Chapter 051 Grasshopper on a Rope
An Jinge gently scratched the window frame.
She knew that whenever Tian Ying'er came into the house, she would sit under the window. This was her habit. She was afraid that someone would come to catch her and would run away at any time.
No one else noticed it, but Tian Ying'er heard it immediately. She went out to relieve herself, turned around and went upstairs, and followed An Jinge.
The chains on these people were like nothing.
Because there were people arranged by He Wenzhang inside and outside the courtyard, the escort lived in the middle courtyard with peace of mind and didn't have to worry about the people in the front courtyard at all.
The presence of government officials made the prisoners more afraid than the bailiffs. They were afraid that if they offended them they would be framed and left here to die, so they were very well behaved.
Mo Beiyuan and He Wenzhang were kicked out of the study.
"How are the young lady and the child?"
"It's very good. I specially invited a midwife to come and see it. She said that she had never seen such excellent skills, whether it was for the child or the mother. She even asked who it was and insisted on asking for advice."
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Madam, if I remember correctly, she should be the daughter of General Feng, the great general who protects the country! I didn't know she also learned medical skills! She is amazing."
"Oh, her maternal grandfather is from a noble family, so she learned some things when she had nothing to do."
"Oh, yes, I forgot about this. The wife of the general is from the Huo family in Lianzhou." He Wenzhang patted his head.
"Don't worry, I've sent people ahead of you. I've also asked Jiang Yi about the cities where we'll definitely end up. I'll leave things for you in those cities. Once you leave Yanzhou and enter Lianzhou, I think you won't be afraid anymore."
"Thank you very much."
"I should thank you on behalf of the people of these cities."
"If that person comes to ask..." Mo Beiyuan was still worried.
"Never seen it?" He Wen Zhang replied.
"You can't fool her, just tell the truth, meet her, treat her to a meal, and prepare some food."
"Yes, I understand." He Wenzhang didn't know the eldest princess very well, but luckily Mo Beiyuan told him this.
Not long after, the door opened, and Feng Aoqing stuck her head out and winked at Mo Beiyuan.
Mo Beiyuan and He Wenzhang went into the house.
The two of them entered the house, and An Jinge went up to the roof without any further explanation.
Feng Aoqing held up a piece of paper in front of Mo Beiyuan: "You can definitely tell the real from the fake at a glance!"
Mo Beiyuan's heart skipped a beat. He first looked at Feng Aoqing's face, and then at the paper in her hand.
After a long while, he finally uttered, "It's so real it can be mistaken for the real thing."
"Okay! One hundred taels!" Feng Aoqing said happily.
"What... one hundred taels?" Mo Beiyuan was confused.
"Ying'er's wages! Just tell me if it's worth a hundred taels!"
"No, I don't have any money! Only you have it!"
"It's worth it. I'll pay for the wages." He Wenzhang watched the two of them talking back and forth, and quickly responded with a smile.
"She dares to ask me for money, then I can only silence her." Mo Beiyuan wanted to laugh.
"No! No! Master Mo, I don't want a penny. This job was done by the young lady, not me! I just lent a hand, I don't know anything."
Tian Ying'er knelt down and threw the pot away.
"How stingy." Feng Aoqing curled her lips.
Feng Aoqing folded the letter, put it in a brocade bag and handed it to He Wenzhang.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"You're welcome. We'll go get some rest then."
Feng Aoqing didn't say anything, she pulled Mo Beiyuan's clothes and left, and Mo Beiyuan staggered when she pulled him.
Wow, that’s really powerful.
The two returned to the hallway in front of the house, and the little girl was still there.
"We are tired and need to rest. You don't have to wait at the door."
The little girl took the order and went down.
Feng Aoqing locked the door to the hallway and took out an anti-theft lock from the space and put it on.
"What is this?"
"It's also a lock. The weapons you have here can't cut it open."
"You underestimate me, don't you?"
"I'll give it a try next time and you'll know. Even if you use all your internal energy, it may not be effective."
In Feng Aoqing's opinion, the door bolt was the most useless thing and could be opened with just a knife.
"Okay." Mo Beiyuan looked at the strange-shaped lock and held the key given by Feng Aoqing in his hand.
"When do we leave?" Feng Aoqing asked.
"It has to be midnight anyway. You go to sleep first. I'll call you later." Mo Beiyuan thought for a moment and answered.
"This time, I want half." Feng Aoqing felt that this matter needed to be made clear.
"Didn't I give you all last time?" Mo Beiyuan was about to burst out laughing.
"How dare you say that! Are you slapping me in the face? You're deliberately making me listen to you talk about this, just to point me out. You told me that the things we collected from the mountains were for the common people! If you asked me for them, how could I not give them to you?!"
"Madam, your heart is with the people. No one else would be able to do this."
"Tie your head!"
"Actually... those things are really for you. I'm letting you listen to them today, but..."
Feng Aoqing looked at him with interest, waiting to see how you would round it off.
"I want you to know that there are no secrets between us. We share honor and disgrace..."
"They should be grasshoppers on the same rope, right?" Feng Aoqing said with a smile.
Mo Beiyuan suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Today's things are my personal belongings. I give them all to you. I don't want any of them. But you have to make sure I have enough to eat."
"Okay, there's plenty of hard biscuits for the escorts."
"Instant noodles!"
Feng Aoqing smiled without saying a word, lay down on the couch, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
"Sleep on the bed!" Mo Beiyuan shouted.
"Why are you sleeping on a bed when it's so hot? People here are not afraid of the heat, so you should sleep on the bed!"
Even in summer, people here wear two layers of clothes, inner and outer clothing. It's so hot that it's almost scorching.
The couch is right under the window on the second floor, and with the evening breeze blowing through, it is actually quite comfortable.
Mo Beiyuan went to that room and took a look around. It was indeed not as cool as the flower hall, so he returned to the hall.
This time, Feng Aoqing threw the pearl flowers on her head on the small table and fell asleep at an astonishing speed.
It was too hot, so she rolled up her sleeves above her shoulders, exposing her entire arms, and pulled her skirt to her knees, revealing her snow-white, slender calves.
Mo Beiyuan blushed and quickly looked away.
But after a while, he couldn't help looking at her again.
Then he stood up and walked towards Feng Aoqing.
Her right calf was white as she lay on her side. Feng Aoqing originally had a scar the size of a copper coin on her right calf. Others didn't know about it, but he knew it.
He could finally be sure that the Feng Aoqing in front of him was not the original Feng Aoqing.
Not at all.
In the past, he would have wondered whose needle it was, but Yu had never thought about it that way.
Who uses a needle like this?! The purpose of a needle is to hide. A needle like hers that gets irritated all the time is just a sign of death...
Mo Beiyuan hurriedly spat out the unlucky word with a few "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" sounds.
Later, when she trusts herself, we can have a good chat about where she comes from.
Recently, when we were alone together, she often said, "You guys here, we'll go there..."
So, it must be from somewhere else!
He sat down on a chair beside the couch, closed his eyes and rested until midnight.
