"Bing the gong as a reminder, close the doors and windows, and be careful of candles!"
At the third watch, the sound of the watchman came from afar.
In Yong'anfang, Luojing City, the capital of the Wei Dynasty, a rather grand courtyard is located here. On the five steps, the door of the mansion is tightly closed, and a horizontal plaque is hung on the door. Through the lantern hanging on the door, it is faintly visible.
You can clearly see the four large gilded characters - Jibei Houfu.
There is a wooden two-story building in the backyard of the Marquis Mansion in Northern Hebei. The candlelight in a room on the second floor gradually lit up, and the slim figure of a woman appeared on the window paper.
After a rustling sound, the woman arranged her clothes and trousers, grabbed a white tunic and put it on her body and walked to the outhouse.
The outhouse is transparent from north to south, and the simple layout makes the room very spacious. There is a carpet on the floor in the middle of the room. There is a round table on the carpet, and four stools are placed around the table. There is a bookcase placed by the south window.
, there is a bookshelf next to the book desk, with some bamboo slips and scrolls placed on it.
The decoration in the room is not like that of other women who play chess and harp, and the paintings and calligraphy are hung to make it appear gentle and delicate. On the contrary, there are bows and swords hanging, which is filled with a chilling atmosphere.
The woman walked to the desk and opened the window. Although it was already the beginning of autumn, the weather in Luoyang was still very hot. However, there was a cool breeze blowing by at this moment. She squinted her eyes comfortably and stretched, showing off her graceful figure.
.
After standing in front of the window for a while, the woman carefully flipped through the book. She pulled out a volume of books, turned around and returned to the bedroom, lying on her back on the couch and reading slowly by the light.
After a moment, the door of the room was pushed open with a creak. A maid with a pretty face and wearing an emerald green skirt came forward with a tray. She glanced at her lady and curled her lips in disgust.
The woman's posture is indeed inelegant. She is lying on her back on the couch with a book. Although she is wearing a middle coat, her collarbone, shoulders and neck are exposed outside the outer garment and are not covered up. She has her legs crossed and one embroidered shoe hanging on her back.
On the toes of the crossed leg, the white and tender feet kept dangling.
The maid brought a small coffee table and carefully placed the pot, cups, and saucers on the tray on the coffee table. She bowed slightly and was about to leave.
The woman's voice sounded like an oriole's cry: "Go and borrow the map from the Marquis's study. I want to see it tomorrow night."
"yes."
The maid agreed, turned around with the tray, and prepared to go down.
"Wait a minute."
The woman put down the book and raised her head to look at the maid.
Following the woman's movements, a delicate oval face appeared in front of the maid's eyes. The woman was young, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her face had some light wheat-colored skin, which was slightly rough, contrasting with the fair skin under her neck. Two thin lines
The sword-shaped eyebrows on the temples, coupled with the red and phoenix eyes, look full of heroism. There is a maturity in the eyes that does not match his age. Under the straight Qiong nose, the peach-like red lips are lightly pursed, and the jet-black hair is casually
It is draped behind her. The woman's appearance is already outstanding, and when viewed under the lamp, it becomes even more beautiful.
The woman raised her hand and picked up a piece of snack and put it to her mouth. Maybe the snack was a little small, so she swallowed it in one bite. After chewing only a few mouthfuls, she spoke in a muffled voice, and a lot of snack residue splattered out.
"Yunxiang, have you learned the things I taught you a few days ago?"
Yunxiang gave the woman a somewhat depressed look.
"Zi Ling and I have both learned it. We can also do the questions asked."
After a pause, Yunxiang said again: "Can you care about the identity of our young lady?"
"Oh, oh! I'm sorry, sorry, sorry." The woman laughed sheepishly, put on her middle coat and put it away. She coughed lightly, and then said: "I'll teach you those things, and you must do it well."
Learn well. If you don’t understand anything, come and ask me at night. These will be useful in the future.”
"Yes. We will study hard."
"By the way, your lady should be working the day shift tomorrow, right?"
Hearing this, Yunxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"She is on duty at the palace. From tomorrow on, our lady will be on duty at the palace during the day."
"Okay, you go down and rest."
The maid is blessed.
"You should also go to bed early."
Then he turned around and exited the room.
The woman picked up another piece of snack and put it into her mouth. She raised her hand to pick up the pot and poured it into the cup. The woman's fingers were long and slender, looking like green onions from the back of her hand. But if she turned her hand over occasionally, there was a layer of calluses at the base of her fingers.
An amber liquid poured out, and the pot was not filled with water, but slightly alcoholic wine.
The woman picked up the wine glass, gently sipped the wine in the glass, and picked up the book to read slowly. Except for the occasional sound of candles exploding, the room was quiet.
More than an hour later, the woman put down the book in her hand, raised her hand and patted her slightly tipsy face, and smiled helplessly.
Then I listened to the faint sound of the clock in the distance. I stood up, pulled on my embroidered shoes, and stretched slightly. I walked back to the desk, put the books back to their original places, and sorted out the desk again.
I looked at the lamps and candles on the case, and I was lost in thought.
She, or rather "he", was not from this world. An accident brought an almost immortal soul into this world and possessed it in the body of a little girl.
Different from the thousands of time-traveling troops, he is not only possessed by the opposite sex, but the owner of this body is not sick and out of trouble. His consciousness failed to fight against the little girl's consciousness, but instead caused his own vitality to be seriously injured. Both of them were injured.
The two consciousnesses are not merged together, but remain two independent individuals. His consciousness is still at a disadvantage, forming a kind of existence similar to a second personality. In order to ensure the safety of the little girl, or himself, he can only
When the body is unconscious, such as when sleeping, sneak out to experience and understand the world.
After being dazed for a while, he sighed softly, returned to the back room, poured out the last bit of wine from the pot, shook his head and drank it all.
There was nothing he could do about drinking at night. When he first came to this world, he vomited out the tea he drank for the first time. Although he had learned about tea before the advent of fried tea through the Internet and books in his previous life, it did not mean he could accept it.
.
In addition, it was often midnight when he appeared, and the stove had already been turned off. In this era without thermos bottles, if you didn't want to drink cold water, you would have to drink this slightly alcoholic wine.
He blew out the candles and lay down on the bed again. With the strength of the wine, after a while, he could only hear the sound of gentle breathing, and he had obviously fallen asleep.
As soon as the sky got bright, the woman got up and put on a dark red cloud-patterned warrior uniform. Her delicate face had a cold expression, lacking the liveliness and cheerfulness that an ordinary girl should have.
The maids Yunxiang and Ziling dressed up a little and came to the martial arts hall in the backyard.
The martial arts performance hall in the backyard was only used by the girl herself. There were no stone locks and other strength-building tools like ordinary martial arts performance halls. There were also no wide variety of weapons. She picked up a 18-foot-long pole from the weapons rack.
The white wax pole, the yin and yang handles are closed together, slowly pulling up the gun flowers. The blossoming gun flowers make it difficult to tell where the real gun head is.
A quarter of an hour later, the woman put on the spear she was familiar with and started practicing again. The woman's basic skills were extremely solid. Blocking, holding, pointing, stabbing, sweeping, stabbing, entangling, breaking, all kinds of marksmanship skills were at her fingertips. Slowly, the woman's body
The movements were getting faster and faster. In the end, only a red shadow was left in the martial arts hall flying up and down.
After another two quarters of an hour, the woman finally stopped holding the spear in her hand and calmed down her somewhat rapid breathing. She returned to the courtyard, washed herself carefully, and changed into black men's clothes. The woman already had red lips and white teeth.
Although her skin is not fair and delicate, her eyebrows and eyes are full of heroic spirit, and when paired with men's clothing, she looks even more heroic.
But his cold face was a bit off-putting, and as his lips and teeth opened and closed, a clear voice commanded: "I will go to the palace to be on duty in a while, and I will order the horses to be prepared."
After breakfast, the woman, accompanied by Yunxiang, Ziling and two other female guards, left the Jibei Hou Mansion through the side door. A rather handsome red horse stood in front of the house. The woman stepped forward and stroked it gently.
He stroked the horse's mane and his cold expression softened slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the woman quickly got on her horse. She turned her head and looked at Yunxiang, nodded and left the Jibei Marquis Mansion. The two female guards followed closely behind and left on horseback.
Seeing their young ladies leaving, Yunxiang and Ziling let out a sigh of relief. Ziling, who was slightly younger, stuck out her tongue.
"Sister Yunxiang, my cold face is a bit scary. I don't dare to breathe in front of her."
"It's not my fault, Miss, she's carrying too many things."
Zi Ling lowered her head and silently pitied her young lady, then raised her head again, her big eyes flickering, appearing lively and lively. She looked at Yunxiang and said, "Sister Yunxiang, why is the young lady as cold as frost during the day and so approachable at night?"
"Shh..."
Yunxiang put her fingers to her lips nervously, made a gesture of silence, looked around again, and then whispered: "You can't talk about this matter with anyone! You haven't been clear about it for a short time since you came here.
Yunxiu, who was the best with the lady before, was driven away because she was discussing this matter in private, and the lady happened to overhear it. The lady has told me not to talk nonsense about this matter. If anyone else knows about it, we will be punished.
Drive them both away."
Zi Ling quickly covered her mouth with her hands and looked around with her big eyes. When she found that there was no one else around, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "Is this always the case, Miss?"
"No. The young lady and I grew up together. Although the young lady has been lonely since she was a child and has developed an indifferent temperament, the difference between day and night is so big only after the young lady grew up, and it has been almost two years now.
"
"That……"
The little girl Zi Ling was about to ask again when she was interrupted by Yun Xiang.
"Okay, don't ask. You can go back first. I have to go to the Marquis's study." After that, Yunxiang turned around and returned to the house.
"oh."
Zi Ling pursed her lips and followed her into the Hou Mansion.
It was still dark at this time, so the woman left Yong'anfang with two guards and walked north along the street.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street except for some people who had been busy doing business early in the morning. Horse hooves stepped on the bluestone road, making a clicking sound.
Not long after, they arrived at the square in front of the Imperial City. The woman gently took the horse and turned to look at the officials gathered in front of the Imperial City, waiting to go on duty.
It was easy to find her grandfather, Shen Ao, Marquis of Jibei in the crowd. Shen Ao happened to turn his head as well. The grandfather and grandson nodded to each other, and the girl looked away and continued walking along the west wall of the imperial city.
Arrive at the gate on the west side of the Imperial City, take out your waist tag and let the guards at the door check it before entering the Imperial City.
The black waistband is only engraved with simple lines to form a phoenix that is about to fly, and there are three lines of words engraved on the front, "Tianfeng Military Colonel Shen Xiyao".
