Chapter 198: Secret Letter
After drifting on the ship for a few days, Zhao Xian was already exhausted, and after introducing Yue Pingyang and others to each other, he hurried to his temporary residence in the city.
The carriage creaked along the stone road, and Miss An looked up at the full moon in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking. Zhao Xian rode on the horse from time to time and played Hache, seeing her pull the horse to come to him like this, he smiled and said: "What's the matter, Birou, so distracted, which little Langjun are you missing?" Don't say it's me, I'll be shy. ”
Miss An came back to her senses, looked at the big face in front of her and hurriedly shrank back, and said with a slightly red cheek: "Who misses you, I wish you had gone away earlier, so as to save me from looking upset." ”
Zhao Xian touched his nose, couldn't help laughing awkwardly, and said stupidly: "I'm upset, it also means that I have me in my heart, and I can be remembered by the eldest lady, I'm really flattered." ”
"Cut!" An Birou couldn't say anything about Zhao Xian, so she snorted lightly and didn't get involved in this matter. Her beautiful eyes turned, and she asked strangely: "Zhao Xian, when you met that caravan from Northern Qi during the day, why did you ask that Xingya girl about medicinal materials?" Don't say that you really look down on people with big turnips, I, as Yijun's sister, promised her to supervise you well. ”
Supervise me? If you don't guard yourself, you will be thankful. Zhao Xian shook his head and chuckled: "When those two women introduced themselves, they said that they were from Jianghan Wan Yaozhai and came to Wuchang to purchase medicinal materials, so I wanted to test it, but I thought that they really couldn't even distinguish the most basic deception among the medicinal material merchants, so it was impossible for them to come to purchase medicinal materials, and the identities of the two were probably not simple." ”
"Oh?" An Birou was slightly startled. Thinking about it like this, there was something wrong with those two beautiful women, and she couldn't help but say anxiously: "You see their flaws, why don't you leave them behind, what if they are really spies sent by Northern Qi?" ”
Zhao Xian shook his head lightly: "Based on verbal words alone, how can I detain a weak woman without evidence, let people know that I can't despise me to death, just let Virtue secretly follow." ”
Miss An nodded, feeling that there was some truth, this kind of thing was not her forte, so she stopped discussing it. Instead, he asked, "Are your injuries better?" I hurt like that a few days ago. Normal people may not be able to get out of bed for half a month, but you jump up and down like a monkey every day without rest......"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhao Xian's face immediately darkened: "Although you care about me, you can't use some good adjectives, have you ever seen a handsome monkey like me?" ”
"Don't you see it now?" Miss An sneered. Lightly covering her lips, she glanced at Zhao Xian with disgust. With the faint words of the moonlight, it is really beautiful.
This girl. It's getting more and more clever and unruly, if it weren't for the fact that you are my sister-in-law, I would have to serve you well with family law. Zhao Xian glanced at her a few times as if demonstratively. But he was glared back, and he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, as if he didn't hear it.
When the moon is bright, the streets of Wuchang City gradually fall silent, and most of the merchants are closed, only the lights shine through the windows.
Coming to a newly cleaned up mansion in the west of the city, Hu Yidao saw Zhao Xian and An Birou talking happily, and waved his hand knowingly: "It's not early in the day, Brother Xian, you send the eldest sister in first, I'll wait for you at the intersection!" ”
It's all at the door, what else to give, it's not that she can't walk. Zhao Xian was inexplicable, but he saw that Hu Yidao was walking like flying, and he had already run far away.
An Birou's cheeks were slightly red, she jumped out of the carriage and took a few steps forward, stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'll just go in by myself, I don't need you to send it!" ”
"Yes, lonely men and widows, it is not good for our reputation to run rashly to your residence at night, and spread the word." Zhao Xian grinned, and led the horse to prepare to go to the house next door.
"You bastard, what's your reputation?" Miss An's face stiffened slightly, and when she saw that he was really about to leave without saying a word, she raised her eyebrows, and suddenly became angry: "When you bullied me like that in the bandit village, why didn't you see you, a bastard, estimating your reputation?" ”
Her silver teeth bit off her cherry lips, her eyes turned red, her steps were hurried, and she was about to enter the house, but she felt that her sleeves were being pulled by someone, and when she turned her head to look, it was Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian's face was a little embarrassed, and he said lightly: "That's a last resort... Of course, it's not that I don't have nostalgia, but you know that I'm a normal man, and you kept biting me when you were disobedient, and I didn't care too much about it in a hurry. ”
"What else do you explain?" Miss An's eyes were red, and she shook off Zhao Xian's hand, and tears fell: "You are the one who became the heart, you disciple, you were so shameless at the time, and now you are so hypocritical." ”
"Okay, I'm shameless, I'm being serious." Zhao Xian sighed and said softly: "Why don't I send you two bouquets of peach blossoms to apologize, last time I was in a daze and seemed to hear this." ”
Although his voice was soft, An Bi was soft in crying, but she could hear it clearly and clearly, her choked voice instantly decreased, and she argued in an inaudible voice: "I said that, I wish you had died earlier, how could you have the time to think about these irrelevant things, you were in a daze at the time, you should have lost your mind and gone crazy." ”
The two were silent for a while, looking at his shriveled face, An Birou wanted to laugh in her heart, but she didn't dare to spit it out, her cheeks were hot, she sobbed softly, lowered her head, and said in a gentle voice: "You, are your hands so sharp?" ”
Zhao Xian looked at his left hand, which was almost fine, and he chuckled: "Naturally, thank you for your concern." ”
"Who cares about you, I'm afraid you're dead." Miss An snorted, her pretty face turned red, she groaned for a long time, and whispered: "When you come to Wuchang, you may go to the battlefield at any time." If you have no eyes, be careful. Wear the armor neatly, the helmet, the heart goggles, don't give it up! When riding a horse, choose the one with light hooves, advance quickly, and retreat quickly......"
Zhao Xian hummed movingly. Miss An also seemed to feel that she had talked too much, which did not match the style of the past, so she hurriedly stopped her mouth and turned around and walked towards the house.
"Do you want me to send you in?!" Zhao Xian hurriedly asked.
"No need!" An Birou snorted softly: "It's not very convenient for a lonely man and a widow." It's not good for our reputation to spread it. ”
This girl will still learn and sell. Zhao Xian chuckled, and after the door of the house was closed, he got on his horse, whipped the horse's butt a few times, and ran to the street.
Hu Yidao was admiring the flowers and plants on the side of the road, and when he saw Zhao Xian coming back, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you and your cheap sister have an unusual relationship." ”
Zhao Xian rubbed his faintly sleepy forehead and chuckled: "You kid, you have nothing to do with this kind of thing all day long. What else will be done? ”
Hu Yidao laughed stupidly. put away his evil smile and said seriously: "Brother Xian, you said that there was a problem with meeting that beautiful woman during the day, why don't we go and tie her up and interrogate her now?" ”
Speaking of the woman. Zhao Xian somehow. I think of those deep lake-like eyes. It hooked people's hearts and souls to jump out. If Side hadn't lost it, he should have been able to search it tonight.
Zhao Xian coughed lightly and looked left and right. Cai said: "A knife, how can this be done, if there is no evidence, it is illegal to rob the people's daughter, we are not in Osmanthus Lane, it is best to convince people with virtue when going out." Even if it is a robbery, I have to find an opportunity that no one knows, and I have to wait for Sister Su to be absent before I can do it, so that she will know that she will skin me alive. ”
"Do you believe I'm going to skin you alive right now?"
Before Zhao Xian's voice fell, a person fell from the treetops next to him. The night dew was heavy, and a thin layer of mist condensed on Su Wanyun's ears, clear and transparent, flashing with crystal brilliance in the faint moonlight. Slender hands without makeup, white clothes are better than snow, and hair flutters gently in the cold wind, as if a fairy descends to earth.
"Ed..." Zhao Xian's face suddenly froze, and he sneered: "Ah! Sister Su, you are really there, I just tested you if you were not there, but I didn't expect it to really provoke you. In fact, you know, I, who am known for my integrity, would do such a vicious thing of robbing people's daughters? I'm sure I'm not going to make a move based on a guess. ”
How could Su Wanyun believe such nonsense, and snorted softly: "Those two women can't be spies of Northern Qi, they probably didn't want to make trouble, so they didn't answer your question, how can you start to suspect people with such an inexplicable temptation?" If I find out that you are secretly doing these lowly things to bully the people, I will not be able to spare you. ”
"It seems to be." Zhao Xian nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly frowned: "However, I told Side a few words to let him follow those two women, you know that Side has always been very good at catering to me, if he takes it upon himself to tie them back to me to warm the bed, it has nothing to do with me, and you can blame me for this." ”
Su Wanyun frowned slightly, feeling that with Side's temperament, it was really possible to tie up those two innocent women. She couldn't let go of her heart, so she got up and said to the innocent Zhao Xian: "I'll take a look, you go back to sleep obediently, don't do this kind of thing that disappoints me." ”
"Got it." Zhao Xian beckoned, a few different smiles flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly: "Silly woman, it's so easy to be fooled." ”
"Brother Xian, what are you fooled?" Hu Yidao didn't know why, and pulled Zhao Xian's sleeve and asked. “
Zhao Xian patted the horse's buttocks, walked to the house on the same street with Hu Yidao, and laughed softly: "It's nothing, just joking with her." A knife, I'll give you one thing, help me run errands? ”
Hu Yidao patted his chest with a smile and a smile: "Brother Xian, what you say is outside, from childhood to adulthood, you don't blink your eyes when you take my life, what's the point of running an errand." ”
Zhao Xian patted his thin shoulder and showed a few smiles, without saying much, after quickly returning to his yard.
In front of the desk, Zhao Xian took advantage of the dim light, held the pen and thought seriously for a long time, and then wrote a few lines of small words, took out the envelope and put it in, and then sealed it with fire paint, handed it to Hu Yidao, and said in a low voice: "You go to Kyoto immediately, send this letter to Xian Weike, there is a little maid there, it is the maid of Shen Lingshan's daughter Shen Yu, we saw it in Changzhou, you must recognize it, and hand the letter to her." ”
"Oh?" Hu Yidao took the envelope unexpectedly and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you still have a leg with the daughter of Old Marquis Shen?" ”
"What has a leg, it's so ugly to say, it's just cooperation." Zhao Xian shook his head lightly, and did not say much, but instructed: "Remember, it doesn't matter if you send it or not, but you must not let people notice, and destroy the letter at the necessary moment." ”
Hu Yidao nodded, and patted his chest with a big grin: "That's natural, I'm very good at this kind of thing, and I will definitely deliver the letter without wind or risk." But Brother Xian, what are you mysteriously going to do? ”
Zhao Xian sighed lightly. Spread out her hands and said helplessly: "Your sisters-in-law are restless, planning some big things all day long, I just want to help them get their wish, and I will tell you in the future." ”
Hu Yidao nodded, didn't ask more, took the envelope seriously, and said goodbye to Zhao Xian and walked out of the yard.
The moonlight was like a flower, Hu Yidao rushed to the dock with a sleepy pegasus, and with the sound of horses' hooves, the horse galloped through the street. Hu Yidao touched his chest from time to time on the way. There was a hint of curiosity flashing in the triangular eyes, but he forcibly held back and did not move. Instead, he muttered: "Brother Xian handed over such an important matter to me, just to believe me and treat me as a brother." How could I mess things up. I have been walking in Changzhou for many years. If you can't do this little thing. How do you come out and mix..."
As the words faded away, a woman's figure flashed out of the darkness on the stone bridge at the corner of the street. Wrapped in black, you can vaguely see the bumpy figure. Looking at Hu Yidao's departure lightly, a few doubts flashed in his delicate phoenix eyes, and he groaned slightly, and then chased after him.
Zhao Xian lay in the room for a while, but found that his body was tired, but he didn't feel the slightest sleep, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
The lamp in the room was dimmed, and he was about to close his eyes in a daze, when he suddenly felt a slight breeze blowing in, blowing the candle to the side.
He sat up helplessly, rubbed his forehead, put on a garment, and walked out of the room. Looking left and right, Ziyue had already rested next door early, but the lights were on in the Feng Imperial Hospital, which also lived in this courtyard, and two women could be seen chatting from the silhouette of the window, and the other looked like Liu Yan'er.
Zhao Xian didn't bother them, went straight up the wall, and ran into the house next door.
The residence was arranged by Xiao Jianjun, and the next door lived An Birou and Mrs. An, and the two houses were connected on the same street, and they were reached by climbing over the wall.
Because it is only a temporary residence, the area of the house is not very large, Zhao Xian sneakily ran to this house, passed through the weeping flower gate, entered the back house, Baishi Yong Road, both sides are pine and cypress. The courtyard is lit on both sides of the courtyard.
The east wing must be An Birou's, Zhao Xian did not hesitate at all, and walked straight to the main room.
"Bang bang!" Raise your hand and knock on the door, while guarding against someone coming from your left and right.
"Birou? Just come in and knock on the door. Mrs. Ann called softly inside.
Zhao Xian showed a few smiles, this sentence was familiar, he didn't think too much, he opened the door with his hands and feet, went in and tied the door.
The room is slightly warm, burning incense, in front of the dresser, a makeup mirror, the curtain on the couch is hanging down, and the plain white curtain is reflected by the light.
Mrs. An was reclining on a beauty couch, with a table in front of her and a delicate small lamp on several cases.
The spring stools, small tables, incense burners, Luo tents, and couches in the room are all available, and the decoration is unusually gorgeous and comfortable, quite a bit of the taste of the daughter's boudoir, and a little more mature charm.
Mrs. An was holding a needle and thread and was seriously embroidering something, but before she could raise her head, she put her things into the small basket next to her and covered them. The room was warmer, her cheeks were slightly crimson, and her neckline was unbuttoned with two cloth buttons, revealing a little tenderness inside.
Dressed in a warm light veil, because the room was hotter and wider, the shawl rested on her legs, and the soft evening dress could not hide her bright color at all.
Mrs. An felt that the light was dim, and this figure did not seem to be Birou's, she turned her head in confusion, but saw Zhao Xian slowly walking over and sitting beside her.
"Ahh You—" Mrs. An exclaimed, but she was not as surprised as before, she calmed down after a moment, and stood up from the soft couch and said hurriedly: "What are you doing here at night?" ”
Zhao Xian sat down on the beauty couch, took her hand and said, "The long night is long and I have no intention of sleeping, and I miss you a little in my heart, so I came to take a look." ”
Mrs. An has obviously just bathed, her face is tender and tender with a hint of fragrance, and the small clothes can't cover her figure at all, this sitting up shirt hangs down closely, revealing a piece of clotted white jade-like crisp breasts, and the bust of the crimson mandarin duck playing in the water is mostly half exposed, squeezing out a deep ravine.
"Who believes your nonsense." Mrs. An's face was slightly red, she noticed his gaze, and covered her chest with a shawl: "I didn't see you here during the day, but I didn't sleep well at night but sneaked here, who knows what the hell you want." ”
As she spoke, her cheeks reddened a little, and her eyes drifted away.
Zhao Xian looked at her restrained appearance, and felt as if his hand was holding it tighter. Looking around, he saw the strange little basket next to him, he raised his hand to take it, looked through it carefully, but saw that it was a child's clothes, and there was a big tiger embroidered halfway on it, and the red Dandan was cute.
"Don't move." Mrs. An was embarrassed, and hurriedly snatched it, her face crimson spreading to her pink neck.
"Can't you show me my child's clothes?" Zhao Xian's smile became more and more serious, and he turned his head and lay down side by side with her on the soft couch, and reached out to wrap her into his arms.
"Yikes!" Mrs. An's body tightened, her breath was a little messy, her small fists were clenched tightly in front of her chest, and she said with a slight annoyance: "You, you little thief is getting bolder and bolder, do you really think I am reluctant to beat you?" ”
Zhao Xian hugged the delicate and convex wonderful person in his arms, and there was no other movement, just closed his eyes comfortably, and said with a smile: "If you want to fight, you can fight it, who made you my wife." Speaking of this, Zhao Xian hugged him tighter, and the slightest woman's fragrance penetrated into his nostrils, and he took a deep breath and said: "Sister Liu, you are superb in martial arts, but now you can only embroider and make clothes in this boudoir, and you will have to do laundry, cook and take care of children in the future. Will it not be happy? (To be continued......)
