Flowers are expensive

Chapter 155 The Arrival of You Xian'er 2
Manting walked into Xie's courtyard while thinking about Lihua.Aunt Xie came out of the kitchen with her rice bowl in her hand, glanced at him and said, "Man Ting, hurry up, it's time to eat!"

After the whole family sat down, only Jin Linger was missing.Aunt Xie asked Man Sheng, "Where did Jin Ling'er go?"

Man Sheng was about to speak when Jin Ling'er hurried back.Mrs. Zhuang rubbed her slightly protruding belly, and said displeasedly: "What's the matter? I have to wait for a meal, I can't afford to wait!"

"Don't wait any longer, hurry up and eat, we'll talk about it later!" Aunt Xie hurriedly smoothed things over.

After Jin Ling'er sat down next to Man Sheng, she held up her job bowl, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, I want to go to the county government office with my elder brother to see my father."

"When? How long?" Mrs. Xie asked.

"Just leave the day after tomorrow. Just now my elder brother came to tell me that he will go for six or seven days. Mother, my father raised me for a while. Now I am locked in a big prison. I don't know what I look like. I really should go. take a look."

"Oh, don't run away halfway like Qin Lihua!" Aunt Xie said in a hurry.

Everyone at the table looked at the whole court together, Xie Wu kicked Aunt Xie under the table.She hurriedly smiled at the whole court: "It's okay to run away, mother will find another one for you later."

"You don't have to be busy, I don't want it." Man Ting said lightly.

Jin Ling'er glanced at Man Ting, and said with a sneer, "Mother, you underestimate Fourth Uncle too much. Everyone in the village says that Fourth Uncle is a man of great promise, so why would you feel sad for a little Qin Lihua? I think it's a bit wronged to trap fourth uncle in this mountain, and he doesn't want to ask him to be the village head, I'm afraid he doesn't like the job of the village head!"

"That's right, Man Ting!" Aunt Xie complained, "The whole village asked you to be the village head, but you refused to do it, and you gave it to Yutao's father. Are you really confused by Qin Lihua? gone?"

Xie Wu interjected: "What do you know? Man Ting is too young, and the elders don't listen to what he says, so he is not suitable to be the village chief. Yutao's father is as old as he is, and his seniority is also there, he is capable and loyal , who should go if he doesn't? You woman, if you don't understand, don't talk!"

"But it's always a good thing for my family to be the village head!" Aunt Xie still felt a little regretful.

Man Ting ate in silence, ignoring their words.Since Lihua left, the dinner table has become more and more boring. He is always the first one to leave after eating.

After putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Man Ting got up and left the hall, and walked to the attic.Guan Shi suddenly stopped him behind him, walked down the steps slowly on crutches, walked up to him and asked with a smile: "Man Ting, didn't you think of going to look for Lihua?"

"Why does grandma ask like that?" Man Ting asked back while looking at Guan Shi.What is so different about this old woman from ordinary people?
Mrs. Guan chuckled twice and said, "I'm just asking casually, I'm afraid you will be too sad! People in the village say that Lihua hates the poor and loves the rich and leaves, but I don't think so, so I want to ask you and Lihua to come out of the mountain. Did you quarrel when you were young? Don't be shy to tell grandma that it's not uncommon for young couples to quarrel and get angry. "

"No." Man Ting vetoed it.

"Oh, grandma is from here, so I have to advise you. If you really quarrel over trivial matters and separate, then it's really not worth it. You two have such a good relationship, it's too late for others to envy you! If you want to find Lihua, grandma will not I can give you some money. Get her back, and the family can live in peace and contentment, won't you?"

Guan's face always had an elder's loving smile, which made it difficult for Man Ting to guess what kind of person she was.If this smile is fake, then the old woman is hiding it too deeply.Man Ting lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked Guan, "It's very inconvenient for me to go out of the mountain and search around in a daze. Does grandma know anyone outside the mountain, can you help me?"

"Oh..." Guan smiled again after a pause of half a second, "Your grandfather and I visited many places and met many people when we went out of the mountain, unfortunately, those are casual acquaintances, so I can't trust you. It's nothing. But you, didn't you make any friends outside the mountain before?"

"Grandma forgot?" Man Ting stared into Guan's eyes and said, "I can't remember some things."

"Hehehe... I forgot about it. Okay, whenever you want to go, you can tell grandma, and grandma will help you. But grandma always feels very worried about leaving Lihua outside alone. .”

"Grandma wants her back so much?" Man Ting sensed that Guan was hiding something.

"Ewha is so well-behaved, she doesn't look like a girl who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Among the granddaughters-in-law, I like her the most. Manting, if you can help grandma find Lihua back, then grandma will have nothing to worry about. "

"Grandma seems to be more nervous about her than me?" Man Ting continued to ask in a tentative tone.

"Grandma is nervous about you, that's why she loves her so much. I see that you two have such a good relationship, how can you say that you are separated? I still expect her to give me a great-grandson! By the way, I told you last time Don't let her drink, have you told her? Women who have never conceived a child should drink less."

"I said it, but it doesn't seem to matter if I say it or not."

"That's true," Guan nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll go, I'm going back to my room."

Guan Shi turned around slowly, and walked towards her small room with heavy steps.Man Ting has been watching her back, trying to find some clues, but unfortunately nothing.

That night, after Xie's family had fallen asleep, You Xian'er came to the attic.She glanced outside through the crack of the door and said: "The Xie family doesn't seem to have changed much, it just added a few more rooms and a few more people."

"How do you know? Have you been here before?"

"I was already outside the courtyard, but you didn't see it. What's the matter? Your Highness, do you want to go?" You Xian'er leaned against the window and asked.

"I said, I will go back when I think of it."

"What about Jingyou City? What about Princess Jingtai? If you don't go back, the imperial court will send people to investigate, and we can't stop it. If the imperial court really thinks you are dead, then your fief will be gone, your subordinates What about those people?"

"Is my subordinate so capable?"

"Your subordinates are already very capable, Your Highness! If we hadn't strictly guarded against death, I'm afraid that the news of your death would have been announced long ago. Lian Cong had already spread rumors in Bianjing that you died early. Fortunately, Jingtai has always denied it. , saying that you are seriously injured in bed and need to recuperate. But you have been convalescing for two years, so you must show your figure to speak! Yuan Yin, do you want to recover your memory here or wait for that Miss Qin to come back?"

Man Ting was slightly startled, and said expressionlessly: "The bird spirit will really betray me."

"I forced her to say it to death, okay? Tell me anyway, how long do you want to stay here? One month, two months, half a year, one year, you have to have a deadline, you can't let Jingyou Princess Cheng and Jingtai leave it there. If you still think about Miss Qin, you can send someone to find her and make her a side concubine, isn't that all right? I think Jingtai won't mind."

"But she minds."

"What? Does she mind? Could it be that she left because you had a wife?"

Man Ting didn't answer, and felt a faint pain in his heart.You Xian'er noticed his strange expression, seemed to understand something, sighed lightly and said: "This girl is really stubborn! Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, let alone you are a prince. She cares about you If you have a wife, is it possible that you are going to divorce Princess Jingtai? Leaving aside Qichu and whether you have feelings for Jingtai, she was married by imperial decree. If you divorce her, doesn't it mean you are disobeying the imperial decree? It's amnesia, not insanity, understand?"

Man Ting glanced at You Xian'er and asked, "Didn't I tell you that you were annoying?"

"Zhao Yuanyin!"

"There is nothing else, you go back to Jingyou City."

"Give me a deadline and I'll leave, so I can go back and explain to the mirror! People are waiting there anxiously, isn't it pitiful?"

"Then why didn't I like her before?" Man Ting asked.

You Xian'er was speechless, wondering why you don't like her!Seeing that she couldn't answer, Manting added another sentence: "Poor people must have something to hate."

"I'm so angry!" You Xian'er patted her heart and exhaled, "Every time I talk to you, I can vomit blood from anger!"

"Is that why you moved to the temple?"

"Almost! In short, Zhao Yuanyin, if you don't come back within two months, I will tell Jingtai your whereabouts. At that time, whether she will come to you is her business. I hope you are right When you look at her, you can still speak so lightly!"

"No delivery."

"I..." You Xian'er was so angry that she couldn't speak, "I didn't expect you to send me off! I really don't understand. After raising three children, why are you so disrespectful? I am Where is your sister-in-law and nurse!"

Man Ting pushed open the window, gestured to leave, and said, "Then let Que Ling come to pick you up, is that all right?"

"No need! I can find my way back by myself! Find something to remember, so I can move back to the temple as soon as possible! Otherwise, you can tell me that I will leave all the affairs of King You's Mansion to Jingtai, then I will relax Already!"

"It's not a good nurse."

"Zhao Yuanyin!" You Xian'er gritted her teeth and pointed at him and said, "I'll settle the score with you when you think of everything! You disrespectful guy! Hmph!" After humming, she flew down from the attic like a sparrow spirit Disappeared in the night like Yan Amber.

Man Ting guessed that You Xian'er was not here alone.How could there be no one around such an important lady in Jingyou City when she was traveling?So, he closed the window with confidence.

But not long after, he opened the window again, lying on the bedside and looking at the endless night.He remembered that Lihua used to like to talk by the window at night, asking him if he saw the constellation Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, why there were no fireflies, and where the clouds went when he was asleep.

The quieter the night, the more he misses pear blossoms.He wondered what Ewha was doing at the moment?Have you already forgotten yourself?When Deng Kaixing said that Lihua might be in Ningjiawan, at that moment, he suddenly felt something bursting out of his body.But he knew that if he had no memory, he would not be able to give Lihua an explanation, so he ordered Yan Amber to secretly go to Ningjiawan to look for it. If it was there, it would be the best.

But today, he didn't wait for Yan Amber to report, but instead waited for You Xian'er.When this woman mentioned Banna Jingtai, he really didn't feel it at all, but why did he only remember the name of the Han Chinese who married Banna Jingtai?He felt very confused and irritable, so he simply closed the window with a bang, turned around and opened the door, intending to go downstairs to drink some cold water to calm down.But as soon as the door opened, Guan's figure appeared in front of him.

"Grandma..." Man Ting was a little surprised, what was Mrs. Guan doing standing in the yard at night?

Guan's face was facing the direction of the door and she looked up at the dark gray sky. When she heard the voice of Man Ting, she turned her head and said, "Man Ting, haven't you slept yet?"

"It's cold at night, grandma shouldn't stay outside." Man Ting walked down the stairs slowly.

"So you come to watch the stars with grandma?"
