Chapter 274: Departure
Vice General Bai made a special trip to report the news, and Hong was grateful. Please come with me to the back hall to meet the old lady. ”
Things are like this, how can there be a reason to reject people thousands of miles away.
Thinking that he was not there yesterday and his daughter was embarrassed, Hong glared at Xi Junlan unconsciously.
Xi Junlan hung her head and her small mouth was deflated.
Bai Ying saw her being trained, and her mood was a lot more relaxed.
The group went to Lanping Courtyard, where several wives and an aunt of the Xi family were there.
Xi Huaishou's wife has passed away, and there will only be one aunt in the courtyard in the future, so Hong, as a daughter-in-law, is in charge of the house.
The juniors were all kicked out, and Xi Junlan was also left outside.
Bai Ying entered, first saluted the old lady who bowed to the head, and then took out the letter and handed it to the Hong family to pass it on.
The old lady's eyes were no longer very good, and it took a lot of effort to read those few words.
"Vice Admiral Bai is working hard, I understand what King Liang means. My son Huaishou also wrote a letter before, in which he also mentioned the good king's care for us. I don't understand the affairs of the court, a woman in the back house, but as long as the surname Wei is one day this day, my Xi family will be dutiful and loyal, as for what other people think, there are descendants to judge. ”
After the old lady finished speaking, Hong handed over the throat tea, and she couldn't help coughing it out.
Bai Ying was not a talkative person, but at this time he couldn't help but say, "The Xi family's loyalty is admirable, my prince doesn't want General Xi to be embarrassed, and he doesn't want to see someone in the Xi family sacrifice because of the court dispute, and he also asked the old lady and everyone to temporarily live in Liangzhou to keep their security and stability." ”
Pinghuai is remote, if something happens to the Xi family here, even if Wei Li wants to help, he can't help.
Since the change of the sky in Beijing, the Xi family has begun to panic, after all, in the land of Liangzhou, although King Liang did not clearly stand in line, it is obviously not from Queen Wan's side.
Now King Liang not only did not mean to take them, but also made a special trip to take them to Liangzhou to temporarily live in Liangzhou to avoid disasters, which is already a great kindness.
The ladies and wives below were obviously moved, their lives may not matter, but there are children and grandchildren.
"Vice Admiral White." The old lady spoke again, "The Xi family is grateful for the grace of the good king, but this is the foundation of my Xi family, and I, a person who has almost lost the loess, doesn't make much sense to go over, just let the juniors pass." ”
The old lady was reluctant to leave, as she just said, this is the foundation of the Xi family, the resting place of the ancestors, and this family business needs someone to protect it no matter what.
"Mrs., I want to stay too."
"I'll stay too, just let Junju and them go."
None of the ladies and wives present were willing to leave, so they had to stay here with the lady, and if there was any misfortune in the back, they would not leave any burden on the men in front of them if they hit the wall in one breath.
The letter has also been handed in, everything that should be said has been said, and whether to go or not depends on the wishes of the Xi family.
Bai Ying listened silently, and then said that she would leave the next day and pick up people at the gate of Xi's mansion.
Hong thanked again and again, personally sent people outside the hall, and asked her daughter under the corridor to give Bai Ying a ride on her behalf.
Xi Junlan was slightly blessed and took a little maid to lead Bai Ying out.
The two of them walked to the second gate one after the other, and Xi Junlan broke the little maid away, and asked Bai Ying a little flatteringly, "Vice General Bai, what did you talk about just now?" ”
The woman leaned over slightly and approached him, Bai Ying smelled a faint fragrance, immediately took a half step back to open the distance, tilted her head and said, "Fourth girl, don't worry, you'll know later." ”
This fourth young lady is too undignified, so she just leaves the maid and approaches the foreign man casually.
didn't tell her, Xi Junlan pursed her mouth, sped up her pace and just wanted to send this person out quickly.
After that, the two of them didn't say anything, and when Bai Ying went to the door of the mansion, they were about to say thank you politely, but they saw the four young ladies leave without looking back.
This man is not only not dignified enough, but also does not know how to be polite.
Back at the yamen, Bai Ying and Mr. Shui mentioned the situation, and in his opinion, the ladies and wives of the Xi family would stay here and only send the juniors out.
Mr. Shui sighed and didn't say anything, just let Bai Ying be respectful, after all, he also knew that the prince didn't want to face General Xi on the battlefield.
The next day, Bai Ying led the team to the gate of Xifu early to pick up people.
Don't blame him for being in a hurry, he's too busy, and he doesn't have much time to spend here.
Mr. Shui has finished his errands and came with him.
Everyone waited outside the door for a while, the door of the Xi family's mansion was wide open, and the old lady was supported by two daughters-in-law and led a group of juniors out.
The old lady came to see her off, and after discussion, the Xi family went to Liangzhou with the granddaughter-in-law with the little baby, and the Xu family in the second room.
When Mr. Shui saw the old lady come out, he dismounted and went over to pay a visit.
The Xi family also prepared nearly twenty carriages this time, and in addition to the young ladies and young masters, they also prepared a lot of things.
Everyone wiped their tears before leaving, Bai Ying saw that Xi Junlan's eyes were red, thinking that two days ago she was still embarrassed by herself, but now it seems that a woman is still a woman, no matter how high the momentum is, it is also superficial.
When the convoy set off, it was already three poles in the morning, and there were still five or six days to go from Pinghuai to Liangzhou, and with children in mind, it was the afternoon of the seventh day when they arrived.
Bai Ying asked people to go back to the palace in advance to report the news, Ayu had already taken care of the backyard, all the food and clothing had been prepared, and she also asked the kitchen to prepare a mat to catch the wind and wash the dust for the Xi family.
She heard King Liang say that the Xi family was deeply rooted in the army, and she also knew that the man wanted to win over the Xi family, so she tried to be respectful in the reception, but she didn't kiss herself to the door to greet her.
After all, her identity is placed here, indicating that there must be a degree of closeness, if she throws away the etiquette of dignity and inferiority, it will only make others look down on her.
Ayu arranged for Xiao Dongzi to receive him at the gate of the house.
After a few bumpy days on the road, the Xi family and his party were tired, but when they got off the car, Xu cheered up and asked Xiao Dongzi where King Liang was, and wanted to meet him first.
"Mrs. Xu is polite, it's really unfortunate that His Royal Highness has not returned from the camp outside the city. Let's go to the backyard to repair and rest a little, and the side concubine has been waiting for a long time. ”
Xiao Dongzi bowed back and led everyone in.
Bai Ying also dismounted and followed, he wanted to see his sister's two children.
The group of people went to the Tingfeng Courtyard, and when they met slaves on the way, Gu would stop and salute them silently.
Compared with those official families, the rules in this palace are much stricter.
Ayu was already waiting in the hall with a pair of children and daughters, and when she saw someone coming, she stood up holding Banzhi's hand.
