Chapter 013: Planning
Liu Chengshan broke his leg, the Hou Mansion was already in chaos, and in the evening, the carriage that had been prepared in the back alley quietly drove in the direction of the suburbs of Beijing.
"Why did the princess buy this Zhuangzi? Even if we leave in the future, we can go back to the General's Mansion. ”
Chunxiao followed Xia Yunxian's side for some reason, turned around the corridor, and saw that the huge warehouse in front of him was full of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and the belongings that should have been sent to Baifu were all here!
An injured man in cloth heard the footsteps and immediately stepped forward, "The princess, the inventory has been completed, except for the pair of night pearls, the rest are not missing." ”
However, Xia Yunxian casually put aside the list he handed over, and smiled lightly, "I am relieved that you are doing things." ”
The man's eyes flashed, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Doesn't the princess know that the villain was kicked out of the Hou Mansion......"
"So what?"
A few words made Li Guang's throat choke, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The princess believes in villains? ”
"Faith." I saw Xia Yunxian push a plate of silver in front of him, "I know that you are unwilling to go along with the steward, so he framed and drove you out of the Hou Mansion, you are old and young, and now you have nowhere to go, if you are willing to do things for me, this thousand taels is yours." ”
Xia Yunxian also knew that Li Guang had the ability to read the accounts, not only knew how to read accounts, but also had a shrewd mind and good martial arts.
In the previous life, because he was worried about the grace of the steward, he refused to fight back even if he was beaten by the group, and finally died of his injuries outside the house.
Obviously, his fate is different now.
Li Guang was stunned for a long time, and finally kowtowed heavily with red eyes, "The villain must go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will never live up to the reinvention of the princess!" ”
"Don't thank you too soon, there's a task for you right now."
I saw Xia Yunxian hand over a piece of prescription, "The medicinal materials on it, how much can you buy." There is also rice grain, which fills the entire Zhuangzi as much as possible. ”
Li Guang only glanced at it, it was understandable that the rice grain was in tun, after all, the price of grain would rise everywhere after winter, and he couldn't help asking, "Why does the princess want so many medicinal materials?" ”
Thinking of the tragic scenes she had seen with her own eyes, her eyes seemed to be a little deep, and she didn't hide it, "There will soon be an epidemic in the Tanglin Kingdom that will sweep through several cities. ”
What?!
Li Guang frowned, "The villain understands!" ”
He didn't ask much, he took the medicine and retreated, Xia Yunxian raised his eyebrows with satisfaction, whatever the master said, with such a person, worry-free.
……
On the way back, the thoughtful Xia Yunxian suddenly opened his mouth, "Change the route and go to the General's Mansion." ”
Chunxiao's face was overjoyed, although his master became decisive and sharp after escaping death, he always gave people a feeling of being preoccupied, and he was in a better mood when he returned to the General's Mansion today, right?
However, this little maid didn't understand, Xia Yunxian just didn't know what kind of face to set foot in the place where she was born and raised.
At that time, the emperor was furious and held accountable, and his father, General Xia, took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the battlefield in order to save the Hou Mansion from Zhulian, and finally died with the enemy army after several years, and never came back.
Since then, the Xia family has also begun to fall apart, isn't it all because of her?
She is a sinner of the Xia family, how can she pretend that nothing happened?
"Is the princess back?!" A surprised voice came from outside the carriage, Xia Yunxian's eyes flashed, and he finally came back to his senses.
I saw that the white-haired old housekeeper Xu Bo happily stepped forward, "Why don't you inform me in advance, the old slave won't let the young master go out!" ”
Looking at this familiar and vivid face, Xia Yunxian took a deep breath and said with a smile pretending to be nothing, "By the way, let's see if Yun Han is in trouble." ”
Xu Bo couldn't help but laugh, and led her all the way into the General's Mansion, and everything around made people feel like they were in a different world.
In the past, the Xia family looked full of vitality everywhere they went, but now that there is no old general, it is like losing the backbone of the main heart, and it is much colder.
A moment later, Uncle Xu had already prepared a table of Xia Yunxian's favorite pastries, and the old housekeeper stared at her tightly, as if he was afraid that it would not suit her appetite.
This scene made her remember all the things before she left the cabinet, and it was not easy to suppress the sourness.
"Uncle Xu, I heard that my father has sent back several letters from home, I want to see it."
At the mention of General Xia, Uncle Xu couldn't help but have red eyes, went to the study with sadness, and quickly took out the letters sent back from the border.
Xia Yunxian hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand.
Unexpectedly, after flipping through a few pages, her face suddenly changed, and Uncle Xu seemed to notice something, and quickly closed the doors and windows, "But the princess found something wrong?" ”
I saw Xia Yunxian throw one of the letters into the basin, and after a while, he actually pulled out a note from the mezzanine, as well as a small plant of hay.
Uncle Xu didn't expect that he had kept the family letter for so long, but there was something inside!
One glance at him was horrified.
"The tiger talisman has been stolen, run away!"
Xia Yunxian stared at the familiar handwriting on it, his body couldn't help shaking, and a terrible thought immediately came to his mind.
If such an important thing as the Tiger Talisman is stolen in the hands of the generals, it will be a great sin to exterminate the Nine Clans!
I heard that my father's last battle was in Songshan Ridge, where the climate was abnormal, and there were many rare plants and trees.
His death is not as simple as dying in battle......
"The old slave said that there is only one letter from home in January on weekdays, but in the month when the general had an accident, three letters came!" Uncle Xu was heartbroken, Xia Yunxian clutched the strange hay and forced himself to calm down, "What about Yun Han?" ”
"The young master seems to have gone to Fuyan Lane, and the old slave immediately sent someone to invite him back."
Fuyan Lane!
Who doesn't know that Fuyan Lane is the most famous place for fireworks in Beijing, and everyone only knows that Xia Yunhan, the son of the Xia family, was depressed after the sacrifice of the old general, so it is normal to linger in the flowers to seek solace.
But Xia Yunxian knows his brother, he doesn't like frivolous and vain women the most, and he will never let himself fall into the hypocritical and gentle township.
These family letters mentioned more than once that Xia Yunhan was asked to go to the Hou Mansion to find her.
The letter had a secret code that only their father and daughter knew, and if she had seen it, she would have discovered the secret in the mezzanine earlier!
But in fact, Yun Han did not set foot in the Hou Mansion once.
He must have done something for fear of being blamed by her, after all, in the past, with just one look, he could know that he was in trouble!
"No, I'll go myself!"
Xia Yunxian's eyes were cold, she hated why she didn't reborn when her father went on the expedition, but at least now, she could stop Xia Yunhan's tragedy!
She can't afford to lose her only loved one again, she wants to see why her brother was beaten to death in Fuyan Lane a year later!
