Chapter 681: Nowhere to Run
Winter days are short, and after noon, the sun quickly turns westward.
Sunlight casts through the open window, creating a spot of light on the ground.
It didn't take long for the spot to move, and finally it was completely invisible.
The interior light dimmed.
Night soon came.
Zhuang Siyan didn't ask anything more, but took the initiative to cook, and then brought it to the main room, put it on the only table, and called the old man to come over to eat.
The futon that had been sent before had been moved to the corner by her and temporarily piled there.
Relatively silent, the dinner was over quickly.
After the meal, the old man meditated on his own bed again, Zhuang Siyan looked around, and there was no shelter in the whole room, not even a place to spread the futon.
It's not impossible to sleep on the ground, she has slept in the past, but with such an old man, in the same room, and sleeping on the floor, no matter how you think about it, it's a little inappropriate.
So she hugged the quilt and allowed her to go to the firewood room to make do with it, at least there were piles of firewood there for her to set up a place temporarily.
But as soon as she left the house with the quilt, she heard the sound of the door lock opening outside.
It was already completely dark by this time, and there happened to be no moonlight tonight, so she hid directly in the haystack and looked at the door.
The iron lock was quickly opened, but the person who came in from the outside was Han Jiao.
She walked quickly through the barren grass in front of Zhuang Siyan and walked towards the house.
At this time, Zhuang Siyan actually wanted to come out to greet her, and knew that she must have come here to find herself.
But she suddenly wanted to know what was going on between the Han family and that person, and Han Jiao was not familiar with this old man, so she lay on her stomach and didn't move.
Han Jiao soon arrived at the door, paused there for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Tie......"
Zhuang Siyan patted his chest.
I have to say that this Han Jiao looks like Erha on the surface, but she is actually really smart.
She didn't call Zhuang Siyan first, but called the old man inside.
If she opens her mouth and comes to a "queen mother", I don't know what the old man inside will think?
The old man inside answered, did not let her in, and then said, "The person you are looking for is in the courtyard." ”
Han Jiao didn't say much, and immediately turned around and came back to look at the courtyard.
Zhuang Siyan sighed slightly.
The old man's ear power is really not ordinary, although he is sitting in the room, he can hear the movement outside clearly, I am afraid that it is more effective than those who have eyes.
She came out of the wild grass, and Han Jiao had already seen her, so she hurriedly walked over.
There was no title, only asking, "Are you okay?" ”
Zhuang Siyan: "It's okay, are they gone?" ”
Han Jiao nodded: "I left just now, I'll come over to see you, can you eat during the day?" ”
"Eat, there's everything here, don't go hungry."
After a few words between the two, Zhuang Siyan said: "Since they are gone, I have also gone out, it seems that your house can't live, I'd better go somewhere else to see." ”
Han Jiao immediately asked, "Do you want to go to the detective agency?" It probably won't work there, and they'll definitely look for it. ”
Zhuang Siyan smiled: "Whoever wants to go there, isn't that self-defeating?" You don't have to worry about this, I have a lot of places to go. ”
She took the futon into the house, put it next to the old man's bed and said, "It's cold in winter, add more quilts, thank you for helping me, and give me food, we will have a time later." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Han Jiao didn't enter the house, just waited for her at the door, and when she saw someone coming out, the two walked out together.
Zhuang Siyan left the Han Mansion overnight, but it was really like a great escape, very quickly
It didn't go into the night.
Han Jiao kept looking at the direction in which she disappeared at the door, and after a long time, she turned around and entered the house.
Han Ying and Mrs. Han's eyes were already on fire in a hurry, and when they saw her coming back, they hurriedly asked, "People are gone?" ”
"Let's go, Daddy, go and rest early, it's fine."
Han Ying muttered in her mouth: "It's okay, I'm afraid that something will happen from now on, how could she hide in Lao Tie?" I don't know what the two said? ”
No one could reply to him on this topic, and Han Jiao had already gone back to the backyard first.
Mrs. Han stood in the flower hall for a while, but she really couldn't pay much attention, so she also went to the backyard.
Han Ying was left alone, looking at the lights in the room in a daze.
I don't know how long it took for the wick to burst with a "beep" before his mind was brought back.
He pinched his eyebrows, then sighed.
After leaving the flower hall, he stood at the door for a while, and finally walked towards the deserted courtyard.
Let's say that Zhuang Siyan, after coming out of Han's house, quickly found a place and changed his outfit again.
In this regard, she is handy, and there are many people outside, all of whom are strangers, and she will not be easily recognized like in the Han family, so it didn't take long for a handsome young man to go to the street.
She walked briskly, looked all the way, and finally stopped in front of a flower building.
After Ling Tiancheng succeeded to the throne, there were a lot fewer places in the capital to flower streets and willow lanes, first because of various reasons such as war, the capital was also affected several times, and people were panicked, but not many people did this kind of thing.
Later, he hated this kind of place, although he didn't suppress it explicitly, but once it was related to a place like Qinglou, he would be severely punished.
In other words, you can do it, but it's better not to have an accident, and if something happens, then there is only a dead end.
At this time, the flower building where Zhuang Siyan is located is not very large from the outside, but after entering, there is no cave.
The old bustard saw that a handsome boy was coming, and he came over to greet him.
Zhuang Siyan was also not stingy, and his shot was a small ingot, which lit up the old bustard's eyes, and he was busy saying: "Son, please upstairs, there are good girls upstairs." ”
Zhuang Siyan didn't say much, and followed her up to the second floor.
There are really a lot of good girls here, just in terms of appearance, they are much better than those standing on the street downstairs, and most of them are talented, in addition to the bed, they can also have a little artistic appreciation.
She found someone who could play the lute: "Just her, come with me." ”
The girl took her lute, and followed him back to her house.
Zhuang Siyan took out another piece of silver and put it on the table, ordered the old bustard to order the wine and food, and then said, "Don't let outsiders disturb you, I want to talk to this girl." ”
The old bustard was used to mixing in the Fengyue field, and when he heard this, he naturally understood, smiled and withdrew, and kindly closed the door for them.
The pipa girl sat down next to Zhuang Siyan and asked softly, "Does Childe want to listen to the music first, or drink first?" ”
Zhuang Siyan: "It's all right." ”
When he was done, he asked her, "Have you had dinner?" ”
The girl chuckled and did not reply.
Zhuang Siyan said: "Come, sit down and eat first, but drink less, I have something to do for you in a while." ”
The pipa girl looked up at him, and hung her head, her face flushed.
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
She's afraid she's thinking too much.
I ate a good meal, mainly because Zhuang Siyan was not hungry, so he just took this opportunity to get acquainted with the pipa girl.
After the two of them chatted through two glasses of wine, he said, "I just heard the girl play the pipa well, would you like to teach me?" ”
Pipa girl didn't
I think her request is excessive, anyway, there are few rich sons who don't have quirks, and she has seen a lot, so she won't be surprised.
At the moment, he smiled and said: "I don't dare to teach, but I hope that Yu Gongzi will use the piano to transmit the sound." ”
This is very ambiguous, but it's a pity that Zhuang Siyan is not the one who wants to sleep with her, but he learned the pipa from her very seriously.
Speaking of which, she has been in the Dasheng Dynasty for several years, and she has read a lot of books, but she has never understood anything about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of those women's associations.
Of course, Ling Tiancheng didn't want her to learn, anyway, he liked her.
But sometimes, seeing those women stroking the piano alone under the window will also bring its own beauty.
Of course, Zhuang Siyan didn't know how to learn to pretend to be forced, she just felt that she was idle anyway, so she couldn't really sleep with this girl, right?
Who would have thought that in the closed door, a boy who came to the Qinglou to have fun really learned the pipa all night.
By the wee hours of the morning, the pipa girl couldn't take it anymore, and her eyes kept turning to the bed.
But Zhuang Siyan was in good spirits, and while plucking the strings under her teaching, he also asked her all kinds of questions.
Before dawn, the girl could not bear it, and in the sound of her absurd lute, she actually crawled on the table and fell asleep.
Zhuang Siyan put down the pipa, shook his head and sighed: "It's too disrespectful, right?" Isn't it all nighttime? Why didn't you stop before you got up? ”
She got up, looked at her face in the mirror, touched up her makeup, and then straightened her clothes and opened the door.
It was dawn at this time, and those who got up early had already risen.
But a place like Qinglou was lively all night, but at this time it was very quiet, and even the old bustard who had been laughing all night went to rest, and only a few people were left guarding the door, tilting their heads and sitting on the bench behind the door.
When Zhuang Siyan passed in front of them, only one of them lifted his eyelids and looked at him, and the others had already fallen asleep on others, and saliva flowed over the shoulders of that person.
She walked out of the door, looked left and right at the streets of the capital, and then walked quickly to the horse market.
It was too early, and there was no one in the horse market at this time, and when it was daylight, she chose a good horse and rode to the city gate.
However, before he really reached the city gate, he saw that the city gate, which was usually lax, had tripled the number of people today.
All passers-by had to be strictly checked, and it seemed difficult to get out of there.
Zhuang Siyan hurriedly dismounted, found a corner to stop, and stopped a passing pedestrian to ask about the situation.
The man shook his head: "I don't know, since last night, the city gate has been under martial law, and I don't know if the king of Zhenbei called?" ”
King of Zhenbei?
Zhuang Siyan was confused, didn't he say that Qiu Gang had been beaten, and Ye Yuanpei was about to return triumphantly? Why did you suddenly come to the capital again?
She stopped a few more people one after another, and basically asked about the same situation, no one knew what happened, but all the gates of the four sides were under martial law.
It seems that it is not easy to get out, so I can only turn back and hide again.
Zhuang Siyan got back on the horse and went all the way to the detective agency.
It was the same place as usual, and as soon as the door opened, the guard saw her coming, saluted as usual, and went about his own business.
Zhuang Siyan asked him at the door, "Is the housekeeper up?" ”
The guard replied, "Inside." ”
The information about the northern Xinjiang side is transmitted to the detective agency, so as long as you ask the housekeeper, you can know what happened at the city gate.
She walked briskly inside, calling the butler out as she went.
It's just that when I got to the door of the flower hall, I didn't see the housekeeper.
Push the door in, but suddenly see another person.
