Chapter 13: Change
Taking the ginseng tea handed over by Qiushuang, Baili Lan sighed helplessly and said, "Among these four girls, you are the stupidest, and you can't even see such a simple thing." You said that He Che has already shown that it is obvious, what do you mean, give him an answer, don't keep hanging on other people's appetites like this. ”
"Where does the slave have an appetite for hanging, it's obvious that guy is always pestering me!" Xia Yu pouted and said, "Niangniang, why are you like everyone else, and you also match the two of us, are you willing to give the slave to that guy?" ”
"What, do you think He Che is not worthy of you? I heard the emperor say, He Che has been promoted recently, and he has become the chief of the guard, which is a five-grade one, and there is nothing wrong with you, a female official in the seven-rank palace. Gently sipping the ginseng tea, Baili Lan felt that there was no taste, so she put it aside, too lazy to touch it again.
"Niangniang, this has nothing to do with how big an official he is, it's that guy's flamboyant, I don't like it." Xia Yu frowned, as if she was very dissatisfied, and said, "The slaves and maids don't know when He Che is telling the truth and when he is lying. I don't even have trust, how can such a guy like it. Niangniang also loves slaves and maids very much on weekdays, why do you have fun with slaves and maids like others in this matter! ”
Looking at Qiu Shuang and smiling, Bai Lilan changed her lying posture and asked, "Could it be that He Che is such an image in your heart?" ”
"Or else?" Xia Yu said indignantly, "He always made fun of the slave and the maid before, and played tricks on the slave and the maid. Now that you are the queen, he knows how to be more restrained, and he does not dare to blatantly bully me, but he has changed his method, always pretending to say something sensual affectionately, so that others can see my jokes. This He Che is really hateful, I have never provoked him, he is good, he always bullies me! When I find a chance, I will definitely ask for it all back! ”
Looking at Xia Yu's hateful appearance, it really seemed like he had been wronged, which made Baili Lan wonder, how did He Che get along with Xia Yu in private, and how did he fall in love with them for a long time?
Bai Lilan wanted to know, and He Che wanted to grab Xia Yu and ask carefully, obviously it was a lot of affectionate confessions, why could she see the flamboyant tongue? ? Who is he going to reason with!
Sitting next to Baili Lan, Nangong Jingchen peeled grapes for Bai Li Lan and said with a smile: "It seems that Xia Yu doesn't like your hippie smiling face on weekdays, so you pretend to be deep and show her, I don't believe it, the people around me can't even recover a little girl." ”
Opened his lips and swallowed the grapes handed over by Nangong Jingchen, Baili Lan stroked his solitude and said, "It's really hard to say about this emotional matter. But now that you know how Xia Yu sees you, you can think of countermeasures, otherwise you can only watch Xia Yu get farther and farther away from you, and finally throw yourself into the arms of others, looking for a stable support. ”
After thinking about it carefully, He Che knelt in front of Nangong Jingchen, and said with a negative fist: "Your Majesty, He Che has a reluctant request, and I hope that the emperor can fulfill his subordinates!" ”
Glancing at Baili Lan, Nangong Jingchen suddenly felt that things had become interesting.
The next day, after Xia Yu listened to Baili Lan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in hindsight: "What, He Che invited himself to guard outside the fortress!?" What does that guy think, does he think the days are too leisurely? ”
"Yes, he just felt that his days were too leisurely, so he went to the outside to endure hardships," Bai Lilan secretly observed the change in Xia Yu's expression, and said, "Because someone said that he was too exaggerated and impetuous, and he couldn't be convincing, so he wanted to train himself in such a way." You think he's stupid, don't you? ”
"Not really!" Xia Yu said angrily, "It's so far away, the environment is bad, and there are many murderers, he came up with such a bad idea because he had a bad brain!" He's really stupid, doesn't he just say a few words about him, and he really cares about it. When the masters taught him, I didn't see him so attentive. Who said about him, he took it to heart like this? ”
Xia Yu only complained, not realizing at all that she guessed that she was the one behind the scenes, which made Bai Lilan speechless, and at the same time, He Che's sacrifice felt worthless, because this stupid girl didn't realize how much influence she had on He Che. In this way, I am embarrassed to admit that Xia Yu is my own person! Hey, poor Ho Che......
Over there, Xia Yu was still looking at the desktop, his expression was entangled, and he was still guessing in his heart who was the "murderer".
Looking at Xia Yu's appearance of going around and around, the autumn frost was attached to Baili Lan's ears, and she couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Niangniang, why don't we tell Xia Yu the truth, the slave girl looks at her like this, I'm afraid she can't figure it out." ”
"If you say it, He Che's efforts will be in vain. Let's let it go first, Xia Yu can't always be confused like this, if you want their relationship to blossom and bear fruit, Xia Yu always has to grow. Don't worry about this matter, Mr. Qingfeng will come to the palace as a guest in a few days, you have to prepare in many ways, don't let this famous guest think that we have neglected him. ”
"Yes!"
***
The waves are rolling ahead, and the occasional petrel falls and soars past. By the river, two people walked along the river, looking around from time to time, as if looking for something.
Hong Yan suddenly stopped, pointed to the embankment under his feet, and said, "After we climbed ashore that day, we were separated here. ”
Looking at the washed away mud and sand under his feet, Yin He asked in a deep voice, "Where did you and your father and brother originally plan to go?" ”
"Qingcheng not far from here. My dad has a good friend there, and we're going to go to him. Brother Yin, do you think that your father and brother have gone to Qingcheng? ”
"As things stand, that's the most likely." Yin He stopped a passer-by and asked where to rent a car nearby.
"Rent a car to go to Qingcheng, that doesn't seem to be there. We are a small place, and we don't have a branch, let alone in Qingcheng. However, we do have three stores where we can send customers on a long trip. If you go to Qingcheng, it is estimated that three coins of silver are enough. ”
"Trouble the old man to tell us, which three shops are okay?" Feeling that he saw the dawn of hope, Hongyan asked anxiously.
The old man was also a real person, not only told them where the three shops were, but also told them who was cheaper, whose boss was real, and whose car was more comfortable, so that Yin He almost couldn't hold back his irritable temper, and covered his mouth so that he couldn't make a sound.
Hongyan's father and brother are both from rich and noble families, and they are weak scholars, so they will naturally have a slow journey when they travel long distances. In order to save money, they might have endured it and walked away. But now that they have lost their relatives, they naturally have to hurry up to Qingcheng and find friends to help find them. Therefore, as long as you find the news of Hongyan's father and brother in those three shops, you can find their traces.
It's just that she went to the first two stores and didn't find anything, which made Hongyan very frustrated, she didn't even dare to go to the third store to ask, for fear that there would still be no news, and even her last hope would disappear.
Looking at Hongyan, who was suddenly standing outside the door and no longer moving, Yin He asked, "What's wrong, why don't you go in?" ”
"I'm afraid," Hong Yan muttered softly, looking pitiful and helpless, making people feel pity, "I'm afraid that there is still no news of my father and brother here, what should I do?" ”
Lowering his eyelashes slightly, Yin He said in a deep voice: "If you don't go, you won't have a chance to find them." Don't be afraid, I'm still here. ”
Hearing this, Hong Yan suddenly shed two lines of tears, she looked at Yin He, as if looking at an unattainable dream, and said with tears: "Brother Yin, how good would it be if we didn't meet again on such an occasion?" You already have Sister Chunfeng, and I am no longer a proud official lady, the sea has changed, probably talking about us. It seems that sometimes, reunion is not necessarily a good thing, and sometimes it only adds to the sadness. ”
Hongyan said that "the sea changes", Yin He was deeply touched. They are all people whose country is ruined, and no matter how stable and prosperous the world is, they cannot find a place to stay. The more lively the world, the more lonely they will feel, and this feeling of disappointment and frustration will not be understood by the spring breeze. Sighing deeply, Yin He said, "Don't think about it anymore, the days still have to look forward." Let's go in, maybe the news of your father and brother is inside. ”
Wiping his cheeks, Hong Yan burst into tears, nodded and said, "Well, where Brother Yin is, I'm not afraid!" ”
The two encouraged each other, walked into this last store, and with infinite hope, reported the names of Hongyan's father and brother to the shopkeeper.
"The surname is Wu," Xiao Er flipped through the pages one by one, and with his movements, Hong Yan's heart rose to his throat, and his palms couldn't help grabbing Yin He, his expression was nervous, and his eyes were staring at Xiao Er with a wrong look. And looking at Hongyan's nervous appearance, Yin He couldn't push her away, so he could only endure it and wait for the shopkeeper to announce the final answer.
"Oh, there's a guy surnamed Wu here, girl, look at it, is it the person you're looking for?"
Hearing this, Hong Yan hurriedly looked over, and after seeing the name on it, he excitedly held Yin He's hand and shouted: "It's my father and brother, it's my father and brother!" ”
Hearing such an answer, Yin He also smiled slightly, looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "That's very good." Little Er, how long have they been on their way? ”
"It's been two days. It is estimated that it has now arrived in Qingcheng. ”
After thanking the shopkeeper, Yin He looked at the crying and laughing Hongyan opposite and said, "It seems that your father and brother have defected to their old friends." Now as long as you rush to Qingcheng, you should find them. ”
After listening to Yin He's words, Hong Yan gradually stopped moving, looked at the man opposite in a daze, and muttered, "Brother Yin, you smiled at me!" ”
