Chapter 56: The Quarrel (I)
Huan Ling was called to the teahouse by Kong Xiuzhi early in the morning, and it was not until noon that he came out of the private room, and Kong Xiuzhi sent him downstairs, during which the two were still talking and laughing. When he walked to the door, Huan Ling turned around and said to Kong Xiuzhi: "Kong Zuocheng doesn't have to go far, stay and stay." ”
Kong Xiuzhi bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Then Kong will not send it, and the county marquis will go slowly." ”
Huan Ling bowed his head, and then walked straight out of the door of the tea house, before he walked outside, he came to face a beautiful young woman dressed in brocade clothes, with a variety of pearls and jade on his head, but gorgeous but not extravagant, the young woman had an elegant posture, solemn manners, and looked calm and generous, Huan Ling recognized her as Xiao Huijin, the princess of Huainan, and Xiao Huijin seemed to have recognized him as Hou Huan Ling of Yongxiu County, and neither of them stopped to greet each other, but they each nodded and passed by.
When Huan Ling walked away, Xiao Huijin stopped, looked back at his back, and said to his granddaughter Shi who was waiting on the side: "I heard that Huan Boyu has the appearance of Pan Anwei, and the palace used to think that these were all rumors and boasts, but the last time I saw him at the birthday banquet, I realized that these rumors were true. ”
Granddaughter Shi thought for a while and said: "The slave maid heard that when the Marquis of Yongxiu County goes out, wherever he goes, he will be surrounded by water, so whenever he travels, he can only take a car. ”
"So, that's a nuisance?" Xiao Huijin couldn't help laughing, and her granddaughter Shi smiled and said nothing.
The ox cart of the Hou Mansion stopped under the Jiming Bridge on the side of the teahouse, Yin Luo was sitting on the ox cart seat and waiting, he looked at the door of the teahouse from time to time, and when he saw Huan Ling coming out, he immediately jumped off the seat and strode towards Huan Ling, and said: "County Hou, the gatehouse on the Fang Cai Mansion came to pass the word, saying that not long after you left, the princess went to the house to make trouble, and did everything possible to lead the lady to come forward." ”
"What?" Huan Ling was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Then did she see Xie Yu?" ”
He knew that he shouldn't mention the word "Xie Yu", but he was in a hurry, and he didn't worry too much, for fear of being heard by others.
Yin Luo replied: "I saw it." ”
He frowned, pondered and asked, "Nothing happened to Deyin, right?" ”
Yin Luo sneered, "Naturally, nothing happened to Mrs. Xie, but it was the crown princess, I heard that she was carried back to the prince's mansion." ”
Huan Ling was faintly worried, and hurriedly returned to the Hou Mansion, at that time Xie Zheng was still sitting in the guest hall drinking tea, leisurely, quite comfortable, not afraid at all.
When she saw Huan Ling coming back, she said indifferently: "The county marquis has heard about the princess?" ”
Huan Ling sent away a few unrelated slaves in the hall, and then asked reassuringly: "What the hell is going on?" Did she recognize you as Xie Yu? ”
Xie Zheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, only replying: "I don't know." ”
Huan Ling knew that she was displeased, and she must not have said a word about today's events, so she simply didn't ask her anymore, but turned to Yuzhi, "Yuzhi, you say, why did the crown princess faint?" ”
Yuzhi was a little embarrassed, looked at Xie Zheng sideways, and called in a low voice: "Lady......"
Huan Ling was not very impatient, and in a hurry, he didn't choose what to say, so he blamed Yuzhi, but he didn't want to even slander Xie Zheng, he said: "You are a guest girl of the Hou Mansion, your master's surname is Huan, not Xie!" ”
Xie Zheng listened to what he said, it turned out that in his eyes, she was just an outsider!
She was extremely angry, and immediately took the case, and said angrily: "I deliberately made her think that I was Xie Yu, she was stunned by me, what the county marquis wants to know, what she doesn't want to know, I have already explained it truthfully, why bother Yuzhi!" ”
She said that, she immediately brushed her sleeves away, and when she walked outside the guest hall, she looked back at Huan Ling, and said expressionlessly: "I know, under the fence, I have to bow my head, since your mansion can't tolerate me, and the county marquis has opened his mouth again, then I will never stay here and leave!" ”
When the words fell, Xie Zheng really left without looking back, and Huan Ling turned his head away, not wanting to look at it more.
"Lady......" Yuzhi called lightly, and he took two steps forward to chase after him, but after consideration, he still did not step out of the guest hall.
Seeing that Xie Zheng had stepped out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, Yuzhi wanted to remind Huan Ling, but he was afraid that he would blame him again, so he never spoke again.
At this time, Zeng Qionglin said: "County Marquis, she is really gone." ”
When Huan Ling heard this, he immediately turned his head to look out of the door, and really couldn't see Xie Zheng's figure, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly ran to the door, wanting to chase Xie Zheng back, but he didn't want to, and when he arrived at the door, she was gone.
At this time, Zeng Qionglin and Yuzhi had also followed to the door, Zeng Qionglin glanced around, and said in surprise: "Xie Niangzi is seriously injured, she shouldn't have been able to go far, but why is it missing for a while?" ”
As soon as Huan Ling said it, he remembered that Xie Zheng was still injured, and for a while guilt and worry were intertwined, and he blamed himself: "They all blame me, and they don't listen to what they say!" ”
Yuzhi stood behind him, he looked back and saw her, complained about her again, and said: "You maid is too incompetent, she wants to leave, why don't you follow." ”
"Slave, go find it!" Yuzhi hurriedly ran east, and Huan Ling instructed Zeng Qionglin again: "All the parts of the order mansion will immediately find the whereabouts of Deyin!" ”
In the evening, Xiao Zhen returned to the prince's mansion after handling business in Shangshu Province, and as soon as he heard that Pei Huizhao had fainted, he hurried to her house to visit. I saw Pei Huizhao lying on the bed, his face was pale and bloodless, the two children were standing in front of the bed, Qiu was standing by the bed, Xiao Xun glanced at Pei Huizhao, and asked Qiu: "What's the matter?" ”
Qiu pretended to be frightened, and said timidly: "Niangniang went to the Hou Mansion of Yongxiu County and saw Xie... Xie Niangzi. ”
Xiao Zheng was stunned, he never expected that Pei Huizhao would go to the Hou Mansion to find Xie Zheng, and now he sees that Xie Zheng is daughter, if Xie Zheng is just an ordinary appearance, it is not a big matter, but she looks like Xie Yu, which is troublesome.
Seeing that Xiao Zhen was stunned, Qiu continued: "Niangniang pointed to Xie Niangzi and said that she was... Xie Yu. Seeing that the two children were still there, she deliberately lowered her voice when she said her cousin's name.
"Got it, you go down and take the two children down for dinner," Xiao Zhen said with a sad face.
Qiu left with the two children, and Xiao Zhen walked to the window, standing with his hands in his hands, frowning.
At this moment, Pei Huizhao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up, but his eyes were wide open, and he was terrified, as if he had been awakened.
Xie Zheng's words echoed in her ears, and she was so shocked that she sweated like rain and wet the bedding.
Because of the words Xie Zheng said, Xie Yu also said to her many years ago...... At that time, they were inseparable, as close as siblings, she missed Xiao Chen, the prince of Qi, but Xiao Zhen was in love with her good sister Xie Yu, when Emperor Song wanted to marry her, he asked her if she was interested in someone, she did not hesitate to say Xiao Chen, and Emperor Song immediately promised that she would give marriage.
She was both surprised and guilty, lest Xie Yu turn her face because of this, but she happened to meet her on the way out of the palace, she told Xie Yu that Emperor Song pointed out marriage for her, but the other party already had a heart, Xie Yu said a few words of comfort at the time, exactly: "Sister fairy jade, beautiful and beautiful than flowers, at first glance it looks like a lotus fairy in the sky, bright and dignified, is a real beauty, what man in the world is not beautiful?" It's like those vulgar fans, with a mediocre appearance, naturally they can't compare to their sisters. ”
