Chapter 273: Suspicion
Yu Sheng just passed by only the "outer house", and dozens of miles further up is where the "inner house" of the Wei family is located, and it is also the place where the real core clan stays.
Here the green mountains and green waters, rare birds and beasts, occasionally carved tile houses emerge from the forest to show a corner, the small bridge and flowing water connect the white ripples in the distant sky, the hook fence is magnificent and strange rocks, strange flowers and plants, elk monster horns, the old ape climbs, the crane soars to the sky, the most peculiar thing is a natural arch on the mountain road, from the bottom to the top looks like a divine light and goes down, can not help but make people feel the feeling of worship.
Yu Sheng found that although there were many hidden houses here, there were not as many as he thought, and after asking Wei Qu'er, he learned that most of the core people of the Wei family lived in Dongfu and liked the feeling of being close to nature.
Since passing through the arch, the two changed to walking, not that this mountain has a ban on the void, but in response to Yu Sheng's request, Yu Sheng secretly let the sword remember the way, and at the same time released mustard grass to explore in the mountain, after all, as a mortal "miscellaneous servant", he could not blatantly fly in the mountains, and exploring the road is very necessary for him, a road idiot.
Half an hour later.
Wei Qu'er pointed to the large small courtyard in front of him and said, "This is where I live." ”
Yu Sheng glanced at the other party quite strangely, he didn't expect that the wife of the next head of the family would live in such a remote place, and no matter how she looked at it, it looked like a slightly larger farm house.
"I like quiet places!" Wei Qu'er explained casually, taking the lead in taking a step, and after entering the courtyard, Yusheng found that although the sparrows were small, there were all kinds of pavilions, tables and corridors, and there was even a small pond with dozens of koi fish.
"Miss!"
The real okra ran out of the house, both in terms of dress and appearance are the same as Wei Qu'er at this time, the only difference is the temperament on his body, which is obviously not as generous as Wei Qu'er, and his sallow little face seems to have endured a lot of wind and rain.
Wei Qu'er showed such a sincere smile for the first time, and gently waved her sleeve robe, after a burst of green smoke, a woman like a hibiscus out of the water appeared in front of Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng began to understand a little, why the two brothers of the Wei family were fascinated, this woman's appearance is completely worthy of the word "alluring the country and the city", especially the natural and fresh temperament that she exudes, Rao is Yusheng is used to seeing beauties, and he can't help but be stunned.
Wei Qu'er looked at Yu Sheng intentionally or unintentionally, and found that Yu Sheng's eyes had been very bright and unmiscellaneous, without any variegation, and while admiring it in his heart, he said to Okra: "Kwai Er, this is a new handyman, you tell him about the big and small things in this yard, I am a little tired and want to rest." ”
"Yes, Miss!" Okra held back her tears, and had a pitiful attitude, Yusheng secretly figured out to herself, this woman was a simple person at first glance, in fact, she could also see one or two from the other party's attitude, even if he and Wei Qu'er were sisters, but he was not disobedient to Wei Qu'er's words, and he didn't ask the reason for right or wrong.
Taking him as a handyman, Yusheng thought about why the other party had to ask her young lady why she suddenly wanted to find a handyman, but she didn't expect this woman to have no doubts, could it be that finding a "handyman" was in Wei Qu'er's plan?
"Okra girl, you don't seem to be curious about me at all?" Yu Sheng asked tentatively as he followed Okra to the backyard.
Okra tilted her head, nodded her dimples, and said suspiciously: "You are the person brought by Miss, why should I doubt it?" Now, the front is where you live, I live next to you, our yard is so big, I will serve Miss in the future, you can feed the fish and sweep the floor!"
Okra said and returned to work, Yu Sheng suddenly understood something, maybe for the other party, work and Wei Qu'er were all she had, and besides that, there was nothing that could move her, and she couldn't even doubt it.
"By the way, how old are you?"
In the face of okra's innocent "questioning", Yu Sheng couldn't open his mouth for a while, and he realized that he had long forgotten his age, Yu Sheng was very sure, this was the first time since he cultivated that someone asked his age.
Okra flashed her big eyes, stared at Yusheng curiously, and said to herself: "Miss is ninety-nine years old this year, and it will be her 100th birthday in nine days...... She can't remember her birthday every time, even her aunt doesn't remember it, and I have to remind her every year......"
Okra pouted and turned around to leave, in fact, Yu Sheng only said one word to her from beginning to end, and most of the time, she seemed to be talking to herself.
"Do you know how old you are?" asked Yu Sheng suddenly.
Okra stopped, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "I was born half a month later than Miss, Miss is ninety-nine this year, so I ......"
Yusheng's expression changed slightly, in the eyes of this woman, Wei Qu'er was really everything to her, while letting go of her heart, she didn't know why it added a little heaviness, her eyes looked into the air, and a light purple light flew by without any scruples.
"It's my uncle here!" Okra screamed excitedly, and trotted all the way back to the front yard, Yu Sheng glanced at the purple qi slightly, and then picked up the broom on the side and swept the floor.
The purple light came to the top of the small courtyard, and it fell without the slightest stagnation, and a burly, dignified man in the purple air showed his figure, dressed in a brocade robe, and his face was not angry and arrogant, and he had initially possessed the temperament of the head of the family.
If you compare it with Wei Jian together, Wei Ran looks more like a brother, with an innate calm temperament.
Especially with a palm-length beard, it looks even older, and I don't know if it's the needs of being the head of the family, or Wei Ran's own hobby......
"Uncle, you're here at last, miss......" Okra ran all the way from the backyard to the frontyard, and began to speak before she could catch her breath.
Wei Ran frowned, glanced at her lightly, and walked into the door without saying a word, at the same time, a melodious piano sound floated out of the room, and Wei Ran's footsteps involuntarily slowed down by half a beat.
At the end of the song, Wei Qu'er glanced up at Wei Ran, and turned her head coldly, Wei Ran suddenly smiled awkwardly, stepped forward and said, "Listening to Madame's piano, there seems to be something annoying?"
Wei Qu'er moved to the side and said rather sadly, "It's been a month since you last came here, right?"
"Uh...... Madame is not unaware that since my father went into retreat, I have to take care of all the affairs of the clan......
"Oh, then you have to personally inquire about the selection of maids?" Wei Qu'er glanced at the other party with great meaning, Wei Ran was suddenly extremely embarrassed, and persuaded with good words: "Madame misunderstood, how can those vulgar fans be compared with Madame?" My Wei Ran's love for Madame and you has never changed!"
Seeing that Wei Qu'er's face was much better, Wei Ran's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "I heard that Madame asked someone to bring a handyman back from outside......
"Are you spying on me?" Wei Qu'er's face changed, and Wei Ran hurriedly shook his head and said, "Madam has misunderstood again! Now is the critical period for my Wei family, and any stranger who enters and leaves the Wei family must be strictly checked, so as not to get mixed up with the official family......
"Wei Xian told you, right?" Wei Qu'er didn't eat the other party's set at all, Wei Ran thought about it and smiled: "This is also his duty." ”
"Hehe, his biggest duty is probably to spy on me, that handyman is in the backyard, if you don't believe me, just go and see for yourself to see if it's the Xiaoxiao of the official family, or my concubine!" Wei Qu'er said unceremoniously.
"Alas~ What are you talking about?How could the husband suspect you?I just don't understand, why would Madame suddenly choose a handyman from outside......" Wei Ran said, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Kwai Er, you go and call the new handyman!" Wei Qu'er didn't say much, and the obedient okra naturally ran back to the backyard, and after a while, Yu Sheng, dressed in cloth, bowed down and came to the house.
Wei Ran got up and came to Yu Sheng, and a breath of superiority flowed out: "Raise your head!"
Yu Sheng raised his head resignedly, like a handyman, Wei Ran frowned slightly, and suddenly stretched out a hand on Yusheng's shoulder, his brows wrinkled even tighter, but when he turned to face Wei Qu'er, all his doubts turned into a smile, and said: "Since Madam wants to find a handyman, why bother to find a mortal? There are a lot of monks in the clan to call ......"
"If I don't find a mortal, you're afraid you'll be more suspicious of me, right?" Wei Qu'er said first.
"This ......"
"Sister Qu'er, Sister Qu'er!" At this moment, there was a clear shouting sound outside the door, Yu Sheng heard this voice, and immediately his heart tightened, and his head couldn't help but lower by three points, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
"Huh, it's so lively here today! Wei Ran, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Wei Zhuhuo, and the little girl looked like she was grinning, as if she had arrived in her boudoir.
"Huo'er, if you don't prepare for marriage seriously, what are you doing here?" Wei Ran asked with a calm face.
Wei Zhu snorted softly and shouted, "I want to marry you!" my father is not here, why do you marry me off?"
Wei Ran said slightly angrily: "Eldest brother Mo Ruo's father, it is precisely because of my father's retreat that I made this decision on his behalf! Now that the official family is pressing each other step by step, as the daughter of my Wei family, you naturally have to contribute to the family, not to mention that it is a matter of time before you marry the Bai family, even if your father is here, you will have to marry into the Bai family sooner or later!"
"Phew, my father won't force me to do what I don't want to do, not to mention what kind ......of eldest brother are you? The eldest brother is Brother Wei Jian, and Sister Qu'er was going to marry Brother Wei Jian!
"Shut up!!"
