209 Mortal
After Jin Niang watched Changle lead Xiao Yu'er away, she asked Qinghe to call Mama Qin. The list of the treasury brought by Mama Qin, Jin Niang drew a few things on it with a pen, and threw away Changle's shoes, Wei Qingyao said this, so she asked Mama Qin to send a thank you gift in person.
Mama Qin took the order and left.
However, she did not go directly to the party Wei Qingyao, but went to the courtyard arranged by the Xu family for Wei Qingyao, and found the housekeeper and grandmother beside Wei Qingyao.
This grandmother is not the same person as the grandmother who went to buy shoes for Changle earlier, but her identity is more decent, she is the old grandmother next to Wei Qingyao, and she is also the grandmother arranged by the eldest princess by Wei Qingyao's side to control his subordinates.
This grandmother knows everything about her master, and she was told about the little girl who helped the Xu family last night.
Originally, she also estimated that someone from the Xu family should come early today. Who knew that it would not arrive until midnight.
But Mama didn't think much about it, but she was busy with other people's affairs, and she only found time now.
This is also understandable, after all, the girl in Xu's house was almost lost last night, this early in the morning, I am afraid that the lady in charge will still appease the little girl, and I will go to my mother-in-law where to talk about it, and it is not too late to send someone at this time.
Mama politely excused herself, only saying that Wei Qingyao is living in the Xu Mansion now, so she categorically didn't see the girl of the Xu family in distress but didn't help.
Later, I may think that Wei Qingyao noticed that a girl's family lost her shoes, which was a loss of gentlemanly etiquette - after all, if it's okay, what do you do when a little boy looks at the feet of a little girl? So after that, this grandmother didn't say much, and left a congratulatory gift under the enthusiasm of Mama Qin, and politely sent the person out.
That night, before Xu Erlang went down to the palace, he asked someone to send a message to Jinniang, saying that he would bring Li Hehui to his home for dinner in the evening.
Jin Niang saw that it was not too early now, and it was not impossible to prepare a banquet, but some big dishes were too late to Zhang Luo. Thinking so, she explained to Pianpian and hurriedly asked people to go to the restaurant to order a good banquet on the table.
Pian Pian happily agreed, and sighed with Jinniang, "Let the second brother thank Master Li for me tonight, if it weren't for him, alas, ......"
"The little girl's family wants to do so much. This matter is handled by me and your second brother, so you can show up and say a few words of thanks. ”
"Good. At that time, my sister-in-law asked someone to call me. ”
"Okay."
When it was dark, Xu Erlang and Li Hehui also arrived at the house.
Li Hehui wanted to have a drink with Xu Erlang tonight, so he came straight to Xu Erlang's carriage and came over, and his own carriage was sent away by him as early as when he was in the Yamen.
When Jin Niang learned the news, she was relieved and at the same time, she told the girl to go to the front yard to prepare a guest room for Li Hehui.
Xu Erlang, Li Hehui hung in the front yard, and went back to the backyard to change into homely clothes. Jin Niang said a few words to him, and also said that she would let Pian Pian go and thank him again.
Xu Erlang said, "It should be." Let people call for fluttering. ”
Jin Niang beckoned to Qingsui, and Qingsui ran away quickly. As a result, before she walked out of Cuibai Garden, she bumped into Pian Pian who was walking towards her.
When Jin Niang saw that Qingsui brought Pian Pian so quickly, she asked Pian Pian with a smile, "Is this a Scud, coming so fast?" ”
"No, it's that I've been paying attention to the news of my second brother's return home. As soon as I learned that my second brother had returned home, I came to Cuibai Garden non-stop. ”
Jin Niang laughed and scolded her, "Little clever ghost." Pian Pian smiled and threw herself into her arms and made a mess with Jinniang.
After Xu Erlang cleaned up, he led Pian Pian to the front.
In the flower hall in the front yard, Li Hehui was talking to Wei Qingyao and Chang'an.
Several children were originally in a hurry to do their homework, but when they learned that Xu Erlang had come to the flower hall, they were ready to come over to say hello to the second uncle. Who knew that after I came, I found that there was only Master Li inside, and the second uncle went back to change clothes.
Leaving guests alone here, what's that like? This kind of unreliable thing can only be done by his second uncle.
While slandering his second uncle in his heart that he was not as good as a child, and his work was too unreliable, he put on the posture of the master's family and greeted Li Hehui.
Li Hehui saw that he was trying to make himself look like an adult, and asked him how he was going to Yamen today? Won't you feel uncomfortable on the first day after the holiday? He also said that Master Li should pay more attention to his body, the weather has become cold recently, and there seem to be signs of snow, so he should pay attention to adding clothes.
Changping said this, Su Zheng helped from time to time, and the two of them seemed to talk about cross talk, and the person who said it wanted to laugh.
But it's all serious, what's the matter with their laughter?
So Chang'an, Wei Qingyao, Ban'er, and Su Xuan all tried their best to make serious expressions, but in fact, they lowered their heads and covered their lips from time to time, and their bellies were all broken with laughter.
They endured too hard, so when Xu Erlang led Pian Pian in, everyone had a sense of relief.
Of course, it is still necessary to exclude Changping and Su Zheng. Because the desire of the two to perform has not been satisfied, when they saw the arrival of the main master, the two of them couldn't help but feel some small regrets in their hearts.
But if you have regrets, I'll make up for it next time.
Changping opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Li, you and the second uncle talk slowly, we won't bother you, let's go back first, and when you come back to the house, I will accompany you to chat." ”
Li Hehui's face is handsome, and the corners of his eyes are smiling. He nodded happily, "Then next time I will still have trouble Changping." ”
"No trouble, no trouble. It's just a little bit of the friendship of the landlords, which is all as it should be. ”
Changping was satisfied, and several people in Chang'an greeted Xu Erlang and greeted him, and they all came out of the flower hall.
After several people went out, Pian Pian walked to the middle of the flower hall and saluted Li Hehui, "Thank you Lord Li for your generosity last night, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid my life would be difficult to protect." ”
Li Hehui looked at the girl under the light. The girl's figure is slender, her eyes are shining, her face is already brighter and more gorgeous than others, not to mention that she is looking at the beauty under the lamp at this time, her beauty has been magnified countless times, the affectionate eyes, cherry lips, and the gesture of wanting to say and be ashamed, all of which make Li Hehui's heart beat faster, and the whole population is very dry.
He looked away, coughed, and then smiled as if nothing had happened, "I already thanked you last night, why did you thank you again?" Li Hehui looked at Xu Erlang, "Shiheng is like this, but he is outside?" I regard you as a confidant and friend, and your sister is also mine...... Sister, I never watched her have an accident but ignored it and turned a blind eye.
Xu Erlang said, "One yard is one yard, you should be solemnly thanked, and you still have to thank you." This is the bare minimum of etiquette. He poured another cup of hot tea for Li Hehui, "Don't think it's polite, just take it." ”
Li Hehui shook his head with a smile, "Okay, well, I listen to you." ”
Pian Pian thanked him solemnly again, and at this time, the little guy who went out to buy a banquet also came back, and Xu Erlang asked people to set the meal.
Seeing this, Pian Pian smiled and said, "Second brother, you can accompany Master Li to dinner, I'll go back first." ”
"Okay."
Pian Pian saluted again, and walked out of the flower hall with brisk steps.
Li Hehui looked up, only to see her peach-colored clothes flying, wrapped around her legs, feet and waist under the blowing of the night wind, more and more lined with the little girl's body is clear, and her waist is slender like a weeping willow by the river, as if it will break if it is broken. And when she was far away, there seemed to be a faint fragrance of plum blossoms on her body in the air, which made him sniff deeply.
Li Hehui and Xu Erlang drank until late this night and went to bed, if they didn't go to the yamen tomorrow, the two would have drunk until dawn. But it was also very late when the two dispersed, and for nearly two days, Jin Niang had already fallen asleep.
She was in a daze when she noticed the bed on her side sink and a light smell of wine and moisture coming to her face.
Jin Niang opened her sleepy eyes, just in time to see Xu Erlang fall from the tent, and extinguished the candle with a breath. She snuggled up obediently, "What time is it?" ”
"It's two shifts."
"Oh, then you go to sleep, you have to wake up early tomorrow." Jin Niang was still very sleepy, and when these words came out, she fell asleep again. At this moment, she had completely forgotten that she had been waiting for Xu Erlang to come back, and was going to ask him about the follow-up of the matchmaker's affairs, but she couldn't stay up after waiting and slept soundly.
Xu Erlang saw that she was asleep, so he changed her position. Jin Niang's body seemed to have her own consciousness, adjusted to the most comfortable position, and then slept more and more sweetly in his arms.
In the next two days, Xu Erlang had to be busy with the affairs that had been piled up years ago, and also had the joy of participating in the concubine of his colleagues, and he came back a little late, and Jin Niang was busy sobering him up and serving him to freshen up, so he didn't find the opportunity to ask the matchmaker about it.
It wasn't until the fourth day after the Lantern Festival that Chang'an and the others were about to respond to the Heavenly Academy, and Xu Erlang took a day off and had a day of leisure.
There are always a lot of things at the beginning of the new semester, and it snowed overnight last night, and the roads were buried by snow and it was a little difficult to walk, so Xu Erlang was ready to personally send a few small ones.
Chang'an Changping, plus Ban'er and Su Xuan Su Zheng, and Wei Qingyao also resigned the people sent by the eldest princess to see him off, so there are really a lot of people, and it is indeed worth his personal trip.
A few people set off after breakfast, because the snow was slippery and difficult to walk, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at Yingtian Academy. Later, I settled a few children, met a few division commanders, and was busy, Xu Erlang returned home and it was already dark.
But this was already much earlier than the time he went home a few days ago.
As soon as the children left, the house seemed to be clean, and when there were few things, people's hearts were empty, and there was always something uncomfortable.
Xu Erlang saw that Jin Niang was uncomfortable, so he found a topic to make her change her mood.
And the thing that Jin Niang is most concerned about is the matchmaker, Xu Erlang took out the matter of the matchmaker and told her, Jin Niang's attention was diverted, and there was really no time to be melancholy.
"The matchmaker met the ...... of the mountain bandits"
Xu Erlang said, Jin Niang listened, she listened very carefully, and wanted to see what evil things this person had done and what would happen.
But as soon as she heard that the matchmaker escaped because she met a mountain bandit, Jin Niang was dissatisfied. Good people are dead when they encounter mountain bandits, and only when bad people meet mountain bandits can they escape so smoothly. God is so unfair, she is not convinced!
"She still has some skills, and she has caught the head of the traffickers. After that, I made a lot of efforts, kidnapped a lot of little girls, and gained a firm foothold in that organization, and I can be regarded as the number one person I can count......"
Jin Niang hated her teeth itching. Stepping on the corpses of those little girls and climbing up, this person's heart must be dark!
"It was an accident to meet Pianpin, but it is true that they planned to create chaos during the Lantern Festival and took the opportunity to kidnap a few more children. In addition, the people in the yamen also interrogated that the matchmaker had returned to the capital before and had repeatedly made several trips to the corner gate of the house, in order to bribe the people in the house and find an opportunity to take Xiao Yu'er away. As for the plan to sell Xiaoyuer to the land of fireworks or send it to Yangzhou to be a skinny horse after taking it away, Xu Erlang didn't say anything.
But even so, it was enough for Jinniang to be angry. Her whole body exploded, her chest rose and fell, she was angry, she had angina, and her face changed color because of the pain.
This frightened Xu Erlang, so he quickly held her in his arms and comforted her along her chest. "Alright, alright, it's not all good. Her poisonous plan did not succeed, whether it was Xiaoyuer or Pianpiao, she is now safe and sound. Don't be angry, make yourself angry again, do I dare to tell you anything in detail in the future? ”
Jin Niang knew that Xu Erlang was right, and she really shouldn't have ruined her body because of an outsider. But as long as she thought that the matchmaker had come to the house several times and wanted to conspire to take her away, there was an uncontrollable surge of anger and depression in her chest and abdomen. This torture made her feel uncomfortable, and she even felt that it was difficult to breathe.
She tore her collar twice, and Xu Erlang quickly unbuttoned the buckle at her collar when she saw this. Afraid that she was really suffocated, he simply took off the outer blouse for her, and only wrapped her in a quilt and held her in his arms.
Jin Niang slowed down for a while before she came back, at this time she was surprisingly calm, he grabbed the clothes on Xu Erlang's shoulder, and said very seriously, "Erlang, let her die!" There are only thieves for a thousand days, and there are no thieves for a thousand days. I don't want to be terrified of her for the rest of my life. I couldn't bear the fate of Pian Pian and the little fish falling into her hands. Therefore, no matter how the yamen judges, you can't let her live! She can't be spared any longer! ”
"Okay, okay, I know it all!" Xu Erlang continued to pat her on the back and said, "Without my intervention, she won't be able to survive this time." If they don't convince them that escaping during the torture is a mortal crime, they said that they also kidnapped a county lord of the imperial court this time......"
Can the county lord abduct him? Are all the people who serve around the county lord eat dry food?
Jin Niang's attention was diverted again, and Xu Erlang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you intend to murder a member of the royal family, you will be punished by the Nine Clans." This case has been thoroughly interrogated, and the verdict will be pronounced by the yamen two days after tomorrow at the latest, and if you don't believe it, then send someone to the yamen to read the notice. ”
