Chapter 233: A Glimpse
At night, the moonlight is as gentle as water and spreads through the castle, and you can see the outline of the courtyard without candles.
Qingyue saw Pingxin, who avoided the people of Duan's mansion and came to her courtyard, she didn't light the lamp, but she didn't be able to say a few words to Pingxin, and at this time, there happened to be a noisy sound outside the courtyard.
The people in the courtyard rested early, and even if they heard a sound, they didn't see anyone else come out to look.
Qingyue's clothes are still neat, but at this time, wearing such neat clothes to go out, although no one may notice, but after all, it is a flaw.
She let Pingxin dodge aside, reached out and ruffled her hair and clothes, and put on her shoes, lighting the candlestick beside the bed.
After the candle was lit, the sound outside the courtyard came closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of her room.
The back-and-back door blocked the passer's footsteps and kept them out.
Qingyue's shadow was reflected on the door, trembling slightly.
"Outside...... Who are the people out there? The trembling voice showed how scared her master was.
The little guy who was holding Duan Yuzhi was named Qing Yan, and he was assigned to Duan Yuzhi by the housekeeper only a few months ago, and his previous name had nothing to do with the word Qing Yan, but the little guy next to Duan Yuzhi came and went, and there would only be one name, so he changed his name.
He asked Duan Yuzhi, "Is the young master going to rest in Miss Yue's courtyard today?" "But the young lady greeted them before the young master went out.
If the young master gets drunk, he will be sent back to the young lady's courtyard directly.
However, that kind of situation can only be done when the young master is completely drunk and has no idea of his own.
But the young master can still speak clearly at this time, so you should still follow the young master's orders, not the young lady's orders!
Qing Yan thought as he reached out and knocked on the door.
If the news he inquired about was not wrong, the last 'Qing Yan' was sent away because he didn't take the young master's orders seriously.
The young master and the young lady's minds are not in the same place, but they often say two completely different orders, such a situation where the gods are fighting, they still try not to get involved, even if they really need to express their attitude, they must behave more in favor of the young master.
After all, he is the little maid next to the young master, not the young lady.
Duan Yuzhi drank too much wine at the banquet tonight, and when he was in the Wen family, he was still afraid of being in front of people and tried to suppress himself. Now that he returned to his home, the drunkenness that had been forced to go down came to his head one by one, and he saw Qingyan knocking on the door for a long time, and he didn't see the person inside open the door, so he couldn't help frowning.
"Open the door."
The cold tone was indeed Duan Yuzhi's voice.
Qingyue actually didn't want to open the door that much, but according to her current status, it would be very strange if she didn't open the door.
After the door opened, before Qing Yue could think about what kind of expression to put on, Duan Yuzhi pushed Qing Yan who was holding him aside, entered the room by himself, and closed the door with his backhand.
Suddenly he was the only one left in the empty courtyard.
Qing Yan touched his head, and it was not easy to leave directly, so he ran to the next room, found an empty room casually, and went in to rest.
It's not that he doesn't want to stay outside the door and wait for his young master at any time, but when he taught them these subordinates before, he had already said that if they encountered this situation, they would find a place to stay by themselves, and they couldn't stand at the door without a little eyesight.
Although the current situation is slightly different from what the housekeeper said, there is not much difference between the people inside whether they are young ladies or Yue girls!
Thinking about it like this, Qing Yan's dodge speed was faster.
What happened in the house was not what Qing Yan thought.
As mentioned earlier, Qingyue's position in Duan's Mansion was quite embarrassing, and Duan Yuzhi knew it, but he didn't think about making changes, at most, when Master Duan wanted to send Qingyue away, he was unwilling to live or die.
Therefore, Qingyue couldn't serve a hangover soup to Duan Yuzhi at this time, and she couldn't even call a subordinate, so she took out the upside-down teacup on the square table and poured Duan Yuzhi a cold strong tea, which could barely have the effect of breaking down the wine.
When it is not their turn to treat this kind of thing, everyone is watching from the sidelines.
Duan Yuzhi looked at the tea in front of him, which was not hot at all, and suddenly felt a little more pity for Qingyue in his heart, and even wanted to come forward in person to stand up for Qingyue in Duanfu, but such a thought was fleeting, he quickly pushed away the things in front of him, and stared at Qingyue without blinking.
The ethereal candle flame could only illuminate a small world around it, Qingyue stood on the edge of the candle flame, half of her body was hidden in the darkness, and the angle of lowering her head looked very much like Ah Yu, especially in the eyes of a drunken person, it could already be called a fake and real.
"I saw you today, but you didn't even look at me, and just walked away......
He was still thinking about it as usual, just complaining about why Ah Yu couldn't get as close to him as before.
Duan Yuzhi said softly: "I originally thought that on the big day of your brother's marriage, you would stay in the front yard for a while longer, but who knew that you actually left with the bride." I also bought you some emerald hairpins for you...... I knew that you were really empathetic and don't fall in love, everyone knows how bad his reputation Xie Huai'an is outside, but you abandoned me and chose him, you are really blind! ”
After Ah Ling left, Duan Yuzhi still wanted to give the hairpin to Ah Yu, so he secretly went to Wen Ning, wanting to borrow Wen Ning's hand to send something.
As a result, the thing was not sent, but it made him hear about Ah Yu's next plan.
He pulled Qingyue to his side with one hand and gently stroked her cheek, with a thin smile on his face.
"But it doesn't matter, a person with a bad reputation like Xie Huai'an, no matter what kind of evil things he does, is a matter of course. A, you have traveled all the way to visit him, and when you see his true face, you will definitely be able to come back! ”
Qingyue didn't care about the hand lingering on her cheek, and her heart was already shocked by the words that Duan Yuzhi revealed.
Duan Yuzhi lay between her neck, and her breath hit her skin, making her hair stand up.
I only heard someone whispering in my ear: "Ah Yu's family are all patriots, so you will definitely not be deceived by traitors like Xie Huai'an again!" ”
The sound of breathing gradually stabilized, and the person who was pressing on her shoulder had already fallen asleep, but Qingyue was still a little uneasy, and when she moved Duan Yuzhi between the beds, she specially sniffed the smoke for him.
Pingxin walked out of the shadows and asked Qingyue in a low voice: "What did he say next to you, I see that the expression on your face is very wrong, if it weren't for the fact that he was drunk and didn't look at your face at all, just the way you looked just now would be enough to make him suspicious......"
In the end, he was a person who came out of a place, and he had accumulated some friendship in the past, so he deliberately mentioned Qingyue.
Qingyue pursed her lips, repeated Duan Yuzhi's words again, and said: "The son values the young master of the Xie family very much, and the girl has always regarded him as a close friend, even if such a person has a bad reputation outside, it is impossible for him to really look like ...... That's what he says, a traitor......"
But Duan Yuzhi swore so much again.
The reason for the rest is naturally very clear.
And maybe the Duan family is still involved in this matter, otherwise how can Duan Yuzhi, who is far away in Kyoto, know the news thousands of miles away, and still gloat behind his back!
Pingxin knew something more detailed than Qingyue, not only did he know that his young master valued the young master of the Xie family very much, but also knew that the other party was the husband that the young master had chosen for the girl.
Over the years, their young master has spent a lot of effort on the young master of the Xie family.
How can a person who has been taught by the young master for so long be a traitor!
Ping Xin nodded, ready to bring the news back.
At this time, he looked at Qingyue on the side again and paused: "He spit out the truth after drinking, when he wakes up, will it be difficult for you?" Otherwise, you're still ......."
Qingyue interrupted him: "He used to come to me drunk before, and every time he woke up, he couldn't remember what happened when he was drunk. The last time he came to me drunk, he happened to meet Master Duan on the way, he probably saw Master Duan as someone else, rushed up to fight with others, and then was taught by the guards next to Master Duan to be a new person, and was beaten to cry dad and call mother, but when he woke up, he didn't know what happened. ”
"It's going to be fine on my side, you better leave early, lest someone find you on the way."
There are some things that you can't do easily, so don't do them lightly.
At the beginning, it was Qingyue who made her own initiative and let herself enter the backyard of the Duan Mansion, although this practice made her unable to continue to stay in the Wen family to protect Ah Xuan, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, after all, the first ten years of her life were all about the goal of protecting Ah Xuan.
But after it really took root in Duanfu, she was glad to have made the decision she made at the beginning.
Who let the eldest young master of the Duan family be behind his back, and he still didn't give up on their girls!
Pei Yin looked at the small courtyard outside the window, the courtyard was lush and green, it was a good time in spring.
He suddenly asked Pingxin: "You said that Ah Yu insisted on going out to play this time, is it a coincidence?" Or had she already anticipated what was about to happen at the border gates? ”
It's no wonder that he suddenly had such an idea, it's really Ah Yu who is too careless, always showing a lot of flaws in front of him, naively thinking that if he doesn't say anything, he will really reveal nothing.
Peace and silence.
After all, their young master may not really be waiting for his answer.
It's better not to say anything and give the young master a space to think quietly.
Pei Yin really didn't care about Pingxin's reaction, he sighed deeply, and tiredness was written all over his face.
If it weren't for Ah Yu's obsession, Pei Yin might have given up Xie Huai'an directly, now in this world, three-legged toads are not easy to find, and two-legged men are everywhere. Even if Xie Huai'an is missing, he may not be able to find Ruyi Langjun for Ah Yu, if it really doesn't work, he can introduce Su Mingzhe to Ah Yu.
Anyway, with him, Su Mingzhe didn't dare to treat Ah Yu badly.
It's a pity that he is reluctant to put Ah Yu in a dangerous situation.
didn't know that Pei Yin had discovered the impending danger on his side, and he didn't know that Pei Yin was even ready to go to General Pei to ask for manpower and go to the border pass to intervene in the affairs of the border pass.
According to Ah Yu's original plan, she was going to leave after her brother got married.
But after the girl of the Song family really married into the Wen Mansion, Ah Yu's heart was more worried, if she left home before her sister-in-law returned to the door, how would outsiders think in their hearts, needless to say, she was a little worried that her sister-in-law would also be cranky, so she postponed the time to leave for a few days.
No matter how many times you delay, there has to be a limit.
It's already late April now, and if she postpones her departure time any longer, I'm afraid that she will get summer, and counting the time it takes to travel on the journey, when she arrives at the border, won't she risk missing the opportunity.
It really can't be postponed any longer.
When his brother and sister-in-law came to greet Mrs. Wen, he said that he wanted to set a time to travel away from home, although Master Wen San was not at home, but the husband and wife were one, with Mrs. Wen San in charge, and the final result was the same.
However, no sooner had her words been uttered than the room suddenly fell silent.
Song Shanyin, who was still teasing Mrs. Wen San's laughter, was looking at Ah Yu silently at this time, she didn't see the slightest dislike on Ah Yu's face, nor did she see any unwillingness, as if she just said something insignificant, as if she was talking about eating sweet and sour fish at noon.
Mrs. Wen pressed the throbbing corners of her forehead, thinking that Ah Yu hadn't mentioned going out these days, so she thought that the little girl had changed her mind, but she didn't expect that she was waiting for her here.
"It's about to be summer, the weather will get hot everywhere, I don't think it's a good time to travel, Ah Yu might as well wait a little longer, wait for your father to take a vacation, and we will go out to play together as a family, do you think it's okay?"
Something similar, Master Wen San also said, but Ah Yu didn't agree at that time, and he won't agree at this time.
She looked at Mrs. Wen for a long time, and when Mrs. Wen couldn't help but turn her head, she said slowly: "We have already agreed, and my mother didn't send me to Weizhou for summer vacation in the past!" I think now is the best time to go out, so I head south, where there are good places to live in all seasons. ”
As he spoke, Ah Yu looked at Mrs. Wen suspiciously: "Mother, you can't talk or not!" ”
If her father and mother really went back on her word, she felt that she couldn't run away from home secretly.
There must be a first time for everything.
Perhaps Ah Yu's desire to go out was too obvious, and Mrs. Wen routinely persuaded her, but after not getting the desired result, she turned to tell Ah Yu to pay attention to her own safety during the trip.
