Chapter 062 Chapter 62 (Additional update)
Since you have decided to leave.
When Xu Duanyi woke up the next day, she told her personal maids about this incident.
Bi Xi and others naturally opposed her decision.
Yutian is in such a situation now that others can't even hide away, but their master insists on going there.
Shigure especially didn't understand.
She had no idea what Xu Duanyi was thinking about Xie Qingya, so she looked at Xu Duanyi and asked in confusion, "There are people who can deliver things, why did the master have to make this trip herself?"
"Yutian must be in chaos right now."
But is it so easy to change what Xu Duanyi has decided?
She said to them, "Okay, I'm determined to go. Bixi, pack my belongings for me. Just pick two comfortable clothes. You don't need to bring jewelry. They won't be needed. Xiuyu, go to Ping'an and Changning and tell them that I can't take them to Tzu Chi Hall this time. I'll take them there later. Then go tell Aunt Deng."
"I'm going to be away from home for a few days. Please ask her to take good care of the house."
"Master, what about me?"
Shi Yu, unwilling to be left behind, saw that her two good sisters had work to do but she did not. She could not care less and tried to stop her master from going to Yutian. Instead, she looked at Xu Duanyi and asked anxiously.
Xu Duanyi looked at her and said, "Come with me to Yutian."
Shi Yu was obviously very satisfied with this result. She was always straightforward and didn't think too much. As long as Xu Duanyi was willing to take her with him, she wouldn't say anything no matter where they went.
She had been strongly opposed just now, but now she immediately agreed.
He also took the initiative to say: "Then I will go in and pack my things first!"
After saying that, she took the initiative to go in first, and snatched away all the work assigned to Bi Xi.
After she left, Bixi and Xiuyu looked at Xu Duanyi without saying a word. They were both smart and guessed why Xu Duanyi wanted to go to Yutian.
Finally, Xiuyu also lowered her eyes, bowed in the direction of Xu Duanyi, and then retreated.
for a while.
Bixi was the only one left in the room.
This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. She looked at Xu Duanyi helplessly and wanted to dissuade him: "Master..."
Xu Duanyi also looked at her.
She just looked at him and said, "Since you know what I mean, there is no need to say more."
After saying this, Xu Duanyi saw Bixi's red lips stammer twice, but finally she lowered her head and nodded softly.
Xu Duanyi knew that she had agreed, so she waved to the person again.
After everyone came over, Xu Duanyi held Bixi's hand and continued to say to her: "Don't worry, Shiyu will follow me, and I won't go to that dangerous place. I will come back as soon as possible after seeing him."
Bixi knew that what she had decided could not be changed.
As servants, they can only try their best to do what they can and not cause trouble to their masters.
Therefore, Bixi did not insist any more, and said comfortingly: "I understand, I will keep a close eye on you in the mansion."
She knew that at a time like this, it wasn't good to have more people, nor did she have to go with them.
Rather than following the master.
It would be better for her to guard this rear area for her so that the master doesn't have to worry about the future.
When Xu Duanyi heard her say this, he smiled with relief.
As her eldest maid, Bixi has always been the calmest and most capable, capable of standing on her own.
Even if she's not here.
Bixi can also arrange things in an orderly manner.
What's more, now we have Xiuyu who is equally capable.
Xu Duanyi had nothing to explain to her, so she just said, "As for Changning and Ping'an, keep it a secret as usual. As for Aunt Deng..."
Xu Duanyi hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "If you really can't keep it a secret, it's okay to tell her. She will be able to help you after she knows."
Bixi replied, "Yes, I will save it."
Xu Duanyi added: "My aunt probably won't summon me in the near future. As for my cousin's wife... I'll write her a letter later and explain it to her briefly."
This sounds more like a soliloquy.
Things need to be decided quickly.
It would definitely be too late to talk to my cousin's wife in person.
And she also didn't know how to tell people face to face...
I don't know what my sister-in-law will think when she finds out.
I didn't even dare let my aunt know.
This is the first time she has made such a decision.
After more than ten years of following the rules, he is now doing something risky with uncertain results.
She herself still finds it a little unbelievable.
I wonder what Xie Qingya would think when he turns around and sees her?
Shocked?
Unhappy?
Xu Duanyi didn't know.
I thought of many bad thoughts, and after thinking of one, I couldn't help but retreat a little, but among these bad thoughts, there was still a trace of good thought.
They have been getting along quite well for a while.
Maybe Xie Qingya would be happy too?
For this reason, not sure if it was because he really wanted it, Xu Duanyi still wanted to persevere and go there in person.
If Xie Qingya didn't welcome it, she could just come back after she finished speaking.
Besides, the Tzu Chi Hall was there and had its own base, so she didn't need to disturb him.
Thank you for your welcome...
Then her trip was worthwhile.
My mind is still full of thoughts, and I don't know what the outcome will be.
But Xu Duanyi did not hesitate any longer.
This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. The peach tree outside the window is still blooming well. It should bear fruit in a while.
Looking back on her life over the past decade, it seems that every adventure in her life was related to Xie Qingya.
It was like this when I was a child.
This is how marriage works.
The same is true today.
But Xu Duanyi longed for it and enjoyed it very much.
The sun is shining brightly outside the window. Unlike the bad weather in Yutian now, the capital is still peaceful and sunny.
Xu Duanyi sat upright on the bed, closed his eyes, felt the sunlight shining on his body, took a deep breath and exhaled, and his mood became much more relaxed.
Things were packed up quickly.
Xu Duanyi didn't plan to stay there for too long, so Shi Yu and Bi Xi just packed two sets of light clothes for her to change into, as well as some personal belongings.
So as to avoid any inconvenience there.
However, the person who wanted to keep it secret failed to do so in the end.
Aunt Deng knew about this first.
She heard that Xu Duanyi was going out, so she came to express her condolences.
I also wanted to ask the princess where she was going and how many days she would be gone, in case she couldn't answer when the prince came back.
Later I knew that Xu Duanyi was going to Yutian.
Naturally, she was startled, and regardless of the difference in status, she spoke out to stop the person from going.
Later I learned that Xie Qingya was also in Yutian, and had even been there for nearly ten days.
Aunt Deng almost fainted.
At least I managed to hold on.
I also learned that Xu Duanyi went to Yutian just to celebrate someone's birthday.
Aunt Deng's emotions naturally began to become complicated again. She was excited, but also worried.
She naturally hoped that the relationship between the prince and princess would become deeper and deeper.
Aunt Deng almost wanted to cry for joy when the princess disregarded the danger and went to Yutian to accompany the prince.
I just feel that their prince has finally found someone who can care about him and love him.
But Yutian is too dangerous now.
Aunt Deng was afraid that something might happen if the princess went there like this, so she naturally had to persuade her.
It's good to have the intention.
But the prerequisite is to take good care of your body.
Aunt Deng still hoped that the princess could stay and not go to a dangerous place like Yutian.
But even Bi Xi and the other two couldn't persuade them, let alone her.
In the end, Aunt Deng could only give a few more instructions, asking them to be careful and come back early.
Xu Duanyi also agreed.
Xie Changning didn't think much about it.
She is naive by nature and can't think that deeply.
When she heard that her sister-in-law had something to do and would be away for a few days, she just thought that her sister-in-law had her own things to do. Although she felt sorry, she just agreed obediently and told her to go without worry, and she would stay at home well.
A well-behaved look that makes people feel at ease.
Xie Pingan noticed it.
Xu Duanyi met him on the way to the gatehouse with Shi Yu.
This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. When Xu Duanyi first met Xie Pingan on the road, he didn't think too much about it and just thought it was a chance encounter.
Until Ping An asked her——
"Sister-in-law, are you going to Yutian?"
Xu Duanyi was naturally shocked. She didn't know how Ping'an knew it. She couldn't tell Xiuyu, and Aunt Deng didn't dare to tell her.
Xu Duanyi couldn't help but asked, "How do you know?"
Xie Ping'an did not hide it. He lowered the curtain and said to Xu Duanyi: "I saw Aunt Deng crying and laughing earlier. I looked at the direction she came from and knew that Aunt Deng went to Linfeng Pavilion to look for my sister-in-law."
When Xu Duanyi heard him say this, he knew that he had guessed everything.
Know that he is smart.
But Xu Duanyi was still surprised that he could see the big picture from the small details to this extent.
But no matter how surprised she was, since he had already guessed it, Xu Duanyi did not hide it. She said softly, "I kept it a secret from you because I was afraid you would worry. We have to transport supplies to Yutian today, and I plan to go with you to take a look."
"You and Changning should stay at home. If you have any problems, talk to Changfeng and Aunt Deng. Bixi is also at home. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, don't try to deal with them by yourself. They can help you."
"I'll be back in a few days."
Xie Pingan nodded and said "OK", but still did not move away. Instead, he continued to bury his head and stood there. Just when Xu Duanyi thought that he had something else to say, he suddenly spoke hesitantly -
"Sister-in-law, is he... also in Yutian?"
This question is not clear.
But when Xu Duanyi saw the young man raise his head and look at her with slightly hesitant eyes, she immediately reacted and asked who this "he" was.
After hearing what he said before, Xu Duanyi was no longer surprised by his repeated actions.
She just looked at Xie Ping'an and hesitated for a moment.
She was torn between telling the truth to Ping An and keeping the secret that Xie Qingya asked her to keep.
In the end, Xu Duanyi acquiesced under the silent gaze of the young man in front of him.
"……yes."
Peace is not eternal tranquility.
Although he is still young, he is already very responsible.
There's no need to hide everything from him.
Moreover, she also hoped to change her misunderstanding of Xie Qingya.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Xu Duanyi told Xie Pingan the truth: "He was afraid that you would worry, so he didn't tell the truth."
"I left ten days ago."
"I went there this time because I wanted to spend his birthday with him."
"Why ..."
The boy's eyes were confused and his voice was like a delirium.
Most people might not be able to immediately know what Xie Ping'an meant by "why", but Xu Duanyi understood it immediately after looking at the boy's confused eyes.
She was silent for a while, looked at the boy opposite her, and said, "Maybe he is not what you see."
The words fell.
The young man raised his head again and looked at her.
His eyes were still full of confusion.
It seems even more confused than before.
Xu Duanyi knew why he was confused.
But there are some things that she herself doesn't really understand, so naturally she can't give too much explanation.
After a while, he saw the boy lower his head again, so he took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything to say? Do you want me to help pass it to him?"
Xie Pingan hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
Faced with this result, Xu Duanyi was not surprised.
Some things are already deeply rooted.
It is naturally impossible to ask him to change suddenly.
"Then I'll go first."
Xu Duanyi thought about it, and then said to Xie Pingan: "Pingan, don't tell Changning about this for now."
She was afraid that Changning would worry.
Xie Pingan knew what she meant, nodded, and said yes in a low voice.
He also didn't want his younger sister to worry.
He stepped out of the way.
He lowered his head to let Xu Duanyi pass.
But just as Xu Duanyi was about to pass by him, he suddenly heard the young man's hesitant voice again: "If it's not a bother, sister-in-law, then... please have someone prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for him."
Xu Duanyi stopped and looked sideways.
The young man still had his head down, his eyes looking into the distance, and his voice was filled with a vague sense of nostalgia.
"Every time we had birthdays, my parents would prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for us."
In recent years.
Every time it’s his and Changning’s birthday, Aunt Deng would still prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for them as usual.
But Xie Qingya would stay out drunk on this day every year and come back the next day.
I guess I won’t be able to eat the longevity noodles.
He spoke subconsciously, and when he regained his senses, he thought of Yutian's current situation.
Xie Pingan frowned, and before Xu Duanyi could speak, he was about to say, "If you have any trouble, then -"
The word "forget it" hasn't been uttered yet.
Xie Pingan heard his sister-in-law beside him saying to him, "I just don't know what to give him. Thank you Pingan for giving me such a good idea."
Xu Duanyi said this to him with a smile, she really didn't know what to give as a gift.
Inappropriate identity.
No matter what I give as a gift, it seems inappropriate.
The gift is too small and meaningless.
The gift is too expensive and seems inappropriate.
Longevity noodles are a very good choice.
Xie Pingan felt relieved when he heard this.
Looking up and seeing the gentle face opposite him, Xie Pingan said nothing more. He just took two steps back and bowed solemnly. Then, under Xu Duanyi's gaze, he said to the other person: "Sister-in-law, take care of yourself. I will take care of Changning."
And then left here first.
Xu Duanyi watched him leave until he could no longer see the boy. Then he withdrew his gaze and said to Shi Yu beside him, "Let's go too."
…
In the evening, Yutian County.
It rained for half a month in a row and finally stopped.
It has been ten days since Xie Qingya came to Yutian.
When he first came to Yutian, he was very aggressive and made many decisions at once.
He fought his way through the battlefield.
Know what to do when faced with such a situation.
Isolation measures and health and epidemic prevention are top priorities. If a house collapses, you can rebuild it. If the economy goes into recession, you can find other ways to deal with it. But if an epidemic occurs at this time, it will be a heavy blow.
What's more, Cao Da is watching with eager eyes.
Even though Chai Shou was there to help watch over him, there was no guarantee that something else might happen.
At this time, any small problem may become a big problem.
Therefore, Xie Qingya had people watching him these days, for fear that someone would have a fever and be infected with the disease. If the rest of the people were infected as well, it would be the end of them.
Fortunately, the supplies provided by the capital city were not in short supply this time.
It was almost the third day since he arrived in Yutian when people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue arrived one after another.
The Ministry of Works came to build houses and repair dams.
The reason why this flood was so severe was that the original dam project was not done properly due to shoddy work, otherwise it would not have caused such a serious disaster.
The Ministry of Revenue was responsible for providing money and supplies.
In addition to them, Tzu Chi Hall has also sent several waves of supplies.
Xu Duanyi would almost always ask someone to send him letters from home, as well as clothes, food and drinks along with his supplies.
The letters from home only talked about Changning and Ping'an, but not about her.
With money, food, and medicine, the disasters that once threatened lives no longer seemed so terrifying.
At least it was much better than when Xie Qingya first arrived in Yutian.
When Xie Qingya first arrived in Yutian, it was no exaggeration to say that the situation here was horrific.
The former Yutian County Magistrate, seeing the situation getting worse and worse, submitted a love letter from Chen, secretly sent his family out of Yutian, and committed suicide at home.
Therefore, before Xie Qingya came, Yutian County was in a terrible state.
There was no one in charge at the top, and the people below didn't know what to do. There was no money and no food. The people thought they were abandoned. Those who could leave left, and those who stayed behind were either old, sick, or injured and unable to leave.
Xie Qingya came from the capital at night on horseback.
It was early morning when we arrived in Yutian.
As soon as he entered Yutian, he felt a strong smell of death.
The road was covered with mud after the rain, and the houses on both sides were almost all collapsed by the flood and turned into ruins.
The crying seemed to have stopped, leaving only a heavy atmosphere of death.
Men, women, old and young sat on the ground along the street, and everyone's face was filled with dullness.
Until the sound of horse hooves woke them up.
A group of numb people suddenly rushed towards Xie Qingya and his servants as if they saw hope for life.
Everyone was reaching out to them, crying and begging, asking them for food.
Fortunately, on the way here, Xie Qingya had guessed the environment here and actually prepared some dry food in advance.
Let them share it.
Otherwise, I might not even be able to enter the county government office and would be blocked at the entrance with the plaque.
The same is true at the county government office.
Zhixian is dead.
The county magistrate ran away.
Only a young chief clerk and an elderly teacher were left, and the runners and clerks under him were all half dead.
When Xie Qingya saw this situation, he no longer cared whether he would be discovered by Cao Da and others.
The situation is urgent.
Human life is at stake.
Even if we are discovered, there is nothing we can do.
He gathered all the people who could be used.
He had led soldiers on the battlefield and had experienced life and death. He knew how to give people hope in times of despair.
He first made a plan.
The dead bodies must be burned first to avoid causing epidemics. The collapsed houses must be rebuilt, and the sick must be taken care of together and treated by doctors first.
At Xieqing Cliff in Yutian County.
He didn't consider himself a prefect, let alone a prince.
He and Lingji did all the planning and hard work first, even moving corpses.
He knew this time.
If he doesn't do anything and just talks, it will be impossible for him to win the support of the people.
He started it.
The dead air in Yutian finally disappeared.
After all, the people here are all native Yutian people. They want to rebuild their homeland more than anyone else and hope that Yutian will get better.
Afterwards, in addition to the people from the county government, young and strong men also began to help.
Later -
Women, the elderly, and children also joined in.
Even if I can't do heavy or tiring work, I will try my best to do what I can.
However, ever since Li Wengao and Mei Xuezheng came to Yutian one after another, Xie Qingya acted like a hands-off manager and handed over all the coordination and instructions to Mei Xuezheng.
I mingle among the crowd every day.
Helping to move things, carry people, and build houses.
The common people did not know his identity, they only knew that he was an official in the capital, but since they saw him hanging out with them every day, they naturally thought that his position was not high.
As for the rest of the people who knew Xie Qingya's identity.
In the current environment of Yutian, there are so many things to do that we can barely take care of ourselves, so who can take care of others?
This day.
Xie Qingya was building a house with a group of men.
He never complained about the hardship and fatigue of these tasks, nor did he ever feel tired.
It's good to have hope.
Just like these local people.
With hope comes expectation for the future. Especially since the houses they are building now will be for themselves to live in in the future, they naturally dare not neglect or waste time.
Every citizen of Yutian was very excited.
I just felt like my whole body was filled with strength.
Especially the weather has been clear these two days.
The sun was shining directly overhead, and the original negative and bad energy seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Everyone's face was filled with smiles again.
No longer as numb as before.
Some people even started singing duets.
They are all local songs of Yutian.
He never stopped working, as he couldn't wait to finish building the house so he could move in right away.
Xie Qingya does not know these local songs.
But after attending the classes for so many days, he gradually learned to hum a little.
At this moment he was humming a tune while he was laying stones.
He seems to be in a good mood.
After hearing this, a big brother next to him smiled and handed him a bowl of tea, saying to him, "Your Excellency will also sing our songs. When the disaster is over, we have decided to have a bonfire banquet. You must come then."
They didn't know Xie Qingya's identity and had gotten used to getting along with him.
I felt that this gentleman, although he looked dignified, was very approachable, so I was not that afraid of him.
"Okay."
"Call me when the time comes."
After Xie Qingya finished speaking with a smile, he put down the stone in his hand, took the tea he handed to him, then tilted his head back and took a few big gulps.
It's not a great tea, but it's refreshing and thirst-quenching.
It's the perfect time to drink.
"Thank you," he said, and put the tea bowl aside, intending to continue working.
Someone brought food.
Since Xie Qingya came, the local people saw hope and began to unite.
Today, strong men build houses.
Women and the elderly either cook or deliver food or help out in the pharmacy. Almost everyone has something to do.
The person who delivered the meal today was a young girl.
The girl was the daughter of a doctor and usually helped out in the pharmacy, but ever since Xie Qingya came here, she was most likely one of the people who came here to deliver meals.
"Brother, it's time to eat."
After the girl finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards Xie Qingya, her eyelids slightly lowered, looking shy and timid.
It's a pity that her charming eyes were all thrown to a blind man.
Xie Qingya didn't notice it at all and continued to pile up stones.
When the girl brought the meal to him and said softly, "Sir, eat first," he just glanced at it and saw two leek pancakes on top, and frowned secretly.
He hates leeks the most.
However, he naturally did not dislike this kind of environment.
He didn't want to cause too much trouble.
Xie Qingya said "thank you" but did not take it immediately.
It just so happens that he is not hungry at the moment.
I plan to go back and eat some buns when I get hungry.
The girl felt a little awkward when she saw him take it. She wanted to talk to him again and persuade him to eat, but she didn't dare to.
However, some older brothers next to him saw what the girl was thinking and wanted to help her, so they deliberately brought up the topic.
It would also be a good idea to ask about the situation for the little girl.
The elder brother who had delivered water to Xie Qingya asked him earlier, "Have you found a husband in the capital?"
When the girl heard this, she immediately pricked up her ears.
His eyes also quietly continued to drift towards Xie Qingya's direction.
How could Xie Qingya know what they were thinking?
He was still working on the stone, but when he heard this, he suddenly stopped moving.
After a while, he hummed softly and replied, "Yes."
This was something no one had expected, and the little girl's face changed instantly.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Qingya seemed to have finally realized that something was wrong with the surroundings. He raised his eyebrows and looked over, smiling, "Is my marriage something strange?"
"I'm already twenty-one this year."
"Many people my age are already fathers."
"No, it's not strange." The eldest brother who had spoken originally smiled awkwardly, "I just thought that you are so good-looking, and I don't know what kind of beauty your wife must be to be worthy of you."
"A fairy?"
Xie Qingya savored the word.
After a while, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "She is indeed worthy of being called a fairy."
"But if we're talking about whether we're worthy of each other, it's me who's not worthy of her."
Spending so much time together.
Although everyone was used to seeing this adult laughing, he usually either smiled heartily or indifferently, and rarely showed such a gentle expression.
It looked as if all the sharpness in the person had been eliminated.
Even those eyes were full of smiles.
Not to mention that girl, even these rough guys could sense his love for his heavenly wife.
I don't know when the girl put down her things and left quietly.
The eldest brother who had spoken originally looked at Xie Qingya and said, "It seems that the master likes your wife very much."
Xie Qingya did not answer this time.
Of course he likes it, but sometimes, liking something is of no use.
He smiled and continued to work.
Someone else said, "I really want to see your wife."
This is obviously impossible.
Xie Qingya just smiled and did not respond.
Little did he know that his celestial wife had already entered the city and would soon meet him.
