Chapter 122: To Each His Own Heart
Three days later, Jian Wushuang appeared in front of Xie Shu, two days earlier than the previously agreed time.
Jian Wushuang came to Xie's mansion, and Xie Shu arranged an identity for him, Rulan's distant relative.
Despite this, with so many pairs of eyes watching the movement on the side of the big house, you always need to be cautious, Xie Shu instructed Rumei to take care of everything with silver money.
Moreover, after Jian Wushuang came to the Xie Mansion, Xie Shu did not arrange an important position for Jian Wushuang, that is, the guard of the outer courtyard of the Xie Mansion.
Those subordinates took the money and took the benefits, but all that appeared was a distant cousin of a maid, an insignificant person, and these people did not report the matter to the second room.
There are many people, even if someone secretly goes to tell the second room, it is just a small person for them, and it is not enough to worry about it at all.
Therefore, arranging such an inconspicuous position for Jian Wushuang did not encounter any obstacles at all, and Jian Wushuang stayed by Xie Shu's side in such an identity.
The outing of Zhuangzi outside the city came as scheduled.
Early in the morning, Zheng Ling, as the head of the house, prepared everything early.
The second room also sent someone to Feng Warm Pavilion early in the morning to inform Xie Shu that before leaving, they all went to ask Mrs. Xie for peace, and said goodbye before officially leaving.
In Huarong Courtyard, in the morning, the ladies of the Xie family gathered together, and Mrs. Xie sat at the top, and her old eyes glanced at several daughters of the Xie family in the hall.
Mrs. Xie's expression was not relaxed and natural, but there was no smile on her old face, telling these juniors of the Xie family that although they were going to Zhuangzi, the etiquette of the daughter's family was still reserved, and not to lose the face of the Xie family outside.
This time, the Zhuangzi of the Xie family's daughters went on an outing was different from the past.
In the past, every outing Zheng Ling would choose the Xie family Zhuangzi, which is not very far from Kyoto, so she didn't have to run too much, and if there was anything urgent, she could quickly rush back to Xiefu.
This outing was unusual, and I chose to return to Zhuangzi, which is very far away from Kyoto, and even some remote, and the head of the Xie family basically does not set foot in Zhuangzi on weekdays.
Although this Zhuangzi is far away from Kyoto compared with other Zhuangzi, the environment is very good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there is a peach blossom forest on the Zhuangzi, and you can enjoy the peach blossoms all over the mountain at this time.
I haven't been to appreciate it in previous years, but this year I went to appreciate it, and I no longer chose to go to the nearby Zhuangzi, why I went to this Zhuangzi, I don't know.
Xie Yu nodded his head again and again, and he felt that what Mrs. Xie said was very reasonable, and this expression was very useful in Mrs. Xie's eyes, and even the tone of her speech was not as serious as before.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Xie, the group was ready to set off.
Because this time I went to Zhuangzi, which is relatively secluded and remote, in order to ensure the safety of the Xie family's daughters, guards are also indispensable.
In front of the gate of the Xie family, Xie Shu stood at the door for a long time without moving, scanning the accompanying guards, and finally found Jian Wushuang hidden in the crowd.
Jian Wushuang was actually in the escort team this time, which was exactly what she wanted, and it also saved her the trouble of adding Jian Wushuang in.
Zheng Ling saw that Xie Shu had stood in front of the door for a long time and hadn't moved yet, and she didn't come to get into the carriage, so she was a little unhappy in her heart, and asked, "San'er, why haven't you come over to get into the carriage?"
Xie Shu had already seen Jian Wushuang in the midst of a pile of guards, so he didn't hesitate any longer, nodded and followed into the carriage.
Xie Yue and Xie Yu saw that Xie Shu deliberately grinded like this, and they felt a little more disgusted with her in their hearts.
"The third sister deliberately fell behind, did she want all of us to notice you......?
Speaking of which, he detoured to Xie Zhong's body again, and Xie Yue suddenly stopped talking, just because the temperature in the carriage suddenly dropped, which made people tremble.
Xie Yue felt this invisible coldness, and could no longer open his mouth to continue, Xie Yu on the side wanted to continue Xie Yue's words, but found that he couldn't open his mouth at all, and his heart trembled with cold.
Finally, everything was ready, and the daughters of the Xie family also sat in the carriage, Aunt Wang and Aunt Mei, as well as the eldest maids of each master, were in the two carriages behind.
Xie Yu didn't bother to talk to Xie Shu at all, but Xie Yue and Xie Shu didn't say a word, intermittently, and the content of the conversation was not followed by the next sentence.
It's just that these words are not simple words, these words are full of temptation, if Xie Shu leaks his mouth, Xie Yue will be able to find the reason for Xie Shu's personality to change dramatically.
It's just that everything didn't go as she thought, Xie Shu was talking to her, but that look, that tone was obviously prevaricating to her, and it was always light.
Xie Yue and Xie Yu did not show the look of anticipation as in the past on this outing, and Xie Shu did not have the yearning for the outing in the past.
In this carriage, Zheng Ling was the most interested, and it seemed that she was satisfied with the choice to go to this Zhuangzi, and she was always smiling.
From time to time, she told some jokes, talking about how they were a few children, and the most she talked about was Xie Shu's, it seemed that she attached the most importance to Xie Shu, and the most she knew was Xie Shu's things.
Zheng Ling's eyes were full of pity, and she looked at Xie Shu more pleasing to the eye and paid more attention to her own children than her own children.
If it was placed in the past, Xie Shu would have been grateful to this second aunt in her heart, it turns out that there are still people who care about themselves so much, and even remember their childhood events so clearly.
In the past, Xie Shu would definitely be very fond of this second aunt, the second aunt was always gentle as a spring breeze to her, she was very comfortable staying with this aunt, and Xie Shu was also very willing to stay with her.
However, in the eyes of Queen Xie, all this is just a villain who can act a little, deliberately putting on this fake appearance of benevolence and righteousness, everything is too contrived and fake.
This kind of woman, Xie Shu was played by such a woman in her last life, perhaps because of Xie Shu's dark years, Zheng Ling played the image of a loving mother in front of her, which made her too impressed, so that she was blinded by such people later, and she always trusted them, and was used by them until death.
Nowadays, this bit of acting skills and small means is not eye-catching at all compared with those conspiracies and tricks in the palace, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
Originally, the relationship between Xie Shu and the other two sisters of the Xie family was a little delicate, but with Zheng Ling's reconciliation along the way, it was obviously a little better than Xie Yue and Xie Yu's attitude towards Xie Shu before going out.
This trip is probably the farthest the Xie family has walked since the outing, from early morning to dusk, there is not much rest on the way, only at this moment to reach Linshui Valley, avoiding the night road.
