I heard that you are a scum

After dinner, everyone sat together.

Duan Yannian asked: "Old Madam, who did you offend? Why did the other party send so many people to take your lives?"

The old matriarch pondered for a moment before replying: "The Cen family has never offended anyone. Ever since Grandpa Shanshi became an official in the court, he only led troops to fight and did not care about the political affairs of the court. The old man couldn't figure out who they were .”

"What is known so far is that there are two groups of people looking for our whereabouts. One belongs to the imperial court, and they can kill us if they catch us; the other belongs to these killers who came out of nowhere. Their purpose is very clear, to kill You guys." Duan Yannian continued, "You can't get out of the city gate. This house is still safe, but it's still too close to the center of the capital. Stay here and wait for one of the two groups to come to the door. It's not a long-term solution. What do you think?"

"My injury hasn't healed yet, and I don't agree to leave." Due to limited conditions, Cen Qing's wound was only hastily bandaged, which didn't do much good at all. I retired a long time ago, and my body is weak, so it is really not suitable for running around.

Uncle Cen suggested: "Well, let's rest here first, and send people out every day to investigate the situation. During this period, let's think about countermeasures and make other plans."

Duan Yannian had no other choice but to agree.

The Cen family all returned to their rooms.

Seeing that they were all gone, Chuntao approached them and said to Duan Yannian and Xiao Qi: "I was in the kitchen just now and found a cellar, but I didn't know what was going on inside, so I didn't go down. Young master, do you think it might be some kind of secret? Do you know?"

Duan Yannian stood up in surprise, and said, "Let's go and have a look!"

The three of them came to the kitchen. Chuntao went to the corner and lifted up a board. The sun shone in from the outside, and one could see that the walls of the hole below were irregular, which was quite different from the walls in the secret passage.Xiao Qi climbed down the ladder, jumped inside, and ignited the fire.

"I'm going!" he exclaimed.

"What's wrong?!" Duan Yannian and Chuntao peeked inside.

Xiaoqi's muffled voice came from inside: "This is a wine cellar, and it's full of wine jars. I put out the fire. Be careful when you come down."

Duan Yannian and Chuntao carefully climbed down one by one.

The eyes couldn't adapt to the darkness for a while, and the two groped forward.

"Ah!" Xiaoqi walked around behind Chuntao, and immediately hugged Chuntao by the waist, causing Chuntao to let out a short exclamation.

"What's wrong?!" Duan Yannian thought that there was danger, and asked anxiously.

"My lord, I'm fine! Xiao Qi is scaring me." Chun Tao twisted Xiao Qi's hand hard, and Xiao Qi let her go in pain.

"Oh, that's it." Duan Yannian shrugged his nose, and he inhaled a mellow aroma of wine, "I'm afraid there are many good wines here."

He blinked his eyes, and his vision gradually became clear, and what caught his eyes were jars of wine stacked high one after another.Each was sealed with a red cloth, and a note with the name of the wine was pasted on the jars.

"Good guy, Mr. Duan, you're buying a yard to send a secret road to a wine cellar. It's a good deal." Xiao Qi sighed.

"Here is a jar of daughter red!" Chuntao remembered the jar of wine under Sijigui in the courtyard of the Duan Mansion, and said, "It's a pity that the young master buried the wine in the yard. You are such a crow's mouth. The house was confiscated by officers and soldiers."

Duan Yannian touched his nose, but did not dare to make a sound.

Xiao Qi leaned over and asked, "What kind of wine was buried?"

Chuntao blushed, and slapped him aside: "Why do you care so much?!"

"It doesn't matter, just don't care, what are you beating someone for?!" Xiao Qi leaned against the wall disconsolately.

There was a sudden change, a wall behind Xiao Qi suddenly rotated, and his body leaning against the wall fell directly on his back.

"Xiaoqi!" Chuntao and Duan Yannian rushed over, and the wall returned to its original shape after turning around.

Duan Yannian stretched out his hand and pushed gently, pushing out a gap.It turned out that this wall was originally a square stone door, but the cellar was dim, so it looked the same as the surrounding walls.The stone gate takes the center as the axis, as long as someone pushes the two sides, it will change from horizontal to vertical, and both sides give up space for one person to pass through.

"Ouch..." Xiao Qi stood up rubbing her butt behind Shimen, "Scare me!"

Chuntao first covered her mouth and smiled lightly, then asked: "My lord, shall we go in and have a look?"

"En." Duan Yannian nodded, and the two stepped into the stone gate.

There were some odds and ends piled up here, and because of the lessons learned from the wine cellar, they went in and groped around, and found a cellar door that was exactly the same as the kitchen, except that the door was pinned by tree branches.

Xiao Qi pulled out the branch pinned to the cellar door, pulled the door open, and there was another dark hole.

"How many secret ways have been built here..." Chun Tao couldn't help but sigh.

Xiaoqi made a gesture to go down the ladder to see the situation, but Duan Yannian stopped him: "No need to go down, this should be the left exit we took before."

"My lord, how did you find out?"

Duan Yannian pointed to his head, and explained: "It's so dark, how did I know it? I wrote down the way we walked before, and I thought at that time that the exit probably wouldn't be too far from the yard. Let's Although it took a long distance, it actually went around in a circle. If there is light here, you should still be able to see the marks left on the inside of the board when Xiao Qi pushed it, and the taste that Brother Xiao Qi said at the time should be wine. It’s fragrant. Let’s go, bring some jars of wine up, we’ll be drunk if we have wine now!”

……

Duan Yannian was completely drunk.

After getting drunk, he took off the jade pendant tied around his neck, held it in his hand desperately, and went to sleep under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

Where can I find sweet-scented osmanthus trees in this place?Chuntao and Xiaoqi coaxed him back to the bedroom.

Under Xiao Qi's supervision, she undressed Duan Yannian, then stuffed him under the quilt, and pulled Xiao Qi who was pouting back to the yard.

"Aren't you happy? I'm the son's maid. I've been doing these things for several years. If you get jealous every time, why don't you kill yourself?" Chuntao teased him.

Xiao Qi turned her head: "Who is jealous..."

"Let's talk about you." Chuntao stuffed a handful of peanuts into his mouth, "Chang'an Little Vinegar King~"

Xiao Qi chewed on peanuts and said vaguely: "I'm not!"

"I can't stop you from eating!" Chuntao reprimanded him with a stern face, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing first.She pushed Xiao Qi's arm and called him, "Hey, the surname is Song."

"Why?" Xiao Qi replied reluctantly.

"Tell me—how long will this day last..."

"This—it's hard to say." Xiao Qi moved and sat next to her, put his arms around her shoulders, and leaned her head on his shoulders, "Master Duan's place is not particularly safe. Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight, we will be found, and then we will have to run for our lives. Running around, nowhere to stay. Maybe someone will be injured or die."

Chun Tao was a little depressed by what he said. She closed her eyes and sighed: "The Cen family, if I were the son, I would have left them to fend for themselves. Why do you let the young master think of General Cen so wholeheartedly?"

Xiao Qi turned to look at her: "Don't worry about Mr. Duan's feelings, just talk about you—" He hesitated to speak.

"What am I?" Chuntao asked.

Xiaoqi said hesitantly: "Tell me about you...to me...that...what do you think..."

Chuntao blushed, and immediately turned his face away, not letting him look at her, and replied dryly: "Can... can you have any ideas... just... that's it..."

"Then what do you think of me?"

"It's okay..."

"Spring peach."

"Don't call me!"

"Chun Tao!"

"I told you not to call me!" Chuntao closed her eyes in embarrassment, and pushed Xiaoqi to the ground with a slap.

Xiaoqi got up aggrieved, put both hands on the stool, and looked at her: "I just want to say, this house, Mr. Duan said, is a dowry for you."

Chuntao's shy head was filled with smoke, when she thought of what Duan Yannian told her before, let her marry Xiaoqi three days later; she also thought of her daughter Hong under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, she knew that her son could do such a thing things come.

Xiao Qi leaned forward and asked her with a playful smile: "I still want to ask, you see, people have already moved in anyway, when will we find time to get things done?"

"Since you have already accepted the young master's dowry—" She saw Xiao Qi staring at her eagerly, and continued, "Then you go and ask the young master to marry you!"

With a bang, Duan Yannian kicked open the door of the bedroom, and shouted to the yard: "Well said, marry! I must marry!"

Xiao Qi's face collapsed in an instant.

Chuntao smiled "puchi", ran over quickly, supported Duan Yannian who was still walking unsteadily, and asked solemnly, "Young master, why did you come out with only your underwear on?"

Duan Yannian staggered, and said vaguely: "Where is my daughter Hong? Dig it out! Give Chuntao a dowry!"

Xiao Qi clasped his fist at Duan Yannian: "Master Duan, that's interesting!"

Duan Yannian, who was drunk, twisted left and right, not wanting Chuntao to catch him, and struggled hard.Chun Tao couldn't help him at all, so she called Xiao Qi, "What are you doing! Why don't you come over and help."

The two worked together again to send Duan Yannian back to the bedroom.

Xiaoqi rubbed her shoulder with his own, Chuntao gave him a blank look and didn't speak.

Xiao Qi chuckled, then pissed her off again, and said, "Lord Duan already said that, our matter...you understand~"

"I don't understand!"

"Chuntao." Xiaoqi suddenly became serious, took her hand, and said to her earnestly: "I don't know how long we can live, how many days we can live without rest. I just want to take advantage of the time now , Put my surname in front of your name earlier, so as not to have regrets when you think about it later."

Chuntao lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "Who wants to take your surname..."

"I'm proposing to you in a tactful way! It's so clear to me that I don't have any regrets, huh?"

Chuntao broke away from his hand, blushed and ran out, a word came in from outside——

"I...I think about it!"
