Chapter 67: Scoundrels

There were only a dozen men and horses galloping on the official road.

"Why does Your Majesty want His Highness to go back?" The scribe was a little puzzled and said, "It's easy to choose a ship to go to sea. ”

"Say something else." Dongping County King said.

What could be more important than finding the First Emperor?

In order to track down a trace, the princess of the county was seriously ill and could not rush back to see her for the last time.

The scribe sighed inwardly.

That's probably the time it was.

The emperor probably also apologized, so whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, he would always find various reasons to let the king of Dongping go home.

He looked up and looked around, and the autumn colors were getting thicker.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year again.

………………………………………

Xie Wenxing shook off the letter from the capital, and glanced at it, and a hint of ridicule appeared on his lips.

"I was not summoned to the palace on the spot, so it can be seen that the letter did not say much." He said to himself, pinching his letter and thinking for a moment, "Tell Steward Liu that as soon as the birthday of the princess on August 13 is over, I will immediately take her out of the capital." ”

The entourage in front of him responded, and hesitated for a moment.

"Are you bringing it home?" He asked in a low voice.

Xie Wenxing sneered.

If it's a useless waste, it's okay to keep it, but a biting snake can't be kept.

Bring it home and cry in front of Mrs. Xie again, and there will be no chance to start.

"If you're not in good health, just walk slowly, you don't have to get home right away." He said lightly.

Not in good health!

The entourage understands that a little girl will inevitably get sick and make trouble after a long journey, and it is difficult to say whether she can be cured if she is sick. More people died on the way.

However, although Xie Wenxing's arrangement has long been understood. But hearing this kind of command from a father-in-law, the entourage was still chilled.

Earlier, it was said that the second lady murdered the eldest lady. immediately expelled the second miss without saying a word, and now that she knows that the second miss is the real eldest lady, the previous eldest lady has no way to live.

As the saying goes, tiger poison doesn't eat children, but the Xie family obviously doesn't care about this.

But there is no way, the eldest lady and the second miss of the Xie family are not just such a simple identity as children, not to mention that this time they are still two young ladies of twins, with you without me, with me without you. In the end, only one can be left.

The entourage turned around and withdrew, and before Xie Wenxing could rest for a moment, there was a commotion outside.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

"Wenxing!"

A crowd of people rushed in with indignation.

"What's wrong again?" Xie Wenxing frowned and asked.

"Big brother, you take care of the eldest lady." Xie Wenxiu said.

"I didn't tell you, you have to follow her." Xie Wenxing said, "Let her get used to the life of the eldest lady, get used to the status of the eldest lady, and coax to follow." When she feels the life of the eldest lady, she will no longer be entangled in what name will be announced to the world. ”

Especially after Xie Rouhui died, she was the only eldest lady in this world, and she was unique. As for what it is called, what does it matter.

"We're doing what you say." An old man said, "You told her something else, but she wouldn't do it." Let's just talk about miners, we say miners. She did go to the mine. ”

Xie Wenxing showed a satisfied smile.

In the end, it's a girl, and it's a girl raised as a second lady. Compared with the eldest lady, this kind of girl has less responsibility and a little more pity, and the kind of pity that is unrealistic and can only move herself.

Since she is annoyed and cold with her family, let her show her compassion to vent.

"She brought food and clothes to the miners, and she also ate with the miners." Another old man said.

"Hasn't the old lady done this kind of thing, it's not unusual." Xie Wenxing said, "It's just some food and drink, and it doesn't cost a lot of money." ”

"Not only eating and drinking, she even said that she wanted all mines to stop work for three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Another old man said.

Xie Wenxing was stunned.

Lockout?

"Big brother, it doesn't cost much to eat and drink, even if you spend a lot, you can earn it back, but do you know how much money you lose for a day of work stoppage?"

"Yes, it's three days, and all the mines! How much does it cost! ”

"How can this rule be opened, this time the Mid-Autumn Festival will be closed for three days, so what about next year? What about other festivals? ”

………………………………………

"Other festivals?"

Xie Roujia said, turning her head and jumping down from the rock.

"Be careful, be careful." Xie Wenxing hurriedly supported her.

Xie Roujia stood firm and clapped her hands.

"Of course, other festivals also have to rest, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the winter solstice, March 3, and the New Year." "Not just this year, but in the future." ”

Xie Wenxing glanced at the anxious people standing in the distance, smiled and followed Xie Roujia.

"Jiajia, this is not appropriate." He said.

"What's wrong, I didn't mine before, I rested every day, and I didn't see the sky fall." Xie Roujia said.

What words!

"This mine can't be stopped, if it stops, no matter how people look at us, they will think that something is wrong with our Xie family's mine." Xie Wenxing said, with a bit of solemnity, "Jiajia, if you feel sorry for the miners, let them take turns to rest, even if there is less sand, even if you give more money in those days." ”

Xie Roujia stopped and looked at Xie Wenxing.

"Father, you're wrong, I'm not sorry for the miners." She said, "I feel sorry for the mines. ”

Mine?

Xie Wenxing was stunned.

"When the time comes, there will be no mine and no cinnabar, that is, the miners will work day and night, and the mine will not stop day and night, and others will not think that our Xie family is fine." Xie Roujia said.

Dry up and fishing, no cinnabar?

How is this possible, why the Xie family can stand undefeated for hundreds of years, it is because the Xie family is the descendant of the Great Wuqing, and the Dan Lord Witch can nourish the cinnabar, so it lasts endlessly.

"Jiajia! Listen to me......" Xie Wenxing said.

"Don't tell me, I don't listen to what you say, just listen to me." Xie Roujia interrupted him. Drop a sentence, "I'm tired and have to go back to rest." ”

Xie Wenxing watched her walk away helplessly. Others rushed over at once.

"How?"

"Did you get it?"

Everyone asked.

Xie Wenxing exhaled and frowned.

"Forget it. This time, let's do what she says. He said.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"How's that going to work?"

"Why can't this work, the eldest lady is happy, why can't you reward them for three days to celebrate together?" Xie Wenxing frowned and shouted.

The crowd stopped.

"Okay, now the most important thing is at home, only the family is straightened out, she is happy, and nothing is a problem." Xie Wenxing eased his expression again and said solemnly.

"Wenxing." An old man whispered, "The eldest lady wants to be happy." Whatever you want, we all know it, so how she treats the miners, good food, good drink, good clothes and more money, it's no problem, but there are some things. ”

When he said this, he looked at Xie Wenxing and pointed to the mine.

"There are some things that women can't meddle in."

yes, now it seems that this kid is not just throwing a tantrum.

Xie Wenxing looked at the girl who walked away and frowned.

She probably wanted more than she thought.

……………………………………………

"Miss, go back to Yushan directly or go to another mine?" Cheng Lin asked. Lead the horse.

Jiang Ling can't ride a horse, Shui Ying has to serve Rouqing, and she can't follow her around, but Brother An can come out with her. But Xie Roujia disagreed, but fortunately, there was Cheng Lin left by Shao Mingqing as an accompaniment.

"Back to Yushan." Xie Roujia said, pulling the little red horse. The gaze stopped again.

A man was walking past her, apparently aware of the sight. The man also stopped.

"Miss Roujia." He said with a smile.

"Master Huang, you're here again." Xie Roujia said.

On that day, he replied to the king of Dongping County on the street. Unexpectedly, after a while, she was going to forget about it, and this Huang Zhushu suddenly came to Yushan and personally sent her a reply from the king of Dongping County.

And then these days, as long as she goes out, she can meet Huang Zhushu every once in a while.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the prefect wants some cinnabar ornaments." Master Huang said with a smile, "I was ordered to pick one." ”

This time, it's about picking rough stones.

The first few times I was looking for Master Xie, or discussing the Mid-Autumn Festival in Pengshuicheng, or asking about other things, in short, there was something.

As the main bookkeeper, he is in charge of miscellaneous affairs, and the Xie family is a member of the Pengshui clan, so it is normal to come and go to inquire about it.

But it's too dense...

He's not here to reply to the letter, is he?

A thought flashed through Xie Roujia's mind.

When she saw Master Huang's book, she couldn't help but think of the letter from the king of Dongping County, she didn't plan to reply to the letter, and she had nothing to reply to, and she was not familiar with it......

Huang Zhushu didn't say anything more, Shi Li smiled and walked towards Xie Wenxing.

Maybe thinking too much, Xie Roujia patted the horse's head and turned over on the horse.

There were a lot more guards around Yushan, but the mountain was still quiet, Xie Roujia turned a corner, and heard a commotion in her ears, accompanied by the low voice of a girl.

Xie Rouqing.

Xie Roujia hurriedly pulled her horse and looked up the hill, and saw a girl falling on the hillside, and a cane was rolling downward.

"Hey, you're alright." She hurriedly dismounted and ran upward.

"I'm fine." Xie Rouqing said, holding the mountain stone with one hand, and sat up hard.

Xie Roujia picked up her crutches and walked over, relieved to see that she was really not injured.

"Why did you run here? Just walk around the road. She said, handing over the crutches and asking Shui Ying again.

Shui Ying ran down from the mountain with a pheasant in her hand.

"Shui Ying, don't be playful, why don't you leave the third sister behind?" Xie Roujia frowned and said.

"Don't blame her, I told her not to follow me." Xie Rouqing said, "I don't go anywhere else, I just climb the mountain here and practice the strength of my hands and legs." ”

Xie Rouqing is a very stubborn person, she didn't have any contact before, but now she lives together Xie Roujia is very touched.

In addition to Shui Ying helping her wash, even Jiang Ling was not allowed to come close to help, dressed herself to eat and come by herself, once even sat in the yard to chop firewood, after her arm was healed, she began to walk around with crutches, and now she is not only walking on the road, but also starting to climb the mountain.

But that's fine, people live to have a breath.

"Then you be careful, don't rush or not get there." Xie Roujia said.

Xie Rouqing hummed, picked up a dead branch on the side, and knocked it on the stone.

It's the rhythm of the drums.

Seeing that she didn't plan to talk to herself, Xie Roujia didn't speak again, said a few words to Shui Ying, jumped off the mountain and got on the horse.

The beating of drums beating rocks behind him continued, and he was soon left behind.

"Miss, Miss!"

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Jiang Ling, who was standing at the door, shouted loudly to greet him.

Xie Roujia jumped off her horse and her eyes fell on a young man at the door.

The young man was fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and thin, with large, bright eyes and shrewdness.

"Who?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's the North Wang Shi of Jingcheng Town..."Jiang Ling said with a strange expression.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the young man over there.

"Miss, our prince has sent you a congratulatory gift." He said with a grin, bowing his hand.

Zhou Chengzhen?

"Take it back, I don't want his gift." Xie Roujia said.

"The gift has been opened and laid out, and I can't take it back." The young attendant said.

What the hell!

Xie Roujia glared at him.

"It's a good sandalwood, I didn't stop it, he just ran into the house and lit it...."Jiang Ling said with an uneasy face.

Bummer!

Xie Roujia rolled her eyes.

"Then you can go." She said angrily, raising her feet and walking inside.

"Miss, don't you want to return the gift?" The young attendant glared and asked, "Etiquette is still exchanged." ”

You ghost! What a rogue retinue taught by a scoundrel master!

Xie Roujia glared back.
