Chapter Seventy-Four: Letter from the Palace

"You mean, that slut doesn't live in the Jiang family's house?"

In the special earth-conditioned study room of the Wu Mansion, Wu Siyuan was dressed in filial piety clothes and said excitedly. An embarrassed man in black knelt on the ground honestly, not even daring to raise his head.

"Yes, after the villain set the fire, he hid not far away to watch the movement. I never thought that those mud-legged people saw the Jiang family's house on fire, and they all ran crazy to put it out, shouting something 'female bodhisattva' in their mouths. Later, there were more and more people, and the small ones were forced to have no choice, so they had to hide in the pig pen of a farmhouse and were lucky not to be discovered. But at that time, Mrs. Xie Yuan ...... Belch...... But the slut appeared from outside with a maid! ”

"You guess you're from the farm, aren'......?" Wu Siyuan asked through gritted teeth.

"Look in the direction she's coming, it should be! Adults, little ones didn't expect that the slut was not in the house......"

Wu Siyuan looked at him like him, forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and handed over two silver tickets of one hundred taels and a letter:

"Take this letter and go to Shangzhou to find the official's maternal uncle, and ask him to arrange for you to live there for a while. This official lost his father, and according to the regulations, he needs to be worried about filial piety for three years, and he can't protect you for the time being! ”

The man in black took the envelope and the silver ticket, and withdrew with a thousand thanks. When he was far away, Wu Siyuan sat down dejectedly, and said to himself in a hoarse, cold voice without a trace of emotion:

"Jiang Zhixuan, Xiao Xiaoxiao, wait, I, Wu Siyuan, and you...... Implacable! ”

===============================================

Early in the morning, love the small farm.

Xiaoxiao got up early to wash, and Qing'er prepared breakfast in the kitchen. Last night, I had a table of wine and didn't stop until the early hours of the morning. Uncle Jiang and the others seemed very restrained at first, but after a few glasses of wine, they slowly let go. In addition, Li Qin and Li Siye, two foodies, enlivened the atmosphere, so when they got to the back, they really felt like a family.

I have to mention Li Qin and Li Siye, both of whom like to eat, the difference is: Li Qin pursues quality, while Li Siye pays attention to quantity. A table of banquets, more than a dozen dishes, and a large pot of soup, plus a pot of rice. In the end, he was eaten cleanly, which finally made Xiaoxiao wake up: No wonder you don't need to be paid! Just to keep him fed, I'm afraid it's an expense that is not less than the money of two people......

Yesterday was a dinner, so a large table of people ate together. On weekdays, Xiaoxiao still plans to go their separate ways, after all, it's not good if they really get too close. Leaders still have to have a sense of mystery, which has taught her many years of businessmanship.

Breakfast was only eaten with Xiaoxiao and Li Qin, and the beard had been instructed to spread rumors in the market. She spends her time in town and mingles with a gang of long-tongued women. Just need to mention it there a little, and I believe that this news will spread to the neighboring towns as quickly as possible.

Lord Wu...... You're waiting for the burnout!

While having breakfast, Xiaoxiao talked to Li Qin:

"Brother Qin, in the past two days, you will reminisce and sort out at home, see what poetry books you need to buy, and take some time to accompany me to the bookstore in the county seat to buy them back!"

Li Qin nodded in agreement, and then asked:

"Sister, how long have I been here this time?"

Xiaoxiao was stunned by his question, and after recalling it for a while, he replied uncertainly: "It's been almost a month, right?" ”。 Anyway, there are so many things that have happened during this time, and she really hasn't remembered this.

Unexpectedly, Li Qin was even more surprised than her: "Huh? Has it been so long? ”

Xiao Xiao looked at his appearance and asked with a smile, "What?" Do you miss your father and mother? ”

Li Qin scratched his head: "That's not it, it's just that before I came out, my father asked me to stay for a month and go back, otherwise it will be difficult to come out in the future." I didn't expect a month to pass so quickly! ”

Xiaoxiao didn't expect him to really go back, and he felt a little regretful in his heart. This younger brother, although he didn't help much during this time, but with him as a man, he has somewhat made his heart feel a lot more stable. But the father could not fail to listen to his words, so he said to him in a kind way:

"Since my father said so, then you can sort out those books today, and I will buy them myself. By the way, prepare some things, you can bring them to my mother for me! ”

Li Qin sighed when he heard this: "Sister, there are many places to spend money on the farm now, so you can save it!" After a while, when I finish breakfast, I will put together a list of books for you. As for the things, let's bring it to her when you go to Longzhou, I'm a weak scholar, I've traveled so far in dog days, and I have to bring big bags of things, you want to tire me to death? ”

Xiao Zhanyan smiled: "There are not many things, just some objects that I made myself to honor my mother." ”

Li Qin was relieved, he thought that the old lady was going to spend money to buy some gifts. In other words, there is nothing good in the history of a governor, and the old lady is so difficult now, there is no need to spend that silver.

So, after breakfast, Li Qin climbed on the big round table and wrote out the burned books in Jiang Zhixuan's room from memory. Xiaoxiao went to the farm and came back after a walk, and saw that he hadn't finished writing. So I went back to my room and carefully prepared what I wanted to bring to my mother-in-lawβ€”that new type of pad......

Since the farm is far from the town, it takes longer to go back and forth every day to buy groceries. In addition, there are other tasks today, so the beard came back from the town relatively late. Unexpectedly, when she passed by the Jiang family's courtyard, which had become a ruin, she saw a postman wandering on the ruins.

Seeing this, she thought to herself, could it be that she had any letter to give to Miss? Thinking like this, he asked aloud:

"Hey, who's that, what are you looking for? But is there a letter from my young lady? ”

The postman turned around, and saw that it was a little girl who looked like a maid, and replied with a smile:

"Yes, girl, this is Jiang Jieyuan's mansion?" , Seeing that the beard nodded, he pointed to the ruins and asked puzzledly:

"Why did you become like this?"

The maneze was impatient with him, so he asked directly: "If you want to take care of it, you can say, is there a letter from my young lady?" ”

The postman asked, "Is your young lady ......?" ”

"Oh", the beard stuck out his tongue, how could he forget this stubble, and hurriedly said:

"My young lady is the wife of Duke Xie Yuan, surnamed Xiao!"

"Great!" , the postman was overjoyed, took out a letter from his bosom and shook it in front of the mane: "It is a letter from Mrs. Xie Yuan, please take it with you quickly, and present it to Mrs. Xie Yuan!" ”

"You just give it to me, why do you have to present it face-to-face?" , the mustache is not happy!

The postman smiled bitterly: "Girl, this letter is from the palace, according to the rules, it must be delivered to the recipient in person, so ......"

Two sentences in the belly: What a rule! But since people insisted on not giving it, she couldn't force it, so she pouted and turned around: "Follow this girl!" ”

The postman replied, "Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl! ”

The mantle didn't speak, but he thought in his head: "In the palace, .................. in the palace?" When he figured it out, he suddenly quickened his pace under his feet, and shouted loudly:

"Miss, my uncle has a letter......
