In the study, Nangong Pu was quiet after finishing speaking, and both of them seemed to be thinking about the key to this. After a while, I listened to Zhou Tang's analysis: "Now, the other two elders in the South China Sea are forcing the palace with 30,000 taels of silver, and Xu Baoshen can still hold on, which shows that the weight is still a little worse." He paused and asked, "Miss Yao's sister?" Could it be that Xu Baoshen's misbehavior caused her to commit suicide? You said that Mrs. Han did not let the tomb be moved, could it be that Mrs. Han killed it? ”

Nangong Dingkang laughed when he heard her say this, "This story is made up ......, whether she commits suicide or kills him, it is always wrong to be buried outside the main hall." ”

"Could it be ......, an empty tomb? People didn't die? Zhou Tang continued to use his imagination.

Nangong Pu also smiled, "Mother, it's not that it's not possible. If that's the case, it doesn't seem to make sense to be buried outside the main hall, right? ”

"Then why?" Zhou Tang looked at the two of them.

"If you know the reason, maybe you can help the two elders." Nangong Pu replied with a smile.

"Now Mrs. Han's reason is that Miss Yao is not there, so she will not let the tomb be moved. Where is Miss Yao? Find her and ask her to agree to move the grave, don't you know? Zhou Tang looked at Nangong Dingkang.

Nangong Dingkang was helpless, "Where to find Miss Yao?" ”

Zhou Tang thought for a while and asked, "You say, will Ah Jin know?" ”

Nangong Dingkang didn't answer, and looked at Nangong Pu, meaning to let him ask.

"There has been no news of Miss Yao since Tianchengwei." Nangong Pu smiled bitterly, "It should be said that we didn't pay attention to her either." Ah Jin ...... here, I'd better ask Dr. Xiao Du first. I don't think Du Ling may know, "It's really not good, I will think of other ways, and I will definitely withdraw this marriage within this year." Although he said so, what Nangong Pu thought was that if he really couldn't give 30,000 taels first, of course, he wouldn't give them so plainly and leave a backhand. When Ah Jin's marriage is decided, it is a matter of how to get back 30,000 taels, at least it will not involve Ah Jin's marriage.

Zhou Tang hesitated and said to Nangong Dingkang: "The Zhang family, that's it?" The expression is still a little unwilling, I always feel that my son is good at everything, and it is really aggrieved to match the famous ugly girl in Pingyang.

"Let's talk to Ah Jin again, he really likes it, it's decided. If Ah Pu is sure here, then by the end of the year, what should be done will be done. Nangong Dingkang didn't think about it so much, and turned his head to ask Zhou Tang, "What is Song Ran doing?" How do you make glass in your own yard? This kid ....... Nangong Dingkang couldn't find any words to describe it, "Ah Jin's matter here is decided, and he will do it for him immediately." These two sessions will be completed next year, and the children will not be able to delay when they are old. ”

Zhou Tang nodded, and he was also worried about Li Songran, for some reason he was always unenlightened in this regard. Therefore, you must find someone suitable for him in all aspects, and when he becomes a parent, he will like it if he doesn't like it. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the announcement outside, "The young lady asks to see you." ”

Nangong Dingkang looked at Zhou Tang and Nangong Pu strangely. As a daughter-in-law, Shen Xueying has never been to the outer study.

When Shen Xueying entered the door, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and she saluted Nangong Dingkang and his wife.

Nangong Pu got up and helped her and gave her an inquiring look. Shen Xueying glanced at him, her face was full of sadness, and then she turned her head to Nangong Dingkang and said, "Father, mother, something happened to Xueying's mother's family, I want to go over and take a look immediately." ”

"What's wrong? What's going on at home? Without waiting for Nangong Dingkang to say anything, Nangong Pu asked anxiously.

Shen Xueying shed tears again, "I just received a letter from my mother's family, my eldest brother Wei Dong is missing, I'm afraid there will be more than luck." ”

Nangong Dingkang knew Shen Weidong, but he didn't have a good impression of this person, even the current Shen family. At the beginning, when Mrs. Shen was alive, Shen Xueying was decided, and if it was replaced by Shen Jing to talk, this family would not be married. So, frowning and asking, "How did you disappear?" ”

"Back to her father's words, Xue Ying still doesn't know. My eldest brother and I are the same mother, can my father allow me to go and see. Shen Xueying wiped away her tears, stopped crying and said, "Xue Ying knows that there have been a lot of things at home recently, and it is really ....... ”

Seeing that she was crying pitifully, Zhou Tang stood up, took Shen Xueying's hand and comforted: "It's okay to go and have a look, let Ah Pu accompany you." ”

Nangong Pu glanced at Nangong Dingkang, and Nangong Dingkang nodded at him. So, he said to Zhou Tang: "Mother, this matter is urgent, let's leave now." "What I want is to go early and return early, after all, I still have to deal with the affairs of each church.

**********

Nangong Pu and Shen Xueying didn't stop all the way, and rushed to Lu'an as quickly as possible.

Lu'an Shen Mansion was gloomy. When Shen Jing saw Nangong Pu, his eyes showed hope. He wrote to Shen Xueying just to ask her to ask the Nangong family for help, but he didn't expect his daughter to bring her uncle back directly.

The female relatives in the family cried miserably, especially Mrs. Shen Song and Shen Weidong's wife Fan. Shen Xueying tried her best to patiently ask about the situation, but Shen Jing couldn't say why.

I only knew that Shen Weidong had been in Puzhou for the first time, probably to talk to the Fan brothers about business, and then went home and took away the guards and long-term entourage. Fortunately, the guard Chai Gan has been coming back with news, but it suddenly disappeared two or three months ago, and the last news is that they are leaving Chenzhou and heading west.

Shen Jing had already sent someone to Chenzhou to look for someone, but he didn't find anyone, but he got the news that an official mansion was in the mountains west of Chenzhou and had defeated Liukou, which made Shen Jing anxious.

Nangong Pu listened to their words quietly and didn't say a word, but he was shocked in his heart. Chenzhou? How could it be Chenzhou?

Until the husband and wife returned to the room, Shen Xueying mentioned to him that she had entrusted Liu Yi to help Shen Weidong open a theater in Lu'an. Hearing Liu Yi's name, for Nangong Pu, everything was more than half understood. So, he hurriedly went out and sent a message, asking Li Mo to come to Lu'an.

Two days later, Li Mo arrived in Lu'an, and in a few words, the two of them had already sorted out everything.

For the two of them, what is unacceptable about the whole thing is Liu Yi's attitude, as for Shen Weidong, if he was really entrusted by Liu Yi to go to the mountain village in Chenzhou, then nine times out of ten he would not be able to survive.

Li Mo volunteered to go to Liu Yi to ask about the situation. As far as Nangong Pu is concerned, the dilemma is how to explain this matter to Shen Xueying. It is said that the corpse must be seen when he dies, and Nangong Pu originally wanted to find the corpse, at least to be buried in the ground. However, according to Li Mo, the entire village has become a peaceful lake, and Shen Weidong's body is nowhere to be found.

The next day, Nangong Pu took Shen Xueying back to Pingyang under the pretext of going back to send people to help find someone, and under the expectant eyes of the Shen family. But after returning to Pingyang, Nangong Puxiang forgot about this matter and was busy with the affairs of various halls, even if Shen Xueying asked, there was still no answer.

Until one day, Shen Xueying stopped asking.

**********

Pingyang, Zhou Tang couldn't wait for a long time, and asked Nangong Jin what he meant to Miss Zhang's family. Although she has always felt that Zhang Qiongshan looks average, Nangong Jin has publicly expressed her willingness to marry her, and Zhou Tang no longer objects to anything.

With this statement, Nangong Dingkang is ready to meet Zhang Huili for tea at a fixed time, of course, the main business will have to wait until around the end of the year, but the two families can move around first.

Taking advantage of the fact that winter has not yet fully begun, Zhang Huili Zhang of Pingyang Prefecture held a poetry meeting at the end of autumn, inviting marriageable men and women in the city. To put it bluntly, this move is just to let all the people of Pingyang understand tacitly that the Zhang family wants to marry the Nangong family, and those who fancy Nangong Jin can be dispersed.

In Nangong Mansion, there were originally three people attending the meeting, but Li Songran said, "Liuli is at a critical juncture and can't leave." He refused to go out, so the two brothers could only follow him.

On the day of the poetry meeting, there were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the sun was just right, and even everyone was in a good mood.

Although Zhang Huili had his own plans for this poetry meeting, all the ladies in Pingyang did not refuse to participate. After all, there is only one Nangong Jin, even if it is decided, but there are other sons, isn't it? As a result, the Zhangfu Poetry Club became a blind date again.

In the garden of Zhang's villa, the decoration is extremely elegant, and Zhang's autumn poetry meeting is here. There are Nangong Pu entertaining Pingyang's sons, big and small, Nangong Jin saves a lot of effort. After chatting a little bit, he slipped away to find Zhang Qiongshan while people were not paying attention.

In the villa, in front of the moon cave door that divides the front and back yards, Zhang Qiongshan sits alone in the corridor, with a coral hairpin in her hair bun. After she heard that Nangong Jin had arrived, she sat here, not only did she not see her good female companions, but even Hanxiang, who was serving her, was sent away by her. From time to time, I look at the moon cave gate that connects the front yard, and it is clear that they are waiting for someone.

Finally, Nangong Jin came over, stood in front of the moon cave door to look around, beckoned to her, Zhang Qiongshan smiled shyly.

"Are you waiting for me?" Nangong Jin asked with a smile.

Zhang Qiongshan blushed, bowed her head and walked to his side, blessed, "The second son is good." I—I'm just walking here. ”

"Hanxiang is not there?" Nangong Jin asked secretly.

Zhang Qiongshan didn't dare to raise her head, and said softly: "She, she has something." ”

"That's good." Nangong Jin seemed to be relieved, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the garden, shall we?" When I came over, I found that there was no one on the rockery, and it was very quiet. ”

Nangong Jin said casually, but Zhang Qiongshan's face was already red.

The two walked for a while, and Nangong Jin looked at Zhang Qiongshan who was following him and asked, "Why don't you go to my side?" There is no one here, so it's not convenient to chat like this. ”

Zhang Qiongshan lowered her head and said: "My mother said that women should not be parallel to men, and they should not be pampered and arrogant after marriage. What's more, the second son is, yes...... The general of the Imperial Seal. ”

"I haven't done anything, where are you arrogant?" Nangong Jin laughed, "Besides, once born and second mature, we have seen each other several times, just call me Ah Jin, always the second son, as if we are not familiar." ”

"This ...... This, not good. Zhang Qiongshan didn't dare to look at him, and the more she spoke, the softer she became, but her heart was sweet with joy.

There was really no one here in the rockery, and Zhang Qiongshan became nervous.

In front, Nangong Jin walked slower and slower, suddenly shook her body, gently supported the trunk of the tree beside her, stopped for a while, turned to Zhang Qiongshan and said, "I remember that there is something at home, and I want to go back immediately." I'm sorry I won't send you. ”

Zhang Qiongshan lowered her head, she didn't react at all, and when she hurriedly looked up at him, Nangong Jin had already walked through the rockery a few steps and walked out of this small garden where no one was.
