Chapter 42: Twists and Turns

As soon as he got into the carriage, Laneige couldn't wait to report to Yan Kaizhi: "Brother, you're late, I just watched a good show." But Yan Kaizhi was obviously not interested in the good drama in her mouth, and Lanzhi was not annoyed, and asked to himself: "Do you remember Song Yu's brother's Yunniang?" ”

Yan Kaizhi, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his sister, frowned and asked, "Did she bully you?" ”

Laneige rolled her eyes, despising her brother's fuss in her heart, always thinking that she would be bullied wherever she went. "Something that has nothing to do with me, she bullied others, but she was taught back."

"What does that mean to me?" Yan Kaizhi's eyebrows trembled, and he sat down again, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Although he only received an idle position in the Terracotta Division, he was free most of the time except for going to order a little bit every day. Not to mention the entire Terracotta Division, even the people in the entire capital know that he is the second prince's person, even if he doesn't attend work one day, someone around the second prince will go to announce it for him. If he is replaced by another son-in-law, giving him such an idle position will definitely be the blessing of his ancestors, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

It stands to reason that such a day is extremely leisurely.

But because many people in the house have taken leave recently, either they are unwell or have something at home, and the originally overcrowded Dongcheng Terracotta Division suddenly became unavailable. He was ordered to patrol the city, but he found trouble in a row, but no one dared to arrest him. Under careful questioning, they all said that they were people around the eldest prince. Since the triumphant return of the second prince, the eldest prince invited himself to the Guoan Temple to pray for the people, because there is very little rain this year, the harvest is not in place all over the country, and some have even begun to have a famine. The emperor was already troubled by this matter, but when he heard the words of his eldest son, he was very touched, so he granted his request and took the lead in clearing the precepts for three days.

Now the emperor is feeling the great prince's great love for the people of Limin, if someone catches him this time, I am afraid that the emperor will not pay attention to it, and naturally no one dares to come forward to touch the mold. But if it is not dealt with, this will be held accountable, and no one in the Dongcheng Terracotta Division will be able to escape the involvement.

Lanzhi didn't know that Yan Kaizhi was entangled in trouble, and seeing that he didn't care about his words, he couldn't help but complain. "Brother, you are a man...... I really don't know how any lady likes you, it's just a stupid piece of wood. ”

If you want to say that Yan Kaizhi doesn't understand the amorous feelings, he often brings all kinds of gadgets to amuse her, but if he understands the amorous customs, no matter who secretly asks someone to hand over a handkerchief sachet, all of them will be returned to him. Mrs. Xingyong Bo held a stack of portraits for him to choose, but he didn't look at them, only said that he didn't have a heart. finally proposed a few ladies, but Mrs. Xingyong immediately lost interest when she heard that her father and brother were in high positions. According to her thoughts, she would rather Yan Kaizhi take a spare job to guard the city in the remote area, rather than wear it in the capital.

Hearing his sister's complaint, Yan Kaizhi opened his eyes and glanced at her puffing appearance. He smiled and pinched her cheek, "It doesn't matter if they like me or not, the important thing is that she has to be good to A-Niang and you." ”

Laneige slapped his forehead with his hand, feeling that he couldn't talk to his brother, "Hey, I won't tell you this." Brother, today I saw an interesting lady in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi. Although it was far away and I couldn't see it clearly, I knew she did it on purpose! ”

"Deliberately what?" Seeing that she was interested, Yan Kaizhi had a good time chatting with her.

"When I was just admiring chrysanthemums in the garden, I was tired of shopping, so I wanted to find a place to sit, and I happened to see Yun Niang and them on the opposite rockery. I didn't like Yun Niang, so I didn't go over to say hello. As a result, I saw a figure emerge from the cave and collided with Yun Niang, and I thought that the little lady was unlucky. But not only did something happen, Yun Niang fell, and the little lady took advantage of the chaos of everyone to turn around and run. Laneige was very excited when he talked about what he had just seen, "Brother, don't you think it's funny, Yun Niang wants to be noble, even I love to take care of it, and now I was actually taught a lesson." ”

Yan Kaizhi didn't know why, and suddenly thought of Shaohua, such an impulsive thing was indeed something that a lady like her would do.

"It's not right to gloat." Yan Kaizhi felt helpless about his sister's excitement.

"I don't." Laneige said innocently, but the smile in her eyes revealed her thoughts. "If I have the chance, I'll bring her to show you."

……

"Fifth lady, what's wrong with you?" Chu He looked worriedly at Shaohua, who was lying on the bed and sick, after returning from the Anqing Hou Mansion, Shaohua looked listless. Wanhua explained that they were good at taking care of them, probably because of the cold. But she probed her forehead, and it was not hot, except for her expression of crying and mourning, she did not find anything wrong with her.

However, the more this is the case, the more worried Chu He becomes, shaking Shaohua and asking: "Wu Niangzi, are you hungry, will I get you a pumpkin sesame ball, you boasted about it delicious last time." Today, Aunt Zhang said that there were two pumpkins hidden in the cellar, which had been boiled in winter, and they were the sweetest at this time. Shaohua shook her head, she was not interested in eating at all now, "Then I'll ask someone to go out and buy you a rose cake, I heard that Mixiangzhai has a new dessert." ”

"Hatsuhe, I don't have an appetite." Shaohua turned over and didn't look at Chu He, she really didn't know how to explain to Chu He that her depression at the moment was not something that food could comfort. So, everything is to blame on her for being too impulsive. If she didn't have a conflict with Song Yun, she wouldn't have run back into the car with a weak heart, and the Ling family wouldn't have to leave so early, and she wouldn't miss the opportunity to meet Yan Kaizhi again.

Although she couldn't think of what she could say to him if she saw him in full view of everyone. But even if you see each other, it's better than being so depressed and irritable now, and you really can't do bad things. When punishing bad people, she didn't see how positive God was, she just taught a small lesson, how did the world come so quickly.

"Wu Niangzi, where is your sachet? Also, I don't think I made this purse. Youhan walked in with a royal blue purse and handed it to Chu He, "Have you ever made such a purse for the fifth lady?" ”

Chu He took it, and looked at it carefully, the handiwork was quite exquisite, but the flowers and plants on the purse were not worn by ordinary ladies, but more like Lang Jun's things. She shook her head, "I haven't done it, where did you come from?" ”

"Just now I went to collect my clothes, and the spring flowers that washed the clothes brought to me, saying that there were silver tickets in it, I don't know if there was any less."

Hearing this, Shaohua sat up, took the purse from Youhan's hand, and opened it to see that there were several silver tickets that had been soaked in water, as well as a yellow cloth. She curiously took out the yellow cloth, which turned out to be a cloth charm, and the back was embroidered with three words in red thread, "Wangjun returns". Shaohua pondered for a while, she had often seen this kind of cloth talisman before, it was nothing more than a peace talisman made by people who went out to fight. As long as you go to the temple to refuel sincerely, you can ask for a cloth charm to return home, and then embroider three words with your own hands, and you must also hide the hair of the person who goes out in the charm. In order to be able to bring home the soul of the owner of the hair, this charm can also bring home the soul of the owner.

However, there was no one around her to go out to fight.

Could it be ...... Shaohua's expression lit up, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he hurriedly grabbed Youhan's hand: "This is caught in When's clothes." ”

Youhan thought for a moment, "It seems to be ...... The day the second young master came back. "The maid who washed the clothes didn't expect it to be Shaohua's, and it might be sent to Taoyuan, and the people over there said that they were wrong and sent it back, so it took a few days.

If that's the day, that's right!

"Heaven really has eyes!" Shaohua smiled and held the purse, thinking that Wanhua was also so careful to hide the handful of hair cut by Fan Erlang, and shouted to Youhan: "Hurry up, go and bring me the needle." ”

Hatsuho and Youhan were also confused by her inexplicable actions, but they still complied with her wishes, took the sewing basket, and took out an embroidery needle for her. I saw Shaohua struggling to hook out a few strands of hair from a crack, she handed the needle to Youhan, put the hair in the palm of her hand like a baby, and tore a few from her head, twisted the hair together, and tied it up with red thread. Then she asked Hatsu to find her a piece of red cloth and carefully wrap her hair.

"Fifth lady, what is this for, what is the use?" Chu He was confused.

"It's okay, it's just that my wish has come true." Shaohua smirked and put the red cloth wrapped in her hair into the sachet she carried with her, and suddenly thought that if she accidentally took Yan Kaizhi's purse by mistake last time, wouldn't her own sachet fall into Yan Kaizhi's hands? There was a concentric knot made by her own hands inside, I don't know if it was discovered by Yan Kaizhi, and suddenly her calm heart became nervous again.

What to do! What to do!

She wrote Xin Zimo, not Li Shaohua, what if Yan Kaizhi found out that she would be suspicious.

Shaohua was in a hurry, forgot to put on his shoes, and wandered around the house. Chu He Youhan watched her wandering around the room alone, so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that Shaohua was possessed by the god in the spell just now, and hesitated to go out and call Ling.

"Fifth lady, the second young master is outside." The little maid's words interrupted Shaohua's thoughts.

Shaohua stopped, calmed down, and wondered in his heart how Li Sinian could find her yard. "Please sit in the pavilion for a while, and I'll go over right away." In view of Yichen's criminal record, Shaohua begged Ling to install a few stone chairs and stone tables in her small courtyard. I didn't expect it, but I really used it. I turned around and saw Chu He Youhan, who was relieved at the same time, "Chu He, you go and make a pot of tea, and by the way, send the pumpkin sesame balls you just said." Youhan, come here and get my hair straight. "I just rolled over a few times in bed, and my hairpins are loose.

By the time she finished dressing up, Hatsuho had already brought all the refreshments.

"Second brother, why do you have time to come to me today." Shao Hualian stepped forward and saluted Li Sinian. It seemed that because he was his brother, Shaohua did not feel embarrassed, and naturally sat on the opposite side of the stone table. Perhaps because she was grateful to Li Sinian for keeping her secret, she felt very kind when she looked at Li Sinian.

"It's the first time I've come back to Biwuxuan." Li Sinian looked at the small courtyard, his eyes fell on Shaohua's flattering smile, and the corners of his mouth raised.

"In this case, do you want me to take the second brother for a walk, and by the way, I can go and see the third sister." Shaohua was about to get up, but was stopped by Li Sinian: "No need, I'm coming to you today." Shaohua was stunned, and saw Li Sinian take a pair of purple pottery from his arms. I just saw it on the road and thought it was interesting, so I bought it. Think it as a thank you for the scriptures. ”

Shaohua was still playing with the pair of Fuwa happily, but as soon as he heard the "scriptures", the smile on his face immediately collapsed. Angrily pushed Fuwa back in front of Li Sinian, "The second brother is really good at being a man, he robbed my things here, and he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha over there, and now I want to use two clay dolls as a return gift." ”

Just because Li Sinian snatched love with a knife, she had to stay up all night again to copy it again, thinking of this, she still had some resentment towards Li Sinian.

Li Sinian thought it was funny, "Then what do you want as a return gift?" Or shall I bring back the scriptures? ”

"No need." Shaohua replied without thinking, and suddenly thought for a while, "Can you give any gift you want?" ”

"Yes." Without waiting for Shaohua's smile to dye his eyes, he said again: "Except for Yan Kaizhi, anything." ”

"How do you know?" Shaohua was taken aback, didn't he see it that day?

Facing Shaohua's guarded eyes, Li Sinian didn't care, and paused, "I saw him yesterday, and he happened to ask me about you." Shaohua was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall off, "He, what did he ask?" Li Sinian looked at Shaohua's rapidly changing expression as if he were flipping through a book, "How did you meet?" ”

Shaohua lowered his head, trying to think about how to answer Li Sinian's question, and only said after a while: "When the eldest brother gets married." ”

Li Sinian suddenly realized, "You were still young at that time. This is possible, if it weren't for this time, it would be difficult for him to think of how Shaohua would know Yan Kaizhi. Obviously, she grew up in Pu'an since she was a child, and she only returned home this year. "You've got a crush on him."

"Second brother, can you not be so surprised, if you have anything to say, I will answer you." Shaohua felt that Li Sinian was an incomparably terrifying existence, how could what she was thinking in her heart be guessed at once, obviously they had only met a few times. If it is said that it is a blood relationship, they are still separated by a few relatives.

"Okay, I'll get it straight." Li Sinian admired Shaohua's straightforwardness, "Yan Kaizhi is not a person who can climb in our family, he may be a good person, and his family background is not high." But he is the second prince's person, and he can't move, even if the second uncle agrees, his grandfather won't agree. Shaohua didn't expect Li Sinian to be so straight to the point, and before she could make any psychological preparations, a sharp knife stabbed her in the chest.

"Why?" If others said so, maybe she didn't care, but Li Sinian's tone made her have to believe it.

"We can't take sides until the crown prince is decided." This is the principle of Li Gelao.

"So, if we don't decide on the prince, we don't have to marry?" Shaohua gambled.

Li Sinian smiled, "That's not it, it's just Yan Kaizhi." "Most of those who went straight to Xingyongbo's Mansion to discuss their relatives only went to look at the second prince's faction, if they want to say that they fancy Yan Kaizhi himself, they have to make some discounts.

In fact, Li Sinian likes this cousin in his heart, so he doesn't want her to be hurt unnecessarily, so he reminds her when he returns the gift. "You're smarter than Sanniang, but don't be delayed by your cleverness." Shaohua was about to refute, but when he shook his head, he was so sad that he didn't know what to say.
