Chapter 5: The Guest of Entry

The golden black fell in the west, and the jade rabbit rose in the east.

At night, the General's Mansion is quiet, and the red candles in the Rejuvenation Garden are flickering.

The ninth general of the first month will wait for Zhou Zhenzhen to take a bath, and he is wiping her hair at the moment.

"Landlord, there are people in this general's mansion who want to find our stubble, do you need to send a few more people to protect Aunt Qing secretly?"

Zhou Zhenzhen looked at herself in the mirror and said, "No need, there are many people, but it is easy to arouse suspicion." It's enough for Aunt Qing to have you by her side. ”

Chu Jiu didn't say anything more, but Zhou Zhenzhen asked as usual.

"Has Eleven already entered the capital?"

"If you go back to the landlord, Sister Eleven has already rushed back last night, and she is sitting in the Splendid Pavilion at this time."

"What about half strings? Haven't sent a message back yet? ”

Chu Jiu shook his head, "No, since he left Jinyulou to go to Lin'an, he only sent back three secret letters, and there has been no news for half a month now." The landlord, his subordinates are a little worried. ”

"Half String is not this kind of person who is out of tune, so he must have encountered some kind of predicament."

Hearing this, Chu Jiu's hand shook, and Zhou Zhenzhen saw her small movements through the mirror. She knew that Chu Jiu's heart was happy, and she hurriedly spoke comfortingly.

"Don't worry, I'll find an opportunity to get him back myself."

Chu Jiu lowered his eyes and thanked: "Thank you landlord, it will be fine if the landlord personally comes out of the horse." ”

Zhou Zhenzhen looked back and patted the back of her hand gently, "Remember to call me girl in the house in the future." ”

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will definitely protect Aunt Qing."

Zhou Zhenzhen retracted her gaze, and her gentle face was reflected on the bronze mirror.

……

In Wanfang Garden, a crowd of guests arrives. Shen Yanbai sat in a very inconspicuous corner.

During the day, the bustard said that he would take care of him, and this walk made him wait for four or five hours. He didn't know how many people he saw coming and going, and he always didn't see the old bustard, if he wasn't in Wanfangyuan, he thought that the old bustard had run away with money.

Shen Yanbai drank a few glasses of wine, held his chin with one hand and stirred the peanuts on the plate with chopsticks. Finally, the belated bustard came.

"Alas, Shen Langjun! Why are you sitting here in the corners? ”

Shen Yanbai put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be tired, and said, "It turns out that the bustard mother still remembers that she is here." ”

"Where can you forget!" The old bustard smiled and closed his mouth, "Shen Langjun, hurry up, I'll make sense of you on the other side of the Yingying girl." ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"Good, good!" Shen Yanbai happily got up and pulled the old bustard and walked upstairs.

Fang went to the door of the warbler room on the second floor, and the old bustard pulled Shen Yanbai, who was excited.

"Shen Langjun don't panic, take the tag."

Shen Yanbai took it, "What are you doing with this thing?" ”

"As soon as I saw Shen Langjun, I rarely came to our Wanfangyuan. Our Yingying recognizes the card but does not recognize people, Shen Langjun took this tag and went in, Yingying did not dare not accept guests. ”

"I see." Shen Yanbai looked at the tag in his hand thoughtfully.

The old bustard smiled and pushed the door open for him, pushing Shen Yanbai in.

The room is full of red silk and fragrant.

The red candle lit up. Behind the screen, the figure of the beautiful woman is beautiful.

Shen Yanbai had never entered the women's boudoir, and stood at a loss for a while, looking at the warbler behind the screen in embarrassment.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and the voice of the warbler slowly came out—

"Since Lang Jun is here, why are you standing there and not talking?"

Shen Yanbai was stunned for a moment, nervously clenched his sleeves, "I, I ......"

He swallowed, but Yingying had already walked out from behind the screen - holding the pipa in his arms, Qianqianyu picked up the bead curtain with her hand, and finally stood in front of Shen Yanbai.

I have to say that the warbler is indeed good-looking, not those vulgar fans outside, but a little beautiful. It's just that how could such a wonderful person have something to do with the grain and grass corruption case?

She hugged the pipa and made a "please" gesture to Shen Yanbai, and Shen Yanbai nodded at her and sat down with her.

"I have heard that the girl has good pipa skills, but she can only play one song a day. I came here to invite the girl to the General's Mansion to congratulate General Zhou on his triumph, so I found the old bustard to make an exception. ”

Shen Yanbai has practiced this rhetoric for a long time, and he is not afraid of being debunked by others. After all, the matter of General Zhou's return to the dynasty is true, so no one dares to make irresponsible remarks when he invites someone to congratulate him.

Yingying nodded slightly after listening to his words, and the expression on her face was still very calm.

"General Zhou's defeat of Beidi is indeed gratifying, but Yingying is not sure if she has time to go to the General's Mansion to perform."

Shen Yanbai knew that she would shirk it, and immediately put on a pitiful appearance. Although Yingying has lived in Wanfangyuan for a long time, she has always been a clear man, where has she seen a big man suddenly change his face, and he showed a nervous expression on the spot.

"Miss Yingying is the red card of Wanfangyuan, and it is normal not to agree to my request, only blame me for my bumpy career. Alas, don't hide it from the girl, I wanted to spend a lot of money to invite the girl to the General's Mansion, and I can be considered to be able to catch the line of the General's Mansion. But ......"

He let out a long sigh and got up and paced.

"If Miss Yingying is not free, then forget it, I will resign myself to packing up and go back to my hometown. It's a pity......" he said, looking around the house.

"What's the pity?" Ying Ying asked.

Shen Yanbai raised his voice, "It's a pity that after ten years of hard study, I will fall into the secret battle of the court and can't serve the saint, I hate it!! ”

The words of this sentence dragged the elder, and suddenly, Shen Yanbai saw the soles of his shoes that had not yet been put in the embroidered basket on the dresser. His eyebrows moved slightly, and a trace of certainty crossed his heart.

Yingying listened to his nonsense, but there was suddenly a touch of sadness and unwillingness in her eyes, as if she had thought of something. She quickly put down the lute and got up.

"Lang Jun don't worry, this busy Yingying helped."

Shen Yanbai snickered and turned around, "Really? ”

"That's nature. Isn't it just going to the General's Mansion to perform, and it's not difficult to think about it. ”

"Miss Yingying, thank you so much! You are simply a bodhisattva reincarnation! Shen Yanbai pretended to wipe a handful of tears, reached out and grabbed Yingying's hand and held it.

The warbler was unwell and pulled out her hand in a slightly embarrassed way.

Shen Yanbai also smiled awkwardly, and simply put his hands behind his back.

……

Coming out of Wanfangyuan, the moon has gone up to the treetops. There are still a lot of people coming and going on the long street, and Shen Yanbai suddenly found that it will be the Spring Festival Temple Fair in a few days, so it is no wonder that there are many people.

He walked down the street with ease, but his shoulder was suddenly held down by a chubby hand.

He was startled, and twisted the wrist of the person behind him violently, only to hear a begging for mercy, and Shen Yanbai realized that it was his close attendant Changfu.

"What are you doing running behind me if you have nothing to do?!" He was disgusted and let go of his hand.

Changfu rubbed his shoulders in pain, and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, you are not allowed to follow the slave maid for a day as soon as you leave, the slave maid is not worried about you!" ”

"How many times have I told you that you want to call me Childe outside!"

"Yes, yes, Childe!" Changfu compromises.

He followed behind Shen Yanbai and asked, "Childe, have you seen Miss Yingying today?" ”

"Ben Gongzi not only saw it, but also discovered a terrible thing." He pretended to be mysterious.

Changfu came up to him, and Shen Yanbai said mysteriously: "This Yingying girl is definitely not Qingqi. ”

"Huh?" He wondered, "What does this have to do with what you're looking for?" ”

"Stupid!" Shen Yanbai shook his head.

"I mean, she has men. Fang just saw a pair of unfinished soles in her room, and the size of the shoes looked like they were for men. It seems that the clues given by the East Palace are correct, as long as we follow the Yingying to investigate, we will definitely be able to find the stolen grain and grass. ”

Changfu let out a long sigh after listening to it, and nodded as if he didn't understand. Shen Yanbai glanced at him, not expecting him to understand. He stretched out his arm and put his arm around his shoulder, and Changfu almost didn't stand still.

"Let's go! Walk around with me! ”

"Still shopping!" Changfu wants to cry without tears.
