Chapter 26: The Quagmire
Xia Wenjin sat up and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Hai said anxiously: "Just now, Miss Qiaoxi came to inform you that you are going to the South Courtyard within a quarter of an hour. ”
"What kind of place is the South Courtyard?"
Li Hai's face turned pale, he glanced at Xia Wenjin with pity, and then looked at the Huangfu Jingchen who was staying silently over there, and said sneeringly: "Miss Wang must want you to serve early, and when you go to the Southern Courtyard, you will know everything." ”
Huangfu Jingchen ignored Li Hai at all, and just looked at Xia Wenjin with an unkind gaze.
Xia Wenjin was surprised, blinked his eyes and said, "Huang Gongzi, what is your expression?" But in a short night, you suddenly remembered that I owed you 8,000 taels of silver and didn't pay it back? ”
Huangfu Jingchen said with a cold face: "Have you forgotten?" Slave to slave! Don't you come to wait for my son to change clothes? ”
It's hard to suppress this stinky boy, how can she collect some interest if she doesn't get a good discount?
Xia Wenjin smiled: "Huang Gongzi, are you a noble person who forgets things?" Who said last night that you don't need to warm the bed, bring water and food, dress and bed, eat, drink, sleep and play with you? ”
Huangfu Jingchen: "......"
Last night he felt that this kid was not well-intentioned, and he was waiting for him here.
Forget it, he endures!
Anyway, he didn't have the habit of asking someone to bring water and food, dress and bed, eat, drink, sleep and play together, just said this, just to teach this kid a lesson.
I didn't expect it to be a lesson, but it made me angry. He cleaned up with a cold face.
The two of them were already moving fast enough, and Lehi was still very anxious: "You have to hurry up, Miss Qiaoxi said that there is only a quarter of an hour!" ”
Xia Wenjin cleaned up neatly and said, "Since this is the case, what are you waiting for?" Let's go! ”
Huangfu Jingchen's movements were no slower than Xia Wenjin's.
Seeing that both of them were ready and you can lead the way, Lehi looked entangled, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare. The timidity in his eyes was obvious.
In the end, he just said in a low voice: "When you enter the South Courtyard, it is like entering the quagmire, and from then on you will be ashamed to see your neighbors, ashamed of your parents, and live in the world, people are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts!" ”
Xia Wenjin patted him on the shoulder and said, "How can it be so serious!" Don't worry! ”
Lehi: "......"
It's them who should be worried, they are new here, and they look like the characters in the painting, Wang Wan'er is not willing to wait for even two days, but after a night, she wants them to serve!
Look at this young son, who doesn't know what it feels like to be worried, thinking that he is going to a banquet? It's so relaxed and casual, I'm afraid that when I arrive at the South Courtyard for a while, I will be scared and my legs will be weak, and I will lose my incontinence.
Xia Wenjin turned his head sideways and asked him, "Why didn't Zhang Quan come back?" "It's dawn.
Li Hai shook his head and said to himself: "If you win the favor of the young lady, you will soon move to an independent new courtyard, and there will be you!" ”
Xia Wenjin's eyes were slightly dark, but he didn't ask again.
The two went out with Lehi.
There were already four middle-aged men waiting at the door, seeing that their backs were straight and they were standing quite orderly, Xia Wenjin's eyes deepened again.
Such a strong man, with a fierce look, a ruthless look in his eyes, a standing posture, and a tiger when walking, this is clearly a soldier.
In every state, county, and county, there are garrisons.
In wars or border areas, there are more garrisons, and in other places, the number of garrisons is strictly controlled.
Those garrisons were originally used to protect the territory and the people. But I didn't expect that when I arrived in Qingyu County, the garrison was used as a private soldier for the daughter of the royal county guard to hide and raise male pets!
It's no wonder that the men who were favored by Wang Wan'er were silent, and they didn't dare to resist or escape. How can the strength of ordinary people compare with these soldiers? If you can't compare with your skills, where will you flee to? Do people who can use military personnel for personal use still mind using their power for personal gain again?
Lehi hung his head and walked in front.
Two soldiers in front and two in the back, carrying them to the south courtyard.
The south courtyard is another courtyard, and after walking a long way, I realized how big this inconspicuous-looking courtyard was from the outside.
Lehi became weaker and weaker as he walked, not only because of the long distance, but also because of the fear and fear in his heart.
Huangfu Jingchen remained silent.
Xia Wenjin's expression was relaxed.
In the courtyard of the south courtyard, there is a delicate balcony.
At this moment, Wang Wan'er, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was sitting under the balcony, and Qiaoxi was serving beside her.
It can be seen that she has been carefully dressed, but Jin Yu is full of vulgarity, and her appearance is not outstanding, except for the heavy rouge gouache on her face, it really makes people not interested in seeing it for a second time.
From a distance, Wang Wan'er saw Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin at a glance, but these two people were too eye-catching. Lehi looks quite handsome, but in front of the two, he immediately didn't look enough.
Not to mention that he bowed his head and shrunk his neck, and his timid appearance could not be compared with the emperor's Fu Jingchen who was lofty and noble, nor could he be compared with the unscrupulous and careless Xia Wenjin's calmness and ease.
What's more, the appearance of these two people is really like a fairy who is not touched by ordinary dust, noble, elegant, and detached like spring and snow.
Her eyes lit up and she stood up immediately, but when Qiaoxi pulled her, she coughed lightly and sat down with the shelf in her hand.
This gesture, this look, is not as enthusiastic and gentle as yesterday when I wanted to trick the two of them.
Zhang Hai walked in the front, and when he arrived under the balcony, he didn't dare to step forward, knelt down and saluted, and said, "Master, they are here!" ”
Kneeling on the ground, he shrunk into a ball, trying to reduce his sense of existence, and also glanced at Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin, signaling them to kneel down quickly.
Of course, it was impossible for Huangfu Jingchen and the two to kneel, so they just didn't see it, stood there without moving, and didn't look at Wang Wan'er.
When Lehi had finished his salute, he got up and retreated to the west side of the balcony.
On the west side, there were already a dozen men like Lehi.
They were all handsome men between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. It's just that everyone is silent at this moment, and even their backs are almost stiff.
Obviously, these men are the same "servants" as Zhang Quan and Li Hai said!
Wang Wan'er didn't speak, and Qiaoxi shouted: "Li Hai, did you tell the two of them what they are going to do when they come here?" ”
Zhang Hai was frightened.
Xia Wenjin said: "Didn't you already say it yesterday?" We know that! ”
Qiaoxi saw that she didn't have the slightest fear, and said, "I don't think you know at all." When you get here, do you still think you are in your own home, the young master of the family? Our young lady is here, why don't you come to serve? ”
Huangfu Jingchen directly ignored it.
Xia Wenjin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that with you, you don't need us to serve?" Where do you dare to rob you? ”
