Chapter 195 Giving away wine
When Ruiyang arrived at the door and saw me there, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said hesitantly, "Well, over there, it's urgent..." After that, he raised the envelope in his hand.
Tu Shanjing nodded: "Give it to me."
Ruiyang handed him the envelope. He took out two pieces of paper, one thick and one thin. He opened the thin one first, took a look at it, handed it to me and said, "This is from Wang Shiba."
I took it in a hurry. I saw that the letter first thanked me, then said that the Xiyan army was not polite. They attacked them after the New Year, and not only a lot of food and horses were confiscated, but also people were lost. They were chased for a long time before they got rid of it. Finally, he was particularly upset that the "black pig" I sent over was confiscated before he could even eat a bite.
I looked towards Tu Shanjing and saw that he was looking at the letter seriously with his brows slightly furrowed.
Presumably, the letter was given to him by Xiangliu, and it probably said the same thing. Next, he might have to transport some food, fodder, horses, weapons, medicinal materials and the like for Xiangliu and others.
He read the letter, folded it and put it in his arms, then said to Ruiyang, "Come with me to the study."
When I heard that he was indeed going to be busy again, I also knelt down and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work, I will go back first."
Hearing this, he looked at me, bit his lip, and said softly, "Then you..."
I smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry."
He sighed and replied, "Okay, let's talk about it later."
He and I left the room at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, each going about our own business.
I returned to the room, unable to sit still. After much thought, I decided to go to Tushan Hou and ask Lanxiang in Jingshi if she had heard or seen anything recently, especially anything related to Tushan Hou and Fangfeng Yiying.
When I reached the gate of the courtyard, I saw a maid with big eyes and slightly downturned mouth corners. She was wearing a lotus root powder and bean paste color silk skirt and walked towards me with a small food box in her hand. The jade bracelet on her hand made her wrist look very white.
When she saw me looking at her, she bowed and said, "Greetings, young lady."
I returned the greeting and asked, "Miss, you are polite. Forgive my poor eyesight, but what is this...?"
She answered politely, "Miss, my name is Xuan Zhou, and I am Miss Fangfeng Yiying's personal maid. My lady got some top-quality white peach wine, and because it's hot, the wine is easy to spoil, so I hurried to visit your house and specially gave it to the second young master while it's fresh. But I heard that the second young master had something to do and didn't meet him, so he sent me to bring some over for you to taste first. I heard from Madam Tushan that the second young master wanted to welcome the lady, and then we can drink to our heart's content."
I listened, took it calmly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, young lady. I am the second young master's personal maid. I have seen the young lady and her companion Miaoyun in Chenrong Mansion before."
She opened her eyes wide after hearing this, and they looked even rounder: "Miss, have you met my young lady and Miaoyun?"
I nodded, "Yes, but I didn't have the chance to meet Miss Xuan Zhou at that time. But it's not too late to meet her now. The young master is still dealing with urgent matters. I will serve him after he finishes his work. Let me give you the wine. Thank you, Miss Fang Feng, on behalf of the young master."
Xuan Zhou smiled and nodded: "Thank you, young lady. Alas, our master, from now on...when you say thank you or not, it will be too formal, right?" After saying that, she blinked meaningfully.
I narrowed my eyes and nodded, "The girl is right, I was being too formal."
She looked around and bowed again: "Since the wine has been delivered, I will not disturb you. Please report to the Second Young Master later."
I nodded: "Don't worry, young lady. I won't waste Miss Fangfeng's kindness."
I watched her walk away in small steps, and I walked into the courtyard with the food box in my hand. I walked behind the rockery and opened the food box. Inside was a round, emerald green porcelain cup with a lid on it. It smelled of alcohol and a hint of sweetness.
I silently closed the lid of the lunch box again, and when I looked up, I saw Ruofeng passing by in the yard, so I hurriedly stopped him.
Ruo Feng smiled and said, "What do you want, young lady?"
I whispered, "Send this wine secretly to Guanglin at the eldest young master's place, and tell him that I got it from Miss Fangfeng, fresh white peach wine. Miss Fangfeng wants to give the eldest young master and the second young master one portion each, so they can try it first. If they like it, she has more. Remember, don't let anyone see you on the way or when you give it to him - do you understand what I mean?"
Ruo Feng replied seriously, "I understand, young lady. I asked Guanglin to quietly put the wine in the eldest young master's bedroom. This way, even if something happens later, Guanglin won't be able to find out, so he won't be afraid. I heard that the eldest young master is restless because of house arrest these days. He will definitely drink this new thing. But... is there any poison in this wine? If it is poisonous, I'm afraid we are all responsible."
I thought about it seriously and felt that it was too late for Fang Feng Yiying to curry favor with Tu Shan Jing at this stage, so he didn't need to send poisoned wine so blatantly. So I shook my head and said, "It's not poisonous, don't be afraid! But don't rush back after you deliver it. It's best to hang around nearby and wait and see if Tu Shan Hou has any abnormalities. But don't get caught! I believe in your ability."
Ruofeng nodded, then covered the food box with his sleeve and went to his room to look for the bag.
I just sneered where I was. No matter what ingredients Fangfeng Yiying added, I would send it all to her dear Tushanhou to drink, without wasting any of it.
Just as I was feeling secretly happy, I saw Ruiyang running towards me from the direction of the study, holding a small box in his left hand and a stack of papers in his right hand.
When he saw me, he stopped in a hurry and said, "What a coincidence to meet you, young lady! Please help me and take this pile of documents to the young master's room."
I took it and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ruiyang coughed and replied, "I don't know what happened to the young master just now. He was restless and spilled the ink on half of the table. Jingui had never dealt with it before, so she just wiped it with a rag, and the velvet was all over the box. Fortunately, the young master didn't say anything. He finished writing the letter and asked me to deliver it to Young Master Chunming and went back to his room. I saw Jingui asked Sister Jingye to help her clean up. The pile of documents was originally placed on the side of the table. Jingui didn't dare to pick it up without permission. If she left it there, she was afraid that the table would be dirty again when she cleaned it up. Sister Jingye took a look at the name on the cover and said that it was probably related to what Young Master Chunming was going to do. She thought that the young master forgot to take it, so she asked me to deliver it to the young master's room first. I'm in a hurry to deliver the letter to Young Master Chunming, can you help me make this trip?"
I nodded: "Okay, go ahead and leave it to me."
He smiled gratefully and then ran to the gate of the yard.
I took the pile of documents to the door of Tu Shanjing's room. Seeing that the door was ajar, I raised my hand and knocked on it, and asked, "Young Master?"
There was no sound in the room, so I whispered, "I'm coming in," pushed the door open and stepped in.
It was very dark, and without the lights on in the room, it was too dark to see clearly.
I walked a few steps inside, and suddenly a hand stretched out from the darkness, grabbed my shoulder as fast as lightning, and pulled me in.
I let out a loud scream, and swallowed the rest half of it.
Because I smelled the familiar scent of white sandalwood, mixed with a hint of sweetness and a hint of heat, coming towards me.
A real flash of lightning flashed outside, instantly illuminating Tu Shanjing's red eyes.
At that moment, I saw an aggressive side of him that I had never seen before.
The rumble of thunder drowned out my heartbeat.
His palms were unusually warm, tightly gripping my shoulders. His breathing was also heavy, as if he was trying to suppress something but couldn't.
"Sir? What's wrong with you?"
Tu Shanjing pretended not to hear me. He exerted force with his hands and pushed me to the wall. His hot breath with a fragrance came towards me.
I was startled and dodged to the side with my head tilted.
He raised his hands and held my face.
I turned around and tried to run to the side, but he grabbed my wrist and caught me again.
He leaned forward and I leaned back, and actually broke the window behind me.
What I saw was a dark sky, as gloomy as evening.
A drop of rain fell on my face.
The document had already fallen during the struggle, and was then blown all over the floor by the raging wind that broke into the house.
PS The author mumbled: Listening to "Café Noir 2002" and "Straight to number one" as I prepared to get on the highway (maybe the speed limit would be lowered), who would listen to foreign songs and write ancient Chinese? Split or I split. I quickly listened to "A Glimpse of the Past" to pull myself back~
