Chapter 991 Night Affairs
The silvery white moonlight shines into the screen window, the noisy and shrill chirping of the cicadas outside the window has also stopped, and everything in the surrounding fields is quiet. The moonlight and silence intertwined into a huge dream net, and everything in the world was included in the net, falling into a deep sleep.
But there are exceptions.
On the big bed in the master bedroom of Jingxiang Garden, Zhu Pingan turned over, and after a while he turned around again, and then turned around again. After a short while, Zhu Pingan turned over and over for more than ten times. times.
Tossing and turning, having trouble falling asleep.
From time to time, I glanced out the window and saw that the night was getting dark, so I turned around again. Why is the night so long?
"Brother Zhu, take a nap for a while. Just get up early tomorrow."
>
After Zhu Pingan turned over again, Li Shu, who was pretending to sleep on the side, couldn't bear it anymore. She stretched out Rouyi to hug Zhu Pingan in distress, pressed Zhu Pingan's head into her arms, and let him Fall asleep with your own soft pillow.
It is soft, and it must be more comfortable than a pillow for Brother Zhu to rest on, so that Brother Zhu can sleep.
“I’m bothering you.”
Zhu Pingan apologized softly, preparing to get up from Li Shu's chest, lie down on the side honestly, stop tossing and turning, and let Li Shu sleep well.
"You didn't bother me, you hurt me." Li Shu hugged Zhu Ping'an and said softly in a hoarse voice.
"But my pillow hurts you."
Zhu Ping'an raised his head anxiously, thinking that his head was resting on Li Shu's soft pillow, which hurt Li Shu's pillow.
"It's because you don't sleep and don't take care of your body that it makes me feel bad." Li Shu shook her head, hugged Zhu Ping'an's head tighter, and pressed it tightly, "If you don't believe me, just listen to me. heartbeat”
Dong Dong Dong.
The heartbeat is slow, as if playing a lullaby.
"Go to sleep, brother Zhu..." Li Shu hugged Zhu Pingan, her voice was like spring water, and her taste was as sweet as soaked honey.
"Yes."
Zhu Ping'an nodded slightly, hugged Li Shu with his backhand, and arched into Li Shu's arms like a little pig, finding a more comfortable position. , rubbed it for a few times, listened to Li Shu's heartbeat, and closed her eyes quietly.
"Giggle. Your breath is so ticklish."
After a few seconds, Li Shu couldn't help but giggled.
"Then I'll get up."
"No."
The night was deep and dreamy.
"Bang bang bang"
A night watchman passed by outside the mansion, and bang bang bang sounded the Yin hour watch, faintly transmitted into the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
In ancient times, every night, the watchman would hit the clapper to tell the time. The watchman now reports Yin time, which is around three o'clock.
After faintly hearing the sound of Yin Shi Bangzi, Zhu Ping'an opened his eyes, got up from the bed gently, and after getting out of bed, he carefully covered Li Shu with the quilt, and then gently touched Li Shu's forehead. Kissed.
Then, he grabbed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom gently.
After leaving the yard, Zhu Pingan went straight to the stables in the front yard.
Zhu Ping'an originally thought that Liu Dadao would not be up at this point. He was thinking about leading the horse and telling the nurse on duty in the front yard to tell him to wait until Liu Dadao got up. He said there was no need for him to deliver it today. However, what surprised Zhu Pingan was that Zhu Pingan saw Liu Dadao just as he walked to the stables.
"Brother Dadao, why did you get up so early?" Zhu Pingan asked in surprise.
"Haha, good morning, young master. The young lady sent a message to me yesterday evening, asking me to get up early this morning and wait for the young master."
Liu Dadao chuckled and scratched his head.
Well.
Okay.
Li Shu, this girl, Zhu Pingan heard this and looked up in the direction of Jingxiang Garden, feeling warm in his heart.
Because Zhu Pingan got up too early and the curfew time was not over yet, Zhu Pingan and Liu Dadao took their horses and waited in front of the gate of Linhuai Marquis Mansion for a while before the gong sounded to lift the curfew slowly. Ring. The moment he heard the gong sounding to lift the curfew, Zhu Ping'an got on his horse and rode quickly towards Yang Jisheng's mansion.
Liu Dadao rode his horse and followed closely behind.
Halfway through, Zhu Pingan suddenly remembered that he had not asked for leave from Prince Yu's Mansion. The two places were not on the same road, so Zhu Pingan asked Liu Dadao to change his route to Prince Yu's Mansion, and said to Wu Wanfu, the gatekeeper of Prince Yu's Mansion. I had something to do this morning, so I asked Wu Wanfu to help me ask for leave from King Yu.
"Okay, young master, I'll tell General Wu and then go wait for the young master outside Mr. Yang's mansion." Liu Dadao turned his horse's head and galloped towards Prince Yu's mansion.
Zhu Ping'an continued to ride his horse to Yang Jisheng's mansion. Fortunately, it was early and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. The road was smooth and smooth. In addition, the black horse was extremely powerful today and flew very fast. Zhu Ping'an arrived at Yang Jisheng's residence in less than twenty minutes.
Yang Jisheng's mansion is located in a back alley. The environment of this alley is not good, and there is a musty smell after entering. The courtyards in this alley are all for rent. The courtyard that Yang Jisheng rents is the smallest in this alley and the one with the worst location. It is just a small courtyard with a single family house. There is only a main house, a side room, and A kitchen and a toilet are similar to a rural courtyard. It couldn't be simpler.
It is really unimaginable for a dignified military official, a fifth-rank official, and a deputy bureau-level cadre, to rent such a courtyard.
Some of the walls of the courtyard are peeling off, but the outside of the courtyard is very clean.
There is a simple plaque hanging on the courtyard, which says "Yang Mansion". From the handwriting, it can be seen that it was written by Yang Jisheng himself. Looking at it, one can feel a strong and upright spirit coming from the plaque. It overflowed.
Through the crack in the door, I could vaguely see an oil lamp lighting up in the room.
It seems that Senior Brother Yang has not gone out yet.
Zhu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he finally didn't miss it.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Zhu Ping'an dismounted, stepped forward, held the door knocker, and gently knocked on the door of Yang Mansion.
There seemed to be movement in the courtyard, but no one came to open the door.
So, Zhu Pingan gently knocked on the door a few more times.
Shaoqing
There was a sound of footsteps.
“Who is it?”
An older man’s voice came from behind the door.
"Old man, I am Zhu Ping'an, a junior fellow student of Mr. Yang Jisheng Yang in your mansion. I have something to do and come here to pay a visit to Senior Brother Yang."
Zhu Ping'an answered with cupped hands outside the door and passed through the door. The face of an old servant in his fifties was vaguely visible through the cracks.
"My master's junior brother? Why did you come to visit so early? Then you wait." The old man behind the door was more cautious. After hearing Zhu Pingan's self-report, he did not open the door. He just asked Zhu Pingan to wait outside, and he went to the main room. Communication.
“Thank you, old man.” Zhu Ping’an cupped his hands and thanked him.
Then, a sound of footsteps was heard going away, and then the old man's voice was faintly heard.
A while passed.
Hearing a burst of fast footsteps from far to near, and then a creak, the door opened, and Yang Jisheng walked out quickly with a smile. (End of chapter)
