Chapter 112: Anxiety
Wei Jiuting was in a hurry, and Li Chengqi was inconvenient to ask him what happened, so he had to go. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ After info, he couldn't help but think: something must have happened in the palace. He suddenly thought that if it went well, Huo Qing should put the fake brocade box back at this time, if it didn't go well...... Could it be that something happened in the palace that someone found out that the brocade box was missing? Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Shen Yan, who soon knew about this, was also full of worries. But she knows as well as Li Chengqi that no matter how anxious they are, there is no way. All they can do is wait a day. If Huo Qing didn't come back or didn't give them news before dark tomorrow, then what happened in the palace must have something to do with Huo Qing.
The next day, the two waited anxiously for a whole day, but they never saw Huo Qing come back or the message he sent.
In this case, Jiao Huaiqing volunteered: "Shall I go to the palace to have a look?" By sending back the incense, I went into the palace to see what had happened. β
Li Chengqi and Shen Yan exchanged glances, and finally nodded in agreement.
Shen Yan only felt that this Jiao Huaiqing had finally come in handy, but I didn't know if his trip would have a role. In any case, when he set off, she did not forget to tell him the phrase "be careful in everything".
"Cousin-in-law, don't worry." Jiao Huaiqing is full of spirits, but he is very confident.
After he left, Li Chengqi always couldn't settle down. He said: "Huo Qing must have had an accident, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of a way to send me a message." β
Shen Yan and Li Chengmao naturally persuaded him that it was useless to be anxious, and it was better to wait for the news with a relaxed heart.
"Do you know that Huo Qing is like a brother to me?"
Shen Yan nodded. He took his hand and comforted, "Don't worry anyway, let's wait." β
Li Chengqi's anxiety and restlessness. Can others persuade them in a few words? He nodded, but asked Shen Yan and Li Chengmao to go out.
"Big Brother ......"
Li Chengmao also wanted to persuade. However, he was stopped by Shen Yan's gesture with a look. Shen Yan said to Li Chengqi gently: "It's okay for you to be quiet alone." Immediately, she led Li Chengmao out of the house.
When he came to the flower hall, Li Chengmao saw that Shen Yan's expression was more serious than when he was in the house, and he hurriedly advised her not to worry too much. He also said: "If something really happens, my sister-in-law may ask my uncle for help." β
"I hope my life is still alive." Shen Yan sighed secretly, sat down and fell into deep thought. Li Chengmao saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he took his leave with his resignation.
This night was another sleepless night.
At noon the next day, Jiao Huaiqing's news came. In the letter, he said that Huo Qing had rescued Master Yuanzhi. Under the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, Master Yuan Zhi was captured with an arrow in his body, and Huo Qing fell off the cliff and his life and death were uncertain.
Hearing this, Li Chengqi was going to send someone to look for Huo Qing at the bottom of the cliff, claiming that he wanted to see people alive and corpses when he died.
"No!" Shen Yan hurriedly stopped. She knew that the cliffs that Huo Qing fell into were craggy and rocky, and ordinary people would definitely die if they fell, and if someone like Huo Qing who was good at kung fu fell, it would probably be a life of nine deaths. She thought that people must be looking for it. But the Hou Mansion couldn't send someone to find it. The emperor knew that Huo Huwei had contact with Li Chengqi, and if the Hou Mansion sent someone out, it would inevitably arouse people's suspicion that Huo Huwei's actions were related to Li Chengqi, and the result was only exposed. For this. Shen Yan proposed to find Huo Qing, and her brother-in-law Bai Zhong quietly arranged it. She also said: "I know that you regard Huo Huwei as a brother, and his life and death are more important than caring about yourself. But you must not be impulsive in this matter. You have to trust me. β
"Big brother, sister-in-law is right. Let the sister-in-law find Bai Gongzi to deal with the matter of finding people. Li Chengmao also advised.
"It's fine." Li Chengqi thought for a while and said, "But I also have to go to the capital." I don't know how much Master Yuanzhi is injured, but I have to see him. Saying that, he looked at Shen Yan and instructed, "The matter of finding Huo Qing will be handed over to you." In any case, find him back. β
Shen Yan nodded deeply to reassure him.
Soon, Li Chengqi packed some clothes and set off for the capital. Jiao Shi and Wei Min and others, he only said that he would go to Yongzhou to meet an old friend.
He didn't look for anyone else when he went to the capital, only Wei Jiuting. He asked Wei Jiuting to help him figure out where Master Yuan Zhi was imprisoned, and even asked him to think of something to be his internal response and allow him to rescue Yuan Zhen.
For the first time, Wei Jiuting rejected him; The second time, Wei Jiuting still rejected him; The third time, he said that he would also risk his life no matter what, and Wei Jiuting agreed. Wei Jiuting said that he didn't want to affect his two younger sisters because of his sister-in-law's mistakes, so he had to commit this risk himself.
On the other hand, at Shen Yan's begging, Bai Zhong found a few trustworthy friends to find Huo Qing. However, after two days and two nights of searching, they finally returned in vain.
Hearing such news, Shen Yan felt that it was good news. Since there was no corpse, she believed that Huo Qing must still be alive.
In this way, while waiting for Huo Qing's news and Li Chengqi's return, no matter how calm her heart was, she became a little anxious after the seventh day. However, Li Chengmao, as in the past, was calm without any waves.
On this day, Shen Yan finally couldn't help her anxious mood, and took the excuse of going to the school to see Li Chengmao in the school. This was the first time in the past seven days that she had met Li Chengmao privately -- uncle and sister-in-law were different, especially when the eldest brother was not at home, they were seen when they met in private, and they were afraid of attracting gossip.
"I don't know why your eldest brother hasn't come back yet."
"It should be soon," Li Chengmao said with relief, "Sister-in-law just rest assured." β
"Guard Huo has no news either." Shen Yan's face was full of sadness.
"All we can do now is wait." Li Chengmao said that when he bumped into Shen Yan's eyes looking at him, he smiled encouragingly at her.
Seeing his smile, Shen Yan also smiled. She put aside her worries for a moment and looked into the distance. Her gaze, however, was unintentional, and she saw two children hiding behind a tree with crooked necks. One of them was extremely handsome, and Shen Yan thought he was a girl. Thinking like this, she asked Li Chengmao: "The school also recruits female students?" β
"There have never been female students."
"Then ...... he," Shen Yan motioned to Li Chengmao to look at the child hiding behind the tree and asked, "What's his name?" β
"He's a beggar, I don't know his name, he came to the school, and we called him Lian Win."
"Win-streak." Shen Yan smiled and looked straight over. Until this moment, Lian Ying and his partner ran away like two frightened cats.
Lian Ying asked his partner Zhili: "Is that woman just now the favorite woman of Lord Hou?" β
"I don't know, but I guess it's her, only she'll come to the academy." Zhili's face is chubby, and he looks a little silly compared to the clever and clever Lian Win.
Lian Ying nodded, and looked back at Shen Yan again.
"All the children here must be taught well, and they will all have a great effect in the future." Shen Yan instructed Li Chengmao.
"At first, I didn't understand the intention of my eldest brother and sister-in-law to build a school," Li Chengmao said with a smile, "Since I knew my eldest brother's true identity, I understood." β
Shen Yan hugged him and smiled, but did not make a sound. came out and talked to Li Chengmao, and her anxiety had calmed down a lot. She didn't stay long, and soon said that there were still unhandled chores and she was going back to the Hou Mansion.
Walking out of the door of the school, she saw the very good-looking child - Lian Ying. This time he was aloneβhis honest companion was not with him. Presumably, he deliberately came with Shen Yan.
Shen Yan stopped his pace and stretched out his hand to beckon him to him. He looked straight at her, and there was no fear in his eyes of the living.
"How do you follow me? But have something to say to me? Shen Yan smiled and asked him gently.
"You're Mrs. Ohira?" Lian Ying asked.
Shen Yan nodded, and at the same time surprised by his direct question.
"May I go to the Hou Mansion to serve you, Lady Daping?"
When he said this, Shen Yan was even more surprised, and Shen Yan couldn't help but ask him, "Why are you going to serve me?" There is good food in the school, there is also a place to sleep, and classmates, don't you like it? β
"I want to repay Mrs. Ohira's kindness." Lian Ying looked at Shen Yan without blinking, "They all said that it was Mrs. Daping who asked Master Hou to open this school." β
Hearing such words, Shen Yan inevitably felt a warmth in her heart, as if she had harvested fruits in autumn. She told him: "If you want to be grateful, study hard, and grow up to get ahead, which is the greatest reward for me and Lord Hou." You know what I mean? β
"I understand, but my service by your side does not affect my learning." Lian Ying was stubborn, but he still wanted Shen Yan to accept him.
Shen Yan laughed and said, "You are a boy, how can you follow me?" β
Lian Ying was silent.
Seeing that he looked a little depressed, Shen Yan smiled and promised: "When you grow up, I'll let you come to Hou Ye's side and serve Hou Ye, okay?" β
When Lian Ying heard this, his eyes lit up, "What does Mrs. Daping say?" β
Shen Yan nodded. What she saw was just an innocent and innocent little boy.
"Mrs. Ohira, what about me?" At this time, Lian Ying's partner Zhili ran out, and he asked Shen Yan expectantly, "When I grow up, can I also serve Master Hou like Lian Ying?" β
"What's your name?" Shen Yan asked.
"My name is Zhili."
Looking at the naΓ―ve energy bubbling up and down his body, Shen Yan liked it, and agreed with a smile. Before leaving, she instructed Lian Ying and Zhili, telling them to study hard and learn more skills, so that they can do things in the Hou Mansion in the future.
And when she got into the carriage and went out for a while, Lian Ying chased after her while shouting something. She hurriedly asked Erhu to stop, lifted the curtain and asked Lian Ying what else was going on.
Lian Ying asked her: "Mrs. Daping, can I often visit you in the Hou Mansion in the future?" β
Shen Yan didn't know why this child was so sticky to herself, but seeing his stubborn and well-behaved appearance, she agreed.
After leaving the school, Xiyu, who was walking beside the carriage, pouted and said his thoughts, "Miss, I think that kid named Lian Ying is very weird. He slaps Miss like that, doesn't he want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix? β
"But how can a teenager have so many thoughts?" Shen Yan didn't care. On the contrary, she felt that when she saw Lian Ying's face, she felt a sense of familiarity in her heart. (To be continued.) )
