Chapter 37: Xiang Jia
"Second son, what is going on?"
Wanzhao clenched her sword and followed closely, she vaguely felt that Wen Jian's sudden visit had something to do with Bixiao, but it was not good to ask directly.
"Second brother, tell me first, what does Wanzhao know."
Wen Ye slowed down, his eyes dodged and turned his face away, Wen Jian understood the meaning of Wen Ye's words, and stopped and told the two of them about his experience during this time.
"The eldest brother met Xiang Nuxia in the rain on the night he returned to Beijing, and she was not lightly injured at that time, and it was difficult to deal with the recurrence of the old injury before, so I prescribed some wound medicine and sent it over. Yesterday, I heard from the people in the hospital that Xiang Zhai sent someone to prescribe some wound medicine two days ago, and I guess she was injured again, or maybe the knife wound last time was not healed. It's been almost two months, and the wound hasn't healed yet, and it must have cracked again, maybe it was still stained with water, and I was really anxious to die! ”
The more Wen Jian spoke, the more anxious she became, and she couldn't wait to immediately rush to the house to ask what was going on. Wanzhao knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told the story.
"She wasn't in Xiang's house, they went back to Xiang's house."
Wanzhao's words made Wen Jian breathe a sigh of relief, and Bixiao was relieved that she was safe, it turned out that she didn't mean to hide from herself, very good! Compared with Wen Jian's relaxed expression, Wen Ye, who was calm, became anxious.
"Prepare the car at night, get ready to go out of town!"
Wanzhao nodded and took the order, and immediately called Xiaochun to prepare the carriage for going out, and she turned back to the west courtyard to prepare the clothes for going out.
"When my brother arrives at the house, he is disappointed."
Mo Yan didn't know when he had walked in front of the two, and neither of them noticed it at all.
"Sister-in-law, I'm bothered!"
Wen Jian nodded and smiled, with white hair and indigo, jade crown and bundled hair, and a lofty atmosphere, people couldn't help but want to get close, if it wasn't for Bixiao's accident, he would definitely not get drunk with Mo Yan.
"Mo Lang came just in time! Did you tell you where to go when the sky was clear? ”
Mo Yan thought about it and shook his head, and naturally raised his hand to comb Wen Ye's hair, she was in a hurry just now, and her bun was a little loose.
"Thank you."
Wen Ye lowered his eyes, his face flushed, and Wen Jian scratched his head and pushed it aside. Although Wen Ye and Mo Yan are married, such an intimate act will still make her shy. The corners of Mo Yan's mouth curved, staring at her for a while, and he was really reluctant to let her go.
"I was in a hurry on that sunny day, and I only said that I would go for a few days, and going out of the city at night would not attract criticism."
Wen Ye frowned slightly, it was obvious that they didn't want to let themselves be involved, and they could say goodbye to Mo Yan when they left, but they didn't want to say a word to her.
"Zhou Lang, I'm going to Youzhou soon, please forgive me."
Wen Ye said goodbye to Mo Yan, she was quite reluctant in her heart, she was going to go out a few days after the two got married, it was impossible for her to be a lady of another family.
"Liangzhou Xiang's family has a high prestige in the rivers and lakes, and it can protect the people of Liangzhou City, Xiang Shanming, the head of the Xiang family, has some friendship with his father, if the third lady is willing, I will go with you."
Mo Yan took her hand and squeezed it twice as he spoke, his eyes full of anticipation. Wen Ye smiled and shook his head, if he went with him, wouldn't he know her relationship with the Xiang family, and then not only her life experience, but also the secret of the "Banshan Pavilion" might not be able to be kept.
"Bixiao and I are like sisters, I can't stand by and watch her have difficulties, I have accepted Mo Lang's wishes. But the little marquis is a relative of the emperor, and it is really not suitable to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, so I hope Molang is considerate. ”
If Mo Yan goes with him, he will inevitably be included in the Yushi Terrace, and Wen Ye will not be able to go out of the city as the third lady of the Wen family this time.
Mo Yan let go of his hand and took out a jade plaque from his sleeve and raised his hand to hand it to him. Wen Ye took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, there were only simple lines and a word "ink" on it.
"This is the jade plate of the Mo family, you carry it closely, the Tao is done, and the thing is true, you don't have to worry too much."
Mo Yan smiled faintly, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and he stroked his sleeves and left. Wen Ye clenched the jade plate, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable, and the secret in his heart almost blurted out.
"Third sister, are you okay?"
Wen Jian's words brought Wen Ye back to her senses, she turned around and carefully took the jade plate in her arms, and only turned around and said after making sure that it was correct.
"It's okay, let's go."
"Will you take me?"
Wen Ye nodded and agreed, Wen Jian knew Bixiao's injuries best, and the guards who had an accident at home would inevitably be injured, if he was by his side, he would have a good response.
Wen Jian was very pleased, and hurriedly beckoned his entourage to go to the medical hall to get some wound medicine, he made Wen Ye laugh like that, it seems that this journey will not be boring.
The old house of the Xiang family is in the north of Liangzhou City, the gray tile and red wall have two golden pillar gates, and the house is counted as the main courtyard after passing through the two gates, the clear sky is in front of the blue sky and the sky is in the back into the main courtyard, and the head of the Xiang family hurriedly came to bow and salute, leading the way to the ancestral hall of the side courtyard.
"The young master is back!"
"Thank God, it's really the young master!"
As soon as the clear sky entered the ancestral hall, it attracted greetings from his uncle, but when he saw Bixiao coming in behind, everyone's faces became ugly. After a moment of silence, a gray-haired old man walked out of the crowd with a staff on his staff. Qingtian hurriedly bent down and saluted, this old man is the older generation of the Xiang family, even if Xiang Shan Mingruo is present, he must be called "old man".
"You're back, it's really unfilial! Shan Ming has been sick for half a month, only the girl has come to take care of her, we thought ......"
Qingtian's face gradually became gloomy, he was the grandfather in the family, he tolerated it, but he couldn't bear to say that he could slander Bixiao.
"Why? Think something happened to me? ”
As soon as Qingtian's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and it seemed that their young master was not all knowledgeable, but his heart still seemed to be towards the blue sky. The uncle who has always been on the side of the family stepped forward, and the clear sky recognized him, and he often said that Bixiao was not in front of his father on weekdays.
"The young master hasn't returned to the old mansion for a long time, some things may not be known, there have been a lot of rumors about the eldest lady recently, I heard that ......"
Qingkong hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, and Bixiao didn't say a word along the way, just kept warning not to trust others, and when Xiang Shanming woke up, everything could be revealed. He believes in his father's personality, and he believes in Bixiao's sincerity to him all the time.
"You also know that it is a rumor, if someone spreads your rumor in the future, will I not have to check it to be true?"
The people in the ancestral hall talked about it, and the rumors really had no real evidence, and they couldn't say anything more. Just as the situation was turning, a man with a thin figure and a mouse-eyed look swaggered in.
"Xiang Qingtian, you are really ridiculous, you and her obviously have a mother-killing enmity, why do you make it so touching."
"Who is making a noise in the ancestral ancestral hall?"
The white-haired old man with the pillar staff was furious, and loudly reprimanded the visitors, not everyone can enter the ancestral hall of the Xiang family.
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, Xiang Shengrui!"
Qingkong smiled coldly, he knew that someone must be making trouble behind this matter, but he didn't expect it to be his cousin who was kicked out by his uncle a year ago.
"Li Shengrui, my uncle has already removed you from the family tree, and now that you have changed your mother's surname, what kind of face do you have to enter the family gate!"
Li Shengrui couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, since he was completely sure that he was here today, he would definitely make Xiangjia restless to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"I'm not Xiang family? Is she worthy? ”
Everyone looked at Bixiao where he was pointing, and the rumors convinced them again, and they all looked like they were watching the excitement. Li Shengrui was very satisfied, and leaned in front of Bixiao to continue to speak loudly.
"Look at the jade pendant on her waist, it was left to her by her mother, and it is engraved with her real birthday, she is simply the concubine born to Xiang Shanming's outer room!"
Bixiao lowered her eyes and stood in place, she was saying a lot of mistakes now, and she could only hope that the head of the family would wake up as soon as possible and tell the truth of the matter.
"Shan Ming is ridiculous!"
"What a fool!"
Everyone began to gossip, and Qing Tian clenched his fists, which was an unwarranted slander against his father and eldest sister.
"Li Shengrui, you are talking nonsense in the ancestral hall of the family today, what are your intentions?"
"Me, gibberish?"
Li Shengrui snorted coldly, and kept secretly cursing Qingtian in his heart, Qingkong has been called "the head of the family" by his subordinates since he was a child, and his food and clothing are also the best, even the domestic servants are the best-looking and the most powerful martial arts evening photos, why should he only use the leftovers from him! is also the grandson of the Xiang family, why is he superior everywhere, and after the crown ceremony, he will become the heir of the next head of the family, these peers don't even have a chance to compete, today he is going to lose everything to the clear sky, so that he will be miserable.
"Brothers, bring the maid and midwife who delivered the wife of the housekeeper back then."
As soon as the words fell, the two sons of the Xiang family side branch took a woman who was almost forty years old and a grandmother who was in her fifties into the ancestral hall. Mama fell to her knees and kowtowed three times to the spiritual seat in front of the hall, and the woman on the side also kowtowed three times, helped Mama up and said.
It was true that Madame had given birth to only one baby boy that day, not twins. Young master, the reason why the head of the family did this is also a last resort, don't blame them, the head of the family has never failed Madame. ”
"Yes, the lord treats the lady very well."
After Mama finished speaking, she trembled and took out a red belly pocket worn by a doll from her arms, on which was a picture of a flying crane embroidered for him by Clear Sky's mother, and every stitch and thread was full of deep love for Clear Sky.
Out of the crowd came out of the three clan ladies who were good with Mrs. Xiang back then, they took their belly pockets and carefully identified them, and nodded their heads that this embroidery was sewn by Mrs. Xiang herself, and the stitches and embroidery threads could not be wrong.
"Harmony and love, this is exactly what your mother loves and expects from you. Clear sky, you have to believe in your father's belief in the blue sky. ”
The one-year-old woman put the small belly pocket in the hands of the sunny sky, they and the sunny sky's mother are the daughters of the Qiongzhou businessman married to the Xiang family, the four of them have a good personal relationship on weekdays, but unfortunately the sunny sky's mother died in childbirth, leaving a young child is sad. Since then, the other three have been particularly sorry for the clear sky, and they have been somewhat relieved to see him grow up and become a talent, but they didn't expect to bring up the old things again today, no matter what the truth is, he is the most uncomfortable one in his heart.
