Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh, help me recognize a person
Zhao An felt that going to Beijing might not be a good thing. He had to think carefully and accept the banknote first. As for whether to go, he still thought about it.
Seeing that he had not left for a long time, the people in the capital must have become anxious. Suddenly, a second letter came. The letter listed the number of banknotes that Zhao An had received, and warned Zhao An that if he did not enter again,
Jing, don't blame her for being rude, take this matter to the government immediately and accuse him of defrauding Mrs. Xuanpinghou.
Then the local government sent a clerk to the door to urge him to get up.
This is no longer Mrs. Xuanpinghou who is invisible to the capital. Some local manpower must have been used. Zhao An really felt that Mrs. Xuanpinghou was annoyed.
When the officials came to the door, Zhao An did not dare to delay any longer, so he could only pack up and salute, take the documents given by the officials, and lead the way out.
Walking on the road, he looked at the official road to Beijing, and then looked at the direction of his hometown. Zhao An gritted his teeth. Now that he was out, he would go to Beijing to see if it would be a blessing or a curse. He just had to deal with it carefully.
When he entered the capital in a hurry, he was stopped at the gate of the city. Then he was told some words and told him where to go next time to meet the steward, and then he followed the man to Xuanyuan.
The backyard door of Pinghou Mansion...
"Mr. Zhao, these are snacks sent from the kitchen. I don't know if you like sweet or salty, so I brought some for you." A maid smiled and brought a food basket over and took it out from the food basket.
Four plates of exquisite pastries, the aroma is overwhelming as soon as you take them out.
It has a slight heat, and you can tell it has just been steamed.
He looked at the pretty maid with a face mask, and saw that even the maid was better than the rich girl he chose at that time. The maid in front of him had a beautiful face, a decent manner, looked at him with a smile, and spoke softly,
My heart couldn't help but sway.
"Thank you, girl." Zhao An looked polite.
"Mr. Zhao, you are so polite. You are Mrs. Zhou's cousin. I am just a servant. How can I be called a girl by Mr. Zhao?" The maid bowed politely and stepped aside.
Zhao An saw that her dress was a little different from the maid who had just cleaned her. Although the clothes looked similar in color, the materials were actually different.
"You're welcome, girl. I'm just a passerby. How can I talk about my cousin?" Zhao An said with a gentle expression. He looks pretty good and looks like a scholar. At first glance, he is quite impressive.
Feeling good, "I wonder how my cousin is doing in the Hou Mansion?"
After speaking, he sighed heavily: "My family is far away. When something happened to my cousin and uncle, I didn't know about it. Now that I see my cousin again, it feels like I've been apart from another world."
Seeing him like this, the maid hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhou is very good in the house now, and she is also the wife in charge of affairs. The Marquis also thinks highly of Mrs. Zhou."
"It's great now, but what about before?" Zhao An keenly sensed the word "now".
"I don't know what happened in the past... I don't know about the past." The maid rolled her eyes, and she knew at a glance that she was a smart person who would not talk about things casually.
Zhao An was not in a hurry to ask about Mrs. Zhou, and when she didn't tell her anything, he didn't press her.
As a first-time guest in the Hou Mansion, Zhao An acted very cautiously and measuredly, which made people very fond of him.
In the evening, a steward from the Hou Mansion came over, greeted Zhao An on behalf of Marquis Xuanping, and asked Zhao An to stay for a few more days. Zhao An expressed his gratitude and only said that he would stay here for a while to see his cousin.
How is your life going? I will choose another place to stay in the future so that I won't disturb the Marquis' mansion.
The manager was very affectionate towards Zhao An, and repeatedly expressed the intention of the Marquis. His relatives were nothing, and it was rare for him to go to Beijing. How could he leave the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and live elsewhere?
If you don't care, say this is what the Marquis meant, don't take it to heart.
Let’s stay in the Hou Mansion first, and we’ll talk about anything later.
Zhao An thanked him repeatedly and agreed to live in the Hou Mansion...
At nightfall, Yu Xijiao was leaning in front of the bed, not asleep. Her dark hair fell down her back, and her long eyelashes were slightly closed thoughtfully, as if she was sleeping but not asleep.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and looked at the window in shock. There was another slight sound from the window, which seemed to be knocking on the window.
He placed his hand on a dagger beside his pillow, looked at the window warily, and shrank slightly.
The window suddenly opened with a click, and the moonlight shone in like water. A figure in mysterious clothes appeared in front of the window. Reflecting the light in the room, he could clearly see his handsome features. He could clearly see that it was Feng Yu and Yu Xijiao.
He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly took his hand out from under the pillow.
Feng Yu stretched out his hand and pressed the window. He landed lightly into the house and closed the window.
"Afraid?" He walked over and picked up the small scissors on the table, cut the lantern flowers, lifted up the sleeves of his robe, and sat down on the chair opposite Yu Xijiao.
"Your Majesty, is something wrong?" Yu Xijiao asked helplessly.
Now this prince doesn't live next door, so why would he come here?
"Can't you come here if you have nothing to do?" Feng Yu said lazily. Under the light, the handsome man looked like jade. He was dressed in black clothes, which made his handsome face look more solemn than before. When he raised his eyes, he looked elegant and sharp.
, just like an unsheathed sword, missing the gentleness and peace of the smile in the past.
However, wearing such clothes and going out in the middle of the night will make people think of committing adultery.
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, just go back. If others see your Majesty here in the middle of the night, it might not be a good thing." Yu Xijiao advised calmly.
"Don't worry, this prince will be responsible." Feng Yu smiled, glanced sideways at Yu Xijiao, picked up the beaded flowers that Yu Xijiao put aside, and felt disgusted, "What is this...it looks so rough,
Could it be that a dignified girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion cannot afford exquisite jewelry, so she can only use a beaded flower like this!"
"It's not mine." Yu Xijiao said helplessly.
"If it's not yours, why is it in your place? Could it be that it was given by someone else?" Feng Yu raised his eyebrows and immediately dropped the silver pearl flower.
"Your Majesty, you said that a man traveled thousands of miles to find his ex-fiancée to marry him, saying that he could never forget the friendship between cousins. Why exactly?" Yu Xijiao asked suddenly, her head tilted, and her hair like a waterfall also tilted.
, revealing a confused little face, the complexion is delicate and difficult to describe under the light.
Feng Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Yu Xijiao's hair: "Little girl, why do you care about other people's cousins? Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Yu Xijiao casually patted Feng Yu's rebellious hand and did not hide it: "It's related. Mrs. Zhou's cousin came all the way here. Isn't he afraid that if his father knew something about this, he would be doomed?
?”
This kind of thing is something that even a man cannot tolerate.
I tried to persuade Mrs. Zhou, but Mrs. Zhou also listened. She originally kept the person for a day or two and then left. Unexpectedly, her father actually stayed as a guest. I don’t know what Mrs. Zhou told her father. Now it seems that she should
Mrs. Zhou didn't tell the whole story, at most she just talked about the relationship between cousins.
As for the fact that the two people were engaged, they didn't mention it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for this person to stay well in the mansion. His father actually sent a steward to keep him. All this was for the sake of Mrs. Zhou.
Now she only has suspicions, but no proof.
"There must be something to rely on." Feng Yu said with a smile, and continued to stretch out his hand to mess with Yu Xijiao's hair, as if he found it interesting.
Yu Xijiao reluctantly opened his hand again.
Feng Yu lowered his head and looked at the back of his hand which was red from being slapped. He raised his hand and stretched it in front of Yu Xijiao to let her see: "It's red."
Seeing the red color on Ruyu's skin, Yu Xijiao felt inexplicably guilty and muttered, "Your Majesty, please don't reach out your hand and you won't get beaten."
"You want to compensate me." Feng Yu raised his handsome eyes and said with a serious face.
"I can't afford to pay." Yu Xijiao blinked her big eyes, looking extremely innocent.
Feng Yu suddenly burst into laughter, stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Xijiao up from the bed, "Come on, come with me for a walk outside."
"Your Majesty, where are you going now?" Yu Xijiao was pulled up from the bed and grabbed Feng Yu's sleeve with her backhand.
"Let's go to a good place." Feng Yu stretched out his hand, took her cloak from the screen, covered her up without thinking, then picked her up and jumped out of the window. Yu Xijiao's whole body stiffened, subconsciously
I wanted to kick him, but I heard Feng Yu's soft voice in my ears.
"Help me identify someone."
Yu Xijiao was startled for a moment, and after breathing rapidly for a few times, she simply let go. She wanted Feng Yu to appear at her window in the middle of the night. The person she wanted to recognize must be an important person, but she didn't know who he was taking her to recognize.
who.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the people on the street were so lively. They were wearing large cloaks, and the brim of the cloak fell down. Yu Xijiao was wrapped tightly. Not only was the cloak completely invisible, but there was also a veil on her face.
, even a pair of eyes are hidden behind the veil.
This is the east-facing street of the main street. Yu Xijiao had come here before during the daytime. She dressed up as a young master and sneaked out of the house secretly. At that time, her father was still alive. Even if Mrs. Yu wanted to suppress her mother, she would have to do it.
For the sake of my father and grandfather, I dare not go too far.
As for her, a small county magistrate, she has relatively free access.
Although you can't go out openly, you can still sneak out of the house secretly by dressing up like a young master.
The painted boat passed by under the bridge, with faint sounds of music, laughter, and dim lights, causing passers-by to turn around from time to time, wondering which noble son of a family was inside.
The painting boat stopped beside the sedan. Someone set up a board and greeted Feng Yu and Yu Xijiao on the shore: "Is this Mr. Han? Have you been waiting for a long time? Please come quickly, please come quickly."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Feng Yu with a smile on his face.
Feng Yu snorted coldly and put his arms around Yu Xijiao's shoulders. Similar to Yu Xijiao, Feng Yu wore a black cloak and the wide brim of the hat fell down, blocking everyone's sight. Unlike Yu Xijiao, Feng Yu
What's interesting is that the thin corners of his lips were exposed.
Two people entered with two guards.
As soon as I entered the house, I found that the lights in the house were different from what I expected, much darker...
