Zhoulai is built on a mountain, surrounded by rolling hills. After Yin Huai'an took over, he reclaimed a lot of forest and fields along the mountains, and opened a few paddy fields in low-lying areas. A good businessman family became more like a farmer. Yin Huaian Because her family has followed the Shen family since her ancestors, Yin Huai'an often joked that she was a slave of the Shen Yuan family, and she always choked her back - "Mr. Yin, don't speak without conscience. My brother treats you more affectionately than me. Who thinks you are a slave?"
Shen Yuan's words are a bit exaggerated. Shen Han has a close relationship with Yin Huai'an, but the benefits fall on her. Even the half-immortal doctor Gu Jinchuan only agreed to treat her because of the friendship between Zhou Lai and the Villa. Many things happened later. But naturally, the matter was serious and Shen Yuan's life experience was a secret. Master Yin only said that she was a rare and wonderful person, but did not tell Gu Banxian that she was a girl from the Shen family in the northwest.
A large cellar was dug under the villa. It was originally just for storing tea, wine, food, furs and miscellaneous items. There was also a tunnel leading to the bottom of the mountain. But now it is very different. Yin Huai'an was mysterious and sent his servants away. He only led Shen Yuan in. When they got underground, bypassing the ordinary storage items, the real key came into view. Shen Yuan understood his intention and was shocked.
"This is right under my yard. In addition to this, there is also an exit in your yard. You can directly enter the tunnel. I will show it to you later."
Yin Huaian put his hands behind his back and faced a rack of dazzling swords, bows and crossbows, with a strategizing momentum. This incident really caught Shen Yuan off guard, and he was speechless when he looked at him, with only surprise and shock on his face. She He walked forward quickly and took out a waist knife. He pulled out the scabbard and saw that the blade was sharp and shining coldly. It was a real thing that could hurt people.
She forced herself to calm down and put it back on the shelf. She turned around and stared at the owner of the village who had secretly arranged all this and was still looking at her with a smile. She didn't understand his intention at all.
"Okay, don't look at me like that, because it embarrasses your brother." Yin Huaian walked up to her and patted her shoulder as if teasing a child - in fact, he was only two years older than Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan didn't speak. The eyes looking at him seemed to be dull. Seeing this, Yin Huai'an thought that his joke had gone too far and really scared people. He shook his head helplessly, sighed with a smile, stretched out his arms and took her into his arms.
"Huai'an..."
As soon as Shen Yuan opened his mouth, he was immediately blocked by Yin Huaian: "It's okay, don't be afraid." He stopped joking, lowered his tone, and spoke to her seriously: "I've wanted to do this since I took over the state. It’s getting more and more uneasy, and I feel more at ease only if I have precautions on my hands. It was just completed last month, and you said you wanted to come over, so I’ll let you take a look.”
Shen Yuan was not afraid, but was too shocked to understand. Zhoulai Villa was not a Jianghu gang, and it was really not possible to be so vigilant. She knew that everyone had to protect themselves, and this was not the best world, but it was really bad. Is it like this?
Yin Huaian took her wrist and led her out again. The sky outside was still blue, as if nothing had happened. The young owner of the village returned to his cheerful appearance and took her back to the yard where the kites were placed. . Servants were coming in and out of the hall on the lake. Food and wine had already been arranged, and bright red dogwood trees were placed in the corners. Yin Huaian sat Shen Yuan down and poured the wine himself with a smile.
"Build evil dogwood sacs, and make chrysanthemum wine. It will be cold tomorrow, and the snowflake wine is too cold, so we should wait until next summer to open it again." The clear and translucent chrysanthemum wine is fragrant, and the voice of the owner Zhou Lai is also clean and transparent. , "Ophiopogon japonicus is added to the wine this year, please try it."
The people waiting at the side were all close friends, and Shen Yuan did not shy away from drinking. He said, "If you drink well, you won't be afraid of being late. You'd better tell me first, what happened, and why is it becoming more and more uneasy?"
Yin Huai'an's diligence was in vain, and the smile on his face had not had time to stop. But fortunately, his reaction was not slow. He pursed his lips and coughed twice, shrugged and easily got rid of the embarrassment: "Look at you, don't be nervous. "It was originally here to relax, but it has become my fault." Zhuangzhu Yin took it calmly. He raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. Instead of filling it up, he put the empty wine cup back with a soft "du" sound. On the table, he waved his hand to the servant on the side.
One or two servants left, not knowing what to do. Shen Yuan felt uneasy. Seeing that the other party did not answer for a long time, he couldn't help but want to ask again. "Hey, don't panic, I will tell you slowly." Yin Huai'an gestured with his fingers. Don't worry, she picked up the chrysanthemum leaves, washed her hands with water, and took out a plump single-cage steamed crab.
Shen Yuan had no choice but to follow his temper and patiently watched him deal with the major task of removing the crabs, and finally talked about the causes and consequences. "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that there were a few murder cases, and the wind came to me. "Yin Huai'an is obviously an expert at tearing open crabs. He was talking to her opposite, occasionally glancing at the work in his hands, snapping a few times, folding the crab claws and legs and putting them aside, and then broke off the navel. Use a small skewer to pick out the crab roe.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan didn't know whether he should be angry or funny, or whether he should admire the other party's calmness. "If you want to say it, say it well, and prick your hand carefully." She said angrily, took the wine cup, and He imitated the other person's example and drank it all in one gulp, filling it up for both of them.
"You must be looking down on me." Yin Huaian changed his crab shovel, opened the crab bucket completely, lost the crab stomach, and dug into the crab roe slowly, his tone was still humorous and relaxed, "No It’s just in the city, not just these few days. I didn’t pay much attention at first, but gradually I felt something was wrong.”
"Something's wrong? What should I say?" Shen Yuan heard the meaning and asked curiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant who had just retreated came back. Yin Huaianqi raised his hand, tapped his chin, and signaled her to calm down: "It's something that's happening right now, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly later, take a look first." look at this."
She looked over and saw a servant carrying in a santur harp from the Western Regions, followed by two blond-haired and blue-eyed Hu Ji musicians. One was holding a bamboo string instrument, and the other was holding a string instrument. Hu Ji had a tall nose and deep eyes, a graceful figure, and was from a foreign land. Dressed in a colorful embroidered veil, small silver bells were tied around her waist, wrists, and ankles. The servants returned to the master's house, and two musicians put down their instruments and came forward, lowering their eyebrows and nodding, slowly kneeling down. Down.
"Master, what are you listening to?" What Hu Ji said was actually in Chinese, and she spoke it in a precise manner, but there were traces of deliberate practice, so it was inevitably funny. Shen Yuan saw it interestingly, and temporarily forgot what was "wrong" about it.
She didn't even know when Zhoulai Villa had raised Le Ling, a fine Hu woman. The bamboo basket was probably made of ox horn. It had been used for a long time and had been rubbed until it was dark and shiny. It can be seen that Hu Nu trains hard day and night, just for the sake of food.
