Chapter 22 Names without Surnames
Chapter 22 has a name but no surname
Without waiting for Kou Niang's reaction, Ye Sili asked curiously: "Kou Niang is at home alone?" ”
"On weekdays, my husband goes out early and returns late, and most of the time only me and my son are hazy at home." Kou Niang looked at the sky outside the house and said, "The child is playful, but he should be back soon." ”
Ye Sili saw that Kou Niang was only in her thirties, although Kou Niang carefully hid her white hair in her black hair, Ye Sili still noticed that she had a lot of white hair, and after a little thought, she still asked:
"Does Kou Niang know that the General's Mansion thirteen years ago, and its owner is also surnamed Gu?"
Kou Niang carefully recalled thirteen years ago, and after a long time, she said in a panic: "Girl, you have to be careful when you speak, thirteen years ago, Gu Fu ended up with a full house of beheadings because of 'rebellion', although I am surnamed Gu, but I am the later Wutong Village, and I have nothing to do with the rebel thief." ”
Ye Sili looked at Kou Niang and quipped: "I didn't expect that although Kou Niang takes care of housework all the year round, she remembers the affairs of the court so clearly." ”
Kou Niang was even more frightened, and hurriedly explained: "Back then, the matter of the Gu Mansion was known to the whole country, don't say that I am a woman, and even the children playing in the village also made up songs and songs to spread the story. Although my surname is Gu, I don't dare to have anything to do with them. ”
"Yes, the whole country knows about what happened back then, but unfortunately I don't know." Ye Sili was a little melancholy.
"Fang Cai is so offended, please forgive Kou Niang. I often heard the storyteller talk about this, but I didn't understand it very well, so I asked more, which made Kou Niang frightened. ”
Kou Niang saw that Ye Sili was still young, and she must have not been born before the Gu Mansion destroyed the sect, so she kindly reminded: "Naturally, I won't be too careful, but the girl should not say such things outside, so as not to get into trouble." ”
Ye Sili thanked with a smile, unintentionally catching a glimpse of the fine white powder stained on the hem of Kou Niang's skirt, and reminded by the way:
"Kou Niang's skirt seems to be stained with a little flour?"
Kou Niang looked down and explained, "Before you came, the cow in the backyard was sick, and this is the medicinal powder that was accidentally stained when treating it. ”
"But the ploughing ox? If you are sick, you can be healed. ”
"It's natural, the cow used medicine, and now it's honest."
"I see, Kou Niang really has a good craft."
"It's nothing unusual, it's just that I've been with my husband for a long time, and I've learned a little bit."
The two exchanged a few words, and Ye Sili listened to Mu Jiufeng call her, so she said goodbye to Kou Niang and left.
The children at the entrance of the village are still playing, reluctant to return home.
Xiao Ling asked puzzledly:
"Why didn't Fang Niang tell the truth? This matter cannot be hidden. ”
Mu Jiufeng touched his neck, looked around, and whispered: "I can't help my wife and children, this matter has not yet been concluded, and rashly telling Kou Niang will only make her worried." ”
"And what are we here for today?" Xiao Ling is even more at a loss, can't he get his wife and children? It was the first time she had heard that if she was harmful to the royal family, she would be punished by the Nine Clans.
Ye Sili felt a little heavy, and replied: "The specific situation can only be discussed at home, and I don't know what happened to Ah Wei." ”
"Don't worry, that guy has a bad stomach, maybe he will toss Zhang Song into something, maybe Zhang Song has already confessed obediently." Mu Jiufeng said confidently, he dared to say that he was second in his understanding of the worries, and no one dared to ...... No, Si Li must be the first to understand.
A little boy with a wooden sword in his hand plays the role of a majestic general, and other children pretend to be traitors and are trying to hunt down the "little general".
The "little general" shouted from the rhetoric of the play: "You are a traitor, a traitor seeking glory, unforgivable!" ”
The "traitors" chased and killed, and the "little general" ran away with his sword, and almost bumped into Xiao Ling, but fortunately, Yun An was quick and lifted the "little general" up.
"You let go of me! You let go of me! ”
The "little general" broke free, but when he met Yun'an, he was powerless to fight back.
"Let him go!" The children who played the role of "traitors" also rushed up, Ye Sili and his party were overwhelming, and Yun An was silent with a cold face, which really scared them, so he had to try to intimidate Yun An with words.
Yun An ignored them, only turned his head to look at Xiao Ling, waiting for her orders.
"Yun'an, don't scare the child."
Yun An immediately let go of the child.
Xiao Ling squatted in front of the child and said with concern: "It didn't hurt, did it?" ”
The child was a little scared and shook his head.
"Tell my sister, what's your name? It's getting dark, why don't you go home yet? "Xiao Ling likes children.
The harem concubines also brought a lot of children, but those concubines were reluctant to let her approach, for fear that she would do something to the children. has been in the harem for a long time, and she has also learned how to avoid suspicion, from childhood to adulthood, except for the fourth brother, only Sili and Jiufeng treat her sincerely.
"My name is Zhang Hazy, thank you sister for saving me." Zhang Hazy said honestly, caught a glimpse of Yun An on the side, and shrank into Xiao Ling's arms with some fear.
Xiao Ling noticed that these children were afraid of Yun An, looked up at Yun An, and sure enough, his stinky face was as bad as ever, and he reluctantly turned around and explained to the child:
"Don't be afraid, this brother is very good, it's just ...... It looks a little fierce. ”
Yun An raised the corners of his mouth a little unnaturally, but gave up instantly.
"Who are you?" The little girl, one of the "rebels", stepped forward boldly, and when she saw that her little friend was caught by them, she asked cautiously.
Ye Sili touched Zhang's hazy head and said, "Kou Niang, you know, we are her friends." ”
After that, Ye Sili lowered his head and said to Zhang Hao: "Your mother is waiting for you at home, go back early, don't let her worry." ”
Zhang nodded slightly.
Ye Sili looked at the little girl's cute appearance, and couldn't help asking:
"Little sister, you look so cute, what's your name?"
The little girl's voice was immature, and she introduced them to Ye Sili:
"My name is Yaya, his name is Ergou, this is Huanhuan, Tiedan......"
After Yaya introduced the children present in turn, Ye Sili listened carefully and asked curiously:
"And what's your last name?"
Yaya and the other children bowed their heads, and Zhang Hazy explained: "They don't have surnames. ”
Not only Ye Sili, but Mu Jiufeng and others also leaked a look of surprise, how important is the surname since ancient times, it can be nameless, but how can it be nameless?
Ye Sili was about to ask again, but she heard that the mother of the child was calling them home, so she had to let the child go back.
After returning to the city, it was getting late, and Xiao Ling had to go back to the palace obediently while he was still in the lockdown.
"Why don't you go through the gate and go over the wall?" Mu Jiufeng turned around and found that Ye Sili had secretly walked around the corner.
Seeing Mu Jiufeng standing outside, Ye Sili hurriedly pulled him to the corner, Jian Xia and Yuan Mu observed the surroundings, Ye Sili explained in a low voice:
"I'm also on lockdown, so if I hadn't gone to tea with my grandfather and other adults today, where would I have been able to sneak out?"
"You snuck out? Li Wei actually agreed? Mu Jiufeng pondered, Gu Liwu listened to Prince Yu's words more on weekdays, and he would actually let her come out?
"yes, why didn't Ah Yu stop me? Oh, now is not the time to talk about this, grandfather must be back at this hour, and after I go inside, you can go through the main gate and go in. After that, Ye Sili was going to raise his legs and climb over the wall.
Mu Jiufeng looked at her jokingly, Ye Sili turned around and said anxiously:
"Nine Winds, you're a helper."
Mu Jiufeng couldn't help but look at Ye Sili with a smile.
"Fool."
After that, Mu Jiufeng grabbed Ye Sili's arm with one hand and supported her shoulder with the other, performing light skills, easily climbed over the high wall, and skillfully evaded the guards and entered the Yulan Courtyard.
Outside the wall, Yuanmu and Lianxia were left looking at each other awkwardly.
"You need ......" Motoki tried to reach out and ask if she needed help, but the three words were already red to the root of her ears.
Lian Xia glanced at him, and climbed over the high wall without saying a word.
Motoki followed.
Gu Liwu was sitting in the courtyard waiting, and Mu Jiufeng performed light skills and brought Ye Sili into the courtyard.
"Jiufeng, when did your light skills become so good? Not bad. Ye Sili saw her quietly enter the house, and finally escaped, and praised happily.
Mu Jiufeng instantly became proud, "This son ......"
"One of you went to the west of the city, and the other entered the palace, how could you come back together?" Without waiting for Mu Jiufeng to show off, Gu Liwu got up and walked towards the two of them.
"I accompanied Xiaoling to go shopping in the west of the city, and I happened to meet Jiufeng, so I went together." Ye Sili immediately explained, "By the way, did my grandfather ask me?" ”
"He was drunk, so I asked Twilight to boil the sobering soup." Gu Li replied.
"Fortunately, fortunately, I don't know which adult asked him out today, and I will thank him another day." Ye Sili breathed a long sigh of relief.
Mu Jiufeng swaggered straight into the house, and said as he walked:
"Don't worry, I know you remember me, but you don't have to wait for me in the courtyard in the cold wind on such a cold day."
Gu Liwu doesn't like to worry about people on weekdays, but at this time, he is unforgiving.
"The Nine Winds Princess, it seems that the wall of my Yulan Courtyard should be renovated, lest you accidentally fall."
"Can you get down to business first?" Ye Sili saw that the two of them hadn't changed their stinky temper for so many years, and they still didn't spare anyone when they met.
The three of them sat together, Mu Jiufeng changed his joke and said seriously:
"Zhang Song's wife Kou Niang doesn't seem to know what Zhang Song is doing outside, Zhang Song should be a veterinarian, and Kou Niang has not been exposed to outside incidents, from today's point of view, if the assassination is really done by Zhang Song, then he has no motive."
"Assassinating the royal family is a crime of murder and robbing the family, and who would risk such a thing without a strong motive?"
Mu Jiufeng thought for a while and said seriously: "However, Kou Niang said that she takes care of housework all year round, according to what I see today, she usually mostly heals livestock, but the calluses on her right hand seem to be only available to people who practice martial arts." And her gait and figure, which did not look like an ordinary country woman at all. ”
"Calluses?" Ye Sili tried hard to think about it, but she seemed to ignore it.
