Jiaohua

Chapter 126 Holding the nose
With a small body and no waist, her back is straight.

Shi Shi felt that it was impossible to communicate normally with her at all, so he turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he turned around and scolded: "Blind bear!"

"Hahaha!" Dai Yu laughed.

Xia Zhaoyi also laughed.

Concubine Mei packed up the tent and brought the maids to invite people, the place was not far away.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't want to go, so he found an excuse and stayed by the carriage.

"Then come here later, we're leaving first." Dai Yu said.

"En." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

Dai Yu and the others left, Xia Zhaoyi looked at their backs, and then at the village where the dirt road stretched out under their feet.

On the way to the village, there are apricot blossoms, and the night is dyed with a faint fire, and there is a wide river in the distance. Judging from the direction Tao Daizhuo left with Shen Lie just now, it should be the river to that side.

Shen Lie and Tao Daizhuo walked side by side.

The two of them went down the river, facing the night breeze, and the guards behind them carried night lights, a few clear and small lights, which seemed to be invisible in the evening.

"The virtuous nephew is so benevolent and generous. This girl is really lucky to meet the virtuous nephew." Tao Daizhuo said with a smile.

"She offended you, and you can hold back, which impresses me." Shen Lie said.

The military adviser who was following Tao Daizhuo was so angry that he was about to faint. This kid doesn't even have an honorific title, so it's just you, you, you.

Jing'an Hou smiled: "She is still young, how could I care about her, but nephew, when you were her age, you must have offended someone at a banquet, haha."

"Jiang Mu." Shen Lie said.

"Yeah, I can't imagine, you didn't know each other at that lake banquet, and you became close friends."

Shen Lie paused, and said: "Master Hou can say whatever he has, I don't have much time, and I have to hurry tomorrow morning."

The Marquis of Jing'an sighed in his heart, and he didn't want to turn the corner anymore, so he said directly: "I heard that his father Jiang Shilang is going to Fengpei for disaster relief, and Mr. Guo has been mobilizing private supplies to help. In my current situation, Xian Nephew, you also know that it is actually no different from being exiled, but the people are suffering, and I am anxious and heartbroken, so I prepared some food and clothing earlier. Look, can Mr. Guo take my supplies and send them along? Go to the disaster area?"

"Why should my grandfather accept it? Jiang Mu's father has brought people from the household department to help the disaster, so you just give it to them. Besides, aren't you closer to Feng Pei, and it's not easy for you to send it yourself?"

The Marquis of Jing'an looked embarrassed: "This is exactly what I told you just now. I am different from before. I am no different from being exiled. This little thing about me may not be able to be liked..."

Shen Lie smiled: "How can you look down on this, people who are starving to death, it's too late for them to be grateful."

"Nephew, look, can you help me lead the way and send my supplies to Jiang Shilang, or let Mr. Guo take them?"

"Well, then let them remember your share. When the time comes, the list will be widely distributed. Your name should be placed first and second."

The Marquis of Jing'an almost lost his face: "Nephew, what you said..."

"It's not wrong to gain a good reputation for yourself. You can prepare something and give it to anyone you want. I will write the letter for you."

Jing'an Hou nodded: "Thank you, nephew, for that, and there is one more thing."

"Say."

Hou Jing'an is really angry.

He suppressed his temper and said: "Nephew, the world is in chaos today, all parties are raising troops, and the government is in turmoil. As a Marquis, you also understand that people in the world have a lot of criticisms about me, especially the faction of Duke Zheng's. I'm like a dog, I'm lingering on my last days, living a difficult life, you see, if I have the heart to surrender now, I want to form a relationship with Mr. Guo..."

"I think you made a mistake," Shen Lie interrupted him, "Jing'an Houye, my grandfather liked to make friends, but he never formed a party for personal gain."

"No, no, no, it's not about forming a party for personal gain, what I mean is making friends..." Jing'anhou said hastily.

Shen Lie looked at him, his lacquered eyes were as clear as a spring, but they were full of meaning.

The Marquis of Jing'an broke out in cold sweat again after being watched.

"The heart of surrender is not such a usage." Shen Lie said.

The military adviser at the back smiled and said: "Master Hou has been in a daze these days, and he couldn't find out what to say for a while, maybe he expressed it wrong."

Shen Lie nodded: "Yes."

Jing'an Hou said: "Then Mr. Guo..."

"Since you want to make friends, then go ahead and make friends. I'm just a junior. I can't control my grandfather's friends. But I know what Lord Hou means, so I can just pass it on."

"My nephew is smart." Jing'an Hou said with a smile.

Shen Lie also laughed, and changed the topic: "However, I don't like helping others for free."

"what?"

"I know that you have been troubled by nightmares, and you have sought medical treatment everywhere. Have you met my elder brother, Shen Wen, that master?"

Jing'an Hou paused slightly, showing hesitation.

"It seems that there is," Shen Lie smiled, "Did he see a doctor for you?"

Hou Jing'an nodded.

"It doesn't work?"

"maybe……"

"Apart from seeing a doctor, what else did I ask you? Or did I ask you to do anything?"

Marquis Jing'an looked at him, but didn't speak.

Shen Lie looked away from him and looked towards the river.

The water was gurgling, and the apricot blossoms were floating on the river, and were carried down the river in curls.

Shen Lie just looked at those apricot blossoms with a calm expression.

After a while of silence, Jing'an Hou said: "It is true, but I promised Qingzhou Shenglao not to mention it to others."

"He didn't cure you."

"No, I promised him, if you can't say it, you can't say it."

Shen Lie smiled, and looked back at Jing'an Hou: "Master Hou keeps his promise, he is a gentleman, but unfortunately I am not very sensible, you have never heard what I said before, you have been on the road these days, and you are very tired ,I'm going back."

"Hey, nephew!" Jing'an Hou hurriedly called out.

"It's still too late to change your mind," Shen Lie stopped, and turned his head slightly to look at Jing'an Hou, "What did he mention to you?"

Jing'an Hou was really angry and wanted to scold his mother, he felt that he was just a shadow puppet who was being led by the nose.

A half-life soldier who has made military exploits, but in the end let several brats climb on his head one after another. He was angry and furious, but there was nothing he could do.

"He just wanted to ask me to borrow troops." Jing'an Hou said.

"how many people?"

"Not many, only about two hundred."

"You borrowed it?"

No matter how it sounds, it sounds like being interrogated...

The Marquis of Jing'an gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No, these are not my soldiers. It's okay for me to transfer or send them out to do things. If I lend them to others casually, Zhuang Mengyao will not scold me to death."

"Borrowing soldiers is related to Chongyi," Shen Lie said again, "What excuse did he borrow, to suppress bandits?"

"Since the good nephew knows, why bother to ask me?" Jing Anhou was really going to be angry.

"I just want to confirm, don't worry, Lord Hou."

This is not anxious at all, but angry.

Marquis Jing'an felt a sudden pain in his brain.

　No face to see people, cowardly
