When Tong Yan woke up from a nap, it was already Shen Shi.

She frowned and closed her eyes, humming and chirping on the bed holding the silk quilt and rolling it twice.

Sure enough, she shouldn't have cried.

After sleeping for so long, I didn't say anything, my head buzzed when I got up, and my eyes were swollen, as if I had a big hat on my whole head.

Qingzhi hurriedly brought her a bowl of thin japonica rice and honey porridge.

"Drink it when I get up." Tong Yan squinted her eyes and sat up with her arms propped up.

Qingzhi had no choice but to put down the porridge, took a wet towel and gently wiped her face, and served her to get up.

Tong Yan pouted and sat at the round table, drinking porridge in a daze.

It is slightly sweet, and it can also moisten the throat, which is indeed a lot more comfortable.

The bowl is not big, it is a small bowl, and after drinking it, it feels just right.

She suddenly remembered that Daddy gave her two secret guards, and she hadn't asked how to call them out, where did they usually stay?

Do you want her to shout?

That's stupid, isn't it?

Aoeda handed the empty bowl to Suzune, and she looked at the county lord for a while sighing and shaking her head, not knowing what the county lord was thinking.

"You all go down first, I want to stay by myself for a while." Tong Yan said.

Qingzhi and the others all retreated.

The warm sunlight shone into the house, just illuminating the swirling smoke rising from the bronze carved incense burner where the lion played the ball, which couldn't help but make people feel a little trance.

She sat at the round table with her head propped up, hesitating whether to scream, how embarrassing it would be if she hadn't called the guards out, but had called the maids in.

The room was quiet, and only a few gentle cries of birds could be heard in front of the window.

She cleared her throat and called tentatively at her usual volume, "Where is the Dark Guard?" ”

There was no movement in silence.

She raised her voice again, "Where is the Dark Guard?" ”

Two black shadows, swishing from the back window, rushed in, knelt on the ground and clenched their fists: "County Lord." ”

Why don't you come in through the main entrance?

She was startled and looked up at the main entrance, which was covered by green branches.

"Get up." Tong Yan was a little embarrassed.

The two of them took the order and stood up, and although their backs were straight, their eyes were lowered, like two logs.

The aura of the two of them was so restrained that if you didn't pay close attention to them, you wouldn't feel that there were still these two people in this room.

"Do you have a name?" Tong Yan asked.

"Please also ask the county lord to give the name." The two of them bowed their hands in unison.

Tong Yan thought about it, one was gorgeous, the other was cold, "Why don't you call it Yanyang and Leng Yue, your name is Yanyang, how about you call Leng Yue?" She was very satisfied with the two names, pointed to the two of them, and assigned the names.

However, this name is a bit like a girl's name.

No matter what, it's good to come in pairs.

Tong Yan smiled.

Naturally, the two didn't dare to refute, and they responded in unison.

"Where do you usually stay? Do we need to have a code so that we can summon you? She asked curiously.

Yan Yang replied: "Back to the county lord, we are usually near the house, not too close or too far from the county lord, let alone peeping into the county lord's privacy, the county lord can rest assured." As for the code, the county lord commanded. ”

Tong Yan didn't think about peeping, since Daddy can give these two people to herself, it means that they are reliable, as the so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and she is still relieved.

She thought for a moment, "How about I just call you by name?" ”

The two of them naturally agreed.

Tong Yan thought about it and didn't have anything to explain.

She called Aoeda in.

Two big men came out of nowhere, and they scared Qingzhi who pushed the door in so much that he almost screamed.

Tong Yan and Qingzhi roughly talked about the reason, and Qingzhi put his mind at ease, and according to the instructions of the county lord, arranged food and lodging for the two of them in the corner of the courtyard, and the monthly money and everything were according to the treatment when they followed King Yong.

It was settled in no time.

In fact, for Yanyang and Leng Yue, they don't care at all about how they live and how they eat, the room is a decoration for them, no matter day or night, they have to stay not far from the county lord to ensure the safety of the county lord at all times.

This is their duty as a secret guard, and it is a habit they have cultivated.

Tong Yan already had a plan in her heart.

She smiled slyly, called Ji Yue over and ordered: "You go and buy me a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, the more beautiful the better, and then quietly bring her back." ”

Ji Yue was confused, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "The county lord has fewer idle maids?" Sister Qingzhi said that I will bring Xing'er to you in the next two days, if it is not enough, you can ask the steward to dial two more, why bother to buy some girls of unknown origin? ”

Tong Yanhu blushed, "If you want to go, you will go, remember my request, and don't let others see it." ”

Ji Yue didn't dare to say much, so she responded respectfully.

"The sooner you buy it, the better, you have to know the details, buy it and sell it." Tong Yan instructed.

At the order of the county lord, Ji Yue did not dare to delay, turned around and went out from the back door of the palace, and walked through a few streets into a cramped small alley.

There was only an old door in the alley, tightly closed.

Ji Yue knocked on the door.

After a while, with a "squeak", a clever little girl came over and opened the door, and saw a well-dressed lady standing outside the door, who was more outstanding than the average lady, but she was alone, and at a glance it was a big girl with a head and a face.

The little girl warmly invited Ji Yue in.

There is a hole in this broken door, it is a small house, there are all kinds of flowers on the shadow wall, and when you enter the courtyard, it is also very spacious.

The little girl led Ji Yue into the main hall, greeted her with a smile and served tea, asked her to wait a while, and then went to the backyard to call Chang's mother.

Chang's mother is the owner of this house, and she is also the most famous tooth woman in the entire Beijing Division.

Ji Yue had only heard of it before, but this was the first time she came.

She picked up a few teas, looked at the color, and put it in front of her nose to smell it.

The leaves are whole, fragrant, refreshing, and it is also a good Longjing, but people who know a little bit will know that this is the old tea of the year ago.

However, Chang's mother can provide guests with such tea, which can be regarded as a good strength, which is higher than the hospitality level of some ordinary petty officials.

Ji Yue didn't drink it, she silently put the tea back on a few pieces.

A woman in her fifties walked over, followed by the little girl, who thought it was Chang's mother.

Ji Yue greeted her with a smile, but she was secretly surprised in her heart, she thought that the mother who was a tooth woman should be a shrewd philistine woman in the market, but she didn't expect this Chang mother to be kind and kind-eyed, and she smiled amiably, but she behaved dignified and well-dressed, and she didn't know that she thought it was the wife of a big family!

Mother Chang sat down and asked with a smile: "You are looking at the eyes, this is the first time you have come, right?" I don't know which nobleman's mansion you came from? ”

Ji Yue smiled and nodded: "Mother Chang is really discerning, and it is really the first time for me to come." ”

The answer was only half answered.

That's interesting.

"You go down first." Mother Chang said to the little girl.
