Chapter 391: Strange Things in the Deep Mansion Compound
At dusk that day, Qingfeng came back from outside and told Zhuang Siyan that everything was arranged, and they could go to see Wen Min at night.
Zhuang Siyan asked him quietly: "Is that old thing really sick?" ”
Qingfeng shook his head: "It's hard to argue whether it's true or false, I didn't see anyone when I went in, I only heard a few words in his room, and it sounded like he was really sick." ”
Zhuang Siyan was silent for a while before asking again: "Did you send my worship sticker?" ”
"I sent it, but I was turned away, and the gatekeeper said that their old man was sick and couldn't get up, and it was inconvenient to see guests."
This is all the information that Qing Feng went to Wenfu to inquire, as for the other people in his house, it seems that people are also panicking, and they don't know what their family master should do if he dies.
Wen Min was sad in the Dasheng Dynasty.
He is now almost seventy years old, and his aunt has married not ten rooms but also eight rooms, but none of them have given him a son.
There was a group of daughters, but unfortunately at that time, in order to cling to the relationship, all of them were married to Zhuang Changyuan's sons.
As a result, his daughter's home collapsed faster than his own, and in the end he had to point to him for help.
Wen Min is indeed an old fox, when he helped Zhuang Changwu and Luo Ke to do things before, it was obviously a threesome, but he picked himself quite cleanly.
Or in other words, his ambition is not big, he just wants to live peacefully under that kind of one-sided court.
This mentality of being content with the status quo has left him a way to live.
By now, the people who have been clinging to them have died one by one, and the daughters who have grown up have either died unexpectedly, or have been sent to a barren land, or they have become slaves and maidservants of other people's homes.
The Wen family is not big, but Wen Min has been an official for so many years after all, and he still has a family business.
At present, seeing that he is going to die, this thing that has taken the effort of nine tigers and two bulls to keep, but no one has entrusted it.
If you want to say that he is not depressed in his heart, Zhuang Siyan doesn't believe it.
But what she wondered even more was that Wen Min risked killing his head to save Zhuang Changyuan's daughter, and also saved a stupid daughter of Rong Ji, why didn't he save his own child?
If he really wants to save his children, it is easier for people to understand, after all, they are their own flesh and blood, and they can't see them suffering and sinning.
What's the matter with a woman who can save others, is she really loyal?
If he is really loyal, after the dealer Locke falls, he should not live alone, right?
No one else can guess this question, only Wen Min knows it best in his heart, but it's a pity that this old thing won't say it until he dies.
Zhuang Siyan still admires them sometimes.
She has lived in modern times for more than 20 years, and since she was in school, she has heard many people say that the ancients were pedantic and stupid.
At that time, even the teachers would say this, those great generals, civil and military ministers, seeing that the country was coming to an end, would not commit treason even if they died.
There are also some that even if the master does something bad, they will guard that person until death.
At that time, she didn't understand this kind of thing either.
How changeable modern people are, what blood relatives and friends have become plastic, not to mention in front of interests, just for a boyfriend and girlfriend, they can turn against their relatives and friends.
In the eyes of many people, loyalty has found a name, fool.
Of course, there are also really loyal people, but it's a pity that Zhuang Siyan lives at the bottom, and all she comes into contact with is tearing up, so she basically hasn't seen this.
On the contrary, after crossing over, she was suddenly put in this position, and the people she came into contact with were different from the past, which made her rethink human nature.
Or everyone has their own obsession in their hearts, and for that obsession, no matter life or death, it will not change.
So what is Wen Min's obsession?
He didn't even have a son, and in the words of this era, he didn't have any descendants to inherit the lineage, but after everyone else fell, not only did he live, but he also had to save those people.
What did he figure out? Afraid of death?
It doesn't seem like it.
Zhuang Siyan thought about it while walking, until he saw the courtyard of Wen Min's house, and he didn't understand the problem, but first saw a senior member of the imperial court, coming out of their door and getting into his own carriage.
She dodged with Qingfeng and hid in the shadows, and after watching the man leave, she asked softly, "Isn't that Liu Shangshu?" What did he come to do? ”
Qingfeng shook his head: "He is now a celebrity next to the emperor, is he here to be entrusted by the emperor?" ”
Zhuang Siyan didn't believe that Ling Tiancheng would do such a boring thing, he wanted to see Wen Min, running by himself was no better than anything else, even if Wen Min was really dead, when he heard that the emperor was coming, he was afraid that he would have to trick the corpse to see him for the last time, better than others.
Besides, although he is still an official in the court, in fact, his power has long been divided, and staying there is just an idle position, which is really not worth Ling Tiancheng's excessive attention to him.
But Zhuang Siyan also couldn't figure out why Ling Tian would not kill him.
Wen Min has a lot of crimes, if you want to move him, you don't need to spend any brains, just bring one or two things out, and this old man will have to follow him back to the west.
But he's still alive and well.
There are too many problems that can't be solved, and it becomes a key object to investigate.
Zhuang Siyan and they stood in the dark for about a quarter of an hour, seeing that no one around them entered the mansion, and the gate of the Wen Mansion had been closed, leaving only a corner door on the side open for the people in the mansion to walk around temporarily.
Zhuang Siyan and Qingfeng nodded, and the two quickly approached the wall, and with the power of a tree, they jumped into the courtyard of Wen Min's house.
Qing Feng had touched the bottom before, so he took Zhuang Siyan directly and walked to the courtyard where Wen Min lived.
Wenfu is quieter than expected.
After nightfall, it is clear that everyone in the courtyard is lit up, but they rarely see people walking, occasionally walking by one or two, like ghosts, not even making a sound, and walking very fast, as if rushing to something important, and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Zhuang Siyan had never seen this kind of situation, so he looked at it twice.
As a result, Qingfeng said beside her: "These subordinates, it's the same during the day, they don't easily walk around outside if they have nothing to do, and if they have something to do, they go and come back quickly, as if there is something eating people in the courtyard of Wenfu, they would rather stay in the house." ”
"And this kind of thing? What the hell is Wen Min doing? ”
No one answered her, and Zhuang Siyan had already touched the outside of Wen Min's bedroom.
I listened to it under the window for a long time, but there was no sound in it.
It's understandable that no one is talking, but it's weird that there are people in the room and the lights are on, but they don't make a sound.
She glanced at Qingfeng again uncertainly, and said with a look in her eyes, "Are you sure he really lives here?" ”
Qingfeng nodded.
Zhuang Siyan had no choice but to turn out from behind the tree under the window, shake off the clothes on his body, and walk towards Wen Min's door.
As soon as he stepped in, he was blocked by two maids: "Who?" The lord has rested and has not seen outsiders. ”
Zhuang Siyan didn't talk nonsense with them, and with a gentle push of her hand, she pushed the two maids to the nearby wall together, and she continued to walk inside.
Qingfeng was behind her and glared at the two maids, who had wanted to stand up and chase after them again, so they leaned back again.
There was a person standing at the door of the inner room, judging from the outfit, it should be Wen Min's wife.
The face is full of old skin, and the body is wearing purple brocade clothes, and she is slightly fat, but compared with those official wives with big shoulders and round waists, it is still much better.
She looks like Fukuta at best, but the face she looks like she stands there really doesn't look very good.
The whole face is yellowish-white, as if she has been malnourished for a long time, and there are few pupils in her eyes and many whites of her eyes.
The eyebrows are sparse, I don't know if it's like this when I was young, but the few eyebrows that are left behind seem to grow upside down, and they stand up strangely.
The face is full of wrinkles, like the bark of an old tree, and the nasolabial folds are so deep that they seem to dig out their mouths.
The color of the lips is also not very good, pale and loose.
Zhuang Siyan only glanced at her, and began to really admire Wen Min.
As far as she knows, the Dasheng Dynasty is open to marrying wives and concubines, and many officials are really little wives in the same yard.
said that the wife still has that position, but in the wealthy compound, the struggle for power is no less than in the palace, and those concubines are on the top, or they are not on the throne, and there are not a few who squeeze the original wife without any power.
Like Wen Min, when he is old, he is still the original wife in front of the bed, which is indeed rare.
Mrs. Wen didn't speak, her loose lips closed together, like a crumpled piece of paper.
Her eyes looked at Zhuang Siyan and Qingfeng who broke in, and stood at the door, without letting them in, nor asking who they were.
The two sides looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and Zhuang Siyan smiled first and said: "Presumably this is Mrs. Wen, Si Mou is polite, and please ask Master Wen to say that Si Mou has something important to sue." ”
Mrs. Wen stood still, her eyes didn't move a moment, and she said somewhat mechanically: "The old man is sick and doesn't see any guests." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "Urgent matters, urgent matters related to life, and matters related to the Werewolf Valley, don't you see Lord Wen?" ”
Mrs. Wen's eyes finally rolled, and the little black pupil followed her consciousness for half a circle, and finally stopped on Zhuang Siyan's face.
Zhuang Siyan felt that the next moment, she was going to let herself in, but she heard her say: "My master is now in danger of life, and Werewolf Valley will not move to the capital." ”
I'm going, and I'm really a good hand.
Zhuang Siyan exclaimed in his heart, no wonder there was no one else around Wen Min, just this Mrs. Wen, not to mention that those concubines didn't dare to have this heart, even if they did, maybe they would have been snuffed out by her early.
But Zhuang Siyan is not one of those concubines, she only came in this way, she must see Wen Min.
So she looked at Mrs. Wen and didn't move, but her ears listened to the movement outside.
After another moment, a voice came from the inner room: "Lord Wen, it has not been windy for a long time." ”
The voice of the green wind.
He followed Zhuang Siyan in just now, and as soon as Mrs. Wen appeared, Zhuang Siyan gave him a gesture behind him, so he didn't say a word, turned around and left, and jumped directly out of the window.
Now, Mrs. Wen couldn't block the door anymore, so she turned around and walked inside.
Zhuang Siyan followed her and walked inside, and then they saw Wen Min sitting in front of the bookcase at the same time, not knowing what he was writing.
