Chapter 40: Unreasonable

Since the beginning of modern officialdom, Yi Ying has developed a good habit of not spending money on public affairs and not forgetting public affairs.

Women are good, but no qualified official will make a mistake for a woman.

How can officials who dismount because of women, who do not know how to exercise restraint on women's bellies, believe that they can restrain themselves in other ways? Strategizing in more places? Therefore, they are not qualified officials in their own right, and their disembarkation is not only natural, but also a matter of time, and they do not deserve sympathy or pity at all.

The "agreed" meeting time on the gold and silver darts was the third watch, and when the drum sounded to the second watch, Yi Huan quietly got up from the bed and prepared for the meeting with the master of Tianying.

This is also the reason why Yi Huan pulled Bai Huahua to bed early.

After all, yesterday was the wedding of Yi Huan and Bai Huahua, although Yi Huan had official business, but she didn't want to miss Bai Huahua's happy event.

Coaxing Bai Huahua to sleep early, Yi Huan not only had more time to satisfy Bai Huahua, but also avoided Bai Huahua from misknowing about it, which is why Yi Huan chose not to tell Tong Wu about the matter. Because, no matter why the master of Tianying Sect wants to see Yi Huan, or why he wants to see Yi Huan in Zhixian County, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better.

As for whether someone will deceive themselves in the name of the master of the Tianying Sect? Yi Ying is not worried.

Yi Ying, the magistrate of the county, is not a great member of the imperial court, and he is not in the way of the sight of thousands of households, who would regard a small magistrate as a thing.

"Master, why do you get up so early? It's cold outside, so let's put on an extra cape! ”

As the eldest maid of Yi Ying and Bai Huahua's leader, Chunlan's room is next to the bedroom of the two. Although Yi Huan didn't have the idea of letting Chunlan and the other guards and maids sleep, for the sake of safety, Yi Huan didn't care about the defense of men and women.

Although Yi Huan's movements in the room were not big, Chunlan, who heard the sound, still rushed out in time.

Taking the cloak handed over by Chunlan, Yi Huan noticed that Chunlan's clothes were neater than herself, and couldn't help but say, "What? Chunlan, didn't you sleep today? What about the others? ”

"They have all been arranged by slaves and maids to go to other places, and with their current position, as long as they are not derelict in their duties, they will not come to disturb the master." Chunlan said while helping Yi Huan tie her cloak.

Large households, especially official eunuchs, always have all kinds of rules, in order to avoid getting into trouble, the first thing a house slave does when he enters the door is not to learn how to do things, but to learn how not to do things. Some things are always known as little as possible, and this is not a rule unique to modern officialdom, but has been handed down from ancient officialdom.

Nodding, Yi Huan said, "That's good, let's go over!" ”

With Chunlan's greeting in advance, on the way to the East Courtyard, the two didn't meet anyone again.

Although the whole house is not so lifeless as if there is no one alive, each house slave has his own prescribed route of activity at night, and does not trespass where he should not go. For although it is not a capital sin, it is not much different from a capital sin.

The East Courtyard is not inhabited yet, but for safety, some places have still placed gas death lanterns.

Walking in the shadow of the lamp, Yi Huan said: "Chunlan, what did you say that the master of Tianying Sect was looking for this county, and why did they contact this county in this way." ”

There was a slight sweat on her forehead, and Chunlan didn't dare to say that it was all her idea to avoid revealing her identity. Following Yi Huan's footsteps, he said, "Master, how could the slave know about such a thing? But since they didn't disturb the wedding banquet of the lord and the lady, they must not have any malicious intentions! ”

"That's it." Yi Huan nodded and said.

If the master of Tianying Sect really wanted to trouble Yi Ying, the magistrate, how could he only use this "warm swallowing method" to contact himself.

Even shooting darts in Yi Ying's bedroom in Zhixian County may have some kind of warning, but this is not an act to prevent more people from knowing that the master of Tianying Sect has a connection with Zhixian Yi Ying. After all, there are very few people who can enter the bedroom of Yi Ying in Zhixian County, and there are not many people who know about it.

Thinking that the other party still had the intention of concealing it, the slight uneasiness in Yi Huan's heart began to fade away without a trace.

The two came to a side room, but Yi Ying didn't know that this was the room where Song Tiande and Peony met.

Lighting the candle in the room, Chunlan said, "Master, the slave will go outside now to help you watch." ”

Yi Huan had already taken out the strip of cloth rolled on the gold and silver dart to check it at this time, and did not pay attention to Chunlan's inquiry, but just nodded casually, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. Finding that Yi Huan's expression seemed to be a little wrong, Chunlan said, "Master, have you thought of something bad?" ”

"The county doesn't know whether it's good or bad."

There is not much handwriting on the cloth strip, and it is generally the words of the master of Tianying Sect asking the county magistrate Yi Huan to meet on the third watch day, which is also the reason why Chunlan does not dare to be too overkill.

Although Yi Huan didn't see any more questions, she still picked up the strip of cloth in her hand and said, "Chunlan, look at it, why is the strip of cloth tied on this gold and silver dart just an ordinary long silk?" Could it be that with the wealth of the Tianyingmen that is enough to use gold and silver darts, they also have to use long silk? That's too unreasonable, isn't it? ”

Unconscionable?

When Yi Huan said this, Chunlan was embarrassed behind her, and quickly reacted and said, "Master, this may not be!" Although Tianyingmen uses gold and silver darts as weapons, they may not really be rich. And even if they are really rich, the most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes is the word convenience, how can there be a reason to wear silk and satin to walk the rivers and lakes, unless they are walking the rivers and lakes in a carriage. ”

As long as she remembered Yi Huan's desperate efforts to hack the pockets of thousands of big households, Chunlan didn't dare to say that Tianyingmen was very rich.

For fear that Yi Ying would have some crooked thoughts again, he would make the master of Tianying Sect angry when the situation was unclear.

Yi Huan didn't know that Chunlan still had this kind of worry, and said with a smile: "Riding the carriage to the rivers and lakes? Hehe, Chunlan, what you say makes a lot of sense. ”

"Humph! …… You can't go by horse-drawn carriage? Wonder is the daughter of ignorance. ”

As soon as Yi Huan's words fell, a gust of wind set off in the room.

With this evil wind that made people can't help but close their eyes, a cold and arrogant voice also came into Yi Huan's ears. By the time Yi Huan opened her eyes, there was already a masked woman in the room. And without Yi Ying's greeting, the masked woman was already sitting firmly opposite Yi Huan.

Looking at the woman stunned, Yi Huan desperately suppressed her heart that was stimulated by the evil wind and strange tune, and said with a nonchalant face: "It turns out that Tianyingmen is really a female-dominated sect!" ”,

"Humph! Why do you say that Tianyingmen is a female-dominated sect? ”

The master of Tianying Sect snorted coldly, but he was not at all dissatisfied because Yi Huan suddenly changed the topic, and there was no strange taste of pickiness in his tone, not like questioning, but more like questioning.

"Say a very disrespectful word, because the master of the door is a woman."

Yi Huan's casualness was just pretending, and the attitude of the Tianying Sect Master was a little indistinguishable from each other, but Yi Huan was a little worried.

I don't know what the Tianying Sect Master has to do with Yi Huan, the Zhixian Yi Huan's memory doesn't have anything to do with the Tianying Sect Master, Yi Huan has to pretend that he doesn't know anything: "Whether it is officialdom or the rivers and lakes, in this male-dominated world, if Tianyingmen is not dominated by women, how can the door master sit on the position of Tianying Sect Master." ”

"If there is such a thing, either the men of Tianyingmen are too useless, or someone has hidden evil intentions."

“…… Hum! ”

Yi Huan's words seemed to have touched the Tianying Sect Master a lot, and he snorted, and was silent for a while.

Seeing the reaction of the master of Tianying, not only Yi Ying was surprised, but Chunlan was even more surprised.

Because only with the past behavior of the Tianying Sect Master, if it was not possible to confirm the identity of the other party, Chunlan would simply wonder if the Tianying Sect Master in front of her was another person.

In the end, the Tianying Sect Master still didn't let Yi Huan speak, and said lightly: "Why do you want to publicly say anything about leaving the main room seat empty. If you really want to sit for it, you don't need to say it! Or was it something you were expecting in the first place? ”

Suddenly hearing the Tianying Sect Master's question, Yi Ying was stunned.

Yi Huan never thought that the master of Tianying Sect would come for this matter, although Yi Huan had learned of Princess Daming's reaction from Li Ruixiang, but what does this have to do with the master of Tianying Sect?

Moreover, the way the Tianying Sect Master asked was also a little strange, and Yi Huan couldn't even tell whether she was agreeing or denying it.

Or is it? What is the strange relationship between the master of Tianyingmen and Yi Ying, the county magistrate? Thinking of this, Yi Huan didn't even know whether to envy or be jealous of Yi Huan, the county magistrate.
