Jiao Huaiyu was overjoyed when she entered the door, pestered Shen Yan and asked her how she came to the capital, and said: "I heard that you are here, I will not count the first day of fasting, and I will not worry if I don't come to see you." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

She couldn't see any flaws in her words, but I don't know if she was prepared, or if it was like this?

Soon, Li Chengmao heard the news that she had come over and rushed to Shen Yan's room. When he entered the door, his gaze unintentionally swept over Xiyu's somewhat reddened eyes, and he knew that this girl had been trained. He paused before entering the house.

Seeing his second cousin, Jiao Huaiyu was overjoyed for a moment, and only after being happy did he say with some doubts: "You haven't told me yet, why did you come to the capital?" ”

Li Chengmao quickly explained everything to her, and she was so shocked that she was not shocked until he said that he and Shen Yan had persuaded Wesley to help the Hou Mansion through the difficult time, and she felt a little relieved.

The safety of the Hou Mansion, she is as concerned as any other person in the Hou Mansion, after all, the Hou Mansion is her home.

"Last night, I was at the night market with the second master, as if I saw you." Shen Yan finally talked about it. She looked at Jiao Huaiyu carefully, and there was no follow-up.

"Where did you see me?" Jiao Huaiyu asked rhetorically, and then said, "I did go to East Fourth Street last night. ”

"What are you doing on East Fourth Street alone? And I don't bring a maid or a woman, what if I meet a bad person? Li Chengmao's question was full of concern.

Hearing his concern, Jiao Huaiyu smiled brightly, and his round eyes smiled into the shape of a crescent moon. She explained, "I brought the maid with me, didn't you see it?" It was Zhang Wang, who went to Jingyuan Temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and she said she knew me. Said that she and I used to play together when we were younger. She invited a singer at home, so she invited me over. Instead, she asked Li Chengmao: "Second cousin." When I was young, did I always play with Zhang Wang and Wang Shuixin? ”

"She?" Li Chengmao recalled. Asked, "Is her father in the Criminal Department?" ”

"Well, I heard that after the new emperor ascended the throne last year, he was in charge of the legal order." Jiao Huaiyu was very proud, as if he was the one who held the position of the head of the law order in the Criminal Department.

Li Chengmao glanced at Shen Yan and looked sure that Jiao Huaiyu was not lying.

Shen Yan smiled, regardless of the doubts in her heart, at least she pretended to believe it on her face.

After chatting about some family things, Jiao Huaiyu said that he wanted to go back to the temple and leave.

Shen Yan kept sending her outside the inn. At the door of the inn. She didn't forget to ask her, "What did the master of Jingyuan Temple say?" Are you pregnant? Boy or girl? ”

Halfway through the words, Jiao Huaiyu blushed. She nodded and said, "It's a boy." ”

"Really?" Shen Yan smiled, but she didn't forget to remind her: "Since you have it, you should go home with us." At this time, there is no need to eat, how to eat fast in the temple? ”

Jiao Huaiyu looked at Shen Yan hesitantly, and finally lowered his voice and said, "That master said that it is not easy for my child to have a smooth birth. I was asked to fast in the temple for a month so that the child would be safe. At this, a look of worry appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Shen Yan didn't know whether to believe her words or not.

"Sister. Don't tell my aunt about it when you go back, lest she worry. Jiao Huaiyu pleaded.

Shen Yan nodded, and finally watched her leave. Look at her back. She pondered for a long time, but she didn't know that she was far away. There was a shadow stretched by the sun, on the side of the street. It was imprinted on the ground for a long time.

The shadow walked over and finally made a sound, and Shen Yan saw it, not without surprise. He's Wesley.

"Huaiyu is also in the capital?" He was dressed in blue and black civilian clothes, his hands were behind his back, his head was slightly heavy, and he was still indifferent in his eyes when he looked at Shen Yan. However, under the sunshine, he is radiant, and even Shen Yan thinks that he is a beautiful man, compared to Li Chengqi's skin, it can be said that he is more than that.

"Lord Wei is here to find my second master?" Shen Yan didn't answer him, but asked him why he appeared here.

"The saint has made a decision," he raised his head a little, but he didn't look directly at Shen Yan, "I heard that you haven't left Beijing yet, so I'll come over to inform you." ”

"It must be good news." Shen Yan looked at him, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

He glanced at her, and walked straight into the inn—he didn't bother to talk to a woman.

Shen Yan sneered, he was still like that! She looked into the distance and said to herself: Wait, one day, I will trample you under my feet.

She soon went to Lee Seung-mao's house and listened to what Wesley had to say to him.

"The army of Nanzhao captured the surrounding cities of our country, and the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty were unwilling to lead the army south. I set an example, and the matter of the Hou Mansion was solved. ”

The border city has fallen? When Shen Yan heard the news, she couldn't help but be shocked. The border city fell, so are Li Chengqi and Huo Qing safe and sound?

Her worries are also Lee's worries. After hearing Weasley's words, he also looked worried.

Seeing that Li Chengmao and Shen Yan were not grateful to him, Wesley looked uneasy and couldn't help frowning in confusion.

Li Chengmao realized that he hurriedly said: "Lord Wei risked his life in exchange for the Hou Mansion's thoughtfulness, and this time, the Hou Mansion will not look at each other." ”

"Don't be too happy," Wesley said in a deep voice, hiding the doubts on his face, "The emperor also ordered that in order to prevent the war from becoming tight, all princes and generals should contribute early, and the grain harvested this autumn should be left for a year's food, and the rest should be handed in." ”

This policy has finally come. Shen Yan didn't think it was a disaster, but was proud. In the spring, she was right to let the Hou Mansion plant fruit trees on a large scale. As soon as the official document is issued, everyone in the Hou Mansion should look at her with blue eyes.

Li Chengmao smiled happily and immediately said: "The Hou Mansion is only afraid that it won't be able to produce much food, so it can only pay more." ”

Everyone knows that when a war breaks out, no amount of money is as important as food. Hearing him say this, Wesley naturally asked the reason, and Li Chengmao explained to him that he looked at Shen Yan's mood even more incredulously. Little woman, how can you have such knowledge?

"Hmph." He made a nasal voice, and still smiled disdainfully at Shen Yan on his face. Then, without a word of farewell, he was about to leave.

"Big ...... Master Wei," Li Chengmao hurriedly called, and when Wesley stopped, he said gently, "Lord Wei has gone to the battlefield, take care." ”

Weasley was silent and strode out the door.

After he left, Shen Yan asked Ding Quan and Xiyu to retreat, and then looked at Li Chengmao worriedly and said, "The border city has fallen, and I don't know if your eldest brother is okay." The treasure of the previous dynasty, I don't know if they found it. ”

"Sister-in-law, do you want to ask Master Wei to help?" Li Chengmao asked, "If he sees the eldest brother and them in the border city, he may be able to keep the eldest brother and them safe." ”

"By no means," Shen Yan said resolutely, "If your eldest brother and they are really in danger and are known by Lord Wei, I am afraid that Lord Wei will not only not be able to send charcoal in the snow, but will make it worse." ”

"Sister-in-law, why did you say that about Master Wei?" It was an insult to him, the real big brother, that she thought so. Is his eldest brother the kind of person she thinks?

"You trust him so much?" Shen Yan laughed, and did not argue with it, but said: "In short, I can't trust him, and the second master must not go his own way." ”

Li Chengmao wanted to persuade her, but seeing her resolute expression, he gave up. Nodding, he said, "Let's go downstairs for dinner." After finishing the meal, we will return to Ning'an City. ”

While they were eating, an acquaintance came to their table. This person is not an outsider, it is Gu Chongzhi who finally discovered Shen Yan and Li Chengmao in the capital.

Gu Chongzhi, the current prime minister, has not seen him for a year, his body is plump, his originally tall and thin figure is now much fuller, because of his power, his spirit is also brighter than before, and now it looks like a handsome person.

Shen Yan and Li Chengmao got up, saluted, and let him sit down. They no longer welcomed him, and they did not dare to ignore his status as prime minister.

"The one who came to ask Wesley to do something was not Ning Anhou, but a concubine of Ning Anhou and a younger brother born to a concubine. Why is that? Gu Chongzhi smiled, his words full of pastime.

Li Chengmao and Shen Yan tacitly ignored it. He felt bored, and soon said fiercely: "Don't be complacent too early!" Do you really think Weasley can shelter you? He's just a soldier in the army, can he still fight me as a prime minister? As he spoke, there was a smug glint in his eyes again.

"He's just a small soldier now, and when he comes back from victory, I'm afraid he won't." Shen Yan looked at Gu Chongzhi seriously and couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Chongzhi's eyes were cold, and he really seemed to be stimulated. In this way, his relationship with Weasley is not as good as Wesley said. Just imagine, there are two big red people in front of the saint, how can these two big red people really get along?

How good would it be for them to be able to dog-eat-dog? Shen Yan thought viciously.

"Master Gu, don't get me wrong," Seeing Gu Chongzhi's thoughtful look, Li Chengmao was only afraid that he would take Shen Yan's words seriously, and then it would be unfavorable to Wesley, so he hurriedly explained with a smile, "Where does my sister-in-law understand about officialdom?" You are the prime minister, even if Lord Wei wins the battle and comes back and is promoted, can you still be bigger than you, the prime minister? Since the previous dynasty, the prime minister has been above 10,000 people under one person, and in the current dynasty, only Lord Gu can do it. ”

Gu Chongzhi was very happy to hear his words, although he also knew that the other party was just flattering.

"Don't forget, Master Wei has military power." Shen Yan didn't give Li Chengmao any face, and poured another scoop of cold water on Gu Chongzhi's face, who had just shown a little smile. She also said: "No matter how big a civilian official is, can he be bigger than a military attache who is good at using soldiers?" What's more, now is the time when military needs to be relied upon? ”

"Sister-in-law!" Li Chengmao frowned and looked at Shen Yan, and his words were almost drinking.

"Whether he will be able to win the battle is unknown." Gu Chongzhi got up with a big move and walked away.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to kill Master Wei?" Li Chengmao looked at Shen Yan and never believed that she was quick to speak. (To be continued.) )
