Chapter 324: Departure
Huo Jiang couldn't help but say behind Xie Honglin's back: "Miss Xie, can you let me meet Mr. Xie?" β
Xie Honglin turned around, her face was no longer lonely, but a look of curiosity, she blinked a pair of clear big eyes, and asked: "By the way, you haven't been to Qin Pavilion these days, my father doesn't see guests in these days every month, just accompanying my mother, you want to see my father, is there something wrong?" β
I see.
Huo Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why Mr. Xie didn't call him over was not because he was sick, but because of his old rules.
"I have been disturbing the house for many days, and I miss my father and younger siblings at home......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Honglin: "You want to leave?" That's not good, you haven't told me about Kannai yet. β
Xie Honglin is a little domineering and a little childish.
Huo Jiang didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "If Miss Xie can say a few kind words in front of Mr. Xie on my behalf and let me go home to reunite with my relatives as soon as possible, I know what Miss Xie wants to know." β
"Really?" Xie Honglin raised her chin and looked at him with a smile. Although she was smiling, Huo Jiang felt that Xie Honglin seemed to have an indescribable temperament, especially when she raised her chin to look at people, it was the pride of looking down on all beings, but this temperament was not ostentatious on her, but just right.
For many years afterward, Huo Jiang remembered Xie Honglin's expression.
It wasn't until recently that he saw the exact same look on the face of another little girl......
"Of course it's true, a gentleman's word, it's hard to chase a horse, Miss Xie wants to know something, and she can't say anything in the next word." Huo Jiang said, although Xie Honglin is willful, she is very naΓ―ve, if she can be asked to talk to Mr. Xie, there should be no problem, besides, he was brought by Xie Honglin.
"Hmm...... Let me think about it, by the way, I heard that the branches of the willow trees in the Kannai are very long, longer than a human hair, and can hang down into the water, is this really the case? Xie Honglin asked, her eyes were black and white, and she was full of light.
"It's a weeping willow, and unlike the willow species planted outside the Kanwai, the weeping willow branches are very thin and long, and they are soft and ...... with the flying."
It was a rare sunny day in winter, the sky was blue and the sun was warm.
The next day, Fu Bo came to invite Huo Jiang to Qin Pavilion.
Mr. Xie was very happy, asked Huo Jiang about the situation at home, and said apologetically: "It was my negligence, I was fortunate enough to meet a talented little friend, so I only cared about chatting with you, but I forgot that you are also a traveler away from home, when do you want to leave, I asked Fu Bo to prepare." β
Huo Jiang was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect that the matter that he had been troubled for many days would be solved so smoothly, he quickly got up and thanked him, and said: "The younger generation has been out for a long time, and I am afraid that my father will be worried, so I want to leave in these two days." β
Mr. Xie turned the chair under him, walked to the bookshelf, took out a yellow calendar, flipped through it, and said, "The day after tomorrow is a good day for Yi to travel, when you go out, call Fu Bo for me, I have something to explain to him." β
Huo Jiang left the Qin Pavilion and wanted to tell Xie Chan the good news, but he had no choice but to go around the Zhuangzi and didn't see Xie Chan, so he couldn't break into the back house.
He returned to the small courtyard where he lived with regret, but saw that Xie Honglin was already waiting for him with two maids.
"Has my dad already agreed?" Xie Honglin asked.
Huo Jiang's brows moved, men and women did not kiss, Xie Honglin actually ran to his courtyard, he had no choice but to say: "Thanks to Miss Xie's kind words, Ling Zun has agreed, and I will leave the day after tomorrow." β
Xie Honglin said: "When you go back to Guanwai, can you help me do something?" β
"Miss Xie, please speak." Huo Jiang said.
Xie Honglin took out a purse and said to Huo Jiang: "I heard that there is a Yongji Temple in the capital, and the Bodhisattva there is very effective, but I can't go over in person, so I wrote down what I wanted to say to the Bodhisattva on paper and put it in this purse, can you give this purse to the great monk in the temple for me, and ask him to burn the purse in front of the Bodhisattva, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my father and my mother with good health." β
I see.
Huo Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, just now he was still a little worried that Xie Honglin would let him help do something embarrassing, but it was just such a trivial matter.
He said: "I have heard of Yongji Temple, but I have never been there, but I can fulfill my wish for the young lady." β
"Really? Great, I just don't know if the Bodhisattva will be unhappy if he makes a wish like this, his old man won't think I'm not dignified enough, please say to the Bodhisattva for me, it's not that I don't want to go over in person, I have no choice. Xie Honglin chattered endlessly, as if she was very distressed, but in Huo Jiang's opinion, it was just a child's childish words.
Belief is there is something about gods and ghosts, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it, so why care so much.
But now he doesn't want to offend Xie Honglin, Xie Honglin can let him stay if he says a word, and let him go if he says another word, his life is in the palm of someone's hand.
"No, Miss Xie is asking for your parents, and the Bodhisattva will not blame you for your filial piety." Huo Jiang said stiffly.
"Really? This is what Cousin Chan taught me, I don't understand, as long as the Bodhisattva is not angry, if he is angry, then blame me, don't blame my father and my mother, I am young and strong, and I can get better soon when I am sick. Xie Honglin smiled as she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, like a child who didn't grow up.
Hearing her mention Xie Chan, Huo Jiang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Xie ...... Didn't Miss Cousin come with you? β
Xie Honglin said: "My mother asked me to make a pair of socks for my cousin, I was too lazy to do it, Cousin Chan said that she would do it for me, and now she is making socks for my cousin, where can I have time to accompany me." β
I don't know why, Huo Jiang suddenly felt that a fire was surging, he wanted to scold Xie Honglin a few words, Xie Chan is not your girl, why do you want her to do things for you?
But he was a little envious of Gao Hui, this kid was just a bandit, and he was lucky enough to be able to wear the socks made by Xie Chan himself.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to leave, early in the morning, he went to Mr. Xie to say goodbye, Mr. Xie was a little reluctant in his eyes, and said to him: "I am a person who escapes the world, with a dilapidated body, and his wife and daughter live in seclusion here, speaking of which, I only have you a little friend, you go, maybe we will not see each other again, this inkstone is an ancestral thing, you take it to play." β
As he spoke, he pushed the brocade box in front of him forward, Huo Jiang hurriedly thanked him, Mr. Xie didn't say anything more, and asked Fu Bo to send him away.
Walking out of the piece of Merlin, Huo Jiang knew that Mr. Xie had sent seven or eight people to escort him.
These people are all young and strong rough men, and they look like they are full of martial arts.
Fu Bo asked people to put a lot of things on the climbing plow, and said to Huo Jiang: "I will send you out of the mountain, and after you go out of the mountain, you will follow them to find the dart bureau and let the dart bureau escort you out of the customs." The money and the things used for the road are here. β
It turned out that this was what Mr. Xie asked Fubo to prepare.
The group left Zhuangzi and walked for about twenty miles, suddenly, a group of people flashed in front of them, about thirty or forty people at the end, Huo Jiang was startled, only to see the sword flashing, reflected on the snow, cold and cold.
