Chapter 122: No Return
In the evening, the big ship finally arrived in Jiangnan.
Lin Miao should have sent the letter back early in the morning, and when the big ship docked, there were people from the Lin family in Jiangnan who were waiting there with a carriage.
The old lady of the Lin family heard that Junxi also came to Jiangnan, and sent the old lady who was serving her personally to greet Junxi.
Just as he was probing his head to look at it, he saw a handsome boy who was more shabby than a poor man walking out of the deck, and Mama Hua's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly greeted: "Young master, you can come back!" ”
"Grandmother actually asked you to come in person?" Lin Miao rarely didn't have a hippie smile, and what Mama Hua was thinking about was the county lord of Zhenbei who she had never met, and she didn't pay attention to Lin Miao's emotions, and her face was about to laugh with a flower, "Isn't it, since I received the young master's flying pigeon message, I know that the county lord is coming to Jiangnan, and the old lady tidied up the yard a few days ago, or the pear garden where the eldest lady lived before she left the pavilion, and she looks forward to the county lord every day!" ”
Mama Hua glanced behind Lin Miao, the guards saw a lot, the palace was full of style, but she just didn't see Junxi, she couldn't help asking, "What about the county lord?" It is said that the little lord born by the eldest lady is the first beauty in the capital, and the old slave can look forward to taking a look! ”
Lin Miao's face changed slightly because of these words, and she said, "She...... Seasick, vomiting badly, inconvenient now. ”
Jun Xi was injured and ruined his appearance, and at present, the less people know about it, the better.
"Oh, that young master should have taken the land route, and the county lord has suffered a lot for ten days and half a month by water!" Mama Hua is Mrs. Lin's dowry maid, and she is also an old man in the house, and the people in the house respect her, and the master of the house does not treat her as a person.
Because of this, in the entire Lin family, she is the only one who dares to count Lin Miao like this.
Lin Miao reluctantly smiled and said yes to the driver behind him, "Drive that peacock car over." ”
The coachman behind him immediately drove up to a staggering carriage.
The injury on Junxi's waist has made it a problem for her to get out of bed these days, she walks painfully and not to mention, and her posture is a little weird, at this moment, it is Aunt Mo who is holding Junxi to get off the boat, and the curtain with a veil will block Junxi's face from the airtight.
Jiangnan Lin's family is an imperial businessman, and the pomp and circumstance of every trip is very great, not to mention that there is a special pomp today, and there are many onlookers on the dock.
They are all admiring the generosity of the Lin family in Jiangnan.
Although Jun Xi's eyes can't see, his ears are sensitive, just listening to the voices of those people's discussions, he knows that the Lin family's pomp and circumstance must be so generous that people smack their tongues.
The eyebrows couldn't help but be raised.
When the army is fighting and the treasury of Chu is empty, people who know a little bit about the way will be restrained, why is the Lin family still so extravagant and wasteful?
"Huh? Who was the girl who was carried down the boat? ”
"I heard that it is a guest of the Lin family."
"Looking at this pomp, it is estimated that it is not ordinary, and the Lin family took out the peacock car to greet ......"
Jun Xi, who had already sat in the carriage, heard the discussion outside, and was slightly stunned, the peacock car, she knew, it was still a treasure of the Lin family in Jiangnan, and only the Lin family's housewife could ride in a car, symbolizing the rights of the Lin family's housemother.
Aunt Mo shouldn't know the meaning of this peacock car, so she withdrew after letting go of Junxi, and the eight treasures of the rice balls quickly squeezed in. Lin Miao said that Qixi was injured and was still recuperating, and Jun Xi had been going to see Qixi for a while, and he hadn't taken the time to see Qixi.
"County Lord, this carriage is so beautiful......" Tang Yuan exclaimed as soon as he entered the carriage.
"I just saw a colorful crystal tassel hanging on the eaves outside, I didn't expect it to be more beautiful inside, this mat is a gold gauze beauty satin, there are priceless things in the market, the nobles occasionally get one, but also used to make a fan or something, Lin Jiaye is too rich and generous, and he actually used it as a mat! There is also this small leaf rosewood table, this streamer cup...... "The mouth of the rice balls is almost dripping."
Jun Xi's hands hanging on both sides tightened the hem of her skirt, and she suddenly opened the curtain, she knew that Lin Miao was outside.
Sure enough, Lin Miao saw that she lifted the curtain, and as soon as she got on the horse, she urged the horse over: "What's wrong?" ”
The remnant sun fell on her curtains, faintly glowing.
"Give me a new carriage." Jun Xi said.
Lin Miao laughed, a little cynical: "What's wrong?" This is a piece of my grandmother's heart. This peacock car, the Lin family's housewife can sit it, and the Lin family's concubine can also sit it, you are your aunt's widow, is there nothing wrong with taking this carriage? ”
The corners of his mouth were hooked high, and under the reflection of the remnant sun, there was the opposite sadness in his eyes.
Xu was too worried, Jun Xi nodded and lowered the curtain.
When everyone got into the carriage, the car at the back turned out to be a closed iron cage, and you could feel the cold air in the iron cage from a distance, as if the cage was filled with ice.
The onlookers were curiously poking their necks to look around, and the Lin family was already shouting for money all over the street.
This is a custom in the Chu State, when there are distinguished guests in the family, they all want to scatter copper coins, and invite those who have picked up copper coins to welcome them together.
However, this custom has basically become a guest in the house, and the host gives some silver money to the subordinates in the house.
With the generosity of the Lin family, it is natural to throw money all the way to the Lin family's mansion.
The crowd rushed towards the convoy.
Eleven then commanded the rest of the Chiyun Riders to take out a large closed iron cage from the cabin, which was covered with a black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
The guards guarding in front of the carriage opened the iron box on the carriage, and sure enough, there were a lot of ice cubes, and they put the cage into the iron box with the black cloth, during which the contents of the cage seemed to struggle for a moment, and let out a very threatening low roar.
The guards were so frightened that they took a half step back.
Eleven said with a cold face: "Be careful, don't hurt inside." ”
After the iron box fell into no less than five locks, Eleven personally pressed the last carriage away.
A tall building behind the green bamboo just happens to have a panoramic view of the riverside.
The windows were ajar, and as far as the eye could see, there was a convoy of thousands of people cheering away.
A person in white clothes and black hair, with light eyebrows and eyes like a fairy, the tea in his hand has long been cold, but he still hasn't put it down. In front of him, a game of black and white chess pieces that killed each other had already fallen into a dead end.
The girl dressed in pink and with a few freckles on her face jumped in flexibly from the window, her mouth pursed, and she looked a little unhappy: "Beautiful sister is not beautiful anymore." ”
The girl raised her eyes to look at the man opposite, tilted her head, and seemed to be a little puzzled: "Does my brother not like my sister?" Why didn't you let me save her at the time? ”
The teacup in Chu Cheng's hand shook for a moment, spilling a few drops of tea stains and splashing on the chessboard.
After a long time, I heard him say: "Things that are too perfect always cause people to scramble, and fakes can't compare to the original ones anyway, so you can only break the original perfect things." ”
The girl was Tao Yao, she nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly asked, "But the thing is broken, no one will want to ask for it, right?" ”
Chu Cheng was stunned by these words, and then smiled, pale, but paranoid, "Yes, no one wants anything ruined, only I want it, and she is the only one left......"
………………………………………………………………
The hospitality of the Lin family, Jun Xi saw the three aunts and eight aunts, and came to see her every once in a while, if it wasn't for Lin Miao blocking back, Jun Xi really couldn't cope with it.
The Lin family she really saw was only her uncle and grandmother.
Knowing that her face was burned and her eyes couldn't see, the old lady of the Lin family fainted from crying that night, and her aunt was also grief-stricken, so she asked her to recuperate well, and the posts looking for famous doctors were sent out from the Lin family in waves.
After she settled down, Lin Miao went out again, saying that she would go to the medical valley in person and ask the divine doctor to go out of the mountain for her.
The doctors in the rivers and lakes who were rumored to be miraculous entered the Lin Mansion in waves, and left in embarrassment in waves.
The wound on Jun Xi's hand has healed, and his eyes are ...... There has been no improvement, and she knows that it is unlikely that she will regain her sight.
In the twelve hours a day, Tangyuan cried with a handkerchief for eight hours, but his eyes were inflamed from crying, which made Junxi angry and distressed.
Maybe it's because he's already died once, but Jun Xi sees everything very openly, at least...... She's still alive, isn't she?
The matter of the Lin'an flood has always been in his heart, what river god sacrifices, what pond water ghosts, but they are all tricks played by people with hearts.
Uncle Lin and the governor of Jiangnan can also be called friends, Jun Xi mentioned it to Uncle Lin once, and Uncle Lin also learned from Lin Miao that Jun Xi was in trouble there, so he immediately went to the Jiangnan governor's mansion.
Lin'an County ordered the people to be fishy and meaty, and they had no merit in the past few years, and they also committed several murder cases Once it was confirmed, even the Li County Order was put in prison, just waiting to be beheaded after the autumn.
Because the river is in disrepair, floods every year, fooling the people to sacrifice girls to the news to the court, the Son of Heaven is furious, and learned that the folk merchants have paid money, willing to rest the river, without using the treasury, the emperor Longyan Dayue, gave those righteous merchants a false name to show their reward.
Among them, Uncle Lin is naturally the one who pays the most, and the matter of Lin'an water control is officially put on the agenda, and neither the Duke of Huguo nor Xi Bohou can use this name to make up their minds on military salaries.
Jun Xi's heart is completely settled.
The people of Lin'an County didn't know how to know that it was the boat of the county lord of Zhenbei who passed by Lin'an Wharf that day, and they were grateful to her one by one, saying that she had taught Li County Order, and she couldn't see the tragic image of Lin'an's flood every year, so she asked the court to rest the river and carved a stone statue for her.
Jun Xi finished listening to Tang Yuan, and laughed for a long time.
No matter what, there should be no accident on Junchen's side in terms of military salary.
Hai Dongqing flew to Saibei once in two days, Jun Xi was afraid that what Aunt Hu said was true, so she asked Tang Yuan to write, she read, a few words, and let Jun Chen guard against the Gu technique in southern Xinjiang.
Jun Xi specially told Aunt Mo that they were not allowed to send a letter to Jun Chen about their injuries.
Xu is war is getting busier and busier, Junchen is replying less and less, and there are only a handful of words on the letterhead.
Jun Xi put a small box next to his pillow, which was full of letters from Jun Chen. When the pear blossoms bloomed, there was only one letter in her box.
By the time Pear Blossom was gone, more than half of the paper in her box.
When Xia He opened, Junchen didn't come back, and he didn't reply to her with another letter.
