Chapter 15 Sharp Arrows
Yan Du didn't expect that his fainting actually made the whole Zhuang Mansion jump, the Zhuang family and his wife saw that she regained consciousness, and after the three of them happily said a few words, Zhuang took Mrs. Zhuang back to the room to rest, but Zhuang Lin stood aside and smiled stupidly, Xu was used to his son's strange behavior, and the couple ignored him and left.
As soon as Zhuang Lin saw his father and mother close the door, his eyes seemed to glow, staring at Yan Du shyly. Yan Du was a little confused by him, so he had to ask with a light smile:
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Who knows, Zhuang Lin's fresh and handsome face came up all of a sudden, only to see him open his arms, and the stone blue flower silk clothes occupied all Yan Dui's eyes for a moment, and before Yan Du was surprised, Zhuang Lin grabbed her hands with both hands, and she was hugged by him.
Although Zhuang Lin is simple-minded, he is also a man of fifteen years old, Yan Du opened his big apricot eyes, half of his face was covered by his rather strong chest, and there was a fluctuating heartbeat of the other party in his ears, and his unique fragrance was between his noses, Yan Du sniffed, this kind of smell, she had never smelled it, it seemed to be cotton sun-dried in winter, both clear and warm.
"Great! Younger sister! ”
Twilight looked through his chest and listened to his joyful voice, "I thought you wouldn't wake up!" ”
Hey, let them worry about themselves again!
Yan Du felt a little guilty, but more moved, she gently stretched out her hands, grabbed Zhuang Lin's arms, and slowly propped up her head to look at his dignified face, in her delicate eyes, she could feel his love for herself.
"Why, didn't you exchange your life for me back?" The twilight autumn water-like eyes smiled slightly, reflecting in Zhuang Lin's eyes, like an indescribable beauty.
There were bursts of hurried footsteps outside the door, with the whispers of the maids, Yan Du slowly pushed Zhuang Lin away, sat upright on the bed, leaned back against the head of the bed, and smiled at Zhuang Lin:
"Brother, you're tired today! The maids can take care of me, you can go back to your room and rest! ”
Feeling the departure of the little man in his arms, Zhuang Lin's eyes, which were originally full of joy, were low for a moment, but in the next moment, he regained his original look: "Okay, sister, have a good rest, brother, come to you tomorrow!" ”
After Zhuang Lin left, Yan Du saw his two maids, all of whom were crying with swollen eyes like walnuts, so he immediately asked, "Xue Jing, Xue Qu, why are you two crying like this?" Did Mama Xu teach you a lesson? ”
Xue Qu opened her pitiful eyes, her fat face was red, and she shook her head desperately. Yan Du looked at it, Xue Qu's face was a little red, so he was angry, and his voice sank a little: "Xue Qu, who beat you?" ”
Xue Qu saw the young lady who was light and breezy in the past, and a cruel light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she shook her head even more in fright.
Seeing this, Yan Du had to take a deep breath, looked at the two maids below seriously, and said, "Since you two are my maids, naturally you have to let me teach!" Whoever beats you in this Zhuang Mansion is equivalent to beating me, Xue Qu, if you don't say it, I will call all the people in the Zhuang Mansion to come and ask one by one! ”
"Miss!" Xue Jing looked at the fat sister who was shaking her head, and she was really anxious, so she had to speak: "Those injuries were caused by Xue Qu herself!" ”
"What?" Now Yan Du is confused, why does this fat girl beat herself, and she is so fierce?
"Xue Qu went out with Miss, and she didn't notice that Miss was unwell, Mama Xu asked her what Miss did today and why she fainted, Xue Qu couldn't answer, so she fanned herself in anger!" Xue Jing didn't expect her fat sister to look stupid, but her temperament was so fierce.
When Yan Du heard this, she couldn't help but sneer, this girl is a novelty, she has been serving behind her when she goes out during the day, how can she not answer Mama Xu's words?
"Xuequ, come on, why did Mama Xu ask you, you knew what we did today, but you didn't answer her?" She was suddenly curious about her answer.
Xue Qu still lowered his head, but there was no trace of falsehood in his tone: "I'm too stupid, I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing, now I'm Miss's maid, Miss asked me to say that I can only speak, Miss didn't nod, I couldn't say it." ”
Yan Du listened, shook his head with a smile, and asked Xue Jing to take the ointment that Zhuang Lin put on the table, dip some on his nose and smell it, it was faintly fragrant, and it was like wisps.
"Come here!" Yan Du faintly called to her silly maid, only to see her honestly walk up to her, Yan Du looked at the red and swollen cheeks, sighed, and carefully applied the ointment to it.
"Miss, no!" Xue Jing called up with some concern: "This is what the young master specially asked Leshui to buy for you, this ointment is worth a lot of money......"
Yan Du looked at Xue Jing and Xue Qu with a smile, and said with a little teasing, "Yes! This ointment for me to remove scars is all used on your fat face, will you dare to beat yourself in the future? ”
Xue Qu raised his head excitedly, and said with some emotion: "I won't dare in the future!" Miss! ”
Yan Du looked at her two maids with a smile, after observing these days, I have to say that my mother really arranged two wonderful people for her.
Xue Jing is alert, sees all directions, but is curious, and is the character to break the casserole and ask the end. And although Xue Qu is delicious, she is loyal, and she will not ask about anything arranged by Yan Duan, and when others ask, she will definitely not mention it without nodding herself.
If you use it well, it's her sharp arrow.
——
However, after thousands of calculations, Yan Du didn't expect that within a few days of his illness, his sharp arrow would be pulled!
The jade orchid incense, the light white orchid mint incense Miao Miao, wafting a burst of fresh breath, making the entire Badouju full of vitality.
"Xue Jing, is the current Kaifeng Mansion Yin of Shengjing City the King of Hui?" On the snow-white rice paper, Yan Du wrote words that were not as atmospheric and unsquare as before, and the traces of scribbling were completely lacking in her previous pen work.
Xue Jing quietly lowered her head and grinded the ink on the side, and when she heard Yan Duan's question, she hurriedly replied, "Yes, Miss, but now I'm going to call him the prince." ”
Yan Du nodded, indeed, most of the people who served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion were de facto princes, Emperor Heng named King Hui as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion three years ago, and the previous prince died violently, Emperor Heng immediately helped King Hui to ascend the throne, which shows that the Holy Lord has high hopes for King Hui.
Although the original prince Ying Ming was not favored, but Emperor Heng wanted to change the prince, he could make an order, and there was no need to kill his son and destroy his relatives. Therefore, some people speculate that it should be King Hui who saw that there was no hope of replacing the crown prince, so he planned to kill his brother, united with Mao Fang, the secretary of the military department, and coerced Emperor Heng to canonize immediately.
However, the affairs of the royal family are complicated and chaotic, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know everything, how can they be clear.
Yan Dui's writing hand paused, then shook his head, and let himself not think about it. Don't think nonsense, don't say much, don't participate, and learn from your own Hanlin father, which is the way to be content in troubled times.
It's better to spend some time thinking about how to avenge Xiao Feng and Xiao Zhao!
At present, I don't know much, it is all picked from Chen Thinzi's words, one is that Li Fatzi is not dead, his name is Li Guiwang, and his family lives in the western suburbs of the city. The other is "Master Li", who is closely related to human traffickers, and may be the person from the "Uncle Guofu" next door to Zhuangfu.
The former is not difficult to kill, and the latter is even more difficult!
Yan Du looked at the rice paper in front of her that had been written in black letters, sighed deeply, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the wolf mask placed next to the desk, and Zhuang Lin's smiling face jumped in front of her, making her have to smile.
I saw her put down the pen in her hand, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Xue Jing's usual happy and clever face, dyed with a sad look.
Yan Du can be sure that it is related to the fat girl of Xue Qu, today Xue Qu's brother came to Shengjing to do business, and by the way, he came to visit Xue Qu in Zhuangfu, and Yan Du asked her not to wait, to meet with her brother. Could it be that there is right and wrong again?
Yan Du didn't speculate much, and asked directly to the preoccupied Xue Jing.
"Miss!" Xue Jing saw that she couldn't hide her thoughts, so she opened her mouth: "A few days ago, Xue Qu didn't do well and made you faint, so Mama Xu had the intention of changing her, but Miss had a lot of them, so Xue Qu stayed, and today, I heard that Mama Xu wanted Xue Qu's brother to take Xue Qu home, and Xuequ's sister came to Zhuang Mansion to do things." ”
Listen to it, let's do it! can't blame Mama Xu, after all, people who eat a lot don't want to see them anywhere, but Xuequ is already a person she trusts, and the Zhuang Mansion can always afford it.
"Go and call Xue Qu and her brother over!" I heard that Xuequ's brother is a postman, so it is more beneficial to her, and the sharp arrow falls into her bag, how can she say that she will take it.
Yan Du didn't expect that this Xue Qu was fat and round, but her brother was a thin man, and his body shape was about the same as that Chen thin man. She let Xue Jing go out first, leaving the two Xue Qu siblings, and then asked Xue Qu's brother with a smile: "Are you literate?" ”
Brother Xuequ looks mediocre, speaks like Xuequ, is honest, and bluntly speaks: "The villain doesn't know much, I usually listen to other people's orders to send post mail, and I convey it by word of mouth." ”
Yan Dusk's black and white eyes stared at him tightly, not as if he was lying, so he nodded, took out a notebook from the box on the desk, and said, "This is Xue Qu's deed of sale." ”
In fact, Xue Jing didn't need to worry at all, since the two of them were assigned to Yan Dusk, Mrs. Zhuang gave them the deed of sale to herself, if it wasn't for Yan Dusk's nod, even Mama Xu wouldn't be able to send Xue Qu away.
The two brothers and sisters are both straight-hearted people, Xue Qu was a little anxious when she saw this, and asked directly: "Miss, don't you want me?" ”
Yan Du smiled, looked at Xue Qu's chubby face, shook his head and said, "I like you very much, so I want to give you a chance to be free." ”
She looked at Xuequ's brother, picked up the piece of paper she had just written, folded it and put it in an envelope, and said to them: "Actually, I have a request for your brothers and sisters, neither of you can reveal half a sentence about today's matter, and then, I will tell you word by word, do what I say, after the deed is completed, I will burn the deed of sale, and return Xuequ to freedom." However, this is a very simple and dangerous matter. It's the best! If it doesn't work out, the three of us will fall to the ground! ”
The two siblings glanced at each other, and both of them were shocked. They all know that selling their bodies is to trap their lives in the house, and the marriage and childbirth of ordinary people is a delusional thing for them, but now that they have this great opportunity, of course they must grasp it. However, listening to what the young lady said, it seemed to be thrilling, and they didn't know what to do.
"Miss! You say! Whatever it is, I'm willing to do it! Yan Du didn't expect that the girl Xue Qu would rush to say it.
Brother Xuequ didn't expect his sister's determination and loyalty, and hurriedly said: "Our brother and sister have been favored by the dealer, even if there is no deed of sale, I will do my best!" ”
is really a pair of brothers and sisters who are deeply affectionate, Yan Du smiled with relief, looked at the two people in front of him, and suddenly remembered Zhuang Lin, would he give up his life for her?
Hopefully, not......
——
At night, the drum of the third watch was beating, and the whole Shengjing City was silent, and a man with a wolf mask hurried into a ruined temple in the west of the city, handed an envelope and a few pieces of silver to a beggar who had not yet fallen asleep, and whispered in his ear.
The dirty beggar took the thing with his little hand, quickly hid the broken silver in his arms, quietly slipped out of the broken temple, came to the door of Kaifeng Mansion, probed his brain, and saw that there was no one, so he took out the paper in the envelope, pasted his saliva, and pasted it on the vermilion door.
The man who stood in the darkness of the nearby alley, when he saw the beggar with a large piece of paper, quietly departed, walked through the streets and alleys, and when he reached the outskirts of the city, he threw down his wolf mask in a hidden place in the woods, and left without looking back......
——
"My lord! My lord! As soon as Lord Yin Yu, the young man of Kaifeng Mansion, returned to the yamen, the yacha hurriedly walked to him, as if something was wrong.
Lord Yu glanced at it impatiently, who in the entire Kaifeng Mansion didn't know that he was lazy in everything, and let Judge Lu deal with all the big and small things, and this yacha was too ignorant of current affairs!
However, when it was too late, Judge Lu also rushed over from the front hall with a piece of paper, and shouted: "My lord, something is wrong!" ”
"What a big deal!" Lord Yu's eyes were round, and he was a little angry, don't even think about moving him if it's not a big event that the sky has fallen!
Judge Lu gasped, and the goatee trembled and said:
"Someone! Someone is plotting to murder the saints of today! ”
