Chapter 146: The Narrow Road (2)
Mo Yan and Qingshu ran out behind Hongfang, seeing that his face was gloomy, neither of them dared to make a sound, and they couldn't tell where Hongfang's anger came from.
Mo Yan whispered to Qingshu to accompany Hongfang out first, and ran to drive by himself, but he still complained in his heart that Shaohua would not come early or late, but he would come at this time. And looking at the ambiguous attitude of Youning and Shaohua, maybe there is something greasy between them, and it is no wonder that the prince will leave without saying a word. You must know how much temper the prince has to hold to endure not turning his face with Youning, although that face is indeed good-looking, no matter how good-looking he is, he is also a man. No, no matter how good you look, you can't be so rude. Mo Yan suddenly felt that You Ning and Shaohua were really a natural pair, specially coming to Qi Hongfang, and they couldn't make him angry in person.
"Lord Shizi, where are we going?" Aoki asked in a whisper.
Hongfang had a gloomy face, and was silent for a long time, and he couldn't tell what he was angry about. Perhaps because of their presumptuous tone, the two sang and harmonized, full of tacit understanding. What's even worse is that Shaohua's attitude obviously treats the General's Mansion as her own, doesn't she like Yan Kaizhi? Hongfang frowned, and thought: Didn't Qingshu say that because of the matter of Doro's envoys, the Li family did not let Shaohua and Yan Kaizhi contact?
In this way, wouldn't he have one less fierce rival?
Hongfang's brows stretched, and when he thought of Youning's maintenance of Shaohua, he condensed again.
Qingshu looked at his master's unpredictable face, and his heart became nervous because he couldn't touch his thoughts, but fortunately, Mo Yan's carriage had already arrived. Qingshu hurriedly reminded Hongfang, "Lord Shizi, the car is here, let's go." Qingshu helped Hongfang to get into the car, but he didn't expect Yan Kaizhi to come on horseback, he stood on the car, looking at him from a distance.
A reined horse, Yan Kaizhi held the reins in his hand and waved at Hongfang, "The prince also came to visit General Xin?" ”
I don't know if he asked it on purpose, or if he forgot it intentionally, Hongfang heard Yan Kaizhi ask this, his face flashed with a trace of displeasure, and he suddenly laughed: "Why is General Yan here, he won't sneak out of the wall, right?" Hongfang is a pun, alluding to the fact that he was suspended by the emperor for investigation.
Yan Kaizhi pretended not to hear, "My father and General Xin are old friends, and it is rare for General Xin to return to Beijing and get the approval of the Holy Lord, so he came to visit." ”
"General Xin, he's not ......" Aoki was about to remind kindly, but Hirokata's voice sounded louder than Aoki's voice: "I see, then I won't bother." He pretended to understand, smiled, and waved at Yan Kaizhi, and even asked the porter to let Yan Kaizhi go.
"Mo Yan, go home!"
The carriage passed by Yan Kaizhi's side and slowly moved forward, and Aoki looked at Hongfang's suddenly happy face in puzzlement.
"You want to ask me why I let Yan Kaizhi in knowing that Xin Maoshan is not there, right?" Hirokata saw Aoki nodding like pounding garlic, and a different smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Guess what's going to happen in a minute?" Qingshu was at a loss for a while, Hongfang was speechless about his incomprehensible feelings, and raised his voice to Mo Yan and ordered: "Mo Yan, send us back to the palace, and you can go back to the general's mansion to inquire about the news." ”
After receiving Mo Yan's promise, Hongfang's face floated with a happy look of watching the play.
……
"How did he get back?" Shaohua sat on the chair, dangling his feet, looking at Youning, who was standing in front of him with a thief smile. "Put this face away for me, it's annoying to look at." Although she is not disgusted with her current appearance, she is not as good-looking as before, and Youning, a big man, looks more beautiful than a woman, which makes Shaohua feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's rare to hear such a sweet brother, today's grievances are worth it." Youning's villain's expression changed Shaohua's eyes to a pair of eyes, and he said indifferently: "But you are really ruthless to him, strictly speaking, he is you...... Sister-in-law's brother-in-law! ”
"That's none of my business." Shaohua spread his hands.
"But what do I think, what is the relationship between you, it seems to be very familiar." Since confessing to Shaohua, it has become more natural for Youning to talk to Shaohua, in order to avoid leaking the tone and reducing the embarrassment of identity, so in terms of title, after all, it is omitted.
In fact, his resistance to Hongfang, in addition to Xin Zimo's death, was that he was afraid that Hongfang and Shaohua would collide, and the clues would be discovered.
It's just that judging from the situation just now, it is obvious that his worries are unnecessary, Shaohua and Hongfang are definitely not the first time they have met, and the two should have intersected. In this way, it made Youning even more curious.
"I don't know him at all, I don't know him at all!" Shaohua simply skimmed it clean.
You Ning jumped up, ran over reluctantly, and rubbed Shaohua's face, "Do you want to say it?" If you don't say it, I'll tell A-Niang. ”
Shaohua was shocked, he didn't expect You Ning to threaten him with this trick, and shouted angrily: "Then you can try it." ”
"Try and ......"
"What are you doing here?"
Before the second trial You Ning could speak, he suddenly heard a low angry shout, and both of them were stunned, and they turned their heads in unison, just in time to see Yan Kai's silent and serious expression. The little guy who led Yan Kaizhi in stepped forward to ask You Ning for advice, and then immediately stepped aside.
Although Yan Kaizhi knew the reason why Hongfang came to the General's Mansion, they had an unpleasant relationship because of Xin Zimo's relationship, so he never expected Hongfang to be so generous and let people lead the way for him. I thought to myself, I can't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Because of the affairs of Doro's envoys, he has been idle by the emperor for a long time, and even Laneige is not allowed to enter the palace. knew that Xin Maoshan and they returned to Beijing, but he couldn't disobey the emperor's order, and it wasn't until Hongyi personally asked for grace for him and lifted the ban that he finally regained his free body.
And the first time he stepped out of the house, he wanted to come to the General's Mansion to visit Xin Maoshan. After ten years, if it weren't for Xin Maoshan's great help, Yan Su's grievances would not have been clarified so easily, and he would not have had such a big life to return to Beijing. Although it was a past that he tried his best to avoid, he should repay the kindness of people with a spring, not to mention that this kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai.
It's just that he didn't expect that Xin Maoshan hadn't seen it yet, and he did see Shaohua and You Ning playing together ambiguously.
Shaohua was startled, and immediately swept away Yu Ning's hand and jumped off the chair, like a child who was making trouble at home and doing bad things met a parent who came back halfway from going out to run errands.
"I'm ......" Shaohua looked at him indifferently, and after glancing at her, he turned to Youning, as if he didn't see her. In Xia Yan Kaizhi, I heard that General Xin had returned to Beijing and came to pay a visit. I don't know if I can report on my behalf. ”
Hearing Yan Kaizhi's self-report, You Ning was also startled, he and Yan Kaizhi hadn't seen each other for ten years, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was the person who made his second sister unforgettable. After a cursory look, I saw that his figure was quite white and straight, obviously a practitioner for many years, with resolute and sharp eyes, and a bright spirit. If it weren't for the moment of shock when he saw them when he first came in, Youning would have been because he didn't know Shaohua. He secretly glanced at Shaohua, and saw that she was like a child who had done something wrong, lowering her head and not daring to speak, and her heart suddenly became clear.
I didn't expect them to know each other, it seems that he missed a lot of good things this year!
"It turned out to be Brother Yan!" You Ning deliberately greeted him affectionately, held Yan Kaizhi's hand, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Yan, do you still remember me, I'm You Ning?" The little boy who followed my second sister back then. ”
Yan Kaizhi glanced at You Ning up and down, and immediately realized, "You Ning? Yan Kaizhi was secretly surprised in his heart, the child who followed Xin Zimo was a boy, and he always thought that Xin Zimo was the third sister. After looking at it again, he saw that his eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to Xin Zimo, so he suddenly opened his mouth. "You've grown so big."
"Hmm!" Youning nodded vigorously. Then he pulled Shaohua over, pushed him in front of Yan Kaizhi, and enthusiastically introduced him: "Brother Yan, let me introduce to you, this is the fifth lady of the Li family, Shaohua." Shaohua was taken aback by You Ning's actions, and was pushed to Yan Kaizhi by him, looking up at him cautiously with a smile on his face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Yan Kaizhi looked at her and nodded. "I know."
You Ning didn't expect Yan Kaizhi to admit so generously, "It turns out that you know each other, that's just right, or ......" Come in and have a cup of tea, talk about the process of your acquaintance, and the little ambiguity between you, how do you know each other, they don't look at each other, and they look like awkward little lovers.
Yan Kaizhi didn't know why You Ning was smiling so badly, he asked, "Isn't your father here?" You Ning shook his head, he paused, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll come back to visit another day." ”
Since Xin Maoshan was not at home, there was no need for him to stay. Yan Kaizhi suddenly understood why Hongfang was so kind to open the way for him, it turned out that he deliberately brought him in, or did he already know that Shaohua was in the Xin family? He frowned slightly, Hongfang met Shaohua at the Xin family, and then left, with his understanding of Shaohua, he thought that Shaohua would not give him a good look.
Could it be that Shaohua deliberately had an intimate and ambiguous relationship with Youning, and was so angry that Hongfang left, so Hongfang wanted to let him in and witness it.
Thinking of this, Yan Kaizhi somewhat understood the posture of You Ning and Shaohua when they just came in. If you look at it like this, you will inevitably think in an ambiguous direction. After listening to Shaohua's confession, even if he didn't mention it, he has always tacitly accepted what he said to Li Sinian, and he also tacitly acquiesced that Shaohua would be the possible person in the future, so when he saw the scene just now, he was so angry that he turned around and left, which is considered his literacy.
Seeing Yan Kaizhi turn around to leave, Shaohua immediately chased after him and blocked his way, "Wait, Yan Kaizhi, you stop for me!" Looking directly at his expressionless face, Shaohua felt a little sad in his heart. You—You've just misunderstood. ”
Yan Kaizhi asked: "What is the misunderstanding?" ”
Shao Hua explained: "You Ning and I, we were talking just now. It was indeed just talking, but she never expected Yan Kaizhi to appear.
Yan Kaizhi nodded, indicating that he understood, "I know, I saw it." "It's one thing to just understand, it's another to understand." You say slowly, I have to go back. ”
Waiting for Yan Kaizhi to pass by her sideways again, Shaohua suddenly asked, "Are you jealous?" She turned around and saw Yan Kaizhi's footsteps paused, and she quickly explained: "Listen to me, I'm just here as a guest, and we're nothing." ”
"I said, I know, I see it." Yan Kaizhi didn't look at her, but when he heard her tone of wanting to cry, the expression on his face was no longer solemn, and his voice was softer.
"But you're angry." Shaohua saw that he didn't look back at all, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
You Ning heard the change in Yan Kaizhi's tone sharply, and he had been watching their good show, and he was a little embarrassed, so he spoke: "Brother Yan, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea before leaving." My dad isn't here, at least I'm here, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”
Yan Kaizhi turned around and hugged You Ning, but still didn't look at Shaohua, "Another day, I still have to go to the Second Prince's Mansion." The corners of his eyes slanted to the expression on her face, and Yan Kaizhi's lips slightly hooked a shallow, unknown arc.
Since Yan Kaizhi said so, You Ning couldn't keep it anymore, so he could only let people send him out again.
When he turned around and saw Shaohua looking like he wanted to cry without tears, he was very proud. It's just that she didn't expect that this smile fell in Shaohua's eyes, but it was not a taste, so angry that she scolded: "Xin Youning! You bastard, I'm not done with you today! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slashed towards Youning.
Fortunately, Yu Ning is agile, not to mention that Xin Zimo was not his opponent back then, let alone Shaohua today. Yu Ning easily dodged Shaohua's moves, and at the same time thought happily: It's better not to pierce it, who made her stupid herself, didn't find out.
