Chapter 001: Uninvited Guest
The weather in the early spring of Jiangbei is still a little cold, and the fog is even more humid at night, and there is some drizzle in the sky, which makes the night of early spring even more damp and cold.
There was still a charcoal basin burning in the house, which dispersed a lot of the cold outside, Yan Nianjin picked up the tongs and picked the charcoal fire in the basin to make the house warmer.
My grandmother was too old to withstand the cold of spring, so the charcoal pot in the house was still burning vigorously at this time.
Looking at her grandmother, who was already asleep, Yan Nianjin sighed slightly, turned her head and saw that Mama Yu was still rushing to make her wedding dress, and couldn't help but speak: "Mama, it's late at night, rest early, don't burn your eyes, this marriage is a transaction, you don't have to bother so much!" ”
After that, Yan Nianjin got up and walked out of the house, and when she went out, the warmth in the room suddenly disappeared, and a burst of wet cold mixed with sporadic rain came to her face.
Mama Yu followed her out and draped an old-fashioned cotton cloak embroidered with pink embroidered snow plum on Yan Nianjin's body.
"Gege really wants to get married? Don't you think about it anymore? Mama Yu frowned and looked at Yan Nianjin, "If this was put in the past, the Gu family would be a slave, and the status of Gege would be noble, and the Gu family would never be worthy of Gege!" ”
"Mama, now that the emperors have abdicated, this is already the Republic of China, and my identity is just a joke!"
Yan Nianjin gathered the cloak on her body, looked up at the lonely moon above her head, now she is like this cold moon, hanging alone in the sky, there are already no stars and moons around her, only her grandmother and Mama Yu and Uncle Fu are left, she has to protect her only relatives!
"But the old slave feels that he is still wronged in the end." Mama Yu couldn't help but reddened her eyes as she spoke, and her rough hand held Yan Nianjin's hand, full of unwillingness and reluctance.
"Mama, we are no longer relatives of the emperor, but fortunately, the dynasty has changed now, otherwise we would not have to live a dark life! Back then, Baylor Mansion was destroyed by the Queen Mother, and it was you who protected me until now, and now that you are old, it is time for me to protect you! ”
Yan Nianjin raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Mama Yu's eyes, and said with a smile: "Then Gu Congzhi is also a new-style school, although the Gu family is not rich and expensive, but it is our best choice at the moment, in the end, we will not lose!" Besides, although Gu Qi is the head of a county, he still has an inferiority complex in his bones after all, otherwise he would not insist on asking his son to marry me, and he would not treat me badly if he marries me! ”
"Gege......" Mama Yu still wanted to say something, but when she saw Yan Nianjin's firm eyes, she suddenly felt that Gege, who had been watching as a child, had grown up!
"Mama, I'm gone to take care of my grandmother, although the county government and our house are only separated by one street, but I can't come back every day after all." Yan Nianjin turned to look at the door, and the one she couldn't worry about was her grandmother.
"Where did Gege say, the old slave has followed the old Fujin since he was a child, and if he said a big word, the old slave has already regarded you and the old Fujin as relatives, not to mention that we have relied on each other for our lives in the past few years, and the old slave will take care of the old Fujin without Gege's explanation."
"After that day, the house will rely on Mama and Uncle Fu to take care of it, it's late at night, Mama go into the house to rest, the wedding dress doesn't have to be so exquisite, Mama's eyes are not good, don't burn your eyes."
She and Gu Congzhi have never met, and their impression of Gu Congzhi is only a discussion between the market, and the matchmaker's touting, for such a marriage, there is no need to be so meticulous in preparation.
The reason why she said that Gu Congzhi was good just wanted to make Mama Yu feel relieved and not worry too much about herself.
The night wind swept by, mixed with a slight chill, the moonlight was cold, and the night was as cool as water. Yan Nianjin gathered the cloak on her body, put on her hood, and walked down the steps towards her courtyard.
The yard they live in now is a two-entry courtyard with two cross-courtyards, the grandmother lives in the front yard, and the backyard is where Mama Yu and Uncle Fu and a few rough subordinates live, and the east courtyard is rented out, and she lives in the west courtyard. The yard is not big, a main room and a side room.
Pushing the door in, Yan Nianjin took off the hood, untied the cloak, hung the cloak on the hanger, turned around and was about to turn on the light, but suddenly felt that something seemed to flash in the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Nianjin only felt a chill in his eyebrows, but he heard a low and hoarse voice sound in the darkness: "Don't move!" ”
Yan Nianjin subconsciously straightened her back, stood obediently and didn't make a sound. In the case of not being sure who the other party is and what to do, it is better for her not to act rashly!
"Not afraid?" The voice sounded again in the darkness.
"Afraid it's useful?" Yan Nianjin forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, and tried her best to make her voice sound calm and waveless, but Rao was like this, and there was still a slight tremor in her voice.
"Huh...... Interesting! Don't worry, I won't take your life, just borrow your place to hide! After a long time, the magnetic voice sounded again.
Yan Nianjin didn't speak, just stood quietly, her hands tightly pinched the corners of her clothes, although she couldn't see anything in the dark, her cold eyes were still staring ahead.
She could probably guess what was against her forehead, and the person who could hold a gun in this world was no longer an ordinary person. And the faint smell of blood in the air let her know that this man was most likely injured.
"You're hurt?" Yan Nianjin asked tentatively.
As soon as the words fell, Yan Nianjin only felt that the coolness between her eyebrows was gone, and then her waist tightened, and the whole person was fished forward, and the next second Yan Nianjin hit a clammy and hard chest.
Yan Nianjin only felt the pain of being tied around her waist, and when she raised her eyes, she was facing the pair of dark and bright eyes in the dark, although there was no light, there was only a little moonlight in the room, but it still couldn't cover those breathtaking eyes.
Those eyes, narrow and long, ink-colored pupils hidden in them, like a wolf in a snowy night, glowing with a cold light, and like a thousand-year-old cold pool, deep and cold!
"Little thing, do you know what kind of situation you are in now? How dare you be distracted? Aren't you afraid that I will accidentally pull the trigger and kill you? Well? ”
The man leaned over and accurately leaned into Yan Nianjin's ear, with a slight flirtatious taste in his voice, as well as a subtle smile.
Yan Nianjin suddenly came back to her senses, her voice in the dark carried a slight hint of ridicule, which made her a little annoyed, although she was down now, she couldn't tolerate being so light!
"You just said it, just for a while, not to mention that if you shoot, the gunfire is likely to attract your enemies, you shouldn't be stupid enough to do this!" Yan Nianjin struggled, with a little displeasure in her voice, but she didn't dare to say it too seriously, so as not to really anger the other party, which was not good for herself!
"Hehe......" the man chuckled.
The warm breath around her neck made Yan Nianjin's cheeks hot, but the iron arm around her waist wrapped around her like a cold poisonous snake, wrapping around herself, sending chills down her spine. The stiffness for a long time made her a little unbearable, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
But she still gritted her teeth to prevent herself from showing her timidity, and tried not to let the other party notice her emotional changes.
