Ambush from all sides

? "Zhan Hao said indifferently, stretched out his hand and poured himself a new cup of tea, and took a sip as if nothing had happened. Wei Jing stared blankly at his appearance that had nothing to do with him, secretly a little dumbfounded. People say that romantic people are the most Heartless, that's right.

"Okay," Wei Zhifu stood up regretfully, stretched out his hand and patted the hem of his clothes, as if he felt disappointed that he hadn't dug up something, "I'll go first, and I'll come to your place for tea tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he She waved her hand and was about to go back. At this time, at the door, a little maid came in with a girl in plain clothes, and greeted clearly in the corridor: "Master! Miss Wan Shu is looking for you!"

With this cry, Zhan Hao saw that Mr. Wei, who had already stepped forward, raised his mustache and turned back excitedly with a gossip expression on his face.He rested his forehead and sighed, got up and walked a few steps out of the lobby.In the porch by the courtyard, Wan Shu, who used to be gorgeously dressed in the past, has shed all her splendor at this time, wearing only a light onyx summer dress, and walked in gracefully with her head down.She was carrying two bundles, one looked heavier, probably made of gold and silver.

Zhan Hao quietly watched her walking all the way, his ordinary eyes didn't change at all, and his expression was also deserted.Wan Shu walked up to him slowly, raised her big eyes and looked at him with a pitiful look, but her red lips were tightly closed and she did not speak.Zhan Hao looked at her with his amber eyes, and after a while he stretched out his hand to invite her to the lobby, and said calmly, "Miss Wanshu, are you here all right?"

Wan Shu saw the alienation and indifference in Zhan Hao's eyes, and her slender body couldn't help trembling.She grabbed the silk scarf in her hand, pinned her feet to the entrance of the lobby and couldn't move away, her lips kept trembling: "Mr. Zhan, Wan Shu came to visit today, and I know it is abrupt. If you are unhappy, my master, I will just leave..."

As she said that, she really turned around and wanted to leave. When Wei Zhifu saw it, he couldn't help showing a heartbroken expression of hatred for iron and steel: "Oh, Zhan Hao, how can you treat other girls like this? Come on, come on, Miss Wan Shu, let's ignore him, come in and sit down!" He said, and brought Wan Shu in while greeting him.Wan Shu sat down with him tearfully, and said softly, "Thank you, Master Wei..."

"Ah, girl, what you said really upset me! Zhan Hao is a bastard who doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, but I am good at it. It's what we men should do to make beauties happy!" Wei Jing laughed and stretched out his hand The cup came out and poured tea for Wan Shu.Zhan Hao remained silent, turned around and sat down, but there was no expression on his face.

Holding the teacup in both hands, Wan Shu drank a cup of hot tea slowly, and then said in a low voice, "Master Zhan, Wan Shu is desperate, so I came to you. But if there is another way, I won't I came to trouble you, I know my humble status..."

Zhan Hao waved his hand and interrupted her calmly: "There is no distinction between high and low, Miss Wan Shu don't need to underestimate herself. Zhan and the girl have some friendship, if there is anything they can do to help, they will definitely not stand idly by But, Miss Wan Shu, you can be regarded as a popular person in the south of the Yangtze River, so why can't you find a way out?"

"Mr. Zhan doesn't know something," Wan Shu wiped her eyes, with a look of grievance on her usually gentle and restrained face, "When Mr. Zhan used to come to drink tea with Wan Shu, many sisters in the building were jealous of me in private. , but I didn’t dare to make a mistake because of my mother’s majesty. Later, when the young master stopped coming, those people began to add insult to injury and say that I was broken by the young master. I explained to them that Mr. Zhan kept himself clean and had never touched Wan Shu, but they They didn’t listen. After a few days, some unreasonable guests heard about these gossips and asked me to sleep with them. My mother said that I only sell my art but not my body, and they ridiculed me.”

"After going back and forth, my mother discussed with me, saying that I should sell myself. If I didn't want to, my mother forced me, but the guest I brought was scratched by me again. My mother was very angry and put me under house arrest. Give me food and punish me for self-reflection. After a few days, the building collapsed..."

"I also want to go to Suzhou. There are many singing and dancing halls there, and there are also old friends from my mother. But those people, they even slandered me as a drug addict, and I will die soon! They also took most of my savings over the past few years! I really am I can't find a way out, Mr. Zhan, I really can't find a way out, so I can only come to you, please, help me, help Wanshu..."

At this point, Wan Shu was sobbing.There was only a touch of plain makeup on her face, and she didn't even draw any shadows, so she looked even more pitiful when she cried.Zhan Hao looked at her quietly, with no expression on his face, but Wei Jing who was at the side sighed and shook his head repeatedly.

Zhan Hao looked down at her fair face, and said in a cool tone, "Miss Wan Shu said that she was desperate, but as far as I know, during the time you entertained me, Yan Heng, the eldest son of the Yan family, was also your guest of honor. , why don't you go find him?"

Hearing these words, Wan Shu suddenly stopped crying.She raised her face, stared slightly, and looked at Zhan Hao with tears in her unbearably aggrieved eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Master Zhan, do you really don't know, or you don't know ?Since you know that Mr. Yan came to me, then you should know why he came to me!"

"Every time Mr. Yan came, it was after you left—he was not looking for me, but you, Mr. Zhan! Every time, every time, as soon as you walked out of Yuehua Tower, he would come to me and ask What did I say and what did you do. After you stopped coming, he lost interest in me. Don't you know these things, Mr. Zhan?"

"If Mr. Yan still came to look for me like in the past, then I wouldn't end up in this situation. I don't know Qianzhong's kind of charm, so I can't charm him, and I can't find someone to back me. Mr. Zhan, I don't want to live on the street, and I don't want to be looked down upon by those people. So please, please, for the sake of playing the piano for you that day to relieve your fatigue, please take me in!"

"I don't expect to live a good life, just let me be a maid. I know that Mr. Zhan is a bodhisattva and treats his servants meticulously. Wanshu is bold enough to ask you for an errand. I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness. Treat me like a family member, if you are in the mood, and help me find an honest husband, Wan Shu will be very grateful, really..."

As she cried, she knelt softly at Zhan Hao's feet, tears streaming down her face.Zhan Hao frowned and looked at her gloomily, as if he hadn't made up his mind, and didn't intend to keep her.Wei Jing watched furiously from the side, and couldn't help but said: "Zhan Hao, don't be so hard-hearted, boy! The girl is so pitiful, what will happen if you take it in for a while? Isn't it just to arrange a way out? You have so many connections, why not?" Anything is fine! Anyway, we are still living together, you can't just turn around and ignore him!"

Zhan Hao remained silent, still not speaking.Wan Shu knelt on the ground for a long while, seeing that he was still indifferent, her big eyes could not help showing a look of despair.She closed her eyes sadly, letting the tears flow down the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth kept shaking.

"Wan Shu understands, Mr. Zhan, I'm sorry, I came here without authorization, and interrupted..." As she spoke, she trembled, grabbed the edge of the table with one hand, and stood up supporting her limp legs.As she bowed her body, the burden on her shoulders slid off, and the necklace and jewelry inside fell to the ground with a "crash" and scattered everywhere.Wan Shu's tears, which she could barely hold back, welled up again and fell down uncontrollably.She squatted down with trembling lips, stretched out her limp hands and slowly picked up the scattered earrings and pearl hairpins on the ground, choking with depression while picking them up.

Until this time, Zhan Hao's expressionless face finally showed a hint of helplessness, and his eyes gradually softened.He stretched out his hand to help Wan Shu up, and said in a low voice: "Don't pick it up, I'll let you stay, and I will serve tea and water with Min Wei from now on, don't be tired." Frowning slightly, he turned around and walked out without saying a word.

Wan Shu covered her mouth, and couldn't help weeping with joy in her grief.Wei Jing stretched out his hand to pat her on the shoulder, and the old god said genuinely: "Miss Wan Shu, don't cry, Zhan Hao has a cold face and a warm heart, he won't ignore your affairs. He promised to keep you Come down, you should do well, although this kid is a bit treacherous, he is still partial to his family members. Guaranteed to find you a better husband than Liu Yan's man, then you should be grateful!" After finishing speaking , Wei Zhifu comforted her a few more words, and then left contentedly.The material dug up this time can be described as vigorous, not only Wan Shu and Zhan Hao, but also the eldest son of the Yan family and Zhan Hao... Hehe, I have something to say when I go back this time.

In the lobby, Min Wei watched Wei Jing walk out with cold eyes, and could not help but spit in a low voice.She stretched out her hand to help the crumbling Wan Shu up, and looked at her with her chin raised, with some unclear resistance in her eyes.Wan Shu seemed to sense her dislike, so she reached out to wipe away her tears, pursed her lips and carefully gave her a weak smile: "Miss Minwei, Wan Shu doesn't understand anything, so I'll be in a lot of trouble in the future."

Min Wei stared at her for a long while with her chin raised, a faint sneer curled up on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was strange: "What's the trouble? Hmph, it's not troublesome at all."

In the evening, when delivering meals to the dead leaves, Min Wei stopped Ji Tang, who was carrying a food box, in the west courtyard, and cut off the things in her hand with a dazed expression.Ji Tang looked at her with some amusement, and said, "Sister Minwei, what are you doing here?"

"Hmph, I'm going to make a small report!" Min Wei squinted coldly at Wan Shu who was wiping the table clumsily in the dining room, with a bad expression on her face.Ji Tang was stunned, and said with some uncertainty: "Are you going to tell Brother Cen? He is not in a good mood right now. If you stimulate me, what if..."

"Hey, it's annoying if you don't get excited! I can't bear to see them exhausted like this! The young master has too many romantic debts, dare you say that you don't feel worthless for Big Brother Cen?! You still don't understand anything, If the young master just got his hands like this, it would be too cheap for him!" Min Wei twisted her lips angrily, Xiao Man twisted her waist, and slammed straight into the east courtyard.

Ji Tang sighed behind him for a while, thinking that the young master was forced to take a step back by that Wanshu during the day, and he was also a little depressed.So I thought in my heart, well, Minwei is going to stimulate that side, so I'll come and find out here.Thinking about it, the little girl put her hands behind her back and walked slowly towards Zhan Hao's room.

The east courtyard was full of black lights, and it was only when we walked to the door of the small courtyard that we saw a little fire.Min Wei entered the yard with her red lips curled up, walked along the deep corridor, and stood in front of the dead leaf's door after a while.

She rarely comes here, usually Ji Tang.Seeing the dead leaves on weekdays, Min Wei doesn't greet him very much, it's not that she can't understand or dislike, but this girl's temperament is just like this.Deceitful, arrogant, not afraid of death, even dared to contradict Zhan Hao, and not once or twice.Zhan Hao has a headache for her and Yuan He the most, and he complains with a vicious tongue. Thanks to the fact that he drove Yuan He back to Suzhou in the past two days, otherwise he would have left Wan Shu behind, and he might have been ridiculed by these two girls in harmony. .

Standing in front of the door, Min Wei didn't even say hello, just pushed the door and walked in.As soon as she stepped over the threshold with one foot, a piece of wood narrowly brushed against her cheek, and inserted into the door panel beside her with a sound of "嘡".The little girl froze while holding the food box, and it took a while to recover, realizing that she was probably being dealt with by the dead leaves as a sneak attack.The little girl was a little annoyed, she couldn't help but put the food box on the table forcefully, turned around and crossed her hips, glared viciously at the dead leaf standing by the bed, who was on guard all over, and cursed: "You bloody killer, you have such bad eyesight!" You are still number one in the Jianghu, even I can’t recognize me, eating so much food for nothing! Your master didn’t teach you to look for it before you shoot, my face was almost scratched by you, what a broken level, this kung fu Forget it!"

Withered Ye stood stiffly beside the bed, her face turned blue and white by her scolding.This little girl, usually when Ji Tang came to deliver food, she would say hello first at the gate of the courtyard, how could she rush in without saying a word?And he was so aggressive that Dead Leaf thought someone was coming to trouble him.Now it's all right, it's a joke.Looking at the relentless little girl in front of her, Dead Ye did not know how many times she felt sad for Zhan Hao's aesthetics in choosing a girl.

Min Wei stood there and finished cursing angrily for a round, seeing that he didn't respond, she didn't bother to scold anymore.With her eyes wide open and her mouth puffed out, she picked up the food box and walked over with a full face of anger, stretched out her hand, and shouted angrily: "Take it! I will bring you food on a whim, and you welcome me like this!"

Withered Leaf resentfully reached out to take it, and looked away from her with some embarrassment.The little girl squinted at him angrily for a while, and saw him slowly take out the vegetables and rice, and sat down as if on pins and needles, with chopsticks in his hand, hesitating and not moving for a long time.Seeing this, Min Wei's heart became angry again, and she shouted in a high voice: "What are you doing! Could it be that I can't eat after looking at you?! Big men are so precious, they are more exquisite than girls!"

Withered Ye gritted his teeth and thought silently, men don't have the same knowledge as little girls, I endured... Thinking, he picked up a chopsticks food stiffly, stuffed it into his mouth stiffly, and chewed without taste.Seeing that he had finally eaten, Min Wei sat down with her chin raised, stretched out her small hands to support her cheeks and watched him eat.Dead Leaf glanced at her posture, and almost choked her mouthful of food, unable to swallow it—why did this girl sit down?I don't have much friendship with her!Watching me eat, what is this called?

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Minwei couldn't help but feel extremely terrified—seeing others sad, she felt happy in her heart.So Queen Minwei showed a satisfied smile, leaned on the side of the table in a lazy posture, and said in a slow and drawn out voice: "This afternoon, Wanshu from the Yuehua Building, come here I'm looking for the young master."

Hearing Wan Shu's name, Dead Leaf couldn't help but pause for a moment, and her mind paused for a moment.Min Wei looked at his reaction with satisfaction, and said again: "That Wan Shu came to beg the young master to take her in. She said that she was pushed out by her peers and had nowhere to go, so she could only come here. Now, take a guess, the young master has Didn't agree to take her in?"

Dead Ye picked up his chopsticks silently, chewed slowly in his mouth twice, then swallowed the food, and answered in a cold voice with no expression on his face: "Whether he stays or not, it's none of my business? You let me guess what?" ?”

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Min Wei spat a few times in disdain, with a noncommittal and disgusted expression on her face.Xin said that he has already answered like this, but he still has the nerve to insist that the matter of the young master has nothing to do with you?This idiot's number one killer is really terribly innocent!Tsk, no, wouldn't it be too pitiful if such a pure little animal was simply eaten by the young master's big-tailed wolf?

Min Wei bitterly slandered her young master's attributes, her lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were also narrowed.She leaned forward slowly, approached the dead leaves mysteriously, lowered her voice and said, "Let me tell you, young master, he left that Wan Shu behind."

"That woman said it nicely. You just need to be a maid. Who knows where she's staring. The young master also has a broken head. This kind of person can't be done without some money. It's true. If you keep her here, you won't be afraid of anything going wrong in the future."

Dead Leaf ate his food in silence, as if he didn't care about it at all.It's just that after Minwei finished these few words, he answered coldly: "He shows great importance to love and righteousness, and is very fraternal. People say that benevolence can rule the world. To him, that is Emotion can determine the country."

When Min Wei heard this, she couldn't help laughing wildly with her pointed chin up, and slammed the table while laughing: "Hahahahaha, well said! This sentence is well said! Unexpectedly, when you are also eloquent, I used to Why didn't you find out? Hahaha!" After speaking, the little girl raised her head and laughed again, trying to relieve her anger.

The dead leaves on the side were still silent and expressionless.He poked the green vegetables in the bowl with his chopsticks, kept poking, and kept poking until the leaves of the vegetables were all rotten, and then he stopped slowly.Min Wei beside her had already suppressed her smile, and was watching his expression carefully with her breath held.Seeing the silent and suppressed look of the dead leaves, the little girl couldn't help but squinted her eyes ghostly, and silently showed a triumphant smile on her face.

At this time, in the night sky outside the window, in front of the bright moon, the figure of a small bird suddenly passed by, accompanied by a short bird song, crisp and loud.Withered Ye and Min Wei looked up together, and saw the bird's vague shadow falling into the middle courtyard, which seemed to be in the direction of Zhan Hao's bedroom.

"Yo, it's so late at night and you still deliver the letter." Min Wei teased casually, and sneered twice jokingly.Dead Leaf was still silent, he looked at the bright Milky Way in the dark blue night sky, and frowned again.

On the other side of the middle courtyard, Ji Tang and Zhan Hao were sitting in the porch, chatting one after another.Zhan Hao is a little tired now, the business affairs distracted him too much, so he couldn't spare more time to spend with the dead leaves.

"Is he recovering soon?"

"Well, I take good medicine every day. The poison of forbidden medicine has happened a few times, but Brother Cen has endured it. It is estimated that he will be fine in five or six days."

"That's good," Zhan Hao said, leaning on the pillar wearily, "When these things are cleared up, I will go to Yuliang Mountain to get his knife back. I saw him sneaking around in the past few days. Practicing in the yard, I don’t even have anything to hand.”

"Master," Ji Tang looked at his tired face, and couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Don't be too tired, go talk to Big Brother Cen when you have time, it can be considered as a rest. I saw him bored all day long, It seems that there is something on his mind, and he looks serious. If you don't reassure him, I'm afraid that if he gets into something..."

"Do you think his heart can be widened if I want to?" Zhan Hao smiled self-deprecatingly, stretched out his hand to rub his painful eyes: "Lin Zhihuan didn't know what he said, and almost gave all my previous achievements to him. Destroyed. You Brother Cen is suspicious, this is a temper you developed when you were a child, and you can’t change it for a while. I want to pry his mouth open, and I’m afraid it won’t work in a year or two.”

"Then... do you just let him think about it?"

"Of course not." Zhan Hao covered his eyes and smiled faintly, "I want to enlighten him and make him realize certain things. This guy is too cautious. If I take a step closer to him, he will retreat. Ten steps. In this case, I can only force him to walk towards me. It is useless for me to take the initiative. I have to find a way to make him come closer."

As he spoke, he lowered his palms and slowly opened his eyes facing Tianhe.In an instant, the Milky Way was reflected in his light and transparent eyeballs, like fireworks blooming in his eyes, bright and moving.Ji Tang was stunned watching from the side, the young master in front of him had a calm face, and the cool night wind gently blew his long hair, making him look ethereal and frightening like a banished fairy.

This scene made Ji Tang couldn't help sighing in his heart, if one day the immortals landed, their posture would be just like Zhan Hao's now.

In the empty night, only bugs chirped in a low voice, and the surroundings were completely silent. This rare peaceful atmosphere made Ji Tang feel a little dazed.She raised her eyes and looked at the night sky quietly, thinking of a kind of fulfilling life that might be possible in the future. After this painstaking game, the young master and Brother Cen could be together with peace of mind, she couldn't help it. Live in anticipation.

"Chirp—" At this time, a bird song suddenly came from the sky, which woke her up from her reverie.Ji Tang opened his eyes, feeling a gust of wind blowing by, and a gray bird landed in Zhan Hao's hands with a "thud".Ji Tang took a closer look, and couldn't help showing a puzzled expression on his face: "Hey, isn't this an urgent report from Brother Zheng?"

Zhan Hao calmly took off the letter tied to its feet, carefully flattened it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully.Later, Ji Tang saw a doting smile that he hadn't seen for a long time on Zhan Hao's face.He was happy for a while, then smiled and held the note between his fingers and turned it over for Ji Tang to read.With the help of the faint light in the corridor, Ji Tang saw a few small black characters neatly written on the small white paper——

Second Young Master and Fifth Master Bai will arrive in Changzhou tomorrow evening.
