Chapter 124: Linger
Shen Yan didn't tell Wei Jiuting why she would inquire about Wesley's way of being an official. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info She only reminded Wei Jiuting and said: "Such an official is a good official for a righteous person like Brother Jiuting." If Brother Jiu Ting's talent can be appreciated by him, you won't have to suffer from the foolish officials in the palace. β
"Sister Yan'er means ......"
"Brother Jiu Ting is so smart." Shen Yanyu smiled, and then seemed to have a whim: "Brother Jiuting, why don't you call Liang Chang, Sun Xingwu and others to the mansion, let's get together?" β
"Okay." Wei Jiuting happily agreed, "If they knew that you were in my mansion, they would be happy to come to see you." After that, he instructed his servants to invite Liang Chang, Sun Xingwu and others to come to the mansion for lunch.
They were both protΓ©gΓ©s of Shen Yan's father, Shen Shichong, when he was prime minister, and they also dealt with the playful Shen Yan back then. Shen Yan rarely came to the capital once, and when she met them, she could contact them. In the future, there may be a time when you need to help.
A total of six people came, among them, Liang Chang and Sun Xingwu, as well as Yu Kefu's father, all held important positions in the court. Although these people dare not speak out against the tyranny of the new emperor, they are also people who are worried about the Great Zhou Sheji and look forward to the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people.
When Shen Shichong was alive, they were moved by his great love for the country and the people, and this time they saw his orphans, and they were both happy and pity. They all said that they are teachers for one day and fathers for life, and the teacher's daughter is their sister-in-law. Shen Yan took the opportunity to talk about how Ning Anhou valued himself, and when they had leisure, they could go to Ning'an City to play. By the way, I got acquainted with Ning Anhou.
After a good lunch, the big guys have dispersed. Shen Yan was the last to do something else. Wei Jiuting is going to the palace. By the way, he sent Shen Yan. On the way, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiyu to follow away. Fang Cai said what he thought in his heart: "What Sister Yan'er said at the dinner table was to deliberately introduce Liang Chang, Sun Xingwu and others to Ning Anhou." β
His black and white eyes flashed with a hint of worry, and he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Yan'er really wants to help Ning Anhou risk the world's disapproval and steal the Great Zhou Dynasty?" β
"What is stealing?" Shen Yan Shi Ran smiled, "The rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not taken by the Liu family from the previous dynasty?" She walked straight forward with her spine straight forward, looked into the distance, and continued, "World." Ben doesn't belong to any surname. Whoever has that ability will be in charge, and whoever is incompetent will deserve to be beaten. The world is the world of the people, and it is determined by the hearts of the people. β
She was so imposing that Wei Jiuting seemed very shocked. In his eyes, she is no longer a weak woman. At this moment, he even saw a model of motherhood in her - Li Chengqi has succeeded. Could she be his queen?
In any case, since he helped Li Chengqi go to meet Master Yuanzhi, he has become their force.
"Sister Yan'er," he suddenly thought of something. asked, "You said that Hou Ye went away, where did he go?" β
"Say this. It's still early. Shen Yan looked back into his eyes, and her words were extremely firm and sincere. She also said, "When the Hou Ye comes back." You get the idea. I think that if his trip goes well, our plans may be advanced. β
"Alas," Wei Jiuting sighed and said, "The war between my Great Zhou and Nanzhao is tight, but the government is so corrupt. β
"Brother Jiuting," Shen Yan said with relief, "Only by ending all this can the people live a good life, and to end all this, someone must stand up." β
Wei Jiuting naturally understood this truth, he nodded, but he still had a lot of sorrow.
Shen Yan didn't say much, she believed that the day when the world was peaceful and peaceful, he would be able to understand that the efforts he made now and the hardships he endured now were worth it.
Back at Huafu Inn, as soon as she and Xiyu entered the door, they bumped into Li Chengmao's restless eyes. When he saw them coming back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where have you been, I asked Ding Quan to search all the streets and alleys but didn't find them?" β
"I went to meet a few friends." Shen Yan said lightly, and then asked, "Lord Wei, is there any movement?" β
Li Chengmao's expression regained his composure, he sat down and told her: "We came at the right time, this morning, Gu Chongzhi really played in the court to ask the emperor to take back the gold medal of the Hou Mansion to avoid death, Lord Wei led several important ministers and tried their best to oppose it, so the emperor did not make a decision. β
Wesley united with some important ministers, and the situation was not difficult to recover. Shen Yan thought that even if they didn't go to the Wei Mansion last night to explain the matter to Wesley, they heard in the court this morning that he Wesley would not ignore it, but he didn't have time to unite with the important ministers, and the situation would be more difficult to recover.
Now, she trusted Weasley so much that she even said to Li Chengmao: "Let's go back to the Hou Mansion later, so as not to worry about the old lady and Sister Min Min at home." β
"Go back? The matter is still undecided, how can we go back? Li Chengmao objected, but he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go back first, and I'll stay here for two more days?" β
"It's fine." He didn't feel at ease, so Shen Yan went to him. Then, she instructed Xiyu to pack her luggage and prepare to hurry back to the Hou Mansion.
"Still not right." When Xiyu listened to the order to go to work, Li Chengmao said, "I thought about it, but I still feel that it is inappropriate." Sister-in-law, wait, and then go back with me. On the way from the capital to Ning'an City, there are many hungry thieves, you go back alone, only the jade is around, and it is night, I really can't rest assured. β
Shen Yan thought about it and felt that his words made sense, so she said: "Actually, I thought that the second master didn't need to stay long, and Master Wei would definitely be able to help us solve the affairs of the Hou Mansion." β
"I'm still not at ease." Lee Seung-mao was stubborn.
"Well, let's stay two more days." Shen Yan thought about it, it would be good to stay in the capital for two more days and get together with Liang Chang, Sun Xingwu and others, so she agreed. She also did not forget to say: "I will write a letter and go home, so that the old lady and Sister Min Min can rest assured." β
Li Chengmao nodded in response.
After the family letter was completed, the two of them seemed to have nothing to do, waiting for news from Weasley's side, and they were also restless, especially Shen Yan. Bored, she knocked on Li Chengmao's door and asked him, "When it's dark, how about we go to the night market to see?" β
Li Chengmao hesitated, but when he thought about it, he thought that waiting like this was also waiting, and waiting while playing was also waiting, and seeing that Shen Yan rarely looked forward to ordinary affairs, he agreed to her proposal. He didn't forget: "It's cold at night, sister-in-law wear more clothes." β
Shen Yan nodded and happily went back to her room.
Thinking of going to the night market at night, Xiyu was also very happy. She not only prepared the moon-white cloak for Shen Yan, but also added clothes herself. She said that she hadn't visited the night market in Beijing for a long time, and the night market in Beijing today should be more lively and fun than a year ago.
As night fell, the four masters and servants walked out of the gate of the Huafu Inn in high spirits, but they didn't take a few steps before they were called by a familiar voice. This man was none other than Wesley.
Dressed in brocade clothes, he appeared behind the four of them, his bright eyes were like the bright light of a summer night. He stood tall with his hands behind his back, so imposing.
Li Chengmao was overjoyed when he saw him, and hurriedly strode over and asked, "Lord Wei, can the emperor make a further decision on the affairs of the Hou Mansion?" β
Wesley shook his head, but his face was not worried, and he asked Li Chengmao, "Where are you going?" β
Li Chengmao didn't care about his question, and wanted to ask what to do in the future to prevent the emperor from taking back the death-free gold medal given by the emperor to the Hou Mansion, but at this time, Shen Yan stepped forward and replied to Wesley's words with a smile. She said: "We want to see the night view of the capital, but I wonder if Master Wei is interested in joining us?" β
Wesley didn't refuse. The reason for this is not clear even to him. Perhaps, he hasn't been with his second brother for a long time, and he is happy to have a rare opportunity this time. However, his face was still so cold. Walking side by side with Li Chengmao, he also rarely spoke.
Several times Li Chengmao wanted to ask him about the Hou Mansion, but Shen Yan diverted the topic. She said flashy things, and couldn't help but praise the good of the capital, and she didn't seem to care about the safety of the Hou Mansion. However, everyone can see that she deliberately obstructs Li Chengmao from asking more. It's just that no one can figure out why she didn't let him ask.
Li Chengmao finally pulled him aside and asked her in a low voice, "Why did my sister-in-law hinder me from talking to Master Wei three times and twice?" β
"Master Wei has already told you everything he should say, why do you bother asking?" Shen Yan said casually while looking at the excitement around her.
"But ......"
"No, but." Shen Yan said, "He is willing to come to see the night market with us, which is to be concerned about the affairs of the Hou Mansion." If he wants to convince the emperor, he also needs time and planning. Why are you pushing him too hard? β
"Sister-in-law isn't worried at all?"
"With Master Wei here, what else do we need to worry about?"
Lee Seung-mao was amazed at how calm she had been after meeting Wesley. He thought he couldn't put all his hopes on one Weasley.
"Miss Cousin?" Xiyu suddenly screamed in surprise, and then ran to Shen Yan, pointed to the alley in the distance and said, "Miss, I saw Miss Biao." β
Following her direction, Li Chengmao and Shen Yan really saw a familiar figure, sneakily heading towards the depths of the alley.
This Jiao Huaiyu, when he left the Hou Mansion, said that he went to the capital to worship the Bodhisattva and went back, but the result was that he did not return for a long time, and wrote a letter saying that he wanted to eat fast and pray Buddha in the temple for a month. Shen Yan and others happened to see her here, so they naturally had doubts about the content of her letter.
"I'll go take a look." Li Chengmao said and strode into the alley over there. (To be continued.) )
