Chapter 11: Distress

"Thank you, two sons." Yuan Mingxi, who was red-faced, trotted all the way into the Zhizhou Mansion.

"Brother Ye this time, he hasn't been out of the school yet, so he arrived first."

Chen Zexi laughed teasingly, grabbed Ye Lin's shoulder, and strode back to the banquet hall.

Of course, Ye Lin knew that the girl dressed as a little girl was his target this time, Miss Yuansi.

Having learned from the experience of the last failure, Ye Lin decided that this time, he must make a good impression on Miss Yuansi.

When there were still twenty miles away from Jiangzhou, Ye Lin sent a small servant to investigate in many ways.

also deliberately dressed up carefully on the day of entering the city, walking slowly and shallowly.

In order to try not to make a fool of yourself.

Think about the first meeting between yourself and Miss Wansan, it is a good story for a hero to save the beauty, but the man who needs to be saved by the beauty can only be called a bear.

It's just that I didn't expect that this time, the prey was hooked so quickly.

Perhaps, if you stay in Jiangzhou for a while, this family business will be a certainty.

The girl of the Yuan family who entered the house in a panic didn't have the heart to stay at the banquet longer.

Shame on you.

The girl of the Yuan family wants to choose her own husband, but the education she has received since she was a child is still the same as that of everyone's ladies.

If she had successfully entered the Zhizhou Mansion today, she would naturally be cheeky and look at Ye Lin twice.

just failed, and was stared at by the Ye family's son. Shame on you.

Yuan Mingxi is now nesting in the small corner of the men's living room of the banquet with the maid Siruo, looking forward to the end of the banquet soon.

The sky often doesn't go as people wish.

These two people were dressed in the clothes of the little maids in the Yuanfu, but their faces were very raw. Yuan Mingxuan walked over.

"Fourth sister?" Yuan Mingxi shuddered when he heard the sound.

Oops, I forgot to change my clothes into those of the governor's mansion.

"What are you messing around? Whose son-in-law do you fall in love with? Can't you talk to the third brother? Yuan Mingxuan suppressed his voice and spoke extremely fast.

"The girl who hasn't left the cabinet runs to the men's guest seat, if it gets out, you won't have a place to cry."

Without waiting for Yuan Mingxi to answer, Yuan Mingxuan said quickly. "Follow me, don't run around."

After the banquet, Yuan Mingxi stood in the study of the Yuan Mansion, facing the wall and thinking.

The little girl couldn't stand the repeated bombardment of her brother's parents, and finally said everything she could.

He was also fined three hours of facing the wall and ten days of grounding.

Just after the ten-day lockdown period of Yuan Mingxi, Jinzhou sent a letter.

Something happened to his brother-in-law and niece, and Yuan Xu looked at the letter in his hand. I just feel that this paper seems to weigh a thousand gold.

On the Li River in late July, the heat gradually dissipates, the autumn wind is sassy, the green trees and red maples on both sides of the river, and the golden cinnamon is fragrant.

Wan Jinyue didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery, let alone the wind.

Wan San, a girl who has never been far away, is seasick.

Wan Jinyue, who has been floating on the river for more than ten days, has now become a paper man, and the wind blows down.

She had to lie peacefully in the cabin every day, day and night upside down in a daze, occasionally listening to Yun Yuan make up bizarre stories.

It was a quiet night, and there was not even the sound of the wind blowing through the water.

The light of the fire suddenly burst through the sky, and with it the smell of burning wood.

Excessive sleep during the day made Wan Jinyue the first to notice something abnormal.

The handkerchief she carried with her was wet with tea, and Wan Jinyue listened to Yun Yuan's words and moved quickly.

Covered with a wet handkerchief, he rushed out.

The wing room where Wan's father lived was on fire at this time. On the board, people choking on the smoke of the fire were in a mess.

Those who knew how to water jumped overboard, and those who didn't know how to water also picked up a brisk plank and jumped into the water.

Only Wan Jinyue, dressed as a small girl, was rushing into the firelight.

That's her father, she doesn't have a mother anymore.

Four years ago, the image of my mother breathing in front of me flashed in front of me again.

Lines of tears flowed down Wan Jinyue's cheeks.

Yun Yuan's heart throbbed rapidly, and at that moment she couldn't tell whether she was in pain or Wan Jinyue was in pain.

Back then, when she heard the news of her mother's tragic death, her heart was also so painful.

"Let me go, leave it to me, Wan girl." As Yun Yuan's voice sounded, Wan Jinyue lost control of her body.

All she could see was "herself" draped in a wet quilt and rushed into the firelight.

"Themselves" dragged out, charred people.

The boat was about to sink, and "myself" dragged the man and jumped into the river.

She could even feel "herself" jumping into the river, which was cold and bitterly cold.

Autumn has already arrived, will winter be far away?

The next day, she woke up in the dazzling sunlight.

What she clutched in her hand was a corner of blackened clothing.

Her arms hurt and her legs were unconscious, and she couldn't get herself to sit up from the river beach with all her strength.

Pain mixed with exhaustion, Wan Jinyue fell asleep again.

In Jinzhou City at the beginning of August, many people have begun to prepare items for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole city is full of joy.

The palace of Yingjun in the southeast of the city was silently hung with mourning flags.

The king of the county and his entourage, walking by water, acted in a low-key manner, and did not hang the official flag. When he arrived at the junction of Chongyue, he encountered evil bandits, and the whole ship was burned, and less than 12 out of 10 escaped. Chongyue Erzhou, sent the best soldiers with good water nature, searched for several days, and the king of the county has not heard from him so far.

Wan Ziyang, who is full of filial piety, sat in the hall of deliberations.

Looking around, there are no more men in the family except for himself.

The eldest sister's eyes were red, obviously she had already cried, and the second sister was still sobbing.

Aunt Chen, who has always been introverted, stood in the corner, bowing her head and saying nothing.

My grandmother didn't show it on her face, but overnight, her hair turned white.

Father and third sister, no bones remain.

Wan Ziyang sighed heavily, got up silently and began to get busy.

Knowing that most of the bones could not be recovered, Wan Ziyang still sent more than a dozen guards from the Fuzhong who were skilled and knew how to water to search along the Li River.

As a son, you must always make the last effort.

The mourning hall has been set up, and there are two empty coffins inside.

The funeral post was also sent to each house to send the good foot force. Uncle Jiangzhou's family, let's write a letter in person.

Wan Ziyang explained the miscellaneous matters, and personally looked at the arrangement of the mourning hall, and after finishing these, the moon has gone to the middle of the sky.

Wan Ziyang walked in the empty county king's mansion, and couldn't help but sigh, this autumn wind is really getting cooler day by day.

Wan Ziyang attaches great importance to filial piety and kneels in the mourning hall to thank the guests who came to mourn.

The two sisters, Wan Jinlan and Wan Jinyu, also wore filial piety clothes to receive the female relatives who came to mourn.

Yuan Xu rode a fierce horse and drove for two or three days in a row, and finally arrived in Jinzhou.

Glaring white.

Yuan Mingxuan escorted the carriage of his mother Yuan Yu and his fourth sister Yuan Mingxi all the way, and delayed his departure.

accompanied by Ye Lin, the son of Jinzhou Zhizhou.

As soon as Wan Zebin died, most of the Wan family's military power was lost, and Ye Lin was suddenly a little glad that Wan San's refusal.

It's just a pity that it's a good situation.

Now in this situation, it is inconvenient to mention the marriage between himself and Miss Yuan Si in the short term.

By the seventh day, almost all the guests who should have come to pay their respects had already arrived.

The Yuan family and his party have also lived at home for three or four days.

With the company of my uncle's family, the old lady and her two sisters are in better spirits.

Wan Ziyang thought that it was time to take his father's third sister's personal belongings and go back to the ancestral tomb of Liyang for burial.
