Chapter 49: Repentance
Fortunately, at this time, the sky was already bright, and the two of them walked down the mountain along the path on the edge of the waterhole.
Shen Qianshan grabbed Gu Yan's hand all the way, even if he had already saved her, but as long as he thought of her confronting the big snake by herself, his heart was trembling, he didn't know how scared she was when she faced the big snake, but he didn't even shout his name.
He didn't know if it was because she was used to being independent, or if she wasn't used to having herself by her side at all.
The sky was already bright, and a white mist rose all around, with the smell of water in it, and the sun rose and shone on the dew-stained plants, shining with all colors.
Gu Yan was tired, she was really tired this night, but she still insisted on walking to the bottom of the mountain, and when she crossed the door, it was the Suxin Palace, and the entire Suxin Hall looked very serious in the early morning sun.
There were a lot of people coming and going around, all busy doing something, and when they saw Shen Qianshan and Gu Yan, there was some shock in the eyes of those people, and they seemed to be full of compassion. I don't know why she has such an expression, but it makes her look very unhappy.
Walking to the main hall, the hall master seemed to have arrived a long time ago, and was sitting there eating, watching Shen Qianshan take Gu Yan's hand and walk in slowly, he first looked up and down in disbelief, and looked at the two people who were full of mud and very depressed, so he raised his eyebrows and leaned back on the chair, looking very proud.
"Now that you have obtained these things you want, when will you give me the 100,000 taels of silver?" The hall master asked lightly, this 100,000 taels of silver has been said before, and a man like Shen Qianshan will not regret it.
Shen Qianshan sneered, raised his eyes to look at the hall master, and said slowly: "These Suxin Grass were brought back by the two of us who sacrificed their lives, does it have anything to do with you?" If you want money, why do you want to ask you first? ”
At this time, Shen Qianshan thought that when Gu Yan faced the big black snake alone, there seemed to be an evil fire rising in his heart, and there was no place to vent.
As soon as the hall master heard it, he knew that Shen Qianshan seemed to want to repay the debt, in fact, he also saw that this Shen Qianshan knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, and the kind of domineering and aura that the whole person carried made people feel like a man with a very high status in the capital.
Although the Suxin Palace is outside the world, it is more or less necessary to avoid the people with power in the capital, after all, those capable men can lead troops to take the Suxin Palace in one fell swoop at any time.
But now the capital is in chaos, and the powerful people are difficult to protect themselves, even if the man standing in front of him is the emperor, as long as he does not reveal his identity, the hall master will have the opportunity to play Tai Chi with him.
"What does this mean? Do you just not want to give me money? The hall master asked, still maintaining a gentle attitude at this time, and the hall master even felt that he was very polite.
Shen Qianshan didn't speak, but his attitude was very obvious, and these two people were not ready to give in to each other.
Gu Yan looked at the hall master from the side, this man guards such a big family business, but he wants to sell herbs for money, and it seems that he has succeeded in some examples, so if he says this, Su Xin Hall must have offended many people in the capital, and it is not as brilliant as imagined.
Shen Qianshan turned his mouth a little sideways and whispered, "Don't think about anything for a while, just run away with the herbs." ”
Gu Yan nodded slightly, indicating that she had heard Shen Qianshan's words clearly, the hall master didn't expect Shen Qianshan to actually play with him, and said with a cold face: "This heart grass grows in our yard, if you want to take it, you must have our consent, what's the problem?" ”
"If you want to make money on this herb, prepare it and sell it to us, but if we took it ourselves, why should we give it to you?" Shen Qianshan was still as indifferent as before, standing there, without too many words and movements, but let the hall master know that he would never give in.
The atmosphere of the hall changed suddenly, and after the hall master's eyes scanned Shen Qianshan seriously, he gave the hand next to him a look, the latter nodded, and took the lead in rushing over, Gu Yan immediately ran out of the gate with the herbs on his back, and the people around him didn't know what was going on, and put down the work in his hand and looked at her blankly.
Shen Qianshan was behind Gu Yan, protecting her at all times, and when someone was about to run up, he turned his head and gave a kick, and then continued to run.
Someone wanted to close the gate, as if they wanted to catch turtles in an urn, but Gu Yan used all her strength to rush out of the gate, and when she turned her head, she found that the gate was closed, and Shen Qianshan did not come out.
Gu Yan was startled, so she turned around and knocked on the door heavily, she couldn't just leave, leaving Shen Qianshan in such a dangerous place, he was there alone, God knows what would happen.
Gu Yan only knocked a few times, and saw Shen Qianshan turn out from the inside of the gate, the clothes on his body flew like butterflies, and after landing, he reached out and grabbed her hand and ran forward, and the closed door behind him reopened, and many people rushed out of it, screaming to catch the two people.
Shen Qianshan's hand was cold, when Gu Yan held it, he felt that his whole body was smart, and he turned his head to look at him, but found that he frowned tightly, pursed his mouth, and his eyes were full of firmness, I don't know why, such Shen Qianshan actually had a sense of security that he hadn't felt for a long time, and he hadn't felt this way for a long time, which made Gu Yan lose his mind for a moment, probably because she hadn't been able to rely on someone for a long time.
The speed of the people behind him was very fast, on the other hand, because the two of them had been busy all night, their bodies didn't have much strength, and now they were about to run for their lives, seeing that the group of people behind them were about to catch up, and suddenly a few people flew down from the trees next to them, blocking behind Gu Yan.
Gu Yan wanted to turn her head to see who it was, but found that Shen Qianshan smiled at her and whispered, "My people." ”
Then the two of them slowed down, ran down all the way, and finally arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the two horses were still grazing leisurely around, Shen Qianshan flew up, pulled Gu Yan up, and the two of them shared a horse, and quickly went in the direction of the capital.
At noon, Shen Qianshan sent Gu Yan to the door of Prime Minister Gu's mansion, her small body carrying a large basket, and inside was a very precious heart grass.
Shen Qianshan dismounted and said to Gu Yan: "Put these Suxin grasses with me, you bring a little less." ”
After finishing speaking, she snatched the back basket over, Gu Yan was stunned, and saw Shen Qianshan give her a look, and sure enough, the corner of a pink dress was revealed in the corner of the wall, obviously someone was secretly observing, so Gu Yan took out two Suxin grass from the back basket, and gave the rest to Shen Qianshan.
The separation was imminent, Gu Yan met Shen Qianshan's eyes, and gave him a very respectful salute, saying: "Thank you for the help of the Ninth Prince, great kindness and great virtue......"
Before Gu Yan's words were finished, Shen Qianshan waved his hand and said to her: "Don't say those high-sounding words, go back and take a bath, take a good rest, this matter is not over yet." ”
After speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, smiled at Gu Yan, and turned to leave.
The smile was clean and refreshing, as clear as the water in the pool of the mountain behind the Suxin Palace, which made people fascinated.
Gu Yan just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and returned to the yard with the two Suxin grasses in her hands.
Passing by the main hall, Prime Minister Gu Cheng sat in the courtyard in front of the main hall, looking worriedly at the stack of books on the table.
Ye Fan him next to him, adding new tea from time to time.
Gu Yan seemed to be unable to get around, so she had to step forward to greet the two of them.
As soon as Ye saw that Gu Yan was coming, he quickly got up, pretended to be very enthusiastic and gave Gu Yan a seat over, prepared a bowl of tea for Gu Yan, and sat down next to Prime Minister Gu again.
Prime Minister Gu glanced at the Ye family with great appreciation, then turned his head to Gu Yan and said, "Sister-in-law, you have also heard that the disaster in the capital has been serious recently, and the plague is rampant, I heard that Mrs. said that you always like to go out, but be careful." ”
I didn't expect that Ye Shi would actually say bad things about Gu Yan in front of Prime Minister Gu Cheng, Gu Yan could think of her face, and she must have said that she was thinking about her safety, but she Gu Yan is not something that anyone can say if they want to.
So Gu Chang served tea to Prime Minister Gu Cheng, and said very sincerely and respectfully: "Father's words and daughter keep them in mind, but Mrs. cares so much about Chang'er that makes Chang'er a little frightened. ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye's family, Gu Chengxiang's tea was already in his mouth, and after hearing Gu Yan's words, he put the tea on the table and asked coldly: "Chang'er, are you blaming Madame for being nosy?" ”
That's what Gu Chang means! But in front of Prime Minister Gu Cheng, she naturally couldn't say this, so she pretended to be very surprised and looked at him, and then said, "How come? At this time, the capital is turbulent, and it is also appropriate for Mrs. to look at the people at home, but father, think about it, Mrs. knows my whereabouts better than myself, after all, there is still something wrong, Madam, if you want to know about Sister-in-law, just ask Sister-in-law. ”
Prime Minister Gu had a cold face, according to Gu Yan's meaning, the Ye family at this time was no longer nosy, it was surveillance, and no one wanted their lives to be monitored by others.
"Since Chang'er also feels inconvenient, don't do that in the future, after all, Chang'er is already an adult, and she will handle her affairs by herself." Gu Chengxiang said to Ye with a cold face.
Ye opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend something, but in the end he didn't, just lowered his head and said very respectfully: "The slave family knows." ”
Prime Minister Gu nodded with satisfaction, and said to Gu Yan: "You yourself must be more careful, and you must not do anything that damages the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Gu Yan nodded and retreated. Ye Shi looked at her back, the corner of her mouth sneered, did she think what she was doing was a secret? In fact, this is not the case at all, those secrets are all known to the Ye family, and there will definitely be a big surprise about the Liu family without her knowing.
Back in the yard, listening to the wind and blowing snow seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Gu Yan coming back, they all rushed up, looking nervous.
