Chapter 12: How He Came

"Quarrelsome?" Ling Xiaojian raised his eyebrows.

The entourage nodded, a little puzzled: "The little one remembers that Lord Xie's wife's surname is Zhang, but after Lord Xie died, didn't their family move back to Huaibei?" How could you come to Yangzhou and still live in the mansion of Qi Sanye's father-in-law? It seems that there is a lot of connection. ”

The Xie family? Zhang's?

Ling Xiao quickly remembered the Ministry of Industry Xie Inspector who died in the line of duty last year, when the river embankment was washed away and the court officials were drowned, Long Yan was furious, and five people were removed from their official positions one after another in front of the eyes of the early dynasty.

"You leave for Huaibei tomorrow to find out."

He thought that in order to appease the hearts of the people, the emperor conferred the honor of thanking the family, not for eating, drinking and having fun with the heart of a wolf and a dog's lungs.

Turning his head, Ling Xiao looked out the window again, and soon saw Yun Xiu's figure in the bustling crowd, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

People are not big, they are not small, and they are a little interesting.

"Master Hou," the entourage went and returned, with an extra piece of yellow letterhead in his hand, "The post station just sent it, urging us to return to Beijing." ”

"Got it." Ling Xiao waved his hand absentmindedly, his gaze fixed on one person from beginning to end.

The entourage sighed and retreated, and the Hou Ye of Bacheng took a fancy to which girl, and he would not be able to go back for a while.

"Tomorrow you go to Yunfu." Ling Xiao came back to his senses and pondered, "Let's just say that Third Master Qi wants to bring Yangzhou specialties to his wife, I don't know what to buy, so I asked the eighth girl to accompany me to go shopping." ”

"I'm afraid that the old lady of his family won't agree, Master Hou." The entourage dared to persuade, "And the eighth girl is not a good stubble at first glance, in case of inappropriate provocation, how do you plan to explain to the old lady?" ”

"I'll go when I tell you to." Ling Xiao snorted, "What so much nonsense." ”

"Yes." The attendant sighed secretly.

The next day, when Fang's mother came in with an invitation, Yun Xiu was having breakfast with the old lady.

"It was sent by the Marquis of Zhongyi." Fang's mother said, "I also said that I was entrusted by the third master of Qi, and I couldn't be sloppy, so I asked the eighth girl to give me some advice, what to buy, and I specially explained that it was for the second girl." ”

"This kid is so thick-skinned." The old lady's face changed, "Since you bought it for the second girl, you make a list and ask the housekeeper to buy it and give it to Zhongyi Hou, and besides, the eighth girl is unwell and should not go out recently." ”

"Yes." Fang's mother was ready to step back.

"Wait." Yun Xiu put down the chopsticks.

"Grandmother, I'd better go." She turned her head and said to the old lady, "Father, eldest brother, and third brother are all in the capital, and they need to be taken care of, although the third master of Qi is the son of the prince of Dingguo, he is not in charge of the family, he has been unhappy with Zhongyi Hou last time, and his granddaughter is going to solve a trivial matter today, if the grandmother makes a move, the right and wrong are decided, and then Zhongyi Hou will not hold a grudge against his granddaughter alone, but the entire Yun family." ”

The old lady disagreed: "Yun family girl, how can you show up casually and spread it, how do people comment on you, how do they comment on your father?" ”

Yun Xiu's heart warmed, and he smiled lightly: "Grandmother, granddaughter wears a hat and takes an ordinary carriage, and asks Chun Tao and Fang's mother to follow, and the reincarnation of King Luo of Liang Zhongyi Hou Luo does not dare to do anything on the street in broad daylight." ”

The old lady was silent.

"Grandmother." Yun Xiu whispered, "My granddaughter hasn't seen her second sister for a long time, so she thinks about it very much, so she can only buy things and do her best." ”

The old lady couldn't resist her, and relieved: "You really want to go?" ”

Yun Xiu nodded.

"Where does Master Hou want to go?" On the way, Yun Xiu picked up the corner of the cotton curtain and looked outside.

Ling Xiao rode a horse and followed the car unhurriedly: "You are familiar with Yangzhou, you can go wherever you say." ”

Yun Xiu was in no mood to hang out with him, and was thinking of some excuse to get out, when he suddenly heard a very familiar voice.

"Xie Zongren, please see Lord Zhongyihou, and report if you have a grievance."

The crowd stopped.

Yun Xiu's first thought, why did Xie Zongren come?
