Chapter 255: Late Night Wandering
After that, Liu Yan'er took Zhuang Silian into the upper room, and Biting stood at the door of the upper room, staring at Yu Xiangxiang who was looking into the upper room with cold eyes.
Yu Xiangxiang came to Xiao Xia's room, opened the door and asked, "Hey, when did the relationship between the second young grandmother and Miss Liu become so good?" How did I not know? Do you know? ”
Natsu shook her head.
"Look at their mysterious appearance, and I don't know what to do? By the way, the second young master is still in the upper room, right? ”
Xiao Xia thought about it, Li Taiming was hit by Liu Yan'er's incense, and he was so heavily drugged that he was afraid that he wouldn't wake up for a while.
It's just that if Hou Ye Li Guoshun brings people to the backyard, it will not be easy for them to do it.
Xiao Xia suddenly remembered the strange old woman with gray hair, what did she say by squirming her lips a few times? Natsu lowered her eyebrows and tried to repeat the shape of her lips to figure out what she meant.
Yu Xiangxiang leaned on the window and peeked at the door of the upper room, but every time she stretched out her head, the Birou at the door of the upper room would stare at him with cold warning eyes, although Yu Xiangxiang was not afraid, but the eyes of the Birou girl were so scary that she had to retract her head and mutter: "What are you staring at?" I don't owe you anything? ”
About a quarter of an hour later, someone seemed to be talking outside the courtyard, Xiao Xia's room was close to the courtyard door, and she clearly heard the familiar voice: "Master Hou, what is this courtyard for?" It looks chic! ”
"Oh, this is where the second son Taiming's concubine lives, it's just an ordinary small courtyard, nothing special, General Liang, there are a few rockeries in the lake in front, how about we go over and take a look?"
"There is Hou Ye Lao to lead the way!"
"Please!"
The voices of the two men drifted apart. Xiao Xia looked at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, and before she knew it, she walked out of the door and stood at the gate of the courtyard, stretching out her hand to open the door to see.
"Stop. What are you doing? The master has orders not to open the door casually! Birou jumped out of nowhere, brushed off Xiao Xia's hand and stopped in front of the courtyard gate, glaring at Xiao Xia with an unkind face.
"Oh, if you don't open it, you won't open it! What are you doing with such a brother? Qiu'er, let's go, let's go into the house! Yu Xiangxiang glared back and pulled Xiao Xia away.
"Hey, what's the matter with you girl? Just now, he rushed out like a demon. I told you that you shouldn't, what do you want to do? ”
Xiao Xia looked at her in surprise, what? Did I just do that? I...... I just wanted to go see him. Just a glance, even a back, just want to make sure he's okay.
"Don't be like this in the future, I think that Birou seems to be a practitioner. Be careful. Beware of her slapping you and killing you! ”
Yu Xiangxiang and Liu Yan'er were locked in the upper room for about an hour before coming out, and this time, Li Taiming came out with them. The two of them leaned on him with one arm and whispered softly, Li Taiming mentioned how useful he was, and his face turned red with joy!
Liu Yan'er poked his chest and said, "Second Young Master, don't forget what you promised your concubine!" ”
Zhuang Silian said angrily: "Husband, can you spoil your sister alone, the concubine has done everything for you!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Both of you are my good souls, and your wives and concubines are harmonious. What a good thing this is, I Li Taiming can get a good wife and beautiful concubine like you in this life, it is a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes, rest assured, I will not fail you! ”
Zhuang Silian and Liu Yan'er glanced at each other secretly, and Liu Yan'er hung on Li Taiming's body weakly and bonelessly: "That Taiming...... My sister and I are waiting for your good news? ”
"No problem, my father offered that General Liang as an ancestor, don't you want him to accompany him? I'll tell the general about my horse farm later, and he wants to go to the horse farm to have a look, can my father accompany him? ”
"Really? That's great! Don't forget, Taimyeong, don't go, we have business to do! Liu Yan'er threw a wink at her, Li Taiming's body was crispy, and he said yes again and again.
Seeing these people go out of the courtyard gate, Birou also walked out, and Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang came out of the house.
Yu Xiangxiang said: "Which one is this?" ”
Xiao Xia shook his head, hearing that they meant that they wanted to take Hou Ye away tomorrow? Mrs. Tian is still sick, and without Hou Ye at home, even if Tian is not sick, it is easy to deal with, have they already figured out a way to unlock the mechanism?
No, no, I have to get something in front of them, Xiao Xia turned around and went back to the house, Yu Xiangxiang didn't react yet, and when she followed, she found that Xiao Xia had locked the door, and no one answered him even knocking several times.
Liu Yan'er came in from outside the courtyard, stopped and asked, "Xiang'er, what are you doing?" ”
"It's nothing, Miss Liu, the slave maid asked Qiu'er to come out and get dinner together."
Yu Xiangxiang paused slightly: "You go alone, ask Qiu'er to come to the room, I have something to tell her." ”
Liu Yan'er hurriedly entered the upper room, still not forgetting to close the door.
Yu Xiangxiang stood at the door of Xiaoxia for a while, muttered something to the door of the upper room, and then knocked on the door: "Qiu'er, Miss Liu told you to go to the upper room, I'll go get dinner!" Do you hear that? You've got a reply! …… Oops, I see I'm confused, I forgot that you can't speak, you remember to go, I'm out! ”
Yu Xiangxiang muttered as she walked towards the gate of the courtyard, and Xiao Xia in the house was packing up her things, and she also heard Liu Yan'er's words, as for why she was packing her things, she had to be ready to leave the Hou Mansion at any time.
After coming to the Hou Mansion, she didn't buy anything, and there were not many things that could be packed, so she checked several times to make sure that all the things she had with her were put away.
Then she came to the upper room with her clothes full, and Liu Yan'er quickly responded: "The door is not latched, you can come in by yourself!" ”
When Xiao Xia entered the inner room, he was surprised to find that Liu Yan'er was also packing up his things, and there were some things on the table that he had never seen before, not to mention the medicine package, as well as software hidden weapons, etc., neatly arranged.
Xiao Xia was quite surprised, did she carry so many weapons with her? Where are you hiding? How have you never seen it?
Liu Yan'er glanced back at her, put down her work for the time being, and took out a few things from behind the dresser and put them on the table: "This is five hundred taels of silver tickets, which can be exchanged nationwide." As long as there is a rich bank, you can take it, and go back to pack your things. Ming'er left the Hou Mansion early in the morning, left Jiangzhou, walked far away, and did not come back in the last year or two. ”
Xiao Xia was stunned, looked up at her inquiringly, and Liu Yan'er said seriously: "I'm not joking, I, Liu Yan'er, have always had clear grievances in doing things." After all, you have done a lot for me by fighting with me, and I can't treat you badly.
The whereabouts of what I'm looking for are already there. I will get it soon, and I will leave Jiangzhou as soon as the things are in hand, if you don't go, sooner or later I will be implicated. Take it. It's not much, but it's enough to save a little money for a year or two.
Later...... If you get to the capital, you can find a way to come to me in the East Palace Teaching Workshop. ”
Liu Yan'er stuffed the silver ticket into Xiao Xia's hand, patted Xiao Xia on the shoulder with emotion, and then turned back to pack her things.
Xiao Xia looked at the silver ticket, and then looked at Liu Yan'er, she couldn't say anything in her heart, she had been calculating how to stun her and grab things before. But she thinks about herself everywhere.
Xiao Xia knew that she had always been wary of Liu Yan'er, but she didn't expect Liu Yan'er to treat her like this. This made her feel a little guilty, a little guilty, and at the same time very entangled.
Liu Yan'er cleaned up for a while and looked back at her: "Why haven't you left yet?" Is there something wrong? ”
Xiao Xia looked at her with a speechless appearance, Liu Yan'er stopped and smiled: "Are you worried about me?" Don't worry, I'm different from you, I know how to protect myself, even if I don't succeed this time, I have a way to get out, you take care of yourself! Go ahead! ”
Xiao Xia hesitated slightly, turned around and left the room slowly.
"Wait a minute, the silver ticket is ready! Although it's not the gold and silver mountains I promised before, it's better to take it first! When I get something this time, your sister and I will be able to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and I'll give it to me later, ah! "Willow
Yan'er stuffed the silver ticket into her hand, and pinched her face, the action was very intimate, Xiao Xia looked at her in a daze, and the entanglement in her heart increased a little more.
Tonight's Hou Mansion is unusually lively, Hou Ye Li Guoshun held a feast to welcome the distinguished guests, invited the number of people in Jiangzhou to drink and have fun, and invited the famous dancing girl singer in Jiangzhou to accompany the wine.
Fortunately, the banquet was held in the front yard, and the backyard was a little deserted because Mrs. Tian was sick, and the second young grandmother hated to be noisy.
Liu Yan'er fell asleep early after dinner because of her injury, Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang also slept early, looking at the bright moon outside the window, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo in the front yard, Xiao Xia couldn't fall asleep over and over.
After tossing for a long time, she simply got up, put on her clothes and sat under the window.
The breeze blew, blowing her hair, she naturally swept her hair, and suddenly found that something seemed to be flashing in the corner of her eye, she turned her head to take a closer look, and the position of the thing seemed to be in the direction of the courtyard gate, but there was nothing under a closer look!
Am I dazzled? She thought about it.
It's another gust of wind, and it seems to be a little cold tonight, so let's go to bed early!
She stood up and closed the window, and glanced out by the way, which frightened her to the point of stiffness, and she looked at the courtyard door in a daze and did not dare to move.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again, yes, she was really there.
I saw that under the soft moonlight, a woman with a wrinkled face stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at herself, her eyes were particularly bright at this time, staring at herself like a pair of lanterns, so frightened that she was at a loss and didn't know what to do?
The old woman slowly raised her hand and hooked her fingers, motioning for Xiao Xia to follow her, and then she turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.
I don't know how long the old woman has been gone, Xiao Xia finally came back to her senses, is it an illusion? No, there is still a gap in the courtyard gate, so how can the old woman appear here? What did she tell herself to do? The essential...... Should I go?
It stands to reason that the mother-in-law has an unknown origin and strange actions, Xiao Xia should not have go, but she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and unconsciously followed out the door.
She came out of Liu Yan'er's yard, turned her head to look around, and saw the old woman standing at the edge of the grove waiting for her, Xiao Xia hesitated to walk towards her, and seeing that she was about to approach, she walked deeper into the woods again.
Xiao Xia's heart was beating hard, she instinctively stepped on the mother-in-law's footsteps, listening to her fierce heartbeat, and followed behind the mother-in-law nervously and excitedly, she didn't know where she was going? I don't know why I want to follow her, I only know one thing, she should follow her mother-in-law.
It's also strange to say, when I used to walk in this Hou Mansion, I could always meet many people, no matter day or night, even late at night, there were patrolling families walking around, but I didn't meet anything with this woman, a person was gone, obviously walking the same road, obviously on the surface it seemed to be as usual, why?
Before she could figure out the reason, her mother-in-law stopped and looked back at her, and Xiao Xia immediately came back to her senses and found that her current location was really the gate of the courtyard called Yanliuyuan where she once lived!
Oh my God, how did you get here? Obviously, I didn't walk for a while, and it shouldn't be in this direction.
The mother-in-law pushed the door in and hooked her hand, as if to ask Xiao Xia to follow, Xiao Xia was nervous, and after thinking about it, she had already arrived here, so she might as well go in and take a look.
She hesitated to enter the yard again and found that the woman had already walked to the door of the upper room and was really about to push the door in, Xiao Xia was nervous for a while, and suddenly blurted out: "Don't move, it's dangerous!" ”
The mother-in-law looked back at her and smiled, she said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, come in with me!" Come in and you'll get what you want! ”
Xiao Xia was shocked, not only because he saw his mother-in-law enter the upper room unscathed, but also because of his own words.
Did I speak? No way? I...... I can't speak, can I?
She looked at her hands incredulously, and then touched her neck, but she still couldn't feel the storage of her vocal cords, and she didn't respond when she tried to pronounce it? Is it because I'm too nervous and delusional?
She secretly pinched the cold sweat, built her heart, gritted her teeth and walked towards the door of the upper room.
When she came to the door, she hesitated a little, but pushed the door and walked in.
There is a black hole in the house, and I can't see anything clearly, so I should bring an oil lamp or a candle, or go get it now?
She was about to turn around when there was a click on the door behind her, which should have been the sound of the door being shut, and after a moment of darkness, a soft fire suddenly appeared in front of her, like a match that had just been lit.
The soft light spread rapidly, getting brighter and brighter, until it illuminated the whole room, Xiao Xia covered his eyes to adapt for a while, and when he opened his eyes and looked again, he saw a delicate white jade bed in the middle of the room, and a young man with a handsome face on the bed.
He was richly dressed, his eyes were closed, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and the skin on his face was white and red, like a porcelain doll asleep.
And the white-haired old woman who brought herself here knelt beside the jade bed, but the old hand that was as thin as dry wood gently stroked the face of the man on the jade bed, and her eyes were full of tenderness and caressing, as if it was her lover!
Xiao Xia looked at them in a daze, and silently walked towards the jade bed.
The mother-in-law's voice was still hoarse but gentle as water: "Tai'an, let you wait for a long time, we will be together forever!" (To be continued.) )
