Lady Changning

Chapter 57 Helian Bao (1)

Now that the third aunt is pregnant, her natural status is different.As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, although the third aunt has done her duty, but it is inevitable that some people will be jealous.

So Xi Changning had to find the fifth aunt in private, because the fifth aunt also knew that Xi Changning was worried about Hu Cheng, so she also expressed her willingness to share, so the matter of taking care of and protecting the third aunt was naturally handed over to the fifth aunt.Fifth Yiniang is a savage in the compound, and everyone knows it, so she dare not provoke her much, not to mention Xi Jian's backing.

With the protection of Fifth Yiniang, Xi Changning can also concentrate on dealing with Hu Cheng's affairs.

The next day, Mingyu sneaked into Tayue Pavilion again.I muttered in my heart, Miss is really strange, last time it was mended clothes, why did I change to men’s clothes this time, maybe a girl’s family went to a clothing store to buy men’s clothes, this clothes belonged to the young master a few years ago, and Miss let her secretly to get it.

Seeing Mingyu coming back, Xi Changning went to ask her to put the clothes into the food box like last time.He also asked Mingyu to deliver the prepared letter to the fifth aunt of Linhu Bieyuan.

Xi Changning is not at home, in case there is anything that needs the help of Fifth Yiniang, she has already prepared a letter, and by the way, asks Fifth Yiniang to take good care of Third Yiniang, and don't let anyone take advantage of her loopholes.

After everything was ready, Xi Changning and Mingyu went out and walked to Jieqiao, where the carriage was already waiting.This time, in order not to be like the last time, she specifically asked Mingyu to rent a carriage from a carriage dealer in the market. Although the price was twice as expensive as usual, she was afraid that the situation last time would happen.If it really happened, it would not be as lucky as last time.

Xi Changning took the carriage to the market by the way, where the things she asked Mingyu to buy were stored in the shops in the market, because it was inconvenient to bring them back to the mansion, so they could only be deposited in the merchants, but fortunately, the shopkeepers saw that they were spending a lot of money, which was also not in the way. All the face is left behind.

After picking up the things, we set off for Hucheng.Xi Changning made a special trip early this time, because he didn't want to come back late like last time.

Xiangfu·Courtyard
Xi Hanxue came to Da Furen's yard early in the morning, because she knew Da Furen was in a bad mood recently, and it wasn't all because of San Yiniang's pregnancy.

As soon as Xi Hanxue entered the courtyard, she heard the scolding voice of the eldest lady, and even Dongmei, the maid who had always been favored, was scolded.

"Is this house going to change hands? Are you all neglecting me so much? Can the water you draw in the morning be enough to wash your face? It's so hot."

Standing outside the door, Xi Hanxue knew the scene of Da Furen abusing others. Da Furen is a person who cannot rebel, and the current situation is too unfavorable for them.

"Hanxue greeted my mother. The servants don't know how to do things, so Hanxue will take care of the grooming."

Xi Hanxue greeted obediently, and motioned Dongmei to fetch another basin of water.

Xi Hanxue's hands were soft, and while the maid was fetching water, she gently kneaded the head of the eldest lady, which made the eldest lady feel better.

"It's still Hanxue who is sensible, these maids are all sleazy."

"If mother likes it, Hanxue will come to serve you every day from now on."

Xi Hanxue understood very well, from the time she followed Da Furen, she and Da Furen were on the same boat, and if she wanted to have a good life for herself, Da Furen had to feel comfortable.But since Xi Changning appeared, the situation continued, and they were overwhelmed.

"Mother, why would you be willing to waste your skillful hands on me? You were trained by me, and you are a person who will do great things."

Da Furen's words are pun intended to make Xi Hanxue calm down, even if the two of them are being suppressed now, it's no one else's turn to take the lead.Besides, this Bai Liu's health has always been bad, and no one can guarantee whether she will survive until she gives birth.

There was a cold light in Da Furen's eyes, obviously she had a plan in her heart.

When Xi Hanxue saw that there was something in the Da Furen's words, she understood it very clearly.She didn't say anything anymore, she once said, let her do things if nothing happens, not only Xi Changning.

Ever since I found out that the third aunt was pregnant, although I was worried, I was more worried that it must not be her, but the eldest lady. The eldest lady was the first person who would not let the third aunt go, and she followed Xi Changning's example in watching plays. How did Xi Changning catch her.

"In the past two days, Xi Changning hasn't seen anything and doesn't know what she's doing. The old mother who put her in the room said that she ran out all day."

"I'm dissatisfied with my mother, I know this too. But another matter is more difficult. Fifth aunt looks at third aunt every day, and she won't even let me get close to her when I go to pay her respects."

The more aggrieved Xi Hanxue said, the angrier the eldest lady became. The face with exquisite makeup was a little distorted, Xi Hanxue saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.

Because I was delayed in the market for a while, although it was earlier than the last time I came to Hucheng, it was much later than expected.

"You unload the things, and then follow me in."

The driver of the carriage house saw that it was Hu Cheng, and shrank his neck, as if he didn't dare.The coachman looked young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with dark skin and bright eyes.

"Miss... no, it should be the son. Isn't this going to Hucheng? Those barbarians are unreasonable. They will rob strangers as soon as they see them. If they rob you, they will send you to the wolves." The driver saw the two disguised people. People have not adapted to the address for a while.

He wondered, is it popular for ladies in the city to wear men's clothes?Last time at the Lantern Festival, the lady from the official and rich family wore men's clothes and mixed with the men to play.This time I rented a car and came to Hucheng, which is really confusing.

"Just talk about it. If it hurts you, can you still bring you here? My lady came to Beijing to do business for the family. What do you know?"

Mingyu's remarks were made with Xi Changning earlier, and their identities are not convenient for them to walk around the streets, let alone come to Hucheng, so it is naturally good to have a name.Although she still has lingering fears about the last time she met a wolf, but the young lady is not afraid and she must not be afraid.

Seeing that no one was in a hurry, the coachman naturally didn't say anything.He quickly picked up his things and walked along. In fact, he himself didn't know what kind of city Hucheng was, but he heard an old man in the city say that even the beggars in the capital looked down on him, but he was very arrogant.

Xi Changning ignored what the two people behind him were talking about.Looking at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar forest, it seemed that the dusty young man would suddenly whisper in his ear.

"Don't be afraid."

But looking at this empty forest again, I am afraid there is nothing special except for the three of them, let alone the one who has left.

This time Xi Changning learned his lesson. In order not to fall into the trap, he carefully surveyed the terrain. He Lianbao is actually a scary empty frame, otherwise how could they have occupied this place alone for so long.After escaping the mechanism, he arrived in Hucheng in a short while.

It was still the dilapidated look I saw last time, even the driver behind him was surprised. How could the scary town that was rumored look like this?
"I thought you gave up, don't worry. See how careful you are when you go, and you didn't set a trap for you."

Sitting on the low wall was He Lianbao, who was all in black. It hadn't changed from last time, so it was very recognizable.

"I said I will come, and I will come."

Xi Changning also walked into the city boldly and confidently.

The people in the city saw that it was the girl from last time, even though she was wearing men's clothes, they could recognize her, after all, this is the only one who came back after leaving Hucheng.

"Distribute Mingyu's stuff with the carriage, I have something to discuss with Miss Helian."

Xi Changning saw that He Lianbao seemed to have something to say to him, so he sent Fayu to distribute the things he bought to the people in the city. They also knew that the poor here had nothing, so they bought some grain and some They bought medicines and even clothes.

Seeing Xi Changning say that, He Lianbao didn't stop her, she did have something to say to Xi Changning.

"Before I left in a hurry, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Xi Changning. Miss Helian, since you have spoken, I think Miss Helian must have made up her mind."

He Lianbao hesitated for a moment, looked around, and watched everyone happily accept the things Xi Changning sent.She lowered her head, she knew very well that what she was suffering now was not starvation, but the lives of the entire Hucheng people.

What also surprised He Lianbao was that the Xuanfu and the girl in front of Xi Changning clearly had the title deed in their hands, so finding the government could be a solution, but the Xuanfu paid attention to friendship and morality, and as for the Xi Changning in front of him. They are not from Xuanfu, why should they help them?
"Miss Helian, I know you are surprised, but to tell you the truth, if we take back this land, we will be a family."

The Xiangfu is not her home, it is just the home of the concubine of the Xiangfu, and her home is created by herself.As Xuan Jing said, this land is hers, and naturally it is also her home.

Seeing Xi Changning's sincerity, He Lianbao actually thought about it for a long time. She could carry this burden, but the people below couldn't bear it. They were all honest people, no matter how poor they were, no one had ever given up on everyone.So she can't let them suffer, that's what her father said before he left.

"Xi Changning, follow me."

After He Lianbao left such a sentence, he walked straight to the front, and Xi Changning didn't dare to stop for a moment and followed.

Unexpectedly, the place where Helianbao brought Xi Changning was in front of Helianbao's father's grave.He Lianbao knelt in front of the grave, glanced at Xi Changning, Xi Changning also knelt down willingly, it doesn't matter if it's an ancestor kneeling.

"Father, you have seen this person clearly. You always believed and misunderstood her when you were alive. I will bet back today, believe her!"

Dong dong dong, three ringings of the head, let Xi Changning's heart also warm up, He Lianbao is a kind and caring person.Fortunately, he also indulged once, and Xi Changning also kowtowed three times.

"Senior Helian, I will not let Miss Helian regret it."

"Xi Changning, don't we look like sisters by kowtowing like this?" He Lianbao didn't expect this noble lady to kowtow to her father.

"Changning Thirteen, do you know Miss Helian?"

"Fifteen."

The two looked at each other and smiled, it was a tacit understanding.Xi Changning knew that he not only took back the land, but also had his own home, and even a rare friend.
