Chapter 23: The Marquis of Yongning
On the second day, the sun was three poles, and Fei Chi woke up.
Sunlight shines through the window edges, creating a circle of light in the room, giving a very unreal feeling. Fei Chi remembered the heart-to-heart conversation under the moon, and felt even more strange and unbelievable.
Who does Lu Shaotang play for?
Why should he, or they, help him? Feichi thought a little distractedly.
Fei Chi got up and went to the courtyard, fetched a bucket of water from the well and poured it into the wooden basin, picked up the water with both hands and splashed it on his face, the cold well water washed away the fatigue on his face, and instantly refreshed.
The next room was locked.
Lu Shaoli is gone? Lu Shaoli is really not a partner, but he just uses this identity to get close to him and help him on the road to the clouds? Feichi thought a little distractedly.
"Master, are you up?"
Wumo walked in from outside, and when he saw him, he said: "The painter has painted the portrait, and the little one will take it to the Dingguo Mansion to ask Miss Aman to identify it." It's really not a coincidence, Mrs. Shizi and Miss Yujiao are not there,...... The porter didn't know when they would be able to return, so I had to come back first. ”
"Gu Aman went out with Miss Yujiao?"
Ah Man is Yujiao's servant, and she will follow Yujiao wherever she goes. Fei Chi nodded and asked, "Where did they go early in the morning?" ”
"Miss Xie San will return home this morning, and Mrs. and Miss will send it in person." Wumo made a bitter face, "The gatekeeper of the building said that he would not be able to return for a while,...... Otherwise, they don't know and don't dare to call the shots. ”
Fei Chi glanced at Wumo, he couldn't hide something in his heart, he must not have seen Miss Yurui. After all, she is not from the mansion, she is dressed as Miss Yujiao, where can she find it in the concierge? Lou Guogong's Mansion is full of people, presumably Lou Mansion will not let the little guy know that there is a stand-in in the house.
Miss Xie San is back home this morning? Could it be that Miss Yujiao was fine that night, but Miss Xie San was injured?
No wonder Yongninghou suddenly came to the city defense camp and asked the murderer with a fierce attitude, Yongninghou felt sorry for his girl, and wanted to vent his anger for Xie Jiarou. There are a lot of taboos in the Gaomen clan, and it is rare for the two families to support each other with the same hatred.
Filsch felt deeply derelict that it had missed such an important matter. Although the matter has passed, the murderer has not been caught. Miss Xie San was injured, how could the Marquis of Yongning be appeased?
Yongning Hou Xie Wenyun is a well-known calf protector, even if the case is transferred to Dali Temple, Xie Wenyun will pick on him. After all, it was his city defense battalion that went out to hunt down and let the murderer escape.
Yongning Hou's younger sister, Huang Guifei, has been favored by the saint for more than ten years, and her son Yuan Tan has been crowned the crown prince. It is said that the imperial concubine loves the third girl Xie very much, and now that the third girl has an accident, the imperial concubine may not know about it.
The errand on Xiuhu was not done, and the Xie family studied deeply, wouldn't he be able to eat and walk around?
Fei Chi chuckled in his heart, and instantly felt bad. His handsome face sank, and the color in his eyes turned cold, "Wumo, hurry back to the Dingguo Mansion and wait,...... No, bring the painter with you, ask Mrs. Shizi to help, and you must post the portrait of the murderer today! ”
"Oh,"
Without a response, he sat on the stone bench and placed the sparse food he took from the kitchen, and was about to urge the young master to eat, when he raised his eyes, he saw Fei Chi's pale face, and immediately stood up, "Master, don't worry,...... It's just a portrait,...... The little ones are waiting for you to finish eating,......"
"Go!"
Fei Chi's voice was cold, leaving no mercy, "If you still want to follow me, you must do it well today!" ”
"Yes, the little one is going now!"
……
The door of the Yongning Marquis Mansion was wide open, and the Yongning Marquis Mrs. Xu led the maid and the maid to greet her in front of the door.
Early in the morning, the Lou Mansion sent someone to say that the third girl was in good health, and Mrs. Shizi would personally send the girl back to the house. Mrs. Hou was overjoyed, swept away the sadness on her face, and instructed her subordinates to prepare, and she also asked the maid to help her make up.
Two carriages drove out of the Dingguo Mansion Courtyard one after the other. The palatial carriage in front was sat by Miss Xie San from Yongning Houfu, wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk all around, the light blue tulle of the curtain was gently blown by the wind, and the delicate girl in the car was smiling and chattering.
"You don't need to worry, I'm all right, you see, I'm as strong as a cow now!" Xie Jiarouhao raised her wrist, her jade hand crossed her waist, her lips were pursed, her cheeks bulged, and she winked at Yujiao.
Yu Jiao snorted and was amused by her, "It's still a cow, it's like a stupid fish spitting bubbles!" ”
"Hmph, dare to say I'm a stupid fish!" The three girls had stiff faces.
"Oh, it's not a stupid fish," Jade raised her eyes and smiled slyly, "So, it's a stupid cow?" ”
After Yujiao finished speaking, she giggled happily.
"Okay, you, you're making fun of me!"
Miss Xie raised her jade fingers and reached over to tickle her squeaky nest. The two of them are handkerchiefs, and they are close to Japan, and they have gotten along for a few days, and the relationship has become closer.
Xie Jiarou knew that Yu Jiao was afraid of this, and before her jade finger could reach out, Yu Jiao laughed first and exclaimed, "Jiajia, okay, spare me." ”
"Hehe, don't ,......" Miss Xie San didn't make much effort, seeing that she was already laughing, and her hands had loosened.
Lou Yujiao's laughter couldn't be stopped, and Ah Man behind heard it worriedly, and reminded in a low voice: "Girl, it's time to go to the Hou Mansion in a while,......"
"Hahaha, haha,......" Yujiao finally stopped laughing, and immediately sat down seriously, "Jiajia, don't make trouble!" ”
"Hey, it's okay!"
Xie Jiarou lifted the light blue veil and looked out, and the carriage had already arrived on the street at the front gate of Yongning Houfu.
The gate of the Yongning Marquis Mansion opened, a pair of stone lions in front of the door pulled red cloth, and more than a dozen people stood side by side. A few people in splendid costumes surrounded a woman. The woman was wearing a sunrise five-seal beaded hairpin, a narrow blue cloud satin gown, and a jade flowered skirt, her brows furrowed, and she wanted to look this way.
"Ah Niang," her mother greeted her with a bunch of people in front of the Hou Mansion, and Miss Xie San was startled first, she immediately called the car to stop, got off the carriage and rushed towards her mother. "A-Niang, Jia'er is back."
"Jiarou, slow down," Mrs. Xu took her daughter's warm hand and looked her up and down with a pair of eyes. Seeing that her face was red and as smart as before, Mrs. Xu put her mind at ease. She looked at her daughter lovingly, "What kind of decentness is it to always be so reckless?" ”
"Mother, why did you go out to welcome Jia'er," Miss Xie San's eyes filled with tears, "This, it's windy,...... A-Niang, let's go in! ”
"Jia'er," seeing that her daughter was happy, Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to scold her for being rude, raised her eyes, bowed slightly to Mrs. Wen who came later, and said with a smile: "Madam, you are a rare guest, please talk in the house!" ”
"Okay, Madame, please!"
Wen Sichun blessed the salute and followed Mrs. Xu into the mansion.
The group gathered around them, walked through the verandah, and sat down in the main hall of the atrium.
Yujiao stepped forward to worship Mrs. Xu, "Madame is above, Yujiao and the banquet had an accident, which caused Jiajia to be affected, and she didn't take good care of Jiajia, Yujiao felt deeply guilty,......"
Her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes looked pale, and her eyes flickered in anticipation, and she was uneasy.
"Oh, good girl, hurry up," Mrs. Xu hurriedly helped her up, "Jia'er and you have been good since childhood, I can't bear any of you to get hurt,...... You're scared, too. If you think about it, you're scared, and in the future, it's good to be careful. ”
Yujiao got up, "Madame is very right! ”
"Look, this face is not very good, and it has to be raised well." Mrs. Xu looked at her lovingly and turned to Mrs. Wen, "The little girl is grateful for Madame's wonderful rejuvenation!" ”
"Madame said this, Sichun was really frightened," Mrs. Wen lowered her eyes, with an apologetic face, "The third girl was innocently affected, Sichun was really uneasy in her heart, but fortunately, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he is all safe." ”
"Yes, it's good luck," Mrs. Xu sighed.
She looked at her daughter as she spoke, and everyone came forward to visit.
Everyone's thoughts were on the three girls, Wen Sichun gave Yu Jiao a look, and the mother and daughter took their leave and got into the carriage to go home.
