Chapter One Hundred and Six
Something was wrong.
It’s not because Xia Sheng is suspicious or because he really has a great hostility towards Mrs. Ye, but because Mrs. Ye’s behavior at this time was really abnormal.
But overnight, Mrs. Ye seemed to have become a different person, and her attitude towards Xia Sheng had a completely deviated.
It seems that Xia Sheng and Ye Xiao'e's marriage was completely matched by her, and Xia Sheng is also the son-in-law she admires and recognizes the most.
Is this... still Mrs. Ye who is reckless and willing to tear the wedding letter into pieces in front of Xia Sheng?
If Xia Sheng had not achieved extraordinary achievements in medicine and had a vicious vision, he could have been sure that these foods were not mixed with any deadly poison, and I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to take chopsticks.
As soon as she sat down, Xia Sheng had just eaten a few bites, and Mrs. Ye asked straight to the point: "By the way, Xiao Xia, tell me about your father's affairs and see if our Ye family can help."
As soon as Mrs. Ye said this, not only did not dispel Xia Sheng's doubts, but instead made him more alert to Mrs. Ye's every move.
But no matter what the reason why Mrs. Ye suddenly showed such kindness to Xia Sheng, and no matter whether Mrs. Ye's performance was hypocritical or true feelings at this time, Xia Sheng also had to use the power of the Ye family to help him find his father's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Xia Sheng gently put down the bowl in his hand and said respectfully: "I dare not hide it from my wife, this is the case..."
...
After about one stick of incense, Xia Sheng finally trayed the whole thing to Mrs. Ye. He did not even hide his identity as a guest of Shantang. He told Mrs. Ye more openly that he also sought Shantang's help in searching for his father.
But surprisingly, Mrs. Ye did not show any unhappiness because of this, but nodded instead: "In terms of finding people, Shantang is indeed much more intelligent than our Ye Mansion, and your response is very correct."
After a pause, Mrs. Ye changed her mind again: "But as you said, if those two thieves were really spies who were demons who sneaked into my Dajin's country, then it would be natural to leave this matter to my Ye's mansion to handle. For these rebellions of foreign races, the great men of my Thorn Army will never tolerate them!"
Xia Sheng held his hand and bowed, "In this way, Mrs. Lau will be there."
Mrs. Ye nodded: "You should stay in my mansion these days. When you have news, I will notify you as soon as possible. If you have something to come to me on weekdays, or if you have any unaccustomed to food, clothing, housing and transportation, you can tell Yun'er at any time..."
As he said that, Mrs. Ye flipped her wrist and handed a token to Xia Sheng.
"This is my Ye Mansion's waist card. If you have something to do, you have to go out at night or go to Luoyang City Gate, with this card, the people of the Bingmasi will not make things difficult for you."
Xia Sheng took it and looked at it, then saluted Mrs. Ye: "Thank you, Mrs.."
"Yeah." Mrs. Ye nodded with joy, then stood up, patted Xia Sheng on the shoulder like the elders' love for the younger generation, and said, "Apart from that, do you have any other requirements?"
Seeing that Mrs. Ye was about to leave, Xia Sheng no longer hesitated and immediately spoke: "That's right. When I was in Baima Town, my father mentioned to me that he had some old friendship with General Xu of the town government. Since I came to Luoyang this time, I naturally wanted to visit me. I wonder if Mrs. Ye could help me with a thread?"
Mrs. Ye's eyes were slightly stunned, and then she smiled and said, "Then you are not the time. Now, like my husband, Lao Xu is leading the army outside. I'm afraid you know that the situation of the fall of the defense line a few days ago, Your Majesty was furious and transferred the town to the border of the western defense to quell the chaos. I believe that I will not be able to return to the capital for a while."
Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head: "In this way, nothing will happen."
Mrs. Ye nodded and left the front hall with the help of an old lady, probably going to arrange for the whereabouts of Xia Hong.
Xia Sheng was not surprised at Mrs. Ye's passionate personality. What he cared more was the change in the other party's attitude.
In addition, Xu Qiu's rebellion was not in the capital, which also hindered his subsequent actions. In this way, he could only wait for the news sent back by Mrs. Ye and Shantang.
During the next whole day, Xia Sheng did not leave the Weining Marquis Mansion, but sat in the room and read a book for a day. During this period, Meng Qi came back from outside, but seemed a little taciturn. He only met Xia Sheng and went back to the house. It made Xia Sheng worry that this female killer who was not very smart had encountered some difficulties.
When the sky brightened again, it was already the third day that Xia Sheng had arrived in Luoyang City without realizing it.
And today he has a very important thing to do.
Just go to the Shantang again!
With the experience of the last time, Xia Sheng did not ask Ning Zheng to follow him this time, nor did he contact Bi Qingwen. Instead, he came to Yuehua Street, which is located in Luoyang City with a familiarity.
Now Xia Sheng already knows that the reason why this street is called Yuehua Street is actually named after the only living spring in Luoyang City.
In addition to one of the most famous attractions in Luoyang, Yuehuaquan, there are also the yamen of the Bingmasi, Shantang General Hall, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice are also nearby. Walking further east is the location of the Judgment Department, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works.
Less than five miles ahead is the imperial palace forbidden garden.
Xia Sheng walked into the Shantang and found that there were indeed fewer people coming here today, but what he didn't expect was that this time, the manager at the counter was respectfully invited into the inner hall before he could reveal his identity.
Things seemed to have undergone some unexpected changes to Xia Sheng's business again.
And it is developing in a good direction.
Because this time the person who was responsible for receiving Xia Sheng was not the difficult-to-treasure Wei Gongshu last time, but a young man who seemed to be young.
As soon as Xia Sheng walked into the inner hall, he immediately stood up to greet Yan, with an extremely warm smile on his face and a close tone in his tone.
"You are Brother Xia, right? There is no way to welcome him, there is no way to welcome him..."
Xia Sheng frowned without a trace, and then, under the guidance of the manager, he came to the side of the boy and sat down. The table had already soaked in the best Dahongpao, and the freshest fruits and vegetables at this time, and it looked like he was completely welcoming guests.
It's a world of difference from the last time when Xia was born.
Seeing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but say wonderingly: "I don't know you are..."
The boy smiled, showed his extremely white teeth, his eyes were full of kindness, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Since Brother Xia is a guest in my Shantang, he may have heard of my name. My name is Qin Ran, so it's natural."
