Chapter Eighty-Seven: Life Hangs by a Thread
There is a bathroom in the northwest of the mansion, and those who have been busy all day can go in to bathe and change clothes.
In the bathroom that used to be crowded, there were only a few figures scattered around.
Xuan'er stood outside the door, her anxious little face covered with fine sweat. She didn't know why Jiang Mo wanted the tokens of the little guys, but she had no reason not to follow her orders, and she could only grit her teeth anyway.
Most of the clothes of the little servants were thrown on the shelves outside, and she walked slowly on tiptoe, and when she saw that there was no one around, she turned over the clothes that were placed on the shelves.
The sound of rustling water kept coming from her ears, but she finally turned over a piece, hurriedly took it off, and put it in her cuffs.
However, as soon as she hid, she heard footsteps behind her, and she stood up in a panic, only to see a burly man standing in the doorway, who was slender and handsome.
It's just that the person is wearing silk and satin, but I'm afraid that it is the steward of the mansion, and I can't help but scare half my life.
She was so frightened that she subconsciously ran outside, only to run outside, but heard a man's voice behind her, "What is the girl doing?" ”
Xuan'er hurriedly knelt down, "Please don't tell anyone to go, the slave will never steal again." ”
The man looked Xuan'er up and down, and said with a smile, "Are you from Miss Jiangmo's house?" ”
Xuan'er's face was suddenly full of tears, "It's all the slaves and maids who have a thief's heart for a while, so they went to steal the silver, and it has nothing to do with the girl." ”
The man laughed, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and put it in Xuan'er's hand, "I know that you girls can't help the young master's heart, and now that she is grounded, I'm afraid that life will be even more difficult, you take this ingot of silver first, if you don't have it in the future, go to me to get it." ”
Xuan'er's face was full of gratitude.
The man smiled and said, "My name is He Erlang, and I am in charge of the procurement in the mansion, if you have anything in the future, just go to me." ”
After saying that, He Erlang turned around and left, but he turned the covered bridge and went straight to the courtyard of the Duchess of Huguo, but saw Jin Yu walking in front with a box of pastries.
Naga Erlang tiptoed up, hugged Jin Yu's waist from behind, and whispered in her ear, "I have done everything you explained to me, looking at the appearance of that little girl, I am afraid that I already fall in love with me, and I will look for her a few more times in the future, and I don't believe she will take the bait." ”
Jin Yu turned his face sideways, his eyes full of pride, "Then I'll go back to Mrs. in a while and see how she rewards you." ”
He Erlang kissed her ear and said with a smile, "I don't want anything, as long as the golden jade girl, I'm afraid that Mrs. will be reluctant to give you this baby bump." ”
Jin Yu scolded with a smile, "Don't let go quickly, people will see it in a while, but how is it good?" ”
At this time, a little girl passed by, and He Erlang hurriedly let go of Jin Yu.
Jin Yu then remembered what was going on, with a bit of pride on her face, "As long as we coax that little girl well, we are not afraid that her master will fall behind." ”
******************
Xuan'er didn't put charcoal in the brazier last night, but when the sky was just bright, she saw a white mist outside, and Leng Cen Cen squeezed in through the crack in the door, and it quickly dissipated.
Jiang Mo slowly opened his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Huan Yi was still asleep, and the room was suffocating, only the sound of his low breathing.
Jiang Mo's hand slowly stroked his lower abdomen, and whispered, "It would be great if I could have a child." ”
And at this moment, there was a faint coughing sound outside, and a faint figure stood in front of the door.
Jiang Mo got up in his clothes and opened the door of the house, only to feel the cold air coming towards him, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Xuan'er saw through the screen that Huan Yi was still sleeping on the couch, and hurriedly handed over the package in her arms, "The slaves and maids have been found." ”
After Jiangmo opened the package, he suddenly smelled a smell of sweat, but he had to endure it again and again, let Xuan'er serve on the side, put on the little guy's clothes, and then pinched the token in his hand, and looked at it carefully, "Can you be seen when you steal the brand?" ”
Xuan'er's cheeks couldn't help but turn red, and she couldn't help but be full of Naga Erlang's appearance, "No, no one has ever seen a slave." ”
Jiang Mo looked at her like this, and only thought that she shouldn't have seen it yesterday, but this girl actually had a spring heart, so she smiled and said, "Look at you like that, where it looks like it came out of the green building, don't worry, one day I will bring your deed of sale and marry you off in a beautiful way." ”
When Xuan'er heard this, her cheeks couldn't help but turn purple.
She served the ink to put on the little girl's clothes, and combed her long black hair and hid it in her hat, and felt that the cheeks were too white, so she wiped some dust and covered up a little.
Jiangmo took a look in the mirror, and his face was really a little more heroic, but it looked a little like a little girl.
At this moment, I heard a "bang", and the screen blocking the front was knocked down, and the two people hurriedly retreated, so they were not smashed.
After the screen fell, a puff of dust was raised, and Jiang Mo covered her nose and coughed a few times, only to see Huan Yi staring at her with an angry face.
"The second young master is awake?" Jiangmo's face was full of helplessness.
Huan Yi's gaze was cold, "Where are you going to dress up like this?" ”
Jiang Mo's eyes rolled, and he smiled, "It's just to go out for a walk, what does the young master want, the concubine will buy it back for you." ”
"You obviously want to run away, have you already made an agreement with your lover?" On his crescent-white bedclothes, the fog outside the window was reflected, and it became more and more cold, "Young Master Ben doesn't allow you to go, you just flee to the ends of the earth, and Young Master Ben can also catch you back, and your corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces." ”
Xuan'er's face was full of fear, and she saw that it had already been brightened, but she was afraid that the fog would disperse after a while, and she hurriedly said, "Girl, let's go quickly, the fog will disperse after a while, and those who go out of the mansion to purchase are only afraid that they are all gone, and you will not be able to get out of the mansion." ”
Jiangmo gritted his teeth, and didn't bother to explain anything to Huan Yi, so he just walked outside.
She opened the door, and suddenly a cold wind blew in, and suddenly there was a chill in the room, and Huan Yan's face was even more pale.
"Don't go, stay by Young Master Ben's side, Young Master Ben will marry you in a sedan chair with eight beautiful scenery, and Young Master Ben can give you everything a man can give a woman in this world." His eyes were hot, and he seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage before he continued, "The thought of you being by other men's side in the future makes my heart hurt like a knife, you stay, even if it is for the sake of Young Master Ben's life." ”
Seeing that he was so arrogant, and that the man who had no eyes in the dust could say such a thing, and there was pleading and sorrow in his voice, she couldn't help but be stunned, and just thought about explaining that she would come back, but looking at the fog that was gradually dissipating outside, she gritted her teeth and left.
After Jiangmo left, Xuan'er also brought a few plates of pastries and put them on the table, and brought a pot of tea, which was his meal today.
She saw Huan Yi return to the bed, but there was endless grief in her dark eyes, as if her muscles and bones had been forcibly removed, and she only leaned crookedly on the half-new cushion, like lifeless dead wood.
Xuan'er just wanted to explain that Jiangmo was just out of the house for a stroll, so she naturally wanted to come back, but she didn't know why Jiangmo was dressed like that, so she didn't say anything, and left in a hurry.
When she looked at Huan Yi, she felt frightened, and she didn't dare to be alone in the house with him, and when she was done, she locked the door from the outside and went to her own business.
After Xuan'er left, only the sound of his cold breathing was quiet in the room, and he slowly closed his eyes, but there was a surging pain and fear in his heart.
He couldn't help but think of the day his father died, his father was ordered by the emperor to go to Fengling to investigate the corruption and bribery of the local Taishou, but he didn't expect to be intercepted and killed by bandits on the way, and he was hit by ten arrows.
When the officials transported his father's body back to Shangjing, he only felt as if the sky had fallen.
The eldest son of the Protector Mansion died, and the palace became a mess in an instant, and those who were involved in the Protector's Mansion knew that the one who would take over the position and power of the Protector Mansion in the future must be Huan Yu.
Therefore, his eldest grandson, fell from the position of being ridiculed, and almost no one paid attention to him, even those slaves were very neglectful of him.
His grandmother saw his father's body, but she was sick, and his grandfather endured the pain of losing his son and went about his business.
The person who was also guarding in front of his father's coffin, he was the only one, a half-old child, holding the tablet, leaning on his father's coffin, lonely and distressing.
And that night, when he saw his mother coming, she was plain, but her face was colder than ever.
But Huan was indeed full of expectations, at least someone could accompany him here, so he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Mother." ”
However, his mother did not look at him, but only looked at the dark coffin, and said for a long time, "It is better to die, and now our grievances are settled." ”
At that time, he didn't understand why his mother would say such a thing in front of his father's coffin, a pair of dark eyes fell on his mother's body, and he only begged, "Mother, is it okay for you to accompany Ah Yi, Ah Yi doesn't want to stay here alone." ”
But his mother's eyes fell on him, cold as snow in the depths of winter, and he left without the slightest nostalgia
He always remembered the emaciated figure disappearing in front of the door, and now, that nightmare reappeared in front of him, and he could only watch as the ink disappeared in front of him, but he couldn't do anything.
It turned out that in this life, no one had ever treated him sincerely, even if it was Jiangmo, who was desperately trying to stay for him as a concubine, but he still left him.
He closed his eyes quietly, but faintly heard a footstep, slowly approaching him, he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyebrows that were flying like crow's wings slowly stretched, "Are you back?" ”
Through the veil, he saw a woman's figure slowly approaching him.
He sat up quickly, but before the smile on his lips had faded, he felt a gust of wind blow, and a heart-rending pain in his chest.
When he lowered his head, he saw a dagger stuck in his chest, and the bright red blood slowly left along his moon-white obscene clothes, which became more and more shocking.
The knife was stabbed from behind the veil, and it was a fatal stab, obviously not wanting to give him any way to live.
"You're not Jamki?" His face changed instantly, and he forced himself to endure the pain, and kicked over, and the woman took a few steps back in an instant, and fled from the house as quickly as possible.
Huan Yi wanted to call someone, but Xuan'er didn't know where he had gone, and no one knew he was here.
After a long time, he pulled out the sharp blade on his chest and threw it on the cold bluestone brick, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, what do I do as a lonely ghost in the world, it's better to let go, everyone is safe." ”
The heart-rending pain kept coming, and he slowly lay down on the bed, just waiting for the moment of death. But it was so long that it seemed endless.
After a long time, he seemed to think of something, so he bent himself up and slowly walked to the table of the eight immortals in the room.
Before the ink of the yesterday's research had dried, he took the wolf and dipped some of it, and began to copy it on the paper, but the stroke by stroke was so difficult that even his hand trembled a little because of the pain in his heart.
Soon the picture of the beauty from last night reappeared on the rice paper, and it was even more lifelike than yesterday, as if it could float off the paper at any time.
And the beauty's face was still empty, and Huan pulled a piece of cloth, barely blocking his chest, so as not to let his blood stain the paper.
Then he lifted the pen and slowly sketched the face of the beauty.
*************
Jiang Mo was wearing the clothes of the little guy and holding the token, and only said that she was going out of the house to find Huan, and the little guy guarding the door let her out.
And after she went out, she kept thinking about Huan Yi's miserable white face and that sentence, and she was upset for a while, even on the noisy street, and she didn't have the slightest interest.
She only wanted to buy some things for Huan Yi and take them back, but after a few turns, she didn't find any of them.
He was such a proud man, he had never seen any treasures, and now the things on the street could not even be put into his eyes.
It didn't take long for Jiang Mo to stay outside the Imperial History Mansion, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see a gorgeous sedan chair being carried over, in front of the back hug, Huan Yu slowly got down from the sedan chair, he was still dressed in white, in the cold wind, with a bit of arrogance, like a god.
That Yushi never thought that Huan Yu would really come over, and he had been waiting outside the mansion very diligently, and when he saw Huan Yu, he was busy and respectfully greeted him, and then welcomed him to the mansion with a flattering face.
After the people who protected the mansion walked in, Jiangmo gritted her teeth and went straight to the gate of the mansion, but the little guy guarding the door hurriedly stopped her.
"Who?" The little guy looked at her.
