Chapter 48: Where Did She Come From?
"Yes".
Fu Rushen maintained a flat lying posture and did not make a sound.
But Xu Sa was apprehensive by him.
Although she had lost too much blood due to her injuries before, she casually made it up and said that it was a menstrual event. But after that, she did come to menstruation. Otherwise, she hasn't come for a month, isn't she going to be scared to death?
It's just that Fu Rushen suddenly asked about this?
Subconsciously touched his flat belly, Xu Sa glanced at the people around him with his spare eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best not to trouble you." β
After a pause, she added, "As for the person who came to pick me up...... I'm secretly looking for the right person. β
No response.
Quietly turned his head and glanced at Fu Rushen, seeing that his eyes were closed, without expression, as if he had fallen asleep, Xu Sa bit his lip, turned his back to him and closed his eyes.
That night, she got up twice, but soon lay back.
Then it seemed that he was interested in sleeping outside, and Fu Rushen came to listen to the third night of the Wind Pavilion, and Xu Sa also asked to sleep outside.
On the fourth night, as soon as the candle lights went out, Fu Rushen himself went into the bed.
"You seem to be busy these two days?"
Before going to bed, the two would occasionally chat.
Asked by Xu Sa, Fu Rushen put his arm behind his head and said: "The New Year is approaching, and in the next few days, the remaining small countries around Chu will also start paying tribute to Changliao." I'll be busier than I am now, and I'll most likely go out and walk in person again. β
Xu Sa turned over, raised his eyes to him and asked, "Then do I have to find someone to pick me up?" β
Fu Rushen said: "I'm curious, where can you find someone?" It is not a trivial matter to act as a person in the Hou Mansion, and it must not be entrusted to the living. β
"I know, or I'd have left sooner." Xu Sa pursed his lips, but his eyes suddenly lit up, "Anyway, big farmer, I have made friends in Chudi!" β
"Friends?" Fu Rushen glanced at her slightly.
"Yes, didn't I say that I want to be a nursing home in Ruyi Building? Although I haven't been able to make it for a long time, I get along well with the shopkeeper's sister Ruyi, who is the first friend I made in Chudi! β
After finishing speaking, Xu Sa snapped his fingers: "Also, the Jiu'er girl in Ruyi Building is also very good, when I have time to talk to her more, and then give her some small things, I will probably have one more friend!" β
Fu Rushen snorted lightly: "You live a nourishing life." β
Xu Sa raised his neck and frowned: "I haven't left anything down!" In the past two days, I have helped the eldest lady count the goods, classify the accounts, and accompany the eldest lady to go out to buy a lot of things! β
"By the way, I said a lot of words, asking me why I want to find a woman who has been missing for more than ten years?"
"......" Xu Sa coughed with his lips covered and whispered, "Didn't I ask the answer?" β
Looking at her for a long time, Fu Rushen straightened his face slightly: "About that painting, don't be curious anymore, not only will no one give you an answer, but asking too much will cause trouble, it's not worth it." β
Xu Sa bit her lip, and her voice was low: "I just think that the girl in the painting has a miserable life experience, and she has been missing for so many years, and there are still people who haven't let her go...... It's also too cruel. β
"Cruel?" Fu Rushen frowned.
Xu Sa raised his eyes to look at him as a matter of course: "It's been more than ten years, and there are still people who want to kill her, isn't it cruel?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Fu Rushen wanted to speak and stopped, and only after looking at her for a while did he lose his smile: "Xu Sa, why don't you have a dark heart, is there only one reason to find someone?" β
He imitated the educated look on her face and said: "You can't think about it, there is an old person who misses her, and she has been separated for many years and looks forward to seeing her again?" β
"The deceased?"
"I'm just using an analogy. In the end, it means that she is not necessarily sought out to harm her. β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing the disbelief in her eyes, Fu Rushen sighed lightly: "Let's sleep." β
Xu Sa first spit in his heart, Master Fu really holds a grudge.
How long ago she said that he was dark inside, and he was finally returned by him!
Then she wondered, where did she have an old man in Chudi? The Xu family's old house is located on the outskirts of Longye City, and there is not even a neighbor around, could the so-called old man still be her group of white-eyed wolf relatives who pointed at her and said, "Traitor, it's better for you to die outside"?
Don't, that's horrible.
Turning around angrily, Xu Sa rolled his eyes with his back to Fu Rushen, and made a grimace because he didn't think it was enough.
But I heard the person behind me: "You really don't have to think much about that girl." The last clue of Longxing Villa is that she probably followed the people from the old department of Eastern Chu to Changliao, and later appeared in the Xu family shop in Changliao, and then completely disappeared to this day, and her life and death have been uncertain for many years. β
"I remember hearing from a distant relative of the Xu family that her younger brother didn't even survive the first year of the Dongchu turmoil. Maybe God wants to be unfair to her family. β
Xu Sa lowered his eyes and listened quietly, but his body didn't move.
After a long time, the people around him turned over and breathed very steadily.
Xu Sa raised his eyes, gently took out a burden from under the bed, and rolled out of the window on his back.
Came to the dining room at night, pushed open the door, shook off the burden and put the dough inside on the board, Xu Sa lit a candle lamp, and began to make a fire to burn the water steamer.
"It's dryβwatch out for the candlesβ"
There was a loud snort outside.
Xu Sa counted the hours, poured the steamed white flour steamed buns back into the burden in less than two quarters of an hour, and then quickly restored the dining room to its original state, before extinguishing the candlelight and quietly leaving.
The night was very deep, and the beggars and refugees in the 12th alley of Longye were snoring, but there were still many people who were cold and hungry, huddled in the corners and couldn't sleep.
In the quiet moonlight, the petite figure stood next to the canopy, looked at the streets and alleys in front of him, and said unhappily: "It can't go on like this, when winter comes, I don't know how many people will freeze to death in the twelve alleys." β
The people beside her arched their hands: "The young helmsman is angry, and the old department is already trying its best to accommodate it." It's just that the old department of Eastern Chu has just returned to its position, and it can't be hit, so we can only take in some people who are sure that it will not be a fine work. β
"I know, but can't my dad get some more money?" Xiao Fang'er pursed her lips and stomped her feet on the spot, "Just relying on those middle-aged men to do coolies during the day, how can they feed such a large group of people!" β
"This ...... You have to be considerate of the young helmsman, and it is not easy for the helmsman. β
"It's not easy for him, he's a big man! Master Wei Helm, a woman is more reliable than him, where did you get the face to help him speak! β
ββ¦β¦β
The subordinate couldn't answer.
Xiao Fang'er pursed her lips: "That's it, I'll go back to sleep after another round!" β
As the words fell, she bent her knees and fell to the ground on tiptoe.
At this time, under the high wall separated from her by two alleys, Xu Sa was moving forward rapidly, not only carrying a burden on his back, but also covering a mask tightly on his face.
The wound on her arm was repeated, she didn't want to move anymore, so she chose to turn left and right according to the route in her memory, and finally came to a place where refugees gathered to sleep, opened her bag and took out a steamed bun wrapped in oiled paper halfway.
"Mother, I'm hungry ......" Not far from her, a little girl's voice was like a mosquito humming, "I smell the smell of steamed buns, I'm hungry ......"
"Girl, when the day dawns, my mother will beg you for steamed buns to eat, can you sleep first?" The woman on the side persuaded softly.
Xu Sa's eyes were sour when he heard this, his body was hidden behind the corner wall, and he reached out and threw an oiled paper bag towards the mother and daughter.
"Oops!" The little girl screamed when she was hit in the thigh, but then her eyes straightened, and she hurriedly crawled forward and picked up the still hot oiled paper bag and opened it.
"Steamed buns?"
When the woman was still stunned, the little girl was already gobbling up the steamed bun and eating it. In the moonlight, a paper bag could be seen flying towards them, and the woman hurriedly grabbed it, and after opening the paper bag, she looked around in even more astonishment.
Then she swallowed her saliva and said to the little girl: "Nannan, eat slowly, my mother still has it." β
In the shadows, Xu Sa sighed, and then threw out more paper bags one by one, and she didn't care about waking people up, until she threw out the steamed buns in the entire baggage, and the number was definitely half more than the number of people present.
She had inquired in advance, and there were people living in two lanes in the twelve lanes, on one side were old and weak women and children, and on the other side were mostly men in the prime of life.
She has limited ability and can't take care of everyone, and all she can do now is to take care of the weak first.
After throwing away the steamed buns, Xu Sa didn't leave immediately. Instead, he quietly went back and forth in other alleys, and when he finally heard someone muttering strangely, "Who lost the steamed bun", he threw a paper ball made of oiled paper over.
"Oops!" The person who was smashed screamed, and then the voice became louder, "Who!?" β
Xu Sa walked out of the gloom and took off her mask in front of the little girl.
"It's you!?" Xiao Fang'er took a step back and looked at Xu Sa, "It's a big night, why are you here?" β
Without waiting for Xu Sa to answer, her eyes widened in shock, and she was about to whistle when she opened her mouth.
Xu Sa was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth: "Don't call the wolf again!" β
Xiao Fang'er frowned, stretched out her hand and pulled Xu Sa's hand, and opened her mouth to open her throat again: "Dragon-"
Xu Sa's eyes were quick, he took out the last steamed bun and slapped it in Xiao Fang'er's mouth.
"Shut up!" She raised her eyebrows and said sharply, "I'm here to deliver something to you!" β
Xiao Fang'er angrily took down the steamed bun: "You almost knocked my teeth out!" β
Xu Sa supported his forehead.
Xiao Fang'er glanced at the steamed bun in her hand and dispelled the idea of calling people: "You are the one who came to deliver the steamed buns?" β
Xu Sa pursed his lips and groped in his sleeve pocket. Seeing this, Xiao Fang'er hurriedly took two steps back, but Xu Sa took out a silver ticket.
"You ......" recognized that it was actually a bill of 1,000 taels of silver, Xiao Fang'er was shocked, "What do you mean by this?" β
"This is for you." Xu Sa calmly handed the silver ticket to her, "Although I don't know who you are, I can see that you are guarding the people here." So I want you to use this to do something for the people here. β
Xiao Fang'er was skeptical: "If you want to do things for the people here, why don't you do it yourself and let me come?" β
Xu Sa did not shy away from answering: "You know, I am the wife of the owner of Longhang Villa, and I am also from Liao. β
"Of course I know this," Xiao Fang'er's expression became even more strange, "so you can't have any bad intentions, right?" How could the people of Longhang Villa care about the lives and deaths of the refugees here? β
After that, she threw the silver ticket back towards Xu Sa: "Take it, I don't want it, if it's a trap, I won't be fooled!" β
Xu Sa laughed and laughed.
"This is an ordinary silver ticket that can be exchanged anywhere, and it can't be fake."
Stuffing the silver ticket back into the hand of the little girl in front of her, she said, "As for why I found you, it's because I guessed that you might be from the old department of Eastern Chu." β
"Huh!?"
As if being stepped on by a cat's tail, Xiao Fang'er jumped up: "I'm not!" β
"No, no, no," Xu Sa didn't care about this, but said, "No matter who you are, I just want to borrow your hand to help a bunch of people in the alley." And as long as you don't give me out, after half a month, I will come again to give a silver ticket, or a thousand taels. β
Xiao Fang'er stared at Xu Sa vigilantly: "Why did you do this?" β
Xu Sa pursed his lips.
"Maybe it's because when I was displaced and hungry, I dreamed that someone would give me a hot steamed bun and let me wear a warmer clothes, and that dream came true."
"And now, I'm here to make a vow."
After a pause, she said, "Although I came late, I also inquired about the situation of Lane 12. Everything in the world is not black and white, wrong or right, and Longxing Villa does not come to help the refugees here, nor does it have to be their hard-hearted alliance with the imperial court. β
"Although these words are a bit strange for me, a Liao person, as the wife of the owner of the big village, I don't want him to be misunderstood and smeared, I hope you can understand."
"Miss Fang'er, the people here will ask you to hide these things...... Please, too. β
After Xu Sa finished speaking, he put on his mask again and ran towards Longxing Villa in the night.
"Hey......"
Stretching out her hand towards her, Xiao Fang'er lowered her head and looked at the silver ticket in her hand, and grabbed her sideburns strangely.
When Xu Sa returned to Longxing Villa, the sky in the distance was already white. Sweating all over, she opened her neckline to breathe in before she climbed through the window and lay back on the bed.
The terrible thing is that not long after she lay down, she twisted her body and planned to peek at Fu Rushen, and the other party woke up.
ββ¦β¦β
After staring at each other for a long time, Xu sat up sloppily.
Fu Rushen's eyes were misty and inquisitive, which was completely opposite to her blazing spirit. It seems that it is impossible to pretend that he has just woken up, Xu Sa grinned: "The owner of the big village woke up early. β
"You ......" Fu Rushen frowned, "Aren't you the one who got up earlier than before?" β
Xu Sa covered his lips and coughed lightly, exhaling and shrugging: "I just woke up from a nightmare and sweated." β
looked Xu Sa up and down, and saw that her face was flushed, her fine hair was stuck to her face, and her neckline seemed to be wet. Fu Rushen got up and got off the ground.
"Why do you always have nightmares? Do too much to do wrong? β
"Didn't you?" Xu Sa borrowed his words to find himself under the stairs, "Maybe it's because you're by my side, which invisibly makes me a little stressed, and it's easy to have nightmares." β
ββ¦β¦β
Did she really think of him as a lion?
Usually Fu Rushen gets up early, and he always doesn't need Xu Sa's help to dress. Leaving Xu Sa on the bed, he dressed alone, walked to the door and said, "I'm out, you should change into dry clothes as soon as possible, so as not to catch a cold." β
"Okay." Xu Sa hid half of himself in the quilt and smiled at him and beckoned.
glanced at her casually, but saw a picture of a woman with a flushed face and autumn waves in her eyes, half-covered and half-hidden on the bed...... Fu Rushen's Adam's apple moved, and he turned around decisively to leave.
Xu Sa breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as you finish what you want to do, you will relax. Xu Sa dragged his tired steps and changed his clothes, although the quilt was not soaked with sweat, he still put it on the screen to make a look, and then fell back on the bed, and pulled Fu Rushen's quilt over his body.
The quilt that he has covered for several nights vaguely seems to have his smell. Xu Sa quietly pinched the two corners of the quilt, pulled the height to her chin, and sniffed.
The beating heart speed inexplicably slowly calmed down, and the sleepiness also surged upward.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Sa fell asleep deeply.
Not from time to time, Ruyi Building.
"Sasa, you're taking too much risk like this."
In the newly separated secret room on the second floor, Wei Ruyi pursed his lips and said, "You have always been bold, but you know how to consider the consequences when doing things. Today, I went to send steamed buns and silver tickets without authorization, what if Longxing Villa knew about it? β
"I didn't tell the people in the branch over there that I was related to the old department of Dongchu. I represent Longhang Villa. Xu Sa defended in a low voice, "Even if the people of Longxing Mountain Villa know, they will not suspect you." β
"You......" Wei Ruyi smiled and was not a slave, so he could only shake his head, "I know your heart is good, but this time things are really inappropriate." β
"I also know I was reckless." Xu Sa pouted, "It's just that I see that they seem to be very hostile to Longxing Villa, I don't think this is okay, I have to slow down." After all, Sister Ruyi, you also said that the old department of Dongchu should not offend Longxing Villa for the time being. So I ......."
After glancing at Xu Sa, Wei Ruyi pursed her lips: "Forget it, it's not a wrong thing to do everything, so be it." β
Xu Sa didn't go back proudly immediately, but thought about things for a while with half-lowered eyes, and then said: "Sister Ruyi, I thought about it, and I think that after coming out of Longxing Villa, I should buy a small house outside to live in for a while, and then come to you." β
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that as soon as I come out, Fu Rushen will coldly ask Han Ye to check on you again, so that we can't guard against it, and it's a big deal."
Xu Sa said and sighed: "So I want to wait and see outside first." β
Wei Ruyi thought for a while when she heard this, but asked, "To be honest, Sasa, do you think Master Fu cares about you?" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes? β
Biting his lip and thinking for a moment, Xu Sa shook his head: "That person is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, I can't guess his thoughts." β
Wei Ruyi also understood what he said. After all, the other party is the big owner of Longxing Villa, how can people see through their minds casually?
So she said, "Since this is the case, you can't find out the reason for the portrait, so come out sooner." Always stay in Longhang Villa, I'm afraid that something will happen to you. β
Xu Sa bowed solemnly: "I understand." β
Today, she came to Wei Ruyi to discuss leaving Longxing Villa.
This time, she really felt like she had to leave. Taking advantage of this time to be close to Fu Rushen, she felt as if she was much calmer and more sensible, so she quickly stayed away from him.
"Please leave it to Sister Ruyi to take me out." After Xu Sa finished speaking, he took out the jade plate that Xichun Hou gave her earlier and stuffed it into Wei Ruyi's hand.
Wei Ruyi nodded: "After I prepare for two days, I will arrange for a trustworthy person in the branch to pick you up." Then you will recognize each other by your code. β
"Okay."
Coming out of Ruyi Building, Xu Sa had a feeling of being free from the burden.
Although she can feel that she has a good impression of Fu Rushen and has a mind of dependence, it may be a good thing to correctly recognize the problem and then take steps on the road to solving the problem!
Stretching out two fingers in front of him, Xu Sa took a deep breath and walked back to the threshold of Longxing Villa with his skirt.
However, just as she was walking towards Tingfeng Pavilion, she bumped into Hengyuan head-on.
"Ma'am?" When Hengyuan saw her, he was obviously relieved, "You came back in time!" β
"What's wrong?" Xu Sa was puzzled, "Is something wrong?" β
Hengyuan said: "The master has sent his subordinates, please go to the hall for a while." β
Going to the lobby?
Xu Sa was stunned.
In the more than one month she has been in Longxing Villa, Fu Rushen has often been in her Tingfeng Pavilion to reconcile accounts, and other things are in his main building, except for the people from the Liao and Chu factions who came to visit, and the day Fu Xuerong came back, they haven't been in the hall much.
On the way to the hall, Xu Sa asked, "Is there anyone in the village?" β
"Yes." Hengyuan nodded, "Before the end of the year, the master needs to look at the tributary list of the surrounding small countries to arrange the distribution of the dart order. Today happens to be the day the list arrives. β
Xu Sa blinked: "So what does this have to do with me?" β
Hengyuan shook his head: "It is the master's intention to invite you to go." β
That is, he doesn't know either.
Xu Sa was intercepted as soon as he walked towards Tingfeng Pavilion, and it was only a stick of incense when he turned around and went to the hall.
When I arrived at the hall, I found that except for the second owner of the villa who had not yet returned, the stewards of the villa were all there. She stepped forward and nodded at everyone first, and then walked to Fu Rushen's side and bowed: "It's too late for the concubine." β
This is the first time she has said the word "concubine" to him personally. All thanks to the fact that there are still guests in the hall.
Fu Rushen looked at her very satisfied, and said in a low voice, "It's okay", and then introduced to the guest: "Lord Envoy, this is Neiko Xu Sa." β
The envoy was a short and fat man, with two mustaches, and he could guess that he was from a foreign land by looking at his clothes, including speaking with a thick exotic accent: "Mrs. Zhuang Owner, look up for a long time." β
Hearing that the other party was a special envoy, Xu Sa didn't dare to slack off, and replied to him with a thoughtful courtesy.
"Now that the owner's wife has come, let's take a seat." The third uncle, as the only elder present, took the initiative to speak.
Those present nodded their heads and sat down.
When he was confused, Xu Sa was pulled by Fu Rushen and sat on the main seat a few miles away from him.
Xu Sa's eyes were dark again.
Last time she saved face between the representatives of the two factions, she was mentally prepared in advance, and she was still able to be satisfied and satisfied, but this time, she ......
Fu Xuerong, Third Uncle, and Han Ye sat on her left hand.
The exotic envoy sat under her right hand.
Everyone's eyes fell on her and Fu Rushen, and then Fu Rushen's gaze also fell on her face.
"As a newcomer to the village this year, is Mrs. interested in drawing lots?" He asked with a faint smile.
"Lottery?" Xu Sa was stunned and muttered, but saw Fu Rushen give her a look.
Without thinking, Xu Sa smiled and nodded: "Naturally, I'm interested." β
"Then come with me." Fu Rushen stretched out his hand to her.
Xu Sa took advantage of the situation to put his hand on it, and he took it behind the screen on the side of the hall.
The envoy watched the two of them walk in front of him, and smiled and praised: "The owner of the big village and his wife are in deep love, which is really enviable." β
"Yes," the third uncle also smiled, "I just don't know when my kid will be sensible and marry a daughter-in-law for me." β
Han Ye looked at the sky and shook his fan: "This thing, come in line, I will marry the second brother when he marries." β
"You kid!" The third uncle immediately glared at Han Ye unhappily, "Can you give your father some hope?" β
Han Ye shook his fan and smiled without saying a word.
The envoy was surprised: "Why, after all these years, the second owner of the village has not found his sweetheart?" β
