29. Chapter 29
As soon as Governor Zhang turned around, he also saw it, his face turned white and red, and he hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "The second lady is not well, so take her back quickly." ”
Over there, Zhang Jinxiu dragged out a long voice, tilted her head, and looked innocent and coquettish: "I only remember that my mother gave a post to the official eunuch's wife and young lady, and I don't remember that I invited the businessmen to come, how did my sister come?" ”
Aunt Chong didn't want to participate in the junior's bickering and lost her identity, but after taking a look at her eloquent virtue, she said coldly: "She is my niece, I asked her to accompany me to the banquet, does the second lady have anything else to ask?" ”
But a broken household who can't get married, how can she make it difficult for her? Zhang Jinxiu saw that someone was protecting, and she was more and more annoyed, and was about to continue talking, when she suddenly saw a stern mother-in-law next to her coming over, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Aunt Chong pulled Chonglan back a few steps and said, "Gao Zhi didn't climb or not, and said something else, this is proud, I don't think this prefect's family has rules, and it is embarrassing for the guests like this by her daughter!" ”
Chonglan asked curiously, "What kind of high branches to climb?" ”
Aunt Chong said to Nunu outside the window: "See, the most handsome one outside is named Yan He, who was hit by Tanhua at a young age, and he can still be literate and martial, and he became the commander of Zheng Sanpin. ”
She pressed the flower between her eyebrows with a silk and sneered: "I don't see that not only the men of the Zhang family are holding on to him, but even the women are a little worried." Yan and people like him, he can't find what kind of people he wants, and he doesn't have to weigh his own catties if he wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix! ”
She had no virtue, but Chonglan thought about it and said with a smile: "With such a talent and appearance, anyone has a little thought." ”
Aunt Chong disagreed: "If I am definitely reluctant to let my daughter rush to the knots like this, whether I can tie the knots or not for the time being, first of all, the Qi Mansion is a pile of things, which one who loves the girl is willing to marry someone." ”
Chonglan has also been in Qi Guofu for a while, and she agrees with Aunt Chong's words, that family is bad enough.
Aunt Chong sighed, and then took her sign and said earnestly: "We don't ask to find a high-ranking person, if you find a kind and kind person, you can live happily for a lifetime, don't be discouraged, although it is difficult now, there will be great blessings waiting for you in the future." ”
Chonglan nodded, and a few more official ladies came over to pull her to talk, but as soon as she thought that Yan He was on the same boat with her, she felt like she was on pins and needles, and she cheered up and laughed with them for a while, so she shirked her discomfort, and after confessing her guilt, she said hello to Aunt Chong, and was ready to take a ship and retreat first.
She went out and ordered Qingge to call the boat, and she brought a hat to stand in the stern, and suddenly the sound of soap boots stepping on the board of the boat came from far and near, and she turned around to see it, and saw Yan He standing not far away, and she seemed a little surprised to see her.
The two were silent for a while at the same time, but Yan He spoke first: "Are you leaving?" ”
Chonglan saw that the ship had already sailed, and it was too late to say no at this time, so she could only smile awkwardly: "Yes, Governor Zhang opened this banquet for adults, will you leave?" ”
Yan He hummed: "There are still some trivial matters at home, so I have to go back first." He glanced at the large ship that Chonglan was shouting, and raised his lips: "It just so happens that I didn't call the boat, and I was annoyed that the boss would give me a ride." ”
There was no room for refusal when Chonglan saw him, so he had to smile and say: "How dare you share a boat with an adult, let's invite the adult first, and I'll just call another one." ”
Yan He suddenly calmed down, and paused for a while before he said slowly: "I didn't bring any money and the guards stayed on the shore." A very imperceptible embarrassment flashed quickly on his face.
This is a good reason, Chonglan suddenly felt that she was a little pitiful, and at this time it was too obvious to refuse, and barely held up a smile: "You please first." ”
Yan He didn't use the pedals of the ship, and stepped up to get on the boat steadily. Chonglan didn't have the same skills as him, and honestly stepped on the pedal to pass, just when a small wave hit, the place where the two boats met, she leaned back, but her hand was held by one hand, and then the whole person was planted in someone's arms.
His body stiffened, only feeling that the little hand he was holding was soft and silky, and the body leaning on his body was also fresh and bright, and the man next to him might not refuse this kind of flying blessing, but he didn't feel very happy, stiffened his body and took a few steps back, hesitated for a moment before raising his eyebrows and asked, "Have you washed your hands?" ”
Chonglan also replied with a stiff face: "It's washed." Then they went into the cabin hand in hand.
Seeing that she was also nervous, he calmed down, and in a blink of an eye, he was calm again, followed her into the cabin, sat down opposite her, folded his hands elegantly, saw that her expression was generally embarrassed and generally scared, turned his head and smiled, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Chonglan was thinking about the few Song Wu henchmen who had been wiped out by him, his heart was entangled, he hesitated, and simply said bluntly: "I'm thinking about how adults can let me go." ”
Yan He glanced at the coarse porcelain teacup with some disgust, but still didn't move after all: "I don't like to leave a handle in my actions, and I did think about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots at the beginning, but at this time and that time, you and I have no stake now, what good is it for me to kill you?" He looked at Chonglan, who was in good spirits, and chuckled again: "But it won't do me any good to keep you." ”
People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, Chonglan silently recited in his heart, and sighed: "What do adults want?" ”
Yan He handed over with a light look: "You are willing to give me whatever I want?" ”
His eyebrows and eyes are extremely romantic, and this look with this sentence is a bit like throwing flattering eyes, which makes people can't help but think about it, Chonglan can't help but turn his face away: "My lord, I might as well talk about it, as long as I can't do it, I will definitely not refuse." "The implication is beyond your power, then you will be left to fate.
Yan and Bai Jie's hands knocked on the table, and said casually: "You have been in business for many years, what is the most valuable thing in your hands?" ”
Chonglan was shocked, and could barely hide the panic in her eyes, so she could only cover it up by pouring tea, and after a cup of hot tea, she eased her expression and said with a smile: "My lord has a good eye, my most valuable thing should be the beauty statue made of the best fire jade and gold, if the adult likes it, I will send it to the adult house on the next day." ”
Yan He didn't answer, his face was still smiling, but his eyes were cold.
Chonglan pretended to be panicked, and said with his eyebrows pondered: "That's the mutton fat white jade bed, lying on it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it doesn't attract mosquitoes, and it is a very rare treasure." ”
Yan He raised his eyes slightly: "Really?" He looked at the river leisurely: "I heard that you have a few Dongying and alien technicians, who can make Dongying knives and firearms, but is it true?" ”
Chonglan's heart sank suddenly, and he reluctantly smiled: "My lord said that it was a joke, private weapons are a serious crime, where can I afford it?" Her heart was beating suddenly, Yan He said exactly the same, but these two things were not what she was looking for, but what the emperor wanted, if the method of making zuò leaked out, she would have ten heads that would not be enough to compensate, and the emperor would not be able to protect her.
Yan He lowered his eyes and said, "I never laugh." ”
Chonglan's fingertips trembled slightly, and she was about to reply, when suddenly the hull of the boat shook left and right, and then the sound of a few crossbows penetrating the plank of the ship, she stood up in a panic, and saw that the boatman who had just greeted them had been hit by several arrows, and staggered to the ground.
Yan He didn't have a saber on her body, and she tossed and turned lightly to avoid the arrows that were shot densely, but she was so miserable that she could only lie on the ground and cover it with the help of the table and stool, and asked intermittently: "What's going on?" ”
Yan He didn't care about answering, he looked at the few centipede speedboats that had been copied from the bread outside, his face was slightly cold, and he directly ordered: "Jump ship." ”
She didn't react, he pulled her arm and took her up, and plunged into the water, she grew up in the south, and the water nature was naturally excellent, and she was startled at the beginning and struggled to swim to the shore, and when she swam far enough to think of Yan He, she pulled her a hand, so it was a bit unrighteous to run, she hurriedly poked her head out to take a closer look, and saw that there were many corpses floating sideways around him, and he was floating motionless.
Is it not water? She was stunned in the water, thinking of his care a few days ago, and plunged into it again, wanting to swim back with him.
Yan He saw her come back again, seemed a little stunned, and then saw her make a few gestures with unknown meanings, and then pulled her to swim to the shore, fortunately at this time it was not far from the shore, and it was a smooth swim, she finally took him ashore, hid in the continuous aquatic grass, and she was tired and out of strength, and a finger could not move.
Both of them were soaked, she was motionless and half leaned on him, the unevenness was very distinct, he also froze in place and couldn't move, and then said slowly: "Actually, I also know how to water." ”
Chonglan lay down for a long time before he regained some strength, but his two arms trembled suddenly, and when he heard this, he exclaimed: "My lord, this is that you are not kind, why didn't you say it earlier!" "I knew she wouldn't have to be so tired and tired!
Yan He turned his head to look at her, twisted his eyebrows and said, "I just said it in the water, but you still hold me and don't let go." ”
Chonglan fell to the ground weakly and waved his hand: "The right to be sentimental to me." ”
Yan He said: "I just sent the message out, and the guards on the shore have already fought with the assassins, so now we can only hide here for a while." After he finished speaking, he looked down at the mud, sand and aquatic plants on the two of them, frowning and not speaking.
Chonglan said with a smile: "The situation is compelling, and the adults are dirty this time." Anyway, you don't have to ask me if I've taken a shower, we all took a shower. She didn't think it was appropriate until she teased him, and sneered at him and didn't speak.
Yan He looked at her sideways, feeling that the inexplicable sense of familiarity was getting stronger and stronger, he squinted and examined, but there was something wrong with it, the hairpin on her head fell somewhere, and the clothes on her body were also soaked, the white silk satin middle coat was close to her body, faintly revealing the innermost lilac color, lined with a furrow that seemed to be out of nowhere, his eyelids trembled, and he hurriedly turned his gaze, a pair of jade feet under the pleated skirt were not covered, half-hidden in the skirt, but more beautiful than fully exposed.
Looking left and right is not right, he pinched his eyebrows, and quietly turned his gaze, Rao is so, Chonglan also felt that something was wrong, a woman's feet could not be seen at will, she sighed: "My shoes!" Hurriedly pulled down the soaked skirt to cover it, blushed and didn't speak.
Yan He had no choice but to fix his gaze on her face, and Chonglan said stiffly: "I hope that today's events will not be spread by adults." ”
He hummed and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." After he finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Besides, it's nothing, how nervous are you?" ”
She smiled wryly and turned her head: "My adult and I don't have shared hardships and hardships. "It's a bit of self-entertainment.
Yan He didn't answer, and muttered, "Can you still go?" He saw Chonglan nodding, reached out to hold her wrist, helped her up, and the slender fingers slid down her arm all the way as if out of nowhere, and got a resentful look from her, and her eyes were rippling, and they crashed into people's hearts.
He turned his head away, and when he tried to look again, she had already turned her face away. It was inconvenient to walk barefoot, so he helped her walk for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of brushing and pulling on the water and grass, as well as the voice of a shouting person, she listened for a while and breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be the officers and soldiers who are coming." After she finished speaking, she was a little flustered: "How can I see people like this?" ”
Yan He looked at her sideways, such a disheveled person, if he was seen by more than a dozen military men, he didn't want that reputation, he motioned for her to sit down, first hid in the grass, and sat down himself, only exposing half of his shoulders and one head.
Chonglan just sat down on her knees, and was hugged by him coldly, she was so shocked that she raised her eyes to look at it, and found that he still looked indifferent and calm.
At this time, a few guards came over, and when they saw him, they were pleasantly surprised: "My lord." As he spoke, he was about to push aside the vines and walk in.
Chonglan was lying in his arms, her heart was pounding, if she was seen, she would really jump into the Qinhuai River and couldn't wash it away.
Yan He stopped him with a cold face: "You go and help me find two sets of clothes, it's inconvenient for me to come out like this." He has a serious face, but his fingertips can be placed on her shoulders, if he is about to leave, it is not like a gentleman's style, but he does not want to take advantage of others.
The attendant ordered a ban, but he didn't expect that there was a person lying in the grass, so he bowed down and took the order, and when he got his clothes and brought them over, Yan He first sent the people around him away, and then chose a small set for her: "Put it on and go." ”
Chonglan breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't pick it up, in case someone found her and asked her where the clothes came from, how would she answer? She walked out like a thief with her waist bent, and only took a few steps before she heard his voice Shi Shiran coming over: "There are still accounts between us that have not been settled, you had better know in your heart." ”
Chonglan staggered, quickened her pace and walked out, it was also her luck, just out of the puddle of water and grass she met the person sent by Aunt Chong to find her, Qingge was also waiting there after being rescued, Aunt Chong saw Chonglan and repeatedly ordered someone to prepare ginger soup and clean clothes, shoes and socks, and pulled up and down to look at it a few times, and said urgently: "Let me see where it hurts?" He patted his thigh again and said angrily: "The assassin who killed a thousand knives should be beheaded together." If you have three long and two short, how can I explain to your father! ”
Chonglan found an ordinary inn to change her clothes, and came out to comfort her: "I was also startled just now, and hurriedly jumped off the boat and ran away, isn't it okay now, auntie, don't worry." ”
Aunt Chong still had palpitations, and held her hand and asked; "It's scary, how the hell did you get out?"
Of course, Chonglan didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only deal with it casually: "It's not me who they want to kill, I saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly jumped off the boat and went ashore, and they didn't care about chasing me, so I escaped." ”
She said it lightly, but Aunt Chong was still frightened, and hurriedly sent her back to the house, and then left after a moment of relief.
The things she had lost were nothing else, but if the embroidered shoes were picked up, no more, no less, it would be a trouble, and she ordered someone to go to the shore to look for a while, but she really didn't find it.
After she returned home, she sneezed several times in a row, and simply said that she was sick and recuperated at home. What she didn't expect was that Uncle Chong also came to visit the patient.
Chonglan sat in a hat chair in a half-worn fruity green jacket, and said to Chong Dà Burgpi with a smile: "Uncle is here, my niece is sick and can't be entertained." ”
Chong Ruifeng saw that she was perfunctory, and he was secretly angry, and he still smiled on his face: "I heard that you were frightened and sick, and I came to visit, and now I can rest assured that you are in good health." ”
Chonglan said casually: "Thank you uncle for your care, it's really hard for you to come from afar, but it's a pity that I'm not feeling well, if the uncle has nothing to do, I won't be able to stay as a guest." ”
Chong Ruifeng still sat there unmoving, opened his mouth and smiled: "Don't rush to catch up with people, niece, I really have something to ask you." He suddenly sank his face and raised his voice: "I heard that you have a relationship with that Jiang Xiucai, is this true?" ”
Chong Ruifeng wanted to fiddle with her marriage for more than a day or two, Chong Lan's heart sank, and he still held his elbow carelessly: "Uncle listened to the rumors, what did he not do, why can't I understand?" ”
Chong Ruifeng saw her pretending to be stupid, and sneered: "When you were sick, Jiang Xiu came to visit many times, is this true?" ”
Chonglan said: "So what? Our family and the Jiang family were old neighbors at the beginning, and Gongzi Jiang and his second brother were friends, what is so strange about how many times he has visited the house, and it is also worth the uncle to come to the door for this special special? ”
Chong Ruifeng slapped the table case; "Don't talk about him left and right, now it's rumored that you can't get married, and you can't bear it in the boudoir, so you and Jiang Xiucai have a head and end, I can't care if you don't check it yourself, but the reputation of the heavy family can't let you spoil it!"
Chonglan's face sank: "Uncle should pay attention to proportions when he speaks, don't just throw a basin of sewage on people!" ”
