Chapter 42 Hometown Festival

Su Siman also received the sachet on this day of the Hometown Festival, and two sachets were received. Of course, this could not be given by a man.

Su Siman knew that there was a difference between the Homecoming Festival and Valentine's Day and Qixi Festival. It covers more than Valentine's Day and Qixi Festival, and people of the same sex can also give sachets. In fact, even in the court where there is no hometown festival, this matter cannot be eliminated, which is different from the meaning of conveying affection to the opposite sex. Women give sachets to same-sex sisters, usually close sisters, or send them to their superiors to show their respects. This is not an intractable thing, and the palace has always closed its eyes.

But if the maid of honor sends a sachet to the eunuch, once she is found, she will be severely punished and even imprisoned in Shenxingsi. Although eunuchs are not real men in a sense, the palace rules are strict, and men's and women's defense is particularly important. Once they cross the minefield, the consequences are very serious.

Su Siman was surprised when she received Bixi's sachet and knew that it could also be given to women. She only made a sachet to secretly give it to Liang Shaojun, so she pulled out a hairpin from her head and gave it to Bixi. When she received Qingran's sachet, she was even more surprised. Unexpectedly, Qingran was still thinking about the former master-servant friendship, so she pulled out a jasper hairpin and gave it to Qingran.

Both of them gave her a light pink and a light blue, both of which were very meticulous and exquisite. Su Siman touched this and that, and she couldn't put it down in her hand.

It has been several months since the farewell of Pingyan City. Su Siman couldn't help leaving Qingran to talk for a long time and asked about the situation in detail.

It turned out that the Qingran was indeed imprisoned in the private attic of the state capital as Huangfu Chong inferred. According to Qingran, she has been secretly imprisoned for several days and completely isolated from the outside world. At first, they were rude to her, but later her attitude changed and she ate well.

Su Siman frowned gently and asked, "Then have they treated you harshly?"

qing ran lowered her head slightly and twisted her sleeves, as if she had thought for a moment, and then said, "At first it was a little, but it was okay later. The lord of the state capital saw that I didn't know anything inside, and I couldn't say anything from my mouth, so I also relaxed my vigilance and guarded, and then I had a chance to escape."

Su Siman was surprised: "You escaped by yourself?"

Qing Ran said, "How can I escape by relying on myself? I was saved by the chivalrous man."

"Oh, that's really pitiful, thanks to the righteous help of that chivalrous man." Su Siman sighed, "What happened later?"

"When I went out of Lord Huang's mansion, I saw your portraits posted everywhere. The hero told me that the people of the government were wanted to arrest the gold robbers and told me not to walk around at will to avoid being caught in the state capital again. After that, I went to Shunzhou with the hero. After separation, I went to find my brother alone..." Qingran lowered his eyebrows and said in a low tone.

Looking at her lost appearance, Susman said softly, "Didn't you find your brother?"

Qing Ran nodded silently.

Su Siman comforted softly: "Don't worry, this matter can't be rushed. It's in heaven. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone in this world. It may also depends on God's will to find it. Qingran, don't worry too much. Take your time." After saying this, Su Siman himself felt very unrealistic. Qingran has returned to the palace now. It is not easy to leave the palace again, and it is even more impossible to find someone. If she entrusts others to look for it, even she knows only a little bit of poor clues, and how can outsiders find it? This is mostly difficult to do, and Su Siman couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Qing Ran also understood that she was just a comforting word. She couldn't believe it. She just raised her eyelashes and hung down again, and said astringently, "I know."

Since the topic was a little heavy, Su Siman decided to change the topic and took a sip of tea: "by the way, have you met those four Turks later?"

Qing Ran's eyes flashed: "No."

"Oh, were you alone in those days?"

qing ran nodded.

Su Siman found that she had been bowing her head and rubbing the corners of her clothes restrainedly. She was a little uncomfortable. She thought to herself that she had not seen her for several months. If so, why did Qingran give herself a sachet? Or is it the question she asked that she doesn't want to answer or face? Su Siman couldn't figure it out for a moment, but felt strange. When he didn't show it below, he ordered Bixi to bring a plate of orange oranges to Qingran.

"This is the tangerines paid tribute from South Vietnam. Try it." Su Siman smiled warmly, and then shook his head slightly, "It's really hard for you. Let's see how thin you look."

"Thank you for your reward. I'm ashamed." Qingran immediately knelt down and bowed his head and thanked him.

"There is no one else here. You don't have to be so talkative. You don't have to kneel. Tourmaline, help her up. Su Siman winked at the tourmaline, and his eyes fell on Qingran again. "Qingran, during the time we were out of the palace, we supported each other. Thanks to your careful care of me, I have regarded you as my sister, just like the tourmaline. I'm very happy when you return to the palace this time. Although you don't work with me, you and Rong Guiren are familiar with each other when they are in Qin Yuelou. I think she won't treat you well. So I feel much more relieved, and I will see it often in the future. It's good.

"Well, the nobles treat my maidservants very well. The princess is so kind that I can't thank the maidservants."

"I heard that the nobleman was recommended by the emperor by Lord Fang. At that time, you were by her side and then taken back to the palace?"

"Exact."

Su Siman raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "How did you meet her? Isn't she in Qin Yuelou? Is it possible that you later entered Qin Yuelou again?

"Lotus sister redeemed herself and played outside. She happened to meet her in Xuzhou, and we were in the first place."

"So it is." Su Siman smiled and looked out of the window. The sunset was just right. "Why don't you accompany me outside and go back to the West Palace?"

"Yes." Bixi and Qingran answered at the same time.

When night fell, Susman paced back and forth in the room, with a smile on the corners of his mouth from time to time, and his hands kept in his sleeves, grasping the sachet hidden in it. She waited and waited for him to come, but asked her to look through the autumn water.

I don't know what he is busy with. He didn't finish his meal in Anqin Garden tonight. He just needed Xiao Huangmen to talk to say that he has something to do and won't come back later. Su Siman took out the sachet, sniffed it, and simply took off his shoes and lay down**. Wait slowly. Don't worry.
