Chapter 017: Behind the quiet, there will be a demon

Time is like an arrow, and in an instant, the Marquis of Jiansheng's mansion is empty.

The first to leave the Marquis of Jiansheng Mansion was Guo Lin, he had to go, and he didn't even have a chance to be pretentious. But he firmly believes that he will return to Sui Yu one day.

Guo Lin wore the silver-gray mink robe given to him by Sui Yu, came to the Baxiazhou corridor alone, and knelt down in front of the window of the east main room. It was not yet dark, and the lamps and candles in the main room were not lit. He thought that Sui Yu was still asleep, but he didn't know that Sui Yu was behind the window, silently watching him.

Too many times to fight side by side, too many times to spin in front of the ghost gate, never this time so blocked. He couldn't figure it out, didn't the hero deserve a good home?

There was a warm light in front of the door in the west corner, and Guo Lin immediately quickened his pace. When he got closer, he saw clearly that Shui Sheng had helped him pull out the strong horse, and Jin Sheng was holding a bulging package in his hand.

The three of them smiled tacitly, and everything was silent.

The parting is for a reunion, and they both firmly believe that that day will not be too far away.

After sending off Guo Lin, who was riding alone for thousands of miles, Shui Sheng and Jin Sheng began to clean up the mess in the mansion.

And Feng Ran is not idle here. There was nothing wrong with Rui'er choosing to leave her, she had a lot of things with Rui'er as she had agreed before, even though these were Feng Ran's last valuable items.

After that, Feng Ran helped Jin Sheng and them to distribute scattered gangs to everyone below.

Fiddling with accounts is indeed not as simple as moving their mouths, no wonder Sui Yu Shui Sheng wanted to invite an expert to pick up the beams. But this lesson is profound enough, if you don't understand it, you have to learn it!

The servants' attitude was still better, they first said some reluctant words, and then took the money and left the Hou Mansion. Those generals who were "abandoned" by Guo Lin and Sui Yu were more stubborn than the other.

But Sui Yu's attitude was resolute, and in the end, he refused to even see the face of everyone below, which made these brothers particularly helpless.

The matter that was supposed to be finalized in two or three days was finally concluded after seven or eight days.

Even so, it was still Shui Sheng and others who coaxed and deceived, and said that the situation of the Hou Mansion would gradually improve in the future, and everyone would be recalled.

In fact, everyone can see clearly in their hearts, the Marquis of Jiansheng's mansion is exhausted, where is there any room for maneuver? Their perseverance is all out of loyalty to Sui Yu.

This kind of emotion is very valuable on the battlefield, but it becomes a bit "cumbersome" when it is extended to the field, to the daily life of chicken feathers and trivialities.

People always have to eat and dress first, and then they can talk about ideals and dreams. It's tacky, but it's realistic.

Sui Yu didn't understand this truth before, until he crippled his legs and was forced into a desperate situation step by step.

It's just that he is not as invincible and indestructible as others seem, and the mountain in his heart has actually collapsed.

The space of the Jiansheng Marquis Mansion was silent, and Jin Sheng cleaned, locked, and sealed the doors one courtyard after another.

In the end, except for the main courtyard and main house, only the door of the kitchen in the backyard was still open.

Feng Ran didn't know how the little cannon fodder used to live in her mother's house, but now she really doesn't know how to do any rough work. Fortunately, she had never served Mrs. Hou's money, and after Yun'er volunteered to take care of three meals a day, she followed her every day and studied humbly.

Sometimes Jin Sheng and Shui Sheng saw that she was doing something with her own hands, so they would immediately rush over to help, and even Sui Qi followed her every day to help her do this and that.

The officials thought that everyone couldn't bear to see Feng Ran's "golden branches and jade leaves" doing their own work?

In fact...... It's because she's always making things worse.

I can't count how many dishes I've broken in the kitchen, and the first few times I almost lit a fire in the kitchen. Fortunately, Shui Sheng and Jin Sheng found it in time, and when Feng Ran and Yun'er were fished out of it, the master and servant were covered in ashes.

Yun'er couldn't stand it anymore, and ordered Feng Ran for the first time, asking her to stay away from the stove at all times. Feng Ran went into the kitchen and didn't do anything except wash vegetables and rice.

Feng Ran was unconvinced by his neck, so he simply did the work of washing clothes. She knew how to feel sorry for herself, knowing that it was winter, and she warmed pot after pot of hot water. He brought the wooden basin directly into the west main room, wanting to do a good job.

Outcome...... Not to mention making a mess of the west main house, I also washed several clothes. This time, he couldn't even look at the Sui weapon, and the two little hands shook and rubbed, begging Feng Ran not to be reckless. No matter what she learns, it's not something that can be achieved overnight, so she has to take her time.

Feng Ran had no choice but to give up, changed his routine again, and went to the portable space more diligently. Three meals a day, daily tea and water, Sui Yu's decoction, Sui utensils, etc., the place where the spiritual spring water is used is never soft, and you can pick a flower or grass or something.

Her purpose is very simple, to make everyone's body stronger, and the body is the capital. She thought that the worst thing was the present, could there be a more difficult moment than now?

She didn't despair, she always thought about the fields behind the mansion, and she firmly believed that it was the key to the bottom of the fight.

More than a month has passed, and the heavy snow in Jinxian County has hit one after another, and the outside is even more depressed and dilapidated.

When Sui Yu led everyone to Jinxian, even if it was quiet, he refused to visit people from all walks of life many times, so that after being deceived by Sun Xiang's villain, the Jiansheng Marquis Mansion was completely reduced to a transparent existence in Jinxian.

This Hou Ye, who has not yet taken root here, was once the supreme general of Fengguo, and was completely annihilated in Jinxian County. With the ascension of the new emperor of Beili, it may be forgotten forever by the world.

Sui Yu doesn't cough much at night recently, and his body is much lighter than before, and when he gets up every day to practice walking, he doesn't sweat as much as before. He wondered in his heart, can he still eat vegetables and leaves every day? Isn't it the efficacy of those herbs?

Shui Sheng sat in front of the copper brazier with Sui Yu, who was holding a worn-out military book in his hand, and it took a long time to turn a page.

"Master Hou drink a cup of hot tea to moisten your throat?" Shui Sheng asked sideways.

Sui Yu slowly raised his eyes and let out a casual "um".

The goose feather snow outside the window was still falling, and Shui Sheng got up and brought a hot tea to the master, "There is so much snow in Jinxian, we were dry and cold in Mozhou at that time, and it couldn't snow a few times in a winter." ”

"How much silver do we have?" Sui Yu took a sip of hot tea, "How long can it last?" ”

"Don't worry about this Hou Ye, the little one knows it." Aquatic wanted to fool the past, prevaricating.

The tea cup in Sui Yu's hand froze slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "It's almost the New Year, can we eat meat on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Shui squeezed out a smiling face, "Yes, Master Hou can rest assured." ”

"I still have some items rewarded by Emperor Yuanjing in that cage, you and Jin Sheng should take them out." Sui Yu said flatly, "Those are worth a few dollars, don't fight with me, just do it." ”

Shui Sheng nodded reluctantly, and Sui Yu asked again: "Madame, has there been a stop point in the past two days?" ”

"Madame is busy every day, and she is willing to catch Jin Sheng to help when she has nothing to do. Madame is very interested in the wasteland behind her, Master Hou, you say, Madame, can she get it? ”

"Let her go. When the time comes...... You can help her more. ”

"This is natural, do you still need to be instructed by the Hou Ye?" Shui Sheng smiled softly, "I'm not afraid that the Hou Ye will be angry, the little one and Brother Jin both admire Mrs. in their hearts, we spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Madame, that's it! He gave a thumbs up and praised.

Sui Yu didn't say anything, and he wanted to avoid this question.

As he was talking, Sui Qi walked into the room with Jin Sheng. Jin Sheng was holding Sui Qi, who was holding a letter in his hand, "Daddy, this is for you!" ”

Sui Yu took it in his hand and was very happy to see that it was sent by Guo Lin. Immediately opened and read, knowing that his mother was still alive, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who sent the letter?"

"It seems that it should be an official post envoy, but I think Guo Lin entrusted the relationship and spent money. Otherwise, how could it be delivered so quickly. Jin Sheng let go of the Sui instrument and replied, "Obviously it's not a difficult thing, but there is not even a sound on the side of the capital." ”

Sui Qi rubbed into Sui Yu's arms like a small ball, and when he saw that his father-in-law did not show displeasure, he had the courage to continue to hug his father-in-law and nickname him.

Sui Yu rubbed the little guy's little face, "Is the big one fatter?" Is your body stronger than before? What delicious food did your mother make for you behind our back? ”

"Nope." Sui Qi complained timidly, "Mother kisses her to make things......" He swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, even if Feng Ran fed him poison, he would drink it without hesitation.

The three of them smiled understandingly, "I've been wronged." Sui Yu pinched his little face again, and said quietly: "In the future, about the affairs of the capital, you two should not inquire about it again, and don't mention it again." I remember that there was a sister in the aquatic hometown? ”

"My sister is married, and my brother-in-law treats her very well, so I should have a third nephew this year, right?" Shui Sheng blinked, "My father and mother didn't have to be early, it was my sister who pulled me up." ”

"Then Ming'er took the matter, so I went to the money bank to give your sister some money and went back. This year will be shabby, and when the Hou Mansion gets better in the future, I will send her more. ”

The aquatic wipes the moist corners of the eyes and bows his head to say yes.

Jin Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's better for me, one person can feed the whole family and not be hungry." ”

In the evening, everyone went to the flower hall behind the middle hall to eat. A few plates of vegetable leaves were placed in the middle, except for a small bowl of bone broth in front of the Sui Qi. Yun'er Jinsheng and the others have been called to the table by Feng Ran to eat together, and they have long been divided into masters and servants.

Since he dismissed everyone in the mansion, Sui Yu has never lost his face with Feng and lost his temper.

Sui Yu has a weak heart, in the first twenty-two years, he dared to pat his chest and say that he had never been sorry for anyone, he always felt that he was a man who stood up to the sky. But in the matter of the dismantling of the Hou Mansion, he felt ashamed of Feng Ran.

Sui Yu gave everyone an explanation, and only gave her the wasteland behind her mansion. He felt like he was bullying women. No matter how much he looked down on her before, how hypocritical and annoying she was, now he felt that he couldn't stand Feng Ran.

So she doesn't say anything more than she does. He will drink whatever decoction he is given, and he will use whatever herbs he uses to soak his feet. The only thing he fears now is talking to Feng Ran, especially when he is alone with her.
