Hua Jiao guessed that Pei Ze was back.

Let Zhang take care of the child, put on his clothes and walked out.

The moonlight is cold.

The sound of horses' hooves was particularly harsh in the dark night.

Pei Chunshan, father and son, continued to talk in the alley like no one, wiping tears, swearing, comforting, deaf to the sudden sound of horses' hooves, still immersed in the world of grief of the father and son.

Huajiao ignored them and entered the Mingxiang Building through the back door with her skirt.

Mingxiang House has long since closed.

There was only a dim wall lamp lit in the hall, the main entrance of Mingxiang Building was hidden, and Lao Lin Tou and Xu You were squatting on the ground and shaking the people lying on the ground: "Good man, wake up quickly." ”

Hearing the footsteps, Lao Lin saw that it was peppercorns, and hurriedly got up and said, "Madam, this person was injured and fainted at our door." ”

"Where's the horse?" Pepper asked, crouching down to look at the man.

The candlelight was dim, and I could vaguely see the appearance of this man about thirty years old.

Dressed in black, burly and sturdy, he should be a practitioner.

"Ran away." Lao Lin wiped his sweat and pointed at the man, "The injury is on the shoulder, but it is not fatal, Xu has been running around for a long time, and he is tired and faint." ”

Xu You was a little nervous when he encountered such a thing for the first time, and when he saw that the man's lips were slightly open and closed, he hurriedly listened to it, and then raised his head and said to Hua Jiao: "Dongjia, he said that he was looking for General Li......

"Carry him to the backyard!" Hua Jiao's heart moved slightly, and he commanded, "Remember, don't tell anyone about it. ”

The two of them carried the man to the backyard with their hands and feet.

Pei Chunshan hurriedly walked over and asked what was the matter, and the old Lin Tou looked at the pepper and replied, "It's a drunken guest." ”

Pei Chunshan didn't ask anymore.

Pei Man probed his head and looked at the mouth of the alley, and left stupidly.

Pei Run has always cared about such idle things, and flashed back to the house.

Although there are many rooms in the new house, there are also many people living in them.

There was no one left in a wing room at the gate, and there was also a kang in the wing room, and under the kang was the cellar, Pei Ze originally planned to eat wine and play chess in it in winter, Lao Lin Tou and Xu You carried the person to the kang with all hands and feet, Pei Chunshan stood at the door and instructed: "When he wakes up, let him go quickly, live in a courtyard of women and children, it is inconvenient to leave outsiders." ”

"Got it, Dad." The peppercorns should be on their mouths and close the door.

Pei Chunshan: "......"

Wang stood at the door yawning and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's fine!" Pei Chunshan pointed to the side of the room, "It's a drunken person." ”

"What are the drunken people bringing in?" Wang was very surprised, Pei Chunshan frowned, "The third daughter-in-law let me carry it, don't ask." ”

Sichuan pepper is no longer the same as before.

Her back is straight now.

As soon as Wang wanted to go over and take a look, Pei Chunshan pulled her: "Don't go over yet, go back to the house and sleep." ”

Only then did Wang give up.

Huajiao asked Xu You to go to Mingxianglou to boil hot water, and cook some porridge by the way, Pei Ying was also quarreled, and followed Xu You to the Mingxianglou stove room to boil water together, Pei Ying asked in a low voice: "Is it really a drunk person?" ”

Xu You looked around left and right: "He fainted at the door, don't tell anyone, that person is injured." ”

Pei Ying nodded again and again.

"Don't even tell your aunt." Xu You instructed again, "Let's not know, as for what to say, it's up to the owner." ”

"I see." Pei Ying was very solemn.

Sichuan pepper lit the lamp.

Only then did Lao Lin Tou step forward to identify it carefully, his face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Madam, he, he is Cui Yi, the deputy general next to Hou Ye, I heard that he was serving as a money and grain officer in the Northwest Army, but I don't know why I came here to find Hou Ye." ”

"Something must have happened." Huajiao went back to the house and poured a bowl of water, and asked Lao Lintou to feed him, Lao Lintou sat down in his robe, and fed him little by little with a spoon, Cui Yi coughed a few times and struggled to sit up, Lao Lintou hurriedly supported him: "Don't move, your wound is still bleeding." ”

Cui Yi's lips moved, his eyes narrowed, he recognized Lao Lin Tou, and said weakly: "Uncle Lin......"

"Cui Yi, this is Mrs. Hou." Lao Lin pointed to the pepper, Cui Yi was about to get up again, and coughed violently: "My subordinates have seen my sister-in-law." ”

"Adults don't have to be polite." Hua Jiao hurriedly said, "Lie down." ”

Xu You and Pei Ying carried hot water and came in with porridge.

Cui Yi turned sideways, drank the porridge in one go, and then had the strength in his body, reluctantly sat up, looked at Xu You and Pei Ying, and stopped talking, Pei Ying understood, and pulled Xu You out.

Hua Jiao knew that he had something to say, so he went back to the house and took Pei Ze's change of clothes and brought it over, and asked Lao Lintou to help him wash up first: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later!" ”

Xu You knew that he was an outsider, and it was inconvenient to know too much, so he went back to Mingxianglou quietly, cleaned up the traces at the door and on the ground, Pei Ying stood at the door and looked around, and went back to his house quietly.

In the dark night, she lay on the bed, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, and suddenly felt that her heart was very steady, she felt that Xu You was a reliable man, she was no longer obsessed with finding a reader, but felt that no reader could compare to Xu You.

Thinking about it, she covered her head again, and now she is waiting for the Xu family to come and propose.

After the old Lin Tou helped Cui Yi wash up, Hua Jiao went to the house again and asked Cui Yi, "What happened?" ”

"Returning to Mrs. Sister-in-law, the Northwest Army mutinied, and my subordinates have come to report to the Hou Ye." Cui Yi washed up and felt a lot more energetic, Lao Lin Tou obviously had just asked him, got up and said, "Madam, this matter must be reported to the Hou Ye quickly, so that he can be prepared." ”

"Master Cui, since you want to report to Lord Hou, why don't you go to Yucheng and come to Wutong Town instead?" Huajiao was puzzled, Cui Yi hurriedly said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law doesn't know, her subordinates have been chased and killed all the way, day and night, because the nobles in the palace have come to Liutai Temple to incense, Yucheng is heavily guarded, the city gate is closed, and his subordinates can't enter Yucheng at all." ”

"I heard that it was Concubine Xiang who offered incense in Liutai Temple." Old Lin Tou added, "Madam, we have to find a way to let Master Hou know about this." ”

"Now that Yucheng has been sealed, no one can enter until Concubine Xiang leaves." Cui Yi hugged his fists, "My subordinates have caused trouble to my sister-in-law." ”

"Lord Cui is polite." Huajiao smiled, "You can raise it with peace of mind first, and then we will think of a way." As he spoke, he said to Lao Lin Tou, "Uncle Lin, you take care of it here first, rest early, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

Old Lin Tou said yes.

Huajiao thought about Cui Yi in his heart, and after returning to the house, he tossed and turned for a while before falling asleep in a daze.

Just fell asleep for a while, was woken up by a rapid knock on the door, Brother Xuan was also frightened and cried, it was Wang who knocked on the door, and the voice said hurriedly: "Third daughter-in-law, come out and take a look, the officers and soldiers are here, and they have surrounded the house!" ”

"Mother, you're scared of the child." Hua Jiao said unhappily, "Let's not do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, you go and ask them why they are surrounding us, and I'll go out." ”
