I don't know if Shu Manyao and the others walked fast, or those people didn't dare to make any big noises here, or if those people didn't suspect Shu Manyao and his party at all, in short, looking at the flawed actions, Shu Manyao actually brought Yang Jianbai back to the hall safely.

The old lady was talking to another person, Shu Manyao entered the hall alone to see the old lady, and took the time to hold the old lady's arm and coquettishly: "Grandmother, it's not too early, shouldn't we go back earlier?" ”

The old lady patted her hand and smiled at the other person, "Let you see and laugh, this child is all spoiled by me." ”

"It's okay, I didn't notice it for a while, it turned out to be this time, it's really a little too late." The woman said with a smile, got up and saluted the old lady: "It's not too early, then I won't bother the old lady and the eldest girl, this is goodbye, next time if the old lady is free, I will ask the old lady to use our house to enjoy the flowers, our girl, there is no other ability, this kind of flowers and grass, the most handful." ”

The old lady's face froze, obviously thinking of the Zuo family, who was very good at planting flowers and grass, and the original five points of enthusiasm became three points, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was lower: "Next time, if you have time, you will talk about it." ”

The woman was a little confused, but when she saw that the old lady was serving tea, she hurriedly took her leave. Shu Manyao hurriedly said the matter: "Now that Yang Gongzi is still placed in the side hall by me, grandmother will quickly think of a way, in case those people come back, we are all women and children." ”

The old lady nodded on her forehead angrily: "Do you still know that we are women and children?" Don't worry, since those three people were not there to search at the time, I think they have some scruples, and they will definitely not search this temple on a large scale, you stay here, I will let people go to the abbot. ”

"What if Fang Fang is a bad person?" Shu Manyao suddenly thought of this possibility: "Yang Gongzi was seriously injured and didn't dare to alarm the people in this temple, presumably, there are unreliable people in this temple, right?" ”

The old lady frowned slightly, got up and went to the side hall to see Yang Jianbai in person, Yang Jianbai lost too much blood, his face was very pale, he was holding on to prevent himself from fainting at this time, seeing the old lady, he also wanted to get up and salute, the old lady was busy holding people down, unlike Shu Manyao, the old lady was a little suspicious of Yang Jianbai: "Yang Gongzi, you said that those people want to hunt down your spies, what proof do you have?" ”

Yang Jianbai smiled and took out a few letters from his chest: "There are people in the court who collude with the Khitans, this is evidence, I was ordered to send it back to the capital immediately after I got the letter, and I was intercepted and killed halfway, those three are from the Central Plains, but they have betrayed the court." If the old lady can't believe me, let Master Shu read these letters. ”

The old lady was still a little skeptical: "Listen to what you mean, these letters are very important, we have no relatives and no reason, you have never even met my master, how can you believe my master?" ”

"Master Shu and I have met in front of the emperor." Yang Jianbai said vaguely, Shu Manyao didn't understand, but the old lady understood a little, so she nodded immediately, turned around and held her forehead and told Shu Manyao: "Just say that I have a heat stroke today, ask the abbot for permission for us to drive the carriage in." ”

Shu Manyao looked at Yang Jianbai, then at the old lady, stretched out his hand to cover his face, and when he put it down again, his face became crying and mournful, his face was full of worry and overwhelmed: "Oh, what can I do, I have to ask the people in the temple for help, go and inform my father, and let my father come and take us back." ”

With that, he turned around and ran outside. Yang Jianbai looked stunned, and the old lady was a little sneering: "Let you see ...... laugh, this child is spoiled by me" said this for the second time today, the previous time was polite, and this time, the old lady was really embarrassed. The granddaughter's face changed too quickly, I'm afraid it scared this Yang Gongzi, right?

Yang Jianbai coughed lightly, suppressed his smile, and raised his fist at the old lady: "Thank you for the old lady's willingness to believe in Yang, when the matter is over, Yang will come to the door to thank you." ”

The old lady waved her hand: "I'm not here to make you thank, you and Chengye are officials in the same dynasty, and you are all loyal to the emperor, just for Chengye, I will also help you with this." ”

One of the two people is a civil official, and the other is a military general, except for the time of the last dynasty, they can rarely meet. However, the fact that the two of them met in front of the emperor is very revealing in itself. Either the two of them are both ministers trusted and valued by the emperor, or the emperor has something to order, but one has been fighting outside the country all the year round, and the other has been in the capital, so the possibility of doing the same thing is relatively small.

Then only the former is left, both of them are valued and trusted by the emperor, and then they meet occasionally.

Besides, since Yang Jianbai is willing to believe in Shu Chengye, the old lady can't push this opportunity out. What Yang Jianbai said, when Shu Chengye comes, he will have his own distinction. If it's fake, just give it to someone who should do it, if it's true, the credit for this construction will also have a few points of Shu Chengye.

Shu Manyao came over soon, her eyes were a little red, but she had a smile on her face: "Grandmother, the carriage will come over in a while, but I thought about it for a while, if we go down the mountain at this time, it may attract the attention of those people, and the most important thing is that we are a group of women and children, but it is not safer than in the temple, otherwise, we should wait for my father to pick it up?" ”

The old lady was also a little hesitant, Yang Jianbai nodded hurriedly and praised: "What Miss Shu said makes sense, let's wait for Lord Shu, in case someone guards the ...... under the mountain."

"Alright, let's wait." The old lady thought for a moment and nodded in response. The people in the temple were also worried about the old lady's body, so they specially sent monks to come, Shu Manyao deliberately left those monks to guard in the courtyard on the grounds that he was afraid, because of the difference between men and women, those people did not enter the house, so they didn't know that there were more people in the house at this time.

Shu Chengye came quickly, and when he arrived, Yang Jianbai couldn't hold on, and he was already in a coma. The old lady handed the letters to Shu Chengye, Shu Chengye's face changed after reading it, first let the old lady and Yang Jianbai change clothes, the old lady pretended to be a servant, and followed behind to help Yang Jianbai into the carriage. Because he had to take care of the "old lady", Shu Manyao also followed into the carriage.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, someone stopped the carriage: "Lord Shu, it turned out to be you, it just so happened that I took the little girl out for a walk, but unfortunately the carriage at home broke down, I wonder if Lord Shu can appreciate his face and let the little girl and Ling Yan ride in the same carriage?" ”

Shu Chengye's face immediately became a little embarrassed: "Lord Chen, it's really ...... It's too unfortunate, this carriage, I'm afraid it can't sit down, my mother came to incense today, but accidentally suffered from heat stroke, the old man couldn't sit still, so he lay down in the car, plus my daughter, and a mother who was with her, it really can't accommodate people, it's better to do this, I'll let you make a carriage behind? ”

When going out, Shu Manyao and the old lady had a carriage, a carriage in the summer and winter, and a carriage for the four big maids of Jin Ling and the Golden Bottle, and then there was Yao's mother Li's mother, and Shu Manyao's upbringing mother Chen's mother, three mothers in a carriage, and the little maid and mother-in-law squeezed together, a total of two carriages, which was not very rich. However, if it is crowded, some space can still be freed up.

A junior can't let his elders make room for him. Then Lord Chen hesitated a little, looked at the carriage behind him, and nodded in response: "That's okay, there is a hurry, you can't delay the old lady because of the little girl, just do it, thank you Lord Shu." ”

"No, no, it's just a stranger, and he has to lend a hand when he sees this predicament, not to mention, we are officials in the same dynasty, how can I not save him when he dies?" As he spoke, he turned his head and ordered, "Xia Xi, you and Jin Ling will arrange people to make a carriage for Lord Chen." ”

Xia Xi responded, jumped out of the car with Jin Ling and the others, among the several carriages, except for the old lady's one, they looked the best, so this one must be vacated.

Shu Chengye saw that Lord Chen's eyes had been turning around the carriage, so he gave Xia Xi a look, Xia Xi had just accompanied Shu Manyao to settle Yang Jianbai, and at this time he also understood what Shu Chengye meant, so he pretended to relocate the people in the carriage, called everyone down, and arranged it again by name: "Master, there are still two people who are not enough to sit." ”

When the arrangement was completed, she was a little embarrassed. Shu Chengye was also a little embarrassed, and Lord Chen hurriedly said: "That's it, let them stay and wait for the time being, someone from my side is here, so I'll send them back first?" ”

This is outside the city, and if you go back, you will have to walk for more than an hour.

"Then it's going to trouble Lord Chen." Shu Chengye hurriedly said, and Lord Chen waved his hand: "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, Master Shu just rest assured, I will definitely send the people of the Shu family back safely." ”

"When Lord Chen speaks, I believe it, then I'll go first, my mother is unwell, so I won't stay longer." Shu Chengye smiled, saluted Lord Chen, and turned around to leave.

"Grandmother, can those two mothers cope with the past?" Originally, Shu Manyao wanted to keep Yao's mother and Li's mother, these two mothers, one is stable and the other is smart, even if Master Chen wants to find out the news, the two of them can deal with it.

But the old lady said that these two mothers are too conspicuous, whenever she goes out, she either takes Yao's mother, or Li's mother, or both, and the Shu family is familiar with her, who doesn't know the two most powerful mothers around the old lady? Since Lord Chen dared to come to intercept the carriage, he must have found out clearly, leaving the two mothers behind, which shows that they are weak-hearted.

The two of them were talking, when they heard a bang outside, and then, the horse in front neighed, and suddenly galloped forward, not beware, Shu Manyao and the old lady almost crashed out of the carriage door.

"Mother, Man Yao!" Outside, Shu Chengye was also taken aback, and hurriedly chased the horse, although the horse pulling the cart in front ran fast, but the carriage behind stumbled, this speed was not comparable to Shu Chengye's horse.

In addition, although Shu Chengye is a civil official, he has also learned the six arts of a gentleman, not to say that he is very proficient in riding and shooting, but he can also be regarded as able to see it, so he chased after him after a while, leaned out from the horse and wanted to pull the reins of the horse next to him, and he could pull it, but there was an accident - there was a very big stone on the road, Shu Chengye just cared about chasing the carriage, and he didn't see it, the horse went around, but the carriage didn't go around, and with a bang, the wheels of the carriage hit it, and then, the carriage flipped to the side and fell directly to the ground.
