Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 696
Li Xin secretly hated Guan Ming for being unclear about the situation, and sure enough, Guan Ming jumped up and said, "My lord, don't talk nonsense, why is the little old man so stupid?"

Chunyu Qu coughed with his fist close to his mouth, looked at Li Xin and said, "Didn't Guan Zhicheng say where he was going before he left?"

Li Xin shook his head: "My husband has always been at odds with him, and he is not a yellow-mouthed child, so I don't need my husband to keep an eye on him all the time. My husband and the women really don't know where he is going."

Chunyu frowned again, exchanged eyes with several other people in simple military uniforms standing in the room, looked at Jiang Han and said, "Su Ting, what do you think?"

Jiang Han said flatly: "If Master Chunyu wants to investigate further, he can naturally ask Guan Wen after he comes back. The Guan family is writing about the old and weak women and children at this time. Even if you ask, you can't ask why. of."

This is also what Chunyu was thinking about. In the heart of an official like him, embarrassing women will always lose their place.

Chunyu took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, I won't stay any longer."

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and was considering whether to inquire about the reason why Master Chunyu came to ask about the three treasures of the Guan family, but Chunyu said: "But you, father-in-law, I want to take away."

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "What is the meaning of Master Chunyu?"

"Madam Guan, don't be nervous. I'll just take him back to ask questions." Chunyu said, "Madam is waiting for news at home. If Guan Wen comes back, please convey it to Madam. I'll come back in two days, and when the time comes, I'll ask my father-in-law to tell me about it." will send him back."

Chunyu got off the first seat, bowed his hands to Li Xin, and walked forward with strides.

Jiang Han followed behind, and nodded to Li Xin when he passed by Li Xin, and was about to step out, but A-mei stepped forward to stop him and asked, "Master Jiang, what's going on here? Nothing will happen to brother and sister-in-law, right?"

A-mei was very close to him, and she opened her hands slightly in a blocking gesture, which made Jiang Han's heart suddenly soften.

He was silent for a moment and then replied: "I can't say more about the specifics. Anyway, your family is in trouble now. Don't get involved with Guan Zhicheng in the future."

Jiang Han said this in a low voice, then nodded silently, and stepped forward to chase Chunyu and his party.

Li Xin waited until he saw that everyone was gone, before he sat down slumped, his fists clenched tightly.

"Ma'am." Qingya looked at her worriedly and said, "Cao Guanshi has just sent someone to inform the master, the one in the side courtyard..."

Guan Ming was directly taken away by Chunyu's people, and Li Xin couldn't even say a word.And Guan Ming, perhaps because he was imprisoned in the side courtyard and felt uncomfortable, unexpectedly followed Chunyu out on his own initiative.

Anyway, Chunyu said that when he came back two days later, he would send Guan Ming back.

Li Xin stretched out her hand and pressed her forehead, and Qing Ya saw the opportunity and hurried forward to take over, rubbing Li Xin's temples gently.

"Call Guanshi Cao and Mother Cao." Li Xin ordered.

Soon Guanshi Cao and Mama Cao stood in front of Li Xin. After what happened today, both of them seemed quite nervous.If the master's family can have contacts with the people in the government, then it is natural to rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade, and everything will go well in the future; What can I do...

Li Xin sat up slightly, and ordered in a stern tone: "What happened today, you explain it to me, and let everyone in the family shut their mouths to me, and you can't talk about it in private. Let people hear a few words, I just look for you. If anyone below breaks the rules, you can catch them yourself. This is the first. Second, everything in the family has always been followed by rules. What happened in the weekdays is still the same now. It will still be the same thing in the future, let people earnestly do a good job for me. Do you hear me?"

The Caos nodded immediately and said, "I heard that, madam."

Li Xin waved his hand: "Go down and do business."

The Cao couple took the order and left. Li Xin helped Qing Ya's hand and said, "I'll lie down for a while, don't call me until I wake up. If the master comes back, wake me up before I wake up."

Qingya looked at her worriedly: "Madam, would you like a bowl of red dates and lotus seed soup..."

Li Xin shook his head: "I'll lie down for a while..."

Li Xin lay down until the evening, Guan Wen hadn't come back yet, but Yang'er had already finished school, knowing that Li Xin was resting, he didn't bother him, and just talked with Youyou.

Aunt Cui and Mu Chun didn't go back to their yard either, the incident happened suddenly, the maid who was serving her and Mu Chun was temporarily taken away to work, and Li Xin didn't tell them to go back, Mu Chun rarely saw playmates of her age, Lai stays by Yoyo's side and refuses to leave.Youyou is not a stingy child either, she dragged Muchun to play together, Guozi didn't dare to say anything.

Yang'er is teaching Youyou to recite the beautiful sentence "Guanguan Jujiu, in the river island" in "The Book of Songs", and Youyou is parroting after Yang'er, while Muchun is also muttering to learn, the scene looks incomparable Warm.

Li Xin supported the door frame, and after a long while, he coughed softly: "Yang'er is back? Have you eaten yet?"

Yang'er stood up and said, "Mother, Sister Qingya said that you have been asleep and haven't eaten... my son will eat with you."

Li Xin laughed, nodded, and told Qingya to pass on the meal.

"Mother, is she feeling unwell? She looks a bit unhappy." Yang'er didn't know what happened at home today, Li Xin issued an import order, so naturally she didn't dare to tell the young master.Seeing Li Xin's haggard look, Yang'er took it for granted that she was unwell.

Li Xin also nodded vaguely, asked him how he was doing in the academy, and heard him say that everything was fine, so he chatted a few more words before letting Yang'er go down to rest.

After sleeping for such a long time, Li Xin didn't feel sleepy any more. After eating, she coaxed Yoyo to talk, and after Yoyo fell asleep, she leaned on the bedside to watch the light.

Qing Ya moved the clothes she was wearing, and said with some reluctance: "Ma'am, don't think too much about it. Madam can't stop the one from the side courtyard from being taken away. It's an official... I think the master will come back." I won't blame Madam either. Master will be back tomorrow, Madam, don't let Master worry about this matter, but also worry about Madam's body."

Li Xin smiled: "Girl, you are becoming more and more talkative. I still remember that when you first came to the village, you talked very little."

While tucking her quilt, Qingya smiled and said: "At that time, I was afraid of being with a master who would beat his slaves if he felt unhappy, so he always respected his wife, and he just came to a place where people and things everywhere are different. I’m not familiar with it, so it’s inevitable that I’m a bit colder in dealing with people. Later, seeing that my wife is a master with a bodhisattva’s heart, I’m not to mention how happy I am.”

Li Xin bent his lips and said: "You are doing well now, you can handle things. How can I be willing to let you go when you get married..."

This is probably the greatest appreciation for those who work as slaves, right?The master's reluctance to part with you proves that the master is at ease with you and cannot leave you. In other words, you are your master's confidant.

Qing Ya always knew that Madam valued her, and she felt grateful to Li Xin for never beating and scolding her, and for letting her eat and drink well, making her life more comfortable than that of poor girls.With Li Xin's emotion at this time, Qing Ya felt even more grateful, and hurriedly knelt down to express her loyalty to Li Xin: "Madam, Qing Ya will never marry in this life, she will only serve Madam."

Li Xin smiled, patted her hand, bypassed this topic and picked up the previous one: "You are right, I also want to have a good rest, and I can't let your master be distracted when you are anxious about other things I."

It's just that I slept too much during the day, and I really didn't feel sleepy at night. Li Xin asked Qingya to light the candlestick, and took the scriptures and wrote slowly on the paper with the candlestick.

Qing Ya only knew a few big characters, and now she was slowly learning characters, seeing Li Xin's handwriting was elegant and dignified, and she couldn't recognize five characters out of ten, so she was a little depressed.

Li Xin was copying the Heart Sutra, which she found for entertainment when she had nothing to do. One was to pass the time, and the other was to calm down.

After copying for more than an hour, she stopped, and asked Qingya to take care of her, wash and go to bed.But I was still thinking in my heart, why Guan Wen didn't come back today after sending someone to inform Guan Wen of the accident at home?
She was very sure that Guan Wen would definitely come back when he heard that something was going on at home.

On the afternoon of the second day, Guan Wen came back in a hurry. When he got to the gate, he got off his horse, threw the reins to the porter, and strode straight towards the inner courtyard.

Li Xin coaxed Youyou to have a good meal, and was about to take Youyou for a walk to digest the food, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Guan Wen hurriedly coming from the door, worried that his heart would return to the original place after a whole night, and he went forward to meet him in his voice. They all cried a little: "Why are you only coming back now!"

Guan Wen put his arms around her and patted her on the back: "I'm fine, don't worry, let's go in and talk."

Li Xin asked Qingya to fetch water for Guan Wen to clean his hands, and then filled Guan Wen's food. Seeing that Guan Wen had eaten three bowls of rice, he stopped his chopsticks, so he asked him, "Someone should have sent you a message yesterday. Why didn't you come back yesterday? Something in the village is delayed, and someone should come back and give me a letter..."

Guan Wendao: "It's not that I won't come back, it's Master Xue who sent someone to inform me that I must not hurry back."

Li Xin was taken aback, Guan Wen paused and sighed: "This time, we owe Master Xue another favor."

"...What the hell is going on here?" Li Xin was very confused: "What are their officials looking for? Why did Master Xue also participate in it?"

Guan Wen shook his head: "Master Xue didn't tell me clearly, and I have no way of knowing, but Master Xue won't harm us, so I can only follow what he said and deal with Guo Linzi's matter before returning. Guan Wen touched Li Xin's face: "The person who reported the letter at home didn't make it clear, so please tell me specifically what happened yesterday."

Li Xin repeated exactly what happened yesterday, and at the same time said solemnly: "Master Chunyu will come tomorrow, and I don't know what he brought your father to ask."

Guan Wen frowned: "Did he mention the three treasures left by grandpa?"

Li Xin nodded.

Guan Wen's frown deepened: "I didn't know about this until the time when my grandfather had an illness before he died. There are only a handful of people who know about it. That Master Chunyu asked about the three treasures, and about Guan Zhi. Cheng's whereabouts, and I brought my father to ask alone... Could it be that they really took the three treasures, but they caused some trouble, so they implicated the people from the government?"
