Chapter 200: Boiling Eagle
"What kind of people? I don't know......" Huo Roufeng muttered, her voice getting lower and lower, and soon it was replaced by the sound of even breathing.
Huo Jiuye's nap time has arrived.
Zhanhuai looked at Huo Roufeng's sleeping face helplessly, but when he looked at it, his heart calmed down.
Huo Roufeng leaned on the big pillow, her palm-sized face bloomed like a pear blossom, her sideburns and eyebrows, her thick eyelashes, her nose that wasn't straight enough but was delicate and cute, and her red lips were slightly open, and she even slept like she was smiling.
It was the first time Zhan Huai had seen Huo Jiu who was asleep, but he soon found that Huo Jiu was asleep, and he looked smaller than when he was awake.
He remembered that when he was as old as Huo Jiu, his father and eldest brother had already treated him as an adult, and Ah Quan and Ah You wanted to serve him, but they also had to sneak around, for fear of being seen and telling their father, and then he would inevitably be corporal punishment.
When he first saw Huo Jiu outside the Pick-up Hall, he thought it was a child running around on the street, and at that time he was still thinking, why are all the children in Jiangnan born with fine skin and tender meat?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were curved, like two crescent moons.
Huo Roufeng woke up after a stick of incense, since she was a child, she would sleep every day after lunch, but she woke up after sleeping for a while.
She rubbed her eyes, and was about to call someone over before she remembered where she was.
She vaguely remembered what Zhanhuai had asked her about, but what about Zhanhuai?
The room was quiet, she was covered with a brocade quilt, and Jin Douer was lying next to her boots, sleeping soundly.
She wanted to call An Hai's daughter-in-law, but suddenly remembered that she had just ordered her yesterday not to let the An family come to the courtyard casually.
But she thought wrongly, she sat up and just made a movement, An Hai's daughter-in-law came in with a smile on her face.
"Ninth Master, are you awake? The slave and maid will bring you water and wash your face. ”
Huo Roufeng shook her head, the winter in the capital was very windy, and Cai Qin told her not to wash her face outside, saying that there was no balm to wipe her face, and she would blow her face rough.
"What about Young Master Yang?" Huo Roufeng asked, she remembered, she also had a lot of things to ask Zhanhuai, and when we met today, she only cared about eating and forgot to ask.
An Hai's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Yang Gongzi and the two Geng Ye are in the back room, and Yang Gongzi specially called the slave maid to come over to serve the ninth master." ”
Huo Roufeng said: "You can serve me a pot of tea, any tea is fine, and rock sugar must be added to the tea." ”
An Hai's daughter-in-law used to serve in the courtyard of Mrs. Huo, and she knew a little about the habits of the ninth master, but she still heard of it for the first time when she put rock sugar in the tea.
Soon, a pot of hot tea was served, Huo Roufeng tasted it, the slight sweetness, not strong or light, was what she wanted.
This is indeed not her habit, but her sister recently told Cai Qin, saying that it was said by Dr. Luo that in the winter in the capital, the house is dry, and after taking a nap, you have to drink a cup of tea with rock sugar to moisturize.
She waved her hand and asked An Hai's daughter-in-law not to stay in the courtyard anymore, while she put on her shoes and tiptoed to the back room.
She could guess what Zhanhuai was doing here, and that was what she wanted to ask today.
Huo Roufeng thought that her movements were already very light, but as soon as she put her ear on the crack of the door of the back room, the door opened from the inside, Huo Roufeng was startled, jumped back a few steps, and only when she stood firm did she see clearly that it was Zhanhuai standing in front of her.
She patted her chest and said, "People are scary, they are scared to death." ”
Zhanhuai laughed: "Who is scary, if you want to come and see, just knock on the door and touch it like a thief, if I hadn't guessed that it might be you, you would have become a hedgehog by this time." ”
It's a bit of an exaggeration to become a hedgehog, but with the skills of the Geng brothers, it's okay to stab the heart.
Zhan Huai dared to bring only the two of them to the capital, and he was completely sure of them.
Huo Roufeng stuck out her tongue and asked in a low voice, "Are you interrogating the person who followed me yesterday?" I thought you were interrogated last night. ”
Zhanhuai took her hand through his sleeves and led her into the back room.
There are five rooms in the back of the house, two rooms in the hall and two rooms in the east and west, and one room on the left and right.
It's just that each room is very small, and it is a little backlit, and it has not been inhabited for some days, and it is very deserted, so even in the afternoon daylight, the house looks dark and gloomy.
Huo Roufeng shrunk his shoulders, feeling that it was colder in this room than outside, Zhan Huai saw that she was not wearing her own leather cloak, her brows moved, and her hand was slightly forced, pulling her to his side, he wanted to stretch out his arm to wrap around her shoulder and make her warmer, but his arm stretched out and put it down.
Huo Roufeng didn't notice his small movements, her attention was on the two people in the corner.
She thought that the two men had been tortured to the point that they were not human, and she was even ready to cover her eyes, but the scene in front of her disappointed her.
Not only were these two men intact, but they didn't seem to have been punished, but both of them looked so embarrassed that they seemed to faint at any moment.
The Geng brothers were eating, Huo Roufeng knew when she smelled it, this was a bun stuffed with cabbage and pork, she and Zhanhuai had just gone to eat it yesterday, and she didn't eat a bite.
But the Geng brothers ate very sweetly, in addition to the steamed buns, there were also several open oiled paper bags in front of them, which contained pig's head meat, rabbit chops in sauce, braised chicken feet and beef in sauce.
In addition, there was a steaming basin of water, in which a pot of wine was warm, and the smell of wine mixed with the aroma of meat filled the narrow space with the cabbage and pork stuffing that Huo Roufeng didn't like.
Huo Roufeng sniffed, she was actually hungry again.
At this moment, she saw a slender face among the two people huddled in the corner, staring straight at the oil-paper bag on the table, his throat moving, and he was actually swallowing.
This discovery made Huo Roufeng suddenly remembered one thing, when she was in Hangzhou, she had a yellow courtyard, specially used to raise dogs, for this reason, she also invited a dog trainer, that expert not only can tame dogs, but also falconry, according to him, the eagle just hunted, wild and untamable, but this animal can not be scolded, then you can only stay up with it, commonly known as boiling eagle.
That is to say, if the eagle is not allowed to sleep or eat, it will only be a few days before it is hungry, and no matter how wild and untamed the eagle is, it will be obedient.
Zhanhuai used this method, no wonder the two people were not injured, but they had no energy, they were tired, Zhanhuai let the Geng brothers eat and drink in front of them, eating and drinking are the wine and food that rough men like, these two people have been hard for a day and a night, not a drop of rice, even Huo Roufeng, who had just had lunch, felt hungry, let alone them.
