C233 Jadeite in the pit (1/2)
There was a very small window on the wall of the gatehouse, barely enough for a lookout.
Jiang Xiaobai immediately recognized that this group of cavalry was actually also from Locust Tree Slope.
”Not good, the bandits are here!” The Elder Chenshu was scared out of his wits, he immediately picked up the staff and was prepared to knock the door open, at the same time shouting: ”Young miss, quickly go, quickly run away to Bao Zhou! This old servant can't run anymore, but I can still circle around for a while! ”
”Don't be nervous Elder Chenshu, they are one of us!” Jiang Xiaobai smiled as he stopped the Elder Chenshu, ripped off the top of the door, opened the door, and asked the people outside: ”Why are you here?”
The soldiers immediately recognized Jiang Xiaobai and anxiously dismounted.
”Master!”
”Marshal!” Everyone saluted, but the way they addressed him was not the same.
”Reporting to Master, it was Madre who told us to come. It was the emperor who told us to come. ” The leader of the three squads said: ”emperor said that there is a Wei Family Villa in the West City, and that there is a large family there. The male owner's name is Wei Nancheng, and the eldest miss is Wei Qiuyue. emperor wants us to invite the first wife of this family for a chat. ”
It was clear that after Wei Nancheng was brought to the County Yamen, the Widow Chen had immediately sent people over to the Wei Family Villa.
”The First Lady has gone on a long journey, but the Eldest Miss is still here!” Jiang Xiaobai pulled Wei Qiuyue over and said, ”Qiu Yue, didn't you want to go see your father? Follow them.
”Husband, they are …” Wei Qiuyue was afraid of these people.
”Don't be afraid, she's one of my people. To be exact, it was Big Sister Yuzhu who called you over.” Jiang Xiaobai patted Wei Qiuyue's shoulder and said: ”Your father, Wei Nancheng, was also invited by Big Sister Yuzhu, and he is inside the County Yamen.”
”It's true!” Wei Qiuyue was overjoyed, and immediately said: ”Husband, quickly, let's go together.”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, and said: ”You can go by yourself, and listen to Sister Yuzhu's arrangements. I still have other things to do, so I'll head back first. ”
The fact that the Widow Chen was the first to arrive at every corner made Jiang Xiaobai a little frustrated. He was actually embarrassed to go to the city.
”I'm going alone?” Wei Qiuyue pouted. Although she was unwilling, she did not dare to disobey, and could only lower her head and board the carriage the soldiers had brought.
Third Squad Leader asked: ”Master, aren't you going back with us?”
”I'm not going anymore.” Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, ”Be careful on your way here and protect Miss Wei. Also, you tell Mademoiselle... Eh, emperor, be careful of your safety, if there is anything you need, you can find Feng Tianbao! ”
”I choked to death!” Third Squad Leader stood at attention, saluted, and led his men to mount their horses before quickly heading towards Yi Zhou City.
”This is … Gone? ” Until the group disappeared from sight, only then did Elder Chenshu look at Jiang Xiaobai suspiciously, and asked: ”Master, you are... ”Just now, I heard Eldest Miss call you 'Darling'. Don't tell me you guys …”
”It could be considered a private marriage.” Jiang Xiaobai could only accept it, and said: ”Thank you Elder Chenshu for helping watch the house. In the future, Qiu Yue and I will definitely repay you well. Also, you don't have to worry about what happens in the city. Those aren't bandits, they are … My... A friend. ”
”So it's Young Master!” Elder Chenshu immediately knelt down and saluted.
”Uncle Chen is too polite, quickly get up!” Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly helped Elder Chenshu up, pointed to the three bags they brought, and said: ”These things are all local specialties that Qiu Yue brought from our side. Since both her parents are not here, take it. ”
”This is too much, too much! These are all treasures!” Elder Chenshu stared at the contents of the bag and couldn't recognize any of it.
However, based on his fifty to sixty years of life experience, he concluded that these things were all valuable treasures.
If First Miss really went to the Celestial Realm, wouldn't that mean she was brought there by Celestial Realm?
”Take it.” The food was kept by the Elder Chenshu. In addition, there were Wei Qiuyue's clothes and cosmetics, which she would help to look after. She would wait for Wei Qiuyue to come back later to retrieve them.
