Ye An was silent for a moment, which was tantamount to physical and mental torture for a woman who rejects men to the point of morbidity, but then he frowned and said: "I see Ying Niang treats you well, please ask her to let you leave with a piece of paper.
"
"She refused. She... said she was used to me serving around her, and she wouldn't be able to take care of me if I changed her mind..."
Ye An was completely silent now, and at the same time he had a new understanding of people's hearts in this era. Yingniang, this woman who saw herself struggling in suffering, a lady of the family, actually refused to let an equally pitiful woman get the chance because she was used to it.
Free body.
Ye An could only lament Yingniang's ill-fated fate. She met one cruel person after another. Of course, except for her uncle and parents, almost all of them were seriously hurt.
Mrs. Ya's tongue was cut out and her hands chopped off. She made the daughter of the Wang family become the bane of the husband. Those unlucky ones who wanted to marry Ying Niang were going to die in the underworld along with the man who took possession of her body. They died in unknown ways. Ye An
It is believed that cyanide poisoning would have caused them a very painful death.
"You want to kill me because I might marry Ying Niang? So you plan to do it in advance to avoid being tainted by me?"
Seeing Zhan'er who was silent and looking at him coldly, Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "How did you know that I would marry Ying Niang? Although she is beautiful, I have no good impression of her. Besides, Wang Hao will not marry Ying Niang to me.
of."
Hearing Ye An call the master by his name, Zhan'er was a little surprised. He shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have done it originally, but my wife convinced me last night, especially the poem you composed. After hearing this, I actually talked to my wife."
Both of them shed tears and praised your great talent. It would be a blessing to be the uncle of the Wang family!"
Ye An screamed strangely and cursed repeatedly: "Prodigal woman, prodigal woman! This "Slow Voice" was originally given to her to help her out of trouble, but now it's better... I'm doing it myself!"
The side room fell into silence again, Zhan'er sat on the ground holding her shoulders, and Ye An sat cross-legged opposite her, while catching mosquitoes with his hands.
This damn girl has a bad brain. In the middle of summer, she sneaked into a room that was smoked with mugwort and left the door open. The mosquitoes from the village rushed in like a swarm and bit her a lot!
In fact, Ye An woke up after Zhan'er entered his room. There was a mechanism made of thin wires on the door. Once the door was opened, the branch in his hand would fall down...
He casually took out a silver pen from his arms and threw it to Zhan'er and said, "Take it, it may be useful one day. I won't tell anyone what happened tonight, but don't harm anyone in the future."
Looking at the silver pen with the words "Laojun Guan" on it, Zhan'er returned it to Ye An: "This is the silver pen awarded by the imperial court. It cannot be used normally. If you use it, it will be locked up by the Yamen. You are harming me.
."
Ye An stared at her for a while, then handed it to her again and said, "It's useful! Now you can get out! Remember to close the door!"
This night was really interesting. It allowed Ye An to see clearly the warmth and coldness of human relationships in this era. It was ridiculous but sad, but for some reason Ye An slept well. Maybe it was because he planned to let Zhan'er go?
I woke up very thirsty early in the morning. I don’t know who put a sheet on me. I lay sweating all night. The pottery pot filled with water on the table was missing, so I had to go out to drink water...
He originally wanted to dive into the tank and drink to his heart's content, but thinking about the way the old man drank water yesterday, Ye An decisively gave up this idea.
The granary of Wangjiazhuang is in the side courtyard. Although it is also together with the main house, it is separated by a wall. It is impossible to reach it directly from the inner courtyard. You must enter and exit through the main entrance.
After arriving, Ye An, out of habit from his previous life, had figured out the terrain here early. The locations may seem inconsequential, but they can save lives at critical moments.
Our wealthy families can hardly move around at night. This was something the Wang Gang had specially explained before, so the appearance of that lamp here is a bit strange.
After applying some tooth powder on his toothbrush, Ye An took a tea cup and walked along the courtyard. His eyes kept scanning the surrounding walls. Sure enough, he saw something different. There was a place with thick weeds under the corner adjacent to the main house.
The dog hole is so small that God knows how Zhan'er managed to get his body through this dog hole.
After cleaning up the traces on the ground and covering the dog hole with weeds, Ye An walked away as if nothing had happened, whistling as he left and blowing the tooth powder in his mouth everywhere.
When you spray out a sip of water, you can see a rainbow in the sun. This is a simple physical phenomenon that cannot be simpler, but it was an ominous sign to the ancients.
The ancients believed that the rainbow was a two-headed monster and a symbol of ominousness. When he saw Ye An constantly spraying out water vapor to form a small rainbow in the sun, the master Xuan Chengzi said unceremoniously.
The whisk hit the back of his head.
"The rainbow is the qi where yin and yang meet. When the sun meets the rain, it becomes a substance, just like blood and qi. It is also the obscene qi that covers the heaven and earth."
The old Taoist's words once again subverted Ye An's cognition. It was obvious that the ancients did not know the reason for the appearance of the rainbow, and even knew that the appearance of the rainbow was formed after the intersection of the sun and the rain.
But in their minds, they still stubbornly inherited the ideas of their ancestors and believed that the appearance of this thing was ominous.
yes!
People's minds are the most difficult to change. This made Ye An think a lot. He thought of Yingniang's stubbornness, of Wang Hao and his wife's pedantry, and of course of Zhan'er's decisiveness.
In a sense, Zhan'er is an amazing woman, and can even be said to be a person with a strong heart. She dares to put her thoughts into action.
As for Ying Niang who came to look for him to elope late at night, Ye An just curled his lips and smiled. The purity in this little girl's heart was limited to herself!
The so-called escaping from the Wang family is just lashing your conscience with an invisible "whip". You see, I am ready to elope for you. Shouldn't you marry me?
This is not a request, it is simply a threat, just like what he did in Xiaochailin before.
Yingniang seemed to be a simple and kind-hearted woman, but she was not so kind to Zhan'er. She didn't know how much pain Zhan'er suffered, and of course she couldn't empathize with it.
But she even had the last bit of compassion and chose to continue letting Zhan'er stay with her because of her little habit of using "this convenience", which also brought trouble to herself.
Ye An squirted out the water in his mouth and formed a "water arrow" in the air. Ye An felt that there seemed to be no innocent people in Wangjiazhuang.
"Are all wealthy families like this?" Ye An asked Xuan Chengzi, who was also spitting out water arrows.
The old Taoist turned his head and replied seriously: "Wealthy families tend to do things with kindness and run the family with benevolence. Only this can make a family stable and lasting."
Ye An smiled, and his smile was full of bitterness. He remembered what the professor once said to you: "What the ancients wrote is the same as that of later generations. There are those who whitewash the peace! There are also those who smear the world! There are countless people who deceive the world and steal fame!"
It seems contradictory, but it is the helplessness of a scholar who cannot fully understand history, but he has seen it all...
