Chapter Forty-Seven: The Other Village Outside Youzhou City
Jin 13 was sent by Jin Yu to do something else, Qu Xiaomo watched the sky gradually darken, but the lanterns in the building were exceptionally bright.
Never mind! She was reborn here for no reason, and it can be regarded as a life picked up by God's mercy, no matter what the situation is ahead, she only knows when she leaves, she is not a person who is afraid of things, and she is a good man after more than ten years, so let's prepare dinner for Jin Yu first.
Now that the kitchen was already busy preparing the dishes of the guests in the evening, she naturally didn't want to cause trouble to others, so she went outside for a walk, took out the silver and packed the meals in other restaurants, using the silver of the golden sting.
Jin Zhen tasted two mouthfuls of food, frowned, raised his eyes and asked, "This is Ji Quanzhai?" ”
"The wisdom of the great treasurer can be tasted." Qu Xiaomo naturally patted his ass
The taste of the things that have been eaten for a few years is naturally familiar, but since I have tasted Qu Xiaomo's craftsmanship, I feel that these exquisite dishes outside have lost their taste, Jin Yu frowned slightly, but still picked up the bowl and said, "Start tomorrow, you will cook my meal yourself." ”
Qu Xiaomo was silent when he heard this, so he had to respond, who called someone else his boss.
Qu Xiaomo and Jin Yu stayed in Qingfeng Pavilion for three days in a row, and three meals a day were Qu Xiaomo went to buy vegetables by himself and then came back to fry, both of them ate at the same table regardless of master and servant, because Jin Yu had a good attitude, Qu Xiaomo was in a good mood and added a plate of osmanthus cake to him every day, which was naturally okay for Jin Mo who loved to eat osmanthus cake.
At night, Qu Xiaomo slept on the bed, which was similar to when he was in Fenglai Village, but in just a few months, he didn't know why so many account books were piled up, and how could a Qinglou have so many accounts to calculate?
This question has bothered her since she started to enter the door, but she didn't dare to ask Jin Zhen, she can be skinned with her in life about eating and drinking, but she doesn't dare to say much about business matters, after all, who wants others to inquire about this kind of confidential matter!
It wasn't until the fourth day that Jin Yu finished reading the account book, and then rested and drank tea, and said to Qu Xiaomo: "Rest and rest today, and go out with me tomorrow to meet someone." ”
"Who?" Qu Xiaomo, who pinched his shoulder, asked casually
"Don't ask so much, just go." Jin said with a straight face
Qu Xiaomo pursed his mouth and answered!
After packing up the account books that day, the two went back to the mansion, and the next day Qu Xiaomo slept until dawn before waking up, looking at the sky outside, it was already very late, so he hurriedly turned over and got up, and after hurriedly washing, he ran to the courtyard of Jin Zhen, and just happened to meet him at the door, and hurriedly raised his face and smiled: "The big shopkeeper, you have to go out now?" ”
Today, she is still wearing black, even the crown of her hair is black, and she has returned to the appearance before in Fenglai Village, when she bought clothes for her in Ning County, she tried her best to avoid dark colors, and tried to pick out some cyan and gray clothes, she really looked like a handsome scholar when she wore them, and at this time she was already a high-ranking person's momentum.
"Well, let's go outside for breakfast." Jin Yu didn't blame her for getting up late, and when she saw that she was dressed neatly, she took someone out.
Qu Xiaomo followed him into the carriage, went out of the alley and came to a restaurant on the main road for breakfast, watched Jin Yu finish eating and ordered a pot of good tea, drank it slowly, and had no intention of getting up, Qu Xiaomo had to wait behind him, and sat until it was almost noon, when he saw him get up, and asked himself to settle the bill.
After paying the money, he went out and got into the carriage, only to see the carriage gurgling out of the Youzhou City Gate, Qu Xiaomo looked at the woods on the side of the road with the curtain, and asked suspiciously: "Big shopkeeper, where are we going?" ”
"Go to the lodge."
"Oh!" Qu Xiaomo lengthened his voice slightly, and nodded, what kind of incredible character is this that can make Jin Yu go out to see him in person, could it be an important minister of the court or a relative of the emperor!
The carriage walked out of the city for more than half an hour before it came to a private mountain, and walked around the mountain for a quarter of an hour before a mountain villa appeared in front of him.
After getting out of the car with Jin Zhen, another person who looked like a housekeeper bowed his back slightly to greet him, his face was covered with a layer of white fat powder, and his voice was slightly abnormal and thin, and he said to Jin Zhen: "Jin Gongzi can be regarded as coming, and the master has been waiting inside for a long time." ”
"Jin has a lot of miscellaneous things, I'm really sorry." Jin Zhen arched his hand towards him, his tone was rare with a hint of apology, but his face was still cold.
The housekeeper glanced at him but didn't dare to offend, smiled and invited him to enter the door, Qu Xiaomo followed two steps behind the two.
After entering Zhuangziqu Xiaomo lowered his head and didn't dare to look around, but he saw that the courtyard was indeed very exquisite, the building corridors were carved with different patterns, and the rockeries and stones could be seen everywhere, and the lakes and trees were also beautiful, which showed that the owner of this manor had put a lot of thought into it.
Qu Xiaomo followed the people to the outside of a courtyard, and was left outside by Jin Yu with a wave of his hand, and saw that he was respectfully led into the house by the housekeeper, and then stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking up and looking around, and did not dare to run around.
waited for a cup of tea, only to see Jin Zhen come out of it, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly followed, looking at his complexion, he was two points colder than when he just entered, and he didn't dare to look back at who the people in the courtyard were, until he got into the carriage and went out of the mountain and looked far away, he looked at Jin Zhen with slightly worried eyes and made tea for him.
Jin Yu picked it up and took a sip, looking at the forest outside and frowning, Qu Xiaomo knew that it was not his tea that was wrong, but Jin Yu's expression of always thinking about things, and he could only see it in private.
After returning to the house, Jin Zhen took root on the chair in the study again, and wrote three or four letters for people to send out, and then found that the guards in the house seemed to be more cautious, and there was no trace of Jin Thirteen for several days, Qu Xiaomo didn't dare to ask, so he could only ponder by himself, is it going to happen like the last time in the forest? But this is in Youzhou City, it should be impossible! However, you still have to be prepared, but not everyone is as good-hearted as Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang.
However, before she could get ready, people had already come to the door.
On this day, it rained early in the morning, and the rain in the morning gradually decreased, and when it was almost dark, it began to pour down, as if to wash away the autumn heat.
In the evening, after having dinner with Jin Zhen, he waited for him to wash up and sleep as usual, and he also went back to the next room to wash off his fatigue and lay on the bed, I don't know when he fell asleep.
Suddenly awakened by a chill in her sleep, Qu Xiaomo opened her eyes and saw a person standing next to her bed, stretching out her hand towards herself, so startled that she took out a silver-plated hairpin specially made by a blacksmith shop in Ning County under the pillow and stabbed at the person.
As if on guard, the man grabbed her wrist with his hand, and with a slight force but did not hurt her, he pulled her into his arms and imprisoned her as usual, and a familiar voice came from his ear: "If you don't want to die, don't move, don't make a sound." ”
Although there was no moonlight tonight, Qu Xiaomo still heard that it was a golden sting, and she was surprised and puzzled that she broke into her room in the middle of the night, but fortunately, since she came out of Fenglai Village, she has developed the habit of wrapping her chest cloth at night, and she is not afraid of being found by the golden sting, and she has just arrived at the position of her chest.
The two were silent like this for a long time, and Qu Xiaomo couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Big shopkeeper, what happened?" "It can't be its beastly hair in the middle of the night! Besides, her current identity is a man, no matter what, she is not looking for her!
Jin Zhen hugged her and felt her slender waist under the palm of her hand, her eyebrows and undetectable wrinkles, a man's waist was as thin as a woman, I really don't know how this person is long.
Someone broke into the house tonight, and he had arranged for people to wait in the house to throw themselves into the net, but somehow the figure of this person often floated in his mind, so he came to take a look, afraid that those fools would come to her by the wrong door, and she was so vigilant that she hid a silver hairpin under her pillow, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he was afraid that he would really want to see blood.
Jin Yu let go of her hand, let go of her, took two steps back to let the two of them distance a little, and then replied, "Someone broke into the mansion tonight, so I'll come over to take a look." ”
Qu Xiaomo was just about to speak again, when he heard a soft rattling sound suddenly sounded from the door where he had plugged in the dark bolt before going to bed, although the sound was very soft, it was very clear in this quiet night.
Looking up at the golden sting in the dark, he whispered to him, "Don't move." Then, as if pulling out a soft sword from his waist, he walked towards the door with light steps.
Qu Xiaomo stood on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but clench the hairpin in his hand, tensed his body and listened to the voice quietly, as if he was trying to move the hidden bolt.
Jin Zhen, who walked to the door, listened to the sound of opening the hidden bolt with a knife, and his eyes were filled with a thick coldness, and sure enough, this group of fools really went to the wrong door.
After hearing a slightly heavier sound, there was no movement, Jin Yu clenched the soft sword in his hand, waiting for someone to come in, and sure enough, after the sound stopped for half a moment, he heard the sound of the door being gently pushed, and then the first thing that caught his eye was a long sword glowing with cold light, and then a masked man dressed in black stepped into the room.
Jin Yu, who was standing behind the door, took the lead in taking out his sword, and stabbed him in the abdomen while he was unprepared, and Qu Xiaomo only heard a muffled snort, and then the sound of the sword falling to the ground and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, it was obvious that the person who had just come in had been solved by Jin Yu.
But there was not only one black-clothed person who broke into the house, and the people outside the door saw that their own people who stepped into the room first had been killed, and they immediately knew that the people inside had already known them, so they simply stopped being cautious, but kicked open the door with a knife and killed in.
Qu Xiaomo inside was so frightened that he jumped into the corner next to the bed, holding the hairpin, and watched vigilantly at the open door of the room, and several black shadows were fighting with the golden sting.
