Chapter 46: I'll go down with you.
"Okay," Xiao Mingchen nodded, "Ah Feng, I beg you to accompany me to your house."
"You..." Xia Feng was speechless, "Your method of seeking people is a novelty."
Xiao Mingchen laughed, his eyes slightly bent: "Listen to Qian Shan, you originally meant to return to Huaiyuan, not with me?" "
Qianshan? Xia Feng grinded his teeth, and suddenly wanted to marry her to Yu Handan, and the province had nothing to do all day.
She put the cleaned long sword into its sheath: "Let's go back together, Huaiyuan's fine work has not been dealt with, I don't worry about you going by yourself."
"I remember you said that at the same time that you and I were assassinated in Taiyuan before, Xia Guogong was assassinated in Huaiyuan, and Hosaku has never been caught?" Xiao Mingchen's face became solemn.
They almost let Chen Xian serve a pot in Taiyuan, and caused Xiao Mingchen to fall into the hands of Lu Nongzhuo.
Chen Xian has been lurking for several years, hiding extremely deeply, since he has some contact with Huaiyuan's fine work, then it is very likely that this nail of Huaiyuan was hidden in Huaiyuan many years ago like him.
"Hosaku didn't move after that assassination, I guessed, but I couldn't figure it out. Xia Feng frowned, "I suspect that in the Guogong Mansion, Nai Man has other intentions for you, and you must be careful."
"Well, don't worry. Xiao Mingchen's arm on his shoulder tightened slightly, and he chuckled: "A Feng, can you tell me about your home?" Besides Xia Guogong, what other elders of the same clan?
"No, the Xia family's blood is thin, and the relatives and elders are my father, you can fool him." Xia Feng grabbed his wrist and pulled it hard to his chest, making a posture where the two hugged.
"My mother died early, I didn't have a deep impression of her, I heard that she was very dashing when she was on the battlefield. My dad hasn't continued over the years, but there are a lot of girls in the house, and you don't have to deal with them.
Xiao Mingchen obediently hugged her: "What about my cousin, don't you move?"
"My mother was born in the Yuan Wei family, but she is free-spirited by nature, does not adhere to rules and etiquette, and is not tolerated by her family. I heard that her husband had already been decided upon, and my father forced my grandfather to break the old contract with his identity as the northwest manager, so that his mother could marry him, and I heard that it was very unpleasant at that time.
Xia Feng smiled: "After they became married, my mother and my father went to the northern line, and Huaiyuan didn't return much, let alone move around."
"Unexpectedly, Xia Guogong was so eclectic when he was young. Xiao Mingchen said.
"Yes, he knew that my mother was not willing to be trapped in the inner mansion, so he taught my mother kung fu and took my mother to the battlefield, and he fulfilled my mother." Xia Feng pulled him to sit down, "After they became married for many years, they have never had children, and the Wei family doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and they actually forced a daughter to my father." It's Aunt Wei, and she dots up and down my house, you may have seen it. "
Spring is almost over, but there is still a charcoal fire in the tent, and Xiao Mingchen is so warm that he is drowsy. Late at night, he yawned lazily and asked casually: "Well, it seems to have seen her, she and your mother are sisters?"
"That's right, it seems to be a sister. In the first few years when my mother first went, the old lady of the Wei family made a fuss about asking my father to straighten her, but my father did not agree, and even the entire Wei family did not welcome her. Xia Feng said and began to think nonchalantly, shaking the person behind him: "If I die one day, will you marry the woman?" "
No," Xiao Mingchen fought his eyelids up and down sleepily, muttering in confusion, "I'll go down and accompany you." "
Recently, people from the family often come to visit, and the gate of the original cold and deserted Guogong Mansion is very lively, which annoys Xia Guogong who does not want to open in the first place.
Even though he knew his daughter's nature and trusted His Royal Highness King Ning as a person, he clearly knew that this was just a plan between the two, but he still felt irritated.
He fights cocks and walks dogs every day, drinks and seeks pleasure, reminisces about old friends every day when he is drunk, wakes up and continues to have fun, and does not care about the rest of the trivial matters.
But since Xia Feng entered Beijing last year and rescued His Royal Highness King Ning, Xia Yi's good days have directly ended.
His Royal Highness King Ning is worthy of being deeply expected by everyone, and wherever he goes, there is no peace, and where there is him, there will be chaos. Now that this person is bent on hooking up with his daughter, Xia Yi felt that this matter could not be achieved after some thought.
When he was old, his authority was handed over to his daughter, and he knew that his old bones were useless, and if he managed more, he would cause chaos to Xia Feng. But things are looking for him one by one, which is simply unbearable.
Xiao Mingchen looked at the smile under Xia Guogong's eyes, and his intuition cold rose from the soles of his feet, and his face became more and more sincere: "The junior has recently helped A Feng deal with some trivial matters in the army, but I didn't expect to bother you, it's really a sin." "It's
okay, the minister has nothing to do, just send a handsome." The northwest officials are chaotic, it is estimated that it is difficult to handle, and it is hard for His Highness. Xia Yi shook his beard and looked at him carefully, from the hair strands to the sole plate, he didn't let go of everything, and it was a pity in his heart.
His Royal Highness King Ning's appearance and temperament are simply an excellent candidate for a son-in-law, but it is a pity that such a person has to shoulder Jiangshan.
"The junior heard that you have recently studied a lot of fine wines, and brought you two altars of Qingzhou autumn dew, and then handed them over to the butler. Xiao Mingchen chuckled, "Autumn dew white is not as strong as Northwest wine, and it is famous for its purest and sweet taste, I hope you don't dislike it." As
soon as Xia Yi heard the good wine, he temporarily threw aside the matter of the son-in-law who came to the door, and pulled him up excitedly: "How come, how can it be?" Your Highness, it's not time for dinner at this time, how much have you felt about the black and white chess game these days, how about accompanying me to two games? This makes people warm the wine.
For the first time, Xiao Mingchen heard someone playing chess and asking for wine, but he didn't show half a surprise, and said, "Well, it's rare that you are interested." Xia
Feng determined that the two people would get along peacefully after meeting, the father did not scold people and did not take a knife, and His Royal Highness King Ning smiled and was at ease. So he stopped paying attention to them and went straight to the backyard to find Aunt Wei.
Qian Shan said that she was a poor person, and this was indeed true.
When Aunt Wei was young, she was sent to the Guogong Mansion by her vain parents, and her eldest sister had no time to take care of her, and her husband did not wait to see her. I finally survived until my eldest sister went, thinking that I would finally usher in the day of emergence, but the result was that my mother's family was directly yellow.
After the death of Madame Guogong, Xia Feng directly followed the old Duke Guogong to the northern camp. Unlike ordinary children since childhood, she hardly needed to be taken care of, but she felt that the maid was very annoying.
Xia Feng did not return to the house except for the New Year festival, and occasionally came back and did not like the back house, so she had almost no contact with this Wei girl.
Aunt Wei's yard is unpretentious, quite cold, and it is very different from those Yingying Yanyan who are dancing with teeth and claws in the mansion.
Xia Feng walked to the front of the main room and stood still, waiting for the next person to report. Having lived in a mansion for more than ten years, this was the first time she had entered Aunt Wei's courtyard.
"The eldest lady is here, why don't you let people know in advance, I can come out to welcome you." "Aunt Wei was dressed in a pale ochre wide-sleeved placket, covered with a wider pant, which made her look thin and yellow.
As soon as she saw Xia Feng, her languishing face became a little more radiant, and she stepped forward with concern and took her hands: "Come in, although it is spring, the sky is still very cold, less standing outside to blow the wind."
"The girl has a bad face, but is she sick? Xia Feng avoided this eager concern without a trace, and followed her into the Nuan Pavilion.
She and Aunt Wei have not seen each other once in a year and a half, and they are really not familiar, and they are not comfortable with her natural care.
"Huaiyuan Spring Cold, always have to get sick every year, don't get in the way. Aunt Wei looked at her intently, reluctantly looking away.
She is only in her thirties, and she has been working in the inner house for many years, and she has changed from a boudoir girl to an old age.
Xia Feng didn't know what to say, she and this Wei girl really had no common topic to talk about.
Fortunately, Aunt Wei saw her embarrassment, let people serve a few snacks, beckoned her to eat first, and said casually: "I recently heard rumors outside, but you really are optimistic about that highness?"
"That's right, his parents are dead, there is nowhere to go, and the marriage will be done in Huaiyuan." At that time, I will have to trouble the girl to help manage. Xia Feng was so sweet that his throat was sticky, so he had to drink a cup of tea and suppress it: "My father is old and doesn't care inside and out, all these years, trouble you."
"What I should do, what I have to do." "Aunt Wei gave birth to a bitter look, even if she laughed, she was a little cool, especially old.
Her gaze was far away, as if she saw twenty years ago through Xia Feng in front of her: "You look more and more like your mother, and I have always dreamed of her recently."
"If your mother is still here, she must also wish you good health and happiness." The more Xia Feng sat down, the more uncomfortable he became, and simply went straight to the subject: "Have you seen your uncle recently?" "
You met your grandmother on her birthday last month and didn't say a few words," Aunt Wei said, "I have never been close to your uncles, what's wrong?"
"Three years ago, my eldest cousin killed a girl in the street, and the girl's family sued Huaiyuan Mansion, and the prefect sentenced him to pay for his life. My aunt begged me.
When Xia Feng said this, he laughed lightly: "I directly sent someone to the mansion to prison and sent him a ride." Since then, my grandfather's family probably felt that I was ruthless, and the greetings for the New Year holidays were saved.
"There is a difference between inside and outside, and people's hearts are biased, and this is no way." Aunt Wei comforted and asked, "What arrangements do you have that you need to use the Wei family?" "
It's not an arrangement," Xia Feng said, "You can find a random excuse tomorrow to go to the Wei family and take me with you, but don't let them know that I will go too."
"Okay, I probably haven't seen your grandmother for a long time, it's time to visit her old man's house." Just a few days ago, I got an old ginseng and sent it to her.
Aunt
Wei nodded, and then frowned: "It's just that the eldest lady's dress is too eye-catching, remember to change your clothes tomorrow."
"Okay, girl, rest, I'm still fine." Xia Feng got an answer, stood up and took his leave, not wanting to continue to sit for a moment.
The same is the smell of medicine, the smell of soup and medicine mixed with aromatherapy in Aunt Wei's house, smelling depressed and boring for no reason, which is completely different from the clear and slightly bitter on Xiao Mingchen's body.
"Miss, wait. Aunt Wei called out to her, and waved her hand to let all the idle people in the room retreat: "The last time you asked me to check the suspicious people in the mansion, I asked people to focus on a part of the mansion that had been in the palace for nearly twenty years, and then..."
Xia Feng looked back and saw that she wanted to say something and comforted: "No problem, who may it be, you just say it."
"The old Zhao family and the Xia Cai family, their origins are suspicious, and the family can't find out." Last time, I asked Miss Qianshan to help check it, but I didn't find out. Aunt Wei pondered, "After all, there has been a lot of chaos outside in recent decades, and it may be that something has happened in the middle." "
Although the Central Plains is chaotic, the Northwest is not chaotic, they..." Xia Feng paused for a moment, "They are all my mother's dowry maids, right?" "
