Chapter 85 Zhongnan Road
Zhou Heng did not apply the yellow powder that had a disguise effect on his face at this moment. He looked very fair and bright. And although he was dressed like an ordinary girl, he was wearing a light pink spring shirt, paired with her
Her bright appearance and lively appearance still made everyone passing by take a second look, especially a few young people, who showed a look of surprise. For this reason, Aunt Peng also hurriedly walked away.
He came over and urged her to get in the car:
"It's very dusty outside, don't blow it!"
Before coming, Aunt Peng had already learned the whole story from Uncle He, and expressed her admiration for this brave young lady from the Zhou family. The two of them were not familiar with each other now, but she saw that she took the initiative to address her naturally.
"Aunt" was even more fond of her, and her face, which had always been stern and unsmiling, softened in a rare way.
Zhou Heng is actually a familiar person. As an office worker in the 21st century, who cares whether he is alive or not? Now he is excited about going to Zhongnan Road for a spring outing. When Aunt Peng said this, he smiled and said
He waved his hand and said, "It's so tiring to ride in a carriage, so let's do some exercise." He was much more tired than taking a long-distance bus before.
In this way, a few people drank crude tea at a roadside stall and rested. Anyway, there were already people from Prince Jing's Palace in front of the group accompanying them all the way, and there was also Miss Zhou, a noble girl, in the team, not counting Zhongnan Road.
It was far away, three to five days was enough, and Uncle He felt there was no need to rush.
After that, the group of people took the official road and officially set off for Zhongnan Road. Zhou Heng was quite excited at first, but Aunt Peng kept asking:
"Aunt, have you been to Zhongnan Road before?"
"It doesn't matter, let's call her aunt. You can afford it at your age, and you keep calling me that way without being afraid of revealing your secrets."
"I've never been to Zhongnan Road, so where were you before? Northwest Road? Taiyuan? I've... never been to Taiyuan." He almost blurted out that I've been to Taiyuan. For this, Zhou Heng even flashed his tongue and quickly opened the curtain to borrow.
He was covering up by looking at the scenery on the roadside outside the window.
Looking at it, Aunt Peng only thought that Miss Zhou was very interesting. She had been working as a rough lady in Tangquan Town for many years. Before that, she had mostly lived in the market and had not had much contact with Miss Qianjin's life.
, seeing that she was so lively, easy-going, and good-looking, I naturally felt more friendly, so she followed Zhou Heng's questions with great interest and talked about the good times she had on the Northwest Road.
This said, the time spent on the road was easily passed. When we got off the carriage at noon to have dinner, he learned that the two girls had been listening to the senior sister "telling stories". Uncle He was very surprised. You know, when they first met that day, they also
It was okay, because the two suddenly reunited, and the senior sister was very excited, so she took the initiative to say something.
But maybe she calmed down after that. The senior sister no longer talked to me about everything like she did in the past. She only said a few words when asked by me. In the end, she even became cold and had no expression on her face. Come to think of it,
It was not easy these years, which made her change a lot.
For this reason, Uncle He was not very confident when he persuaded her to go to Zhongnan Road with him. He was afraid that his senior sister would reject him on the pretext of being accustomed to living here. When she finally agreed after two days of thinking about it, Uncle He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
, I just feel that I have no other expectations in my heart.
Unexpectedly, having only been riding in the carriage with Miss Zhou for so long, the senior sister would already have a long-lost smile on her face.
So once again, Uncle He was glad that he had made up his mind to convince Shen Fu and let Zhou Heng follow him to Zhongnan Road.
You know, at that time, he had just proposed that Miss Zhou should follow him to Zhongnan Road so that he could easily identify the thieves who might appear there, but Shen Fu refused with a firm frown and a very unpleasant tone. OK, means there is no room for negotiation:
"Uncle He, this matter is not feasible. If nothing else, how should I explain it to the Zhou family? I promised my uncle that they would protect A Heng, and even when they came to Tangquan Town, they sent her to Zhuangzi to recuperate. When the Zhou family sends someone to visit, how do you want me to respond?"
Fortunately, I was prepared at that time. First, I mentioned the meaning of Brother Wang and his son in the front shop, and tactfully hinted at some unpredictable risks of a girl living outside. Seeing that Shen Fu hesitated after hearing this, he then Strike while the iron is hot and quickly explain that Miss Zhou has been consulted on this matter and she has agreed. For this reason, Shen Fu, who looked annoyed, rarely showed his emotions in front of him, and just waved his sleeves and left angrily with a face on his face. I found Miss Zhou.
The result was as he expected: less than half an hour later, Prince Jing came out with a complicated expression on his face, followed by a man with a smile on his face who comforted him and expressed that he was looking forward to going to Zhongnan Road. Miss Cousin.
At that time, I saw it in my eyes, and I immediately felt that my previous decision not to let Miss Zhou stay in Tangquan Town was correct. Originally, Shen Fu, the dignified Prince Jing, always had others listen to him, but now it seems that this Miss Zhou can actually do this She quickly convinced him, knowing that she was already an extraordinary person in his mind, so she couldn't be allowed to stay in Tangquan Town and be tainted with some unnecessary right and wrong.
Although it is too early for the two of them to get married, and some things do need to be allowed to take their course, it is better to avoid foreseeable troubles as early as possible.
Of course, taking Miss Zhou to Zhongnan Road is not without risk. After all, according to the news from the front, the group of people met up with another group of people along the way, and their words sounded a bit unusual. Uncle He I vaguely feel that the truth behind this matter may be more complicated than I imagined.
Fortunately, now I can see that the senior sister and Miss Zhou are getting along well. Although the senior sister is a bit stubborn, she always shows her heart to anyone who catches her eye. Uncle He secretly comforts himself that Chunyu and the senior sister are protecting him. In the future, Miss Zhou's family should be able to follow him back to Beijing in the same way as when she came here, which can be regarded as an explanation to Shen Fu.
…The official road is busy, and Zhongnan Road is not too far from the capital. Along the way, I listened to Aunt Peng’s stories, stopped and walked, ate and drank. Five days later, at noon, the carriage finally arrived at the main city of Zhongnan Road. Zhou Not only did Heng not feel tired, but when he arrived at the inn, he still asked at the dinner table with an expectant look on his face: "Aunt, do you want to take a nap?"
This question made Aunt Peng a little embarrassed, but fortunately Zhou Heng reacted as soon as she saw it: "I'm quite tired from wandering around on the carriage these days, so I'd better take a rest!"
Although everyone takes a nap on the carriage from time to time, Aunt Peng is getting older, so she may need to take a rest before she can continue telling those exotic scenery and interesting stories.
As for himself, Zhou Heng glanced at Chun Yu next to him and winked at her. Now that they had been together for so many days, they already had a tacit understanding. The latter understood and said, "Cousin, I'm fine." He wanted to go out for a walk.
These words naturally hit Zhou Heng's fancy: "I'm fine too, so what, Dad, why don't you guys take a nap and A-Yu and I go out for a walk?"
Okay, since I can bring Prince Jing to justice, I can naturally win over the maids in the mansion. Uncle He doesn't want to be too strict with this cousin in this matter. Besides, he also wants to use this time to talk to him.
The senior sister had a good chat, and thinking that nothing would happen if she was strolling on the street in broad daylight, she agreed after some warnings.
So the two girls went out happily holding hands after the meal.
In the evening, the two happily returned to the inn with a bunch of food bought on the snack street. They saw Uncle He and Aunt Peng both looking solemn. Zhou Heng did not expect such a scene.
He placed the food on the table for the two of them to eat, and asked in a low voice:
"What happened? Did they discover it?"
"That's not true." Uncle He was afraid that she would worry, so he gave a negative answer first, and then explained to her in a low voice:
"When that group of people arrived at Zhongnan Road, someone had already taken care of them and took them to live in a courtyard in the north of the city. Our people watched for several days and didn't see anyone coming in or out. However, yesterday morning, we found that there was someone we knew.
People came to this courtyard."
"What a talented man is he?" Zhou Heng blurted out. When Uncle He smiled slightly, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and didn't think it was a big deal: "Anyway, we only know a few people, and we have heard about that talented man before.
The talented man set out to come here first, so he will naturally arrive first."
Uncle He nodded and continued: "The man named He came out not long after he stayed inside. Our people followed him all the way, only to find that this man actually entered the Governor's Mansion!"
"Governor's Mansion?" Chunyu suddenly felt that it was a bit tricky. If this matter was related to the largest official in South Central Road, it would be troublesome.
"Governor's Mansion!" Zhou Hengze, who didn't know why, was very excited. Sure enough, it turned out that Shen Fu was attracted by the governor's daughter, but it was reasonable. The local bully was used to it and thought that the capital was just like his own home.
, do whatever you want, and then you have the courage to commit murder in broad daylight.
Uncle He, who had a solemn look on his face, never expected Zhou Heng to have such an expression. He didn't know what she was thinking for a moment. He paused and then asked with some confusion: "Behind the Governor's Mansion, A Heng, do you know?
Who is it?"
