Chapter 89: Just a Peek
The downtown not far away is bustling with people, and the entrance to the mansion here is like another world, very quiet. The carriage went around the vermilion gate and entered through one side of the door.
Yuan Xi and Zhao Yun stood outside the side door and looked at it for a long time, and they still couldn't get a glimpse of the face of the chick in the car all the way. Yuan Xi was about to go up and push the door, but was grabbed by Zhao Yun.
"Second son, forget it. It's not illegal to stalk, but if you trespass, it's ......."
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "What are you afraid of, does he still dare to report to the official?" Even if I report to the official, I am the official. You're right, though. Since I am the second son of the Yuan Mansion, I have to pay attention to the impact. ”
He withdrew his outstretched hand, but he didn't expect the door to open on its own.
A tower-like man appeared behind the door. The iron-blue Yin Tang, the sharp eyes, the thick neck, and a pair of fan-like palms hanging down to his side below. There is a scar on his face that is carved into the left cheek of his face, which is particularly striking.
"The two of you have been following you all the way from the bazaar, and you don't know what your intentions are?"
This man feels very impactful, but he speaks slowly and logically, in a calm tone, and there is a bit of hoarseness and a sense of tiredness.
Yuan Xi was looked at by him, and involuntarily took a step back, half a position behind Zhao Yun, and then he felt a little safe, and said, "We are just passing by...... Passing by ......"
The big man was condescending, and did not relax his sense of oppression on them at all, and said, "Passing by? Hey, if I hadn't been driving, I'd have gotten you away. Now will you go on your own, or will I drive you away? ”
When he said this, Yuan Xi couldn't hold his face a little and said, "This is not your place?" Why should I go? ”
The big man didn't seem to want to say more, and took a step forward, and the momentum also pressed forward like a substance, forcing Yuan Xi to take another step back, almost out of breath. At the same time, Zhao Yun also took a step forward and stood in front of Yuan Xi.
The big man showed a look of attention, staring closely at Zhao Yun, whose face was like a crown of jade. But Zhao Yun was unmoved, and also looked at him.
The two confronted each other for a while, and the big man retracted his steps and said slowly: "Don't be looking for things, young man, how good it is to keep your life." As a word of advice, get out of here. ”
Then he turned and entered the side door, and slammed the door shut from the inside.
Yuan Xi hurriedly exhaled a breath of air, a wet breath on his back, and gave Zhao Yun a thumbs up and said, "Fortunately, there are you, Zilong, that guy didn't dare to move when he saw you." Otherwise, I will really be beaten today. I can't imagine that there is such a fierce person who threatens others at every turn. This is obviously a public street, so what qualifications does he have to let us go? ”
Zhao Yun said: "This person is not simple. Look at his eyes, he should have been on the battlefield. ”
"Battlefield?"
"That's right, not only have you been on the battlefield, but you have crawled out of the pile of dead people, there is no killing, there is no intention to die, there will be no such eyes."
Yuan Xi listened to his words, recalled it carefully, and really felt that this person's eyes were a little similar to that night of Ko Yi. However, he did not feel that this was a belief in death, but that he had already regarded himself as a dead man. Such a person is the most brave when he charges into battle.
The first to ascend the dead soldiers, that is, a small number of Xiliang veterans have this kind of death intention, and they can't imagine that they will encounter real dead soldiers in this kind of place. Yuan Xi was a little dazed, and while the man didn't come out again, he hurriedly beckoned Zhao Yun to leave. A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and it's best not to fall into his own hands in the future, otherwise he has to give him a little color.
The two left from the side door and went around to the main entrance, and when they passed the two stone lions, a hurried figure came from not far away, and the person who came walked with his head down, but was stopped by Yuan Xi.
"Mr. Song Lu? Do you still recognize me? ”
As soon as the visitor raised his head, he showed a shocked expression, and when he saw that it was Yuan Xi, he hurriedly smiled and said, "It turned out to be the second son, so coincidentally, I actually met here." You are...... Came to Song? This can be annoying, what's the matter, send someone to say, Song will come to your house in person. ”
Yuan Xi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, I heard that the housekeeper of my house chose your house, so let me take a look." Didn't I just pass by, come here to investigate Feng Shui. ”
Song Lu looked at him, then at Zhao Yun beside him, and said, "I see." Before, the steward of your mansion also said that he would not discuss this matter until the general returned from Yijing, but I just asked me to wait, I didn't expect the second prince to come to the field to investigate so soon. Since you're here, why don't you go in together? ”
"That's exactly what I mean."
Yuan Xi smiled and gave Zhao Yun a look, and Zhao Yun looked at him with some concern, meaning that it would be over if he bumped into the big man just now. Yuan Xi signaled not to worry.
In this way, the three of them had their own ghosts, and Song Lu opened the door, and then stepped into the door together.
When I entered the door, there was a road paved with ashlars, and there were some gaps between the ashlars, and some weeds that had withered grew between the gaps. Directly opposite is a shadow wall that acts as a partition, on which is carved a lifelike landscape painting. There are two roads on either side, and I don't know where they lead. Looking inside from the entrance, the terrain inside should still be relatively complex, with curved eaves and deep courtyards.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, a person who looked like a servant suddenly stepped forward, called "Master", and then whispered a few words in Song Lu's ear.
Song Lu listened attentively, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and then said to Yuan Xi: "Second son, please come with me, I'll take you for a walk." This mansion was built during the reign of Emperor Huan, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources at that time. I bought it from a merchant and put a lot of effort into repairing it. Come, walk here......"
Yuan Xi seemed to have returned to the original era, listening to a real estate agent talk endlessly about the advantages of real estate. But he didn't listen to Song Lu's words, he kept turning his head to observe the nearby terrain and the direction of the side door just now.
After Song Lu introduced the basic pattern, he began to talk about feng shui again, and Yuan Xi was even more incomprehensible.
"Old Song, do you have a bathroom here?"
"What?"
"Latrines."
"Yes, over there, I'll take the second son to ......"
"Forget it, I'm in a bit of a hurry, go first, this is Zhao Zilong, Song Lao, you continue to introduce him."
"Good ......"
"Second son, you are wrong...... The latrine is on this side ......"
Yuan Xi trotted all the way and finally got rid of the nagging Song Lu. As soon as he was out of sight of the two men, he slowed down and strolled to look at the plum blossoms nearby. This mansion is divided into four courtyards in spring, summer, autumn and winter, which are planted with plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums. Changing the scenery is a different taste.
Yuan Xi circled around and approached the position of the side door. Song Lu is actually quite simple, and there is no one in the huge courtyard. I don't think I've heard of any children living here. Everything looks a little deserted.
Zheng Zheng - There is a sound of the piano not far away, and there is a sense of sadness and slaughter in the sound of the piano.
Yuan Xi hurriedly approached and came to a courtyard wall, and from the bamboo forest inside, it should be a courtyard called Xia. He walked along the courtyard wall, slowly approaching the source of the sound.
After the piano rang twice, it never sounded again, but it was as if the people inside were deliberately plucking the strings to express their emotions that they could not vent.
After Yuan Xi approached, he finally heard the sound of people talking.
A female voice as crisp as a yellow bird said, "General Gao, since you have sent me here, then your task is also completed." You go, the rest is my own business. ”
Ding dong! Yuan Xi's heart rang, this voice is really good. Judging from this voice, the "okay" beauties in Zhao Yun's mouth are definitely more than the level of "okay". Come on, come on, I'll take a peek and see what it looks like.
