I opened my mouth, but when I saw the beautiful face waiting for a while, I didn't say anything after all, only shook my head gently.

Ah Lan seemed to be planning to stay like this, and there was no mention of leaving. And I naturally can't mention her as my savior, but when she stays at my house, the gossip in the village gradually increases, even if I don't hear much, and the few that are in my ears are not very good.

I'm sure Alan must have heard more than I did, but she didn't react at all, and she ignored the angry glances of the women when she went out.

On this day, the embroidery girls finished the last few pieces of a batch of work, and it was still early, so I simply gave them their vacation and let them go back early to rest, only Rue stayed with me to pick up the embroidery. Before leaving, those embroidery girls all came to say goodbye to me, but Ah Lan, who was sitting next to me, did not take care of anyone.

There was always a little smile on the corner of Ah Lan's mouth.

I didn't say anything, just sighed and went to the yard with Rue Xiang to clean up.

As I was packing up, Rue walked up to me and said softly, "Light, that—that woman, when is she leaving?" ”

I looked up at her, but didn't speak.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that either, but—" She thought for a moment, then looked at the door and closed the room, and said in a low voice: "It's just that several embroidery girls have come to tell me that they want me to pass on a message, and they all want her to leave quickly." ”

I smiled wryly.

Rue Xiang immediately said: "I also heard from the second brother, she is your savior, you can't open this mouth, in fact, if you want me to see, it was not our turn to talk to outsiders when she went or stayed, but-you can also see, these men in the village are not very well-behaved......"

I asked, "Could it be that she is messing with a man from which house?" ”

"Not really."

"Or is she behaving unruly outside?"

"Also...... No. ”

“……”

"It's just that her appearance makes those men look like gluttonous cats."

I smiled more and more bitterly in my heart.

Ah Lan she, except for the day she teased the second brother of the Zhao family, she has not said a word to other men in the village, but she was born like this, and her behavior is also with a sense of charm, the man himself is lustful, so he said that he was seduced, and those women quarreled with their men, and in the end, the biggest grievance was sprinkled on the body of the "fox spirit", as everyone knows, the fox spirit is just born and long, if it is a sin to be looked at a few times, what should people who can't control their eyes?

Listening to my almost harsh words, Rue Xiang didn't speak for a while, and after being silent for a long time, she said softly: "Light, you, do you still mind, when you married the third brother, everyone treated you so much?" ”

"......" I pursed my lips, didn't speak, lowered my head and continued to collect embroidery.

Rue Xiang sighed softly and said, "I also know that it wasn't your fault at the beginning, and now, it's not that girl's fault." It's just—"

“……”

"It's terrible."

I was stunned, raised my head to look at her, Rue Xiang looked at me, and said seriously: "I am also thinking about the embroidery workshop." ”

“……”

At this time, I was a little speechless.

I'm still not mature enough, I have a problem in my heart, and I am easy to be accused of joy and anger, and I don't even want to worry about the mood of the embroidery girls who work for me; On the contrary, it is Ruexiang, which is the second-in-command, but in fact, the capital is not much, but it is wholeheartedly for the sake of the embroidery workshop.

I'm really ashamed of my boss.

Thinking of this, I smiled faintly and said, "I see." You give me a little time. ”

She nodded softly.

The next day, I took the last batch of goods to Qishan Village for delivery, and Ah Lan accompanied me.

When I arrived in Qishan Village, I quickly handed over to the boss over there, and got a commission, and seeing that the time was not early, I simply took Ah Lan to the restaurant in the town to eat, an unprecedented luxury.

Ah Lan sat with me in the private room on the second floor, looking at the dishes that were still exquisite, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "You are generous today." ”

I smiled: "I usually don't eat well, I'm afraid you won't get used to it." ”

"Heh, I didn't say anything, what do you care."

After saying that, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and as soon as she put the glass down, she saw me hand over a blue ticket.

She glanced down, her willow-like eyebrows furrowed, "What do you mean?" ”

I said, "I was staking all my money in the goods and couldn't get it out. In fact, after separating from you last time, I borrowed ten taels of silver from Ye Feigongzi. ”

"Ten taels of silver," Ah Lan said, picking up the blue ticket and looking at it: "Here, it's fifty taels." ”

I smiled: "I probably asked, the price of the Miaoshan Gate guards is so much. ”

She smiled: "You know the rules." ”

"As long as Sister Alan doesn't feel that I have any other thoughts."

"Hahahaha," she laughed, "You have a lot of heart, one yard to one yard, our Miaoshanmen is indeed not a good stubble, nor does it have any good intentions to help others, but," she said as she threw the blue ticket in front of me: "That kid's ten taels, he doesn't ask, why do you have to pay it back?" The old lady is also happy to see him ruined. ”

I didn't answer the question, I just said, "Well, that money—"

"I didn't even ask about that money, why did you give it?"

I looked at her and my heart moved.

Ah Lan doesn't speak well, but he is real. They are indeed not good at stubble, they will kill people and set fire to them for money, I still remember when I first met her, she never left the silver in three words, if it wasn't for money, she would definitely not be involved with people like me. But now that she has obviously rescued me, "Lai" has been in my house for so many days, even if she doesn't say it, I understand that it is because of the group of people who are secretly staring at me, she has been helping me protect me, and why is she refusing to accept my money?

I said softly, "Alan, I-"

"That's it!" She waved her hand impatiently: "It's enough for a woman to hum and chirp in front of a man, there's no need to be a mother-in-law in front of a woman, who can show it!" ”

I was blocked by her words, and I couldn't open my mouth.

"I'm helping you now, I'm happy, no one can control it, no one can stop it. But—" she said, the corners of her mouth hooked, and a seductive smile came again, "It seems that the people around you are not very happy." ”

Speaking of which, I forced a smile.

Ah Lan also sneered, picked up the flask and poured another glass of wine, and drank it.

I also accompanied her to drink and eat food. When I was slightly drunk, I said, "Ah Lan, if you are willing to help me, I really have one thing in mind, and I hope you can help me." ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

"I'd like to ask you to help me find someone."

Ah Lan was originally holding a wine glass, with a slight sparkle in his eyes, but at this time he turned his head to look at me and said, "That group of people is really hard to check." ”

"I'm not talking about them."

"Not them? Who is it? ”

"It's an old friend of mine, we've been separated for years, we just got back together a few months ago, and suddenly she's gone."

Ah Lan was only a little more serious at this time, looked at me and said, "What kind of person is it?" ”

"It's a bhikshuni."

"What?" She was a little surprised, and looked at me with a smile: "You and the nun are old friends?" ”

I smiled: "When we met in the past, she was still an ordinary person, and after all these years of separation, I realized that she had already left home." I met her again when I crossed the river by boat......"

I slowly told Alan what had happened, and she listened carefully.

It wasn't until I finished speaking, Ah Lan said, "You mean, when you got off the boat, you still saw her, but when you got off the boat, she was gone." ”

"Hmm. At least none of the people they arrested. ”

"This bhikshuni knows martial arts?"

"No, she's just an ordinary peasant girl, and she doesn't know any martial arts."

"Then has she studied all these years as a monk?"

"Well, I don't know."

Ah Lan frowned slightly and said, "If you don't know martial arts, you won't have such a powerful body." It's okay to be able to avoid you, your son is a group of generals wherever he goes, she is a nun, and she definitely can't escape them casually. ”

I didn't think about whether Jingxu would be martial arts, but her whereabouts have always been a stalk in my heart that I can't let go. Of course, it is also possible that she really left alone, and there is not necessarily any danger, but she disappeared like this out of thin air, and even Pei Yuanxiu couldn't find her whereabouts, which made me a little worried.

Alan said: "You want me to find her whereabouts, and then what?" ”

When she asked, I hesitated.

Jingxu left Huangze Temple because she was entrusted by Jingchang Shitai, that is, Zhao Shuyuan, to find her son, and this matter is afraid that it will involve some things within the royal family, and it may even be another scandal.

Therefore, there are some things that can't be said too clearly to Ah Lan.

So, I said, "Actually, I'm just worried about her safety right now, if you can really find her and prove that she's okay now, then I'll be relieved, and I don't have to do anything, it's just-"

"Huh?"

I thought for a while and said, "You sue her and tell her not to go back to Huangze Temple." ”

"Huangze Temple?"

"Well, it's the monastery where she became a monk. She heard that she had been burned by a fire, and now she went back, but she was gone. If you find her, tell her not to go back. ”

Ah Lan listened, those seductive eyes kept looking at me, I knew that people like her were naturally very shrewd, and it was absolutely impossible for her not to doubt my words.

I just hope she doesn't ask.

When I finished speaking, Alan said, "That's it?" ”

"Yes, that's it."

She didn't speak again, but slowly picked up the cup and took a sip, and then raised the chopsticks to eat, I didn't speak again, I ate and drank with her, both of them were full of wine and food, she put down the chopsticks, and suddenly said: "If I really leave, won't you have a problem?" ”

I understood that she was talking about the people who were watching over me, or rather, my home.

"Although, I guess their target is not you, but in the end, you must not be inseparable from these people."

"Hmm."

"Aren't you worried?"

I thought about it for a moment and said, "As long as I know that those people won't hurt us, it's enough, and now for me, the most important thing is my daughter, and nothing else matters." As for what they want—"

My brow furrowed.

Maybe, the more people guard me, the less they will show up, and this matter will never be resolved.
