Chapter 43: Return to Beijing to restore life
Xu Huan was as good as a stream, and asked the staff to draw up a recital, which he saw with his own eyes and quickly sent it out.
It will take a lot of time to get from Nanyuan to the capital, so this matter will be put aside.
The rest of the affairs are well managed by Ji Jing Jinlu, and the military camp is also in Wan Song, so there is no need to worry about it. Xu Huan listened to Dr. Huang's advice, became the shopkeeper, and recuperated with peace of mind.
The main reason, of course, was that he found himself lying down for two months and everything was in order. It seems that it is not enough to squeeze subordinates in the past, and in order to let them realize their potential, they will have to squeeze more in the future.
In the middle of this, Ji Jing told him about Xu Yin.
If it is replaced by someone else, it is naturally not good to interfere more in the master's family affairs, but Ji Jing has been with Xu Huan for more than 20 years, and his brothers are not so close, so he will say it directly.
Xu Huan sighed: "I'm sorry Ah Si, in order to inherit the family business, I wanted to keep her at home, but I chose such a person, so that she was almost mistaken." ”
Ji Jing comforted: "Adults are also blinded, who of us wants to get it?" This kid is considered to have grown up with us, and everyone has lost their eyes, which shows how deeply he is hiding. ”
Xu Huan nodded and pulled the topic back: "Ah Si has a soft personality, I used to be afraid that she would suffer a loss if she got married." ”
Ji Jing said: "Although the eldest lady is gentle, she is not weak. And with such a temperament, she is easy to like. As long as the adults are carefully selected, they will be able to choose a good son-in-law for the eldest lady. It's the third lady, who has been lawless by you since she was a child, and if you go to someone else's house, it's difficult to do. ”
Xu Huan thought for a while and nodded: "What you said is reasonable." ”
"So, that's it?"
Xu Huan frowned in distress: "If that's the case, Ah Si is a little old." Blame me for not thinking it through earlier and delaying her. ”
Ji Jing disagreed: "The eldest lady is only sixteen, where is she big?" With the character of the eldest lady, there are many young talents to choose from, and adults should not be picky when the time comes. ”
"Then start paying attention from now on." Xu Huan said, "Tell the old lady, if there is any good candidate, let her look at each other." ”
"Yes."
……
Nanyuan's recital passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, and the moment he arrived in the capital, Xue Ru also rushed back.
"Miss Xue, the capital has arrived." An inconspicuous carriage stopped at the city gate, and someone lifted the curtain and said.
The carriage was simple, and Xue Ru in the car was dressed even more plainly, dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of a peasant woman, with a cloth towel wrapped around her head, and her face was a little pale because of her injuries, and she didn't see Miss Xue's demeanor at all.
At the beginning, she was injured and fell into the water, and was rescued by the boatman, the silver money on her body was lost, and the dead soldiers accompanying her were gone, Xue Ru had to be the only jade pendant and take the boatman into Beijing.
This boatman was not the master's person, but she hired him temporarily, in order to let him escort him into Beijing, Xue Ru didn't know how much he promised along the way.
Seeing that the other party lifted the curtain at will, regardless of whether it was inconvenient for her to be in the car, Xue Ru showed an annoyed look in his eyes and said, "How many times have I told you, just talk, don't lift the curtain at every turn." ”
The boatman disagreed, and said, "I don't think about it for a while, so don't worry about it." Now that the capital has arrived, the reward you promised ......"
Xue Rudao: "What's the hurry? You'll have to wait until I pack up and get back to talk, right? ”
"So where are we going now?"
"Find an inn first, let me clean up."
The boatman didn't say anything more, and as she had said, she paid the poll tax and went into the city, found a ready-to-wear store to buy clothes, and found a humble inn.
Xue Ru cleaned up, looked at himself in the mirror, and gritted his teeth hatefully.
She hasn't been on the road these days, and she hasn't recovered from her injuries, and despite the fat powder, she still looks pale and unfocused.
The most hateful thing is the hair, which was cut by the kid's sword, and the top of her head is almost empty, she finally came up with a hairstyle, filled it with a wig, and looked like it was barely serious. Just don't touch it crookedly, otherwise your blue scalp will be exposed.
She fell into such an embarrassing situation, and she blamed those two people. That boy with superb swordsmanship, she doesn't know her name, that's it, Miss Xu San, when she understands the master, she will definitely want her to look good.
Xue Ru took a deep breath and continued to dress in the mirror. When it was dark, she left the inn and went to a house.
She watched six ways, listened to all directions, and made sure that no one was following her, so she went through the dark and knocked on the door.
"Who?" There was a voice inside.
Xue Ru lowered his voice: "I, Xue Ru." ”
The door opened softly, and she hurried inside, turning back to close.
It was a mother-in-law who opened the door, looking at her with a suspicious expression: "Miss Xue, didn't you go out of Beijing on business?" Is this coming back? ”
Xue Ru nodded, and as he walked inside, he asked, "Where is the master?" ”
The mother-in-law said: "The master has something to do, not here." ”
Xue Ru said: "You go and spread the word and tell the master that Xue Ru is back." ”
The mother-in-law hesitated: "That's it?" Don't you have a side word? ”
Xue Ru was displeased: "What's the matter?" I've only been away from Beijing for three months, and I can't even see my master? ”
"Nope." The mother-in-law hurriedly denied it, "It's just that the master has been very busy lately, and he hasn't been here for a long time, and the little worry has delayed Miss Xue's affairs." ”
Xue Ru eased his face and said, "You just say, I want to meet the master and explain this mission in detail." ”
The mother-in-law responded: "Yes, please Miss Xue wait inside for a while, and the little one will go and pass the word." ”
Xue Ru, as in the past, went to the wing.
As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a sweet aroma and couldn't help frowning.
This is the place where she meets her master, where does the smell of incense powder come from?
Xue Ru couldn't help but get up and take a closer look, and soon found a few traces.
There was a handkerchief on the couch, and it carried this greasy fragrance. The incense burner had been tampered with, and the incense pills in it were not her usual use.
Xue Ru remembered the attitude of her mother-in-law just now, and slapped the table with hatred.
Which goblin is this, taking advantage of her absence to entangle the master? Although the master has never been more than a woman, in this house, no one dares to steal her limelight!
Xue Ru took a deep breath, tucked his sideburns, and smiled arrogantly.
No matter who it is, she's back now, and when she sees her master, I'll clean her up!
Xue Ru didn't wait in vain, and an hour later, the door of the house opened.
A carriage came in silently and stopped in the courtyard, and someone stepped down on a stool.
As soon as Xue Ru walked over, he heard the door open, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Master." She bowed her body and saluted, and instantly showed a pitiful expression, "Ru'er is back!" ”
The man said a faint "um", walked to the desk and sat down, took the tea handed by the mother-in-law, and saw that the door was closed, and there were only two people left, so he said: "You dare to come back, I still underestimate your courage." ”
Xue Ru was stunned: "Master? "What's going on? She hasn't said it yet!
A piece of music was thrown on her, accompanied by a faint mocking voice: "Xu Huan's music arrived earlier than you!" ”
