26. Night Tour

Shen Yu didn't expect to hear Huo Zongyuan's name again, but it was from the mouth of His Royal Highness King Duan. She hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Is it the little grandfather in the uncle's mansion?" ”

"The little grandfather of Uncle Guo's mansion ......" Xu Yan read this title, a hint of laughter flashed in his eyes, and said, "It's him." ”

"I guess I know each other." Shen Yan looked up at him, "Why did the prince ask about this?" ”

Xu Yan slowly paced towards the house, and Shen Yan also jumped up and down, only to hear him say: "When I came back yesterday, I saw him go to your house, and I looked like that, but I was familiar with it." ”

Isn't it just familiar! Shen Yu secretly scolded Huo Zongyuan in her heart, that guy is a complete scoundrel, last year's tossing made the Shen family tremble, this time when he came to Luling, didn't he have a bad idea again?

The Shen family didn't have the capital to offend this master, even if Qin Yu helped him, it was limited, as for Jiang Wenying...... Although he can barely hold it down, when Huo Zongyuan really makes a mistake, he may not have any good strategy.

Shen Yan had a headache, glanced at Xu Yan, and suddenly blessed her heart, and hugged the little fox in her arms.

Since the fox can't deal with the wolf, what's the point of trying to borrow the tiger's might?

The idea was set, and Shen Yu said with a bitter face: "It's not." ”

Xu Yan turned his head to look at her, reached out for the tea on the table, and said slowly: "I heard that she went to your house to ask for a kiss?" ”

…… You have already found out, and you are asking me what I am doing! Shen Yu jumped over and sat down on the chair, and nodded dejectedly, "Last year, our family was torn apart, if it wasn't for my father who was carrying it, who knows what the situation would be now." "He came to the door again this time, but it happened that his father was not there, what should he do." ”

"It's just a teenager, and it's worth being so afraid of him?"

"Lord Wang, you are noble, where do you know our suffering. Our family has built a library building for decades, and the engravings in the bookstore have also been saved in a few rooms, although they are not rare treasures, but they are all heirlooms. Huo Zongyuan is good, he threatens to burn down the bookstore at every turn, and once he really burned a few baskets of movable type and new books for me, if it wasn't saved quickly, I'm afraid the bookstore would have been gone a long time ago! ”

Not only that, Huo Zongyuan came to the Shen family to hang out when he had nothing to do at that time, grinding and grinding hard to "ask for marriage", and the rogue means were used in turn, and he even blatantly brought people to rob his relatives, if Jiang Wenying and Qin Yu hadn't appeared, who would have stopped him?

That guy is like a bedbug that can't be killed, and he hasn't made much noise, so the government will only turn a blind eye, even if the Shen family really wants to report to the official, it won't be a big deal to put it in the court.

But he has always been haunted, and the disturbance of the door at two ends in three days is extremely annoying.

Xu Yan frowned and said, "How dare he be so presumptuous? ”

"What does he dare not do, in this city full of Luling, which one can control him!" Shen Yu thought of the old things, and she couldn't help but hate.

Xu Yan looked at her sideways, the little girl buried her head in the tabletop, although the tone was quite restrained, the fingers that picked the tabletop were very hard. At the beginning, Huo Zongyuan made trouble, and the neighbors more or less knew about it, and Xu Yan didn't take much effort to inquire clearly. He looked at the little girl's restrained appearance, and there was a sour taste in his heart.

If Shen Ming was still in the Shen family, would the situation be much better?

A child like Huo Zongyuan, what he is most afraid of is being a tough one, a scoundrel to a scoundrel, if anyone can beat him up a few times, he will probably be honest.

Shen Ming...... Thinking of that stubborn and tenacious figure, Xu Yan felt a little guilty.

"I'll clean him up." Xu Yan said categorically, "You can live in peace, if he dares to make trouble again, he will send someone back to me immediately." ”

Shen Yan didn't expect Xu Yan to be so kind, she was a little surprised for a while, but when she looked up at him, Xu Yan had already gotten up and said, "It's been boring for a few days, go out for a walk?" ”

"Okay!" Shen Yu was overjoyed, and asked Xu Yan to go back first, she changed into a simple outfit and rushed over.

The two still went out in the car, but Shen Yan was afraid of meeting acquaintances, so she wore a hat with black gauze on top.

The news of Xu Yan's return to Luling had already spread, and he didn't hide his whereabouts, walking in the market as usual, Shen Yan followed him closely, like an injured little guy. However, after all, she has a slender figure and light steps, and in the eyes of those who care, she can't help but wonder if His Royal Highness Duan Wang has a habit of raising children.

Shen Yu didn't notice this, just looked left and right happily.

Since she was injured in Chiayi, there has been more than a month, at first she lay on the couch to recuperate, all the way back to stay in the carriage, after returning to Luling and trapped in the garden for more than 20 days, it was really boring for too long, and now it is really a bit of the joy of the goldfinch out of the cage.

The two walked along the street for a long time, and Xu Yan was not badly interested, saying that he wanted to personally pick out some interesting gifts for his beloved princess niece and ask Shen Yan to help him. Shen Yu is also not polite, if she chooses a luxurious hairpin fat powder suitable for the identity of a princess, she may not have that kind of vision, but when it comes to interesting things...... The past six years of the market have not been in vain!

When the two of them looked for a restaurant to eat, Gu An had already carried large and small boxes in his hands.

Xu Yan is still unfinished, the lanterns on the street are lit up one by one in the twilight, the willows on the banks of the Meishui River passing through the city are graceful, the lanterns are reflecting the waves, and the silk bamboo and bamboo flutes are sounding, but they are full of soft and rich atmosphere.

He looked at Shen Yan, "Do you have the courage to swim in the Meishui at night?" ”

Shen Yu was eager to try. In the night of Meishui, she had heard Uncle Dong praise countless times, but she didn't have the opportunity to travel in person. Although Shen Ping has been lenient in the past few years, he will not allow her not to return home at night, except for a limited number of late returns, she usually does not leave the house half a step after dinner.

She was a little hesitant, weighing and swaying between the rules of the house and the beautiful scenery, and after fighting for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!" ”

Xu Yan smiled when he heard this, raised his glass and handed it to her.

Shen Yu was very happy this night, the night of Meishui was charming and charming, listening to the silk bamboo flute floating on the river, watching the stars falling in the water and swaying, leaning on the boat to drink tea and chat, that freedom and joy were lost for many years.

During the chat, Xu Yan mentioned the night in Mobei, saying that it was open and vast, the wind blew the grass and waves, and the midsummer night swept the sky, which made people's hearts high and bright.

That is the scenery in Shen Yan's long-term memory, although she has followed Shen Ping to a lot of places in her life, she has not been out of Wuchuan, Zhending, and Taining provinces, and she has not even been to the capital, let alone Mobei.

After chatting, Shen Yu actually felt a little reluctant and gave birth to longing for affection.

If she doesn't have to guard the family business, if her father can allow it, one day in the future, can she go to Mobei to see if it is similar to her memory?

returned at midnight, and the next day Shen Yu slept until the sun was shining.

After getting up, I was in a good mood, and I happily used it too early, but there was always some disgrace in the heather. This is very strange, Shen Yu couldn't help asking, Shi Nan prevaricated for a while, and finally couldn't resist Shen Yu's forced question, so he wanted to speak and stopped, "Slave maid...... Yesterday I went to the Zheng family......"

"Mr. Zheng, what happened to him?"

"No, no!" Shi Nan hurriedly shook his head, "His house is still locked, and there is nothing wrong, but the surrounding neighbors say that they haven't seen any movement inside for half a month." Oh, girl, don't worry! She pressed Shen Yan, who was about to get up, and said with relief: "It's just that the neighbors said so, no one knows how it is, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Duan will protect him, maybe it's nothing." ”

"If there's nothing to do, can Mr. Zheng stay at home for half a month?" Shen Yu was anxious, "Although the prince promised to take care of him, where can he always be considerate." No, I'm not at ease! ”

Shen Yan naturally didn't want to go and confirm it again, so she had to jump into Xu Yan's study, wanting to ask for news from him. It's a pity that Xu Yan is not in the house, only a long history that came with the car is here, this person is only in charge of the house's internal affairs, and he will never open his mouth to reveal his letter in other matters.

Shen Yu was anxious, Zheng Xun was Shen Ping's best friend, if something went wrong with him, how could Shen Ping feel good when he came back?

She couldn't care about anything, thinking that her leg injury was no longer in trouble, so she put on a hat and black veil, and wanted to go to Zheng's house to see it in person.

Before she jumped to the gate of the Lingering Garden, Xu Yan came back on horseback, and saw that she was jumping out like a rabbit despite the hindrance of heather, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Where to go?" ”

"Lord Wang!" Shen Yu seemed to see a savior, "Is there any news from Mr. Zheng recently?" ”

Xu Yan stiffened with a smile on his face and said, "There has been no news for half a month." ”

"How so? Didn't the prince say that he would take care of him! "Shen Yu is in a hurry.

"He went out to buy something but was missing, I sent people around to look for it, but there was no news." Xu Yan's face was slightly gloomy, "Someone should have hidden it." ”

"Who else could it be, it must be Xue Wanrong!" Shen Yu blurted out eagerly, "He killed Xuancheng Zhenren, persecuted Mr. Zheng several times, and forced people to die in order to seize the collection of books before, Lord Wang, Mr. Zheng must be more than lucky in his hands, do you plan to let him go?" ”

Xu Yan's eyes were cold, and he suddenly looked at Shen Yan, changing his previous calm state, and even the momentum around his body instantly became intimidating.

Shen Yu had never seen him like this, but she was frightened by him, and the rest of the words choked in her throat.

"Go back and rest!" Xu Yan solemnly ordered, "I will find Zheng Xun, don't toss." ”

Shen Yu looked at him blankly, skeptical of the credibility of this sentence. Seeing that she didn't move, Xu Yan had the intention of continuing to go out, but without saying a word, he reached out to hold her waist and took her back to the small courtyard directly.
