Chapter 182: The Second Ancestor
Chu Shancheng grabbed the reins, glanced at Dong Wan deeply, and finally handed out his hand to Dong Wan and pulled him onto the horse.
Dong Wan's small body is extremely thin and thin, and compared with Chu Shancheng, who has broad shoulders and thick chest behind him, he really looks like a man protecting his little daughter-in-law.
continued: "The matter of the deed of sale, I am trying to persuade you to make friends with Mao Xiang, don't get too involved. ”
But the conversation suddenly changed again: "But if you really don't want to sell it, I won't buy it." Dali Temple explained to me, I can do as much as possible, and I don't have to do it. The tone in his voice didn't matter, he was like a second ancestor.
Dong Wan was surprised by his sudden change of attitude, and turned around to look at Chu Shancheng to confirm whether he was joking or serious.
As a result, before he looked back and saw his face, Chu Shancheng took a big hand and turned it back to the front: "What are you looking at, sit firm." ”
After saying that, as soon as he pulled the reins, the horse ran up the street, sent Dong Wanyi to the door of the house like a swift wind, and put him on the ground by the collar.
complained and said, "I've lost weight like this, and I still run when I eat." Then he turned the horse's head and hurried away again.
A set of actions is smooth, and when you finish saying and doing what you want to say, you can do it
didn't give Dong Wan a chance to scold back. Dong Wan held back his swear words, so he had to go into the courtyard and point at Xiaohua and scold him.
It's just that poor Xiaohua scolded early for no reason, and when she saw Dong Wan for several days, she turned her head into the nest and shrunk up, and she didn't let him brush his hair.
。。。。。。
Things went on like this for days.
Seal and Bai Ruoyun had nothing to do at home, made a lot of side dishes, and were going to see Mao Xiang, and by the way, they wanted to inquire about the cause and process of Dong Xiaowan's incident back then.
Seal and Bai Ruoyun didn't want to go on a whim, Seal had also seen Mao Xiang a few times in the Hanlin Academy before, but in the kind of place in the Hanlin Academy, it was inconvenient to speak, just chatting a few words and caring about each other's current situation.
But no matter how the seal tried to find out where the Mao Xiang family lived, whether to come to the seal to live and take care of each other, all they got was a negative answer.
The seal thought it was the pretentiousness of the scholar, who could not tolerate the shade of others.
The two parties pushed each other, and the seal wanted to take care of him, but Mao Xiang kept refusing to be taken care of by the seal.
After a long time, there was no progress at all, the seal was in a hurry, and it was not a matter to go on like this, not only did Dong Xiaowan's matter not be asked at all, but he didn't know about Mao Xiang's recent situation at all.
There was no way, the seal entrusted the person quietly inquired about Mao Xiang's residence, and was going to directly take some things for daily life to supplement him, first cut and then play.
But when the seal and Bai Ruoyun sat in a sedan chair and came to the alley of Lepeiyuan, where neither horse could pass in parallel, it seemed that everything had an answer.
No wonder Mao Xiang has been reluctant to reveal where he lives, a strong and upright scholar lives in this fireworks willow lane, and no one can say it.
Bai Ruoyun's hand was held by the seal, and the two of them got off the sedan chair, walking little by little and touching it, Bai Ruoyun's sigh couldn't stop.
How to say, Mao Xiang was a benefactor to Dong Xiaowan's case at the beginning, if he hadn't single-handedly turned things around, Dong Xiaowan's name as a demon girl would be a certainty, and I don't know how many people would be scolded by the world.
But Mao Xiang fought to the death with all the big officials in the hall, and after Li Xiangliang's death, the emperor issued an edict.
Dong Xiaowan's case was temporarily shelved and became an unsolved case.
If it weren't for the presumption, her Bai Ruoyun's daughter would not have died peacefully.
But such a high-spirited and bright character is now temporarily living in such a pickled place, how can the two of them not feel uncomfortable?
Lepeiyuan Hutong twists and turns, just in time for a spring rain, and the muddy ground is very difficult to walk.
There are a few large stones in the middle of the road, and if you don't want to get stuck in the mud, you can only step on these stones and take your time step by step.
Two people are in a hurry to go out, where do you think that you will encounter this situation, the trouser legs are scattered long shirts, and it is the most inconvenient to walk this way.
The seal bent down, pulled up Bai Ruoyun's trouser legs, stuffed them firmly inside, and handled his robe again, tying a knot at the waist.
Touch it little by little along the base of the wall.
The innermost house in Lepei Garden looks particularly winding and quiet under the shade of the bamboo forest, and the spring breeze blows, and it rustles.
You don't have to guess to know that this must be the place where Mao Xiang lives. To be able to have such sentiments in this kind of place, as if he was hidden in the world, he is as leisurely as he is, and only a literati like Mao Xiang can do it.
Dong Wan didn't take any cases in the past two days, and went to the county government in the morning to go through some procedures and came back.
Now he is leisurely lying on the rocking chair in the yard with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, and he is still gently shaking the pu fan in his hand, so comfortable.
Suddenly, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Bang Bang!"
"Anyone, please?"
Of course, Seal and Bai Ruoyun also knew that there was a high probability that Mao Xiang was still in the Hanlin Academy. Just thinking that Mao Xiang is not young anymore, the two guessed that he would not live alone after all, and there would always be one or two people in the house who took care of him, or concubines, or maids and maids or something.
Dong Wan didn't open the door rashly, and asked first through the door: "Who are you looking for, what's the matter?" ”
Seal and Bai Ruoyun were startled by the young man's voice.
How could there be a young man in the house?
The seal shouted at the top of his voice: "Looking for a pretence, an acquaintance is visiting." ”
Dong Wan didn't have any hostility when he heard that someone was coming, and he could vaguely see a man and a woman coming from the crack in the door, carrying a bunch of large bags and small bags in their hands.
Dong Wan thought that someone from Mao Xiang's house had come, so he quickly opened the door: "Eh, the door is open." ”
There was a "squeak" and the door was pushed open.
Whether it was Dong Wan inside, or the seal outside the door and Bai Ruoyun were all stunned in place.
It's all unexpected faces.
The seal didn't even hold back, he didn't even think about it, and a bald sentence came out of his mouth: "Hikoyuki." ”
Dong Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was indeed frightened just now, not frightened by the appearance of Bai Ruoyun and the seal, because he had already been mentally prepared. The circle in this capital is so small, sooner or later we will meet.
Dong Wan was frightened that the moment Seal and Bai Ruoyun saw him just now, he was suddenly stunned, and Dong Wan thought that the two of them recognized him.
Ignoring the seal suddenly calling the wrong name, he made a sloppy look, and introduced himself first: "I rented a house here with Mao Xiang, and he went to the Hanlin Academy, who are you?" ”
The seal was also very cramped, and quickly explained: "We are the old man of Mao Xiang, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I came to see him worriedly, and brought some daily things." ”
