It's late at night.
The light in the courtyard has been put out, only a bright lantern is on at the door. If the firefly perches on the leaves, it will fly away in the next moment.
Ying Xiang came forward with a lantern and said, "four young masters."
Chu Zhao looked up at her, "it's not that you don't have to wait for me."
"I can't sleep," Ying Xiang said softly, "playing lanterns to see, just hit."
Chu Zhao did not speak, and entered the room, "you go out."
Ying Xiang bowed down and left the room and took the door.
Chu Zhao sits at the table, pressing his forehead. Just now in Xu's family, Xu Jingfu's words came to my ears again.
"Zi Lan, I'm such a daughter. You can't bully Ping ting in the future. If Ping Ting comes home and complains with me, even if it's your teacher, I can't spare you."
Xu pingting turned her lips. "How could brother Zilan bully me? However, brother Zilan looks so good-looking. There are many women who like him in shuojing city. When I become the wife of brother Zilan, if there is a fox spirit who doesn't have long eyes and pours on him, "she raised her eyebrows and raised her voice," I have to peel their skin! "
"It's like a girl's house, fighting and killing all day long." Xu Jingfu said so, but did not mean to stop Xu pingting.
The seemingly warm pictures of the father and daughter filled his mind, which made him bend down, and his stomach was filled with nausea and vomiting.
Before going to Xu's house today, Chu Zhao asked Ying Xiang to stay in the house. In fact, after returning to shuojing, he always asked Yingxiang to stay in the Chu mansion. If there was no other situation, he should not go out. Now Xu pingting and his marriage are almost over the Ming Road, Yingxiang will be more dangerous.
When he was young, he paid homage to Xu Jingfu as a teacher. Thanks to Xu Jingfu, Mrs. Chu no longer dared to attack him as openly as before. Xu Jingfu treats him well. For a child, he gives Chu Zhao a face. Because he was Xu Jingfu's student, he got a lot of convenience in his communication with others. As Xu Jingfu's daughter, Xu pingting was about the same age as Xu Jingfu. At first, Chu Zhao didn't hate her so much.
When she was a teenager, Xu pingting was already the apple of the Xu family's eye. She wanted wind and rain. In addition to her arrogance, she was very good to Chu Zhao. She always follows Chu Zhao with her tail like a "brother Zilan". Sometimes she would tell Chu Zhao, "Ping Ting will marry brother Zilan, who is pingting's own."
He was only joking until Chu Zhao was 14 years old.
Chu Linfeng is Xiao Zhongwu's famous beautiful man. Even if he doesn't become Shi Jinbo, he can cheat many girls with a good bag. Chu Zhao's mother, ye Runmei, was also born with a delicate face and beautiful appearance. Chu Zhao followed the two brothers of the Xiao family. When he was 14 years old, he was as famous as the two brothers of the Xiao family. And his character is more gentle and considerate, and very good at taking care of people, there are a lot of girls in the dark.
One of them was a young lady named Qian. She was shrewd and warm-hearted, and a pair of Phoenixes were particularly charming. She was different from other shy girls in Shuo capital city. After meeting Chu Zhao for several times, she showed her intention directly. Of course, Chu Zhao refused, but the girl didn't give up. She didn't pester her. She just sent things to Chu's house every two or three days. Occasionally met in the capital city, friends coax, Miss Qian did not refute, directly staring at her, often let him helpless.
Later, Miss Qian had an accident. It is said that he was killed by a thief when he was on a outing with a friend. He died miserably. A pair of eyes were dug out and shocked the whole capital. Miss Qian's father is just a small official from seven grades. After reporting to the official, he has not found the whereabouts of the murderer. Chu Zhao stayed for a long time when he heard the news. It was hard to believe that the girl who always winked at him died quietly.
Later, half a year later, he went to Xu's house to find Xu Jingfu. As he passed by the small hall, he heard Xu pingting talking to her maid.
"I'm just a pariah, and I want to fight with you! I dug her eyes to see how she seduced brother Zilan in the future? In the future, if there are women who don't have long eyes to pester brother Zilan, I won't be as merciful as before! "
The girl's laughter was tender and innocent, but it was full of venom soaked in bone marrow, so she completely destroyed another girl of her age.
Chu Zhao's heart was cool from the beginning to the end.
And now, he is bound with this woman, live together, love each other, how ironic.
One night, when he was still in liangzhouwei, Lin Shuanghe, the grandson of Lin Qingtan, had said a word to him.
"Fourth childe of Chu, if you are good for sister he, stay away from her as soon as possible. You have a tigress in your family, but we don't want to be the second Miss Qian. "
In his eyes, there was a flat stone lying beside the pen holder. The stone was in the shape of a horse. It seemed that he could see through the stone. The girl wiped the sweat on her forehead, chopped it down with a knife and handed it to him.
Whose voice is refreshing and flying, clean as the spring stream."Zhao means bright. Zi Lan means vanilla. The person who takes this name must love you very much. I hope you will be noble and clean and bright in the future, so that you can choose such elegant words. "
He has been in the dark for many years.
But when the first ray of light appears, knowing that it doesn't belong to you, you will want to hold it greedily in your palm.
……
He Yan got up late the next morning.
After having eaten early, he Yan went out of the door without hesitation. It has been several days since her last visit to the Xu family. I want to come to the boy named Fuwang. I'm afraid he has been looking forward to her these days.
The rest of your Majesty's silver reward was carried in her sleeve. Money is indispensable in dealing with people. Although he is a small official now, he is not rich in money. A few more times, she has no spare. He Yan thinks that he can borrow some from Lin Shuanghe, and then go to Letong village to double it? However, I won silver in Letong village last time and offended the banker. I'm afraid I will be rejected if I go again this time.
Thinking about the serious question of where the money came from, Heyan has already arrived at the teahouse where he met with Fuwang. She first gave the waiter at the door of the teahouse some silver coins with a smile, and casually asked, "can anyone come to me these days?"
The boy quickly took back the broken silver and said with a smile: "yes, there are! The younger brother who came with the young master last time has come three times a day these days. You can sit here and guess that he will come again soon. "
He Yan said with a smile, "I'll bother you to serve tea."
After that, he went to the elegant room where he met last time and sat down.
After drying Fuwang for such a long time, he Yan had already guessed that fuwangduo would not be able to restrain himself, but he did not expect that he would be so depressed. However, it was a good thing for her, and Xu Zhiheng's method of buying people's hearts was too poor. Or, he is only concerned about buying off the top people, but looking at the people below also want to get in.
Sure enough, he Yan just sat for less than a quarter of an hour when someone came to knock on the door outside the elegant room. He Yan said, "please come in." The door was pushed open, Fuwang closed it and strode in.
"Childe See he Yan, this person is very excited, "small still think you are not in shuojing, these days is really anxious to death."
He Yan reached out to him: "sit down."
Waiting for Fuwang to sit down, she said, "these days there are important things in the body, today I got free to come here." She poured a cup of tea for Fuwang, and her tone was very gentle, "little brother is so anxious to find me, but has news?"
"News Of course there are. " Fuwang showed a puzzled look.
Heyan understood God and put a ingot of silver in front of him.
"Thank you, young master." Fuwang beamed and put the silver in his arms. Then he said, "I've been paying attention to what you want to know. But when Aunt he had an accident, all the servants in aunt he's yard were gone. In the end, none of them could stay. The little one also pieced together some news from other servants in the yard. " He lowered his voice and looked around nervously. "In fact, those servants are dead!"
As soon as he said this, he deliberately wanted to see the expression of Heyan. Unfortunately, the face sitting opposite was caged under the curtain cap, which was really hard to see. But he can still drink tea calmly. It seems that Not surprisingly.
"Do you know what it would be like if all the servants in the yard were executed?"
He Yan tiny smile, "kill a person to kill mouth?"
Originally, I wanted to sell a pass, but I didn't expect to be seen through at a glance. Fuwang was a little discouraged for a moment, but he didn't have the same mind as just now. He answered honestly, "it's true. I heard that Aunt he had committed an unforgivable crime, so the so-called "family law" was actually to ask her to die. Those servants in her yard know the truth, so they have no way to live. "
When Fuwang heard these things from other people's mouths, he felt cold on his back now. Even if the people in the courtyard sold their deeds in the hands of the master, dozens of lives could be killed. Even if they got the Shuo capital, it was a big event. Moreover, Xu's scholarly family can even wipe out dozens of people's mouths without changing their faces, which is frightening. It also makes people wonder, what kind of crime did aunt he commit?
Adultery? That would not kill all the servants in a yard. There are bodyguards in the yard. It is impossible for Aunt he to have an affair with others. Are those guards still watching? What is the great sin that can let all the people in the yard know, and that only the dead can keep the secret?
"Is that all?" He Yan asked.
"That's all," Fuwang said
He Yan laughed: "little brother, these things you said seem to be secret, but in fact, they are not helpful to my affairs. If that's all you can find, there's no need to go on with this deal. " She stood up. "I've been bothering you these days. It's hard."
After saying that, he did not want to leave. Fuwang was so nervous that he blurted out: "Sir, stay!"
As soon as the words were spoken, he regretted that he did business. Sometimes he did not only do business, but also decided who was more calm. He was afraid that he would lose the money tree, but he also exposed himself.He Yan side head to see to him: "younger brother, what did not finish the news?"
Knowing that he had been seen through by the man opposite, Fuwang said stiffly, "young master, sit down and talk again."
He Yan sat down again with a smile.
"In fact, I heard that one of the servants who were executed at that time might not have died."
He Yan said with a smile, "go on."
"The man was aunt he's nurse, mother Qin. Before aunt he's accident, her nurse said she would go home to see her grandson, but she didn't go back to the house after a while. Aunt he sent someone to see her, but her family said she didn't go back. After that, the family had looked for her, but there was no news. " Fuwang said: "small think, mother Qin may still be alive."
He Yan looks at him and doesn't speak.
Fuwang is a little uneasy, "childe?"
"Since you said that no one can find mother Qin now," He Yan was not worried, and said slowly: "that little brother may not be able to find it. What is the value of a man who has no trace, even if he lives in the world and has no news? "
Fuwang was frightened, but the man in the opposite side could not read his mind. He did find out a little trace of mother Qin, which he had spent a lot of money to get through. But now, he wants to make a deal with each other, and the person on the opposite side can leave at any time. If he can't show his sincerity, he will not meet him in the future.
Thinking of this, Fu Wang's heart was horizontal. "I heard that mother Qin had been widowed for a long time. When she was a nurse for Aunt he, she had a good friend. This matter nobody else knows, only a girl in the mansion who is boiling water knows. The one who is good now lives outside the city. I want to have a try. Maybe mother Qin is still there. "
It's almost the same. He Yan's heart is slightly fixed, and his tone of voice is more praise. "My eyes are really right. I'm really amazing. You've got information that others can't find." She said, "well, I'll wait for the good news here. If you find out the whereabouts of mother Qin, you must not frighten the snake and tell me secretly." She said: "after this, I can help you to get rid of slavery. When you leave shuojing with a large amount of silver, you will have no worries in the future."
This words said Fuwang heart.
"I still have something important to do, so I don't want to stay with me more," He Yan got up. "I'll stay here, drink tea and have a snack before going back."
"Young master, wait!"
Fu Wang's voice came from behind. As soon as he turned around, he felt that someone was already in front of him and tried to lift up her curtain hat. However, the next moment, that hand was easily clamped by Heyan.
Fuwang: "pain, pain..."
He Yan released his hand and went on without looking back. He only said, "I want to see my face. I'm not in a hurry for a moment. When the dust settles down, I will take off the curtain cap."
The door was closed, and the elegant room was empty, as if the spy was just a dream. Only the two tea cups on the table indicated that someone had come.
Fuwang sits at the table and drinks a cup of tea to suppress his fear. What is the identity of this mysterious man who knows everything about the Xu family?
……
Left the tea room, he Yan's mood relaxed a lot, under the curtain cap, smile gradually rippling open.
I didn't expect Fuwang to be so smooth. The people who saw the truth in the yard at the beginning really survived. Since mother Qin could have predicted that Xu Zhiheng would kill people, she must be a wise man. If a wise man runs for his life, he may have some cards in his body. Xu Zhiheng had calculated thousands of times, but she didn't calculate that mother Qin would run. After all, her children and grandchildren are in the capital. If she runs away, the Xu family will not let her family go.
But Xu Zhiheng also omitted to calculate that when people are facing death, no one will not be afraid. The desire to survive is greater than everything else. There will be people who sacrifice themselves to protect the whole family, and there are selfish ghosts who run for their lives in the face of disaster. Moreover, mother Qin's running made her family safer. If Xu Zhiheng moved the lives of her children and grandchildren, she would tell the world the truth for revenge. In this way, Xu Zhiheng would throw a mouse into a trap.
She must be faster than Xu Zhiheng and he Rufei to find mother Qin first.
He Yan was happy that things went well today, and he returned to his house earlier. Just had not gone to the yard, I heard a familiar voice, "sister, where is the elder brother surnamed he, do you really don't know?"
Baiguo stood up and reached his waist. He raised his face and said, "the second young master doesn't let the maids ask about Mr. He."
Lin Shuanghe a fan, "your second young master is very considerate."
He Yan called him "brother Lin" from afar. Lin Shuanghe looked back and saw her. His eyes lit up and came quickly. "I just came here and said why you were not here. You came back just in time. Brother he, I came to look for you
Since returning to shuojing, he Yan has not seen him. Lin Shuanghe is much more swaggering than when he was in Liangzhou Wei. Most of them were still kept in the barracks before, but now they are back in shuojing. Even the crane's eyes on his clothes are decorated with small gems. There are many fragrant balls and jade belts. There are two words written all over the body: money."Brother Lin, but the house has been settled?" He Yan was also thinking about what he had entrusted to this man. Did not want to say this, Lin Shuanghe choked for a while, obviously put this matter in the back of his mind.
He laughed a few times, "house It's not easy to find recently. I want to find a suitable one for brother he. Naturally, I can't be careless. Well, I'm here for something else. Let's go inside and say it. "
He Yan was speechless.
He led Lin Shuanghe into the house. When the door was closed, Lin Shuanghe turned around the room and exclaimed, "good, isn't this house next door to Huaijin? I look better than liangzhouwei. Sister he, how are you living here? If there is anything inconvenient, just tell Huaijin, don't aggrieve yourself. "
What he said seemed to be that it was not the Xiao family, but the Lin family. He Yan poured a cup of hot water for him, "brother Lin, you come to see me. It's not to see how I live."
"Oh," Lin Shuanghe patted his head, "almost forgot the business." He took out a post from his sleeve and handed it to Heyan, "the post of Palace Banquet, here you are. Huaijin went out of the city. I'm afraid I can't come back that day. Before I leave, I'll let someone tell me that I remember to take care of you. After three days, I will come to meet you at the gate of Xiao's house, and then you will follow me into the palace. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to enter the palace for the first time if no one takes it. "
He Yan a Leng, "the governor out of the city?"
"Yes, he left the city in a hurry and asked his people to bring me a message. Originally, he planned to take you to the Palace Banquet, but if he can't come back this time, I'll do it for you. "
He Yan remembered that Xiao Jue had said to him that he would leave the city in recent days, but he didn't expect to be in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to make a call.
But He really kept his promise and said that he would take himself to the Palace Banquet, so he did.
"What do you think, sister he?" Lin Shuanghe shook his hand in front of her. "I have brought some clothes today. You have to dress up to go to the palace. You don't know those people in the palace watch the dishes. You may have to walk around the palace for the first time, leaving a deep impression. I asked my servants to buy them. They were all made of good materials. They were gorgeous. If you choose one to wear, it's not humiliating to Huaijin's face. "
He Yan said Thank you very much
"Besides, sister he, I guess that Huaijin may reward you more if she takes you into the Palace this time. After all, you have done a lot of good deeds with you. Don't be too surprised if you get into an official post or something. I'll talk about it first, but I don't know. "
He also talked about a pile of Palace Banquet need to pay attention to the place, the boy came to urge him to go to the next party, then got up to leave. After Lin Shuanghe leaves, Heyan sits down in front of the mirror.
He Yan looked at himself in the mirror. She had already recovered her daughter's body before she entered the palace. Therefore, he Rufei was the one who entered the palace. He Rufei was the one who saw his majesty, and he Rufei was the one who got the title of "Feihong".
Now, she finally wants to re-enter the palace as he Yan. Xu Zhiheng and he Rufei will be present at this Palace Banquet. Maybe she will even see heyuanliang and heyuansheng. Those who had been entangled with her previous life have finally reappeared before him in such a way.
The girl in the mirror has changed her face. Her facial features are similar to those in the past. Only that pair of eyes, burning flames, as if to burn all the evil, bright as ever.
He Yan lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, she slowly cocked her mouth and laughed.
Three days later, he Rufei and Xu Zhiheng, as well as his family members, will recognize the name "Heyan" again. When I meet my dead friend again, I don't know if there is a ghost in my heart. When I hear the name again, I will feel guilty and can't sleep at night.
Perhaps, Xiao Jue is not on the contrary, but a good thing.
She can be more reckless.
