"Mrs. Hui, after the envoy came back, he went directly to the yamen, probably because there were many things, and he hadn't gone home yet!"

Qingwan nodded: "You send someone to the yamen to ask, just say that my monk is back, let him take the time to come back." ”

The housekeeper agreed, and came back after a while: "Envoy Wei said that he was discussing things with the prefect, and he would come back when he was done, but it would be midnight." ”

Qingwan pinched the letter in his hand: "I don't know how Brother Guan will react when he reads it." ”

"Okay, don't worry about it yet," Lu Yanyi comforted her: "Brother Guan is not an ignorant person, Qinglu is a woman, and she can be so resolute and rational, I think Brother Guan will also want to open it." ”

"He is my younger brother, I know his temper and personality best since he was a child, don't look at the surface and don't talk much, in fact, he is very careful, I am really afraid that he will get sick."

Speaking of this, I saw the housekeeper reply: "Someone from the pharmacy came to see Shangshu." ”

Lu Yanyi didn't have time to say much, so he hurried out.

Here Qingwan packed some Qianzhou specialties, as well as a few boxes of pills for his parents, and also made a bag of small clothes for his little nephew, all carefully wrapped, ready to be taken back to the capital by Hanguan.

As soon as I packed up, I saw Lu Yanyilang's uncle and the two came back together.

"How can it be so coincidental?" When Qingwan saw her younger brother, her heart sank: "Are you two done with your business?" ”

Hanguan didn't care about answering, and asked straight to the point: "Sister, has Qinglu come to Qianzhou?" ”

Although on the way back, Qingwan thought of thousands of ways to tell him, but when it came to the end, his mind was blank, and he couldn't say a word when he looked at his brother's eager eyes.

Seeing this, Hanguan became more and more hesitant: "Second sister! Is something wrong? You can't hide it from me! ”

"No, no," Qingwan hurriedly distinguished: "Qinglu she"

"Didn't she come? Didn't you say that you would come here to investigate the truth of the matter? Hanguan shook her sister's shoulder vigorously, pinching her painfully.

"Brother Guan, don't worry," Lu Yanyi hurriedly stepped forward and separated: "Listen to me tell you carefully, Qinglu has decided to stay in Turkic!" ”

"What, what do you say? This is not true! Absolutely not! Hanguan shouted loudly in disbelief: "When I left, she promised to deal with the Turkic affairs and come over!" How"

"Brother Guan, my sister is also sad in my heart," Qingwan thought of it, and her eyes turned red: "This is the letter that Qinglu asked me to pass on to you, and everything she wants to say is on it, you can see for yourself." ”

Hanguan took it, his hand shaking to open the letter, he took a deep breath first, read every word on it, and his face became whiter and paler.

"Brother Guan!" Qingwan was afraid that something would happen to him, so she held him tightly: "You are a man, but you must not be so weak!" ”

"Sister, I don't believe it, is this really written by her own hand?" Hanguan raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him with a frantic gaze: "No, no!" We had a pact between us that we would not lose each other in this life! Someone must have faked this! Isn't it a Turkic king? ”

"Brother Guan! You have to be calm! Lu Yanyi pressed his shoulder hard: "Remember what your sister said, you are a man, no matter what happens, you must be brave to face it!" ”

"I don't believe it! I'll never believe it! Hanguan said bitterly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" ”

"Brother Guan, don't blame yourself, you haven't done anything wrong in this matter from beginning to end." Qingwan had tears in her eyes and comforted him.

"Second sister, you don't know," Hanguan said: "I refused to leave at the time, she said, and then she will follow, I stayed there, but it made her have concerns, many things are not easy to do, now it seems that she is coaxing me!" Hanguan hurriedly turned on the ground, "No, I have to rush back to the Turks to see her!" ”

"Hey!" Qingwan hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Can you calm down?" Have you ever thought that it would be more difficult to go back at this time and call the princess? In vain to make her sad? If it's really good for the heron, you should think of a safe way, you can't be so impatient and impatient! ”

"Second sister, what do you say I should do? I can't leave her alone! ”

"Brother Guan, in your mind, besides your parents, who is the most important person?" Lu Yanyi suddenly asked.

"Needless to say, it's naturally a heron!" Hanguan replied without hesitation.

"Really? Are you sure? ”

Hanguan looked at his brother-in-law puzzled: "What do you mean by that?" ”

"If you really know your heart, you should be courageous." Lu Yanyi said: "Go to the Turks to marry her!" ”

"To the Turks?"

Lu Yanyi nodded: "Is there any other way now?" ”

This time, Hanguan did not refuse as before, but fell into deep contemplation.

"You see that Brother Guan is uncomfortable like this, why do you want to force him?" Qingwan couldn't bear it and complained.

"Why am I forcing Brother Guan? It's time for him to make a decision," Lu Yanyi disagreed: "This is related to his lifelong happiness, do you have to hesitate?" ”

"Second sister, brother-in-law is right," Hanguan raised his head with a resolute face: "I have already decided, give up the official position in the capital and go to the Turks!" ”

"Brother Guan, you have to think about it," Qingwan hurriedly said: "This is not a child's house, just talk about it, if you really go, it will be difficult to return to the Central Plains." ”

"I thought about it, Qinglu treats me sincerely, and I can't let her down. If you say that the ideal ambition can be realized in the Turks, the two places have been fighting for many years, the people are miserable, and there are many things waiting for someone to do. ”

"This is my good brother!" Lu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Yes"

Qingwan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her younger brother: "Second sister, I have made up my mind, you don't need to say anything more." When I returned to Beijing and resumed my life, I resigned from the table. ”

"Okay, my sister understands your temperament, although she is silent on the surface, but she also says the same, I respect your choice, Qinglu is a good girl, and your future will be happy." Qingwan stroked his brother's shoulder and said.

"Second sister, thank you." Hanguan grabbed her hand.

"Okay, I have to go to the pharmacy to take a look, I don't know how many things have accumulated," Lu Yanyi said: "Brother Guan is going to leave tomorrow, you accompany him to have a good chat, I will probably have to be busy all night, and I will come back tomorrow morning." ”

When he left, Qingwan instructed him while helping his brother prepare his luggage. Hanguan was uneasy, and he only promised in his mouth, but he didn't listen to anything.

Qingwan sighed, cooked some food by herself, and the sister and brother had dinner and chatted until it was almost dawn, and then they went back to their rooms to rest for a while.

As soon as it was dark, Qingwan went to Zhang Luo for breakfast, and when Lu Yanyi came back, they had a few simple bites together, and the three of them rushed to the state office.

The people of the mission were already waiting there, and the prefect came to see them off, and after a few words of greeting in a routine manner, the time of departure arrived.

"Be careful on the road," Qingwan held back tears: "What you said yesterday, don't be in a hurry after returning to Beijing, be cautious." Discuss it with your parents, don't make the two old people anxious. ”

"Second sister, don't worry," Hanguan nodded.

Because of the large number of people, it was difficult to say anything, so I swallowed the rest of the words, and watched the mission and his party go on the road, the dust was flying, and the eyes were fascinated, and tears flowed down the water.

From this day on, Qingwan pinched her fingers and counted the days every day, always worried in her heart, I don't know how shocked her parents should be when they heard this after returning to Beijing.

Things are going well in the pharmacy, the couple are busy every day, and the quality of the medicinal materials on the market has improved a lot.

The weather is getting hotter, but compared with the capital, Qianzhou is still much cooler, and there is a cool breeze blowing on the face from time to time, which makes people less irritable.

After Hanguan moved, he didn't even write a letter, which made Qingwan couldn't help but complain: "No matter if it's good or bad, it's good to write a few words, isn't it suspenseful?" ”

"Brother Guan is a special envoy, and this mission to various tribes is a major event of the imperial court, this time he returns to the capital, I don't know how many things are waiting for him to do, and he will be very busy," Lu Yanyi knew in his heart: "And he is in a bad mood, where can he care about writing letters?" ”

"That's what I'm talking about," Qingwan said worriedly: "I know my own brother best, he has been silent since he was a child, but his mind is heavier than anyone else. This incident with Qinglu is also the biggest blow he has ever suffered in his life, and I'm really afraid that something will happen to him. ”

"Don't worry," Lu Yanyi comforted her: "You are a relative, and you are very anxious." In your eyes, you always treat Brother Guan as a child, but in fact, how can he be as fragile as you think? After so many years of training, I can still handle it when it comes to the end. What I'm thinking about is the resignation, Brother Guan is now the pillar of the court, I'm afraid that the emperor won't agree easily. ”

As the couple was talking about this, they saw the maid come in and say, "Mrs. Hui, there is a letter from the capital." ”

"Beijing?" Qingwan was overjoyed: "That must be Brother Guan!" ”

Hurriedly took it and took a look, but it was Lu Xiufang's name written on the cover.

"Is there something wrong with Sister Xiuwan?" Qingwan couldn't help but wonder a little: "But did you bring anything else?" ”

The maid shook her head: "It was sent by the fast horse of the Tojo Station, only this letter, and said that it must be handed over to the lady by hand." ”

"Take it apart and take a look, if there is no big event, Xiufang will not write a letter from thousands of miles away." Lu Yanyi was also a little anxious.

"The secret recipe for cosmetics has been stolen!" Reading every word on the letter, Qingwan's heart sank a little: "How can this be? I checked for several days, but I didn't find out why! ”

"Someone must have seen that the shop's business was booming, so they had a crooked thought," Lu Yanyi said: "Is this the case?" And said you didn't say anything else? ”

"So I asked if I had any other prescriptions, and that day Sister Xiuwan went to see my father, and saw that Brother Guan was listless, very depressed, as if he was sick, Sister Xiuwan asked me in the letter, did something happen to Brother Guan?" Qingwan's hands trembled: "No! I need to go back to the capital! ”
