CHAPTER XXIII

"Be careful, don't get it wrong."

"Oh, you can't leave this thing in there to get wet!"

"You, wait! This is the master's favorite, if you break it, the lives of your whole family together will not be enough to compensate! ”

Meng Gaopeng sat under the porch and knocked melon seeds, and a beautiful little girl next to him was making tea for him. The more he looked at the woman in the courtyard with duck egg yolk embroidered with osmanthus skirt, the tighter his brows became, and finally he couldn't help it, threw a handful of melon seeds out, and said impatiently: "Mother! When did the government get down enough for you to come and ask about these little things for yourself? ”

Aunt Mei was looking at the boxes of things and was secretly happy, and she was not angry when she heard her son talk like this, so she turned around and shook her handkerchief and wiped the sweat that was not stored at all and said: "I don't think about it all for you, these things have entered your yard, in case something goes wrong, how can you explain to your father." ”

"Then why does the old lady have to get things in my yard?" Meng Gaopeng said with a dissatisfied face, in his impression, only silver and gold are good things, and it is too troublesome to sell those tattered antique silk silks.

"You stupid boy!" Aunt Mei walked up and sat down beside her son, her eyebrows stood up, and the little girl who made tea hurriedly lowered her head and ran.

Meng Gaopeng stared at the little girl's buttocks regretfully and pouted.

"Think about it, you're the only man in this family!" Aunt Mei patted her son, and said with a smug smile: "The old lady is worried that she may not be able to hook up which fox spirit will be put in the master's place, and there will be one less one tomorrow, and she will wait until her private vault is re-placed and then carry it back, I am afraid that there will only be a thin layer left." But you are different, you are not old and have no daughter-in-law, you have always been the heart and soul of the old lady, this thing is carried out and placed in your yard, no matter how she stares, it must be indispensable. ”

"No, our yard is connected." Meng Gaopeng grimaced.

"Okay, you don't want a new pair of clubs, Chang Jingzhai's ......," Aunt Mei leaned over, her thin light pink lips and said softly.

Meng Gaopeng immediately sat up straight, stared at his small eyes and said, "What my mother said is true!" That's a hundred taels of silver. ”

Aunt Mei stretched out her hand and pinched her son's fat cheeks, and said in a good mood: "Naturally, it's true, but you also have to make a good appearance in front of the old lady, so many things are placed here for you, and you have to carefully let people look at them." ”

"Mother, these things are placed in my yard, and anyone dares to steal them?" Meng Gaopeng picked up the teacup, his eyes revealing danger.

Aunt Mei tugged at the corners of her mouth, and also picked up the teacup as if she said casually: "This is not accurate, after all, you are a concubine, what if someone can't see it?" ”

"It's all mine!" Meng Gaopeng's eyes were red, and he jumped up and said angrily: "It's just a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and you still want to use two money-losing goods to worry about me?" Think beautifully! If she dares to do evil, I must kill her!"

"Alright, alright, I'm just talking." Aunt Mei wiped her lips with a handkerchief and said dotingly: "Who can come and rob my son's things?" Not to mention being a mother, even the old lady is the first to not agree! ”

Meng Gaopeng was coaxed, reached out and took the snack plate and ate it.

Aunt Mei touched her son's hair, no matter how she looked at it, everything in this family must belong to her son, even if there are any little mongrels in the future, she will not give up this family business to others.

Thinking that the old man was resting in the study recently, Aunt Mei felt that there were ghosts here, and remembered that it was rumored that the old men in Kyoto liked to give concubines to each other in private, and her heart was even more ruthless, she gritted her teeth and glanced at the old lady not far away.

The old lady was very inconspicuous, and she leaned down and quietly retreated.

In the backyard, he hurriedly sorted out his things, and the second master Meng also took some filial piety from the private treasury in front of him, and it seemed that all the people in the second room were busy, only the main room was here, and it was very out of place in quiet.

Mrs. Guan never cared about these external objects, the eldest girl went to the old lady's yard early to flatter and only think that she could pick up some cheap ones, as for Acacia, she was like being isolated from the world, and she didn't even move around the big house recently.

It seems that the first qiē of the second room is no different from usual.

The clouds of fire rolled up the sky, and it seemed to be somewhat similar to a certain day in Acacia's memory, so that she stood by the window for a long time until it was pitch black outside.

Pomegranate waited for her to come back to her senses before she stepped forward and said, "Girl, it's all ready." ”

"I can't hide it from Mama." Acacia turned his head sideways, blinked seemingly naughtily, and said, "Have you thought about it?" ”

The corners of Pomegranate's mouth twitched, and she said with a wooden face: "It's all up to the girl's orders." ”

"That'...... Let's rest early. Acacia suppressed the excitement in her heart, turned around and walked into the inner room, and recuperated early to watch a good show at night.

In the middle of the night, in addition to the vigil room in the courtyard of the second room, only a few hanging lanterns were still on, most of the people seemed to be asleep, and time seemed to be frozen in the night, but in those invisible gloom, there was always something about to move.

Acacia turned over lazily, her sleep has always been shallow, and sometimes it is not easy to fall asleep again when she wakes up in the middle of the night, so the servants in her room rarely get too close, for fear that a girl will not be able to sleep peacefully if she accidentally makes another noise.

Maybe she had something in her heart, Acacia only slept for a while and couldn't lie down, she forced herself to close her eyes, but turned off her vision to make her hearing more and more sensitive, and the faint sound of breathing in the dark night could be heard clearly.

Suddenly, Acacia opened her eyes suddenly, and just as she was about to shout, someone put a cold dagger around her neck.

"Blame you for your bad life, I'm sorry." The deliberately lowered voice sounded in Acacia's ears, but the body that was close to each other made Acacia feel sensitively that it was not a tall man holding her hostage with a dagger, but like a teenager or simply a woman.

"Don't use your brains!"

The dagger pressed forward, and Acacia bit her lip.

"Come with me!"

Wrapped in a thick cloak, Acacia was carried by the man in his arms and flew out of the window of the house, followed by the roof, almost as if chasing the wind, the man took Acacia to an extremely inconspicuous abandoned house in the backyard without a pause.

Acacia felt that this person's kung fu was very high, and it was impossible for anyone to find them along the way.

"Stay and don't run around, or I'll kill you!" When the man had said this, he flew up to the beam of the house and disappeared.

Acacia wrapped in that thick cloak and didn't feel too cold, but this place was too shabby, and it looked a little infiltrating. She thought about what she had said and done during this time, except for pit Meng Guizhi, she shouldn't have offended anyone, could it be that Aunt Mei wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sell her to Meng Guizhi to take revenge?

It's not impossible, but with her way, can she really find such a good kidnapper?

Since she couldn't walk, and Acacia didn't bother to spend her throat, she calmly walked under the eaves and casually found a step to sit down. If she wants to escape at this time, she may not know from which angle the dagger will pierce into her heart, and she will easily live a lifetime before she dies at this time, so it is better to endure it and find a chance later.

Time passed slowly, Acacia legs were numb, people were sleepy, the whole person shrunk in the cloak and was groggy, almost not sleeping.

At this time, there was finally the sound of footsteps outside.

Acacia stood up, turned around and hid behind the waste door next to him.

The courtyard door was rudely opened from the outside, and several people came in, carrying a box of things, a total of several boxes, and then they were placed in the corner of the courtyard at random.

Acacia hid in the shadows, listening to these people coming and going, walking and coming back, and moving in many boxes from outside one after another.

After waiting for these people to walk for a while, Acacia sneaked out, and she didn't care whether the person who kidnapped her in the dark was still there, so she opened a smaller box, and put some silk silk and a small box in the box.

After hesitating for a moment, Acacia still opened the small box, and there was a slightly old head face in the box, but it made her look very familiar, this should be a pair of heads given to the old lady by her mother Guan Shi back then, the relationship between the two is average, and Guan is not a person who can please people, so this head face made both sides very unable to get off the stage at that time, and the old lady naturally did not take it out to wear.

turned around and opened a few boxes casually, except for the locked, the rest of the things in it were more or less lovesick, including the old lady's, Meng Gaopeng's, and even some of Aunt Mei's private rooms.

Standing in the dark courtyard, Acacia showed a grim smile, sure enough, she didn't make a mistake in her life, but it's a pity......

"I'll just say unimpeded, you're afraid of a bird!"

The door rang again, and Acacia quickly hid back and quietly looked outside.

"Okay, everything is done, hurry up and get out of the back door, you can't let anyone find out." A group of people swarmed in, and put a few boxes on the ground, and it seems that Meng Gaopeng's private warehouse has been emptied.

"Hurry up and get someone to pull the car."

Acacia listened to someone say, and only sighed in his heart that these people were really blatant.

After a while, there was another knock on the door, and Acacia listened to the strange question from the people in the courtyard, "Why is there already a box on the car?" ”

The people outside didn't know what they said, and a group of people began to load the car, because there were already two boxes on the car, so the space that was still rich was immediately filled, and the group of people scolded and pushed the car and wanted to go out.

When Acacia was wondering why the person who kidnapped her before didn't show up, she heard a scream outside, and then the swords collided and shouted to kill, and there was a fight.

Acacia blinked and squatted on the ground, is this going to be black and black?
