Chapter 228
Returning to my yard from the garden, the sky is half dark and the lights are just coming on.
The servants placed them back and forth in front of the dining table, and Shao Liuer sat at the table, eating at a leisurely pace, not in a hurry to read the contents on the leaves for the time being, not daring to show any clues.
His eyebrows were slightly worried, and his mind was indeed disturbed. It wasn't because he couldn't see his lover, but because too many things had happened in the family recently. The second mother and two elder brothers were poisoned and murdered in the governor's mansion, and the elder brother was imprisoned in the dungeon.
After the incident, her mentally depressed father came to see her, and the servants dared not tell her, but Shao Dengyun told her himself.
Although Shao Dengyun didn't say the specific reason, but she knew that her eldest brother had always been at odds with Ruan's mother and son, and that her eldest brother was arrested at this time, she had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't dare to think deeply about it, and she was afraid even thinking about it.
On the other side of the dungeon, she wanted to see her elder brother, but she was not allowed to go in. Shao Sanxing, the housekeeper of the elder brother's mansion, said that his elder brother didn't want to see her, and only said that it was fine, and let her take care of herself and not worry about her elder brother.
After the meal, someone lit the lamp in the study room, sat alone in the study room, took out the leaves in the interlayer of the book pages, and studied.
This time of day was originally a beautiful time, but after reading the content on the leaf this time, Shao Liuer couldn't sit still, stood up suddenly, and wandered anxiously in the study.
Tan Yaoxian said that he was leaving, leaving Beizhou, and wanted to see her for the last time, what should he do? How could this make her willing!
She wanted to desperately run out of the house to meet each other, but the family watched her so hard that they would not let her go out at all. The seven or eight servants who served her were all staring at her, and they were all sent by her elder brother. There was no way for her to escape.
Are you trying to get out? Can't get out, the guards at home are not decorations!
What's more, at this time at home, she shouldn't make a scene.
Do you want to ask your brother? The elder brother didn't see him in the prison, he wondered if he was afraid that she would ask Er Niang about their death.
Thinking of the cause of Erniang's death, Shao Liuer, who was hovering in front of the window sill, froze for a moment, as if thinking of something...
In the early morning of the next day, the sun was shining on the courtyard, and Tan Yaoxian, who had been reading outside in the morning, came back.
As soon as the courtyard door was closed, he hurried in. Lu Shengzhong had already been waiting for him in the hall, and immediately asked, "How is it?"
Tan Yaoxian nodded, sat at the table and took out the leaf in the interlayer of the book, and said happily: "There is a reply."
Lu Shengzhong: "Okay! Let's see what to say."
Tan Yaoxian held up Ye Zi and carefully translated the above content, omitting those words of missing love that were not revealed to Lu Shengzhong, "Liu'er asked why she was leaving, and she said she couldn't come out, and the maids around her were all sent by her elder brother to watch her, uh..." The following content concluded.
Lu Shengzhong was surprised: "That's all? Is it over?"
Tan Yaoxian shook his head, chirping.
Lu Shengzhong became anxious, "Brother Tan, do you think I can't be trusted?"
Hearing what he said, Tan Yaoxian waved his hands, and said awkwardly: "Liu'er said that as long as she can deal with the servants around her, she will have a way to steal out of the governor's mansion, let me... let me find a way to get some sweat medicine for her."
"..." Lu Shengzhong was speechless, and immediately burst out laughing. He realized that Miss Shao was really a wonderful person, and she wanted to drug the people around her. It seemed that her strategy had worked. The threat of leaving Beizhou to see her for the last time really made the young lady anxious, and she even thought of this method.
If this Miss Shao really had a way to escape by herself, it would save me a lot of trouble. He didn't expect Shao Liu'er to be so cooperative, and even helped her figure out a way. It seems that he was mistakenly hitting the right one when he came to Tan Yaoxian's direction.
Patting Tan Yaoxian on the shoulder, he sighed: "Brother Tan is so lucky, I can see that Miss Shao really likes you."
Tan Yaoxian was both moved and terrified, "Mongolian medicine, where can I get this thing?"
Lu Shengzhong patted his chest, "Brother Tan is a modest gentleman, how can he do such a lowly thing, this villain just let me do it."
Tan Yaoxian was nervous: "This...is this appropriate?"
Lu Shengzhong asked: "Could it be that Brother Tan doesn't want to see Miss Shao? Miss Shao has a deep affection for you and is willing to do this for you. How long do you want to miss her? If you refuse, how can you make her feel bad? Hehe, you are a modest gentleman, could it be that Miss Shao is a villain?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Tan Yaoxian hurriedly waved his hands. How could an ignorant scholar like him be Lu Shengzhong's opponent? He was forced into a corner by a few words, and he put his heart on hold, and asked bravely, "Even if Brother Li can get it, how can he send it in?"
Lu Shengzhong said with a sly smile: "Since there is a contact channel, you can send it in by yourself, and this matter is also on me."
Tan Yaoxian was moved again, "Brother Li treats me like this, Tan really can't repay me!"
Lu Shengzhong looked solemn, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, why should we report it? Brother Tan is a man I appreciate, and I am also willing to be beautiful as an adult, but Brother Tan must not forget me as a great matchmaker in the future. You and Ms. Shao must have a glass of wedding wine."
Tan Yaoxian was ashamed, and he was a bit dreamy when he was said, looking forward to spending this life with Shao Liuer.
"Okay Brother Tan, I still need to ask Ms. Shao about some things, so I can't be careless..." Lu Shengzhong continued to instigate there.
He knew very well that Shao Liu'er only had one chance to escape from the Governor's Mansion no matter whether the matter would be successful or not. Once she failed, there would be no second chance. He was a little worried about whether Shao Liuer could succeed, so he decided to ask about the situation and help Shao Liuer make a careful plan.
After explaining what Tan Yaoxian should ask, Lu Shengzhong left the Tan family to help Shao Liuer prepare the things he needed.
Inside and outside the governor's mansion, the inside and the outside cooperated. After two consecutive days of communication and clarification of the situation, Lu Shengzhong got some small needles rolled in silver foil, which contained the things Shao Liuer wanted to use, and inserted them into the leaf stalks prepared by Tan Yaoxian.
This time I prepared a lot of leaves, otherwise the dose of medicine would not be enough, and Shao Liuer would have to get a lot of leaves this time...
In the study, under candlelight, Shao Liuer spread out the silver foils one by one and poured out the powder inside.
After fishing for three days of leaves, the accumulation of leaves made more, and finally a small packet of powder was gathered.
After leaving the study room, he recruited another servant girl, explaining that he was planning to let people go out to buy something tomorrow.
The maid asked what she wanted to buy, Shao Liu'er said she hadn't thought it through yet, and asked the maid to go to the steward first to ask for a sign, and she could go out and buy it at any time when she made up her mind tomorrow.
The governor's mansion has its own rules, servants are not allowed to come in and out at will, and they have to report and get permission when they go out...
In the morning of the next day, Shao Liu'er asked someone to make a pot of soup, but later she thought it was too much, so she called all the servants around her to eat together on the pretext that her brother would not let things be wasted.
Not long after, the servants collapsed in the hall.
This is really hard to guard against house thieves by day and night!
Shao Liu'er quickly disguised herself as a servant, dressed like a man, her face was made up a little dark, which concealed her tenderness and delicacy, and she left her yard directly, came to the side door of the governor's mansion, and showed the manager's permission sign.
The servants are generally not allowed to enter and exit through the main entrance, most of them can only enter and exit through the side entrance, and there are also people checking at the entrance.
Although Shao Liuer's appearance seemed a little strange, there were so many servants in the Governor's Mansion that the general guards couldn't recognize them all. Besides, it was not a big deal for the servants to go out. In addition, the other party had a sign in his hand. The guard checked the sign and it was fine, so he let Shao Liuer out.
After the tense Shao Liu'er walked out a few streets, Fang was relieved, and she was also nervous, but luckily there was no danger.
It's also thanks to her being very familiar with the situation in the Governor's Mansion and able to deal with it freely.
When she came to the appointed lane, a carriage was waiting for her. After checking, Shao Liuer got into the carriage.
The carriage left immediately and left the city immediately.
At the gate of a small tree-lined farmyard outside the city, the carriage stopped.
Shao Liuer jumped out of the carriage, pushed open the firewood door of the small farmyard with excitement, and saw a man dressed as a farmer standing in the small courtyard, and she recognized Tan Yaoxian at a glance.
Tan Yaoxian, who heard the movement of the carriage, was already staring at the door, and when he saw the person who opened the door and came out dressed as a servant, he also recognized Shao Liuer at a glance, and couldn't help being excited instantly.
Shao Liuer had already galloped over, and her longing for a long time turned into her embrace at this moment.
Tan Yaoxian also excitedly opened his arms and hugged her.
The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to blend into one.
At the same time, the heartbeat accelerated, and they hugged each other silently.
I have only held hands before, and I only dare to think about the situation of hugging each other. I am afraid of moral constraints, but I dare not cross that line.
It was the first time that she hugged a man like this, and smelling the man's breath, Shao Liu'er was a little confused.
Holding the delicate body in his arms, smelling the feminine breath of Shao Liu'er, Tan Yaoxian was also fascinated.
In the end, Shao Liu'er raised her head and asked him, "Why did you leave?"
That's why she came out desperately this time.
This is not a place to talk, Tan Yaoxian took her hand and entered the room and closed the door.
"Why did you leave?" After entering the room, Shao Liuer asked again.
Tan Yaoxian hesitated again and again, shook his head in pain and said, "Liu'er, I don't want to leave you either, but I really can't gain a foothold in the capital city of Beizhou. The Shutang dismissed me, and no one in the city dared to hire me. You know my family background..."
Shao Liuer's eyes widened and she asked, "Is it because of my family?"
Tan Yaoxian bowed his head and remained silent.
According to Lu Shengzhong's instructions, these words should not have been said at this time.
According to Lu Shengzhong's intention, if the rice is cooked and the rice is cooked, and if you talk about this difficult situation, you will be more confident in taking Shao Liu'er away.
For Lu Shengzhong, if Shao Liuer did not cooperate, it would be very difficult to bring a living person out of Beizhou. Once the Shao family finds out that Shao Liuer is missing, they must search everywhere. Will he take Shao Liuer away or carry him away? It is too conspicuous to tie a living person away from Beizhou, which makes it more difficult to escape. Beizhou is the territory of the Shao family.
However, he was also prepared to retreat, in case Shao Liu'er did not cooperate, he could hide Shao Liu'er in a secret place and wait for Niu Youdao to send someone to meet him.
However, when the matter came to an end, Tan Yaoxian, who had clearly ordered it properly, couldn't do that kind of nasty thing.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Shao Liu'er's eyes were red, she raised her hands to cup his face, and said with tears in her eyes, "Tan Lang, I'm sorry, I hurt you."
