Chapter 156: Persuasion
Almost a ghost, Shen Yan actually responded to Li Chengmao's request, came to the bedside, and lay down on the outside of his vacated side. After www.biquge.info lying down, she felt extremely embarrassed. And just when she was embarrassed, Li Chengmao grabbed her hand.
He looked as if he knew he didn't have long to live. He finally asked her, "Do you like An Yangping?" Although it is a question, there is no doubt in his words. And, when he asked it, he was so calm, as if he had accepted the fact.
"How do you know?" Shen Yan didn't answer "yes" or "no", and asked him directly. She was in front of him, but she tried her best to hide her liking for An Yangping. She never knew that not only women are sensitive to the feelings of men and women, but men are also sensitive when dealing with men and women.
"I didn't guess wrong." Her rhetorical question undoubtedly gave Li Chengmao a positive answer. But Li Chengmao knew that she liked An Yangping, but she was not half excited, but her words were full of self-pity after pretending to be calm.
"Rather," he added, "how would you, after seeing him, deliberately avoid my overtures?" β
"Emotional matters, don't force them." Shen Yan didn't want to say these things to him when his physical condition was so bad, but since he had already guessed it herself, she didn't need to hide it. She simply let him know exactly that what she liked was An Yangping, not him. She pushed a little harder, trying to pull her hand out.
"Just this once." Li Chengmao grabbed it tightly, for fear that she would escape, and said in a hurry, "This is the last time." "Whatever will be death. Still alive, this is the last time I will catch her hand. What she likes is An Yangping. Not him, as long as she's happy. He thought he could face her with a smile.
This night, Shen Yan didn't know how she fell asleep, but she knew that he didn't let go of her hand until she was tired. Of course, he only held her hand and did not make superfluous movements.
When she woke up the next day, she was curled up. With her face facing him and her bosom against him, it was as if she had had a good night. They woke up almost at the same time. When she flicked her eyelids open, he opened them and looked at her lazily with the eyes that had just woken up and were still a little foggy. After a brief moment of panic, he smiled shallowly at her.
Shen Yan almost bounced up and sat up. When she got out of bed, she was busy and looked very embarrassed. Everything is in order. She went out to find Sima Xiao.
Under the inquiry all the way, she has been going in the direction where the flowers are in full bloom - Sima Xiao, like her, is also a person who loves flowers and cherishes flowers.
The subordinates of the General's Mansion told her that Sima Xiao lived in Lixuan Garden. From the guest room to Lixuan Garden, you will pass through the main courtyard where Sima Wenyong lives. Shen Yan chanted the Buddha all the way: Bodhisattva blessed, and then passed through the main courtyard. Don't meet Sima Wenyong. understood Sima Wenyong's brutal temperament, and she was a guest. I'm a little scared.
And the reality is often that they are afraid of what comes. Just as she was glad that she had walked through the gate of the main courtyard, Sima Wenyong's voice sounded behind her. He flirtatiously called her "Madame Bai".
Hear the voice. Shen Yan's heart also forgot to skip a beat. But she had to turn around and say good morning to her with a pleasant face.
"Where are you going, Madame Bai?" Sima Wenyong inquired and walked up to her, and at a very close distance from her, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "There is a special fragrance on Mrs. Bai's body. As he spoke, he held out a hand to her.
Shen Yan took a step back, hurriedly avoided him and said, "General, please respect yourself." β
Hearing this, Sima Wenyong was not ashamed, but laughed out loud, but after laughing, he said with a serious face: "Mrs. Bai is my guest, how can I be rude to you?" It's just a joke. "His appearance at the moment can be described as innocent.
Shen Yan couldn't figure out whether what he said was true or false. It is said that she is a few years older than him, and the concubines in his collection are all charming and moving, and he shouldn't be lustful for her. But he repeatedly showed jokes to her, which really puzzled her. Is it really just a joke? Even so...... She thought about it for a while, stepped forward, pretended to be high and deep and circled around him, and said, "The general made such a joke with a married woman of mine, but I don't know what was funny?" Why don't I find it funny at all? In front of my husband, the general dares to talk nonsense like this, in front of my friend Prince Anyang, do you dare too? β
"Do you think I'm afraid of him?" Sima Wenyong immediately smiled, his face annoyed.
"The general is not afraid of heaven and earth, how can he be afraid of Prince Anyang?" Shen Yan smiled, solemnly committed to it, and then left.
"You haven't told me where you're going?" Sima Wenyong didn't forget to ask.
Shen Yan turned around and replied respectfully: "I hit it off with the general's wife and wanted to go and see her." β
Looking at her departing back, Sima Wenyong squinted his eyes gloomily, and all he thought about was An Yangping's arrogant appearance in front of him. For many years, he has never been able to think of a suitable way for him to willingly surrender his heart, and now this woman is ...... He curled the corner of his lips and muttered, "Shen, Yan'er." β
When Shen Yan came to Lixuan Garden, she felt that the fragrance of flowers in the garden was intoxicating. Such a fragrance reminded her of the Imperial Fragrance Garden where she lived in Ning'an Hou's Mansion. But I don't know, what does the Ning'an Hou Mansion look like today?
Knowing that Shen Yan was coming, Sima Xiao was very happy to welcome him out. She said: "My Lixuan Garden, there are few serious people who will come all year round. "Among the people who didn't come, I'm afraid Sima Wenyong was also included.
Sima Wenyong married her, but it was just out of the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents. In the past two years, there have been no heirs between the two, let alone any affection at all. Sima Xiao can only be accompanied by flowers and pass the lonely time day after day.
Shen Yan praised the flowers in her garden for growing well, but she said sadly: "I am happy to see the flowers blooming." But in winter, when these flowers and plants wither, the joy of the heart does not leave a trace. β
"Then there are more flowers that can bloom in winter, such as winter orchids, poinsettias, narcissus, plum ......" Shen Yan said with great interest many flowers that will bloom in winter.
Sima Xiao was very happy to hear it, and some of them were nicknames that she had never heard before.
So, the two just talked about flowers, and then talked about the kung fu of tea, and then, Shen Yan made up a lie, telling her poor life experience, and the story of how she and "Bai Zhong" fell in love, which finally led to the incident of "Dendrobium is hard to find".
She said: "It's a pity that Gongzi Anyang can't find Hai Hu everywhere, and he can't save my husband's life." My husband and I, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid it can only be separated forever. β
She showed seven points of sadness and three points of pretending to be strong, which made Sima Xiao move to tears. Sima Xiao had tears in his eyes, but he didn't forget to comfort Shen Yan and said: "Don't worry, with the great doctor of Anyang, the poison in Bai Gong's body will definitely be solved." β
"There is a prescription, but there is no medicine, which is tantamount to a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice." Shen Yan sighed, "Even if it is the son of Anyang, he is only afraid of being weak to return to the sky." β
"Actually, it doesn't have to be a dendrobium." Sima Xiao finally relented. She was moved by the hot love between "Mrs. Bai" and "Bai Zhong", envy and pity, she didn't want to look at such a loving couple, because she "didn't want to offend the dead" and separated. She thought that even if she couldn't recover because she offended her dead sister, she would not regret letting the couple live together in a happy life.
She finally said that her sister's bones might be able to replace Dendrobium and save the life of "Bai Gong". Hearing her say this, Shen Yan held her hand tightly and cried.
She is not a person who can cry if she wants to, so the tears she shed this time are not fake. She cried because she was grateful. Sima Xiao is a woman worthy of her respect. just thought that her husband was Sima Wenyong, and she couldn't help but feel that she was not worth it.
After thanking him for his kindness, Shen Yan asked Sima Xiao: "Mrs. General, have you ever thought about leaving the General's Mansion and finding another place to live that suits you?" β
"What do you mean by that?" Sima Xiao is not a stupid person. Of course, she knew what Shen Yan meant when she said this, but she didn't expect her to say such a thing, and she herself had never thought about such a thing. General's Mansion, how can she get rid of it if she wants to?
Shen Yan looked at her with pity and didn't say anything more. Come to think of it, how can Sima Xiao be like her Shen Yan, except for a child, there are no other relatives, so you can go wherever you want? Even if she dared, her mother's family wouldn't allow itβwhat a glory it was for her daughter to be the wife of an undefeated warrior of the Jokhang Dynasty!
Back in the guest room, Shen Yan wanted to tell An Yangping about Sima Xiao's promise to use her sister's bones as soon as possible, and rushed to his room, but he was nowhere to be seen. Presumably, he went to the palace to face the saint. She had to wait quietly for him to return. But she was overjoyed, and was finally noticed by Li Chengmao.
"Why are you so happy?" Lee Seung-mao asked her.
"You'll find out in two days." Shen Yan raised the corners of her lips, and her smile was so bright.
Is such a bright smile because of An Yangping? A faint pain crossed Li Chengmao's heart.
After a while, An Yangping returned. Shen Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked him, "How?" Did your emperor promise to help you find Dendrobium? β
An Yangping's answer was a surprise to both Shen Yan and Li Chengmao. An Yangping said: "Our emperor as early as a year ago, because a concubine was sick and needed to use dendrobium, he had been looking among the people, but to no avail. β
When Li Chengmao heard this, the little hope he had was also extinguished, and he couldn't help but lower his eyes quietly. Death doesn't seem terrible, it's terrible to be separated from the woman you love.
"That's the bones of the general's wife's sister." Shen Yan said and glanced at the surprised Li Chengmao, and finally fell on An Yangping's face, and told him: "The general's wife has already promised me that she can take her sister's bones and give Chengmao medicine instead of Hai Dendrobium." β
An Yangping was overjoyed, but before he could say anything, Sima Wenyong's voice suddenly sounded at the door.
"Such a big thing, how can it be done by the Lord?"
He also knew that the bones of his wife's dead sister could be used as a substitute for dendrobium! (To be continued.) )
