When Ah Yin returned home, it was already the second watch.

Mu Yanghou used his token to send Ah Yin back to Gongcheng, and Ah Yin quietly returned home. She didn't alarm Qin Weng, who was guarding the door, but entered through the back door. If Qin Weng is alarmed, his father and mother will know about it the next day.

When she returned to the room, she saw that Jiang Xuan had not fallen asleep, sitting at the table embroidering a handkerchief.

There was only a copper lamp lit on the table.

She threaded the needle, and soon added a red plum to the veil.

"Why hasn't my sister slept yet? Why don't you add a few more lamps to the embroidered veil? Don't tire your eyes, it's not like it used to be, and you don't have to save money on lamp oil. If she wears out her sister's eyes, her sister should feel so distressed. ”

Ah Yin sat down opposite Jiang Xuan, looked at her handkerchief, and suddenly said "Huh", and then said, "Could it be for the Chinese silk shop?" ”

Jiang Xuan nodded.

Ah Yin said softly: "How can you still embroider patterns for the Chinese silk shop?" She knew that Ah Xuan didn't like embroidery very much, after embroidering for a long time, her fingers were calloused, and she was prone to joint pain, she used to make a living, in order to subsidize the family, but now there is no shortage of silver money in the family. Ah Yin said: "If you like female celebrities, my sister will not stop you, it is not easy to do what you like in life." But now that my sister doesn't need to subsidize the family, how can my sister resume embroidery? If you want to use money, tell your sister, and no matter how much money you have, your sister will find a way to get it for you. ”

Jiang Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, tears fell down, and he said intermittently: "How can Mu Yanghou treat my sister like this?" ”

When Ah Yin heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after careful questioning, he knew that Shen Changtang had sent Chen Dou to inform Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan asked Chen Dou, and Chen Dou said that in the future, Muyang Hou would often come to Gongcheng.

“…… How can my sister be an outroom? Not even a name! ”

Ah Yin was a little distressed, judging from the current situation, she was indeed like Mu Yanghou's outer room at present. She patted Jiang Xuan gently, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then said softly: "Silly Ah Xuan, what are you crying about, you should be happy for me." Think about it, if the Hou Ye really took me to Yongping, I would stay in Yongping whether I would be a wife or a concubine, but I wouldn't be able to carve the core openly. And we don't have a family background, how difficult it should be to live in Yongping. Now that the Hou Ye has agreed to me, made concessions, and is willing to let me continue to carve the core, he will also come to see me from time to time. ”

She bent her eyebrows and smiled: "Half a year ago, wasn't what we hoped for the most was to get rid of the shackles of our homes and be able to carve cores freely?" And now that I have won the first place, there will be no shortage of silver taels in the future. Master Hou also promised me that he would not let others know about the matter between us. If one day he gets tired of me, I can get out of it. Isn't that a great thing, you say? We've been looking forward to that day for a long time, and now it's finally here. ”

"But ......," Jiang Xuan hesitated slightly.

Ah Yin asked, "But what?" ”

Jiang Xuan looked at her: "Does my sister really like Mu Yanghou?" "If you really like someone, why don't you want to stay with that person? How can you not think that it is him when you open your eyes?

Ah Yin patted the back of her hand lightly and said, "Love is a word, it's hard to say." ”

Jiang Xuan said angrily: "Sister! ”

Ah Yin smiled and said, "I really didn't hide it from you, it's really hard to say." She thought he had annoyed her, after all she had so mercilessly swept away his dignity, but he came back anyway and made concessions to her. At first, she thought that this was just a trick for him to retreat, maybe giving in at this time would make her fall into the abyss tomorrow, and what really made her believe was that when he was in the carriage, he had a strange attack, and he was obviously in so much pain, but he really kept his promise.

At that time she was thinking, maybe he was serious.

Seeing that Ah Xuan had to make a clear statement, she had no choice but to say: "It's just that I haven't reached the Cheng dù ...... that can surpass the nuclear carving."

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he was distressed again, thinking that there really could be a Lang Jun in this world who made his sister more like than a nuclear eagle? She muttered: "One day the nuclear carving will become fine, and my sister is afraid that she will abandon Master Hou......"

"Actually made fun of your sister!"

She pretended to knock her on the head, and the two sisters got into a mess. After playing around for a while, Jiang Xuan suddenly said, "Actually...... I was very reluctant for my sister to go to Yongping, and when I heard it, I felt very uncomfortable. ”

Ah Yin listened and felt a little uncomfortable.

"I can't bear my sister either."

It was also at this time that Ah Yin made a decision.

The next day, Ah Yin sent Fan Haohe to send an invitation to Yuan Hong, and made an appointment to meet in the tea shop last time. Last time, Yuan Hong covered the entire tea shop, Ah Yin didn't have such financial resources at present, so he only asked Xiao Er to prepare the best private room in the tea shop, and ordered a pot of good tea and a few fruits.

Ah Yin made an appointment at noon.

However, after noon, Yuan Hong did not arrive. Ah Yin only thought that Yuan Hong had something to delay, and he didn't care, but he was afraid that the tea would be cold, so he called Xiao Er to cook tea again. As a result, a full hour has passed, and Yuan Hong still hasn't arrived.

Ah Yin sent Fan Haohe to inquire, and after another half an hour, Fan Haohe came back, and Shangguan Shixin came back with him.

She was slightly stunned and asked, "Why did the young owner come over together?" ”

Fan Haohe gently closed the door and stood guard outside the private room.

Shangguan Shixin was a little anxious on the way to come, and he was panting slightly at this time. Seeing this, Ah Yin poured a cup of tea, touched the teacup, and said, "I almost forgot, the tea is cold." Young owner, I called the villain to recook a new pot of tea. ”

Shangguan Shixin said: "It's okay, it's all the same, I'm not particular about tea, it's good to drink it." Now it's colder and quenches your thirst more. As he spoke, he leaned his neck and drank it all. As soon as he put down the teacup, he said, "Miss Yin, Shixin came here for Yuanbo." ”

Ah Yin asked, "Come over for Yuanbo?" What must have happened? ”

"It's not a big deal, but it's not a small thing. Our Shangguan family has a big man from Yongping, and all the nuclear carvers of the Shangguan family must be present to receive them. So Yuan Bocai left Gongcheng in a hurry and rushed back to Suizhou. Yuan Bo specially told me that Miss Yin can tell me if she has any questions or concerns. Although Shixin can't accept Miss Yin as an apprentice, he can still speak in Shangguan's house. ”

Ah Yin asked curiously: "Yongping is a big man, why don't you rush back?" ”

Shangguan Shixin said: "Our surname is Shangguan, although we cultivate nuclear carving talents for the imperial court, but we never participate in the affairs of the imperial court. The one who came over and summoned was always only the nuclear carver of our Shangguan family. After a pause, he added: "If you can enter nuclear science in the future, maybe you will have the opportunity to meet that big man." ”

Ah was not modest this time, and said with a smile: "Cheng Shao's auspicious words." ”

She got to the point and said, "I came today to ask about the young owner's family. I have a deep relationship with my sister, if I go to Suizhou, will I worry about her......"

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Shixin said: "This is really the case. ”

Ah Yin was slightly stunned and asked: "What is the meaning of the word "Shaodongjia?" ”

Shangguan Shixin said with a smile: "That day Uncle said that he wanted to take you as an apprentice, but you had concerns. Yuanbo asked Shixin, do you know your concerns? I'm guessing it's related to your sister right now. Although I have only seen your sister several times, it can be seen that you have a deep sisterhood. Miss Yin doesn't have to worry about this. If you wish, you can take your sister with you. ”

Ah Yin was overjoyed in his heart, and only said: "The young owner is really Ah Yin's bosom friend, and he even took into account what I thought." She said happily again: "The young owner doesn't have to be polite, just call me Ah Yin." ”

Shangguan Shixin was also not polite, and directly called her "Ah Yin".

Ah Yin answered.

Shangguan Shixin also said: "You don't have to be polite in the future, don't call me a young owner, it's rare to meet a bosom friend in life, I am a cousin." As he spoke, he looked at Ah Yin carefully, and was slightly relieved to see that she didn't feel abrupt.

Ah Yin never thought that calling the table word was too close to this layer, but he only felt that he inherited the name of the bosom friend, and it was reasonable to call the table word.

She happily called "Ziye".

The smile in Shangguan Shixin's eyes was even worse.

Next, the two agreed on the time to go to Suizhou, and Ah Yin still had some things to deal with in Gongcheng, so it was set for half a month later. When Shangguan Shixin heard this, he felt a little pity, and said, "If it is ten days earlier, you will be able to return to Suizhou with me." But it doesn't matter, you deal with your business first, and in half a month, Shixin will prepare a reception banquet for you, just so that you can meet other nuclear carvers and meet other nuclear carvers. ”

When Ah Yin heard this, he was extremely yearning in his heart, and hurriedly said "thank you".

Wolgang Wharf.

The boat gradually left the dock, and the second master saw off Mu Yanghou on the shore. After the ship was far away, the second master wiped a cold sweat and thought that he had finally sent this noble man away. The little guy on the side asked curiously: "Second master, it's strange, why didn't you see that eunuch?" Didn't the eunuch say a few days ago that he would greet Mu Yanghou in person? ”

As soon as the words fell, his head was slapped hard.

"You don't want to die, the person who can come and go freely in the Shen family building boat will definitely die a nobleman. Those two words are not something that can be said casually. ”

"That'...... Is that father-in-law from the Shen family? ”

"What a fool! Except for the heavenly family, which family dares to raise eunuchs? Be smart! ”

"Yes...... But ......"

"No, but! Can't say it again! Beware of the misfortune that comes out of the mouth! ”

……

At the same time, Shen Changtang on the building ship was standing on the deck facing the wind.

He looked at the sunset in the distance, as if in thought. It wasn't until the sunset completely dissipated that he asked, "Have you found Deng Zhong's whereabouts?" ”

Yan Shen said: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, your subordinates have sent someone to investigate. ”

Shen Changtang said: "Before the child. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Yan Shen had a lot of questions in his heart, before Gonggong Deng was in a hurry to pick up Hou Ye back to Yongping, obviously because he was ordered by the one in the palace, and then he came to Gongcheng, Hou Ye sent two groups of people to delay, and he was the last to pass. At that time, he thought of countless ways to allow the Hou Ye to stay in the carriage for a while, but he didn't expect that as soon as he rushed over, the second group of people said that Gonggong Deng had left, and he didn't go to Gongcheng's road, but took another mountain road.

Yan Shen went to check, the mountain road leads to two places, one is Qizhou, the other is Suizhou, and if you go further, you can go back to Yongping by land.

But now Gonggong Deng's people are gone.

At this moment, Yan Mo came over, saluted Mu Yanghou, and said: "Master Qiqi, after receiving the flying pigeon from Suizhou, Gonggong Deng went to Shangguan's house in Suizhou. ”

Suizhou Shangguan's family.

Yan Shen was slightly surprised.

It was not surprising that Deng Zhong went to Shangguan's house, but this time he obviously came to greet Hou Ye first. Why did you run to Shangguan's house at a corner? Could it be that the one in the palace has a new will?

Yan Shen speculated: "Master Hou, isn't there something wrong with the new nuclear carver in the palace?" ”

Shen Changtang asked, "Have all the assassins been cleaned up that day?" ”

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, there is no one left." After a deep pause, he added: "The assassins who saw Miss Yin were all killed. ”

Shen Changtang stared, as if he remembered something, and said, "The farmer has also dealt with it?" ”

"The subordinates took 100 gold and placed all the two farmers who had seen Hou Ye and Miss Yin that day and their families in Shuzhou, thousands of miles away."

"Well, well done."

Yan Shen asked: "Then ...... Gonggong Deng?"

Shen Changtang said coldly: "Don't bother with it, go back to Yongping and settle the old accounts with the queen for half a year." ”.

Suizhou.

A loud bang came from inside the house.

"How can this be true? How could the old man have been so angry in his life! Why is he a eunuch pointing fingers! The old man takes the apprentice and cares about his! Yuan Hong crossed a pair of pale eyebrows, and his voice was so loud that he almost lifted the roof!

Yuanbei looked at the palm prints on the square table, and said in a good voice: "Father is angry, and his body is important." ”

Yuanbei is Yuan Hong's old man, and he also has a talent for carving cores, and now he is one of the alternate nuclear carving technicians. He said: "Deng Gong has spoken openly, it's not good not to give him this face......

"the fart!" Yuan Hong said angrily: "The imperial court doesn't care about the affairs of our Shangguan family, and our Shangguan family does not participate in the affairs of the imperial court. What is he a eunuch □□? Was he an emperor or a eunuch? ”

"Father, be quiet, the wall has ears......"

"If you have eyes, the old man is not afraid! It is rare for the old man to fall in love with an apprentice for so many years, who dares to point fingers, the old man stuffs his mouth with peach pits! Smash his hands! ”

Yuanbei said again: "Father, in my opinion, the qualifications of the girl brought by Father-in-law Deng are also good......

"Nice? Over the years, there have been more qualified nuclear carving technicians, and your father has seen more nuclear carvings than you have ever seen! The old man wants the best apprentice, and he can't get into the eyes of the old man if he has good qualifications! Let Deng Zhong take the Lu clan back to his Yongping! ”

Yuanbei sighed: "Everyone is here, there is no reason for people to leave, and Gonggong Deng is still a celebrity around the saint." ”

"Over the years, there have been not a hundred or fifty nuclear carvers trained by our Shangguan family, and we are all red!" Yuan Hong slapped the table and said: "I knew that I would have cut it first and then played, who revealed the news?" Say! ”

Yuanbei swallowed his saliva and said, "It's your father, ......"

Half a month ago, not long after the start of the Dou Nuclear Conference, his father fell in love with the girl surnamed Yin, for fear that others would rob him of the apprentice, so he asked people to go back to Shangguan's house early to publicize that he was going to accept the apprentice, which was the Yin family of Gongcheng.

Now that the apprentice has not been confiscated, and it has not been recorded in the books of the Shangguan family, Yongping's father-in-law Deng came, and killed a Lu family halfway.

This is a dilemma.

You must know that his father is an extremely picky person, he was picky when he was a child, and it is precisely because of his father's high requirements that he has not accepted apprentices so far. And the Shangguan family has a death rule, and only one apprentice can be accepted, so he finally worshiped under Ma Laomen.

Ma Lao specially instructed him to persuade his father well, so as not to hurt the harmony with the court.

But my father has this temper, and it's hard to persuade him.

“…… Really? ”

Deng Zhong said casually.

Lu Lan obediently pinched Deng Zhong's shoulder, nodded and said, "I heard that Yuan Gong is unwilling to accept me as an apprentice, if it really makes my godfather embarrassed, Lan'er will return to Yongping." Lan'er came to Suizhou this time, just to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, it's not a big deal. ”

Lu Lan is Deng Zhong's goddaughter.

Deng Zhong had a woman who ate outside the palace, and in the early years, Deng Zhong liked the woman's skill, and brought her back to the mansion to be a pillow person who knew cold and hot. Later, I learned that she had a daughter, so I didn't care about it, and brought it back to the house.

He said: "The Sprinkle family has opened its mouth, and it will not be unsuccessful, but it is a trivial matter, you can rest assured, you can't run." ”

"Godfather treats Lan'er so well! Lan'er will work hard to learn art in Suizhou in the future, and live up to her godfather's expectations for Lan'er. When Lan'er is promoted to a nuclear carver one day, she will not forget the kindness of her godfather! ”

"If you can have this filial piety, your mother will teach you well."

Lu Lan said with a smile: "There is also the credit of the godfather." ”

"This little mouth is so sweet."

Seeing a figure outside, Lu Lan said again: "Lan'er knows that godfather likes to eat Yongping's donkey rolling, so she made a dish in the stove room this morning, and Lan'er will bring it to godfather now." ”

"Go ahead."

Lu Lan answered and went out.

After a while, the figure outside came in, knelt down and reported: "Father-in-law, the people have been extinguished." ”

"Oh? Didn't let Shen Changtang find out? ”

"Back to my father-in-law, that person is a distant relative of farmer Ah Feng, who happened to come over to steal a hoe that day, and happened to see Mu Yanghou and Yin. Mu Yanghou has already settled the couple, and the place has not yet been found. ”

"There's no need to check, the result of the Sprinkle family is already there." He slowly pulled his lips and smiled: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, Shen Changtang wants to protect the girl of a small family, and the saint may not allow it." ”.

For seven days in a row, Ah Yin was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

She is about to go to Suizhou, and the affairs of Gongcheng must be dealt with first. I used to think about leaving, but now it's different. If she wants to apprentice in Suizhou and enter the mysterious nuclear science, she must first settle her family and have no worries.

And this time I went to Suizhou, I don't know how long I will stay, the nuclear house has to be cleaned up, and the nuclear sculpture inside must also be taken to Suizhou.

Ah Yin instructed Dong Yun to go to the nuclear house to clean every half month, and carefully instructed the details of cleaning, what can be touched and what must not be touched, are all particular. The original intention of the nuclear house left by my grandfather was to keep the peach pit. Peach pits are the most taboo for humidity and sun, and special attention should be paid to the rainy season.

Fan Haohe also found a nice house, a three-entry courtyard, and a small lotus pond. Ah Yin has seen it and is quite satisfied. It was decided immediately, and after going to the government to register, the deed was also packed into the fine soft that was taken to Suizhou.

Ah Yin had already told his family a few days ago that he was going to go to Shangguan's house in Suizhou, Yin Xiuwen had been oppressed for a while, and at this moment he wished that his daughter was not there, so that he could restore his prestige as the head of the family.

Ah Yin knows his father's temperament, and it is not good for the family to kill them all, it would be best if someone could treat his father and let him not make trouble.

Ah Yin quietly left fifty taels of silver and handed it over to the Qin family.

Before leaving, Ah Yin had already made plans not to return to this home.

I used to hate my father's ruthlessness, and I was also dissatisfied with my mother's favoritism, but now that I am leaving this home where I have lived for twenty years, Ah Yin suddenly feels that everything in the past is a cloud of the past.

She went to Suizhou, and she may not know where she will go in the future, maybe Jizhou, maybe Yongping, but she will never come back to Gongcheng.

In front of her eyes was a new world, a sky for her to fly.

And then there's the most important thing.

Ah Yin was thinking about how to talk to Shen Changtang, saying that she was going to Shangguan's house in Suizhou. Shen Changtang is not here, so he doesn't need to say it in person, it is naturally excellent. It's just that he sent Chen Dou to protect her, so he should write a letter to tell him.

It's just how to open his mouth so that he doesn't object......

Even if she knew that Shen Changtang would object, she still had to go. But if he doesn't object, that's the best. Ah Yin thought about it for a few days, and Jiang Xuan saw that she was so troubled, so she said: "Master Hou asked Chen Jialangjun to protect his sister secretly, and Chen Jialangjun must know her sister's every move." My sister has been making a lot of moves these days, maybe Chen Jialangjun has already reported to Hou Ye. ”

Ah Yin said: "Not necessarily, not many people know about this matter. I have told my father and mother to keep their mouths shut, and it is not appropriate to publicize it until it is done. And even if Chen Dou knew, the meaning of writing a letter with me was different. ”

Jiang Xuan snickered: "Sister just wants to write a letter to Master Hou, right?" ”

Ah Yin glanced at her with disgust: "What nonsense." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense. My sister continues to clean up, sister, you can write with peace of mind. ”

A Yin wrote a letter informing Shen Changtang that she was going to Suizhou, and if he wanted to be treated, he hoped to tell her in advance. Ah Yin thought about it, it seemed that she was willing to take the initiative to serve the sick, he was very happy, maybe he would let her go happily.

After Ah Yin finished writing, he looked at it carefully, felt that the handwriting was not neat, wrote it again, put it in the envelope, and went to find Chen Dou.

Unexpectedly, no one answered after shouting several times, and asked the tiger's eye and tiger boxing, and the two also said that they had not seen any trace of Chen Dou.

Ah Yin thought that Chen Dou had something, so he didn't care.

But until the day she left for Suizhou, Chen Dou still did not show up.
