"Childe is polite, I am Ling Chu's sister-in-law." Xiao Wan said, "May I ask if Childe has seen Ling Chu, do you know where he went?" ”

"I met him on the road that day, he said that he had something at home and wanted to return to his hometown immediately, and asked me to take leave from school, and I never saw him again, I thought he had returned to Lizhou." Bi Zhenye replied to them that he was naturally smart, so he asked, "Didn't he go home?" ”

Xiao Wan bowed: "A friend who knows us well sent a letter saying that he had gone home, but we waited for a long time and didn't see him come back, so we found the capital all the way, but we didn't even see anyone." ”

Bi Zhenye saw that this little lady looked elegant and pale, although she spoke and behaved politely, she did not drag those crepe words, and spoke clearly and very refreshingly.

He knew that Ling Chu's brother's name was Ling Chaofeng, and he was the shopkeeper of the Lingxiao Inn in Baisha County, Lizhou Prefecture, and he even knew the people who cooked in the inn, and he also knew that his brother had married a country girl the year before last.

And at this moment, the girl on the side opened her mouth differently, and Lian Yi said politely: "If the prince sees Ling Chu, please tell him, the family is very anxious, we are currently staying in the inn where he once stayed, and we will not leave for four or five days." If you have any news, please take the time to tell you at the inn, we will be grateful. ”

Bi Zhenye felt that this girl was not a scholarly family in the family, and she should be the daughter of a big family, but in the inn he knew, there was no such number one person, what is the relationship between her and Ling Chu? The inn is really magical, how many stories have happened.

The people in Bifu saw the young master talking to strangers, so they came up to ask what was going on, afraid that the young master would be entangled by bad people, Bi Zhenye drank them back, and kindly said to Xiaowan: "I am a classmate with Ling Chu, naturally I can't ignore his affairs, I can make a little effort at home, please rest assured, I will try my best to help find him." If there is any news, you must immediately go to the inn to tell me, if your sister-in-law is inconvenient in Beijing, please don't be polite, you can find me here. ”

"Thank you, Childe." Xiaowan and Lian Yi are very grateful, although they still don't know who this person is.

Bi Zhenye left the school, thinking about Ling all the way, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't even care that his sister was waiting for him in front of the door.

"Brother, are you evil?" Hanxi stepped forward and shook it in front of his eyes, "You can't see me?" ”

"Stinky girl, you can't read me well." Bi Zhenye said angrily, "If you talk nonsense like this, grandma should blame you again." ”

"Yes, you are a jade and you are a treasure, and you can't even say that you are not good, but what about me, my skin is very solid, and I am not honest if I don't fight a few times." Hanxi said unconvinced, "Grandma is just eccentric." ”

Bi Zhenye said with a smile: "Grandma doesn't blame you much lately, doesn't she, and doesn't use family law to scare you." ”

Hanxi said triumphantly: "No, now I have a little secret with my grandmother." ”

As soon as she spoke, she quickly covered her mouth.

Bi Zhenye glanced at her: "What secret?" ”

Han Xi waved his hand again and again: "I didn't say anything, I don't know anything." ”

The little girl ran away with a smoke, Bi Zhenye sighed lightly, but when he saw his family coming to look for him, the master was waiting for him in the study.

In the eyes of his family, the young master is afraid of the master, but in fact, Bi Zhenye is not afraid of his father, he is just very helpless.

Helplessly, he is not capable enough, he can't stand up in front of his father, he only got eleven places in the last exam, he feels that he has lost face, how dare he be presumptuous in front of his father.

"Daddy." Bi Zhenye stood respectfully in the study door.

"Come closer." Prime Minister Bi looked at his son, and said, "Wait a minute, change your clothes, follow me to the general's mansion, General Wei Pingkou has meritorious, the emperor gave the imperial wine, and asked the ministers to go and congratulate." ”

"Yes." Bi Zhenye agreed.

"One more thing." Prime Minister Bi said, "I want you to propose marriage for Hanxi." ”

Bi Zhenye was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at his father: "Propose, to whom?" ”

"Idiot." Bi Chengxiang was angry, "I don't know how to be flexible." ”

"Soar to the guard?" Bi Zhenye unconsciously pronounced this name, but after thinking about it in his mind, he hurriedly said, "Father, Wei Tengfei is already thirty-two years old, and Han Xi is only seventeen years old. ”

Prime Minister Bi frowned: "So what, if the original spouse in the family dies, and the young stepfamily starts, don't say that there is a difference of fifteen years, and there is a difference of fifty years." ”

"Marrying in Sichuan and Chongqing, thousands of miles apart, grandma must not agree." Bi Zhenye also wants to fight for his sister.

"Shut up." Father scolded, "As long as you propose to General Wei at today's party that you want to marry your sister to him, you don't have to worry about anything else." I want you to be like a man, to be decisive in trouble, and not to twist and pinch and make me hate it. ”

Bi Zhenye really didn't twist, and looked at his father: "Hanxi's lifelong event, if my grandmother and mother and Hanxi are there, if Hanxi is willing, Hanxi doesn't nod, I will never open my mouth and never agree, my father just wants to tie her up and marry her, and I will also go and snatch my sister back." ”

The prime minister was furious, rushed forward and raised his hand to slap his son, but his son, who had always been unproductive in his eyes, stared at him fearlessly, the father and son were tense, and Prime Minister Bi went to put down his hand.

He said solemnly: "You don't need to come forward in this matter, but you have to give me a good job, don't meddle in things." The new monarch has been on the throne for two years, and before he knows it, he has finished washing the old cards in the court, and one day I will not be able to protect the black gauze hat on my head, and you will no longer be the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even you yourself are not qualified to test for fame and fortune. Your grandmother, your mother-in-law, and your sister will all go to eat and sleep together. Companion is like a tiger, Bi Zhenye, you are still very tender. ”

The young man pursed his lips, unable to refute his father's words, but he still held back a sentence: "Dad, if you want to marry and consolidate your position, you let me do it, and I am willing to marry the daughter of the prince's palace." Dad, don't force Hanxi, she's not sensible, she'll not figure it out, she's ......"

"Get out." Prime Minister Bi said and turned around.

Bi Zhenye walked a few steps, turned around again, and said, "Ling Chu is missing, does Dad know?" ”

Prime Minister Bi was silent.

"Dad, his family ......"

"Get out!"

The servants outside saw the young master coming out of the study dejectedly, guessing that the young master must have been scolded by the master again, and the subordinates spread the words to the inner courtyard.

The old lady sighed: "Is he going to be the queen of the family?" The small ones don't want to, the big ones don't hurt, and he is not happy to let him have a few more concubines, but he was a concubine who wanted to die or live, in the end, who is he worthy of in this life? It's just that I gave birth to a bastard son, who doesn't stop growing old and deserves retribution. ”

When the old lady said this, Mrs. Bi happened to come with ginseng tea and stood outside the bedroom door and listened to it very clearly.

Yes, more than ten years have passed, and she is still a concubine in the eyes of her mother-in-law, even if she is from the Hou Mansion.

At the beginning, her husband wanted to straighten her up, but the old lady was also reluctant, saying that there is no rule for straightening the concubine, a concubine is a concubine, and the lady of the main room must marry in the media.

Mrs. Bi handed the ginseng tea to her subordinates and brushed her sleeves away.

It's almost twilight, and the capital is still so lively.

On the way back to the inn, Xiaowan bought a big meat bun for her son to eat, and took her son's hand and walked into the store.

A noble lady sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and when she saw them, she hurriedly stood up.

"Xiaowan, you're here......" As soon as the smoke opened, tears fell.

The person in front of him was wearing a blue and gray plain clothes, tied with a blue belt, and on his black hair, only a silver hairpin fixed the bun, his face was pale, his eyebrows were calm, and his body was full of cold breath.

At the beginning, I hurriedly wrapped the mung bean cake in a handkerchief and handed it to her, and gently invited her to eat it on the road, which made people feel warm and energetic at a glance, is it really the person in front of her?

"Mother." Xiaowan took her son and knelt down, Lian Yi remembered that this person had also appeared in the mansion at the beginning, and now that she thinks about it, is it the current queen? She hurriedly knelt down with her.

Ruyan hurriedly stepped forward, helped Xiaowan up, and choked up: "What are you kneeling me doing, Xiaowan, what do you want me to do......"

Her gaze fell on the chubby little guy on the side, who was eating a big meat bun and his mouth was full of oil, and suddenly smiled at her.

This smile is very similar to Xiaowan, but it is like smoke to hear my brother say that this is the child adopted by Xiaowan and Shopkeeper Ling.

Soon, Xiaowan went to the upstairs guest room with the queen, Lian Yi hugged Pei'er, and waited downstairs with Uncle Biao, Uncle Biao sighed: "Miss Meng, I said something inappropriate, I'm afraid that the current emperor knows the whereabouts of Ershan, you see our every move, they all know everything." ”

"What does that mean?" Lian Yi asked, "You mean ......?"

"It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse." Uncle Biao touched his pocket and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but it could be seen that the Ouchi guards and the palace maid and eunuch were standing in the room, and he still gave up.

Upstairs, the good sisters reunited after a long absence, they should have hugged each other and said happy things, listened to them laugh, listened to them cry, but now, it is this bleak situation.

"The little princess must be very cute, but it's a pity that I didn't get a chance to meet her." Xiaowan said, "After finding Ershan, we will go back to Baisha Town." ”

Xiao Wan obviously didn't want to mention those things, and simply said the purpose of their coming to the capital, their eyes were always lowered, and they sat facing each other, but they seemed to be thousands of miles away from the queen.

In fact, she has always understood that she is a country girl, how can she be qualified to be friends and sisters with the queen, that fate comes and goes quickly, but it is just a precious memory hidden in her heart.

You must know that they are thousands of miles apart, and it is difficult for them to meet again, and what friends and sisters do they talk about.

But Yanyan never thought about it that way, she regarded Xiaowan as a real friend and sister, looking forward to every meeting in the future, hoping that she would have a good life, and would be happy for her and sad for her.

"I only know that you were bullied by the villagers, and Shopkeeper Ling burned down Baisha Town in a fit of rage, killing and injuring many people, and he took you away." The queen sobbed softly and choked up, "But I didn't know that Shopkeeper Ling died, I didn't hear my brother say until today, I ......"

"Mother, don't cry." Xiaowan looked like she was crying, she didn't know what to do, she was calm after losing her husband, but the queen cried as if she had killed her husband.

"These days, I always feel sad in my heart for no reason, and I will shed tears before I know it." After Qiyan calmed down, he smiled bitterly, "I thought I had become hypocritical, but I didn't expect it to be true, because you are sad, I am just as sad." ”

Xiaowan shook her head: "Niangniang, I'm not worthy." ”

"They wouldn't tell me what happened, my brother only told me what he saw." Like smoke grabbed Xiaowan's hand and trembled slightly, "But I'm not stupid, I understand...... However, one of them is my brother and the other is my husband, Xiaowan, I don't have the face to see you. ”

"Niangniang, no, this has nothing to do with you, yes, it is my life and that of my father-in-law." Xiaowan was moved after all, and said with tears, "I don't want to blame anyone anymore, I just want people who are still alive to live well, I want to get Ershan back, let him get ahead, and fulfill his brother's wish." ”

"Ershan is gone?" Like smoke felt that he was living a ridiculous life.

This is the sorrow of the women in the deep palace, what the emperor doesn't want her to know, even if the sky falls outside, she won't notice it, she is like a canary who is locked in the Hanyuan Palace, as long as she chirps and screams.

Both of them gradually calmed down, Xiaowan said something, and Yanyan also said what she knew, people can't be resurrected after death, and the most important thing at the moment is to find out Ershan.

"It's not a way for a few of you to ask from door to door." Like a flue, "Brother, he is willing to help, he ......"

The queen paused, her heart tangled and painful. She decided that her brother would never go after and kill the shopkeeper Ling, but did she want to blame everything on the emperor in order to get rid of her brother?

That is his husband, the monarch of Daqi, the helplessness on his shoulders is also very understandable, and she doesn't understand it, but she must stand by her husband's side and share it with him.

"I'll definitely help you find out Ershan." The queen held Xiao Wan's hand tightly, "Xiao Wan, believe me." ”

"...... I really want to go back to the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, I really want to ......" Xiaowan cried, trembling all over, like smoke holding her in her arms, and accompanying her to tears.

This is in the capital, Ling Chaofeng can not only feel Xiaowan's joy and sorrow, but even hear what she said, every word just now was like a knife piercing his heart.

It turned out that he had looked forward to Xiao Wan's growth, how ridiculous it was, if he could, he hoped that Xiao Wan would always be the reckless and impulsive little lady, no matter what she did wrong, he would clean it up, even if she poked a hole in the sky, he would make up for it.

He doesn't want her to grow up late, and he doesn't want her to suffer.

Suddenly, a yin wind blew by, rushing straight to the Qingming Pavilion, Ling Chaofeng flew out, and was just about to start arresting the demon, when a voice came from the sky: "Mocking the wind, don't do it, she is ordered to go down to earth, and it is a robbery with Kandi." ”
