Second Marriage - Chapter 11
So Xiao Youning stayed in Qingfeng Temple. On the first day he settled down, he asked the people in the Taoist Temple to find a credible person and went to the city to find out about her father and brother.
For two consecutive days, it can be said that there has been no progress.
“Girl, there is still war on the Datong side, and the saint’s side is pressing the cabinet and the supervisor to convict Hou Ye. This may be a good thing.”
Xiao Youning was sitting by the window, with a lotus picked from the pond on the window sill.
In the mid-summer of June, the lotus blossomed like a flower, and now a single folded one is inserted in the bottle, like a gentle and graceful beauty.
She stretched out her hand and gently touched the petals, and looked at it trembling, her expression sadly said: “It may not be a good thing. I don’t understand the affairs of the court, let alone guess the Sacred Heart, but I know that the war is urgent. The crime of my father and brother is bound to affect the military’s morale. Now it is Uncle Wei who leads the army in Datong.”
Wei Yan was her father’s fateful friend, and all the soldiers under him were brought by his father.
The emperor did not move at this time, mostly because he was afraid of affecting the military’s morale. The absence of her father and brother also gave Wei Yan and the others the motivation to fight with all their strength, so she had not dared to think about whether his father and brother were really there these days.
The unknown whereabouts was only the first step the emperor used to stabilize the military’s morale. If Datong’s morale drops again and loses the battle, there will be reports about her father and brother’s bad disappearance.
At that time, it is impossible for Wei Yan to remain unaffected. The enemy can easily take advantage of the loopholes. Then, after this…
No misfortune is greater than underestimation of the enemy, and the underestimation of the enemy will lose my treasure, so the resistance is added, and the mourner wins. She has read this.
She would think this way because her father and brother had been in trouble for so long, and she did not receive a letter from Wei Yan. It must be that he could not write a letter, or the letter could not reach her.
Suddenly, Xiao Youning felt frustrated. There was a surge of blood in her chest, and she coughed twice while covering her mouth.
Seeing that her whole body was faint, Yuanguo stopped the topic and rolled her eyes, thinking that there was one more thing she hadn’t told her.
“Girl, do you know what people in the capital now say about Erfang and Li’s house?! Brother Chen who inquired about the news said that the people were scolding Erfang every day, saying that he sent you a little girl to Datong and then went to Li’s house. To have a dowry is to bully you alone and to embezzle it.”
“The Li family was also scolded by criticizing them as black-hearted villains. In order to pick out their own house, the Li family specially asked Fu Yin to tell the dowry list and said that they must see you in person before giving you the dowry. It’s a good time for them to send all their papers to the holy side!”
Yuanguo said with her arms akimbo, her brows were flying, and she felt very happy.
Seeing her exaggerated appearance, Xiao Youning couldn’t help but bend her mouth, recalling the things the aunt said about Ye Shen.
Walking around, there is no fixed Taoism.
She would like to repay her life-saving grace.
When she thought that her fate was in that village, she was still alive and well.
So if there is no exact news from father and brother, there is hope!
She quickly regained her energy, and she should start planning to pay it back for her life-saving grace. Maybe she would see Daoist again that day.
“Yuanguo.” She looked at the row of green trees outside the window against the sun, with a smile on her delicate face, “You ask Brother Chen to tell others when he goes down the mountain tomorrow, we will settle down at Qingfengguan.”
what?
Yuanguo was taken aback: “Girl, why?”
When Xiao Youning ordered Yuanguo to do these things, Ye Shenzheng, who had returned to the palace for two days, listened to the news that Jianyin said that the people condemned the Ye family.
Jianyin said for a while, paused for a while, peeping at his expression.
But whether it was Ye Family bullying others or he bullied even a little girl in cold blood, his expression was faint. The deep and secluded eyes have no sorrow or joy, and they are lined by a full-length Taoist robe, really like a monk who has jumped out of the world.
“Fifth Master, don’t we care about these little people? It’s not us, the little girl from the Xiao family has been eaten to the point that there are no bones left.”
Ye Shen still didn’t respond, seriously copying the copybook at hand.
Seeing that he didn’t answer, Jianyin closed his mouth. Come on, anyway, the words that have been passed on to their fifth master over the years are much sharper than those passed on now.
Take care of it, maybe they have lost the identity of their fifth master.
Jianyin held the sword, ready to go out. Ye Shen’s writing wrist paused, and he said slowly behind him: “You ask someone to spread the news of her return to Beijing.”
Jianyin turned around unexpectedly: “Fifth Master, do you want to clarify? Tell them that we saved the Xiao family girl?”
“Only the news of her return to Beijing.”
Ye Shen turned his wrist, raised it vertically, and a thick ink leaped on the paper, forming a word with the strokes he had written before. He stared at the ink, put the pen down, and flashed in his mind that she was pulling her sleeve under the tree, trusting and reliant.
His mother was right and sent the Buddha to the west, and then helped this time. When she left Qingfeng Temple, it had nothing to do with him.
It is inconvenient to live there because it will cause trouble to his mother.
——
Xiao Youning had her own plan, waiting for the follow-up after the news came out, but she didn’t expect that Ye Shen would help in the future, but all day long Jingcheng knew where she was staying.
At this time, there was still a lively event in the capital that made many noble families look forward to it, and the Li family was one of them.
“Mother, my son has been doing heavy schoolwork recently, and has no free time to go out to dinner.
In Li Mansion, Mrs. Li called her son to her, she was completely rejected, and her face changed immediately.
Mrs. Li unhappily put the tea cup in her hand on the red sandalwood table, making a touch, and staring at him with her always sharp eyes: “Mr. of the academy obviously just asked you to read books at home this month. , What’s your classwork? Let you go to the banquet, push three and four, mother, will this harm you?”
Li Qingzhi was dismantled, his face was also unsightly, and he didn’t say anything.
Mrs. Li felt frustrated by the appearance of her son being soft and hard.
Ever since Xiao Youning made a mess of Li’s family, her husband has never looked good to her and hardly said a word to her. My son also blamed her, he would come to greet her every day, but he only had a simple sentence, and he turned around after speaking perfunctorily.
She is going to leave Xiao Youning, for whom? Isn’t it this home?
Even a woman in her back house knew that the cabinet and the supervising officer had committed the emperor to rule the Xiao family, and even took turns to participate in the book of officials who were close to the Xiao family.
Without her decisiveness, the Li family might not be embarrassed now, and even have to accompany them on the future. Why don’t they understand? !
“No matter what you think in your heart, you must follow me that day.” Mrs. Li was upset, and she was simply strong to the end. “The princess rarely entertains us. Since we have invited our family this time, we must not be rude!”
The mother’s unresistible attitude made Li Qingzhi take a deep breath, and finally left with a green face without saying anything.
Mrs. Li was so angry that he still dropped the teacup, and the tea poured all over the floor.
“He really wants to **** me off! Can’t you forget that Hu Meizi?!” Madam Li gritted her teeth with hatred in her eyes, “The princess who is pro-appointed by the Queen Mother is no better than that Hu Meizi?!”
The mother-in-law next to her patted her smoothly on her back and said: “Madam is not worthy of being angry. The second young master is young, and she has been with Miss Xiao since she was a child, and she is still in her heart because of affection. When he meets Princess Huijing and knows the kind of Princess Huijing, he will know who is good.”
“But look at him, do you have a sense of appreciation? The eldest princess banquet is to choose a son-in-law for Princess Huijing, and then she says that she will bring the younger generation to join in the fun.”
Mrs. Li became more and more angry. She raised her hand and wanted to throw the fruit plate on the table. The mother-in-law immediately held her hand, and then persuaded: “Madam…it’s not a slave and maid to belittle her, think about it, this is the princess mansion. Returning to our Li family’s post, there must be a deep meaning in it. Do you remember that at the beginning of this year, Princess Huijing met our second young master…”
The anger on Madam Li’s face disappeared as soon as he said this, and there was even joy in her eyes. But these emotions were all for an instant. She constricted her face instead of taking out the dead objects to vent her anger, retracting her arms and sitting upright.
“It makes sense, but it may not be. He was tied to a carriage that day.”
The mother-in-law knew that she felt the words just now in her heart, and she bent over and nodded again and again to agree, and praised Li Qingzhi again, boasting that no one else but him in Jingcheng could be right with Princess Huijing.
Mrs. Li had long felt that Princess Huijing was good, and she heard that in her heart called Shu Chang, and soon smiled and told her to make new clothes for her son, so that she could wear it at the dinner.
As soon as the person who listened to the instructions got down, they saw the steward in the front yard of Li’s house coming in anxiously and said he wanted to see her.
The stewards in the front yard were all Master Li’s people. Most of them came over after listening to some instructions, and immediately filled with smiles, and invited people to come.
The manager respectfully saw the ceremony, and said calmly: “Madam, the master wants you to change your clothes and go with him to see the Xiao family girl.”
Mrs. Li smiled immediately and froze on her face, and asked uncertainly: “Who to see?”
“Girl from the Xiao family.”
The smile on Mrs. Li’s face was completely gone, and a sharp voice came from her mouth: “Why am I going to see that little hoof?!” The author has something to say: Seeing everyone’s comments, my mouth is not very good. Re-comment, let’s say thank you to everyone here, and I’ll work **** the codeword [Bow.jpg]
