Chapter 12: Best Friends
The city is as lively and noisy as ever, and now it is the Spring Festival temple fair, and the merchants who come and go are endless. The carriage of the General's Mansion drove slowly through the crowd, and it was half an hour later than usual to arrive at the gate of Wanfangyuan.
Zhou Yuwan stepped out of the carriage with the support of her personal maid, she looked up at the plaque on the door and beckoned.
"Ah Ruo, have you brought everything?"
Ah Ruo held a mahogany box in his hand and replied, "Miss, don't worry, it's not bad." ”
Zhou Yuwan nodded lightly, and then took a step into Wanfangyuan.
As always, the people who came out to greet him were still bustards.
"Yo! Look who's coming! The old bustard couldn't even close his mouth when he smiled, and walked towards Zhou Yuwan with a handkerchief twisted step by step.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the bustard."
"Alas, Miss Zhou is really polite! Come and see our warbler again! ”
Zhou Yuwan didn't speak, and Ah Ruo said with disdain: "Knowingly ask!" ”
She stepped forward and opened the mahogany box, which contained all the finest gold and silver jewelry, half a full of it. The old bustard's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing the appearance of a wealth fan.
She smiled happily, almost snatching the box from Ah Ruo's arms and hugging it tightly, and her eyes never left the gold and silver in it.
Ah Ruo snorted and said arrogantly: "Bustard mother, everything is for you, our young lady wants to see Miss Yingying, why don't you let us in quickly!" ”
"Release, release! Let's put it! Miss Yingying is in the house, let's go inside!! The bustard mother didn't even raise her head, and pointed in the direction of the second floor and shouted.
Zhou Yuwan thanked her and took Ah Ruo upstairs.
Zhou Yuwan stood at the door, Ah Ruo stepped forward and knocked lightly, and Zuo Yingying really answered the door. After seeing that the person who came was Zhou Yuwan, he was in a trance.
Zhou Yuwan looked at her and just smiled softly: "Why are you stunned?" Is there a man hidden in the house? ”
With that, she craned her neck to look in.
Zuo Yingying said angrily: "Where is there a man hidden!" If you want to come, why don't you send someone to say it in advance. ”
Her gaze swept over Zhou Yuwan and looked at the staircase.
"Come in and talk, and Ah Ruo will come in too."
Ah Ruo smiled at Zuo Yingying and followed Zhou Yuwan into the house and closed the door.
Zuo Yingying pulled Zhou Yuwan's hand for a long time.
"Mom didn't embarrass you, did she? How much money did you give her this time? Every time you come, you have to break the bank, if you send someone to inform me, I will find an opportunity to come out to find you, why spend this unjust money! ”
Zhou Yuwan didn't think so, the two sat around the table, and Ah Ruo stepped forward to pour tea for the two of them.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm here on my own, wouldn't it be rude to let you come out to find me. And I have come today to ask for something. ”
Zuo Yingying smiled, "Do you want to invite me to go to the mansion tomorrow to celebrate the general's triumph?" ”
"I can't hide anything from you."
Zuo Yingying looked at her and was about to agree, and suddenly remembered Shen Yanbai's invitation that day, and now she was stunned.
"But...... A few days ago, a Shen Langjun also paid a deposit to invite me to perform at the General's Mansion, and I have already promised him. ”
Zhou Yuwan was puzzled: "Shen Langjun? Which Shen Langjun? ”
Zuo Yingying shook her head, "I don't know, it seems that he should be an official in the court, and he invited me to perform in the house because my career was hindered and I wanted to have a relationship with your father." I saw that he was pitiful and agreed. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuwan was slightly disappointed, and her tone was a little sour: "Okay, I was late." There has already been a Shen Langjun who has been invited first. ”
She deliberately bit the word Lang Jun very hard, Zuo Yingying smiled and nudged her.
"Tasted? Even a Lang Jun who has never met before wants to eat it? This is not the style of our General's Mansion, Miss Zhou. Anyway, I'm going to your house, and whoever asks for it is the same. ”
"That's right." Zhou Yuwan took a sip of tea.
At that time, the knock sounded again, and Zuo Yingying and Zhou Yuwan glanced at each other. Zuo Yingying immediately got up and opened the door - the person who came turned out to be Liang Rushi.
This scared the left warbler. It's not because Liang Rushi came to her, but because she didn't tell Zhou Yuwan about her relationship with the man in front of her.
Zhou Yuwan was really keen, got up immediately, and asked: "Yingying, don't you never accept guests?" Who is this son......?"
didn't wait for Zuo Yingying to speak, and Liang truthfully took the lead in introducing himself.
"In the lower beam, it is a good friend of Yingying."
"Friends?" Zhou Yuwan was even more puzzled.
Zuo Yingying was even more speechless, so she could only urge Liang to leave truthfully.
……
Sent Liang Rushi away, Zhou Yuwan couldn't hold back anymore. Not because of curiosity, but because of the comfort of a friend.
"Yingying, what the hell is going on?"
Zuo Yingying was speechless again.
"Are you already following him?!"
Guess it and you're right!
I have to say that Zhou Yuwan is smart.
"Changjing, he said he would redeem himself for me and treat me well."
"You fool!"
Zuo Yingying lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look into her eyes.
"How much you know about him, you dare to make a private agreement with him for life! You're a cleanman, do you know that if you do this, if you are found out by the people of Seleth, you will die! ”
At the mention of Si Le, Zuo Yingying's eyes burst out with a trace of poisonous resentment
"Of course I know this, you don't have to keep reminding me!"
Zhou Yuwan walked up to her and persuaded: "Yingying, I know you have always wanted to leave here, but you can't use this way. ”
"So what should I do? If there is no redemption here, you will have to die of old age! Changjing, I'm really not reconciled. You know, I was assigned to be a Qingqi because my father was guilty, and I should have been happy under my parents' knees like you, and then find a wishful husband to marry. But I don't dare to hope for any more, I just want to get out of here while I'm still young! ”
At this point, Zhou Yuwan couldn't say anything more, and all that came to her heart was distress.
She approached Zuo Yingying and gently hugged her, and Zuo Yingying lay on her shoulder and cried pitifully.
"Well, it's all my fault. I shouldn't be in a hurry with you. If you really like him, you always like him. If he dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll find someone to beat him!" ”
Hearing this, Zuo Yingying burst into tears and laughed.
"Changjing, you are everyone's beautiful girl, how can you say this. Plain makes people laugh. ”
Zhou Yuwan gently patted her back and didn't say anything more.
……
The forest is deep, and the crows are crying blood.
In a barren and desolate forest, a dozen stumbling black shadows walked along the bloodstains along the road, and soon stopped the seriously injured one in front of them.
The man was thinly clothed, covered in scars from his torture, and clutched a blood-soaked dagger tightly in his hand.
"So capable, keep running!"
The man was in front of him, not taking a half step, and his eyes faintly revealed a ruthlessness.
"No one here can escape alive, and neither will you. Kill him! Don't let him take everything he sees out of here! ”
As soon as the words fell, a black and oppressive figure rushed towards him, obviously trying to put him to death. But he was still not afraid, gritted his teeth and made a desperate bet.
A scuffle is on the verge of breaking out!
