Chapter 281

Murong Danyan said this, looked at Mrs. Sha, Mrs. Sha smiled at her, and said, "Sister is really good at remembering, you actually remember what we said that night, did you think of telling this matter to Li Gongzi at that time?"

Murong Danyan's face turned red and said, "Mrs. Sha said that she laughed......

Mrs. Sha saw Murong Danyan's embarrassed expression, knowing the girl's temperament, she was inevitably shy in front of the person she cared about, and this joke was the best so far. Immediately said: "Sister, although we are new acquaintances, we are very close to each other, don't call me any lady or lady, if you can call me 'sister', it will be my blessing." It's just that I don't know if my sister wants to have a sister like me?"

Murong Danyan looked happy and said, "As soon as I saw you that day, I couldn't help but feel close, if I could have a sister like you, it would be great!"

Both women were smiling and chattering. Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "When you were doing it with that Sha Gongzi that day, at first glance, you saw Mrs. Sha standing on the side like a ghost, I was afraid that half of my soul would be scared away, how could I say, 'When I saw you, I couldn't help but feel close'?

Mrs. Sha and Murong Danyan talked for a long time, and then they remembered that Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng were still on the side, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Mrs. Sha said: "Sister, look at our sisters, but forget about business. You should tell Li Gongzi and Xiao Gongzi about the past few days, otherwise I'm afraid they will be a little anxious. ”

Murong Danyan stuck out his tongue for a moment, and then continued: "Mrs. Sha...... No, after my sister finished speaking, the old man said, "Don't worry, the old slave will go to the castle to find the second young master to inquire." The elder sister said, "Since Yiming's death, Yilu has become the lord of the castle, and his temperament is different from before, and he has become more and more perverse, thinking about some strange things all day long. If the uncle sees a heron, don't collide with him verbally. ’

"The old man said: 'Although the second young master has been busy with things over the years, and the old people in the castle are dying and sick, he has reused some newcomers around him, and he doesn't pay attention to us old guys. It's just that he grew up watching the old slave, and he is quite respectful to the old slave. The old slave went to find the second young master, but it was a big deal to eat him behind closed doors, thinking that the second young master would not do anything to the old slave. If he didn't see the old slave, the old slave would talk to some of the old brothers in the fort, and they would definitely know something. ’

When the old man had finished speaking, he took his leave. My sister smiled and said to me, "This Uncle Hou is really Jiang Gui's nature, old and spicy, and if he has identified a way, he will go all the way to the end!" My sister said while handing me tea: "Don't look at him now with gray hair and old age, he was a hero who crawled out of the pile of dead people with my old lady and my father-in-law, and saved the lives of my old lady and father-in-law. Alas. ’

"The more I listened, the more confused I became, and I didn't know what was going on in this castle. My sister saw that I was confused, and said to me: "Sister, have you heard of the name of Shajiabao on the rivers and lakes?" I nodded and said: "I heard a friend say that Shajiabao is an extremely mysterious place in the rivers and lakes, and the owner of the fort, Mr. Sha Yimingsha, is a martial arts hero, who once defeated Yan Wuji, the first master of the Jiangxi Yan family, and is a swordsman who shocked the world. ’

"After listening to me, my sister sighed and said: 'What martial arts hero, what is the world's fame, what is the use of these false names? I hope that he is an ordinary farmer, as long as he can be safe and sound, accompany me and Yu'er. When my sister said this, she looked sad. I saw that she was upset, but I didn't dare to ask more. She was distracted for a moment, and then continued: "Shajiabao is not famous in the rivers and lakes, because although the people in the fort know martial arts, they have never had anything to do with the people in the rivers and lakes. The ancestors of the Sha family contributed a lot to Emperor Chengzu in the Battle of Jingnan and won a lot of military achievements. After Emperor Chengzu ascended the throne, in order to reward the merits of the ancestors, he not only promoted his official position, but also conferred a knighthood. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have not been many heroes who have been knighted for military merits, which is the glory of the Sha family. It's just that the ancestors witnessed the tragic situation after the defeat of Emperor Jianwen's next group of ministers, and they had palpitations, and often said to themselves that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, so they retreated. He knew that Emperor Chengzu had a mean temperament, and it was best to be suspicious, and if he was not careful, a catastrophe would come. He did not resign from his official position immediately, but recuperated at home all day on the grounds that he was injured. The imperial court sent an imperial doctor, and when he saw that the arrow wound suffered by the ancestor during the battle of Jingjing had not healed, he truthfully reported it to Emperor Chengzu. Emperor Chengzu allowed the ancestors to recuperate at home without going to court. ’

"At that time, the sons of the ancestor thought that the emperor believed that the ancestor could not continue to be an official, but the ancestor said that you must not be sloppy. He did it in such a way that his wife was kept in the dark, except for a few of his older sons. ’

"'Sure enough, after the ancestor had been ill for five years, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family was gathering for Chinese New Year's Eve. The ancestor pretended to be seriously ill and was carried to the lobby on a chaise longue to accept the kowtows of everyone up and down the palace. At that time, the ancestor was covered with a thick quilt, and the coughing sound in his mouth continued, and the grandmen and daughters and servants of the family stepped forward to kowtow to the ancestor in turn. The ancestor shrunk in the quilt and couldn't even speak clearly, so the eldest son of the ancestor had to give everyone a New Year's gift of silver instead of him. After the children of the family kowtowed, the next thing was for the people to kowtow to the old lady. When everyone had finished kowtowing, the last servant was left standing in the lobby and did not kneel to the old lady. ’

"'This servant came to Shafu five years ago and served as a subordinate of the house to plant flowers and grass, and his monthly salary was seven pieces of silver. Since Shafu has a knighthood, there are many servants. Since this servant arrived in the mansion, he has been silent, and he only plays with flowers and plants on weekdays, and has never attracted attention, and he is a very ordinary subordinate. On that day, everyone in the house kowtowed to the old lady, but this person finally stood in the lobby in a big way, neither saluting Mrs. Sha, let alone kneeling and kowtowing to the old lady. At that time, everyone was surprised, the chief housekeeper in the house was originally happy, but his servants were so rude, they were afraid that the owner would blame him. He was shocked and angry, and hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to kowtow to the old lady by pressing the man's head. ’

"Unexpectedly, with a slight wave of the man's right hand, the great butler fell into the courtyard, and with a crackling sound, crushed many flower pots, and for a moment could not get up. When there was chaos in the middle of the hall, several old servants of the family came forward to surround the man. It must be known that the old lady won the title by virtue of his military merits, which is a fame earned by a knife and a shot on the battlefield. These old servants were his personal soldiers back then, and all of them had martial arts. Seeing that the servant raised his hands and feet, he threw the chief butler out of the door, and his arm strength was really not small. In the battle of Jingnan, the old lady killed countless enemy generals on the battle array, and also followed King Yan when he was not the emperor to suppress bandits around Beiping, whether it was in the court or in the rivers and lakes, there were many enemies. The old servants thought that the man was an assassin sent by the enemy to assassinate the old lady, and fearing that he would hurt the old lady, so they rushed forward and surrounded the man. ’

"But the man didn't panic, arched his hand at the old lady, and said, "Don't panic, Lord Sha, the lower officials are not here to embarrass Lord Sha. To tell the truth, Xia Guan is the deputy Qianhu of Jinyi Guard, and he was ordered to go to Sha Daren's mansion on an errand five years ago. In the past five years, although Sha Daren could not go to the court, he has always been loyal to the emperor, law-abiding, and cautious in everything. Today is the last day of the Xiaguan's errand in the Sha Daren's mansion, and he has been with Sha Daren, Mrs. Sha, and all the sons for five years, and he has taken care of him, and the Xia Guan is grateful. On the occasion of parting, Xia Guan thought that it would be better to meet Sha Da openly and honestly, so he specially came to say goodbye to Sha Da, Sha Da and Sha Da, and all the sons. ’”

Murong Danyan quoted Mrs. Sha's words and said here, Xiao Zhanpeng said: "I can't imagine that this Jinyi Wei is so stoic, and he can go undercover for five years in a family, and ordinary people don't have this perseverance." ”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Spying on news and undercover lurking were originally Jinyiwei's forte. The first time Brother Xiao heard this kind of thing, he thought that this was a great act, if he knew that there were people in the Jinyi Guard who had been pretending to be slaves undercover for ten or even twenty years on the Tartar steppe, he was afraid that he would be shocked!"
