Chapter 10: Slow Sleep
After Mei Niang finished speaking, she rolled her eyes, pretended to be weak, fell to the ground, secretly pulled down her sleeves, exposed half of her shoulders, and looked at Yan Jue with silky eyes, "Please also ask the head of the family to be aware of everything and be the master of the house, Mei Niang!" ”
Bai Ke was indifferent to Mei Niang's acting skills, feeling that it was better to practice martial arts so hard, Yan Jue showed disgust and waved his hand at Xiao Jiu.
"Pull it down! Madame will do what she says during the day! ”
Seeing this, Steward Feng immediately straightened his waist, and without waiting for Xiao Jiu to make a move, she jumped up first, stepped forward and grabbed Mei Niang's hair and dragged her out of the house, muttering in her mouth:
"It's really a bear-hearted leopard gall who doesn't have long eyes, and he even dares to go to the Xihua Courtyard of the head of the family to make trouble, and he has to die for a good life in the National Teacher's Mansion, it's really a thing that doesn't know the height of the sky!"
"What am I doing wrong!? The head of the family married his wife, and there was a housewife in the house, how could we, the concubines, have a good life!? Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to find a way out! ”
"Huh! You don't look at your face, as if you have been slapped by a cutting board, and you want to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, a pheasant is a pheasant, no matter how you toss it, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall! Come! Lock me up! ”
Steward Feng dragged Mei Niang out of the door and ordered the family to be locked in the firewood room and sold early tomorrow morning, and a farce could only end at this time. Bai Ke didn't care about this, after he was full, he got up and lifted the bead curtain, left the hall and entered the bedroom, Yan Jue's face was gloomy, seeing that his mother was silent, thinking that it was because of Mei Niang's affairs that she was angry, for fear that she would be angry, and wanted to follow up to coax her, but saw Bai Ke turn around and come back to the table, slowly put the remaining pastries in the paper bag into the plate neatly, and then took the plate away without looking back.
Yan Jue's body that wanted to move paused, turned his head and said to Xiao Jiu:
"Tomorrow, let Steward Wu invite a chef who specializes in making pastries to work in the house, the monthly money is good, the main craftsmanship must be good, and it must be in line with the taste of Mrs., in addition... Find someone to repair the roof again, and replace all the old tiles in the house. ”
"Roger."
——————
The sky is as dark as ink, and the night sky is bright and starry.
Every day before going to bed, it is best to practice martial arts, move muscles and bones, avoid food accumulation, and facilitate sleep.
Bai Ke stared at the top of the bed and thought, her hands were itchy, she missed her two short knives very much, but the people around her stared at her with two big eyes and refused to sleep, she was really inconvenient to get up and move.
"The lady doesn't sleep for a long time, but she is not sleepy? Case... It's not as good as us... Cave house, right!? ”
“……”
After Yan Jue finished speaking, his deep eyes bloomed with an unusually bright brilliance, two blush appeared on his cheeks, and his expression also rippled, as soon as Bai Jue heard this, he quickly closed his eyes and deliberately made a slight snoring sound, Yan Pu looked at her trembling eyelashes and couldn't cry and laugh, the small flame that had just sparked in her heart was ruthlessly extinguished in an instant, and she began to regret a little bit before resting and saying to her that she would never touch half of her hair without her consent.
Yan Jue finally covered Bai Ke with a quilt, quietly looked at her side face, and fell asleep after a while.
Bai Ke quietly got up after making sure that Yan Jue was asleep, changed into a black night clothes, covered a scarf with a short knife, jumped out of the back window, and got into the night. There are many houses in the courtyard of the National Teacher's Mansion, and she feels that it is possible to hide the treasure map during the day, and she will have to carefully investigate them one by one in the future, before obtaining Yan Jue's trust to find out the whereabouts of the treasure map and the elixir of life, she can only choose this way of looking for a needle in a haystack, wouldn't it be better if she hits it right, and lest she spend her days in this mansion in a drowsy.
There is a courtyard in the northwest corner of the National Teacher's Mansion that is the residence of Yan Jue's parents when they were in the mansion before, Yan Jue sent people to clean it regularly, except for Yan Jue and the people in charge of cleaning, no one entered there, it is worth exploring here.
Having made up his mind, Bai Ke smoothly rolled into the courtyard under the cover of the night, his slender limbs were extremely flexible, and he landed silently, and the family on duty outside the courtyard gate walked by with a lantern, and did not find anything abnormal, Bai Ke's sharp eyes observed the surroundings, and at the same time listened attentively to the sounds around him, not letting go of any wind and grass.
When the family members walked away, Bai Ke gently pushed open the door and got in, the room was dark, only the miserable white moonlight shone into the house through the window and fell to the ground, making the already cold room a little eerie, but this was nothing to Bai Ke, who often acted in the dark.
Bai Ke lit a candle and began to explore around, it took a lot of time, but she didn't find a place like a secret secret passage, she also rummaged through every cabinet in the room, big and small, and found no treasure map or anything suspicious that could hold the treasure map, standing in the middle of the house, Bai Ke couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
At this time, there were footsteps from far and near outside, Bai Ke's eyes sank, and quickly blew out the candle light and flashed into the darkness in the corner, she knew that it was the family in the house who had patrolled around and passed by here, she held her breath, ready to leave when the family went away, but she didn't expect that when the family went away, there was a subtle sound of landing outside the house, it seemed that someone had the same idea as her, Bai Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was solemn, like a cheetah hidden in the dark, revealing danger all over his body.
