、、、、、、、、、、 Before dark, Li Xun, Da Lang, Liu Lang and more than ten Ding went out of the city, and did not rush directly to Fangyuan, but found a village on the outskirts of the city to sit, until the second watch, Fang got up and hurried quietly, and quietly rushed to Fangyuan.

Sitting under the lamp with Gorou, there was a match to talk about some things when he was a child, and when he talked about Li Xun, Gorou said with a smile: "Xingzhi likes to run with his father since he was a child, saying that he will want an adult in the future, take a big boat, and go to a far place, but I didn't expect him to really run to do business......"

Peony said quietly: "He and we are not alone, one day, he will not do business again." ”

Gorou sighed, poured a cup of tea for Peony, and took the opportunity to say what he wanted to mention to Peony a long time ago: "Your fifth sister-in-law has an aunt and cousin, who is about the same age as me, who died the year before last, and already has children and daughters. I've seen people, and I can't compare with the brother of my sister-in-law's family at all, but your fifth sister-in-law still doesn't dare to tell my mother, and I don't dare to tell you, let me ask you first, after these things are over, would you like to see it? ”

Peony was stunned, could she only be married to a widower? already has children and daughters, so I don't care if she can give birth or not, right?

Seeing her hanging her head and silent, Gorou knew that she was not happy, and hurriedly said: "You think about it more, we just mention it according to our ideas, just for your good, there is no intention to force you and make you unhappy, if you don't want to, forget it." "Although the truth is known to my family, it is impossible to shout at it to others. In the eyes of others, Peony is a sick and weak body.

Peony smiled bitterly: "I know that my brothers and sisters-in-law are worried about me and feel sorry for me, how can they deliberately make me unhappy?" I'm just a little scared of getting married. ”

She was originally a prevarication, but listening to Wulang's heart, she felt a different feeling, and hurriedly comforted: "There are really a few people like the Liu family, and your fifth sister-in-law's aunt's family is very real." Hearing is false, seeing is believing, otherwise you will see it, right? ”

Suddenly, I heard Yuhe whispering outside the curtain: "Someone is here at home." Immediately afterwards, the curtain was raised, and Da Lang walked in first, and Peony smiled: "Big brother, why can you still go out of the city at this time?" Before the words fell, I saw Li Xun and Liulang walking in side by side.

Peony didn't expect Li Xun to follow, this was the first time the two met after he confessed to her, and they were so caught off guard that they were a little embarrassed for a while.

Da Lang said: "I went out a long time ago, and I didn't dare to go here until it was dark." I was afraid that those dogs would know that we were coming, so I didn't dare to send it to the door. ”

After Li Xun glanced at the peony from coming in, he kept holding back his strength to not let himself stare at her, and said with a smile: "Tonight, let's wait for the rabbit and catch the turtle in the urn." He smiled naturally, but he knew how hard it took him to keep his voice from trembling.

Peony hurriedly got up to pour tea, and didn't dare to look back and say, "Have you eaten?" I asked Yuhe to make a supper. ”

Da Lang glanced at Li Xun, thinking that it was really uncomfortable for the two of them to sit like this, so he said, "Go ahead." ”

Peony took the opportunity to walk out, Li Xun withdrew his gaze from her without a trace, looked at Wulang with a smile and said, "Fifth brother, let the night watchman withdraw." ”

Gorou smiled, "What the hell are you up to?" ”

Li Xun said: "The defense is so tight, they don't dare to come, it's not easy for us to do it, my father has already arranged it, just wait for us here." This guy who doesn't know what to do and who is fighting for the tiger is going to tell them to go and never return tonight! ”

Gorou said: "Since you have already arranged it, just let you arrange it." ”

When Peony, Yuhe, and Aunt Feng went to the kitchen to get steamed Hu cakes and sent them over, only Li Xun and Liulang were in the room, but Dalang and Wulang went outside to arrange them. Liulang blinked, grabbed a steamed cake and said, "I'll go see the eldest brother." Without saying anything, he walked away.

Peony was silent for a moment, laughed, handed the broth to Li Xun, and said in a relaxed tone: "Cousin, eat it." Eat more, and when you're full, you have the strength to help. I also said that I don't need your help, but I still work for you to make this trip. ”

Li Xun saw that she was smiling as if she was fine, thinking of the words of Wulang that she heard when she came just now, her heart was stuffy and panicked, and she had the heart to ask her a few words, and glanced at Aunt Feng and Yuhe, who were staring at her, and Yuhe, who was full of awkwardness, finally sighed secretly, and said with a forced smile: "I'm really afraid that you won't want me to help from now on." ”

Peony listened to his pun, his smile was a little reluctant, Aunt Feng coughed, and said with a smile: "Danniang, it's not too early, it's time for you to rest, there are old slaves here to serve, keep them all well-fed, you can rest assured." ”

Peony had no choice but to salute Li Xun and said, "Then I'll go and rest first, if you need anything, just talk to Aunt Feng." ”

Li Xun hurriedly put down the soup bowl in his hand, glanced at her deeply, and said in a deep voice: "You go to rest in peace, everything has us." He said that, but secretly laughed at himself once, this time he helped her again, so what about the future? I'm afraid that he is less and less needed by her side. In a moment of melancholy, Aunt Feng stuffed a large hot steamed hu into his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Cousin, eat more!" ”

Li Xun had no choice but to bury his head in the struggle with steamed hu and broth.

When he went out, Yuhe was silent and lit the lantern and led the peony back to the room. Peony silently grabbed her arm, rested her head lightly on her head, and called softly: "Yuhe." ”

Yuhe said "hey" and waited for her to speak, but Peony was silent again. It wasn't until Peony lay down that she put down the tent for Peony, and Peony looked at her with bright eyes and said in a low voice: "You said that if I tell them that I don't want to marry, will they be angry with me?" ”

Yuhe panicked when he heard this, and said, "How can you think that? You are at the age of flowers, is it possible to die alone? It's a tyrannical thing! ”

"It's still tyrannical! You can really say that. Peony burst out laughing, and waved his hand to stop Yuhe's next series of persuasive words: "I'm just talking, I don't want to be a stepmother." ”

Yuhe said angrily: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, who in the family is willing to force you?" There's no reason to say such things, and it's scared to death. ”

Peony laughed and said: "Don't worry, even if I don't marry in my lifetime, I won't hold you back and let you accompany me for the rest of my generation." ”

Yuhe blushed and glared at her with disgust: "What are you talking about!" She blew out the candle with a snort, ignored Peony's call to her, and went to lie down outside.

No matter what others think, she will never wronged herself for marrying an inexplicable person. Peony turned over a few times, couldn't stand the tiredness, and slept quietly. At the fourth watch, there was a commotion outside, saying that the thief had been caught. Peony was about to get up to look, but was blocked by Aunt Feng: "If you really want to know, when the old slave goes to inquire, what are you going to do outside in the middle of the night?" ”

Peony had no choice but to let her inquire. After about a stick of incense, Aunt Feng came back and said lightly: "It's just a few little thieves, and there are flints, fire sickles and oil from their bodies." Sure enough, they wanted to mix in and burn our wood, Da Lang, they arranged it properly, and they came to catch turtles in an urn, and everyone got the stolen goods! It is now under trial, and it is said that it will be sent to King Ning's Mansion at dawn. ”

It was easy to stay up until the sky was bright, Peony pressed Aunt Feng, who had stayed up all night, to lie down and rest, and she and Yuhe went to the kitchen to arrange breakfast. When I went to call Da Lang and others to eat, I didn't hear any sound outside the house, and I opened the curtain to take a look, but I saw a few people lying crookedly on the couch and rope bed, and they were all asleep.

Peony was about to withdraw, when she suddenly saw Li Xun leaning on the rope bed suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her fixedly. Peony's heart jumped, and she quickly retracted her head. Only then did he turn around, the curtain was lifted, and Li Xun followed quickly, and said softly: "Danniang!" Are you determined to hide as soon as you see me? ”

Seeing this, Yuhe stared at the tips of his shoes, and little by little he stepped aside to stand, pretending not to see anything and hear nothing.

Peony was silent for a moment, looked back at Li Xun and smiled slightly: "Cousin told a joke, how could I hide as soon as I see you?" ”

Li Xun saw her green jade hands held alternately on her chest, and he wanted to grasp it and let her listen to him, but he didn't dare, he was afraid that he would never be able to get close to her again. He clenched and relaxed his fists in his sleeve, relaxed and clenched, and finally calmed the waves in his heart, and smiled: "It's okay if it's not." Even if it's ...... That, anyway, you know, others are others, and I am me. Seeing that Peony didn't have any special expression, he said a little incoherently: "I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have said those words to you, let's still be like before, don't you deliberately avoid me, okay?" ”

Peony thought to herself, what has been said, how can it be that it has not been said? What has happened, how can it be that it hasn't happened? She thought so, but everyone didn't see it that way. Look, didn't Da Lang just lift the curtain and poke his head out, and the fox looked at the two of them dissatisfied? Peony quickly shouted: "Big brother." ”

Li Xun was startled, quickly adjusted his expression, and calmly looked back at Da Lang and smiled slightly: "Big brother, I was telling Danniang that those people have confessed, and after we get this matter done this time, no one will dare to make trouble in this area." ”

Da Lang didn't poke him either, and said with a smile: "It's really hard work this time." He looked back at Peony and said, "Danniang!" Would you like to go see breakfast? I have to go back early. ”

Peony hurriedly said: "I'm here to ask you to eat." After eating, take a rest before leaving, right? ”

Li Xun said: "No, I have to go back as soon as possible to make arrangements." ”

Da Lang turned around and shouted, Goro and Rokuro came out rubbing their eyes, and several people ate breakfast with a smile. Still guarded by Gorou on the construction site, Peony returned to the city with Dalang and others. Li Xun ordered the men to be tied behind the horses, dragged them in front of the farmers and workers, and the group staggered back to the city.

There are always bankers who stop curiously, stare at those people, whisper, and ask directly what this is about? Li Xun said loudly that these people were doing bad things in the name of King Ning's mansion, and he came to arrest these people on the order of King Ning, and now they were going to be sent back to His Royal Highness King Ning for disposal. Let's see who will dare to do bad things in the name of Ning Wangfu in the future.

Peony saw the awe-inspiring expressions of all the villagers, and couldn't help but think that although King Ning wanted to be famous, he would definitely not allow these little shrimps to harm him, but Li Xun shouted like this, so everyone knew it, why didn't he support her? From now on, I'm afraid that this piece will not be easy for people to come to her trouble. She's so!

The group returned to the city, Da Lang and Li Xun sent people to Ning Wang's Mansion, and Peony and Liulang went home to listen to the news. At noon, Da Lang came back happily and said: "His Royal Highness King Ning is furious, he has dealt with those people severely, and ordered someone to tie up the steward of the village to ask for the guilt, not only the steward of the village, but even the chief steward of the village has also been convicted. Danniang, no one should dare to go to your village to find trouble in the future. ”

Peony frowned and said, "Didn't you say that Steward Deng is the nephew of the chief manager of the palace?" Cousins, will they offend people because of this? ”

Da Lang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Shouldn't it?" Everyone has stolen money, and even if he wants to, he can't do it. Besides, my cousin is amazing, he has his own number. Where can the chief manager compare with him? His Royal Highness King Ning also said that if all the people under him acted like these foxes, fake tigers, and dogs and powerful slaves, no matter how good his reputation was, it would not be corrupt enough. ”

Xue Shi smiled: "Have you seen His Royal Highness King Ning with your own eyes?" ”

Da Lang smiled: "That's nature. I didn't expect it either, but my cousin told me to go in, and I went in. He asked me about the situation, and then reassured me a few more words. If you want me to say, this prince has nothing to fear, he has a good temper, and he speaks well, and he is much calmer than those people in the palace. ”

Peony is curious now, why is Steward Deng so difficult to get along with her?

In the evening, Li Xun, who came to make a summary and report the situation, finally reported the specific situation he had received. But someone instigated Na Deng to take care of things, saying that he was willing to buy Fangyuan at a high price, as long as he could get it, he must. The man who went to fetch the steward of Deng took out ten taels of gold from his room, which was said to be a deposit.

Peony smiled bitterly, she didn't need to ask her to know who that person was, and she had a deep hatred with her, who else could she have wanted to get along with her several times?

Sure enough, Li Xun glanced at her and said, "It seems to mean that someone fell off the horse, although he has not yet recovered, but he must be lame, and he will be furious all day long, so someone will go to tell her that my aunt's ball skills and equestrian skills are very good, if my aunt and they play ball together that time, she will definitely not have this kind of thing." It's just that for some reason, this account was calculated on Danniang's head again. However, His Royal Highness King Ning had already sent someone to King Wei's Mansion, thinking that she would restrain herself in the future. ”

Peony frowned and said, "Who told her this?" "She was really lying down and getting shot.
