"Who are you?"
Patriarch Yan asked with a straight face, looking at this strange girl.The wordless boy smiled lightly on his lips and saluted: "Come down to meet Miss Begonia, I don't know if this sister can help make it convenient." ”"If I refute the request of the wordless son, I'm afraid I won't see the moon tonight."
The girl made a blessing salute and made a "please" gesture.The wordless boy said, "There is labor", and followed the girl to the rockery of the incense pavilion.The angry Yan patriarch snorted contemptuously, reached out to grab the sleeve of the speechless son, but was a step late, and watched him follow the girl with a smile and walk towards the rockery to the west of the jasper pond in the back garden."
Sooner or later, he will die at the hands of a woman."
Patriarch Yan cursed in a low voice, and was forced to hurriedly chase after him helplessly.He wanted to see who the owner of this strange girl was?
Who had the audacity to have a private meeting with Li Haitang in the Incense Pavilion?
The Incense Pavilion is a forbidden place set up by Zhuge Yi himself after entering the Wuxin Courtyard.The patriarchs, masters, and sons of the eight clans, regardless of their relatives, were not allowed to step into the courtyard gate of the Incense Pavilion for half a step, even if the old butler Abel was Zhuge Yi's confidant and loyal servant, they were blocked out of the courtyard gate.In this forbidden place, in addition to Zhuge Yi and Ling Ye, only the five shadow guards who secretly protect Zhuge Yi are most familiar.But the appearance of Li Haitang broke this iron law, and Zhuge Yi acquiesced to her coming to the Incense Pavilion.At this time, when Patriarch Yan, who was also grounded outside the gate of the courtyard, finally had the opportunity to enter the Incense Pavilion, how could he be willing to miss the opportunity.He longed to take a knife and engrave "Come here" in all corners of the incense pavilion.As the girl covered by the black gauze climbed the stairs in the belly of the rockery, she came to the incense pavilion built on the top of the rockery.What catches the eye is a wide platform with a simple and elegant gentleman's carved railing.Standing in front of the carved railing, looking down at the four-fold courtyard of the Wuxin Courtyard, and overlooking the sacrificial field in front of the Yansheng Hall.Wuxin Courtyard, Xiqiao Pavilion, and Longfu Family Temple seem to be under your feet, and you can peek at all of them by just lowering your head.Patriarch Yan stopped in front of the carved railing and sighed gloomily, in the six years that Zhuge Yi came to Ciyu Town, he didn't know how much time he had spent standing here to watch their every move, and they didn't even notice it."
Wordless son, Patriarch Yan, please!"
The girl pushed open the carved door of the incense pavilion and stood only outside.The wordless boy chuckled lightly, and walked into the incense pavilion with both hands behind his back.Patriarch Yan deliberately slowed down when he entered the door, staring at the girl's beautiful eyes as if he wanted to find out something.The girl's eyes widened and let him stare at it, her black jewel-like pupils were not mixed with a trace of panic, which calmly made Patriarch Yan annoyed."
Humph!
Rude!
”Patriarch Yan flicked his sleeves and stepped over the threshold with his feet raised, feeling angry for no reason when he saw the empty room.A huge square couch was placed in the center of the room, Li Haitang knelt at the square table to make tea, and beside her sat a handsome young man in a gray robe, chatting with the wordless son.Patriarch Yan only had the little girl cooking tea in his eyes, and it didn't matter who the handsome young man beside her was.He lunged over and reached out to grab the little girl's wrist as she scooped water."
Where is my gold?
Where is it?
”Li Haitang laughed and said, "Patriarch Yan's gold should be in the silver treasury of your mansion, why did you come to me to ask for it?"
”"Humph!
You used a fake jade egg to trick me out of my gold. ”Patriarch Yan took out the brocade box from his sleeve and put it on the table, pressed it with his big hand, and said indignantly: "Return my 200,000 taels of gold!"
”Li Haitang glanced at the brocade box coldly and said sarcastically: "Is the Yan clan elder old and has a poor memory?"
At the beginning, the brocade box I gave you was made of the imperial tribute Western yarn that was dedicated to the emperor in the Western Regions, and the Qiluo used for your brocade box. ”"Less blood, this is the brocade box you gave me at the beginning."
Patriarch Yan pushed the brocade box in front of her, pointed it and said, "You can see it, this brocade box and the jade eggs inside have not been changed at all." ”Li Haitang glanced coldly, turned his head and asked the handsome young man beside him, "Brother Wei Chi, can you identify this brocade box as the one you sent to me at the beginning?"
”Wei Chigui said indifferently: "Yes or no, check the jade eggs inside to know whether they are true or false."
The Western yarn of the Western Regions came from Siam, and the tulle rarely had patterns; And the Qiluo in the south of the Yangtze River is bright but not demonic, and is often woven into beautiful dark lines. ”"Yes."
Wordless Childe agreed.Wei Chigui instructed the girl covered with black gauze to bring a lamp and candle, and use the light to refract the pattern of the brocade box silk cloth to distinguish whether it was Western yarn or Jiangnan Qiluo.Five pairs of eyes carefully observed the lid of the brocade box, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no pattern, Patriarch Yan openly begged for 200,000 taels of gold, and the wordless son also beat the side drum to insinuate that Li Haitang took fake jade eggs to cheat money.Wei Chigui calmly tasted tea, without saying anything to help or defend.Li Haitang indifferently looked at the embarrassed cooperation between Patriarch Yan and the wordless son, one singing with a white face and the other with a red face, sneering her for cheating gold with fake jade, and sneering at her for being from a humble background, and even unable to distinguish between Western yarn and Qiluo.The two worked together to sarcastically mock Li Haitang for almost half an hour, and finally had the intention of stopping.The girl who covered her face with a black veil took off the hairpin on her bun and cut the brocade box, and then took off the black veil that covered her face and cut it from it, saying, "Little Hou Ye, Begonia girl, please see the difference between the brocade box and the veil." ”Wei Chigui only glanced at the truth to discern the truth, he followed his uncle to the north and south since he was a child, and followed his mother to walk the rivers and lakes after he was ten years old, I don't know how many good things he has destroyed in his hands.Li Haitang also pretended to take a look, turned his head to look at Wei Chigui, and asked, "Whose little marquis are you?"
”"Northwest Hou."
The wordless son hurriedly replied, and personally served a cup of hot tea, "Many years ago, I went to the Hou Mansion on behalf of my master to give gifts, and I was fortunate to have a relationship with the old Hou Ye. ”"Oh, I see."
Li Haitang pretended to suddenly realize, and saw that Wei Chigui did not mean to be polite and chattering.It seems that when the old marquis is mentioned, his eyes narrowed dangerously."
Impossible!
That's impossible!
”The friendly chatter was interrupted by Patriarch Yan's shouting, and the three of them saw Patriarch Yan grasping the torn brocade box with one hand and half a piece of black yarn with the other, and muttered in disbelief: "This is impossible!"
That's impossible!
No way!
No way!
”"Patriarch Yan, I advise you, don't pick soft persimmons.Sometimes it seems that you have the best of both worlds, but in fact, you are just deceiving yourself. ”Wei Chigui snatched the brocade box from Patriarch Yan's hand and opened it, took out the jade egg inside, and said, "This jade egg is also fake."
I guess there's no green opal in there either. ”"How do you know it's fake?
I've been hiding at home, and I don't even know my henchmen. ”Patriarch Yan stared at the fake jade egg in a daze, and remembered something in a trance.He turned his head and glared at the handsome wordless boy with angry eyes, "It's you!"
You swapped it out?
”The wordless boy shook his head and said, "Do you think that thing is worth it for me to be charged with stealing?"
It's just a jade egg, I really don't care about it. ”"Long before the wordless boy fetched it for you, the brocade box and the jade egg have been transferred."
Li Haitang poured a full cup of tea for everyone, looked at Patriarch Yan, and scolded: "Idiot!
”Patriarch Yan was indignant, pointed at the tip of her nose and scolded: "You slut, you dare to scold me?
”"In the Yan family's Zhongzheng Mansion, except for the tethered horse stone in front of the door, which belongs to you, the rest belong to others.Patriarch Yan, you still don't understand that you have become a lost dog?
Can't guess who stole the jade egg?
”"I ......"
Patriarch Yan spoke, looking down at the fake jade egg in his palm, his heart pierced like a thousand arrows.() Glory to the end
