Chapter 57: She didn't take the blame
The lord of Xichun County came in a low-key manner. Except for a few people in the villa who knew that Xu Sa was married, everyone else regarded her as a random sister of the owner's wife. After all, many people in Longxing Mountain Villa have not been to Changliao yet, and they know very little about things over there.
But this did not prevent Fu Rushen from hearing Han Ye's words, and his good mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
"What is she here for?" Fu Rushen twisted his eyebrows, "It's the end of the year." ”
Han Ye shook his head and only said: "She said that her sister-in-law came here after getting married and was alone, so she couldn't rest assured, so she came to accompany her." ”
Hell you're here! The bridal maids didn't come halfway!
Fu Rushen snorted lightly, put down Han Ye, and turned to walk towards Xu Sa.
When Xu Sa heard "someone from the Xichun Marquis Mansion", his face turned a little pale.
At this time, seeing Fu Rushen walking towards her with a gloomy face, she subconsciously took a small step back: "Big Boss." ”
"Well, what do you call me for?" Fu Rushen asked.
Xu Sa smiled palely: "It's just to call you casually." ”
Therefore, people should not expect too much, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable when they are disappointed.
She just thought that she could covet a family reunion in this New Year, but in a blink of an eye, the hope was slim.
Fu Rushen sighed and took her hand.
"Don't be upset."
"Why am I sad?" Xu Sa said stiffly, "I just regret that I can't get the New Year's money." ”
She thought someone was coming to take her away? Fu Rushen was slightly stunned, and then chuckled: "You are quite greedy for money." ”
"Hey, I don't like to hear that." Xu Sa stiffened his neck and said, "I just haven't gotten the New Year's money from my elders for many years, who wouldn't want to do something festive?" No matter how much money you have for the New Year, it will not be as much as the 10,000 taels of silver you gave me, what is there to be greedy for this little money? ”
It could be seen that she was deliberately suppressing her low mood. Fu Rushen changed the topic with her: "I don't know yet, what do you want such a large sum of money for?" ”
Xu Sa was silent, raised his eyes to the sky and said: "Of course, you can buy what you want to buy, and then you can live your life in peace, eating and drinking without worrying." ”
It was actually a surprise to her to get the 10,000 taels of silver. But that time the road ahead was uncertain, she also encountered hardships, and almost put her life into it, and she still had some confidence in holding the silver.
However, she didn't have the confidence to say that she was funding the old department of Dongchu and still coveting the Xu family's old mansion.
Fu Rushen squinted at her and opened his mouth, wanting to continue asking, but looking at the faint light in her eyes, he changed his mouth again: "With me, you only need to open your mouth to buy what you want to buy, and you can eat and drink without worrying." ”
"Don't tempt me!" Xu sa pouted, "I can see the carrot you hung in front of my eyes!" ”
Laughing lowly, Fu Rushen shook his head.
What about hanging carrots? She's not a rabbit and won't take the bait.
Xinyu and Hengyuan went to pick up Gu Yuankun. Xu Sa and Fu Rushen walked forward, talking from time to time, Xu Sa faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Fu Rushen brought her into the flower hall, and asked the people inside to invite Fu Xuerong and the guests to come over, and then told Xu Sa: "The person who came is the lord of Xichun." ”
Lord of Nishitsumi! Xu Sa was shocked: "Why is she!?" ”
"I heard that I came to accompany you. I'm afraid that you won't be used to marrying alone. Fu Rushen sneered, "Such a good sister is also rare in the world." ”
Xu Sa sat next to him uneasily, his body feeling cold for a while.
She said, "If someone else is fine, but she comes, it is better to say that she is here to ask for my life." ”
"Anyway, it's also a sister, you don't have to be afraid." Fu Rushen looked at her and said in a deep voice.
Xu Sa pursed his lips and shook his head.
I'm afraid she's not going to have a good year.
It didn't take long for Fu Xuerong to arrive at the flower hall first. Seeing Fu Rushen and Xu Sa, she smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's good that the two of you came back safely." ”
Xu Sa smiled: "Let the eldest sister worry." ”
After speaking, she turned her gaze behind Fu Xuerong again.
The subordinates were ordered not to enter, and Xu Guanyue came in alone. She also looked at Xu Sa and called softly, "Little sister." ”
"Sister Guanyue." Xu Sa stepped forward and asked with a reluctant smile, "Why are you here?" ”
Xu Guanyue raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What, my little sister doesn't welcome my sister to come?" ”
"Of course it's welcome, it's just that my sister came over in the New Year, and my little sister was a little surprised." Playing with Xu Guanyue, Xu Sa turned to Fu Rushen and Fu Xuerong and said: "Eldest sister, big village owner, I haven't seen Sister Guanyue for a long time, and I have something to say, so I will go back to listen to the Wind Pavilion first." ”
"If there's anything to say, just say it here." Fu Ru's voice was deep, with some sense of command.
Xu Sa smiled at him: "How can you hear the words between your daughter's family?" ”
Fu Rushen frowned, and was about to speak, but Fu Xuerong stopped him.
"Ah Shen, let it go, don't worry about it too wide."
After a few words and stops, Fu Rushen waved his hand irritably after all.
Xu Sa walked up to him, grabbed his hand and shook it: "I know you are reluctant to me, but I am just going to talk to Sister Guanyue, and I will go to the main building to find you later, okay?" ”
Xu Sa rarely showed weakness, his voice softened at this time, and he looked at him with a flattering expression, just like the little beast who always liked to show his teeth and claws finally tried to be friendly with him, and his heart was soft when he saw it.
"Then I'll wait for you in the main building." He said.
Xu sassed his head and took Xu Guanyue out of the flower hall. After walking a few steps, I heard Xu Guanyue's low voice with a smile: "You are like a fish in water here, and your voice has recovered?" ”
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Longxing Villa, carefully divide the wall and have ears, and my sister will wait until I listen to the Wind Pavilion if I have something to say." Xu Sa replied to her lightly.
Xu Guanyue smiled innocently: "You are doing well here, my sister is happy for you, what is there to hide?" ”
You're happy for me, don't you taunt me in a weird way?
Xu Sa rolled her eyes in her heart and didn't answer her.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was not much better than outside. Fu Xuerong found a place to sit down and said, "This county lord, I'm afraid that the person who came is not good." ”
Fu Rushen frowned: "The people of the Xichun Marquis Mansion are really unexpected, they can do anything." ”
Lied, drugged, and the county lord came at the end of the year...... Is this relying on the support of the imperial court behind the back, so you have to do whatever you want?
Seeing that he was in a very bad mood, Fu Xuerong said: "But it's strange to say, as the county lord, she suddenly came to Longye, but she only had a maid by her side, I felt suspicious, so I arranged her in Su Xueju's wing, barely restricting her movements, she has never been out of Longxing Villa." ”
"Only one maid?" Fu Rushen frowned.
"yes." Fu Xuerong nodded, "At first, I thought she was here to take Sasa away." Not to mention that she shouldn't have taken away Sasa, and she didn't say anything about her purpose when she arrived. If she hadn't carried the token, I would have thought she was suspicious. ”
The hand behind his back twisted, and Fu Rushen said, "I'll go back to the main building first." Xiao Jiang wants to make a move, and I have to help him plan again. ”
"Xiao Jiang?" Fu Xuerong was stunned, "You contacted him?" ”
"I met with him in Hanzhou and sent Lingyu to Fancheng together." Fu Rushen said, "He also went back to Longye on this trip, but he went out again for the time being." ”
"Oh......" Fu Xuerong nodded, there was hesitation in her eyes, and Fu Rushen, who was going to go to the main building, stopped again.
"Eldest sister, just say something." He said.
Fu Xuerong pursed her lips.
"Lao Peng is dead."
Fu Rushen was stunned.
Fu Xuerong lowered her eyes, her tone was light, but she couldn't hide her sadness: "It was three days before you came back, I got the news." His dart was robbed halfway, and Lao Peng ...... in order to protect his subordinates Didn't come back. ”
With a long exhale, Fu Xuerong blinked vigorously: "The person who came back from the news only had half a life left, and Lao Peng's daughter-in-law had just given birth to a son. I didn't dare to tell his daughter-in-law about this, Han Ye sent someone to the place where Lao Peng had an accident, and only brought back the body, and the tribute was looted. ”
"......" clenched his fist with a gurgling sound, and Fu Ru's deep green tendons were exposed, "Approximate location?" ”
"Han Ye has already drawn a map, and the rest is still being checked." Fu Xuerong said, "Recently, Han Ye has a little more things to do, and the manpower is a little short, I was thinking about planning for us, where to transfer some manpower back to avenge Lao Peng?" ”
"I'll think about it." Fu Rushen loosened his fist, "I'll go find Han Ye first." ”
The tall figure resolutely left, and the sturdy shoulders seemed to be able to carry a thousand pounds of burden.
Fu Xuerong watched her younger brother leave and sighed softly.
In the Listening Wind Pavilion, Xu Sa and Xu Guanyue sat opposite each other, and said with a smile: "Xu Sa has just returned from going out, and the house has not had time to clean up, so don't be surprised." ”
Xu Guanyue looked at her for a long time, shook her head and said, "You are very hostile to me. ”
The hat was removed, and Xu Guanyue's entire face was exposed. Although it is not a country and a city, it is born of a small tenderness, and it has two more mature aesthetics than Yun Xiangyi, if it is a stranger, it will leave a good impression at first sight.
But Xu Sa didn't want to face her at all.
"The county lord should say it clearly." She said, "Why did you come here in person, or did you come in time for the New Year?" I remember that you were going to marry in the early spring, so you should be preparing in advance. ”
Xu Guanyue took a breath, her eyes were a little evasive, but her tone was reproachful: "Let me ask you first, why didn't you send a letter to the Hou Mansion for a long time?" It's almost two months now, and you've been living here so well that you forgot what you said at the beginning? ”
Xu Sa was slightly stunned, and then said, "I sent the letter." I sent it as early as January, still in front of the owner of Fu Da Zhuang. ”
"I didn't receive the letter." Xu Guanyue bit her lip, "And she was divorced." ”
"Divorce?" Xu Sa was surprised.
Xu Guanyue said aggrievedly: "Since I was a child, my father asked me to stay in the Hou Mansion to practice female red, and outsiders don't even know my name, they only know that I am the lord of Xichun. After 20 years of living like this, I finally got a marriage contract, and I could marry and go out to see the scenery outside, but the general of the border area withdrew my marriage, and it was all because of you! ”
“……”
Xu Sa was stunned.
Xu Guanyue said because of whom?
She?
"County Lord, what you said is interesting." Xu Sa said with a smile, "I don't have the habit of carrying the black pot, why blame me, you have to make it clear, otherwise I won't recognize it." ”
Xu Guanyue pursed her lips and lowered her sad eyes.
"If you hadn't shown up at the beginning, my father wouldn't have been able to choose the right person, maybe he would have directly pushed off my marriage contract and let me get married. As a result, now that you are having a good time, I have become the one who has been divorced...... Xu Sa, didn't you refuse to marry in the first place? Why are you coming back? Did you already expect that marrying the owner of Fu Zhuang would be a blessing? You are from Chu, you know more than us! ”
At the end, he was questioned. Xu Sa couldn't help it, grinning and shaking his head: "County Lord, you came here without permission, right?" ”
“…… I said hello to my father before I came out. Xu Guanyue said.
Xu Sa smiled at the corner of his eyes: "Said hello, and then came out with a negative breath?" ”
Xu Guanyue was stunned: "How do you know?" ”
Xu Sa smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
This Xu Guanyue is the same age as her, but her vision is too narrow. has been locked up since childhood, has little contact with people, and has not experienced any twists and turns, so it is no wonder that he will say these negative words.
No, it's not so much negative as the things she thinks about are too simple and she doesn't have any brains.
"With all due respect, I don't think it's appropriate for the county lord's words." Xu Sa sighed abruptly, "Even if I am from Chu, I won't know more than Hou Ye." Hou Ye must have thought it through and felt that it was inappropriate, so he didn't let you really marry the big owner. ”
"As for why I refused and came back...... You can also ask Master Hou about this, ask if it is him, ask the passing governor to harass my fellow sisters, provoke my apprentice to be angry and save people, but he was imprisoned, and when I was helpless, he threw out his benefits and had to take the bait to marry instead. ”
Xu Guanyue didn't answer for a long time when she said it. Xu Sa pursed his lips and continued with a smile: "As for the letter sent, I also received a reply from the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye said that he had something to do for the time being, and asked me to wait for a while...... The letter was seen from the lord of the farm, and if the lord of the county has any objections, go to the lord of the farm. ”
Xu Sa thinks that she is not a very smart person, but she has always known how to survive and protect herself, how can she be easily moved?
"Anyway, county lord," she said sincerely, "I am sorry that you have been divorced. But I didn't feel like I was doing anything wrong. Instead of blaming me, why don't you go to the owner of the big farm and ask the matter clearly? I am not a scoundrel to take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, as long as the situation is reasonable, I can leave Longxing Villa at any time. ”
Where did Xu Guanyue say anything about her? originally felt that she was coming with reason, but she was shaken by Xu Sa's words in a few words, she got up and said, "Then I'll go to see the big owner." ”
"Please." Xu Sa sent off the guests with a smile.
After the county lord of Xichun gave her a letter and a bracelet in the semicolon of Xichun, Xu Sa realized that this county lord might not have any scheming. She listens to what people say, and then draws the scoop according to the gourd, there is nothing wrong with it, but it is not wise.
Although Changliao is a rich country and a strong people, under the sovereignty of men, women are constantly linked to interests, so how many women are used to live their lives in a daze?
It's a bit sad to think about it.
Thinking that Xu Guanyue went to see Fu Rushen, Xu Sa didn't rush to follow. After waiting in the house for a while, I waited for Xinyu. Just seeing Xinyu coming back alone, Xu Sa had a bad premonition: "What about Yuankun?" Lost again? ”
"No," Xinyu couldn't laugh when she was asked by Xu Sa, "Bingtuozi lives well in your house, it is estimated that he lives too comfortably, and he doesn't want to come back with the slave." ”
"Huh?" Xu Sa was speechless, "He doesn't want to come back?" ”
Xinyu nodded: "When the slave went to look for him, there were a lot of strange things piled up in your house, and he also built a shed with a lot of hay in it...... The slave and maid didn't understand, and he didn't say anything, but let the slave and maid pass on to you, saying that he had some things to do, and you could go over and say it when you needed him, and you didn't need him to stay in the house for the time being. ”
Xu Sa was originally worried that Xinyu would bluff her, but these contents didn't seem to be made up by Xinyu at all, and she was bizarre when she heard it: "I won't come back for the New Year, and I don't know what this kid is thinking." ”
Xinyu's face was full of disdain: "Hengyuan also helped the slave and maid speak, but Bingtuozi has your support, and Hengyuan can't do anything." ”
"Okay, don't be angry." Xu Sa rubbed Xinyu's face, "It's all trivial, it's not like I don't have long legs, I can go to see him if he doesn't come back." ”
Xinyu pouted: "The slave maid should go and make a pot of tea for you, and clean it up later, there must always be a New Year's appearance in our courtyard." ”
"Thank you." After Xu Sa finished speaking, he also picked up the things he brought back.
After getting out of the carriage, she and Fu Rushen's baggage were sent to the courtyard by the subordinates of Longxing Villa. The subordinates also stuffed Fu Rushen's things to her, and she helped sort them out by the way.
Tidying up, tidying up, she sat on the bed with the clothes he had worn.
The two villains in their hearts, one shouted "Let's go, you won't end well if you stay here". One shouted, "What's so bad about being happy together for a day, and what do you want to do?" ”
And she was caught in the middle, at a loss.
She is not only afraid of her own accident, but also afraid that Fu Rushen will be affected by her......
It's a dilemma.
In the evening, after a quick dinner, Xu Sa went out from Tingfeng Pavilion and arrived at the main building.
"Ma'am." The porter saluted her and put her straight into the main building.
It's really familiar.
Xu Sa smiled, nodded and walked upstairs. However, when she walked to the door of Fu Rushen's bedroom, her steps stopped.
Jiang Xunyi's voice was coming from inside: "It's okay with me, you can just ask Han Ye to transfer the manpower back." ”
What are you talking about? Xu Sa felt that eavesdropping was not good, so he simply raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who?" Inside, Fu Rushen asked, and then the door opened, but it was Jiang Xunyi.
"Sister-in-law?" When he saw her, he was stunned.
Xu Sa smiled and nodded: "Second Zhuang Master." ”
After a shallow salute, she walked to the table in the room, and asked embarrassedly, "Am I disturbing you?" ”
"It's not a big deal." Fu Rushen stretched his eyebrows slightly, and turned to look at Jiang Xunyi, "Since you agreed, I'll go and talk to Han Ye." ”
"Okay." Jiang Xunyi bowed, "Then I'll go first and won't disturb you." ”
Then he went out and closed the door.
Xu Sa knelt beside Fu Rushen, still a little embarrassed. She explained: "I just walked to the door, thinking that it was not good to eavesdrop, and it didn't seem good to go back, so I interrupted you. ”
"It's okay, you don't have to mind." Fu Rushen finished speaking lightly, and the movements in his hands did not stop, and the tip of the pen kept jumping on the paper, as if he was preparing some draft.
Xu Sa only glanced at the content, and happened to catch a glimpse of the word "death". With a heartbeat, she looked away and sat on the side obediently, only looking at Fu Rushen's side face from time to time.
After a while, when Fu Rushen prepared the content and put it aside, she asked carefully: "Is something wrong?" ”
"......" Fu Rushen glanced at her and beckoned.
Xu Sa shrank a little hesitantly for a while before leaning over, being hugged by him, and leaning his side face on his chest.
The beating in his chest was very dull, and his voice was the same: "Nianguan's dart, there was an accident, it was Lao Peng, who set off on the same day as us, and he died." ”
Xu Sa was startled, vaguely remembering the dark-skinned bald man, who glanced at him before she left, and he was still wearing a garland on his head that she had shaken.
"How ......"
After choking in his throat for a while, Xu Sa said, "I remember that the eldest sister said that his wife is going to give birth." ”
"It's already born, it's a boy. It's a pity that Lao Peng didn't see it. ”
Fu Rushen said: "Lao Peng is an old man, since he was a teenager and worked by my father's side, it has been more than ten years, so this year's New Year, I am afraid that the villa will be deserted, these days I will also contact the Changliao court and shops around the country as soon as possible to find suspicious places, this year I am afraid that you will be disappointed." ”
"Big farmer, I'm going to be angry." Xu Sa said suddenly.
Fu Rushen frowned and lowered his eyes to look at her.
Xu Sa raised his eyes, looked at him with the top of his head against his chest, and said angrily: "At the moment, what are you talking about not being disappointed in the New Year?" I don't think I'm very sensible when you say that. ”
Fu Rushen pursed his lips: "I didn't mean that." ”
"Really?"
"Really."
Xu Sa pouted: "Then you can take care of the business in the next few days, and quickly figure things out, understand?" ”
Fu Rushen: "What about you?" ”
Xu Sa let out a long "um-" sound.
"I, Gu Escort didn't come back with Xinyu today, it seems that something happened. I plan to go to the house tomorrow to take a look at him, and then go to say hello to my friends in Chudi, who is the proprietress of Ruyi Building...... Then, check it out and come back! ”
Fu Rushen nodded: "Then you pay attention to safety." If you don't like it, I won't let the guards follow you. ”
Xu Sa smiled and bent his eyes: "Okay." ”
Looking at her smile, Fu Rushen was stunned, and finally put his arms around her together: "Good." ”
After eating dinner together, Xu Sa left from Fu Rushen, and finally didn't ask the question she wanted to ask.
The lord of Xichun came to him, what did they say between them?
Tossing and turning alone in bed until dawn, and there was no sleep. It seems that the youthful spirit that I just felt yesterday dissipated overnight, and Xu Sa's whole person was sluggish.
"It's the New Year." She looked at the gray sky and muttered, changed into a new dress, and went out with Xinyu.
On the way, I brought some wine and meat to Ruyi Building, Jiu'er saw her and was very happy, but she said embarrassedly: "There are distinguished guests in the building, and Sister Ruyi is receiving guests on the second floor." ”
Xu Sa smiled: "It's okay, I'll wait a while." ”
As a result, after waiting for half an hour, Wei Ruyi didn't go downstairs. Xu Sa thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go to the house to see Yuan Kun." ”
Gu Yuankun really piled up a lot of things in the yard. Most of them are forage and wood, which look strange at a glance, but Xu Sa is not interested in guessing, and after talking to Gu Yuankun for a while, he stuffed the New Year's money, and he didn't go anywhere, so he went back to Longxing Villa directly.
On the way back, I saw Hengyuan standing at the door of the Listening Wind Pavilion.
Xu Sa's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "The owner of the big village has been waiting for me for a long time?" ”
Hengyuan shook his head in embarrassment.
"I'm going to disappoint Madame, the master just sent his subordinates to give this to you."
After that, he handed over two red paper packets: "This is given to you by the third uncle and the master." The master said that he might not be able to come tonight, and the family banquet was canceled, and this year it happened suddenly, and he will definitely compensate you well next year. ”
“…… Oh. ”
After a short laugh, Xu Sa reached out and took the red paper bag: "Then you say thank you to the owner of the big village for me, and I won't bother him." ”
