Shen Yan recognized that this carriage belonged to the Hou Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not long after, Li Chengqi, the Marquis of Ning'an, came out of the mansion, followed by a domestic servant with luggage, and no one else. But the servant waited for Li Chengqi to get into the car, so he put his luggage in the car and did not follow him.

When Li Chengqi's carriage and horse went away, Shen Yan put on the hat again, and pulled Bai Zhong to follow.

"Why do you want to follow Ning Anhou?" Bai Zhong asked.

"He's going to a place that has something to do with the brocade box that Empress Duanjing gave to my father." Shen Yan deliberately walked behind Bai Zhong and pretended to be his entourage.

The two followed cautiously all the way until Li Chengqi's carriage stopped in front of an inn. Li Chengqi got out of the car and said a few words to Xiao Er, who came out to greet him, and returned to the car. After a while, Huo Qing came out of the inn. He also took the improvised luggage.

"The place they are going to is afraid that it is not in Ning'an City, and we must also prepare our foot strength." Shen Yan pondered.

Hearing her say this, Bai Zhong looked around and quickly had an idea. When he found an acquaintance, he gave him a piece of silver, and told him to call three more brothers, and hire a carriage each, and hurry as fast as possible beyond the gates on the east, west, north, south, and north sides.

Shen Yan had to admire Bai Zhong's good popularity.

Li Chengqi's carriage kept moving in the direction of the East City Gate, and because it was slow, when he came to the East City Gate, Bai Zhong's friends had already prepared the carriage for Bai Zhong and Shen Yan. In this way, Bai Zhong and Shen Yan followed Li Chengqi and Huo Qing all the way smoothly.

said that Shen Yan's personal maid Xiyu bought food and returned to the gate of Ning'an Hou's Mansion, and her own lady was very anxious when she disappeared. She searched carefully in the vicinity, and finally did not find Shen Yan's figure, but was bumped into by Jiao Huaiyu, the cousin of the Hou Mansion, and Jiao Huaiqing, the cousin.

"Isn't this Miss Shen's personal maid?" Jiao Huaiyu smiled slightly, but when he asked, he was sarcastic. "What are you doing sneakily in front of the Ning'an Hou Mansion? Dressed up like this, thinking no one would recognize it? ”

Jiao Huaiqing looked at Xiyu, but it was as light as a breeze.

"Can't I pass by?" Xiyu regards Jiao Huaiyu as her young lady's rival in love, and is very disrespectful to her, and, in her heart, the Jiao brothers and sisters are just parasitic on the existence of the Ning'an Hou Mansion, so she does not take the two of them in her eyes, and she is not afraid of offending them.

Jiao Huaiyu was naturally angry at her rudeness, but when she just wanted to teach Xiyu, a "dog and a powerful inferior", Jiao Huaiqing made a nasal voice to stop her.

Seeing her puffing out, Xiyu only snorted lightly, turned around and strode away.

Looking at her departing back, a clever speculation flashed in Jiao Huaiqing's eyes: "Look at her anxious appearance, something must have happened." ”

"That's right!" Jiao Huaiyu suddenly realized, "She appeared in front of the Hou Mansion, maybe it was Shen Yan's idea." Shen Yan wouldn't let her send a message to her eldest cousin, right? ”

Jiao Huaiqing thought about it and didn't make a sound.

"Brother, let's follow that girl, maybe we can find something." Jiao Huaiyu proposed.

"Hengzhu, we have nothing to do, so let's go up and take a look." Jiao Huaiqing did not object.

The two siblings quickly followed Xiyu. They clearly heard that Xiyu was anxiously asking the street vendors about their young lady.

An old man selling baked cakes on the side of the road said: "I saw Miss Shen dressed in a strange costume and followed Bai Zhong Gongzi to the direction of the East City Gate." ”

When Xiyu heard Bai Zhong's name, she immediately relaxed. Moreover, she decided to return to the Zhizhou Mansion and no longer look for the young lady. She thinks that with Bai Gongzi by her side, she doesn't need to worry about the safety of her young lady. Thinking like this, she turned in the direction of the Zhizhou Mansion.

"Then Shen Yan must have followed her eldest cousin to go out of the city." After Xiyu left, Jiao Huaiyu said very unhappily. She also complained to Jiao Huaiqing and said, "Brother, how can the songs you sang by the children in the Muslim market be useless to that Shen Yan?" She is still so unashamed to pester her eldest cousin, in case the eldest cousin is confused one day, how can she really welcome her in? ”

"Sister, don't worry, if she really continues to pester her cousin and block your way to becoming Mrs. Ning Anhou, I will definitely make her regret it." Jiao Huaiqing said relaxedly, but his eyes were full of malice.

"My brother is used to talking big." Jiao Huaiqing's words, Jiao Huaiyu scoffed, "Last time, you said that you wanted Shen Yan to be uncomfortable, but you just called a few children and sang a few ugly ballads." This time, what can my brother do? ”

Jiao Huaiqing laughed and said disapprerovitically: "I said, the good show is ahead." ”

Noon was approaching, and Shen Yan, who was still on an empty stomach, was already hungry, but they were in a hurry and didn't bring any dry food with her, she was hungry, and she could only swallow saliva.

Bai Zhong heard some strange screams from her stomach from time to time, and he couldn't help but laugh at her and sarcastically mock her, but he felt sorry for her in his heart, and complained that Li Chengqi and Huo Qing had traveled for so long, and they didn't want to find a place to rest and get something to eat. At the same time, he had doubts about Shen Yan's behavior of following Li Chengqi: "Do you think it is really necessary for us to follow Ning Anhou all the way like this?" In case Ning Anhou figured out the mystery of the brocade box, the first thing he would do when he returned to Ning'an City was to tell your father the mystery, then wouldn't we be blind all the way? ”

In fact, Shen Yan also felt that she had spent a lot of money, and she also doubted whether it was necessary for her to do this, but she still did it. She couldn't convince herself from the bottom of her heart that it was right to do this, but on the surface, she still had to persuade Bai Zhong confidently: "If Ning Anhou doesn't tell my father the answer to the riddle, my father won't be able to let go of this matter in his heart." I know my father, if he can't let go of this matter in his heart, he will definitely continue to associate with Ning Anhou in the future. ”

"Speaking of which, I really don't understand, why are you so opposed to your father's association with Ning Anhou?" Bai Zhong finally expressed the doubts in his heart, and he said with a smile: "As long as you don't have anything to do with Ning Anhou, what do you have to do with your father?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that he will have a lot of dealings with my father and make my father happy, and my father will promise me to be his wife?" Shen Yan clutched her stomach and looked at Bai Zhong, her eyes full of mischievous looks.

Hearing this, Bai Zhong was slightly stunned, and soon, he stretched out his index finger, pushed Shen Yan's forehead heavily, and said, "I'm afraid that you still want to marry into the Hou Mansion as a wife even if you dream, right?" ”

"They've stopped!" Shen Yan looked out the window and saw that the carriage in front of her had stopped in front of a roadside teahouse, and Li Chengqi and Huo Qing had entered the teahouse.

Shen Yan hurriedly asked Bai Zhong's friend to stop the carriage on the spot and stop moving forward.

"You dressed up like this, we just went into the teahouse to rest with them, and they wouldn't recognize you." Bai Zhong was afraid that Shen Yan would be hungry, so he suggested that she also go into the teahouse and get some food and drink.

"No, Guard Huo has seen me dressed like this, let's wait here."

However, after Shen Yan explained the fate between herself and Huo Qing to Bai Zhong, she passed about a cup of tea, and Li Chengqi and Huo Qing, who entered the teahouse, did not come out.
