Jiaochu

Chapter 198 Marriage Talisman ([-])
When the servant led Su Shi to Yan Fei's residence, Yan Jiang happened to be in the yard. He went over to salute first. When he was about to talk about Lady Peach Blossom, the door was opened and Xi Niang came out and signaled to Yan Fei. Jiang and Su Shi can go in and see people.

Not long after the three of them entered the house, General Yan also came over. Seeing that Yan Fei still had a needle stuck in his head and he hadn't woken up yet, his tone became a little irritable again, "Why haven't you woke up yet?"

Xi Niang said: "It's not like I fell asleep. I woke up after getting an injection."

General Yan was scolded, and his thick black eyebrows were raised angrily. Yanjiang quickly smoothed things over and said, "Don't worry, didn't Xi Niang heal Fei'er's leg last time? This time The medicine will definitely work - the needle will cure the disease."

"It's not that simple." Xi Niang said.

General Yan stroked his beard again.

"Fei'er is indeed very ill." Yan Jiang touched his chin. After thinking for a few seconds, his eyes turned to Su Shi. He asked him to step aside and whispered, "Child, did you have anything to say just now?"

Su Shi explained the matter about Peach Blossom Lady and the Marriage Talisman in a clear and logical manner.

"There is indeed something fishy about this peach lady. It seems I have to go and have a talk." Yan Jiang peeked at Xi Niang again and hissed to Su Shi to tell him to keep it a secret.

After dinner, Yanjiang went to Wen Shangshu's house to visit and asked about the Peach Blossom Lady. Wen Shangshu suddenly became sad when he heard the name. It seemed that he was not having a good time these days.

"To be honest with you, my eldest nephew has not been doing well these past two days. He is probably interested in some girl, so she went to the peach lady to ask for a marriage charm."

"Little Master Yan..."

Yanjiang nodded, as if Mr. Wen had found a close friend, he told the story about his daughter. Yanjiang heard that the second Miss Wen only met Liu Hong once at the polo party, and then she made a fuss about marrying him. It's really weird.He promised Wen Shangshu that he would find out the origin of this peach blossom lady. If there was something really weird in it, he would definitely not tolerate it. He also asked Wen Shangshu to keep the matter secret and not let the news leak out, so as not to alert the snake.Wen Shangshu agreed one by one, hoping that Yanjiang could find out the matter as soon as possible. The Liu family could no longer hold on, but he really didn't want his daughter to marry a playboy with bad conduct like Liu Hong.

"Master Liu, I can be of some help. I heard a few days ago that Master Liu was causing trouble in a restaurant. I don't know if it's true. It seems I have to ask Master Liu."

"Thank you, General."

After leaving Wen Shangshu's mansion, Yan Jiang went to see Yuan Luo, the commander of the Imperial City Division. I don't know what cooperation conditions were reached between the two. The next day, Liu Hong was invited to the Imperial City Division for tea, waiting for Liu After the minister went to court, he learned that his son had been taken away by Yuan Luo, so he rushed to the Imperial City without stopping, said a lot of convoluted words to Yuan Luo, and then brought Liu Hong back.

I don’t know what horrifying scenes Mr. Liu saw in the Imperial City Division. When he was taken out, he was incoherent and seemed like he couldn’t even speak. As soon as he got home, he became bedridden. Yuan Luo came to visit him in person. Suddenly, the result seemed to make people even more frightened.

Because Liu Hong was so frightened that Mrs. Liu had no time to visit Wen Mansion, she complained to Liu Shangshu that Yuan Luo was too deceitful. Liu Shangshu also held back his anger, but he wanted to go to the Imperial City to launch an army. There were still many concerns about the accusation, and he vented his dissatisfaction on Mrs. Liu, saying that she failed to discipline her son, allowing Liu Hong to be uneducated and fool around outside all day long. Only then did people get the handle. Mrs. Liu blamed Liu Shangshu He only knew how to beg for his little wife, but he didn't care about his son at all. There was another quarrel, and Liu Shangshu left home angrily to hide in peace.

……

The wind picked up last night, and the peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest fell all over the ground. The fallen red was spread on the green grass. In some places, it was a thin layer, and in some places, the color of the grass was no longer visible.Under the big peach tree, several young ladies were discussing whether the Peach Blossom Lady would come today. The Peach Blossom Lady had not appeared for two days in a row. Several people speculated whether she had left the capital and gone elsewhere.

Seeing that the sun was almost setting and there was still no sign of anyone showing up, the young men and ladies dispersed and left in anger in a carriage.

When the last blush of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon, the people who came to the peach blossom forest to enjoy the flowers and have an outing all left. The dusk enveloped the entire peach blossom forest, and there was an atmosphere of silence.

"It seems that it won't come." The voice came from the big peach blossom tree. His slender figure was hidden among the layers of peach blossoms. He stretched his waist and jumped down from the peach blossom tree. He landed gently and walked towards the city gate.

When one man and one horse entered the city, lights were already lit on both sides of the street.When passing a crossroads, a carriage drove slowly from the right, accompanied by the ethereal ringing of bells. The golden bell hanging in front of the carriage shone in the light, and the curtains were opened at a corner, and the bright red bells Kou makes the already fair complexion even more transparent and soft.

"General, did you come back so late to see Peach Blossom Lady?" The light brown eyes behind the car curtain looked even more mysterious under the light, and their smiles became particularly alluring.

Yan Jiang smiled and said, "I heard that this peach lady is particularly efficacious, but I don't know where she came from. Does she know?"

The person behind the car curtain said: "I heard it from the guests of Zixue Pavilion. I heard that the marriage between the second lady of the Wen family and the eldest son of the Liu family was brought about by this peach lady." A woman's soft voice came from behind the car curtain. Sighing, "What a shame."

"This peach blossom lady has not been to the peach blossom forest for two days, and she is not here today. I would like to ask this lady a few questions," Yan Jiang said.

"I heard some news here. I wonder if I can help the general."

"Girl, please speak."

"I heard that Pingyang Prince's Palace invited this peach blossom lady to be a guest in the palace two days ago."

"It seems that I have to pay a visit to Prince Pingyang's Mansion. Thank you very much, girl."

"The general is polite."

After Yan Jiang led the horse and carriage for a while, they separated at the next crossroads. The former went to Prince Pingyang's Mansion, and the latter went to Zixue Pavilion.

After the carriage slowly stopped at Zixue Pavilion, two maids helped Yanruo get out of the carriage.

As soon as they entered the building, Mother Li twisted her waist and came over happily and said that there was a wealthy businessman who wanted to redeem Mingyan's life and offered 10 taels of gold. Mother Li emphasized that it was gold.Yan Ruo asked Ming Yan if she was willing, and Mother Li immediately turned down her face, saying that Ming Yan was a ungrateful girl and would not accept her life or death. Yan Ruo said that since Ming Yan was not willing, she should reject her, and Mother Li was not good either. Without saying anything else, he twisted his waist with a forced smile and went to find a wealthy businessman to refund the deposit.
