At this time, the door was pushed open with a "creak", and two maids walked in and asked respectfully, "Is this general awake?" Slaves and maidservants are waiting for you to wash and change your clothes. 【】”
"This ...... I can do it myself. Xia Nan said politely, stood up, but had a headache after a hangover, and felt a headache as soon as he stood up, so he hurriedly held his head and leaned on the side of the bed.
Seeing this, the two maids hurriedly came over to help him sit on the edge of the bed, and brought hot water to wipe his face.
After washing his face, he sat down and rested for a while, Xia Nan felt better, and tried to stand up, but his head didn't hurt as much as Fang Cai. He asked, "What about Lord Futai?" ”
The maid replied, "The master has gone to the front office to deal with official business, and has instructed us to serve you well." ”
After washing, Xia Nan pushed the door out of the wing room, wanted to breathe, and said goodbye to Mu Tianyan when he came back, and then went back to his house on Huifu Street. The two maids wanted to come over to help, but Xia Nan refused with a smile: "I'm just drunk, and I'm not recovering from a serious illness, so I'm not so empty." When the two maids saw that he insisted, they followed him from a distance.
Connecting the wings is a long hallway with a garden beyond. Although it is autumn at this time, there are still many flowers in full bloom in the garden, and the fragrance is refreshing. In the summer, Nan greedily inhaled a few mouthfuls of air with the fragrance of flowers, and it seemed that his head didn't hurt anymore, this governor would really enjoy it, and when he returned to Lingao, he would also build a garden for Nanyuan, engage in greening, and get a natural oxygen.
He stepped into the garden, admired the flowers and plants, turned a rockery, and a figure appeared in front of him.
This figure is delicate, with clouds of hair, and it is a young woman. The woman's back was to him, and she couldn't see her face. If you just look at the back, she is slender, light and feminine, and has a standard beauty figure.
The woman seemed to be admiring the flowers, and when she heard footsteps, she subconsciously looked back. At this look, both of them were stunned.
The woman did not expect a strange man to appear in her garden, and immediately frowned, and a look of surprise and displeasure appeared on her face.
Xia Nan was even more shocked, this woman actually looked exactly like the person in his dream yesterday, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin and picturesque eyebrows, and even the micro-expression of raising eyebrows when he was unhappy was carved out of a mold.
He never believed in ghosts and gods, he had always adhered to atheism, if he had ever seen this woman, he had thought about it day and night, and it was normal to dream in a dream, but the two had never seen it, and appeared in the dream in advance, this situation could not be explained by science at all.
But then again, something as outrageous as crossing has happened, and it seems like anything is possible.
The woman was surprised, but quickly regained her composure and turned to leave. Ancient women, especially ladies, were particular about their daily life and travel, and rarely met strangers, let alone strange men, and her reaction was normal.
If Xia Nan was given time to react, he would also think of this and let the other party leave. But in a hurry, he still had a reaction that only modern people have, and subconsciously stretched out his hand in the direction of the woman, explaining: "Miss, I'm not a villain, I'm your father's guest, and I accidentally broke into the garden and disturbed Miss's Yaxing, so don't be surprised!" ”
The woman paused and asked hesitantly, "My father?" ”
Xia Nan said with a smile: "Look at Miss's temperament, she has the taste of everyone's beautiful girl, naturally she is not a maid; Judging from her age, she is not Futai's wife and concubine, so most of them are Futai's daughters......"
The woman looked coldly at Xia Nan, who kept a gentlemanly smile, and said mockingly: "Although I don't know who you are, are you quite proud in your heart at the moment, and you can see my identity at a glance?" Why are you so self-righteous and think that I am the young lady of the Mu family? ”
Xia Nan "chuckled" in her heart, secretly screaming bad, look at this reaction, is it really Mu Tianyan's wife and concubine? Mu Tianyan is forty or fifty years old, this woman can't be a wife, is she a concubine? He secretly complained in his heart, he took it for granted too much, it was too normal for a man in his forties and fifties in ancient times to take a sixteen or seventeen-year-old concubine. If I knew this, I wouldn't have talked to her, this melon field is under the plum, it's too late to avoid suspicion, chatting with other people's wives and concubines in the garden will make others misunderstand.
He hurriedly apologized: "It turned out to be Mrs. Ru from Futai, I'm really sorry, I didn't say what I said before......" While saying it, he looked at the other party, it didn't seem to be right, with his countless experience in reading women in his previous life, this is clearly an untrained girl, where is it like a young woman? Could it be that Mu Tianyan is not very old, and his ability in this area has been completely lost, so he takes a concubine to use it as decorations?
The woman listened to his words, saw him looking up and down her eyes, felt that her whole body had been looked over, she was uncomfortable, her eyebrows frowned slightly, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she threw down a sentence with disdain: "What is like Madame?" Self-righteous disciples! Shi Shiran turned around and left, leaving Xia Nanleng on the spot.
At this time, the two maids came over and whispered to Xia Nan: "This is Miss Cousin, the master's niece......"
Xia Nan glared at them sadly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
The maid snorted: "Miss Cousin is very smart, and her temper is cold, we don't dare to talk nonsense in front of her......"
Xia Nan was speechless, and increased the amount with his hand, which was embarrassing and thrown to his grandmother's house, and he accosted him on a whim, and finally got the evaluation of a disciple.
He was embarrassed to stay any longer, and explained to the maid: "After Lord Futai came back, he said that I had an urgent matter to deal with, so I didn't say goodbye in person, and asked him to forgive the old man." Then he hurriedly left the governor's yamen.
After returning to the house on Huifu Street, Xia Nan ordered someone to call Zhou Guoxin to meet him.
It didn't take long for Zhou Guoxin to come, still coming in through the side door. Zhou Guoxin respectfully asked for peace, and at the same time thought angrily: He is a person with a face in Guangzhou City, unless there is a big man like Wei Zhongwei Qianhu from the capital, and who else can let him come and go as soon as he is called, and this is the master in front of him, and he is like a subordinate in the family, running back and forth in three days. The root of the tragedy lies in the damn mission of investigating the Qiongzhou battalion, how good it was to pretend to be sick and not accept this mission in the first place.
Xia Nan saw Zhou Guoxin's subtle expression, and vaguely guessed his thoughts in his heart, and asked without hurry: "Zhou Baihu, sister-in-law and noble son have been sent to Lingao, right?" Did you send a letter to me, saying that you are not accustomed to the water and soil? ”
At the same time as they came to Guangzhou, Zhou Guoxin's wife and concubine and son were sent to Lingao, and the operator was Lao Jia, who fled and fell into the sea with Zhou Guoxin - his own people were the most ruthless in rectifying their own talents, Lao Jia was also forced to serve in the Qiongzhou battalion after being captured, and he was eager to behave in front of the new master, and worked very the task of abducting the family members of his former boss.
