A knife in love

Chapter 281

When Murong Danyan said this, he looked at Madam Sha, Madam Sha smiled at her, and said, "My sister really has a good memory, you remember everything we said that night clearly, did you think of asking me to Do you want to tell Mr. Li exactly what happened?"

Murong Danyan blushed and said, "Mrs. Sha was joking..."

Madam Sha saw Murong Danyan's embarrassing expression, she knew that a girl's heart is shy in front of the person she likes, this joke is the best so far.Immediately, he said seriously: "Sister, although we are new friends, we hit it off very well. Don't call me Madam or not. If you can call me 'Sister', it will be my blessing. I just don't know my sister. Would you like to have a sister like me?"

Murong Danyan showed joy, and said: "When I saw you that day, I couldn't help feeling close to you. If I have a sister like you, it would be great!"

The two women were all smiling and chatting non-stop.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "When you fought with Mr. Sha that day, the first time you saw Mrs. Sha standing aside like a ghost, I was afraid that half of your soul would be scared away. How could you say 'I saw you at first glance? When I see you, I can't help feeling close to you'? Woman, what a trouble!"

Mrs. Sha talked with Murong Danyan for a long time, and then remembered that Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng were still on the side, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.Mrs. Sha said: "Sister, look at our sisters, you have forgotten the business. You should tell Mr. Li and Mr. Xiao what happened in the past few days, otherwise they may be a little anxious."

Murong Danyan stuck out his tongue, and then continued: "Mrs. Sha... no, it was my sister. After finishing speaking, the old man said: "Don't worry, eldest young lady, this old slave will go to the castle to find out about the second young master." My sister said: "Since Yiming passed away, Yilu has become the owner of the castle. His temperament is different from before. He acts more and more perversely. He thinks about strange things all day long. If the uncle sees Yilu, his words will be terrible." Don't run into him.'

"The old man said: 'Although the second young master has been busy these years, and the old people in the castle are dying and sick, he only uses the newcomers around him, and doesn't pay much attention to us old guys. But he was watched by the old slave, so he can be regarded as respectful to the old slave. If the old slave goes to the second young master, he will shut the door at worst. I think the second young master will not do anything to the old slave. If he does not see the old slave, The old slave talked to some old brothers in the castle, they must know some news.'

"After the old man finished speaking, he took his leave and went out. My sister smiled and said to me: 'This Uncle Hou is really Jiang Gui's nature, old and spicy, he has found a way, and he will go all the way to the end!' I said "I admire this old gentleman's straightforward temper." My sister said while passing me tea: "Don't look at him now, he is gray-haired and old-fashioned. Back then, he was brought by my old man and father-in-law. He was a hero who climbed out of the dead when he fought in a war. He saved the lives of my old man and father-in-law. In the entire castle, how could anyone dare to treat this old man as a servant? It's just that Sha Yilu is arrogant. Don't take it seriously. Alas.'

"The more I listened, the more confused I became. I didn't know what was going on in this castle. My sister saw my confusion, and said to me: 'Sister, have you heard of the name Shajiabao in Jianghu? I nodded and said, "I heard from a friend that Shajiabao is a very mysterious place in Jianghu. Master Yan Wuji is a famous swordsman in the world.'

"My sister sighed after I finished speaking, and said: 'What kind of martial arts tycoon, what is the name that shakes the world, what is the use of these false names? I hope that he is an ordinary farmer, as long as he can be safe and stay with him. Me and Yu'er.' When my sister said this, she looked sad. I saw that she was sad, but she didn't dare to ask. She was lost in thought for a moment, and then she continued: "Shajiabao's reputation is not obvious in the world. It is because although the people in the fort know martial arts, they have never had any connection with the people in the world. The ancestors of the Sha family contributed a lot to Emperor Chengzu in the battle of Jingnan and gained a lot of military merit. After Emperor Chengzu ascended the throne, in order to reward their ancestors , he was not only promoted to an official position, but also conferred titles. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, not many heroes have been conferred with military merits. The tragic situation caused lingering fears in his heart, and he often said to himself that being with the king is like being with a tiger, so he felt resigned. He knew that Emperor Chengzu was mean-spirited, and he was best to be jealous. Because of the injury, he stayed at home all day to recuperate. The imperial court sent an imperial doctor to see that the arrow wound on the ancestor's body during the Jingnan battle had not healed, so he reported the truth to Emperor Chengzu. Emperor Chengzu allowed the ancestor to recuperate at home. Must face up.'

"'At that time, the ancestor's sons thought that the emperor believed that the ancestor could not continue to be an official, but the ancestor said that it must not be sloppy. He did this with great secrecy. Except for a few older sons, even his wife kept in the dark.'

"'Sure enough, after the ancestor was ill for five years, the whole family was having a New Year's Eve dinner together. The ancestor pretended to be seriously ill, and was carried to the lobby on a reclining chair, where he was kowtowed and worshiped by everyone in the family. At that time, the ancestor was covered with a thick quilt, coughing continuously, and the grandchildren, younger brothers, daughters, and servants of the family came forward to kowtow for the ancestor one by one. The ancestor was huddled in the quilt, and he couldn't even speak clearly. The ancestor's eldest son had to replace him to give everyone the annual gift silver. After the children of the family kowtowed, the servants came to kowtow for the old man. When everyone kowtowed, the last servant was left. He was standing in the lobby, and did not kneel down to the old man.'

"'This servant came to Sha Mansion five years ago and served as a servant who planted flowers and grass in the mansion. His monthly salary was seven qian. After arriving in the mansion, he was taciturn. He only played with flowers and plants on weekdays. He never attracted attention. He was a very ordinary servant. That day, everyone in the mansion kowtowed to the old man, but this man finally stood in the lobby brazenly During the meeting, he neither saluted Mrs. Sha, let alone kneeled and kowtowed to the old man. At that time, everyone was amazed. Furious, he hurried forward, wanting to kowtow to the old man by pressing the servant's head.'

"'Unexpectedly, with a light wave of the man's right hand, the big butler fell into the yard. There was a crackling sound, and many flower pots were crushed, and he couldn't get up for a while. There was chaos in the hall, Several old servants of the family stepped forward and surrounded the man. It should be noted that the old man won the title by virtue of his military exploits, which was earned on the battlefield. These old servants were his own soldiers back then, and all of them had He is skilled in martial arts. Seeing the servant throwing the butler out of the door with his hands and feet raised, his arm strength is really not small. In the battle of Jing Nan, the old master killed countless enemy soldiers and generals on the battlefield. At that time, King Yan had suppressed bandits around Beiping. Whether it was in the court or in the rivers and lakes, there were many Qiu family members. These old servants thought that the man was an assassin sent by the Qiu family to assassinate the old man. They were afraid that he would hurt the old man. He rushed forward and surrounded the man.'

"'The man didn't panic, he cupped his hands at the old man, and said: 'Lord Sha, don't panic, the next official didn't come to embarrass Lord Sha. To tell you the truth, the next official is Jin Yiwei Deputy Qianhu, who was ordered to arrive five years ago Mr. Sha's mansion is on official business. In the past five years, Mr. Sha has been unable to go to court, but he has always been loyal to the emperor, obeying the law and being cautious in everything. Today is the last day of the official's official business at Mr. Sha's mansion. , Mrs. Sha, and the young masters have been together for five years, and I have taken care of you. I am very grateful. When I parted, I thought it would be better to meet Mr. Sha openly and honestly, so I came here specially to Mr. Sha, Mrs. Sha, Mrs. Sha, Farewell, gentlemen.'"

Murong Danyan quoted Mrs. Sha's words up to this point, Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Unexpectedly, this Jin Yiwei is so persevering, and he was able to go undercover in a family for five years. This kind of perseverance, ordinary people don't have it."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Spying for news and lurking undercover are originally Jinyiwei's forte. This is the first time Brother Xiao heard about such a thing, and he thought it was a great act. People who have been undercover as slaves for ten or even twenty years, I am afraid they will be shocked!"
