Chapter 50
"Brother Chen, let's meet again later." Cheng Xueyao saluted, but didn't hear any response for a long time. When she looked up, she thought that Yuan Chen, who had been focusing on her all the time, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her with an indiscernible expression. pointing in one direction.

She looked along and saw Cheng Nuo's little hooves.

I don't know if she noticed that Yuan Chen was looking at her, holding a piece of crispy white lotus root in his hand and having fun with the maid next to him.

Cheng Xueyao finally had a real understanding of what it meant to have a smile as bright as the rising sun.

She pinched the palms under her sleeves and resented the injustice of God countless times. Why should the daughter of the Cheng family who grew up in the country be born so beautiful?

"Sister Nuo, you are so beautiful, aren't you?" Cheng Xueyao said and looked at Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen had already withdrew his gaze and looked at the wine glass in his hand without knowing what he was thinking.

He said: "Be careful on the road, I won't send you away."

Is this a continuation of the previous topic?It turns out you didn't hear anything.

Cheng Xueyao smiled sarcastically in her heart and bowed again. Before leaving, she said with a bit of disappointment: "Sister, with such a good character, it is normal for people to lose sight of others."

Yuan Chen didn't answer.

Cheng Xuelan came over and reminded, "Sister Yao, the carriage on the shore is ready."

The boat docked, and a group of people got off the boat.

Xinnuo walked at the back, followed by Xu Ruqing, who was very flattering to her. At this time, he no longer looked like a handsome young man in the morning, and was carrying a large bag of heavy things on his shoulders in a rather embarrassed manner.

Yuan Chen stood on the deck to see each other off. Seeing this scene, he asked, "What is that man resisting?"

Ling Ren beside him couldn't help but laugh, coughed, and said, "To tell you the truth, Miss Cheng Er bought nearly a hundred kilograms of lotus roots."

After hearing this, Yuan Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He had an impression of this lotus root.

He came to Luming Lake often and was generous with his money. Whenever he saw anything selling snow lotus root, water chestnut, lotus seeds, etc. on the lake, he would tell them to put it away.

At first, I just felt that these women selling things were pitiful, but later it turned out that as soon as he came, women came to sell things.

"She is quite a narrow-minded person." Yuan Chen smiled, holding the fan in his hand, and turned back to the cabin.

Ling Ren asked doubtfully: "Master, we won't go back either?"

"I won't go back. I'll rest outside the city tonight." The voice came from the cabin.

----

The carriage slowly came in along with the team entering the city, and suddenly there was a chaotic sound of panic at the city gate.

"Close the city gate."

"Master, we have to go out of town to do some business."

"Tell us to come in."

"Mother, mother."

"Everyone go back and follow the Holy Spirit's instructions to close the city gate." Amidst the chaos, someone came on horseback.

The Cheng family carriage that had just entered the city gate stopped here, and several girls stood at the window and looked over there.

Cheng Xuelan whispered and couldn't hide her excitement: "Did something happen?"

Chen Xueyao was quite disdainful, "Didn't you see that the person who came to deliver the message was wearing the clothes of a court guard? It seems to be the same one, Commander He in front of the imperial court."

Something big must have happened.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xinnuo sitting on the other side of the carriage, opened the curtain and jumped out.

Because the city gate was suddenly closed, the area was now in chaos.

There was a child standing on the street, calling for mother at the gate of the city.

Xinnuo saw clearly just now that when his mother was closing the city gate, she was pushed outside by the guards who were blocking people from entering.

She walked over, wiped the child's tears, and said to the guard who was riding a horse and patrolling the city gate: "Can you open the door a crack and send him out?"

When the guards heard the sound, they all looked this way. The man who was obviously the leader said expressionlessly: "From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gate."

Xinnuo looked at the little child who was holding his chubby hands by his legs, rubbing his eyes and crying, and said, "Then we can't separate him from his mother. Who cares about him when the city gate will be closed?"

There were people surrounding the city gate who were in a hurry to leave the city. When they saw someone coming forward, they all started shouting.

"At least let those of us at the city gate go out first." A fat man shouted the loudest, "We will definitely be fine."

The guard leader's eyes were steely, and he covered him with a glance, which scared the fat man into silence immediately.

The little fat man was still crying: "I want my mother, I want my mother."

At this time, there were also worried screams from outside the city gate: "Son, my son. Officer, tell me to go in and bring my son out."

The leader of the imperial guard seemed to have a headache from the little fat man's crying. He got off his horse, walked over and squatted down, looked at the little fat man's face from side to side, and then carried him to the city gate.

Some people were ready to ask for mercy, but before they could open their mouths, other guards drew their spears and shouted: "No one is allowed to come forward."

Xin Nuo watched the man take the little fat man to the city gate, opened the door half way, and handed it to an anxious woman outside, then turned around and returned to the carriage.

As soon as he came up, Cheng Xuelan admired: "You are so bold, dare to bargain with that person?"

Xin Nuo raised his eyebrows, that person, who is that person?More powerful than senior brother?
Cheng Xueyao said to the outside: "Let's go. It seems like something big has happened in the capital. We'd better not stay here."

Cheng Xuelan sat next to Xin Nuo, held her arm, and said enthusiastically: "Do you know who the person you ran out to provoke just now is?"

Xinnuo: "Why did I provoke you?"

"Oh, this is not important," Cheng Xuelan's face was full of excitement, "He is He Jiuxi. Do you know who He Jiuxi is? The eldest grandson of Mr. He, the Minister of Household Affairs. His father spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. He had stayed in his hometown in the countryside with his mother for more than ten years. He took the imperial examination a few years ago and entered the capital. But he didn't pass the examination at all. He showed his skills at a hunting party and was reused by the emperor. This He is selfless and ruthless in dealing with things, which can stop a child from crying at night."

Xinnuo pushed Cheng Xuelan's hand away, and sat a little further away from her. After she finished speaking excitedly, she said, "Isn't it right for someone who works for the emperor to be unselfish? Why are you so excited?"

Cheng Xuelan smiled and said, "But he gave you face today."

Cheng Xueyao covered her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "My sister is so beautiful, no matter what kind of man he is, I have to give you face."

Yo, are you starting to flatter me?
Xin Nuo said: "I don't dare to take it seriously."
