Chapter 222: Complete Break (4,000 Words)
When it was almost a fork in the road, Shu Yao tied a dart bag to Shu Jie's waist, the darts inside were all quenched, the soft sword around his waist was also quenched, and the baggage handed over was also a variety of convenient porcelain medicine balls: "Big brother, throw it hard when you meet those people, don't waste time with them." ”
Shujie nodded, he had to complete "loyalty" and "righteousness" for his father as quickly as possible, and then rush back, at this time, who would provoke him and hinder him, he was not in the mood to play "narrow sense".
Xia Linxuan looked at Shujie lovingly: "Be careful on the road, don't underestimate the enemy at any time." He knew that Dao Shujie had taken the marrow washing fruit, and he also knew that his Shadowless Palm and Shadowless Sword Technique had been practiced, and he could easily gain the upper hand by holding a weak woman to fight against the White Lotus Gongzi, and in this world, there should be no two people who can defeat Shujie.
"Dad," Shujie choked up, "don't worry. ”
He wanted to say, "You'll wait for me to come back," but... If it's painful, he'd rather dad... Don't hold on any longer.
Shujie flew away, and the motorvoy entered Yulin Town and went directly to the summer house.
Xia Linxuan wanted to go directly to the White Monkey Mountain cemetery, Shu Yao patiently comforted: "Dad, you can experience it yourself, your spirit is still fine, rest at home first, Yao'er asked people to build a thatched hut in front of the grave of her mother and eldest mother, soon." You live in it and talk to them, don't you? ”
Jin Xida also comforted: "Yes, Tingwei, don't you want to talk to Rou'er?" I'm with you, and now that the weather is starting to get hot, we enjoy enjoying the coolness of the mountains. ”
Xia Linxuan knew that Lu Dao's children and Jin Xida felt sorry for him, and he also felt that his spirit seemed to be able to last for a few days, and he still wanted to wait for the news that his eldest son had arrived in Beijing safely. Although Shujie is strong in martial arts. There are mountains beyond the mountains. There are people outside of people. How could he not be worried?
When the Xia family heard that Xia Linxuan was not dead, and now that he was back, they rushed to come, but unfortunately there were palace guards and twenty guards brought by Ah Feng to guard them layer by layer, and only the patriarch and the fifth grandfather were able to enter the door. Not to mention the clansmen, even Yang Yishan, who rushed to the house after hearing the news, was stopped outside the mansion, and Shunzi's father-in-law only said that Xia Linxuan was sick and could not be disturbed. Yang County Ling didn't dare to say much.
A few people in the Xia Mansion began to bluff at the guards, saying that it was their own brother who was sick.
Xia Linxuan came back to let them see a glimmer of hope, the three of Shujie were too young and had no scruples, but Xia Linxuan didn't dare to be unscrupulous, didn't he? Xia Linxuan had just come back and was sick again, and it was expected that the three little rabbit cubs would not say anything to him, but now that Shujie didn't know where he went, could they still take advantage of this time to tie themselves to the downwind boat of the Xia Mansion? Looking at that formation, Xia Linxuan must be so sick that he is dying, and when he knows what to say, it's too late, right?
Pity. It's a beautiful idea, and you have to go to the summer house! Those guards with dead faces didn't pay attention to them at all. Father-in-law Shunzi looked at them with contempt as if he was a flower child, Xia Ruoxue, the former second lady of the Anguo Mansion, couldn't stand it anymore and fled.
The patriarch and the fifth grandfather were stunned when they saw Xia Linxuan, this is sick and dying? Shu Yao explained on the side that Xia Linxuan was extremely injured.
The two patriarchs are both smart people, seeing that the three Shujie brothers went to pick up the seriously injured Xia Linxuan back by secret order, and Gao Mingde, the "miracle doctor" of the Great Zhou, took care of them on the side, guarding them at all levels, and they also had their own conjectures in their hearts. Not only did he not mention a word about Xia Linxuan's whereabouts in the past few years, but he didn't even ask where Shujie went, but he just comforted Xia Linxuan to recuperate.
Of course, when they went out, the patriarch and the fifth grandfather didn't dare to say a word about Xia Linxuan's condition, and they were consistent with the words of Shunzi's father-in-law: If you are sick, you should not disturb.
Shu Jie was not there, so the two could only go to Shu Yao's sister and brother: "Your father is not dead, the coffin in the grave should be raised." ”
Shu Yao said: "Exactly, the eldest brother has already made arrangements, and we are about to discuss this matter with the patriarch grandfather and the fifth grandfather." ”
When the two patriarchs heard that Xia Zhai was going to build a thatched hut in the cemetery so that Xia Linxuan could guard the grave, they hurriedly gathered the young and strong clansmen to come over, and the neighbors on Xitang Street also put down their affairs and rushed to help.
In just one day, two simple but sturdy wooden huts were built, with thick thatched roofs. Carpenter Xu brought the newly beaten bed that was ready to be moved to the new home, and the nine-catty sister-in-law laid three layers of thick and soft new mattresses, and also made two large soft pillows with Ajuan's sister-in-law. They don't know what serious illness Xia Linxuan has, but it is always good to sleep comfortably, and the new house, new bed, new mattress and new pillow are auspicious, isn't it? Maybe the illness will be cured.
The coffin in Xia Linxuan's grave was raised, although he knew that it was a "bad person", the Xia family still found a wasteland and buried the coffin hastily.
The vacant grave was not filled, the patriarch and the fifth grandfather had seen Xia Linxuan, and knew that Uncle Rong was already buying a good coffin, and guessed that Xia Linxuan's time was running out, so he simply let the tomb be so empty, and it might be better to "rush".
Early the next morning after the wooden house was built, Xia Linxuan was put on a soft chair and carried to the White Monkey Mountain. Then the Xia family's cemetery was surrounded by guards again, and no one was allowed to approach except for the people of the Xia family, the patriarch, and the fifth grandfather.
The people in the entire Yulin town are telling the legendary story of Xia Linxuan's "resurrection from the dead", there are all kinds of speculations, and the most widely circulated one actually says that Xia Linxuan is a member of the emperor's dark power "Netherworld", four years ago, faked his death and went on a secret mission, and now he has retired and returned after being seriously injured.
This kind of rumor frightened Zhen Dafu and Zhen Kebao, who had just arrived in Yulin Town. The ancestor worship ceremony of Zhilu Dao Xia Mansion will be very grand, and the surrounding officials will come, and Zhen Dafu has long wanted to come to put the score of "uncle".
Fortunately, Zhen Kebao and Zhu are more sensible, and Zhen Kebao has been in the capital for more than two months, and he knows that his own music can't take any advantage. Calculating the time, the ancestor worship ceremony was almost completed, and the three Shujie brothers and sisters were ready to return to Beijing, so they came to see them off. Zhu's proposition is to slowly approach, gradually "naturally" increase contacts, and gradually dilute the impact of the rumors that the Zhen Mansion publicly announced that it had severed relations with Donnie Yen and that "the Xia Mansion sold its niece".
Who would have thought that as soon as he stepped into Yulin Town, he heard that Xia Linxuan was not dead. It's back.
There were also people who recognized them and said with a smile: "Xia Zhutou is now a meritorious man." You have tried to sell his sons and daughters. Dare to come back now? Aren't you afraid that he will chop you up? ”
Zhen Dafu was once beaten by Xia Linxuan, and he was never afraid of this brother-in-law. If it weren't for Xia Linxuan's "death", no matter how much he wanted to talk to Murong Mansion, he wouldn't have dared to do those things back then. Now that Xia Linxuan has been "resurrected", can the unforgiving little mouths of the Shu Yao sisters and brothers not sue? At this moment, not to mention what kind of "hero" Xia Linxuan is, even if he is a first-class master, he doesn't dare to come to the door to find a fight.
Because of this rumor, there are more and more people in the Xia Mansion. They all know that Gao Mingde, the Taoist miracle doctor, is "personally diagnosing and treating" Xia Linxuan, and looking at so many guards guarding them, isn't this the great grace of the royal family? If it weren't for the great merit of the second child, he could get this kind of grace?
Xia Linyu's two brothers and Xia Ruoxue supported Mrs. Xia, the mother-in-law, to visit Xia Linxuan on the White Monkey Mountain. People with good things and gossip immediately spread the news, and a large number of people flocked to see the excitement, what a "loving and generous" mother-in-law!
Xia Linxuan had long known from Jin Xida that Xia Fu's various calculations against the three Shujie brothers and sisters over the years, how could he be moved by such a clumsy trick? Four years ago, he was not a soft bun, otherwise he would not have spent a thousand taels of silver. Compared with Shujie, he naturally has more scruples.
But. Those people in Xia Mansion miscalculated a little, precisely because of these scruples. Xia Linxuan will not be polite to them now, otherwise wouldn't he leave the troubles and "scruples" to his children? He is a dying man, what reputation, scruples and so on are he afraid of? I can't wait to take all the "no's" on myself, and settle all the relationships with these people before I die.
Mrs. Xia's face was full of tears, and she "earnestly" begged the guards: "You let me go in to see the second child, please, I am his mother-in-law, and I have loved him the most since I was a child!" ”
Everyone in the audience was about to be moved, how to say that they were all grandmothers, and they ran to the mountains to visit in person at a young age, and the people who watched were distressed, and those who heard were sad!
After all, it's not that the summer house has layers of walls, it's just that the guards are blocking people, and the sound still comes in.
Shuwen was furious, and was about to stand up and rush out, but was stopped by Xia Linxuan: "With your father, what are you impatient?" It's a shame that your eldest brother also said that you are a lot more stable, such an irritable temperament. ”
Xia Linxuan had just used the decoction not long ago, and drank a cup of ginseng tea brewed by Shu Yao, and he was in good spirits at this time: "Carry me out, I don't want them to disturb your mother's peace here." ”
Xia Ruoxue was secretly amazed by her mother's acting skills, and looked at the mocking eyes around her with some sympathy, and hurriedly added another fire: "Brothers, please, I heard that my second brother is seriously ill, and my mother can't eat or sleep for the past two days, although the second brother is not my mother's biological son, but he grew up in front of his mother, and my mother has always regarded it as her own." ”
"Treat it as your own? Isn't it biological? Wasn't it changed by my aunt? Xia Ruoxue, in order to prove that we are brothers and sisters with the same father and mother, you have done so many things, and you have been given back by the Anguo Mansion, why, now you have given up? ”
Xia Ruoxue, who was about to wipe her eyes with a handkerchief again to create the effect of "tears like rain", was shocked by the cold voice and cold tone.
The people around were stunned: Isn't Xia Zhutou a concubine, what is "biological"? What "makes the bad change"?
Of course, more people's attention was on the sentence "was suspended", and suddenly realized: "No wonder, what do you say about being virtuous and generous, and invite yourself to go to court?" It turned out that he had done something bad and was suspended. ”
Xia Ruoxue returned to Yulin, and the reason why the people in the town heard about it was that the second master of the Anguo Mansion saved the famous lady, but it damaged the reputation of the other party, Xia Ruoxue invited herself to leave the court and leave her hometown. Despite some suspicions, most people are kind and sympathetic.
At this moment, the fig leaf was "cruelly" torn off, Xia Ruoxue surged up with a mouthful of blood, and was forced to go down again.
Before and after she got married, she never had any intersection with Xia Linxuan, and she almost never spoke. However, in the image, this cousin is shy and doesn't like words, I didn't expect his words to be so hurtful! She couldn't see anyone in the capital, so she hid in Yulin, is it still the same?
Mrs. Xia and Brother Xia Linyu were also stunned, since the incident of the scholar's birth, Xia Linxuan was furious, and the family separated, their attitude towards them has always been cold, but they are still polite and thoughtful, and they have many scruples about speaking and doing things. Moreover, Xia Linxuan's speech was never harsh. Today this is ......
Mrs. Xia, who felt sorry for her daughter, couldn't care about pretending to be kind and sad at this time, and roared angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Ah Xue is and separated, what is the Hugh? Ah Xue is your sister, why are you so vicious? You're ......."
Before he finished speaking, he found that the people around him were scrambling to see something? Then one after another exclaimed:
"I see...... Why is this family embarrassed to come? I just thought this old lady was pitiful. ”
"It's too vicious, seeing that the three brothers and sisters are having a better life, in order to take advantage, they can think of such a vicious method, and they are not afraid of retribution!"
"No wonder it was suspended! Tsk, I'm embarrassed to go around saying that I invited myself to go to court! What a shame! ”
……
The two little guys were handing out a few pieces of paper in their hands, and the people who got them read it and passed it on to others, and the illiterate people eagerly asked about the contents of the paper......
The patriarch and several clan elders who had just arrived after hearing the news also grabbed one and looked at it, and their faces were flushed with anger after reading it: What a sin, this Xia Mansion family is really evil! Is this going to ruin the reputation of their Xia family?
A clansman suddenly shouted: "Expelle them from the clan, there are such vicious people in our Xia family, who will dare to marry our Xia family in the future?" ”
"That's it," someone next to him immediately chimed in, "my brother's family is in trouble, and he doesn't pay attention to it, and he even comes to the door to ask for the yard, and he stops when he is struck by lightning; The three children finally started a small business, and immediately went to the door to frame someone for stealing the secret recipe; Seeing that other people are out of business, and they want to hide from the world so viciously, and use the identity of the so-called close relatives and elders to occupy other people's things, how can there be such a shameless family in this world? Is it not looked down upon to be a clansman with such a person? ”
In an uproar, all the old things were lifted out in an uproar, and the people who had some pity for Mrs. Xia's mother-in-law had no "sympathy" at the moment, and all joined the team of accusations and accusations.
Especially the people of the Xia family, they are afraid that their children will be dragged down, and the call for "driving the Xia family out of the family" is getting louder and louder.
Several people in Xia Mansion were stunned and stood on the spot.
Shu Yao's sister and brother were secretly cool behind Xia Linxuan, when Uncle Rong and Aunt Dong came back with several copied confessions on the street, Shu Yao casually put them in the mahogany box. I didn't want to do anything at the time, I just put it away, and a stack of paper didn't take up much space anyway, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Of course, the words that their sisters and brothers told their father and stepfather was that Shuwen was casually stuffed into the pile of books at that time, and the people of Xiafu came to the door every day two days ago, and Shuwen happened to be found in the book brought back to Yulin, so he brought it to the mountain, in case the people of Xiafu came to the door to make trouble again.
Xia Linxuan said coldly: "It is up to the patriarch and clan elders to decide whether they want to leave the clan or not, but I, Xia Linxuan, hereby publicly declare that our clan will have nothing to do with them from now on, and will be regarded as strangers." My children must keep this in mind, or they will be disowned from me as a father. (To be continued......)
