Chapter 74

To tell the truth, Xie Zuiqiao suffered a lot from the whip, but at this moment he finally got such a sentence from his father, he couldn't care about the pain, and blurted out: "Such a small injury is not a problem, tomorrow..."

He wanted to say "It's okay to leave tomorrow", but suddenly he saw his father standing there with raised eyebrows, Xie Jingzhu beside him was blinking at him, and immediately swallowed back the words.

"What tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow... I'll have a drink with my dad. I just got a few altars of high-quality amber lights, and I'm keeping them until my dad comes back..."

Xie Zuiqiao whispered.

Xie Nanjin glanced at his back and saw that the blood was dripping, even the waist of his trousers was stained with blood, he frowned and snorted, and said coldly: "I don't have such good luck, you just drink with your father-in-law in the future! There are military regulations, and family rules. You should have been whipped a hundred times. For the sake of your sister who pleaded for mercy just now, write it down for now. Give me another hour to kneel in front of my ancestors, so that I can reflect. If you If you dare to commit a crime, you will be held accountable!" After saying that, he took Xie Jingzhu's hand, turned around and walked away.

Xie Zuiqiao smiled wryly, but continued to kneel there, motionless.Rao has been practicing martial arts for many years, and gradually felt numbness in his knees, and bursts of burning pain in his back.Just thinking about going south to propose marriage to the Ruan family soon, recalling Mingyu's smile, but I can't stop the sweetness in my heart, even the gray and stern portrait of my ancestors in front of me is vivid. a lot.Finally passed that hour, Lu Da who had been waiting outside, Mama An, who was in charge of the inner courtyard of the mansion, and Xie Zuiqiao's personal servant Xie Fu, who was serving in the mansion, rushed in and helped him up.

This mother An used to be the wet nurse that Xie Zuiqiao's mother followed when she married, and she had a little relationship with the An family, and she is now over 50.Because Xie's mother has always been weak and agile, she has been helping Xie's inner courtyard for many years, loving Xie Zuiqiao more than her grandson.The day before yesterday, her grandson, who was in charge of the farm outside Xiejiacheng, had a newborn baby, so she went over to visit her happily, and just returned home a while ago.Who would have thought that as soon as he came back, he heard that the master was back, the master whipped the son, and the master punished the son to kneel all night, and rushed over as soon as he lost his burden. Seeing that he was kneeling there with his back naked and covered in blood, his heart ached. .After Xie Zuiqiao returned to his room and lay down on the couch, Mother An twisted a cloth towel to gently wipe the blood stains for him, then wiped the corners of his eyes, and said: "Master is too cruel, he really managed to do it. As soon as he came back, he wiped the blood. Such a good person! If the wife is still here, how can the master be so ruthless..." He hurriedly asked someone to invite a doctor to treat the injury, but was stopped by Xie Zuiqiao, and said with a smile: "Thank you mother for your trouble, only I It’s better not to spread the matter of being blamed. There are many wound medicines in the mansion, just use them to wipe it for me. But some flesh and blood wounds will be healed in two days.”

An's mother understood a little bit, so she had to ask Xie Fu to get the medicine. Thinking of today's incident, it was all caused by the daughter of the Ruan family. Speaking of you. I grew up watching you as a smart child. How could you do such a foolish thing this time? I don’t know that Ruan What kind of blessings did my daughter get from her previous life..."

Xie Zuiqiao was lying there, and when she heard Ming Yu's tone of dissatisfaction, she turned her head and said, "Mother An, she is an excellent girl. I was able to marry her not because of the blessings she cultivated in her previous life, but because of me." The blessings cultivated in the previous life are right."

Seeing his solemn expression when he spoke, Mother An froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.Suddenly hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, it turned out that Xie Jingzhu had come over with wound medicine in his hand.

Xie Jingzhu had already made up her mind, and when she arrived at Xie Zuiqiao's side, when she saw the wound on his back, where the skin and flesh were split open, the flesh was bloody, and the circles of his eyes turned red again, and said: "Brother, I was with dad just now, thinking of you If you want to come over, he asked me to bring you this wound medicine, saying that it is very good. You wipe it off quickly."

Xie Zuiqiao was startled, staring fixedly at the ointment on Xie Jingzhu's hand.

Xie Jingzhu hesitated for a while, finally plucked up the courage, and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't be angry with Dad. Even though he beat you, I just saw that he was very sad, sitting there facing the one left by mother before. Fu Zihua was in a daze and didn't say a word for a long time, it was very pitiful..."

Xie Zuiqiao also felt a little uncomfortable, took the ointment, and smiled at her: "Silly girl, I'm such an old man, how can I not know what Dad is thinking, and how can I be angry with him? I thank you just now, sister, Plead for me in front of my father. Don't laugh at me as my elder brother made a fool of himself today."

Xie Jingzhu shook her head slightly and said: "It's too late for me to feel distressed, how can I laugh at my brother. And if Sister Ruan knows..."

"Don't let her know about today's affairs, do you understand?"

Xie Zuiqiao said.

Xie Jingzhu saw that although he was lying there covered in bloodstains, he still smiled at Yanyan when he spoke. When he told herself, his tone was soft, but there was a hint of an order that she could not resist. She bit her lower lip and finally nodded.

After the wound medicine was brought, Mother An was anxious to apply it on him. Seeing the siblings talking non-stop, she hurriedly said to Xie Jingzhu: "Young master's injury is not serious, you need to apply the medicine earlier, the girl avoids it first." Down."

Xie Jingzhu agreed and hurriedly retreated.Mother An picked out the ointment and gently rubbed it on Xie Zuiqiao's back.When the wound touches the medicine, it is inevitable that there will be another burst of burning pain.Xie Zuiqiao held back and didn't make a sound, but Mama An frowned and hissed non-stop, as if it hurt her.After applying the medicine, seeing that his trouser waist was also stained with blood, he reached out to take off a clean pair of outer trousers for him, Xie Zuiqiao was so frightened that he jumped up from the couch and sat up, waving his hands repeatedly.

Mother An was a little sad at first, but seeing him sitting there with one hand tightly clutching the waist of his trousers, looking at herself with a blushing face, she couldn't help laughing, shaking her head and saying, "My son was raised by me when he was young. When I was eight years old, I was your mother and I took care of you in the shower. I have never seen it before. I just wanted to change your dirty pants for you..."

She was talking to herself, Xie Zuiqiao's face flushed even redder, he hurriedly stopped her and said, "I'll do it myself."

Mother An said: "It's inconvenient for you to scrub yourself."

"Just call Xie Fu over."

Mother An said dissatisfiedly: "Xie Fu has rough hands and feet, and he usually makes do with serving tea and water. Now that you are injured and inconvenient, how can he take good care of you? If the jade hairpin is still there, I naturally don't have to worry about it. But you sent her away again. If the young master doesn't want me to serve you, I'll send another careful girl over. I'm a big man, and I don't have anyone capable of serving me, how can I rest assured!"

Xie Zuiqiao gradually calmed down, sat up straight and smiled, "You can't bring maids into the camp. I'm used to having Xie Fu serve me. My mother sent a maid now, but I'm not used to it. I just have a baby on my back. Injury, but the hands and feet are not broken, so mother is at ease."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, An's mother had no choice but to agree, and told Xie Fu repeatedly before leaving with a sigh.

According to Xie Zuiqiao's thoughts, he would naturally wish to leave as soon as possible, even his own flesh and blood injuries would be nothing to worry about.But he also knows that the step of proposing marriage must be carried out by his father.It was so easy to get a word from him, now I don't dare to urge him to make him unhappy, I can only suppress my anxiety and wait patiently.It was five or six days after my father finished his unhurried visit with many colleagues.

Xie Zuiqiao couldn't help it, he couldn't ask, so he entrusted Xie Jingzhu to find out.Xie Jingzhu came back and said happily: "Brother, Dad said that he is preparing all kinds of things for the door-to-door marriage proposal. If there is no shortage, let someone say behind his back. Besides, my brother's injury is not healed yet, so I will leave in a few days."

Five or six days passed in a blink of an eye, Xie Zuiqiao was young and strong, and his wounds had already healed.Seeing that his father was still standing still, he couldn't hold back and asked Xie Jingzhu to ask again. This time Xie Jingzhu came back and said: "Brother, father said that the grandfather is going to resign from office, and he is taking this opportunity to go south to meet Mrs. Jiang. A few days."

The legendary few days passed again, this time it was changed to wait for the release of the spring election list of the most beautiful girls in the palace, so that Xie Mingrou could go down to Jiangzhou together.More than half a month has passed, and in March, when the grass grows and the warblers fly, Xie Zuiqiao, who has been coming and going in the general's mansion and the garrison camp, waiting eagerly, finally waited for his father to say in a leisurely manner: everything is settled , go south tomorrow.
