30, sudden news
It was about the night before that he discussed Xiao Yi with Changying, and this night, Xu Han kept dreaming about the past in his dreams.
She pressed Xiao Wei to call him sister.
Xiao Wei was unwilling, pursed her lips, and stared at her with a pair of black eyes, as if she wanted to suck her in.
It woke her up in one fell swoop.
She sat on the bed and was still a little dazed, and there was a loud sound outside.
"Sister Ying, the prince hasn't gotten up yet, you can't go in." It was the voice of the long tassel blocking.
Xu Han frowned, is it Sister Ying? What is she doing here early in the morning?
Although Sister Ying used to have a submissive temperament, she raised in Xu's yard for a while, and she became bolder.
"I want to see the third uncle, why don't you let me see it?" There was a cry in her voice, and she was very aggrieved.
Xu Han looked at his chest, and it was too late to wrap the white silk.
She got out of bed and put on a thick dress outside, although Sister Ying was still young and ignorant, but just in case.
After covering it up a little and making sure she didn't see anything unusual, she raised her voice and said, "Let Sister Ying come in." ”
Then the door was slammed open, and Sister Ying rushed in, her feet stopped two steps away from her.
The little man looked up, his face pale,
"Third uncle, third uncle, go and save my mother, save my mother......"
After saying this, she cried out loud with a 'wow', and then threw herself at Xu Han's feet, hugged her thighs and cried.
Later, Sister Ying'er's nurse came in with a panicked face and wanted to take Sister Ying away, but was stopped by Xu Han.
She waved her hand to let the nurse go down, and let the long tassel twist the hot veil over.
She gently wiped the tears on Sister Ying'er's face with a handkerchief, slowly squatted down, and touched Sister Ying'er's head.
"What's wrong with your mother? What's going on? Don't be afraid, you tell the third uncle well, the third uncle doesn't know anything, how can you save your mother? ”
Her voice was soft and soft, and she put her hand on Sister Ying'er's shoulder like a friend, looking directly into her eyes, soothing her emotions.
Sister Ying'er put her little hands around Xu Han's neck, sobbing and choking,
"Just now, my grandmother in my mother's yard sneaked over and said that I should save my mother, and that if I didn't save her, she would die!"
"He also said that I should come to the third uncle, and I was not allowed to go to my grandmother, because my grandmother wanted my mother to die."
Xu Han's heart sank slightly, but he still touched Sister Ying'er's face with a smile on his face, and said softly,
"Don't worry, you stay here with the third uncle, and the third uncle will help you ask what happened, okay?"
Sister Ying didn't cry anymore, nodded, leaned her head on Xu Han's shoulder, and replied carefully, "Okay." ”
Xu Han picked her up, put her on the couch, called Changying over, looked at her, smiled at her comfortingly, lifted the curtain and went out.
"What's going on?" She asked the nurse who stood tremblingly under the porch.
The nurse fell to her knees with a 'plop', "My sister has just woken up, and a mother-in-law came from the yard of the eldest young lady, who is the eldest young lady's personal grandmother, and rushed in to beg my sister to save the eldest young lady." ”
"It was said that the princess wanted to kill the young lady......"
"Alright." Xu Han scolded the weaning mother's words, "What do you do to eat?" Why did you let people break into Sister Ying'er? ”
The nurse looked at Xu Han in amazement, and her mouth was half open, "But that's the grandmother next to the young lady, she said that she wanted to see the girl, how dare the slave and maid ......?"
"You are Sister Ying'er's nurse, she is your master, then you can only see Sister Ying in your eyes, otherwise what use do you want?"
She turned to look at Xu Mian, "You go to Mama Fang beside your mother and tell her about this matter." ”
"And,
She thought about it, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, it's not appropriate for you to go, let Yuanzhen go." ”
Yuan Zhen agreed, turned around and went to Xu's courtyard to report the news.
Xu Han glanced at the nurse who still hadn't woken up, it seemed that the people around Sister Ying were going to be replaced, so it was useless to ask for someone who couldn't see the master in her eyes.
From the moment she heard the birth of the child in the courtyard of the Shaw Family, and then she peeled back the cocoon little by little to find out, she knew that according to her mother's temper, it was impossible to let the Shaw Family, a harmful person, go unpunished.
It is impossible for the Shaw family to return to the world, and it is impossible to live in peace.
No matter what her mother does with the Shaw Family, she has no opinion, even she wants to kill the Shaw Family with her own hands, the eldest brother died too unjustly.
It's just that how to deal with the Shaw Brothers and what kind of way to use it does not affect Sister Ying'er is serious.
After all, Sister Ying is the only blood and blood of the eldest brother, and she must be raised well.
She asked the other maids to take the nurse down, and then turned and went back to the house.
Sister Ying is still a child in the end, at first she was really afraid, there will be an adult, although she has not completely settled down, but she can already take a small bite of the cake under the persuasion of Changying.
Seeing Xu Han come in, she pinched the cake and looked at it with a blank eye.
Xu Han sighed in his heart, sat beside her, bent down slightly, and looked at her,
"Sister Ying, your mother has always been in poor health, you know?"
Sister Ying flattened her mouth and nodded slightly.
Because my mother is not in good health, I am afraid that she will also be in poor health, so I am not allowed to detain her, and I am not allowed to do that.
Even my uncle's cousin said that she would take her to kick the shuttlecock outside, but her mother didn't allow it, saying that it would hurt her feet......
Since then, my cousin has never played with her again, and they are still far away from her.
Xu Han smiled slightly, "Our sister Ying is very sensible, since your mother is not in good health, you have to recuperate, right?" ”
"Grandmother is your grandmother, the mother of the third uncle, she wants your mother to get better, so she wants to send her out."
"In this way, when your mother recovers from her illness, she will not leave you as early as your father."
Xu Han tried his best to speak softly and understandably.
In any case, Sister Ying is still young, and she doesn't want a shadow to fall in her heart.
A piece of cake was pinched out of Sister Ying'er's hand, and she heard that if she didn't recuperate, her mother would go early like her father, who had never met.
Sister Ying'er's face turned white with fright, "Mother wants to get better, Sister Ying wants Mother to ......"
Xu Han hugged her little body and patted gently, "Third Uncle knows that Sister Ying is a good child, and your mother will definitely not be willing to let you go." ”
"So, let's Sister Ying, obediently, when your mother's body is well, we can come back and continue to take care of you."
Sister Ying buried her head in her arms, tears in her eyes, and reluctantly nodded.
"Sister Ying, grandmother loves you very much, and in the future, you will grow up slowly, you must know how to listen, see, and distinguish between truth and falsehood."
"Maybe we don't understand it now, but you have to learn it, and slowly, you will understand."
"What that mother-in-law said this morning is not right, you know?"
Sister Ying'er was teary-eyed, and nodded as if she didn't understand.
Xu Han also knew that it was useless for him to say this, but fortunately, Sister Ying was still young, and her temperament could still be reversed.
Among all these people and things, Sister Ying is the most innocent, she was raised by the Shaw family tied to the waistband of her pants, although she lived in the Xu family's yard for a while.
But then she can go to see her mother if she wants to, and she will ...... in the future
She suddenly thought of Mi'er, who didn't know where she was going.
Sister Ying still has a mother, there is her, but Mi'er, who is it?
She touched Sister Ying'er's head, and saw that she still wanted to ask about the Shaw family, so she said,
"You just said that your mother is tired of taking care of you, should we Sister Ying learn how to take care of people first, and then take care of your mother?"
Sister Ying nodded, "I not only have to take care of my mother, but also my grandmother and third uncle." ”
Xu Han's heart warmed, the blood relationship is really amazing, and he keeps chopping it.
Since Xu Xuan's death, Shaw's illness has been going back and forth, and it is not thorough, which is a well-known thing in the capital Gaomen.
As soon as the first month of the twenty-fifth year of the Eastern Common Era was over, the Shaw family went to the Wushu Nunnery outside the city to recuperate, but after two years of hard work, he died quietly in the nunnery.
After his death, he was not buried in the ancestral grave of the Xu family in the north, but found an open place to bury him at will in the back mountain of Wuzhian.
That's not for later.
Xu Han comforted Sister Ying, carried her all the way back to the East Cross Courtyard on Xu's side to settle down, and promised her that as long as she was not on duty, she would come over to accompany her, which made Sister Ying let go of her hand.
Changying and the maids had just set up breakfast, and Xu Han remembered that Xiao Xiao asked her to meet at Qixing Tower.
After breakfast, he and Xu Mian rode to Qixinglou.
After passing through half of the capital to the street where the Seven Star Building was, I just got downstairs and saw a man with delicate eyebrows leaning against a window on the second floor.
The tear mole in the corner of his eye made him look like the person in the painting.
Xu Han frowned, and did not get off the horse immediately, but on the horse, thinking about the black-cloaked man she saw in the private room on the day of the fire in Lanxiangfang.
She raised her hand and compared it with her hand, and the high bridge of her nose was very similar, as well as the movement of leaning against the window.
Xu Mian saw that she didn't get off the horse, so he first handed over his horse to the shopkeeper at the door, and went over to lead her horse.
"World ...... Lord, didn't you say that you made an appointment with someone? Why don't you come down? Or are we in the wrong place? ”
Xu Han responded, got off the horse, threw the reins to Xu Mian, and entered the Seven Star Building by himself.
She didn't stop long, and went straight to the second floor, where she saw Xiao Wei's guard standing at the door of a private room.
Seeing her, the guard was not surprised at all and made a gesture of invitation.
Before she could enter the house, a black shadow pounced on her, and subconsciously she was on the defensive, wanting to attack the past, but she didn't expect to meet Wangcai's innocent eyes, and its tail was still wagging constantly.
Xu Han slowly stretched out his hand and tentatively touched Wangcai's head, Wangcai let her touch it motionlessly, and even closed his eyes comfortably.
"Wangcai, we're meeting again." Xu Han squatted down, hugged Wangcai's head, stroked it, and greeted it softly.
Wangcai put his head on her arm and rubbed it comfortably, gurgling in his throat, looking comfortable.
It likes Xu Han's actions very much, this is the action it remembers.
Seeing that it was so well-behaved, Xu Han pinched its neck, "It seems that he takes good care of you." ”
How did Wangcai get to Xiao Wei's side, she didn't want to delve into it, since Wangcai could be adopted by Xiao Wei, what about Mi'er?
Moreover, Wangcai should be with Mi'er.
"Wangcai likes you very much." A deep male voice remembered.
Xu Han finally hugged Wangcai and looked at Xiao Wei on the side, I don't know when he came, those beautiful and deep eyes were looking at her meaningfully.
Xu Han let go of Wangcai, "Well, I like it too." ”
Xiao Wei was noncommittal, and beckoned to Wangcai, who stood in the middle, glanced at Xiao Wei, and then at Xu Han.
Finally, he hooked his head, lowered his body, and slowly walked to Xiao Wei's side and squatted down obediently.
"Wangcai is just a dirt dog, and he doesn't look good, why do you like it?"
At the beginning, she would raise Wangcai just because she didn't think that when she was not at home, Mi'er would not be too lonely.
And Wang Caichang is much better looking than ordinary dogs, Xiao Wei actually said that it is not good-looking.
Xiao Wei patted Wangcai's head and took the lead in entering the private room, and Xu Han followed.
She walked over to the table and sat down, raised her eyebrows and asked, "I don't know why the prince came to me?" ”
Xiao Wei glanced at Xu Han and looked at Xu Han for a long time, "I thought it should be that the little prince has something to ask me." ”
Xu Han frowned, "I only came here after reading the son's note." ”
Hmph, I wanted to fight against her, although she really wanted to know the origin of the sword, and she didn't follow the path he had drawn.
Xiao Wei walked up to Xu Han, looked at her quietly with dark eyes, and said in a cold voice,
"I can tell you where the sword came from, but you'll have to exchange it for something."
He stood very close to Xu Han, and Xu Han suddenly felt a sense of oncoming oppression, which made her can't help but lean back.
"That is to exchange Huo Han's whereabouts."
Xu Han lowered his eyes, half loud, and said firmly, "I have already said, I just met her halfway, and I really don't know where she went." ”
"No comment."
Xiao Wei stepped back a little and looked at Xu Han quietly one step away, "Really?" ”
"Believe it or not." Xu Han didn't bother to argue with him, it couldn't be fake, it couldn't be fake, it was useless to say more.
"Xiao Shizi, why are you so obsessed with Huo Han's news?"
Xiao Wei, "Don't worry about it. “
"It's you, what is the relationship between you and the Huo family?"
Xu Han said, "Didn't I already say it, I have a relationship with Huo Shiniang." ”
Xiao Wei pointed to his face with his finger and asked, "Does the little prince think I'm a fool?" ”
Xu Han was dumbfounded for a moment before regaining his composure, "Of course the prince is not stupid, but he is too persistent and a little stunned." ”
Xiao Wei said 'hehe', "It's okay if you don't say it, I'll let you say it." ”
Xu Han's heart turned a thousand times, but his face was indifferent, "Shizi, how can you tell me the origin of that sword?" ”
"I've already said it, in exchange for Huo Han's whereabouts."
Xu Han lowered his eyes, so that Xiao Wei could not see the sad and bitter emotions in her eyes clearly, and then, raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Wei seriously,
"Xiao Shizi, if you don't say it, forget it, I'm just taking some time to investigate."
"As long as people do something, they will definitely leave traces. You won't be able to blackmail me. ”
Xiao Xiao chuckled, "Oh? Then what you mean is that I can find Huo Han if I want to, but sooner or later. ”
Xu Han didn't expect him to be such a scoundrel, think about it, he is a famous gentleman in the capital, what is it to be a scoundrel.
Xu Han's eyes narrowed slightly, and then smiled coldly, he couldn't talk about it anymore.
She stood up, couldn't look at Xiao Wei, and was about to walk towards the door.
Xiao Wei grabbed her hand when she turned around, and a backhand trapped her between herself and the table, and the bodies of the two were almost together.
This posture was more intimate than the last time Jin Wuwei was pressed against the wall by him, and the masculine aura on Xiao Wei's body was about to overwhelm her in an instant.
Although Xu Han was raised as a man from the beginning of his life, he inevitably had to sleep in the same room with his colleagues when Jin Wuwei was on duty.
even got engaged to Xu Xiuyan in the past.
But she kept her distance from those men, even if the relationship was as stable as Xu Xiuyan, the hands of the two accidentally touched each other, and they were immediately withdrawn.
She was anxious and angry, and she didn't care about any resistance moves, but raised her right foot and slammed it into Xiao Wei's crotch, regardless of Xiao Wei's screams in pain, she bent down and covered it with both hands, and walked out of the private room without looking back.
As she walked, she regretted in her heart that she should have used all her strength to let him enter the palace as a eunuch.
I really didn't expect that Xiao Xiaozheng would grow up to be a big hooligan for both men and women!
It is really shameless to try to use her beauty to make her tell Huo Han's whereabouts.
As soon as she turned to the corner of the stairs, a middle-aged man in a gray robe came up from downstairs.
After a glance, Xu Han felt that the person who came was a little familiar, and she immediately turned to the corridor again.
She has an excellent memory, and after thinking about it a little, she remembered that this person had stayed by the side of the second uncle and worked as a bookkeeper by the side of the second uncle.
Several uncles and brothers are more good at martial arts, so they naturally abandoned the set of learning.
So everyone hired a bookstore to help everyone write excerpts sent to the imperial court, and sometimes they also sent some notices to the people.
This person's name is Ma Fu, and he worked by the side of his second uncle for three months before he resigned and returned to his hometown because of a big change in his family.
Not long after he left, there was a battle in the Baidi Valley of Limen Pass, and thirteen members of the Huo family went out to fight, but she survived.
This Ma Fu said that he was from the south, when did he come to the capital?
After she had an accident at Huo's house, she went to look for the address he left, but the people on the side said that there was no such person......
At that time, Ma Fu was a thin man, but now this Ma Fu looks slightly fat, as if he has changed someone.
If it weren't for her good memory, she would probably really pass by him.
As she pondered, Ma Fu had gone up the stairs to a private room in the corridor on the left.
The mind that had just been dizzy by Xiao Wei was now sobered up, and he intuitively felt that this Ma Fu was very problematic, so he watched Ma Fu enter a room from a distance.
She looked around, but there was no one inside, not even Xiao Er, who poured tea.
So, she crept close to the room where Marfuy had entered, and looked around again, and there happened to be a room with the door ajar open, and she dodged in.
Although her ear power is not bad, it is still difficult to hear what is being said in the next room through a wall.
She poked out the window, wondering if she should climb over.
But the window was facing the street, and even if she could climb through, it would scare passers-by outside.
Just when Xu Han was at a loss, a person suddenly came through the wall on the other side of this room, no, a small door opened on the wall.
Xiao Wei walked over from there.
Xu Han was stunned, Xiao Wei didn't seem to be surprised at all, his walking posture was a little weird, bent over slightly, the sideburns on his temples were slightly wet, and his face was a little pale.
She didn't even have time to ask why Xiao Wei suddenly appeared here, but she saw Xiao Wei walk to a place where the table lamp was placed and press it twice, and saw that the painting that was originally hanging on the wall moved, and then a small hole came out in an instant, and the voice next door also came.
"Why are you here?" The voice from next door was cold, as if there was no trace of fireworks.
This voice Xu Han knows, after all, they have been together for so many years since they were young.
Xu Xiuyan!
It's normal for the bookstore next to the second uncle to know Xu Xiuyan, but why does he call Xu Xiuyan the young master?
Xu Han bit his lip tightly, and the blood was about to bite out.
Xu Xiuyan, Xu Xiuyan, she really never saw through it.
She leaned there, listening to the sound of the two people next door talking, and didn't notice the obscure expression on Xiao Wei's face at all.
Xu Xiuyan asked flatly, "What are you doing here?" Father asked you to come? ”
"The host heard that you would rather stay at the inn than go back to the house during this time, so let the little one come and see you."
Xu Xiuyan interrupted Ma Fu's words, "I just came back and haven't adapted to the atmosphere in the mansion, so I want to be quiet for two days, you go back and tell your father, I will go back in two days." ”
Ma Fu paused before he said, "The master is afraid that you will stay for two days and travel the same as before." ”
"The master still wants you to stay in the capital, he is now in the court, and he is also very tired."
Xu Xiuyan lowered his eyes slightly, "What does that father mean?" Feeling tired, do you want to say goodbye to your hometown? ”
Ma Fu was surprised, "How so? ”
When Xu Han heard this, he knew that Xu Ge Lao just wanted Xu Xiuyan to enter the imperial court as an official, but Xu Xiuyan was not here.
"Father's thinking is too complicated, there are not so many intrigues at all, I have heard the words of father and son and a few jinshi.
But it is rare for a father and son to be officials in the same dynasty.
"The emperor has reigned for twenty-five years, but there is no case of father and son in a high position at the same time. My absence from the court is the best help for my father. ”
"It's impossible for my father to be unclear about this."
Xu Xiuyan saw what Ma Fu wanted to say, lowered his eyes and said, "It's useless for you to persuade, what else is there to do when you come here today besides this?" ”
Ma Fu probably understood Xu Xiuyan's temper very well, and when he saw that he changed the topic, he didn't chase after him anymore, but said in a kind manner,
"It's the Huo family's business, after Huo Han disappeared that day, her niece Huo Yunlan who followed her also disappeared, and this time our people finally found a clue."
"The maid beside Huo Yunlan went to pawn a jade pendant that day, but was deceived by a ruffian."
Xu Xiuyan knocked on the table, his tone was slightly impatient, "Tell the point." ”
Ma Fu lowered his head, "That jade pendant is missing now, that jade pendant is very important, the master wants the young master to find a way." ”
After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom, on which was drawn the shape of a jade pendant.
Xu Xiuyan didn't take the drawing, but was silent for a moment and asked,
"When you sneaked into Second Uncle Huo's side, was it for this jade pendant?"
Ma Fu did not answer, but hung his head lower.
Xu Xiuyan continued to ask in a flat voice, "Was it me and ...... at the beginning?" Eleven Niang's marriage is also for this jade pendant? ”
Ma Fu still didn't answer, his head hung down, and his waist collapsed slightly.
Xu Han in the cubicle listened to the conversation between the two, and his heart beat violently.
She once remembered that Xu Xiuyan asked her unintentionally, if there was anything to give him!
She thought that Xu Xiuyan was asking her for purses, fan pendants, fan covers and the like.
So she specially embroidered a green bamboo purse for him, and promised him that she would make him a set of fan covers of the same shape.
The fan cover was also made, but before it could be sent, the Battle of the White Emperor Valley took place, and finally ......
Xu Han only felt that the world was so ridiculous, and she really laughed when she ate it.
Xu Xiuyan's voice next door sounded, "Go back and tell my father, I know, and I will try my best to find this jade pendant." ”
Ma Fu saw that Xu Xiuyan's clothes didn't want to pay attention to him, so he retreated.
After a while, she heard a loud noise next door, as if something was shattering and something toppling.
Xu Han listened expressionlessly for a while, wanting to leave the room.
Before she reached the door, she heard Xiao Wei call her, "Wait......"
His words are not strong enough, and some are weak.
