Chapter 279: Seeing Through the Trick
In five days, it is the time for the top three in the Jiangnan region to enter Beijing, and her two granddaughters will not be able to stay for a few days.
"It's Grandmother." Xie Youran and Xie Qingyu blessed Mrs. Xie together and echoed.
Then a few people chatted again, and after a while, Mama Hu prepared the meal.
"Old lady, the meal is ready, please invite the old lady and the two young ladies to the table."
"Let's go, leisurely, girl." Then Mrs. Xie got up slowly, and walked towards the front hall with the help of Mama Hu.
The table was full of delicacies, and the table was quietly laid out, and the maidservants on either side stood aside, waiting to be sent at any time.
Afterwards, several people sat down, and Xie Youran and Xie Qingyan sat on both sides of Old Madam Xie respectively.
"After the two of you go to the capital together this time, you have to support each other." Mrs. Xie was eating the vegetables and told the two of them.
Xie Youran and Xie Qingyu both sat in place and listened quietly.
"This time, together with your father, I have already written a letter to our Xie family's family in Yanjing, and when the time comes, you two sisters will live directly in our own family, leisurely you are a little older, there are some things I don't need to say, you will understand, and you are rumors, this trip to the capital is not as good as Jiangning, and Gusu, that is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you have anything, you can discuss it with your sister."
"No matter what happens, you are all sons and daughters of the Xie family."
"This time, the future of the Xie family, even if it is entrusted to the two of you, it is rumored that you have now won the position of the leader of Jiangnan, so don't be impatient when you arrive in the capital."
……
Old Madam Xie told the two of them over and over again, but Xie Qingyu had a slight soft-hearted here, but she had already been on the same page with Xie Youran, and she wanted the two of them to reconcile as before, but I was afraid that it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky, but Xie Qingyu felt that Old Madam Xie was like an ordinary old woman at the moment.
An old lady who only hopes that her children can get ahead, but the old lady said these thoughtful words too late, the two of them have long lost patience with the entire Xie Mansion, when Liu Yuehan had an accident, Old Madam Xie didn't say a word, and when it came to Ruan Mingyu, Old Madam Xie still didn't say a word.
In other words, all this open and secret struggle was facilitated by Mrs. Xie!
It's just that now that she and Xie Youran have won the top three in the entire Jiangnan region, they know that they will definitely do something after they arrive in the capital, so they and the Xie family are tightly tied together.
"Can you two remember what I'm talking about?" After Mrs. Xie finished telling everything, she raised her head and asked the two of them.
"Remember Grandmother."
"Remember Grandmother."
Xie Qingyu and Xie Youran replied to Mrs. Xie again, but they didn't agree with each other.
"Alright, eat, eat." At this time, Mrs. Xie laughed and served a mouthful of food to the two of them, and the atmosphere in the banquet became lively again.
It wasn't until late at night that the two of them left the Comet Pavilion.
"I wish my sister a bright future in the capital." Xie Youran had just walked to the door at this moment, and then he spoke to Xie Qingyu, who was about to turn away.
"Light rumors are also here to congratulate my sister." Xie Qingru also turned his head when he heard this, and said to Xie leisurely very politely.
Then the two of them turned around and went in different directions.
The time of five days passed very quickly, and Xie Qingyu had not been in the mansion for a few days, and the time to leave the mansion and enter Beijing had already arrived.
Last night, someone from the government came to inform Xie Tianyang in person of the departure time of tomorrow's official ship.
For a while, Xie Qingyu's heart was also worried, as long as she thought of going to the capital, she was still a little excited, it was rumored that Yanjing was the most prosperous place in the whole Dayan, although she was a traverser, but she already felt that Jiangnan was rich, and she was a little more yearning for the capital.
When it was time to set off, Xie Qingyu got up early in the morning, and after washing up, he pulled Qianqiu and walked straight towards the gate with his luggage.
At this moment, two carriages have already been prepared at the gate of the Xie family, waiting for the two young ladies of the Xie family.
Not long after Xie Qingyu arrived, Xie Youran also rushed over with the accompanying girl.
"The two of you will support each other when you go to the capital in the future, and if you have anything, you will write to your father." Xie Tianyang looked at the scene in front of him, a little excited in his heart, and even a little reluctant, and instructed the two of them again.
"Daddy, I'll take good care of my sister, Daddy don't worry, don't you say it?" Xie Youran looked at Xie Qingyu and laughed at this moment, and even took the initiative to step forward and hold Xie Qingyu's hands, looking very kind.
At this moment, Xie Qingyu didn't feel half a point of kindness, looking at Xie Youran who was full of smiles in front of her, she felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't say what was strange about it, looking at Xie Tianyang's gaze turned around, she could only nod and answer.
"It's the father."
"That's fine, the two of you work together, I'll be relieved, let's get in the car, don't miss the ship." Xie Tianyang finally smiled reassuringly at this moment.
Immediately after that, the two got into two carriages, Xie Youran supported the other carriage with a flowing water, and Xie Qingyu also got into another carriage with Qianqiu, but she always felt that something was strange, but she really couldn't notice it.
The carriage slowly drove towards the dock in Jiangning.
Xie Qingyu sat quietly in the carriage, but he was very uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something would happen.
Qianqiu was opening the curtain at the moment, looking at the scenery outside the carriage with a curious expression, Xie Qingyu had always felt uneasy so she didn't talk to Qianqiu, but she inadvertently looked out of the window, and her heart sank.
It is surrounded by an unfamiliar mountain forest, occasionally with a few houses, very sparsely populated, and Xie Youran's carriage, which was originally on his side, has long been missing.
This was obviously not the way to the docks, she had just returned from the docks a few days ago, how could she not know how to go to the docks.
No wonder, no wonder, Xie Youran would talk like that today, it turned out that what she said today about taking care of good life actually meant like this, it turned out that she wanted her to miss the time of the official ship, this is really a good calculation!
She was negligent for a moment.
Xie Qingyu thought like this, so he opened the small door in front of the carriage and asked the coachman as if unintentionally.
"We're not going to the docks, how can we take this road?"
The coachman suddenly heard Xie Qingyu's voice, and his heart was a little nervous.
"Miss, don't you know, there are many ways to get to the dock, and we are the closest one."
"The most recent?" Xie Qingyu seemed to be convinced, and muttered to himself.
"Yes, miss, you can sit in it in peace, and you will be there in a while." When the coachman saw Xie Qingyu thinking that she believed it, he immediately relieved his heart and said it very calmly.
It's just that Xie Qingyu's eyes turned, and he pulled off the Feng Ling on his waist casually, and strangled the coachman's neck.
In an instant, all the scales and thorns of Feng Ling were displayed, and the cold light appeared, and with a little force, the coachman's head was afraid that it was about to fall to the ground.
"Let me go the way I was, if you still want to die." Xie Qingyu's slightly cold voice fell on the coachman's ears, it was as terrifying as a soul envoy, and he turned the front of the car and drove towards the dock.
Asaaki was still a little stunned when she looked at it from the sidelines, she was a little strange why the young lady would treat this coachman like this.
But at this moment, she completely understood that Miss had been framed.
"Miss, what if we can't catch up with the official ship?" Qianqiu looked at the sky and estimated the time, if he arrived, it would be a little too late.
"Don't worry about it so much for now, let's get to the docks first." Xie Qingyu already knew the time in his heart at this moment, but he still refused to give up in his heart, as long as the carriage was fast enough, they would definitely be able to catch up with the official ship.
"Who instructed you? But my good sister? Xie Qingyu already knew who did it after a little thought, but he was still a little uncertain.
"It's the eldest lady, using the lives of relatives in the family as a threat, and you have to believe in the slave Miss Xiaorumor." The coachman hurriedly told Xie Qingyu the whole story at this moment.
"Then have you ever thought that if I can't catch the official ship back to Xie Mansion this time, I will let you go and ......" Xie Qingyu listened to the coachman's words at this moment, and chuckled, no wonder Xie Youran and Xie Youruo are sisters, and the means of this threat are the same.
When the coachman heard this, he seemed to have finally figured it out, and became annoyed.
The carriage was still running along the country road, but by the time a few people arrived at the docks.
The shadow of the official ship has long disappeared at the mouth of the wharf, and only a quiet river remains.
"Miss, what should we do about this, we will definitely not be able to go to the capital now." When Qianqiu saw this scene, she was very anxious, tears came out of her eyes directly, and she hurriedly asked Xie Qingyu.
The coachman looked remorseful at the moment, and looked at Xie Qingyu and Qianqiu in a daze.
Xie Qingyu looked at the dock, although there were no official ships, there were still countless small boats coming and going to do business, his eyes turned, and he had already thought of an idea.
"Who said that only the official ship can go to Beijing, I don't believe that other ships can't go to the capital, the holy decree says to report to the academy on time, but there is no hard and fast rule on when to go to the capital."
"Miss, do you have an idea?" Qianqiu looked at Xie Qingyu's calm appearance and wiped her tears.
"Okay, you go back, tell my father that I'm already in Beijing." At this time, Xie Qingyu noticed the coachman who was still standing not far away, and ordered.
"Yes, miss, it's all the villain's fault." The coachman hurriedly thanked Enlai, knowing that Xie Qingyu had a way, so he drove away.
"Miss, why did you let him go so easily, this person is really hateful." Qianqiu watched the coachman leave so easily, and said indignantly.
"It's okay, he's just being threatened, anyway, we won't return to Jiangning in the future, so we will do a good deed." Xie Qingyu listened to Qianqiu's words, but shook his head and said slowly.
Immediately afterwards, the two went to the boat house together and asked about the fare to go to the capital.
