319 Confession
Yan Qi collected the arrow, and followed the second young master Yan Jiu into the inner courtyard behind the second wife, and as soon as he stepped into the door, the second wife of Yan shook, and almost fell to the ground, and was held by the sisters and brothers one by one, and sat on the chair, the second Mrs. Yan's face turned pale, and she tried hard to bite her trembling lips with her teeth, but she almost bit her lips, Yan Qi squatted in front of her, held her cold hand, raised her face to look at her, just like Yan Zichen squatted to look at her before leaving, and said softly: " It's useless to think too much, whether the news is true or not, hold on, and live a good life as always, which is the greatest relief to my father. ”
Mrs. Yan's tears were contained in her eyes, but she didn't fall half a drop, she held Yan Qi's hand tightly, gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, took Yan Qi into her arms and hugged her hard, and then let go, stood up with a slight tremble, and said in a dumb voice: " Mama Lan, let everyone pack up their things, don't lose them, you stare at them, move quickly; Mama Gui, you take the five colors and ten incense to count each library, and let Zhang Biao take someone to pack up and pack the boxes after counting; Gardenia, you and the six jade and eight treasures pack up the things of Xiao Eleven, and the rest of the people will take care of your young lady and young master's things, and call Zhang Biao to call them again, I have something to order. ”
When the upper room was busy, Mrs. Yan Erli went to the porch outside to talk to Zhang Biao: "Bring a few brothers outside and scatter to inquire, if there is anyone willing to rent a yard, they can let us move in tonight, the price is negotiable, find the place first." ”
Zhang Biao gritted his teeth angrily: "Madam, as long as you say a word, my brother will fight for this life and go to the Yao family to kill the old dog Yao!"
"And then?" Young Master Yan Jiu said lightly beside him, "Let Yao Lida's remnants of the party bring soldiers to kill all of our family?"
Zhang Biao snorted, but he had nothing to say, now that the life and death of the boss were uncertain, the orphans and widows of the Yan family could not only let Yao Lida rub and knead the rounds? The imperial court was 108,000 miles away, and the distant water could not save the fire, so he had to take the life of the second wife of Yan and strode outside.
Yan Qi They didn't come to Beisai for a long time, and there were not too many daily necessities, so they cleaned up properly, and went to help Mrs. Yan Er clean up, and they didn't care about eating dinner, each person ate a cake and white water, and when the moon was in the east sky, Zhang Biao took someone back from outside, and replied to Mrs. Yan's second wife: "A bunch of dogs!" The timid and afraid don't dare to rent to us, and those who dare to rent are called high prices to death, or they are all small courtyards with two or three entrances, but there are only three rooms, and there are not many people living at all. ”
Second Mrs. Yan looked at the sleepy little eleven in Yan Qi's arms, and couldn't help but hesitate, but she heard Young Master Yan Jiu say beside her: "The house in Wujin is just the right size, the price is not expensive, and it is in a hurry to rent it out at this time, there are really many clever things in this world." ”
Mrs. Yan immediately made up her mind: "Then the house doesn't have to be considered, can there be a house of the right size if it is called a high price?"
Zhang Biao told the second Mrs. Yan about the situation of the house, Yan Qi lowered his head to coax Xiao Eleven to sleep, and then looked up, and saw Wuzhi standing outside the door of the upper room looking inside, seeing that Yan Qi found him, he hurriedly made a look, Yan Qi handed Xiao Eleven to the nurse Yu Niang, and then stepped out.
"Miss Seven," Wuzhi took out a note from his arms and handed it to Yan Qi, and said in a low voice, "When the little one was cleaning up the Xiaolu, he found this in the compartment under the 'driver's seat'. ”
Yan Qi opened the note and saw a few words scribbled on it: Luminous Street, Pipa Lane, the key deed is hidden in the second poplar cave. The news of Yan Zichen's death was indeed reported from the barbarian battlefield, but it still needs to be confirmed, and Jingguan also has it. Don't get close to Yao again!
Three sentences and three things, although they do not clearly explain anything, but in combination with the current situation, they can roughly understand the meaning.
"Pipa Lane, Luminous Street," Yan Qi put the note into his sleeve, "Wuzhi, please go to this place with Xiao Chen, pay attention to safety, and don't let others target you." ”
"Yes!" Wuzhi went immediately, Yan Qi went back to the upper hall and gave the note to Young Master Yan Jiu.
Young Master Yan Jiu glanced at it twice, and then burned his hand on the oil lamp next to him, and Yan Qi asked him, "Who do you think left this note?"
"Lei Yu. Young Master Yan Jiu barely hesitated, "Only his people and Lei Yu's people know about Yao Lida's driving us out of this place, and the Xiaolu is our carriage, and only Lei Yu, who has been with us all the way, knows about the fact that there is a compartment for sleeping people under the driver's seat." This person was sent to charge grain, and the emperor's intention was really not so simple. ”
"Is this person credible?" Yan Qi asked.
"In this matter, it should be credible. Young Master Yan Jiu muttered, "Otherwise, there would be no need for him to risk falling out with Yao Lida and doing such superfluous things." ”
"Then the news of my father's death is also very likely to be true. "Yan Qidao.
Young Master Yan Jiu was silent.
Xiao Chen and Wuzhi came back soon, waiting in the courtyard for Yan Qi to come out of the upper room, but Young Master Yan Jiu walked in front of him first and asked Wuzhi, "How is it?"
Wuzhi hurriedly said: "It's an empty house, Wujin Courtyard, the deed and keys have been obtained, and there are houses around, which is quite quiet." As he spoke, he handed the deed and key to Young Master Yan Jiu, Young Master Yan Jiu looked at the deed by the light under the corridor, but saw that it was a lease contract, the lessor's name was Li Chengji, the owner of the house, and the lower head had pressed his fingerprint, but the place where the tenant's name should be written was empty, as long as the person holding the contract was willing, he could write his name on it at any time, and the lease amount in the contract was neither high nor low, and marked "paid" , the lease period is from today to next year, which means that this house Yan family can live for a year without spending a penny.
Young Master Yan Jiu took the deed and the key back to the upper room, and said to Mrs. Yan Er: "Wuzhi They found a good house, the owner of the house is in a hurry to leave Fengtu City with his family to avoid the army, and he wants to rent the house temporarily, and come back after the war is over, because he is in a hurry to make a move and does not want to wait longer, so I will let Wuzhi sign the deed with him first, and the key has also been taken, and now you can move in." ”
When Mrs. Yan heard this, she asked about the cause and effect again, and was calmly made up a lie by Young Master Yan Jiu, so she didn't suspect it, and when she saw that it was not early, she asked everyone to load their luggage into the car and prepare to move.
Yan Qi seized the opportunity to ask Young Master Yan Jiu: "Do you really want to accept Lei Yu's feelings?"
Young Master Yan Jiu glanced at her: "Don't worry, you can't even affect Cui Xi." On the contrary, if we don't admit his feelings, it will make him suspicious and change, at the moment we have nothing to rely on here, less enemies are the first thing, this deed is actually a mutual containment and non-interference treaty signed by Lei Yu and us, he guarantees our temporary peace, but also wants us not to destroy his plan, whether he came to Beisai this time with a special instruction from above, those of us who witnessed him lose his military rations, will not be a happy existence for him, only if we accept his help, owe him this love, he can rest assured to put us from the opposite side to a neutral position, and we are in a weak position, his favor also has to be accepted. ”
"You're right. "Yan Qidao.
The Yan family moved home, it took almost the whole night, and finally even the plaque with the word "Yan House" was removed, because it was dark and did not clean up the new house, so they made up the bed and rested first, and only started to take care of it the next day. The new house is a five-entry house, which is much more spacious than the previous three-entry house, so the maids all lived in the fifth, the four members of the Yan family lived in the fourth, the second Mrs. Yan lived in the upper room with Xiao Eleven, Yan Qi lived in the west chamber, the young master Yan Jiu lived in the east chamber with five branches, the third entered the courtyard as the place where the second wife Yan presided over the feed, and the second entry was given to the guests Cui Xi and Xiao Chen, Zhang Biao and the guy's personal soldiers all lived in the first courtyard, and everywhere was very spacious and relaxed.
What's even better is that the furniture in this house is quite complete, not very old, it looks like it has only been used for a year or two, and the girls and servants have cleaned the house, and the furniture has been carefully wiped inside and out, and then covered with the bedding and other things brought by their own families, and the whole house has a new look.
It took another day just to clean up, and at night after eating, the tired people went to bed early, and the next day the day was relieved, and the days were back on track.
However, everyone's heart seems to be pressing a big stone, Zhang Biao didn't care about helping to clean up the house for the past two days, he has been running outside, asking around about the battle situation ahead, but every time he hears the news, it is both chaotic and bad, the rumor of Yan Zichen's death has spread throughout most of the city, and a large number of people have begun to abandon the city and flee - how long can it last without Yan Zichen's border army?
Mrs. Yan Er often hung two dark circles in the house in a daze, and several times Xiao Eleven cried but failed to surprise her back to her senses, and the whole Yan Mansion gradually fell into a gloomy fog.
"I'll go check it out. In the evening, Yan Qi entered Young Master Yan Jiu's house and said to him.
"How can I confirm it?" Young Master Yan Jiu raised his head from the map of Beisai that he was looking at.
"Go to the place where you want to see if there is any of his body. "Yan Qidao.
"That's the edge of the barbarian battlefield. Young Master Yan Jiu's fingers clicked on the map.
"Don't worry, I won't get too close, I have a telescope made by Cui Xi, and I can observe from afar. Yan Qi took out the telescope from his sleeve.
Young Master Yan Jiu was silent, just frowning and staring at her face.
"Good," Yan Qi stretched out his hand and gently covered the top of his brother's brain, who was already half a head taller than him, this time he didn't pick it up in disgust, "Evasion and random speculation are not the solution to the problem, if you want to know the answer, the fastest and easiest way is to go directly to the problem." Wait for me at home, take care of my mother, and I'll be back soon. ”
Young Master Yan Jiu's hand hidden in his cuffs was tightly clenched into a fist, but he asked lightly with an expressionless face, "How long will it take?"
"I have to ask you this, look at the map, how far is it from here to the barbarian's position?" Yan Qidao.
"How are you going?" Young Master Yan Jiu had a cold face.
"On foot, on foot. "Yan Qidao.
"It takes three days to stop. Young Master Yan Jiu stared at her coldly.
"Then I'll have to bring some dry food and water. "Yan Qi avoids the heavy and light.
Young Master Yan Jiu turned his head and stared at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and it took a long time for him to slowly bite out the words word by word: "If you don't come back in ten days......
You just keep waiting at home. Yan Qi interrupted him, "The plan can never catch up with the changes, and I can't make any promises in this case, but as long as you insist on not seeing my people or corpses, you will never believe any rumors or make any brain repairs." Believe me, Jinghong, I probably have more experience in battlefield escape than my father. ”
Young Master Yan Jiu lowered his eyes and didn't make a sound for a long time, until his sister reached out and held his hand, then slowly raised her eyelids to look at her: "I'm waiting for you to come back, whether it's ten days or ten months, if you don't come back for the rest of your life, I'll wait here for the rest of my life." ”
"It's so stressful, don't be so threatening. Yan Qi said and let go of his brother's hand and turned to walk out, "I'll set off tonight, take care of Cui Xi and Xiao Chen for me, don't let those two goods ...... Belch. ”
Xiao Chen, one of the "goods", walked in from outside the door and asked her, "Where are you going?"
"Go back to your room. Yan Qi misinterpreted the problem and wanted to bypass Xiao Chen and go out, but was stopped by Xiao Chen.
"You're going to the barbarian position?" Xiao Chen just spoke slowly, and people were not stupid.
"By the way, what are you looking for Xiao Jiu?" Yan Qi looked at him left and right.
"Ask him the route to the barbarian position. Xiao Chen said.
"Don't tell him. Yan Qi turned his head and said to Young Master Yan Jiu.
"......" Xiao Chen looked at her, "If you want to go, I will accompany you." ”
"No, don't let us bear the burden of Beren. "Yan Qidao.
"I can also go on my own. Xiao Chen said calmly.
"......" Yan Qi looked at Xiao Chen's face, knowing that this upright guy would not easily change his mind once he made up his mind, and she would not force others to decide, so he nodded his head: "Then let's go together, leave tonight, and ride your horse." 166 Reading Network
