Chapter 61: Zhu Tian is back
Wang lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Chen Xuanyi sighed and said, "Is Madam worried about something?" ”
"Hmm." Wang nodded, bit his lip lightly, and said: "It's not that I don't want to send Nannan away, it's just that if Nannan is sent away, but there is no flood in Sicheng, the imperial court can follow this clue to find out that it is evidence that I am agitating."
In the past two days, many famous families and traders have sent their children out of Sicheng, and they have worked hard to avoid the flood. If it really didn't happen, and let them know that we deliberately released the news, I'm afraid that good intentions may not be rewarded. They must have poured all their anger on us, and they will be at a loss for words. ”
After listening to Wang's words, Chen Xuanyi did not squeak, but sat on the side, "Da!" Click! "Smoking a dry cigarette.
Wang lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and walked in front of him, and said, "A month ago, Mrs. Ling of Lingcheng County sent a letter to marry his daughter to Xiao Nian, so Nian'er has a legitimate reason to go to Lingcheng. ”
The county commander lowered his head, took a sharp puff of cigarette, and suddenly coughed violently.
Wang quickly patted his hand lightly a few times and continued: "There is no need for this, the flood may not come, and our family can get together again soon." ”
As I stood aside, I could clearly see tears glistening in Wang's eyes. This woman is somewhat patriarchal, but she is also a mother, how could she not let her daughter go if she could.
I think in her heart that the chances of disaster coming were very small, or how could she have given up her daughter for the slightest concern.
The scene in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a carriage slowly drove out of Sicheng.
Xiao Nian's eyes were red from crying, and he didn't understand why he went to his grandmother's house and didn't bring his sister with him.
Mother Wu patted Chen Nian gently and said, "Don't cry, young master, let's just go to Lingcheng to play for two days, and then look for my sister when we come back, okay?" ”
"Not good!" Xiao Nian broke Wu's mother's hand hard, and tears flowed down again.
Mother Wu moved her hand away in embarrassment and continued: "Lingcheng is rich in strange stones, and most of them are chime stones with pure sound quality. I like strange things the most. When we go to Lingcheng and find a stone that emits a beautiful melody for Nannan, when we come back, Nannan will be happy. ”
Xiao Nian listened to Mama Wu's description, and was extremely distracted, and laughed inexplicably.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and the coachman who was driving the carriage in front opened the curtain to reveal a head, and said, "Mother Wu, there is a person in front who calls himself Mr. Xie Ze who stopped the carriage and said that he wanted to see you and the young master." ”
Mother Wu nodded and helped Xiao Nian out of the carriage.
Standing outside the carriage was Xie Ze, dressed in a cyan robe with a whitish braid wrapped around his neck.
"Does Xiao Nian remember me? We've seen it. Xie Ze bent over and said with a smile.
Chen Nian's eyes lit up, revealing a surprised expression, and said, "It turns out that you are the old uncle who saved us in the eighteenth year of Kangxi." ”
"Haha, I didn't expect the little ghost to have a good memory." Xie Ze was extremely happy when he heard Xiao Nianji's self, with a smile in his eyebrows and eyes.
Mother Wu didn't show much surprise, she carefully looked at the person standing in front of her, and said slowly after a while: "Is there anything wrong with the old gentleman?" ”
Xie Ze suppressed his smile, made a gesture of invitation and said to Wu's mother: "Delay you a little time, I have two words I want to say to you alone." ”
Wu's mother hesitated for a while, and then withdrew her step.
Xie Ze looked at Mother Wu with a smile on his face and did not speak. Finally, Mother Wu made up her mind and walked in the direction of Xie Ze's finger.
Only five or six steps away from the carriage, Wu's mother turned back frequently, worried about Xiao Nian.
Xie Ze shook his head and said to Mother Wu: "You are taking Xiao Nian to Lingcheng!" ”
"Yes!"
"It seems that Mrs. County Commander still believes in my prophecy."
"What does the gentleman want to say? Let's get it straight! ”
Xie Ze was stunned for a moment, kept turning the Buddha beads in his hand and said, "If Sicheng is fine, you will go back with Xiao Nian." If Sicheng is flooded, whether the Lingcheng royal family will take you in must know best. ”
"Well, I know that if Si County is really flooded, with my understanding of the Wang family, they will definitely stand by and watch."
Xie Ze nodded and said, "That's right, if Sicheng really dies, please bring this child to me, this is my temporary residence." ”
While speaking, Xie Ze took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Wu's mother.
Mother Wu hesitated for a while, but still took it. Her eyes were fixed on the words on it, and Xie Ze brushed his sleeves away without paying attention.
The carriage swayed again, and Xiao Nian slowly fell asleep on Wu's mother.
"Qiu Ci, wake up." Xiao Pan's voice came.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that his dark circles were very heavy, and he didn't seem to have slept well: "Xiao Pan, did you steal someone last night?" Why do you still have dark circles? ”
Xiao Pan stared at me angrily and said, "You are embarrassed to say that your snoring yesterday was shocking, crying ghosts and gods." I have to be able to sleep if I want to! ”
I looked around embarrassedly, and just wanted to say sorry, but I heard Xiao Pan continue: "Hurry up, Zhu Tian came back this morning, Ling Hao asked us to go over and have a look!" ”
What the?! Zhu Tian is back. My eyes widened, "You mean she came back this morning?" ”
"yes, I wonder where she went last night, why didn't she come back all night."
Getting out of the tent, Xiao Pan and I walked to where Linghao lived.
On a flat grass outside the tent, Ling Hao and Zhu Tian were surrounded by them.
Xiao Pan poked me violently, and then put it in my ear and said, "It's a little strange why I look at Zhu Tian!" ”
Yes, I can see that Zhu Tian's face is pale now, and there is no blood. My hair was wet and dripping with water.
Every move feels particularly stiff, like a puppet being manipulated by someone else.
On the grass, people were chattering and asking where Zhu Tian went yesterday.
Ling Hao's expression was calm, and he subconsciously held Zhu Tian's hand: "It's good that people are safe and sound, you are right!" ”
"Yes!" Immediately, two or three boys chimed in.
I forcibly squeezed in, didn't speak, and looked at Zhu Tian quietly.
Zhu Tian is still the same as when she left yesterday, but her face is too bad, maybe I think too much.
Suddenly, I noticed that Zhu Tian's jeans seemed to have a small piece of aquatic grass stuck to it. My heart shuddered, and I focused my gaze on her hair.
Girls have longer hair and are most susceptible to something, and sure enough, I saw a yellow reed on a strand of hair in her left ear.
"Did you go to the pond yesterday?" I asked casually.
Zhu Tian paused, turned around like a robot, and said word by word: "I~didn't~ have~go~"
