Chapter 720 Another Seven Days
is her?

How is it possible, why is she here?
Xiao Nan rubbed his eyes hard, instinctively thinking that he was delusional, and saw a person who could not appear here.

She quickened her pace and quickly chased after the place where the figure disappeared.

Honghua, Hongye and the others reacted very quickly, almost as soon as Xiao Nan's figure shook, they followed without moving an inch.

Although they don't know what happened to the master today, but protecting the safety of the master is their only duty, and Honghua is very clear about the importance.

Xiao Nan chased from the small courtyard all the way to the corridor on the other side, looking at the empty long corridor with no one there, she held on to the pillar and panted slightly.

People are missing?

Or was she really wrong just now?

Seeing that Xiao Nan was sweating from running, Hong Hua hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and spread it on the railing of the corridor, supported Xiao Nan's arm, and said softly: "Madam, please sit down and rest for a while. Bar."

Xiao Nan didn't refuse, and slowly sat on the railing.

After panting for breath, Xiao Nan raised his head and asked with a slight frown: "Safflower, you were in the small courtyard just now, have you ever seen any strange people?"

Hong Hua was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head left and right to look at her companions gathered around her, and asked silently with her eyes.

Hong Calyx, Hong Jiao, and Hong Sang tried their best to recall for a moment, then shook their heads together.

"Ma'am, the servant girls didn't see anything strange."

Honghua didn't dare to say that the master was blind, but she was quite confident in her six senses, she paused for a moment in embarrassment, and said: "However, there are many trees around, maybe someone is hiding in it, but the servants didn't find it... …How about this, the maidservants will go and search around again?!"

Xiao Nan wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, turned his head to look at the empty corridor, and after a while, said quietly: "No need, maybe I'm blind, it's getting late, let's go back."

She must be delusional, otherwise... Xiao Nan didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Xiao Nan's heart became heavier, she stood up slowly, and walked towards the front hall.

Honghua and the others didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly followed.

After walking a dozen steps, when Xiao Nan and the others turned around the corridor, she suddenly turned her head and gave Hong Hua a wink.

The red flower knew it, and flew up to the roof of the corridor, her limbs firmly clung to the carved crossbar on the roof of the corridor, and then quietly climbed back along the crossbar little by little.

Xiao Nan, Hong Jiao and the others kept walking, as if nothing had happened, and continued to move forward.

Back in the small courtyard, Xiao Nan was not in the mood to go for a walk in the room where he 'used to' live, but stood under the porch outside the door full of thoughts, waiting quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, a swift figure of Hong Hua floated in from outside the courtyard, came to Xiao Nan's side, and replied in a low voice: "The servant girl chased along the corridor to the east courtyard, whether it is the flowers and trees on both sides or the rockery, Still in the rooms on the east side courtyard, the maid did not find anything unusual."

She even went up to the roof of the veranda, the roof of the east courtyard, and a well behind the courtyard to check carefully, but she still didn't find the 'strange person' that Xiao Nan mentioned.

"Hu~~"

Xiao Nan let out a long breath, Gao Xuan's heart was finally relieved, "It seems that I was really wrong. Hong Hua, thank you for your hard work!"

Honghua and Hongjiao hurriedly clasped their fists in salute, but dared not even say so.

"Let's go, the auspicious time is coming, we still have to pray for Grandma, don't miss the time."

Xiao Nan stepped down the steps, she is not a Buddhist, she can not attend the enthronement ceremony of Master Xuanzang, but she cannot be absent to pray for the blessings of her real grandmother.

"Yes!"

Hong Hua followed closely behind, and slowly followed Xiao Nan out of the small courtyard, and returned to the front hall along the original road.

Just as the figures of Xiao Nan and the others disappeared on the path outside the courtyard, a wet woman emerged from a pool not far from the small courtyard.

I saw her struggling to swim from the pool to the shore, holding back the water for a long time, and she hadn't exercised for a long time, it was really unbearable.

After finally climbing to the bluestone on the bank, she hugged the rock with one hand, beat her chest with the other hand, spit out some water, then turned over and lay down on the bluestone board weakly.

"I knew that Mrs. Xiao was cunning, but I didn't expect her eyes to be so good, she almost saw her..."

The woman was wet all over, but fortunately it was midsummer, and it was close to noon, and the sun in the sky was just right, so she didn't catch cold from the pool water all over her head and body.

Thinking that there was no one around, the woman also let go of her reserve, spread her hands and feet in a big character shape, and while enjoying the sunbath, she was secretly proud of herself: So what about Xiao's cunning, what about her female guards being alert, and what about her? Not to lie to her.

Then she murmured in her heart: I was avoiding Xiao Shi like this, not because I was really afraid of her, but because I didn't have the right time.

Hmph, I only stayed for today... Xiao Shi, just wait for me!

Xiao Nan, who was being talked about by others, didn't even sneezed. At this time, she was chatting with a few acquainted ladies.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I also received a letter from the branch school yesterday. Principal Cui said that the students are doing well in Lishan,"

Xiao Nan smiled amiably, with a bit of admiration in his tone, and said softly: "Especially your little Shiro, who runs in the mountains every morning, and the little man next to him will feel a little uncomfortable. Like a little tiger returning to the forest... Tsk tsk, what a tiger father and no son."

Or tiger mothers have no dogs? !

The noble lady who talked to Xiao Nan was not an outsider, but Ah Ming's sister-in-law and Shi Yang's wife, Cheng Shi.

The Xiao Shiro Xiao Nan talked about was Cheng's youngest son, who was only five years old this year, just old enough to enter the first grade of Jiwei College. On the second day of February this year, he was kicked into the Qiusuo Hall by Cheng's.

Half a month ago, when the students collectively moved to Lishan, the historian Koshiro also moved with the large group.

Although Cheng didn't stop her, she was still full of reluctance and worry.

Her fourth son is only five years old, such a young child is far away from his grandfather, parents and relatives, and has no one to serve him, how can Cheng not worry about it.

However, there is no way to do this, who made Shi Yang's position so sensitive.

In the past ten years, through Mrs. Cheng's unremitting efforts and strict training, the playboy Shi Yang's children's shoes, who were as famous as Cui Youbo, have changed now.

No more cockfighting with a group of second-generation ancestors, no more showing mercy, and no more wives or illegitimate children... My private life is a mess, and I have made a lot of progress.

Especially in martial arts, they are improving by leaps and bounds (Shi Yang cried: If you don't improve, you can't do it, the force value of the lady's thugs is too strong).

In order not to get beaten, oh, that’s wrong, it’s so that his son can inherit his father’s career and shine in the family. Shi Yang went to the martial arts field to practice martial arts in the morning, went back to the study to recite the art of war in the afternoon, and was taught the art of war by his ears at night. He was so busy all day long. If you have a little free time, you still have to teach your son.

Cheng's is also quite good at calculating time. Under such a busy situation, Shi Yang has no time to go out and spend time.

What's more, "Cui Jia Yulang", who was famous all over the capital in those days, washed his feet and went ashore and started a new life. Now he still looks very powerful and promising.

Shi Yang, as a friend who was once as famous as Cui Youbo (doting concubines and destroying wives), has no reason not to follow the right path.

After ten years of hard work, coupled with Shi Zhong's operation, Shi Yang held a sword (郞卫) for the first emperor, served as a personal guard for the present, went to the battlefield, and led the army to suppress bandits... Rich experience and beautiful files .

Moreover, according to the gossip from Ah Ming, Shi Yang also loved the cosplay business for a while, and once played with the new prince who was still a prince in the scene of Turkic people stealing cattle.

Although this news has not been officially confirmed, one thing is very clear, that is, Shi Yang has a good relationship with today.

No, last year the emperor appointed him as Habayashi Zhonglang General. His official position is the fourth rank and lower rank. It seems that he is not very high, but where is the Habayashi Army, it is extremely rare for the emperor to be able to mix with a personal guard in it.

If you want to be an official in China, you must be a person who is extremely trusted and valued by the emperor.

Moreover, Shi Yang is not very old this year. At the age of 33 or [-], it is not easy to be a fourth-rank military general and possess real power.

In terms of 'supervising' her husband to make progress, Cheng's can definitely be called a model.

Therefore, despite the fact that among the noble ladies present, Cheng's imperial edict is not very high, but everyone's attitude towards her is very cordial.

Xiao Nan, on the other hand, directly followed Ah Ming and called her 'Sister-in-law'.

After hearing Xiao Nan's words, Cheng smiled gently, just looking at her gentle and virtuous appearance, no one would have thought that she would command a group of strong women to beat her husband half to death.

Sometimes when he was in a bad mood, Cheng would personally copy the knife and go into battle, beating Shi Yang until he screamed.

It can be said that the Cheng family played a vital role in Shi Yang's force value soaring so fast in a few years.

"Qiao Mu is joking again. I'm thankful that my little Shiro can obediently listen to his master. You still praise him?"

Although Cheng said that, she couldn't hide the pride on her face: her sons are all excellent.She can even get a husband like Zha Cheng on the right track, let alone her well-behaved and obedient children.

While the two were talking, a servant came running out of breath and told the ladies that the blessing ceremony was about to begin, and everyone was invited to go.

Mrs. Cheng winked at her, then mixed into the group of ladies and walked out together.

Xiao Nan nodded knowingly, turned around to find the female family members of the Cui family, and went with Zheng Shi, Wang Shi and others.

The blessing ceremony was grand, and the emperor, empress, several princes, and princesses all strictly followed the procedure or knelt down, or worshiped, or burned incense, or prayed.

The person who presided over the ceremony was not an outsider, but Master Xuanzang, the first abbot of Ci'en Temple.

The royal relatives, honorable courtiers and female family members also all had solemn expressions and saluted without any mistakes.

With the sound of drums and music, bursts of wooden fish, and a touch of sandalwood in the air, the whole blessing ceremony was quiet, solemn, solemn and tender.

Affected by this atmosphere, the emperor thought of A Niang's kindness, and couldn't help but burst into tears. After the ceremony, he firmly stated that he would fast for seven days in Daci'en Temple and continue to pray for Empress Dowager Wende.

After hearing this 'seven days', many people couldn't help but frown, why is it seven days again? !
