Second-hand lady

Chapter 154

Tired from shopping, the two families chose a restaurant on the street to rest.

Sitting in a seat by the window, you can see the street view below when you look up. Two rows of red lanterns spread all the way in mid-air. On the river bank farther away, the lights are brilliant and the view is excellent.

After having some refreshments, the children stayed impatiently. It was really strange to see a fat tiger-shaped lantern hanging on a small stall at the street below. The children all shouted to see the lantern. Fat Tiger Lantern.

Because the distance was not far away, Wen Liang smiled and asked the maid and guards to take the children there, and gave them a few instructions before letting them go down.When the children left, Wen Yanping also took the opportunity to smear his footsteps.It's just that she didn't slip fast enough, but was caught by Xiang Qingchun, who said to Wen Liang: "Teacher, my junior brother and I went to the big locust tree by the river to make a wish."

Hearing this, Anyang Wang and his wife had strange expressions on their faces, Xiang Qingchun smiled frankly, but the little girl looked confused and reluctant.

Wen Liang looked at the reluctance on the little girl's face, then at the handsome young man Yan Yan, and nodded with a smile.

Wen Yanping looked at Mrs. Wen incredulously, with an expression of "Are you still my father?" Wen Liang couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. If it wasn't her father, why would he work so hard to plan for her.Although I also know her ambition, I will not marry in this life, and I will experience the north and south of the river.But Wen Liang doesn't want her to be lonely all her life, and hopes that a man who loves her will take care of her, warm her heart, and let her live a peaceful and beautiful life.And Xiang Qingchun's character is very clear to him, and he knows that this disciple has some eccentricities. With Xiang Qingchun's paranoid aesthetics, he might never look at other women in his life, so Wen Yanping is the only one.

Based on various considerations, Wen Liang is extremely satisfied with Xiang Qingchun's son-in-law.Leaving aside Xiang Qingchun himself, if Xiang Qingchun really dares to do something wrong to his righteous daughter in the future, Wen Liang doesn't mind grinding this kid up a bit, as he has the status of a mentor, there are many things he can do.

Wen Yanping was reluctantly carried by Xiang Qingchun to the big locust tree by the river.

There are many young people standing under the big locust tree, most of them are young couples. They bought cut paper from a small stall nearby, wrote their wishes on it, and then used the small ladder next to the rental to hang the paper on the On the branch of locust tree.It is said that this locust tree was planted here by a loving couple when the state of Chu was founded. Later, the husband went to the battlefield and never came back. The wife watered the locust tree every day with all her heart.After hundreds of years, this big locust tree has grown bigger and bigger, and has been endowed with magical colors. During the festivals, many people come here to make wishes.

Wen Yanping had a dull face, knowing the strange eyes of the people around him. The people who came here to make a wish were all young couples, but now they are two men, what do people think?
Xiang Qingchun bought a piece of paper, pulled Wen Yanping over, and looked at her with a smile, "Little brother, let's make a wish together." Although they are not husband and wife now, they both wrote down their wish on a piece of paper, It is also a good sign that they will become husband and wife in the future.

It's a pity that Wen Yanping didn't have the romantic feelings of a girl, so he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted: "Why are you so stingy? You write your own, and I will write mine." Then he wanted to buy another piece of paper and came back, but was caught by the side People stopped.

Xiang Qingchun was so pissed off by the incomprehensible little girl, but he had to force a smile and asked her to write down her wishes on the paper first, but they were all for the safety of her family. When she finished writing, Xiang Qingchun Qingchun took the pen, wrote a few words in the small corner beside it, then went up the small ladder by himself, and hung the paper on a branch.

Seeing his serious face, Wen Yanping was a little puzzled, and when he came down, he said, "Why are you so serious? Let me tell you, if you want to make a wish, it's more sincere to go to the temple to burn incense."

Xiang Qingchun also experienced the distressed feeling of not being a lover. The little girl has no affection for him at all, which makes him very frustrated, but he has known this for a long time, especially after knowing that she has praised the Xijun Palace several times. When I saw the fifth girl in my family, I knew that she actually liked girls more, which was related to her always ignoring her gender.Even so, he is not one to give up lightly. Although it is just brotherhood now, after marrying her back home, the two get along day and night, and their relationship will always change.Just like when he got along with her during his youth and youth, he gradually fell in love with her—although at first he thought this relationship was an immoral love, if she became his wife in the future, she would gradually fall in love with him.

He can wait.

After making a wish, the two walked along the river bank, watching various lanterns on both banks, as well as dragon and lion dances and juggling on stilts on the high platform in the distance.

But before the two of them went far, they were stopped by the bodyguards of the Wen residence who had found them, and Wen Liang asked them to go back because Guigui was lost.

Wen Yanping was in a daze, and when he understood the guard's words, he was out of his wits and exclaimed, "What's going on?"

The guard also had a bad face, and replied: "A few young masters went to watch a juggling show together earlier, but there were so many people that they were squeezed out. Your lord has sent someone to look for it."

After listening, Wen Yanping didn't care about other things anymore, and Xiang Qingchun hurriedly followed the guards back. When they arrived at the previous restaurant, they went straight to the second floor, and saw Ru Cui hugging A Xue and Chang Chang to comfort him, looking worriedly at him. Looking out of the window, as if she could see her daughter in the crowd like this, Princess Anyang was comforting, Wen Liang and King Anyang were listening to what the guards reported, and Erbao was hugging her two younger brothers to comfort her.

"Father, is my sister really missing?"

Wen Liang glanced at her, and after listening to the guard's report and letting him go out again, Fang said to Wen Yanping: "Well, Guigui and Prince Anyang's son disappeared together."

Wen Yanping heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, and hurriedly asked, "But the two of you disappeared together?"

Wen Liang forced a smile and said: "I wasn't sure before, but just now the guards came to report that someone saw a boy who looked exactly like Prince Anyang's son with Guigui, but it seemed that they were purposefully separated, probably those who saw their appearance It's done by the handsome kidnappers who have evil intentions. It's okay if they are ordinary kidnappers, but it's troublesome for those experienced kidnappers." As he said, a look of cruelty flashed across his eyes.

Xiang Qingchun, who was facing him, saw it clearly, and knew that although Wen Liang usually seemed to be beautiful, with cunning methods, and seemingly benevolent, he was a cunning and treacherous person. It didn't end well.

King Anyang looked angry, and kicked the stool next to him away. The stool hit the wall and shattered. It can be seen that his feet are quite solid, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face: "Okay, okay, the emperor's feet are also If you dare to do such unrighteous things, if you let me know who dares to harm them, I will not take his skin off."

Although the momentum was loud, the children were not frightened by the adults holding them at this time.When King Anyang was still the eldest son, he was a well-known evil star in the capital. He dared to provoke anyone, acted recklessly, bullied men and women, and was notorious in the capital.Later, after getting married, he was demoted to the fiefdom for beating the Nanyue prince. After a few years, he was recalled to Beijing by the Holy Master, but he restrained himself a lot.But now his eldest son is also missing along with him. It is said that King Anyang dotes on his eldest son the most. .

Wen Liang comforted: "Your son is clever and strong, so I'm not afraid of them being disadvantaged. I'm just afraid that there are many kidnappers and they are used to using low-level tricks. It's better to find them first."

Wen Yanping on the side looked impatient. No matter how powerful Dabao was, she knew that the little sister was the most timid. If she was kidnapped, she would have to be frightened and distressed. She wished she could find her right away and rescue her. She came out, but let her be in a hurry, but Wen Liang didn't let her follow the guards to find someone.

After two quarters of an hour, another guard came back.

This guard is not the guard of Wen Mansion, but the guard of Anyang Prince's Mansion, and it is different from ordinary guards, others don't feel much, but Wen Yanping, who also possesses martial arts, can see that compared with ordinary guards, he has more inner strength. Yun Yun is different, but looks like a hidden guard in the palace.However, compared to her own, the martial arts of these hidden guards are even worse, one can imagine the high martial arts skills of the master she worshiped back then.

Sure enough, the guards did come to report the good news. They found the traces of the two children, but judging from the situation, it seemed that the two children were taken out of the city in a coma.Since today is the Lantern Festival, the gates of the city will be closed an hour later than usual, giving those kidnappers a chance to take advantage of it.

"Chu San, can you see clearly?" King Anyang asked.

Chu San nodded, "This subordinate looks at their route, it should be going to Lingrong County outside the city. Moreover, those kidnappers are brightly dressed, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. They don't look like kidnappers, so the guards guarding the city didn't see clearly, thinking They brought their children into the city to watch the lanterns."

After Chu San finished speaking, Wen Yanping took action, and hurriedly said to Wen Liang: "Father, I'm good at martial arts, why don't you let me check it out first, and if it's suitable, I'll go rescue Dabao and my sister."

Wen Liang only pondered for a while, knowing that what she said was reasonable, he nodded.

Wen Yanping was about to leave, but who knew that Xiang Qingchun would also accompany him, which made Wen Yanping unhappy, what would a weak scholar who doesn't know martial arts do with him?
Regarding Wen Yan's usual behavior of treating herself as a weak scholar, Xiang Qingchun didn't take it seriously at the beginning, but later saw that it was profitable, so he endured it, so seeing her displeased face at this time, although he felt aggrieved, he didn't give in.On the contrary, Wen Liang knew that although the little girl was good at martial arts, but her mind was not greasy enough, Xiang Qingchun could just make up for this, so she agreed.

Since Wen Liang agreed, there was nothing Wen Yanping could do if he wasn't happy. He planned in his heart that if there was any danger, he would just be knocked out and thrown to the guards to take care of him.

But in just a few words, Wen Yanping and Xiang Qingchun hurried to the city gate.When they arrived outside the city gate, they saw a rented carriage next to them. Without further ado, Wen Yanping took 50 taels of silver from Xiang Qingchun and threw it to the groom. After taking off the shaft and other things, the two got on their horses and headed straight to Lingrong County.

The situation was urgent at this time, and the two were riding the same horse, but there was nothing awkward about it. Wen Yanping sat in front, holding the rein, and rode the horse forward, while the cold night wind whistled by his ears.

The piercing night wind seemed to tear through his clothes. Xiang Qingchun hugged the waist of the person in front of him. Before he could feel the slenderness of the waist, he found the person in his arms trembling abnormally. At first, he thought it was because the night wind was too cold and quickly discovered her strangeness.

"Wen Yanping!"

Xiang Qingchun yelled loudly, but found that she seemed to be unable to hear her, the speed of the horse was getting faster and faster, so fast that his heart was about to jump into his throat, he felt chills all over his body, and he could not help but hug her tightly, secretly He thought that if he really fell off the horse, he could protect her a little bit.
