Chapter 132: The Covenant of the Piano Art
"I heard that you were sent to Sunset Mountain after returning to Hengfu?"
Shan Heng saw that the little woman beside him was so silent, as if he was full of concern.
"Huh? Yes, when I returned home, my wife had already been evicted from the house. ”
"I was not in the imperial city for a few days, and it was only after I came back that I heard that the second lady of Hengfu was suffering from malaria, but she returned safely from the sunset mountain."
"Yes, but I told my son that the second lady was poisoned, not an epidemic."
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"Well, it's just a family ugly, and it's not good for me to publicize it for my masters."
"I understand.
"But I heard that you were assassinated on Sunset Mountain?"
"Yes, on the night I arrived, two men in black rushed up the mountain and asked me to go down the mountain to get food before.
followed them halfway before he had a chance to save the three of them. ”
"I used to think that you were a little smarter than women of the same age, but these few things really impressed me."
Shan Heng's smile was like a spring breeze, which made her look really stupid.
"Don't make fun of me, I'm just trying to survive."
"Live?"
"The second lady is my biggest backer in the house, and she saved me, and I didn't lose my life by going all the way to return her life.
Only when the master is stable, can the minions be peaceful, right? ”
"It's just that someone crowned their good deeds with gold, but I didn't expect the girl to do the opposite."
"Everything I did, in the final analysis, was for myself, and by the way, I saved my master,
So it can't be called a good deed. ”
"It's a good one, such a big favor makes you understate it by the way."
"If you talk about favors, I still owe my son a big favor!"
"Hmmm......"
"There's something to say, but it's okay to say it."
"After returning home, although the prime minister punished me for fleeing the house without permission, he praised me for my savior's meritorious service and rewarded me with fifty taels of silver.
I calculated it, the food, housing, transportation and the four brothers' favors on the road to Kunjiang, I can only pay back fifty taels of my son now. ”
"You don't have to give me back the money, from the moment I promise to help you, I only care about your safety."
“......”
What the? He said he was worried about me?
Seeing that she didn't reply, Shan Heng spoke again.
"Why don't you keep this money for yourself?"
"Redemption? I..... I haven't thought about it yet, I don't have a home, and I don't know where to go when I leave the house. ”
"But can you stay in Hengfu for the rest of your life?"
"Naturally not, there are a few people who can leave half of their lives to the eldest lady like Aunt Xin."
"Don't have any plans after leaving the house?"
"That's all for later, son, you can accept the silver, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"Okay, since you insist on paying me back the money, it's better to do this, I also need to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion often recently,
Because the emperor set up the prime minister's mansion at the end of each year, I have to go to the mansion every day for the past two months to teach.
If I have spare time, I will ask you to practice in the side yard, and for each lesson you play, you will pay me a silver ingot. ”
"And such a good thing?"
Although she really has no talent for piano skills, she can see Shan Gongzi every day,
Don't say ask her to practice the piano, even if you ask her to practice martial arts, you can do it with a turn and a head!
"Okay, I can only accept my money if Childe is willing to accept it, and I haven't touched the guqin for a long time, and what Childe taught before is almost forgotten."
The two agreed on the daily piano lesson time, and unconsciously walked outside the gate of Hengfu.
"Shall we go back soon?"
Shan Heng saw that she was reluctant to move.
"Uh, Childe, I can't go through the gate, I'm going to ...... Exit through the side door. ”
"Then I'll take you to the side door."
"No..... No need! I can myself, the side door is next to it. ”
What kind of joke are you kidding, is it difficult for me to drill a dog hole in front of Shan Gongzi?
"Okay, then I'll take my leave, girl, be careful."
"Thank you Shan Gongzi for sending me off."
Bidding farewell to Shan Heng, the firecrackers turned to the side door, and only after making sure that there was no one around, did they get into the dog hole.
patted the dusty skirt and slipped all the way back to the courtyard in the night.
"Where did you go again?"
As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw that Huai Gongzi was already sitting in the treetops.
"Why did you get out of here?"
"I'm not blind, look at this garment on you."
"Oh, don't you say I almost forgot ......"
Only then did she remember that she was still wearing civilian clothes.
"Whoa! Clothes for you! ”
Huai Gongzi threw back the purple shirt she had hidden in the tree to her.
After changing clothes from the kitchen, she leaned on the door and window to make sure that Pear Blossom and Ruyu had rested.
The flasks on the table were spilled all over the floor, and the roast chicken was dismantled to only the skeleton.
"Really, if you can't drink it, drink less....."
The firecracker turned over and climbed the tree and rubbed next to the Huai Gongzi.
"Have you been drinking? Smells of alcohol. ”
"Is there one?" Firecracker raised his arm and sniffed it carefully.
"It's not me who drank it, someone else drank it."
"I've never seen a maid as bold as you, and really regard this prime minister's mansion as your backyard?"
"I'm not the only one who often runs out of this Heng Mansion."
"But if you're so unscrupulous, I'm afraid it's just one, right?"
"No way, I went out to return the favor, do you think I want to take this risk?"
"Is it the financier who helped you pay for Kun Jiang?"
"Phew! Here you go again! What financiers? It's just an old man. ”
"How come I can't meet such a generous old man?"
"Naturally, you have a strange temper and bad popularity."
"Oh? Am I eccentric? Huai Gongzi frowned.
"Of course you don't think so."
"It seems that only a person with a bad temper like you can talk to a strange person like me?"
"Where am I going to be tricky?"
"Of course you don't think so."
He threw her words over.
"Stingy, didn't you just say a word about you?" Firecrackers pouted in disgust: "It's really a retribution." ”
"Walked in the water last night and burned people to death?" The person next to him changed his words.
"Well, I burned a maid to death, and I was young."
"There are no trees near North Park, and there was no strong wind last night, why is there such a big fire?"
"I don't know, some people say that they knocked over the candles and burned the curtains, and some people say that the kitchen is the source of fire.
But this is full of devastation, and I can't see anything, but the strangeness of Bailing's death is real. ”
"Strange death?"
"There were strangulation marks on her wrists on her body, but when I went to do the autopsy during the day, I found that her arms were also burned."
"Do you suspect someone murdered?"
"What's the use of doubting things without evidence, a mouth and a pair of eyes are not enough to make people believe."
"What? Do you want to get away with the hero and help the dead overturn the case? ”
"If it's just a simple murder and revenge, I don't bother to care, I'm afraid this is just the beginning, and there will be a bigger storm later."
"Even if you set it off, can you turn the tide?"
"Naturally, it is important to protect yourself first, and if the situation is not right, find a way to slip away."
Firecrackers said with blazing eyes: "I'm a little girl, why do I have to be a big hero?" Whoever loves to do it will do it.
It's a cheap life, do you have to drill under other people's knives? ”
"In order to find grass, I didn't care about my life, and I am not a hero?"
"That's repaying gratitude, do you understand? Although people are divided into three roads and nine classes, the spine is also straight and curved, I don't have much ability,
I didn't give birth to a bodhisattva's heart, but knowing how to repay kindness and not being a wolf-hearted person is my principle. ”
"Madame saved my life, and I deserve to pay her back."
"Now that the information is informed, you have both cleared up, if I am not mistaken,
You've saved her more than once. ”
"Alas! Who the hell are you? How do you know everything? ”
Firecrackers were shocked to realize that this Huai Gongzi knew so many things.
"People who do good deeds."
"You don't want to be confused with a few words."
"Okay, I just have some sources in the Imperial City, and I often have a lot of dealings with the rice merchants and salt merchants in the city."
"It turned out to be all gossip, but how can this gossip be so accurate? Where did it come from? ”
"If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, the prime minister will not publicize the ugliness of his family, and he will not hesitate to cover up the truth and reverse black and white.
But they don't know that in this world, where there are people, there are ears. ”
"Alas, I don't care if his family is ugly or not! It's his business to live without pockets.
When Madame was sick and left the house, it was obvious that he ordered the closure of the mountain, but now he came back and coaxed Madame with a few sweet words. ”
"Your wife is attached to the prime minister, so she naturally understands the principle of retreating as the way to advance and seek perfection."
"Marrying into this rich family, how can you live? It's completely like setting up a stage and singing.
It's okay when it's beautiful, but when it falls into the well, thousands of pieces of gravel fall down, and even the most trusted person won't pull it. ”
"This is just the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you go to the palace, you will know that you see this now, but Er'er."
"Yes, I don't want to go to any palace, I'd rather go outside the city to farm outside the Hanzhong Temple on the outskirts of the city."
"You dislike the powerful so much?"
"It's not that I dislike the powerful, but where the powerful there is strife there will be strife, and where there is strife there will be blood."
"I can't smell blood, I'm disgusting."
"There is some truth to that, but you and I are the opposite."
"How?"
"I love the smell of blood."
Huai Gongzi hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a mysterious smile.
"Really...... A weirdo! ”
Firecrackers grinned in disgust.
"Hey, how long are you going to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion? I think you're all at home? ”
"What? Can't wait to get me gone? ”
"I said again that it doesn't count, I'm just curious about which family's son-in-law can rely on other families every day with nothing to do."
"Come on, I'll be away soon, don't regret missing me then."
"Don't dream, even if I miss the big yellow dog that was stewed at the back door yesterday, I won't miss you."
"It's so sad!"
After Huai Gongzi finished speaking, he jumped off the tree: "I'll go first, I have something to do tonight." ”
"Oh......"
"Something? What could happen on this big night? It's getting more and more incomprehensible about him. ”
Wearing a mask every day, and his whereabouts are so weird, a rich boy in the imperial city,
Why is there eyeliner at the border? If Tang Jue and him were only a business partnership, she wouldn't believe it.
Just by the extra sun in the purse, I guessed that they must be tired.
