The night was as dark as ink.

Xing Ruyi tightened her cloak and stepped out of the carriage. As far as the eye can see, there is only a lonely house, and it seems that it is also a bit old. The gate, like the lacquer of new oil, exudes a smoky smell in the dark night, and two lanterns with the word "cloud" written on it swayed gently in the spring breeze.

Here, it's not Shen Zhai.

Xing Ruyi looked at Yunzhu's personal maid, the maid lowered her eyebrows and smiled, raised her hand and said, "Shopkeeper, please!" ”

"Where is your wife?"

"Yes!" The maid nodded in response: "This is my Yun family's garden, and it is also one of the dowries given to my wife by the master of the Yun family when my wife got married." In previous years, only when the lady was in a bad mood, would she come to stay for a while. The shopkeeper doesn't look at this small courtyard is a little simple, but someone cleans and takes care of it every day, so it's quite clean. ”

"That's not what I'm asking."

"Oh." The maid sighed softly and continued: "The shopkeeper wants to ask why my wife chose this place, right?" Actually, it's nothing. This kind of thing, not only my wife, but you, who are only afraid of the torture shopkeeper, don't want outsiders to know? This is my Yun family's own property, after my wife got married, it was owned by my wife, and the people who were waiting in it were also our Yun family's own people, and it was more convenient to do things than the other places.

In addition, we have already prepared everything that the shopkeeper had ordered to prepare. The courtyard is dark, and the shopkeeper is asked to follow the slave and maid, if it is bumped, it is not the slave and the maid. ”

The maid said, walked to the door, stretched out her hand and knocked lightly twice. The door squeaked open, and half of her face poked out of it, an elderly grandmother, with a wrinkled face, showing a bit of sharpness. Look, it's not a good stubble. Fortunately, Xing Ruyi did not come alone. She exchanged glances with the fox and walked up the first step in front of the door.

The grandmother stared at Xing Ruyi for a moment with a pair of cold eyes, and asked Yunzhu's personal maid: "Is that her?" ”

Yun Zhu nodded, and leaned to the side: "Let me introduce, this is the shopkeeper of the Ruyi Rouge Shop, the shopkeeper of the Ruyi Torture." This is the old man of our Yun family, and she is also the nurse who has watched her grow up with her wife since she was a child. After the lady got married, she took care of everything in the garden. The nurse has been widowed for many years, and since her wife got married, she has spoken less and less. If there is anything inappropriate in the words, please don't take it to heart to the treasurer. ”

Hearing this, Mama nodded to Xing Ruyi and opened the door.

Xing Ruyi also nodded in response, but said to the fox in his heart: "No wonder that Yunzhu is a little unpleasant, it turns out that he learned from this nurse." From this point of view, this Yunzhu's life in the Yun family is really as Yun Xi said, and it is indeed not favored. Otherwise, how could the Yun family be taught by the nurse to be like that. ”

The fox didn't respond, but only stepped forward, took Xing Ruyi's hand, and whispered, "Be careful, watch the road under your feet." ”

Xing Ruyi curled the corners of her mouth, let the fox be half a step faster than her, and took her hand and walked into the house.

The maid carried a lantern to the head, and the grandmother who was in charge of opening the door carried another lantern behind the hall. Occasionally, a breeze passed through the courtyard, and the lanterns of the two men were blown and swayed, and the rustle of the wind could be heard from time to time.

"Do you have to walk for a long time?" Although he didn't know the layout of the courtyard, Xing Ruyi obviously felt that the maid who was responsible for leading the way was deliberately detouring in the courtyard. She tugged at the fox's hand, yawned, and said half-coquettishly: "I'm tired!" If you have to walk for a long time, you might as well come back another day. ”

"What does the shopkeeper mean by that?" The maid stopped and glanced back at Xing Ruyi. "Since it is a matter of agreement, how can the shopkeeper temporarily regret it for his own reasons."

"Since your wife can't trust me, why should I waste all this energy." Xing Ruyi said, leaning on the fox, and continued to yawn: "Your wife said that she was not willing to be healed in my rouge shop, as a doctor, I agreed; Your wife said that she was not willing to heal in the daytime, for fear that she would see something that scared her, and I agreed; Your wife said that it was up to her to choose the time and place of the healing, and I agreed. In the middle of the night, my future husband and I traveled thousands of miles, at least we ran dozens of miles at night and arrived here, but your wife still asked you to take us around this yard in circles and play hide and seek. To be honest, I don't have the interest, let alone the interest. ”

"Where is the criminal treasurer?" Seeing that the intention was exposed, the maid's face obviously became not very good-looking. She lowered her head and exchanged a look with the grandmother opposite, followed by an embarrassed smile, and explained: "It's not that the slave maid deliberately took the shopkeeper's detour, it's just that the slave maid of this other garden didn't come much in the past, and it was at night, so it was inevitable that they would go the wrong way." In this way, it is up to you to lead the way. The slave maid thought, Madame's side is afraid that she will have to wait in a hurry. ”

"Then let the old slave lead the way! Although the old slave's eyes are not very good, this yard has been cared for for many years, and the road will not fork. Mama said, carrying the lantern and walking ahead.

Xing Ruyi just wanted to follow, but suddenly heard a woman's wailing voice in her ears, she stopped and exchanged a look with the fox, "What is this sound?" ”

"Voice? Where is there any sound? In this deserted courtyard, the wind at night is stronger than that in the city, and I am afraid that the shopkeeper will hear it. ”

The maid said, and also carried the lantern and walked ahead, and when she was parallel to the grandmother, the maid asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"This ...... The old slave didn't know either. Mama said, leaning slightly sideways and glancing at Xing Ruyi. Seeing that Xing Ruyi was still drowsy and the fox did not pay attention to himself, the guard in his eyes relaxed slightly.

The old slave only received a temporary order from the young lady, saying that he should take these two around the courtyard for a while. Specifically, the old slave doesn't know. I guess there was something wrong with the guest who brought it. ”

The maid nodded, pursed her lips, and bowed her head to say to Mama.

"I'll go faster later, let's go and have a look. If there really is anything, find a way to hold these two back. ”

Mama hummed softly and deliberately slowed down.

Xing Ruyi looked sleepy, but in fact, his eyes did not leave the maid and the grandmother for a while. Before, the fox had asked her if she wanted to know what the two masters and servants of Yunzhu were planning behind their backs. She was curious, so she naturally wanted to know, so she responded to Yunzhu's unreasonable requests.

Now, seeing that the answer is about to be revealed, how can she really be sleepy. It's just that he can't get angry with this Yunzhu's attitude of doing things, so he deliberately pretends to be sleepy, so that the other party can also block his heart. However, at the moment, it seems that the maid and the grandmother's mind is not on themselves at all, but they are hiding from themselves, thinking about something in private, so that although they try their best to cover it up, they still see that they are worried and very uneasy.

At this moment, seeing that the grandmother and the maid bowed their heads to discuss, Xing Ruyi couldn't help rubbing his arms and asked the fox in his heart: "What is this old and young man thinking about?" Don't you want to take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to assassinate the two of us, right? ”

"Not really." The fox hooked his lips and smiled, and pointed to the house with lights not far away: "I guess they have made a mistake in their previous calculations, and they are racking their brains to remedy it now." Don't worry, just follow slowly, this drama must always follow the singer's train of thought, right? Otherwise, there is still a bustle to see. ”

"Speaking of excitement, I want to ask you, where did this Brother Chang and Yin Yuan go?" Xing Ruyi stopped: "This Aunt Deer and Master Pixiu went to buy." Brother Chang and Yin Yuan, it won't be because they are buying things, so they don't return for a long time, right? ”

"Yin Yuan is not a child, what are you worried about?" The fox took Xing Ruyi's hand again: "Don't worry, they will all come back before the wedding." ”

"Humph!" Xing Ruyi snorted lightly: "How do I think, you are hiding more and more things from me." ”

"What's the matter, it's that you think too much." The fox looked sideways at her: "Could it be that my family Ruyi also suffers from something called premarital syndrome?" ”

Xing Ruyi glanced at the fox and did not speak.

Yunzhu designated a home remedies, and it can be seen that this house has only been changed recently. With the fox by his side, he naturally had nothing to worry about, and Xing Ruyi didn't bother to study, so he took the fox's hand and stepped into the room.

There were many candles burning in the room, and it seemed that they had been placed according to the instructions of Xing Ruyi. In the middle of the room, there is a bed, and there is a snow-white veil around the bed, which is blown by the wind, fluttering and leisurely, but not as romantic as imagined, but a little gloomy.

The maid motioned for Xing Ruyi to stand where she was, checked it with the veil herself, and then withdrew.

"According to your previous orders, the torture treasurer has given my wife the medicine for sleep in advance. The slave maid had already seen it, and she was already asleep. Therefore, please also ask the shopkeeper to heal as soon as possible. ”

Xing Ruyi glanced at the maid, walked into the veil, and with just one glance, she saw that it was not Yunzhu lying on the bed. Although the size is almost the same, her appearance has been deliberately changed by the master, and even in order to prevent her from seeing it, she deliberately placed the candle far away, and arranged this heavy veil Not to mention, even the woman's face was half covered. But the other party obviously ignored one thing, even if she didn't have a ghost body, she was also a shopkeeper who sold rouge gouache, and she relied on a pair of eyes and a dexterous nose to eat on weekdays, and the taste of the woman alone was very different from Yunzhu.

"You can take a closer look, the one sleeping on the bed is your wife?"

"I am my wife!" The maid hung her head and stood up: "The slave and maid have been following the lady since she was a child, how can this master of her own family admit her mistakes." It's not too early, and please don't delay the shopkeeper any longer! ”

"Good!" Xing Ruyi responded and walked to the bed, "My knife!" ”
