Chapter 65: Self-inflicted, stone-dropped
"Wait a minute!"
Qingyan stopped Jasmine from leaving in time, turned to look at Mama Liu gently, and bowed down.
"Mama's thoughts, Yan'er understands! It's just that Yan'er doesn't have to be so cautious even if she wants to take care of her body, and besides, if my mother is not me, how can I know what I want to do? And the most important thing is that I have a longing in my heart, if I don't know, let alone eat, even if I sleep, it won't be sweet! ”
"But Miss is always working so hard, how can she take care of her body?"
"Mama, look at me, my spirit is excellent, but my body is weaker, and I will make up for it if I eat some good food! Good mama, please! She said and took Mama Liu's hand, pouting and shaking.
"Alas! That's it! Come with you while Mama prepares dinner! ”
"Mama Xie!"
Mama Liu looked at her bright smile, and the last bit of dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared, but when she walked past Jasmine's side, she glared fiercely, causing the latter's body to tremble slightly, and her face turned pale instantly.
"Jasmine, come on!" Seeing this, she hurriedly called, and she had always heard that Mama Liu was extremely strict, but she didn't expect it to be even stricter than she imagined.
Jasmine walked quickly, took a deep breath, and told the news she had found out one by one.
It turned out that Qinglong really went down the mountain after she just left Jinling Temple, and kept a short distance from her all the way, and then she suddenly went up Nanzhu Mountain, but the latter because there was only one carriage in the line, a maid, a grandmother, and a coachman made no one find out the accurate news for her, and she was too confident, thinking that she had not returned home for more than a month, and would inevitably go back directly, so she turned to Nanzhu, and she threw it off invisibly.
Then, after passing by Nanzhu Mountain, Qinglong encountered a group of robbers, who shouted with their mouths open:
"I heard that although this sixth lady of the Hou Mansion is only seven years old, she is extremely smart, not only wrote the recently popular Celestial Empire's "Female Concubine" and "The Legend of Lu Zhen", but also established the first female school, and the foreign family is still the richest man, if she gets her, our brothers will be able to get away for a while!"
"What the eldest brother said is very true, now that these six young ladies are in front of her, you can't let her run away!"
“…………”
Saying that, the group surrounded Qinglong's carriage in the middle, beat the horse, and the sound of the horse's hooves trampling the ground shocked Qinglong's face pale, and his heart was frightened and panicked, but he shouted angrily when he learned that he had received it instead of Qingyan:
"Who are you? I'm the third lady of Qinhou Mansion, not the sixth lady! ”
The robbers were stunned when they heard this, and thought to themselves that they had clearly obtained the letter of approval, Miss Qingliu arrived here at this time today, and kidnapped her, and the Daimyo Jiang Mansion would definitely pay a lot of money to ransom her, how could it be changed to Miss Three now?
"Big brother, what should I do?" One of the bandits was holding a steel knife and licked his lips, in his opinion, what three young ladies and six young ladies, anyway, they are all Miss Houfu, and it is the same for everyone to be captured.
But he didn't know that in his eldest brother's heart, anyone in the Hou Mansion could be provoked, and the people in these three rooms were the least likely to be provoked.
"In my opinion, we haven't seen these three or six young ladies yet, but the age difference is a lot, if the young lady shows her face, let's be sure!"
Qinglong's face immediately changed when he heard this, as the daughter of everyone, how could she appear in front of a gang of robbers? If you are only five or six years old, you will be fine, but you are already eleven years old! But if you don't let them see it, I'm afraid we won't be able to get over today! Thinking of this, she looked at the maid on the side, this was sent by her grandfather, in order to make her suffer some hardships, she was not allowed to take one with her, which made her very depressed in Jinling Temple!
If you look closely, she is about the same age as herself, and it looks a little pleasing to the eye, so why don't you let her come forward instead of herself!
"There you go!"
"Slave-" She bit her lip and wanted to refuse, but when she met Qinglong's fierce gaze, she had to lower her head and stick her head out of the window with red eyes.
The group of robbers instantly turned their eyes full of aggression and scrutiny, causing her to shrink back like a frightened fawn in an instant. But her behavior made the robber leader frown, and there was a shadow of doubt in his heart.
"Have you seen it? Still out of the way? Miss Ben isn't as shameless as that dead girl! Qinglong said viciously, she never thought that there were only three people in her group, and they were following behind Qingyan, and their team was safe and sound, and she would have such a thing!
"I'm afraid Miss won't be able to leave! Take it down for me, go back to the stockade! ”
The leader of the robbers had already suspected them of fraud because the maid's fear did not match Qinglong's audacity, and at this time he listened to the latter's words, and there was almost no suspicion, but just in case he just took down the coachman who was already paralyzed, the carriage was sealed, and then drove the carriage back to the mountain, ignoring Qinglong, who was screaming for it.
And just a quarter of an hour after the group left, Qingyan passed here safely and returned to the Hou Mansion safely!
"Miss, that's the whole thing, the slave maid has already inquired, the reason why the third lady will follow us is because of the third master's order, saying that the Hou Ye let her stay in the temple for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and copy the Buddhist scriptures nine hundred and eighty-one times before she can come back, but the third miss said that she doesn't want to take it down, so she plans to follow us back to the house after entering the city, and the Hou Ye may be able to avoid punishment in front of you! Who thought ......"
"Who would have thought that we would go to Nanzhu Mountain, but there were robbers who specifically targeted us!"
"Exactly! Now the people in the Summer Palace and the third room are saying that the third lady has suffered a crime! Hum! I don't want to think that if she was closer, or friendlier, we might have brought her back! Now that she is unlucky, she complains about us, which is really unreasonable! ”
Qingyan looked at Jasmine's little face flushed, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she thought: After all, I still haven't experienced much, and I don't understand anything!
"Yi Han, Yi Xuan, what do you think?"
"I always feel that things are weird, and I can't tell what's wrong!" Yi Xuan lowered her head in contemplation and frowned.
"What's wrong? It's just lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot! He said with a cold breath.
Jasmine and Yi Xuan were slightly stunned, looking at her puffing out of breath for some reason, and the unfathomable young lady.
"Miss, what are you going to do? Admit it like that? Looking at it with cold determination, since Miss has changed, in her eyes, she is no longer just Miss, but her distressed sister, especially the loneliness and loneliness revealed by Qingyan from time to time, which makes her heartache, and unconsciously, Miss's safety, joy and anger have become her reverse scales, and no one can touch them.
"Originally, I didn't plan to do anything more, after all, I was in love with the passing water, but since he refused to let it go, then I can't sit still! The third lady was robbed on the way back to her house without permission, which is a big deal, you must not take it lightly, go to the Zhizhou Mansion to report, and let Chen Dong warn the people in the city that you must be careful when walking recently, and then go to tell Qing'an the details, how can such a major event be hidden from your grandfather? ”
"Yes! The slave and maid will do it herself! Yi Xuan, you serve the young lady with dinner! Jasmine, go to Changyue Garden, didn't Mama Liu ask you to report safety to Mrs. and Master? ”
With the cold and thunder, Yi Xuan and Jasmine acted quickly, and the green face on the side was a little dumbfounded, when did she already have such majesty?
Mama Liu walked in quickly, followed by the mother-in-law with dinner, four dishes and one soup, and a bowl of medicinal food, the fragrance was fragrant, which made her index finger move, and immediately put down everything, walked quickly to the dining table, and feasted.
Mama Liu watched from the side and nodded with satisfaction, the previous few people's discussions had all been listened to in her ears, not because she had other thoughts in mind, but because she was just a child after all, so she was afraid that there would be something inappropriate, but she didn't expect her to think about it everywhere:
Using the concern between the sisters to make this matter bigger, the third lady will inevitably be discredited even if she returns home safely, and she notified Zhizhou to order a sweep of bandits, and knew that Lord Zhao's corpse was a vegetarian meal, so everyone knew about the robbers outside the city, and under the anger of the public, Lord Zhao was unwilling to contribute, although it may not be completely cleared, but it can make those bandits dare not reappear in a short time; Then inform the Hou Ye of this matter, and the old lady's army, I am afraid that even if the third lady is rescued, she will be sent back to Jinling Temple directly, this time the old lady lost the opportunity, and she can only be unwilling to do this, of course, if she can put down her body and make trouble with the Hou Ye, it will be another matter!
If anyone really thinks of her, what she mentions is just that she is a young girl and lacks what she does, but the ultimate reason is only to care about her cousin, and this lack is not enough!
Peony Garden
The third lady Li Wanru walked back and forth in the hall uneasily, Qing Xuanlei frowned, his face was unprecedentedly ugly, he didn't know until half a quarter of an hour ago that his father had made such a big deal to deal with the six girls in the fourth room, if it succeeded, it would be fine, but the family returned home safely, but the sister took the bag, I really don't understand, that girl just saved the prince's life, and jointly built Yanyou Academy with Jiang Xiren, it is worth his father's care, in his opinion, how smart and capable a woman is? After all, you can't get out of the inner house.
What puzzled him the most was his mother, when his father told her about it before, his eyes were shining, extremely dazzling, and then the six girls returned home, her face was hideous, and her sister was robbed, although she was uneasy, she did not blame her father, which was completely different from his impression of his mother.
"How?"
"I haven't been contacted yet, it seems that I really think of Qingyan, and now I guess I'm trying to find a way to contact the Jiang family and the people in the fourth room!"
"How so?"
Li Wanru sat on the ground when she heard this, tears couldn't stop flowing, and at this moment she was really worried, it was a robber! It was specially found to deal with Qingyan.
"Father, in my opinion, they should have known that they had arrested the wrong person, and they were afraid that you would blame them, so they didn't dare to show up, according to their son's opinion......"
Qing Xuanlei looked at the two people who had lost their sense of proportion due to worry, and stepped forward to remind, but suddenly found that there were a few more figures in the garden.
