After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 215
It was getting late, and the candles in the house were not bright, Ruan Yuyi was afraid of hurting her eyes, so she wanted to make a speech.

Ah Qing sent her out of the room, and because of Lao Yu's intrusion, she specially told her, "Girl, no matter what you hear at night, don't open the door, it just rings, you sleep with it. Get up." Be careful at night, it's best to prepare the guy to go."

She was taken aback, "Why?"

Ah Qing smiled wryly, "I don't know where the refugees come from. Today they always come to the village to beg for food. Their posture looks like a robbery. It's not an exaggeration to say that locusts are passing through the border."

I didn't remind them yesterday because they locked the doors and windows.Since several houses were broken into before, none of them dared to sleep without their locks locked at night.

Those people are starving.It's not that they don't feel compassion, it's just that they are holding back food, so how can there be any surplus food for relief, but it's all for self-protection.

She pursed her lips, "Thank you girl."

Just as he was about to turn around, there was a knock on the door, again and again, deafening in the silence and darkness.The two of them looked at each other with a slight look on their faces.

Ah Qing gave some instructions in a low voice, and went to find her brother.

The knocking on the door continued, but it was not chaotic, but three light ones, very regular.Ruan Yuyi was suspicious, if they were talking about refugees, would there be such a movement?

She walked to the window, intending to open a small opening to check.

Suddenly a hand stretched out to block her, she looked along that arm, brother Ah Qing sullenly said in a low voice, "Girl, let me do it."

She hummed lightly, and took a few steps back to the side.

He poked a small hole, squinted one eye, and looked out.He was slightly stiff.

The people outside were not refugees, but a man in brocade clothes, and two or three men in green robes.The man in brocade clothes seemed to be the leader, and the person who knocked on the door turned his back on Brother Ah Qing, and whispered something to that person.

The man lowered his eyes for a moment of thought, then raised his head slightly, motioning for him to continue knocking.

When the wind and snow had subsided, Brother Ah Qing saw clearly the face of the brocade-clothed man in the dim light, with a pointed chin, slightly raised eyes, and a half-smile on his lips, as if the face was another mask.

He had seen this person, he was escorted out of the palace by several officials, and he was nodded and bowed by those officials.

Although he couldn't tell what official position this person was in, he knew that he was quite powerful.

It's just that such a person, why did he come to his backcountry?Will it be detrimental to them?In an instant, several thoughts flashed through his mind, and they were intertwined together, which made him frown even more.

He straightened up and moved away from the window, his hands still on it.He turned his head and shook his head at the two girls behind him.

Ah Qing frowned, "Not a refugee?"

At this moment, the people outside seemed to have lost their patience and did not want to observe the etiquette. Someone shouted "open the door".

Ruan Yuyi suddenly stepped forward - she recognized this voice, it was a guard beside His Majesty.

Brother Ah Qing's complexion changed, and he didn't even have time to stop him, so he had no choice but to pull her behind him in desperation.She staggered and fell into the arms of Jiang Huaiyang who heard the sound.

The old wooden door squeaked sharply, and the light from outside shone in.

The person who came was Wen Zhi, holding a candle in his hand, swaying in the wind.In fact, if he hadn't known that the two masters were inside, he might have had the door broken open, so why would the door remain.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" Elder Ah Qing stood in front, groping to grab the broom next to him.

He turned a deaf ear and saluted the person behind Brother Ah Qing, "Master, madam, the little one is late."

Brother Ah Qing's hands froze, and he just knocked the broom to the ground, making a crisp sound.He couldn't help stepping back a few steps, following Wen Zhi's gaze to look at the two behind him.

Jiang Huaiyang put his arms around her shoulders, and the two looked calm, as if they were not surprised.

"It's really late," he said softly, "You go back and receive your punishment."

Wen Zhi bowed his head in response.

This back and forth made Ah Qing and the two of them confused for a while.Especially brother Ah Qing, he had seen Wen Zhi from afar, and he was speechless for a while.

Previously, he only thought that these two were wealthy businessmen from the capital, but now that he knew the identities of these two, he would not even dare to guess.

While the master and servant were talking, he had time to look at the little lady carefully.

She was wearing a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, just standing up, she already had a great appearance.The candlelight illuminated her face, her face was whiter than frost and snow, her bright eyes and black eyebrows were dazzling.

At this moment, he seemed to be pushed to a very far side, and he also felt in a trance that the relationship between these two days was not real.

Jiang Huaiyang lowered his head and asked her, "Are you leaving?"

Ruan Yuyi saw the wind and snow outside gradually subside, and if she waited another day, she didn't know what the situation would be tomorrow.Besides, she was too embarrassed to bother the family anymore, so Yin nodded.

Several people stepped forward to leave, and a guard handed over the prepared umbrella.

Wen Zhi took a step forward, and said to Ah Qing and her brother, "Thank you for taking care of me these two days, and I will send enough rice noodles to each household soon to express my gratitude."

Seeing that several people were about to leave, Brother Ah Qing came back to his senses and called them back, "Wait a minute, these rice noodles may be life-saving items for some families in the village, and I have no right to refuse them for them.

"It's just that, for such an important matter, I have to inform the head of the village. Can you come with me?"

The group of people in front really stopped.

Wen Zhi cast a glance at Jiang Huaiyang, with a questioning expression in his eyes, seeing him nodding, he smiled at Brother Ah Qing, "Please lead the way."

Brother Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief, for some reason, he felt a sense of joy in his heart, he told Ah Qing to stay at home first and take the initiative to walk in front.The road ahead was dark, and a guard handed him a lantern to lead the way.

He hesitated for a while before taking it, and thanked him in a low voice.The lamp was in his hand, constantly swinging from side to side, it was hard to tell whether it was the tremor of the bearer's hand or the wind blowing.
.
Most people in the village do not have the conditions to light lamps all night, because most of them work at sunrise and rest at sunset.It's actually easy to find the elder's family, as long as the candlelight is still shining through the window.

Jiang Huaiyang looked around and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it for a while.It's just that the scenes in the countryside are mostly similar, so I don't think about it anymore.

Brother Ah Qing knocked on the door.

It was the village head's wife who came to answer the door. She rubbed her eyes, kicked her shoes, and glanced at the person in front of her, "It's from Zhang Yin's family. It's about this time, why—" She caught a glimpse of the crowd waiting around him, and swallowed suddenly. Back to the second half of the conversation.

"This is?"

Brother Ah Qing hurriedly explained the reason and purpose of coming here.

The Li Chang's wife opened her mouth and took in a lot of cold air. It took a long time for her to respond, "I, I'll call him, he's awake. Please hurry up."

The one leaning on the grand master's chair inside, and the one holding a long pipe, presumably must be the chief.When he heard the movement, he thought it was his wife who had come back, and said without looking back, "Come and help me get this cigarette pouch."

Brother Ah Qing showed embarrassment, he glanced at Jiang Huaiyang, but saw that his expression was normal.
