Chapter 5: Tyusha's Tracking
At noon, except for Old Man Zhan, who was sick and unwell by the disturbance of last night, all the other people who were confined to the General's Mansion sat in the dining room for lunch.
Because now on the surface, everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope, and there is no old man Zhan present, so no one is embarrassed by Qiusha at this time, and it is rare that she is not isolated as usual, and she sits at the dinner table. And the kitchen mother who volunteered to stay, as well as Steward Yang, sat down with the masters to eat in this extraordinary period.
As for the Northern Barbarian beauty Ah Zhuo, who is in charge of monitoring everyone, because of her special identity, it is difficult to snub her, no matter how unwilling everyone is, they have to let her sit together and serve her delicious food and drink.
With the presence of the watchman, Du Xiaomeng felt uncomfortable eating that meal. Zhan Di should have the same feelings as her, seeing Zhan Di peek at this with uneasy eyes from time to time, and just take a peek at that.
And Steward Yang implements the health rule of "food does not speak", and is not affected by other idlers present, and silence is the slow chewing of gold.
As for Qiusha and the kitchen mother, both of them showed nervous and uneasy expressions, and unconsciously peeked at Ah Zhuo's body again and again.
After hastily eating a depressing lunch, Du Xiaomeng pushed away the rice bowl and was about to stand up and say a word to the others before leaving, but heard Steward Yang say to Ah Zhuo: "Miss Ah Zhuo, there are still several people eating in the General's Mansion now, and someone has to go to the vegetable market every day to buy vegetables; Also, the old man is not in good health, and he has to drink fish soup stewed with fresh fish every day to regulate his body. Every day at noon, there are fishermen who go out to sea to sell fresh marine fish, can Miss Ah Zhuo make it convenient for her mother in the kitchen to go to the vegetable market at noon every day? ”
Azhuo's sharp gaze looked at Steward Yang, as if he wanted to see something on his face. But Steward Yang was as calm as usual, no other expressions could be seen on his face, and there was nothing abnormal about his subtle body movements. She thought about it for a while, stared at Steward Yang for a long time, and finally retracted her gaze and said in a tone that could not be denied, "This is okay." However, only one person is allowed to leave the General's Mansion at a time, and he must report to me before he goes out, and when he goes out, he must be protected by our people from behind. ”
Steward Yang seemed to be very grateful, and hurriedly agreed: "Of course!" He bowed slightly to Ah Zhuo respectfully, "Everything is as Miss Ah Zhuo commands." ”
After speaking, he straightened up and turned his head to the kitchen mother and said, "Mother Lin, you go to the vegetable market to buy fish immediately after eating, and come back with some vegetables by the way." ”
The kitchen mother hurriedly put down the rice bowl, lowered her head and responded: "Yes, Steward Yang." ”
Steward Yang seemed to be uneasy and ordered: "Don't delay on the road, come back as soon as you buy it, don't go somewhere else, you know?" ”
"Got it, I'll go now!" The kitchen mother didn't care about the rest of the meal, so she quickly stood up, gathered her clothes, and walked out.
Ah Zhuo also stood up and followed, it seemed that he was going to dispatch someone from outside to follow the kitchen girl.
After Ah Zhuo went out, Steward Yang said to the people present: "The old slave has to go to see the master and retire first." ”
Steward Yang left the scene in a hurry, seeing that his expression was not as simple as just going to see Old Man Zhan, but as if there was something unsightly and important to do.
Then, Qiu Sha, who was not very good, pushed away the rice bowl that had only eaten a few bites, and said listlessly: "I'm full, you eat slowly." With that, she slowly walked out of the dining room.
In the dining room, only Du Xiaomeng and Zhan Li were left.
Without the presence of someone who made Zhan Li feel uneasy, her nervous mood was slightly relaxed. She raised her head to look at Du Xiaomeng, and said with some fear: "Sister Du, those people won't do anything to us, right?" ”
Du Xiaomeng sat down next to Zhan Li, showed a casual smile, patted her hand and comforted her in a relaxed tone: "Don't be afraid, isn't your eldest brother a powerful general?" They don't dare to do anything to us, your eldest brother's fierce appearance is even more fierce and terrifying than the door god sticking to the door. If that group of people dares to touch a single hair of our hair, aren't you afraid that your eldest brother will blow his beard and stare at them to fight hard? ”
Perhaps she had never heard someone use such a metaphor to describe her eldest brother, Zhan Di first stared at Du Xiaomeng with disbelief, and after a while, she couldn't help laughing. With such a smile, her frightened heart was not so afraid. She took Du Xiaomeng's hand, shook it a few times and said, "Sister Du, now there are only a few of us left in the general's mansion, and the silence is terrifying, can I live in the same room with you?" ”
"Okay, it's good to live together and have a care." Du Xiaomeng agreed without much thought.
Zhan Li asked again: "Then live with Sister Du, or live with me?" ”
Du Xiaomeng thought for a while and said, "Si'en Garden is closer to Old Man Zhan's Nianci Garden, why don't you come to live with me, everyone lives closer, and you can know anything immediately." ”
Zhan Li nodded and said, "Okay, I'll move to Sister Du's place." Sister Du, come and help me clean up! ”
As she spoke, she couldn't wait to pull Du Xiaomeng out of the dining room and go back to clean up.
After Steward Yang walked out of the dining room, he walked straight to Nian Ci Garden; Qiu Sha, on the other hand, did not go to his residence after leaving the dining room, but quietly followed Steward Yang and watched his every move from afar.
Steward Yang hurriedly walked into Nianci Garden, stopped before he pushed the door into the house, and cautiously looked around. When he looked back, Qiusha who followed him reacted quickly and dodged behind a tree outside the garden.
Steward Yang didn't see Qiusha, and it didn't seem that he had been followed all the way. He glanced a few times to make sure that there was no one around, then pushed open the door and walked quickly into the house, and quickly closed the door.
Seeing Steward Yang enter the house, Qiusha flashed into the garden. Her movements are fast and agile, and she looks well-trained, not at all like an ordinary woman.
The door was closed, but one window was hidden and opened with a slit two fingers wide. Qiusha quickly walked silently to the window, holding her breath and listening to the movement in the room.
Hearing that, Old Man Zhan coughed a few times, and said with tiredness in his voice: "Old Yang, no one is following you, right?" ”
Steward Yang lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, master, the old slave only came here after he broke up that Ah Zhuo." Also, the old slave had already made a temptation just now, and Ah Zhuo had agreed to let the mother in the kitchen go outside. Although she said that she would have people follow her to keep an eye on her, as long as our people could go outside, they would be able to send the letter out. ”
"Good." Old Man Zhan lowered his voice, "Old Yang, you hurry up and put the letter away as soon as possible, don't be seen by others." ”
Qiusha quietly peered into the room through the crack in the window. At this position, I could just see the old man Zhan lying on the bed in the inner room, took out a letter from the bedside and handed it to Steward Yang who was facing away from the window.
Steward Yang took the letter and carefully hid it on his body, and then said, "Later, the old slave will go and tell that Ah Zhuo, master, you are frightened and unwell, and the old slave wants to ask a doctor for you to go out." When the time comes, the old slave will be able to send the letter out while he is out. ”
The old man Zhan, who was full of tiredness, seemed to let go of his heart and said, "That's good." ”
Steward Yang waited for him to lie back on the bed and said, "Master, you have a good rest, the old slave will go and bring the medicine to you first, and then go and finish the matter." ”
Old Man Zhan closed his eyes tiredly and nodded his head.
Qiu Sha quietly left before Steward Yang walked out of the house. Steward Yang in the house listened intently to the movement outside the house for a while, a smile of unknown meaning hung on the corner of his mouth, and then he put back a calm face as usual and pushed the door out.
