Chapter 403: Dream
The old lady was obviously trying her best to recall the past for a long time, "I recognized that Shen Yushu when I beat her when I was a child, and she is still my distant niece." This girl is smart and beautiful because she is small, and the bigger she is, the more outstanding she is, and there is no match for her in all four miles and eight towns. His father and mother wanted to marry her to a good family, so she enrolled in school for a few years, and she was also quite smart and could memorize the four books and five classics very well, even men are not as good as themselves, so this reputation has risen. At that time, even people in the county town came to propose marriage, which was called a scenery! ”
It's just that the year she was in time for the emperor to issue an edict, saying that she wanted to recruit beauties from all over the country and enrich the harem. The Shen family immediately withdrew from the marriage contract with a county prince and pushed Shen Yushu away. She should also be blessed, standing out among the hundreds of girls, and was selected to enter Beijing. ”
After a year or two, she also came back, saying that she was promoted to permanent presence by the emperor. Oh, their Shen family has also become a wealthy local squire, and they have made friends with the nobles in the surrounding areas, not to mention how enviable they are. Everyone said that their daughters were blessed, and they were also blessed with great blessings. ”
When the old woman said this, she sighed again, "It is not necessarily a blessing, this scenery has only lasted for five or six years. Ten years ago, she was suddenly deposed from the palace by the emperor and came back here. ”
"She's back?" Ye Yun'er was so surprised that her heart was about to burst out of her throat.
Shen Changzai is really here!
"And where is she now?"
The old woman's expression became more and more gloomy, "When she came back, she didn't say a word, and she didn't pay attention to any trouble, as if she was stupid." Their Shen family was also snubbed and criticized because of this, and gradually declined. After that, the family moved elsewhere. As for where they moved, they didn't say, and the old woman didn't know. ”
Ye Yun'er's excited heart suddenly fell back again, and she looked at Mu Yihan in disappointment.
Obviously, Mu Yihan was also disappointed, and his eyes suddenly lost his previous brilliance.
"So, are there any other acquaintances in their family here?" Ye Yun'er looked forward to finding some clues from elsewhere.
The old woman asked again, and it was easy to understand what Ye Yun'er was asking, and she raised her trembling finger and pointed to the north, "Their cousin is in the northernmost part of the village, called Shenyangda, you can go and ask." ”
Ye Yun'er thanked her, pulled Mu Yihan and walked forward.
Mu Qingyuan saw that what they were looking for was just a constant presence in the palace, but she couldn't cry or laugh, and she couldn't help but be confused.
"What are you looking for this woman for? Could it be that she can also make a lot of money from you? ”
Ye Yun'er raised her eyebrows, "County Lord, do you think we only have money in our hearts?" ”
"The fourth prince may not be, but if you are a businessman, you must be." Mu Qingyuan said with disdain.
"It turns out that the county lord treats merchants like this, so if you pride yourself on taking a fancy to businessmen, you can see how flashy and unrealistic, and your hearts are different." Ye Yun'er also replied mockingly.
Mu Qingyuan's face turned blue with anger, but what could she say? After all, what Ye Yun'er said was the truth.
Several people came to the north of the village, and after some inquiry, they found Shenyang Dajia.
Shenyang was nearly fifty years old, and when he saw a group of gorgeously dressed nobles coming to his house, he was stunned.
"Is it Shenyang Dajia?" Ye Yun'er asked politely.
"I don't know who you're looking for?" Shen Yangda was vigilant and never let go of the hand holding the door frame.
Ye Yun'er said straight to the point: "We heard that you are Shen Yushu's cousin, and we specially came to inquire about them from you. ”
Hearing this, the other party suddenly lowered his face and said hesitantly: "What is there to talk about?" The unfortunate one turned into a fool and came back, and then somehow went crazy, and their family had no face to continue to stay here, so they had to go away. I know all that, and I don't know anything else, so don't ask me. ”
As he spoke, he was about to close the door and no longer pay attention to Ye Yun'er and the others.
"Hey, big brother, don't you close the door yet?" Ye Yun'er hurriedly stepped forward against the door and said with a smile, "You haven't told us yet, where did they go?" ”
The other party became more and more vigilant, and his yellow eyes looked at Ye Yun'er with dripping eyes, as if he was speculating about her true intentions, "What are you asking this for?" ”
Ye Yun'er really didn't think of the wording to respond to this thorny question.
Was she going to tell this stranger what they really were coming for?
While she was racking her brains and thinking, Mu Yihan behind her said slowly: "We are looking for her on the orders of the emperor." The emperor suddenly got a dream and dreamed of Shen Changzai, thinking that Shen Changzai was entrusting her with a dream. The emperor remembered her benefits in the past, and regretted his decision to expel her from the palace back then, so he called us over to sympathize with her, and it was best to give her some material compensation, so that she could feel better. ”
Not only was Shen Yangda surprised, but even Ye Yun'er was a little dumbfounded, looking at Mu Yihan incredulously.
She really admires Mu Yihan's ability to adapt to emergencies and his ability to lie without blinking.
I have to say that this rhetoric is well-reasoned and tempting.
The rarest thing for these peasant families is material things, if the emperor intends to compensate Shen Yushu, then it can not only make Shen Yushu's family reinvigorate, but also make their whole clan regain their lost face, and by the way, take a little light.
Yes, the other party finally softened his hard tone.
"I see." He scratched his head, but his face was sad and bitter, "But to tell you the truth, I really don't know where they are. When the family left, they secretly left with their packages while everyone was asleep, and no one knew anything. Even his own brothers still don't know their whereabouts. ”
The people who had originally given birth to some hope, when they heard what the other party said, they were all discouraged and worried.
It's like a piece of fat that is about to arrive, and someone has robbed it halfway, and the person has covered his face so that they can't see clearly and can't chase him. That's how they feel helpless and anxious.
But Mu Yihan was obviously not reconciled, and asked instead, "Where is their original home?" Can you take us over and have a look? ”
"Where did they come from?" The other party couldn't help but laugh and said, "Last year, it was occupied by his brother, and it was used as a new house for their son, and it was rebuilt and overhauled." Everyone thought they wouldn't come back, so the place was idle......"
Now it seems that this clue is becoming more and more difficult to find.
