Chapter 129: Calling the Shots
With good words and good words, he said it so clearly, Li Chengmao should let go. Shen Yan got up www.biquge.info said lightly, "Let's hurry" and walked to the official road.
When she got closer, she heard Ding Quan say that she cherished the jade and said: "No matter how good-looking it is, it's also a play." Why should you annoy your young lady because of a play? ”
"You don't know anything!" Xiyu twisted to the side, her hands tightly twisted the hem of her clothes, looking impatient and depressed.
She must have been distressed because of her affair with Yan Yongxu. Shen Yan thought, since the two of them had cooked raw rice into cooked rice, what else did she have to say? She was only afraid that the jade was entrusted by no one.
Back in Ning'an City, although the hour was not early, the fish belly white had not yet risen in the sky, and it was all gray, but those bright stars had faded a lot of light.
As soon as the identity of the Hou Mansion was revealed, the soldiers guarding the city gate were released.
Ning'an City was extremely quiet, only the sound of carriages and horses resounding freely in the streets.
The night watchmen of the Hou Mansion of Ning'an knew that Li Chengmao and Shen Yan were back, and they were all very happy. When they looked at Shen Yan's expression, they had a lot more reverence.
There was a bold servant who said: "The second master and Mrs. Daping are not at home, yesterday morning Gu Zhizhou brought people to collect food and wages, and the old lady and the eldest lady sent away the confiscated amount." Thanks to Mrs. Ohira's foresight in spring ploughing, she planted fruit trees instead of too much grain. ”
"Gu Zhizhou didn't care if the house asked for silver to fill the grain?" Shen Yan asked.
"Yes. However, the old lady said that when the war broke out, food was more important than money. Give and give. ”
Shen Yan nodded and smiled, thinking that Jiao Shi understood this truth. It's not confusing.
Since it was not dawn, Shen Yan did not let the servants disturb Jiao and Wei Min to rest. Instead, he said to Li Chengmao: "Let's go back and rest for a while, and when it is dawn, we will go to the old lady and Sister Min Min to say goodbye." ”
Li Chengmao nodded slightly, which was a response. His expression was still so gloomy, almost tired. Shen Yan thought for a while and said: "The second master rode a horse all the way, he was too tired, go back and rest, and I will go to the old lady alone in the morning to report safety." ”
Li Chengmao glanced at her. Smiled reluctantly, and did not refuse her proposal.
Returning to the Imperial Fragrance Garden and washing away the dust, Shen Yan found that the sky was rising outside. She dressed up a little and went out to the East Garden. And just when she walked out of the inner room, Wei Min, accompanied by Qing He, hurried over.
She didn't apply powder, and her hair was in a bun on her head. Also combed is the simplest. As soon as she came, she took Shen Yan's hand with concern, and her eyes were full of pity: "Sister Yan'er is back." Tired along the way, right? Her eyes were as gentle as water. is really like a sister who loves Shen Yan and protects Shen Yan.
Shen Yan shook her head and smiled, "I'm not tired." She looked at Wei Min and felt that she didn't apply powder. The face is more quiet and moving.
Wei Min was a little embarrassed by her, and brushed the hair on the side of his forehead with one hand and said, "I heard that you are back." I just came out like this, and I didn't have time to take care of it. ”
"Such a Min Min sister. It's beautiful. Shen Yan praised it, then took her arm and wanted to go to Fushoutang with her to say goodbye to Jiao's family.
Since there was a letter that brought the good news to the Hou Mansion, Jiao's mood when he saw Shen Yan was not eager. However, knowing that she came to see her without a break as soon as she came back, she didn't show her face. She even said lightly: "My Da Zhou really started a war with Nan Zhao." Your plan for spring ploughing is just right. ”
If there is no compliment, there is convincing, and that is enough. Shen Yan was strange that the border city had fallen, and this Jiao family and Wei Min were not worried about Li Chengqi and Jiao Huaiqing at all. She thought about it for a moment, and finally voiced her doubts.
Wei Min suddenly let out an "ah", then looked at Shen Yan and told her, "Master Hou wrote back and said that he and his cousin were not going to the border city. Knowing that there was a war going on in the border city, they changed their minds on the fly. Count the days, and they'll be home in no time. Wei Min also said: "Master Hou also wrote you a letter, and I will help you collect it." Later, you can follow me to the East Garden to get it. ”
Hearing such news, Shen Yan felt regretful. However, after thinking about it, she thought about it, thinking that the border city had fallen, and Li Chengqi and others had gone, it must be more than lucky, and this temporary change of hexagram might not be a good thing, so she was relieved.
Li Chengqi wrote a letter to her, I don't know what to say? Can't wait, she said goodbye to Jiao.
Wei Min took her to Dongyuan and asked Qing He to take out her letter. She got it in her hand, but she didn't give it to Shen Yan for a long time, and deliberately teased: "You must be anxious to see the Hou Ye's lovesickness for you, right?" But now the trust is in my hands, and if you want to take it, you have to give some benefits. ”
"Sister Minmin......" Shen Yan laughed, thought for a while and asked, "Then tell me, what benefits do you want?" ”
"Hmm......" Wei Min really thought about it, and suddenly said: "You go to chant for my family, how about the mother-in-law want the same ornaments that she can carry with her?" Mother-in-law favors your Han'er, and so far she hasn't even given me a single thing to chant, and my family's chant will be looked down upon by those subordinates. ”
Hearing her words, Shen Yan actually blamed herself a little. The son she gave birth to actually took away the love of the Hou Mansion's daughter. In fact, Jiao's love for her son Li Han so much was also something she didn't expect. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think that if the child in Jiao Huaiyu's belly was really a boy, then Jiao's ......
"Sister Yan'er?" Wei Min interrupted her thoughts, "If you find it difficult, then let me say it's okay." Letter, you take it. She had a smile on her face, but she was a little unhappy.
Shen Yan hurriedly held her hand and said, "Sister Minmin, you misunderstood." Where would I say no? I just thought ......" she hesitated for a moment.
"What do you think of?" Wei Min asked.
Shen Yan finally told her: "I was in the capital and met Sister Huaiyu. The master of Jingyuan Temple said that she had a child, a boy. ”
Wei Min was not surprised, and said with a rhetorical smile: "Sister Huaiyu has already written to the family to say this, and her mother-in-law is very happy, and she has rewarded a lot of people that day." ”
"The old lady likes boys so much, and Sister Huaiyu is her own niece, the child who is about to be born will be a thousand times more favored than Han'er."
Shen Yan said these words with a light face. These words were heard by Wei Min, but he could think of a lot.
"Sister Yan'er......" she suddenly grabbed Shen Yan's hand and said, "Then my family's chant in this family, isn't it a loss of status?" ”
"Sister Minmin, rest assured, Yin Song is the daughter of the Hou Mansion in the end." Shen Yan said, "No one can shake this kind of status." Huaiyu and I are concubines in the end. Isn't the child born of a concubine, even if he is favored, to divide his property and inherit the title in the future, isn't he unqualified? ”
Hearing her say this, Wei Min couldn't help but feel relieved. She even comforted Shen Yan with Yan and said: "Your Han'er is liked, even if you can't be named a marquis when you grow up, no one will dare to despise it." ”
"Hmm." Shen Yan nodded.
She only wished that Wei Min would not treat her children as the object of jealousy. She didn't want her sisterhood with her to be ruined because of the child's problems.
"Go back quickly, and appreciate the meaning of Hou Ye's miss for you." Wei Min said and pushed her out, and said with a smile: "In the letter to me, what he wrote was all serious, and there was no half of a word of affection, and what he wrote to you must be different." ”
Shen Yan could only leave with a smile.
She did not open the letter immediately, but returned to the study of the Imperial Fragrance Garden, and only then did she open the letter and read it. To her disappointment, Li Chengqi really didn't say anything about what she was interested in in the letter, it was all love words.
She lay on the table boredly and fell asleep.
At noon, Lian Ying and Zhili woke her up. Knowing that she was back, the two children were very happy. They wanted to see her and hear her about her in the capital.
She also spoiled the two of them and was willing to talk to them about this. But before that, she instructed Xiyu one thing: "Go and invite Boss Yan, I have something to say to him." ”
Xiyu answered. She knew that this moment would come sooner or later.
When Shen Yan, Lian Ying and Zhili finished talking about what happened in the capital, and after talking about the appearance of the capital, they asked them about their homework in the past few days, and tested the two of them, and half an hour soon passed.
Calculate, Xiyu should also call Yan Yongxu to come, but why haven't they arrived yet? Just when Shen Yan felt strange, Xiyu came back alone with red eyes.
"Why, he won't come with you?" When Shen Yan asked this, she was not surprised. She even found it ridiculous, "He won't take responsibility for your innocence?" He's such a man, you're still ......"
"It's not." Xiyu hurriedly shook her head, but her voice was as low as the bite of a mosquito, "It's me...... I didn't see him. ”
Shen Yan frowned at her, and wanted to ask her if Yan Yongxu had escaped, but she was still patient and waited for her to finish speaking.
"I don't know why, he was kicked out of the Yongxu opera troupe." Xiyu's voice was louder and more anxious, "No one knows where he is, and I can't find him everywhere." ”
As she spoke, tears the size of beans fell from her eyes, and they all fell to the ground. Her small body shuddered because she couldn't help but sob.
When Shen Yan saw it, she felt pity in her heart. She took a long breath, exhaled naturally, and finally said, "Don't cry, I'll make decisions for you." After that, she instructed the people next to her: "Go and call Steward Feng." ”
She wrote a letter to Bai Zhong and asked Steward Feng to send it to Bai Mansion. In the letter, she only begged Bai Zhong to find a friend on the street and find out Yan Yongxu.
After doing this series of things, Xiyu knelt down in front of Shen Yan. She cried and said: "Miss, if Boss Yan is really the kind of person that Miss said, I will never marry for life, and I will serve Miss for the rest of my life." ”
"If you don't have innocence, even if you want to marry, it's hard to find a good family." Shen Yan's words were very cruel.
When Xiyu heard this, she cried even more sadly. (To be continued.) )
