Chapter 15: Peerless Concealment

It almost ran out of breath before running out.

Out of the secret passage of the mirror flower Xie wing, Yu Qi quickly twisted the mechanism to close the secret door.

When the door was closed, Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person knelt on the ground. Thinking back to what happened in it just now, it was horrific and terrifying, if it wasn't for his own personal experience, who would have thought that this magnificent and unspeakably expensive Zhuang Mansion would have such a secret?

Flipped the bag in his hand, Yu Qi was glad that he didn't panic about it, otherwise it would be a thrilling moment. She tried to soothe the panic in her heart, and the more she tried not to think about it, the deeper she fell into it, especially the silhouette of the mysterious man standing at the stone door, haunted and lingering like a nightmare.

Now, blow out the lanterns.

Yu Qi swayed to his feet.

Out of the wing room, a glance was silvery white, and the snowflakes in front of me were scattered from the eaves and fell under my feet. Yu Qi tucked his cloak and walked out. Walk through the eaves of the porch to the mirror flower Xie courtyard. At this moment, I saw Sanxi standing on the inside of the courtyard gate, leaning forward to look out through the crack in the door, only to see her thin clothes, shaking all over, and stomping back and forth on the ground with a pair of legs and feet.

Yu Qi walked to the steps at the entrance of the hall and whispered to Sanxi. Sanxi thought she had heard it wrong, so she turned her head slightly and saw that it was her girl. She trembled with excitement, stamped her feet and rubbed her hands and trotted over to meet the lantern in Yu Qi's hand.

Sanxi said nervously: "The girl is coming out." Seeing Yu Qi's frightened face, sweat on his forehead, he said with concern: "The girl is okay?" He took Yu Qi's hand again, felt cold, and said hurriedly: "The girl's hands are like the ice and snow outside, hurry back to the house and bake it." ”

Yu Qi glanced at the courtyard door and said softly, "The wives are here?" ”

Sanxi said: "As the girl said, the wife and the girls came, and the old lady asked Sister Zhu'er to block them outside." ”

Yu Qi was uneasy: "Nothing happened? After being urged by Sanxi, the two entered the room.

Sanxi didn't agree with her, so he hurriedly went to add charcoal, and went to find the two soup women and poured hot tea into them. After pouring half of it, I was surprised that the girl needed to drink tea to warm her body, so she changed to pour tea and served it to Yu Qi.

Yu Qi looked out the window and said, "Didn't you hear anything?" ”

Sanxi had already seen Yu Qi holding a cloth bag in his hand, and pointed at it and said, "What is the girl holding in her hand?" ”

Yu Qi glanced at Sanxi and said, "If you ask you well, you will reply to me." It's getting more and more unruly. ”

Sanxi stood on his heel with a red face, and then said, "Nothing happened." I heard that the fifth girl was scolded by the third wife. ”

Yu Qi was nervous: "Why? ”

Sanxi said: "First the eldest lady came over, and the eldest girl was going to go in, and then I heard that the old lady was uncomfortable, and she was so anxious that she was like something." But there was no way, Sister Zhu'er said that the old lady had instructed, asked everyone to go back, and specially told the eldest girl to prepare for the big banquet tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Later, the second wife came, and said that she asked the second wife to help a little, but the second wife did not go in. When the third wife and the young aunt came, the eldest wife, the second wife, and the eldest girl all left. Sister Zhu'er said the old lady's words again, that is, let them go back, and the five girls were very happy to hear it, and ran away first. The third lady was angry when she saw this, and called the five girls into the courtyard to punish them for kneeling, and now they are still kneeling there! ”

Yu Qi said strangely: "Huh? Is the wife still there? Is the old lady still like this? ”

Sanxi said: "Mrs. went back early." Aunt Fengxian didn't dare to speak, so she asked Shi'er to kneel on the side with an umbrella. Sister Zhu'er and the others came out to persuade a few words, and the wife put down and said, 'Where you lost the rules, kneel and pick them up!' ’。 ”

Yu Qi hugged Tang Pozi, feeling warmer, and then looked at the snowflakes outside, and shivered a few times. She felt sorry for Zhuang Yu.

Sanxi said: "On weekdays, the third wife is easy-going, but I don't know why she is so strict today." ”

Yu Qi said: "On such a cold day, can you pay it back when you kneel in the snow?" After saying that, she got down from the kang, hung the bag containing the lantern worm on the wall, and asked Sanxi to bring another soup woman with her, and went out.

Out of the mirror, let Sanxi open the courtyard door. Yu Qi hurried to the outer courtyard of the middle house.

Sure enough, in the outer courtyard, I saw Zhuang Yu and the girl Fu'er kneeling in the snow, Shi'er holding an umbrella with a sad face, Zhuang Yu had no expression, looking straight ahead, looking proud.

It just so happened that the two big girls, Zhu'er and Mei'er, came out of Shouzhongju with umbrellas.

Zhu'er said distressedly: "Girl, get up!" The old lady is not to blame! ”

Zhuang Yu suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart, his eyes were red, and he couldn't hold back his tears after all.

Mei'er said: "Girl, you can have pity on us!" If you're still kneeling, we'll have to go in and out for a while, and you're not cold, but have pity on our little feet with thin uppers. ”

Zhuang Yu said coldly: "Didn't Mrs. just want me to kneel and let the old lady know?" The old lady knows? ”

Zhu'er bent down to help Zhuang Yu and said with a smile: "What a big deal, look at your wife's seriousness." How dare you tell the old lady that it's not to add her blockage! Get up! Don't break your knees. If you want me to say, your wife is a little harsh. ”

Zhuang Yu can't afford it.

Yu Qi smiled and groaned, and saluted Zhu'er and Mei'er, and when the two saw Yu Qi, they also hurriedly returned the salute.

Zhu'er smiled: "Girl, hurry up and persuade the fifth girl!" The skirt on the knees was all frozen and wet, and I was sick on my knees. ”

Yu Qi nodded, and quickly stretched out his hand to help Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu knelt for a long time, his legs and feet were numb from the cold, he almost didn't listen to the call, and he couldn't get up at all. Yu Qi hurriedly glanced at Zhu'er and Mei'er, and the two of them joined hands to help, and then stuffed the soup woman to Zhuang Yu.

Yu Qi said: "Come to me first!" ”

So, Zhu'er Mei'er and Yu Qi helped Zhuang Yu to enter the mirror and thank you.

When she entered the house, she asked Zhuang Yu to put on the kang head, and specially asked Sanxi to move a few quilts to cover her. Zhu'er recognized, and asked Mei'er to pour hot tea while pulling the charcoal cage over.

Zhu'er said: "The girl is better?" ”

Zhuang Yu looked arrogant, although he shivered from the cold, he didn't say a word of discomfort, and only gritted his teeth.

After eating the hot tea, a little slower, Yu Qi said to Zhu'er Mei'er: "Two sisters, don't worry, go back!" ”

Zhu'er and Mei'er took the salute and resigned to return to Shouzhongju.

Thinking that the old lady's body was not safe, Yu Qi chased out again and asked the two, "Sister stay." Is the old lady feeling better? ”

Zhu'er said: "It will be fine in these two days." Just now the fifth girl, we don't dare to report it to the old lady. Ask the girl to take care of her. ”

Yu Qi nodded, and watched the two of them appear on the camera.

Turning back to the back room, Yu Qi saw Fu'er huddled on the edge of the charcoal cage, and felt that she was pitiful, so he asked Sanxi to find clothes for Shi'er.

Rest, Yu Qi held Zhuang Yu's hand and said softly: "No one can compare with your temperament, please and please, ask and beg and don't wait to see you, but it's better?" ”

Zhuang Yucai couldn't hold back his tears and fell.

This move, Yu Qi was frightened, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" Okay. Hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Zhuang Yu, then turned to Shi'er and asked, "What's wrong with your girl?" ”

Fu'er became timid, her face was full of grievances, and she didn't say anything.

Yu Qi added another cup of hot tea to Zhuang Yu, folded the quilt for her, and said, "Are my sister's legs and feet more comfortable?" ”

Who knew that Yu Qi's care made Zhuang Jue's tears even more intense.

Yu Qi didn't know what to do for a while, and sat in front of the kang with his hands folded. I wondered if Mr. Guan and Ayu of Accord had an accident.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Yu wiped his tears and said, "Is it okay to be like this, can't my sister see it?" ”

Zhuang Yu's words were a little resentful, naturally, these resentments were not directed at himself. Yu Qi knew in his heart. After hearing Zhuang Yu's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, took her hand and said, "Then you can rest for a while, warm up, and I'll go with you." ”

Zhuang Yu nodded.

Take a break. Yu Qi looked at the pocket hanging on the wall, if it wasn't for Zhuang Yu accidentally staying here, she would have thought about going to Xifu Accord and handing over the things to Ayu.

After being quiet for a while, Zhuang Yu sighed, lifted the quilt and went to the ground, and said, "Okay." Sister, let's go! ”

Yu Qi motioned to Sanxi to add clothes and bring an umbrella.

A few people didn't say anything else, and when Zhuang Yu went out first, Yu Qi quietly turned around, took the pocket from the wall, and hid it on his body.

Unexpectedly-

Out of Zhongfu and rushed to Xifu. At the fork of the road, I saw a man wrapped in a cloak and walking from the other side of the East Mansion. Yu Qi, Zhuang Yu and the others didn't pay attention to her, but the person suddenly slipped and fell when he came to the fork.

The man snorted and trembled, and was about to get up.

Yu Qi and the others looked at it because of this.

The man also saw Yu Qi and the others, and was about to get up, so he sat down and didn't move. Seeing this, Yu Qi hurriedly said to Sanxi: "Go and help it!" ”

Sanxi answered. When he came to the man, Sanxi stretched out his hand to help, and the man was anxious to push Sanxi away.

Sanxi was angry and said, "What's wrong with you?" When my girl saw you fall, she kindly asked me to come and help you. ”

I saw the man raise his head and glared at Sanxi.

Sanxi was stunned and retreated.

This person on the ground is none other than the meaning of the Beifu Fence Bamboo Garden.

Yi Linglong said angrily: "I don't need your help, I have hands and feet." ”

Sanxi knew how powerful Yi Linglong was, even if he was dissatisfied and unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to attack at this moment, and held his tongue and retreated to Yu Li's place.

Sanxi said to Yu Qi: "It's a girl, she doesn't want to accept the girl's love." ”

When Zhuang Yu heard this, he looked deeply, hooked his eyes mockingly, and said sharply: "Yo, Miss Yi is soaked again, right?" ”

She took a step to go to Yi Linglong's side, but Yu Qi quickly grabbed her and said, "Sister, she doesn't need our help, so why should we care about her!" Let's go! ”

Zhuang Yu paused, thinking about it, he turned his head and didn't go, didn't take two steps, turned back again, and rushed to Yi Linglong quickly.

Yi Linglong was still thinking that a few people were leaving, so she got up hard, but she didn't expect Zhuang Yu to come back. Suddenly, she saw Zhuang Yu's heel skirt, which scared her back to the snow.

Yi Linglong frowned and begged: "I said aunt, what are you doing when you go and come back!" I don't need your help! I can walk on my own. ”

Zhuang Yu squinted his head and carefully looked at the dress in the exquisite cloak, and it was really soaked, so he laughed.

Yi Linglong didn't know what she was laughing at, so she raised her neck and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhuang Yu sighed and said, "It's really strange." I bumped into you twice, and you were soaked both times, could it be that your master asked you to pick plum blossoms in the snow and ice? ”

Zhuang Yu hooked his head and looked hard into the delicate skirt.

Yi Linglong grabbed the cloak with both hands and wrapped it tightly, as if there were really plum blossoms hidden in it.

Yi Linglong smiled: "If you don't say that the girl has good eyesight, you can know it at a glance." Yes, I'm just going to pick plum blossoms. I gave it to you last time, but this time I have to get some, right? ”

Zhuang Yu stretched out his hand and wanted to tease the delicate cloak: "I'll take a look." ”

Yi Linglong grabbed Zhuang Yu's hand and stared at her fiercely: "The girl is looking for something?" ”

Yu Qi was afraid of trouble, so he hurried to grab Zhuang Yu. Here, Yu Ling has his own plans, after all, he has just been in the secret room, and he has seen Yi Linglong's behavior, so he can't guarantee that Yi Linglong will also see him, Zhuang Yu is so nonsense, he will definitely be involved, and it will not end well. As for the contents of Yi Linglong's cloak, it was definitely not a plum blossom, but a bag she brought out of it.

If she guessed correctly, Yi Linglong covered the bag, which was undoubtedly full of jewelry.

Yu Qi said to Zhuang Yu: "Sister." Motioned for her to go.

Zhuang Yu refused to leave, and said, "I just want to see how many plum blossoms you have picked." ”

Yi Linglong was shivering with cold at the moment, and she wished that Yu Qi and them would leave quickly. Therefore, he didn't speak, only stared at Zhuang Yu.

Yu Qi said: "Sister, let's go!" Let's go! If you go here, the girl doesn't dare to get up. ”

The good thing about Yu Li's words is to lift Zhuang Yu, and to dig deeper is to remind Yi Linglong that she doesn't dare to reveal what she is hiding. I roughly want to take this opportunity to remind Yi Linglong of the secret room behavior, and you should pay attention to concealing.

Who knows, Yi Linglong didn't appreciate it, or didn't realize that Yu Qi found her in the secret room, and said, "Don't dare?" Who's afraid of whom? ”

With a whoosh, Yi Linglong stood up, and her staggering body stood on the snow. It's just that the hands are wrapped around their stomachs.

That belly bulged with a pack.

Zhuang Yu happily covered his mouth and smiled, but did not speak.

Yu Qi smiled at Yi Linglong, and asked her to go first. Yi Linglong didn't want to cause trouble, so she walked away naturally under this step. After a few steps, he turned his head and said, "Does the girl think it's funny?" ”

Zhuang Yu put away his smiling face: "My second sister is afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you!" I am from Xifu, not from your Beifu. Anyway, sister, you want to pick plum blossoms, so you can tell your big brother and sister-in-law. I wonder if you went to the rolling garden to say hello to the grandmother? Just picking plum blossoms from other people's yards and spreading them, the second wife is afraid that she will be faceless, and her family will be like thieves. ”

Yi Linglong laughed and said, "The hands and feet are mine, and I can pick them wherever I like." Is the surname Zhuang here? Our lady married in, and she has to greet you if she wants to take the things at home? What a joke. If you want to talk about face, I have my face, your second wife has no face, that's her own shamelessness, what does it matter to me! ”

Zhuang Yu was annoyed, and he couldn't say anything about "you" again and again.

If it weren't for Yu Qi and Sanxi desperately persuading and pulling Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu would still want to catch up and talk back.

At this time, on the Beifu Trail, Zhuang Xuan came.

Zhuang Xuan made a series of "yo yo" sounds, then walked to the front, passed in front of Yi Linglong, and said, "What did I say, you shouldn't come out and walk around in the cold." This is really seeing the monkey playing lively. The fifth sister can't be angry with such a person. ”

Yi Linglong gritted her teeth, didn't talk, and turned around.

Zhuang Xuan stomped his feet and turned his finger to mean exquisitely: "You stop for me!" ”

Yi Linglong was willing to listen to the greeting, and returned to the Beifu in a trembling manner, not taking Zhuang Qi into account at all.

Zhuang Xuan opened his throat and said, "Unruly dog thing!" Even if you are invited by the lord for a lot of money, it is also the dogleg of our house. If you don't respond yet, I'm afraid you won't be able to show your face enough with this silver. ”

After listening, Yi Linglong stopped her steps, opened her cloak with both hands, showed the bag, fell to the ground with a bang, and strode towards Zhuang Qi in a huff.

Seeing this posture, Zhuang Qi was frightened and hurriedly retreated behind Yu Qi Zhuang Yu.

Yi Linglong pointed at Zhuang Qi and said: "I have repeatedly put up with you, annoying me, I will let you go around without eating!" Say so much and do what? If you want to hurry up, my aunt and grandmother will accompany you, the water in the pool is not enough for you to soak, do you want it? ”

Zhuang Xuan blushed with shame, sandwiched his head behind Yu Zhuang Yu, and said unrelentingly: "It's the other way around!" You're a foreign bastard! ”

Yu Qi originally wanted to help, but when he heard Zhuang Qi scolding the foreign bastard, he couldn't help but give in.

Yi Linglong seemed to see Yu Qi's face and performance, so she lowered her eyebrows and said, "As far as I know, you are not the only one who scolds me, right?" ”

Zhuang Qi realized that his words were out of proportion, he glanced at Yu Qi in a daze, and said quickly: "I didn't scold my sister Qi, I only scolded you for being shameless!" ”

Yi Linglong laughed, squatted down and picked up the bag, patted the snow on it, and said, "I didn't know that your girl was from outside, so that's it!" So he said to Yu Qi: "Girl, it's me who is not good, and I have affected you." ”

Zhuang Xuan was furious. Yu Qi thought about it for a while, held back, turned around and whispered to Zhuang Qi: "Second sister, why should you be angry with such a person. ”

Zhuang Qi didn't look strange at Yu Qi, added confidence, pointed at Yi Linglong and said, "Have you seen it?" You bastard! My sister has a big belly and knows great gifts, unlike you who have no face. If I were you, hurry up and go back and pack up and get out of our mansion! ”

Yi Linglong hated: "You say one more word!" ”

Zhuang Yu saw that the situation was not right, and he also grabbed Zhuang Qi like Yu Qi.

Zhuang Xuan had sisters by his side to protect him, and his courage also grew, and he crossed his waist and said, "What's wrong with your words!" I can't scold a cheap girl who doesn't listen to the greetings, and I can't break the law! ”

Yi Linglong was completely ignited, three steps into two steps, flying feet to catch up, one hand stretched straight to Zhuang Xuan's cheek, wanting to fan; Unexpectedly, when her palm was about to fall on Zhuang Lu's face, there was a shouting stop from the second master Zhuang Lu outside the big path.

I only heard the second master Zhuang Lu say coldly: "Golden girl! ”

Yi Linglong restrained her hands and feet, hurriedly wrapped the bag in her arms, turned around and went back to Beifu, and did not go to greet Zhuang Lu.

Seeing Linglong leaving, Zhuang Xuan cried loudly and ran to her father Zhuang Lu to be coquettish. Zhuang Lu sighed and reassured. When it was over, he ignored Zhuang Xuan and threw his hands back to Beifu.

Zhuang Xuan's fake eyebrows and fake eyes were stunned for a while, and he took a sip to the north.

Zhuang Yu went to grab her and said, "Sister, why bother." I didn't want to deal with her, but you got involved. ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Should you look at that bastard's shameless humiliating sister? Others can ignore it, I can't swallow this breath! ”

Yu Qi stood aside awkwardly, feeling that Zhuang Qi's words were a little sarcastic.

I saw Zhuang Yu say: "Sister is going to ask the old lady to say goodbye?" ”

Zhuang Xuan said: "I came here long before you, I heard that you were punished for kneeling, come and take a look." I know that I met this ignorant person. ”

Zhuang Yu gratefully shook Zhuang Qi's hand, warmed her up, and said, "Second sister is good to me." ”

Seeing Yi Linglong go away, Yu Qi was relieved. At this time, regardless of Zhuang Xuan's speech, he said autonomously: "The second sister and the fifth sister still have a good relationship." My sister knew that the fifth sister was punished for kneeling, and she ran regardless of the cold weather. ”

Zhuang Xuan was satisfied: "Naturally. I also have Sister Qi in my heart, and that bastard actually said this, which shows how vicious her heart is, and she has learned to sow discord! Sister, I didn't target you. ”

Yu Qi nodded in response, which was a reply.

Zhuang Yula Zhuang said: "Go, go to my side." ”

Zhuang Xuan hurriedly let go and said, "You're fine, I won't go, there will be a fire in the cold weather." Later, when I come to your house, your wife will know, and it will be time to talk about me again. I'm not going! ”

Here, Zhuang Yu invited, Zhuang Qi was naturally reluctant to go, one, as she said, the county lord knew that there was such a festival and must blame her for a few words, she was unwilling to listen; Second, she didn't come to see Zhuang Yu with good intentions, but wanted to come over and laugh at her. Now, it's not interesting, so I naturally don't want to be with them; Three, after all, there is not much to say to Yu Qi.

At that time, Zhuang Xiu, Cao's family, and Zhuang Ying returned to Beifu from Zhongfu, and only rested their heels, and before their hands and feet were warm, a girl came to chew the root of their tongue and said that the five girls were punished for kneeling over there. Zhuang Ju was proud, wanted to take a look, and teased Zhuang Jue. Her sister Zhuang Ying knew her temper, so she persuaded her.

Who knows, Zhuang Ju took a sip of Zhuang Ying and said, "You deserve to have no fun for a day, and you are the only one to play." ”

Zhuang Ying said: "Who said that I am alone, Sister Qi and I are also good." You see that Sister Qi doesn't talk much, don't the sisters also like to be with her? Sister, you are going to tease the fifth sister now, and you will be disgusted by her in the future. ”

It was originally a conversation between sisters, and my sister kindly reminded me.

When Zhuang Qi heard her say this, he said, "Sister Qi? Mrs. also said every day, you have robbed her of this share, I don't know where you got the belly and call someone else's sister. If I were you, I'd be ashamed! ”

These words made Zhuang Ying so stunned that she couldn't respond half a sentence.

Therefore, when I saw Yu Qi, I was a little dissatisfied, and I had a deliberate delicate thing in front of me, and I scolded it inadvertently. There is a point with a gun clamp in it, no wonder Yu Qi cares a lot.

That's why.

At this time, Zhuang Xuan returned to Beifu with anger and did not mention it.

Zhuang Yu and Yu Qi watched Zhuang Qi leave. Zhuang Yu was interested, and said to Yu Qi as he walked: "Sister is not strange, second sister is like this." ”

Yu Qi nodded, it was okay to say, but he thought about something else: when the second master stopped Yi Linglong, he called her "Golden Girl". Isn't this a surname? Why is it called Miss Jin? There is no word "gold" in the three words "Yi Linglong"! Besides, Yi Linglong sneaked into the secret passage and came out with the bag of things, covering up the second master, presumably the second master didn't know her behavior. Who is this Linglong? Why is it called Miss Jin again?

Suddenly, Yu Qi's thoughts drifted inexplicably to Xianyuan Nunnery.

Before his death, Bojing Laoni entrusted a person to himself, and that person was also surnamed Jin, called Jin Yilang!

There must be no such coincidence in the world! Later, Yu Qi had to admire, it was such a coincidence! More on that later.
