Who died in this Zhang Mansion? ”

"I don't know."

"I heard that this Zhang Ji is also an old man......"

Overnight, like snowflakes falling, Zhangfu dyed white. The white lantern was very conspicuous on the vermilion lacquer gate, and the maid guards walked briskly in the middle of the house in white clothes. The clear blue sky was stained with a hint of melancholy. Ordinary people stopped and went, whispering. The housekeeper of Zhang's mansion explained that the old lady died last night, and Ji Lao was still sick.

Meng Yining looked at the mighty white clothes and ate a wild vegetable dumpling. "That's fine, have you sent it out?"

"Yes." The butler nodded behind him. As soon as the messenger opened the city gate, he rushed out, and when he saw that he was wrapped in plain clothes, his expression was urgent, and he knew that it was someone from Zhang's mansion, and the guards guarding the city did not stop him. They galloped down the path to find the 3,000 men who had been secretly infiltrated into the city by the Lord of Fenghua.

The news of the old lady of the Zhang family spread in the streets and alleys, and naturally the officers and soldiers also heard about it. In fact, the old lady was still guarding the house. Meng Yining and Le Yi thought of this method yesterday and went to meet them. The person who died must be a person with a head and a face, otherwise how to let a large number of people come to mourn. Although everyone felt that Meng Yining's request was arrogant and unreasonable, didn't she personally curse the old lady to die, but she still withstood it.

At that time, only Meng Yining and the old lady were left in the room, she was sitting upright, her hair was gray, but she could feel that her body was still strong. Meng Yining was slightly scared, but she had no other way than this. She stood in front of the old lady stiffly, her whole body tense, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

"Come here, let me see." The old lady looked at her nervous look, but smiled kindly.

Meng Yining moved in small steps and rubbed in front of the old lady. Her eyes were smiling, and her surroundings looked extra warm. It reminded her of her grandmother, who was also such a kind lady. The old lady looked at Meng Yining's somewhat jerky face, stroked her hair, carefully looked at her stubborn eyebrows, and said slowly: "You female doll, you are too thin, you should eat more." ”

I thought I would be scolded by someone who said nothing but solemnity, but it ended up being a soft sentence.

The old lady handed her a piece of the cloud-wrapped peanut roll in front of her: "Sweet." ”

Meng Yining nodded and bit down. The light saltiness of peanuts is wrapped in the sweet and sour aroma of hawthorn and jujube paste.

She wiped her mouth and whispered, "Old lady, this matter is offended, but there is no faster solution at present. Elder Ji and His Highness will also arrive in the city soon, and if they are in danger, no one can ......," she babbled, like a bird.

The old lady stroked her hand and said softly, "It's okay." ”

The wrinkled palm made her unusually steady. She looked at the little girl in front of her, her eyes calm. "I know what you mean, just do it."

Meng Yining's little hand was held in the palm of his hand, but he felt a strong force.

She and Le Yi stood side by side, watching the messenger gradually move away: "It is estimated that a group of people will enter the city before sunset, and they will come in plain clothes, and it is estimated that they will not do more inspections." ”

"You're too compact, but fortunately, I let the housekeeper release the news, and it was parked in the mourning hall at home for seven days before it was announced. The old lady believed that the sect in the northwest was different from most people. Otherwise, you are also prone to suspicion. "Le Yi is slow.

She gave him a blank look, "Just two days, just be deceived and pass the customs." ”

As the two men expected, when the city gates closed in the evening, people dressed in white and black entered the city one after another. Soldiers without mourning clothes wore ordinary, inconspicuous clothes and mingled with the crowd. Someone was pushing a cart, and the rice was full of weapons. Today, however, the officers and men felt discouraged, so they turned over their hasty routine twice.

The steward brought good food and drink to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, saying that in the past two days, people have come and gone, and they have been offended. Those people gladly accepted it, thinking that there would be no trouble with the funeral, and after a few days had passed, they checked it loosely. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Fenghua County Lord took advantage of this loophole and came in mightily.

Meng Yining was overjoyed, after lying in ambush for so long, he finally came up with some results. It's just that there is still an apology for the old lady in her words, "She reminds me of my grandmother, but I must be in good health, otherwise I will not forgive myself." ”

Le Yi leaned against the wall and said, "Don't worry." ”

From sunrise to sunset, the two of them watched carefully in the highest library cabinet. Although you can't see the royal palace here, you can see the castle tower at a glance. The stars were white, but a flame was born in her heart.

Those soldiers also quickly entered the role, their faces full of sadness, as if someone had really died. Some of them had red eyes, and some young men dressed as old men on crutches and walked forward tremblingly. The people of Zhang's Mansion went everywhere, and they all entered the city so smoothly.

At night, the city gate was closed, and the two went to the backyard of Zhang's mansion. I thought that only two or three hundred people would come in today, but I didn't expect that the officers and soldiers seemed to be dragging their families and mouths, and they entered the city in a pile, and there were as many as five hundred. Meng Yining thought in his heart that the remaining 2,000 people could come in more smoothly through the funeral and mourning.

They were tired, but their eyes were still bright. Some people who had seen Meng Yining in the barracks gathered around and asked in a low voice, "Miss Meng, it seems that you have arrived a long time ago." We've got a lot of sparse drags here. ”

"It's okay, I'll be in for the next two days."

The time of Gu Chongwu's enthronement ceremony has been announced, just five days later, it happens to be the festival of spring ploughing and harvest, and from the perspective of time, it is just right. "You guys have a good rest early, and you'll be busy in a few days. Your Highness needs your protection, and the county lord and the general need to be in harmony with each other. The housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion will also take care of you. There are more than 1,000 houses in the backyard building, and I will arrange everything. ”

Meng Yining looked around, someone was sorting out his clothes in the yard, taking off his camouflaged clothes, all of them were big and round, looking alive.

As the night passed quietly, she looked through the letters brought to her by her sister, and told her to eat and sleep well and pay attention to safety. Meng Yining crossed her legs, read it over and over again, pressed the letter under the pillow, and fell asleep deeply. Le Yi sat on the roof tiles, looked at the sky, felt the silent breeze, and saw that the lights in the house had been extinguished, and admired the brilliant Milky Way.

There was silence in the city, and the palace in the distance could feel the light of hustle and bustle through the high walls.
