The sun has set in the west, and twilight is coming from below the horizon, covering the sky and soon dominating the world.
Crunch.....
With a harsh sound of metal friction, the door of Fusi Prison in Beizhen opened, and a young man with stubble and shabby clothes walked out. It was Zhu Ping'an who had received the imperial edict of amnesty and was demoted to Jingnan County Magistrate.
.
The reason why he was wearing shabby clothes was not because Zhu Pingan kept a low profile, but because the clothes Zhu Pingan wore when he entered the imperial prison were no longer found. It was probably sold by the prison guards to generate income.
The prison officials never expected that Zhu Pingan could get out of the prison, let alone that he could get out of the prison so quickly. After leaving prison, he couldn't wear prison clothes, otherwise it would be any different from escaping, so the jailer rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and he didn't know which corner to get out of.
I dug out this worn-out clothes.
"The free air outside is so comfortable to breathe."
Zhu Pingan walked out of the prison gate, stretched his waist, shook his neck, and took a breath of air intoxicatedly.
Sister Li and the others have to worry about something bad these days. It is better to return home quickly to save them from worrying about me.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an ignored the feeling of the free air, determined the direction, and walked quickly towards Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
By the time Zhu Ping'an jogged all the way back to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, night had fallen and the curfew was about to begin.
"Where did the beggar come from?! This is the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, leave quickly."
Because of the dark night, Zhu Pingan was stubbled, his body was much thinner, and his clothes were shabby. The concierge Zhang did not recognize Zhu Pingan for a while, and thought that Zhu Pingan was a beggar who broke into the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
.
"Ahem, Lao Zhang, it's me."
Zhu Ping'an coughed, looked up at the concierge Lao Zhang, and showed his iconic honest smile.
"The voice is a bit familiar...you are...my uncle, you are the fifth uncle...the fifth uncle is back."
When the concierge Lao Zhang heard Zhu Pingan's voice, he couldn't help but froze for a moment. He felt that the voice was a bit familiar. Seeing the honest smile on Zhu Pingan's face, he suddenly felt that this person was very familiar. He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again, and finally recognized Zhu Pingan.
It was safe, and my voice was trembling with excitement. I didn't expect that the uncle who was taken away to prison by the Jin Yiwei would come out so quickly, and he couldn't help shouting out happily.
The prison was a place like hell. After being arrested, I heard that no one could come out alive.
Unexpectedly, my uncle came out. He is really powerful, even more powerful than the Monkey King who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
The concierge Lao Zhang excitedly opened the door to Zhu Pingan and invited Zhu Pingan into the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
Zhu Pingan entered the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, said a few words of excited greeting to the concierge, and then walked to the backyard without stopping.
It was already getting late, and red lanterns were hung at the entrances of all the courtyards of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. The lights were brightly lit everywhere. From time to time, the aroma of fine wine and delicacies, as well as laughter and laughter could be heard from inside, showing the spirit of a noble family.
Compared with the lively courtyards, the Jingxiang Garden is much deserted, and not a single sound of laughter can be heard.
Compared to the aroma of fine wine and food from other courtyards, what comes out of the Jingxiang Garden is the smell of soups and medicines.
The sixth lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion had dinner at the old lady's house, passed by the Jingxiang Garden, and returned to the garden where she lived. The girl Jinque and Yinge held two lanterns, and they immediately smelled the rich aroma of the Jingxiang Garden.
The soup tastes medicinal.
"It's hard for people in Jingxiang Garden to bear the strong smell of soup..." Jinque said in a low voice.
"It's so deserted, as if no one lives there. Usually their courtyard is the busiest." Yin Ge added.
"Giggle~~ Let her rise again. She is as arrogant as a peacock. She is obviously a country girl, but she lives a nobler life than the princess in the palace. Now she is fine. Lang Jun is in prison, and he has become a
A sick chicken, she was suddenly beaten back to her original shape... Humph, look how she still puts on such a stinky air in front of me."
The sixth lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion took out her embroidered handkerchief and covered her nose and mouth. She glanced at the Jingxiang Garden and thought of the days when she was suppressed by Li Shu. She couldn't help but giggle, full of gloating.
"She said she is a young lady, but she is just a country girl. How can she be compared to a young lady? The old lady likes the young lady the most. The old lady knows that the young lady likes pink and jade cloud satin. When we divided the satin, the old lady specially kept all the satin.
It was given to the young lady. The young lady’s fiancée, Mr. Xu, has been transferred to the household department. With Mr. Zhang, an old friend of Wei Guogong, to take care of him, Mr. Xu’s future is limitless. He can be promoted if he wants to be promoted. But that man has been imprisoned.
Well, what kind of prison is this? It eats people without spitting out their bones. How can you come out alive after being imprisoned there? What's the use of him getting the top prize?
Can compare with Mr. Xu."
Yin Ge is a thoughtful girl. She knows what her young lady likes to hear, so she deliberately belittles Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an to cater to the preferences of the fifth lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
"Hun said, what kind of fiancé is this? I'm so embarrassed."
The sixth lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion spat lightly and cursed, but her face felt as if she had eaten honey. It sounded more like praise and encouragement than scolding. It was a typical inconsistency between what she meant and what she said. I wish the girl
Let’s go on.
"My slave, you are not telling me nonsense. The Duke of Wei came to pick up the Geng stickers last time, and the birth date has been matched." Yin Ge did not disappoint Miss Sixth's expectations, and continued to talk about this topic.
"Young lady is the truly blessed person..." Jinque also agreed.
Jinque and Yinge boasted for a while, saying that the sixth lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion was so elated and happy that her pretty face was as rosy as a ripe peach.
The three of them were talking when they suddenly saw a person walking across from them. He quickly walked into the light range of the lantern and appeared in their sight - a young man with stubble and shabby clothes.
man?!
Why did a man come into the backyard?! His clothes are shabby?! Could it be that he broke in secretly with evil intentions?!
"ah......"
The sixth lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream.
The two girls Jinque and Yinge also screamed closely, the lanterns in their hands shaking like chaff in a sieve.
"I go!"
Zhu Pingan, who was on the opposite side, was startled by their screams.
"Huh?"
When the screaming Sixth Miss heard Zhu Pingan's voice, she felt it was a bit familiar, and the scream in her little mouth couldn't help but stop for a moment.
Looking along the flickering lantern light, I saw Zhu Pingan's face clearly. Although he had a stubble and a sigh, he recognized it.
No way?!
Miss Six rubbed her eyes and took another closer look to make sure she saw it right. It was really Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an came out of prison!
Miss Six was stunned. She couldn't believe her eyes. She felt as if cold water had been poured on her whole body. Her joyful and elated mood just now suddenly became terrible. The sense of superiority she had just found suddenly disappeared.
There was nothing left, and I thought about the days when I was suppressed by Li Shu.
