Chapter 193: Running away from home
No matter how much he doubted in his heart, Xu Qirong didn't want to mess with the matter of Dongyang Houfu anymore, where was he willing to find out what was going on!
Time flies quickly, and the Lantern Festival has passed unconsciously. It didn't take long for the news to spread in Xijing City, and the Marquis of Dongyang really asked for the title of the son of his illegitimate son. And the mother of the illegitimate child was also carried into the Dongyang Hou Mansion and became the wife of the Dongyang Hou.
Mrs. Hou of Dongyang is a powerful character, although her family is weak, Hou Dongyang does not dare to break the net with her, and Mrs. Hou of Dongyang is pinched to death. Now that the original Mrs. Dongyang Hou is gone, and there is no son left, Dongyang Hou wants to ask for the illegitimate son to be sealed, and the mother of the illegitimate child is raised as his wife, and no one in the original Mrs. Dongyang Hou's family dares to stand up and speak.
The family of Mrs. Hou of Dongyang did not stand up to speak, let alone others! The edict of Feng Shizi has come down, and no one wants to offend the future Marquis of Dongyang for a dead man. Therefore, after the freshly baked Dongyang Hou Shizi made a big splash in a poetry meeting, few people in the entire Xijing City mentioned the rise of the former Dongyang Hou Lady to sweep the Dongyang Hou Mansion.
After Xu Qirong heard this, he immediately remembered the sisters-in-law who practiced himself with Mrs. Dongyang Hou in his previous life, and immediately felt a little absurd. Dongyang Houfu is really not an ordinary place, in order to please the stepfamily, the original concubine holds the stepmother even more than the biological mother!
Time is in a blink of an eye, and it is the second flower festival of the first month of February. Because of Miss Qi's overtures a year ago, the two sisters, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong, have gotten closer to her these days. I no longer reject Miss Qi so much in my heart. A few days before the Flower Dynasty Festival, Miss Qi asked the two sisters to go out for spring together.
Today is the Flower Dynasty Festival, and the little ladies originally prepared a hundred flowers meeting. Meet in the peach blossom forest next to the Jin Palace. But Shuang Lian got married, and the county lord of Jiaren was approaching the delivery period these days and couldn't go out. Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong didn't want to participate in the Hundred Flowers Meeting. simply agreed to Miss Qi's invitation.
It's still early spring, and although the winter snow has melted, it's not yet time for the flowers to bloom. Fortunately, the mountains are full of new greenery, which is also interesting.
Miss Qi had the intention to please the two sisters, one was for the unspeakable purpose in her heart, and the other was to see that the two sisters had no mother, and remembered that her mother died early. I have a sense of sympathy and want to take care of one or two. Knowing that Xu Qirong rarely went out in the past few years, he had been to Xifeng Mountain a few times. After thinking about it, he asked the two sisters to go horseback riding on Red Rock Beach.
Miss Qi's own equestrian skills are excellent, and she chooses a very gentle and slightly dwarf little mare. Miss Qi personally taught, and there were maids and wives watching from the sidelines. The two sisters, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong, had a lot of fun. It's Miss Qi herself. When the interest came, he also rode his horse and whip along the red rock beach for a long time, and his heroic posture was sassy, and he saw the envy of the two sisters.
Before I came out to play, I specially prepared snacks, and when I was tired of playing, I spread a layer of cloth on the ground, used snacks together, and drank tea. Chat and joke. By the time I packed up my things and went back, it was already unitary time.
Because happy. When they went back, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong specially invited Miss Qi to sit in the same carriage with them. returned to Zhuangyuan Lane, got out of the carriage, said goodbye to Miss Qi, and the two sisters entered the door with a smile.
After entering the door, Shen An's family immediately greeted him, and asked with a smile, "How are the two young ladies having fun today?" ”
Xu Qijin smiled: "It's good." ”
Xu Qirong pursed his lips: "This is the first time I've ridden a horse, it's really interesting." In two days, let's invite Miss Qi to come over for a snack and thank her. ”
Shen Anjia accompanied the two of them back to the room to change their clothes, and said, "Okay, the old slave will arrange it, there have been many things in the General's Mansion recently, and Sister-in-law Zhou, who had been with us before, has returned, just so that she can prepare a few new snacks." ”
Sister-in-law Zhou is the cook who can make sour jujube cakes that Xu Qirong gave to the county lord of Jiaren before. The main production period of Jiaren County is approaching, although General Yang Xiao wants to stay and watch the birth of Lin'er, but the holy decree was issued several months ago, and it has been delayed until now that it is Shengshang Longen, and once the Lantern Festival is over, General Yang Xiao is reluctant, or set off to go to the border.
The county lord of Jiaren is young, and he is the first heir in the general's mansion in his belly, so the general's mansion and the eldest princess's mansion are naturally very busy. At this time, I sent Zhou's sister-in-law back to Xu Qirong, firstly, to avoid messing around, and secondly, to avoid the trouble involving Xu Qirong.
Originally, the two sisters, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong, planned to bring some things to the General's Mansion tomorrow to visit Jiaren, and by the way, they would ask Sister-in-law Zhou to come back!
At this time, hearing that Shen An's family had returned, Xu Qijin smiled slightly and said, "Since you are back, Mother Shen, you will reward her with a few dollars later, and say that it is a reward for her doing a good job." ”
Shen Anjia sighed and continued to follow the two sisters inside.
Xu Qijin was a little surprised, pulled Xu Qirong for a moment, stopped, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mother Shen?" ”
Shen Anjia's face was a little ugly, he glanced around, and then attached it to Xu Qijin's ear, and whispered: "There are people in the house, and the old slave has hidden people in your room." ”
Xu Qirong leaned closer, heard this clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised, Shen An's family is not an ignorant person, who is coming, Shen An's family actually hid people in his sister's boudoir!
Xu Qijin also frowned.
Shen Anjia sighed and continued to suppress his voice: "It's inconvenient for others to know about this matter, and it's not easy for the old slave to say." The two ladies went over together to see what was going on. ”
For Shen An's family, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong still trust it very much in their hearts, hearing her say this, they didn't think about it anymore, glanced at each other, Xu Qijin suddenly said: "Zhuozhuo, I made a new set of clothes for you over there, you go with me to try it." ”
Xu Qirong responded with a smile.
When he arrived outside Xu Qijin's boudoir, Xu Qijin said again: "You all go down and clean up the table and prepare dinner, and Mother Shen will follow up and serve." ”
Even Yu Qiu, Qiu Nong and the others around him were sent away together, and Xu Qijin raised his foot and pushed open the door and walked in.
But I saw two people dressed as small servants sitting in front of the small round table outside, one of them was holding a plate of dim sum to eat, although he was in a hurry, he did not feel like gobbling up, and he had always been an excellent tutor. The other picked up the cup and teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea and placed it next to the man who had eaten the snack.
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were shocked, they never expected that Shen An's family would hide the two men in Xu Qijin's boudoir.
The two people dressed as little servants were startled when they heard the sound of the door opening, and they wanted to hide, but they were relieved to see that the people who came were Xu Qijin, Xu Qirong and Shen An's family.
The one who ate the dim sum put down the plate in his hand, stood up, and shouted softly: "Cousin Jin, cousin Rong." There was endless grievance and joy in his tone.
"Third cousin!" Xu Qirong exclaimed.
These two little guys are dressed up, who are they not Shen Yaru and Ah Luo!
The two of them had sunken cheeks, and they didn't know how much suffering they had suffered, no wonder Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong didn't recognize anyone at first!
Shen Anjia sighed, and his tone was full of distress: "Just now the old slave went out, and the corner of the alley was stopped by Miss Sanbiao and Ah Luo, and when he saw the old slave, he cried, and he couldn't even speak." When the old slave saw them like this, he didn't dare to let people see them, so he had to secretly bring them in through the back door and hide them in the young lady's boudoir. ”
Xu Qirong raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yaru's eyes, and they were really a little red and swollen.
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong glanced at each other and sighed, this time is not a good time to ask, just now seeing Shen Yaru like that, it is obvious that she has not eaten for several days. Ah Luo was a little vague even standing next to him, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, obviously he hadn't eaten for several days, and he hadn't had a good rest for several days. It's rare that he still abides by the master-servant relationship just now, and serves Shen Yaru with dim sum first.
It is not easy for two little ladies to come here from Jinju like this.
Xu Qijin hurriedly asked Shen An's family to go to the kitchen to get some soft and a little food, and ordered to boil hot water, and called Yu Qiu to come in and quietly take Ah Luo to eat and wash.
After Shen Yaru and Ah Luo were full, washed and changed their clothes, Xu Qijin heard Qiu Nong, who was guarding in front, report that Fourth Master Xu had returned. Hurriedly arranged for the master and servant to sleep well, and Xu Qirong and the two went out.
As soon as he left the room, Shen Anjia hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know why Miss Sanbiao came here like this, but is this because of her reputation......
Xu Qijin naturally understood, and said, "Mother Shen, don't worry, I won't tell my father about this matter first." ”
Only then did the Shen Anjia nod and sighed: "I don't know if something happened to the Shen family." ”
When she mentioned this, Xu Qirong was also worried, her brows furrowed, and Xu Qijin said with relief: "No, I also received a letter from my grandmother during the Chinese New Year, saying that everything was fine at home." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Qijin was stunned and glanced at Xu Qirong.
Yes, during the Chinese New Year, my grandmother also wrote a letter, saying that everything was good in the family, and that the two young ladies of the Shen family were about to say that they were good in-laws, and Xu Qirong was still sighing to Xu Qijin at that time, saying that he didn't know where the two cousins were talking about, if they said it far, I was afraid that their cousins would not have many opportunities to meet in the future.
Could it be that Shen Yaru ran out like this because she was dissatisfied with the in-laws that the Shen family told her?
Xu Qirong shook his head in his heart, such a bold thing, if it was done by the fourth cousin, it is still possible, the third cousin has always been sensible and knowledgeable, it is impossible to do such a thing. If this spreads, what reputation does Miss Shen Jiasan have to talk about? (To be continued......)
