Chapter 285: Distress
After complaining, Meng's mood didn't improve much, she wanted to go and talk to An Shiyan, Xue persuaded her: "Madame, don't bother the fifth master, the fifth master loves the sixth lady, and you can't find it happy if you go." ”
"Ke Lan'er is our daughter, if I don't discuss with the fifth master, who else can I consult?" Meng Shi was crying.
Xue Shi was angry when he saw her pear blossom with rain, but he had to endure it and patiently persuaded: "But even if you discuss it with the fifth master, the fifth master has no choice, the concubine heard that Zhong Siye's power in Shengjing is not small, if the fifth master has a conflict with Zhong Siye because of the sixth miss, I am afraid it will affect the fifth master's career." ”
Meng Shi was frightened by these words, and said in a panic: "It must not affect the career of the fifth master!" But what should I do? Could it be that Fourth Master Zhong was just allowed to spoil Lan'er? ”
"It's not that there is no way......" Xue pretended to hesitate and looked at her in embarrassment.
Meng Shi hurriedly said: "It doesn't hurt if you have something to say!" ”
Xue Shi nodded, and hesitated: "The concubine thinks that King Jin may have a way, after all, King Jin is a relative of the emperor, and he will definitely be able to suppress Fourth Master Zhong, so that Fourth Master Zhong will no longer spoil Sixth Miss excessively." It's just that King Jin is there......"
Before she could finish speaking, Meng Shi exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, there is also Brother Xu!" I'm going to write a letter to Brother Xu and ask him to help me! ”
"But the last time King Jin replied, he asked Madame not to write again." Xue pretended to be worried and persuaded.
However, Meng Shi did not listen to her persuasion at all, and immediately ordered someone to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and seeing this, mockery flashed in Xue's eyes.
An Ruolan didn't know about Meng's actions, and after receiving Zhong Siye, she sent Zhong Siye back to Qianxunju.
Master Zhong has resigned and returned to his hometown, and now there are only two brothers in Zhongfu, Uncle Zhong and Second Master Zhong, and Fourth Master Zhong lives in Qianxunju every time he returns to Kyoto.
In just over a month, Zhong Siye went back and forth with Shengjing twice in Haicheng, even if he was in good health, he couldn't stand it, not to mention that he was already in poor health, so tired and running, he quickly lost a lot of weight.
An Ruolan knew that he couldn't rest assured of himself, so he would work tirelessly to run between the two places, and he was both moved and guilty in his heart.
She mentioned it more than once, promising to take care of herself and let Zhong Siye do things in Haicheng with peace of mind, Zhong Siye promised to do well every time, but as soon as she turned around, Zhong Siye would still come back to visit her every once in a while.
couldn't persuade him, so An Ruolan stopped persuading.
She felt sorry for Zhong Siye's hard work, every time he came back, she would personally cook a lot of medicinal food for him and replenish his body, for him, she not only learned to cook, but also began to study medical science, just to wait for Uncle Xiang to come back, to hand over a healthy father-in-law.
This time, An Ruolan still cooked in person, and she was busy in the kitchen with her sleeves rolled up, cooking for Zhong Siye, and the scene stunned the people in the kitchen of Qianxun.
Zhong Siye is spicy, almost no spicy or happy, An Ruolan knew that he didn't have much appetite when he was tired, so he deliberately made a few sour and spicy dishes, so that even if the medicinal diet was light, Zhong Siye could eat a few bowls of rice.
Full of wine and food, Zhong Siye leaned on the kang to drink tea, and boasted: "Our Baomei is becoming more and more virtuous, and I don't know which kid will be blessed in the future, I am more and more reluctant to marry Baomei." ”
An Ruolan had long been accustomed to his unobtrusive mouth, and said lightly when she heard the words: "Even if you are reluctant, I will not keep being an old girl." "She's been fancy to her husband for a long time!
Mr. Yi, who was also nesting on the kang, said: "Sister Bao's words are good, when she grows up, she naturally wants to marry a wife and be a wife, no matter what, it is better than being someone's cook." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Siye raised the corners of his eyes and snorted, "Baomei is also what you can call?" It's magnanimous enough to let you come to eat, so don't stir up our father-daughter relationship here! ”
In the end, it was "under the fence", Mr. Yi couldn't help but feel weak, and retorted with a cough: "Where is this provoking, I am clearly verifying that you and Sister Bao have a deep relationship with their father and daughter, and they are not affected by gossip from the outside world." ”
"You also know that you have a broken mouth and gossip." Zhong Siye sneered.
The corners of Mr. Yi's mouth twitched, and he slapped the table and said angrily: "If you give you a few colors, you will open a dyeing workshop, don't you have to inch in?" Who's going to have a broken mouth?! ”
"Say you say you, you say you!" Zhong Siye raised his tail finger.
"I can't live this day!" Mr. Yi threw the teacup and pounced on it directly.
An Ruolan calmly watched the two big men fight and drink tea comfortably.
After a few days of driving, Zhong Siye was tired after a while, and when he rested, An Ruolan saw that the hour was not early, and said goodbye to Mr. Yi.
"Don't wait for him to wake up and say something?" Drop her off at the inn by the lake, Mr. Yi asked.
"No need." An Ruolan smiled and shook her head, "It depends on how long my father-in-law stays this time, if there is still a chance, I will come to see you again." ”
"It's fine." Mr. Yi did not keep her any longer, and after sending her into the carriage, he watched the carriage go away.
I took a boat back to the island in the middle of the lake, and as soon as I got on the dock, someone came to report: "Sir, the fourth master is awake and calls you over." ”
Mr. Yi was surprised and nodded in response.
"It's not that you're tired, why don't you take a break?" As soon as he stepped into the door, Mr. Yi asked, Zhong Siye smiled helplessly, rubbed his face and said, "I'm so tired that I can't sleep." ”
Seeing the bloodshot in his eyes, Mr. Yi paused and asked, "But what happened?" ”
Zhong Siye was stunned, shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about these things first, I will leave for Haicheng in two days, this time I don't think I will come back so soon, you can help me watch more Baomei." ”
Mr. Yi saw his strange appearance, and his eyebrows furrowed: "In the past, I had to rest for five or six days, why is it so urgent this time?" Is there something going on on Hengji Island? ”
I have to say that Mr. Yi is wise and can guess it.
Zhong Siye frowned, no longer hidden, and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, Xiang Ye sent two guards to infiltrate Hengji Island to inquire about the news and inquire about intelligence, but until now, the two people sent out have not returned. ”
Mr. Yi keenly grasped the key words in his words and said, "Are you talking about the protector...... I remember that Wei Xing was the left protector of the emperor's own title. ”
"I don't know." Zhong Siye shook his head, "You can't exchange letters in the army at will, and it is inconvenient for Xiang Ye to reveal things in the army to me." ”
Hearing this, Mr. Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "In other words, you just guessed that there were guards in those two guards, and there was no definite evidence." ”
immediately relieved: "Don't think too much, I don't think the Wei family kid is like a blessed." ”
"It's not that I'm thinking too much, but it's ......" Zhong Siye wanted to speak and stopped, he really had no evidence to prove that one of the two guards was a guard, but he knew that the guard's punishment was among them, and the guard's punishment was auspicious and almost killed.
Fate went round and round, even though the trajectory had changed, but it still turned to the same point, and Wei Xing still participated in the war on Hengji Island.
"The night was thick, two arrows and one knife in his body, the scarred guard was hidden under the water, the salty and cold sea water stimulated the wounds on his body, he felt pain, he knew that he was about to reach the limit, maybe in another quarter of an hour, he would return to Huangquan, and he was still waiting for rescue."
As soon as he thought of this description, Zhong Siye couldn't stop his heart from pounding.
When he was in the bureau, he knew his feelings, and he knew that he would enter this bureau and get involved with these people, so why should he ......
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Fourth Master Zhong could only sigh weakly.
Seeing that his face was still solemn and deep, in order to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Yi pretended to joke: "Don't you hate the Wei family kid very much, why are you so worried about him now?" ”
"Just because you hate it doesn't mean you want to see him die." Zhong Siye sighed, "Even if I want to change, I can't change his relationship with Baomei." ”
"In the end, it's for Baomei." Mr. Yi sighed, sometimes he really didn't understand why Fourth Master Zhong had to pay so much for An Ruolan.
"When you accepted Baomei as a righteous daughter, I was surprised, why is it Baomei?" He asked the doubts in his mind.
"Maybe it's because she's changed?" Zhong Siye smiled uncertainly, "Not everyone has a chance to do it all over again, when He Yun mentioned her to me, I was both surprised and guilty, and I felt that I should help her and make her life worry-free." ”
"Guilty?" Mr. Yi frowned in confusion, whether he understood or not.
Rubbing his eyebrows, he raised his hand to stop Zhong Siye, who seemed to be caught in his memory, and said, "Wait, let me think about it, why do you feel guilty about Baomei?" You didn't cross paths until she recognized you as your father-in-law, did you? ”
A bold guess popped up in his heart, and he twitched the corners of his mouth irrepressibly, "Could it be that Sister Bao is the ...... between you and Mrs. An?"
"Please make up your brains." Fourth Master Zhong squinted his eyes with disdain.
"Ahem." Mr. Yi coughed embarrassedly, although he didn't understand what a brain hole was, but looking at Zhong Siye's expression, he knew that he was despising him, and defended him stiffly: "I'm just thinking about it, how can I say that people were also famous talented women in Shengjing back then, your reaction is too hurtful." ”
"Thank you, I can't afford that kind of woman." Zhong Siye rolled his eyes.
"You can't afford any kind of woman, because you're a broken sleeve." Mr. Yi pointed out sharply.
"......" Zhong Siye, who was tired and didn't love it, felt that he couldn't continue to talk happily anymore, pointed to the door and said, "You can go, it's okay to go." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mr. Yi was thrown out by Kong Wu's powerful maid.
"If you want to drive people out, tell me the answer first, otherwise I won't be comfortable this day!" Mr. Yi jumped outside the door and shouted, "Children with obsessive-compulsive disorder can't afford to be hurt."
At this time, An Ruolan was on the way back to the Hou Mansion, sneezing non-stop.
"Is Miss infected with a cold?" The vulture asked worriedly.
"Probably not." An Ruolan shook her head, she didn't feel any discomfort, just her nose was itchy, and she thought that someone should be talking about her behind her back.
"Ha Qiu Ha Qiu—" thought to himself, followed by a few more sneezes.
"Miss must have a cold, go back to the house and make some ginger soup for you to drink." The green vulture was worried.
An Ruolan folded the handkerchief covering her mouth, nodded and said, "Then boil more, it's cold, everyone drink some." ”
The vultures shook their heads one after another. R1152
