Chapter 11 Guest-Host Translocation
At this moment, Yang Wantang was paralyzed on the Taishi chair, with a depressed face. Dignity is lost today, but the good thing is that life is still there.
The situation was completely unexpected by him.
After he made up his mind that day, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he specially ordered his only son to lead a team of henchmen to send the news of Wen Zong's death to Beiyu along with Wen Xin's body. After receiving a letter from his son, he sent a message to the old man. After thinking about it, I really couldn't find a gap in the leaked news.
I thought that Beiyu would get the news and definitely attack Liangzhou within a few days. It's naturally good to come back, even if there are any worries that don't come, for him, at most, it's just the icing on the cake missing.
What's more, the Liangzhou army still has Liangzhou to defend. No matter how you think about it, you should be invincible.
But now, he really couldn't understand how this weak and weak lady of the Wen family dared to raise troops to invade Tongcheng, just as he didn't understand that the first thing Liangzhou soldiers did when they entered his mansion was to invite him to dinner.
"Uncle Shi has been waiting for a long time."
Wen slowly walked into the main hall, and the woman with a curling grace and the fierce soldiers and horses outside the door didn't seem to have anything to do with each other.
Yang Wantang wanted to stand up, but was held down by Liang Zhoubing on the side and sat back, so he could only put on a smile: "So...... If you are the old man, Uncle Shi has already asked your aunt to prepare a banquet for you, how can you still let you ...... in person?"
Before Yang Wantang's words were finished, Zhixia walked over briskly and slammed a steaming bowl of wontons on the table with a "pop". Yang Tongzhi of Da Chu was so "courteous" by a little maid at this moment, and he didn't dare to show any displeasure, he was afraid of Liangzhou soldiers, and didn't get up again, so he could only move the bowl to his side with both hands.
"The craftsmanship of the old man must be much stronger than these superficial cooks in Uncle Shi's mansion, I'll try it, I'll taste it."
Looking at Yang Wantang, there was no emotion in his eyes: "Uncle Shi is slow." ”
Yang Wantang trembled with fright, withdrew his outstretched hand, and raised his head to look at Wen Gu tremblingly.
"Ho...... What's the matter? ”
Wen Gu Waner smiled and said, "Please come and eat with the eldest lady." ”
Before Yang Wantang could speak, Zhixia bowed first and turned around to go.
He said to Zhixia again: "Be polite to the eldest lady." ”
"Yes, Miss." Zhixia answered, and motioned for a few soldiers outside the door to go with her.
……
The Liangzhou army was tightly guarded, and all the courtyards of the Yang Mansion were not informed.
Mrs. Gu was stuffed in her own courtyard, and she speculated about the current situation in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She was originally a straw bale with a strong outside and a dry middle, and she hadn't seen any big waves over the years, and now she has long lost her mind.
It's just that the Liu family is by her side, and she has to support the majesty of being the housewife, and she can't show it.
Liu cried for a while, and now he is quiet, not knowing what he is thinking.
At this time, the door squeaked open, and everyone in the room was shocked. But seeing that it was Zhixia walking in, she glanced at the people in the house, and only bowed slightly to Gu's: "My eldest lady invites the eldest lady to come over for dinner." ”
Listening to this tone, looking at this style, it seems that he didn't take Gu Shi seriously.
Mrs. Gu's face was suddenly a little embarrassed, it was the female envoy of the guest who came, even if she had a good face, she was just a slave, if she let the master mother reply to her, wouldn't it be a mess of dignity and humility.
The mother-in-law standing beside the Gu family made up her mind to teach this little maid who didn't know how to be polite for her master, and her voice was sharp and mean: "On the elders and young, the eldest lady is the elder of your young lady." As for the guest of honor, this is in our Yang Mansion. Your young lady first imprisoned us, and then assigned one of your subordinates to show off her power, the old woman has lived in vain for all these years, and she didn't know that the Wen family could teach such good rules. ”
"That's right, it's not presentable!"
"If you are sincere in inviting someone, let her come in person!"
Several servant women on the side responded with each other, and the room, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly became lively again. Only Liu Shi seemed to have not heard, eager to shrink into a place that others could not see. The eldest lady is stupid, she has never been involved in their hurtful things, and now it seems that it has happened, so I just ask not to affect myself.
Zhixia looked at them coldly and didn't say a word.
Mrs. Gu didn't have any ideas, she was originally going to reply, but when she saw the people around her say this, she became a little bolder. It's just that after waiting for a while, I haven't seen Xia speak, and the courage that I just held up immediately dispersed again.
She did this thing in order to please the master, but in the end she was still weak-hearted. Although she has also killed the servants and maids, the back house is different from the people outside after all, not to mention, there is still poisoned wine prepared for the little lady in her room.
"It's time to eat, it's hard to think about the child," Mrs. Gu pressed her forehead with a handkerchief, and said with a forced smile: "There are many people in this room, and after sitting for so long, I am sweating." I'm tired of the girl to go and talk to your eldest lady, I'll freshen up, and then I'll be there. ”
However, Zhixia didn't mean to move, and his tone was brisk: "It's best for the eldest lady to go immediately, the wontons made by my eldest lady herself, wontons wont taste good if you wait." ”
"Immediately?" Mrs. Gu walked up to Zhixia, and her voice became louder, "This is the Yang Mansion, don't deceive people too much!" ”
Zhixia didn't say anything, but the door behind her suddenly opened, and more than a dozen Liangzhou soldiers stood on both sides.
Mrs. Gu sighed, and her momentum immediately weakened, and she took two steps back.
"I wonder if the eldest lady has freshened up, can she go with me?" Zhixia's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and there was no hint of persecution in his expression.
Mrs. Gu looked left and right, and the servants who were still noisy just now were also silenced.
"Alright, alright, let's ask the girl to lead the way." Mrs. Gu said with a wry smile.
Zhixia heard her say this, gave a perfunctory salute, turned around and went out, and said to the soldiers on the side: "The eldest lady said, be polite." ”
The soldiers all claimed that it was, and the people in the room were even more impressed.
Mrs. Gu didn't dare to delay any longer, her feet were just about to step out of the door, and she reflexively came back as if she remembered something, walked up to Liu, and grabbed her arm.
Liu was frightened: "What is the eldest lady going to do?" ”
Mrs. Gu was afraid that as soon as she walked on the front foot, the Liu family on the back foot would have to tell the secret to protect herself, so it was better to be stable in front of her. She firmly wrapped her arms around Liu's forearm, and said in a low voice: "Don't think that no one knows about your little bit of caution, the master loves you the most on weekdays, but now that he is in trouble, even if he dies, you should block the first knife for him." ”
The Liu family has been married to the Yang Mansion for more than ten years, but whenever there is a banquet for outsiders, Mrs. Gu never lets herself enter the banquet. Liu knew that Yang Fu's face could only be revealed by her surname Gu. But now that he is in danger, he is being pulled out to accompany him.
Seeing the eldest lady acting, several servant women immediately followed and dragged the Liu family. Liu's legs were already stiff, and after fighting them, they went to the main hall together.
