Chapter 198: Recovery (5K)
Seeing that the eldest prince had already walked to the door, he paused, and the little servant Zhou Xianbai immediately followed, and asked with a smile: "Eldest prince, why don't you leave?" ”
Zhou Huaixuan turned his head and silently looked in the direction of Sheng Siyan and Sheng Qiye.
Sheng Siyan had no intention of leaving, she was climbing the wooden fence, and wanted to talk to Sheng Qiye, but Sheng Qiye kept giving her a look and asked her to look behind her.
Sheng Siyan was inexplicable, she knew that Zhou Huaixuan was out, and she didn't care, and said in a low voice: "Dad, are you cold here?" Do you usually eat well? Can I bring you food every day? ”
Sheng Qiye hurriedly said: "No, no, no! I had a great stay here. Lord Wang is strict, so you don't want to make extraneous branches, and send things again. As he spoke, he winked at her vigorously.
"Not leaving?" Zhou Huaixuan's displeased voice came from behind.
Sheng Siyan's body stiffened.
She obviously saw the other party go out?
Why are you still here!
actually urged her......
Sheng Siyan bit his lower lip, "Dad, then I'll go back first." I'll tell my mother that you're all right. ”
"Uh-huh, go ahead, go ahead. This child, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, makes people anxious. Don't go yet! Sheng Qiye was in a good mood and said with a smile.
Sheng Siyan smiled reluctantly and turned to leave.
Zhou Huaixuan saw her coming, and then turned around and strode away.
Coming out of the cell of Dali Temple and standing in the sun, Sheng Siyan breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the warm feeling of the sun kissing his skin.
“…… Wait for me later. Zhou Huaixuan squinted at her and said solemnly.
Sheng Siyan opened her eyes and looked up at Zhou Huaixuan quietly, the colorful sunlight reflected in her black phoenix eyes, blurry and moving.
Zhou Xianbai saw that the two of them were staring at each other, looking anxious, and jumped over and said: "What our eldest son means is that when you go to a place like Dali Temple, you must be accompanied by our eldest son." Otherwise, if you come to this kind of place from a girl's family, you won't know if you have suffered a loss. ”
Sheng Siyan let out an "oh", blinked, and whispered, "I brought the soldiers of the Divine General's Mansion with me." ”
Zhou Huaixuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her condescendingly.
Zhou Xianbai turned his head and explained to Zhou Huaixuan again, "What Miss Sheng means is that she will be fine, because she has brought the soldiers of our Divine General's Mansion with her. Naturally, everything was prepared. ”
Zhou Huaixuan and Sheng Siyan glared at him together.
"Shut up." Zhou Huaixuan kicked him lightly and pushed him aside.
Sheng Siyan smiled, turned around naturally, and walked side by side with Zhou Huaixuan.
The two went to the big car of the Shengguo Mansion together.
Sheng Siyan got into the car with the support of her mother-in-law, and Zhou Huaixuan got on the horse and followed the car.
The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and they were very silent.
But time seems to fly by.
It didn't take long to arrive at the gate of the Shengguo Mansion.
Sheng Siyan came back from his contemplation and blurted out: "It's ...... so soon"
Zhou Huaixuan, who was outside the carriage, heard this, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, the cold air was exhausted, and the corners of Zhou Xianbai's mouth twitched, and secretly said Prince, you are finished, don't resist stubbornly, hurry back to Shenjiang's Mansion to find the old man to propose marriage......
The group returned to the Shengguo Mansion, and Sheng Siyan first went to call back to the Wang family, reassuring her, saying that Sheng Qiye was all right in prison, and he would have to live in Dali Temple for a few days for the time being, because Lord Wang and General Zhou Xiao both said that the prison in Dali Temple was still safer, and there were still some things to do outside.
When Wang heard this, his heart was half relieved, and there was an unexpected joy. - She didn't expect that Zhou Huaixuan would actually chase him to the cell of Dali Temple......
"Siyan, thank you General Zhou Xiao on my behalf. People are guests, don't snub them. You can leave the affairs of the family to Mu Hibiscus and Yu Gui to take care of, spend more time with General Zhou Xiao, talk, and ask him what he likes to do, what kind of food he eats, and what colors and styles of clothes he wears......" Wang said with a smile, and winked at Sheng Siyan.
Sheng Siyan smiled, "Mother, don't think about it." I will accompany General Zhou Xiao well. ”
"Go, go, go." Wang waved his hand.
Sheng Siyan smiled and left.
Returning to her Wo Mei Xuan, as soon as she entered the door, Yi Ren stepped forward and whispered: "Big girl, General Zhou Xiao sent a message to come in, saying that there is something to discuss with the big girl." ”
Zhou Huaixuan went to the outer courtyard of the Sheng Guo Mansion, and Sheng Siyan was about to go to the outer courtyard to reconcile with the steward, and said busily: "I'll go over now." ”
She didn't have time to change her clothes, so she hurriedly sat in a small sedan chair and came to the place where Zhou Huaixuan was staying in the outer courtyard.
This is one of the best guest houses in the outer courtyard of the Shengguo Mansion.
Inside the guest house is a small two-story wooden building.
The black roof has a porch painted with tung oil, and a few iron horses hang under the porch.
As soon as the wind blew, the iron horse clanged.
Zhou Huaixuan was wearing a white fox coat and stood under the porch to look at her.
There was still white snow around the courtyard, and the snow was reflected in his white fox coat, so that people couldn't open their eyes.
Sheng Siyan narrowed his eyes, slowly approached the front, and curtsied, "Brother Zhou." ”
When there were no outsiders, Sheng Siyan always called him "Brother Zhou".
Zhou Huaixuan nodded, "Come in and talk." With that, he turned and went in.
Sheng Siyan had an embarrassing feeling that he was a guest at someone else's house.
She silently followed Zhou Huaixuan into the house.
Although it was her own home, Zhou Huaixuan first pointed to a location and said to her, "Sit." ”
Sheng Siyan smiled: "Brother Zhou also sits." ”
Zhou Huaixuan nodded and sat down with her.
The mother-in-law who was waiting in this guest house brought two cups of hot tea.
Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan each held a cup in their hands.
Zhou Huaixuan didn't drink the tea, just opened it and looked at it, then put it on the table and asked Sheng Siyan: "How do you want to get back your Sheng family's things?" ”
Sheng Siyan frowned, remembering that those subordinates were all killed by the people of the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion, and only their written confessions worked, I don't know if it works, and I want to say it, but seeing Zhou Huaixuan's concerned look, she was a little speechless.
“…… There is no proof of death. Sheng Siyan said with some hesitation, not wanting to cause any more trouble to Zhou Huaixuan.
For the sake of their family, Zhou Huaixuan has already offended the Queen Mother!
Zhou Huaixuan frowned, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Sheng Siyan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head. - Zhou Huaixuan's keen intuition......
Zhou Xianbai was also very anxious next to him, and hurriedly said: "Sheng Da girl, you can't say that." Those people forcibly seized the things of the Shengguo Mansion, and it is reasonable! With our Divine General's Mansion coming forward, if we still cheap them in vain, it will really slap our Divine General's Mansion in the face! ”
Sheng Siyan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was right, why should those people be cheaper?
It's obviously their family's thing, and those people are still reasonable in calculating them!
Of course, more importantly, she can't let Brother Zhou lose face!
Sheng Siyan came up and asked Zhou Huaixuan, "Brother Zhou, do you really want to help us get back the Sheng family's things?" ”
"Of course." Zhou Huaixuan said lightly, but then said, "What do you want to do?" ”
"I have a solution. However, Brother Zhou needs to cooperate. Sheng Siyan smiled and blinked, a pair of water-cut eyes rippled, and he kept seeing Zhou Huaixuan's heart.
"Uh-huh——?" Zhou Huaixuan looked at her sideways, only her reflection in his eyes.
Sheng Siyan thought for a while and said, "I've checked carefully." Judging from the confessions of these people, most of our family's things flow to the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion. But there are also a small part that were squandered and spoiled by Tu Dalang and Tu Daya. Many of the pawnshops, silver houses, and shops in the city had received antiques from these two men, as well as other things from their storehouses. ”
Zhou Huaixuan nodded and motioned for her to continue.
He stared intently at her cherry blossom lips opening and closing, his throat tightening......
Sheng Siyan continued: "I'm asking the steward to sort out a list of missing belongings. When this list comes out, I think Brother Zhou will help me put up another notice, so that the merchants in the mansions will take the initiative to return the property looted from the Sheng family. Let's just say we have the evidence. If it is automatically returned, we are not to blame for the past. If someone reports it, cough cough, we'll see you in court. ”
That's a good idea.
It is indeed a good plan to give the other party leeway, and to recover what he lost.
The notice said that there will be a reward for reporting, which will dispel the luck of most people.
Anyone who harbors the Sheng family's belongings will worry about being reported.
There are even people who take advantage of this opportunity to deliberately report people who have an enmity with them.
You have to do something when you have nothing to do, let alone someone who doesn't have clean hands in the first place.
"In this way, we don't need to list the lost property list to the court, so as not to make people look at the list and covet it." Sheng Siyan said implicitly.
Zhou Huaixuan nodded, "Not bad." However, there is one more more. ”
"Add what?"
"If you don't return it within the time limit, the sergeant of the Divine General's Mansion will come to check it."
Sheng Siyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "That's a really good idea." It's a salute before a soldier. They won't dare to steal my things anymore......"
"That's nature! As soon as our God General's Mansion Raider team is dispatched, it will definitely be invincible! Zhou Xianbai rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to do a big job.
If you don't return something, you will raid your home!
Who would dare to hide the Sheng family's things?!
Sheng Siyan jumped up.
Zhou Huaixuan also nodded, "If there are still hidden ones that are not returned, they will all ask for money and not die." Then it will have to be done to them. ”
Fulfill those who want money and don't want to die......
Sheng Siyan lowered his head and smiled.
After the past few months, Sheng Siyan felt that his heart was much more ruthless, and his compassion was not as overflowing as before.
"So we need Brother Zhou to support us. Otherwise, relying on us alone will be powerless. Sheng Siyan said with emotion.
Although they are both Guogong Mansions, their Sheng family is far from being comparable to the Zhou family of the Divine General's Mansion.
Thinking like this, Sheng Siyan couldn't help but move to Zhou Huaixuan's side again, and whispered: "But this notice still has to pass through Dali Temple, right?" Copying the house or something...... "Without the endorsement of Dali Temple, it is always unknown."
Zhou Huaixuan was listening solemnly before, but the longer he sat with Sheng Siyan, the more obvious the sweet fragrance became, tempting Zhou Huaixuan desperately, and he was completely absent-minded.
Seeing that he couldn't help it, Zhou Huaixuan stood up suddenly, "I'm going to let someone post a notice, you go back." ”
didn't look at Sheng Siyan, so he quickly left the room and walked outside the courtyard.
Standing up abruptly like this, the tone of the hard voice is really very different from the attitude just now.
Sheng Siyan was a little overwhelmed.
She stood up and looked at Zhou Huaixuan's back as he strode away, a little puzzled, and a little faintly lost.
"Big girl, let's go back." Barley came over and said.
Sheng Siyan nodded and followed out.
Zhou Xianbai was still waiting at the door, and when he saw her come out, he saluted and said, "Miss Shanda, don't mind." Our eldest son is such a resolute character......"
Sheng Siyan smiled: "I know." I also want to thank you for the Divine Mansion. Without your help, our family would not have been able to escape this time. ”
Zhou Xianbai likes to hear this.
He straightened his chest and said proudly, "That's nature! We're going to be out of the house, so you're waiting at home! ”
Zhou Huaixuan's work is indeed resolute.
He left the Shengguo Mansion, returned to Dali Temple, and said a few words to King Zhiquan of Dali Temple, and then got a pile of notices stamped with the big seal of Dali Temple, and ordered people to post them in the streets and alleys of the capital.
In particular, the mansions, pawnshops, silver buildings, and shops related to the receipt of the Sheng family's property that Sheng Siyan told him had specially ordered people to post notices on the doors of these people's houses.
As soon as the sergeant of the Divine General's Mansion came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the capital.
Everyone already knows about the theft of the Marquis of Changyuan from the Shengguo Mansion.
But looking at the content of this notice, there are still places to post it, not only the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion!
It turns out that there are other families who do the same?!
Forget about pawnshops and silver buildings, anyway, most of the pawnshops and silver buildings are black-hearted, but there are a few Houfu, Earl's Mansion and Shilang's Mansion that look good on weekdays, and they have actually been posted notices!
Tut-tut, I really know people and don't know my heart!
The crowd of onlookers pointed at the gates where the notices had been posted.
"Is it true?"
"Of course. The notice said that there was evidence in hand. Let them return it quickly. If you don't pay it back within the time limit, the team of sergeants from the Divine General's Mansion will come to visit and have a good talk with the head of the house......"
The people who read the notice frowned and said, they all felt very happy.
Most of these people are well-known figures in the capital.
It's just that yesterday I secretly laughed at the Marquis of Changyuan's Mansion for stealing chickens and rice, and today it will be my turn.
This transition from heaven to hell is indeed painful.
As soon as the notice came out, people sent things back to the Shengguo Mansion one after another.
Sheng Siyan was not ambiguous, and ordered the steward to register at the door.
Anyone who sends something back must sign and draw a pledge, indicating the name and number of things sent back, otherwise it will not be clear in the future.
The notices were put up in the morning, and by the afternoon, the flower hall in the inner courtyard of the Shengguo Mansion was already full of things sent back from various mansions, pawnshops, silver buildings, and merchants.
"Big girl, look at this plum bottle." An old steward who was inspecting the lost property sent back made a face and showed Sheng Siyan, "Here, here, and here, it's obviously fake." The plum vase at home was produced in a secret kiln five or six hundred years ago. Such a thousand peaks emerald secret kiln porcelain has long been extinct. But you see that the so-called Qianfeng emerald secret kiln porcelain that has been returned is simply a new product of twenty or thirty years, and where is this emerald color, it is obviously duck feces green! ”
Sheng Siyan was secretly amused in his heart. She remembered that in her previous life, someone would buy an authentic designer bag and then return it with a fake......
It's the same thing.
"That's right...... Who returned it? ”
"I'll see." The old steward picked up the booklet and looked at it, "Xiangyun Pavilion in Dongcheng is a pawnshop. ”
Sheng Siyan smiled, asked his subordinates to take the plum bottle, and followed him to the outer courtyard to find Zhou Huaixuan.
Zhou Huaixuan was staying in the guest house, and by the way, he was reading some books brought from the Divine General's Mansion.
"Brother Zhou." Sheng Siyan knocked lightly on the door.
Zhou Huaixuan raised his head from the book and looked at her inquiringly.
Sheng Siyan walked in, held the plum bottle in his hand, and said to Zhou Huaixuan: "Brother Zhou, someone is fooling us with fakes......
The voice involuntarily lacked a hint of softness.
Zhou Huaixuan got up from behind the bookcase, walked over and looked down at the plum bottle in Sheng Siyan's hand.
"Fake?" He stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers rested on the plum bottle, and the edge of his fingertips was just on the side of Sheng Siyan's right hand.
Zhou Huaixuan's hands were extremely cold, like ice in the harsh winter, but when he touched the fingertips on the side of her right hand, they suddenly became hot like fireworks.
As soon as he got on it, he immediately felt an electric shock tremble between the fingers of the two.
Zhou Huaixuan hadn't felt this kind of warm and fiery feeling for a long time, his eyes became darker, his extremely light lips slowly became ruddy, and his almost transparent face also had a faint blood color.
It was as if the long-dormant immortal had finally woken up, he lowered his eyes and smiled at Sheng Siyan.
Sheng Siyan only felt that his eyes were confused, and his divine light was detached.
Her hand trembled, and the plum bottle fell down with a whizz.
Zhou Xianbai, who was staring at the side, couldn't snatch it, and let the plum bottle fall on the incomparably hard blue jade brick with a clatter, smashing to pieces.
Sheng Siyan's face turned white all of a sudden, and he said regretfully: "...... It's a pity. ”
The plum bottle is broken, what else can she take to claim the real plum bottle back to her home?
"It's cheaper for them...... Sheng Siyan said stupidly, looked at Zhou Huaixuan again, and said angrily: "It's all your ......"
Zhou Huaixuan missed the warmth of his fingertips, stretched out his hand without thinking, covered Sheng Siyan's small hand with his big hand, and shook it heavily, the little hand was as soft as boneless, as if it was going to melt into his hand.
Sheng Siyan's heart jumped, and his cheeks were as red as fire, recovering the color of apples.
She could feel that Zhou Huaixuan's palms were as cold as ice, but they gradually became warm in the tighter and tighter grips, and from warm to hot, and her palms were sweating.
Zhou Xianbai threw himself on the ground, picked up the broken plum bottle, pocketed it in a bag, and shouted, "It's almost a little bit...... You go on...... Go on...... The small one will take the team to retrieve the real plum bottle! As he spoke, he stood up and ran out with his baggage.
"What is he going to do?" Sheng Siyan looked out, quietly withdrew his hand, and didn't look back, "Brother Zhou, continue to read, I'll ...... left" He said, and quickly left the courtyard where Zhou Huaixuan was staying.
Her steps as she left were noticeably lighter.
Zhou Huaixuan looked at Sheng Siyan's departing back expressionlessly, slowly raised the palm that had just held Sheng Siyan's little hand, put it to his lips, and sniffed it gently. - It's that sweet fragrance that has already touched his hands......
