Chapter 115: The county lord steals vegetables
Pei Yao's secret guard kept an eye on the room that Pei Yining had just entered not far away, and after waiting for an hour and not seeing the county lord come out, he felt that something was wrong, he jumped into front of the door of the room, and directly pushed the door open.
"Ahh
The dark guard stepped forward, drew his sword against her neck, and said in a deep voice, "Don't scream. ”
The maid obediently closed her mouth.
"Did the county lord come in just now, and where did she go?" asked the guard.
The maid said, "The county lord did come in just now, she said...... Her clothes were damaged, and she wanted to put on my clothes first, and gave me a few taels of silver, and after she changed her clothes, she ran directly through the window. ”
...... Ran through the window!
The dark guard suddenly sensed that something was wrong, put away his sword and ran outside, he flew to the roof, and tried to find the figure of the county lord of Yining in the Xiao Mansion, but no matter how he looked for it, he didn't seem to see the familiar shadow.
He suddenly recalled that the county lord wanted to go over to talk to Shen Yanshu just now, but he didn't go over inexplicably...... Could it be that she followed Shen Yanshu away?
Thinking of this, the dark guard was no longer entangled, and went directly in the direction of Qiu's mansion.
"What are you talking about, the county lord is gone?" Pei Yao frowned and looked at the dark guard with some warmth.
The dark guard directly half-knelt and hugged his fists and said: "Subordinates should be damned! It's the subordinates who are careless, I didn't expect the county lord to find me, and I ran through the window ......"
Pei Yao said: "Now you still talk about what to do, take someone to find it!"
The dark guard said hesitantly: "The county lord may have followed Shen Yanshu to Chang'an." ”
Shen Yanshu?
Pei Yao remembered that Yining was a little strange these days, and he always liked to go to Shen Yanshu.
But he can't think too much about it now, according to what the secret guard said, this Shen Yanshu will go back to Chang'an by water early this morning, and with Yining's character, he may pretend to be a maid and secretly follow Shen Yanshu's boat.
Pei Yao hurriedly rode out of the door, and galloped in the direction of the dock with the secret guard.
When he arrived at the dock, Pei Yao just got off the horse, grabbed a random person and asked, "Is the Xiao family's boat gone?"
The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Just left, you see that the boat not far away is the Xiao family, I heard that it is to send the Xiao family's cousin back to Chang'an." ”
Pei Yao let go of him, looked at the big ship that had been slowly moving away, and suddenly regretted it.
Pei Yining left like this, leaving behind her marriage contract with the Qiu family and leaving.
"Shizi, what should we do now?" asked the Dark Guard.
Pei Yao took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "Go back to Qiu Mansion." ”
In the hall of the Qiu family, a group of people looked at each other, not knowing what was the matter with the prince asking them to come over at this time.
Pei Yao looked at Qiu's father and Qiu's mother, and said, "These days, I have been disturbing in the house. ”
Qiu's father hurriedly said: "What is the son of the world, what is there to bother or not, it is the honor of our Qiu family for the son to live in our Qiu Mansion!"
"This is the willfulness of the little sister, and I am afraid that this marriage will be delayed for some more time. Pei Yao said calmly.
Everyone looked at him in bewilderment.
Qiu Li said: "Shizi, is there something wrong? Or is our Qiu family not good enough, if you bring it up, I can do my best to change it." ”
Pei Yao looked at him, but a trace of guilt arose in his heart, and said: "It's not your problem, it's Yining, she is too ignorant, and she has left Jiangzhou now." ”
Qiu Mu said: "This is good, where did the county lord go?"
Pei Yao said: "In short, this matter is the fault of our Jingwang Mansion, and when we come back from looking for her, we will definitely apologize to you." ”
Father Qiu's face softened, and he said, "The prince doesn't have to be entangled, the county lord may have left because he felt that she and Xiao'er were not suitable." The old man thinks that this marriage should not be forced, and if there is no fate for two days, there is no need to force ......"
"Father!" Qiu Li interrupted Qiu's father's words.
Even if the marriage contract is canceled, it should be King Jing's Mansion to speak, Father Qiu said this, but he was a little dissatisfied with the county lord, and the county lord of King Jing's Mansion was never disliked.
Pei Yao's thin lips pursed lightly, and he looked at Qiu's father and Qiu's mother calmly, their meaning was obvious.
Originally, Yi Ning was relatively obedient at the beginning, but when he met Chen Yanxi, he revealed his true nature a little out of control, and even his brother didn't pay attention to it.
If Pei Yao was a member of the Qiu family, he might not want Qiu to marry Pei Yining.
Comparing hearts to hearts, how can he not know.
"Then this marriage will be abandoned. Pei Yao said.
The tone was indifferent, as if to say that this tea was good.
Qiu Li stepped forward and knelt in front of Pei Yao and said, "The prince ......"
Pei Yao interrupted him and said, "You don't have to say much, although you have no fate with Yining, you are still the most trusted soldier under me, and I will not snub you because of this." ”
Qiu Li looked at Pei Yao, knowing that the more calm Pei Yao was, the greater his determination, so he just sighed and said, "Yes." ”
Because Pei Yining followed Shen Yanshu away, the Qiu Mansion was not at peace, and after Pei Yao and his party simply packed their luggage, they also embarked on the road of chasing Xiao's boat by boat.
If Emperor Wen of Zhou knew that the two brothers and sisters had arrived in Chang'an, I don't know what else would happen.
Fortunately, I received news from Chang'an a few days ago, saying that King Ning had been married, and it was Situ Yue'er, the youngest daughter of Situ Zhe, the head of the household department.
The Xiao family's boat was slowly moving along the river, and Pei Yining sneaked out of the cabin, because she was wearing a maid's clothes, but no one suspected it.
She hadn't eaten breakfast, and now it was almost noon, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
patting his unhappy stomach, Pei Yining could only look for something to eat first.
Fortunately, she had done a lot of this kind of thing before, and it didn't take long to find the kitchenette for cooking on the ship.
When someone passed by, she ignored it, as if she were a little girl working in the kitchen.
She walked in and saw that everyone was bowing their heads to prepare for today's lunch, and the dishes on the table were all delicious.
Delicious!
Probably because she had been hungry for too long, Pei Yining felt that all the food looked delicious.
"What are you doing!" a tall, muscly man with a kitchen spoon stepped forward and looked at her strangely.
Pei Yining was taken aback, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I...... I was the maid who came to serve the food, and the young lady was in a hurry, saying that the first serve had been prepared and gave it to her!"
When the big man heard her say this, he relaxed his guard, pointed to the dishes on the table with a spoon and said, "Let's serve these dishes first, and the rest will be fine for a while." ”
"Okay!" Pei Yining responded, picked up two dishes and planned to walk towards the door.
But as soon as she was about to go out, two maids came over and said, "Is your dish ready, young ladies and young masters are waiting for the food to be served!"
"Isn't this someone already urging you!" the big man pointed at Pei Yining and said, "This girl is going to serve the food!"
The two maids glanced at Pei Yining, and said strangely: "Miss was just going to eat just now, but you didn't rush just now, where are you maid?"
Pei Yining rolled her eyes and said, "I'm close to the young lady, of course you don't know." ”
"Impossible!" said one of the maids with an oath, "Miss is surrounded by only Sister Xiyan and Miss Qingyu, where did you come from!"
Pei Yining saw that this was about to be exposed, and quickly took the two dishes and knocked the two maids away, and then rushed out of the door, intending to run away.
Only then did everyone react, and the big man hurriedly shouted: "Catch the maid who stole the vegetables!"
Pei Yining ran outside, but unfortunately the boat was not as free to come and go as on the ground, the guards were everywhere, and she hadn't run a few steps before she was surrounded by the guards......
When it was time for lunch, Shen Yanshu sat at the dining table and served Huang Tingzhou with vegetables, and asked him to practice eating with his left hand, because his right hand was inconvenient, so she asked someone to make him a suitable spoon, so that it was more convenient to eat.
Shen Yan'an looked at Pei Yining, who was sitting on the opposite side of the dinner table and eating wildly, gobbling up like a refugee who had been hungry for a few days, and couldn't help but turn his head to Shen Yanshu and say, "Sister, are you really sure that this woman is the county lord?"
"It's true!" Pei Yining swallowed a mouthful of meat and said, "This county lord Shen Yanshu has also seen it, how can it be fake!"
Shen Yan'an sighed and said, "Could it be that the southwest side is very poor? Even the county lord seems to be asking for food." ”
Pei Yining didn't like to hear this, so she slapped the table and said, "Who do you say is asking for food!"
She slapped the table, but Huang Tingzhou, who was eating obediently, startled and shook the spoon in her hand to the ground.
"Wow-" Huang Tingzhou cried.
Shen Yanshu hurriedly patted him gently on the back and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, let's eat obediently." ”
As he spoke, he asked the maid to hurriedly bring a new spoon.
Seeing such a childlike Huang Tingzhou, although Pei Yining felt a little guilty, he still whispered: "It's ...... crying when you're such a big person."
Shen Yan'an was not happy: "Although you are the county lord, but don't go too far, I don't care about robbing my sister's maid before, you are now on our boat, eating us, using ours, and scaring Old Man Huang like this without apologizing, are you still reasonable?!"
"I ......" Pei Yining took the loss and muttered, "The county lord doesn't dislike you......"
"Do you have the face to dislike us!" Shen Yan'an said, "If it weren't for my sister's kindness, I would have thrown you into the river to feed the fish, and it was an eyesore." ”
"You dare!" Pei Yining said as soon as he heard this, "If you dare to do this to the county lord, King Jing's Mansion will not let you go!"
Shen Yan'an sneered: "How can King Jingfu know? You sneaked onto our ship yourself, and we will be disposed of as thieves, who will know that you have been here?"
He said it clearly, and his eyes were still shining, which made Pei Yining nervous.
If their brother and sister really want to throw themselves into the river, then they really can't know about it......
