Chapter 43: Catching the Snake
Old man Yu was called to the place where Aunt Hai lived, and people were coming and going, and they were moving the things in Aunt Hai's house out of the house, so as to empty the house and catch snakes.
Aunt Hai brought a lot of things when she came, in order to regain Yan Songnian's favor, she not only took extremely gorgeous bedding, jade mats, bed tents, clothes and other things, but even brought the curtains, mirrors, incense, and even toilets and porcelain supplies from the Zhuyu Courtyard, and the house was almost emptied.
Aunt Hai wore a green dress indiscriminately, and she always felt uncomfortable, as if the snake had crawled on top of the clothes. She sat on a high stool and questioned Old Man Yu below.
"What about the two snakes last night?"
"Those two snakes are very cunning, they broke open the mouth of the cloth bag in the middle of the night and ran, the old slave looked for a long time and didn't find it, but I didn't expect this short-eyed sneak to your aunt's house." Old man Yu said.
Aunt Hai's heart was cold, and she scolded the people who were working next to her: "Hurry up and move!" ”
Yan Shuyu heard the news early in the morning, saying that there were two poisonous snakes on Zhuangzi, she came to see the excitement, and said, "Mother, there are really snakes on Zhuangzi?" Why don't we go back? ”
Aunt Hai thought about it for a while, this time she came out in order to let Yan Songnian lift her grounding and regain her favor at the same time. Now that these two goals have been achieved, and those two damn snakes have also run away, it is better to go back to the capital.
She touched Yan Shuyu's head and said, "My son, you can still see clearly." Let's go with your father. ”
When Aunt Fang Caihai was taking a bath, Yan Songnian went out. Aunt Hai asked, and the people below reported that Yan Songnian went to Yan Qingge.
Aunt Hai glared at the almond in her eyes, and commanded: "Go and call the master back, just say that I have something important to look for him." ”
After a while, two subordinates hurriedly ran over and said, "The master has a guest, and it is inconvenient to come now." Tell my aunt to wait for him to come back in the evening. ”
"I want to see what kind of guests are worth a day with the master!" Aunt Hai gritted her teeth with hatred. If she talks to Yan Songnian about this at night, she will definitely not be able to go back to the capital tonight, once the snake is not caught, won't she have to sleep with the snake, she can't take this risk.
Old man Yu instructed people to move furniture in the yard, telling everyone that snakes were very likely to get into the cracks of some furniture, and they needed to be carefully examined.
Aunt Hai listened to what Old Man Yu said to the people, and felt more and more that this courtyard couldn't stay, so she pulled Yan Shuyu and went straight to Yan Qingge's residence.
As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Aunt Hai heard Yan Songnian's laughing voice, and she seemed to be very happy.
She was angry, and without waiting for anyone to report, she pushed the door and entered, but before anyone arrived, the words came out first: "Master, where are you here?" ”
After entering the house, I saw three people in the house looking at her fixedly, in addition to Yan Qingge and Yan Songnian, there was also a young man in red sitting there.
This young man is about ten years old, his appearance is not like a mortal, and he wears a fine red gauze robe, which makes him look like a fairy. If it weren't for the fact that he was dressed as a man, and his bearing was only in a boy's family, Aunt Hai would have wondered whose girl this was.
Yan Xiu Yuding hated middle-aged and elderly women and men staring at him all the time, he glared at him, and said angrily: "Where did the old pious woman come from, what are you doing with the little master." ”
Aunt Hai was startled, bowed down and saluted: "This little boy, the slave family didn't mean it, and here I will make amends for your sins." ”
Yan Xiuyu's eyebrows were raised, and he threw a dagger with a brush, and went straight to Aunt Hai like a meteor.
Aunt Hai screamed loudly in fright, only to find that the dagger seemed to have eyes, nailed to her embroidered shoes.
"Don't get out of here yet, if you look at you more, your eyes will bleed black!" Yan Xiuyu scolded.
Aunt Hai was frightened, scolded again, and was very embarrassed, Yan Songnian didn't help her speak, so she had to blush, pushed Yan Shuyu, and said, "Shuyu, you can make things clear to your father." "Turn around and go.
Aunt Hai turned around, and before she could go out, she heard Yan Xiuyu say to Yan Songnian: "This concubine of your family is old and yellow, and the loose flesh on her face hangs down to the top of her feet, what does it mean." Don't you like the two aunts we gave you in the house? Why didn't I see the two of them waiting, but this old Diao slave casually entered the door of the house, if it wasn't for Lord Yan's face, the dagger would have been inserted into her heart. Also, when I came here, I saw two little servants on Zhuangzi, weren't they the sin slaves who stole my things last time? I see that they are doing well. ”
Aunt Hai listened to the mean words, and stumbled under her feet, almost not tripping over the threshold.
Yan Songnian was also unhappy in his heart, but how could Yanwangfu be offended, so he had to quickly smile and say: "The two aunts are regarded by me as jewels and pampered in the room." As for those two slaves of sin, they were sent to Zhuangzi early in the morning, so how could I use them? ”
Aunt Hai was scolded by Yan Xiuyu for a while, Yan Songnian didn't dare to speak, but Yan Shuyu's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, so she naturally couldn't bear it.
Yan Shuyu was angry and said, "You are the little prince of Yan?" You yourself made disrespectful remarks, insulted my mother, and said that others have no rules, and you are the most unruly one. ”
Yan Xiuyu rolled his eyes: "I don't have any rules, and I won't go to the banquet without being invited by the host." will not pretend to force people to compose poems and become famous by stepping on the heads of others. Moreover, why do you insult Brother Lie's reputation, you are such a good person, if you give it to Brother Lie for nothing, Brother Lie will not take a fancy to it. ”
Yan Songnian sighed and asked Yan Shuyu: "You went to the princess Zhuangzi to go to the lotus appreciation party, didn't your sister agree to take you there?" How did you upset the princess? ”
Yan Shuyu hurriedly coquettishly told her own father, stomping her feet and pouting: "Daddy, don't listen to this person's nonsense." ”
Yan Qingge answered coldly beside him: "Father, I didn't promise to take my sister-in-law to the banquet." When I saw her on the Zhuangzi of Princess Rouhui, I was shocked. ”
"Father, I really didn't upset the princess. I was not feeling well, but the princess sent her grandmother to send me back in person. Where was Yan Shuyu sent back by courtesy, but was warned by the two grandmothers along the way, so that she must not tell her careful thoughts about helping the Ning family's concubine plan the marriage. She guessed that Yan Qingge didn't dare to talk nonsense about it, so she dared to reverse black and white with a hard mouth.
Seeing that Yan Shuyu was still arguing in this situation, Yan Qingge only laughed at her for being amorous, Yan Songnian was a person like him, and he was as cold as a person, so he only cared about whether he offended Princess Rouhui in his tone, and he didn't take his daughter to heart at all.
Yan Xiuyu added fuel to the fire and said, "Hey, how did I hear that it was you who offended Brother Lie, and everyone was uneasy, so I brought you back." When Miss Ling mentioned you to me, she wanted to beat you to death. ”
Yan Songnian's hand shook: "Shuyu, did you really provoke the young lady in the Lingzhu Mansion?" ”
Yan Shuyu was indisputable, looking like she had been bullied, and said, "It was just a misunderstanding, and I don't blame it." She pointed at Yan Qingge, and said, "The eldest sister is also present, I don't believe you asked her." ”
Yan Songnian set his sights on Yan Qingge. Yan Qingge said leisurely: "The princess has given a gag order, I can't say it." Sister, take responsibility for what you have done wrong, will you be half glorious if you tell it from my mouth? ”
Yan Shuyu's face was pale, and she covered her face and stopped talking.
Yan Qingge refused to say what was going on, but it didn't prevent Yan Songnian from knowing that Yan Shu was in trouble at the Lotus Appreciation Jade, and she offended Lingzhu Country and Princess Rouhui, just hiding it from him.
Princess Rouhui is the princess who is in the prime of grace, and Ling Zhuguo is the commander of the Zhichong Mansion, in charge of the dispatch of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Great Zhou, which of the two mansions can he afford to provoke?
Yan Shuyu's trouble, Yan Qingge knows, Yan Xiuyu knows, I'm afraid even Aunt Hai knows, only he, Yan Songnian, was kept in the dark, Yan Songnian was suddenly furious, and he hated Aunt Hai's mother and daughter.
The atmosphere in the room was dull, until Yan Shuyu cried: "Dad, there are two poisonous snakes in my mother's house. ”
Yan Songnian is angry, where does he care about poisonous snakes or not, it is purely a deaf ear.
Yan Xiuyu turned his head to Yan Qingge and said, "You Zhuangzi are either rats or poisonous snakes, it's really weird. I took leave from my teacher today and came to catch rats for you. ”
"I didn't expect that Little Lord Yan was so powerful, and he even grabbed the cat's work." Yan Qingge exposed Yan Shuyu's long-concealed lie and couldn't help laughing.
Yan Songnian's heart was in turmoil, thinking about how to make amends to Princess Rouhui's mansion and General Lingzhuguo's mansion, he barely managed to make a smile, and said to Yan Xiuyu: "Little Lord Yan, it's rare for you to come over, it's better to ask Qingge to accompany you out for a walk." ”
Yan Qingge stood up and saluted Yan Songnian: "Follow my father's arrangement." "Led Yan Xiuyu out.
Outside, Yan Xiuyu smiled evilly and said, "You put that poisonous snake in their house?" ”
Yan Qingge booed, silenced him, and whispered: "I'm not so bad, those two poisonous snakes have been killed by my order." I just poked a hole in Aunt Hai's window paper and told her to mistake her for a snake to go in.
Yan Xiuyu said: "If I were replaced, I would definitely throw those two snakes in and bite them." If you do this, they will look and find it, and they will naturally know that there is no snake, and what use it can be. ”
"Wait and see, once a person has a ghost in his heart, no snake is more terrible than a snake. There is an idiom called the cup bow snake shadow, which is what it says. After a while, when they let their guard down, I will get two more snakes to molt and throw them in, so that they can be tortured. After Yan Qingge finished speaking, he turned to smile and said, "By the way, I'll take you to see the snake moult I found from my roof beam last night, it's so big, long and wide, it can be cut to make a dress." ”
Yan Xiuyu nodded his head and went to see the big snake with Yan Qingge, he really exclaimed twice, and even rolled up his sleeves and put his arm in to feel it.
Yan Qingge looked at his snow-white arms, remembered that he hadn't asked him about his condition in person, and said, "What's wrong with your illness?" ”
