Chapter 60: Chinese New Year's Eve
When Song Yu returned, Hanjiang City was still shrouded in a joyful atmosphere, and the sound of firecrackers was non-stop.
Standing on the city wall, you can faintly hear the cheerful laughter of some children playing outside.
Except for the participants, no one knows what happened outside the city on this Chinese New Year's Eve.
Looking back, on the large farmland in the east of the city, not only can there be no traces of fighting and not a trace of blood, but even the messy ground that has been trampled on has been smoothed and covered by the large snowfall rolled up by the strong man's powerful true qi!
It is estimated that the defenders who left the city later were also given gag orders.
Even if some rumors come out in the future, it will not be a big deal, and everything will disappear next spring.
In order to let the people in this city have a peaceful New Year without any psychological pressure, the prince is really attentive.
As a participant and witness, at this moment, an inexplicable feeling of emotion and pride surged from Song Yu's heart.
Quietly returning home, the lanterns in the yard were still bright, but quiet, without any sound.
Song Yu came to the warehouse of the middle courtyard and threw out seven or eight beasts in the seal space first.
Go and open the cellar entrance and follow the steps down.
It's not cold inside, but the temperature is not high, and as soon as I walked halfway, I heard Caiyi's cold voice asking: "Who?" β
Song Yu: "I, why don't you light the lamp?" β
The next moment.
The women who were hiding in the huge cellar breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Xueqi's voice trembled slightly and asked, "Brother, are you okay?" β
Song Yu said: "It's okay, don't be afraid." β
Then the lights came on, Song Yu looked at the charming but worried faces in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the matter has passed, I got some beasts back, just outside, use the cauldron later, let's cook meat and eat!" β
A group of young girls came outside with him in a daze, and were immediately frightened by the jackals, tigers and leopards piled up in the yard.
Then he looked at Song Yu with a dull expression.
Song Yu smiled and said: "Tonight for some reason, a large number of beasts have gathered outside the city, and it is speculated that they may be controlled by monsters, so I told you to hide at that time, and now the crisis has been resolved, but don't spread this matter, so as not to cause others to panic." β
The girls looked at Song Yu with beautiful eyes, although the master explained it to them, there were still a lot of mysteries!
For example, when things happen, everyone is together!
How did you know?
Another example...... The seven or eight fierce beasts in front of him, ranging from big insects to hungry wolves, and the leopard with bright fur that was far beyond ordinary of its kind.
Almost all of them were killed by one hit!
Who killed it?
Ye is a skilled swordsman, but even if he can kill ...... How did you get it back?
These questions linger in everyone's hearts, not to mention them, even Song Xueqi is full of shock.
But in the end, the girls didn't ask anything.
Because if he can say anything, the master will definitely say, not to mention, the first time the danger comes, the first people he thinks of are them.
Caiyi walked over, looked up and down, and looked at Song Yu: "Master, then let's eat this big worm first today?" The slave hasn't eaten it yet! β
Qing Dai also leaned over excitedly, stretched out her little hand and touched it, and said, "I heard that this thing is full of treasures all over the body, teeth and beards can ward off evil spirits, bones can be used in medicine and wine, and there are ......."
She suddenly froze, looked at Song Yu with a red face and said, "Anyway, just leave these things to us, and promise that nothing will be wasted!" β
The other girls also blushed and laughed.
Song Yu smacked his lips and said without changing his face: "There are two big insects, one of which is ...... Well, soak in wine, I'll send it to Huang's house tomorrow morning! β
I don't know if Uncle Huang can have a younger brother and sister who is not so simple with his uncle after drinking...... I'm not very old, but it's good to be old.
My filial piety touches the heavens and the earth!
Do you want to take the rest to the capital to the general manager?
No way...... Forget about this, I'll keep it for myself, maybe I can use it later.
"I'm tired, I'll prepare some bath water for you, take a bath and rest for a while, and then go to worship the gods and ancestors." Caiyi saw the tiredness from the depths of Song Yu's eyes, walked up to him and said softly.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Song Yu said.
"Do things for the master, the slave is happy!"
A group of girls quickly got busy, including Song Xueqi, who was also puzzled about tonight's events.
Although she is now the only female owner in this family, because of her background since she was a child and her experience as a maid in the Cui family over the years, even if she began to enjoy wealth and nobility, she never put herself in a high position.
On the contrary, they mingled with these girls and got along with each other like sisters.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Song Yu's whole body was soaked in hot water, and only one head was exposed on the surface of the water.
Even if he recovered all his physical strength through that blue crystal, and even had a surplus, it was difficult to completely relieve his mental exhaustion in a short period of time.
As soon as you close your eyes, you will see images of those ferocious beasts pounced on you.
and the cold light of the sword after sword he slashed, and the ...... Splattered blood.
At this time, when he was close to the son, it was said that he should get up to worship the gods and ancestors, but he was lazy and didn't want to move.
The door was gently opened, and there was a slight sound of footsteps, and the next moment, a pair of soft little hands gently rested on his forehead, and at the same time, the soft and soft voice of Caiyi was heard.
"Master, I'll press your head."
"Okay."
Outside, the sound of firecrackers became more and more intense, almost completely connected.
The room was quiet, except for the sound of two people breathing.
The Caiyi massage technique is quite clever, especially to relieve fatigue, and after only a while, Song Yu felt a strong sleepiness.
In a daze, I heard Caiyi say softly: "Master, there is something that the slave has to confess to you......"
"Uh-huh......" he replied.
"The slave was poor since he was a child, and was sold to the Qinglou by his parents, and he was lucky to meet the water lady, and he was appreciated, and treated me like a sister, and I learned literature and martial arts with her...... Later, under her recommendation, I joined the Demon Prison Division, although I am still a Qinglou girl, but I also secretly have the identity of the imperial court......"
"It's not a bad thing, but I'm a little curious, why did you agree to come in the first place?" Song Yu asked softly.
He hadn't mentioned it to Caiyi and Green Lotus for so long, maybe he was waiting for this moment.
It can also be said that he is a little selfish.
Men, they always hope that the women around them are open to themselves.
The identity of the Demon Supervisor is inconvenient to be easily exposed, but it is not a top-level secret organization, and it is not easy to be exposed, and more because it is difficult to carry out the work after being known.
Especially a department like the Wind Character Section that does intelligence work.
Everyone knows that you are a secret agent of the imperial court, who dares to speak freely in front of you?
"Actually, I refused at first," Caiyi said with a chuckle, "I was even a little embarrassed at the time, it is true that the deed of sale is still in Cuifang Building, but I am also a person with an official status in the imperial court, that is, the prince, if I don't want to, he can't force me out." β
"The eldest lady told me at the time that this was actually a conversation between the Qi Palace's Mansion and the Grand Administrator of the Demon Prison Division, although I don't know much about the inside story until now."
"But she told me that the master was you, in fact, I had already heard of the master's name at that time, so I was a little hesitant."
"After the persuasion of the eldest lady, I also figured it out, even if the slave has the status of the court? After all, I still can't see the light, and it will be difficult to get rid of my cheap status in this life. Maybe one day I will be taken by a big person, and the identity of the Demon Supervisor may not be able to stop me from it......"
Caiyi's voice became softer and softer: "Now the slave is very grateful to the eldest lady, so that the slave has such a good home, not only the slave, but also the other sisters, after coming here, it is like really living in this world, the lord gave us the dignity and decency that we didn't dare to think of before." β
"Dan slave status...... But it's always a problem, two days ago I went to see the eldest lady, and secretly asked her opinion, she said that the slave can tell the master, and since then the slave has been looking for opportunities, and he is worried, afraid that the master will dislike it...... In fact, there is also Green Lotus, and she also wants to find a chance to confess to her grandfather......"
Song Yu had already recovered most of his time at this time, listening to the soft and gentle confiding of his heart in Caiyi behind him, and said with a smile: "What's this, I also have a lot of things I haven't told you." β
"That's the master's secret, the slave is the master's person, and it shouldn't be hidden." Caiyi said softly.
"Actually, the eldest lady told me about you and Green Lotus before, including the incident that you didn't know the inside story, it's easy to say," Song Yu tilted his head back slightly, looking at Caiyi's delicate face, "I saved Xiao Qing, the silver medal manager of the Demon Prison Division, before, so she gave me a token, by the way, I have a silver token, I think you should have heard about it." β
"I was still scaring those families before, otherwise why would they send us so many antiques?"
Song Yu said with a smile.
"Slave...... I did hear about it, but I didn't dare to ask. β
"Because of this opportunity, the chief manager of the Demon Supervisor Division appreciated me and wanted me to go to the capital to join the Demon Supervisor Division. The reason why I didn't mention this to you before is mainly because I don't feel very necessary, after all, I haven't gone yet, and the token is not mine. As for who you are, I really haven't paid much attention to you...... But I didn't expect to bring you and Green Lotus a lot of confusion, and I didn't think about it. β
"Master, don't say that, to be able to follow you, it's a group of girls who are fortunate to have ...... three lives" Caiyi's soft voice had a hint of sentimentality, and she said with a little choked up: "This is the happiest year that slaves have lived since they were children!" β
Song Yu smiled and said, "Where is this?" It will only be happier in the future! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Song Yu, who was dressed in good spirits, worshiped God and ancestors in the ancestral hall.
Respect heaven and earth first, and then worship ancestors.
With a solemn countenance, he inserted the incense into the censer, and then knelt down respectfully, and said silently in his heartβ
Song Yu for all generations, all of you Song ancestors and ancestors, please bless me in this world, I can have a smooth sail in this world, have many children and blessings in the future, and spread branches and leaves for the family......
Coming out of the ancestral hall, I came to the gate with a group of girls, and after setting off a large number of fireworks and firecrackers in laughter, I returned to the restaurant, ate big insect meat, and celebrated the New Year!
