This is the back pattern embroidery that has been lost for a hundred years, this screen is the last back pattern embroidery in the world, our wife dragged people to find it for five years, and it took a lot of hard work to find it, and it was ready to be offered at the Queen Mother's birthday gift a month later." At this, the round-faced woman shook slightly, and everyone clearly saw that the bottom of the screen had been cut in half.
In the midst of everyone's regret, the round-faced woman turned to Lu Shi'er and said coldly: "Fifth sister-in-law, no matter what you do, Mrs. will not care about you. But this time, you're in a big mess. This screen, Mrs. has already given the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is also looking forward to it, but at this time, you have destroyed it for your own selfish desires......"
Before the round-faced woman's words were finished, Lu Shi'er had already fallen to the ground softly, and she shouted with a white face and trembling: "No, no, it's not me, I don't, I don't!" ”
But at this time, it was useless for her to say this. Seeing that Lu Shi'er was set up by several servants, a scholar girl who had just mocked Ji Ji with her said in a low voice: "Shi'er's disaster this time is too big. ”
"I'm afraid she'll never be able to turn over again."
"The main thing is that this screen is known to the Queen Mother, if you want to save Lu Shi'er, unless you find another person who is proficient in the back pattern embroidery method, and then embroider the same pair for the Queen Mother, otherwise, Lu Shi'er is in danger......"
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of discussion, Ji Ji stood there quietly, her eyes were looking at the destroyed screen, no one knew that at this moment, her heart was setting off a huge wave: this kind of embroidery, how can I seem to have learned it, and I am still very proficient?
Ji Ji looked at Lu Shi'er, who was paralyzed and crying, and understood that in this world, maybe the only one who could save her was herself! .
