63,
Seeing that Xiao Wei thought she was Hongying, the young woman involuntarily reached out and touched her face, looked at her hand again, and her face changed greatly.
In the end, he turned around, looked at Xiao Wei, and heard him ask Huo Shiniang about it, and suddenly the whole person became excited.
She shrunk her shoulders, and then felt a strong, uncontrollable urge in her heart,
"The slave wanted to save the girl, but the slave couldn't save her, she was poisoned."
Red tassels tears rolled down and looked at Xiao Wei.
Hearing this, Xiao Wei leaned on the chair next to the couch, "What you said is true?" ”
He almost didn't recognize his own voice.
Hongying pulled her throat and said, "How can a slave and maid lie about such a thing?" The slave would rather die herself than the girl. ”
Xiao Xiao believes this, the relationship between Eleven Niang and the maid around her is extraordinary.
Even if Hongying didn't tell a lie, Xiao Wei didn't believe that Eleven Niang was dead.
Obviously, he asked Wang Mushan to calculate the hexagram, and everyone in the world only knows that Wang Mushan is a well-known Confucian in the world, but no one knows that Wang Mushan has another unique skill that is not known, that is, divination.
He doesn't easily help people with divination, but once he makes a move......
Xiao Wei hid his face with his hands, he only believed in Wang Mushan's hexagram.
On the day of June, like a child, the speed of changing his face is very fast, saying that it will rain when it rains, and the torrential rain is like a waterfall, on the roof of Xiao Xiao's residence in Cheng'en Mansion, Xiao Xiao spread his hands and feet, and lay quietly.
He lay there unsheltered, as if asleep, and let the torrential rain wash over his body.
No matter how the people below called, there was no response.
Duchess Chengen wished that Xiao Wei would get sick in the heavy rain, and then die, even if she knew that this incident had happened, she just came over and went through the motions.
Bai Zhuo had no choice but to send someone to the eldest princess's mansion next door to inform the eldest princess Shuyang, hoping that she could persuade Xiao Wei to come down from the roof.
When the eldest princess of Shuyang heard this, she was so anxious that she didn't even sit in a sedan chair, she came directly from the princess's mansion, followed by a hula person.
The rain and fog were hazy, and the eldest princess's clothes were mostly wet when she arrived at the porch.
No matter how wet she is, she can't compare to Xiao Wei.
She stood below and shouted a few words, but she didn't expect that there was no reaction on the roof.
She shouted twice, but when she saw that there was no reaction, she didn't bother to ask what was going on at this time, she also knew that even if she called someone to go up, she would only be thrown down by Xiao Wei.
Without much effort, she instructed the people around her, "Go, bring a ladder." ”
Bai Zhuo was on the side, thinking that the eldest princess of Shuyang was letting her subordinates go up, and she was embarrassed to report,
"Princess, my subordinates also wanted to climb up before, but before they set up the ladder, they were kicked down by the prince...... The subordinates are afraid that something big will happen if they are reluctant......"
The eldest princess of Shuyang sneered, "If you want to take it, you will take it." ”
In some ways, the two grandparents have the same temper.
Bai Zhuo was helpless and ran to move the ladder over.
As soon as the ladder passed, it was discovered by Xiao Wei, who sat up like a walking corpse and looked down.
I saw that the eldest princess of Shuyang lifted the hem of her skirt and tucked it up, and came out from under the porch, and she didn't want others to hold an umbrella, but she was going to climb the stairs directly.
The rain was so heavy that she couldn't open her eyes, let alone smash on the ladder and make a crackling sound.
The people on the side were frightened when they saw that the eldest prince of Shuyang was going to climb the stairs, and they surrounded him, protecting him on the side, and kept shouting in their mouths, 'Your Highness, you can't do it, you can't do it.' ”
Some people also shouted upward, "Shizi, please come down quickly, princess daughter, how can you climb the stairs, this ladder is so slippery, in case there is a ......"
The man snorted twice, not daring to say anything unlucky.
The eldest princess of Shuyang pushed away those who held her and said, "I think that this palace also went into battle with the horse to kill the enemy, this is just a small staircase, since my grandson likes to watch the rain on the roof, how can this palace not accompany him?" ”
After saying that, it was already half of the crawl.
Over there, Xiao Wei finally reacted, he approached the eaves, turned around, moved down, and slid down holding the thick columns.
People gathered at the bottom of the stairs, "......"
The eldest princess of Shuyang, who climbed halfway, "......"
"Your Highness, the prince has come down, slave and maid, please come down quickly."
With such a heavy rain, I can't open my eyes, and my body is soaked, in case of another wind chill, the eldest princess of Shuyang will also be old.
No matter how tough the body is, it's not child's play.
Xiao Wei didn't say a word, just stood under the porch, leaning against the pillars, his expression was very calm.
He stood there as if he had been fished out of the water, his clothes clinging to his body, and the water on his clothes soaked the otherwise dry floor.
Duchess Chengen, grandmother and others, who had already watched the play and left, received news that the eldest prince of Shuyang was going to climb the stairs, so they had to hurry over again.
Seeing Xiao Wei standing there, like a sculpture, the eldest princess of Shuyang had already come down the stairs and was walking down the corridor.
"Ah Wei, didn't my aunt say you, you said that you are usually willful and reckless, can Your Highness's body be a joke?"
"If you like to see the rain, go to see the rain, why let your grandmother toss with you?"
"With so many people, your feelings can't get into your eyes?"
Duchess Chengen had a straight face and reprimanded Xiao Yiyi.
Xiao Wei glanced at her expressionlessly, and then looked away, as if she were a dead person.
Duchess Chengen was about to have another seizure, and the eldest princess Shuyang came over, and her clothes were soaked.
"Zheng'er, go in and change your clothes, you're going to get sick, what can grandmother do?"
The eldest princess of Shuyang didn't say a word of reproach, full of concern.
The eldest grandmother standing behind Duchess Chengen pouted, the eldest princess is really eccentric, Xiao Wei is such nonsense, she also accompanies her, without saying a word.
Duchess Chengen stepped forward to support the eldest princess of Shuyang,
"Mother, you're also soaking wet, let's go change our clothes."
"Speaking of which, Ah Wei is too nonsense, I can't think about anything, climb on the roof on a rainy day, we people don't pay attention to it, I want you to toss with it."
The eldest princess of Shuyang pulled her arm out of Duchess Chengen's hand and said lightly,
"He's not an ignorant child, if he doesn't have something in his heart, he can't do this, you elders don't say that you care about him, but you complain very slippery."
Duchess Chengen was stunned for a while, and she didn't dare to say anything more about Xiao Xiao.
can only follow behind the eldest princess of Shuyang.
The eldest princess of Shuyang walked over, led Xiao Wei over like a child, and said softly,
"Zheng'er, what's not happy, let's change our clothes and talk slowly, okay?"
Xiao Wei was in an ignorant and unconscious state, and followed the eldest princess of Shuyang to change clothes.
When everything was changed, he sat on the chair, his eyes were dazed, he was not wearing shoes, he stepped on the ground barefoot, there had always been no maid in his yard, Bai Zhuo took a big cotton handkerchief to twist his hair for him, he took it, and finally spoke,
"You're wet too, go change your clothes, who will wait for me when you're sick."
The eldest princess of Shuyang changed her clothes and walked in, waved at Bai Zhuo, and let him go down.
She sat on the side, looking at Xiao Wei,
"Zheng'er, you're sad, you told your grandmother, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wei pulled out a smile and shook his head, "Grandmother, my grandson is not sad. ”
He twisted his hair again and again.
Outside, someone had already boiled a thick ginger soup and brought it to the grandparents and grandchildren to drink to ward off the cold.
When he finished drinking, Xiao Wei said, "Grandmother, were you sad when your grandfather died?" ”
When the eldest princess of Shuyang saw that he was willing to speak, and asked such a question, she faintly knew what was going on in her heart, and she sighed,
"Why don't you be sad, the sad sky has fallen."
The pain of losing a husband with whom he is close to him is often not in that moment, but in every day and night in the future, when he looks up and turns around, that person will never appear again, and he will never hear a little of his voice from afar.
It can only be relied on by endless memories.
"The sky won't fall." Xiao said.
The eldest princess of Shuyang smiled and said, "Yes, the sky will not fall, because there is a grandson for grandmother." ”
Xiao Wei also smiled, as if he came back to his senses, of course he knew that his grandmother was very sad, otherwise he would be crazy to pull him to say that.
Even afterwards, because the stimulation was too great, I forgot about the events of that period of time.
The eldest princess of Shuyang looked at Xiao Wei gently,
"Your grandfather has been dead for so many years, don't tell me that it's only now so sad."
Xiao Wei shook his head and looked at her,
"It was Sun Er who saved someone, she said, Eleven Niang is dead!"
The eldest princess of Shuyang was suddenly stunned, she knew that Xiao Xiao had never believed that Eleven Niang was dead, and she had been sending people to look for her all these years.
Is it because you get the exact news of the death of Eleven Niang?
She sighed, as if a person with the blood of the Xiao family was born with a kind of infatuation in it.
Even the people sitting on the dragon chairs are the same.
It's just that some people's infatuation is true infatuation, and some people are just hypocritical and disgusting.
She touched Xiao Wei's head and said,
"Zheng'er, birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape, the world has this day sooner or later, you still have your grandmother, and the people waiting around you, and your friends. Many people care about you and accompany you. ”
"It's Eleven Niang, I definitely don't want you to be so sad."
"Don't you know her temper best?"
Xiao Xian's mind unexpectedly jumped into a jade-carved face, which was Xu Han's face.
Friends, yes, he still has friends, and grandmother.
Moreover, being sad is really sad, but there is still a trace of delusion in his heart, he squatted on the ground and rested his head on the knee of the eldest princess Shuyang.
The eldest princess of Shuyang stroked his head,
"Grandmother knows that you are sad, and she can understand your sadness, but it's good to get through it, and it's sunny to get through it."
There is no way but to survive and get through.
Xiao Wei moved, and seemed to come out of his throat, "Hmm......"
After a long time, he suddenly said,
"Grandmother, I want to go to Gangnam."
The eldest princess of Shuyang paused for a moment, thinking that he wanted to go to Jiangnan to relax, so she said with a smile,
"Okay, grandmother go and tell Your Majesty that he will relieve you of your errand......"
Xiao Wei asked, "No, my grandson wants to go to Jiangnan to help Qincha with disaster relief......"
……
After Xu Han set off from the capital, he first took the land route, and then changed the water route in order to gain time.
The night is like a wash, the sky is full of stars, and the half-curved moon hangs obliquely in the sky.
Jiangshan's life is more interesting than Xu Han thought, she is not seasick at all, but the two Qincha seasickness is called a seven meat and eight vegetarian, every day the patient has tricks, 1808 style vomiting, vomiting bile and spitting yellow water, vomiting does not even have the strength to turn over.
Xu Han stood on the railing of the boat, looking at the vast river, thinking about whether Xu Mian in the capital had any news of Mi'er, and whether there was any change on Xu Jun's side.
She was also worried that the Xu family would test Xu Jun in advance, saying that she would repair the courtyards in the mansion, in case Xu Jungou jumped off the wall in a hurry.
She sighed, and the long tassel accompanying her gave her a thin cloak,
"Lord Wang, although it is summer, the night is still windy, you can't get sick."
Xu Han pulled the cloak together, turned his face away, and smiled at Changying.
When she saw Changying, she thought of Hongying, and Hongling, and she didn't know if they were with Mi'er or separated after she died.
In the past two years, no trace has been found.
The front was about to dock, and the two Qincha were seasick, and they had to stop at every port along the way, and sent someone to go ashore to ask the doctor to come up to check the pulse, prescribe a prescription, and grab some medicine by the way.
After landing, the guards who went down to ask for a doctor soon came up with the doctor.
The doctor seemed to be in good spirits, and a medicine boy carrying a medicine box in the back was routinely searched before boarding the boat.
Xu Han and they switched from land to land, not just because they were in a hurry, but because they had already suffered several inexplicable incidents.
When the horses were drugged, cockroaches and other bed bugs appeared in the food, or poisonous snakes appeared on the bed where they were staying.
Although they were all trivial and did not kill anyone, they annoyed their group.
Later, it was Xu Xiuyan who proposed that the land route should be changed to a waterway, and the boats should not use official boats, but private boats, and in order to hide people's eyes, they pretended to be wealthy businessmen to travel.
The doctor went in for a while, then prescribed a prescription, and the guards followed him to grab the medicine and came back.
Listening to Changying's report, it was said that Qin Cha had taken the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but he didn't vomit for the first time, and Xu Han was also relieved.
She doesn't want to wait until she arrives in Jiangnan, the two Qincha are thin into hemp sticks, let alone investigate the case when the time comes, even life is sad, and she can't pay the difference, but it will be difficult to do.
It's going to get better, and she's happy, of course.
That night, he was in a relaxed mood, and Xu Han fell asleep very quickly.
I don't know what time it was, Xu Han was woken up by a loud 'bang' sound in his sleep.
The loud bang was deafening.
It seems like......
It seems to have come from under the cabin.
People don't react faster than water!
By the time Xu Han came to his senses, the boat had already tilted to the side at a speed that the human eye could see, and Changying was also awakened.
She threw herself on Xu Han's bedside and said, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”
She hurriedly protected Xu Han and prevented her from falling off the bed.
"The ship is sinking, get out, get out."
Outside was the sound of the boatman banging on the cloud board.
"The ship has hit the reef."
"Ship...... Walk the water pull. ”
Everything collided, Xu Han lifted the light veil on the window of the ship, and looked out, fireworks rose on the bow deck, the fire seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the accompanying guards and boatmen were holding wet clothes to cover their mouths and noses to extinguish the fire, calling people to call people.
She got up, she, as the leader, couldn't hide here at this time.
She got up neatly, put on her robe, and when she went out of the room, she saw Xu Xiuyan running over, and asked in a deep voice,
"Lord Xu, how many small wooden boats are there on this boat?"
Xu Han said, "Two ships, small, one can seat three or four people at most." ”
Xu Xiuyan nodded and said,
"That's enough, put the two adults down first, and then put down the guards who don't know the water nature, Lord Xu, will you be water-based?"
Of course Xu Han will be watery, she wanted to subconsciously say yes, but suddenly thought of the white silk wrapped around her chest, shook her head, and said, "No." ”
A subtle expression flashed on Xu Xiuyan's face, and Xu Han couldn't catch it, so he just heard him say,
"Then you will go with you to the small wooden boat, my lord."
Xu Han asked, "What about you, Xu Hanlin?" ”
"I can swim." He pursed his lips and threw down a sentence, "I'll go and count the people who don't know how to be watery." ”
Of course, Xu Han knew that Xu Xiuyan knew how to water, because that was taught by Huo Han.
The people in the capital are not as good as the people in the south of the Yangtze River, leaning on the water's edge, and they can't see the water.
At that time, Huo Han and Xu Xiuyan were reading a book in one place, and saw that the book said that the person who could not swim fell into the water on the river surface, and they couldn't be saved.
At that time, she pulled Xu Xiuyan, who couldn't know water, to learn to swim.
Xu Xiuyan was very reluctant, and Huo Han persuaded him for a long time before agreeing to go.
At that time, Zhao Qingya still wanted to study with her, but Xu Xiuyan's face darkened for half a month.
Xu Han shook his head, didn't want to think about it, and turned around and went to the house of the two Qincha lords.
Soon, the small wooden boat was lowered into the water, and the two Qin cha put it on, and soon, the guards who did not know the nature of the water also got on the small wooden boat.
Xu Han saw the fire on the boat increase suddenly, and Changying pushed her, "Lord Wang, go up quickly." ”
Xu Han frowned, Changying couldn't water, she immediately pushed Changying, pushed it onto the boat, and ordered the guards to prop up the boat.
Changying struggled to pounce and wanted to come over to let Xu Han get on the boat, but was stopped by Xu Han.
"You go, I've got my own way."
In fact, she wanted to go back and see how the fire on the ship's board started.
The ship will not run aground for no reason, and at this time, Xu Xiuyan has not yet appeared.
She stared at Xu Xiuyan from the beginning, his entourage was too abrupt, those officials in Jiangnan could deceive the upper and lower, and there must be someone in the capital to protect them.
Who knows if that person is Xu Ge Lao? And Xu Xiuyan may have been sent by him to monitor or sabotage.
She watched the boat go away and turned back.
She looked around the places where there was no fire, found nothing unusual, and went to the kitchen again, where she finally found something odd.
There is a faint layer of powder on the side of the kitchen tank......
It suddenly occurred to her that after nightfall, she fell asleep very quickly, even Changying, who had always woken up very alarmed, because she wanted to protect her.
But she was woken up first, and Changying woke up later.
She scraped off a little of the powder with a handkerchief, folded it back into her arms, and went out the kitchen door.
As soon as he went out, a person flew out from the side, Xu Han quickly dodged away, and when he looked at it, it was a man about thirty years old, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a coarse cloth short brown, looking like an ordinary boatman.
But the moment he pounced just now, Xu Han knew that he was not an ordinary person.
It seems that there are thieves on the ship, are these people in the same group as those people on land?
Is it to sabotage them to go south?
Or is it someone else?
As she was thinking, she heard a woman's soft voice say,
"Childe is so handsome, I really can't bear to start, although I am a water bandit, but Childe should not be a dog official, how about being a slave?"
Xu Han turned around and looked over, and it turned out to be a bewitching woman escorting Xu Xiuyan over.
The man in short brown snorted coldly, "Sanniang, don't see the beauty, you will delay the business." ”
Sanniang glanced at her and said,
"My business has been done, the people over there have already gone to chase the small wooden boat, why haven't you caught this handsome little offspring yet?"
She looked at Xu Han, then at Xu Xiuyan, and sighed twice,
"It's really a young man, one or two are so handsome, which makes Sanniang's heart thump, which one do you want?"
Xu Han heard that someone was chasing the small wooden boat, and her heart suddenly tightened, it seems that there are many people in this group who don't know if it is a real water bandit, she originally wanted to resist, but this will make her decide to give up resistance and follow this group.
At the same time, she gave up resistance in order to protect herself and prevent her identity from being discovered by these bandits in the entanglement.
If it is really a vicious water bandit, once her daughter is discovered, what will happen to her, it is really hard to say.
Seeing Xu Han's acquaintance, Sanniang and the man were very satisfied, and tied her hands behind their backs like Xu Xiuyan's.
Xu Han looked at Xu Xiuyan who was tied up on the side, dressed in black and with black hair, his expression was indifferent, his hands were tied behind his back, and he couldn't move, even in such a weak position, he still couldn't see half of the embarrassment.
The short-brown man, who didn't know how to look at him, disembarked from the boat where the two had never caught fire, and kicked him in the leg.
Xu Xiuyan was kicked into the boat, and he fell on the board of the boat, and couldn't help but snort.
Seeing this, Sanniang suddenly said,
"I said Chen Laosi, you can give the old lady a little leisure, don't rub his face for me, the old lady rarely has this face."
Chen Laosi took a sip and mentioned Xu Xiuyan dissatisfiedly,
"Sanniang, what's so good about this girl? Is Kung Fu good for me? ”
Sanniang smiled and groaned,
"Whether the kung fu is good or not, you have to try it to know, besides, isn't this going to use him? The boss can say, there are people over there, and they also want their secret decrees. ”
Xu Han frowned, the secret purpose?
She suddenly remembered the secret decree that the emperor gave her?
Could it be that what they want is their share?
She saw that Xu Xiuyan had been pinched by Chen Laosi, and her face began to turn blue, but he didn't say a word.
She knew that the man's kung fu was not weak, even Sanniang on the side was a practitioner, although there were only four people on the boat, she was not sure if she could save Xu Xiuyan.
