Chapter 230: Night Exploration of Zhao's Mansion
The silver-masked young owner, after coming out of the leather shop, sent his attendants to ride his black horse, and ran through the streets of the capital. His direction was not anywhere else, it was the mansion where the Zhao family, the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, was located.
Stopping the horses in a small alley, the silver-masked young owner somehow got a black cloak, draped it over his body, and disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs. Even if there are people who are patrolling the night or beating the watch at this time, they can only hear the faint sound of the wind, and if they want to see people, they can't.
At this time, the Xixiangyuan, the embroidery floor on the second floor was brightly lit, Huiya accompanied her father and brother to finish eating, and at this time, she was standing in front of the desk to practice calligraphy according to the daily routine.
The autumn wind slowly blew in through the window, making Huiya's dress gently sway, she held her breath and stared like a torch, not noticing that a black figure was quietly approaching in the night.
In the night, there are dotted lights in all courtyards of Zhao Mansion, but in the eyes of the young proprietor who visited Zhao Mansion at night, there is no place where the lights are brighter than those in the two-story building.
The young owner's night visit to Zhao's Mansion was a temporary idea, and he didn't have a map of Zhao's Mansion in his hand, so he naturally didn't know where the second room of Zhao's Mansion was. I simply chose the brightest and best place to explore first, and then I had a familiar place to stay when I explored at night.
The young owner thought so, and between a few ups and downs, he avoided the guards in the mansion, and he had already landed on the courtyard wall of Xixiangyuan. Standing where he was, he could just see Huiya practicing calligraphy at the desk, and the girl's slender figure looked even thinner and more touching under the candlelight.
"There are people." Shao Dongjia frowned slightly, looking at the girl standing alone in front of the window, he felt that this person was very familiar, as if he was familiar. Thinking so, as soon as Shaodong's feet were forced, he had already flown and landed on the observation deck outside the embroidery building.
"Alas. It's bad again! As soon as Hui Ya thought of going to the martial arts arena tomorrow morning to practice archery, she felt that her heart hurt terribly, and she was upset and irritable, and she had practiced plum blossom seal characters well. It turned out to be a mistake three times and twice, and one good piece of rice paper was broken.
"Good thing no one is here!" Huiya muttered in annoyance, couldn't help but rub her chest, and sighed fiercely at the thought of the bruise that had been broken out of the bowstring. "I don't know when the leather armor will be ready. If it takes ten days and half a month, how can I practice archery! ”
The young owner saw that there was only Huiya in this brightly lit room, and when the little girl was still rubbing her chest with her hands, she felt that her face was slightly hot, and she turned around and wanted to retreat. was nailed to the spot again by Hui Ya's last sentence.
"Is this little girl, the leather armor you want to make? What the hell is it for!" The young owner stood stiffly in place, and said secretly in his heart.
Thinking back to the scene he saw just now, Shaodong's lips unconsciously brought a smile, this world is really small. Unexpectedly, when I visited the Zhao Mansion at night, I saw the little girl who knocked away the five points of the roast duck shop from her hand.
The smile on the face of the young owner became even bigger when he thought that it was this little fox-like little girl, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and he always felt that he had seen her somewhere else, but he couldn't remember anything.
Thinking of Huiya's little fox's cleverness, the young owner didn't dare to be careless, and secretly speculated in his heart about Huiya's intentions, and sent such a picture of the armor he urgently needed at such a critical time, which was a coincidence. Or is it a conspiracy, it's really hard to say.
Shaodong wanted to look back, but thinking of Huiya's chest rubbing just now, he stiffened his body and didn't dare to move. This young owner climbed on top of the embroidery building. Although his breath was not chaotic, and he could not see the blush even with the silver mask, the roots of his ears were already red.
"Forget it, let's get by, it's a big deal to go to the martial arts arena tomorrow to practice archery, I'll just pay more attention to it. I hope I won't break the xiaolongbao. Huiya didn't know that there was a young man standing outside her boudoir, muttered to herself, gently rubbed the xiaolongbao on her chest, put down the brush, and went into the room.
And the young owner hanging outside the window, only felt that his heart was burning, and he didn't know what to do, he had always turned fast, full of deceitful heads, but at this time he was foggy, and all he thought about was a steamed white and soft xiaolongbao.
"I don't know if the weather will be good or bad tomorrow, if it rains." Just when the young owner breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go downstairs to investigate, Huiya went and returned, not to the desk in front of the window, but to open the door to the outside to take a look on the terrace.
At the moment when Huiya pushed the door open, the body of the young owner moved quickly before his brain, and a harrier turned over and rushed out of the terrace on the second floor, hooked his feet, and hung himself on the beam wood between the first and second floors of the embroidery building.
Hui Ya only felt that the wind outside was a little strong, and looked up at the sky, a little gloomy, maybe there was a possibility of rain, so she was a little happy, walking around the terrace to expand her chest and kick, wishing that it would rain heavily tomorrow, and she didn't have to practice.
When Hui Ya was walking around in a good mood, the poor young owner hung on the embroidery building, while maintaining his body balance, he also had to pay attention to the crowd of people, for fear of accidentally revealing his whereabouts.
Hui Ya walked on the terrace for a full two quarters of an hour, and the young proprietor hung in the air for two quarters of an hour, until Hui Ya walked bored and entered the house, and the young proprietor breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know if it's bad luck or what, when the young owner sighed and was about to leave, a loud noise suddenly came from inside Huiya's house. Taken aback, although the young owner was relieved of his strength, he didn't lift his anger, and barely went forward two feet away before falling to the ground, and his face was extremely embarrassed.
I didn't care about tidying up my appearance, and I didn't care if anyone behind me found out, the young owner rushed out of Xixiangyuan with red ears and embarrassed, and accidentally alarmed the Zhao Mansion's nursing home, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of it. By the time he returned home with all the hard work and breathed a sigh of relief, it was already the third watch.
Huiya, who was explored at night, was unaware, and watched the maids clean up the basin that they accidentally kicked over, and Huiya slept peacefully.
The weather was fine the next day, but her grandfather informed Huiya that she would not let her go to the martial arts arena, which was exactly what Huiya wanted, and made her very happy. The reason why he didn't go to the martial arts arena was that someone broke into Zhao's mansion at night the day before, and he was afraid that the thief was still in the mansion, so he had to ensure the safety of the ladies in the mansion.
