Chapter 166: Doing Tricks and Feet (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass!! )
Situ Yingsleeve asked if the attic board on the fifth floor had been repaired, in fact, he was asking why Xie Dongli still lived in the cabin on the third floor, and did not live in the richly decorated and grand room on the fourth floor.
Xie Dongliang's footsteps stopped in front of the cabin door, and he said indifferently without looking back: "I don't know." With that, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Ah Shun walked over with his neck curled behind him, scratched the back of his head, and said to Situ Yingsleeve with a sneer: "Miss Situ, the attic on the fifth floor ...... It hasn't been repaired yet, and we adults can't help it, so we have to succumb to the third floor. ”
Back on the official ship, Situ Ying restored her women's clothes and no longer pretended to be Xie Dongli's little servant, so Ah Shun still called her "Miss Situ".
Situ Yingsleeve raised his hand and stroked his sideburns, pulled a strand of curly hair hanging down from his ear behind his ear, and frowned slightly: "That's it?" The temper of the adults is too good. These boatmen couldn't repair the attic board for so many days, and the adults didn't get angry. ”
As soon as the words fell, he heard a crisp sound from the cabin on Xie Dongli's side, as if a cup was about to be smashed.
Situ Yingsleeve: "......" Okay, she retracted what she just said.
Xie Donglian's temper is still so bad......
Ah Shun smiled and rubbed his hands with a relieved smile, pointed to Xie Dongli's cabin door and said, "Listen?" How can you not get angry? Where are we adults? - I don't like the work these people do! ”
"Well, you push them a little more, don't let them be lazy. If it was repaired earlier, you adults should move back to your proper house as soon as possible. Situ Yingsleeve nodded, pushed open the door of his cabin and went in to rest.
Ah Shun hesitated at the door for a long time before knocking on the door of Xie Dongli's cabin: "My lord? ”
Xie Dongli replied inside: "Come in." ”
Ah Shun pushed open the door of the cabin and walked in. Close the door with your hand back.
Xie Dongli sat behind the bookcase in the middle cabin, and spread out rice paper in front of him. I was about to write a letter when I looked up at him. "Come and sharpen the ink".
Ah Shun hurriedly added some water to the inkstone and began to grind.
Xie Dongli dipped his pen and said while writing with a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing: "Don't go to Jiangnan with us first, just go back to Gubei Town and wait for the honor guard of the county lord of Yinglan." When she comes, give her this letter. ”
Shun: "Huh? With a sound, a square face immediately tensed: "My lord, what is this going to do?" ”
"You should say to the Lord of Lan County, Xie is grateful for the emperor's grace. Don't dare to forget. But the burden of Ke Qiuyu is even heavier, and it can no longer be delayed in choosing a concubine. Please ask Lord Ying Lan to do a favor and take over the burden of choosing a concubine. Xie Dongli put down the pen in his hand, put the letter he had just written into a brown paper bag, stamped it with the big seal of Qincha, and handed it to Ah Shun, "When the county lord receives the letter, you can go back to the capital." ”
Ah Shun took the brown paper bag and lowered his head silently.
He has been following Xie Dongli for so long. I don't know everything about Xie Dongli's thoughts, but I also know a little bit about it.
For example, this time, he can take the head of the head as a guarantee, and the fifth master must be deliberately dragging the county lord Yinglan. I don't want her to come along......
Of course, the fifth master has always done things without leakage, whether it is good or bad. All told the other party not only not to refuse, but also to agree willingly.
Even Ah Shun could see it. This time, the lord of Ying Lan went south, and on the bright side, he was on behalf of the emperor and the empress to express his condolences to Lord Qincha. In fact, it's not that I'm worried about the Jiangnan beauties that Lord Qincha has sent to the capital, of course, it also has the meaning of being close to Xie Dong's fence......
Lord Ying Lan and her fellow brother His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun are twin sons, and His Royal Highness the Imperial Grand Sun is currently the sole heir of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, but if His Majesty the Emperor gives birth to another son, his position as the Imperial Grandson will not be stable.
Xie Dongli didn't want to take a county lord to the south of the Yangtze River, so he threw out a bait to choose a concubine, and the county lord Ying Lan had to eat it.
In addition to Gubei Town, there are also several other counties, and Xie Dongli had already sent someone to notify the magistrates there in advance, asking them to prepare for the selection of concubines.
Because the lord of Yinglan County came, Xie Dongli shook a shot, simply threw the matter of choosing a concubine to Lord Yinglan, and dragged her, but he took Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei to the south by boat.
When Lord Yinglan quickly arrived in Gubei Town with people, he only saw a small servant and a letter left by Xie Dongli.
Unfolding the letter and looking at it, Lord Ying Lan had to admire Xie Donglian's methods.
She accepted the letter and said to the little servant who sent the letter: "I know, thank you Lord Qincha for taking care of me." Then he asked Ah Shun, "...... Are you a little servant of Lord Chincha? ”
Ah Shun straightened his chest and said proudly: "If you go back to the county lord, the younger one is the Xie family, and the younger one is the little servant of Lord Qincha!" ”
Lord Ying Lan knew that he was the son of the Xie family, so he casually asked a few words, seeing that this little guy didn't know whether he was deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb, or if he really didn't know anything, in short, she didn't inquire about Xie Dongli for half a star.
But she wasn't angry, and she didn't expect to ask anything important from a little guy.
If she could ask, she would look down on Xie Dongli instead.
It's better now, and she can still look up to him a few points.
"Remember to listen to your family, there will be a lot of them in the future!" Lord Ying Lan said as he ordered someone to reward Ah Shun with a few pure gold bills.
Ah Shun took the gold bills in his hand and checked them, knowing that they were pure gold, he sighed "obediently" in his heart, and then said goodbye and went back to the capital.
……
Here, Xie Dongli's official ship pulled its sails, left Gubei Town, and went south along the river, and saw the wharf of Jinling City in two days.
Situ Yingsleeve has been nesting in the cabin for the past two days, reading books and playing chess with Situ Chenlei, and has never left the door of the cabin.
On this day, I heard the mother-in-law who went out to cook say that she was almost at the dock of Jinling City, so she pushed the door out, stood on the deck, and looked into the distance.
Jinling City has always been a very prosperous city in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty.
Except for the capital, it is the largest.
Situ Yingsleeve stayed here for 12 years, from birth until he was 12 years old.
When he was twelve years old, Situ Jianren moved to the capital with his family......
Now, two years have passed.
But Jinling City has not changed at all.
The big trees on the shore are lush and so thick that they can only be hugged by two people.
The docks were bustling with people. Although it was far away, it seemed that the vendors could still be seen carrying their burdens. Selling duck blood vermicelli everywhere......
A smile appeared on Situ Yingsleeve's face.
Xie Dongli saw her come out, and also came out of the cabin. Standing next to her, he said in a deep voice: "When you get ashore, I'll send you home first." ”
Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly thanked: "My lord, there is a lot of trouble along the way, so there is no need to trouble you to send us home." ”
"Not really?" Xie Dongli put his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know the way?" ”
"Of course I do! It's not like I haven't been there. I've been here for twelve years! Situ Yingsleeve was speechless, secretly wondering if Ah Shun had told Xie Dongli about her easy to get lost......
With that in mind, she looked around again. Curiously asked, "My lord, where is Ah Shun?" I haven't heard him loud these days. ”
"You want to hear him talk?" Xie Dongli squinted at her, his eyes were so dark that his voice became deeper and lower.
"Of course not." Situ Yingsleeve instinctively felt that Xie Dongli was a little angry.
She looked up and saw that Xie Donglian's face was tense, although his face was stiff, it seemed that his graceful jaw was becoming more and more delicate and moving, and she couldn't help blinking, and immediately said like a spring: "Ah Shun's broken gong throat will have nightmares at night when I hear it!" - How can there be a good voice from an adult! ”
Xie Dongli endured and endured. didn't curl the corners of his lips in front of Situ Ying's sleeves.
But when he walked away, his voice became more and more pleasant: "...... Don't rush to leave when you get off the boat, wait for me to ......"
Situ Yingsleeve smiled and watched Xie Dongli walk towards the fourth floor, quietly grimacing.
Thousands of wears, sycophants don't wear.
She remembered the time of her last life. The people in the capital said that Vice Minister Xie didn't enter, and it was even more difficult to please him than to ascend to the sky, but I didn't expect him to like to listen to good words so much......
"Sister!" Situ Chenlei ran out of the cabin. Standing side by side with her on the bow of the boat, he said, "Is it coming?" ”
Situ Yingsleeve touched his head with pity, then pointed to the dock in the distance and said, "It's almost there." It's over there, see? Do you remember this place? ”
Situ Chenlei shook his head with a grin. "I don't remember."
Situ Chenlei grew up in Jinling City until he was eight years old before entering Beijing with them.
It's just that in the last life, his life ended in the Qingjiang River in Beijing.
In this life, Situ Yingsleeve rescued him in time, so that he could continue to live.
The two siblings are back together!
The coffin that came to pick up my mother has returned to the capital!
Their family will live in the capital in the future, and of course they can't leave their mother alone in Jinling City.
In fact, even if Zhang didn't mention this idea, Situ Yingsleeve would have come up with it himself.
The official ship walked for another two hours, and finally arrived at the dock of Jinling City in the evening.
The glow of the setting sun shone on the gray sail, and gave the sail a dazzling gold edge.
Xie Dongli ordered the official ship to stop in advance, dressed in civilian clothes, avoiding the officials and gentry of Jinling City who greeted him in front, and took Situ Chenlei and Situ Yingsleeve to get off the boat first, and went to their Situ family's ancestral residence in Jinling City.
Situ Yingsleeve sat in the car, looking at the scenery of Jinling City from the car window, very embarrassed.
"Do you remember the place?" Xie Dongli rested his hands on his knees and sat upright in the cart.
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, "Remember." ”
But it's not very familiar.
Because in the last life, she was a young lady at home who didn't go out of the door and didn't step out of the second door.
And because of her younger brother Situ Chenlei's relationship, she was even more reluctant to let outsiders see Situ Chenlei, and she couldn't wait to hide him tightly.
As a result of this, Situ Chenlei looked at this Jinling City as if he had never been here.
And Situ Yingsleeve saw the scene on the street, which was also a little unfamiliar, even more strange than the scene in the capital.
For her, Jinling City is simply the days of her last life.
……
"Yingsleeve, Xiao Lei, you're back!" Mrs. Zhao, Situ Yingsleeve's eldest aunt, took their sister and brother into her arms.
Xie Dongli saw that the relatives of the sister and brother were guarding the door of their mansion, so he was relieved to hand them over to Mrs. Zhao.
"Uncle, aunt, this is Xie Shilang, and he is also Lord Qincha. Before coming back this time, our family's boat broke down, so in order not to delay the time, we came back with Lord Qincha on the official boat. Situ Yingsleeve said to Mrs. Zhao with a smile.
Situ Jianxing, the patriarch of the Situ family, that is, Situ Yingsleeve's eldest uncle, hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you Lord Qincha for your help!" ”
Xie Dongli nodded indifferently, "I'm also on the way." Then he looked at Situ Yingsleeve and said, "When will you go back to the capital, send someone to the prefect's yamen in Jinling City to say something." I just live there. ”
He put on the identity of the Qincha this time, making it clear that he wanted to support the sister and brother.
If the people of the Situ family look at the return of only the sister and brother who have not grown up, they want to take advantage of them and beat their ideas, but they have to ask him if Xie Dongli agrees......
Situ Jianxing became more and more respectful, and said busily: "The adults are busy, so we won't bother." When the matter here is over, I will personally go to the prefect's yamen to inform the adults. ”
Xie Dongli nodded, turned around and strode away.
Mrs. Zhao patted her chest and said, "This Lord Xie is so big, it scares me to death." ”
"Auntie, Brother Xie is the best, it's not scary at all." Situ Chenlei was busy and spoke very eloquently.
"It's Uncle Xie." Situ Yingsleeve glanced at him. This kid is really called "brother......
Situ Chenlei grimaced at her and grinned: "Your name is cousin, and I call me eldest brother!" ”
Mrs. Zhao looked at Situ Chenlei, who couldn't speak before, and was able to quarrel with Situ Yingsleeve, so happy that tears came out, and she choked up: "I think your mother has a soul, and when I see that you are coming to pick her up, I will let Xiao Lei's illness be cured!" Who dares to say that we are Xiao Lei, I will beat him with a big-eared scraper! ”
Situ Yingsleeve smiled and walked with Mrs. Zhao to the corner gate of their mansion.
Situ Chenlei and Situ Jianxing walked behind together.
Along the way, Mrs. Zhao kept talking to Situ Yingsleeve.
Since she received the news from the capital that the Situ Yingsleeve sisters and brothers were going back to Jinling City to pick up the coffin of their mother-in-law Shen Yongjie, she began to prepare for it at home.
Soul shifting doesn't mean moving just like moving.
It is disrespectful to disturb the deceased, so be careful to do so.
From asking Mr. Yin Yang to choose the date and auspicious time, to preparing to carry the spirit, as well as the paper carriage sedan chair, as well as the tea and fruit snacks offered, and the table for the land of Chenghuang, all aspects helped the Situ Yingsleeve sisters and brothers to do a good job.
Situ Yingsleeve said gratefully to Mrs. Zhao: "Auntie, without you, we really don't know how long we will be busy!" ”
"What are you doing out here?" Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and told her, "It's a good thing to move the soul, but there is no need to divide the sect." When you go back, remember to persuade your father, don't be bewitched by your stepmother. Is it that easy to divide the sect? ”
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, she didn't want to divide the sect either.
If the sect is really divided, her father will really be lawless......
Someone had to hold him down on it.
The siblings settled in their former mansion first.
First, you must burn incense and bathe, recite the scriptures for three days, and only on the fourth day can you officially move the spirit.
……
Late at night, in a small farm next to the ancestral tomb of the Situ family outside Jinling City, a light like a bean, a man with a beard and thick eyebrows and big eyes stood in front of the window, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the moon in the sky.
A man in black knelt down on one leg in front of the window and said in a low voice: "Fourth master, there are people secretly guarding Mrs. Shen's grave, and there is no way to do anything about it." ”
