Chapter 253: Traveling (5)
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Xia Jingqing walked out of the yard with her waist bent, regardless of whether the direction was right or wrong, anyway, she ran in the opposite direction of the group.
While running to find the way back to Zhuangzi, it was finally clear that the group of people had already found out that something was wrong and chased them out.
Xia Jingqing ran with his legs, walked through the woods, walked through the dirt road, fell unsteadily under his feet a few times, he didn't dare to stop, and climbed with his hands and feet with a rolling belt, until Zhuangzi got closer and closer, and those people didn't dare to chase him, he was out of danger.
After entering Zhuangzi and knowing that Xiang Cong had been carried back, Xia Jingqing's heart finally let go.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
Immortal jumping this kind of thing, not to mention a boudoir woman like Xia Huqing, even Zhen Xuan, the bride, is extremely unfamiliar.
Mrs. Zheng said nothing with a calm face, and the old ancestor was also full of worries.
Xia Jingqing was alone, patted his chest a few times, and sighed: "It's really scared to death, I didn't rob people's women, how can there be women in this world who rob people's men." ”
It was obviously a heavy atmosphere, and as soon as Xia Jingqing said this, his face couldn't hold back, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
The eldest master slapped Xia Jingqing on the back of the head: "What did the dead boy say!" If you dare to do that kind of thing, I won't beat you to death! ”
Xia Jingqing touched his brain and said, "Thanks to my cleverness, I kicked the thief away with one kick and picked up the money bag and came back, otherwise it would fall into the hands of those people, wouldn't it become a handle?" ”
"That's the trouble you caused!"
"How can it be me? Whose family is the third! Xia Jingqing was dissatisfied, and after complaining, he realized that something was wrong, so he shut up and kept silent.
Xia Huqing wanted to ask Xia Jingqing a few more words. Zhen Xuan glanced at her. Motioned for her to remain silent.
The whole thing. From what Xia Jingqing just said, he can already figure it out, but he doesn't know what grievances the people behind the scenes have.
The big man and the woman didn't know whose money they received, and they wanted the immortals to jump in and ruin the reputation of the third master. Dahan said that he saw Xia Jingqing go out of the Zhuangzi so he got a mistake, so the person they originally wanted to harm should be Xia Suqing, the third master of the Xia family, but they didn't expect to catch Xia Jingqing.
The people of the Xia family knew that no one in the second room had traveled with the ancestor this time, but the people outside did not know, so they put an oolong.
Zhen Xuan thought about this clearly. Naturally, he couldn't hide it from the old ancestor and Mrs. Zheng.
It's just that Xia Suqing has a gentle personality and an excellent temper, and he never scolds his subordinates loudly, so who wants to hurt him like this?
Zhen Xuan lowered her eyes, and had a vague idea in her heart, but there was no evidence for this kind of thing, it couldn't be said nonsense, it could only exist in her heart.
The old ancestor seemed to be extremely tired, and waved his hand: "Nothing is good." Jing Qing is thrilling this day, go back to sleep early. I asked Yi Yi to bring the convulsive soup to you. After saying this, the old ancestor turned his head and said to Mrs. Zheng again, "Let's go back tomorrow, out of such a state, I really have no intention of having fun." ”
According to the plan, the ancestor will live in Zhuangzi for another three or five days, and then Xia Yiqing will pick him up and go back to the house together. However, today's change has occurred, and I haven't determined who is responsible for it, so I naturally want to go back as soon as possible, and it is convenient to inquire around.
Mrs. Zheng replied respectfully: "It's okay, my daughter-in-law will ask Xie Peiwang to prepare the carriage and horses tomorrow." ”
Old Mrs. Zheng was about to withdraw with the children, but the old ancestor suddenly stopped Zhen Xuan and said, "Daughter-in-law Yiqing, Yiqing is not here at night, so you can come over to accompany the old woman." ”
Although Zhen Xuan was surprised why the old ancestor left her alone, she didn't dare to show it on her face, and said, "The great-granddaughter-in-law will come over when she goes back to pack up." ”
When she returned to the house, Tao Aya heard that she was going to spend the night in the ancestral house, but she didn't ask much, and after grooming Zhen Xuan, she went with the packed futon together.
The old ancestor had just cleaned his face, sat down on the edge of the bed with Mama Gui's hand, and when he saw Zhen Xuan coming, he said with a smile: "Yiqing's daughter-in-law can sleep in the blue gauze cupboard, so she can talk to me." ”
Tao Aya made the bed, and after Zhen Xuan lay down, Mama Gui served the ancestor well, blew the lamp and took Tao Aya out.
The bedding was warmed by Tang Pozi, and there was a hot spring under the house, so Zhen Xuan didn't feel cold when she lay down. When the old ancestor asked her to come here, she must have something to say to her, Zhen Xuan fought in high spirits and waited for the old ancestor to ask.
After a stick of incense, in the dark, the old ancestor suddenly opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse and old: "I saw you thoughtful before, but what did you think?" ”
The old ancestor asked very directly, Zhen Xuan's fingers pinched the corners of the quilt, and replied: "There are some ideas, but they are all random speculations, and I dare not say nonsense." ”
"I'll hear what you say."
Zhen Xuan knew in her heart that the ancestor left her to stay overnight just to talk about Xia Jingqing, and her thinking had no evidence, but if she said that she didn't have the slightest idea, I was afraid that the ancestor didn't like it. There were only two of them in the inner room, and there were Gui Mama and Tao Aya guarding outside, and tonight's words came out of her mouth and into the ears of the ancestors, and they would never spread again.
"The great-granddaughter-in-law had the audacity to guess." Zhen Xuan straightened out her thoughts and said slowly, "Listen to the meaning of the big man and the woman, the third uncle they originally wanted to find, but they didn't want to get the wrong person. The third uncle has a good temperament, and it stands to reason that he has not offended anyone. There was only one incident, the ancestor refuted the family affairs of the daughter of the Wang family, and the old man Wang made a shameless trouble outside the Linglong Pavilion again, it may be that the Wang family hated the third uncle for this. ”
After Zhen Xuan finished speaking, the old ancestor was silent for a while, and only sighed for a long time: "You have seen the Wang family, do you think they will be the ones who do this kind of thing?" ”
After hearing this question, Zhen Xuan understood why the old ancestor wanted to keep her. The only people who saw Master Wang that day were her and Xia Jingqing, Xia Jingqing suffered a big sin, the ancestor wanted him to rest well, and a man's mind is not as fine as a woman's, so it can be clearer to call Zhen Xuan to judge.
"That day, the old man Wang drank too much, and his words were full of resentment, and his great-granddaughter-in-law thought that she couldn't do anything when she was drunk." Zhen Xuan thought for a while and said, "But then there was a gossip that the second uncle and grandmother wanted the third uncle to discuss marriage with Miss Wang, which was probably from the Wang family." Obviously, Miss Wang's reputation is involved, and the third uncle is also involved, and the Wang family is probably really anxious. It's just that the design of the framing is different from the rumors, although no one in the Xia family is an official in the court, it is not comparable to the small merchant family with a little money like the Wang family, so that we can find out the cause and effect, and they can't get out safely. Therefore, the great-granddaughter-in-law is not easy to judge, knowing that she will be caught and suppressed by the Xia family, why do you still do this? ”
Zhen Xuan couldn't see the expression of the old ancestor, but could only hear her sigh again.
"You want to go with me, if it is really done by the Wang family, how can we spare them." Speaking of this, the ancestor's words were a little sharp and decisive.
Zhen Xuan suddenly thought of the situation when she talked to Xia Yiqing about the Wang family that day, she didn't understand the behavior of the Wang family, Xia Yiqing said, "Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes", the Wang family called Miss Wang's family affairs to be tossed and helpless, even if it didn't work, she would disgust the Xia family.
I told my ancestor this, and my ancestor agreed: "I'm afraid that's it." As a parent, it is common for a daughter to be forced to this role, and there is no son under her knees, so it is difficult to comfort and lose proportion. Let's do it first, and when I go back tomorrow, I will ask Yiqing to check on this Wang family. ”
I won't talk about it here.
The old ancestor tossed and turned for a quarter of an hour, and gradually fell asleep, Zhen Xuan closed his eyes, put aside the distractions, and fell asleep.
On the second day, Zhen Xuan woke up before dawn, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of alarming the ancestors.
It wasn't until the old ancestor woke up and called Mama Gui and Xiang Xi to come in that Zhen Xuan hurriedly got out of bed and went over to serve.
The old ancestor patted Zhen Xuan's hand and said with a smile: "I have someone here to serve, don't you have to do this, go back and freshen up before coming over." ”
Seeing this, Zhen Xuan didn't insist, and asked Tao Aya to pack up the futon and go back.
It was decided to go down the mountain today, Xie Peiwang did things quickly, everything was arranged, and more than a dozen strong villagers were lined up with the car, for fear that the thief would rush out and harm people again.
Xia Huqing rested all night, and she didn't panic yesterday, she took Zhen Xuan's hand and said, "I haven't encountered anything like that, I don't know what to do, thanks to my sister-in-law." ”
Zhen Xuan smoothed Xia Huqing's back a few times, and comforted with a smile: "That kind of thing is not a good thing, it's good if you can't meet it." ”
Xia Huqing replied softly, and asked hesitantly: "Old Ancestor ...... last night?"
Zhen Xuan raised her eyes to look at Xia Huqing when she heard this, and saw that she seemed to have something on her mind, and after thinking about it, she understood.
In the atmosphere like yesterday, although Xia Huqing was favored, she didn't dare to speak rashly, but she had her own thoughts, and there were only two people in the carriage, she and Zhen Xuan, so she opened her mouth to test it.
Zhen Xuan didn't hide it from her, and told her and her ancestors' guesses.
Xia Huqing furrowed his brows and said, "I vaguely feel the same way." It's just that in the end, it's shocking, no matter how annoying our family is, we don't need to use such a method, right? ”
Outside Yongzhou City, Xia Yiqing got the letter and was already waiting on the road, and when he saw the carriage team, he drove the horse close to greet the elders, gave the horse to Dayjin to lead, and jumped into the car of Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing.
Xia Huqing saw Xia Yiqing coming up, and after saluting, he wanted to take his hat to the old lady Zheng's car in front of him, so that he could give this place to their husband and wife.
"Sit down, there's not much to go." Xia Yiqing stopped Xia Huqing, although he got the transmission, the person who sent the letter didn't say it in detail, he only knew that Xia Jingqing had an accident in Zhuangzi, so he asked Zhen Xuan, "What's wrong?" So hurried back to the city. ”
Zhen Xuan carefully said that Xia Jingqing took Xiang Cong up the mountain and was attacked, and almost asked someone to design the immortal jump, and said the inference of last night with the ancestor.
After Zhen Xuan finished speaking, Xia Yiqing closed her eyes and thought, and she didn't say anything more.
After a while, Xia Yiqing opened her eyes and said, "I will arrange for someone to investigate." (To be continued......)
