Chapter 270: Surrounded by wolves
"Go, you're everywhere!" Spoon scolded lightly, ignored it, and continued, "This third, just like Cheng Yiyi said, she is a standard young lady from a family, abiding by etiquette, and the rules are bigger than the sky. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven if her parents are not around, after all, she lives in her cousin's and cousin-in-law's house, not to mention that her cousin-in-law is still a prince who is only one level shorter than the emperor...... But what did she just say? Come to us every evening to learn the piano? Isn't that strange? Will there be a shortage of luthiers in the Lu Palace? Can she run out to find the master by herself? Do you need to come out every day when it's dark to learn the piano? Isn't that too weird? By that alone, I can be sure that she must have impure motives! ”
Cheng Yiyi pursed her lips and didn't care, "Spoon, it's not that I said you, it's that you are too rigid." As far as you have a lot of rules, I grew up outside since I was a child, and I often don't go home for several days, who said anything about me? What's wrong with coming out in the evening? Didn't people say it, they were afraid that they would come over during the day and disturb our master. ”
Spoon didn't bother to look at her, only stared at Wei Yan.
Wei Yan smiled lightly: "Our spoon has grown up!" In the future, when you are outside, I don't have to worry about you being bullied. With this vision and this mind, I will definitely be able to do something great in the future. Even being a lady in charge is more than enough. ”
Spoon stuck out her tongue embarrassedly: "Miss, you are too exaggerated, Spoon just has something in his heart that he can't let go, so he has to tell you to feel better." ”
"Yiyi," Wei Yan turned his head to look at Cheng Yiyi, who looked stunned, "You grew up in the market since you were a child, and then you wandered the rivers and lakes, free and unrestrained." You don't understand the shackles that put on the women of the family, and you are not to blame. You observe carefully, learn slowly, and with your ingenuity, you will one day be able to figure out the meaning of today's words. ”
Cheng Yiyi glanced at the spoon and was silent.
Wei Yan got up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, looked at the thick clouds in the sky, and said softly: "It's going to snow again......"
"Master, I've got a letter!" A young man's voice came from outside, Cheng Yiyi opened the door and let in a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, this is the first errand boy Wei Yan received by his side after entering Beijing, named Zhang Erli, who is clever and quiet, and has done a few things for Wei Yan, which is very appropriate.
"Where did it come from?"
"West. The small ones were intercepted outside the city. Zhang Erli did not squint, lowered his head and respectfully presented the letter scroll.
Wei Yan nodded and took the letter. Cheng Yiyi tilted her head, a little unsure of what he meant. It stands to reason that the carrier pigeons are not all flown outside the pigeon cage in the backyard of Qingyin Pavilion, and then presented to the master by dyed ink? Where did the letter come from, and how could Zhang Erli know? Had he seen it beforehand? The spoon on the other side showed a thoughtful expression.
Wei Yan took in the looks of the two maidservants, and was more and more pleased with the wisdom of the spoon. What Zhang Erli meant by this was that the letter was intercepted by him outside the city, that is, what was delivered to Wei Yan without dyeing ink was first-hand news. According to the direction in which the carrier pigeon flew and the state of the carrier pigeon, it can be determined that the approximate location of the person who wrote the letter should be from the secret stake she left with King Haiwen - Chen Qi.
Wei Yan nodded, didn't open the letter for the first time, but asked with concern: "Erli, what's wrong with your mother?" Do you need to send something over to your sister? ”
Zhang Erli bowed: "Thank you for your concern, my mother is much better, and I owe it to my master." My sister ...... Alas, it is difficult to take care of the long and poor, and it is not something that can be solved by giving her a few ingots of silver and a few stones of grain. Master, don't bother about this, if you want my gambler brother-in-law to go on the right path, if you don't let him suffer a few hard losses, he won't have a long memory! ”
Wei Yan said: "You are an understanding person. Although he is young, he can see things more clearly than many adults. I won't give you the silver this time, you go back to Elder Chen Si and say what I said, let him match you with four or five people to collect news for me in the market, and you will take them, I believe you! Don't want those who are older, just be like you, and it doesn't matter if you're younger. You pick it yourself, bring it yourself, you don't have to go back to me. ”
Zhang Erli's pupils widened, he pursed his mouth and gasped a few times, then he fell down and knelt down, "Master!" ”
Cheng Yiyi sneered: "Erli, are you stupid?" Why are you so excited? Isn't it just for you to bring a few errand boys? Do you need it? ”
Zhang Erli pursed his mouth and didn't say anything. A pair of eyes were filled with a layer of moisture, and he looked up at Wei Yan and did not say anything more.
Wei Yan said softly: "You are so good." Someone asked......"
"Don't worry, master." The simple four words did not say much, but made Wei Yan smile with satisfaction.
When he went out, Wei Yan walked to the window, unfolded the letter scroll by candlelight, and read it silently, a touch of coolness flashed in his eyes.
Spoon asked worriedly, "Miss, is there anything bad?" ”
Wei Yan looked back and smiled bitterly at her: "Spoon, my hunch is not wrong." It's not that I'm too careful. It's really him, and he has other thoughts! ”
"The master is talking about Annanhou? Is he distracted, sorry master? Cheng Yiyi blurted out without thinking about it, and when she saw Wei Yan and Spoon staring at her speechlessly, she knew that she had guessed wrong, so she couldn't help blushing and muttering, "The master always plays dumb riddles with others." Master, what the hell is going on? ”
Spoon immediately rushed out and said sharply, "Cheng Yiyi, after being in Beijing for a few months, have you ever carefully observed the form of Beijing?" Even if you can't learn the rules of the family, you always go to the teahouse in front of you, and the guys over there will ask the shopkeeper about the account? ”
"I didn't ask Miss about the account!" Cheng Yiyi crossed her waist confidently, "Besides, you are younger than me, why do you always like to teach me?" Who gives you the power? The master didn't speak, why did you ......?"
"You shouldn't ask about the things in the account, and you shouldn't ask about the young lady's secrets! You and I are both slaves, just as I am not qualified to teach you, and you are not qualified to ask the young lady about her private affairs! If Miss doesn't want us to know, we shouldn't talk too much! I don't even have this look, what are you doing with Miss? Is it just your three-legged cat kung fu to listen to the corner outside the young lady's door? ”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yiyi's face turned red in an instant, "You...... What nonsense are you talking about? Have I ever listened to a corner? ”
"Whether you have done it or not, you know it yourself!"
"That's it!" Wei Yan saw that the two of them were making a mess, so he stopped them by saying something, "It's all your own people, don't say these hurtful and angry words." Yiyi, you are older, what does the spoon say, don't take it to heart. ”
"Humph! If I had taken everything she said to heart, I was afraid that I would have been angry with her! With that, Cheng Yiyi slammed the door and left.
Spoon stomped her foot in annoyance: "Miss, you are still used to her!" You see, in front of you, she dares to throw her face and lose her temper! ”
"Spoon!" Wei Yan stopped her and said, "Come here, listen to me......"
"Yiyi is used to drifting on the rivers and lakes, in the past, in the Holy Palace, the people who dealt with her were martial arts people, and everyone didn't talk about those vulgar etiquette, so the rules can't be compared with you, don't pick on her. You are a smart child, look slowly with your eyes. Wei Yan persuaded a few words, and then sighed weakly, "Now I don't have many people at my disposal, and most of the Holy Palace forces in the capital are in the hands of dyeing ink." Elder Chen Qi was impartial to me and dyed the ink......"
Spoon raised her eyes suddenly, her eyes full of horror, "What Miss just said, people with ulterior motives, do you mean the predecessor of dyeing ink?" (To be continued.) )
