Chapter 3 The Storm of the Building
Early the next morning, Ye Lingwu curled up on the bed, and when he was sleeping darkly, there was a sudden knock on the door in his ears.
"Miss Lingwu, it's time to get up."
Mama Xuan's voice.
Ye Lingwu lifted his heavy eyelids, and it was still dark outside the window.
is used to wandering in Daiyue Town, and Ye Lingwu naturally can't get up at this point, so I saw her turn over and continue to sleep.
There was no response for a long time, and Mama Xuan was a little anxious, and the force of knocking on the door became heavier and heavier.
"Miss Lingwu, it's too late, you have to get up!"
In the end, Mama Xuan shouted until her voice was almost hoarse, and Ye Lingwu came to open the door with a big coat, and the sleepiness on her face did not decrease at all, which really made Mama Xuan angry enough.
After breakfast, Ye Lingwu obediently knelt in front of the tea table, watching Mama Xuan slowly fiddle with the tea cup.
"What time does Miss Lingwu start on weekdays?" Mama Xuan poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
Ye Lingwu took it with both hands and replied: "There is nothing to do in looking for the sun, and it starts around every hour." ”
Mama Xuan's brows tightened, and she shook her head and said, "It seems that the Ye family really didn't teach you any etiquette,...... I wonder what books Miss Lingwu has read? ”
"Books?" Ye Lingwu raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were confused, and the two mouths seemed to be glued together.
At the age of seven, he was thrown to Qingquan Temple, and at the age of nine, he was picked up by Song Gan, and by the age of fourteen this year, it has been eight years.
She can read and write, thanks to the chanting nuns.
In the years that followed Song Qian, he planted vegetables in the countryside, fished in the river, hunted with archery, cooked and washed clothes......
You can learn everything, but you have never touched anything in books.
Ye Lingwu lowered his eyes and said lightly: "I haven't read a book." ”
Mama Xuan was not surprised by this answer, and asked again: "What about the female red?" ”
"No, it won't."
Mama Xuan's face showed a little disappointment.
After a while, she cleared her throat and said, "It doesn't matter, whether life is good or bad in the world, the key is to see whether it is pleasing or not." ”
Ye Lingwu frowned slightly, and said blankly: "Cute? ”
Mama Xuan said: "Miss Lingwu will enter the gate of the Hou Mansion in the future, and she will serve by Mrs. Shen's side, if Mrs. Shen likes you, it is not impossible for you to follow Miss Hou to learn together." ”
"Is Mama telling the truth?" Ye Lingwu's eyes lit up.
Mama Xuan said: "Having said that, the capital is not Yuzhou, and the Hou Mansion of Ningbei is not the Ye family, and the people and things encountered are not the same. ”
After that, she took a sip of the tea bowl and continued: "As the founding father of the Ningbei Hou Mansion, the old lady Shen has been fighting on the battlefield with the old marquis for many years, and she was also a female general who does not let her eyebrows go. ”
Ye Lingwu was dumbfounded.
knew that Mama Xuan's words were teaching her.
The waves were flat, the southward wind puffed up the sails, and the five-day journey was soon halfway through.
The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the surface of the sea, and the dark waves of the bottom of the sea rushed to the surface of the water, and the originally stable building ship suddenly became noisy.
Ye Lingwu and Rong Xiu Tanchun curiously pushed open the door, the building was noisy, and the guards were searching the rooms on the lower floors one by one, and there were many people standing in the corridors on each floor.
On the side, there happened to be a couple discussing.
The man said: "Master Fan is actually in this building ship, so he went to visit if he knew about it." ”
The woman glanced at him and said, "You still want to visit, everyone is burning their eyebrows, brought back to the capital from Yuzhou, the thousand-year-old ginseng worth 1,000 taels of gold was stolen unknowingly, and after a while, I'm afraid that even the people on our level will have to be searched clean by the guards of the building." ”
"It's a search, it's not you and me anyway." The man looks like he doesn't care about himself, and he looks like he's hanging high.
Ye Lingwu followed the man's gaze and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade coat standing in the corridor outside the "No. 1" room opposite.
He stared at the commotion below, his face expressionless, and there was even some preoccupation between his eyebrows.
"It turned out to be Master Fan in the capital, no wonder there was such a big battle." Tanchun looked suddenly understood.
Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "Do you know that Master Fan?" ”
Tanchun was stunned when he heard this, covered his mouth and snickered: "Miss Lingwu has really been in Yuzhou for a long time, and she doesn't even know about Master Fan Kunfan. ”
"......" Ye Lingwu pursed his lips and was silent.
Rong Xiu coughed lightly, reminded Tanchun to pay attention to his words, and then explained: "Master Fan is a well-known rich businessman in my dynasty, and he is as rich as the country, so we have naturally heard of it when we live in the capital. ”
Ye Lingwu nodded abruptly, lowered his head and saw the man in Xuanyi standing in the corridor on the fourth floor last night.
In the noisy building ship, there is silence.
Behind him stood a strong man in black brocade, holding his chest high and his hands behind his back.
Ye Lingwu was strange, and remembered the words she heard on the deck last night, and her intuition told her that there was a big mystery in this theft case.
"You don't stay in the house, but you join in the fun." A very serious voice suddenly came from behind.
Rong Xiu and Tanchun saw that Mama Xuan came out, and hurriedly lowered their heads. Tanchun secretly glanced at Ye Lingwu, who was also at a loss, and said, "Don't blame Mama Xuan, we came out with Miss Lingwu." ”
Ye Ling raised her eyes and looked at Tanchun in a foggy manner, what did it matter to her?
Mama Xuan was indifferent. She naturally didn't blame Ye Lingwu, and after softly talking to the two little maidens, she led the three of them into the house.
It was quiet at night, and there was still no quiet outside.
Ye Lingwu sat in front of the desk and practiced calligraphy unhurriedly, originally wanting to calm down, but it became worse and worse when he wrote it later.
The words I heard last night kept flashing back to my mind.
The man in the dark clothes has an extraordinary posture and a mysterious identity, Fan Kun is smuggling, he investigates, then he is at least an official.
There are more than 100 people in the building boat, and Fan Kun suddenly made such a big battle, then he must have known that there were people in the building boat who were investigating him, so he took control of the building boat on the grounds that his valuables were lost, and took the opportunity to find out the people who investigated him.
Let the boatman and Fan Kun search.
Who is that masked man?
Ye Lingwu glanced at the closed door, shook his head and continued to write.
None of this has anything to do with her, and in the current situation, that person is afraid that he can only return in vain.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the outer door, and Ye Lingwu got up and was about to open the door to check, but he heard a squeak, and bursts of messy footsteps poured in.
“…… You little guys can be careful, we are from the Ningbei Hou Mansion! ”
In the outer hall, Tanchun was angry.
"Our lord has lost the treasure, even if you are from the Ningbei Hou Mansion, you have to search for it."
These little guys don't pay attention to the girl in front of them at all, and the appearance of the scoundrel is no different from that of a ruffian.
provoked Tanchun to be furious and said: "Phew! It's just a businessman, and they dare to provoke the nobles of the dynasty, and they don't care! ”
"What are you doing with so much nonsense, search her!" Another little guy said.
"You ...... You dare to ......," Tanchun's tone panicked.
Inside the house, Ye Lingwu saw the group of small guys surrounding her through the screen window, and she was so angry that just as she was about to push the door to theorize, she heard the voice of Mama Xuan outside-
"Wait!"
The four or five little girls stopped their movements, and turned their heads to look, only to see an old woman with goosebumps and crane hair open the door.
"You are so bold, it's just that the Hou Mansion of Ningbei doesn't take it seriously, and even dares to openly slander the innocence of your daughter's family, I want to meet your master and ask what the truth is!"
When the words fell, Mama Xuan walked over the little guy and walked out, and the group of little guys was so frightened that they hurriedly stopped her.
One person came out to play a round game: "Mama has something to say, don't blame you if they don't understand." ”
Knowing that they had touched a hard nail, the faces of the little servants were also serious, and they nodded and agreed: "Don't blame Mama, since you are from Ningbei Houfu, there is no need to search this house." ”
"That's it, let's close the door and leave, Mama, you can rest early."
Mama Xuan looked at a few people with contempt and was silent.
Tanchun rolled his eyes and said reluctantly: "People are afraid of ignoring it, dogs are afraid of clamping their tails, and they know that it is not easy to provoke, so they whisper." ”
A few little guys looked ugly, but they didn't dare to get angry, and Tanchun spitted a few more words before letting them "get out".
