Chapter 146 Heavy Rain(1/2)
At the same time, Chen Qushui, who was far away in Kyoto, was shocked by a rumbling thunder.
He got up in horror and heard a clatter of rain falling from the sky.
It turned out to be raining!
He covered his chest and calmed down after a while.
These days in the Duke of England were really a good night for Chen Qushui - although Song Mo lifted his imprisonment a few days ago, for him, not leaving the Duke of England for a day would be like being in a tiger's den.
He sat quietly for a while.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier. The strong wind blows the branches and makes crackling sounds. The benzoin at the head of the bed floats in the air, but gives people a sense of peace and tranquility.
Chen Qushui couldn't help but smile.
When did this pineapple ignite benzoin?
Are you afraid that he will not sleep well?
Song Mo sent two twelve and three-year-old servants to "serve" him. One was named Songluo and the other was named Wuyi, both of which were tea. Songluo was lively and Wuyi was calm, but both of them were very sensitive, and they didn't say anything they should say, and they didn't say anything they shouldn't say. They were very thoughtful in food, clothing, and were a little familiar with literature and writing. When flattering him, they all said something. It made him sigh from time to time that the Duke of England could easily take out two such servants. How could they do it without a hundred years of precipitation?
He remembered that the windows in the study were not closed.
The study room is most afraid of moisture.
Chen Qushui called the servant on duty: "Songluo! Songluo!"
No one agreed.
Chen Qu frowned.
I don’t know if it was because of the order or the rules of the Duke of England were like this. The two servants never left him, but today he couldn’t call anyone?
He was secretly surprised. The light from the corner of his eyes reflected on a white mourning clothes.
This was sent by a servant named Zeng Wu.
The Duke of England's wife passed away, and everyone in the Duke of England's mansion had to wear mourning.
He explained to Zeng Wu: "I'm just staying in this guest room and dress more simply."
Zeng Wu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "If you eat from the Duke of the British Mansion and drink from the Duke of the British Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Duke of the British Mansion. Don't think that you are Mr. Yan's confidant and can be different. Even if Mr. Yan comes back, he must also wear filial piety."
Chen Qushui made an excuse for Yan Chaoqing to live in.
Of course, he would not have silently accepted the filial piety clothes for this and Zeng Wu.
Zeng Wuzhi walked out arrogantly, and while walking, he muttered: "Isn't it just an excuse to know Mr. Yan, so he coaxed the young master and ran to our mansion to cheat food and drink. What's so great about it? He dared to take / Qiao in front of me, which made me angry. I went to the Duke's place to sue you, so that you could not eat!" His tone was full of disdain and contempt.
Chen Qushui could only smile bitterly.
More than one person in the Duke of England viewed him like this.
But that's fine, no one will notice him.
He found a robe from the high cabinet beside him and put it behind his back, and went to the study.
Four ice-cracked brocade windows make the study bright and breathable during the day, but at this time, it is a bit troublesome to lock it up.
Chen Qushui was about to close the bracket when he saw Songluo running towards this side with a banana leaf on his head.
He thought of the resting fire in the room, and the water moved his heart and hid behind the window.
Soon, light footsteps sounded under the corridor and walked to the ear room next to the inner room.
That was the bedroom of Songluo and Wuyi.
So late, where did he go?
Chen Qushui thought, walked out from behind the window.
Someone ran towards this side in the rain.
Chen Qushui looked closely and found that it was Wuyi.
Like Songluo, he went straight to the ear room.
Chen Qushui felt that the situation was a little unusual.
He thought for a while, walked gently against the door of the room and listened to the movement inside.
"You should change your wet clothes quickly and be careful that you will be discovered by Mr. Chen."
Although Wuyi's voice was small, he could hear it very clearly on such a night.
"What a bad luck! Why did you encounter rain?" Songluo murmured in a low voice.
Wuyi asked, "Have you found out?"
"I didn't find out anything." Songluo's voice seemed a little depressed, "I only knew that the Duke of the State personally told Wang Xi to arrest the people. As for why, no one knew, so he had to wait for the prince to come back before dealing with it." He said, and said in confusion, "It's so strange that I don't know many of the guards in the mansion, and I repeatedly checked my identity. If I hadn't met Guard Xie, I would almost have come back. In the past, if there were new guards, they would have been taken by people for a few days. They would have been asked to patrol the people in the mansion. But this time, I only knew one of the guards of Xie..."
"So I think something is wrong!" Wu Yi's voice seemed very worried, "Brother Chen Tao was served by the prince. The prince praised him for being cautious more than once, and even his own physical and honest money was handed over to Brother Chen Tao. What did Brother Chen Tao do? There is also Guard Wen. When the prince left, he told him in front of me that the prince went to Liaodong, he asked him to take care of our yard more, and said, "I asked me to go to him if I have anything to do, but I found someone after looking for him several times, but I didn't find anyone. What was he doing..."
The two fell silent at the same time.
Chen Qushui hurriedly returned to the room and lay down.
After a while, Songluo walked in.
"Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen!" He shouted at Chen Qushui in a low voice.
Chen Qushui hummed and turned over.
Songluo breathed a long sigh and lay down on the big kang next to the window outside the screen.
Chen Qushui couldn't sleep any longer.
Chen Tao knew him, as Wu Yi said, was a very careful young man, taciturn and observing his face. With his personality, it would be perfect to be a close follower.
What can he do?
I wonder what happened to Dou Zhao?
She should be very safe with Duan Gongyi and Chen Xiaofeng by her side.
What happened that day was really terrifying. If the lady hadn't made a quick decision, they would have died in the farm, right?
Unfortunately, I want to marry Wei Tingyu!
That brainless person didn't want him to be far apart from Song Mo in terms of age and identity. So why should Song Mo behave with him with respect and polite people?
Should I remind Wei Tingyu?
He must not be told about Tianzhuang. The fourth lady has to make up a reason for knowing Song Mo. But lies are like a big snowball. They will become thicker and thicker.
Chen Qushui sighed and listened to the rain all night.
The next morning, the rain became much lighter.
Wu Yi smiled and said to him: "I have something to do and I have to go to Guard Wen. Can Mr. Chen take my day off?"
Chen Qushui thought of the conversation between Wuyi and Songluo last night, and smiled quietly: "Go! Just have Songluo by my side."
Wuyi thanked and thanked again and happily went out.
He didn't come back until noon. After lunch, he said he would go out to find guard Wen: "...or have you gone out?"
This guard Wen looked thirty-five and six years old. He was a whispered guest, and he had never lived a family alone in the group of rooms in the East Mansion of the Duke of England.
In the afternoon, Wuyi still did not find Wen's guard.
Zeng Wu held an umbrella and came with a tall and burly man.
He introduced to the man: "There are only three people in the yard. One of the old men is a down-and-out scholar, Mr. Yan's confidant. He was taken in by the prince and lived here. The other two servants who served the scholar. One was Wuyi, who originally swept the study in Yizhitang, and the other was Songluo, who originally took care of the flowers and plants in Yizhitang. Later, he came here to the yard and successfully helped Chen Xiucai carry food and hot water, which could also be used." He said, calling Chen Qushui: "Hey, come here and see Chang Guard. He will be the guard of Yizhitang in the future. Your eyes will be bright in the future."
Chen Qushui was extremely shocked.
When Song Mo was away, Yizhitang actually wanted to change the guards?
What happened?
Chen didn't dare to reveal anything. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute the guards.
Guard Chang glanced at him coldly and walked around the room.
Chen Qushui was shocked.
The man's big hands were like palm-leaf fans, rough and powerful, and he wore a jade finger on his thumb.
He had seen such a man under the British Duke.
They are all masters of archery.
He left the door and Zeng Wu held an umbrella and wandered around the yard.
Wherever the guards often stop, they are all important places in the yard.
If a crossbow is arranged there, the entire yard is at range or something.
Chen Qushui was sweating coldly, and he endured it without showing a strange look.
But when the guard Chang and Zeng Wuyi left, he immediately called Wuyi and said, "How many guards have the prince left behind? Do you know what they have been doing these days?"
Wuyi also felt something was wrong.
