Chapter 118: Heartless
If it was really according to what Gu Yuan said, a notice was posted to inform the people of Ning'an that the death of the six children was the result of the shoddy construction of the Hou Mansion when running the school, and the second master of the Hou Mansion Li Chengmao should have been sentenced to the crime of negligence, but because the Hou Mansion has a gold medal for avoiding death, even if he is guilty, he can only be acquitted, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion will be affected, and Li Chengmao will also become the target of Jiao's accusations.

Things are back to the point that Shen Yan was worried about at the beginning. Moreover, judging from the current situation, both she and Li Chengmao can think about it, and it is almost impossible for Gu Yuan to change his mind. They are only afraid that the reputation of the Hou Mansion will not be saved.
"Since we can't save our reputation, let's do something to remedy it." Shen Yan said to Li Chengmao, "Instead of worrying and being bored here, we might as well do a good job for a few children." We can also give porridge for three days to comfort the spirits of several children in heaven. ”
Li Chengmao nodded in agreement.
However, after the notice in the yamen was posted, Jiao called everyone from the Hou Mansion to the ancestral ancestral hall, and in front of the big guys, Li Chengmao knelt in the ancestral hall, and after saying a lot of words, he was sentenced to a punishment of six hours.
No one interceded for him, including Shen Yan. But two and a half hours passed, Biluo, who was transferred by Shen Yan from the main courtyard to Qinxin Garden, ran to Yuxiangyuan, crying and begging Shen Yan to go to Jiao's place to intercede for Li Chengmao. She said: "The second master is used to being pampered, and if he kneels again, he is afraid that he will kneel and make a mistake." ”
Shen Yan would not plead, she said: "He is a dignified man, kneeling for six hours is nothing. "Six hours, she also knelt in the previous life, although it was hard. But it can also survive. If she goes to plead with Li Chengmao, it will be strange if she doesn't let people say that she has something to do with Li Chengmao. So she couldn't go.
"Mrs. Ohira...... Are you really that ruthless? Biluo's apricot eyes were red and swollen from crying. But she said it. It's really incredible.
Shen Yan thought about it and asked Mama Cui to prepare the sedan chair, saying that she wanted to go to the soup kitchen site to have a look. With this, she retreated from the others in the room, and only then did she let Biluo, who was kneeling on the ground, get up, "You just said that I am ruthless to the second master?" ”
Seeing that there were no others in the house, Biluo didn't hide it. She bluntly told Shen Yan: "Mrs. Daping must not know, the second master has been thinking about you in his heart, but you are the Hou Ye's person." If he likes you, he will never have a chance to say it. She glanced at Shen Yan and saw that there was no surprise in her expression, so she continued, "Mrs. Daping, whether you know the second master's sincerity to you or not, but for the sake of this sincerity, please go to the old lady to ask for a favor for the second master, right?" ”
"In that case, I can't go." Shen Yan said resolutely.
"Mrs. Daping......" Biluo knelt on the ground again. If the Hou Ye was in the house, he would not watch the second master suffer like this. The old lady has always been harsh to the second master, and it is the Hou Ye who protects the second master. Now that the Hou Ye is not in the house, can't you come forward to help the second master? ”
"I said it. If you kneel for six hours, you can't die. Shen Yan didn't want to hear anything more from her, she got up and was about to leave the house.
"It's just because I'm afraid of gossip. Mrs. Ohira is so ruthless? It's Biluo who thinks wrong! ”
Listening to Biluo's angry voice, Shen Yan could have disposed of her. She's just a subordinate. Dare to talk to her like this, I'm afraid I don't want to live, right? But. After Shen Yan paused slightly, she took another step and ignored her.
Biluo got up from the ground and trotted to the door, seeing that Shen Yan had really left, she felt hatred and despair in her heart, and she felt worthless for Li Chengmao.
She came to the Li family ancestral hall, knelt outside the ancestral hall, looked at Li Chengmao's straight back and said, "Second master...... You love the wrong person. ”
Hearing this, Li Chengmao was inexplicable, but he didn't look back, only listened to her continue: "Do you know what Mrs. Daping said when I went to ask Mrs. Daping to intercede for you?" She said that for six hours, no one would die on his knees. Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his eyes and showed a smile.
He was not ridiculing Shen Yan, but mocking himself. He said, "Six hours, indeed, a kneeling immortal." ”
"Aren't you upset?" Biluo asked angrily, "You know that it is impossible, but you are also devoted to her, but she is so ruthless to you, you are not a little sad?" ”
"It's my wishful thinking to be devoted to her." Li Chengmao's words were calm, and his face was as calm as if he hadn't heard Biluo's words. But only he knows that his heart is still aching because of such words, but he is also finding reason and desperately trying to soothe this painful heart.
And Biluo, who listened to his words, was even more angry. She simply stood up and left in hatred.
But when Shen Yan came to the soup kitchen, she saw that there were a lot of people in line, and she kept going to the other side of the street, and she couldn't see the end, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Among the people of Dazhou, there are too many people who need others to give porridge.
"Sister Yan'er." Just as she was thinking this, Bai Zhong walked over. He came to send an invitation to Shen Yan, and his wedding date with Wu Miaozhu, a young lady of the Wu family, was set for the 26th of this month.
Shen Yan received the invitation, hugged one and said with a smile: "Brother Bai Zhong and Miss Wu have been engaged a long time ago, just because of your birth year and Miss Wu's taboo of rushing to the moon, the marriage has been delayed for a long time, and now it is finally a happy event, but it is a pity that Master Hou is far away, and it is not good for me to show up and go to the house to eat and drink when the time comes." ”
Hearing her say that she couldn't go to eat, Bai Zhong was a little disappointed. However, he still smiled with relief: "It's okay, you can find time to take a look at the house, and then come to see the sister-in-law I married you, but you are pretty." ”
"It is said that Miss Wu is like a fairy, where can I compare." Shen Yan smiled humbly, but her eyes unintentionally fell on a familiar face. It was a face that she had asked Bai Zhong to find for a long time, a face that looked like Yingge in Li Chengqi's eyes.
"It's her!" Following her gaze, Bai Zhong also saw it.
The man was standing in the line of receiving porridge, frizzy and anxious. Bai Zhong stepped forward to catch her, but was stopped by Shen Yan. Shen Yan said: "Just wait for her to come over, and I'll talk to her well." ”
"It's fine."
When the little beggar came to her, Shen Yan personally spooned a bowl of porridge for her, and immediately said, "This girl is very similar to a friend of mine." ”
Hearing her words, the beggar was unhappy, and shouted hard: "Who is the girl?" As she spoke, she slapped her chest with one free hand, "I'm a gentleman!" ”
"Oh? This is my clumsy eyes, and I am abrupt. Shen Yan smiled and apologized. She handed the spoon to the servant, and quickly walked up to her, and asked, "This young master, I see that you are handsome and extraordinary, and you speak proudly, I wonder if you would like to go to my house to find an errand?" ”
"Not interested! Not interested! The beggar gulped down the porridge, as if he was very hungry.
Seeing that she was not full enough after drinking, Shen Yan stretched out her hand and said, "I'll add some extra porridge to you, right?" ”
The beggar was overjoyed, and immediately had a good impression of Shen Yan. She stuffed the bowl to Shen Yan and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”
Shen Yan took the bowl, thought about it and said, "Let's go to my house, I'll let the small kitchen cook you something delicious, right?" I look at my master, I really look like a friend of mine, and I would like to make you a friend. But I don't know if the master will give me this face? ”
After listening to Shen Yan's words, the beggar's mind was full of big fish and meat, and he almost flowed out of Halazi. She was silent for a long time, looked at Shen Yan carefully, and finally agreed.
Shen Yan nodded at Bai Zhong, got into the sedan chair, and led her in the direction of the Hou Mansion. When she entered the Hou Mansion, she saw that she was very envious looking at the scenery of the Hou Mansion, so she induced and said: "If the master is willing to work in the Hou Mansion, you can see every grass and tree in the Hou Mansion." ”
"Hehe," the beggar shook his head and laughed, "It's the palace, and I'm not uncommon." I'm used to wandering, and I'm happy. ”
Shen Yan saw that she couldn't keep her, so she smiled and asked, "I don't know what the name of the little master is?" ”
"I think, if you call me master, I listen to it very pleasantly, haha." The beggar burst out laughing.
Shen Yan didn't care, but Xiyu behind her couldn't hold her breath, and immediately scolded: "What a scoundrel, don't look at who is talking to you......"
"Cherish the jade! Hugh was rude. Before the beggar attacked, Shen Yan blocked Xiyu's mouth in time.
"It's still the master who is educated." The beggar sneered, looking at the scenery in the distance, while sneering at Xiyu, "If you are uneducated, you can only be a slave." ”
"You ......" Xiyu wanted to fight back, but she was disgusted by Shen Yan, so she could only endure it.
Shen Yan thought that this beggar was a person who could speak quickly, and she would repay it. Thinking that she had been in the market for a lot, she tolerated her, and asked with a good color: "Do you know a person who is famous for Yingge?" ”
"Yingge? Haven't heard of ...... No," the beggar stopped suddenly, scratching his head and said, "I seem to have heard someone say it." ”
"This Yingge is my friend, who looks very similar to you." Shen Yan said.
"Really?" The beggar laughed, "Maybe it's one of my sisters." I remember that I had two older sisters and a younger sister, but they were both sold by our gambling father when I was a child, and I managed to escape. Others, I don't know where to go, and I don't care. ”
When she said this, there was no sentimentality at all, as if she was just making a random joke, and as if she really had no brotherhood and really didn't care at all. After that, she didn't even ask what Yingge did, where she was, or if she was alive.
Shen Yan was surprised, but she still treated her well, and told her after she was full of food and drink: "You can come to the Hou Mansion to find me at any time." I'm glad to see you. ”
"What do you mean?" The beggar was naturally happy, "If I'm hungry, can I come to you and beg for a chicken leg?" If I don't have any clothes to wear, can I come to you and ask for a piece of fabric? ”
Shen Yan nodded.
"It seems that I am really stained with the light of Yingge! Thank you! ”
Looking at her departing back, Shen Yan dared to conclude that she would still come to find her.
It was the dead of night, and after everyone in the Hou Mansion had slept, Shen Yan came to the outside of the ancestral hall, only to wait for Li Chengmao to come out after being punished. (To be continued.) )
