Chapter 159

When He Dani left the palace and returned home, she took the carriage of the official post and stayed at the official post station, and there was a fixed number of ways to drive every day. This time I returned to Beijing, and the accommodation place was a rural village store, and the distance between each accommodation was different, and only travelers who often ran on this road knew how many roads they had to walk after setting off every day to meet the next accommodation.

The team of Xiangjia Branch, the guys who drive the car are all veterans, and the daily itinerary is accurate, and they can always arrive at the accommodation place when it is dark. Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou all told He Dani that it was great to be able to follow the convoy together, otherwise if they went on the road alone, I was afraid that they would slow down the trip because they didn't dare to miss the accommodation point, which was how they went to Gusang County at that time, so they arrived a few days later than He Dani.

As soon as the convoy entered the 'gate' of the capital, He Dani stuffed a silver coin into Aunt Zhou's hands as a hard work fee for so many days.

After entering the capital, He Dani broke up with the team, and He Dani also gave the captain a silver coin to thank them for taking care of them all the way, and then the two sides said goodbye, and Zhou Bo drove straight back to Xie's house.

As soon as the carriage entered the capital, Gui 'Hua' and He Xiaojie were attracted by the bustling street scene, lying on the window and watching intently, the carriage entered Xie's house from the side 'door', and after everyone got off, Gui 'Hua' and He Xiaojie had not come back to their senses.

The lady in charge of the Xie family got the news from the next person, and hurried to this side courtyard to greet her, "Oh, Doctor He, I can be regarded as looking forward to you coming back."

How about the journey? It's been hard work, come on, come on, come with me to see the old lady and wife, everyone is waiting for you, I have sent someone to inform Miss at home, wait for a break at noon, and come back in the afternoon, you master and apprentice will have a good time. ”

"Aunt Xiao, have a good New Year, I'm tired." Standing on the familiar land, looking at the familiar faces, He Dani stepped forward with a smile on her face, affectionately took the hand of the lady in charge, and followed her to meet the old lady and the wife in charge.

In front of the old lady and wife, He Dani restored the original palace name of Xiangru, after all, people in the capital are familiar with this name, and He Dani, as her real name, is still good to stay on the identity document and the official household registration database.

The old lady and his wife strongly invited Xiangru to live in Xie's house, and the residence had already been arranged, and Xiangru could not be allowed to refuse, but Xiangru had no choice but to agree. I sat with the elders for a while, talked about the customs of my hometown, and then said goodbye to the elders and went down to rest with my subordinates.

The Xie family led Xiangru to the second courtyard where the master Xie Ziyan used to live, and the Xie family gave her the main house to live in and gave her the treatment of Miss Yan.

Xiangru thanked and thanked before stepping into the house and walking around to visit.

When Xiangru visited the Xie family, Osmanthus 'Hua' and Xiaojie also settled down, Xiaojie lived in the maid's room in the west wing of the inner courtyard, and Gui 'Hua' lived in the compartment next to the owner's bedroom.

This small courtyard has always been lived by Xie Ziyan, she has lived here since she was a child, and it has been vacant since she entered the palace, and she continued to be vacant after she got married and went home from the palace, until she later set Xiangru to be the food doctor hired by Xie Jiayi's 'spring' hall, so she cleaned and repaired the small courtyard again, waiting for the new owner to move in.

Today, Xiangru just entered the 'door' of the Xie family, and the girl who had already arranged for Xiangru to call was immediately sent over, and according to Miss Yan's personnel specifications, eight third-class girls and four second-class girls took care of Xiangru's diet, daily life, washing, cleaning and other things, and they lived in several rooms in the outer courtyard.

Seeing Xiangru come back, the osmanthus 'flower' and Xiaojie, who had been nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief, when the rough girls sent by the steward saluted them, they didn't know how to respond, obviously the osmanthus 'flower' had learned the basic etiquette, but as soon as she saw the twelve girls in front of her, she was so nervous that she forgot all about it.

Xiangru patted Gui Hua's hand, calmed her and Xiaojie's nervousness, and heard the twelve girls gather in the courtyard again, and asked Gui Hua to watch from the side, learn how to lecture the people below, and fulfill the duties of a qualified first-class girl.

These twelve girls were somewhat contemptuous of her when they first saw Gui 'Hua', after all, Gui 'Hua' was just a girl who had just left her hometown, rustic, and had not yet practiced the temperament that a first-class girl in Beijing should have, but she was lucky to follow a good master, and it was inevitable to be despised by the girls of the Xie family.

But as soon as Xiangru came out of Ma Xun's words, these twelve girls immediately became honest, Xiangru said what they should do, no one objected, no one objected, no one was unconvinced, because Xiangru had already jumped out of the identity of Miss Ziyan's apprentice in the eyes of these subordinates, and she was a figure who could only look up, which was not contradictory to their contempt for Osmanthus 'Hua' Xiaojie.

After Xiangru finished speaking, she clapped her hands and sent them down to do things, and she called Gui 'Hua' Xiaojie into the house to teach them some rules that are common in large households, she herself plans to move out and live alone in the future, but before that, as long as she still lives in Xie's house for a day, she must be cautious and careful.

At noon, the second-class girl brought lunch into the house, and Xiangru retreated left and right, leaving only Gui 'Hua' Xiaojie to serve the food next to him. Of course, she didn't deliberately put on a show, all this is just training, and only when she is familiar can she practice at any time when necessary.

After the initial nervousness, this time has calmed down, and she is seriously learning the homework that a first-class girl should do, how to hold chopsticks, how to pick up vegetables, how to serve bowls and other table manners.

Xiaojie is still young, although he knows that he has been sold to his sister as a slave, and he knows that he will have to work for his sister in the future, but in fact, he is still not really psychologically ready. Besides, everyone worked very hard along the way, and no one deliberately taught him the rules, so the table habits he developed at home were subconsciously 'revealed', and the delicious dishes on the dinner table hooked his saliva and gave Xiangru a bowl of soup, and saw a small vegetable leaf hanging on the spoon, Xiaojie couldn't help but 'lick' the vegetable leaf into his mouth.

When Xiangru saw it, she immediately turned her face, and copied the chopsticks with her backhand and 'pumped' it on Xiao Jie's hand holding the spoon, and the spoon fell on the table in response, and Xiao Jie immediately fell out of pain in pain.

"Don't cry!" Xiangru snorted, she had never seen such a stern sister, and Xiaojie was immediately so frightened that she held back her tears.

"He Xiaojie, what do you think you are now? You are my slave, you have to abide by the rules of a slave, and you dare to 'lick' my soup spoon in front of me without my permission, believe it or not, I will 'hand' you over to the outside to 'whip' you ten whips and remember 'sex'? ”

"Don't, sister, I don't dare, I know it's wrong, I won't do it next time. Don't hit me. Xiaojie was so frightened that he begged for mercy, and looked at the osmanthus 'flower' pitifully, hoping that she would also help intercede.

Gui 'Hua' is getting older in the end, and she knows that Xiangru is for the good of her younger brother, and she will learn the rules she should learn in the Xie family now, and it will be good for him to grow up in the future, so she just can't help him shake his head and put his face aside.

"What do you do when you look at osmanthus 'flowers'? People are more sensible than you, they know their identity, and they abide by their duties, how can you be like you who are uneducated, I really don't know how they educate you when you are at home. ”

"I'm sorry, I know that I made a mistake, I must change it, and I won't do it again." He Xiaojie drooped his head, thinking of his father and mother at home, and the tears slipped down again and dripped to the ground.

"He Xiaojie, you'd better remember that you signed a living contract, although I can't transfer you to others, but during the contract period, I can beat you and scold you, and I can let you do the lowest rough work. If you still want to be a respectable first-class guy by my side, you'd better get rid of those bad 'faults' as soon as possible and don't make me angry. ”

"Yes, I know, I'll change it." He Xiaojie wiped away his tears and raised his head, "Then, do I want to call you a girl like Sister Guihua?" ”

"No, you can still call me sister." He Xiaojie doesn't care if she changes her mouth or not, she can't hide the big gossip that her half-brother sold himself into slavery at all, so it's better to let it go so generously and let people talk about it.

"Yes, sister."

Xiangru glanced at Xiaojie's hand, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Xiaojie shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

"Remember this lesson, and next time you won't just hit it with chopsticks."

"Yes, I remember."

"Go outside and call someone to come in and clean up, I won't eat, you can go down to eat with Osmanthus 'Hua'."

"Yes, girl (sister)." Gui 'Hua' and Xiao Jie opened the 'door' and went out, called the second-class girl to come in and clean up the dining table and wash their hands and rinse their mouths, and finished these chores, Xiangru went back to the bedroom to rest by herself, Gui 'Hua' and Xiaojie went to the pantry with the four second-class girls to eat, and their lunch has been warm on the tea stove in the pantry.

Xiangru slept for a while before she got up to make up, and then she heard someone come in to report that Miss Xie Jiayan was back from the family's 'milk' and 'milk' Miss Ziyan.

Xiangru hurriedly packed up her instrument and ran out of the house to meet the master.

Xiangru ran to the courtyard, Xie Ziyan also happened to come in from outside the courtyard, followed by her personal maid and a group of little girls, everyone was holding a burden in their hands, it was the 'private' things that Xiangru 'handed over' to Xie Ziyan for custody in the Beijing Post House that day, and now all of them are returned.

"Xiangru!" Xie Ziyan stretched out her hands and walked forward quickly.

"Master!" Xiangru rushed over, opened her arms and gave Xie Ziyan a big bear hug, and the two hugged each other and turned around several times before holding hands and going back to the house to rest and chat.

The two sat down in the bedroom of the East House, and the girl brought the tea and all withdrew, leaving only Xiangru and Ziyan to talk.

There was no one around, and the master and apprentice had no scruples when they spoke, Xiangru told the master the origin of the osmanthus 'flower' Xiaojie, and Xie Ziyan also understood what to say in front of the two of them in the future.

Then Xie Ziyan asked about the details of Xiangru's separation from her family, because the Xiangjia branch did not tell them the details, and the news that Xie Ziyan and the other related people knew came from rumors in the market, and they couldn't tell the rumored moisture content at all.

As said in the court that day, Gusang County is the only way to enter Beijing, and this matter is known to the whole county, when the case is closed, Xiangru is busy with the New Year at her grandfather's house, the capital already knows about this big gossip.

For the general public, it is an after-dinner conversation, but for a certain group of people, this is a signal that Mrs. He wants to return to Beijing.

"Don't think about those sad things in the past, finally come back to Beijing again, just be your doctor, these days when you are away, everyone can miss you. They are all smart people, as soon as they heard that something like this happened to you, they immediately began to inquire, and we also released the news in a timely manner, saying that a 'spring' hall sent you a letter of appointment in time, and you have accepted it, and you will come back in the next year.

I received a lot of appointments within a few days after the news went out, and after the Shangyuan Festival, your famous doctor He will officially go to the clinic. Xie Ziyan said with a smile, in fact, this matter was the last step to let Xiangru stay in the capital for a long time reasonably.

"Appointments are scheduled? I've just come back, don't take on any patients like confinement all at once, I haven't done anything for a long time, give me time to readjust. Xiangru nodded, and the topic came to business.

"Hmm~ There's no way, your ability to serve the confinement is well-known among the magnates in the capital, how many people are lining up to ask you by name." Xie Ziyan spread her hands.

Xiangru stuck out her tongue slightly, "Won't you have a job to serve the confinement child?" ”

"Oh, that's not, I gave you a month to adapt, this is already the maximum time limit that the general manager can get for you, and the little 'spring' hall really can't bargain too much with the powerful people."

"Oh my God, do you really want me to be a full-time confinement lady?"

"Confinement sister-in-law? Specializing in 'door' service to confinement? Have you come up with a new term? Hehe, it's also appropriate. ”

"I don't mind, sister-in-law, but serving up to twelve maternity 'women' a year, earning a thousand taels of silver at most, some are not enough." As soon as she returned to the capital, Xiangru lost her money.

"I don't know what you're thinking? If it's not enough, you have to give me an honest food doctor for half a year, take care of the relationship again, and when you officially gain a foothold in the capital, you can do whatever you want in the future, you want to open a business and earn a dowry by yourself as a boss lady It's your business, we don't ask, we can't ask. Xie Ziyan stretched out her slender 'jade' finger and tapped Xiangru's forehead, summoned the intimate girl outside, and brought a box and placed it on the table between the two.

Xie Ziyan opened the box, which was full of boxes of silver, copper coins and silver tickets, at the post station at that time, how did Xiangru 'hand' her entire net worth to Xie Ziyan, and Xie Ziyan now 'handed over' the amount.

"This is the money you deposited with me at the beginning, and now I will pay you back as it is, I don't see it, you have saved a lot of money in recent years, and the capital for trading is barely enough, but if you want a prosperous shop in a good location, you still have to work hard to make money."

Xiangru casually picked up a silver coin and tossed it in her hand, "I know that the land in the capital is expensive, so I didn't say that I don't want to be a food doctor." I'm just one now, and I'm just going to have money. ”

"Yo yo yo, why did you suddenly say it so pitifully, with the name of your Xiangru, how many people are willing to line up to marry you into the 'door', I'm afraid you won't look down on others." Xie Ziyan raised her handkerchief and said, "But seriously, we all understand that you want to earn your own dowry, but your age is here, if you don't hurry up and set a 'door' family affair, in two years, you really can't get married." ”

As soon as she heard this topic, Xiangru was discouraged, she had no interest in marrying, after all, she was a reincarnated traveler, not to mention material things, just the huge gap at the level of "spirit" and god did not know how many light years away, since the reincarnation of her true "nature" has been suppressed to the extreme, she finally got rid of the relationship with the so-called biological family, and she can't wait to release the real human "nature".

Xiangru knows very well that once her own 'sex' erupts, it is absolutely completely different from her current self, in her previous life, she was a strong professional 'woman' and 'sex', and she calmed down in just a few minutes when she encountered her boyfriend's 'legs' and broke up, so people's 'sex' is here, she can't become a docile 'sex' after reincarnation, it is all self-protection as a last resort in the palace environment, if everyone thinks that it is her 'nature', she will definitely surprise everyone who knows herself.

Xiangru has long thought very clearly, in this world, she can't find a man who can be in tune with her, instead of harming others and herself, it is better to make a little money leisurely, raise two cats, watch the 'flowers' of this world, red leaves and green, and slowly grow old.

She thanked Xie Ziyan and others for their concern for her, but only on the issue of marriage, she would not give in.

Xiangru knew that this problem didn't make sense to the master, just like in the world of her previous life, if a 'woman' of marriageable age didn't get married, it would be like a social nuisance like a rat crossing the street, as if she was sorry for the world if she didn't take the initiative to self-destruct.

"Master, I don't want to think about this kind of thing now, I am physically and mentally exhausted these days when I go home, I am tired, very tired, I don't want to think about anything else, I just want to make money quickly, so that I can live a quiet life for a few years. When I went home this time, I completely saw what it means to be a poor couple, and the cause of everything is because of a poor word. ”

Xie Ziyan sighed, "I understand, I understand, I understand that you want to relax and relax, but it is the destiny of 'female' people to reproduce, not what you want, and no matter how 'sex' you want, there must be a limit." ”

"Then don't get married, start a small business and be self-sufficient, who can lift my shop and tie me up to worship the church? There is no shortage of me as a 'woman' in the world. ”

"You, beware of regrets in the future." Xie Ziyan was speechless, poked Xiangru's forehead angrily and funny, and stopped continuing the topic.

Xiangru hehe, hehe, called in Osmanthus 'Flower' and Xiaojie, brought the special 'color' local products brought, took a few copies for Xie Ziyan to take back, and by the way, made an appointment to go to relatives and friends tomorrow, his own escape plan can be implemented smoothly, and the teachers and brothers and uncles have made great efforts, and it is necessary to go to the 'door' to thank you.

Xie Ziyan sat for a while, and when she saw that it was not too early, the master and apprentice said goodbye to each other.

When Xie Ziyan returned to Yu's house, she immediately wrote a short note and instructed her family to send it out, and Xiangru would visit the 'door' one by one tomorrow morning.

The news of Xiangru's return to Beijing was the first to be known to the *** family, and Mrs. Xiang notified the other families at that time, and in the evening, Yu Shao's 'milk' and 'milk' Xie's short notes were sent to Yu Xu and Shao's four houses, telling them the time for Xiangru to visit the 'door', and the four families immediately got busy and told their families to prepare things for hospitality

Entering the 'Door'
