carved heart

Chapter 69 Going to Yongping (2)
Yan Shen came in, and said again: "Nowadays Gongcheng is full of troubles and storms, Xie's family is looking for tomb robbers, saying that Miss Yin's grandfather's tomb was stolen." He paused slightly, and said to himself: "It's really strange Why would someone steal a worthless tomb? Could it be that Miss Yin has formed an enemy in the past six months? There is nothing she can do in Suizhou, so why not come to Gongcheng to add trouble to her?"

Shen Changtang said: "Order to go down, go to Gongcheng first."

It has been two days, Tao Min's heart is still pounding, her face has no color, she is frightened.

She knew that the girl's safety must be a problem when she came out.

When a natural disaster strikes, no one can stop it.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.

Be good, when she thinks of the overturning carriage, the screams, and the countless mud rolling in, she is terrified from the bottom of her heart.If they were one step slower, or two steps slower, the bodies buried in the mountain mud would be theirs!
Fortunately, Miss Rong is fine, if something happened, they would not be able to survive either!

Thinking of this, Tao Min was very grateful to the "female corpse" that rushed over that day, if it hadn't been for the "female corpse" to push her...

She called the servant and said, "Go and see how the girl is hurt?"

The boy responded.After a while, she came back and said: "The injury is not serious, and I can talk." Tao Min glanced, Miss Rong hadn't gotten up yet, she thought about it, and went to the "female corpse" first, and specially instructed the servant : "If Miss Rong wakes up, tell me right away."

When Tao Min passed by, the "female corpse" had already sat up.

Tao Min suddenly felt that she was destined to die. Before she floated down from the river, she thought she was about to die, but after struggling for a few days, she was able to stand up and follow them all the way. Now she was buried in the mud for half a day, and very few survived. She happened to be the person inside.

Tao Min thinks this is a blessed person, and Yue Moo is blessed by God.

She asked: "You saved me, I won't treat you badly, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will promote you in front of Miss Rong." She looked at her carefully, and after looking at her like this, she found that if there were no scars on her face, Should be a pretty girl.

Tao Min asked, "What's your name?"

Still with a strange voice, she said, "By-tone."

Tao Min wanted to say something else, but the servant hurried over and said, "Sister Tao Min, Miss Rong is up."

Tao Min hurriedly said: "Okay, I see, I'll go over right away." Immediately, she didn't care about chasing the sound, and started to go out.At this time, Zhuyin suddenly asked, "What's Miss Rong's last name?"

Tao Min said: "Remember, our Miss Rong's surname is Li, she is a daughter of the Li family in Qingzhou, the future wife of the Hou family."

Tao Min didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there was a sneering smile on Zhuiyin's face.It's just that she can't care so much now, Miss Rong is angry about getting up, if there is something wrong when getting up, she will definitely have a hard time that day.

She hurried over to serve.

Li Rong is not as timid as Tao Min, she is a person who has seen big scenes, after resting for two days, all fears are forgotten, and she still feels that she will be blessed if she survives a catastrophe, maybe it is the blessing of Mu Yanghou .After staying in the house for two days, she felt bored again, so she summoned the servants of the Xie Mansion, and after inquiring about Mu Yanghou's deeds, she heard that there was a nuclear carver from the Shangguan's family in the Xie Mansion. .

She said to Tao Min: "Go and invite that nuclear carver over here, I want to see with my own eyes what the female nuclear carver from the Shangguan family looks like."

"Ok?"

Fan Haohe said: "Master and Madam knew that the eldest girl was in the Xie Mansion, so she didn't dare to come here. I told Mrs. Master that it is one thing for the girl to go back to Gongcheng to worship, and she has something important to do with her."

Ah Yin chuckled lightly and said, "That's not what my father asked."

Fan Haohe coughed heavily and said, "I can't hide it from the girl..."

A Yin waved her hand and said, "Don't be shy, I'm used to it. My father wants money, right? But I don't want to give it." She said in a low voice, "Obviously my grandfather's grave is very close, but he Didn't know anything about it."

As soon as Yin's grandfather's tomb was mentioned, Ah Yin's mood became heavy.

Fan Haohe changed the subject and said: "I also follow the girl's wishes, and now the whole Gongcheng knows about the tomb of Mrs. Yin."

"Where is the Xie family?"

"I'm in charge, girl, don't worry, everyone knows that magistrate Xie wants to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Ah Yin nodded, with a smile on his lips: "I'm sorry."

Fan Haohe said: "If the girl has no other orders, I will leave first." After finishing speaking, Fan Haohe took a few steps back, then turned and left.Ah Yin sighed softly, she checked the household registration documents yesterday, and there was nothing unusual.

It seems that the only one who really knows the details of my grandfather is my grandmother.

But since Ayin can remember, he has no impression of his grandmother. He once asked his grandfather, but he passed away a long time ago.

Ah Yin was thinking about it, Jiang Xuan walked in quickly and said, "Sister, it's not good!"

"I'm fine, there's nothing wrong, but you walk slowly, don't fall."

Jiang Xuan said: "No, it's really bad! Sister, there is a maid outside, called Tao Min, who said that the girl from the Li family wants to see her sister." She was a little worried, and said: "Did the girl from the Li family know What? Now come to show my sister off?"

Ah Yin said calmly: "Is there not enough people who want to see me in the past six months? According to the old rules, go and make it clear with that Tao Min girl. Don't go, let Fan Haohe go."

Jiang Xuan didn't want to go.

She is not as confident as her sister, she always feels that her family background is inferior and she doesn't have that much confidence, so she calls Fan Haohe as soon as she raises her leg.

"The female core carving artist said that her rule is to send posts one month in advance for carving cores, and see no one during the rest of the time."

Li Rong frowned immediately upon hearing this.

Is there someone she, Li Rong, can't see?To see her is to give her a long face!

She said: "The shelf is really big, I will go to meet for a while in person." After seeing it, let her carve a few more core carvings.Mu Yanghou seems to be very interested in nuclear carvings, and he went to Shangguan's house in Suizhou before.She didn't believe that the female nuclei sculptor dared to disrespect her future Mrs. Hou Fu.

After half a stick of incense, Li Rong frowned even tighter.

There was a hint of anger between her brows and eyes, and she said, "Do you know who I am?"

Fan Haohe said: "Miss Li, it's really not that our girl doesn't want to see you. My girl's grandfather's grave has been dug up recently. I have lost my appetite these days and I really don't have the strength to meet guests. If Miss Li is willing, please come again." Wait five or six days."

Only now did Li Rong's expression relax, and he said, "Is it true that you have lost your appetite?"

Fan Haohe said: "That's right."

Li Rong sneered, and said: "It just so happens that I have a good medicine from the palace, which is designed to treat loss of appetite, catch it." She touched her hand from her sleeve pocket, and threw it again, Fan Haohe subconsciously caught it.However, at this moment, there was a sound of "bang", and the smoke dispersed.

Fan Haohe was choked a few times, but he didn't realize it for a while, and was bypassed by Li Rong.

Li Rong snorted lightly.

It was a good thing, it was given to her by Mrs. Shen.Mrs. Shen's natal family is a family of generals, and there are many strange and weird self-defense items. She and Mrs. Shen are very close, and Mrs. Shen will give her many gifts every time she goes to Muyanghou's mansion.

Suddenly, two swords came out, blocking Li Rong's way.

Fan Haohe also came to his senses at this time, came back to his senses, and said: "Miss Li, please stay."

Li Rong looked coldly at the two attendants who stopped her, it was okay if she didn't look at it, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it.She has been living in Yongping since she was a child, swimming in the circle of noble girls in Yongping like a fish in water. Naturally, she knows what kind of family should match what kind of entourage. The higher the family status, the more exquisite the entourage, not the clothes. Not to mention the blade he wears, but his aura.

A good follower should be inconspicuous by the master's side, but it can play a role at critical times.

She had seen Mu Yanghou's followers, all of them were ugly, but when something happened, they were murderous, like a well-trained army.Just now when the swords of the two attendants came out, there was a cold light, if she hadn't known that this was just a nuclear carving artist, she would have thought that some of the proud sons of Yongping had come to Gongcheng.Thinking of this, Li Rong calmed down. A nuclear carving artist from the Shangguan family in Suizhou can have such an entourage. How much the emperor favors the Shangguan family.

Fan Haohe came over again and said: "Miss Li, a sword has no eyes, don't get so close, if you accidentally hurt Miss Li, it will be our fault, we are not enough to die a hundred times."

That's what he said, but there was no fear of the powerful in his tone.

Li Rong thought to herself, where does the nuclear carving artist have such confidence?It's just that she will never give up if she doesn't see the nuclear carving artist today.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a servant hurried over.

"Miss Rong, happy event!"

Tao Min quickly winked at the servant, Miss Rong is not in a good mood right now.It's not a big happy event, don't say it casually.The servant acted as if he hadn't seen him, and happily said: "Master Hou is here."

Li Rong was startled for a moment, then smiled, and said pleasantly: "It's really here?"

The servant nodded: "It's really here, and it's in Xie's mansion now."

Li Rong's joyful smile couldn't be expressed, and she immediately ignored the nuclear carving artist, and said to Tao Min: "Quick, go back and wait for me to freshen up." After speaking, he took a step and left quickly.

The two attendants put away their swords.

Fan Haohe was a little melancholy, paced around the door for a long time, and almost made the two attendants faint, so he went in again and reported to A Yin: "Miss, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not."

Ah Yin said, "If it's inappropriate to say it, then I won't say it."

Fan Haohe coughed lightly, and said: "I'm stupid, I thought about it and thought I should tell the girl."

A Yin lazily said: "Speak."

Fan Haohe said: "Master Hou is here."

As soon as these words came out, Ah Yin was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to recover, and said expressionlessly: "Oh."

Li Rong's heart was bursting with joy, her steps were as light as a flying swallow's.

Why did Marquis Mu Yang come here?
What reason is there besides her?The news that she encountered a landslide in Cangshan, Gongcheng has already been spread to Qingzhou, and I believe Yongping will know about it soon.It was just unexpected that Mu Yanghou came over.

Li Rong said to Tao Min: "Mu Yanghou must have heard the news that I was almost in danger, so he came here without stopping." She covered her mouth and smiled: "After Yucheng and Yueming knew about it, I can already imagine their expressions. It's really satisfying."

She doesn't care about nuclear carving skills at all now.

Tao Min echoed, "Yes, if Princess Yucheng and Princess Yueming knew about it, they would definitely be envious."

Li Rong said: "Dress up carefully, give me that plum blossom containing jade bud, and the suet white jade bracelet, which earrings should I wear? Is this Dongzhu earring more beautiful or the Phalaenopsis gold pendant?" "

Tao Min said: "Miss Rong looks good in everything she wears."

Li Rong said again: "Forget it, I can't dress up, I was almost in danger, so I should be more plain. Didn't he say that? He said that I am dignified and virtuous, and I don't wear earrings anymore."

Tao Min smiled again and said yes, after dressing carefully, Li Rong waited for Mu Yanghou in the courtyard.Logically speaking, if the prospective fiancée was in distress, he, the fiancé, should express condolences and say a few soft words.

Li Rong thought so beautifully that she couldn't help but smile.

But an hour later, no one came over from the courtyard gate.

The smile in Li Rong's eyes was halved, and her fingers were slightly stiff.

After another hour, the sun had risen to the highest point, and the puddle of water at the gate of the courtyard had already evaporated, but there was still no one.Li Rong became anxious and sent servants to inquire. After half a stick of incense, the servants came back.

Li Rong asked expectantly, "Where is Mr. Hou?"

The servant said: "As for Miss Hui Rong, Lord Hou is talking to Magistrate Xie, but the servants around Lord Hou told the villain that they will send the girl back to Yongping."

Li Rong who heard this was half melancholy and half happy in her heart. She was melancholy that Mu Yanghou was too indifferent in the relationship between men and women, and his prospective fiancée was here, so he didn't send anyone to condolences. If she hadn't sent someone over, I'm afraid It was silent, and I was happy that Mu Yanghou still cared about her, otherwise he would not be escorted back. Isn't this just worrying about her safety?If there is no order from Mu Yanghou, how can the followers dare to call the shots.

Li Rong nodded, feeling a little unjust in her heart.

Tao Min said: "Master Hou is a person who does great things, and he doesn't care about trivial matters. How can a strong man have tenderness? He has a heart to consider the girl's safety. Isn't it rumored in Yongping? That's what Master Hou is like. Miss Rong, please don't force too much. In Yongping, Princess Yucheng and County Lord Yueming may not even get a sympathy."

As soon as Tao Min's words came out, the grievance in Li Rong's heart gradually dissipated.

At the same time, Fan Haohe stood at the door holding a greeting card.

He was very embarrassed, he didn't go in, he didn't go out, he could only blame himself for being unlucky, he walked slowly, and was caught by Mu Yanghou's people, and asked him to send the greeting card.More than half a year ago, because of Mu Yanghou's affairs, the eldest girl beat her.

Now he is forced to accept Mu Yanghou's post, and I don't know if the eldest girl will think too much.

While Fan Haohe was hesitating, he met Jiang Xuan.

As if he had been pardoned, he looked at her like a savior, and said: "Miss Axuan, I have something to do right now. This is a greeting card from a nobleman, saying it is for the eldest girl."

Jiang Xuan said: "Mu Yanghou's?"

"……Yes."

She said, "No."

Fan Haohe smiled awkwardly, but he didn't dare to force Jiang Xuan, so he could only go in with a bitter face and give the greeting card.He said very seriously: "Miss, I was really forced to receive the post. You also know that the people around Lord Hou are very aggressive. I can't refuse."

Ah Yin said: "Mu Yanghou has always been strong."

She took the greeting card and opened it to have a look.

Fan Haohe breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Madam, do you want to reply? The attendant outside hasn't left yet."

Ah Yin said: "Old rules." As he spoke, he ordered in a neutral tone: "Tonight, everyone must be careful, all doors and windows must be guarded, and anyone who lets a fly in will be punished." .”

"...Yes." Fan Haohe left with a bitter face again, went out of the courtyard, saw the attendants hidden in the treetops, and politely refused.He didn't dare to repeat what the flies said.

Jiang Xuan pulled a chair and sat down, and asked Ah Yin what to eat tonight.

Ah Yin said, "It's fine, I'm not picky."

Jiang Xuan picked up the teacup, handed her a cup, and said, "Then eat Sixi meatballs. Gongcheng's meatballs are better than Suizhou's meatballs, and the meat is extra chewy." Seeing Ah Yin lift up the cup, Tilt your neck slightly.

Jiang Xuan sighed, and said, "Sister, actually I don't blame Mu Yanghou. I'm just an outsider. I was already very grateful to him for being merciful to Lu Lan. Sister, don't be angry with Lord Hou because of me."

Ah Yin was slightly taken aback.

Jiang Xuan said: "My sister has Mu Yanghou in her heart, right? Otherwise, with such a good young master in the past half a year, my sister should have been tempted. If there is no one in her heart, how can she be indifferent to the young master, and how can she be absent-minded at this moment? Even I didn't pour tea and didn't notice. My sister is usually as careful as dust, but she is not like today."

Ah Yin looked down, only to realize that Jiang Xuan poured empty tea, and cast a glance at her.

Jiang Xuan was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm serious."

Ah Yin poured a cup of tea by himself, and after drinking half a cup, he said: "Ah Xuan, it's not your problem, the relationship between me and him was probably wrong from the beginning. I always thought it was a matter of inappropriate marriage , but after thinking about it, it’s actually not.”

Jiang Xuan asked, "What's the problem?"

Ah Yin said: "It's because he doesn't like me enough, and I don't like him enough either." Therefore, when something happens, it is as fragile as a bubble, and it shatters without a trace when it is poked.

Jiang Xuan was silent for a long while after hearing this, and then asked, "Sister, is it true that you don't plan to see Mu Yanghou?"

A Yin said without hesitation: "No see!"

It was also at this time that Fan Haohe came in again, and A Yin gave him a cold look as soon as he came in.Fan Hao's heart trembled, and he said quickly: "Miss, I declined, this time it's the invitation from magistrate Xie."

As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Xuan asked curiously: "What kind of invitation did the magistrate Xie bring? If you have something to say, just send someone to say it."

Fan Haohe took a look at Ah Yin, and then said: "The county magistrate Xie held a dust-cleaning banquet for Mu Yanghou, and invited the girl to come." Before he finished speaking, he saw his eldest girl frowned fiercely.

Fan Haohe coughed lightly and asked, "Miss, are you going?"
