Chapter Twenty-Nine: Auspicious Whereabouts
Yan Juan's conversation with Xie Chen didn't last long after all.
The two of them talked about things that had nothing to do with them not far away, but they didn't say a word about their own experiences.
It was getting late, the sunset at dusk was sprinkled between the window lattices, the cool breeze blew the ginkgo trees in the courtyard, and the golden umbrella-shaped leaves fell one after another, like a golden rain.
Before leaving, Yan Qian asked casually, "Did you write to me today?" ”
Xie Chen also got up, ready to give her a ride.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are still the same as when you were a child, but whenever there is a little trouble, you will be extra vigilant." Actually, there are no big problems on my side, but there are some things in my heart that I can't understand, so I just panic. ”
"Don't worry, one letter a day, I won't forget it."
Not only does Yan Juan often think of things when she was a child, but so does Xie Chen.
He looked at Yan Juan in front of him, but what he thought of in his heart was her when he was a child.
People who have suddenly experienced life and death have a clearer understanding of the boundaries between life and death than ever before.
When she was a child, Yan Juan still used the milk name of young mother, probably because when the two of them met, it happened to be when both of them were dying, and when they saw each other's dying appearance, they would worry about the fragility of life. Therefore, when Yan Juan gets up every morning, she must come to him, for fear that he will pass away without her knowledge.
It's like her brother, when he wakes up, he can't see that person again.
God knows, he had already recovered from his injuries at that time, and the reason why he seemed sick was only because of the slight discomfort that would occur during the turn of the seasons.
Yan Wan paused.
She didn't think too much about it like Xie Chen, she just used his words to confirm Jixiang's whereabouts.
In fact, she could have asked Xie Chen directly, and Xie Chen would not fail to answer.
But who made this person's attitude towards things make Yan Juan feel inexplicably unfamiliar, and suddenly widened the distance between the two, and made her no longer as careless as before.
This estrangement may disappear by the next time we meet, but it is still there.
Xie Chen sent Yan Juan all the way to the gate of Xie Mansion.
He didn't ask where the two maids beside her had gone, but asked the people in the house to arrange the carriage in advance.
Before Xie Fu's carriage came out of the courtyard, they saw the Yan family's carriage parked near the intersection, and Yu Nong and Yu Qi were standing outside the carriage at this moment, looking in their direction from a distance.
"He should have parked the carriage closer."
Xie Chen estimated the distance between the carriage and the gate of Xie Mansion, although it was not too far, but it could have been closer.
Yan Juan said casually: "I used to stay at home all day, don't you and my father all look forward to me going out and walking a few more steps!" Why don't you like to go a long way now! ”
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the carriage.
Yuqi had already put down the small stool in advance, Yan Juan stepped on the stool and got into the car, turning around and waving his hand at Xie Chen.
He said, "Go back too, it's still cold outside." ”
After the carriage turned around, when Yan Wan opened the curtain and looked back, she saw that Xie Chen was still standing in place, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly with the light on his back, but it was a little uncomfortable to look at.
She leaned out of the car window, shook her hand at Xie Chen, and said loudly: "Don't be sad, those people are passers-by to you, you don't have to hesitate for those who don't matter......"
Although Xie Chen does not agree with her, everyone has selfish intentions.
Princess Qi is a complete stranger to Yan Juan.
No matter how innocent the other party is, he can't compare to Xie Chen here in Yan Juan.
She didn't have time to see Xie Chen's expression at that moment, and the carriage was stopped by him with a loud shout.
I didn't know what the coachman outside was thinking, so Xie Chen shouted to stop, and he really stopped the carriage, causing her to be beaten again.
"Wanwan, I don't know whether to let you continue to maintain your true temperament, or whether I hope that you will stay at home and copy the scriptures as before."
Through a window, Xie Chen's face was full of helplessness.
"It's a good thing that there is nothing else on either side of the alley, otherwise you leaned out like you just did, and if you accidentally bumped into it and scratched it, wouldn't it be you who hurt?"
When you sit in the carriage, don't move.
It's a pity that the girl in front of him didn't take this to heart at all.
Yan Juan sat in the carriage, lowered her head and said nothing, silent about Xie Chen's words.
What can Xie Chen do with her!
It's not that he sighed and sent her away, and persuaded her to pay attention to safety with kind words.
Beyond that, where else is possible!
"Whew!"
Yan Juan breathed a sigh of relief when the carriage left the alley and turned into another street.
She actually likes Xie Chen's concern very much.
However, she was at fault first, whether she apologized or obediently responded, she felt a little bad.
Of course, not saying a word, in fact, it is even more inappropriate.
It's better to skip this matter quickly and let other things occupy her heart at the moment!
Yan Juan turned her head to look at Yu Nong and Yu Qi in the carriage.
Xie Chen was also there just now, so even if she saw that something was wrong with these two people, she never asked anything.
Now you can ask directly.
"I thought you would go back to the house with the coachman, but I didn't think that the three of you are still staying at the gate of the Xie Mansion because you have already found auspiciousness?"
Yu Nong bit his lip and avoided Yan Xuan's gaze.
Staring at the corner of the carriage, he whispered, "We have actually gone back to the house, and we rushed here later." ”
"That's right!" Yan Wan nodded, his eyes shifted from Yu Nong's body to Yu Qi's body, and was about to speak, when he suddenly thought of something, and looked back at Yu Nong, "I thought you would take someone to find auspiciousness!" It's because there's already news from his side, so you also came with Yuqi and the others? ”
What kind of temperament are the maids around her, of course, Yan Wan is clear in her heart.
But I saw that Yu Nong's head was even lowered.
The sound is getting quieter and smaller, so small that it's almost inaudible.
She said, "auspicious...... ...... by the lord Got it. ”
Not only is the voice small, but the sentence is also broken down several times, which makes people feel weirdly anxious.
Yan Juan thought about the various possibilities of Jixiang's disappearance, maybe he accidentally saw the murder scene on the road and was chased by the gangsters and hid, or maybe he accidentally fell into the ditch and injured his leg, and was waiting for someone else to save him......
But among her various assumptions, there was absolutely no situation where Master Yan was looking for her.
She wanted to ask more carefully, but seeing that the two little maids in the carriage were like little quails at this moment, she knew that even if she asked, she would not be able to ask anything.
It's better to go back and find her father directly, if there is anything, it's better to make it clear in person.
Left and right are not a big deal.
Anyway, the person was safe and sound, and he didn't delay the errand, but he couldn't get the letter to her because of an accident, which was really not a big deal.
Before being called into the study by Master Yan, Yan Juan did not change his mind.
