Kneel down and beg to return to the field

Mrs. He is an activist, not to mention He Zhi's marriage is not in her heart for a day or two.It's rare to get good news in Lingquan Temple today, how can I let it go easily?So as soon as the group returned home, she asked someone to call for Xi Qiu.

As soon as he entered Mrs. He's room, before Xi Qiu could salute, he heard Mrs. He say, "Xi Qiu, two days ago you accompanied Miss to Jingming Lake, did you encounter anything special?"

Earlier when he prayed to the Buddha and asked for a signature, the servants of the He family were waiting outside the Daxiong Palace, so Xi Qiu didn't know about the signature. The young lady suddenly came and wanted to go swimming in the lake, she left the door at Chen Shi, and came back before Shen Shi, and she never encountered anything on the way."

Mrs. He was taken aback when she heard this, and then asked again: "Since you haven't encountered anything, have you ever met anyone?"

After Xi Qiu heard this, he still shook his head, and he didn't hesitate to answer: "No. The lady made a sudden idea, so she didn't ask out any friends in the boudoir, and I never met them on the way. From the time I went out to the time I came back, except for the servants who followed, Miss is always alone."

After hearing this, Mrs. He's heart sank.Although the signed letter said that her daughter's good news was imminent, but what she saw was believing was what she heard, and she was not sure if there was a sure candidate.But after thinking about it, he remembered He Zhi's subtle expression at that moment earlier, and a burst of hope surged in his heart.Immediately, he pointed at Xi Qiu with a straight face: "Think about it for me!"

Mrs. He naturally treats He Zhi well, but the housekeeper is also a good hand, and there are few servants in the family who are not afraid of her.Seeing her serious face at this time, Xi Qiu's heart skipped a beat, he was a little scared at first, lest there was something wrong with the young lady, and the madam wanted to investigate further.But after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it, so I had to think about what happened that day again.

After a long while, Xi Qiu raised his head, with an expression on the verge of tears: "Ma'am, it's really nothing. The lady just swam in the lake for a while that day, and she didn't meet anyone after chartering a boat. She rowed on Jingming Lake for two days. After playing the piano for a while, I came back."

Seeing Xi Qiu like that, Mrs. He was also helpless.She sighed, and finally asked: "Did you meet other people swimming in Jingming Lake when you were on Jingming Lake? Or, on the way back, did you see anyone special?"

As soon as Mrs. He's attitude softened, Xi Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, she understood more or less.Moreover, after being reminded by Madam He, she finally thought of something, but she hesitated when she spoke: "It was hot in the past two days, and there were not many people in the upper reaches of Jingming Lake. Looking at the lady who is dumbfounded..."

"Oh, why didn't you tell me about this just now?!" Mrs. He became excited immediately.

Xi Qiu was a little aggrieved: "But ma'am, miss just glanced at that man. After that, the two of them didn't talk to each other, and the boat passed by..." How did she know that Madam would ask such a passer-by? !

Mrs. He didn't care about this, she just asked: "How about that man?"

Xi Qiu shook his head: "I don't know him. Looking at his age in his twenties, he looks pretty good... Oh, yes, when the boat passed by, I heard a lot of people talking on the opposite side. It sounded like they were talking about military camps. things in here."

barracks? !Madam He changed her mind, and the first thing that came to her mind was naturally the Dingbei Army who had just returned to the court recently and caused an uproar in the capital.Could it be that that person was actually a member of the Dingbei Army?But a bunch of rough men in the military camp had finally come back from northern Xinjiang. What kind of lake did they go to the upper reaches of Jingming Lake?

Mrs. He was born in a scholarly family, so she doesn't really like those rude warriors in the barracks.When Xi Qiu said this, the first word that popped up in her mind was thick-backed, and the second word was five big and three thick.So the excitement was reduced by half immediately, and he frowned and asked: "Apart from this, is there anyone else?"

Xi Qiu replied affirmatively: "No more. After that, the lady started playing the piano, and when a small boat passed by, the lady didn't look up. On the way back to the house, the lady didn't even lift the curtain of the carriage. I didn't see anyone else either."

When Mrs. He heard this, she was immediately discouraged, and immediately waved her hand and said: "Okay, you go down, and don't tell her about it if Miss doesn't ask."

Xi Qiu naturally complied, and seeing that Mrs. He had no other orders, he quickly withdrew.When she was about to leave the hospital, her heart was still full of doubts, she didn't understand what the well-behaved Mrs. He was doing when she asked these questions.

On the other side, as soon as Xi Qiu left, Mrs. He asked someone to call the housekeeper, Uncle He, and ordered without saying anything: "Go and find out, is there someone in the Dingbei Army who was quiet on the day Miss went out to visit the lake?" Minghu lake tour. If there are, who are they?"

Seeing Mrs. He's order so solemnly, Uncle He was also shocked, thinking that something serious happened, so he quickly agreed to send someone to investigate.Then after dark and before going to bed, the names of Wei Lai and the others reached Mrs. He's ears.

Coincidentally, when Uncle He was talking back, Shangshu He had already returned and was sitting next to Mrs. He drinking tea.Hearing that his wife asked people to investigate the Northern Army for no reason, he was a little curious for a while, so he asked: "Dingbei Army just came back, what did you ask them to do?"

Mrs. He glanced at him when she heard the words, and then she asked Uncle He and the two servant girls in the room to retreat.When she and He Shangshu were the only ones left in the room, he opened his mouth and said, "Why do you think I have nothing to do to investigate those soldiers? It's not because of Zhi'er."

He Shangshu originally just asked casually, and didn't take it too seriously, but at this moment he was taken aback when he heard the words: "What does it have to do with Zhi'er?"

When Mrs. He heard the question, she immediately told He Shangshu everything about today.Including the signed document, as well as He Zhi's reaction and subsequent questioning of Xi Qiu.After finishing speaking, Mrs. He added with some reluctance: "If what that girl Xi Qiu said is true, is it true that our Zhi'er really likes someone in Dingbei Army? But Dingbei Army Those brats in the..."

Before he could finish his complaint, He Shangshu interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Madam, don't make any assertions, this matter needs to be considered. But I just heard that one of the people swimming in the lake was called Wei Lai? By the way, did that girl Xi Qiu say what the person who met Zhi'er's eyes looked like?"

Mrs. He's face was full of displeasure: "I told you, she looks like she's in her 20s, and she looks pretty good."

When He Shangshu heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "That's not bad. The person Xi Qiu mentioned is probably really that Wei Lai."

"Do you know this person?" Mrs. He asked in surprise.

He Shangshu heard this but shook his head: "It's only been a few days since Dingbei Army returned to the court. Where can I get to know him? It's just that I just met him once. The emperor held a celebration banquet that day and specially rewarded Wei Lai, but she didn't He came with Marshal Wei, and sent someone to send him to the school grounds. This man is young and promising, he is only 23 years old this year, and he has already been named a fifth-rank General Dingyuan with his military achievements. After a few days to set the reward, this official position should be able to be promoted again."

It was rare to hear that He Shangshu appreciated someone, Madam He's attitude eased a little, but she was still a little dissatisfied: "Don't talk about those hypocrisy. No matter how good Wei Lai is, he is just a reckless man. How can we get along? I think we must have made a mistake, maybe it is someone Zhi'er has met before, or has not met."

"It's destined to come back from thousands of miles away... Doesn't this mean that the person came back from thousands of miles away? Except for Wei Lai, I'm afraid you won't find a few people Zhi'er has met recently, and they came from afar." He Shangshu Shaking his head, he said again: "Then Wei Lai looks pretty good, he doesn't seem like a rough person. I'll look for opportunities to see each other again, if the character is fair, it's not bad."

In a few words, it seems that this matter is going to be settled? !Mrs. He suddenly panicked, fearing that her negligence would harm her daughter for the rest of her life, she hurriedly said: "Just now you told me not to assert, but now you are in a hurry. You should have someone look into this matter first, and in my opinion, Our Zhi'er is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so we should be matched with a literary and elegant scholar, so how can we find a martial artist with five big and three rough?"

He Shangshu smiled meaningfully when he heard the words: "Martial arts man? It is not an ordinary martial arts man who can become a confidant of Wei Yan from a mere soldier in the Dingbei Army to a general of Dingyuan, and is valued by the emperor. And she killed Extraordinary, has seen blood, and just returned from the battlefield. Such a person, life is hard!"

The word "fate is hard" hit Mrs. He's heart heavily, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything after all.After a moment of silence, he just muttered in a low voice: "But, what if she bullies Zhi'er in the future..."
