Chapter Ninety-Seven: Fifth Miss
Pretending to be stunned is not a long-term solution.
It's not the first time that Yang Zixian has used this incense to enter a dream, although there is a difference in how much the incense is inhaled, but no matter how weak the woman is, she will wake up on the second day.
Even with the cover of Mo Chun and Mo Qiu, Zhao Wanning had to open his eyes under Yang Zixian's gaze before noon on the second day.
Yang Zixian pretended to be deep, put on a high-minded appearance, and said in a cold voice: "Girl, are you awake?" ”
Zhao Wanning still remembered the effect of the dream incense that Mo Chun had said, the whereabouts of the silver candle were unknown at this time, and she didn't want Yang Zixian to know that she was not affected by the dream incense at the moment.
Zhao Wanning pretended to be weak and ignorant, her eyes were soft, and her voice was weak: "What's wrong with me?" ”
"I don't know." Seeing Zhao Wanning's puzzled expression, but it was not as cold as the first two times he saw him, Yang Zixian knew that it was because of the influence of the dream incense.
Yang Zixian said with a concerned face: "When I returned home, I saw you lying on the side of the road, so I brought you back." How do you feel about your body? Are you hurt? ”
Zhao Wanning rolled her eyes in her heart, this Yang Zixian can really talk nonsense with his eyes open. But she also knew the current situation, so she pretended to say: "Gongzi Xie's life-saving grace." ”
Yang Zixian coldly squeezed out a "Hmm." ”
Zhao Wanning said again: "Dare to ask the son, have you seen the maid with me?" ”
Yang Zixian thought of the stubborn little maid who protected the master, and brought it back yesterday and was casually locked in the firewood room, if Zhao Wanning knew that the maid was locked up, I am afraid it would be difficult to explain. Moreover, the maid is very sober, in case she tells Zhao Wanning of the causes and consequences, I am afraid that it will ruin his good deeds.
Yang Zixian pondered for a moment, and then said, "I haven't seen it." ”
"When I met the girl, there was no one else around the girl." Yang Zixian added.
Zhao Wanning had already guessed from Yang Zixian's evasive sight that the silver candle might have been brought back by him, but he didn't know where the silver candle was at the moment.
Yang Zixian had the idea of gradual progress this time, so he was not in a hurry. He asked tentatively, "Haven't asked the girl's name yet?" ”
Zhao Wanning said: "Zhao Wanning." "I thought in my heart, if Yang Zixian had long eyes, he should have guessed that she was the county lord of Qinghe, and it was best to let her go immediately.
But Yang Zixian is addicted to wine on weekdays, where does he care about these. When I heard the words "Zhao Wanning", I only felt familiar, but I didn't know where I had heard it.
Yang Zixian nodded and said, "Wanning, Wanning, like tranquility." Good name. ”
Yang Zixian's hard-working vassal elegance made Zhao Wanning very uncomfortable, but she only smiled lightly and asked, "I haven't asked for the name of Engong yet." ”
"I am Yang Zixian, the young owner of the salt field in Chengxian County, Qingzhou, and the girl can call me Zixian." Yang Zixian said leisurely, thinking that even if this woman didn't know the Yang family, she should know about the Chengxian Salt Farm. Now that I know his identity, I'm afraid I can't help but want to give him a hug.
After all, no one can resist the temptation of the young lady of the salt works.
Zhao Wanning didn't show it on her face, but she was very disgusted in her heart.
Since it has been decided to take it slowly, Yang Zixian doesn't want to press too hard all at once, and everything needs to be done in moderation.
Yang Zixian instructed Mo Chun and Mo Qiu to take good care of Zhao Wanning, and comforted Zhao Wanning to recuperate in the mansion with peace of mind, so he left first.
Only one sentence was left "Sister Wanning".
Zhao Wanning was disgusted by Yang Zixian's "Sister Wanning". But she also knows that now that she is alone, even if she reveals her identity, I am afraid that Yang Zixian will not believe it.
If you just don't believe it, if Yang Zixian has evil thoughts and wants to be a county horse, I'm afraid she will be even more dangerous.
Seeing Yang Zixian leaving, Mo Chun immediately slipped out of the courtyard and went to look for the silver candle when he went to the warehouse to receive supplies.
Mo Qiu brought lunch and served Zhao Wanning for dinner.
After lunch, Mo Qiu accompanied Zhao Wanning to enjoy the snow in the courtyard.
Zhao Wanning was planning how to escape from here, and she looked at the high courtyard wall built here, and she was very desperate.
This Wanglongshan Courtyard is the ancestral home of the Mo family, the momentum of natural cultivation is magnificent, the Mo family was also rich and wealthy at the beginning, and specially invited a famous craftsman to integrate this ancestral house with this Wanglongshan Mountain, and this mansion is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Zhao Wanning, a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, wants to escape from here, it's not easy to talk about.
Soon, Mo Chun came back with the news.
"Girl, I inquired, yesterday the son did bring back a servant girl, who seems to be locked up in the firewood room. The husband who was on duty yesterday said that a woman's shouting came from the firewood room in the middle of the night, as if she was about to climb the window to escape but was caught and beaten by the guards......"
Zhao Wanning's heart sank, she couldn't sit still anymore.
Zhao Wanning got up violently and rushed out.
Mo Qiu's eyes were quick, and he grabbed her and said, "Girl, calm down!" ”
Mo Chun also stepped forward to stop her and said, "Girl, I know you're worried about your servant, but now that the firewood room has been heavily guarded, how can you, a weak woman who is powerless, break through the barriers and rescue her?" ”
"Yes, yes," Mo Qiu also persuaded: "Childe is on the rise now, you have to think twice." ”
Zhao Wanning was so angry, she was worried about the silver candle, but she couldn't do anything at all.
Mo Chun and Mo Qiu saw that Zhao Wanning was suffering because of their maidservants, and they remembered their previous masters.
They used to serve in the Mo Mansion as the fifth lady of the Mo family, Mo Muchao, and the fifth lady was also so sympathetic to her subordinates, she never really regarded them as her subordinates, but as little sisters.
The fifth lady is talented and intelligent, but she was lost when the Mo family was destroyed, and I don't know if she is still alive now.
Zhao Wanning was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "I want to go around this mansion." May I? ”
Mo Chun and Mo Qiu glanced at each other.
Mo Chun knew that she wanted to survey the terrain in this mansion, so he said, "I'll ask Gongzi first to see if I can take you out of this small courtyard." ”
With that, Mo Chun left.
And Mo Qiu came to the bookcase and spread out the rice paper. Miss Five had taught her to draw, and although she was not good at it, it should not be a problem to draw a simple topographic map.
Mo Qiu explained to Zhao Wanning while drawing: "The terrain of this courtyard is complicated, and although the guards are not strict, it is not easy to avoid. I'm not good at drawing, so I can only give you a rough sketch. ”
"This is the Bishui Courtyard where we are, in the middle of the house, go to the left, through the garden, is Mrs. Mei's plum blossom courtyard. Mrs. Mei is the peasant girl I told you yesterday from a peasant family. Even if she followed Gongzi, she refused to return to Yang's Mansion with Gongzi, so she stayed in this courtyard. ”
"Mrs. Mei is cold, but she is very good to her subordinates, and she will not assassinate the woman who was brought back by the son because of the competition for favor."
"This is Childe's Cuizhu Courtyard, he often stays here when he has nothing to do, you must avoid here."
"Passing through this gate, you will arrive at the front yard, where the firewood room is located, close to the kitchen, and I am afraid that there will be many people. You must beware......"
Mo Qiu said in detail, and Zhao Wanning wrote them down one by one.
At the end, she couldn't help but ask Mo Qiu: "Why do you have to stay in this courtyard, I see that you and Mo Chun don't like this master at all?" ”
Mo Qiu laughed at herself, she folded up the simple map and handed it to Zhao Wanning, and then said, "Sister Chun and I are two low-level people, where can we talk about whether we like it or not." Whoever holds the deed of sale is our master, and where to choose. ”
Zhao Wanning thought for a while and said, "If you can, when I escape from here, I can save you out." ”
Mo Qiu just glanced at Zhao Wanning lightly and didn't speak.
Zhao Wanning thought that she didn't believe herself, so she said seriously: "I don't say this because I want you to help me, I mean it......"
Mo Chun, who pushed the door in, suddenly interrupted her and said, "Miss Zhao, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that we are waiting for someone to stay here." ”
"Wait for someone?" Zhao Wanning asked suspiciously. "Who?"
"Yes," Mo Qiu also said, "Wait for our fifth miss." ”
"Childe said that the girl could go to the garden." Mo Chun said: "Girl, do you want to go?" ”
Zhao Wanning nodded hurriedly. Now, she had to find an opportunity to find out the terrain of this courtyard, and then take the opportunity to rescue Silver Candle.
Silver Candle may have been injured, and it is not known if it is serious.
She was locked up in a firewood room, and she didn't know if anyone had brought food or clothes.
Zhao Wanning was in a heavy mood, and only felt that there was a gloom in front of her.
The garden in the annex is very large, and now it is winter, and the flowers in the garden are withering, and only a few evergreen trees are still standing in the garden, adding a touch of green.
On the east side of the garden are several rockeries, which are realistic in shape, overlapping and overlapping, and look at them with wild interest.
Zhao Wanning had no intention of appreciating it. She climbed straight to the top of the rockery, where a gazebo was built.
Yang Zixian has no interest in visiting the garden in winter, and Mrs. Mei, the only hostess of the other courtyard, does not like to go out, so this pavilion is ventilated on all sides, and there is not even a curtain to block the wind.
Zhao Wanning didn't care, the pavilion was the highest place in this garden, Zhao Wanning wanted to climb up, climb high and look into the distance, and see the layout of this mansion.
Due to the high location of the gazebo, the wind is also strong. Zhao Wanning stood in the pavilion, looking around, a roof.
The corners of Zhao Wanning's skirt were blown by the cold wind, but she didn't realize it. Try to match the houses you see with the map Mo Qiu has drawn, and if she can, she will be ready to act tonight.
Mo Chun and Mo Qiu stood silently aside, accompanying her in the cold wind.
Maybe it was the influence of the dream incense, Zhao Wanning was a little weak when he came back from the garden, and his face was abnormally red.
Mo Chun reached out and probed her forehead, Zhao Wanning's forehead was a little hot.
"I'll go get a doctor." Mo Chundao.
Zhao Wanning didn't want to make such a stir, and was worried that it would affect her actions at night, so she stopped her: "No need, it's just blown by the wind." I don't need to ask a doctor, I can just drink a bowl of ginger soup. ”
Mo Chun knew her thoughts, so he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to go to the kitchen to cook ginger soup.
Mo Qiu was by Zhao Wanning's side, and she brought a thick quilt from the cabinet and covered it for Zhao Wanning.
Covered with another quilt, Zhao Wanning felt much warmer, and her body was much more comfortable after being blown cold by the cold wind.
Seeing Mo Qiu's worried face, Zhao Wanning asked, "Mo Chun said that you are waiting for someone, who are you waiting for?" ”
Mo Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Wanning, Zhao Wanning's face was abnormally red at the moment, and he looked angry, but he tried to hook the corners of his mouth.
This reminded her of Miss Five, who was also sick and had a high fever due to her and Mo Chun's negligence, but she was afraid that they would blame themselves, so she endured the pain and teased them.
"We are waiting for the fifth lady of the Mo family."
