Chapter 8: Chestnut Cake

Aunt Hong brushed her sleeves and turned around to sit on the man, hooked the man's neck with both hands, and said coquettishly: "You dead ghost, you haven't come for so long, have you forgotten me." ”

"I can't forget you," the man was about forty years old, with a tanned face, a square face, and a black mole the size of a bean on his left chin, and he picked up the woman's chin, "I've suffered you all these years." ”

"When did you come to pick me up, I don't want to stay in this place," although Aunt Hong is nearly forty years old, she still has charm, and she is coquettish, but she is no different from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Wei Shuyan always felt that her coquettish appearance was the same as that poem, and she seemed to look a little similar, but she was red near Zhu and black near ink.

She and Shen Wei were lying on the beam, which was the only place in the room to hide, and she only prayed that the beam could support the weight of the two of them, and that the people below would never look up.

"Wait a minute, the master's great cause has not been completed, I can't take you away, and Yichun Courtyard can't do without you for the time being." The man said.

Aunt Hong: "How many times have you said this, forget it, a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost." ”

Hearing that, Wei Shuyan subconsciously looked at Shen Jiong, indeed, the man's mouth deceived people, and Shen Jiong's strange behavior was just playing tricks on her.

Shen Jiong crossed his legs on the beam, his back against the inner pillar, his eyes were innocent, that person was good-looking, his eyes were clear and transparent, as if he was conveying sincerity at any time, every time he looked at him, it was always like being cast a spell unconsciously to make people angry.

Especially when he laughs, it is like ripples in a clear spring, from the corners of his mouth that curves out of the curve to his eyes, and is transmitted by those bewildering eyes.

Wei Shuyan couldn't help but suspect that this man was a vixen, a male fox.

"You old fox."

Wei Shuyan thought about the fox in her heart, and the word fox also came to her ears, and the two of them looked down at the people below.

Aunt Hong's already light clothes have been half removed, and the scenery hidden in the depths is like a shadow, Shen Wei hurriedly raised his head and closed his eyes, his hands were folded, his lips were lightly opened, and he was silently reading something.

Wei Shuyan felt funny when she saw his panicked appearance, and she was afraid that she couldn't help but make a sound, so she had to bite her lip.

Man: "Did anyone touch you when I wasn't there?" ”

There was another voice from below, Wei Shuyan looked down, the man actually took off his clothes, revealing his dark and thick shoulders, it would be her turn to panic, Wei Shuyan is not an ignorant girl, what the two people below are going to do, she knows very well in her heart.

She pulled the person who kept chanting twice, trying to make him think of a way, but she didn't expect Shen Ji to pull Wei Shuyan's hand away without even opening her eyes.

Although she was not an ignorant girl, she was an unmarried girl, and she was eavesdropping on someone else doing this with a man, what was the matter, the two people below had gone to the bed, but fortunately the curtain covered the bed, and the two of them could not see the roof after they fell.

Wei Shuyan closed her eyes, her hand tightly clutched the sword inserted in the belt of her waist, she thought, anyway, the two people below are not good people, just jump down and kill with a sword, one hundred, and now she can't care so much.

Just as Wei Shuyan was about to draw her sword, one hand grabbed her wrist, it was Shen Jiong, he shook his head, signaling Wei Shuyan not to be impulsive, of course Wei Shuyan would not listen to him, one of the two wanted to draw the sword, and the other refused to pull it, and they were deadlocked for a while.

Until there was a knock at the door, "Aunt Hong, Aunt Hong, have you slept?" ”

Shen Wei held Wei Shuyan's hand, and the two of them held their breath, but their hearts beat hard.

They were full of anticipation, but the two people on the bed didn't seem to hear, but fortunately the person outside didn't leave, but continued to knock on the door, "Aunt Hong, there are guests making trouble outside, and they are shouting for a refund of the silver." ”

"What," Aunt Hong heard the words "return the silver", pushed away the man lying on top of her, sat up, and scolded, "What, dare to return the money, let the old lady see which turtle grandson it is." ”

"Go ahead, I'll take a look below." The man said to Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and followed the person who came to report the news, and the man also entered the secret passage, and the moment the door closed, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

*

Can you go slower? As soon as Wei Shuyan came out of Yichun Courtyard, she left Shen Ji far behind.

Shen Ji shouted while chasing: "Miss Wei, Miss Wei." ”

has not received a response, Shen Wei called the name: "Wei Shuyan." ”

The man in front of him finally stopped, and he smiled at it, and the man drew his sword pinned to his waist with his backhand, and turned around and slashed, if he hadn't flashed quickly, he would have been cut a wide cut in his chest.

There is no curfew at night in Gangneung City, but there will be officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and it is difficult for the two of them to dress up so that they will not be regarded as thieves, so they can only walk in the narrow alleys, although this is a residential area, if there is a fight, waking people up can also attract officers and soldiers.

"What are you doing?" Shen Wei lowered his voice and shouted.

Wei Shuyan pointed her sword at her, "Don't follow me."

Shen Lin was really wronged at this point, and when he came out of Yichun Courtyard, this road was relatively secret. Besides, they are not strangers anymore, and they have experienced life and death together, so don't they have a friendship on the same road?

However, Fang Cai's matter is really embarrassing, and it is normal for Wei Shuyan not to want to see him.

Shen Wei teased: "You won't be shy, right? ”

"It's you who are shy," Wei Shuyan naturally wouldn't admit it, she put away her sword and folded her hands together, "Amitabha." ”

Shen smiled helplessly, this girl really didn't praise at all. Wei Shuyan tried her best to cover herself, looked directly into the person's eyes, and pretended to be very determined, so as not to let the other party find out that she was weak.

But the eye suddenly approached her, and the warm palm covered her wrist.

Shen Lin: "You're injured." ”

Wei Shuyan only saw some small wounds on her hands at this time, and there were still some slags in them, which should have been left when she rubbed that Zhang Yan, she broke away from Shen Mu and retracted her hand, "It's okay." ”

Shen Ji: "Why are you okay, come with me." ”

Shen Mu took her to a pharmacy, he drew Wei Shuyan's long sword, stuffed it into the crack of the door, and after a few operations, the door opened.

Shen Lin found some bottles and cans from the medicine cabinet, "I'll take out the debris inside first, it will hurt a little, bear with it." ”

Shen Mu lowered his head, stared at the palm of the wound seriously under the candlelight, carefully picked out the slag one by one, he bit his lower lip lightly and held his breath, for fear of hurting the person, after all, a scream may cause countless troubles to the two of them, but he didn't expect that whether it was picking slag or applying medicine, Wei Shuyan actually didn't say a word but looked as usual.

Shen Ji raised his eyebrows, "You can bear it"

Wei Shuyan moved her wrist, "What is this injury, if you don't pull me to take medicine, it may all heal." ”

Wei Shuyan is different from ordinary ladies, her mother is weak, her father is busy paving his bright road every day, and her father has always valued her brother Liu Che, so it has always been the subordinates in the house who take care of her.

Where can they control her, she has been bumping and bumping since she was a child, no matter how big she is, she always gets into trouble, she is often punished, and when she returns to the Wei Mansion, she becomes a thorn in the side of the two families, assassination is common, and pain and injury are commonplace for her.

From childhood to adulthood, her grandfather was good to her, although her mother also loved her, but her strength was too small and too small to protect her, so she was determined since she was a child that she would never rely on others, since others could not protect her, then she would protect herself.

Shen Wei laughed at himself: "It's me who did too much." ”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"The two of us are in the house at night, and we are also stealing," Wei Shuyan glanced at the bottles and cans on the table, "You are not afraid that the Buddha will blame you." ”

"I'm here to save people, the Buddha will understand, and besides, we're not stealing," he said, pulling out a piece of silver from his waist and placing it on the table.

Shen Ji: "What are you going to do next?" ”

Wei Shuyan: "It's not okay to report to the official, I think there must be people from the government involved, but don't worry, I have my own plans." ”

Shen Jiong: "Just don't let me get fake silver tickets again." ”

*

When Wei Shuyan returned home, Wei Anling had already woken up, she took a look, Wei Anling still insisted on going back to Liu's house, and Wei Shuyan promised to send her back after she got well.

Wei Shuyan wanted to save her mother from the fire pit, but when she stretched out her hand to her mother, her mother did not give her a chance to seize it.

Mother's side can't be considered to be able to settle down for a while, and she can also focus on the fake silver ticket.

Fake silver tickets are related to the livelihood of the country, and she is a small citizen, even if she can find this den, it will be difficult to wipe them out.

She couldn't solve this matter alone, she asked Xiao Yu to send someone to the gate of Yichun Courtyard to keep an eye on, and if there were strange people coming in and out, they would come to report to her.

After only staring at it for a day, I found that a wave of strange people entered the courtyard through the back door of Yichun Courtyard, and they were carrying valuables with them.

Hearing the news, Wei Shuyan immediately rushed to King Chen's mansion, King Chen has been stationed in Jiangling City for many years, and her father is an old acquaintance, although King Chen is much older than her, but the two are like brothers and sisters, this person's character Wei Shuyan is very clear, so he is most assured to ask him to help in this matter.

"Miss Wei, please wait in the side hall, the prince will meet guests in the front hall," as soon as she entered the door, a maid came up to lead the way, she used to come to Chen Wangfu, so most of the people knew her.

"Is there a VIP visit?" Wei Shuyan asked.

"It's King Shu." The maid replied.

"King Shu?" Wei Shuyan muttered.

"Yes, King Shu is dignified, and Yushu is in the wind, he really lives up to the title of the most beautiful man in the world." The maid's face was full of adoration.

Beautiful man, it's a coincidence, there are really a lot of beautiful men in the world, and she has met two in the past few days.

The maid and Wei Shuyan talked about the deeds of King Shu, and the girl praised King Shu as having nothing in the sky and no earth, dancing with her hands, if there was pen and ink, she couldn't wait to draw King Shu out for Wei Shuyan to see.

When the maid was leading the way, she retreated as she spoke, and almost bumped into Shen Qing, the side concubine who came from the small garden.

"Concubine Shen atoned for her sins, and the slave maid was in too much of a hurry, so she collided with Concubine Shen for a while." The maid immediately apologized.

"Concubine Shen," Wei Shuyan also saluted.

The concubine on the side didn't blame, and raised her hand to signal the two of them to get up, "What are you talking about?" So happy. ”

"We were talking about some interesting things about the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago." Wei Shuyan didn't mean to hide it, but it was not good to discuss other men in King Chen's back house.

She can not stick to these etiquette, but she can't pull others into the water, not to mention, Shen Qing is very good, I remember that once she was punished for kneeling in the rain, Shen Qing also interceded for her, and in the two months after that, no one dared to punish her.

Shen Qing and King Chen are in love, but because Shen Qing is not from a high background, he has to be a side concubine, and he can't become the main family, too, in such an era, even the noble prince can't come by his own will, but it is better for her, the last businessman, at least she doesn't have to be forced to marry, and there is still room for choice.

"Yan'er, I don't go out much on weekdays, even the Mid-Autumn Festival is hastily spent in the palace, you can also tell me about it," Shen Qing pulled Wei Shuyan.

Shen Qing came from an ordinary family, he didn't talk about so many rules since he was a child, and there were many rules to abide by when he came to the palace, and only when Wei Shuyan came over could they be free to go crazy together for a while.

Wei Shuyan: "Okay." ”

"Stand down!" Shen Qing cleared all his subordinates.

She chatted with Shen Qing for a while, and the prince called someone to come over to pass on her, but she didn't expect that as soon as she mentioned the fake silver ticket, the prince said that she already knew everything, and asked her how she learned about it.

Wei Shuyan told all the reasons in advance, but she didn't mention it, Shen Jiong, she didn't want to grab credit, but it was best not to be involved in this matter.

Before leaving, King Chen left her to eat, but she refused, and when she left, she heard King Chen mutter, "Is the food in this palace?" No one can keep it. ”

There is a very delicious chestnut cake not far from the palace gate, Xiao Yu loves to eat it very much, every time she wants to eat, she inevitably has to let people come over to buy it, and finally come over, Wei Shuyan decided to go by herself.

But by the time she arrived, it was already sold out.

"Why is it sold out, it's still so early." I haven't been here for a long time, and although this store is popular, it won't be sold out at this time.

"That's the man, he bought all the chestnut cakes left."

Wei Shuyan looked at the person in front of the stall, and it turned out to be him.
