Chapter 66: The Beginning of the Show
Nianfu, the main entrance.
Nian Yingxi stood at the door of the Nian Mansion with a cup of hot water and looked at it anxiously, stomping her feet and slandering her belly, Qianqian has been back for a quarter of an hour, but Nian Gengrong has not returned yet, what kind of efficiency is this Xuan Yuehuai? Isn't it too fast?
After a stick of incense......
Just when Nian Yingxi was about to explode, there was finally a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Nian Yingxi, who was holding the hot cup, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and jumped into the treetops of the Nianfu along the wall of the main entrance of the Nianfu.
The carriage with the Pinghu Wangfu brand passed through the night and slowly stopped at the door of the Nianfu, and the little maid on duty at the Nianfu heard the sound and hurriedly opened the door of the Nianfu.
Nian Gengrong stepped out of the carriage and walked slowly up the steps into the Nian Mansion.
As the little servant closed the door of the Nianfu, Nian Yingxi, who was standing on the treetops, turned around and jumped behind him in a few treetops, and saw that the distance was almost there, so he jumped off the treetops, pretending to have just come out of the kitchen, and walked in the direction of the gate of the Nianfu according to the same way.
The little guy who closed the gate trotted to Nian Gengrong's body and saluted, "Master, please wait for a while, and the slave will go to light the lantern to light the way for the master." Then he went to fetch the lantern.
Seeing that the time was not too early, Nian Gengrong couldn't help but stretch out his hand to stop him, "No need, I'll just walk back by myself." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and took steps.
With the night breeze, Nian Gengrong walked slowly on the path, and when he came to a fork in the road, he couldn't help but stop, not knowing whether to continue walking forward or to go to the courtyard on the left to take a look, the road ahead was naturally his own Rongbo Courtyard, and the courtyard on the left was Fumei Courtyard where An Zhimei lived.
Since the last time An Zhimei accused Wang Wanxiu, Nian Gengrong has not been to An Zhimei's yard, and it has been a while since he calculated it, in fact, he also thought about going to An Zhimei's yard to take a look, even if An Zhimei has an opinion on Wang Wanxiu, but An Zhimei has taken care of Nian's house for so many years, and he has taken care of himself wholeheartedly, he is not completely unfeeling, but he has been very busy recently, so he has not had that effort.
Or...... Going to Fukumei-in Temple? Nian Gengrong thought, and the steps under his feet moved towards his left side, but after just a few steps, he saw that it was too late, so he stopped and turned around and walked in the direction of his yard.
Nian Gengrong walked not long ago, he saw a person coming in the dark night, he stopped and wondered which yard maid had not rested and wandered in the yard, but saw that the shadow stopped at a distance of three steps from him, and said with a smile, "Why did Daddy come back?" Didn't you say that you were going to spend the night in Pinghu Wangfu tonight? β
Hearing that it was Nian Yingxi's voice, Nian Gengrong didn't want to pay attention to it, but thinking about Nian Yingxi's current identity, he couldn't help but suppress his impatience and said lightly, "The prince of Pinghu has been summoned to the palace temporarily. As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, looked at Nian Yingxi still holding the soup cup in his hand, and asked casually, "What are you going to do this night?" β
Nian Yingxi smiled and pretended to be very considerate, "Xiaoxi just felt a little empty, so she thought about going to the kitchen and ordering someone to make some supper, but I didn't want the guy on duty in the kitchen to send this contemplative soup to the second aunt, Xiaoxi wanted to have a supper a little earlier, so she asked the kitchen guy to prepare for supper, and she thought about sending this contemplative soup to the second aunt in person." β
"Concentrate?" Nian Gengrong repeated Nian Yingxi's words, and a layer of soft-heartedness was covered between his eyebrows, and he only thought that An Zhimei was depressed and couldn't sleep because he hadn't been to Fumei Courtyard.
Nian Ying was happy to see that Nian Gengrong's face hesitated, knowing that he still needed someone to push him now, so he couldn't help but continue to add fuel to the fire, "The second aunt is also considered to be a hard worker in the Nian family, but the old grandmother has always refused to help her as a wife, and the second aunt is so competitive, it is normal for people to have a misunderstanding with the old grandmother for a while, but it is just ...... Hey......" She deliberately didn't say the following words, in order to make Nian Gengrong anxious, otherwise if she hesitated like Nian Gengrong, it is estimated that when she took Nian Gengrong to Fumei Courtyard, the daylily would be cold.
Sure enough, Nian Gengrong listened to Nian Yingxi and didn't finish speaking, and wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, "It's just what?" β
"It's just that when the poor second aunt can't say her suffering, she doesn't even have anyone to talk to, which really pities the second aunt's hard work for so many years." Nian Yingxi said, taking a step in the direction of Fumei Courtyard.
Nian Gengrong watched Nian Yingxi walk past him towards Fumei Courtyard, and after thinking for a while, he also raised his feet and followed Nian Yingxi who was walking in front, he was still hesitant just now, but now after listening to Nian Yingxi's words, he didn't have any hesitation in his heart, his current thoughts have been completely changed by Nian Yingxi's words, and he is worried about An Zhimei's recent situation.
Nian Yingxi Yu Guang saw that Nian Gengrong followed, and the heart she was carrying was put down, she was just betting on Nian Gengrong's feelings for An Zhimei, if Nian Gengrong didn't keep up, she was ready to knock him unconscious and throw him into Fumei Courtyard directly, although the effect may not be as exciting as Nian Gengrong's own coming, but it was always better to be busy in vain.
Nianfu, Fukumei-in.
In the dark room, from time to time there was a reverie-inducing sound, although the sound was very shallow, but as long as you stood by the door, you could still hear it clearly.
Xuan Yuehuai, who had just dropped her feet on the eaves, frowned when she heard this voice, and her heart was clear, judging from the time when Nian Gengrong returned home, he would never come to An Zhimei to do this kind of thing so quickly, so if the man here at this moment is not Nian Gengrong, it can only mean that An Zhimei is stealing people.
Could it be that Nian Yingxi arranged this play tonight so that Nian Gengrong could arrest people? As soon as Xuan Yuehuai's idea came out of his mind, he heard two footsteps in the distance, and he didn't have time to think about it, he got up and swept out of Fumei Courtyard, and docked on a nearby treetop, although Nian Gengrong had not led troops to fight for a long time, but Nian Gengrong was born in a martial arts family after all, so he had to let Xuan Yuehuai be cautious.
Nian Yingxi and Nian Gengrong just walked into Fumei Courtyard, and they heard the graceful sound coming out of the room, listening to this voice, Nian Yingxi smiled in her heart, and looked sideways at Nian Gengrong beside her, she now really wants to see what Nian Gengrong's expression is.
Nian Gengrong, who also heard the voice, looked sinking, and his always sharp eyes flashed a terrifying cold light.
couldn't see Nian Gengrong's joy and anger, so Nian Yingxi pretended not to know anything and asked in a whisper, "Daddy, is there any voice?" β
Nian Gengrong heard her question, his face was as cold as a thousand-year-old iceberg, and he walked up the steps slowly and stood at An Zhimei's door, and was about to reach out and knock on the door, but unexpectedly An Zhimei's charming voice came from inside.
"Cousin, do you hear something outside?" An Zhimei in the room was stunned for a moment, reached out and pulled open the bed curtain, and craned her neck to look towards the door.
Wang Shengzi, who was on top of the alcohol, had long since lost his usual caution, and the thief smiled and kissed An Zhimei's face, "Cousin, don't be suspicious, my cousin-in-law won't come back today, and the old lady has already slept at this time, where can anyone come to disturb our good things?" β
An Zhimei couldn't help but let down her guard when Wang Shengzi said this, and said with a smile, "You are really getting bolder!" β
Wang Shengzi and An Zhimei's words, so that Nian Yingxi, who was standing at the foot of the steps, heard it clearly, raised her eyes and looked at Nian Gengrong who was like a stone statue at the door, Nian Yingxi was about to open her mouth to continue to stimulate him, so that he could make a move, but before she could speak, she suddenly saw Nian Gengrong raise her arm violently and slashed towards the door in front of her.
'Bangββ! The thought not only shocked Nian Yingxi in the yard, but also made An Zhimei and Wang Shengzi in the house roll from the bed to the ground in fright.
Nian Gengrong walked into the house with steps, looking at the two entangled figures rolling together on the ground, his eyes were red like fire, and without saying a word, he stretched out his perennial martial arts training leg and kicked it on the two people who were hugging each other, and directly kicked Wang Shengzi and An Zhimei from the window in the house to the courtyard.
Nian Yingxi didn't expect Nian Gengrong to have such strange powers, and was surprised to look at the two figures through the afterglow of the moonlight, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This year Gengrong is really ruthless enough, and he didn't even wrap these two people in a quilt.
Until this time, Wang Shengzi and An Zhimei didn't understand what was going on, she and the two of them only remembered hearing a loud noise, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already in the courtyard.
Nian Yingxi raised her eyes and saw that Nian Gengrong didn't walk out of the house, knowing that Nian Gengrong needed time to digest, she retracted her gaze, and walked towards the two figures, and when her footsteps stopped beside An Zhimei, she smiled extraordinarily happily, "Second Aunt is really interested, I don't know if the taste is comfortable?" β
An Zhimei was stunned for a moment, and raised her head in an instant, and when she saw Nian Yingxi standing beside her, she raised her eyes with half clear and half confused vigilance, "Why are you here?" β
"Oh?" Nian Yingxi squatted down and smiled naturally, "That's a good question, but I always think that the second aunt should be more concerned about how the two of you came out, right?" As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Shengzi's face, which was already dead.
Wang Shengzi had already felt that something was wrong when he was just brought up by Nian Gengrong, and now when he heard Nian Yingxi say this, he just thought that Nian Yingxi was looking for someone to catch him and An Zhimei, and couldn't help but quickly get up and kneel on the ground and kowtow, "The second miss has something to say, as long as the second miss is willing to let go of the small one, even if it is to make a cow and a horse for the second miss, the small one is willing." β
Wang Shengzi's plea for mercy made Nian Yingxi spurn, got up and took out the fire fold in his arms to light a spare lantern in the courtyard, and then looked at Wang Shengzi's body shaking like chaff under the candle flame, and smiled innocently, "I really don't count what I said about this, because it wasn't me who personally sent the two of you out." β
