(It's Friday again.,Yesterday was the Chinese Valentine's Day.,Have you gone out to wave~~~ Send two more.,It's a blessing to make up for the Chinese Valentine's Day (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭?~~~)
Shishi listened to Lu Wanwan's words, and the roots of her ears turned red, but she still said stiffly: "Who knows if he is lying to you with clever words, after all, how many men really don't mind that their wives used to serve people in Israel." ”
"Is it sincere, Qin Jiaoxi and I can't see the two pairs of eyes, if he is really pretending, it can only mean that he is too good at acting, bothering to disguise like this, there must be some purpose, and he will definitely show his feet in the future, if he is sincere, Sister Shishi, you won't earn it, although there are very few men of the kind you said, but it's not nothing, you see Sister Si didn't meet it, Sang Yang didn't know how sincere she was."
"That's Qingqing's life, but not everyone can be like her." Shishi sighed in a low voice.
"Sister Shishi, how do you know if you don't try, if Sister Si was the same as you at the beginning, looking forward and looking backwards, I'm afraid there will be no happy days now." Lu Wanwan continued to persuade.
"Yes, Shishi, you just give that Liu Shi'an a chance, maybe he is your lover." Qin Qin also helped to persuade.
Shishi glanced up at the two of them, but said with a smile: "I don't know that I still think that you two are lobbyists invited by him Liu Shi'an, why do you help him speak." ”
"Where are we helping him, obviously we are helping you, you know, we all want you to be happy." Lu Wanwan said softly.
Shishi glanced at Lu Wanwan again, and suddenly said: "What about you, you are not young, have you ever thought about it...... Find a good man to marry, you are different from me, although you have been in the workshop, you have not been a prostitute, and that was a long time ago, as long as you don't say it, no one will know. ”
"What about you, how can it be said to me, I'm still young, I'll get rid of you first." Lu Wanwan said speechlessly.
"I see what Shishi said is right, whether it is you or her, this lifelong event cannot be delayed, and I will help you find a candidate when I go back." Qin Qin also looked at Lu Wanwan with a smile and said very seriously.
Lu Wanwan suddenly had a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Is this considered a fire at the city gate, which affected the pond fish." ”
Shishi and Qin Qin laughed for a while when they heard this, and then Shishi finally relented and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and give that Liu Shi'an a chance, but whether he can impress me or not depends on what he does." ”
"That's natural, if he is hypocritical, I will be the first to not let him go." Lu Wanwan stretched out his fist and said viciously.
Lu Wanwan and Qin Qin persuaded Shishi, seeing that it was not early outside, they were ready to leave, Shishi was very reluctant, personally sent them to the entrance of the village, and talked for a while before reluctantly watching them go down the mountain.
It was much easier to go down the mountain than to go up, and it didn't take long for Lu Wan and the two of them to reach the foot of the mountain, and after getting into the carriage, they drove towards the city gate, trying to enter the city before dark.
An hour later, the carriage finally came to the city gate, but found that there were many more soldiers at the city gate for some reason, and they carefully examined the people who entered the city one by one.
Lu Wanwan poked her head out of the carriage, looked at the long line in front of her, and then returned to the car and said to Qin Qin: "Teach Xi, I'll get out of the car and ask what happened." ”
Qin Qin nodded, with a touch of worry on his face, "Do you say it will have anything to do with the rebels, otherwise the imperial court would not have sent so many soldiers over." ”
Lu Wanwan also guessed like this in her heart, but she comforted Qin Qin and said: "Don't worry, teach you, it's okay, even if the rebel army still has the imperial court, it won't implicate us." With that, she jumped out of the carriage.
Lu Wanwan found an old man at the front of the line, smiled and asked him, "This uncle, do you know what's going on?" Why are there so many officers and soldiers? ”
The uncle looked like a farmer, and he was carrying a hemp bag in his hand, he glanced at Lu Wanwan, and then lowered his voice and said: "Little brother, you are asking the right person, when I arrived at the gate of the city, a particularly gorgeous carriage happened to pass me, just looking at the guards next to the carriage, I knew that the carriage must not be an ordinary person, and not long after the carriage entered the city, many officers and soldiers came here, saying that they wanted to investigate the rebel spies, I see, eighty percent of the news brought by the people in the carriage, otherwise how could it be so coincidental." As soon as the carriage entered the city, the court began to investigate the spies. ”
Lu Wanwan nodded silently when she heard this, thanked the old man, and then returned to the carriage.
"How? Did you ask anything? As soon as Lu Wanwan got into the car, Qin Qin immediately asked nervously.
Lu Wanwan smiled at Qin Qin and said with a reassuring smile: "It's okay, it's just that because the rebels crossed the boundary river, the imperial court began to pay attention to it, so it increased the garrison at the city gate, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
After hearing this, Qin Qin didn't look relieved, and still said very worriedly: "It seems that those rebels are really unusual, otherwise the imperial court would not attach such importance to it." ”
"Yes......" Lu Wanwan replied a little absentmindedly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he thought.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lu Wanwan and their carriage finally entered the city, Lu Wanwan asked the coachman to send Qin Qin back to the church first, and he got out of the carriage under the pretext of going to the West Market to buy some things.
After Lu Wan got off the carriage in the evening, she turned to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and when she arrived near the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the sky had already darkened, she did not approach immediately, but hid in the dark to watch, and found that there were many more Praetorian Guards around the Wu An Hou Mansion.
Lu Wanwan took advantage of the night to cautiously come to the back door, stunned several Praetorian guards guarding the back door with the characteristic incense, and then entered the mansion unnoticed.
Fortunately, there were no Praetorian Guards in the house, Lu Wanwan walked cautiously all the way, avoided the maid servants, and finally arrived in Jian Yu's courtyard.
Lu Wanwan hid under the window of Jian Yu's bedroom, holding his breath, and could vaguely hear the voices inside.
"Brother Jane, what do you think?" Li Yufen sat on the edge of Jian Yu's bed, grabbed his hand tightly, and asked with red eyes.
Jian Yu's face was pale, obviously he had lost too much blood, he obviously didn't want to talk much, he only shook his head slowly.
Li Yufen looked at Jian Yu's weak appearance, tears couldn't help but flow out again, and she said very reproachfully: "It's all my fault, if I insisted on not letting you go at that time, you wouldn't be like this now......
"Fen'er, how can this be your fault, Yu'er should have contributed to the country, the emperor sent him to exterminate the rebels, he believed him, how did you know that he was so uncompetitive." Ruan Shi sat opposite Li Yufen, and said softly to comfort her, although she said that Jian Yu was not angry, but looking at him was also very distressed, but in front of Li Yufen, it was not good to show it too much.
"No, it's not! No! Father obviously knew that these rebels were different from the previous ones, and they were not something that ordinary people could deal with, but he still had to send Brother Jian, if I had insisted on it at the beginning, Brother Jian would not have to suffer like this! Li Yufen cried more and more sadly, and the whole person sobbed. Jian Yu, who didn't notice lying on the bed, listened to her words and frowned invisibly.
Ruan Shi didn't say anything, only sighed softly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on Li Yufen's face, and then said: "It's not early today, you go back to the palace first, I'm afraid the emperor's anger has not subsided, you don't want to make him angry again, you run out with a good opinion, the emperor lost his temper at that time." ”
Li Yufen finally stopped her tears, and then said to Ruan Shi with a firm expression: "Aunt, don't worry, I will persuade my father well, this time it is not Brother Jian's fault, he has done his best, I will not let my father condemn him again." ”
Hearing this, Ruan Shi held Li Yufen's hand and said gratefully: "Good boy, Yu'er has picked up a life thanks to you this time, and my aunt doesn't know how to thank you, the emperor really wants to condemn the crime, and that is also right, you must not conflict with the emperor again for him!" ”
Li Yufen didn't make a sound, obviously didn't listen to Ruan's words, Ruan had to sigh lightly, and pulled Li Yufen to get up, "You remember my words, go back and rest early." ”
"Auntie, I'll come to see Brother Jian tomorrow." After Li Yufen finished saying this, she walked out of the room with Ruan.
Ruan Shi stood outside the door, watching Li Yufen gradually walk away, and the expression on his face gradually became cold. She turned around and went back to the house, looking at Jian Yu lying on the bed, and the heartache in her eyes grew.
Jian Yu slowly turned his head, looked at Ruan Shi and said, "Mother, I'm fine, don't be sad!" ”
Ruan's eyes were red, but the expression on his face was cold: "Yu'er, you just heard it, the emperor obviously knows that the rebel army is not simple, but he still wants to send you to death, he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of the last lone seedling in our Wu'an Hou Mansion and take back the military power!" ”
Jian Yu just didn't speak when he heard this, and he thought of this a long time ago.
"Yu'er, do you remember how your father died?" Ruan's face was full of chills, and he asked almost through gritted teeth.
Jian Yu's face was gloomy, and he nodded slowly, "When I went to the border, I also investigated the cause of my father's death......
"Your father must have been killed, he was a guard, how could he run to the front line, or was shot by a stray arrow, I don't believe it, and when the body was sent back, I couldn't see the original appearance clearly, if you hadn't invited yourself to go with the army, the emperor would have relieved us of the military power of the Hou Mansion, and the emperor ...... It can't accommodate us! Nguyen said almost in tears.
Jian Yu frowned, but he didn't know what to say to persuade the Ruan family, because he knew in his heart that Li Yan did have a lot of scruples about their family, his father had always led soldiers to guard the border gates, and even now, most of the generals on the border were his father's subordinates, and it was not unreasonable for Li Yan to be jealous of him.
"Yu'er, my mother has thought about it, we can't sit still like this, since the emperor is unkind to us, then don't blame us for being unjust." Ruan Shi's beautiful face was cold, and he said coldly.
Jian Yu looked at Ruan Shi suspiciously, not knowing what she meant by this.
"You should know that the means of ascending the throne of the Holy Lord today are not very glorious, right?" Ruan Shi suddenly changed his words and asked.
Jian Yu nodded stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "It is rumored that the emperor killed the crown prince at that time and was able to ascend the throne. ”
"This rumor is true." Ruan Shi said with a very serious expression, and then she seemed to fall into a memory, "When the prince was killed, I was living in my mother's house with you, and overheard your grandfather talking to a minister of the DPRK and China, the minister happened to be the prince's party, and he came to ask your grandfather for help, but your grandfather didn't want to get into the party dispute, so he refused the minister, and then it didn't take long for the minister to die, and your grandfather was afraid of being implicated, so he resigned from the government and returned to his hometown with his family, and I listened to the minister with my own ears, It was Li Yan who sent someone to kill the prince, but what he did was too secretive, and the minister was just guessing, and there was no real evidence, otherwise he would not have come to your grandfather, and directly handed the evidence to the emperor. ”
Ruan Shi paused, seemed to think of something, and said with a sneering expression: "Li Yan is ruthless, after he killed the prince, he would not let go of his children, but then he should not have succeeded, because those two children are missing, although their whereabouts are unknown, they should still be alive." "Nguyen didn't know too many secrets, and he was just guessing.
Jian Yu didn't understand why her mother said these things, and suddenly she asked, "Yu'er, you tell your mother the truth, how did you escape back?" ”
Jian Yu hesitated, but still didn't intend to hide the Ruan family, and said truthfully: "I didn't escape by myself, it was the rebel leader who took the initiative to let me go." ”
When Ruan Shi heard this, he was also a little surprised, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then have you ever seen the appearance of the rebel leader?" ”
Jian Yu intently recalled, his impression of the leader had always been wearing a mask, but in his memory, he seemed to have seen it again in a daze, and that time Wanwan was also by his side.
"I think I've seen it once, but I can't see it very clearly, the person has been wearing a mask." Jian Yu replied.
"The leader of the rebel army is not simple, he put you back alone just to make the emperor suspect you, fortunately, you are smart enough, pretending to escape, and met Li Yufen who came to look for you, which finally gave the emperor one less chance to attack you." Nguyen said with emotion.
Jian Yu was silent, he knew that this qiē was all the credit of Wanwan, if it weren't for her, he would have returned to Beijing stupidly intact, and he didn't know how to be suspected by the emperor and those ministers in the court. (To be continued.) )
