Lin Jian's driver was kicked out of the carriage by Ming Feifei, so he had to come to Yang Hao. Under the awkward gaze of Lu Pei, he greeted Yang Xingshou and then boarded the sailboat. Yang Hao was busy with military affairs, so naturally he couldn't stay at the dock for a long time. He only waved to the old friends from Yujie Station, and then led the packed team and chased away in the direction of the bird-like vehicle. .
After several days of busy work, Lu Pei felt a little embarrassed, but even so, he still did not dare to slight this distinguished guest from afar again. Seeing that Yang Hao was about to leave, Wuqisan hurriedly waved and ordered Shi Liang and others to arrange for the dispersal of everyone, and then led Du Yujia and another postmaster of the Peony Society to follow Yang Hao towards the guard. Depart from the house.
Lin Muyan's appearance made Shi Liang a little panicked. The change of things caught him somewhat off guard. In fact, he was as distracted as Lu Pei in the mecha. He stood there blankly and waited until everyone left before looking elsewhere. The leaders of the queue came to their senses after greeting them.
The officers had all left, and the platoon stewards on the dock naturally lost interest in continuing, and each ordered their brothers to leave quickly. Before the black sailing ship left, other ships could not enter the port. The colorful pier suddenly became empty. After the emptiness, only a few gray-robed handymen were left there with a big broom, sweeping the place. It's somewhat cool.
"Third brother, please arrange for my brothers. I have to leave for a while." Shi Liang no longer wanted to lead the team at this time. After talking to Geng San, the mecha rushed up and stood in three rows. The soldiers watched worriedly as they sped towards the garrison camp at top speed.
"Dad, Sister Muyan is with her father. She must be very happy and everything will be fine." Yaoshan obviously didn't understand Shi Liang's worries. In his opinion, being with his relatives is the best thing. Happy things.
Shi Liang didn't explain too much. He took off his armor in a few moments and ran back to Yangjiawan.
"Xiao Liang, you're back!" Third aunt was sitting at the door of her courtyard with a vegetable basket picking vegetables. When she saw Shi Liang coming home, she immediately stood up, "This is what Yan girl asked me to give you. I can't understand what's written on it. She left in a hurry and refused to say what happened." As the third aunt spoke, she carefully took out a silk handkerchief from her arms. Shi Liang bought it for her in the town, and Mu Yan had been keeping it close to her.
Seeing that the old man still looked worried, Shi Liang quickly comforted him: "Third aunt, don't worry, I just met Mu Yan. Her father came to look for her. It's okay." As he spoke, he took the silk Pa. It was silky smooth in the hand, with a slight fragrance, and now it is folded in a square shape, with a piece of paper wrapped inside with writing on it.
When the third aunt heard that Mu Yan had returned to her family, she didn't think much about it. Instead, she enthusiastically reminded Shi Liang: "Xiaoyan's father is here, so why don't you hurry up and get ready to propose marriage. That baby is I've been waiting for you, you stupid boy, don't delay this good girl."
Naturally, Shi Liang didn't know how to explain it. Seeing that the old man had put aside his worries, he hurriedly left: "Okay, okay, third aunt, you are busy first, I will go back to the house."
Everything in the Shi Liang family's small house is still the same as before, except that the flowers and plants in the corners are no longer carefully taken care of, and they are somewhat depressed. The man walked into the inner room and found that the door of the girl's room was unlocked and the room was relatively messy. The sheets were curled up and wrinkled, and the quilt was balled up into a knot. Mu Yan had obviously gotten up in a hurry to go out in the morning and did not have time to clean up.
Shi Liang sat down and opened the silk handkerchief. There was only a small line of beautiful words on the small note inside:
/Brother Xiaoliang, I’m leaving. Don't come to me. /
Humans are a very strange creature, and they often only know how to feel reluctant to let go after losing something. Mu Yan's sudden departure couldn't help but make Shi Liang feel sour in his heart. An inexplicable feeling of powerlessness filled his whole body, making people don't know whether to cry or laugh, whether to suffer or to resist.
There was no way to resist.
At this moment, the postmaster Lu Pei, who was supposed to be full of ambition and chatting and laughing with senior officials, was also depressed. In Lin Jian's view, Wu Qisan's painstaking efforts to please was just a farce performed by a clown. However, today's Butler Lin obviously did not have the leisure and elegance to appreciate Wu Qisan's efforts to please. The indifference and disregard of the superiors completely extinguished some of the newly built pride in Wu Qisan's heart, causing the man who had been working hard to climb up to suffer internally.
The small fragrant wind blows and dances in the Mingyue Tower, and it is difficult to achieve ambition in a hurry.
The beauty's fairy music is colorless, and the sorrow is made worse by drinking wine to drown the resentment.
In the small courtyard with carved railings, Lu Yicheng was drinking wine alone, his face flushed, and his drunken eyes were hazy, but he saw the beams in the box as the burly man who despised him. He stood up and stood up, holding the wine bottle. After taking a sip, he hit the beam with anger and shouted angrily: "Little commoner, why do you look down on me?"
"Bang!" The porcelain pot with the wine was scattered all over the floor. Lu Yichen was obviously still not satisfied. "Boom!" The iron fist shook and hit the beams, pillars and wooden piers hard, shocking the waiters in the restaurant outside the door. A shiver.
According to the rules of the restaurant, the waiter must naturally go into the room to clean up the broken things at this time, and serve the guests carefully to prevent the wealthy gentry from accidentally hurting him. It's just that the person inside today is one of the top military officials in Yujie Town. He is obviously drunk now. I don't know who is sulking over there. How can a restaurant boy with thin arms and legs dare to come in at this time? Brushing the tiger's beard.
The dilemma between possible punishment and the current beating forced the young boy to stomp his feet uncertainly. At that time, a newly recruited maid seemed to have gone down the wrong path, and awkwardly poked her head out from the end of the aisle with a bucket and mop.
The young man had sharp eyes, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he shouted hurriedly: "Sister Mei Hua'er, come here, come here."
There are always some flower names in restaurants and boats. This servant girl called "Plum Blossom" is already in her thirties. Although she still has some beauty, she is in the famous Mingyue Gold Building in Yiguang Mansion. Among them, he is already too old and can only be responsible for some cleaning chores.
The woman is also a miserable person. Her husband died early and was later defrauded of all her family wealth. In desperation, she has been begging to survive. The shopkeeper is kind-hearted. After closing, he often leaves some leftover snacks and fruits to share with the poor people nearby. He is familiar with most of the beggars in this town. It happened that there was a shortage of maids in the restaurant in recent days. Seeing that this poor and helpless woman was quite clever, he hired this lonely widow to work in the restaurant and earn some food and clothing.
The job was hard-earned, so the little woman was naturally very attentive. She walked up to the waiter in the restaurant and asked enthusiastically: "Brother Xiu, what are your orders?"
The boy was also a thief, so he didn't say it clearly. He just said: "The official inside was drunk and a little sleepy. He accidentally dropped the wine bottle and the crumbs were all over the floor. Please be careful and enter the wing." Clean and clean.”
The woman had just arrived, so she would have no idea of the strangeness. She nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Brother Xiu, please help me take care of the bucket. I will go get the broom and dustpan now." As she spoke, she ran back with quick hands and feet. Go to the warehouse and get some cleaning tools.
Seeing the servant woman being so diligent, the young man secretly rejoiced in his heart. With cunning in his heart, he watched the woman take the things and run back to him, and then he asked again: "Sister Mei Hua'er, please help take care of the guests. Shopkeeper As soon as I was called, I will go and come back."
The young woman naturally nodded in agreement, carrying the bucket in her left hand and the broom and dustpan in her right hand before entering the house. Before he could turn around, the boy outside the room had already closed the door, took three steps and two steps at a time, found a reason and left.
"Who are you!" The drunken Wu Qisan's eyes were red at this time. When he heard someone breaking in at the door, he raised his finger and pointed at the woman and yelled, "Get out of here!"
The little woman bowed her body. As soon as she entered the room, she was suddenly frightened by the drunk man. She trembled and nodded: "Officer, I will help you clean up the crumbs of the wine flask. I don't want to hurt you."
"Get out of here! That bitch deserves to be smashed to pieces by me!" Lu Pei was obviously a little confused, swaying and talking nonsense, and sat down on the floor, leaning against the beam and lowering his head.
Mei Hua'er was naturally a little scared, but she didn't dare to raise her head and hurriedly picked up the debris on the ground. Fortunately, the drunk man made no other moves and only whined in the corner, lowering his head and muttering to himself.
The little woman was also very nimble with her hands and feet, and she quickly cleaned up the mess in the house. After all, he was a little older, so when he heard the slightest movement in the room, he just assumed that the guest had fallen asleep, so he boldly raised his head. What caught his eye was a bright red official robe. Mei Hua'er naturally had some knowledge and knew that it was the official uniform of the Peony Society.
"Sir, would you like me to help you go to the bed to have a rest?" The young woman said softly, testing whether the person in front of her was already asleep. When she saw that the person in front of her was not asleep, she felt a little relieved and was about to walk out quietly. concierge.
But at that moment, Lu Yicheng, who was sitting drunk in the corner, suddenly stood up, rushed to the woman's side, hugged her, and shouted obsessively: "Mother, Peipei misses you so much. "
——————————
The sky was getting dark, and the middle-aged man in Qingyi who had left the girl in sackcloth slowly walked back to the camp. At this time, the jade porcelain girl had changed into an exquisite palace dress, and greeted her father with a charming smile on her pretty face. However, at this time, there was no one beside the man who was different from her. Long time friend. The girl's eyes were full of loss, with a bit of crying, she pulled the middle-aged man's robe and asked with a pout, "Daddy, where is Xiaoli?"
The slightly plump middle-aged man in Tsing Yi was returning home in a hurry and was a little out of breath: "Nanny, Xiaoli's parents don't want her to go out at night. There is nothing we can do about it, so let's go home."
"I don't." The ceramic doll acted coquettishly, obviously not very satisfied with her father's answer.
The middle-aged man was naturally prepared. He took out a clay sculpture from the back of his hand, handed it to the little girl and said gently: "This is the clay dog Xiaoli gave you. Daddy promises you that when Daddy has time again, we will come together Come back to her."
The little girl pouted and played with the small ornaments given by her temporary friend. At this point, she had no choice but to agree: "Okay, daddy, you can't lie to me."
