Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Four

Liu Qixiu herself also understood what Zhao Yang meant, and she didn't show any displeasure on her face, but still politely invited Zhao Yang to sit in the main room, and asked the servant girl to serve tea and fruit.

It seems like treating a guest with courtesy and restraint.

But it was also because of this that it made Zhao Yang feel depressed for no reason.

This hall is both familiar and strange.

But this time, it made Zhao Yang face up to the fact that he was not the young master of this mansion once again.Although he was at Qing Huan's place just now, he didn't like others calling him Young Master, but this title represented a memory from Zhao Yang's past.That memory contains his grandmother, as well as the memories of being young and frivolous.

"Your third brother went out to meet guests." Liu Qixiu said with a faint smile, "It's just that grandma is gone, and grandfather can't remember the past. Some connections in the Hou's residence are no longer what they used to be. Many things could have been resolved immediately. Now I can only run errands by myself.”

Zhao Yang pursed his lips.

He had never known about these things, because after all, there was a gap between the people in this mansion, and it could be seen from the moment he came back, he took people outside to set up the mansion.

Of course, this is only one aspect. Another convenience seems to be that the emperor also wanted him to be a lone minister, at least when he was still in power.

However, he will not have many friends in the future.

Even if he wanted to help, there was nowhere to say it. Zhao Yang twitched the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Liu Qixiu didn't intend to do anything to him either.

It's just two uncles and sisters-in-law, they are lonely and widowed, it's very embarrassing, so Gu Er just randomly found a topic to talk about.Obviously, such a topic made Zhao Yang silent.

Liu Qixiu sighed, and asked again: "Where did you come back from?"

It was not too late to ask casually.

When Zhao Yang replied that he was at the house of Cong Rongchen and Qing Huan, and that he had just come back here, he finally had a moved expression on his face.

"You...have a good relationship with Master Rong?" Liu Qixiu chose her words carefully: "It seems that I haven't heard you say it before?"

Zhao Yang glanced at her and asked strangely: "It was not good before."

That is to say, after returning.

But also...

Liu Qixiu lowered her head and frowned, as if she was troubled.

Zhao Yang could completely ignore it, but he still couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter? If there is anything I can help, just tell me, but Mr. Rong can't help, so I can't say it here." OK."

With his current status, there are quite a few people who want to make friends with him.

Gu Er's words were not empty words.

But instead Liu Qixiu hesitated.

When Zhao Yang did this, his stubborn temper came up again.Although he has changed his temper a lot, there is no way he can completely change his former temper.

The young master's temper still exists.

This is why, Qing Huan often spoils him and talks.

In fact, in his heart, he still regards Zhao Yang as the bright and flamboyant young master from before.

"If it's okay, then I'll go." Zhao Yang stood up, not wanting to chat.

Liu Qixiu hesitated again and again, but just went out to see her off.

Zhao Yang sighed, and just said: "Qing Huan once said that you are her favorite cousin." Therefore, if something happens, it would be better to come directly to the door.

After all, when Zhao Yang left the Hou Mansion, he pulled the former old housekeeper and talked about what happened in Beijing recently, which made him strengthen his manpower tremendously.

The old butler choked: "Young Lord, you really won't come back. Old madam..."

"I'm no longer a young master." Zhao Yang interrupted the old housekeeper: "It's okay if you don't hang up. If something happens, the old housekeeper can always help me if someone informs me."

The old butler is everything.

After Zhao Yang left, the old butler told Liu Qixiu what he had said before.

Liu Qixiu was silent for a while, then nodded: "Then let him do what he wants, and let people patrol in shifts."

The old butler should go down to help.

And Liu Qixiu went back to the courtyard and thought for a long time, but still didn't make up his mind whether to go to Qinghuan or not.After all, no matter what, now that she is the first wife of Hou, she is going to ask for Qinghuan's affairs.

She herself doesn't care much.

But what about the face of the Yongyi Hou Mansion?Since she became a housewife, she had to maintain it, and her man didn't go out to socialize just for the sake of the brave mansion.

Liu Qixiu was in a dilemma.

I also remembered that Zhao Yang said that Qing Huan liked her.

Although I didn't ask, I remembered that she once commented on her beauty.

Is the scenery like the moon?
Maybe it was in the past, but now it probably won't be possible anymore.

Liu Qixiu had to hesitate for a while.

But what happened five days later made him unable to hesitate any longer.

That day, it wasn't just him.

Even Qing Huan herself was taken aback, and every time she thought about it, she felt uneasy.

That day was the same as usual.

It's just that when eating at night, he couldn't wait for Rong Chen to come home.

Only Rong Quan came back with a message.

Qing Huan learned that Rong Chen was temporarily busy today and couldn't leave, maybe he couldn't come back tonight, so she could only sigh, and asked someone to bring food over, and had dinner with brother Jin, mother and son.

The weather was fine that night.

With Rong Chen's hard work these days, Rong Jin was able to talk about his father and mother well.But the second word that can speak is uncle.

For this reason, Yan Jun was very happy, and Zhao Yang, who was not the first to hear about Rong Chen's black face, was also satisfied.

And Qing Huan's complexion is not very good.

Afterwards, Rong Chen was not the only one, she herself joined the struggle inside.

In the end, Brother Jin didn't disappoint the two of them. The third and fourth words he knew were parents.For this reason, Qing Huan has been with Brother Jin these days.

The mother and son will also go to the garden before going to bed.

The people who lived next to the garden were Xu Lan and Xiao Wu, but after Xu Lan disappeared, Xiao Wu was arranged to move to another courtyard that was more secluded, but it was also farther away from the ground courtyard.

And about Xu Lan.

After Rong Chen found out, the Xu family really broke out.

Qing Huan didn't speak at that time, and only when Mrs. Xu came over did she tell her about Xu Lan.

Xu's face was ugly when he went back, and he didn't go back to Cheng's mansion, but let the carriage go directly to Xu's mansion, and then there was a lot of cursing.

After facing the Xu family's unreasonable and aggressive behavior, the Xu family was so angry that she said that she would no longer care about her family's affairs and went back.Afterwards, the matter of the Xu family was silently resolved by Cheng Jingxin and Rong Chen under the signal of the Cheng family.

Afterwards, when Xu thought about it.

Li Wanyin said that the Xu family came to the house several times to make trouble.

Because of this, Xu Shi became angry again, his heart softened a little, but he hardened his heart again.

"It's windy outside, should you bring a blanket?" Ling Lu asked.

Mama Xia now lives more and more in Princess Danyang's mansion, so she only comes to visit after a few days.The last time I came here was two days ago, before leaving, I told Ling Lu to take care of Qing Huan and Rong Jin.

Ling Lu didn't dare to be careless.

Coupled with getting married, there are many things to think about.

Although it is not as comprehensive as the creeper, it does not fall in the slightest, but it still makes people feel caring.

"Then bring it." Qing Huan nodded: "Get some more food for Brother Jin, I'm afraid he's hungry, so he didn't eat much during dinner."

"The young master must miss the master." Seeing his listless appearance, Xiang Nong said with a smile.

Qing Huan lowered her head and pressed against Brother Jin's cheek.

Rong Jin buried her head in Qing Huan's embrace embarrassingly.

Qing Huan laughed for a long time before taking a breath.

A group of people went to the garden.

A woman led the way with a lantern in front.

Qing Huan walked slowly with Brother Jin in his arms.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Ling Lu asked, "Madam, why don't you let me hug the young master?"

In order to coax Brother Jin, Qing Huan started hugging him while eating.

Now his arm is so sore, he was naturally happy to hear Linglu's words, handed brother Jin in his arms, and carefully wrapped it up with a blanket.

A group of people walked for more than half an hour, and it was considered a digestion.

Qing Huan just planned to go back.

"Who's there?" Suddenly Youyuan shouted loudly.

Qing Huan's eyes flickered.

Directly at the bushes, someone flashed past.

Qing Huan seemed to see a flash of silver light and was shocked, but she didn't dare to let people pass by.

A woman has already gone to call someone.

Qing Huan frowned, watching the figure seem to be running towards the wall.

It's just that maybe it was because it was too dark, or maybe it was some other reason, I was a little panicked, bumped into something several times, and then went around again.

Qing Huan asked Ling Lu to hide beside the tree with the child in her arms.

Her side has been noticed.

And in the current situation, it is not sure whether the figure is alone or has an accomplice.What if there are friends?The people in my group are all weak women, how can I beat them.

And obviously came with a murder weapon.

Qing Huan had a flash of inspiration, and quickly thought of what happened in Beijing during this period, and couldn't help holding her breath.

Soon, the steward led a group of servants and hurried over with a copy in his hand.

Qing Huan said: "Just now I saw someone passing by over there, it seems to have climbed out of the wall. You take someone to look outside the wall, and you must search the garden inch by inch, don't let anyone hide here .”

"Also...the people in the front yard and the inner yard were also called up, regardless of whether they were female relatives or not, they were divided into two groups, and they were alert to each other." Qing Huancong felt that the person just now was a little weird.

Maybe come back later.

Besides, didn't they say that they are not allowed to miss?
Qing Huan really didn't dare to be careless.

When the group of them returned to the main courtyard, they saw the flustered expressions on the faces of the servants. They thought that the news about their visit to the back garden had already been passed on.

"Madam, what can I do, the master is not here."

Qing Huan snorted coldly: "Don't say that the master is not here, even if the master is here, there is no use for an extra male. After thinking about it so much, why not go down and prepare."

Everyone's complexion is not good.

Qing Huan said again: "Don't worry, the housekeeper has already arranged for someone to patrol, besides, someone from the government has also gone to notify."

I heard that it is already a reporter.

Everyone also fell silent.

In addition, what happened several times was that there were too many arsons, and Qing Huan gave money to comfort them, so everyone went down to obey the steward's order.

Qing Huan returned to the main room.

Osmanthus was comforting Rong Jin who was a little scared.

"Mother..." Rong Jin stretched out his arms when he saw Qing Huan approaching.

Qing Huan stepped forward to hug her, and said in a low voice, "Brother Jin is not afraid."

Rong Jin's eyelashes fluttered.

Qing Huan sighed: "It's okay, nothing will happen."

In fact, she was also very flustered.In the past, it was the female relatives who used nothing but tricks and framing.But this time he was actually targeted.

And those people are the most barbaric, who will reason with you.

Although a series of arrangements had already been made and someone was sent to find Rong Chen, Qing Huan still couldn't feel relieved.

It was night, and the main room was brightly lit.

Qing Huan hugged Rong Jin in her arms, and sat quietly in the room.

until the door was knocked open.

Zero exposed to open the door.

Youyuan got in.

"lady……"

Qing Huan frowned.

Ling Lu thought for a while and walked outside, then quickly closed the door.

"Is there any news from the master?"

Youyuan shook his head: "Master was never found in the past."

Qing Huan's heart skipped a beat, she just felt that something might be wrong.

"Ma'am..." Youyuan shouted nervously.

Qing Huan shook her head: "When you passed by, what happened on the way?"

"The situation? No," Youyuan shook her head, puzzled.

Qing Huan sighed, she should have arranged for Xiang Nong to go there if she knew earlier.Although she is not as careful as Mancao, she is still a calm person with good observation skills.

At least he can discover some things that Yudoka doesn't know.

But now... I can't let another person pass by.

Besides, Xiang Nong was called by her to find Yan Jun and Qiao Chu, and even told her not to come back at all, and to take good care of her there.But now on my side...

Qing Huan hugged Brother Jin in her arms, with frowning brows.

I just hope I'm wrong.

Even thinking too much.

"By the way, Linglu." Qing Huan shouted outside.

Ling Lu ran in.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"Rongquan is not there, there is her and a child over there with the vines, but what's the best way to do it."

Zero Lu's eyes lit up.

The vines were picked up quickly.

"Madam, why don't we run away." Mancao suggested after hearing what happened before and after.

Qing Huan shook her head: "Not right."

Of course, this was her plan from the very beginning. She also has a few shops in this place, and she went there temporarily to occupy a residence.

But if someone is blocking it outside.

Don't ask her why, since Yan Jun said that this matter is not simple, there are those princes behind it.

In addition, recently, Rong Chen couldn't come back by himself.

Qing Huan could only think of two words.

mutiny!

He didn't expect it to be so fast.

But it is true.

Qing Huan frowned, having a headache.

"How about we hide, the mansion is so big, we should not be in the main courtyard."

Qing Huan shook her head again.

Rong Chen is not here, she is the core here.

You can hide, but you shouldn't hide before things happen.

Just Rong Jin's words?

Qing Huan went to see Brother Jin who had forgotten her fear on the bed and was staring at the weed child curiously without blinking, but she couldn't put him in danger.

Qing Huan took a deep breath.

"Crawler."

Mancao was taken aback.

Qing Huan looked at her fixedly.

……

After one night, the soldiers and horses of the rebellion were finally captured.

With a tired face, Rong Chen took Rong Quan back.

But not far from home, when he saw the rising smoke, his expression changed, and he galloped wildly.

"Master..." Rong Quan was also filled with fear.

Knowing that when I went back to take the talk yesterday, I was still doing well.

But don't let anything happen.

Rong Chen also regretted it in his heart, but at that time he couldn't get away at all, even the arrangement was careful, and even the emperor's people were watching beside him.

Just a little news can't be passed on.

But the result...

As soon as Rong Chen reached the gate, he dismounted from his horse.

Then I heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother-in-law."

When Rong Chen turned around and saw that it was Yan Jun, he just nodded slightly and rushed inside.

Yan Jun hurriedly got out of the carriage.

Yesterday, he had a notice from Xiang Nong, so he took people to a store closest to the palace one step earlier to take a rest temporarily.It was also because of this that he escaped.

Unexpectedly, something happened in my sister's house.

Yan Jun never thought that her sister would just sit and wait for death, she fully thought that she would know and hid early.

"Go there first and see what's going on with my sister." Qiao Chu in the carriage said very understandingly.

Yan Jun hummed and ran inside.

On the way, he caught a servant and asked, "What happened last night, where is your wife?"

"I don't know, ah, I don't know. A lot of people came in, and it was all blood." The man also had blood on his body.

Yan Jun's heart sank.

Rong Chen couldn't wait to run to the main courtyard.

Compared with the gate, the main courtyard is even more messy.

The house was burned to charcoal.

The uneasiness and fear in Rong Chen's heart gradually expanded, and he only hoped to see a living Qing Huan, and nothing else mattered.

"Master." A scream was heard suddenly.

Rong Chen turned around abruptly, and saw Xiaoyuan hugging brother Jin whose eyes were swollen from crying.

But Qing Huan was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's your wife?" Rong Chen stepped forward quickly, grabbing Youyuan's arm.

Very strong.

Youyuan was in excruciating pain.

Rong Jin suddenly burst into tears.

"Madam, Madam is fine." Youyuan said enduring the pain.

Rong Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and took Brother Jin over.

"Daddy..."

Rong Jin cried desperately: "Daddy, I'm afraid."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Rong Chen regretted endlessly, how could he be so confident.

"Didn't you go out to hide yesterday?"

Only then did You Yuan say: "There is no way he can't go out, but as soon as this person goes out, he disappears."

Rong Chen was shocked.

But I didn't expect someone outside to guard it.

"It's getting darker and darker, Madam wants to go out to hide, at least it's okay to let the young master go out. It's just that I let a maid go out in Madam's clothes, and the person disappeared."

Gone?

What's gone?
Rong Chen kept trying to stop himself from thinking about bad things, but he couldn't stop.

"What about your wife now?"

Youyuan said with red eyes: "Madam, it's at Aunt Wu's side."

Rong Chen pursed his lips.

At this time, Yan Jun arrived, and he was relieved to see Brother Jin who was safe and sound, but Qing Huan could not be seen from the left and right, and his face immediately changed again.
