Jia Xian didn't expect him to reply so simply, but she was a little surprised, looked at him and asked, "Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?" ”

Jia Mingyuan naturally didn't want to repeat the words in the pavilion, so he pretended to be annoyed and said: "I didn't agree before, my sister said that I have high eyes, and now I let you be the master, and why do I agree?" Feelings, you are doing this game, not to find a suitable person for me, but to play with me. ”

After speaking, he grabbed Mrs. Jia and said, "Mother, let's go back, this inner courtyard of the palace, I've been sitting for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to bring gossip to my sister." ”

Mrs. Jia naturally knew this, so she got up to say goodbye to Jia Xian, and was led by the palace people to the palace gate to the north.

There were outsiders on the road, but the mother and son didn't say much, but as soon as they left the palace gate, Jia's mother couldn't help it: "Yuan'er, have you seen that Miss Qiu?" ”

Jia Mingyuan's mind didn't know where to go, and when his mother asked him like this, his face and ears were red again, but he refused to admit that he was careless, and only pushed the fault on Jia Xian's head.

"It's all arranged by my sister, through the thin screen, can there be any reason not to see?"

Mother Jia heard that he was not casually perfunctory, and she was really happy as if she had bloomed a flower: "So you really like Miss Qiu, so my mother can rest assured, the past has finally turned over." ”

As soon as Jia Mingyuan heard Jia's mother's words, his heart "roamed", it turned out that his mother and sister were eager to let him get married, and it was for this.

Although he felt uncomfortable, he was still satisfied with Miss Qiu's family, so he didn't say much.

The mother and son returned to the house, and since someone spread the news, some people began to make arrangements.

Zhenbei Hou Qiu Gang has been stationed in the north all the year round, and this time he returned to Beijing, one was that the emperor recruited him back, which was a holy order that could not be disobeyed.

The second is for Ye Yuanpei, General Ye has also been in the north for several years, and the relationship between the two of them was average before, they were both military generals, and they both guarded the same place, and they were both talented people, so there was nothing wrong with them.

It's just that in the past few years, General Ye suddenly approached him, and Qiu Gang also found that this person was bold-hearted, and he was a friend to make in order to be upright, so after coming and going, the relationship got better.

When he returned to Beijing, he also heard that Ye Yuanpei went to Pingyang Pass and never returned, so he felt sorry for him, so he came back to take a look.

It took two days to inquire that Master Si had also gone to Pingyang Pass to look for him, but came back with nothing.

For Qiu Gang, this was already the closest person to Ye Yuanpei, and when he didn't come back, he heard that this Master Si had a good relationship with General Ye, so he thought about visiting him once.

Most of the Jingguan already knew Zhuang Siyan's origin, but Zhenbeihou was away all the year round and was not familiar with the Jingguan, and he was also anxious to know about Ye Yuanpei's situation, so he inquired about Zhuang Siyan's residence before visiting others.

Just when Jia Xian asked the mother and daughter of the Qiu family to go to the palace, Qiu Gang also went to Zhuang Siyan's house with some thin gifts.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I was impressed by this master.

I heard that he is very talented, he is a detective given by the emperor, and he is also a popular person around the emperor, and his official position is not small, but he only lives in such a simple house, and there are no guards at the gate, or Qiu Gang knocked on the door, and a servant trotted out from inside, and saluted and asked him who he was looking for.

Qiu Gang hurriedly reported his name, and then explained his intentions.

The man knew the etiquette, and when he heard that it was Zhenbei Hou, he hurriedly invited people in first: "Master Hou, you sit down first, have a cup of tea, and our family will be here later." ”

For such an easy-going hospitality, Qiu Gang is also very comfortable.

His name is also well-known in the Dasheng Dynasty, and it is usually visited by others in his house, and he rarely takes the initiative to come to the door.

If there really was such a time, the family would either kneel down in fright, or they couldn't speak clearly, but they didn't expect that this Lord Si was so well-behaved, even an ordinary gatekeeper was polite and unflustered.

Qiu Gang didn't know that the person who came to open the door for him was Ah Si.

Ah Si is a person who even the emperor has seen, and he often goes out with Zhuang Siyan, General Ye, and the major officials in the capital have also seen it all over, and they really don't take Zhenbei Hou too seriously.

Of course, this is the master's guest, and he is still the same in terms of etiquette, thoughtful and complete.

Zhuang Siyan was sitting in the backyard talking to Mi Yueqing at this time, and when he heard Ah Si say that Zhenbei was coming, he was busy getting up and changing his clothes, and while walking to the front yard, he asked him: "Did you tell me what happened?" ”

"No, just said to visit you."

Zhuang Siyan has no friendship with Zhenbei Hou, and it is likely that he came because of Ye Yuanpei, so when he didn't go out to see him, he was covered with a layer of sadness in his heart.

However, on the surface, he was still very polite, brewed the best tea in the house, sat down with the guests and hosts in the north of the town, and first talked a few words about the weather in the capital, and then a few words about the weather in the north.

Then the topic unconsciously talked about Ye Yuanpei, saying that he was running around all the year round, in the capital for a while, then went to the north, then went to the south, and now went to Pingyang Pass in the west.

Zhenbei Hou is a straight person, and going around such a big circle is already the limit, when he mentioned Ye Yuanpei, he hurriedly got up, first arched his hand to Zhuang Siyan, and then said: "Master Si, I heard that General Ye was missing in the desert." ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Yes, the soldiers who came back with him all said so." ”

Qiu Gang immediately said: "I also heard that Master Si went to look for him, how is it?" ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled bitterly: "If there is a result, it will not be like what Qiu Beihou saw." ”

However, Zhuang Siyan was quite happy for Ye Yuanpei when he saw Qiu Gang, so many people knew him, but there were few people who were really worried about him, even those generals who usually followed him were still very sad when they came back at first, and then Ling Tian became the new leader for them, and they all let it go.

On the contrary, this Zhenbei Hou, who returned to Beijing all the way, the first thing he did was to inquire about him, and he can be regarded as a real friend, right?

And Qiu Gang was a little anxious when he heard her words: "Have you gone to find Master Si?" ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "I've found it, I've been in the desert for a few days, and I haven't heard from him at all." ”

There is no sand in the north, Qiu Gang can't imagine the situation in the desert, but he has a little obsession, feeling that he wants to see people in life and corpses in death, how can he be looking for so long and return empty-handed?

Zhuang Siyan couldn't either, and patiently told him about the wind and sand in the desert, and there were many unpredictable things.

Although she herself doesn't believe that Ye Yuanpei is dead, and there is also that Kobe's statement, it is very likely that Ye Yuanpei really went back to modern times.

But he can't come back now, and it's likely that he will never be able to come back, and for the people of the Dasheng Dynasty, it's no different from dead.

After listening to her words, Qiu Gang's face was not very good, and he asked for a long time: "So, if Yuan Pei can't come out, he will probably be buried in the belly of the sand?" ”

Zhuang Siyan was silent and lowered his head.

This steel-like waiter who has been guarding the northern border for several years has red circles in his eyes at this time.

"Yuan Pei was heroic all his life, he did not die on the battlefield, but was swallowed up by the yellow sand, how could he be blinded?"

Zhuang Siyan was speechless, and let him vent his sad emotions before he responded in a trance: "It's not easy to say, we didn't find him, and the desert has changed a lot, or his life is better, in case he encounters a crowd of wanderers, it is unknown whether he will survive." We can only keep hope now, and stop clinging to it. ”

Qiu Gang once again bowed his hand to Zhuang Siyan: "Master Si, it is enough for Yuan Pei to have a confidant like you." ”

Zhuang Siyan also bowed his hand to him and did not say anything more.

They didn't meet for a long time, and after talking about Ye Yuanpei, Qiu Gang didn't sit for a long time, so he went back first.

Zhuang Siyan sat by himself for a while, inevitably sad for Ye Yuanpei, but thinking about waiting to return to Beijing, it shouldn't be just for this matter, right?

It must have been Ling Tiancheng who asked him to come back, so was there something wrong?

If it was inappropriate for her to ask Zhenbeihou, she could only go back to the palace and ask Ling Tiancheng.

Still dressed in men's clothes, he just took a carriage and went to the palace.

Qing Ran, who accompanied her, was also surprised by her sudden return to the palace, and tried to ask on the way: "Is there anything wrong with Mr. going back?" ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "There is something wrong, but I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, go back and see him." ”

This is really rare, Qing Ran was a little stunned, the relationship between Zhuang Siyan and Ling Tiancheng was not bad, and it could be seen in the eyes of outsiders.

But she is a person, unlike ordinary women, she doesn't think about men all day long, and even when she leaves the capital, she doesn't even mention it.

Qing Ran is now her personal guard, how Zhuang Siyan is in the palace, he doesn't know, but when he leaves the palace, he is really a real sweat, and suddenly said that he wanted to go back to see the emperor, and even showed a feeling of missing him, which made Qing Ran directly frightened.

After trying for a long time, I asked again: "You don't just go back and see, do you?" ”

Zhuang Siyan lifted the curtain of the car, looked at him and asked, "Then what else do you want?" Qingran, let me tell you, although you are a few years older than me, you are not married, and you don't know about men and women, so you don't know what it is.

Qingran: "......"

So what's what?

Although he is not married, he has seen people looking for women before, and they usually see a lot, mainly because he can't accept that Zhuang Siyan is so feminine all of a sudden.

The little entanglement between the two was awkward, which did not affect the speed of the car, and soon the palace gate arrived.

Zhuang Siyan jumped out of the car, still holding a package in her hand, the palace card shown at the palace gate, after being released, she turned around and shook her hand to Qing Ran, and then walked inside.

Carefully calculate the time, it has been a long time since I have been in the palace.

From the time she went to Pingyang Pass, a month or two, when she returned to the capital, she didn't come back to take a look, and lived directly outside.

Ling Tiancheng was also strange this time, she had been outside for a long time before, he couldn't help but go out to see her, but this time he didn't even go to see her once.

Zhuang Siyan was a little puzzled, but before Zhenbei Hou didn't go to her, she didn't think much about it, anyway, she was happy to be quiet.

But Zhenbeihou has been in the north all the year round, and it was really surprising to return to Beijing this time, she always felt that Ling Tiancheng was going to do something if she couldn't say it well.
