Chapter 017: Transfiguration
In the following days, Shen Yan saw that her father frequently traveled to and from the Ning'an Hou Mansion, but she couldn't dissuade her, and she was very uneasy. She even broke out in a cold sweat for several nights because www.biquge.info of a dream of the horrific image of her father being beheaded at the execution ground in her previous life.
Xiyu knew that Shen Yan was always dreaming, and finally invited a warlock in the white room, hoping to drive away her young lady's nightmare through the warlock's practice.
Shen Yan only thought it was funny, but she still followed Xiyu and asked her to bring the young warlock with a handful of goatees to her home. To her surprise, as soon as the warlock saw Shen Yan, he said that she had something on her mind, and her nightmares were all born from her heart.
Hearing what he said, Shen Yan looked at him carefully. Through his eyes, she was stunned to find that she had such a deep sense of familiarity with him. She approached and asked, confused, "Where have we met?" ”
"What do you say?" The warlock's tone suddenly became naughty. As he spoke, he also tore a thin layer of dough from his face. The handful of goatee also fell off.
"Brother Bai Zhong?" When Shen Yan saw that it was Bai Zhong, she couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
"How is it Bai Gongzi? How did Bai Gongzi pretend to be a warlock to deceive me? Xiyu was surprised, but also more annoyed.
"It's strange to say," Bai Zhong said with a puzzled look, "Recently, our Lord Zhizhou doesn't seem to be very happy with the handsome and dashing and suave me having a private meeting with Miss Shen, and always thinking of ways to stop me. I was afraid that Miss Shen would become lovesick, so I pretended to be a warlock and appeared in front of Xiyu at the right time. ”
"Where did Brother Bai Zhong learn this disguise technique? If you don't reveal your identity, you really won't recognize it. Shen Yan sighed at this, and didn't listen to Shen Shichong's words that he was unhappy with Bai Zhong to meet him.
Bai Zhong was very proud and told Shen Yan: "I still learned this disguise technique from a servant of Master Gu's family when I went to the capital with your father to meet Master Gu Man......
"My father went to the capital, why did he still communicate with the Gu family?" Shen Yan was angry when she heard this, "My father was demoted from the prime minister of the court to the governor of Ning'an, isn't it that Gu Chongzhi, the good son of Lord Gu, who made it bad?" Why doesn't my dad take the lesson? ”
"Then Gu Chongzhi's grace will take revenge, his father is not a bad person." Bai Zhong said cautiously.
Shen Yan also knew that Gu Chongzhi's father, Gu Man, was indeed a good person, but she was really worried that Shen Shichong would get into trouble if he continued to interact with the Gu family. She didn't say anything to Bai Zhong, went straight to the study, found her father, and persuaded him not to associate with the Gu family.
Shen Shichong, who has always been kind, listened to Shen Yan's advice, and finally lost his temper. He said to Shen Yan with a good color: "Why do I think you have been in charge of a lot of things recently?" Don't allow me to interact with Ning Anhou at once, and don't allow me to associate with my supreme at the same time, you can't help but be too lenient! A daughter's family, learn more about female popularity, and think about how to please her in-laws when she gets married. ”
"Daddy......" Shen Yan didn't expect her father to be so angry, let alone that he would lecture himself like this. She was annoyed in her heart, and she didn't want to pay attention to Shen Shichong for a while, but the moment she rushed to the door, she changed her mind. She turned back to Shen Shichong's side and said seriously: "Dad, I won't dissuade you. What are you going to do, what do you want to know, I'll help you. ”
Seeing that his daughter didn't run away angrily, Shen Shichong's heart suddenly softened a lot, and he even regretted saying so many unpleasant words to his precious daughter: "Yan'er, Shicai is upset for his father's heart, and he shouldn't say those words." My father knows that you are obstructing your father's dealings with Ning Anhou and the Gu family, because you are worried that your father will be involved in unnecessary disputes and conspiracies......"
Shen Shichong said a lot of words with loving words, but Shen Yan only felt that she just didn't listen, and she couldn't understand it in her heart. Holding back her tears, she made up her mind that she would protect her father in a different way - she couldn't stop him, so she chose to help him and protect him on the way he liked.
When she left the study and returned to her boudoir, she begged Bai Zhong to say, "Teach me the art of disguise." ”
Bai Zhong couldn't resist Shen Yan's entanglement, and after all kinds of reluctance, he finally agreed to Shen Yan's request. After that, he secretly ran to Shen Yan's boudoir every day, and he was also happy.
Shen Yan has something to do, and someone accompanies her, but Xiyu has nothing to do. Thinking of the difficult time, she threw Shen Yan's warning that "she is not allowed to like Yan Yongxu" to the clouds, as long as Bai Zhong came to teach Shen Yan the art of disguise, she would sneak to the Yongsu opera troupe and listen to Yan Yongxu singing.
"Recently, Miss Xiyu has come to listen to the drama frequently, can your young lady agree?" When Yan Yongsu was chatting with Xiyu, she finally asked tentatively, "Didn't you say that your young lady did not allow you to listen to the Yongxu opera troupe?" ”
Hearing Yan Yongxu ask, Xiyu's heart also climbed into that layer of sorrow. But she still made a disapproving look and said: "Boss Yan sings well, even if my young lady doesn't let me listen to it, I have to come to listen to it secretly." ”
"Aren't you afraid that your young lady will blame you?"
"My young lady has always been kind to me, so naturally I won't blame her. Besides, Boss Yan should not tell my young lady about my coming to the play. ”
Xiyu is playful, Yan Yongxu smiled, but in her heart she was doing her own calculations. What happened in the Ning'an Hou Mansion that night made him worry that the relationship between Shen Yan and Li Chengqi would affect his approach to Shen Yan. He thought that Shen Yan had a good impression of him, but since that night, she has not come to listen to her singing, and such a change must be related to Li Chengqi.
"Miss Xiyu, you like to listen to my play so much, why don't you find an opportunity to invite your young lady out, and I will intercede with her, so that she will not prevent you from coming to the opera troupe to listen to the play in the future?"
"That's very good, but ......," Xiyu hesitated, "My young lady has been busy learning the art of disguise from Bai Zhong Gongzi recently, but I'm afraid that I won't come to the theater to listen to the play." ”
"The art of disguise?" A look of surprise flashed in Yan Yongxu's smile, "Is there really anyone in this world who knows the art of disguise?" ”
"Isn't it? That day, Bai Gongzi played a warlock, and I didn't recognize it with my young lady. ”
Xiyu must not have imagined that it was precisely because of her current mouthiness that Shen Yan's intelligence became a little self-righteous not long after.
Shen Yan learned the art of disguise from Bai Zhong, so she told Bai Zhong and Xiyu that she would take Xiyu into the Ning'an Hou Mansion to help her father find out about Li Chengqi and Huo Qing's every move, and help her father uncover the mystery of the brocade box.
Hearing her determination, Bai Zhong was naturally startled, and then strongly opposed.
"Then how is the young lady going to sneak into the Ning'an Hou Mansion?" If there is a bold master, there will be a bold maid. Regarding Shen Yan's idea of blending into the Hou Mansion of Ning'an, Xiyu felt fresh and interesting.
"That's going to require Pak Chung Ge to help." Shen Yan smiled mischievously, and her eyes converged on Bai Zhong's face and begged him: "Brother Bai Zhong, you bring a few trustworthy people to help me catch and hide the maids and wisteria in Ning'an Hou's Mansion." I and Xiyu will pretend to be the two of them. ”
"Miss, we don't even know what Biluo and Wisteria look like, how are we going to pretend to be them?" Xiyu was puzzled.
