Those Years In Quest Of Honor Mine

After Zhong Wan made up his mind, he communicated with Xuan Rui and the others.

Zhong Wan didn't want them to worry for no reason, so he didn't take it seriously, and said at the dinner table in a relaxed tone: "After the Longevity Festival, I want to stay in Beijing for a while."

Zhong Wan said it easily, but the children were still stunned.

Zhong Wan's expression was natural: "I still have one or two old friends in Beijing, it's inconvenient now, when you leave, I want to avoid people and go take care of them."

Several people looked at each other, what "old friends" did Zhong Wan have?

Xuan Congxin was the first to react. She pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and said slowly, "After meeting this time...the emperor probably won't think of us anymore. There is nothing serious about Qian'an. If you are in Beijing If there is something unfinished in the middle, just leave it.”

Xuan Yu looked at Xuan Congxin and then at Zhong Wan, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he said urgently: "Why did you stay?! I won't be separated from you! It's so cold, can you bear it? Let's go back together , What's the matter with you? Otherwise... Let brother and sister go back first, I will accompany you, and when your business is over, let's go back together!"

"Zhong Wan naturally has her own business." Xuan Congxin looked down on his younger brother's useless appearance of crying at every turn, frowned and scolded, "What's there to cry about?! Don't cry! Hold back!"

"I..." Xuan Yu was afraid of his strong sister since he was a child, and he didn't dare to cry when he was scolded. He held back his tears and said pitifully, "Then Zhong Wan, when are you going back? I... I'll wait for your head office, right? I, I..."

Xuan Yu went to the doctor in a hurry and said indiscriminately, "I still have to study with you!"

"Who can't study like me?!" Xuan Cong frowned, "Can't we afford a gentleman? How dare you cry!"

Xuan Yu immediately stopped her tears, and was too scared to say a word.

Zhong Wan sighed, thinking what a pity, if Xuan Congxin was a man, he would be able to establish a family in less than two years, so he could really feel relieved.

Zhong Wan looked at Xuan Rui, Xuan Rui swallowed his food worriedly, and after a while he said slowly: "Go back with us, you are here...you don't trust us, and we don't trust you either."

Xuan Congxin frowned: "Brother, why even you..."

Xuan Rui raised his head and stared at Xuan Congxin, and said angrily in a low voice: "Is Jingzhong easy to stay in? You grew up carefree in Qian'an, how do you know what we suffered before? At that time, you were always in fear. I don’t even want a day of…”

"Don't worry." Zhong Wan patted Xuan Rui's hand in relief, "I don't do anything, just..."

"Why don't you think about him at all?" Xuan Congxin couldn't help it, "Zhong Wan will be 24 this year, in an ordinary family, this..."

Xuan Congxin is a girl, no matter how strong she is, she can't say anything. She blushed slightly and paused before saying: "After the Longevity Festival, our palace will be completely stable. After taking care of us for so many years, he has to think about himself. something?"

Xuan Yu was stunned, "What... about my business?"

Xuan Congxin's cheeks were flushed, and he said in a low voice: "Now that the emperor has exempted Zhong Wan from slavery, it's time to settle the matter. Is there any noble daughter in Qian'an? After returning, I can't find any suitable ones. He is going to settle the marriage in Beijing, why are you all..."

Xuan Congxin said that she couldn't go on anymore, she lowered her head and took a sip of the soup, her voice was inaudible, "When his marriage is settled... he will take his wife back, why are you in a hurry?"

Xuan Rui turned to look at Zhong Wan, and said happily, "So that's the case? Are you looking for my little sister-in-law?"

Xuan Rui also looked over, dumbfounded: "You... mean?"

Zhong Wan looked at the three of them without a word, and smiled dryly: "What should I say..."

Xuan Congxin was very curious, but due to his daughter's status, he couldn't say much, so he could only insinuate, "Or... which one have you already fallen in love with?"

Xuan Yu excitedly said: "Is the little sister-in-law good-looking?"

Zhong Wan could only make mistakes, and said awkwardly: "It looks good..."

Xuan Congxin couldn't help asking, "How old are you?"

Zhong Wan said with difficulty: "Twenty...three."

The three looked at each other.

A needle can be heard in the hall for a while.

The two younger ones were embarrassed to say, but Xuan Rui hesitated, "Isn't this too old? You...don't wrong yourself."

Zhong Wan knocked out her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach, trying her best to smile: "I'm not wronged... I don't think it's too big."

"It's not too young." Xuan Cong murmured in his heart, "You...why find someone so old?"

Zhong Wan smiled dryly: "I'm not young anymore, and he... doesn't look very old."

Xuan Rui was taken aback: "Have you seen it?!"

Zhong Wan regretted not falling, "Hmm..." Zhong Wan wished to bite herself to death, why did she tell such a lie... What excuses can't be used to deceive them? !

Xuan Yu's eyes glowed: "Then tell me, how is your stature!"

Zhong Wan was regretting secretly in her heart, and said uncontrollably for a moment, "Slightly taller than me."

"Hey..." Xuan Yu was shocked, "Taller than you!!!"

Xuan Rui and Xuan Congxin's expressions also changed suddenly.

What kind of girl did Zhong Wan find? !

"Ah, no." Zhong Wan tightly clenched his fists, "It's almost the same as me, I... I don't value these things."

"It's fine if you like it." Xuan Congxin looked at Zhong Wan with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but ask again, "Then...how is your temperament?"

At such an old age, with such a burly body, Zhong Wan can still fall in love with him. There must be something special about this person, maybe he has a good temper, gentle and considerate?

"Benevolence..."

Zhong Wan's heart is uncertain, moody, always wanting to kill, always wanting to go crazy.

If he said this, Xuanrui Xuanyu Xuan Congxin would not let him stay even if he died.

This is what kind of monster...

Zhong Wan held back and said: "Very good..."

The three of them looked at each other two by two, thinking that Zhong Wan should just be happy.

After a meal, several people went back to their respective houses with their own concerns.

Zhong Wan heaved a sigh of relief, laughed twice, and went back to her courtyard.

As soon as he entered the house, housekeeper Yan Pingshan followed him outside.

"what happened?"

Zhong Wan sat next to the brazier, took the iron chopsticks, put a piece of charcoal from his hand stove into the brazier, moved the charcoal in the basin, and blew lightly. After a while, the charcoal basin heated up.

Yan Pingshan closed the doors and windows, and said in a low voice: "I heard from our people that the third prince may be in trouble."

Zhong Wan frowned.

The third prince has been ill since he was born, and it has been difficult for him to delay for more than thirty years, but why did something happen at this moment...

Yan Pingshan was full of worries: "It's better to wait for a few more months until the Longevity Festival is over... Otherwise, the funeral will be around the Longevity Festival, and we still won't be able to leave first."

"Yes..." Zhong Wan asked, "What did the imperial physician say?"

Yan Pingshan said: "The imperial doctor said that if you survive the vernal equinox, you will be well."

Zhong Wan hissed: "That means he won't live past the vernal equinox...it happens to be around Wanshou Festival."

Yan Pingshan couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Don't choose a good time."

Zhong Wan asked: "The Emperor must have known about it too, so is the Longevity Day still over?"

"Okay." Yan Pingshan smiled contemptuously, and said in a low voice, "The third prince is struggling to drink porridge now, and I haven't seen the emperor so sad, so what should I do? Just recently, I even invited the clan to a banquet, eat enough and sleep well Got it, no one is as comfortable as him."

Zhong Wan is worried, if this happens... I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few more months.

Over at Prince Yu's Mansion, Yu She has been in a bad mood for the past few days.

He originally wanted to find Lin Si's fault, and arrest him and imprison him in Dali Temple for another two days, but after a few days passed, Lin Si seemed to have suddenly become wilted, and stayed in the fourth prince's mansion all day without showing his head.

Yu She doesn't know that Lin Si got Zhong Wan's order to stand still, he just thinks that this dumb person is born to restrain himself, when he is not in use, he is in the way every day, and when he is in use, he can't find him no matter what.

Yu She became impatient, "There's nothing wrong with him, so I can't catch him? No need to make excuses, just get him here!"

Steward Feng sneered: "Arrest him for no reason, I'm afraid he will offend the Fourth Highness..."

Yu She asked back: "Am I afraid of offending him?"

Steward Feng was stunned, thinking yes, you even dare to offend the emperor, what are you afraid of?

Just like that, Lin Si just went out of the mansion to breathe, but was caught in a sack by the people of Yu Wang's mansion.

Yu She sat in the front seat, looking down at Lin Si.

Seven years ago, after Zhong Wan left, Yu She had no interaction with Lin Si at first.

Yu She doesn't take care of him, and won't make trouble for him, and they live in peace with each other.

Until Lin Si desperately checked Yu She's life experience.

Yu She was really moved to kill that day.

Even after Xuanjing made a scene in Dali Temple, Yu She didn't change his mind.

Xuan Jing dared to check his life experience, if he didn't teach him a lesson, he was waiting to die.

"If it wasn't for..." Yu She looked at Lin Si for a while, but didn't say anything, and said lightly, "Bring it up."

The servants brought up countless instruments of torture and fell in front of Lin Si.

"You are clear about my methods..." Yu She said slowly, "You don't need to tell me not to lynch. In my case, there are no rules. I will just ask you one thing. You don't have to say it. Let's talk about it together." One torture tool and one torture tool slowly."

Yu She was well versed in the way of torture, so he was not in a hurry to do it, but found an old government servant who was good at using torture, and asked him to arrange dozens of torture instruments one by one, and was going to give Lin Si a blow first.

The instruments of torture in Dali Temple are much more refined than those in the Ministry of Punishment. The old yamen servant took half an hour to fix them. Yu She sipped his tea slowly, "Don't worry, I have plenty of time."

Lin Si looked at the instruments of torture, then looked up at Yu She.

Yu She finally paid attention to Lin Si, and asked, "What's Zhong Wan's nickname?"

Lin Si: "..."

Yu She's tone was calm: "Don't tell me you don't know, you two grew up together, I won't believe it."

Yu She put down the teacup, looked at a torture tool, and said, "Don't want to talk about it? Okay, let me tell you first... Do you want to know what this is for? I'm just free today, so I can talk to you slowly... "

Lin Si struggled slightly, Yu She narrowed his eyes.

Lin Si raised a hand with difficulty and pressed it to the ground.

Yu She looked at him suspiciously.

Lin Si was pressed down by two servants, and it was quite inconvenient to move. He raised his hand, dipped the pepper water on the ground with great effort, and wrote two words stroke by stroke on the bluestone board in front of him— — Zhong Wan's nickname.

Then kowtow.

Yu She: "..."

After a while, Yu She said: "You are so loyal, does your master Zhong Wan know?"

Lin Si felt a little ashamed on his face, lowered his head, and stopped answering.

Yu She looked at the instruments of torture in the room full of words...

What is the purpose of fiddle with these old decorations for an hour?

"Very good, I can bend and stretch." Yu She said for a while, "You can go."

Lin Si kowtowed again and left.
