Chapter 70: Bumping
"Hurry up, hurry up, be vigilant, be careful of what you have in your hands, if you bump into it, you can't afford to lose your monthly money for a year!"
At the end of the year, every household is lively, and the same is true in Shangshu Mansion, this year because Aunt Zhuang added Ding to the house, and it should be prepared and different from previous years. As soon as they were busy, there were not enough people, so the foreign housekeeper simply bought a dozen new maids and a dozen or so small maids, and let them learn from the old people in the house for a few days and began to give them work.
"Hey, you! Hold it! "The foreign housekeeper saw a maid, and the maid looked at Miansheng, and he didn't think much about it, but he didn't see him a few times as a newcomer." What did you get and where did you send it? ”
The maid said: "It's the sachet that Aunt Zhuang gave to the eldest lady, saying that it contains a red thread from the Yuelao Temple......"
The foreign steward frowned, but didn't say anything, waved her hand and let her go.
Everyone in Shangjing knows that Wen Shangshu has a restless concubine, although she is favored by the emperor, she is unwilling to enter the palace, and she has to go to the palace to be an official. Now, no one dares to come to the door to propose marriage, firstly, for fear of humiliating the emperor, and secondly, such a rebellious woman, which family dares to marry back to be a daughter-in-law?
The maid is new, and she doesn't know much about the grievances and grievances in the house, she only wants to do her own thing, and save some silver in a few years, so that she can see a good family for herself.
The cold wind blew as if it were about to freeze. Passing by the pond, the maid couldn't help but hide in the leeward side of the rockery for a while, and she stomped her feet while sighing.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the ice of the pond shattered. After a while, a maid came out from behind the rockery, she silently picked up the sachet and walked away against the cold wind.
Wen Zhesang broke away from the waiter, and Xie Yikou took the opportunity to flip in through the window, and he was cold, and he was roasted by the silver frost and charcoal in the room, and it turned into a hazy mist.
This was the first time the two had met since they were separated outside the Imperial City. Xie Yikou was a lot haggard, but he stared at Wen Zhesang with a pair of eyes, until he was impatient, and then said: "I entered the palace last night, and the emperor said that those people were in the court, but they haven't shown their feet yet."
"This kind of thing can't be rushed." Wen Zhesang poured him a cup of hot tea and frowned, "It's you, how dare you come to me?" Those people want to keep an eye on you all the time. ”
Xie Yikou laughed, while enjoying Wen Zhesang's worries, he didn't forget to lose Mu Yin, "It's okay, I've gained their trust now, maybe when I find out who is behind the scenes, the emperor won't have any clues." ”
"Chirp!"
The little kingfisher who had just woken up was noisily looking for food in the cage, and Xie Yikou was happy when he saw it, "This white-eyed wolf, you really don't know me?" He grabbed a handful of bird food and teased him, causing the little kingfisher to peck at him angrily.
"I always thought you were too aggressive." Wen Zhesang said, "The reason why they trust you is most likely because you are the grandson of the emperor of the previous dynasty, to put it bluntly, they just want to support your bloodline." In addition, you deliberately made them believe that you had the intention of rebellion, so they trusted you. But if they find out that something is wrong, you will be in a dangerous situation. ”
"So what?" Xie Yikou asked her rhetorically, "They killed so many of my brothers, but I can only pretend not to care, and I have to pretend to be grateful to them." I don't have much patience, I just want to figure out who is behind them as soon as possible, kill him again, and avenge our brethren. ”
Wen Zhisang pursed her lips, and found that she and the mountain bandit leader had very different ideas. However, before she could think about how to comfort her, Xie Yikou lowered her head first, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to be angry with you, I just ...... I don't have the same brain as you do, and I don't know what it means to focus on the big picture, I just want to...... Avenge. ”
Wen Zhesang suddenly smiled, and was about to speak when someone suddenly knocked on the door, "Miss, the slave has come to bring you a sachet." ”
Sachet? Wen Zhesang was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked Xie Yikou to hide, and she asked casually, "Who sent it?" ”
The maid outside the door was silent for a while, and then remembered and said, "Aunt Zhuang."
At this moment, Wen Zhisang happened to open the door, and the maid lowered her head and walked inside, "Aunt Zhuang said that the sachet contains something, let the slave maid open it for you personally." ”
Wen Zhesang closed the door with his hand, "What ......?"
There was a cold light flashing in front of her, and Wen Zhisang subconsciously wanted to hide, but there was a door behind her, and she couldn't hide at all. In the flash of light, she even saw the corners of the maid's hideous mouth, as well as the pair of vicious eyes, like a person.
"Shang Nanyun ......," Wen Zhisang said in a hoarse voice.
Suddenly, with a "Zheng-" sound, a sword crossed in front of Wen Zhesang, and picked up the dagger that rushed straight to the door.
Shang Nanyun didn't expect that there was still someone in the room, she looked annoyed, but she refused to give up this hard-won good opportunity to kill Wen Zhesang. She took out another dagger with her backhand, desperately trying to take Wen Zhesang's life.
"Blind don't you see I'm still here?" Xie Yikou is also on fire, he and Shang Nanyun can be described as sworn enemies, they both want each other to die, but they can't make a move on the surface.
Hearing the sound a little familiar, Shang Nanyun couldn't help but look back, she was stunned when she saw her, and she didn't realize that she was stabbed by Xie Yikou. "Y-you?" Her gaze wandered over the two of them in horror, and suddenly, she understood everything.
"I see! So that's it! Wen Zhesang, you are really a good means! And you, Xie Yikou, you lied to us all! Hahaha, okay, I'll let you go down to the Yellow Spring together today! ”
The fight in the house was endless, Xie Yikou slapped the door and pushed Wen Zhisang out, Shang Nanyun was about to chase after him when he saw this, but Xie Yikou dragged him back by the collar.
"Someone!" Shang Nanyun heard Wen Zhesang's voice coming from outside, followed by the shouts of the maid and the footsteps of the guards.
She glared at Xie Yikou angrily, and her attack was fatal everywhere, "You care about her so much?" But she just treats you as a pawn, you look at her, she abandons you at a critical moment, and she doesn't care if you live or die. Why are you so stupid? As long as you cooperate with the adults in peace, and you become the emperor in the future, is there anyone in the world who you can't get? I really look down on you! ”
"Joke, why should I care if a dead man doesn't look up to me?" Xie Yikou dragged her with ease, and the moment before the guards pushed the door in, he was able to put away his sword and turn sideways out of the window, hiding himself tightly.
The window was wide open, and Shang Nanyun cursed and wanted to escape, when the guards broke down the door and shouted, "Catch her!"
Even though Shang Nanyun was as slippery as a loach, he also looked stumbling in this cramped room, and his back was under attack. In particular, it was Wen Yan who was responsible for Wen Zhesang's safety, and after a short time, they took down Shang Nanyun.
"Wen Zhesan! Today, I am not as good as others and cannot avenge my father and brother, I am dead, and I will curse you for not dying well! ”
Wen Yan glanced at the window and asked someone to block Shang Nanyun's mouth, he walked out of the door and asked Wen Zhesang: "Miss, you escaped alone, do you want to chase after you?"
Wen Zhesang shook his head: "You remember, there is only one person who came to assassinate me today, and she failed to assassinate me, and committed suicide in fear of sin."
The cold wind blew the corners of her eyes a little, and then she wrapped the cloak that Dongyue brought and left the land of right and wrong without looking back.
Shangshu Mansion was happily preparing for the New Year's Festival, and on the other hand, he was worried about the assassination of his eldest daughter. Although the woman who assassinated was from outside the mansion, she was able to enter the inner courtyard to assassinate without a sound, which shows that the guards in the mansion are not in place.
"Master, master, the concubine begs you, Mian'er is still young, he still has a great future, this time, this time it was his negligence that put the eldest lady in danger, but the eldest lady Jiren has her own natural appearance unscathed! The old man read that the concubine was the Wen family's branch and leaves, and spared Mian'er once! ”
Coincidentally, the leader in charge of the guard patrol of Shangshu Mansion was Aunt Zhuang's younger brother, Zhuang Mian. This person used to be an errand boy in Shangshu Mansion, and after Aunt Zhuang was favored, he also followed suit, and he became the leader of the guards all the way.
This time Wen Zhesang was assassinated, Zhuang Mian was inevitably punished, and even had to resist with his life. Aunt Zhuang panicked, and begged Wen Shangshu regardless of it.
"The kindness of a woman!" Wen Shangshu was quite polite to Aunt Zhuang because of his son, but he was still angry after listening to her words, "Do you know how much responsibility he has?" Today is Sangsang's fate, but if Sangsang has an accident, how do you tell me to be worthy of her mother? ”
"What to talk about is worthy of being sorry, my father has no mother in his heart for a long time, why bother talking about it from time to time and talking to me?" Dongyue helped Wen Zhesang take off her cloak, and heard her say as she entered the house, "This matter is Zhuang Mian's dereliction of duty, and the rules of the house are clearly written one by one, if he is guilty, he deserves to die." Besides, I am not the one who is in charge of the house, so what is the use of hastily finding me? ”
Aunt Zhuang cried so much that she said it well, and it was not a matter of touching her mouth, but whether Mian'er lived or died had to be decided by her eldest lady! Aunt Zhuang hated in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, she knelt down three or two steps in front of Wen Zhesang, and begged: "Miss, you have always been kind-hearted, and the concubine has never begged you for anything, but this time, as long as you are willing to forgive Mian'er, let the concubine do anything!" Even if it is to exchange the life of the concubine for a life, the concubine body will never say anything! ”
She tightly clutched Wen Zhesang's skirt, but Wen Zhesang forcibly broke her hand, "Aunt Zhuang said with a smile, don't you know what your life is worth?" It is not enough to exchange a life for a life. ”
"Then, how can the eldest lady ......" Aunt Zhuang choked up and lost her sense of proportion, she looked at Wen Shangshu for a while, and then at Wen Zhesang. She always knew that this eldest daughter was powerful, but she didn't know that the old man also wanted to give her three points. What's going on here?
"The conditions I want have to be agreed to by my father." Wen Zhisang shook a letter that he had taken out at some point.
