Those Years In Quest Of Honour Mine

Chapter 16 You are so loyal, does your master Zhong Wan know?

After Zhong Wan made up his mind, he exasperated several people with Xuanrui.

Zhong Wan didn't want them to worry for no reason. He didn't take this seriously, and said in a relaxed tone at the dinner table: "After the Longevity Festival, I want to stay in Beijing for a while."

Zhong Wan said lightly, and the children were still startled.

Zhong Wan's expression is natural: "I still have one or two old friends in Beijing. It is not convenient now. When you leave, I want to avoid people and look after them."

Several people looked at each other, what "old friends" does Zhong Wan have?

Xuan Congxin was the first to react. She pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said slowly, "After seeing this... the emperor probably won't think of us anymore. There is nothing serious about Qian'an. If you are in Beijing If there is something unfinished, just stay."

Xuan Yu looked at Xuan Congxin and then at Zhong Wan, her eyes were red, and she said anxiously, "Why stay?! I won't be separated from you! It's so cold, can you bear it? Let's go back together. , What is the matter with you? Otherwise... Let brother and sister go back first, I will accompany you, when your business is over, let's go back together!"

"Zhong Wan naturally has his own business." Xuan Congxin was very dissatisfied with his brother's wimpy look of tears at every turn, frowning and reprimanded, "What is there to cry for?! Don't cry! Hold back!"

"I..." Since childhood, Xuan Yu was afraid that her powerful compatriot sister would be scolded and she didn't dare to cry. He kept tears in his eyes and said pitifully, "Then Zhong Wan, when will you go back? I... Am I waiting for your head office? I, I..."

Xuan Yu went to the doctor in a hurry and said nonsense: "I have to study with you!"

"Who can't read the book?!" Xuan Congxin frowned, "Can we not afford a gentleman? Dare to cry!"

Xuan Yu immediately received his tears, and was too scared to say a word.

Zhong Wan sighed, it was a pity in his heart. If Xuan Congxin was a man, he would surely be able to set up a house within two years, and he would really be relieved.

Zhong Wan looked at Xuanrui, Xuanrui buried her head worriedly and swallowed his food, and then slowly said: "It's better to go back with us, you are here... You don't worry about us, we don't worry about you."

Xuan Congxin frowned: "Brother, how come you are..."

Xuanrui raised his head and glared at Xuan Congxin, and said in a low voice, "Is Jingzhong so dumb? You grew up carefree in Qian'an. How do you know the sins we suffered before? At that time, you were always in fear. I don’t want to..."

"Don't worry." Zhong Wan patted Xuanrui's hand with relief, "I don't do anything, just..."

"Why don't you think about him at all?" Xuan Congxin couldn't help it. "Zhong Wan is twenty-four this year, ordinary people's family, this is all..."

Xuan Congxin is a girl, no matter how strong she is, she can't say anything. Her face is slightly red, and she pauses for a while before saying: "After the Longevity Day, even if our palace is completely stable, he has to think about himself after taking care of us for so many years. Is it?"

Xuan Yu was stunned, "What... my business?"

Xuan Congxin's cheeks flushed, and he whispered: "Now that the emperor has exempted Zhong Wan from slavery, it is time to make a big deal. What kind of noble lady is there in Qian'an? After returning, I can't find anything suitable. He is going to settle the marriage in Beijing, why are you all..."

Xuan Congxin said that she couldn't say anymore. She lowered her head and took a sip of the soup, her voice was inaudible, "When his marriage is settled... I will naturally take my wife back. Why are you so worried?"

Xuanrui turned to look at Zhong Wan, and said happily, "So this is the case? Are you looking for my sister-in-law?"

Xuanrui also looked over, dumbly: "What do you mean by...?"

Zhong Wan looked at the three of them with difficulty, and laughed: "What do I say..."

Xuan Congxin was very curious, but due to her daughter's identity, she couldn't speak more, she could only say indifferently, "Or...Which one have you been in for?"

Xuan Yu said excitedly: "Is my sister-in-law good-looking?"

Zhong Wan could only make mistakes and said embarrassingly: "It looks good..."

Xuan Congxin couldn't help asking: "How old is it?"

Zhong Wan said with difficulty: "Twenty...three."

The three looked at each other.

Needles dropped in the hall for a while.

The two little ones are embarrassed to say, or Xuanrui hesitated, "Is this too old? You...don't wrong yourself."

Zhong Wan dropped his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, smiling as best as he could: "No grievance...I don't think it's too big."

"It's not young anymore." Xuan Congxin murmured, "You...why bother looking for someone so old?"

Zhong Wan smiled dryly: "I'm not young anymore, and he... doesn't look very old."

Xuan Rui was taken aback: "Have you seen it?!"

Zhong Wan regretted not falling, "Well..." Zhong Wan couldn't wait to kill herself. Why did she lie like this... Why couldn't she lie to them?!

Xuan Yu's eyes glowed: "Well, what's your stature!"

Zhong Wan was repenting secretly, and she didn't shut the door for a while, "A little taller than me."

"Oh..." Xuan Yu was shocked, "Higher than you!!!"

The expressions of Xuan Rui and Xuan Congxin also changed suddenly.

What girl did Zhong Wan find?!

"Ah no." Zhong Wan clenched his fist tightly, "It's...just like me, I...I don't value these things."

"It's fine if you like it." Xuan Congxin looked at Zhong Wan with a complex expression, and couldn't help asking again, "Then...what's your temperament?"

At such an old age, born so burly, and still make Zhong Wan like him, there must be something extraordinary about this person, perhaps he has a good temper, gentle and considerate?

"Character..."

Zhong Wan's heart is uncertain, moody, always wanting to kill, and every moment wants to go crazy.

If this is said, Xuan Rui Xuan Yu Xuan Cong is afraid that he will not let himself stay.

What kind of monster is this...

Zhong Wan insisted: "Very good..."

The three of them looked at each other in pairs, and Zhong Wan was happy to be happy.

After a meal, several people went back to their houses with their own concerns.

Zhong Wan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled twice, and returned to his courtyard.

As soon as he entered the house, Yan Pingshan Yan butler followed outside.

"what happened?"

Zhong Wan sat next to the brazier, took the iron chopsticks, put a piece of charcoal in his hand stove, put it into the brazier, dialed the charcoal in the bowl, and blew it lightly. After a while, the charcoal bowl heated up.

Yan Pingshan closed the doors and windows, and said in a low voice: "Listen to our people, the third prince is probably not good."

Zhong Wan twisted his eyebrows.

The three princes have been sick since they were born, and it has been difficult to drag them for more than 30 years, but why didn’t something happen at this moment...

Yan Pingshan worries heavily: "It's best to delay for a few more months, and wait for the Longevity Day to pass...otherwise the funeral will rush around the Longevity Day, and we still can't go first."

"Yes..." Zhong Wan asked, "what did the emperor say?"

Yan Pingshan said: "The imperial doctor said that if you survive the vernal equinox, you will be better off."

Zhong Wan hissed: "This means he won't survive the vernal equinox...it happens to be around the Wanshou Festival."

Yan Pingshan couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Don't choose a good time."

Zhong Wan asked: "The emperor must have known it too. Has the Longevity Day passed?"

"Pass it." Yan Pingshan smiled contemptuously and said in a low voice, "The three princes are now struggling to drink porridge, and I haven't seen the emperor so sad. Yes, no one is as comfortable as him."

Zhong Wan was worried, so... I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few more months.

Yu Wang's palace, Yu She has been in a bad mood for days.

He wanted to find Lin Si's mistake and took him to Dali Temple for two more days, but a few days later, Lin Si seemed to have suddenly wilted, shrinking in the four princes' mansion all day without showing his head.

Yu She didn't know that Lin Si had been instructed by Zhong Wan to stay still. He only felt that this dumb man was born to restrain himself. When he was not used, he was in front of him every day. It was necessary, but he couldn't find it.

Yu She became impatient, "He has nothing wrong with him, can I not catch him? No need to make any excuses, just get him!"

Steward Feng sneered: "Shooting people for no reason, I'm afraid they will offend the Four Highnesses..."

Yu She asked, "I'm afraid of offending him?"

Steward Feng suffocated, saying yes, you even dare to offend the emperor, what else is there to be afraid of?

That's it, Lin Si just got out of the house to breathe, and was caught in a sack by the people of Prince Yu's house.

Yu She sat upright and looked at Lin Si condescendingly.

Seven years ago, after Zhong Wan left, Yu She and Lin Si had no intersection at first.

Yu She does not take care of him, nor will he trouble him, and each other is in peace.

Until Lin Si knowingly checked Yu She's life experience.

Yu She was really murderous that day.

Even after Xuan Jing made a big disturbance in Dali Temple, Yu She did not change his mind.

Xuan Jing dared to check his own life experience, and he was waiting for death if he didn't teach him a lesson.

"If it wasn't for..." Yu She looked at Lin Si for a while, didn't say anything, and said lightly, "Get it up."

The servant brought up countless instruments of torture and fell in front of Lin Si.

"My method, you know..." Yu She slowly said, "You don't need to tell me anything not to lynch. In my case, there are no rules. I will ask you one thing. You can leave it alone. Take your torture piece by piece."

Yu She is well versed in torture and interrogation, and is not in a hurry, but finds an old servant who is good at torture, and asks him to place dozens of instruments of torture one by one, and prepare to give Lin Si a start.

The instruments of torture in Dali Temple are much more delicate than those of the Ministry of Penalty. It took half an hour for the old servant to prepare them. Yu She sipped tea slowly, "Don't worry, I have time."

Lin Si looked at the torture instrument and looked up at Yu She.

Yu She finally paid attention to Lin Si and asked, "What is Zhong Wan's nickname?"

Lin Si: "..."

Yu She's tone was calm: "Don't tell me you don't know, you two grew up together, I won't believe it."

Yu She put down the tea cup, looked at a torture device, and said, "I don't want to say it? Yes, let me say first... Do you want to know what this is for? I'm just idle today, and I can talk to you slowly... "

Lin Si struggled slightly, Yu She narrowed his eyes.

Lin Si raised a hand hard and pressed it to the ground.

Yu She looked at him suspiciously.

Lin Si was pressed by the two servants, and his actions were quite inconvenient. He raised his hand and dipped the pepper water on the ground laboriously. On the bluestone board in front of him, he wrote two words stroke by stroke— —Zhong Wan's nickname.

Then kowtowed.

Yu She: "..."

After a while, Yu She said: "You are so loyal, does your master Zhong Wan know?"

Lin Si had a slight shame on his face, lowered his head, and did not answer.

With a single word, Yu She looked at the torture instruments in the room...

What is the purpose of fiddling with these old furnishings at this hour?

"Very good, able to bend and stretch." Yu She said for a while, "You go."

Lin Si kowtowed again and left.
