I don't know which way of the guests came, the Li Mansion, which was originally a little deserted, was very lively for a while, and the guests came in and out, although it had nothing to do with the stables and camel stables in the backyard, but they could still hear the noisy voices.

"Who's here today?"

Xia Yejin sat under the eaves, looked at He Fu'er who had just returned from the front yard and asked.

According to the days given by the palace, calculating the time, Pei Qinxue is almost going to the Li family.

"It's a member of the Pei family in Jinling, the second daughter of the county lord of Peixi, and it's still our master's cousin......" It seems that he has seen something pleasing to the eye, He Fuer's face was full of aftertaste when he spoke, and when he realized that Xia Yejin was staring at him, his face instantly turned cold, and said What are you asking so much? Have you done everything you have done?!

Xia Yejin responded casually, but her mind was on what she said just now.

Jinling Pei's family?

It seems that Qiu Shiliang really has great powers, and he actually gave Pei Qinxue such a noble identity, and he is the daughter of the county lord of Peixi, and the distant cousin of the Li family.

However, this is also Xia Yejin's own blind thought, and after a while, news came from the front, and Pei Qinxue's identity was suddenly discounted.

It turned out that just half a year ago, the Pei family in Jinling suffered a tragic misfortune, and dozens of people were wiped out overnight, and the reason why Pei Qinxue was able to survive was because she happened to go out to offer incense that day, and the night rain delayed the time to go home. And this time, she went to Beijing specifically to defect to the Li family.

"Alas, it's really pitiful, a good daughter, from now on she will live under the fence......"

He Fuer sighed while holding the horse brush.

Xia Yejin didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up a wooden barrel and walked out. All the hay she had just bought was in the front yard, and while there were not many people now, she had to put some in the stables first, lest she have to shorten her sleeping time tonight.

When it came to bedtime, Xia Yejin felt depressed again. As soon as she was stirred up by He Fu'er, she hadn't had a chance to close her eyes since she came back last night, and now she was so sleepy that she didn't want to do anything, just give her a pillow, and she would immediately fall asleep in minutes, and it would be no problem to stand.

But the woman in white was quite mysterious.

After rescuing her last night, she seemed to be in a hurry to do something, and before Xia Yejin's words of thanks could be spoken, they turned around and disappeared into the twilight. The woman was very frightened, Xia Yejin saw that there was no trace of blood on her face, so she borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and took apart the assorted cakes that He Fuer designated and handed her a piece. If it hadn't been for the other party's family arriving in time, she would have had to send the woman back.

The more I think about it, the heavier my eyelids become, anyway, there is no one around, so it shouldn't be tight to squint quietly for a while. Thinking like this, Xia Yejin leaned against the old locust tree in the northeast corner of the courtyard. I don't know how long it took, it vaguely seemed that someone was patting her shoulder, she reached out a little impatiently and waved away, but after a few consecutive swings, it had no effect at all, and in a fit of anger, she suddenly opened her eyes, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately closed them when she saw who the other party was, and then opened them again.

Oh, my God! Not so coincidental, right?

The woman in white who rescued her yesterday actually appeared in the Li Mansion?

"Uh...... That ......" Just when Xia Yejin didn't know how to address the other party and express her gratitude, she heard a voice rush in front of her, "Pei, Miss Pei is so ......"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Yejin saw He Fu'er walking towards this side, but it was a little strange that it was now autumn and the weather was not hot, why did this person look red as if he had been sunburned?

Huh?! Wait a minute!

Miss Pei? Pei Qinxue?!

After packing up her mind, Xia Yejin hurriedly stepped forward to make a move, "Thank you, girl, last night—what are you doing?" ……”

Before she finished speaking, she was dragged to the side by He Fu'er, and the other party stared at her with a pair of copper bell-like eyes, saying that she was a high-ranking daughter, but a little girl like you can approach? As if realizing that his voice was too loud, he lowered his voice and said, "What are you still doing?" Don't hurry up and get to work! ”

"I have something to tell Miss Pei."

"What's more important than feeding the horses? Besides, what can you do as a maid? While the weather is good today, why don't you hurry up and take the horse out of the city for a walk! ”

“……”

Pei Qinxue quietly looked at the two people in front of her who were chattering non-stop, but she felt incredible in her heart, it was really a coincidence, the person she saved yesterday turned out to be the maid of the Li Mansion. It's a pity that the other party is just a horse feeder, otherwise if you pull some, you can get something.

Full of thoughts about how to quickly and conveniently match Pei Qinxue and Li Xizhi, Xia Yejin walked the horse completely absent-mindedly, but fortunately, the Li Mansion was in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, not far from the White Horse River outside the city, so she was lucky enough to bring back more than a dozen good horses intact.

But even so, it was already dark when she returned to the Li Mansion. It was easy to drive all the horses back to the stables and tie them up, and I was thinking that I could finally go back to the next room to sleep peacefully, but when I turned around, I found that I had left the packed hay in the firewood room in the backyard.

When she walked to the backyard, she found that the firewood room was pitch black. I secretly said strangely, I will hold the lamp at this time on weekdays, could it be that the wind is too strong today?

Fortunately, she was familiar with the firewood room, and while thinking about it, she went into the room and touched the position of the candlestick in her impression. In the dark, I suddenly touched ...... A person's face?

Xia Yejin was so frightened that her soul flew away, she staggered a few steps and almost fell directly to the ground, and asked in a panic, "Who is there?" ”

There was silence.

Just as Xia Yejin turned around and was about to slip away, the surroundings suddenly lit up.

A man dressed in black sat on the table, covering most of his face, and turning a fire fold in his hand very leisurely. Judging by the exposed eyes, it doesn't seem to be very old.

Xia Yejin froze in place, her eyes widened, and she looked particularly bright in the flickering candlelight.

"Eh, it's boring." The man shook his head a little disappointed, "I wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect you to be scared at all, which makes me feel so unaccomplished." It's a lot less interesting to kill you. ”

"You, you're going to kill me?"

It's simply inexplicable.

The other party tilted his head and did not answer, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"But why?" Xia Yejin frowned, flying into trouble, this is, she hasn't done anything since she came here except to feed the horses and chop wood, right?

"Not why. You've discovered my whereabouts, so naturally you can't leave me alive. ”

“……”

Xia Yejin was speechless, "Then you can kill it." (To be continued.) )
