14. Trouble
The matter of Xuancheng's real person's ascension did not cause too much turmoil in Luling City, that is, there was a lot of sensation in the book collection circle for that set of ancient Jane, and they all guessed that the villain Wujiang took advantage of the master's ascension, knocked out the junior brother and fled with the Gu Jian.
The government didn't know about Gu Jian's affairs, but after all, it involved human life, and it was so strange that it couldn't help but be tracked down for two days. However, after waking up for hundreds of miles, he was like dementia, and he didn't know anything, and the little Taoist priest who fled had no boundaries and no one alive or dead, and the matter was over.
The Shen family was also busy packing at this time, preparing to leave for Duqu.
Although Shen Yan has followed Shen Ping out and wandered around a lot over the years, Mrs. Shen is not at ease after all, and she told her left and right, for fear that Shen Yan would suffer or cause trouble outside, so she instructed Shi Nan to protect her and not to wronged Shen Yan.
Shi Nan will do a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, and every time Shen Yan goes out, she takes her with her, so she naturally responds with a voice.
Shen Ping is a person with elegant poetry and books, this time he went everywhere to persuade books, and he had to choose some gifts to bring, plus Mrs. Shen wrapped a lot of clothes and fruits for Shen Yu, which took up half of the carriage.
Shen Yu was so happy that she chose a light outfit and followed Shi Nan on horseback, followed by Uncle Zhou, who often followed Shen Ping out.
When he arrived at the gate of the Lingering Garden, Xue Wanrong's car had already arrived, and what was surprising was that in addition to the two accompanying officials and several attendants, there was another carriage that was obviously used by his daughter's family, which surprised Shen Yan's father and daughter.
It happened that the courtyard door of the Lingering Garden opened, and Xue Wanrong walked out with Xu Yan, and Shen Yan looked behind her and saw Xue Ning. She was dressed much more delicately than usual, followed by two maids, but they were all dressed to go on a long trip.
Shen Yan was a little surprised, she didn't know what Xue Ning was going to do?
What surprised her even more was that Xue Ning was followed by Qin Yu, who had not met for many days!
He looked no different from ordinary, the brocade clothes were not cumbersome, and the posture of turning over the horse was particularly neat, and when he saw Shen Yu, he smiled at her.
This Shen Ping greeted Xu Yan and Xue Wanrong and said a few polite words, Xu Yan and Qin Yu rode in the front, and Xue Wanrong, Xue Ning and the two officials rode with each other. Shen Ping had the lowest status, so he naturally followed at the end of the team.
When the group went out of the city to the outskirts, the team was not as strict as it had been at the beginning.
The prince and the scholar traveled, and there were naturally a lot of people who followed, although a few carriages were not out of order, but the people on horseback were all in chaos.
Of course, Xu Yan was still at the front, but Qin Yu slowly moved back while talking to people, and finally walked at the end of the line with Shen Yan.
Qin Yu seemed to have completely forgotten about the incident in Luoxia Peak that day, and talked about the interesting stories of the academy that he had heard recently in the breeze of the suburbs. He said this, Shen Yu was so happy to forget about the events of that day, so she walked with a smile and a smile, and asked, "Why does Miss Xue also want to go to Duqu?" ”
"I heard Lord Xue say that she was going to a relative's house in Liuzhou, and she stopped by with us, so she followed." He leaned closer to Shen Yan and laughed in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Duan and Lord Xue are here, she doesn't dare to make a fuss or anything, don't worry." ”
Shen Yan couldn't help but smile. She and Xue Ning clash with each other, and they can quarrel without saying a word when they meet, Qin Yu and Uncle Dong both know about this, but they are all children making trouble, so no one pays too much attention to it. With these adults here this time, Xue Ning didn't dare to mess around if he wanted to.
Who knew that Xue Ning was going to do what they expected, and he hadn't stopped since he stayed at the post station the night before.
Because of Xu Yan's light, the post station was very well prepared, and all the rooms reserved for everyone were good. Xu Yan, Xue Wanrong and his two officials, Shen Ping, lived in the Tianzi room facing north and south, while Qin Yu, Shen Yu and Xue Ning were arranged in the back row of rooms.
There were local officials who came to greet them, and a few adults naturally had a social experience, and it was Qin Yu who took care of Shen Yu and Xue Ning during dinner. After dinner, it was still early, so I walked in the peach forest behind the post station.
Shen Yan said that she had followed Shen Ping out no less than thirty or forty times, and there was nothing wrong at this time.
Xue Ning is a noble young lady, this road is tired, seeing Qin Yu by her side, she will be squeamish from time to time, sometimes saying that her feet hurt, and sometimes saying that she is tired, and she will scold the maid who follows her more than once.
Since Qin Yu was responsible for taking care of the two girls, he had to go over to care for a few words, Xue Ning softened his voice and spoke softly, which made Qin Yue quite embarrassed.
Shen Yu originally thought that Xue Ning would have a plan for this trip, but at this time, she knew it in her heart, and she didn't bother, and took care of the scenery by herself.
When she slipped around and went back, she heard that Xue Ning twisted her foot halfway, and she was stunned and asked Qin Yu to help her back.
At noon the next day, the group arrived at Duqu slowly, Shen Yu and Qin Yu followed them to the library to see, although Xue Ning also wanted to go, she couldn't bear the long distance, so she had to give up. At dinner, it was the local officials who made the east, and Xue Wanrong remembered Xue Ning, so he asked Qin Yu to take care of it, and Qin Yu took Shen Yu back to the inn.
This time everyone lived in the best inn in Duqu City, surrounded by restaurants and tea shops, it was still early when the two arrived, so they slowly picked up the calligraphy and painting shop of the bookstore and went around, and then chose a place to eat, called a private room to sit, and sent someone to invite Xue Ning to come over. Xue Ning said that she was unwell and asked them to bring some food.
It's nothing, Qin Yue was happy and clean, and he happily ate with Shen Yan.
After last night's incident, Qin Yu avoided Xue Ning, and at this time, he didn't take on the task of delivering food for her, so he asked Shen Yu to do it for her.
Who knew that this generation of labor would cause trouble again.
At night, Shen Yan finished washing up and was about to rest, when she suddenly heard a commotion in Xue Ning's room next door, and then someone knocked on her door and slammed the door panel.
Shen Yan guessed that Xue Ning wanted to make trouble, so she didn't bother to pay attention to it, so she folded her clothes and lay on the bed and pretended to sleep.
Who knew that the knocking on the door never stopped, and the maid even whimpered and said something. Shen Yan had a headache and frowned, and made a look at Shi Nan to take a look, it was actually the big girl Zisui beside Xue Ning.
Zi Sui looked nervous, rushed into the door and ran to the edge of Shen Fei's bed, regardless of Shen Yan falling asleep with her eyes closed, she blurted out: "I don't know if the food brought by Miss Shen is not clean, my girl said that she was uncomfortable after eating, and her stomach hurt so badly at this time!" Girl, go and see! ”
Although she didn't like this, Shen Yan couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, so she had to get up and go next door.
When they arrived at Xue Ning's door, it happened that Qin Yu was also invited, and the two glanced at each other, each surprised.
Inside, Xue Ning was lying on the couch and humming in pain, and the few little maids who accompanied her didn't dare to report to Xue Wanrong, and they all gathered around her and sweated profusely. Seeing Qin Yu and Shen Yu, it was like seeing a savior, and he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Gongzi Qin, Miss Shen, please take a look!" ”
"What's going on?" Qin Yu was very calm.
"The girl was resting well today, and after eating the food brought by Miss Shen, she said that she felt a little unwell in her abdomen, but she didn't take it to heart. Who knew that he suddenly shouted pain just now, and his face became worse and worse, like ...... I've eaten something bad. ”
"Even if you eat something bad, how can you not invite Langzhong, and my aunt and I can't diagnose the pulse." Qin Yue said coldly. Yesterday, Xue Ningwei was obsessed with her feet, and today she said that she had a bad stomach, and she pointed at Shen Yu in and out of her words, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel strange.
The maid said sneeringly: "The girl said that the night is already late, and I am afraid that it is not convenient to invite Lang Zhong." ”
"How inconvenient, since it is an abdominal discomfort, you should seek medical attention!" Shen Yu raised her voice, "Shi Nan, go out and turn left two streets past the Baohe Hall, and there is also a man on duty at night, please come over." ”
Shi Nan answered and was about to go out, but Zisui stopped there with an embarrassed face and said, "Don't go first, girl...... In case it alarms the old man, it is really inappropriate to make his old man worried. What's more, the night is dark, and it is inconvenient for the girl to go to the street alone. ”
As soon as she heard this, she knew that there was a ghost, Shen Yu was about to laugh, but Xue Ning, who was lying on the bed softly, spoke, "Bring me my Suxiang Pill ......" Her starry eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Qin Yu and Shen Yu, "I have always had a weak stomach, and I usually take care of it, this time I am afraid that it will arouse the old symptoms if the things are not clean, just take a pill." The maids made a fuss and alarmed the two, don't blame Gongzi Qin. ”
"It's better to invite a Lang Zhong to ......," Qin Yu said.
"No need." Xue Ning stood up strongly, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, "If you invite Langzhong, it will always alarm people, it's really inconvenient." It's just that the food is not clean, and you can get better after taking medicine. ”
Doesn't that still mean there's something wrong with the food you brought tonight? Shen Yu was furious in her heart.
She didn't want to suffer this dumb loss. Xue Ning is now sure that there is something wrong with the meal, but she doesn't let Lang Zhong come to diagnose the pulse, if she is vague about it, Ming'er will definitely make a fuss about this matter, and when the night passes, no one can say what Xue Ning's abdominal pain is caused by.
How could Shen Yu retreat, so she said: "I have to hurry tomorrow, I should still invite a Lang Zhong to come over to deal with it." ”
"Forget it." Xue Ning stopped, "If you ask someone to invite Langzhong, it will inevitably alarm the guys in the store, and open the door to invite people will also make a disturbance, my father and His Royal Highness King Duan have been tired for a day, and tomorrow there will be something serious, if it disturbs their purity, wouldn't it be my sin." ”
She moved out of His Royal Highness Duanwang, which made Shen Yu stunned. But if she is bluffed by this, who knows what Xue Ning will do with this tomorrow?
Qin Yu sneered when he heard this, and said lightly: "If His Royal Highness King Duan is to blame, I will bear it." Regardless of Zisui's obstruction, he pushed her away and strode out.
Xue Ning didn't expect Qin Yu to protect Shen Yu like this, she couldn't help but panic, she wanted to stop him but couldn't find a reason, she could only watch him leave, her fingers clenching the brocade quilt.
And Duanwang Xu Yan, who was moved to be a shield, was sitting in the house at this time, and his subordinate Gu An was standing next to him, "...... After Wujiang knew that Xue Wanrong wanted to kill him, he had already confessed his guilt and was temporarily locked up in the Lingering Garden. Zheng Xun's scholar also showed his feet and was investigating. ”
Xu Yan nodded, then waved his hand to signal him to step back, and when he saw Gu An standing still, he looked up in surprise.
Gu An's face was embarrassed, "Shen Ming of the Wulin Sect happened to be in Duqu, and when he heard that the prince was coming, he wanted to see the prince......"
"Shen Ming?" Xu Yan groaned slightly, "Call him over, don't alarm Shen Ping's father and daughter." ”
