There were people wearing Dongchang clothes guarding the Dongchang prison, and after seeing Guan Ping, he wanted to kneel down and salute, but was blocked by Guan Ping. Soon entered the prison, Sheng Mingzhu followed behind him, and no one dared to stop him.

Soon it was in the depths of the cell.

Sheng Mingzhu had already seen her father, and soon walked over Guan Ping, and looked inside by the door of the cell, "Daddy." ”

Sheng Qian was closing his eyes to recuperate, but suddenly heard his daughter's voice, and he was a little confused and didn't react. After opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful girl at the door of the cell, who was looking at herself excitedly, and suddenly got up from the ground and walked to the door of the cell, "Nannan, why did you come here, who brought you here, this prison is not as cold as the place next to it, what are you doing in such a ghostly place?" Listen to Daddy and go back. ”

Sheng Mingzhu saw that he was only wearing the official uniform he wore that day, and in this cell, she was now cold in her jacket, not to mention him who was only wearing single clothes, so she shook her head, "Guan Dudu brought me in, Daddy, I have a lot to say to you - what's wrong with you, mother and Lingzhu, we are all worried about you." ”

Guan Ping knew that he would go to prison without saying a word, and his family must be worried about him. Even though some people will tell them about the situation outside every day, they still can't help but want to hear their daughter talk about the current situation at home, so they looked at Guan Ping again, "Dudu, I want to talk to Nannan." ”

Sheng Mingzhu also looked at Guan Ping, the lights in the prison were dim, and she looked at herself.

Guan Ping looked at the person guarding next to him, and the man quickly took out the key from his waist and opened Sheng Qian's door. Guan Ping didn't go in, waited outside, and said again, "As soon as possible." "This dungeon is cold, and it is not a place for a girl to stay for a long time after all.

"I know, I won't cause trouble for the governor." Sheng Mingzhu thought that he was afraid that he would be in trouble if he stayed for a long time.

Guan Ping didn't speak, he had already gone outside.

Sheng Mingzhu entered the cell, and it was different from what others said, the conditions were definitely not good, but it was not as bad as the ordinary prison cell. There is even a small desk with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, for his father to write something in his spare time, Sheng Mingzhu took a look, and found that the food next to it was not as good as the one at home, but it was also good.

"Nannan, don't worry, my father is here to take care of the governor, and his daily life is fine." After that, he looked at Sheng Mingzhu nervously, "What about you, how about it, have there been any accidents at home these days?" ”

If he came in and met an embarrassed Sheng Qian, Sheng Mingzhu might not hide anything in his heart, and he didn't want him to know that he was worried. But now her father, although he is slightly emaciated, is obviously eating and drinking well and sleeping well, and then looking at his father's eyes, he is not flustered, and he shows that he has a spectrum in his heart.

Sheng Mingzhu remembered that his family had met at home in the past few days, and his eyes were red all of a sudden, "It's not good at all." How did your grandmother treat our mother, she told my mother, just wait for this matter, and want to send us back to Bingzhou? I've never seen such a cold-hearted grandmother? ”

Even the grandmothers of other people's families are studying for concubines, and they don't necessarily look like this to their own sons and granddaughters. If it weren't obvious that her father looked a little like Mrs. Song, Sheng Mingzhu would have picked it up as her father.

Anyway, she doesn't have much affection for her grandmother, so she will sue if she can sue her, and she only hopes that if she really quarrels with her grandmother again in the future, her father will be on her side. Sheng Qian touched his daughter's head comfortingly, how his mother treated him, Sheng Qian had always known in his heart, but he didn't expect her to treat Nan Nan and Lingzhu so ruthlessly.

"Don't worry, when Daddy goes out safely, I will set up a house."

Sheng Mingzhu nodded in a choked voice, and said to Sheng Qian about the woman who came to the door of the house a few days ago, "I tested the woman and found that her lips were not in the same way, so she was locked up in Dali Temple." ”

Sheng Qian nodded, "You handled this matter very well." Looking at Sheng Mingzhu again, "It's just that in the past few days, if someone comes to the door, you just have to ignore it, and someone will deal with it later." "These dirty things, Sheng Qian, as a father, doesn't want his daughter to get involved, and everything will be solved in a short time.

The father and daughter talked a great deal of things, until the night was very dark, and the doorkeeper coughed twice. Sheng Qian reacted, "Nannan, go home quickly, otherwise your mother should be worried." ”

Sheng Mingzhu saw that his clothes were very thin, his nose was a little sour, and he took off the fox fur on his collar, "Dad, you are here, you must take care of your body." ”

"Nannan, it's cold outside, you're a girl, it's not good to get cold. Dad is used to it", the girl takes care of herself, Sheng Qian's heart is full of warmth, why do you need foreign things. Sheng Mingzhu didn't let him take it off, "In the past, someone begged for carp for the elders, but I was a girl's family, and I couldn't do it on the side, but I couldn't watch my father suffer and enjoy happiness at home." ”

She had a thick nasal voice in her tone, she had grown up in the palm of Sheng Qian's hand since she was a child, and how could he refuse. The guard outside urged again, and Sheng Mingzhu walked out of the door.

——

Guan Ping looked at the starry night outside, the snow and rain alternated a few days ago, but it was very peaceful. In the past few days, the moon and stars are sparse every night, on the contrary, there are few days of peace. As he thought to himself, he heard the sound of small footsteps coming from behind him.

Turning her head back, she saw that she was walking out in small steps, her face glowing softly against the moonlight. Guan Ping turned around and stood.

Sheng Mingzhu looked up at him and said slightly, "Thank you for today's matter." ”

Her eyes were a little red, and Guan Ping could roughly imagine what the father and daughter could say together, and he could roughly guess what she would say with her temperament. Soon found that the collar she had originally wrapped around her neck was gone, revealing a smooth and fragrant neck, and said, "It's not early, I'll send you to your carriage." ”

Sheng Mingzhu's footsteps moved slightly, and instantly remembered the embarrassing situation just now, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he was still wondering if there was a way. But suddenly he felt a warmth in his neck, and he took her onto the horse with only one hand, and the wide cloak covered her from her neck to her legs, and there was a soft smell of ink.

Sheng Mingzhu was stunned, and soon the horse's hooves were raised, much faster than before. She couldn't help but lower her head, and in front of her was the man's broad chest.

This time, I didn't see the [key] just now, and I arrived safely all the way to a place not far from the house. Jin Zhi heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and hurriedly ran over to pick up people, Sheng Mingzhu got off the horse, and hurriedly took off the cloak, returned it to him, and said, "Thank you for the governor today, it's getting late, Mingzhu will go home first." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly followed Jin Zhi to the other end of the carriage. She still walked with her usual demeanor, but if you looked at the speed, it seemed as if some beast was chasing behind her.

Guan Ping lowered his eyes, held the cloak in his hand, and looked into the distance again. The horses of the carriage waited for a long time until they reached their master, their hooves raised slightly, and they shivered, and then they slowly turned around and prepared to go home.

"If you really use it, throw it away", Sheng Qian felt that he was like the cloak in his hand, and he wanted to throw it away, since others didn't want it, it was a waste product. But in the end, I took it home.

——

On this day and night, because of knowing Sheng Qian's current situation, Sheng Mingzhu slept exceptionally peacefully, and it was easy to have no nightmares. Yun Niang was worried about the survival of her husband and her daughter in the future, but when she saw that her eldest daughter finally slept peacefully today, and she also counted the only good thing in the past few days, she was slightly relieved.

He yawned too.

Because Sheng Mingzhu has nightmares when she sleeps at night in the past few days, afraid that she will be afraid in her dreams, Yun Niang and Huang's mother have been guarding her side, and when she is sick, they will call her up. Now that she saw this hour, people were still sleeping soundly, Huang's mother glanced at her hostess, saw that she was sleepy and yawned, and said with a smile, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, Miss has me watching here." ”

Yun Niang was shaking her head, and Huang's mother was about to push her, "It's easy for my daughter to have a good night's sleep here, you can also go and sleep well for me." ”

"Go ahead and get some good sleep."

Yun Niang looked at Huang's mother, she looked at herself, "The third lady looks like she is fine, I know her temperament very well, and she hides it in her heart." In the past few days, the master is not there, the third room refers to you, and the two small ones also need to be taken care of by you, so go and have a good rest. ”

Sheng Qian was not there these days, Yun Niang was really sleepy, so she lay in the yarn cupboard next to her daughter's boudoir, she was very sleepy, but now she was lying down, but she disappeared by seven or eight points, and talked with Huang's mother for a while.

"At the beginning, the marriage of the third lady should have been decided first." Huang's mother said, for so many years in the house, she has long taken Yun Niang as her own daughter, and she is not shy about speaking, "If something really happens, it will have no impact on her marriage, and now, I look at the old lady, she really doesn't look like a grandmother, she won't think about our three rooms, and the eldest lady, where is the heat and where to drill, I'm afraid that I only think that our three rooms are cold." ”

Yun Niang looked at the yarn cabinet above her head, her eyes open.

"I don't regret that I didn't get married for Nannan." Under the fame, naturally many people come to ask for marriage. And Sheng Qian told her early that what he did was to offend high-ranking officials, and if he came to ask to marry him at this moment, there was a chance that there would be people who would come to cling to him.

As he said, most of the people who ask for marriage are people who want to cling to the low gate. But in the end, her daughter is famous, but there are high-ranking people who ask to marry, and they are also left down by Sheng Qian one by one, saying that she wants to show a good one in person - Yun Niang guessed that he had a candidate in mind, so she pressed it and didn't mention it again.

"Let's go and see."

After saying that, he rolled over and fell asleep.

——

Due to the accident in the household department, many of the officials under the original Sheng Qian were taken on vacation by the new household servants, and Liu Zhiran was also one of them.

Early that morning, he did not go to the household department to be on duty, but had breakfast at home and was about to go outside. When passing by the back door, I heard that the little guy in the house was talking with the merchant who was selling vegetables outside, talking about Zhang Bang at the gate of the city wall today, and the previous household servant Sheng Qian's several crimes.
