Chapter 141: Running away from home
The county lord of Qingjiang is the eldest daughter of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and when this happens, the three younger brothers and daughters-in-law dare not slack off, including Princess Changxing, all got up and left their seats, and even pleaded guilty.
"What is the crime of pleading with me?" The county lord of Qingjiang was dissatisfied, "It's serious to send someone to call your husband over!" I don't care if they want to snub others, how can the fifth sister's face not be given!? β
Originally, Nie Wuying's life experience was criticized, if her brothers and sisters swept her face, who else could afford her in the future?
Song Yixiao and the others also understood this truth, although they knew that their husbands were indeed very busy during this time, but under the pressure of the county lord of Qingjiang, they still sent someone to spread the word according to their words - but after they received the news, no one could guarantee whether they would come over.
Half an hour later, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom arrived, and when she saw the strange atmosphere in the hall, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Why don't you speak?" After he sat down, he was exempted from everyone's salute and found, "Where is Sakura?" β
"The fifth sister has something to do and leave for the time being." The county lord of Qingjiang said calmly, "The younger brothers have something to do today, and they may come later." β
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was not happy when she heard this: "What nonsense, it's the end of the year, what kind of urgent official business can there be, and you have to deal with it today?" Send someone to find them, and tell them to come at once! β
Bai Shi hurriedly smiled: "If you go back to your mother, you have already sent someone to urge you!" β
"What's the matter with this beaded flower on An Yi's head?" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom softened her expression at this time, and when she saw the huge beaded flowers on Dou Anyi's head, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Who gave it to you?" β
"It was my granddaughter who picked it herself." Dou Anyi ran over and asked expectantly, "Grandmother, is it good-looking?" β
The eldest princess looked at the bejeweled and graceful peony, and then looked at her granddaughter who had a childish face and her eyebrows and eyes had not grown, and the corners of her mouth were pulled down fiercely, and she said seriously: "Very good-looking!" β
Bai Shi and the others at the bottom saw this scene clearly, and they turned their heads one after another, and couldn't help laughing!
With Dou Anyi, the hall finally resumed its liveliness.
It's just that I haven't waited for Dou Rouchi and the others to arrive for a long time, and even Nie Wuying hasn't come back, the county lord of Qingjiang couldn't help frowning, and looked for an opportunity to say: "Mother, I haven't been here with you for a long time, I want to go out for a walk, you can talk to your brothers and sisters first!" β
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom knew her purpose, and she didn't pierce it, and said, "You go." β
Song Yi hesitated with a smile, got up and said, "Mother, daughter-in-law goes out for a walk with the eldest sister?" β
After the eldest princess bowed her head, the two of them went out one after the other, and after walking through a corridor, the county lord of Qingjiang stood still, and when she arrived, she whispered: "The fifth sister is as careful as a hair, Ah Xu really shouldn't come!" β
Song Yi smiled and said embarrassedly: "Yes." But he's really busy. β
"No matter how busy you are, don't let down your family!" The county lord of Qingjiang sighed with emotion, "Otherwise, there will always be a time to regret it!" β
Song Yi smiled and blushed, and even claimed that it was.
Then the county lord didn't say anything, and led her to the place where Nie Wuying livedβthis was a spacious but not lost building on the southeast corner of the eldest princess's mansion. The exquisite courtyard, open the door is the unobstructed lotus pond, the revetment by the pond also built a small trestle bridge, the head of the bridge is tied to a flat boat, the body of the boat is carved with flowers and grass, inlaid with beads and jade, obviously for Nie Wuying to swim in the lake in his leisure time.
After entering, in the dusty courtyard that was cleaned, there were many lifelike silk flowers tied on a few bare ancient trees, which should have been specially arranged to celebrate Nie Wuying's birthday today.
Under one of the ancient trees, a swing is set up, which gently sways with the north wind.
"Is the fifth sister here?" The county lord of Qingjiang glanced at the swing and asked in a loud voice.
"Who?" When the people inside heard it, they hurriedly opened the door and came out, but it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid, holding a lion cat with dark clouds and snow in her arms, seeing the county lord of Qingjiang and Song Yi laughing, she hurriedly put the cat on the ground, and was blessed, "Back to the county lord and Mrs.: Miss got up early and went to the back hall!" β
"Didn't she come back?" The county lord of Qingjiang was stunned when he heard this.
The maid was shocked: "The county lord is saying that the young lady is not in the back hall now?" But I didn't go back here! β
"Will it go somewhere else?" Song Yi smiled and hurriedly asked, "I remember that the fifth sister likes plum blossoms, where is there plum blossoms in this house?" "This season, only the plum blossoms.
The maid said, "There are several places in the gardenβbut the young lady has never liked to visit the garden!" β
The county lord of Qingjiang frowned, and smiled at Song Yi: "Let's go to the garden and have a look!" Maybe she's going to take a break today? β
The two hurried to the gate of the garden, and asked the mother-in-law who came to see the garden, but said that they didn't see Nie Wuying. Afraid that the mother-in-law would be lazy and miss it, they deliberately went in and took a turn to confirm that Nie Wuying was indeed not there, and then said, "I may have gone back." β
But when they returned to the back hall, they saw that although the three brothers Dou Rouchi, Jian Yiyu and Jian Xubai had all come over, there was still no Nie Wuying in the hall!
"Not in the Pearl Garden, not in the garden?" When the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom saw that only the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law came back, she was anxious, and she didn't care about whitewashing the peace, so she asked anxiously, "What about other places?" Have you looked for it? β
Seeing the county lord of Qingjiang and Song Yi shaking their heads with a smile, their faces suddenly sank, and they slapped the case left and right, "Go and find it!" β
Seeing this situation, Dou Rouchi and the three of them were very embarrassed, and they all got up and said: "This is all the fault of the children, the children should also go to find it, right?" β
"Then hurry up!" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom rarely made a face to her sons, and said coldly, "It's so cold, your sister is a girl, and she is young, what if you hide in a corner and freeze out?!" β
In this way, the eldest princess's mansion couldn't care about the banquet that was about to start for a while, and they were all mobilized to find Nie Wuying.
Who would have thought that a group of people had almost turned over the backyard and there was no sign of this girl.
In the end, it was a mother-in-law at the second gate who came to say: "Miss Fang Cai is out!" β
"Out?" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was surprised, "She is on her birthday today, let's all wait to celebrate her, what is she going out for?" Where did it go? β
The mother-in-law was afraid of being held responsible, so she trembled and said, "The old slave also asked, but the fifth lady ignored it." Wanxiang, the maid who followed Miss Five, gave the old slave a hard look, and asked the old slave not to talk too much...... The old slave didn't dare to ask! β
"It's winter, and a girl who is only twelve years old is going out, and you don't dare to ask, so you don't know how to come to the palace to reply here?!" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was so angry that she was furious, "She went out so quietly alone, and she only brought an evening fragrance, what should she do if she falls in the cold?" What should I do if I meet a bad guy?! Bastard thing, tell you to watch the door, that's how you see it?! Come on, drag it down with the palace, and hand it over to Xue Changshi for disposal! β
After the woman was taken away crying, the hall was still silent, and everyone lowered their eyebrows and didn't dare to come out of the air.
Rao is so, and the eldest princess has not forgotten them: "I have good children! Just such a sister, I'm still alive! Just don't take it to heart! No wonder she wants to go, I want to go now! so as not to obscure your eyes. β
When these words come out, where can the people stand? They knelt down and pleaded guilty.
The eldest princess sneered and said, "What are you doing now in this filial piety?" If you think of a little bit of brotherhood, you will make your sister so angry that she runs away from home on her birthday?! β
In particular, he pointed to Jian Xubai, "On your birthday six years ago, you also thought you were left out in the cold!" I hid in the silk shop for most of the day - later, your third uncle said that he coaxed you back, and you were still wronged! How would you be in that mood?! I have suffered, but I don't know how to sympathize with my sister! How could I have such a cool son as you! β
Song Yixiao's heart was shocked when she heard this, she quietly raised her head, and looked at her husband - because she knelt behind Jian Xubai, she couldn't see his expression, only to catch a glimpse of his hand on his lap suddenly clenched, and the back of his hand, which was originally as white as jade, suddenly raised several green tendons, obviously very excited.
"It's not just Jian Xubai who didn't plan to come today!" She saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but secretly hold grievances for him, "Mother-in-law is too partial to expose her youngest son's scars!" β
This slander continued, but the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom scolded Dou Rouchi and Jian Yiyu again: "Six years ago, it was Ah Xu, and now it is Ying'er, that's how you did it, brother?" It's good to see your younger brother and sister, right?! How many sins did I do in my previous life to raise something like you who have no conscience? I knew I really shouldn't have lived until now, and I had to worry about dying sooner! β
The county lord of Qingjiang hurriedly said: "Please calm your anger......
"Your eldest sister is also stupid!" Before she could speak, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom pointed the finger at her, and shouted angrily, "Fang Cai Ying'er said that she was going out, since you are here, you should follow her immediately!" You don't want to think about how old this kid is? was wronged and ran out alone, and there was no one to coax her! Can she not think about it? Her sisters-in-law don't chase them out, it's just their sister-in-law, and your sister is sitting still! Make her so heartbroken that she runs out of ......"
Speaking of this, everyone's faces turned white at the same time!
The eldest princess gasped and muttered, "That kid shouldn't really ......?"
Now the eldest princess can't care about scolding her children, so she quickly ordered someone to go out of the house to find someone!
The county lord of Qingjiang and the others hurriedly said: "The imperial capital is so big, my sister has been out for some time, I am afraid that there are not enough people in Shan Niang's mansion, let's go back to the mansion to mobilize manpower, maybe we can find my sister soon!" β
"Then don't go yet!" The eldest princess whimpered, "Sakura has to have three long and two short, don't recognize me as a mother in the future!" I can't even protect a 'righteous girl', what face is called a mother?! β
When she threw out these words, how could she dare to slack off?
Jian Xubai and the others hurriedly took out the tokens they had with them, ordered their henchmen and guards to rush back to the mansion to mobilize manpower to search for Nie Wuying, and personally took the remaining entourage to start searching in the streets and alleys near the eldest princess's mansion.
On this day, everyone didn't even care about lunch, until they found Shen Shi, seeing that the sun was about to set, and the news fed back from all sides was still fruitless - the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, who was sitting in the eldest princess's mansion, heard the news, only felt that it was dark in front of her, and grabbed Jia Yue's arm to stabilize her body: "Could that child really ......?"
It's not just the eldest princess who will be looking for Nie Wuying, after all, so many people are looking for people everywhere, and those high-ranking families in the imperial capital are not blind and deaf, I heard that the eldest princess's "righteous daughter" ran away in a negative mood, how could she not take a hand?
In addition to the forbidden army guarding the city, almost all up and down are now helping to find it, so they can't find it, which is obviously not a good sign!
Jia Yue also suspected that Nie Wuying might have had an accident, but she didn't dare to say this to the eldest princess: "Maybe Miss Fifth met a good person, but she didn't know that you were looking for her for a while, and her anger didn't subside, so she didn't come back?" β
Although the eldest princess also hoped for this, she knew that Jia Yue was just comforting herself, and she couldn't help crying: "I knew that I would listen to the persuasion of my mother back then, send her to Jiangnan to find someone to adopt, and then recognize her as a righteous daughter when she grows up...... I thought I could take better care of her by my side, but who knows......"
Jia Yue hurriedly wiped her tears, tears also fell from her eyes, and whimpered: "Your Highness, don't be like this, no news is good news now, maybe there will be good news in the next moment?" β
- This was really said by her: before her words fell, a fierce footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and then the door was pushed open forcefully, Song Yixiao had fluffy sideburns, slightly slanted clothes, and a skirt in her hand, and couldn't wait to report the good news before the ceremony was finished after entering the door: "Mother, Miss Six and Miss Seven of the Su family sent someone to report, and the fifth sister is now there with them, unscathed and safe!" β
