Family Has a Concubine

The garden behind the magistrate's yamen is designed to receive temporary visits from the peak or nobles, so the courtyard is very spacious and exquisite.

Ye Tangcai was in the main courtyard, lying on the window sill, looking at the courtyard outside, but when the sun went down in the evening, Chu Yunpan hadn't come back yet.

Ye Tangcai felt uneasy and listless.

Hui Ran and Qing Liu kept persuading her, but no matter what they said, Ye Tangcai couldn't cheer up.

"You can't help sitting here, let's hang out here." Qi Min stepped forward.

Qi Min understood Ye Tangcai's mood best at this time.

Before her grandfather passed away, whenever the weather was bad and she went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables in winter, she would sit at the door every day looking forward and looking forward, and the anxiety in her heart was uncontrollable.

"Yeah." Ye Tangcai couldn't sit still.

The two had no choice but to hang out in the yard.

The prefect's yamen is very large, and the back is divided into two. The three entrances on the west are for the prefect's daily life, and the three entrances on the east are for distinguished guests to live temporarily.

The two of them went out of the gate of the east courtyard, and when they looked forward, they saw the gate of the west courtyard.

Ye Tangcai said, "Is that where the magistrate lives?"

"En." Qi Min nodded.

Ye Tangcai looked again, and saw that if you walked forward through the alley between the west courtyard and the east gate, you could enter the back door of the yamen.

The west courtyard is separated from the yamen's public hall by a wall, and the east courtyard is separated from the yamen's squad by a wall.

After wandering around here for a while, they couldn't find anything new, and Chu Jiajun didn't let her run around, and detained them back to the yard.

It was getting dark gradually, Xiaoquan brought food again, Huiran and Qingliu helped prepare the food.

Ye Tangcai's face was tense, and she looked at Xiaoquan: "Is there any news from the third master?"

"Not yet." Xiaoquan said.

"Where's Yu Yang?" Ye Tangcai frowned slightly.

"Brother Yuyang and Ma Zhifu led the troops to Dongniu Mountain together." Xiaoquan said.

"I know!" Ye Tangcai was a little angry, "I asked him to report the news, and he should give me an answer if he succeeds. Since you know Dongniu Mountain, let someone go and see, okay? ?”

Xiaoquan shuddered, and quickly bowed his head: "Yes."

Xiaoquan ran out.

Ye Tangcai was so anxious that she couldn't even eat, Qi Min and Hui Ran tried to persuade her again and again, and then she managed to swallow a couple of mouthfuls.

Back in the room, I was running around in a hurry, after half an hour, the sky was already dark.

Ye Tangcai became more and more worried, because of that letter, she knew there was danger there.

She sent the news, but Chu Yunpan did not come back, and the person who sent the news never returned.

What's going on here?

He went to Dongniu Mountain early in the morning. Could it be that he was plotted against?

At this time, there were snowflakes outside, and her heart was as heavy as frost and snow, and she was about to cry.

It wasn't until halfway through the hour of the day that Xiaoquan rushed in with his whole body covered in frost and snow: "Third Master is safe?"

Ye Tangcai asked, "Did he enter the mountain? Then what happened?"

Xiaoquan scratched his head, and then said: "This... the third master started to chase the bandits to Dongniu Mountain, but Dongniu Mountain is too big, the forest is dense, and there are too many places to hide, so let's go to Dongniu Mountain first." People surrounded the whole mountain. But once the mountain is surrounded, there are enough people. So when I came back, I asked Brother Yuyang and Ma Zhifu to send troops. I originally planned to go into the mountain to guard and arrest, but... because of your reminder from the third grandma, so The third master is still outside, did not go in...he is waiting for the general soldier."

"That's it?" Seeing the briefness of the news, Ye Tang felt uneasy.

"Yes..." Xiaoquan nodded. After replying, he hurriedly backed out.

Ye Tangcai sat in front of the window, resting her chin and looking out at the courtyard that was dimly lit by the snow.

"Look, I didn't go into the mountain, maybe I'll be back tomorrow." Hui Ran said, "It's getting late, let's take a rest."

At this time, only the sound of footsteps outside, Ye Tangcai knew that most of the Chu family's army had been transferred away.

Those footsteps seemed to be stepping on her heart.

Ye Tangcai lowered her head, "I'm hungry, I want to drink ginseng soup."

Hui Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go right away. How about making you a bowl of small wontons?"

"Oh, let's do it!" Ye Tangcai glanced at her again, "I see that you didn't eat much for dinner, so if you do, then make more, let's eat together."

"Okay." Huiran agreed and went out.

After a while, He and Qingliu brought a large soup plate of small wontons.

Huiran brought the bowls and chopsticks, and first filled a bowl for Ye Tang, who took a sip: "Light."

"Is it light? Then I'll bring some salt." Huiran went out to get some salt.

"Where's Minmin?" Ye Tangcai glanced at Qingliu.

"I just saw her go back to the wing." Qingliu said, "I'll call her and see if she eats."

After speaking, he left the house.

Qi Min lived in the wing room on the left, Qing Liu walked over, knocked on the door, but there was no sound, pushed the door open, and saw that Qi Min had fallen on the bed and was sleeping soundly.

She was really tired these days, no wonder she fell asleep so early.

Qingliu couldn't call her, so she went back to Ye Tangcai's room, Huiran had already returned with salt, and put some for the little wonton.

Qingliu ate a mouthful, groaned, but didn't dare to call out, where it was weak, it was obviously salty. But thinking that Ye Tangcai doesn't like eating anything these days, I just feel that Ye Tangcai's mouth is bland and he wants to eat something salty.

Ye Tangcai was still eating the bowl she put out first, only added a little salt to it, but the taste was still tasteless.

Although the soup made by Qingliu and Huiran Xinsheng was a bit salty, the taste in the wonton was just right, and it was delicious. But after eating half a bowl, the two of them felt that something was wrong. They just felt dizzy, cut off their bodies, and lay down on the table.

Even the bowls in front of them were knocked over.

Ye Tangcai jumped up quickly, helped up the overturned bowl, and wiped the soup on the table with a dry cloth, so that it didn't flow onto them and make them catch a cold.

Ye Tangcai ran to the bed, brought two quilts to cover them, then took out the small bundle that had been packed earlier and went out.

Xiaoquan just came to report, obviously full of loopholes.

If none of them went in, then why didn't Yuyang send someone to send a letter to her, saying that the news had been delivered, so that she could feel at ease.

Obviously, Yu Yang may not have been able to reach Dongniu Mountain, but Chu Yunpan had already entered the mountain. And Chu Jiajun who went out just now was in a panic, and she felt that something happened to him.

But the people here will definitely not let her go out, neither Huiran nor Qingliu.

She has to go, she just wants to see him and find him now!

Therefore, she can only put Huiran and Qingliu down.

She has sweat medicine on her body. Qi Min asked them to buy this when they went out, and each of them carried a bag, saying that if something really happened, it might be useful.

Where did I think of it, it really came in handy.

There were Chu Jiajun handles outside, so she couldn't get out from the main entrance, she could only climb the wall.

Thinking about it, she moved a chair from the house, ran out of the courtyard, and put it on the wall. But after climbing up, I found that it was still out of reach.
