Chapter 39: The Red Candle Sits Opposite
Yang Yingqian still couldn't see the woman's tears after all, turned around and walked back to the Huayue Building, and the turtles who were dragging the little girl back were also frightened by Yang Yingqian's shout just now.
Luo Yangxing on the side saw that Yang Yingqian really couldn't hold back, so he could only sigh heavily and follow in.
When the old bustard saw Yang Yingqian going and returning, he seemed to understand something in his heart, and hurriedly ran to Yang Yingqian to stop him and said with a bitter face: "Uncle, this is not in accordance with the rules, and the slave family is not good to explain to the teaching department!" ”
Yang Yingqian didn't answer, but just smiled coldly at the old bustard: "No matter what, I want to take that girl away, or I'll let my relatives send you two thousand taels of silver over later, or let the adult behind me take you to Nanzhen for tea, think about it clearly, I never force others!" ”
Looking at Yang Yingqian's expression of wanting to eat people, the old bustard was at war between heaven and man in his heart, and said in his heart what kind of sin he had done, and he met this evil god today.
The old bustard struggled for a long time, and finally the fear of Jinyiwei prevailed in his heart, and a smile was squeezed out on his face that was more ugly than crying.
"Then it's all up to the uncle!"
"That's the best, but if someone asks, how do you reply?" Yang Yingqian squinted at the old bustard again.
The old bustard's eyes rolled.
"Tomorrow, the slave family will report to the Department of Education, and tonight there is a prisoner's family who is unwilling to accept guests, so he committed suicide in the room while the guards were unprepared!"
Seeing that this old bustard was so good, Yang Yingqian no longer embarrassed her, the little girl named Banxia saw that she had to get rid of the sea of suffering, and the two turtles just let go of their hands and flew into Shen Junyi's arms, and the master and servant couldn't help but hug and sob.
In the meantime, Yang Yingqian asked Zhan Haozhi to settle the second daughter in a sedan chair, and the group left Huayue Tower, until one person left for a long time, and the dozen or so splashes of Ma Yi, who had been beaten in the conflict just now, stood up one after another, seeing that Ma Yi had not woken up, the splashes hurriedly lifted him up, and also left Huayue Tower.
Not long after returning to the post station, Luo Yangxing mysteriously found Yang Yingqian, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
"Lord Yang, just now Yicheng vacated an upper room, and the lower official sent someone to place the daughter of the criminal official in the room, my lord rested early tonight, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold!"
Yang Yingqian was embarrassed when he heard this, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to respond vaguely, and everyone went back to their rooms after everyone cleaned up.
After wandering for a long time, Yang Yingqian finally walked to the door of the room where Shen Junyi was, knocked on the door gently, and saw that no one answered, so Yang Yingqian pushed the door and walked in.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, and the layout of the official post is definitely not as good as the inn outside, but Yang Yingqian and their choice of the official post are mainly for safety considerations.
There are four exquisite side dishes and a pot of water on the table in the room at this time, as well as two wine glasses, I think it was prepared by Luo Yangxing in order to add spice, this Luo Yangxing is really good at thinking about Shangguan's thoughts, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but shake his head and smiled.
There was a red candle lit on the table that was beeping and burning, the light in the room was a little dim, and there was a woman sitting next to the bed with a red curtain, it was Shen Junyi, but at this time Shen Junyi's hands and feet were tightly tied with ropes, and a cloth ball was stuffed in her mouth, her eyes were still shining with tears at this time, and there was still a trace of fear in her eyes when she looked at Yang Yingqian.
Yang Yingqian was shocked, Luo Yangxing regarded himself as a human trafficker, and hurriedly walked to the side of the bed a few steps to take out the strip of cloth from Shen Junyi's mouth, took out a dagger from his arms, squatted down and cut the rope tied to Shen Junyi's feet.
"This old Luo is really playing the piano indiscriminately, wronged girl."
Yang Yingqian cut the rope tied to Shen Junyi's hands and feet a few times, and then stood aside awkwardly.
After the rope on his hands and feet was untied, Shen Junyi stood up, perhaps because his hands and feet had been tied by the rope for too long, and his blood was not running smoothly, Shen Junyi's brows frowned slightly, and he actually fell forward, and Yang Yingqian quickly took Shen Junyi in his arms.
Time stood still instantly, Shen Junyi's face instantly flushed, Yang Yingqian's face was also a little embarrassed, although he was a human being in two lives, he had never dealt with girls much, although he had already gone to college in his previous life, he was shipwrecked before he could talk about a girlfriend.
The dim candlelight hit the faces of the two, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous, and it was Shen Junyi who broke the awkward atmosphere between the two: "You help me to the table and sit down." ”
This is the second time Yang Yingqian has heard Shen Junyi speak, which is different from the sadness in Huayue Tower just now, but listening to her voice at this time is gentle and delicate, and there is still a trace of shame in it.
Yang Yingqian laughed embarrassedly twice, it was really not good to hold other girls like this, so he took Shen Junyi to the table and sat down, and he sat opposite her.
There was another moment of silence, and all that could be heard was the beeping of the burning candles and the gentle breathing of the two of them.
"Do you hate me now?" Yang Yingqian finally broke the silence between the two and asked, after all, the Shen family has fallen to this point, and there are more or less some of his reasons in it.
Shen Junyi shook her head slightly, she knew the ins and outs of this incident, the root of everything was the insatiable greed of the Wen family, if it wasn't for her father who broke the marriage contract with the Yang family, she would not have been stirred up by the Wen family's affairs, thinking of this, Shen Junyi glanced at Yang Yingqian with a complicated expression.
"My father is an upright official, even if there is no such thing, he will find other opportunities to impeach the eunuchs, you don't have to be sorry, in the end, my Shen family will bear you first," Speaking of this, Shen Junyi's face flashed a trace of red.
Regarding Shen Congzhou's previous regret of marriage, in fact, Yang Yingqian still has some concerns in his heart, otherwise he would not refuse to do business with the Wen family, and there will be no later incidents, but now that the Shen family has become like this, there is really no need for him to care about these anymore.
Thinking of this, Yang Yingqian took out a piece of paper from his arms, but it was the redemption deed written by the old bustard of Huayue Building, unfolded the deed of redemption and looked at it, Yang Yingqian tore it to pieces, and Shen Junyi's eyes couldn't help but be full of doubts.
"Now that the girl is free, I don't know what relatives the Shen family has in Nanjing or Quanzhou, I will send my own soldiers to escort you away tomorrow."
Shen Junyi smiled sadly when she heard this: "All the relatives of our Shen family are already here. ”
"However, Yang's official position is low, and he can't save the girl's father and brother from fire and water!"
Seeing that Yang Yingqian's face was a little embarrassed, Shen Junyi smiled bitterly again: "Don't worry about anything, this is the disaster of my Shen family, I am already very grateful that you can save me and Banxia." ”
Speaking of this, Shen Junyi looked at Yang Yingqian with a complicated expression: "Regardless of whether this deed of redemption is there or not, I will repay this life-saving grace." ”
The implicit meaning of this sentence is that everyone can understand it, and Yang Yingqian also heard the meaning, but he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only say haha.
"That's fine, the girl will follow me into Beijing first, and then take care of things slowly!"
After speaking, Yang Yingqian stood up and wanted to leave, in the middle of the night, it was not good to stay in the girl's room.
"Hey."
Just as Yang Yingqian was about to walk to the door, Shen Junyi stopped him, Yang Yingqian stopped and turned his head: "Girl, is there anything else?" ”
"Can you take me to see my father......."
