Chapter 12: Disembarkation
When there was a commotion outside, Xie Roujia was talking to Shui Ying in the cabin.
"It's much better for JMC to go by land, right?" She asked.
Because he wanted to speed up the boat to find and catch up with them, Shao Mingqing arranged for someone to accompany Jiang Ling by land.
"Yes, the news came the day before yesterday that it was much better, and we will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow to meet us." Shui Ying said.
I didn't expect Jiangling to be so seasick, so in the last life, was it because I had to take care of others and couldn't take care of myself? If you have no one else to rely on, can you rely on yourself?
Xie Roujia sighed for a moment.
Although I am worried about Jiangling, I am still very happy that she does not have to support her alone in this life, and there are so many people to help worry about taking care of her.
Outside, firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out, overshadowing Shui Ying's voice, and Shao Mingqing pushed the door in.
"The eldest lady is getting off the ship."
Xie Roujia said when she saw his mouth shape.
The doors and windows were closed tightly, and the noise was much quieter.
"Let's wait before we get off the boat." Shao Mingqing sat down and said.
Before Xie Roujia could speak, the door was pushed open again, and the noise poured in with Xie Wenxing.
"Jiajia, the carriage and horses are all prepared for you." Xie Wenxing said, looking at Xie Roujia's clothes or old clothes, "Didn't the new clothes and jewelry be sent?" ”
"It's delivered, I'll change it at the post station, and I don't have to walk in front of people anyway." Xie Roujia said.
A little guilt appeared on Xie Wenxing's face.
"I've wronged you." He said.
Xie Roujia smiled.
"No grievances, what's wrong with this." She said.
Xie Wenxing smiled again.
"Yes, our Jiajia just understands things." He laughed. "It's all arranged in the post station, you can rest first, and then go to play wherever you want."
Xie Roujia hummed, and Xie Wenxing turned his head again and told Shao Mingqing.
"Master, don't worry, go and arrange for the eldest lady to get off the boat to be greeted." Shao Mingqing interrupted him and smiled, with a bit of meaning, "You know what you want, Miss Roujia." ”
For Shao Mingqing's joke, Xie Wenxing's expression remained unchanged, and his smile was still the same, and he took the trouble to tell a few words before he turned around, and the door was pushed open by someone.
"Sir. The people of the king of Dongping are coming. The steward said hurriedly.
The king of Dongping? Hasn't he gotten off the boat and into the city? After he left, the Xie family's talents put on a pomp and disembarked.
"What's the matter?" Xie Wenxing hurriedly asked. One side walks outward.
He meant to go out and speak, but the steward stood still.
"My lord, His Royal Highness's people asked the second lady if she wanted to go to the post station with her first, and they happened to pass by the post station. By the way, send the second lady over. The big man can be less worried. Take care of a lot of things with peace of mind. He said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.
Xie Wenxing was overjoyed.
I didn't expect this kind of good thing to be delivered to the door.
"Hurry up and tell the second lady to get off the boat." He said, and stopped the steward. "I'll go and say in person, you guys quickly pack up and send the second lady off the boat."
Seeing Xie Wenxing and the steward leave excitedly, Xie Roujia and Shao Mingqing glanced at each other.
"Your Highness is so good to you, is it because the prince is not good to you?" He laughed.
Because of Zhou Chengzhen's compensation? Probably not.
He's just good to people, Xie Roujia thought.
"Shall we go, then?" She asked, avoiding the topic of the prince.
Can you still say no? Is this girl stupid or bold?
Shao Mingqing looked at Xie Roujia and smiled a little, but felt in his heart that if she really said no, the king of Dongping County would not be surprised or displeased.
How good is it to this little girl? Because of the Xie family? Or there is Zhou Chengzhen.
I don't know what secret I achieved with Zhou Chengzhen, the little girl pretended to be stupid and refused to say it.
If you don't say it, don't say it, this secret must have nothing to do with her, it is nothing more than between the king of Dongping and Zhou Chengzhen.
"Go, of course." He said, "It's better to go back early to rest than to wait on the ship, and besides, it's his kindness, and the kindness must be understood." ”
…………………………
"This is a kindness to the Xie family." Xie Wenxing looked at Xie Roujia who got off the boat, his eyes fell on the servant who led the way, and he couldn't help but be even more excited, "Look, look, that's the person from the Anding Palace." ”
It stands to reason that after entering Beijing, the task of the king of Dongping was completed, and he was responsible for the Xie family's own etiquette department, but the king of Dongping still took the initiative to take care of the arrangements, and also used the people of the palace to settle down.
Thinking of this, I sighed again.
"This is a kindness to the Xie family."
Xie Rouhui kept watching, but when she heard this, she looked away, and the cheers of the eldest lady in her ears became dull and boring.
Taking care of the Xie family along the way can be said to be a kindness to the Xie family, but now to personally escort Xie Roujia to the post station, it is not so simple as kindness to the Xie family.
This is a kindness to Xie Roujia.
It seems that when they walked together, they must have said that they would save people and be saved.
What do they say? That day, I learned from the girl in Jiangling that Xie Roujia didn't know who she was saving at all.
That stupid girl can't lie, and if she doesn't know, she won't know.
The one who opened his mouth to ask must be the king of Dongping County, how did he ask? And how did she answer?
Xie Rouhui suddenly regretted that when the rendezvous, she should have gone with Xie Wenxing to visit Xie Roujia.
A roar suddenly sounded in her ears, and Xie Rouhui, who was distracted, was so frightened that she shouted.
What's wrong?
The sheng flag is flying, the number plate is lined up, and a team of guards, with bright armor, emerges.
The crowd was dispersed and the main road was emptied.
The celebrant in a red shirt raised the leather whip in his hand.
A crisp sound echoed.
"The king of Dongping County has arrived."
The honor guard of the king of Dongping County!
The onlookers reacted and immediately rushed forward.
The king of Dongping County is famous, but he has always been low-key, and everyone in the capital rarely sees him, let alone under such a guard of honor.
The guards dispersed, followed by a long guard of honor, behind which a splendid carriage drove slowly, and in the summer the carriage was draped on all sides. You can faintly see the person inside.
This made the onlookers boil even more, and even the people gathered at the riverside pier were attracted to it.
"I saw the king of Dongping!"
"I saw it too! The king of Dongping is so good-looking! ”
"This carriage is so beautiful, too!"
"Well, there's a carriage in the back."
"Who's in the back?"
"It's a little girl!"
"Look, the king of Dongping County has brought a little girl."
The noise of the street came from outside the thin curtains, and countless eyes rushed to it.
Xie Roujia, who was sitting in the car, was a little dumbfounded.
Of course, I was not frightened by this scene, although the momentum of March 3 in Peng Shui was majestic, there were still a lot fewer onlookers.
This meeting only surprised her a little.
I didn't expect the king of Dongping County to have such a guard of honor, and no one said a word in advance, she thought that she was just following the king of Dongping County.
Seeing this noisy scene now, will her carriage be too close? In this way, I have become a person to be welcomed.
It wasn't just the onlookers who were amazed by the scene. The entourage of the king of Dongping County also showed a little surprise.
"It turns out that His Highness asked the palace to prepare. That's what I'm preparing. One of the attendants muttered, "Strange startled." ”
"What's so frightening, His Royal Highness is a guard of honor of this size, not to mention that he has returned from Beijing on behalf of the Son of Heaven." Another attendant said.
That's just as well.
"It's just that Your Highness has never been like this." The attendant sneered.
As we walked forward, the noise around us grew louder. The discussion also shifted to the honor guard, in addition to the Dongping County Wang's chariot, another carriage.
Xie Roujia was not in the carriage prepared by Xie Wenxing with a simple appearance and a luxurious interior. It was the carriage of the king of Dongping. It is simpler than the car of the king of the county, and it is also draped on all sides, and people can see the vague description of the people in the car during the journey.
Behind the wobbly gauze curtain at this time. A teenage girl appeared in everyone's sight.
Whose little girl can walk in the honor guard of the king of Dongping County?
A royal princess?
The crowd was surging again, crowding and talking, tiptoeing and watching.
The scribe beckoned a few of his attendants to come closer, whispered a few words to them, and a few of them dispersed, and in a short time the surrounding inquiries turned into surprises.
"It's the second lady of the Xie family."
"Who is Miss Xie Er?"
"It's the second lady of the Bashu Xie family."
"The second lady who dug up the Xiangrui Phoenix Bloodstone family?"
The name quickly spread, and the inquiring voice looked at the driver with curiosity.
"Miss Xie Er."
"Miss Xie Er!"
I don't know which one took the lead and shouted, and it was like a twist in the crowd, and it suddenly ignited.
Miss Xie Er!
Xie Roujia sat in the car and was even more surprised.
The people in the capital are shouting themselves, this is not Bashu, there are still people shouting about themselves, no, no, no one in Bashu calls her like this.
Miss Xie Er!
Xie Roujia smiled and reached out to lift the curtain.
A pretty little girl appeared in everyone's sight.
It was the first time to shout a little girl like this on the street, and everyone just shouted in the fun, relying on the crowd and not being punished and beaten by the guards, but I really didn't expect that the little girl who was shouted not only did not get angry, but lifted the curtain.
The onlookers couldn't help but be stunned.
The little girl stretched out her hand and waved, her eyebrows crooked and smiled.
There was a bang, as if a firecracker had been thrown in the crowd.
"Miss Xie Er!"
"Miss Xie Er!"
Listening to the hustle and bustle behind them, the entourage of King Dongping couldn't help but look back.
"That little girl is really bold." One of the attendants said stunned.
If this was another little girl, she would have been ashamed of the onlookers, where could she still lift the curtain for everyone to see, let alone wave and smile at everyone.
Not to mention the little girl, he can't do it as a big man.
"That's the little girl of the Xie family." The scribe smiled, "Don't forget what the scene was on the third day of March in Pengshui. ”
The entourage groaned.
"Oh no, it's the eldest lady on March 3." One of the attendants came back to his senses and said.
yes.
Scribe twisted beard.
"As the younger sister of the eldest lady, the second lady is naturally also very powerful." He said.
The hustle and bustle behind him was like waves, and the car of the king of Dongping County, who was walking in front, faded out of everyone's sight.
"It's amazing." The attendant said, looking back, "Your Highness's guard of honor has become hers." ”
A smile tugged at the corner of the scribe's mouth.
Silly child, I just knew, it was originally for her.
……………………………………
I don't know how long I stood at the bow of the ship, but the noise in the distance didn't seem to have dissipated.
"Miss, get off the boat."
A steward plucked up his courage and stepped forward and said.
"Everybody's ready."
You ready? It's called what to get ready.
Xie Rouhui's eyes looked at the dock, and there were hundreds of people standing on the dock, all of them excited.
Agitated.
These are all people from the Xie family's sand line, and for them, it is natural for them to be excited to see the eldest lady.
The scene that the Xie family wanted was not to show it to themselves, but to let others see it.
But what about the others now?
Xie Rouhui bit her lower lip, and the people who were originally looking for excitement were attracted away by the honor guard of the king of Dongping County.
Not only that, but those people also shouted that the second miss was gone, and the follower second miss was gone.
Second Miss.
This time, the second lady can also stir up such a lively scene.
What is there to be proud of, nothing to be proud of.
used to pretend to be the eldest lady, but now it's just the king of Dongping County.
Xie Rouhui exhaled deeply.
"Let's go." She said.
