The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 76

About half an hour later, there was still no movement around here.Xie Yujiao saw that Shen Shihu was standing outside the mountain temple looking at the stockade on the top of the mountain not far away, so she couldn't help but asked, "Brother Shen, could it be that they didn't dare to come because they saw us bringing so many people over?" down?"

Shen Shihu had no idea for a while, seeing that Xie Yujiao seemed to be in a hurry, he said, "Since they dare not come down, the little ones should go up and see what happens."

Seeing what Shen Shihu said, Xie Yujiao couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Brother Shen, don't worry, we are here to give money. Those who want money are not in a hurry, and we are even less in a hurry. Just wait!"

When Shen Shihu heard the words, he just smiled innocently, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he said: "Miss, wait here for a while, I'll go out to see the brothers."

Xie Yujiao just nodded, turned around again, and was about to pay respects to the mountain god a few more times, when someone from the crowd outside shouted: "Someone has come down from the mountain, brothers, copy the ones in your hands, and have a good time with them!" Do it."

Shen Shihu only ran forward in a hurry, and he saw a group of people on the mountainside coming down in a mighty way.A group of villagers with hoes and poles became nervous, each clenched the things in their hands, and waited for the people from the mountain to come down with their eyes wide open.

Yun Song only rushed to the front, covered his forehead with his hands, stretched his neck to look up, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he said excitedly: "Everyone put down your weapons, my young master has led the people from the mountain down! "

At this time, Xie Yujiao also took Ziyan to the front of the crowd. Seeing that Xie Yujiao was also coming, Yun Song kept saying, "Miss Xie, I said my young master is amazing, I didn't lie to you! My young master is... ..." Yun Song was happy for a while, and almost slipped his mouth, but fortunately, he reacted in time, and only laughed a few times and said: "My young master has a good fortune!"

Xie Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and didn't care what Yun Song said. She just watched from a distance a group of people surrounded by two young people approaching this way. It's really unflattering to be bare-chested.

At this time Zhou Tianhao was leading the crowd down the mountain, and from a distance, he saw a woman in fluttering white clothes standing among the crowd, like a lotus out of water.Looking at that sharp gaze from a distance, Zhou Tianhao suddenly felt a little nervous, he just patted Boss Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Master Xiao, borrow your clothes."

Boss Xiao was originally a grasshopper, so he didn't care about these things. He just took off his coat, handed it to Zhou Tianhao, and continued to walk forward with his chest exposed.Xie Yujiao looked at the inexplicable actions of the two leading men, she couldn't figure it out, but she didn't bother to think about it.

As soon as the group of people approached, everyone still held the thing in their hands in a defensive manner. Yun Song only went up to meet him happily. Seeing Zhou Tianhao wearing a coarse cloth with blood stains on his arm, he was surprised and said: " Young master, why did you hurt yourself again, let's go to Lord Kang and ask him to ask a doctor to take a look at you."

At this time, Xie Yujiao also saw the people who came, and saw that they did not intend to make a move, so she slightly blessed Zhou Tianhao and said, "This is the hero who saved my mother, please be respected by the little girl."

Although Xie Yujiao was usually quite serious, her natural voice was clear and crisp, and her long pink and jade-carved voice made her even more charming with such a voice.Zhou Tianhao looked at the way she bowed gracefully, although she was gentle and polite, she had this integrity that was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Zhou Tianhao, who was used to seeing ladies in the capital, suddenly brighten his eyes.

Zhou Tianhao felt a little dazed for a moment, and didn't know what to say, but Yun Song over there was impatient, so he just reminded him: "Young Master, Miss Xie is saluting to you, don't hesitate to ask him to get up, he is your lifesaver Where is the benefactor!"

Xie Yujiao blushed a little when the mention of her lifesaver was mentioned, and Zhou Tianhao also reacted at this time, only saying incoherently: "Miss Xie, please get up." Zhou Tianhao glanced at the mighty villagers around him, feeling more and more embarrassed Standing up, he only smiled and said, "It's no wonder you brought so many people to rescue me, I'm really flattered."

Xie Yujiao stood up, glanced at Zhou Tianhao lightly, and only smiled lightly: "This is all as it should be. You saved my mother and you are in prison. It is only natural for me to save you."

Usually, Zhou Tianhao often heard Kang Guangshou mention Xie Yujiao, and his impression of her was like a rose. Although she looks good, if anyone dares to take advantage of her, she will be riddled with holes. .Seeing Xie Yujiao's gentle and polite appearance now, Zhou Tianhao was a little confused for a while.

Zhou Tianhao didn't know how to answer, Xie Yujiao just said: "Since the young master is out of danger, please follow me back to Xie's house. I can also do my landlord's favor, and by the way, invite a doctor to treat the young master."

A beauty invited me to her home, such a good opportunity, even a man would go, but Zhou Tianhao remembered that he had just agreed to the brothers in Qinglongzhai, so he had to politely decline: "Miss Xie, I appreciate your kindness, but I Just now I promised these brothers that I will take them to Lord Kang, and ask Lord Kang to give them a place to stay, so we can’t just stay here in Qinglong Mountain and continue to be bandits, right?”

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao admired Zhou Tianhao a little bit, and remembered that Mrs. Kang had just passed away, Mrs. Kang must be in trouble now, there are a lot of refugees in this group, if they want to be resettled, I am afraid that Xie's family will have to come forward.

Xie Yujiao lowered her head and thought about it for a long time. Although she knew it was difficult, she still gritted her teeth and said, "I also heard that the people in this Qinglong Village were originally refugees from the north, but they were forced to form a cottage. Although our Xie family is small and weak, my father has always cared about the country and the people, and has helped many refugees. Now there are thirty or forty families of refugees from the north in the Xie family house. Our Xie family Nothing else, there are still a few acres of Susukida in the Moling area of ​​Jiangning. If you are willing to stay and live the life of ordinary men farming and women weaving, I still have some uncultivated wasteland and hills in my hand , I can give you one kind.”

When Xie Yujiao said this, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she continued: "I just want to live in my Xie family, and there is a rule. Our Xie family ancestors have been honest people for generations, and we never do things that oppress the people. Things, if someone eats Xie's food and thinks about digging into the corner of Xie's house, such a person, please do it yourself!"

After hearing this, all the people in the cottage started whispering, and the wives and women who followed behind also whispered to each other.Behind the crowd, there was a man holding a cane who was slowly coming forward and walked to the side of Boss Xiao. Folks, let's farm!"

Boss Xiao's throat twitched, and Mrs. Xiao continued: "In addition to you young men, there are also a few girls who are waiting to be married and a few school-age children in the village. Let's hide in here." It's easy, but what do they do? Girls can't get married, and their children don't go to school. Do they want to be like this for the rest of their lives? We don't have land, so we can only rely on robbing. The court will come to us one day, and we will die by ourselves It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, why bother to risk the lives of the whole family?"

Seeing that what the man said made sense, Xie Yujiao said, "Xie's house has a free school, and you can send your children to school for free. As for the girl who is about to marry, please look up. Are the young men in our Xie's house enough for you to choose?" ?”

As soon as this was said, the girls who were hiding behind and whispering became shy, and all of them lowered their heads and fell silent.Xie Yujiao only paused, and continued to speak: "I'll give you three days to think about it. If you think it through, after three days, hand in the list of everyone in this village, and I will definitely make a comprehensive arrangement for you."

Xie Yujiao's words were sonorous and forceful, and everyone was amazed by it. Only a few young men who were full of blood said: "If Miss Xie can really help us resettle our family, we will go to war with this little general!"

"Yes! We are going to fight with the little general!" Everyone raised their hands and said.

Xie Yujiao turned her head and glanced at Zhou Tianhao, and seeing him standing there, looking at those people with a bit of complacency, she frowned helplessly, changed her address to Zhou Tianhao just now, and said, "Little General ,please!"

On the way back, Xie Yujiao specially arranged a carriage for Zhou Tianhao and Yun Song.Zhou Tianhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he just quietly leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.Yun Song looked at Zhou Tianhao dressed like a beggar, and said aggrievedly: "My lord, when will you stop torturing yourself like this? I have been following you since I was a child, and I was so scared that I peed my pants several times!"

Zhou Tianhao raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Song, and said with a little disdain: "You are timid and still rely on me?"

Seeing that Zhou Tianhao was not angry, Yun Song just leaned closer and whispered, "My lord, is Miss Xie pretty?"

"Looking good has nothing to do with you." Zhou Tianhao just said casually.

Yun Song laughed when he heard this, and said flatteringly: "The servant thinks Miss Xie is not only good-looking, but also very righteous. The kidnappers only delivered the letter last night, and Miss Xie brought her a letter this morning. Someone is coming to rescue you, look, this efficiency is no worse than our family's soldiers!"

Zhou Tianhao just nodded and said: "Well, the efficiency is indeed very high, and you can make up the number by resisting a hoe. How do you compare them with my soldiers in the palace?" Knocking on his forehead, the wound on his arm was pulled open again, and he grinned in pain.

After Xie Yujiao left, Mrs. Xu knelt in the small Buddhist hall to recite scriptures without eating or drinking, and ordered her servant girl to send someone to guard at the village entrance, and if there was any news outside, she would come back and report.The old aunts, great aunts and others outside are also waiting for news.

Baozhu and Baozhen were handed over to the nanny for the time being. Seeing Xu Huiru sitting in the living room without saying a word, the eldest aunt thought that she was just a little girl, and now she lived here alone, so she would inevitably be a little scared. Then she stepped forward to comfort her and said: "Hui Ru don't need to be afraid, those robbers are also bullying and fearing hard. I heard that Jiaojiao brought the Bailai people over there, and she must be able to rescue them."

Xu Huiru just nodded, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a low voice: "It would be nice if daddy was at home, so my cousin wouldn't have to go in person." Women in ancient times had a kind of dependence on men. Xie Yujiao did it No matter how good she is, but in their eyes, she is still a girl, and she will always find a man to marry in the future, and then she will be like all women.

After hearing this, the old aunt and grandma also followed suit and said: "In a few days, I should also persuade my wife. I have to start looking for a son-in-law for Jiaojiao earlier. I really don't start until the master has passed his filial piety." Zhang Luo, Jiaojiao will be [-] or [-] by then, if there is no suitable candidate for this moment, and if it takes another year or two, she will be an old girl."

When the eldest aunt heard what the old aunt said, she just smiled and said, "Why doesn't my aunt plan to let Jiaojiao marry and go out?"

The old aunt knew that the aunt was deliberately stabbing her with words, so she was not angry, she just smiled and said: "Is there no way? Chaozong is still a baby boy, this family can't do without Jiaojiao!"

Seeing that the old aunt and grandma had finally let go of their prejudice against Xie Yujiao, the aunt became more and more happy in her heart. She only remembered that she was in Xie's house, but it was not a long-term solution, and she became a little more worried, and she was afraid that she would die again. Once they met someone who was not good, the two children suffered along with them, and their mood only became a little heavier for a while.

Xu Huiru frowned suddenly when she saw her aunt and grandma, and she didn't know why for a moment. She was about to speak a few words of persuasion, when she heard the old lady running all the way inside and shouting: "Madam... Madam... Miss He came back and rescued a handsome young man, he has already arrived at the gate!"

After hearing this, the aunt and grandmother were overjoyed and said, "Go to the Buddhist hall and ask your wife to come out!"

The old aunt and grandma also stood up, and heard the woman talking about the handsome young man, she couldn't help but ask: "Mrs. Zheng, you come in through the second gate, and the family only arrives at the main gate. How do you know that is a handsome young man?" Woolen cloth?"

Mrs. Zheng knew that her aunt and grandma always liked to rely on the old and sell the old, and now she was persuaded by Xie Yujiao a few times, so she didn't get angry with her, she just smiled and said: "That's what the boy who answered at the door said. Yes, my eyesight has long been dead, even if I stand in front of me, I may not be able to tell that I am ugly!"

At this time Mrs. Xu had also come out of the Buddhist hall, and happened to hear what they said, she just smiled and said: "No, he is just a handsome young master! Don't look at him as handsome, he still has kung fu, he can fight three times alone. Personally, you saved me, Mama Zheng, what are you doing standing there, go and invite him in."

Mrs. Zheng said again and again that the eldest aunt and the old aunt saw that the matter was settled, and they didn't want to stay for long, so they both left.Xu Huiru knew that it was a male guest, so although Xie Yujiao was very nervous, she just obediently left.

Zhou Tianhao rubbed his sore and swollen brows, and got off the carriage. Although he could drink well, the wine in Qinglongzhai was really not good wine, he drank too much.He had just endured all the way in front of the crowd, and now he also felt a little unbearable headache.

Seeing Zhou Tianhao's shaggy beard, Yun Song felt even more worried, so he just said, "Master, why don't we go to Mr. Kang's house to rest for a few days, the imperial physician said last time that your injuries need to rest , you ran out secretly, the emperor knows, and the slave's life will be lost again..."

Before Yun Song finished speaking, Zhou Tianhao said, "Do you still remember what we came here for?"

Yun Song only frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "Repay the favor!"

"Then what is this place?"

Yun Song rolled his eyes and blurted out: "The benefactor!"

Zhou Tianhao raised his eyebrows, followed behind Xie Yujiao, and entered without hesitation.

Xie Yujiao ushered Zhou Tianhao in, turned her head, and saw that he was wearing coarse clothes on the upper body, and satin boots trimmed with silver thread on the lower body, as unconventional as he wanted, she suppressed a smile and ordered: "Purple Yan, you go to Uncle's room, take some clean clothes and let this young man change into it first."

Zhou Tianhao just nodded and thanked, Yun Song said from the side: "Excuse me, Miss Xie, is there any medicine for golden sores in the house, I will give it to my young master first."

Xie Yujiao only nodded, and then ordered Tao Laixi who came out to greet him, "Master, you send a servant to the county, and invite the doctor from Ren'an Hall to give this young master a good diagnosis and treatment."

When Zhou Tianhao heard about it, he smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Miss. My surname is Yang, Mu Yiyang. If you don't mind Miss Xie, you can call me Brother Yang."

Xie Yujiao raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Tianhao, but she didn't speak to Mrs. Zheng who came to meet her, and said, "Mama Zheng, take Mr. Yang to the guest room to rest for a while. If Mr. Yang needs anything, just do it." , wait for his doctor to come and give him a diagnosis and treatment, then take him to see his wife."

Mrs. Zheng only nodded in agreement, and led Zhou Tianhao and Yun Song to the guest room. Yun Song shrank his neck and followed behind Zhou Tianhao, and whispered, "Master, how do I feel, Miss Xie really despises you a little?"

Zhou Tianhao only threw a slash at Yun Song, and Yun Song's neck tightened even more in fright.

Xie Yujiao had just entered the main courtyard, so Mrs. Xu hurriedly greeted her from the hall. Seeing that there was no one else behind Xie Yujiao, she asked, "Where is that young master? Why didn't he come in with you?"

Xie Yujiao knew that Mrs. Xu was impatient, so she said, "This inner courtyard is full of female relatives. I asked Mama Zheng to take him to the guest room to rest. He suffered some minor injuries. I also ordered someone to call for a doctor. Don't toss about day and night, mother will let him have a good rest first."

Seeing that Xie Yujiao arranged things in an orderly manner, Mrs. Xu laughed at herself: "I just wanted to see him and thank him, but I forgot about these things." , opened the mouth and said: "You go to Zheng's mother to see if there is anything else you need to help with. You can stay in the front yard for a few days and serve that young master."

Seeing Bai Ling's response, Xie Yujiao was about to go to the front yard, so she said, "You tell the kitchen to make a bowl of hangover soup and bring it over."

It turned out that when Zhou Tianhao got out of the car, Xie Yujiao could smell the smell of alcohol. She is naturally sensitive to the smell of alcohol, but she can smell it when others take a sip. Boss Xiao's clothes were also poured down in a pile. It can be seen that the taste is sour, and it is difficult for Xie Yujiao not to dislike it.

Xie's guest room is very clean. Sometimes Xu Yuxing brings business friends to see tea mountains and mulberry trees, and some of them stay here for a few days.Zhou Tianhao saw that Mama Zheng brought over clean clothes, although they looked a little smaller, but at least they were much better than the one on her body.

Zhou Tianhao took off his coat, and the knife wound on his arm was completely exposed in front of his eyes.Yun Song only held the wrung handkerchief, gently wiped the blood on both sides of the wound for him, and said: "My lord, why did you get yourself injured all over your body when you didn't go to the battlefield? Scars, the princess will feel so distressed when she sees her in the future!"

Zhou Tianhao grinned his teeth in pain, but he still refused to admit defeat and said, "Without a scar on your body, can you be considered a man?"

Yun Song frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly laughed, and said, "Then according to what you said, my lord, I am also a man?"

Zhou Tianhao lowered his head, glanced at Yunsong's crotch, shook his head and said, "Except for your one!"

The master and servant were teasing each other, when suddenly they heard the voice of the little maid from outside saying: "Young master, my girl asked the servant to bring you hangover soup."

Zhou Tianhao was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Miss Xie to be so careful, and she could detect that he had drunk, and he felt warm in his heart, and forgot Xie Yujiao's expression of disdain for him, just smiled and said: "You send Bring it in!"

Bai Ling came in with hangover soup, and only looked up at Zhou Tianhao, who was sitting on the side applying the medicine. Seeing that his back was covered with bruises of various sizes, he was startled, and hurriedly put down the tea tray in his hand, bowed and backed out .

Seeing the nervous look of the little maid, Yun Song couldn't help nagging again: "My lord, look, even this little maid is frightened. When the princess sees her in the future, she must be scared to death. I heard that the queen Your Majesty has some kind of jade skin ointment, when we return to the capital, the servant will ask you for some, so we can get rid of some scars and make it look better."

Zhou Tianhao listened to Yun Song's gossip for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "You are the only gossip, others say women are gossips, you are only a half woman, why are you even more gossip than a half woman."

After Zhou Tianhao finished speaking, he felt his brain ache from swelling, so he picked up the hangover soup on the side coffee table and drank it all in one gulp.

Xie Yujiao came out of Xu's room and ordered the servant girl to call Liu Fugen into the study. Although she heard Yun Song mention Zhou Tianhao's identity yesterday, she was still a little uncertain. She was always careful in doing things, so she called Liu Fugen over, and then Ask clearly.

"I did meet this young master when I was on business at Mr. Kang's residence. Mr. Kang said that he was his cousin from the capital, but I didn't ask about the specific family. I only heard that his surname was Yang. "

Last night, Yun Song also said that Zhou Tianhao's surname was Yang, so the two said something similar.Xie Yujiao didn't have any suspicions at first, but today the matter went too smoothly. He took a group of people there in a mighty way, and was dealt with by this kid before he got serious. After all, Xie Yujiao also felt a little bit I can't figure it out!
Xie Yujiao sent Liu Fugen away, just stood up, and walked back and forth in front of the window by herself.Her brows gradually frowned. The seemingly peaceful life of the Xie family actually had accidents from time to time.This incident is a warning to Xie Yujiao. In such troubled times, money alone is not enough. War can destroy everything, including everything the Xie family owns now.
