1227, cloudy
- It will be much easier to set up the right ambush in your mind and then observe the minds of others.
So this time, without waiting for Xiaohua to refuse to speak, Yang Chen said slowly as if talking to himself: "Young Master Ruan has some things to do in the Ye Mansion, and there may be some trouble, but this trouble is from the Ye Mansion, and it has nothing to do with Young Master Ruan himself. β
It was only at this time that Xiaohua finally refused to speak, and only said two words: "Really? β
"Even if you think I'm lying to you, then I can't find a second one." Yang Chen looked at Xiaohua, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: Could it be that this little flower girl has fallen in love with the Song family's Ruan Gongzi? But didn't Ruan Luo say that he had been in the outer county before? He had only lived in the Song Mansion for a few days, so it was inevitable that he would ......
Thinking far away, he forgot for a while that he was still looking at the other party facing Xiaohua, but let the other party capture some of his thoughts on his face and eyes.
Xiaohua's face turned even redder, and she was stunned on the spot for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Little brother, you, don't get me wrong, I'm just helping Sister Xiaocao to ask......"
It was only at this time that she said such a thing, and the suspicion of making it up was too great. Halfway through the sentence, she herself seemed to be aware of the problem, and she couldn't talk about it anymore.
However, Yang Chen didn't face her directly, and he had an idea, and said along the water: "Then go and tell your sister Xiaocao about this good news!" β
As soon as Yang Chen's words came out, it seemed as if he had untied a shackle for Xiaohua.
This time, she replied quickly, and she didn't hesitate any longer, only "um". Immediately turned around and ran away.
This time, it was Yang Chen's turn to be stunned, and said secretly: Woman, woman. What makes you so forgetful? Didn't you just say you were going to do my laundry?
However, although he secretly laughed in his heart. It's not that he really wants the maid to wash his clothes, it's just that he just started living in the Song Mansion, and he felt a lot of discomfort! There is still too much luxury.
Seeing that the clothes had been soaked in the basin for a while, Yang Chen was ready to rub them twice and dry them, and it was very convenient to do it according to his habits. However, when he just stretched out his hands and plunged into the water, he suddenly grabbed a hedgehog like his hand at the bottom of the basin, and his whole body was shocked, and his wet hair almost did not stand up!
After his hands stiffened for a moment, Yang Chen hurriedly picked up the clothes soaked in the water. Volleys shook in the air, and then a wet brocade bag fell out.
In normal times, Yang Chen should be happy to see that this thing is still in his pocket, but at this time, he is not happy at all - how much he hopes, at least in the time when he is washing clothes, this thing will not appear!
He would not have carried such a delicate thing on his body, and this brocade bag was a few days ago, when Wang Zhe asked him to go with him to carry books. Something that was handed to him on the occasion of parting.
He can still remember very clearly that when Wang Zhe gave him this brocade bag, the serious and solemn look on his face, and the sentence he repeated repeated:
"Not when necessary. Don't open the bag, as it will only help you when you use it for the first time. β
It can only be used once. Could it be that the bag is filled with paper? Yang Chen recalled what Wang Zhe had said at this time, and only felt quite worried.
One is not careful. actually ruined the things that Wang Zhe had entrusted him to tell him like this, and Yang Chen suddenly felt a lot of guilt in his heart. I can't help but secretly say: Women are wrong! If it weren't for the little girl just now, he would probably remember the contents of the clothes before doing the laundry.
This kind of troublesome thought quickly passed through his mind, and Yang Chen sighed deeply and stopped this thought. Before picking up the brocade bag, he thought to himself, if he made it look like this, he wouldn't be able to open it and check it. And when he picked up the brocade bag in his hand, he subconsciously clenched his palm, trying to squeeze away the water soaked in the bag, and at this moment, his hand felt that there was something hard in the bag.
"Not paper?"
He suddenly felt a slight joy in his heart.
"What could it be?"
Yang Chen pinched the brocade bag some more, and there should have been a layer of soft cotton silk in the bag, which lost its soft elasticity because of the immersion, so that he didn't realize that the bag was filled with hard objects until now.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Chen still decided to open it to take a look. If it's really a hard thing, then it's something that has a physical store, and it will dissipate as soon as it leaves the bag? And then I think about it, if there are both hard things in it and some paper things hidden in it, then if I don't check it at this time, it may be too late to save it after a while.
But there are too many idlers here in Jingting, so it is really not suitable to open the bag here to check this brocade bag that Wang Zhe solemnly advised.
Hurriedly wringed out the clothes and threw them on the drying rope, Yang Chen prepared to go back to his residence. But as soon as he turned around, he saw another man coming towards him, and when he saw that the man was disheveled, he thought that he was some idle servant, but when he saw the man's face clearly, he could not help but be a little surprised.
The person who came was Mo Ye, she was a woman, but she came to the well pavilion used by the men in the house, in fact, she was looking for Yang Chen.
After only a few words, Yang Chen learned that Mo Ye came to him for Ruan Luo's business.
At this time, Yang Chen remembered the matter of the brocade bag in his heart, and remembered that he had neglected the brocade bag just now because of the greeting, and he couldn't help but become a little anxious, and said secretly: I just sent one away, and another one came in a blink of an eye, is this the will of heaven ready to trick me?
He didn't have the patience to greet Mo Ye about this, but his mind quickly turned again, because he couldn't see the slightest hint of a woman's cowardly posture on Mo Ye's face, compared to the maid Xiaohua who had just followed her here like a fart and refused to say anything, Mo Ye's attitude when he spoke was obviously much tougher, and he asked the root of the problem directly.
Mo Ye came to him, there was really something.
When it came to business, Yang Chen's mind calmed down a little, and after asking Mo Ye a few words, he was surprised again. But what surprised him this time was not the ethereal providence, but the human heart with a point.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Chen looked at Mo Ye and said slowly: "Ruan Gongzi's original words, in addition to telling you not to worry about him, although you don't have to go over, he also said it. If you must go over and watch him, this is what the prince has entrusted to you after all. β
Mo Ye hesitated: "What are the words he left for Bai Tao?" β
Yang Chen shook his head slightly: "I didn't leave anything specific for Bai Tao." However, Bai Tao is half the head of the Song Mansion, and he didn't tell her everywhere. It's also because of her experience, she can preside over some things alone, right? β
Mo Ye paid attention to the word experience in Yang Chen's words, and she suddenly had a trace of strange feelings in her heart, and she didn't speak for a while.
Yang Chen watched Mo Ye's silence, thought for a while, and said, "When I came back to tell Bai Tao about these things just now, you weren't by her side, did you have something to delay, she was anxious Ruan Gongzi, and happened to forget to tell you?" β
Mo Ye first heard his speculation. She also felt that it was reasonable, but as soon as she remembered what had delayed her just now, she quickly recalled the loss and recovery of the small bottle, and for the white peach, she almost had to withdraw her doubts, and suddenly returned, and became deep.
"Brother Yang, I want to go to Ye Mansion." Mo Ye, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly spoke.
"Okay." Yang Chen agreed very neatly, but in an instant, he hesitated again: "You have to wait for a while." I'm going to pack up before I can send you over. β
It was only at this time that Mo Ye noticed with some hindsight that Yang Chen had just bathed. His heart moved, and Mo Ye suddenly waved his hand and said, "No." Brother Yang, I'll just go alone. The trip back just now will make your horse tired enough. You can't be alone for me again, so let's trouble again. β
"You're right." Yang Chen wanted to take advantage of the situation and agreed to Mo Ye's decision. But his attitude towards Mo Ye, or should I say attach importance to Cheng dΓΉ. is obviously higher than the cowardly girl just now, this is not only because of the intersection between the two of them several times, but also because of the entrustment given to him by Wang Zhe when he left the Song Mansion.
So after Yang Chen verbally agreed with Mo Ye's words, he quickly added: "It's getting late, I think I still have to accompany you for a trip." If you don't drive, we can still walk there, but you don't have to worry about going alone. β
When Mo Ye heard this, his heart warmed, and he didn't insist on anything, and nodded.
Yang Chen hurriedly returned to his residence, and as soon as he closed the door, he hurriedly took out the brocade bag from his sleeve, fortunately, his hands were strong, even if he only held it with one hand, he could squeeze out the water contained in the bag, otherwise the wet bag was hidden in the sleeve, and he might have to dye half of the sleeve of the dry clothes he had just changed.
If this is the case, he may not be able to hide in front of Mo Ye just now.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Chen no longer hesitated, took out the dagger he had carried with him when he used to go to Siye, but had only hidden under the bed board in the past few days, and skillfully picked up the seams of the brocade bag.
On the inside of the brocade bag, the stitching method is also very exquisite, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh a little: the clothes worn by the poor people, the patches have to be sewn until the air leakage can not be repaired, but in the rich and noble people, it is just a purse, not only the materials are exquisite, the appearance is beautiful, and even the materials and stitches in it are so fine, but I don't know what is the point of saving such a time-consuming exquisiteness?
If Yang Chen had known Wang Zhe's true identity, he might not have the same idea as he did just now.
Because in this world, there is a class of people who should be careful to judge their one by ordinary eyes, and they are: the royal family.
It cannot be said that they are not human beings, but it is also difficult to deny that when they ascend to the top, whether it is from the spiritual level or from the level of life, they will undergo a change beyond the concept of ordinary people.
Just talking about the refinement of this life appearance embodied in them, in fact, it is difficult to judge whether their transformation of their appearance with such excellence is really just to satisfy personal enjoyment.
Some things look beautiful, but not all of them are suitable for you, and you may only become torture when you inflict them on yourself.
As a royal family, you can have a lot of things you are born with, but at the same time, from the day your identity is doomed, there are also many things that you can't choose.
For example, Wang Zhe, who was originally separated from his friends, was roughly separated by a year and a half, and they could see each other again. But when he left this time, he was not sure about the time of this goodbye, just because he was not sure how the things he had done on this trip would change in the future.
What he will face is not a task that ordinary people can accomplish and obligations that he will fulfill, but as a prince, he can only choose to meet it and not give up. However, he only has a flesh and blood body, and what urges him to go far and ascend is actually the spiritual soul that has been tempered repeatedly.
And the style of such people who are onlookers, if not linked to their identity, can make people feel strange everywhere.
Since the first meeting, Yang Chen has never stopped questioning and speculating about Wang Zhe's identity, and this kind of affection is about to rise to the peak when Wang Zhe handed him a brocade bag.
On that morning, Wang Zhe should have already noticed Yang Chen's feelings, this matter should be put aside in the eyes of ordinary people, it is indeed too easy to be suspicious, he is just saying goodbye to a good friend, but he wants to make a gesture of preventing thieves, and hand over something to a servant of his friend, saying that it is to defend himself.
Judging by the look on Wang Zhe's face when he took out this thing at that time, the contents of this brocade bag should be worth a lot of money......
But why didn't he just give it to his friend?
And if he felt that he had to hand over this thing to his friend's servant for safekeeping, why did he choose him, a living man who had only been in the Song Mansion for a few days?
When he was using the dagger to open the brocade bag and stitch it, Yang Chen suddenly had many thoughts in his mind about the bag that he had kept for a few days. This may be the result of a nervous psychology, because he has always obeyed Wang Zhe's instructions, and has never had the idea of trying to open the bag by himself like today.
At this moment, he felt as if he was about to reveal a great secret, and it seemed as if a trouble was about to befall him with the revelation of this secret.
Just as Yang Chen was in this momentary effort, the gesture of holding the brocade bag was slightly off, and he saw something slip out of the brocade bag with a smooth inner lining......
- Looks like a fish!
A "fish" cast in metal slipped out of the brocade bag and fell to the ground, but the sound of the collision was not very crisp.
That's because it's not made of iron.
Yang Chen hesitated to pick up the fish, only to see that its body was sharp, and if it weren't for the scaly tail on its body, it would look like an arrow.
It's just that the shape of the fish makes the arrow too small, holding it in the palm of the hand, and the length is not more than the width of the palm.
But if you look closely at something like this, it may be really valuable. The preciousness that Yang Chen could see was its texture, and the fish-shaped arrow seemed to be made of cast gold in terms of color and weight.
Yang Chen turned this thing with his hand, and was thinking about it for no reason in his mind, when Mo Ye's call suddenly came from outside the house, and listening to that tone, it was precisely to urge him that he came back to his senses.
Hurriedly answered the people outside the house, and then looked at the inside of the brocade bag, but did not find any paper objects, Yang Chen felt a little at ease, temporarily dispelled the matter of pondering the fish, sorted out the things in the house a little and went out
