Chapter 15: Make a bet
The guards are stricter than other courtyards, and there are small stone lions on both sides of the vestibule, and the vermilion lacquer carvings are all breathtaking, and nine times out of ten it is the main courtyard of General Yi.
"This girl!" The guard next to her pointed his sword at her: "You want to find the eldest lady, you should go to the south courtyard, you can't come in here......"
"Nonsense!" Twisting her body, Feng Yue glared at the person who spoke fiercely: "The house slave named Sun Li who led the way just now deceived me, and you also want to lie to me!" This yard is so magnificent, who else can it be if it's not the eldest lady? Get out of the way, I'm going in! ”
Where can this be? Four or five guards surrounded her, seeing that she could tell Sun Li's name, and it didn't look like she was lying, so while stopping her, she hurriedly asked people to report to the South Courtyard.
Anyway, they didn't know how to do it, so Feng Yue took a look around with his feet, as if the countrymen were rushing to the market for the first time, and said in amazement: "It's really worthy of the General's Mansion, it's really beautiful." ”
The younger guard, who was thin-skinned, blushed when he saw such a disheveled girl, and asked in a low voice, "Does the girl want a dress to wrap in?" ”
"I wanted to, but you stopped me from letting me in." Feng Yue was aggrieved, a pair of eyes blinked, innocently glowing.
The guard's face turned even redder, and he whispered: "This is the general's courtyard, so the guards are naturally stricter." Fortunately, the girl only broke into the outer courtyard, and if she did, she might be shot into a sieve by feather arrows. ”
So powerful? Fengyue raised her eyebrows, and she didn't make any noise to go in, so she waited quietly.
Yi Zhangzhu and Ye Yuqing came over after a while, and seeing her like this, Ye Yuqing frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Highness, Miss Yi." Feng Yue turned around, looked at them pitifully, and choked up: "Sun Li led the slave family into the door, but he wanted to force the slave family, the slave family panicked, ran here, looked at the courtyard style, Xu is Miss Yi's residence, and came in to find you." ”
Yi Zhangzhu was stunned for a moment, and looked around: "Where is Sun Li?" ”
A house slave came over and muttered a few words, Yi Zhangzhu's face changed slightly, glanced at Fengyue, and waved someone to get his clothes.
"It's probably because the girl's identity is a little special, so Sun Li wants to be close to the girl, so he doesn't have any sense of proportion." Smiling at her, Yi Zhangzhu said, "Girl, don't go to your heart." ”
Prostitutes are so cheap and have no human rights, others can only say that people want to take care of your business, if you don't succeed, don't take it to heart, if you succeed, it's a big deal to make up some money.
I expected that this would be the result early on, and Fengyue didn't expect Yi Zhangzhu to do anything to Sun Li, and the point was not here.
"Even so, it's indeed a fuss from the slaves." Grudgingly smiled, Feng Yue said, "Can you go in and sit?" The slave family is in disheveled clothes, and it doesn't look like standing here. ”
Looking up at the courtyard, Yi Zhangzhu was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, but Ye Yuqing next to her grabbed ahead of her and said in a deep voice: "Go in, wait for someone to bring your clothes." ”
"Your Highness." Yi Zhangzhu was a little panicked: "This is Daddy's yard." ”
"Hongu knows." Looking at her sideways, Ye Yuqing said: "General Yi is stationed in Mobei, the courtyard is empty, and Fengyue can't bump into anyone." Moreover, the general himself said that he would like to come to his courtyard at any time. ”
The implication is that the master agrees, what is she doing in the way?
After glancing around with a little concern, Yi Zhangzhu was silent, and raised his eyes to signal the guards next to him to open the door of the front hall.
Feng Yue looked innocent and curious about everything, looked around with wide eyes, and exclaimed again and again: "What a magnificent place!" ”
Looking at her appearance that she had never seen the world, Yi Zhangzhu pursed her lips and snorted lightly: "Daddy's yard took hundreds of craftsmen a year to build, and it is the last completed courtyard in the entire house, can it not be magnificent?" ”
"Huh? Hundreds of craftsmen, repaired for a year? Feng Yue was speechless, and her eyes immediately showed a look of "You are bragging", and muttered in a low voice: "Grandeur is magnificent, but it is only a yard, how can it be repaired for a year?" It's not a palace......"
Yi Zhangzhu snorted: "What do you know? Every part of this yard is meticulously carved, and there is no flaw at all, which ordinary manpower can't do! ”
"Really?" Fengyue pursed her lips and whispered to Ye Yuqing, "What do you see, prince?" When the slave family ran in, they clearly saw a lot of flaws. ”
Ye Yuqing seemed to ponder for a moment, and then unexpectedly cooperated: "This palace seems to be looking at it too." ”
Yi Zhangzhu is really annoyed, he can't stand the temperament of the agitated general, and he has been held by people since he was a child, and he hasn't experienced many sinister people's hearts, so he immediately got up and said: "Since both of you say so, then Zhangzhu will make a bet with the two!" If the two of you can find a flaw in the construction of this main courtyard today, the palm beads will immediately present the high-grade hosta that you have just obtained in the mansion with both hands! On the contrary, if you can't ......"
Turning his head to look at Fengyue, Zhangzhu smiled: "Then the girl will take Sun Li as a guest." ”
Fengyue smiled dryly, what is this? There is a reward for her and the prince, and there is a punishment for her to go alone?
"Okay." His Royal Highness the Prince, who did not need to be punished, promised to be decisive: "Then start looking for it, in order to avoid collisions, the palace and Fengyue are surrounded by a guard from your mansion, if you touch something that shouldn't be touched, it's good to mention one or two." ”
In this way, it would be more appropriate, Yi Zhangzhu nodded without thinking about it, and it happened that a guard came in with clothes to give Fengyue, and she pointed at the guard: "Xiao Tang, you follow this girl, don't let her break into a place where she shouldn't break in." ”
The young guard responded with a red face, and when he saw Fengyue put on his outer robe, he led her out.
Ye Yuqing shook his fan and stepped out of the door, his gaze stayed on Fengyue's back for a long time before he walked in another direction idly.
"Did I make the wrong bet?" As soon as he left the front hall, Feng Yue muttered in annoyance: "This place has a lot of organs, and it is common to repair it for a year and a half, alas." ”
Guard Tang still blushed and whispered: "I have been guarding here for more than a year, and I have often heard people praise this place for being seamless and an excellent place to live, and it is difficult to find flaws." ”
"What then?" Fengyue didn't leave, standing in place with tears in her eyes, looking like a lost little lamb: "The slave family doesn't want to pick up Sun Li's guest, Miss Yi is embarrassing the slave family!" ”
It is a person who has compassion, especially a man with strong blood to a poor woman. Tang Guard was a little at a loss, and hurriedly comforted: "Let's look carefully, maybe there is really some flaw?" ”
Looking at him movingly, Fengyue stepped into the backyard with one foot.
"Stop!" There was a guard at the door of the backyard to stop people, and Tang Guard hurriedly went up and said: "It's the order of the eldest lady, brothers go and rest for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may come here too." ”
"This?" The guard in the backyard was a little puzzled: "The general has ordered that no one will be allowed to enter this courtyard." ”
"Are you aware of these rules, or is the eldest lady clearer?" Tang Guard waved his hand: "The eldest lady has ordered so, you can go and rest, I will guard this girl, what should not be touched will not be touched." ”
With Miss Yi behind her, it was useless for the backyard guards to say more, so they hesitated for a moment and retreated.
Feng Yue looked at it with a smile, thinking that it was better for the girl's family, the girl's family was soft-hearted, if General Yi was in the house, then she might not be able to enter this realm.
"Be careful." Seeing that she was about to walk in, Tang Guard hurriedly called out to her, and pointed to the stone lion placed at the door of the study opposite: "There is a mechanism there, you follow me." ”
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Fengyue responded, looked down at him stepping on the bluestone path in the middle of the courtyard, and followed him step by step.
"Can't you step on the dirt next to it?" The curious Fengyue baby innocently asked, "What will happen if you step on it?" ”
"It will be pierced by ten thousand arrows." Tang Guard said seriously: "The discs on the heads of the two stone lions over there are mechanisms, the soil on both sides is soft, and the buried ones are all thin lines, once you step on them, the arrows will shoot out instantly, in all directions, there is no gap to hide." ”
Indeed, except for the two stone lions in this courtyard, there is not even a tree next to it, so naturally it cannot be hidden.
A normal person's study needs such an institution? Feng Yue smiled and continued to follow in silently.
The structure of this eastern courtyard is indeed very complex, with five rooms, in addition to the study, bedroom and vestibule, there are also two guest rooms. Fengyue walked around, and Tang Guard was also conscientious, as long as there was an organ, he reminded her, so that after half an hour, she really knew everything about the traps of the East Courtyard.
"You can't go into the study, let's look for other places, right?" Tang Guard whispered.
Glancing at him gratefully, Fengyue nodded and turned to go to the guest room.
The guest room has probably not been occupied for a long time, and it is dusty, and when you open it, you can see a spider web. Fengyue was choked and coughed twice, frowned, and said, "It's dirty like this, why don't you sweep it?" ”
Tang Guard said with a smile: "Because of the complexity of the East Courtyard, the general usually does not leave people in the guest rooms of the East Courtyard, no one lives, and the subordinates are naturally lazy." ”
After sweeping his eyes, Fengyue was not interested in going in, so he looked at it casually and prepared to go back.
"The girl is no longer looking?" Tang Guard said worriedly: "Your bet ......"
"Leave it to fate." Fengyue smiled.
Yi Zhangzhu was still sitting in the front hall, and when he saw Fengyue coming back dejectedly, he smiled: "What? Throwing in the towel? ”
"The construction of the General's Mansion is so fine, the slave family is served." Feng Yue sighed: "This way, I really didn't find any flaws. ”
Laughing, Yi Zhangzhu was about to say two more smug words, but he heard someone at the door: "It's because you haven't looked for it carefully." ”
The two of them turned their heads sideways, and saw Ye Yuqing stepping into the door with a smile, shaking his fan and saying, "There are one hundred and eight flaws seen in the palace alone, Zhu'er, you are going to lose this time." ”
One hundred and eight? Yi Zhangzhu immediately shook his head: "Impossible!" ”
One flaw can be said to be careless on the part of the craftsmen, and if there are one hundred and eight, then how can they not see it?
