Fengqi Jingshi

Chapter 19

The day actually passed quickly. Shu Yao did some sewing, made some food for her sister, and chatted with her sister until evening.

Early the next morning, Shu Yao woke up early according to what Shu Ya said, and planned to go to Mrs. Yu's to say good morning.

In the evening of dawn in winter, when Shu Yao and Mama Liu went out, it was still dark outside.The two walked forward with small lanterns in their hands, except for the night watchmen everywhere, they didn't meet a master.

When we arrived at the Gantang Courtyard, we could see a dim light shining through the dim windows from a distance, illuminating many figures inside.It's just that it was still quiet outside the yard, so Shu Yao felt that she had come too early.But now that we have arrived, we have to go in.

The little maid in the yard came up to meet them, took the lantern from Mama Liu's hand, and led them into the house.

Mrs. Yu's yard is very big, and there are many rooms, three bright and three dark, the bright hall in the middle is very big, enough to seat dozens of people.The room looks empty when it gets bigger, but it is not used on weekdays, only the bright and dark ones next to it are commonly used.

Entering the bright room outside, there are many people coming and going inside, but there is no human voice, obviously because they are afraid of noise.Mother Liu removed the cloak for Shu Yao, but she didn't know what to do, Xiyue came out from inside, and said with a smile:
"Second Miss came here really early, go inside, it's warm inside."

Shu Yao responded, Xiyue closed the curtain for her, and she lifted her skirt to go inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw a person standing inside, facing her with his back.That figure was clearly a man, she was startled, and glanced at Xiyue, wondering what she meant.Just as he was thinking about whether he should exit, he saw the man turn around.

A face like white jade, finely carved eyebrows and eyes, tall and tall, dressed in black.As soon as he turned around, Shu Yao felt an invisible pressure, and when he saw his eyes, that familiar feeling came.It was him, another high-ranking person in this mansion, the general of the town, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, the person who had met on the road and at the post station.

She must have been frightened, she must have been frightened, Shu Yao thought, and felt a little trembling in her heart, those eyes looked at her, and she was completely enveloped in his gaze, like the whole room Without anyone else, just the two of them.

Shu Yao lowered her head in a panic, saluted deeply, and said respectfully:
"The daughter of the people is Li Shuyao, the second daughter of Li Xiaoren, governor of Yongzhou, please greet the general!"

Shen Junzhuo lowered his head slightly to look at her, feeling a little funny in his heart, it was such a girl who peeped at him twice, and was caught by him each time, now that they met directly, she didn't look at him anymore.He has such a bad reputation, everyone in the capital is afraid to avoid him.It was rare for someone to spy on him. He thought it was a bold one, but he didn't expect it to be nothing more than that.He wanted to embarrass her, so he kept silent all the time, only looked her up and down.

With a slim figure, the black duck wears only a hosta in her hair, and two translucent earlobes with pearls the size of rice grains. She is dressed in a blue dress, and her two hands are neatly placed in front of her body. The posture of saluting is standard, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Shu Yao squatted down, unable to wait for the person opposite to speak for a long time, and the surrounding people were also silent, her heart began to beat.Candles were burning in the room, and some yellow candles were flickering. The room here was indeed much warmer than the outside room. After squatting for a while, she felt as if she was about to sweat.
