Chapter 156 The old meet
"Why is it wrong?" Xue Lanfeng said in confusion.
"You are two people now, how can you say they are one person?" Wan Xin laughed.
"Ha, yes, I am not as careful as Wan Xin, a mother. Don't blame her, kid." Xue Lanfeng stroked her belly and said with a smile. She hadn't been so happy for a long time. Usually, she and Chen Qiang were the only ones in the mansion, and there was no one to talk. Chen Qiang was busy with official duties during the day and often looked like he was not in the mansion for several days. Xue Lanfeng missed Wan Xin more than once. If she wanted to be there, she would definitely not be so lonely.
Chen Qiang had already seen Xue Lanfeng's unhappiness and was anxious in his heart. He wanted to call her over when he wrote to Wanxin more than once. He thought about it for a long time, but still didn't pick up his pen. He knew that Wanxin had more important things to do in the capital. Although the brother and sister met again, Wanxin was different from the little girl in his memory, no matter what Wanxin became or what she did, Chen Qiang believed that his sister was pure and he would always support Wanxin unconditionally.
"Brother, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet, why didn't I tell me?" Wan Xin pointed to the direction of the gate and said with some complaint. In her memory, the stability of the war in Xixian was at least several months later, but now it seems that the lives of the people in the city have returned to peace and there is no sign of war at all. It seems that Chen Qiang's ability is better than General Huaihua. No wonder he was promoted before he returned to Beijing.
Chen Qiang scratched his head and said indifferently, "There is nothing to say, it's still the same. When I return to the capital, I will enter the palace to receive the reward. At that time, I will have my own mansion in the capital. Sister, you can move out of the Shen Mansion."
Wan Xin didn't expect that Chen Qiang's courageous killing of the enemy was to let her escape from the wealthy wolf and tiger den of the Chen Mansion as soon as possible. Wan Xin's eyes were moist in an instant, "Brother, thank you."
Now it was Chen Qiang's turn to be at a loss, "It's all my family, why are you talking about thanks?"
"Brother, when will you and your sister-in-law return to Beijing? I think this place has returned to normal life." Wan Xin asked with concern at Xue Lanfeng's figure.
"I could have gone back last month, but your sister-in-law is pregnant. It's too long to go back to Beijing. I asked the general to go to Lanfeng to give birth to her before returning to Beijing. Wanxin, how long are you here?" Chen Qiang looked at Xue Lanfeng beside him with a doting look on his face. Although he had been married for a while, Xue Lanfeng's cheeks were blushed when she was staring at Chen Qiang's hot eyes.
Wan Xin was very happy to see the scene of his elder brother and sister-in-law so loving, "I'm fine, you, a man, will definitely not take care of your sister-in-law. I'll wait here until my sister-in-law gives birth to my little niece before leaving."
"Ah, really, I'm so happy that Wanxin, you can accompany me." Xue Lanfeng didn't expect that Wanxin could stay with her for so long. "When you have a child, the four of us will return to Beijing together."
Xue Lanfeng held Wan Xin's hand tightly, and was very excited. The emotions that had just calmed down began to burst into tears again. Seeing this, Wan Xin quickly calmed down Xue Lanfeng's emotions, "Sister-in-law, don't be too excited. It would be bad if the child in her stomach was affected."
"Oh." Xue Lanfeng suddenly screamed, and Chen Qiang and Shen Wanxin were so scared that their faces turned pale in an instant. They looked at Xue Lanfeng nervously. They asked in unison, "What's wrong, but they feel uncomfortable?"
Xue Lanfeng laughed, "No, the child kicked me just now. Maybe she was happy to hear Wanxin stay." It turned out that it was a false alarm. Chen Qiang and Shen Wanxin were relieved when they saw that Xue Lanfeng was really nothing.
"Wanxin, how could you leave the mansion? But what happened to the Shen family?" Although Chen Qiang had decided to split up, Wanxin still lives in the Shen Mansion, and he had to care about the matters in the Shen Mansion.
Wan Xin then remembered that before she told Chen Qiang why she could come, she told the things that happened in the Chen Mansion after she left Chen Qiang. Xue Lanfeng kept opening her mouth to exclaim when she listened to Wan Xin's gentle voice and told such a fierce story. She didn't expect that the matter of this deep house would be much more thrilling than she had imagined. On the contrary, Chen Qiang had no change in expression. After Wan Xin finished speaking, Chen Qiang opened his mouth and said, "When we return to Beijing, you will move out whatever we say. This matter has been decided, don't tell me anything. If you still treat me as your elder brother, just listen to me."
It was the first time that Xue Lanfeng saw Chen Qiang's serious expression. She gently pulled Chen Qiang's sleeves, making his tone slightly softer. Wan Xin didn't care. She knew that the eldest brother gave her this death order out of concern. "Okay, we will move after we return to Beijing."
Seeing Wan Xin's agreement, Chen Qiang observed her carefully. Seeing that she did make her heartfelt agreement, he felt relieved, "Wan Xin, I still have something to go out. I'm tired after traveling to the yamen. You've been tiring after so long. Today, I'll take you to visit Xiliang City tomorrow. Although this place is not as good as the capital, there are also many delicious and fun things."
"What's the fun of you accompanying me? I'll just go around myself tomorrow. I'm General Dingyuan's sister. Who else can bully me this name?" Wan Xin raised her head and pretended to be arrogant. Looking at Wan Xin's appearance, everyone present made them laugh. In fact, Wan Xin is deliberately pretending to be a girlish attitude for her elder brother and sister-in-law to see it. The purpose is to prevent them from worrying and make them think that they are still an ignorant girl.
"Haha, okay, then you have a good rest today, I'll leave first." Chen Qiang continued, but was interrupted by Wan Xin, "Brother, I haven't seen each other for many days, why have you become so long-winded? Let's go quickly, there is still a sister-in-law here. Are you, sister-in-law? Are you talking about it?"
Xue Lanfeng has now been completely bribed by Wanxin. She said whatever Wanxin said, "No, Wanxin also thinks you are annoyed, you can leave quickly."
Chen Qiang stopped giving in and walked out of the door. When he was performing official duties, he was quite worried about Xue Lanfeng at home. Now that Wan Xin is at home with her, he feels much more relieved.
When Wan Xin returned to his house, she suddenly felt a little hot in her chest, so she took out half of the jade pendant hidden in her chest. Sure enough, it was this jade that was heating up. Wan Xin couldn't help but look at it strangely. She had never seen the jade pendant get hot after wearing it for so long. Now, this abnormal behavior was that it sensed that the other half of the jade pendant was also here? If so, it would be like searching for something without any effort.
Wan Xin didn't expect that she would gain Jade Jue when she came to Xiliang. She decided to go to the street early tomorrow morning to see if there were any new discoveries.
Because her elder brother and sister-in-law were by her side, Wanxin soon entered her dream. She dreamed of Xuan'er again. Xuan'er did not cry, struggle or howl anymore. Instead, she waved her little hands, and her little mouth was still giggling, laughing while calling Wanxin.
Wan Xin woke up in the morning and had a dry tear mark at the corner of her eyes. She knew that she had finally put down Xuan'er's affairs, but she still had to avenge Xuan'er. Even if Shi Xuan'er didn't know who the third prince was, the hatred in Wan Xin's heart was almost boiling. No matter what the price she paid, she would kill the people who had hurt her and her relatives one by one.
"Miss, what headdress do you wear?" Mingyue brought two headdresses and asked Wanxin, one was the white magnolia as white as snow, and the other was the golden golden Yan Buyao. Wanxin looked at the two headdresses and "Go and take the peach wood hairpin over."
"Miss, that peach wood hairpin is too simple. This is our first time on the street today. Shouldn't we bring a more gorgeous one?" Mingyue insisted with the white jade magnolia.
Wan Xin shook his head, "Now that Xiliang City has just returned to peace, the people have not yet fully walked out of the shadow of the war. When we entered the city, you didn't see that the women on the street had hair accessories. It's really inappropriate for us to be so arrogant. Now my identity here is no longer the daughter of the Shen family, and no one here knows the Shen family's water fortune. I represent my brother, represent General Dingyuan. There is no unnecessary decoration in my elder brother's courtyard, and the house is extremely simple. Even my sister-in-law has a simple jade hairpin. As my elder brother's sister, how can I dress better than the general's wife? Why can't you even see this truth when you have been by my side for so long?"
Wan Xin told Mingyue sternly that it was not that she wanted to be so strict with Mingyue, but that the decisive point of many things was in the details. As long as one detail was not done well, it was very likely that someone would be caught, which would eventually lead to an irreversible result. Now she could not make any mistakes, she had to be extremely strict with the people around her.
After hearing Wan Xin's words, Mingyue blushed in anger and said, "Miss, I understand. I did it wrong this time."
"Okay, it's not your fault, it's just that the enemies we face are too strong, so we must be stronger than them to win, do you know?" Wan Xin relaxed his tone and said softly. Mingyue is now the person she values the most. Bai Zhi is too young and has an unstable mind, so she is not enough to do big things. So only Mingyue can be her right-hand man.
Wan Xin kept Bai Zhi in the mansion to take care of Xue Lanfeng, and took Mingyue to the streets of Xiliang. Looking at the people coming and going, everyone's clothes were extremely simple. Even the beautiful girl was not dressed up. In a place where she could not even have enough food and clothing, who was still in the mood to dress herself? Wan Xin once again expressed her desire for peace from the bottom of her heart.
"Miss, where are we going now?" Mingyue asked closely by Wanxin. She found that the lady was really hidden and could learn a lot from her. She is very different from her in the countryside.
"Where is the most well-informed place in a town?" Wan Xin asked back without directly answering Mingyue.
"Pub!" Mingyue blurted out without hesitation.
Wan Xin nodded and glanced at Mingyue with praise, "Yes, let's go to the largest tavern here now."
Xiliang City is much smaller than the capital, and people basically rely on walking to go out. Of course, no one here has the conditions to travel in sedans or carriages.
Wan Xin and Mingyue came to the largest tavern in the city. As soon as they walked to the door, the waiter inside greeted him, "Customer, please come in, good wine and good food, don't miss it when you walk."
As soon as this war stops, the first thing to recover is business. Because the war has affected a lot of business, now the war has finally stopped, so of course the waiter has to spare no effort to attract customers to make up for the previous losses.
Wan Xin nodded, "Does the waiter have a elegant seat?"
The waiter saw that Wan Xin was dressed in a simple manner, but at first glance he was not an ordinary lady. He immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, please do it on the second floor."
Wan Xin followed the waiter into the teahouse, walked up the stairs, and was taken to a seat by the window. "Miss, the seats here are the best here. You can see the scenery outside when you look at this window. I wonder if the guest is satisfied?"
Wan Xin smiled and said, "Satisfied, bring your special dish." After saying that, he glanced at Mingyue, and Mingyue immediately took out a few taels of silver from her arms and handed it to the waiter in the hand.
The waiter smiled even brighter when he saw the heavy silver, "Call, wait, come later."
After Wanxin sat down, Mingyue came to the opposite Wanxin and sat down, looking out the window, "That waiter is really funny. What's the cute scenery outside this window? It's just a loess road."
The waiter immediately brought a pot of hot tea. Mingyue picked up the teapot in the middle of the table and poured Wanxin a cup of hot tea.
"You take what the merchant said seriously, but the location is really good, you can see people coming and going." Wan Xin picked up the teacup at hand, put it to his mouth, sipped it, and couldn't help but frown.
"Miss, why is the tea not good?" Mingyue had already caught the change in Wan Xin's expression. She also took a sip and almost couldn't help but vomit, "What kind of tea is this? I dare to say it is good tea." Mingyue put down the cup angrily and asked the waiter to come up to settle the score.
"Forget it, forget it, there is no good tea here, it's good to have a tea leaf. Maybe I haven't drunk such aged tea leaf for a long time, but I feel a little bit of memory." Wan Xin picked up the tea cup again and took a sip. Because of his mental preparation, there was no unhappiness on his face.
Mingyue sat down helplessly and recalled the taste of the old tea. This was the only thing that the lady could do. "Miss, we brought a lot of tea. Why not bring it out for the waiter to brew it in the future. Miss? Miss?"
After Mingyue said that, she ignored Wanxin and called out a few more words, but Wanxin still didn't respond. Wanxin's face kept looking out the window, as if someone had acupuncture point was lit.
Mingyue saw Wan Xin so focused, so she turned around and looked out the window with Wan Xin's eyes. She saw a carriage parked at the door of the pub. Because the carriage was too abrupt, it had attracted many passers-by to stop and watch. At this time, a handsome young man got out of the carriage. This young man was extremely handsome. It can be said that his appearance made the beauty feel ashamed. However, the aura emitted by the boy made people dare not approach him. Passersby who were attracted by his appearance could only watch from a distance.
Mingyue couldn't help but take a breath when she saw the cold-faced boy, "Miss, isn't that Mr. Liu? Why is he in Xiliang too?"
