That night, everyone got together for dinner, and Zhu Yan entered the deep lobby alone.

Her and Dou An's rooms were on the second floor, and they had to walk through this lobby to find the stairs.

However, although it is a lobby, it has never been used as a living room, and it is only full of farm tools and stored grains and vegetables, exuding a slightly sour smell of grass.

But that's not the point, there is a long case as an offering table by the window at the innermost point in the lobby, and the tablets of Wang Ximing's wife and eldest son are offered on it.

In addition, the three small plates on the table were respectively for crumpled apples, hard cakes with small cypress branches, and a small piece of dried roast meat, and two embroidered copper candlesticks on the side, I don't know what kind of lamp oil was burning, and the green forest was dull, like two ill-intentioned eyes, staring at the people who passed by the hall at night.

It was precisely because of the fear that Dou An was frightened, Zhu Yan let him drink some medicinal porridge early, and sent him upstairs to review the prescription book while it was still dark, saying that he would come for a spot check in a while.

When passing through the lobby, it was already dark, and Zhu Yan involuntarily glanced sideways at the two lampstands, the green lights reflected the tributes and tablets, swaying gloomily.

Feeling cold for no reason, Zhu Yan tightened his shirt and walked quickly through the lobby, just as he was about to go upstairs, heavy footsteps sounded under the stairs.

Zhu Yan turned around calmly, between the lobby and the stairs, it was Xu Suzhen and Wang Ximing's house, Xu Suzhen was still cleaning up the stove room, Wang Ximing was on duty tonight, so most of the people who appeared here were Wang Yong?

The shadow below turned, revealing a tall figure, one behind his back, the other hanging down, not knowing what to hold.

"Yo, what a coincidence, how is my cousin?" He bowed slightly, and his face couldn't be seen clearly in the shadows, but his tone was a little frivolous, with a hint of lightness.

"I heard that the second cousin and Brother Liu don't know each other, so I just went out to drink, if I feel hungry after a while, there are still a few mung bean cakes in the stove." Zhu Yan silently moved a few steps up the steps, after all, he removed his jaw in the morning, and such a ruthless character could not guarantee that he would not hold a grudge.

Wang Yong leaned closer, the small wax on the stairs illuminated his outline, Zhu Yan looked at it, and involuntarily looked at the long thing he was holding in his hand.

"Cousin wants to see this?" Seeing her eyes narrowing slightly, Wang Yong stretched out his hand and smiled ill-willedly.

Zhu Yan only saw clearly at this time that what he was holding in his hand was a snake molt, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, generously took the snake molt from his hand, and winked mischievously, "The second cousin must have known that I was diagnosing people recently, so he sent me medicinal herbs, cousin thank you here." ”

Wang Yong saw that she really took the snake in her hand without fear, her face suddenly became ugly, and she disappeared without a hint of a smirk, and coughed embarrassedly, "Sort of, this is what I found in the lobby...... Cousin is really not afraid? ”

I have the impression that this is obviously a sick girl, who shrinks in her room on weekdays, and is silent when she sees herself, how did she become like this now? Not to mention being able to remove his mandible, he is not even afraid to see this kind of thing, this is still a woman?

"It's just a snakeskin, what's so scary?" Zhu Yan blinked his eyes again, and the shadow of the dim lamp unfolded the snake, about a meter long, cylindrical, slightly flattened, but it was still complete, "Well, the scales on the back are diamond-shaped, silver-gray...... The snake's belly is milky white, and the scales are rectangular, like tiles......"

Zhu Yan happened to see the snake molt column on the medicine book a few days ago, and he didn't care that Wang Yong was still there, so he started to compare, "Indeed, it is light, tough, slippery, and elastic, it doesn't seem bad at all." ”

The slender plain white fingers rubbed, and the snake in his hand rustled, which looked a little weird in the night atmosphere.

Wang Yongzheng saw goosebumps all over his body, and suddenly saw her head down, so he sniffed lightly in his hand, and felt even tighter in his heart, the woman in front of him was simply not a person, and the difficult thoughts just now had already been swept away, and he just wanted to finish the business quickly and withdraw as much as possible.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Yan removed his hand, and Meimu looked at him and chuckled, "The smell is slightly fishy and salty, it is indeed a good snake molt, Zhu Yan has to thank my cousin again." ”

Wang Yong looked at her silently, his eyebrows twitched involuntarily, it seemed that he was going to lose miserably this time.

"Cousin, is there anything else? If not, Zhu Yan went up...... Oh, and my cousin rested early, too. Zhu Yan still smiled softly, and turned around to step up the steps.

"Cousin, slow down." Wang Yong followed the steps, bowed slightly, and smiled on the side, "Isn't there another thing here......

Zhu Yan looked at him sideways and smiled, "Go up and talk about it." ”

Their rooms were all upstairs, and there was a place for Dou An arranged by Zhu Yan in the middle, and they talked all the way.

Wang Yong's character is not very good, but his speech is clear and concise, and Zhu Yan understands what he means in a few words.

He drank heavily and made trouble in the army, and injured someone, but that person still had a chronic illness, and he happened to die of illness, although this was not Wang Yong's fault, but most of them could not die well. It's just that the one who recommended him at the beginning was the son of the general of the previous dynasty, that is, Zhu Yan's second uncle, and it was not easy to treat him in the army, and the Xu family advanced some money, so they turned a blind eye and sent him back.

Now that he has returned to his hometown, he is naturally difficult to change his nature, and he still wants to drink and gamble for money, so he went out to drink with Liu Zixin, just asked about the situation at home, and learned that the big money is now in Zhu Yan's hands, so he thought of her coming here to "borrow" some money to go out to have fun, not wanting Zhu Yan to be so strong and calm, but his previous plans were all in vain.

Zhu Yan understood, and smiled in a low voice, "Since Brother Liu sued you, now that I have earned a lot of money, I should sue you, I am about to use money these days, how can I still have spare money to borrow from my cousin?" ”

"Well...... this Wang Yong secretly clenched his fist, he couldn't make a plan, so he had to change another plan, his hand was relaxed, and a thin piece of paper moved behind him, "Hehe, Brother Liu also said, cousin and those friends of yours are just borrowing from our house, I don't know this in my hand, cousin is interested in buying it?" ”

Zhu Yan took it, and the light in the house flickered, the thin piece of paper was a little yellowed, and a few words were written on it with a red pen, which was a title deed, and his hand trembled slightly, but fortunately, the wind blew the title deed at night, and Wang Yong did not notice it.

"What does that mean?" Zhu Yan shook his head and looked at Wang Yong with a smile.

Wang Yong saw her asking out loud, and decided that there was a way to do this, so he got closer and closer, and lowered his voice.
