For days in a row, it was snowing in the capital of Shuo, and the streets were deserted a lot.
In Xu Mansion, He Xinying stood in front of the study and knocked on the door. Inside, he said, “Come in.” He Xinying walked in.
“I made some sweet red bean soup in the kitchen, and it was too cold outside.” He Xinying smiled and took the small bowl out of the basket and put it in front of Xu Zhiheng’s table. “Fu Jun drink some warm body, don’t freeze Now.”
Xu Zhiheng’s eyes fell on the small white porcelain bowl on the table. In the porcelain bowl, the red bean sweet soup issued a sweet and greasy aroma, brown soup, which made him suddenly think of the bowl of tonics sent by the He family a long time ago.
This is also the color, such a sweet smell, the soup is very effective. After He Yan drank it, after three days of high fever, he could no longer see it.
Xu Zhiheng raised his head subconsciously, and He Xinying was looking at her tenderly, similar to He Yan between his brows and eyes, making Xu Zhiheng jump suddenly, standing up subconsciously, his sleeve accidentally brushing the soup bowl on the table , Sweet soup spilled all over the place, staining his clothes.
“Husband is okay?” He Xinying was startled, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the soup on Xu Zhiheng’s body, while calling on the maid to clean up.
“It’s okay.” Seeing the sweet soup spilled, Xu Zhiheng was relieved, took the veil and wiped the water on his body.
“This bowl is spilled, and I will ask someone to bring it over.” He Xinying was busy.
“No need.” Xu Zhiheng held her hand and smiled and pulled her to sit down beside her, “I’m not hungry.”
The woman’s hands are warm and soft, but it has dispelled the restlessness of these days.
He Xinying sat down beside him, thinking for a while, and said to Xu Zhiheng: “I heard Liu’er say that my mother came in a bit sick and has been sick in bed. I want to go back and see my mother, husband. How many days can I have free time? Why not go to the He family with me?”
The soldier’s book was always in her room, and He Xinying always felt unreliable. If one day Xu Zhiheng rises up to let people search the entire mansion, it will be easily found. What’s more, this soldier’s book came inexplicably. She couldn’t figure out what was going on. She might as well go back to the He family and ask Mrs. He Er, the mother knew more about the elder sister than she did.
“Do you want to go back to the He family?” Xu Zhiheng paused and asked He Xinying.
He looked at He Xinying’s gaze and took some scrutiny. He Xinying jumped in his heart and took his hand to take his arm. “I’ll go back and see it, and I will come back the next day. Could you return with me, husband? My mother may not have seen you for a long time.”
He Xinying had not suffered much since he was a child. When he married and went home, Xu Zhiheng knew that she was a little arrogant when she was in the He family. This is different from He Yan’s temperament. Although He Yan never provokes troubles and guards herself, it is absolutely impossible for her to act like He Xinying.
Xu Zhiheng said: “I have been very busy these past few days. I am afraid I will not have time to accompany you to your house. In this way, I will first ask someone to send you back. After a while, I will be free. I will accompany you again.”
He Xinying showed a wronged expression at the right time and said, “…Okay.”
Xu Zhiheng smiled and held her hand, his thoughts had long since drifted to other places.
Since he could not go to the He family now, let alone the two brothers of He Yuansheng, who knows what idea He Rufei is playing now. He arranged an eyeliner in his house to try to catch the handle…and He Xinying, Xu Zhiheng thought, although He Xinying is his own wife, but in the end he is surnamed He, who knows if He Rufei has passed her anger, That’s fine, since He Rufei can put an eyeliner on his house, does he know that he won’t count?
This time, let He Xinying go home to explore the bottom first.
…
In the middle of the night, it began to snow again.
It was freezing in cold weather, and He Yan got up in the dark. The room was dark, and she didn’t even light an oil lamp. Fortunately, she used to be a blind man in the past. Even if she didn’t light the lamp, she wouldn’t fall if she walked around the house. After getting dressed, he drew a dagger from the drawer and went out.
It was heavy under the snow, and she wore a thin layer to facilitate her movements. She only wore a thin layer of cotton clothes in her night clothes. When she went out, her nose almost froze. A charcoal fire was burning in the fragrant stable, emitting a faint glow. The courtyard was quiet inside and out, He Sui and his son and Ome were sleeping soundly, and there was no movement in Chiwu’s house. He Yan quietly pushed open the door and went out.
There was snow all around, and the long street was covered with silver and white. Lanterns were hanging under the eaves along the street. It was red and lively, and it was very lively. It will be almost New Years in two months. The New Year atmosphere is now there, although it is still a bit cold.
He Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately a white mist poured out in front of him. It is strange to say that the winter days of Liangzhou Wei are much colder than Shuojing, but at that time training day by day, the sweat of daily practice was dripping, but the cold was forgotten. It’s really cold stomping here now.
She only took a few steps, and when the street was almost at the end, she saw a carriage parked. He Yan was stunned for a moment. At night, the deserted street was suddenly filled with such a carriage in the road, which was like a ghost. He Yan narrowed her eyes and fixed her eyes. Then a coachman sat in front of the carriage. When she saw her, she took off the hat on her head.
“Fei… Fei Nu?” He Yan said in surprise, “Why are you here?”
Feinu didn’t speak, but the curtain of the carriage was lifted by someone, and a person walked down from the top. The ebony cloud-like brocade was beautiful and beautiful. When I looked at it, it was Xiao Jue.
He came over, his boots stepped on the snow, and made a rustling sound. He Yan approached him and asked, “What do you do here if you don’t sleep at night?”
Xiao Jue raised an eyebrow and said disapprovingly, “What about you? What do you do when you go out in the middle of the night?”
“I…” He Yan said for a long while, “I can’t sleep, and come out to relax.”
Xiao Jue chuckled and stared at her in full leisurely: “Miss, do you come out and wear night clothes?”
He Yan scratched her head, knowing that this man is very smart, and is not easy to cheat, frowning and saying: “I come out to do something…” She looked at Xiao Jue, suddenly turned around and glanced back, “You are a day Follow me all the time, and don’t let go in the middle of the night? Xiao Jue, even if I am your fiancee, you don’t have to chase so tightly.”
Xiao Jue: “…”
“What are you thinking about,” he seemed speechless, “you went out in the morning and bought a short sword in the blacksmith shop in the west of the city, and said,” he said lazily, “to go out so late, to kill or set fire?”
“Did I get rid of Chiwu when I bought the dagger?” He Yan was also puzzled. “How do you know?”
When doing these things, she has always been very cautious, knowing that being discovered by Chiwu will cause suspicion, but she finally got rid of the big man.
“It’s not Chiwu,” Xiao Jue said: “In a word, I just know.” He glanced at He Yan’s short sword that was not around his waist, and he was a bit disgusted. “It’s not because you gave you money, you can’t buy a good sword?” “
“What does this have to do with the sword?” He Yan said: “The important thing is the person who uses the sword and the swordsmanship. My swordsmanship is good, I don’t need a good sword to give myself glory.”
Xiao Jue nodded and said, “Family and frugality.”
“…The words are good,” He Yan asked, “how do you feel like you are scolding me?”
The snow outside kept falling, and it was on her hair very quickly, and she was covered with a thin layer of frost and snow. Xiao Jue pulled her down the eaves on the street and stood outside, blocking most of the snow, only Question: “Not yet said, so late, what are you doing with your sword?”
Seeing that it was impossible to hide, He Yan sighed and told the truth, “I was thinking, He Rufei must have a different relationship with the Uto people. He Rufei is very careful and difficult to grasp the handle, I If you want to go to the He family and find some other evidence, it would be better if you could grab the evidence related to He Rufei and the Uto people.”
“He Family?” Xiao Jue frowned lightly. “Are you going to go alone?”
“Anyway, I was also the He family in my last life,” He Yan leaned close to him, and whispered: “He’s inside and outside the house, I’m familiar with it. I also know the secret passages that others don’t know. It’s so easy to sneak in. Go alone Absolutely no problem.”
“No,” Xiao Jue interrupted her without thinking, “It’s too dangerous.”
“No, what’s the danger.” He Yan retorted, “He’s a guard, I can fight ten each. At this time, they have already fallen asleep. The house where Ru Rufei lives now is the house I used to live in, There are dark grids on the bookshelves, and there are some mezzanines in the wooden drawer. I know it clearly. I will leave as soon as I have found the things, and it will not be wrong. I have done sneak attacks on Uto in the night. I’m so scared.”
“He Rufei is now suspicious of you, and there must be more guards in the house. It is not a good time to go to the He family now.”
“After a long time, I am afraid that all the evidence will be destroyed.”
Xiao Jue’s eyes fell on her. After a while, he said: “I will go with you.”
“What?” He Yan immediately refused. “You and I went, but it became a burden. I was able to get away alone, and it was inconvenient for me to have one more.”
“Then don’t go there.”
“Xiao Jue,” He Yan was angry, “Why don’t you make sense!”
“Ok.”
Does this person fail to enter? But if you want to quarrel with him here, when the neighborhood is awakened, don’t even want to get out. He Yan stalemate with him for a while, and finally defeated, gritted his teeth and said: “Well, but I really did not expect that everyone else said that Xiao Er’s indifferent temperament, not close to human feelings, did not expect to be so sticky in private.”
“One another,” Xiao Jue looked at her with her chest. “Who made Miss He have a habit of going to other people’s houses in the middle of the night.” He leaned down slightly and looked at He Yan from a condescending tone, his tone was indifferent, “I’m afraid something is wrong, the wife will pay the debt.”
This person quarreled with others, probably never lost, He Yan was also said to have lost his temper, and said fiercely: “Forget it, if you want to follow along, go together, but I can say in advance, I really arrived at the He family , Don’t regret it.”
Xiao Jue smiled and reached for her waist, He Yan was busy protecting the belt, “What are you doing?”
He took a deep breath: “What do you think I am going to do?”
“Late in the middle of the night, alone men and widows can do more things.” He Yan murmured softly, “Who knows what you are going to do?”
“He Yan.” Xiao Jue said calmly.
“I laughed.” He Yan smiled pleased.
“Your sword is too bad, change this one.” He took off his sword and handed it to He Yan.
“Isn’t it Qiuqiu?” He Yan froze for a moment. Xiao Jue had already inserted the Qiuqiu sword into her hands. She knew that Qiuqiu was precious and wanted to return it to him. “What should I do?”
Xiao Jue glanced at her and raised the corner of his mouth: “Change this one, so that others will not say that my Xiao family is shabby and shame on me.”
“What other people,” He Yan hurriedly said: “Bah, Bah, we go to He’s house today, certainly no one will be alarmed, how can anyone else see?”
Before He Yan finished, Xiao Jue had drawn her short sword from her waist and walked forward, “hold it.”
He Yan had no choice but to keep up.
Feinu parked the carriage on the side of the road, and the three of them left together and drove towards the direction of the He family.
The He Mansion is located at the west end of the city. The house looks not as elegant as the Xu’s, but it is also impressive. The Fei Nu guarded the reception outside the house, and He Yan took Xiao Jue to the backyard wall. When he walked to one place, he stopped and whispered, “Here, this is my secret passage.”
Xiao Jue stared at the hole in front of which he could barely allow a person to crawl through, and asked calmly: “What is your so-called secret passage, is it a dog hole?”
“Hush,” He Yan raised her finger to her lips. “Sing a little. This dog hole is not a normal dog hole. I dare say that no one in the entire He family knows.”
“I was a man when I was a kid, but I was not strong enough. I was with other boys and I was always worried about leaks. The family was afraid that I would be in trouble because of too much exposure on the outside, so I was locked in the house. Before I entered the Xianchang Hall, I went out from this dog hole every day before dawn, and climbed to the east monastery of the capital to help the monks in the temple to pick water and firewood. After that, you can hit a fist with a rock hanging on your wrist.”
“The young people at the Xianchang Pavilion are extremely powerful, but if I hadn’t secretly practiced climbing in private, I was afraid that I would have a worse life in the Xianchang Pavilion.”
“Ah,” she moved. “It wouldn’t be that time that I helped the monks in the temple to do too much work, so the Buddha sees my sincerity and will give me a chance to reincarnate. No wonder everyone always said If you want to form a good relationship, it is true, do you say that?” She turned to look at Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue squeezed his forehead and said: “So, do you mean, do you want me to drill a dog hole?”
“Yeah.” He Yan said: “I said earlier, you must follow me, don’t regret it, and it’s not without reminding you.”
“Don’t drill.” Xiao Jue frowned slightly and turned his head away, as if disgusting at a glance, “I’m over the wall.”
“Don’t say, there are institutions everywhere in the He family’s fence. He Rufei must be rearranged now. I don’t know exactly where. If you trigger the institution, we will give up our efforts.” He Yan looked at him, “That If you are like Feinu, wait for me outside, I will just go in.”
“No.”
“Master, good deeds,” He Yan was helpless: “This will not work, nor will that work, what are you going to do?”
Xiao Jue looked at the dog hole expressionlessly for a moment, suddenly flicked the robe corner, knelt down, and turned his head to He Yan said: “You first.”
This time, He Yan was really shocked, “Do you really want to drill?”
“Hurry up.” Xiao Jue could not bear it.
He Yan was originally hoping to let Xiao Jue retreat through this dog hole, but did not expect that this man actually really drilled. For a time, his heart was filled with emotions, to say that Xiao Jue’s sacrifice was too great. If the soldiers of the Nanfu soldiers of the Nine Banner Camp knew that their governor would sleep in the middle of the night and ran to the dog hole, they would definitely kill her.
However, this is not He Yan deliberately embarrassed. The dog hole in the He family was originally planned by herself. The He family does not like to keep dogs. He Yan originally fed the stray dogs outside. It is much safer here than Xiao Jue said.
“Then you follow me.” He Yan whispered: “Just move.”
She didn’t care about the embarrassment of drilling a dog hole at all. After all, she grew from a small one to a big one. She hadn’t drilled for a long time. She was also kind. She went in like a loach when she was wrong. Xiao Jue endured it and crawled in.
The wall of He Mansion is thick, and the hole was made by He Yan when he was young. It is not big. With his adult body, it is slightly narrower. When he just drilled out, he did not stand still, and he saw a weak lantern. Under the light, a mass of yellow things rushed over.
Xiao Jue was about to shoot, and He Yan was surprised and whispered: “Er Mao!”
The man named “Ermao” ran to He Yan and hit a roll. He pulled He Yan’s leg and was very affectionate. It was originally a yellow dog.
Xiao Jue: “What is this?”
“I raised it.” He Yan whispered: “I thought after I died, Ermao was also kicked out. I didn’t expect it to be still there.”
To be precise, He Yan, who was still young, picked up a stray dog and returned to his home, named Da Mao. The He family did not wait to see the dirty stray dogs, but at that time He Yan had no friends. When he was lonely, it was good to have a yellow dog as a companion. Da Mao later gave birth to a litter of puppies, but it was too cold, except for Er Mao, none of them survived. The surviving Ermao was still dumb.
He Rufei removed all the traces of He Yan one by one. He Yan thought that he would never see Ermao again, but he didn’t expect to see it. However, Er Mao lived in the backyard on weekdays and caught the mouse to eat. It was estimated that He Rufei didn’t want to get rid of it. He simply forgot the dog.
“It seems to recognize me.” He Yan stared at Er Mao who was wagging his tail, sighing: “I have been in the same class with you, Lin Shuanghe, and Yan He for so long, you have not recognized me, this It’s not as good as Er Mao.”
Er Mao’s silly Chong Heyan threw out his tongue and laughed.
Xiao Jue closed his eyes and patiently said, “Now is not the time for you to meet the old again.”
“I know.” He Yan gave Ermao a “sit down” gesture, and Huang Quan sat down obediently, “Ermao, you will stay here to let me take my place.” She turned to Xiao Jue: ” Come with me.”
He Fu is very big, and He Yan is very vigilant. Every time he walks, he has to hide in the dark and search around to find people. Although she did not enter the He Mansion a few days ago, she secretly wandered around the He Mansion. The staff of the He family had a lot more manpower than when she was still there. You don’t have to think about it.
Perhaps it was He Rufei who thought that the He family had more people to support the “General Feihong” group, or maybe he was a guilty conscience.
The courtyard where He Rufei lived, that is, the courtyard where He Yan originally lived, is the deepest and innermost one in He Mansion. Xiao Jue asked in a low voice: “Why is it so far?”
“Because Master He is so ugly and eccentric because of his natural appearance.” He Yan said: “I don’t like too much contact with people.”
In her yard, there were few people waiting, and she was very partial. If He Yan had been a quiet temperament since childhood, the child always had many fantasies. She was originally lively and curious about everything. Because of this identity, he can only stay in the yard and play alone for a long time. Even if he is not lonely, he will be kept lonely.
A child can’t do this or that, and even the little girls can’t wait on their own, let alone play together. After a long time, they will have fun for themselves. For example, she used branches to draw pictures on the sand, and every room in the Hejia yard can be accurately drawn, because she has walked thousands of times in her mind.
He Yan once suspected that after she joined the army, the reason why she was always very sensitive to the terrain was that she would never forget what she walked once. Actually, it was her childhood experience.
“The pattern in the house has changed.” He Yan whispered: “We have to be careful.”
The night was very deep at this time. The night watchmen were in the outer courtyard. There was nothing to do in the house, but you can feel at ease. Seeing that he was going to He Rufei’s yard, He Yan became more and more nervous.
Turning over a long corridor, when he was about to walk forward, He Yan stepped in a sudden, and suddenly, silently pulled Xiao Jue into the empty tea house.
Xiao Jue was about to speak, and He Yan put a hand over his mouth: “Hush, someone.”
The sound of people’s footsteps resounded outside. It was probably Xiao Xiao went to the hut at night and passed by the door. The sound gradually went away. When there was no sound outside, He Yan was relieved, and he turned back, stunned.
When the moon came out sometime, through the window, there was a bright light on the ground. Xiao Jue was pushed to the side of the wall by her, and her back was against the wall. He Yan was tense for a moment, almost the entire person was lying on him, and he was motionless, his hands slightly back, as if deliberately avoiding, He Yan was covering His mouth looks like a female rogue who is not rude.
She was shocked and withdrew her hand subconsciously.
The young man looked at her indifferently, suddenly bent his lips, and said silently: “Do you take advantage of me?”
He Yan almost choked, shaking his head again and again, “No, no, I was too anxious just now, not intentionally.”
The man nodded as if smiling, and his eyes clearly read unbelief.
He Yan has miserable words, anyway, she is not polite Xiao Jue not one day or two days, nor care about once or twice. I glanced through the door slit and saw no one, whispering, “Go.”
