Chapter 276: Ande County Mansion
Xue Jinyi held the old lady's hand, although it was hot, there was an ice box in the corner of the carriage, so it was quite cool.
"Grandmother, let's check carefully here, don't you worry that they won't be able to show their feet?"
Old Madam Xue felt a little comforted, and nodded: "Sun Suci is thinking about regaining the power of the inner house. The more secure I am here, the more anxious she must become. ”
Seeing some worry in her granddaughter's eyes, she narrowed her eyes and smiled kindly.
"If there is something about the cold bone grass, I will double my guard against Sun Suci and them. The Weiguo Mansion is the place of the Xue family, how can those small nights make waves! ”
"Well, Grandmother, you have to be careful." Xue Jinyi not only cares about the safety of Mrs. Xue, but also hopes that with the old lady in the Weiguo Mansion, she can do things more at ease and smoothly, "If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell Jinyi." ”
Old Madam Xue sighed: "After going through so many things, the person I can trust the most is you, so naturally I don't dare to hide anything from you." In the same way, if there is any trouble on your side, tell me, and I know some people outside. ”
Xue Jinyi raised the corners of her lips and smiled brightly.
Old Madam Xue's eyes widened, and then more love and pity appeared in her eyes.
"Your mother's spirit in heaven would be very relieved and happy to see you as you are." At the mention of this, she couldn't help but touch the corners of her eyes, if Bai Yu was still alive, how could there be so many things now? "And your father, he will definitely feel even more guilty and blame himself for neglecting for more than ten years."
Xue Jinyi looked at the old lady and said seriously: "I hope my father can be proud of me." ”
She has already taken advantage of Wei Guogong's guilt and self-blame, and then she should have new feelings, after all, Wei Guogong Xue Zhao is a battle-hardened general!
His feelings and guilt for his deceased wife are of course important, but he has sought supreme glory for the Xue family, and he also values whether the glory of the Xue family can be passed down for generations.
The dim light in the carriage could not be like this The brilliance in Xue Jinyi's eyes was shining, and Old Madam Xue saw it in her eyes and nodded with satisfaction and relief.
"Okay, the future of the Weiguo Mansion depends on you and Xue Huai."
The carriage drove forward smoothly, and when it turned into Huaizhenfang, where the Zifu of Ande County was located, the road was blocked by the carriages, sedan chairs, and pedestrians of various families.
"It seems that the Ande County Government has invited a lot of people, and I haven't had such a lively time for a long time." Old Madam Xue straightened her sleeves, "Suddenly a little nervous." ”
"You are the old lady Xue of the Weiguo Mansion," Xue Jinyi pretended to owe the old lady, "Everyone respects and loves you." ”
Old Madam Xue was amused by her appearance, and felt a lot more relaxed.
She was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sudden noise of exclamations outside.
"Catch him, don't disturb the nobles!"
This sentence was also said in vain, and the screams came one after another, and the maid Fuxiang, who went to see the situation, that is, Fuyun in the past, lifted the curtain and said softly: "Old lady, miss, the guards are already in the way, and they will not let that madman disturb you." The people from the Yamen of Daxing County are arresting people, and the commotion will soon subside. ”
"Who are you going to catch?" Old Madam Xue was a little dissatisfied, and asked, "Knowing that the Ande County Zifu held a birthday banquet today, why did you still ask the madman to run into Huaizhen Fang?" ”
Xue Jinyi lifted the curtain slightly and looked out onto the street.
A man with a cloak of hair smeared with oil under his feet scurried between the carriages and sedan chairs, causing a burst of exclamations everywhere he went, and his mouth was still screaming, sounding like he was crying, and it seemed to be very painful.
Old Madam Xue leaned over and looked, "Although the clothes on her body are tattered and full of blood, it is only the rich and noble people who can afford to wear silk and satin." ”
Xue Jinyi also noticed it, but unfortunately the man's messy hair covered his face, and he couldn't see his appearance.
Under the chase of the yamen's men and horses, the madman ran harder, and when he saw the carriage of the Weiguo Mansion approaching, the guards were guarding their unsheathed swords in front of them.
"Woo-woo-" The madman approached, and the cry became clearer.
Xue Jinyi frowned slightly, "This voice sounds a little familiar. ”
"You recognize?" Old Madam Xue was surprised.
"Catch him!" Xue Jinyi shouted.
Two guards rushed forward head-on, grabbed the madman on the left and right, and pinned him to the ground.
"Pull his hair." Xue Jinyi said again.
She couldn't help but gasp as she watched the guards neatly ruffle the madman's hair, revealing a face covered in mud, blood swelling on her lips, and a hollow mouth without a tongue when she screamed.
"It's not ......"
When Old Madam Xue heard this, she was even more convinced that her granddaughter knew this madman, and hurriedly asked, "Jinyi, who is he?" ”
Xue Jinyi shook her head and ordered the guards, "Give him to the people of the Yamen." ”
"Yes!"
She lowered the curtain and said to Old Madam Xue with a serious face: "He is the one who shouted to buy a shop before, and the black market boy who was with him was involved with the Sun family. I thought he was killed by the black market, but I didn't expect it to be crazy......"
It seems that he should have been tortured and gone crazy, and the money was cheated out of the black market?
She shook her head, "Life is better than death, evil will be rewarded." ”
"It's a pity that Rao is our Weiguo Mansion, and we can't easily get into trouble with the black market," Mrs. Xue said: "Otherwise, catch that person, bring out some people in the black market, and interrogate them about what they have to do with the Sun family, and things will be much easier in the future." ”
Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't you have to add unnecessary trouble to our own family in order to deal with the Sun family, hurt the enemy by one thousand and damage eight hundred?" ”
Old Madam Xue laughed, "What Jinyi said makes sense. ”
Xue Jinyi glanced at the street again, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she ordered the guards next to the car.
Soon, the Daxing County Commander came to the side of the carriage, and there was a riot on the street, and it was reasonable for each family to ask the people of the yamen.
"Princess Chu is good."
"Qiu Mingfu, that madman has some disputes with my shop, please make sure he stays alive." Xue Jinyi said softly, feeling that Boss Gong might come in handy in the future.
Daxing County Commander responded: "Yes, the lower officials understand." ”
"It's troublesome Qiu Mingfu." Xue Jinyi smiled and nodded.
The matter of Mrs. Teng last time made the Daxing County Commander have a good impression of Princess Chu, and felt that this madman was involved in the case again, and Princess Chu must be able to reason about the case again. He couldn't help but say happily: "Princess Chu is polite. ”
With the madman being arrested, order was finally restored on the road, and it wasn't long before the carriage stopped at the gate of the Zifu in Ande County.
Old Madam Xue personally helped her granddaughter tidy up her skirt, and said proudly: "Let everyone see how beautiful our eldest lady of the Weiguo Mansion is now." ”
Xue Jinyi smiled confidently, and her fingers brushed over the tuanhua jade pendant that Pu Yangxuan gave her, "Grandmother, Jinyi helps you." ”
Mrs. Fan, who was waiting at the door, saw that it was the carriage of the Weiguo Mansion, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Princess Chu is good, Old Madam Xue is good." ”
When the other ladies and ladies who had already arrived at the door heard this, they also looked at it.
The old lady hasn't attended this kind of party for many years, and I feel that it's not just Mrs. Xue who is sick in the Weiguo Mansion?
In the gaze that gathered like a spotlight, Xue Jinyi stepped on the wheel calmly, and then slowly raised her head, letting the bright sunlight fall all over her body.
There were cries of surprise from the crowd.
"Old Madam Xue, which of your granddaughters is this?"
