Chapter 309: Miscalculation
Xie Shuning was shocked and shocked, and said, "Where are the people?" β
"When the slave and maid came, they were already at the door." Turan pointed in the direction of the main door.
Xie Shuning's heart moved, and he had already made a decision in the midst of his thoughts, and immediately said: "Go quickly, so that they don't have to stop them, just welcome him in!" β
Turan was stunned, and then left.
Xie Shuning glanced back at her mother's house, and trotted all the way to the front with her skirt.
The sky was bright, there was no snow or rain for several days, and the humidity in the air was swept away. The oncoming wind was dry, and the running hit on the face like grit rubbing. However, Xie Shuning ran fast, her clothes fluttering, like a butterfly flying in the wind.
On the long and narrow corridor, the sound of footsteps was repeated.
Suddenly, those distant and vague memories of her past life appeared in front of her eyes.
In her previous life, when she was young, her mother was seriously ill, and she did not know how to cry except for fear, and she didn't know how to comfort her mother and relax her heart, and she didn't know how to envelop her father's heart. She was young and naΓ―ve, and before her mother died, she always regarded her father as a lifesaver.
One day, it seemed to be in such weather.
The dry winter air of the Northland filled the surroundings, and the little one escaped from Gui's mother's care, and ran out little by little along the long corridor of the Xie Mansion.
She heard that her father had returned.
She wanted to meet him.
At that time, she couldn't figure out why she was a father who loved her like flesh and blood in Yanling. As soon as I entered Kyoto, everything changed.
She sobbed as she ran. Like a lost deer running in the mountains and forests, tripping over the rocks under his feet, he let out a mournful cry.
Floor tiles are already cold and hard, and this is especially true in winter.
She fell hard, raised her head, and saw several third-class maids in the Chen family's courtyard looking at her with a smile.
There is a fishy sweetness all over the mouth. She cried and cried and spat out a piece of something.
That's her tooth......
The skin of his lips was broken, and his front teeth, which were like grains of rice, were also knocked out.
Blood gushed between the lips and teeth. She cried out with a "wow". In the hazy eyes of tears, I saw those maids covering their mouths and giggling, and said, "Look at that little scumbag, you can't even walk steadily......
As young as her. I also know how arrogant this is.
However, at that time. In the eyes of everyone in the family, she is not a serious master.
The sound of ridicule lingered in her ears, accompanied by the howl of her leaking wind because she was missing a tooth, and it haunted her in this life.
It was a long, long time ago, but this moment was clearly reflected in her mind, and everything was still vivid, as if it were yesterday.
She sneered in the wind and crossed the cloister. Head towards the second gate.
Outside the hanging flower door, Xie Yuanmao had already led people into the door with pride.
Turan got Xie Shuning's orders. did not come forward, only let people put on a respectful posture and let Xie Yuanmao go.
The girl who followed Xie Yuanmao was only twenty-eight years old, with a good appearance, but the clothes on her body were just jinghai cloth skirts, which looked incompatible with the scenery of Xie Mansion, and was even inferior to the sprinkler girl in the house. However, her eyes are direct, whether she looks at people or things, with undisguised ambition.
Xie Yuanmao seemed to turn a blind eye, and said to the girl while walking: "In this house in the future, you can change what you like or dislike." β
His tone of voice was extremely arrogant, but every step he took was staggering.
The knee that was pierced by Xiao Wuyi's knife that day can no longer be recovered.
He walked with a limp, but he did not carry a cane, but put his hand on the girl's shoulder, and used her as a crutch. The demeanor is frivolous and does not shy away from it.
When Xie Shuning was panting and hiding in the shadows, he saw this scene.
The girl who followed Xie Yuanmao all the way had a strange face, she had never seen it, and looking at the appearance, it really didn't look like Xie Yuanmao's concubine room when he was in Huizhou.
Who could this person be?
She hid behind the wall, narrowing her eyes slightly.
Xie Yuanmao suddenly didn't know, and only walked inside with his head held high.
There were only a few people he met along the way, although he was a little confused, but he didn't care too much, after all, when everyone saw him, they would immediately stop walking and salute, and respectfully call him the sixth master.
He is still the only master in this mansion, what is he afraid of?
When the blizzard came, the horse fell and overturned, and he crashed into the wall of the car, his eyes blackened and fainted, only to think that he was afraid that he would die this time. However, who knows, when he woke up and opened his eyes, he was still alive and well except for some dizziness.
It was windy and snowy outside, and the inside of the carriage was as cold as an ice cellar.
He shuddered twice and called out the driver's name, but received no response.
The twilight was shining, the wind was howling, and the temperature around seemed to be getting colder and colder.
He reached for the door to lift the curtain, and a gust of wind and snow hit him in the face, so that he let go and half rolled out of the carriage. Fortunately, there was a thick layer of snow under him, and he didn't feel pain when he fell on it. He squinted his eyes and stood up, obviously he should be on the official road, but at this moment he looked as if he was standing on the endless wilderness.
The horse pulling the cart was nowhere to be seen, and he avoided the wind and snow, and neighed and shouted to the coachman several times, but the coachman still did not respond.
Maybe they slipped away on horseback, or they had fallen to their deaths, and the corpses were buried in the snow......
Xie Yuanmao shivered from the cold, kept sneezing, and felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would definitely freeze to death, so he had to grit his teeth and find a way to go.
He hasn't found the Song family yet, and he hasn't settled in the cabinet yet, how can he be frozen to death in the middle of the road?
So, he groped his way through the wind and snow in the night.
The road was skewed in his dizzy eyes, and there was no end in sight as he walked around.
He went in the wrong direction, deviated from the official road, and somehow found a farmer's house along the way.
dragged the injured leg for a long time, and walked to the end. He was almost already dragging his legs and crawling through the snow.
In the night, he knocked on the door in a daze, and fainted.
However, it is precisely because of this last, almost instinctive knock. Saved his life.
In the poor peasant family, there is only an orphan girl whose parents died early, surnamed Zhou.
She rescued Xie Yuanmao, who was almost frozen to death in the snow, and gave him food, drink, and clothing.
Xie Yuanmao was grateful.
came and went, the poor girl who had been lonely and helpless since she was a child, and Xie Yuanmao, who was richly dressed and suave, looked at each other.
Although he stood in his old age, he was handsome. It's been soaked in rich days for many years, and it's not bad to look at it like this.
If it weren't for a reason. This week's daughter, there is no chance to even give him a concubine.
Besides, her appearance is just good, far from being beautiful.
So Xie Yuanmao was concerned about taking her back to Beijing. Quite complacent. I think it's because of my kindness.
In addition, this time, such a coincidence made him faint in front of the Zhou family, it is hard to guarantee that it is not God's idea, he should accept the Zhou family well. As the saying goes, if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, and maybe the Zhou family is the lucky star of his life, and it may be called a special transportation for him.
Xie Yuanmao treated Zhou very differently.
But with such a person, he didn't dare to go to see the old lady in the long room first, so he simply took someone back to the third room first.
Outside the Xie family, he looked extremely calm. He wrote a letter to the old lady early in the morning, and if the Song family returned to Beijing, he must have been restrained by the old lady. Even if the Song family never came back. Then his children should also be placed under house arrest, and wait for him to come back as a father.
He thought that he had made all the preparations before entering the mansion, and the people he met along the way after entering the mansion were all respectful to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and decided that he had thought right, so he was ready to settle the Zhou family, and after a freshen up, he immediately went to the long room to see the old lady.
As his footsteps gradually approached the main room, the smile on his face couldn't help but increase a little.
Zhou followed him tightly, and when he saw him laughing, he also laughed.
She's out of luck!
As soon as she saw the clothes Xie Yuanmao was wearing and the jade pendant around her waist, she knew that she should be lucky.
Zhou had no parents when she was seven or eight years old, and she was used to living a poor life, and she was able to swagger into this house today, which inevitably made her excited, and she couldn't help but bring out a little bit on her face.
She followed Xie Yuanmao all the way, listening to everyone call him the sixth master all the way, and secretly wondered in her heart, is it a few days later, this guy should call himself the sixth wife? In her life, she can be a wife with others?
The corners of Zhou's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
However, her whimsy only turned in her heart, and a person suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab, and hit Xie Yuanmao beside her with a fist.
"Ahh She screamed, and before she could stand firmly, she saw Xie Yuanmao receive another punch.
She screamed, "Someone! Come on! β
But the mothers-in-law who were standing not far away a moment ago and sweeping the floor with a broom in their hands have disappeared.
She was frightened and frightened, and wanted to step forward to pull someone, but she was afraid that the fist would hit her, so she stomped her foot on the side and was in a hurry.
Suddenly, several people rushed out from behind her, and grabbed the young man who was desperately waving his fist at Xie Yuanmao.
Zhou Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl wearing a white fox with a lotus green bucket pattern and a white fox skin, and a crane in her skin hurrying over.
She was stunned, it turned out that the girls from rich and noble families were dressed like this......
She looked at it in a daze, watching the girl walk over and grab the panting young man: "Brother carefully hands, it's all broken!" β
As soon as the words fell, Zhou saw Xie Yuanmao also get up from the ground by himself, trembling all over, and roared loudly: "Little beast! I'm your father, how dare you do anything to me? Do you still have my dad in your eyes? The blue sky is white, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning! (To be continued......)
