Chapter 242: Eight Guards
Zhou Yu asked herself, the question she had never dared to think about before had actually been confirmed to some extent, the sixth mother of the Qin family, maybe as Mr. Tanglin said, is a person with a strange fate, and even, not very human!?
Their ancestors and grandchildren had done so many things for Qin Su, and it was too late to stop at the moment, and it was not beneficial to either side. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn addition, if you take another 10,000 steps back and say, following Qin Su does not necessarily mean endless trouble.
In this short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Yu's mind, and when she came back to her senses, she found that there were already several stone steps in front of her, and the thick shade beside the steps, and the green willows were blowing on the threshold, which was the courtyard gate of Yanxia Pavilion.
She was so engrossed in her mind that she didn't know when she was able to get out.
She was slightly startled, turned her head, and wanted to say something to Ah Kui, but at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "How are you standing outside the door?"
This calm and slightly vicissitudes of the man's voice made Zhou Yu close her mouth instantly, and her complexion returned to her usual indifference.
"Steward Dong is here. She turned around and greeted Dong Liang politely, and her voice was very respectful: "The labor steward ran again, and it was hard work." ”
Dong Liang wore a pale black robe, and the black cloth shoes on his feet were spotless, and he said unhurriedly: "This is all Mrs. Tai's orders, I'm just running an errand." The sixth lady is alone outside, and she can't be left unguarded. ”
His attitude was very calm, although he went back and forth between Baiyun Temple and Qin Mansion twice in a day, but he didn't seem to be tired at all, and he was not affected by the damp and stuffy weather at all, the sleeves of his clothes were clean, and not even a single hair was messed up.
Dong Liang went to transfer the guards.
Originally, the guards of Penglai Pavilion could no longer perform the task of guarding, so he went back to the house to transfer people, and Zhou Yu stayed to settle down all things, and the two were so divided at that time.
"Mrs. Tai is thoughtful. Zhou Yu said respectfully, and smiled politely at Dong Liang: "Steward Dong is not here, and Steward Dong is busy." ”
Hearing someone talk about Dong An, a smile appeared on Dong Liang's face, and he said: "Tian Hunting is a hard job, he is young, and it is best for him to take over." He's pretty thorough, and I can put my mind at ease. He seemed to be quite emotional, and when he said this, he sighed, stroked his silver hair, and said a little self-deprecatingly: "I'm old, with old arms and legs, but I can't run." ”
Although it was self-deprecating, the relief in his tone was distinct.
Zhou Yu smiled: "As soon as I talked about Xiao Dong's stewardship, Dong's steward said more. After a pause, he asked with concern: "Is there nothing wrong with Zhuangzi?"
Dong Liang put down his hand, put his two sleeves together in his lower abdomen, and said in a calm voice: "Fortunately, it's okay." Early this morning, as soon as the guests were sent back to the house, only A'an sent a letter back, saying that he was inspecting the premises in the grange, counting the number of rice grains, and checking the accounts, and he would come back after the disposal, which happened to be able to keep up with the carriage and horses we left Qingzhou, but Mrs. Tai was also relieved. ”
"That's thankful. Zhou Yu clasped her palms together and said, with a faint smile on her face, and glanced at Dong Liang, both of whom understood.
Dong An stayed in the Grange for fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos, and the people he guarded against were the two brothers-in-law of the Lin family - Lin Dalang, Lin Shouzheng, Lin Erlang, and Lin Shoucheng.
In late April, the Lin brothers played the name of the Qin family, and successively invited some of the children of the middle and small scholars in Beijing to go to the Grange to hunt.
Speaking of which, the two granges of the Qin family in Shangjing are located in a hundred miles outside the south gate, covering an extremely wide area, which is the industry under the name of Mrs. Tai, and the annual income is very good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, rich in products, and the scenery is also very beautiful, especially there are many wild things, which is a good place for field hunting.
Now that the Qin family is mourning, the communication between these scholars is not good, and it is appropriate for the two brothers of the Lin family to come forward, so this field hunt has the approval of Mrs. Tai.
However, Mrs. Tai knew the face of the Lin family, although she should go to the field hunting, but she was not defenseless, so she ordered Dong An to follow, nominally to serve, but in fact to monitor, and specially assigned him fifty guards, which was quite powerful.
"This is Mrs. Tuo Hongfu. Dong Liang said slowly, took out a small bamboo fan from his sleeve, and said leisurely while fanning the wind: "Is A'an acting on orders, or is Mrs. Tai far-sighted." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Zhou nodded approvingly, and glanced behind him again, but saw several men in strong suits standing behind him, her eyes showed a slight surprise, and asked, "Are these all sent people?"
Dong Liang shook the fan unhurriedly to attract the wind, and said with his head bowed: "Exactly, it was Mrs. Tai's personal order, saying that she would send more people to her, so that her old man would rest assured, so I doubled the manpower, and Mrs. Tai also nodded." ”
He answered very thoroughly, and he was not despised because of Zhou's identity.
Although Zhou Yu is only in charge of the inner house, she is a powerful celebrity beside Mrs. Tai, so Dong Liang's attitude towards her is more polite, and the explanation is very clear. After saying those words, he looked at the courtyard gate again, lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Is the sixth lady resting?"
Zhou Yu didn't think about it, and immediately nodded and said, "I will rest after lunch." I was so frightened last night that I didn't dare to go back to my room for half the night, so I sat in the courtyard all the time, and now that I have settled down, I am very tired. I saw that she was sleeping peacefully, so I came to the door to greet people first, because I was afraid that the guards would come after a while, and alarm the six ladies. ”
The guards are all young and strong men, Qin Su is not easy to meet directly, the reason given by Zhou Yu is undoubtedly very appropriate, and it is natural to cover up the fact that she was driven out by Qin Su.
In fact, after thinking about everything, Zhou Yu's attitude towards Qin Su in her heart had already changed drastically, and her attitude at this moment was completely different from Fang Cai.
Dong Liang didn't say anything when he heard this, but said indifferently: "Since this is the case, there is no need to alarm the sixth lady, just me and my concubine will explain." As he spoke, he turned around and pointed at the guards, and said, "Mrs. Tai called for the selection of safe people, these eight people were all personally selected by me, their martial arts skills are good, and their actions are even more moderate, and they will protect the six ladies in the future." ”
Zhou Yu looked carefully in the direction of his fingers, but saw that although the eight guards were of different ages, their faces were all steady and calm, and there was no rash appearance. (To be continued.) )
