Chapter 292: The End (2)
"No, Master, leave me alone!" Li Jun's muffled voice came from inside the house.
Seeing that he had no intention of opening the door, Aunt Bai just shook her head, glanced at the door of the West Wing again, and returned to her room in a dejected manner.
Until the evening, when the moon and stars were scarce, neither of them came out.
Aunt Bai went to the kitchen to make some porridge and shortbread, divided them into two portions, and planned to send them to the two people who were angry.
At this time, Twelve was sorting out his baggage in his room.
After having an unpleasant quarrel with Li Jun this afternoon, they didn't say a word to each other on the way back, and Twelve always felt like a fish bone in his heart, and he was uncomfortable.
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Twelve girls, it's me." β
Twelve heard that it was Aunt Bai, packed up the baggage, opened the door, and smiled: "Aunt Bai, it's so late, what's the matter?" β
Aunt Bai lifted the things in her hand: "I see that you haven't eaten at night, so I'll send you some porridge and snacks." β
Twelve looked at the delicate snacks and porridge on the tray, and was a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry to trouble you so late." As he spoke, he took the tray from her hand and let her into the room.
There were no chairs in the room, and after the twelve handfuls of porridge were placed on the table, they pulled Aunt Bai to sit down on the edge of the bed.
In her eyes, this is a normal thing, but in Aunt Bai's eyes, she feels that this little girl is befriending herself.
So she kindly took Twelve's hand and asked with concern: "Twelve, it's not that Aunt Bai is nosy, it's just that Jun'er has never been in an emotional mood for so many years, soββ"
Twelve understood that Aunt Bai wanted to reconcile the two.
She shook her head: "Aunt Bai, this is my problem, don't do Li Jun's business, it's me-"
As she spoke, she thought of the night breeze, and her tear glands had been a little developed recently.
Aunt Bai's eyes turned red when she saw her talking, and she couldn't help but comfort her: "If you have anything, just tell Aunt Bai, Li Jun is a boy, you may not be very easy to speak." β
It's not that Twelve didn't think about finding someone to talk to, but who to talk to?
Who would believe her bizarre and grotesque story? Through time? The feelings of intelligent people? Soul fragments?
Until now, Twelve herself has not come out of the shadows, how can she tell Aunt Bai?
She could only wipe away her tears strongly, and she stumbled to the end: "Aunt Bai, I'm really fine, I just had a quarrel with Li Jun during the day, and it will be fine tonight." β
Aunt Bai saw that she didn't want to say it, and she couldn't force her, so she patted her on the shoulder and told her to eat and rest early.
Twelve nodded obediently, and Aunt Bai got up, and just as she was about to leave, she saw the package on the bed, revealing a jade scroll.
Aunt Bai felt a little familiar.
She pointed to the jade shaft and asked, "What is this?" β
Twelve smiled: "It's just a painting of the old man, not something worth caring about. As he spoke, he stuffed the exposed jade shaft back into his baggage, clearly not wanting to show it to others.
Aunt Bai really didn't care, smiled and turned to leave.
Twelve thought about it alone for a long time after she left.
I haven't found Juxianzhuang after looking for so long, is it possible that the information on that note is misunderstood?
She took the note out again and read it by candlelight.
The thought that this might be the last few words left by Ye Qingfeng to her, Twelve couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
She stretched out her index finger and stroked the yellowed edge of the paper, as if she was caressing the cheek of her sweetheart through a hundred years of time and space.
Suddenly, Twelve sat up, his back straight.
She removed the paper from the light, moved closer to the light, and tried and again.
Under the candlelight, several looming small seals jumped on the paper: "Changzhou County Lord's Mansion." β
What does that mean? Twelve found that these words can only be seen when they are close to the candle flame, could it be that this is the real point of the note?
Writing about Changyang County and Juxianzhuang is just to confuse others?
Twelve looked at it several times, confirming that it was not his own dazzle, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted.
Whether it's true or not, you can only know if you go to the county lord's mansion, Twelve couldn't wait to put away the note, unloaded the things that would make a noise on his body, and quietly went out.
Li Jun's house is not far from the county lord's mansion, he walked through it once during the day, and found the gate of the county lord's mansion on the road at night.
She looked up at the plaque with gold paint on a red background, took a deep breath, and climbed in through the courtyard wall of the main entrance.
After entering, Twelve found that this county lord's mansion was really the same as it was on the outside, but I don't know if it was because of local restrictions, I always felt that the layout here was faintly rustic.
For example, this fake surprising rockery and the inferior pink cherry blossom branches on the mountain, is this a face project done by the county? Half of the money in the county lord's mansion was spent on the white marble steps outside!
Twelve complained while wandering around the county lord's mansion, although he hadn't lived for a day, but this was also rewarded by the emperor, it was his own thing, and it represented his face.
She thought that if she had the chance, she must urge the magistrate to repair her county lord's mansion.
Thinking so, the county lord's main courtyard arrived.
The county lord's mansion is divided into four courtyards, the most central is the main courtyard plum courtyard, which is also the place where the county lord lives, and there are several other courtyards scattered on the left and right.
Twelve came to the front of Luomei Courtyard, but found that the courtyard door was locked, and after a big circle, she did not find the back door, and in desperation, she could only climb over the wall again.
When she jumped off the wall and landed on her feet, she noticed that the decoration in the courtyard was different from that in the courtyard outside.
There's sophistication everywhere here.
The glazed beast on the roof, the green shadow on the window, and even the flowers blooming in the courtyard seem to be not an uninhabited courtyard, but like a boudoir of a young lady.
Twelve was amazed and puzzled, how could the difference in the repair style here be so huge, if it was to perfunctory the imperial court, then the magistrate could only do faΓ§ade work, and come in to repair the Luomei Courtyard so exquisitely, and no one could see it?
And the Luomei Courtyard is actually locked, could it be that there is something unsightly here?
As if to confirm Twelve's suspicions, she heard an unusual noise.
The sound of grinding like a stone mill was especially evident in the dark night, and Twelve hid behind a bush of flowers, trying to hide himself as much as possible to make himself look less conspicuous.
At this moment, the door of the main courtyard room opened, and Twelve looked through the gap between the flower branches in astonishment, and out of it came a man dressed in white, who should be dressed as a woman.
Twelve began to beat the drum in his heart, it can't be a ghost, right?
But when she looked at it again, she was startled, it was no one else who came out of the room, it was Aunt Bai!
