Li Chengmao was supported by Biluo and Ding Quan and walked out of the ancestral hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info His legs and feet, every step is very numb.

Shen Yan stood in an inconspicuous place, and when she saw him come out, she stepped forward, handed him a medicine bottle and said, "Go back and rub the soles of your feet with this potion." Besides," she glanced at Biluo, "take care of your maid." If you can't keep her mouth shut, just say it, and I can dismiss her. With that, she tapped her chin and was about to leave.

"Sister-in-law......" Li Chengmao stopped her, and then quietly pushed away Ding Quan and Biluo who were holding him, Yushu stood in the wind and said, "Biluo is talking nonsense, sister-in-law, don't go to your heart." ”

"Hmm." Shen Yan nodded, smiled a little, and still had to leave.

"Sister-in-law!" Li Chengmao stopped her again, and when she stopped, he only said: "Thank you sister-in-law for coming to see me and sending me medicine." ”

"I just want to tell you to take care of your people, just send medicine by the way, you don't need to be polite." Shen Yan said and didn't forget to tell him, "This medicine works very well, you must use it." ”

Li Chengmao smiled dryly, only to watch her back disappear into the night. At this moment, he felt that he was so humble. Instantly, he threw the vial out and landed on the stone with a crunch.

Shen Yan paused when she heard the sound, sighed softly and left. She didn't come to deliver medicine at all, nor did she simply tell him to take care of his maid, she came to sprinkle salt on his wounds. She wants to break off his forbidden love for herself.

The next day, Lin Zhutou came to the house. However, he is no longer in official clothes, but in civilian clothes, and even the saber around him is gone. He told Shen Yan: "Gu Zhizhou removed me from my position. Don't let me do things in the governor's mansion anymore. However, the school murder. I'll get to the bottom of it, at least. The real murderer must also be found. ”

"Gu Zhizhou dismissed you from your post, but because you kept pestering this case?" Shen Yan asked.

Lin Zhutou nodded.

Shen Yan thought about it, and knew that he was enthusiastic, so he made up his mind and said: "Lin Zhutou, since you can't do things for the mansion, how about doing things for my Hou Mansion?" The two children who have seen the murderer now need to be protected, why don't you stay and protect the two of them? On the other hand. You can also continue to look into the case. ”

Lin Zhutou never thought that he would get such an errand, and he was very happy at the moment, "I, Lin Jue, am willing to serve the Hou Mansion." ”

Shen Yan never asked, his name was originally Lin Jue. Looking at his tall head, sturdy body, and honest and loyal face, she liked it.

"It's not easy to find out the real culprit. I'm going to bother you. However, the important thing is the safety of the two children. She reminded him.

"I understand, Mrs. Ohira just have to rest assured." Lin Jue clenched his fists, which could be regarded as grateful to Shen Yan.

"Sister Yan'er has been lately. But he brought a lot of people to the Hou Mansion. Jiao Huaiyu walked in from outside the house. She smiled as she walked into the house, her face at ease. He didn't seem to care about what was going on in the Hou Mansion.

Shen Yan asked Lin Jue to retreat, and then smiled and explained to Jiao Huaiyu the reason why he had recruited people.

Jiao Huaiyu didn't care. She comes. There is another thing to tell Shen Yan.

She told Shen Yan that she dreamed of Guanyin Niangniang last night. Guanyin Niangniang gave her a lotus petal and let her eat it. She looked for a fortune teller and said that this was a good sign for her to be happy with her noble son. Whether it was true or not, she wanted to go to the temple to thank the Bodhisattva.

"My sister wants to worship the Bodhisattva, just go." Shen Yan said.

"But I want to go to Jingyuan Temple in the capital." Jiao Huaiyu said and smiled, "Presumably my sister also knows that the Bodhisattva there is the most effective." ”

She wants to go to Jingyuan Temple, I don't know why? Shen Yan thought for a while and persuaded: "If my sister is really pregnant with a child, running to the capital at this time is afraid of hurting the body, and it is not good for the fetus." She smiled lightly, "Actually, as long as the heart is sincere, any bodhisattva can hear the prayer of the believer." ”

However, Jiao Huaiyu still insisted.

Since she had to go, Shen Yan didn't say much, but agreed, saying that she would let the account room give her more fulcrums.

"Sister Yan'er is so nice." Jiao Huaiyu showed a bright and innocent look. However, she quickly lowered her voice and called "sister", and walked mysteriously to Shen Yan. She whispered in her ear, "Sister, I still want to be honest with you. But I'll tell you only one person, and you can't say it. ”

Shen Yan nodded suspiciously, and she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that there is a master from Jingyuan Temple, and he can see whether a pregnant person is pregnant with a boy or a girl, so I also want to go and see." If it's a boy I'll give birth, if it's a girl, I'll not give birth. ”

Shen Yan was shocked, just because she even said such things to herself! Is she naïve or stupid? Huo Qing went to the border city, and the person she guarded against was really like this?

"Even if it's a girl, you have to give birth." After being surprised, she did not forget to persuade, "A girl is also a life, and she is also your flesh and blood." ”

"If it's a girl, I won't give birth." Jiao Huaiyu said resolutely, "I want boys, I like boys more, and my aunt likes boys too." I don't want the child I gave birth to to be the same as Sister Minmin's child, no one loves ......"

"Except that the old lady doesn't like it," Shen Yan interrupted her, "everyone likes to chant." ”

"I don't want to give birth to girls anyway."

She was as stubborn as a stinky child, Shen Yan couldn't help laughing, and told her: "Even if this baby is a girl, you will have another boy in the future." ”

Jiao Huaiyu sighed when she heard this, "Where is it so easy for my sister to say?" Hou Ye and I did that because I promised that I would give me a child, but he didn't say that he would give me a boy. If I give birth to a girl, where is Master Hou willing to give me another chance? ”

Her careful thinking is really like a child's careful thinking. And she said such careful thoughts, which only naïve people can say. For her little thought, Shen Yan was taken aback again, and the doubts in her heart deepened. Of course, she didn't believe what Huo Qing said to her when she left, she just didn't believe her eyes. She laughed, "You're overthinking. If you want to have a boy, there are so many opportunities. ”

"I wish I was pregnant with a boy this time." Jiao Huaiyu's eyes were full of longing when he said this.

What Shen Yan didn't say was that she didn't necessarily have a child in her belly. However, since she really insisted on going to Jingyuan Temple to have a look, it would be redundant for her to say more.

Jiao Huaiyu set off on the second day. Before leaving, Jiao told her a thousand times, so that she must worship the Bodhisattva and come back. She also personally sent a few loyal servants to escort her back and forth, and in the end, she loved this niece very much.

Shen Yan found Bai Zhong shortly after Jiao Huaiyu left, and asked him to follow Jiao Huaiyu's carriage and horse. She wanted to make sure that Jiao Huaiyu went to the capital to see if it was really as she said, just to worship the Bodhisattva.

And on the same day, Gu Man came to the Hou Mansion with a big belly.

His visit is not trivial, and it also makes the people of the Hou Mansion feel incredible. And no one dared to underestimate his arrival, for this reason, Li Chengmao first received him in the flower hall, and then Jiao's accompanied by Wei Min and Shen Yan also arrived.

He came to get cheap and sell well.

In the past, he was about to put up a notice to ruin the good reputation of the Hou Mansion, but now he has come to say a lot of things that he did out of helplessness, and the more he talks, the more he says, everyone can't understand what he wants. In the end, Shen Yan simply asked: "Master Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." There are so many words about these scenes that we are all confused. ”

As soon as she said this, Jiao immediately glared at her, for fear that she would offend Gu Yuan by saying this. Shen Yan only focused on Gu Yuan, ignoring Jiao's silent reprimand.

"Mrs. Ohira is a cheerful person! Okay, okay. Gu Yuan didn't take it to heart, but felt that someone had pierced this layer of window paper, and he could open the skylight and say something. He said bluntly: "When the official first arrived in Ning'an City, he found that the treasury was empty of silver, so for this reason, the official wanted to borrow some from the Hou Mansion and use it first. Old lady, second master, you see...... This ......" He spoke in a slurred manner, pretending to be embarrassed.

Jiao Shi thought for a while, and asked with Yan: "But I don't know how much silver Gu Zhizhou needs to borrow?" ”

"No more, no less, a thousand taels is enough." He said lightly, and did not forget to emphasize, "I want a silver ticket so that I can get it back." ”

"One thousand taels ......," Jiao Shi pondered. Although she felt that one thousand taels was not a small amount, she also felt that compared to offending an official, this amount could still be afforded by the Hou Mansion, so she immediately said, "Okay, no problem." After that, she asked Zhong Ce to go to the account office to open a silver ticket of 1,000 taels.

Shen Yan instructed Steward Feng: "Steward Feng go and help me bring the four treasures of the study." Then, she smiled and said to Gu Yuan: "Since it is borrowed, there must be a credential." ”

Hearing her words, Gu Yuan's face suddenly turned green. He put his hands behind his back and snorted unhappily. Seeing this, Jiao Shi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Gu is not angry, the thousand taels of silver donated to the yamen, I, the old woman, can still take it out." ”

"Really?" The color on Gu Yuan's face was a little kinder.

"Seriously."

"Old lady," Shen Yan couldn't help but pull Jiao Shi aside, and said solemnly: "With this time, there will be a second time." Even if the thousand taels of silver are gone, if you want a certificate, you will ...... in the future" Speaking of this, she deliberately raised her tone, "If you come to the emperor in the future, there is a good saying." You forget, the emperor is a very important cousin. ”

"Mrs. Daping, don't worry," Gu Yuan's face softened even more when he heard these words, and he said, "This official will borrow this thousand taels, and if you want to borrow it again, then the official will ...... This official hits five thunders in the sky! He swore such a poisonous oath.

Is he in dire need of money and crazy, or is something wrong? Shen Yan was a little suspicious.

However, no matter how much she doubted, she couldn't get past Jiao's and let Gu Yuan write down an IOU. One thousand taels of silver was finally taken away by him for no apparent reason.

After Gu Yuan left happily, she was a little unsure. She always felt that there was something else wrong with this. (To be continued.) )
