Jin Fengju was speechless. The smile on his face was uglier than crying. He coughed and nodded: "Yes... is it? Yu Jie is so brave, not bad... really... not bad..." He looked at the bowl. Snake Soup, I thought to myself, Brother Snake, Brother Snake, I am sorry for you. I originally wanted you to help me, but I didn’t expect that I would send you to the wolf’s den and cause you to die in such a humiliating way. You were buried together after your death. There is no place, oh, don’t say there is no place, isn’t it buried in our belly
"Okay, don't talk too much while eating." Fu Qiuning glanced at Yu Niang and saw that the snake soup in Jinfeng's bowl was gone, so he hesitated and said, "Do you want more? This snake soup actually tastes very good. Since I’ve even eaten mice, I don’t think I’m tired of snakes, right?”
Jin Fengju nodded his head fiercely and said, "Give me another bowl." He didn't find snake meat disgusting like many northerners. To be honest, if he had known that snake soup was so delicious, he would have eaten it long ago. . Now I think in my heart that Brother Snake would rather be buried in my five internal organs temple than satisfy the appetites of these murderers who killed him. Yin took the bowl again and started eating with Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao.
Just as she was eating happily, she heard Yu Jie say: "Grandma, Lin Sheng is waiting outside." After saying that, she heard Qiu Ning say: "Let him in." So she quickly opened the curtain and let Lin Sheng in.
"Greetings to Mr. Marquis and grandma."
Lin Sheng, like most southerners, is an exquisite and smart man. When he saw that there was snake soup in Jinfeng Ju's bowl, he knew in his heart that this dish was right for the Marquis. Sure enough, Qiu Ning smiled lightly and said: "This snake soup is very well made. It is indeed your ancestral craftsmanship. Both the Marquis and the Young Master like to eat it."
"That's my slave's honor." Lin Sheng smiled so hard that he heard Jin Fengju reward him with another five taels of silver. He was so happy that he almost didn't fly into the sky. He puffed up his chest and said happily: "Master and grandma like it." Just eat. Today, the slave was wandering around in front of and behind the house. It was also a blessing for me and grandma. At this time of year, the slave actually caught five big flower snakes. They were all very fat and tender. The slave is keeping them in the house now. Just waiting for the day when my father and grandma..."
Jin Fengju spurted out all the snake soup in his mouth before he could finish speaking. After thinking about it, Jin Ming let a total of six snakes in and asked you to clean them up in one day. How amazing is this fighting power? Jin Ming, Jin Ming, I feel guilty because of you, and I am too embarrassed to come here. Do you know that it is your master and me who are frightened now, not the women in Wanfengxuan? Damn it, your master, my heart is so scared. Jumped.
The young Marquis is the most elegant person, and he is basically insulated from inelegant words. Even if he occasionally curses a few words in his heart, he rarely uses curse words. Today, because he was too shocked, he cursed twice in his heart. This was the only time in his more than 20 years of life that he cursed.
Therefore, after the clouds and rain passed that night, I couldn't sleep. I closed my eyes and thought to myself that the snake trick had failed. What other tricks could be used to scare the people in Wanfengxuan? Just looking at the toughness of Qiu Ning and the servants around her, it seems that they can't do it without a trick. Otherwise, he suspected that even if he let two black bears in, he might be able to eat beeswax bear paws by himself the next day.
After thinking about it all night, I went to court the next day. But seeing that Jin Ming also had two dark circles under his eyes, he felt unhappy, so he sneered and said: "I was worried last night, so I didn't sleep well. Why didn't you fall asleep? Two black people with such big eyes couldn't sleep well." eye socket."
"The slave is scared." Jin Ming said with a bitter face: "Master, you don't know, when I brought the snake home the day before yesterday, my wife accidentally saw it, and she fainted from fear immediately. The slave was thinking yesterday , I wonder if Second Grandma Ning and the others would be frightened if they saw those snakes. Master, I have thought about it. This matter is my fault. I shouldn’t buy those big snakes. I should buy two snake cubs and let them go. Just go in and bluff. Grandma is a lady, and Yu Jie is also delicate and delicate, not to mention Yu Niang. I have never seen a softer and weaker woman than her... "
While Jin Ming was talking, he blamed himself, and suddenly found that something was wrong with his face, as if he had been smeared with a layer of black coal. He quickly stopped and said cautiously: "Sir, you... what's your expression? Could it be... Could it be that those snakes really frightened grandma and made her sick?"
"Are you sick from fear? You have a good idea." Because of the warm weather, Jin Fengju felt a little irritable, so he walked to the palace with Jin Ming without taking a sedan chair. Seeing that Jin Ming's face turned pale at this time, he spat and said bitterly: "I tell you the truth, the six snakes you bought were all wiped out in less than half a day. One of them turned into a snake last night. It turned into snake soup and was served on the table. I also ate two bowls. The remaining ones have been raised and may be turned into snake soup at any time as needed. You said you shouldn’t buy big snakes, but you don’t know Qiu Ning and Feng Er Jiao'er, the delicate Yu Jie in your mouth, and the soft and weak Jade Niang only complain that it is not big enough, and wish that the snake could be fatter, enough for them to eat two more meals."
"ah?"
Jin Ming was dumbfounded: "Master, no... isn't it? You... you said that Grandma Ning and the others saw the six snakes, and then... not only were they not afraid, but they even caught them and ate them? This... how is this possible? Master, Is this slave dreaming?"
"I hope you are dreaming." Jin Fengju looked up to the sky and sighed, then shook his head and said: "It's true. Qiu Ning told me that they have been eating snakes for six years. Later in the past, Wanfengxuan Grass All the snakes that appeared on the eaves of the inner house were eaten by them. Alas! It was also my fault. I threw them there that day. Who would have thought that they had no source of livelihood. As a last resort, Qiu Ning had to kill the snakes and make soup. Tonic for the two children.”
"I really... I didn't expect that Second Grandma Ning... would be such a... female... a hero among women." Jin Ming blinked his eyes and stammered. He couldn't imagine those three weak women and the bloody snake-killer in his mind. things to connect.
"Think again, what else can you do?" Jin Fengju frowned: "I don't want to let people pretend to be ghosts to scare people now. This may really scare people to death. Think about it, is there anything else that can scare people? Their?"
Jin Ming swallowed his saliva, thinking that he couldn't scare the snake, so what else could he expect? After thinking for a long time, Qiqi Ai Ai said: "How about... How about trying it with a leech? It's just that the leech really bites people and sucks blood, so I'm afraid of hurting grandma and the young master... "
Before Jin Ming could finish speaking, he was glared at by Jin Fengju and heard him snort coldly: "Do you think snakes don't bite? So what happened? Wasn't it stewed in snake soup? You put in dozens more Come on, if there is a big bowl of braised locusts on the dining table when I go there at night, you want me to stop eating for a few days, right?"
Jin Ming was stunned and said: "No... it's not that bad, right? Grandma and young master... shouldn't be so scary, right?"
Jin Fengju snorted from his nose, looked up at the sky, sighed, and said sadly: "Before this, could you have imagined that they would eat snakes? I heard that when Yu Jie found the big flower snake, his eyes turned outward. The green light makes my mouth water."
Jin Ming felt that his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground. After thinking for a long time, he said in a desperate voice: "Master, there is no other way. You can let the ghost go, as long as you don't let the slave pretend to be a ghost."
"You definitely can't do this." Jin Feng said a word to relieve Jin Ming's worries, and then heard him murmur: "What if Qiu Ning doesn't believe there are ghosts in the world and orders the servants to surround you with sticks, you I can't even run away, and if I'm beaten to death because of this, it's not unjust.'
"Master, you said... Second Grandma Ning and the others shouldn't... shouldn't eat human flesh, right?" Jin Ming's calf shivered again, and then he was kicked by his master: "What's wrong? You can't eat snake meat because of Qiu Ning." , just insult her like this, next time if I hear you, someone will sew your mouth."
"Yes, yes, my slave said the wrong thing. But, Master, who are you looking for to pretend to be this ghost?" Jin Ming lightly slapped himself on the mouth and continued to ask with a smile.
"It seems that we need to ask someone from the bodyguard team for help." Jin Fengju thought for a long time and finally decided on the candidate. The so-called bodyguards were a group of people who followed and protected him for a long time when he was an imperial envoy. Although they were not in the Duke of Jingguo's palace, they were always at the mercy of Jin Fengju. And the most important thing is that this guard team only has a hundred people, but all of them are masters who can fly over walls and fly over walls. That's why Jin Fengju decided to target them.
At that moment, Jin Ming and I discussed a few more details, and when we walked to the palace gate, we had already made a plan.
So after going to court, Jin Fengju invited a tall and thin guard named Yang Ming, who was the most skilled in light arts among the guards, to have lunch. During the dinner, he explained his plan, but Yang Ming was determined not to do so at first. of. This is no joke. You pretend to be a ghost to scare the young Marquis’s sweetheart. It’s okay if you succeed. But once you’re scared to death, will the young Marquis still think that this is his bad idea? If someone is blamed, it’s not unfair.
But how could Jin Fengju give up so easily? The usually calm and aloof man suddenly became eloquent and focused on describing the heinous atrocities committed by Fu Qiuning and his two henchmen against the invading grass snakes. After that, Yang Ming was finally persuaded by Jin Fengju: Lian Snake If you dare to kill a woman for food, you shouldn't be afraid of ghosts, right? He told himself this in his heart, and finally took on this difficult task with determination to die.
On the appointed day, before Jin Fengju returned home in the evening, he specifically met with Yang Ming and discussed the other party's dress in detail. After all, he was his beloved, so he naturally had to be more cautious. What should I do if it's too realistic and scares Qiu Ning
