Time is slow

   Chapter 147 Under the Tree

   At that moment, it was like a stormy wave slapped in Shao Mingyuan's heart.

   He was still standing upright, with a straight waist and a pair of dark eyes that made it impossible to see the turbulent emotions, but his eyes were always on Qiao Zhao and he forgot to look away.

   By the ear, Qiao Mo was asking: Shao Mingyuan, do you know my sister's boudoir name?

   Then, Qiao Mo said: You remember, she has a single name with the word "Zhao", which is the "Zhao" that the sages use to make people more famous.

   At that time, the name was engraved on his heart.

   I will never forget it in this life.

  The girl looked over and smiled.

   Chi Can said lightly: "This 'Zhao'."

  Li Zhao, it sounds pretty good.

   "General Shao, thank you for today, I want to go back as soon as possible, my family may be worried."

   "Oh, I'll make arrangements now." Shao Mingyuan retracted his gaze, passed over his friend, turned around in silence, and walked out.

  The carriage was replaced with a carriage similar to the one that Qiao Zhao had broken apart. It was half-new and not old and would not attract attention. The driver and the horse pulling the carriage were all the same.

  Qiao Zhao turned around before getting into the car: "General Shao, please take a step to speak."

   Li Shenyi, who had just gotten into the carriage, suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, stuck his head out, and stared at Shao Mingyuan with a burning gaze.

   Chi Can, who was standing not far away, squinted even more, his eyes wandering between Qiao Zhao and Shao Mingyuan.

  Shao Mingyuan has a feeling of being watched by thousands of people. He has experienced this feeling many times, but only this time made him feel strange.

   However, the girl's expression was calm and generous, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

  The two went all the way to a place where others could see but couldn't hear, then stopped and spoke under the banyan tree.

   "Does Miss Li have anything to do?"

   Shao Mingyuan asked politely, but Qiao Zhao was keenly aware of a kind of alienation.

   It seems that something has changed since returning to Chunfenglou.

  Qiao Zhao didn't care, just smiled and said, "General Shao, Grandpa Li told me that he will leave Beijing tomorrow, and you sent two people to protect him."

"Yes."

"I heard that the southern coast is quite unsafe. Although the generals sent by the generals are definitely first-class masters, but sometimes two fists can't beat four hands, so I worry a little less. Grandpa Li doesn't like too many people following him. If it is convenient for General Shao, can you send a few more people to protect you secretly?"

   After Qiao Zhao finished speaking, seeing that Shao Mingyuan just looked at her without saying a word, he pursed his lips lightly, and asked him, "Am I asking too much?"

   A smile appeared in Shao Mingyuan's eyes, and he said warmly: "No, Miss Li, don't worry, I have arranged for someone to protect secretly."

  Qiao Zhaoshui apricot-like eyes curled up, and solemnly blessed Shao Mingyuan: "Then thank you General Shao."

   "You're welcome, Miss Li." Shao Mingyuan turned his body sideways and didn't accept her courtesy, "If Miss Li encounters trouble in the future, she can also have someone contact the shopkeeper of Chunfenglou. I come here often."

   He paused, looked back, and changed his words: "Or it's the same with Shi Xi for help."

   Qiao Zhao frowned and looked at him.

   Shao Mingyuan was a little embarrassed by her, thinking to himself: He doesn't seem to have said anything wrong, why are several people looking at him strangely today?

   The confused young general and the frowning girl looked at each other, not daring to talk nonsense for a while.

   "Thank you General Shao for worrying about it." Qiao Zhao finished word by word and walked away.

   Lifted his foot and left?

   Shao Mingyuan shook his head and followed.

  Qiao Zhao didn't stop any longer and got into the carriage. The old coachman raised his horsewhip and flicked it gently. The carriage slowly moved and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

   Chi Can gave Shao Mingyuan a sidelong glance, and smiled not coldly: "You guys talk a lot, do you need to say goodbye like this?"

"No-"

   "Okay, no need to explain, let's have a drink." Master Chi flicked his sleeves and turned away.

  An explanation is a cover-up, and he hates explanation the most!

   That little white-eyed wolf, didn't it just help her because of the rain, what a big deal? He rescued her from the traffickers, and he didn't see her being thankful!

   The four of them went back to the front to drink and not to mention for the time being, in the Loei House, people have already turned their backs.

Mrs He grabbed the handkerchief and was crying: "Old Madam, I said let me go out to pick up Zhaozhao, please let the master go! The master went out when the rain was the heaviest, but now the rain has stopped, and Zhaozhao has not been seen. Come on, the master didn't see it either, hum hum—"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Deng's temples throbbed, and she said slowly, "What's there to cry about, Zhaozhao went to Shuying Nunnery, not somewhere else, and the driver's maid followed, and the emperor's feet were still there. What can happen?"

   When He heard this, he cried even more: "Zhaozhao was abducted at the feet of the emperor—"

   Mrs. Deng was so angry that she couldn't hold back her anger, and rolled her eyes without grace: "Under such a heavy rain, the traffickers won't come out!"

   He blinked with tears in his eyes.

   I actually think that what my mother-in-law said is very reasonable!

   She stopped crying, grabbed the handkerchief and said, "But why haven't the master and Zhaozhao come back? Madam, could it be because of the heavy rain that Zhaozhao is stuck on the way?"

   "It doesn't matter, you can hide in the car to avoid the rain." Although Mrs. Deng was a little worried, she comforted her with a calm face in order to prevent her daughter-in-law from crying again.

Mrs He stood up, looked at the sky for a while, paced back and forth for a while, and said, "What if the carriage breaks down? It's not like you don't know, old lady, the carriage in our house is really broken. It's time to change, but you're not allowed to—"

Seeing that the old lady had a dark face and didn't speak, Mrs He continued: "This time when Zhaozhao comes back, he has to replace the broken carriage anyway, by the way, and the horse is too old to run, it's time Changed. Well, and the coachman—"

   Mr. He frowned more and more as he spoke, and finally said, "Let's just replace it with a new one, and my daughter-in-law will pay for it!"

   "He Shi, shut up!" Madam Deng was half-dead.

   Using the money of the daughter-in-law to exchange for carriages, horses, and coachmen, has it been rumored that the Li family is very glorious? Her son can only afford such a broken car, an old horse and an old coachman!

   "Where did my daughter-in-law say something wrong?" Mr. He looked puzzled.

   She gives money, she is willing to give, why not let the carriage ride!

   One thought her mother-in-law was old-fashioned and pedantic, and the other thought her daughter-in-law was full of upstarts. The two looked at each other, and for a moment, they were very quiet.

  The second wife Liu Shi hurriedly said, "The third girl has not come back, maybe she was left behind by the teacher."

   "This shouldn't be possible, right?" Madam Deng returned to her senses.

   It's not worth it to be angry with your daughter-in-law of Bangmai!

"Why not? Our three girls are smart and lovely. The master of Shuying An must be very fond of them. Maybe they will leave the three girls when it rains. The person who came to report at this time is likely to be there. on the way."

   Mrs. Deng and Mrs. He involuntarily nodded at the same time.

   This is a good statement, Zhaozhao is indeed smart and pleasant, and it is not unusual for the teacher to stay overnight.

   Mrs. He took a deep look at her sister, and said to herself: I never found her to have such a vision before, it can be seen that she has grown older.
