Chapter 44: Departure
This Cui'er was only photographed by the Pan family when she entered the mansion, if this matter had nothing to do with her, she Zhou Mei didn't believe it, but now that Pei Xuanqing is not here, she can't do anything, so she can only let the Pan family suffer, but it's just a little bit of injury, it's fine in a month and a half, she just waits to see the big drama outside!
At this moment, Pei Xuanqing and his father, who were on the way to Beijing, were sitting in the carriage, the two looked anxious and solemn, Pei Xuanqing wrung his eyebrows for a long time before he spoke: "Dad, which big Buddha did the eldest brother and the second brother provoke?" didn't even give Prince An face. ”
"I heard that someone reported that it was the second prince's person." Master Pei had a calm old face, when he first went out of the capital, he explained to the two sons he left behind, he had to be careful and careful when he was done, and he brought the youngest son who was the most troublesome, but he didn't expect something to happen, and he didn't know if it was useless for his old face that had not appeared for many years when he arrived in the capital, so he got the two out.
"Second prince?" Pei Xuanqing exclaimed: "How did you provoke the second prince in a good manner?" Who was the second prince who died? He was shouted by his father and went out together, the details are not clear.
"The concubine of the second prince Xinna, said that your eldest brother had a crush on a young lady in their house, and after strengthening the family, he killed and threw the corpse into the wilderness."
Pei Xuanqing was silent when he heard this, his eldest brother is indeed not a good person, he is like this in the shopping mall, and he treats women the same, he himself looks at women and loves them, and his eldest brother loves to destroy.
"What about the second brother?"
"Cover up the sin! When the government went to arrest your eldest brother, your second brother was helping your eldest brother escape. ”
Pei Xuanqing didn't know what to say at this time, only sighed and leaned against the wall of the car, and Master Pei also buried his head in a sip of tea and stopped talking.
Qu Xiaomo is still living day by day, but recently she likes to inquire about the Pei family's affairs the most, and the Pei family has been too lively recently, and I don't know who spread it, the matter of the eldest son and second son of the Pei family has spread in Ning County, and many people are spitting and sighing, and now people in the Pei Mansion rarely go out, but there is still news coming from inside.
The third young grandmother of the Pei family, Pan Shi, has recently been in the backyard of her own courtyard in blood, and none of those concubines have not found her poisonous hands, I heard that Zhou Mei is now lying in bed to recuperate, but it is said that she only injured the flesh on her knees, and many aunts in other courtyards are much worse than her.
Qu Xiaomo listened a little unpleasant, but he didn't expect this Zhou Mei to be a little brainy, but listening to Jin Yu talk about the situation of the Pei family, I am afraid that it will be a stable day, it is easy for the Pei family father and son to enter Beijing, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of Beijing.
The letter from the capital has been coming to Fenglai Village one by one in the past two days, Jin Shisan didn't read one and asked Qu Xiaomo to grind ink back one, and she can know something about the Pei family who is literate on the side of the capital, the two sons of the Pei family who were arrested by the second prince were in capital punishment, and two days later, the Pei family father and son had just entered Beijing, and they could only collect the bodies of the two sons, but because of the hot weather, the corpses stinked, so they could only hastily find a place to bury them in the suburbs of the capital.
Master Pei went to Prince An's Mansion a few times, and when he went to the mansion for the first time, he was turned away, and it didn't help to buy off Prince An's favorite concubine to give him any gifts, but his sons were dead, he just wanted Prince An to come forward to ask for some justice, but now I'm afraid it's difficult~
The follow-up development of the Pei family, Jin Yu, didn't talk to her in detail, and she didn't have time to listen to it now, she was busy packing up her things and preparing to leave for Youzhou.
When they came, the two of them were just muddy and a long sword, but when they left, they brought a lot of good things, but most of them were local specialties, such as pickles given by Aunt Li, eggs from sister-in-law Qi, sweet potatoes from sister-in-law Zhang, etc., and everyone in the village who had dealt with Qu Xiaomo more or less gave a little souvenir.
However, Qu Xiaomo didn't ask for it in vain, and forced it to give the silver, after all, although it was just a worthless thing, it was very difficult to grow it, and Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang also packed a big bag of peanuts, no matter how Qu Xiaomo refused, they were forced to put them in the carriage.
Although she originally took them in for the sake of the two taels of silver and saving people's lives, Aunt Fang really likes Qu Xiaomo now, and although she is borrowing their house, they are begging for silver when they eat and drink, and she also has meat to eat, and she has been eating oily for nearly three months.
Originally, Jin Yu just asked people to drive a carriage, but the villagers gave them a lot of things, so they asked people to buy one or two small ones to load these things.
After Qu Xiaomo said goodbye to them one by one, she followed Jin Yu into the carriage, and when she walked away, she only saw a vague group of people and put down her hand, in fact, she was really a little reluctant, and when she earned the silver in the future, she would see if she could come here and settle down.
When the carriage was gone, Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang went home, and when they entered the house, they saw a bulging purse on the table, the two looked at each other, entered the house and opened it, only to see that there was a bag full of silver inside, and when it was poured out, there were two hundred taels of silver, and there was no one when they went out!
The two of them didn't know what to do with the silver, Aunt Fang took the silver back into her purse, and asked with some apprehension: "Boss, what should I do with so much silver?" ”
Uncle Fang took a few puffs of cigarette, and thought for a while before saying: "Take it first, I'm afraid that Jin Gongzi sent someone to leave it, but don't talk to the people in the village, some people are red and afraid of saying bad things to Xiao Mo, don't let the people of your mother's family know, you also know how powerful those people are." ”
They didn't dare to say that the ten taels of silver that went to the wedding banquet were given by Xiao Mo's child, for fear that the person who beat the autumn wind would come to the house to make trouble.
Aunt Fang hurriedly nodded in response, but it always felt that it was not safe to put such a large amount of silver, and in the end, it was Uncle Fang's idea to take a small clay pot, leaving only a few taels of silver for household use, and put the rest into the jar, and then sealed the mouth with a cloth, made a hole in the corner of the house, buried the jar, and then covered the soil tightly, so that no one would find out.
And Qu Xiaomo on the carriage couldn't see the people in the village, so he turned around and got into the carriage, Jin Yu was looking at the letter from nowhere in the carriage, there were three pieces of paper, although Qu Xiaomo was curious, he didn't dare to look around, but he still sat on the bench in the corner of the carriage as if he had just gone out, lifted the curtain with his cheeks, and looked at the scenery outside in a daze.
Jin Yu raised his eyes slightly from the letter and glanced at him, Qu Xiaomo had changed back into men's clothes, his hair was no longer tied into a bun, but directly rolled up on the top of his head, fixed with a headband, but he had recovered a little bit of a man's appearance, he had already left all the jewelry he bought in Ning County to Aunt Fang before going out, speaking of which, he preferred the appearance of wearing hairpins in his hair, and looked at women's clothes that were more suitable for her.
Qu Xiaomo felt Jin Zhen's gaze, so he tilted his head slightly, and said with some doubts: "The big shopkeeper wants to make tea?" ”
This carriage is more luxurious and spacious than the previous one, and I don't know where Jin Thirteen bought it, and there is a small stove in the car, which is prepared for boiling tea, and even some charcoal is prepared.
"You can make tea?" Jin Zhen raised his eyes and asked her
Qu Xiaomo shook his head awkwardly and smiled a little embarrassedly: "The little one won't, but I've seen it." "At the beginning, I often saw tea in advertisements for buying tea sets and tea leaves on TV, and it should be quite simple to see.
"Then you can make a pot." Jin Zhen is idle anyway, it's better to give her some work, the old man in the province looks outside in a daze, everyone is stupid.
Qu Xiaomo didn't know what he was thinking, he just thought that this person must be thirsty, so he poked his head out and begged Jin Thirteen, who was riding a tall horse on the side, for a water bladder, filled half a pot of water, and then lit the stove with a fire fold, and only put the kettle on after the charcoal was red.
When the water boiled, he took out the tea set and learned the tea art on TV, and began to seriously scald the cup with boiling water, and then made tea.
After pouring out the first tea water, it was soaked a second time before it was presented to the golden sting, and he smiled and said a little proudly: "The big shopkeeper, you taste it." ”
Jin Zhen looked at the tea that was still steaming, it was autumn and summer at this time, how could such a hot tea be drunk, so he raised his chin slightly towards the small table, and said, "Put it first, and then drink it when it is cold." ”
Qu Xiaomo secretly wrinkled his nose, put down the teacup with some dissatisfaction, and saw that he couldn't finish it alone, so he had the courage to pour himself a cup, raised his eyes and peeked at the golden sting, seeing that he ignored himself, he happily sat back in place with the cup, opened the lid and blew and tasted it, only feeling that it was a little more fragrant than the tea in the past, although she couldn't taste anything, but this was the first time she made the tea, so she naturally wouldn't dislike it.
After Qu Xiaomo drank the cup of tea in his hand, Jin Yu picked up the tea cup on the table with a little laziness, opened the lid and blew open the tea leaves, took a sip and frowned slightly, and said, "I'm old, but the fragrance of the tea is still some." ”
Qu Xiaomo, who was originally looking at him nervously, was suddenly a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and said: "This is already very good, the small one has never made tea, and the fragrance can still be there when you go out, you will be content with the big shopkeeper." ”
Jin Yu glanced at her coldly, put down the teacup and continued to look at the letter, this kid is less and less interested in him.
Seeing that he looked too lazy to take care of her, Qu Xiaomo stopped talking, but opened it with the notebook that he had prepared a few days ago, and looked at it, it was too boring to ride in the carriage, let alone ride with a cold and little talker.
But this book is written by poor scholars who think about the rich lady, what kind of covenant was made under the moon before the moon! The rich lady is waiting for the poor scholar to come back and marry the high school champion! What else is the two eloping and finally united, it's okay to pass the time, but the themes are all the same, not new, you can only see which poor scholar's writing is better.
