Chapter 131: Ma Mansion
Zhen Bei was happy and anxious, and said, "Nangong He, what are you going to do?" β
Nangong He had a look of sarcasm in his eyes, and then walked forward: "Gu Zhenbei, I will treat you with affection and give you all the life-saving things!" But now that I am in dire straits, you don't feel worried or guilty about me at all, but walking with the Ten Emperors, do you still have a conscience? β
Seeing that he had raised the sharp blade in his hand, Zhen Bei was anxious and angry, and hurriedly explained: "It's not what you see, I met the Ten Highnesses purely by accident. Princess Koya and I were kidnapped, but fortunately he rescued us, and we just happened to return to the imperial city together, so I canβ"
"Hugh is going to be rhetorical!" Nangong He coldly interrupted her words and scolded, "You are ruthless to me, but I can't let go of your kindness!" Only by killing you first, and then I will step on the Yellow Spring with you, and our flesh and blood will never be separated! β
After he said this, the blade in his hand turned into a white light, shooting straight towards Zhenbei's vital point.
"Don't!" Zhenbei sat up suddenly, and quietly walked around, the moonlight shining through the window paper, obliquely reflecting diagonally in the room.
It turned out to be a dream!
Zhen Bei covered her chest, where her heartbeat was still like thunder, this dream was too real, and Nangong He's cold eyes in the dream made her gasp in the ice cave.
Why do you have such dreams? Could it be that Nangong He is in danger?
After a long time, she gradually came to her senses.
It's impossible, not to mention that he is strong in kung fu, there are fewer people in the world who can hurt him, just to say that his identity as a messenger this time is to lead the army, how can there be any thrill at all?
Zhen Bei shook her head gently, and drove out the uneasiness in her heart, it must have been because she had occasionally talked about topics related to him recently, and she always felt ashamed of him in her heart, so she would have a dream at night!
Fang Cai was shocked into a cold sweat, and when she was relieved to interpret the dream, she felt that she was extremely thirsty, so she got up and walked to the table, and without lighting the lamp, she poured herself a cup of tea by the moonlight, and drank it slowly.
Suddenly, a figure flickered by outside the window, and the speed was extremely fast, and people couldn't help but suspect that it was their own illusion!
Zhen Bei walked softly to the window, where the dark shadow passed, just where she had been staring, and she was convinced that someone had passed by outside her room, and that person was doing a great job!
In this remote mountain village, there are such masters? Is this a high-ranking person who lives in seclusion here and now, hidden among the villagers, or, like them, just a nearby farmhouse?
Regardless of the identity of the other party, what is the purpose of sneaking into their resting place in the middle of the night?
Zhenbei quietly approached the window, dipped her fingers in the tea, poked a small hole in the window paper, and looked towards the courtyard, but saw that it was empty, where was there half a figure?
It seems that the other party has left!
Zhen Bei thought for a moment, gently pushed open the door, and walked out.
The room of Nangong Ke and Princess Keya has already been extinguished, and they must have fallen asleep, but in the room of the mother and son of the big cow, the shadow of the dim candle flame is faintly revealed, it seems that the night is still shallow at this time, and they have not yet rested!
The tea in Zhenbei's room has been cold, after drinking some, the stomach is faintly painful, and now it is obviously impossible to fall asleep directly, the long night is long, so I want to ask them for some hot water to make a pot of tea, and I am walking towards the side room.
She had just stood in front of the door, and before she could knock on the door, she heard the voices of mother and son in the room.
"Good boy, you are already acquainted with Miss Nakoya, and I can see that she likes you very much from the bottom of her heart, so I will beg her tomorrow morning, and let them give you a ride by the way, and go to the town to find your father!" You are father and son after all, blood is thicker than water, no matter how angry he is with you, he will not really bear to see you hungry and indifferent! The big cow girl said in a low voice.
Zhenbei raised her hand and had to take it back, what she said was related to them, and it didn't seem appropriate to come over rashly to beg for water at this time.
At the moment when Zhen Bei hesitated, the muffled voice of the big cow also came out.
"He, he's not my father! Otherwise, how could you forget the agreement with the big cow? How can you treat your mother so coldly? Since that incident half a year ago, he has completely changed as if he was a different person! β
"Silly boy, your father must have changed his temperament because of your uncle's accidental death, coupled with his sudden debts, and his chaotic situation. But, he is your father in the end, we, as a family, should be more considerate of him at this time! The big cow lady persuaded patiently.
"Mother, you have said this to Da Niu 11,000 times, you are right, we should be considerate of him! However, do you know that the last time Uncle Wang took me to find my father, the child approached him cautiously, he, how did he treat the child? He not only pushed away the big cow and disliked the dirty body, but also gave the scallion pancake that his mother specially made for him and his favorite food before, to his uncle in the yamen. And his mother stayed up for him many nights, and the few new pairs of shoes were thrown there at will, and he never looked at them until the child left! Da Niu's voice raised a few degrees, and he choked up a little at the end.
"Really?" The big cow girl lost her voice.
"Mother, Da Niu was afraid that you would be sad, so he didn't tell you these things! Apricot and her mother said, my father has an outer room outside, and he raises fox spirits for all the money he earns, is it true? Mother, what is the outer room? Why did Dad suddenly raise a fox? β
"Don't listen to her nonsense! Big cow, go to the apricot's house less in the future to play! The big cow lady said angrily.
"Oh, good!" Da Niu said cautiously, "Mother, is this what you plan to bring to your father?" Wow, it's so fragrant, it's a scallion pancake! β
"Big bull, don't move!"
"Now that my mother is ready, tomorrow the child will beg Sister Keya and let them take it to see Daddy together." Da Niu said in a low voice.
"No need to go! Look at your father's business, just put it first! It's not too early, let's go to bed early! The voice of the big cow girl revealed helplessness.
"And these cakesβ"
"Since he's not rare, it's better to leave it to us to eat!"
"Hmm. Mother, don't you sleep? β
"Big cow sleeps first! Mother promised your sixth aunt that the sewing of these purses has not been completed, and if the delivery is delayed, it will be less than 30% of the salary! β
"Mother, when the big cow grows up, you can also find a decent errand, and then your mother won't have to work so hard!"
"Good. Mother waits for that day! The big cow girl smiled, and seemed to regain her spirits.
Zhenbei sighed, turned around and walked back to the wing, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is better not to drink tea again tonight!
The next day, Zhenbei couldn't help but pay more attention to the mother and son of the big cow, but saw that their expressions were the same as before, but the eyes of the big cow lady were slightly red, and she didn't know if she was too tired from staying up late to work, or she had secretly cried.
Until they got into the carriage and left, the mother and son did not mention taking the big cow to visit their father.
Before twilight fell, the carriage drove into the city gate, as expected, and the officials and servants of the government had been waiting by the gate for a long time.
Ma Xianling is a fat and short man, about forty years old, it seems to be to match the round body, even a face is surprisingly round, he has a mustache, a pair of eyes that are not big, and laughs into two thin and short lines.
"The presence of the Ten Highnesses really makes the ground shine! I also ask His Royal Highness to reward Wechen with a performance, so that Wechen can prepare a banquet in the house to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, which can be regarded as a long-cherished wish of the minister, and he will die without regrets! β
Nangong Ke looked at the trembling voice and exuded a sincere Ma County Order, smiled slightly, and said, "So, there is Lord Raoma!" β
When Ma Xianling heard this, he was more and more energetic, and hurriedly led a group of subordinates to greet and hug the carriage, and walked towards the government office.
The banquet was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there were some rare ingredients that even Zhenbei rarely saw, so I couldn't help but smack my tongue secretly.
"Your Highness Ten, come on, Weichen will toast you again!" Ma Xianling was obviously drunk, and his tongue began to knot a little deftly.
Nangong Ke's body recovered not long ago, and he didn't drink a lot, so he used tea instead of wine when he went out, because of his noble status, others naturally couldn't say much, but in this way, it was bitter for the people who accompanied him.
Zhenbei picked out some favorite meals, and after eating and drinking, she left the noisy banquet.
As soon as she stepped out of her front foot, Princess Koya followed.
"Zhenbei, you are so deceitful, you plan to leave secretly, and you don't call me!" Princess Keya pouted and said.
"I saw that you were eating well, so I didn't greet you, besides, you and I have left, and it doesn't seem good to leave His Royal Highness Ten there alone!" Zhen Bei smiled.
"Humph! This princess has already eaten it, but the plate of shredded shrimp is so delicious that she can't help but eat a few more! Princess Keya smacked her lips, as if she was still a little unsatisfied, "I didn't expect that this small county town would also hide dragons and dragons, and it would be able to invite someone with such superb cooking skills!" β
Zhen Bei smiled and said nothing, she remembered that when she came to this mansion, she caught a glimpse of a garden, and her brain was a little swollen with the smell of wine, it must be a good place to relax, so she thought about it, she roughly remembered the direction of the place, and strode towards it.
Although Princess Keya didn't know where she wanted to go, she followed without hesitation, and still chattered endlessly: "His Royal Highness Ten is now the protagonist of the banquet, everyone is arguing, and I am afraid that he will be neglected!" Zhenbei, there are so many bushes here, will there be snakes? Hey, wait for me! β
Zhen Bei had already smelled the fragrance of flowers, and her footsteps did not decrease but increased, and she secretly calculated in her heart: After this corner, and then through an arch, she should have arrived!
She only cared about what she was thinking, and almost collided with a little maid at the corner of the corridor.
The little maid carried a lantern in her hand, and after recognizing that the person she had hit was the lord's honored guest, she was frightened and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Zhen Bei helped her up and said with a smile: "You can't be blamed for this matter, but it is caused by the absent-mindedness of this son, and the person who wants to apologize is below!" β
The little maid saw her smiling and smiling, she really didn't mean to blame, knowing that she had met someone who was reasonable, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and still said: "Thank you, son!" β
Zhen Bei saw that she had nothing else in her hand except the lantern, and it didn't look like she was doing something for her master, and said, "The girl has a task right now?" β
The little maid shook her head and said: "Back to the young lady, the slave maid is specially responsible for grooming the young lady, and now the young lady has fallen asleep, and the slave and maid have run an errand today, and are planning to go back to the residence to rest!" I don't know what the son commands, the slave is willing to do it for him! β
"I see! My son passed by here during the day and found that there was a garden planted with strange flowers and flowers in the mansion. Zhenbei asked.
In the end, it would be rude to go out and wander around without the permission of the owner, and if you accidentally trespass into the forbidden place of others!
