After checking the silver ticket in the package, Lin Xiaoshan frowned and said, "It's less, but the owner wants one hundred thousand taels, and...there is a shortage of women on the mountain!"
The head of the nursing home shook his head: "This is the sincerity of the Meng Mansion. It will not be more or less."
Lin Xiaoshan put away the package: "I understand, I will bring things to the heads of the house. As for what kind of decision there will be, I can't interfere."
After speaking, he straightened his body, turned up the roof, stepped on the rubble as light as a swallow, and left quickly.
The guards of Meng Mansion didn't mean to stop him, and let him leave.
The sincerity of the Meng Mansion is not small, but if Bao Tianfeng cannot be satisfied, a disaster still cannot be resolved, so the Meng Mansion's guarding force has never dared to weaken it.
And after half a month of training, Yang Kai's newly recruited nursing homes were also arranged for their own errands.
Yang Kai was looking forward to receiving the job of guarding the inner courtyard, so that he would be able to inquire about the inner courtyard openly and look for Qu Huashang's traces.
But he also knew that this idea was unrealistic. In any case, their loyalty has not been tested, and they can be assigned some tasks, but they will definitely not be placed in an important position by security.
Sure enough, the errand that Yang Kai received was to guard the courtyard as soon as he entered the courtyard. An old nursing home called Yin Zhiyong partnered with him. The other four people cooperated in three shifts every day, each of whom secretly guarded for four hours. .
The task is not light, but it is not heavy either.
After meeting each other and getting acquainted with the secret signal of the joint, Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong hid in hidden corners respectively, monitoring the Quartet, and preparing for Xiaoxiao.
Three days in a row, nothing happened.
And when he was not on duty, Yang Kai would also buy some fine wine to eat and drink with Yin Zhiyong. He is so witty, Yin Zhiyong naturally appreciates him a lot, and his attitude towards him is much more kind.
So only three days later, Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong became friends with wine and meat.
On this day, Yang Kai bought meat and wine again, and the two sat at the table skillfully, chatting while drinking.
Feeling that the time is about to come, Yang Kai pretended to be drunk and said: "Brother Yin, brother, I just arrived here. To be honest, I don't know much about Meng Mansion. You have been in the nursing home here for more than ten years. What can you mention? "
Yin Zhiyong threw a peanut in his mouth and glanced at him with a smile: "It's a lot more natural to mention you, but you won't be able to say clearly in a while. If you stay here for a few more years, you will know it by yourself. Meng Mansion is a good place. There is no danger in building a nursing home here. The rewards are also high. I don't know how many people earn their heads and want to come in every year."
Yang Kai poured him a glass of wine: "Brother Yin just talk about it casually. Let's talk one by one and listen to the other. We can't get out of this room."
Yin Zhiyong was short-mouthed, and Yang Kai had indeed respected him a lot of good things in the past few days, so after pondering for a while, he stopped to pick up some simple information and said to Yang Kai.
According to him, the Meng Mansion was founded as a salt merchant, and only later moved to other businesses. The Meng Mansion's industry spreads across the three rivers and five lakes, and it can collect hundreds of millions of silver each year.
Nowadays, the head of the Meng family, Meng Deye, is fifty years old and has more than ten wives and concubines. He has four sons and three daughters. The family business is basically in the hands of four sons. Two of the three daughters have good homes and are married. 'S people are right in line.
"Only our eldest lady has caused the Patriarch to have a terrible headache." Yin Zhiyong frowned when she spoke of the eldest lady.
Yang Kai keenly said: "What's wrong with the eldest lady?"
Suddenly Yin Zhiyong looked left and right, and was not relieved. He stood up and opened the door to make sure that there was no ear of the wall. Then he walked back and sat down and whispered to Yang Kai, "In Meng Mansion, the eldest lady's affairs are a taboo. , You must remember not to mention it at will."
Yang Kai nodded sternly: "Don't worry, Brother Yin, I'll take care of it."
Yin Zhiyong took another sip of his drink, and then said: "Our fourth and fifth young ladies in the Meng Mansion have long been married, but the eldest has always been in her boudoir, you are not surprised."
Yang Kai looked surprised: "Miss is still in her boudoir? How old is she then?"
Yin Zhiyong shook his head and said: "That's not good, but there should be twenty-six or seven."
Twenty-seven... Yang Kai moved his head slightly.
He whispered: "Could it be... the eldest lady's long face is disgusting? No one looks at it?"
Yin Zhiyong was taken aback, put a finger to his mouth, nervously looking left and right: "You don't want to live anymore? How dare you arrange the lady like this! Don't bother me if you don't want to live."
Yang Kai quickly patted his mouth.
Yin Zhiyong eased his nervousness and continued to mutter in a low voice: "Let me tell you, the eldest lady is not an abomination, but rather beautiful."
Yang Kaiqi said, "How did Brother Yin know?"
Yin Zhiyong smiled and said: "How can I say that I have also been a nursing home in Meng Mansion for more than ten years. When I first came to Meng Mansion, the eldest lady was a teenage girl. At that time, she was a beauty. Can it be worse if you are too big? Although the eldest lady has been living in the inner yard many years ago, even if she goes out occasionally, she also wears a veil and a hat, but three years ago... Yes, it was three years ago that I accidentally caught a glimpse of the eldest lady He’s beautiful, beloved, that’s a pretty one! Yin is a well-informed person, and I spent a lot of money to taste the top girl who didn’t return. It’s really good, it’s amazing, but compared to the lady. , It's not worthy to give her shoes."
Yang Kai looked disbelief: "Brother Yin is telling the truth? Why does it sound a little mysterious."
Yin Zhiyong showed a look of aftertaste and waved his hand impatiently: "Don't believe it, but it's the truth!" He seemed unwilling to say more about the appearance of the eldest lady, as if saying more is a kind of blasphemy.
Yang Kai could only take the initiative to find a topic: "It is reasonable to say that since the eldest is so beautiful, why has she been in her boudoir, is she too high-sighted?"
Yin Zhiyong shook his head and said: "Who knows, maybe. But speaking of the Meng Mansion is so rich, even if the eldest lady is really abominable, there are still people in groups to propose marriage. Moreover, when the eldest lady is and the time, the family owner is already I'm looking for candidates for her, and I have found many young handsome men in recent years, and they can be regarded as the right ones, but it's a pity that the eldest lady didn't look at any of them."
Yang Kai nodded and said, "That's because the eldest lady's vision is too high."
Yin Zhiyong chuckled and said, "According to rumors, the eldest lady once told her maidservant that the reason why she did not marry for so many years was not because she looked down on those young Toshihiko, but because she was waiting for someone with fate! Hey, What kind of shit fate, how can there be any fate."
Drinking a little too much, Yin Zhiyong began to talk nonsense, lamenting the injustice of the world, but his good skills have not been taken seriously. He has been loyal to Meng Mansion for more than ten years and is still just a nursing home.
Yang Kai had bright eyes.
This eldest lady from Meng's Mansion... is most likely Qu Huashang!
In the world of reincarnation, this Meng mansion eldest lady is already twenty-six and seventy-seven. When she was in the temple, the head of the family was looking for a candidate for her. It was almost ten years, which was equivalent to the time when Senior Sister Qu entered the reincarnation pavilion.
She has to wait for a fateful person!
Sister Qu entered the reincarnation pavilion, reincarnation here, set a heart barrier for herself, she may have lost her memory, but the heart barrier is real, and under the influence of the heart barrier, she will naturally make some adaptations The act of the heart.
I have to go to the inner courtyard and meet the Meng family eldest lady, so that we can really determine whether she is Sister Qu or not.
Just as Yang Kai was thinking, a panic shout suddenly came from somewhere in Meng's Mansion: "It's water, it's water!"
There seemed to be a ray of fire swaying outside the window.
Yang Kai was shocked, got up quickly, opened the door, turned over and jumped to the ridge, fixed his eyes, saw a fire in Meng Mansion, the whole Meng Mansion was in chaos, and a large number of servants rushed to the fire place, carrying buckets to put out the fire. .
Yin Zhiyong also came to him wrapped in alcohol, frowning, and feeling a little uneasy.
"Brother Yin..." Yang Kai turned his head to look at him.
"There is no order, don't act rashly, do your own thing!" Although Yin Zhiyong is still a little drunk, but his head is still clear. When working in a big family like Meng Mansion, the most taboo is to overstep his post when he is in a panic. His job is the best response.
Yang Kai was about to nod, and suddenly felt cold. When he turned his head and looked around, he saw a dozen heads appearing on the higher roof ridge over there.
Even at night, under the light of the fire, the cluster of arrows reflected a cold light.
"Enemy attack!" When Yang Kai roared, he dragged Yin Zhiyong down from the roof.
In the next instant, a few clusters of arrows pierced where they stood just now, and the powerful force directly pierced the roof.
Yin Zhiyong's drinking spirit suddenly became sober, stood up and nodded to Yang Kai to express his gratitude.
However, before the two of them recovered, there were strong winds from the left and right.
Yang Kai hurriedly drew a knife with his left hand, and slashed it behind him.
A short and rapid scream sounded, and the attacker behind him died instantly, and another sharp sword brushed his chest and cut his clothes.
Yang Kai shook his body and stepped out step by step. The knife in his hand rose and fell. When the light of the knife flashed, he screamed again and again.
When Yang Kai stopped, five or six people had fallen behind him.
Yin Zhiyong looked at Yang Kai with a dull expression. The long sword around his waist had just been unsheathed, and the enemies had already lay down. After holding back for a while, he praised: "Good kung fu, old man!"
When the voice fell, Yang Kai had already carried the knife and rushed towards him with a murderous expression on his face.
Yin Zhiyong's calf trembled, and the long sword instinctively handed it forward. Yang Kai leaned back and held his shoulder with one hand. With one hand, Yin Zhiyong slid around in a circle, just avoiding the attack from behind. The arrow.
