Chapter 107: It doesn't have to be this way
The emperor soon learned about the prime minister's injury, and sent a message very understandingly, saying that the prime minister should continue to live in the smoke and rain for a period of time, and he didn't have to worry too much about the affairs of the court, and the twists and turns sent over were really less than half.
In addition, additional people were specially sent to help find people. As for Ning Su, because of the smoke and rain, she had nothing to do, so she simply packed up her belongings and went back to the palace.
On the afternoon of the day Ning Su left, the Xu family also sent a carriage over to pick up Xu Rulan and Mrs. Xu. Before leaving, Xu Rulan reluctantly said goodbye to Yang Qingyun, saying that the great kindness was unforgettable, and if she found an opportunity to repay her in the future.
Yang Qingyun has now washed her grievances and can go back to the Hou Mansion. Just thinking that Zhou Hanyan's matter was still not clear, he flew the pigeon and sent a letter back to inform him that he would stay in the smoke and rain for another two days. turned around and wanted Yang Siyi to go back first but failed, saying that it was not safe to leave her alone here, and insisted on advancing and retreating with her.
Yang Qingyun had no choice but to respond to her.
said that it was for the prime minister to recuperate, but in fact, the prime minister was still so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
Most of the affairs of the DPRK and China were handled during the day, and they did not feel any difference because of the ban on smoke and rain, but now that they have returned to normal, there are often officials of the DPRK and China who come and go.
Whenever she heard the maid come to report, Yang Qingyun consciously avoided it, so as not to bump into it.
After two days like this, she had no news about Zhou Hanyan, endured and endured, and finally didn't go to Prime Minister Shen Dacheng to ask again.
And on the evening of the second day, Yan Qi came over and said that Xiangye had invited her over to talk.
Yang Qingyun was waiting, and when she heard the words, she followed Yan Qi without saying a word.
When he arrived, Shen Liangzhao was sitting at the table, and his white jade face was unwavering, but it was illuminated by the candle flame on one side of the delicate and perfect silhouette of his face.
He was thinking about things, and there was a cup of tea in his hand, and the tea smoke curled.
Yang Qingyun walked in, and after the salute, he sat on the other side of the table.
Shen Liangzhao has always liked to be clean and neat, and in a few words, he briefly informed him of the results of the search in the past few days.
"I have searched for the vicinity of Yanyuxing no less than five times, and there is no trace of the Zhou family girl anywhere. At our rate, it stands to reason that this is not the result, but she is like the world has evaporated. ”
Yang Qingyun didn't expect this to be the case, and was stunned for a moment and said, "How come?" What do you mean......"
Her voice was lowered, and she didn't say the words "was she eaten by the beasts" after all.
Shen Liangzhao seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and opened his mouth to take over the conversation, "These continuous mountains were almost trampled down by us, and we haven't seen any wild beasts, the only possibility is that she was rescued and quickly transferred." ”
He paused at the end, and suddenly sneered, "It's really interesting, I don't know who that big man is, he can't be underestimated with such courage and strategy, I have to find out this person." ”
Yang Qingyun listened obediently on the side, and a pair of willow eyebrows loosened tightly.
When he learned that Zhou Hanyan was mostly alive, he was strangely relieved, but thinking of her current whereabouts unknown and the hatred in her eyes when she fell off the cliff, her brows unconsciously locked again.
She didn't talk, she was still digesting what the eldest minister said, but someone outside chuckled and called the third sister.
As soon as Yang Qingyun looked up, she saw her fourth sister walking in with a big lacquer red plate, and her eyebrows were very bright. After entering the room, he first said hello to Shen Liangzhao, and then put the medicinal soup with a strong medicinal smell in the tray in front of him.
“…… I tasted it a little before, and this medicinal soup is really bitter, and thanks to my cleverness, I sent the maid to buy some candied fruit, so that I won't have a bitter taste in my mouth after eating the medicinal soup. Yang Siyi said while taking out a small plate of thick candied black dates from the red plate, I don't know if I am still young and I don't know if this one in front of me is the master who can call the wind and rain in the court or because of his innocent and pure temperament, he is not afraid when facing this master, and even a little playful, "Xiangye, you are about to eat, this bowl of medicinal soup was brought in when it was warmed, I specially asked Doctor Ning before, these medicines must be drunk, and you can't not eat them because they are bitter." ”
Shen Liangzhao thanked him, turned his head and saw Yan Qi lying at the door of the room sneakily looking at them, and immediately called Yan Qi unhurriedly.
Yan Qi was almost frightened, and hurriedly rolled in to reply, "Master, the little one who persuaded Miss Yang Si really didn't persuade him......"
He was talking about Miss Yang Si personally boiling medicine for her grandfather.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be the work of his personal servant, but he can't stand the fact that Miss Yang Si has come again and again, and he gradually became acquainted. After cooking, he often came to talk to him when he was boiling medicine, and from time to time he had to ask questions such as how to decoct the medicine, how to look at the heat, etc., who would have thought that she had this idea?
Yan Qi felt that he was particularly wronged, and he also blamed himself for getting up late for a moment of snooze, and when he hurried to decoct his master's medicine, Yang Si Girl had already sat in front of the medicine pot for an hour.
He glanced at the person pitifully, but Yang Siyi laughed out loud.
"Yan Qi, what are you doing to look at me like that? After helping you decoct the medicine left and right, you can still spare time to do something else for your grandfather, what's wrong? After Yang Siyi joked about Yan Qi for a few sentences, he put away the playful smile on his face and explained seriously, "...... Xiangye has worked hard for this time, and he has helped the third sister and me a lot, which is really unrecompensable. I saw that there was no one around Xiangye to serve, so I simply helped to do what I could, and I repaid your kindness. ”
If it weren't for what she saw with her own eyes today, Yang Qingyun really didn't know that her fourth sister often ran here.
She didn't have a good feeling that it was a noble lady in the boudoir to behave like this. What's more, if she really wants to repay the favor, she will return it, and it has nothing to do with her four sisters.
After going through this incident one after another, she realized that it is not easy to be a good person, her reputation is like that, and she doesn't care so much about adding some bad things; It's her fourth sister, who is lively and smiling, and her reputation has always been good, and the Hou Mansion is still counting on her to marry a good husband.
Shen Liangzhao smiled lightly after hearing the ins and outs, "Miss Yang Si is too polite, it's just that my business has always been handled by Yan Qi, and the matter of decoction in the future will still be left to him, you don't have to be like this as a girl from the Hou Mansion." ”
Yang Siyi saw him talking like this, and wanted to argue a few more sentences, but there was a little guy waiting outside, saying that he had something to do.
The two sisters of the Hou Mansion were very interested, and they got up immediately to say goodbye.
After the two of them went out of the courtyard together, Yang Qingyun found a suitable time and said to Yang Siyi: "Fourth sister, although the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated, but this time I owe Xiangye from beginning to end, you don't have to do it for me." The reputation of the girl's family is very important, those who know understand the reason why you do this, but what you don't know is to misunderstand that you are pleasing the master and want to get his favor, so your reputation will definitely suffer a loss and be looked down upon by others. ”
