Chapter 47: Competing for Favor
Shen Mingyan opened her eyes with a palpitation, facing Shen Xianling's loving eyes.
"Sister-in-law awake?" Shen Xianling's face was a little haggard, but his face was full of warm smiles.
The lights were bright, Shen Mingyan was lying on the dark red soft couch, surrounded by a crimson spun tent, covered with a thick brocade quilt, and two pots of red and bright pots were burning.
Shen Mingyan took a deep breath: "Daddy is you, where is this?"
"It's Daddy, don't worry, it was Zhou Gongzi's people who saved Daddy. They have already told Daddy about it, you are drenched in rain and water, you are afraid that you will catch a cold, and if you are tired, you will sleep again. ”
Seeing that the biting girl woke up, Bai Liwei opened the gauze tent and shouted at Shen Ming: "Where? It's not hell anyway! Look at your quiet girl" Then seeing Shen Xianling's apologetic eyes, Bai Liwei simply held back the words and said: "Mr. Shen Ling Qianjin has woken up, you can trust us." ”
"Thank you Engong!" Shen Xianling got up and looked at Bailiwei with a deep bow: "Engong saved the lives of my father and daughter, and I don't know how to repay it, but I rely on Engong's orders!"
Bailiwei made a gesture of please: "Our son is invited!"
After Shen Xianling left, a girl with a round face and a pothos skirt walked up to Shen Mingyu: "Is the girl better?"
"Where is this?What time is it?" Shen Mingyan slowly sat up straight, and found that she was only wearing a silk white middle coat: "You changed my clothes?"
The girl in the green dress smiled slightly: "Back girl, this is the Water Fairy Inn." I am the maid of the inn, and I have changed the clothes for the girl. In another hour it will be dawn. ”
Shen Mingyan looked at the woman in the room and said, "Sister, can you tell me where my maid Caiqing is?"
The girl in the green dress was slightly stunned: "Cai Qing, only the four of you stayed in the middle of the night, and there were no other girls." ”
"What, four?" Shen Mingyan remembered that when she was knocked unconscious, Cai Qing was following behind.
"Two young sons, and a girl and your father. At that time, the girl was wrapped in a thick cloak but was soaking wet, and they said that the girl accidentally fell into the water."
"Bring me my clothes, take me to meet them!" Shen Mingyan tore open the quilt, and only then did she see her father's heart rise again. Nothing will happen to Cai Qing. And Mr. Jimo, how is he? They set fire to the boat, and if they can save Daddy, they should also see Mr. Jimo.
The woman in the green dress handed over a long red dress: "Those two sons live in the fourth room next door. I'll take the girl. ”
As soon as Shen Ming and the woman in the green dress came out, they saw the door of the inn come in, and three people were inquiring in front of the counter.
Seeing the comer, Shen Mingyan subconsciously stepped back, hiding behind the carved pillar on the second floor and looking at the three people below.
Walking in the middle is Shen Xianling, who is dressed in a silver-gray brocade robe, on one side is a lotus heart in a green robe, and on the other side is Ji Siping in a dark red robe.
Lianxin wiped the sweat on her forehead as she walked. The time of this day first saw the master being kidnapped, and then the three girls were sent home and robbed again. Although it was an acquaintance who was kidnapped, it was as if Mo Huaijin was crazy at that time. Lianxin was pushed out of the car by Jimo Huaijin, and her arm was hitting the cornerstone on the side of the road, grinning in pain for a while.
The third girl was taken away by him, and she didn't leave anything behind, how can she explain this to her wife. Lotus Xin ignored the pain, and rushed towards Mingxiangzhai with his legs.
Shen Xianling heard that something had happened to Shen Mingyan, and came out to look for it together with Ji Siping. Originally, the tea master of Mingxiangzhai was going to send someone to help find it together, but Shen Xianling said that since it was taken away by an acquaintance, there should be nothing to worry about, and besides, seeing that it was raining, he didn't want to work hard to mobilize the people. sent the tongue back to the mansion in the east of the city to tell Lu Xiuying that he would not return at night, and then took Ji Siping to look all the way in the direction that Lianxin said.
When Birdtongue arrived at the mansion in the east of the city, the heavy rain had already turned into a drizzle. In the main hall, Lu Xiuying, Shen Pengtao, Shen Mingyan, Shen Mingyu, and Shen Mingyan were talking and laughing around the garden table in front of the big window and eating snacks.
Shen Pengrun clenched his hands into fists on the side with a calm face, staring straight at the family members and mothers-in-law who came and went outside the window with umbrellas, and posed large plates and small bowls to the main hall.
Shen Mingyu looked at Shen Pengrun from time to time and said, "I said second brother, you can't go and see again, why hasn't my father come back yet." ”
Shen Pengtao turned a deaf ear.
After Queyu entered the hall, he came to the window and looked at Lu Xiuying and lowered his head: "Hello Madam, the master sent Queyu to tell Madame that he will not come back tonight, so let Madame have dinner and rest early." ”
Although the voice of the bird's tongue was low, everyone present heard it, and there was silence for a while.
"What?" Lu Xiuying, who was still smiling a moment ago, was instantly covered with cold frost: "What happened to the master?"
"It's not the master!" said Finch, glanced at Lu Xiuying cautiously, and couldn't help lowering her voice again: "It's the third girl who has an accident."
As soon as Shen Mingyu heard the third girl scream, "What can happen to her?"
Queyu looked at Lu Xiuying and then at Shen Mingyu lowered her voice a few points: "The third girl was worried about the master, and she deliberately went to Mingxiangzhai to see the master in the afternoon, who knew that she was robbed by her previous husband on the way back." The old man is worried about the third girl, and he is looking for it with Mr. Ji at the moment."
"What?" Shen Pengrun almost jumped up and grabbed Finch's shoulder: "You said my third sister was robbed?"
Bird's tongue looked at Shen Pengrun and grinned, and said in his heart, the second son, you should start lightly, but he said forcefully: "No, it's just that Lianxin met the third girl's teacher Mr. Jimo on the way back to send the third girl, and he pushed Lianxin off the carriage and drove away."
"Tell me which direction he drove the car!" Shen Pengrun was also curious about why Zhou Ziyi, a teacher of his, was looking for him. It seems that he must not be a good person! What if he is not good for the third sister! Shen Pengrun thought, stomped his foot, and rushed out of the hall.
Seeing Shen Pengrun rushing out in the rain, Shen Mingyu jumped to her feet angrily: "Mother, look at him!"
Lu Xiuying frowned and said to the mother-in-law who was placing the dishes over there: "Okay! It's all gone!
The mothers-in-law heard Lu Xiuying's displeasure and silently withdrew.
Lu Xiuying said to the bowed head again: "You go out to inquire, and report to me as soon as there is news of the master!"
"Yes!"
After the finch tongue left, Shen Mingyu said indignantly: "Mother, I think it was the Qin daughter who did it on purpose, maybe this time the father has already gone to their side! Maybe it was her mother who taught her!
"Enough!" Lu Xiuying looked at the children in front of her with a heavy face and said, "Let's eat!"
"Okay!" Shen Mingyan almost ran to the big table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. In order to wait for her father to eat together, she endured it for a long time.
"Mother!" Shen Pengtao helped Lu Xiuying and said, "Do you want Tao'er to go out and have a look." ”
"No!" Lu Xiuying grimaced: "It's enough for Run'er to go!"
Lu Xiuying walked to the dining table, facing the delicious food on the table, and she had no appetite.
What can happen, but more, by pulling Shen Xianling over from the beginning. It seems that he has to do something, otherwise the mother and daughter will be more and more noisy.
