Chapter 34 Joyful Events I
The house is still the same as the last time I came to live, but the hanging tent has been changed, the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei has been removed, the house has been lit with incense, and the tea has been brewed - Uncle Bai has always been thoughtful.
I used to wonder how my father and his friends became, my father...... Well, compared with Uncle Bai, he is like a monk with a pure heart and few desires. This Uncle Bai, just the concubine with a name and surname has nine rooms, but it just makes up a picture of nine beauties. Other......
My father was very cautious and serious about everything, but he was uninhibited.
His father lived in seclusion in the mountains, while he lived in the most prosperous capital.
But when they sit together, I always feel that they have something in common.
But I can't see it.
I said this to my father, who just smiled and said, "You're still young." β
Still young?
Everyone may have heard this, and every elder may have said it to their juniors.
It's still small, it's still small, and when I ask about something, I always use these two words to prevaricate.
However, I suddenly understand now that what my father said is still young, and it is indeed still young.
There are some things that you won't understand if you haven't experienced them.
Just as my father used to talk about him and his mother, I listened in amazement. I don't understand why two people look at each other and know that this person is the one they have been looking for. Father, I don't understand it either.
But now...... I seem to understand something.
Just like when I first met Wen Fei in Tujiazhuang, I can't describe the feeling at that time. It's like a lake that has always been calm and waveless, and suddenly a stone is thrown, and the ripples swing in circles, and the whole pond of water is turbulent.
That feeling, did my father say, I was still young, I didn't understand.
Something. If you don't experience it yourself, you won't understand.
I still didn't like the smell of incense, so I opened the lid and poured half a glass of water before cleaning up and lying down. Bai Quan pointed out that the little maid who came to serve me folded the tent for me before carefully withdrawing. I had never been through such cold weather before, nor had I been in such a hurry, and I could not sleep in a place like an inn, and when I lay down now, I felt that my whole body was sore, and my bones seemed to fall apart.
I slept until midnight when I heard a noise outside. There are also human voices.
"There's a thiefβ"
I heard this clearly, and as soon as I rolled over and sat up, I pulled up my coat and put it on.
It's no longer dark outside. Looking out of the window, you can faintly see a flickering fire.
I pulled my hair and pushed the door out.
The little maid also hurried out, and she was afraid that she had not taken off her clothes at all when she slept, and she just put on her jacket.
"Witch Maiden, come into the house. It's cold outside. β
"It looks like a thief."
The little maid was also a little dazed and panicked: "I'm afraid it's a little thief...... Come inside. β
"Don't be afraid."
The movement outside stopped for a while, and then someone knocked on the door.
The little maid was startled, she was not very old, she was handsome, and she looked trembling like a frightened rabbit.
"Go open the door, it's all right. I guess it's Uncle Quan. β
The little maid went over and asked boldly, and it was Bai Quan's voice outside: "Is the witch girl awake?" β
Can I not wake up after such a big movement?
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly opened the courtyard door.
Bai Quan was neatly dressed, but his hair was a little messy: "I'm really sorry to disturb the witch girl late at night." β
"Uncle Quan doesn't have to be so foreign, don't say kind words, what happened just now?"
"It's not a big deal. A thief entered the house and was discovered by the nursing home. It startled the whole house, but it didn't catch it...... Let him run away. The toss just now is afraid that it will startle the witch girl. β
"Did you lose anything?"
"I didn't lose anything." Bai Quan turned his head and glanced at it, and said, "It's not too early, so let's rest early." β
Sending Bai Quan away, the little girl's face looked much better: "Does the girl want tea?" I'm going to make another bunk. β
"No, you go to sleep first."
I looked at the door of the willow garden opposite.
The whole house was noisy, but there was no sound on the other side, no sound, no lights.
The two of us have lived in the same room since childhood, and I know that Wu Zhen is very vigilant when she sleeps, didn't she hear the movement? Is there no one who serves in the willow garden?
I thought about taking the lantern from the door, putting on my cloak and knocking on the door of the willow garden. After knocking a few times, someone inside answered: "It's coming, it's coming." β
Wu Zhen answered the door herself, and I held the lantern higher, and one side of her face instinctively seemed to be hiding from something.
"Wu Ning...... You're here too......"
I blew out the lantern and lowered my voice and said, "Let's go inside." β
Wu Zhen is like this-
Not to mention that her clothes and hair were neat, and she still rubbed cherry red rouge on her mouth.
When you go to bed in the middle of the night, even if you don't loosen your hair and take off your earrings, there is no reason to sleep with rouge.
As soon as I entered the house and closed the door, I turned my head to look at her.
Wu Zhen's gaze dodged, and finally he simply lowered his head.
"Who did you just meet?"
"How can there be ......?"
Her face was red, but she didn't admit it.
I breathed a sigh of relief and lowered my voice, "I'm not here to blame you. I don't hide anything from you, why can't you tell me if you have something? Besides, now that we are guests in someone else's house, how do we really want to make a mess to clean up? β
Wu Zhen slowly turned his head, his eyes were full of tears, and he bit his lip.
"What about the people who serve Liu Yuan?"
"I did a little bit of tricks and feet, and I slept ...... Sleepy ......"
"Who are you seeing?"
Wu Zhen rubbed his hands together: "That's it, it's a person I saw last time in Tujiazhuang." β
Tujiazhuang?
I sat down slowly on the table.
The matter in Tujiazhuang is too messy, but Wu Zhen and I are still together most of the time, and she is clear about me and Wen Fei, but I don't know when she met someone?
"That's it, that time in the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion, after you went to see the owner of Tu Zhuang, I saw him...... He was very nice......"
I just think it's a mess, and I don't know where to start to figure it out.
"What's his name?"
Wu Zhen looked at me with some hesitation.
"You're afraid I'll eat him."
"No......" her expression was embarrassed, and I suddenly thought, "You don't know what his name is, do you?" β
"No, I know." She said busily.
"What's it called?"
"Surname Shang ......"
"What business?"
Wu Zhen's expression made me want to slap her awake.
I don't even know what the other party's name is, so I made this kind of late-night tryst? If it were in our own home, it would be better to say that this is a white mansion, not our 100-yuan house!
No wonder Bai Quan's face was calm when he came to look for me just now, but what he said was so strange - this person is better than ghosts, and he doesn't know what he is suspicious of now. Not only Wu Zhen, but I, maybe my father has been involved in this matter with him.
"So, how did you meet here again?"
Wu Zhen glanced at me, and quickly lowered his head: "He is from the capital clan, I ...... When I entered the city, someone sent him a letter. β
"And what about the others now?"
"Let's go...... Gone ......."
"Did you leave when you were discovered, or were you found when you left?"
Wu Zhen was silent again.
Well, this means that the situation is worse.
I sighed and felt my head start to jump and hurt.
Why did this happen after only half a day?
Wu Zhen hid it from me so tightly - from Tujiazhuang to now, she hasn't revealed a word to me.
Why? I don't understand.
Did she tell me that I could still strongly oppose the act of beating the mandarin ducks? Even if I can't come up with any good ideas, it's better to have someone to talk about than to be bored by myself, right?
Wu Zhen asked in a low voice, "Then tomorrow...... What to do? β
"What to do?" I rubbed the corners of my forehead: "Bai Quan is a person who understands, this matter is that a little thief accidentally touched in Bai Mansion, and he didn't lose anything, but the thief didn't catch it." Don't mention it again, let's pretend to be confused. β
Wu Zhen let out a long sigh of relief.
I raised my head: "When the matter of the Japanese Wen family is over, you call the person surnamed Shang out." β
Wu Zhen showed a slight vigilance: "What did you ask him to come out for?" β
I was angry and funny: "I'm not a tiger, I can't eat him!" What are you afraid of? Anyway, I'm also your sister, I can't ignore this matter. If nothing else, I have to meet people, right? (To be continued)
