Chapter 42: You really shouldn't be soft-hearted
Wen Yan burst out laughing.
She didn't know what the old lady was thinking just now, but the way she ran away with an umbrella was so funny.
This little girl, why is she so naΓ―ve.
Wen Yan smiled happily, and when she noticed a gaze falling on her, she raised her eyes.
Huo Yixiao gestured with his chin to the cuff that was pulled.
Wen Yan was relieved, but his fingers did not move away, but he seriously sorted out the cuffs for Huo Yixiao.
was so careful, Huo Yi couldn't be damaged or sarcastic, and the words were held in his throat, and finally gave up.
Wen Yan saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart, "Let's go first, they will be separated in the private room for a while, and when they meet someone, they are easy to show their stuffing." β
Huo Yixiao walked forward with an umbrella.
Wen Yan followed and said, "The Ding'an Hou Mansion is not far from here, Xiao Ye probably doesn't know the way, so follow me." β
Huo Yixiao snorted lightly.
If he could find his mother, Huo Yixiao would not listen to Wen Yan.
It's a pity that the little girl ran away and threw her girl on the street.
It was already night, and it was raining, and it was not a matter for the little girl to wander the street alone.
He's got to help people to the end.
Wen Yan walked and said, "I was in the restaurant just now, and I just listened to the movement next door, and I didn't have dinner." I'm a little hungry, how about you? Is there dinner still being prepared at this hour? β
Huo Yixiao looked at the banquet: "If you have something to say, say it directly." β
"The Hou Mansion must not have prepared it, I don't want to eat cold snacks," Wen Yan said, "Just the house on the corner of the street in front of me, Xiao Ye invited me to eat a bowl, right?" β
Huo Yixiao raised his eyebrows: "Please?" β
"The old lady ran away, and I don't have a copper plate on me." Wen Yan replied as a matter of course.
Huo Yixiao didn't speak immediately, he looked at Wen Yan for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "If you buy it, go back to the house quickly." β
On the other hand, Governor Li walked back to the private room with a calm face.
The smell of wine in his nose was tangy, and he had just let the night breeze blow a little clearer of his thoughts, so that the wine was flushed, and he was confused again.
At this time, no one was persuaded to drink anymore.
Some people barely managed to maintain their manners, and some people were already lying on the table.
Governor Li sat down and squinted his eyes and swept everyone over.
Which one was it that caused him to mention Xia Tianzhu that day; Which one is it, after listening to Wen Zifu talk about the arrangement of the Hou Mansion on incense, he thought of transferring him to Tonglu on the same day; Which one else gave the specific time arrangement to the Shunping Bofu......
All of you here are your colleagues who are on duty every day, and they are all his subordinates.
Perhaps it was the influence of the strength of the wine, in the eyes of Li Zhifu, except for the two brothers of the Wen family who were bitter masters, the others were all suspicious.
Governor Li looked at Huo Huaiding beside him again.
Huo Huaiding smiled, his speech slurred, but he was still enough to drink: "Lord Li, drink again?" β
Governor Li shuddered.
He looked at others suspiciously, and Huo Huaiding looked at him even more suspicious!
Shangxiang was mentioned by him, and the personnel transfer was arranged by him, he knew everything, and he would not be able to talk about it if he heard the news.
If he can't find a scapegoat, the Ding'an Hou Mansion will make trouble in the end, and he will not be able to solve the case if he is not in a good position, but he will be in cahoots with the Shunping Bofu and persecute the Hou Mansion.
Wen Yan talked to Huo Huaiding on the day of the banquet, and the princess closed her mouth, all of them were high, and it was not for him to get it.
He is just a "little" prefect, and he can't bear the charge when he is pressed down!
The more Governor Li thought about it, the more he regretted it, he shouldn't have been involved in the affairs of these two families, especially since he was still trying to use the case to pinch Wen Zifu in the middle of the night.
As a result, I didn't hold it back, but also because I was countered by Wen Yan.
Those rivalries between you and me can be regarded as evidence that he "took refuge" in Bofu.
If he were to patrol it, he would think so nine times out of ten.
Li Zhifu stubbornly touched Huo Huaiding again.
If it's not wine, it's regret medicine, that's fine.
After sitting for a while, they were not strong enough to drink, and they dispersed.
Huo Yixuan came to help the drunken Huo Huaiding.
His own father is in charge of his own family, in case Governor Li is smart and does something foolish......
Neither of them, father nor son, want to go back to the capital!
The little officials also came in and helped see the adults off.
Seeing that Huo Huaiding was leaving, Governor Li first arranged for someone to send Wen Zifu and Wen Zilan away, and then asked, "What nonsense were you talking about outside the thatched house just now?" β
Little officials, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what it means.
Governor Li said angrily: "It's useless to pretend to be stupid!" The affairs of Bofu are what you can do at will? People are not afraid of provoking the Hou Mansion, what are you doing? Wait for the master to wake up, and slowly settle the account! β
He said he was going to find out the man!
Dead friends, or dead poor friends, do you still need to choose?
Governor Li scolded and scolded, and the officials shrunk their necks to do things, not reasoning with drunks.
There were fewer and fewer people in the private room.
Governor Li got up and kicked Huang Tongju's chair: "Lao Huang, it's time to go back, don't leave again, your mother-in-law should make trouble." β
Huang Tongjuan, who was lying on the table, raised his head, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled: "My lord, what do you mean by settling accounts just now?" What is blended and not blended? β
Li Zhifu said: "It's just right, you think back with me, how could I mention Tianzhu that day......
Huang Tongju slipped from his chair: "My lord, I, I ......"
Seeing him react like this, Governor Li was stunned, and then frowned.
With his hand pressed on Huang Tongju's neck, Governor Li said word by word: "You'd better tell me the truth!" β
ββ
Huo Yixiao held an umbrella, glanced at the high wall of the Ding'an Hou Mansion not far away, and then looked at Wen Yan.
First of all, she wanted to eat mixed Sichuan and asked her to take it back to the house for use, but she disliked the noodles and knew that she would eat them in the store.
When I finished eating, I said that I was going to buy dim sum on the next street, and it was also lucky, and the dim sum shop was still open.
It was obviously a rainy night, and Wen Yan didn't know where the interest came from, and he wanted to take a look.
Thanks to the jewelry, rouge, and fabric shops, they are all closed, otherwise they will continue to shop.
Huo Yixiao silently recited "10,000 taels of silver" over and over again, so that he could be patient and did not throw people on the street.
Now, when you get to the outside of the house, you can't find a reason to continue, right?
Wen Yan's face was full of regret.
"Not done yet?" Huo Yixiao said.
Wen Yan didn't hear the mockery in Huo Yixiao's tone, and sighed: "After I came back from the capital, I have been recuperating in the hot spring Zhuangzi for the past year, and I only moved back to the mansion not long ago. If you have the opportunity to walk more, you will not be able to get enough. β
Huo Yixiao was slightly stunned.
Have been cultivating your body on Zhuangzi?
Is your body so bad?
Just looking at the complexion in the past few days, it doesn't seem to be a long-term illness.
No, Wen Yan, who was not afraid of the cold before, was afraid of the cold, so he went to the hot spring Zhuangzi.
I lived for almost a year and there was no cure, and before the winter, I had to wrap it tightly.
Thinking of this, there are some words that are not in a good tone that cannot be spoken.
Huo Yixiao cleared his throat and said, "I see that the Hou Mansion did not deter you from going out, you can choose a sunny day, and ...... during the day."
"Is Xiao Ye going shopping with me?" Wen Yan interrupted Huo Yixiao's words with a smile, "I like you, I don't care about rain or shine, I want to seize every opportunity." β
"Wen Yan!" Huo Yixiao was really angry with her.
Listen, what are these words!
The little fox has no face or skin at all, and climbs up with a little pole!
I really shouldn't be soft-hearted, just throw her outside the restaurant!
Huo Yixiao pointed to the wall and said, "Either go through the door or go over the wall, immediately!" β
