Chapter 131: Being close to others and being cowardly
After the lawsuit was over, Xia Xun's family continued to carry out construction work, but the Yang family stopped and turned a blind eye to the existence of Xia Xun's family. Both parties regarded each other as nothing, but they lived in peace. [] Xia Xun was given enough wages, so he hired
The two groups of craftsmen worked day and night. Fortunately, there was no construction at night to disturb the people. In addition, Xia Xun defeated the old patriarch of the Yang family in a lawsuit. The people in the town were a little in awe of him, and no one dared to jump.
He came out to cause trouble, so the project progressed very quickly.
Xia Xun and Manager Xiao found the hotel at Sanshankou that day where Yang Dingkun had entertained Mr.
Only then did I remember who he was talking about. In fact, Mr. Xie just often came to this restaurant to drink, so he was familiar with the owner and had no special relationship with him.
According to him, the Xie family's master fell ill and died a few years after the engagement banquet. He heard this from other drinkers, and he didn't hear anything about the Xie family after that. The clue was broken, and Xia
Xun had no choice but to use Guanshi Xiao's method, taking a sum of money and hiring a few rogue idle men in Nanjing to help them find out the news.
These rogue idlers had no other skills but to walk around the streets all day, sneaking around, and asking for information. They took the money, but they really worked hard. Four days later, Xia Xun's main house
When they were going up the beam, a rogue came to deliver a message. He handed Manager Xiao a note with an address and a name written on it: Xiaotamexiangmen, East Street and Four Lanes, Xie Luchan.
Xie Luchan is Xie Luti's eldest brother. When Manager Xiao went to Xie's house with his master, he had met him before. At that time, Xie Luchan seemed to be just eleven years old. She was as handsome as a golden boy. She was a well-known young talent in the Jubaomen area, and her conversational style was elegant.
, the reception and response were quite sophisticated, and my own master even praised him profusely on the way back, saying that this child of the Xie family has great potential and will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future.
Finally finding his in-laws, Manager Xiao was overjoyed and immediately informed Xia Xun, asking the young master to go with him to the Little Elephant Gate to look for him.
The Little Taming Elephant Lake is to the west of Mochou Lake, and the road is not close. They both rode horses, prepared gifts, and left Moling Town. When they left the town, they saw Yang Wu and Yang Yu standing under an old locust tree at the entrance of the town.
, a list was posted on the tree, Yang Wu was beating the gong, gathering the people of the town, while Yang Yu was talking loudly with his mouth closed.
Xia Xun and Xiao Jingtang deliberately slowed down and listened attentively. Yang Yu was telling the Yang clan members about things like ancestor worship and righteous fields. Since the matter had nothing to do with them, Xia Xun was too lazy to pay attention to it.
With a whip of their horse, they galloped out of the village with Xiao Jingtang. Wherever they passed, the Yang clan members looked at them in awe, and even though they were not blocking their way, they subconsciously gave way.
Yang Yu saw the two walking away, looked at their backs and smiled sinisterly, and continued to preach loudly to the clan members...
They bypassed Mochou Lake, entered the Little Elephant Gate, and arrived near the four alleys of East Street. They got off their horses and walked toward Xie's house, asking questions. Two girls in green shirts had just come out of a small courtyard when they saw the man in front of him.
Xia Xun and Xiao Guanshi led the horse to ask for directions. The taller girl was taken aback, and she hurriedly pulled the other girl and quickly ran through the door.
"Hey, you're so surprised... ugh!"
As soon as the girl asked half a question, she covered her mouth tightly and quietly walked out from the crack of the door. The short girl noticed something was wrong and didn't say anything anymore. She just opened her hand with all her strength and took it from her.
A head came out of the armpit and looked out with wide eyes.
"Yeah! Yeah! Your man really found his way here, what a great skill."
"Who said he is my man? Shut up! I won't slap you if you talk nonsense again."
When the tall girl saw Xia Xun asking for directions and running towards the alley, she hurriedly closed the door and hurried towards the courtyard. There was a flower cellar in the courtyard with a ladder on the ground. The flower cellar was also covered with flowers and plants.
There is another jujube tree with lush branches and leaves, and its horizontal trunk is erected above the flower cellar.
She climbed up to the flower cellar with her skirt in hand, holding on to the branches and walking into the distance, her expression inexplicably nervous. She was exactly the girl Xia Xun met in Peiping, Xie Yufei, and now, she was also Xia Xun's.
My fiancée Xie Luti thanked the girl.
Then another little girl climbed up. She gathered up her skirt and sat on the jujube tree trunk with one leg. She swayed her two calves between the branches and leaves. She said to Xie Yufei: "Hey, I have arrived at your house.
Well, you can see her even if you don’t see her, it’s inevitable for an ugly daughter-in-law to see her parents-in-law, so you’d better go back quickly, there’s no point in hiding.”
Xie Yufei bit her lip and asked, "What kind of ugly wife?"
Nan Feifei chuckled and said, "Of course I am a charlatan."
Xie Yufei's face suddenly turned pale, and there was no trace of blood. This was the biggest pain in her heart. She could not care about anything in front of others, but in front of the husband she wanted to spend her whole life with, let him know about her unbearable behavior.
Can you hold your head high? He is a scholar with a clean family background, so he is willing to take a female thief as his wife? I'm afraid that once he learns the truth, he will divorce him immediately, right? Then the eldest brother must also know what he is doing outside.
It's such a scandal. Big brother can't stand the excitement. What if he goes crazy again...
Seeing that she was silent, Nan Feifei turned his head and saw that she was biting her lower lip tightly until it turned white. She couldn't help being surprised: "Luti, you usually laugh at yourself as a liar, and you are so proud of yourself.
He is a master of deception, and he is better than his master. I...I just said it casually, how could you...you actually care about him, don't you?"
"Why should I care about him?"
Xie Yufei sneered, pretending to be dismissive and said: "I'm just worried...worried that he will tell my brother if he sees me and finds out my identity..."
Nan Feifei glanced at her and sneered in the same way: "Sister Luti, you are not a good girl when you say what you mean."
Xie Yufei rolled her eyes and said, "Your mother taught you this, thank you."
Nan Feifei chuckled: "Isn't thank you your nickname?"
She jumped off the tree trunk and said seriously to Xie Yufei: "Luti, for so many years, you, a girl, have appeared in public and done so many dangerous things. What are you doing for it? Is it for yourself? No matter what you think is right
No matter how much your eldest brother owes, you have repaid him enough. You have reached the age of marriage, and now that your fiancée is here, you should make plans for yourself.
Besides, this Yang Xu is rich, powerful and famous, and it is difficult to find him even with a lantern. You are his first wife who has three matchmaking certificates and six certificates. If you don’t marry him, who else will he marry? I think he is a reasonable person, how about I
Go talk to him first and tell him all your difficulties. I believe that as long as he has a little conscience, he will forgive you..."
"do not go!"
Seeing Nan Feifei was about to leave, Xie Yufei panicked and quickly grabbed her. Nan Feifei stamped her feet and said, "When did you become so timid?"
"me……"
Nan Feifei said enthusiastically: "Here, look at you, you are so handsome and cute. If he knew that you were his little wife, he would probably laugh out loud in his dreams, and he would even care about what you have done...
.... Luti, I think you and him are actually very destined. You, when we went to Peking, we bumped into him. Such a coincidence shows that you two are destined to be destined!"
Xie Yufei gave a bitter smile and said quietly: "Every day in the world, there are countless people traveling in the same car and boat. It is normal for someone to occasionally know each other or have something to do with each other. It's just a coincidence. It's destiny."
Nan Feifei said: "A coincidence? Okay! Even if it was a coincidence, when everyone went their separate ways in Beiping Mansion, there shouldn't be another chance to meet each other, right? But... you happened to go to Xie Chuanzhong's house, and so did he.
, By the way! You also did him a big favor. If you hadn't helped him figure out the purpose of those fools, once those fools really bombed Prince Yan's Mansion, looking back, he would have had to kill everyone in his family? Speaking of you
But he was his savior.
Let's talk about this time again. In Fengyang, if you hadn't hinted to the police, Wan Songling might have been successful in trying to do something on his own. In that case, his wealth would have been defrauded. You, you, you have so many prosperous husbands.
Good luck, it's his blessing that he can find you. The ancients said that if you are destined to meet you thousands of miles away, and these coincidences happen one after another, isn't it your destiny? As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
"Then...then I..."
"Let's go, go ahead, observe people's faces, and adapt to circumstances. Is this done?"
Nan Feifei picked up Xie Yufei and left, laughing and saying: "You are so capable, why are you afraid of others this time? If it were me, hum! It's not easy to meet such a delicious fat sheep, don't say
We already have an engagement, and even if there is no engagement, I will still deceive him! Hey, what’s so great about deceiving people for money, but deceiving a man who is your wishful man and asking him to support you for the rest of your life, that’s what you’re capable of!”
At the end of the winding and narrow stone alley is Xie Luchan's home.
The old stone steps were covered with moss, and a big tabby cat lay under the bamboo fence, staring at the two uninvited guests with a pair of green eyes. Xia Xun and Manager Xiao stopped and walked towards the courtyard. The stone door with brackets was
It is vigorous and simple. On the left and right sides of the stone gate are engraved the couplets "Yi Ye in the Orchid Pavilion, New Branches in the Sophora japonica", and the brushstrokes can be seen through the stone wall. There is a large pomegranate tree in the courtyard with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the eaves of a two-story building are looming.
The two stood still and heard a burst of chatter and laughter coming from the courtyard. Manager Xiao glanced at Xia Xun, walked up the mossy stone steps, and asked loudly: "Excuse me, is this the Xie family? Xie Lu
Mr. Chan Xie, is he here?"
Xia Xun's heart couldn't help but jump at this shout: "God bless me, this is my wife for life. I don't ask you to give me a Supreme Leopard. As long as she doesn't look like Sister Feng and has a temper like Little Sister."
Yueyue, I will be satisfied. Well, if I can grow up to be as pretty as Princess Cherry, Xiaoxia will definitely burn incense to fulfill her wish..."
