Chapter 342: The Story

Although the storyteller in this teahouse is annoying, the dim sum in this teahouse is still good. Shen Yafei finished eating the plate of yam cake, and she was still a little unsatisfied. Soon, her hand reached for another plate of snacks.

At this time, the old guy downstairs began to tell what he just said about the "story of talented and beautiful women".

"This incident is a good story in our capital this year. However, this has to start more than a decade ago. More than ten years ago, when the two talented and beautiful women were just children. Once, the little boy went with his family to a temple on the outskirts of the capital to pray for blessings. The elders all went to the main hall to chant sutras and pray for blessings. The little boy naughtily avoided the nurse and the little maid and went out to play by himself.

······

And, at this time, there was another family in the temple, that is, the beautiful family that we want to talk about in our story. The two families used to move around on a regular basis, so the little girl's family joined the chanting procession after seeing the man's family at the temple. The little girl is curious, and she can't be closed in the wing, and like a boy, she runs out to play by herself when the family is not paying attention.

At this time, it is spring, and everything around the temple is revived, the scenery is pleasant, and the new life is often unforgettable. So the two men were fascinated by the mountain scenery, and they walked along the path of small wildflowers that bloomed until they stopped at a pond.

When the little girl came to the pool, she saw a small body fluttering in the pool, and she immediately ran over and lay down on the edge of the pool and called, but the little boy was gradually unconscious. The little girl looked around, and no adult was there. She thought about it and jumped off anyway. The little boy came up, and she hurried away.

The little boy wakes up to find a small earring next to him. He remembered that he seemed to have seen a little girl when he was unconscious, and the earrings must have been left by her. The little boy put the earrings in his sleeve pocket, and he felt that he had to return them to the little girl who had saved his life.

When the little boy returned home, he asked people to investigate the home of the person who had gone to the temple that day, and soon the identity of the little girl was determined. The little boy met the little girl and thanked the little girl for saving her life. Because of this, the two families have come closer, and after getting along for a long time, they found that each other has their favorite characteristics, and they both put each other in their hearts.

······

Later, the little girl was not in good health and had to go to her hometown to recuperate. Before leaving, the little boy met with the little girl. The little boy talked to the little girl a lot of private words, and finally said, "I'll wait for you to come back, and I'll marry you." ”

When saying goodbye, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly.

······

The little boy grew up and did not marry when he reached marriageable age.

······

After the little girl came back, it took the little boy more than a year of hard work to exchange more stickers with the little girl's family, and married the little girl home with a luxurious gift that shocked the entire capital. ”

The old man stopped and rested as he said this.

When listening to the previous plot, Shen Yafei felt that this story was somewhat familiar, but the deviation was a little serious, so she put down the doubts in her heart, it should not be what she thought.

As a result, when he heard the back, Xu Shizi laughed. Shen Yafei looked at him blankly, he smiled and said, "I didn't know that our story was like this. Ha ha. ”

"He," Shen Yafei pointed to the old man downstairs and said, "Is he really talking about our story?" ”

"That's right." Xu Shizi said.

"He's good at doing things, and he's very good at stammering." Shen Yafei cut off and teased, "He has beautified you into a good man who is rare in time." ”

"Aren't I a good man for time?" Xu Shizi leaned in and asked.

Shen Yafei glanced at her and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Shizi sat back in his seat with satisfaction, looking very proudly downstairs and still telling the story of the mixed water, his eyes full of appreciation. Shen Yafei chuckled and shook her head speechlessly.

Looking at the posture of the old man downstairs, it should be a long time before this story ends. Shen Yafei tasted all the dim sum, listening to the story and feeling that it didn't have much to do with her, and gradually felt a little boring, she wanted to go back. However, when she turned her head to look at the young man, she saw that he listened with relish, and from time to time nodded in agreement with the old man's words. Shen Yafei's gaze had been on him several times, and he hadn't noticed it. Shen Yafei couldn't bear to interrupt him, so she had to let him go.

After listening to the story, it was already after noon, and the crowd on the street had already been much less, and the carriage went all the way back to the palace of the king of Li.

"Shizi, Shizifei, lunch is ready, do you want to eat now, or will you eat later?" Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi returned to the courtyard, and Zhiyu was there to guard, because they didn't let people come back to pass the word that they didn't need to eat, so the kitchen still prepared lunch according to the usual practice.

At noon, Zhiyu saw that the two had not come back and asked the kitchen to put lunch in the kitchen first, and now that the two were back, she waited for Shen Yafei to change the clothes on her body, and then asked the two about their meals. Because, she was worried that if she didn't have to eat, she wouldn't be able to eat lunch. If they wanted to eat now, she asked the kitchen man to warm up the lunch. If you don't want to eat yet, then give the prepared lunch to the next person, and then make it again when the two of them want to eat.

"Let's pass the meal." Xu Shizi saw that Shen Yafei had a tired face, and was worried that she would not wake up until dinner after she got into bed, so it was better to eat now.

"Okay." Respond with a knowing word.

Shen Yafei was not very hungry because she ate a lot of snacks in the teahouse and two steamed buns in the carriage, so she didn't need much for lunch. After lunch, she went to take a nap.

Approaching evening, Shen Yafei opened her sleepy eyes. The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the window, dyeing everything in the room yellow, yellow, but also warm, and I felt inexplicably fulfilled when I looked at it.

Not long after Shen Yafei got up, Dabao noticed it, and she went into the house to wait for Shen Yafei to wash and pull her hair. Shen Yafei saw that there was no figure of the prince in the house, so she asked, "Where did the prince go?" ”

"Just now, the governor of the capital came to look for the prince, and now the two of them are in the study." Dabao heard Shen Yafei take the initiative to ask Xu Shizi, his eyes lit up, and he immediately replied.

Shen Yafei didn't miss the teasing in Dabao's eyes, but she didn't care, and then asked, "Is there anything happening in the capital today?" ”

Generally, officials of the level of Fu Yin would not come to see Hua Xu, who was the son of the world, and they would not meet each other. This Mansion Yin was able to enter the Liwang Mansion to meet the prince because the two worked together for a period of time after the war, and they cultivated some feelings. Moreover, this is the first time that Fu Yin has taken the initiative to go to the mansion to find Xu Shizi, and he can come to find Xu Shizi, there must be something urgent.

Shen Yafei was a little confused. Since the end of King Lang's affairs, there have been few things in the capital that need to be handled by the capital government. To be able to make Fu Yin run to the Liwang Mansion to find the prince of Xu, then something terrible must have happened.

Dabao was also confused for a long time before replying: "I haven't heard of it." ”

In the study of the Liwang Mansion, Xu Shizi sat behind his desk, and there was a chair in front of him, on which Fu Yin was sitting. At this time, I don't know where the two of them were, I saw that Fu Yin was looking at Xu Shizi with a sincere face, and after a closer look, I could still see a look of expectation on Fu Yin's face.

Then, Xu Shizi shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter." ”

"Shizi, there is no way for Xia Guan to come to you for help, please." When Fu Yin heard that Xu Shizi had rejected his request, he immediately became anxious.

"Now that the princess is pregnant, this princess is not at ease, and there is no way to leave her side." Although it would be a little embarrassing for a person in his forties to use the honorific "you" in front of him, Xu Shizi still refused.

"It won't take you much time, it's probably going to take you seven days." Fu Yin solemnly promised.

Seven days! Xu Shizi's eyelids jumped suddenly, he had never thought about such a big number, he thought it would only take four or five days at most! Let him leave Shen Yafei's side for three or four days, he is a sleepy man, and it is even more impossible for seven days to be so long.

"Seven days is too long, and this son can't do it." The prince refused awe-inspiringly.

Xu Shizi's gaze was very firm, and Fu Yin wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Xu Shizi like this, Fu Yin couldn't say anything when he came to his mouth. But, but, what can be done? In this capital, only Xu Shizi and King Ning have the ability to help themselves. If this case were to be on his own, there would be no hope at all.

"Shizi, Xiaguan really needs your help." Fu Yin wants to fight for one last time.

Xu Shizi shook his head and proposed, "If you don't want to find another way, you can go to the Criminal Department for help." ”

"The Criminal Department can assist us, but no one in the Criminal Department can handle this matter." Fu Yin said.

"You're looking for me to show us how well those people are doing, you just want a capable healer. I can provide you with these, and you will definitely be able to achieve the results you want. You don't have to go out with the princess in person. Xu Shizi said.

"The lower official also needs your help in this matter, but the lower official has more important things for you to help, and only you can help the lower official." Fu Yin said, "Those who are always outsiders on the outskirts of the city need your help to find them. Xiaguan has already mobilized many people, but they have found nothing. Shiziye, your insight is much better, so you can help the lower officials. Xia Guan has not rested for several days for this matter. ”
