Chapter 4: Midnight Terror

Soon after arriving home, Sheng's mother came.

She carried a plate of white silver silk rolls sprinkled with a thin layer of white sugar.

"Taste it, I learned it from a teacher. Gu Sanniang is not here today, but she can seize the opportunity to show her hand! ”

Sheng's mother's craftsmanship still uses stealing teachers? I'm afraid that Gu Sanniang's craftsmanship was taught by her!

I picked up a silver silk roll, shook off the sugar, and took a gentle bite.

The silver silk is soft, fragrant and sweet, and the white sugar added after it is a little cumbersome.

I told me about meeting Gu Sanniang on the mountain today, but I automatically skipped the sister-in-law of the king of Beiyuan and Gu Sanniang taught me.

"Mother Sheng, that golden son, is he a powerful family?" I'm a little curious, why the concubine of the king of Beiyuan is placed in the Jin family.

"Oh, why do you ask?" Sheng's mother didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Because of Gu Sanniang!" I raised my head and put on an innocent look: "Even the county master couldn't invite her, but now she has followed Jin Dagongzi to the mountains!" ”

Mother Sheng tapped my head with her hand.

"You call other people's sisters, but you always call Gu Sanniang Gu Sanniang, why don't you call Sister Gu?"

"Sister Gu has a lot, but Gu Sanniang has only one!"

Mother Sheng seemed to be very satisfied with my answer and finally answered my question.

"The Jin family is the maiden family of Concubine Rongjia, the head of the harem today, do you say it is a powerful person?"

That's right, the concubine's maiden family is really the most powerful of the powerful.

If Concubine Rongjia is the head of the harem, what about the queen?

I voiced my doubts.

Mother Sheng looked at the big locust tree and hesitated for a long time before she spoke.

"At present, there is no queen in the harem, so it is naturally headed by Concubine Rongjia. Our Dayong, the queen of the past can only come from the Tianxi Ye family, but this Ye family has been destroyed, and no one has left anyone who has been stained with the blood of the Ye family......"

"Who is ......?"

"Okay, our Lingshui County is 108,000 miles away from the imperial city, and these things have nothing to do with us! How is this silver silk scroll, better than Gu Sanniang's craftsmanship? I see that you don't like sugar, so you won't put it next time......"

There are some things I shouldn't inquire about, so Sheng's mother diverted the topic.

But she lied.

The imperial city is away from this Lingshui County, and it only takes two days to drive the city.

Sister Xiangxiang left in a carriage, and on the fourth day, a folk envoy went to Furong Garden to report safety.

Before Sheng's mother left, she touched it. My head, in a voice so low that I could barely hear it, said, "I shouldn't have promised to let you go out yesterday!" ”

It doesn't matter if these things are horizontal and vertical, I only care about when Gu Sanniang will send me the silver.

But when the heavens are darkened, there is no trace of my silver.

Even though the bright lights of the Hibiscus Garden illuminated the alley as if it were daylight, I still hung the lantern under the eaves.

The light stretched my shadow long.

Every now and then, I feel lonely.

That's it when my grandmother was there.

I have playmates since childhood, such as Sister Dahua and the second girl in the grocery store in the alley next door; I also had my grandmother by my side, even if we didn't have much real communication between us; I have also received a lot of love, such as from Gu Sanniang and Sheng's mother.

But I still felt lonely.

There is no reason.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Gu Sanniang, and General Belly began to resist. Agreed.

The heavens and the earth are big, and the silver is big, but it can't be compared to filling the stomach.

I took off the lantern and placed it on the stove.

I don't like women, but I can cook the kitchen head and brain very well.

A piece of dough with eggs was quickly cut into thin strips by me. The oily and green vegetables in the yard during the day are scalded by boiling water and spread in the white soup bowl, and the red and bright oil and spicy seeds float on it, which makes people have a great appetite.

The noodles were tumbling in the pot, and I held the chopsticks and stirred them from time to time, and I couldn't open my eyes from the boiling steam.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~" A strange sound came into my ears.

The sound seemed to come from my body.

My back was numb, and the hairs on my arms stood up with goosebumps.

I clutched my chest and tilted my head slowly, hoping to find something, but I was afraid of finding it.

A pair of glowing emerald eyes appeared under my doorway.

I was relieved.

He looked around with the lantern and found nothing else.

It was the damn cat ancestor who came to my house and came to spring.

It stood on tiptoe, tail high, and stared at me motionless.

I raised my foot and kicked it, and it meowed twice in fright and ran away.

I quickly set up the lantern and scooped up the noodles.

Alas, this trouble, the noodles are a little too hot.

I dipped a piece of lard with chopsticks and put it in a bowl, washed the pan again, fried an egg and lay on the noodles, and sprinkled finely chopped green onions on top.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~" The strange voice came again.

I grabbed my rolling pin and prepared to get the hateful cat out.

But at this moment, a colored face appeared from my side.

Rao I recognized the face of the little fool, but I was still so frightened that I sat down on the ground, and the rolling pin slid on the ground of Sanhetu with a muffled sound.

The cat is staring at the little fool with its tail up.

Let's just say that this voice doesn't sound right, it turns out that the little fool is deliberately scaring people.

"You...... You...... What are you doing here? I covered my heart, and my mouth was so frightened by the little fool that my mouth was not good.

"Looking for you!" He was still able to answer my questions, not too stupid.

Only then did I realize that the little fool's tattered clothes had been faded and replaced with a neat black robe.

I quickly got up from the ground.

"If you look for me, why pretend to be a ghost." I muttered, but in my heart I told myself to be generous and not to deal with the disabled.

I sighed and slapped my ass. The ash on the stock, and looked at the big bowl of noodles that had just come out of the pot.

The little fool must have found a favor in me. The bean curd was robbed by him, and the wontons were also robbed by him, and now even this noodle is gone.

Reluctantly, I handed him the bowl: "Wow! You eat! ”

He took the bowl unceremoniously, but he took out another bowl from the cupboard with familiarity, and only pulled a chopstick, noodles, and a few slices of greens.

"Let's go together, I'll taste it, and get down to business with you!"

Yo ho! It's so interesting!

At this time, the concubine of the king of the Northern Plains has a clear face, how can he look like a little fool?

I quickly took the bowl, for fear that he would regret it, so I picked up the egg and took a bite first.

He stared at me, the right corner of his mouth hooked up.

"Do you want to fry again?" Although he was eating his own food openly, he stared at me a little embarrassed.

He shook his head.

I hurriedly asked, "What's the right thing to do with me, isn't it that the son of the Jin family wants to buy my Chunsheng?" ”

I can't think of anything else serious other than Harunsheng.

"My name is Qi Yi!" The little fool didn't answer, but looked at me steadfastly.

"My name is Puhe!" I nodded, indicating that I understood, and reported my proud name: "What the hell are you looking for me?" ”

"Jin Dashao has taken a fancy to you!"

I was stunned, although I understood what I said, I couldn't help but ask again: "Is he interested in me, or my Chunsheng?" ”

"Huh!" Qi Yi chuckled: "If I just fell in love with your Chunsheng, that Gu Sanniang wouldn't have made a big fuss with Jin Dashao, and I wouldn't be able to come back after being detained at this time!" ”

"The Jin family has a bunch of prostitutes in the backyard to play with, not to mention the girls who are not yet in time. A bunch of livestock. Sheng, that Jin Er is still a personal ......"

I shuddered, ashamed of the Jin family's actions, and more worried about Gu Sanniang.

"Gu Sanniang...... How is she? ”

Qi Yi touched her nose, her eyes flickered a little: "There are some words that are inconvenient to mention to you, Gu Sanniang will leave tomorrow, but she will suffer a little." You'll be fine for the time being. ”

My heart fell.

"Thank you!" I wasn't in the mood to eat the rest of the bowl of noodles.

"You believe me?" Qi Yi picked up my bowl and ate my leftovers.

I'm not surprised, his life is not good, and it is not easy to fill his stomach. Although he is old-fashioned, he is only the age of the Wang family boy at most, so he doesn't have to care much about the rules of the big defense of men and women.

"Since I believe in you, you and I have no grievances. But you, why are you telling me this? ”

"Repay the favor of a meal!" Qi Yi clenched his fist at me seriously.

Although I was still worried about Gu Sanniang's safety, I still laughed out loud.

I couldn't help but want to tease him.

So he stretched out four fingers and shook them in front of Qi Yi.

Question marks were written all over his face.

"The grace of four meals! A bowl of bean brains, a bowl of wontons, a bun, a bowl of noodles! If you want to recognize that bun, I don't follow it! ”

Qi Yi's face turned red at the speed of his eyes.

"There are people who follow during the day, so you have to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and you have to count it seriously, there is only one bun's kindness, and the other ......"

When he said that, I became serious.

"You, are you telling me the secret? Aren't you afraid that one day someone will hit me with silver, and I will reveal your secrets? ”

"It's okay, what others want to see is not that I'm stupid, they just want to see me stupid!"

Hearing him say this, my heart was tugged, and my tears fell out of my sore eyes.

I pretended to go back and get the rag and wiped away my tears.

"Don't worry, no one will find out when I'm here. Kim Lao. The second made an appointment with a talented man to hold a literary meeting, and Boss Jin was gathering people to do unscrupulous things. ”

Qi Yi thought I was scared, and didn't seem to think it was inappropriate to say this to me.

I kept a straight face, holding a rolling pin like a private school gentleman, and gently pointed towards Qi Yi's head: "At a young age, dare to say anything?" ”

He touched his head and grinned, unable to tell whether he wanted to cry or laugh.

Could it be that my stick is hitting a little too hard?

I instantly felt a little sorry.

Turning around and opening the cupboard, he took out a few pieces of sugar and handed them to him.

He waved his hand, his expression even more ugly than just now: "I'm not a child anymore......"

But I treated him politely and insisted on giving it to him: "Take it, take it!" ”

This is very similar to the scene where Sheng's mother pressed me for money during the Chinese New Year.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and after several pushes, Qi Yi finally put a few pieces of nest candy into his arms.

"I'm leaving."

Qi Yi lifted the curtain, but stopped again.

"You...... In the future, don't just go out casually! He was facing me with a serious face.

I nodded my head in a ghostly way.

He smiled in satisfaction, then jumped off the wall.
