Operation 237
The sudden news couldn't help but make Xia Yuhua stop, and she didn't know what was going on, she couldn't describe her inner feelings at the moment. Let's talk about accidents, there are indeed some accidents, after all, I just saw a living person yesterday, and it's not an accident to say that it's not an accident, it was a death sentence before the end of the year, so it's a matter of the past few days.
"When?" She still asked an extra question, everyone was already dead, but there was no need to waste extra energy to hate such an unworthy person.
The housekeeper hurriedly replied: "I really don't know exactly when, I heard that it was found by the jailer when he went in to deliver breakfast early this morning, and the person was already out of breath, and it looks like he was killed by himself!" ”
Commit suicide? Xia Yuhua didn't expect this. After a while, he didn't think much about it, nodded to indicate that he knew, and then continued to go out with Feng'er. Seeing this, the housekeeper did not delay, and quickly walked towards the master deliberately, and hurried to tell the master the news.
Lu Fu died, the Lu family collapsed, and the grievances and grievances between the Xia family and the Lu family have come to a perfect end since then. Whether it is because Lu Fu has no love, or because he is desperate, or because he finally repents, he has a sense of self-blame and guilt in his heart...... In short, his death, like his person, will no longer have the slightest impact on Xia Yuhua.
All the way to the hospital, I found that the flow of people on the street was getting more and more, and many people were busy preparing for the last two days to welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival. The capital was already dressed in a festive manner, with all kinds of red hanging on the doors of the shops on both sides and the houses of all four households, and even the most demanding people in the past couldn't help but loosen up a lot, adding a touch of joy to this cold winter.
Everything had already been arranged in the medical hall, and Xia Yuhua really didn't need to worry about it at all, and she even felt that when her husband left, it didn't make much difference whether she told her or not, and whether he would entrust these things to her. It's just that Feng'er left some silver tickets for the steward, and gave the doctor and the guys in the store more silver for the New Year. It is not easy for these people all year round, especially many people who not only have to support themselves, but also have to rely on this salary to support their families.
After coming out of the medical hall, Xia Yuhua took Feng'er around the street. Feel the joyful atmosphere too. Although there are only her and her father during the New Year this year, it is not very lively, but the housekeeper is not sloppy at all, and has already let the people in the house take care of everything in advance and make all kinds of preparations for the New Year, so she doesn't have to worry about anything else.
She spun around twice and picked out a few small things. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is good to add a little reward to Feng'er and a few other girls. It's not worth much, but it's a little bit of heart. During the Chinese New Year last year, she also personally bought a little gift for these girls, and she felt a special happiness when she saw the happy faces.
In many cases, people do not necessarily need too many valuable things to maintain each other, but what is really needed is a heart, if there is a heart. Even the smallest things can make people feel happy and satisfied.
Feng'er also picked out a lot of small things, for this girl, not only buying these things made her feel happy. And between bargaining, she can also enjoy indescribable happiness. Looking at the joy on Feng'er's face, Xia Yuhua couldn't help but smile, and secretly said in her heart that she was really a girl who was very easy to be content.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Yuhua and his father spent a simple but warm New Year, although it seems a lot colder than other people's homes, but for Xia Yuhua, he doesn't care too much about whether it is lively or not, as long as the family can be safe, so it is good.
On the sixth day of junior high school, the Xia family finally became lively. Fei'er, who returned to her mother's house from her mother-in-law's house to visit relatives, made an appointment with Du Xiangling and went to Xia's house to find Xia Yuhua for a good day.
Mo Fei and Du Xiangling both brought a lot of carefully prepared gifts to Xia Yuhua, all of which were some very special and interesting things they brought from their in-laws' house.
The maids of several families are also old acquaintances, and they happily talk about some things after parting. They were all excited about this reunion. After some lively jokes, Feng'er understood the master's thoughts very well and beckoned several maids from each family to the next room to eat tea and chat, and vacated the room, so that a few young ladies and their own young ladies could have a good chat and talk. I haven't seen them for so long, and they must have a lot of thoughtful things to say.
After all the little girls in the room retreated, Xia Yuhua, Mo Er, and Du Xiangling could finally talk quietly. Several people each talked about their recent situation, and they were all quite emotional in their words.
Xia Yuhua listened with a smile, and it could be seen that Du Xiangling and Fei'er were finally doing well now, Fei'er didn't need to say it, there was undisguised joy and happiness between her words, and even Du Xiangling's whole person's expression and mood were much better than when she got married.
Fei'er is doing everything well now, a good husband and a good mother-in-law get along well, just like falling into a honey pot, and I haven't heard her mention anything bad. The joy and sweetness are completely heartfelt, without the slightest artificiality. And although Du Xiangling is not as smooth as Fei'er, she also mentioned a little that some people in her mother-in-law's family are not easy to get along with, but when she mentioned her husband, she was also smiling, obviously on the whole, she was more happy than normal troubles.
Seeing that Mo Er and Du Xiangling have finally found a wishful husband and are doing well, Xia Yuhua is happy for them. Thinking that it would be better for them to have a few more children in the future, and to teach each other husband and children in the future, and the family would be happy.
"Sister Xia, now that Sister Du and I have found a home, do you have a heart for your own marriage?" Fei'er talked for a long time, but she didn't feel thirsty, she didn't even move the tea on the side, and she directly cared about Xia Yuhua's marriage.
Hearing Fei'er's words, Xia Yuhua didn't have time to respond, but Du Xiangling on the side immediately took over and said: "Fei'er is right, Yuhua, you are really not young now, you have to pay attention to it." Du Xiangling said with a smile: "When she came, Fei'er simply asked you to be her sister-in-law, I think it's good." Brother Mo is really a good candidate, anyway, you are not young, so let's just do this marriage this year. ”
"Okay, that's a good idea!" Fei'er clapped her hands in agreement. smiled very energetically: "Although my third brother has never taken the initiative to tell me anything, I can see early on that as long as Sister Xia nods, the third brother will definitely want to marry back now!" ”
"You two, if you are really married, you are talking more and more unobstructed, what are you talking about!" Xia Yuhua didn't affirm or deny anything this time. just deliberately opened the topic and continued: "By the way, how long can you stay when you come back this time?" ”
"Okay, Sister Xia, didn't you start the topic again?" Mo Er saw Xia Yuhua's thoughts at a glance, and quipped: "Don't be ashamed, in my opinion, this good thing is probably near, if it weren't for the third brother who came back this time, he wouldn't have touched it when he went to the field." Otherwise, I will directly pull the third brother over to propose marriage. Even grandpa spoke yesterday, so the third brother worked harder this year. Marry you into the Mo family. My grandfather likes Sister Xia very much, and she has already been regarded as a prospective granddaughter-in-law early on. ”
"Fei'er, why are you getting more and more energetic?" Xia Yuhua saw that Fei'er had even carried Mr. Mo out, and for a while, the calm she had pretended to be a little relaxed: "Be careful, I'll only leave Sister Du to eat for a while." ”
"Sister Du, look, Sister Xia blushed......" Fei'er didn't care about Xia Yuhua's threat, but stared at Xia Yuhua's face very carefully, and excitedly pointed out a few faint reds.
"Really, it seems that it won't be long before there will be a happy wine to drink." Du Xiangling also laughed.
"And ......"
For a while, the little sisters kept laughing and joking with each other. The laughter in the room came and went, making this place that had always been peaceful a rare lively. And this day also made Xia Yuhua rare ease and happiness, as if he had returned to the worry-free years when he was thirteen or fourteen years old again, without the slightest burden and scruples, jokes and jokes, as simple as a ...... Child!
In a few days, Xia Yuhua got together with Fei'er and Du Xiangling twice. It's just that it wasn't in the Xia family after that, she saw Fei'er and Du Xiangling's husband, but she really responded to the sentence that it is better to see than to see, and she was even more indescribably happy to see that these two young couples were so harmonious and beautiful when they were together.
Seeing that everyone around her can get true happiness is the greatest happiness for her.
originally thought that this Fei'er Du Xiangling would at least go back to her parents' house after the Lantern Festival, but it was only the ninth day of the first lunar month, and the two of them went back with their husbands one after another. Although the little sisters were extremely reluctant, they had to say goodbye and look forward to seeing each other again next time.
The year has almost passed, and it is the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, and on the night of the first day, Xia Yuhua quietly entered the space and was busy for a long time before coming out. Early in the morning, after eating a bowl of Lantern Festival made by Aunt Wang herself, I heard Feng'er shouting about wanting to see the lanterns at night.
Listening to the girl's tone, she naturally wanted to go, but Xia Yuhua didn't agree, and she didn't know if she had the spare time to see the lanterns today, so she simply shouldn't be good at first, so as not to disappoint this girl when she got it.
Seeing this, Feng'er was not unhappy, and when she saw that there was nothing to do, she found some materials to come over and make lanterns. To tell the truth, this girl is really not good at making lanterns, but fortunately, now this temperament is becoming more and more calm, and it took a long time to persuade her, but she also made a decent appearance.
"Miss, can you see if it's okay?" Feng'er looked very proud: "It's not painted yet, the slave maid will have to think about how to decorate it in a while to look good." ”
The semi-finished product in his hand already made Xia Yuhua feel very good, and he was about to praise a few words, when suddenly there was a commotion outside.
"What happened?" Feng'er was surprised, and hurriedly put down the lantern in her hand, got up and went out to see what was going on. And Xia Yuhua didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help but get up and walk out together.
When I went out to take a look, I couldn't help but be surprised, but I saw five or six black-clothed men standing in the courtyard, and the housekeeper hurriedly followed, even Songzi was there, with a solemn expression.
As soon as Xia Yuhua came out, one of the black-clothed men hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists at her and said, "Miss Xia, we are from the Five Princes' Mansion, and I am ordered by His Highness to take you and Master Xia to a safe place immediately!" ”
As he spoke, the man handed over a letter. Seeing this, Feng'er didn't know the truth, but she hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to her young lady.
The man in black who spoke, Xia Yuhua had indeed seen it in the Five Princes' Mansion before. It was indeed a more important person beside Zheng Moran, so he didn't doubt his words, but quickly opened the letter to see what happened, why Zheng Moran suddenly sent someone over, saying that he and his father should be moved to a safe place?
She quickly read the contents of the letter, and couldn't help frowning for a while, she didn't expect such a change to suddenly happen today. She didn't think much of it. He immediately asked the butler, "Where is my father now?" ”
"The master should be in the study, and the slave didn't have time to tell him, as soon as they came in, they showed their identities in the Five Princes' Mansion, and directly said that they had something important to see you first, so the slave didn't dare to delay." The butler didn't know what was going on, but hurried back.
"Come with me, go find my father!" Xia Yuhua immediately made a decision, and took the lead in walking out. I want to take someone to find Xia Dongqing.
Seeing this, everyone naturally immediately received the order and was about to follow out. saw that Xia Dongqing had already rushed in.
"Yu'er, what's going on?" The reason why Xia Dongqing came so quickly was because the secret guard beside him had already gone to tell him when the people from the Five Princes' Mansion came in, and he didn't know what the situation was, he was worried that something was going on on his daughter's side, so he ran over without saying a word.
"Daddy, the people sent by the palace to arrest you are already on the way, this time the emperor is afraid that he has made up his mind to kill you, and the fifth prince has sent someone to escort you to another place to take refuge for a while. You have to go with them and they will get you to safety. Xia Yuhua didn't have time to explain more, so he said to the black-clothed people: "Hurry up, the people from the palace may be here soon!" ”
Hearing her daughter's words, Xia Dongqing reacted quickly. It seems that because of the Lu family's affairs, the emperor is afraid that he will not let him go, since Lu Fu knows that the evidence is from the Xia family, how can the emperor not know? Now that he still has such the ability to get these things, how can the emperor rest assured of him?
And Yuhua's intention was to let him escape, and these people sent by the five princes were here to deliver the letter and help him escape together.
"Yu'er, what do you mean by that? Let Daddy go first and avoid this disaster? Xia Dongqing waved his hand and said: "I, Xia Dongqing, have lived for so many years, even if I am down, I have never run away in embarrassment!" No, I won't leave, I'd rather be killed by the emperor than be a deserter for my father! ”
Xia Dongqing's face was angry, obviously full of chill for what the emperor had done today, but no matter what, he would rather die standing than run away like this.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhua naturally understood his father's thoughts, but at this moment, he couldn't talk about so much integrity or backbone. It is said that if you stay in Qingshan in the talent, you are not afraid of no firewood, if it is according to my father's temper, this kind of thinking, I am afraid that I just happened to fall into the emperor's scheming.
Zheng Moran made it very clear in the letter that the emperor already knew that the matter of Lu Xiang and the Seven Princes was related to the Xia family, so it was absolutely impossible for the emperor to let Xia Dongqing go this time. Once the people sent by the palace are brought into the palace, the consequences can be imagined. That's why Zheng Moran took the risk to come over to report the news before the people in the palace arrived, and asked people to transfer Xia Dongqing and them in advance. As long as no one can be found, the emperor can't do anything for the time being, and they can buy time to change the status quo and find a way to solve this trouble.
But now, my father's attitude is extremely obvious, and I am afraid that no matter how much I persuade him, he will not leave easily. And they don't have much time left, and if they delay for a while, there will be more danger, and they won't be able to leave if they want to!
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhua immediately made a decision, no longer hesitated, she pretended to persuade her, and at the same time glanced at the pine nuts on the side when Xia Dongqing was not paying attention: "Daddy, it doesn't matter what is next to you at this time, save your life, and we will have the day to turn over in the future!" Now that time is running out, don't be angry, hurry up and go through the back door first, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood......"
"You don't have to persuade me, I won't leave!" Xia Dongqing waved his hand and said, "Once I leave this matter, I will never ...... it again."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Dongqing only felt a sudden pain in the back of his neck, and then fainted. And under Xia Yuhua's signal, the pine nut who did it naturally supported Xia Dongqing and did not let him fall to the ground.
"Daddy, there's no time, and my daughter can't help it, please don't blame my daughter!" Xia Yuhua said to Xia Dongqing, who had already fainted, and then did not hesitate, and turned to the black-clothed people and said: "I have to work everyone, please take my father to leave through the back door first, and his safety will be handed over to you!" ”
Hearing Xia Yuhua's order, those black recognizers were stunned for a moment, obviously they all heard the meaning of Xia Yuhua's words, and it seemed that this Miss Xia had no intention of leaving with them. However, what they got from their master's order was to send Xia Dongqing and Xia Yuhua to a safe place to protect them.
"Miss Xia, the fifth prince has an order, you have to leave with you, if the people in the palace can't find General Xia, they will definitely not let you go." The man in black who spoke earlier also hurriedly said: "Your Highness said that keeping you safe first is the most important thing, and there will naturally be ways to solve the rest in the future." ”
"No, I can't go! If I leave, there will be no day for the Xia family to turn over in the future! Xia Yuhua looked firm, and said to his father: "When my father wakes up, please tell him on his behalf, let him rest assured, I have my own way to solve today's matter, you can take him away quickly, as long as my father spends this day safely, everything can be solved, and the Xia family can also take the initiative in the future!" ”
"But Miss Xia, if people from the palace can't find General Xia for a while, they will definitely take you away!" The man in black said: "For your safety, I dare not let you stay here alone!" ”
"Needless to say, if the fifth prince blames, you can tell him that I am waiting to enter the palace to face the saint!" Xia Yuhua smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to die, but I really have a way to resolve this crisis." But if you are here again, once the people in the palace come, I am afraid that no one will be able to leave, and my plan will be ruined! ”
"But ......" The man in black seemed to be a little unwilling.
"No, but! Let's go! Xia Yuhua interrupted the man in black with a straight face, and then ordered Songzi: "Songzi, you quickly take them out the back door, don't make any mistakes!" ”
"Yes!" Songzi is a person who understands, Miss must have a reason for doing this, and if those people in black hesitate any longer, I am afraid that they will delay Miss's big event.
He picked up Xia Dongqing, who had already fainted, and then strode out, and when those black-clothed people saw this, they knew that Xia Yuhua had made up his mind, so they had to leave first.
"Miss, what should we do next?" Seeing this, Feng'er on the side reacted before the housekeeper, this will be kung fu, she is not the slightest bit afraid of anything, anyway, no matter what the young lady does, she will listen and help on the side!
"You don't have to do anything, no matter who comes to the house for a while, what happens, you don't have to pay attention, just don't know anything, if I am taken away for a while, don't panic, take care of the family, wait at home for me to come back, understand?" Xia Yuhua glanced at Feng'er and the housekeeper, and there was a twelve-point calmness and composure in his eyes.
"But Miss, in case the people in the palace ......" The housekeeper will also see the doorway in this, so of course he is worried about Miss in his heart.
But before he finished speaking, Xia Yuhua shook his head and took over the words: "I said earlier that there is a way to solve it, you don't have to worry. Feng'er, go and fetch me the bag in the first drawer of the bookcase, and don't leave anything in it behind. Butler, you go and explain to the people in the house, no one is allowed to say half a word, understand? ”
"Yes!" When Feng'er and the housekeeper heard this, they didn't say anything else, and they each did what they were told.
