Chapter 9 Inquiry
Lao Haimu only learned that the old lady was dead on the third day after coming to Xie's house.
The news shocked him.
The reason why he came to Xie's house was because the old lady wanted to see him? So why haven't you seen it?
Old Haimu suspected that the old lady was already dead when he came.
But he didn't dare to ask, although he couldn't go out and wept for the old lady for many days.
"It was my grandmother's advice to call you." Xie Rouhui looked at him and said, "Now my mother has something to ask you." ”
Lao Haimu responded yes.
Xie Rouhui was about to speak, and a girl came out from within.
"Miss, Madame let you in." She bowed her head and said.
The smile on Xie Rouhui's face paused slightly, and she turned sideways to get out of the way.
"Let's get in." She said.
Lao Haimu followed the girl and went in with her head down.
The smile on Xie Rouhui's face faded and she looked at Xie Wenxing.
Xie Wenxing immediately turned his gaze away, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart.
"Father, let's rest early." Xie Rouhui said.
"Jiajia, you also rested earlier, you have been tired these days, and you have to go to the mine tomorrow." Xie Wenxing said with concern.
Xie Rouhui raised her feet and walked out, a group of girls were waiting outside the courtyard, and Xie Yao was also among them, seeing her come out and hurriedly greet her.
"Don't you guard against him?" Xie Yao waved her hand to drive away the girls, held Xie Rouhui, and looked back at Xie Wenxing, who was still standing under the porch respectfully and concernedly about her daughter, and said in a low voice, "Lock him up, he jumped up and down so badly at the beginning, so he said that he was in collusion with that cheap maid." ”
"He's the kind of person who doesn't have to be guarded, just like a dog. It's okay to have meat and bones to eat and do things in a hurry. Xie Rouhui said, "The only thing to do for this kind of person is to cut off his half-hearted chance." ”
"The first priority is to get rid of that." Xie Yao immediately said, "He can only rely on you, eldest lady." ”
"You're not stupid when you get home." Xie Rouhui looked at her and said with a smile, "Along the way, you have done and thought a lot of stupid things." ”
also wanted to tell the whistle and expose Xie Rouhui.
Xie Yao's heart skipped a beat, with a somewhat empty and flattering smile.
"Isn't that steady?" She said, "It's like duckweed out there, how can you still have a brain." ”
Xie Rouhui smiled and didn't speak, and walked forward slowly.
"Mother is also a little unpredictable now. It's still useful to keep my father. What's more, there are a lot of things outside that he has to do. "When he's useless, just throw him in the mine." ”
"This is also his glory, and he has become the real Xie family." Xie Yao covered his mouth and smiled.
Xie Rouhui smiled and said nothing. Stepped into his yard.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and the maids and servants were surging. After Xie Rouhui rests. Xie Yao just walked out, and a group of maids and servants greeted her outside the door.
"Miss, Madame has made a supper and is waiting for you."
"Miss, you're tired."
Concerned greetings, sincere smiling faces, and bright lanterns surrounded Xie Yao.
This is the life of man.
Xie Yao straightened his figure. With a shallow smile, he walked slowly in front of everyone.
The lights in Mrs. Xie's study were bright, and Lao Haimu knelt on the ground, listening to Mrs. Xie in front of her with the same surprise as the old lady.
"A descendant of a wizard?" Mrs. Xie asked.
But unlike the old lady, although she knew the wizard, she did not know who the wizard of Magu was.
The old lady died so suddenly, she didn't even tell her about it?
Old Haimu's heart was pounding.
"You don't have to think about it, my mother didn't tell me anything else except that I had a Tibetan scripture in Yushan." Mrs. Xie said coldly, "The eldest lady said, you also know about this matter, so I asked you to talk about it, I hope you don't say any nonsense, and don't hide, how you tell the old lady, just tell me, of course, you can also because of the old lady's order not to tell others, I will send your old lady to be loyal." ”
It's so crisp.
Old Haimu couldn't help but raise his head to look at Mrs. Xie.
Under the lamp, Mrs. Xie's face was pale and a little resolute.
She was honest, it wasn't coercion or inducement, that's what she thought and dared to do.
Judging the situation, Lao Haimu leaned over and kowtowed.
"Lord Dadan, the old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare, this should be sued by Lord Dadan."
…………………………………………….
"Mother, this is the Tibetan scripture of Yushan Wuqing Niangniang?"
It was dawning, and Xie Rouhui, who had come to greet her, was called in, and Mrs. Xie pushed a few pieces of paper on the table to her.
Xie Rouhui said with some excitement, stretching out her hand, but quickly withdrew it.
"Mother just put it away."
"Take it." Mrs. Xie said, "I will tell you the origin of this scripture. ”
Xie Rouhui hurriedly shook her head.
"Mother, didn't grandmother say that the rule of this matter is only to wait, wait... When I can say, Mother don't sue me now. She said, taking a step back.
Propriety.
A sad smile appeared on Mrs. Xie's face.
She is neither a daughter nor a rule in her mother's eyes.
"The rules have been broken, now you go and correct them." She said, picking up the paper in front of her and handing it over.
Xie Rouhui bowed her head and bowed in response, and then she stretched out her hand to take it, and her eyes could not hide her excitement as she listened to the origin of Mrs. Xie's scriptures.
"These are the twenty-four verses that came from the mouth of Wizard Megu." Mrs. Xie said.
The excitement in Xie Rouhui's eyes disappeared.
"Not all?" She looked up and asked in surprise.
Mrs. Xie stood up and nodded.
"Your grandmother knows sixteen." "I don't know how much of the mountain hasn't been dug up." ”
Xie Rouhui clenched the paper on which the scriptures had been written.
"Then she must know." She said, stepping forward, "Where is the scriptures in the mountains?" ”
"Even your second uncle doesn't know about this kind of thing, how can a descendant of a wizard know." Mrs. Xie said.
Xie Rouhui shook her head.
"No, not necessarily." She said.
"The descendants of the wizard will not lie to Lord Dan." Mrs. Xie said categorically.
There is no one in this world who does not lie.
Xie Rouhui sneered in her heart. But knowing that her mother has a strange temper now, she must not contradict her, especially not that she is wrong.
"Mother, when Lao Haimu came to ask me, he stopped talking, presumably his grandmother promised him something, and he didn't have time to do it yet." She said, "Grandmother is no longer here, and Haimu has explained the matter to her mother, and if grandmother really has any promises, mother should make promises for grandmother." ”
Mrs. Xie was silent for a moment.
"Call Haimu." She said.
Back in the house, the nervous old Haimu was called again. His expression was even more uneasy. After listening to Mrs. Xie's question, everyone was a little confused, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
"If there is, there is, if there is none, there is none. I want you to keep this secret for so many years. Grandmother will definitely reward you. But I see that you have been in the mine, and you are still mining at such an old age, and your grandmother has not had time yet. So I want to ask clearly, if you come to make a promise for your grandmother, and second, you don't want to misunderstand your grandmother. Xie Rouhui said.
"No, no, the old slave doesn't dare." Lao Haimu hurriedly said, hesitating for a moment, "If you want to say a promise, Old Dan Lord, it is indeed ......."
Look, sure enough.
A smile appeared on Xie Rouhui's lips.
"What is it?" She asked softly.
"The ancestors of the old slave are guilty of the death of the Dan master, and our children and grandchildren swear not to leave the mine to atone for the miners for generations, and Lao Er only asks the old Dan master to forgive me and other poisonous oaths, so that my children and grandchildren can return to freedom." He said, "The old Dan lord agreed, but it hasn't been..."
Xie Rouhui smiled.
"Don't worry, grandmother may not have figured out how to place you, it's not that she forgot." She said.
"Yes, yes, the old slave knows." Old Haimu was busy kowtowing.
"You go down first." Xie Rouhui said, "Mother will give you an explanation." ”
Lao Haimu looked at Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie looked blank.
"Yes." Old Haimu bowed his head and retreated.
Before he left, Xie Rouhui turned to Mrs. Xie.
"Mother, he must have something to hide." She raised an eyebrow and said, "He must not be let go." ”
Mrs. Xie looked at her.
"Why do you say that?" She said.
"Mother, he hid this scripture for decades and didn't say anything, not to mention that he couldn't see the Dan lord and couldn't leave the mine, but he didn't want to, he must be waiting for the opportunity to say it in exchange for the greatest benefit, you see he waited for it, and he did appeal to his grandmother, but mother, do you think this kind of person will really say everything before his grandmother doesn't promise? Wouldn't he have hidden some in case he didn't promise? Xie Rouhui said.
Mrs. Xie was silent for a moment.
"So what do you say? Is it tortured? She said.
"No, of course not, how could our Xie family do that kind of thing." Xie Rouhui said with a smile, "So I also asked my mother to complete the promised thing for my grandmother." ”
Mrs. Xie looked at her.
"Ask my mother to set him free, let him leave the mine, and let him enjoy the glory and wealth." Xie Rouhui said with a smile, "We convince people with virtue." ”
Mrs. Xie looked at her and sighed.
"You can do it." She said.
"Yes." Xie Rouhui responded with a salute.
…………………………………………………………………….
"Miss, Miss, the old slave can't afford this."
Looking at the gorgeous carriage in front of him, Lao Haimu said tremblingly, not daring to step forward.
"Old Haimu, why can't the wizard of the Xie family afford it?" Xie Rouhui said with a smile.
Wizards, wizards, it's been a hundred years, and it's finally been possible to hear this title.
Lao Haimu burst into tears of excitement.
"Get in the car, come with me to the mine, tell the people, and then you will prepare to rebuild the Wizard Temple and guard the mine." Xie Rouhui said.
Old Haimu kowtowed.
"Thank you, Miss, thank you." He choked up.
This eldest lady is really a good person, not only let him get rid of his identity as a miner, but also restored his identity as a wizard, which is simply too intimate, no wonder the miners praise the eldest lady.
"Daddy!"
A loud voice came through the layers of guards in front of Xie's house.
Xie Rouhui looked for a sound and saw a tall and thin young man running over in the distance.
The guards shouted in unison and drew their swords.
"Brother An!" Old Haimu hurriedly shouted.
Angobi? Father?
Xie Rouhui looked at the approaching young man with a swarthy face. The facial features are distinct, and a pair of eyes are big and bright, with a wild and rough and simple mixed atmosphere.
Oh, it was him.
She smiled and raised her hand.
The guards got out of the way in unison, and An Ge Yu rushed over and grabbed Lao Haimu.
"Dad, are you alright?" He asked hurriedly.
"What's the matter with me, there's the eldest lady here." Lao Haimu said, with excitement and excitement.
Brother An looked at Xie Rouhui.
The girl in front of her is wearing a plain dress because she is in the filial piety period. It looks more and more slim. Seeing him look over, the girl smiled lightly.
"Brother An." She said.
Brother An grabbed Lao Haimu's arm and took a step back.
"She's not a big lady." He said.
Lao Haimu looked stunned, and the smile on Xie Rouhui's face became even stronger.
"Brother An, you're really joking." She said with a smile. Raised his hand and pointed at him. "Still. If I don't make an example, if I joke again, I'll be annoyed. ”
Brother An clenched Lao Haimu's arm and looked at her.
"Don't mess around. I tell you, Lord Dan has promised to let us leave the mine and continue to be wizards, so kowtow to the eldest lady. Lao Haimu said.
Brother An's body tensed suddenly, and the person bounced out like a slingshot.
"No!" He shouted, "I'm not leaving the mine. ”
He said that he would turn around and run away.
"Brother An!" Old Haimu shouted.
Brother An had disappeared into the street in the blink of an eye, and the speed was so fast that the guards were a little dumbfounded.
"This, this kid, you also know the temper of the eldest lady...... Old Haimu said hurriedly, looking at Xie Rouhui.
"It's okay, I know, he can do whatever he likes." Xie Rouhui smiled, "You get in the car." ”
Lao Haimu responded gratefully, and got into the carriage with the support of the two little guys.
Xie Rouhui looked at the street where there was no longer a figure of Brother An and smiled.
Boy, you can't escape my palms.
……………………………………
"Miss."
"Miss!"
Looking at the girls who got off the carriage and accepted the kneeling cheers of the miners, Xie Rouqing, who was standing on the mountain road on crutches, looked blank.
Xie Rouhui also saw her, her eyes showed a little surprise, and she turned her head sideways and said a few words to Xie Yao on the side, Xie Yao also looked at her, with a little sneer, and pointed to Xie Rouqing's legs and the crutches and giggled.
"Third sister." Xie Rouhui shouted with a smile and beckoned to her, "Come, let's go home." ”
Xie Rouqing glanced at her, turned around and walked on crutches.
Miss.
Miss.
She slammed her cane on the ground with one step at a time, clenching her teeth.
This ridiculous Xie family.
For the first time, she hated herself for walking too slowly, and she couldn't let go of the hustle and bustle behind her.
"Miss."
Shui Ying drove the ox from the front and shouted.
Xie Rouqing raised her head and looked over, but her expression was stunned, and she tensed up in disbelief.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a girl standing in the forest on her left.
Xie Rouqing was numb, and her body trembled and sat on the ground.
Oh my God, oh my God.
She didn't dare to turn her head or bow her head, so she was stunned with her neck straight.
"What's wrong with her?" Xie Yao's voice came from behind him, "Can't walk and fall?" ”
"Can't walk?" Xie Rouhui's voice was faint, and she was a little surprised, "It's been half a year since she walked like this, how could she suddenly fall?" Did you see something scary? ”
Xie Rouqing shuddered, raised his hand and smashed the cane in his hand into the mountain rock beside the road.
The crutches were thrown and flew into the woods.
"Miss!" Shui Ying was startled and shouted.
Xie Rouqing was already struggling to stand up on her own.
"I can go." She said angrily, pushing away Shui Ying, who was supporting, "Leave me alone." ”
But she couldn't get up, and some wolves fell again.
Behind him, Xie Yao's laughter suddenly sounded.
"Oh, eldest miss, third lady is playing with her temper."
"Miss, our third sister has always been very face-saving and competitive, and she is still like this if she loses a leg."
Xie Rouhui smiled, glanced at the girl who was fluttering like a fish out of water on the mountain road, and turned her eyes away.
"Okay, let's get busy, go to work well, and get out of the sand." She said with a smile.
"Miss, Miss."
The miners kowtowed and shouted excitedly.
Xie Rouqing had already been helped up by Shui Ying, and the hustle and bustle behind her could not be heard at all at this moment, her heart was beating like a drum, trembling all over, and she looked at the forest with Shui Ying's support.
In the forest, Xie Roujia leaned against the tree, shook a piece of grass in her hand, and smiled at her.
I don't know if it's because of the clothes or what, but it seems that she is one with the grass and trees, and the smile is like the sunlight shining through the forest.
This fool! This madman!
Looking at her laughter, and then listening to the hustle and bustle behind her, Xie Rouqing's back tingled. (To be continued......)
