The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 92

In fact, Xie Yujiao was very angry about what happened in the afternoon, but after thinking about Xu's usual style of dealing with people, she became less angry.The reason why she still insisted not to go to Xu's side is because of her own selfishness.

Xie Yujiao didn't intend to be an old lady in the Xie family for the rest of her life. Although it was in ancient times, as long as she had money, she could live a happy life.She has been a little bored of staying at Xie's house for the past two years, and the pleasure of earning money at the beginning can no longer satisfy her now, but now that the situation is like this, she can't let go and be a rice bug, so she can only continue to lose her temper and go outside for a while It might feel better to go.

Furthermore, it's time to let Mrs. Xu know that she can't hide in her little nest forever, and she can live a peaceful life in peace and security just by talking about the daily life of her family members.Xie Yujiao thought about this, and she felt more at ease. Anyway, there is still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year, and when Xu Yuxing returns to Xie's house to celebrate the New Year, she will also come back. Well what more to say.

After half an hour, dinner was delivered from the kitchen. It was some side dishes that Xie Yujiao usually likes to eat. It was probably that Zhang's mother went to the kitchen to order.Xie Yujiao had dinner, washed up early and went to bed, and asked the maids to pack their bags, saying that she was going to live in another courtyard near Bailu Island in the city for a while.

The maids didn't dare to neglect, so they packed up their things.

In the early morning of the next day, the snow had stopped falling, and it was white outside. Xie Yujiao slept soundly last night. When she woke up, it was already bright outside, and the sun happened to rise from the east.Originally, Xie Yujiao was going to have breakfast at Xu's after washing up, but thinking about what happened yesterday, Xie Yujiao sent a magpie to reply, saying that she would have breakfast at her embroidery building today, and she would not go there.

Mrs. Xu heard from the magpie that Xie Yujiao ate dinner last night and went to bed early, and her heart was relieved a little. Seeing that Xie Yujiao still refused to come for breakfast, she had no choice but to go with her.He only asked the kitchen to take a few more things that Xie Yujiao liked to eat, and told the maids to serve them patiently.

Xie Yujiao had eaten breakfast, and went to the study in the front yard as usual. After the usual time, it was time for her to see guests. At the end of the year, according to the principle, it was the time for each family to settle accounts. Xie Yujiao asked two housekeepers to urge her to Mr. Kong settled the accounts clearly, so no one came to visit.

At noon, Liu Fugen came back from outside. It turned out that he had received Xie Yujiao's instruction yesterday, and went to the county government early this morning. He didn't mention Xie Yujiao's donation of cloth, but only inquired about the frontline affairs.

Recently, there has been heavy fighting in the north, and Kang Guangshou has secretly obtained a secret order. If the capital cannot be defended, it is very likely that the capital will be moved.It's just that the matter is too big, and the court is afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so it has not been made clear, so he dare not reveal a word to the outside world.

And now that the front line is in chaos and the post station is seriously damaged, his letters are all sent from the capital, so the news he knows is inevitably delayed.

"Miss, Mr. Kang didn't mention the money this time, but the slave looks at him very seriously, I'm afraid the north is really going to be unable to defend." Liu Fugen looked at Xie Yujiao's serious face, and spoke even more I put twelve points of caution.

Xie Yujiao originally wanted to ask about Zhou Tianhao's news, but she felt that she had said it. Instead, she felt that there was no silver 300 taels here, so she swallowed a breath, held back, and said again: "A few days ago, uncle The master said that there are two good houses in the city, and if you want to buy them, I want to go and see for myself, you can prepare a carriage for me, and I will live in another courtyard in the city for two days."

Liu Fugen heard Zhang's mother talk about Xie Yujiao and Xu's quarrel yesterday, and today he has some idea, and now he heard Xie Yujiao's words, so he said: "Listen to the wife of Shuigen who looks after the house in the other courtyard. The red plum blossoms in the yard are just in bloom, and the girl wants to stay there for a few days, but it has just snowed these two days, and the road is slippery, making it difficult to walk."

Xie Yujiao knew that what Liu Fugen said was right. It would take at least two or three days to ski in this snowy day, and it would take another two or three days when the mud on the road dried up. After hearing this, she felt a headache. This is troublesome!
Xie Yujiao was depressed, when suddenly the magpie outside the door said crisply: "Why did uncle come back today..."

Before the magpie finished speaking, the door of Xie Yujiao's study was pushed open, and Xu Yuxing came in from the door in a busy manner. Seeing Xie Yujiao, he hurriedly said: "Jiaojiao, I'm afraid the north can't be defended anymore. After receiving the Yue family's [-]-mile urgent request, the people in the capital are already evacuating."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she was startled at first, but it was only for a moment, then she calmed down again. She didn't have the heart to go to another courtyard in the city to relax, so she hurriedly told Liu Fugen: "You Find steward Tao quickly and ask him to go to each village and town. All the tenants of the Xie family should guard their own doors. If you encounter people fleeing from the north, don't be afraid, and don't help blindly. Look at the court first. What's the way to do it. Let Butler Tao come over earlier to discuss the matter of setting up a porridge shed, and help anyone who can."

Seeing Xie Yujiao calmly ordering the matter, Xu Yuxing only stood aside for a while, and then continued after seeing that she had finished speaking: "There is one more thing, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

Xie Yujiao looked at Xu Yuxing's troubled face, and felt a little suspicious in her heart, so she just said, "Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it, what's going on at this moment, I'm really anxious."

Xu Yuxing frowned, with a somewhat complicated look on his face, he just said: "My Yue family's letter also said that those who defended the capital were the Southern Conscript Army brought by Prince Rui and Young Master Yang, Young Master Yang broke out to save His Highness Prince Rui , has died heroically.”

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she was only slightly taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't hear Xu Yuxing's words clearly at once. Unable to speak.

Liu Fugen, who was standing by the side, was already terrified, sweating all over his head, and just when he didn't know how to comfort Xie Yujiao, Xie Yujiao lowered his eyelids, and said calmly: "As expected, he died... "

Xie Yujiao didn't know how she spit out these two words, she just felt as if all her strength had been taken away from her body, her fingertips on the table limply drooped, and she leaned back on the armchair behind her. Damn, apart from his pale face, there doesn't seem to be anything else.

Xu Yuxing didn't know about the entanglement between Xie Yujiao and Zhou Tianhao. Seeing the disappointment in Xie Yujiao's words, he comforted him: "I heard that Mr. Yang's body has been found, and he will probably follow the court to the south. Prepare a copy..." When Xu Yuxing said this, it was difficult to continue, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and no matter how generous the gift is, it is not as good as a living person.

Seeing Xie Yujiao's increasingly pale face, Liu Fugen was also very anxious. As the only person who knew, he really didn't know what to say at this moment, so he said depressedly: "I just went to the county government office today to inquire about the news. , I haven't heard Mr. Kang talk about these things, how can you be so good?"

Xu Yuxing only opened his mouth and said: "The imperial court was afraid that the morale of the army would be unstable, so it has not issued an edict to move south. I only found out when I received an urgent letter last night. I am afraid that the county government has also received the news by this time, and it will probably take It's a mess."

Xie Yujiao was still sitting on the chair, listening to what Xu Yuxing and Liu Fugen said to each other, she seemed to be able to hear, but also seemed to be unable to hear, her mind was obviously empty, but her heart was hurting.Speaking of which, there is actually no deep relationship between her and Zhou Tianhao, what he gave to herself was nothing more than a few half-true jokes; and what she gave to him was nothing more than a few bank notes.

Xie Yujiao stood up with her elbows supported, and took a deep breath, as if to warn herself: He is not worthy of being so sad for him.But who knew it was all in vain, Xie Yujiao only felt that her eyes were darkened, and she lost her mind.

Mrs. Xu stood by Xie Yujiao's bedside, her eyes were already red from crying. Seeing Xie Yujiao's more mature and stable in the past two years, she was both happy and worried.In the past, Xie Yujiao would act like a baby to her from time to time, and the two of them would occasionally say a few thoughtful words.But since Chaozong came into existence, the two of them had less and less time like this.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu felt very regretful, holding Xie Yujiao's hand and weeping.When Zhang's mother saw her, she only comforted her and said, "Madam, please don't be sad. The doctor also came to see the girl. He said that it was just a sudden rush, and it was not a serious illness. It will be fine after a few days of giving birth."

Mrs. Xu only thought that Xie Yujiao was angry with herself because of what happened last night, and she just kept saying, "It's all my fault, I know Jiaojiao's temper, and I still made her feel unhappy."

Mother Zhang saw that there were no other maids in the room at the moment, so she walked up to Mrs. Xu, leaned over and said, "I asked our family outside just now, and he said...he said that the girl heard that General Yang died in battle, and his face suddenly changed."

When Mrs. Xu heard the words, she stood up in shock, her eyes turned red again and said, "Mr. Yang is dead? With such a good appearance and character, why did he die?"

Zhang's mother just lowered her head and said: "I heard that the north can no longer be kept. At this moment, my uncle is looking for the big housekeeper to deal with the countermeasures. I'm afraid we won't have a peaceful life here."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she became anxious again. She twisted her handkerchief and walked around the room a few times. She glanced at Xie Yujiao lying on the bed, and said, "The old doctor Zhou's medicine last time, Jiaojiao's food is quite effective, prepare a generous gift for me, let the second housekeeper come over in person, see if he is willing to come again, and take a look for Jiaojiao?"

Zhang's mother only nodded yes, hurriedly got up and went out to prepare, and asked Liu Fugen to take the Xie family's greeting card and invite her in person.It's not easy to go up the road, and it's already dark when we enter the city. We can only see horses and horses running everywhere in the city. It turns out that the first group of people who fled from the north have arrived and are settling down.

Liu Fugen hurriedly went to the old imperial doctor Zhou's mansion to invite someone, but was told that the old imperial doctor Zhou had been invited into the palace early in the morning, saying that the nobles who were seriously injured from the north were coming, and all the old imperial doctors who had already retired from office were recruited. Emergency standby.
