Chapter Twenty-Seven: Scourge to the Third Uncle
After coming to this era, Xiang Kang rushed to Yanji Pavilion alone for the first time, although the familiar distance of the road was not too far, but God seemed to be joking with Xiang Kang on purpose, and he didn't go far out of the village, and it snowed heavily in the sky, and the primitive dirt road became wet and slippery, so that Xiang Kang, who was in a hurry, fell twice in a row and had to slow down, and Xiang Kang's already bad mood became worse.
I don't understand why Uncle Xiang took the risk to meet him at the Yu family, of course, Xiang Kang's heart was full of worries, not only for the safety of Uncle Xiang's father and son, but also for the Yu family. But it's okay, when the sky finally arrived at Yanji Pavilion when it was dark, the village where the Yu family was located was very calm, and there was no abnormal situation, Xiang Kang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran to the door of the Yu family to ask for a meeting, and soon waited for the future brother-in-law Yu Zhi who went out to greet him in person.
"Xiang Gongzi forgives his sins, I didn't know that Xiang Gongzi was coming, and he couldn't welcome him from afar, please ask Xiang Gongzi to be sure to Haihan."
has already received Xiang Kang's favor once, and he feels a little guilty about Xiang Kang and his sister, Yu Zhi's attitude towards Xiang Kang has obviously improved a lot, and when they meet, they are polite and polite. Xiang Kang was a little confused when he saw it, and hurriedly asked, "Young Master Yu, do you have any guests at home?" ”
"Guest?" Yu Zhi was asked by Xiang Kang for a while, and then replied, "No?" With such a heavy snowfall, who will come to my house? ”
"Not yet."
Xiang Kang breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know the reason why Xiang Bo and Xiang You's father and son were late, but he was also suddenly relieved, and Yu Zhi asked again: "Xiang Gongzi, it's snowing so hard, what are you doing in Yanji Pavilion?" Can I help you? ”
"I ......." Xiang Kang was a little dumbfounded, and then he realized that he couldn't answer Yu Zhi's question - he couldn't tell Yu Zhi that his murderer uncle was coming to visit soon, right? Then you can't scare the father and son of the Yu family who keep to themselves? In desperation, Xiang Kang could only rub his hands and say, "Young Master Yu, can you go in and talk?" It's too cold outside. ”
Yu Zhi still had a bit of a conscience, and saw that Xiang Kang's face was indeed blue from the cold, and the clothes on his body were soaked with snow and water, so he quickly invited Xiang Kang to his hall, let Xiang Kang sit next to the stove to warm up, and asked someone to bring a set of clean clothes for Xiang Kang to replace, and then asked Xiang Kang what he thought. And Xiang Kang had already thought of a way to deal with it, and said: "I'm here to visit Duke Yu, the last time I met Duke Yu, wasn't he still sick?" After such a long time, I don't know about him, so I came over to take a look. ”
After the ghost came to the door for a reason, Xiang Kang lit up the dirty clothes he had just changed out of, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I also brought some yellow essence to give to Yu Gong, but I didn't expect it to snow heavily in the sky, and I fell twice on the road, and the dried lotus leaves wrapped in yellow essence were torn, and the yellow essence was still sticky with dirty water and could not be used anymore, so I simply threw it away, came to the door empty-handed, and asked Yu Gongzi to forgive me." ”
"Little things, small things, as long as Childe has this heart. By the way, it's so late, have you eaten, childe? Yu Zhi was suspicious, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so he could only change his mouth and ask Xiang Kang if he had eaten, and Xiang Kang, who was hungry and tired, was not polite, and immediately said that he had not eaten dinner yet, Yu Zhi immediately asked someone to serve food, Xiang Kang thanked him, and while eating and drinking at Yu's house again, he waited for Xiang Bo's father and son to arrive with fear.
After dinner, it was already dark, but Uncle Xiang's father and son still hadn't arrived, Xiang Kang was anxious, and it was rare for him to have some incompatibles when chatting with Yu Zhi, but even the incompetent Yu Zhi saw that something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "Xiang Gongzi, is there something wrong with you?" If anything, please speak up, it's okay. ”
Xiang Kang hesitated, hesitating whether he should explain the truth to Yu Zhi alone, but at this time, the figure outside the door flashed, and Yu Jiao, the little girl of the Yu family who had been haunted by Xiang Kang's dreams for many days, suddenly walked in, and rarely saluted Xiang Kang with a little ladylike appearance, and said softly: "The little girl has seen Xiang Gongzi, Gongzi Wan'an." ”
His heartbeat unconsciously increased a little, Xiang Kang immediately put behind him whether he should explain the truth to Yu Zhi, got up and said politely: "Little sister of the Yu family, I took the liberty to disturb, I came to visit Yu Gong, how is Yu Gong's health now?" ”
"Childe Hongfu, it's much better." Yu Jiao's pretty face smiled, and she asked very curiously, "Xiang Gongzi, are you here to visit my father?" Then why didn't you invite my father out to meet you face to face? ”
"It's ......." Xiang Kang was dumbfounded again, and only then did he realize that his excuse for nonsense was actually all flaws - that is the reason for visiting patients but not wanting to meet with them?
"Childe, are you really here to visit my father?" Yu Jiao's smile was even stronger, and the pretty appearance of pursing her lips and smiling made Xiang Kang even more excited.
"My little sister taught me the right lesson, I was rude." Xiang Kang said stubbornly: "I was dizzy from the heavy snow, and I was so hungry that I only cared about eating when I entered the door, forgetting the most important thing. ”
"My father is asleep, do you want me to wake him up?" Yu Jiao pursed her soft red lips and smiled, and asked again.
"No need, you can't disturb Yu Gong's rest, let's talk about it tomorrow." Xiang Kang swallowed his saliva quietly and said, "It's too late, it seems that I have to bother in your mansion all night today, and I will see Gong Yu tomorrow." ”
"That's fine." Yu Jiao pursed her lips, smiled like a spring flower blooming, and saluted Xiang Kang again, saying, "The son sits down, and the little girl will leave first." ”
After that, Yu Jiao really turned around and walked out of the door briskly, leaving Xiang Kang in the Yu family's living room looking at her back in a daze, not only didn't understand why the little girl suddenly ran out and said these headless words to herself, but also breathed a little faster, and couldn't help but praise in her heart that the little girl of the Yu family looked better than usual when she was gentle. Yu Zhi next to him frowned, knowing that his naughty sister must be playing some tricks by doing this.
was expected by Yu Zhi, after going out, Yu Jiao's little girl flashed to the window, and whispered to her sister Yu Miaoge, who was hiding outside the window and peeking: "How is it?" Have you seen enough? Do you want me to take you in and have a few words with him? ”
"You're naughty." Yu Miaoge blushed and whispered: "I'm not as thick-skinned as you, and I ran to talk to a strange man for no reason." ”
"Strange man?" Yu Jiao was yin and yang, and laughed in a low voice: "Last time I helped someone find this strange man to ask for a divorce letter, who pulled me and said no?" Is she willing to marry? Who just heard that this strange man was coming, and was about to run out and peek? ”
Yu Miaoge was ashamed, and ran to the backyard with his feet, Yu Ji smiled even more treacherously, and said in his heart: "It's your own willingness, I'm helping you, and when you officially get married, I will have a good show." ”
smiling like a little fox, Yu Ji, who was actually very curious about Xiang Kang's intentions, couldn't help but lean next to the crack in the window again, looked inside, and eavesdropped on the conversation between Xiang Kang and his brother by the way, but it was okay not to listen, and after listening to it......
At the same time, in the living room, when Yu Zhi asked Xiang Kang's true intention again, Xiang Kang also made up his mind and said to Yu Zhi truthfully: "Young Master Yu, in fact, I really came here for other things, big things, you have to be mentally prepared, don't be afraid." ”
"What's the big deal?" Yu Zhi had an ominous premonition in his heart, and Yu Ji outside the window also pricked up her ears in surprise to listen.
"My third uncle who is a murderer is coming to your house and meeting me at your house." Xiang Kang said in a low voice: "I came here to persuade my third uncle to leave quickly, so as not to affect you." ”
"What...... What the? Your ......, your third uncle, you want to ......, you want to come to ....... ”
Yu Zhi was dumbfounded, he couldn't say a complete sentence with his mouth open, Xiang Kang understood his mood, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Yu, I'm sorry, I really didn't know about this matter beforehand, and after hearing the news, I can only hurry over, and if you offend, please Haihan." Don't worry, as long as my third uncle comes, no matter what way he thinks, I will persuade him to leave immediately. ”
Yu Zhi was even more dumbfounded, and after a while, he quickly got up and said, "Childe, you sit down for a while, I will immediately go and report to my father and ask him to come to see you." ”
Xiang Kang nodded, and Yu Zhi hurriedly rushed to the backyard to deliver a letter to Yu Jian, but Xiang Kang was surprised, Yu Zhi just left, and Yu Zhi's little girl immediately reappeared in front of Xiang Kang with an angry face, and asked angrily: "What is your third uncle doing at my house?" He's a murderer, aren't you afraid that he'll get involved in my house? ”
"How do you know?" Xiang Kang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came to his senses, guessing that the little girl must be eavesdropping outside the door, and quickly explained: "Little sister, don't worry, I know that my third uncle will definitely affect your family if he does this, but I can't help it, it's not my idea." ”
"I don't care! Go to your third uncle immediately and tell him to get out of here immediately, don't come to my house! Yu Ji said angrily: "The right lieutenant surnamed Shan has been looking for the handle of my family, once your third uncle comes to my house and is known by him, do you know what the consequences are?" ”
"I just knew that the consequences were serious, so I hurried over to persuade him to leave immediately." Xiang Kang explained, and said sincerely: "Little Sister Yu, I really don't want to bother you to do this, otherwise, I wouldn't have walked so far to come here with such a heavy snow." ”
As he spoke, Xiang Kang showed off the dirty clothes he was baking again, and said, "Look, in order to come over quickly and persuade my third uncle to leave immediately, I fell several times on the road, and my whole body was dirty. ”
Looking at Xiang Kang's dirty clothes full of mud, Yu Jiao's little girl's anger disappeared a little, and asked, "Then what now?" ”
"I'm waiting for my third uncle here, and as soon as he comes, I'll persuade him to leave immediately." Xiang Kang replied solemnly: "Don't worry, even if you offend my third uncle, I won't let him enter your house, and nothing will happen to your house." ”
Seeing that Xiang Kang answered sincerely, Yu Jiao's little girl was a little relieved, and she was about to continue to ask for details, but there was a sudden commotion outside, and someone called Xiang Kang's name loudly.
It's really the Xiang brothers who came, Xiang Kang just opened the courtyard door, and more than a dozen Xiang brothers rushed in covered in slush, Xiang Zhuang also asked Xiang Kang: "Xiang Kang, where is the third uncle?" ”
"Shh Xiang Kang hurriedly made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "Don't speak loudly, the third uncle may have encountered something on the road and hasn't come yet." ”
"Why haven't you come yet?" Xiang Zhuang said anxiously: "Didn't that Han Li say that the third uncle came here?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”
"I guess something happened on the way." Xiang Kang replied in a low voice, and said: "But it's okay, the third uncle is an old man, and he has crossed more bridges than we walked, so it's okay, come in and wait here, don't make a loud noise, it will be troublesome if someone notices you." ”
The Xiang brothers nodded in agreement, and hurriedly entered the door under the guidance of Xiang Kang, but unfortunately, the Xiang brothers' previous shouting had already alarmed the neighbors, and the village was full of dog barking, Xiang Kang was even more bitter, complaining again and again about his brother's reckless impulsiveness, but there was nothing to be done.
At this time, Yu Jian had already stumbled out with Yu Zhi's support, Xiang Kang had no choice but to whisper the situation to Yu Jian carefully, and repeatedly asked for guilt, promising to invite this scourge uncle away immediately after seeing Uncle Xiang, so that the father and son of the Yu family who were colorless could feel a little at ease. But the troubles happened one after another, just after the Yu family father and son were relieved, Li Dian Huang San, who had dealt with the Xiang family brothers, led the pavilion chief of Yan Jiting to come to the door to find out what was happening here, Xiang Kang had no choice but to beg Yu Jian to come forward, and bluntly pulled a reason to explain to Huang San and others.
Because the Xiang family brothers and Xiang Kang both carried with them the talisman representing the good people of Great Qin, Huang San and the pavilion chief of Yan Jiting didn't say much, and scolded the Yu family who disturbed the neighbors in the middle of the night before striding away. But this doesn't mean that the matter is over, just looking at the suspicious faces of Huang San and the others, Xiang Kang knew that they had become suspicious, and he quickly made up his mind, and said to the Xiang brothers: "Brothers, brother, we can't wait here any longer, that Huang San and the pavilion chief here must already be suspicious of us, and it is likely to send someone to spy on here, as long as our third uncle shows up, it may be exposed at any time, we have to find a way to find the third uncle and Xiang You as soon as possible, and tell them about the situation, Tell them to come back right away. ”
"How?" Xiang Zhuang asked first.
"Please ask the servants of Gong Yu's family to lead the way, and go to the third uncle and they are on the way to find them." Xiang Kang said quickly: "When others asked, they said that our brother Xiang You was separated from us, and we were afraid that something would happen to him, so we went to find him." In addition, when looking for the third uncle, we can only call Xiang You's name, don't mention the third uncle, in case others know about it. ”
The Xiang brothers nodded in agreement, and Xiang Kang borrowed torches from Yu Jian, Yu Jian couldn't wait to send this gang of scourges away, of course, he responded to his needs, and soon found a servant who was familiar with the local roads for the Xiang family brothers, and got some torches to hand over to the Xiang family brothers, and asked the Xiang family brothers to go out and take the initiative to find Xiang Bo and Xiang You. Xiang Kang thanked him, and told Yu Jian and his son that they declared that the Xiang family brothers were here to find the lost brother Xiang You, so that Yu Jian and his son would remember it firmly. When he said goodbye, he paused in front of the little girl Yu Jiao, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it will definitely not affect your family." ”
The little girl Yu didn't speak with a straight face, just nodded, and said in her heart: "You have a little conscience." ”
