Chapter 408: Secret
The gate of the county guard mansion is very magnificent, with white walls and tiles, and the two stone lions at the door are even more majestic, highlighting the grandeur of the official family.
"Miss, this is it."
Xu Wei and Luo Qingluan were dressed as ordinary people, plus they covered up their complexions, and deliberately made their makeup a little ugly, Luo Qingluan looked like an ordinary peasant girl at this time. In addition to those smart eyes, there is an occasional flash of sly light, which will let those who see her know that she is different.
Because of Luo Qingluan's orders, Xu Wei has been monitoring the county guard mansion for the past two days, and along with him are Chen Dong and several brothers from the Dark Night Hall. But in a short time, they discovered something strange.
Hiding under a big tree in the distance, Xu Wei said in a deep voice: "Miss, we found that in the past two days, the subordinates of the county guard mansion have been busy at night, and there are still a lot of goods coming in and out. Although I don't know what these goods are, I always feel that something is wrong. ”
"Evening ...... Hehe, the rules of this county are really strange. Luo Qingluan smiled meaningfully.
If that's not a problem, what is? Even if you marry a daughter, there are many dowries, dowries, and all kinds of things to be purchased, so you won't be busy at night, right? This county guard is not a secret marriage, why do you want to be so sneaky and unsightly?
If it was because the county guard was worried that his property would be stolen and robbed, so he put it at night, then he would inevitably destroy his own prestige too much and grow the morale of others. If you are afraid of robbers and thieves to this point, Luo Qingluan will believe that there is a ghost.
It was daylight now, and Luo Qingluan was hiding outside the county guard's mansion, and he could see it very clearly.
Because the county guard is going to marry his daughter, the entire county guard mansion is indeed very lively, there are lights everywhere, the two big red lanterns at the door are particularly festive, and even the two stone lions are tied with red silk. The girls who came in and out were also beaming, either holding silk or carrying flower pots, as well as all kinds of porcelain, and there was everything for the guests.
On the surface, there was indeed no problem, Luo Qingluan looked at it for a while, and felt that everything was normal. But thinking of what Xu Wei said, she felt more and more that the county guard was hiding something, hiding a big secret.
"If you can sneak in and find out, then you know better." Luo Qingluan couldn't help muttering.
As she spoke, she looked at the county guard's mansion, as if she really wanted to sneak in, Xu Wei was anxious when she saw it: "Miss, don't mess around, if you are found out by the people of the county guard's mansion, it will be troublesome." ”
Luo Qingluan looked at him with a smile: "Xu Wei, with you, what are you afraid of?" ”
"This ......" suddenly grew his head, and when Xu Wei saw Luo Qingluan like this, he knew that she had already made up her mind, and it was useless to dissuade her. Rather than refusing to let Luo Qingluan venture in by herself, it is better to help her, so that she can rest assured.
Alas...... A nosy princess, he can't do it.
Xu Wei could only agree, and said helplessly: "Okay, but Miss, you must be careful, if something is wrong, I will take you out immediately."
"Ah, it's going to be fine, we'll be fine." Luo Qingluan said as he walked towards the alley across the street. There is the corner gate of the county guard's mansion, although the wall is higher, but it can't stop Xu Wei, and no one passes by, so it's more hidden.
Holding Luo Qingluan's waist, Xu Wei took her up and down to the wall, Luo Qingluan was nothing, Xu Wei was already red. When he fell to the ground, he was even more cautious, and glanced around at no one, Luo Qingluan looked back, Xu Wei looked a little helpless, and looked embarrassed, she couldn't help laughing: "Xu Wei, look at you, what are you blushing?" Afraid that Xu Lian knows? Don't worry, I won't tell her. ”
"No, it's not Miss......" Xu Wei was even more embarrassed, and he didn't know how to say it.
"Okay, we're here to check things out, I don't care, what do you care about." For this level of contact between men and women, Luo Qingluan really doesn't care about it, in her previous life, she didn't know how many intimate pictures she had seen on the street, and she didn't know how much she had appreciated the little yellow films. Even when she was reborn here, she was able to write all kinds of little yellow books without scruples, just to make money.
However, she also knew that if she didn't care, it didn't mean that Xu Wei didn't care. She knew that the people here were quite conservative, and they would not use their own standards to demand Xu Wei. After a few words of relief, he simply didn't mention it again, Luo Qingluan's eyes swept away, and he focused on the environment around the county guard's mansion.
Sure enough, Xu Wei saw her so serious, and he also eliminated the discomfort in his heart, and alertly paid attention to the movements around him. They had already come in, and if they were discovered, it would not be good, and he must be careful not to let them be caught.
Who knows, Xu Wei tried his best to pay attention, even the footsteps were very soft, watching the six directions and listening to the eight directions, and paying attention to the surrounding movements at any time. But Luo Qingluan was not as careful as him at all, he glanced at it directly, quickly judged something, and walked directly towards the front corridor.
"Miss, be careful." Xu Wei could only follow closely behind to remind.
Luo Qingluan directly quickened her pace, and pulled Xu Wei by the hand, and soon she walked to a room, pushed open the door and walked in. It's a very ordinary room, and it looks like the girl from the county watch's house lives. The quilt is neatly folded, and everything is clean, but the furnishings are very simple, a cabinet against the wall is placed with a rusty copper mirror and some rouge gouache, Luo Qingluan opened the drawer, and in a small wooden box inside are some ordinary silk flowers and silver hairpins of poor color, and the style is also very simple.
She walked directly to the bed and looked at it, flipped out a set of women's subordinate mansions on the shelf, and immediately laughed. The way she is dressed now, as long as she changes into this set of girl clothes from the county guard's mansion, she will not be noticed.
Xu Wei was guarding Luo Qingluan outside, and soon she changed her clothes and came out, and she didn't know where to turn over a set of people's clothes, and threw them to Xu Wei for him to change into. After the two of them were dressed, they looked at each other, and then at each other, Xu Wei understood what Luo Qingluan meant.
When he got out of the house, Luo Qingluan didn't hide at all, walked generously, and when he passed by a flower garden, he directly picked up a pot of palm-sized orchids in the cloister, pretending to be busy. When Xu Wei saw it, he also learned well, and held a bundle of firewood in his hand.
The two of them walked in the county guard mansion with their things, and when they met the room, they went in to have a look, and when they met the next girl who passed by, the two of them pretended to be new, retreated to the side, and waited for others to pass by before leaving, and no one found out that they had mixed in with outsiders.
Walking to a corner, Luo Qingluan was just about to pass, when she heard a faint voice in front of her, she carefully looked at it, and saw that the front was cheerful, and it turned out to be a big round. A small man-made lake, sparkling, with a few tall acacia trees planted by the lake, the pink flowers have withered, but the leaves are more green and full of life.
A girl of sixteen or seventeen, covered in pearls and emeralds, dressed very gorgeously. With a golden step on his head, a lilac floating veil on Hao's wrist fell to the ground, and he was throwing fish food into the lake, complaining while throwing it back.
"Don't worry, Miss, your adult will definitely take care of it." A girl with a fish food box next to her was constantly flattering: "This afternoon, Wu Fangji sent someone to send a new wedding dress, saying that the embroidery girl from the capital worked overtime to embroider, which must satisfy the young lady." ”
"Satisfied, you didn't see the set they sent last time...... Ugly to death! If Miss Ben wore such a wedding dress to marry the Five Princes' Mansion, what would people think? It's not Miss Ben who will be disgraced at that time! The purple-clothed girl looked unhappy, and said angrily: "I don't care, if I am not satisfied with what I sent this time, I will let my father directly dismantle Wu Fangji's signboard!" Hum! ”
The girl listened to it, but instead of persuading, she nodded: "Yes, you should give them some color to see." If you dare to perfunctory our young lady, you are disrespectful to the five princes, and you will be ...... to your future majesty."
"What nonsense!"
Before the girl's fart was finished, she was glanced at by the purple-clothed girl, and said angrily: "Dead girl, you mouth, who let you talk nonsense?" If you are heard, you will pay it back? ”
The girl also understood something, licked her face and smiled: "The slave is wrong, don't be angry, Miss." As she spoke, she glanced around and patted her heart: "Miss, don't worry, no one hears." ”
"Be careful if no one hears it, Dad said, you must not show the news. Otherwise, Miss Ben will be the first to peel you off! ”
The girl laughed, and tried her best to please: "Miss is so good to the slave maid, the slave and maid will definitely not talk nonsense." The slave maid is loyal to the young lady and only hopes that the young lady is well. If the young lady marries the Five Princes' Mansion this time, it will be a serious concubine of the Five Princes, and she will see Your Majesty! ”
She suddenly looked envious and longing: "I'm afraid that all the daughters in Jiangbei will envy Miss." ”
The purple-clothed girl was proud of what she said, and couldn't help but cover her face and laugh. The little vigilance I had just now had already been thrown out of the clouds: "Yes, I heard that the fifth prince is a graceful, handsome and chic person, although I haven't seen him with my own eyes, I have heard of some of them." And...... If the fifth prince becomes the emperor of Western Chu in the future, then I will be the queen, oh my God, I didn't even dare to think about it before. ”
"So Miss is the real golden branch and jade leaf, there is a country. Mother's style! ”
Listening to this, needless to say, Luo Qingluan and Xu Wei also knew the identities of these two people. The girl in purple is Song Qianqian, the young lady of the county guard's mansion, and as for the girl, it is estimated that she is her personal maid.
"Do you hear that, they said?" Luo Qingluan looked back at Xu Wei: "Even this Miss Song said that Nangong Chen is going to be the emperor, but I'm afraid that there are any problems that we don't know." ”
Xu Wei nodded, and was about to speak, but he heard a sound of footsteps behind him. His eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Miss, someone is coming." ”
Luo Qingluan frowned, but he also knew that it was not possible to run at this time, not only could he not dodge, but he would also be suspected. The footsteps were getting closer, accompanied by the sound of talking, and more than one person.
With a move in his heart, Luo Qingluan said in a deep voice: "Don't speak, follow me." After speaking, she still held the flower pot in her hand, walked directly towards the corner of the corridor, and walked towards Miss Song, who was feeding the fish by the lake.
