257 New Year
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, in the early morning of the New Year, Wenchangbo Mansion accidentally walked on the water.
The fire destroyed the embroidery building where Liao Manru, the pearl of the Liao family, lived, which was also the queen mother's boudoir back then...... And the fire happened at such a moment, which can't help but make some people who heard the news think, thinking that the heavens have an opinion on the queen's mother?
However, no one dared to raise their voices.
Moreover, on Chinese New Year's Eve, because of the non-stop fireworks and firecrackers, there are more than a dozen places where the entire Jianning City walks the water, and dozens of people have died, and the Wenchangbo Mansion is not too surprising at all. Well, no one even noticed that among the ruins of the firewood house was a humanoid object that had been burned to black charcoal. Even, the people of Wenchangbo Mansion did not pay attention.
And by the time they had gone out to clean up the rubble early in the morning, the humanoid had long since disappeared.
The embroidery building where the queen mother lived has gone to the water, which is indeed news worth talking about. But soon, an even more shocking news came out, but it was the Mingyi Houfu who reported to Yamen, the eldest son of the Zheng family, the general of the Imperial Forest Army, disappeared after the shift on Chinese New Year's Eve!
A big living person, and a general with martial arts, will actually disappear at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital! Someone found his horse on the shore of Pearl Lake, but there were no clues to the rest!
Mingyi Houfu was furious, and directly sent a large number of people to investigate in the capital!
Jing Zhaoyin's officials have not been able to pass for many years, so they hurriedly came back and spilled their hands to find someone!
Emperor Qinglong also gave an order: You must see people in life, and you must see corpses in death!
It's a pity. After rummaging through the capital for a few days, I searched the capital, but I didn't find Zheng Yuanbin!
On this day, Zheng Stick found the old marquis and told him one thing. The old marquis was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Check!" I need more proof! ”
And Liao Manru lived in the palace under such circumstances. Her embroidery building is gone, and when she went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of the junior high school, she begged the queen mother directly in front of the public, and the queen mother had to temporarily agree. let her live in the back hall of Kunning Palace.
Mama Chun also followed Liao Manru back to the palace.
"Mama. You say, "Did the fire burn him to ashes?" Liao Manru said softly.
Mama Chun hesitated a little, but did not refute, but said in a low voice: "I don't know which slave took advantage of the chaos to pick up the dagger...... "Just with firewood and a little vegetable oil." I am afraid that I will not be able to burn people to ashes. There will always be some big bones that are hard to burn. The dagger will not be picked up quietly.
But Mama Chun was reluctant to say this at this time.
Seeing Liao Manru's expression in a trance. The pretty face could not hide the paleness. pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "The girl has now arrived in the palace, what are you afraid of?" As long as the girl can stay forever. Naturally, there is no need to be afraid. The girl can no longer marry that Chen Houyun, nor does she want to be obedient and obedient to marry those mediocre people without resistance...... Then, the old slave is still the same sentence, in this world, there is no more noble land than here. ”
"Girl, think about it again."
Liao Manru bit her pink lips and bit her pink lips with many white marks. The white mark was quickly engorged again, which made her pink lips gorgeous, obviously more seductive. She sat in front of the window and sat on the concubine for a long time, her eyes slowly became firm, and she said coldly: "Please also ask Mama to plan for me." ”
"The old slave should do his best." Mama Chun bowed deeply to the ground and bowed to worship.
……
Whether it is the news that Liao Manru Xiulou went to live in the palace and did not leave for the time being, or the news that Zheng Yuanbin disappeared and did not know his life and death, Shen Rou got it from Chen Houyun. But Chen Houyun only talked to her about these news, and then turned the topic to her future travels in March, and did not talk to her too much.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Qin Xu came to Chen's mansion to visit friends...... Well, he came to the door in the name of looking for Chen Houji, but he got rid of many people's followers and touched the outside of Banyue Xuan, and asked people to call Shen Rouning out and accompany him to take a walk in the small garden.
"I'm lost." Qin Xu touched his nose and opened his mouth to explain to Shen Rouning.
Shen Rou stared at him suspiciously for a while, beckoned Hongying to come over, and said to Hongying: "Hongying, Xu Shao is lost, you send him to Cousin Yun." "This man, obviously, is talking nonsense. He and Chen Houji have been friends for many years, and he doesn't know how many times he has been to the inner courtyard of Chen's mansion, even if Shen Rouning gets lost, he won't get lost!
Hongying walked out, staring at Qin Xu with vigilant eyes, inviting him to follow him.
Seeing this, Qin Xu showed a wry smile, shook his head, and said to Shen Rouning: "Sister A-Ning, I have something to say to you...... Can you let them step back first? ”
Shen Rouning stood outside the courtyard gate of Banyue Xuan, surrounded by several maids such as Hongyingchao Yan Bidong. She heard Qin Xu say this, thought about it, and then nodded, and gestured to a few maids.
A few maids didn't go far, and they still stood guard.
Qin Xu looked at the little girl in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in distress in his heart-
Why is that?
He told her that confession on the painting boat that day, but he was interrupted and did not get an answer, he is such a smart and free person, these days he is actually worried and uncertain, and he has not had a good life for many years! Before coming to Chen's Mansion, he originally thought that this little girl would have to be as unpredictable as him...... But he didn't expect that the little girl standing in front of him at this time was still so full of spirit, ruddy and healthy...... I'm afraid that she has been living a very happy life these days, and she hasn't thought about it at all!
How does this not discourage him from frustration? Qin Xu deeply felt that he had been hit.
He was wounded, very badly.
So, he looked at Shen Rouning's eyes, and brought out some grievances: "Ah Ning, last time I was in the painting boat...... Have you considered my words? ”
Shen Rou thought about it in surprise for a while, and then remembered, and looked at Qin Xu strangely at that time, and said, "Isn't Xu Shao joking?" Shen Rouning really didn't care. She had seen how Qin Xu pursued Lord Mingjia "very sincerely", and gave up the pursuit very decisively and rationally. So he thought that he was on the ship at the time, and it was just a casual proposal, and there was no need to delve into it...... So she didn't dig deeper.
As for marrying Qin Xu...... Shen Rouning thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not appropriate to think about this topic now-
She hadn't finished her travels yet, so she wasn't sure if she would be able to marry someone in her inner house; He still has to go to war, and it is so dangerous to fight, what if there is any accident?
So, she simply didn't think about it. (To be continued......)
