His little apprentice has a soft and charming waist

Chapter 42 Portrait
Kyoto is a very polite place.For example, male guests and female guests have separate banquets today, with male guests in the front yard and female guests in the garden.Between the front yard and the garden, there are women and children standing by, and they are clearly separated from each other, so as to ensure that there will be no drunken men breaking into the courtyard of the female guests "reciting poems and composing pairs to win the favor of the beautiful woman", and there will be no sudden arrival of the female guests. The courtyard "stumbles and stumbles and is supported by others, and the marriage is destined".

——These two situations will appear every few years, making people hard to guard against. Every time a "good story" happens, the capital will always talk about it for several months.

So in order not to let her family become a joke in the capital for several months, Mrs. Zhen Guogong took precautions and precautions this time, fearing that something would happen, but unexpectedly something happened, and it was such a big deal.

She and the Crown Princess looked at each other, seeing the Crown Princess nodding slightly, she immediately stood up and went to the door to give orders, whispered a few words, and a servant woman led them away.She came back and said to Li Shi: "This is a thief, and I don't know how he got into the mansion, he must be caught immediately, otherwise trouble may arise."

Li made an apologetic look: "Our Xiaowu was inexperienced. At that time, I thought I was wrong, so I just went to save Seventeen Niang. Later, after saving the person, I was not clear-headed and dizzy. Until I Ask, she just mentioned this matter, but she is not sure... But I thought, I must say something, so as not to cause something to happen. "

Anyway, the words are not dead.As for how Princess Chaohua fell into the water, why there was no maid by her side, why Shi Qi Niang was going there, and why there was a man in black, she didn't care.

Li Shi only said: "I just hope it's a false alarm, the child's eyes are dazzled."

Mrs. Zhen Guogong held Li's hand and was very grateful: "If you are willing to tell me, I am already grateful. When I find out, I will come to the door to thank you personally."

The Crown Princess also said softly: "Mrs. Ningguo is kind, I will keep this matter in mind."

He also said: "If there is really a thief, when Xixi looked over at that time, he must have seen Xixi. He knew that he was seen, so he would not dare to commit crimes again, and he would definitely run away in a hurry."

Mrs. Zhen Guogong: "Fortunately, the banquet is not over yet, and we guard the door, so he can't get out."

The concubine thought about it for a while, and then asked the fifth girl, "Can you see the specific appearance of the thief?"

Fifth girl: "No, I only saw a pair of eyes."

The princess: "How tall is it? How old is it?"

Miss Wu thought for a while, "It's neither tall nor short, about seven feet. The hair is tied. But it's too far away, and I can't tell whether the hair is black or black with white strands, and I can't tell whether the corners of the eyes are wrinkled or smooth."

The crown princess nodded, "Thank you very much, after this matter is over, I will post a post to invite you to the palace for a drink."

Fifth Miss quickly stood up and said, "I dare not take it."

At this time, the banquet was still over, but Li Shi didn't want to stay any longer, and after clarifying the matter, she wanted to take the children away.

"Please tell the princess and madam to talk to the fourth prince, and tell her not to worry. Xixi fell into the water and caught a cold. I have to take her back to rest first. Please also tell our family, Yun Niang, to let her go back with us."

Duke Zhen said: "It must be, hey, today is my mother's birthday banquet, who knew this would happen, I am really sorry."

Mrs. Li smiled, said a few more polite words to each other, and then took the two children out of the Zhen Guogong's mansion.The Second Young Madam was already anxiously waiting for them at the door.

She came to Zhen Guogong's mansion today, so she went to talk to her natal family.Today her aunt also came to celebrate her birthday at Duke Zhen's mansion, and the two stayed away from the crowd, mainly speaking ill of Mrs. Ning.

When it was said that Madam Ning knew that Yu Xingzhi had a bad conduct but did not tell her, and instead provoked dissension, news came from outside that it was the fifth girl who saved the seventeenth girl.

She was so frightened that she rushed over immediately, but she was already a step too late. The three of Li's family had already gone to Mrs. Zhen Guogong's place.She just came out and waited.

Seeing the three people coming, she immediately pulled them into the carriage.Seeing that her mouth was covered with blisters in anxiety, Mrs. Li smiled and said: "It's all right, don't panic." Seeing that the two little girls were frightened, she teased again: "Is this thing getting worse? The more you think about it, the more afraid you are?"

Fifth girl nodded, "Yes..."

Li Shi: "I'll tell you! There are some things that you weren't afraid of at the time, but the more you think about it afterwards, the more afraid you become, so don't think about it at all. Anyway, it's been made clear, and it's none of your business in the future."

Miss Wu said, "Mother, the more I think about it now, the more I regret it. Really, I should have yelled out when I saw that thief."

Sheng Yanling comforted her, "Fifth Sister, don't think so. You are very smart. If you didn't give in at the time, it must be because of some thoughts that stopped you."

Li Shi nodded when she heard the words, "Didn't you say that Shi Qi Niang sank at that time? You delayed saving others, it doesn't matter, don't be harsh on yourself."

Feast Bell: "Yes, and it was too far away at that time, you thought you were delusional."

The fifth girl thought for a while, but said: "There is another reason... I dare not shout about the land at that time."

Their clothes were all wet.If a man sees it, even a thief will spread bad words outside.

When she said this, she bowed her head in embarrassment, "Mother, even if it's only for a moment, I still think about it."

Li's heart ached, "Why blame yourself so much! You have done a good job."

Sheng Yanling also nodded, "If I were Fifth Sister, I would never have thought of so many things."

To be honest, it was the first time she encountered such a big event.This really made her shudder.

Li Shi whispered: "Today's incident is really strange. When you just said it, I thought it was just Shi Qiniang's design..."

It's not new for a concubine to plan to "save" the princess, but thinking about it now, it's not easy.

She shook her head, "I'm most afraid of involving the court. When your father comes back, I have to tell him."

Fifth girl sighed, "Mom, thanks to you."

After returning to Duke Ning, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Er Shao went to discuss matters, and Sheng Yanling talked with Miss Wu.It's still about the government of the town.

Miss Wu still regretted it, "I thought I was dazzled at the time, but now I must have seen someone. I think, maybe he pushed Princess Chaohua into the lake, and I feel that today's martial law is so strict, how can the thief get in?" Where are you going? You can’t say it’s a house thief.”

"Or, he is also related to Shi Qi Niang?"

Sheng Yanling said: "Don't think about it, let the Zhen Guo government handle it."

Miss Wu also wanted to forget, but she really couldn't.Lying in the same bed with Sheng Yanling, she whispered, "I may be thinking too much now, it's been a long time, as long as I close my eyes, it will be him."

Then he paused, and said in a softer voice, "I'm afraid I've forgotten the look in his eyes. Otherwise, what if I won't recognize him when I meet next time?"

Sheng Yanling thought for a while and said, "Then draw it."

Miss Wu was surprised, "Draw it?"

Shengyan Bell, "Yes. Everyone's facial features and eyes are different. After drawing it, look at it when you can't remember it. Those eyes must be remembered."

Fifth girl's painting skills are not bad, she immediately said: "Then I will draw."

Sheng Yanling immediately ground her, "Okay, try to draw a picture. If the picture is not good, I will draw according to your picture and the eye shape and face you described. I can draw faces."

She did it on purpose.

Miss Wu nodded, "Okay!"

After about a quarter of an hour, she showed the painting to Yan Yanling, "Look at it."

Feast Bell: "..."

She said, "Let me do it."

Miss Wu laughed, "Then I'll grind it for you."

Yan Yanling was also welcome, she drew very quickly, and immediately outlined the eyes of this person, and then drew a black veil to wear.

The fifth girl felt absolutely desperate.Really exactly the same!She was pleasantly surprised, "Yanling, you are really amazing! How did you do it?"

Sheng Yanling said shyly, "Mister said I have a talent for drawing."

The fifth girl laughed even harder.

Mrs. Li and the Second Young Madam just heard this laughter when they came back from work, they both looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to be able to laugh.

Just at this time Duke Ning came back with his three sons, so Li called the two girls out and said, "I have to talk to them about this matter."

The fifth girl was no longer afraid at all, and showed Li Shi the painting of Shengyan Bell, and said happily: "Mother, these are the eyes of that person! These are painted by Yanling, she is really amazing, really Lifelike."

If they were sent to the government of Zhen Guo, they would definitely be able to help them arrest people with twice the result with half the effort.
