Chapter 167 Han Jianye Returns
Yuxi is very busy. There were already a lot of things, but now more than 20,000 mu of land has been added. This will be the season of planting, there are many things to do, and her restaurant in Yucheng is about to open again. Although she didn't plan to go there in person, the arrangements had to be made.
Sitting on the chair, Yu Xi said very tiredly: "I really wish I could have the technique of splitting my body." She was so tired that she fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Mother Xi stepped forward, squeezed Yuxi's shoulders, and said softly: "Madam, let the people below handle these matters, why bother to work so hard."
Although Yuxi was tired, she never complained, and said: "It's better to have something to do than to stay in the house." Thinking of her previous life, she was locked in the house all day long with nothing to do, and passed the time by making embroidery every day . In this life, she would rather be busy and tired than live a mediocre life like her previous life.
Mother Xi didn't speak any more, but carefully kneaded Yuxi's shoulders. Mother Xi's handicrafts are top-notch, and it's so comfortable that Yuxi squinted her eyes and fell asleep.
Zijin hurried in and woke up the sleeping Yuxi. Zijin complained: "Madam, why don't you sleep in the house if you want to sleep? Sleeping here, you will catch a cold."
Mother Xi was a little speechless, she was so big and alive that she was massaging his wife, yet she was directly ignored by Zijin.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Mother Xi is so good at crafting, she pinched my shoulder and made me fall asleep. By the way, Zijin, what's the matter with you running in in such a hurry? "
Zi Jin hurriedly said: "Ma'am, the second master is here, and he is watching Zao Zao in the front yard!" Han Jianye knew that Zao Zao was at Huo Changqing's place, so he went directly to see Zao Zao. As for Yuxi, there is no rush to watch it later.
Yu Xi was pleasantly surprised, and said, "Second brother is here?" After speaking, she stood up and walked quickly towards the front yard.
Before entering the yard, I heard Zao Zao giggling. When Yuxi walked in, she saw Han Jianye playing with jujube on her head. Not only was that girl not afraid, but she was also very happy.
Yuxi really felt that she was born wrong, this is not a girl, she should be a kid! How dare the girl be so courageous, really.
Yuxi greeted Huo Changqing first, then smiled and said to Han Jianye: "Second brother, I thought you would come over after you finished your filial piety!"
Zao Zao looked at Yu Xi and stretched out her hands to hug her. Han Jianye smiled and handed the jujube to Yuxi, and said, "This child, I'd better kiss you!"
When Mother Lan heard this, she felt that the second master of her family had committed another crime. If this child doesn't kiss his mother, who else will he kiss!
Huo Changqing waved his hands and said, "You brothers and sisters chat slowly, and I just happened to go out for a walk." Huo Changqing can walk now, but not as smoothly as before.
It must be inappropriate for the two brothers and sisters to talk in Huo Changqing's yard. Yuxi immediately held Zaozao and took Han Jianye back to the backyard.
Back in the backyard, Yuxi said to Han Jianye: "Second brother, drink a cup of tea first, and I'll come out later." There was no way, Zaozao kept hugging her arms, if she didn't feed this girl, she wouldn't Find a way to talk to Han Jianye.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yuxi changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom. Seeing Han Jianye sitting on a chair drinking tea patiently, a smile appeared on Yuxi's face, and she asked, "Brother, is your mother still in good health recently?" okay?"
Han Jianye nodded and said: "Mother is in good health. You told her to move around more and not stay in the house all the time. Now as long as it doesn't rain, she will go to the garden four times a day." If you want Han Jianye to say, Yuxi's words are comparable to the two of them. It works better for my son.
Seeing that Qiu Shi has been insisting on what she said, Yuxi smiled and said: "That's good." Only a healthy body can live a long and healthy life.
Han Jianye suddenly lowered his face, and said to Yuxi: "Yuxi,
Brother, I'm sorry for you. "
After hearing this, Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Second Brother, how do you say this properly? Did something happen?"
Han Jianye was dumbfounded by Yuxi's words, and said, "I mean, I couldn't be by your side to protect you when you were in the most difficult time. My brother is really incompetent." He didn't know much about Yucheng. Afterwards, the crisis in Yucheng has been resolved.
Yuxi laughed and said: "What are you talking about? It's not intentional. And it's been such a long time, so don't say any more."
Zi Jin interjected: "Second Master, there is no need to talk about these sad topics, or my wife may have nightmares again. You should talk about happy things!"
Seeing Yuxi's radiant appearance, Han Jianye stopped talking about this disappointing topic: "Mother made a suit of clothes for Zaozao herself, and I asked someone to bring them in." This time Han Jianye didn't bring many things here, only three boxes. The boxes are full of things to eat, to play with, and nothing left behind that can be found.
Yuxi's eyes turned red, and she said: "Mother is so old, and she is still worrying, my daughter is really unfilial." She wanted to be filial to Qiu's family for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that now she would not be able to see each other all year round.
Han Jianye said: "That's good, why did you cry?" Therefore, women are inexplicable and love to cry, just like her daughter-in-law, who always cries at every turn, and doesn't know what to cry for.
Seeing Han Jianye's bewildered look, Yuxi couldn't help but burst out laughing. This second brother is still as cute as ever!
Han Jianye muttered, "I don't know why you are crying and laughing?" It's really hard to understand why you cry and laugh.
Yuxi was a little helpless, and immediately changed the subject. Fortunately, the second brother is like this right in front of him. If he goes out like this, he will have to worry to death: "Second brother, what are you looking for this time?" He is a fourth-rank official.
Han Jianye said: "It's the leader of the fourth rank." Now Yucheng is short of generals. Although Han Jianye has not improved his military achievements, it will be because there are too many vacancies, and no one will pick this reason.
Yu Xi said with a smile: "If He Rui knows that you are here, he must be very happy." Speaking of this, after a pause, Yu Xi asked: "Second brother, do you want to call Lu Sange to eat together? Have a meal." Lu Lin visited Yun Mansion on the first day, and once in the middle. All in all, the number of times is pitifully small.
Han Jianye was also a little moved: "Prepare me some good wine. I heard that the wine in your wine shop is very delicious. This time, let me drink it to my heart's content." Although his filial piety is full, But the filial piety between his mother and elder brother is not yet full, so he can't eat meat and drink.
Yu Xi didn't object to Han Jianye's drinking, but said, "I'll drink four taels for you, is there too much?" Han Jianye's alcohol capacity is very good, if he drinks freely, he can drink more than a catty and a half of soju. Yuxi didn't dare to let him drink to his heart's content.
Han Jianye said with a sullen face: "Four taels is too little, let's just six taels!" If it was too much, he also knew that Yu Xi would not allow it.
Yuxi nodded and said: "Then drink six taels, no more. After drinking, take a shower and sleep, and take another day off tomorrow, and then go to the military camp the next day."
Han Jianye smiled and said, "They've all become housekeepers."
The two brothers and sisters talked about what happened during the year of parting. Han Jianye knew about Yuxi's stay in Yucheng without Yuxi's telling. Yuxi, on the other hand, is not clear about the affairs of the capital.
Han Jianye said to Yuxi: "Let me tell you, Princess Qingyang is dead, and the three generations of the Qiao family are gone. Now only the Lord of Heshou County is left in the Qiao family. But the Lord of Heshou County has also been imprisoned by His Highness the Crown Prince. I guess she won't live long." Such a vicious woman deserves to die. I just hate that he doesn't have enough skills, otherwise he really wants to know this woman himself.
Yuxi was very surprised, and asked: "How did the four grandparents of the Qiao family die? Could it be the plague?" Except for the plague, it is impossible for the whole family to die! Of course, there is another possibility, that is, being plotted by someone. But Princess Qingyang can no longer be favored by the emperor and the prince. She is also a member of the royal family, and ordinary people would not attack Princess Qingyang.
Han Jianye shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, the Qiao family's evil will be rewarded with evil." After finishing speaking, he explained the reasons for the death of the Qiao family's grandparents and grandchildren. After finishing speaking, he said: "Speaking of which, the death of Princess Qingyang is the most bizarre. She passed away in her sleep. Do you know? Because of our enmity with the Qiao family, they even suspected that the four members of the Qiao family were my eldest brother." Killed him? Later, it was rumored that it was Yuchen who killed him?" There were all kinds of messy rumors, which made him very upset.
Yu Xi heard a shock from behind, if it was Han Jianming's murderous hand, Yu Xi still didn't believe it. But if it is Yuchen, it is possible. Thinking this way in her heart, but not showing it on the face, Yu Xi deliberately said: "I don't know who is behind the back of the Han family and Yu Chen."
Han Jianye said: "Who says it's not? In addition to this, some people say that Yuchen killed a girl from a merchant's family named Cai in the south of the Yangtze River. You said that with Yuchen's status, why would he kill a merchant's daughter? Then Don't you talk nonsense? I don't know what the people behind the scenes have in mind?" Han Jianye is someone who absolutely believes in his family.
When Yuxi heard about the girl from the Cai family in Jiangnan, her heart almost jumped out, and she couldn't help asking: "What's the name of the girl from the Cai family who was killed?" Don't be the person she was thinking of.
Han Jianye bowed his head and thought for a while, then said, "I don't know what it's called, but I know it's a girl from the Cai family, and she's a concubine." He wouldn't know any more. The main reason is that he thinks this rumor is boring, so naturally he won't investigate it.
When Yuxi heard that the concubine's heart was about to jump out, she said in a low voice: "Second brother, is that girl called Ba Niang Cai?"
Han Jianye thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems to be Cai Baniang..."
Yu Xi's hands trembled, and she asked, "Is that Miss Cai Ba really dead?" Seeing Han Jianye nodding, Yu Xi was terrified. How is it possible, how could Cai Baniang die? At this time in her previous life, the eighth girl of the Cai family had just started to become famous! It was only after that that so many rare and practical things came out. For example, the things that Heshou worked out, as well as the method she used to extract the purity of the wine, all came from this Cai Ba Niang.
Han Jianye saw that Yuxi's face was wrong, and asked, "Yuxi, do you know this eighth girl from the Cai family?" According to what he knew, Yuxi should have no intersection with this eighth girl from the Cai family! Because Yuxi has never been to Jiangnan, and the eighth girl of the Cai family has never been to the capital, at least until she died, she never set foot in the capital.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "I don't know her, and I've never seen her before." No matter in her previous life or in this life, she has never seen this eighth girl from the Cai family, and she has always only heard her name and didn't know her person.
Han Jianye said: "Since you don't know each other, don't take it to heart." In this world, death is really nothing. (to be continued)
