Chapter 42 twists and turns
As soon as she got into the carriage, Lanzhi couldn't wait to report to Yan Kaizhi: "Brother, you're late. I just watched a good show." However, Yan Kaizhi was obviously not interested in the good play in her mouth, and Lanzhi was not annoyed and asked herself, "Do you remember Song Yu's brother's Yunniang?"
Yan Kaizhi, who had closed his eyes and was refreshed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his sister, frowned and asked, "She bullied you?"
Lanzhi rolled her eyes and despised her brother for making a fuss. She always thought that she would be bullied wherever she went. What had nothing to do with me was that she bullied others, but she was taught back.
"What did you say to me?" Yan Kaizhi's eyebrows trembled, sat in place, closed his eyes and refreshed.
Although he only took an idle position in the army, he was free most of the time except for ordering a Yin Mao every day. Not to mention the whole soldier, even the whole city knows that he is from the second prince. Even if he does not attend one day, there will be someone around the second prince to announce for him. If he were replaced by other princes and brothers, giving him such an idle job would be the blessing of his ancestors and the guarantee of food and clothing for the rest of his life.
It is reasonable that such a day is extremely leisurely.
But because many people in the house have recently put on leave, either they are not feeling well or have something to do at home, the Dongcheng soldiers and horses, which were originally overcrowded, suddenly became unavailable. He was ordered to patrol the city, but he found trouble continuously, but no one dared to arrest him. After detailed inquiry, it is said that there are people around the eldest prince. Since the triumphant return of the second prince, the eldest prince has invited himself to Guoan Temple to pray for the people. Because of the lack of rain this year, the harvest across the country has been poor, and some have even begun to suffer from famine. The emperor had a headache about this matter. Hearing his eldest son's words, he was very touched, so he granted his request and took the lead in clearing the precepts for three days.
Now the emperor is feeling that the eldest prince loves the people. If someone catches his shortcomings this time, I'm afraid that the emperor will not pay attention to it. Naturally, no one dares to come forward to touch the mold. However, if it is not dealt with, no one can escape the responsibility of Dongcheng's soldiers and horses.
Lanzhi did not know that Yan Kaizhi was entangled in his heart. Seeing that he didn't care about his words, she couldn't help complaining. Brother, you... I don't know why a wife likes you, just a piece of stupid wood.
If Yan Kaizhi is puzzled by his amorous feelings, he often brings all kinds of gadgets to make her happy, but if he understands amorous feelings, no matter whose wife secretly asks someone to hand over a handkerchief sachet, all of them will be returned. Mrs. Xingyong took a pile of portraits and asked him to choose. He didn't look at it, but only said that he had no intention. After finally proposing a few wives, Mrs. Xingyong immediately lost interest as soon as she heard that their father and brothers were in a high position. According to her idea, she would rather Yan Kaizhi lead an idle job to guard the city far away than in Beijing.
Hearing her sister's complaint, Yan Kaizhi opened his eyes and glanced at her bulging appearance. She smiled and pinched her cheek. "It doesn't matter whether they like it or not. The important thing is that she has to treat your mother well."
Lanzhi patted her forehead with her hand and felt that she couldn't talk to her brother. "Well, I won't tell you this. Brother, I saw an interesting woman in Zhongyi Houfu today. Although it's far away and I can't see it clearly, I know she did it on purpose!"
"What on purpose?" Seeing that she was very interested, Yan Kaizhi chatted with her.
"When I was just enjoying chrysanthemums in the garden, I was tired of shopping, so I wanted to find a place to sit down. I happened to see Yunniang and others on the fake mountain opposite. I don't like Yun Niang, so I didn't go to say hello. As a result, I saw a figure coming out of the cave and bumping into Yun Niang. I was thinking that the little lady was unlucky. But more than what happened, Yun Niang fell down, and the little lady turned around and ran away while everyone was in chaos. Lanzhi was very excited when she talked about what she had just seen and said, "Brother, don't you think it's interesting? Yun Niang wants to come from nobility, and even I like to ignore it. Now I have been taught a lesson."
Yan Kaizhi didn't know why he suddenly thought of Shaohua that such an impulsive thing would indeed be done by a woman like her.
"It's wrong to gloat." Yan Kaizhi felt helpless about his sister's excitement.
"I don't have it." Lanzhi said innocently, but the smile in her eyes revealed her mind. If there is a chance, I will definitely bring her to show you.
......
"Five ladies, what's wrong with you?" Chu He looked worriedly at Shaohua, who was lying sick. After returning from Anqing Hou Mansion, Shaohua looked listless. Wanhua told them that they were well taken care of, which may have been affected by the wind and cold. But she leaned her forehead and was not hot. Except for her sad expression, she didn't find anything wrong with her.
However, the more so, the more worried Chu He became. He shook Shaohua and asked, "Wu Niangzi, are you hungry? Can I get you a pumpkin sesame ball? Last time you boasted that it was delicious. Today, Aunt Zhang said that there were two pumpkins hidden in the cellar, which was the sweetest at this time. Shaohua shook her head. She is not interested in food at all now. "Then I'll ask someone to go out and buy you a rose cake. I heard that there is a new dessert in Mixiangzhai."
"Cchu He, I have no appetite." Shaohua turned over and didn't look at Chu He. She really didn't know how to explain to Chu He that her depression at this moment could not be comforted by food. So, everything is to blame her for being too impulsive. If she didn't conflict with Song Yun, she wouldn't run back to the car with a guilty heart. Ling didn't have to leave so early, and she wouldn't miss the opportunity to meet Yan Kai again.
Although I can't think of what she can say to him if she sees him in full view of the public. But even if we meet, it's better than being so depressed and irritable now that you can't do bad things. When punishing bad people, she didn't see how active God was. She just taught her a little lesson. Why did the world come so fast?
"Wu Niangzi, where is your sachet? Also, I don't think I made this purse. Youhan came in with a sapphire blue purse and handed it to Chu He, "Have you made such a purse for the fifth lady?"
Chu He took over and looked at it carefully. The handwork was quite exquisite, but the flowers and plants on the purse were not worn by ordinary women, but more like Lang Jun's things. She shook her head, "I haven't done it. Where did you come from?"
"I just went to collect my clothes and brought me the spring flowers for washing clothes. They said that there were still silver tickets in it. I don't know if there are any less."
Hearing this, Shaohua sat up and took his purse from the young man's hand. He opened it and saw several silver tickets that had been soaked in water and a yellow cloth. She curiously took out the yellow cloth, which turned out to be a cloth charm, and embroidered three words "Wish you back" with red thread on the back. Shaohua frowned and thought for a while. She had often seen this kind of cloth before, which was nothing more than a peace charm made by people in their families who went out to war. As long as you go to the temple to add oil sincerely, you can ask for a cloth to return home, and then embroider three words with your own hands, and you must hide the hair of the person who goes out in the charm. For, in case you really can't come back, this charm can also bring the soul of the hair owner home.
However, no one around her went out to fight.
Is it possible... Shaohua's expression lit up, opened his eyes unbelievably, and grabbed the young man's hand urgently: "This was sandwiched in the clothes at any time."
Youhan thought for a moment, "It seems that... the day the second young master comes back." The maid who washed the clothes did not expect that it would be Shaohua. It may be sent to Taoyuan. The people on the other side of Taoyuan said that they had made a mistake and sent it back, so it was a few days later.
If it's that day, that's right!
"God really has eyes!" Shaohua held his purse with a smile, thinking that Wanhua also hid the hair cut by Fan Erlang so carefully, and shouted to the young man, "Hurry up and bring me the needle."
Chu He and Youhan were also confused by her inexplicable behavior, but they still took a needle and thread basket and took out an embroidered needle for her. Shaohua struggled to hook out a few hairs from a crack. She handed the needle to the young man, put the hair on the palm of her hand like a baby, pulled off a few from her head, twisted the hair together, and tied it with red thread. He asked Chuhe to find a red cloth for her and carefully wrap her hair.
"Five Lady, what is this? What's the use of it?" The first lotus is confused.
"It's okay, it's just that everything I want comes true." Shaohua giggled and received the red cloth wrapped in hair into her sachet. Suddenly, she thought that if she accidentally took Yan Kaizhi's purse by mistake last time, wouldn't her own sachet fall into Yan Kaizhi's hand? There was a concentric knot made by herself. I don't know if it was found by Yan Kaizhi, and suddenly her calm heart became nervous again.
What to do! What to do!
What she wrote is Xin Zimo, not Li Shaohua. What if Yan Kaizhi finds out that she will be suspicious?
As soon as Shaohua became anxious, he forgot to wear his shoes and turned around the room. Chuhe Youhan watched her alone and talking about the room. She was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound. They all thought that Shaohua was possessed by the god in the spell just now and hesitated to go out and call Ling.
"Five ladies, the second young master is outside." The little maid's words interrupted Shaohua's wild thoughts.
Shaohua stopped and calmed down, wondering how Li Sinian found her yard. Ask the second young master to sit in the pavilion, and I'll be there right away. In view of Yichen's previous record, Shaohua begged Ling to install a few stone chairs and stone tables in her courtyard. Unexpectedly, I really used it. Looking back, I saw Chuhe Youhan, who was relieved at the same time. "Chuhe, go make a pot of tea and bring up the pumpkin sesame balls you just mentioned. Youhan, come and fix my hair." I just turned over a few times in **, and the hairpin was loose.
By the time she finished dressing up, Chu He had already sent all the refreshments.
"Second brother, why are you free to come to me today?" Shao Hualian stepped forward to salute Li Sinian. It seemed that because he was his brother, Shaohua did not feel embarrassed and naturally sat opposite the stone table. Perhaps because I was grateful to Li Sinian for keeping a secret for her, I also felt very kind when I looked at Li Sinian.
"I'm still the first to come back to Biwuxuan." Li Sinian looked at the small yard, his eyes fell on Shaohua's flattering smile, and the corners of his mouth raised.
"Well, do you want me to take my second brother around and meet the third sister by the way?" Shaohua was about to get up and was stopped by Li Sinian: "No need to come to you today." Shaohua was stunned and saw Li Sinian take a pair of purple pottery from his arms. I just saw it on the road and thought it was interesting, so I bought it. Let's take it as a thank-you gift from the scripture.
Shaohua was still playing with the Fuwa happily. As soon as he heard the "Book", the smile on his face immediately collapsed. He pushed Fuwa back in front of Li Sinian angrily, "The second brother is really good at being a man. He robbed my things here, and he borrowed flowers to present Buddha over there. Now I want to use two clay dolls as gifts."
Just because Li Sinian grabbed love, she had to stay up late and copy it again. Thinking of this, she still had some resentment against Li Sinian.
Li Sinian thought it was funny, "So what do you want as a return gift? Why don't I bring back the scriptures?
"No." Shaohua answered without thinking and suddenly thought, "Is it okay to return any gift?"
"Yes." After Shaohua's smile stained his eyes, he said, "Anything but Yan Kaizhi."
"How do you know?" Shaohua was shocked. Didn't he see what happened that day?
Facing Shaohua's alert eyes, Li Sinian didn't care and paused, "I saw him yesterday, and he happened to ask me about you." Shaohua was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall off. "He, what did he ask?" Li Sinian looked curiously at Shaohua's rapidly changing expression like turning a book, "How do you know each other?"
Shaohua lowered his head and tried to think about how to answer Li Sinian's question. After a long time, he said, "When the eldest brother got married."
Li Sinian suddenly realized, "You were still young at that time." This is possible. If it hadn't been for this time, it would have been difficult for him to think of how Shaohua would know Yan Kaizhi. Obviously, she grew up in Pu'an and returned home this year. You have a crush on him."
"Second brother, can you not be so surprised? If you have anything to say, I'll just answer you." Shaohua felt that Li Sinian was an extremely terrible existence. How could she guess what she was thinking at once? Obviously, they had only seen each other for a few times. If it is a blood relationship, they are still close to each other.
"Okay, I'll go straight." Li Sinian appreciated Shaohua's straightforwardness, "Yan Kaizhi is not a person in our family. He may be a good person and his family background is not high. But he is the second prince and can't move. Even if the second uncle agrees, his grandfather will not agree. Shaohua didn't expect Li Sinian to be so straightforward and straightforward. Before she had any psychological preparation, a sharp knife stabbed her in the chest.
"Why?" If others say so, maybe she doesn't care, but Li Sinian's tone makes her have to believe it.
"We can't stand in line before the prince is decided." This is Li Ge's principle.
"So, if we don't decide on the prince, we don't have to marry?" Shaohua is angry.
Li Sinian smiled and said, "That's not true, it's just Yan Kaizhi." Most of those who went straight to Xingyongbo's house to discuss marriage went there after looking at the faction of the second prince. If they want to like Yan Kaizhi himself, they have to make some discounts.
In fact, Li Sinian likes this cousin in his heart, so he doesn't want her to suffer unnecessary twists and turns and injuries, so he reminds her when returning the gift. You are smarter than Sanniang, but don't be delayed by cleverness. Shaohua was about to refute. Seeing him shake his head, he was so sad that he didn't know what to say.
