Chapter 31 Sending Off
The re-substitution made everyone postpone getting on board.
Xie Roujia stood by the river and watched the passenger boat, this time the Xie family set off alone, and there was no Dongping County King and no officials from the Ministry of Rites to greet him, so it was not like driving away the idle people on the dock when he came to the capital.
Although they can do this now with the emperor's gift, Xie Wenxing thinks that the current Xie family has no need to use this method to strengthen their momentum.
Therefore, the pier is very busy in the evening, and there are many vendors selling baskets.
"Shao Mingqing, Shao Mingqing." Xie Roujia said, stretching out her hand and pointing to a small boat selling fried dried fish not far away, "Let's buy that one and try it..."
turned around, but didn't see Shao Mingqing.
"The young master has gone to the ship." Shui Ying said, holding a fried cake in her hand and eating it.
"When did you buy it?" Xie Roujia asked.
"I didn't buy it." Shui Ying said, stretched out her finger and pointed to the side, "Brother Chenglin bought it for Jiangling." ”
Xie Roujia looked over and saw that Jiang Ling was talking to a young guard with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was still holding an oiled paper bag in his hand.
The guard called Cheng Lin was one of the four guards that Master Shao gave to Shao Mingqing since he escorted the Phoenix Bloodstone, and he was also the one who accompanied Jiang Ling, who was seasick, on the land route according to his instructions when he entered Beijing.
Xie Roujia looked at them with interest, and Jiang Ling heard Shui Ying's words and walked over with a red face.
"What did you buy for me, it's obvious that you saw that people bought fried cakes and asked people for it." She said with disgust.
Shui Ying licked her fingers.
"That's why he asked if he wanted to eat it first, if he didn't buy it for you, why did he ask this?" She said vaguely.
Jiang Ling glared.
"I'm going to eat it too." Xie Roujia said with a smile.
Jiang Ling blushed. Stuff the oiled paper bag in her hand.
Xie Roujia didn't tease her anymore.
"Would you like to go just overland?" She asked, taking the fried cake.
"This period of care has improved a lot, and the doctor also prescribed medicine to eat. It should be fine, I'll try again. Jiang Ling said. The young lady brought me to Beijing to serve, but I made the young lady worried. ”
"My greatest wish in life is not to let you serve me." Xie Roujia said.
If other ladies said this, the girls would be scared half to death, Jiang Ling looked at the joy on the face of the little girl in front of her and the love in her eyes, and was inexplicably a little sad.
It's as if they've suffered a lot, and now they're finally suffering.
To say that it is bitter is also bitter for a while, but it is not very sad when you think about it carefully.
"Okay, I'll be a good person for others to serve." Jiang Ling said with a smile.
Xie Roujia smiled and nodded.
"When you go back, you will talk about your family affairs, and let others serve you in the future." She said.
Jiang Linggang's calm face suddenly turned red again.
"What is not a family matter." She said. A little twisted and a little calm, "I haven't said anything, why are you pro-family!" ”
Xie Roujia grinned.
"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it well." She said.
Jiang Ling looked at her and smiled.
"Miss, how old are you, don't always talk about family affairs in front of people." She said with disgust.
Xie Roujia smiled but said nothing, there was a commotion on the dock, and people came to report that Princess Xianrong was coming.
Xie Wenxing hurriedly took Xie Rouhui and Xie Roujia over and looked at Princess Xianrong who got off the carriage.
"Master Xie, get busy. The main palace is to send the eldest lady in its own capacity......" Princess Xianrong said, her voice was a little reluctant to say this, "Send the eldest lady and the second miss." ”
In fact, the Queen Mother and the Queen Force forced her to come because of the second lady.
Thinking of this, Princess Xianrong was both hated and ashamed.
That day, I saw the two young ladies dancing in the temple and kneeling down and falling asleep. Although it was suppressed by the emperor and there was no rumor, it was spread all over the palace.
Princess Xianrong woke up and didn't quite know how it happened, but now she thinks about it. I just remember seeing a mountain, and it was the mountain that weighed her down.
". If you want me to kneel for you, I will kneel. If I kneel down to others because I said this wrong, I will not kneel to show honor! ”
She remembered what she had said, and then she knelt down, no doubt admitting that she was wrong.
In the past few days, she has been ridiculed everywhere in the palace, and hiding is not something she will do, so she can only grit her teeth and endure it.
Xie Wenxing left as he said, and Princess Xianrong stood on the dock with Xie Rouhui and Xie Roujia to talk.
"You, will you do those?" She looked at Xie Rouhui who was standing beside her and asked in a low voice.
Although she was not hurt too much, she heard that Fang Ziyuan was trapped by nightmares and couldn't sleep at night, and recently she couldn't even look at women anymore.
Watching the dance can see the nightmare and lose her mind, it must be the means of these two young ladies.
This is witchcraft.
My sister is so powerful, so as the sister of the future Dan Lord, she must be even more powerful.
Xie Rouhui lowered her gaze.
"It's all my fault for frightening the princess." She said.
There is no denial or acknowledgment, but it feels tacit.
Princess Hsien Rong interrupted her.
"What does this have to do with you, you will do this, and I haven't seen you hurt anyone." She said.
Speaking of which, he looked at Xie Roujia.
"It's really wicked."
Xie Roujia stood aside and didn't seem to hear or see her.
Princess Xianrong had the heart to scold, but she still had palpitations when she remembered the events of that day.
She is frank, but she can't stand the evil thoughts of others.
"Let's go to your boat and talk." Princess Xianrong didn't want to be here, "I brought you a lot of gifts. ”
Xie Rouhui's expression was a little sneering.
"My boat hasn't been packed yet." She said.
Princess Xianrong was stunned, looking at the three boats on the dock, the big ship had been packed, the other was a cargo ship, and the other small boat was busy carrying boxes and cages, and there were servants and girls coming and going, obviously a boat for female dependents.
"You, how are you on that boat?" She immediately reacted and asked in surprise.
Xie Rouhui smiled.
"It's all the same." She said.
It's weird! Isn't it because of the emperor's gift? Treat the eldest sister like this!
Princess Xianrong raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Roujia.
"What a bully!" She shouted.
Xie Rouhui hurriedly pulled Princess Xianrong and whispered that there was nothing to do. Princess Xianrong became more and more angry.
"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is often related." She raised an eyebrow and shouted. "We who are frank and generous will only be bullied by these treacherous people."
Xie Roujia looked at her and smiled.
"The princess is really joking." She said. looked at Princess Xianrong, "You care so much about whether others like you or not, and care so much about whether others compliment you, how can you be a frank and generous person?" ”
He smiled and pointed to himself.
"I am a really frank and generous person, such as princess, whether you like me or not, I don't care if you can afford or look down on me."
Princess Xianrong's face turned green, and Xie Rouhui hurriedly grabbed her.
"Princess, Princess, my boat is packed. I also have some gifts for you. She pleaded in a low voice.
Although Princess Xianrong wanted to slap Xie Roujia, she also knew that she could only think about it.
There are four words given by the emperor, even the princess and the prince can't do anything to her.
Fortunately, not all the people in the Xie family were so arrogant, she took a few deep breaths, and could only follow Xie Rouhui's steps to the boat with her.
Xie Roujia stuck out her tongue at their backs.
A chuckle sounded behind him.
Because of the presence of Princess Xianrong, the people around were driven away, who of the people had the courage to laugh?
Xie Roujia hurriedly turned around, and the king of Dongping, who was dressed in a royal blue muslin shirt, broke into her sight.
She couldn't help but sigh and ran over quickly.
"Your Highness. How did you get here? She asked.
The little girl's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled.
A smile also appeared on the mouth of the king of Dongping.
"I'll see you off." He said.
Xie Roujia sighed.
"How dare you do that?" She said, looking around.
"I will take you into Beijing, and I will naturally send you when I leave Beijing, and I will start and finish well." Dongping County King said. Seeing her twist her head and look, "Looking for what?" ”
Xie Roujia grinned.
"Why isn't there a guard of honor?" She said, her gaze turned to the king of Dongping County again. "I almost don't recognize Your Highness, and I will treat it as an uncle."
This little girl still has a broken heart about that incident.
The king of Dongping County smiled widely.
"For the second lady who is frank, His Royal Highness and Uncle are the same." He said.
He heard Princess Qi Xianrong's words just now. Xie Roujia was a little sneering.
"Oh yes." She looked up sharply at the thought of something, "I have something to say to you." ”
The king of Dongping looked at her with a solemn face. He looked left and right again, and stood beside him.
The little girl's size had just reached his chest, and she was a little sneaky when she came over, and she looked playful and funny.
He chuckled and bowed his head slightly to show that he was listening.
Shao Mingqing, who was standing on the boat and saw the king of Dongping and was about to walk quickly, saw this scene, and Sifu stopped for a moment.
Xie Roujia lowered her voice and said Zhou Chengzhen's matter without concealment, of course, Zhou Chengzhen's crazy words at the end were still hidden.
"What do you think he's trying to do? Why sue me for this? She asked.
The little girl's expression was solemn and stern, and there was fear in her eyes that could not be hidden, but this did not affect her appearance, her eyes were larger, and the corners of her eyebrows were raised.
This is a bit similar to Zhou Chengzhen, born with a charming atmosphere.
Witches are all beautiful, and seduction is one of their essential skills.
Although I don't know how Wu Qing looked back then, it can be seen from the face of this little girl that the Dan girls of the Xie family in the past generations must be good-looking.
has a good appearance and a pure mind, which is inevitable for any man, not to mention that she has such a family background.
However, if the little girl knew that this was the case, it would be much better to let her think that it was a conspiracy.
Dongping Junwang plastic surgery.
"It's okay, he just said it first because he knew he couldn't hide it." He said, "Didn't we guess what he said? Nothing out of the ordinary. ”
Xie Roujia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again.
"Yes, yes, yes." She said.
"Don't be afraid, he has no chance to kidnap you now." Dongping County King said.
Xie Roujia nodded again.
Like a chicken eating rice, the king of Dongping County smiled slightly.
"Every day, he finds a chance to pester you again, you have a clear mind, he can't bewitch you first, and secondly, you haven't reached the point where you don't want you to die, as for fake hands." He said, looking at the little girl raising her head and shining eyes, "He can't beat you either, so you don't have to be afraid of him." ”
Yes, Xie Roujia nodded and laughed, and stood up straight with a sigh of relief.
But what he said also meant that Zhou Chengzhen would still pester her in the future, if she was afraid of this person, even if what he said was true, she would still be afraid when she saw him.
In fact, his words mean nothing.
Why did she get reassurance, and the fear hidden in her eyes really dispersed.
All she needs is to comfort her herself, or just want to talk to him?
After all, about Zhou Chengzhen, they were the first to exchange common secrets.
This is trust, and let's rely on it.
The king of Dongping County was slightly dull in his heart, stretched out his hand and touched her head, and the person who made the action was also stunned.
She's not his cat......
His body stiffened, but he immediately calmed down, withdrew his hand and smiled indifferently.
"Alright, have a nice trip." He said.
His eyes were bright, and his expression was elegant and graceful.
She really thinks of herself as her elder.
Even if she is an elder, she is already thirteen, and she will be fourteen in half a year, and even the fifth uncle will no longer touch her head now.
Xie Roujia discussed that she wanted to complain a few words, looking at the expression of the king of Dongping County, and felt that she was a little angry and ignorant if she complained, so she had to curtsied.
"If you have anything to do in the future, you can write to me." Dongping County King said.
Xie Roujia sighed, and then reacted to what he said, and before he was about to speak, the king of Dongping looked over there and smiled.
"Your family has come to urge you to board the ship, and I take my leave." He said.
Xie Roujia hurriedly turned around and looked, and when she saw Shao Mingqing coming over with a smile, she hurriedly waved at him, and then turned around to see that the king of Dongping had already walked away.
She sighed twice, the king of Dongping didn't seem to hear it, and after walking a few steps, four or five guards appeared out of nowhere and followed him, and the figures staggered and blocked the sight, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.
As silent as he was when he appeared.
"Why is Your Highness here?" Shao Mingqing approached and asked, "Are you here to see you off?" ”
"He said he was here to see me off." Xie Roujia said, telling him about the conversation with Shicai, "Do you still need to talk to the eldest master?" ”
Shao Mingqing laughed when he heard this.
"No, that's for you." He smiled, "Okay, now that we're done, let's get on the boat." ”
Went home.
Xie Roujia took a deep breath and looked back behind her.
"Okay, get on the boat, go home." She said.
