Fog Siege

Chapter 2
Qin Sang fell asleep for a while, but dreamed in a daze.In the dream, it seemed that he was still hunting in the mountains and forests, surrounded by thick fog, which is the common weather in Zhishan.As the fog thickened, she rode a horse and fell behind the crowd.There are dense forests everywhere, and the thick green branches and leaves are constantly brushing over her head, and she has to use her hands to push them aside, so as not to be disturbed by the branches.The horse stopped and walked like this, and the fog gradually dispersed, and from a distance, I could only see the followers in twos and threes, just ahead.And the one surrounded by arches in the middle was Yi Liankai.He sat on the horse, smiled back at her, and made a gesture.She hunted with him several times, knowing the hand signal meant that there was a big prey ahead, and ordered the attendants to ambush him.

Sure enough, seeing his gesture, the followers quietly rode their horses to surround him, slowly spread out the semi-circular encirclement, and then silently raised their guns to aim.She looked carefully, and there was no prey in front of her. Only Li Wangping, whose alias was Pan Jianchi, stood alone under the big tree.Her shock was no small matter. The followers had already aimed their sights, and more than a dozen black guns were aimed at Li Wangping, but he didn't realize it.

She was startled and anxious, and was about to yell loudly, when the gunshots exploded like firecrackers, Li Wangping was hit by random gunshots, covered in blood, shook his body and fell down.She couldn't help crying loudly, but someone next to her stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, it was Yi Liankai, his hand was as cold as ice, and his voice was even colder: "Why are you crying?" She was heartbroken I just wanted Yi Liankai to beat Li Wangping to death... He asked someone to beat him to death... His throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't cry no matter how hard he tried.She tried desperately to break away from his hand, to go and see Li Wangping, but after struggling so much, she finally woke up.

She sat up, and there was a light in the living room outside. The door of the bedroom was ajar, and the hazy yellow light came in through the door gap, as narrow as a gold border, and like a scroll painting. It was rolled up but not well, revealing the gold-sprinkled paper on the side, but the light is also illusory, making people feel in a trance.Her vest was covered in cold sweat, and she slowly fell down again, thinking to herself, luckily it was a dream.

A large area of ​​the pillow was wet from her crying, and it stuck to her face coldly.Thinking of Li Wangping, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.During the day, he didn't say a word to himself, not knowing what his plan was.And Yi Liankai had a violent temper. Although he and Li Wangping were innocent, but they hadn't seen each other for several years, he was called Pan Jianchi, and she asked Yi Liankai to rescue him again.In case Yi Liankai saw something wrong, with his usual temper, Li Wangping's life might be in danger.Thinking of this, she sat up again, thinking about Adjutant Song's matter, and felt that today's matter was very strange.Then Adjutant Song has never left Yi Liankai's side, and Yi Liankai treats him very kindly, why did he do something to murder Yi Liankai?
She was upset and couldn't make up her mind, and vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while.She had been married to Yi Liankai for several years, but she felt that he couldn't get rid of his playful temperament, and he was also moody.Apart from spending time and drinking every day, he refuses to do anything serious.Occasionally she tried to persuade her, but nine times out of ten it backfired.So in the end she also lost heart and let him eat, drink and have fun.Although she looked down on Yi Liankai in her heart, she couldn't figure out his thoughts - maybe she was too lazy to figure it out, anyway, this kind of life was just going through it day by day.She sat there with her knees hugged, only listening to the autumn insects chirping in the grass outside the window, and there were even unknown birds in the distance, "croaking", the cry was very sad, and the night in the mountain was more and more quiet.

She thought about it and got up in her pajamas.There was a square lacquer carved plate on the table, which contained a bowl of porridge and some side dishes, which must have been brought in by Han Ma, and the porridge bowl had long since lost its heat.She didn't feel hungry either. Looking at the little golden clock on the fireplace, it turned out that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

She changed her clothes and went downstairs again. There was only one attendant standing there. Seeing her making a sound, she waved her hand to stop her.Looking at the dining room, I saw the glass door was closed, and the light passed through the multicolored glass on the door leaf, reflecting on the snow-white marble underground, a stream of light.It was very quiet in the surrounding area, when Qin Sang heard the sound of a car outside the building, Qin Sang asked, "Is the young master out?"

The attendant replied respectfully: "No, I'm still drinking with Mr. Pan. Young Master Gao is drunk, and the young master sent a car to take him back first. It must be the car that came back at this time."

Qin Sang said "Oh" and said, "Go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare hangover soup."

The attendant agreed and went away. Qin Sang originally wanted to take a look at the restaurant, but hesitated when he walked to the door. After thinking about it, he finally stretched out his hand and pushed the door lightly. Unexpectedly, it couldn't be pushed. It must be someone from inside. The latch is on.Feeling more and more uneasy, she went round to the small parlour, and from there to the terrace.There used to be a row of holly trees planted beside the terrace, which looked like a wide fence in the dark, and she couldn't get across it wearing a cheongsam.Suddenly seeing the window of the smoking room on the other side of the balcony, I couldn't help but have an idea.I remembered that there was a secret door in the dining room leading to the smoking room, and the smoking room also had floor-to-ceiling windows, and it opened with a push.She walked into the smoking room without making a sound, but saw that the secret door was ajar, leaving a gap as narrow as a finger, so she looked into the dining room through the gap.The smoking room was pitch black, but a huge crystal chandelier hung in the dining room, illuminating the hall as bright as day.She looked in from the dark, and it was even clearer.The hot pot on the table was almost boiling, and Yi Liankai sat alone at the table, it must be hot, he even unbuttoned his shirt collar, as if he was doing nothing, holding a lighted cigarette in his hand , but did not smoke, just looked at the slowly burning cigarette.She wondered why Yi Liankai was the only one here when the attendant said that Yi Liankai was drinking with Pan Jianchi?
She felt her heart beating faster and faster, and a terrible idea suddenly popped up in her mind, maybe Yi Liankai saw something, so she had already attacked Pan Jianchi... Thinking of this, she put her hands on her chest, He took a few steps back, leaning against the wall, panting slightly.After a while, she felt calmer and looked around again. Yi Liankai was still sitting there smoking. Lian Kai heard it.Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, Yi Liankai raised his voice and asked, "What are you doing?"

His voice was so close and so loud that she felt another shock.

Because through the door, the attendant's voice sounded far away: "Master, the kitchen has sent hangover soup."

"No, let Mr. Pan and I be quiet for a while."

The attendant remained silent, Yi Liankai extinguished the cigarette, and lit another.The lighter "clicked", and the flames were reflected on his face. The corners of his lips were slightly curved, as if he was smiling. The smile was very pleasant, and he didn't know what he thought of.Qin Sang had never seen him have such an expression before, but felt that this situation was extremely weird.She was worried that Yi Liankai would find out, so she quietly withdrew.

She went out this time through the door of the smoking room. There is a western-style corridor leading to the stairs to go upstairs.She was worried, so she didn't turn left to go upstairs without knowing it, but turned right along the corridor and walked down that road.This road leads to the back garden and the next room. She was at a loss, she didn't know what she was thinking, but her feet went straight through the garden, she didn't know how far she had walked, and she didn't stop until she saw the light.Looking up, I saw a row of houses, and there was a faint hiss of horses. It turned out that I had walked to the stable without knowing it.There was a light on in the stable, and the door creaked, and it turned out that two servants came out.She was hidden in the darkness, and neither of them noticed.One of them was carrying a lantern, and the other footman said as he walked, "It's really bad luck. I have to serve the prisoners to eat and drink in the middle of the night."

The servant with the lantern said: "Stop complaining, Adjutant Song follows the young master all day long, maybe tomorrow the young master will let him go, and then you won't be able to fawn on him!"

The two of them walked away while talking, Qin Sang thought that Adjutant Song was locked in the stable, usually he followed Yi Liankai, and he was used to domineering, and he didn't expect such an end.She hesitated for a moment, and finally gently opened the window a crack.The window was an old style grass window, she slowly opened it up, but there was no sound.The light in the room slowly came out, and as far as he could see, it was Adjutant Song who was strangled by his neck and hung from the beam of the house. Looking at anything, his eyes were swollen and seemed to be bleeding, his tongue was sticking out because of suffocation, and he couldn't make a sound at all, foam was overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and he was about to be hanged alive.

She was about to scream, when suddenly a hand reached out from behind and covered her mouth.She was terrified and struggling desperately, but the man's hands tightly covered her nose and mouth, making her unable to make a sound.After earning a few bucks, she lost her strength, and felt her chest was about to explode. She was terrified, but she heard the person behind her whisper: "Xiao Sang...it's me."

She was so horrified that she couldn't make any sound, he slowly let go of his fingers, she breathed rapidly, panting slightly, looking into Li Wangping's eyes, so familiar yet so strange, as if she had been separated from her previous life this life.She heard her murmuring voice: "Hurry up and save him..."

"Xiao Sang." Because of his low voice, he was very close to her, as if right under her ear, "I can't tell you in detail, you go back quickly, if Yi Liankai finds out, everything will be over."

If Yi Liankai found out... She trembled all over and grabbed his arm: "Why don't you go?"

His expression was extremely resolute, and his voice was also: "I can't leave, I still have something to do."

"What is more important than your life?"

He actually smiled, his eyes glowed even in the dark.She hadn't seen him for several years, and she felt that he had become very strange, so strange that she almost didn't know him at all, as if he really became a stranger, but only this smile was familiar to her, every time he looked at her smiling like this At that time, she felt like an ignorant child, spoiled and pampered.I haven't seen him for many years, let alone a smile like his.But his smile was only fleeting, and he said softly: "There are many things in this world that are more important than my life."

"Then save Adjutant Song." She heard Adjutant Song struggling on the beam, and couldn't help grabbing his hand, "He's dying, save him quickly."

"If he doesn't die, more people will die, you go back quickly..."

At this time, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, and it turned out that the servants came back with lanterns.She was flustered, and he gently pushed her vest: "Go!"

She glanced at him hastily, almost pleading in her eyes: "Help me!"

He didn't speak any more, but pushed her again, she staggered forward a few steps, fortunately no one noticed, she clutched her chest and walked to the garden, only to hear that there was already a commotion at the stable, someone She was yelling something, and there were people running in the dark. She didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly ran back down the stairs, along the winding corridor, and ran back to her room in one breath.

When the door was closed, her heart was still beating wildly. The noise in the garden was getting louder and louder at the time of the thumping, and there were people running towards the western-style building. He vaguely heard Yi Liankai's voice coming from the downstairs window, as if he was asking something.The noise in the garden gradually died down, but the lights were turned on.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard in the corridor. Mother Han knocked on the door lightly and asked, "Young Mistress?"

She sat on the bed, still clenched her fists tightly, although her hands and feet were cold, her voice was still calm: "What's the matter?"

Han Ma said in a low voice: "Young master is losing his temper, young mistress, do you want to go and see?"

"What happened?"

"It is said that Adjutant Song is dead...Young master is furious, and the servants are afraid that they will not be able to persuade you, so I want to ask the young mistress to go and have a look..."

Qin Sang's heart sank suddenly, and she stood up and opened the door. Mother Han's face was pale, and she was still muttering: "It's really scary, young mistress... Why do you think Adjutant Song can't think about it..."

Qin Sang knew that when Yi Liankai really had a fit, all the servants would be in bad luck, and once Adjutant Song died, the servants would have no leader and no backbone, so whoever came up with the idea for Han Ma to invite her.What she was worried about was another matter, so she didn't have time to think about it.Han Ma took the cloak and chased out of the corridor to put it on for her.She hurriedly tied the ribbons and went downstairs. Although the cloak was made of Western-style serge, which was very light and warm, it was as long as ankles.Waiting to walk into the garden, the autumn wind blows head-on, making the cloak flutter like wings and fold like butterflies.She was clutching the cloak with both hands, and Han Ma was holding a lantern to shine on her feet. The garden was already full of servants standing in the garden.

Qin Sang didn't expect that Adjutant Song would still die. Obviously Pan Jianchi was there just now, and she begged him to save him, but Adjutant Song still died.The stables were already brightly lit. As soon as she stepped into the room, she suddenly saw the corpse lying on the ground. After the death of Adjutant Song, the facial features were distorted and hideous, which was even more frightening.Qin Sang couldn't help covering her mouth and let out a low cry, and took a few steps back. Luckily, Mother Han came up to support her. She didn't dare to look too much, but felt palpitations, but Yi Liankai asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll advise you during the day, you have to forgive others and forgive others." Before she could think about it, she couldn't help but said, "Now someone is killed..."

"What's wrong with someone's life?" Yi Liankai said impatiently, "Who told him to do something so daring and frightened that he hanged himself? It's just to spend more money..." He left a sentence: "Tomorrow Tell his family to come and collect the corpse." He walked to the door and grabbed Qin Sang's hand involuntarily: "Go back to sleep, what's so interesting about the dead, you're not afraid of having nightmares."

Qin Sang was dragged staggeringly by him, walked all the way through the garden, and only broke his hand when he entered the mansion: "What on earth are you going to do? It's a living human life!"

Yi Liankai was full of surprise, and looked at her: "Human life? He almost killed me today, such a villain who committed trouble, what's the pity if he hanged himself?"

Qin Sang was anxious and angry, she didn't want to argue with him any more, so she turned around and went upstairs, closing the door with a "bang".Leaning on the door, I just feel anxious, afraid, disappointed, and afraid... All kinds of emotions swept over me, swallowing me like a sea tide.She thought of Pan Jianchi, and of Adjutant Song who died for no reason.Looking up at the moonlight shining through the window, projecting in, shining on the magnificent furnishings in the house, but like the most exquisite cage in the world, I just feel trembling all over my body, and I can't help but want to cry a lot.

The night in the mountains is as long as water, and the sunrise is much later than in the plains, but the sky is still bright.The dawn on the glass windows penetrates the tulle curtains, dyeing the white screens with golden edges.In the morning of early autumn, it happened to be sunny again, and the sunlight was exceptionally clear, shining on the flowers and trees in the garden.Autumn in the mountains came very early, and the water lilies in the fountain pool were still blooming with faint blue flowers, but the leaves of the few sycamore trees by the pool were already turning yellow. The emerald leaves are scattered on the grass under the trees, like a huge emerald gold-woven blanket.

The Yijia Villa is Western-style, and the front and rear gardens are also designed by foreigners. The holly trees are neatly cut, and the meticulous symmetrical patterns are interspersed with snow-white marble statues. They are goddesses in Greek mythology. Among the trees, it seems to be the garden of Europa in a foreign magazine.After getting up, Qin Sang went downstairs and went to the balcony on the second floor to have a look, only to hear laughter from a distance in the garden, with Yi Liankai's voice in the middle, and vaguely heard him say: "...let's move further away. ..."

Seeing her coming downstairs, Mother Han asked her with a smile, "Young mistress is up? What do you want to eat?"

"Are there any guests?" Qin Sang asked suspiciously, "Why is the garden so lively?"

"Young Master and Master Pan are comparing marksmanship, Master Pan's marksmanship is really good!"

Qin Sang's heart tightened, and she walked quickly to the garden without thinking, and she saw the servants surrounding them, Yi Liankai was holding a revolver, and Pan Jianchi was holding two brand new Browning pistols in both hands.Yi Liankai raised his voice and shouted: "Let go!" There was a sound of "fluttering" behind the tree in the distance, and several pigeons flew up.Pan Jianchi shot from left to right, "bang bang bang" several times, and the pigeons fell to the ground. Only one white pigeon flew over the bushes and went very far, but Pan Jianchi didn't seem to look at it. He raised his hand and shot. It fell down like a bird, and none of the seven or eight pigeons survived, all of them fell bloody on the grass.

The servants first held their breath, and after a while they clapped their hands and applauded. Yi Liankai also laughed and clapped his hands in admiration: "Brother Pan's marksmanship is rare in my life, it is really wonderful!"

"My lord's gun is good, that's why it's so accurate." Pan Jianchi stroked the black shiny gun body, "I'm afraid you can't buy one for a few hundred dollars for such a good guy."

Yi Liankai laughed and said, "You know what you're looking for. I got these two new guns from Governor Gao through all means and deceit. These are Meng Shuai's favorites. It is said that the British counselor specially brought them from overseas. Give it to him, there are not many good guns like this in the country." Gao Peide, the governor of Changye, was named Meng Ren, and although Yi Liankai was arrogant, he didn't dare to push himself in front of him, and they all followed the outsiders to call him Meng Shuai.Yi Liankai saw that Pan Jianchi couldn't put it down, and said generously, "Since you like it, take it."

Pan Jianchi said repeatedly: "No, no, I dare not take the young master's love."

Yi Liankai said: "How can you repay a life-saving grace, let alone two pistols. Besides, swords are given to knights, and red powder is given to beauties. Such a good gun should be used by people like Mr. Pan. It is only suitable."

Pan Jianchi pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "My lord, sincerity, I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful. There is just one thing, since my lord allows Pan to follow me around, I really can't afford to call me Mr. There is no need to be polite about Hu Pan’s cursive characters.”

Yi Liankai laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay!" Turning to see Qin Sang, he waved to her, "Why are you up so early?"

Qin Sang forced a smile. She could barely fall asleep last night. When she closed her eyes, she seemed to see Adjutant Song being hung on the beam. She kicked and scratched with both hands, and stared blankly at him with her bulging eyes. she.That horrific scene made her unable to close her eyes all night. She didn't expect that just as someone died last night, the perpetrator was playing here as if nothing had happened this morning.

"Adjutant Song deserves to die. I really didn't expect him to hide evil intentions. It seems that he is the one who can be relied on." Yi Liankai told Qin Sang kindly, "Since Jianchi is your distant cousin, he just came back from abroad and is so skilled. , I intend to make him my new adjutant."

Qin Sang was startled and suspicious, she didn't know what kind of medicine Li Wangping was selling in the gourd, let alone whether Yi Liankai's move was done on a whim.She said in a daze, "My distant cousin..." She hardly dared to look at Pan Jianchi, she could only look at Yi Liankai, and forced a smile, "I didn't have much contact with this cousin before... just Three aunts and their family passed it down for several generations..."

"I know, I know." Yi Liankai interrupted impatiently, "Is it possible for him to go into battle and kill the enemy by following me? You just need to rest assured that I never let the people around me suffer, and besides, he is willing to do it himself, so what are you talking about? "

Qin Sang was afraid that if she said more, she would reveal some flaws, so she remained silent at the moment.Yi Liankai seemed very happy, and took her hand: "Let's go, go back and have breakfast."

She and Yi Liankai had breakfast, and in the past Adjutant Song stood by, but today it was Pan Jianchi, Qin Sang couldn't eat, and was worried that Yi Liankai might spot something, so she didn't say a word, just tell him She had never talked so much with Yi Liankai before, and she was afraid that he would feel something strange because of her talkativeness.It turns out that the ancients said that being a thief has a guilty conscience, and there are really some.Although he wasn't a thief, he had a guilty conscience that he couldn't tell.

Just halfway through breakfast, the servant suddenly came in and whispered something to Pan Jianchi. Seeing Pan Jianchi's expression slightly astonished, the servant stood on tiptoe again and whispered in his ear for a while. Pan Jianchi walked up to Yi Liankai, whispering Low said something.After hearing his words, Yi Liankai was astonished: "What is she here for?"

Pan Jianchi glanced at Qin Sang, then lowered his head again, as if waiting for Yi Liankai's orders.

Yi Liankai thought for a while: "Let her in."

Pan Jianchi agreed, and went to the servant himself.Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Qin Sang seemed to have something unspeakable. Adjutant Song was like this before, but Pan Jianchi did not expect it to be like this.She stirred the coffee in the cup with a small spoon, but Yi Liankai said: "You go upstairs first."

If it was in the past, she would not be too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs, but today she became stubborn for some reason, raised her face and asked indifferently: "Is there anything you want to hide from me?"

Yi Liankai was unexpectedly startled, and subconsciously said, "It's nothing."

"Then I can't be here?"

Yi Liankai seemed to be angry, paused for a while, and then said coldly: "It's up to you."

It wasn't until the footman ushered the guest in that she realized why he had such an angry tone. It turned out that the visitor was none other than the woman riding a horse that Fu Yuan met Ling Min Hongyu when she went up the mountain at the beginning of that day.

Qin Sang had heard about Min Hongyu's fame for a long time, because the wives of Fu Yuan, when they mentioned this social celebrity, Ms. Min, they all looked down on their faces, and almost regarded it as a bright flag of Fu Yuan.The guests who entered the curtain were all dignitaries, there were even rumors that Yi's second son, Yi Lianshen, once bowed down under her pomegranate skirt.The last time Qin Sang glanced at her in the mountain road, Qin Sang's impression of her was a young woman with a bright face. When I came back today, I saw her wearing a moon-white gauze cheongsam with faint patterns of orchids and emerald pearls on her hair. Nothing, only a string of pure white pearls around her neck, each of which was the size of a lotus seed, the faint pearls made her look even more picturesque, before she could speak, she smiled: "My lord!" Turning to see Qin Sang Neither humble nor overbearing, "This must be the Young Madam, right? I bumped into the Young Madam on the mountain road that day, and I haven't apologized to you yet, but there must be a lot of Young Madam, and I don't know as much as I do."

Qin Sang didn't find her annoying - indeed, because Yi Liankai was already too annoying to her, she couldn't hate this woman.She respected her status and didn't answer, but just looked at Yi Liankai.

The Yi family's family rules are strict, especially the prohibition of whoring and gambling, and they are even more worried about taking concubines.Although Yi Jipei himself has a concubine on the left and a wife on the right, he manages the three sons obediently, and Yi Liankai is playing for fun, but under the strict regulations of his father, he dare not go beyond the rules.Seeing Qin Sang looking at her now, she felt even more annoyed, and said, "You go upstairs first."

Qin Sang was in front of outsiders, so it was inconvenient to argue with him, so she just gave him a casual look, got up and went upstairs.She was always quiet in the room, so she picked up a western magazine and looked at it. After a while, she heard the sound of a car downstairs. Mother Han came in and told her quietly: "My lord took that woman out by car."

This was as expected, but Mother Han told her again: "Even the new Adjutant Pan didn't let me follow, the young master is really...too nonsense...and that woman, who had the nerve to come to the door , and really shameless."

Qin Sang thought, since Pan Jianchi is new here, and he is his so-called cousin, Yi Liankai is probably too embarrassed to ask him to go with him.But this is an excellent opportunity, so he said to Han Ma: "Where is Adjutant Pan now? I just want to go to the city to buy something, ask Adjutant Pan to accompany me."

Han Ma thought she was angry with Yi Liankai, so she laughed and said, "It's good for young mistress to go out for a stroll, but it's always boring at home." So she waited for her to change her clothes for going out, and went downstairs to ask someone to prepare the car.

Because Yi Liankai didn't serve in the army, the so-called adjutant was actually the head of the servants and servants, and he didn't wear a military uniform, and just accompanied him to eat, drink and have fun.Pan Jianchi was still in a suit and leather shoes, and after taking care of her in the car in a personable manner, he took the seat next to the driver himself.She was full of worries, but there was a driver in the car, so it was inconvenient to talk, so she just quietly looked at the scenery outside the car window.

The car came down the winding mountain road at a fast speed, and arrived in the town in a short while.Although this is a small town, it is quite prosperous because there are many dignitaries on the mountain to escape the summer heat. The two cross streets are all roads paved with bluestone slabs, and there are many shops on both sides. The things sold are all kinds of food and clothing. All kinds of goods are not inferior to those in Changye City, but the price is naturally more expensive.

Pan Jianchi made the most of the rules, got out of the car first, and personally held up an umbrella to cover Qin Sang from the sun. After Qin Sang got out of the car, he opened his handbag and gave the driver a ten-yuan bill, saying, "Adjutant Pan will accompany me." Go shopping, or just go to a small restaurant, you park the car here, go to eat first."

The driver was naturally eager, took the money and walked away.Pan Jianchi followed Qin Sang, walked with her to several shops, and bought a few things.Holding an umbrella for her in one hand, and carrying some paper boxes of clothes and the like in the other.Although Qin Sang felt that she had a lot to say to him, she didn't say a word in the end, until the sun was shining and the street was getting hotter and hotter. She saw a western restaurant across the street, so she went in.

The receptionists in western restaurants have the most discerning eyes, especially the receptionists in western restaurants in this town have sharp eyes.Looking at Qin Sang's attire, he knew that he had an extraordinary background.Followed by a footman carrying things under an umbrella, he must be a lady or young grandmother from a rich family who is escaping the summer heat in the mountains, so he greeted them with a smile on his face, first bowed deeply, and then led them to the quiet second floor.

Business was light in the afternoon, and they were the only guests on the second floor.Golden mandala flowers were scalded on the snow-white tablecloth, and the sunlight shone through the glass, reflecting on the bronzing lines, rippling the golden light one by one, but it seemed to burn people's eyes sorely.

Qin Sang held the glass of ice water but didn't drink it. She slowly watched water droplets condense on the wall of the glass, and there was a water mark slipping down abruptly, which made her palm cool.She put down the cup, looked up at Pan Jianchi, and asked softly, "What exactly do you want?"

Pan Jianchi smiled, but did not answer.Qin Sang was confused, and said: "Since you have studied abroad in Japan, you should naturally start a career when you come back. Why are you willing to come here and be sent to work?"

However, Pan Jianchi smiled slightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions. Even if I have ambitions, I am a scholar with no background and no backer. Who would pay me any attention? On the contrary, Mr. Yi has a good eye for me. The so-called scholar dies for his confidant. I think it is worth it." "

Qin Sang never expected that he would say such a thing, and blood surged in his chest, with indescribable anger and disappointment.Pan Jianchi said: "At the beginning you were interested in me, but unfortunately I don't have a powerful old man, nor do I have a lintel with hairpin tassels for generations. It is natural for your father to look down on me. Later, my mother sold the ancestral land for me to go to Japan. It’s not like I don’t have the idea of ​​​​working hard. It’s a pity that even if I get No.1 in the exam, so what? My Japanese classmates are all children of wealthy families. They are commanders and even generals as soon as they go to the battlefield. What about me? Hitting a wall, being framed by jealousy and imprisoned. Ambition? Career?" He smiled almost self-deprecatingly, "Without a backer, without money, the end is to be crushed to death like an ant."

Qin Sang was silent for a while before saying, "Are you really going to follow Yi Liankai?"

Pan Jianchi smiled: "People treat me like a gentleman of the country, and I treat others like a gentleman of the country."

Qin Sang finally couldn't help it and said: "I thought you were really a revolutionary party, but I didn't expect you to be shaking your head and tail..." At this point, I really don't want to utter dirty words, let alone humiliate my former lover, so I will live behind you Swallow the words.Turning his head and looking out the window, under the scorching sun, there are very few pedestrians on the street, and there is only the shining white sun on the street.This season is the time when the "autumn tiger" is at its strongest, and it is also the hottest time of the day.The shops on both sides were also listless, with all kinds of fake signboards motionless under the quiet sunlight.Because it was not market day, the street was very quiet, except for a shaving picker's burden at the street corner, hidden under the shadow of the fence.And the barber was also listless, and it took a while before he hit the iron plate with a "crack".

In such a quiet afternoon, listening to the sound of the iron piece, it seemed even quieter.

She originally thought that he took a great risk to stay, maybe he had something to say to herself.Unexpectedly, today's conversation really disappointed her to the extreme.At first, she was holding out hope that it might be because of her own reasons that he would stay in the Yi family, or that it would be good if he was really a revolutionary.But for various reasons, he chose the most embarrassing one.

Pan Jianchi seemed to have finally sighed softly, and said, "I hope you can understand—everyone has his own aspirations."

Qin Sang said: "I don't understand, and I don't want you to stay in Yi's house either."

Pan Jianchi didn't say anything, but just smiled again.

This conversation, of course, broke up unhappy.On the way back, Qin Sang remembered a movie she had seen with Deng Yulin back then. The two of them were just lamenting the man's misfortune, but they didn't expect such an embarrassing situation to fall on them.She thought that although Yi Liankai could not interfere with her own affairs, sometimes when she was happy, she might be able to say a few words to the side. This Pan Jianchi was no longer the Li Wangping she knew back then, and she couldn't keep him here. , sooner or later harm others.

Since she had such a mind, she always wanted to talk to Yi Liankai. She didn't want Yi Liankai to not see each other for several days, and even Pan Jianchi would leave early and return late.It was common for Yi Liankai not to return home at night, and even the servants in the family took it for granted, only Mother Han was afraid that she would get angry, so she hurried in and out carefully every day, and did not dare to mention Yi Liankai in front of her.After three or four days like this, Yi Liankai finally came back to the villa.

Qin Sang was sitting in the back corridor reading a book, because there was a huge apricot tree planted in the courtyard, and the green leaves were shaded, covering half of the corridor from the sunlight.There is a rattan chair under the shade of the tree, and next to the rattan chair is a rattan high table, with refreshments and a plate of fruit.Sparse sunlight leaked from the branches and leaves, flashing and shining on the pages of the book, like a golden butterfly, which perched lightly and then flew away.I had just read a few pages of a volume of "Faust", when I suddenly heard a car horn in front of me, and there was no one else in the noise except Yi Liankai.If not, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel very harsh when he heard his laughter in a short time, with the woman laughing and laughing.

She was about to stand up, but she saw that Yi Liankai was not alone, not only not alone, but the other person was Min Hongyu.Yi Liankai walked in with Min Hongyu in his arms, Qin Sang couldn't help frowning slightly, and wanted to avoid it.But Yi Liankai smiled and called to her: "Come on, Hongyu, you see, this is our young mistress!" Min Hongyu narrowed her eyes, her smile was like silk, her voice was more like satin, soft and soft Hua: "I've met Young Mistress!" She said, giggling, "I took the liberty to come to the door that day and didn't greet Young Mistress, it was Hongyu's disrespect." As he spoke, he gave a blessing according to the old etiquette.She has a graceful figure, and this ceremony is performed lightly and delicately, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Qin Sang didn't want to let the servants see the joke, held back his breath, and didn't look at Min Hongyu directly, got up and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Yi Liankai's complexion suddenly darkened, he let go of Min Hongyu, stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed her: "I'm talking to you!"

Qin Sang didn't want to talk to him at first, but he smelled of alcohol and smoke, and her breath was cloudy. She instinctively raised her handkerchief to cover her nose, and said, "Let go!" Pay no attention to it?"

Qin Sang said angrily, "What do you mean by bringing such a dubious woman home? Since you treat our marriage as nothing, then we should get a divorce."

Yi Liankai sneered and said, "Divorce means divorce, do you think I'm afraid? If the old man didn't force me back then, how could I have married you? Do you think I'm attracted to you just because of your looks?"

Qin Sang didn't want to talk to him, so he turned around and went upstairs.Yi Liankai stood where he was, sneering again and again.

At this moment, Yi Liankai seemed to have completely torn his face, and simply let Min Hongyu stay here, openly drinking and teasing at home every day.Qin Sang locked herself in the bedroom and didn't come out all day, trying to keep out of sight.Han Ma tried to persuade her a few times, but there was nothing she could do.But it dragged on for a few days, but it couldn't go on anymore, because the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to be celebrated.

Qin Sang didn't just ask Yi Liankai, but only urged the servants to pack their luggage and go down the mountain. After packing, Yi Liankai had already prepared the car and returned to Changye City with Min Hongyu.Qin Sang didn't ride with them, but was lazy to take care of it.

In Changye's Yi Zhai, Zhu's mother had long waited for it, and calculated that it was time for Yi Liankai and Qin Sang to come back.One day, I was sitting in the hall doing needlework, when I heard the horn of the car in front, and then there was a commotion in the concierge in front, I thought it must be that the young lady and uncle had returned.So he hurriedly put down his needle and thread to go out, and he saw several cars parked in the gatehouse, first Han Ma got out of the car, Qin Sang supported her hand, and also got out of the car.Zhu Ma went up to meet her with a smile, and Fang called out: "Miss..." Suddenly seeing Yi Liankai getting out of the first car in the back, Zhu Ma was wondering why the two of them were in different cars, but saw Yi Liankai. Kai stretched out his hand, and saw a hand on his hand. The sleeves of the silver-red cheongsam lined the fingertips and were painted with gorgeous Koudan. Immediately after, a silver-red figure came out of the car. It turned out to be a seductive young woman. .

Zhu Ma was taken aback, but she looked at Qin Sang as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn't seen anything, she went straight upstairs and went back to her room.Zhu Ma hurriedly followed, busily drawing water to wash Qin Sang's face, waiting for her to change clothes, and making tea: "Miss, are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks."

Qin Sang shook her head. Zhu Ma held back her words, but she didn't dare to ask Qin Sang a single word. After Qin Sang changed her clothes, she quietly left.Before he went downstairs, he saw Mother Han coming upstairs holding Qin Sang's jewelry box, so he grabbed her to ask.Mother Han couldn't help it, so she told Mama Zhu all about the situation in the mountain, and said, "It's really a crime. When I was in the mountain, the young lady was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night... I It seems that the young master was really fascinated by the vixen, and even brought it home..."

Zhu Ma was naturally angry and angry, but she had no choice but to use words to comfort her in every possible way.Qin Sang understood her intention, smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, since he ignores me, I'll go back to Fuyuan alone."

Zhu Ma would have misunderstood what she meant, thinking that she had suffered such a great grievance, and she must go back and ask Yi's parents to make decisions, so she said: "Miss is usually too good-natured, as the saying goes, people are kind and bullied. Ma Shan was ridden by someone. My uncle went too far this time, so naturally the commander will teach him the family law."

Qin Sang smiled, but didn't speak.

Going back to the old house was considered a major event, because she was the young mistress of the family, she had to worry about all kinds of gifts, luggage, the servants and maids to take, and it took two or three days of mental fuss before she was almost ready.Yi Liankai ordered someone to book a few first-class compartments on the Fuchang Expressway, and took the train back to Fuyuan.What surprised Qin Sang and Zhu Ma the most was that Yi Liankai brought Min Hongyu back to Fuyuan.Qin Sang was fine, thinking that he really made a fool of himself, and everyone was bored.Only Zhu Ma cursed "fox spirit" and "rotten whore" countless times behind her back, but there was nothing she could do about cursing.

When Yi Liankai went out, he always booked a box for Qin Sang by himself, because Qin Sang was afraid of noise, so he had a restless sleep on the train.This time he took Min Hongyu with him, and the two occupied one box, then Pan Jianchi took a few male servants and lived in another box, and Qin Sang and a few maids lived in the last box.Zhu Ma was so angry that her eyes were about to bleed, but Qin Sang seemed dispensable. She didn't want to take Zhu Ma with her at first, because Zhu Ma was getting old, and it was really hard to travel around like this.But after all, she is her dowry mother, and the Yi family has always been particular about manners, and they are afraid that Mama Zhu will be overwhelmed, so Mama Zhu still takes the lead and brings four maids to accompany her, leaving Mama Han alone. Watching the house in Changye.The car was going very fast, Qin Sang felt a little motion sickness, so she got dressed and rested after getting in the car.After a short rest, Zhu Ma prepared tea for her to rinse her mouth, and while packing out snacks, she said bitterly to her: "That new Adjutant Pan is nothing, look at how he is pretending to be a tiger, and he will give you half a cent, young mistress." Don't take it seriously."

Qin Sang was already lazy in her heart, so she picked up the teacup casually without making a sound.

But Zhu Ma said: "Miss, don't think I'm long-winded. It turns out that Adjutant Song is not a good person, and he only instigates the son-in-law to mess around outside. Now this Adjutant Pan seems to be the same thing. Miss is too honest, let me tell you Well, the lady should use some means, for a person like this, the lady should either win over a person like this well, so that she won't be able to catch the young master's whereabouts, or let him be docile and know how powerful..."

Qin Sang became even more impatient: "Stop talking, let people hear you later, what do you mean?"

Only then did Zhu Ma stop, and Qin Sang sat at the table, resting her chin and listening to the wheels rolling, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, the sound of the car was monotonous, all the way to the south, the scenery and fields outside the car window, straight back like a movie , but it is indescribably disheartened.

When the car arrived at Fang's shop, it had to be filled with water and steam, and it stopped for a long time.Fangjiadian was an important town where the troops were stationed. Commander Yao of the garrison heard that Yi Liankai was in the car, so he deliberately curry favor and sent someone to deliver some fruit.The adjutant sent by Biansheng didn't know Qin Sang, he got in the car and went to Yi Liankai's box, seeing Min Hongyu's fashionable attire, who was about the same age as Yi Liankai, he thought that this must be the third son's wife, so he said "young madam" ", quite a flattery.Yi Liankai was always proud, but now he was in high spirits, so he allowed him to misunderstand.But a maid happened to go to the box over there to get something, and when she came back she told Zhu Ma, Zhu Ma was so angry that she wanted to curse, Qin Sang said flatly, "What's there to be angry about?"

As soon as Master Yao's adjutant left, Min Hongyu sent her maid to deliver a basket of fruit to Qin Sang's box. When Zhu Ma saw it, she picked up the fruit basket and threw it out of the car window as if adding fuel to the fire.The maid suddenly felt that life was boring, she snorted and left.Not long after, Yi Liankai came over in person, stood at the door of the box and just sneered: "Is it the other way around?"

Zhu Ma is usually very responsible, but at this time she couldn't care about it, she rushed in front of Qin Sang and said: "Master, I'm my lady's dowry, if you bully our lady like this, I can't care about my old face! "

With Yi Liankai's temper, how could he resist a servant talking to him like this, and he was furious, so he said coldly, "What about him? Do you want me to do it myself?"

Seeing that the quarrel was stiff, the attendant had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward. Qin Sang stood up, stared at him, and said calmly, "How dare you!"

Although the attendant usually obeyed Yi Liankai's orders, when she saw Qin Sang standing there, she was usually timid and timid, but now she seemed to be a different person, with an indescribable coldness between her brows , I don’t know why the momentum was taken away by it, and he said: "Young Mistress..."

Yi Liankai pushed the attendant away, walked over a few steps, raised his hand and "slapped", hitting Qin Sang on the face.

Qin Sang was completely stunned, he hit her so hard and hard that she staggered, holding on to the tea table, she felt her face was hot and the pain was so unbearable that she couldn't even speak.Yi Liankai was following Pan Jianchi, seeing this situation, he quickly took a step forward and held Yi Liankai back: "Young Master! You have something to say!"

Only then did the maids come to their senses, Zhu Ma stepped forward to support Qin Sang, but Yi Liankai was furious: "Qin, don't think that you are the young mistress after marrying me. Let me tell you, if you are sensible, you can marry me." To be honest, I can’t do without you to eat, drink and dress. If you give you three points of color, you dare to show me your face, I’m tired of working!” He had a violent temper, and while talking, he came forward and kicked again.Pan Jianchi turned pale with fright, and tried to persuade him, but the space in the box was narrow, and Qin Sang didn't dodge it, so the kick still landed on the hem of her cheongsam, although Yi Liankai was caught by Pan Jianchi. Divided his efforts, but still kicked Qin Sang staggeringly, and there was a footprint on the cheongsam of bead gray light gauze.

Seeing that the commotion was getting serious, the servants had already rushed forward, coaxing and begging, and persuaded Yi Liankai to leave.Several maids also rushed forward, surrounded and helped Qin Sang to sit on the soft bed.

Qin Sang didn't cry, nor did she feel any pain, but her heart felt tense, like when her mother died, she heard the news of the funeral at school, and rushed home, her heart felt as if someone was clenched in a fist on the way. In, pinched and gripped, and tightened intermittently.There was a slight nausea in her throat as if it was stuck, it was not disgusting to others, but to herself, how could she fall into such a muddy situation, how could it be?
While wiping her tears, Mama Zhu persuaded: "Miss, you cry, huh? It's fine to cry, don't be wronged... What kind of evil is this, my lord... to treat Miss like this..."

She didn't even shed a tear, she was just impatient, thinking there was nothing to cry about, it was just being beaten, he had never beaten her before, but the scolding was ugly.What he said is true, the identity is earned by himself, so what if his father married half of his net worth, in the eyes of others, it is the Qin family clinging to the Yi family dignitaries.

Zhu Ma asked other maids to go to the waiter and brought a pack of ice to apply to her face.Because her face was still burning and hurting, Qin Sang subconsciously avoided it, and Zhu Ma persuaded her like a child: "Young Mistress, apply this first, otherwise it will swell."

The cold ice pack was attached to the face, the burning pain was relieved, and the burning sensation on the skin gradually melted into the cold touch.She was in a daze, and Zhu Ma came to wait for her to change her clothes, so she let others manipulate her easily, but she didn't think about anything, and she calmed down unexpectedly.After changing clothes, Zhu Ma helped her to sit down again, she still pressed the ice bag with one hand, the ice inside gradually melted, and the condensed water dripped down her wrist and into her sleeve, like a cold ice bag. The little snake, meandering and silent, slid into the elbow.The thin little snake was icy cold, as if it had been burrowing in along the blood veins on the arm, burrowing in, until it was so cold that it felt sore and painful in the heart.She thought, no matter what, she couldn't bear it any longer.Even she herself felt resentment, resentment that she didn't make up her mind a few days ago and just finished it all in Changye's house.In the Changye mansion, there is a nanmu glass cabinet in the smoking room downstairs, in which there is an ivory-carved spear. It is said that it is a shotgun used by the regent of the former Qing Dynasty. Although it is old, it is very useful. Seeing that Yi Liankai used this shotgun, she also knew which drawer the gunpowder and bullets were in... The terrible thought only floated up for a moment, with a damp breath, like fog in winter, cloudy and cold And tide.She gathered herself together, the bell was already ringing outside, it was the train that was about to leave.

At this moment, someone outside the private room knocked lightly on the door. Zhu Ma opened the door and saw that it was Pan Jianchi, not to mention being annoyed, she stopped at the door and said, "What are you doing? Didn't you see that Young Mistress is not feeling well?"

Pan Jianchi said: "Young master said that it's too boring to take the train, so let's get off at Fang's shop first, or change cars, or change boats. Please go back to Fuyuan first, young mistress, so you don't have to wait for us all the way."

When Zhu Ma heard this, she trembled with anger, but Qin Sang felt that it was unnecessary. Pan Jianchi sent a few servants, who were said to serve in name, but in fact they were like surveillance.Zhu Ma watched helplessly as Yi Liankai got out of the car with Min Hongyu, and Pan Jianchi followed behind them, carrying only a few pieces of luggage.Standing on the platform, Min Hongyu was triumphant, and even blew a kiss to the window of their private car, Zhu Ma was so angry that she wanted to curse through the window, but Qin Sang seemed to hold her eyes closed, as if she had nothing to do thing.

This express train arrived at Fuyuan at night time. Fuyuan is the No.1 city in Jiangzuo, and it is also the end point of the Changfu Railway, the main north-south traffic route. Travelers going east to Wuchi have to change trains or boats here. The southbound railway has come to an end here, and those who go south to Minzhou have to change cars before leaving.Therefore, this Fuyuan Railway Station is also extremely bustling and lively. The huge train station is brightly lit, and the white mist from the steam locomotive envelops the platform.Qin Sang went back to Fuyuan in the old calendar year, looked out of the car window, and saw that the platform was full of tourists, but for some reason it was empty, there was no one there.Looking up, there is a row of houses at the train station not far away, and looking farther away, there are dark forests.Behind the forest is the city wall, and not far from the city tower is the rippling Fu Lake, which is vast and misty.Fuyuan's terrain is dangerous, surrounded by mountains on three sides, but on one side, the Fu Lake takes up half of the scenery of the city.The entire Fuyuan City was actually built along the lakeside, and many houses were built by the lakeside.Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is very beautiful.And the Yi family's old house is a deep and grand courtyard by the lake.

Because I sent a telegram before arriving, the servant of the Yi family boarded the box first as soon as the train stopped.The leader is Uncle Wang, the housekeeper of the old house. He is an old man who used to serve Yi Jipei's original wife. He has been in the Yi family for many years, and his wife is the nurse who took care of Yi Lianshen, so even Yi Liankai is extra polite. , called him "Uncle Wang".Seeing him, Qin Sang also smiled: "Uncle Fan Wang is here to pick us up."

Steward Wang was used to being cautious, and he repeatedly apologized and said, "Third Young Mistress, don't break my old bone." He also said, "Third Young Mistress has had a hard time on the road." He was puzzled, but he didn't ask too many questions.Accompany Qin Sang to get off the car first, there is already a car sent by the Yi family waiting on the platform, Uncle Wang personally waits for Qin Sang to get on the car, and Han Ma sits next to the driver because she is a maid with her.Steward Wang also sat next to the driver, and had other servants to greet the servants and luggage.

Driving from the train station to Yi's old house, it took only two minutes, and after turning the last corner, you can see the archway at the intersection from a distance. Passing under the archway, you can see several willow trees guarding the two sides of the street. It is a vermilion lacquered gate, but there are two rows of guards with long guns standing there. Two lanterns the size of castor leaves are hung in the gate opening, which contain a hundred electric lights. The snow-bright light reflects a large open space in front of the gate, as bright as day generally.The wind blows the weeping willow branches and leaves, and you can see the wires surrounding the high wall, with spikes planted upside down.

Their car didn't stop all the time. They drove in and passed through the second gatehouse before stopping. Opposite the gatehouse was an antique glazed screen wall, and they got off the car in front of this screen wall.On weekdays when they came back, the servants in the upper room had already rushed out, grinning and scrambling forward, shouting loudly: "Greetings to the third lady!" Crowd them into the house.

It was surprisingly deserted today, no one came out from the upper room, when Qin Sang got off the car, a gust of cool wind hit her body, she couldn't help shivering.At this moment, a man came out from the upper room. Although he was wearing casual clothes, his posture looked like a soldier.He walked out unhurriedly, with a slight smile on his face: "The third sister is back?"

Seeing that it was him, Qin Sang couldn't help feeling slightly surprised, but still called out: "Second brother."

This person was Yi Jipei's second son, Yi Lianshen.Because he has been in the army all year round, he looks black, thin and handsome, with a natural and outstanding temperament. Compared with Yi Liankai's dandy appearance, he is hardly similar.Qin Sang seldom saw this second elder brother, and whenever Yi Liankai mentioned him, he always had a disdainful tone.The Yi family was an old-fashioned family, and the parents and concubines had always been well-defined and orderly. Yi Lianshen was busy with military affairs, and she only returned to the old house on three festivals a year, so the two of them didn't have much interaction.So she was just being polite: "Second brother is so late, and you still have to go out to do business?"

Yi Lianshen smiled, and said, "I'm not going out to do some business, I'm just waiting here for third sister...why didn't third brother come back with you?"

Qin Sang saw that although his face was smiling, but his eyes were twinkling, it was obvious that he wasn't smiling at all, so she couldn't help asking: "Is Father back yet? I'll go pay my respects to Father first."

Yi Lianshen smiled again: "There's no rush." ​​He spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, but Qin Sang was slightly surprised.He raised his hand and clapped two clapping clappings, and several armed horses appeared out of nowhere, walking forward with guns in their hands.However, Yi Lianshen stepped back slowly and said, "Third sister has worked hard on the road, so she must be tired, so let's take a good rest first."

No matter how dull Qin Sang was, she knew that something had happened, but she couldn't guess what happened.Although those horses were holding guns, they treated her respectfully and sent her to the east courtyard.As soon as she entered the door of this room, Qin Sang knew that not only something happened, but something serious happened.Because Yi Jipei's concubines, the eldest and young mistresses, and even the sixth concubine's daughter Xiaorong, who is only five years old, are all here.Almost all the female family members of the Hefu were locked in this room. It was said that they were locked because the door was locked from the outside. When Ma Bian unlocked it, almost all the people inside turned pale with fright. When they saw Qin Sang leave When he came in, everyone in the room was startled.After a long while, someone bumped his little feet to meet him, it was the young mistress.Although she looked panic-stricken, she was still able to hold Qin Sang's hand, as if she was choking on a word, and it took a long time to say: "Third sister... why are you back!" Several old aunts wiped their tears, and Yi Jipei's favorite sixth concubine was sitting on the red sandalwood couch with her arms around her daughter Xiaorong, her eyes were fixed, as if she had been greatly frightened.Yi Jipei had only three sons in half his life, and had no daughter, so he had always been very pampered to this youngest daughter. At this time, she was curled up in her mother's arms, looking at the adults in the room eagerly.

Qin Sang asked: "What happened?"

It didn't matter if she asked this question, Aunt Six burst into tears: "The sky is falling!" The horse outside the window poked the glass with the barrel of a gun "bang bang" and shouted: "Don't cry!"

Aunt Six was so frightened that she stopped her voice in a daze, but Xiaorong in her arms started to cry and said softly, "Mom...I'm afraid..."

"Baby is not afraid...Baby is not afraid..." Sixth Aunt murmured coaxing her daughter, patting her on the back, and comforting her.The young lady's eyes were red, and she pulled Qin Sang: "Where is the third brother? Has the third brother come back?"

Qin Sang asked: "What happened?"

The young lady wiped her tears and said that Yi Jipei came back last night and called Yi Lianshen to scold him for some reason. Later, when Yi Lianshen left the upper room, several servants heard Yi Jipei Pei cursed through the window: "You bastard who doesn't know how to live or die, watch how I deal with you tomorrow!"

Because Yi Jipei had always had a violent temper and was extremely strict with his sons, and Yi Lianshen was scolded every day, not for official business, but for private affairs, so almost everyone in the house got used to it. Didn't take it seriously.In the afternoon, Yi Jipei hosted a banquet for several colleagues at home, not only the brigade commanders in Fuyuan, but also the governor of Fuzhou, Zhang Xikun.In the middle of the meal, Yi Jipei suddenly proposed to remove Yi Lianshen from all his posts in the army. While everyone was looking at each other, Yi Lianshen broke in with his armed guards.

When Yi Jipei saw his son rushing in with the guards, he naturally cursed, but before he finished cursing, the guards behind Yi Lianshen had already pulled the breech of their guns.Yi Jipei himself suffered from a blood pressure problem. He rolled his eyes while cursing, convulsed his whole body, foamed at the mouth, tilted his head and had a stroke.The brigade commanders were so frightened that their faces paled, and they hurriedly helped Yi Jipei up, only to see that Yi Jipei's tongue was stiff and he couldn't speak, so he couldn't help but panic.Only Zhang Xikun, the governor of Fuzhou, was calm and calm, even scooped up a spoonful of shark's fin soup, and said slowly: "The commander-in-chief suddenly fell ill, and the incident happened suddenly. In order to stabilize the situation, I propose that the second son temporarily act as the governor. How about next?"

How dare the brigade commanders say no.Yi Lianshen immediately ordered the gate of the house to be closed, only allowed to enter but not to exit.At that time, the women in the background didn't know what was going on, and it wasn't until Yi Lianshen's guards surrounded the house like an iron bucket that they heard that the commander-in-chief was ill.In the midst of panic, there happened to be a cook in the kitchen serving the dishes. Mao Yao saw everything in the flower hall through the window glass. The aunt immediately cried and shouted to go to the front to do her best, but was stopped by Yi Lianshen's men, and Yi Lianshen ordered them to lock up all the female relatives in one place.

Now Yi Jipei's life and death are unknown, and all the female relatives are locked here, but they don't know what's going on outside.

Qin Sang didn't expect that in just one day, there would be a sudden change in his family, and he immediately fell down on the couch, staring at the young mistress in a daze.The eldest grandma's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she said, "That one of us is a useless person anyway, and now we only hope that the third brother can escape this calamity...Did the third brother come back with you?"

Qin Sang nodded, but shook his head again, the youngest mistress cried, "What kind of evil is this... How can the second brother be so confused..."

Qin Sang listened to her crying and said that the panic of being imprisoned gradually added a sense of desolation.She thought of Yi Liankai getting off the car halfway, and she didn't know whether it was happiness or worry.If it is joy, it is not counted.If it's worrying, he's already caught in the net, he might be able to escape outside, but he doesn't know who Master Yao is from, if he is also Yi Lianshen's confidant, maybe he will obey According to Yi Lianshen's order, Yi Liankai should be detained, and everything would be over.

She looked at the furnishings in the house, and remembered that when she first married into Yi's family, she felt that everything in this house was extremely luxurious, with all the expenses for food and clothing, which she had never seen before even when she came from a wealthy family.In addition, Yi Jipei is guarding one side, with great power in his hands, looking down on the left side of the river, and the local princes will not give a little face, there is really no white person in the Yi family house, and the word money and power can't be taken lightly, and the house full of gold and jade is just like that .But now seeing the house full of children and family members crying, indescribably distressed, the so-called prosperity and wealth seem like a big dream.Now brothers fight against each other, father and son turn against each other, this place has suddenly become a cage, and they are all imprisoned here.

They were locked together, and they were not allowed to enter the kitchen to deliver food and drinks, because there happened to be a cat hole left by the door of the upper room.In the past, Yi Jipei's first partner loved keeping cats. Since her death, this cat hole has not been blocked, but now it just comes in handy.Every time food or hot water is served, they are only delivered from the cave, and the patrolling horses outside don't talk to them, just like a real prison.How could the female family members of the Yi family have ever suffered such grievances? In the dead of night, everyone was crying under the electric lights. They didn't have a word to say, but it just added a kind of fear and sorrow.Fortunately, there are three or four bright and dark rooms here, with several beds and cigarette beds, and everyone just sleeps indiscriminately.Qin Sang was tired from the journey, so she huddled on the same bed with the eldest and young mistress and lay down for a while, but only fell asleep for a short while, when she heard the footsteps of patrolling horses outside the house, she woke up again.

The eldest young mistress was not asleep either, and the two of them looked at each other helplessly.At this time Xiaorong suddenly woke up from the dream, and cried with a "wow".Aunt Six hugged her, patted and coaxed her, but couldn't persuade her.Everyone in the room was woken up, and the eldest and young mistress also got up to look, and stretched out her hand to try Xiaorong's forehead, it turned out to be hot.Seeing that the child's cheeks were flushed, she said, "Could it be that he caught a cold?"

Qin Sang had learned some western first aid knowledge at school, so she felt for the child's pulse and said, "If the fever is so severe, it would be terrible if it was typhoid fever."

The young lady was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, Qin Sang went straight to the window and said loudly: "Go and tell the second young master that the fourth young lady is ill, and I need to invite the doctor."

Ma Bian outside didn't answer, and Qin Sang said angrily, "Tell Yi Lianshen that Miss Fourth is sick and it's his own sister, so he will be inhumane, and he can't watch his sister die of illness! He's already so angry to death." Yes, do you still want to force the little one to death? I know he can do such a thing, but if he doesn't kill all the women in our room, as long as one of us women is alive, he will never let him go lightly pass him!"

Everyone was taken aback by her words, especially the eldest mistress, who repeatedly tugged at her sleeves, but Qin Sang ignored her.After thinking for a moment, she turned around to scoop up cold water, wrung out a cold towel, and applied it to Xiaorong's forehead.Sixth Aunt said: "Children can't stand such cold..." Qin Sang said: "If you have a fever, you need to use cold ones, otherwise you will burn out your nerves and you will die." Then he brought a basin of warm water and asked the eldest and youngest mistress to help untie it. Xiaorong's clothes, she wiped Xiaorong's armpits and knees with warm water, only to see that Xiaorong's breathing was still short and her face was still flushed, but her temperature dropped a little.Aunt Six couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw that the plan was effective.These few people took turns to wipe the child's body, but when it was almost dawn, Xiaorong's fever was severe again.

Aunt Six was about to cry again, when suddenly the door lock slammed, and it turned out that a man with a gun was leading a doctor with a medicine box in. It was Dr. Sun who treated Yi's family every day.He often came to Yi's house, and seeing that the room was full of people, he couldn't help being shocked.When Aunt Six saw Dr. Sun, she burst into tears like she was seeing a savior, and she couldn't even speak.It was the youngest mistress who led Dr. Sun to examine Xiaorong. Dr. Sun sat down and took his pulse while Ma Bian stood by the door. The sixth aunt just wiped away her tears. The eldest mistress didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at Sun with a sad face. doctor.

Dr. Sun finished his pulse and wanted to write a prescription.Originally, Yi's family always prepared pens and ink when seeing a doctor, but there was none in this room, so Qin Sang said to the Ma Bian, "Excuse me, you can take Mr. Sun out to write a prescription." She was about to knock on the door to tell her companions outside, but as soon as she turned around, Qin Sang had already picked up the small mahogany square stool next to her and smashed it hard on his head.The horse was caught off guard, snorted and collapsed on the ground.

This happened suddenly, all the women in the room were stunned, Dr. Sun was even more dumbfounded, only Qin Sang remained calm, quickly untied the spear from Ma Bian's back, and said loudly: "Dr. Sun, please take a look for me too Well, I had a headache last night, please take a pulse for me." Then he said, and motioned Dr. Sun to go inside with his eyes.

Seeing her pointing a gun at him, Dr. Sun had no choice but to retreat into the room. Qin Sang forced him with a gun and made a "silence" gesture to everyone in the room. The eldest and young mistress covered her mouth with her hand The sixth aunt held Xiaorong in her arms and looked at her in horror. The aunts' eyes widened and they dared not make a sound.

As soon as Qin Sang entered the room, she said to Dr. Sun: "Mr. Sun, please take off your clothes."

Dr. Sun was so frightened that his whole body was like sifting chaff, his teeth chattered, and he couldn't even utter a word: "Three... three... young lady... grandma... this... this can make... can't make..."

Qin Sang was surprisingly calm: "I'm just using your clothes to do me any favors. It's my business whether I can get out of this courtyard, and I won't implicate you sir."

Only then did Dr. Sun realize that he was thinking wrongly, and trembling, he quickly unbuttoned the robe and gave her the robe.At this time, the youngest mistress also came in, seeing the situation, she was so frightened that she was dumbfounded, but Qin Sang whispered: "Sister-in-law, quickly find me a rope!" Without the rope..."

Qin Sang was quick to wit: "Quick, tear off your foot wrap."

The eldest grandma flushed with embarrassment, but she didn't say a word, she sat there three times and unwrapped the straps that bound her feet and gave them to her. Qin Sang tied Dr. Sun tightly into rice dumplings, and then took out a handkerchief Stopped his mouth and whispered to the young mistress, "Sister-in-law, give me the other foot wrap as well."

The eldest and young mistress had never shown her little feet in front of a strange man in her life. Seeing Doctor Sun staring at her with his eyes turned white, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare not to do what Qin Sang said. Remove the other foot wrap and give it to her.Qin Sang went outside, wanting to drag the Ma Bian, who had been knocked unconscious, into the back room, but her strength was limited after all, and she couldn't move a bit after dragging.At this time, the sixth aunt put Xiaorong on the bed, got up and came to help Qin Sang, the fourth aunt and fifth aunt also seemed to wake up, helping to lift and pull, it took a lot of effort , and finally got the horse into the back room.Qin Sang also took off the military uniform from Ma Bian's body, then tied him tightly with a foot wrap as usual, without raising his head, he said, "Give me a handkerchief."

Someone handed her a handkerchief, and when she saw that it was the sixth aunt, she didn't have time to think about it, and still stuffed the handkerchief into the mouth of the horse.After such a tossing, she was sweating profusely. At this moment, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and whispered: "We have to discuss it, who will go out with me first?"

Aunt Six said in a low voice: "Xiaorong is here, I can't leave. Ask the eldest young mistress to go with you."

The young lady said, "Where can I go with my little feet? Sixth Auntie will follow Third Sister, and Xiaorong will take care of me."

Qin Sang said: "Now is not the time to give way, and change will come later. Si Yiniang is the tallest and has big feet. It should be suitable to wear Dr. Sun's clothes. Si Yiniang and I will go. If we can get out, I will definitely find a way Save everyone."

The fourth aunt agreed tremblingly, and immediately the two of them changed their clothes. Qin Sang was too thin, and the military uniform looked empty, so the sixth aunt had to tighten the belt for her. Third sister, fourth aunt, be careful."

Qin Sang put the military cap on her head, and carefully hid all her hair. The fourth aunt's face was pale, but she managed to remain calm, and said, "Let's go."

Qin Sang lowered her head and knocked on the door with her gun on her back, the horse outside was about to unlock, she stepped out first, Fourth Aunt was wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket, and she pushed Dr. Sun's black wool top hat down extremely low, the horse that opened the door really didn't pay attention, He lowered his head and continued to lock the door again.Qin Sang took a peek and saw four or five sentry posts in the courtyard, all of them were standing under the window, pacing around with their guns in hand, no one noticed them.Passing through the courtyard, Qin Sang's heart was beating wildly like a drum. Normally, the distance to walk from this courtyard was only a dozen steps, but today's dozens of steps seemed to be hundreds of steps. She felt anxious , I can't wait to run out, but I still have to walk slowly. In this weather, I haven't reached the entrance of the moon cave yet, and I'm sweating again.She listened to the footsteps of the fourth aunt behind her, it was not messy, but mixed with a very light "click" sound, she thought for a long time before she realized that it was the sound of teeth chattering, and she couldn't turn her head to talk to the fourth aunt. Speaking, I can only bite the bullet and move forward.Watching helplessly as she finally came to the door of the Moon Cave, she realized that she must not be able to get out of the door. Her mind raced quickly, and she immediately decided to go to the back kitchen first.What she thought was that although the whole house was besieged, so many people had to eat, and the kitchen had to go out to buy vegetables, so there might be a chance to get out.Unexpectedly, just as they walked to the entrance of the Moon Cave, they suddenly saw a group of people coming towards them, and the leader was Yi Lianshen.There was no way to avoid it, and the fourth aunt behind her turned pale with fright, and the medicine box on her shoulder slipped to the ground with a "clang".

It was too late and then too fast, Qin Sang had already bolted the gun without thinking, but Yi Lianshen led the guards, and everyone "slammed" on the bolt and pointed at the two of them. His expression was startled at first, then gradually felt very funny, and finally he burst out laughing.

Qin Sang pointed his gun at him and glared at him.

Yi Lianshen had had enough of laughing, so he put his hands behind his back, walked slowly in front of her, and said with a smile, "Third sister...Actually, I never understood why the third son insisted on marrying you. Today I finally understand." , It turns out that you are really... Interesting! Interesting! Very interesting!"

Qin Sang said coldly: "Believe it or not, I will shoot you to death."

However, Yi Lianshen didn't seem to see the spear in her hand, and said with a smile: "Your marksmanship was taught by Lao San, right? Lao San is terrible at everything, only his marksmanship is passable. Sister, you have learned a bit from him." He pointed to himself and said, "I'm standing here, I can't hit you, as long as you dare to shoot, these people are all my personal guards. All of you are sharpshooters, they never fail to shoot, more than 20 guns are pointed at you, as long as you dare to pull the trigger, I guarantee that your beautiful face will immediately become a hornet's nest. I don't recognize you."

Qin Sang bit her lower lip fiercely and said nothing, while the fourth aunt behind her was already sobbing softly.Seeing that Qin Sang's face was pale, but he didn't beg for mercy, and his hand holding the gun didn't even tremble, Yi Lianshen couldn't help but find it even more interesting, and said with a smile, "Third sister, how did you and Fourth aunt get out of the house?" I guess, you knocked Dr. Sun and the soldier unconscious... Tsk tsk... This move is really beautiful, so beautiful. Lure the enemy to go deep, cheat the enemy, and hide the truth. The next step, you should flaunt the golden cicadas out of their shells Third sister, among the women I have ever seen, you are the most capable, the most courageous, and the most courageous and resourceful. I really underestimated you before, and underestimated the women in that room."

Qin Sang said: "Do you think I dare not shoot? Do you think you are absolutely sure today? Lan Po didn't come back with me. As long as he is still outside, don't try to cover the sky with one hand!"

She was just cheating. If Yi Lianshen had already detained Yi Liankai on the way, it would be unthinkable... Unexpectedly, Yi Lianshen's face changed slightly, and he smiled immediately: "Third sister is really sharp." You are sharp-mouthed, but although my third younger brother has slipped away, but you are here, third younger sister, I'm not afraid that he won't come back."

Qin Sang's heart turned sharply. He neither understood the meaning of his words nor guessed the authenticity of his words. He was in doubt, but Yi Lianshen smiled and said, "Third sister, you'd better put down the gun first, it won't work. Hurt yourself, how can I explain to my third brother?"

Qin Sang said coldly: "It's not difficult for me to put down the gun, you have to let me meet the commander."

Yi Lianshen said: "My lord father is sick, so he won't see you."

Qin Sang said: "Don't lie, I know my father is dead."

Yi Lianshen smiled and said, "Third sister, don't try to trick me. It's useless for you to know. You can't walk around this courtyard. I advise you to go back to the house obediently and wait for my third brother to come back."

Qin Sang sighed, and said: "Second brother, you also know how Lan Po treats me, and I don't expect him to care about the relationship between husband and wife. What happened today is all my fault, I act rashly, and I am alone The idea of ​​forcing the fourth aunt to stay with me actually has nothing to do with her. The second brother should not blame others. The fourth sister is really sick, so the second brother doesn't care about anything else, it is always for the sake of the family. Let the doctor take good care of Simei. The only girl in the family is Simei, and she is still young. Second brother should only take pity on her, and she is always your own sister."

Seeing that she was subdued, Yi Lianshen couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry about that, I won't be really mad at the old ones, and then drive the young ones to death."

Qin Sang heard him say the words that she squeezed against him, she couldn't help worrying in her heart, she said these words just as a way to provoke her, now seeing him smiling and looking at her, she didn't seem to be sullen, so she smiled sweetly: "Second brother There are a lot of adults, so naturally they don’t have the same knowledge as a woman like me.”

Yi Lianshen said: "You are such a powerful woman, I have never seen a second one in my life."

Qin Sang said: "No matter how powerful I am, it's only because I am fierce and soft-hearted. I don't want to let my second brother get angry. What's more, the people under my second brother pointed more than twenty guns at me. If I dare to act rashly, I will be beaten into a hornet's nest immediately. To be honest, I was actually terrified."

Yi Lianshen chuckled and said, "Third sister, why did the third child marry such a treasure as you? It's really pitiful to pretend to be pitiful, but when you're bold, you're not even afraid of murder and arson."

Qin Sang was annoyed, but said with a smile: "Second brother is overrated. If I wasn't afraid, I wouldn't have made such a move. In fact, second brother is the real hero. He is willing to stand in front of the barrel of this gun and tell me In this half hour."

Yi Lianshen smiled and said: "Come on, put away your guns, wielding knives and guns is really not something women should do. Don't scare the aunts, sister-in-law and fourth sister when you turn around."

Qin Sang heard the threat in his words, but all the women in the house were still in his hands, and besides, she was surrounded, and all the guns were pointing at herself and the fourth concubine, there was really no chance of luck, so she had to shoot The gun dropped.The attendants at the side approached slowly with their guns in hand, handed over the spear in her hand, and then Yi Lianshen said, "Send Third Young Mistress and Fourth Aunt to their rooms first..." He smiled again, "Today at noon, I Set up a banquet to clean up the dust for the third sister."

Qin Sang didn't know what his plan was, and he was terrified, but now that he was in prison, people were using swords and me as fish and meat, so he could only be blocked by soldiers and covered up by water.She simply said generously: "Then thank you, second brother."

The two of them were still sent back to the upper room. When Aunt Six saw them being escorted back by guards armed with guns and ammunition, You Qi was so frightened that she almost fainted.Yi Lianshen walked to the inner room, saw Dr. Sun and the horse-bian were tightly bound and fell asleep on the ground, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.The Ma Bian was still in a coma, Dr. Sun rolled his eyes when he saw Yi Lianshen coming in, but his mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief and he couldn't speak.Yi Lianshen personally stepped forward to untie Dr. Sun, and said, "Mr. Sun is frightened... my three younger siblings are just too naughty and frightened you, Dr. Sun. I will ask her to make amends to you later. Sister She is very ill. Great, I also ask Mr. Sun to stay in the humble house for a few more days, and go home after she recovers."

Dr. Sun was loosened, his hands and feet were numb, and he was supported by Yi Lianshen's guards to stand up, with a half smile on his face, and he didn't know if he really believed what he said.Yi Lianshen, however, was extremely polite, and ordered someone to fetch pens and ink, and asked him to write a prescription for Xiaorong, and then he ordered someone to send Dr. Sun to the backyard to be resettled.It was only then that Qin Sang realized that the mansion could only be entered but not exited, even if the doctor entered, he could not leave the mansion.

As soon as Dr. Sun left, Yi Lianshen ordered someone to drag the tied horse out and poured a bucket of well water.Ma Bian slowly regained consciousness, seeing himself lying on the ground tightly bound, weeping and whimpering loudly, he didn't know whether he was begging for mercy or what he was talking about.Yi Lianshen said slowly, "I've been with me for so long, but I can't even look down on a bunch of women and children. What's the use of keeping a trash like you! Come on..." As soon as he said "Come on", there was a wave behind him. The guard stepped forward two steps, pulled the bolt of the gun, and shot "bang bang" several times, killing the horse.

The women in the whole room were frightened, the eldest and young mistress covered her eyes and did not dare to look, the sixth aunt did not cry, but trembled all over her body, and the other concubines were even more frightened and stood still in place.Only Qin Sang clenched her fist tightly, watching the blood meandering across the square bricks on the ground, and slowly flowing down to her feet.She didn't move, as if she was also frightened.

Yi Lian Shen ordered someone to drag the corpse out, and then washed the floor with water. In just a short while, the room was completely wiped clean, as if nothing had happened just now, but after wiping repeatedly, it was still indistinct. There was a smell of blood on the ground.Yi Lianshen didn't stop there any longer, he just turned his head and smiled at Qin Sang, and said, "Third sister, don't forget the luncheon feast, and I'll send someone to invite you when the time comes."

There was no sound in the room, and everyone was like a stone statue.He walked for a long time, and the eldest and youngest mistress finally couldn't bear it, rushed to the spittoon, and vomited "wow".The fourth aunt went limp all over, foaming at the mouth and collapsed on the ground. No matter how much the sixth aunt pulled her, she couldn't get up, as if she had softened into a puddle of mud.The aunts and wives were frightened out of their wits, Qin Sang thought, they no longer had the courage to find a way to escape with her.When something like this happened, Yi Lianshen would definitely step up his guard, and he would never have a chance to escape.In the past, he didn't take these women seriously, and he expected that they would not be able to make any troubles, so the guards were actually not strict, and now there is no chance.She also thought of his so-called dust-cleaning banquet at noon, it must be a grand banquet, this casual dinner may be the last meal in her life, who knows?He killed that Ma Bian in front of them, it was like killing a chicken for monkeys to see, but she would not be frightened, she had seen dead people several times, once was Adjutant Song, and once was just now.She is not afraid now, although she is here alone, but she can always think of a way.Deng Yulin used to always say that she was cowardly, but she actually knew that her cowardice was because of her parents and family, and because of Li Wangping, she was always worried about hurting others.But now that she has nothing, she is not afraid, because she only has herself.

She calmed down strangely.

It is said to be a simple banquet, but it is actually a list of mountain delicacies, but the rice is specially served in the water pavilion in the West Garden. This is originally the place where the mansion appreciates osmanthus.This area was originally the abandoned garden of a certain prince in the former Qing Dynasty. Later, the Yi family rose up and rebuilt the pavilions. The original trees and stones were skillfully retained.It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the two golden osmanthus plants in front of the water beside the pavilion were about a hundred years old, like two giant umbrella trees, with small flowers blooming between the branches and leaves, and the fragrance was strong and fragrant.It's just that the sky was gloomy, and in the afternoon, it started to rain lightly. The drizzle hit the pool, the red fish groaned, and the residual lotus in the pool rustled, mixed with the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. I only felt the coolness of autumn. The wind gradually picked up.

Under the long window was a large Eight Immortals table, with Qin Sang and Yi Lianshen alone.Outside the long window is the lotus pond, but listening to the sound of the rain rustling on the lotus leaves, one feels a sense of melancholy.The kitchen steamed the crabs specially to suit the occasion.Yi Lianshen said: "Leave the lotus withered to listen to the sound of the rain. This is the only place in the house where you can write poems. The rest of the place is too vulgar."

Qin Sang said: "Second brother has always come to Yada, and he has read a lot of poetry and books, so he doesn't feel vulgar in food and clothing."

Yi Lianshen said with a smile, "No matter how much ecstasy soup you give me, I won't fall into your trick and let you go easily. But to be honest, your ecstasy soup is quite useful."

Seeing his frivolous tone, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a little cold, and said, "Second brother is the elder brother, why did you say such frivolous words?"

Yi Lianshen laughed and said, "I didn't say you were tricking someone, why are you so anxious?"

Qin Sang said indifferently: "Second brother, please show some respect. Although Qin Sang is only a girl, if he is forced to rush, he still has the courage to go to the clear pool. Although the pool outside is not deep, it is difficult to drown a person. But it is enough. If I die, the second brother will have one more crime. Killing the father and forcing the sister to kill the sister-in-law is really not good to hear. Does the second brother not only want to learn from Li Shimin, but also want to learn from the pre-Qing Yongzheng Emperor? Just don't forget that even if Emperor Yongzheng wrote "Da Yi Jue Mi Lu", it would be difficult to stop the mouths of the world."

Yi Lianshen laughed loudly and said, "No wonder the third child is so obsessed with you. So you are really so interesting."

Qin Sang sighed, and said: "If he was really fascinated by me, he would have come back with me a long time ago."

Yi Lianshen said: "Exactly, on a day like the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's really inappropriate for him to abandon Third Sister." He held the pot himself and poured a glass of wine for Qin Sang.This kind of wine is Fuyuan's specialty honey brew, with a fragrant aroma, poured into the white fine porcelain cup, it seems to be sweet like honey.

Qin Sang said: "Thank you second brother, I don't know how to drink."

Yi Lianshen didn't force her, just said: "The telegram said that you were on the train together, but he got off the train halfway. I have been wondering why he got off the train early. Obviously I haven't started things yet. He Is this intentional or unintentional?"

Qin Sang said: "I'm not afraid to tell you, he had an argument with me in the car, so he got out of the car in a fit of anger. To be honest, I don't know where he is at this time."

Yi Lianshen smiled and said, "I didn't ask Third Sister, but I don't really care about Third Brother's whereabouts. To be honest, I don't care about it. He has nothing to do with his bare hands."

Qin Sang nodded, and said: "Second brother, you now have the military power and your father in your hands, even if someone wants to make irresponsible remarks, you can't act rashly."

Yi Lianshen sighed, and said, "That's not necessarily true. Li Chongnian sent a telegram just now, refusing to accept me as the temporary military governor, and also said that Zhang Xikun was using his life to seize power, threatening to borrow troops from Chengzhou's Murong and his son to cross the river. I'm feeling troubled."

Qin Sang's heart couldn't help jumping, not knowing whether what he said was true or not, Yi Lianshen said again: "As for Gao Peide, I hate him even more. He just sent a telegram saying that the commander-in-chief is seriously ill and he is coming to visit him. .I allowed him to come to Fuyuan, but he asked to go south with his soldiers. On the surface, he said he was here to visit a sick man, but in fact he wanted to force the palace, and he really wanted to rebel."

Qin Sang didn't make a sound, and Yi Lianshen said, "I looked around at a loss when I drew my sword... Looking around, no one really understood me, my father couldn't understand me, and neither could anyone else. I really answered those four words, I’m lonely.”

Qin Sang said slowly: "Father has always relied heavily on Second Brother. In fact, sooner or later, Father will hand everything over to Second Brother. Why should Second Brother be in such a rush? Instead, it's useless to talk about it."

Yi Lianshen shook his head, and said, "If I don't do anything again, the third brother will clean up my belt and bones."

Qin Sang said: "He only cares about eating, drinking, and having fun. When it comes to military and political affairs, he has a headache. He will never argue with the second brother. Besides, the second brother has been my father's right-hand man for so many years. How can my father despise the second brother because of him?" .”

Yi Lianshen smiled but said nothing, just looked her up and down.Qin Sang felt terrified when he saw it, so he could only force himself to be calm, holding eight pieces of red copper that eat crabs in his hands, the small scissors were deeply embedded in the palm of his hand, and he was slightly sweating.But I heard Yi Lianshen say: "You have been married to him for two years, but you haven't realized what kind of person he is?"

Qin Sang said: "Second brother is afraid that he has misunderstood him, no matter what, he is a brother after all. He has always spoken and acted recklessly, if he makes mistakes, I hope second brother will take care of him."

Yi Lianshen laughed loudly, and said, "If what you said was just a play, it's enough. But you are willing to marry him, which is really beyond my expectation."

Qin Sang said calmly, "Second brother can speak up when he has something to say, and there is no need to sneer."

Yi Lianshen said with a smile: "It seems that you really don't know—my third younger brother was fascinated by you the moment he saw you, and he decided to send someone to propose a marriage. I politely declined. Not long after, something happened to your father's business, and he was defrauded of a large sum of money by a series of schemes. The bank collapsed, the creditors overflowed, and the house leaked when it rained all night. At this time, it happened that the land was requisitioned. As a military colony. Ling Tang was originally weak, how could he stand these things, he was so angry and anxious that he fell ill, and after a while, he passed away. Later, you dropped out of school and returned home. Forced to marry my third younger brother within a hundred days..."

Qin Sang said, "I won't believe you."

"That liar has a name and a surname, and his name is Fu Rongcai. He made a good trap and attracted your father to jump into it. This Fu Rongcai is an old scoundrel. He took my third brother five thousand oceans and made things tight. It's a pity that he died. The five thousand oceans were beaten and sunk in the Yongjiang River half a month later, and when they were picked up, their bodies were so swollen that even his family could not recognize them."

"I won't believe you."

Yi Lianshen took a small copper hammer, knocked open the crab clip, and said leisurely: "My third younger brother has always been full of thoughts since he was a child, and he is the best at calculating. Let him get away this time. To be honest, I really feel a little bit in my heart." Uneasy. Fortunately, Sanmei, you fell into my hands, such a fragrant bait, I am not afraid that he will not take the bait."

Qin Sang said: "You don't need to separate our husband and wife. I call you Second Brother to respect you and not to be afraid of you. You have come to this point by yourself, and you still want to provoke Lan Po and me..."

"He can be regarded as half your mother-killing enemy. Believe it or not is up to you." Yi Lianshen picked up the snow-white crab meat and lightly lighted it in the ginger vinegar dish, as if carelessly, "What's the use of me driving you apart, now The third child doesn’t know where he’s hiding. When you meet him in the future, you won’t really shoot him. I think you’re an interesting woman, and you shouldn’t be kept in the dark by the third child for the rest of your life—he really likes you , just like it a little dizzy."

Qin Sang said: "You're wrong. If he really cared about the couple, he wouldn't let me come back alone. If he really knew what you were going to do and got off the bus on purpose, he wouldn't let me go back to Fuyuan alone. .”

Yi Lianshen said with a smile: "Fool, it is because he likes you that he let you come back alone. Because he knows that if you come back alone, I will not do anything to you. But he wants to convince all the uncles General. Those people are easy to deal with. Besides, our brothers are involved in housework. Some people are eager to fish in troubled waters. He has no power and no soldiers of his own. Once he turns his face, those people will definitely kill him. Ask me for credit—after all, he is my brother, and it is inconvenient for me to kill him, so doing it for me is the best sign of loyalty. It’s fine for him to take such a huge risk alone, why bother dragging you... ...If he really succeeds, he can send troops to the south to besiege Fuyuan, and I dare not do anything to you, I will definitely keep you to negotiate with him. That's enough. Doesn't it mean that he likes you so much that he likes you so much?"

Qin Sang shook his head and said: "If he really likes me, he will definitely keep me by his side. I would rather die with him than that the husband and wife are birds in the same forest and fly separately when disaster strikes. Second brother, guess what? Wrong, if he wants something but can’t get it, he would rather destroy it and give it up. He let me come back alone, it’s just a smoke screen. In the eyes of you men, there is only the world, only big things, and I’m just a mere woman People are insignificant, and they won't be taken seriously. Just like you, second brother, would you give up these three thousand miles of picturesque rivers and mountains for a woman?"

Yi Lianshen was slightly taken aback by what she said, and picked up his glass to drink slowly.Qin Sang saw the drizzling rain, the pond was full of residual lotus, and the wind was passing by, sending a faint fragrance. The sweet-scented osmanthus was in full bloom, green leaves were full, golden stamens were blooming, and the fragrance seemed to eat away at the bones.The rain curtain is as light as a gauze, and it is blown misty by the wind. The trees and rocks nearby, and the pavilions and towers in the distance are all hidden in the rain and mist like a light white gauze.

After that day, Yi Lianshen seemed to treat her differently, and he always invited her to dinner or sit down every day, and he didn't mention Yi Liankai any more during the conversation, but instead talked about poetry and songs.Yi Jipei is known as a "Confucian general", and among the tyrants of the separatist regime, he can be regarded as a scholar recognized both at home and abroad.Yi Lianyi and Yi Lianshen have invited famous teachers to teach them since they were young. Although they can't be said to have learned anything, they have a solid foundation in old learning.Although Qin Sang studied in a Western school, her enlightenment foundation was not bad when she was young. Although she can't write old poems, she still knows how to criticize old poems.Yi Lianshen's poems were not bad, and he had a bit of Li Yishan's character. Qin Sang chatted with him every day, but he was secretly worried, because the mansion was forbidden to enter and leave, and he didn't know anything about the situation outside, even the people inside the mansion. The news is also isolated.But talking about it in this way is also beneficial. For example, she took the opportunity to make some requests to disperse the female family members under house arrest, because the current room is too small, and everyone is crowded together, so they can't eat well or sleep well.The fourth aunt suffered a further illness that day, and when she saw a soldier, she trembled and frothed in fright, so it was extremely inconvenient to ask the doctor for medicine.Yi Lianshen could always agree to such a request, but she asked several times to see his second sister-in-law, but Yi Lianshen always refused.

If Yi Jipei was still alive, he might still be looking forward to the final change in the matter, but stroke is a very dangerous disease, so I don't know what the situation is.She seldom thought of Yi Liankai, and when she thought of it, it was only a flash in her mind. Over the years, she had only seen him eating, drinking and having fun, but had never seen him do anything serious. He said that he was actually going to instigate the six armies to besiege the city...; if Yi Lianshen was just talking nonsense, he just didn't know where Yi Liankai had been these days.

Every time she thinks of Yi Liankai, she subconsciously refuses to think about it. She didn't believe what Yi Lianshen said that day, but she planted a little doubt in her heart, like a seed, ready to move at any time. Can break ground.She knew in her heart that Yi Lianshen didn't have good intentions, and those words were [-]% likely to be false, but if Yi Lianshen used this trick, she would still be fooled, because she really didn't like Yi Liankai.

She was forced to marry Yi Liankai after a great change in her family. Life after marriage was like a pool of stagnant water, but she was a fish short of water, and her hard work was in vain.Especially when Yi Liankai treated her so badly, he was moody and could turn his face at any time.He was too difficult to please, or she hadn't tried to please him intentionally, but even if she was asked to please him intentionally, she still felt unable to do so.Yi Liankai was like the sky in June, sometimes cloudy, sometimes sunny, sometimes thunderous, and sometimes cloudy and foggy.It was too difficult to figure out, and she was not willing to figure out his preferences from the bottom of her heart.

She even felt that even Yi Lianshen was easier to deal with than Yi Liankai. Although Yi Lianshen was ruthless and murderous once he turned his back on him, he had a gentle appearance. As long as he didn't provoke him completely, he would always be A polite look.He usually talks about poetry and odes like an ordinary son of an aristocratic family, if Qin Sang hadn't watched him order the killing that day with his own eyes, he would have been fooled by him.However, he chatted with himself every day, but he couldn't figure out what the deeper intentions were.But being able to go out for a walk every day and not being imprisoned in a small room is considered a blessing in misfortune.

She is still living in the same room with the youngest mistress, and the youngest mistress is worried every day, because she doesn't know Yi Lianyi's current situation.But fortunately, Yi Lianyi was lying paralyzed on the bed, and Yi Lianshen didn't take him seriously, probably only under house arrest.Such a day-to-day delay, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.The huge Yi's house is like an ancient well with no waves, and even the slightest echo of the outside world can't be heard.Although Qin Sang could see Yi Lianshen almost every day, she couldn't find out any news, let alone how the current situation was changing outside.

It was just dawn, and Qin Sang was suddenly awakened by a loud and dull sound. Seeing her sitting up suddenly, the eldest young mistress couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"Listen, what's that sound?"

After hearing this, the eldest young lady said, "It seems to be thundering... In this autumn, there should be no thunder..."

Qin Sang suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "The sound of the cannon, it's the sound of the cannon!"

The eldest young mistress was still confused, and said, "It's all right, why did you start shooting?"

Qin Sang said: "It's a war, so there's the sound of cannons. It must be outside the city so close. It's a war. There are cannons outside the city, and we're surrounded."

The eldest young mistress said "Oh" and said, "Then who is fighting with whom? Why are we surrounded? What can we do?"

Qin Sang murmured: "I don't know...Maybe it's Li Chongnian, maybe it's Meng Shuai who led the troops south..." She even thought it might be Yi Liankai.

But no matter who it is, I'm afraid Yi Lianshen will finally face the soldiers approaching the city. Although Fuyuan is an important garrison town and the provincial capital of Fuzhou, the sound of cannons rang out outside the city in just half a month. Soldiers are extremely fast.

Qin Sang thought, some people in Jiangzuo rebelled, and some people were not convinced, so they rebelled.Yi Lianshen was too young, he had only been in the army for a few years, and Yi Jipei had his own confidants, as for the brigade commanders and division commanders below, they all had their own ideas, and each had their own little calculations.Just like Li Chongnian, who blatantly sent a telegram to the whole country to express that he would borrow troops to cross the river, just like Gao Peide, who blatantly led troops southward, and Fu Yuan may not be impenetrable, now that the artillery is roaring, it is already besieging the city.

This battle didn't seem to last long, because Fu Yuan City was notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the battle only lasted for half a day, and the artillery fire outside the city was heard gradually thinning out.The young mistress was in a hurry, but she couldn't even get out of the room, so she was just anxious in vain.Qin Sang saw a chatterbox on the side cabinet, and suddenly had an idea. She thought that she hadn't noticed it for so many days. The chatterbox can listen to Chinese and foreign broadcasts. If she can hear the broadcast, she will naturally know the news outside. It's downright stupid.

Fortunately, it was not too late, Qin Sang took off the chatterbox, wrapped it in the quilt, boldly tuned the channel quietly, and finally found a foreign broadcasting station, which spoke English, Qin Sang struggled to hear it, and then Not daring to lift the quilt to listen carefully, so I could only put my ear on it, and finally heard a sentence.It turned out that Murong Chen, the patrol envoy of Chengzhou, claimed to "aid the South" ten days ago, mobilized a large army to cross Fengming Pass, and sent troops south through Jeju to confront Gao Peide across the river.Although Gao Peide did not obey Yi Lianshen, he still bit the bullet and did not retreat, sticking to the Yongjiang natural moat.The two armies exchanged fire a few times for a short time, but the outcome was not decided. But at this time, Li Chongnian took the opportunity to declare the independence of Yizhou, and immediately dispatched troops eastward to Fuzhou. In addition, Wangzhou and Yunzhou were all electrified and independent, responding to Li Chongnian.When Li Chongnian arrived at Fangjiadian, he recruited Yi Liankai as the commander of the so-called coalition forces, claiming to rescue Yi Jipei, saying that Yi Lianshen was a mutiny and intended to kill his father.Chinese and foreign media have disputes about this. Some people say that this is just the Yi family's housework. Some people say that Yi Jipei is dead.

The eldest grandma saw Qin Sang's dignified obedient box, but the words in it were all in foreign language, which she couldn't understand.The youngest mistress was anxious, but she didn't dare to interrupt her. Finally, Qin Sang closed the chatter box and put it back carefully. Then the youngest mistress asked, "How is it? Who is calling?"

Qin Sang said, "It's the coalition forces coming."

"Alliance? Whose army is the allied army?" After all, the eldest young lady didn't know what to do, and asked, "Is the allied army bad guys? Who is their commander in chief?"

Qin Sang didn't say a word, thinking that although Yi Liankai was the commander in name, this was obviously Li Chongnian's team, and in this fight between brothers, at the end of the day, he still didn't know who would win.Even if the coalition forces win in the end, Li Chongnian is not a good character, I'm afraid Yi Liankai is just making wedding clothes for others.Once they win, Yi Liankai will be a pawn in the way, and Li Chongnian will definitely cross the river and tear down the bridge; if the coalition loses, Li Chongnian will naturally not keep Yi Liankai, maybe he will kill him immediately in order to negotiate with Yi Lianshen.Thinking about it this way, regardless of whether he wins or loses, Yi Liankai's situation is extremely dangerous, Qin Sang couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Seeing her sigh, the eldest young mistress only said that she was worried, but instead came to comfort her.It's just that the youngest mistress doesn't know anything about the current situation and the world outside, so she can only persuade her in general, and it doesn't make her feel the slightest sense of relief.

Probably because of the war that day, Yi Lianshen did not appear as usual.Qin Sang was worried for days, but now he was tired and tired, and fell asleep on the bed.She slept very lightly, and woke up after a short sleep. When she woke up, she saw the young lady kneeling in front of the window, chanting reverently.

"Sister-in-law."

The eldest mistress has small feet, and it is very inconvenient to stand up. Qin Sang helped her, and the eldest mistress said with a sad face, "Oh, after all, the second brother is one of my own. Wars are never a good thing, especially when people come to our door." Then he asked Qin Sang, "Do you think the second brother can win this battle?"

Qin Sang said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about it. Whether the second brother wins or not is his business. Even if we are worried, what's the use of it?"

The young lady said: "It's a family after all. The old man doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. If the second brother really loses this battle, the family will be broken up."

Qin Sang sighed lightly, thinking fortunately, it's a good thing she didn't tell her about Yi Liankai, if she knew, she would definitely think that the two brothers still have something to fight.This eldest young mistress still has the old-fashioned way of thinking, but the old-style way of thinking is also beneficial, just like the less knowledge, the more happiness.

In the dead of night, Qin Sang also thought about who was he hoping to win this battle?If Yi Lianshen won, maybe he would never see Yi Liankai again in this life.Because she is a pawn in Yi Lianshen's hands right now, once she loses the value of using it, it's hard to say what will happen to her.What if Yi Liankai wins?Are you just going back to your old life?In fact, she didn't miss her previous life.Only for a moment did she think of Li Wangping, but Li Wangping was already dead. In her heart, Li Wangping was already dead from the time he said those words to her, and it was Pan Jianchi who lived, a man she didn't Just strangers I know.

Qin Sang felt that the days of the war were no different from the usual days, probably because she was locked in the house and could only hear the sound of cannons outside.Except that Yi Lianshen seldom had time to chat with her now, everything else seemed to have not changed in any way.Days are like a river in deep winter, the river has been frozen and snowed for a long time, and the water is deeply sealed under the ice, flowing forward slowly and silently.And what the future will look like, no one knows.

The only unexpected thing was that Qin Sang finally met the Second Young Mistress.Since the family change, the second young lady has never come out.Qin Sang was invited by the guards, only to find out that the situation of the second sister-in-law is similar to that of the family members of the family.It's just that she still lives in the original courtyard, and there are many Yi Lianshen's guards around her. They are called protection, but they are actually similar to surveillance.Seeing this situation, Qin Sang knew that he couldn't talk to her more.Moreover, the Second Young Mistress has been pregnant for five or six months, her belly is swollen and it is inconvenient for her to live, but she asked someone to prepare a large table of food, saying that Qin Sang had been back for so long and hadn't greeted her yet.The second young lady asked: "Is sister-in-law okay?" Qin Sang said: "It's okay." Then she took the initiative to say, "The aunts are all okay, the fourth sister was ill, but I heard that she has recovered in the past few days. "

The second young lady said, "That's good."

As soon as the few words were finished, the Second Young Mistress could only face Qin Sang silently, the two of them sat there to eat, and even the sound of the silver chain on the chopsticks shaking could be heard subtly.The delicacies of mountains and seas were hard to swallow, especially when in the middle of eating, a cannon shot suddenly, because it was fired very close, it shook the house as if it was shaking, and a lot of dust fell on the beams.The Second Young Mistress seemed to be taken aback by the sound of the cannon, she didn't even know that the chopsticks had fallen to the ground, she just put her hand on her abdomen in a daze.Seeing her like that, Qin Sang felt mixed emotions in her heart.

The Second Young Mistress raised her head, suddenly smiled at Qin Sang, and said, "I'm very tired, please ask Third Younger Sister to help me go upstairs to have a rest."

Upstairs was the bedroom, and it was naturally inconvenient for the guards to follow, but several maids came up and followed them all the time.The Second Young Mistress didn't say much all the way, until Qin Sang closed the door after entering the bedroom, the Second Young Mistress let out a sigh of relief and nodded slightly to Qin Sang.

Qin Sang didn't get along with the second young lady very well, because Yi Lianshen and Yi Liankai had a quarrel, and they lived separately, and the sisters-in-law only met during the holidays for a year. The second young lady obviously had something to say to her, but now There were several maids who stayed by their side every step of the way, naturally obeying Yi Lianshen's orders.Qin Sang suddenly had an idea, and asked in English in a low voice, "Second sister-in-law, what do you want to say to me?"

The Second Young Mistress is just the opposite of the Elder Young Mistress. She is a very fashionable person. Back then, the Second Young Mistress and Yi Lianshen were classmates. She was the most fashionable lady who had returned from studying abroad. She was proficient in riding and dancing and could speak English and French. .Listening to Qin Sang speaking English, her eyes seemed to light up, and she immediately told Qin Sang in English: "Persuade Peter for me. Since the accident, he has been refusing to see me. I heard that he has seen you before."

Peter is Yi Lianshen's English name. Qin Sang said in a low voice, "Second sister-in-law, you know the character of second brother better than I do. He made up his mind to do such a thing, how could he listen to my persuasion?"

The light in the eyes of the Second Young Mistress dimmed little by little, and after a while she said: "Then, can you persuade him to come and see me?"

Qin Sang thought about the relationship between their husband and wife, but it was weird for him to be an outsider to spread the word.So he was startled, and then said: "I haven't seen my second brother for several days, but if I see him again, I will try my best."

The Second Young Mistress held her hand, her fingers were slightly cool, and said to Qin Sang, "Thank you."

After eating, the Second Young Mistress personally sent Qin Sang to the gate of the yard.Qin Sang went back and told the first young mistress, but only told her that she met the second young mistress today, and didn't tell her about their private conversation.The eldest young mistress just sighed: "It's really a crime. I didn't expect it to be like this today. She doesn't know what the second brother is doing, and she can't control it. I just hope that the confused second brother will quickly understand, and what kind of coalition forces are there?" Quickly withdraw your troops."

However, the coalition forces never withdrew. After fighting for more than half a month, there was a stalemate at first, but unexpectedly the coalition forces invited foreign aid.I don't know how Yi Liankai lobbied, but Dongying Youbang took over the task of mediation quite straightforwardly.The so-called mediation is to transfer Dongying's fleet into the Yongjiang River and move westward along the river until it reaches Ji'an, Fuyuan's most important granary, and isolates Fuyuan's most important water grain road.Fu Yuan stayed in the dangerous city for more than a month, and finally got a telegram to start peace talks with China and foreign countries.

The conditions for the peace talks were extremely harsh. Qin Sang quietly listened to the English broadcast in the chatterbox. The coalition forces proposed dozens of negotiation conditions, and after listening to them, she knew that Yi Lianshen would not accept them.Sure enough, Yi Lianshen couldn't bear it and started fighting again. This time the war ended very quickly, the gunfire stopped after half a day, and soon Yi Lianshen sent someone to invite Qin Sang.

Qin Sang didn't know how the battle outside Fuyuan City was going, because apart from the inevitable rumble of cannons every day, the rest of the mansion was as quiet as before.The weather was already cold, and the eldest and youngest mistress had nothing to do, so she cut and sewed a silk cotton robe, which she said was for the old man.The eldest daughter-in-law is extremely filial, and every year she sews a new padded gown for Yi Jipei, but Yi Jipei's life and death are uncertain now, but the gown is still being made.Although Qin Sang didn't know how to make clothes, she learned how to arrange the silk cotton with her. The two of them were busy when the guard opened the lock and came in, telling Qin Sang that Yi Lianshen was welcome.

I don't know what his intention is, but I have to go.Qin Sang hadn't seen Yi Lianshen for more than half a month, because he was busy with military affairs after the war, so he probably wasn't in the mood to chat with her.Now that someone is here to invite her, I don't know if it's good or bad, but obviously, the battle situation has reached a certain state, but I don't know whether the coalition army won or the Fu army defended.

Yi Lianshen was not wearing a military uniform, but stood in the cold wind of early winter in a long robe, his eyes were clear, and he had the air of a scholar.This time, the banquet was still held in the water pavilion, but the sweet-scented osmanthus had withered early, the day lily was withered and yellow, and the sky was gloomy with lead clouds hanging down, even the pavilions in the garden seemed a little dim.Because the weather was cold, the long windows were closed, and the lotus leaves in the pond were all withered through the glass, and the westerly wind was blowing, which felt a bit bleak.Qin Sang saw that the table was covered with wine and vegetables, cups and chopsticks, so she couldn't help hesitating, Yi Lianshen said, "That time I washed the dust for Third Sister, but this time it's a farewell party for Third Sister."

Qin Sang was silent, and Yi Lianshen's tone seemed to be very relaxed: "My third younger brother is also interesting. During the peace talks, he asked me to send my father out of the city, but he didn't mention you at all. He is so awkward. I was anxious for him looking at it, and I don't know when he will take it."

Qin Sang said: "Second brother is serious. I have already said that Qin Sang is a woman, and he will never take it to heart. Why should a man worry about not having a wife? In the face of the general trend of the world, a woman is nothing."

Yi Lianshen laughed loudly and said, "It turns out that my third younger brother is really a man of great things, no matter what." Still holding the pot himself, he poured a glass for Qin Sang, and said, "Last time you didn't drink a single drop. Zhan, this time you want to give me a face."

Qin Sang said: "I don't know how to drink, please don't force me, second brother."

Yi Lianshen said: "You have to drink this glass of wine, or you have to drink it if you don't drink it." His voice was casual, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "Because this glass of wine is poisonous, and it is the favorite cyanide used by Russian spies. It is guaranteed that the entrance will be breathless, and there will be no pain."

Without thinking, Qin Sang picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, which surprised Yi Lianshen slightly.She was not good at drinking alcohol, she drank too fast and almost choked on it, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It doesn't have any peculiar smell, I don't know when I will die."

Yi Lianshen clapped his hands and laughed, "Qin Sang! Qin Sang! You're such a wonderful person, why did you marry Yi Liankai? What's wrong with the youngest son to have a wife like you."

Qin Sang said indifferently: "Second Brother is drunk, Second Sister-in-law and Second Brother Qinse get along together, Second Sister-in-law is the real virtuous wife, Second Brother must not let her down."

Yi Lianshen was still smiling slightly, but his tone became serious: "I have a word that you must remember. Yi Liankai really likes you, but you are right. When you really want to endanger your family and life, he will I won't take you seriously. You must be very careful when you are around him in the future. He is a person who is unfathomable and unfathomable. Be careful, be careful. "

Qin Sang said: "Thank you for your second brother's guidance. Qin Sang has nothing to repay for taking care of my second brother for these two months."

Yi Lianshen laughed, "I took care of you, but I didn't have any good intentions. As for repaying...that's okay."

He hit the plate with chopsticks, and chanted: "Singing about wine, how much life is like. For example, the morning dew, the past day is bitter... The moon and stars are thin, and the black magpie flies south. Three times around the tree, what branch can you rely on? The mountain is not too high , The sea never tires of being deep. The Duke of Zhou spits out his nourishment, and the world returns to his heart..." When I chanted "the black magpie flies south, circles the tree three times, what branch can I rely on", I chanted it repeatedly, as if I couldn't help but sigh.

But after reciting the last line "The world is home to one's heart", he slowly smiled, "The world is home to one's heart... The world is to one's heart..." He looked up to the sky and sighed, "Actually, what's the use of all this trouble? It's just a dream!" He brushed all the bowls and chopsticks on the table to the ground, and the guard outside the door couldn't help rushing in with his gun when he heard the sound.Seeing that the bowls and chopsticks fell to the ground, Yi Lianshen and Qin Sang were sitting there comfortably, and nothing else happened, so Fu retreated out again.

Yi Lianshen said: "Sister, I have something to entrust to you, please be sure to agree."

Qin Sang said: "Second brother, please tell me, if Qin Sang can do it, he must do his best."

Yi Lianshen said: "Your second sister-in-law doesn't know what I'm doing, she's actually quite pitiful. I've been charged with inhumanity, injustice, loyalty and filial piety, so I shouldn't implicate her. Please take care of her more in the future."

Qin Sang was taken aback, at first she thought the battle was not going well, but after hearing Yi Lianshen's words, she realized that not only was the battle not going well, but she might have been defeated.

Qin Sang said: "Second brother, don't worry, Qin Sang will do his best."

Yi Lianshen smiled and said, "If I have a girl like you, how wonderful it would be."
