Chapter 10: Darkness Under the Light

Hu Jiaren, who had eaten, just sat down for a while, then got up and planned to leave. When she went downstairs, her eyes swept through the lobby uncontrollably, and she didn't see the young man, so she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Come to think of it, that young man is not like an ordinary person, how could he stay in a place that is too noisy to eat. I'm afraid I'd have left a long time ago and changed to a different one.

Putting away the inexplicable loss in her heart, Hu Jiaren prepared to go to Jiang Fuzi's house. I heard that his family had served as a Xixi in the garrison mansion, so he might be able to ask about the situation.

It wasn't until the sun set in the west and twilight was approaching that Hu Jia returned to Hu's house.

In Jiang Fuzi's house, Hu Jiaren didn't know much about the situation, but Qi Jiang, the wife of Jiang Fuzi, knew a family that had some relationship with the garrison mansion, and was willing to take her to the door tomorrow to ask about the situation.

Sitting in the room, Hu Jiaren was tired and didn't want to move, and was closing his eyes to recuperate, when he heard the sound of someone coming in. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my sister Hu Liren walking in cautiously.

"Sister, you're back, what's going on."

Hu Jiaren smiled back: "Don't worry, I'm a little eyebrows, after I go to see that family tomorrow, I don't have to know some news." If it can't be done, I will go to the garrison mansion during the day after tomorrow and ask to see the garrison's wife, and if I refuse to let go, I will definitely shout about his family's concubine before marriage. ”

"will marry the garrison mansion, it must not be an ordinary family. The garrison lady will definitely not, and she lost the watermelon for the sake of sesame. In order to guard the marriage of the son, the guard lady will no longer force you to be a concubine. ”

People, once they get into the horns, what they see and listen to are all aimed at themselves.

Hu Liren whispered with a calm face: "Could it be that I am Sesame?" ”

"What?" Hu Jiaren, who was physically and mentally exhausted, didn't pay attention to what her sister just said, and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing." Hu Liren suddenly raised a smile, and said with a fixed gaze: "I believe in my sister, but my sister shouldn't be too tired." Li'er leaves first, and my sister has a good rest. ”

"Okay, there you go." Hu Jiaren was really tired, and nodded lightly when he heard this, but quickly remembered something and said, "By the way, my cousin is back?" ”

Hu Liren, who had already walked to the door, turned sideways slightly, and said in a calm voice: "My cousin hasn't come back yet, probably I'm still outside to inquire about the news." ”

Hu Jiaren sighed, you really can't just feel when you look at people. At this time, Yan Liwanken was running around for the Hu family, which shows that people are not bad.

She was narrow-minded in the past, but in the future, they will eventually become husband and wife, so let's get along well in the future.

"Well, I see, when my cousin comes back, someone will tell me." Hu Jiaren closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows and said.

Hu Liren, who was standing by the door, turned around, a face hidden in the dark, expressionless, but his voice responded crisply: "I know, sister." ”

If Hu Jiaren hadn't been too tired and asked more questions to her subordinates, she would have known that after she left during the day, Yan Liwan didn't go out until noon.

And she came back once not long after, and only went out again when she was about to return.

Hu Jiaren just sat at the table, fell asleep with his forehead propped up, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.

"Oranges." She called softly.

The orange outside heard the voice and walked in.

"Miss, you're awake."

Hu Jiaren moved his stiff body, let out a sigh and said, "Young Master Cousin is back?" ”

Tangerine shook his head and said, "Young Master Cousin has never come back, Eldest Lady should not wait, eat something and rest, and ask Young Master Cousin again tomorrow." You're tired for the day, and you're going out tomorrow, and if you don't have a good rest, you faint again. ”

This is reasonable, and even if Yan Liwan comes back and asks for the news, can she still go out and do anything on this big night?

Hu Jiaren hesitated, then nodded and said, "Then as you said, let's get some simple and light food." ”

Seeing that the eldest lady listened to the persuasion, Tangerine said happily: "Just now the second lady asked someone to send peanuts, milk and plum cheese, saying that the eldest lady said that eating some desserts when people are tired can not only relieve fatigue and make people feel better, but also relieve ......"

Hu Jiaren smiled and continued: "It can also relieve stress." ”

"Yes, it's stress relief." Tangerine smiled and responded.

The peanut and plum cheese are served in a small white porcelain cup, and the smell is fragrant, and the decoration of the plum is also pleasing to the eye.

"I'm really sensible, I know that I feel sorry for people." Looking at the dessert in front of him, Hu Jiaren said with some relief.

Tangerine is very helpless, the eldest lady is only born a tea time earlier than the second lady, but she is very old, and when she talks about her sister of the same age, it is like talking about a child.

"Miss, use it quickly, the chicken soup and green vegetable noodles from the kitchen will be delivered later."

"Hmm." Hu Jiaren also felt hungry, so he took a spoonful of the spoon and put it in his mouth. Immediately, the sweet and sour fragrance of the fruit spread on the tip of the tongue.

"Hmm, it's delicious."

Hu Jiaren, who was appetizing, finished a cup of dessert after a while, licked her lips and felt a little insufficient.

"The eldest lady likes it, so I'll have another one tomorrow." Tangerine picked up the empty cup and said with a smile: "I'll go and see if the noodles have been delivered, and the eldest lady will use the bowl of noodles later." ”

Hu Jiaren nodded, and after the orange went out, he stood up and moved his body, which was a little numb. After only taking two steps, he suddenly stumbled.

Hurriedly holding on to the table, Hu Jiaren said to himself: "It seems that I have been sitting for too long." ”

But then, even the things in front of him began to shake, and it seemed that he stepped into the mire instead of the ground, and the whole person began to sink.

What's wrong with her?

Hu Jiaren, who was groggy, felt that her heart began to numb, and then there was a burning feeling in her body. Soon, all the strength in his body disappeared, and after the hand holding the table lost his strength, the whole person fell to the ground crookedly.

Hu Jiaren, who fell to the ground, smiled helplessly, but she didn't expect that at this time, she could still smell the fragrance of chicken soup getting closer and closer.

The oranges that came in with noodles were suddenly startled when they saw the eldest lady who fell to the ground, and the noodle soup splashed out and burned her hands even more unsteadily.

Listening to the sound of things breaking in his ears, Hu Jiaren's consciousness completely fell into darkness.

"Miss!" Tangerine screams.

This day is the most chaotic time in the Hu Mansion.

Hu Jiaren, who opened his eyes again, only felt that his throat was swollen and sore, and he swallowed slightly, as if he had stuffed a handful of rough sand in his throat.

"Sister, you're finally awake!" Hu Liren, who was guarding the side, rushed over with tears on her face.

Hu Jiaren rolled his eyes and found that the light in the house was dim and there was no light, and he still hoped that it was just dawn. But her sister's words completely shattered her hopes.
