Chapter 3 (Reunion)
Because of Jian Zhen's injury, the whole Hou Mansion was in chaos, and it was obviously not a good time to mention the crown tomb again, so Jian whispered and simply returned to the bedroom, thinking about how to make his father change his mind.
"Since Hou Ye refused to let His Wife Xian enter the ancestral tomb because he listened to the senior monk, why don't we stuff some silver for the senior monk, ask him to say a few good words, and persuade Hou Ye to change his mind?" Ying Er said, pouring a cup of tea for Jane whispered.
Jian sighed softly, "Even if it is so easy, since the senior monk has won the trust of his father, he must have been in contact with the Hou Mansion for many years and has a great relationship with Qin Yi, and he is not someone who can fool us by stuffing some silver." ”
"Then, then, let's find a monk to pretend to be a high monk!" Ying Er was a little anxious.
Jane looked at her helplessly, "I don't have anyone to use in Kyoto, even if I find a monk, it is very easy to be exposed, and if I don't say it well, I will be beaten upside down." ”
“...... So we don't have any way to do anything? Ying Er's face was bitter.
Jane whispered for a moment of contemplation: "Not really. ”
"Big Miss has an idea?" Ying Er's eyes lit up.
"Father and Qin Yi are extremely face-heavy, if I make this matter known to everyone, I say that I will not agree to it, or I will find some of their handles and force them to build a tomb for their mother," Jane said softly, without waiting for Ying'er to respond, he vetoed it himself, "No, how the ancestral tomb is to enter and where it is buried, it is all exquisite, if they are forced, they must not be buried in the partial tomb, once the dust settles, even if I make a lot of noise, I am afraid that I will not be able to change it." ”
She was not afraid of the fish dying and the net was broken, but her mother was suppressed by the surname Qin for a lifetime, and her only wish was to finally take a step ahead of her and bury her as Lady Ningchanghou into the ancestral tomb.
This was the last thing she could do for her mother, and it was the reason why she had worked so hard to come to Kyoto, and she would not allow any mistakes to be lost.
"This can't work, that can't work, is it really necessary to wait until a hundred years after Hou Ye before Mrs. Xian can enter the ancestral tomb?" Ying Er's brow wrinkled deeply.
Jane looked at her with a funny look, "How come, if you let me think about it again, I will definitely find a way to build a tomb for my mother." "Hmm! Big Miss has been smart since childhood, and she will definitely be able to think of a way! Ying Er said busily.
Jane whispered the corner of her lips and took a sip of the tea from her teacup.
The shadows of the trees outside the window were mottled and the shadows were hurried, even if they were as far away as her courtyard, they seemed to be noisy.
Jian Zhen's injuries were worse than they looked, in addition to the severed right leg, the internal injuries were also extremely serious, and in just one afternoon, he vomited a basin of blood, and it was not until the evening that he turned around.
Although Jian Whisper felt that everything in the Hou Mansion had nothing to do with her, the matter of the Crown Tomb was still undecided, and there was still some decency, so she went to see Jian Zhen the next morning.
Jian Zhen's courtyard was the closest to the main courtyard, she walked a long way to arrive, just stepped into the courtyard, she heard Ning Changhou's angry scolding from the house——
"You said that you were not good at provoking anyone, but you provoked those plague gods!" If you are dead, it is okay, at least I don't have to worry about it, I am worried that the whole Hou Mansion will be affected by you! ”
"Hou Ye! Zhen'er has already been injured like this, why do you bother to say such hurtful words again, besides, if you are really willing to let him die, how can you ask so many doctors to heal him, and you are worried that you can't sleep all night? Qin Yi urged eagerly, "Besides, Zhen'er is also to protect the slow voice, what is wrong with him?"
"Yes, Daddy, obviously those people despised me first, saying that I look like a deceased person, and my brother is also to protect me, so don't be angry with him." Jane's slow voice followed suit.
Listening to the conversation between the family of three in the room, Jane raised her eyebrows softly, and was thinking about whether to go in now, when she heard Ning Changhou's angry voice: "Slow you? You know..."
As if he wanted to say dirty words, but because of his upbringing, he suppressed it, and only then did he grit his teeth and continue: "The one who said that you look like a deceased person is either Ji Yang or Zhou Qi, right?" Who in the court did not know, after they returned from mobei with Lu Yuan, they went on a rampage in the city of Kyoto, and many women were looked at by them, which one said that they were slighted?! ”
Mobei, Lu Yuan, looking for people...
Ken, surely not so coincidental, she did not know what Ji Yang and Zhou Qi, only knew lu Peizhi's two brothers, named Xiao Ten and Eleven, and their home was in Jiangnan, which had nothing to do with Kyoto... Well, it's all just coincidence.
Jane took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, before lifting her feet and walking into the house.
In the bedroom, the family of four still wanted to talk, and after seeing Jane whispering, they calmed down at the same time, and Jane whispered and pretended not to see their vitality, but only frowned because of the thick bloody atmosphere in the room.
"Father, I'll come and see Zhen'er." Jane whispered softly.
"The cat cries..." Jian muttered slowly, and shut up after being stared at by Qin Yi.
Jane glanced at her softly and walked directly to Jian Zhen: "Are you better?" ”
Jian Zhen didn't like this sister, but he was in front of Ning Changhou, and he could only sullenly respond, but there was nothing more. Jian whispered and didn't care, feeling that the task was completed, he turned his head to Ning Changhou and said, "Zhen'er still seems to be very weak, so why not ask the doctor to come back and see it." ”
"I've seen it all, there's nothing wrong with it," Ning Changhou looked at Qin Yi's mother and daughter with a bad expression, "Don't go out from today onwards, everything will wait until I see Lu Yuan." ”
Hearing Lu Yuan's name again, Jane whispered her eyes slightly: "What did Father go to him to do?" ”
"Naturally, I want to apologize!" Ning Changhou was angry, and glared at Jian Zhen on the bed fiercely, "You can't take the life of the old and young family of the Ningchang Hou Mansion because of a bad son!" ”
Jian Zhen shook his voice a little, and he didn't dare to put one in his ass.
Ning Changhou finished scolding and hurried away, Jian Whispered and pestle in Jian Zhen's bedroom for a while, feeling that the time was almost up, he turned around and left, ignoring Qin Yi and Jian Slow, who had ugly faces.
After coming out of Jane's quake room, Jane whispered to see a group of people busy, not stopping to move boxes to the carriage, several boxes have not yet been sealed, she casually scanned her eyes, it was two boxes of jewelry and gold and silver.
Jian paused softly and stopped a slave: "Where does Hou Ye plan to send these things?" ”
"If you go back to Miss Big, it is naturally Lu Fu."
Jane whispered slightly, and told the slave to get busy.
Ning Changhou had obviously laid down blood this time, and with so many boxes of things, he was afraid that he could empty most of the Hou Mansion.
When Ying Er came to her, she saw Jane sitting in the shade of a tree, staring thoughtfully at the busy slaves. She quickly greeted her: "Big Miss, what are you doing here?" ”
"I just want to figure out one thing," Jane whispered and looked up at Ying'er, a pair of eyes clear and clean, and a kind of seemingly innocent style, which was incompatible with her face full of rashes, "Maybe it is beneficial for me to set up a family affair, but this family affair cannot be a marriage, at least let the Ningchang Marquis pay attention to it and be willing to give me dignity." ”
Ying Er: "? Jane whispered the corners of her lips and returned to the courtyard in a happy mood.
On this day, Ning Changhou did not return until late at night, and the first thing he did when he returned home was to scold Jian Zhen, obviously he was angry outside, but after scolding, his expression was relaxed, and he estimated that this matter was in the past.
Because Jian Zhen had offended Jin Yiwei, the reception banquet prepared for her was postponed for a little more than half a month, and seeing that the red rash on Jane's whispering face began to disappear, Qin Yi could not sit still and once again proposed to handle the reception banquet.
"Since Madame attaches so much importance to whispering, let's do as Madame says." Jane whispered only one sentence and left. Ying Er followed, until she returned to the courtyard, she said indignantly: "Madame knows that the face of the big lady has improved, or it should be great in a few months, but she still wants to hold a reception banquet at this time, obviously to see your joke!" ”
"Sooner or later, it is better to do it sooner." In order not to let Qin Yi give up on her blind date, she rubbed a little more potato for half a month, and then did not hurry to set up a banquet, her face was really rotten.
Ying Er looked at her incomprehensibly: "Why is it better to do it earlier?" ”
"Because if it's a little later, she probably won't be able to do it." Jane blinked softly. Qin Yi was so anxious to set up a banquet, it was nothing more than to make all the families look down on her, and then naturally find a lowly family affair for her, and there was no need to be gossiped about, if she knew that her face was not ugly, how could she bother to do any more reception banquets?
Ying Er still didn't understand what she meant, and Jane whispered only a chuckle: "Today is a good day, accompany me out to buy some rouge gouache, and then buy some anti-rash medicine to come back." "She's been at home for almost two months, and it's time to go out and catch her breath."
As soon as Ying Er heard that she was going out, she didn't care to ask anything, so she quickly asked someone to prepare a carriage and accompanied her out. The master and servant first went to the rouge shop, bought a few simple things, then went to the medicine shop, and after buying the medicine, they rode together in a carriage and slowly wandered around the city.
Kyoto is no less populated than the desert north, and it is crowded everywhere, even the widest roads are full.
Ying Er lifted the curtain and looked out for a moment, and when she looked back, she saw that Jane Whisper was staring at a box of incense powder, and couldn't help but chuckle: "The smell of the big lady is the best, there is no need to use these vulgar things to add color." "What can I smell about?" Jane looked at her amusedly.
"It's not good to say, like a lotus, like a peony, and a little bit of medicinal smell, the most special." Ying Er has a good idea.
Jane whispered that when she was sleeping in the wilderness, the man took his disheveled self in his arms and whispered in her ear, "What kind of hooking thing is rubbed, how can it be so sweet?" ”
"Big Miss?" Ying Er saw that she was silent, and couldn't help but call out to her curiously.
Jane snapped back and coughed softly as she was about to cover up when she felt the carriage stop.
"What's wrong?" Ying Er asked in a loud voice.
The coachman lowered his voice and said nervously: "Big, big miss, the front Jinyi guard is doing things, you must stop and avoid." ”
Another Jinyi guard? Jane whispered her heart and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a sound of fists and feet to flesh in front of her, accompanied by a series of screams, which made people panic.
Ying Er looked at her palely, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, obviously frightened.
The screams first grew higher and higher, and then suddenly lowered, obviously not as poignant as before, but the people who listened became more and more stiff. Jane whispered and listened to her face for half a moment, and finally couldn't help but raise her hand to pull the curtain in front of her.
Ying Er quickly grabbed her hand and shook her head silently.
Jane smiled softly and soothingly, indicating that she just wanted to see when it would end, and Ying Er saw that she insisted, so she had to let go of her in fear.
Jane whispered again, and then gently lifted the corner of the curtain and looked in the direction where the sound was coming from. Because they were too far away, they could only faintly see the tall figures of the three people who were moving, all wearing clothes of the same color, and the embroidery on the top was not clear, but they were glowing with the color of cold iron, and around their waists, they all hung an official waist knife.
This is the Jinyi Guard?
Jane whispered to notice one of the silhouettes, vaguely feeling something familiar with how she felt... Is this person somewhat like Eleven?
Without waiting for her to look closer, the man who was still lying on the ground like a dead dog suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the side of the carriage. She was shocked, and instantly released the curtain, and before she could tell the driver to retreat, a bloodied hand grabbed the curtain, as if grasping the last straw.
However, the last straw could not save his life, and before he could board the carriage, he was wiped by the knife that appeared in the rear, and the blood that spewed out was three feet high, directly splashing a carriage, even the curtain was soaked, and some of the blood spilled into the carriage from the gap under the curtain, bright red, and permeated with heat.
"Big Miss..." Ying Er was so shaken that she could hardly speak, but she still strongly protected Jane whispered in front of her.
Jane watched softly as the hand grasping the curtain slowly loosened, leaving five fingerprints on the curtain.
thump.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the street full of people is silent.
"Oh, I spilled Lao Tzu's blood, and I have to wash my clothes again."
"You're just a piece of clothing, and the wagon is all dirty... Oh, Ningchang Hou's family, then it will be all right. As if remembering something funny, the two of them joked and joked.
"Okay, when the matter is done, hurry up and resume your life, the commander should be in a hurry." Another rather calm voice sounded. Jane whispered that she had only stared at the fingerprints, and did not laugh unexpectedly, but as soon as she heard the last sentence, her heart suddenly giggled.
This person's voice... How can it be like eleven like this? Jane swallowed softly, trying to see through the dark curtain, but although the curtain was light, she could only see a silhouette, and nothing else.
Just as the doubts in her heart were getting deeper and deeper, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and finally stopped in front of the carriage, and the two people who were still hanging Er Lang Dang immediately called out: "Commander." ”
Then there was a long silence, and even if you couldn't see the scene outside, you could feel the pressure of the other side, and Jane whispered and could even guess how the person on the high horse examined the corpse on the ground.
Cold, pointless, like looking at a broken bottle.
After a moment, the sound of the horse's hooves stepping broke the silence, and Jane whispered as she listened to the sound of the horses' hooves circling from the front of the carriage to the side, and then slowly stepping toward the back of the carriage, knowing that the man was leaving, so her tense body relaxed slightly.
However, without relaxing for long, a gust of wind suddenly blew through, blowing the curtain open a corner, gently brushing Jane's neck and blowing outside the carriage.
The sound of the horse's hooves came to a screeching halt.
"Commander?" Someone called out to him incomprehensibly.
The sound of the horse's hooves sounded again, but instead of following the original trajectory, it turned back to the carriage.
The long street is quiet, Jane whispers only feel that her heart is beating like a drum, and her ears are filled with thumping sounds. The curtains fluttered, but this time it wasn't because of the wind.
Jane whispered and tightened the veil in her hand, staring dead at the tip of the knife that picked up the curtain. She had just seen the same knife hanging from the men in those brocades.
The light curtain was slowly and steadily pulled away by the tip of the knife from left to right, and more and more wind blew into the carriage, and Jane whispered and stared at the tall figure reflected on the curtain, but did not perceive the coolness at all.
Just as her body was getting tighter and tighter, a sudden galloping sound came from the distance: "Commander! Holy Lord, please enter the palace! The tip of the knife suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, it was withdrawn, and the curtain resealed the carriage, and jane in the carriage suddenly relaxed, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her jaw.
Chapter 4 (One Hundred and Two Silver Bills...)
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves drifting away, the still long street began to flow, and the lively noise sounded in the ears again. Jane whispered a soft breath, threw the veil in her hand on the small table, and was about to ask the coachman to leave, when she suddenly noticed that Ying Er, who was standing in front of her, was motionless. "Ying Er?" She called out tentatively.
I saw the little girl in front of me tremble for a moment, and then she wanted to cry without tears: "... Big Miss, the slave maid seemed to be unable to move. Jane whispered, "..."
Ying Er was frightened and stiff, and Jane whispered that she had to help her to sit down on a low stool on the side, and after she was better, she couldn't help but laugh: "The courage is so small, why do you have to protect me?"
"You are the master, the slave maid naturally wants to protect you," Ying Er whispered, and a little admiration appeared under her eyes, "Big Miss, you are really powerful, the knife is about to poke in front of you, and I haven't seen you afraid, your courage is really too big." ”
The smile on Jane's face froze, and it was not so natural for an instant. In fact, she was also a little afraid.
Strange to say, she was usually quite bold, even when she was robbed by horse bandits, she didn't have much fear, and she had kung fu to think about how to protect herself, but today, somehow, looking at a small sheath of the knife, she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
Maybe she wasn't afraid of the knife, but the man with the knife. It was as if she had looked at the folded peony of the landing, twisting the flower branch as if breaking someone's neck, even if the corners of the lips were smiling, it made people feel afraid.
"Big Miss," Ying Er called out to her again, seeing her look at herself before saying, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Nothing, just a little tired." Jane whispered her spirits and said a self-deprecating laugh.
She had been really more and more frightened lately, not only because of the familiar voice that reminded her of Eleven, but also because of the sheath of the sword, she thought of Lu Peizhi... Just kidding, how could the jinyi guard command envoy and the dart board young lord, such a disparity in identity, be the same person.
The carriage sped away and returned to the Hou Mansion in the shortest possible time, Jian whispered no more thoughts, and after slowing down, he took Ying'er to the other courtyard, and before he could get closer, he saw the small house next to Ning Changhou standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Jian whispered and frowned and stopped where she was, and Xiao Wei saw her and hurriedly greeted her: "Hou Ye has been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, so let's go in quickly." ”
She had previously made excuses to go out because she didn't want to hear Ning Changhou talk about his relatives, but she didn't expect that he had been waiting in his own courtyard to see that he had to negotiate for himself, even if he avoided today, he couldn't avoid tomorrow.
Jian whispered for a moment, in the end he walked in, but he didn't expect that Qin Yi was also there.
"Father." She blessed herself.
"Come back, come quickly, my wife and I are discussing the matter of setting up a banquet, when the whole noble family of Kyoto City will come, you are the eldest daughter of the family, I will definitely find a good family for you." Ning Changhou greeted her with a smile.
Jian Whisper walked over with his eyes downcast, and before he could speak, Qin Yi beside him hurriedly said, "It is not necessary to find many noble people's homes, what is important is that people with good character and good intentions, after all, Whisper grew up in the north of the desert, and it is not better than the rules of the high-door households that are accustomed to slow voices, and if you find a portal that is too high, I am afraid that you will be uncomfortable." ”
Saying that she is good for her, in fact, I am afraid that she will marry better than Jane's slow voice, and will suppress Jane's slow voice in the future. Ning Changhou could not hear the meaning, but only felt that Qin Yi was particularly sensible today: "Madame is also reasonable, then she only looks at the character, not the portal, but if there is a good family and good character, it is better." ”
Qin Yiyan looked at Jane's whispered face with some rash marks, and the corners of his lips suddenly drew a contemptuous arc, thinking that the family had a good family and good character, and he was afraid that he would not be able to look at Jane whispering.
She thought so in her heart, but her face echoed: "Yes, yes, whispering and being well-behaved, I will definitely be able to find a good person." ”
The two of you talked for half a day before they realized that Jane whispered and did not speak, so the air suddenly fell silent for a moment. Ning Changhou coughed and slowed down his voice and asked, "What are the requirements for the future husband and wife of whispering?" ”
Jane's eyelids moved slightly, and after looking at the two of them, she lowered her eyes again, and half-shyly opened her mouth with a little pity: "Last night I dreamed of my mother again." ”
As soon as he heard her mention her mother, Ning Changhou thought that she was going to talk about the tomb again, and immediately sank his face: "I have asked the senior monk to do a ritual for your mother at the Fa'an Temple, and your mother Izumi should also be blinded, and there is no need to say anything about the tomb, I will not agree." ”
"Father don't get angry, I've thought about it for a long time, and I already understand your difficulties, so I don't want to force you to set up a grave for my mother." Jane smiled bitterly.
Ning Changhou's expression eased a little: "If you can think clearly, I believe your mother will also understand..."
"But I can't fulfill my mother's last wishes, and it is also my filial piety as a daughter, so I plan to shave my life as a nun and often accompany the green lantern to pray for my mother's blessing." Jane interrupted slowly. Ning Changhou narrowed his eyes, "What are you talking about?!!" ”
"She said she wanted to shave," Qin Yi replied busily, and wiped her eyes in a fake way, "Whispering is really filial piety, my sister will definitely be happy, and Jingbo Temple is also a good place to go..."
"My mother is dead, but my father is still there, so if I shave my head, the temple will not go," Jian whispered to Qin Yi, "Anyway, there are Buddhist halls at home, I can go there every day to chant the sutra, and I can also serve my father nearby." ”
Qin Yi's eyes widened suddenly, "You mean..."
"I don't marry anymore, I've been an old girl in the Hou Mansion all my life," Jane whispered, feeling that it wasn't quite right, and then corrected, "No, it's an old nun."
"Bullshit! You are only seventeen, how can you always accompany the green lantern from now on, if you go out to let others know, you will feel that I, the father, can't tolerate you as a daughter, and your mother will force you to leave the house as soon as she goes! Ning Changhou fiercely opposed.
Jane glanced at him softly: "Father, don't be afraid, you don't get involved in family affairs, even if someone gossips, they won't say that your half point is not." ”
If you don't talk about him, who do you say? Qin Yi looked at her with a ghostly look, and finally returned the taste, and quickly followed up with opposition: "No, no! Slow Voice and Zhen'er have not yet formed a family, if you are a sister, it will definitely affect their marriage, I do not agree! ”
The corners of Jane's eyes were red, and she looked at Qin Yi miserably: "Can't I fulfill my filial piety for the sake of my younger sister?" ”
"You... I..." Qin Yi, you and I for half a day, did not say a word, can only look at Ning Changhou for help.
Ning Changhou also felt that his head was big, and his heart could not stop being irritable, but every time he wanted to get angry, he would face her eyes that were very similar to his wife's, and suddenly he couldn't make any fire.
The atmosphere became more and more serious, and Jane whispered that she was sleepy in a silence, so she secretly glanced at Ying'er, who supported her quite politely, and said with a worried face: "Big Miss, what's wrong with you, but you are scared?" "What's going on?" Frightened to hear Ya Gui say That Jane whispered, Ning Changhou raised his head and asked.
"Hou Ye, when Fang Cai Slave went out with the big miss, she happened to bump into the Jinyi guard killing people, and the big miss was not lightly frightened, so we came back early." Ying Er said busily.
Ning Changhou frowned, "It's Jinyi Wei again... Rest first, and we'll talk about the matter tomorrow. "He had to ask the coachman what was going on.
"The daughter congratulates her father." Jane whispered and lowered her eyes.
Qin Yi glared at her fiercely and quickly followed Ning Changhou away, leaving only the master and servant in the courtyard in an instant.
Jane whispered a soft breath, looked up at Ying'er's worried eyes, and she snorted: "Rest assured, to scare them, I didn't want to go out of the house." ”
"That's good, big miss, you were really scared to death slave just now," Ying Er remembered her serious look, and couldn't help but admire it even more, "You are really powerful, even Hou Ye and Madame can be deceived." ”
What's that, she's also lied to the more troublesome guy. Jane snorted softly and walked into the house as she stretched out, "This is also my improvised idea, but look at their reaction... Even if it is crooked, Ying'er, you have nothing to do tomorrow to pull a few feet of plain cloth for me, cyan can be. ”
"What does big miss element cloth do?" Ying Er was puzzled.
Jane whispered a cunning light under her eyes: "Make a monk's robe." ”
Ying Er: "..."
After knowing what her lady was going to do, Ying Er could only cooperate with a sigh. The news of the Gaomen Marquis was not fast, and by the time Ning Changhou hurriedly arrived, Ying Er had already cut the monk's robe and was sitting on a low stool sewing.
When Ning Changhou saw the robe in her hand, he suddenly jumped like a thunderbolt: "What about the big miss?!" ”
"If you go back to Marquis, you're in the house." Ying Er hurriedly replied.
When Ning Changhou saw that the door was not closed, he rushed straight in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Jian Whisper holding a pair of scissors and drawing it into his hair, looking like he was going to shave himself. "Don't move!" He snapped to stop.
Jane paused and looked at him with scissors. She was about to cut a few knotted hairs, why did he kill her... Is it because you saw the monk's robe?
Ning Changhou had always felt that she was just talking about home, and when he saw her holding scissors and refusing to let go, his heart seemed to have suffered some impact, and it took half a day before he began to persuade.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, don't you just want me to set up a crown for your mother, I promised you to do it!" But until you have decided on a family affair, if you dare to cut your hair... I will never let her into the grave of her ancestors!" Ning Changhou looked at the scissors in her hand in horror. This shear went down, not only was her life ruined, but the entire Ningchang Marquis Mansion was afraid that she would not be able to go out to see people again.
Jane blinked softly, "What do you say?" ”
"As long as you obey, I will let your mother enter the ancestral grave!" Ning Changhou repeated it again.
Jane put down the scissors with a delicate expression, thought about it for a long time, and sighed lightly, looking like she couldn't do anything with him: "I was bent on the Buddha, but there are many bonds in the world." ”
"You are... Agreed? Ning Changhou didn't trust her very much, "Won't you take advantage of my lack of preparation and break your hair?" ”
"As long as Daddy counts, then I will obey." Jane whispered a serious look.
Ning Changhou was relieved: "Okay, then it is so fixed, tomorrow is the blind date banquet, you should prepare well." After saying that, thinking of Fang Cai's own panicked appearance, he suddenly felt faceless, and left in a hurry, and when he walked to the door, he did not forget to reprimand Ying Er and told her to throw away the monk's robe.
Jane whispered to the scissors, thinking that she knew it was so easy, and she still had some effort.
……
In the study with the doors and windows closed, the tall and handsome man, dressed in a dark red flying fish suit, sat quietly behind the long table, with one hand on the table, his slender fingers tapping on the table without a moment's hesitation, and a scar on the back of his hand that had been sewn crookedly and twisted was clearly visible.
His embroidered spring knife was placed on the table, and a silver ticket of one hundred and two was pressed to the bottom. A wisp of white smoke from the incense burner went straight around the beams of the room, and the smell of agarwood and pine wood spread through the house.
A moment later, the door suddenly opened widely, and the white smoke was blown apart into several sections, floating in the air and instantly dispersing.
The person who came came on one knee and half knelt down, holding a knife and saluting the people behind the long table: "Your Honor, I found out that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ningchang, Jian Whisper, was seventeen years old, grew up in Mobei, and her mother died of illness more than four months ago, so she returned to Kyoto from Mobei and just arrived at the Hou Mansion two months ago." The fingers knocking on the table stopped, and the silence in the study began to spread, and when a layer of cold sweat came out of the back of the person, the man slowly opened his mouth, and his voice was cold and dangerous: "Go down." ”
"Yes..." The person who came answered, turned around and went outside, but when he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly thought of something, suddenly stopped his steps, and turned back again and again, "By the way, your lord, the Marquis of Ningchang will set up a banquet tomorrow, as if to whisper for Jane... Look at the husband's family. I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he finished the last four words, he suddenly felt a chill all around him.
The man was silent for a long time this time, and when the man thought he might die, he said three words lightly: "I know." Relieved, the visitor performed a ritual and left in a hurry.
A gust of wind blew, and the corner of the silver ticket pressed by the embroidered spring knife on the table trembled twice, as if some woman had once trembled in his hand.
