Chapter 37: Back to Jinling (27)
Fei'er is the first time to come to Jinling, I don't know if she is not used to it, she has always been in good health, she fell ill not long after leaving Bingzhou, this is a warm place, but it is uncomfortable, but this can't be blamed on her, so Xinyue let her rest slowly, and did not send her on many errands, but she couldn't rest, a little better, and she had to serve in front of herself.
Today is the day of disembarkation, and she will come to serve by the new moon in good spirits.
"It's here" Feng'er quickly turned around and went to get the cloak of the new moon, the luggage of the new moon, etc., and put them on the deck early, Mama Wang was staring outside, and the dowry of the boat behind, but I have to wait for a while.
"Fei'er, when you arrive at our palace in Jinling, you, mainly recuperate, I will ask Mama Wang to make you some soup to dispel dampness and cold, you eat a few more times and get used to the water and soil of Jinling, and your body will get better immediately." Xinyue took Fei'er's hand, and saw that she was indeed a little haggard, and when Mama Wang first arrived in Dongdu, she was also sick, but she was herself, as if from beginning to end, except for the injury on her head, she was not sick all winter.
There was a knock on the door, Fei'er opened the door, and outside the door was a little tired Li Yan, who asked in a low voice, "Madame, can you get up?" In the next if you want to see the lady. ”
Fei'er asked for instructions, and Xinyue answered, "Master Li, come in." ”
Through the screen, Xinyue saw Li Yan drooping his head, and his feet were more lame than when he saw him a few days ago, "Say hello to Madame." ”
"What's the matter, Lord Lao Li came here so early."
"If you go back to Mrs., I still want to ask about the boat." Li Yan was in a dilemma, and now he has not reported to Cao Yun, especially King Yu. Because of the good prediction of the new moon, except for the ship being blown up, there was no other damage, but this ship exploded outside Gyeonggi, what a big deal this must be, he will be investigated, and when the time comes, he will say that it was the prince of Liang who did it, and he caused some trouble, and he couldn't find evidence, and when the time comes, it will be clear who is behind the black pot.
"Then how is Master Li going to report to the top?" Xinyue waved her hand and asked Feng'er to withdraw the food in front of her, and Feng'er saw that Xinyue had only eaten two bites of porridge, thinking that this had already arrived in Jinling, why did she still eat less and worry a lot about things.
"Think about it, like, report truthfully." Lord Li's heart was crossed, because yesterday the Sun family passed on the words of Xinyue's maidservant, obviously did not want to go to the yamen with him to testify that he saw the prince of Liang State, Xinyue is a noble daughter, how can she go to the official mansion and be asked.
"And after that? Because those incompetent officials can't find out anything, and the superior keeps putting pressure on you, in order to get rid of this trouble, they will turn around and frame you, and it won't be long before your wife and daughter will accompany you on the way to the service station. Xinyue took a sip of hot tea, and sure enough, drinking frosted tea in Jinling was good.
"Please, please save me, Madame," he said, and Li Yan knelt on the ground.
"Master Li, you are a person with an official position, kneeling me is really tormenting me." Despite saying this, Crescent Moon sat down in her place indifferently.
"Madam, it is all up to Madame's orders." Although he said this, Li Yan got up from the ground and stood on one side.
"Lord Li, since you can't find evidence that it is from Liang Guoren, then don't say that it was made by Liang Guoren, I remember that the boat was used to carry tung oil?"
"No, that ship is a new ship that just entered the water last autumn, just used for..."Speaking of this, Li Yan stopped, yes, the tung oil ship, if it was used to transport tung oil once, or if it was entrusted by the people of the Eastern Capital to go to Jinling with a little two barrels of tung oil, and then caught fire, that would be the best explanation.
"That's because I remember wrongly, but when I was a child, I heard my brother tell me that when a new boat enters the water, it always has to be painted with tung oil first, so that the boat will last longer. If there are two barrels of tung oil left, piled up in the cabin, this winter night, if there are some sparks, it will not be fried, but it will be blown up? ”
"Madam is really a good strategy, but, is it just to cheapen those wild wolf lambs of Liang Kingdom?" The great sage will always call the Liang people wild wolves, and the young and strong Liang people are even called wild wolf lambs.
"Naturally, they can't be cheap" Xinyue put the cup beside her, and said calmly, "The prince of Liang Guo travels, no matter how many people around him are masters, there will not be many, before we were defenseless, and it was groundless to ask the prince for help." Those wine bags and rice bags in Jinling don't believe you, as an old subordinate of the prince, can the prince not believe you? They can't just blow up our ship, and go to great lengths to come here, now it is clear that they have fled to Jinling Xiagi, our lord, in Jinling, there should also be some forces, at the very least, there should be some familiar Jingwei, can be used. ”
"Madame means, let me be, Mingli just act as if nothing happened, secretly..."
"Secretly, kill these wolf cubs in our holy land." As he spoke, Xinyue slapped the table suddenly, and this made the hesitant Li Yan feel shocked, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Yes, I must do this well." ”
"Mama Wang" Xinyue saw that Li Yan was going to resign to do something, Xinyue called Mama Wang, Mama Wang had been standing at the screen, and listened to Xinyue say these words without saying a word, and when Xinyue called her, she immediately restrained her hand and said, "The slave is here." ”
"Send Master Li."
"Yes" Mama Wang knew that Xinyue was asking her to explain Li Yan again, so she led Li Yan out.
After a while, Mama Wang sent Li Yan away, and Xinyue was already standing in front of the window, wearing her hat, "Mama, is it windy outside?" Otherwise, I won't be able to blow the silk yarn on my face, and it's really embarrassing for me to be wrapped like this. ”
"Madame, when... With such a plan? When Mama Wang squatted down and sorted out her shoes and socks for the new moon, she found that they had already been tidied up, "This lady is finally interested, and she knows that your shoes and socks have to be tied inside." ”
"It's not a slave or maid, the slave is still always careless, this is directly tied by the lady." Feng'er waved her hand and didn't admit it, just because of the matter of tying shoes and garter belts for the new moon, she was reprimanded by Mama Wang, but she still couldn't remember it every day.
Xinyue moved her ankle and said, "Mama, did you realize that I am actually very smart today?" ”
"The eldest princess once told the slave maid that she didn't want you, madam, to be too smart." Mama Wang arranged the strap of the cloak for the new moon again, and found that this was also tied by the new moon, "The eldest princess said, Guo Hui is easy to die." ”
"Mama, I only say this to you, my mother, I haven't done it myself." After speaking, Xinyue smiled bitterly.
"Yes, the eldest princess hopes you can do it." Mama Wang also wanted to persuade Xinyue, and when Xinyue arrived, she stretched out her hand and tidied up her sideburns for Mama Wang, "Mama, she is dead, how do you know what she thinks, if she really has this heart, she should also teach me personally." After saying that, the new moon did not stay, turned around and walked out.
That's right, Xinyue resented her mother, she had been like this since she was a child, and she didn't encounter it, she couldn't live, and it was a fatal event, so why did she leave her young brother and herself and follow her father. It was because of her weakness that she sent someone under the fence, looked at her face, and couldn't even refuse the marriage she didn't want to, and her own brother, but she became more and more estranged, she made such a big decision, no one discussed, and no one supported herself, these, Xinyue stood on the bow of the boat, looking east at Jinling, which was close at hand, her tears fell on her palm, fortunately, her face was covered with white veil, but her tears were really hot.
Xinyue closed her palms and slowly walked off the boat, and before she stepped on the ground, she listened to Yao'er's cheerful voice, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are finally back." ”
