Chapter 302

When they came to the wine cellar, a cold wind blew, Xi Niang and others shivered unconsciously, and even the guards felt a little cold, "Damn it, it wasn't that cold just now." After speaking, they looked up at the sky, dark clouds The densely gathered together, covering the originally clear starry sky, "It's really strange." The guard muttered,

Xi Niang behind her also felt that it was very strange tonight, first the new couple, and then the weather, but the most strange thing was that this was to worship the Eighth Prince, the god of the house. As for the strange worship of the Eighth Prince, what aristocratic family does not have any strange rules, don't be curious, don't ask more, don't remember, only in this way can you be safe, otherwise you will get into trouble and lose your body. is his own life.

Opening the door of the wine cellar, a group of people went in to get wine. The ground was wet, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine mixed with various types of famous wines.

"The Eighth Prince asked for his daughter Hong by name, and I asked my eldest brother to help me find it. I don't know this wine cellar very well, so I don't recognize it."

"Okay." The guard threw the lock aside and went in to look for wine.

"What's going on, the ground is sticky and smells fishy?" As soon as the guard stepped into the wine cellar, he felt a sticky feeling on the ground. As he walked step by step, he made a strange sound and said There are some soft things that can't be said, but it's weird, and after smelling the wine for a long time, there is a fishy smell hidden inside. Could it be something dirty? My heart was numb, and fear slowly welled up from the bottom of my heart. Resisting this feeling of fear, the guard bravely walked into the depths of the wine cellar. The ordinary daughter Hong was placed outside the wine cellar, but it was used by the Eighth Prince and used to worship the gods, so it must be used. The best daughter red, and the best daughter red must be kept in the interior according to the nobles' usual collection preferences.

Because before the nobles replaced the servants in large numbers in large numbers, many of them were unsolicited, including the guard in front of him, who had not experienced any major storms, and always had no idea when he was doing things.

The further I go, the more uneasy I feel in my heart, and I always feel that when I go in, I will see something extraordinary.

Outside the wine cellar, everyone in Xi Niang was anxiously waiting. Although it was a half-way rule to sacrifice wine to the gods, it didn't take much time to sacrifice to the gods, but this young guard took the wine so slowly that it delayed the auspicious time of the follow-up salute. It's not good, but it will be a bad omen! Xi Niang was in a hurry, and she actually said everything she thought. Later, she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said. She hurriedly covered her mouth and stared around, and found that there was no one else besides them. , he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to the maids and said, "Don't say what you said just now, otherwise everyone will be involved. If you are punished, it is not as simple as deducting the reward and silver. You're going to be punished! Don't talk too much."

There was a little girl who looked only fifteen years old, and said timidly, "But, when I entered the new house, I saw that there were no swords hanging on the wall to suppress evil spirits. In my hometown, there was one hanging on the wall of the new house during the wedding. The custom of using a sword to suppress evil spirits, saying that if we don’t hang the sword, it will be unlucky. If we miss the auspicious time because of drinking wine… It’s not our fault.”

"Stupid! Which ravine did you come from, you don't understand the world at all!" Xi Niang scolded, "It's enough for you to keep this in your heart, why say it to harm our group! The rules of your hometown are your hometown. When you come to this Yuntian City to work in a noble house, you have to abide by the rules here! Master says whatever you want, but you sold your life to them, and their only thought is to kill you. There's nothing to say! Besides, the young and old in your family may rely on you to live their lives in the future. The noble family is no better than a small businessman. If you can achieve the position of the big maid in the house in the future, even the status of your family will rise. It's much better than the poor days in the past! If you want to seek death, find a cool place by yourself, don't die with us!" The more Xi Niang said, the more angry she was, rather than giving birth to this little girl who didn't know the world and caused trouble. It's better to be angry with the little girl's words, trying to suppress the unease in her heart. It had been a quarter of an hour since the guard entered the wine cellar. At this time, the sky was dark, the breeze was breezy, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.

Xi Niang took advantage of the vigor she scolded the little girl just now, and her voice became louder, "What's your name?"

"Slave Yan Ling, this is the name the housekeeper chose when he entered the mansion." Yan Ling bowed his head and replied to Xi Niang's words with red eyes. She can't open the pot at home, her mother is seriously ill, and her younger brothers and sisters have reached the age to go to school. If she doesn't come to your house to be a maid, she can only go to the Qing Pavilion. She doesn't want to go, although she looks pretty good. When she entered the mansion, she didn't talk too much about her family's situation to others. Anyone who entered the manor as a maid, who was not poor and hard, was all for the family's livelihood.

"Yan Ling.. This name is okay, you can go to other places to help now, don't follow this, or go to the new house to serve the eighth prince and princess, we are all gone, it's always not good to have no one there to serve. "

After saying "Yes", Yan Ling stepped back with red eyes, and when he turned to leave, he heard Xi Niang sigh, "Do things here, don't be curious about anything, don't open your mouth lightly, keep your mouth and eyes in check, your brain needs to be If you can turn around, you can live well, learn to get out of the way and survive until the end is the winner.”

Years later, Yan Ling's words are still deeply remembered. It is a sentence that she has always engraved in her heart since she survived in this mansion step by step and became the maid of the Feng family.

When Yan Lingcai walked out a distance from the wine cellar, there was a sudden burst of screams from the wine cellar, one after another, causing the birds standing on the treetops in the distant woods to startle, flapping their wings and flying into the depths of the night. There was a bloody smell.

Yan Ling was stunned, suddenly reacted and ran in the direction of the new house, subconsciously, if he ran to the new house, he would definitely be saved, for sure.

——The night was dark, and the fishy smell hidden in the rich aroma of wine in the wine cellar caused the guards to palpitate for a while. They came to the depths of the wine cellar, took out flint and groped for the lampstand in the dark, but they didn’t touch it for a long time. When he arrived, he began to become impatient in his heart. At this time, he heard Xi Niang outside as if he was teaching a little girl a lesson, and the crying and scolding made him even more annoyed.

"Brother guard, please hurry up, the Eighth Prince is still waiting, and there are still many etiquettes to be done. The auspicious time will be missed and the time for the groom's toast will be missed, but we will suffer!"

"What kind of ghost place is this, don't you all say that your family's wealth and glory are like a palace, why is there such a ghost place." He said to himself to help himself, and then heard the urging voice of Xi Niang outside, shouting "" It's almost time! Don't worry." Someone said a word with him, but he still dissipated a lot of fear in his heart, at least there were a group of people outside, what could it be.

Yo, I got it! The flint was lit, the lamp was lit, and the wine cellar slowly lit up. The guard lit the lamp, put the flint in his arms, and turned around to find the jar of the best daughter, Hong, when his body suddenly froze and his eyes widened. , the mouth is also slightly open, the lips trembling violently. The scene in front of his eyes will never be forgotten in his entire life, but his life as a guard will end today.

——In the wine cellar, wine jars seem to be randomly placed around, but in fact it seems to have a different meaning. The walls are inlaid with countless white sapphire as white as snow. When the flint is used to light the lamp, it slowly lights up. The light of the wine shines on the white spar, reflecting the warm warm yellow light of the candle. The mellow wine aroma in the whole wine cellar is overflowing, mixed with the warm yellow light, and the flickering light of the white sapphire on the wall, It's like being in a dream.

This is what he remembered when he entered the mansion not long ago, the old guard who was in charge of taking him and the scene he described. The old guard entered the mansion several years earlier than him. He once followed the chief guard to patrol the wine cellar and helped to move the wine once. , When the guards entered the mansion, they were taught by the old guards, because the number of guards who entered the mansion was just a few more, and he was the least qualified of the new guards, and those with superior qualifications were taken early. He went to the Dark Guard for training, and someone with extremely poor aptitude like him had to be sent to be a night watchman, or a superficial kung fu person. The old guard was promoted to the head of the guard after he had just entered the mansion and was taught by him for three days. The old guard was very happy. He bluntly said that the guard is his lucky star. The two of them ate delicious and spicy food together.

The guards were also happy for the old guard. Although the Feng family was very big, he didn't know how many guards there were, not to mention that there were ten guards, and the chief guard was not a big position in his opinion. But the old guard was happy, and he couldn't bear to touch him, so he drank and celebrated with him. The two drank until the middle of the night, until they couldn't drink anymore, lying on the table and talking drunk, "Brother, as soon as you enter the manor and are thrown under my hands to teach, I'm not worth it for you, you say qualifications. It's important, but it doesn't have to be someone who doesn't work hard and sweats hard. Why should we be screened out based on the first impression? Ah? Why?" The old guard said drunkenly, and the guard could only smile bitterly. Commoners like them, such mediocre people, can enter the noble family's family and do the most marginal things. It is already a great blessing. Their world is completely different from the ordinary ones. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Step into a world where you must be with the darkness all day long, tether everything to your hands, and be vigilant at all times. A special world requires special people to adapt. Once ordinary people touch it, they will all turn into bone mounds, which are used to accumulate this world. formation work.
