Chapter 55: Waiting for someone to poke the backbone
Aunt Chen took advantage of the gap between the corners of her mouth and glanced at the mother-in-law behind her.
The old lady asked Fang's mother to ask the doctor: "Don't be tired of traveling and eating bad stomachs." “
Fang's mother retreated.
Yun Xiu didn't say a word, bowed his head and ate himself.
Until everyone finished eating, Aunt Lin still did not return.
"The eighth girl has been on the same boat with Aunt Lin all these days, and she is like this?" After Aunt Chen and Yun Xiu sent the old lady back to the room, they sighed in the corridor, "She is so pitiful, it is difficult for her to go far away, and she is sick." “
Yun Xiu smiled and pointed to the front, "Chen Xiaoniang, I'm here, I'm missing." “
After speaking, he took Chunliu into the house.
Aunt Chen stood outside the door, tucking her sideburns with a handkerchief, giving her mother-in-law a look behind her.
The mother-in-law immediately stepped forward and walked forward, "Auntie, the girl's family doesn't understand women's affairs, we might as well watch it for two more days, if we are really pregnant, the clothes will not cover it sooner or later." “
"Well, I think so too," Aunt Chen pushed the door into the house, "but she is hiding it now, and she should bear the responsibility herself, in case the child is gone, it is difficult to say whether the master will be willing to touch her in the future." “
The mother-in-law advised: "The old lady and the old man know in private, it is better for the aunt to be cautious." Don't look at the seventh girl as a sick man, she has a lot of eyes, and now that Aunt Ding has fallen out of favor, we can't be their guns. “
"I know what I know." Aunt Chen picked up the teacup and blew it, "But the words of the seventh girl are not unreasonable, if the old man really has a heart for Na Lin's fool, he will be pregnant with a child, and the daughter is fine, in case it is a son, the position of the step-lady is not solid." “
The mother-in-law didn't see it that way, "Auntie didn't think that the second room was useless, she was a stepwife, and she could still eat you." But the eldest aunt is different, she has a pair of children by her side, and she dares to spoil the seventh girl and the sister-in-law girl, if she is in charge of the family, can you still have a peaceful birthday? “
After a pause, "The old slave understands that the eldest aunt is wearing a pair of pants with you on her face, and she doesn't know how to hate it in her heart, otherwise if she says a few good words in front of the master, you won't be left out in the cold." “
"I don't know," Aunt Chen rubbed the teacup in her hand, "If it weren't for Ding Mei's fainting and foolish things, the master would not have agreed to accompany me." “
Saying that, sorrow comes from it. "But I just hate the second room, I wish she was dead, if it weren't for her, how could my four girls be gone? The eight girls are all sixteen, and the fourth girl is alive, so she has already added a grandson to me, and the master will not blame me for this. “
Some things are fate, but not everyone accepts fate, the mother-in-law shook her head, trying to persuade but didn't know how to say.
And although Aunt Lin is soft, she is not stupid, she took advantage of her better health and went to Yunxiu's house, "Eighth girl, I have a reluctant request." “
"Lin Xiaoniang, please speak." Yun Xiu has nothing to do, playing with a tassel, but by looking at the color, he knows that it is used by men.
Aunt Lin pretended not to see anything, and sat next to her cautiously, "The old lady asked me to go to live in the front boat, but I don't want to, can the eighth girl help me talk about it, just follow the girl all the way." “
Yun Xiu understood her concerns, but firstly, the elders spoke, and secondly, it didn't matter if Aunt Lin was not pregnant, she had a small body and no one could serve her, in case of any more dangers along the way, she could not guarantee the safety of anyone.
"Why don't I tell my grandmother that you live next door to her old man's house," no one dares to misbehave under the old lady's nose, "and there is a good mother here, and she has a lot of food and well-thought." “
It's a compromise.
Even if Aunt Lin was unwilling, she could hear the embarrassment of the eighth girl.
Because of the delay for a few days when encountering thieves, the group hurried to the road, except for the dock supplies, and went north non-stop.
Aunt Lin was not there, the happiest person was Ling Xiao, but Yun Xiu was bitter, in order to prevent Chunliu from discovering the clues, she arranged people to the cabin next door, and then left the door for Ling Xiao every night.
"You're getting more and more bold," Yun Xiu hung the finished tassel under the beast's head jade pendant, and spoke with his back to the screen, "You have hot water in the house, why do you grab my bath bucket, you use it, what do I use to wash it?" “
"Let's go together." Ling Xiao snorted pleasantly, "I don't mind. “
"Bah, Deng's disciple," Yun Xiu threw the jade pendant in his hand through the screen, "full of foul language, you can say it." “
"Have you heard of mandarin duck baths? Mandarin ducks can accept it, what's wrong with multiple bath words? Ling Xiao caught the tassel steadily, stroked it with his wet hands, and said with satisfaction, "Good job." “
Yun Xiu didn't have a problem with him: "Master Hou thinks it's good, so hurry out of the bath, it's cold at night, be careful of freezing." “
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of gurgling water behind the screen, and a wet hand with a cloth towel stretched out, "Wipe my body for me." “
"Master Hou, I asked my entourage to serve you." Yun Xiu was immediately unhappy, got up and said, "I'll go to the Spring Willow House tonight, you can do it yourself." “
"I'm wearing pants!" Ling Xiao has seen incomprehensible amorous, but he has never seen such incomprehensible amorous, "Why are you so careless." “
Yun Xiu didn't believe it, looked at the middle coat and pants on the screen and asked, "Master Hou, the pants are still hanging, what are you wearing?" Crotch cloth? “
"You're out of control, you're out of control." Ling Xiao was recognized, shook his head and sighed, "You are old-fashioned, right?" “
"I'm an old-fashioned spirit who killed you a long time ago!" Yun Xiu snorted angrily and said, "Cheng Ri is not ashamed, and he also says that others are old-fashioned, and I see you talking to the soldiers with a strong momentum on weekdays, as if I have become a person, where is the majesty of the Hou Ye." “
"Hurry up and go to bed." Ling Xiao snorted, and went online in the evening, and all the evil thoughts were gone.
On the couch is the cherry powder quilt of her daughter's home, with a faint scent of smoke, smelling a calming effect, Ling Xiao gradually became sleepy.
When Yun Xiu lay down, he was already snoring.
"I'm not honest all day," she tapped the tip of his nose with her index finger, with a coquettish reproach, "I don't have a good rest when I'm tired, and I want to think crookedly." “
After speaking, Yun Xiu covered her warm thin lips, took a touch like a dragonfly, and left quickly.
Ling Xiao didn't wake up, she was very happy, like a child stealing candy, her heart was sweet.
The boat left Qingzhou, and then went north to Zhongzhou, the waters of Zhongzhou are wide, day and night to rush to Jizhou, five days in advance, the capital is located in the north of Jizhou. Whether by water or land, it takes three or four days to arrive in Beijing as fast as possible, and five or six days as slow as possible.
Yun Zhidong was afraid all the way, for fear that there would be another mistake at the door, so he took the salt road document and invited the Marquis of Zhongyi to go to the state capital together, and asked the local government to escort the tax silver, not only the official road was unimpeded, but it was delivered to the Privy Council two days earlier than originally planned.
The female carriage followed at the end, Chunliu was very curious about the northern realm, and secretly lifted the curtain all the way to look out, Yun Xiu was not a stranger, and she was not interested, she counted the number of people in the two boats from the moment she got off the boat, and she always felt that something was wrong.
"Chunliu, I remember that Gongzi Xie got on the boat in Yangzhou, did you see him later?"
"I didn't pay attention." Chunliu lowered the curtain and looked over, "Why did the girl suddenly ask about this?" “
Yun Xiu lowered his eyes and smiled: "We have one less person, haven't you noticed?" “
After her reminder, Chunliu suddenly realized: "The girl didn't say it, the slave really didn't pay attention, I didn't see Gongzi Xie at the dock just now, he got off the boat halfway?" “
Because Xie Zongren was guarded by guards on the front ship, no one paid attention to this.
Now that there is no reason for no reason, no one has talked about it.
When she was halfway to rest, she took advantage of no one's attention and went around to the front to find Ling Xiao.
"Why are you here?" He looked at her strangely, and said to Nunu in front of him, "Your father is with the governor of the state capital, are you not afraid of being seen?" “
"Master Hou will be fine if he blocks it." Yun Xiu took a small step, stood directly opposite Ling Xiao, and said straight to the point, "Xie Zongren is gone, do you know?" “
"What are you looking for him?" It seems that Ling Xiao has already knew, "Chun Tao's case is over, and the Yun family has also indicated that it will not be investigated, what else do you want?" “
Yun Xiu didn't want to argue with him, so he only asked, "Where are the others?" Did you let him go? “
Ling Xiao didn't understand the change in her face, and her face sank: "I can't put your turn to put your beak, if you have something to say, you have nothing to do and go back to your carriage to stay, don't make trouble here." “
With that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Cloud Cave.
Yun Xiu stood stunned for a while. And then he did not turn back to the carriage.
"Girl, what's wrong with you, who are you angry with?" Chunliu saw that she was in a bad mood, and tried her best to comfort her, "What did the old lady say about you?" Girl, don't forget to go to your heart, her old man loves you the most. “
said, poured a cup of tea and brought it to her, "Jizhou is drier than Yangzhou, and it is easy to get angry, and the girl drinks saliva smoothly." “
Yun Xiu was angry with Ling Xiao, and said to Chunliu: "You will ask Aunt Lin's mother-in-law about what happened in the previous boat, and you can see and hear it." “
If Ling Xiao doesn't tell her, she will be out of luck? Joke.
The spring willows are smart, and when people sit around for lunch at noon, they hear a lot.
Back in the car, 1510 told Yun Xiu: "Girl, don't be afraid when you say it, they said that Xie Gongzi disappeared on the day of the trouble, whether he was killed and thrown into the water, or he fell into the water, no one saw it, and the boat was in a mess at that time. “
"Have you ever asked someone to go down and salvage it?" Yun Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect Xie Zongren to die so unexpectedly, "My father didn't say anything?" “
Chunliu belched: "The master is so scared that the three souls lost two souls, what can I say, and then I think about salvage, the boatman said that he is not willing to stay in that water." Hou Ye also knew about this, Hou Ye said that if the guest died in a foreign country, there was no difference between water burial and burial, and it was important to hurry. “
"The master also means this, but the mother-in-law who served Aunt Lin privately told the slave maid that the master felt that it was okay for Gongzi Xie to be gone, and said that he knew that you couldn't get over the hurdle of Sister Chuntao, so he simply got rid of it, and the old and new accounts were over."
In the final analysis, Yun Yushi was afraid of trouble, and he was afraid that Yun Xiu would make trouble endlessly, and he didn't want to provoke Zhongyi Hou, so now he finally has peace of mind.
For Ling Xiao, Xie Zongren was an irrelevant person, and now that he is dead, he has nothing to do with him.
Only Yun Xiu, the enemy who tried everything possible to kill was silently gone, not so much relieved, but empty.
She thought, it's better to die, or better??
It was getting late, and the governor of the state capital did not recommend dragging dozens of boxes of cash to rush to the night road, and the group settled at the nearby post station.
Ling Xiao washed his face in the room, and saw Yun Xiu walking alone in the atrium from the window, without even changing his clothes, and went out and downstairs in three steps and two steps.
"Master Hou is also here to eat?" Yun Xiu saw the comer clearly from afar, and waited for Ling Xiao to come over, before getting up and blessing, "The little girl didn't go back to the room to rest in advance, and she retired." “
"There are a lot of people in the afternoon, and it is inconvenient to speak." Ling Xiao grabbed her arm, "You want to know what's going on with Xie Zongren, I'll tell you now." “
"I already know," Yun Xiu twisted his wrist and motioned to let go, "Master Hou's person who does big things is informal, and he is a little girl who is abrupt. “
"It's not abrupt," Ling Xiao coaxed with a smile, "You indiscriminately ask the teacher for guilt, and ask other men, can I be happy?" “
"You know I didn't mean that." Yun Xiu shook off his hand and defended, "The heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman, and I accompany you every day in vain, you are so suspicious of me, narrow-minded!" “
As he spoke, he quickened his pace, and was dragged back by Ling Xiao, "Okay, I'm narrow-minded, I'm a villain, why don't I go to your room tonight and compensate face-to-face?" “
Then he stepped closer, put it close to her ear, and exhaled and tickled on his neck, "Give you relief." “
"No, I'm out of gas." Yun Xiu disliked wiping his ears and temples, "Master Hou has a hard day, have a good rest." “
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ling Xiao to speak, he ran away with his skirt.
Ling Xiao especially wanted to laugh at the moment, his eyes were obviously full of jealousy, and he pretended to be righteous, and he was going to lose his body?? He wondered what her expression was.
As for Yun Xiu, she knew that Ling Xiao was teasing her, she couldn't understand why this man was so faceless and skinless, but she couldn't beat her head, she didn't care about scolding, she choked on her chest in one breath and couldn't get down, she panicked.
She can't think about it, why is it always her who is passive.
In the dead of night, the lights in each room were turned off, and he put on a coat and knocked on Ling Xiao's door lightly.
Ling Xiao was surprised: "Why are you here?" Something? “
Yun Xiu stepped in involuntarily, closed the door casually, grabbed the dark collar, forced Ling Xiao to bow his head, and stood on tiptoe to kiss it.
She learned his tricks and pried her mouth open, but her tongue was on her teeth, and she couldn't get in.
Looking at Ling Xiao again, he quickly turned passive into active, looking at her with a smile, and he had a posture of sitting still.
Yun Xiu was uncomfortable with him, and quickly lost the battle, let go and retreated to the side at the same time, covering his face with embarrassment and shame, what the hell was he doing!
"Not kissing?" Ling Xiao tore off her hand and threw herself into his arms, no wonder he did, "You don't kiss me." “
He grabbed two slender wrists with one hand and lifted them above her head, and with no effort, pressed the person to the couch.
The situation gradually tilted, Ling Xiao was not satisfied, and went down his cheek, even if he felt that Yun Xiu was struggling, he didn't let go, and in a daze, he heard her call Hou Ye, as if he called him by his name again.
The smell of grapefruit seems to stain the whole body, seducing a vigorous desire.
There was not a long time between the complete breaking of the strings and the continuation of his mind, and when he got up, he saw Yun Xiu's red eyes, messy clothes, and bright red marks on his skirt.
Yun Xiu was afraid of being heard from beginning to end, so she couldn't help but purse her lips, and it wasn't until this moment that she squeezed out a few words from her throat: "Is Master Hou satisfied?" “
Ling Xiao was a little flustered and a little overwhelmed, he was too excited to come and go quickly, and before he had time to taste the gentle township, he attracted the hatred of the other party.
"When I go back to Beijing, I will marry you." He searched his intestines and scraped his stomach and said a word.
Yun Xiu pushed him away, sat up and tidied up his clothes, and said lightly: "Blame me for this, I shouldn't offend Lord Hou late at night." “
"Xiuxiu, I don't blame you for this, blame me, no, no, you can't blame me," Ling Xiao said incoherently to the girl for the first time, "I mean, I'm not malicious, just now, you are so fragrant." “
What kind of bullshit are you talking about?
Ling Xiao felt that his mouth was like a wild horse, and his brain couldn't control it.
"Hou Ye rest early," Yun Xiu's heart was also chaotic, she had tasted the love between men and women with Xie Zongren in her previous life, but everything was in order, and now she was taken away by Ling Xiao in a daze, no matter what, she couldn't be happy, "I'll go back first." “
Ling Xiao didn't dare to force him to stay, sent people out of the door, and returned to the room.
Fortunately, Chunliu slept soundly, Yun Xiu didn't light the lamp, and sat on the ground along the door, hesitating and staring at the window with his knees crossed.
She didn't want to die, but she didn't think about how to face Zhongyi Hou tomorrow, whether to treat it as nothing, or to be awkward for a few days, anyway, the most popular thing is Yun Yushi, and her official career has multiple umbrellas since then.
Following. Chunliu found that the skirt Yun Xiu wore yesterday was missing, and she didn't find it after looking for a long time, Yun Xiu asked her not to look for it, and quickly asked someone to bring breakfast, she was hungry.
"Girl, it's weird." Chunliu was puzzled, "Could someone steal it?" It's impossible, there are a lot of jewelry and money, and you steal a skirt alone? What a fetish. “
"If you lose it, you will lose it, maybe you can stuff it somewhere," Yun Xiu perfunctorily, "The trip is so long, and it is normal that the regulations of things are not uniform, let's talk about it when we go to the capital." “
Also. Chunliu didn't bother anymore, and found another skirt to wait for.
On the next road, Yun Xiu has been very quiet, unless it is necessary to not get out of the carriage, it is not hypocritical, I feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, there is no name and no points, and it hurts for two days in a row.
Although she remained normal, she was still seen by Aunt Chen.
She asked the mother-in-law beside her, "Why is the eighth girl walking a little lame, did she fall her leg?" It doesn't look like it. “
The mother-in-law didn't say it like it, and persuaded her, "My aunt just got the old man's eyes right now, and she can't let the old man." The old lady thinks that we are with Aunt Ding, and we don't deal with the eight girls, just look at it, don't spread it to the ears of the master. “
Aunt Chen glanced at her, "Ding Meisheng took the chicken feather as an arrow, I won't, the eighth girl was not born by me, she shines on the lintel, I follow the light, she is not good, the damage is the dignity of the relatives, what does it have to do with me, the lord can't hit me on the head." “
"It's good that my aunt can figure it out." The mother-in-law said yes, "The big house is a lesson, let's be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years." “
"But I heard from the seventh girl that the marquis of the capital looked at the eighth girl differently," Aunt Chen beat the fourth girl since she beat herself, and she couldn't see the other girls well, "Do you say it's true?" “
The mother-in-law shook her head: "This old slave is not easy to say." “
"I didn't believe it at first." Aunt Chen said to herself, "But along the way, you didn't find that the eighth girl and Hou Ye were in the same boat, and the time of Shui Kou, I heard that Hou Ye personally found the eighth girl to carry the person out, tsk, do this, it's not what Lang Qing concubine means." “
After a pause, "Old lady, I'm afraid that the old man will also turn a blind eye, but he is the marquis of the capital, and the eighth girl is on the pole and stutters, not just to climb the high branches, even if he is a concubine, he is three points more noble than ordinary people." But a concubine is a concubine, and what kind of high-ranking and small households are divided, it is really a small person. “
With that, she lowered the curtain and sat back down.
The carriage is not soundproof, and this sentence was heard by Aunt Lin, who happened to be passing by, and turned her head to Yunxiu's carriage.
"Is the eighth girl uncomfortable?" Aunt Lin was out to say hello and was invited by Chunliu to sit down.
"I'm fine," Yun Xiu leaned against the screen curtain to read a book, and smiled when she saw her, "Why did Lin Xiaoniang come over?" I heard that my grandmother wanted my little mother to rest and recuperate. Don't walk around. “
"I'm not that squeamish." Aunt Lin stroked her lower abdomen, which could not be covered, "Fortunately, there is a girl to take care of me halfway, and this baby has been safe for three months." “
Yun Xiu asked her not to worry too much: "Lin Xiaoniang will raise and add a grandson or granddaughter to her grandmother, and she will smile from ear to ear." “
Aunt Lin said yes, and then led the topic to her, "Don't talk about me, what the old lady misses most now is the eight girls' relatives, can the eight girls have a man in the picture?" “
Yun Xiu didn't believe that Aunt Lin couldn't see the relationship between her and Ling Xiao, "What rumors did Xiao Niang hear?" “
"Relax girl." Aunt Lin briefly said what she heard, "When the girl is old, she has to plan for her future." “
Yun Xiu lowered his head and smiled lightly, and said a few words of greeting. Tell Chunliu to send someone back.
Chunliu is not as enlightened as Chun Tao in the affairs of men and women, in her opinion, Aunt Chen is full of food and support, chatting with the girl.
"Girl, don't take it to heart," she advised, "The three aunts in the backyard, except for Aunt Lin, who doesn't mix right and wrong, the other two are all masters of chewing the root of the tongue, and if you deal with this kind of person, you have to be angry with yourself." “
"yes, I know." Yun Xiu replied perfunctorily, knowing in her heart that Aunt Chen must have seen the clues, otherwise it would not be groundless.
But it has already happened, blaming Ling Xiao and blaming himself is useless.
As for Ling Xiao, he had the heart to talk to her, and after looking for her a few times, he either avoided it or politely refused, which made him very angry.
On the last night of entering Beijing, Ling Xiao knocked on her door regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.
"Back to the Hou Ye, the girl is asleep." It was the spring willow that greeted the door.
Ling Xiao had a calm face and was imposing: "Tell her to get up, I have something to ask her." “
Chunliu couldn't stand the fright, and hurriedly went into the house to reply.
Yun Xiu knew that he couldn't hide today, so he looked for the head to take the spring willow.
"Master Hou, please sit down, it's not easy to sleep when you drink tea at night, just white water." She poured water for him and was grabbed by the wrist.
Ling Xiao frowned and asked her, "Give me a happy word." “
"I'm not upset." Yun Xiu sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and moistened his lips, "It's just that I don't know what to say to Hou Ye, so I just avoid it." “
Ling Xiao understood: "You are blaming me." “
"Don't dare." Yun Xiu lowered his head, "Originally, I was bothering Hou Ye and making Hou Ye have other thoughts. “
Ling Xiao sneered: "Blame me for not sleeping with you?" “
"Should I smile at you?" Yun Xiu raised his head and looked at him coldly, "I didn't cry or make trouble, I didn't say that you were wrong, what do you think of me?" Did I obey you every day after that night, waiting for someone to poke me in the back during the day? “
"Who dare!" Ling Xiao's eyes were terrifying, and he pointed at her, "I just opened my mouth to find the Cloud Cave and asked you, he didn't dare to let out a fart, do you think you are so expensive?" I said I would marry you??"
"Enough!" Yun Xiu got up and pointed to the gate, "I'm not expensive, the threshold of the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion can't be climbed, I deserve to fight with you." “
