Chapter 46: Hearing the News, Two Thoughts

The master shook his head twice in a row, and the blank space was even more a ball of oars on the top of his head, only this man was squirming, and he was just about to open his mouth to ask again, and the courtyard door "squeak!" "There was a ring, and someone entered the courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Blank turned his face to look.

Xiao Yi also glanced at the door with a flicker of eyes.

I saw the man who sold Lai turned around and closed the door, and then turned around and saw his master in the courtyard, so he hurriedly trotted over and saluted: "My subordinates have seen the master." ”

Xiao Yi sat up and said lazily, "Is there any movement over there?" ”

The vegetable seller said in a low voice, "Yes, Mrs. Nine said...... Whether it is appropriate or not, can only be determined when the person sees the painting. ”

And so it was!

A smile flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and she said, "She sent someone to check the old man surnamed Chen." ”

Although this sentence is a question, it has a very certain flavor.

The vegetable seller said more and more respectfully: "Yes, Mrs. Nine asked Freehand to pick someone to go to the mansion." After replying to this, he saluted again: "If the lord does not give orders, the subordinates will retire." ”

Since Beiwan came back from Chengnan, Xiao Yi has been waiting for Freehand to send someone to send the news back.

Now that the news was there, he raised his hand and fanned it outward.

The vegetable seller took two steps back, waited until he was far away from the low couch, and then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

The wind rose, and the osmanthus trees blown by the wind swayed.

A few dried bunches of flowers "fluttered" down, fell halfway, and then trembled and hung on the branches.

A few more dead leaves left the branches, swirled in the wind, and then turned over a few times on the ground to Xiao Yi's feet.

Xiao Yi lowered her eyelids, stared at the dead leaves for a moment, and suddenly raised her eyes, looked at the blank and said, "It's over tonight...... Tell me to go down and keep an eye on the movements of the county guard. ”

"Yes, I will do it immediately." Liubai bowed down and hurried away.

The wind was a little cold.

In the cold wind, there is a faint sweet fragrance of osmanthus.

Xiao Yi looked at the laurel tree, for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said to himself in a low voice: "Even if you are very smart, this one...... I'm afraid I can't handle it. ”

Here he is talking to himself, the snow in the south of the city is not Wanwan.

After instructing freehand, Xie Jiang stood outside the corridor for a while, just turned around, suddenly had an itch in his nose, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover it, and waited for a sneeze to come out, and then entered the house.

Hearing her sneeze, the two little girls looked at each other, and then followed without waiting for instructions.

The two entered the hall but didn't say much, a little girl walked to the charcoal stove, squatted down, and took a shovel to add carbon.

Another little girl took a clay pot, poured warm tea into the basin, and added boiling hot tea.

After pouring another cup of hot tea and putting it on the table, the little girl put down the teapot and asked, "Madam, what should I use for dinner, the slave and maid should prepare it." ”

Xie Jiang saw that this little girl didn't talk much, and she was very accurate in doing things, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

The little girl still lowered her eyelids, and curtsied and said, "Mrs. Hui, the slave maid is called Asu." ”

Xie Jiang looked at her respectfully, and his eyes didn't look at her when he spoke, he thought for a while, and said, "Asu, you told the bud chef to cook more broth and steam some white cakes, which is enough for fifty or sixty people." ”

Asu thought about it, then bent his knees and said, "Madam, these are done, where are you going to send them?" ”

Fang only thought that there was a group of people outside who wanted to eat, but he didn't think of preparing food, and these people couldn't come in with a big grin.

I can only use the method of letting them know and others not paying attention.

Xie Jiang rolled his eyes and said, "It's done, you just stand in front of the bud kitchen and knock on the basin, shout three times that the rice is ready, and then, what should you do." ”

Ah Su was stunned for a moment, and then pursed her lips again, as if she wanted to laugh, but she held back and bowed: "If Madam has no other instructions, the slave and maid will go down to prepare." ”

Xie Jiang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll rest for a while, and wait for the new moon to come back and call me." ”

Ah Su answered, turned around, glanced at the other little girl, and the two of them exited the main hall together.

In late autumn, it always gets dark early.

The sun had sunk for only three or four moments, and the sky was dark.

The crescent moon went around the shadow wall, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a red lantern slipping under the porch, and the courtyard illuminated by it was bright, and the lights in the hall were flickering, and it was also bright, so she raised her feet and went to the main hall.

When I got to the bottom of the porch, I saw a little girl come out with a basin of water, and the new moon was at her feet, and she hurriedly turned sideways.

When the little girl went out, Xinyue entered the house.

Xie Jiang glanced at her, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and handed the handkerchief to Asu again: "There is no need to serve at the bottom." ”

Ah Su was also very eye-catching, and when he saw Xinyue standing aside with his hands down, he hurriedly bent his knees in response.

When she took the handkerchief and went out, and turned back to close the door, Xinyue stepped forward and whispered, "Madam." ”

Xie Jiang sat down on the couch and asked softly, "How is Twelve?" ”

Xinyue said: "The slave maid led the Xiao family's guards to find Wu Twelve, and said what Mrs. meant, and Wu Twelve led people to cook dates." ”

Xie Jiang nodded and said, "Originally, I didn't worry about him going by himself, I was afraid that there would be a case." Now there are about a dozen people with me, so it must be safer. ”

Crescent said, "Yes." After a brief pause, he said: "The slave and maid saw Freehand outside the door, and Freehand said that it was inconvenient to come to see Mrs. at night, and asked the slave and Mrs. to have a few words." ”

Xie Jiang's mind moved, and he asked softly, "Is it about that Chen Guolangjun?" ”

Xinyue said in a low voice: "Yes, he said that this Lang Jun is a proud disciple of Chen Quanshan, a famous calligrapher and painter of Chen Guo, and he likes to travel around. When I came to Liyang two years ago, I met the county guard, and the two talked very closely. ”

Chen Quanshan, a famous calligrapher and painter?

Xie Jiang vaguely remembered that when he got married, Wang Jiu invited two famous calligraphers and painters, including several masters of calligraphy and painting in Chen Guo.

It's just that she didn't know if there was this Chen Quanshan at that time.

Xie Jiang simply threw this away and asked softly, "What's this person's name?" What is your family background? ”

Xinyue said: "Freehand says that he was born in the Chen family, called Chen Yuanying." ”

Coming from a big family?

The family is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and a sentence of Chen Yuanying's family is over?

Xie Jiang faintly felt that something was wrong.

It is said that according to Xiao Yi's way of doing things, since his subordinates are strictly disciplined, they should be meticulous in handling things, and it is impossible to be so careless that they only check their names.

Could it be that this Chen Yuanying is also a secret identity? It takes a lot of effort to investigate?

Xie Jiang frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason, so he raised his eyes and looked at the new moon, and said, "What else did you say?" ”

Just now I bumped into the opposite face at the gate, and what I said freehand, Xinyue naturally remembered it clearly.

It was because she remembered clearly that the little girl was reluctant, and she said after a long time: "He said that Chen Yuanying was outstanding, and the women were overwhelmed when they saw it, so they asked Mrs. Mo to find him, just sit in Beiwan and wait for news." ”

Xie Jiang was stunned when he heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh out loud.
