Chapter 269: Master and Servant Reunion
The military field occupies too large an area, and Chu Junlan and Fu Zhiheng personally set foot on the land of Huaijing, but they only took a road from the capital to Huaijing City. Who will have nothing to do to look at the rice fields around Huaijing in all directions? Even if I went to see it. How can you tell with just a pair of naked eyes how many acres there are in reality?
On the other hand, even if there is a specific number of acres, no one among ordinary people knows how many are actually registered.
For so many years, no one has turned over half a cent of this muddy account, and you can know where the oil and water that are not on the books have gone.
The water and soil of the Dayong Dynasty raised people, and it was not only Gege Lao who was fattened.
Chu Junlan quietly observed for a long time, and after the people in the room chatted, they all said goodbye to Old Madam Ge, and she quietly flew down and followed Ge Shuyu's footsteps from a distance.
The courtyard where Ge Shuyu lived was in the main house, not far from the upper room where the old lady lived, and she was not in the same place as the rest of her cousins and cousins, which shows how much she was valued in her family.
There were four maidservants in the house, some of whom served to make the bed, and some of whom served Ge Shuyu to wash and comb his hair.
When she changed into a magenta cardigan and lay down, the maidservant gently covered her with a pale green brocade quilt, put down the bea-green tent and retreated lightly, leaving only a maid in the outer room to go to the night.
Chu Junlan hid in the dark, and when there was no sound in the courtyard, and the breathing of the master and servant in the house gradually stabilized, she jumped in from the half-open window outside, and quickly walked to the maid who was in the night and stabbed her twice.
The maid thought that she didn't dare to fall asleep, and she was awake with caution, but soon after the needle fell, she fell asleep with her head tilted, and snored.
Chu Junlan sat at the table of the Eight Immortals with the light projected into the house by the lantern outside the window through the lattice paper, touched the teapot on the table just warm, took an upside-down teacup, and poured himself a cup of tea to eat.
In the dead of night, the sound of tea soup falling into the teacup is particularly loud.
Ge Shuyu in the middle heard the sound of pouring water as soon as he fell asleep, and couldn't help but turn over irritably, closed his eyes and reprimanded: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing!" Get out and drink the water! ”
Chu Junlan sneered, didn't say a word, just ate tea.
Ge Shuyu didn't hear the voice of the servant girl to make amends, and her heart became more and more unhappy, she was so angry that she was dozing and woke up for most of the time, and cursed in a low voice: "In the end, I haven't seen the world's dirt buns, just a servant girl like you, when you arrive in the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for two days and will be sent away, the master says you, you will pretend to be dead?" This girl in the countryside is too much worse than the one in the old mansion! ”
originally promised his father to fake his death and return to his hometown, and cut off his desire to be a princess, Ge Shuyu was not happy.
When I came to Huaijing, I felt more and more that nothing here was comparable to the capital, and even the subordinates were rude, and my heart was even more panicked. These days, when she finds an opportunity, she can't help but stab the servant girl a few words, and every time the girl knows how to apologize, and coaxes her nicely. Why is this a piece of wood today?
"Hey! You damn girl! ”
After waiting for the maid to make amends, Ge Shuyu sat up, lifted the thin quilt hard, and pulled the soft-soled embroidered shoes he wore in the house and went outside.
"Can't you hear what the master is saying! You know how to drink water, you know how to drink water, why don't you drink to death! I've never seen an unruly girl like you, if I had left it on the line, I would have beaten you to death, you ......"
If you don't say it, you will suddenly be blocked in your throat.
Ge Shuyu's eyes widened, and he looked at "Xicui" sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals in disbelief, the light outside the window was projected into the room in the dark blue night, and "Xicui"'s face was half hidden in the darkness, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was weird.
"Miss, I'll come and see you." Chu Junlan lowered his voice, imitating the voice of Xicui in his memory.
"Ahh Ge Shuyu was dumbfounded, grabbed her chest and took a few steps back, stumbled on her left foot and sat on the ground on her right foot, and fell firmly, she moved her legs back, and the sound from her mouth was thought to be loud, but it was actually a breath sound.
"Ghost, ghost!"
"Miss, how are you doing?" Chu Junlan put down the teacup and stood up.
Ge Shuyu opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "Don't come here!" Don't come here! I'm not afraid of you! If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time! I, I'll knock your head flying! Don't come here! ”
Chu Junlan slowly moved closer to Ge Shuyu, thinking of the miserable female corpse in the coffin she saw in Ge Ge's old mansion that day, but her heart was cold.
It seems that it is really Xicui who died. And Xicui was beaten to death by Ge Shuyu, and it was tortured and killed.
Chu Junlan couldn't understand how Ge Shuyu would be so vicious to the girl who served him closely! How ruthless she was!
"Miss, it's too cold down there, come and stay with me." Chu Junlan suppressed his anger and stretched out his hand towards Ge Shuyu.
Ge Shuyu screamed: "Ah! Stay back! You, you! If you dare to come here, you will be scattered! Don't come here! ”
Her screaming voice was like a bellows, and she was so frightened that she couldn't make a normal sound. She grabbed something casually and threw it in the direction of Chu Junlan, but her arm couldn't use her strength for fear, and the smelly liquid quickly wet the skirt of her bedclothes.
Ge Shuyu's voice was too high-pitched and miserable, and it soon alarmed the people outside.
Chu Junlan heard the footsteps approaching, dodged and flew away from the nearest window, and only the afterimage could be seen in his fast body.
At the same time, the door of the house was pushed open with a "bang", and the maid rushed in with a lantern.
"What's wrong with Miss Yu! Oops, what's wrong with you! ”
"Quick, go see if you're a thief! Tell the nursing home to search! ”
……
Ge Shuyu held his head and curled up, already terrified to the extreme.
The ghost of "Xicui" is gone in the blink of an eye! It's gone! Could it be that she felt guilty in her heart, thinking about it day and night, and dreaming at night, and hallucinating?
But when she craned her neck and looked out at the table of the Eight Immortals, the teacup that had been passed told her that it was all true! The ghost of "Hee-cui" has really been found!
"I, I'm going to ask a mage, I'm going to ask a mage to catch ghosts! Fast! Ge Shuyu screamed sharply, and his eyes were so unfocused: "Invite the mage immediately!" ”
The Ge family was suddenly in chaos.
Chu Junlan took advantage of this time to leave quietly, went back to the inn directly, washed off his disguise, and changed back to the dress of a servant girl when he followed Fu Zhiheng all the way.
Early the next morning, after having a simple breakfast in the front hall of the inn, Chu Junlan whispered the results of last night's investigation to Fu Zhiheng.
Fu Zhiheng's fists were clenched, trembling all over, and he gritted his teeth: "Seventy percent is hidden?" It's good, it's good! ”
At this moment, a mixed sound of horses' hooves and luan bells came from outside the inn.
