Chapter 20: On the Way to Move; Straight Yi Ruofu
Winter in the south came late and went early, when the Yi family packed up the cage drawers and saluted, the winter had passed, and in a blink of an eye, a hundred flowers bloomed, and the century-old county also changed into spring clothes.
Yi Kangwen sent a candidate and a candidate, and the Mo family also went to the Centennial Temple to worship and worship, and finally set a good and auspicious day for travel.
Yi Xiangxiang is a modern soul, but she also understands the actions of her grandfather and grandmother, not to mention them, that is, in the past, when Yi Xiangxiang wanted to go out in modern times, her grandmother had to ask the Buddha for hexagrams in front of the enshrined Buddha statue. Although Yi Xiangxiang doesn't believe in this set, it doesn't stop Yi Kangwen and his wife's actions, people sometimes have a belief, at least they can ask for peace of mind.
The matter of moving is indeed troublesome, but it is only for the subordinates, Yi Xiangxiang only needs to be paralyzed and commanded. Yongle Curie, Leqi had already summarized the cage in advance, and now it only needs to be done the final arrangement.
"Miss, do you want to take this unicorn ornament with you?" Qing Xuan brought the things over and handed them to Le Qi to pack, obviously guessing what his young lady would say.
Sure enough, Yi Xiangxiang glanced at it and said, "Of course you have to take it away, this is white silver!" In addition to the things in the original mansion, there are also furniture that can't be moved, and the rest that can be taken away must be taken away. β
Yi Xiangxiang is standing and talking without a backache, this Yongle was an empty house when he came in, and now the extra ornaments have to be packed into several large boxes.
In fact, at first, Yi Xiangxiang didn't think there were many things to clean up, wasn't it just gold and silver jewelry and clothes! It wasn't until she saw that Le Qi began to collect jade calligraphy and paintings, as well as incense burner ornaments, that she realized that she was too naΓ―ve.
As for the servants, most of the Yi family are born to the family, and the rest of the people who were bought later are also willing to go to Tongzhou with them, and the Lin family released some maids and servants who still have relatives in Bainian County, and the rest are ready to be taken away, and Tongzhou is not enough manpower. Yi Xiangxiang's Yongle Residence, except for a second-class maid who wants to stay in Centennial County, almost all want to follow the young lady, and Yi Xiangxiang also agreed, because there is not much personnel change on her side.
Xile Building and Yipinxiang are operating normally, Hongxi shopkeeper let his apprentice take over the shop of Yipinxiang in Centennial County, and then the income is the same as that of Xile Building every month, all of which are deposited into the account of Baofeng Qianzhuang Yi Xiangxiang, and then every quarter the shopkeeper can go to Tongzhou with the account book to pay the account. Yi Xiangxiang thinks that this Baofeng Money Village is really convenient, similar to modern banks, only if you open an account and pay a head fee, you can realize remote deposit and withdrawal. Of course, this is not just a matter of saying that you can take it, but you have to bring a private seal and a unique real-name seal issued by Baofeng to withdraw cash, which is similar to the meaning of ID card and bank card.
Many of the children of the official eunuchs of the Li Dynasty have accounts in Baofeng Qianzhuang, so Yi Xiangxiang is not very outstanding. Besides, Yi Xiangxiang herself has not gone to Baofeng to withdraw money, and Leqi went with the guards, so Baofeng's shopkeeper even thought that Leqi was Yi Xiangxiang.
The shopkeeper of the Joy Building is still served by Laifu, who is very grateful for Yi Xiangxiang's trust and expresses his willingness to stay in Centennial County to take care of the Joy Building. Yi Xiangxiang also took Liu Fangfei to talk to Laifu, and said to Laifu that if Miss Fangfei needed help, she must try her best to help. After arranging the follow-up matters, Yi Xiangxiang waited for the day of departure.
Oh, in between, there was another incident in the second room. After Yi Tangquan came to Centennial County, he still sneaked in and out of the land of fireworks, and the Yi family had nothing to do about it, so they could only turn a blind eye. The news of Yi Daren's promotion is naturally known to everyone in the county, so one of Yi Tangquan's confidants knew that he was leaving, so he said that he would follow. Yi Tangquan didn't dare to take her with him for fear of being picked up by his uncle Yi Kangwen, so he pretended to agree and began to hide behind closed doors in Yi's mansion. The confidante is named Su Li, and she is also a smart person, she noticed that Yi Tangquan was avoiding her, so she went to Yi Mansion and said that she was pregnant with Yi Tangquan's child. At first, even Yi Xiangxiang thought that this was Su Li's excuse, but she didn't expect to call the doctor for a pulse, and she was really pregnant; This made Yi Kangwen angry, and gave Yi Tangquan two sticks, so he let Mo take over Su Li as an elder.
Mo Shi can't either, his son's promotion is imminent, if Su Li is let shout outside at this time, I am afraid it will affect Yi Xixi's official reputation. So even though the Huang family has a black face, the Mo family has to leave people behind Yi Tangquan. Originally, Mo felt that since Su Li was pregnant, it was not suitable to travel and travel, and wanted to arrange for a maid to serve her in Bainian County before going to Tongzhou after giving birth. But Su Li was unwilling, she was worried that the Yi family would leave her alone, so she would have to die or live to follow her on the road. The Mo family was really angry, anyway, the person was provoked by Yi Tangquan, so he left the person to the Huang family in a fit of anger.
Poor Huang, his angry teeth are almost gone.
So in the list of Yi family personnel who went to Tongzhou, Su Li was added to the second room, and now she is also called Aunt Su's Su.
The Lin family was also angry at Yi Tangquan's actions, but she was even more childless than the Mo family, and because the Su family was pregnant, she had to send a carriage to the Su family. Yi Xiangxiang watched those padded pillows being sent into the Su family's carriage, and felt that her mother was too kind.
In fact, Lin's kindness is not for the Su family, in her opinion, it is most suitable to stay in the century-old county to give birth and raise, but she has to follow the road and run together, as a mother, the Lin family very much disagrees with Su's approach. But the mistakes of adults should not be borne by children, it is the Lin family that prepares everything, and only hopes that the child in Su's belly can be safe and healthy.
On the day of the departure of the Yi family, the weather was very sunny, and the group got into the carriage in the farewell of many friends and villagers in Centennial County. Before leaving, Yi Xihu gave thousands of instructions to his son and daughter, so that they would be obedient on the road. Yi Luochuan is naturally a sensible promise, Yi Xiangxiang is a sensible promise on the surface.
As soon as the carriage left the city gate, it entered the official road between the mountains and forests, and Yi Xiangxiang couldn't wait to bolt herself to the window, looking at the mountains and mountains, how fresh the air was, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the birds and flowers were fragrant, it was simply a fairyland on earth.
"I'm really reluctant to leave after staying in Centennial County for so long." Mama Li said.
"I don't think so, it's really stuffy in Centennial County, it's better to come out, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly. Eh, I don't know what those women who desperately want to enter the harem think, the palace is high, how can there be this outside at ease. Yi Xiangxiang said with Erlang's legs crossed and leaned against the window.
Mama Li was about to praise Yi Xiangxiang's sentence "The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly", but she didn't expect that the taboo words would come out in the second half of her sentence, and she was so frightened that she quickly covered Yi Xiangxiang's mouth with a handkerchief.
Yi Xiangxiang really doesn't know what to say, what are you covering your mouth when she finishes speaking, grandma!
"Miss really doesn't know more and more about the height of the sky, and then when she arrives in Tongzhou, she has to be more restrained, how can we talk about this royal matter?" Mama Li said with a straight face.
Yi Xiangxiang turned over and lay on her side and said, "Okay, good, convergence, I know!" β
The carriage walked slowly down the official road, and when it was close to evening, it entered a small town and stopped at the door of an inn. Lin arranged for the housekeeper to go to the inn to book a room, and asked the maid to take down the clothes to be changed and washed, etc., and then walked to her daughter and said, "You will have a carriage with me tomorrow, and I will always feel uneasy if you are not in front of me." β
"Eh, mother, what's wrong with this! I'm obedient, and I'll sleep in the carriage all the way, I don't believe you ask Leqi. Yi Xiangxiang was very helpless about her mother's distrust.
"Really?" Lin asked incredulously.
"It's more real than real gold! Mother, don't worry about me, look over there, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are about to get off the carriage, as a daughter-in-law, why don't you hurry up and wait? Yi Xiangxiang pointed to the carriage not far away and said.
Lin Shi looked at the carriage in the distance, and then looked at the daughter in front of him, and was about to speak, when his son Yi Luochuan appeared behind her: "Mother, don't worry, sister, I will take a good look at it." β
Now the Lin family is really relieved, her son is stable and sensible, and he can suppress his sister, so she is relieved to serve her in-laws. And Yi Xiangxiang, who really had a small plan and wanted to sneak away to play, was slipped up to the second floor by his brother Yi Luochuan, watched the servants of the courtyard unload the carriage containing the salute and take care of it, and then led the horse to the stable to graze alone. Yi Xiangxiang looked at this tedious process, and really missed modern means of transportation.
After all, the Yi family is moving as a family, so if they travel together, the masters, slaves, and luggage will need at least twenty carriages or more. In order not to attract so much attention, Yi Kangwen sent the old housekeeper to take some of his subordinates and salute to set off first; Despite this, there are still a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked in the inn.
Naturally, there are not so many carriages that can be used at the same time, so most of the carriages are rented in the carriage rental shops in Bainian County, and each carriage is also equipped with a small servant who drives the horse, so that someone can drive the carriage back after completing the lease with the employer. Yi Xiangxiang's carriage was still picked by herself, and it was wide inside, enough to accommodate five people lying horizontally, so Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to go to her mother's car at all.
Of course, it's not that Lin's carriage is not comfortable enough, but Yi Xiangxiang doesn't want to go there to listen to her mother's nagging; It's better to stay in your own zone, only by staying in your own territory can you make your own decisions, Yi Xiangxiang is in this cognition, but he is a ghost.
Everyone was still a little unaccustomed to the first day on the road, so they all went back to the room after dinner. The room in the town inn was no longer enough, and Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to be crowded in the same room with the sisters in the second room, so she climbed into her mother's bed. Lying on the spacious bed at this time, Yi Xiangxiang thanked her father for not accompanying her for the first time.
Yi Xiangxiang lay on the bed by herself, disgusted for a while that the bed in the inn was not soft enough, and said that the food was not delicious for a while, and she wanted to open the Xile Building all over the court, but she was a little worried that the tree was a big move, so she was always considering and weighing. She was in a daze thinking about things, and she wanted to wait for her mother to come back and fall asleep together, but the spring night was still a little cold, and she lay in the warm quilt and fell asleep unconsciously. When Lin settled everything and returned to the upper room of the inn, he saw that his daughter had already snored; She washed up briefly, and then fell asleep with her daughter in her arms.
On the first day of leaving Centennial County, Yi Xiangxiang was immersed in the scenery all the way and was very comfortable. But the next two days were very sad for Yi Xiangxiang. Because several sisters in the second room began to take turns to visit her carriage, they didn't even give her a chance to refuse.
The first is the most difficult big sister Yi Ruonan.
"Eighth sister, this carriage is very comfortable, and this brocade cushion is softer than my mother's." Yi Ruonan rushed Yi Xiangxiang to the unfilial piety with a word, and the carriage was more comfortable than the elders, so it doesn't mean that she is not filial to the elders!
Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to deal with Yi Ruonan, and said with a smile innocently: "Then the eldest sister asked the second aunt to come to my carriage, and I will leave a seat for her." β
Yi Ruonan was speechless when she said this, how could she really pass the word to the Huang family, even if it was passed on, the Huang family was not good at really coming to her niece's place to rub the position, that was not a joke! Yi Xiangxiang is funny in her heart, I dare to invite, are you embarrassed to accept? Really.
Yi Ruonan's face was stunned, she wasn't sure if the eighth sister was innocent and cute, or if she said it on purpose; So she didn't stop on this topic and immediately turned around.
"This is the eighth sister's new big girl? Well, it looks better than the Miaoqin, but I don't know if this piano is outstanding? Yi Ruonan looked at Qing Xuan and said.
Le Qi and Qing Xuan, as big girls, have taken turns to serve Yi Xiangxiang in the past two days, and Mama Li will occasionally come over to talk to Yi Xiangxiang, but only Qing Xuan and Shumei are staying in Yi Xiangxiang's carriage today.
"Back to the eldest lady, Qing Xuan can't play the piano, but Qing Xuan once cut rabbits with piano wire; Eh yo is terrible to think about now, the attack was so heavy that it almost pulled the rabbit's head off. But speaking of which, the soup is quite delicious, and the taste of the mountain rabbit is also very sweet. Qing Xuan pretended to be an aftertaste.
In fact, Qing Xuan didn't lie, when she was still Cui Xiaodie, she once caught a rabbit and killed her stomach on the way to escape from the wilderness; At that time, Cui's father was already seriously ill, and she searched for a long time but didn't find a knife, so she picked up a broken piano on the side of the road, tore off the silk thread, pulled the rabbit and stripped it by the stream, and boiled the rabbit meat with fire water in a pot.
Although Yi Ruonan said that she was not a daughter because of her identity, she was also a pampered person; Yi Xiangxiang watched her face change a few times, guessing that Yi Ruonan should have made up the picture of Qingxuan killing rabbits, and after a while, she heard Yi Ruonan shouting to stop, and then watched her rush back to the carriage shared by herself and Yi Ruofu.
When Yi Ruonan left, the carriage started moving again, and the three of Yi Xiangxiang's master and servant laughed loudly.
However, Yi Xiangxiang's carriage was not cleaned up because of Yi Ruonan's defeat, because the next day, Yi Ruofu appeared in Yi Xiangxiang's carriage.
Yi Ruofu's first sentence after getting on the carriage was also about the carriage, and she only heard her say: "Eighth sister, your carriage is so comfortable, I don't want to go back." After speaking, he didn't wait for Yi Xiangxiang to refuse, so he lay down next to her, and made Yi Xiangxiang scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
"I like to sleep alone!" Yi Xiangxiang crossed her hands on her waist and bluntly rejected Yi Ruofu.
"I don't like to sleep alone, it's easy to have nightmares when I sleep alone, and it just so happens that my eighth sister can accompany me." Yi Ruofu looked like I was really thinking too much.
"Then you go and let your sister accompany you, let her play the piano and write poems for you, and you won't be afraid." Yi Xiangxiang said with wide eyes.
Yi Ruofu pouted and said, "She won't play the piano and write poems for me, she has to keep those things to show off in front of my mother." β
"Then you can't sleep with me, don't you like me!" Yi Xiangxiang felt that Yi Ruofu might have forgotten their previous unpleasantness, after all, they were children, and it was normal for them to have a bad memory, so she hurriedly reminded Yi Ruofu, hoping that she would leave as soon as she remembered it.
Unexpectedly, Yi Ruofu actually nodded and said, "I didn't like you before, but don't worry, I'll start liking you from today, don't be sad." β
Yi Xiangxiang: "........"
Yi Xiangxiang felt that Yi Ruofu was not stupid at all at the moment, and secretly wondered if she was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before, right?
You can't blame Yi Xiangxiang for having this doubt, after all, she has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. But what happened that afternoon immediately made Yi Xiangxiang change her mind, because Yi Ruofu's performance was still as stupid as ever.
In the afternoon, the two sisters, Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan, also came to visit Yi Xiangxiang's carriage, and the first thing they said when they came in was: "Eighth sister, this carriage is really comfortable." β
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here, so get me away. Yi Ruofu saw her two little sisters who were tired of her, and immediately spoke.
"What is the fifth sister angry about? This is the carriage of the eighth sister, and it is not your carriage! "Yi Ruojiao is getting bolder now, she used to be clever in front of Yi Ruofu, but now she dares to go straight to the bar.
Yi Ruofu was instantly furious when she heard Yi Ruojiao's words: "You actually dare to talk to me like this, do you want to rebel?" As he spoke, he started to beat Yi Ruojiao.
Where could Yi Ruojiao let her succeed, she twisted away, but let Yi Ruofu hit the carriage body hard, and her forehead instantly turned red.
Yi Ruofu was so angry that she rushed over and punched and kicked Yi Ruojiao, and even Yi Ruofan passively joined the "brawl", and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
The final result was that the more open-minded Yi Ruofu won with one enemy and two enemies, but the movement also alarmed other carriages, even the old lady Yi Kangwen. Yi Kangwen punished four girls for standing in Mo's house that night, and Yi Xiangxiang, the owner of the carriage, was not spared. Yi Xiangxiang said that she was really unlucky, and it was completely the dragon king who fought and the fish in the pond suffered; And she was even more speechless to the little girl Yi Ruofu, feeling that this was a test sent to her by God.
The four little girls stood facing the wall, and the two twins were often punished by the Huang family under the pretext of this punishment and that experience, but they were all carried down in a "coma". Yi Xiangxiang thought this was a good way, and was about to do the same, when she heard Yi Ruofu say: "It is worthy of being a cheap life, every time you make a mistake, you pretend to be dizzy, it's shameless!" "In a word, it's not easy to pretend, and it's not okay not to pretend.
This Yi Ruofu, stupid is really stupid, and Geng Zhi is also really upright.
"Eighth sister, are we also in trouble? Don't worry, you will be my person in the future, if those two little ones want to bully you, you can tell me, and I will help you teach them a hard lesson. Yi Ruofu clenched her small fist and said solemnly, she didn't consider that the twins were here to please Yi Xiangxiang, but it was only by inserting a pole that she was punished.
Yi Xiangxiang gave up pretending to be dizzy, and was about to fall asleep when she stood up, when she suddenly heard Yi Ruofu come to such a paragraph, she couldn't cry or laugh. She yawned and said, "No, no, no, they won't embarrass me." Yi Xiangxiang thought to herself, this Yi family is just how dare you get along with me on the surface!
"Eighth sister, you don't know, those two sisters are used to being good people, and they pretend in front of me every time, hmph, if they dare to be so arrogant in front of us next time, I will beat them all over the ground looking for teeth! Don't worry, I'll protect you. Yi Ruofu patted her small chest and reassured.
Hey, my fifth miss, have you forgotten the days when they used them as guns to quarrel with me? Yi Xiangxiang felt that Yi Ruofu might have been a fish in her previous life, and her memory was only seven seconds.
"No, no, don't be taught a lesson." Yi Xiangxiang said very sincerely. She felt that Yi Ruofu's brain was not at the same level as the two twins, so she didn't look for guilt again.
Yi Xiangxiang no longer suspects that Yi Ruofu is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and about the failure of the conversation with her in the morning, isn't there something like this: "Don't reason with a fool, because he will pull you to the same IQ level as him, and then use his years of experience as a fool to defeat you!" β
Of course, this is just a description, Yi Ruofu is not really stupid, Yi Xiangxiang thinks that Yi Ruofu is not bad, it is relatively simple, her joy and anger are shown on her face, and she does things a bit like a stupid big man who is ignorant and rampage, but such a person is also very sincere.
