Chapter 42 The Door
In the afternoon, a gallant horse rides away from the dust, raising yellow sand and dust.
The man on the horse, dressed in the soft armor uniform of the Beiya Forbidden Army, tightened the reins in front of the gate of Jiang's residence, got off his horse, and strode inward.
There was no one to stop him along the way, and even sharp-eyed servants led the way to Yushuyuan.
"Cousin Yuan!"
Hearing the call, Jiang Yuan trembled all over, and raised her eyes to look outside the door.
Under the sun, Ye Chengru hurriedly stepped in, the two looked at each other, and Jiang Yuan burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid! That old witch, I've already had someone arrest her. If it's really Jiang Nan who's playing tricks behind her back, I'll definitely skin her!" Ye Chengru knelt down.
Jiang Yuan was lying on the bed with a dazed expression. He hadn't seen her in just two days, and his little face lost weight. He wanted to reach out to hold Jiang Yuan's hand in distress, but after thinking about it, he shrank back.
The two stopped at the ceremony, Ye Chengru hesitated a few times, but couldn't hold back, and stretched out his index finger to wipe away the tears from Jiang Yuan's face.
"Cousin, I'm really fed up! You know, she beats me up. Once she comes back, I'm sure nothing will happen. You can find a way to make her disappear before my eyes, can you?"
Facing Jiang Yuan's tearful pleading, Ye Chengru couldn't refuse, and nodded in response: "Okay! I'll do it!"
In the evening, the clouds are floating, and the stars are dotted.
A small group of Beiya imperial guards ran around in the alley, and the house of Goddess Zhang was turned upside down, but nothing was found.
"Captain Ye, Goddess Zhang was not found!"
"go back!"
The Beiya imperial guards came and went in a hurry, but it caused the nearby people to wait and see, with lingering fear.
"Witch Zhang has done too many wicked things, I'm afraid she won't be kind this time!"
"She's a cunning rabbit, she's been doing this job for a long time! I'm afraid she has escaped from the imperial capital at this moment!"
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and a woman with a disfigured appearance hid in it without saying a word. After the imperial army finished walking, she turned and left silently.
In the small courtyard of Yuhua Lane, lanterns are hung high, and the smoke from the back kitchen is lingering.
Someone knocked lightly on the door.
"Coming!" Jiang Nan responded, and walked out of the back kitchen, wiping her wet hands on her apron, opened the door and saw an old woman with a disfigured appearance.
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, looked at her carefully, and thought about it.
"Ma'am, you won't miss me, right?" The old woman tore off the scars on her face, revealing the face of a witch.
Jiang Nan's face was solemn, without saying a word, he opened the door to welcome people in.
"I can't wait two days. I have to leave Beijing immediately. I need antidote and money today!" Goddess Zhang said coldly, there was almost no room for negotiation.
"What I'm giving you isn't poison at all, it's health pills, one pill a day, to cleanse the intestines, and I'll give you all of it!" Jiang Nan threw a bottle of medicine over there.
Goddess Zhang caught it, her face was full of astonishment, and she said angrily: "Are you kidding me?! Believe it or not, I will report you right now!"
Jiang Nan grinned: "Threat me? Do you think I will be afraid?"
Goddess Zhang simply smashed the pot and said, "Now the Beiya imperial guards are looking for me all over the street. If I get caught, aren't you afraid?"
"Speak up, you are still a psychic witch! Even if you are caught, I will save you, and your former employers will save you if you are afraid that you will not be able to bear the punishment! Everyone is friendly and handles things well. There is no guarantee that we will not cooperate again in the future!"
"..." Goddess Zhang remained silent. After decades of wandering in the rivers and lakes, she let a little girl hold the gate of her life. She looked at Jiang Nan with timidity.
"You are just asking for money, go out for a while, and when the limelight passes, you can go back to Beijing and continue to deceive! But if you go and report on me, not only will the signboard be smashed, but you will not be able to live!" Jiang Nan slapped her and fed again a candy.
When the words fell, Jiang Nan opened the door and issued an order to evict the guests: "I've already collected the money, you come to pick it up tomorrow morning!"
What else can Goddess Zhang say, she can only leave obediently.
A burning smell came from the back kitchen. Jiang Nan sniffed her nose and shouted loudly: "Sheng Ning, what are you doing in there? Something is burnt!"
"How would I know? I haven't done any of this! I'm exhausted!"
Sheng Ning, who was burning the fire, raised her face in disgrace. Seeing Jiang Nan rushed in to clean up, she threw away the wooden stick in her hand, fetched a basin of water, and wiped the stains on her face.
"Hey, look at my face, how can I use beauty tricks? I leave the kitchen to you, I'll go wash it up!" Sheng Ning said, leaving the back kitchen.
Jiang Nan was so busy all by herself that she didn't even notice when there was someone standing by the door frame.
I didn't see it until the dishes were cooked and ready to be served.
"Brother Ling Yang? Why are you standing here?" Jiang Nan asked in amazement.
"Seeing the smoke coming out of your house, I knew you must be back!" Cheng Lingyang took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and asked with a smile, "It smells so good? I just got off duty and haven't eaten yet." , do you have my share?"
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment in embarrassment, and then asked with a smile: "Do you have any money? This meal is very expensive!"
"How expensive?" Cheng Lingyang raised his eyebrows, unable to hide his surprise.
"mother!"
Jiang Nan was about to answer Cheng Lingyang, when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and saw that Xie Yun was standing in the yard holding Xie Shu. He didn't know how long he had been here. Xie Shu was full of joy and rushed towards Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan hurriedly put down the vegetables in her hand, bent down to catch Xie Shu, hugged her in her arms, and stared through the night, falling on Xie Yun's face.
The distance is not too close, and the light in the yard is not good, so it is difficult to see the expression on his face clearly.
"Mother, I miss you so much!" Xie Shu hugged Jiang Nan tightly and didn't let go. Someone rubbed the top of his head. He looked up at the man angrily, and said angrily, "Who are you? Why are you touching me?" ?”
Jiang Nan let go of Xie Shu, and reprimanded: "It's impolite, this is Uncle Ling Yang."
Xie Shu was stunned for a moment, and called out obediently: "Uncle."
He does not mean that.
Cheng Lingyang's face changed slightly, and Xie Yun in the yard turned around and left without saying a word.
"His Royal Highness, since you're here, where are you going?" Sheng Ning rushed out in time and blocked the door with his body.
The posture of blocking the door is really enchanting and charming, and the eyes are blurred, making it hard to describe.
Xie Yun was unmoved and still wanted to leave, Sheng Ning stretched out his hand, poked his index finger on Xie Yun's chest, and said angrily: "Your Highness ignores people, it's so bad!"
Xie Yun: "..."
He rolled his eyes calmly, and waved Sheng Ning away unceremoniously.
"Xiao Nanzi! Today's food is also very expensive!" Seeing that Sheng Ning couldn't stop Xie Yun, he could only call Jiang Nan loudly. At worst, each of them hugged one leg and asked him to drink that glass of medicinal wine, so he didn't even think about leaving!
Jiang Nan walked over in three steps at a time and took a look outside the courtyard, but he didn't see Zong Yue's shadow. Thinking of Goddess Zhang's threat, she had to sigh and compromised: "I don't know what kind of food His Royal Highness likes to eat, come here Check it out, if you don't like it, I'll do it again?"
