She didn't expect that this time, Jun Hongbai was determined to get closer to her.
The next day, when she went to Fushou Hall to pay her respects as usual, Jun Hongbai also accompanied Mr. Lu.
When he saw her, he apologized and said, "I haven't been able to visit my father-in-law a few days ago because he was ill. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have visited him. I won't take a bath tomorrow. Why don't I accompany you back to your parents' home tomorrow so that I can fulfill my filial piety as a younger generation?" .”
When he was gentle and affectionate, his brows were gentle and caring, and his whole person showed extremely noble beauty. No wonder Du Mianmian would rather be a concubine than follow him.
Shen Qingluan blinked and did not refuse.
She also missed her father.
In the past few days, he has been taking good care of himself with good medicinal materials. Compared with his previous life, his father must be much stronger now.
Thinking about this, she showed a bit of eagerness.
Looking at her expression, Jun Hongbai also felt rare joy and satisfaction.
So this time, he was extra diligent when preparing the medicinal materials.
I just searched the public warehouse and found a few ordinary herbs, not even a ginseng beard.
Jun Hongbai told Changdong with a stern face: "Go to the drugstore and ask if there is a century-old ginseng. I want it no matter how much money you have."
Changdong raised his hands anxiously, wondering:
"I don't know anything about vulgar things. The ginseng that has been produced for hundreds of years is not sold to the outside world. It is all monopolized by pharmacies and is only available to wealthy families who are familiar with it.
Even if there are one or two fish that have slipped through the net, they will not be found if we rush and panic now. "
Jun Hongbai was angry for the first time, "I just said that I would accompany Qingluan back to her parents' home, and she agreed. Do you think she wants me to come to your door again with these herbs that can be seen all over the street?"
Shen Qingluan's cold words and taunts last time made him particularly uncomfortable. He really didn't want to be looked down upon by Shen Qingluan again.
Changdong thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "There are many famous medicines and rare treasures in the second house courtyard, but they have never been handed over to the public school."
Jun Hongbai looked at him expressionlessly, which sent chills down Changdong's spine, and he slapped himself twice quickly.
"The villain said the wrong thing. The uncle is an upright person, so how can he care about the things from the second bedroom?"
Jun Hongbai averted his eyes, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and finally made up his mind to walk to the second room.
The two of them walked to the door of Xuesongyuan, and a hint of jealousy appeared on Jun Hongbai's calm face.
When Jun Chengsong ran away from home, he begged his grandfather to live in this courtyard.
His grandfather, who was always obedient to him, rejected him for the first time, saying only that no one was allowed to touch Jun Chengsong's things.
His second uncle always had such a good fortune. He was easily born in his aunt's mother's womb, he easily performed meritorious service on the battlefield, and he easily obtained the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan.
Even a noble lady from a famous family like Shen Qingluan wanted to marry him.
Jun Hongbai hid the rolling emotions in his eyes and stepped forward to walk in.
The two guards guarding the door looked at each other and raised their hands to stop them: "The Marquis has an order. No one is allowed to enter without his permission."
Jun Hongbai looked at the arm lying in front of him, and inexplicably remembered the scene where he was stopped by Shen Qingluan's maid the day before yesterday.
The two people's coincidental actions instantly ignited a torch in his heart.
This was just a test, but now, he was bound to go in!
Jun Hongbai looked indifferent, "Grandma is sick. I'm here to get some medicinal materials for grandma. My second uncle wants to call grandma mother, but you dare to stop me?"
The two guards hesitated.
Jun Hongbai pushed with both hands and rushed in.
Cedar Courtyard is the largest, most scenic and most exquisitely furnished courtyard in Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
It's a pity that no one has lived there for a long time, and everything is in a state of dilapidation.
Why can't it remain dilapidated forever? Why did Jun Chengsong come back alive?
With anger surging in his chest, Jun Hongbai threw away the two guards behind him and rushed straight to the warehouse.
"stop!"
A sharp knife stopped at his throat, and silver light shone into his eyes. Jun Hongbai felt a chill in his heart, and all the courage in his body turned into a fart and was let out.
"You are so brave, you actually dare to use the knife on me."
Jun Hongbai's voice trembled.
Xue Yin looked him over, then slowly retracted the knife without giving in, "The Marquis said that no one is allowed to enter the Cedar Courtyard, please get out."
Jun Hongbai's face turned red and purple.
Xue Yin was just a guard beside Jun Chengsong, but he actually dared to talk to him in a condescending manner.
Jun Hongbai glared at the other party, then opened his mouth and said: "Grandma is not feeling well, and the good ginseng and medicine in my second uncle's house are of no use. Do you want to stop me from taking some for grandma to show my filial piety?"
Xue Yin rolled his eyes.
Fortunately for him, he could express his filial piety, and that old woman of the Lu family was not afraid of shortening her life.
But even so, Xue Yin did not dare to say unpleasant words openly.
Even though Mrs. Lu did not give birth to Jun Chengsong or raise Jun Chengsong, she was Jun Chengsong's mother in the eyes of the world.
If the reputation of treating his father's step-wife harshly spreads out, she will have to shed her skin even if she doesn't die.
Xue Yin stepped aside and said, "Master, go and pick it yourself. You can get enough of whatever you want at one time.
The Marquis's yard is full of military defense secrets. As I am watching here today, I will naturally know that the uncle is not a treasonous person. The next time he breaks into the Marquis's yard for no reason and is killed as a spy, the Marquis will be more heartbroken. Feeling bad doesn't help. "
Jun Hongbai stiffened and turned to look at Xue Yin angrily.
Xue Yin raised his eyebrows, "If you want to pick something, please hurry up. The villain will be gone soon. These guards who have no eyesight will not sell the uncle's face like me."
Jun Hongbai's chest was heaving up and down, and he wished he could scold Xue Yin on the spot.
After all, the situation is stronger than the people. At this moment, it is more important to get good medicine and show kindness to the Shen family.
Jun Hongbai endured the anger that rushed towards Tianling Gai, lifted up his hem and swung it, striding towards the warehouse.
Today he must raid Jun Chengsong's warehouse completely, so that he can live up to this cowardly attitude!
Only his ambition was killed as soon as he entered the room.
The house was full of dusty treasures, but not a single herb or star.
Unwilling to give up, Jun Hongbai carefully rummaged through the corners of the cabinet filled with swords, guns and sticks. The more he rummaged, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but become more agitated.
However, his elbow inadvertently brought the red-tasseled spear to the side, and the pile of weapons without any structure suddenly collapsed like snow, and the tinkling clang hit the ground with a loud noise.
"ah--"
Jun Hongbai cried out while holding the hit toe.
Jun Chengsong must be sick. There are so many weapons piled in the warehouse. What’s the point of collecting a bunch of scrap metal?
Motherless bastard!
Xue Yin appeared half-body coolly outside the window, "Master, please take it easy, most of the things in the Marquis's warehouse were given by the Holy One and are treasures in the royal register.
If it was smashed, I don’t know how the uncle should take responsibility. I wouldn’t let the Marquis open the money bag and let the uncle pick it up, and I would have to wipe the uncle’s butt. "
Jun Hongbai's cheeks suddenly turned livid. He endured the pain and limped to Xue Yin, gritted his teeth and said:
"You said you wanted me to go in and pick, but there's not a single herb in the warehouse, let alone Ganoderma lucidum and wild ginseng. Are you kidding me?"
Xue Yin chuckled and spread his hands, "The little man doesn't know. After all, this warehouse has been in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion for so many years, and the Marquis has never been here.
Maybe I'm not as clear about the things in the warehouse as you are. Why don't you check for me, where are the herbs? "
Jun Hongbai was so angry at these bastard words that his teeth hurt, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean?"
He stared hard at Xue Yin's face.
Just as Xue Yin was about to blurt out, he suddenly realized something and changed his words: "It's not interesting, I just asked the uncle to help me check it out. If the uncle doesn't want to, forget it."
After saying that, he didn't dare to say anything more to Jun Hongbai, he handed over his hand perfunctorily and left with a large group of guards.
It was so dangerous, Jun Hongbai had clearly dug a hole for him to jump into just now.
If he opens his mouth and says that someone in the Jun family's big house is guarding and stealing, wouldn't he be caught in the conversation?
Jun Hongbai is also a civil servant.
Thanks to Jun Chengsong's personal teachings, he is now very wary of these talkers.
Jun Hongbai returned to the courtyard full of anger. As soon as he drank a cup of cold tea, Changdong came in indignantly:
"The villain followed Xue Yin and watched as they piled several large wooden boxes onto the carriage. The wooden boxes were not tightly covered. The villain could clearly see from behind that there were lots of medicinal materials inside, including ginseng with thick wrists. There are also three or four plants!”
Jun Hongbai hit the table with a hammer, "Damn Xue Yin, how dare you deceive and humiliate me like this!"
The herbs in the warehouse had obviously been plundered by himself a long time ago. He pretended to be generous and followed him in to rummage without saying a word.
The people around Jun Chengsong are really hateful!
Changdong added: "The uncle said that he was asking for medicine for the old lady, but the Marquis clearly had the medicine in his hand but refused to give it to the uncle. Why doesn't the uncle take part in his act of unfilial piety?"
Jun Hongbai's fist clenched tighter in an instant.
He was so angry just now, why didn't he expect this...
It was only after he heard that Jun Chengsong had returned to Beijing that he deliberately went out to inquire. Only then did he learn that Jun Chengsong had been tortured by the censor.
He also specifically found out that the censor who participated in his performance was Luo Buping...
Luo Buping, he and the Shen family...
Jun Hongbai fell into deep thought.
Xue Yin sent the large cart of herbs to the Shen family, and also sent an extra letter.
When Mother Shen saw it, her hands felt hot and her heart beat like a drum.
However, during this time, Shen Shuruo's body had indeed improved a lot due to the nourishment. The clan leader came to the house in person and said that Shen Shuruo's health was completely recovered, so he recommended him to become an official again.
In order to support her daughter, Shen's mother was determined not to say a word of rejection at this moment. She just looked at the letter like a hot potato.
Fortunately, Shen Qingluan was about to go home, and then she would definitely ask where these herbs came from.
The next day, the carriage of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion stopped at the gate of Shen Mansion early in the morning.
Jun Hongbai got off his horse, walked to the carriage, and stretched out his hand to Shen Qingluan who was leaning out.
"Qingluan, are you tired after riding in the carriage for so long?"
Shen Qingluan looked at his hearty smile and did not move for a moment.
Jun Hongbai seemed unaware of her resistance and said calmly: "What's wrong? Come down quickly, my mother-in-law and little sister have been waiting for a long time."
Mother Shen and Shen Xinyue noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and came over with support.
Shen Qingluan lowered his eyes and stared closely at the urging hand.
