Xia Zhaoyi looked at Liang Jun and said it was strange, but actually it wasn't strange at all.
No matter in prosperous or troubled times, it is normal for good birds to choose trees to roost and recommend themselves.
But, how did he know Shen Lie, and how did he know that she and Shen Lie had a good relationship.
Shen Lie, the charioteer who stopped Li Zhi from leaving the capital in the past, was only known as the brave young man who helped her march forward. Very few people knew his real name.
Zhao Ning would not say it, nor would Song Qingtang. Many people who knew them were not talkative people.
Also, he is a young man from the capital with a good background.
Not to mention the students of Dongping Academy in Beijing, even their clothes and manner of speaking can be seen that they were raised by family background and wealth.
"Miss Ah Li," Liang Jun said sincerely, "I am not a bad person. I just want to follow Mr. Shen out of my innocence, and I also ask the girl to recommend you."
"Forgive me for not agreeing," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I don't know you, and I don't know who you are. I don't have the energy to investigate your family background, so I can't recommend you rashly."
"Miss Ah Li," Liang Jun raised his eyebrows, "I have been looking for Mr. Shen for nearly four years."
"If you haven't found him in four years, it shows that you are no good." Yi Qiu said bluntly from the side.
Xia Zhaoyi: "..."
She glanced at Yi Qiu and felt that she and Shen Lie had been shot in the knees.
Liang Jun became more and more embarrassed, and the entourage behind him couldn't help but want to stand up for his young master.
Fortunately, at this time, Xia Zhaoyi said: "Is it because of Shen Lie that you came to Hengxiang to find Zhao Ning?"
"Exactly!"
"Do you really...have been looking for him for four years?"
Liang Jun felt embarrassed and nodded bravely.
I've actually gone back several times in the past four years, but each time I didn't stay long before I came out to look for Shen Lie again.
He was originally the most arrogant among the group of friends. Because he failed to find Shen Lie, they always made fun of him, saying that he was young and frivolous and did not know the heights of heaven and earth.
Originally, I was looking for Shen Lie because I met him in the backyard of Dongping Academy and was amazed by his extraordinary appearance, courage, courage, calmness and restraint, aloofness and not colluding with the world. In addition, at that time, there was a great change in the capital, and the world was about to be in chaos. , Liang Jun really wanted to do something with his heart.
In the end, his search turned into a stubbornness and obsession, like a competition. He insisted on finding it, but he didn't believe that he couldn't find it.
In the past four years, every one of his friends in Beijing has changed.
The Taiping residence of Wei Chaosheng's family is still considered one of the best in the capital, but the entire capital is in depression, and their wealthy life has been greatly reduced, far from what it used to be.
The last time I went back and saw Wei Chaosheng, his father was busy fawning over the newly appointed officials in the capital. The new officials had set off hundreds of fires upon taking office, causing them unspeakable misery.
Zhuge Ying went to Hejing along with the entire Zhuge family in Beijing.
He had to go. The six Zhuge clan members that Emperor Xuan Yan took with him when he left the capital were the largest figures in the Zhuge family in Yi'an and affected the entire Zhuge family.
Although An Heyue was from the Menzhi'an family, his ancestors had been related to him for countless generations, so he was not affected too much. However, like Liang Jun, he also had people he wanted to follow.
He went to Tongdu and took refuge with a general named Fang Yinai who was beside Ying Jinliang.
However, he did not get along very well. Fang Yinai had too many retainers and staff around him, and there were many advisers. As the youngest member of the generation, An Heyue had no chance to speak.
Apart from them, Liang Jun's other friends, Ruan Ziji, Qiao Qing, Li Yiran, etc., are still in the capital.
Several others came to Hengxiang with Dongping Academy.
Liang Jun originally wanted to go to them to reminisce about old times after meeting Zhao Ning.
It is sad to say that they, a group of close classmates who studied hard together back then, have now been scattered by the troubled times, scattered in various places, and covered with dust.
Especially Zhuge Ying, after going to Hejing, he almost lost contact with them. He only looked for opportunities to send letters three times in four years, but it was even harder for them to write to him.
Every word in those letters is filled with tears.
Now, these old friends have their own aspirations and destiny. Liang Jun's wish is to follow Shen Lie.
"I can't help you, just go to Zhao Ning as you thought before," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Zhao Ning should have a way to contact Shen Lie. Write a letter recommending yourself and ask Zhao Ning to send it to you. , if Shen Lie is interested, he will contact you and let him make his own decision."
Liang Jun paused and looked at Yi Qiu beside Xia Zhaoyi.
Yiqiu was extremely clever. Seeing his expression, she stretched out her hand and pointed at herself: "You mean, you want me to talk to the eldest lady?"
"What Miss Ali just said, I also asked her to testify for me in front of Mrs. Zhao." Liang Jun said.
Yi Qiu sighed softly: "That's all, since Miss A Li has spoken, I will tell the eldest lady. I don't know if you are lucky or not. You haven't met Mr. Shen in four years, but you have met us in four years." I can’t even touch Miss Ah Li.”
If it were normal, Zhao Ning might not even meet Liang Jun, who has no status, but now he has to help him deliver messages.
Liang Jun was filled with joy and bowed deeply to Xia Zhaoyi: "Thank you so much, Miss Ali!"
Although I didn't recommend him, it actually did him a huge favor.
"There is no need to say thank you for what I haven't done," Xia Zhaoyi said. "Whether you can achieve what you want in your heart ultimately depends on the talent of your writing."
After saying that, she looked at Yiqiu: "I'll go back first and then send it here."
"Miss Ali, walk slowly." Yiqiu said reluctantly.
Xia Zhaoyi left Ning'an Building and walked east. Coincidentally, she raised her head and saw Guiyuan Inn in the distance.
Ning'an Building is on Tonglin West Street. She had noticed the inns along the street along the way. This inn was not very grand at the moment. It was an ordinary inn. The business was relatively deserted and there were no people around.
"... If you are interested, Hero, you can go to the Guiyuan Inn on Tonglin West Street to find us at dusk tomorrow. Hero, this is a rare opportunity, don't miss it."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at it calmly for a few times, just like casually looking at it when shopping, and then withdrew his gaze.
But when she looked back, she suddenly felt her scalp numb, and she frowned slightly, and looked forward with feeling.
That Mrs. Qu was standing by the spacious intersection, leading a large group of maids and servants, looking at her with a smile.
Along with her, there were two ladies, all dressed in jewels, silk and satin.
Xia Zhaoyi gradually stopped and looked at them from a distance.
Mrs. Qu waited and waited, but she saw the girl standing there, slim and graceful, not moving a step.
"Miss Xia," Mrs. Qu extended her hand to greet her and said with a smile, "Come here!"
