Chapter 55: Probing
"Here we are."
Da Yu landed as light as a big cat, almost no sound, the two of them were landing in a hidden place in a courtyard, the bamboo shadow in front of them, the sound of their feet stepping on the ground, was covered by the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo leaves.
"You let me down first."
Qin Shumei lowered his voice very low and gently patted Da Yu's back.
Enjoy the treatment of a princess hugging off the wall? It was pure dreaming. Tell Da Yu to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, then the whole pair of cows play the piano.
Qin Shumei was picked up by him on his shoulders and carried down the wall like a sack.
She also wanted to struggle down by herself, but relying on her lower abdomen and pelvis alone, without solid core strength, she wanted to twist her body to express her dissatisfaction, but she was also powerless.
Da Yu lowered her to the ground and led the people to hide in the dark in the corner. They were in the dark, and the people in the house were in the light, and the two of them held their breath, not in a hurry to make the next move, but observed the movements in the house.
The courtyard of Ganfu is not big, and in terms of grandeur, even if it is compared to the mansion of General Xu, it is several grades worse. But although the sparrows are small, the five organs are complete, the layout of the house is elegant, and there are many pavilions and landscaping in this small courtyard alone.
From this leisure and elegance, it can be seen that the master must not be a pragmatist, but definitely detached from the existence of the working class.
"This courtyard should be the residence of the female dependents."
After the second wave of maid squads passed by, Qin Shumei came to a conclusion about this courtyard.
"Then what's the grind, I'll take you to another yard to find it." Da Yu squatted early and his legs were numb, and he was about to stand up, but his movements suddenly stagnated.
Qin Shumei was wondering why he pressed the pause button for himself, when he heard the sound of the door of the main house opening, followed by the woman's sweet and delicate voice.
"Brother Quan doesn't like sweets, and he doesn't like fish, so he definitely didn't eat well tonight."
Qin Shumei turned his head at the sound, and his body couldn't move as if he was petrified.
This "all-brother" can't be the person he thinks, right?
The owner of the voice was a young girl, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in peach-colored clothes, lining her like the most delicate apricot blossom in spring. She was born with a baby face, and the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth loomed when she spoke, and she was obedient and pretty. Just looking at her twice, it makes people's hearts feel as sweet as honey.
This young girl is Gan Yiwen.
The maid beside Gan Yiwen wanted to pick up the food box in her hand, but she pursed her red lips and looked unwilling.
"This is what I made for my brother, so naturally I have to take it to him personally, otherwise I will lose my sincerity."
The maid had no choice but to hold a lantern to illuminate her.
"Since the lady arrived in this Wenliang City, she has taken care of the house for Lang Jun. Up and down the housework, which one should not be managed by the lady? In the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, how have you ever suffered like this? Now that you have found Your Highness, you have done everything yourself, and the hard work is abnormal, which looks like you are emaciated. ”
When Qin Shumei heard the word "Your Highness", there seemed to be lightning in his head. Her face was ugly, her eyes were firmly fixed on the two who were still talking at the door, she endured and endured, and gradually calmed down under Da Yu's threatening gaze, so she didn't make any movement.
Gan Yiwen listened to the maid's words, but she didn't care.
"Originally, I followed my brother out of Beijing to see my brother, and I did this for him, which was my willingness, and it was not hard work. Let's go, this bone broth will be cold in a while. ”
The two of them raised their feet, and Qin Shumei also glanced at Da Yu.
The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, with Gan Yiwen's master and servant opening the way, half of the attention of most of the servants and guards is on them. With this favorable condition, Da Yu relied on his kung fu and walked out of the dark. The two of them in the light and the two in the dark, less than a hundred steps apart, entered a hidden courtyard.
When she arrived at the door, Gan Yiwen stopped.
"You stay at the door, and when someone comes, remind me that I want to go in alone and stay with my brother for a while."
The maid responded, and together with a group of guards, dutifully guarded the door, and stared her eyes into searchlights.
What should I do?
Qin Shumei has neither downwind ears nor clairvoyant eyes. People are close at hand, but they can't see each other, this feeling is a hundred times more uncomfortable than a hundred claws scratching the heart.
She could only go to see Da Yu, looking forward to what good things could happen to him.
Da Yu received Qin Shumei's call for help, although his face was disdainful, his movements were very sharp, and he jumped to the back of the house with her a few times, without saying a word of nonsense, he entered the wing room directly through the window, and before the servants inside could find out, he was slashed unconscious by his hand knife, and gently placed on the ground.
After doing all this smoothly, Da Yu raised his eyebrows at her, and there was a slight smug look under his beard.
Qin Shumei was stunned the whole time, she just wanted to hear the corner, but this big brother directly took her to break through, and he did a lot of work, he was really a god.
Before she could give Da Yu a thumbs up in encouragement, she heard the voice she had been thinking about day and night.
"Gan Niangzi doesn't have to bother so much."
Yang Zhaoquan's voice did not fluctuate, without a trace of emotion, not like it came from the mouth of a living person.
"Don't bother!"
Gan Yiwen eagerly denied it, as if she hadn't heard the rejection in Yang Zhaoquan's words.
"Brother Quan, try it, I specially added shiitake mushrooms, astragalus and cordyceps, which are the most nourishing and blood-nourishing, and have been stewed for more than an hour. You have limited mobility, I'll feed you. ”
The sound of bowls and spoons clashing sounded, and I thought someone was holding the spoon.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Qin Shu's eyebrows were sour, and the tip of her tongue was bitter, she couldn't help but want to lie down by the door and peek, but was grabbed by Da Yu's arm.
The imaginary sound of drinking soup did not appear for a long time, but the sound of the bottom of the bowl hitting the table was heard.
"Brother Quan is still thinking about Sister Shumei, isn't it?"
Gan Yiwen's voice faded a little sweeter, and her voice was as low as its owner's mood.
Qin Shumei's body has just reached the appearance of Xuan, although the age of her soul is enough to be Gan Yiwen's sister, but now with such a young body, she is still a little unhappy to be called sister by such a girl of almost the same age.
Ignoring this unpleasantness, she breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. Qin Shumei tasted what Gan Yiwen said, bit his lower lip lightly, and a smile appeared on his face that he didn't even notice.
Could it be that he kept thinking about himself when she wasn't there?
"My brother has already sent someone to look for it, and he will find it soon."
Yang Zhaoquan didn't make a sound, except for the first sentence at the beginning, he didn't react to Gan Yiwen.
Gan Yiwen was a little at a loss, although Yang Zhaoquan didn't get close to her before, but today she seems to be extremely cold.
"Brother Quan is tired, right? There's benzoin in the side room, why don't I take it and light it for my brother? ”
The sound of the fabric rubbing against each other was heard, followed by two gentle footsteps.
"Stop."
Yang Zhaoquan stopped her.
"Don't work hard and the lady is jade, since you know that I am tired, go out of my room."
Qin Shumei heard a faint sobbing, the little girl sent food so badly, not only did he not appreciate it, but he also drove people out unkindly. How cold-blooded this man is! It's true that men see silence, and women see tears!
Although Qin Shumei thought so, her heart was filled with untimely joy, she wanted to suppress it with reason, but it was difficult to control it.
Gan Yiwen withdrew from the room, because she retired in advance, so now in the huge main house, only Yang Zhaoquan is left.
"The people in the wing room can come out now, right?"
