Chapter 214—When the Eve of Dawn Is Dark (14)
Back in the squatter room, Cao Yanbing thought of the old monk just now, I don't know why he suddenly appeared in front of him, could it be that he did it to tell himself that the money can't be refunded?
Regarding the matter of returning the money, Cao Yanbing no longer has extravagant expectations, and has a sense of acceptance against the grain.
Anyway, it's a done thing now, and in the future, I owe a favor that I don't know if it's or if it's necessary to pay it back.
A cheap deal that wants to pit himself into a bargain for five hundred taels, he Cao Yanbing will not do it.
Cao Yanbing has completely classified Fan Wei as the same person as this temple, after all, they are all such secretive.
Seeing that the holiday that His Majesty the Emperor said was about to end, Cao Yanbing would take over the burden of his friend Cui Yongfu when he returned to the mansion tomorrow.
"Hey, I'm going back to suffering again!"
At this time, Jingzhong still looked orderly, just as His Majesty the Emperor thought, there was no change on the surface, but a lot of things happened in private.
Suddenly, in a few days, because of the assassination of a minister, Wuwei carried out a carpet arrest of Jingzhong and even the Acropolis of the Quartet, making Jingzhong suddenly become a forbidden area of the rivers and lakes, and no one in the martial arts was allowed to enter without permission.
The past few days have been a blow to the entire Chengguo Jianghu, and those Jianghu forces that did not belong to the imperial court, whether openly or privately, collapsed all of a sudden.
Many heroes who have been praised in the market, and those who rob the rich and help the poor, as long as they are not on the white list of the government, have been invited to Laozhong by the five guards in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.
The current prison is full of those knights who usually make people yearn for it!
These people were arrested and put in prison without explanation, and some knights with high martial arts were even more uselessly resisting, and they were killed by these five guard masters of Chengguo in the place of resistance.
In the past few days, there are no more chivalrous years in the capital, and these chivalrous people have felt the pressure from the Chengguo Dynasty for the first time.
heard about the tragic situation of those chivalrous, which also made a large number of chivalrous men begin to flee, and the chivalrous men who had no way to escape, in order not to be implicated, began to bow to the imperial court forces in Beijing and attached themselves to the hands of the minister in Beijing.
Those knights who were locked in prison and suffered from prison also saw the tragic situation of those unconvinced knights with their own eyes, and began to bow their heads to the court.
This matter intensified, and in the end, I heard that a master in Beijing came out to intercede with His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, which calmed down the matter.
However, this is also a rumor, and no one knows whether it is true or not.
Zhang Biao is very safe there, although I don't know why, but no one from the five guards came here to make trouble, in this piece of empty house, Zhang Biao can clearly feel that there are many people who have fled here.
Zhang Biao, who had nothing to do, stretched his waist and yawned, obviously feeling that he had eaten a lot of weight recently, thinking that he couldn't do this, but his body still resisted his will, and he didn't want to move for half a minute.
Finally, under the guidance of strong will, Zhang Biao finally stood up and took two steps in the courtyard.
"Weak, do you think I've been a little lazy lately?"
Xiao Youwan didn't say anything, but Zhang Biao felt deep contempt from Xiao Youweak.
The nursery rhyme, who had not spoken, said: "It's a rare thing that you feel like doing something." ”
Zhang Biao looked at the sky and said: "Isn't it that I feel the pressure from time, I have been in Beijing for so long, and I have never sat down for anything, and I feel a trace of uneasiness in my heart." ”
"You know you haven't done a thing?"
Yue Qingyi and Ling'er were directing the maids in the yard to start picking grapes, and these days Xiao Youweak taught the two people how to make fruit wine, so that the two people who had nothing to do could find something to do.
Hearing the nursery rhyme like this, Yue Qingyi stopped what she was doing and looked at Zhang Biao with some resentment.
These days, the moon light clothes that returned to Zhang Biao's small courtyard were less pitiful and a little more shy and charming than before, which made the people in the courtyard stunned, but it couldn't attract Zhang Biao's attention.
Now there are no two people in the courtyard and there is nothing to do, although on the surface, Yue Qingyi is in charge of the silver taels in the courtyard, but all the expenses depend on Xiao You's weak face.
This cold and glamorous woman made Yue Qingyi feel a trace of frustration, after all, a woman like her who is proficient in everything is really rare in the world.
Let Yue Qingyi have to take it, it's not that there is no gain, after getting along in the past few days, Yue Qingyi and Ling'er know a lot about the money in the yard.
Ling'er saw her young lady's expression, and leaned into Yue Qingyi's ear and said, "Miss, do you see if Miss Xiao deliberately cultivates you as the young grandmother of the Zhang family." ”
Yue Qingyi's face flushed, and then she patted the girl's forehead, "You little girl, what are you talking about, my identity, what a young grandmother, don't talk nonsense." ”
Ling'er patted her bulging chest and said: "It's okay, so Zi Ling'er is much more relieved, now the Zhang family is so terrible, when I think that Zhang Biao's son is a relative of the prince and Xiangye, then I feel that their family must be unusual." ”
"Besides, he is still so generous, if Miss marries in the past, it will definitely suffer a lot, and Miss should not marry into their Zhang family."
"You little girl thinks a lot."
"Miss, Ling'er is thinking about Miss, think about the previous sons, they are all human, but they are not as good as animals."
Ling'er thought of the things she had done when she was in Yueyin Fang before.
"Ling'er, do you think Childe is the kind of person you think!"
"I...," Ling'er stuck out her tongue, "Miss, Ling'er knows it's wrong. ”
Ling'er was afraid that her own young lady would fall deeper and deeper, and her intuition told her that Zhang Biao was the kind of person that she and her own young lady couldn't afford to provoke, even if her own young lady looked like a peerless person in Ling'er's eyes, but for Zhang Biao.
Ling'er has only endless fear, which is a feeling that has existed since she came to this courtyard.
Zhang Biao looked over here, as if he had seen through Ling'er's thoughts, and walked towards this side with a smile.
Ling'er felt the sight from Zhang Biao just now, and when she saw Zhang Biao walking towards this side, she quickly shut up and didn't speak, Zhang Biao walked over, passed by the two people, and then came under the grape trellis.
"Thankfully, there are still bunches of grapes that haven't been picked yet, thank goodness."
Picking a bunch of grapes from above made Ling'er breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now, Ling'er thought that this Zhang Biao had seen her thoughts, but now it seems that she has thought too much, Yue Qingyi said to Zhang Biao: "Don't worry, Childe, there are still a lot of grapes in the yard now, which is enough for us to use in one yard." ”
The nursery rhyme said: "Hey, you are so used to this guy, you don't have to keep things for him in the future, you still have to wait until he is really in trouble." ”
"What's wrong?"
There was no expression on the cold face of the nursery rhyme, which made Yue Qingyi feel a little overwhelmed, not only her, but Ling'er didn't understand what the nursery rhyme wanted to express.
"It's okay, Miss Nursery Rhymes, since Childe wants to eat, I naturally have to prepare it for him."
The body of the nursery rhyme seems to be only the appearance of a woman in the prime of her life just now, but Yue Qingyi always feels that something is wrong, and the feeling of the nursery rhyme to Yue Qingyi is like an unsolved mystery.
The nursery rhyme didn't speak again, still enjoying the afterglow of summer under the gentle shaking of Xiao You's weak fan.
Xiao Youwan suddenly spoke: "I heard that it was King Yi's Mansion who saved the Moon Girl. ”
Yue Qingyi smiled, glanced at Zhang Biao and said, "If you say so, it can be regarded as the rescue of King Yi's mansion, but it is Gongzi who opens his mouth to save people." ”
"Oh, if that's the case, Childe should be regarded as your life-saving benefactor for the Moon Girl."
"That's right."
"There is a joke that the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, so I can only promise to each other, I don't know the girl in light clothes..."
"No way!"
It was Ling'er and Zhang Biao who spoke, Yue Qingyi's face turned red, looking at Xiao Youweak in disbelief, Zhang Biao said: "Youweak, I haven't seen each other for so long, you have a long ability." ”
"I don't know if my ability is long, but I know that Childe's peach blossom luck is prosperous."
Xiao Youwan didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Biao's words, and still asked Yue Qingyi: "Actually, we are going back to Huaihuang Mansion." ”
Zhang Biao refused, and when he heard that they were leaving, Yue Qingyi's face suddenly turned pale, and then his eyes became a little confused.
"I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I still haven't thought of any good solution, so I want to hear your opinion, girl."
Yue Qingyi reluctantly showed a smile and asked, "What is your opinion?" ”
"Let's put it this way, what I said just now is all a joke, just don't take it seriously, the girl in light clothes."
Xiao Youwan looked at Zhang Biao and asked; "I'll say what I think now, I don't know if our son Zhang Biao has any objections."
Zhang Biao looked at the leisurely nursery rhyme and said: "Naturally, I don't have any other ideas, just say it." ”
"Well, I won't hide it now, and I'm going to tell you two things, one is that we're leaving, that's for sure, and the other is that I want to ask the girl if you want to leave with us."
"Of course, if the girl doesn't want to go with us, it's okay, but in the capital, I advise the girl not to stay."
Ling'er wanted to have a good discussion with her young lady, but Yue Qingyi said very simply: "I'll go with you." ”
"Wise, then there are some things to tell you next, and these things are very important."
Xiao Youwan asked many of his subordinates to retreat at this time, revealing a very solemn expression.
