Qing Lingyi was slightly startled, and his eyes immediately bloomed with thousands of brilliance.
She still remained vigilant and looked around to make sure no one was approaching and Cheng Yang had not yet come out of Xiangxue Pavilion.
She deliberately lowered her voice, her voice trembling, "Did you get any news?"
Xu Chaolu is a smart little girl, and she also imitates her soft voice: "At the end of last year, my brother and I were selecting horses in Mengmen, the northernmost part of Yongzhou, and we heard the children there always humming two songs."
She cleared her throat: "Snow-white robe, bright light armor, the lady guards the pass, and no one can open it."
"This is the first one."
Qing Yan always wears bright armor, wears white robes and rides on white horses. He once guarded the northern border for several years.
In fact, many children in Suidu can also sing this song.
"There is a second song, I'm actually not sure, but... I'll sing it first," Xu Chaolu scratched her head, "If Ah Tu Ah Tu Hu doesn't return, it will be difficult to escape and return."
Qing Lingyi's fingers were trembling a little.
Ah Tu is my mother's nickname, which means little tiger.
But even Zuo Xuan didn't know about this, and he only called her "Yanmei".
In other words, this second nursery rhyme is even more irrefutable proof that my mother is still alive, but she is just trapped somewhere.
"Brother said, it's just a nursery rhyme, it doesn't mean anything. Over the years, he has been sending people to investigate one after another, and he has also raised many spies from south to north. He can find out other things at once, but it's your mother ...There is really very little news. So my brother doesn’t dare to come to you." Xu Chaolu sighed.
"I'm very happy with this news." Qing Lingyi's voice was as gentle as water, her eyebrows were crescent, she was really happy.
She looked at Xu Chaolu, couldn't help but touched the little girl's face again, "It's not easy for your brother. Not only does he have to do so many things, but he also raises you so well, white and tender, and very upright. intelligent."
"I remember what you said, Sister Qing, to eat well, drink well, and sleep well!"
She showed a bit of regret, "It's just been a long time since I tasted Sister Qing's cooking. From south to north, there really is no one in the entire Daliang who makes anything as delicious as this!"
Qing Lingyi smiled and said: "Come to the general's house as a guest tomorrow, I will cook."
Xu Chaolu's eyes shone: "Is it really okay?"
Qing Lingyi nodded, "Okay. Let's have dinner tomorrow and call your brother over."
"good!"
"Mom! Do you want to make delicious food tomorrow?!"
Cheng Anle rushed out at a trot, his cheeks rosy due to excessive anticipation and excitement.
Qing Lingyi looked along and saw Cheng Yang walking towards Shi Shiran behind her.
He raised his eyes, met her gaze, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Mom! Don't just look at daddy!" Cheng Anle was unhappy.
Qing Lingyi then turned back and said, "I'll do it tomorrow."
After a pause, she pointed to Xu Chaolu beside her and added: "This is Chaolu, my good friend. You should call me aunt."
Cheng Anle said softly: "Aunt."
"Hey!" Xu Chaolu's heart softened, such a cute little girl!
Qing Lingyi recalled the look Cheng Yang gave Xu Chaolu when she mentioned Xu Yanshan, and specifically added: "I just invited this Aunt Xu to visit my home, and her brother."
Cheng Anle said in a long tone: "That's it -"
Qing Lingyi glanced at Cheng Yang again.
"Mom, where do we have to go back?" Cheng An pointed at the waterside pavilion.
"No," Qing Lingyi said, "I've seen the lotus flowers, let's go home."
"Yeah, go home!"
Cheng Anle wanted to go home so much. The lotus flowers were beautiful, but they were not as interesting as Dabai!
Qing Lingyi looked at Cheng Yang, "Husband, where are you?"
Cheng Yang said quietly: "I still have something to do."
Qing Lingyi's first reaction was to ask what was going on, but she thought it was too annoying, so she stopped talking in time.
Cheng Yang looked at her deeply and said, "I'm going to Lu Ting's place to get something."
Qing Lingyi was stunned for a moment.
Can he read minds?
"As for what it is," Cheng Yang's lips curved in a mysterious and ambiguous arc, "You'll find out later."
Qing Lingyi's heart skipped a beat, feeling that it was not a good thing.
She restrained herself from showing it and said, "Then... I have to trouble my husband to send someone to send the morning dew to her brother."
Cheng Yang responded: "Okay."
Qing ordered Yi and Cheng Anle to return home first.
Thinking about hosting a banquet for the Xu family brothers and sisters tomorrow night, after taking a short rest, Qing Lingyi called Wu Liang and made him a list.
"These are the dishes I will use tomorrow. There are meals and snacks. You have to prepare them carefully," Qing Lingyi warned, "I think the small kitchen in Yanshan Residence is almost ready. You can go and see if it is ready for use. I plan to cook there tomorrow.”
"Yes." Wu Liang put the list neatly into his sleeve.
"By the way, Butler Wu," Qing Lingyi asked, "Have you seen the guard Ji?"
"Guard Ji has been closely guarding Madam these days. Why hasn't Madam seen him?"
Qing Lingyi was even more strange.
Since he was protecting her closely, it was time for him to appear in Jiang Mansion.
To say the least, if he went to the hut like last time, then when he came back, Ji should show up and explain to her.
What happened to Ji Fanzhi?
·
"My subordinates are not well guarded. Please punish me by the general." Ji Fanzhi knelt on the cobblestone paved corridor, his shoulders and back were straight, but his head was lowered.
Si Rujian stood beside him with a stern expression.
Cheng Yang held a book in his hand and looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
Lu Ting looked surprised, "Why don't you teach your subordinates a lesson at home? What are you doing in my yard?"
Cheng Yang was indifferent, "If he were at home, my wife would intercede for him."
"Your wife is a kind-hearted person," Lu Ting still felt moved when he thought of Qing Lingyi, and tried to hold it back, "So what?"
"Madam, please forgive me and I will relent."
"What about my plea?"
"I'll pretend I didn't hear it."
Lu Ting:?
Are you forgetting your true love?
"I know my mistake," Ji Fanzhi also thought of his wife. Feeling guilty, his head buried deeper, "Please punish me, General."
"You probably know your mistake, but your master may not." Cheng Yang's voice was deep.
As soon as he turned his eyes, Si Rujian's expression became cold and tense.
"Si Rujian, tell me," Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"
Si Rujian frowned deeply: "The general means that he only regards her as amusement."
"It's a pastime, and it's the best pastime in the world. So Si Rujian, tell me, if my pastime is injured or damaged, who will compensate me? You?" Cheng Yang's eyebrows showed a ruthless look. .
He was obviously angry. Ji Fanzhi did not dare to say a word, and Lu Ting even retreated a few steps away.
Si Rujian was not afraid and met his gaze: "I want to ask the general, has the great revenge been avenged? Has the family prospered?"
Cheng Yang's eyes narrowed for a moment, and it was hard to distinguish between joy and anger on his face.
"The general takes her too seriously, and she is far from worthy." Si Rujian concluded.
Cheng Yang still didn't speak.
Si Rujian suddenly knelt down with a stern look on his face, "I am responsible for Fanzhi's fault today, and I am willing to be punished."
After a pause, he added: "I asked myself to temporarily take over Fanzhi's position and protect Qing Lingyi at close range."
