38. Shizuzawa

There was no light on the way, and it was dark, but it also gave Ye Sheng a good natural barrier. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two maids who walked in front didn't realize that they were being followed at all, and they bypassed a long corridor and stopped in front of the hanging flower gate of Jingze Garden.

Even at night, with Ye Sheng's eyesight, he could still see this ruined Jingze Garden clearly. The moss path in front of the door is desolate, the traces of the ruts are sparse, and the two poems have faded bright red and bright, all of which are still the old shadows. On the right, a camphor tree that grows against the wall is decadent and old, and it has fallen off all over the ground. The beams are covered with wild vines and wattles, like jade beads and golden curtains, swaying down from the corners of the eaves.

Who would have thought that in the golden and brilliant prime minister's mansion of Zhulou Biwa, there would be such a barren courtyard of rabbit sunflower oats?

Who would have thought that the princess of Yiguo, who was once freshly dressed and delicious, and the wife of the dignified princess, would now be so lonely?

Ye Sheng didn't wait for Ying and Lingyi to knock on the door, and he first climbed over the wall and entered the inner courtyard to observe the situation.

The grass is long, the branches and leaves are dead, and there is almost no place to put your feet. Only one weasel remains, hidden among the thorns and hazels, stretching towards the main house where the portal has fallen.

There was enough fire in the house, dim and indistinct, swaying. Listening carefully, it seems that there is a whisper of Jinglun Buddha.

At the door, the two were discussing who would call the door, and there was no movement for a while.

Ye Sheng's eyes flashed, and his toes tapped, but he turned out the same way again. This time, I didn't care about Yinghe's Suzuki's face, and made a heavy sound when I landed.

The two maidens let out a low cry, and the lantern fell to the ground, and in a short time it was engulfed by raging fire, and the remaining stick gradually rolled away in the cold wind, and the sound of "grunting" resounded through the silent night.

Yinghe looked at this strange-looking man vigilantly, and pretended not to be afraid of geology, "Who are you?" How did you get in? ”

"I want to ask who you are!" Ye Sheng approached them leisurely, squinted his eyes and looked up and down, and said very contemptuously, "It turned out to be two girls?" ”

Seeing that no one laughed at herself, Lingyi was still a sloppy man who was not much better than her, so she snorted and said, "Ugly monster, you should follow your own appearance first!" As soon as the words fell, her head was knocked on by Yinghe lightly, "Lingyi, don't be impulsive!" I think it's better to ask where he came from. ”

Suzuki nodded, her eyes turned around her, and then looked at the courtyard gate of Jingze Garden, and suddenly asked, "Are you waiting for the eldest lady?" ”

Ye Sheng raised his eyebrows and stared at her, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”

"If yes, you can help me bring this box in and give it to the eldest lady. If not...... Suzuki blinked and said arrogantly, "I'll go tell the housekeeper that the inner garden has entered the outer man!" There were seven threats in her words, one of which was that she was afraid of this gloomy Jingze Garden, and she did not dare to enter it, and when she happened to meet her, she wanted to hand over the errand to her, and second, she was afraid that the rewards would be divided, so she was impatient to go to the housekeeper's side.

"Oh, sir, is this a lot of kindness? After so many years, I finally thought that there was still a lady in his prime minister's house? Ye Sheng didn't like her, smiled and took the box in her hand, slowly opened the lid and looked at it, and saw that there were some exquisitely made dim sum meals inside, so he unceremoniously ridiculed.

When Suzui heard this, she was about to open her mouth to refute, but Yinghe secretly pinched her arm and stopped her.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Ye Sheng smiled uncertainly, and said: "Two sisters, if the villain's ears are not bad and I heard it correctly, didn't Xiangye ask this young lady to hand it over to Mrs. herself?" Why do you want to leave it alone? Since you've come here, why don't you go inside the house and have a cup of tea before leaving? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yinghe and Suzui both turned white. What they said on the road, could it be that this person listened to it? This is amazing, if it reaches the ears of the lord or the second lady, it will be sold to the house, or it will be beaten to death with a stick!

Yinghe patted Suzui's slightly trembling hand, comforted him a little, and then raised his eyes to look at him carefully. But seeing that this man was dressed plainly, his appearance was not outstanding, and his face was yellow and thin, and he looked like a servant who had not been nourished all year round. When Yiguo and the princess married the master, he also brought a few maids and daughters-in-law as dowries, and he was favored at that time, and those people naturally followed the chicken dog to heaven in the house, but they had never seen this person. He was not there when there were good days before, but now that life is not good, he has appeared by the side of the eldest lady instead. It's a little strange to think about, isn't it? But listening to his words, it is all about the maintenance of the eldest lady, and the resentment that the prime minister does not care about Jingze Garden all the year round should have something to do with the eldest lady. When I think about it, I don't have any doubts.

Yinghe frowned and said, "The affairs of Jingze Garden are not for the two of us to take care of. But there are rules in the Prime Minister's Mansion that no men are allowed to enter the inner garden where women live, and if Sister Suzuki and I tell the housekeeper about what we saw you today, I think you won't have a good time in the future. ”

Ye Sheng sneered, "Are you threatening me?" ”

"No, I just want to make a deal with Big Brother. Now we each have the handle of the other in our hands, so it is better to do this, if you don't say it, we won't say it. Didn't anything happen to us today? Yinghe calmed down for a moment and said consultatively, "Now that Jingzeyuan has slowly faded in the eyes of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the second lady has not started the life of the eldest lady in the past few years. But today's grandfather's meal has already made the second lady unhappy. Since you are the subordinate who serves the eldest lady, you don't want the eldest lady to be at peace from now on, right? ”

Ye Sheng smiled slightly and raised his eyes to look at her: "What you said has some truth. But I'm very curious, how can a woman as articulate as you, my sister, be willing to be a maid? ”

Yinghe was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt the man's gaze fixed on her, as if there was substance, and he peeled himself clean inside and out, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and hurriedly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I have been serving by the second lady's side for many years, and I have heard and seen a lot, so I naturally have heard and seen it." ”

Ye Sheng suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the maid who followed the second lady, so it's no wonder." She smiled lightly, and finally stopped making it difficult for them, turned around with the food box, and waved her hand at them, "Then I won't send the two sisters, today's incident should not have happened." ”

Suzui was happy in her heart, it would be better if he was willing to retreat, she didn't want to be sold! How can there be a prime minister's mansion outside, you can not only receive the moon silver, but also get a reward!

She happily took Yinghe's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, you are really smart, he dares to threaten us, and we can also threaten him!" Now he won't dare to talk about our secrets! ”

Yinghe nodded and smiled, and was dragged by her to slowly leave Jingzawa Garden. She glanced back at the dilapidated courtyard and thought to herself that the man was not easily compromised by her threats. There was no one in this place, and when he came out of the wall, he was obviously a person with a martial arts background, if he was really threatened, it would be easy to kill the two of them who were powerless in anger. But he didn't, why?

The cold wind poured into her collar, and she was suddenly frozen. The thoughts in my head were chaotic for a moment, so I had to shake my head and stop thinking about it.

Ye Sheng walked into Jingze Garden with a suitcase in a bright light, the heavy wooden door made a "creaking" sound, and at the same time, the dust was blowing like snowflakes. Ye Sheng flicked his sleeves and sent his palms, and suddenly the breeze swept away, sweeping out a clean path.

After entering, the entire Jingze Garden was still silent, and it didn't even matter if someone broke into the garden?

Ye Sheng raised his hand again, and the courtyard door behind him slammed shut.

Follow the only path and soon you will be in front of the main house. The sound of chanting in the room was incessant, and the people inside should have known that someone had come in, but they were still indifferent.

Ye Sheng stared at the food box in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little suffocated in his heart. I'm afraid that in six years, this is not only the first time that her husband has sent something, but also the first time that her son has visited her.

Obviously, in her previous life, she was just a robot, and she never experienced what family affection was; It was clear that she was not the true owner of this body; Obviously, there is no soul connection with the woman across this door. But at this moment, she suddenly felt something called sadness, which tightly grasped her five senses and filled her chest. It's full, almost overflowing. She was at a loss for what to do, and she didn't know whether she should open the door and look at the poor and pathetic woman.

"You ......"

Ye Sheng instantly restrained his emotions and turned his head to look at the person who spoke.

It was a scrawny old woman, who looked to be over sixty years old. With her back bent and her crutches, she walked step by step from the west wing.

Ye Sheng saluted her and said, "The slave is on the order of the prime minister to send snacks to Madame." ”

The old woman approached, coughed softly, and looked up at her. Ye Sheng realized that although she was old, her eyes were still shining, and when she looked at people, she seemed to be able to shine people's hearts.

Ye Sheng didn't move, let her see enough.

The old woman suddenly laughed, shook her head and said, "No, you weren't sent by Xiangye." ”

Ye Sheng was pierced by her, and he didn't panic, but nodded generously and admitted, "The old man has good eyesight, I am indeed not from this mansion." It's just that the road was chased and killed by the enemy, and he had to sneak into the prime minister's mansion to find a place to take refuge. Please don't make a noise for the elderly. ”

The old woman coughed again, turned around and walked towards the west chamber, "Come, follow me." She walked as she spoke, not looking back to see if anyone had followed. It seems that she can know that Ye Sheng will really listen to her without looking. But in fact, Ye Sheng did follow her.

Before leaving, she stared at the figure reflected in the lamplight of the main room for a long time before withdrawing it.

The old woman walked very slowly, and she delayed for a while, and caught up with her in a few steps.

She has no memory of this body before, so she doesn't know if this old woman is a girl who once married her mother. But looking at this age, even if he is a servant, he must be a servant with a high status and is very favored by the master.

The old woman walked to the door of her room, held the door frame with her hand, and coughed a few times in a low voice. But it was as if something was stuck in her throat, and she coughed so much that she was sweating on her forehead. Ye Sheng walked up to her, patted her back with his hand, and slapped the phlegm and saliva out of her throat with a force.

The old woman felt a little more relieved at this time, thanked her, and sighed while walking into the house with Ye Sheng: "People are old, it's really useless!" ”
