Chapter 7 Farewell Outside the City 1
The golden yellow sparkling satin is lined with a silver-white South Sea pearl necklace and a mutton fat white jade bracelet, which is very gorgeous and gorgeous.
Under Lu Xueyue's gaze, Leng Qing gently closed the lid of the box that exuded a faint fragrance of peachwood, covering up the splendor in the box and the ...... in Leng Qing's heart Guilty.
Under the light of the candlelight, the thin lacquer on the surface of the box carved with lifelike peach blossoms reflects the faint candlelight, which is not dazzling, but it is very dazzling, and people can't bear to look at it directly.
Remove the small copper lock on the lock ring, press down the lock plate, put on the small copper lock, and drop the lock. Locked the gorgeous, locked the guilty.
Holding the delicate and small brocade box, Leng Qing asked, "I heard from the people in the house, there is a small lake in the middle courtyard?"
has lived in Zhu Mansion for so many days, but Leng Qing has not had a chance to visit Zhu Mansion properly, about the small lake in the middle courtyard, Leng Qing casually called a maid to ask after returning to the house this afternoon.
Lu Xueyue nodded: "Yes, young lady." The mother-in-law of the older generation in the house said that the small lake was excavated at the beginning of the construction of the house, and it is the size of most of the Korean courtyards! Because the ancestral hall is on the opposite side of the lake, the lake is very open and there are no buildings, but there are many varieties of plum blossoms planted around the lake, and the plum fragrance is overflowing in winter, which is very refreshing. The lake is full of pink lotus, and every summer, patches of lotus leaves are lined with pink lotus flowers, which is beautiful!"
Smiling slightly, Leng Qing handed the locked brocade box into Lu Xueyue's hand, and the clear and cold voice resounded throughout the new house.
Leng Qing said: "Xiaoyue, destroy the key, carefully seal the gap in the box with candle wax, and then ...... Sink into the lotus lake in the middle of the house, and don't let anyone know about it, you know?"
ββ¦β¦ The slave and maid know. After a while, holding the two-palm-thick brocade box with both hands, Lu Xueyue, who had originally said that her eyebrows were flying, agreed.
Turning around, Lu Xueyue walked in the direction of the door, looking at her stunned expression, obviously she hadn't recovered from Leng Qing's instructions.
"But why did the young lady do this? This box and the contents of the box are very valuable! Just sink into the lake......" Lu Xueyue, who had just taken two steps, turned around and asked Leng Qing.
"Do you think it's a pity?" Leng Qing, who was sitting in Youzi, took Lu Xueyue's words coldly.
Lu Xueyue nodded wildly when she heard this.
"Hehe, Xiaoyue, have you forgotten your duty as a subordinate? Or has Mrs. Ben been too good at talking lately, so that you are starting to flutter, I don't know why, dare to question the master's orders?" Leng Qing's voice was already very cold, and he deliberately lowered it at this time, even if he was smiling on his face, he also revealed a sense of coldness.
Lu Xueyue, who has always been timid, was obviously frightened by Leng Qing's cold tone, and after being stunned for three seconds, Lu Xueyue swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, her legs trembled, and she knelt on the ground with a "bang", and her forehead immediately hit the cold ground.
Leng Qing didn't help Lu Xueyue, just looked at her quietly, expressionless and silent.
The panicked words came from under Lu Xueyue's deeply buried body: "The slave and maid will never dare again, beg the young lady to forgive the slave and the maid this time, and beg the young lady to ......"
"I think you are a first-time offender, Mrs. Ben doesn't care about you, you go and do what Mrs. Ben explained!" Wen Xuan's words interrupted Lu Xueyue's begging for mercy, and Leng Qing said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.
"Yes, young lady, slave maid is going to the sunken box!" With that, Lu Xueyue carefully got up from the ground, took the finely carved brocade box, and retreated to the door step by step, and then turned around...... He ran out of the room as if he were fleeing.
At the tea table in the room, looking at Lu Xueyue's figure running away, Leng Qing smiled lightly.
This girl...... It's really scary!
After disposing of the relics left by Liu Ruyun, Leng Qing stood up, but suddenly remembered that Ziyu was leaving Zhu's Mansion to go to Shuiyun Nunnery to become a monk.
When Leng Qing went to find Zhu Zimo in the afternoon, she forgot about Ziyu, and now that she remembers, she has to talk to Zhu Zimo.
Thinking that Zhu Zimo shouldn't have slept at this time, he went to the closet in the inner room and took a piece of clothing to put on, and Leng Qing immediately went out.
In ancient times, the subordinates had a deed of sale, and the subordinates who wanted to come to this world were the same, after all, Leng Qing was not the real young lady of the Zhu Mansion, this kind of personnel transfer, cough ...... In fact, it was she who promised Ziyu to leave Zhu's mansion without authorization, and Leng Qing felt that it was more reliable to report to the big boss.
Standing outside the door of Zhu Zimo's bedroom, looking at the faint candlelight projected on the door, Leng Qing raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Zhu Zimo, are you asleep?" β
"Come in, the door is unlocked. Behind the door, Zhu Zimo's cold voice came out.
Hearing this, Leng Qing stretched out her hand to push the door, and sure enough, it was not locked, and the door was pushed open as soon as she used force.
Leng Qing walked into the bedroom, and the pillar lamps in the room were all black, compared with her sixteen pillar lamps and the new room full of brightness, this wing room was very dim.
When he walked into the inner room, he saw Zhu Zimo with three thousand ink hair, covered with a thin quilt, lying on the side of the bed, reading by the faint candlelight of the candlestick placed on the small table one meter away from the bed.
At this moment, Zhu Zimo's whole person exudes a bookish atmosphere, not at all like a businessman who works step by step and calculates everything, to the point of being a scholar who wants to take the imperial examination.
When passing by the small case, Leng Qing didn't know what to think, picked up the candlestick on the small case, and after walking to Zhu Zimo's bedside, Leng Qing raised the candlestick in his hand not far from the book in Zhu Zimo's hand.
Feeling that the light suddenly brightened, and seeing that the words on the book in his hand became clearer and clearer, Zhu Zimo didn't look up, knowing that it was Leng Qing who brought the candlestick to him.
"This morning, Ziyu found me and said that she was going to Shuiyun'an to become a monk and pray for the deceased, because you were still in a coma at that time, so I privately allowed Ziyu to go to Shuiyun'an at her own time. Looking at the fly-headed little block on the book in Zhu Zimo's hand, Leng Qing explained the intention concisely.
When she said this, Leng Qing was also slandering: Damn! Such a small word is still reading in such a dim light! Even if she brings the candle now, she can't see it clearly! Could it be that he thinks he is the Monkey King? Or is he deliberately unable to get along with his own eyes?
Turning the page of the book in his hand, Zhu Zimo replied a little casually: "I know, since I have handed over the affairs in the house to you to take care of, you don't need to report everything to me." Ziyu's matter, I have long expected that she and her mother have always been very close, and now that her mother has died, it is normal for Ziyu to have no intention of staying in the house anymore, she wants to stay, you are in charge. β
Zhu Zimo said so, Leng Qing felt that she didn't have anything to say, and the matter of Ziyu was over.
"Hey, Zhu Zimo!" Leng Qing suddenly shouted.
Hearing Leng Qing call him, Zhu Zimo looked up at Leng Qing standing beside him suspiciously, although he didn't ask, he also had the word "question" written on his face.
"Reach out. Leng Qing spit out two words lightly, but it was a non-negotiable tone.
Frowning slightly, Zhu Zimo finally stretched out his right hand.
For Zhu Zimo's cooperation, Leng Qing expressed great satisfaction.
Putting the candlestick in his hand on Zhu Zimo's outstretched right hand, Leng Qing looked at Zhu Zimo and said with a light smile: "Reading books at night is not good for your eyes, don't read in such a dim light, it will increase the burden on your eyes." β
After that, Leng Qing turned around and left with satisfaction, and did not forget to help Zhu Zimo close the door from the outside.
In the inner room of the bedroom, Zhu Zimo was still lying on the edge of the bed, holding a book in his left hand and a candlestick in his right hand, his eyes drooping slightly, making it impossible to read what he was thinking.
For a long time, Zhu Zimo looked at the candlestick in his hand, shook his head, and a faint smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth, he really read a book with a candlestick in his hand.
Crepe flat Wanchun Building. Third floor. In the fourth wing room on the left side of the staircase.
"Oh, you mean, my second junior brother's wife, who single-handedly subdued those bullies?" a lazy voice slowly sounded from behind the layers of green veil, with a hint of suspicion.
Mu Wen, dressed in black and with a slender figure, stood outside the layers of green yarn, and arched his hand: "Yes, master, her subordinates can see it clearly, she knocked those ruffians to the ground with just one move, and those ruffians don't even have room to fight back." The moves are sharp and clean, and her shots are fast, accurate, and ruthless, but her subordinates can't tell where she comes from. β
"Hehe! Interesting! Interesting! I didn't expect that I, the wife of the second junior brother, would be able to do martial arts! Well, and the martial arts are very good!" a lazy voice sounded with a smile.
After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Wen finally said: "Master, I don't know how the master is going to deal with the matter of the alliance between Dazhang and the good country? The subordinates have verified the approximate number of people they will arrange that day and the route they will take, and it should be easy for the subordinates to bring the corresponding manpower to ambush and destroy along the way." β
"You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I have already told Zi Yan about it four days ago, compared to me, Zi Yan is even more unhappy to see Dazhang and the Liangguo Alliance. You can rest assured, this matter is absolutely clean and neat by Ziyan, someone will take the knife, why don't I do it?"
"Since the master has told Zhu Zimo to know, the rest of the matter is settled by Zhu Zimo, I don't know when the master plans to leave to go back?" Yesterday, his subordinates received a letter from Wang Quan, in which he urged his subordinates to go back quickly, saying that he had been overindulged recently, and his body didn't seem to be very good, and he wouldn't know when he would ......" Mu Wen asked, with a hint of caution in his voice.
After a short sound of running water, the lazy voice slowly sounded: "Don't worry, the master asked me to stay here for a few more days, and the master naturally has to listen to the master's words." The master has always been strict with me, and disobedience to the master's orders will be punished. As for that one, he's been like this all these years, and he can't die for a while. When you reply to Wang Quan, you will say that I will rush back as early as the end of the month, so late...... That's hard to say. β
Without a trace of hesitation, Mu Wen replied respectfully: "Yes." The subordinates understood. β
"By the way, Mu Wen, tell sΓΉ**, just say that I have been a little tired of these vulgar fans in her building recently, let her find a fresh product for her to relieve her boredom, as long as she can make her happy, the price will be opened with her. The lazy voice carried a shallow smile, endless evil.
"Yes!" said Mu Wen again, without a hint of hesitation.
