Chapter 38: Mountain Heavy Water Restoration (4)
Aunt Shen recalled: "Later, Xue Yuhu heard the news, so he went to Shangguan Wuxian with the masked man, ready to snatch you back, and they set off that night, and then Manager He and Manager Chen arrived with troops, and Niang was rescued by them in this way." ”
Shen Jiannan said with a smile: "God bless, I was about to save my mother that day, who knew that Shangguan Wuxian arrested Miss Liu and used it to blackmail me, there is no way, Miss Liu is kind to us, so I will arrest her, but they don't keep their promises, and they won't let Miss Liu go after they arrest me." ”
"Isn't it dangerous that Miss Liu is now?" Aunt Shen was very worried, and her brows were tightly locked.
Shen Jiannan said: "The matter is too tortuous, and later I was rescued by Brother Song, so I don't know the whereabouts of Miss Liu, but don't worry, mother, after your birthday, I will go to her." ”
Aunt Shen clasped her hands together and said silently: "God bless, I hope Miss Liu is safe, otherwise I will be happy for the rest of my life." ”
"By the way, mother, you have a big birthday, why did you make such a big scene, I think there are still many local officials, local tyrants, squires and other characters, what is going on?" Shen Jiannan was very struggling and asked lately.
Aunt Shen sighed and said: "This is all arranged by Father-in-law Cao, I didn't want it to be like this at the beginning, Grandpa Cao is just an ordinary person, how can such a scene be bearable, but Father-in-law Cao said that I am your mother-in-law, and I must put on a show, saying that it is to make your face face, and I can't beat him, and it doesn't count, so I have to let him handle it." ”
Shen Jiannan hesitated and said: "This Cao Jixiang, what do you want to do, if you do it so publicly, aren't you afraid that the Jianghu sect will take the opportunity to find trouble?"
He Manning said with a smile: "Brother Shen, don't think so much, just celebrate the eldest mother, I believe that he will be able to settle if he dares to be so public." ”
A voice came from outside: "Mrs. Shen, someone has come to offer a birthday gift again, and Gonggong Cao invites you to go out to meet you." ”
"Alright, I'll be right away." He Manning shouted loudly, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Shen, change your clothes quickly." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "I'll hide it first, and we'll see you later." "Say it, jump out of the window.
He Manning walked out with Aunt Shen in her arms, her face was radiant, and what appeared in front of everyone was a new mood, and when she changed into new clothes, she changed her new look, Cao Jixiang said: "Mrs. Shen, there are too many people who come to give gifts, they are all waiting for you, and please ask Mrs. Shen to speak, so everyone can sit down." ”
Aunt Shen smiled and said: "I went to change my clothes just now, let everyone wait for a long time, I'm really sorry, I apologize to you again, and thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday, you are all from a busy schedule, come from afar, all the way hard, in fact, my birthday is not an important thing, or Cao Gonggong has the heart, to organize such a lively scene today, I see that the time is just right, the wine and food have been prepared, everyone will be seated." ”
Cao Jixiang got up and added: "Everyone please sit, the wine and food will be ready later, please drink happily, don't be polite." ”
Zhang Xinghan walked in with a gift, came to Cao Jixiang, and arched his hand: "The last general will meet Grandpa Cao." ”
Cao Jixiang said with a smile: "Hello General Zhang, it's been a long journey, it's been hard, please take a seat, but I don't know why Governor Chen's mansion didn't come?" ”
Zhang Xinghan said: "The bandits in Dongying have not retreated, and Governor Chen's mansion guards the city day and night, and he does not dare to slack off, so he sent the last general to come on his behalf, and let the last general tell Grandpa Cao that it is rude, and I ask Grandpa Cao to forgive me." ”
Cao Jixiang said with a smile: "Governor Chen is really a real hero, Da Ming has such a righteous person, let him Dongying can't do anything, what a strange thing, to the miscellaneous family sent troops to clear up, please Chen Governor Don't blame me, at that time, Dongchang was also a mess." ”
Zhang Xinghan said: "Gong Cao's words are serious. ”
There was a voice outside the door, the rich man of Shandong, Dongfang Liang came to pay respects, everyone didn't know who Dongfang Liang was, just came from all over the world, only Xu Youdao knew this person, he was shocked, and said secretly: "What is he doing here?" ”
Dongfang Liang strode over, followed by a few people carrying things, came to Mrs. Shen, and said with a smile: "In the next Dongfang Liang, I wish Mrs. Shen a long life." ”
Aunt Shen hurriedly thanked her, but she didn't know the person in front of her, in fact, these characters who came here were all things she hadn't seen, and she got used to it after a few greetings.
Xu Youdao stepped forward and shouted, "Dongfang Liang, what are you doing?" ”
Dongfang Liang said in a low voice: "Knowingly, do you want to bring so many birthday gifts?" ”
Xu Youdao was suspicious, and Chi asked: "Are you so kind, I think you have a conspiracy, but I really admire your courage, you dare to come alone, I will go to tell Gonggong Cao and expose you on the spot." ”
Dongfang Liang smiled: "Lord Xu, I don't know how that piece of Heshi Bi is?" ”
Xu Youdao was furious when he heard this, and hurriedly looked left and right, for fear that others would hear it, so he hurriedly whispered: "You damn thing, you stole Gonggong Cao's Heshi Bi and gave it to me, it's a poisonous track, I haven't settled this account with you yet, you came just in time today." ”
Dongfang Liang said disdainfully: "So what, you go and tell Gonggong Cao that I stole He's Bi, and then Gonggong Cao asked me where I hid He's Bi and asked me to hand it over, what do you say I should do?" ”
Xu Youdao's anger rose and said, "Okay, Dongfang Liang, if you dare to blackmail me, you are ruthless." ”
"What's the matter, if you don't expose me, I won't expose you, let's go our separate ways, I won't implicate you if there's anything, just act as if nothing happened, don't say you know me."
Xu Youdao is very helpless, he really can't do anything about him, he has the handle in his hands, and he really can't make him anxious, in case he tells the matter of He's Bi, how can his old life still be there, and let him do whatever he wants, I just wait and see what happens, Gonggong Cao has already prepared, Dongfang Liang, if you make a move, you will definitely die, and you don't need to do it yourself.
The guards outside hurriedly came and whispered a few words in Cao Jixiang's ear, Cao Jixiang frowned and hurriedly followed the guards.
Shen Jiannan came out of the house and wandered around, returned to the carriage again, happened to see Cao Jixiang go out, hesitated for a long time, and said secretly: "Seeing his solemn expression and walking in such a hurry, it seems that there is something big, what will it be?" ”
The bored self shook his head and sighed: "Regardless of him, let's look at my mother." Looking at the people in the courtyard, I saw that many people who came to celebrate the birthday had toasted their mothers, and they were really pleased that there were a group of people around them.
I only hate that I can't personally give my mother a bite to eat at this time, but fortunately, what girl next to her, she did it for herself, He Manning also looked here from time to time, and Shen Jiannan looked helpless.
Shen Jiannan stood up, his face was nervous, his eyes were firmly fixed on the person beside Xu Youdao, and he said in his heart: "Isn't that person Dongfang Liang?" How did it end up here? "Suddenly felt that there was a danger lurking, and hurriedly scanned the surrounding movements, but there was nothing suspicious, but he was so close to his mother, only a few steps away, in case Dongfang Liang made a move, and the others didn't notice it at all, wouldn't let him succeed."
Shen Jiannan hesitated for a long time and slowly walked towards the banquet, but Dongfang Liang was treacherous and cunning, his eyes were also paying close attention to the surrounding environment, it seemed that it was difficult to start, and he came to the front and said: "Everyone, let's enjoy eating, I haven't eaten for several days." ”
"Go, go, go, where did you come from, get out of the way, don't ruin the uncle's interest." Xu Youdao said boredly.
"Okay, okay, I'm fleeing all the way from Shandong to here, I'm dying of hunger, if you don't like to eat, just get me two." Shen Jiannan pretended to be pitiful, pleading pitifully.
Dongfang Liang was very surprised, and asked: "Stinky food, where are you from Shandong, why don't I know that there is a famine in Shandong, it is obvious that you came in to cheat to eat and drink, and Lord Xu still doesn't let people blow out." ”
"Hey, stop." When He Manning heard the commotion here, and saw that it was Shen Jiannan here, his heart sank, and he thought he was going to be exposed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Youdao said with a smile: "It's okay, this stinky person is too disappointing, I'll drive him away." ”
"Slow, I want something to eat, come with me." He Manning secretly relieved his nervous mood, gave Shen Jiannan a look, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you come with me, I'll bring you food." ”
"Thank you, young lady, you're such a good man." Shen Jiannan smiled knowingly and said pretentiously.
He Manning led Shen Jiannan to the table next to him and shouted, "Little brother, you can eat something here, I'll send you out when you're done." With that, the two sat down, and neither of them paid any more attention.
He Manning squinted left and right, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shen, is there something wrong?" ”
Shen Jiannan said in a deep voice: "Don't look back, the fat man behind you is the one who was going to bombard me just now, his name is Dongfang Liang, he is with Shangguan Wuxian gang, I don't know how he got in, I think if he is here, then Shangguan Wuxian must have a trajectory, so I came to inform you, I am worried that they will be unfavorable to my mother." ”
"Huh? So what to do? He Manning was shocked, and his face became tense.
Shen Jiannan hesitated for a long time, and said hesitantly: "I will keep an eye on him in secret, you must not leave my mother, if there is any change, you will take my mother to hide in the room next to you, and I will arrive in time." ”
He Manning said: "I'm so worried, Brother Shen, there won't really be danger." ”
Shen Jiannan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything has me." After that, he got up and said in a low voice: "Miss He, be careful, I flashed first." ”
Shen Jiannan strode away, he couldn't stay in the place he stayed in just now, he ate the meal, people always wanted to bombard him, so he had to go out, came to the door, paused, quickly came to the backyard, and jumped in again.
He Manning thought about it for a long time, returned to Aunt Shen's side, and whispered in his ear: "Aunt Shen, just now Brother Shen said that there is danger here, why don't I help you into the house to avoid first." ”
Aunt Shen was shocked and said, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
He Manning said solemnly: "That's right, the enemy has already mixed in, and Brother Shen has already found out." ”
Aunt Shen nodded silently, sighed, got up slowly, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm a little unwell, I want to go back to my room to rest, everyone, please take care of yourself." ”
Everyone showed displeasure, and suddenly felt dissatisfied, the whole compound was in an uproar, He Manning smiled and said: "Everyone, please understand, Aunt Shen has not gone to the cold, and she can't sit outside for a long time, take a break, and come out to drink with everyone later." ”
Xue Kui got up and said, "Since Sister-in-law Shen is unwell, please rest early, and Manning should take good care of her, you know?" ”
He Manning nodded vigorously and said, "Uncle, don't worry. ”
Shen Jiannan heard the crowd in the backyard and hurriedly came over to find out, and was very happy to see this, hurriedly followed up the house, and said, "Manning, you really have a way." ”
He Manning said with a smile: "Of course I have to handle the things that Brother Shen handed over to me, this time let's wait and see what happens in the house." ”
"Jiannan, will there really be an enemy today?" Aunt Shen was worried, and her face was haggard.
Shen Jiannan sighed: "I can't say for sure, it's just that Dongfang Liang is far away, this person has always been despicable, and he has colluded with Shangguan Wuxi, his appearance will definitely not be anything good, so we must take precautions." ”
came to the window and looked outside, and said: "Look at that guy, his eyes are full of hope, it is clear that he is mixed in to investigate, I can't expose him yet, or not, just see what tricks he has, my mother will rest first, and I will guard the door here to ensure that they can't hurt your mother at all." ”
