Chapter 39: Waiting with Worry
A trace of fierceness flashed in Murong Yu's eyes, Xia Shangshu hesitated for a moment, and then bowed with both hands and said: "The three princes are very strategic, this time they will definitely be able to solve it smoothly, and when the three princes come back, the old minister will definitely give the three princes an explanation." ”
Murong Yu was satisfied, nodded and said: "This is very good, Xia Shangshu can know it in his heart, this prince will go first, I hope that Lord Shangshu will arrange everything, and please think more about the matter of the eldest lady." ”
"The third prince can rest assured."
Xia Shangshu's face was full of flattery, Murong Yu nodded and turned to leave, Xia Shangshu kept sending people to the door.
When he couldn't see the figure, he turned around and faced Xia Yingxue's eyes.
"Daddy!"
Xia Yingxue stepped forward and grabbed his arm, pouted and complained: "Dad, I heard from the people on the street that Xia Sihan got married without the consent of his parents, and now he has to bring that hillbilly to you to say goodbye, it's really embarrassing!" ”
"Don't say that, she's your sister too."
Xia Shangshu frowned and said unhappily, Xia Yingxue snorted coldly: "Daddy! Because she and I went out were laughed at, she is your daughter, I am also your daughter, I have not yet married, if this is a marriage in the future, who will dare to enter our door? ”
Xia Shangshu's face became darker and darker, what her daughter said was right, Xia Sihan alone made their Xia family embarrassed, and now that they have arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, if they are really let into Beijing, how will they be able to raise their heads in the capital in the future?
There are still two girls who have not yet come out of the pavilion to welcome snow and spring at home, Xia Sihan is really uneasy!
Seeing her father's face darkened, Xia Yingxue knew that her words had an effect.
Originally, Xia Sihan was allowed to marry the third prince, but now that he was disrupted by that little slut, he was going to marry him, although Xia Yingxue was happy with Murong Yu, he didn't dare to take the risk.
Now that he throws the problem to his father, he will be able to give himself a satisfactory explanation.
In this way, Xia Yingxue obediently curtched and bowed, leaving Xia Shangshu alone in the front hall to think.
A little country girl, she actually has such courage, if it weren't for her mother's death a long time ago, Xia Shangshu really suspected that someone was instigating behind her back, maybe he couldn't have imagined that it was really Xia Sihan, a country girl, who had her own idea.
At this time, Xia Sihan and his party were waiting for the people to be picked up at a post station on the outskirts of Beijing.
Although it was arriving, the one in the capital spoke and did not enter the city for the time being.
Xia Sihan knew that it was Lord Shangshu's idea when he heard it, and he was afraid that he would not dare to let her enter the city.
Along the way, Xia Sihan ensured that the news that they were about to enter Beijing to see their relatives spread, presumably it had already spread throughout the capital now, and then they were waiting for the meeting.
As for whether it is in the city or here, it depends on the meaning of Lord Shangshu.
Now Xia Sihan lives in the post station, and after more than a month of traveling, her bones are about to fall apart.
Even if there is a stream to replenish her strength, she can't stand it, but her mother-in-law is rarely in good spirits, seeing her like this, she is bedridden, and three meals a day are delivered to the bedside.
Xia Sihan couldn't lie down anymore after lying down for a day, how could there be a reason to sleep and let the old man serve him?
Fortunately, her body has always been strong, and it is almost enough after a day of rest.
It's just that the post station is not a restaurant in the city after all, just a place to rest and rest, but when it comes to food, it is far inferior to the city.
Not even Lijia Village can compare.
After Xia Sihan was ready, he began to prepare to eat, and the pickled goods brought from Lijia Village had already smelled after bumps along the way, and the weather was gradually getting hotter.
Xia Sihan thought about it, and deliberately asked Li Jinyan to go to the mountain behind the post station to catch pheasants and rabbits, make roast rabbit meat and stewed chicken soup, and beckoned those officials to come over and eat together.
After being full of wine and food, Xia Sihan tried to ask: "Official, you see that we have been here for three days, if my father is angry and doesn't want to see him, I will do it, and I will bother the official to help us send these to Shangshu Mansion, so that I can be considered filial piety." ”
Xia Sihan's eyes showed a touch of sadness when he said this, the officer and soldier were also from a poor family, but now when he saw her like this, he knew her difficulties, so he agreed.
"Don't panic, wait for me to go into the city to inquire about the situation, maybe Lord Shangshu is busy with official business and can't be busy for a while! If you're really annoyed and don't want to see you, I'll help you send this thing in. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Xia Sihan bowed to him, and the man quickly shook his hand.
During these days, they got along day and night, and this officer and soldier knew more or less about their family's affairs, so they were also sympathetic to Xia Sihan.
Seeing that the official had gone out, Xia Sihan dragged Li Jinyan back to the house, and the husband and wife talked about themselves.
Xia Sihan didn't expect to come to the capital so soon, but now that they have arrived, even if Lord Shangshu doesn't see them, they can't go back for the time being.
"Brother Jin, take advantage of this time, let's ask around to see where the military camp is nearby, I think it's unlikely that we will go back now when we arrive, so it's better to settle down here."
Li Jinyan frowned, he knew what Xia Sihan meant, and he also knew that she was for his own good, but their eyes were black when they first arrived, if they really joined the army, how would they survive in Beijing?
"No, Sihan, if I'm not here, how can you and your mother survive? Besides, our few thousand silver is not enough to gain a foothold in the capital. ”
Li Jinyan was right, Xia Sihan also knew that his whole body was only three thousand taels together, if he rented a house......
The price of goods in the capital is high, and the monthly rent of a two-room courtyard is more than a dozen taels, so it seems that three thousand taels can be maintained for a while.
Xia Sihan nodded, but still insisted.
"Brother Jin, no matter what, I want to gain a firm foothold in Beijing, you join the army, I do business, there are many opportunities, don't worry about not being able to survive, you believe me, if I start making that wedding dress now, you give me ten days, if it can be sold, we will stay, how about it?"
Xia Sihan didn't know the bottom of his heart when he said this, although there were really no beautiful clothes here in his previous life.
But now that he is living again, everything will change, and it is Xia Sihan who is just trying his best.
Hearing this, Li Jinyan could only nod in agreement.
However, no matter how well the two discussed, it was only in vain, if Lord Shangshu wanted to see them, then it would be necessary to think about it in the long run.
Xia Sihan was also guessing that in order not to make himself his laughing stock, Lord Shangshu would definitely let them go back quickly.
If she remembered correctly, Murong Yu had already married at this time in her previous life.
Now that I am married first, why haven't I heard the news of the marriage of the third prince, is it true that everything has changed because of his rebirth?
